The two people in the academy ate wild vegetables with the smell of meat, and they always felt that this was a delicacy in the world.

And the head of the house in the Qian Mansion, Qian Lian, who always holds a small jade abacus, feels that the brightly colored food in front of him has no appetite at all.

"Second brother should always eat something, otherwise you will be hungry."

Yes, Qian Lian hasn't eaten for a long time, it's not that he misses Qian Duo, at least his life is better after Qian Duo is gone.

But that was before Qian Duo was found out and went to Chang'an, and what he said to Su Ru was that Qian Duo had committed something and went to hide somewhere else.

But if she didn't come back during the Chinese New Year, Su Ru was also suspicious and began to question herself, asking where Qian Duo went.

Of course, now Qian Lian is still thinking about whether it is better to tell Su Ru or not.

"Alas, there are always some things I can't eat, and I miss a lot."

Of course, the specific thing is to miss Qian more, only Qian Lian knows it in his heart.

"I envy you."

Qian Duo looked at the money shame that comforted him, and let out an exclamation.

"What does the second brother envy me?"

Qian Yan was a little confused, but looking at his second brother's eyes, it didn't seem like he was lying.

"Alas, I envy you for living your life so peacefully."

After Qian Lian finished speaking, he didn't care about Qian Xian, who hadn't understood yet, and walked back home by himself.

"Someone from Northern Qi is here."

Su Ru was not in the house, and Qian Ming was holding a wine jug as if waiting for Qian Lian.

When Qian Duo opened the door and came in, Qian Ming suddenly said.

"It's coming, it's coming, what can it be? Is he coming to Gyeongju? Or is he going to fight Chang'an? That couldn't be better. ”

Qian Lian didn't have much affection for Northern Qi, and his father's death had little to do with Northern Qi.

If there is a chance, Qian Lian will never let go of this country that is full of superficial gentlemen.

"Oh, you're right, I heard that there is no harvest this winter, and now the people are at the border, and if the city is broken, you will have to go to Chang'an."

Qian Ming took a sip of wine and said to Qian Lian.

"Chang'an, it's too far away from Gyeongju, it's a pity."

Qian Lian sighed with some pity, as if these people didn't come to fight Gyeongju, Qian Lian lost a lot.

"Isn't your son in Chang'an? You're not worried? ”

Qian Ming asked casually.

"Oh, I almost forgot, isn't it all the same everywhere? There is still an emperor in Chang'an, as long as the emperor is still in Chang'an for a day, Chang'an City will not be broken for a day. ”

Qian Lian is still very confident in these, after all, the Tang Dynasty at this time is not the Song Dynasty of later generations, although he is on an expedition to Goguryeo, but a Northern Qi country, it is a bit of a fool's dream to want to hit Chang'an.

Qian Ming also knew that there was still a academy in Chang'an. The people in Tsing Yi left, and there was still a man in white left in the academy, so it was no problem to keep Chang'an, or to say that it was okay to keep the money.

"Actually, you should let Su Ru know that Qian Duo went to Chang'an. After all, there is also her home. ”

Qian Ming looked at Qian Lian, who was still thinking about it in his hand, and said.

"Well, that stinky boy won't let me tell his mother. Alas, I had to clean him up when I came back. ”

The abacus in Qian Lian's hand was playing faster and faster, and Qian Ming knew that this was the performance of Qian Lian when he was lying.

"You didn't tell the Su family?"

Qian Lian shook his head, "Of course I did." ”

Of course, the abacus in hand is still playing and shows no signs of slowing down.

"I'll go back first."

Qian Ming got up, turned around and picked up the wine jug he brought again, and went out...

"What did Auntie say to you?"

The two women in the largest boudoir in the Xu Mansion were talking to each other.

"Auntie, I'm only fourteen years old."

The face of the person who was being asked by the grabbed hand turned a little red, and she looked down and did not dare to look at the woman who asked her question.

"Hey, fourteen years old is not young, and my aunt has already followed Xin'er and his father when she was your age."

The younger girl is called Gu Rui, and the older one who grabbed Gu Rui's wrist is called Pei Xinhui.

And Gu Rui originally came to Chang'an to play, but he didn't expect to play with himself.

There is also an emerald bracelet on his hand, I heard that it is the heirloom of the Xu family, and it is given to his daughter-in-law every time.

When Gu Rui came at that time, Pei Xinhui took out the bracelet and had to give it to herself, she thought it was a custom of the big family, but she didn't expect to put herself in.

"Mom"

Before anyone arrives, the voice comes first. It's just that Pei Xinhui's expression was a little unnatural when she heard this mother.

"Mom, I said that this is my friend, why are you still talking to Gu Rui."

I saw that the person who came was dressed in black, her hair was pinned by a wooden hairpin, and the two eyes looked at the woman in front of her with an embarrassed expression.

"Eh, I'm not here to see your friend, how is it to live in Xu's Mansion?"

Although his expression was a little embarrassed, he adjusted his expression in an instant.

"You can see that it's actually pretty good."

Xu Xin didn't dare to keep his mother here, if it took a long time, maybe he would have another daughter-in-law.

"I haven't honored my mother when I come back these days."

Xu Xin hurriedly wanted to take his mother out of this room, so as to save the two of them from embarrassing each other.

"Hey, I'm so miserable, I've been getting worse and worse lately, but you've been away from home. As a sister-in-law, you don't know how to leave a thought for your father. ”

If you say that the woman is made of water, it is not a lie at all.

Pei Xinhui, who was still talking to Gu Rui just now, suddenly seemed to have been wronged. The two eyes suddenly turned red. The voice also became pitiful.

"Mother, there are outsiders here, let's go out and talk, things are very complicated."

Xu Xin saw that his mother was about to cry, and he was a little at a loss.

"What's complicated, marriage is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of your parents, don't you even listen to your mother's words?"

Pei Xinhui is smart, if it weren't for the fact that Xu Jingzong had so many concubines, Mrs. Pei would not have been able to stabilize her position in this big house without wavering.

"Mother, let's come out and talk about it, okay?"

Xu Xin was afraid to say a few more words, and Gu Rui's father in the Eight Realms demolished his home. Although people can't beat 100,000 iron horses, it's no problem for people to demolish your home and run away.

"Are you using Xiaorui as an outsider?"

Pei Xinhui looked at her son and said.

"I really think of her as a friend."

Of course, Xu Yan can say that he doesn't like Pei Xinhui like this, and he is also afraid of her father in the Eight Realms.

If I get married in the future and make her unhappy, I will go back to sue her, and I am afraid that I will not be able to eat and walk away.

"Then why haven't I seen you bring back other friends since I was a child? But the first friend is a woman? ”

Xu Yan was speechless, no wonder his father always said that he wanted to be reasonable, to see what the truth was and what kind of person he was.

"Well, I suddenly had a little stomach ache. I'll go out to my mother first. ”

Xu Xin suddenly clutched his stomach, bent forward slightly, opened the door and ran out of the door.

Seeing her son go out, Pei Xinhui knew that she had won back one percent, and she had to hurry up on this family matter.

And Xu Xin went out and hurriedly ran to his house, took a few silver tickets of one hundred taels, and secretly ran over the wall to the east of the city. Silent in my heart

"Brother Qianduo, I'm looking for you."
