Chapter 169: The Gathering
In a box in Fumanlou, there were already three men with beautiful scenery and a young woman with a shy face combing a woman's hair.
As soon as Xu Qingqing looked up, she could see Hang Yixuan sitting opposite her, Hang Yixuan smiled politely and detachedly but gently, Xu Qingqing's face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
Although he knew that the elder brother of the Hang family would not look bad when he looked at Hang Yidong, but when he really saw people, it made people feel like a spring breeze, Xu Qingqing felt that he was still underestimated, and besides, the gentle appearance of the elder brother of the Hang family was really the same as the Chen Liu she had just met, but it was a pity that after getting along for a long time, she would find out that Chen Liu's domineering hidden under the gentle surface was in her bones.
Chen Liu looked at her little lady with her head down and blushing, and poured her a cup of milk tea: "Try this Fumanlou's milk tea, I heard that the taste is very authentic." β
Xu Qingqing looked at Hang Yixuan, who was Qingjun opposite, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who was sitting next to Hang Yixuan, and found that neither of them looked at him, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled sweetly at Chen Liu, and whispered: "Thank you, Xianggong." Then he picked up the warm milk tea and sipped it in small sips.
To be honest, Xu Qingqing felt a little embarrassed, there were four people in this box, two of them were foreign men, and their status was not low, Xu Qingqing didn't dare to speak, so he could only rely on his father-in-law.
Looking at Xu Qingqing's well-behaved appearance, Chen Liu felt a little strange in his heart, but he was afraid that there were two people in this box, Chen Liu just stroked her hair gently, which made Xu Qingqing smile sweetly at him.
Endure the throbbing in his heart, Xu Qingqing looked at Hang Yixuan who was sitting opposite, no wonder Qingqing would blush, if he was a woman, I was afraid that he would also be moved by Hang Yixuan.
How so? The longer he stayed in this bustling and lively and impetuous capital, Hang Yixuan not only did not be dazzled by these flowers, but the noble appearance on his body made him more and more picturesque. β
But Hang Yixuan was only good-looking before, and even if it was opened, it wouldn't come to such a point.
Chen Liu shook the folding fan in his hand, and a pair of eyes scanned Hang Yixuan up and down, as if he was looking at some strange object.
What Chen Liu didn't know was that Mayang Village was not rich per capita, and now every household is in need of help, although Hang's father is the village head, but it is only a little better than ordinary people, not to mention, Hang Yixuan was evaluated as "manufacturable material" by the only master in the town, although the old couple didn't understand any reason, but they also knew that reading was a good thing, so they gritted their teeth, worked hard, and sent Hang Yixuan to the town to study.
Since then, the situation at home has deteriorated, and every meal can only be full, and the people who can eat meat once every three months can only see the smell of meat once during the New Year, and everyone in the family is yellow and hungry.
Hang Yixuan is sensible early, relying on being able to write a good hand, he helps others copy books to earn money at a young age, but people bully him for a young age, and he takes a long time to copy books, and he is a drop in the bucket, and the money given is not even half of the money, in addition to his own life, the money Hang Yixuan saves is only enough to buy some snacks for his sister every time he goes home.
So much so that the family has been skin-to-bone for many years, tightening their belts to prevent themselves from feeling hungry. Others can't notice the abnormality, it's just that they are wearing clothes, and outsiders can't see the inside of this family.
At that time, because they were too thin, Hang's father and Hang's mother were old, except that they looked a little unenergetic, but Hang Yidong and Hang Yixuan were a little thin and out of shape because of malnutrition, and it was not until the next few years that the life in Mayang Village began to get better, and the Hang family's table only had some meat and vegetables from time to time.
It's just that Hang Yidong, who is at home, was raised back, and he has some meat on his face, but Hang Yixuan has been studying in the school, and he can only eat a good meal when he goes home. And when he got older, Hang Yixuan grew crazy in height, looking at more than 1.8 meters, but because his nutrition did not keep up, Hang Yixuan has always been thinner than his peers.
Not to mention that he hurt his leg later, coupled with the despair and helplessness at the beginning, the whole person showed a sense of defeat, even if he figured it out later, Hang Yixuan was already thin enough to lose shape, and the sunken cheeks and high cheekbones all indicated that this young man was desperate for life.
After Hang Yidong noticed that the family was in a bad state, he fed them a body strengthening pill, and mixed some spiritual spring into their usual water, Hang's father and Hang's mother were visibly spiritual, and the wrinkles at the corners of He's eyes had faded, and a few silver threads on Hang's father's head were gone, as for Hang Yixuan and Xiao Hao Hang Yidong, although the changes were not as obvious as Hang's father and Hang's mother, but the whole person was not comparable to before.
As far as Hang Yixuan is concerned, now that he has a clean and dusty appearance, no one in Beijing can compare.
The prince looked at Chen Liu while fanning his fan, while staring at Hang Yixuan with scrutinizing eyes, Chen Liu's wolf-proof eyes, the prince only felt a burst of amusement, and gently threw a teacup over: "What are you looking at?" β
As soon as Chen Liu put the fan away, the teacup stood upright on the tip of the fan, Chen Liu pretended that nothing had happened and put the teacup on the table, picked up the teapot and poured water into it, and did not forget to reply: "Since our Lord Xiao is handsome and incomparable, I didn't pay attention to it for a while, and I just saw it." After speaking, he smiled faintly at Hang Yixuan, and Xiao Hao turned his head and glanced at Chen Liu.
The prince took the tea that Chen Liu handed back to him, and put the cup firmly in front of Hang Yixuan, Hang Yixuan seemed to be deliberately angry with Chen Liu, took a sip and said to Chen Liu: "The tea poured by Chen Gongzi is really different, it tastes very good, why don't you keep pouring tea for me in the future?" β
Chen Liu, a big man, was not angry when he was said like this, but said: "If I can laugh at the Pomeranian, what if I pour more tea?" β
A big son is said to be a subordinate, and an upstart is regarded as a beauty.
The two looked at each other and smiled, looking at each other with a knife in their eyes.
When Xiao Hao and Hang Yidong entered the box, it was such a scene, Xiao Er saw that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately left after greeting a few distinguished guests.
It's Xu Qingqing, seeing that the gentle Xianggong was talking to Lord Xiao and the prince well, but somehow he started to fight with Lord Xiao, even if it is simple, Xu Qingqing is also a young lady from an official family, where can you not see the eyebrow lawsuit between the two? It's just that she's a woman, and it's not easy to get involved in the affairs of men, and even the prince hasn't spoken? What's more, it's her?
So as soon as Xu Qingqing saw Hang Yidong, his eyes immediately lit up, and he stared at Hang Yidong tightly.
Xiao Hao pulled Hang Yidong to sit, Hang Yidong sat next to Xu Qingqing, since she came in, she felt a hot gaze locked on her, Hang Yidong turned around, where else did he know?
Hang Yidong patted Xu Qingqing's hand soothingly, signaling her to relax, and immediately received a grateful look from the other party.
Hang Yidong saw the anger in his brother's eyes, and Chen Liu, who didn't even shake the fan on the side, felt strange, so he turned his gaze to the only prince who was not involved: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is?" You know, her brother has never been angry in front of her, and she has always thought that her brother is a good man and is worried that he will be bullied. and Chen Liu, since he met him, he has a smiling appearance, even if he knows that he is not simple, he has never seen such a condensed expression.
Even Xiao Hao was a little curious, originally he thought that he had gained the only "love" from his brother-in-law, but he didn't expect that someone could provoke Hang Yixuan.
The prince looked at the two of them and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, saying that he couldn't help.
Xu Qingqing's eyes that were originally expecting the prince to stop the two dimmed in an instant, and she had to pull Chen Liu's robe under the table in front of the whole room, and called Han in a low voice: "Xianggong, Xianggong." β
Chen Liu, who was originally fighting with Hang Yixuan's eyes, heard his lady's gentle and worried shout, and immediately followed the voice to look over, only to see his little lady looking at him with slightly red eyes, Chen Liu immediately encircled the person into his arms in distress, gently patted Xu Qingqing's back, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." β
Hang Yixuan also looked away and smiled at Hang Yidong who was looking at him.
When the prince saw that everyone had come, he said to the door, "Let's serve the food." β
It didn't take long for delicate and delicious dishes to be served on the table.
While enjoying it, everyone talked about the recent current affairs, Xu Qingqing didn't quite understand, but she was very obediently eating the dishes that Chen Liujia gave her, Chen Liu would ask Xu Qingqing about the taste of the vegetables from time to time, Xu Qingqing always smiled shyly, and then whispered "delicious".
Hang Yidong looked at the interaction of the little couple, and was very pleased, it seems that Qingqing is indeed married to a good husband.
Just as she was sighing, she saw that there was an extra piece of fish in her bowl, and the thorns were all shaved.
Hang Yidong turned his head to look at Xiao Hao, and saw Xiao Hao smiling at her, with a naΓ―ve look, Hang Yidong held back the amusement in his heart, gave Xiao Hao a chopstick of vegetables, and said to him: "Eat more, get off the fire." β
Xiao Hao raised his eyebrows, but he still ate all the dishes that Hang Yidong sandwiched, and opened his mouth to say coquettishly to Hang Yidong: "Lady, I still want to eat that meat, you clip it for me." β
"Don't make a fuss."
"If you don't clip me, I'll talk to you like this all day. Okay, lady. β
"You!"
Hang Yidong resigned himself to Xiao Hao's meat, and Xiao Hao ate with a happy face.
