17, Chapter Seventeen(1/2)
Qi Chi stood on the stairs and had not moved yet, and then someone came in again.
It was Luo Xiaoyi. As soon as he stepped into the door, he said, "Sister-in-law, don't get me wrong."
He just saw his third brother leaving, and thought that the couple had a quarrel, but he knew that his third brother didn't like to talk much, so he came to explain.
Qichi put his hands in his sleeves, and he didn't say anything, just listened to him.
Luo Xiaoyi said: "That woman was sent by Governor Gaolan as a companion. It cannot be said that she was a bad intention and pleased the third brother. This year, I have already told him that he would bring his sister-in-law here. I thought he would not dare to do such things. I guess the woman was used to coming and came by himself. Anyway, it was not the third brother who found her. Besides, the third brother seemed to be disliked by the woman. I was with the third brother every day, so I never saw that woman enter his room."
He felt that he understood very well when it came to this point.
Isn’t it enough to say a thousand words? His third brother has never touched that woman before?
However, Qi Chi in front of him was still standing and not saying a word.
He was a little anxious, coughed twice in his throat, and lowered his voice awkwardly: "How can my sister-in-law believe in the third brother? He has invested all his money in the army, so how can he have spare money to support women?"
If it weren't for helplessness, I wouldn't really want to say that.
This is too shameless for his third brother.
Qi Chi raised his sleeve and covered his lower lip, otherwise he would not be able to smile, and then said, "So he has no spare money, which is a good thing for me."
Luo Xiaoyi smiled even more awkwardly: "That's right."
That's right, but I always feel that my third brother has lost his face.
After all, he is also a high-ranking and powerful gurus. No other powerful tyrant has three wives and four concubines.
His third brother is an exception. He was originally a struggle in the military camp. He had no choice but to be determined. He didn't have the habit of spending money and drinking, and he encountered such a situation in the north again. He was really the most miserable one among the powerful and powerful.
Qichi looked at his face and knew that he had no choice but to say this. It was not difficult for him. He nodded and said, "I know what I know, don't worry."
Luo Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief: "I wonder if my sister-in-law and third brother have not disclosed the money yet, so don't make a fuss again. Since my sister-in-law said that, I'll feel relieved."
After saying that, he went out again, and when he arrived at the door, he looked back at her expression, and he left only after he was sure there was nothing wrong.
Qichi watched him out and turned around and stepped onto the stairs.
Until the pavilion, she stood by the floor and looked down.
I saw Fu Ting's figure leaving.
The man's military uniform was close to his body, and his back, with wide shoulders and narrow waist, was as if his body was loose.
She looked at it and thought about what Luo Xiaoyi said.
Actually, I've guessed it long ago.
He, a great gubernator, had something to do with that woman, just just go directly to the mansion, and who can say anything?
But he confiscated it.
If a man like him can be so easily attached to him, she won't have to work so hard.
She picked up her fingers, clicked on his back from the air, and circled it gently.
It seems that he has been completely trapped.
There was a smile on my lips.
"Honor."
Behind him, Xinlu and Qiushuang arrived.
Qi Chi came back to his senses, smiled, withdrew his hand, and said, "Let's go and see what kind of woman he is."
As we walked along the way, the faint sound of music became closer and closer.
Xinlu and Qiushuang walked first, and went to the door of the room, one left and one right, and opened the door curtain.
The originally musical sound in the room stopped suddenly.
Qi Chi took his clothes and walked in. He looked up and saw a woman kneeling on the desk, with her hair tied in a slanted bun, a colorful skirt, a snow-white face, and a pair of thin eyebrows and eyes, which were quite charming.
I saw a phoenix-headed qin in front of her again.
Xinlu was about to reveal her identity as the head of the monk, but she didn't expect that she asked her to take it first.
She walked two steps and bowed: "It must be the third brother's wife who has arrived. I am a concubine Du Xinnu, and ask the wife for her peace."
Xinlu and Qiushuang both turned cold when they heard this. They actually called the third brother of Dadu, and went to see the head of the family almost at the same time.
Qi Chi looked calm, and he could tell the woman's thoughts in one sentence.
I just want to annoy her.
According to Luo Xiaoyi, this title is nothing more than what Luo Xiaoyi heard.
This person named Du Xinnu is actually a smart person.
She waved her hand to Qiushuang, called her over and whispered a few times.
After listening to it, Qiu Shuang quickly walked out.
Qichi then walked to the desk and sat down with his clothes.
Du Xinnu gave in to the bottom, looking extremely respectful, making people unable to find any mistakes.
She didn't want to pick anything wrong, so she glanced at the phoenix-headed guzheng and said, "I heard that you are proficient in guzheng, so maybe you can play a song for me?"
Du Xinnu was stunned and raised her head, then she saw clearly the Madam Protector.
The woman on the table was covered with a scarlet cloak, black hair and cloudy hair, white skin than snow, slightly pointed jaw, and a pair of eyes with distinct black and white eyes.
To her surprise, she turned out to be a beautiful person.
She was an outsider and didn't know the inside story. However, seeing that the archer always came alone in the past, she guessed that he must be dissatisfied with his original wife.
But now, what's there to be dissatisfied with with this appearance?
After thinking about it, I was so excited that I wanted to make this lady angry and gain a reputation of obedience. Perhaps it could be called mercy by the Great Protector and beside me.
But the lady in front of her was not angry.
Not only was he not angry, he also looked calm and sat upright, as if he really wanted to listen to the song.
Du Xinnu couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he had to smile on his face and replied: "I can only take this trick. Since my wife wants to listen, she will naturally follow it."
After saying that, he walked to the phoenix head qin, raised his arms and gently stroked it.
The music pours out and the gurgles continue.
Sometimes it is continuous, sometimes it is crescendo, ethereal, like the wind returning from the mountains.
Qi Chi just heard the beginning and realized that this woman was superb.
A long song.
Until nearly the end, Qiushuang returned.
There were two servants behind him, each carrying a box in, put it down and retreated.
Du Xinnu stroked the gonghou with his hand and his eyes were already aiming at the two boxes.
He glanced at the woman sitting upright on the desk again, guessing her intention in his heart, and with a stroke of his hand, he closed the tail.
Qichi nodded and said, "Reward."
Qiu Shuang lifted up a box, took a piece of red gauze from it, and placed it next to the guzheng.
Du Xinnu was surprised and realized that the box contained such expensive and thin silk.
She rolled her eyes and asked, "What is Madam doing?"
Will you actually reward her?
She almost wondered if the lady had forgotten that she was here to compete for favor with her.
Qi Chi smiled lightly: "If you have this skill, you should receive this reward, just hold it."
This is a true saying. Even as the county lord, she rarely hears such wonderful guzheng songs.
Just talking about this woman's attainments, she is indeed convinced.
She was light and simple in this trip, and most of the money she brought was flying. These were collected by Qiushuang just asked her to go to the nearest silk shop under her name.
Du Xinnu has been silent for a long time.
She had discovered that this lady was not at all different from what she thought.
When Qichi saw her staring at her and not talking, he knew what she was thinking.
He didn't say much, just said, "But there are some specialties, just pop it up."
Xinlu and Qiushuang looked at each other speechlessly.
What's wrong with the head of the family?
This is a person who is openly here to help the Protectorate. It would be fine if he didn't do anything, but he even gave rewards, as if he was here to listen to the song.
When Fu Ting returned to the top pavilion, he heard a melodious music from afar.
He stood in front of the stairs and stopped.
I remembered the woman who stood here before.
Thinking of her words "This is what you said", I couldn't help but pursed my lips.
I thought I was afraid that he would regret it.
