"Greetings to the old lady, madam, and Master Hou." Qi Xinrui stepped forward to salute generously, and the old lady Xu grabbed her and said, "Good boy, get up quickly, I don't need to pay attention to these empty etiquette, you How is your sister doing now?"

After hearing this, Qi Xinrui's eyes were slightly red, and she glanced at Zhao Jing again, only to reply: "Elder Sister has been feeling better these days, can eat some soup, and has been taking medicine. Doctor Du said, The residual poison has entered the muscles and bones, and it will take some time to recuperate, and I am afraid that I will be inseparable from the medicine jar for a year or so."

At this time, they greeted them and said: "Don't look at the main house that has not been painted, old lady, the people who live in the back The place has been painted with fresh paint, and we can move in and live in it in a few days."

Mrs. Xu sat down in the living room, and after a while the servant girl brought tea over, Zhao Jing smiled and said to Zhang Yongshun's family: "You lead Miss Qi, and your brothers and sisters to look around, Miss Qi is afraid I still remember this place, my brothers and sisters may not have seen it before."

After hearing this, Qi Xinrui turned her head to Qi Jiahui and said, "I'll take you to see where your parents used to live, okay?"

Although this place is not as grand as the carved beams and painted buildings of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, there is a kind of kindness in this old and simple atmosphere, which makes the two children can't help but want to Watch for a while, stay for a while.

"Auntie, after a while, you and your eldest aunt are going to move back?" Qi Jiahui asked with blinking eyes, "Then can I also live back?"

After living in the Hou Mansion for so many years, if you leave as soon as you say it, won't the old lady be sad?"

The old lady Xu kept nodding her head, and said with a smile: "Listen, your aunt is the one who understands the truth and is a little bit different. She just wants to come back and live. What a heartless little person!"

After hearing this, Qi Jiahui only stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to speak again, but Qi Jiabao over there said: "The old ancestor is not willing now, but will always be willing in the future. When I am older and can make contributions, naturally I will Those who came back to Qi's house to support the lintel."

Although there were no outsiders in the hall, Xu Si'an was a little embarrassed to be laughed at in front of so many people.But the old lady didn't think so, he didn't care what Xu Si'an's status was, in her eyes he was his son.

Zhao Jing raised her head and glanced at Xu Si'an, her wheat-colored cheeks were slightly flushed by the sun, she stood up, took his hand slightly and said: "It's also the first time I've come to Qi's house, show me around see?"

Xu Si'an knew that Zhao Jing was helping her out, so she nodded and led her outside.The back garden of the Qi family is not big, but the scenery is beautiful. There is a lake beach in the middle, and rockery and strange rocks are piled up along the wall on the side, stretching all the way to the pavilion in the lake.

Xu Si'an took Zhao Jing's hand and came to the pavilion, looked around, but felt a little sigh in his heart, lowered his eyebrows and said: "I was supposed to be the vanguard in that battle back then, but I happened to be slightly injured in the middle of the pavilion. My brother-in-law went for training in the army, but I didn't expect..."

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Jing, but there seemed to be some sparkle in his black eyes, Zhao Jing's slender fingertips gently rubbed Xu Si'an's palm, holding his thick palm and said: "Hou Lord, it's not your fault, they will all grow up happily and worry-free, I assure you."
