Chapter 134: Serendipity
"But how could Gu Tu know the name of Peach Blossom?" Ruxu looked at the backs of the two little girls and muttered in his mouth.
Qianwu patted Qianyun's head and said softly, "You can go too, take care of your two younger sisters." β
Qian Yun immediately raised a happy smile, bowed to Qian Wu, and followed Peach Blossom and Gu Tu together.
Then everyone went back to the main house and sat down, and as soon as they sat down, the housekeeper brought in a man to meet them. The man was dressed in red, and his black arrow sleeves looked very neat. Qianwu raised her eyes and saw that it was Ji Niang.
"Below is the prince's house of the personal attendant Ji Niang, in the order of His Royal Highness the Prince, I came to say hello to Mr. Mr. Xu's housewarming banquet, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was happy to go, but it was inconvenient to come because of trivial matters in the house, so he sent Ji Niang to send a congratulatory gift. Ji Niang hugged her fist and waved her hand, and someone came in with a gift.
Well? But I didn't invite His Royal Highness the Prince, why did he suddenly give gifts? Ruxu turned a corner in his heart, glanced at Qianwu who lowered his head and drank tea, and suddenly understood.
"Like many thanks, His Royal Highness the Prince is loved." Ruxu got up and saluted back, and was about to send Ji Niang out, when Ji Niang saluted again.
"Your Highness has commanded. It's almost winter these days, and I'm afraid it's going to snow. If you want to take care of your body, you don't need to send it. After Ji Niang finished speaking, she glanced at the thousand mist in her eyes intentionally or unintentionally, and then turned around and left.
Ruxu glanced at Qianwu, his expression was as usual, and he still looked leisurely. But as Xu knows, the more he is like this, the more depressed he is.
Everyone felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and they stared at each other and didn't dare to speak.
"Why did Mr. Xu invite His Royal Highness the Prince?" Qianwu took a sip of tea, breaking the suffocating awkward atmosphere, and hid a knife in his smile.
Qian Yidu has already sent someone to give him a gift, and it is not good for Xu to brush his face in front of everyone, if the news of the prince's uninvited arrival comes out, I am afraid it will embarrass him and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Qianyi, Qianyi, you really made me a big one. Ru Xu complained bitterly in his heart.
"As promised...... It was an invitation to His Highness, which is a proper courtesy. Ruxu said with a hard smile.
"Etiquette? Of course, it doesn't hurt to ask for a good relationship, but ......" Qianwu lowered his head and turned the aperture on the mouth of the teacup, and suddenly looked up at Ru Xu, "This king really didn't know that your private relationship was so good, could it be that Mr. Xu actually secretly Chen Cang with His Royal Highness the Prince?" β
"That's not how Darkness Chen Cang is used......" Ru Xu pouted and muttered.
"That's the secret song." Qianwu said lightly.
Ruxu sighed silently in his heart. Fox, are you a pig? The prince must have known that you would definitely come today, so he specially ordered someone to send a congratulatory gift to my house, the purpose of which was to test our relationship and make you suspicious of me by the way. Such a blatant matter, do you want me to tell you in front of the servants of the whole house?
He glanced at Qianwu like an idiot, and said angrily, "Yes, yes, whatever the prince says." β
Xu Chongxin, who was sitting behind Qianwu, felt very confused, and didn't understand why they were arguing for. When it was time, he and the senior sister tacitly looked at each other and smiled, and they all felt that these two people were really naΓ―ve.
After that, Li Weiqing took Zhou Ziheng and came to Xu's mansion, as Xu invited someone to take them into the main house. As soon as the two of them walked in, as soon as the senior sister saw them, her eyes flashed with extraordinary excitement.
"Hey, hey, hey!" When did he reach out and pat the elder sister's arm, he twisted her face over, "You're drooling!" β
"This looks like a pair of bases!" The senior sister suppressed the soul of the rotten girl in her body.
Li Weiqing is uninhibited and chic, Zhou Ziheng is gentle and elegant, and the appearance of the two is extremely pleasing to the eye, such two people get together, it is difficult for the senior sister not to scream.
When Ruxu heard the word "Ji", he raised his head and looked at the two handsome sons. For some reason, when Li Weiqing and Zhou Ziheng appear at the same time, it will make people think that they are a pair of lovers. Although they didn't say anything, they didn't even glance at each other, but there was an aura that belonged to each other.
"Yin Li Weiqing of Kyoto Prefecture, Zhou Ziheng of Tai Hospital, has seen Nan Wangye." The two saluted to Qianwu and sat next to Ru Xu.
Ruxu felt the novelty and looked at them again.
"We are honored to be here today to attend Mr. Xu's housewarming banquet. I prepared a small gift to express my congratulations. "Li Weiqing is Zhou Ziheng's lizi, not only smart, but also thoughtful.
Ruxu smiled, "Thank you both." β
Chiki had been looking at the two of them, and he was curious about how the two men would get along together. Looking at Zhou Ziheng and Li Weiqing's calm and generous appearance, he felt a little puzzled. Why can they behave so freely, as if they are not burdened by the gaze of others?
After thinking about it, Qianwu looked at Ruxu again. Ruxu was talking and laughing with Li Weiqing, and suddenly indirectly received Qianwu's gaze, and smiled lightly in his direction, and Qianwu immediately looked away.
Everyone sat and chatted for a while, and then it was time for lunch, and Jin Feng went to call the children back.
Wang Duzhi hugged Tingying, tidied up her clothes and asked, "Are you having fun?" β
"Happy." Ting Ying raised his head and whispered back in his ear, "I like it." β
Wang Duzhi knew what she meant, and felt that it was very fun to have fun with Peach Blossom and them, and she also liked Peach Blossom and Qianyun.
Contrary to Tingying, the peach blossom trotted into Ruxu's arms, and said with a little grievance in his tone, "Daddy, I'm afraid ......"
"What's wrong? Did something just happen? Why do you feel scared? Ruxu asked with his arm around her.
Peach Blossom raised her head, tears swirling, "Sister Gu Tu is a bird, I am a peach, I am afraid that she will eat my ......"
"Nonsense." Ru Xu interrupted Peach Blossom's words, "What bird and peach, you are a human Gu Rabbit is also a human, how could she eat you?" β
"Woo woo woo ......" Peach Blossom whimpered a few more times, Ru Xu didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only pat her back gently.
Fortunately, the children's emotions are short-lived, and after a while, the delicious meal was served, and the peach blossoms immediately smiled again.
"These are all made by our chef in Qingchuan, please try them all." Ruxu said.
"I heard that Mr. Xu brought a cook to Kyoto a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be true." Zhou Ziheng said with a smile, "Presumably, Mr. Xu must be a person who understands the way of life." β
"Huh? This is...... Peppers? Wang Duzhi, who was on the other side, picked out a piece of red chili peel from the dish.
Ruxu nodded and said, "This pepper is a seasoning of our Qingchuan, and it has a unique spicy taste. Just taste it. β
Several people moved their chopsticks one after another, but after a while, they were sweating profusely.
"Peppers should not be eaten more in winter to avoid physical discomfort. I was worried that everyone wouldn't be able to eat this spicy taste, so I specially ordered the cook to prepare a clear soup. Ruxu shook his head and smiled.
"Go and ask for one last course." After Xu instructed, the girl on the side nodded and went.
After a while, Ah Lang led a few people to bring the soup to the table. When he saw Wang Duzhi, his eyelids couldn't help jumping violently. Immediately, he saw Tingying in his arms, and a sour and bitter taste rippled in his heart.
I haven't seen him for many years, and he has become a father...... But this is also human nature, what is there to be sad about? Ah Lang silently enlightened himself in his heart, but the more enlightened he became, the more depressed he became, and when he served soup to Wang Duzhi, his face lowered deeply, and he was left with his head facing him.
At this time, Wang Duzhi's whole heart was on Ting Ying, and he had no time to pay attention to an inconsequential cook. Ah Lang had already gotten up and was about to leave after putting the soup away, but at this time it was Tingying who spoke, "Brother, make a spoon ......"
When Ah Lang heard the title of "brother", his body immediately shook, and his red eyes quietly glanced at Tingying. Tingying bit her fingers and looked at him with a smile, the cinnabar mole between her eyebrows was particularly conspicuous.
You and my brother have a red thread tied around their legs! If you run away, won't Yue Lao be in trouble again? The old man is still very good to me, so I'll be a good person by the way and help him avoid this.
"Trouble for a ......" At this time, Wang Duzhi listened to Tingying's words, and was raising his head to ask Ah Lang to adjust the spoon.
When he looked up, he happened to collide with Ah Lang's gaze. Ah Lang hurriedly retracted his gaze and was about to leave in a hurry.
"You can help me hug Tingying." Wang Duzhi immediately hugged Ting Ying to the next one, and when he hadn't brought a child, he was at a loss for a while. Tingying didn't cry or make trouble, and giggled when she held it.
"Hey, what are you doing...... when he hugged Tingying carefully, wondering why Wang Duzhi threw Tingying to him.
At this time, Ah Lang was almost at the door of the house, Wang Duzhi turned around and rushed to his side with a brisk walk, grabbed his hand, and suppressed the excitement in his voice, "Ah Lang, is it you?" β
"I'm afraid my lord has recognized the wrong person!" Ah Lang turned his back to Wang Duzhi and shook off his hand.
"I know it's you! It's definitely you! Wang Duzhi grabbed his shoulders with both hands, pulled him over and looked at him, "You look at me, I must not recognize the wrong person......
Ah Lang struggled for a while, and then tears came out of his eyes, covering his face and crying in a low voice, "Yes, it's me, it's me...... What about me? You've given up on me, so what can you do if it's me? β
Everything happened in a short period of time, and when everyone saw Wang Duzhi rushing to the door, they had already stopped their chopsticks. Ruxu saw the two arguing, and immediately stood up.
"What happened?" She asked.
"I didn't want to be in front of you again, I didn't expect to meet you here...... Don't worry, Lord Wang, I'll leave immediately, I'll leave Kyoto tomorrow, I won't come again, I'll never come again......" Ah Lang felt that he shouldn't be here, and as soon as he saw Wang Duzhi, he felt very shameless, and desperately explained that he didn't mean to come to pester him.
"Where are you going?!" Wang Duzhi couldn't help but roar, "I've been looking for you for seven or eight years, and now that we finally met, you still want to leave me!" β
After saying that, he hugged Ah Lang, and said with a tearing and broken cry in his voice, "You are not allowed to go anywhere!" You don't even want to go! β
