Chapter 442: Recognizing relatives (two chapters in one)(1/2)

The prince was the first to leave. As soon as the prince left, the other three princes followed him. After they left, the other guests said goodbye. Hao Chong and the generals under Qi Wei finally waited for the opportunity and lined up to toast. Before Qi Wei returned to the bridal chamber, he asked the kitchen to cook sober soup for him. He drank three bowls in a row and sat in the study for a while until his drunkenness faded and then returned to the bridal chamber.

Qi Wei entered the house and saw that Zhong and Han were both there, so he asked, "Have you used the meal?"

Zhong said with a smile: "The kitchen has brought snacks and white porridge. We have used them with my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law doesn't use them much."

Qi Wei nodded and thanked him, and Zhong took Han and retreated.

Zhong walked to the door and nodded to the mother who was guarding outside. After a while, the maid and the mother came in with a wine.

Li Qiniang subconsciously looked up at Qi Fu and asked, "Can you still drink?"

As soon as Qi Wei entered the room, she smelled the wine. Qi Wei must have drunk a lot.

Qi Wei smiled and said softly: "This is our Hei Liquor, I can drink it."

Li Qiniang looked at Qi Wei. Seeing that his face turned slightly red, but his eyes were not drunk, she felt relieved, took the wine handed over by Qi Wei, and drank it with him.

"Congratulations to the Duke of the Kingdom, Congratulations to the Lady, I wish the Duke of the Kingdom and the Lady of the Kingdom, and the descendants will be endless."

Qi Wei smiled and went to see Li Qiniang. Under the light of the dragon and phoenix candles, Li Qiniang's face was red and even more beautiful.

......

The next morning, Li Qiniang woke up early. When she opened her eyes, she saw a deep and shallow red. In the red tent, there were sachets embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water. Li Qiniang was in a moment of trance. She was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that this was not in Qingping Lane, but this was the Duke's Mansion.

She turned her head to look at the man beside her. This was the first time she saw him so close. The man's eyebrows were stretched and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

He must have had a good dream.

Li Qiniang suddenly remembered all the things she had last night, and her face suddenly became ignited.

When she got married to Yan Zhaoshi, she was only fifteen years old. Her adoptive mother died early. Her sister-in-law was young and had a thin skin. She took her booklet and ran away with a blushing face.

She only looked at the booklet for one page and was so scared that she hid it.

When the wedding night was in the bridal chamber, Yan Zhaoshi saw the collar and golden lock on her neck, and frowned, saying that the red and gold paired with gold were tacky...

It seems that since then, everything has become routine, and every time it is in a hurry, Yan Zhaoshi said that he still has to study at night, and if it weren't for the purpose of continuing the family line, he would even sleep in the study.

Later, she became pregnant, Yan Zhaoshi took over the maid who served him, and since then, he rarely came back to sleep.

Before yesterday, Li Qiniang felt that she was almost a grandmother, and even on a wedding night, she was very calm.

But after last night, Li Qiniang realized that some things and some people are different.

Li Qiniang quickly suppressed countless thoughts that arose in her heart and tried not to recall what happened last night. She silently said: Today I want to recognize my relatives, and Sister Huai has to come over. Facing the relatives of the Qi family, will Sister Huai be embarrassed? And Xiaoman, I don’t know if he has changed his new place and has a good sleep at night...

After finally calming down, Li Qiniang was about to sit up, she stretched out her arm and hugged her: "Don't worry, sleep for a while."

The man's voice was close to his ears, Li Qiniang's ears were tingling and her brain was blank...

By the time Li Qiniang got up and washed up, it was already half an hour later.

Li Qiniang complained while combing her hair: "I want to recognize my relatives today, and I don't know if the relatives have arrived. So many relatives are waiting."

Qi Wei listened to her nagging, and the smile on his lips became deeper and deeper. From now on, he has been criticized by someone.

"The only ones waiting for us to recognize each other are the elder brother and sister-in-law, and two children. Don't worry, they won't wait. They should be using breakfast now."

Li Qiniang was surprised and asked, "Only the eldest brother and sister-in-law? Where are the relatives living in the other yard?"

Qi Wei came over and said with a smile: "Recognize relatives, of course, only close relatives. The only close relatives in our family are the eldest brother's family. Those in the other courtyards are already the fourth generation of the branch sect. What can I recognize if there is any relative who is too far away?"

Li Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief. She heard that there were dozens of mouthfuls there, and she felt it was troublesome, but then she complained again: "My meeting gift is ready, there are so many servings."

Seeing Li Qiniang frowning, Qi Wei couldn't help but want to laugh. This was the first time he saw Li Qiniang's childish expression. His A Qi was really cute.

"Then give me all these gifts, so that you will not waste it, and you will not waste your time."

"Give it to you? That won't work. I have prepared silver notes, each of which has ten taels, and it's three or four hundred taels together. What are you doing with so much money?"

As soon as Li Qiniang finished speaking, Qi Wei laughed. Only then did Li Qiniang realize what she had just said. Her face turned red and she became uncomfortable: "I'm not willing to give it to you, I'm just saying it."

Qi Wei laughed even louder. He walked behind Li Qiniang, hugged her shoulders, and said softly: "When my mother was alive, every time I looked at the account books in the mansion, I would complain to my father, saying that I would spend money so much. My father said that when he was in charge of the family, he would know how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Unfortunately, I am still not good at ordinary affairs for so many years. Fortunately, I have married a wife who can make money. From now on, I just need to be someone who asks for money. Aqi, I can't ask for it."

The two of them were tired for a while, and then Qi Wei called the maid outside to come in and serve.

Yan Xuehuai rarely got up very early. She recognized her relatives today and couldn't sleep in. I heard that many relatives from the Qi family came. If there were those who couldn't speak and were smart, she had to protect Li Qiniang.

She originally wanted to use the eight hundred and eighty-eight sets that Li Qiniang bought for her, but she put them down and took them off. The golden light could blind her eyes.

Forget it, she should keep it safe.

Finally, she inserted two ruby-core crepe palace flowers into her double-snail bun and paired with ruby ​​earrings. She is the kind of hereditary one. The advantages of Yan Zhaoshi and Li Qiniang's faces are reflected on her face. As she grew up day by day, her facial features became more delicate. What is rare is that her skin is very good, white and red, so delicate that she can hardly see her pores.

When I walked out of the house, I saw Zhou Wanqian coming to find her: "Hey, why are you here?"

"Go with you to recognize your relatives. If anyone dares to bully my sister-in-law, I will beat him!" Zhou Wanqian waved his fist.

Yan Xuehuai laughed: "You are accompanying me to recognize my relatives, but you want to beat someone up for my mother. Then you don't care about me. What if someone bullies me?"

Zhou Wanqian spat: "Who is so unlucky to think about it? He wants to bully you."

Yan Xuehuai rolled her eyes. Li Qiniang dared to use a kitchen knife to chop people. Unlike her, she was obviously the delicate little white flower.

However, she noticed Zhou Wanqian's head and face: "Is your head and face new? Why didn't you see you yesterday?"

Zhou Wanqian showed an impatient expression: "It's not my father yet. I have to let me wear this. Look, the bead is trembling and I'm worried that it will fall. If it falls into the bowl during meals, wouldn't it be necessary to look for it in the pit?"

Yan Xuehuai looked at Zhou Wanqian, worried that he would go to the pit to find pearls, and there was no one else except Zhou Da Sisi.

"Uncle didn't tell you how this set of hair came from?" Yan Xuehuai recognized it at a glance. This was the pearly head face she liked for Xu Yang. It turned out that the set of hair was specially inlaid by Mrs. Ruan to give it to Zhou Wanqian.

Zhou Wanqian obviously didn't know anything. She stared at her big almond eyes: "How did it come from? Could it be that he stole it? Oh, I just said, why did he remember to buy me a slaughter? It turned out to be the one he slaughtered. Yan Huaishui, I don't know, I'm so old, this is the first time he bought me jewelry. When I go back, I ask him, what else did he snatch besides this slaughter, hum!"

Yan Xuehuai... The power of heredity is great, but fortunately, the incident of her nephew Xiao uncle did not happen to her.

"This set of hair is beautiful, the beads are flawless, and the style is not available in the capital. You should care more when wearing it, don't really go to the pit to find beads."

Unfortunately, Yan Xuehuai would rather not have the kindness to remind him.

Zhou Wanqian's eyes lit up: "Yan Huaishui, do you think these are all good beads? Haha, it's great. If our Qianweiju can't move around, I will pull off a bead and maybe I can exchange it for two big fat pigs."

Yan Xuehuai...

She patted Zhou Wanqian on the shoulder: "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

"What, Yan Huaishui, what do you mean?"

Yan Xuehuai walked in front and Zhou Wanqian asked behind. The two walked to the front yard one by one. As soon as they walked out of the hanging flower gate, they saw Chai Yan and Lu Jinxing.

"Hey, when did you two come?"

At this time, Tang Long ran over and said, "Young master, the young man is about to report to you. Your Highness Qi and Qi are here."

Yan Xuehuai nodded, looked at Chai Yan and Lu Jinxing, who were covered in glamor, and asked, "Are you two going on a blind date?"

Lu Jinxing hid behind the fan and laughed secretly. Chai Yan hurriedly said, "I will accompany you to the Duke's Mansion. I heard that the Qi family has a bunch of so-called relatives. Don't worry, with this highness present, they dare not make things difficult for you even if they eat Xiong Xinbao's gall."

Yan Xue was relieved by old age and wanted to say that she was a young man, and she was thinking about her everywhere, unlike Zhou Da Si.

Lu Jinxing couldn't help it anymore. He said to Yan Xuehuai: "Actually, I know no one dares to provoke Miss Yan, but the Seventh Prince was worried and wanted to come whatever he said."

Chai Yan finally looked at Lu Jinxing and finally could speak.

Yan Xuehuai waved his hand and said to Chai Yan: "Thank you, but you shouldn't go. Today's protagonists are the Duke and my mother. If you go, everyone will salute you. A good meeting of recognition will become a recognition of you."

Lu Jinxing smiled so hard that his shoulders were twitching. Chai Yan felt a little aggrieved: "But I don't want to worry about you, and Xiaoman, the child is meticulous and easily hurt."

Yan Xuehuai shook her head: "No, you can't go."

Chai Yan approached Yan Xuehuai and begged in a low voice: "Take me there, I will stay in the yard, if I don't go in, this is OK."

Yan Xuehuai was soft-hearted. Forget it, who made that pitiful little face so popular?

"Okay, you can go, but you can't go with me to recognize your relatives."

Chai Yan was immediately happy. If he didn't let him recognize his relatives today, he wouldn't recognize him. Next year, he would accompany his coriander and recognize his relatives all.

The four people arrived at the Duke's Mansion, but found that there were no cars and horses in front of the Duke's Mansion. When the door saw Yan Xuehuai, he quickly saluted: "Little Feng Bao, I have seen the big girl."

Yan Xuehuai took a Feng Hong to him and asked, "Have you all the relatives arrived?"

Feng Bao hurriedly said, "The master and the eldest wife have been living in the mansion. They should be waiting for the eldest girl now."

Yan Xuehuai knew who the master and wife were in the door, so she asked curiously: "Where are the relatives living in the other yard? Are they here?"

Menzi was stunned: "Relatives in the other yard? No, no other relatives came here today."

This time it was Yan Xuehuai's turn to be stunned. Didn't the relatives of the Qi clan come here?

When they saw Qi Wei and Li Qiniang, Yan Xuehuai finally confirmed that the people from the Qi clan had indeed not come.

Although she didn't know why those people didn't come, she saw calmness and joy on Li Qiniang's face. Yan Xuehuai was relieved. As long as Li Qiniang didn't feel uncomfortable, it means that she knew the reason.

Because the population in the family is too simple, Qi Mao and his wife are peers. Although Qi Mao is the eldest brother, the four words "the eldest brother is a father" are not applicable here, after all, just separated from the head of the house.

In addition to shoes, Li Qiniang gave to Qi Mao and his wife, there was also a Duan inkstone and a painting of flowers and birds from the previous dynasty. The Duan inkstone was given to Qi Mao, and the ancient painting was given to Zhong. She learned from Qi Wei that Zhong was good at painting flowers and birds.

What Qi Mao and his wife gave Li Qiniang were a pair of bracelets of mutton fat jade and a pair of peace buckles of mutton fat jade.

The bracelet given to Han was also a bracelet, and the water color was very good. When Han’s husband was in office, Li Qiniang gave him a set of four treasures in the study.

When it was Xiaoman and Yan Xuehuai's turn, Qi Wei and Li Qiniang's hearts were all hanging.
