When the soldiers brought the water, Ah Wei thanked her, turned her head and ordered: "Shadow, clean all the water utensils on the table, fill the water with water, and prepare for the guests to wash their hands." ”

Ying frowned when he heard this, but now there were no servants, so he had to follow it. However, there are still some grievances in my heart, after all, teenagers of the same age will always compare with each other. Therefore, Ying doesn't like Qi Wen, which is very reasonable.

He was instructed by the girl to do this and that, but Qi Wen had to sit opposite the girl and was treated politely. Those who took the initiative to approach the girl were not good people, neither was Qi Wen, who took the initiative to visit, nor was Lu Jing, who asked the girl for dried fish.

How can his girl be extra smart when she is smart, and she can be so stupid when she is stupid that it gives people a headache? At this moment, if Ying knew that his senior servant Meng Weng had the same feelings for Ah Wei, he was afraid that he would be a confidant.

Ying was called out by Ah Wei to give Lu Jing dried fish, and when he went out, he met Qi Wen, who came to visit as promised.

Qi Wen said hello, but Ying only turned a blind eye and walked sideways with him. Qi Wen touched his nose in embarrassment, and sure enough, the rumored weird guy even had such a strange temper as the attendant. Yes, after this day and a night's work, the sociable Qi Wen has become familiar with various rumors of Ah Wei in Zhiyang Palace.

After washing her hands, Qi Wen saw three plates of preserved fruits and a plate of dried fish on the table, and looked up in surprise. He thought he had offended Ah Yao, but he didn't expect the other party to treat him politely?

Although this number of gifts is not complete, but what is the situation on the ship now, Qi Wen knows it in his heart. Ah Wei did this, which is her greatest sincerity.

It was he who hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The girl's gift is worthy of it." Yesterday was abrupt, and I looked at the girl Haihan. ”

Qi Wen's style is undoubtedly full of hypocrisy and politeness in Ah Wei's eyes. She can only imply that this is Brother's friend, and he may have the truth about Brother's death.

After repeating this, Ah Wei suppressed her anger and patiently said to her: "You are too polite, let's treat yesterday's incident as if nothing happened." Come, taste. This small dried fish was bought at the market yesterday, and it is very fresh. ”

Seeing this, Qi Wen, who had not had breakfast, was no longer polite, and after tasting the things on the table one by one, he gave up his hand and said, "Thank you girl for your hospitality." ”

Ah Wei smiled, and then said, "I heard from you yesterday that you have a friend who is from Liangcheng. I don't know this friend of yours, but you met on the ship before?"

Qi Wen hurriedly replied: "Don't hide it from the girl, that's exactly the case." ”

Ah Wei understood it in her heart and continued: "Actually, nine years ago, someone in my family was also drafted on the ship, but I don't know if it's your friend. ”

Qi Wen felt in his heart, and always felt that Ah Wei's words were sure that he knew, and hurriedly said: "Dare to ask the name and surname of your relatives?"

Ah Wei glanced at Qi Wen meaningfully, and said a name softly: "Ji An." ”

As soon as the word Ji An came out, Qi Wen was immediately stunned, such a coincidence? What he wanted to inquire about was A'an's family, and A'an's family happened to sit opposite him? Can you think of the treatment of this girl all the way, and what you saw yesterday, such a generous nobleman is A'an's family? Thinking of A'an's seemingly cold, but in fact, he chattered a lot, how could he not be associated with this rumored mysterious and noble stranger.

When Ah Wan saw his reaction, she knew that he was an insider. So he said directly: "If you want to inquire about my family, I can tell you, but in exchange, you have to tell me everything about my brother's ship, especially the cause of his death." ”

Qi Wen looked at this extraordinarily calm girl, and said incredulously, "Are you talking to me about conditions?" and then frowned and continued to ask, "Do you call Ah An a brother?

"Why can't it be brother and sister?" Ah Wei took a piece of preserved fruit and put it in her mouth, and said after eating, "Brother and you are friends, but you and I are not." In my opinion, it is most appropriate for you and me to exchange information. ”

Qi Wen was choked, and then laughed angrily: "I didn't know that A'an had such a sister as you." ”

Ah Wan competed with each other: "I didn't expect Brother Ah to have such a friend as you." ”

Qi Wen took a deep breath and thought to himself, sure enough, his Confucian sages were right, only women and villains are difficult to raise.

He arched his hand and said, "I can prove that I am A'an's friend, so how do you prove that you are A'an's sister?"

Seeing that Qi Wen bit the word "parent", Ah Wei immediately mocked: "Is there anyone who has to recognize a dead man as his brother in order to climb relatives?"

Qi Wen was not used to Ah Wei's ridicule and rhetoric for a while, and was immediately stunned. came back to his senses, and was helpless for Ah Wei's disrespectful words. In the end, Qi Wen was defeated first, after all, although Ah Wei's words were disrespectful, he really couldn't refute it. Qi Wen could only comfort himself, this aunt directly said Ji An's name at the beginning, that is, it was not his sister, but I was afraid that she also knew him. Giving A'an's relics to her like this is not a disappointment to her friend's trust.

Thinking like this, Qi Wen took out a sachet from his arms, handed it to Ah Wei and said, "This is A'an's relic, he entrusted me before he died, and asked me to pass it on to his family for him." ”

Ah Wei only glanced at Qi Wen's hand, and immediately wet her eyes, she took it with trembling hands, and then choked up: "This, this is embroidered by my aunt herself." ”

Seeing Ah Wei like this, Qi Wen had to believe that this Ah Wei was really Ah An's sister. However, the treatment of the two is like a difference on the ship, can they really be brothers and sisters? Slowly, he seems to have missed a very important thing, if Ah An and Ah Wan are really brothers and sisters, then his brothers and sisters have been recruited on the ship, wouldn't his family be particularly sad?

It was he who finally frowned and asked, "How are Ling Zun and Ling Tang right now?"

Hearing him ask, Ah Wei shifted her attention away from the sachet. Seeing that Qi Baba was waiting for an answer, he could only smile bitterly: "Last summer, my mother suddenly had a heart attack, and my father recalled that his wife and children were separated, and after arranging his mother's funeral, he also killed himself. ”

Qi Wen heard the words "his wife is scattered", and then he thought that his family was ruined. Thinking that A'an's parents were gone, and he saw his sister on the boat, who else could he have in the family?

Ah Wei nodded.

Qi Wen suddenly stood up and said incredulously: "Are you still in the mourning period?"

Ah Wei nodded: "Your Majesty won't let me go home for the funeral, because I can only serve and guard filial piety in the residence." Before leaving, he recalled that the decrepit clothes were too conspicuous and his mobility was inconvenient, so after thinking about it again, he came up with the idea of replacing it with white plain clothes. ”

Qi Wen was suddenly speechless.

Lonely mourners are not allowed to go home to mourn, which is unheard of. When she heard the news at that time, how sad and indignant should she have been? Ah An's sister, what is so special about her, that Your Majesty has to persecute her like this? Since ancient times, there have been things that have taken away affection, but it is simply a strange thing to do such a thing against humanity when it comes to winning love from a girl.

He couldn't help but wet his eyes, and then asked, "Then do you know why His Majesty doesn't allow you to go back to keep filial piety?"
