After dressing as a villain, I am addicted to farming
Chapter 28 Hunting Field
"Master, let me tell you..." He followed Qu Zhong step by step, Da Ying didn't mind his own footprints at all.
On the contrary, he hunched over and told in detail about Qu Zhong's absence these days.
Qu Gao returned to Qu Mansion a few days ago.
As soon as he came back, he went to the Furong Hall where Luo Shi lived, and knelt down in front of Luo Shi with such a plop. First, he cried bitterly, and then he sincerely admitted his mistake, expressing that he would change his mind like Qu Zhong.
Qu Zhong: There is something wrong with you, you have to drag me?
Qu Gao was originally raised by Luo Shi, and this cry must have had a significant effect, and the two of them immediately hugged each other and cried.
On the second day, before dawn, Qu Zhong went to the main courtyard and re-enacted yesterday's drama.
As for whether Qu Zhao and Xu believe it or not, no one knows.
Da Ying only knows that these days, Qu Gao is jumping up and down in the mansion, the second young master is not there, and the third young master is just like the eldest young master in the mansion, full of style.
Hey, this guy has really changed his mind, or was he woken up by someone.
Qu Chenyuan, oh no, it should be called Meng Chenyuan now.
Qu Zhong thought of this name, based on what he knew about Qu Gaodi, this person is not smart enough, but he is obedient enough, and the one who can make him obedient is nothing but Meng Chenyuan.
These two people are planning to make some trouble now.
"Wait for Grandpa to meet."
Hearing that Da Ying said that people are eating in the side hall now, Qu Zhong's eyes flashed, and he turned around and went to the side hall.
"Grandmother, Zhong'er misses you so much."
Before the person arrived, Qu Zhong's protracted coquettish voice had already entered the side hall.
The few people who were eating were startled and trembled in unison.
Luo Shi coldly snorted angrily: "I miss grandma, the one who doesn't have a home."
Although he could receive gadgets from Qu Zhong from time to time, Luo Shi hadn't seen anyone for several months now.
Xu's always said that people are busy in Zhuangzi, but Luo's doesn't believe it, he must have reverted to his old ways and went to hang out in the brothel again. Gao'er is right, this dog can't change his eating shit.
"Grandmother, my Zhuangzi is about to be finished soon. You can go and see it then."
Tiredly leaning over to Luo Shi's side, the servant girl placed a stool winkingly, Qu Zhong took the opportunity to sit down, and by the way squeezed Qu Gao who was sitting next to him.
This bitch actually sat next to Luo Shi and Xu Shi, and it seemed that she was flattering.
"A majestic young master of the Hou's mansion, he does not do business, but always thinks of crooked ways"
He had only heard a few words from the mothers-in-law, Luo Shi didn't know what Qu Zhong was going to do.
Qu Zhong's integrity, it's only been a few months, and Luo Shi's impression of himself has returned to the original point.
"Grandma, look at what you said, I brought you something good, I'll show you after dinner."
He attentively picked up some dishes with chopsticks for Luo Shi, and Qu Zhongcai took advantage of the effort to look at Xia Qugao.
scare!
This is Qu Gao?
This warm and jade-like young man in white clothes is the Qu Gao who doesn't look up all day and wears dusty clothes.
"Mother, try this."
Beside him, Qu Gao was picking up vegetables for Mrs. Xu, and carefully picked out all the fishbone, before handing over the small plate with the vegetables.
Feeling cold, Qu Zhong almost choked on the vegetables in his mouth.
Why does it always feel like I've seen it somewhere before?
From the corner of his eye, after looking carefully for a while, Qu Zhong finally knew where this feeling came from.
Isn't this a copy of Qu Chenyuan?
"Third brother, are you finally willing to go back home?"
He glanced at Qu Gao with a half-smile, Qu Zhong felt that if he didn't stab him a few words, he wouldn't be a good man.
"Second brother, the younger brother used to be ignorant, so the second brother should stop teasing the younger brother."
Qu Gao smiled, he didn't seem to mind Qu Zhong's sarcasm at all, even the corners of his lips were raised.
Qu Zhong shuddered, almost blinded by the smile, the stiff corners of the mouth, coupled with the gloomy eyes, no matter how you look at it, it looks like wearing a mask.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Qu Zhao coughed lightly, interrupting the two of them, he also felt that Gao Er's smile was really weird.
"Eat, eat, hehe."
Smiling dryly, he forced the food into his mouth, Qu Zhong cast a glance at Da Ying beside him, and gave up the plan of asking him to inquire for a while.
"Look at the way you eat, you don't have the upbringing of the Hou Mansion."
Luo Shi put down the bowl and began to criticize Qu Zhong.
"Grandmother, look what I brought you."
Ignoring Luo Shi's scolding, Qu Zhong quickly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and ordered Da Ying: "Go and carry the things brought back by the master."
"Yes, sir."
Da Ying ran out in a hurry, not sure if he was too excited to run, or was frightened by Qu Gao.
I didn't even see the big steps in the courtyard, and I missed a step and fell solidly.
Qu Zhong: I have to find a normal person to be my assistant again.
Needless to say, as soon as this thing was lifted up, Roche was overjoyed, and even thought about the use of this thing.
"You have a conscience, boy."
When supporting the mother-in-law's hand and going out of the side hall, Luo Shi was finally willing to smile at Qu Zhong.
"Grandmother, go slowly, I'll go to pay my respects tomorrow." Qu Zhong smiled obsequiously.
Just kidding, he has only used his first move now, and when he makes his big move, his grandmother will definitely miss him every day.
"Um"
If Qu Zhong said in the past to pay his respects, Luo Shi would definitely give him two big eyes. Tonight, he just nodded casually, and he knew how satisfied she was with today's gift.
Then he turned his head and glanced at Qu Gao, and found that he was still sitting on the spot thoughtfully.
"Mother, son, talk to you..."
Stretching out his hand to support Xu's arm, Qu Zhong bent over like a dog.
Seeing his son's behavior, Xu knew that this kid must have no money: "Okay, let's go, Gao'er should go back to the yard to rest earlier."
"Yes, mother, Gao'er has returned to his room."
Bent down respectfully waiting for Xu Shi and Qu Zhao to leave the side hall first, Qu Gao kept his head down, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.
It was a scorchingly hot day, and the yard wasn't much cooler at night, even the wind carried heat.
"You monkey, don't you have no money again?"
After leaving the front yard, Xu patted Qu Zhong on the back of his hand.
"Mother, it was Dad who wrote me to come back." Qu Zhong was dissatisfied.
Although he really needs money now, what can he say? Of course he can't.
"You boy, we don't know you yet."
Qu Zhao, who had been following the two of them all the time, made a sound and immediately dismantled Qu Zhong's platform.
"Mom, look at Dad."
Shaking Xu's arm in dissatisfaction, Qu Zhong felt goosebumps all over his heart.
You deserve it, macho coquettish.
"If you want money, call him father, if you don't want money, call him father. You still argue."
Twitching the corner of his mouth, Qu Zhao resisted waving his hand, casually glanced at the figure falling far behind him.
"Father, give me the money."
Taking out the purse from his arms, Qu Zhong threw it to Qu Zhao; "Fill it up."
"You stinky boy."
Finally unable to hold back, Qu Zhao stretched out his hand and knocked Qu Zhong on the head, quite hard.
While covering his head, while backing away, Qu Zhong smiled openly: "Father is jealous that I support mother."
"You bastard, get the hell out of here."
Unexpectedly, being ridiculed by his son, Qu Zhong was embarrassed, and he lifted his clothes to catch Qu Zhong.
"Haha, dad, you are old, you can't catch it."
While running forward at high speed, Qu Zhong turned his head and raised his eyebrows meanly.
"If I don't beat you today, I won't be your father."
Qu Zhao shouted, shaking the purse in his hand, and really ran.
"That's Zhong'er, let the master become like a child." Xu looked at it with a smile, and didn't intend to stop it, but murmured a few words to the woman beside her.
The mother-in-law didn't dare to talk too much, so she had to echo a few words.
The Eldest Young Master is gone, and now the Second Young Master's world is not in his hands. If anyone dares to say that the Second Young Master is not good, the mother-in-law thinks that Xu can eat her raw.
"Do you feel like a family now?"
Of course, she didn't expect the mother-in-law to discuss with her, Xu just said a few words with emotion.
And Qu Gao, who fell far behind, has been walking alone.
Seeing that he was approaching the fork in the road, his eyes were still glued to the people in front of him.
His hard work in the past few months was destroyed by Qu Zhong as soon as he came back.
"Qu Zhong..."
The voice seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth, Qu Gao's eyes were pressed, and a chill rose from the bottom of his eyes.
"Third Young Master, Young Master Meng has written to you."
The valet behind him caught up panting, and hastily handed over the letter he had received before dinner.
He also heard the young master's mumbling just now, but he didn't dare to say anything.
If I don't obey, I'm afraid I don't know how to die.
Opening the letter, Qu Zhong glanced at the lantern carried by the servant.
"It's your fate."
The few people in front of him walked further and further away, Qu Gao crumpled the letter in his hand angrily, his eyes gradually turned red.
If his elder brother hadn't asked him to come back to monitor Qu Zhao, he wouldn't have returned home.
He knew that Xu's aunt was not the one who killed her, but he still felt hatred, hated Qu Zhao for not being kind to his mother, hated Qu Zhong, hated for no reason.
If he was a serious young master of the Hou family, then Miss Liu would not avoid him.
If he was Lord Hou, he would be able to propose marriage to the Liu Mansion in person.
But he is just a young master from a concubine, not even qualified to propose marriage to Miss Liu.
"Liu Xinyan, wait for me for a few years, and I will definitely become the master of this Hou's mansion."
Completely pretending that the servant did not exist, Qu Gao stroked a small hairpin in a daze, and stood there murmuring without hesitation.
***
"Chang Feng, Chang Yun, from now on you will follow the master."
Although he was finally caught and beaten by Qu Zhao, he gained a lot anyway, no, he also got two followers.
Qu Zhong carefully looked at them in the main courtyard, and both of them should have some skills.
And I heard from my father that Chang Yun is still a master at calculating accounts, so Qu Zhong will not have to worry about all the accounts in Zhuangzi in the future.
"Thank you, Master."
Chang Feng and Chang Yun bowed their hands, neither humble nor overbearing, without any sense of inferiority at all, which made Da Ying sneer at the side.
"Okay, okay, you're welcome."
Waving his hand casually, Qu Zhong didn't care at all, but excitedly took out the bank note he just got from his arms.
It's still father enough, scolding is scolding, and this move is generous enough.
"Chang Yun, you will take care of my private treasury from now on."
After looking at it for a while, Qu Zhong handed the bank note to Chang Yun, and he didn't have to worry about it anymore when someone else took care of the account.
"Yes, sir."
Chang Yun took the bank notes, and immediately counted them in front of several people.
Qu Zhong looked at him with black eyes, not knowing whether to praise this man's true nature, or to be impatient.
Chang Feng was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly bowed his hands to Li Junzhu: "The two of us were originally retired from the imperial guards, and we will be the second young master's people from now on."
"Chang Yuan used to be in charge of accounts in the imperial guards. Every time he paid monthly salaries to the brothers in the yamen, he counted directly in this way, and he was used to counting."
"Nothing, nothing."
Waving his hand indifferently, Qu Zhong thought of something else: "I happen to have something to ask you to do."
Now that Qu Zhao has said that these two people will be his own in the future, Qu Zhong feels that there is no need to be polite, and it is time to start working now.
"Master ordered."
Chang Feng straightened his expression and waited for Qu Zhong to speak.
"Go and find out what my third younger brother has been doing these days."
Qu Gao's expression today made his hairs stand on end, and he felt uneasy if he didn't find out.
Unless Zhuangzi is up and running, he will spend a lot of time there.
Xu and Qu Zhao have to face Qu Gao every day, if he has evil intentions, it will be a big trouble for him.
Chang Feng was stunned, and then immediately reported: "Master Hou has sent me to investigate this matter."
They just reported the information they found yesterday, but they didn't expect the second young master to also investigate, so Chang Feng simply reported it again.
"Where did you say Qu Gao often goes?"
After listening to it again, it was as expected, Qu Gao must have listened to Meng Chenyuan's words, so he came back to the mansion obediently.
As for the purpose, I am afraid that only the two of them know.
However, the name Liu Xinyan that appeared in the middle surprised Qu Zhong.
"It's the second lady of Liu Shangshu's mansion." Chang Feng repeated, looking at Qu Zhong suspiciously.
No way, that fellow wandered around outside Liu's mansion when he had nothing to do, could it be because of Liu Xinyan.
Now that Qu Zhong has transmigrated into this world, the villain has not fallen in love with the heroine, could it be that Qu Gao has taken on this task now?
"No way."
Surprised by his own thoughts, Qu Zhong hugged his head and howled.
"Master, I'll call you a doctor." Da Ying, who had been left out for a long time, finally seized the opportunity, and immediately stepped forward courteously.
"Let's go, young master, I'm fine."
Pulling Da Ying's head off, Qu Zhong thought for a while, and waved to Chang Feng: "You send someone to follow Qu Gao."
He wants to see if Qu Gao really has other thoughts about Liu Xinyan now.
The two have nothing to do with each other in the book.
Is it...
Is it because he likes Liu Xinyan, but seeing Qu Zhong's end, that's why he hides his feelings?
"Yes, sir."
Chang Feng nodded, feeling that he immediately understood what Qu Zhong meant.
The second young master must be worried that the third young master will be deceived by the young master of the Meng family, so he ordered to continue the investigation.
What a brotherhood.
Glancing again at the thoughtful Qu Zhong, Chang Feng nodded in satisfaction.
This second young master is not at all a dandy like the rumors from the outside world, who knows how to be filial to his parents and protect his brothers, how bad can he be.
Qu Zhong: I thank you, but actually I am afraid that I will get hurt.
***
After resting in the mansion for a day, Qu Zhao took Mrs. Xu and Qu Zhong to the palace gate early in the morning on the third day.
Qu Zhong obediently followed behind Xu, looking around.
As soon as Qu Zhao entered the palace gate, he went to the front of the palace, and Mrs. Xu took him to the gathering place of the family members and waited.
This imperial palace is much more spectacular than the ones in the TV series, that is, the palace walls must be at least five meters high, and the green bricks on the ground are all the same size and even the same pattern.
The gates of the palaces passing by were all closed. Under the blue sky, the golden glazed tile eaves looked extraordinarily magnificent.
The eunuch who was leading the way was smiling all the time, stretching out his hand to lead the crowd to turn from time to time.
Xu chatted with his familiar wife for a few words.
Everyone was alienated and polite, not at all the kind of sarcasm and cynicism that he saw in Li.
The little eunuch didn't stop until he came to the Golden Luan Hall, took his wives to recognize the carriage in his mansion one by one, and then left.
"Mom, are we waiting here?"
Qu Zhong scanned around and found that the shadow of the emperor could not even be seen in this place. According to the acting method in the TV series, shouldn't he give a speech first.
"Yeah, otherwise where are you going?"
Mrs. Xu wondered why Zhong'er would ask this question because she had visited many times in previous years.
After laughing twice, Qu Zhong touched his nose, can he say that he didn't remember at all.
"It's like this every year, it's just a little boring."
In fact, as long as he used his memory, Qu Zhong could know that although the Golden Luan Hall was big, it couldn't hold so many people.
There are people with official positions in the hall, as well as the queens and concubines in the harem, and the family members of officials are not allowed to enter.
They are now waiting here for the emperor to finish offering sacrifices to heaven, and then they can set off.
"Just wait for another stick of incense."
Looking at the sky, Mrs. Xu comforted Qu Zhong.
"Mother, let me help you to wait in the carriage." Seeing that the sun had already risen, Qu Zhong felt that it was getting hotter and hotter, so he didn't want to suffer here.
"Just wait here."
Xu blinked at Qu Zhong, secretly exerted force with his hands, motioning him to look around.
Now that the emperor is still inside offering sacrifices to heaven, someone actually sits down, and if this will reach the emperor's ears, it will not be charged with disrespect.
"It's Zhong'er who is careless."
Scanning around, Qu Zhong immediately understood Xu's meaning, and looked at the people standing upright around him.
Which one is not dressed in layers and sweating profusely.
But no one dared to get into the carriage, they all stood with blank eyes, surrounded by many maids and women.
"Mother, you can rest with me."
Stretching out his arm, Qu Zhong intends to support Xu Shi.
"Mother is not tired." Xu slightly brushed Qu Zhong's hand away, and reached out to stroke his bun.
Today, for this moment, she got up early in the morning to dress up, and now the gold hairpins on her head hurt her neck.
But she can't lose, looking at the ladies around her, she thinks she is the most beautiful one now.
Uh... Qu Zhong felt that he should take back what he said just now that there was no intrigue. Where there are these wives, there will be fights.
"Qu Zhong, this this"
Not far away, someone seemed to be calling him in a low voice.
Qu Zhong looked back: "Hey, isn't this our Young Master Yao?"
"Would you like to take my carriage? My mother is going to the empress dowager's carriage."
Yao Wenxuan lowered his voice, leaned closer to Qu Zhong, bumped into his body, saw that Mrs. Xu was looking at him, and quickly bowed to salute: "Hello, Auntie, my name is Yao Wenxuan."
"Hello, Mr. Yao."
"Zhong'er, let's go, mother will rest in the carriage later."
Mrs. Xu could not wait for Qu Zhong to go, her back hurts now, and she wished she could take off the hairpin as soon as she got into the carriage.
With her son in front of her, she had to take care of her own face. She could only lie down when he was gone.
Some restlessness ahead.
Qu Zhong felt that the emperor's sacrifice to heaven should be completed.
really.
"Departure..."
A spy's voice came from the front of the line, and Qu Zhong saw that all the people standing around heaved a sigh of relief.
"Mom, I'm going then."
Seeing that Mrs. Xu was impatiently getting ready to get in the car, Qu Zhong had no choice but to accept Yao Wenxuan's invitation.
Not answered.
Because Mrs. Xu got into the carriage a long time ago and didn't even look back to Qu Zhong.
"Let's go."
Covering his mouth and smiling, Yao Wenxuan now knows who Qu Zhong's temper is.
"Let's go."
Sighing, Qu Zhong felt that he was too tired to love now.
In the past six months, Qu Zhong came to this world to meet a few friends. Du Chengji didn't know what he was up to, and there was no news.
As for Wu Yuan, he is busy with scientific research now and has returned to his place of residence.
In the past six months, only Yao Wenxuan has been seen frequently.
"What are you thinking?"
Seeing Qu Zhong staring at the roof of the carriage in a daze, Yao Wenxuan asked curiously.
"I think about the little fat man, I haven't seen him for half a year, so I don't know what to do."
Lying down with a bang, Qu Zhong finally straightened his legs.
The eldest princess's chariot is really good, look at the chariot as wide as a room.
Even if several people lie side by side, they can move freely.
"I heard that for this royal hunting, all the food is prepared by the Du family. You can see it when you go."
Yao Wenxuan also lay down and said indifferently.
This Du Chengji is just a heartless person, he doesn't bother to be with such a small person with IQ.
But it was because of Qu Zhong, so he took care of him by the way, and gave them the chance to become an imperial merchant this time.
"Little fatty got lucky this time." Qu Zhong laughed.
"I'll introduce you to the fourth prince when I arrive at the camp, don't talk nonsense."
This is Yao Wenxuan's main purpose this time, to pave the way for Qu Zhong.
"Understood, by the way, why are you so kind to me?"
In the book, Yao Wenxuan almost lost his life in order to avenge Qu Zhong, which Qu Zhong didn't understand.
As for Qu Zhong in the book, he doesn't seem like a person who stabs at his friends for the sake of his friends. How can he have such a loyal friend.
"Because, only you don't dislike me."
Yao Wenxuan stared at the roof of the car, gradually recalling what happened many years ago.
They were only six years old at that time, the age at which cats and dogs disliked him. Once at a spring feast, he climbed up a tree to pick the bright fruit.
A few children from Xungui's family happened to pass under the tree.
Several people joked that the eldest princess was a second marriage, and that she and Cheng Wenhou, an ugly monster, were a match made in heaven, and also gave birth to an idiot, Yao Wenxuan.
Only Qu Zhong stood up to refute a few people, and even got into a fight in their garden.
In the end, Qu Zhong was pulled by Linyang Hou's ears, but he still refused to apologize.
"You are the son of the eldest princess, those people who despise you are because of their mental illness."
Qu Zhong smiled, in fact, he had complained a thousand times in his heart.
Qu Zhong in the book just heard people talking about a second marriage, and remembered that his mother is also a step-wife, so why is it for him to fight against injustice.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, anyway, you don't have to be too cautious, the fourth prince is quite easy to talk about."
He and the fourth prince grew up together, and he couldn't understand his temperament very well.
"Understood, I will definitely save face for you."
Qu Zhong raised his eyebrows, he was extremely confident in what he brought.
"That's fine, let's take a rest first, and we will be there in a while."
Seeing that Qu Zhong's eyes were already half closed, Yao Wenxuan also stopped talking.
Seeing Meng Chenyuan in the Meng family's carriage this morning, Yao Wenxuan originally wanted to remind Qu Zhong.
But when they think that they are under the eyes of the emperor now, there is nothing to worry about, they are not so courageous.
"Oh."
It was Qu Zhong who answered Yao Wenxuan almost in a whisper.
***
Qu Zhong didn't get out of the carriage full of energy until he had a full sleep in the carriage.
Yao Wenxuan had already gone to the empress dowager's camp, leaving only the servant to lead Qu Zhong to the camp of Linyanghoufu.
After stretching, Qu Zhongcai looked at the place he was in with great interest.
The Royal Hunting Grounds were indeed different.
There is a long fence in front of it, and there is a dense forest beyond the fence, and the situation inside cannot be seen clearly at a glance.
And this side is a large expanse of open camps, with countless tents, large and small, stationed there.
The emperor's camp is the most conspicuous in the tent circle, surrounded by densely packed soldiers, and you can feel the aura of no strangers entering ten meters away.
As the emperor's favorite minister, Marquis of Linyang, the camp of Qu Mansion is naturally not far from the emperor's camp.
So the boy arrived with Qu Zhong in a short while.
"mother."
While opening the door curtain, Qu Zhong called for someone.
"Second brother, are you safe?"
In the tent, Meng Chenyuan was sitting leisurely on a chair, looking at Qu Zhong with a smile.
Qu Zhong was taken aback, this was the first time he saw Meng Chenyuan after eight months.
It seems that the whole person has changed a lot. If he was a flower of Gaoling before, he is probably a wolf with his head hidden in the dark now.
Even the white clothes that had been worn for more than ten years turned into black clothes.
"Master Meng." Qu Zhong also smiled, and bowed his hands quite politely.
"father."
Not ignoring Meng Chenyuan's gloomy look, Qu Zhong walked up behind Qu Zhao and stood up, looking at Meng Chenyuan with a smile.
You pretend, I pretend too, see who can pretend better.
"Chen Yuan, I can't agree to what you said." Qu Zhao said, with some helplessness in his expression.
"Father. Are you really going to stand against me?"
Meng Chenyuan stood up, a dangerous glint flashed across his eyes.
"Chen Yuan, 20 years ago, I personally took your name, and now I also tell you personally that the relationship between my two fathers and sons has been broken, take care."
His eyes darkened, Qu Zhao stood up, and said to Meng Chenyuan word by word.
"Father."
His pupils sank suddenly, and Meng Chenyuan looked at Qu Zhao in disbelief, not believing that these words came from his mouth.
"Let's go."
After waving his hand, Qu Zhao's expression suddenly became much older, and the tiredness on his face could not be hidden.
"Take care of yourself."
Taking a heavy look at the two standing in front of him, Meng Chenyuan turned around.
His heart also kept falling as he turned around. If his mother hadn't told him back then, who was his biological father.
Then is he still the real young master of the Hou Mansion, the future Marquis of Linyang?
Then he doesn't have to struggle hard in the Meng Mansion now, he is afraid that he won't see the sun tomorrow every day.
Meng Wenguang......
Thinking of this name silently in his heart, Meng Chenyuan sneered.
One day, he will bring this person to his mother's grave, and he will personally cut off his blood relationship with this person.
"Father, big brother."
Meng Chenyuan's figure had just stepped out of the tent, but Qu Zhong's voice stopped him.
Brother, this is the first time I've heard that kid call that.
Resisting the urge to look back, Meng Chenyuan strode away.
"Don't call him big brother in the future, he is the young master of the Meng Mansion."
Qu Zhao frowned and sighed deeply.
Chen Yuan must have had a hard time living in Meng Mansion, a dragon pool and a tiger's lair. This is also the reason why his late wife begged before she died, and he agreed.
Although knowing that this child was not of his own blood made him almost go crazy.
But in the end, pity got the upper hand and made the child his eldest son.
He didn't even intend to expose the child's life experience in the end, and he didn't give up until Meng Chenyuan exposed the lie himself.
It turns out that the child already knew these things.
No wonder he has been indifferent to other people in the mansion, it's just that he doesn't care about it.
"Master Meng, why is he looking for his father?" Qu Zhong asked.
"It's just a battle for the throne."
Qu Zhao sighed, pinching the center of his brow wearily.
"Father" looked around, and Qu Zhong clung to Qu Zhao's ear: "In my dream, the fourth prince was injured during this hunting, as long as he survives this time, he will be safe."
"You mean this time?"
Qu Zhao's eyes lit up, he believed half of what Zhong'er said back then.
Now that he said that, I believed it even more.
"Okay, I know about this."
"Emperor Yao came to look for you just now, you go to his tent to look for him." Qu Zhao sent Qu Zhong away.
"Hmph! Unload the mill and kill the donkey."
Qu Zhong curled his lips, and fled out of the camp before Qu Zhao ran away.
Before he had walked a few steps, Yao Wenxuan was passing by not far away with someone beside him.
"Wenxuan."
No need to guess, that young man must be the fourth prince, only this person can make Yao Wenxuan bow down.
"Qu Zhong."
Beckoning to Qu Zhong, Yao Wenxuan moved closer to the young man's ear and said a few words.
"Fourth Highness."
With a plop, Qu Zhongcai was about to come closer and knelt down on his knees to salute.
"Get up, get up, don't kneel blindly in the future, it's scary."
The fourth prince Li Xingchao patted his chest with lingering fear, he was really startled by Qu Zhong's plop just now.
Wen Xuan also said that his friend is a cunning, but now it seems that he is too honest.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Enduring the pain from his knee, Qu Zhong stood up.
You think I want to kneel, I stepped on a pit just now, and my feet are weak.
Yao Wenxuan opened his mouth, watching the ever-changing expression on Qu Zhong's face without blinking.
"Wenxuan said that you are the best at eating, drinking and having fun. How about letting Qu Zhong take us to play for a day today?"
Li Xingchao heard Yao Wenxuan talk about Zhuangzi where he could eat, drink and have fun, which made him look forward to it.
Days on the hunting grounds are always boring.
In previous years, it was very boring to watch geisha dancing or drinking and having fun.
"Your Highness, wait a moment, I will send someone to fetch the things I brought."
Turning around to search around, he found that Da Ying was drooling while watching the singing girl dancing in the distance.
Qu Zhong laughed awkwardly, ran up a few steps and kicked Da Ying a few times: "Hurry up and get the things."
"Oh, I'll go right now."
Finally waking up, Da Ying ran wildly.
"Why don't we find a place to rest and concentrate on watching what Qu Zhong brings."
Li Xingchao secretly smiled, and pointed to his tent in order to alleviate Qu Zhong's embarrassment.
"If we don't go there, what does His Highness think?"
Pointing to the resting pavilion beside the forest, Qu Zhong suggested.
Although the tent is wide enough, the light is too poor. Playing these games is too taxing for the eyes, and it is too hot.
"Row."
Turning around, he immediately ordered the accompanying eunuchs to prepare tea, and Li Xingchao took the lead and walked over there.
As soon as we approached the woods, it seemed that the heat had dissipated a lot, and the unique fragrance of the grass and trees penetrated into the nostrils of several people.
"This place is well chosen."
Li Xingchao clapped his hands and laughed, very satisfied with the pavilion.
Except for the ice cubes in Father's tent, some ice cubes are only provided to cool down in the other camps at night, don't even think about it during the day.
He was too hot in the tent just now, so he came out for a stroll.
It seems that in the next few days, he will have a place to cool off.
A few people waited outside the pavilion for a while, and waited for the eunuchs to clean the pavilion and move the grand master's chair inside before they walked in slowly.
"Look, Your Highness, this is what I brought."
Staring at Da Ying, who was out of breath, Qu Zhongcai opened the box he brought, and took out the things he brought inside one by one.
"This is chess, this is checkers, this is cards."
This time he brought three things, Qu Zhong believed that as long as he taught them these things, it would be easier to pass the few days.
"What? How to play?"
As expected, Li Xingchao became interested and asked Qu Zhong to teach him in a hurry.
"This is how chess is played."
Just like in his grandfather's mansion, Qu Zhong explained how to play chess.
Apparently, the two people sitting across from each other were both extremely intelligent.
After an incense stick of kung fu, he understood the gameplay, and even played a few games with Qu Zhong before defeating him immediately.
"Your Highness is too smart, I am no match, Wen Xuan, come here."
Flattering half-truths and half-falsely, Qu Zhong gave Yao Wenxuan this useless matter.
Playing chess is not difficult, but how to lose half-truths is the most difficult.
Yao Wenxuan didn't have Qu Zhong's thoughts, he made every step of the way, and he was inseparable from Li Xingchao.
Yo!litchi.
And Qu Zhong's mind was completely attracted by the fruit in front of him.
This lychee is not something that ordinary people can eat. This thing is only grown near the sea, and it is a royal offering.
Even Qu Mansion can only eat some occasionally when the emperor rewards it.
It seems that these four princes have a good status in the emperor's heart. Look at the eunuchs and guards following them.
Although there was no crown prince, Emperor Tianming probably raised the fourth prince as his heir.
"Wenxuan, you shouldn't have taken this step."
While eating lychees, Qu Zhong pointed fingers at Yao Wenxuan and frequently disliked his chess skills.
"Let's go."
After wiping the juice on his face, Yao Wenxuan pushed Qu Zhong's big head away.
"It seems that the two of you are really good friends."
Just after eating a car, Li Xingchao smiled meaningfully.
"This person is my only friend, Your Highness laughed."
Yao Wenxuan was outspoken and did not hide his intention to introduce Qu Zhong at all.
Smiling and nodding, Li Xingchao was noncommittal.
Qu Zhong has no intention of power, and his temperament is not smooth enough.
But he was lucky to have a father like Qu Zhao and a friend like Yao Wenxuan.
The two tried their best to pave the way for him and let him show his face in front of them.
but......
Smiling and looking at Qu Zhong who had almost finished eating the lychees on the plate, Li Xingchao felt that this person might not only have no intention of power, but also might not even have the idea to step in.
"Your Highness, you eat, you eat."
Swept away by Li Xingchao's eyes, Qu Zhong felt that he must have eaten too much.
So he hastily peeled the lychee and put it in a delicate small disk and handed it to Li Xingchao with both hands.
"You man, hahaha"
Li Xingchao was completely amused, wondering how Qu Zhong's brain grew.
"What are you doing?"
Speechlessly, he tugged on Qu Zhong's sleeve, and Yao Wenxuan felt his forehead tighten.
I saw him peeling lychees just now, and I thought this guy was so obsessed with this fruit.
Unexpectedly, it was dedicated to His Highness.
The work of peeling the fruit is done by concubines and court ladies, and it is used by red sleeves to add fragrance.
"Your Highness, please use it."
I don't know why Yao Wenxuan wanted to pull his sleeves, but Qu Zhong urged him flatteringly.
"Hahaha, okay, I'll come and taste the fruit."
Li Xingchao was smiling, and actually dropped one into his mouth, eating it with great relish.
Yao Wenxuan: ...
Qu Zhong: It's really strange, I peeled you with good intentions, what a joke.
Of course the single dog Qu Zhong didn't know about these things, he just twirled a grape and threw it into his mouth with peace of mind in the eyes of the two of them.
Yao Wenxuan: ...
"Tomorrow's hunting, you follow us closely, don't get lost."
Yao Wenxuan shook his head, he didn't plan to get entangled in this matter anymore, the hunting will be the real thing tomorrow.
"Okay." Qu Zhong nodded.
Tomorrow is the highlight, so of course he has to keep up.
On the contrary, he hunched over and told in detail about Qu Zhong's absence these days.
Qu Gao returned to Qu Mansion a few days ago.
As soon as he came back, he went to the Furong Hall where Luo Shi lived, and knelt down in front of Luo Shi with such a plop. First, he cried bitterly, and then he sincerely admitted his mistake, expressing that he would change his mind like Qu Zhong.
Qu Zhong: There is something wrong with you, you have to drag me?
Qu Gao was originally raised by Luo Shi, and this cry must have had a significant effect, and the two of them immediately hugged each other and cried.
On the second day, before dawn, Qu Zhong went to the main courtyard and re-enacted yesterday's drama.
As for whether Qu Zhao and Xu believe it or not, no one knows.
Da Ying only knows that these days, Qu Gao is jumping up and down in the mansion, the second young master is not there, and the third young master is just like the eldest young master in the mansion, full of style.
Hey, this guy has really changed his mind, or was he woken up by someone.
Qu Chenyuan, oh no, it should be called Meng Chenyuan now.
Qu Zhong thought of this name, based on what he knew about Qu Gaodi, this person is not smart enough, but he is obedient enough, and the one who can make him obedient is nothing but Meng Chenyuan.
These two people are planning to make some trouble now.
"Wait for Grandpa to meet."
Hearing that Da Ying said that people are eating in the side hall now, Qu Zhong's eyes flashed, and he turned around and went to the side hall.
"Grandmother, Zhong'er misses you so much."
Before the person arrived, Qu Zhong's protracted coquettish voice had already entered the side hall.
The few people who were eating were startled and trembled in unison.
Luo Shi coldly snorted angrily: "I miss grandma, the one who doesn't have a home."
Although he could receive gadgets from Qu Zhong from time to time, Luo Shi hadn't seen anyone for several months now.
Xu's always said that people are busy in Zhuangzi, but Luo's doesn't believe it, he must have reverted to his old ways and went to hang out in the brothel again. Gao'er is right, this dog can't change his eating shit.
"Grandmother, my Zhuangzi is about to be finished soon. You can go and see it then."
Tiredly leaning over to Luo Shi's side, the servant girl placed a stool winkingly, Qu Zhong took the opportunity to sit down, and by the way squeezed Qu Gao who was sitting next to him.
This bitch actually sat next to Luo Shi and Xu Shi, and it seemed that she was flattering.
"A majestic young master of the Hou's mansion, he does not do business, but always thinks of crooked ways"
He had only heard a few words from the mothers-in-law, Luo Shi didn't know what Qu Zhong was going to do.
Qu Zhong's integrity, it's only been a few months, and Luo Shi's impression of himself has returned to the original point.
"Grandma, look at what you said, I brought you something good, I'll show you after dinner."
He attentively picked up some dishes with chopsticks for Luo Shi, and Qu Zhongcai took advantage of the effort to look at Xia Qugao.
scare!
This is Qu Gao?
This warm and jade-like young man in white clothes is the Qu Gao who doesn't look up all day and wears dusty clothes.
"Mother, try this."
Beside him, Qu Gao was picking up vegetables for Mrs. Xu, and carefully picked out all the fishbone, before handing over the small plate with the vegetables.
Feeling cold, Qu Zhong almost choked on the vegetables in his mouth.
Why does it always feel like I've seen it somewhere before?
From the corner of his eye, after looking carefully for a while, Qu Zhong finally knew where this feeling came from.
Isn't this a copy of Qu Chenyuan?
"Third brother, are you finally willing to go back home?"
He glanced at Qu Gao with a half-smile, Qu Zhong felt that if he didn't stab him a few words, he wouldn't be a good man.
"Second brother, the younger brother used to be ignorant, so the second brother should stop teasing the younger brother."
Qu Gao smiled, he didn't seem to mind Qu Zhong's sarcasm at all, even the corners of his lips were raised.
Qu Zhong shuddered, almost blinded by the smile, the stiff corners of the mouth, coupled with the gloomy eyes, no matter how you look at it, it looks like wearing a mask.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Qu Zhao coughed lightly, interrupting the two of them, he also felt that Gao Er's smile was really weird.
"Eat, eat, hehe."
Smiling dryly, he forced the food into his mouth, Qu Zhong cast a glance at Da Ying beside him, and gave up the plan of asking him to inquire for a while.
"Look at the way you eat, you don't have the upbringing of the Hou Mansion."
Luo Shi put down the bowl and began to criticize Qu Zhong.
"Grandmother, look what I brought you."
Ignoring Luo Shi's scolding, Qu Zhong quickly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and ordered Da Ying: "Go and carry the things brought back by the master."
"Yes, sir."
Da Ying ran out in a hurry, not sure if he was too excited to run, or was frightened by Qu Gao.
I didn't even see the big steps in the courtyard, and I missed a step and fell solidly.
Qu Zhong: I have to find a normal person to be my assistant again.
Needless to say, as soon as this thing was lifted up, Roche was overjoyed, and even thought about the use of this thing.
"You have a conscience, boy."
When supporting the mother-in-law's hand and going out of the side hall, Luo Shi was finally willing to smile at Qu Zhong.
"Grandmother, go slowly, I'll go to pay my respects tomorrow." Qu Zhong smiled obsequiously.
Just kidding, he has only used his first move now, and when he makes his big move, his grandmother will definitely miss him every day.
"Um"
If Qu Zhong said in the past to pay his respects, Luo Shi would definitely give him two big eyes. Tonight, he just nodded casually, and he knew how satisfied she was with today's gift.
Then he turned his head and glanced at Qu Gao, and found that he was still sitting on the spot thoughtfully.
"Mother, son, talk to you..."
Stretching out his hand to support Xu's arm, Qu Zhong bent over like a dog.
Seeing his son's behavior, Xu knew that this kid must have no money: "Okay, let's go, Gao'er should go back to the yard to rest earlier."
"Yes, mother, Gao'er has returned to his room."
Bent down respectfully waiting for Xu Shi and Qu Zhao to leave the side hall first, Qu Gao kept his head down, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.
It was a scorchingly hot day, and the yard wasn't much cooler at night, even the wind carried heat.
"You monkey, don't you have no money again?"
After leaving the front yard, Xu patted Qu Zhong on the back of his hand.
"Mother, it was Dad who wrote me to come back." Qu Zhong was dissatisfied.
Although he really needs money now, what can he say? Of course he can't.
"You boy, we don't know you yet."
Qu Zhao, who had been following the two of them all the time, made a sound and immediately dismantled Qu Zhong's platform.
"Mom, look at Dad."
Shaking Xu's arm in dissatisfaction, Qu Zhong felt goosebumps all over his heart.
You deserve it, macho coquettish.
"If you want money, call him father, if you don't want money, call him father. You still argue."
Twitching the corner of his mouth, Qu Zhao resisted waving his hand, casually glanced at the figure falling far behind him.
"Father, give me the money."
Taking out the purse from his arms, Qu Zhong threw it to Qu Zhao; "Fill it up."
"You stinky boy."
Finally unable to hold back, Qu Zhao stretched out his hand and knocked Qu Zhong on the head, quite hard.
While covering his head, while backing away, Qu Zhong smiled openly: "Father is jealous that I support mother."
"You bastard, get the hell out of here."
Unexpectedly, being ridiculed by his son, Qu Zhong was embarrassed, and he lifted his clothes to catch Qu Zhong.
"Haha, dad, you are old, you can't catch it."
While running forward at high speed, Qu Zhong turned his head and raised his eyebrows meanly.
"If I don't beat you today, I won't be your father."
Qu Zhao shouted, shaking the purse in his hand, and really ran.
"That's Zhong'er, let the master become like a child." Xu looked at it with a smile, and didn't intend to stop it, but murmured a few words to the woman beside her.
The mother-in-law didn't dare to talk too much, so she had to echo a few words.
The Eldest Young Master is gone, and now the Second Young Master's world is not in his hands. If anyone dares to say that the Second Young Master is not good, the mother-in-law thinks that Xu can eat her raw.
"Do you feel like a family now?"
Of course, she didn't expect the mother-in-law to discuss with her, Xu just said a few words with emotion.
And Qu Gao, who fell far behind, has been walking alone.
Seeing that he was approaching the fork in the road, his eyes were still glued to the people in front of him.
His hard work in the past few months was destroyed by Qu Zhong as soon as he came back.
"Qu Zhong..."
The voice seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth, Qu Gao's eyes were pressed, and a chill rose from the bottom of his eyes.
"Third Young Master, Young Master Meng has written to you."
The valet behind him caught up panting, and hastily handed over the letter he had received before dinner.
He also heard the young master's mumbling just now, but he didn't dare to say anything.
If I don't obey, I'm afraid I don't know how to die.
Opening the letter, Qu Zhong glanced at the lantern carried by the servant.
"It's your fate."
The few people in front of him walked further and further away, Qu Gao crumpled the letter in his hand angrily, his eyes gradually turned red.
If his elder brother hadn't asked him to come back to monitor Qu Zhao, he wouldn't have returned home.
He knew that Xu's aunt was not the one who killed her, but he still felt hatred, hated Qu Zhao for not being kind to his mother, hated Qu Zhong, hated for no reason.
If he was a serious young master of the Hou family, then Miss Liu would not avoid him.
If he was Lord Hou, he would be able to propose marriage to the Liu Mansion in person.
But he is just a young master from a concubine, not even qualified to propose marriage to Miss Liu.
"Liu Xinyan, wait for me for a few years, and I will definitely become the master of this Hou's mansion."
Completely pretending that the servant did not exist, Qu Gao stroked a small hairpin in a daze, and stood there murmuring without hesitation.
***
"Chang Feng, Chang Yun, from now on you will follow the master."
Although he was finally caught and beaten by Qu Zhao, he gained a lot anyway, no, he also got two followers.
Qu Zhong carefully looked at them in the main courtyard, and both of them should have some skills.
And I heard from my father that Chang Yun is still a master at calculating accounts, so Qu Zhong will not have to worry about all the accounts in Zhuangzi in the future.
"Thank you, Master."
Chang Feng and Chang Yun bowed their hands, neither humble nor overbearing, without any sense of inferiority at all, which made Da Ying sneer at the side.
"Okay, okay, you're welcome."
Waving his hand casually, Qu Zhong didn't care at all, but excitedly took out the bank note he just got from his arms.
It's still father enough, scolding is scolding, and this move is generous enough.
"Chang Yun, you will take care of my private treasury from now on."
After looking at it for a while, Qu Zhong handed the bank note to Chang Yun, and he didn't have to worry about it anymore when someone else took care of the account.
"Yes, sir."
Chang Yun took the bank notes, and immediately counted them in front of several people.
Qu Zhong looked at him with black eyes, not knowing whether to praise this man's true nature, or to be impatient.
Chang Feng was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly bowed his hands to Li Junzhu: "The two of us were originally retired from the imperial guards, and we will be the second young master's people from now on."
"Chang Yuan used to be in charge of accounts in the imperial guards. Every time he paid monthly salaries to the brothers in the yamen, he counted directly in this way, and he was used to counting."
"Nothing, nothing."
Waving his hand indifferently, Qu Zhong thought of something else: "I happen to have something to ask you to do."
Now that Qu Zhao has said that these two people will be his own in the future, Qu Zhong feels that there is no need to be polite, and it is time to start working now.
"Master ordered."
Chang Feng straightened his expression and waited for Qu Zhong to speak.
"Go and find out what my third younger brother has been doing these days."
Qu Gao's expression today made his hairs stand on end, and he felt uneasy if he didn't find out.
Unless Zhuangzi is up and running, he will spend a lot of time there.
Xu and Qu Zhao have to face Qu Gao every day, if he has evil intentions, it will be a big trouble for him.
Chang Feng was stunned, and then immediately reported: "Master Hou has sent me to investigate this matter."
They just reported the information they found yesterday, but they didn't expect the second young master to also investigate, so Chang Feng simply reported it again.
"Where did you say Qu Gao often goes?"
After listening to it again, it was as expected, Qu Gao must have listened to Meng Chenyuan's words, so he came back to the mansion obediently.
As for the purpose, I am afraid that only the two of them know.
However, the name Liu Xinyan that appeared in the middle surprised Qu Zhong.
"It's the second lady of Liu Shangshu's mansion." Chang Feng repeated, looking at Qu Zhong suspiciously.
No way, that fellow wandered around outside Liu's mansion when he had nothing to do, could it be because of Liu Xinyan.
Now that Qu Zhong has transmigrated into this world, the villain has not fallen in love with the heroine, could it be that Qu Gao has taken on this task now?
"No way."
Surprised by his own thoughts, Qu Zhong hugged his head and howled.
"Master, I'll call you a doctor." Da Ying, who had been left out for a long time, finally seized the opportunity, and immediately stepped forward courteously.
"Let's go, young master, I'm fine."
Pulling Da Ying's head off, Qu Zhong thought for a while, and waved to Chang Feng: "You send someone to follow Qu Gao."
He wants to see if Qu Gao really has other thoughts about Liu Xinyan now.
The two have nothing to do with each other in the book.
Is it...
Is it because he likes Liu Xinyan, but seeing Qu Zhong's end, that's why he hides his feelings?
"Yes, sir."
Chang Feng nodded, feeling that he immediately understood what Qu Zhong meant.
The second young master must be worried that the third young master will be deceived by the young master of the Meng family, so he ordered to continue the investigation.
What a brotherhood.
Glancing again at the thoughtful Qu Zhong, Chang Feng nodded in satisfaction.
This second young master is not at all a dandy like the rumors from the outside world, who knows how to be filial to his parents and protect his brothers, how bad can he be.
Qu Zhong: I thank you, but actually I am afraid that I will get hurt.
***
After resting in the mansion for a day, Qu Zhao took Mrs. Xu and Qu Zhong to the palace gate early in the morning on the third day.
Qu Zhong obediently followed behind Xu, looking around.
As soon as Qu Zhao entered the palace gate, he went to the front of the palace, and Mrs. Xu took him to the gathering place of the family members and waited.
This imperial palace is much more spectacular than the ones in the TV series, that is, the palace walls must be at least five meters high, and the green bricks on the ground are all the same size and even the same pattern.
The gates of the palaces passing by were all closed. Under the blue sky, the golden glazed tile eaves looked extraordinarily magnificent.
The eunuch who was leading the way was smiling all the time, stretching out his hand to lead the crowd to turn from time to time.
Xu chatted with his familiar wife for a few words.
Everyone was alienated and polite, not at all the kind of sarcasm and cynicism that he saw in Li.
The little eunuch didn't stop until he came to the Golden Luan Hall, took his wives to recognize the carriage in his mansion one by one, and then left.
"Mom, are we waiting here?"
Qu Zhong scanned around and found that the shadow of the emperor could not even be seen in this place. According to the acting method in the TV series, shouldn't he give a speech first.
"Yeah, otherwise where are you going?"
Mrs. Xu wondered why Zhong'er would ask this question because she had visited many times in previous years.
After laughing twice, Qu Zhong touched his nose, can he say that he didn't remember at all.
"It's like this every year, it's just a little boring."
In fact, as long as he used his memory, Qu Zhong could know that although the Golden Luan Hall was big, it couldn't hold so many people.
There are people with official positions in the hall, as well as the queens and concubines in the harem, and the family members of officials are not allowed to enter.
They are now waiting here for the emperor to finish offering sacrifices to heaven, and then they can set off.
"Just wait for another stick of incense."
Looking at the sky, Mrs. Xu comforted Qu Zhong.
"Mother, let me help you to wait in the carriage." Seeing that the sun had already risen, Qu Zhong felt that it was getting hotter and hotter, so he didn't want to suffer here.
"Just wait here."
Xu blinked at Qu Zhong, secretly exerted force with his hands, motioning him to look around.
Now that the emperor is still inside offering sacrifices to heaven, someone actually sits down, and if this will reach the emperor's ears, it will not be charged with disrespect.
"It's Zhong'er who is careless."
Scanning around, Qu Zhong immediately understood Xu's meaning, and looked at the people standing upright around him.
Which one is not dressed in layers and sweating profusely.
But no one dared to get into the carriage, they all stood with blank eyes, surrounded by many maids and women.
"Mother, you can rest with me."
Stretching out his arm, Qu Zhong intends to support Xu Shi.
"Mother is not tired." Xu slightly brushed Qu Zhong's hand away, and reached out to stroke his bun.
Today, for this moment, she got up early in the morning to dress up, and now the gold hairpins on her head hurt her neck.
But she can't lose, looking at the ladies around her, she thinks she is the most beautiful one now.
Uh... Qu Zhong felt that he should take back what he said just now that there was no intrigue. Where there are these wives, there will be fights.
"Qu Zhong, this this"
Not far away, someone seemed to be calling him in a low voice.
Qu Zhong looked back: "Hey, isn't this our Young Master Yao?"
"Would you like to take my carriage? My mother is going to the empress dowager's carriage."
Yao Wenxuan lowered his voice, leaned closer to Qu Zhong, bumped into his body, saw that Mrs. Xu was looking at him, and quickly bowed to salute: "Hello, Auntie, my name is Yao Wenxuan."
"Hello, Mr. Yao."
"Zhong'er, let's go, mother will rest in the carriage later."
Mrs. Xu could not wait for Qu Zhong to go, her back hurts now, and she wished she could take off the hairpin as soon as she got into the carriage.
With her son in front of her, she had to take care of her own face. She could only lie down when he was gone.
Some restlessness ahead.
Qu Zhong felt that the emperor's sacrifice to heaven should be completed.
really.
"Departure..."
A spy's voice came from the front of the line, and Qu Zhong saw that all the people standing around heaved a sigh of relief.
"Mom, I'm going then."
Seeing that Mrs. Xu was impatiently getting ready to get in the car, Qu Zhong had no choice but to accept Yao Wenxuan's invitation.
Not answered.
Because Mrs. Xu got into the carriage a long time ago and didn't even look back to Qu Zhong.
"Let's go."
Covering his mouth and smiling, Yao Wenxuan now knows who Qu Zhong's temper is.
"Let's go."
Sighing, Qu Zhong felt that he was too tired to love now.
In the past six months, Qu Zhong came to this world to meet a few friends. Du Chengji didn't know what he was up to, and there was no news.
As for Wu Yuan, he is busy with scientific research now and has returned to his place of residence.
In the past six months, only Yao Wenxuan has been seen frequently.
"What are you thinking?"
Seeing Qu Zhong staring at the roof of the carriage in a daze, Yao Wenxuan asked curiously.
"I think about the little fat man, I haven't seen him for half a year, so I don't know what to do."
Lying down with a bang, Qu Zhong finally straightened his legs.
The eldest princess's chariot is really good, look at the chariot as wide as a room.
Even if several people lie side by side, they can move freely.
"I heard that for this royal hunting, all the food is prepared by the Du family. You can see it when you go."
Yao Wenxuan also lay down and said indifferently.
This Du Chengji is just a heartless person, he doesn't bother to be with such a small person with IQ.
But it was because of Qu Zhong, so he took care of him by the way, and gave them the chance to become an imperial merchant this time.
"Little fatty got lucky this time." Qu Zhong laughed.
"I'll introduce you to the fourth prince when I arrive at the camp, don't talk nonsense."
This is Yao Wenxuan's main purpose this time, to pave the way for Qu Zhong.
"Understood, by the way, why are you so kind to me?"
In the book, Yao Wenxuan almost lost his life in order to avenge Qu Zhong, which Qu Zhong didn't understand.
As for Qu Zhong in the book, he doesn't seem like a person who stabs at his friends for the sake of his friends. How can he have such a loyal friend.
"Because, only you don't dislike me."
Yao Wenxuan stared at the roof of the car, gradually recalling what happened many years ago.
They were only six years old at that time, the age at which cats and dogs disliked him. Once at a spring feast, he climbed up a tree to pick the bright fruit.
A few children from Xungui's family happened to pass under the tree.
Several people joked that the eldest princess was a second marriage, and that she and Cheng Wenhou, an ugly monster, were a match made in heaven, and also gave birth to an idiot, Yao Wenxuan.
Only Qu Zhong stood up to refute a few people, and even got into a fight in their garden.
In the end, Qu Zhong was pulled by Linyang Hou's ears, but he still refused to apologize.
"You are the son of the eldest princess, those people who despise you are because of their mental illness."
Qu Zhong smiled, in fact, he had complained a thousand times in his heart.
Qu Zhong in the book just heard people talking about a second marriage, and remembered that his mother is also a step-wife, so why is it for him to fight against injustice.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, anyway, you don't have to be too cautious, the fourth prince is quite easy to talk about."
He and the fourth prince grew up together, and he couldn't understand his temperament very well.
"Understood, I will definitely save face for you."
Qu Zhong raised his eyebrows, he was extremely confident in what he brought.
"That's fine, let's take a rest first, and we will be there in a while."
Seeing that Qu Zhong's eyes were already half closed, Yao Wenxuan also stopped talking.
Seeing Meng Chenyuan in the Meng family's carriage this morning, Yao Wenxuan originally wanted to remind Qu Zhong.
But when they think that they are under the eyes of the emperor now, there is nothing to worry about, they are not so courageous.
"Oh."
It was Qu Zhong who answered Yao Wenxuan almost in a whisper.
***
Qu Zhong didn't get out of the carriage full of energy until he had a full sleep in the carriage.
Yao Wenxuan had already gone to the empress dowager's camp, leaving only the servant to lead Qu Zhong to the camp of Linyanghoufu.
After stretching, Qu Zhongcai looked at the place he was in with great interest.
The Royal Hunting Grounds were indeed different.
There is a long fence in front of it, and there is a dense forest beyond the fence, and the situation inside cannot be seen clearly at a glance.
And this side is a large expanse of open camps, with countless tents, large and small, stationed there.
The emperor's camp is the most conspicuous in the tent circle, surrounded by densely packed soldiers, and you can feel the aura of no strangers entering ten meters away.
As the emperor's favorite minister, Marquis of Linyang, the camp of Qu Mansion is naturally not far from the emperor's camp.
So the boy arrived with Qu Zhong in a short while.
"mother."
While opening the door curtain, Qu Zhong called for someone.
"Second brother, are you safe?"
In the tent, Meng Chenyuan was sitting leisurely on a chair, looking at Qu Zhong with a smile.
Qu Zhong was taken aback, this was the first time he saw Meng Chenyuan after eight months.
It seems that the whole person has changed a lot. If he was a flower of Gaoling before, he is probably a wolf with his head hidden in the dark now.
Even the white clothes that had been worn for more than ten years turned into black clothes.
"Master Meng." Qu Zhong also smiled, and bowed his hands quite politely.
"father."
Not ignoring Meng Chenyuan's gloomy look, Qu Zhong walked up behind Qu Zhao and stood up, looking at Meng Chenyuan with a smile.
You pretend, I pretend too, see who can pretend better.
"Chen Yuan, I can't agree to what you said." Qu Zhao said, with some helplessness in his expression.
"Father. Are you really going to stand against me?"
Meng Chenyuan stood up, a dangerous glint flashed across his eyes.
"Chen Yuan, 20 years ago, I personally took your name, and now I also tell you personally that the relationship between my two fathers and sons has been broken, take care."
His eyes darkened, Qu Zhao stood up, and said to Meng Chenyuan word by word.
"Father."
His pupils sank suddenly, and Meng Chenyuan looked at Qu Zhao in disbelief, not believing that these words came from his mouth.
"Let's go."
After waving his hand, Qu Zhao's expression suddenly became much older, and the tiredness on his face could not be hidden.
"Take care of yourself."
Taking a heavy look at the two standing in front of him, Meng Chenyuan turned around.
His heart also kept falling as he turned around. If his mother hadn't told him back then, who was his biological father.
Then is he still the real young master of the Hou Mansion, the future Marquis of Linyang?
Then he doesn't have to struggle hard in the Meng Mansion now, he is afraid that he won't see the sun tomorrow every day.
Meng Wenguang......
Thinking of this name silently in his heart, Meng Chenyuan sneered.
One day, he will bring this person to his mother's grave, and he will personally cut off his blood relationship with this person.
"Father, big brother."
Meng Chenyuan's figure had just stepped out of the tent, but Qu Zhong's voice stopped him.
Brother, this is the first time I've heard that kid call that.
Resisting the urge to look back, Meng Chenyuan strode away.
"Don't call him big brother in the future, he is the young master of the Meng Mansion."
Qu Zhao frowned and sighed deeply.
Chen Yuan must have had a hard time living in Meng Mansion, a dragon pool and a tiger's lair. This is also the reason why his late wife begged before she died, and he agreed.
Although knowing that this child was not of his own blood made him almost go crazy.
But in the end, pity got the upper hand and made the child his eldest son.
He didn't even intend to expose the child's life experience in the end, and he didn't give up until Meng Chenyuan exposed the lie himself.
It turns out that the child already knew these things.
No wonder he has been indifferent to other people in the mansion, it's just that he doesn't care about it.
"Master Meng, why is he looking for his father?" Qu Zhong asked.
"It's just a battle for the throne."
Qu Zhao sighed, pinching the center of his brow wearily.
"Father" looked around, and Qu Zhong clung to Qu Zhao's ear: "In my dream, the fourth prince was injured during this hunting, as long as he survives this time, he will be safe."
"You mean this time?"
Qu Zhao's eyes lit up, he believed half of what Zhong'er said back then.
Now that he said that, I believed it even more.
"Okay, I know about this."
"Emperor Yao came to look for you just now, you go to his tent to look for him." Qu Zhao sent Qu Zhong away.
"Hmph! Unload the mill and kill the donkey."
Qu Zhong curled his lips, and fled out of the camp before Qu Zhao ran away.
Before he had walked a few steps, Yao Wenxuan was passing by not far away with someone beside him.
"Wenxuan."
No need to guess, that young man must be the fourth prince, only this person can make Yao Wenxuan bow down.
"Qu Zhong."
Beckoning to Qu Zhong, Yao Wenxuan moved closer to the young man's ear and said a few words.
"Fourth Highness."
With a plop, Qu Zhongcai was about to come closer and knelt down on his knees to salute.
"Get up, get up, don't kneel blindly in the future, it's scary."
The fourth prince Li Xingchao patted his chest with lingering fear, he was really startled by Qu Zhong's plop just now.
Wen Xuan also said that his friend is a cunning, but now it seems that he is too honest.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Enduring the pain from his knee, Qu Zhong stood up.
You think I want to kneel, I stepped on a pit just now, and my feet are weak.
Yao Wenxuan opened his mouth, watching the ever-changing expression on Qu Zhong's face without blinking.
"Wenxuan said that you are the best at eating, drinking and having fun. How about letting Qu Zhong take us to play for a day today?"
Li Xingchao heard Yao Wenxuan talk about Zhuangzi where he could eat, drink and have fun, which made him look forward to it.
Days on the hunting grounds are always boring.
In previous years, it was very boring to watch geisha dancing or drinking and having fun.
"Your Highness, wait a moment, I will send someone to fetch the things I brought."
Turning around to search around, he found that Da Ying was drooling while watching the singing girl dancing in the distance.
Qu Zhong laughed awkwardly, ran up a few steps and kicked Da Ying a few times: "Hurry up and get the things."
"Oh, I'll go right now."
Finally waking up, Da Ying ran wildly.
"Why don't we find a place to rest and concentrate on watching what Qu Zhong brings."
Li Xingchao secretly smiled, and pointed to his tent in order to alleviate Qu Zhong's embarrassment.
"If we don't go there, what does His Highness think?"
Pointing to the resting pavilion beside the forest, Qu Zhong suggested.
Although the tent is wide enough, the light is too poor. Playing these games is too taxing for the eyes, and it is too hot.
"Row."
Turning around, he immediately ordered the accompanying eunuchs to prepare tea, and Li Xingchao took the lead and walked over there.
As soon as we approached the woods, it seemed that the heat had dissipated a lot, and the unique fragrance of the grass and trees penetrated into the nostrils of several people.
"This place is well chosen."
Li Xingchao clapped his hands and laughed, very satisfied with the pavilion.
Except for the ice cubes in Father's tent, some ice cubes are only provided to cool down in the other camps at night, don't even think about it during the day.
He was too hot in the tent just now, so he came out for a stroll.
It seems that in the next few days, he will have a place to cool off.
A few people waited outside the pavilion for a while, and waited for the eunuchs to clean the pavilion and move the grand master's chair inside before they walked in slowly.
"Look, Your Highness, this is what I brought."
Staring at Da Ying, who was out of breath, Qu Zhongcai opened the box he brought, and took out the things he brought inside one by one.
"This is chess, this is checkers, this is cards."
This time he brought three things, Qu Zhong believed that as long as he taught them these things, it would be easier to pass the few days.
"What? How to play?"
As expected, Li Xingchao became interested and asked Qu Zhong to teach him in a hurry.
"This is how chess is played."
Just like in his grandfather's mansion, Qu Zhong explained how to play chess.
Apparently, the two people sitting across from each other were both extremely intelligent.
After an incense stick of kung fu, he understood the gameplay, and even played a few games with Qu Zhong before defeating him immediately.
"Your Highness is too smart, I am no match, Wen Xuan, come here."
Flattering half-truths and half-falsely, Qu Zhong gave Yao Wenxuan this useless matter.
Playing chess is not difficult, but how to lose half-truths is the most difficult.
Yao Wenxuan didn't have Qu Zhong's thoughts, he made every step of the way, and he was inseparable from Li Xingchao.
Yo!litchi.
And Qu Zhong's mind was completely attracted by the fruit in front of him.
This lychee is not something that ordinary people can eat. This thing is only grown near the sea, and it is a royal offering.
Even Qu Mansion can only eat some occasionally when the emperor rewards it.
It seems that these four princes have a good status in the emperor's heart. Look at the eunuchs and guards following them.
Although there was no crown prince, Emperor Tianming probably raised the fourth prince as his heir.
"Wenxuan, you shouldn't have taken this step."
While eating lychees, Qu Zhong pointed fingers at Yao Wenxuan and frequently disliked his chess skills.
"Let's go."
After wiping the juice on his face, Yao Wenxuan pushed Qu Zhong's big head away.
"It seems that the two of you are really good friends."
Just after eating a car, Li Xingchao smiled meaningfully.
"This person is my only friend, Your Highness laughed."
Yao Wenxuan was outspoken and did not hide his intention to introduce Qu Zhong at all.
Smiling and nodding, Li Xingchao was noncommittal.
Qu Zhong has no intention of power, and his temperament is not smooth enough.
But he was lucky to have a father like Qu Zhao and a friend like Yao Wenxuan.
The two tried their best to pave the way for him and let him show his face in front of them.
but......
Smiling and looking at Qu Zhong who had almost finished eating the lychees on the plate, Li Xingchao felt that this person might not only have no intention of power, but also might not even have the idea to step in.
"Your Highness, you eat, you eat."
Swept away by Li Xingchao's eyes, Qu Zhong felt that he must have eaten too much.
So he hastily peeled the lychee and put it in a delicate small disk and handed it to Li Xingchao with both hands.
"You man, hahaha"
Li Xingchao was completely amused, wondering how Qu Zhong's brain grew.
"What are you doing?"
Speechlessly, he tugged on Qu Zhong's sleeve, and Yao Wenxuan felt his forehead tighten.
I saw him peeling lychees just now, and I thought this guy was so obsessed with this fruit.
Unexpectedly, it was dedicated to His Highness.
The work of peeling the fruit is done by concubines and court ladies, and it is used by red sleeves to add fragrance.
"Your Highness, please use it."
I don't know why Yao Wenxuan wanted to pull his sleeves, but Qu Zhong urged him flatteringly.
"Hahaha, okay, I'll come and taste the fruit."
Li Xingchao was smiling, and actually dropped one into his mouth, eating it with great relish.
Yao Wenxuan: ...
Qu Zhong: It's really strange, I peeled you with good intentions, what a joke.
Of course the single dog Qu Zhong didn't know about these things, he just twirled a grape and threw it into his mouth with peace of mind in the eyes of the two of them.
Yao Wenxuan: ...
"Tomorrow's hunting, you follow us closely, don't get lost."
Yao Wenxuan shook his head, he didn't plan to get entangled in this matter anymore, the hunting will be the real thing tomorrow.
"Okay." Qu Zhong nodded.
Tomorrow is the highlight, so of course he has to keep up.
