Chapter 209: The Guest (1)

Jiang Yifan put down his hand, shook the coarse cloth shirt he was wearing, and said with a smile: "Look at the outfit we are waiting for, we are civilians now, and the old man does not have to be formal." ”

Qi Younian said that he didn't dare, then turned sideways, stretched out his hand to gesture at the shack, and asked, "Let's temporarily pick up a grilled wooden house, and the two upper rooms are also cleaned up." I wonder where you two can rest conveniently? ”

Jin Rong said with a smile: "The wooden house, although the grille of this wooden house is simple, it is also fresh, so let's do it here." ”

Jiang Yifan looked around the wooden shack and asked Qi Younian: "Did the old man really receive a message from the sixth master this morning before he started to build this wooden house?" ”

Qi Younian said with a smile: "It's not, but it's busy with our brothers." Thanks to the fact that the family built a house and had ready-made wood, otherwise it would not have been possible. ”

Jiang Yifan tapped the wooden board of the grille with his knuckles and praised: "I didn't expect that the craftsmen would have such a quick wit to do such a job in such a short time." ”

Before Qi Younian could say a few more humble words, there was another sound of carriages and horses outside the courtyard, followed by the question of Jinrong's guards.

Jinrong and Jiang Yifan glanced at each other, looking at Qi Younian.

Qi Younian shook his head, "In recent days, our carriage has also been busy with the autumn harvest, so we shouldn't come back at this time." ”

A voice outside answered the guard's question: "My young lady is a close friend of Qi Niangzi, and she specially came to visit Qi Niangzi." ”

Qi Younian was stunned for a moment, when did his family have a close friend who could be called a young lady? Mama Liu, who was still waiting on the sidelines, reminded in a low voice: "It's probably the second miss of the Zhou family who came last time." ”

Jiang Yifan didn't understand, but Jinrong already knew who it was, and told him in a low voice: "It's from the mansion of Lord Zhou in Yuyuan City." As he spoke, he frowned.

Qi Younian glanced at Jinrong and Jiang Yifan in embarrassment, although Miss Zhou came at the wrong time, but the visitor was a guest, and he couldn't turn the guest away.

Qi Younian arched his hand and said, "The sixth master and Lord Jiang will go inside first, and the little old man will go to greet him." ”

Seeing that Jinrong nodded, it was considered to be agreed, Qi Younian hurriedly walked out, and instructed Mama Liu as he walked, "Mama Liu will go with me to greet Miss Tuesday." He called Mama Zhou who was waiting on the side, "Mama Zhou sent someone to find Ye Zi back, and said that the second miss of the Zhou family had arrived, and she had to come back to receive the guests." ”

Outside the courtyard gate, Jinrong's guards looked at a gorgeously dressed young man, who had dismounted with the reins in his hand, and behind him was a green cloth carriage and several retinues on horseback.

Qi Younian hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Dare to ask this son, but accompany Miss Zhou to come here?" Xiao Lao'er's surname is Qi, and Qi Niangzi is Xiao Lao'er's granddaughter. ”

Zhou Shuyu was already under pressure against the guards of Yuwangfu, but he didn't dare to show too much respect when he didn't show his identity, so he had to hold it.

At this time, seeing Qi Younian come out, he was even more cordial and excited than seeing his relatives who had been absent for a long time, and he hurriedly took two steps forward, which was a gesture: "It turned out to be the old man of the Qi family, Shuyu in the next week, and the second son of the Zhou Mansion in Yuyuan City." My sister is a close friend of Qi Niangzi, we are going back to Yuyuan in the next two days, and my sister came to say goodbye to Qi Niangzi. However, you ...... here," Zhou Shuyu looked at the guards of the palace, "It seems that there are other guests." ”

Qi Younian hurriedly took a step back and saluted, and said, "Little Lao'er has seen Gongzi, and there have been many affairs in the past few days, so I have neglected Gongzi." There are indeed a few guests at home, we ordinary farmers, all living is limited, if Zhou Gongzi does not dislike it, or ...... Just come in and sit down? ”

Although Qi Younian knew that it was impossible, he still hoped that this wealthy and sophisticated Zhou Gongzi would dislike his own ugliness and turn away. If there is only one magistrate in the family, and the son of the prefect of the family comes, even if the magistrate has an official position, but in front of the son of the Shangguan Mansion, he has to be respectful. He didn't have to do that.

But now it's not like this, there is a prince sitting inside, this is not a question of whether Zhou Gongzi dislikes it or not, but whether King Yu is happy to see Zhou Gongzi you.

Zhou Shuyu's heart was also turning this thought, where did he dare to dislike His Royal Highness King Yu, as soon as Qi Younian's words fell, he hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Come recklessly and make trouble for the old man." ”

Mama Liu didn't say much to Zhou Shuyu, and said directly to Mama Zhong, who was about to show her head: "My old man has already sent someone to invite the eldest lady, the second lady will sit in the room and rest for a while, and the eldest lady will arrive immediately." ”

Zhou Shuyu watched Zhou Biyao follow Mama Liu's lead into the two thatched huts in the upper room, and she looked at Qi Younian and the Qi family's courtyard a little helplessly. Although I heard the girl say before that the Qi family was extremely nervous, I didn't expect it to be so nervous.

He was very surprised that the courtyard of the Qi family could squeeze so many residences, and such a cramped place could receive His Royal Highness King Yu, which made him even more puzzled.

Qi Younian hesitated slightly, and invited Zhou Shuyu to the wooden house. The son of the prefect family has enough identity to sit with the magistrate of the county, such a situation, he can only be wronged by the sixth master, who let the old man hide his identity.

"Lord Jiang of Zhixian County inspected the farming work in Qinghe Village, and is now resting in Xiao Lao'er's farmhouse. The farmhouse is simple, there is no extra house to entertain Zhou Gongzi alone, and Zhou Gongzi can go in and sit with Master Jiang. ”

Zhou Shuyu hurriedly said: "The kid is just a scholar in white, and he is really fortunate to be able to sit with Lord Jiang." ”

Although Zhou Shuyu had never seen His Royal Highness King Yu, as soon as he entered the vault door and saw Jinrong sitting side by side with Jiang Yifan, he immediately distinguished the identities of the two. immediately made a big salute and said vaguely: "Xiaosheng has seen the adult, I didn't know that the adult was here before, and I hope the adult will forgive me if I disturb you." ”

"Old man of the Qi family, please take a seat." Jin Rong first let Qi Younian sit, then looked at Zhou Shuyu, and asked lightly, "Zhou Gongzi didn't think about coming over, but just accompanied Miss Zhou?" Obviously, this Zhou Shuyu knew his identity, and he didn't bother to hide it.

Zhou Shuyu hurriedly bowed, "Yes, we have been a guest at my uncle's mansion for some time, and we will return to Yuyuan in the next few days." Before leaving, my sister wanted to say hello to Qi Niangzi and was clamoring to come, but the construction of the Qi family's house was started, and the personnel were complicated, so Xiaosheng had to accompany her. ”

"That's a reason, too." Jin Rong glanced at him with a smile, and actually picked up the tea cup to sip tea.

Jiang Yifan said with a smile: "Gongzi Zhou is also a distinguished guest, please take a seat." ”

Zhou Shuyu looked around, how did the Qi family make such a house? Although two steps into the door is a low collapse, the low floor paving looks comfortable. However, this wooden house is really rough, and it is used to entertain guests, especially to receive guests like His Royal Highness King Yu, which is too casual and too unimportant.

After he took a seat, he carefully picked up the position of Hu Jing's hand and sat down, and sincerely thanked Zining for tea, and quietly listened to Jiang Yifan and Qi Younian's chat. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
