Food for the people

Prince Yan's mansion is huge, so there is no difficulty in allocating a small courtyard for Zhao Kang's mother and son in the mansion, and Lu Jincheng has been settled there long ago, so Uncle Chen only needs to lead them in.

The small courtyard was well-equipped, and it was facing the side gate of the palace. Uncle Chen gave Zhao Kang a sign with Lu Jincheng's oral instructions, so that their mother and son could freely enter and leave the palace without making them feel too restrained.

Zhao Kang didn't see the prince and Mr. Qiao, so he was led to look at the yard first. Zhao's mother walked around the yard carefully several times, and asked Zhao Kang several times: "Kang'er, is this really for us?" yard?"

She has lived outside the city for half her life, and she didn't want to leave home. Even if others say how good Hanyang City is, she doesn't like it, and she doesn't care about it. The ancients said that gold nests and silver nests are not as good as their own. A kennel, nowhere is as good as your own home.

If it wasn't about her, she would never have left home, even if Zhao Kang said that his master would seek a doctor to see her.She raised Zhao Kang alone, and she felt that she had seen everyone before, and she didn't believe that there is good in this world without a reason. She always suspected that Zhao Kang had met a liar, but seeing Zhao Kang's convincing words, she was very enthusiastic about this job. In her heart, she had no choice but to follow her around, wrapping up the little money at home tightly, thinking that even if she really met a liar, she would never allow anyone to cheat this little money away.

Unexpectedly, when they entered the city, they were taken into the mansion of this noble family, and such a large yard was allocated for them to live in.

This courtyard is more than a hundred times better than his small run-down house. Even the quilts in the house have been laid out, and the windows are bright and clean. Zhao's mother has never lived in such a house in half her life, and she feels more and more like a lie.

But she also knew that she had nothing to lie about. She had been suffering from illness all year round, which dragged down her son, and the little money she earned was not enough to buy her medicine. Where could there be a few copper coins left? What can she do.

Hearing her question again, Zhao Kang could not know what his mother was thinking, nodded tirelessly, and said, "Of course, this is Prince Yan's Mansion."

Zhao's mother has lived half her life, and she only has that one-acre land in her eyes. Don't say she has seen it before, and she has never heard of such a big background, so she has no idea. She nodded and thought that the prince is really rich. It shouldn't be possible to lie to them.

Uncle Chen was older than Zhao's mother, and he smiled when he heard the words: "You can rest assured, if you need anything, you can come and find me."

Mother Zhao hurriedly asked for thanks, but Uncle Chen stopped her.

"Don't thank me. I'm just a messenger. If you want to thank me, thank my lord and Mr. Qiao. Mr. Qiao also ordered the doctor to be here soon. You wait here and rest for a while. Call me back, my lord."

Zhao Kang quickly stopped Uncle Chen and said, "Uncle Chen, take me with you."

Chen Bo said: "Young master said, you are exhausted from traveling and traveling, you should rest first, don't rush to see him."

Zhao Kang shook his head: "I came here in the prince's carriage, why bother, the prince and the young master are so kind, I have to thank them face to face to be at ease."

Zhao's mother also said: "You should go, you should go, and I will go with you, to pay homage to this bodhisattva-hearted prince and son."

Uncle Chen couldn't stop them, seeing that the doctor had already entered the courtyard, he had no choice but to say: "That's all right, I'll take you to see the master, let the doctor wait for a while, and then diagnose your mother when he comes back."

Zhao Kang agreed, and Uncle Chen brought people to Dongyuan again.

Qiao Yu was just walking around the back garden of the palace with Lu Jincheng, and he had just returned to Lu Jincheng's Linxiu Pavilion. Lu Jincheng ordered refreshments, and sat opposite Qiao Yu, flipping through books, and Feed tea.

It was Qiao Yu who was flipping through the books. He had just picked up two books from Lu Jincheng's study room. They turned out to be comic book-like picture books, and they were about a story about a scholar and a fox demon. Qiao Yu flipped through them with relish, While looking up at Lu Jincheng, he smiled and said, "My lord still reads this kind of book?"

Lu Jincheng gave him a sip of the tea, rubbed his lips with his fingertips, ate the remaining half, and said, "It's just a picture book of ghosts and monsters. It doesn't matter if you read it. If Qiao Er I want to see, I have more fragrant/flashy ones."

Qiao Yu almost choked on the dim sum, and quickly waved his hand: "No, the prince can keep it for himself."

Lu Jincheng tapped the table twice with his long and slender fingers, his eyes darkened: "It's only after reading that I feel that it's just a matter of paper. How about discussing it with me, Qiaoer?"

Qiao Yu turned over expressionlessly, ignored him, and went to the other side, but red marks quickly appeared on the pinna covered by the black hair, completely betraying his little thoughts.

Lu Jincheng hated seeing him like this the most, and he was even more seductive in the invisible. Just as he was about to go forward and rub him twice, Uncle Chen came in at an untimely time.

Uncle Chen is old after all, he can't see the undercurrents of young people's emotions, he doesn't notice the ambiguity floating in the air, and reports in a straight line: "My lord, son, Zhao Kang and his mother came to ask for an audience. "

Lu Jincheng's hand had already reached Qiao Yu's ear, and he retracted it as if nothing had happened, and said, "Didn't you say to take a short rest and see you later?"

Although Uncle Chen couldn't see romantic things, he knew Lu Jincheng very well. As soon as he opened his mouth, Uncle Chen felt that he was in a bad mood at the moment, thinking that Lu Jincheng didn't want to see them. Although he didn't know why, but But quickly responded: "Then I will take them back."

Uncle Chen didn't know why, but Qiao Yu knew it. He tilted his head to glance at Lu Jincheng, blinked at him suddenly, then closed the book, and said, "Don't take it back, it's already here, see you .”

Although he was talking to Uncle Chen, he looked at Lu Jincheng. There was no reason why Lu Jincheng should not, so he beckoned Uncle Chen to go out and call someone.

Lu Jincheng leaned over and took out the book in Qiao Yu's hand, and said, "Qiao Er wants to call someone, but are you shy?"

Qiao Yu's ears were still red, and she heard the words and said, "Naturally, I can't compare to Wang Ye who is well-informed."

The well-informed Prince Yan smiled and said nothing, and didn't say much that the only book he had read was years ago. Before that, he had never had fantasies about it. Impulsive, until I met Qiao Yu.

The two looked at each other silently, Qiao Yu felt that the atmosphere was too ambiguous, so he took a sip of tea from a cup and waited for Zhao Kang's mother and son to come.

After a while, Uncle Chen brought the two of them in.

Zhao's mother followed Zhao Kang, and as soon as she saw the shadows of the two of them when she entered the door, she quickly knelt down and bowed to them, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord and son. I kowtow to my lord."

She couldn't tell which one was the prince and which one was the son, so she kowtowed three times to thank them for their great kindness.

Qiao Yu stood far away and didn't react at all, but when Lu Jincheng saw Mother Zhao kneeling down, he immediately said to Uncle Chen, "Help him up, there is no need to be polite."

Chen Bo was ordered to go forward to help Zhao's mother up, but Zhao's mother struggled and refused to get up, and finally finished six kowtows, then patted her clothes and stood up, and carefully looked at the two nobles.

Zhao Kang also knelt down and said, "My mother and I are here to thank the prince for taking us in."

Lu Jincheng said: "No need to thank me, this is what I promised you earlier."

Having said that, Zhao Kang, as a small servant, is about to be treated the same as the servants of the palace, so how can he not be flattered.

And Zhao Kang is also very clear, who is benefiting from all this.

He bowed to Qiao Yu again: "I want to thank you for your kindness."

Although he doesn't know what the relationship between Young Master Qiao and Lord Yan is, but judging by Prince Yan's attitude, the relationship between the two is not ordinary. Yu talked more.

Mother Zhao came to thank the two of them. There was still a doctor waiting in the courtyard, so Chen Bo sent it back without waiting too long. Zhao Kang stayed, chatted with Qiao Yu for a while, and introduced his situation .

Lu Jincheng didn't go anywhere, just sat next to Qiao Yu, refilling Qiao Yu's tea from time to time, Zhao Kang couldn't help being shocked.

At first, he thought that the two of them just had a good relationship, but now it seems that the relationship is too good, not quite like best friends, but more like... a beloved, Zhao Kang was influenced by his own thoughts Startled, he raised his head cautiously and took a look at Qiao Yu, only to see Mr. Qiao taking a sip of tea leisurely while holding Prince Yan's hand while talking to him.

Zhao Kang sighed in his heart, feeling that he understood everything.

He felt that he had seen something he shouldn't have seen, and he didn't dare to stay here to make people feel disgusted. After chatting with Qiao Yu for a few minutes, he got up and left.

Qiao Yu told him to go look for him with Chen Cong tomorrow, Zhao Kang agreed, and waved him to leave first.

After Zhao Kang returned to his room, the doctor who saw his mother had already left. The result of the pulse diagnosis was consistent with what the original doctor said, but the medicinal materials prescribed were different. The doctor who saw his mother was familiar with them. He knew that he could not afford expensive medicines with that little money, so he always prescribed cheap ones, but this doctor was completely different, almost all the medicines he prescribed were things he couldn’t afford, and there were even a few medicines that he could not afford. He had never heard of it before, but after a while, Uncle Chen sent someone to bring the medicinal materials to him.

Zhao Kang was so grateful in his heart that he only regarded Qiao Yu as his mother's savior, thinking that there was no way to repay his great kindness, and no matter what Qiao Yu would do in the future, he would never refuse.

"Kang'er, I don't think the lord and son are lying." Mother Zhao thought for a while, then suddenly concluded in Zhao Kang's ear.

Zhao Kang was speechless, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Of course they are not lying. The package of medicinal materials in your hand is worth more than the house in our house."

Mother Zhao became worried again: "Really, wouldn't that cost a lot of money?"

Zhao Kang nodded.

Zhao's mother said again: "So you must work hard with him. By the way, who is your master, Prince Yan or that son?"

Zhao Kang didn't know what he thought of, and his expression was a little weird.

Zhao's mother didn't see it at all, and continued: "I see that Mr. Qiao seems to be a good talker. After all, the prince is a prince. Although he is also a good talker, it always makes me flustered. By the way , Kanger, Mr. Qiao is some kind of big shot, I think he eats and sits with the prince, and he has a very good relationship, you don't dare to neglect it."

Zhao Kang's face became even weirder, he patted Zhao's mother's hand, and said under his breath, "Mother, don't say that when you are outside."

Zhao's mother thought he was telling her to stop chewing the root of the master's tongue, so she nodded and slapped her mouth lightly.

"You're right, you're right, you should talk less about the affairs of the master's family."
