Murong Shuqing's face was pale and colorless, Huo Ziqi knew that her injury was definitely not what she said was okay, let Lu Yi get in the car, Huo Ziqi rode in the front, "Go to the town to find a doctor first. Let's go!"
The group quickly drove to the town. Under the careful care of the doctor, Murong Shuqing and Lu Yi were not seriously injured, but the speed of travel was much slower. Huadu was not far from the capital. Eight days at noon to be counted.
"The capital is really lively." After being bored in the car for several days, Huo Zhiqing had long been impatient. She raised the bamboo curtain, looked around excitedly, and held Lv Yi and chatted non-stop. Murong Shuqing put down the book in his hand and shook his head amusingly, this Huo Zhiqing really couldn't stop for a moment.
Murong Shuqing looked up and saw that the shops facing the street were very distinctively decorated, and the variety of goods sold was also very complete. On the streets, there are merchants and dignitaries in splendid brocade clothes, ordinary people in coarse linen clothes, and even boudoir daughters who usually stay at home. The capital is indeed lively and culturally diverse, and it deserves to be the political and cultural center of EAST.
The group entered the capital, and it was time to part. Murong Shuqing got out of the carriage, bowed slightly to Huo Ziqi and Yan Haoyu, and said, "Thank you for your care along the way."
Huo Ziqi cupped her hands and smiled, "Miss Murong is too polite." In the past few days, he has met Murong Shuqing on the other side. In addition to her talent in business, she is witty, sharp, and humble to others, which makes him I was very impressed, and it should be a pleasure to be friends with such a person.
Huo Zhiqing, who was busy with her muscles, also stopped, came to Murong Shuqing, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Murong, are you leaving?"
The past few days of getting along made Murong Shuqing like this bright and innocent little girl even more, and she was really a little reluctant to part with her, but there is no such thing as a feast in the world, so she could only smile and say: "This time I am here to celebrate my birthday, I do have to go."
"Then can I see you again?"
Murong Shuqing chuckled and said, "Of course, where do you live? I can visit you."
Huo Zhiqing turned to look at Huo Ziqi and asked, "Big brother?"
Huo Ziqi patted Huo Zhiqing's head and said with a smile, "I just arrived in the capital, and I haven't decided where to live."
Li Youyu, who was on the side, stepped forward and said softly, "Brother Huo, if you don't mind, you can stay at my house." As long as Brother Huo is willing to live in her house, she will have more time to spend with him and let him know her good.
Huo Zi said politely, "Thank you Miss Li, you're welcome."
Li Youyu said quickly: "It's okay, you saved me, I haven't thanked you yet!" Maybe he felt that he was too hasty, and Li Youyu lowered his head shyly after speaking.
Huo Zhiqing, who couldn't stand it any longer, said impatiently, "No, no, we'll find an inn ourselves." She didn't want to live in her house, she hated her pretentious delicacy. If my eldest brother was with her, she would never promise.
Huo Zhiqing's direct rejection and disgust made Li Youyu so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. She looked at Huo Ziqi with tears in her eyes, hoping that he would agree. It's a pity that Huo Ziqi is a person who loves his sister to the bone, and besides, he really doesn't want to provoke such an official daughter, so he turns his head and chats with Yan Haoyu, pretending not to see her pitiful appearance.
Murong Shuqing secretly laughed in his heart, the Huo family is really interesting, this Miss Li is destined to fail. "Since that's the case, why don't you let me do the friendship of the landlord once, and you can stay in the Yingke Building. It's the property of the Murong family, and it's convenient for me to visit you."
Hearing what Murong Shuqing said, Huo Zhiqing answered happily, "Okay, we'll live in the Yingke Building." Anyway, he couldn't live in Li Youyu's house.
That's fine, send Miss Li home earlier, and he can get rid of it earlier. I don't know how many times Yan Haoyu teased him along the way, Huo Ziqi replied politely, "Then thank you Miss Murong."
"You're welcome. Shu Qing will leave first." If eyes could kill, Murong Shuqing thought she had died hundreds of times. What's the point of being forced to do things emotionally
Holding Murong Shuqing's hand, Huo Zhiqing said reluctantly, "Sister Murong, come to see me when you are free, we will stay in the capital for a while."
Patting her hand, Murong Shuqing smiled and said, "Okay!"
Murong Shuqing boarded the waiting carriage and drove towards Qi Mansion.
Getting on the carriage, taking the long silk scarf that Lu Yi handed over, Murong Shuqing carefully wrapped it around his neck. Although the injury has healed a lot, but the scar has not subsided, she doesn't want to explain the scar as soon as she arrives at Qi's house.
When she came to the capital this time, she was always a little uneasy, not knowing what else was waiting for her.
Just thinking about it, Yan Yu's voice came, "Master, it's here!"
Murong Shuqing got out of the carriage, and when he looked up, he saw the spacious and simple gate. The words "Qi Fu" in vermilion were inlaid on the wooden plaque and hung in the center of the gate. The walls of red bricks and green tiles, the gate made of bronze, and the lions standing one by one in front of the gate all show the scenery and prominent family background of the Qi family. But what is different from ordinary dignitaries is that in front of the open door of the Qi family, there is no mighty, arrogant housekeeper. There is only a handsome boy who takes care of the flowers and trees. It seems that the open door is open to you at any time. You can step into the general. At the same time, the faint air of majesty that makes people dare not make mistakes.
This is the real spirit of everyone. After seeing such a lintel, she became more interested in her grandfather Qi Zhonglin. When she was only 20 years old, she helped the late emperor to obtain the throne. He was the youngest prime minister in the history of EAST. , even in the four countries, also enjoy a high reputation. Such a man of strategic planning and power, but twenty years ago, when he was in his prime, he made a request to withdraw from the court, and the late emperor actually agreed. Since then, Qi Zhonglin has stopped interfering with the affairs of the DPRK and China. The reason, I am afraid that only he and the emperor know.
Qi Zhonglin was also the reason why she didn't come to Qi's house for three years. It would be ridiculous for such a wise person to use the excuse of amnesia to prevaricate her changes in the past three years. But how should she explain it
Well, what should come always comes. Asking Lu Yi to report, Murong Shuqing adjusted the silk scarf around her neck and stood by the shadow of the carriage waiting. The autumn sun was still very hot.
Just as Lu Yi was about to go up and explain his intentions to the doorman, he saw an old and strong figure not far away, so he happily took a step forward and shouted, "Yu Butler!"
When Yu Jian heard the call, he turned his head and saw a beautiful green-shirted woman waving at him from outside the door. He hesitated and walked up to the woman. After a closer look, he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he had to ask. Said: "You are?"
Lv Yi smiled and bowed, explaining her identity, "I'm the maid of the Murong family, Lv Yi."
Murong's house? Yu Qian patted his thigh suddenly, and quickly asked, "Oh, I remembered, is Miss Shu Qing here?" Miss Shu Qing hasn't been here for three years. Although she is sometimes arrogant and domineering, she is always It is normal for a lady of the Qi family to be proud of such a noble identity.
Facing the expectant gaze of the old housekeeper, Lu Yi smiled and nodded and replied, "Yes, Miss is right outside the door."
"Let's go, please come in." As soon as he heard that Murong Shuqing was outside the door, Yu Qian hurriedly walked out of the door while instructing the doorman behind him, "Go and tell Mrs. Madam that Miss Shuqing is here." This little grandfather was very angry.
"Yes." Seeing that the butler was so happy and excited, the little doorman knew that it must be a distinguished guest, so he swiftly ran into the house.
Yu Qian hurried to the door and looked around, but didn't see the fiery red figure, nor the crimson carriage that she loved. Just as she was about to ask where Miss Lu Yi Shu Qing was, a woman in white was tall and spacious, a pure black horse. The car turned around, walked slowly in front of him, smiled and nodded at him.
"Shu Qing...Miss?" Yu Qian called out hesitantly. This slender beauty, this elegant woman, who was walking around, where was the charming and lively Miss Shu Qing from before? Is it really the eighteenth change of the female university
"Yu Butler." Seeing the expression on the old butler's face, Murong Shuqing knew what he was thinking, or she should still wear a whip around her waist, so that everyone would not be so surprised. Imagining herself holding a leather whip and arrogant, she couldn't help laughing.
Murong Shuqing suddenly laughed lightly, Yu Qian finally recovered, and warmly greeted Murong Shuqing to enter, "Come in, the old lady was talking about you yesterday, saying that Master Rui was going to pick you up, I can't think of it now. You are here."
The old housekeeper chatted in front of him all the way, while Murong Shuqing followed leisurely in the back, enjoying the scenery of Qi Mansion by the way.
Compared with the outside hall, the inside of Qi Mansion is more simple. The all-wooden corridor looks a few years old. It is slightly mottled, but it does not appear stingy. The layout of the buildings in the mansion is exquisite, but it's a bit of a law-abiding one. Perhaps because the Qi family has always had very few women, the previous generation only had Murong Shuqing's mother Qi Yue. In this generation, apart from her, it seemed that Qi Yue's elder brother Qi Yun had a daughter named Qi Yu. The masculinity in the house is very strong, and there is a little softness. Even the plants are mainly trees, and flowers and plants are rarely seen.
While Murong Shuqing was still admiring it, he heard the old butler say, "Master, Madam, Miss Shuqing is here."
Looking up, she saw two old men walking towards her. Although Qi Zhonglin was seventy years old, he was still in good spirits; the old woman beside him should be Murong Shuqing's grandmother He Xiangjun. Her gray hair and kind face made her look very kind.
Murong Shuqing should be well-loved in the Qi family, but the two old people actually came out to greet her. Seeing that they were walking in a hurry, Murong Shuqing also quickened his pace and walked towards them.
The setting sun shone from behind Murong Shuqing, as if it had plated her with a layer of golden light, and the plain white shirt was also dyed with a touch of gold. The silk scarf on her neck fluttered gently in the breeze, sometimes entangled with her hair, and sometimes wandering with the breeze. Walking from the halo, she couldn't see her face clearly, she could only feel her light and genial smile like a feather.
Such a scene made the two old men who were about to greet them stop. He Xiangjun seemed to be about to meet them, but he didn't seem to dare to go forward, for fear of breaking the picture. His voice was trembling, his eyes filled with tears, and he whispered excitedly, "Yue'er..." Is that her Yue'er? Yeah
Moon? Murong Shuqing was a little dazed, then thought about it, Qi Yue? The old lady must have seen her and thought of her own daughter. It's just rumored that Qi Yueyan, who was in the capital, should not look like her, right? Thinking in his mind, the smile on his face has not changed.
Qi Zhonglin hugged He Xiangjun's shoulders, soothed her in a low voice, and whispered: "Xiangjun, this is Shu Qing, not Yue'er." She is indeed not Yue'er, although Yue'er is also quiet and elegant, but Yue'er With a touch of arrogance and disdain for the world. However, Shu Qing in front of him was soothing and calm, and his gestures and gestures were all vaguely confident and casual. It's just such Shu Qing, is it their Shu Qing? Qi Zhonglin's old but still sharp eyes were always watching Murong Shuqing secretly, as if he wanted to see into her heart.
Murong Shuqing's unchanging smile and calm eyes did not let him see anything.
He Xiangjun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Murong Shuqing who had walked in front of her, smiled and shook his head and said, "I, I'm always confused."
Aware of Qi Zhonglin's scrutinizing eyes, Murong Shuqing did not shy away, this was what she had expected when she came in. Slowly approaching the two old men, Murong Shuqing bent over, bowed, and greeted, "Grandpa, grandma."
Her courteous manners made He Xiangjun not used to it. He pulled her up and asked distressedly, "Are you tired? Rest in the room for a while."
Seeing them entering the house, Yu Jian greeted the housekeepers beside him to move things, "You guys, quickly move Miss Shu Qing's things to Liufangyuan, and let Feier and Xin'er go over to clean up."
Murong Shuqing, who was about to enter the inner room, turned around and smiled at the busy old housekeeper: "Yu housekeeper, don't be too busy, I just brought a box, nothing else, I'll let Lu Yiyi Just pack it up." There's only one box in total, so there's no need to prepare five or six servants to carry it. It turned out that Lu Yi didn't lie to her, Murong Shuqing had always moved when she went out.
"This..." The old butler looked at Murong Shuqing in embarrassment, and then looked at the box on the ground. Tomorrow, he should find a tailor to make some clothes for Miss Shuqing.
In the past, when Murong Shuqing came to Qi's house, he had at least 20 or 30 guards and servants with him, and several carriages for jewelry and luggage. Now there are only two guards and one servant girl. Could it be that the Murong family bullied Qing'er? He Xiangjun took a closer look at Shu Qing next to him, and he had indeed lost a lot of weight, so he took her hand and asked angrily, "Qinger, Murong Xiang asked you to bring two or three people here? He has no one in Murong's family, our Qi family has no one. You can pick it up, how dangerous it is for a girl to go out like this!"
Facing the care and favor of the old man, Murong Shuqing was always at a loss, so she had to use the trick she used to deal with her grandfather before, she took He Xiangjun's arm and said slightly coquettishly, "It's okay, grandma, I'm here safely, haven't I? ."
They were deadlocked at the door, and Qi Zhonglin said to Jian, "Okay, Qing'er is tired too. Take the luggage to Pinecui Lodge." Qi Zhonglin patted He Xiangjun's hand and said, "Xiangjun, Qinger is also tired all the way. Let her go back to rest first, and then talk slowly after dinner." He should also think about it, what happened to Shu Qing's change, and this is the reason why she hasn't come for three years? What happened to her
Murong Shuqing was indeed tired, He Xiangjun nodded and said, "Okay, Qing'er, you should have a good rest first."
"Yeah." After eight days of bumping in the carriage, he was indeed a little tired. Murong Shuqing saluted the two old men again and left with Yu Jian.
Yu Qian, who was walking in the front, was a little puzzled. Pinecui Xiaosu was the residence of Miss Yue in the past. Usually, no one was allowed to enter it casually. In the past, Miss Shu Qing thought it was deserted and didn't want to live there. Today, the master actually arranged for Miss Shu Qing to live there, is it because Miss Shu Qing is different now
