It was also the day when he passed on the military command of the Qi family army and completely handed over power.

In the court these days, the newly-minted King Xiang is in the limelight. Although he is a little green, he is not a rookie and can handle everything. He is so good just after showing up? The ministers were all amazed.

The Crown Prince still did not attend court, and the King of Wu and the King of An were each doing their own thing, so on the surface everything seemed calm.

Marquis Qi felt vaguely uneasy, but he did not have time to think too much about it. He had been managing the family property recently. Now that he had the title, he had to think about the estate.

No one knows what Qi Youduan is busy with outside and he is never at home, so old man Qi is doing it himself here, and Qi Xiao and Wen Yu are sent over there.

Yes, Qi Xiao came back, but he only stayed by his deceased wife’s spirit for three days before he was pulled in by Wen Yu to divide the property.

The Marquis and Qi Xiao saw how Wen Yu was very picky about everything, no matter whether it was reasonable or not. The Marquis had a headache, while Qi Xiao made rapid progress.

When the Marquis was about to collapse, the matter was finally done. He showed the things to Qi Youduan, who frowned for a long time, but in the end, he didn't know what he thought of, and smiled and agreed.

After completing the formalities, Qi Hou fell ill for two days and was very listless. To this day, he was still unhappy.

Qi Youduan originally wanted to follow Qi Hou's plan and have a low-key meal at home. After the meal, the old man handed over the military token and put it in his pocket.

But Tan refused! This was the highlight of her life. From then on, she no longer had to worry, pretend, or think about everything. She no longer had to smile at the people she hated. She could do whatever she wanted! When the cage was opened and the tiger was released, it was a bit uncontrollable. She was not happy, so she argued with Qi Youduan.

Qi Youduan was overwhelmed by his mother's tenacity. After two rounds of talks without success, he let her go. He thought, this is not a bad idea, to let the other side know: the situation is over! What to do? Tan thought of various ways, but he couldn't figure it out, so he called Qi Yue and asked him what was popular in Beijing recently. Qi Yue knew everything! He told her: There are three most popular ones recently. The first one is Pan Ruqing, a male dan from the Jixiang Opera Troupe. He has a clear voice and a beautiful appearance. His eyes are charming and his figure is charming. The flick of his sleeves and the glance back... with a hint of charm and anger, it makes people's hearts beat wildly. He has been to see it several times and he never gets tired of it.

The second one was a dancer, her body was incredibly soft. She was hanging on a rope in the middle of the field, barefoot, with bare arms and fluttering clothes, like an immortal. Her movements were bold but not vulgar, which made people linger on.

Qi Yue said with a strange expression on his face: How much fun it would be if such a fairy could be obtained! He did try to get her, using an alias, paying a large sum of money, and using various methods to bring her to his newly purchased courtyard, but he didn't know if the other party had a backer, and it didn't work out! "Grandmother, the third one is the newest, a zither player. He calls himself: Luan Tan Gongzi. So interesting! Haha... He lives in the famous Lan Garden in the capital. It is said that he is covered with a white veil, graceful and mysterious! He plays the zither to perfection! After a song, everyone is immersed in it and can't extricate themselves."

Tan snorted, "I guess he just played it randomly, and others spread it randomly!"

Qi Yue continued, "Don't disbelieve me! My grandson's good friend's grandmother once played the zither in the capital when she was young. She played it in front of the late Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother cried when she heard it. My good friend's father had a favor with this zither player. A few days ago, this mysterious person went to his home. His demeanor stunned the whole family. But he only played a song in front of my good friend's grandmother and father, and even he couldn't get close. He could only hear some faintly. He said that he couldn't recover for a long time. How magical!"

Tan didn't care. She had a mean look on her face and a bad voice: "It's just to fool those who think they are right! Humph... Do you think my grandmother is really ignorant?"

She couldn't help but recall that she was stunned by Mrs. Bai's piano. Before that, she had never known that there was such a beautiful sound in the world.

Later, after learning about the piano, I realized that Mrs. Bai had superb skills. Her hands were as fast as lightning. She could play all kinds of difficult tunes, and her notation was also first-rate. As long as she heard it once, she could play it. She could also compose her own music.

Whenever Mr. Bai mentioned her, I would get so excited. At that time, I secretly made up my mind to practice hard and surpass Mrs. Bai... But, alas! It was impossible!

I feel jealous and hateful, but there is nothing I can do.

One day, she saw Mr. Bai playing the piano... and then she understood what it meant to be simple... He didn't show off his skills at all, but every stroke of his music seemed to pluck at the tip of your heart.

I want you to cry in sorrow, I want you to laugh in revelry. I want you to listen quietly, even your breathing seems to be disturbed...

Mr. Bai...

Tan showed compassion on her face…she liked him so much.

If he knew what he had achieved today, would he regret it? If he hadn't treated her like that, she wouldn't have believed Li Qun and made such a fool of herself...

That is truly a regret that cannot be made up for even today.

"grandmother?"

"Oh..." Tan came back to her senses, "Grandmother is saying that this Luantan Master is just playing tricks to fool people like you!"

Qi Yue laughed: "But my grandson also heard that the cousin of that bitch Wen Yu, whose surname is Song, runs an inn. He wanted to invite guests the day before yesterday, and it seemed that the person was an important person. He wanted to invite this Luantan gentleman to come and help, but he ignored him. Then, the man surnamed Song lowered the conditions and said that he could visit Lanyuan, but he was also rejected.

He got anxious, and relying on his wealth, he kept throwing silver at the man, and finally said: As long as he takes the guests to listen to a song, he will give him 100,000 silver! Haha, the man surnamed Song is crazy! But that person refused, ha, they are all crazy. Qi Wu is the same, he even went to Lanyuan to ask, in the end, no one let him in! "

"Are you serious?" Tan became interested. "He's just a street performer, why are you so arrogant?"

"Although Lanyuan is not big, it is extremely beautiful. Anyone who can live there must be very wealthy. I wonder if there is a sponsor behind it!" Qi Yue said jokingly, with a malicious look on his face. "Anyone who wants to go and listen to the music has to send a note in advance. If he agrees, he will reply to the note, and then the person who agreed will go at the agreed time."

"But it still requires money?!" Tan curled her lips.

"He doesn't want money! But, tell him what you want to say. It won't be in vain if you go!"

"Tsk..." Tan thought for a while and asked again: "Then can you invite your friend to our house?"

"This...isn't possible?"

"Grandma, you want to spend one hundred thousand?" Qi Yue was surprised.

"Grandma is not crazy! If things really don't work out, we still have your father to support us! There is always a way to make that random guy know what coercion and inducement are!"

"This..." Qi Yue thought about it...

Tan turned back to the house, took out a few silver notes and gave them to Qi Yue: "You must try it. Grandma is not crazy, but she is not stingy either!"

When Qi Yue saw the amount, he thought it was a good thing for him, so he left happily.

Tan was also happy. Now, she would not feel guilty for not having much private property. After waiting for several days with great expectations, Qi Yue hurried back and sat on the chair, "My grandson must be exhausted!"

He had a smile on his face.

Finally, it was March 15th.

The weather was already very warm, and the banquet was set up in the courtyard, with one table for each person, facing the stage in front. Tan arrived very early, accompanied by Liu, and checked the details.

Qi Youyi was followed by Aunt Xiuyun. She was different from usual today, with pearls and jade on her head and a shiny dress. She showed no trace of age and was extremely beautiful. Looking at her and smelling her fragrance, Qi Youyi's heart was pounding, just like before.

Qi Hou arrived accompanied by Qi Youduan. Tan looked at them with a bright face, and it was unclear whether she was looking at Qi Hou or her son.

Here, Madam Qi arrived with the help of Wen Yu, followed by Qi Xiao and Qi Yang. Wen Yu had a calm face, and only Qi Wu could see a hint of excitement in her eyes.

Everyone came from two directions and looked at each other.

Tan hadn't seen Cui and Wen Yu these days. She kept smiling, as if she didn't see them, and said to Marquis Qi, "My lord, today, I have invited two of the three most popular actors in the capital. One is the male dan Pan Ruqing. As for the other one, I won't mention his name, otherwise, you will laugh at me for inviting such people and saying it is not solemn enough." She smiled like a flower.

"Originally there was a dancer, but time was tight and she had to set up a high platform for her best dance, so she didn't have time. The opera troupe, with its well-known name, snatched it away.

"It's just that this pianist is so hard to invite! I heard that a few days ago, there was a nouveau riche named Song who spent 100,000 silver dollars to listen to a piece of music from him, but he didn't even give him face! He is really a man of integrity! Such a person was actually invited by our Yue'er! How amazing do you think Yue'er is?"

Although Qi Hou was born into a noble family, he was not a frivolous person. Upon hearing this, he hurriedly asked, "Xiao San, how much did you spend?"

"Grandfather, you are my grandson's friend, and the cost is negligible!"

Tan glanced at Wen Yu and said, "My Lord, do you think you can get things done with just money? If it weren't for Yue'er's good friends, if it weren't for hearing that we were inviting him, he wouldn't have come no matter how much money he was given!"

Qi Xiao stayed by his mother's side silently, looking at this strange grandmother. As soon as he got home, Tan called him over. Of course, he discovered that his grandmother was no longer as kind, peaceful, and humorous as before. Even her eyes were devoid of concern and sadness. She had become a cold and arrogant lady.

In just a few words, she explained the cause of Xu Minghui's death. Then, she said proudly, "If you are willing to believe grandma, this is the answer for you. If you don't believe it, you can also ask your mother!"

He returned to his own courtyard, and the woman was no longer there... Thinking of Xu Minghui's voice, appearance and smile, he felt heartbroken.

Mother took good care of Baoer, and spoke to him in a sad and calm manner. Wen Yu told the story of what happened. The fourth brother and his wife looked guilty and bowed deeply to apologize for Aunt Liu.

As for the Xu family, they probably had someone waiting for him at the door. As soon as he entered the door, Xu Mingshan arrived right after him. He kept pestering her with only one purpose: to get money.

Experience teaches us to be smart! What else does he not understand now? A few days ago, his grandfather was in charge of dividing the family business. His father was in hiding. Xiaowu didn't know what he was busy with. His mother handed the matter over to him and Wenyu. He finally saw Wenyu's reasonable and forceful, meticulous style. To be honest, he learned a lot!

He matured in an instant and his temperament became calmer.

Marquis Qi took his seat, and everyone else sat down too.

The maids began to serve the food and wine in an orderly manner.

Qi Hou raised his glass, but he felt tired and didn't know what to say. "Everyone is safe and sound, and everyone should live their own lives well!"

Tan smiled and raised her glass to Mr. Qi and Qi Youduan. She didn't even look at Cui's party. She drank it! On the stands, the drums beat and the play began. The male dan was really amazing. Even Mrs. Qi, who was full of worries, was fascinated by it. The atmosphere was good and everyone relaxed. After a few short plays were performed, there was constant applause. The male dan accepted the praise and left.

A gauze curtain was hung on the stage, with only a candle lit inside. One could vaguely see the shadow of a piano and a pair of hands, but one could not clearly see the person playing the piano.

Tan laughed secretly: What a mystifying person!

She drank another glass! Liu is not bad, this wine is delicious today!

There was only a clang sound, and the whole place fell silent...

Just one chapter, one chapter! Tomorrow, tomorrow the old witch will die, completely dead and will never come back to life.
