Family Has a Concubine

Qiu Lang frowned: "Speaking of which, Chu Sanlang is very kind to his cousin. Besides, didn't he match Ye Lingjiao and Tanhua? If he wanted to make up, he wouldn't make up. Isn't it embarrassing to work together?"

Qiu Jing was startled, but shook her head: "My cousin must be begging him, he just wants to make up for my cousin."

Seeing that Qiu Jing was stubborn, Qiu Lang didn't want to say any more.

The two had already arrived at the Chuihua Gate, and happened to see Qiuju coming over with a food box in his hand, and they were startled when they saw them: "Master Cousin, are you leaving now? Don't you want to eat?"

Qiu Lang smiled faintly: "There is something urgent at home, next time."

"Oh." Qiuju agreed, "The two of you go slowly."

"good."

The two got into the carriage and left. Qiu Ju watched them leave before walking towards the West Kuan Courtyard.

Walking into Qiongmingxuan, I saw Ye Tangcai sitting at the table with her head down, not knowing what she was doing.

"Girl?" Qiu Ju walked over, "What's wrong with you?"

"Not much, I'm going to take a nap." After finishing speaking, she stood up and headed towards the house.

Qiu Ju was taken aback, taking a nap? It's not even noon yet?

Qiuju clearly felt that Ye Tangcai was in a low mood, followed Ye Tangcai into the house, Ye Tangcai went to the bedroom, and Qiuju went to the west room, only to see Huiran holding Ye Tangcai's new one A summer dress with embroidery on it.

Qiu Ju whispered: "What's wrong with the girl?"

"Huh?" Hui Ran was dumbfounded by her question. She was working in the house just now, and Ye Tangcai was outside talking to the brothers from the Qiu family, so it was expected that nothing would happen. She was so attentive that she didn't even know that the brothers from the Qiu family had left.

"I see that the girl is in a bad mood, and she is going to take a nap now." Qiu Ju said.

Huiran lowered her head, thinking of Chu Yunpan's going out early and returning late, she sighed slightly: "It's useless to ask her now, let's do it first."

...

Fish Osmanthus House——

At the end of the corridor on the third floor, in the second-to-last room, King Liang leaned on the couch after the big Jiang Taigong was fishing and inserted the screen.

Chu Yunpan and an old gentleman in his sixties with white beard and hair sat on the side chair and played chess.

The old man holds the white, Chu Yunpan holds the black, on the chessboard, the white pieces have been killed so that they are powerless to fight back.

The old gentleman sighed slightly: "With Yunpan's strength, if you really go to Yingcheng, you will be able to solve the crisis in Yingcheng."

"Mr. Zhou has won the prize." Chu Yunpan said with a cold expression, "Now it's just talk on paper."

Mr. Zhou nodded. What he admired most about this student was his pragmatism and humility. Who can memorize the book of war and the art of war, who can't play war chess, there are many people who can play beautifully.

But the battlefield is not a chessboard, and pawns are not cold chess pieces. They are human beings, flesh and blood, on the ever-changing, life-and-death battlefield, watching the blood flow around, will panic, will be frightened, if the control is not good, sometimes it is obviously an advantage, but it will also become a disadvantage. If you lose, you are dead, and it is impossible to play another game.

"The emergency report this morning." Liang Wang's cold voice came from under the window, "The old man of the Feng family was beheaded just like his son. Yingcheng was breached, and the two young men of the Feng family have brought the remaining people with them." Back to Yu'an pass."

When Chu Yunpan heard the word Yu'anguan, his fractured fingers tightened.

Mr. Zhou's face was cold. Obviously, he had guessed the result a long time ago, and shook his head: "Feng family, if the Xiao family and Chu family hadn't collapsed, what would happen to him! It's hard to guard Yingcheng, and now that The two barbarians attacked together, and they were naturally driven down. Under such an offensive, they have been defending for nearly a month, which is already unexpected."

"Chu San, are you ready?" Liang Wang glanced at him with a half-smile.

"Yeah." Chu Yunpan nodded coldly.

King Liang laughed lightly: "Don't die."

"No." Chu Yunpan said standing up and walking outside.

After leaving the Yugui Tower, Chu Yun climbed to the place where he usually practiced martial arts, and practiced with Yu Yang and Yu Han for most of the day, and when he returned home, it was almost midnight.

Under the silvery moonlight, the three of them walked to Lanzhuju. Yu Yang took out the key to open the door, Chu Yunpan stood at the door, but couldn't help but look at Qiongmingxuan not far away.

Looking at a dim yellow lantern hanging in front of the gate, it was blown out by the wind.

He couldn't help but walked over and gently supported her. Touching the dim yellow lantern in my hand, I only felt a slight warmth. Thinking, I couldn't help but put my hand on the cold door and pushed it lightly, but the door was tightly locked.

He only felt a slight coldness in his heart, then turned around and walked back.

Yu Yang had already opened the door of Lan Zhuju, and when he saw him coming, he said: "It's too late, Third Granny and the others are already asleep, let's find her again tomorrow!"

Chu Yunpan shook his head: "No need, that's it."

Several people entered the house and rested after bathing.

Early the next morning, Chu Yunpan went out early to go to the government office as usual.

Ye Tangcai fell asleep halfway through the hour before getting up sleepily, her long hair messed up.

Huiran fetched water, Ye Tangcai washed his face and sat on the dressing table, but Qiuju didn't come for a long time. Ye Tangcai got a little impatient, and called out: "Qiuju?"

"Hey!" Qiuju's voice of agreement came from the door, and then Qiuju rushed in.

"Where did you go?" Ye Tangcai glared at her.

"I'll go to Lanzhuju to see if the third master is up." Qiuju walked behind Ye Tangcai, picked up an ivory comb to comb Ye Tangcai's hair, her little face was reflected in the mirror, and she was flattened mouth, "Isn't it time to take a rest today? Why are you still going to the Yamen?"

Hui Ran came over with her clothes and hung them on a hanger beside her: "I heard that there was another war at the border. The higher-ups are in a bad mood, and they have to discuss the war at the border early every day. Even Jinshang, Shoufu and Shangshu ministers don't stop bathing. Lord, how dare they take a rest!"

Qiu Ju was stunned: "So that's it! Then I won't be able to rest for a long time." Her face was full of disappointment. What she saw in her eyes was only restless bathing.

When Ye Tangcai heard about the border war, her heart skipped a beat, she held it gently with her hands on her knees, her knuckles turned white. After thinking for a while, he said, "Come on, let's go to a restaurant outside to have some snacks."

"Oh." Qiuju's heart jumped up again. "Then where shall we eat? Chen Guilou?"

Chen Guilou is the best restaurant in the north of the city, and Ye Tangcai usually goes there to pack meals.

Ye Tangcai thought for a while before saying, "Go to Qinglong Tea House."

"Ah! It's been a long time!" Qiuju looked excited. Qinglong Tea Shop is well-known in the capital, the dishes it serves are mediocre, but it can't stand the excitement there!

Qinglong Tea House has the most storytellers. When you sit there, eat snacks and listen to people's stories or gossip, not to mention how lively and fun it is. I heard that Qinglong Teahouse, in order to maintain this feature to attract customers, also gave those storytellers a bonus every month, so that they would come to the teahouse to tell stories every day.
