Chapter 383: The Bai family is here
Chapter 383 The Bai family is here
The night before, it was already late at night, and news came that Mu Bo and Zhang Yuan were back!
Wen Yu was so excited that she didn't sleep all night. Qi Wu looked at her like a little duck that just hit the water in spring, lively and cheerful. So he hugged her and pestered her twice.
The next day, Wen Yu asked Mrs. Qi to go with her. Mrs. Qi took Bao'er with her. Just as the group was about to get in the car, news came: Qi Hou and Qi Youduan arrived home at noon.
Mrs. Qi listened expressionlessly and led Bao'er into the car. I found that I was full of all kinds of hopes for the news I wanted to know. Even if the Qi family was ruined, I would still laugh with others.
She also said this to Wen Yu, who grinned bitterly.
Mrs. Tan was happy from the bottom of her heart when she heard that her son was coming in. I also heard that Mrs. Qi and the others had gone out early in the morning. She rolled her eyes and said, "What are you doing for people to see?!" It's best to go to the East Palace again!
As a result, after a while, someone came back carrying a guard with a broken leg. It turned out that the fifth master's men had broken his leg.
Tan's seven orifices were filled with smoke, and then he thought again: Don't be angry, don't be angry, you are going to come back! Just wait and see how my son will deal with you!
Qi Wu, who had just finished beating someone, stayed calm with his mother and wife. After last night and just now, he felt a little more depressed after a few days of depression.
Arrived at the East Palace Villa, Wen Yu saw Mu Bo and Zhang Yuan in front of him and could not recognize them. They both look alike! He is dark and thin. When he smiles, only his teeth are white. He is also wearing the same clothes. "How did you end up like this?"
Mubo is not good at words, "Tired!"
Zhang Yuan said: "We brothers are really exhausted this time. We have been on the road! Let me tell you first, it is all good news!"
This is really good news for Zhang Yuan. He has been flattering Mubo all the way. On the way back, he said that he would not marry Mu Ling until the Qi family's affairs came to an end. He also made a vow.
Mubo kicked him twice, but said: "You can consider it!"
"What are you looking for? Tell me quickly!" Wen Yu didn't know what Zhang Yuan was thinking, so he reminded him when he saw that he was dazed.
So Zhang Yuan started talking: The two of them left the capital and went straight to Niuyou Village.
Niujia Village is actually a very small village, located at the foot of the mountain, with only a dozen households.
The mountains behind are very steep, infested with wild animals, and produce valuable medicinal materials. Therefore, the people in this village basically make a living by hunting, gathering and growing medicines.
The road is not easy to walk, so not many outsiders get in. The two of them went, and the villagers looked at them and brought out fruit wine and entertained them warmly. But as soon as they started talking, their hearts became cold.
It turns out that there was a wildfire in Niujia Village many years ago. Most of the people in the village were burned to death, and the entire village was deserted. Outsiders were afraid to come. Two years later, the medicinal materials here were really attractive, so some people invited monks and Taoist priests to perform rituals, remove the original traces, build new houses, and thrive here.
So, almost no one knows what Mubo and I want to inquire about.
Speaking of this, Zhang Yuan became jealous: "I saw my grandfather's grave. Mr. Hou left money in the county. Later, my father always sent some. The county allocated the money to the village, and the people in the village helped Maintenance. Therefore, the tomb looks very neat, but no one in the local area knows the reason for this."
There was no news here, and the two of them did not dare to delay, so they went to Xijing again.
“When we arrived in Xijing, we went to the villa. Master Qing, guess what? Your third sister Bai Yaocai lives there.”
“What? Third sister?” Master Qing was dumbfounded.
"Yes. Your third sister lived there with your eldest sister's son. When your eldest sister knew something was wrong with the Bai family, she hurriedly went to find help. The car overturned on the road and she died. Your second sister was just getting married after she got married. She was about to give birth to a baby, and she was so sad that she lost two lives. Your third sister's mother-in-law disliked her, and she was so stubborn that she asked your third brother-in-law to write a letter of divorce and she wanted to return to Fengxiang Villa!
But your third brother-in-law is a very good person, so he invited himself out of the house and followed him out. After what happened to the Bai family, many people expressed gratitude for the Bai family's kindness to this land over the years and helped your third sister maintain the villa.
After the warehouse was bombed, it caught fire. Up to now, the place where the warehouse is located is still in ruins. There are some who have been favored by the Bai family, and some loyal servants who live with your third sister. The money everyone saved due to their busy work was used to maintain the house. After so many years, although it is dilapidated, the appearance of the entire villa can still be seen clearly. "
Master Qing and Yibai looked at each other, both of them were surprised and happy.
"Master Qing, your eldest sister's son is named Yang Xin. He is said to be very smart with the Bai family. He has a sister and they are married." "But why would the Yang family let their brother and sister go back to the Bai family?"
"Mr. Yang has remarried, and when he has a stepmother, he has a stepfather. When Yang Xin was only seven or eight years old, he took his loyal servant and sister to Xijing, and your third sister adopted him. It's just that the stepmother was too bad. Followed by and made trouble. He took the scholar exam secretly. Later, when he wanted to take the exam, his stepmother tried his best to stop him!
After the incident in the Bai family, your third sister looked for you. But the couple were kicked out by their husband's family and had no money. After searching to no avail, the Yang Xin brothers and sisters came, and they stopped running out. After learning the news about you and Mr. Yibai, she cried so much that she couldn't hold back her breath, and asked her subordinates to tell you: You are good, Mr. Yibai is good! She will be at home, waiting for you to come back! "
Master Qing and Yibai held hands, nodded and cried. The Bai family still has descendants, they still have a family!
…
At noon, Qi Hou followed Qi Youduan into the house.
It turns out that Marquis Qi left the capital in a rage. He did not take the official route, but took a shortcut. So those who went to look for him failed to catch up. He waited for his third son in Yanzhou.
Qi Youduan is known as the "scholar in the army". He really looks like a scholar.
White face, black beard, gentle expression. The color of his clothes is light and elegant, and he speaks slowly and softly. He is not as tall as Qi Youyi, and he does not have the military aura about him. Bows, swords, and horse steps are definitely not comparable, but the strategy is not weak. Having been with Mr. Hou for many years, the two of them cooperated well.
Hitting his head, the Marquis was in a bad mood and walked back without worrying about the matter in the capital. When they arrived at the city gate, they met the servants from the mansion who had gone to report the news again. When Qi Hou heard the news, his face was as dark as water and he was furious.
The impression of a harmonious and peaceful home turned out to be worse than others! He left the house with his front foot, but actually killed someone with his back foot!
Qi Youduan was also a little surprised: "Father, I'm afraid this is also related to Liu's failure to manage the family well. Don't worry yet, we'll take a look at it when we get home."
When he came back this time, he only brought twenty sergeants with him.
Generally, when military attachés return to Beijing, the number of manpower they bring with them is regulated. In order to avoid suspicion, he showed even less publicity. But because I had a few important things to do when I came back this time, I followed some secretly.
Arrived at the gate of Qi Mansion, Ms. Tan was already waiting in front. She heard footsteps: "Youduo!" Her voice trembled.
Today, Ms. Tan dressed up specially, put on makeup, decent clothes, and jewelry, trying to give her son a good impression.
"Mother!" Qi Youduan walked in, lifted up his robe and knelt down. He was also a little excited.
Mr. Tan ignored others and rushed towards him, put his hands on his shoulders, and looked at him carefully: "Son, you are finally back!" After saying that, he started to cry.
Qi Youyi stood beside him, feeling a little embarrassed.
Qi Youduan smiled: "Mother! You don't take good care of your son, but you cry alone, your eyes are filled with tears, and you can still see clearly?"
Mrs. Tan quickly wiped her tears and helped him up: "Get up, get up! Are you injured?"
“Don’t worry, mother, there are no injuries at all! My son is taken care of by his father and protected by soldiers, so where can he get hurt?”
He turned his head and shouted with a smile: "Brother!"
Qi Youyi calmed down and said, "Third brother, you have had a hard journey!"
“I haven’t seen you for a long time, big brother. Looking back, we two brothers should have a good drink!”
Mrs. Tan quickly said: "You two have reached your age, you are not allowed to drink like before!"
The two brothers both laughed, "Okay! Listen to mother!"
The atmosphere is peaceful, a true mother is kind and her son is filial.
Isn’t this good? How could someone die? Seeing their mother and son being affectionate, Qi Hou still had the dark cloud on his face: "What's going on with Mrs. Xu and Aunt Liu?"
