Chapter 46: Zhao Liuyin Comes
Song Qian heard the conversation between Changfeng and the two, walked over and handed the vegetable basket to Yuanbao and said, "Yuanbao, is it okay to help my mother wash the vegetables?" ”
"Yes, mother." Yuan Bao got up and skimmed the long wind and walked straight to the pool in the courtyard.
This caused Changfeng to be a little overwhelmed, and after getting up, he looked at Song Qian, and suddenly asked in a flash of inspiration to ease the atmosphere: "Song Niangzi, what are you eating tonight?" I wanted to eat sweet and sour fish earlier, so I went to the market and bought it, so I bothered you to do it. ”
When the words fell, Changfeng was about to go to fetch the fish, but he didn't want to be stopped by Song Qian's words.
Thinking that Song Qian had something to say, Changfeng turned back and listened carefully. The other party's gaze fell on him, and the bottom of his eyes was unfamiliar like never before, which made Changfeng feel uncomfortable.
"I'm afraid I won't cook anything for the prince in the future, so please go to the restaurant to have a look."
These words made Changfeng stunned, and he hurriedly asked the reason.
If you can't eat what Song Qian cooks, it's even more uncomfortable than seeing An Shishuang and Zhao Liuyin.
Song Qian turned around and sat in front of the stove, and it could be seen that she didn't want to be entangled any more, but she still said patiently: "The prince has a noble status and is a relative of the emperor. The folk girl is not skilled in craftsmanship, and if there is a mistake in eating and causing the prince's old illness or discomfort, she should be punished with death. The people's daughters are just ordinary people, and it is difficult to bear the sins of carrying children, so they can no longer cook food for the prince. ”
If something happens to Ji Changye, all kinds of sins will fall on her, and who will help her at that time?
Hearing this, Changfeng was suddenly surprised, and said very puzzled: "Why does Song Niangzi think so? In the past, my lord liked your craftsmanship the most......"
"In the past, I didn't know the identity of the prince!" Song Qian threw down the firewood in his hand, and when he got up, he blurted out the words, not knowing whether he was venting his question or being unwilling.
Song Qian, who noticed her gaffe, calmed down a lot, her eyes glanced at the room where Ji Changye was and then retracted, "If you have nothing to do, go out, the folk girl is a little tired and wants to be alone and quiet." ”
Changfeng, who knew that Song Qian's thoughts would not change easily, was not good at saying anything, so he could only sigh helplessly and shake his head and leave.
There was a creaking sound of the wooden door behind him, and Song Qian suddenly showed fatigue.
She didn't know how to face Ji Changye these days, and that complex and contradictory emotions made it difficult for her to sleep. Song Qian seemed to have thousands of words to say to Ji Changye, but he couldn't say it the moment he saw him.
What's wrong with her?
Song Qian looked at the blazing stove and threw the firewood into it irritably, and at this moment, Yuan Bao brought back the cleaned vegetables.
"Mother."
Song Qian, who heard the voice, hurriedly calmed down his emotions, and his face was soft when he faced Yuanbao: "Thank you, what do Yuanbao want to eat tonight?" ”
"Isn't Uncle Changfeng going to make sweet and sour fish?" Yuan Bao heard what they said just now, although he was not close to Changfeng according to Song Qian's words, but after getting along for so long, he still thought of them in his heart.
Song Qian touched Yuanbao's head and said, "If Yuanbao wants to eat sweet and sour fish, my mother will go to the market tomorrow to buy fish and come back to make it?" Is it okay for my mother to make braised pork and fried chicken for ingots tonight? ”
Yuan Bao heard the meaning of the words and nodded obediently.
"Alright, let's go play." Looking at the figure of Yuanbao, Song Qian didn't think much about it anymore and turned around and threw himself into the busy.
Changfeng returned to the room, and when he saw Ji Changye reading a book casually, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, why are you still reading?" ”
Ji Changye, who was noisy by him, was a little displeased, and his eyes just glanced at him a few times and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Master, just now my subordinates wanted Song Niangzi to help make your favorite sweet and sour fish, I don't want Song Niangzi to say that she is afraid that something will happen and take the blame, and said that she will not make food for us in the future." Changfeng despised the delicacies that left him, and thought that Ji Changye must be the same.
However, Ji Changye seemed to have known about these things for a long time, and his expression was unusually calm, but the flickering loss in his eyes was captured by Changfeng.
"Since Song Niangzi said so, she can't be forced to do what she doesn't want to do. If it's not a big deal in the future, don't bother Song Niangzi or Yuanbao, do you hear clearly. ”
Getting along day and night for many days has made Ji Changye understand Song Qian's temperament and temperament. knew that she wouldn't take it back easily, and he blamed him for deliberately concealing it.
This would not have been the case if we had been told earlier.
Thinking of this, Ji Changye couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Changfeng didn't understand why Ji Changye did this, more hated iron and steel, and said: "Master, this matter is a misunderstanding from beginning to end. If you and Song Niangzi talk about this matter and it will be over, why torture each other so much. ”
He worked so hard to match the two at the beginning, how could he watch the two estranged.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Song Niangzi and I have been just friends from beginning to end, what can we explain? You do your job, and you don't need to talk about the rest. Ji Changye's tone was suddenly mixed with a bit of anger, which made Changfeng dare not speak again.
Why should there be misunderstandings that are not resolved, but should be so unclear? Changfeng thought to himself.
Under all kinds of pressure, Changfeng could only reluctantly respond: "Yes, my subordinates understand." It's not early, are you hungry? The subordinates went to the restaurant to buy it. ”
Either way, it's important to eat first.
Ji Changye had no appetite, and when he was about to speak, he and Yujin walked in from outside, and said unceremoniously: "This king wants to eat the eight treasure duck, heterozygous soup, bright shrimp roast, seed winter bamboo shoots, and a bowl of meat and rice porridge with honey cake." ”
After hearing this, Changfeng retracted his leg that stepped out of the threshold, and said with a face full of embarrassment: "Lord Jin, this is not the imperial capital, where can my subordinates go to find food in the Jade Noodle Building?" ”
He Yujin sat on the chair, showed a loveless look and said: "Of course this king knows, but the craftsmanship of this restaurant in Sulou Town can't be put on the table. Only this Song lady's craftsmanship is okay, but now it seems that she can't eat it. This king can only say that he is just relieved of his hunger. ”
Hearing this, Ji Changye looked at He Yujin, and the coldness in his eyes made He Yujin suddenly lose his anger.
He was right, and he slandered with Yu Jin.
In order not to be affected, Changfeng hurriedly lifted his feet and left.
"Zhao Liuyin is coming, Brother Ji, have you figured out how to deal with it? I think she must have come for another purpose this time, how could the Queen Mother and her old man not see it? Think of it this way, and you are the one who is being calculated. "It's rare for Yu Jin to be serious.
"What if you calculate? When Zhao Liuyin comes, you can't come forward, so as not to be known by Ji Changhe. ”
He wasn't sure about anything else, but Ji Changye firmly believed that Zhao Liuyin would not expose his whereabouts, but not with Yujin.
In order to protect him, you can't let Zhao Liuyin know.
He Yujin frowned slightly and nodded, the situation has developed to the point where no one wants to see it, but it is useless to say more about the matter at this point.
Before leaving, He Yujin turned back and said, "Actually, you still need to make this matter clear to Song Niangzi, otherwise the misunderstanding will get deeper and deeper." With that, he walked away quickly and disappeared without a trace.
In fact, both he and Yu Jin have seen it in their eyes these days, and they don't care so much about Song Qian's identity. Moreover, this matter was originally unkind to them, if he was Song Qian, it was estimated that he would have driven Ji Changye and Changfeng out of the yard.
I hope Ji Changye can understand the seriousness of this matter, and don't regret it to the point of no return.
However, He Yujin also had troubles, that is, Yuan Bao refused to say a word to him, and he also found an opportunity to explain it to Yuan Bao.
Because of the will of the Queen Mother, Zhao Liuyin's arrival was made with great fanfare, so the big and small officials in the town had to go out of the town to greet each other in person.
Ji Changye also made preparations early, took the carriage to the outside of the town, and saw the huge battle when he got off the carriage.
The county commander turned around and saw Ji Changye hurriedly coming and said respectfully: "It's cold today, you better go back to the carriage first." ”
"No need, thank you for your hard work."
If it weren't for the Queen Mother's will, who would want to do this?
Ji Changye's eyes fell on the official road not far away, and at this moment, a luxurious carriage came slowly.
Seeing this, the county commander quickly bypassed everyone and came to the front, looking very funny from his back.
The others also tidied up their clothes one after another, for fear of losing their manners in front of Zhao Liuyin and losing face in front of the Queen Mother.
When the carriage stopped in front of them, Hongyin got out of the carriage first, and then helped Zhao Liuyin, who was dressed in fancy clothes.
"Waiting for you."
The prefectural commander hurriedly bowed respectfully with everyone.
Although Zhao Liuyin is not the heir of the royal family, she has the queen mother's decree on her, and they will not dare to be rude.
What is incompatible with this is Ji Changye and Changfeng behind the crowd.
"It's hard work for the county magistrate." Zhao Liuyin's gaze swept over everyone, and after hiding the disgust in her eyes, she pretended to return the salute.
She won't pay attention to these people's pretenses.
"The second lady has tormented the ministers, knowing that you came to pray for blessings by the order of the Queen Mother, and the ministers did not dare to slack off, everything had already been prepared, and you could set off whenever you wanted." The county order faintly meant to invite merit, but Zhao Liuyin didn't listen to him at all. Because at this time, she had already seen Ji Changye's figure, and her attention was all on him.
Hongyin saw that she was absent-minded, so she hurriedly reminded secretly.
Zhao Liuyin, who reacted, chuckled and said: "The county commander is thoughtful, after I go back, I will definitely tell the Queen Mother 1510, if the Queen Mother knows, she will be glad that there are courtiers like you in the court." ”
This is in the middle of the county's order, and when he just wanted to make another statement to curry favor, Zhao Liuyin had already skipped him and walked back.
Changfeng saw that people rushed straight at them to remind Ji Changye, but he thought that the occasion was not suitable, so he gave up, and withdrew his hand stupidly.
At this time, Ji Changye's face was as pale as water, and his eyes were indifferent to Zhao Liuyin's approaching figure.
"Lord Wang, we finally met."
I haven't seen him for many years, Zhao Liuyin forcibly hides the joy in his heart, but his affectionate eyes are difficult to rein.
I'm not familiar with it, why are you so sensational? Changfeng thought to himself.
Because of the Queen Mother's will, Ji Changye had to talk to Zhao Liuyin, but there was no sense of closeness.
"You are tired all the way, go to the inn and rest."
Zhao Liuyin hurriedly stopped and turned around to leave Ji Changye: "Does the prince have nothing to say to me?" ”
She came here to see him, she didn't care about these cumbersome etiquette, she just wanted to see what would happen to Ji Changye when she saw her. So after seeing Ji Changye so calm, she was unwilling.
Looking at those expectant eyes, Ji Changye was unmoved, and said in an indifferent tone: "Since you came to pray for blessings by the will of the Queen Mother, you have to think more about praying for blessings." Don't bother to think about other things, otherwise you will be blamed for mistaking the Queen Mother. The prefectural order has already arranged everything, you just have to ask them. ”
After that, Ji Changye turned around and left without any hesitation.
Zhao Liuyin froze in place, she tried to calm her ups and downs, and put away her anger and unwillingness.
Why is he still like this to her after all these years?
"Master, is this too much for Miss Zhao? After all, it was someone sent by the Queen Mother. Although Changfeng was happy that Zhao Liuyin was deflated, he was still worried that Ji Changye would be blamed.
"What can she say to the Queen Mother?"
It is already a great grace for the Queen Mother to agree to her coming, what kind of face does Zhao Liuyin have to tell that she is deflated?
