Chapter 43: Taking a Wife

After Ji Xia and Gao Han went down the mountain, they arrived at Qian's house without stopping.

The Qian family runs a century-old dyeing workshop called "Splendid Workshop". It is rumored that when Qian Mosheng was young, the dyeing workshop was not well run and his business plummeted, but he single-handedly restored the family's former glory when he became an adult.

Qian Mosheng is a person who is decisive in business, and he will do whatever he wants to get by all means; When it comes to life, spendthrift.

Therefore, unlike the elegance of the Guan family, whether it is carved beams and paintings or furnishings, the Qian family embodies the words "extreme luxury".

Walking into the house, there is a delicate Zhangbatiao case in front of you, with a kiln bottle and a bowl covered by the kiln; On the left red sandalwood shelf is a crystal clear white jade plate; On the carved rosewood table and chair on the right, which is meticulously made, is placed with a fine ancient porcelain tea set that is "white as clotted fat and sound like a song......

Gao Han noticed the unconcealable surprise in Ji Xia's eyes, and whispered beside her: "Qian Mosheng attaches great importance to enjoyment, and he must have the best food and clothing, and his life is famous for being arrogant and lascivious. ”

Ji Xia nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a woman came out of the back room.

I saw that she was only twenty-six or seventeen years old, wearing a thin smoky green veil with gold silk, a slender waist that could not be grasped, low sideburns and slanted pearl and jade hairpins, and delicate and pale skin. There was melancholy between her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved downward, revealing the melancholy of a woman who had been suppressed for a long time.

I only heard her say lightly: "The two adults are visiting, I don't know what business they do?" ”

"Mrs. Qian, the two of us came here this time for the death of Master Qian."

"Oh? Isn't the death of my lord an accident? Mrs. Qian said faintly.

Gao Han shook his head and said, "We just investigated and found out that someone deliberately destroyed the railing of the Wangjing Pavilion, causing Master Qian to stumble and fall off the cliff. ”

"What!"

With that, she coughed excitedly, and her chest fell along with the cough.

"Erniang, are you okay, why are you coughing again!"

I saw a young man hurrying to Mrs. Qian from the back room, and said eagerly with care, and heard him yell at the maids: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you see Madame coughing, and asked you to prepare the Chuanbei loquat dew!" ”

This man is Qian Zhixuan, the eldest young master of the Qian family.

Gao Han was just about to say hello, but Qian Zhixuan didn't seem to see them at all, he looked at Mrs. Qian gently and intently, and gently stroked Mrs. Qian's back with his hand, "Is it better, drink warm water and smooth your breath." ”

Mrs. Qian's snow-white slender hand pressed against her thin chest until she gasped.

Her right hand raised slightly, pointed at Gao Han and said, "Zhixuan, the two of them are from the yamen, and tell me that your father was killed." ”

At this time, Qian Zhixuan noticed that there were two people sitting next to him. I saw that his eyes were slightly raised, and he nodded arrogantly, which was regarded as a greeting.

This man is so rude. Ji Xia pursed his lips, he was still confused by his appearance before, thinking that he was an elegant and handsome son, and he was really unseemly.

"Two adults, you have to avenge my master!" Mrs. Qian said with a sigh.

Gao Han nodded solemnly, "Madame, don't worry, our duty is to try our best to find out the truth." ”

He paused and continued: "Mrs. Qian, there is something I want to ask you about below, I wonder if Master Qian has ever mentioned the matter of taking a concubine?" ”

Mrs. Qian's face changed slightly, "He once told me that he had taken a fancy to a girl, but instead of taking a concubine, he married a wife." ”

"Take a wife!" Ji Xia blurted out in shock.

Ji Xia looked at Mrs. Qian carefully, two frowning eyebrows, a pair of apricot eyes, and a small cherry mouth with a reddish color, although thin, she was a beauty.

"I'm just a concubine, and outsiders give face, so I call 'Mrs. Qian'." The corners of her mouth pulled into an arc, with a hint of self-mockery.

"He wants to marry and marry, don't think about these things anymore! People are dead, and what do you want to do? ”

"Since my father was murdered, please ask the two adults to investigate the case quickly!" Qian Zhixuan said coldly.

The intention of expelling customers is very obvious.

"We just wanted to ask Mrs. Qian about the situation......

Before the words fell, Qian Zhixuan snorted coldly, "I don't think what you asked has anything to do with my father's death!" His voice was extremely faint, with an icy aura, and his intention to reject people was very obvious.

"Erniang, it's cold at night, go back to your room to rest." Qian Zhixuan's eyes were gentle, as if he could pinch out the water.

He doesn't seem to care about his father's case, he only cares about Mrs. Qian!

Mrs. Qian, supported by Qian Zhixuan, got up and prepared to leave.

"Mrs. Qian, I have one last question, do you know who Master Qian is going to marry?"

As soon as the words fell, I only heard a "snap" at the door.

Everyone looked back and saw a maid running away in a hurry, and the dishes on the ground were broken.

"The maid is too reckless, which makes the two adults laugh." Mrs. Qian looked at the back of the maid and said softly.

Ji Xia only felt that the figure was very familiar, and he didn't have time to study it in detail, only to hear Mrs. Qian answer Ji Xia's question: "Jiang Wanyi." ”

"My mother?" Qian Zhixuan was shocked.

He was also shocked by the high cold and the summer season.

"Isn't my mother already dead?" Qian Zhixuan said in a trembling voice.

"But your father has never forgotten her!" Mrs. Qian's skeletal fingers tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, trembling slightly.

She tried her best to restrain her emotions, "Actually, she was driven away by your grandfather back then." ”

Outsiders only knew that Qian Zhixuan's biological mother died early, but they didn't know that the old lady of the Qian family thought that Qian Zhixuan's biological mother was lowly, and saw that Qian Mosheng was in love with her and wanted to marry her, so he was very angry and drove her away while Qian Mosheng was out doing business. The mother is expensive with the son, and it was not staged in the Qian family.

Qian Zhixuan's eyes were complicated, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

Mrs. Qian's hand touched the back of Qian Zhixuan's hand and patted him gently.

"My mother, she's still alive......," Qian Zhixuan muttered.

"I don't know, I'm just guessing, because your father has told me more than once that his wife can only be Jiang Wanyi."
