CHAPTER XXXIII

Soon after Chu Liang left, Xie Shaoqing sent someone to pick up Chu Zhi.

Chu Zhi arrived at Xie Shaoqing's mansion, and Xie Shaoqing was waiting for him outside the door.

Xie Shaoqing said to Chu Zhi with a respectful face: "Originally, I should have come to visit, and I shouldn't have tired my uncle to go, but I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Ai to be at home, so I had to invite my uncle to come to visit." ”

Chu Zhi said: "She was taken to the palace by the concubine. ”

Xie Shaoqing already knew that Chu Liang had entered the palace, and he said, "Well, uncle, let's go in." ”

Chu Zhi entered the back room and sat down on the table in the center of the room. Without waiting for Xie Shaoqing to speak, Chu Zhi said, "If you don't come to me, I will come to you sooner or later." ”

Xie Shaoqing sat opposite Chu Zhi, he stood up and was about to pour tea for Chu Zhi, Chu Zhi picked up a cup and said, "I'll just come by myself." ”

Xie Shaoqing took his hand back slightly embarrassed, Chu Zhi picked up the cup, did not drink the tea immediately, but put the cup down again, and said, "Frankly, I don't think you and Chu Liang are suitable." ”

Xie Shaoqing was not surprised that Chu Zhi said this, but asked very calmly: "Senior, why did you say this." ”

Chu Zhi said: "Things gather by like, people by groups, you are not suitable." ”

Xie Shaoqing still said calmly: "I only met my predecessor for the first time, how can I conclude that I am not suitable for Chu Li." ”

Seeing that Xie Shaoqing looked determined to win, Chu Zhi asked, "Do you know Chu Li?" Chu Liang told me that she and you have met each other, and you can count them on one hand. ”

Xie Shaoqing said: "Although I haven't met her many times, I know that she is a very delicate person, a little nostalgic, and it is not easy to let go of the past." ”

Chu Zhi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Xie Shaoqing to know Chu Liang quite well.

Chu Liang accompanied Zhang Guifei for a long time, she was a little tired, Zhang Guifei babbled a lot about Xie Shaoqing's childhood, and Chu Liang waited to listen to it or not.

Zhang Guifei talked about the interesting story of Xie Shaoqing and Ruyang, she said: "You don't know that he was cute when he was a child, and three or four palace maids couldn't look at him, and often either broke his leg or broke his hand." ”

Chu Liang asked, "Did Princess Ruyang also grow up with the Seventh Prince?" ”

Zhang Guifei said: "It's almost, the princes and princesses all grew up together. ”

Shanyan stood quietly behind Chu Li, and Zhang Guifei said: "I called you over very abruptly today, there are no good things in the palace, and when you leave, I will ask the palace maid to prepare some pastries for you." ”

Chu Liang said: "Niangniang is too modest. ”

Zhang Guifei looked at the drip next to her and said, "It's time for lunch." After speaking, he took Chu Liang to lunch.

The food in the palace was similar to what Chu Li had seen in Ruyang Mansion, and there were four or five dishes on the table, and the portion was not much.

After a meal, Chu Liang got up to say goodbye, and Zhang Guifei didn't stay much, only saying that she would come back next time when she was free.

Zhang Guifei sent someone to send Chu Liang and Shanyan back, and Chu Liang looked liberated as soon as he entered the door. Shanyan found a chair and sat down, and said, "I've been standing for a long time and I'm tired from standing, but you're much more comfortable, miss." ”

Hearing this, Chu Liang slapped Shanyan on the back and said, "Thank you for your hard work, it's so tiring to talk to that concubine, I'm always worried that if I accidentally say something wrong, I will be rumored to be a laughing stock." ”

Shanyan turned around and said to Chu Li: "I see that the concubine likes Miss you a lot, and she has been pulling Miss to talk." ”

Chu Liang didn't quite believe what Shanyan said, and asked rhetorically: "Really?" It's just the first time we met, how can we talk about liking. ”

Shanyan said: "Miss, you and Xie Shaoqing haven't met a few times, and he doesn't want to marry Miss yet." ”

Chu Liang thought for a moment and said, "Shanyan, since you came to Linjiang City, I have found that you are a lot smarter, and you always look like you can see through everything. ”

Shanyan said lazily: "There is a saying, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear." ”

Chu Liang suddenly interjected and said, "Shanyan, you're not small, aren't you?" ”

Shanyan's face turned red, pinched Chu Li's waist and said, "Miss, you are really annoying." ”

Chu Liang walked outside the door and took a look, and said, "It's all this time, my father hasn't come back yet, I don't know what he and Xie Shaoqing have said." ”

Shanyan said: "What else can I say, discuss the marriage between Miss and Xie Shaoqing." ”

Chu Liang walked up to Shanyan and said, "The world is unpredictable, a few days ago, the Chen family came to my house to withdraw from the marriage, and today Xie Shaoqing invited his father over." ”

Shanyan said: "Miss, do you want to say that the Chen family has no eyes." ”

Chu Liang glanced at her and said, "You know that I didn't mean that." ”

Shanyan stood up and said, "Miss, I'm sleepy, I'll go back to my room to rest." ”

Chu Liang said: "Go ahead, I'm sleepy too." ”

Chu Liang didn't know how long he had been asleep, and when he woke up, it was almost dark. As soon as Chu Liang opened his eyes, he found his father standing by the bed. Chu Zhi said dissatisfiedly: "People who are about to become a family, and they are still so sleepy." ”

Seeing that his father was a little angry, Chu Liang didn't dare to smile, and asked cautiously, "Father, when did you come back, what did you say to Xie Shaoqing?" ”

Chu Zhi said: "I didn't say anything, I asked him if he was sincere to you, and whether he would give up from the beginning." He promised me that he would treat you sincerely, not half-heartedly, and that he thought you were beautiful when I first met you. ”

Chu Liang said approvingly: "That's good, I think so too." ”

Chu Zhi knocked on Chu Li's head and said, "I know that I don't talk nonsense, I haven't gotten up yet, I slept all afternoon, I'll see how you sleep at night." "After that, he went out.

Chu Liang unintentionally said the wrong thing, a little embarrassed, the mountain smoke closed the door, and Chu Liang got up to change his clothes. She complained in a low voice: "The master is here, and you don't inform me, I will be told to save it." ”

Shanyan couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss, it's not in a hurry to inform you, you slept so deeply." ”

Chu Liang said while getting dressed: "Xie Shaoqing is true or false, he liked me the first time he saw me, how can I listen to this sentence more and more unreliable." ”

Shanyan said: "Miss, what's the use of you just thinking about it, you just ask him face to face, how can you figure it out." ”

Chu Liang couldn't help but praise Shanyan and said: "You can still see it, I will ask Xie Shaoqing in a few days to see if what he said is true or false." ”

Shanyan said: "The master is still waiting for us outside, miss, you move faster." ”

Chu Liang got dressed three times and five times, and came out with Shanyan.

Old man Zhang cooked porridge, the porridge was almost cold, Chu Liang drank a few bowls in a row, Chu Liang remembered the pastries that Zhang Guifei gave him, and said to his father: "When I came back, Zhang Guifei asked me to bring a lot of snacks, father, do you want to taste it." ”

Chu Zhi said: "You keep it and eat it slowly, I don't like to eat sweet." ”
