Qing Wu Red House

Chapter 165

Let's say that Chu Tianyou sent Baochai back to Huaping Tianpan and left quickly. As soon as he turned into the path by the lake, he saw Daiyu and Aojian talking about something by the lake.Chu Tianyou stopped curiously, and looked at Daiyu and Aojian who were standing by the lake.

The afternoon in March is actually not very cold, but Daiyu has always been weak, and until now the charcoal basin is still lit in the Yanyu Pavilion.But today maybe I was too busy, maybe I came out in a hurry.Daiyu was only wearing a rose-red palace dress with flowing colors and dark flowers, which made her look a lot more playful.

From Chu Tianyou's point of view, Daiyu was listening to what Aojian said with a smile, with a very happy smile on her face, but after half a stick of incense, Aojian left first, leaving Daiyu sitting alone. On the stone bench by the lake, I don't know what I am thinking, and I don't seem to have any plans to leave for the time being.

Chu Tianyou sighed softly almost imperceptibly, and walked towards Daiyu uncontrollably.

Daiyu also seemed to have heard the footsteps, thinking it was Aojian coming back, she couldn't help asking softly: "What? Xiang'er, is there anything else you want to say?" While talking, she turned her head with a smile and saw that it was Chu Tianyou , stood up involuntarily, and bowed lightly: "Brother Chu."

"What? Did Xiang'er ask Ao Jian to say something to you?" Chu Tianyou smiled faintly, walked over and sat down on the stone bench, and pointed to the stool beside him.Daiyu then sat down again, and said with a smile: "My brother sent a message to let Xiang'er go with me to Huaping Tianpan, but Xiang'er didn't want to, so I asked Aojian to come and talk to me."

Chu Tianyou said softly, looked at the lake in ecstasy, and said with a smile: "It's strange to say that we named all the yards that day, but never thought of naming this lake. name."

Daiyu looked at Chu Tianyou suspiciously, wondering why he would mention this.Although she knew that she didn't bring a girl like herself.Sitting here and chatting with Chu Tianyou is outrageous.But thinking of Madam Chu's sad tone, Daiyu felt that she should say something nice for Madam Chu.After all, when her father was seriously ill, Mrs. Chu helped the Lin family.

"Sister Lin, why don't you think of a name for it now!" Seeing Daiyu's little face full of tangled expressions, Chu Tianyou roughly guessed what Daiyu was thinking.But he didn't want to talk about that question at all, so he continued to talk about this topic.

Daiyu also cast her eyes on the lake: "Yesterday, sister Yang said that she wanted to go boating in the center of the lake. I suddenly felt that the lake in the herb garden had lost its original function and its original charm. "

Chu Tianyou laughed: "You are blaming me and Hao Rui for being troubled, that's fine. In summer, I will remove the hidden mechanism and let sister Lin have a good tour." Daiyu laughed and said: " Then there will be Brother Lao Chu."

Chu Tianyou looked at Daiyu's smiling face.Asked: "Have you thought of a name?" Daiyu nodded: "I'm not sister Teng, so it's so difficult to think of a name." Chu Tianyou smiled: "Speaking of Miss Teng, there was an incident on the Annan battlefield. It's an interesting story, sister Lin would like to hear about it!"

Daiyu's eyes lit up fiercely, and her tone became unusually lively: "But it has something to do with my brother?" Chu Tianyou couldn't help nodding his head: "Exactly. Your brother was very surprised at that time, as if he couldn't react at all. "

Daiyu seemed to have seen her brother's sudden embarrassment, so she couldn't help laughing.Chu Tianyou looked at Daiyu, and asked curiously, "Do you like Miss Teng to be your sister-in-law?"

"That's natural. Sister Teng and I hit it off very rarely, and she likes brother so much!" Daiyu said briskly.Can't hide the smile in his eyes.

Chu Tianyou sighed softly: "If Miss Teng really becomes the hostess of this herb garden one day, then this is probably the main reason." Daiyu looked at Chu Tianyou with some puzzlement: "Why is this so? Say. Big brother Chu means that my brother doesn’t like sister Teng? I’m afraid big brother Chu is wrong about this, but I have heard my brother admit it with my own ears.”

"Your brother's thoughts are too deep. Even if we are often together, I often can't guess what he is thinking. If one day your brother does not fulfill your wish, you have to be considerate of him!" Chu Tianyou He pretended to be relaxed and said.Daiyu tilted her head and looked at Chu Tianyou: "Brother Chu, are you worried about my relationship with my brother?"

Chu Tianyou didn't seem to want to return to Daiyu's question.Shaking her head, she pointed at the lake and said with a smile: "Tell me the name you want." Daiyu read softly: "Cancan Hemerocallis. Under Luosheng Beitang. Our garden is called Herb Garden, and the alleys are plants and trees. Hutong. So this lake is called 'Hemerocallis Lake'!"

Chu Tianyou was silent, thinking that Daiyu was really a smart girl, so he changed the subject.Seeing Chu Tianyou's silence, Daiyu asked, "Brother Chu, do you think this name is good?"

Chu Tianyou shook his head: "No, why waste the name of a lake just to persuade me?"

Chu Tianyou's motives were broken for Daiyu, so she could only say in an embarrassing way: "I should say a few words for my aunt." Chu Tianyou was amused by Daiyu's straightforward words: "You really are a weird girl, I Having said that, you still made the problem so clear."

Daiyu's voice was soft, as if it came from far away: "That's because I know Brother Chu is very grateful and filial to Auntie. I also know that Brother Chu will definitely do what Auntie wishes Arrived."

"You don't have to compliment me, I never wanted that identity!" Chu Tianyou said quietly, his expression seemed to be talking about other people's affairs, without any fluctuations: "I know, I There is no reason to prevent my mother from entering the palace. Because she has always loved that man. I didn’t know until that man revealed my life experience. It turns out that the Qi in our family represents His Royal Highness Qi. My surname is Chu, but It's just his title."

Daiyu's heart moved, she also heard from her brother about Mrs. Chu's special preference, but she didn't expect that there was such a story in it.This matter must be Aunt Chu's obsession, and even Sister Yang didn't tell her.

"On the day of the palace examination, why didn't brother Chu come back?" Daiyu didn't just say good things about Mrs. Chu, but asked other questions.Although Chu Tianyou knew that Daiyu would eventually persuade him, he still answered Daiyu's question: "What are you doing when you come back? If Hao Rui asks, I don't think I will choose to hide it. But I really don't know." What expression should I use to explain this matter?"

"Brother is very worried about you!" Daiyu said affirmatively.Although Lin Haorui had always been calm during the days when Chu Tianyou disappeared, Daiyu knew it.Lin Haorui was very anxious.

"I know." Chu Tianyou answered with certainty.

Daiyu continued: "Auntie is also very worried about you!"

"I know too!" Chu Tianyou said again, pursing his lips unconsciously.

Daiyu sighed, and slowly said word by word: "I can understand Brother Chu's mood, and I know that Brother Chu must have struggled for a long time before making the current decision. But I think Brother Chu should have the courage to go Facing all of this." Daiyu spoke lightly, and Chu Tianyou couldn't help turning around, looking at Daiyu seriously.At this time, Daiyu has grown up a lot compared to when she first met her, and her once immature face is now even more touching.

Chu Tianyou looked at Daiyu seriously, without looking away.Can't bear to look away.Daiyu didn't dodge Chu Tianyou's eyes, and continued to say: "That day, when Aunt Chu came to the herb garden, I was actually shocked. But I quickly agreed with this message. Because I always feel that, Brother Chu should have such an identity, whether it is for himself, for his aunt, or for the common people, he can do many things. I know, and I have always believed that, no matter whether he is the number one scholar in the imperial examination or the prince of the royal family, Brother Chu, They can all do very well.”

Hearing Daiyu's words, Chu Tianyou couldn't help showing a smile.

Daiyu saw that Chu Tianyou didn't answer her words.Biting her lips again, she continued: "Auntie said that she wanted to see you at the Empress Ceremony. Brother Chu. Even if Auntie has kept you a secret for more than ten years, she can be forgiven, right?"

Chu Tianyou was still silent, Daiyu sighed, and stood up from the stone bench: "The mat on the other side of the painting screen has been set up. I'm going in to take care of it." After speaking, she turned around and left.

"Sister Lin!" Chu Tianyou said after Daiyu took two steps.Suddenly he called out to her.Daiyu turned her head to look at him, Chu Tianyou also stood up, walked slowly in front of Daiyu, and sighed softly: "Sister Lin, do you know what it means if I appear in the empress ceremony? "

Daiyu looked at Chu Tianyou puzzled, but nodded seriously: "I know, that means becoming a prince."

Chu Tianyou smiled wryly: "Actually, sister Lin didn't think about it carefully. If I appeared in the Empress Ceremony, it means that I have become one of the heirs to that position. In the future, there will be endless malicious and flattering people." With people around me, I will become more and more restless and complacent, until I lose my true nature, lose my master, lose my friends, and end up alone for the rest of my life.”

"What is Brother Chu talking about? At least I know that my brother will not deliberately curry favor with you just because you have become the prince!" Daiyu was a little angry, because Chu Tianyou thought of everyone so unbearable.

Chu Tianyou sighed: "Yeah, Hao Rui won't curry favor with me or flatter me. But he will alienate me. Once we disagree, he will give me three points because of my identity."

"No!" Daiyu interrupted Chu Tianyou decisively: "I'm sure, brother will definitely not!"

"What about sister Lin?" Chu Tianyou blurted out suddenly.

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chu Tianyou in confusion: "Me?"

"Yeah, what about sister Lin? Will sister Lin become a little different because I became the prince?" Chu Tianyou asked confusedly. He didn't know what he wanted to ask, nor did he know that he wanted to hear Daiyu's answer. What.

Daiyu smiled faintly, feeling a little uncomfortable on her face, but she still answered Chu Tianyou's words with certainty: "Of course not, no matter how Big Brother Chu's status changes, you are still that Big Brother Chu who traveled thousands of miles and protected me well." .”

Chu Tianyou smiled deeply. This smile seemed to be the most sincere and comfortable smile he had shown in the past half a year.He looked at Daiyu fixedly, and his voice became low: "Then sister Lin, can we make an agreement?"

"What agreement?" Daiyu felt that Chu Tianyou was a little strange today, but she couldn't tell where the strangeness was.Maybe it's really just because of a sudden change in identity, and I can't adapt.

"We agreed that if one day, your elder brother or other people in this world treat me differently because I have become a prince, at that time, sister Lin will stand by my side and agree with me. Support me!" Chu Tianyou said in a low voice, his eyes were shining with unusual brilliance, which made people unable to turn their eyes away.

Daiyu looked at Chu Tianyou, carefully digesting the content of this sentence.But Chu Tianyou couldn't wait to ask: "Is it possible?" Under Chu Tianyou's gaze, Daiyu nodded involuntarily.

Chu Tianyou was overjoyed immediately, and stretched out his right hand: "We clap our hands as an oath, a word from a gentleman is hard to chase!"

Although Daiyu was still a little ignorant, she still raised her arm and patted Chu Tianyou's hand with her small palm.A crisp voice came out, and Chu Tianyou smiled gratifiedly.Daiyu also smiled and said, "Then Brother Chu is going to the aunt's ceremony to make the aunt and the emperor proud of having such a son as Brother Chu."

Chu Tianyou nodded solemnly, and in a blink of an eye saw Zijuan's figure coming from afar, and said with a smile: "Okay, I've been talking with Sister Lin for a long time. Look!"

Daiyu nodded, then turned and left the lake, just in time to meet Zijuan who came forward.Zijuan glanced at the lake, and said: "Where did the girl go, let us find it easily. Princess Yunting is here, and she is talking with the uncle in the study, saying that the girl is going to pay a visit!"

Daiyu was a little surprised, but she still said: "I sat by the lake for a while, and my clothes are a little wrinkled, I'd better go back and change before going! The eldest princess has a good look, but can you help me?"

Zijuan smiled and shook her head: "No, Nanny Song and I are watching, the eldest princess's posture seems to be a matchmaking match for our uncle."

Daiyu burst into a smile: "You naughty girls, be careful that brother will punish you!" Then she took Zijuan to Yanyu Pavilion.

After Daiyu and Zijuan left, Chu Tianyou came out from the lake, looked at the backs of the two girls, and could not help but smile deeply.Suddenly, his expression turned serious, and he said abruptly: "How long are you going to eavesdrop, before you come out!"

As soon as his words fell, he saw a figure slowly turning out from behind the big tree beside him, it was Ao Jian who had first talked to Daiyu.Chu Tianyou glanced at Ao Jian, and said sullenly, "You're happy to hear that?"

Ao Jian smiled slightly: "You don't have to care about whether I'm happy or not. You should think about it, if Hao Rui knows about your agreement, how can you settle accounts with you. You'd be ashamed to bully a little girl!"

Chu Tianyou smiled helplessly: "Then what can I do! You don't have to worry about whether Hao Rui knows or not, as long as you keep your mouth shut. By the way, according to Hao Rui, you want to go back to Daxue Mountain , when to leave."

"It's just a few days. People from the unknown faction appeared in Shangjing again recently. I don't know what target they are aiming at this time. It is safer for me to go and find out the situation first!" Ao Jian said nonchalantly.

"Does Chechen know?" Chu Tianyou suddenly asked.

Ao Jian shrugged his shoulders: "I should know. He is in charge of such a department. There is nothing he doesn't know. I'm afraid that Princess Yun Ting's visit today may also be related to this matter. If I were you, I'd better go see her." .”

Chu Tianyou glanced at Ao Jian, but didn't react to his words, but slowly left the lake and headed towards Wangshan Pavilion.
