Autumn in the north is getting colder every day, and in winter it can be so cold that people can’t speak. Mrs. Guo is discussing with the servant girl Wei Mama around her to find the famous Jinduante tailor in the capital to come and make some autumn and winter clothes for the children. clothing.

Qi Qingxi came to Guo Shi and asked her about the current residence of Qi Zhifu.

When Guo sent someone to verify the identities of the brothers and sisters of the Qi family, he already knew about the exchange of money between Qi Qingxi and the daughter of the prefect's family.

But I heard that since Qi Qingxi returned to Ansui, Qi Zhifu's family has never asked about Qi Qingxi, and they have no contact with each other. Why do they want to inquire about their residence now?

Qi Qingxi didn't hide it from Guo Shi: "I borrowed a sum of money when I came out from Zhifu's house, and I wanted to pay it back, but Master Qi has already been promoted to the capital. The money is paid back."

Mrs. Guo pondered for a moment, and said: "I sent someone to inquire about it. I will pay back the money owed to others, but do you have enough money to pay?"

"That's enough. Although my shop in Ansui is small, the business is pretty good and I've made some money."

"Speaking of business, when we came back, we agreed to do business in partnership. It just so happened that my natal family married me with a few shops. Let's take some time to take a look. You go and see which shop is good and what kind of business is suitable for it. "

Qi Qingxi understands Guo's good intentions, but she knows that most of the dowry shops are already managed by someone, and Guo just needs to sit at home and wait for the income, and there is no need to ruin others for her unfinished business of making a living.

She wanted to find a new shop. Even if she didn't have so much money to buy it, she could rent it first. She had to start the business before she could think about other things.

"If you don't like those shops, you can find another shop you like and buy them. Your mother still has a dowry left by your uncle."

Mrs. Guo suddenly remembered that her general took back the family property taken away by the enemy after avenging her father back then, and even divided it out specially to give it to sister-in-law as a dowry. Now that sister-in-law is gone, it is natural It should be given to these children.

Qi Qingxi didn't expect such a good thing as heaven's windfall.

It's a pity that she is not Li Shi's real daughter, so naturally she shouldn't take the money Li Shi left for her children.

Besides, she was finally able to repay the previous loan, and she still had some spare money to rent a shop for business. She didn't want to live in debt again.

She wants to make money and buy a house slowly by her own ability.

But Qi Qingxi didn't tell Guo Shi about her plans, because she knew that Guo Shi was raising them like her own children, and she was afraid that Guo Shi would worry about it after she knew about it.

On the second day, Mrs. Guo inquired about Qi Zhifu's current residence.

Qi Zhifu is now a doctor of the household department of the fifth rank, and only officials of the fourth rank and above go to the court. He does not have to rush to the daily court meeting so he does not live in the inner city, but lives in the Caijia Hutong in the Zhengxifang of the outer city.

Knowing that Qi Qingxi was going out, Guo specially arranged a carriage for her.

The carriage shuttled through the streets of the capital, and after traveling for half an hour, it finally arrived at Qi's Mansion in Cai's Hutong.

"This little brother, my surname is Qi, and I want to find Mrs. Qi in my family." Qi Qingxi announced his family name and asked the concierge to help pass the news.

The concierge looked at Qi Qingxi a few times, she couldn't see her face clearly with the veiled hat, but she could see her clothes.

The clothes are not as good as that of a concierge like him, and he doesn't even have a maid to serve him, let alone find someone to do errands without even a copper coin, most likely they are poor relatives who came to fight the autumn wind.

The concierge felt contemptuous, and intentionally made things difficult for Qi Qingxi, and gave her a contemptuous look: "Is your surname Qi? I'll report it, just wait."

Then he closed the door with a "slap" and blocked Qi Qingxi from the door.

Qi Qingxi waited outside the door for a long time but there was no movement inside the door, so she knocked on the door again.

Seeing that it was Qi Qingxi who opened the door, he immediately said impatiently: "Didn't I tell you to wait, why knock?"

Seeing the concierge's attitude, Qi Qingxi didn't understand what else, she was angry, she just wanted to finish the matter quickly, so as to save another trip.

"My name is Qi Qingxi, and I'm here to pay back the money. Please do me a favor and pass it on quickly." She said patiently.

"Qingxi, Axi?"

When Qi Qingxi heard someone calling her from behind, she turned her head and saw that the person who came was Qi Jingxian, the third son of Qi Zhifu's family.

"Third brother." Qi Qingxi called him third brother according to his original memory.

Hearing this familiar voice, Qi Jingxian immediately walked beside her happily: "When did you come to the capital? Why don't you go in at the door?"

Qi Qingxi glanced at the concierge, skipped Qi Jingxian's first question and answered his second question.

"I want to go in, but the concierge seems to be very busy and doesn't have time to help me pass the message."

Qi Jingxian kicked at the concierge when he heard the words: "The blind thing, this is my sister, how dare you treat her like this."

"Third Master, please spare the little one. I thought this young lady was some poor relative who came to play Qiufeng. I didn't let the lady in because I was afraid of offending my wife."

The concierge held his leg and groaned secretly, he didn't know that his young master had such a poor girl.

Qi Qingxi was a little speechless, she looked like she came to fight the autumn wind?

She lowered her head and glanced at herself, then looked at Qi Jingxian who was wearing silk and satin next to him, he must have cost two or thirty taels to say the least.

And her clothes were bought from shopkeeper Xu's shop before, and they didn't cost a tael of silver.

Qi Qingxi suddenly realized, no wonder when she went to see Mrs. Guo yesterday, Mrs. Guo was discussing asking a tailor to make new clothes for them.

"It turns out that there are still such rules in the capital."

"What rule?" Qi Jingxian looked at Qi Qingxi suspiciously.

Qi Qingxi looked at the concierge with a smile and said: "It's the rule that you can't even enter the house if you dress so well, isn't it?"

Qi Jingxian's face darkened when he heard the words, and he kicked the porter again, until he calmed down, and then brought Qi Qingxi into the mansion.

The two walked along the hand corridor to the main room, chatting while walking.

"I haven't seen you for more than a year. Our Axi has grown into a big girl."

Qi Qingxi took off the veiled hat after entering the door, and Qi Jingxian raised his hand to rub her head while talking.

In the memory of the original body, although the third brother has a bad temper and is perfunctory to everyone, he is extremely patient and doting to this younger sister whom he lost when he was a child.

It was also mentioned in the original book that after knowing that Qi Qingxi was not the real daughter, Qi Jingxian felt that he caused her to be separated from her biological parents for many years, and instead treated her better.

He is also the only one who still remembers her after the death of the original body, and mourns her every year.

Of course, because of his guilt, he also responded to Qi Qingqing's real sister, and even sacrificed his life in order to help Qi Qingqing's sweetheart win the throne.
