Chapter 296

After Qi's mansion has achieved such a great wealth, there are countless people who have tried to flatter him and have all the ideas on Qi Yi. So how can Qi You have gone out to make friends in the past two days?

Qi You looked at Xun Qingran seriously. Seeing Xun Qingran's face jokingly, he reached out and pinched Xun Qingran's cheek.

"Make fun at me again. Could it be that I was jealous and worried that someone would give me a beauty?"

"Hmph." Xun Qingran snorted and patted Qi You's hand off.

"You know, I don't like those." Qi You said, completely judging the matter.

This is true. To please Qi You, it is better to give him a good horse than to give him a beauty.

"What's more, I'm different from my fifth brother. Most of the people who come and go are old acquaintances and know the roots." Qi You continued, "My fifth brother is young and not familiar with the world. Those people are thinking about him getting closer."

Xun Qingran nodded. Qi You already had a relatively fixed circle of interactions. Most of the people who interacted with were real nobles and relatives. For example, Prince Kang, there were only people asking him for help, so he did not need to ask for help. Even if someone wanted to curry favor with Qi You, he had few chances to say something.

"I heard from the little girl that the old man of the Cai family had committed a crime and was about to be exiled." Xun Qingran remembered the news he heard before dinner and asked Qi You for confirmation.

"It's such a thing." Qi You said simply. Seeing Xun Qingran continue to stare at her, he said again, "He is a little inappropriate on weekdays, and it's not surprising that something happens."

Only the couple talked, Xun Qingran did not beat around the bush, "This matter has nothing to do with our mansion."

Qi You thought for a while and whispered, "The third brother wants to protect the third sister-in-law and Mao brother..., don't pay attention to this matter."

"I know, I'm just asking." Xun Qingran said.

Sure enough, although it was suppressed by that incident, it was related to the demeanor of the Qi family's men. The Qi family could not have let it go. Although it has not been stated explicitly, Grandma Qi San was almost confined to the Shaoyao Pavilion. Now it is taking action against the Cai family, which means it will not deal with Grandma Qi San anymore.

Platycodon and Aster came in with pen, ink, paper and ink from outside.

"Grandma wants good rice paper." said Platycodon.

"Okay, put it on the table." Xun Qingran said, "Jun Hui's study has just been renovated. Please ask me to write a couplet."

"He has so many great scholars who actually ask for your words?" Qi You raised his eyebrows.

Xun Qingran looked at Qi You with dissatisfaction. What was that tone and expression? Can you look down on her?

"What's wrong with my handwriting? Most people can't ask for it. Who am I? I am Tanhualang's sister." Xun Qingran said and walked to the table.

Platycodon had already spread the rice paper for Xun Qinglan and was about to grind the ink.

Qi You also walked to the table and waved to let Platycodon and Aster retreat. He took the ink from Platycodon and personally dyed and ground the ink for Xun Qing.

Xun Qingran calmed down, held the pen in his right hand, and put the sleeve of his right arm in his left hand, and focused on writing.

Xun Qingran's expression was calm, her brushstrokes were like flowing clouds and flowing water, her white wrists and bones were evenly shiny and clean, as bright as ice and snow, she looked like poems and paintings, and Qi You was stunned without realizing it.

Xun Qingran finished writing the pair and put away her pen. Seeing Qi You's dazed look, she smiled unconsciously. She stretched out one hand and shook it in front of Qi You. Only then did Qi You come to her senses.

"It's time for me to change my study room to another pair," Qi You said.

Xun Qingran looked at Qi You, raised her lips slightly, spread her hands, "Moisten the pen!"

"You are indispensable." Qi You took the opportunity to hold Xun Qingran's hand.

Both of them laughed.

"I forgot one thing. Today, the mansion sent someone to send a post, saying that the prince of Yongqing would accompany his fourth sister to the house tomorrow. The wife wanted to prepare a banquet at home, and she would not invite others. She just invited a few of us sisters to go back and have a gathering." Xun Qingran took out a post from the booklet piled on the table next to her and handed it to Qi You. "I have already replied to the old lady and the wife. The old lady said, "Look at how I am, I will make the decision by myself. The wife said that I will go back and take a look."

Qi You looked at the post, "You just wrote a pair, are you planning to send it tomorrow?"

"Yes." Xun Qingran nodded.

"I have nothing to do tomorrow, go with you." Qi You said.

"good."

It was not too early, so the two of them cleaned up, washed up and went to bed.

"You are still in my room. Old lady, if the wife knows, I'm afraid she won't follow you." Xun Qingran whispered.

"It's not that I have set up a room next door," Qi You said, "Who knows where I'm resting?"

Xun Qingran sighed lightly.

"At this time, I pretended to be virtuous again. Who complained that the two of them had fun together and the one was alone, saying that I would bear half of it." Qi You said and pinched Xun Qingran's ears.

That was the same two days ago. Xun Qingran was so shocked that she almost vomited all her bile. She complained to Qi You, who said, "I will accompany you."

"I'm just talking." Xun Qingran burst out laughing.

Qi You turned off the candle, Xun Qingran leaned against Qi You, closed her eyes, and fell asleep soundly.

……………………

The next day, Xun Qingran and Qi You passed by Rong and the second wife of Qi, and took a car to Xun's mansion together.

The carriage stopped at the second gate of Xun Mansion. Qi You jumped off the carriage first and then helped Xun Qingran down.

"You are so kind to take care of grandma." Qi You told Madam Xu, Kikyo and others, and then turned to Xun Qingran and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, send someone to the front yard to find me."

"Leave that word to Junhui." Xun Qingran also instructed.

In the upper room of Wutong Courtyard, Fang was sitting on the wide chair above. Next to her were Xun Shulan, Xun Qingran, Xun Shufang and Xun Shuzhi.

Today, Xun Qingran only wore a plain dark-patterned dress, and a set of pearl hairpin rings were simply inserted on her head, which was beautiful but not ostentatious. Xun Shulan was newlywed, wearing a bright red dress and a gold-belt and jade, and she had the luxurious look of a princess, but Xun Shufang's dress was even more gorgeous. Xun Shuzhi was wearing a royal blue dress, and because of having three children in succession, her figure became more plump. Xun Qingran looked at her eyes and felt that if Xun Shuzhi was not under control, she would be the figure of Aunt Wu in the future.

"The first time these aunts in our family have gathered so neatly, who can be more blessed than the wife? My sister-in-law will also benefit a lot." Grandma Xun said with a smile.

Fang nodded with a smile.

"Fourth sister, does the prince love the fourth sister?" Xun Shufang sat down at Xun Shulan and asked with a smile, with a different meaning in her eyes.

Xun Shulan looked at Xun Shufang, but did not answer, but just lowered her head, as if she was shy.

"The fourth sister is shy." Grandma Xun smiled.

"What's so shy between us sisters?" Xun Shufang curled her lips and said, "The fourth sister doesn't speak. Is it because the prince doesn't love the fourth sister?"

"The prince is very nice to me." Xun Shulan said, "Sister Lao is worried."

Fang patted Xun Shulan's hand with a very gratified expression on her face.

"Three Girls, have you brought the things you brought?" Fang turned around and asked Xun Shuzhi.

"Bring it." Xun Shuzhi responded, and asked the girl behind her to hand over a package.

"What is this?" Grandma Xun took the package first.

"It's the little clothes that Duan Ge'er and Rui Ge'er have worn." Xun Shuzhi answered honestly.

"It's for your fourth sister." Fang said, "Who would have thought that you sisters are the most blessed girl. She gave birth to two brothers in a row. The third girl has only got one sister and the eldest girl, hey, it's even more amazing."

Xun Shufang's face suddenly changed.

"If you press this old clothes under the pillow, you can win a man in one fell swoop." Fang told Xun Shulan in his ear.

Xun Shulan was shy and asked someone to take the package.

After a while, a banquet was held. Cai Luan and Xiu Feng greeted the maids who followed him to the room to have dinner. Madam Xu and Kikyo refused to leave, so they asked the little girls to go to have dinner. Xun Shuzhi kept a little girl and asked Yue Gui, who was already dressed as a woman, to take people down to have dinner. Two big girls were left on Xun Shulan, while Xun Shufang left only Madam Zhou and a maid.

After just two dishes were served, a little girl blinked at Grandma Xun at the door. Grandma Xun saw it, and nodded, then walked to Xun Shufang.

Xun Shufang put down her chopsticks and raised her hand to stroke her forehead.

"Grandma Xun is uncomfortable? Do you want to go and rest for a while?" Grandma Xun said with concern.

"Okay," Xun Shufang stood up and said, "I have always felt dizzy lately."

Grandma Xun helped Xun Shufang out and handed it to the little girl, then turned around and came back.

Fang was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything.

"Madam, the prince sent someone to send a message saying that there was something wrong in the mansion and he was going back." After a while, a girl came in and said to Xun Shulan.

Xun Shulan hurriedly stood up.

"Mom, if something happens in the house, my daughter has to go back."

Fang put down his chopsticks and was very reluctant to leave, "I have just come here for a while, so I can't stay for a while."

"Mom." Xun Shulan shouted.

Fang sighed, "Okay."

Fang followed Xun Shulan and kept reminding her.

Xun Qingran felt bored and stood up to say goodbye, and Xun Shuzhi followed.

Xun Qingran and Xun Shuzhi walked out together, so they had to talk about family matters.

"Second sister carried Yue Gui as her aunt?"

Xun Shuzhi nodded, "A lot of things have come from her care over the years. She is getting older and I need help."

Xun Shuzhi showed a little confidence as she spoke, which was something she had never seen before.

It seems that Xun Shuzhi has finally made it through the years.

"Three sisters," Xun Shuzhi pulled Xun Qingran and a little girl next to her brought a package over.

"This is what Brother Duan has ever worn. I have chosen the best one. I left a set for my third sister, which I made by myself." Xun Shuzhi smiled, "I don't know if it's useful. The third sister doesn't dislike it, so she just keeps it and just treats it as a good omen."

Xun Qingran was a little unexpected, but immediately smiled and asked Kikyo to take it over.

"Thank you, second sister."

Xun Shuzhi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and her face showed joy.

"We sisters, I don't have much to do. I remember the good things of my third sister." Xun Shuzhi said.

Yue Gui came over to urge him, and Xun Shuzhi turned around and left.

"Grandma's car is still there." Kikyo pointed to the gorgeous horse carriage lane that was listening.
