Chapter 15: Horse Racing

At the gate of Baiyuan, the two brothers ushered in Lu Yu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Yu's face was silent, but he was a little strange in his heart, didn't the eldest prince Xie already receive an errand from the household department, how could he be at home at this time? How did he know that because of a note from "Xie Gui", Xie Chen had already taken leave from his boss.

"Major General Lu, please!" Xie Chen smiled and invited, "I have heard of the name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really lived up to expectations." ”

"Mr. Xie complimented. Lu Yu clenched his fists.

Xie Xun laughed: "I said you two, do you need to see the outside like that?"

"Come, come, come, I'll introduce you, in fact, you already know each other, this is my eldest brother, the third of the four sons in the capital," Xie Xun patted Lu Yu on the shoulder, "Don't look at my eldest brother's literati appearance, in his bones he is still our Xie family, very happy." ”

Lu Yu's indifferent face seemed to slow down a little, and before you noticed the change, he returned to his original state, and just called softly: "The eldest prince is polite!"

"Big brother," Xie Xun hurriedly introduced Lu Yu again, "Lu Yu is a new legend of our Zhenbei Army, look, in only two years, he has already been called a double hero with General Ma." ”

Xie Xun raised his thumb and praised as he walked: "General Ma has been in the army for fifteen years, and has participated in dozens of battles, large and small, a veritable brave general, Brother Lu can be as famous as him, it's really amazing." ”

Xie Chen smiled gently: "It's really not easy, our family's General Xie rarely praised the young general." ”

The three of them walked in together, and there was already a small servant in the room waiting to make tea again.

Although Lu Yu is not good at words, after all, he is young and has an active Xie Xun, and Xie Chen is elegant in speech and good at observing people's hearts. The three of them soon became very harmonious, whether it was the big and small anecdotes of the inside and out, or the horseback riding and batting that the sons of the capital liked to play, they were all very speculative.

Ping An walked in.

"Eldest prince, Tianyi Pavilion sent a table of food. ”

"Oh," Xie Chen turned his head, "Is there that the general?"

Ping An nodded and replied: "Yes, it was originally prepared for the general, and now I have an extra one for you." ”

This little cousin is really wonderful, and I can't help but make a big good impression of Xiaohe in my heart.

"Bring it quickly, I happen to be hungry too. Xie Xun was happy, "Big brother, it turns out that you went to Tianyi Pavilion with your father." I heard that the dishes of Tianyi Pavilion are now distinctive. ”

A few small servants rushed in, and after a while, there were wine and food on the table.

In the middle is a shiny roast duck, I don't know what it was used for, but it was still steaming. The roasted golden duck exudes a mouth-watering aroma. Next to it are a few of the most common side dishes, cold salad with shredded cucumbers, boiled edamame, sweet and sour radish, and stir-fried bamboo shoots. And a jug of wine. The three of them had a great appetite and sat down around the table, and the chopsticks greeted the duck first.

"Hmm, it's delicious!" Xie Xun praised, a few pieces of duck meat in the stomach, took a sip of wine, and then ate a few bites of side dishes, it was really an endless aftertaste.

Lu Yu, who said little, also praised: "It's really delicious, it's really cleverly matched, the fragrant meat and refreshing side dishes are not greasy at all." ”

Xie Chen smiled proudly, this little cousin is too powerful. Look at the tip of this bamboo shoot, it should have been picked in the spring, and I don't know how to do it, but it can maintain the original taste.

"Big brother, quickly and honestly, why did Tianyi Pavilion bring you food?" Xie Xun pulled Xie Chen for an answer.

The little cousin is definitely going to enter the mansion, it doesn't matter if he reveals something in advance, and although Lu Yu is a little "evil", he is an upright person, and he will not easily understand the strengths and weaknesses of people.

At this time, Ping'an came in again and said: "Eldest prince, there are two signs here, which were left by the people of Tianyi Pavilion just now, and they are for the two sons." ”

The gilded wooden plaque is engraved with the word "expensive" and has a number mark underneath.

Xie Chen's intimate praise for Xiaohe, this is a limited discount card of Tianyi Pavilion.

"Didn't you ask me which cousin I was just now?" Xie Chen smiled at Xie Xun, smiling meaningfully.

"Which one?"

"This is the place, Tianyi Pavilion. ”

"What, cousin of Tianyi Pavilion?

"I also just found out that it is my aunt's adopted daughter. ”

"Auntie's adopted daughter!? Auntie is back. Xie Xun got up from his chair, "Really, great, the old grandmother has been thinking about it day and night, and she has finally looked forward to it!"

Lu Yu looked at the two brothers and smiled, what a happy family, the only regret is that Miss Xie has also returned.

Xie Chen lowered his voice when he heard this, and his words seemed to be a little sad, and he whispered softly: "No, there is no aunt, just her adopted daughter." ”

Xie Xun was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it, Lu Yu was still there, so he didn't want to ask more. So he automatically changed the subject, "Oh, that's it, by the way, what's going on with my aunt's adopted daughter, you've seen it!"

Speaking of Xiaohe, Xie Chen came to the spirit again.

"My aunt's adopted daughter is not simple, do you know, the big proprietor of Tianyi Pavilion is her, and so is Chengqi Bookstore. ”

"Yes, how old is my little cousin, so powerful!Is my aunt's family in business?" Xie Xun was suspicious.

"That's not my aunt's business, it's Cousin Xiaohe's own, she's probably fourteen or fifteen years old!" Xie Chen replied.

Lu Yu, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth and asked: "Chengqi Bookstore is really Miss Xiaohe's business, that bookstore was originally in Qingshan Town, Lin'an Prefecture, and my younger brother went there two years ago, specifically to read a few good words. ”

The brothers of the Xie family looked at each other, and they all had a question in their hearts, two years ago, wasn't that little cousin only twelve or thirteen years old, and this bookstore was really opened by herself? Xie Chen shook his head, he didn't want to, anyway, he would meet in a few days, and he would ask again when the time came.

Turning the topic away, after chatting a few more words, Lu Yu said goodbye. Before leaving, Xie Chen asked him to go to the Royal Racecourse tomorrow to race horses, saying that he would rest tomorrow and that Prince An would make the east, and several of them would go.

Lu Yu had long wanted to meet the influential figures in the capital in the past two years, and today he and Xie Chen had a speculative conversation, so he happily agreed.

The next day, just after the hour, the Royal Horse Farm was lively.

The majestic and high-spirited Zhao Huaqi came the earliest, without saying a word, he slipped around first, and his mood was so comfortable, and the depression that was ordered by Lao Tzu to be at home a few days ago was gone. Riding on the horse, our eldest prince Zhao pondered vigorously, when will we find an opportunity to go to the north to go to the north to go for a yo-yo, but I am afraid that after Lao Tzu's pass, the queen will not be able to approve it. With a roll of his eyes, he didn't care, wait for the next time General Xie goes on the expedition, this son will secretly follow!

Looking up, I'm happy! Today, the sun came out in the west, and Boss Qi, who had to appear at the last minute on time in the past, was actually the second to come.

Zimmeryun was also a little puzzled, he got up in the morning and practiced as usual for an hour, wanting to read a book for a while and take his time, but somehow, the surprised face of the little girl he saw last time in the horse farm suddenly appeared in his mind, and then he remembered the white shadow that I didn't know if it was a wolf or a dog. So, before I knew it, I went out.
