Yu Qian saw Yu Qingtan leave with a weak heart, and couldn't help but look at Ning Ling suspiciously, "Tan'er, what's wrong?" ”

"Girls' families, when they grow up, they will always have some of their own thoughts." Ning Ling was still immersed in the words that Yu Qingtan had just called her future sister-in-law, and her face was slightly hot.

Yu Qian was no longer entangled, and saw Ning Ling in a daze in a blink of an eye, and said loudly, "I said it today, I took you out, you are ready to prepare, I will wait for you." ”

Ning Ling nodded slightly, and after dressing up, she put on a light blue skirt given to her by Yu Qian.

When Yu Qian saw it, his eyes were slightly surprised, and he said for a while: "This dress looks good on you."

"Thank you General Yu for your appreciation." Ning Ling lowered his head shyly.

……

Recently, Yu Qingtan counted his fingers, thinking that his father should be back in a few days, but he didn't know the movement of the court at this time.

It seems that there has been no movement on His Majesty's side.

Yu Qingtan was thinking about it while preparing to go to the study to practice calligraphy as usual, but Steward Chen stopped Yu Qingtan halfway through, and reported with a nervous expression: "Miss, Yongchang is waiting to come to the mansion, saying that you invited him to the mansion for dinner."

"Huh?" Yu Qingtan had long forgotten about it, and only thought that it was Qiao Yu's joke with her that day, but she didn't think that he was really here......

After a while, Yu Qingtan returned to his senses and said: "I know, you arrange for Hou Ye to wait in the flower hall, and I will come over later."

"You don't owe that Yongchang Hou silver again, do you?" Steward Chen finally couldn't help but ask worriedly.

There is not much silver left in this Taifu Mansion to squander, and if Master Taifu comes back and blames him, he will be deducted again......

Yu Qingtan saw that Steward Chen looked nervous, and couldn't help but comfort: "Today, Master Hou is just here to be a guest in our house, so Steward Chen doesn't have to worry."

Steward Chen touched his chest: "That's good, that's good!"

After Steward Chen left, Yu Qingtan changed his clothes and rushed to the flower hall.

After seeing Qiao Yu, Kan'er, who was inquiring about the news, quietly slipped to Xiaoqin Courtyard and brought the news to Yu Lan'er.

Yu Lan'er hurriedly instructed Chunyou to dress up for her.

Qiao Yu stood on the left and looked at the right in the flower hall, and felt that the Taifu Mansion was not unusual, the furnishings were simple, except for the tea set, all the furnishings and utensils could be described as ordinary.

Qiao Yu couldn't help but think of the old fox who was aggressive and calculating in the court all day long, and couldn't help but exclaim: "The old fox really has a boring life!"

When the words fell, I saw Qingtan walking towards the flower hall with a graceful posture.

Today she wore a azure placket skirt, her expression was quiet, the hair scattered behind her ears on both sides was decorated with a string of slender glass beads, the golden steps between the buns were shining in the sun, her eyes were bright and thorough, after seeing Qiao Yu, Yu Qingtan bowed to Qiao Yu slightly, "The courtiers have seen the Hou Ye, let the Hou Ye wait for a long time." ”

"It's okay, I didn't have to wait long." The moment he saw Yu Qingtan, Qiao Yu was still in a good mood.

In addition to her mouth and height, Yu Qingtan's appearance should have followed her mother.

Seeing Qiao Yu's gaze on her face, Yu Qingtan was a little nervous in her heart, "Master Hou is interested in visiting the small garden in our house?" ”

Yu Qingtan wanted to use his words to divert Qiao Yu's attention.

Qiao Yufeng's eyes rolled slightly, "Well, then let's take Benhou around." ”

Seeing Mu Mu behind Qiao Yu, Liu Ying couldn't help but glare, Mu Mu blinked innocently and smiled at her.

Unexpectedly, the little girl turned into a Bengali glaring at him, made a grimace at him and turned her head, not looking at him again.

Qiao Yu suddenly remembered something, turned his head sideways and said to Qing Tan: "Today I was free, and I didn't send someone to pass the word, but it was a little abrupt." With that, he turned around and motioned for Mu Mu to take out the gift.

Then he pointed to the gilded red sandalwood box in Mu Mu's hand and said: "This is a set of jewelry that Ben Hou picked, and Ben Hou doesn't need it, so it should be regarded as a gift for today's abrupt gift."

"It is the honor of the courtiers to come as a guest, why do you still bring gifts, this courtiers can't accept them." Yu Qingtan glanced at the box containing jewelry, the workmanship was exquisite, and the driftwood carvings on it were lifelike, I am afraid that the value of the things in the box should be quite high.

Qiao Yu waved his wide sleeves, and his crimson robe was even more bright and bright in the sun, "It's okay, there is no reason to return this gift, you can accept it." ”

Yu Qingtan had never seen a man wearing such a bright brocade robe, the first few times he saw him, he was wearing a red robe, but today's crimson clothes are more graceful, and it also makes Qiao Yu's originally impeccable face more charming and gorgeous.

"Then the courtiers thank the marquis for the gift."

Qiao Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "The plum you gave Ben Hou two days ago is very good-looking, Ben Hou is very happy."

"It's good if Master Hou likes it." Yu Qingtan was a little happy in his heart.

Yu Qingtan took Qiao Yu to visit the back garden, and Yu Qingtan opened up a piece of land in the garden and let people plant some golden hairpin grass.

"Isn't this a dandelion flower?" Qiao Yu pointed to the tunnel.

Yu Qingtan nodded, "Well, this is also called golden hairpin grass, and this leaf and root can be used as medicine." It is a good medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, disinfecting and dispersing knots, and can also beautify and nourish the skin. On weekdays, I use it to mourn with hot water, and eat it cold, the taste is slightly bitter, but most of them are dried and soaked in water for my father, and my father's body can't stand too greasy food, so I can use this soaking water to drink if I usually eat greasy. ”

"So it still has this effect?" Qiao Yu couldn't help but look at Yu Qingtan a few times in surprise, this girl knows a lot and is quite filial.

Yu Qingtan smiled lightly, "It's all from the book." ”

"You know a lot, old fox...... Cough... Your father has a daughter like you, which is a blessing from the previous life. Qiao Yu narrowed his narrow eyes and looked at her with a smile.

Yu Qingtan shook his head and chuckled: "It's nothing, the courtiers all learned it from books."

When the words fell, Yu Qingtan seemed to think of something, and said: "If Hou Ye is interested, I will get some for Hou Ye to taste later, but the taste is a little bitter."

Qiao Yu shook his head, "Forget it, I like to eat sweets." ”

"Well, after accompanying Hou Ye to visit the garden, I will personally cook and prepare lunch for Hou Ye."

Seeing that Yu Qingtan took his words that day to heart, Qiao Yu nodded happily: "I'll go with you."

"The stove is not clean, and it will inevitably rub some dust, so Master Hou should take a break in the flower hall."

Qiao Yu thought about it, and was still very curious about how this petite and talented woman in front of her cooked.

In his image, the average lady is not good at cooking, not even a girl like this who is sought after and held on the tip of her heart, he really can't imagine the appearance of the woman in front of him in the stove.

"I still want to see it." Qiao Yu's curiosity was hooked by Yu Qingtan.

Yu Qingtan said helplessly: "Then Master Hou will go with me."

Yu Lan'er came to the garden in a hurry, but saw that the two were not there, and let people inquire again only to find out that the two went to the kitchen.

On weekdays, Yu Qingtan likes to retire from the maid and do it alone, and the same is true today.

Seeing this, Qiao Yu also asked Mu Mu to wait outside the kitchen.

Qiao Yu followed behind Yu Qingtan, watching her wash vegetables, cut vegetables, wash pots, and make fires, all the processes were in order, and the small azure figure shuttled between the kitchens, which made Qiao Yu think of the word virtuous for the first time, and had a strange idea of wanting to marry a wife.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Yu Qingtan's face, and she was really not very good at the errand of making a fire.

"Need help?"

It seemed that Yu Qingtan was a little struggling, and Qiao Yu asked without thinking.

Yu Qingtan glanced at Qiao Yu, and then shook his head, "Master Hou's clothes are expensive, don't let the clothes lick the ashes." ”

"It's just a piece of clothing." Qiao Yu said a roll of brocade robes and walked up to Yu Qingtan.

Yu Qingtan had no choice but to give up his position, and felt that the scene at this time was a little weird, and above the court, the minister who made everyone smell the cold was sitting on the stove in brocade clothes at this time to make a fire.

This picture sense, how to look at it, how weird.

Standing on the picture screen outside the kitchen, looking at the two busy figures in the kitchen, I couldn't help but think of what happened in the restaurant last time, and couldn't help but say to Liuying: "You say...... Isn't it strange that Miss and Hou Ye are two? ”

"What's so strange?" Hotaru glanced at the kitchen.

The painting screen rolled his eyes, "Last time I was in the restaurant, I saw the two of them as if they were ordinary people...... Blind date, looking at it again today, I feel like the two of them are looking at each other, as if they are in further contact. ”

"When you say that, it really looks like that." Hotaru winked and covered her mouth and chuckled.

Picture screen hesitated: "It's just...... I noticed that the two didn't seem to know yet. ”

"Our young lady is a slow person, and she usually studies books, so I'm afraid she doesn't think so much, as for the ...... of the Marquis of Yongchang," she said, Liu Ying glanced at Mu Mu, who was leaning in front of her, and continued: "I have won the favor of our young lady, and I don't know it, so the two of them get along so naturally."

"What are you talking about?" Mu Mu leaned over and asked.

Hotaru snorted and ignored him.

Mu Mu touched his nose: "Xiao Liuying~ Even if you hate me, you won't have such an angry look every time you see me......"

Liuying said angrily: "You have cheated my young lady for so much silver, are you embarrassed to ask me?"

"It's not like you don't know each other."

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Hotaru turned.

Mu Mu stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Ying's sleeve, "Don't worry, our lord will return the silver to your young lady." ”

"How do you know?" Rogue didn't believe it.

Mu Mu grinned, "Our marquis, I know it." ”

When Yu Lan'er rushed to the kitchen with a white pomegranate skirt dragging the floor, she saw the two talking and laughing very harmoniously.

What shocked her was that Qiao Yu actually lit a fire in the stove.

In the kitchen, Qiao Yu quickly lit the fire, and he kept sitting behind the stove to feed the fire.

"Master Hou is very powerful in making fire!" Yu Qingtan couldn't help but praise.

Qiao Yu hooked his lips and smiled, his eyes were delicate: "It's nothing, I learned it when I lived alone before."

Yu Qingtan had also heard that Qiao Yu's family had been killed by rogues since he was a child, and he probably suffered a lot after losing his parents.

"I'm sorry, I mentioned the past, which made Hou Ye sad."

Qiao Yu shook his head disappreciatively, "It's okay, it's been so long." ”

Although Qiao Yu said it easily, Yu Qingtan could also imagine the various hardships of losing his parents and living alone, so he thought about changing the topic, "Hmm...... Hou Ye likes to eat sweet, I took out the glutinous rice sweet wine that dried a few days ago, accompanied it with pearl rice balls, and cooked a cup of pearl glutinous rice sweet soup. ”

"Well, Ben Hou likes to eat glutinous rice liqueur." Qiao Yu nodded with satisfaction.
