Chapter 459 Return to Beijing (two chapters in one)

Li Qiniang sighed: "I'd better ask Xiaoman first before making a decision. If he wants to join the Qi family tree, I'll find a way to your Li family grandfather."

Yan Xuehuai felt that Xiaoman was most likely to want to inherit the Li family’s incense.

A small family with no immediate relatives and no incense is more suitable for someone with his identity.

However, Li Qiniang did not know Xiaoman's identity. Whether Qi Wei or Yan Xuehuai, including Xiaoman herself, she didn't want her to know. Otherwise, if Li Qiniang knew that Xiaoman was an emperor and the late emperor, Li Qiniang would probably never be able to face Xiaoman like she is now.

Of course, Yan Xuehuai could understand Qi Wei. Qi Wei treated Xiaoman because he was afraid of flying when he held it on his head and was afraid of melting when he held it in his mouth. The ancients attached great importance to the clan, so Qi Wei thought of writing Xiaoman in the Qi family genealogy and using the entire Qi family to protect him.

After saying that, Li Qiniang asked Yan Xuehuai again: "Xiaoman let go of her beforehand and not mention her, what about you, are you willing?"

Li Qiniang hoped that her daughter could agree. She took her daughter to leave the Yan family and her daughter became a clan without a clan. It would be fine if she was a small family, but her daughter wanted to be a princess and a princess. What Li Qiniang didn’t want to see the least was that her daughter was excluded by her sisters-in-law and was secretly laughed at by her subordinates.

Yan Xuehuai bent her eyes and looked at Li Qiniang: "Do you want to?"

"Me? This is your business, and it is up to you to decide." Li Qiniang was surprised.

Yan Xuehuai smiled and said, "Mom, you know, I don't care about these things, and I don't bother to analyze which situation is better for me. If I think I'm better recorded in the Qi family genealogy, then it's better for the Qi family. If I think I'm like Xiaoman and remember it to the Li family, then it's better for the Li family."

Li Qiniang looked at her daughter, and her eyes gradually became wet.

My daughter really doesn’t care about her origin, and the only thing she cares about is her mother.

"Hey, mom, why are you crying?" Yan Xuehuai reached out and hugged Li Qiniang, "Don't cry, don't cry, you are still in a happy day, you can't shed tears, it's unlucky."

Li Qiniang shed tears, but was amused by her daughter: "You little kids still understand these things, just talk nonsense."

Yan Xuehuai laughed, let go of Li Qiniang, then went to see what Li Qiniang brought, pointed to several of the jade pieces, and said in surprise: "Mom, your vision has improved!"

"I knew you would like it." Li Qiniang still had tears on her face, but her voice was already cheerful.

Yan Xuehuai picked up one of the lotus leaves and rolled dewdrops in his hand and rubbed them, and asked, "Mom, I heard from Chai Yan that the palace, together with the prince's mansions and the prince's mansions, have been checking people these days, so he and the second prince lived here. Now you and the prince are all back, and I think the prince's mansion will also check."

Li Qiniang frowned slightly and said, "The people in the mansion, except for the original people from the Duke's Mansion, are all brought by me. There should be no problem with the three families I brought."

Yan Xuehuai said: "Mom, the Duke of the State has rarely returned to the capital in the past ten years. The people in the mansion are handed over to Uncle Zhong. Uncle Zhong is old and has a bad memory. Can you still expect him to keep the mansion in order?

In addition, I heard that when the Duke of the Kingdom came back, there were many people coming in the mansion. Now the maids, officials and servants I see are all later. The Duke of the Kingdom is not like those who can manage these things, and it is not that the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the People, and they were asked to do it. If he had ulterior motives and took the opportunity to sneak in, would Duke of the Lord of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of

What is relatively reliable now is the three families you brought, but it is not absolute. You still need to check it out. In addition, I heard that you left all of these three families in the mansion, which is not possible.

Their three families are three small groups, and with the support of you, the Duke's wife, who dares to provoke them in this mansion?

If they make trouble for others everywhere for their own benefit, if they cover each other up and do evil, they will lose your face."

Li Qiniang's face turned slightly red, her daughter said something very reasonable, she really had never thought about it so much.

Yan Xuehuai knew very well that Li Qiniang was a good person in business, but she lacked experience in dealing with the affairs of the back home.

This may be related to the situation of the Li family. The Li family has a simple population and she is the pearl in her hand. There are no female elders in the family to guide her. She learned cooking skills and how to manage a restaurant, but she did not learn to be a housekeeper. It would be great if she met an equally simple family, but she met the Yan family, one in a million, and Li Qiniang was defeated like a mountain.

As Yan Xuehuai guessed, Xiaoman wanted to inherit the incense of the Li family.

Qi Wei was a little regretful, but when he thought about it, it might be a good thing.

Qi Mao and his wife had already left the capital with Han. After Qi Wei talked with Chai Yan, they understood what had happened recently. Before Li Qiniang could discuss him, he offered to conduct self-inspection in the mansion.

In the next few days, Chai Hui put a wardrobe in Li Shiji every day to have a big banquet for guests. Now, the streets and alleys of the capital are talking about this. Some people who want to eat for free can buy a silk robe from the clothes shop, and they also go to Li Shiji to eat and drink.

For such people, not only Wen Xiu can tell, but even the guys can recognize them at a glance. You say you are Mr. Chai’s friend, but you should clean your neck first and pick out the mud in the cracks of your nails.

Who is Chai Hui? He is the prince and grandson with a strong root.

But Aunt Wen and the guys saw through it and didn’t say it out loud. What they ate was not their vain. Every vegetable and piece of meat were all counted on Chai Hui’s account.

There was news from the palace that a group of palace maids and eunuchs were released. Then, the Duan Prince's Mansion and the Seventh Prince's Mansion also sent back a group of people to the Interior Office. When these people arrived at the Interior Office, they followed the people in the palace and took out the palace documents and released them.

Even Lihuashan Academy fired many people, but compared with the news in the palace, the firing of handymen in the academy was not at all popular.

At this moment, another news came that the Empress Dowager, who was far away in Bailu Mountain, was officially ordained and became a monk!

The Empress Dowager was practicing in Bailu Mountain, and the emperor specially built a small Ci'en Temple for her. Unexpectedly, just one year later, the Empress Dowager decided to officially become a monk.

After the death of emperors in the Great Wei Dynasty, there were concubines who went to the temple to practice. Ci'en Temple in the capital came because of this. However, the so-called practice was all about practicing with hair. Many concubines who had no children lived in Ci'en Temple. However, they were still concubines of the late emperor until their deaths, not monks.

The Empress Dowager was the first and only concubine to become a monk in the history of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Monks cut off the six senses and also cut off all ties in the world.

From then on, there was no more Empress Dowager in this world, only the nun Jingkong of Xiaoci'en Temple.

Li Qiniang sighed and comforted Qi, "In this way, can the Empress Dowager be buried in the imperial tomb and accompany Emperor Gaozong?"

Qi Wei smiled: "Yes, she is a monk."

A thought suddenly came to Li Qiniang's mind, saying that today, I should not want the Empress Dowager to be buried in the imperial tomb, and now I can get what I want.

So, did the Empress Dowager really become a monk voluntarily?

Li Qiniang shook her head. It had nothing to do with her. She was busy arranging the mansion’s staff these days and was busy.

With the news of the Empress Dowager becoming a monk, the lively and flowing banquet in Li Shiji finally came to an end.

Even if it is an ordinary wealthy family, if a female family member suddenly becomes a monk, it is not a very glorious thing.

The royal families living in the capital did not dare to show off their grand atmosphere. If Chai Hui had to hold a big banquet at this time, it would be extremely rude.

Li Shiji's water feast finally stopped, and Li Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Xiu came to the Duke's Mansion and told Li Qiniang that Chai Hui's house had already settled the bills for these days.

Li Qiniang asked about the flow of water and roughly estimated the profit. Chai Hui's money was really not small, and Li Shiji made a net profit of more than 5,000 taels.

Wen Xiu sighed: "It would be great if there were more such businesses in the future."

Li Qiniang laughed: "You are not afraid of causing trouble."

Wen Xiu didn't care: "Of course I'm not afraid anymore. Li Shiji's boss is you, you are the super first-class lady of the imperial decree."

Li Qiniang asked about the elder sister of the Wen family. The smile on Wen Xiu's face disappeared and said, "I just didn't believe the letter she asked the young master to bring over last time, so I wrote to Guihua and asked Guihua to ask me to inquire. Oh, my son-in-law has a good relationship again, and I caught the gangster more than my elder sister. Who do you think he is with this time? It is the daughter-in-law of the next family. She has a mother-in-law, husband and children. My elder sister is so careless, she also compensates the family twenty taels of silver."

Li Qiniang was stunned and asked, "Why do you have to pay that family money to catch the offender?"

"Yes, that family said that my son-in-law slept with his wife. If he didn't give money, he would report to the official. According to me, he should report to the official and asked the county magistrate to beat the board. But my stupid daughter was afraid that this would be a big deal and she would lose face. The family would have twenty taels, so she would give twenty taels."

Wen Xiu became more and more angry as she spoke. The maid brought tea and drank it all in one breath.

Li Qiniang said, "This is not a long-term solution. Let's do this. After this month, I will give you a holiday. You go back to Pingcheng to solve this problem. My elder sister is only in her twenties this year. When will this be the beginning? So it must be solved."

Wen Xiu said silently. She also wanted to go to Pingcheng, but what if her daughter wanted to live with her son-in-law.

Li Qiniang said, "You pretend you don't know about this first, and let Guihua help you watch. If the son-in-law does too much, go to my elder brother's godson. Guihua has seen him, and as long as he mentions Li Shiji, he will definitely help."

Wen Xiu nodded, not wanting to make the boss’s wife unhappy for her own business, so she changed the subject and talked about Lu Ying'er’s younger brother.

The day after Li Qiniang returned to the capital, Lu Ying'er brought her younger brother to kowtow to Li Qiniang. Even Qi Wei was surprised after saying this. Lu Ying'er's younger brother was actually Shi'er, the second prince's little prince.

Li Qiniang gave a set of four good treasures in the study and asked Dazhuang to give Huang Xiucai two jars of wine. Huang Xiucai was very happy and asked Lu Ping to go to school next month.

On this day, a mule cart drove into Suyi Lane. Qi Wei and Fusheng, dressed in Buyi, walked into the house at the end of Suyi Lane.

These days, Fusheng takes time out every day to come and take a look. Although he has not seen Qi Ying himself, he knows the situation here.

"When I first came, I would make noise every day and not have a good meal. In recent days, I have stopped making noises and I have eaten very little. I brought him a few books, but he didn't read them. Every day, he just sat there in a daze, and didn't know what he was thinking."

Qi Wei locked his eyebrows when he heard that Qi Ying had just come in and was on a hunger strike. When he heard that he was just in a daze every day, his eyebrows were locked tighter.

Qi Wei had heard Chai Yan say that the follower Acheng, who followed Qi Ying to Beijing, was a very dangerous person. He was beaten to pieces in the prison and was covered in bruises and has not yet revealed a single word.

Those who stayed here were all from the Cao Gang. Yan Xuehuai had told them that Fusheng could meet Qi Ying at any time, but although Fusheng came every day, he had never seen Qi Ying.

Seeing that Fusheng came, they greeted him with a smile. Fusheng handed them the braised pork and braised pork ribs he brought and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you have bought this from Qianwei Curie, let's try it for your brothers."

The few people looked at Qi Wei, without asking any more questions, thanked Fusheng with a smile, took out the key, opened the lock, and went to the room next to him, drank and ate meat.

Fusheng opened the door, nodded at Qi Wei, and then went to the side.

Qi Wei walked in.

Although the house is not exquisitely decorated, there are all tables, chairs, benches, bedding and pillows, and it is very clean. Obviously, people are cleaning every day.

Qi Ying sat on the bed, staring at the person who came in. He had lived here for almost twenty days, and had gone from being frightened and panicked at the beginning to being numb and accepting his fate.

He no longer expects to leave here.

But he didn't expect that he would see Qi Fu here.

"Why are you?"

Qi Ying kept wondering who caught him here, and he had doubted Qi Wei, but those guarding him were clearly in the Jianghu people. Even if Qi Wei wanted to capture him, he would send his subordinates and would not seek attack from the Jianghu people.

So later, he thought that most of the commanders behind this matter were Qi Wei's enemies, or people from the martial arts world. When he learned about his relationship with Qi Wei, he wanted to kidnap him and ask for money.

But Qi Ying did not expect that one day Qi Wei would appear here.

Qi Wei looked at the boy in front of him. This was his son, his closest relative, but he was a stranger.

"I also want to ask you, why did you come to the capital?" Qi said in condolences.

Qi Ying gritted her teeth, her blood-stained eyes staring at Qi comforted her.

"This is the capital city, why can't I come? Why, you dare not let me come, are you guilty?"

Qi Wei's heart twitched violently, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you going to see me when you come to the capital?"

Qi Ying was stunned and suddenly didn't know how to answer.
