Chapter 39: Li Dongyang's Birthday
Zhang Yue raised his head suddenly, "Senior brother, have you guessed what I want to ask?" ”
Li Dongyang said calmly, "I heard Mu Bin say today that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inspected the Qin Heavenly Prison, and you came back with a depressed look, and you stopped talking a few times during dinner, and I guessed that you knew the true identity of His Royal Highness." ”
"Senior brother, Rumo is really the prince of the dynasty! He.. Why did he keep hiding it from me! ”
Li Dongyang looked at Zhang Yue's eyes and sighed, "Xiao Wu, Your Highness is such a smart and wise person, he must have done this because he didn't want the identity of the prince to become an obstacle for you to make friends." ”
Zhang Yue's long eyelashes flickered, and he said in a depressed mood, "The master has already told me that Rumo's background is not simple, let me not have anything to do with this person, Yuan Mo also said, I didn't think about it before, I thought Rumo... Ji Gongzi is at most the son of an official eunuch, how deep his background can he be, he doesn't want to be a member of the royal family, or be such a noble prince of the court. In this way, could it be that the master already knew his identity? ”
Li Dongyang raised his head slightly, his eyes were deep, and said, "Teacher, his old man is unfathomable, what can I hide from his eyes in the world." He must have known about it. ”
"Now I know Rumo... That Ji Gongzi is the crown prince of the dynasty, and his identity is so different from me, should I listen to my master and not be friends with the prince? ”
Li Dongyang pursed his lips, sighed lightly, and looked at Zhang Yue gently, "Little Wu, senior brother can't help you make a decision, although the teacher has advised, whether to continue to be friends with this person, whether this person is worth being your friend or not, or you should decide for yourself." ”
Zhang Yue muttered, "Of course, the people of Rumo are excellent, but... But I have to listen to the master..."
Li Dongyang opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but after all, he didn't say anything, he watched Zhang Yue leave the study with a loss, and sighed silently.
The ground motion instrument was finally installed, Zhou Hongmo heard the news, and immediately came to Qintian to inspect the results, Zhou Shangshu was very happy, and announced in public that the ground motion instrument had officially entered the test stage, and the relevant personnel did not have to work so hard to catch up. Yang, Ma and others cheered and moved back to their homes, but Zhang Yue did not move back to the Li Mansion, let alone Zhang Zhai's own home, but continued to live with Xiaotong in the official residence given by Qin Tianjian.
Zhang Yue didn't make up her mind not to have a relationship with Ji Rumo anymore, but she didn't think about it herself, or because she didn't think about what to do, she didn't know how to deal with Ji Rumo when she went back to Li Mansion. So she simply stayed in Qin Tianjian for the time being. Li Dongyang and Liu sent her family to ask her to go back, but Zhang Yue made excuses and resigned.
Qin Tianjian was not as lively as when he was rushing to meet the construction deadline before, it was cold and deserted, and Zhang Yue's heart was empty.
On this day, Zhang Yue was cooking in a casserole in Qin Tianjian's own official residence, and the Liu family of the Li Mansion sent a family member over.
Zhang Yue let people into the house, the family Ding is Li Dongyang's personal servant named Li San, he saw Zhang Yue said with a smile on his face, "Little Fifth Master, our adults are born today, and Mrs. specially asked me to inform you to go back to the house in the evening to have dinner together." ”
Zhang Yue patted his head, only to think that today was his senior brother's birthday, and he forgot about it, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, are they all from the mansion at night?" ”
Li San said, "Well, they are all from the house, oh, by the way, except for Ji Rumo, who often interacts with adults." I heard that Mrs. said that it was because Ji Gongzi also participated, so tonight's meal was particularly high. The kitchen is busy. ”
"Eh...,I suddenly remembered that Lord Supervisor had arranged an important task for me today.,I'm afraid I won't be able to go back at night.,That... I'll make amends to my brother when I go back. ”
Li San was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and muttered, "Oh, that's a pity, Mrs. made the Buddha jump over the wall tonight, it is said that it was stewed for 8 hours with a simmer, and the ingredients were added, and Mrs. also personally made duck tongue stewed golden soup and eight-treasure cinnamon fish..."
"Oh...... the official affairs entrusted by the supervisor are important, but they are not as important as the birthday of the senior brother, then, I will definitely attend the family banquet in the evening. It's just that I might go a little late, so please tell my brother, you don't have to wait for me. The sister-in-law's dishes can be left with me. ”
Li San secretly thought in his heart, the adults of his family are really like gods, and taught him to say this, Zhang Gongzi really agreed to go back to the house for dinner, "Yes, the villain will go back to the adults first." ”
After the family left, Zhang Yue secretly thought to herself, there were so many delicacies in the evening, the opportunity was really rare, although she didn't dare to see someone for the time being, but as long as she went back later, that person would definitely have left the table as a guest, and she would definitely not bump into her. Zhang Yue made up her mind about this.
Today's Li Mansion is particularly jubilant, because it is the thirty-fifth birthday of the host Li Dongyang, and Mrs. Liu has prepared many delicious dishes at the banquet, but Li Dongyang does not dare to laugh, because there is a special guest sitting in the most prestigious seat of the banquet today - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Youjiao.
Zhu Youzhu today condescended to participate in the birthday banquet of the ministers of the East Palace, although he was wearing civilian clothes, only brought Mu Bin alone, but it was also a great honor for his subordinates, Li Dongyang was naturally very moved, and it was inconvenient to reveal Zhu Youzhang's true identity in front of his family, so he had to toast Zhu Youzhu many times. However, Li Dongyang always felt that Zhu Youzhu seemed to be a little absent-minded today. The banquet has reached the late stage, and almost all the people in the banquet don't move their chopsticks much, and the reason why the banquet is not dispersed is just because Zhu Youzhu didn't move.
Liu didn't know why her husband respected that "Ji Gongzi" so much, and he didn't dare to disperse privately, so he had to find some topics, "Dongyang, the time is over, why hasn't Xiao Wu come back yet?" Didn't you send someone to inform her today? ”
When Zhu Youzhu heard Xiao Wu's name, his handsome eyebrows raised slightly, and Li Dongyang replied, "Yes, Li San reported that Xiao Wu agreed, but the official office may have to come back later." ”
Liu said, "Isn't the errand of the official office over?" Why do you have to work overtime? This job is too hard, I feel distressed, you are a senior brother and don't help her, Xiao Wu is a girl in the end, she will marry in the future, this job is almost not let her do it. ”
A trace of complicated emotions flashed in Zhu Youzhang's eyes, and Li Dongyang glanced at Zhu Youzhang, "Well, I have my own measure." Then he gave Liu a look and motioned for her not to say more. Liu immediately shut up after comprehending it.
At this time, Zhu Youzhu said slowly, "Dongyang, it's getting late, everyone is already happy, and I can't bother anymore." After speaking, he slowly stood up,
Li Dongyang immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Yes, Dongyang sent Ji Gongzi." ”
Zhu Youzhu nodded, and accompanied by Mu Bin and Li Dongyang, walked outside the mansion.
When the three of them walked to the gate of the mansion, they were bumping into a person who came in a hurry from outside the mansion, the man stumbled into the door of the mansion and saw the three of them, a pair of smart and beautiful big eyes turned around the three of them, and finally landed on Zhu Youjiao, stunned there, speechless for a while.
The person who came was Zhang Yue, Li Dongyang saw Zhang Yue looking at Zhu Youzhu in a daze, and Zhu Youjiao, who had been absent-minded all night, seemed to have a little glow at this time, and a strange feeling came to Li's heart again, and an idea actually passed through Li's mind quickly, and he stabilized his mind, "Xiao Wu, why are you only coming back now?" ”
Zhang Yuezheng looked at Zhu Youzhu stunned, and was asked by his senior brother, so he quickly retracted his gaze and turned his head, "I'm sorry, senior brother, Qin Tianjian has an errand today, so I came back late, but I haven't forgotten your birthday," she said as she took out a delicate purple clay pot from her arms and handed it to Li Dongyang, "Here you are, birthday gift." Your favorite square pot. ”
Li Dongyang took the purple clay pot quite unexpectedly, this junior sister seemed confused, but in fact she was the most intimate, and her heart was warm, "Well-you don't want to give it quickly-cough!" Ji Gongzi sees the ceremony? ”
Zhang Yue lowered his head, and made a rare salute, this salute bent nearly ninety degrees, "Little five, see Ji Gongzi." ”
Zhang Yue felt a burning gaze staring at him tightly, Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhang Yue's formal salute, was silent for a while, and whispered, "No need to be polite." Zhang Yue didn't look up, straightened up, stepped aside and said to Li Dongyang, "Senior brother, I'm going to look for my sister-in-law in the back." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Li Dongyang to speak, he didn't look at the others, and trotted into the mansion.
When I arrived at the back house, I found Liu, Liu picked out the food left for Zhang Yue and Zhang Yue's favorite food, in the past, Liu made delicious things, Zhang Yue was happily chatting, and today when he was eating food, he was surprisingly silent, Liu thought that he was tired from working in Qintianjian, and he tried his best to pick up vegetables for Zhang Yue. After a while, Li Dongyang sent the guests back, and didn't say anything, but just glanced at Zhang Yue meaningfully. That night, Zhang Yue stayed in Li's Mansion.
