Brocade clothing

Chapter 248
In less than half a month, it will be the Chinese New Year. This period is the busiest time for all officials. The upper peak needs to find a way to give gifts, and the people below need to give them gifts and give them back. In addition, they have to prepare various annual gifts. Even the upper and lower levels of the government office were full of lively scenes, and the master's face was full of joy for several days in a row.

Maybe it's Chinese New Year, or it's because of the deterrence brought by the human skin case in the Southern Kingdom, or because he was frightened by Prince Wu Qing's Ling Chi for three days and three nights. These days, the government office is very idle, and Chu Qing is happy Free, just go to the study to read when you have nothing to do.

Because of the human skin case, Chu Qing became very famous in the capital, and she was obviously a member of Uncle Liu Guo, so many officials wanted to curry favor with her, and some of them went directly to the mansion, so Chu Qing simply waited until evening. When they went back, some simply went to the government office, so Chu Qing went to the study, one was to be free, and the other was to hide from people.

Three days before the new year, Chu Qing had already prepared all the presents, because her colleagues didn't catch the opportunity to give presents, so Chu Qing didn't have to return the presents, she only prepared a few, Li Tianxiao's, Yu Zhufeng's , Junhao, Langfeng, people from Fuya, Hongyu and Zhongxuan couple, other gifts were all ready, but when it came to Li Tianxiao, Chu Qing hadn't thought about what to give.

If the gift is too expensive, she can't afford it, but if the gift is too cheap like last time, although she has the intention, she can't give it again, so Chu Qing simply chose an inkstone and spent a lot of money on it. Her half-month salary is coming to an end, but she doesn't know whether to give it or not.After all, she had seen the Four Treasures of the Study in the Imperial Study Room, and each of them was a treasure. Chu Qing felt that she couldn't get her inkstone of a few taels of silver.

Obviously, what she gave Yu Kufeng was a fan, and she could handle it, so why is it like this when it comes to Li Tianxiao's place?
When Chu Qing walked into the study, because she came here often during this period, the owner of the study also knew her, but although people in the capital knew that there was such a female prisoner, not many people had seen her, so the owner of the study did not know her. After recognizing it, let her go in and read by herself.

Chu Qing chose a few books on the shelf, and then planned to sit down at her usual place, but when she got there, she saw that there was already a person sitting there. The person in front of him, Chu Qing's footsteps stopped instantly, and he looked at the other party with his mouth and eyes wide open, very surprised.

Li Tianxiao seemed to have heard the movement. He was flipping through a book when the sunlight leaking in through the window just happened to shine on him. It was as if his whole body was bathed in sunlight. His originally stern face softened a lot. He raised his eyes. When he looked over, it was probably rare to see Chu Qing showing such a surprised expression, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raised, softening his phoenix eyes, his gaze was extraordinarily gentle: "Why?"

Chu Qing hugged the book tightly, because of the other party's smile, her heart started beating violently, she barely pursed her lips, hummed, and when she approached, she whispered: "My lord, why are you here?" ?”

Li Tianxiao lowered his eyes: "You should call me Big Brother Li, I'm really not used to it."

Chu Qing watched him casually put the scroll on the tea table beside him. It was obviously a random movement, and the movement was smooth and flowing. She didn't feel it before, but now, she felt inexplicably beautiful, like a small hammer hitting her heart. Her expression became more rigid, but fortunately she returned to normal quickly. She was afraid of arguing about titles and revealing her emotions even more, so she simply said kindly: "Brother Li, why are you here?"

Li Tianxiao said: "Yu Er wanted to treat us to dinner, so he went to the government office first, and the people in the government office said you came here, so they came here, but you walked slowly enough, we all came here for a cup of tea." .”

Chu Qing touched his nose: "I walked here..." She would not admit that it was because she was thinking about whether to give him the inkstone, so she walked like a snail, from the government office to here an hour.But... "Why did Mr. Yu invite us to eat?" Chu Qing was curious, and couldn't help but look at Li Tianxiao more, knowing that he shouldn't, but couldn't help but wonder whether the other party really wanted to eat, or was it just for a special purpose? came here?

Just waiting for a person to come out from a shelf not far away, Chu Qing didn't know whether he was relieved or disappointed, holding a book in his hand, Yu Kuifeng looked surprised: "I didn't expect to be here In the small study, I can find the original calligraphy of the predecessors, and I will give it to my father when I go back... Hey, Xiao Chu, are you here? Come and help me identify it, is this authentic?"

Chu Qing waited for Yu Gufeng to come over, then shook her head and said, "I'm not good at calligraphy, let the emperor...let Brother Li take a look at it for you."

Yu Kufeng was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked over to Li Tianxiao: "Master, help me to see if it's the real work?" The old man is about to drive him crazy, how old is he, the emperor is not in a hurry to get married, why did he rush him?The old man likes authentic calligraphy. Giving this to him may make me free for a few days.

Li Tianxiao didn't even look at it: "No."

"Eh? Really, Master knew it without even looking at it?" He finally found it, how could it be a fake?

Chu Qing was also taken aback, but immediately understood what Li Tianxiao meant. It was probably an imitation without looking at it. After all, in this small study, whoever put the original works in this study blatantly for people to read, not only that, but also to borrow them.If it was authentic, I'm afraid it would have been confessed long ago.

Yu Kuifeng couldn't help flipping through it a few more times, after thinking about it, he suddenly laughed and closed the book: "I bought it!" After that, he went directly to pay the boss.

Chu Qing didn't understand: "What's going on, Mr. Yu?"

Li Tianxiao stood up, glanced at the category of the book in her hand, took two steps closer, tilted his head and approached in a low voice: "Take it back to the Prime Minister."

Chu Qing originally wanted to back away because of his actions, but just thought about it, and stood still with lowered eyes. Hearing what he said, she couldn't help but raised her head in surprise: "It's all okay? He's not afraid that Xiangye will find out directly Did you beat him up?"

"No, when the time comes, he will directly tell the authentic work and spend a lot of money. Mrs. Xiangye loves her son, and she will definitely not be willing to let him be sad, so she will persuade him. Then he will be able to rely on this to get a few days' worth of money." Freedom." After Li Tianxiao finished speaking, he straightened up automatically and moved away a little.

Li Tianxiao's distance made Chu Qing breathe out the breath that had been tightly held all this time, and she couldn't help tightening her grip on a few books, she turned around and said, "So that's the case, then I'll write it down first. "

Sometimes Chu Qing would go back and read the endless books, and got acquainted with the boss of the study, so they finished it quickly.

Because staying in the same space with Li Tianxiao earlier made Chu Qing's thoughts not very sensitive, she didn't dare to stay in it anymore, so she had to stand outside the study with those books in her arms, waiting for the two of them.

After Yu Kuifeng settled the bill, he walked behind Li Tianxiao and smiled: "It seems that Junhao's method is quite effective, so we need to make progress gradually. Just now, when I saw Chu Qing blushing, I always feel that Miss Chu It’s not that you’re not interested in Grandpa, are you?” Unless he was really wrong.

Li Tianxiao was thoughtful: "Yes."

"Master, do you want to be so indifferent, how can you marry like this... Ahem, this subordinate is wrong, master, you can do whatever you want." Yu Zhufeng met Li Tianxiao's gloomy eyes, and quickly shut his mouth.

When Chu Qing heard footsteps behind her, she turned around to look, and when she saw the two of them, she asked again what she had said earlier: "Is this a special day today? Why did Mr. Yu and Brother Li come out specially?" dinner?"

Li Tianxiao glanced at Yu Gufeng, who coughed lowly and said, "That's right, isn't it the Chinese New Year... General Chi also came back from the frontier, that is, I just invited a few more people to get together when I was free. Get together."

Chu Qing looked at his flushed face, thought of Jun Hao's words that he overheard before, and was stunned for a moment, then a smile flashed in his eyes: "So that's it, then who are you inviting, Mr. Yu? Are you late?" girl?"

Yu Gufeng couldn't hear the ridicule in Chu Qing's words, if it wasn't for the emperor to find a reason to spend more time with Chu Qing, he would have invited Jiaojiao to swim the lake alone, he just wanted to tease Chu Qing a few words, but thought Because of the low pressure of the cold war with Chu Qing, the emperor slowly swallowed the words that came to his lips, and coughed softly: "...Yes."

Chu Qing completely believed that it wasn't Li Tianxiao who came to see her alone. While she was relieved, she couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart. This conflicting feeling disturbed her Xinhu, making her She was at a loss, but she had to force herself to calm down. Only in this way could she move forward step by step without taking a wrong step.

It's just that when they were outside Yipinzhai, Chu Qing suddenly thought of something, stopped and stopped, which made both Yu Chufeng and Li Tianxiao stunned, Li Tianxiao waved his hand and let Yu Chufeng go up first , and then walked with Chu Qing: "What's the matter? Don't want to go?"

"It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I didn't think about it just now. When I just walked to the door, I remembered that General Chi's lieutenant Zeng Gousheng had a little bit of trouble with me. If he was there, if there was a fight, let Young Master Yu and Miss Chi is not good-looking." When dealing with the case of the Xiao family earlier, because Xiao Haocheng's nineteenth aunt, Zeng Gousheng's younger sister, committed suicide, Zeng Gousheng once wanted to kill herself to avenge her sister, and she still has to deal with it. The memory is still fresh, although it will be resolved later, it is hard to guarantee that Zeng Gousheng still regards himself as an enemy now, if he goes over here again, won't he be creating trouble for others?
After thinking about it, Chu Qing felt that she still didn't want to go: "Brother Li, I remembered that there is still something to do in the government office, so I won't eat this meal. I will treat you alone some other day." But the moment she turned around, Li Tianxiao gave her a call. Holding the arm, Chu Qing's body froze suddenly.
