Chapter 69: Jealousy
In the blink of an eye, it was evening, because A-Yao was not worried about eating the things sent by General Jin, so she took Zhao Qing to cook together.
Huan Ci casually took the book and flipped through it, but Kong Lin was idle.
After being peeked at by him several times, Huan Ci finally couldn't help but look at him: "What have you been watching me do?" β
"Huh?" Kong Lin was stunned for a moment, and asked softly, "When Fang was in the General's Mansion, Miss Huan and Fu Gongziβ"
"It's just an expedient measure to save Zhao Qing, you don't have to care about it at this time." The corners of Huan Ci's mouth hooked slightly, and he looked at him embarrassedly.
Actually, that's true. That's what she thought just now, so she did that, and now she doesn't regret it.
It's just cautious -
"Fu Gongzi seems to be angry." Kong Lin said in a low voice.
Huan Ci looked at the closed door opposite, and chuckled: "Whatever, I don't bother to pay attention to him." β
Kong Linjun raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Huan Ci and moved his gaze back to the book, and then stopped making a sound.
He played with the teacup in his hand, propped his head and looked outside, when he suddenly saw a tall man walk into the courtyard.
"Who is this man?" He muttered to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man walked in, first looked at him in surprise, and then walked towards Huan Ci.
"Ah Ci."
Hearing him call Huan Ci like this, Kong Lin almost didn't hold the teacup in his hand, and looked up at the man.
Huan Ci came back to his senses from the book, and after seeing the person who came, his face was full of smiles: "Why are you here?" β
"I haven't spoken to you in a long time, so I'm going to come and see you." Allian pulled a stool and sat down beside her.
Huan Ci glanced him up and down, only to feel that he had lost a lot of weight: "Why were you in the capital a few days ago?" β
"I helped Ah Yao to save him. Don't you believe me? "The UAE is a little anxious.
Huan Ci naturally understood who he was. She smiled and said, "I believe in you, thanks to you A-Yao, I can live." β
"She's my sister, and it's right for me to save her."
Now Kong Lin finally knew his identity, but he saw that this person was no more presumptuous than an ordinary subordinate, and more presumptuous than the woman named A-Yao, so he was even more curious in his heart.
He furrowed his brows and listened silently to the conversation between the master and servant.
I only heard Huan Ci ask: "Ah Yao said that you have been very close to Lan Fu recently, but the two of you?" β
"It's all A-Yao's assumptions, don't listen to her nonsense." The UAE waved his hand hurriedly.
Huan Ci blinked. Ah Yao didn't say anything, and before she finished speaking, Ah Lian hurriedly denied it, and it was really a little strange.
She suddenly thought of what happened in Lan Fu's room last night, and vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with the United Arab Emirates.
Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Ah Yao, who walked in with a food box.
Ah Yao looked at Ah Lian in surprise: "What a coincidence, I was just about to go to you." β
Without waiting for the UAE to respond, she quickly opened the food box and said with a smile: "Most of them are Miss Zhao's income, and it is very fragrant when you look at it." β
Zhao Qing stood behind her and smiled softly, placing dishes and chopsticks on the table.
"How do you take so many bowls?" Huan asked suspiciously.
Ah Yao looked at the food on the table with satisfaction, crossed her waist and said, "In addition to us, there are also Fu Sanye and his people, don't you care about them?" β
"Can General Jin still starve him? Don't invite him. β
"But I already told Sweeping Leaves when I was at the door." Ah Yao stared at her with big eyes.
At this moment, Huan Ci caught a glimpse of the opposite door being opened from the inside, and then Fu Shen's face appeared in her eyes.
The man saw her at a glance, only to quickly look away.
Huan Ci pursed his lips and beckoned everyone to sit down quickly.
This table was originally not big, but now that there are three more people, it is even more crowded. Besides, everyone had no scruples, but as soon as Fu Shen came, Zhao Qing didn't dare to eat at the table, and Lan Fu also stood still.
Huan Ci had no choice but to pull them down one by one, and when she turned around, Fu Shen was already seated next to her.
"It's all right now." Huan Ci couldn't help but laugh and said, "It would be better if there was wine." β
"Alcohol is not allowed in the army." Fu Shen said in a cool voice on the side.
Huan Ci rolled his eyes. Why didn't he say this when he was in the General's Mansion? Now I think about it.
"If you don't drink it, you won't drink it." She sat down with a smile and waited until she picked up her chopsticks before everyone began to move.
"You don't have to be formal." Huan Ci glanced at everyone, "Otherwise, it's boring." β
But even when she said this, everyone still bowed their heads, and no one said a word.
Huan Ci looked at Fu Shen with a cold face, and only felt that everyone was like this because of him.
But Ah Yao has followed her since she was a child, and Fu Shen was invited by her, she didn't think the atmosphere at the banquet was weird, so she picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a large piece of meat for Ah Lian: "Look at how thin you are, eat more." β
"Yes, you've lost a lot of weight, and you don't look as good as before." Huan Ci agreed with Ah Yao's words very much, and also took a piece of meat and handed it to Ah Lian.
The United Arab Emirates moved the bowl over very naturally, and happened to glance at Lan Fu, who was sitting opposite. The woman was not surprised, but soon she noticed her gaffe, and quickly lowered her head and stared intently at the bowl in front of her.
Huan Ci naturally sensed the abnormality. She looked at the two of them quietly, only to see Lan Fu's face crimson, while Ah Lian looked depressed.
It was so weird that she had to find a chance to have a good chat with the UAE.
She was thinking to herself, when she suddenly saw an extra bowl in front of her, and the bowl was full of soup.
"Miss Huan, this soup is something unique to this place, you can taste it." Kong Lin held the soup and looked at her with blank eyes.
Huan Ci hurriedly took the soup from his hand and chuckled, "Thank you." You just have to eat, don't worry about me. β
"I'm not hungry, I see you didn't eat anything at the banquet just now, and besides, you didn't eat in the morning, so you must have been hungry for a long time."
"Kong Gongzi is really observant." Sweeping Ye suddenly sneered.
Everyone naturally heard the ridicule in his words, and the atmosphere became unnatural again.
Kong Lin glanced at him puzzled, and then moved his gaze to Fu Shen. The man was eating slowly, with no expression on his face, as if he didn't care about what everyone was saying.
Huan Ci glanced at him, turned his head to Kong Lin and said, "This is the sweeping boy, the attendant of Lord Fu." β
"Hahahaha, ahem-"
Ah Yao couldn't hold back her laughter, almost choked on the food in her mouth, and helped Zhao Qing to cough uncontrollably. The United Arab Emirates also hooked the corners of his mouth, and even Lan Fu covered his mouth with a handkerchief.
The corners of Sweeping Ye's mouth twitched, and he glared at Huan Ci angrily, but he only received the woman's smug look.
He turned his head to look at Fu Shen, but saw that the man did not look at the two of them, but stared at Ah Yao who was coughing with his mouth covered.
I can't eat this meal. Sweeping the leaves said.
Sure enough, Fu Shen gently put down his chopsticks, his cold eyes narrowed slightly, and he stood up and was about to leave.
But as soon as he took a step, the woman next to him grabbed him: "You're full after eating so much?" β
A hint of a smile that was imperceptible to others suddenly appeared in Fu Shen's eyes, and he was about to nod his head, when he suddenly heard the woman taunt: "Didn't you keep saying that you wouldn't let me waste food when you were in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Why don't you lead by example now? β
"Fu Sanye must have eaten too much at the banquet, so he is not very hungry now." Ah Yao said softly, "Isn't it, Third Master?" β
Huan Ci smacked his tongue when he heard this. What's going on with this girl? Why have you been cautious lately?
She looked up at the man, who stared at her with burning eyes. It was getting dark, and the lights had been lit in the room earlier, but now the man was standing against the light, and his facial features were even more profound, which made Huan Ci dazzle for a while.
"Thanks to the county lord's wine, Fu is still a little drunk, and now he naturally can't eat."
In the soft light of dusk, Huan Ci only noticed his lips one by one, and didn't react until he walked away.
Except for Kong Lin and Zhao Qing, the rest of the people were naturally confused by the second monk and looked at Huan Ci blankly.
The situation at the banquet suddenly appeared in Huan Ci's mind, even clearer than at that time, and even the taste of wine could make her reminisce.
Huan Ci finally blushed in hindsight, staring at the man's back, his heart beating extremely fast.
She glanced at everyone blankly, lowered her head, almost buried her head in the bowl, and said softly: "Eat quickly, discuss when to leave after eating." β
"Is it so urgent?" Kong Lin asked.
Huan Ci hummed and continued to eat.
After the meal, Sweeping Leaves and Lan Fu hurried back to the house to the west, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
When Sweeping Ye entered, Fu Shen was reviewing the paperwork and never looked up at him.
After being depressed for a while, Sweeping Ye finally stepped forward, half-knelt on the ground and said, "Third Master, I was wrong. β
For a long time, the man did not make a sound. Only the rustling of paper in the dimly lit room.
Sweeping Ye knelt for a while, but he didn't see Fu Shen paying attention to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He secretly raised his eyelids to look at the man, and happened to be caught.
Fu Shen glanced at him coldly: "Finished eating?" β
"Subordinates know their mistakes." The head of the sweeping leaf was lower, but he didn't know why Fu Shen asked.
"What about Kong Lin? Went back? The man asked in a low voice.
Sweeping Ye frowned, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Gongzi Kong followed the county lord back to the room." β
The room fell into an eerie silence again, this time Sweeping Ye didn't dare to raise his head again, and scolded Huan Ci and Kong Lin fiercely in his heart.
It was clearly because of the two of them, but it turned out that he was the one who suffered here now.
After a long time, his legs are also a little numb. Hearing the sound of Fu Shen putting down his pen, he secretly moved his legs, but raised his head in shock because of the man's next words.
Looking at Fu Shen's gloomy face, he hurriedly answered yes and limped outside, the back was so funny that a smile appeared on the corner of Fu Shen's mouth.
When he heard the news, Huan Ci was shocked with words on his face. She crossed her waist and looked at the tall sweeping leaves, because of his words, she laughed angrily: "Is he crazy?" Leaving for the big night? And in such a short time, how can it be cleaned up? β
"The girl can stay here by herself, and we're going to leave right now." Sweeping Ye glanced faintly at Kong Lin behind her, and then looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
