Food for the people

Qiao Yu returned home after shopping, and Grandma Song and Aunt Qiufeng came over after a while.

In the past two days, the weather has turned warm and the sun is abundant, so she dried some salted vegetables and sent them to Qiao Yu.

"Xiaoling went to the academy?" Grandma Song asked while she was basking in the sun as she put the salted vegetables into the kitchen, came out and put a chair in the yard.

"Well, I just delivered it in the morning." Aunt Qiufeng was making noodles in the room, Qiao Yu was peeling green onions in the yard, Wen Sheng squatted with him, and also stretched out his little hand to help him earnestly.

"After that, you will be left alone to set up a stall. Can you bear it? Do you want to find someone to help?" Grandma Song was still thinking about his poor health, but after all, hiring another person would cost money, so she could only Ask Qiao Yu first to see what he thinks.

She and Qiao Yu thought about going together, but yesterday Lu Jincheng had promised to find someone for him, maybe he would bring him here today, so he didn't bother Grandma Song to help him, and said with a smile: "Thank you grandma for thinking of me, but someone has already promised to help me find it, so don't worry grandma."

Grandma Song was a little curious when she heard what he said. She wanted to help these two children at the beginning because she saw that these two children looked pitiful without relatives and no reason. There is a relative, Qiao Yu, in her opinion, although he can speak well, he is actually an introverted child, and he has never made any friends. He would come to her for help with anything. Someone helped him with this matter, and immediately asked, "Have you made friends? Does grandma know you?"

Grandma Song didn't know what Qiao Yu looked like in other people's eyes. Anyway, in her eyes, she was a half-grown child who was a few years younger than her grandson. She was happy to have a friend, but she was also afraid that he would be deceived. After all, Now that Qiao Yu can make money, he is afraid that someone will harbor evil intentions.

Qiao Yu thought for a while and said, "Grandma may not know her, but Brother Siming does."

He didn't say that Lu Jincheng was Song Siming's master. After all, Song Siming didn't say so, he guessed it all. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he made a mistake.

When Grandma Song heard that Song Siming also knew her, she became even more curious. She knew Song Siming better, and she didn't have many friends. Since she was recruited into the palace as a bodyguard, her rest time was only two or three days a month, and she rarely had contact with anything. People, whoever I talk to her occasionally, is also the charming and precious Fourteenth Prince of the palace.

As bodyguards, they are not allowed to disclose the private affairs of their master at will, so even if they tell her, they can only talk to a limited extent. They are not so personal, and they don't even know that he was a bodyguard in the palace. Even Qiao Yu still doesn't know about it. It's not that she still hides it from him and doesn't want to talk about it, it's just that Qiao Yu usually doesn't ask, and now she has her own business to do, so she can't talk about this topic.

"Siming also knows it. Why didn't you hear that kid tell me? When he came back a few days ago, he said a few words to me in a daze. I don't know what he meant. I thought it had something to do with you, but he didn't tell me, so I didn't ask more." Grandma Song said.

"Is it related to me?" Qiao Yu was a little puzzled.

"Well, I asked if I should tell my friends about something. After thinking about it, he didn't have any other friends, so I thought he was talking about you."

Qiao Yu understood, but it was still a little strange, even if Lu Jincheng was really his master, there was nothing wrong with this matter, it was weird.

Qiao Yu didn't know that the misunderstanding between the two had gone so deep, and she thought she knew everything, so she said, "Oh, then I know what he said."

"You are the same as Siming. You didn't have any friends before. Now you make friends and even grandma hides it. Tell grandma how you met?" Grandma Song continued to ask.

"I didn't want to hide it, isn't this..." Qiao Yu was halfway through the sentence, but before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the yard, saying that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived, Qiao Yu changed the subject and pointed outside the door, " Does grandma want to see, people are here."

Speaking of getting up to open the door, Lu Jincheng stood outside the door, followed by a young man who looked very smart at first glance.

The boy looked younger than Qiao Yu, about [-] or [-] years old, with wheat-colored skin, and when he saw Qiao Yu, he smiled with eight bright white teeth: "Hello, son."

Qiao Yu thought it was pleasing to look at, and he liked it quite a bit, so he greeted, "Hello, come in."

Seeing this, Lu Jincheng frowned and asked, "What about me?"

What are you?Qiao Yu didn't understand what he meant. Seeing him standing still for a long time, he had a flash of inspiration and understood: "Oh, my son, stop making trouble. How many times have you come to my little yard, and I still have to invite you?" Come in? Mr. Yan, please come inside, please come in quickly. Is this okay? Come in quickly, don't stand at the door."

Lu Jincheng's face softened and he was very pleased, so he lifted his legs and entered the yard.

Qiao Yu: ...

Grandma Song saw someone coming, and heard Qiao Yu say that this was his new friend, so she quickly stood up and looked at the door. Seeing a half-grown child coming in, she greeted grandma, thinking that this was the friend Qiao Yu mentioned, and hurriedly Greeting: "This child is really sensible, come in and sit."

Before he finished speaking, another one came in. He was wearing a blue gown, with high temple hair, sword eyebrows and starry eyes. At first glance, he looked like a noble son. He seemed out of tune with everyone in the yard. Grandma Song was stunned. After a while, he looked at Qiao Yu and asked, "This is?"

Qiao Yu said, "This is the friend I told you about, Mr. Yan."

Lu Jincheng hooked the corner of his mouth, smiled at Grandma Song, and said hello.

Grandma Song has lived most of her life, and she has met quite a few people, but Lu Jincheng is the first one like this. She didn't know what to say for a while, but thought that this person was good-looking and had an indescribably extravagant air on her body. Even if he smiled, he didn't seem enthusiastic. It seemed that they were not the kind of people who could deal with them, so he was very cautious. After taking a look at Qiao Yu, he said dryly, "Ah, sit down quickly, do you want to drink water?"

Lu Jincheng could see that Grandma Song was not comfortable with him, and saw that she gave up the rattan chair she was sitting on, and said, "Grandma, sit down, I have something to ask Qiao Sheng, so I will leave soon. "

Grandma Song said: "Didn't you just come here? Why are you leaving? If you have nothing to talk about, I will go back first if I have nothing to do."

Originally, she was a little curious about the friend Qiao Yu was talking about, but now that she met Lu Jincheng, she couldn't ask any more questions, and left after saying hello to Qiufeng.

She had never met Prince Yan before, so naturally she couldn't recognize Lu Jincheng. She only knew that she didn't look like an ordinary child. Although she didn't ask more questions in front of Qiao Yu, she kept thinking in her heart, how could such a person get along with Qiao Yu? Yu knew each other, and Qiao Yu also said that her family, Siming, knew each other too, so why had he never heard of it.

Grandma Song was so confused that she couldn't ask directly, so she had to keep it in her stomach first, and ask carefully next time.

As soon as Grandma Song left, Qiao Yu, the boy brought by Lu Jincheng and Wen Sheng were left in the yard.

Wen Sheng was timid, seeing Lu Jincheng was a little scared, so Qiao Yu led him to the kitchen first.

When Qiao Yu came out, the young man standing in front of Lu Jincheng smiled at him first. He had wheat-colored skin and ordinary facial features, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright, and he looked very clever.

Lu Jincheng said: "This is Chen Cong, he is fifteen this year, he is not very old but he works hard."

Hearing this, Chen Chuan immediately smiled again: "My lord, I can do anything."

Qiao Yu was quite satisfied with him, and asked, "Where do you live?"

Chen hurriedly said with a smile: "Young master, I am also from West Street, but it is a little far away from here, on the other side of West Street."

Qiao Yu told him about the salary and daily tasks, and after Chen Cong said that there was no problem, Qiao Yu decided to use him.

Qiao Yu knew in his heart that most of the people Lu Jincheng was looking for were recruited from his own family. He thought that he owed Lu Jincheng another favor, but he owed Lu Jincheng a lot, so he just wrote it down. Together, we will pay back together when we have a chance.

He chatted with Chen Cong for a few more words, and found that the young man really spoke as calmly as he seemed. Although he was only 15 years old, he was not too evasive.

Lu Jincheng stood aside and listened to the two talking, and looked up at Qiao Yu from time to time. Qiao Yu didn't notice it, but Chen Kui saw it clearly. Thoughts collided.

This Chen Cong is the grandson of Uncle Chen, the steward of Prince Yan's Mansion, and he is also in charge of affairs in the Palace with his grandfather and father. He is young and grew up in the Palace. He didn't follow Lu Jincheng in the palace. His father was sick a few days ago and went home on leave. Lu Jincheng ordered him to go back to take care of his father. He just came back two days ago.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Sanqi came and said that the prince was not at the mansion and he was left alone.

Sanqi has followed the prince since he was a child, and he served him wherever he went. When Chen Kui heard that Sanqi had done something wrong and offended his prince, he hurriedly asked what was going on, but Sanqi said that he The prince has always been like this recently, and it has been a long time.

Chen Cong asked him why, but he hesitated to say anything, as if he knew something.

He asked twice but failed to find out Mingtang, so he simply stopped asking. After all, his prince's work is not something that servants like them can talk about.

Then before his doubts passed, Lu Jincheng said that he wanted to arrange another job for him, he was not in the mansion, nor was he working for the palace, and he was not allowed to reveal his identity.

Although he agreed without hesitation, he felt strange in his heart, and asked Sanqi in private. Sanqi's expression changed when he heard this, and he told him to work hard there, just be obedient, and don't ask any unnecessary questions for the time being, and the rest I don't want to say a word to him anymore.

Before he came, he was still full of doubts, but now seeing his prince's appearance, he suddenly understood what Sanqi meant.

The prince of his family is a relative of the emperor. He is the younger brother of his mother and compatriots. He is talented in literature and martial arts. There are countless people in Yangguo who want to marry their daughters to the palace. Yes, there is nothing to look at.

Chen Cong is very active, and has worked in the palace for many years. He has seen the world more than his usual age. He was surprised to hear that the prince of his family might like men, but he was not too surprised. He just wondered what is so special about Mr. Qiao. To attract the favor of his prince, he didn't think as far as Sanqi. As long as his prince is willing, he has no opinion on who is the princess. There is no precedent. As for the empress dowager, he feels that his prince can definitely handle it, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

Chen Hue figured out the key in a flash, and Qiao Yu's mind was completely different. He heard Qiao Yu say that he should not be restrained, and that everyone would be friends in the future. He was so blessed that he smiled at Qiao Yu Bai Ya said: "Young Master, don't worry, your business is Chen Cong's business, you must do your best."

Qiao Yu thought: Well, the child Mr. Yan is looking for is really likable.
