Jiaochu

Chapter 236 What's New

After a while, Ye Lingxi coughed lightly and said, "Does the second brother know?"

"What do you know?" Ye Lingjue said with her eyes closed.

Ye Lingxi: "..., it's about big brother."

"Hmm..." Ye Lingjue hummed for a moment, as if he was thinking about it, and said, "Isn't this bad now? Revealing old things again is just adding salt to people's wounds."

"Second brother should go and tell Prince Murong, don't let him rub salt into people's wounds." After much thought, Ye Lingxi thought that there was only one reason why a person with a weak temper like her eldest brother could raise his fist, and that was her eldest brother. 's biological mother.

Ye Lingjue hummed again, without saying whether to go or not, which was a bit tempting.Ye Lingxi glanced at the brush on the table, then at the person with his eyes closed, and then he picked up a brush and dipped it in some ink. He raised his hand to draw a beard on the face with his eyes closed, and then painted a beard on the face with his eyes closed. She added a few beards on both sides and was thinking about what to draw on her forehead. At this time, the door was lightly knocked twice. She put down her brush and said, "Come in." The waiter came in and asked if he wanted to prepare lunch. After dinner, he asked if there were any taboos, then he closed the door and left.

……

After a while, Ye Lingjue opened his eyes and saw the person sitting behind the desk holding a non-existent flute while reading the music score. He raised his finger and pressed it again. After looking at it for two seconds, he closed it lightly again. There seemed to be a smile in the eyes and corners of the mouth, as if listening to a silent piece of music.

After Ye Lingxi practiced according to the score several times, he closed the book, raised and pressed his fingers gently, and breathed softly to play... He paused for a moment in the middle, and thought about the score, and then continued to play after remembering it.

After playing the song, she repeated the practice twice. She wished she had brought a flute over, but if she played the flute in the room, she would probably disturb the guests in other rooms. After thinking about it, she decided to She gave up the idea and planned to ask her father for the flute when she went back. Maybe her father would pass the ancestral flute on the bottom of the box to her~
After thinking about the beautiful picture of the priceless ancestral flute, which was full of color and fairy spirit, she devoted herself to practicing the next piece of music with more concentration and enthusiasm.

When the door was knocked again, she was able to close the book and play two pieces of music accurately and smoothly. Although she didn't know what the sound was like, at least her gestures were perfect.

The waiter came in with a food box, placed the food and dishes one by one, and then left.

Ye Lingxi looked at the four dishes on the table, and four words automatically came to his mind: clear soup but little water.The soup is light, the tofu and vegetables are light, but the tofu is white and tender, and the vegetables are also very crisp and tender.

"Try to see if this soup tastes good first." Ye Lingjue said, putting two spoons of soup into a bowl and placing it in front of Ye Lingxi. She thought to herself that she wanted to "test the poison" first, so she took a small sip first. My eyes suddenly brightened up. I didn’t expect that the clear and watery appearance of the soup would hide such a rich and rich flavor. I thought to myself that the chef from Linlang Pavilion was invited from nowhere, and he could be the royal chef in the palace~
When she tasted another piece of crispy green vegetables, her eyes lit up again. When she tasted another piece of white and tender tofu, she was surprised to find that the tofu didn't seem to be tofu. It looked like eating meat. There was no meaty smell at all, and it melted in her mouth. , the taste is very delicate.

"If you like to eat, I'll bring you here next time." Ye Lingjue said with a faint smile.

She silently took a mouthful of rice and chewed the rice grains slowly, as if she had no time to talk.

When the waiter came to clear away the dishes, Ye Lingxi asked where the chef in the building was hired from, and the waiter replied that he was hired from Yangzhou.

……

When the sun was about to set, Ye Xingye returned to Linlang Pavilion. As soon as he entered the door, he talked about a new thing: the eldest son Luo and the eldest son Jin had a fight at the banquet hosted by Mrs. Ningyang Hou.

"Third brother, are you going to the banquet too?" Ye Lingxi asked this question first.

Ye Xingye waved his hand and said he didn't go, Hu Yuhan told him.After leaving Linlang Pavilion, he walked around the streets, watched the acrobatic performances, and bought one or two gadgets.At noon, he felt a little hungry, so he went to a nearby restaurant to eat. After he came out, he continued to wander around. When he passed a candy seller's stall, he saw the boss making a candy man. He found it interesting and stopped to watch. After a while, when he was about to leave, he was stopped by someone from behind. Hu Yuhan rode over, wearing regular clothes, as if he had just attended a banquet.

The two sat down at a roadside tea stall, and Hu Yuhan told Ye Xingye about the new incident in detail.

Today, Mrs. Cui, the Marquis of Ningyang, held a banquet. Hu Yuhan came with his mother and second sister. Mr. Luo also came with his mother, Mrs. Dong Pingbo, and his second sister. In addition, Su Shi's mother, Mrs. Gu, came with Su Wan. , Yanfei's second aunt Zhang came with Yanchuchu.Jin Yao has a good relationship with Zhao Ce. Although there are no sisters in the family, his mother also received an invitation from the Hou Mansion and brought him and his eldest brother here.

During the banquet, Mr. Luo secretly left, and Hu Yuhan followed quietly out of curiosity to see what the eldest cousin was doing.Mr. Luo sneaked into a pavilion, as if he was waiting for a tryst with some girl's house, but instead of meeting the girl's house, he met Mr. Jin instead.

The eldest son Jin looked gloomy, stretched out his hand and showed a jade pendant, and asked if it belonged to him. When the eldest son Luo saw the jade pendant, he asked if it was the eldest son Jin who picked it up.On the second day after attending the birthday banquet held by the Prime Minister's Mansion, he found that the jade pendant was missing. He thought it had been left at the Prime Minister Zhou's Mansion, but it was not easy to go to the house to ask, so he left the matter behind within two days. to the back of the head.

"So it's yours?"

"So what if it's mine, who knows if you stole it."

Neither of them spoke politely, and their few words were tense and full of gunpowder.Young Master Luo asked for a jade pendant, but Young Master Jin threw it into the water.Young Master Luo was so angry that he poked Young Master Jin in the back, saying that he had a mother but not a mother. Young Master Luo directly punched him and the two of them struggled together. Young Master Jin was also a ruthless person. He used his deadly force to beat Mr. Luo until he screamed and screamed. It was not until someone came over to break up the fight that the two of them were separated.

Due to such a quarrel between the two of them, the banquet ended early.

"How did that jade pendant get into the hands of Mr. Jin?" Ye Lingxi asked.

Ye Xingye looked in the direction of Ye Lingjue, as if he was embarrassed to say it, for fear of being blamed by his second brother.

"Did the second brother give it to you?" Ye Lingxi asked.

Seeing that the little imperial sister had misunderstood, Ye Xingye quickly waved his hand and said: "It's not from the second brother, it's from Mr. Luo..." He paused hesitantly, glanced at his second brother again, and had an idea, and asked the little imperial sister to give it to him tomorrow. I asked Hu Yuhan when I was in school.

After saying these words, the sun had already set when the three of them came out of the room.
