Chapter 93 Secret Talk
In this township examination, Liao Wenbo won the second place in Wenju. This is a celebration for the Liao family and for Liao Wenbo. Liao Nanguo, the head of the Liao family, wanted to hold a party for Liao Wenbo, which specially allowed Liao Wenbo to host according to his own ideas.
Liao Wenbo was not ready to publicize it. He just wanted to invite a few acquaintances to his other courtyard to taste the newly mature peaches and talk about the test to Beijing Normal University. Of course, there are still some of his thoughts, which can't be told to outsiders. After arranging the courtyard, Liao Wenbo and Qingya changed their clothes and prepared to welcome the guests.
When it was time to meet, the invited guests also set out from home one after another. Lv Xianger, Lv Hong and Huo Qingqing were no exception. The three of them changed their clothes and were ready to go out. But when the three had just opened the door, they suddenly found four people standing outside the door, and one of them was already raising his hand to knock on the door.
When Huo Qingqing saw it, he immediately shouted in surprise, "Brother, fourth prince, why are you here?"
"I'll come and see you." When Huo Qingsong saw Huo Qingqing, his cold face softened a lot, and a trace of warmth also appeared in his eyes. The fourth prince quickly glanced at the yard behind Lv Xianger while everyone had no idea. When Huo Qingqing looked at him, he said with a smile in his eyes, "I was idle, so I followed my cousin to see you."
"His Royal Highness and General Huo came to the humble house. Please come into the house quickly for a cup of tea." Lv Hong and Lv Xianger looked at each other and had to give up their plan to go to Liao's house at this moment.
The fourth prince actually followed Huo Qingsong to the Lv family, which made Lv Hong and Lv Xianger very strange. Lv Hong had never thought of having a face-to-face chance with the fourth prince before. Although the brother and sister knew that the biological mother of the fourth prince was the adopted daughter of General Huo, they were related to each other. But the fourth prince is a high-ranking royal man. He actually came to the homes of ordinary people, which really made Lv Hong feel a little strange and didn't know what it was.
Huo Qingsong and the fourth prince took Huo Bao and Chen Lin to the living room of the Lu family. After several people sat down, Huo Qingqing began to tell Huo Qingsong about his experience during this period. Huo Qingsong also listened patiently, and the fourth prince was very interested in arguing with Huo Qingqing about the beauty and food of Jiangling Mansion.
Lv Hong and Lv Xianger sat quietly in the chair and listened to Huo Qingqing's happy words, but they thought in their hearts that they might not have a chance to go to Liao Wenbo's party. Just as Huo Qingqing said the same thing, drinking tea to moisten his throat, Huo Qingsong suddenly turned his head to Lv Hong and Lv Xianger.
The brother and sister were slightly stunned, and Huo Qingsong suddenly said, "Brother Hong, Mrs. Lv, can I say a few words with Mrs. Chaoxia alone?"
"Brother, how do you know..." Huo Qingqing just wanted to say, 'How do you know that Sister Chaoxia is here', but when she found that Lv Hong and Lv Xianger were stunned, she immediately closed her mouth. Looking back and forth on the faces of Huo Qingsong and Lu Hong, Huo Qingqing slowly felt the tense atmosphere in the living room.
The nervousness in Lu Hong and Lv Xianger's eyes made Huo Qingsong quickly add, "Don't get me wrong. I don't mean any harm. I just want to say a few words with Chaoxia."
Although Huo Qingsong said so, Lv Hong and Lv Xianger were a little disbelieving and didn't say anything. When the fourth prince wanted to try to say something, a shadow suddenly appeared at the door of the living room: "Brother Hong, Xiang'er, it's a nice day today. You should sit in the yard."
Chaoxia stood quietly at the door, looking calmly at Lv Hong and Lv Xianger. The look in her eyes made Lv Hong and Lv Xianger breathe a sigh of relief. The brother and sister looked at each other and got up together. Lv Xianger pulled Huo Qingqing, and Lv Hong said to the fourth prince, "Your Highness, the wine made by my sister is very good. How about your Highness going to the yard to have a drink?"
The fourth prince looked at Huo Qingsong. He nodded and stood up with a smile: "Oh, that's good. I have heard from my cousin for a long time that the wine made by Lv Xiaoniangzi is a rare wine in the world. I'd like to learn about it today.
"I'll get the wine." Lv Xianger waited for the fourth prince to take Chen Lin out, and then immediately went out of the living room to her room. Lv Hong asked Huo Qingqing to accompany the fourth prince. He went to ask Aunt Zheng to prepare some food to drink.
In the living room, as soon as Chaoxia walked in, Huo Bao came out and closed the door. Then, he came to Huo Qingqing's side, but looked at the living room from time to time. Several people didn't know what Huo Qingsong and Chaoxia were going to talk about. They all looked at the living room with the door closed, just like Huo Bao.
When Lv Xianger came back with a jar of wine, they turned their heads. At the insistence of the fourth prince, Huo Qingqing and Lv Hong sat on the left and right of the fourth prince respectively, and Lv Xianger sat next to Lv Hong. Lv Hong opened the jar, and a fragrance came to his nose. The fourth prince's eyes immediately lit up and looked at the wine jar attentively.
"Just smell the fragrance and you will know it's different. I'm really looking forward to it now." The fourth prince watched Lv Hong pour wine into the porcelain bowl, and his eyes became more and more brilliant. When Lv Hong removed the wine jar, the fourth prince couldn't wait to take up the bowl and took a sip gently.
When the wine was swallowed, the fragrance was still overflowing in his mouth. The fourth prince couldn't help shouting: "Good wine--"
"Since Your Highness likes it, it couldn't be better." Lv Hong was very proud of the praise of the fourth prince and poured him another cup. To be honest, Lv Hong hasn't found anyone yet. After drinking the wine brewed by Lv Xianger, he couldn't say it well.
The fourth prince, who likes wine very much, talked to Huo Qingqing and Lv Hong while looking at the living room from time to time, and his eyes flashed from time to time. And Lv Xianger, Lv Hong and Huo Qingqing are also like the fourth princes, paying attention to the living room and guessing from time to time.
About half an hour, the door of the living room was finally opened under the attention of several people. Lv Hong and Lv Xianger were a little worried about Chaoxia and immediately got up to meet her. Huo Qingqing found the behavior of the Lv Hong brother and sister, and also got up and followed him.
Huo Qingsong opened the door and nodded to Lv Hong and Lv Xianger, who were walking in front of him. When Lv Xianger passed him, Huo Qingsong stared at her for a long time before turning to Huo Qingqing. Huo Qingqing found Huo Qingsong's action, and his heart was a little strange.
However, Huo Qingsong did not give Huo Qingqing a chance to think about it again, but said seriously, "Qingqing, my brother's work has not been finished yet. You still live here for a while. However, you don't have to worry. If there is nothing I can do when the fourth prince is on his way back to Beijing, you can go back to Beijing with him.
"Oh, brother, I know." Huo Qingqing nodded and calmly accepted Huo Qingsong's arrangement. Because of the previous events, Huo Qingqing was a little psychologically prepared, so he did not have much emotional ups and downs.
Huo Qingsong smiled with relief when he saw Huo Qingqing, who had changed a lot from before. This smile looked in Huo Qingqing's eyes, and I don't know why it made her feel a little sad. Huo Qingqing, who wanted to say something very much, opened his mouth, but only moved. Huo Qingsong seemed to understand and smiled at Huo Qingqing. Without letting her speak, he walked to the fourth prince.
When the fourth prince saw Huo Qingsong's eyes, he first nodded, then got up and said to the living room, "Mrs. Lv, if you don't mind, the rest of the wine is given to me."
"Your Highness, if you like to drink this wine, I will give you a jar." Hearing the words of the fourth prince, Lv Xianger immediately walked out of the living room, and Chaoxia and Lv Hong followed her.
The fourth prince looked at the wine jar on the table, nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Mrs. Lv. However, I still want to drink the remaining jar on the way back to Beijing.
"Since Your Highness insists, there is no way for the people to refuse." Lv Xianger didn't expect that the fourth prince was so as noble as he imagined. With this feeling, Lv Xianger did not have the previous restraint in front of the fourth prince.
The fourth prince kept smiling and watched Lv Xianger get the wine. When Lv Xianger disappeared at the door, the fourth prince turned his head and smiled at Chaoxia, "This little lady, we seem to have met somewhere?"
"The daughter of the people has never met Your Highness. Your Highness has recognized the wrong person." Chaoxia took a look at the fourth prince and walked into the room next to him. Her face was always calm, and there was no ordinary people's fear when they saw high-ranking officials, just like looking at a tree and a stone.
The fourth prince smiled again, with a playful look in his eyes. However, thinking of the way Chaoxia looked at him, the fourth prince felt a little depressed. Thinking of his appearance, he is favored by many little women in Beijing. But in Chaoxia's eyes, it seems that it is not as attractive as a pot of flowers.
Soon, Lu Xianger held a jar of wine and handed it to Chen Lin. When Chen Lin took out the two wine jars, Huo Qingsong said goodbye to Lv Hong and Lv Xianger. Huo Qingsong first congratulated Lv Hong on passing the martial arts test. Then, Huo Qingsong told him that the small square would not happen again. Because the whole Jiangling Mansion is about to be under martial law for a period of time, during this period, the township trial is over, and Lv Hong and Lv Xianger may have gone to the capital.
When facing Lv Xianger, Huo Qingsong did not speak immediately, but looked at him like that. It was not until Lv Xianger was a little embarrassed and doubtful that Huo Qingsong said gently, "Thank you. See you later."
"Ah, thank me?" Lv Xianger was slightly stunned. When she wanted to ask Huo Qingsong why he thanked her, Huo Qingsong and the fourth prince, accompanied by Huo Qingqing and Lv Hong, had turned around and left the Lv family.
At the same time, Chaoxia walked out of the room. She has changed into a brighter skirt than before and smiled at Lv Xianger and said, "I'll accompany you to Liao Mansion..."
