Although such a long time has passed, the three of them get along in the same way as they did when they were in Vientiane City. Xu Yuan and Xu Xinyao walked in front and chatted while walking, while Ran Qingmo hung in the back without saying a word, and only occasionally mentioned her that he would reply with phrases such as "oh", "good" and "um".

The three of them soon came to the main courtyard in front of the snow creaking, and as soon as they pushed the door open, Xu Yuan saw Xu Changge, who was dressed in a celadon color dress, slowly placing several porcelain bowls on the table in turn, a large plate full of dumplings was already in the middle of the table, and there were some breakfast snacks next to it, which should have been made by Xu Changge himself.

When he got closer, Xu Yuan took a look and realized that Xu Changge had carefully prepared a dipping sauce for the three of them.

Xu Yuan's dipping dish was spicy, Xu Xinyao's was sweet and sour, and Ran Qingmo adjusted a vinegar dish decently because she didn't know her taste.

Domineering but careful.

A glance at the usual contrasting means of scumbags.

No wonder Xu Changge's bullshit can also deceive the little Heavenly Master Sister in the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

Just thinking about it, Xu Changge's gaze swept over, and after seeing Xu Yuan's loose clothes and slightly damp scattered long hair, his brows wrinkled unconsciously.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, what kind of system did it become?

But in the next moment, Xu Changge's brows also relaxed.

Helpless.

These third brothers have been virtuous since they were children, no matter how they beat, they still do their own thing, and this is probably the case in this life.

You can't change it, you can only adapt to it.

"Sit."

After spitting out a word, Xu Changge sat on the main seat without even looking at Xu Yuan.

If you look at the incoming gas, it will be easy to beat people, so you don't look at it at all.

Xu Yuan also glanced at Xu Changge.

This person has a sick brain, right, and he has a stinky face early in the morning of the first day of junior high school.

However, Xu Yuan was not polite, after all, it was his own home, and he sat opposite Xu Changge, and then glanced back at Ran Qingmo, only to see that this big ice mounds were staring at the seat in a daze.

Ran Qingmo hesitated.

The master said that when you go to someone else's house as a guest, you should be polite when you get off the seat.

The quiet gaze kept swirling on the chair under Xu Yuan's buttocks.

According to the etiquette, she should sit in the last seat now, but Xu Yuan, who is in the last seat, has already been seated

Seeing this, Xu Xinyao, who was on the side, stepped forward and took her hand, led her to the left seat and sat down, and laughed softly:

"Sister Qingmo, don't pay attention to these things at home, just sit casually."

"Oh"

Ran Qingmo replied lightly, and then carefully glanced at Xu Changge on the main seat.

Compared with the third brother who was angry at home, Xu Changge's attitude towards Ran Qingmo was soft, and he nodded at her with a cold face, which was regarded as acquiescing to Xu Xinyao's statement.

After sitting down one after another, Xu Yuan asked softly while holding the meat dumplings:

"Xu Changge, what about my father and uncle, don't they eat breakfast together?"

Xu Changge paused the movement of his hand, glanced at Ran Qingmo, who was still standing at the table and was not seated, before he replied coldly:

"There is news from the palace that the emperor asked the celebrant to start preparing the chariot of the Son of Heaven at the beginning of the day."

The tone was indifferent, but the words contained a rather big secret in the Prime Minister's Mansion, just as the whereabouts of the leaders of the country in the previous life were all top secrets, and there were only a few people who could receive the news of the Son of Heaven's travel in advance.

In other words,

The Prime Minister's Mansion has a shadow buried in the palace, and his status is very high.

Telling Ran Qingmo this is a trust in her, but it is also a test for her.

Hearing the meaning of Xu Changge's words, Xu Yuan frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.

This kind of thing is always unavoidable.

Ordinary people's backtones towards their heirs and partners will seem redundant and exaggerated, but it is necessary to put them in the prime minister's house.

Especially Ran Qingmo is still the only apprentice of the national teacher.

Subconsciously glanced at Ran Qingmo, Xu Yuan wanted to see her reaction, but the big ice lump did not react at all.

The dumplings full of porcelain bowls were swishing there, and Xu Changge's dumpling filling seemed to suit her taste.

Seeing Xu Yuan's gaze, Ran Qingmo subconsciously paused, raised his dark and clear eyes to look at him, and his fair cheeks bulged.

Chewing quickly and swallowing, Ran Qingmo asked softly:

"What's wrong. Xu Yuan? ”

At this moment, Xu Yuan felt that he was quite stupid, really.

"Nothing."

Shaking his head, Xu Yuan sighed lightly, looked at Xu Changge and replied:

"I started to prepare. Then the emperor's old man's chariot should be almost here. ”

"There should be a quarter of an hour or so left in the math."

While eating dumplings, Xu Changge replied softly: "It takes about an hour for the Prime Minister to reach the palace at the speed of the Son of Heaven's chariot, and the New Year's feast will start chanting and praying for heaven at the end of the year. ”

"That's right, my father is the master, and he has to preside over this matter."

Saying that, the smile on the corner of Xu Yuan's lips was a little embarrassed: "I knew that this was the case, why did I come to invite my father out of the mountain in person with a sick body, and after this incident, my father's prestige above the court is estimated to have to go to a higher level." ”

Xu Changge didn't reply to this, and he didn't seem to want to discuss political affairs at breakfast on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan also changed the topic with interest, and asked with a smile:

"By the way, don't you have to go to the New Year's feast, I remember that you seem to have an official status, right?"

As the eldest son of Prime Minister Dayan, Xu Changge, who was cultivated as the future heir of the Prime Minister's Mansion, naturally has an official status.

After returning to Beijing from a trip, Xu Changge won the fifth place in the 34-year examination of Jiajing.

This is indeed worse than the high school champions of the second brother Xu Changan and his father, but it is actually not easy, after all, the eldest brother's brain is basically full of muscles.

And after gaining fame, Xu Changge was named in the national prison for three years, and then he rose all the way to the position of Taishi Ling, who was in charge of astronomy, calendar, and history.

According to the law of Great Yan, Xu Changge, the Taishi Ling, should actually assist Taifu to preside over the New Year's Banquet.

Regarding this question, Xu Changge raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Yuan, and slowly spit out a sentence:

"The princess and lady at the New Year's banquet are very annoying."

“.” Xu Yuan.

The meal was eaten in silence, and Xu Changge didn't clean up the dishes and chopsticks, so he left directly.

According to the rules of the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, whoever cooks does not need to wash the dishes and chopsticks.

Of course, Xu Yuan can't wash dishes, and he won't be able to do it in this life, so under normal circumstances, this job falls on Xu Xinyao's sister.

But today there is one more Ran Qingmo.

After eating it, Da Bingtuozi took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Shi Niang said,

After going to Di'an City, I finished eating at someone else's house and couldn't sit still.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan didn't sit still, and got up directly and started to help, and it was this act of helping to wash the dishes that made him angry with Xu Xinyao's yin and yang for a few words.

Just as the three of them put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out of the inner kitchen while talking and laughing, a subdued eunuch voice suddenly resounded in the sky of the Prime Minister's Mansion:

"The emperor has arrived—"

Li Yaoxuan arrived as scheduled.

I personally came to visit the prime minister who had already come out of the mountain again.

Xu Xinyao glanced at Xu Yuan, slightly nervous, as if he was worried that his life would be exposed.

Ran Qingmo followed Xu Yuan expressionlessly.

Xu Yuan didn't care and continued to walk towards his courtyard.

The chaotic array in the inner courtyard has been activated, even if Li Yaoxuan is a saint, it is impossible to probe the important place of the inner courtyard under the nose of that old man.

And it is impossible for the two old men to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for too long, this kind of thing that can be seen through and not said is not broken, and as soon as you talk about it, you will come down by giving each other a step.

“.”

“.”

The alley was slender and covered with snow, coming out of the inner kitchen, the three of them stepped on the snow and walked out for more than ten zhang, and Ran Qingmo, who had been following Xu Yuan's buttocks, suddenly stopped at the entrance of the inner courtyard and stopped to look at the sky.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan subconsciously stopped and asked softly:

"What's wrong?"

Ran Qingmo groaned slightly, and replied honestly:

"Xu Yuan, my master is also here."

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised:

"Came with the emperor?"

Ran Qingmo shook his head:

"It's not."

Saying,

She raised her slender and white index finger and pointed to the courtyard door next to her, and whispered:

"He seems to be outside the door right now, asking me to open the door for him."
