Chapter 240 I don't know the rules

Go back to Liren Lane.

A Cui hurried to the study and came to Du Qi who was still reading.

"It's not good! We met a man today, and Sister Song treats him very differently!"

Du Qi held the book, indifferent.

A Cui tugged at his arm, and said with a serious face, "Brother Ah Qi, don't worry, that man is a prodigy of the Great Song Dynasty who is as famous as Mr. Song, named Yan Shu."

Hearing this, Ah Qi put down the book, stroked his chin and began to think.

Of course he knew Yan Shu's name.

My elder brother used to be obsessed with martial arts, and my father hated iron for being weak, so he always talked about Song Shou and taught his elder brother to learn from others and study hard.

Ever since Song Shou and Yan Shu were awarded Jinshi at the same time at the age of 14, their father often talked about their names.

Although Du Qi is young, he has also heard many stories about the child prodigies of the two, especially their family and Uncle Song's family are old friends, and he has always been very familiar with these people and these things.

If it was Yan Shu, it is really possible to compare with his brother
Ah Qi looked at A Cui solemnly, and motioned him to tell the whole story.

A Cui sat down next to him, and told Ah Qi in detail how he and Sister Song watched the big boat in Hongqiao, drew pictures in the teahouse, and how Yan Shu overheard their conversation, as well as the conversation in the embroidery workshop. .

After Ah Qi heard it, she tapped Ah Cui on the forehead and said, "Stupid."

A Cui: "I'm not stupid."

He is obviously very smart!

Otherwise, Brother Ah Qi would not only talk in front of himself, but act cold in front of other people.

Ah Qi said: "When you were in the embroidery workshop, you shouldn't say 'brother is still waiting at home'."

"Then what am I going to say?"

"Stupid!" Ah Qi tapped his forehead lightly again with the book, "If you just said that brother-in-law is still waiting at home, wouldn't Yan Shu stop pestering her?"

"Ah! That's right." Ah Cui realized later, and looked at the unpredictable Ah Qi with admiration, "Then what should we do now?"

"fine."

Du Qifu picked up the book and read it again.

He believed in Sister Song.

Although she is indeed a person who can't move her legs when she sees a good-looking person, but he believes that her brother is Song's favorite.

Seeing that Ah Qi was not worried at all, Ah Cui felt relieved, and graciously took out the painting in the teahouse just now, unfolded it in front of Du Qi: "Look, Ah Qi, this is the Hongqiao by the Bian River."

Looks like he's asking for a compliment.

Ah Qi glanced at her, nodded her praise, and then looked away.

A Cui was very frustrated: "That's right, you have been living in Kaifeng before, and you have seen it countless times, it's not unusual anymore."

Du Qi didn't reply to him, so A Cui shut up, took the book silently, imitated Du Qi's appearance, and looked decently.

After a while, he couldn't bear to read any more, so he simply spread out the drawing paper, and began to draw carefully just like Ah Qi was reading a book.

Brother Aqi is so pretty.

After A Cui drew a draft of his painting, his nose keenly smelled a scent from the kitchen, and his stomach growled honestly.

He shyly glanced at Du Qi who was reading seriously, and saw that the other party didn't notice his movement at all, so he put down the pen and paper and stood up, patted the non-existent ashes on his body, and said seriously:
"I need to go for a meal."

Du Qi looked at the back of him bouncing and running away, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

cute.

After thinking about it, he also put down the book and walked out of the study.

Song Guichen and Third Sister Chang are busy in the kitchen.

Seeing A Cui who was running briskly, Third Sister Chang stuffed him with a few skewers of drunken sweet prawns, and said, "Let's have some snacks first, and then dinner will be served."

Du Qi walked around but didn't see Du Qingshan, so he must be in the Kou Mansion.

My brother has been very busy these days, it seems that Master Kou is about to leave for Chang'an Yongxing Army, these days the mansion is hosting a banquet for friends.

Du Qi silently thought, the Jiedu Envoy didn't have to go to the location originally, it was just a name, but now Mr. Kou has to go, maybe there is some unavoidable reason?
He thought for a long time, but did not come up with an answer.

Then he frowned and leaned against the door, thinking silently.

Originally thought that the emperor recalled Mr. Kou to the capital with an imperial decree to reuse him, but seeing the current trend, something went wrong again?
That's right, Mr. Kou has a straightforward temperament. I heard that the court has spoken harshly to Ding Wei, Wang Qinruo and others in the past few days, which made the emperor very unhappy.

Could it be that he was framed by a traitor again and was about to be demoted again?

Although Du Qi's guess wasn't completely correct, it was pretty close.

In the evening, Du Qingshan sent someone to send a message, saying that his teacher had accepted the imperial edict and set off for Chang'an to garrison the Yongxing Army immediately, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing without the imperial edict.

He was in the Kou Mansion today to discuss matters with his mentor, and he will not come back.

This order came suddenly, but not suddenly.

"Then let's eat by ourselves."

Song Guichen greeted all the girls to come to the table to eat together, everyone waved their hands repeatedly, Song Guichen had no choice but to say: "There is still food in the kitchen, you can eat it yourself, you don't need to wait here."

Everyone knew Song Guichen's temperament, so they didn't insist anymore, and quietly withdrew.

The third sister served a meal for everyone, and Song Guichen saw that Father Chang was still standing waiting for him to be seated, knowing that their father and daughter always regarded him as a superior master, and felt a little helpless.

"Uncle Li, you are an elder, if you don't take a seat, all of us can only stand up to eat."

"No, no." Father Chang repeatedly backed away and declined, "It is already a great kindness for our father and daughter to be taken in by the girl. The girl is kind and allows my father and daughter to eat at the same table. How dare the old man stay at the host's house?" Take your seat before?"

The third sister and Song Guichen were not much different in age, but after getting along these days, they got a lot closer.He was not as reserved as before, seeing his father like this, he hurriedly smiled and helped him over: "Father, please take a seat, everyone is waiting for you."

Father Chang said sharply: "There are no rules! Miss Song took us in, did you allow you to be up and down like this?"

"father?"

Third Sister Chang was stunned, she didn't understand why her father reacted so suddenly.

Weren't you all fine a few days ago?

Sister Song didn't treat them as servants, and Mr. Du didn't care about these things. They lived under the same roof and ate at the same table regardless of each other.

What happened to dad today?
Song Guichen also noticed the abnormality of Father Chang, because he said: "Father Li, you know, I grew up in the countryside in the mountains, and I never knew the rules, nor the status. I treat Sisi like a younger sister , and regard you as a respected old man, there is absolutely no intention of repaying your kindness."

Father Chang said: "The lives of our father and daughter were saved by the girl. The girl is kind and treats our father and daughter as relatives. It's just that my father and daughter are duckweeds in the sea and grass without roots. They should be cows. How can a horse repay the girl for saving her life, so how can she feel at ease to eat at the same table with the girl."

He reprimanded the third sister, "Sisi, did you hear clearly?"

The third sister nodded aggrievedly.

Seeing this, Song Guichen felt even more strange.

Du Qi sat there: "But what did the servants say?"
