In the next two days, guests from afar began to arrive one after another, Qiu Lin Su Yun and they were so busy that they didn't have time to accompany Wen Qixiao more, Wen Qixiao also understood that she was really busy, so he asked them to leave him alone, he could do it himself.

Although Qiu Lin and Su Yun are very busy, there are also people who are not busy, such as Qiu Xia and Qiu Jing.

Since they had played together that day, in the past two days, their group of children have come to play with Wen Qixiao whenever they have time.

Wen Qixiao couldn't help Qiu Lin and them much, so he was willing to play with these teenagers and girls.

Wen Qixiao gave the gifts he bought on the street that day to Qiu Xia and Qiu Jing, gave Qiu Xia a set of jewelry suitable for a girl to wear, and gave Qiu Jing a set of four treasures of the study.

Both children liked it very much, thanked them, took the gift and happily put it away.

The children took him to play different fun things every day, and most of them were something he had never played, and Wen Qixiao felt both novel and inexplicably excited.

This may have something to do with the environment in which he grew up, as a royal heir, he was deprived of the right to play in childhood since he was a child, and lost the childlike fun he should have.

There are just endless kinds of study and training, coupled with premature entry into the army to lead troops to fight, daily rigorous training and frequent life and death battles, so that he never had a happy childhood and a carefree teenage period.

The time spent with them in the past few days has made him experience that rare happiness.

This is indeed a precious pleasure for him, but for these teenagers and girls, it is a habitual amusement.

Sometimes he admires these children, not only that Qiu Lin has educated them well, but also gives them a rare happy childhood for the royal family, and what is even more rare is that even the prince and princess can have this happy childhood.

According to his observation, this Qiu Jing takes good care of Qiu Xia, and can even be said to spoil her very much.

If there is something delicious, she will eat it first, and if there is something fun, she will play first, and he will always pay attention to her safety and protect her on the side.

It's better to say that he's a younger brother than to say he's an older brother.

This Qiuxia's temperament is very jumpy, very lively, and active, often idle, like a tomboy.

And Qiu Jing's temperament is very gentle, very steady, knowledgeable, thoughtful, thoughtful, and very leader-like, and he is a rare good seedling.

A few people played again until the sunset reflected the red sky before coming back for dinner.

As soon as I approached the dining hall in the inner courtyard, I heard the bustle in the hall before entering, and the children ran in happily when they heard the familiar voice.

Wen Qixiao also followed briskly in.

After the children had saluted the room one by one, they swarmed to a graceful old woman, all of whom were chattering:

"Imperial Grandmother, I miss you so much!"

"Imperial Grandmother, you're finally here!"

"Imperial Grandmother, Kiki misses you too!"

"Imperial Grandmother ......"

“……”

Most of these people in the house, Wen Qixiao, have seen and knew each other, but this noble lady has not seen or known, but it is not difficult to guess from the names of the children that this is the queen mother of Shan Li Kingdom.

This time, the royal family of Shan Li Kingdom also came a lot, not only the kings of Zhenhe, Yiling, Xiaoling, and Wei, but also the queen mother, the emperor and the queen.

It seems that Qiu Lin's popularity is good, and he is very valued by the royal family of Shan Li.

Everyone was surprised to see Wen Qixiao come in, no one thought that he would be here.

After all, this is the inner courtyard of the Cloud Mist Pavilion, and those who can enter here must be his own people, so everyone has taken a look at him.

Wen Qixiao was surprised to see so many people at once, and he was busy greeting everyone.

Zheng Yang is the most familiar person with Wen Qixiao among the people, and he already has a deep friendship, he stepped forward and hugged each other, the corners of his mouth raised, and said with a smile: "Qiu Lin This guy is really good, Brother Wen didn't tell us in advance when he came, so we neglected our guests." ”

Wen Qixiao said: "Brother Zheng is polite! Qiu Lin was busy with him, and I asked him to leave me alone. ”

King Wei and Wen Qixiao are also familiar with each other, and they don't see each other, and said: "I didn't expect Qiu Lin to invite Brother Wen to come, Brother Wen can come all the way, it seems that your friendship is not shallow!" ”

Wen Qixiao smiled: "I'm ashamed to say that Qiu Lin didn't invite me, I came here for something, and I happened to meet Yu'er's first birthday ceremony, so I stayed cheekily." ”

Zheng Yang saw that Wen Qixiao could enter the inner courtyard, and it seemed that Qiu Lin already regarded him as his own, so he said: "It's all my own people, so I don't need to see him like this." ”

King Wei asked curiously, "I wonder if Brother Wen is here for business or private affairs this time?" ”

Wen Qixiao was also very frank, and said clearly: "I came here to send birthday cards to my father's Wanshou Festival, and my father wants to invite Qiu Lin to participate in his Wanshou Festival this year." ”

After a pause, he turned to look at the emperor of Shan Li Kingdom, the second brother of Qiu Lin, and said, "Your Majesty! This time, I will be responsible for the affairs of the envoys of the Shan Li Kingdom and the Cloud Pavilion for the reception of the Shan Li Kingdom, I wonder who will be sent to your country? ”

The emperor did not hide it, and replied: "I have sent the king of Wei and the king of Zhenhe to take the lead in sending an envoy, and the king of Wei is fully responsible for all matters of this envoy. Originally, I also wanted to send the idle king to go, but since you have invited the Cloud Mist Pavilion Master to go, then I will no longer arrange her here, and she will go on her own behalf. ”

Wen Qixiao said again: "Qiu Lin, he hasn't given me an accurate answer yet, whether he is going or not." It may be a few days before it ......."

"I think I hear someone talking about me! Is someone saying bad things about me? At this moment, the sound of autumn showers came from the door, and then the slender and slender figure stepped into the house.

She was holding Yu'er in her arms, followed by Meng Xi, who was also holding the child, and then four young women.

Zheng Yang laughed and said: "Who dares to say bad things about you, it's too late to say good things!" ”

After entering the house, Yu'er saw the Queen Mother sitting on the main seat at a glance, and was so happy that she couldn't see her teeth and eyes, and she called "mother-in-law" in her mouth, struggling to find his mother-in-law.

The queen mother has not seen Yu'er's little baby for a long time, and when she sees him, her heart is so crisp that she can't do it, so she took the little guy sent by Qiu Lin and kissed the little face, and played with the queen to tease the little guy.

The dinner here tonight is a family banquet, without the identity of the monarch and minister, only the elders and juniors, brothers and younger brothers and sisters, so the queen mother sits on the main seat as the most respected elder, and the other positions are seated according to the order of the elder and youngest.

Before Wen Qixiao came in, everyone else had already sat down in their order, and after he came in, everyone stood up and didn't sit down again, and then Qiu Lin came in and saw that everyone hadn't taken their seats yet, and asked, "Why don't you all sit yet?" Are you waiting for me? ”

The emperor said: "This is your favorite hot pot, of course we have to wait for you to eat together." He looked at the door and saw that no one came in again, and asked, "What about Su Yun and them?" ”

Qiu Lin belongs to the eldest in this royal family, and her position is at the end, she walked to the edge of her position, and did not forget to pull Wen Qixiao over and sit next to her, and replied after she also took a seat: "There are guests outside who need to entertain, Su Yun and Li Yi are all there to greet the guests, let's eat tonight." ”

Then he picked up the chopsticks and put some vegetables into the copper hot pot, and said, "Hurry up, let's go!" I'm starving! ”

The large round table is full of all kinds of dishes, including meat and vegetarian, as well as cold dishes, pastries and fruit plates, a large copper hot pot is placed in the center of the table, the carbon fire in the pot has already been lit, the water in the pot is gurgling and boiling, and the room is filled with this very fragrant smell, which keeps seducing people's taste buds, and unconsciously saliva is swirling in the mouth......

Wen Qixiao had never seen what hot pot was, let alone eaten it.

Just now, his attention was on the people in the room, and he thought that the smell of the room was already on the table, but he didn't notice what dishes were on the table.

At this time, after being placed and seated by Qiu Lin, I noticed that the dishes on this table were basically raw, except for cold dishes, which could be eaten directly, and the other dishes were washed and directly put on the table.

I have seen a thing or two of Qiu Lin's strange ways to eat, and Wen Qixiao is not so surprised by this, but he is more curious about what kind of way to eat this hot pot.

Everyone else stopped talking nonsense, and picked up their current dishes and put them in the hot pot, waiting for the dishes to be cooked.

Qiu Lin picked up a bowl of sesame sauce, added some condiments to it, mixed it, and then put it in front of Wen Qixiao, and asked, "I ate hot pot tonight, Brother Qi Xiao, have you ever eaten hot pot?" ”

Wen Qixiao looked at the copper hot pot and said truthfully: "I've never seen it!" ”

Qiu was stunned, nodded and said, "It's normal that I haven't seen it!" This is a novel way of eating developed by my Cloud Pavilion, at present, we have opened more hot pot restaurants in Shan Li Kingdom, and there are a few in other countries, and you have not opened Yasukuni yet, and you can eat it often when it is opened in the future. ”

Then he pointed to the dishes on the table and explained: "These dishes are all raw, and what dishes you want to eat need to be put in a copper pot and cooked before you can eat them."

This is sesame sauce, after brushing the dish and then dip it in this sesame sauce to eat, the taste is really amazing, especially delicious. You'll find out when you taste it! After speaking, he winked at Wen Qixiao.

Wen Qixiao was amused by her cute movements, and said, "What do you say, I'm really full of expectations, what kind of food is this?" Can make you like it like this. ”

Qiu Lin stood up, glanced at the dishes in the copper pot, pulled the long chopsticks, picked up the beef and mutton slices that he didn't know who put down, and put them in Wen Qixiao's bowl, signaling him to eat.

Wen Qixiao looked at Qiu Lin, and then looked at the people present, only to see that everyone was taking care of their own vegetables and taking vegetables and then dipping them in sesame sauce to eat, and he also followed their example and dipped in sesame sauce and sent it to his mouth.
