Chapter 391: March 15th
Chapter 391 March 15th
March 15th is the 60th birthday of the Marquis.
It was also the day when he passed on the military talisman of the Qi family and completely handed over his rights.
In the court these days, the newly minted King Xiang is very popular. Although he is a little green, he is not a rookie and can handle all aspects. Can you do this just after showing up? The ministers clicked their tongues.
The prince still did not go to court, and King Wu and King An were doing their own things at hand. On the surface, everything was calm.
Qihou felt vaguely uneasy, but he couldn't think too much about it. He had been managing the family property recently. Since his title was secured, he had to think about the boss's side of the property.
Qi Youduan didn't know what he was busy with outside, and he was never at home. Therefore, old man Qi was doing the work here, while Qi Xiao and Wen Yu were sent out on the other end.
Yes, Qi Xiao came back and only stayed in front of his deceased wife's spirit for three days before being lured by Wen Yu to share the inheritance.
Hou Ye and Qi Xiao saw that Wen Yu was reasonable and unreasonable, and they were very concerned about whether they were reasonable or not. Mr. Hou had a headache, but Qi Xiao made rapid progress.
Just when Mr. Hou was about to collapse, the matter was finally finished. He showed the thing to Qi Youduan. Qi Youduan frowned for a long time, but in the end he didn't know what he thought of and agreed with a smile.
After completing the formalities, Qi Hou became ill for two days and was very low energy. Even today, he feels unhappy.
Qi Youduan originally wanted to follow Qi Hou's decision and have a low-key meal at home. After the meal, the old man handed over the military talisman and put it in his bag.
But Tan didn’t agree! This was the highlight of her life. From then on, she no longer had to worry, pretend, or think in all kinds of ways. She no longer faces the people she hates with a smile. You can do whatever you want!
Opening the cage and letting the tiger out makes it a bit uncontrollable. She didn't like it, so she broke up with Qi Youduan.
Qi Youduan accepted his mother's tenacity and let her go after talking for two times without getting through. I thought, this is not bad, let the other end understand: The situation is over!
How to deal with it? Mr. Tan thought of some tricks himself, but he couldn't quite figure it out, so he called Qi Yue and asked him what was popular in the capital recently.
This Qi Yue’s family is pure!
Tell her: There are three most popular ones recently. The first one is Pan Ruqing, a male dancer from the Jixiang Opera Troupe, who has a beautiful voice and a beautiful appearance. Her eyes are seductive and her figure is charming. That flick of a sleeve and a glance back...with a mixture of charm and anger, made people's hearts beat wildly. He has gone to see it several times and never tires of it.
The second one is a dancer, her body is incredibly soft. Hanging from a rope hanging in the center of the field, with bare feet, exposed arms, and fluttering clothes, he looks like an immortal. Those actions are bold but not inconsiderate, and are endlessly memorable.
Qi Yue said with a strange expression on his face: How fun it would be if we could get such a fairy!
He did go and get it, changed his name, paid a lot of money, and used various methods to bring it to his newly built small courtyard, but he didn't know that the other party had no backing, so it didn't happen yet!
"Grandma, the third one is the latest, a piano player. Self-titled: Luantan Gongzi. So interesting! Haha... He lives in the famous Lanyuan in the capital. It is said that he is covered in white gauze, graceful and mysterious! That One piano, one can play it superbly! After one piece of music, everyone is obsessed with it and cannot extricate themselves."
Tan made a sound, "I guess he just played randomly and others spread randomly!"
Qi Yue continued: "Don't believe it! My grandson's good friend, my grandmother, once played the piano in the capital when she was young. She played in front of the late empress, and the empress even shed tears when she heard it. My friend's father and this The piano player was kind. A few days ago, this mysterious figure went to his house. His elegance made the whole family dumbfounded, but he only played one song in front of his good friend’s grandmother and father, and even he couldn’t get close. He could only hear something faintly, and he couldn't recover for a while. How amazing!"
Mrs. Tan didn't take it seriously, with a mean look on her face and a unpleasant voice: "Just fool those who think they are right! Huh... are you really ignorant as a grandmother?"
She couldn't help but recall that she was fooled by Mrs. Bai's piano. Before that, she had never known such a beautiful sound existed in the world.
Later, when I got to know the piano, I realized that Mrs. Bai had superb skills, her hands were as fast as lightning, she could play all kinds of difficult tunes, and her music notation was also top-notch. As long as she listens to it once, she can play it. I also compose my own music.
Every time Mr. Bai mentions it, hum, he gets very excited. At that time, I secretly made up my mind to practice hard and surpass Mrs. Bai... But, alas! It's simply impossible!
I feel jealous and hateful, but I can’t help it.
One day, she saw Mr. Bai playing the piano... and then she understood what it means to be simple and simple... He didn't show off his skills at all, he only played the piano every time, but it seemed to be on the top of your heart.
I want you to cry with sadness and laugh with joy. Let you listen quietly, even breathing seems to disturb...
Mr. Bai...
Mr. Tan looked pitiful...she liked him so much.
He is very knowledgeable. When he sees his achievements today, will he regret it? If he didn't treat her like that, she wouldn't believe Li Qun and would be stupid...
That is really a shortcoming that even today cannot make up for.
“Grandma?”
"Oh..." Mrs. Tan came back to her senses, "Grandma is saying that this random guy is just pretending to be a ghost to fool you!"
Qi Yue laughed loudly: "But my grandson also heard that Wen Yu's **** cousin, whose surname is Song, runs an inn. He wanted to treat a guest the day before yesterday, and he seems to be an important person. I want to invite this young man to join the fun. But they ignored him. Then, the man surnamed Song lowered his conditions and said that he could go to Lanyuan for a visit, but he also refused.
He was anxious, and relying on his wealth, he kept throwing away money, and finally said: As long as he takes the guests to listen to a song, he will pay one hundred thousand silver! Haha, the person named Song is crazy! But, those people all refused, ha, they are all crazy. The same goes for Qi Wu. He actually went to Lanyuan to complain, but no one in the family let him in! "
“Seriously?” Mr. Tan became interested, “Isn’t he just an entertainer, so arrogant?”
"Although Lanyuan is not big, it is extremely gorgeous. Those who can live in it must be generous. I don't know if there is a sponsor to support it!" Qi Yue's voice was joking, with a face full of malice. "Those who want to listen to music must submit a post in advance. If he agrees, he will reply to the post and then go with the appointed person at the agreed time."
“That doesn’t cost money?!” Mrs. Tan curled her lips.
“He doesn’t want any money! But no matter what you say, it won’t be in vain!”
"Tch..." Ms. Tan thought for a while and then asked, "Then your friend, can you invite him to our house?"
"Isn't this... unlikely?" "Go and ask, quietly. If not, let your friends tell you."
“Grandma, do you want to spend one hundred thousand?” Qi Yue was surprised.
“Grandma is not crazy! If it doesn’t work out, your father is still there to support you! There is always a way to make that random guy know what coercion and inducement mean!”
“This…” Qi Yue thought about it…
Ms. Tan turned around and went back to the house, took out a few banknotes and gave them to Qi Yue: "You must try it. Grandma is not crazy, but she is not stingy either!"
Qi Yue saw the amount and realized that it was a good thing for him, so he left happily.
Mrs. Tan is also happy. Now, she no longer feels guilty about not having much private property. After waiting with great expectations for several days, Qi Yue hurried back and sat down on a chair, "My grandson is so exhausted!"
He had a smile on his face.
Finally, it’s March 15th.
The weather was already very warm, and the banquet was placed in the courtyard, with one person per table, facing the stage arranged in front. Ms. Tan arrived very early, and accompanied by Ms. Liu, she checked the details.
Beside Qi Youyi, Aunt Xiuyun followed openly. She looked different from usual from head to toe today. Her hair was full of pearls and her skirt was shining. No trace of age can be seen at all, and she is extremely beautiful. Looking at her and smelling her fragrance, Qi Youyi's heart was pounding, just like before.
Housch Qi arrived accompanied by Qi Youduan. Mrs. Tan looked at them with a bright face, not knowing whether she was looking at Qi Hou or her son.
Here, Mrs. Qi arrived supported by Wen Yu, followed by Qi Xiao and Qi Yang. Wen Yu had a calm face, and only Qi Wu could see a hint of excitement in her eyes.
Everyone came from two directions and looked at each other.
Mrs. Tan has never seen Mrs. Cui or Wen Yu these days. Her smile remained unchanged, as if she had not seen them, and she said to Marquis Qi: "Master Marquis, today, I have invited two of the three most popular people in the capital." One is the male lead Pan Ruqing. The other is, I won’t say his number, otherwise you will laugh at me for not being dignified enough to invite such a person." She smiled like a flower.
“Originally there was a dancer, but time was too tight, and the dance she was best at required a high stage, so there was no rush. As for the troupe, they snatched her up as soon as they had a good name.
with this piano player, it’s so hard to invite him! I heard that a few days ago, there was a nouveau riche named Song who spent hundreds of thousands of snowflakes of silver. Even if you want to listen to his music, you won't even give me face! He is really a man of integrity! We, Yue'er, actually invited such a person here! How awesome do you think Yue'er is? "
Although Qihou came from a noble family, he was not arrogant and extravagant. When he heard this, he quickly asked: "Xiaosan, how much did you spend?"
“Grandpa, I am a friend of my grandson and the cost is negligible!”
Mrs. Tan glanced at her warmly and said, "Master Marquis, do you think you can accomplish anything with just money? If Brother Yue hadn't had a good friend, and if he hadn't heard that our family was the one to invite him, he wouldn't have come no matter how much money he gave!"
Qi Xiao silently stayed with her mother and looked at this strange grandmother. As soon as he got home, Mrs. Tan called him over. Of course, he discovered that today's grandmother is no longer as loving, peaceful, and funny as before. Even the concern and sadness were gone from his eyes. She became a cold and arrogant lady.
In a few simple words, she explained the cause of Xu Minghui's death, and then she said arrogantly: "If you want to believe grandma, this is the answer for you. If you don't believe it, you can ask your mother!"
He returned to his small courtyard, and that woman was no longer there... Thinking of Xu Minghui's voice and smile, his heart ached.
Mother took care of Baoer very well and talked to him in a calm and down-to-earth manner. Wen Yu told what happened. The fourth brother and his wife were filled with guilt, and they bowed deeply to excuse Aunt Liu.
As for the Xu family, they must have sent someone at the door to wait for him to come back. If he walks in front, Xu Mingshan will arrive behind. The back and forth stalking has only one purpose: to get money.
Things teach people to behave! What still doesn't he understand now?
A few days ago, my grandfather was in charge of dividing the family business, and my father hid. Xiao Wu didn’t know what he was doing, so his mother left the matter to him and Wen Yu. He finally saw Wen Yu's rationality and strength, and his attitude of spending every penny. To be honest, he learned a lot!
He suddenly matured and his temperament became calm.
Qi Hou took his seat, and everyone also sat down.
The girls began to serve food and wine in an orderly manner.
Qi Hou raised his glass, but felt tired and didn’t know what to say, “Everyone is safe and sound, let’s each live our own lives!”
Mrs. Tan smiled and raised her glass to Mr. Qi and Qi Youduan without even looking at Mr. Cui. Drink it!
In the stands, the drums beat together, and the play is on stage. That male actor was really awesome, and even Mrs. Qi, who was full of thoughts, was fascinated by him. The atmosphere improved and everyone relaxed. After several excerpts were performed, and the applause continued, the male dancer accepted the reward and retired.
The gauze curtain was hung on the stage, and only a candle was lit inside. The shadow of the piano and a pair of hands could be vaguely seen, but the appearance of the player playing the piano could not be seen clearly.
Mrs. Tan smiled secretly: You are so good at making things mysterious!
She had another drink! Mr. Liu is not bad, the wine today is delicious!
There was only a clang sound, and the whole place fell silent...
Just one chapter, one chapter!
Tomorrow, tomorrow the old witch will die, so dead that she will never live again.
