A group of people hurriedly helped her out. Qi Chengxu ignored Li and looked at Ji Shu and asked, "Shu'er, do you want to think about this again?"
"The Marquis's birthday is coming soon, and I don't want to embarrass the Second Master. It would be better for everyone if we do it as soon as possible."
Qi Chengxu gritted his teeth, rolled up his sleeves and walked out of Baoxia.
An's three people looked at each other. Ji Shu glanced at them and said with a smile: "There are still a few empty upper rooms in the west courtyard. I have asked people to clean them up. Second Aunt will wait here and someone will come to greet you. Mr. Marquis There are still some issues with the birthday arrangements that I need to deal with, so I can’t accompany you here.”
"Okay, okay, let's go."
An stretched her neck to watch Ji Shu leave, then turned around and slapped Qi Yaoyao, "You are so mouthy! You are really going to make things worse for the big house. Look how your father will deal with you!"
"How did I know that Ji Shu had such a bad temper right now? The second brother also created other children for her to raise... I didn't mean it."
Qi Yaoyao curled her lips in grievance, and Qi Zhiyan smiled carelessly, "What are you doing, little sister? Is it possible that Ji Shu can run away when Yuji's house is there? And it was Qi Chengxu who did it all. He couldn't coax Ji Shu." Is this weird, sister?"
Anshi looked helplessly at the pair of children, waved her hands and said nothing.
It wouldn't hurt her to have a chaotic big house. The Li family and Qi Chengxu were getting better and better, and they might get annoyed by Wu Dinghou at some point. The wealth and wealth of this title would be on top of her son's head! She will never leave if she doesn't get Jue back this time!
An: "Yaoyao, when will your mother-in-law and the others arrive in the capital?"
"They want to take the old princess to take a detour to Qingzhou. They will be a few days later than us, but they will definitely arrive before uncle's birthday. I also want to invite them to the banquet."
Qi Yaoyao's husband's family is said to have great reputation, and it is the palace of Prince Qianxi, the vassal king of Jiangzhou. However, Qi Yaoyao's husband is not the son of Prince Qianxi, but the grandson of Prince Qianxi.
King Qianxi was a romantic young man and had countless peach blossom debts. His first wife, the princess, had already died of depression due to his anger. The current old princess is an outlaw who was supported by him. Perhaps because he committed too many sins when he was young, Prince Qianxi did not have a good heir and grew up. The eldest son is almost dead, and the old son is only ten years old this year.
Qi Yaoyao's mother-in-law had a son, Xie Renfei, whose surname was the King of Qianxi. The King of Qianxi valued this grandson very much. It was said that he would pass over his own son and give the throne to his grandson. That's why Qi Yaoyao and the second wife were so proud. They brought Qi Yaoyao back to show off deliberately. , but it’s a pity that I haven’t opened my mouth yet.
Anshi smiled and said, "It's really interesting. Why does the old princess have to go to Qingzhou several times every year? Is Qingzhou so good?"
"I heard my mother-in-law mention it. It seemed like she was looking for someone..."
Before Qi Yaoyao finished speaking, a maid came out of Baoxia and invited them to the west courtyard.
After the conversation was divided, Ms. Li quickly woke up. Her first reaction was to find her close mother and ask, "Is Mrs. Ji still making trouble?"
Mother Yu didn't dare to look at her, "Second Master has just gone to the clan to talk about this, and has crossed out Brother Xing'er and Sister Bao's name from the young lady's side..."
Ms. Li was stunned for a few seconds, slapping her knees and crying loudly, "This bastard! How could he listen! He became a concubine just after being named a legitimate daughter! How can I, my brother, be subjected to such injustice! Oh my! ! Where’s Qi Yaoyao! I’ll tear her mouth apart and let her talk nonsense again!”
Yu's mother hurriedly pulled her and comforted her: "Madam! Madam! Let's stop making trouble now. Brother Xing's incident has just happened a few days ago, and the Marquis is in a rage. It's useless to make trouble! Anyway, he's already gone. Don’t rush it!”
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Madam, don't be afraid! Brother Xing is so smart, I think he is much more lovable than Brother Yuan! When Brother Xing is out of confinement, you can teach him well and let him spend more time with Young Madam and get close to her. If you get close to me, the young lady’s heart will soften and she will naturally relent.”
Mrs. Li took the tea from her mother and said with a grimace: "That's all! Then damn it, what are you doing with the second bedroom back? You don't think the Marquis Mansion is chaotic enough!"
"Madam, I don't understand. Didn't you have a headache before? The hole in the Hou's Mansion is too big to be filled in! It's just an opportunity for the second wife to come back! She doesn't know the situation in the house. Let's throw the right cards to her and let her She will have a headache! It will also save you, madam, money."
"...That's quite a statement."
Mrs. Li gritted her teeth, "I'm afraid that bitch will get the power of the family and show off in front of me again!"
"The second master is not here, and the second wife will be subordinate no matter what. Why should the wife be afraid of her? If she dares to wear small shoes for the wife, the wife will go to the marquis to make trouble. The second wife is married, and she will not dare to show off if no one supports her. Fight with the madam!"
Mrs. Li felt comfortable and pinched a handful of silver melon seeds and gave them to her mother.
The second room went back to the house and there was a family banquet to be held at the Hou's house in the evening. Xitao changed Ji Shu's clothes and planned to go with her, but she refused.
"Qingtan hasn't been around these days, have you been practicing martial arts?" Ji Shu asked.
Xitao had a bitter look on her face, "How can I dare to delay this slave? Qingtan said that I will take the test when I come back. If I don't pass, I will have to take additional training! Miss didn't realize that my arms have become fleshy these days!"
She raised her arms and showed Ji Shu the bulging piece of flesh in an aggrieved manner.
Ji Shu laughed as he touched it, "That's right, keep practicing, until you can hit someone with one punch and make a black eye!"
"Why does the young lady want my slave to practice martial arts?"
"...There are many evil people in this world, and it won't hurt if you know how to do it. When I leave, you will be in the courtyard and tidy up the house when you have nothing to do."
Ji Shu brought two other maids to the banquet, and with Marquis Wu Ding at the table, An became more at ease and stopped looking for trouble. He answered whatever Marquis Wu Ding asked.
"Why did Yaoyao come back with you? King Qianxi didn't say anything?"
An: "Brother, I don't know, Mrs. She is very attached to that place, so Mrs. Xie took the old princess to Qingzhou Mansion first and will not come back for two days. Yaoyao said that they should also come to my eldest brother's birthday."
"That's a real honor."
"Zhi Yan is also following Yaoyao's husband Ren Fei to do some small business in Jiangzhou. Many of my outfits were given to me by Zhi Yan. Zhi Yan also prepared a gift for you, eldest brother."
Mr. An winked at Qi Zhiyan, and he immediately handed over the gift. He unfolded it into a fine clay inkstone, which was exquisitely carved and expensive.
Wu Dinghou smiled and accepted.
Li rolled her eyes and said in a sullen tone: "It's better for a man to become an official. Zhi Yan is not young yet, but he doesn't even have the fame of a boy. We really need to hurry up."
Qi Zhiyan raised his hands and said, "Auntie Lao is concerned about me. Now I am under the care of my brother-in-law and I am working as a housekeeper in the palace. The prince said that there is no rush for fame and fame, just take your time. Naturally, I am not as lucky as my second brother. With the support of our ancestors, we can only rely on ourselves.”
Li family, Qi Chengxu: "..."
An: "By the way, brother, I heard that the eldest young master returned to Beijing and was granted a title of marquis. The emperor has not yet mentioned when he will return. Do you think we should take advantage of this time to quickly arrange a marriage with him? Master You are not young anymore. If you don’t get married, you will be laughed at. I happen to have a girl in my family who is waiting to be married, so I know everything about it!"
Ji Shu's eyes narrowed as he listened to the play.
