After returning from Su Qinlan, Qi Mingle looked restless, and the lotus and silver spikes who were watching were also uneasy.

Caihe secretly asked Yinsui: "What's wrong with the young lady?" ”

Silver Spike shook her head, she didn't know either.

Cai He whispered, "Why don't you ask?" ”

Yinsui is Qi Mingle's maid of marriage, Qi Mingle's affection with her is far deeper than with her, if you want to come to Yinsui to ask, Qi Mingle should be willing to tell her.

"Okay, I'll ask." Silver Spike answered, and then lifted the curtain and went in.

Qi Mingle in the house felt that his head was as big as a fight. Now that her father and brother are at the border, she doesn't even have anyone to talk to. When Qi Mingle was anxious, Yin Sui came in and asked, "Miss, is something wrong?" ”

Nothing is wrong! Something is wrong!!

Qi Mingle stood up suddenly, but she couldn't open her mouth when she met Shang Yinsui's concerned eyes. Zhang Yuanxiu can't do this, everyone who can't get it knows it.

And this is just her guess, in case Yuan Xiu drags the house unround, there is a third possibility!

Qi Mingle thought about it, suppressed the clutter in his heart, and then said to Yinsui: "You go to He Xiao, just say that I want to see him, the sooner the better." ”

Men's affairs, you have to find a man to ask, Qi Mingle wants to go to He Xiao to find out first, in case He Xiao can give her a different answer!

Yinsui saw that Qi Mingle said urgently, so he went even away.

And not long after Yinsui left, Zhang Yunyu also came. Qi Mingle took out his knife box and handed it to Zhang Yunyu, said, "Look at it yourself", and then sat aside absentmindedly.

Zhang Yuanyu opened the box excitedly and saw a double-edged knife lying inside. It is more than three feet wide, and the blade is sharp and cold.

Zhang Yuanyu's eyes lit up instantly, and he subconsciously wanted to take out the knife to take a closer look, but when his hand was halfway out, he suddenly retracted and turned his head to ask Qi Mingle: "Sister-in-law, can I take it out and take a look?" ”

"Yes." Qi Ming was happy to respond.

Zhang Yuanyu carefully took out the knife, held it in the palm of his hand and tried the feel, and did a few more sweeping and chopping movements, the double-edged knife made a buzzing sound, and it was a good knife at a glance.

"This knife turned out to be made by Duan Jiazhuang?" Zhang Yuanyu saw the mark of Duanjiazhuang on the handle of the knife.

Qi Mingle came back to his senses at this time, and a touch of surprise slipped through his eyes: "You actually know Duanjiazhuang?" ”

Duanjiazhuang's knife-making skills are a must, but because the people in Duanjiazhuang are low-key, and they are close to Litang Pass, so there are very few people in the entire Jiang country who know Duanjiazhuang, Qi Mingle didn't expect that Zhang Yuanyu would be able to recognize Duanjiazhuang's imprint.

"I usually have nothing to do, so I like to read some miscellaneous books and travelogues," Zhang Yuanyu scratched his head embarrassedly, "I have seen the imprint of Duanjiazhuang in my travelogue." ”

Qi Mingle nodded, and then asked, "Who taught your martial arts?" ”

"When I was in Linjiang, there was a master who taught me for a year, but then the master returned to his hometown, and before leaving, the master left me a sword book, and then I practiced according to it."

I see! Qi Mingle finally understood why when Zhang Yuanyu made a move yesterday, she always felt that some of Zhang Yuanyu's body skills were a little strange, and he actually practiced it himself according to the sword book. However, after studying martial arts for a year, he has been able to practice according to the sword spectrum to this point, and Zhang Yuanyu is quite talented in learning martial arts.

It's just that Qi Mingle didn't understand: "Then why don't you invite a master anymore?" ”

"I want to follow the same career path as my eldest brother." Zhang Yuanyu said so, but his eyes were glued to Qi Mingle's double-edged knife, and it could be seen that he couldn't put it down.

Qi Mingle thought for a while and said, "If you like Duanjiazhuang's weapons, you go back and draw the style of the weapons you like, and I'll give it to my father when I go back, and ask him to ask Duanzhuang to make a worthy weapon for you." ”

"Is that okay?!" Zhang Yuanyu was immediately flattered. As far as he knew, Duan Jiazhuang had rarely made swords and weapons for people in recent years.

"Yes, my father has some friendship with the owner of Duanjiazhuang, and it shouldn't be a big problem for him to come forward."

"Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you, sister-in-law." Although Zhang Yuanyu likes martial arts, but over the years, he has secretly collected martial arts to practice, neither a master to teach, nor a competent weapon, and now Qi Mingle said that he would ask the owner of Duan Zhuang to build weapons for him, which was a big surprise for Zhang Yuanyu.

Qi Ming was happy to see Zhang Yuanyu happy, so he simply did it to the end: "If you don't understand anything in the future, or don't know, you can also come and ask me." ”

Zhang Yuanyu is quite talented in martial arts, and Qi Mingle doesn't want him to take more detours, so he wants to help him.

Qi Mingle was willing to teach him, Zhang Yuanyu couldn't ask for it, and even if he tried to thank Qi Mingle. While they were talking, Yin Sui hurriedly opened the curtain and came in: "Young lady......"

As soon as he opened his mouth and saw that Zhang Yuanyu was also there, Yinsui instantly paused again.

Zhang Yuanyu knew that they had something to say, so he put the double-edged knife back in the box and handed it to Qi Mingle, then got up and left with a happy face.

"How? What did He Xiao say over there? As soon as Zhang Yuanyu walked on the front foot, Qi Mingle asked anxiously on the back foot.

"He Xiaohou said that tomorrow he is going to the Ye Yuan Judgment Mansion, so I will ask the young lady to meet you there."

It's okay to be in the Ye Yuan Judgment Mansion, if Zhang Yuanxiu really can't do it, she can also ask Ye Hao and them again to see if there is a way to heal.

That night, Zhang Yuanxiu sent Fengmo over to pass the word: "Gongzi said that he was infected with a cold, and he inevitably passed his illness to the young lady, and he rested in the study tonight." ”

Zhang Yuanxiu was really infected with the cold, but this matter fell on Qi Mingle's ears, but it was Zhang Yuanxiu's excuse to cover up his inadequacy.

Qi Mingle didn't debunk it, but only explained: "Since this is the case, then let Lang Jun drink the medicine well, but don't hide the illness and avoid the doctor." In the last sentence, Qi Mingle said it very seriously.

So after going back, Feng Mo relayed Qi Mingle's words to Zhang Yuanxiu word for word, especially the last sentence. After finishing speaking, Feng Mo didn't forget to praise: "Our young lady is really a caring person who knows cold and hot!" ”

Zhang Yuanxiu glanced at Fengmo coolly.

What a caring person who knows cold and hot! If she hadn't rolled up his quilt last night, he wouldn't have caught the cold today.

Seeing that Zhang Yuanxiu's expression was wrong, Xi Yan hurriedly blasted his mouthy brother out.

On the second day, after breakfast, Qi Mingle took Yinsui to the Yeyuan Judgment Mansion.

On the day that Ye Hao was sentenced by the Ye Court to take her back to the Ye family, Xie Shenshuang went to the Ye family to propose marriage, and I heard that the marriage date of the two of them was set for the eighteenth day of the first month of the next year, and now it is the lunar month, and the Ye family is intensively preparing for Ye Hao's marriage.

When Qi Mingle arrived at Ye Hao's courtyard, Ye Hao was tying his arms and drying medicinal herbs in the courtyard. Qi Mingle walked over to her and quipped: "Now the entire Ye family is preparing for your marriage, but you are hiding in the courtyard." ”

"I can't help if I want to." Qi Mingle put a drying basket on the shelf, Qi Mingle walked over quickly, and raised his hand to help her.

After putting the basket away, Ye Hao wiped the sweat on her forehead and asked Qi Mingle, "Why do you have time to come to me today?" ”

"I was bored in the house, so I thought I would come here to see if there was anything I could do to help, but I think Mrs. Ye has arranged everything properly."

While they were talking, Broken Branches came in from outside: "Miss, Master He is here." ”

He Xiao?! How could he suddenly come to her?! Ye Hao was stunned, and then heard Qi Mingle whisper: "I asked him to come, I have something to ask him." ”

Now that she is married, if she and He Xiao make an appointment to meet outside, she may fall into the hands of others. Ye Hao nodded, and asked the broken branch to please quickly.

After a while, He Xiao, who was wearing a purple crown and a crane, came in from outside.

"Ahem, ahem—"

Qi Mingle was choked by the tea in an instant, and she glared at He Xiao angrily: "He Xiao, are you beating a bear?" "Really, a big man, dressed thicker than both of them.

"Master, I haven't gone out at this point, I'm really freezing to death!" While talking, He Xiao entered the pavilion, sat down on the side, and said to Ye Hao with a smile, "Doctor Ye, can you give me a cup of hot tea." ”

Ye Hao knew that the two of them had something to say, so she went to make tea for He Xiao in person.

Seeing that Ye Hao had walked away, and He Xiao was still looking at the direction in which she was leaving, Qi Mingle raised his hand and waved in front of him: "Okay, don't look at it, it's not yours to look at people again." ”

Although He Xiao is a prodigal person who is always in shape, he knows how to do things. In the past, when he was happy with Ye Hao, he had no face or skin to stick to Ye Hao. Now that Ye Hao and Xie Shenshuang are married, although he still has no shape, but in front of Ye Hao, he has not made any more moves by Meng Lang.

"Use you to remind me?!" He Xiao turned his head and glared at Qi Mingle viciously, "If you have something, just say it, master, I'm still waiting to go back to the house and sleep in the cage!" ”

"Sleep again! He Xiao, are you weak? Why don't you let Vera take your pulse? ”

As soon as Qi Mingle's words came out, even if He Xiaodang was about to get up and leave, Qi Mingle grabbed his sleeve: "Okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it, I really have something to do with you." ”

He Xiao glanced at Qi Mingle, then hummed and sat down again.

Knowing that the two of them should have something to say, Ye Hao took the maids in the courtyard away, only Lan Li and Yinsui stood far away under the corridor, Qi Mingle measured the distance and made sure that they couldn't hear what they were talking about, so he lowered his voice and spoke.

"He Xiao, what reason would you say a man would delay having sex with his wife for a long time?!"

"Smack-"

The orange in He Xiao's hand fell to the ground.

He looked at Qi Mingle in disbelief: "Isn't it?" You and Zhang Yuanxiu haven't had a round house yet? "Counting it, they have been married for more than half a month.

“！！！” Qi Mingle was angry and angry, picked up an orange and threw it at He Xiao, "What are you barking at?!" It's not me and Zhang Yuanxiu!! By the end of this sentence, Qi Mingle was obviously lacking in confidence.

"Who's that?!" He Xiao hugged the orange with both hands, and looked like he wanted to break the casserole and ask to the end.

"That's not the point! You answer my question first. ”

"What else is there to ask?" He Xiao didn't care, and said, "There are three possibilities. First, he didn't like his wife. Second, he likes men. Thirdly, he can't! ”

Qi Mingle analyzed the three possibilities He Xiao said one by one.

Although they were married by the order of their parents, and they had no feelings before marriage, she asked Zhang Yuanxiu yesterday, and Zhang Yuanxiu said that he was willing to marry her. Since he was willing to marry her, the first possibility was ruled out.

As for the second type, it is even more unlikely that Zhang Yuanxiu likes men.

According to Father Qi's temper, I am afraid that before they got married, he had already investigated Zhang Yuanxiu in private, and if Zhang Yuanxiu liked men, he would definitely not be able to hide this matter from him.

Then there is only the third possibility left - Zhang Yuanxiu can't. Because no, his backyard was clean.

And the reason why Daddy Qi chose Zhang Yuanxiu as his son-in-law, in addition to his talent and appearance, and his warm temperament, is because Zhang Yuanxiu has no Yingying Yanyan in his backyard.

If Daddy Qi knew about this, how could he accept it?!

But that's all for later, and there is still a problem at the moment. Qi Mingle asked: "If the wife you marry can't give birth, will you divorce her?" The premise is that she is gentle and virtuous, and has a good temper, in addition to not being able to give birth, she is also very good to you in all aspects. Would you divorce her because she couldn't have children? ”

"No, I can take a concubine and let the concubine give birth."

Qi Mingle resisted the urge to buckle the whole plate of oranges to He Xiao's face, and asked, "Then what if you can't take a concubine?" ”

"If you can't take a concubine, then take a break, you know, I am the third generation of our family, and my family has a title to inherit."

Qi Mingle endured it again: "Then what if there is no title inheritance?" ”

"If you don't have a knighthood, then let's talk about it." He Xiao didn't want to go back to Qi Mingle's hypothetical question, he leaned over and asked in a low voice, "So, are you going to take a break from Zhang Yuanxiu?" ”

"I ......" Qi Mingle just started talking, and suddenly reacted again, this is a trap, she immediately buckled the oranges on the table with the plate to He Xiao's face, and dropped a sentence angrily, "Eat your oranges!" Then he turned and strode away.

He Xiao's angry voice suddenly came from the pavilion: "Qi Mingle! You woman who crossed the river and demolished the bridge! You wait, I'll go out and tell someone later, your Zhang Yuanxiu ......"

Before he could say the two words, He Xiao felt a chill in his neck.

He looked down and saw a cold dagger against his neck. Even more chilling than the dagger was Qi Mingle's voice: "I said it all!" It's not Zhang Yuanxiu!! Can't you understand people? ”

"You can understand it, you can understand it, if you say no, it's not, auntie, you take the dagger away, I'm afraid!" In this case, He Xiao didn't dare to provoke Qi Mingle, and hurriedly obeyed her wishes.

Qi Mingle stepped on the stone bench, leaned over and patted He Xiao's face with a knife, squinted his eyes and said, "If I hear rumors of a smoky miasma outside, whether it is you or not, I will count it on your head." When the time comes, you will wait for your He family to die. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." He Xiao clutched his life, nodded like pounding garlic, and Qi Mingle put away the knife and left.

After talking to He Xiao, Qi Mingle felt that she needed to think about it again, and after she and Zhang Yuanxiu repaired, she said goodbye to Ye Hao and returned to Zhang's house.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Qi Mingle couldn't come up with a reason, and finally she simply said: "Silver Spike, grind." ”

Qi Mingle decided to tell Daddy Qi about this, and see how Daddy Qi replied.
