Genius Concubine Daughter: Lord, I will not marry

399 Holding the Hand 18 The streets of Xudu are as prosperous as ever, with towering buildings in the southeast, silk and satin, gorgeous clothes and belts everywhere, this is the place where the rich love to come.

But the streets and alleys in the northwest of Xudu are the world of ordinary people.

There are no fancy storefronts here, no expensive consumer goods, and there are just more people here than on the east side.

Xing'er followed Chu Qiyue to the northwest area, where there were small stalls and small business people everywhere, with noisy voices and mixed fish and dragons.

"Miss, let's go back."

Xing'er tugged on Chu Qiyue's sleeve and groaned.

First, there is no target here, and second, there are too many people and it is dangerous.

Chu Qiyue dragged her straight to a small stall, and boldly slapped a piece of silver on the table: "Two bowls of Yangchun noodles!"

Xing'er stared straight at the noodle shop, which was only ten square meters in size. Three large round tables were placed outside the shed, crowded together, and filled with people.

"Okay." The boss took the money and pointed casually, "Girl, go and squeeze."

Xing'er's face immediately changed color.

Not to mention that the three tables were full of people, most of them were middle-aged men, some were even shirtless, and they put on their clothes only when they saw them coming.

She roughly counted that there were twelve or thirteen people crowded on each table, and there was a large bowl in front of each person, filled with steaming Yangchun noodles.

After Chu Qiyue took a glance, she saw that five or six people were about to finish eating, so she walked towards them.

Xing'er tightly grasped the back of her skirt, watching these people devouring the noodles in the bowl, she was very disturbed.

"Miss, let's go."

Chu Qiyue looked at her disappointedly: "It's not easy to come out and lie down, and I'm so hungry, I can't wait."

Xing'er was dumbfounded, she had no choice but to stand with her.

The few people finished eating quickly, and brought the bowls into the shed by themselves, and the boss quickly brought over two bowls of Yangchun noodles.

"Please slow down, sir."

Chu Qiyue quickly pulled Xing'er to sit down, took a large spoonful of chili oil from a pot on the table, poured it on her face, and poured a little on Xing'er's face.

Xing'er was also hungry, she came here anyway, and didn't care about anything else, she picked up the chopsticks and took a sip, her eyes suddenly opened round.

"How about it, is it delicious?"

Chu Qiyue asked with a smile.

"It's delicious." Xing'er replied excitedly, without further words, and even took a spoonful of chili oil by herself.

On the second floor of a small inn opposite, two pairs of eyes stared blankly down.

"Why do they eat so deliciously?"

Xiao Tong asked A Bing puzzledly.

The dark guard had already reported Chu Qiyue's whereabouts to him.

He didn't want to ask more about her, but he was worried that it was Chu Qiyue who came out to find the target, so he followed.

He never expected that Chu Qiyue would eat at such a dilapidated noodle stall.

"Poor? Not sure."

After Xiao Tong murmured, he swallowed.

Well, after Chu Luhe picked up a dumpling for him, he lost his appetite, but he was still not full for breakfast.

"My lord, just ask some hidden guards to keep an eye on it. You haven't had your breakfast yet, why don't you go back to the restaurant."

A Bing kindly reminded.

Xiao Tong shook his head, pointed at the noodle shop and said, "I want to eat a bowl too."

"What?" A Bing was stunned.

Although the young master is away in business, he often tastes folk snacks, but those are very famous, but this noodle restaurant is not well-known, and it is so dilapidated, it looks like it is for the poor, how can the young master go there?

But he couldn't stop Xiao Tong, Xiao Tong had already gone down.

So, when Chu Qiyue was sweating from eating, she saw a man in bright red sitting beside her with a smile.

"Two bowls of Yangchun noodles."

The languid tone is insouciant.

Xiao Tong motioned for A Bing to sit down too.

"Is it delicious?" He asked Chu Qiyue.

Chu Qiyue stuck out her tongue so hotly that she stared at him silently, her cheeks flushed.

When Xiao Tong saw her like this, for some reason, his heart sank in an instant, feeling soft.

"My lord, my lord is romantic!" Xing'er was tongue-tied.

Xiao Tong looked at her with a smile and nodded.

Xing'er stood up excitedly, touched her body, but found nothing, her eyes welled up in desperation.

Chu Qiyue really wanted to knock her forehead twice, it was too embarrassing for her.

"what happened?"

Xiao Tong asked puzzledly.

"I want you to sign my name."

Xing'er said in a low voice.

Xiao Tong was stunned: "Signature?"

Xing'er tugged at Chu Qiyue's sleeve.

Chu Qiyue frowned, and finished eating the noodles in the bowl in twos and twos. Instead of answering immediately, she held the bowl with both hands and drank the noodle soup clean.

"Miss!" Xing'er turned pale with shock.

It doesn't matter how the lady eats, and she won't show her fox tail when eating with the master and wife, so why don't you care about a little bit of money now!

Xing'er hated and was ashamed, her feet were so anxious that they stomped through the ground.

Xiao Tong was also surprised, his eyes were complicated, but he never looked down, and even felt a slight twitch in his heart.

After drinking the noodle soup, Chu Qiyue took out a handkerchief and wiped her red lips, stuck out her tongue, got up and said, "Xing'er, what are you in a hurry for? He will soon be your eldest son-in-law, don't talk about signing, what do you want?" It’s easy to say anything.”

Then he bent his eyes and said to Xiao Tong: "Young Master Tong, I won't disturb your noodles."

After speaking, he walked away lightly.

Xing'er was so shocked, she looked at Xiao Tong foolishly, and repeated in her mouth: "Eldest uncle, eldest uncle..."

Xiao Tong's handsome face was as dark as a pot.

Watching Chu Qiyue's master and servant leave, he didn't make a sound until the boss served the noodles. He slowly scooped up a spoonful of chili oil, poured it on like Chu Qiyue did just now, and took a sip.

A Bing ignored the scrutinizing gazes around him, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, is it delicious?"

Xiao Tong's face gradually turned back, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, showing a charming smile, and his voice was dull: "I feel... so sour."

"Sour?" A Bing picked up the chopsticks and took a bite in doubt, wondering where it was sour, it was obviously spicy!

***

Xing'er followed Chu Qiyue back to Qian's Mansion in despair, still speculating about the relationship between Xiao Tong and Chu Luhe.

As soon as the door opened, the young lady's indifferent voice sounded: "You are here."

Xing'er raised her head suddenly, but was surprised to see a thin old man standing inside the room.

Just about to shout, Chu Qiyue covered her mouth.

The old man nodded, with shrewdness on his thin face.

Myolie calmed down, struggled to get away from Chu Qiyue, and called out in a low voice, "Housekeeper."

"Go out." Chu Qiyue gave Xing'er a wink, meaning to let her watch at the door.

Xing'er walked out obediently.

Butler Chu said with a smile: "The two patriarchs really saw the right person. Miss Seven is the one who hides it. With such a good skill, this task will be successfully completed."

Chu Qiyue didn't have time to listen to his nonsense, so she asked directly: "Grandpa asked you to come, as long as you are brought to Chengfu?"

"Exactly." Butler Chu replied calmly.

Chu Qiyue said lightly: "Master Cheng's master bedroom is not easy to enter."

"That's why Miss Seven was asked to cooperate with the old slave."

Chu Qiyue raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Why not the eldest sister or the second sister? They have more experience than me, and they are more familiar with the Cheng family than I am."

Butler Chu explained: "The chief patriarch said that the first and second families should not know about this matter. Seventh Miss acts low-key and can keep a secret."

"Okay, let me think of a way."

Chu Qiyue sat down on the chair and stopped talking.

Butler Chu opened the rear window and jumped out.

After sitting for a long time, Chu Qiyue sneered.

Grandpa asked her to cooperate with Butler Chu to steal a landscape painting from Chengfu, which was painted by Su Shaotang, a court painter of Luoxing Kingdom, in Luoxing 832 before the Three Kingdoms were divided.

In that year, he only made this painting, which was priceless.

Before coming to Xudu, the two grandfathers found her and specially assigned her this task, and asked her not to disclose it to anyone.

The letter from her father was to urge her to act, and to threaten her mother.

This is what Chu Qiyue hates the most.

Knowing this secret is definitely not a good thing!

Otherwise, how could it be hidden from so many people?

When the time comes, she has really completed this task, shouldn't she go underground with this secret on her back?

Heh, Grandpa chose her for a good reason, it's hidden.

Tonight, let's explore Cheng Mansion again.

That night Chu Qiyue went to Cheng's mansion again, and Cheng and Yi slept in their bedroom at night, so the guards in the main room were very strict at night.

To safely sneak into the bedroom and look for the painting, it is best during the day.

But she is not Chu Luhe, if she wants to go to Chengfu, she must at least have a decent reason!
