There were tears in the hall for a moment, but they were quickly persuaded and the banquet was opened happily.
Qixing was left alone next to Mrs. Zhai.
There was an endless stream of people around her.
Lu Yizhi, who was standing by the door, was in a daze. Did he really recognize the wrong person?
He knew that Ah Qi was good at embroidery, and that she made many of the clothes for his mother, aunt, and sisters, but he didn't say anything else other than saying it was good, let alone praise Ah Qi.
He always thought it was just a common craft.
Is it really a common craft?
It can make Du Cha Si Huo Lian leave with a smile, make Mrs. Zhai hold her hands and cry, and make all the women in the hall ask questions.
"Her craftsmanship is really good." A female voice came in my ear, "I asked her just now, and she said she started enlightenment when she was three years old."
Lu Yizhi looked over and saw Miss Xiahou walking over at some point.
There was a bit of a smile in Miss Xiahou's eyes: "The craftsmen are just like us studying, learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They also work hard for ten years in a cold window."
She didn't hear Lu Yizhi say anything at this point. She looked at him and saw that his expression was different, so she asked softly: "What's wrong? But what happened outside?"
Maybe the female family members reported good news instead of bad news? Maybe Lu Yizhi was keenly aware of something?
Lu Yizhi hurriedly shook his head: "No, I was distracted and still thinking about what happened just now."
Miss Xiahou smiled: "Don't think about it. If you think too much, you will easily get trapped."
Lu Yizhi deliberately raised his hand and saluted, calling him "Senior Sister" to obey his teachings. Such teasing was also fun, but - his eyes subconsciously looked into the hall, where Qixing was surrounded by several young ladies and blocked his figure.
He nodded in response and said no more.
"Are you here with us? Or are you going to the men's side?" Miss Xiahou asked.
Lu Yizhi said: "You stay with Master, while I go outside to hear more news."
Miss Xiahou said hello, and the two of them bowed to each other and turned around.
Lu Yizhi walked to the outer courtyard, took a deep breath, looked for the Lu family's servants, and asked him to call his own servants.
Not long after, two servants came over in a hurry, looking a little uneasy.
"Master? Are you leaving?"
"Isn't it serious that the Inspector General came to inspect the Zhai family?"
"Then let's go quickly -"
The two whispered.
Lu Yizhi looked at them, as if scrutinizing them, but also as if he was suddenly enlightened: "So it turns out that this is why you don't let me go to the streets these days."
The two servants were stunned for a moment, what?
Lu Yizhi looked at them and said, "Ah Qi is here."
The expressions of the two servants suddenly changed.
"Where?" "Where?"
They looked around, looking wary, to catch Lu Yizhi.
“Sir, you go first—”
Lu Yiyi shook them off and shouted in a deep voice: "Tell me, what's going on!"
To explain what is going on, it is not enough to simply say that the eldest master told Ah Qi to come to Beijing to prevent her from disturbing the young master.
We also need to talk about why Ah Qi came to Beijing.
Ah Qi ran away from home in anger and became an embroiderer.
Then he was hired by Mrs. Yang and sent to the capital.
"This is all because of the support of Linglongfang." A servant said.
Another servant nodded: "Yes, the master said, don't be afraid of her. Even if she does something like this, the Yang family will not support her."
Speaking of this, the two of them thought of something again and asked Lu Yizhi.
"Sir, where is that maid?"
Lu Yizhi said oh, stretched out his hand and pointed back: "I am meeting Mrs. Zhai."
The expressions of the two servants suddenly changed: "Sir, why did you come out?" "Sir, why didn't you catch her?"
Although it is said that the Yang family and the Zhai family will not support an embroiderer, there are now a large number of female guests at Old Madam Zhai's place, especially Mrs. Xiahou. If the maid talks nonsense, the young master's reputation will be ruined!
Lu Yizhi not only did not go, but sat down on a rock nearby.
"Don't worry." He said, "Ah Qi, you're not that stupid."
If the girl had called out his name when he saw her just now, he would have responded immediately.
But the girl passed him by without looking sideways, like a stranger, so he felt relieved.
He had never cared before whether Ah Qi was smart or not, but now he saw that she was a smart girl and knew that if she wanted to reconcile with him, she must not cry in public.
"Don't look so worried." He scolded the two servants, "Let the Zhai family and others misunderstand that we are afraid of disaster in Duchasi."
The reputation of the young masters was not good either. The two servants quickly straightened their expressions, but——
"There's no need to worry." Lu Yizhi knew what they were going to say and adjusted his robes, "Since she came to me, she will naturally come to me."
But until the Zhai family's banquet broke up, Lu Yizhi never saw Qixing again.
Lu Yizhi escorted Miss Xiahou and Mrs. Xiahou's carriage and horses slowly left the Zhai family. The lights on the street were getting brighter and brighter, and there were more and more people. When he was about to walk out of the street, he couldn't help but look back again. The door of the Zhai family was at
Dim and dim in the night light and shadow.
Maybe she also knew that the Zhai family was not the place to talk, so she avoided it.
Now that she has seen him and let him know that she is coming, let's wait for her to come to his door.
"You guys." Lu Yizhi leaned forward slightly.
The servant leading the horse beside him was busy listening to the instructions.
"If she comes here." Lu Yizhi said softly, "Don't make a fuss. Let her see me and I will comfort her."
The servants looked hesitant and whispered: "Master, please don't get entangled with her."
Lu Yi smiled: "Since she came for me, I am the only one who can comfort her."
Our ancestors have long said that a woman's lingering hair cannot be taken off.
In the bright room, his sleeves are rolled up, revealing his white arms, which are covered with jewelry.
There are gold bracelets and jade bracelets, two on each wrist.
Qing Pheasant held it carefully and let out a sound of admiration.
"Miss, the ladies of the Zhai family are so generous. They insist on covering both wrists," she said.
Qixing smiled and took off the bracelet: "What I mean when I say I can't wear it on one wrist is that I can't wear so many for daily work. I don't want them to wear it on the other wrist as well."
Thinking of the scene at that time, Qing Zhi laughed again.
"The young lady is right to accept it," she said. "Mrs. Zhai is really frightened. They just want to express their gratitude to the young lady. The young lady accepting it is also a comfort to them."
When the maids rushed into the backyard to look for Qixing, the master and servant were also surprised and didn't know what happened.
The maids talked about it, and then Qing Pheasant finally understood that it was the lady's gift that saved the Zhai family from danger.
Qixing shook his head and said, "I shouldn't thank you. It's my fault for frightening them."
Qing Pheasant seemed to understand, and said: "However, everyone says that what happened this time is also a blessing to the Zhai family. In the future, the reputation will be great. Miss has brought blessings, and it is not a sin."
Qixing nodded: "That's true." After saying that, he smiled and motioned to Qing Zhi, "Put the bracelet away and follow me to find someone."
