As the second owner of Guanlanju, Hua Qingyan naturally would not sell such an important recipe to others. So when the innkeeper came to ask, Hua Qingyan refused without saying a word. The shopkeeper also seemed to know that it was unlikely that Hua Qingyan would agree, and although he was a little disappointed, he didn't continue to entangle.

However, the shopkeeper's actions reminded Hua Qingyan of something, and she invited Yu Jiamin to ask: "Is there a Guanlan residence in this Fengzhou Mansion?" ”

"Yes, it's in Fucheng." Yu Jiamin thought for a while and said, "But it seems that there is only one Guanlanju in Fengzhou Mansion, and there are no other branches." ”

"Huh? Then why is there a branch in Chaoyang Town? Hua Qingyan felt strange, it was also the state capital, why was the treatment of this Fengzhou Mansion so different from that of Linzhou Mansion? Every town has a branch, but this Fengzhou capital doesn't even have a county seat. Hua Qingyan touched her chin, always feeling that this owner was a little discriminatory against this place.

Yu Jiamin said with a smile: "Fengzhou Mansion is different from Linzhou Mansion, Linzhou Mansion is a place where there are no other forces, and it is relatively much more stable and stable. The Fengzhou Mansion is different, this is the fief of the former Prince Rong, although the Prince Rong's Mansion is now lonely, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the master is afraid of being provoked unnecessarily, so there is no excessive development in this Fengzhou Mansion. ”

Hua Qingyan noticed that Yu Jiamin deliberately said the words, "Prince Qianrong", "What is Prince Qianrong?" ”

"It's the prince with a different surname who was sealed during the reign of the first emperor," Yu Jiamin pointed to the northern road, and the first emperor in her mouth was also the one who died above Emperor Qiyuan, that is, the father of Yun Shumo and Emperor Qiyuan.

During the reign of the first emperor, there were two princes with different surnames, one was the king of the northeast, and the other was the prince Rong in the east. The two princes have made great achievements in defending the Great Qi, and the people of the entire family have died countless times, and they can be regarded as thin. The first emperor looked at their military exploits and affection, and set up princes with different surnames respectively, and gave them fiefs, which can be regarded as the emperor of one side.

Fortunately, these two princes are of good character, and they have never thought of raising troops to rebel, otherwise, with the power of the two, I am afraid that the country of this big qi will change hands.

The person who is the king side by side withered, and the two young ladies are different. The population of Prince Rong is relatively large, but the matter is relative, Prince Rong's family is three generations of single inheritance, and the prince has a total of six children, including his concubine, but he only has one son, so even if this Prince Rong wants to rebel, he has to weigh it, for the sake of their family's bloodline.

Ten years ago, Prince Rong went, and now Prince Rong is the only son of the old prince. It is strange to say that this Prince Rong has never married in his life, and now he does not even have a concubine in the house.

"So weird?" It's like listening to gossip, this Prince Rong's life of not marrying made Hua Qingyan a little interested, "This Prince Rong's mansion is a single line, Prince Rong still doesn't marry, and the people in this palace are also willing?" Wouldn't it be a pity if this title was cut off from this generation? ”

"I heard that I was trapped by love." Yu Jiamin shrugged, "Prince Rong seems to have had such a period of ups and downs when he was young, and then it seems that the old prince disagreed and killed the girl, so this Prince Rong was also disheartened, refused all family affairs, and even thought about becoming a monk." If it weren't for the old princess forcing her to die, I am afraid that there would be no Prince Rong now. ”

Hua Qingyan was dumbfounded when she heard this, and felt that this Prince Rong was also a poor person. What's even more sad is that in this era with the concept of the son following the father, what the parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, and even the freedom of love do not exist.

Hua Qingyan sighed, waving her hand and not wanting to listen to these sad stories.

After lunch, Hua Qingyan kept her promise and went to the fishing village, and the villagers guarding the door saw the two carriages yesterday, and hurriedly ran to tell each other, and they couldn't close their mouths with a smile.

Today's fishing village is particularly lively, not only because of Hua Qingyan's relationship, but also a lot of well-dressed people, looking like the officials or small servants of the rich and noble, and there are many guards wearing strong clothes and knives standing on the boat on the coast, as if they are protecting someone.

instructed her father and brother to take care of the two children, and Hua Qingyan began to collect seafood. I don't know if it's because of their faces, or other reasons, those guards and officials look at them from time to time, with curiosity and some wariness. A few even wanted to come forward to talk, but seeing that Hua Qingyan was busy, she was a little hesitant.

The number is a bit large, so Hua Qingyan has to take her time. Those people looked at a girl's house to collect the seafood, and they were even more curious, but in the end they just stood aside and watched her, afraid that they also wanted to see what she wanted to receive.

One of the little servants saw Hua Qingyan take out a squid, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Girl, what do you want this thing for?" Slimy and poisonous! It's better to be careful! ”

Looking at the little guy, although he was curious, he still couldn't help but say that he cared, and Hua Qingyan didn't sell it: "Naturally, I got it to eat." You say it's poisonous, but it's this inky thing? ”

"Can this be eaten?" The little girl looked surprised, "Girl, you can't waste your life for the sake of your tongue!" It's not like it's edible. ”

Hua Biluo on the side was not happy to see him not believing it, "My sister said that she could eat it, then she must be able to eat it, why are you so much nonsense!" ”

was glared at by Hua Biluo, and the little guy was also a little embarrassed, so he smiled and hurriedly ran to the side, pulling the person who looked like an official to talk. I don't know what I said, but the official family frequently looked at Hua Qingyan and them, and even glanced at Hua Yaozong who was playing with the children on the beach several times.

Hua Qingyan didn't notice it, but Yu Jiamin reminded her.

"Miss, the official family seems to care about the master."

Hua Qingyan followed Yu Jiamin's line of sight, and the official in brown clothes was frequently looking at Hua Yaozong, with a hint of surprise on his face, and more of an exploration and confusion.

Hua Qingyan frowned, she confirmed that she didn't know this person, and she didn't have any memories of this person. In other words, this person was a complete stranger to her. As for Hua Yaozong, she didn't believe that her father didn't find such an obvious gaze, but he was still very calm and very calm and picked up clams on the beach with the children, looking like he didn't notice it at all.

"It's a little strange," Hua Qingyan straightened up, "but I don't think that person should have any ill intentions." As he spoke, he took the towel on the side and wiped his hands, and walked forward.

"Miss, are you going to meet him?" Yu Jiamin followed behind her.

"Instead of speculating here, it's better to ask. In this case, people will think that we are calm. Hua Qingyan smiled and walked in front of the official.

This official family is not young, his hair is gray, and he looks older than Hua Qi, but his body is straight and his spirit is shining. When Hua Qingyan walked over, he had already noticed it, and he actually smiled at her, looking very friendly.

"Hello girl."

"Hello old man." Hua Qingyan greeted with a smile, "Master knows my father?" ”

The official family looked at Hua Qingyan's line of sight, and instantly understood who she was talking about. But the official shook his head: "I don't know it, but I just feel familiar, so I just took a few more looks." ”

"So, my dad looks like one of your old friends?" Hua Qingyan and Yu Jiamin glanced at each other, neither of them felt malice from this official family, so they could conclude that maybe they were really similar.

The official sighed and said, "It's not an old man. But people are similar, I may be old, and my eyes are dazzled, so I feel like it. If that person is willing to marry, the child is afraid that he will be the same age as your father. ”

The official was a little emotional as he spoke, and his face was a little more annoyed and reminiscing. He sighed for a while, and then looked at the big boat, and it happened that at this time, Wuwu and Xi'er had already picked up the side of the boat, and Hua Yaozong was also there. At some point, a figure appeared on the bow of the boat, looking down at the three of them and grandchildren.

Although the man's face was already old, his body was as straight as this official's, but his mental appearance was much worse. His brows were furrowed, as if there was a sense of hesitation hidden between his eyebrows all year round, which made people feel a little gloomy. He is dressed in a gorgeous costume, with his hands behind his back, and there is an aura on his body that is difficult to ignore, and at the same time there is a loneliness that is difficult to let go.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the three grandfathers and grandsons who were playing, and he didn't know what he thought, and the corners of his mouth gradually hooked a faint arc, but that touch of loneliness was the strength of Yue Fa.

Perhaps because he felt something, Hua Yaozong raised his head, and the two glanced at each other. Hua Qingyan watched the lips of the two move, but she didn't hear what they were saying because they were far away. Hua Qingyan saw Hua Yaozong hugging the two children one by one, and then the two children waved at the man on the boat obediently, with a smile on their faces.

"Thank you, girl." The butler said suddenly.

Hua Qingyan was a little puzzled, "Why do you want to say thank you?" I didn't do anything. ”

"It's been a long time since my master has been so happy." The housekeeper said, "It's the girl's family that makes the master a little angry." He sighed as he spoke, as if he felt that Hua Qingyan was a person who could keep secrets, and perhaps felt that it was okay to say something, so the housekeeper began to chatter.

"Ever since the lady was driven away, the master has become a walking corpse, living every day, like a dead corpse that has not yet been buried. If I didn't think that I could still get my wife back, my master would have committed suicide. Glory and wealth, the world is not as good as Mrs. in the eyes of the master. This hereditary position was also inherited by the old lady forced by the master. ”

"The old man doesn't want the master to do this position, and he hasn't had a moment of peace in these years. The master is unwilling to take care of things, and the open and secret battles in this inner house are becoming more and more dirty. If this continues, the master is afraid that he will let those people lose all the glory and shadow left by his ancestors, hey! ”
