Chapter 235: The Old Man of the Chu Family

Tomorrow will be the day of the feast.

The banquet was ready, and the chef of the most prestigious four-sided building in the capital was invited.

The dishes are naturally impeccable......

Xie Ke got up early in the morning, and finally 'caught' Qi Lu today, it was not that Qi Lu deliberately avoided her, but she took her daughter during the day and slept naturally at night. Xiao Mingyue never cries at night, and usually sleeps until dawn. Even if he woke up by chance at night, Xie Ke couldn't question Qi Lu blindly. So this delay has dragged on until this time.

Met Xie Ke's slightly stunned little face.

Qi Lu sneered...... "Sister Bao." ”

"Alyu, you have something to hide from me." Xie Ke said softly. Qi Lu shook his head. "No, it's just that there have been more trivial things in the house recently. Coupled with the fact that the Emperor may have to arrange errands for me in a while, I will naturally have to arrange everything in the palace before then. "It's just a matter of the house?" Xie Ke still felt that Qi Lu's words had another deep meaning. It's just that the teenager is playing a scoundrel, and she can't do it, not to mention that today is a big day.

This is almost equivalent to Xiao Mingyue's 100-day banquet.

"It's just that there are some problems with the supply of a few shops. You also know that the plague is terrified. Business is naturally not easy to do...... If it's a side business, it's just that the tea and silk business can't be messed up in any way. Even if the year is turbulent, it can't close its doors, and it can only barely hold on. The problem with the supply of goods is the tea shipped from the south, it is said that the famine in the south is not serious, and the price of tea will not be raised by 50%, so I plan to go to the south to see it in person after the banquet. ”

"You're going out?" "Yes. Before the emperor sends an errand, I will go out for the next time, and I will return in a month at most......"

Qi Lu said the Tao, Xie Ke thought about it, although he felt that Qi Lu's words were reasonable, but he still had a feeling of unsteadiness in his heart. "I went to visit Aunt Yuyang yesterday, and during the days when I was not in the capital, you lived in Princess Yuyang's mansion." Even she and her daughter were settled.

This made Xie Ke feel even more strange in his heart.

"Is it necessary to disturb Aunt Yuyang? There are three layers of guards in the house and three layers outside, unless the emperor summons them, and others are closed to visitors. ”

If Zhao Song hadn't been killed. Naturally, there is no need to be so grassy. But the enemy is in the dark, and they are in the light, so it is better to be on guard. "What's that, as soon as Aunt Yuyang heard that I was going out of Beijing on business. Take the initiative to let your mother and daughter move in with her. You know that, too. Brother Qingqian has not yet returned to Beijing. My aunt is very lonely alone, and my aunt is very happy to have you and Mingyue and my aunt as companions. ”

Seeing that Xie Ke was still frowning. Qi Lu couldn't help but feel a little impatient in his heart......

"Anyway, you just listen to me. I'll go to the princess's mansion early tomorrow morning. How could the young man's expression escape Xie Ke, Xie Ke's heart twisted slightly, and he tried to smile on his face, and then nodded. Good. Softly replied. The expression on Qi Lu's face was a little better...... He can spoil Xie Ke, indulge Xie Ke, and even ask for nothing wrong with her.

But he didn't like to be tied by women.

Xie Ke is certainly a little smart, but Mingyue is still young, as long as she takes care of Mingyue, he doesn't want her to be distracted.

After all, this kind of bloody thing is not something that a girl's family should be involved in. Xie Ke's soft tone made Qi Lu's troubled heart suddenly calm down......

He thought that he was too harsh on her, and he had clearly said that he would not hide everything, but it was just this matter, but it was not suitable to tell her. "I'll be back in January at most, and it's late autumn, didn't you say you wanted to go to Huguo Temple? I will accompany you personally. ”

Xie Ke nodded again.

Qi Lu is Qi Lu after all, and the reason why he has always been like a gentle boy next door is just because he didn't touch his reverse scales. She didn't know what was going on, so Xie Ke instinctively felt that something must be not small. As for why he didn't tell her, Xie Ke believed it was for her good.

It's just that this feeling of not knowing anything and being isolated by him is really bad.

She thought she had gone through his heart. became his indispensable ......

Xie Ke laughed a little self-deprecatingly, thinking that she overestimated herself. The boy's cold temperament was only temporarily hidden. "Sister Bao, I'm ......" Qi Lu was very distressed, Xie Ke had been married to Qi Lu for almost two years. These hundreds of days and nights, except for a few days when they could not stay together, they were almost inseparable.

He knew that the little girl was really treating him well.

If possible, he didn't want to see her shed even a single tear. But this incident is not trivial, and it can easily kill people. He couldn't let her be frightened all day long, compared to her, he would rather her be cranky, even if it was misunderstood him...... "Alu, you don't have to say it, I shouldn't ask more, I always rest assured that you do things." You can go to work with peace of mind, and my daughter and I will wait for you to come back at Aunt Yuyang's place. ”

"Okay." Qi Lu didn't say anything in the end, but the expression on his face was very gentle.

The inner courtyard and the outer courtyard are held at the same time, and the inner courtyard is set up in the wing room of the 'Jinke Jade Building', and there are several tables for the seats...... Xie Ke thought that there would not be many female dependents at the beginning, after all, men just took this opportunity to have a relationship with Qi Lulala, and there would definitely be no fewer women. Although she is the second young grandmother of the Qi family, Qi Lu has never been liked by the head of the Qi family.

And even if she is Qi Lu's wife, she is really nothing in the capital, where the wealth and nobility gather.

What's more, he also has to bear the risk of having a bad relationship with Lady Qi and Princess Hanyang...... But I don't want to open more than ten tables just for the seats in the inner courtyard......

All the wives of high-ranking officials came, and there were even the wives of first-class and second-class officials in the court. Xie Ke was dizzy to see, but fortunately, Qi Lu arranged an old lady to follow Xie Ke in advance, although he couldn't tell the origin of the ladies, but with the help of the old man, there was nothing ugly.

As a junior, Xie Ke is naturally very humble.

The ladies who came to congratulate today are actually embarrassed in their hearts, how do you say they should get along with this young Second Lady Qi?

First, Qi Lu has no official position, and secondly, this second young grandmother is really too young, and she looks like a beautiful little girl. Even if she has a cute doll of Yuxue in her arms, this face is still a little young and immature.

They are the concubines in Beijing, and their husbands and gentlemen are all among the ministers.

Salute, lose your identity, don't salute, this Qi Er Shao is really a special existence. Qi Er Shao was given a fief by the emperor just because he had a princess mother. In fact, it is equivalent to a county king, but he does not have the title of county king.

In short, the concubines were very embarrassed.

Fortunately, Xie Ke is a polite person, and he took the initiative to come forward to ask An to salute, so that the ladies who came to congratulate would not be embarrassed, let alone lose their identity and face.

The gifts given by the ladies are nothing more than jade pendants, gold locks and the like, but they are auspicious. The real gift was delivered a few days ago. The reason why I came to the door today was that most of them were curious about this young Qi Er Shao grandmother, after all, it is rumored that this second young grandmother can only make Qi Er Shao ask for marriage by relying on her face.

When I saw it today, everyone's hearts suddenly ......

This face is really beautiful. But it seems that it is not only the beauty of life, this second young grandmother seems to treat people and things, and she is very safe in dealing with everything.

It's not like a guy who only has a pretty face.

Xie Ke beckoned everyone to sit at the table, acting as the hostess of the Qi clan for the first time. Although it is inevitably a little nervous, it is more of a novelty. Looking at the luxuriously dressed women in front of her, whether they were nearly forty years old or in their twenties, their eyes looked at her with curiosity and concern.

But there was no malice in their eyes.

Some people even took the initiative to show favor to her and asked her to have time to visit the house.

This is the difference between the concubine and the woman of the market, even if she is very curious, whether it is her eyes or conversation, it will only make people feel comfortable. is teasing Xiao Mingyue, and it is also very moderate. Seeing Xiao Mingyue twist her brows, she immediately smiled and stepped back. In short, this is the first time she has really entered the circle of noblewomen in the capital.

In the midst of the women's laughter and conversation.

A very discordant footstep suddenly sounded......

As soon as the footsteps came out, everyone couldn't help but raise their eyes to look.

Xie Ke's brows couldn't help but tighten, and he handed Mingyue to Yuhui on the side, and got up to greet him.

"Sister Yu."

Xie Yu came a little late, but he hesitated what clothes to wear before going out, changed one after another, and finally chose this lake blue gown. Along the way, Quan Sheng complained again and again, saying that Xie Yu was too slow, if he was late, wouldn't it make Qi Lu suspect that he didn't really come to congratulate.

Xie Yu was very annoyed when she heard this, but Quan Sheng was easy to treat her gently.

I would come to her yard every other day or two.

She didn't want to anger Quan Sheng, so that he went to accompany that fox girl every day in a fit of anger. It's just that...... Xie Yu still couldn't hide his anger.

It's not because of Quan Sheng's complaints, but because before going out, there was an unfamiliar guest.

What's even more excessive is that after the woman said a few words, Quan Sheng really believed the woman. Finally let the woman ride with her...... This made Xie Kejue feel that she had to be slapped in the face yesterday, and she was already very embarrassed as a flat wife, and coming to the Qi family made her feel even more embarrassed yesterday. But at this time, she could only gain a foothold in the Quan clan by borrowing Xie Ke's momentum.

She could only endure her disgust.

But this woman actually came together, isn't it the same as telling Xie Ke.

She had a very bad time in the Kwon family...... Seeing Xie Ke, especially Xie Ke's shallow smile, as well as his graceful posture after giving birth to a child. Xie Yu suddenly felt ashamed of himself.

She couldn't help but bow her head slightly.

But the next moment, the woman who was originally walking behind her passed her and walked straight towards Xie Ke.

"Sister Bao, do you remember me?" Then he said with a smile.

Xie Ke couldn't help but stop and look at this person, only to see that this person had clear eyebrows and a light smile on his face. At first glance, her face looked a little familiar, but she didn't dare to recognize who this person was.

The woman couldn't help but hide her veil and smile softly. "You're still like when you were a kid, you're always very calm when things happen. Unlike me, my temperament is always so unstable. I'm Ah Xiang...... Chu Xiang. When we were young, we went to the Chu clan together. (To be continued.) )
