Chapter 26 Qifu Mother and Daughter Say goodbye

Time flies, and six days have passed since the old lady's birthday. The affairs of the general's mansion were also handled properly. The gift lists and gifts were put into the warehouse, and the gifts that should be sent were also ordered to be delivered door to door.

Everything in the house is on the right track. The mother and daughter of the Qi family from Tongcheng came to celebrate their birthday, but now that the old lady's birthday has passed, there is naturally no reason to stay in the general's mansion. Mrs. Qi came to the old lady with her daughter Qi Xinlan early in the morning. Even if she wanted to return to Tongcheng, she must officially resign, otherwise she would lose her etiquette and make the people of the general's mansion laugh.

"Madam, I'm here to say goodbye to you today. We have begun to arrange to leave the capital and return to Tongcheng's hometown in three days." Mrs. Qi said.

"It's not easy to come here. Why did you say you were leaving after living for less than a month? My old woman is really a little reluctant!" The old lady was polite. In fact, she was not close to the Qi family, but she still respected each other in face. Naturally, she had to retain it politely.

"Oh, old lady, I can't bear to part with you! It's just that there are still so many things in Tongcheng's house, which are all in my hands. It's not easy to take a trip to the capital in my spare time. Next time you have another birthday, I will definitely come to see you again. Mrs. Qi smiled and said that there were brilliant flowers on her face.

Mrs Qi doesn't know what her daughter is thinking. If she knows, she will naturally not take the initiative to resign. Even if she wants to leave, she will definitely try her best to match it first.

Qixinlan has been hiding her deep love for Leng Haochen, and no one knows it except Chunxiang and Chunxiao. Even telling these two is because there is nothing she can do, because she needs someone to help her do something.

"Okay, in this case, I won't keep you much. In order to avoid the women in your house, Qi's house still relies on you, the mother-in-law, to preside over the overall situation. However, you are about to leave, and you are not in a hurry for a moment. I will order you to go down and set up a good banquet for you as if it is practice for you. The old lady said that this practice banquet must be invited, which is both a courtesy and a rule that does not become.

"Then our mother and daughter will wait to eat your banquet. However, the general's mansion and Qi's mansion are originally relatives. The old lady doesn't have to worry too much. She doesn't have to be too extravagant and wasteful. It doesn't matter if she eats ordinary meals. It's just a meaning. It's okay if you feel like it." Mrs. Qi said, but the old lady will still arrange luxurious banquets, and the general's mansion is not short of money, so there is no need to be too shabby.

"Well, you don't have to worry about these trivial things. Your mother and daughter have a good rest these two days. If you want to go around the streets of the capital, I will ask Chen'er to accompany you. I think the house is too busy these days. If there is a place to take good care of, don't be angry with my old woman. You will leave in three days, and I will arrange it now. Remember to eat the practice banquet I invited the day after tomorrow. Although the old lady has a childish habit, after all, she is over the age and the old mother of a large family like the general's mansion. Naturally, she speaks and does things thoughtfully.

"Then thank the old lady first." With that, Mrs. Qi took Qi Xinlan away.

Qi Xinlan was happy. With the old lady's words just now, she could just go to her beloved cousin Chen and let him take her to the street to play and see the prosperity of the capital.

"Mother, Xinlan is also idle. She really wants to go to the street. At least it's not easy to come to the capital. Xinlan also wants to see the bustle and prosperity of the capital. She also wants to buy some gifts and give them to her father, brother and aunt. Qi Xinlan said that her heart was flying at this time, and she was looking forward to finding her cousin Chen.

Mrs. Qi thought for a moment and nodded with acquiescence.

"Great, mother, Xinlan will definitely buy you a lot of fun and delicious food." Qixinlan hugged her mother's childish coquettishness and was happy beyond words.

Mrs Qi's expression is spoiled. She has only two daughters in her life, one of whom is missing, and she is said to be dead. Now there is only this daughter left, which is naturally spoiled.

Mrs. Qi scratched Qi Lan's beautiful little nose and warned her, "It's not appropriate for you to go out alone. This place in the capital is mixed with fish and dragons, and it is not safe for you as a girl to go out. Just now, your grandma also spoke. If you want to go out, you can let cousin Chen lead the way. Although men and women are not close to each other, after all, you are cousins. At that time, you will take Chunxiao and Chunxiang with you. If you think your cousin Chen should also take the boy all the way, it should be a good thing.

"I know, mother, Xinlan is not a child anymore. Naturally, there is a sense of moderation in my heart." Qi Xinlan said, but she couldn't wait for her to be with Leng Haochen, and the rest of the people could flash away from her.

"You are not too small. When will you consider your lifelong event? My mother is dying of worry about this matter. There are so many marriage proposals in Tongcheng, and there are many men in good conditions, but you don't like any of them. This time when I came to the capital, my mother and the old lady paid special attention to some young talents, and my mother also mentioned it to you before. Is there anything more? If so, don't be ashamed. Tell your mother directly that she will naturally find a way for you. Mrs. Qi spoils her daughter. As long as the man her daughter likes, she will naturally do her best to help.

Qixinlan shook her head. Although she knew that her mother loved her very much, she could not tell her that she liked Leng Haochen. Because Qi's whole house knows that Leng Haochen and Miss Qixinhui are two little guessless. If she is not 100% successful, she can't tell anyone, and her mother is too impatient to help. If she helps, it will mostly cause chaos.

"Alas!" Mrs. Qi sighed deeply and finally said nothing. Her daughter is so worry-free.

Qi Xinlan had the old lady's golden words and got her mother's consent. She quickly returned to her room and found what she thought was the most beautiful lavender gauze skirt. After bathing and changing clothes, she asked Chunxiao and Chunxiang to help her draw a peach blossom makeup in front of the dresser and smiled at the bronze mirror, which was charming. Beautiful again.

"Bir my pearl pin." Qixinlan said that although this pearlpin is not as luxurious as the precious jewelry in the Qixinlan jewelry box, it is a gift given to Qixinlan when Leng Haochen visited Tongcheng many years ago. Qi Xinlan likes it. As long as she is the happiest, she will take it out and wear it.

Chun Xiao helped Qi Xinlan comb her hair and inserted the pearl hairpin into the dark bun. After dressing up, Qi Xinlan turned around the bronze mirror and asked Chunxiao and Chunxiang, "What do you think?"

"It's good, second lady. It's so beautiful today." Chunxiao replied, but in her mind, no matter how beautiful she picked up, Qi Xinlan was still in vain. What's the use of a vicious woman, no matter how beautiful she looks. She only thinks that Aunt Su in the general's mansion is the most beautiful, easy-going and has no airs, and has been thinking about her as a little maid. And even if it was just a simple appearance, she still felt that Aunt Su's appearance and figure were better than that of Miss Qi.

"Miss, your dress must be the most beautiful. Whether in Tongcheng or in the capital, Chunxiang has never seen a lady or daughter more beautiful than Miss Er. As for this general's mansion, there are few beauties. If the third master sees your cousin like a fairy, he must have lost six souls and can't pull it out in his eyes. Chunxiang flattered as hard as she could.

Chunxiang's words are obviously more useful here in Qixinlan. Compared with Chunxiang's praise, Chunxiao's words are simply perfunctory. If it were in the past, today's spring dawn will inevitably be beaten. It's just that Qi Xinlan is in a good mood now, and she wants to plan a big event. At this time, she has to attract Chunxiao. She can't cause trouble, so there is not too much investigation.

"Okay, let's go to cousin Chen now." Qi Xinlan smiled. As long as she thought of Leng Haochen, her mood was always sunny.

"Yes, Miss 2. When you meet the third master, Chunxiao and I will naturally follow, but it must be far away and won't upset you. Chunxiang's words came to Qixinlan's heart.

Qi Xinlan nodded with satisfaction and added, "Look closely at the young man in the general's mansion. Don't let them always wander in front of my eyes and be upset when they look at it."

Chunxiang immediately understood and quickly said, "Yes, Miss Er. Chunxiang understands how to do it. At that time, Chunxiang must pester the little man brought by the third master and let the second master get along alone without being disturbed by anyone.

"You are the smartest. This is a reward for you." Qi Xinlan casually gave Chunxiang a gold bar, and Chunxiang smiled so much that her face was deformed.

"Chunxiao, you will also learn more from Chunxiang in the future. She will change her mind quickly when she works. I know you are not stupid, and you will be rewarded in the future. At this time, Qi Xinlan treated each other equally and also rewarded Chunxiao with a gold bar.

"Thank you for the reward. Chun Xiaojin followed the lesson of Miss Er Xiaojin. He learned more and asked more questions, learned from Sister Chunxiang, and served the Second Lady. Chunxiao said a programmatic word of gratitude. She put away the gold bar, but she didn't like it.

A gold bar can't buy Chunxiao's rebellious heart at all. Or, even if it is valuable jewelry, she will not be moved. Because no matter how valuable gold, silver and jewelry are, they are not as good as the respect and sincerity given to her by Su Wanqing, which Qixinlan can't give. Or this kind of almost equal relationship, Chunxiao has enjoyed it for the first time since she was a child, and she cherished this relationship very much.

Qixinlan rewarded two close maids, which also reassured herself. She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said, "I'll have some eyesight later. Let's go!"

"Yes." Chunxiao and Chunxiang replied together.
