In the evening, the sky became more and more gloomy, and within half an hour, it began to rain lightly.

After taking a bath, Wei Changgong changed into a maroon brocade robe with a round collar and embroidered patterns, and wore a silver crown. He was tall and straight, which was probably what Yushu Linfeng said.

Wei Changgong had just finished arranging his clothes when he heard a knock on the door and Xiao Yuanjing's voice sounded outside the door. Li Changting glanced at Wei Changgong beside him, and then at the prince outside the door. They didn't know his identity to cooperate with him in the performance, but seeing Wei Changgong's expression, Li Changting was also a little attentive to Xiao Yuanjing.

When he opened the door, he saw Xiao Yuanjing standing at the door with a smile on his face. Li Changting said with a smile, "Young Master Xie, why are you here?"

Xiao Yuanjing looked into the room, and smiled: "You are my friends, and now you live with me in Duke Qing's mansion, so you are naturally guests in the mansion, so I have to treat you well, is there anything inconsiderate?" Wherever you go, tell me."

Just as Li Changting was about to speak, he saw Wei Changgong's hand stretched out, sticking to Li Changting's left cheek, pushing him away forcefully, taking his place and standing face to face with Xiao Yuanjing. Thoughtful, thank you Mr. Xie."

Xiao Yuanjing smiled, stretched out his hand to touch his head, and smiled very silly.

He clearly wanted to come and see Wei Changgong, and seeing him, he didn't know what to say at the moment, and felt a little embarrassed: "By the way, Brother Wei, do you have any favorite meals? Let them make them tonight." some."

Li Changting interjected, "I like braised pork."

Wei Changgong stretched out his hand to cover Li Changting's approaching face again, pushed him away, and said as usual, "It's all good, I'm not picky."

Xiao Yuan nodded, thinking in his mind that if he is not picky about food, he can ask him to eat hot pot together in the future.

But when he saw Li Changting rubbing his neck, Xiao Yuanjing was still a little worried: "Brother Li's neck is fine."

Wei Changgong shook his head: "No problem, he is good at kung fu."

Only then did Xiao Yuanjing nod, and continued: "My uncle has returned home. If so, Brother Wei might as well go see my uncle with me. He is an important official of the imperial court. Where your relatives and friends have moved, as long as you tell him My uncle will ask the Jingzhaoyin Mansion to check the person's household registration, and the custodian can find it for you."

Wei Changgong thought about it carefully, now that he lives in Duke Qing's mansion, he should visit the master, so he didn't refuse, and left the Xiaoxiang Pavilion together with Xiao Yuanjing.

The drizzle fell and crackled on the leaves, and the water splashed from the shoes every time he took a step wet the hem of his clothes. Under the oiled paper umbrella, Xiao Yuanjing and Wei Changgong walked side by side, and went straight to the corridor to put away the umbrella. Taking advantage of the situation, he handed the umbrella to the boy guarding the door.

As soon as Xiao Yuanjing and Wei Changgong stepped into the door of the study, they heard Qing Guogong's scolding voice from inside the room, which seemed to be reprimanding Xun Ruobai for ignoring the Duke's wife's wishes and ruining the marriage she had chosen for Xun Ruoqian .

Xiao Yuanjing paused, glanced at Wei Changgong beside him, hurried in, and called, "Uncle."

Duke Qing wanted to say something more, but when he saw Xiao Yuanjing coming, he wanted to salute, but when he saw the strange young man beside him, he knew that Xiao Yuanjing must be using the identity of Xie Changan, so he also reacted and restrained himself. Angry, he smiled and said:

"It turns out that Chang'an is here, and this person must be the Young Master Wei from Yunzhong that Ruobai mentioned."

Wei Changgong bowed to Duke Qing: "I have seen Mr. Duke, I have disturbed you a lot, please forgive me."

Duke Qing looked at Wei Changgong in front of him, his eyes were a little easy-going, and he hurriedly said: "Where is it, if there is a place in the house that is not well taken care of, Mr. Wei must be more tolerant."

Xiao Yuanjing's eyes wandered back and forth between these two people, listening to their greetings, as if they knew each other, Xiao Yuanjing became more and more confused, looking at Wei Changgong beside him, his eyes also had Some scrutiny.

After seeing Duke Qing, the mansion arranged a dinner, and Xun Qingxue, the eldest daughter who married into Duke Pei's mansion, heard that Xiao Yuanjing was staying at the mansion, so she also returned home with Duke Pei's son.

The son of Duke Pei is about the same age as Xun Ruobai, but his personality is vastly different. Xun Ruobai is gentle and introverted, but this son of Duke Pei is an enthusiastic person. The meal at the banquet was not formal, but entertained them with extra enthusiasm.

Xiao Yuanjing always felt that there was something wrong. It would be better if the son of Duke Pei Guo did this. Anyway, he was the son-in-law of Duke Qing's mansion, and he was a family member. There was nothing wrong with entertaining guests.

But to put it on the bad side, even the prince of the Duke of Qing was sitting at the banquet, but he showed his eagerness and acquaintance, and the limelight overwhelmed Xun Ruobai.

Duke Qing was naturally looking for the best, who made Xun Ruobai not as outgoing as Duke Pei's son, it would be more or less embarrassing for him.

But Xiao Yuanjing caught a trace of helplessness and embarrassment in Xun Ruobai's sight.

He suddenly remembered that when he encountered difficulties in Jingzhao Yin's mansion that day, it was this prince who came to rescue him. Thinking of hearing Duke Qing scolding him at the door of the study, he suddenly felt that this Xun Ruobai was not what he appeared to be. Gentleness, on the contrary, hides a lot of thoughts that are not easy to be discovered.

The son of Duke Pei asked the servant of the cloth dish to put a piece of crispy duck leg on Xiao Yuanjing's plate, and said with a smile: "This crispy duck is the best made by the cooks in the Duke's mansion. One of the dishes I ate, I think my father-in-law prepared this crispy duck when I came back home with my wife, cousin Xie might as well try it."

Xiao Yuanjing looked at the duck legs on the plate and ignored the words of Prince Peiguo. Instead, he searched around the table, raised his head and asked Xun Ruobai with a smile: "Cousin said last time that the family made it Yipin shredded eel tastes very good, why didn’t I see this dish today, I really want to try that dish.”

Hearing Xiao Yuanjing's complete refusal to answer his words, Pei Guogong's son couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but Xiao Yuanjing didn't care, just looked at Xun Ruobai with a smile.

Xun Ruobai looked back at Xiao Yuanjing, and hurriedly said: "It will take some time to make the first-grade eel shreds, so counting the time, this first-grade eel shreds will be coming soon."

Xiao Yuanjing responded, then picked up the duck leg from the plate and took a bite. After waiting for a piece of shredded eel to arrive, Xun Ruobai took the host's seat and entertained the guests.

After dinner and some tea in the flower hall, Xun Ruobai took Xiao Yuanjing and Wei Changgong back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

In the Duke's Mansion after the rain, the lights on the porch were extraordinarily cool. After a rain, the temperature became colder and colder. Occasionally, there was a gust of wind, and it was still a little cold.

Xiao Yuanjing walked in front, followed by Wei Changgong, and Xun Ruobai and Li Changting walked behind, all the way without saying a word, which gave Xiao Yuanjing a period of time to think about things.

He seemed to feel that the brother Wei next to him had an unusual identity.

No matter how nervous he was, he could still feel the changes in Xun Ruobai when he heard about his background. Even if he didn't notice it at that time, Duke Qing treated him warmly afterwards, not like treating ordinary guests. .

Xiao Yuanjing sneaked a glance at Wei Changgong beside him from the corner of his eye, and with just one glance, Xiao Yuanjing's heartbeat changed again, and the deer in his heart almost fainted.

Xiao Yuanjing sighed slightly, and thought to forget it, no matter what the other party's status was, anyway, after he returned to the palace, they would part ways, and just get along for a few days, let him indulge.

People don't flirt with youth.

The corners of Xiao Yuanjing's lips raised slightly, and he felt that he was a little scumbag, and that he wanted to play with a handsome man. It was a bit exciting to think about it.

Hearing Xiao Yuanjing's sigh, Xun Ruobai couldn't help but wondered: "What's wrong with my cousin? But the dinner tonight is not to your liking?"

Xiao Yuanjing shook his head quickly: "No, no, no, I just thought of something. By the way, cousin, what kind of husband and son-in-law did uncle choose for sister Ruoqian? You actually gave her back in disregard of aunt's face."

As soon as Xun Ruoqian's marriage was mentioned, Xun Ruobai's face turned gloomy, just as he walked to the courtyard of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Wei Changgong took a look at Li Changting and said with a smile: "You two have something to talk about, let's go back to the room first .”

Xun Ruobai hurriedly said: "It's okay, since Mr. Wei is a friend of his cousin, he is not an outsider. I also want to find someone to advise on this matter. If Mr. Wei doesn't mind, why don't we sit down on the porch and have a drink?" Hot tea."

Xiao Yuanjing glanced at Wei Changgong, and quickly smiled and said, "That's right, brother Wei doesn't need to meet outsiders, let's give my cousin advice together."

Wei Changgong looked sideways at Xiao Yuanjing, thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

On the porch of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion near the lotus pond, there is a small table with all the utensils for making tea. Xia Yi is at the side setting up a stove to boil water, while the others are waiting at a distance, not allowed to come near without order.

Xun Ruobai looked at the white smoke that came out after the water boiled, smelled the fresh tea fragrance that wafted from the hot water brewing tea, and thought for a long time before saying:

"My cousin should know that the current Mrs. Qing is not the mother of me and Qian'er. The elder brother, the eldest sister and the second younger sister in this family are all descended from the current wife Yan. Qian'er and I are the children of my father's original spouse. My mother is the daughter of my grandmother's natal family, and she made a marriage contract with her father since she was a child, but unexpectedly, my father fell in love with others, and after marrying my mother, he took Yan's house away."

Xiao Yuanjing listened, picked up the teacup carefully and sniffed it lightly, and then he suddenly understood why at dinner just now, the son of Duke Pei Guo was able to treat the guests beyond the pedestal and the serious master. Put this Xun Ruobai in his eyes.

Wei Changgong listened carefully, and carefully asked: "Is the lady of the country treating the son badly?"

Xun Ruobai smiled wryly: "It's not bad, it's something else good. For example, about Qian'er's marriage, the eldest sister got married early last year, and the second sister also got married this year, so it's time to choose a son-in-law for the second sister, but the wife said that Qianer The son's biological mother is not here, so others can't think that she is treating the original spouse's children harshly, so she chooses a son-in-law for Qian'er first, and gradually, everyone in the house says that the madam treats Qian'er better than her own daughter, huh."

Xiao Yuanjing listened carefully, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart that the current Mrs. Duchess is really skilled.

It's no wonder that after Xun Ruobai resigned from Xun Ruoqian's marriage, Duke Qing wanted to blame Xun Ruobai instead of asking the reason why he resigned.Because in Duke Qing's eyes, this Yan family treated Xun Ruoqian better than his own daughter, and even delayed his daughter's marriage, worrying about his original spouse's daughter's marriage, but his original spouse's child didn't know how to praise him.

I feel that this Yan family is a fresh white lotus, whoever doesn't buy it will be blind.

Xiao Yuanjing cleared his throat and asked, "What kind of family is the husband-in-law my aunt chose for Qian'er?"
