Yuelai restaurant includes food and lodging, even though Qi Wang already has enough money, he still has no plans to leave.
Three or four days before the incident, there was an endless stream of people who came to see the novelty, and Qi Wang also made a lot of money by relying on these people, but as time went by, there was no news from the county government. Come on, the number of people who come to look for Qi Wang is less and less, and the money is naturally not earned.
Qi Wang was transferred from the lobby to the back kitchen again, but he didn't take it seriously and continued to do what he was doing seriously.
Perhaps because there was no news for a long time, some people who were faintly supporting him returned to their original appearance, and their attitudes became even worse than before, especially Master Zhang who was originally carrying Qi Wang. Previously refusing to be his apprentice, Master Zhang inevitably spoke in a strange way.
"One has to be self-aware. Do you really think that you are a wealthy young master from a rich family? You don't even care about doing a good job. If you don't have this job, how can you survive?"
After the time of Xu, there were not many people who came to eat in the restaurant, and the chefs in the back kitchen were at leisure. They only needed to cook vegetables, and other trivial matters were handled by helpers like Qi Wang.
After he was free, Master Zhang thought about the fact that he wanted to take Qi Huang as his apprentice but was rejected by him, and he was not angry, so he couldn't help stabbing him a few words.
Although no names were mentioned, who doesn't know the people in the back kitchen? Everyone naturally knows who Master Zhang is talking about.
The other chefs were not familiar with Qi Wang, and when Master Zhang spoke, everyone just responded with a few words casually, and did not follow his words.
Although the county magistrate has not made a final conclusion yet and cannot confirm Qi Wang's identity, isn't the case still pending? If he is the prime minister's son, wouldn't they offend everyone by talking nonsense
Qi Wang turned a deaf ear to Master Zhang's comments, and was busy with the things in hand. He neatly cleaned up the chopping board, and then took the bowls and chopsticks to clean it. It was obvious that everyone was doing the same thing, but he was the only one. It is very pleasing to watch.
Seeing that Qi Wang didn't seem to take their words to heart, and there was no reaction from the beginning to the end, everyone felt a little bored, and gradually stopped saying anything.
Master Zhang wanted to continue jumping, but after ignoring his people, Master Zhang felt like he was singing a one-man show, which was a little awkward. After a few murmurs, he said nothing more.
After finishing the day's work, Qi Wang returned to his room, and after a simple wash, Qi Wang lay on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.
At about three quarters of the day, there was a commotion outside, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and soon outside Qi Huang's room, there was a knocking sound on the door, and a strange voice sounded outside.
"Young Master Qi, please open the door, the county magistrate is here to invite you."
The yamen servants outside the door spoke very politely—the county magistrate gave them thousands of reminders before they came, telling them to invite them politely. Lord Ling didn't say anything. Although they had some guesses, they couldn't be sure. But this time, from the attitude shown by Lord Magistrate, it can be seen that he is 90% likely to be the son of the prime minister's family.
Qi Huang got up and put on his clothes, walked slowly to open the door.
There were three yamen servants standing outside the door, and not far away were other workers in the yard. The big guys were woken up by their movements, and they were looking outside at this time, but perhaps because they were afraid of the yamen servants, they dared not Come here to join in the fun, only dare to whisper about Qi Huang's affairs.
Qi Wang's hearing is excellent, and all their discussions fell into Qi Wang's ears.
"The yamen servants have come to the door, it seems that Qi Erzhu's identity should be real."
"Hey, I'm really envious of me. Is the yamen servant going to invite him back to be the young master?"
"Who knows? Why is his luck so good? How can such a good thing not happen to us?"
"Don't say that, what's his luck? If he was really lucky, he would have been a noble son in the capital long ago. He can enjoy endless delicacies from mountains and seas, and he can wear silk and satin endlessly. How can he be like this now? , still have to be a boy haha?"
"No matter how you say it, now he has suffered enough, and Qing can just wait for a better life in the future."
Those discussions just passed by Qi Wang's ears without leaving any traces. Facing the yamen servant standing outside the door, Qi Wang's expression still didn't change much.
"Brother Cha, I don't know why the county magistrate is looking for me?"
Qi Wang's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and he didn't have the look of sincerity and fear when others saw them. This look made him look at him highly, thinking that he was worthy of being the son of the prime minister's family. Always the same.
Therefore, the yamen servant's attitude became more respectful: "Young Master Qi, the county magistrate didn't say what happened, but I think it's not a bad thing, especially for Young Master Qi."
Although he didn't say it clearly, the implication in his words was already very obvious. Qi Wang could sense that he was showing favor to him. It seems that his identity can almost be determined, otherwise, the yamen servant would not treat him like this polite.
Qi Wang naturally accepted this kindness, he didn't say anything more and left with the yamen servants, after he left, everyone discussed again, but Qi Wang couldn't hear him anymore.
In the backyard of the county government office, after Lin Qinshuang asked the county magistrate to bring Qi Erzhu, she fell into a state of panic. The handkerchief she held in her hand was about to be strangled by her. But it has never been able to settle down.
Mother Xu served her as a young follower, and she was the most loyal. Seeing that his wife was so anxious, Mother Xu couldn't help persuading her: "Ma'am, the matter has come to this point, don't worry, how will we see you later?" Let's talk about it."
Mother Xu is the only one who knows why Lin Qinshuang came to this little Lishui County. In fact, when she knew that the second young master in the mansion was not the wife's own son, but the son of a farmer, and that the real second young master of their family was suffering in the countryside, Xu The shock in Mammy's heart can be imagined.
Lin Qinshuang has a soft temperament. She is a pampered young lady at home. When she is married, the husband and wife love each other, and they sing harmoniously. She has no in-laws to set the rules, and her husband is competitive. She can be said to live a smooth life.
If you want to say that the only suffering you have suffered in this life is that you met a refugee when you went to work with your husband, and you were separated from your family.
It was also because it was too hard to give birth to the second young master, so Lin Qinshuang inevitably had a partiality for this child. Even the third young lady who was born later was actually not as favored as the second young master.
Lin Qinshuang has held the second young master in her palm for so many years, only to find out that the second young master is not the wife's real child, her real child was replaced by a peasant woman, and what she loves is just a fake, how about Lin Qinshuang? Can bear it
Traveling was hard work, these days Lin Qinshuang couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep, she lost a lot of weight, Mammy Xu saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart.
Now that the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think about it. It is impossible for the Prime Minister's Mansion to treat a child of unknown origin as their own child. The most important thing for them now is to find out whether this person outside is really the Second Young Master.
Lin Qinshuang felt very uncomfortable. She glanced at Madam Xu and said softly, "If it's true, what should we do? Yan Ran is pregnant and Yingying is still so young. If it's true, what should they do?" ?”
Yingying is Qi Wang's eldest daughter, Qi Minying,
After all, it's just that I don't want to part with the child raised by my family.
Mother Xu knew that her wife was the most soft-hearted and extremely affectionate. Even if it wasn't her own child, after twenty years of raising her, the pain was in her bones. Now that she knew that the other party was not her own child, how could she bear it
Mother Xu had no choice but to comfort Lin Qinshuang's emotions with a gentle voice. After coaxing her for a long time, she finally managed to coax her. However, not long after Lin Qinshuang's emotions stabilized, the county magistrate came in to report, It is said that Qi Erzhu was brought here, and he is waiting outside at this moment, and can be recruited at any time.
Lin Qinshuang, who had just calmed down, had wet eyes again, and she felt timid in her heart. For a moment, she wanted to ask the county magistrate to send her away, so that she would never appear in front of her.
However, just as this idea came up, Lin Qinshuang was startled, her face turned pale.
That might be her own son, the child she conceived in October and gave birth through hard work. How could she have such an idea? When did she become so scary
Lin Qinshuang's complexion changed, but she finally made up her mind - no matter what, let's meet someone first, maybe it's not true...
After receiving Lin Qinshuang's words, the county magistrate responded, turned around and left the room. Not long after, a tall figure came in from outside.
Lin Qinshuang kept looking at the doorway nervously. When the man walked in, her heartbeat began to increase rapidly, and her own heartbeat was all around her ears, so she couldn't think properly.
Nanny Xu was also very nervous, but compared to Lin Qinshuang, she was much better. After the man came in, Nanny Xu's eyes immediately fell on the man's face.
With just one glance, Mammy Xu knew that there was a high probability that the news of the child change was true.
His appearance is too similar to the eldest son, and Lin Qinshuang's shadow can be seen in his eyebrows.
The second young master in the mansion looked ordinary, and he didn't look like anyone in his family. Compared with him, the person in front of him looked more like his own second young master.
"Ma'am, look at him."
After being reminded by Madam Xu, Lin Qinshuang's eyes fell on Qi Huang's face.
Maybe there is really a special bond between mother and child. When she saw Qi Wang's face, all the previous luck disappeared completely. Her face was pale, and her eyes kept lingering on the other's face.
Eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth...
Every place is so similar, and there are many similarities with her husband, eldest son, daughter, and herself.
Others may be able to deceive people, but the fetters brought about by blood relationship cannot deceive people, he is really his own son.
Lin Qinshuang's body began to tremble violently, her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't make any sound. Her legs were weak and she wanted to stand up, but she couldn't get up after holding on for several times. Madam Xu helped her, and she stood up from the chair.
Supported by Nanny Xu, Lin Qinshuang staggered to Qi Wang's side. She raised her hand and placed it on that familiar yet unfamiliar face.
"It's you, you are my child, you are really my child..."
Lin Qinshuang said, tears streaming down her cheeks, she let out a whine, rushed over, and hugged Qi Huang tightly.
"Son, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I didn't take good care of you, I'm sorry..."
As she spoke, Lin Qinshuang burst into tears uncontrollably.
Grandma Xu stood aside, seeing Lin Qinshuang crying like this, she felt sore in her heart, and couldn't help but took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
Madam's life is really hard, and so is this child. He shouldn't have suffered all of this, it's all because of that greedy woman...
Mother Xu hated the woman who replaced the child, and at the same time secretly made a decision in her heart. When the matter was over, she must report to the master and let him severely punish that bitch.
The woman in his arms cried bitterly, and Qi Wang felt his eyes were a little sour. This is the emotion of the original owner. When he was alive, he never knew his own life experience, nor did he know that his biological mother had such deep affection for him. Feelings.
If he hadn't been killed, he could be reunited with his parents and enjoy his mother's love for him.
Seeing that the person in his arms was crying more and more sadly, Qi Huang raised his hand and patted her on the back lightly.
"Madam, I'm actually doing pretty well, don't cry."
It's okay if he doesn't talk, but after saying this, Lin Qinshuang cried even louder, life in the countryside is hard, so where should I go? She clearly remembered that when he came in just now, he was wearing white clothes from washing, and the shoes under his feet were fringed after wearing for an unknown amount of time. Talk about good
It's all that bloody bitch.
In the end, Nanny Xu came forward to coax Lin Qinshuang. She dragged Qi Wang to the table and sat down, staring at him without blinking, and she couldn't bear to move her eyes away.
This is the child who was conceived in October. I have never taken care of him in the past 20 years. It is my fault that he has suffered so much here...
"Your name is Erzhu, right? This name is not good. You should be called Qi Wang, with the word Zidan. You are my son, the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion..."
Qi Wang was silent, as if he didn't know what to say.
Lin Qinshuang wiped her eyes and tried to smile: "Son, can you tell me what kind of life you have lived these years? I want to know, can you tell me?"
As she spoke, she looked at Qi Wang longingly, wondering what kind of life he had lived during the twenty years that she hadn't participated in.
The hands she was holding were covered with calluses, which made her delicate palms ache, but Lin Qinshuang was reluctant to let him go.
It was all her fault, if she hadn't protected her child well, if she hadn't discovered early that the child in the mansion was not her own, he would not have suffered these hardships.
