It took two quarters of an hour for Qingyi to arrive in this Shouyan Hall, this hall should be the courtyard of the usual Shifu banquet activities, just between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, Qingyi looked at this Shifu is really big, I thought that my grandfather's house was very big, and those few rooms of the house were also considered grandfather's, but this Shifu was very big, I don't know how they contacted such a big family?

Could it be that communication basically relies on roaring?

It's too big, maybe mining is related to stone, this stone house is also surnamed stone, this yard is full of strange stones, but it is unique, whether it is echoing from afar or exquisite atmosphere, you can see different beauty from different angles.

Qingyi heard her name sung, so she took four people in, and as soon as she entered, she found that there were already a lot of female dependents in this room, and the smell of fat powder in the room almost made Qingyi sneeze, but she couldn't help it.

But at this time, everyone's eyes were looking at this child like a plum blossom fairy walking in, Mrs. Shi looked at Qingyi's eyes lit up, what a stunning little beauty, no wonder her son whispered in his ear every day, is such an outstanding child really from a merchant family?

Although the Shi family is also a merchant, there are many people in the Shi family who have gained fame, but there are many restrictions on the clan rules, and there are very few people in the court now, so the Shi family is still a scholarly family in the final analysis, and naturally they are not willing to ask to marry a woman who is just a merchant to be the wife of the next head of the family.

Qingyi looked at Mrs. Shi who was sitting at the top, the upper body was a round neck, wide sleeves, red dark lines of longevity peach-like gown, a royal blue gold thread embroidered skirt, this skirt is worth a lot, especially the fallen horse bun wearing a set of head and face of the ruby child and mother sent by Shi Huaiyu, the whole body is full of style, the beauty of the graceful atmosphere, a pair of water-like eyes are looking at Qingyi gently.

Qingyi walked up to Mrs. Shi, squatted down and saluted: "Junior Qingyi greets Mrs. Shi, and wishes Mrs. Shi eternal youth and longevity!" ”

"Okay, good boy, hurry up!" Mrs. Shi watched Qingyi's every move as elegant and decent as the beauty in the painting, and there was still an irresistible sweet smile on her face, and Mrs. Shi's heart softened suddenly.

Qingyi personally handed over a box and said, "This is a congratulatory gift prepared by Qingyi, please ask Mrs. Shi to follow!" ”

Mrs. Shi glanced at the big mama behind her, this mama walked down in a regular manner, and the box in Qingyi's hand was opened, and it turned out to be a beautiful kang screen embroidered with longevity patterns, and the cranes on it were lifelike, which meant to celebrate birthday.

Take a closer look at the grandmother next to Mrs. Shi and say: "Master, this is the kang screen of the Biyan Pavilion in Kyoto, but it is difficult to buy a thing, even the dignitaries and nobles in Kyoto do not necessarily have such a good kang screen, and the products of the Biyan Pavilion in Kyoto are rarely flawed, so the price is usually very expensive, and it is not easy for the master to get such a large kang screen." ”

Mrs. Shi took Qingyi's hand and said, "Good boy, I like this gift very much, thank you." ”

A woman next to her said: "I said sister-in-law, although you are a birthday star today, but this child has not even drunk saliva since he came in, and no matter how good the child is, he has complaints." ”

Qingyi raised her eyes and saw that it was the second lady of the Shi family, and she heard that she was a mean person on weekdays.

"What the second sister-in-law said makes sense, the sister-in-law should really train the slave maid well, that is, the third aunt and grandmother, I have been sitting for a quarter of an hour and have not eaten tea." The third aunt and grandmother of the Shi family, who have been married, don't know why they are in Suzhou and Hangzhou at this time, shouldn't they be released in other places?

Another woman dressed in pink who almost stole the limelight from Mrs. Shi said: "Sister, although my sister is a noble concubine, I have to remind my sister on this occasion today, although we are the main family, we must not be neglected."

Qingyi obviously felt Mrs. Shi's hand tightened, Qingyi really sighed in her heart, feeling that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!

Even if Qingyi sighed, she couldn't change the marriage system of three wives and four concubines here, but she looked at the loneliness and sadness in Mrs. Shi's eyes, and suddenly remembered her mother, and felt the breath of her mother from Mrs. Shi's body, in fact, her mother is also such a gentle woman.

Sensing that Mrs. Shi was wrong after the noble concubine had spoken, Qingyi gently shook Mrs. Shi's hand back and looked at Mrs. Shi encouragingly.

Mrs. Shi received Qingyi's encouraging eyes, and she didn't know why her heart suddenly warmed, but Mrs. Shi also realized that she was a little out of shape, and then beckoned Qingyi to sit beside her.

Mrs. Shi looked at this noble concubine and said lightly: "Sister doesn't need to worry about the sky, this is my birthday, everything has been arranged, but some 'well-intentioned people' will be quiet, it's no problem." ”

Qingyi looked at the handkerchief in the hand of this noble concubine, and was a little unwilling to say something, Qingyi felt a little sorry for this gentle lady, this ancient woman is really pitiful, the Shi family has a great cause and doesn't know how this noble concubine came out.

However, when Qingyi looked at this restless concubine, she knew that it was definitely not a normal way to come, and the most hated thing in Qingyi's life, whether in her previous life or in this life, was Xiaosan.

So Qingyi intercepted what this noble concubine was going to say and said, "Eldest lady, your face is so familiar." ”

Mrs. Shi didn't want to let a concubine lose face in such a situation where the whole city had a head and a face in the city, although she was usually a little weak, but she was not stupid, otherwise she would have been eaten in such a wolf-like Shi family.

Feeling Qingyi's kindness, he knew that the little girl named Qingyi that his son said was a wonderful person with a delicate heart, and then smiled gently: "Yes, this is still Huaiyu, the child spent a lot of money to buy it in your Gu family's Furuixuan gold shop, I heard that it is the head of the mother and son." ”

Qingyi said: "The meaning of the head of the mother and the child is very deep, the son is born by the mother, the mother lives by the son, and the mother and the child depend on the bloodline to continue, so the mother's filial piety is the most beautiful thing in the world, that is, I was shocked when I saw this set of heads, although we have a gold shop with a head and a mother, but the cost of the head and the head of the mother is expensive, and the materials are extremely fine from the design to the construction of the man-hours are very long, so Mrs. Shi is very lucky to get a set." ”

When the surrounding ladies heard it, they knew that this set of heads and faces came from the Gu family's gold shop, especially the concept of children and mothers explained by Qingyi made many ladies red, probably they have experienced the struggle of the house to give birth to children, and deeply understand the difficulties of the battlefield without gunpowder.

Therefore, many ladies congratulated Mrs. Shi one after another: "Congratulations to Mrs. Shi, the fifth prince is so filial, he is really envious of others." "This is the lady of the Cui family.

"Yes, yes, if the leather monkey in our family has half of the filial piety of Mrs. Shi's fifth son, I will burn high incense!"

After speaking, he shook off the handkerchief and looked at Mrs. Shi with some envy.

This lady is the housemother of a five-grade official family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and many people are talking at this time, Mrs. Shida's face is full of red light, if there is anything proud of a woman in a mansion, it is to raise good children.

Qingyi could realize that Mrs. Shi was really happy at this time, and frequently stroked the head of this set of rubies, which made the ladies jealous.

Mrs. Shi gave Qingyi a grateful look, it was a very shameless thing to be questioned by a concubine on such a big occasion, or because Qingyi changed the topic, she had the current dignity.

Qingyi felt a few unkind rays of light, including the second lady of Shi just now and the third aunt and grandmother of the Shi family, and the most vicious was the concubine Shu Gui of the big house of the small Sanshi family, Qingyi glared back fiercely, the head of the family is here to attend the birthday banquet, and he is not looking at your face.

However, Qingyi saw these women of the Shi family making eye contact in private, Qingyi didn't know if this Mrs. Shi could be saved because of the existence of the fifth son, hey, the family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

Qingyi didn't want to get involved in their family's problems, so she ignored it, and Mrs. Chen said: "I said that sister-in-law's Huaiyu bought this set of noodles out of the public middle school." ”

Second Mrs. Shi's words made the person who praised Shi Huaiyu's filial piety a little embarrassed just now, this second lady of the Shi family is really a little child, she knows money when she opens her mouth and closes her mouth, Qingyi obviously felt that Mrs. Shi's smile stiffened on her face.

Mrs. Shi was very angry in her heart, but in recent years, the second room has become more and more disagreeable, although the concubine in the second room is the eldest grandson of Huaiyu and their generation, and the second lady Shi has nothing to do for so many years, only these two concubines are raised under their own names, but what good son can this small family Chen raise?

Mrs. Shi glanced at Mrs. Shi and said, "Second brother and sister, the source of this silver coin is the New Year's money saved by my father for so many years, not from the public school, if my brother and sister don't believe it, you can check it." ”

Many of the ladies present looked at Mrs. Shi with disdain, she was really a person who couldn't open her eyes and couldn't put on the table.

Qingyi looked at Chen Shuli and Chen Shuxiu sitting next to the second lady of the Shi family, and Qingyi understood why this second lady Shi looked at her with such fierce eyes, the Chen family of the second lady of the Shi family was the largest branch of the Chen family.

And Gu Aimei, who is in the second room of the Gu Mansion, married to the Chen family, should be regarded as a side branch, but it is very close, after all, it is also a very powerful thing to be able to have a relationship with the Shi family.

However, Qingyi seems to have heard the mother-in-law say that this Second Mrs. Shi did use some means to sit in this position at the beginning, otherwise the Chen family is really not enough to see in a big family like the Shi family.

Qingyi couldn't help but sigh that this world is really small, and there are acquaintances everywhere.

Sure enough, the second lady of the Shi family, Chen, didn't get a bargain from Mrs. Shi, so she looked at Qingyi, Chen Shuxiu and Chen Shuli knew that Qingyi was not a character to mess with, and when they saw that Aunt Tang was planning to deal with Qingyi, they whispered a few words, but this second lady Shi didn't look at Qingyi at all, and she didn't feel that Qingyi could make any waves.

So this Second Lady Shi said: "You are Qingyi, are you the head of the Gu family?" ”

This person has thrown out all the bricks, Qingyi can't help but take it, let's see what he is going to play first, "Exactly, I am the current head of the Gu family, I don't know what advice Mrs. Shi has?" ”

Qingyi sat dignified and elegant in a position closer to the first place, and her better appearance was not inferior to that of the royal princess, on the other hand, this second lady Shi was picking and searching for the childish appearance of the little family, which made people unwelcome and disgusted.

Second Mrs. Shi said: "I can't talk about advice, I just want to ask the Gu family Although they are merchants, the most basic morality of loving the old and the young is still there, why did I hear that you, a person with a foreign surname, actually inherited the Gu family, isn't this too devoid of etiquette and morality?" ”

Qingyi was very unhappy in her heart, the consequences were very serious, Qingyi said: "The head of the family really didn't see that Second Lady Shi's hand stretched out so long, when will it be the turn of the Shi family to take care of the affairs of our Gu family, the selection of heirs of each family is different, I don't know why Second Lady Shi uses words like etiquette and morality and Wang Fa in this matter, or does Second Lady Shi also plan to use her eldest son to inherit the position of the next head of the Shi family?" ”

"You ......" Second Mrs. Shi didn't expect Qingyi to be so difficult, she thought she was a little girl, even if she couldn't pull Qingyi off the horse after saying a few words, at least she would breathe a sigh of relief to her cousin's family, but she didn't expect Qingyi to say such a heart-wrenching word.

There was also a sound of pumping around!

Unexpectedly, at a young age, Qingyi blocked the most difficult second lady of the Shi family with a word.

Mrs. Shi's heart is not to mention how refreshing, Mrs. Shi was born in a big family, so she is really annoyed by this concubine who has nothing to do on weekdays, and the general method of preaching or something is useless for this Chen family at all.

It turns out that Qingyi is so powerful, no wonder he can suppress the monsters of the Gu family at such a young age!

The second lady of the Shi family said: "The head of the Gu family is so sharp and sharp at a young age, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find my mother-in-law in the future." ”

"This question doesn't bother the second lady Shi, as a woman's marriage, this is the fate of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, everything is to listen to the father and mother, but one thing is for sure, Qingyi believes in the vision of the father, no matter what, it will not be the son of the second lady, the second lady can rest assured."

Qingyi finished with a smile, but Second Lady Shi was so angry that she was about to vomit blood, what was this Qingyi talking about?

Even if her son is a concubine, he is the eldest grandson, and it is possible to inherit the Gu family, and she still can't look down on Qingyi.

"Second Mrs. Shi, you are such a big person, you are really not ashamed to mention your mother-in-law or something to Qingyi, since the little head of the Gu family has said that it is not your second wife's son, I think you don't have to worry about it." Mrs. Cui spoke bluntly.

Qingyi looked at Mrs. Cui with a smile, the Cui family is also an official family under the prefect, Qingyi heard that Mrs. Ye, the prefect, is Qingyi's aunt, said that she had a good relationship with Mrs. Cui, so many people are Mrs. Cui's righteousness and outspokenness, Qingyi understood it.

Many ladies around laughed, Second Mrs. Shi was angry with her stomachache, and it was not pleasing to see Qingyi, but she still wanted to find trouble with Qingyi, but unfortunately the roll call outside said that it was Mrs. Luo of the Governor's Mansion, the three young ladies of Second Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Ye of the prefect had arrived.

Many ladies got up to greet them, even today's birthday star, the eldest lady of the Shi family, also got up to greet them, after all, it is still a relatively large governor's mansion in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and it is a kind of dignity to come.

A lot of people came in with a burst of dazzle, but Qingyi smiled as soon as she saw Mrs. Luo, this Mrs. Luo is too short, she is about the same height as Qingyi, and she is still a little fat, a little bit of a half-bag of noodles, if it weren't for the whiter skin, it is estimated that there is really no way to see it, and it will be a season away from getting together with Mrs. Ye.

Ye Yueyan happily ran over and sat with Qingyi, and Mrs. Ye also looked at Qingyi lovingly, hearing that Qingyi was sick a few days ago, she asked for warmth.

Qingyi looked at the half bag of noodles and smiled in her heart, but she had to endure it, and sure enough, after everyone sat down, Mrs. Luo's eyes stabbed at Qingyi like a sword and said, "Whose child is this, so rude!" ”
