"Qi Chang coaxed her around. She knew that he wanted the money to support his wife, but she still gave it to him."
"In addition to these shops, there are also some jewelry properties, nothing is left. Before she died, her grandfather said he would take her home, but she refused. She had to die next to Qi Chang... ha."
After Qi Ye finished speaking, he laughed with unknown meaning.
Ji Shu was a little speechless and twirled her fingertips in confusion. She originally wanted to make Qi Ye happy, but unfortunately it seemed to be self-defeating.
"Why are you keeping your head down?"
Qi Ye looked at her, pulled her to him, rubbed her head, and asked with a smile.
Ji Shu was annoyed, and took advantage of the opportunity to gently push his palm, rub it, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I wanted to make you happy."
"It's all old history, it's long gone. But if I had known you liked doing business, I would have taken this shop back back then."
Qi Ye: "Thanks to you, otherwise these shops would have closed seven years ago."
"oh."
Ji Shu drooped his eyelids and responded feebly.
Qi Ye's eyes flashed lightly, he raised his hand and pressed the back of her neck, forcing her to raise her head, leaned forward, and asked with a low smile:
"Want to make me happy?"
Ji Shu nodded seriously. Although she was forgiven for concealing her identity, she still hoped to coax Qi Ye more.
Qi Ye leaned over and took her lips in his. During the kiss, Ji Shu heard him say in a hoarse voice:
"Then make peace with Li quickly and let Qi Chengxu get away as far as he can."
Ji Shu put her arms around his neck, pressed her head against his forehead, and said softly: "General, wait for me soon. I also want to see the betrothal gift prepared by the general..."
"Bring Heli Shu and exchange the gift list with me."
"General, do you really dare to send the betrothal gift to me?"
Ji Shu raised her eyes and looked at him. Qi Ye's eyes were serious, and his deep and steady voice could calm all the uneasiness in Ji Shu's heart.
"As long as you are willing."
Both of them knew that even if Ji Shu reconciled, the past six years of her marriage to Qi Chengxu could not be erased. If Qi Ye wanted to marry her openly, the two of them would inevitably be burdened with rumors.
Qi Ye is not afraid of gossip, but he does not intend to force Ji Shu to bear the burden with him. If she has concerns, Qi Ye also has a way to solve them. As long as the two of them are together, it doesn't matter whether they tell the world...
"I want everyone in the world to know that the general is mine."
Qi Ye's eyes turned red and he kissed her lips, but if it could be done openly, who would want to hide it!
In Changle Courtyard, Ji Shu and Qi Yeer were affectionate and affectionate, but they didn't know that some people in the house were so busy that they couldn't live in peace.
Furong Hall
The time for the Guozixue examination was coming soon. Because Wu Dinghou had meritorious service during his inspection and Qi Ye returned to the capital, the emperor did not embarrass Qi Chengxu any more. Thinking of the merits of previous generations of Wudinghou, he gave Qi Chengxu an official title, and soon he went to work at the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Once the official position was established, it was natural that there would be no need to take the exam. Li asked Qi Chengxu to pay more attention to Qi Jinxing's studies.
She said with a sour tone: "The teacher Ji Shu invited has no discernment. He keeps saying that Brother Yuan is a good young man, but Brother Xing won't even mention it! Bah! It must have been Ji's instruction from him. What's not to say? The bias is still the bias, don’t be stupid and listen to her in everything, now take your time and take a closer look at Brother Xing’s schoolwork!”
"Perhaps she did something that caused misunderstanding. This is not good. I told her to change it. Don't say it."
Qi Chengxu furrowed his brows and felt displeased. Ji Shu had found him as the teacher. Li's speculation was not impossible. He had to talk to Ji Shu about it.
The two of them were just talking and didn't see Qi Jinxing glance at the textbook in Qi Chengxu's hand in panic.
Qi Chengxu flipped through two articles and threw them on the table unbearably, "Qi Jinxing, what's the matter with you! You just wrote this piece of policy nonsense, and the notes are all nonsense! And what are you doing with your calligraphy?" ! Are you going to take the Guoxue exam with this attitude? Do you think it is a private school? Anyone can get in as long as they write down their name!"
"Wow - grandma -"
"Hey, my dear grandson, don't cry. Your father is trying to scare you." Mrs. Li glanced at Qi Chengxu and said, "Speak carefully."
"At this age, I cry all the time! Why don't you learn from your brother?"
Qi Chengxu said angrily: "I think either the master is not good, or he himself is not good! If this is the case, it is better not to take the exam, so as not to embarrass himself in front of the great Confucian scholars from Guozi School."
"How can that be done! Ji Qianyuan is going too! All his adopted sons are going, and brother Xing is the eldest grandson of the Hou family!"
Mrs. Li pressed Qi Jinxing's shoulder and became serious.
"Brother Xing, you can't do this anymore! You have to show your real skills! If you let your brother fight for the upper hand, everything will be his in the future! The Hou Mansion belongs to him! He is just your mother's adopted son, he Not worthy! You have to push him down, you know!"
Qi Jinxing couldn't hear what he was saying. He nodded vaguely, feeling panicked and running out of ideas.
Qi Chengxu waved his hands helplessly, "That's all. Anyway, there are still a few days left, and if his foundation is not bad, he can still make it in time. In addition to reading these days, you also need to practice calligraphy! Otherwise, people will not want to read the content after looking at your page. "
After Qi Chengxu left, Qi Jinxing wrote calligraphy in Li's room. When the golden crows began to sink outside, Chun's mother entered the room.
"Madam, our yard has prepared dinner for Brother Xing."
"Then go back and eat."
"Grandma, can I practice calligraphy in my room tomorrow?" Qi Chengxu put down his pen and ran to Mrs. Li to act coquettishly.
"What? Don't want to stay with grandma?"
"...Dad said I can't do it. I want to work hard to show him!"
"Okay, my dear grandson has ambitions, so you can't play by yourself in the room. You have to practice calligraphy. Mother Chun, you have to bring me a copybook every night."
Chun's mother responded and led Qi Jinxing out of Furong Hall, turned out of the corridor, and walked to the west wing.
Jiang Fu was already leaning against the door and looking forward to it. When Qi Jinxing saw her, he rushed over, "Auntie!"
He didn't dare to call mother directly outside. Jiang Fu's eyes were red and she carried Qi Jin into the house. Yun He stepped forward and gave Chun's mother a few pieces of silver.
After the food was laid out in the room, Jiang Fu carried him to the table and asked him, "Brother, how are you doing these days?" while picking up the food for him.
"Oh, no, no, no!"
Qi Jinxing burst into tears and accused Ji Shu of adopting an older brother for him, "Even my master said that my older brother is more promising than me. My father told me to ask my older brother to take the Guozixue exam, but he refused to let me take the exam. My grandmother said that from now on I will be my elder brother in everything." Yes, the Hou Mansion also belongs to my brother!"
"What!"
Jiang Fu dropped her chopsticks and was angry and angry. Qi Jinxing looked at her hopefully, "Mom, go talk to dad and send your brother away, okay? Daddy listens to mom the most."
"..."
Jiang Fu was so embarrassed that she gave Qi Jinxing a chopstick dish and coaxed:
"Brother, be good, that child is just adopted. Everything in the Hou Mansion will be yours from now on, as long as you work hard to get into the Chinese Academy of Sciences! Eat quickly, and after you finish eating, my mother will watch you study!"
In the middle of the night, after sending Qi Jinxing away, Jiang Fu paced back and forth in the house, feeling cruel.
Yun He carried the washbasin into the house. When he looked up, he was so frightened that he dropped the washbasin to the ground.
She rushed forward and hugged Jiang Fu's legs, crying: "Miss, what are you doing! Don't do anything stupid! Come down quickly!"
The servants were running in the corridor and woke up most of the people in the Hou Mansion:
"Someone, come quickly - Grandma Sangu has hanged herself!"
-
There will be more updates tomorrow. I have been out of shape for the past two days, so I bow and thank you for the updates.
