Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 501 Negotiations

   Qi's mother and daughter held their breath for a while.

After a long while, Xu Huixian opened her eyes, carefully reached out to touch it, looked back at her mother with uncertainty, and asked, "Mother, is this for me?! Is it really for me? !"

   As the granddaughter of Elder Ge, even after Qingliu, she is still a dignitary. It is not that Xu Huixian has not seen good things, let alone jewelry.

   But the complete head and face of this set of emeralds in front of her still made her jump for joy, even forgetting her anger these days.

Qi's complexion was very complicated. Looking at the hood, his eyes showed pain and struggle, and soon he laughed again, nodding to his daughter gently and lovingly: "This is what your aunt brought it, and it was indicated to be given to you, naturally it is you. Yes. I'll keep it for you, and when you leave the cabinet, I'll give you a dowry."

   Speaking of this topic, Xu Huixian's face turned red all of a sudden.

These days, the family is not all idle. She has already chosen a family for her. She is the second son of the Feng family's big house in Quanzhou, Mindi. After marrying, you don't have to carry the family business in the palm of your hand, and there is no pressure to inherit the family. Master Feng is still Xu Shun's student, and he is still the governor of Guizhou.

If it were changed to the past, neither Xu Chong nor the Qi family would agree to this marriage. They are too far away. A daughter married far away, even if your family is a dignitary. From the beginning, the days that can be seen are numbered.

   But now because of the conflict with Su Yao, Su Yao said with his poisonous mouth that these people in the capital should not think about it, they would bow their heads and not look up, and no one expected to be pointed at by others.

   This marriage was done just like that.

  Mr. Qi thought of this, looked at her daughter, and felt more and more panicked in her heart. After a long time, she calmed down and said gently: "Forget it, you go to prepare, and come to see your auntie later."

   Xu Huixian should be happy because she has not been so happy for a long time.

   Waiting for her to go out, Qi shi looked at the head cover for a long time, then took a deep breath, closed the box, and instructed the girl lightly: "Put it away and keep it safe."

Holding her chin, she felt a sharp pain coming from her heart, which spread to the palm of her right hand. .

   I don't know how my aunt and father-in-law were talking.

   She was a little absent-minded.

In Xu Shun's study, Qi Yunxi was calm and relaxed, and he even commented on Xu Shun's new tea: "This shows how simple you are in the emperor's heart. Among the ministers, among the ministers, you must be here except for the emperor's heart. Yang Shoufu is the first one."

  Xu Shun squinted his eyes and said nothing.

Of course, the old fox's happiness and anger cannot be put on his face, but it is not difficult to see whether he is happy like this, Qi Yunxi doesn't care: "Oh, don't be angry with my in-laws, look at it, it depends on your attitude towards the holy will. Thinking about it and pampering it, is there anything else to worry about?"

  Xu Shun finally looked up at her, put the tea cup back on the table, and said solemnly: "You are too hasty, aren't you afraid of being found out and finding out the big Buddha you are hiding behind?"

   Qi Yunxi's eyes were cold: "Let's wait until they can find out!"

   Her aura was completely different from before, with her eyes narrowed, she didn't look like a general's wife, but like a royal nobleman.

   Even Xu Shun's good self-cultivation skills couldn't help but change his face, and then he said, "Mountains on the mountain will eventually meet tigers, don't think you can always cover the sky with one hand like this!"

   He was really annoyed, he patted the table and sneered: "How long do you think you can hide?!"

Qi Yunxi tutted, seeing Xu Shun getting angry, but she didn't feel angry, panicked or scared at all, just smiled lightly and said, "Why are you angry? King Fenyang knows too much. It's a shame, if he doesn't die, am I the only one who suffers? Isn't it the same for your old man? I'm doing this for our sake."

   Her indifferent attitude was annoying. Xu Shun couldn't have a good voice in front of her. After a moment of silence, he leaned back in the chair and asked tiredly, "What the **** are you going to make a fuss about?"

Without waiting for her to answer, Xu Shun continued on his own words: "The crown prince is dead, and the second prince and the third prince have been abolished by your provocation for infighting. Now that something has happened to King Zhuang, what do you think? If we go down, sooner or later we will all bring our own annihilation."

Qi Yunxi clicked his tongue, and his face suddenly sank: "How come? You hold the power, how many major events in the world can be decided by you? With you here, how could something go wrong? Look at the matter of King Fenyang this time. , isn't it handled properly?"

"As for how far we have to go." Qi Yunxi flicked his sleeves: "What did the emperor do to my parents and clan, do you want me to explain to you? Don't say anything else, Elder Xu Ge, Why do you hate the prince to the bone, have you forgotten it?" Of course not, how could you forget it?

  Xu Shun knew that he couldn't understand this with Qi Yunxi, so he simply asked: "Then what else do you want to do?!"

"We are all in the same boat now, why are we fighting each other like this?" Qi Yunxi also knew that he would accept it as soon as he saw it: "That wild bastard, you just watched him entrenched in that high position, waiting for him to be established? I heard that the emperor has The meaning of making him the grandson. Really wait until that day, Mr. Xu, your situation will not be any better than mine. At that time, it may not be as lucky as me, my family is all dead, only There is a niece left, but you are different, you are such a big family, the Xu family is flourishing, if you are involved in such a crime, I am afraid you will be punished by the nine clans?"

  The atmosphere in the room cooled down completely, Xu Shun didn't say a word, it was as if a layer of ice had formed, making it hard to breathe.

  Qi Yunxi no longer pretended, and calmly looked into Xu Shun's eyes: "Elder Xu, there is only one way to go, I hope we can all save some trouble, don't you think?"

Xu Shun didn't say a word, but Qi Yunxi didn't take it seriously. He stood up and opened the door by himself. He stood under the porch and looked at the red plums for a while. He saw Mrs. Qi came over with an umbrella and was waiting under the plum blossom tree not far away. on.

  The weather was cold, so she closed her cloak, strolled down the steps, walked to the Qi's side, and said, "Go to your place and see Xian'er."

   Mr. Qi nodded, hurriedly took the small stove and handed it to her, and looked back at the Xu family study, which was hidden among the flowers and trees, a little worried.
