Chapter 40 Whimsical
Chapter 40 Whimsical
Mrs. Qi was so angry at Nie Wanxiang's thick skin, but she listened to Lu Rong's persuasion, and rushed out to stop Nie Wanxiang immediately.
Lu Rong was right, she had already been there once before, but now Nie Wanxiang still dares to play the piano in the yard, what is the reason for this?The old lady must have nodded.
So if she tried to stop Nie Wanxiang now, it would be tantamount to confronting the old lady.
The old lady didn't like her in the first place, if she had a conflict with the old lady because of Nie Wanxiang, the husband would not like it either.Mrs. Qi thought for a while, then temporarily suppressed her anger, and said to Lu Rong: "Go and invite the master back." Lu Rong responded and left.
Since he will arrive in the capital tomorrow and will be separated from Lu Qi and the others when he arrives in the capital, Qi Lei plans to be the host tonight and treat Lu Qi and Bai Heng well, which can be regarded as a thank you for their help along the way.
After all, Qi Lei couldn't find another carriage when he settled down in the last county, but Lu Qi said, since everyone is going to the capital, let's go together.
Besides, he took the young master of the Qi family along for a while, and he also brought it to the capital. Besides, he and Bai Heng planned to make friends with the Qi family. How could Lu Qi let go of this opportunity, so the two young masters of the Qi family decided to He has been hitchhiking with the Lu family.
So as soon as Qi Lei arrived in this county, he asked people to inquire about the famous restaurants here, then ordered a table of delicious dishes, and invited Lu Qi and Bai Heng to the banquet.
Lu Qi and Bai Heng took Manager Lu out and left Lu You and Bai Zhong in the inn. Therefore, the lawsuit between Mrs. Qi and Nie Wanxiang happened to be in the eyes of these two young men.
In fact, let them say that this cousin girl from the Qi family is acting too aggressively. How can there be a girl who is so proactive?Nie Wanxiang's thoughts are almost Sima Zhao's, and everyone knows it.
The music of the piano kept going in the yard, while Lu You and Bai Zhong in the room looked at each other, with a playful flash in their eyes at the same time.
Miss Nie wanted to hook up with her master, but she didn't find out clearly, she didn't even know if the master was there or not. ...
On the other side, Qi Lei brought Lu Qi and Bai Heng to the largest restaurant in the city. He booked a private room on the second floor and set up a table with sumptuous dishes. Besides, the two young masters of the Qi family were also there. at the table.
After all, Qi Lei is a big man, and the two children Lu Qi and Bai Heng must not have much in common, so Qi Lei brought his two sons together, thinking that they are about the same age, so they should be more talkative.
It stands to reason that Qi Lei's thinking is correct, but Bai Heng's core is a young man in his late twenties, and Lu Qi's temper and mind are much more mature than his actual age, so they have nothing in common with the young master of the Qi family.
But both Lu Qi and Bai Heng can pretend, so apart from their own self-knowledge, it seems to outsiders that the four teenagers of their age are quite able to talk together.
Seeing this, Qi Lei felt even more satisfied and relieved.
It's just that before he had time to rejoice, the servant guarding the door came in, Qi Lei's eyebrows twitched, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart, the servant walked quickly to his side, and whispered a few words.
Hearing this, Qi Lei raised his eyebrows, turned his head to say sorry to Lu Qi and Bai Heng, then got up and left the private room. As soon as he got out of the private room, Qi Lei saw Lin's mother who had been by Mrs. Qi's side in the past.
Mother Lin was anxiously waiting outside the private room, when she saw Qi Lei coming out, she hurried over, and then whispered about Mrs. Qi asking him to go back.
Qi Lei's heart sank immediately, but he also knew that if something serious hadn't happened, Mrs. Qi wouldn't have sent someone out to look for him knowing he was outside.
Thinking of this, he turned back to the private room, and said to Lu Qi and Bai Heng: "I'm really sorry, something happened, I have to leave first, Hao Wen and Hao Wu will be here with you."
"Qi Shibo has something to do first, we can do it." Lu Qi said with a smile, Qi Lei apologized again, and left in a hurry with his servant.
The brothers Qi Haowen and Qi Haowu were left by Qi Lei to entertain Lu Qi, so naturally they cheered up 12, the two brothers thought at the same time, they must let Young Master Lu and Young Master Bai have a good time. ...
On the other side, Qi Lei hurried back to the inn where he was staying with his servant and Mama Lin. As soon as he stepped into the temporary courtyard, he heard the sound of a zither. I mean it.
It's no wonder that Mrs. Qi was anxious to find him back. She wanted to send Nie Wanxiang away before Lu Qi and Bai Heng came back.Otherwise, if Lu Qi really bumped into Nie Wanxiang playing the piano in the yard, the Qi family's face would not know where to put it.
After all, although Nie Wanxiang was also playing the piano outside Lu Qi's window a few nights ago, Lu Qi was not allowed to see anyone after all. They can still push this matter to others, but if Nie Wanxiang is really exposed in front of Lu Qi today Face, the things of the past few days can't be covered.
Regardless of whether Lu Qi guessed who the person playing the piano was, as long as he didn't see it with his own eyes, Mrs. Qi could naturally try to evade it, which is why Mrs. Qi angrily went to stop Nie Wanxiang just now.
It's just that she didn't expect that Nie Wanxiang was so good that she could coax Mrs. Qi to support her.
After Qi Lei came back, after listening to Mrs. Qi's description of the matter, he knew it well, he strode out of the room and came to the courtyard, Nie Wanxiang was sitting in the pavilion in the center of the courtyard, and naturally saw Qi Lei.
When Nie Wanxiang saw Qi Lei walking towards her, her heart skipped a beat, and at the same time she was muttering to herself, since she started playing the piano, her uncle and aunt have heard the sound, why is there no sign of Young Master Lu?
Poor Nie Wanxiang didn't know that the person she was thinking of hooking up with wasn't even in the yard at the moment.
Qi Lei walked up to Nie Wanxiang in a few steps, and said in a cold voice: "Wanxiang, we are going to Beijing tomorrow, we must be more careful in our words and deeds, you should go back to your room quickly, don't come out if you have nothing to do."
This is the first time Qi Lei said such serious words to Nie Wanxiang, he almost pointed at her nose and scolded her for not knowing the rules. Nie Wanxiang was very wronged when she heard the words, she pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Uncle said What's more, it's just that my grandmother also said that Wanxiang's piano skills should not be left behind, she needs to practice every day."
When Qi Lei heard that Nie Wanxiang moved out Mrs. Qi, he felt more and more displeased. He said lightly: "I will tell my mother, don't rush to practice for a while, and besides, you don't have a master to teach you, even if you practice on your own, you are limited. , when you come to Beijing, uncle will invite famous teachers for you."
After hearing this, Nie Wanxiang's face turned red and then pale, she stood up and hugged Qin and leaned against Qi Lei, then staggered away from the pavilion.
With his hands behind his back, Qi Lei followed Nie Wanxiang calmly and entered the old lady's room.
At first, the old lady saw Nie Wanxiang enter the room with a gloomy expression, thinking that her daughter-in-law had come to trouble Xiang'er again, but when she was about to get angry, she realized that her son came in behind her granddaughter.
The old lady's heart trembled, and she heard Qi Lei say to the maids who were waiting on the side: "Take the watch girl down to rest." The maids secretly glanced at the old lady, saw the old lady nodded slightly, and then stepped forward and said to Nie Wanxiang: "Girl, my servant will take you down to rest."
Nie Wanxiang knew that her uncle had something to say to her grandmother, and she didn't want her to be there. She wanted to act like a baby to her grandmother so she could stay, but when she looked up and met her uncle's cold eyes, she didn't dare to say anything and could only Na na followed the maid and retreated out.
After Nie Wanxiang withdrew, Qi Lei waved away all the waiters in the room. At this time, the old lady could see that her son had something serious to tell her, so she also sat up straight, waiting for her son to speak .
When only the mother and son were left in the room, Qi Lei went to the old lady's place and sat down, and said to the old lady: "Mother, Wanxiang is already thirteen this year, and it will take another two years When it’s time, the proper rules should be established.”
Mrs. Qi was naturally unhappy when he alluded to Nie Wanxiang's lack of rules, so she snorted coldly and said, "Xiang'er's rules are very good, do you feel that Xiang'er only listens to someone's bad words?" Is it okay?"
Qi Lei frowned at his mother's pointed words. He knew that there was some conflict between his mother and his wife, but he never thought that his wife would have such an image in his mother's heart.
However, he did not directly defend his wife, but said lightly: "Mother's words are serious. I don't think Wanxiang is not good after hearing someone's words, but Wanxiang's own performance is really disappointing."
"What's wrong with Xiang'er's performance? You even used the word disappointment." The old lady was even more dissatisfied when she heard the words, and asked with a frown.
"Mother, isn't it disappointing enough for a girl who hasn't left the court to play the piano in front of people in the yard?" Qi Lei saw that the old lady was a little stubborn, so he simply spoke up.
"Where is it as serious as you said? Isn't this courtyard full of our people?" The old lady said indifferently, waving her hand.
Hearing this, Qi Lei frowned tightly enough, and said in a low voice: "Mother, besides our family members, there are also Young Master Lu and his party in this yard, did you forget about them?"
Unexpectedly, when the old lady heard this, a meaningful smile flashed across her face. She said to Qi Lei: "How could I forget Young Master Lu, but you are too nervous. According to me, if Xiang'er can get to know you through this Young Master Lu, it's also a good match."
Qi Lei never expected that his mother would have such an idea, he almost didn't jump up when he heard it, so he said angrily: "Mother, you actually... unexpectedly... Could it be that Wanxiang's matter is a serious matter?" It's really you..."
"What are you in a hurry for?" The old lady gave him a sideways glance, and then said flatly: "Since your daughter-in-law's eyes are high and she doesn't like Xiang'er, then what's wrong with me planning for Xiang'er?"
Qi Lei was really dumbfounded when he heard this, he stuttered and couldn't speak, he really didn't know where his mother got the confidence and confidence to think that Young Master Lu would fall in love with Nie Wanxiang, an orphan girl?
