In the late afternoon of that day, Xiao Luan arrived at Nanhu Restaurant dilly-dally.
He stood at the door of the restaurant and sighed for a long time, then stood there for two breaths before resolutely walking into the restaurant.
After waving away the waiter who came forward to greet her, Xiao Luan went straight up to the second floor, until he came to the last private seat at the end of the corridor, only to hear a "squeak", and the door of the private seat was opened from the inside.
"Second Young Master Xiao, our girl is waiting for you inside."
A little maid in Tsing Yi came out after blessing her, and invited Xiao Luan into the private seat.
Xiao Luan bravely walked in, and then the door of the private seat was closed again.
In the private seat, Qu Jiayue, who was wearing a rose red peony makeup and beanie, was sitting at a round table drinking tea. She had been waiting here for almost a stick of incense, and Xiao Luan was just late.
"Second Young Master, please sit down." Qu Jiayue asked with a smile on her face, but she was impatient in her heart. If this idiot was not the Second Young Master of Zhennan Palace, she would not bother to talk nonsense with him.
Qu Jiayue is a stunning beauty, there is no doubt about it, and it is precisely because of this that Xiao Luan graciously helped her borrow a carriage that day, and graciously sent her back to Qu Mansion. Isn't it Luan's romantic style that doesn't look dirty? !
But now, Xiao Luan finally understands that this beauty can't be touched casually, once drunk and sexually disordered, the beauty will become a gut-piercing poison!
Qu Jiayue urged Xiao Luan with her gaze, however, Xiao Luan still slowly walked to Qu Jiayue's side like a turtle crawling, and then slowly sat down.
"Miss Qu, what do you want from me?" Xiao Luan asked with a stiff face and a strange tone, as if he was about to jump up and run away in the next moment.
Seeing Xiao Luan's cowardly appearance, Qu Jiayue's impatience turned into disdain. Anyway, Xiao Luan can't escape her Wuzhishan, she just plays with him slowly!
"The second son is thirsty," Qu Jiayue said softly with a smile, and answered irrelevantly, "I'll pour you a cup of tea."
She picked up a purple sand teapot in one hand, stroked her sleeve with the other, her orchid fingers were slightly raised, she looked as elegant as a picture of a lady.
In the white porcelain teacup, the hot tea soup is green and bright, and the tea fragrance is overflowing.
Qu Jiayue brought the teacup to Xiao Luan with her own hands, but Xiao Luan dared not take it.
It was just a cup of tea, but once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of grass ropes for ten years, and he no longer dared to take things from other women casually.
It's all the fault of that bowl of rice wine pouring eggs!
Xiao Luan thought sadly in her heart.
"Miss Qu, what do you want from me?" Xiao Luan asked again.
The more anxious Xiao Luan became, the calmer Qu Jiayue became. She put down the white porcelain teacup in her hand, picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip of hot tea slowly, and said, "Second Young Master, you don't have to do this. Nervous. There is a saying: "One night husband and wife, one hundred nights grace", I just want you to do me a small favor, Second Young Master. For Second Young Master, it's just a little effort."
As she said that, the smile on Qu Jiayue's face became even wider, like a demon flower blooming lightly, exuding dazzling beauty.
Xiao Luan's eyelids twitched, and there was an ominous premonition in his heart.
As if to test his conjecture, Qu Jiayue said slowly, "I want you to find a way to ask the official to speak out."
Brother Guan? ! Xiao Luan blinked, dumbfounded, what does this have to do with Brother Guan.
"What do you want to do?" Xiao Luan asked suspiciously.
Hearing Xiao Luan's intimacy with Guan Yubai revealed in his words, Qu Jiayue was a little surprised, and the light in her eyes was even more strange.
She tried so many devious ways to get close to Guan Yubai!
Guan Yubai usually stays in the palace or military barracks, and rarely goes out. And she has no relationship with Guan Yubai, so she has no chance to get close to him, and her father refuses to help her, so she has to find ways to create opportunities by herself.
Originally, Qu Jiayue's first thought was to use Fu Yunhe, but she didn't want Fu Yunhe to ignore her cousin's relationship and ignore her. It was the second master of the palace who was greedy for beauty and stupid.
That is to say, a little drug put him down first, then took off his clothes, and then left such traces on his neck, Xiao Luan was so stupid as to think that they had something for him, is he worthy? !
Thinking about it, Qu Jiayue's eyes flashed a touch of sarcasm.
However, she was still a little surprised, she didn't expect Xiao Luan to have a good relationship with Guan Yubai, maybe her plan will go smoother than expected!
Qu Jiayue was a little excited and a little excited, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said lightly, "Don't worry about it, just ask him out." After saying that, Qu Jiayue took out another small Oiled paper bag, "When the time comes, you can quietly put this in the wine and let Guan Yubai drink it."
Xiao Luan looked at the greased paper bag, his eyes widened slightly, and he felt vigilant, so he blurted out and asked, "What's inside?"
This Qu Jiayue acted so sneakily, one could imagine that the oily paper bag contained nothing good, she was clearly the big brother of the evil official!
It's really a wasp's backstab, the most poisonous woman's heart!
Xiao Luan looked at Qu Jiayue now as if he was looking at poison wrapped in honey, and at the same time, doubts surfaced in his mind.
But, why did Qu Jiayue want to harm the elder brother? !
The Marquis of Pingyang seems to have returned to Luoyue City a few days ago. Could it be that Marquis Pingyang is dissatisfied with Brother Guan, and even covets the position of Marshal of the Army and Horse, and wants to get rid of Brother Guan? !
Or, Marquis Pingyang was bought by Xiye Remnants, and those Xiye Remnants wanted to poison the official elder brother to avenge the subjugation of the country? !
The more Xiao Luan thought about it, the more he felt the truth about himself, and just as he was about to reject it righteously, Qu Jiayue frowned and said, "Don't worry, Second Young Master, this is definitely not some kind of poison. How dare you murder the dignified marshal in Luoyue city!"
Xiao Luan only felt that Qu Jiayue was clearly coaxing him to be a fool, and asked angrily, "It's not poison, so what is it?!"
Qu Jiayue's pretty face froze, she almost didn't turn her face, and could only forcefully suppress the displeasure in her heart.
She blinked, and a layer of mist appeared in her eyes, and she looked like she was about to cry.
She picked up a handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said pitifully, "Second Young Master, what kind of person am I in your heart? You told me that day that I am the bright moon in your heart." , pure and flawless, I will be with you"
She bit her lower lip, a little blush appeared on her face, and the sparkle in her eyes was also stained with a hint of spring.
Talking about the absurd things that day, Xiao Luan's expression became awkward. He likes to talk nonsense when he is drunk. He once told one of his drinking buddies that he would pluck the bright moon from the sky for him.
Qu Jiayue wiped away her tears, and continued: "Second Young Master, I am also desperate. I want to ask the officer and marshal for something, so I have no choice but to make such a move. I also know that I am embarrassing Second Young Master. As long as Second Young Master is willing to help me, I will help you." When the incident of that day has never happened, the second son can be married to his wife, the gods and gods."
As she spoke, a line of clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes, like a delicate flower trembling slightly in the wind and rain.
Seeing the beauty cry, Xiao Luan almost softened his heart, but then he said to himself, for the safety of Brother Guan, he must not soften his heart!
However, if she rejects her, will she go to someone else? !
no!
As the saying goes, there is only one who can be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.
I just perfunctorily respond, and then measure it later.
Thinking about it, Xiao Luan only felt that his shoulders were heavy, and that he was about to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the protector brother!
Xiao Luan pretended to be hesitant, and said uncertainly: "Miss Qu, are you really trying to poison Brother Guan?"
"Of course!" Seeing Xiao Luan's face loosen, Qu Jiayue stretched out a jade-like hand to gently cover Xiao Luan's back, pretending to be wronged, "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Her eyelids were half down, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly like cicada wings. She looked charming, but a scornful light flashed in her eyes. , one fights on the battlefield, with iron bones, and the other achieves nothing, but is just a pile of mud that cannot be supported!
Know people, know face, but not heart! Xiao Luan was also slandering Qu Jiayue in his heart, he cleared his throat on the surface and asked again: "If I help you, just pretend that what happened that day never happened?"
Qu Jiayue was secretly happy, she nodded and said, "A word from a gentleman."
"Come on." Xiao Luan said as he picked up the oil-paper bag and said, "Then wait for my news." Xiao Luan pushed the door and left impatiently.
Looking at the empty door of the private seat, Qu Jiayue was in a good mood, and the corners of her mouth curled up even higher.
My plan has succeeded in the second step!
The next thing is to wait for news from Xiao Luan.
As for Xiao Luan, after leaving Nanhu Restaurant, he got on his horse and went straight back to Zhennan Palace.
Entering the mansion through a corner door, after Xiao Luan got off the horse, he casually threw the rope to the porter, and he went to Qingyunwu with a clear goal, and his steps were fast.
This time, Han Yu and Xiao Hui were the first to spot Xiao Luan. The two hawks croaked and circled around Xiao Luan's head as if to say hello. He stretched out his arm, trying to call Double Eagle over.
However, after the two eagles made a circle in mid-air, they flapped their wings and flew away as if they had never heard of it.
Xiao Luan withdrew his arms in embarrassment, coughed twice, and was about to continue walking, but met a pair of peach blossom eyes not far away that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Only then did Xiao Luan see two people sitting at the stone table by the opposite lake, one was Guan Yubai, and the other was his elder brother Xiao Yi.
Why is big brother here? ! Xiao Luan couldn't help but stop, his feet were trembling, wondering whether he should turn around and leave
While hesitating, a fiery red dumpling rushed over from the stone bridge on the lake, waved his hands and shouted: "Second Uncle!"
Little Xiao Yu flew towards Xiao Luan, Xiao Luan didn't dare to move anymore, if this made his eldest nephew mistakenly think that he despised him, then he would be in great trouble. Not to mention the elder brother, even the king father will not let him go!
"Brother Yu." Xiao Luan picked up little Xiao Yu, and used the little guy's body as a shield to block the elder brother's sight. With the eldest nephew here, the eldest brother should not do anything to him, right? !
Thinking about it, Xiao Luan only felt that he had obtained a life-saving talisman, and according to his eldest nephew's preference, he weighed him, making the little guy laugh heartily.
Xiao Luan quickly carried little Xiao Yu to the stone table, and there were sheets of silk paper full of writing on the table, pressed by several eagle-shaped white porcelain paperweights. ..
Xiao Luan didn't dare to take a closer look, and greeted the two elder brothers with his nephew in his arms: "Brother, Brother Guan."
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Luan angrily, and also asked Xiaosi's question.
"That..." Xiao Luan apologized stiffly, he really didn't dare to mention Qu Jiayue in front of Xiao Yi, his eyeballs were rolling around, thinking that he should put it off first, and wait until the eldest brother left, so he said dryly He said calmly, "I want to ask Brother Guan, is the sweet-scented osmanthus red bean cake from the day before yesterday delicious?"
"tasty."
It was the fat little baby in his arms who answered Xiao Luan first, and he looked at Xiao Luan with bright eyes.
Xiao Luan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, remembering his nephew's kindness in helping him out, and hurriedly said: "Brother Yu likes it! Then uncle will buy it for you."
After speaking, Xiao Luan wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but Xiao Yi stopped him with two words: "Stop!"
Just as Xiao Luan put down his little nephew, he was so stiff that he didn't dare to move. He maintained a bent over posture, and looked at Xiao Yi timidly, "Brother."
Xiao Yi moved his right hand, and there was a gleaming throwing knife in his hand, "Do you want to do it yourself, or should I extract a confession?"
Xiao Luan looked at the Willow Leaf Flying Knife in Xiao Yi's hand, and suddenly felt a chill on his neck, swallowed hard, and said hastily, "I'll do it myself! I'll do it myself!"
Where does this begin
After thinking for a while, Xiao Luan maintained his original posture and covered his eldest nephew's ears.
The eldest nephew is only over two years old, so don't spoil his ears. Moreover, the eldest nephew is so smart, if he memorizes two or three sentences of what he said, and then casually says it in front of his sister-in-law, the eldest brother may tell him The account will be counted on him again.
Thinking about it, Xiao Luan trembled in his heart, and told the story of meeting Qu Jiayue at Nanhu Restaurant just now as quickly as possible, the more he said, the more righteous indignation filled him, and he snorted coldly: "Brother Guan, this woman is clearly Play me for a fool! Hey, even if I haven’t seen a pig run, I’ve eaten pork, so there’s no good in drugging people!”
As he said that, he got off topic, eloquently citing a concubine in a certain mansion who poisoned his first wife, and a woman from a certain family in the city who conspired with an adulterer to put rat poison in her husband's wine, etc. , Xiao Yi frowned.
This idiot really has no self-knowledge. If he is not stupid, how can he not realize that he has been tricked? ! Xiao Yi thought silently.
At the end, Xiao Luan looked at Guan Yubai worriedly, and said: "Brother Guan, you must be careful, the most poisonous woman's heart, this woman can't do anything, she will think again Ways to harm you."
Xiao Luan babbled on for a while, Xiao Xiaoyu thought at first that the second uncle was playing with her by covering her ears, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't wait for the second uncle's next reaction, and moved impatiently from Xiao Luan. Luan got out from there and climbed onto his father's lap again, curiously wanting to touch the throwing knife in his father's hand.
As soon as Xiao Yi moved his hand, the flying knife disappeared miraculously.
Xiao Xiaoyu blinked, a little in disbelief, holding his father's hand and looking at it again and again.
Seeing that the flying knife was gone, Xiao Luan breathed a sigh of relief, finally straightened his sorely bent waist stiffly, and once again cast grateful eyes on his elder nephew.
Thank you so much!
Brother Yu, Second Uncle will remember you well!
Xiao Luan was so moved that tears filled his eyes, and the next moment, he met Xiao Yi's indifferent eyes, which made him subconsciously stand up straight with his chest and stomach retracted.
Xiao Yi didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he asked directly: "Where is the thing she gave you?"
Only then did Xiao Luan remember, and hastily took out the oil-paper bag from his belt, and respectfully put it on the stone table.
Xiao Xiaoyu subconsciously reached out to grab it, but was a step slower than his father. He was a little disappointed, and looked up at Xiao Luan, "Second Uncle"
Xiao Luan had no choice but to promise: "Brother Yu, Second Uncle will buy you sweet-scented osmanthus and red bean cake tomorrow."
"Thank you, Second Uncle." Satisfied, the little guy went to play with the white eagle paperweight on the stone table, patting and knocking for a while.
Xiao Luan rubbed his hands together, and asked tremblingly: "Brother, can I 'go'?" He reluctantly added emphasis on "go", if the elder brother let him go again this time, it seems a bit difficult ah!
Xiao Luan looked at Xiao Yi nervously, and his heart ached.
