In the hall:

Qi Zhen picked up the porcelain bowl, and the milky white and tender crucian carp soup was scooped into the bowl by him spoonful by spoonful, stretched out his hand and handed it to Qi Yu, and said, "I drank so much wine last night, is my body uncomfortable today?" ”

"It's okay," Qi Yu replied while eating: "I still had a little headache when I got up in the morning, but now it's fine." ”

Qi Zhen looked at Qi Yu eating vegetables and his cheeks bulging a little funny: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you, be careful of choking." ”

"Get used to it." Qi Yu saw Qi Zhen put down the dishes and chopsticks, swallowed the contents in his mouth, and drank the fish soup again, before he said, "Fourth brother is full?" Just eat so much? ”

"Hmm."

"There's too little to eat, no wonder you're always in bad health." Qi Yu called Uncle Wu, and ordered a few plates of pastries to be placed in front of Qi Zhen: "Doesn't the fourth brother of this osmanthus cake like to eat it, eat a little more." ”

Qi Zhen nodded, picked up one of them and took a bite gently: "It's fragrant but not sweet, and it tastes good." ”

"Eat more if you like." Qi Yu looked at Qi Zhen chewing slowly and said, "Fourth brother, if you eat at this speed, you won't be able to grab food in the military tent." ”

Qi Zhen smiled and narrowed his eyes: "If everyone is like you now, the fourth brother will indeed have to open another small stove." ”

"No, no, no, I'm eating much slower now than before, but even when I'm the fastest, I can't grab the master and fourteen." Qi Yu thought of the way he used to grab food in the tent was a handful of bitter tears:

"When I eat with my master and Fourteen, I never dare to distract myself from drinking saliva or disturbing the soldiers around me, because as soon as I turn around, the food on the table is gone, and Fourteen's rice bucket eats more and is fast, and nine of my ten times I train hungry are thanks to him."

Qi Zhen imagined the three of them eating around the table, and couldn't help laughing.

Qi Yu saw Qi Zhen laughing, his eyes were bent into crescents, and the corners of his mouth were bent up, and he was hooked somewhere in his heart, and he laughed with him, and the two looked at each other and smiled happily, and they stopped for a while.

Qi Zhen smiled with a little stomach pain: "You have been in the military tent for a long time, will you be a little unaccustomed to being unaccustomed to no one when you go back to Beijing?" It's been half a month since I went back to Fourteen, but when will I be able to come back? ”

"According to the way it has been in previous years, it is estimated that it is the last few days, I heard that the master has also set off to return to Beijing, and the two of them are just on the way, and the fourteenth may meet the master first, and then come back together."

"Fourteen, as your shadow guard, has no distinction between master and servant with you, but once the shadow guard is selected, he will protect the master for life and never have a home again. Is it inappropriate for him to go back to visit his parents regularly every year? ”

Qi Yu heard this and replied: "There is nothing inappropriate about this, Fourteen said that it was my shadow guard, in fact, I grew up with him since I was a child, and I have long treated him like a brother." Besides, Fourteen is not a shadow, so he doesn't have to worry about exposing his identity to kill his parents, and it makes sense to go home to visit his parents. ”

"In that case, I will say something more." Qi Zhen smiled and asked: "Fourteen is not around, Shen Su Gongzi has returned to the master's gate, Xiao Jiu is bored in Beijing here?" ”

"It's some. When I first came back, I felt new and interesting to play around, but now every day is the last day and the school field point training, to be honest, I was not happy when I was at Yanmen Pass, at least there I could ride horses and shoot arrows, eat meat and drink wine with the 14th and other soldiers. ”

Qi Yu lowered his head and pulled the food in the bowl: "Although it is good to go to Beijing, I always feel uncomfortable here, I am a little breathless and depressed, and I often feel that I don't belong here." ”

Qi Zhen's eyes looked through Qi Yu and slowly spoke: "Shangjing is like this, it seems to be prosperous and noisy, but it seems to be a cage imprisoning people's freedom, dull and boring. ”

Both of them sighed, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

But a few seconds later, Qi Yu returned to his usual appearance of being wide and fat, looked up at Qi Zhen, and said with a smile on his face: "Actually, it is quite good to go to Beijing, the pavilions and pavilions are red bricks and green tiles, beautiful and luxurious. And you and I were born here, and the memories of our childhood are also here, we are noble princes, we have a noble status, eat and drink without worry, and we are also admired, and no one can call us 'Your Highness' when they see us.

And as long as I can be with the people I love, it's okay anywhere. ”

Qi Zhen fixed his eyes on Qi Yu, looked at Qi Yu's eyes with a smile, and said word by word: "Xiao Jiu, the fourth brother will do his best to let you live the life you like, with your relatives and lovers, live a free and easy life." ”

Qi Yu looked puzzled: "What?" ”

Qi Zhen didn't want to continue this topic, and returned to his usual smiling appearance: "I saw you and Shen Feinan getting along well just now, although Shen Gongzi is timid, his personality is honest and simple, and he is more mature than you, but he is a friend who can be deeply made." ”

The topic changed a little quickly, and Qi Yu didn't react yet, so he replied stunned: "Shen Feinan, it's really good, but I've been preparing for the exam recently, and I've been preparing for the exam for a few months, so I met today." ”

Qi Zhen looked at him like this and said: "If you are bored, there are still many young men in this Beijing circle who can be playmates, if needed, the fourth brother can introduce you to you." ”

"No, no, no." Qi Yu waved his hand: "I have always believed that making friends must rely on fate, and most of the people who are forcibly met have a purpose, and they can't be sincere, besides~ I still have this!" ”

Qi Zhen took the letter that Qi Yu took out of his arms, and just looked at the seal on the envelope to understand: "The boss of the Xu family is here today?" ”

"The boss of the Xu family?"

"Xu Feiyu."

"Oh, no, this is what Shen Feinan handed me just now, saying that the children of the rich family in Beijing are going to get together, and it is not appropriate for me not to invite this matter. The fourth brother knows this? ”

"Hmm." Qi Zhen took a sip of tea and said: "Three years ago, Xu Feiyu organized an event not in the name of the prime minister's son, but simply in the name of the son, inviting the unmarried children of the ministers to gather and have fun.

Last year was a literary test.,This year it's supposed to be a martial arts test.,In fact, although it's in the name of the competition.,But the results of the competition are not important.,It's mainly to contact each other's relationships and find future partners.。 ”

"Mate?"

"Hmm. Everyone is the son of a powerful person, and those who marry in the future will inevitably not be able to escape this circle. If you can find your favorite Miss Childe in this event, it will also be a pleasure. ”

"I see." Qi Yu raised his head and asked Qi Zhen, "Has the fourth brother been invited?" ”

Qi Zhen nodded.

"Then the fourth brother is going?"

"Fourth brother doesn't like to be lively, it's not that you don't know."

"Roar, fourth brother, you don't fit in, go, go, just accompany Xiao Jiu to have a fun, okay?"

Qi Zhen saw Qi Yu looking at him, sighed helplessly, and tapped his forehead with his index finger: "Okay, the fourth brother will go with you." ”

"Thank you, Fourth Brother." Qi Yu looked at Qi Zhen with a smile: I've been bored for a long time, and I finally have something interesting......
