Qing Wu Red House

Chapter 174 Lin's Dinner

In the evening, Daiyu led Xiang'er slowly from the Yanyu Pavilion to the Huaping Skyside.Before approaching the painting screen, she smelled a burst of aroma. Xiang'er smiled and said, "It really is my brother's style. Master Chen must have made a lot of delicacies to sacrifice to my brother's five internal organs temple."

Daiyu also laughed, since they lived with Lin Haorui, they seemed to be keeping their filial piety.So Daiyu didn't know that her brother's favorite food was actually fish and shrimp. After her father's filial piety period, Master Chen made a table full of delicious and plump shrimp, and Daiyu guessed it belatedly. The reason for this.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked into the painting screen, he saw a table of eight immortals placed in the center of the hall. Lin Haorui and Qi Tianyou were already sitting at the table, listening to Master Chen happily talking about today's dishes.Seeing that Daiyu and Xiang'er had arrived, Lin Haorui quickly waved to Master Chen, and then waved to Daiyu and Xiang'er.

Daiyu saw that her elder brother was still sitting on the main seat, but His Highness the Third Prince, who had officially changed his name to Qi Tianyou, sat down instead.Daiyu then knew that these two people still followed the usual seating positions at home, and did not deliberately change anything because of Qi Tianyou's status change.

"My sister came so late, Master Chen's dishes are ready!" Lin Haorui signaled the girl beside him to wash Daiyu and Xiang'er's hands.Today, Chu Xia and a few little girls are serving at the bank of the painting screen.But Daiyu only brought two or three little girls, and none of the big girls beside her.

"Didn't I say a few more words with that girl Qingwen!" Daiyu smiled happily: "I really never thought that Yuan Qing would ask to marry Qingwen. This is really a happy thing!" Before it fell, Daiyu remembered the words of the little yellow gate again, and looked at Qi Tianyou slightly apologetic: "But in this way, that girl Qingwen has failed the empress's kindness."

Qi Tianyou smiled: "It's not a problem for my mother. She likes to do the media job most of the day. She knows that Miss Qingwen has good news. She must be happy before it's too late!" Qi Tianyou said very easily, However, Lin Haorui didn't seem to have any good looks for him: "I didn't say you, the empress is always ruthless to your affairs on weekdays, unlike you, she doesn't even want to go back to the palace for dinner!"

"I'm happy to eat here, can't I?" Qi Tianyou glared at Lin Haorui not to be outdone, making both Daiyu and Xiang'er smile.Seeing Daiyu smile, Qi Tianyou seemed to be thinking of something, took out a post from his bosom, and handed it to Daiyu: "This is a post from the Queen Mother to show you the martial arts competition. Be sure to put it away, and wait until Hao When Rui goes to the martial arts competition, you can go into the palace to watch it!"

Although Daiyu was a little puzzled, she accepted the invitation respectfully.I saw that the invitation was on a bright yellow cover, with a courtyard drawn on it with a plain brush.Daiyu was carefully recalling where she had seen this courtyard when she heard Qi Tianyou say: "The courtyard on this invitation is the Changning Palace where my mother lives now. This is my mother's habit. When I was in Yangzhou, my family sent The posts are all sealed with the drawings of the courtyard!"

Daiyu sighed: "This painting is really good, with just a few strokes, it shows the majestic courtyard to the fullest!" Qi Tianyou smiled: "This is the queen mother's skill, and I said in the early years that I would teach it to you. Me, but I didn't learn. If sister Lin is interested, I can ask my mother a question or two!"

Lin Haorui poured cold water on the side: "You have long passed the age of learning to draw, and besides, the empress is busy with palace affairs now, so she has no time to teach you how to draw. You don't make wishes here in vain. Just make my sister happy for nothing! "

Qi Tianyou glared at him fiercely: "Hurry up and eat, I don't know when it started to talk so much!" Daiyu watched the two bickering with a smile, but gently opened the mouth between the two with her hand. That invitation, the content of the invitation is very simple.It was about inviting her to watch the martial arts competition.Presumably there are not a few people in Shangjing who received this invitation.

"Is the Empress going to invite a lot of people to watch the martial arts competition?" Daiyu asked puzzledly: "When I heard Yuan Qing talk about it, I thought it was just a competition within the imperial guards. Now it seems that it is not so simple. .”

Lin Haorui saw that Daiyu's small face tensed up, knowing that she was worried, he hurriedly smiled and comforted him: "It's not too complicated, it's just a few more martial arts candidates in this class, I know it in my heart, I will definitely No problem!"

Qi Tianyou also echoed from the side: "That's not bad. I see, except for the kid from the Sun family who is quite capable, the others are not to be feared. What you have to worry about is a someone you don't know well."

Daiyu looked at Qi Tianyou curiously, but Lin Haorui didn't even raise his eyebrows, and said calmly, "You mean Aojian!"

"Aojian?" Daiyu looked at Qi Tianyou in surprise.

Qi Tianyou smiled lightly: "Sister Lin knows Aojian's true identity, right? His real name should be Zhuang Chenghao, and he is the son of Princess Yunyi. Even the matter of being righteous and loyal to the old prince gave Princess Yunyi a little bit of a head start. , but with the credit of the banker, the only explanation is that he was sent to investigate something. And this time, the father intends to prove his identity to Ao Jian and give him back the identity he deserves, but it seems that the emperor has not nodded yet."

"But Aojian is still in Daxue Mountain and never came back?" Daiyu looked at Qi Tianyou suspiciously.

"I've come back. I should be near Sichuan these days. I guess I want to investigate the Tangmen!" Qi Tianyou said helplessly: "I once heard something from my father!" Hobbies: "Tang Sect? The one who poisoned you that day came from the Tang Sect?"

"En!" Qi Tianyou nodded, "Both Mr. Dai and Miss Yang said so, so it must be for sure!"

Lin Haorui raised his eyebrows, apparently very dissatisfied with the answer: "Didn't you check?" Qi Tianyou shook his head: "Is there anything to check? The matter is very clear, but I just want the pair of vases."

Daiyu heard that the two people were talking about more and more serious topics, she was afraid that Xiang'er would think of the terrible things that day again, so she hurriedly said with a smile: "Hurry up and eat, Xiang'er is full after you have been talking for a while! "Speaking, he signaled Errong to send Xiang'er back to Yanyu Pavilion.After Xiang'er said goodbye to the three of them politely, she followed Er Rong out of the painting screen.

Qi Tianyou looked at Daiyu thoughtfully: "What? Xiang'er still doesn't know the truth?" Daiyu nodded, "She's still too young, how can she understand all these troubles? Let's wait until she grows up. Let’s talk about some more. Besides, Ao Jian and I both think it’s better for Ao Jian to explain, Xiang’er is very dependent on him!”

Hearing Daiyu mentioning Aojian, Qi Tianyou couldn't help raising his eyebrows.Lin Haorui was looking at Qi Tianyou, and naturally had a panoramic view of his movements, and his expression couldn't help but darken a bit.Lin Haorui coughed softly, and changed the subject: "Okay, there is no answer to these things, and it's useless to talk about it. But my sister is kind enough to tell me about the Rongguo Mansion. How seriously is Second Brother Lian injured?"

When this topic was brought up, Daiyu's expression darkened, she put down her chopsticks, and took a sip of her tea: "It's very heavy, Mr. Dai said that the poison on the whip is the same as that of Brother Chu... no, the poison that His Royal Highness the Third Prince once suffered from." It's very similar, if it wasn't because he had seen the medicine formulated by Sister Yang, he would have been deceived!"

Qi Tianyou interrupted Daiyu: "Sister Lin doesn't need to call me Your Highness the Third Prince. Although my surname is no longer Chu, you can still call me Brother Chu, or you can call me by my name!"

Lin Haorui glared at him: "Where is your identity, why can't you hear people calling you His Highness the Third Prince? I warn you, you don't understand the situation anymore, even if you want to retreat, people in the court will not allow it." Yes, your royal father will not allow it either!"

Qi Tianyou knew that what Lin Haorui said was true, so he couldn't help but heaved a long sigh.Daiyu looked at Qi Tianyou's confused expression, for some reason, she just felt that the current Qi Tianyou was much different from the previous Chu Tianyou.

If the former Chu Tianyou was an eagle, flying freely in the sky.The current Qi Tianyou is just a kite. Although he can fly, he has no freedom at all.Thinking of this, Daiyu couldn't help feeling sorry for Qi Tianyou, and said softly: "Then I'll call Brother Tianyou, and please don't be offended by Brother Tianyou!"

Qi Tianyou immediately smiled comfortably: "Of course I won't be offended, I told sister Lin that whatever she calls is good!" Lin Haorui looked at Qi Tianyou's smiling face, and the alarm bells rang in his heart.

While the three were talking, Master Chen came in with a few servants and removed the noodles from the table, and carefully served some fruits.Daiyu also slowly explained what happened in Rongguo Mansion in detail.After listening, both Lin Haorui and Qi Tianyou couldn't help being silent for a while.

After a while Lin Haorui said: "Let's not talk about whether the second brother Lian's injury will heal soon and go to the competition, just this house is not easy to find!" Qi Tianyou also frowned and said: "Yes Lian's second brother hasn't suffered much since he was a child, so naturally he can't just find one in the house. Moreover, the eldest sister and the fat brother are both at the age of playing, so the yard is too small and there is no place for the two of them to play!"

"I have an idea, but I don't know if my brother agrees!" Daiyu said suddenly, and Lin Haorui raised his eyebrows: "Oh, tell me!" Daiyu said with a smile: "I was thinking, if I go to the capital It's hard to find a house in the village, our family has a hot spring village on the Nanshan side, but we can let Sister Feng and the others live there for now."

As soon as Lin Haorui heard it, he immediately retorted: "How is that possible? That Zhuangzi is left to you in the future, so how can you borrow it from others. This idea is not good, so let's think about it more carefully!" Daiyu smiled indifferently: "Brother is confused, what can I use for that Zhuangzi? Instead of leaving it alone, it's better to let it be useful. When the weather gets colder, I can still take Xiang'er to bother him, wouldn't it be good?"
