Chapter 125 New Year in the Qi Mansion ([-])

People's memory is really strange. Gu Xiyan thought of this event that had a great impact on the Duke of Yan's mansion afterwards but felt a little vague and unreal, like a dream.If she had to find one thing that left her the deepest memory, it would be Wei Shiying's azure gauze pleated skirt that was torn apart by Qi Yuzhi. When she saw Ye Zisu for the first time, Ye Zisu was wearing such a dress, shining cocooning light in the secluded room... As for other things, it was the same as the situation at that time, and she was a little confused in her mind.

On New Year's Eve, the men of the Qi family participated in the ancestor worship ceremony on the roof, while the women of the Qi family waited on the second floor for the grand banquet after the men worshiped the ancestors.

There are very complicated ceremonies during the ancestor worship, and the time is relatively long. It is difficult for the female relatives to sit there for several hours.At this time, they would meet in twos and threes and talk together.Speaking of which, the Qi family is the same as all big families. After the father dies, the sons will divide under the auspices of the patriarch.Most of these female relatives live in separate mansions with their husbands, and they are all presiding over the Zhongfu in the mansion. They are usually very busy, and they can only gather together at this time of the year.Among them, Qi Maosheng's fifth aunt Cui Shi and Qi Maosheng's lobby sister-in-law Cui Shi are different from other uncles and aunts. They all came from the Cui family in Jiufeng, Guanwai County, and they are about the same age. The fifth aunt Cui lived in Yongzhou, and the sister-in-law Cui lived in the Northwest camp because her husband joined the army, so she followed her husband and was stationed in Yanzhou all the year round. It was rare for everyone to have this reunion. Get together and say some private words.

While talking, he mentioned the deceased Mrs. Ye.

When Mrs. Ye passed away, Xiao Cui was not in Yongzhou, and last year he did not come back for the New Year because the child was young.Looking at this year's colorful days and thinking of Mrs. Ye's gentle temperament, the two of them couldn't help sighing with emotion. Mrs. Cui wanted to take this opportunity to go to the place where Mrs. Ye lived to express her condolences.Because it was the New Year's Eve, it was not easy to make an appointment with other people, so the two of them each took a few girls and women to Dexin Courtyard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he heard a voice shouting "Help" inside.

Both of them are people who have been there, and when they heard the voice, they knew something was wrong.

At that time, the two didn't think much about it.

The Qi family has a big business, and there are not a few guys with bad conduct.

The Cui family in Guanwai County was originally a sworn brother of the ancestors of the Qi family, and they intermarried with the Qi family from generation to generation.

Immediately, the two of them became very angry, thinking it was some young servant who came to Mrs. Yan's house to persecute Mrs. Yan during this New Year's Eve.

So Mrs. Da Cui kicked open the door of Dexin Courtyard and opened the curtain of the room...

But why did Wei Shiying appear there?

According to the servants who served on the first floor of the banquet, Miss Wei was dissatisfied with the seating arrangements for several of her people, so she asked Nanny Cai to argue.At that time, Mammy Cai was leading people to search for an ice crystal glazed plum blossom dish that was used to serve family portrait dishes. When she saw Miss Wei angrily approached her to argue, she first accompanied her with a smile, and then she couldn't find the dish. I was also a little annoyed, so I said impatiently, "There is only a cousin surnamed Xu in our house. Where is there a cousin surnamed Wei, the girl must have said the wrong thing."

Madam Cai's words were also right.

The three aunts and six relatives of the aunts are not considered serious relatives.

But Mrs. Wei is different.

The Wei family is not only one of the few wealthy families in Yandi, but her biological son Qi Hao is also the Duke of Yan who has inherited the title.

Even if some people in the mansion think so, no one dares to say so.

Wei Shiying didn't expect Nanny Cai to say such a thing, and was choked there for a while, and the nuns in charge all made friends with Nanny Cai, and everyone laughed.Wei Shiying couldn't hold back anymore, and ran out shyly and angrily, and Shuang He chased out of the hall.

Many people present watched the audience.

Shuang He chased all the way out, and saw Wei Shiying ran into an uninhabited forest, laying down on the tree trunk and crying, and was about to go up to persuade her, but when she looked up, she saw a figure of a tall and frivolous man flashing in. In the side yard.She screamed in fright at that time, ran to Wei Shiying's side, pulled her sleeves and cried, "There are villains, there are villains." Tell me what you saw.After hearing this, Wei Shiying was stunned for a while, and said: "This is the backyard of the Duke of Yan's mansion. There are no villains here! Let's go and have a look!" Shuanghe was afraid and refused to go, so Wei Shiying said: " If this is the case, then go and call for someone, so as not to have any unscrupulous people rush in." Seeing that this place is very remote, Shuanghe proposed to call for people with Wei Shiying, but Wei Shiying disagreed, and said, "I Going now, those nuns are going to laugh at me again", Shuanghe couldn't handle Wei Shiying, so he had to rush to Yu Nian Pavilion to find Miss Liu...

Qi Yuzhi, who has replaced Qi Hao in handling the daily affairs of the Duke of Yan's mansion for more than half a year, although he is still childish, his ability and diligence have won unanimous praise from everyone in Yandi, so it is possible for him to represent Qi Hao The decision to host the festival.

Mrs. Xu was very happy to see that her grandson was promising, she prepared his clothes for the ceremony early on, and she also made an agreement with Qi Yuzhi to let him come to Xianji Courtyard to freshen and change, and the two went to Yu Nian Pavilion together.

After Qi Yuzhi arrived at the Xianji Courtyard to freshen up, he said he was going to see Qi Hongluan.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu personally sent him out with a smile on her face.

When it was time to light the lanterns, Qi Yuzhi never came back, so he sent someone to Qiaoyuan where Qi Hongluan lived to call for someone, but the people in Qiaoyuan said, "The young master has already left." The grandma, mistress, and young mistress have all arrived and are waiting for Madam", Madam Xu had no choice but to send someone to find Qi Yuzhi while rushing to Yu Nian Pavilion.

Before she entered the door, she saw people standing in twos and threes in front of Yu Nian Pavilion, and everyone was discussing there.

"That's right, something like this happened on the day of ancestor worship!"

"The Duke is still alive and dead in Lingzhou!"

"I heard that the girl's face looks exactly like Mrs. Ye's, and she is still in Mrs. Ye's original small bedroom!"

"Usually, the young master is not such a person!"

Mrs. Xu, who survived the brutal struggle in the inner courtyard, immediately understood when she heard this.She didn't even enter the Yu Nian Pavilion, so she turned directly to the Dexin Courtyard, but just happened to meet the two Cui families who were in a panic.

The grandson I brought up with one hand, a heroic and handsome young man, although he didn't marry a wife, he was not a womanizer, so why did he suddenly change?What's more, in the eyes of Mrs. Xu, her grandson is noble and good-looking, and there is no other woman she wants. Does Fan have to force a woman of low status?If it wasn't for taking the wrong medicine or being framed, what kind of explanation could there be!
So she immediately asked Qi Yuzhi: "Which lowly maid lured you here?"

Qi Yuzhi, the perpetrator of all the incidents, acted as if he had been frightened. No matter what you asked, he would not speak. He was really anxious to ask, so he just said a word with tears in his eyes: "It's my fault, and I am willing to bear all the responsibilities." .”

Mrs. Xu glanced at Wei Shiying who was huddled in the corner of the bed with dull eyes, feeling great hatred in her heart.

The second sentence is: "Go, tell Huaiyuan, after all, she is her niece and niece!"

The longer the delay, the more unfavorable Qi Yuzhi will be.

Mrs. Xu understands, and of course Mrs. Wei understands, and Mrs. Xu understands that Mrs. Wei understands.

So, while waiting for Mrs. Wei to come, she asked someone to keep the big and small Cui family, and asked someone to find Shuang He, Cai Mama and a few people she trusted, and began to ask the source.

The more she asked, the more headache she got.

Everything is so coincidental, but coincidentally so reasonable.

The biggest loophole is that the two Cui families haven't left the Dexin Courtyard yet, so why is there already a lot of rumors in the Yu Nian Pavilion.

But if the investigation is not continued, after today the matter will be even less clear, and Qi Yuzhi will be charged with this crime; but if the investigation continues, the relatives and elders in Yu Nian Pavilion are bound to be alarmed. If the result is unsatisfactory, then Qi Yuzhi's life ruined.

But Qi Yuzhi didn't say anything.

Although Mrs. Xu has tried her best to deal with it, but Qi Yuzhi's absence, Mrs. Xu's diversion, the disappearance of Cui's family and the servants' servants are summoned frequently... It seems that things have grown wings, and they spread throughout Yu Nian Pavilion irresistibly. , Spread to all relatives of the Qi family.

Qi Maosheng's enthusiastic fourth grandfather couldn't sit still, and called Qi Maosheng's third uncle to Dexin Yuan to ask why.

Amid internal and external troubles, Mrs. Xu could only keep a smile on her face: "It's a misunderstanding. When Mrs. Wei comes, we will report to all uncles and brothers when we make it clear."

And Mrs. Wei is much more positive than Mrs. Xu predicted.

Although she didn't come herself, she sent her personal maid, Bao Niang, over.

Bao Niang looked solemn, and brought three things to Wei Shiying.

"Madam said, the Wei family's etiquette has been passed down from generation to generation, and the century-old reputation should not be ruined because of you. Let the girl choose one, and I will serve you on the road."

Looking at the glowing red lacquer plate, Wei Shiying seemed to come back to his senses at this moment.

Trembling, she slowly crawled out from the corner of the bed, and slowly picked up the teacup in Bao Niang's tray, with tears in her eyes, tremblingly said: "Tell my aunt that I am sorry for her. After I die, I beg her to look at my father and bury me next to the Wei family ancestor's grave, and I will be satisfied."

The corners of Baoniang's eyes were red, and she smiled sadly: "Miss Wei, madam, there is no other way, otherwise, I can't explain to the Xu family. If you want to complain, you can blame your life for being too miserable!"

Wei Shiying's face was pale, he closed his eyes, his long eyelashes formed a faint shadow on his eyelids, he gently brought the glass of wine to his mouth, and drank it...

"No, no, no." Qi Yuzhi rushed forward suddenly, Wei Shiying's hand holding the wine trembled, half of the wine in the glass spilled out, and half went into his mouth.

"Aunt Bao, Aunt Bao, go and tell Madam Wei, I am willing to marry Miss Wei, I am willing to marry Miss Wei, I am willing to marry her!"

Before Qi Yuzhi's words fell, Mrs. Xu slapped her mouth.

"I've already made an appointment at Fang's house, how do you tell me to explain to Lord Hou when the time comes!"

Qi Yuzhi's eyes were red, and the veins on his neck were bulging, and he yelled loudly: "I'll marry both, I'll marry both, it's okay, it's okay!"
