Chapter 543: Birthday
On the third pole of the sun, Xiao Changge sat in the carriage, holding the dog's tail grass in his hand, and looked at the man behind him from time to time.
Liu Zixun thought it was interesting to see Xiao Changge's boring appearance, Xiao Changge had done everything properly when he was his personal maid, so that he had no fire to start, so that he could not see her disappointed appearance.
Now letting him see this scene is more interesting than watching him sing on stage.
"Young master, when will this carriage arrive in Beijing?"
Xiao Changge glanced at the donkey pulling the cart in front of him, there are horses that do not hire donkeys, Liu Zixun deliberately made her ugly.
"When it's resting enough, it'll go fast."
Liu Zixun said unhurriedly, and Xiao Changge smiled lightly.
They went on the road before the sun rose, and now they have walked a few miles at most, at this speed, even if the sun sets, they can't get to the capital, Liu Zixun deliberately teased her, and she can't use this incident as a joke.
The future of Liu Guo can be in Liu Zixun's hands, as soon as the sun sets, the dinner party will start, if Liu Zixun really wants to marry Chu Yongshuo, he should not come at this time.
His attitude made Xiao Changge suspicious.
"Is the young master sure that he will catch the banquet at sunset?"
Xiao Changge asked bluntly, Liu Zixun squinted his eyes and smiled: "My son is not an immortal, this speed can't be caught up even in two days, but my son can understand that Yongshuo will live in the palace for about a month this time, which means that this son doesn't need to worry, it's a bit nonsense to determine who can become a concubine just by a banquet." ”
Liu Zixun smiled innocently, looking at the landscape outside, and even felt a little happier.
He hadn't been so leisurely for a long time, and this time he came to Chu Country as a sightseeing tour.
Since Yongshuo still has a month, what is he anxious about?
"It seems that the young master has his own ideas."
Xiao Changge chuckled, Liu Zixun was right to say this, it was not appropriate to meet Yongshuo at this time.
If it's late, it's better.
"So in the past few days, my son will take you on a tour of the mountains and rivers, and as soon as you enter the capital, there will definitely be some action on the side of the prince's mansion."
Liu Zixun's expression was solemn, not a question but an affirmation.
"Young master is so confident?"
Xiao Changge chuckled and asked as if he didn't believe it.
She has known Chu Yu for half a year, and she has said that Chu Yu is the same kind of person as her, and she only knows a rough idea of the forces behind Chu Yu, but when she heard Liu Zixun say this, it seems that he knows Chu Yu very well.
"Yes, this young master can give you a piece of advice, don't underestimate your family, that person is deeply hidden."
Liu Zixun reminded, Xiao Changge nodded but put on a curious look.
"Don't look at me with such eyes, I don't know the specifics, but you have to beware of this person."
Liu Zixun avoided his gaze, he didn't think that Xiao Changge could switch his expression freely in an instant, obviously he was talking to him seriously and seriously in the last second, but in the blink of an eye, he became innocent again.
If it was the first time I met her, I would definitely be deceived by her eyes.
"Thank you young master for reminding me, I'll be careful."
Chu Yu is unfathomable, she knows it, just look at Wei She knows, but until now she can't find out how much Chu Yu has the background.
Even Liu Zixun knows that Chu Yu is not simple, and it seems that Chu Yu also has people in Liu State.
There are people in Yan and Liu, but what about other countries?
If there were his people everywhere, then she would be impressed by Chu Yu.
"Since the young master is not in a hurry, then it is useless for me to be a maid in a hurry, rather than this, why don't you go all the way back?"
Xiao Changge raised his eyebrows, seemingly asking, but in fact he was proud.
She didn't want to rush around, and she was still injured, so she shouldn't be bumped.
Liu Zixun originally wanted to make Xiao Changge anxious, but he didn't expect Xiao Changge to be more leisurely than him in the blink of an eye.
"Good mountains, good water, good scenery, I haven't enjoyed it for a long time."
Xiao Changge stretched his waist, and when the passers-by saw the donkey pulling people, they couldn't help but look at the two people sitting outside the carriage, thinking about what kind of person they would be sitting inside, but they never thought that the carriage was empty.
"Hmph."
Liu Zixun snorted awkwardly, and his personality was like a child.
"Don't say it's you, even I've rarely seen such a scene."
"Liu Guoxiao, walking around is only a few cities, and even the land is a little desolate."
Liu Guoju is in the north, the north is drought, it does not rain all year round, and the terrain is not good.
Because of this, Liu Guo is not as good as Chu, Yan, Zhao, and Qi.
The terrain is not good, and if you want to move to the south, it is the land of Yan to the south, and if you move, Yan will have to find an excuse.
It was because they were too passive that they didn't dare to move, but Yan Guo didn't dare to swallow Liu Guo, because they had to rely on Liu Guo's stone mines.
Liu Guo is a special existence, saying that he is poor, and relying on mines, saying that he is rich, and only a few cities.
The two were silent, as if they had a heart.
Xiao Changge understands that Liu Guo's current situation is not much better.
That's why he needs the help of Chu State, so Liu Zixun must marry Chu Yongshuo.
Even if he doesn't like it, he wants to marry.
The Prince's Mansion
Today is not only the day of Yongshuo's return to Beijing, but also Chu Yu's birthday.
Last year, there were several ministers who gave gifts, but this year, Yongshuo returned to Beijing, and the limelight overshadowed everything, and those people ran to befriend Yongshuo.
"Who cooked this noodle?"
Chu Yu raised his eyebrows, his expression a little colder.
Looking at the longevity noodles in front of him and the two red eggs, he knew that they were born for him at a glance.
He had no choice but to accept gifts from people outside, but people in the house knew that he was not a birthday.
Especially Xu Fu, he should have told them a long time ago, how could someone still give him longevity noodles.
"Xu Fu."
As soon as Chu Yu shouted, Xu Fu immediately ran in from outside the house, still holding scissors in his hand and a flower branch in the other.
"Lord Wang, what's wrong?"
Xu Fu rushed in, walking like flying.
Seeing that Chu Yu's expression was a little ugly, he could see what was going on when he looked at the face on the table.
His expression changed, and he could only say: "This ......"
"Xu Fu, the older you get, the more confused you become."
"Lord Wang, this... I clearly told the kitchen not to make noodles, how... How can anyone make longevity noodles without permission? ”
Xu Fu's face is not very good-looking, Chu Yu only knows about his birthday, how can anyone still make such a thing!
"Come on, come on, go and call the cook."
Xu Fu took a few steps outside and shouted at the people outside.
When the men heard this, they hurried to the kitchen.
After a while, the cook was panting, and her hands were still wet.
"Who did this, this, this! You should know what day it is, and you also know that the prince is only his birthday, how can you be so confused! ”
Xu Fu saw that Chu Yu's face was not good-looking, and pointed at the cook lady and said angrily.
It's okay to make other mistakes, but I didn't want to make such low-level mistakes.
"It's not a villain to do it, it's red... The red-sleeved girl made it. ”
"Red Sleeves?"
Chu Yu and Xu Fu said in unison, and the cook nodded like pounding garlic.
"Yes, Red Sleeves came to the kitchen early in the morning, and then said that she would just send it over for breakfast today, and the villain didn't think much about it for a while, so he ......"
The cook said wrongly, she had known that she would definitely not let Red Sleeves send it over.
"Lord, the girl with the red sleeves has just entered the palace with the princess, and she doesn't know the rules of the house, so she should be forgiven, not to mention that the red sleeves have experienced those things before, the old slave thinks... There should be no punishment. ”
Before Chu Yu could speak, Xu Fu had already pleaded for Red Sleeves.
Even he, the old man, felt distressed about the matter of the red sleeves, and the red sleeves finally came out these days, and slowly became as optimistic as before, and asked Chu Yuzhen to scold her, for fear that she would be autistic.
"When did the king say he was going to blame her?"
"Remove the noodles and change the bowl of porridge."
Chu Yu's face was expressionless, and with a wave of his hand, the cook didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly brought the noodles out.
"Wait."
Just a few steps away, Chu Yu shouted.
"If Red Sleeves asks, you will say that this king has eaten the noodles, and you can't waste any thoughts."
The cook nodded with a sigh and left immediately with the noodles.
Xu Fu covered his mouth and snickered, his expression became strange, and he squeezed his eyebrows at Chu Yu and fell into a joke.
"Lord Wang, you look at the red-sleeved girl is not bad, when this matter is over, can you consider taking a concubine?"
The prince's mansion has two and one concubine, which is the least compared to others, and now Xiao Changge's whereabouts are unknown, the corpse cannot be found, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.
Bai Ling'er and Chu Yu had a round room early, but there was no news in their stomachs so far.
He had already considered taking a few more rooms for Chu Yu.
Although the red sleeves are not clean, but serving people is dedicated, and if you can't be a concubine, it should be no problem to be a warm housemaid.
Now that Xiao Changge is not here, Chu Yu should also take care of the maids in her room for her.
Chu Yu's expression was a little colder, and he swept towards Xu Fu a little colder.
"Xu Fu, have you been too idle lately? Even these things have started to work? ”
Chu Yu said coldly, Xu Fu lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.
"The old slave is just thinking about the master, and the prince must not be childless."
Xu Fu said with a serious face, he is old, and he should go back to the countryside to retire in a few years, the only thing he wants is to see that Chu Yu has a child.
Now that Xiao Changge is gone, he can't let Chu Yu find it for a lifetime, right?
How many days have passed, Emperor Chu has ordered Chu Yu to withdraw his subordinates, and Chu Yu is still secretly looking for it, but he still does not give up.
He didn't stop Bai Ling'er from coming these days, and let her pester Chu Yu, just to let Chu Yu transfer his mind to Bai Ling'er.
didn't think that Chu Yu still refused to give up Xiao Changge.
He had no choice but to let Red Sleeves get close to Chu Yu.
I heard that Chu Yu also helped Bai Ling'er last time, which can prove that his master also values Red Sleeves.
Even a woman in a Qinglou can be a concubine, and he doesn't mind a maid who has lost her body.
For him, there is no difference between the two.
Where can the people who come out of that part of the Qinglou be clean?
If it weren't for Chu Yu's insistence, he wouldn't have let Bai Ling'er enter this door.
"If you speak these things nonsense, the king will cut out your tongue."
Chu Yu's eyes were sharp, serious and serious, not joking,
Xu Fu's body trembled, and even his back was a little cold.
With a shocked face, he couldn't believe that this was what Chu Yu said.
However, from Chu Yu's mouth, he believed that Chu Yu could do it.
Chu Yu wasn't joking......
"Bring the king's clothes, it's time to enter the palace, don't let those old foxes wait too long."
Chu Yu got up and threw his sleeves.
Xu Fu slowly came back to his senses and responded softly: "Yes." ”
