"The Chen family’s banquet? Was it the Chen family who had a conflict with your third brother some time ago? I heard that the third brother and the three brothers of the Chen family had a very stalemate. After he came back, He was also brought into the family law by his father."

Qi Yan didn't expect that Qi Wang even knew about this. He was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said: "There is such a thing, but we and the Chen family In some business dealings, although the three brothers of the Chen family were a little impulsive, they were kind and honest people. Although the third brother offended them, they didn’t care about anything with us. They still keep in touch. Many of the raw materials that our textile factory needs are. They came in from their house. They knew that the third brother had been punished, and they even gave us a 20% profit."

In Qi Yan's mouth, the three brothers of the Chen family are all worthy people. Judging from his appearance, the relationship with the three brothers of the Chen family should be quite good.

Qi Meng pondered for a moment, and was about to say something. Qi Yan had already started and said: "Brother, there is actually no need to have such a stalemate between us and the Chen family. It was just us last time. It’s just the contradiction between the juniors. You know the third brother’s temperament. He is a scumbag. Except for his few friends, who can get along with? It would be inappropriate to break these relationships because of him. NS."

Qi Yan bitterly persuaded Qi Wang, hoping that he could go to the Chen family banquet. In his opinion, it was Qi Heng who had nothing to do at the beginning. How could the family's temperament endure this tone?

After saying this, he looked at Qi Wang and waited for his answer.

At this moment, a cloud of dark clouds floated out of unknown place, covering the moon that had just struggled out of the clouds. The light in the yard dimmed, and it had stopped. The wind became louder, and the clothes Qi Yan was wearing were a little thin. With the cold wind blowing, he felt a little cold and couldn't help raising his hand and rubbing his arm.

"Brother, if you have nothing to do, you might as well go to the banquet. You haven’t been walking in this circle for a long time. Everyone has forgotten your existence. It’s better to take this opportunity to shine The appearance also lets everyone know that the eldest master of the Qi family is back."

Qi Yan seems to be out of good intentions, he persuades Qi with all his heart, and analyzes all the pros and cons clearly, he is so painstakingly wanting to attend this banquet. , Qi Wang would not believe it if he said that he had no plan.

"Do you really want me to go to the banquet?"

Qi Yan's eyes flashed, and his tone became more sincere than before: "It's not that I want my eldest brother to attend this banquet, I just think that eldest brother has been back for so long. But I never know what I’m working on. I know that my eldest brother is impatient to attend these banquets. It’s just that you are the eldest of the Qi family. You should have taken the lead in these banquets. Before the eldest brother was absent, I could only take my place, but since the eldest brother When I'm back, it should be my eldest brother."

His tone must be so sincere and sincere, as if he was sincerely planning for Qi Wang. Seeing him like this, Qi Wang smiled and said, "It’s not necessary to go to the banquet. Yes, I still have things tomorrow, there is no time to pass."

He has said things to this point. If he changes the original owner, I am afraid that he has already agreed to it. However, Qi Yan originally thought that things were stable, but he did not know that Qi Wang did not follow common sense. When he played the card, he directly rejected himself.

"Brother, is your business important? Maybe you can push it back..."

Qi Wang shook his head and said, “I’m very important, and cannot be postponed. Since you have participated in so many banquets for me in the past, it doesn’t matter if you replace me a few more times. Anyway, I You know your temperament. You are not the kind of person who forgets who you are. I believe in you."

After saying this, Qi Wang got up from the stone bench and looked at Qi Yan, whose face was turning blue by the night wind, and said with concern: "Second brother , Your health is not good, so don't let the air blow out anymore. This roast goose tastes good, I will take it back and try it."

Speaking, without waiting for Qi Yan's refusal, he re-wrapped the roasted goose on the table in greased paper.

"Our two yards are not in the same direction, then I will go back first. If you have nothing to do, go back first. It will be heavy at night and don’t hurt your body."

After saying these words, Qi Wang directly took the oil paper bag that wrapped the roast goose and left, leaving Qi Yan alone in the empty garden.

The night seems to be much darker than before, Qi Yan feels very cold, the cold is not blown by the night wind, but from the bottom of his heart, his face is blue , His gaze was watching Qi Wang's departure direction, even if his figure had already disappeared, Qi Yan never took his gaze back.

It feels as if something has changed. That feeling is like the thing he held in his hand quietly out of control, spreading in an unknown direction.

A faint sense of panic rose from Qi Yan's heart, and Qi Yan's face became darker when he realized that he had developed a shameful emotion of cowardice.

He took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down. Instead of getting up and leaving, he remembered the conversation he had just with Qi Wang.

Qi Yan thinks that his performance is impeccable. He used to be like that in front of Qi Wang, and Qi Wang has always trusted him and never doubted him, even if sometimes he After passing the boundary a little bit, Qi Wang also smiled, and didn't care about anything with him.

Even if his arrangements conflict with Qi Wang’s arrangements, Qi Wang will either postpone his arrangements or explain to him in detail why he can’t be with him. In short, he won’t. Let yourself be grudged.

But this time is different. He has already said that to that point, so he almost told Qi Wang to go to the banquet with him. Qi Yan is sure that Qi Wang understands him. Meaning, but in the end he refused, only to say that there was something, but he didn't explain more to him.

Qi Yan carefully recalled the conversation between the two of them just now. He believed that his statement was impeccable and would not let Qi Wang notice anything, but Qi Wang’s answer was a little bit wrong. right.

The feeling of restlessness became stronger and stronger, Qi Yan's brows became tighter, and his fingers lightly tapped on the stone table, but until the knuckles were tapped The redness made him so painful that he couldn't help but withdraw his hand, and didn't even understand the matter.

The sky outside became more gloomy. The thin raindrops fell from the sky. The small pavilion was not big and there was no shelter on all sides. The rain fell in and got wet. The clothes and some fell on his face. The cold touch made Qi Yan shiver, and then he sneezed as if he couldn't control it.

After a few sneezes, Qi Yan was a little groggy. He shook his head, knowing that he could not stay here any longer.

After analyzing for a long time, I haven't analyzed what Qi Wang is thinking, so don't continue to waste time, go back to the yard and talk about it.

When Qi Yan returned to the yard, he heard the people under his hand come and report to him, saying that Qi Wang had replaced all the people who had been serving in his yard.

"Second young master, all the servants in the yard of the young and old have been replaced. It is said that they are not used to their waiters. The people inside are all replaced by the guards of the young and old. Those people are very vigilant. The little ones just passed by the yard, and they didn’t do anything before, so they took a pair of eyes and stared at the little ones. That way, it’s clear that the little ones are thieves."

After hearing what people said, Qi Yan's brows wrinkled tightly, and the expression on his face became more serious and cautious.

Qi Wang changed all the people in his yard? Moreover, they were all replaced by their own personal guards. According to the people below, they were all armed with guns and live ammunition, and all of them were very vigilant.

The uneasy feeling before became true, the situation began to get out of control, and now it is completely out of his control. Was Qi Wang's previous attitude toward himself like this, could he notice something?

No, Qi Yan is very clear about Qi Yuanhao’s taboo. In this marshal’s mansion, two different teams are not allowed to appear at the same time. The handsome man, never brought his own guards here, why did he make it so suddenly this time? And Qi Yuanhao has no objections?

The meaning of the latter is more terrifying than the former. Qi Yan can't sit still. He immediately got up and went to Xu Zhaorong's yard. After a while, Qi Yan returned. , And then Xu Zhaorong dressed up and went to Qi Yuanhao's yard with a food box.

However, Xu Zhaorong did not even enter the yard and was stopped by someone outside.

You have to know that when you came here in the past, as long as there are no other women in it, everyone under you will let them in. She said that there were other women inside, which made Xu Zhaorong feel an uneasy feeling in her heart.

Thinking of his son’s confession, Xu Zhaorong sorted out his emotions, and asked softly, "You two, can you accommodate me? I brought the Poria wolfberry dragon soup, which is the lord’s favorite drink. Let it cool but it won’t taste good. Can you let me in? I promise that I’ll come out when the soup is delivered, and I won’t wait any longer.”

The people guarding outside the yard are Qi Yuanhao’s henchmen. They have followed Qi Yuanhao for longer than Xu Zhaorong. Although she is Qi Yuanhao’s wife, she is not in front of these people. Dare to be presumptuous, still polite, and even a little more flattering when speaking at this time.

"Second concubine, the marshal has ordered that no one is allowed in, please go back."

The two soldiers spoke with sullen faces, and did not show Xu Zhaorong any face.

Xu Zhaorong, upon seeing this, scolded the two soldiers so badly in his heart, but did not dare to show anything on the face, she tried to persuade them to let her in, but The two of them refused to enter, and in the end they didn't even bother to her. Xu Zhaorong's anger came out in his heart, but in the end he forcibly suppressed his anger.

"Well, since the handsome man is busy, then I won’t bother, but this Poria wolfberry dragon soup is carefully made by me. Please bring it to the handsome man. My heart, please do your best, don’t let my heart down."

The two soldiers did not refuse this time. One of them took the lunch box that Xu Zhaorong was carrying and turned around into the yard. Xu Zhaorong looked at his leaving back and couldn’t help but bite. Biting his lip, but in the end he didn't have the guts to break in, so he turned and left angrily.

On the way back, Xu Zhao couldn’t bear to complain to the maid Tao Hong next to him: "Tao Hong, you tell me that my aunt and wife should be aggrieved, obviously I am the master, but those two When I was personally facing me, my nostrils could not lift up to the sky, and I didn't even have to look at me with straight eyes. I felt aggrieved when I thought about it."

"Second wife, you should still keep your voice down. If they hear it, it won't be good if it reaches the handsome ears."

Tao Hong is a prudent temperament. Those soldiers who have a good ears and eyes have not long gone out. If they hear it, it will be another trouble to reach the commander.

Xu Zhaorong choked for a while, feeling more aggrieved in his heart: "When is the head of such a day? Even though I said it was the second wife, it’s no worse than the big one, but it’s big What is the position of my wife in this mansion? What is the position of me? She is only from a better background than me. Apart from this, how can she compare to me?"

Xu Zhaorong was born in Xiaomen Xiaohu. She was spotted by Qi Yuanhao when she was selling flowers on the street, and then she was taken into the Fuzhong and became the second concubine, but Xu Zhaorong’s family conditions were not good. That's great, but her father is also a scholar. Xu Zhaorong thinks that she is knowledgeable, and she is actually much better than Qin Minyan in terms of looks and talents.

The only thing she is bad about is her origin, but as long as her origin is better, she can sit in the position of Mrs. Qi's family.

Seeing Xu Zhaorong’s face showing indignation, Tao Hong couldn’t help but persuade her a few words: "Second madam, don’t be angry. For this little thing is not worth it, let’s You all know that the second wife is much stronger than the older wife. After the second young master he... will naturally have your benefits, and now you'd better bear it again."

Tao Hong is a talking person. After some comfort, Xu Zhaorong's mood finally recovered. She took a few deep breaths, adjusted her mood, and walked towards Qi Yan. Went to his yard.

"The situation is like this. I didn’t even have access to your father’s yard, so I was stopped by two soldiers outside, but there should be no other people in the yard either. I can be sure of it."

After receiving Xu Zhaorong’s words, Qi Yan frowned and began to think. Xu Zhaorong couldn’t help asking, “Ayan, what happened to him? Why are you like this? Woolen cloth?"

Qi Yan shook his head, and did not intend to tell Xu Zhaorong his guess: "It's nothing, it's just a small matter, I can handle it myself."

When Xu Zhaorong saw this, she was relieved. She was also a wink. Seeing that Qi Yan seemed to have something to do, she didn’t stay here any longer, and soon left with Tao Hong. NS.

***

After Qi Wang returned with the half-eaten roast goose, he locked himself in the study. The soldiers following him were all well-trained. What are they? Without asking, the courtyard was strictly guarded to ensure that no fly could get in.

In the study, Qi Wang looked down at the roast geese on the table, a gloomy color between his eyebrows.

The taste of this roast goose is indeed delicious, but this delicious secret recipe makes people feel nauseous-this roast goose is marinated with a lot of powder made from a large smoke shell, as long as the taste It's not too bad, after adding the powder made from the big smoke shell, it will become a delicacy that people can't stop eating.

Qi Yan’s movements just now were all seen by Qi Wang, and the one-bite roasted goose leg is still here. If he does not know how to make this roast goose, Qi Wang I don't believe it.

Qi Yan must know how this thing is made, so he tried his best to let Qi Wang eat it, but he himself only got it in his mouth and never eat it.
