Qi Rui Extra Episode (4)

The sun came out in the morning, and it was warm on the body.

Qi Rui took a large box of dolls to the sales school. As soon as I entered the gate, I saw a carriage parked behind the gate. Qi Rui didn't expect that there was someone earlier than him: "Who came so early?" Those who came to see these children in the nursery were basically married women. Men and unmarried, very few.

The woman in charge said respectfully: "It's the eldest daughter of the Mu family. She will come to the nursery to visit the children on the 15th day of every lunar month." At other times, Mu Yingying would also come.

Qi Rui nodded and didn't comment, but he felt that this girl was caring.

Seeing that Qi Rui didn't feel disgusted, the woman in charge couldn't help but say more: "This girl is beautiful and kind, but her life is not very good."

Qi Rui never cared about such trivial matters, but felt that Mu Yingying was a kind-hearted girl, so she couldn't help asking a few more questions: "How do you say that?"

The woman in charge said: "Ms. Mu made an engagement with the young master of the Yang family a few years ago. Unexpectedly, the young master of the Yang family died of illness at the beginning of last year. Miss Mu let go and said that she would serve the young master of the Yang family for three years. .”

Qi Rui was puzzled and said: "After observing filial piety, can we still discuss marriage?" It can only be said that luck is bad, not fate. Influenced by Yuxi, the Zaozao siblings didn't believe the words of Kefuke's wife.

The woman in charge sighed and said, "I haven't even been in the house. It stands to reason that Miss Mu is willing to serve the young master of the Yang family for three years. .”

Qi Rui smiled, and said: "Don't say you haven't married yet, even if you are married, you can return to the clan and remarry after your husband dies." This court encourages widows to remarry, let alone unmarried girls. The behavior of Mrs. Yang's family has no basis at all. As long as the Mu family disagrees, her unreasonable request will not succeed.

The woman in charge said: "That's what I said, but the old man of the Yang family has a kindness to Mr. Mu. Now the Yang family is talking about this kindness, and Mr. Mu is also in a dilemma."

Although Qirui sympathizes with Mu Yingying's experience, it is someone else's housework after all. There is a saying that it is difficult for an upright official to break up housework. As an outsider, he can't take care of other people's housework.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Qi Rui heard a melodious piano sound. After a while, there was another wonderful singing accompanied.

Oddly enough, Qi Rui walked inside. Walking to the yard, I saw a young girl playing the piano and singing to the children.

He had seen this girl in Fuyun Tower before, and she was the one who gave up two sauced elbows.

After playing a song,

Mu Yingying held a two-year-old child beside her in her arms, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her two long runny noses.

The little girl snuggled into her arms, smiled and said, "Sister Mu is so kind."

Mu Yingying tapped the little girl's nose and said, "Take your medicine well. If you still have a cold when you come next time, my sister will ignore you."

The little girl said crisply: "Sister, I will drink that bitter medicine well."

Mu Yingying only found Qi Rui standing in the middle of the yard only after being reminded by the maid beside her. At that moment, she stood up in a panic, prostrated herself on the ground and said, "I don't know that the prince is here, please forgive me for being rude."

Qi Rui smiled and said, "You're welcome, you've done a good job." It was the first time he saw such a kind and patient woman.

Mu Yingying said very modestly: "I'm just doing my best, it's nothing."

Qi Rui shook his head and said: "My mother often told us that the power of one person is small. But if everyone works together, the power will be infinite." In fact, Yuxi said that as long as everyone is united, nothing is impossible thing. Speaking of it, Qi Rui's understanding is not wrong.

Mu Yingying had a look of admiration in her eyes: "The Empress Dowager is the person I admire the most, but it's a pity that I'm not lucky enough to meet you."

Qi Rui smiled and said: "My mother rarely sees outsiders these years, your wish is destined not to come true."

Mu Yingying felt that Qi Rui was a very honest person. But such a person is reliable.

Seeing that the two were talking enthusiastically, Geng Jixian interrupted their conversation after hesitation, and reminded Qi Rui: "My lord, we should go."

Qi Rui nodded, then nodded towards Mu Yingying, then turned and left.

The little girl shook Mu Yingying's hand and said, "Sister, I still want to hear you sing. Sister, can you sing for me again?"

Mu Yingying squatted down with a smile all over her face, and said softly, "Of course."

When he reached the gate, Qi Rui heard the melodious sound of the piano again. Qi Rui didn't think too much, just said to A Luo: "I didn't expect this girl from the Mu family to worship my mother." Even he admired what his mother did.

A Luo said with a smile: "It is thanks to the Queen Mother that today's girls have the opportunity to study in the school. They are naturally grateful to the Queen Mother." His daughter is still young, but when she is old, she will definitely be sent to the girls' school .

Because it was just a chance encounter, not to mention Qi Rui didn't care, even A Luo and Geng Jixian didn't care.

As a result, on the fifteenth day, Qirui saw Mu Yingying again when he was sending things to the sales school. This time, there was a faint red mark on Mu Yingying's face.

Qi Rui's eyes were very sharp, seeing the red mark, he asked, "Miss Mu, what's the matter with your injury?"

Mu Yingying's expression was a little gloomy, and she turned to smile and said, "I was accidentally scratched by my two-year-old brother. Please ask the doctor to look at it and say that there is no problem. As long as you apply the medicine, the injury will heal soon." Mu Yingying did There is a younger brother who is just a younger brother, not a younger brother of the same mother.

Even if a child scratches a face, it cannot be that long. But if Mu Yingying didn't say anything, it was inconvenient for him to ask again.

But I didn't want Ji Lan to say with red eyes: "Girl, it's obviously Miss Yang who scratched your face, why do you keep hiding it for her..."

Mu Yingying's face changed slightly, and she scolded, "Ji Lan, shut up..."

Ji Lan knelt on the ground and cried, "Girl, girl, I love you so much. Girl, you are so wronged."

Hearing this, Qi Rui asked, "Why did Miss Yang do anything to you?" The eldest lady of the Yang family wanted Mu Yingying to watch over the widows, and this girl from the Yang family did something to Mu Yingying, this Yang family is too domineering .

Qi Rui also knows something about the Yang family. Uncle Yang is just a scholar, and he only guarded his ancestral business without becoming an official. But his father, Mr. Yang, is the governor of Anhui.

Mu Yingying saluted and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. In fact, there was some misunderstanding. It's nothing serious. I will explain it clearly to her when I see you next time."

Ji Lan burst into tears with distress: "Girl, why do you take care of everything by yourself, and don't say anything about being wronged."

Qi Rui also felt that Mu Yingying was too kind-hearted: "You shouldn't always be patient. Tolerating the bad guys actually fuels their arrogance and makes them more unscrupulous."

Mu Yingying smiled wryly and said: "So what if you can't bear it? The old master of the Yang family has shown kindness to my father. If I quarrel with them, it will be my father who will make trouble in the end. If the two families fall out, my father will become ungrateful." people."

For my father, I have to endure this kind of injustice and suffer such grievances. In Qirui's heart, Mu Yingying couldn't help being kind and a filial girl.

After leaving the sales home, Qi Rui said to A Luo: "Go and find out what's going on between the Yang family and the Mu family?"

A Luo reminded: "My lord, if you want to help Miss Mu, you'd better let the princess come forward. Otherwise, if this matter is known, they will think you are interested in Miss Mu's family. It's a good thing, and it has become a romantic affair. "

Qi Rui is a very persuasive person, as long as there is reason, he will listen: "You are right. If I want to intervene, it will become a bad thing with good intentions." But thinking about Gao Haiqiong now, he can't get out of it behind closed doors. Even if you tell her now, it won't help you. After thinking about it, I felt that it would not be too late to tell her later.

In the evening of this day, Gao Haiqiong knew that Qirui had seen Mu Yingying in the Salesian Home twice in a row.

Gao Haiqiong still believed in Qi Rui, and said: "You are so busy with errands, next month I will let Caichun go to the nursery to visit the children!"

Qi Rui nodded and said, "Bring more toys and pastries over there." There are so many children, but so few toys, it's not enough.

Seeing Qirui's expression, Gao Haiqiong knew that he really didn't care about Mu Yingying, so she said happily, "Okay."

When talking about the sales home, Qi Rui couldn't help but think of Mu Yingying: "By the way, I met the eldest daughter of the Mu family in the sales home. It's not easy for that girl. If you can help, you can help her." Let's help the family!"

Qi Rui has always been careless, but he actually knew about Mu Yingying. Alarm bells rang in Gao Haiqiong's heart, and he asked, "How do you know that it's not easy for the eldest daughter of the Mu family?"

"The lady in charge of the sales home said it. This Yang family is too much. When their son dies, they want the girl to watch over the family. If they don't agree, they will fight. It's too unreasonable." Qi Rui is not a caring person. Nosy people, but the behavior of the Yang family is really embarrassing.

Gao Haiqiong was relieved, she thought it was Mu Yingying who told Qi Rui: "I'll ask someone to find out what's going on. If these things are true, I will definitely help her." As long as Mu Yingying didn't want to seduce Qi Rui is a clean girl, she will definitely help.

Qi Rui hummed and put the matter aside.

The next day, Gao Haiqiong sent his confidant Li Chuan to inquire about Mu Yingying's details.

Li Chuan quickly told Gao Haiqiong what he had found out: "Princess, this Mu Yingying only came to Shengjing when she was twelve years old, and she has been in her hometown before. Because of her good looks, there have been a lot of people coming to propose marriage since she arrived in Shengjing. "

Gao Haiqiong was not interested in this, and asked, "How is this person's character and reputation outside?"

"There are mixed reputations. Those who praise her say she is beautiful and beautiful, and she is a rare good girl. Those who don't like her say that she is scheming and ruthless."

Gao Haiqiong is not a person who listens to wind and rain: "Why do you say she is scheming and ruthless?"

Li Chuan said: "I haven't found out about this yet."

"Be sure to find out." She wanted to beware of those women who seduce their husbands, but she couldn't just wrong people. Once you get it wrong, it may ruin a girl's life.

Li Chuan nodded.
