Happiness doesn't count, and Si Wei and others lived on the mountain for nearly two months in a blink of an eye.

"Ma'am, open the door quickly, it's not good, something serious happened," Qi Zhong ran up the hill one morning, slamming on Si Wei's courtyard door.

It was Haitang who opened the door, "Brother Qi, every time you show up, nothing good happens, so what's the matter this time?"

"Hou Ye locked the young lady into the firewood room, something serious will happen this time," Qi Zhong said terribly.

"Master Hou came here two days ago, he didn't look very happy, but he was persuaded by the master, what time is it? What happened again?" Haitang was speechless.

A few days ago, Qi Rongxiao had completed the emperor's order and returned to Qi Mansion.When Qi Rongxiao returned home, the first thing he should do was to greet his elders, but the people who stayed in the mansion had already reported to him that "mother is going to live on the mountain again", so after Qi Rongxiao returned to the mansion, he packed some things and prepared to go up the mountain.

But before he went out, the housekeeper Lao Zhao blocked his way, and invited him to the study to report the recent big and small things in the house.

"You said, Madam's cousin came to stay for a while, but left after knowing that I was coming back?" After the death of Master Qi, Qi Rongxiao became the master of the Qi Mansion, and all the servants he brought changed their mouths. Si Wei was promoted to be an old lady, and the wife that Qi Rongxiao said was naturally Liu Minyi.

"Yes!" Old Zhao said concisely.Madam's cousin didn't do anything serious after he came, but after hearing that Lord Hou was coming back, he said that he had something to do and left in a hurry, there might be something strange about it.

"Xu is really something urgent, don't worry about him, is there anything else?" Qi Rongxiao has not met Liu Minyi's cousin a few times, but for some reason, the cousin seems to be afraid of him, always trying to avoid him, Therefore, Qi Rongxiao didn't take his cousin's performance seriously. "Anything else?"

"Also, about ten days ago, the magistrate of Linhe County sent a box of things, and Madam liked it, so she accepted it." As he spoke, the butler took out the gift list and presented it to Qi Rongxiao for review.

"Accepted?" Qi Rongxiao grabbed the gift list and slapped it on the table without even looking at it. During this inspection, he found out that the Linhe county magistrate was short of money to repair the dam. The details have already been written and sent by the emperor to bring them back. The capital has been presented to the emperor, and it is estimated that the magistrate of Linhe County will be decapitated in a short time.

Now that he has received benefits from others, he must find a way to rescue him, otherwise the Linhe county magistrate will be dragged behind when he dies, and Qi Rongxiao's situation will be in trouble. "It's not enough to succeed but more to fail!" It's really hard to have a daughter-in-law who is holding back!

Qi Rongxiao stared at the gift list and was silent for a while, "Go, let Madam take out the things, together with the gift list, and send them to Mr. Cao who left first, and I will make up another memorial and present it."

Qi Rongxiao finished writing the memorial, but he didn't go to the housekeeper to return to his life, so he got up to look for someone, but saw that his wife not only didn't want to return the things, but also lost his temper at Lao Zhao.

Qi Rongxiao said to Liu Minyi in a flat tone: "Hand over the key to the public house!"

"My husband! I just want life in the mansion to be easier!" Liu Minyi nervously twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand. She not only put those things in the mansion, but also gave some of them to her cousin!

"Hand it over!" Qi Rongxiao became much tougher.

Liu Minyi reluctantly handed over the key, and Lao Zhao immediately searched for things according to the gift list, and came back after a while to say that there were not enough things.

"Where did you go?" Qi Rongxiao's voice made everyone who heard it shudder.

Liu Minyi was no exception, she trembled a bit, but dared not say: "Here, here, my cousin is a pawn..."

"Go chase!" After Qi Rongxiao said these two words, he quickly left and faced that woman again, he was afraid that he would strangle her to death.

After picking up the things for his mother, Qi Rongxiao brought another jug ​​of wine, and got on his horse to pay his respects to his mother.

"Master Hou!" Haitang who opened the door almost screamed.Because no one came to the door recently, Si Wei always wore men's clothes when he was in the house, what if Hou Ye saw this!

Si Wei and the others in the room also became flustered when they heard Haitang's voice, looking for clothes and packing things.

"Well, how is mother? Take the things in." Qi Rongxiao casually tied the reins on the tree outside the courtyard, and walked in.

"Master Hou, you can't go in!" Haitang opened her arms in a hurry to block Qi Rongxiao's way.

"Why?" Qi Rongxiao frowned, he was full of anger now, and he was trying his best to suppress those who were wrong with his mother.

"Uh..." Haitang's mind turned quickly, and she immediately thought of a way to deal with it, "Master said he was tired, so he just lay down, Lord Hou wait a moment, wait for me to wake up Master."

"Hmph, mother should have been awakened by your voice just now, right?" That's what he said, but Qi Rongxiao didn't go any further, he knew that women always like to dress up, "Go, tell me that I will come to mother's house." Please."

Haitang hastily blessed Fushen, turned around and went into the house to help.Several people didn't dare to leave the majestic Lord Hou outside the door for too long, and invited people in after dressing up Si Wei, and didn't notice if there was anything inappropriate in the room.

Qi Rongxiao saluted Si Wei before entering the room, but turned around and saw Zhiqing standing in the room, "Mother is resting, why are you in the room?"

Zhiqing is not Haitang, his head turns slowly, his mouth is tongue-tied, and he gestures with his hands for a long time without uttering a single word.But in such a situation, even Haitang couldn't make up any suitable excuses, right?

"Qingqing, let's play~" Zhan'er stood in the small cradle, stretching out her little hand to ask Zhiqing who just played with him to continue playing with him.

"Well, the young master is sticking to Zhiqing, that's why Zhiqing is in the room. Madame was just tired, so I leaned in..." Shaoyao spoke incoherently, and didn't even make clear what she said with gestures.

Si Wei took the pen and paper that Qiao'er used to practice calligraphy on the Kang table, and wrote: "I just lay down with my clothes on, and I have crabapple and peony, so I left Zhiqing in the room to coax Zhan'er, your son Besides me, there are only Nianqiaoer and Zhiqing."

"Mother! Even if there are other people in the room, it's inappropriate for you to leave a man while you're resting!" Qi Rongxiao became annoyed, why both of them are so ignorant!

"Yes, it's my fault. These days on the mountain, I thought of them as younger brothers and sisters. I lost my guard. I will pay attention to it in the future!" Si Wei quickly wrote again.

"Brothers and sisters! Mother! A servant is a servant, it's okay to be close, but the rules should not be messed up!" Several servants can be so favored by their mother, but as a son, he is alienated by her mother in every possible way!

"Yes, I made a mistake. Don't be angry anymore. I'll just pay more attention in the future! Why did you go up the mountain today? Have you finished everything the emperor ordered?" Si Wei quickly changed the subject.

"It's almost there, and something went wrong in the end." After all, Si Wei is the "mother". Now that he has admitted his mistake, Qi Rongxiao, as a son, can't keep chasing after him, and such things can only be trivialized, so Following Si Wei's wishes, he changed the subject.

"Is it because something went wrong in the end that you are in a bad mood?" Si Wei guessed.Qi Rongxiao has always treated him with courtesy, and the reason why he lost his temper just now is definitely not because Zhiqing is in his room so simply.

"I brought some things here, and I want to have a drink or two here, can mother let Shaoyao make some appetizers?" Qi Rongxiao answered irrelevantly.

Si Weichong nodded to Shaoyao, Master Hou wants to drink, how dare he disagree?Qi Rongxiao brought a lot of ready-made food, Shao Yao deftly made four side dishes, and brought them up together with the wine pot and wine cup.

After two glasses of wine, Qi Rongxiao briefly told Si Wei what happened.

"You can't slap a slap, Lord Hou, don't always blame Madam, you are doing the errands ordered by the Emperor abroad, but have you ever told Madam about it?" The kang table was mostly occupied by wine and vegetables, so Si Wei had to scribble on the corner of the table.

"I didn't specifically ask, but she should know." Qi Rongxiao drank another glass of wine, but the dishes on the table remained unchanged.

"In the past, those who came to give gifts to Lord Hou were not accepted?" Si Wei asked again.

"When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Of course, we can't just keep everything." Another cup.

"How do you accept it? How do you not accept it? Master Hou told his wife that the things sent by the Linhe county magistrate cannot be accepted? Madam saw that it was only a small area of ​​the Qi Mansion, and Lord Hou shouldn't expect her to tell the difference. After finishing writing, Si Wei looked up at Qi Rongxiao.

Qi Rongxiao put the wine glass to his mouth, and paused the action of filling the wine. "In this way, it is indeed my fault." Another glass of wine.

"It's not that Ma'am is not without some responsibilities. She accepted the gift, so she shouldn't have given it away without asking." Si Wei continued to write.

"It would be great if I met you first, you are so considerate, gentle and virtuous, I will definitely marry you as my wife, then there will be no such troublesome things now..." Qi Rongxiao raised his neck and took another cup Drunk.

"Master Hou! You can't talk nonsense!" Haitang, who was serving at the side, interrupted suddenly relying on Si Wei's support. She used to speak for "mother", so Qi Rongxiao didn't blame her, but motioned her to continue: "Master is young and You are a new widow, if you say this to a newcomer, they will think that the master is unwilling to be lonely and hooked up..."

Haitang couldn't go on talking, Zhiqing's matter was still in sight.

Si Wei patted Haitang's arm, made a silent gesture, and then lowered his head and wrote: "Here are all our own people, it's okay, Lord Hou has a sense of proportion. But, Lord Hou, even if you and I met first, You and I will not have a closer relationship than we do now. Master Hou thinks I am good because some of the qualities that Master Hou expects from his wife happen to be missing."

"No, it's not certain qualities. She is the wife I want at all. What I want is you..." Qi Rongxiao wouldn't say these words on weekdays, but today with the help of Jiu Jin Son, he pretended to "speak the truth after drinking".

"Master Hou is drunk and confused. My natal family is just a small family, so it is not helpful for Master Hou's career, and I have never seen anything in the world, so I must not be able to keep up with my wife in communication, so I am not a good match for Master Hou." Qi Rongxiao's age To be a Marquis easily, besides working hard, external help is also indispensable, Si Wei pointed it out to him sharply.

Qi Rongxiao swallowed the wine in his glass silently.He also understood that when he was on the battlefield, there were many people who wanted to deal with him. Apart from the emperor's intention to protect him, there were some things that the Yue family helped him settle...
