In mid-February, Qi Zhe followed the caravan all the way to Beixun. When the spring was warm and flowers were blooming, every household was drying out the wheat and corn that had been stored for the whole winter, and Sedan's house was no exception.

The carriage was parked in a yard, and the two rows of benches around it were covered with piles of golden corn and wheat. An elderly man greeted him kindly, speaking in a language that Qi Zhi could not understand.

"My father said that friends from afar are welcome."

Sedan's tone was very brisk, which made the restrained Qi Ting relax a little.

Followed by a piece of seedlings that came down, they hugged the old man affectionately, and then confidently talked about their achievements in Beixun dialect.As an outsider, Qi Zhi couldn't integrate into such a warm family atmosphere, so he took a few steps back wisely to make the smile on his face as cordial and natural as possible.

The long reunion made the father and daughter forget about other people talking, Sedan found Qi Bing who was left out in the cold, and whispered a few words to the old man, the father and daughter came back to their senses and apologized: "This guest, My lord, Muragoti, is the owner of this room, but you see, although I have been to the north and south of Dayu." Having said this, Muragoti shrugged his shoulders, trying hard to let the disobedient tongue set the standard of flat hair, "But it's still hard to say what you said, let my children accompany you to appreciate the scenery of our place."

Qi Ping raised his head and saw the old man's appearance clearly. His gray hair was not neatly combed like Dayu's but was tied at the back casually. His gray beard covered most of his face like a pile of grass, and his skin was rough and dark. , I heard it mentioned that Muragoti had a daughter when she was in her 50s, so she should be in her early [-]s, and her body looks very strong.

Lowering his eyes and nodding his thanks, the servants had already moved the salutes in the carriage back to the house, the sky was dark and it was time for dinner, taking advantage of the short interval in the middle, Aimiao took Qi Zhi to visit his house one by one some.

Sha Kejiang originally wanted to follow behind, but he could only obediently stay in the back room to take inventory of the goods because of Yan Miao Baiyan. He was like a domestic dog whose territory was invaded by a stranger, and he made no secret of his vigilance and rejection of the intruder .But fortunately, other than him, other people are very friendly to Qi Zhe.

The whole mansion occupies a large area. In addition to the houses for people to live in, there are several earthen houses for storage in the backyard. I took a brief look at the yard with Qi Yi, and I still couldn't help asking the doubts in my heart. .

In the past few days, a group of people rushed back to Beixun day and night, and Yan Miao clearly noticed that Sedan had something to hide. As the most authoritative person in the family except Muragoti, He Miao admired and was a little afraid of Sedan since he was a child. , since the other party deliberately didn't talk about Yi Miao, of course he didn't dare to ask more.

I wanted to ask Qi Ping several times, but Sedan was very caring about Qi Ping. Apart from visiting the carriage from time to time to greet him along the way, he also sent a guard to guard beside the carriage, so that Qi Miao couldn't find a chance to inquire about it, and he went deeper. cleared the doubts in my heart.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yan Miao casually picked up a dead branch, played with it in his hand and said, "Miss Wen and my eldest brother are old acquaintances? My eldest brother is usually very serious, and it's really rare that he is so warm to people." After finishing speaking, he wrinkled his nose, "He is very serious with his sister-in-law."

Seeing her angry look, I'm afraid she wants to go elsewhere, Qi Ping burst out laughing, and explained: "Your elder brother and I just have a relationship, please don't misunderstand, Ms. Yanmiao."

Yan Miao scratched her nose with her hand in embarrassment, and asked with great interest: "Yuanyuan? So that means Miss Wen knew her elder brother before? Let me just say, when you first met, it was unusual."

"Well, I met once at Dayu." As for his savior, Qi Ping didn't want to lie to her, and he didn't want to make things more complicated. For the next explanation, Qi Zhi could only smile wryly and said: "It's a long story, it's getting late, everyone should wait for us to eat, and I'll talk slowly when I have time."

Although he was a bit disappointed, his stomach was already empty after a long day of hard work. He Miao immediately accepted Qi Yi’s proposal and returned to the living room. A long wooden table was filled with freshly baked mutton and naan bread. Washing the dust is also to welcome the guests from afar, and Muragoti specially took out the long-aged fruit wine to celebrate.

The fruit wine uses home-grown grapes as raw material, and the taste is sweet and mellow. People in the northern Xun who are good at drinking wine often drink it all in one toast with Qi Ping, so Qi Ping can only bite the bullet and drink a lot.

After half a round of drinking, everyone's faces were covered with joy, and Sedan saw the slightly drunk Qi Zhe ordered the servant to replace her with a cup of mare's milk, and said in a small voice that could be heard by everyone: "Miss Wen, You can rest here with peace of mind these few days, and come into the palace with me once in a few days."

The mind that was still dizzy before became sober in an instant. Sedan had already lowered his head to eat the mutton on the plate, but he couldn't calm down next to him, and hurriedly asked, "Enter the palace? Why did eldest brother bring Miss Wen into the palace?"

Sedan flicked the minced mutton in his hand, and replied inadvertently: "Miss Wen and the concubine are old acquaintances. The concubine has always been homesick and sad. I want to bring Miss Wen to meet the concubine. Maybe it can be explained." Hurt."

"It turns out that we are old acquaintances with the princess, okay." Muragoti said in blunt Dayu's words: "It just so happens that this time, Miao Miao brought a few bolts of high-quality silk from Dayu, and I will send them together at that time, so that they can be given to the princess. Pick it."

"Good father." Sedan looked at Qi Zhi with a questioning look, waiting for her answer.

Qi Ping put down the naan bread in his hand, pretending to be calm and nodded, "Okay, I have to trouble Lord Sedan."

An Nai, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Brother, I want to go together too." In order not to let Sedan refuse him, he added, "The princess asked me to go to Dayu to find the satin, and I finally gave it to him. I found it, and this time I will bring it to the princess."

Hearing that it was about Chang'er, Qi Wei couldn't help asking curiously: "Satin? Is it Qingsi brocade or Xueling?"

"It would be much easier to find such famous silks and satins." Yan Miao shook his head, "The princess just described the feel and texture. I took all the similar high-quality silks and satins here, but nothing was found. Later, I had no choice but to take them. I sent Rob over there, but I didn't expect that the princess really wanted it."

"Robu..." Qi Zhi only felt that the deep part of his heart was stabbed hard, "It's just the fabric of the people of Dayu."

"That's not it." Yan Miao echoed, "This fabric was brought back a few years ago, because the texture is too hard and not warm, people in the palace don't like it very much, and there is only this one left after selling it, Wangfei I was very happy to see it, and I even ordered the blue color."

The guilt and annoyance that had been silent for a long time swept over again. How could she forget the blue Robe? The first gift she hated to Qi Xiao when she went to Wanlong Street was a green Robe cotton padded jacket, which she could use regardless of etiquette. Holding her forehead with her hand, she made a loud noise, which startled the talking girl, and leaned over to support her shoulder with concern, "Miss Wen, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Qi Bing blinked hard and tried to smile, "I feel dizzy all of a sudden."

"Probably because you are tired from the journey. Miss Wen, don't be restrained. If you are tired, go back to your room to rest. The servants have already tidied up the house." Sedan saw that Qi's face was pale, and he didn't seem to be fine at all, so he ordered his servants to take Qi's Leave the table and go back to the house to rest.

Yan Miao looked worried about Qi Ping, and wanted to go with her, but Qi Ping patted the back of her hand to express his reassurance, then turned around and left the living room in a hurry.

At this moment, she just wants to be alone, as she did many times in the past, to slowly calm down the guilt surging in her heart.
