Chapter 14: One Step Closer
Chu Yun's dim sum shop in Changyu City helps cook, Chu Qingkui has to take his younger brother to pick tea, and he has to take his sister-in-law home in the morning and evening. She didn't feel tired herself, but felt that it was quite fulfilling.
Two days before picking tea, the little prince never appeared, and the uncle's family kept the news at the foot of the mountain for two days.
Chu Qingkui was drying tea, and the eldest aunt and others broke in, so frightened that her younger brother hid behind her.
"Does the uncle's family have something to look for me?" Chu Qingkui looked at them lightly, and his hand unconsciously touched the Miao knife on his waist.
The eldest aunt glanced at the tea that had dried all over the yard, and her heart was a little greedy. However, when he thought of the purpose of coming today, he still tightened his face and said, "I heard that the prince of Junzhao is very close to you?" As a woman, you should be clean. ”
"Oh, is there anything else?" Chu Qingkui responded perfunctorily, is that the prince, you will clean yourself and be done? She didn't bother to listen to the nonsense of her aunt, so she thought that it would be good to perfunctory them.
The eldest aunt was dissatisfied with her attitude, and was just about to get angry when she was stopped by Chu Ling'er, who gently shook her head and signaled her to be calm.
The uncle came over and smiled, his eyes were full of ill intentions and he thought he was hiding deeply, he rubbed his hands and said: "Xiaokui, you see that the uncle's family treated you well in the past, and now that the prince of Junzhao is in love with you, it is good for you to help your cousin." I think the prince will listen to you, and Ling'er, this girl has also admired the prince for a long time...... If the two of you are fated, you can still serve a husband, right? ”
Chu Qingkui's eyes were full of ridiculous smiles, and he felt that the family in front of him was simply ridiculous.
"Uncle, not to mention that I have known the prince for less than a month, why do you think the prince will listen to me? Just because he has a crush on me right now? Chu Qingkui felt more and more ridiculous, is this family whimsical and used to it?
It is not yet known what the prince's feelings are for her, so he wants to give him another one at this time.
"What did you say, kid? The prince has you in his heart, so he naturally responds to your needs, so you won't even help with this, right? The uncle glared at Chu Qingkui, and she didn't care that she didn't have the slightest intention of coming down.
The atmosphere froze for a while, Chu Chong rolled his eyes and laughed, and said to Chu Qingkui: "Cousin, Ling'er's matter is embarrassing for you." But my cousin's business shouldn't be difficult, right? I just want you to introduce you, okay? ”
Chu Qingkui lowered his eyes and didn't say anything for a long time, and the uncle's family couldn't hold back.
"What should I do, you don't have to worry about it, Kui'er, I should know your cousin Xiao Wang."
Not far away, Le Zhengzhao walked over from the road on the other side of the West Mountain with a few guards, and looked at Chu Qingkui with a smile in his eyes. It's just that Chu Qingkui felt strange, it seemed that Le Zhengzhao never called himself Xiao Wang in front of him, and his expression was not as unpredictable as it is now.
Xu Chen also came this time, looking at Chu Qingkui, his eyes were obviously puzzled, but if he hadn't looked carefully, he would have been deceived by her cold appearance.
The uncle's family was overjoyed to get Le Zhengzhao's words, and Chu Qingkui didn't know what to say, so he could only turn around and continue to dry tea silently.
Chu Qingqi was a little afraid of being born when he saw that so many outsiders came to the house at once, and hugged his sister's arm tightly.
"Don't be afraid, they're not bad people." Chu Qingkui squatted down and comforted his younger brother, and Le Zhengzhao was happy in his heart - please this person who still needs to worry about Xiaokui snubbing him?
Le Zhengzhao leaned over and picked up Chu Qingci at once, Xiao Ci was a little scared but didn't dare to resist, so he could only twist his head and look at his sister pitifully.
"Excuses? Your sister still has something to do, we won't bother her, can my brother play with you? ”
Chu lightly saw his sister nodding at him, so he nodded along with him. Xu Chen scratched his head when he saw this, and said, "Miss Chu, I think you should take a few more chairs out." ”
"There are only a few benches at home, so you can make do with it." Saying that, Chu Qingkui entered the house and took out a few benches together and placed them in the courtyard, Xu Chen sat for a while and felt thirsty again: "Miss Chu, do you have water to drink?" ”
When Chu Qingkui heard this, he went to fetch a bucket of water again, and took a few bowls and put them next to him.
Xu Chen drank water and watched Le Zhengzhao coax the child, feeling interesting.
"Miss Chu......"
"Xu Chen, shut up, you have a lot to do!" Le Zhengzhao glared at him, and Xu Chen coughed lightly - he originally wanted to ask how old her brother was......
The uncle and aunt stood aside timidly, but Chu Chong and Chu Ling'er stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's rare for Xiao Ci to be so well-behaved, it's difficult for us to get close to him on weekdays." ”
"Xiao Ci also knows that the prince is noble."
Chu Qingci saw that his cousin and cousin hid as soon as they came over, and when his sister was not around, he could only shrink into Le Zhengzhao's arms. Chu Qingci's unabashed attitude made the two brothers and sisters a little embarrassed, and Chu Ling'er whispered softly when she saw this: "Xiao Ci said goodbye to the prince, come and play with my sister." ”
Chu shrank in the arms of the little prince lightly, and when he heard the words, he looked up at the little prince, his eyes were a little red, and he looked very pitiful. How many people has Le Zhengzhao met? What a child thinks in his heart, can he still not know? Dang even rubbed his head and said in a low voice: "It's okay, don't listen to them, my brother is happy to hold you." ”
As soon as the little prince's words came out, Chu Chong and Chu Ling'er lost face, so they could only laugh. Chu Qingci unconsciously relied on the little prince, making the little prince secretly happy in his heart.
Chu Qingkui also put all the tea leaves out to dry, and then came over to see Xiao Ci and Le Zhengzhao getting close, and did not deliberately stop it.
"Lord, there are a few interesting places in Suzhou, it can be lively at night, do you want to go and take a look?" Chu Chong's mind turned around and decided to prescribe the right medicine, saying that this prince likes to be lively and likes to drink flower wine, and there are many fireworks in Suzhou, so he is worried that he will not please the prince?
Le Zhengzhao didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he casually answered a few words and talked to Chu Qingkui.
"Seeing that it's almost noon, what are you going to eat?" Le Zhengzhao didn't come for two days, and he always felt that Chu Qingkui was hungry and thin.
"Whatever you want." Chu Qingkui answered, she didn't know what to eat. In the past, I always had something to eat, and I didn't pick my mouth.
Le Zhengzhao looked down at Xiao Ci in his arms again and asked with a smile, "What does Xiao Ci like to eat?" ”
Chu Qingci didn't dare to say it in a low voice, and Le Zhengzhao coaxed two small words before saying: "My sister likes to eat meat, and Xiaoci also likes to eat meat." ”
"Okay, then we'll eat meat." Le Zhengzhao pinched Chu Qingci's little face, and there was some flesh in such a little place all over his body.
Xiao Feng asked people to prepare meals, although Xu Chen was born with a companion, but the size was also raised by brocade clothes and jade food, and there was a natural nobility on his body, and the coarse porcelain bowl he held in his hand was not cheap in his hand.
"I'm afraid this place is inconvenient to eat, right? Why don't you go back to Changyu City first? Xu Chen opened his mouth to ask, and Chu Qingkui was obviously still worried about her tea. Chu Chong saw the stitches and said, "If it's inconvenient for my little sister, go down the mountain to my house over there to eat?" My house is also bigger and cleaner. ”
Le Zhengzhao felt that there was nothing wrong with being on the mountain, and Chu Qingkui was afraid that they would not be used to it, so he responded for Le Zhengzhao.
Seeing that she agreed, the little prince did not object to anything, so everyone went down the mountain together.
In the courtyard, the uncle's family did their best to entertain the little prince and Xu Chen, and Chu Qingkui sat on the stone under the tree at the gate of the courtyard and looked at the small earthen house.
In this life they lived for three days, but in the previous life they lived for half a year. I still remember all the things I experienced in those six months, and my family is not like my family, and my relatives are not like my relatives.
Chu Qingkui has seen Chu Chong go into a big fight at home to sell the eldest aunt's dowry for the sake of money, and he has also seen the eldest aunt try her best to get money from them, and if she can't get it, she will beat and scold.
"Sister, what is my sister thinking?" Chu Qingci didn't know when he ran over, stood beside her and asked in a low voice.
Chu Qingkui looked at his younger brother's immature face, and the tenderness flashed in his eyes: "My sister is just thinking about when Xiao Ci will grow up, and my sister will still count on Xiao Ci to protect me at that time." ”
Chu Qingci threw himself into his sister's arms, and said glutinously: "Xiaoci will grow up soon, and he will definitely protect his sister." ”
Le Zhengzhao sat in the courtyard and looked at their sister and brother, he didn't know what he remembered, and there was a faint loneliness in his eyes. It's just that he didn't miss Chu Qingkui's flashing gentleness, and he suddenly hoped that one day she would look at him like that.
"Do what you have to do, don't keep surrounding this king and disturb people's headaches." Le Zhengzhao was annoyed by the noise, got up and walked to Chu Qingkui's side. There were also a lot of stones in that place, and Le Zhengzhao picked a piece and sat down relatively smoothly.
"What's wrong?" Chu Qingkui asked with concern, and Le Zhengzhao suddenly grinned: "It's okay, I'm here to find you, so naturally I have to be next to you, otherwise wouldn't I come out in vain this time?" ”
Sure enough, only by her side Le Zhengzhao will be the appearance of that cute young man, and when there are outsiders, he is the noble prince of Junzhao.
Chu Qingkui suddenly understood, and his heart was also hot: "Well, that's right." ”
Xu Chen watched from the side, and he faintly felt that the relationship between the two was one step closer.
The uncle's family was a little jealous in their hearts, what good thing about Chu Qingkui was worthy of the prince's protection again and again? Take a closer look at Chu Qingkui, where is his family, Chu Ling'er is gentle and lovely? Wearing a dead face all day long, it's annoying to look at!
Chu Qingkui looked at the uncle's family lightly, she didn't want to calculate, but she didn't want to step on her head and climb up. Le Zhengzhao will not interfere with how they are, but he will not let Le Zhengzhao give them three points because of himself.
"Brother Zhao, Xiao Ci wants to hug." Chu Qingci stretched out his hand to the little prince, and Le Zhengzhao happily reached over and hugged Chu Qingci.
As soon as Chu Qingci sat in the arms of the little prince, he turned his head and grimaced in the direction of the courtyard. Le Zhengzhao looked interesting, Xiao Ci, who was sitting in his arms, laughed when he saw him laughing, and Xu Chen raised his eyebrows - this kid is much smarter and smarter than his sister.
