Chapter 631
The two, one in front and the other behind, each had their own thoughts on going back to the house.

Since Xin Yi's arrival, this mansion has been rearranged, especially with the handwriting of the second generation of Fu. The ancient courtyard created by the fusion of two modern people's ideas is different from other houses.

Cao Yi walked past the water pavilion that has been renamed "Xianyu Pavilion" with a heavy heart. Looking at the stone benches and chessboards in the courtyard and the green willows on the verandah, it seemed that his breath was filled with fragrance. , the whole courtyard is so warm and intoxicating.

Fu Jiuqu turned his head and saw Cao Yi's eyes, his brows slightly raised.

The pain he had suffered at the beginning was finally tasted by others.

Cao Yi lowered his eyes, regretting that he came here out of a fit of anger and suffered from the pain of thousands of arrows piercing his heart.

·
Xin Yi is afraid of the cold, and the season has just arrived in late autumn, and a heater has been put on in the house.

There is a small dining room in Tianshui Pavilion, which is close to the kitchen, which is convenient for the family to eat.

The dining hall is simply decorated, with melons and fruits on the table, exuding the fragrance of the food, and a sense of happiness rushes to the face.

Fu Jiuqu led Cao Yi in. Xin Yi was coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron, followed by Xiang Ling, who held a steamer in his hand. The two were chatting and laughing, discussing the dish of crab stuffed oranges. Is it crab stuffed? Oranges, or oranges stuffed with crabs...

She looked up suddenly and saw Cao Yi sitting in a wheelchair, she was slightly startled.

The person came suddenly, and she had no time to clean up her emotions, her embarrassment was so straightforwardly revealed in front of the two men.

Fu Jiuqu's face was cloudy and uncertain, "Just now I was discussing official business with the envoy, and I didn't realize that it was time for dinner. I heard that Madam is serving dinner, so I invited you here."

He wanted to ask for the grace of a "magnanimous husband" in front of Eleven. Unexpectedly, when Xin Yi heard that the embarrassment was brought back by him on his own initiative, he gave him a malicious smile without saying a word.

"Then why are you still standing in a daze, quickly invite Mr. Envoy to the dining hall to take a seat?"

Cao Yi raised his sleeves and cupped his hands, "Excuse me. I wonder if the princess of the county has prepared an extra meal for Cao?"

These words were purely to make Fu Jiuqu sour.

Xin Yi turned his head to glance at the man, and said with a smile:
"The food is enough. If Mr. Cao is late to discuss business affairs, feel free to come over for a meal. I have a chef in my family, and I will take care of feeding your stomach."

Cao Yi smiled warmly, "Then Cao has a thick skin and often comes to disturb each other."

Xin Yi hurriedly let people into the dining room.

Because Cao Yi was sitting in a wheelchair, she hurriedly asked Xiang Ling to move the chair.The chair was heavy, and Xiang Ling was a slender girl, she couldn't move it, she didn't even ask the guards to come, she just rolled up her sleeve and moved it away.

Fu Jiuqu: ...

He was so sore that his teeth fell down, and he had to fight back his jealousy to stop him.

"Are you all dead people? How can you trouble the princess of the county to do it yourself?"

Xin Yi stepped aside, "Master Cao, please take a seat."

Cao Yi returned the salute gently, and Song Hua hurriedly pushed his wheelchair to the edge of the table.

Fu Jiuqu's eyes twitched slightly, and he looked at Cao Yi.

Xin Yi didn't seem to see the expressions of the two men, and smiled and called the girl to pass the dishes.

The three little ones had just finished school and came over in a noisy manner.

Because of poor homework, the second thought has already disconnected from the first thought.Now Er Nian and San Nian have become a gentleman, San Nian is very excited, and Er Nian hangs his head listening to Yi Nian's reprimand.

Xin Yi stood at the door and waved at them.

"Quick, what are you blots on?"

When the child reached the door, she patted Er Nian's head again.

"If you can't learn well, you can't learn well. Don't say that we are second-guessing. We are outstanding in martial arts, and we are still talents. You guys, don't talk about studying anymore. Go to the table for dinner, the table of adults!"

Er Nian is a straight person, once she heard that she was not angry, she immediately winked at Yi Nian happily.

Yi Nian sighed secretly, and went forward to salute Fu Jiuqu and Cao Yi in a proper manner.

Seeing this, San Nian and Er Nian followed suit.

"Please Fu Shuan, please Mr. Cao."

Cao Yi ignored their courtesy and looked at the three children with gentle smiles.

"They've grown their heads. Well, good boy."

Xin Yi couldn't stand the complicated etiquette of the ancients, so he laughed and said, "Quit the greetings, let's go to the table. Mr. Cao is not an outsider, you don't have to restrain yourself, just eat with your stomach open."

Fu Jiuqu: ...

Master Cao is no longer an outsider.

Xin Yi glanced at him and signaled with his eyes: Your senior brother.

Fu Jiuqu coughed lightly, and sat upright, "Let's all go to the table, let's serve dinner."

In this dining hall, he is the head of the family, with a serious look, and the children are more or less restrained, thanking each of them before they dare to hold the chopsticks.

A table of six people, five ancient people, eating very quietly.

Xin Yi looked straight.

Is this comparing who is the standard model for eating?
Xin Yi put a crab-stuffed orange on Fu Jiuqu's plate, "Try it. This is a new dish that Xiangling and I made. It has the effect of diet therapy for dispelling stasis, reducing swelling, and sore waist and knees.”

Hearing the pain in the waist and knees, Fu Jiuqu's face was a little strange.

Listening again to dissipating silt and reducing swelling, sharpening limbs and joints, I feel even more uncomfortable.

Why does it sound like this dish was prepared for Cao Yi's injury?
"Master Cao is also edible." Xin Yi didn't pick up vegetables for Cao Yi, but said politely: "Crabs are cold in nature, which is not good for the spleen and stomach, but if you put them in the stuffed oranges and steam them, there is no need to be taboo..."

Cao Yi smiled: "Okay. I'll try it."

He agreed, but because the wheelchair under him was a little shorter and the dish was opposite him, the attendant Song Hua retreated at the door, so he couldn't pick up the dish when he stretched out his hand.

His arms dangled in mid-air, awkwardly.

Xin Yi got up quickly, picked up the steamer made of crabs and oranges, and moved towards him.

"Snapped!"

The elbow was turned by someone, and the crab stuffed orange on the chopsticks fell on the table, and even the bowl in front of him was overturned, and fell to the ground with a bang, shattered into pieces.

The girls hurried over to help.

Those who set the bowl set the bowl, and those who hold the chopsticks take the chopsticks.

Xin Yi looked at the water-splattered desktop, and looked sideways at the perpetrator.

Fu Jiuqu looked at her calmly, "Orange stuffed with crab...the taste is very weird. I accidentally noticed it, but it was startled..."

"Isn't it delicious? Then serve it in front of Mr. Cao." Xin Yi smiled lightly, motioned for Xiangling to change the position of the dish, and then greeted Cao Yi, "Mr. Cao, don't laugh, our family is used to it. , you must not be restrained, just say what you want to eat if you can't reach it."

Cao Yi smiled, "I'm causing you trouble."

"No, no." Xin Yi said and called Xiang Ling again, "Go and prepare vegetables for Mr. Cao."

The crab stuffed orange was taken away, and Xiao Shiyi's expression was not good. Fu Jiuqu felt more and more glaring at Cao Yi, and the meal was awkward.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yi found a breakthrough——

If you don't want to do what I want, I will go to your house for dinner.

Ever since, from that day on, Cao Yi would show up on time at every meal time, leaving the Yangzhou government officials with infinite reverie, which made Fu Jiuqu very annoyed.

The matter of eating crabs stuffed with oranges that day, after returning to the room, Xin Yi had already slapped him coldly, saying that he had a small stomach and chicken intestines, and looked like a jealous husband. wild countryman.

After scolding people, Eleven was very angry for a while, saying that he had lost face to her and made people see it as a joke.

If it wasn't for his thick skin, he would have been sent to the next room to sleep.

Now that Cao Yi is troubling him like this, it is just poking his spine.

It's okay to refuse once, but it seems that he doesn't know how to be polite when he refuses again and again.

Fu Jiuqu smiled from the bottom of his heart, looking at Cao Huanqi in the wheelchair, wishing he could be killed.

"Tell me, how can you refuse to come to my house for dinner?"

Cao Yi was surprised, "Your junior brother didn't welcome me? What you said earlier were all lies?"

Fu Jiuqu snorted, "Stop pretending. Tell me your purpose."

Cao Yi: "Escort Gao Minglou back to Beijing."

Fu Jiuqu: "Don't even think about it!"

Cao Yi pondered for a moment, then bowed to him with a restrained look, "I have been in Yangzhou for a while, and I have accomplished nothing. It's just that the official's side is not easy to explain. How many pairs of eyes are staring at me in the court..."

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyes, "So what? You invited yourself here, so you should have been prepared."

Cao Yi sighed: "It's probably because of you that I did this."

"Don't!" Fu Jiuqu interrupted him, snorting coldly, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I never thought about resisting the decree, and it's not impossible for Gao Minglou to be taken away, but definitely not now."

After coming for so long, Cao Yi heard soft words from his mouth for the first time, and his tense heartstrings were slightly loosened.

"You give me a letter of approval."

Fu Jiuqu glanced at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there were two clusters of cold light at the bottom of his eyes: "When I find out the truth of the case, I will make my own decision. Before that, I will explain to the officials."

Isn't saying the same as not saying it?
Cao Yi shook his head, "Why are you so stubborn? What secrets are hidden in Gao Minglou that you must investigate thoroughly at the risk of the wrath of the emperor?"

Fu Jiuqu didn't say a word.

After a pause, Cao Yi lowered his voice and asked, "Before leaving Beijing, some rumors spread in Beijing, saying that you were involved in a batch of Southern Tang treasures, and that you might have something to do with the Southern Tang Li family. Is it true?"

Fu Jiuqu glanced at him and smiled faintly.

"You have to be interested, just wait for the truth to come out."

"Heavy building!"

Facing this stubborn stone man, Cao Yi hated it, couldn't get angry, and just didn't know how to persuade him, when Yi Chuan's hurried figure appeared beside the waterside pavilion not far away.

The two looked at each other without saying much.

Yi Chuan approached, saw Cao Yi was there, hesitated for a moment, and only spoke after getting a signal from Fu Jiuqu.

"Gao Minglou wants to see the princess of the county, otherwise he will fight with a hunger strike..."
