Chapter 307: Risk your life to save me, can you?
Qi Yanzhou had little contact with the people from the second house and only went to see the ancestor twice.
But he has met a lot of people and is quite good at judging people.
"The people in the second house are clear-headed. They know that there is no benefit in being hostile to us, so they will not take the initiative to cause trouble."
This idea is the same as Ye Chutang's.
"Now, I have become enemies with Yun Feiluan and Qiu Hua. One of them relies on your second uncle, and the other relies on your grandmother. These two people are very soft-hearted, and I am afraid they will be used."
These two women have certainly never suffered such a big loss since they came to power, and they will never give up.
Qi Yanzhou put his clothes away and closed the closet door.
"No matter who they rely on, they are just vassals. Second Uncle and Grandmother will not go against the eldest branch for them."
Ye Chutang nodded, "That's true, and they can't plot against me, but it's not a good thing to be remembered all the time."
Just like the flies outside the mosquito net, they can't suck blood, but they can make people annoyed.
Qi Yanzhou sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Don't worry, three times the limit, no one will be able to protect them by then."
"I feel relieved when you say that."
People in ancient times attached great importance to filial piety, and Ye Chutang did not want the eldest branch of the Qi family to be labeled as "unfilial".
Even if you want to be "unfilial", there must be a reason!
Let reason and the people stand on the side of the eldest wife.
Qi Yanzhou knew Ye Chutang's concerns and said with a smile: "Atang, you don't have to feel embarrassed about being caught in the middle. Just do whatever you want to do boldly."
If he can't even handle some household chores, how is he supposed to manage so many troops?
Ye Chutang, who was sitting at the head of the bed, lay down.
"You guys are good to me, so I have to return the favor and be good to you as well.
I know that my father felt guilty for not being able to serve my grandmother.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, I don’t want the eldest wife and my grandmother to fall out. ”
Qi Yanzhou took this into consideration and did not do anything too drastic.
Otherwise, Yun Feiluan would not only have injured his knee, and Qiuhua would not only have had a swollen face.
"Ah Tang, in the big room, you are the rule!"
The implication is that as long as Ye Chutang wants to, he can do it.
No good or bad, no right or wrong.
No matter what she did, the eldest wife of the Qi family would stand by her unconditionally.
Ye Chutang closed his eyes happily.
"Qi Yanzhou, I will never divorce you in this life."
It is hard to find such a good in-law family in the world.
Hearing this, Qi Yanzhou's sexy thin lips curled up.
"Atang, from the moment I signed the marriage certificate, I never wanted to be separated from you."
Ye Chutang moved inward and lifted the quilt.
"Qi Yanzhou, I want to hug you. Come and lie down with me for a while."
Although the blessing from the witch clan had made her no longer feel the pain of late pregnancy, she was more comfortable and slept better while holding Qi Yanzhou in her arms.
"I'm going to wash my feet. I'll be right back."
It was freezing cold, and he didn't sweat all the way driving, but he would be cleaner after taking a shower.
Ye Chutang was in a daze and felt someone lying beside him.
She immediately leaned over, rested her head on the man's chest, found a comfortable position, and soon fell asleep.
The pregnant belly pressed tightly against Qi Yanzhou's waist, allowing him to clearly feel the fetal movement.
Recently, the fetal movements of the two children have been very frequent and large.
Feeling the fresh vitality, he caressed it gently, his eyes full of tenderness.
He was full of anticipation at the thought that the baby would be born in a month or two.
Ye Chutang and Qi Yanzhou woke up after sleeping for about half an hour.
It gets dark early in the northwest.
It was not even the hour of You yet, but the sky had already become completely dark.
They both got up and went out.
The tiny snowflakes scattered all over the place, and under the light of the lanterns, there is a unique artistic conception.
Jinzhi took out a cloak and put it on Ye Chutang.
"Miss, although the room is heated by a floor heater, it is still quite cold outside. Wear more clothes and be careful not to catch a cold."
"Aunt Jin, you and Shan'er wait for me in the room. I'll come to you after dinner to discuss the next plan."
"Yes, miss."
Ye Chutang and Qi Yanzhou lived alone in a small courtyard.
The maids are Jinzhi and Shan'er.
The servants were Qing Ping and Qing An, who had previously taken care of Qi Yanzhou in Prince Chen's Mansion.
Each yard has a kitchenette.
Except for family gatherings, you can eat on your own at other times.
Ye Chutang thought this arrangement was good.
"It would be even better if we could have a vegetable garden."
The winter in the northwest is too cold. Apart from the cabbage, radishes and potatoes stored in the cellar, there is no green vegetables to eat.
She wanted to build a greenhouse, burn a fire dragon underground, and grow various vegetables.
Although there are vegetables in the space and they can be taken out under the pretext of "ghost theft", it is not as convenient as growing them by yourself.
And the extra dishes can also be supplied to restaurants.
You have to know that in the northwest in winter, vegetables are much more expensive than beef and mutton.
Qi Yanzhou knew the layout of the house. There were a total of six courtyards on the main side.
Each courtyard retained the name of the Prince Chen's Palace.
The largest main courtyard is Tangzhou Courtyard, where he and Ye Chutang live.
The second is Changleyuan, where the two elders live.
Qingyunyuan belongs to Qi Shuyan.
Aunt Xu and Qi Hean lived in Fuguangyuan.
Qinfangyuan was prepared for Qi Jingyao.
But she did not live there. Instead, she lived in the same yard with her parents to make it easier for her to fulfill her filial duties.
Qi Qingyu is a daughter who married out. If she lives in the Qi Mansion with her husband and children, it will cause gossip.
So Qi Shuyan bought a small house for Chen Shaoping at the end of the alley.
Aunt Gao and Qi Yun'an have separated and moved out, so they are not qualified to live in the Qi Mansion.
It was because the old ancestor saw that the mother and son had nowhere to go, so he took them in as servants.
Now he lives in the side room where servants and maids live.
So, there is still a yard in the northwest corner that is uninhabited.
After listening to this, Ye Chutang felt that this yard was useful.
Although this courtyard is in the worst location in the entire mansion, it has sufficient light.
"If no one lives in this yard, clear it out and turn it into a vegetable garden."
Qi Yanzhou had no objection. "Okay, I'll talk to the housekeeper later and ask him to arrange for someone to rest. But the soil has frozen hard in the winter, so if you want to grow vegetables, you have to wait until spring."
"What I want are winter vegetables. Everyone has them in the spring, so it's boring."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he shared his idea of building a "greenhouse".
Of course, it’s not a real greenhouse, but a glazed house.
Colored glaze is glass. By melting quartz sand at high temperature and removing impurities, we can get clean colored glaze.
As for the container for burning paper, one made of molten iron will do.
Although the melting point of quartz sand is 1700 degrees Celsius and the melting point of iron is 1538 degrees Celsius, the melting point can be lowered by adding quicklime or wood ash to the quartz sand.
After hearing Ye Chutang's thoughts, Qi Yanzhou didn't know what to say.
His wife is so powerful that he feels very stressed.
"Atang, what do you need? Just make a list for me and I will prepare it for you."
"Okay, if we can really make a glazed house, we will be able to make a lot of money in the future!"
Qi Yanzhou really wanted to say that if he used the same craftsmanship as that of a glass cup to build a light-transmitting glass room, the cost would be incalculable.
If I use this money to buy food, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in several lifetimes.
But as long as my wife is happy, it doesn’t matter whether it’s worth it or not.
Ye Chutang certainly knew the value of ancient transparent glass.
She really can't make glass.
But she has a book by an ancient craftsman in her space, and she also has chemical knowledge in her mind that the ancients did not possess.
It is not difficult for her to make highly transparent glass.
As soon as the two finished chatting, they arrived at the front yard.
Most of the Qi family members have arrived and are chatting.
Perhaps it was because Ye Chutang took action against Yun Feiluan and Qiuhua that the people from the second house were very attentive to her.
Ye Chutang responded calmly.
Soon, the meal was ready.
When the food was placed on the table, the old ancestor and Guo Tingting finally arrived.
Qi Wenhua, Yun Feiluan and Qiu Hua did not show up.
Without the troublemakers, the meal went quite well.
But Ye Chutang discovered a problem.
Guo Tingting was particularly attentive to Qi Shuyan, and she enjoyed doing so even if she didn't get a good response from him.
After dinner, the Qi family drank tea and chatted.
Qi Shuyan personally poured a cup of tea for the old ancestor and said, "Grandma, I plan to propose to the Xia family and marry Shu'er next spring."
The matter between Xia Shu and Qi Shuyan was no secret; everyone in the Qi family knew about it.
Needless to say, everyone in the first wife supported their marriage.
The people in the second house looked down on Xia Shu.
He felt that she came from an ordinary family, had been married before, and was often seen in public, so she was not worthy of Qi Shuyan in any way.
If you take a concubine, that’s not a big deal.
But he insisted on getting married!
The wife of the eldest son of the Qi family must not be such a shabby woman!
The old man who had just received the tea put the cup down immediately.
"Yan'er, you are not young anymore. Grandmother is very happy that you are going to get married, but you can't be so hasty in choosing your first wife.
Grandmother knows that you like Xia Shu, and she is a good girl, but you are not a good match for her, so you can only take her as a concubine. ”
This answer was within Qi Shuyan's expectations.
After all, the people from the second house showed their dislike when they first met Xia Shu.
His thin lips curled up, his smile was as refreshing as a spring breeze, but his words were full of murderous intent.
"Grandma, I am not discussing this with you, I am informing you."
"It's up to me to decide who I want to marry. If you are not satisfied, I don't have to be your grandson."
"After all, the first and second houses have been separated for so long, there is no grandparent-grandchild relationship between us."
Xia Shu is his Achilles' heel, whoever touches her will die!
If Xia Shu hadn't risked her life to pick snow lotus on the cliff to save him, the grass on his grave would have been so high!
The old ancestor was angry again when he saw Qi Shuyan's tough attitude.
She looked at Qi Wenyue angrily, "Boss, is this the good son you taught?"
Qi Wenyue stood up, walked behind the old ancestor, and helped her calm down.
"Mom, your children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Just let them do whatever they want to do. If you control them too much, it will easily cause them to become alienated.
We just need to tell them that they need to consider the consequences before doing anything, so that they can't blame us if they regret it in the future. ”
This sounds reasonable, but it is actually just a way to rationalize disobeying elders.
It's fallacy!
The old ancestor was not misled by Qi Wenyue's words.
But at this moment she had calmed down and was thinking about Qi Shuyan's words.
What he said makes a lot of sense.
In the absence of a relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, it is impossible to use seniority to pressure others.
Whether it is Qi Shuyan or Qi Yanzhou, they will definitely stand higher than the people from the second house in the future.
The relationship has become strained, which is not good for the second wife.
Thinking of this, the old ancestor's tone softened.
"Yan'er, grandma knows that Xia Shu is a good girl, but her past is easy to be criticized, which is not good for your development.
If you really want to marry her, grandma has no objection, but grandma suggests that you marry a wife of equal status. ”
Qi Shuyan was not angry at this, and the smile on his face became even bigger.
He looked at Guo Tingting beside the old ancestor and asked bluntly, "Who is the co-wife? Your niece's granddaughter?"
Our ancestors did not understand Qi Shuyan.
I don’t know whether his words were a test, a compromise, or a mockery.
She said tactfully: "If you are interested in Tingting, you can marry her. If you have other options, grandma has no objection."
As soon as these words were spoken, Guo Tingting became anxious.
She immediately recommended herself, "Cousin, I was raised by my great aunt, and I am proficient in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Before, in Bincheng, among the women, I was second to none, and no one dared to claim to be first."
This is true. Among the rough Northeastern women, she is indeed a quiet, elegant and talented woman.
Qi Shuyan smiled so hard that his teeth were visible.
"I am better than you at what you are proud of. Your talent is nothing in my eyes."
"Do you know why I must have Xia Shu? She risked her life to save me, can you?"
Guo Tingting said unconvincedly: "Saving people is the duty of a doctor, and saving you is what she should do. Cousin, if you are in danger, I will definitely save you."
She dared to say this because she felt that Tianshan County had been controlled by the Qi family and Qi Shuyan could not be in danger.
Qi Shuyan certainly knew Guo Tingting's little thoughts.
He looked at Qi Yanzhou, "A Zhou, do me a favor."
"Brother, you say."
"Kill me."
Qi Yanzhou nodded, "Okay."
Qi Shuyan waved towards Guo Tingting, "Come here, come to me. As long as you don't dodge Azhou's sword, I will consider marrying you as my second wife."
Guo Tingting knew that Qi Shuyan was testing her and agreed immediately.
"good!"
She came in front of Qi Shuyan, her heart pounding wildly and a shy blush on her face.
Qi Yanzhou looked at the self-righteous Guo Tingting and asked the ancestor.
"Grandmother, I will only strike with one sword, but it will hit Miss Guo right in the heart, sending her to the gates of hell. Whether she can come back alive depends on her luck. Do you agree?"
These words frightened Guo Tingting so much that her face turned pale.
"Second cousin, what do you mean by this?"
"It literally means that Miss Xia went to the gates of hell and won my brother's heart.
If you also want to win his heart, then die for him. It's a fair deal. ”
Guo Tingting's lips trembled. "In a critical moment, I can risk my life for my cousin, but it is totally unnecessary to take this sword for nothing."
"In that case, wait until you die for him once before offering yourself to him."
The four words "recommended myself for the bed" were like a loud slap in Guo Tingting's face, making her feel extremely embarrassed.
He turned around, twisted his waist, and ran away sobbing.
The old ancestor felt sorry for Guo Tingting the most and looked at Qi Yanzhou with displeasure.
"Zhou'er, you're going too far!"
"She dared to do it, why is she afraid of what others say? It is true that like mother, like daughter, she is both responsible and capable."
"Zhou'er!"
Qi Yanzhou smiled and said, "Grandma, I heard from my eldest brother that you are the kindest and most reasonable person. Today, I am very disappointed to see you. It turns out that you are only kind to the second wife."
