Lin Fu stood in front of the bed, his whole body was surprisingly cold.

"If you die, I won't collect your body."

"So pessimistic, I know my body, it's already eighty percent, and the remaining two percent, just take a walk around and take a look." Lin Qingyu said while putting on his clothes.

Lin Fu stared at him coldly: "Young lady, we will have someone to follow, it will be fine, why do you have to follow yourself." ”

Lin Qingyu's clothed hand paused slightly: "Because she's back." ”

"You mean"

"Alright." Lin Qingyu didn't seem to want to hear the man's name: "Clean up a little, let's go to the Prince's Mansion first, and then go to the Jiang Mansion to stay." ”

"Yes." Lin Fu responded, and glanced at him, whose face was still pale: "I don't have life-sustaining medicine on me this time, if it really happens, you must not do it." ”

"Don't worry, if you make a move, Ji'er may be widowed, how can I bear to let her alone in this world." Thinking of what Chu Xi said repeatedly in her dreams, Lin Qingyu was distressed and helpless, only by accompanying her might be able to stop her nightmares at night.

Chu Ji entered Mrs. Jiang's room and saw all kinds of simple and precious ornaments in the room. The capital Jiang Mansion is low-key, but these decorations can't be seen to be low-key. Thinking that if it weren't for the Eighth Prince and Su Guifei suppressing them, they might not know what they would become.

"Is Miss Chu here?" Someone above asked, Chu Xi looked over, and a woman about fifty years old was sitting in front of her head, and there were curious women on both sides, looking at Xu is the other ladies of the Jiang family.

Chu Xi stepped forward to salute, Mrs. Jiang looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "If it is really an outstanding one, it must be very good to think about it, otherwise Fan'er would not have deliberately looked for you to talk to her." ”

Chu Xi stood on the side and smiled faintly, she didn't want to get involved in the disputes of the Jiang family.

Mrs. Jiang talked for a long time, but Chu Xi didn't know the deep meaning, so she didn't have any thoughts, and only explained to Ning: "Come on, you can take Miss Chu down to rest." ”

"Yes." The Ning clan hurriedly bowed his head and led Chu Xi out of the door.

When the two of them walked out of Mrs. Jiang's courtyard, Ning smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, my mother is just a little more enthusiastic and not malicious." ”

"Hmm." Chu Xi responded lightly, and Ning suddenly remembered something, and said, "You shouldn't have anything to do with Jiang Rui, right?" ”

"Nope." Chu Xi looked at her worried look and said with a smile: "It's just that once he went to visit his brother, he met by chance, and he never spoke. ”

"That's it," Ning thought thoughtfully. After a long while, he said: "Then after I lead you back to the courtyard today, you must not come out, if someone comes to look for you, you let Yahuan come to me, and I will lead you out again." ”

After Ning finished speaking, he said as if explaining: "My little uncle is really a bastard. Ning thought for a long time before he could hold back such a sentence, but Chu Xi knew that Jiang Rui was only afraid that he would bring disaster to many people.

Chu Ji responded to her explanations one by one, and as she passed through the three flower gates, she finally arrived at the wing room arranged for herself.

It is said that it is a wing room, but it is better to say that it is an independent small courtyard, the yard has many flowers and green branches, and it is very clean, and at a glance you can see that Ning is a capable person.

"Then you rest first, and I'll have someone bring food over when I get back, and you won't be able to go out." Ning smiled.

"Good. Thank you, Mrs. Ninen. Chu Ji looked at her and said.

Ning smiled lightly, looking really gentle and generous: "You can live with confidence." With that, he turned around and left.

Lu Tan looked around at the courtyard before saying, "It's safe." ”

"Well, but we're going to have to bother with a snack today." Chu Ji said, Jiang Rui is like a time bomb, maybe he will do something ridiculous.

Green Sandalwood and Green Buds were full of determination, and Green Sandalwood was even more indignant: "If Jiang Rui dares to break in today, he will definitely break his legs!" ”

Chu Xiwan'er turned his head back to the room and said no more.

At this end, Zhao Xuanyi looked at Lin Qingyu strangely: "Aren't you injured and recuperating at home?"

"The minister was a little worried about the prince, so he came to take a look." Lin Qingyu sat on one side, and the mask on his face was still not taken off.

Zhao Xuanyi looked at the silver mask on his face: "Hasn't your poison been solved yet?" ”

"It's more than half solved." Lin Qingyu said.

When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he frowned, turned his head and took out a small jade bottle from the dark compartment of the bookcase, and threw it to Lin Qingyu: "This is the medicine that the concubine took from the palace, maybe it is useful." ”

Lin Qingyu looked at the bottle and smiled: "Thank you, prince." I took this medicine and sold it, and it cost 10,000 taels at least. ”

Looking at Lin Qingyu, who was really thinking about buying things, Zhao Xuanyi's face became a little heavier: "You are not short of this money"

"The prince doesn't understand, my master plans to melt all the gold and silver in the family and make it a mountain of gold and silver." Lin Fu said lightly on the side.

Zhao Xuanyi glanced at Lin Qingyu and snorted lightly: "It's better to take care of your life first." Say, come to the house to find me, what the hell is the matter? Zhao Xuanyi walked to the door, looked at the cold sky outside the house, and sighed slightly in his heart.

"Naturally, you're here to solve the prince's urgency?"

"Solve my urgency? Do you have the best of both worlds to deal with the victims? Zhao Xuanyi turned to stare at him.

The corners of Lin Qingyu's mouth were raised evilly: "Of course there is, but the prince still has to go to a place with me and do something, so that this thing can be justified." ”

Zhao Xuanyi looked at him like this, and always felt as if he had dug a pit for himself and waited for him to jump: "Lin Qingyu, if you dare to play me"

"Don't dare, don't dare." Lin Qingyu hurriedly laughed: "Isn't the prince worried about how to deal with the King of Freedom with the help of Princess Hua Huaiyang, this time is a good opportunity." ”

"What good chance?"

"Prepare the carriage to go to Jiang's Mansion first?" Lin Qingyu said.

"What does the Jiang Mansion have to do with this matter?" Zhao Xuanyi was puzzled.

Lin Qingyu smiled: "It's a big deal." Lin Qingyu said as he said outside: "Why don't you go and prepare a carriage for the prince?" ”

The guard at the door turned his head to look at Zhao Xuanyi, Zhao Xuanyi glanced at him coldly, and had to raise his hand.

"And what exactly is the solution you are talking about?"

"Don't worry, let's talk slowly"

Jiang Rui had just finished saving with his favorite concubine Cai Zhen, and remembered that he had gone to Chu Zhen's yard before, but she threw him into Chu Zhenzhen's yard and almost froze to death.

Cai Yuan hurriedly asked, "Master, why are you going, are you in a hurry to see which fox girl?" ”

When Jiang Rui heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Who else in this mansion is more beautiful than you, I went to find something for my grandfather." Jiang Rui said as he took out a gadget from his pocket and gave it to her: "Look, I'm thinking about you all the time, which time I didn't bring you jewelry." ”

Cai Cai picked up the jewel hairpin and looked at it, then smiled: "You still have some conscience, but if you look at messing around in this mansion again, I will hang myself." ”

"Don't worry, baby, it won't." Jiang Rui comforted him, and then hurriedly ran out.

Green sandalwood was eating pastries around the charcoal brazier, and suddenly heard a sound outside, so he hurriedly crept to the door, looked outside, and really saw someone probing his brain inside.

"Who are you?" Lu Tan couldn't see the man's face clearly, and said directly.

When Jiang Rui saw that it was this girl, he coughed lightly twice and walked out: "I am the master of this mansion, are you blind?" ”

Lu Tan stuffed the rest of the pastry into his mouth and laughed: "Do you have the word 'master' engraved on your face, or do you have a sign of 'master' on your body?" Why should I recognize you? ”

Jiang Rui was so angry by her words: "You are a sharp tooth, haven't you seen me at the door?" Didn't you see me when my sister-in-law led you in? ”

"Is that you?" Lu Tan looked surprised: "Tsk, I see that the son looks dignified, and it doesn't look like the toad face that stopped us before." ”

Jiang Rui's face turned blue, and her boasting was so bad that he didn't know what to say.

"Come on, don't be poor here with me, go and go, call your young lady out!" Jiang Rui said impatiently.

Lu Tan clasped his hands on his chest and stopped in front of Jiang Rui firmly: "You can call it, I don't know who you are, besides, even if you know, you are a foreign man, is it unruly to want to see my young lady?" ”

"Waiman, I'm the son-in-law in this house, your young lady eats me and lives with me here, what's the matter, I can't see it even if I want to see it?" Jiang Rui has made up his mind today, he has to see Chu Xi, he wants to see how this little girl can fool himself when he arrives at his own territory!

Lu Tan laughed louder and louder: "You think this is a kiln, this Jiang Mansion is also a hairpin family, how can you be such a gentleman?"

"You're bold!" Jiang Rui raised his hand and was about to call, but Lu Tan buckled him with his backhand, grabbed his two hands directly behind his back, looked at him struggling, and laughed: "Don't struggle, just your few bones are not enough for me to pinch." "Lu Tansha doesn't like this Jiang Rui.

"You let me go!"

"Don't let it go, unless you call me Grandma"

"Presumptuous"

In the midst of the stalemate, a group of people suddenly rushed in from outside the house.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Jiang originally planned to come to see Chu Xi, but she didn't expect to see this scene.

"Auntie, they deceive people too much, saying that I am a toad!" Jiang Rui almost burst into tears.

Madame Chiang almost burst out laughing. I finally couldn't help it, and glanced at Lu Tan: "This is my little son Jiang, but I offended Miss Chu?" ”

"It's not an offense, it's an attempted offense." Lu Tan let go of the person, and Chu Xi also heard the movement and walked out.

looked at Jiang Rui, who was the color of pig liver, and then looked at Lu Tan, who was standing on the side, who was slightly proud, and Ning, who was obviously holding back a smile, and understood what was going on.

Chu Xi stepped forward to salute, but was three steps away from Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui looked at Chu Xi, originally angry, but he saw that under her hair, which was blown away by the wind, her white and delicate neck rippled in an instant.

"Miss Chu, your maid's temper is too big, I just want to ask about your brother, you know, I used to have some friendship with him."

"That's right, Jiang Xiaogongzi can go to prison to see if my eldest brother is okay, last time I begged the prince to be able to see him, but I saw that he suffered a lot." Chu Ji said regretfully.

Jiang Rui was stunned, he couldn't wait to stay away from Chu Qitai now, how could he go to see him.

"Haha, I mean"

"Okay Rui'er, if you have nothing to do, go back first. The Spring Festival exam is coming soon, and I heard that you haven't even finished reading a book, which is too unusual. Madame Jiang's voice sank and said.

Jiang Rui was naturally unwilling to leave so early, and said with a smile: "Auntie, you don't believe Rui'er so much? This year, the prince is the chief examiner, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get a tanhualang."

"Confused." Madame Jiang suddenly reprimanded: "The prince is the chief examiner, so he will investigate more strictly, if someone finds out that he is harboring favoritism and fraud, the saint still doesn't know how to punish the prince." Rui'er, you're too unmotivated."

"Okay, auntie, say this again to scare me. No matter how unmotivated I am, it's better than the eldest brother who received a small errand under the prince and worked every day. Jiang Rui said sarcastically.

Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she almost didn't catch her breath, Jiang Rui was just spoiled, not only did she dare to do anything, but she didn't know the rules at all and didn't respect her elders.

"By the way, I heard from my eldest daughter-in-law that the picks in your house were originally from Yunfu"

"Okay, okay, I'll go out." Jiang Rui said busily, picking what he likes now, of course he can't be sent away.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Chu Xi, who was standing aside with an indifferent expression, touched his lips, turned his head and left.

Mrs. Jiang finally got her way to the end, and then she looked at Chu Xi with a smile and said, "Let you see the joke." ”

"It's okay, Jiang Gongzi is not sensible, and when he goes out to get an errand in the future, he will naturally understand." Chu Xi smiled faintly.

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she felt a lot more relieved when she thought that if the old lady died, Jiang Rui's character would be embarrassed to die.

"Miss Chu is really a smart ice and snow, I came here to tell you that the prince and the prince of the Marquis of Anping Mansion have come to the mansion today, if Miss Chu wants to go to the front yard, you must be careful, so as to save outsiders from gossiping." Mrs. Jiang said.

"Yes." Chu Ji bowed her head and responded.

Mrs. Jiang also likes her when she looks at her, she knows how to advance and retreat like this, and she has no conflict of interest with herself, who doesn't like it.

Mrs. Jiang assigned four more mothers-in-law to serve in the courtyard, and then left.

Ning helped Mrs. Jiang, looked at Chu Xi when she left, smiled, and left with her.

Lu Tan hurriedly came over: "I knew that I should have been ruthless just now, and it would be good to break his two arms." ”

"After all, this is Jiang's Mansion, if you break his arm, I don't think I need to take you back." Chu Xiwan said with a smile.

Lu Tan stuck out his tongue and followed Chu Xi into the room: "I didn't expect Lin Shizi to come too." ”

Chu Xi was also surprised, can he do it with his body. But what she is more worried about now is Zhao Xuanyi. I didn't expect the examiner to be him, so Li Xiao was afraid that there would be danger this time, with Zhao Xunyan's character, he would not let go of any opportunity.

The old lady of the Jiang family was talking to Zhao Xuanyi: "Don't worry, the prince, although the Jiang Mansion has not been rich all these years, it can still do a good job of opening a porridge shed to help the victims." It just so happened that the Jiang family also opened a rice shop, and today I closed the rice shop, and all the rice was used to help the victims. ”

"Then thank you, old lady." Zhao Xuanyi said.

Old lady Jiang naturally didn't hesitate to pay attention to this bit of rice, looked at Zhao Xuanyi and said, "I heard that the prince is the chief examiner of Chunfu this time?" ”

Zhao Xuanyi frowned slightly, he didn't expect that this name was set, and everyone knew it.

"Well, the original examiner was a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, but the scholar was sick, so he was left to the palace to do it." Zhao Xuanyi said lightly.

Old lady Jiang smiled: "The old minister's little grandson also took the Spring Festival exam this year, but I don't know if I can win."

Old lady Jiang is obviously thinking of asking Zhao Xuanyi to make a guarantee, or reveal some other information, but Zhao Xuanyi naturally won't agree: "The matter of Chunfu." It's all about real skills."

"That's right." Before Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, Lin Qingyu interrupted: "I heard that the son of the Jiang family has only learned people, and this Spring Festival will definitely be on the list." ”

"Lin Qingyu you" Zhao Xuanyi clenched his hands into fists, but cheating in scientific research is a big crime, if people find out, they have to make a big fuss about it.

Lin Qingyu sat steadily, and said with a faint smile: "What about Little Master Jiang?" Available in? ”

"Yes, yes." Old lady Jiang was busy asking someone to call Jiang Rui, Lin Qingyu took the opportunity to raise his eyebrows at Zhao Xuanyi, Zhao Xuanyi saw this, and then swallowed the words in his throat.

Jiang Rui was thinking about how to make Chu Xi suffer a little, but when he heard that the prince wanted to see him, he immediately went to the front yard happily.

Jiang Rui came in and saw his grandfather smiling, and he also stepped forward with a smile.

"Lin Shizi is also here today." Jiang Rui said with a smile.

Lin Qingyu said: "I haven't been in contact with the adults in Beijing for a long time, and now I have come to the Jiang Mansion to visit the old lady by the light of the prince." ”

"I'll just say, you're a fledgling little man."

"Rui'er." Hearing Jiang Rui speak like this, Mrs. Jiang couldn't hold her face a little: "Lin Shizi is a young talent, and he will be reused by the emperor and the prince at a young age, you have to learn more from Lin Shizi." ”

It was rare to see Old Lady Jiang making such a big deal with himself, Jiang Rui hurriedly arched his hand at Lin Qingyu: "Lin Shizi is not strange. I'm used to it. ”

"Then you have to take care of this mouth, otherwise when you enter the officialdom, this mouth is the easiest to attract right and wrong." Lin Qingyu said lightly.

Old lady Jiang listened and nodded, feeling that it made sense, but Jiang Rui felt that he was really sarcastic when he listened: "Lin Qingyu, what do you mean!" ”

"Rui'er!"

"Grandfather, he"

"What's wrong with him, he is the prince of the Marquis of Anping, you are just the son of a third-grade official" Old lady Jiang darkened his face.

"But grandfather, you're not a product"

"You, you stupid" Old Lady Jiang stopped her words, got up and arched her hand towards Lin Qingyu: "My grandson is clever, but he is used to ordinary rules, so don't take it to heart." ”

Lin Qingyu laughed: "It's okay. "The more unruly, the better, otherwise how would the prince send this plague god.

"The prince is going to stay overnight today?" Old lady Jiang said.

Zhao Xuanyi looked at Lin Qingyu, Lin Qingyu smiled and bowed: "The prince and I both heard that the old lady Jiang has always liked to collect ancient paintings, so I came here to take a look, but I don't know if the old lady is inconvenient." ”

"Convenient, of course." The prince stayed overnight, and he naturally couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly asked people to clean up the best two wings.

When they arrived at the courtyard prepared by Mrs. Jiang, Zhao Xuanyi sent them all down, and looked at Lin Qingyu with a calm face: "What is your idea?" ”

Lin Qingyu looked at an old tree with intricate roots in the yard and said with a smile: "The prince always said that he was worried that the Jiang family would not be able to sink one day. It's bad, but in my opinion, Mrs. Jiang is also a good person, and she manages a few rooms under her hands, but this Jiang Rui is used to not talking, what does the prince think it is for? ”

"What else could it be?" Zhao Xunyan sent the guards to guard outside, and walked over indifferently with his hands behind his back: "Old lady Jiang has been low-key for so many years, and it is impossible to say that it is all for me." I released Jiang Rui to dispel my concerns. ”

"Not really." Lin Qingyu shook his head slightly, raised his hand and caught a falling leaf: "The Jiang family is someone's dark chess." ”

"You mean, the Jiang family is not facing me?" Zhao Xuanyi said coldly.

Lin Qingyu looked at the leaf in his hand again, hooked the corners of his mouth, raised his hand and raised it out: "It's not clear yet, but what is certain is that without Jiang Rui, who is bouncing outside, the purpose of the Jiang family will naturally be slowly revealed." ”

As soon as Lin Qingyu's words were finished, the guards came outside: "Prince Qiyu, the eldest prince of the Jiang family asks to see you." ”

The eldest son of the Jiang family is the son-in-law of the big house, with mediocre qualifications. is not treated by the old lady, but he has been working diligently as an errand envoy under Zhao Xuanyi.

Zhao Xuanyi's eyes were slightly deep, and he looked at Lin Qingyu and wanted to ask for an answer, but Lin Qingyu just smiled: "Prince, I'll go back to the room to rest first, and then I'll go with you to appreciate the ancient paintings at night." ”

Zhao Xuanyi understood what he meant, nodded, and turned his head to look at the guard: "Call him to come to my room." So he went back.

Lin Qingyu had just arrived at the room, and Lin Fu said: "I have already investigated, jump out of the window, cross a small lake, and then walk behind the lake, you can go directly to the young lady's yard." ”

"Good." Lin Qingyu raised his feet and was about to go out, Lin Fu frowned: "You really want to go?" ”

"What's wrong?"

Lin Fu thought about it, but still didn't say: "Your subordinates understand, your love for the young lady can break through everything!" ”

Lin Qingyu glanced at Lin Fu: "You go with me"

After a while, Lin Qingyu looked at the bird droppings all over the forest, and his face was slightly dark.

"Lin Fu, I have a habit of cleanliness."

"My subordinates know."

"So there's another way here?" Lin Qing's foolish face was like ashes.

"This is the only way to reach the young lady's residence without using martial arts." Lin Fu's face was expressionless: "Your love for the young lady will definitely break through all obstacles"

Before Lin Fu's words were finished, Lin Qingyu had already turned his head, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Take off your clothes." ”

Lin Fu clasped his hands on his chest and swallowed his saliva. looked at Lin Qingyu coldly: "Master, it's so cold in broad daylight."

"Well, if you don't take it off, I'll come by myself" Lin Qingyu stared at him stupidly.

Lin Fu's heart trembled, closed his eyes tragically, and raised his hand to touch his belt

Lin Qingyu stepped on Lin Fu's clothes, and finally crossed this messy place.

Lin Fu looked at his clothes and couldn't bear to look at them. It's cold when you throw it away, and you feel disgusting when you put it on, this is really the only thing in his life that is difficult to decide, the first thing is whether to follow Lin Qingyu out, he almost regrets it now.

"Do you want to go?" Lin Qingyu looked back at Lin Fu, who was still hesitant even though his face was tense.

Lin Fu looked back at Lin Qingyu: "Master, I'm also your brother for more than ten years, or else"

Lin Qingyu finished speaking directly and had already left.

Lin Fu gritted his teeth, so he had to keep up with his head up.

When Lu Tan saw Lin Fu, he had already laughed for half a while, but Lin Fu was still cold, just pretending not to hear.

Lu Ya was already flushed and didn't dare to look at it, so he turned his head and went to the inner room to get a thin quilt for him: "Why don't you take this and wrap it." ”

"He's so athletic, he won't be wrapped in a quilt like a little girl." Green sandalwood is busy with a serious way.

Lin Fu gave Lu Tan an eye knife, took the quilt handed by Lu Ya, wrapped himself tightly, and then stood straight to the side again.

Lu Tan looked at him, laughed so much that tears came out, and went straight to him: "Hey, have you ever heard of the dish of beef roll enoki mushrooms?" ”

Green Bud glanced at the red floral quilt on Lin Fu's body, didn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Lin Fu's face darkened: "I didn't come to fight with you today." ”

"You're embarrassed to fight" Before Lu Tan finished speaking, Lin Fu opened the quilt and directly wrapped Lu Tan in like a big red scallop, suffocating her mouth

There was a lively fight outside, Chu Xi looked at Lin Qingyu, who was pale and had cold hands and feet, and was so angry that he almost lost his temper: "You really don't want this life!" ”

Lin Qingyu consciously rolled on Chu Xi's bed, wrapped in her quilt: "It's so cold, I want to drink hot tea." ”

With Chu Xi's previous temperament, he must have been too lazy to take care of him, but when he looked back at his pitiful appearance, he hated it so much that he turned his head and poured hot tea.

"What are you going to do?" Chu Xi sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him.

Lin Qingyu finished drinking the tea before he smiled and said: "Come to do something, the youngest son of the Jiang family is a scourge to stay, and I have to let him go to heaven if I have a chance." ”

Chu Xi looked at his indecent appearance, and finally had some smile on his face: "You have to remind the prince of one more thing, I am worried that King Xiaoyao will borrow Li Xiao and deliberately design an attack." ”

"Hmm." Lin Qingyu nodded, with a serious thinking look, and turned his head to look at Chu Xi seriously: "I asked people to brew plum blossom wine again, and now is the time when it tastes the best, will you go with me?" ”

Chu Xi was dumbfounded, and even doubted whether he had listened to her words in his heart.

"I just invited Mei Niang over, I'm afraid she happened to collect a lot of information, we can listen to it while drinking." Lin Qingyu said again.

Chu Xi let out a long sigh: "Where is it?" ”

Lin Qing was foolish: "Lin Fu! ”

The abandoned small courtyard in an unknown corner of the Jiang family was suddenly caught on fire, and the people in the house hurriedly went to put out the fire, and the people who were left behind got together to discuss the small accident, and no one noticed that at the back door of the Jiang mansion, a carriage that had been parked for a long time suddenly drove away.

Lin Fu was driving the horse in front, and Chu Xi was sitting in the carriage, looking at Lin Qingyu lightly: "You have already been ready, right?" ”

Lin Qingyu smiled and took her in his arms: "Zheng Yun is also here, if you want to ask, why don't you ask in person?" ”

Chu Xi remembered Yun Songyi's innocent little girl, but she didn't say anything more.

In order to avoid accidents, Lin Fu drove the carriage along the small paths, with twists and turns, and the only quiet was the sound of the wheels of the carriage creaking and the hooves of horses kicking on the stone road.

"Lin Qingyu"

"It's called Qingyu," Lin Qingyu said.

Chu Xi: ""

"Otherwise, I can accept it if I call it Xianggong." Lin Qingyu held her hand tighter.

Chu Xi smiled hoarsely: "Let me ask you something." ”

"Huh?"

"Why did you come back?" Chu Xi said, Anping Hou and Mrs. Hou have been traveling abroad, there is no shortage of silver or identity, and they live a chic and nourishing life, and Lin Qingyu, as the first pavilion master of the rivers and lakes, also has a Ruyi Fang that makes money every day, it is needless to say that they are chic and comfortable, but why did they all come back and get involved in today's complicated partisan disputes?

Lin Qingyu seemed to have expected her to ask this question, and chuckled: "Well, now that I've told you, you may not understand it very well, because this is not only about Lin Fu's life experience and the safety of the people, but also about a promise that my father gave back then, and when the time comes, I will tell you." ”

Chu Xi wasn't in a hurry, just pure curiosity.

"By the way, your cousin Yang Ci escaped for the time being, and the prince punished him for thinking about it for three months, and he at least has an excuse not to worry about marriage in these three months." Lin Qingyu said suddenly.

Chu Xi raised his eyes and looked at him: "You have a wide range of concerns. ”

"That is, I have to pay attention to my affairs, and I have to pay attention to my daughter-in-law's affairs, otherwise I won't know if you let people bully me one day." Lin Qingyu smiled.

Chu Xi glanced at him lightly: "When you were in the nunnery, did you not happen to pass by, but where did you intentionally go?" ”

"Yes."

Chu Xi saw him confess like this. simply asked the doubts in his heart one by one.

"Is your third senior sister back?"

"Probably." Lin Qingyu rubbed his head against Chu Xi's head.

"She came back to marry you?" Chu Xi said again.

Lin Qingyu saw that she was a little jealous, and said with a smile: "I don't know, I don't rule it out." ”

When I saw him deliberately angry with himself for the first time, he was about to straighten up coldly, but Lin Qingyu hurriedly fished her back into his arms: "You are coquettish with me, so I will say no, death is not, yes and no, and the knife holder on my neck is not." ”

Chu Xi was amused by him and chuckled, and before she could say more, the carriage outside had already stopped: "Master, young lady, it's here." ”

Lin Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression returned to calm, but when he looked at Chu Xi's eyes, he was full of pampering: "Go down." ”

"Hmm."

Lin Fu watched coldly as Lin Qingyu gently helped Chu Xi get out of the carriage, and then grabbed her hand tightly and slowly walked towards the bamboo forest in front of him, his face full of disdain, but the joy in his heart could not be hidden. It would be great if he could really get someone he liked and could take care of him, otherwise what he had suffered in the previous years would have been in vain.

In the bamboo forest. It is still covered with white mist, like a fairyland.

A maid dressed in light gauze came forward to take down the cloak for Chu Xi and Lin Qingyu, Chu Xi looked at the depths of the bamboo forest, and a pleasant sound of the piano came, Chu Xi said: "What a gentle piano sound." ”

"Guess who's playing?" Lin Qingyu smiled faintly.

Chu Ji looked at Lin Qingyu, who was a head taller than himself and stood quietly beside him, as if as soon as he arrived in front of the people of Wuji Pavilion, he began to exude a sense of majesty and alienation.

Chu Ji shook her head slightly, Lin Qing was foolish, took her hand and said, "Let's go, don't be too surprised after you go in." ”

Chu Xi was already surprised when she heard this, and when she followed Lin Qingyu forward for a hundred or ten meters, she saw a man dressed in green clothes with all his hair tied up with a crown facing away from everyone, stroking the guqin on his lap.

Chu Xi looked at this tall and sturdy figure, and then looked at the outline of his side face, but the beard that couldn't be hidden, was indeed surprised.

Looking at the fingers on the piano, although they have become a little rough due to the heavy knife held for many years, the fingers are very slender, the expression is focused, and the sound of the piano is gentle to the bones.

After a song, Zheng Yuncai laughed: "Oh, I haven't played the piano for a long time, but I have my hands raw." ”

"When General Zheng was just playing the piano. Who's in mind? ”

When Zheng Yun heard that it was Chu Xi's voice, he hurriedly turned around, and he couldn't see Yun Songyi left and right, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or happy, he only raised the corners of his mouth: "Of course, what I am thinking about is the breeze and the bright moon, otherwise I can't play such a tune when I think about my brave soldiers." Zheng Yun snorted haha.

Mei Niang came out of the thatched hut, holding a jar of wine on her left and right, and holding a plate in her right hand, on which was placed a wine utensil with red petals of jade.

Mei Niang is still wearing a rose-red wide-sleeved long skirt, half-exposed shoulders, the collarbone on the chest is clear and good-looking, and the ordinary coiled bun is also loosened, only three or four gold and silver hairpins are used to hold it, and the rest are all on the left chest, one step at a time, full of kitsch but not kitsch.

"The young lady is here." Mei Niang walked over and put down the wine and wine utensils, with a hint of refreshment in her actions.

Chu Ji bowed his head: "Qingyu said, I brewed the best plum blossom brew, so I came to taste it, but I am not strong enough to drink, I am afraid that I can't drink more." ”

Listen to Chu Xi's name. Lin Qingyu had a smile on his face, and turned his head to look at the maid waiting behind him: "Let's all go down." ”

"Yes." The delicate and soft voice came, and even Chu Xi felt very comfortable.

Mei Niang poured plum blossom wine for Chu Ji, and in an instant, the faint aroma of plum blossoms spread.

Zheng Yun is a good winemaker, so he directly took the bowl and replaced the wine cup: "Mei Niang, it's full." ”

"Reckless, don't spoil my good wine." Mei Niang scolded with a smile.

Zheng Yun was not annoyed, but he took the wine glass again: "Okay, okay, listen to you, taste it slowly with the wine glass." ”

Mei Niang poured him another glass, but as soon as Zheng Yun raised her head, she smashed her mouth twice, and it was gone: "It's light and light, it doesn't have any taste, Mei Niang, this is not as red as your previous daughter." ”

"I think about getting drunk all day long, is it useful to drink?" Mei Niang looked at him with disgust, and snatched the wine glass from his hand: "Don't waste my good wine like you." ”

"Hehe, I know there's good wine hidden in the house." Zheng Yun laughed, got up and arched his hand towards Chu Xi and Lin Qingyu: "Go down and get some wine." With that, he strode away.

Mei Niang shook her head, and filled Chu Xi and Lin Qingyu again.

"Chu Dai'er's identity has been found." Mei Niang said.

Chu Xi's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly: "I have always been in contact with the people of Southern Xinjiang?" ”

"And that's not all." Mei Niang put down everything in her hand. Only then did he look at Chu Xi: "She has no blood relationship with the young lady, as for the seventh aunt of the Chu Mansion at the beginning, she was originally a little princess who eloped with someone in southern Xinjiang." ”

"Little princess?"

"That's right." Mei Niang said: "When the seventh aunt eloped with someone, the man was killed by the southern Xinjiang royal family, and the seventh aunt was rescued by your father, but your father fell in love with her, so he violated her despite her pregnancy, which is also where Chu Daier hates Chu Bingsong the most." ”

"Aunt Seven is not dead." Chu Xi suddenly guessed.

Mei Niang was slightly surprised, but shook her head slightly: "We haven't found it yet, but I sent someone to check her coffin, and it was empty." ”

"Hmm." Chu Ji bowed her head: "Because the old lady 'poisoned' her with poison at the beginning, she is the princess of Southern Xinjiang, and she must be very good at Gu poison, how can a small bag of poison poison poison poison her, but after giving birth to a child and being poisoned by someone, it is possible that it is true that she suffered a big injury." ”

For Chu Xi's analysis, Mei Niang was very surprised, while Lin Qingyu was dressed and honored.

"If that's the case, then they stayed, just to take revenge on the Chu family?" Chu Ji said.

"I don't know yet." Mei Niang thought for a while and said, "She is currently secretly in contact with the King of Ease. I was worried that they were plotting something, and I was afraid that they would also count you young lady in this matter, so I didn't dare to startle the snake. ”

Chu Xi groaned slightly, thinking about Chu Dai'er's affairs, everything she did seemed to be self-justifying, but it seemed that there was still something missing to make this circle look more complete, but what was it?

Seeing that Chu Xi was silent, Mei Niang chuckled and said, "Young lady, don't think about it too much, this time I came over, isn't it mainly for wine tasting?" ”

Chu Ji blinked, turned his head to look at Zheng Yun who was holding a stall of daughters in the thatched hut behind him, and said with a slight smile: "What is General Zheng's identity?" Rumored to be an orphan. ”

"Almost, if the master hadn't saved him, he would have been fed to the wolves of Mobei by now." Mei Niang smiled.

Zheng Yun heard the sound of talking here from afar, and his heart lifted slightly, but he still walked over: "Young lady." ”

Chu Xi looked at his solemn face: "General Zheng doesn't seem to want me to ask. ”

"Because for me, it's not what I want, and I'm trying my best to get rid of it." Zheng Yun said in a deep voice, and suddenly laughed again, as usual: "Haha, young lady, don't worry, my identity is not as complicated and noble as the few people here." It's just a bit of a hassle to deal with. ”

looked at Zheng Yun grinning with a mouthful of big white teeth. deliberately avoiding this matter with happiness, Chu Xi did not continue to ask.

In the end, the greedy Lin Fu had a good drink with Zheng Yun, Mei Niang kept talking about all kinds of interesting things collected by Ruyifang, and when it was about to get dark, Chu Ji returned to Jiang's Mansion with Lin Qingyu.

"I'll be late in the evening." Lin Qingyu said as he left.

Chu Xi's face was slightly red because she drank a little wine, and her lips were even more red: "Well, it's okay if you don't come back." ”

Hearing that Chu Xi seemed to be talking angrily, Lin Qingyu's eyes bent, so he directly leaned over her against the wall and kissed her, until Chu Xi was numb and a little out of breath, Lin Qingyu let go unsatisfactorily: "Wait for me to come back." With that, he picked her up and put her on the bed, kissed her on the forehead, and then turned away.

Chu Xi lay on the bed, looking at the flowers and birds embroidered on the top of the tent, and for the first time, she felt that this flower and bird was really cute.

When Lin Qingyu came out of the previous room, the guard was full of worry: "Lin Shizi, the prince has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Lin Qingyu smiled faintly, Lin Fu took a rat-gray cloak from the inside and put it on him, and then he followed behind with peace of mind.

"Your prince is in too much of a hurry." Lin Qingyu said as he walked forward. In his heart, when he recalled the intersection of Fang and Xi'er's lips and teeth, the irrepressible throbbing in his heart, when he met Chu Xi, he felt that this day could be so wonderful.

When he saw Zhao Xuanyi, Lin Qingyu smiled and said, "The prince can have dinner?" ”

Zhao Xuanyi sat in the dark, cold: "Where have you been?" ”

"I'm going to explore the way." Lin Qingyu lied without blushing and heartbeat, Zhao Xuanyi stared at him for a long time, stunned and didn't see a flaw, but Lin Fu had a flaw: "He smells of wine." ”

"He was greedy, so I let him drink some." Lin Qingyu was still calm.

Seeing him say this, Zhao Xuanyi only snorted coldly: "Okay, let's go, Old Lady Jiang is afraid that he is already waiting for us." ”

Lin Qingyu followed him to Mrs. Jiang's place.

Chu Xi's side, when the Ning family came over, they happened to see Lu Tan and Lu Ya sitting in the compartment, talking around the charcoal brazier.

"Where's your young lady?"

The two of them hurriedly got up and saluted: "I rested in it, I didn't sleep well all day in the house, and I was born when I got to my wife." Green Sprouts laughed.

Ning looked at Green Sprout with a smile: "I really know how to speak." Go and call your young lady up, the old lady said to discuss the matter of going to the villa tomorrow. ”

Chu Xi listened to this outside and felt a little strange. What else is there to negotiate about going to the villa, unless it is for the child in Jiang Fan's belly

Chu Xi came out of the inner room, glanced at the Ning family, who seemed to have no idea, and followed her to Madame Jiang's courtyard.

Mrs. Jiang was waiting, and when she saw Chu Xi coming, she laughed: "It's a big night, I want you to come over, aren't you angry?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Tan rolled his eyes. It's so polite, why don't you go to find Miss yourself? Now I still ask if I am angry, even if I am really angry, where can I say it in front of you.

However, Lu Tan was angry, but he didn't say a word, and obediently lowered his head and followed behind.

Chu Ji naturally said that she was not angry, so Mrs. Jiang pulled her to sit down beside her, and said with a smile: "Miss Chu is pure and gentle, it is really rare. ”

Chu Ji smiled and didn't say much.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang said again: "By the way, Fan'er wrote to me, Miss Ming'er Chu also brought her favorite osmanthus cake?" ”

"Osmanthus cake?" Chu Xi was puzzled, and when she looked up and saw the calculation in Mrs. Jiang's eyes, she instantly understood: "I didn't bring it"

"Didn't bring it? Oh, Fan'er is now pregnant, and she vomits everything she eats, but this osmanthus cake likes it tightly, and she doesn't vomit when she eats it, and she also says that the child born in the future will be named Osmanthus Cake with a nickname. Madame Jiang laughed to herself, and Ning also smiled kindly as she followed.

Chu Xi pretended to be panicked: "Then what should I do, I don't have anything here?"

"That's it, I just prepared it, you can take it in a while, and give it to Fan'er tomorrow." Mrs. Jiang smiled kindly, but Chu Xi only felt that it was a smiling tiger. I can't do anything to my future grandson, so I let her be the scapegoat.

Chu Xiwaner: "Then thank you Mrs. Jiang." ”

"You're welcome. Fortunately, I asked you to ask, otherwise, I don't know how disappointed I would be with tomorrow's Fan'er. Mrs. Jiang laughed, and then withdrew a red gold bracelet in her hand and gave it to Chu Xi: "You can play with this, I didn't prepare a gift when you came over today." ”

Chu Ji looked at the gold bracelet and smiled, a gold bracelet for a life, Mrs. Jiang can really do this business.

Mrs. Jiang pulled Chu Xi to say a few more words, and then sent her away. After she left, she said quietly: "Now that the child in Fan'er's belly can't be kept, I can only make this decision, otherwise if the prince is angry and blames him, how can I afford it." ”

"Mother, don't be too sad, this is not your intention. If you want to blame, you can only blame Su Guifei for not allowing Fan'er to give birth to her first son, and blame Chu for her bad life, but she broke in at this time. Ning comforted softly on the side.

Mrs. Jiang patted her hand lightly: "Hey, fortunately with you, you are a clever person, you will not be wronged in the future, and I will sell the two rooms in the eldest brother's house for you." ”

"Thank you, Mother." Ning Shi hurriedly said gratefully.

Mrs. Jiang only waved her hand: "It's not too early, you can go down and rest, and Ming'er will go with me." ”

"Yes." Ning Shi withdrew from the room, thinking of Madame Jiang's promise, and his mood improved a lot. The two foxes in the Xianggong room, she couldn't see them for a long time, but Mrs. Jiang arranged to go, and she couldn't get rid of them, but now she has all her thoughts.

She walked happily, but she didn't notice that someone behind her had been listening to their conversation, and when she was gone, she went back.

Chu Xi was followed by two maids from Jiangfu, and Lu Tan caught up from behind and said with a smile: "I don't know what I ate, but I suddenly had a stomachache." ”

"Okay now?" Chu Xi asked.

"Alright. Everything's fine. Lu Tan winked at Chu Xi, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then went back.

In Mrs. Jiang's study, Jiang Rui also stood on the side, pointing to a painting spread out and said: "This is a good thing, it's hard to find a thousand dollars."

He was talking there, and the old lady Jiang seemed to have some smugness on his face.

Lin Qingyu suddenly said: "The prince and I want to stay alone quietly, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Leave alone? What's so good about this. Jiang Rui was a little disdainful, but he didn't show it very obviously.

Old lady Jiang's pupils shrank significantly, but she returned to her mediocre appearance: "Okay, then the prince and the prince are here to watch first, and the old minister will go down and ask someone to prepare some wine, how about it?" ”

Lin Qingyu arched his hand at him: "Then thank you to the old lady." ”

Old lady Jiang laughed, led Jiang Rui out.

Lin Qingyu glanced at Lin Fu, Lin Fu understood, turned around and closed the door, and turned his head to mess up the things on the desk and bookshelves.

"Do you want to find something in the study here?" Zhao Xuanyi said.

Lin Qingyu shook his head slightly: "It's too hard for us to find it ourselves, let him show us the way." ”

"Lead the way?" Zhao Xuanyi was still puzzled, but Lin Qingyu pointed to the beam of the house, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he stepped up.

Zhao Xuanyi was cold: "I didn't expect that I would be a prince in my dignity, but now I want to be a gentleman on the beam." With that, he also went up to the beam in a deep voice.

Old lady Jiang at this time. I was going to leave with Jiang Rui, but I stopped after walking for a while.

He had long heard that the prince of the Marquis of Anping had always done things unexpectedly, and he could always succeed, and when Zhao Xuanyi came over to talk about the victims, he began to feel uneasy, and always felt that he had to be calculated. It wasn't until Lin Qingyu asked to stay alone that the uneasiness in his heart became even heavier.

"Grandfather, what's wrong?" Jiang Rui was puzzled.

Old lady Jiang laughed: "I forgot to ask the prince what kind of wine he likes to drink." ”

"Isn't it over bringing out the best in our house." Jiang Rui said.

Old lady Jiang shook his head: "You go back first, I'll ask." ”

Jiang Rui was a little dissatisfied: "Why are you like an old woman, and you still care about their eating, drinking, and Lazar." ”

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Old Lady Jiang's eyes, but she didn't say anything, and hurried to the study.

Old lady Jiang walked to the door of the study and listened inside, but there was no sound inside, which did not look like she was looking at a painting. He began to panic a little, raised his finger and poked a small hole in the window, and looked inside, but there was still no one to be seen.

Old lady Jiang's heart sank, and she pushed the door into the room with a step, but there was really no one in the room.

"Prince? The Son? He shouted tentatively, but there was no response. Old lady Jiang's face was cold, and she turned her head and walked to the side, and the things next to the bookcase were all messed up. His face sank, and he found a small sculpture that looked unsightly at the bottom of the bookshelf, and when he twisted it to the left, a door appeared on the wall.

Old lady Jiang hesitated for a while, but he still walked in, but he still didn't find anything in his darkroom.

"Where have these two gone?" He muttered quietly.

"Isn't that coming with you?" Zhao Xuanyi's cold voice remembered, and the old lady Jiang was shocked, and his back became cold, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at Zhao Xuanyi and Lin Qingyu with a smile on his face: "How are you?"

"What's the matter, old lady, is it a surprise?" Lin Qingyu narrowed his eyes and escaped an old fox.

The old lady Jiang looked at the big boxes placed everywhere in this room, and Zhao Xuanyi also said coldly: "It turns out that I only know that the Jiang family is thrifty and low-key, and the old lady and several sons are very honest. ”

"These are these" Old lady Jiang searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, but Lin Fu on the side split the box locked by the big iron chain with a sword, and when he opened it, it was full of gold, silver and jewelry.

"Old lady, won't these be all saved by you for so many years and saved for the prince?" Lin Qingyu asked kindly, Old Lady Jiang only hated him.

"Yes. Yes, a small part is reserved for "

"Huh? And the private ones? Zhao Xuanyi said coldly.

Old lady Jiang hurriedly shook his head: "No, these are all reserved for the prince in case you need it." ”

"It just so happens that now there are many people in the disaster, the treasury is unusually empty, and the border is tight, and the war is tight, and this silver can just be used to flush the treasury." Zhao Xuanyi finished his words in one breath.

Old lady Jiang's heart was like a knife, and she reluctantly smiled: "In this case, then you can send someone to transport it away tomorrow."

"No need, the palace came over today, brought dozens of guards, and just let them move out." After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he turned his head and went out.

Lin Qingyu looked at the sad old lady and said with a smile: "The old lady is so loyal and so beneficial to the people, this reputation will definitely spread all over the capital tomorrow, you just wait for the emperor's reward." ”

As soon as Mrs. Jiang heard it, it would be known all over the city, so wouldn't the other master know? When the time comes, you will have to peel off the skin of Jiang Fu alive!

Old lady Jiang looked at Lin Qingyu and widened his eyes, seeing his more fox-like eyes. Old lady Jiang was eighty years old and couldn't be stimulated, and her eyes rolled. Fainted directly.

Lin Qingyu sighed slightly, if you hadn't called your sister-in-law, I wouldn't have planned to move the Jiang Mansion so early, but it's already now, and it may be fate's arrangement to trap you.

After that, he also turned his head and went out, Lin Fu looked at an unusually good-looking cat's eye spar in the box, and after some ideological struggle, he looked at the fainting old lady Jiang: "Do you mind giving it to me?" Don't speak? That's the default, thank you. ”

After Lin Fu finished talking to himself, he took the cat's eye spar and followed out.
