Herb Family [Rebirth]

Chapter 38

After the young master of the Qi family got into the carriage, Lu Qi and his party continued on the road.

Sitting in the large carriage, the two brothers of the Qi family felt a little uneasy. They didn't expect the carriage to look invisible from the outside, but they didn't expect that all the decorations inside should be complete.

They had never been in such a comfortable carriage before, as they grew up.

Little did they know that they were still riding in the carriages of the servants of the Lu family. If they were allowed to take a look at Lu Qi and Bai Heng's carriages, they would know what real luxury and comfort are.

The two brothers of the Qi family are older than Lu Qi and Bai Heng. Big brother Qi is older and will be seventeen this year. Younger brother Qi is older than Lu Qi and will be around fifteen this year. So when they know that Lu Qi and Bai Heng When Heng's two children set off from their hometown to go to the capital, they couldn't help feeling a sense of admiration in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, Brother Lu and Little Brother Bai were so brave, they left their hometown at a young age, but the two brothers whispered in private, and I don't know what the elders of the two families think, why did they let their two children go out alone?

In fact, it is not difficult to guess. Mrs. Lu received a letter from her family and had to send Lu Qi to Beijing. Although Lu Qi's going to Beijing is good for her, she is not Lu Qi's biological mother, so she naturally does not want to accompany him to the capital. Take a trip.

Speaking of which, Uncle Lu wanted to take the opportunity to show his face in the capital, but the bloody confession made the relationship between father and son a little awkward, and Mrs. Lu sent Lu Qi away early. Things are still busy, and there is no time to arrange to follow him to Beijing.

As for how could the Bai family have the nerve to say that they would accompany Bai Heng to Beijing?After all, even Bai Heng came to Beijing because of Lu Qi's favor, no matter how brainless Uncle Bai is, he would not dare to offend the Lu family at this time.

So in the end, the two children, Lu Qi and Bai Heng, went on the road alone.

However, it is impossible for the Lu family to really rest assured that the two children will go to the distant capital. This old man gave up his most useful manager, Xiao Bai, to ensure that Lu Qi can reach the capital safely.

Naturally, these young masters of the Qi family didn't know, so in their eyes, it became the two pitiful children Lu Qi and Bai Heng going on the road alone.

Lu Qi and Bai Heng didn't care what the young master of the Qi family thought. The reason why they agreed to take each other for a ride was just to sell the Qi family's favor. After all, Qi Shilang has a bright future, and it would be good for the Su Palace if he can make friends with the Qi family.

If King Su knew that they had friendship with the Qi family, Lu Qi's chances of being selected to accompany him would be greatly increased.

Lu Qi's trip to Beijing this time was to compete for Su Wang's companionship. The reason why Bai Heng was able to come to Beijing with him was the bargaining chip prepared by Mrs. Lu for Lu Qi.

Both Lu Qi and Bai Heng knew this well. Lu Qi didn't want to implicate Bai Heng in his heart, so he was extremely resistant at the beginning and took Bai Heng on the road together. In fact, he was always on guard against Mrs. Lu from the bottom of his heart. hurt him.

So when Mrs. Lu proposed to let Bai Heng go to Beijing together, Lu Qi's first reaction was that Mrs. Lu was playing tricks again.If it hadn't been for Jane's mother talking to him later, and Bai Heng's persuasion, he would not have easily nodded and agreed to let Bai Heng go with him.

Bai Heng knew Madam Lu's methods. Since Madam Lu had found Bai Zhongfu, Bai Heng knew that he had to go if he didn't want to go on this trip to the capital. Bow your head, you can get more benefits, can't you?

Sure enough, when Mrs. Lu saw Bai Heng on the road, she was satisfied, and generously satisfied the requirements of Bai Heng and Lu Qi.Bai Heng thought of the medicinal herbs in the last carriage, and a hidden smile appeared on the corner of his lips. ...

Closer to home, after the Qi family's team joined the Lu family's team, the forward speed inevitably slowed down. Because the Qi family's team had female relatives and an elderly lady, the speed of the team couldn't be increased.

Fortunately, Mrs. Lu asked Lu Qi to leave early, so even if the speed of the convoy slowed down at this time, it would not delay Lu Qi's time to enter Beijing.

But Lu Qi didn't care, but Qi Lei felt very sorry, so he restrained the team of Qi's team more and more, in order not to cause trouble to the other party.

Because the Qi family was delayed on the road for a while, when the convoy arrived at the next county, it was already dark. Fortunately, Manager Xiaobai had the foresight to send someone over to book a room in advance, otherwise it would be too late to enter the city at this time I don't know if I can find a place to stay.

After all, the closer you are to the capital, the more caravans come and go, and the more scarce the rooms in the inn.

After arriving at the inn, Lu Qi and Bai Heng still lived in the same room. This time, because there were more Qi family members, the upper room was full, so Manager Xiao Bai had to lead people to guard the stairs leading to the upper room.

The Qi family had different thoughts in their hearts when they saw such a big battle in the Lu family.

Qi Lei and his wife didn't think there was anything wrong with this, after all, the two children went on the road alone, and the guards who escorted them always had to take good care of them.

Mrs. Qi didn't feel that something was wrong, she just murmured to Nie Wanxiang, "It seems that the young master of the Lu family has a lot of background, and we may have met a nobleman this time."

The old lady was just talking casually, but Nie Wanxiang was paying attention.

Nie Wanxiang's mother is the daughter of Mrs. Qi and Qi Lei's older sister. She married out of town in her early years, and her husband's family was originally well-to-do. But when Nie Wanxiang was ten years old, Nie's father died unexpectedly while away from home. Nie's mother heard the bad news. I couldn't afford to get sick, so I went with him soon after.

Nie's father and Nie's mother have only one daughter, Nie Wanxiang. Nie Wanxiang lost her parents overnight. Mrs. Qi feels sorry for her granddaughter who is alone. In addition, other members of the Nie family are busy fighting for the family property. No one can care about this little orphan. female.

So Mrs. Qi simply took the man over and raised him in the Qi family.

Nie Wanxiang has been in the Qi family for three years, and now she is a 13-year-old girl. Mrs. Qi has loved her a lot these years, but Qi Lei and Mrs. Qi have treated her indifferently.

Mrs. Gein originally planned to let Nie Wanxiang marry into the Qi family, and she and the two young masters of the Qi family were cousins, so they happened to be close. Moreover, Mrs. Qi was Nie Wanxiang's aunt, and this relationship was also added. I'm not afraid that Mrs. Qi will treat Nie Wanxiang badly.

It's just that the old lady has a good idea, but Qi Lei and his wife don't want Nie Wanxiang as a daughter-in-law at all.

It's not that Qi Lei and his wife look down on Nie Wanxiang's family background, but that Nie Wanxiang has lived in Qi's family for three years. How could Qi Lei and his wife not know what kind of temperament she is?

Therefore, Mrs. Qi bit her to death and did not let go, and often refused to accept her mother-in-law's temptation. After a few times, Mrs. Qi also saw that Mrs. Qi did not want her granddaughter to be her daughter-in-law.

Madam Qi naturally complained to Madam Qi at first, but when Qi Lei also expressed his disagreement, Madam Qi hesitated.Mrs. Qi's husband and son-in-law have passed away for many years. The old lady is a traditional woman who adheres to the concept of obeying the father at home, obeying the husband when married, and obeying the son when the husband dies. .

After all, the old lady had brought Nie Wanxiang by her side for three years, so it was impossible to know her temperament.On weekdays, it is just because I think of my deceased beloved daughter, so I take care of my granddaughter more and be more tolerant.

But compared with the son and grandchildren, the son's family is naturally more important.

So earlier, she would tease Nie Wanxiang and the old lady of the Qi family brothers, but she hadn't mentioned this at all in the past year. Nie Wanxiang naturally knew in her heart that she had no chance to marry her cousin.

Originally, Nie Wanxiang had fantasized about marrying her cousin when the old lady mentioned it cryptically. The two cousins ​​of the Qi family were also born with bushy eyebrows and big eyes, and they were very energetic. So Nie Wanxiang was naturally willing.

Unexpectedly, she liked the Qi family, but the Qi family didn't like her.

When the old lady later sighed and said that she wanted to see someone for her, Nie Wanxiang didn't hate her in her heart. She felt that she was being played by others. Shatter her hopes and embarrass her like this.

Resentment accumulated in Nie Wanxiang's heart, just as the Qi family received a letter from the capital, and the whole family was going to move to the capital, Nie Wanxiang thought, she must find a husband who is better than the Qi family in all aspects, and put him in the Qi family in the future It's better to return all the anger you get.

With such a lofty goal in mind, Nie Wanxiang became active after meeting the Lu family convoy.

Especially after staying in the inn, seeing the arrangement of the Lu family's motorcade and the attitude of Manager Xiaobai waiting in full force, her heart became more and more fiery. Coupled with Mrs. Qi's words of "meeting a noble person", Nie Wanxiang decided, absolutely He wanted to catch the young master of the Lu family. ...

Naturally, Lu Qi and Bai Heng didn't know that someone in the Qi family motorcade had Lu Qi's idea.

At this time, they were reviewing the relationship diagram of the aristocratic family that they had sorted out earlier, and they were getting closer and closer to the capital, and the two of them became more and more nervous, especially Bai Heng, who had never been to the capital in his two lifetimes, began to doubt his own identity. Is this the right decision?

At the beginning, he wanted to get close to Lu Qi, apart from wanting to resolve a future enemy, it was because he had heard people say in his previous life that Lu Qi's backer was very powerful.

In his previous life, he couldn't guess Lu Qi's backer, but in this life, he thought of Lu Qi's coming to Beijing this time. Could it be that Lu Qi's backer is the son of King Su?

Although he didn't remember hearing that Lu Qi went to Beijing when he was a child in his previous life, he was in a daze in his previous life, and the relationship between the Lu family and the Bai family was not good, even if Lu Qi really went to Beijing, he wouldn't know .

So this time when he heard that Lu Qi was going to Beijing, he only hesitated for a moment, then followed Mrs. Lu's wishes, nodded and agreed to go to Beijing together.Apart from wanting to have a good relationship with Lu Qi, he also really wanted to revive the former glory of the Bai family.

Lu Qi's mind is very simple, he just wants to get rid of Mrs. Lu's control, wants to have the power to compete with the Lu family, and it is best to challenge the Xu family.

He wanted to restore his true identity, and apart from Mrs. Lu, the Xu family would not agree.Originally, the Xu family probably didn't care whether he was Mrs. Lu's son or not, but if he really became the companion of Prince Su's son, then the Xu family would not allow the relationship between him and Mrs. Lu to break down.
