The prince of buns

Although the things fell on the table, Master Qi, the master, had never touched them, so who would dare to go over to look at them so ignorantly?

So everyone just looked at each other like you look at me and I look at you.

Only Xue Huai was different. After all, he was the natal family of Princess Fuhe. As the old saying goes, the thunder in the sky is the uncle on the ground.

So he coughed hard and looked at Master Qi gradually becoming sharper.

Mr. Qi is being watched by so many people at the moment, and he feels his face is burning hot. The eldest son is dumb, but he can't read a few words. Since he brought all the certificates, how can he Need to go through it?

At this moment of stalemate, he can still think of a way to find the steps. If it is really opened, what can he do with the black and white words?

It's a pity that his unwritten son is afraid of something.

I saw Qi Mu'an rolled his eyes, "Why, you still don't believe that everything is brought here! Come, come, let me find it for you!"

After finishing speaking, he flipped through the two booklets regardless of what happened, and while everyone was whispering, he said to Master Qi: "Father, my son is not lying, my princess's wife also has this thing! Originally Well, big sister is overjoyed, it's auspicious and festive for us to gather things in pairs, who knows that it's so evil, seven or eight girls of all sizes in my room worked together, but they didn't find it, the daughter of the princess The warehouse told us to turn it upside down!"

Seven or eight girls, big and small, were intentionally mentioned in this remark, just to tell Mr. Qi that this matter can no longer be hidden from anyone, and the gossip channels among servants are quite well-developed. Except for the few present here today, I'm afraid that people in all the mansions all over the city will know about it soon.

Moreover, Qi Mu'an broke this matter out so bluntly and without restraint, it would be too late to think of a way to cover it up after Master Qi sent his guests away.

Seeing Master Qi's face turn from red to white, then from white to red and then blue again, Qi Mu'an decided to strike again.

"It's no big deal to lose a piece of embroidery. The most regrettable thing is that I can't make a pair with the one my parents prepared for my elder sister! What's even more annoying is that my son followed suit and picked out a few valuable things. Dad, guess what?" What's the matter? Curry didn't even have one! Couldn't it be that a thief came to the house! I don't know how much I lost at the moment. My son doesn't have enough manpower. , At this moment, there are about [-] people checking it together, and it is estimated that it will be all correct in two or three days at most! At that time, we will make a list of all the lost things and report it to the official! Check it out! Who is so daring to break ground on our family's head! I'm not afraid that this dirty money will be spent!"

Every time these words were uttered, Master Qi's face darkened by a third.

Brat, I have no other skills, but this bluffing skill is the greatest, and I even borrowed someone from his other children's room. That's great, I'm afraid I'm the last to know!

And this Qi Muan is also tricky enough, his focus has always been on the point of the theft of things, and the same message is revealed in his words, that is, he doesn't understand the preciousness of Huiwen at all, let alone the uniqueness of this thing .

Therefore, he has been anxiously catching thieves, even yelling to report to the officials, and everyone present has more and more points in their hearts, that is, the dowry of Wei Guogong's original wife has been swallowed by the Qi family, and he shamelessly posted it to the public. The daughter is married.

It's a fool to bully the only son of the original spouse!

Although these people are all friends of Master Qi, they are just wine and meat friends in the final analysis. When they eat wine, listen to plays and pick up girls together, they are called brothers and sisters. Everyone has their own thoughts in private, and some people can be said to be eager to wait. Look at the master's joke!

Seeing that things had turned out like this, it was naturally inconvenient for them to stay here anymore, so they made excuses to leave one after another, and in a blink of an eye, there were only three people left in the huge house, Mr. Qi, father and son, and Xue Huai.

Xue Huai's face turned completely cold at this time.

"Brother-in-law, the friendship between our two families has been a matter of several lifetimes. It has been passed down to our generation and has always been friendly and affectionate. Even if my sister died early, we still walk around like relatives these years. I, Xue Huai, respect you You, the word brother-in-law has never changed."

This is considered to be the point here, even if the subtext with the "but—" below is not spoken, it is impossible for Master Qi not to understand.

Who would have thought that Qi Mu'an was here to make trouble, once he heard that his uncle had buried his father, how could he agree to it!

Immediately, he confronted his uncle in a rough voice, "What does it mean that uncle speaks so eccentrically? Could it be that my father is willing to bring thieves at home? Can my father be in a hurry if my daughter's things are lost? Uncle won't help with this matter." It’s fine to catch a thief, why do you want to wrong a good person indiscriminately!”

Xue Huai shook his head and sighed, "Silly boy, your things will soon be calculated by others, and they will sell you later, and you still count the money for them!"

These words can be regarded as pointing directly at Master Qi as the culprit of embezzling his ex-wife's dowry.

Master Qi has been used to being flattered all his life, how could he have received such harsh words, not to mention that this is really an unwarranted disaster, he almost exploded his lungs!

Immediately put his face aside and said: "His second uncle, it happened suddenly, and I couldn't figure it out for a while. But you know my temper, I always say what I say, and I will investigate this matter immediately and keep it safe." Give your Xue family an explanation, what do you think?"

Xue Huai snorted dissatisfiedly, but did not object.

"I'm young, and I can't make up my mind about major matters. Let's take my leave and go back to ask my elder brother for instructions. We'll wait until the time comes to see if the thief's dirt can be brought out. If Master Qi is willing to cover up, our family's loss may be I can admit that I am unlucky and don't mention it, but the things that the royal family sent me are not to be neglected, and they have to be reported to the court."

After throwing the cruel words, he no longer has the patience to stay and argue with Master Qi. Seeing Qi Mu'an's performance is amazing, and he will naturally be able to hold on when he leaves.

Therefore, he walked away in a huff, leaving Qi Mu'an still in a daze to keep yelling at his father, "Father, do you think that the second uncle has drunk too much soup and gone crazy? How can I take out all my anger on you, really!"

Master Qi felt that he was about to have a stroke, and immediately he couldn't care about this silly son who was careless, and roared angrily towards the door.

"Come on! Call me that stupid woman with a dark belly and blind eyes!"

Someone vaguely agreed outside, and Qi Mu'an couldn't help admiring the big maids of this era. It sounds like Bi Gen's professionalism is quite high!

Imagine if they hadn't eavesdropped, who would understand who Master Qi was scolding at this moment?

After all, Mrs. Ruan has been a housekeeper for more than ten years, not to mention full of eyes and ears by Mr. Qi's side, so there are always three or two confidants.

Therefore, as soon as the visitor saw her, he told her the whole story, and Qi Muwen, who was sitting by the side, immediately stood up in shock, "No wonder big brother sent someone over this afternoon to ask me to borrow a few maidservants, and I didn't take it back." I didn’t expect it to be for this! My mother has been shrewd all her life, but she was foolish about this matter.”

When Mrs. Ruan got the news, her face turned pale and her heart fluttered. When she heard that her son also blamed her, she immediately shed tears of grievance.

"You little heartless, who is mother doing this for? Even if you give a few things to your sister, who do you leave most of them to? When I first got married, I often listened to the old mothers in the house. Talking about back then, your grandmother was also a person of high birth and status, and she brought a lot of good things as a dowry, don’t you still have them in your father’s room now! What do I have for your mother? If I don’t take advantage of the situation to take care of you now, you will inherit it in the future. With such a large family business, there are no guests at home? Don’t you need a few good things that can calm the eyes of others?”

They talked and cried, and wiped their noses, "Furthermore, our house has been getting worse year after year. There are hundreds of people in the whole family, and they are about to eat when they open their mouths. Your father is so dignified in everything. Your mother and I are just in charge of the family, can't we still print bank notes? Year after year, the east wall is demolished to make up for the west wall, and it is really impossible to make up for it, so I came up with such a method, and all the money is spent on it. In this family, can I still take it back to my natal family?"

When Qi Muwen heard her babbling here, he became even more anxious, "If you have time to cry with your son, mother and mother will cry in front of father without crying!"

One sentence reminded Mrs. Ruan that although she was frightened, she didn't dare to seriously tell Master Qi to wait, so she wiped her tears and went out with sobs.

Thinking about it, Qi Muwen might be dragged down by his mother, so he was afraid and hated, so he went back to his room and drank soju several times.

Xie Bai saw that he was so reluctant to ask carefully, so he poured out all the bitterness, of course, this is a later story.

Besides, at Mrs. Ruan's place, as soon as the talent entered the door, a teacup lid flew over.

Fortunately, Mr. Qi was just trying to vent his anger, so he was not very accurate, but even though he didn't really hit her, the lid of the teacup almost flew past her ear with a clear and crisp slap, almost sticking to her hair Blooming on the ground behind her was enough to make her knees go weak.

You must know that she has been married for so many years, although Master Qi is playful, he has never said a harsh word to her, let alone touch her hands.

Master Qi pointed to the two booklets on the table with a dark face, "Look at what you have done!"

When Mrs. Ruan saw the solid evidence, she also knew that she couldn't quibble, so she just sat down on the ground and cried bitterly.

"The concubine is confused, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Master Qi ignored her with a cold face, Qi Mu'an wanted to play a full set, he was still confused and didn't know the inside story, so he went to help her.

"Mother, what are you doing, get up, get up and talk."

When Mrs. Ruan saw that the eldest son was still facing her, her heart was immediately ignited with hope, she hurriedly grabbed Qi Mu'an's arm, her face was full of tears.

"My son, mother is sorry for you. Mother shouldn't be shallow-sighted, greedy, and touch the things your mother left you. Mother thought that this huge family business will be yours in the future, so it is inevitable that she will have selfishness and feel sorry for your brother. Sister, I think your mother is gracious and kind, if she is still alive, she will definitely put out some body to make up her daughter when she gets married, so I made a mistake for a while, you must forgive mother!"

Qi Mu'an almost didn't spit a mouthful of old blood on her face after hearing this. My mother is kind and she wants to spend money to show your daughter, which is also her business. Are you so self-indulgent?

Besides, you almost cleared out half of my mother's warehouse, not just one or two things?If my mother was alive, would she be so out of her mind that she would give half of her worth to your children?If she is still alive, can she have you?

He cursed in his heart, but as an uncrowned Oscar winner, he still made a surprised and hurt expression.

Staring at Mrs. Ruan for a long time, she said sadly: "Mother, why are you bothering? You can just ask your son what you want. Mother has worked so hard to bring up my son. Even if you want my life, I will give it to you." you."
