Chapter 69: Cooperation
Shen Chao is tall and expensive, he has always robbed others and reprimanded others, how could anyone have robbed him of white?
To be realistic, even if Shen Chao entered the left and right guard camps and took care of his boss, for the sake of him being the son of the county prince, he was always pleasant and spoke well, and he never was too harsh.
It's good today, in front of so many people, I was choked by a teenage girl, where is this face going to go?!
What a shame! Shen Chao's handsome face like white jade was instantly red and burning, and even his scalp was numb!
In addition, the person he is dedicated to defending, not only does he not speak for him at this time, but in turn reprimands himself for being wrong!
Compare him to the ignorant woman!
Shen Chao didn't want to mention how aggrieved he was, and he couldn't help but stare at the troublemaker behind the screen!
He snorted and panted, and with all his strength, he clenched his hands into fists before he could control the pace he wanted to rush out.
Qi Xuanhui saw that he was puffing out his eyes, clenching his fists, and looking like he wanted to bite someone a few times, and he didn't feel a little flustered, worried that this person who had a bad deal with Cao Tang and mixed up the good things between him and Cui Wanqing!
However, he soon had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and hurriedly patted Shen Chao's shoulder and persuaded in a low voice, "Okay, let's be big men, don't worry about them, you are obedient, go out first, and wait for me to go out." ”
Sure enough, he used the right method this time, this kid is a donkey at all, and when he saw Qi Xuanhui's gentle tone and close tone.
Full of anger. Deng Shi was replaced by a large sense of grievance, he looked at Qi Xuanhui with red eyes, his eyes were full of resentment, and his arms were stiff and he hugged his fists and saluted, finally there was no rudeness.
Qi Xuanhui watched the back of Shen Chao leaving quickly, and listened to the angry footsteps of knock, knock, knock.
"Ugh." He couldn't help but shake his head helplessly and sighed, "I'm still used to it by my family." Look. It's such a big person, and it's still a child's temper. ”
"Such a little thing is so exciting, I almost have to come down with the golden beans, and I have to come out with it."
"Or not. Just his heart. was gnawed by people with belt bones. I don't know why people want to gnaw him. ”
Shen Chao's father is Shen Chunlin, the current Duke of Wuping County. This county duke is the youngest of several county dukes, and he is in the prime of life.
Shen Chunlin's temper was on the feminine side, and he didn't know how to do it in his previous life, so he looked at the ruthless Qi Xuanhui and became a diehard loyalist of Lord Yama, supporting Qi Xuanhui from beginning to end.
Therefore, after Qi Xuanhui died, the Wuping County Mansion could not be saved, and it didn't take long for Emperor Wenhua to find a reason and copy it clean.
It is equivalent to the county mansion of the family that was tired by him, and fell to the ground from the sky, it is estimated that as long as Emperor Wenhua is in charge, their surname Shen will not be able to turn over.
Qi Xuanhui rarely felt sorry for anyone, but it just so happened that this Wuping County Duke had to be counted as one, and whoever owed him, he had to make up for it, but what he owed to others had to be compensated in this life.
The reason why he chose Shen Chao when he went to Beijing to do business this time was because he deliberately brought the children of his old family, and secondly, Shen Chao himself was also a master with real materials.
Now it seems that this kid still has a lot of problems, and he really has to be trained well, and he can only be trained well
Here, Shen Chao went out with a stomach full of anger, and Cao Tang couldn't help but hold Cui Wanqing's hand in the screen, swaying from side to side and saying, "Cousin, look, he still dares to stare at me, if it weren't for Brother Qi Shi to stop him, wouldn't he break in and eat people?" ”
"This person is too arrogant!"
Cui Wanqing was choked by her, and it was hard to say, that child is not a slave, and his status is not necessarily lower than yours!
can only be softly persuaded and said good things.
When Qi Xuanhui saw Cui Wanqing being Cao Tang, he shook it happily, and when he sat outside, he could hear the pearls on Cui Wanqing's sideburns colliding with each other.
He was afraid that this person who directly put him on the tip of his heart would be completely shaken apart, so he hurriedly explained to Cao Tang, "Cao Shimei misunderstood, Shen Chao is not a servant below, he is the son of an old friend, this time he specially followed me out to open his eyes." ”
"That kid is also used to being undignified at home, he should be choked by you like this today, Cao Shimei must not be angry, I will teach him a good lesson in a while, and let him apologize to you personally!"
Cao Tang stopped his hand when he heard this, tilted his little head, and tried to recall the person's dress, appearance and demeanor just now.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that the person's demeanor and bearing just now were really not what a slave could have.
Think about it, too, "Whose slave will wear tribute satin?" ”
"Whose slave will have a jade belt tied around his waist?"
"Whose slave will be taller than the master?"
"Whose slave will grow like the golden boy in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so handsome"
"Ahh When Cao Tang thought of this, his face flushed, he shook his head again and again, hurriedly threw away Cui Wanqing's hand, turned around and sat on the Luohan couch, and was so ashamed that he refused to look up again.
Cui Wanqing didn't know that she was ashamed, but when she saw that she was not making a fuss, she sat honestly, her heart was relieved, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
secretly thought, "This kid has a temper, and ordinary people are really unable to resist, it really doesn't look like the daughter of the Hou Mansion, but like a tiger girl!" ”
She will, isn't she made trouble by Cao Tang and sweats a thin layer?
Cui Wanqing wiped the corners of her forehead with a handkerchief, and smiled gratefully at Qi Xuanhui through the embroidery screen.
Qi Xuanhui could feel how grateful Cui Wanqing was to himself through the screen, and it was so refreshing that he could solve problems for his sweetheart.
There was nothing vulgar in his eyes, and he brought a touch of color.
Everyone took advantage of Cao Tang's silence to relieve their tense emotions.
Qi Xuanhui was not in a hurry, and tasted two sips of tea shallowly before he continued: "Two sisters." You may not believe it, but in the next day, you are actually planning to go to Hongruo Temple to offer incense. ”
"The servants in the lower house are packing up the things that have been sent to the Buddha, you can send someone to the backyard, and you will know at a glance that what I said is true."
"The reason why I asked like that just now is that it is at least more than 50 miles away from Hongruo Temple, and the road is surrounded by mountain roads. It doesn't seem to be very peaceful. ”
"If you don't know, you're going to Hongruo Temple. It's okay, but I already know it, and I'm really not at ease in the next place, so I'll let you go on the road alone. ”
"It's good if the sisters arrive at the temple safely. In case there is a slip-up. When I go back to Beijing, where do I still have the face to see Brother Cui? ”
That's why I just asked. The original intention was to discuss with you, we might as well go together, so that we can take care of one or two. ”
He opened the conversation here. Cao Tang in the other side was even more embarrassed, she said in a whisper: "It turns out that I misunderstood Brother Qi Shi, I'm really sorry." ”
"This matter, don't mention it in front of Third Brother Cui when you go back to Beijing, otherwise I will really have no face to see anyone, little sister."
After saying this, Cao Tang, who was full of apologies, looked at Cui Wanqing pitifully, and asked Qi Xuanhui in a low voice: "Cousin Qing, otherwise, let's go with Brother Qi Shi, right?" ”
"You see that he is so sincere in his invitation, if we don't agree, it will be hypocritical."
Cui Wanqing listened to her words, and her heart was so happy, her little cousin was so cute, she really wanted to hold someone in her arms and twist her pink cheeks a few times.
Mother Fang, who was standing on the side, said worriedly: "Listening to what Qi Gongzi said, I am afraid that the road to Hongruo Temple is not easy to walk." ”
"Why don't we go? Let Butler Cui send someone to say hello. ”
Cui Wanqing immediately rejected when she heard this, "No, my father's mood is extremely unstable, and I am most afraid that he will fall into the Buddha's astray path as soon as he breaks free from the shackles in his heart." ”
"Even if I use a tow this time, I must take him home!"
"Mama, it's not that you don't know, the third uncle also has serious things to do when he goes to the south, but now he follows his father every day, where does he have time to busy his affairs? How can this be done? ”
"I have to go to Hongruo Temple, Brother Qi is a friend of the third brother, and we have met in the third brother's teahouse."
"He is also the son of everyone in the capital, this will appear in front of us, isn't it the gospel that the Buddha blessed us in heaven and sent us?"
The implication is that he trusts Qi Xuanhui who is sitting outside, but this means that he wants to take a shift.
Mother Shi has been standing outside the screen, not only to entertain guests, but also to secretly observe, so as to have a preliminary judgment on the character of this friend of the third son.
She saw that the looks of Qi Xuanhui and Shen Chao could only be described with Lanzhi Yushu, such words of praise could be described, and they were pertinent enough.
Although that Shen Gongzi, with the arrogance of a rich and noble family, is not something to think about at first glance, but this Qi Gongzi is extraordinary.
If you look at his sitting posture, it's called a flat and stable, and every move is graceful and free.
The posture of drinking tea is beautiful like a painting, and the person who looks at it is pleasing to the eye.
Although Qi Gongzi was wearing a white satin robe, the style was simple and simple, but it was very smooth.
The belt tied around the waist, the white jade inlaid with obsidian, the glow is shining, very exquisite, and the jade pendant sachet embellished on it is also a top-notch valuable.
Just looking at the ivory-handled folding fan that he casually rested on the desk, Mother Shi dared to pack the ticket, which was definitely an old thing and a rare treasure.
Such a splendid character, at first glance, is not an ordinary man, a rare wonderful character.
But when Mother Shi thought about it, she was relieved.
The capital can become close friends with his third son, which one is not from a big family?
is only such a noble appearance, is he worthy of being a friend of his third son?
When she asked Fang Rong to ask for the screen just now, Fang Rong was hinted by her, and chatted with the errand boy intentionally or unintentionally, so she knew that the owner of this Cuifeng Teahouse was not surnamed Qi?
can get along in a few miles, and the person sitting in front of him is a suave and well-bred noble son, and Mother Shi really doesn't feel that there is anything to worry about.
So for Cui Wanqing's insistence, Mother Shi expressed her approval with silence.
After listening to her young lady's words, Fang's mother frowned and could go together, rubbing the handkerchief in her hand, and couldn't stop complaining in her heart, "Alas, why is my young lady so miserable?!" ”
"There is such an unreliable Lao Tzu on the stall, ordinary people are fathers who care about their children, but when they come to our house, they are reversed, and they are replaced by small ones who care about the old!"
couldn't help but blurt out: "Our master can also toss, and he spends all day by the side of Master Ran, aren't you afraid that other masters will be bored?" ”
Qi Xuanhui was bowing his head and sipping fragrant tea at that time, and he was amused by Fang's mother's words, and sighed that Fang's mother was the one who told the truth.
Cui Wanqing sighed and tugged at the corner of Fang's mother's clothes, glanced outside, and shook her head gently.
Mother Fang instantly came back to her senses, "I am a slave, and it is a big sin to slander my master secretly." ”
She hurriedly chose to shut up, panicking for a while, for fear of being looked down upon, and she didn't even have the intention of stopping Cui Wanqing from going to Hongruo Temple.
After getting Fang's mother, Cui Wanqing got up and blessed this Qi Xuanhui, "In this case, then our sisters will trouble you, Brother Qi." ”
"We originally planned to rush to the temple today, and if we can go with you, it will be very reassuring."
"The little girl will definitely tell her brother the truth in the peace letter, and when you return to the capital, you will definitely let your brother be the east, please eat and drink and thank you."
Qi Xuanhui was shouted by Cui Wanqing, the world's brother, and his heart was full of joy, and his body was half crisp.
In order to suppress this untimely smile, the corners of his lips twitched, but fortunately, Shen Chao had already gone out and couldn't see his weird look.
Otherwise, his original tall image in the minds of people and children would collapse in an instant.
And the house is full of maids waiting, mothers, with different identities, and no one dares to poke and poke directly, staring at him non-stop.
With this little gaffe of his, no one found out.
Qi Xuanhui took a few deep breaths, calmed down his ecstasy, arched his hand and spoke softly, and said a few words humbly.
picked up the desk, the antique ivory handle ancient fan, opened with a bang, and fanned the breeze in a chic and freehand manner.
With full sincerity in his mouth, he discussed with Cui Wanqing, "Cui Shimei, if you can rest assured about the tea that Cao Shimei just mentioned, let the shopkeeper below do it." ”
"The master in the temple is particular about drinking tea, and my shopkeeper has experienced a lot, and he knows how to match it best to make the masters like it."
"I just don't know, Cui Shimei, how many copies are you going to prepare?"
Cui Wanqing came to buy tea, which was an excuse to go with Qi Xuanhui.
She started preparing in the kitchen yesterday, and today she brought several boxes full of snacks, which are the hearts she gave to Master Ran.
As for the tea, let's go with Qi Xuanhui's arrangement. (To be continued......)
