A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 101 Brother
"The recent turmoil is because of me again?"

When Qi Wenyan said this, his tone was more determined than questioning.

even--

It was very different from his usual style, with a bit of obvious banter and sarcasm.

However, Qi Wenjing's face once again showed the embarrassment that he had seen a few days ago, and he categorically denied: "It's because I have no way to teach my son, and it's not just a matter of one or two days that this family doesn't stop, it's my problem and has nothing to do with you. "

"Is it nothing to do with me?" Qi Wenyan looked sideways.

The sarcasm between the eyebrows became more and more obvious.

Qi Wenjing looked at him.

The vivid emotions in the eyes of the two brothers faded silently and slowly, until finally, each fell silent tacitly.

In the end, Qi Wenjing didn't pick up his words and chose to remain silent.

Qi Wenyan also looked away again.

He looked at the large garden with unique and beautiful scenery in front of him.

The two stood under the corridor, out of sunlight.

There are guests at the house today, and at the other end of the garden, a group of girls are playing and fluttering butterflies.

The laughter and laughter were carried by the wind from a long distance, but it seemed to come from another world different from theirs, which seemed so abrupt and out of place.

After a long time, Qi Wenyan broke the silence and spoke again.

"Brother Xu, do you want to become an official?" He asked Qi Wenjing, his tone was indifferent, and it was his usual indifference that he didn't show much emotion with anyone. Starting from the bottom, it doesn’t matter whether you are a scholar or a Jinshi, there is not much difference between them. No matter how good he is, he is your eldest son after all, whether he is sent abroad or in Beijing, it is not a problem to arrange him to fill in the vacancy.”

If Qi Huan was present at this moment, he would be greatly surprised.

In this mansion, the third master Qi that everyone is afraid of, the master Shaoqing of Dali Temple who is said to be so cruel that he is almost denied by his relatives, and this third uncle of hers who can never enter the house three times...

To think that one day she would take the initiative to invite Ying, trying to use her personal relationship to find a job for her father's unfilial son? !

It's not just Qi Huan, the conversation between the two of his brothers, no matter if it falls into the ears of any third party, that person will definitely feel that he is hallucinating!

But Qi Wenjing didn't look surprised.

He just looked at the profile of his third brother, and smiled wryly: "On the cusp of this storm..."

Of course it is to be rejected!
But Qi Wenyan chuckled and interrupted him: "It doesn't matter to me anyway. If I don't disturb him, he won't be more pleasing to my eyes."

What he said was malicious no matter how he heard it.

"You..." Qi Wenjing frowned, his lips twitched as he wanted to say something, but looking at his cold and hard side profile, he felt a deep powerlessness.

In the end, he just sighed: "Forget it. Brother Xu's temperament is not stable now, even if you arrange an errand for him, he may not be able to do it, and your reputation will not be good even if it is broken by then. Tell him to calm down Calm down, temper your temper, and study for two more years before it's too late."

Qi Wenjing has been caught in the middle all these years, trying his best to reconcile his relationship with his family knowing that there is nothing he can do, how can Qi Wenyan not understand this?

Although in his opinion, this is a very ridiculous idea and action.

but--

It is not known whether he would still be alive without this elder brother back then.

He couldn't agree with Qi Wenjing's so-called filial piety, his weakness and avoidance when encountering problems, but...

He will choose respect.

Now, of course, he also understands that Qi Wenjing's refusal of his help largely just did not want to aggravate the conflict between him and Qi Zhengyu, as well as the resentment towards each other.

Even if—

Up to now, the so-called "protection" and "maintenance" that his elder brother gave him are no more than a joke.

but--

He still chooses to appreciate it.

"Okay." Qi Wenyan didn't bother, and ended the conversation concisely, "If necessary, brother, please let me know at any time, and I will take care of it."

"Yeah." Qi Wenjing nodded stiffly in response.

At this time, Qi Wenyan had turned around and raised his eyebrows to look behind him.

The other party's expression was leisurely, without malice.

Qi Wenjing didn't become more vigilant, he just followed his line of sight suspiciously and turned around, and saw Mother Liu anxiously looking forward to the entrance of the corridor near the gate.

Obviously, she wanted to come over, but because she saw her two brothers talking about things here, she didn't dare to disturb her.

It was at this time that Qi Wenjing lowered his head in a daze, only to see that his youngest son had run over at some point, and was now rubbing against his side, using his body as a cover, and poking half of his head to peek. Qi Wenyan.

Qi Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief, pulled him out, and pushed him a step forward: "Why didn't you say hello to Third Uncle when you came here?"

Qi Yuanchen is still a small one, with big and bright eyes, but his personality seems to be a little shy and he doesn't like to talk much.

He was a child, small, and light on his feet.

Qi Wenjing didn't notice him coming, in fact, Qi Wenyan spotted him as soon as he ran into the corridor.

It’s just that this little thing is very interesting. It was obviously looking for the two brothers to run over, but when they got close and found them talking, they didn’t come up to disturb them directly. It was only when he turned to look at him that the little thing timidly stuck behind Qi Wenjing.

"Third Uncle..." Qi Yuanchen wasn't too shy when he was pushed out, so he twitched a little more, buried his head in finding another candy from his purse, spread out his small palm and handed it to him: "I'll eat it for you." sugar."

The little child's voice is soft and waxy, which invisibly makes people's hearts soften a little along with it.

Qi Wenyan patted his head, and his attitude was rare and gentle: "Third Uncle doesn't like candy, you eat it yourself."

He is indeed not a very qualified elder, after dealing with Qi Yuanchen for a while, he talked to Qi Wenjing again: "Last time I met my sister-in-law taking brother Chen to the street, this child has a gentle temperament, and seems to be more like a brother. "

Qi Wenjing looked down at the young boy with candy stuffed in his mouth and a round bump on one cheek, but he didn't arouse the pride that belonged to his father in his expression.

After a while, Youyou sighed: "I wish he could be like his mother."

Qi Wenyan doesn't know how to comfort people.

Although he understood Qi Wenjing's real thoughts and concerns very well.

but--

As indifferent as he is, he can't say anything.

The atmosphere in front of him was inexplicably awkward for a moment.

"The banquet will start soon, don't wander around in the garden, where's your mother?" Qi Wenjing also knew his difficulty, and then changed the subject.

He turned his head and called Liu's mother over: "Is Madam not free today? Take him to Sister Huan."

"I don't." But he didn't want to, but the son who was still very well-behaved suddenly lost his temper: "Sister's place is full of aunts, aunts, aunts, sisters-in-law and older sisters. I don't stay with them."

For a child of his age, he would always eat with the family members.

What's more, Qi Wenjing is the host of the wedding today, he is too busy entertaining guests, how can he have time to take care of the children?
Mother Liu understood and came up to take him away.

Qi Yuanchen quickly dodged, and took advantage of the situation to hug Qi Wenyan's thigh, "I don't want to go find sister, I'll follow third uncle!"

My third master was really not approachable enough. Mother Liu didn't dare to approach him within three steps with her hand outstretched, so she froze and didn't dare to move.

Qi Wenjing understands the temperament of his third brother better.

Although there is affection between their brothers, it is not easy for him to trouble Qi Wenyan to bring him a son.

Just as she was about to tell Mother Liu to take her fussy son away forcibly, Qi Wenyan actually bent over and picked up the child.

His expression was still dull: "Brother, go and do your work. I'll take him to the men's table."

After finishing speaking, he hugged Qi Yuanchen and left.

Mother Liu complained incessantly——

She is really afraid of this third master, and she doesn't follow him now, and she doesn't follow her if she doesn't.

Qi Wenjing was obviously surprised for a moment, but then his mood instantly brightened by three points. Seeing that Mama Liu was still standing there with a bitter face, he told her: "Let him go with the third master, and wait until we are gone." Xi, I will send him back."

"Yes..." Mother Liu agreed, and she was relieved.

Qi Huan had just found this corridor at this moment, when Mother Liu saw her, she hurried up to meet her and explained the situation to her.

Although in Qi Huan's concept, people like Qi Wenyan probably wouldn't be able to bring up children, but considering that this is in his own courtyard, and Qi Wenyan is a meticulous person, at least nothing will happen to Qi Yuanchen following him.

If he really couldn't take care of him later, he would naturally send the child back to the backyard, so she didn't continue to look for it.

"Then let's go back. There are a lot of things today. Go to mother's place to see if there is anyone who needs help." She took mother Liu and returned to Qixia Garden the same way.

Qi Wenjing followed closely behind, also came down from the corridor, and returned to the front yard to continue welcoming guests.

As soon as he stopped at the door again, he saw the chariots and horses from Wu Chenghou's mansion arriving.

Qi Wenjing originally thought that at most his family would be Pang's coming to show off, but he didn't want to personally escort the car to be Xiaohou Ye Qin Song.

In addition to Mrs. Wu Chenghou Pang, who got off the carriage, there was also a young and beautiful Qin Ying.

Today's wedding banquet is divided between men and women.

The female guest seats are in the Qixia Garden, while the male guest seats are directly in the front yard.

Qi Wenjing was already planning to send his maid to lead Mrs. Wu Chenghou to the backyard——

Seeing Qin Song, he hastened to welcome him out the door.

"It's just a wedding banquet for Quanzi. I didn't expect the young master to come in person. I'm not far away."

The relationship between the two families is somewhat delicate now after all. Although Qin Song visited the house last time and spoke politely, Qi Wenjing did not dare to call him elder at this moment, and still greeted him cautiously.

Qin Song saw it in his eyes, and didn't say anything intentionally, but casually greeted him: "This Marquis came uninvited, the Elder Son shouldn't mind, right?"

He came a step late, although Qi Huan's back was recognized at a glance in the corridor where people were coming and going, but the girl walked so fast that she turned a corner and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Qin Song didn't know why he was going to stare at her, even if he was a step too late, he felt inexplicably annoyed.

Qi Wenjing accompanied him politely: "Where is it... There will be a banquet inside soon, come, please invite the young master to the table."

There was no smile on Qin Song's face, but he was still saying the routine: "Then bother the family."

Because only Qi Wenjing, a concubine, got married, and the old master Qi Zhengyu was annoyed with their father and son, the banquet today was indeed not a big one, and Qin Song was considered one of the most distinguished guests.

Qi Wenjingshun took the guide boy and ordered: "Lead Wu Chenghou to the third master's table."

Qin Song had already prepared an excuse to send his mother and younger sister to the backyard for a walk, but when he heard that Mr. Qi, who was notoriously difficult to get along with, came back for a wedding banquet, he changed his mind and followed directly to the banquet.

The butler sent another maid to lead the way for Pang's mother and daughter, and sent them to Qixia Garden for a seat.

Here in the capital, there is a custom of holding a wedding banquet in the man’s house of a big family. The wedding banquet is divided into the first half and the second half. It happened to be a way to digest food while watching the ceremony, and then re-enter the table after the newcomers finished worshiping, and continue to eat the second half of the table.

Therefore, even though Qi Yuanxu hadn't come back yet when he went to pick up his relatives, considering the time, the banquet would indeed be held soon.

In the back house, Mrs. Yang was too busy to touch the ground.

Originally, Qi Huan was a girl in her boudoir, so she could hide away and play with the girls of relatives and friends, but she really didn't want to see Mrs. Yang busy there, but she was eating and drinking beside her, so she tried her best to entertain Mrs. Yang. guest.

Seeing the Qin family's two mothers and daughters arriving, she took the initiative to greet her: "Mrs. Hou is here, and my mother is busy at her place. You two, follow me to the table."

Qin Ying felt a little vengeful because of that visit to the lakeside, so she let out a cold snort, and ran into the garden to play with Qi Wenjing's daughter Gao Yunmiao.

Mrs. Wu Chenghou now feels embarrassed every time she sees Qi Huan, but this girl has a thick skin, and she doesn't realize it at all.

Mrs. Wu Chenghou looked at the frank and happy smiling face of the girl in front of her, and felt an indescribable uncomfortable feeling in her heart, so she could barely cope with it and smiled: "Okay."

Qi Huan could somewhat understand her mood, and he didn't take the initiative to get close to her. He arranged seats for their mother and daughter and walked away.

Then, when the banquet started, there was an episode——

Originally, the Qi family did not plan for Qin Ying to come. Now that she has come, in order not to disrupt the original arrangement, it is customary to add a chair for her next to Mrs. Wu Chenghou.

However, this girl seemed to be on good terms with Gao Yunmiao, so she insisted on going to Gao Yunmiao's table.

At that table, Yang originally arranged for Qi Huan to sit with a group of girls from his own family and relatives, and the line was full.

As soon as she squeezed there, she took the seat originally reserved for Qi Huan.

And Qi Xin from the second room seemed to be very close to Gao Yunmiao, so he pretended not to see it at this moment.

A group of girls sat together and talked and laughed like nothing happened, but the atmosphere had changed invisibly...

Gao Yunmiao, Qi Xin, Qi Yunge, Qin Ying, and even the two sisters of the Ling family who had married Qin Ying were all vaguely waiting to see a joke.

In addition, there were a few people including Qi Changge, who probably felt that no acquaintances would be uncomfortable sitting at other tables, and they all had their own thoughts and no one offered a seat.

How could Qi Huan not feel such an obvious squeeze.

But she was too lazy to argue with a group of little girls such meaningless minds, so she just told Qi Xin decisively: "Then let the third sister take care of this table."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Qi Xin's willingness or not, she went to the first table inside and acted like a baby to Yang Shi: "Mother, let me sit at your place."

This table is also full of their own female relatives.

Everyone has long been used to Yang's pampering her daughter. At first, they thought it was Qi Huan's arrogance, but after looking at the girls' table outside, they probably understood.

It was obviously a banquet set up by the family, but her daughter was so crowded that she didn't even have a table to sit on?
Yang's complexion was a bit ugly at that time.

Qi Huan knew that she was angry, but he really felt that there was no need to make a fuss over this matter, so he pretended to be coquettish and flirted with her: "Brother Chen has gone to the front yard to find his father, I want to sit with my mother."

This table is full of elders, in fact, it is not suitable for her to sit here.

Yang didn't look at other people's faces, and immediately asked someone to move a chair over, and then took her daughter's hand and said with a smile: "This table is all your elders, I'm afraid you won't be able to talk to us, and sitting here will be boring."

"Then I'll just eat." Qi Huan continued to coax her with jokes.

Knowing that it was her daughter telling her to calm down, Yang also held back her temper and didn't attack again.

At Cen's place, he lowered his head and picked up the vegetables in silence.

In normal times, she might have to blame her daughter for being ignorant at this time, but now that the relationship between the two rooms has deteriorated, she is still angry and has no place to get angry, and she is also turning a blind eye to it.

On the contrary, Qi Wenjing, the eldest aunt sitting opposite Yang, stared at Qi Huan, the "strange" niece, several times with interest.

The first half of the table was successfully eaten, and the overall atmosphere was good, and then the sound of firecrackers in the front yard rang out at an auspicious time.

Everyone got up and followed Mrs. Yang to the Xitang in the front yard to watch the couple worship the heaven and the earth.

Qi Huan mixed in the crowd and saw Qi Yuanchen nervously tugging on Qi Wenyan's robe outside the crowd, not leaving every step, for fear of being scattered by the crowd.

Qi Wenyan obviously came back to support his brother's appearance, and was not interested in watching the ceremony.

But noticing that Qi Yuanchen never dared to leave him, he reluctantly picked up the child and stood behind the guests.

He belonged to the kind of person who was born tall and tall, and Qi Yuanchen could see the scene of the innermost newcomer worshiping heaven and earth while sitting in his arms, grinning happily.

It was obviously a very warm scene, but Qi Huan felt that the scene was incongruous no matter how he looked at it.

Looking at the cold face of my third uncle, I have to praise her little brother for saying that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!

She stared at Qi Wenyan, uncle and nephew watching the excitement, while Qin Song sat alone in the gazebo in an inconspicuous corner of the yard, watching with cold eyes, but he also treated her as the excitement.

Although the wedding in the Marquis of Changning was held by a family with their own thoughts, the scene was well done, and the wedding hall was still full of excitement and joy.

Afterwards, a group of young princes headed by Gao Yunze from General's Mansion and Qi Yuanming from his own family even made a fuss and gathered the newcomers into the bridal chamber together.

Because it was a big house for a wedding, although the space in the second courtyard was spacious enough, it was not decent to use it as a new house to welcome new people, so Yang asked someone to temporarily arrange Xia Yuexuan for Qi Yuanxu and his wife to stay overnight.

A group of young princes and girls all followed along to join in the fun, Qi Huan was at the end, and when they were all gone, he walked towards the backyard unhurriedly.

After entering Qixia Garden, he walked in the direction of Xia Yuexuan.

only--

She took only two paths and stopped behind an archway.

This place is some distance away from both the new house and the banquet, so it's rare to find a quiet place in the midst of the noise, and even contrasted by the sound of firecrackers in the front yard, it's a bit deserted and scary.

Qi Huan stood on the sunny side of the arch, leaning against the door and basking in the sun comfortably with closed eyes.

After a while, there were footsteps approaching quickly from the other side of the arch.

She didn't move for a while, until the person came through the arch, and she saw the back and identified the person, and then suddenly called out to the person: "Second brother, please stay!"

Qi Yuanming acted absent-mindedly for a long time. He was already a little impetuous, and he didn't expect that there would be someone hiding behind this door to wait for him in the quiet surroundings. He was shocked immediately.

His eyes turned cold, and he turned hastily.

Seeing that it was Qi Huan, the chill in his eyes dissipated, but his alertness remained undiminished.

Then, a smile hung on the corner of his lips: "I was just wondering why I didn't see you alone in Xia Yuexuan, why are you here?"

It was at this time that Qi Huan stood up straight in a calm manner, walked over, and asked with a smile: "So, did the second elder brother come back to find me on purpose?"

Her smile was quite beautiful at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it seemed a bit of a smirk.

Qi Yuanming became more and more vigilant, so he remained silent for a while.

Qi Huan continued to laugh and said, "It doesn't matter if it's not, anyway, I'm here to wait for you on purpose, it doesn't matter whoever takes the initiative."

　Your favorite third master is here, and Qin Xiaohou has also shown his face. Is the role of the son still far away?

　　Well, the author tells you seriously, this scene without him...

　　After all, the little dude is in the favor of the second brother, and he is here to see the "future sister-in-law". Who can the prince look at╭(╯^╰)╮
