Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

"I also heard Xu Guiren casually mentioning her brother a few times. When she entered the palace, her brother was still young, only seven or eight years old. She often praised her brother for being smart. If the family had money, he could be sent to the academy to study. There's nothing wrong with being a Jinshi."

Mother Xu recalled what Xu Guiren had said to her at that time, and sighed as she spoke.

"Xu Guiren is also a poor man. After giving birth to His Royal Highness King Jin, he began to become unhappy, and in the end it turned out... oh..."

Mother Xu was silent for a moment and then said: "I was by her side before Xu Guiren died, and she also told me that if I have the opportunity to see her younger brother in the future, I must convey a word to her: Say she misses them very much, Let them live in peace. But you said that even Prince Rui can't find someone, how can I have the ability to have a chance to meet them. "

Qi Qingxi didn't speak. If Chen Wenze is really Xu Guiren's younger brother, she can help convey this.

After chatting with Nanny Xu, Qi Qingxi called Ginkgo again and asked her about Chen Wenze.

According to Ginkgo, when she went to a ravine to collect firewood, she accidentally rescued Chen Wenze who fell unconscious from the mountain.

Afterwards, Chen Wenze recuperated at her home. After recovering from illness, Chen Wenze became a teacher in Ginkgo's village.

But Chen Wenze suddenly left one day without saying goodbye, and the next goodbye was when there was a restaurant in the capital.

Qi Qingxi asked: "Then has he mentioned to you any relatives in the family?"

Ginkgo thought for a moment: "He seems to have said that his parents are gone, and his sister married far away, and seems to have disappeared. But his sister seems to have a son named Jin."

Qi Qingxi asked her again: "Gold of gold?"

Gingko shook her head: "I saw him write that character. I used to only know the Japanese character with a sun on the lower half, but now I know it's a Jin character, Jin from Jinzhou."

Qi Qingxi remembered that there was a Jin character in King Jin's real name, Li Qijin.

A sister who married far away, and a nephew with the character Jin in the name, whose surname is Chen, and the character Ze in the name.

How can there be such a coincidence in the world.

But why did Chen Wenze not recognize King Jin, instead he ran to King An and became a counselor.

Qi Qingxi felt that if he could figure out the crux of it, he might be able to cut off the entanglement between Chen Wenze and King An.

Qi Qingxi decided to find a date to ask Chen Wenze out, no matter how much he guessed, it would be better to ask him directly.

If Chen Wenze had any doubts, she would directly quote Xu Guiren's last words and ask him to come directly to see Nanny Xu. Nanny Xu had indeed served Xu Guiren by his side.

After solving this matter, Qi Qingxi is going to take a walk in the nearby yard.

As soon as she entered the mansion, she ordered Sequoia to send someone to tidy up the courtyard on the south side of Xikuayuan for Princess Anning to live in. She always had to take a look in person to really feel at ease.

However, when Qi Qingxi arrived at the yard, he found that the yard had already been tidied up, and even the potted flowers had been rearranged.

Li Yu, the eunuch next to Princess Anning, came forward to say hello to Qi Qingxi with a smile on her face: "Madam, the location of the courtyard here is very good, you are interested. Our family also ordered people to arrange it a little according to the preferences of Her Highness the Princess."

Qi Qingxi walked into the room and looked at all the items inside. Even a small teacup was an extraordinary item from the official kiln. Is this called a little decoration?

That's good too, lest when An Ning asks her for something and she can't get it out, it will be embarrassing.

After seeing the courtyard where Princess Anning lived, Qi Qingxi asked Li Yu by the way if Princess Anning had any taboos about eating.

Li Yu smiled and bowed his head in salute: "His Royal Highness has already explained to the servant that she will eat whatever you and Master Gu eat."

Qi Qingxi smiled, this girl is not very old, she speaks and acts like a likable person.

"Then what does the princess like to eat?"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Qingxi realized something was wrong.

She also heard Huang Mama talk about the rules in the palace, and the nobles in the palace would not easily reveal their preferences to others.

Especially when it comes to eating, extra attention is paid in order to prevent others from making a fuss about it.

Li Yu replied respectfully without hesitation: "His Royal Highness likes to eat sweets, likes to eat meat, and doesn't like to eat vegetables."

When it comes to food, An Ning's taste is very similar to Gu Yu's, except that Gu Yu doesn't shy away from eating vegetables.

Qi Qingxi looked at Li Yu in a little surprise, and Li Yu smiled: "His Royal Highness also told the servant that you are my own family, and we should treat you as we treat her."

It has to be said that this dragon had nine sons, and the sons were different.

Looking at An Ning, and thinking of her two brothers who only know how to calculate each other all day long, it's no wonder that An Ning is so favored in front of Emperor Qitai.

It's hard not to love the little princess who can talk and do things and is not arrogant.

Qi Qingxi decided to cook by herself and cook some delicious food for her lovely sister-in-law.

In the kitchen, the chefs and cooks who were busy preparing for dinner saw Qi Qingxi, they hurriedly put down their things and came forward to salute.

"Don't be too polite."

Qi Qingxi waved his hand indifferently, and went to check the vegetables in the kitchen.

The cooks had already washed and prepared most of the vegetables, presumably besides a few of them, they also had to prepare food for other people in the house.

Qi Qingxi sympathized with them, and simply picked some vegetables, fruits and meat she needed, and went back to the small kitchen in their yard to cook.

I haven't cooked for a long time, but fortunately, the skills are not unfamiliar, and I quickly made a table of delicious dishes.

Qi Qingxi had already sent someone to invite Princess Anning and Gu Yu back, and she also took this opportunity to go back to her room to clean up the oily fumes on her body and change her clothes.

When Qi Qingxi returned to the dining room to prepare for dinner, the brother and sister Gu Yu were already sitting at the dining table, waiting for her to eat together.

Ever since An Ning sat down at the table, she has been salivating all the time attracted by the fragrant, bright and full dishes on the table.

It wasn't until Qi Qingxi came to the table and Gu Yu spoke, that she finally stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the dishes that had tempted her for a long time.

Taking a bite, An Ning immediately gave Qi Qingxi a thumbs up, completely ignoring the rules of not talking when eating or sleeping: "Sister-in-law, the dishes you cook are simply better than the imperial chefs in the palace."

"Then I dare not take it."

Qi Qingxi is still very self-aware. The colorful and full dishes she cooked today are all made according to An Ning's preferences, and they are just opportunistic.

Gu Yu responded bluntly: "There's nothing to be afraid of. If the craftsmanship is not good, you won't be hard-pressed to get a restaurant business."

The next day is the day when the three dynasties return to the door.

Although it was less than [-] meters away from the next door, the Li Mansion hung up a large string of firecrackers solemnly, waiting for Gu Yu and his wife to enter the door, the servants in the mansion lit the firecrackers, and there was a lot of noise for a long time.

Everyone in the Li family, together with Qi Yunming and his brother and sister, had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, especially Qi Nuan, who threw himself into Qi Qingxi's arms when he saw her.

She has been thinking about her elder sister every night for the past few days, thinking that she can't sleep, and even yesterday afternoon she almost asked Princess An Ning to take her to the next door to meet her elder sister.

"If Ah Nuan can't bear to part with your elder sister, why don't you move in next door to live with me, and Ah Yue, the three of us live together, so that I don't have to run around."

Princess Anning's voice came from far behind, and everyone hurried forward to salute Princess Anning.

When there are many people, Princess An Ning has the air of a princess. With a wave of her sleeves, she avoids everyone's salute.

The girl An Ning said she would not steal the limelight from their husband and wife, but immediately followed her. Gu Yu shook her head helplessly as she looked at her younger sister.

While everyone was sitting in the living room chatting, An Ning had already dragged Ah Nuan and Ah Yue to play in the garden, and Qi Qingxi was also dragged by Mrs. Guo to her yard to have a private conversation.

Guo Shi asked Qi Qingxi with a little deep meaning: "How is Zi Cong treating you?"

Qi Qingxi failed to understand Guo's deep meaning, and nodded with a smile in response: "Very good."

Seeing Qi Qingxi's appearance, Guo knew that she didn't understand, held Qi Qingxi's sign language and said earnestly: "Don't blame your aunt for nagging, but your mother left early and didn't have time to teach you these things, so I'm the only one who treats you. She babbled a few words."

She went on to say: "A girl's body is delicate, so she must speak up in time when she feels uncomfortable. You can't let a man mess around. If your body breaks down, you will suffer a lifetime of punishment."

Although Guo's words were cryptic, Qi Qingxi still understood, and couldn't help feeling a little hot on the ground.

Immediately, she couldn't help feeling funny again. If it was in the past, she wouldn't blush even when others made some explicit jokes in front of her, but now she is more and more conservative.

She nodded to Mrs. Guo, and cleared her throat uncomfortably: "Understood, auntie."

*

After getting married, it is no different than when she was not married, and Qi Qingxi became the head of the house as soon as she got married, and there are still many housework to deal with at home.

Therefore, the Gu couple had lunch at Li's house and returned to their own home.And Princess Anning, of course, continued to play in Li's mansion where someone accompanied her to play.

Gu Yu originally wanted to go to the study to deal with business, but thinking that he would return to the Yamen to be on duty tomorrow, he decided to go back to the backyard to accompany his wife.

On the contrary, Qi Qingxi was busy checking the accounts of the mansion, but had no time to pay attention to Gu Yu, so Gu Yu picked up the book and sat next to her to read.

The husband and wife read a book and the account book, and although they had no time to talk, they were very harmonious.

It wasn't until sunset and the sky gradually darkened that the husband and wife put down their things and prepared to have dinner.

Princess An Ning has already sent a message that she will have dinner in Li's residence and then go back to the residence to rest, so that the husband and wife don't have to wait for her.

Fortunately, the Li Mansion and the Gu Mansion are close, and there are many guards around the princess, so there is no need to worry about safety.

After Gu Yu and his wife rested for a while after dinner, they were ready to wash up and rest.

Qi Qingxi returned to the inner room after taking a bath, only to find that Gu Yu had already finished washing and was lying on the bed. When she approached, he pulled her into his arms, so scared that Qi Qingxi couldn't help but screamed out.

With a smirk, Gu Yu pulled her hand to her lips and kissed it, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You started calling before you did anything?"

Qi Qingxi was so angry that she turned her head and bit Gu Yu's ear lightly as punishment, but Gu Yu snorted, turned around and threw her under him.

In the red gauze tent, the mandarin ducks crossing their necks are turned red.

It wasn't until dawn that the husband and wife tossed and fell asleep.

However, after two hours of sleep, Gu Yu was about to get up again.

Qi Qingxi has always been shallow, even though Gu Yu tried not to make a sound when she got up, it still woke her up.

She looked at Gu Yu with sleepy eyes, remembering that she forgot to tell the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Gu Yu yesterday.

Gu Yu stepped forward to wrap the corner of the quilt for her, lowered her head and said softly at the corner of her lips: "Gu Liang knows my living habits, he will arrange it, you don't have to worry, just take a good rest."

Qi Qingxi narrowed her eyes and nodded, then went back to sleep.

In a daze, she seemed to hear Gu Yu telling the maids outside not to come and disturb her at will.

Because of this, Qi Qingxi was able to sleep peacefully until he woke up naturally.

It was almost noon when she woke up, and it was time for lunch after she finished washing.

An Ning had already sent someone to leave a message for her, saying that she went to the girls' school with Ah Yue and Ah Nuan, and would not come back for lunch.

Although she is the only one in the family today, there are still a lot of things waiting for her to deal with.

It was only yesterday that she was able to sort out the account books she brought over. Fortunately, Mrs. Guo had brought her to meet the stewards of various Zhuangzi shops before she got married.

Starting today, she not only has to sort out the account books of the Gu family that Gu Yu handed over to her, but also needs to see the stewards that she should see.

When the servants of the mansion carried several large boxes containing the account books to her room, everyone in Qi Qingxi was scared to death.

She randomly opened a box and looked through a few account books...

When Guo Shi handed over the property distributed to Qi's brothers and sisters to Qi Qingxi, she had already made her speechless once.

This time she was really surprised.

The account books in her hand belonged to several shops located in the bustling area of ​​the capital.

Two of them, Qi Qingxi, were very impressive. They were the ones she and Shao Hua had been optimistic about at Xisi Pailou before, and they were the most suitable two shops with a restaurant branch.

However, their business is also booming, and they know that others will not rent it to them without even asking.

Unexpectedly, these two stores are actually owned by Gu Yu.

No wonder when Gu Yu heard that she was going to open a branch at Xisi Pailou, she said that she would help her find a shop.

But she didn't think these were big things, and she didn't want to waste Gu Yu's time, so she refused Gu Yu's help.

Qi Qingxi opened other boxes, and casually flipped through some of the books inside, all of which were account books of Zhuangzi's property.

She suddenly remembered the wooden box that Gu Yu gave her the night before yesterday, which she randomly placed in the corner at the end of the bed.

She immediately called Sequoia and Ginkgo to help her move the box out of the corner of the bed, while she turned around and went to the dowry box on the dressing table to find the key to the box that Gu Yu handed to her when she brought the box.
