The girl who wears fast

Chapter 143 The Husband Is Reborn (27)

"Xiao Qi, who are you talking to?" Liu Shichu saw Qi Zhixi talking with his eldest brother in the corner of the alley again, but this time she did not leave quietly like last time, but did not leave. He stepped forward hesitantly, pretending to ask curiously.

"Master?" Qi Zhixi was taken aback by Liu Shichu's sudden appearance. Hearing her question, he felt guilty for a moment, and then he pretended to be calm and replied: "This is a relative from my hometown. Just meet and talk."

"Oh? So they are relatives?" Liu Shichu blinked and looked at Qi Tao, "It's just that I seem to remember that you said that there were no relatives in the family, so you had to sell calligraphy and paintings for a living after your father died." .”

Qi Zhixi suddenly showed a confused look, and said: "Really? I also said these words? I don't remember. But this is indeed my relative. He knows that I work here and came to see me."

Liu Shichu said with a smile that was not a smile: "There are relatives far away from you, and they seem to have a good relationship? It's just that when I met you and an old servant on the road, I fainted on the ground. Why didn't you look for me at that time?" Can this relative help?"

Qi Zhixi choked, rolled his eyeballs quickly, and then replied: "At that time, my elder brother happened to be an official with his family in other places, so I couldn't find him, so I got tired and fainted." He finished speaking Quietly breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and thanked himself for cleverly finding an excuse.

When Brother Qi heard Liu Shichu say that his younger brother had fainted on the ground, he was already anxious and annoyed, and wanted to teach this restless younger brother a good lesson, but now that Liu Shichu was still there, he could only endure it. He stopped, but still couldn't help but stare at Qi Zhixi with cold eyes.

"So it's like this..." Liu Shichu saw that he was nervous and seemed to slow down his breathing a few beats, so he kindly let him go and said, "Since it is your relative who came to look for you, then you can take your relative to our tavern Sit down, what are you doing to meet here secretly? I am not a black-hearted and harsh boss, so I will still give you the time to meet."

"No, no need, we'll finish talking soon." Qi Zhixi said quickly, he didn't want his elder brother and Liu Shichu to appear in the same place, otherwise he would have to worry about his identity being exposed all the time.

"Well then, it's up to you." Liu Shichu said, nodded to Big Brother Qi, and went back to the tavern.

"Tell me, what happened when you fainted on the road?" Brother Qi grabbed his younger brother's face and asked coldly.

Qi Zhixi hurriedly pulled his hand away, looked back quietly, saw Liu Shichu entered the gate of the tavern, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I was pretending at that time, I didn't faint at all."

"Why pretend you're not dizzy? What do you want to do?" Brother Qi was so angry that his head would explode from the anger of this younger brother who would never guess what he wanted to do.

"Brother, don't look at me like that, I'm not doing bad things." Qi Zhixi saw Qi Tao waiting for him again, and quickly explained,

"I just heard that my boss has opened a very strange tavern. I am curious and want to know more about it. Why don't I just pretend to be dizzy on the road that my boss will definitely pass by, so that my boss can 'save' me? With this life-saving grace , I can stay in the tavern to work, and most people tend to have more trust in the people they have saved, so I came up with this method."

Brother Qi didn't know what to say to him after hearing his words. After a long time, he asked: "I see that your boss doesn't look like a person with no name and no surname. Which family's wife is she?"

Since my younger brother is working under someone else's hands, Brother Qi has to work hard to get to know his younger brother's boss.

Qi Zhixi frowned after hearing his question, and said displeasedly: "She is not the wife of any family. She and her husband divorced two or three years ago. Her ex-husband was stationed in Liangzhou Cui Anhua, General of Zhengxi, whose elder brother is Liu Jian, Minister of the Household Department."

"Reconciled? Why did you reconcile?" Hearing what he said, Big Brother Qi frowned and asked in doubt. It stands to reason that Cui Anhua has been stationed outside all year round, and his wife must be separated from her husband all year round, staying in Beijing to guard the big family. This ex-general's wife can't stand loneliness?

Brother Qi thought of Liu Shichu's flamboyant and bright appearance just now, and couldn't help but wonder. For such a charming and beautiful woman, she should hope that her husband can always be by her side, instead of being a widow who can't see her husband all year round. right?
Who knows that Qi Zhixi curled his lips in disdain, and gave him an unexpected answer: "It's not that General Cui likes the new and dislikes the old, and reunited with Qingmei, so he abandoned his wife who has supported his family for 20 years. It's really heartless." Unrighteousness, his wife who bore children for him and guarded the family for many years can easily give up..."

Brother Qi was very surprised immediately, and blurted out: "What kind of beauty does that General Cui's green plum grow into, that General Cui would be willing to abandon his young and beautiful original partner?"

After he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful, and felt that he should not comment on a woman's appearance casually, which would appear to be disrespectful to others, but he couldn't swallow the words out of his mouth, so he had to cough lightly to cover it up.

Qi Zhixi didn't see his elder brother's embarrassment, and still defended Liu Shichu:
"I heard people say that the new general's wife is not as good-looking as our boss, but our boss has a strong personality, not the kind of weak woman who only cries and clings to men, and General Cui only likes weak characters. , Everything has to be decided by him, and the character of the boss who never shows weakness to others is naturally unwelcome.

And big brother, you have to admit that men are most likely to be attracted by Xiaoyi's gentle, weak and pitiful women. The most beloved woman regards him as heaven and only obeys him everywhere. Our boss is not such a woman. She is the most assertive. Can do better than ordinary men.

I think that General Cui lost the watermelon and picked sesame seeds. He mistook the fish eyes for pearls, but turned a blind eye to the real pearls. The situation at home was stabilized, and the new general’s wife heard that she would only cry and cry, and did nothing else. In the end, the boss’s son helped her clean up the mess..."

Qi Zhixi talked about a lot of things about Liu Shichu incessantly, and praised Liu Shichu undisguisedly, but Brother Qi saw his ecstatic expression when he talked about Liu Shichu, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes widened, and he had a bad premonition: Is my younger brother attracted to this Heli wife?

"Brother, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this? Is there something dirty on my face?" Qi Zhixi finally stopped, seeing Brother Qi looking at him with a strange expression, he couldn't help touching his face , asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing." Brother Qi quickly restrained his expression and suppressed the absurd guess in his heart.
