Chapter 58 Banquet
After returning from Jiang's house, Qi Yukun went back to the academy after taking a rest for a day.

Before leaving, he told Qi Tanying that Yan Li already knew that she had a marriage contract with Jiang Liangyu, and if he was dissatisfied with this, he didn't have to swallow his anger.

He assured her that even if Yan Li wanted to divorce, he would do his best to find her a better husband than his.

Qi Tanying was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "What nonsense, he will not withdraw. But you, you must take good care of yourself, and don't neglect your body for your studies."

"Sister, don't worry about me."

While the siblings were saying this, Mrs. Qi led someone to load the things prepared for her son into the car, and after everything was settled, she went straight to the two of them.

"Brother Kun, remember to add clothes when it's cold, don't freeze."

Qi Yukun nodded, "Mother, don't worry, I will never let myself freeze."

Madam Qi looked at her son's face, which was more and more similar to her late husband's, and was both relieved and sad. If her husband was still alive, she would be very proud to see this pair of outstanding sons and daughters.

She looked up at the sky, "It's time to start, if you delay, you won't be able to catch up with the academy's lunch."

Qi Yukun immediately bid farewell to his mother and sister.

After Qi Yukun left, Mrs. Qi couldn't help sighing. Her son stayed in the academy for a long time, and her daughter was going to get married soon, so she was the only one left in the family.

Thinking like this, the feeling of loneliness wrapped around her heart like a silk thread, making her a little out of breath.

Qi Tanying found that her mother's expression was not right, so she hurriedly asked, "Mother, are you not feeling well?"

Madam Qi shook her head, she only said that she didn't sleep well last night and wanted to go back to her room to rest for a while.After Qi Tanying sent her mother back, she began to deal with housework.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is only [-] days away, the New Year gift to Wuzhou has to be prepared.She made a gift list and ordered the housekeeper to purchase according to the gift list.

After reading the list of gifts, the butler said, "Girl, this old slave thinks that the New Year's gift for the eldest house is a bit light."

Qi Tanying glanced at him: "You don't need to say too much, you just buy according to my gift list." What's wrong?She felt that the New Year's gifts given in previous years were too heavy, which made Qi Juemin think that he shouldn't have.

She is going to take the opportunity of the New Year's gift to tell Qi Juemin that their room is not something that people can manipulate at will.

After ordering the purchase of the New Year gift, Qi Tanying went back to her room.She promised to make a pair of boots for Yan Li earlier, but now there is still work to be done.

This is the first time she has made boots. In order to make Yan Li comfortable and warm, she has spent a lot of thought: she used good rabbit fur to sew the boots, and pasted a layer of oil paper in the middle of the boots. The outside is covered with leather, even if it rains, it is not afraid of getting cold in wet water.

After the boots were finished, Qi Tanying ordered someone to send them to Yan's house.

After receiving this pair of boots full of fiancée's heart, Yan Li's unhappiness that his fiancée had a marriage contract with Jiang Liangyu immediately dissipated.

It was because he was too narrow-minded, if A Tan and Jiang Liangyu hadn't canceled their engagement, how could it be his turn to marry her.Anyway, Jiang Liangyu has already married Princess Qingyang, and she is about to marry into the Yan family, so why should he bother with others.

After the depression in his heart dissipated, Yan Li couldn't help feeling guilty, and spent some thought when preparing to return the gift.When Qi Tanying saw the dazzling array of items, she was surprised, pleasantly surprised, and even more excited to be valued.

In winter, the flowers wither and the winter plum blossoms.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Changxing Palace held a plum appreciation banquet.Madam Qi and Qi Tanying received the post.

Mrs. Qi didn't want to go at first, but she didn't want to touch Princess Changxing's face, so she reluctantly went to the banquet with her daughter.

The Changxing Palace holds a plum appreciation banquet every year, and the invited guests are either aristocrats from aristocratic families or family members of officials in the court.In other words, if you want to participate in the Plum Appreciation Banquet in the Changxing Palace, your status should not be too low.

Although Mrs. Qi was ordered by the sixth-rank Anren, but this status was not enough in front of a bunch of noble women from aristocratic families, and the mother and daughter were naturally treated coldly.

Since coming to the capital, Qi Tanying has become accustomed to being ignored at their respective banquets, but Mrs. Qi is different, she is a person who cannot bear to be wronged.

Seeing that no one paid any attention to them, she couldn't help complaining to her daughter: "If I knew it would be like this, I wouldn't come here. It's true to be neglected like this."

Before the words were finished, Madam Qi immediately shut up when she saw a luxuriously dressed woman walking towards them.

The woman Shi Shiran walked up to Madam Qi, and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, are you Madam Qi and Miss Qi from Anpingfang?"

Madam Qi showed doubts, "Exactly."

The woman reported her family name and said that she was the Second Mrs. Gu from Zhongyonghou's Mansion. She had just returned to the capital from the northern border, and it was the first time she had participated in the Changxing Palace's Plum Appreciation Banquet.

While talking, another person was mentioned, "I wonder if Mrs. Qi still remembers An Ru?"

Madam Qi heard it very familiarly, and after repeating it a few times, her eyes lit up, "Are you talking about Mother Ru who married into Bei's family in Mingzhou?"

Second Mrs. Gu smiled and nodded.

Madam Qi's expression became agitated, "Is she also here to enjoy the plum feast?" After finishing speaking, she felt that something was wrong, if Ruo Niang really came to the plum feast, why didn't she come to find her in person.

The smile on Mrs. Gu's face faded, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, "Mother Ru passed away three years ago."

Madam Qi showed an expression of disbelief, "Mother Ru passed away?"

Second Mrs. Gu said: "Before she died, Mother Ru asked me to bring you a few letters. I originally planned to visit Qi's house after the plum feast, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Madam Qi looked at her sadly, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by "Auntie".

The visitor was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with bright eyes and white teeth, sweet and lovely.Second Mrs. Gu introduced to Mrs. Qi Qi Tanying: "This is the little girl Pingping."

After speaking, he introduced Qi Tanying and his daughter to Gu Pingping, "This is the Qi family's aunt and sister Qi."

Gu Pingping's gaze fell on Qi Tanying's face, he widened his eyes and let out a "huh" before greeting Mrs. Qi's mother and daughter.

After seeing the ceremony, she said to Mrs. Gu, "Mother, Auntie asked you to go."

The Second Mrs. Gu smiled apologetically at Mrs. Qi, "Mrs. Qi, I will tell you about Ru Niang when I come to visit in the future."

There is no reason why Madam Qi should not do so.

After the Second Mrs. Gu left, Qi Tanying asked curiously: "Mother, who is the person that the Second Mrs. Gu said?"

Mrs. Qi took a deep look at her daughter, and sighed: "She is a close friend of mother's boudoir. We haven't contacted her for many years. I didn't expect her to pass away."

Hearing the news of her friend's death at the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet, Mrs. Qi became more and more depressed. After the banquet was over, she immediately took her daughter back to Qi's house.

Two days later, the Second Mrs. Gu came to the door as promised and brought her daughter Gu Pingping.

Mrs. Qi asked Qi Tanying to entertain Gu Pingping, while she and Mrs. Gu talked about An Runiang behind closed doors.

Gu Pingping is a lively and lovely girl, and she is a little familiar. Qi Tanying likes her temperament very much.It's just that from time to time, he would say something confusing, and when Qi Tanying asked carefully, he changed the subject with a smile.

 After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to change the title of this book. The current title was chosen when the article was first written. It took me a long time to think about the name of this book before I came up with such a name.

  The old title of the book "I Married an Old Man After Breaking Away"

  The new title of the book "After the fiance was cut off by the county owner"

  I hope you will continue to support me, your support is the driving force for me to write!thank you all!Love you guys!
