Chapter 118: Birthday Cake

"Even if this palace is only for you, what are you angry about?" Li Qing looked at him helplessly, and looked at the person who was still snoring from the corner of his eye and said: "Today, this palace also wants to tell Lord Zuo Xiang another thing, the princess of this palace, this palace has been found, and has also discussed with her, and when she stays in March next year, she will marry her in person." Although there is still more than half a year before the March Day of next year, the palace is ready to welcome her into the Qingchen Hall with the most noble and complicated etiquette of the Celestial Empire, and there are still many things to prepare for this time, and I don't know if there are any characteristics and rules and customs that need to be followed in this Su Mansion, and I want to come over to discuss with him today how to proceed with the specific details. Now it seems...... That's it, today's discussion can't be completed, and it doesn't hurt to come to the door again another day, in general, in order to satisfy the princess of this palace, this palace will never complain even if she breaks her leg. ”

Su Qingmo stared straight at him, intending to see how thick this person's skin was.

Liqing was secretly happy to bow her head in her heart: "What are you doing looking at this palace like this?"

Su Qingmo shook her head and said in a moment: "I just think that the National Teacher's face seems to be a little swollen tonight, but the National Teacher has not been injured, it should be a problem with the light in this room." ”

"......" jumped a few times from the green tendons on Qing's forehead, and this woman was indirectly saying that he was thick-skinned? What a bold man! If he didn't fight for three days, he would go to the house and remove the tiles, and when he went back, he would see how he cleaned her up.

However, he couldn't refute it now, so he could only grit his teeth and glare at her, and go back with her.

When the two of them left, Su Linyu, who was originally asleep with Zhou Gongyu, slowly raised his head.

Those clear eyes, where is half a point of sleep. Looking at the open door in a daze, he began to think about the words that Li Qing said before leaving.

Listening to the meaning of his words, it seems that his cousin has been found by him and is still with him?

No, he has to tell the uncle and aunt the news quickly.

Ji Qingshui frowned after hearing this: "You mean Mo'er is in the palace at this time?"

Li Yan asked anxiously: "The palace, what is she doing in the palace? Is she really with that teacher who is neither male nor female?"

Her adjective, which is neither male nor female, made the men sitting there couldn't help but cough lightly.

It is estimated that they are all thinking in their hearts: If they can grow into the appearance of the national teacher in the next life, even if they are described as neither male nor female, they are willing.

Facing the pair of eyes beside him, Su Linyu groaned and said to his father: "Dad, don't you think it's unusual for the National Teacher to come to our Su Mansion today?"

"It's strange, it's strange. Su Ming nodded and repeated these two words.

Su Linyu also nodded, in fact, he didn't expect his father to give him a decent answer at all.

Turning his head to look at Ji Qingshui and his wife, he said, "Uncle, uncle, my nephew has two guesses in my heart now, I don't know if you want to hear it." ”

Ji Qingshui patted Li Yan's shoulder comfortingly, and raised his hand at him: "Let's hear it." ”

"One, I guess that the teacher who left the country already knows the identity of you and the eldest uncle, and also knows that you and my father are siblings, otherwise he would not have personally gone to Moyan Daoguan to propose to the eldest uncle, and he would not have chosen to visit Su Mansion tonight. The second is that I listened to his tone before, my cousin should be with him, as for what made her not contact your second elder, my nephew can't say now, but it should rule out the possibility that she was imprisoned by the national teacher. If he was imprisoned, then why did he reveal it to us?"

"Why? If that girl hadn't been trapped, why wouldn't she have contacted us for so long, let alone on a special day like today. Mo'er has been sensible since she was a child, almost when she was more than two years old, and she looked like a little adult, but when she was more than two years old, on the birthday of me and his father, we each prepared a birthday gift. After that, every time I saw it, on the birthday of my father and me, she would go to the kitchen to prepare a pastry for us......"

Ji Qingshui rolled his eyes at her when he heard the two pastries, and interrupted her impatiently: "What pastry? Mo'er said that thing is called cake! I have explained to you for more than ten years, and you haven't ...... yet" The one behind squeaked when Li Yan stared straight at him.

Li Yan retracted her gaze with satisfaction, and continued with Su Linyu: "She once told us that as long as we don't grow old or die, she will accompany us every year of our birthday." If she is really in the palace at this time, then there is no reason for her not to contact us, so I don't agree with your second point of view. ”

Su Linyu nodded, and several people looked at each other again, and no one spoke, but Su Ming said with a worried face: "If the relationship between me and my eldest brother is really known by the departure teacher, then the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Who knew that Su Linzi suddenly chuckled at this time: "Dad, you are too worried about the sky." Judging by the attitude of the national teacher today, he should have already known the secret between you and the uncle, if he is really selfish, then there is no need to deliberately choose this day to reveal it to us. ”

"Then what do you say, why is he like this today?"

Su Linzi and Su Linxiu, Su Linyu glanced at each other, and they all saw the smile in each other's eyes, and finally Su Linxiu spoke: "I look at the national teacher, I should be interested in our cousin." If he really wanted to marry his cousin into his Qingchen Palace, the background behind that cousin would definitely not be known to outsiders. This should be why he deliberately added the list of cousins to the list of concubines in the first place to hold the concubine selection banquet. ”

Su Ming frowned and thought about it, and after a while, he suddenly laughed, patted his thigh and said, "I see, I see." I can't imagine that kid will have such a day, hum, how can he be stronger? In the end, he didn't put his heart on our Su girl. ”

Su Linyu's brothers also looked at each other and smiled, but Ji Qingshui and his wife, who were sitting on the side, did not have any expression on their faces.

A few people had to touch their noses and bow their heads in embarrassment.

"Big brother, say something, what to do next, I listen to you. Su Ming understood Ji Qingshui's mood at this time, so he spoke.

Ji Qingshui glanced at him, and then glanced around the three brothers: "I haven't inserted eyeliner in the palace before, but I didn't expect Mo'er to be involved in the people in the palace in the end." Now whether Mo'er is really in the Qingchen Palace, he still has to send someone to investigate the truth first. If she is really in the palace, let's think about it in the long run. ”

Su Linyu took the initiative to stand up and said to Su Linyu: "Uncle, this matter will be handed over to the little nephew, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer in three days." ”

Ji Qingshui nodded: "Well, now that you know the identity of me and your eldest aunt, it is still inconvenient for me and your eldest aunt to contact you alone, if you need to find us for anything, just tell your father, your father knows how to contact us." ”

All three brothers nodded in understanding.

Ji Qingshui and Li Yan glanced at each other and nodded, then stood up and said, "It's not early tonight, let's go back first, and in three days, I will come back again." ”

When Su Ming heard this, he quickly stood up and asked, "Big brother and sister-in-law, ...... you Aren't you going to stay overnight at our house tonight?"

Ji Qingshui shook his head: "We still have things to do tomorrow, so we won't stay overnight." Tonight......" looked at the three brothers of the Su family, and said with some appreciation: "Tonight, the uncle sees the future of our Su Mansion in you, Su Ming, I have never regretted the decision of the year, and you don't have to treat us with that kind of look as if you owe me money, Su Mansion has today's status, you Su Ming has contributed a lot, I am very happy, I didn't make the wrong choice back then, I didn't look at the wrong person." ”

"Big brother......" Su Ming's eyes were a little red when he turned his words. In the past few decades, he has been working hard for the status of Su Mansion in the capital, in order not to live up to his eldest brother's determination to give him the position of head of the family.

Who knew that Ji Qingshui then said with a proud face: "Of course, don't float to the sky just because I praised you twice, as my younger brother, what you are doing now can only be regarded as barely passing." ”

"......" Su Ming is a lot older, and he has already practiced not showing his emotions, but he broke his skills in front of this big brother.

Encouraging a pair of goldfish eyes to stare at the person with an angry face, Su Ming said that he really couldn't look at him, and he was annoyed that he had been squeezed into his mother's belly with him in the first place.

This was true decades ago, and it is still true today, decades later.

Seeing that he lowered his head and didn't speak, Ji Qingshui shook his eyes away, and asked in a light tone, "What's the matter?"

"Don't dare to ......" Su Ming lowered his head.

"Well, then we'll go back first, you don't have to send it. ”

The three brothers next to him saw such a weak side of their father for the first time, indicating that they all widened their eyes in disbelief and rubbed their eyeballs again. Then they all worshiped the backs of Ji Qingshui and Li Yan leaving with a look of admiration, and they were stunned.

said that there was no need to send them, but Su Ming still sent them to the side door of Su Mansion, until the two figures gradually disappeared into the darkness, he retracted his gaze, but the emotions in his eyes were still surging.

After a long time, he turned around and was about to go back to the house, when he saw the three sons behind him who had no time to hide, and remembered the scene where the eldest brother had just lost his face in front of them, and immediately his eyes glared at him and blew his beard: "What do you see? Go back to the house and sleep for the old man! If anyone dares to tell what happened tonight, see that the old man doesn't break your dog's legs!"

At that moment, the three of them hurriedly dispersed.

Several people were thinking in unison: Alas...... It seems that only the uncle in this world is the nemesis of the father.

Ji Qingshui and Li Yan did not return to their respective posts that night, and it was indeed unsafe to walk up the mountain at night.

They came to a common house somewhere in the capital and stopped.

This is also the first time that Su Qingmo set up a stall on the streets of the capital to tell fortunes, he would return to this house to change clothes and rush back to the stronghold on the mountain, which was a house that Su Qingmo specially placed for their family in the capital a few years ago.

It is used for holidays and is convenient for a family of three to reunite.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu opened the door together, and when they saw them coming in, both of them had their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly welcomed them in.

Li Yan sat in the living room and looked at the mysterious smile on the faces of the two girls, and raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter? What good things have happened to you today?"

As soon as she said this, Ji Qingshui, who was drinking from the teacup, also glanced at the two of them, but he didn't squeak, but his heartbeat was a little faster.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu glanced at each other, and then Xiao Liu turned around and went to the inner hall, and Xiao Wu said: "Master, madam, if you want to know what happened, then you have to close your eyes first." ”

Li Yan and Ji Qingshui glanced at each other, the scene was too familiar, and the eyes of both of them were a little excited, but they forced themselves to calm down.

Li Yan glared at Xiao Wu: "What's the matter, you quickly say, you two people have been mixed with Miss all day long, and even her temperament has been changed by her." ”

Xiao Wu sneered when he heard this, and began to shake his head and say after learning from Su Qingmo's appearance: "Madam, Miss said that this is close to Zhu is red, and close to ink is black." Now that you say so, in your opinion, is the young lady red or black?"

Li Yan couldn't help but laugh when she looked at her: "You little girl, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your guts have grown fat, right? Look at me for a while and don't tear your little mouth." ”

Xiao Wu was not threatened at all, and turned to them with a pleading face: "Ah, Xiao Liu is about to come out, madam, master, you just listen to the slave and close your eyes." ”

Li Yan still wanted to speak, but Ji Qingshui pulled her and closed her eyes first. He couldn't wait to find out what happened next.

Xiao Liu walked lightly, walked over with a big box in his hand, and after opening the box, there was a large and round three-layer cake inside, and both of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Then they looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Liu put a sign with the number 65 written on it on the cake, and Xiao Wu took a fire fold out and lit the candle at the top of the number card.

When the candle was lit, the two men began to blow out all the candles in the house.

The room was plunged into darkness for a moment, and a small candle flickered in the dark room on the only three-tiered cake.

After doing all this, the two looked at each other and smiled again, and said together: "Master, madam, you can open your eyes." ”

The two Yiyan opened their eyes and looked at the big cake in front of them, their eyes were red, but they were still slightly disappointed.

Li Yan is fine, but his eyes are red.

But Ji Qingshui, who looked at the five big and three thick, bald head and big ears, was crying like a child, with snot and tears all over his face.

Seeing Li Yan's face was disgusted.

Seeing this, Ji Qingshui glared at her and threatened: "If you look at me with this expression again, I won't give you this cake." ”

"You ......" Li Yan glanced at the cake, then at him, then sighed, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the things on his face carefully.

While enjoying the service of the beautiful woman, Ji Qingshui looked at the two girls in front of him and asked, "Say, what's going on, why didn't my heart and soul appear here." ”

Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu's eyes were also slightly red at this time, Xiao Liu sniffed and said: "Master, madam, here's the thing, at dusk, not long after you went out, a strange man knocked on the door, put this cake in the slave's hand, and then left without looking back despite the slave's questioning." ”

"Then you didn't go out to chase it?"

Xiao Wu took over the conversation: "Master, I chased him out at the time, but Xiao Wu was useless, and he was thrown off by that person before he could chase five miles away." ”

Li Yan looked at the cake in front of him and said in a low voice: "This cake must be from Mo'er's hand, and I am afraid that she is the only one in this world who can make such tricks." ”

"Apart from this cake, what other letters are left?" asked Ji Qingshui.

"Yes, the slave found a letter in this cake box. Xiao Liu handed Six to Ji Qingshui.

Ji Qingshui opened the envelope with two brushes, pinched the corner of the snow-white stationery, and a complete letter was revealed in front of them.

I saw that the text above was written horizontally, with an occasional punctuation mark in the middle.

Ji Qingshui's hand holding the letter paper trembled a little: "This trace was written by my heart and liver, and it was written by my heart and liver by hand." In this world, I'm afraid that except for you and I who can understand these punctuation marks, only Xinhu'er is the only one who understands this. ”

Li Yan nodded, her face was also a little excited, but when she saw the content of the letter, her face immediately turned cold.

"This dead girl even said that she would not come back until half a year later. I think she's out there!"

Ji Qingshui patted her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, she will say this, there must be something to do at hand." Our heart is different from other girls, she knows what she is doing. ”

"She knows! If she knew, she wouldn't say that. In another half a year, wouldn't that mean that she won't come back for even another year? It's okay if she didn't come back to spend your birthday with you, but which family has a child who travels abroad and won't be at home when the New Year comes? Besides, she will be 16 years old after the New Year, and other girls are married and have children at her age, so we don't ask her to marry so early, but at least we should book her relatives in advance, right? How can she go crazy outside so carelessly?" Li Yan said as she began to burst into tears.

Ji Qingshui took her into his arms with a distressed face, thought about it and said: "Regarding Xin'er's marriage, in fact, she has already told me that she will never consider marriage if she is less than twenty years old, I ......"

"Ji Qingshui, don't tell me that you promised her!" Li Yan suddenly jumped up from his arms and pointed at his nose and shouted.

Li Yan's eyes were too sharp, and the frightened Ji Qingshui unconsciously swallowed his saliva: "This...... I...... I thought I probably agreed to her, but I don't remember it now. ”

"You...... You old bald donkey, a good daughter is because she followed you all day when she was a child, so she will become like she is now, it is because of you, the more she grows up, the more she will have ideas, the more she will not listen to me, I knew that you would teach her like this, I would rather raise her by myself than tell you that she exist......s! You get out of here, mother! I don't want to see you now!"

If Li Yan was really angry, Ten Ji Qingshui would not be her opponent, of course, Su Qingmo was an exception. As long as Su Qingmo comes out, a few words can smooth Li Yan's fiery temper.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, who were hiding on the side, very much hoped that their omnipotent young lady could descend from the sky and subdue the lady who was in a rage.

It's a pity that their wishes have always been not very bright, and this time is no exception.

Ji Qingshui was stunned by Li Yan's roar, and his eyes began to swirl on the cake at the door and on the table.

Li Yan saw that he didn't move, he was extremely angry, glared at him and roared again: "What are you doing in a daze?

Ji Qingshui opened his mouth and said, "Then can I roll with the birthday cake that my heart and liver made for me?"

"It's beautiful, what do you say?" Li Yanyin looked at him and asked coldly.

Ji Qingshui shuddered, but still resisted the pressure and said bravely: "Then can you give me half of it, how can you say that I am the birthday star, and you can share half of me?"

The last water word of "Ji Qingshui ......" was deliberately dragged out.

Ji Qingshui, who was frightened, hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt her words and said, "Ah, I know, it's all for you, it's not okay to leave it to you." After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room.

His pitiful appearance made Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu on the side unbearable.
