45. Pro-son
After listening to the transmission, Qing Tong was stunned. Sitting in a chair, it took me a long time to get up. I was a little at a loss, and asked for a while: "Which Xu family and which criminal?" β
The little guy raised his head: "I didn't explain, I just said that it was an old acquaintance of the master." β
What the little guy said was the same as what he thought in his heart, and Qingtong was even more at a loss. Gong Qiu saw the clue on the side, but for some reason, he came up and asked, "What's wrong with the master?" Aren't you invited in? β
Qingtong glanced at Gong Qiu, and then said, "You guys eat first, I'll go ahead and take a look." β
Waiting for Gong Qiu to answer, Qing Tong went to the front yard alone. When I arrived at the second gate, I saw that Xu Jing and Xingyuan were waiting. Seeing the two of them, Qing Tong only made a friendly gesture, went up and saluted: "There is a loss of welcome, I don't know what happened to the two of you coming to the door?" β
"I heard that you have a wine and banquet at home, let's join in the fun." Xingyuan said.
Qing Tong glanced at him, then looked at Xu Jing, and whispered, "This is not appropriate, right?" β
"What's wrong with that?" Xu Jing asked back.
Qingtong was a little embarrassed, lowered her head and bit her lip a few times before saying, "Why is it so public?" β
Xing Yuan smiled happily next to him, and said, "But what is the publicity for a drink?" If you were really afraid of publicity, you wouldn't spend the night in the imperial study. β
Qingtong glared at Xing Yuan, and said a few more words, saying that he was not enough, so he had to bring the two of them in.
Thinking that no one at home knows the emperor, his heart is quite steady. Qingtong asked Butler Yu to add another table, added two chairs, served wine and food, and let Xu Jing and Xing Yuan sit alone, and then sat down by himself.
With a long breath, she didn't care about Xu Jing and Xingyuan, and only said to Gong Qiu and Qing Yan: "Let's eat ours." β
Qing Yan looked at the two people on the table, and then at Qing Tong, so he had to pick up chopsticks to eat.
It was originally a happy atmosphere for the family, but now there are these two people, and it is always difficult to let go. is the people in the family, because these two officials are the same people, they all speak in a slightly suppressed voice.
Qing Tong didn't care about them, he ate the dishes with peace of mind, and while serving the vegetables to Qing Yan, he said to Gong Qiu: "It's an acquaintance, you don't have to be restrained, and you don't have to save zΓ i." β
After speaking, he turned his head, but found that Gong Qiu was holding chopsticks and hadn't eaten a bite of food. Her face was very cold, and before Qingtong could ask, she suddenly stood up, and went to Xu Jing's table with her body up. When I got to the table, I didn't say anything, and just dragged away the chair and sat down. The behavior was very strange, so that everyone present closed their mouths and just looked over there.
Qingtong couldn't figure it out for a while, but felt that as a man, it was quite undignified for him to go over and ask. After all, it was his own woman Gong Qiu who sat in front of those two men!
Qingtong was about to get up and go over, when he heard Gong Qiu say: "Steward Yu, put away the wine and food, you can find a place to eat and drink by yourself, don't stay in this courtyard." β
When the housekeeper heard this, he hurriedly answered the words, and asked the mother-in-law and maids to collect their own tables. didn't dare to squeak more, so they all withdrew from the courtyard, leaving only the master's family.
Qing Yan sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, so he removed his ass from the chair, grabbed a chicken leg and planned to withdraw. But when he saw the man in blue clothes at the table walking towards him, he bent down and hugged him and asked, "Your name is Qingyan?" β
"Hmm." Qing Yan obediently responded, and looked at the chicken leg in his hand.
"Where do you live? Take me to your room. β
Qing Yan stretched out his head to look at Qing Yan, Qing Tong looked at Gong Qiu's side for a while, and looked at Qing Yan for a while. On one side is a daughter-in-law, and on the other side is a son, you can't ignore either side.
And Xu Jing hugged his own son at this time, and he didn't want to let go when he died. He was even more mindless about anything else, so he said to Qingtong: "You take me over, you can't take care of the things here." β
Qing Tong didn't quite understand, but he roughly understood that he didn't seem to be in charge of anything here. With Gong Qiu's temperament, he would not ask her to interfere, let alone tell her about things. What's more, she doesn't want anyone to know about her at all, including the turmoil of her inner feelings.
After being embarrassed for a while, Qingtong stopped staying and said to Xu Jing: "What is there to see in the room, go to the study and look at the words he writes." β
"Okay." Xu Jing answered, and the family of three went to the front yard, and Qingtong did not forget to explain before leaving: "If you have something to say, don't do it!" β
As soon as the three of them left, Na Xingyuan put the rabbit meat with chopsticks in his mouth, and said while chewing: "Do you think they look like a family of three?" It's that a man can't give birth to a man, otherwise I would have believed it. β
Gong Qiu's eyes were cold, and he kept staring at Xingyuan. Xing Yuan didn't care very much, he still should eat and drink, while pouring wine for Gong Qiu, and sent it to her and said, "Don't do this, no one and a man will like it." Don't say it's a broken sleeve like Qingtong, it's not, people don't want to sleep with you, look at your resentful woman's face. β
Gong Qiu took the wine glass, and the mouth of the glass poured towards Xingyuan. Xing Yuan dodged very quickly, and only a strand of his hair was splashed. He stopped at the table, Gong Qiu had already copied the chopsticks and inserted them, he picked up the plate is a block, and the peanuts on the plate fell to the ground. Gong Qiu thrust it in again, Xing Yuan reached out and grabbed it, grabbed the chopsticks, and said through the gap: "If you have something to say, you can say it well." β
Outside the courtyard, there were people who caught a handful of peanuts and hid under the flower window to watch the excitement, and when they saw the two fighting, they exclaimed: "Yo! It's time to fight! Sir, this guest is the enemy! β
"Will it kill someone?"
"The master can let it go, but I don't think so."
"Do you think our wife wins, or does that master win?"
"I'll bet on a peanut, and our wife will win!"
β¦β¦
The outside of the courtyard was lively, and the courtyard was also lively, Gong Qiu and Xingyuan fought inextricably, dismantling the dishes on that table. Gong Qiu didn't speak, and there was no expression on his face. It's a long way to go, and while grasping the proportions of the shot, you have to explain.
With Gong Qiu's brain, he and Xu Jing appeared here to sit at the table, and she must have guessed the general reason. If she told her that Qingtong was a broken sleeve, and she resembled a family of three with the emperor, she naturally understood it thoroughly. It turned out that she was not disliked by the palace family this time, and took advantage of the Feng family's suppression of Qingtong, and drove her out of the house and stuffed her to the Qing family. The fact is that Xu Jing and Xingyuan treated her as a chess piece, just to give Qingtong a complete family, and even give her a wife who takes care of the inner courtyard and doesn't want a round house and pampering.
Xing Yuan dodged calmly, occasionally restrained Gong Qiu, and took the opportunity to say: "You stay in the palace family in such a miserable situation, it is better to stay here." No one can force you to do anything, and you have to be a serious master, how about it? β
"Why didn't you consult with me earlier?" Gong Qiu reflexively broke free and kicked back.
Xing Yuan blocked it, grabbed her ankle and said, "Isn't this interesting?" What is going on in this family, you need to get along with others and experience it yourself, so that you can live more sincerely. Tell me in advance, you are even more task-oriented, aren't you tired of living? Showing favor and living a more tender life will only benefit you. β
"I don't need such benefits!" Gong Qiu kicked his foot out, shook off his hand, and stood still: "You and the master have worked hard to disappoint you." β
Seeing that she was no longer fighting, Xing Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps in front of her, stood and said, "Gong Qiu, there is nothing else in life besides truth and hatred. You can't ruin your life because of a past. β
Gong Qiu sneered: "Isn't it ruining your life to become a husband and wife with a broken sleeve?" β
Xing Yuan was choked by her, and he wanted to say anything more, but he only heard Gong Qiu say: "I admit that I have become a relative after worshipping the hall, and I am willing to be used by you." But I hope you will also remember the promise you made to me and find out the truth to me. Otherwise, I'll kill him Qingtong to vent my anger! Without waiting for Xingyuan to speak, he straightened up and went out of the courtyard.
The conversation between Xing Yuan and Gong Qiu was all low, and those who watched the excitement outside the courtyard couldn't hear what was said inside, so they just thought that their wife had a personal vendetta with this master, and they watched the excitement of the fight. Now seeing that the two of them are truce, they hurriedly hugged the melon and fruit plate in their arms, and ran away.
Xing Yuan stood in place, let out a long breath, watched Gong Qiu walk out, dragged a chair and sat down, looking at the few dishes that had not been destroyed, it was a pity, and picked up the chopsticks to eat again.

In the small study of the Qing family, Qing Tong took out some of the words that Qing Yan had written before and showed them to Xu Jing.
Xu Jing has been pulling Qing Yan in his arms, and the intimacy makes Qing Yan very frightened. After all, this uncle, he is the first time to see him. I don't know what the relationship is with my father, and I feel a little bottomless. But after seeing that this uncle really likes him, he praised him from the bottom of his heart, and slowly let go. Children's hearts, you praise me for being good to me, and I will kiss you in two sentences.
Xu Jing saw Qingyan slowly relaxing, and his heart was also happy. Qing Yan was praised so much that he flew into the sky, and he recited a few poems to Xu Jing with great interest, and memorized some thousand-character texts and three-character scriptures. He doesn't know a lot of words, these are all taught orally by Qingtong in the past, and then he writes in red and reads.
Xu Jing praised again after hearing this, took out a red jade lock from his arms, hung it around his neck and said, "This is for Yan'er." β
Qing Yan picked up the red jade lock on his chest and looked up at Qing Tong: "Daddy......"
Qingtong knew what he meant, and only said, "Take it, it's your Uncle Xu's intention." β
Seeing his father say this, Qing Yan was relieved, and said happily in Xu Jing's arms: "Thank you, Uncle Xu." β
"I still like something else, tell Uncle SΓΉ, I'll bring it to you when I come back."
Qing Yan didn't think much about it, and said, "It's nothing special next to it, I like swords and bows." β
"I see." Xu Jing said: "How about waiting for my uncle to take you out and teach you to ride a horse and shoot arrows?" β
Qing Yan was happy when he heard this: "Very good, very good." β
Qing Tong silently rolled her eyes on the side - her father didn't have a sense of zΓ i at all.
Qingtong didn't let Xu Jing get tired of being here for long, so she drove him away. Xingyuan over there also came early and waited outside. Seeing the three of them coming out, they hurriedly greeted them and said, "Are you leaving?" β
"I have two more things to say to him." Qing Tong opened his mouth.
Xing Yuan understood, pulled Qing Yan and said, "Go, send me to the gate." β
"Okay." Qing Yan responded, and went away with the punishment.
Walking on the road, he was curious, so he asked Xingyuan: "Who are you?" β
"Ordinary people, your father's friend." Xing Yuan said, and then saw the red jade that appeared on Qing Yan's neck, stretched out and looked at it, and sighed: "Such a rare thing, I am really willing to do it." β
"It was given to me by Uncle Xu just now." Qing Yan spoke.
"He has a lot of good things, and he doesn't care about these or two. Whatever you want, just ask him, you have it. β
Qing Yan thought for a while: "You shouldn't always ask for other people's things." β
"He's someone else, he's your father's ......"
"What?" Qing Yan looked at Xing Yuan and saw that he was stuck with the master, so he had to ask.
Xing Yuan swallowed the words "good old friend" and hurriedly changed the words: "Good friend." β
"My dad has a lot of good friends, and I can't always ...... the things of good friends," Qing Yan muttered to himself.
Over there, Qing Tong asked Xing Yuan to take Qing Yan away, and entered the small study with Xu Jing. After closing the door, she asked Xu Jing: "Xingyuan and Gong Qiu know each other?" β
Xu Jing didn't intend to hide anything from her, so she simply said: "Gong Qiu is also from Luan Weisi, and I deliberately arranged for her to marry you." β
"Isn't it the ghost of the Feng family?" Qing Tong was shocked.
Xu Jing shook her head, and then said, "Don't worry about this, she will be your wife and take care of the trivial things at home." You give her the status and respect she deserves, it's the best of both worlds. It is also difficult for her to live in the palace family, and it should be much easier here. You take care of her more, she has a knot in her heart, and she doesn't want to be close to people, which is always a problem. If she can relax and not suppress herself so much, it can be regarded as a merit. β
Xu Jing said seriously, and Qingtong also looked at him seriously. After he finished speaking, he said sourly: "I didn't expect it...... So caring about people...... Howling ......"
Hearing this tone, Xu Jing couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth. Dragged Qingtong into his arms, hugged him and said, "Where I care, it's Xingyuan." β
"Xing Yuan likes Gong Qiu?" The blue pupil's eyes flashed with gossip sparks.
"Then I don't know." Xu Jing said, unintentionally on this topic, lowered his head and kissed Qingtong. After kissing her for a while, he let go of her, and deliberately teased her with his breath: "Don't you want me to stay tonight?" β
"Of course not, what do people look like?" Blue Hitomi dodged.
"I'm afraid your wife already knows that we have broken our sleeves." Xu Jing turned her head around, didn't want to let go, and said, "Why don't you just be here?" β
"Of course not, this is a study." Blue Hitomi nudged his arm.
"What's ......?"
It was useless to refuse, Xu Jing pulled her pants under her robe when she kissed her so intoxicated. Due to the problem of time and place, Xu Jing naturally did not love the war, and ended the entanglement with more control of time.
Qingtong's face flushed, put on the messy clothes on his body, kicked Xu Jing, cleaned up the small study, and restored it to its original appearance.
After the two went out, they were still gentlemen.
Xing Yuan and Qing Yan had been waiting at the gate for a long time, and when they saw the two of them coming, Xing Yuan hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Are you still happy?" β
Of course, Qingtong and Xu Jing could hear what he said, so they didn't bother to pay attention to him and went outside the gate together. Sending Xing Yuan and Xu Jing into the carriage, Qing Tong pulled Qing Yan back home.
After getting into the carriage and sitting firmly, Xu Jing asked about Xingyuan Gongqiu's situation.
Xing Yuan explained Gong Qiu's state in detail, and said: "She still wants to know what happened back then, and said that if I can't find out the truth to her, she will kill Qingtong to vent her anger." β
Xu Jing set his eyes on Xing Yuan, and Xing Yuan took a breath and said, "I know her, she won't." β
Xu Jing's eyes did not move, Xing Yuan glanced back at him, and said quietly: "So why do you want to enter the Qing family openly?" Dare to sit ......"
Xu Jing finally looked away and stopped talking. He wanted to see his own son's feelings, but Xing Yuan didn't know, and of course he didn't understand.

was disturbed by Xu Jing and Xing Yuan, and Qingtong didn't eat at all. Pulled Qingyan back, asked the next person to go to the kitchen to get some food, and the two sat down in the small study.
While Qing Tong was eating with Qing Yan, he would also think of the ridiculous thing in this study just now, his face was a little red, and he secretly scolded Xu Jing in his heart.
Qing Yan bit the steamed bun, watched Qing Tong's face change, and puzzled: "Dad, are you hot?" β
Qingtong pretended to be calm: "A little." He wanted to change the topic, so he said: "Brother Jing, you are only close to Aunt Feng, but also to your wife." Isn't she alone in my house? β
Qing Yan took a breath like a little adult and said, "No, my wife doesn't want to be close to anyone, no one can do it." β
Qingtong looked at him: "Is it really so difficult?" β
"Hmm!" Qing Yan nodded vigorously, he didn't need more words to express the difficulty, it was really so difficult.
"That's it, let's eat first."
After eating two bites, Qing Tong asked Qing Yan again: "Why don't you see you and Sister Qing playing together?" β
"Why don't you play?" Qing Yan said: "It's just that Sister Qing always has a relationship with me, and I can't help it." She also said that she was a subordinate, and she didn't call me Brother Jing for a long time, only Second Master. Follow Caiping and Huazhu to learn the rules, saying that they want to learn how to serve me, and often stick to them. β
Caiping and Huazhu are the two maids in Qingyan's room, taking He Biqing together to take care of Qingyan's daily life.
Hearing this, Qingtong just nodded, and asked again after a while: "How much does Yan'er know about his wife and concubine?" β
"In our family, my wife is my father's wife, and Sister Feng is my father's concubine. There can only be one wife, and another concubine can be accepted. Qing Yan said seriously.
"Hmm." Qingtong nodded, and asked again, "How many concubines do you want?" β
"Hehe, it depends on how much money I have to catch up with Ming'er......"
Blue Eyes: "......"
+++
said that after Xu Jing returned to the palace, he still returned to his study. He didn't turn over the cards every night, and mostly watched the folds in this study to deal with state affairs. There are a lot of troubles, and there is really not much time to spare every day.
Not long after returning to the imperial study and sitting down, the palace maid of Zichen Hall came again, still talking about the eldest prince's illness. Feng Zuo passed it in front of Xu Jing and said, "The emperor went over and took a look, and said that it was stricter." β
Xu Jing was also immersed in the relaxed joy of seeing Qingtong and his son, and he was in a good mood at this time, so he was better to talk. Thinking that the eldest prince is the same age as Qing Yan, although he is not his own child, he is shouting that he "father" has grown up. There is no blood relationship between father and son, but there is the love of father and son.
So Xu Jing got up and dusted off his robe, and said to Feng Zuo, "Let's go, go and have a look." β
