Chapter 4 Working together
The Qi family is a scholar family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and was named the Marquis of Mingyuan because of the dragon's merits, but the rulers of the Qi family know the importance of the family, and attach great importance to the education of the descendants of the family.
Therefore, in the past few hundred years, although the Qi family has occasionally fallen, there are still one or two descendants with unique vision and means, and they have persisted since the end of the year, so that the family has risen again, which is the wisdom of the family.
Therefore, the force of the Qi family is much stronger than these half-hung servants, usually the servants have knives in their hands, plus the restrictions of shackles and shackles, they can only passively bear it.
Now that the night is dark, the servants are drunk one by one, and they have already let down their vigilance in their hearts, and they don't check for a while, and one by one, they are all knocked to the ground without even making a sound, and Uncle Qi also found the key to their shackles from the messengers.
The Qi family finally regained their freedom at this time.
Uncle Qi looked at the official who had fainted on the ground, and shouted at Master Qi, "Father, what should I do next?" ”
I saw Master Qi say with a condensed face: "Aren't there still fire folds hidden in their bodies?" Then they will act according to the original plan, thinking that this fire will inevitably make them take care of themselves, and we can buy more time to escape. ”
The fire was blazing, Uncle Qi and Second Master Qi were holding Third Master Qi, and the rest of the women and children were all protecting and supporting each other, and everyone in the Qi family secretly ran to the depths of the jungle at night.
Qi Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, holding the silver she had touched from the soldier's arms in her hand, thinking that she had finally temporarily rewritten the ending of the Qi family.
This also made her heart swell with a sense of pride.
They are not puppets governed by the plot, the wisdom of Master Qi, the sophistication of Uncle Qi, everyone is an independent individual with a soul.
That's the case, the crazy male protagonist will go and see.
The days of escaping are very difficult, the Qi family has no household leads, and they are dressed in rags, like some serious taverns or boarding houses, they can't enter at all, and Master Qi doesn't dare to take too much of it when he leads the Qi family.
After all, they were dressed really strangely, and they were not like other locals, so Master Qi had no choice but to take them all the way from the deserted path, just to escape as far as possible before the people at the post station noticed the strangeness.
In the hearts of the Qi family who used to be pampered, the Marquis of Mingyuan was ranked as a first-class marquis, and when the first emperor was there, it was the ultimate glory of the queen's mother's family and the prince's uncle's family.
It's a pity that once they woke up from a dream, the past was like a mirror, and the Qi family would always feel sorry for themselves in the past, but now after exile and running all the way, the humiliation and scolding of the officials, they actually feel that they don't have to be shackled by others, and they don't have to be beaten and scolded in this way are still quite comfortable.
Except for Qi Sanye, who occasionally complained about the accommodation environment and the simplicity of the food, the other Qi family members were all concentrating on hurrying, and they all knew that the farther they fled, the less likely they were to be caught by the court, and the greater the chance of living peacefully.
And on this day, Qi Sanye took the black-faced steamed bun in his hand and complained: "Why do you eat some of this every day, your mouth is light and tasteless, don't you still have some money in your hands, Dad?" I simply took it out and had a good meal, and I also had some strength on my body to be able to travel well. ”
Qi Sanye would complain for a while every day according to the old practice, and everyone was used to his chattering resentment.
Thinking that he was originally in the mansion, Qi Sanye was the son, and the old lady in the mansion loved him very much, and the old lady took care of him several times, but he was always stopped by the old lady in various ways, and once the old lady even begged to go down to the court for the sake of her youngest son.
I really can't disobey my wife, Master Qi has no choice, just come out of sight, I originally thought about the luxury of the Marquis of Mingyuan's mansion, even if it is divided and divided, no matter how the youngest son squanders it, it will be enough for him for a few lifetimes.
But he didn't expect that the Marquis of Mingyuan's mansion would be defeated, but this little son didn't even grow at all, not even as a three-year-old child.
But unexpectedly, today Master Qi listened to Qi Sanye's words, but suddenly got up, snatched the black-faced steamed bun in his hand, and said with hatred:
"When has this been? You still have the heart to complain here!
Now our Qi family is fighting with the court for the first chance of escape, you look at your sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and then look at your wife, even these children.
Who used to live a pampered life, but even they know the urgency of this time, but you only know to complain! It's just pleasure! Don't you have the slightest sense of the big picture?
It is the fault of our parents to raise you to be unsuccessful, and we should have borne the consequences of your unfilial son.
But at this moment, I will not allow anyone to slow down our progress, since you are so dissatisfied, then you will be separated, the world is wide, let you go alone, I only don't have your son, and I don't need you to do the duty of support. ”
After that, Master Qi walked in the direction of Uncle Qi again, and said in a deep voice to him:
"Boss, give thirty percent of the silver I asked you to take out from home to the third child, and then you all testify, and we will split up, and from then on he will have nothing to do with the Qi family."
Qi Sanye didn't expect that his usual complaints would suddenly usher in such a big reaction from his father today, he was a little angry at first, feeling that his father no longer loved him, and then he was deeply frightened.
In the past few days, no matter how hard it is to escape, no matter how humiliated and scolded the servants are, in the end, there is always a father, eldest brother and second brother to deal with him.
But now that he is about to be swept away by his father, where can he run with his ability? It's just mermaid meat.
Thinking of this, Qi Sanye fell to his knees, walked all the way to Master Qi, pulled his clothes and cried bitterly:
"Father, you can't do without a son, the son is your son, the son you have always loved the most, and ......"
During the pleading, Qi Sanye's eyes swept to the Qi family who gathered together to eat in a hurry, only to see that Uncle Qi originally wanted to say a few words, but was grabbed by Mrs. Qi's arm, and she pointed to the hungry yellow-faced and skinny children next to her.
They used to be the young lady of the Marquis of Mingyuan's mansion, who were raised pampered since childhood, but they fled along the way, and even these children knew the truth and did not complain at all.
Qi Sanye is such a big person, but he chatters all day long, and almost delays the pace of escape several times, and Mrs. Qi has already endured enough of him.
It's just that now that her father is in charge, she doesn't dare to say anything, and now that her father is clear, she will never allow her husband to intercede for this unsuccessful little uncle.
The choice between a child and a brother? Uncle Qi froze slightly, but the way he gobbled up his own child, he not only felt slightly sour in his heart.
Facing Qi Sanye's gaze for help, Uncle Qi slowly lowered his head and didn't hear it.
Qi Erye said a few words, the Li family and the Yao family have always been friends, and the relationship between the two is like sisters, if Qi Sanye separates, then wouldn't the Yao family also have to rush with this unreliable little uncle.
After so many years of getting along, how can the Li family be willing to give it up?
So while she motioned for Second Master Qi to speak, she remembered the importance that Master Qi attached to Qi Zhenzhen these days, and also considered it and said:
"Father, the third master is indeed a little unsuccessful, but the third brother and daughter-in-law have always been gentle and virtuous, and Zhen Zhen is also extremely smart, if she hadn't seen the difference in food during this escape, how could we escape safely.
So even for this, I think I should take Zhen Zhen and them with me. Moreover, the person in charge of the West Hammer at this time was the father of the third brother and sister, the old department of Dingguo Gong, and there was always a friendship or two. ”
Hearing Li's words, Mrs. Qi originally wanted to refute, but remembering that Qi Zhenzhen had indeed helped them several times, she struggled for a while, but still didn't speak again.
Mrs. Qi is not an unreasonable person, she is also the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, otherwise she would not have been hired to be a clan wife in the prosperous Mingyuan Marquis Mansion.
It's just that at this time, once in trouble, no one in her mother's family took care of her, she was already cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and she didn't see any family affection very lightly, and she just wanted to protect her children to live safely.
Even if there is no longer the ultimate luxury of the original Hou Mansion, sometimes the days are as plain as water.
But Qi Sanye is always picky, she is really annoyed by this little uncle, or she will rectify it fiercely, so that he will have no time to be a demon again, otherwise he will simply part ways, it is better than taking such a drag.
Hearing what Li said, Master Qi's eyebrows were relaxed, and he pulled away from Third Master Qi's pull, and said lightly:
"Even if you don't say it, I will take Zhen Zhen away, but the third child can never stay anymore, he himself has never liked Yao and Zhen Zhen, so let him and the two concubines separate."
Hearing that the Yao family could be with them, the Li family was overjoyed, she was also quite tired of Qi Sanye, and she only knew how to spoil the concubine and kill his wife all day long, and she had no ability.
If he was still the third master of the Marquis Mansion of Mingyuan, at least he had some status and so on, but now he is just a white body, but he still can't recognize the form, then it is not just a stupid word that can be summed up.
Li was silent, Yao was about to speak at this time, but was pulled by Qi Zhenzhen, Yao turned around, but saw Qi Zhenzhen with tears in her eyes, and shook her head slightly.
Qi Zhenzhen knew that Master Qi would not split up at this time, and he would not leave Third Master Qi empty, but now it was just to make him frightened and be more obedient.
Otherwise, according to Qi Sanye's lazy and hedonistic nature, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will be discovered by the searching officials, and if he can't stand the punishment and confesses the way for them to move forward, and then he is hindered by the customs and cards, then it will not be so easy to go to the west again.
They are now taking a path that is unexpected, contrary to the other.
Now the new emperor wants to deal with them, but they escaped by luck, and now they are afraid that they are looking for people everywhere, but they should only think that the Qi people will go to the old place of the old Qi master who has been sorted out in advance, but they did not expect that they will take the initiative to go to the West Hammer, which no one can imagine.
Therefore, it is possible to divide the family and divide the property and go to the side, but definitely not at this moment, at least until it is absolutely safe.
The Yao family is obviously beautiful and gentle, but the third master of Qi does not know how to cherish it, and when it is safe, Qi Zhenzhen will work hard to promote the Yao family to reconcile.
Even if you live alone and don't marry, it's better than such a husband.
