Chapter 117 Round Field
"Why hasn't Pei Zhuo arrived yet?" After greeting everyone to take their seats, Du Ye looked around, frowned suspiciously, and asked the people next to him in a low voice, "Furi, can you welcome them?"
Du Furi hummed and just took two steps to the stairs. Suddenly, he stopped and looked up at the bamboo curtain not far away: "Third brother, there are some disputes there. Go to the field quickly. Don't be out of interest."
Du Ye followed his line of sight and recognized the position of Cui Fengwu and other people. He said strangely, "Is there a field that can't be circled?"
In this way, he saw Du Furi smiling and drifting away. After all, he quickly walked to the curtain and smiled through the bamboo curtain, "Cui Da, who is here?"
"Sanlang, you are here!" Hearing the sound outside the curtain, several people in the seat were either light or heavy and relieved. Cui Fengwu still looked calm and rose up. Du Ye picked up the curtain at the same time and quickly glanced around. After finding Yuan Xiu, he was a little surprised and nodded to Cui Fengwu: "Surely, Pei Zhuo hasn't arrived yet!"
"Shouldn't Sanlang forget to post for our sixth brother?" Pei 23 Niang bit her red lips gently, supported her cheeks with a fan, and said with a smile, "Why is he so late today?"
Du Ye, Du Liu and Du Furi have a good relationship with Pei Zhuo, and they are also familiar with Pei Zhuo's two cousins. Hearing this, they smiled and said, "Twenty-three women are really cunning. Are you afraid that I will be guilty later? Before I opened my mouth, I asked about it first.
Pei 24 Niang curled her lips and said, "I know that your family will prepare enough servants and maids today. We only have one maid except the driver. The sixth brother hasn't arrived for so long. Don't you send someone to see Sanlang?"
"Don't worry, the 12th brother has passed in person." Du Ye said with a smile, "Huh, where's Yao Niang? Isn't she here?"
The prince covered his sleeves and smiled softly: "Sanlang is confused? Didn't your Qilang just say that the girl stained her dress, and the beauty of the Qilang family took her to change her clothes.
Du Ye originally came to ease the scene. His ears were not as strong as Du Furi, and he didn't know why these people had quarreled before, so he asked the prince's words: "Speaking of which, Zixia also has posts, but I don't know why he didn't come over? But do you dislike that the location of Guanlan Building is not good enough?
"Sanlang is getting more and more confused. Brother 22 is still holding a banquet in the palace. Didn't you say you wanted to have fun at night? After the banquet is over, he will naturally come. The prince said anly, "But what about the wonderful sister? Why didn't you come today?"
Du Ye spread out her hands and said helplessly, "She and Duan... have been friends with Concubine Hua since childhood, and they haven't seen each other for many years. Now Concubine Hua has entered the palace and called her to talk during the Dragon Boat Festival, and Shen'er has also been taken away."
"Oh? Shenlang should be enlightened this year, right? Pei 23 Niang is on the sidelines.
Du Ye smiled and looked at Lu Jiaxing and said, "In terms of age, I have arrived. In fact, I have begun to take time to teach him one or two years ago, but it is not as good as Lu Jiayushu."
Du Ye is over 30 years old and has two sons and one daughter under his knees. He is quite close to his wife Wei Miaoduan. However, Wei has not been pregnant for a long time since he married him at the age of 16, so he persuaded him to accept his dowry as a concubine and gave birth to Du Jingzhi, the eldest son of the concubine, and Du Minniang, the eldest daughter of the concubine. This pair of eldest sons and daughters are the concubines because they are in the eldest An was born when Du Ye was appointed as the governor of Dengzhou, he stayed in the Du family's ancestral house to be watched by his grandparents.
And Wei Miaoduan followed Du Ye to take office, but finally got pregnant in Dengzhou. He gave birth to a son, which is Du Shenzhi, the second son who is only six years old this year. Compared with the eldest son and eldest daughter of the concubine who has been separated, Du Ye naturally pays more attention to and loves this young son.
Although the words are a little modest at this moment, there is a trace of pity.
Of course, Lu Jiaxing noticed it, and he also saw that Du Ye came in for the purpose of rounding the field. Now he specifically mentioned the pride of the Lu family - Lu is more than his beloved son, so he had to ease his tone and said, "Sanlang is too humble. The way is made by father and son. Sanlang has a wise name since he was a child. He must be cautious and talented. It's extraordinary."
"Speaking of the Yushu of your Lu family, I remember that but Lang has been married by the saint?" The prince suddenly interrupted.
"Everyone knows about this in Chang'an. Did you just hear it?" Pei 24 Niang said lightly.
Pei 23 Niang squeezed her lips and said lazily, "24 Niang, have you forgotten? Not long ago, she came back from Taiyuan for a few days.
"Real?" Pei Si Niang picked up a cherry in front of her and ate it. Suddenly, she smiled at Cui Feng, who had been silent, "Why is Silang so silent today?"
"When did Cui Si talk more?" Cui Fengcai just smiled faintly and raised the bottle to her, and the prince was immediately alerted.
Yuanxiu looked at it coldly and suddenly felt very boring. At this time, Du Ye moved the topic to her: "This Taoist priest is the beloved disciple of Xuanhong Yuanjun in Qingguan. I thought that Yuanjun sent his apprentices to the banquet for the first time in so many years. You didn't know each other. Unexpectedly, this short hour could Pull the Taoist priest into the table together?"
It's okay if he didn't mention Yuanxiu. As soon as he mentioned Yuanxiu, Lu Jiaxing's face sank.
However, the prince snorted softly: "Xuanhong Yuanjun doesn't like to be disturbed. Although he will pass by Qing Wangguan Zuojin when he goes to Qingyi Mountain, he has never been able to see Yuanjun. This Taoist priest of truth, if it weren't been for Pei 24 Niang's vast friendship, we wouldn't dare to ask someone to unload the curtains around her."
"24 Niang and Taoist priest Shouzhen are actually old acquaintances?" Du Ye's eyes showed surprise and looked at Pei Si Niang, "When did you become interested in monism?"
Pei 24 Niang smiled and said, "How can I not be interested?"
Seeing that she was unwilling to answer, Du Ye had a trace of interest in his eyes. He reached out and gestured to Lu Jiaxing and smiled, "Twelfth brother went to find Pei Zhuo but hasn't come back for so long. Jiulang, please work hard and accompany me to have a look."
"Sanlang, you are really biased. You let Cui Da and Liu Lang go, but you want to support me?" Lu Jiaxing frowned and pushed the tea cup in front of him, but saw Pei's sisters staring at him and stood up helplessly and said, "Okay, what's going on with Pei Liu? Why do you have to worry about him when you go to an appointment?
Du Ye took him downstairs, but did not go out to look for Pei Zhuo. Instead, he went to a remote place and said bluntly, "Before I went in, did you have a conflict with the Taoist priest?"
"She--" Lu Jiu sneered and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Du Ye, who raised his hand and whispered, "The so-called Taoist priest should not be low. You can know that Pei Si Niang has been protecting her all the time. If I guess correctly, she should be from the clan!"
Lu Jiaxing was shocked: "How can it be?"
"The post she took when she came was written to Xuanhong Yuanjun in person. Xuanhong Yuanjun has not taken another step out of Guanmen since he arrived at Qing Wangguan. Except for a few people such as his uncle, he couldn't even take a step forward to see her face, but Yuanjun did not refuse to see the princesses and county magistrates, let alone Other female crowns are fine. Xuanhong Yuanjun is originally Jinzhi and Yuye. Does she need to rely on beautiful disciples to attract rich people? Du Ye gave him a meaningful look and patted him on the shoulder. "I went to test the female crown before you arrived. She didn't look like a monk! I guess it's a noble girl who doesn't come out often. Anyway, she is also a young girl. Why should Jiulang care about her? For the sake of Xuanhong Yuanjun, let her give way, just like this.
"I'm just wondering that if she is Xuanhong Yuanjun's family, not to mention that the position on Tinglan Pavilion is better today, it is not difficult to directly ask for a post from your family. Why do you have to come here in an impersonation?" Lu Jiaxing was puzzled.
Du Ye smiled and said, "How can I guess the thoughts of the girls? If you want to know, why don't you go down and ask Pei 24 Niang in private? Well, doesn't 24 Niang know her identity? If you know later, you might as well tell me.
"If only Si Niang would tell me." Lu Jiaxing sighed in frustration, "I didn't say anything too much. She just helped... Well, even Cui Da and Liu Zhe helped her!"
Du Ye frowned: "The two of them?"
