Chanyi nodded and walked slowly upstairs with him.

Xiao Qing suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, I forgot to buy hot sauce, you asked them to wait for me, I bought hot sauce and came back." ”

Chanyi glanced at Xiao Qing, who was running fast, and couldn't help laughing: "Sister Qing's straightforward temperament is really good." ”

Xia Mingyi didn't care and said: "How can she have a good temperament of her sister, her sister is too kind, anyone dares to bully her sister, doesn't she also see her sister's soft temperament, so she dares to pester her sister like this, if she gives it to other young ladies, she will be reprimanded a long time ago and she can't raise her head." ”

Chanyi glanced at him, saw that he was serious, shook his head and said: "Sister Qing is young and lost, and General Xiao has never renewed the string, so it is inevitable that her temperament will be raised a little, but Sister Qing is a warm intestine when she treats people and things, which is the most rare." ”

Xia Mingyi heard the meaning of maintenance in Chanyi's words, and thought that she had treated him so gently in the past, afraid that she would be unhappy, so he hurriedly said: "Since my sister likes her, then I will treat her better in the future." ”

It would be best if this could be done, and Chanyi didn't want them to quarrel in the future over such a trivial matter as who would ride the carriage with her today.

When they arrived at the private room, they saw Xiao Pei and Xia Mingchen looking at Wang Jue and smiling, and even Xia Mingche next to him had a smile on his face.

Chanyi sat down and asked, "What is my brother talking about?" And said so happy. ”

Xia Mingchen smiled happily: "Just the competition, Wang Jue watched in the shed of the Ningguo Mansion, saying that Gu Kui got up to go to the toilet, but when he came out, he stepped on the air, and then the whole person fell into the pit, stained with yellow and white things, even the little guy in the Ningguo Mansion thought he stinked, he wanted to go back to the house, Gu Yi only let him ride back, afraid that he would smell the carriage, Gu Kui's whole face was swollen like a pig's head, and it looked like a flower child." ”

Chanyi thought about that scene for a while, couldn't help but cover her mouth, and said angrily: "Big brother, it's not disgusting for you to say this during the meal!" ”

Xiao Pei said, "You don't understand this," he picked up a piece of crystal elbow from the cold dish on the table and put it into his mouth, "Hearing the dejected appearance of his enemy's family, this is a happy event, but he can make several bowls of rice." ”

Chan Yi was noncommittal, and asked them what they ordered, Xiao Pei reported the names of the dishes as a few treasures, Chan Yi found that most of them were spicy dishes, and couldn't help frowning: "Big brother is still injured, how can I eat spicy things, let's change it to some light ones, so as not to be strict with the wound." ”

As he spoke, he ordered a few vegetarian fried fresh mushrooms, fungus yams, vegetarian brocade Wufu soup and other health dishes.

Wang Jue saw that she was two years younger than her own sister-in-law, but she was so careful, and her heart moved slightly.

Xiao Qing bought the hot sauce and came back, sat next to Chanyi, opened the hot sauce and said in the bowl, and said: "I just bought the hot sauce and saw that Song Yunfeng and his sister Song Lanzhi were in the mutton soup shop opposite the drum tower. ”

Xiao Pei became interested and asked, "What did you train him for?" Is it because he is not good at martial arts and makes them lose face? ”

Xiao Qing glanced at him innocently: "Do you think that everyone is the same as you, and you must win a fight to be considered face-saving?" Song Lanzhi is not so shallow. ”

Xiao Pei was choked by her words, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it a shame to win the fight?" Could it be that you still lose face? ”

Xiao Qing ignored him and said directly: "Song Lanzhi is asking his brother why he didn't apologize to Wanzhao and Brother Yi when he took the sword, no matter how he said it, it was their family's weapon that hurt people, and he also said that Song Yunfeng was too soft and glutinous and needed to be tougher." ”

At this time, the little maid knocked lightly on the door of the private room, and brought up a copper pot, which was still burning with charcoal, and when he opened the lid, he saw that the clear soup in the pot had boiled, red wolfberry, white onion, and a few big dried longan and ginger slices floating, which looked hot.

The maids and maids who came with him wanted to come forward to serve, Xiao Qing waved his hand and said: "The pot is still fragrant when you eat it hot, you don't have to wait!" ”

Chanyi also nodded, and instructed Jinping: "You go outside and order a pot to eat, you can eat whatever you want, and then come in and serve when we are ready." ”

The maids were told to retreat.

Xia Mingchen put a thin slice of mutton with chopsticks and put it in the pot to scald, and said: "This Miss Song is quite reasonable, but it's a pity that Song Yunfeng's guy can't help him, otherwise he wouldn't be bullied so badly in the Yanjiao camp." ”

Xia Mingyi used boiling water to shake the small plate in front of Chanyi with the soup bowl and chopsticks, put it in front of her, and helped her clip a scalded mutton with chopsticks and put it on her small plate.

Chan Yi smiled at him sideways, looked at Xiao Qing and said, "Then what?" What else did Miss Song say? ”

Xiao Qing shrugged his shoulders, and put his chopsticks into the pot to pick up the scalded mutton, "Then I'll come back, I'm still hungry, where can I care about listening to them, so I just listened to them by the way." ”

Chanyi knew this Song Lanzhi, the previous Song Lanzhi was Xia Mingyi's side wife, who has always been in charge of the affairs of the house, and is said to be deeply loved by Xia Mingyi.

She couldn't help but look up at Xia Mingyi, who was seriously scalding vegetables, and didn't know if they would come together in this life.

Xiao Qing had a piece of red oil in the bowl, sweating from the tip of his nose when he ate, and said while eating: "But tomorrow's martial arts test is a bit interesting, and the rest are some opponents who are not easy to dismiss, Brother Chen, if you face my second brother, you have to be merciful!" ”

Xiao Pei sighed on the side: "Girls are extroverted, girls are extroverted, you tell me that you haven't married yet, so you don't bend your elbows in, and you will be angry with others to destroy your prestige!" ”

Xiao Pei and Xia Mingchen often practiced, sometimes Xiao Qing watched from the sidelines, naturally knowing that his brother's martial arts were actually no match for Xia Mingchen, so he rolled his eyes helplessly, "Then you have to fight for some anger tomorrow and come back with the first name!" ”

And Xia Mingchen didn't care too much about this, he said: "Originally, I came to participate because I fell in love with the weapons of the Tibetan Arsenal Pavilion, but now that I have changed the color head, it doesn't matter whether I fight for the first place or not." ”

Something like that happened again today, I'm afraid that even if I enter Yan Yunwei, I will be bullied.

Wang Jue nodded and agreed in a low voice: "The commander of Yan Yunwei is Chen Jichang, he is the protégé of Anbei Hou Weijie, if Xia Gongzi enters Yan Yunwei, I am afraid that he will be assigned to this person, and he has always acted as a personal vendetta......

He didn't say anything more, but everyone understood what he meant.

Xia Mingchen smiled: "I'm not afraid that others are afraid of him, a villain like Chen Jichang, if I go to Yan Yunwei, I will definitely be the first to kick him out." ”

Xia Mingche disagreed: "Big brother, don't take it lightly like this, the so-called two fists are hard to beat with four hands, he uses the power in his hands to give you small shoes to wear, you can't cry when you cry." ”

Xia Mingchen thought about it and made sense, he took a scalded mushroom with chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth, "In this case, I will simply say that I am injured tomorrow and it is inconvenient to participate, so I will simply give up." ”

Chanyi ate the mutton that Xia Mingyi gave her and nodded: "This is also an idea." ”

Xia Mingyi frowned, and while sandwiching the mutton slices to scald, he said softly: "If they want to trouble us, I'm afraid that it's useless for the eldest brother to hide like this." ”

Xia Mingchen thought about it, it was indeed the same, but there was no better way to do it now.

Everyone was silent for a long time, and Xiao Qing asked, "Wang Jue, when are you going to leave for the northwest?" ”

Wang Jue swallowed what he was eating.

"In five days, the handover of the affairs at hand will be completed, and I will get up in about the sixth day."

Xiao Qing wrapped a mouthful of mutton in his mouth, and his speech was a little slurred: "Then aren't you going to spend the New Year in the northwest?" ”

Wang Jue thought about it, and it seemed that it was.

"This Jue is helpless, but the holy order is difficult to disobey, so it has to be like this."

Xiao Qing asked in a low voice: "I don't know if you have any clues, but I heard that the Tartars have been entrenched in the northwest for a long time, and they have been recruiting troops and horses, so you have to be careful if you go to the northwest." ”

Wang Jue knew that she was reminding herself, nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I have investigated, the Tartars are now in the midst of civil strife, and there will be no big moves in the short term." ”

But Xiao Pei was not so optimistic, there was a strong worry in his eyes, and he gulped down a bowl of soup that had just been served, "I think this matter is not so simple, do you know how long the emperor has been thinking about the horse market?" Thirteen years! Now this situation is not the right time, place and people, it is better for you to pay more attention. ”

Xia Mingchen also said: "Listening to General Xiao, the Tartars are very cunning, if they really come to commit it, I'm afraid it will be a tricky matter." ”

Xiao Qing thought of what Xia Chanyi said in the carriage, and said in a deep voice: "If the Tartars come to attack, those bastards of the Wei family will find you to open the knife and let you be the striker, you must find a reason to push, they have always been vicious." ”

Wang Jue knew the severity, but the problem now was that the arrow was already on the string and had to be sent, so he had to sigh helplessly, stretch out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and eat silently.

But Xia Mingche opened his mouth and said: "Actually, this matter is also easy to do." ”

Xiao Qing came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "What good way do you have it?" ”

Xia Mingche took a bite of the lotus root slices and smiled softly, "If the people of the Wei family want to make Dingguohou the striker, Dingguohou has every reason to refuse." ”

"Why?" Several of them asked in unison.

Xia Mingche took a sip of soup and said unhurriedly: "Dingguo Hou received the emperor's order, what Dingguo Hou is worried about is that no one pays attention to it after he goes, and the people below are yang and yin, in fact, this matter is very simple, the Wei family is a wolf entrenched in the northwest, so the Tartars are coming, Dingguo Hou only needs a piece of paper to write to the emperor, saying some of the current situation, such as the number of Tartars, what equipment configuration, and what is the current situation of the northwest horse market, if the horse market is prosperous, then the emperor will inevitably send people over, if the horse market is sluggish, And the Tartars are here again, what will the emperor think? ”
