The two met eye contact.

An Qien was warmly blessed: "Brother Bochu." ”

Lu Bochu bowed slightly politely: "Sister Qien." ”

He should have called her Madame, but there were many people on the street, and it was better to avoid suspicion than brother and sister.

After a greeting, the two strangers didn't know what to say.

Lu Bochu suddenly thought of something, and took out the jade hairpin he had just bought.

He said apologetically: "Last time, I unintentionally hit you in the face with a loquat, and this hairpin was given to you, so it should be regarded as an atonement for your sins." ”

An Qien sighed in his heart, there is a difference between men and women, and it is not okay to say two more words, let alone receive gifts.

And he is the prince, although Lu Bochu said that he doesn't have to care about his identity, just call his brother.

But the prince is the prince, you can call your brother, and you still have to have a sense of awe.

"Brother Bochu, you don't have to take the last incident to heart, I won't accept the hairpin, thank you Brother Bochu for your kindness."

She was respectful and respectful, and she didn't lose any courtesy.

Lu Bochu's eyebrows frowned imperceptibly, he knew why she didn't accept it.

It's just a hairpin, and it's worn on anyone's head.

Lu Bochu turned his hand and put the jade hairpin on the head of the eunuch Agui beside him.

"That's cheap, it's expensive, well, it's pretty good."

Ah Gui wiped the cold sweat silently, and felt weird in his heart to bear this sudden gift.

Qingbi and Bai Lu were both amused, and the two of them pinched their handkerchiefs and pursed their lips to hold back a smile.

Lu Bochu generously resolved the embarrassment.

An Qien smiled slightly, and was about to say goodbye when he heard Lu Bochu say.

"It's not too early, Sister Qien should go home early, otherwise your mother-in-law will let you stand in the way."

He was just joking, meant to make her relax.

An Qien's face was not turbulent, he still smiled faintly, bowed slightly, and left with the maid.

Lu Bochu frowned, looked back at An Qien's back, and muttered in his heart: "It seems that it is not going well in the Hou Mansion." ”

Ah Gui also looked behind him, wondering and asked, "What is Childe looking at?" ”

Lu Bochu retracted his gaze, glanced at the hairpin on Agui's head and said, "Put it away for Zining." ”

Agui took the hairpin and put it away: "Princess Zining must like it." ”

This hairpin Lu Bochu was originally bought for Zining, and he happened to meet An Qien on the way.

A friend's sister, he also really treats him as a sister, and it's normal to send a hairpin.

I didn't expect her to be so self-contained and conformist.

But thinking of her identity, I can understand that she is careful everywhere.

Lu Bochu and Agui continued to walk forward and came to the old place, Changfeng Tower.

As soon as he entered the teahouse, Lu Bochu went up to the second floor under the warm greeting of the shopkeeper.

The second floor is generally occupied by scholars or high-ranking people.

The tea set is the best Ru kiln celadon, and the tea is also the precious Cangshan snow green.

After Lu Bochu sat down, he patiently waited for his friend to arrive.

Suddenly, he heard three or two men behind him talking.

"Brother Qiao, you don't have to worry about it, Your Majesty has given you such a good marriage, your wife is well-known in the capital for being virtuous and well-mannered, and she will definitely rise to prominence in the future." Li Renfeng really envied Qiao Jianghong.

"What Brother Li said is very true, the imperial examination is about to begin, Your Majesty just doesn't have time to see you at the moment, the day you see you, it must be the day you soar, and then we will all touch the light of the Hou Mansion." It was Zhuang Dawu who spoke.

Qiao Jianghong listened to this meeting, felt a lot more comfortable, and raised his glass to drink tea with the two.

After taking a sip of tea, Qiao Jianghong said in his heart: "The two brothers don't know, there is joy in the family, my aunt is pregnant, and in the future, there will be a lot of brothers and sisters, and I will inevitably worry about my career." ”

The two congratulated Qiao Jianghong and said some words.

Li Renfeng said suddenly: "In other words, Brother Tai and Mrs. have been married for so long, my aunt is pregnant, and Mrs. should be soon, Brother Qiao, this is really a steady stream of blessings." ”

Zhuang Dawu also said a few words enviously, and suddenly sighed and said: "It's not like my family, there has been no movement for a few years, I think about taking a break." ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhuang Dawu felt miserable in his heart, and took a sip of tea from his teacup.

Li Renfeng said a few words and then pulled it to the concubine: "Brother Tai relaxes, the wife is not moving, Dona concubine, it is still easy to spread the branches." ”

Zhuang Dawu agreed: "It's also a method, the house will accept five concubines at once, don't worry." ”

Thinking of Xinna's concubine in the mansion, Zhuang Dawu grinned.

Speaking of concubines, Li Renfeng often asked Qiao Jianghong when chatting about family: "Brother Qiao, there is only a concubine room in your house, I have to say a few words, your wife is not thoughtful in this regard." ”

Qiao Jianghong smiled faintly and said, "It's good to have a wife, a concubine and a lover." ”

Zhuang Dawu immediately tasted the mystery in his words and asked, "Who is this lover?" ”

Qiao Jianghong said complacently: "It is a person who shares my heart and is also a candidate for a concubine, so I will accept it on an auspicious day." ”

Men are also very good at gossiping, Li Renfeng asked: "That woman is as beautiful as a flower with your wife?" ”

Qiao Jianghong shook his head and looked affectionate: "This has nothing to do with beauty, my wife is virtuous but not as good as her." ”

Zhang Dawu was quite touched: "It's a reason, that is, the housekeeper is a good hand, usually I dislike it at a glance, let alone go to her house." ”

Qiao Jianghong said: "Your wife's housekeeper is a good hand, this is something that can be used, and my brother still has to think deeply." ”

An Shi'an's face turned green with anger, he clenched his fists, and as soon as he came up, he heard the conversation between the three of them.

Hear the end, the housekeeper is good, can be used? He was always steady, and he couldn't suppress the fire that surged up in his heart, and rushed to Qiao Jianghong in three or two steps.

Boom!

An Shi'an slammed the table with a fist deafeningly, and the tea set swayed and spilled water on the table.

Qiao Jianghong was startled, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Brother in-law." ”

Lu Bochu took a sip of tea calmly, put down the tea set and walked over.

At this time, An is also good-natured, if his Lu Bochu's sister was so humiliated by her husband, he would have slapped him in the face with a fist.

Qiao Jianghong swallowed his saliva weakly: "I really happened to meet my brother-in-law here, it is better to sit down and drink tea together." ”

An Shi'an's eyes were on fire, he couldn't control it, and hit Qiao Jianghong in the face with a fist.

Qiao Jianghong's face was deflected, his body fell on the tea table, and with a plop, the tea set of Ru kiln celadon crackled and fell to the ground.

An Shi'an angrily warned Qiao Jianghong: "Ungrateful people, the daughter of Anfu is definitely not something you can humiliate!" ”

Qiao Jianghong, who was in a loss, got up in embarrassment with the support of his two friends: "Brother in-law misunderstood, Qien has always been a gentle and virtuous woman in my heart, and marrying her is the honor of my Hou Mansion." ”

Li Renfeng was a peacemaker with Zhuang Dawu, and after saying a few good words for Qiao Jianghong, he left.

Lu Bochu looked at Qiao Jianghong with critical eyes, smacking his tongue in his heart, such a man is really not worthy of an Anfu woman.

Qiao Jianghong had a very good attitude in admitting his mistakes, and he didn't want to lose face in the public, but fortunately, there were only a few of them on the second floor at this time.

An Shi glared at Qiao Jianghong angrily and left, not even drinking the tea he had made an appointment with Lu Bochu.

When paying the bill, Qiao Jianghong's heart was hit again, and the broken tea set needed to be paid fifty taels together with the tea.

He didn't have so much silver with him, so Xiao Er followed him back to the Hou Mansion to get it.
