Herb Family [Rebirth]

When Lu Qi and Bai Heng came to Beijing this time, they hoped to be the companions of King Su's son.

It is fine to say that they take advantage of the situation, but if they want to leave the Lu family, it is impossible to do so without a strong backer.Furthermore, if Lu Qi didn't win the position of companion this time, the Lu family and the Xu family would not let him go.

The reason why Mrs. Lu's attitude towards Lu Qi changed was because she needed Lu Qi to help the Xu family and the Lu family. That is to say, Lu Qi had something to use, so she changed her previous neglect.

But if Lu Qi doesn't live up to his expectations and cannot enter Su Wang's mansion, then he will be useless to Mrs. Lu, and his life in the Lu family will not be easy after all.

Coupled with the previous incident of "recognizing relatives with blood", the old man and Uncle Lu must have some pimples in their hearts. Besides, the old man and Uncle Lu are not back-home women. With Madam Lu's method, if she really wants to Rubbing Lu Qi and the others couldn't see it either.

Both Lu Qi and Bai Heng wanted this, so they said they had to successfully enter Su Wang's mansion.

And now they were lucky enough to meet someone from the Qi family on the way, which added some help to their success, because according to the news sent back by the third master Bai, it can be known that Qi Shilang and King Su have a private friendship Not bad, if Minister Qi can say something good for Lu Qi, then Lu Qi can be selected steadily.

It's just that it's not easy for Lu Qi to ask Qi Lei directly, so how to talk to Qi Shilang naturally through Qi Lei is what they have to worry about.

Although they took the Qi family with them, according to Qi Shilang's scheming, they should be able to see through their intentions very quickly. If Qi Shilang sends them away with money, no one can say that he is wrong.

Therefore, Lu Qi and Bai Heng began to worry, how can Qi Shilang be willing to help them? ...

They racked their brains along the way, but they couldn't think of any way to get the best of both worlds.Bai Heng had some thoughts in his heart, but in order to match his immature appearance, he had no choice but to guide Lu Qi without any trace, but it was hard to tell the solution directly.

While the two of them were desperately using their brains, Nie Wanxiang was also desperately trying to find a way to hook up with Lu Qi.

When resting at the inn, Manager Xiao Lu was very strict, and no one else could get close to the two young masters' upper rooms. Besides, she was too embarrassed to go directly to the door as a girl.

All she could think of was to get Young Master Lu's attention and make Young Master Lu come to her on his own initiative.

But she can't even see Young Master Lu, how can she get his attention?After thinking for a long time, Nie Wanxiang only came up with some faint tricks, either throwing a handkerchief on Lu Qi's only way, or playing the piano in the middle of the night.

This piano was brought from Nie's house by her, and it was regarded as Mrs. Nie's relic, and she kept it with her all the time.However, her piano skills are not good, after all, she has just learned the piano not long ago, so it is impossible for her to have such advanced fingering skills.

But it's not a problem to talk about a piece of music.

Therefore, Nie Wanxiang thought she had found a good way, and then every evening, she started to play the piano, and she would specially run to Lu Qi's window, hoping that Lu Qi would be attracted by her piano sound.

Her actions soon spread to Qi Lei's ears, Qi Lei was naturally very ashamed, so he quickly asked Madam Qi to stop Nie Wanxiang's actions, where is there a girl who runs out of a man's window to play the piano every night?

Mrs. Qi was also shocked when she heard this. She never thought that her niece would be so big-hearted that she wanted to climb up to Young Master Lu.

But after thinking about it, with the ostentation of the Lu family team, it's no wonder that Nie Wanxiang's shallow eyelids are tempted.It's just that my husband said that this Lu family has a lot of background, even though it's just a merchant family in Tongcheng, but Young Master Lu's natal family is the Xu family in the capital.

Besides, why Young Master Lu came to Beijing this time, Qi Lei and his wife have also discussed in private, maybe it is for the sake of Prince Su's son to choose a companion.

After all, Assistant Minister Qi wanted Qi Lei and his family to come to Beijing, so naturally he made up some relationship between the aristocratic families in the capital in the letter, as well as several major events in the capital recently, so that it would be bad if Qi Lei accidentally missed the nobleman. up.

Therefore, Su Wangfu wanted to choose a companion for the son, and Qi Shilang also hinted in the letter. I didn't expect Qi Lei to be transparent and intelligent. When he heard that Lu Qi came from Tongcheng, he matched him with the Xu family in the capital. .

Then he guessed the purpose of his trip to the capital.

After guessing Lu Qi's identity and purpose, Qi Lei naturally had a friendly attitude, but when his niece did something like this, Qi Lei was of course furious.

After getting Qi Lei's order, Mrs. Qi hurried to the room of Nie Wanxiang and the old lady.

At this time, they were not far from the capital, and they could enter the capital tomorrow afternoon. Tonight was the last time to rest at the inn, so it would be bad for Nie Wanxiang to disturb Young Master Lu's rest.

Because it is close to the capital, the name of the Xu family is also easy to use, so this time, Manager Xiaolu rented a large courtyard of the inn without any effort, just in time for a group of people to live in.

Lu Qi and Bai Heng originally wanted to have a good relationship with the Qi family, so they offered to give up the largest room to Mrs. Qi, and the two of them moved into another slightly smaller room.

Qi Lei and Madam Qi lived in other rooms with their two sons, and the servants also lived in the servant's room.

After the room was arranged, Nie Wanxiang came out to play the piano again, but this time she didn't play for long before Mrs. Qi came.

When Nie Wanxiang heard that her aunt was coming, she frowned and had to stop her hands playing the piano. Mrs. Qi walked up to Nie Wanxiang, and without being polite to her, she said directly: "Wanxiang, your uncle said that you hear it every night. The sound of you playing the piano disturbed his sleep, you have practiced hard enough along the way, you should rest early tonight."

Nie Wanxiang turned pale, her aunt really came to stop her, when she saw no one to stop her a few times ago, she thought that her uncle and aunt also acquiesced in her behavior, that's why she became more and more unrestrained.

But now my aunt jumped out and said that she disturbed my uncle's sleep.

The more Nie Wanxiang thought about it, the angrier she became. Uncle is worthy of being the son of his grandmother. Both mother and son acted in the same way. Both gave people hope, but they broke it with their own hands. If uncle was really disturbed in his sleep, why didn't he bring it up in the morning?

Nie Wanxiang felt that she had lost all face in front of the servants, so she muttered, "Xiang'er can save you." She covered her face and rushed into the room whimpering.

In the room, Mrs. Qi was sitting on the soft couch leaning on the pillow, and she was enjoying Nie Wanxiang's zither, when she saw her rush in crying suddenly, she was naturally extremely surprised.

"What's wrong with Xiang'er?" Mrs. Qi called her to her side and asked kindly.

Nie Wanxiang threw herself into the arms of the old lady, and choked and told the story. After hearing this, the old lady felt a little displeased with her daughter-in-law. Although the old lady had given up her plan to let Nie Wanxiang marry into the Qi family, the old lady It is not without complaints in my heart.

The old lady always believed that it was Mrs. Qi who encouraged Qi Lei to sing against her. Although sons and grandsons are much more important than Xiang'er, compared to granddaughters and daughter-in-laws, of course granddaughters are more important.

After all, her granddaughter is her blood. How can a daughter-in-law be compared to an outsider?

Besides, because Nie Wanxiang couldn't enter Qi's house, the old lady doted on her even more. Now, after hearing her cry, she naturally thought that it was Madam Qi who had nothing to do to find fault, and even wanted to deprive Nie Wanxiang of her interest in playing the piano.

So the old lady said lightly: "You want to practice the piano because of your hard work. Don't worry about what your uncle and aunt say, just play it at ease. If they have any objections, let them come to me, the old lady."

Nie Wanxiang got the assurance from the old lady, so she laughed through her tears. After washing her face, she went to the yard to play the piano with her head up and her chest up.

Mrs. Qi thought that she had stopped Nie Wanxiang, but she heard the sound of the zither not long after. She was furious, and when she was about to stop Nie Wanxiang again, the maid beside her hurriedly stopped her.

"Madam, this servant feels that something is wrong, you should wait." Lu Rong, Madam Qi's personal servant girl, persuaded her.

"That little hoof has a big heart. Does this mean that no man will die? She is not ashamed and I feel ashamed for her. You say she plays the piano every night, who is she trying to seduce?" Mrs. Qi was furious. She kept her mouth shut and did not hide her dislike for Nie Wanxiang.

From the first day Nie Wanxiang stepped into Qi's house, Mrs. Qi didn't like her.Nie Wanxiang was only ten years old when she came to Qi's house, but Mrs. Qi saw in the other's eyes the calculation and greed that didn't suit her age.

But she didn't say anything, she just watched the other party's behavior with cold eyes. When she knew that the old lady had set her mind on her two sons, she was so angry that she wanted to have a big fight with the old lady.

But she knew that Qi Lei was a dutiful son, if she dared to disobey the old lady face to face, the husband and wife would split their hearts, so she endured it and played a roundabout tactic with the old lady, just to prevent the old lady from saying that she would hire Nie Wanxiang If you enter Qi's house.

At the same time, she also put a lot of effort into Qi Lei, causing Qi Lei to discover Nie Wanxiang's true nature, and after making Qi Lei feel tired of Nie Wanxiang, she euphemistically revealed that her mother-in-law wanted Nie Wanxiang to marry her son.

When Qi Lei heard this, of course he refused to agree, so he ran to find the old lady by himself.

Mrs. Qi wanted to pull herself out of it, but the old lady had lived for so many years and had seen too many schemes in the back house, so she couldn't see that Mrs. Qi's handwriting was there.

Therefore, because of Nie Wanxiang, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have knots in their hearts.

In addition, Nie Wanxiang is also capable, coaxing the old lady to be very happy, holding her in the palm of her hand and pampering her, even if she goes to Beijing to join Qi Shilang, she must bring Nie Wanxiang with her.

Originally, Qi Lei and his wife planned to help Nie Wanxiang find a family in Lucheng to make an appointment before departure, so that they would not have to take each other on the road, but the old lady would not let go, and they couldn't really get past the old lady Nie Wanxiang's marriage is settled.

After all, they are not Nie Wanxiang's parents.

In the end, I had no choice but to follow the old lady's wishes and take Nie Wanxiang on the road together.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qi felt even more suffocated. She didn't know what kind of soup Nie Wanxiang poured into the old lady, so that the old lady loved it so much, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she held it in her hand.

If she hadn't given birth to a son, she might have no place to stand in front of the old lady.
