Zhao Chujin focused on sharpening her sword and rushing towards "Qi Dog".
But Qi Huai's whereabouts are really hard to find. He searched for several days, but he couldn't find it. At this time, he was displeased: "This Qi dog, Qi Zhinian studies hard every day. When it's so important, he can be at ease. Leave a little child at home!!"
Guard: "..."
"Good guy, just saying that, I just remembered that he left Jiang Qiniang and Qi Zhinian at home and ignored them for more than ten years!!"
The guard interjected: "My lord, you didn't say that the Duke had a conspiracy and he obviously didn't like them, but because he wanted to take advantage of Mr. Qi Xiaolang and Mrs. Jiang, he brought them back home, and they didn't see each other for more than ten years?"
Zhao Chujin stared at him fiercely: "You know, you are good everywhere, but there is one place where you are not good!"
"My lord, please clarify!"
"You're just too honest and have a great memory! Get lost!"
How dare the guard really get out, Zhao Chujin calmed down after speaking, and turned around in circles thinking how to beat Qi Huai hard.
Zhao Chujin also wanted to provide some help to Jiang Qiniang, but she was afraid that he would live a good life. He would scare them when he appeared, or mistake him for what he was going to do. Apart from giving Jiang Qiniang money, he really couldn't give more.
He thought about himself again, now the rumors in Beijing that he is the late emperor's own son are getting stronger and stronger than the one more than ten years ago.
I don't know what will happen to him himself, but it's fine, maybe he will never show up, Jiang Qiniang will live better.
It's just that Qi Zhinian can no longer let him go here.
Thinking that he was the one who let Qi Zhinian know what he was thinking, he regretted it.
Isn't the reason why Qi Zhinian fell in love with Qi Huai old dog because he was young and met few people?After Qi Zhinian has passed the exam, he will take this child to see the world!I have met many people, so naturally I won't take Qi Gou seriously!
The next day, Qi Zhinian carried the test basket and entered the examination room again. He took the test three times in a row, and when the rankings were released again, Qi Zhinian was No.1 again.
If it is said that the county test won the first place, it can still be said to be luck, but this government test is still the first, it has to be admirable. So far, the person who can even get the first place in the county test and the government test is placed in the whole world. , and not much.
More people began to ask who this Qi Kui was.
Qi Zhinian is a low-key person and rarely interacts with others, outsiders really can't find out.
In the elite circle, almost everyone already knew that Qi Kui was Qi Zhinian.
Usually, the emperor doesn't care about county examinations and government examinations. After all, there are so many prefectures and counties in the world, how can he care about it? When he gets the examination, he will find someone to talk about the famous students .
This time it is different, the family of meritorious service has not had a talented person like Qi Zhinian for many years.
Although Qi Zhinian's status is still embarrassing, and he was kicked out of the house before, but now he goes in and out of the British government as usual, whether the eldest princess and the British government treat him well, outsiders still regard him as the British government people.
Of course, there was a person who slapped dragons and told the emperor about it. Even if he didn't say it, the emperor himself was really thinking about it.
Hearing that Qi Zhinian was still the first in the test, even the old emperor was a little surprised. To be honest, he originally wanted to ration the fifth princess to Qi Zhinian, but now, he wanted to ration his most beloved eighth princess to Qi Zhinian.
Concubine Cheng Gui was also thinking about this matter, she said to the second prince: "Your father's successful ascension to the throne was thanks to the Eldest Princess' full support. I won't say much about it, you know it in your heart."
"Son understands, it's just that Xiaosi did what he did to Lu San last time, and I'm afraid he will offend the eldest princess and Qi Huai severely."
Concubine Cheng snorted coldly: "Uncle Guangyan is out of luck, Your Majesty rested here yesterday, and even scolded me when I mentioned it, you told Xiao Si not to play with his family! So as not to drag you down."
"My son knows that after the last time, my son has made people look after him, and he is not allowed to leave the palace at will."
"I have a way, maybe it can ease the relationship with the eldest princess and the British government."
"Mother, please tell me."
Concubine Cheng's eyes sparkled: "Yue girl cried like that last time... Don't mention Qi Zhinian's side, this appearance, tsk, the little girl likes it very much."
"But mother concubine, Qi Zhinian's identity..."
"Before I entered the palace, the Cheng family was just a seventh-rank official." Concubine Cheng was unpredictable, "If she can really marry Qi Zhinian, it is her good fortune. The queen still wants to marry the fifth princess to her." What about him, the princess can marry, but she can't?"
The second prince thought for a while and figured it out, no matter who he is, Qi Zhinian, the eldest princess and Qi Huai are behind him!
He got up: "I will go out of the palace to discuss this matter with my uncle."
"Remember to be quick! When the news of his house's first place in the test spreads, we don't know how many people are going to grab it. The eldest princess will not give us face. It is best to start directly from Jiang Qiniang."
"Yes!"
Qi Zhinian, who has been missed by many parties, is at his mother Jiang Qiniang's place at this time, and there must be a good celebration for such a happy event.
After all, Jiang Qiniang's address was only known to a small number of people. Besides, they had no friends, and their relatives had long since stopped seeing each other. Even if they were celebrating, the home was very quiet.
Quiet is better than quiet, the weather is getting hotter, Jiang Qiniang is too weak to use ice, Qi Zhinian sits with her in the water pavilion to enjoy the coolness.
Qi Zhinian sent someone to bring small pieces of ice and glass bowls, as well as some fresh melons and fruits.
He rolled up his sleeves, chiseled the ice one by one, and planned to make some ice bowls to eat.
A good-looking person is also good-looking even when digging ice. Jiang Qiniang slowly shook the round fan in her hand, watching Qi Zhinian digging ice with a smile on her face. The ice, blowing on the face, has cooled down a lot, which is very refreshing.
Mother Fan was also happy looking at it, and said softly: "Our young gentleman has such good looks and talents, even a fairy in the sky can match him!"
Qi Zhinian paused his hands, smiled, and didn't answer the voice.
On the contrary, Jiang Qiniang stopped the fan in her hand and shifted her gaze to the lake outside the window. Perhaps because her own fate was too rough, she did not insist on Qi Zhinian's marriage.
Unless Qi Zhinian meets a woman he really likes in the future, what's the point of getting married?
She doesn't like her own birth, if possible, she would rather not have this person in the world.
She withdrew her gaze and said softly: "There is no rush to marry a wife, as long as you are happy with yourself, you can do what you like. Mother knows that your heart is in the south of the Yangtze River. When you pass the Jinshi exam, you just don't want to be an official." , I want to travel around, my mother agrees. Life is alive, and it is a pleasure to ask for it."
Qi Zhinian looked up at Jiang Qiniang, unable to speak a thousand words, the mother and son looked at each other and smiled.
Qi Zhinian chiseled the ice and began to add melons and fruits. While he was busy, someone came to report that the eldest princess had arrived.
The few of them stood up immediately and went out to meet the eldest princess.
The Eldest Princess is straightforward, even when she walks neatly. Qi Zhinian and Jiang Qiniang have not yet reached the gate of the courtyard. , come into the house quickly."
"Yes, yes—" Jiang Qiniang was too nervous to speak.
The eldest princess did not expect her to change her personality, Qi Zhinian said: "Eldest princess, my mother and I were enjoying the cool air in the waterside pavilion, are you going to the waterside pavilion, or in the house?"
"I'll go to the water pavilion too."
Qi Zhinian led the eldest princess to the water pavilion.
On the way, the eldest princess also praised: "The house is not big, but the scenery is good, and the Jiang family has a heart."
"Yes..." Jiang Qiniang responded softly.
Seeing her timid appearance, the eldest princess wanted to teach her a few words. As a woman, she is also an orphan and widow, she still has children to take care of, and she has to stand up on her own, so others will not look down on you!I also think that Jiang Qiniang has such a temperament, and besides, her hapless son entrusted her to come here today...
Thinking of what she was going to do, even the eldest princess felt ashamed.
Thinking that she was the eldest princess, so honorable, she would do such a thing for her son.
This is just the beginning, what will the two of them really want in the future, how could she have the face to talk to Jiang Qiniang like this!
She sighed inwardly.
Children, they are all debts!It's all debt!
The eldest princess dared not say a word.
Rather, Jiang Qiniang was flattered, she was already used to being reprimanded by the eldest princess, but the eldest princess didn't say anything about her this time...
They went back to the waterside pavilion, and the eldest princess ate the ice bowl that Qi Zhinian carved out with her own hands. Take the exam well, and then you will be a serious little scholar, but don't be anxious, you will never be able to leave."
"Yes." Qi Zhinian stood up and saluted earnestly, "Remember the teaching of the eldest princess."
"Yeah." The eldest princess wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and after a long moment of embarrassment, she said casually, "This summer's cherries are already in fruit, but I suddenly want to eat them."
Jiang Qiniang immediately said, "Your Highness, I'll send someone out to buy it right away."
"It's not necessary. There is a small cherry grove in my village, and I'm afraid the fruit is already hanging."
Qi Zhinian got up: "Princess, why don't I go for a run on the mountain? I'll be back in more than an hour."
Although it was hot, Jiang Qiniang felt sorry for her son, but the eldest princess owed them such a great favor, and she just went to pick some cherries, so she nodded, "Nian'er, go and come back soon!"
Qi Zhinian bid farewell to the two, and immediately went out with others.
Jiang Qiniang carefully said to the eldest princess: "Just wait for an hour or two and it will be done."
"En." The eldest princess picked up the teacup, covering up the embarrassment on her face.
After Qi Zhinian went out, the guards from the Princess's Palace followed her. Jiang Qiniang lived outside the city, so it was cheaper to go to the mountains. After more than half an hour, they arrived at the gate of the Princess's Zhuangzi.The Zhuangzi of the eldest princess is very big, there are three big ones in Qihuai Zhuangzi. There are peach forests, apricot forests, persimmon forests, ginkgo forests, etc. in the back mountain. The cherry forest is facing west, and there is a small river beside the forest. There are many wild lotus flowers.
The flowering season of the lotus is half a month later. At this time, most of them are flower buds, and a small number of flowers are already in full bloom. It is very wonderful to be shy and timid.
Qi Zhinian jumped out of the carriage, stood by the river admiring the flowers for a while, took a deep breath of the mountain breeze, and then took people to the cherry grove.
Sure enough, they all bear fruit, and the branches are full of bunches of small orange cherries, unique and cute, shaking slightly in the summer wind, like a bell, Qi Zhinian raised his hand unconsciously to pick a bunch, and ate one, it was very sweet. sweet.
The cherries burst when touched and are full of juice.
Qi Zhinian tried several trees, trying to find the sweetest one, but found that every tree was very sweet.
He asked Xiao Wu to bring baskets, and distributed them to Zhuangzi's servants: "Let's pick them quickly, and go back quickly, the eldest princess is waiting to eat, these are sweet!"
Everyone agreed and started picking cherries with baskets in hand.
Qi Zhinian carried the basket and walked to the depths. Someone was picking the ones he had tasted just now, so he had to pick some sweet ones.
He tasted a few more trees and found the taste to be good, so he put the basket on the ground and prepared to pick it himself.
Before he raised his head, a bunch of cherries suddenly hit him on the head, and it didn't hurt to hit the small fruit. Qi Zhinian touched his head, but didn't take it seriously, and bent down to pick up the bunch of cherries, but he As soon as he stood up straight, another bunch of cherries fell, Qi Zhinian was a little displeased, is this some kind of bird against him?
He looked up, but saw Qi Huai leisurely lying on one of the branches among the dense cherry leaves, playing with a bunch of cherries in his hand.
"You, you, you—" Qi Zhinian took a big step forward, his eyes widened, speechless.
Qi Huai smiled and asked him: "Miss me?"
How could you not want to! !Since he was in the palace that day, he hadn't seen each other for more than ten days. He knew that Qi Huai had important plans to plan, so he never dared to disturb him. Moreover, he was also preparing for the exam recently, so he was concentrating and did not dare to be distracted.
After the exam, there was not a day when he didn't think about Qi Huai.
After Qi Huai asked him, and finally saw Qi Huai, he was too excited and nodded vigorously: "I miss you!"
Qi Huai was also taken aback for a moment, never expecting that the usually restrained little guy would admit it so generously.
Qi Zhinian took another step forward: "I really miss you!"
Qi Huai came back to his senses, a smile came out of his heart, he got up and jumped down from the tree.
Before he could stand still, Qi Zhinian rushed over, stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around him, and hugged him tightly.
Just as Qi Huai was about to circle him, Qi Zhinian had already come out of his arms and took a step back. He didn't know whether it was shame or something, his face was red, his eyes were shining, he stared at Qi Huai and said: "My government test is the same. First!!!"
His face was full of waiting for his praise.
Qi Huai laughed out loud and nodded to him: "I know."
Qi Zhinian clenched his fists.
Qi Huai simply stepped forward, hugged him into his arms, and whispered in his ear: "It's really amazing, our young brother is the most powerful in the world."
Qi Zhinian wanted to laugh, but he was afraid that his laugh would be too exaggerated, so he sank his face into Qi Huai's shoulder.
Qi Huai looked down at him and said with a smile, "I'll accompany you to whatever you want to do today."
Only then did Qi Zhinian come back to his senses, and immediately raised his head and said, "No, I still want to give the eldest princess cherries. I'm Princess Fengchang, uh—" Seeing the rare narrow smile on Qi Huai's face, he Some couldn't believe it, "No way..."
Qi Huai nodded again: "As you guessed."
"But how could the eldest princess..." Qi Zhinian was so nervous.
"If not, I don't know when your mother will let him go." Qi Huai said pitifully.
Qi Zhinian laughed out loud.
He rested his head on Qi Huai's shoulder again, he really liked Qi Huai so much.
Qi Huai also likes him, right?Otherwise why?Wanting to see him, even the eldest princess used it.
But I don't know what attitude the eldest princess will have?
Does the eldest princess know this is the reason?
Qi Zhinian was happy, but worried.
Qi Huai pointed to the cherries all over the tree and said: "I heard Madam Ji say that when you were in the Duke's Mansion, you used to make all kinds of fruit stuffing yourself, why don't you also make some cherry stuffing?"
"Okay, okay!" Qi Zhinian nodded vigorously, "It's ready, take it down the mountain and give it to the eldest princess!"
"Then, just do what you say?" Qi Huai's eyes once again showed that kind of youthful flying, and Qi Zhinian really liked it.
Of course he just nodded.
There is a clear stream beside the cherry grove. The guards directly brought the table, and the maids brought the wine and wine jars, and they directly made cherry stuffing in the cherry grove.
It's still the same steps as making plum blossom stuffing, except that plum blossoms are replaced with cherries.
Qi Huai has already seen it once, and remembers it clearly, it can help a lot.
Qi Zhinian picked the tree with the most fruit, and before he took the scissors to pick it, Qi Huai stretched out his hand and shook it, obviously the movement looked elegant, but with great strength, all the cherries fell to the ground in a short time, Qi Huai Zhinian stood under the tree laughing for a while, then bent down to pick it up, he picked it up here, and Qi Huai was in charge of carrying the basket to the stream to wash the cherries.
It is not at all under the guise of other people's hands.
After working with his own hands for more than an hour, Qi Zhinian was finally able to put cherries and rock sugar in the wine jar.
Qi Huai also wanted to help, but after a while he became impatient and threw cherries into the jar.
Qi Zhinian was not happy, he thought it was so ugly.
Qi Huai plausibly said: "This is a completely redundant step, and it does not affect the final taste."
"Why doesn't it affect it? The wine that is stacked in this way will have a sense of hierarchy! I have tried it many times!"
"In the end it melted and mixed with the wine." Qi Huai said, and threw another handful of cherries into the wine jar.
Qi Zhinian was so angry, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
That's fine, Qi Huai unsealed a jar of white wine and helped him pour the wine into the jar, Qi Zhinian became even angrier: "That's the jar where you threw cherries everywhere, I'm going to make it again! Don't pour the wine!"
Qi Huai smiled: "I can drink this altar myself."
"No, no, no!" Qi Zhinian wanted to jump on the spot, he felt that Qi Huai was just making trouble.
If Dr. Huanglian was here, he would know that Qi Zhinian has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Seeing Qi Zhinian jumping up and down in anger, Qi Huai thought it was very interesting, the more he wanted to tease Qi Zhinian, the more he continued to make gestures, which was not helpful.
Qi Zhinian was so angry that he picked up the wooden spoon and knocked on his hand: "Go away! You—"
Qi Huai's hand stopped there, Qi Zhinian was also dumbfounded, he was hitting Qi Huai's hand with a wooden spoon just now? !
He stared blankly at Qi Huai, who was obviously also in a daze.
Qi Zhinian wanted to cry, but he hadn't confessed his feelings yet. Did he seem to be about to fail?
Is he crazy?He has never hit anyone like this!How could he be so unmannered!
Qi Huai withdrew his hand, looked and looked, this was indeed the first time someone hit his hand like this, felt... weird?But a little happy?
Since he was a child, he either lived in the palace, or secretly studied martial arts outside. In fact, his time at home was limited. Their family was a noble family, and when they got along with their parents, they would definitely avoid him as a child.
Even though he knew that his parents were deeply affectionate, he had never seen how they got along.
Not to mention the relatives around him, the rich and famous families, how many families are truly affectionate.
On the contrary, the last time he competed with Liang Yifeng, both of them were injured. He still remembered how distressed Liang Yifeng's wife was.After that martial arts competition, he and Liang Yifeng also became friends, this time they went out for more than ten days, they went to discuss some matters with Liang Yifeng, Liang Yifeng's wife personally cooked a table of meals for them.
The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes don't have so many constraints, and he eats with them as husband and wife.
At the dinner table, whenever Liang Yifeng said something wrong, Mrs. Liang insisted on glaring at him. Liang Yifeng persuaded him to drink, but he obviously couldn't drink any more. Mrs. Liang was so angry that she slapped Liang Yifeng's hand with chopsticks, complaining: "Young Master Jiang drinks too little, You are not allowed to drink any more!"
Liang Yifeng withdrew his hand, said not daring, and whispered to Qi Huai: "There is a Hedong lion at home!"
Madam Liang was so angry that she raised her chopsticks and slapped him again.
Liang Yifeng cried out in mourning, but he didn't hide, letting Mrs. Liang's chopsticks fall on him.
He was slightly drunk, and laughed, and smiled, and for some reason, he was a little envious.
At that time, he missed Qi Zhinian very much.
He also thought, Qi Zhinian is still a child and a young gentleman raised in a high school, so he probably won't behave like this again.
Furthermore, he still doesn't know what Qi Zhinian's intentions are.
It's a pity.
didn't expect-
For him, this is a rare surprise.
But seeing that Qi Zhinian seemed to be frightened, he thought for a while, glanced at the whole jar of cherries that Qi Zhinian had almost finished stacking, and suddenly reached out and threw a handful of cherries into the jar.
Qi Zhinian blinked and looked at the beautifully piled cherries in his glazed altar. Because of Qi Huai's troubles, the top floors were completely messed up, and he broke down and said "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".
That's what he worked hard for less than half an hour, and it can be done after just pouring wine! !
It was all ruined by Qi Huai! ! !
Qi Huai actually wanted to throw it in again, Qi Zhinian was so angry that he forgot everything, raised the wooden spoon and slapped Qi Huai's arm.
Qi Huai smiled and backed away, and Qi Zhinian was kicked after catching up.
Looking back at Qi Zhinian's anxious face, Qi Huai smiled more and more happily. If he could live like this for the rest of his life, it would be great.

A certain county king said that the draw was good, not even enough, and he even wanted to go up and draw by himself~

But Qi Huai's whereabouts are really hard to find. He searched for several days, but he couldn't find it. At this time, he was displeased: "This Qi dog, Qi Zhinian studies hard every day. When it's so important, he can be at ease. Leave a little child at home!!"

Zhao Chujin stared at him fiercely: "You know, you are good everywhere, but there is one place where you are not good!"
"My lord, please clarify!"
"You're just too honest and have a great memory! Get lost!"
How dare the guard really get out, Zhao Chujin calmed down after speaking, and turned around in circles thinking how to beat Qi Huai hard.
Zhao Chujin also wanted to provide some help to Jiang Qiniang, but she was afraid that he would live a good life. He would scare them when he appeared, or mistake him for what he was going to do. Apart from giving Jiang Qiniang money, he really couldn't give more.

This is just the beginning, what will the two of them really want in the future, how could she have the face to talk to Jiang Qiniang like this!
She sighed inwardly.
Children, they are all debts!It's all debt!
The eldest princess dared not say a word.
Rather, Jiang Qiniang was flattered, she was already used to being reprimanded by the eldest princess, but the eldest princess didn't say anything about her this time...
They went back to the waterside pavilion, and the eldest princess ate the ice bowl that Qi Zhinian carved out with her own hands. Take the exam well, and then you will be a serious little scholar, but don't be anxious, you will never be able to leave."
"Yes." Qi Zhinian stood up and saluted earnestly, "Remember the teaching of the eldest princess."
"Yeah." The eldest princess wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and after a long moment of embarrassment, she said casually, "This summer's cherries are already in fruit, but I suddenly want to eat them."
Jiang Qiniang immediately said, "Your Highness, I'll send someone out to buy it right away."
"It's not necessary. There is a small cherry grove in my village, and I'm afraid the fruit is already hanging."
Qi Zhinian got up: "Princess, why don't I go for a run on the mountain? I'll be back in more than an hour."
Although it was hot, Jiang Qiniang felt sorry for her son, but the eldest princess owed them such a great favor, and she just went to pick some cherries, so she nodded, "Nian'er, go and come back soon!"
Qi Zhinian bid farewell to the two, and immediately went out with others.
Jiang Qiniang carefully said to the eldest princess: "Just wait for an hour or two and it will be done."
"En." The eldest princess picked up the teacup, covering up the embarrassment on her face.
After Qi Zhinian went out, the guards from the Princess's Palace followed her. Jiang Qiniang lived outside the city, so it was cheaper to go to the mountains. After more than half an hour, they arrived at the gate of the Princess's Zhuangzi.The Zhuangzi of the eldest princess is very big, there are three big ones in Qihuai Zhuangzi. There are peach forests, apricot forests, persimmon forests, ginkgo forests, etc. in the back mountain. The cherry forest is facing west, and there is a small river beside the forest. There are many wild lotus flowers.
The flowering season of the lotus is half a month later. At this time, most of them are flower buds, and a small number of flowers are already in full bloom. It is very wonderful to be shy and timid.
Qi Zhinian jumped out of the carriage, stood by the river admiring the flowers for a while, took a deep breath of the mountain breeze, and then took people to the cherry grove.
Sure enough, they all bear fruit, and the branches are full of bunches of small orange cherries, unique and cute, shaking slightly in the summer wind, like a bell, Qi Zhinian raised his hand unconsciously to pick a bunch, and ate one, it was very sweet. sweet.
The cherries burst when touched and are full of juice.
Qi Zhinian tried several trees, trying to find the sweetest one, but found that every tree was very sweet.
He asked Xiao Wu to bring baskets, and distributed them to Zhuangzi's servants: "Let's pick them quickly, and go back quickly, the eldest princess is waiting to eat, these are sweet!"
Everyone agreed and started picking cherries with baskets in hand.
Qi Zhinian carried the basket and walked to the depths. Someone was picking the ones he had tasted just now, so he had to pick some sweet ones.
He tasted a few more trees and found the taste to be good, so he put the basket on the ground and prepared to pick it himself.
Before he raised his head, a bunch of cherries suddenly hit him on the head, and it didn't hurt to hit the small fruit. Qi Zhinian touched his head, but didn't take it seriously, and bent down to pick up the bunch of cherries, but he As soon as he stood up straight, another bunch of cherries fell, Qi Zhinian was a little displeased, is this some kind of bird against him?
He looked up, but saw Qi Huai leisurely lying on one of the branches among the dense cherry leaves, playing with a bunch of cherries in his hand.
"You, you, you—" Qi Zhinian took a big step forward, his eyes widened, speechless.
Qi Huai smiled and asked him: "Miss me?"
How could you not want to! !Since he was in the palace that day, he hadn't seen each other for more than ten days. He knew that Qi Huai had important plans to plan, so he never dared to disturb him. Moreover, he was also preparing for the exam recently, so he was concentrating and did not dare to be distracted.
After the exam, there was not a day when he didn't think about Qi Huai.
After Qi Huai asked him, and finally saw Qi Huai, he was too excited and nodded vigorously: "I miss you!"
Qi Huai was also taken aback for a moment, never expecting that the usually restrained little guy would admit it so generously.
Qi Zhinian took another step forward: "I really miss you!"
Qi Huai came back to his senses, a smile came out of his heart, he got up and jumped down from the tree.
Before he could stand still, Qi Zhinian rushed over, stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around him, and hugged him tightly.
Just as Qi Huai was about to circle him, Qi Zhinian had already come out of his arms and took a step back. He didn't know whether it was shame or something, his face was red, his eyes were shining, he stared at Qi Huai and said: "My government test is the same. First!!!"
His face was full of waiting for his praise.
Qi Huai laughed out loud and nodded to him: "I know."
Qi Zhinian clenched his fists.
Qi Huai simply stepped forward, hugged him into his arms, and whispered in his ear: "It's really amazing, our young brother is the most powerful in the world."
Qi Zhinian wanted to laugh, but he was afraid that his laugh would be too exaggerated, so he sank his face into Qi Huai's shoulder.
Qi Huai looked down at him and said with a smile, "I'll accompany you to whatever you want to do today."
Only then did Qi Zhinian come back to his senses, and immediately raised his head and said, "No, I still want to give the eldest princess cherries. I'm Princess Fengchang, uh—" Seeing the rare narrow smile on Qi Huai's face, he Some couldn't believe it, "No way..."
Qi Huai nodded again: "As you guessed."
"But how could the eldest princess..." Qi Zhinian was so nervous.
"If not, I don't know when your mother will let him go." Qi Huai said pitifully.
Qi Zhinian laughed out loud.
He rested his head on Qi Huai's shoulder again, he really liked Qi Huai so much.
Qi Huai also likes him, right?Otherwise why?Wanting to see him, even the eldest princess used it.
But I don't know what attitude the eldest princess will have?
Does the eldest princess know this is the reason?
Qi Zhinian was happy, but worried.
Qi Huai pointed to the cherries all over the tree and said: "I heard Madam Ji say that when you were in the Duke's Mansion, you used to make all kinds of fruit stuffing yourself, why don't you also make some cherry stuffing?"
"Okay, okay!" Qi Zhinian nodded vigorously, "It's ready, take it down the mountain and give it to the eldest princess!"
"Then, just do what you say?" Qi Huai's eyes once again showed that kind of youthful flying, and Qi Zhinian really liked it.
Of course he just nodded.
There is a clear stream beside the cherry grove. The guards directly brought the table, and the maids brought the wine and wine jars, and they directly made cherry stuffing in the cherry grove.
It's still the same steps as making plum blossom stuffing, except that plum blossoms are replaced with cherries.
Qi Huai has already seen it once, and remembers it clearly, it can help a lot.
Qi Zhinian picked the tree with the most fruit, and before he took the scissors to pick it, Qi Huai stretched out his hand and shook it, obviously the movement looked elegant, but with great strength, all the cherries fell to the ground in a short time, Qi Huai Zhinian stood under the tree laughing for a while, then bent down to pick it up, he picked it up here, and Qi Huai was in charge of carrying the basket to the stream to wash the cherries.
It is not at all under the guise of other people's hands.
After working with his own hands for more than an hour, Qi Zhinian was finally able to put cherries and rock sugar in the wine jar.
Qi Huai also wanted to help, but after a while he became impatient and threw cherries into the jar.
Qi Zhinian was not happy, he thought it was so ugly.
Qi Huai plausibly said: "This is a completely redundant step, and it does not affect the final taste."
"Why doesn't it affect it? The wine that is stacked in this way will have a sense of hierarchy! I have tried it many times!"
"In the end it melted and mixed with the wine." Qi Huai said, and threw another handful of cherries into the wine jar.
Qi Zhinian was so angry, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
That's fine, Qi Huai unsealed a jar of white wine and helped him pour the wine into the jar, Qi Zhinian became even angrier: "That's the jar where you threw cherries everywhere, I'm going to make it again! Don't pour the wine!"
Qi Huai smiled: "I can drink this altar myself."
"No, no, no!" Qi Zhinian wanted to jump on the spot, he felt that Qi Huai was just making trouble.
If Dr. Huanglian was here, he would know that Qi Zhinian has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Seeing Qi Zhinian jumping up and down in anger, Qi Huai thought it was very interesting, the more he wanted to tease Qi Zhinian, the more he continued to make gestures, which was not helpful.
Qi Zhinian was so angry that he picked up the wooden spoon and knocked on his hand: "Go away! You—"
Qi Huai's hand stopped there, Qi Zhinian was also dumbfounded, he was hitting Qi Huai's hand with a wooden spoon just now? !
He stared blankly at Qi Huai, who was obviously also in a daze.
Qi Zhinian wanted to cry, but he hadn't confessed his feelings yet. Did he seem to be about to fail?
Is he crazy?He has never hit anyone like this!How could he be so unmannered!
Qi Huai withdrew his hand, looked and looked, this was indeed the first time someone hit his hand like this, felt... weird?But a little happy?
Since he was a child, he either lived in the palace, or secretly studied martial arts outside. In fact, his time at home was limited. Their family was a noble family, and when they got along with their parents, they would definitely avoid him as a child.
Even though he knew that his parents were deeply affectionate, he had never seen how they got along.
Not to mention the relatives around him, the rich and famous families, how many families are truly affectionate.
On the contrary, the last time he competed with Liang Yifeng, both of them were injured. He still remembered how distressed Liang Yifeng's wife was.After that martial arts competition, he and Liang Yifeng also became friends, this time they went out for more than ten days, they went to discuss some matters with Liang Yifeng, Liang Yifeng's wife personally cooked a table of meals for them.
The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes don't have so many constraints, and he eats with them as husband and wife.
At the dinner table, whenever Liang Yifeng said something wrong, Mrs. Liang insisted on glaring at him. Liang Yifeng persuaded him to drink, but he obviously couldn't drink any more. Mrs. Liang was so angry that she slapped Liang Yifeng's hand with chopsticks, complaining: "Young Master Jiang drinks too little, You are not allowed to drink any more!"
Liang Yifeng withdrew his hand, said not daring, and whispered to Qi Huai: "There is a Hedong lion at home!"
Madam Liang was so angry that she raised her chopsticks and slapped him again.
Liang Yifeng cried out in mourning, but he didn't hide, letting Mrs. Liang's chopsticks fall on him.
He was slightly drunk, and laughed, and smiled, and for some reason, he was a little envious.
At that time, he missed Qi Zhinian very much.
He also thought, Qi Zhinian is still a child and a young gentleman raised in a high school, so he probably won't behave like this again.
Furthermore, he still doesn't know what Qi Zhinian's intentions are.
It's a pity.
didn't expect-
For him, this is a rare surprise.
But seeing that Qi Zhinian seemed to be frightened, he thought for a while, glanced at the whole jar of cherries that Qi Zhinian had almost finished stacking, and suddenly reached out and threw a handful of cherries into the jar.
Qi Zhinian blinked and looked at the beautifully piled cherries in his glazed altar. Because of Qi Huai's troubles, the top floors were completely messed up, and he broke down and said "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".
That's what he worked hard for less than half an hour, and it can be done after just pouring wine! !
It was all ruined by Qi Huai! ! !
Qi Huai actually wanted to throw it in again, Qi Zhinian was so angry that he forgot everything, raised the wooden spoon and slapped Qi Huai's arm.
Qi Huai smiled and backed away, and Qi Zhinian was kicked after catching up.
Looking back at Qi Zhinian's anxious face, Qi Huai smiled more and more happily. If he could live like this for the rest of his life, it would be great.
