Yao Duran felt empty at this time, and suddenly had an appetite, and said: "Let's go buy Niu's braised goods, you two buy some meat to eat, I am a vegetarian, remember to have more braised lotus root and mushrooms, by the way, don't forget that there is also their special braised noodle soup, don't put braised meat in my bowl." ”

"Yes, ma'am, yes, yes. I'll go. Fuquan said, happily going out into the street.

Lu Yan wondered: "Madam, your habit is really strange, you can't see meat, but you can accept it when you boil it into soup." Have you had this habit since you were a child? ”

Yao Duran's eyes darkened for a moment, in the coldest winter in North Vietnam, her sister's meat was the last meat in her life.

"Yes, I've had this habit since I was a child, and I can't change it, don't think I'm too troublesome." Yao Duran said.

Lu Yan smiled: "How come, people, who doesn't have a problem." ”

The courtyard is brightly lit, warm and amiable. The spring breeze is like an orchid, refreshing people's hearts. The two chatted for a while, and Fuquan came back with a bunch of large bags and small bags.

The three of them sat down at the round table and ate and chatted, which was very comfortable.

Yao Duran remembered something and asked, "By the way, Fuquan, when I got off the carriage, I heard a voice in the courtyard opposite us, is it a new resident?" ”

Fuquan said: "Yes, madam, I only moved here yesterday, and our neighbors to the other side are the family of King Xuan, Xiahou Feng, who has just been summoned from North Vietnam." ”

Yao Duran was surprised when he heard this: "King Xuan, why is he also hospitalized instead of the mansion?" ”

Fu Quan said: "Madam, because of the re-partition, King Xuan has angered Long Yan, so he has lost his fief. This time, I was summoned to Beijing, just waiting for His Majesty to meet after returning to Luan, and at that time, I am afraid that the title of King Xuan will not be able to be kept. ”

Yao Duran agreed: "I see. ”

After a few more people ate and drank and chatted for a while, the night gradually darkened. Yao Duran gently stroked his shoulders and said, "In the night tide, my shoulders hurt again, Lu Yan, you go to decoct the medicine, I will sleep after drinking the medicine." ”

A peaceful night without dreams.

After breakfast the next day, a distinguished guest came to the house. It was the new neighbor on the other side, Princess Xuan. She looked like she was in her forties, amiable and gentle, dignified and elegant in her manners, modest and courteous. She came to visit with a gift.

Fuquan led her into the courtyard and said, "Madam, it's Princess Xuan who is here." ”

Yao Duran hurriedly went to greet her: "Princess Xuan is here?" It's the concubine who is out of reach, and the princess is please. ”

Princess Xuan smiled gently: "Mrs. Qiao is polite, and this concubine is ashamed." Today I heard that Mrs. Qiao is back, so Concubine Ben came to visit. The neighbors should be friendly with each other, and I hope that Mrs. Qiao will not be disturbed. ”

Yao Duran saw this Princess Xuan cordially, and hurriedly smiled: "The princess is serious, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, we live in the same alley, and we are opposite the door, so naturally we have to be close to each other." Princess, please take a seat. ”

"Mrs. Qiao, this is a little gift from this concubine, and I hope Mrs. Qiao will not dislike it." Princess Xuan ordered the maidservants to present gifts.

Yao Duran said: "The princess is serious, and the concubine thank you for your kindness." You are so polite, the concubine is ashamed, it should have been the concubine who visited you first, but she was not in good health, and she did not visit in time, and I hope that the princess will not be too careful. ”

The two sat down in the hall. Lu Qi cooked a pot of Longjing and served melons and fruit snacks.

Princess Xuan looked around with a smile and said, "I heard that Lord Qiao is quite appreciated by His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I didn't expect to be so low-key and simple, which is admirable." ”

Yao Duran listened and asked, "Princess, with all due respect, since you know the identity of your husband, you must have known many things when your husband was in North Vietnam, why are you still ......?"

She didn't say the rest of the words, but the meaning had arrived, and Princess Xuan heard it clearly, and said: "At this time and that time, although Lord Qiao coerced Du Yan to surrender, he gave the final blow to Beiyue and buried Xiahou Jiangshan. But in the final analysis, it was the husband Xuanwang who first picked the head and surrendered, so can you blame others anymore? ”

Yao Dusk remembered it suddenly. Yes, King Xuan made a deal with Yun Ce, and in order to get back his long-lost son from Yun Ce, he finally agreed to recruit the prince to surrender. Since then, with the fall of North Vietnam, he has lost the right to blame anyone.

"I see, then the concubine and her husband can rest assured." Yao Duran said, and personally refilled the fragrant tea for her.

Seeing this, Princess Xuan had a wry smile on the corner of her lips: "Mrs. Meng Qiao's courtesy, Concubine Ben is really moved." Presumably, Mrs. Qiao also knows the situation of our family, this time I came all the way to Nanqian, I am not familiar with the place, and the road ahead is unknown, I visited a few neighbors yesterday, and they all knew our identity after they were alienated and did not dare to get close. Only Mrs. Qiao treated her politely, which was finally a comfort. ”

Yao Duran could hear it clearly, Xiahou Feng was angry that Long Yan was seized of the fief, and now he was called into the Qian, he is indeed a figure who is easy to cause sensitive speculation. So, she is a fourth-grade official wife, and being close to their family will have any impact on Qiao Fengzhi?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Princess Xuan said, "Mrs. Qiao, don't worry too much, you and I are just women, because we are neighbors, we are closer, and the parents between women have nothing to do with anything else." ”

When Yao Duran heard this, she secretly praised her in her heart for being a knowing person, so she said, "What the princess said is true." Wait until your concubine's injuries are better before visiting you. ”

Princess Xuan smiled: "It's good that Mrs. Qiao is willing to intersect." All the things in the past have passed, and now we live in the opposite door, and I think that his husband and Mrs. Qiao will also be colleagues in the DPRK and China, and I hope that Lord Qiao and Mrs. Qiao will take care of them in the future. ”

Yao Duran saw that she finally hit the nail on the head and understood her intentions, and thought about it. Perhaps, King Xuan also knew that his situation was not good, so he simply let the woman come forward to entrap the relationship, even if he couldn't get Qiao Fengzhi's care in the court, at least he could make Qiao Fengzhi not target him.

Thinking about it, Yao Duran said: "What the princess said is that they should naturally take care of each other. ”

Princess Xuan's eyes crossed a look of relief.

The two exchanged a few more polite words, and Princess Xuan got up and said goodbye in a playful manner.

After sending off Princess Xuan, Yao Duran lay back on the bed, and said in her heart, why did she move such a neighbor now? On the surface, it is said that they take care of each other and are friendly to the neighbors. But secretly it is still a question of whether they can intersect. Yao Duran thought for a while, and said in his heart, everything will be discussed in the long run after Qiao Fengzhi comes back.

……

Lintian Mountain Garden.

At the beginning of the night, Qiao Fengzhi slipped out of the room with soft pillows and bunks, jumped on the roof, lay down the bunk, and prepared to sleep on the roof for a clean night. Because of the first night Yao Duran left, Huo Jingyao stayed in his room and refused to leave, and finally squeezed his bed again, forcing him to make a bunk on the floor for the night. Who knew that he slept in a daze until this morning, and when he woke up, he found that Huo Jingyao had squeezed into his bunk again at some point, and was sleeping soundly on his arm.

With this absurd and terrible night, tonight, he simply slipped on the roof early while it was still dark and Huo Jingyao hadn't chased after him. Now, even if he rummaged through the yard, he would never find him.

Not long after lying down, there was a sound of footsteps under the eaves. Qiao Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he came out one step earlier, otherwise he would have been blocked in the room by that Huo Jingyao.

Qiao Fengzhi was silent, like a thief, and he didn't dare to come out.

Unexpectedly, the sound of the two of them talking secretly came from under the eaves, and the two seemed to be passing under the eaves, talking as they walked.

"You go back to do things immediately, remember, the address is the third house on the right row of Hehuan Lane, be sure to act at night, and don't leave a single mouth!"

"Yes, the villain will hurry up and go back to errands!"

These two voices were deliberately suppressed, but they were still heard clearly by Qiao Fengzhi on the roof, and he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.

The third on the right side of Hehuan Lane! Not his house or whose house?

Qiao Fengzhi lifted the quilt violently and quickly jumped off the eaves, trying to catch it on the spot.

After landing, I saw that the two figures had gradually drifted away. Qiao Fengzhi hurriedly chased after him, and blocked the front of the two with great momentum.

"Is that you?" Qiao Fengzhi looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. That person turned out to be - Du Yan?!

Seeing him so imposing, Du Yan asked, "Master Qiao, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Don't ask knowingly! What are you sending him for? Qiao Fengzhi pointed to the entourage beside him and asked angrily.

Du Yan listened, and without saying a word, he suddenly ran away, Qiao Fengzhi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly chased after him.

The two of them walked one after the other, flying on the wall and shuttling in the night. Leaving the wing-room courtyard, the last way to the hunting forest, Du Yan finally stopped.

The two stood opposite each other in the dark woods.

Du Yan sneered: "Qiao Fengzhi, I didn't expect that I would be discovered by you even such a little trick, God really won't help me." ”

Qiao Fengzhi asked angrily: "Du Yan! You are also a man with a wife and children, why should the dispute between our men and children affect the family? Even if you keep holding a grudge against me, something will come at me! Hugh is going to hurt my wife! ”

Du Yan said calmly: "I can't imagine that you Qiao Fengzhi is still a lover?" Yes, I've always held a grudge against you! It's just that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, so they can only be superficially at peace with you. But I'll always give you a little bit of bitterness! Then let's start with your wife. Also, I don't care what kind of male dispute does not burden the family, whose wife is protected, if you are not convinced, you can also plot against my wife. ”

"Shameless! I'm ashamed to be with you. Qiao Fengzhi said and attacked him.

Du Yan saw him with a murderous aura for the first time, and hurriedly made a move to deal with it, the two fought in the forest for a while, and when he saw that Du Yan was about to lose the wind, he suddenly laughed: "Qiao Fengzhi, Qiao Fengzhi!" It's a pity, it's a pity......"

"What a pity?" Qiao Fengzhi asked angrily.

Du Yan said as he answered: "It's a pity, even if you see through my tricks?" You don't want to think about why I ran away when I saw you. ”

When Qiao Fengyi heard this, he immediately accepted the move, gritted his teeth and said, "Tune the tiger away from the mountain?!" ”

Oops! He only cared about chasing Du Yan, but ignored his entourage, presumably at this moment, the entourage had already set off!
