Chapter Forty-Three: A Man Who Looks Pleasing to the Eye
When the dish was almost served, Zheng Yang raised his glass to Wen Qixiao and said, "This glass of wine thanks King Qi for taking care of Qiu Lin before!" My third brother is a little naughty and ignorant on weekdays, and he has been bothering you in your house for a long time a few years ago, and if there is anything wrong or inappropriate, I hope that Qi Wang Haihan. ”
This King Qi is the person he has looked relatively pleasing to the eye so far, and he also wants to try to see if there is any possibility of becoming a brother-in-law. Besides, he took good care of her after Qiu Lin was injured last year, so he also wanted to express his gratitude to him.
Qiu Lin was not happy when she heard her eldest brother say to "outsiders" that she was "naughty and ignorant", and shouted aggrievedly: "Brother~ Did you say this about your brother?" What does it mean to be 'naughty and ignorant'? I still reluctantly accept that I am naughty, how old I am and you are still talking about ignorance like this, it hurts my heart too much. ”
Wen Qixiao smiled and said, "Zhenhe Wang Yan is heavy!" I also have a certain responsibility for Qiu Lin to be injured, and I should take care of him, but I didn't arrange good people to protect him. In fact, Qiu Lin is very good, and his personality is relatively cheerful, and we get along very happily. If he is naughty and ignorant, even I have to be upset for him, otherwise how could he create this huge Cloud Pavilion and let countries compete to find him to cooperate. ”
Zheng Yang saw that Qiu Lin was wronged, Wen Qixiao also said good things for her, and hurriedly apologized for her favorite dishes: "Yes, yes, yes, it's the eldest brother's fault, it's the eldest brother who said it wrong!" Here, this is your favorite food, eat more. ”
Qiu Lin picked up the dish a little arrogantly: "It's about the same!" ”
Wen Qixiao looked at Qiu Lin's arrogant appearance and couldn't help but smile.
Wen Qilun and Yu Mingbo, who were sitting opposite Qiu Lin, looked at Qiu Lin in surprise.
Wen Qilun asked incredulously, "King Xian, are you the pavilion master of the famous Cloud Pavilion?" ”
Qiu Lin sat up straight, straightened the placket of his coat, and smiled: "It's exactly below!" ”
"I used to hear my father mention the Cloud Pavilion, and I always wanted to cooperate with the Cloud Pavilion, saying that the Cloud Pavilion was very powerful. I finally saw you today, I didn't expect you to be so young and so handsome, hehe......" Wen Qilun said excitedly, scratching his head a little embarrassedly in the back, and it was strange and cute.
Yu Mingbo was also very excited, but he was a little better than Wen Qilun, and he nodded in agreement.
Qiu Lin joked: "Shouldn't it be rumored that I'm a bad old man outside?!" If that's the case, I won't be able to accept it. After saying that, she shuddered, as if she was really being told like this outside.
Everyone was amused by her appearance.
Wen Qilun and Yu Mingbo pestered Qiu Lin to chat, Qiu Lin had a good impression of these two young men, especially Wen Qilun, the little uncle, I still remember that every time he saw her when he was still a child, he called her "Sister Jingyi" sweetly, and when he didn't see each other for many years, he was already a tall and strong adult, not only good looks, but also a noble temperament in words and deeds.
As long as Qiu Lin is not facing Wen Qixiao, he can quickly open the topic, and the three of them chatted about various topics, and they can all talk very happily.
The atmosphere in the box is more relaxed and cheerful.
Everyone talked and laughed, ate and drank, ate a lot of food, and drank a lot of wine.
Qiu Lin loves to eat shrimp, Zheng Yang will peel the shrimp and put it in her bowl, and she doesn't need to do it at all. From time to time, she will put some of her favorite dishes into her bowl, and Qiu Lin will eat them calmly, as if this is how it should be.
In fact, having said that, their brother and sister have always done this, whether it is in this life or the previous life, it is already an act engraved in their bones.
Zheng Yang's habitual operation made Wen Qixiao's heart a little sour, and he hoped that the person who gave the autumn rain was himself.
I heard that the emperor of Shan Li Kingdom and the king of Zhenhe doted on this righteous third brother very much, and seeing it is believing today, it is indeed a rumor, and it is really spoiled enough.
During this period, Zheng Yang asked Wen Qixiao: "King Qi, we are going to go elsewhere tomorrow, I don't know what your plans are?" ”
Wen Qixiao replied: "We don't have any plans, we just go to where we go, see all kinds of scenery in various places, and taste the customs and customs of various places." If it's convenient for you, can you let us go with us? ”
Zheng Yang thought for a moment and said, "There is nothing convenient or inconvenient, if you want to go with you, let's go together." But we still have some things to do, and we won't be able to accompany you then. ”
Wen Qixiao: "That's no problem! If you have something to do, go and do your business, we can play by ourselves, and then we will go on the road together when you are done. ”

As soon as she returned to the inn after eating, Qiu Lin followed her eldest brother into his room.
As soon as the door was closed, she asked her eldest brother a little unhappily: "Brother, why did you promise them to follow us?" ”
Seeing that Qiu Lin looked a little unhappy, Zheng Yang stepped forward and pinched her face, chuckling, "What's wrong?" ”
Qiu Lin patted her brother's hand away and said dissatisfiedly: "We are here to observe the people's feelings, and we are not out to travel, so we don't bring such a group, right?" ”
She really didn't want to stay with Wen Qixiao anymore, even if there were too many people, she was afraid that the more she got along with him, the more she would be unable to contain it. It's better not to touch or try to have as little contact as possible.
Zheng Yang shook his head with a smile and said, "It's just to observe the people's feelings, and there are no ulterior secrets, it can be regarded as a semi-tourist state, since they want to go together, I don't think there is anything wrong." ”
Qiu Lin still refused to give up: "What we observe is the people's feelings of our Shan Li country, but is it appropriate to bring the princes of Yasukuni with us?" ”
Zheng Yang said leisurely: "Now that the world is peaceful, the exchanges between countries are much closer, in addition to the close exchanges between merchants from various countries, will those princes and high-ranking officials move around less in other countries in private?" ”
Qiu Lin frowned and did not speak.
The eldest brother is right, in the past few years, after their Shan Li Kingdom has become strong, there are many princes and princes from other countries who have come to their Shan Li Kingdom to learn from them, that is, they have gone to other countries to investigate a lot, the most typical is Qiu Lin herself, she herself runs all over the world, collects crops and animals with economic value all over the world and brings them back to China, and the business of Cloud Pavilion is also slowly blooming everywhere in other countries.
Zheng Yang continued: "This time, King Qi, they came to our Shan Li Kingdom and said that they were traveling, who knows if they came to learn from the scriptures?" If they are allowed to follow us, then they have to follow our pace. Most of the places we walked to observe the people's feelings this time are rural areas, these places are all rural and rural, either farming or raising some livestock, and there is nothing else to learn. If they really came to travel, how could they endure this hardship for a long time with their noble status, and maybe they couldn't stand it after a few days and left on their own. ”
What he said was not unreasonable, Qiu Lin couldn't refute what he said, but he was a little unwilling to let them follow like this, and wanted to work harder: "But ......"
But Zheng Yang didn't give her a chance to say more, and raised his hand to interrupt her: "Besides, I have promised him at night, and if I go back and say no, then I will slap myself in the face, a dignified Shan Li Guozhen and Wang Yan have no faith, who will believe me again in the future?" ”
Qiu Lin was unwilling to do anything, and when the eldest brother said that she could say anything else on this job, she could only nod and agree.
Zheng Yang has his own thoughts and intentions, and he doesn't want Qiu Lin to know his thoughts now.
Although they are all sister slaves and want to pamper her all their lives, they have never thought of wanting her to stay by their side without marriage for the rest of their lives.
I also told her a few young talents in China before, but she didn't feel it, just like this, year after year, and now she is about to run for thirty people, she is really an old girl or she is still unsettled.
Since she can't look down on the domestic ones, then look abroad and look for it, although she is reluctant, but compared with her sister's happiness, she still gritted her teeth and admitted it.
This King Qi is the most pleasing person he has seen with the second child, and the conditions are very good in all aspects, although he married the princess, but the princess also died many years ago, and now there is no hostess in his palace, and there are no other side concubines, which is very much in line with their hearts.
The distance is far away, as long as these two people can see each other, marry the past, and come back to see them often in the future.
This time there is such a good opportunity to get along with King Qi for a long time, naturally he can't miss this opportunity, he has to observe carefully to see if he is really suitable for Qiu Lin.
Of course, Qiu Lin didn't know these thoughts of her eldest brother, otherwise she would definitely not let Wen Qixiao and them follow them.
Isn't that a joke!
It's too late for her to hide from Wen Qixiao, and she still thinks about marrying her to him, don't even think about it - no way!
