With Qi Shengkun's eyes, it is natural to see that this bow-crossbow is powerful. If it is presented, Qi Li may really be named a fifth-rank member.

The reason why he wanted Qi Wang to gain fame was to change his family. Now that he can become an official through this method, how can Qi Shengkun be unhappy.

"I thought you were joking with me before, but I didn't expect you to have such ability. Is it because your father underestimated you."

Qi Li smiled and didn't take it seriously: "Then father promised me to take me to Beijing?"

Qi Shengkun nodded, naturally there was no disagreement.

"We'll be leaving in four days at most. You ask the people to pack up, and I'll talk to your mother."

Qi Li saluted Qi Shengkun, and quickly backed out.

And Qi Shengkun looked at the arrow that was deeply embedded in the bookshelf, and couldn't help saying: "This kid, doing such a big thing quietly, but I underestimated him. ."

He didn't let anyone shoot the arrows, but prepared to keep it as a souvenir, because of the surprise brought by Qi Li just now, Qi Shengkun also had no intention of continuing to work, after thinking again and again, he got up and left Study, go back to the backyard.

Liu Xiyu was instructing the servants to prepare clothes for the young master and miss, and to take them to the Chen family's flower viewing banquet. When Qi Shengkun came back, Liu Xiyu sent all the people out of the house.

"Master, why are you here?"

Liu Xiyu personally poured tea and water for Qi Shengkun, and asked with a smile.

To his wife, Qi Shengkun didn't hide it from her and told what just happened.

"I'm going to take Ah Wang to Beijing."

Liu Xiyu was stunned, she looked at Qi Shengkun with a face full of surprise, as if she couldn't believe what she heard - Qi Wangzhen developed the weapon he said?

"Master, are you telling the truth?"

Qi Shengkun nodded and said firmly: "Indeed, he just showed me the power of the bow-crossbow, which is indeed much more powerful than the existing bows and arrows, if the soldiers can Equipped with such weapons, the national strength of our Dayan Kingdom will definitely rise to a higher level."

As a woman in the back house, Liu Xiyu doesn't know much about these things, but since Qi Shengkun said so, then it will definitely happen.

The Qi family, as a royal merchant, also has some power in the capital. It is not a problem to offer weapons, but things haven't been done yet, so there is no need to be happy first.

"Then take him."

Speaking, Liu Xiyu sighed and said helplessly: "I originally wanted to take advantage of this time to go to Chen's family to attend the flower viewing banquet, and see if there is a suitable girl to settle down for Ah Wan. Now, it seems that this matter is not in a hurry."

Qi Shengkun nodded and said: "There may be a great fortune in the future of Ah Wan, and the marriage is really not in a hurry, but Feng'er's age is up, her marriage should also be decided. , you don't have to worry about Arran's marriage, it's just right to settle Feng'er's marriage first."

It is not too late for a wealthy woman to get engaged at the age of seventeen. She has made a marriage decision, and the three media and six hires have gone through it. It is just right to get married next year.

Speaking of this, you have to put the queen first, and delaying the age of marriage for women is also a rule set by the queen.

You must know that in the past, many girls in the Dayan Dynasty got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and the marriage was given at the age of twelve or thirteen. It is useless, and it is easy to give birth to frail and sickly offspring. She advocates that women get married at the age of eighteen. At that time, a woman's body is already mature and bears the burden of bearing offspring. The probability of sick children will also be greatly reduced.

The late emperor was very fond of the late queen. There was only the late queen in the huge harem. After the late queen proposed to let the woman refuse to marry the age, the late emperor strongly supported it, and the royal family set an example, the late emperor was the most The beloved Princess Min Yu got married at the age of twenty.

However, after the implementation of this decree for a few years, everyone has seen its benefits. When a woman who remarries at the age of 18 has a dystocia, the probability of having a weak child is indeed much less. A well-known genius doctor also stood up and said that women's physical maturity is basically around the age of eighteen. Only a healthy mother can give birth to healthy offspring, and they will be smarter and healthier than those children born to their mothers earlier.

So after a few decades, they have become accustomed to letting women get married and have children after they are old enough.

Qi Feng is seventeen years old this year, her birth month is small, and she will only celebrate her seventeenth birthday in the twelfth lunar month, so it is not too late to prepare now.

Liu Xiyu originally had this plan, but after knowing that Qi Li was going to present the weapon she made, Liu Xiyu hesitated. .seven

More options?"

Although they are imperial merchants, they are merchants after all. Most of the officials and eunuchs will not marry them. Most of their choices are the same merchants, or some poor scholars and the like. .

Liu Xiyu really loves her daughter, and naturally she wants to give all the best things to her daughter. If Qi Wang can be an official, wouldn't Qi Feng have more choices in marriage matters? some more?

However, compared to Liu Xiyu, Qi Shengkun was more calm, he shook his head, interrupting Liu Xiyu's fantasy.

"Although high-class marrying a daughter and a low-class marrying a wife, for most people, they still need to pay attention to being a good family. Even if Ah Wan can successfully enter the court this time, his official position Putting it there, when the wind is high or low, it is better to choose someone who knows the bottom line as it is now."

Speaking of this, Qi Shengkun paused for a while, then continued.

Gaomen, how can we help her at that time?"

Where is the back house of the wealthy compound so easy to enter? Between concubines, between concubines, between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and with other people, all need to be comprehensive. If there is one thing that cannot be done, I am afraid that it will be a joke.

"You were a little slack in teaching Feng'er in the past. To be fair, with Feng'er's current ability, do you think she can enter the backyard of those officials?"

Liu Xiyu was speechless by Qi Shengkun's call, she sighed a long time, and said helplessly: "If I had known that Ah Wan had such a good fortune, I would keep it from the wind. Teach her well since she was born, and with Feng'er's intelligence, she will definitely become a qualified mistress of the house."

Qi Shengkun couldn't help laughing when he heard this, which made Liu Xiyu glared angrily: "Do you think I can't teach it? Or do you think Fenger can't do it?"

Seeing that his wife was angry, Qi Shengkun hurriedly started coaxing people. After a while, Liu Xiyu finally calmed down.

Liu Xiyu, who calmed down, couldn't help laughing when she thought of what she had done just now - they thought about everything well, but whether Qi Liang could be an official or not is still between the two. , they were worried about these things in advance.

In order to hide the embarrassment, Liu Xiyu talked about other things.

"I sent Sun Ziyin, Sun Zixun and Sun Ziyu back to Yuzhou City."

Qi Shengkun was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What about Sun Ziyun?"

Liu Xiyu shook her head: "She still doesn't want to leave, that child looked good when she was a child, and now I don't know how it became like this."

Speaking, she said Qi Feng's suspicions: "Feng'er thinks that Sun Ziyun has no plans, I think what she said is very reasonable, in two days I will let people take her Send it to Zhuangzi to live."

Qi Shengkun did not intervene in these matters in the back house, but handed it over to Liu Xiyu to handle it. After hearing her decision, Qi Shengkun nodded and said, "It's fine for you to decide."

"By the way, is Feng'er feeling better?"

There was an immortal in Fuzhong, and Liu Xiyu gave a death order. Once she found out that there were rumors about this, she would immediately sell it away. In addition, she also said that immortals do not like her often It is mentioned that if you accidentally offend the immortals with your words, it will lead to disasters and shorten your life.

People in the palace were still talking about this, but after Liu Xiyu spread the news, they didn't dare to say more, so Qi Shengkun didn't know about it, he thought Qi Feng It was because he was too frightened when he fled before that he was in bad health.

Liu Xiyu didn't plan to tell Qi Shengkun about this, she said with a smile: "The medicine prescribed by the doctor is very effective, Feng'er's condition is much better than before, she came to me just now, Said to attend the Zhao family's flower viewing banquet."

Qi Shengkun nodded and said: "It's so good, but Feng'er's body is weak, you should buy more charcoal fire this year, and also prepare a small kitchen in her yard, if you want to eat Nothing to go to the big kitchen."

Liu Xiyu naturally responded one by one, and then they said something else, and the topic slowly turned to other things.

***

After leaving, Sun Ziyun felt that the time had become extraordinarily long.

Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Li, who were guarding outside the door, hardly spoke to Sun Ziyun. They just delivered porridge and side dishes on time every day. They didn't say a word to Sun Ziyun. Now, they will only agree two sentences, but it is only two sentences. After finishing speaking, they immediately closed the courtyard door and locked her in this huge courtyard by herself.

Sun Ziyun originally thought that such a life was not so difficult, but after she really experienced it, she realized that loneliness can really drive people crazy.

She walks around in the yard every day, trying to find something to distract her attention, she hides in the room and recites words, constantly depicting a bright future, she wants to rely on this so that she can Stick to it.

Sun Ziyun thought she would not regret it, but in the dead of night, when she woke up from the hard bed, Sun Ziyun found that she actually had regrets.

This kind of life is really bad, it is not an exaggeration to say that life is like a year, she thought she could survive with those beautiful fantasies, but she found that she was not as good as she thought strong.

After just a few days, the courtyard door suddenly opened again, and Liu Xiyu in brocade clothes appeared in the courtyard.

At this time, Sun Ziyun was already in a trance. When he saw Liu Xiyu, Sun Ziyun thought that Liu Xiyu was showing mercy and finally wanted to let him go.

However, what Sun Ziyun didn't expect was that Liu Xiyu didn't come here to let her go, but told her to send her to Zhuangzi.

After hearing Liu Xiyu's words, Sun Ziyun's expression froze. She looked at Liu Xiyu in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe what she had heard for a long time before she found her own sound comes.

"Aunt, why did you send me to Zhuangzi?"

Although it was not easy to live in Qi's residence, she still had hope. If she was really sent to Zhuangzi by Liu Xiyu, what hope could she have?

It's no wonder Sun Ziyun thinks so. You must know that in Yuzhou City, the backyard of Sun's house was not as clean as Qi's house. Sun's father had many concubines, but Liu Xiyue The means are great. Although there are many concubines, none of them can successfully give birth to children. The children of the entire Sun Mansion are all born from Liu Xiyue's womb.

Without a child, you can only rely on a man's favor, but a man's favor is like a mirror and cannot exist for a long time.

Women who have fallen out of favor will be assigned to Zhuangzi. Sun Ziyun has seen what those women who are assigned to Zhuangzi look like.

, Without someone to take good care of them, how can they maintain their beauty?

What's more terrifying is that the main family rarely goes to Zhuangzi, which also leads to people like Zhuangtou on Zhuangzi becoming more like the master than the master, and those who have been assigned to the past People can only be sparred by Zhuang Tou, living a life that is neither a ghost nor a ghost.

Although she didn't eat well and slept badly in Qi Mansion, no one dared to bully her. If she was assigned to Zhuangzi, wouldn't she have to wait to die?

Sun Ziyun only knew she was afraid at this moment, she covered her face and sobbed and cried, while crying and begging: "Aunt, it's all Yun'er's fault, Please don't send Yun'er to Zhuangzi, for the sake of my dead mother, I beg you..."

However, Liu Xiyu has made up her mind, Sun Ziyun can't change her decision by crying one or two times, and even when she sees Sun Ziyun crying endlessly, she feels a little impatient in her heart.

If she had known that she would face such a situation, would Sun Ziyun still do those things?

After saying these words, Liu Xiyu waved her hand directly, and the servants who were waiting outside rushed in, directly set up Sun Ziyun who was crying more and more, and took her to the outside The carriage went up.

Sun Ziyun was frightened and shouted hoarsely: "Aunt, please don't let me go to Zhuangzi, please..."

However, her shouting stopped abruptly. It turned out that Mrs. Zhang saw that she kept shouting and took out the handkerchief and stuffed it directly into Sun Ziyun's mouth.

It's just that Mrs. Zhang's behavior reminded Sun Ziyun of the situation when the concubines of the Sun family were taken away, and she became more and more sure of her guess.

It seems that Liu Xiyu can no longer tolerate her, so she was sent to Zhuangzi to spar with her.

After confirming this, Sun Ziyun stopped begging for mercy. At this time, she became extremely calm and allowed the servants to stuff her into the carriage.

Sun Ziyun sat in the small and dark carriage, raised her hand to hold her chest tightly, where was her jade pendant hidden, that was all her hope of turning over.

She can't panic, everything hasn't come to a dead end yet, she still has a chance...

***

After sending Sun Ziyun away, Liu Xiyu was refreshed, and she went to Ningxiangyuan to tell Qi Feng the good news.

"Feng'er, Sun Ziyun has already been sent away by me, you can rest assured. After arriving at Zhuangzi, she will definitely not be able to make any big waves."

When Qi Feng heard what his mother said, his hanging heart was relieved.

"Mom, why did Dad suddenly bring Ah Juan to the capital this year?"

Qi Feng didn't know about this before. It wasn't until yesterday morning when she dined with Liu Xiyu that she found out that Qi Li was not there. Go to Beijing.

"Dad didn't want Ah Juan to study hard and let him take the imperial examination? Why did he suddenly change his mind?"

Liu Xiyu replied with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry to take the imperial examination. Don't they say that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles? Take him out to see the world, maybe he will. After the market, Ah Juan will be able to study seriously when he comes back."

She did not tell Qi Feng that Qi Li had invented a new weapon. After all, Qi Shengkun said that before the dust settles, the fewer people know about it, the better. Young, the mouth is not strict, if it leaks out, it will be bad.

"So it is."

Fortunately, Qi Feng didn't ask much, so he believed Liu Xiyu's words.

The departure of Qi Shengkun and Qi Li did not have much impact on Qi Mansion, Liu Xiyu and Qi Feng still lived their lives step by step.

Just two days later, Zhuang Zishang suddenly came to report, saying that the third Miss Sun who had been sent before had suddenly disappeared.

Sun Ziyun ran away?

After learning the news, Liu Xiyu immediately sent someone to look for it. Just in case, Liu Xiyu deliberately kept an eye on it and went to the yamen to report to the official and reported the disappearance of Sun Ziyun.

It's just that no one knows where Sun Ziyun ran to, and no one knows whether she has used the help of others. No trace of Sun Ziyun was found, she seemed to just disappear out of thin air.
