my lord is sick

After a few days, when Xiao Chengzhou was going home at midnight, he suddenly received an invitation card from the Chen family who was not familiar with him.This Chen family can also get a little relationship with the queen after going through many twists and turns.The queen's younger sister Liu Qi married Qiu Yong, and Qiu Yong's younger sister Qiu Yifang married into the Chen family. The person who posted to Xiao Chengzhou was Qiu Yifang's youngest son, Chen Ziming.

Holding the invitation card, Xiao Chengzhou smiled, the empress really wouldn't give up so easily, she still wanted to point Qiu Qingqing to be her princess, it was really hard work going around.However, Xiao Chengzhou still wanted to go to this banquet, and still planned to bring Xie Yan along.

Perhaps it was because he knew that Xiao Chengzhou and Xie Yan had a good relationship, and before Xiao Chengzhou had time to tell Xie Yan, Xie Yan took the initiative to mention that he had also received an invitation from Chen Ziming, so Xiao Chengzhou took advantage of the trend and said to go together, Xie Yan hesitated, and Xiao Chengzhou Go together.

The banquet was held at a manor under the name of the Chen family outside of the capital city. There were quite a few people who were invited by Chen Ziming to attend the appointment, and less than half of the honorable children in the capital city were present.Due to Xiao Chengzhou's status, few people dared to talk to him without any scruples, and Xie Yan was not very interested in talking to these people, so everyone maintained superficial communication, not awkward, but not cold.

Although he came here at the invitation of Chen Ziming, Chen Ziming's attitude towards Xiao Chengzhou was the same as that of other people, he did not appear to be courteous or fawning, and seemed aimless.But Xiao Chengzhou knew very well that this banquet was only possible because of him.

Chen Ziming saw that the crowd was almost here, so he invited everyone to the racetrack next to the manor.

Every autumn, Emperor Zhaoyuan will lead a hundred officials to hold an autumn hunt, and there is also a horse racing session, but the rewards given by Emperor Zhaoyuan are always used as the first prize, and the first name can be won.For the horse races in the Chen family, all the sons and daughters of the nobles bet a lot of money.Anything with a gambling nature is prohibited everywhere, and even their previous Treasure Fighting Club was held in the name of appreciation and exchange.Everyone is playing secretly, as long as nothing happens, the higher up will turn a blind eye to people of their identities.

When they arrived at the racetrack, Xiao Chengzhou led Xie Yan to one part of the stands. Xie Yan held Xiao Chengzhou, pointed to another part, and said, "Brother Zhou, let's go there."

Xiao Chengzhou naturally would not object.

When he got there, Xie Yan mentioned the reason for his change of position, "I have been to this racetrack once before."

Xie Yan was brought here once by a friend who had just met him not long ago. That time, his friend was jealous of losing, and in a rage, he angered his servant and threw that servant into the racecourse during the race, which caused the The servant was trampled by the hooves of the running horse...

From then on, Xie Yan hated that friend extremely, and directly alienated him, and he also disliked such things as horse racing.The location that Xiao Chengzhou took him to just now was the place where the servant died tragically.

No wonder Xie Yan hesitated for a moment before, Xiao Chengzhou understood, and he said distressedly: "You should have told me before." In this way, there is no need to force Xie Yan to accompany him to the banquet.

Seeing that Xiao Chengzhou seemed to blame himself a little, Xie Yan hurriedly said: "It's been a long time, and I can't remember it until I get here. It's not easy for someone to invite you out to play. I can't spoil your interest." Mainly Well, this banquet looks like a place to make friends. He, a good friend who vowed to be the best friend in the world with Xiao Chengzhou, shouldn't come and beware, lest someone pry into the corner of the wall.

Xiao Chengzhou's eyes were full of satisfaction and pampering, he patted Xie Yan's head, "Ayan, you don't have to accommodate me like this, in my heart, your thoughts are the most important."

Xie Yan was moved, and hurried to express, "You are also very important in my heart, your heart is mine."

Xiao Chengzhou chuckled, there was no one approaching them here, he lowered his hand, and was about to take Xie Yan's hand through the cover of his wide sleeves, when Chen Ziming came over suddenly, Xiao Chengzhou had to stop regretfully.

Chen Ziming is about the same age as Xie Yan, but he is good at dancing with long sleeves and has a slick face. He clasped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord, there are a lot of visitors today. I was so negligent just now. I didn't greet you well. I'm really sorry."

"Young Master Chen is being polite." Xiao Chengzhou said with a smile.

For some reason, Xiao Chengzhou smiled warmly, but Chen Ziming felt that there was a lot of killing intent hidden inside. Chen Ziming hesitated for a while, continued to maintain his smile, and began to talk to Xiao Chengzhou about the racehorses that would be played later.

At this moment, someone who is good at equestrianism has appeared at one end of the racecourse on horseback. Chen Ziming introduced each horse to Xiao Chengzhou, and he gave a special explanation on the horses with a relatively high winning rate.

Xiao Chengzhou listened casually, then lowered his head and asked Xie Yan who was playing with his fingers without interest in horse racing, "Ah Yan, which horse do you think will win?"

Xie Yan raised his head, squinted his eyes, and casually pointed at a pleasing horse, "It's it."

It is a dark horse, and in Chen Ziming's explanation just now, it is the one that has lost the most recently.

Xiao Chengzhou took out a money bag and threw it to Chen Ziming, "The king will bet on the dark horse to win."

Chen Ziming, who was holding the money bag, twitched the corners of his mouth, my lord, look at those horses I told you just now!It's nothing to stare at a weak chicken and buy a win, isn't this deliberately embarrassing him!

Helplessly, Xiao Chengzhou had already turned his head to talk to Xie Yan, Chen Ziming had no choice but to turn around with a headache expression on his face.

Xie Yan noticed Chen Ziming's expression when he left, and asked strangely, "What's wrong with him?"

"Have a headache." Xiao Chengzhou said indifferently, he said to Xie Yan: "What do you want to eat for lunch tomorrow? I'll ask someone to prepare it after I win the money later."

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows, "Are you so sure that you will win?"

Xiao Chengzhou smiled confidently, "Naturally."

On the contrary, Xie Yan felt embarrassed, he just pointed at him casually, Xiao Chengzhou is so confident, it will be good if he loses later.He patted Xiao Chengzhou's arm, and said earnestly: "Brother Zhou, money is something outside of your body. Be a man, don't pay too much attention to these vulgar things."

Xiao Chengzhou took his hand, patted it too, and replied with a smile: "Well, I understand."

Before Xie Yan could withdraw his hand, the people beside the stands burst into cheers. It turned out that the game was about to start.With the sound of a gong, horses ridden by equestrians rushed out of the gate almost simultaneously.

No... There is still one horse that is a little behind, and that is the dark horse, which is the one Xie Yan pointed at and Xiao Chengzhou bought to win.

Xie Yan looked at Xiao Chengzhou with a guilty conscience, he wouldn't be so reckless, would he really lose?

Xiao Chengzhou smiled nonchalantly. He looked at the field, as if he was watching the game seriously, but in fact he devoted all his attention to playing with Xie Yan's fingers.Xie Yan thought that Xiao Chengzhou was nervous because of the backward dark horse, and it was caused by him, so he was even more embarrassed to withdraw his hand, so he had to offer his hand obediently, and let Xiao Chengzhou knead wantonly.

In the middle of the race, unexpectedly, the speed of the dark horse seemed to gradually increase, gradually surpassing the previous leading horses.

"Run! Run!"

Hearing the excited roar of others, Xie Yan also sweated for Xiao Chengzhou, stared at the black horse closely, and kept urging in his heart. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

"What's going on, the speed of this dark horse is obviously slower than the beginning, but why is it leading!"

"This is probably because the other horses used too much force before, but now their speed has slowed down and they are running slower than the black horse."

"The competition is almost over. If this continues, the dark horse will win!"

"Oh, if I knew it earlier, I would buy the dark horse and win. The dark horse is the dark horse. It really is a dark horse."

Xiao Chengzhou smiled unhurriedly, since Chen Ziming came to introduce the horse race to him, he had guessed the result, whether he bought a black horse or another horse, as long as he bought it, he would not lose.

As the dark horse finished the last lap first, Xie Yan excitedly shook Xiao Chengzhou's hand, "Brother Zhou, you won!"

Xiao Chengzhou finally kneaded Xie Yan's hand, finally let go of Xie Yan's hand, stood up and said with a smile: "Yes, I won."

Among the people present, there were only a few people who bought the dark horse, and the amount of money they received in the end was not small, even Xie Yan was envious when he saw it.After getting the money bag, Xiao Chengzhou divided most of Xie Yan.

Xie Yan hurriedly declined: "What do you want me to do?"

"If you hadn't told me to buy a dark horse, I wouldn't have won so much money." Xiao Chengzhou's eyes were soft, "You told me that money is something outside of us and we shouldn't take it too seriously. So I'm happy to share half with you."

Xie Yan said awkwardly: "That's just a nice thing to say, I'm using it to coax you... There are almost no people who don't like money."

Xiao Chengzhou was amused by his honesty, and directly handed the money to Nan Xing for him to keep.It was already noon, Chen Ziming invited them to have a meal, Xiao Chengzhou took Xie Yan there.

At the dinner table, people don't talk about political affairs, they mostly talk about various strange people and strange things, where is it fun, delicious, or a few low-brows talk about which oiran lady is more beautiful.During this period, Xiao Chengzhou entertained other people's conversations, and some people showed affection to Xie Yan, but Xie Yan's attitude was not warm.In the end, under the cover of Xiao Chengzhou, Xie Yan concentrated on eating and drinking, very out of group.

After eating, Chen Ziming took the lead to play other pastimes. Xie Yan ate too much, so Xiao Chengzhou told Chen Ziming to take Xie Yan to the back of the garden for a walk first.

There is a fruit grove behind the manor, Xie Yan and Xiao Chengzhou strolled in, Xie Yan walked and kneaded with his belly out of shape, Xiao Chengzhou felt distressed when he saw it, and said helplessly: "I didn't watch you for a while, why did you eat so much."

Xie Yan also regretted it, "I didn't feel it when I stopped chopsticks, but I didn't expect to feel abdominal distension after a while."

"Shall I rub it for you?" Xiao Chengzhou reached out and patted Xie Yan's belly lightly.

"Okay." Xie Yan was not polite at all, his hands were sore after rubbing for a while, it would be best if someone could do it for him.

Xiao Chengzhou put his arm around Xie Yan's waist, put his other hand on Xie Yan's stomach, and gently massaged Xie Yan with strength.

Xie Yan squinted his eyes with enjoyment, and praised: "Mmm... the strength is moderate, very good, very comfortable."

Nan Xing, who was following behind, wanted to cover his eyes. He had seen this posture on a pregnant couple before. At that time, the woman was walking slowly with her stomach upright like his young master, while the woman's husband was as sincere as he was. The king is like this, carefully hugging the woman...

Xie Yan didn't know what Nan Xing was thinking, otherwise he would definitely kick him.He enjoyed Xiao Chengzhou's service, and after walking in the fruit forest for a while, his stomach finally became less distended, and he was thinking about going back and walking around, when two women suddenly appeared behind a fruit tree in front of him.
