The pet career of Shaoqing of Dali Temple

Chapter 229
Qing Moyan brought Ru Xiaonan back to Qinghou Mansion the next day.

Compared with the busy scene in the mansion, Qing Moyan's courtyard seemed much quieter.

Qing Moyan stayed in the study all day, writing and drawing, Ru Xiaonan was extremely boring, but luckily Shi Datian was there, and he would tell her what happened in the house from time to time.

"There is a banquet in the house?" Ru Xiaonan asked curiously, since the Chinese New Year is coming soon, everyone is busy, what kind of banquet is being held at this time.

"Master Hou wanted to invite more people over so that my aunt could see each other." Shi Datian said with a chuckle, "The second young master took over the errand, but he was so busy that he couldn't even find the north. The cost of the house is already tight. Master Hou I don't even want to pay for a first-class banquet, so let the second young master pay for it himself."

"This is too stingy." Ru Xiaonan sighed.

"Who says it's not? I went to see the things in the kitchen. The fish is not fresh. Miss Ru, don't eat fish on the day of the banquet. The stinky fish smell covers up... and the meat..."

The two huddled together and muttered, criticizing Lord Hou for being stingy, Ru Xiaonan laughed out loud from time to time.

Qing Moyan's voice suddenly sounded from the window above his head, "Aren't you planning to talk in another place?"

Blatantly speaking ill of his father under Qing Moyan's window, even if Qing Moyan didn't care, it was still good to say.

Ru Xiaonan sticks out her tongue again and again, and drags Shi Datian to hide in another place to talk in desperation.

Qing Moyan sighed helplessly looking at the two thieves.

In the past, most of the expenses of the Hou Mansion came from him, so it was easy to run a high-end restaurant, but since Qing Moyan locked her big treasury, the old Hou can no longer get a penny from him Come, so I set my mind on my second son.

Not enough money?
I'm sorry, he only pays the money, if it's not enough, you can find your own way, anyway, Nianshi has a lot of dowry, and spending a few hundred taels can't eat her poorly.

On the day of the banquet, there were quite a few guests in the mansion, but they were all male guests, not even a female family member. As a result, my aunt and Qin Miaoqiu had no choice but to hide in the small flower hall.

"What's all this?" The aunt was full of displeasure.

Finally, there was a chance to bring her daughter to show up. Unexpectedly, the guests who came were all men, and they couldn't even show their faces, so they could only watch secretly in the dark.

Qin Miaoqiu saw that her mother was impatient, but she had no other choice but to accompany her quietly in the flower hall and listen to the movement outside.

The second young master was very busy, Qin Tianyu helped him a lot, but those guests didn't recognize him, so the second young master kept introducing his cousin to others, and after an hour, his tired throat was smoky .

When it was time to start the banquet, the scene was even more chaotic.

The steamed fish from the kitchen was terribly salty, the meat in the roast pork tenderloin of Fuzi melon was so fat that it was so oily, the egg skin of the bergamot golden roll was broken, and even the spicy tofu was broken.

The guests looked at the table and looked at each other, the wine in the jar seemed to be mixed with water.

Old Hou Ye kept talking with the guests, with a smile on his face, but his complexion was pale.

Only Qin Tianyu was quite at ease, taking the opportunity to get acquainted with others.

The atmosphere during the banquet became more and more weird. In the end, even the voice of chatting was lowered. People looked at the table full of dishes with chopsticks but didn't know where to put the chopsticks.

The second young master's face flushed red.

He really tried his best.

For today's dinner, he forced Nian to take out 400 taels of silver, but even so, because he had never taken over such a thing before, he was tricked behind his back, resulting in terrible poor dishes.

The old Hou Ye finally couldn't stand it anymore, and ordered the stewards around him, "Go and invite the son over."

The manager left, and Qing Moyan was really invited here after a while.

When everyone saw Qing Moyan sitting at the table, the atmosphere recovered a bit, and many people stood up and tried to talk to him.

Qing Moyan sat for less than half an hour before leaving the table.

Everyone's eyes turned to Old Hou Ye and Second Young Master again.

Qin Tianyu saw some clues, and leaned up to the second young master and said, "What's wrong, my son, even if he was cold-faced, he would take care of the family affairs for uncle in the past. Could it be that there is some unpleasantness?"

After hearing this, the second young master could only smile wryly, and he couldn't say anything else.

Ru Xiaonan thought that Qing Moyan was going out to socialize and would not come back until evening, so she asked someone to prepare lunch and steamed egg custard.

The custard dripped with sesame oil smelled delicious, but it was too hot. Ever since she became a feline, she couldn't eat hot food, so she moved to the bowl and could only turn around to smell the fragrance, not daring to eat.

Suddenly a hand stretched out from overhead and took the bowl away.

Ru Xiaonan was in a hurry and jumped up to grab it.

"Be honest." Qing Moyan pushed her back.

"Why are you back?" Ru Xiaonan wondered.

"What, are you afraid that I will steal your food?" Qing Moyan brought the bowl to the window, and let the custard cool down after a while.

"Didn't you go to the table in front, didn't you eat anything?" Ru Xiaonan took the small bowl from him.

Qing Moyan sneered, "Even Shi Datian doesn't like that kind of noodles, I will eat them?"

Ru Xiaonan giggled, dug a piece of custard with a spoon and fed it to his mouth, "How about I try this."

"Children's food." Qing Moyan said disdainfully, but he ate several bites in a row, and in the end he ate more than half of the small bowl of custard.

Ru Xiaonan was so distressed that she carefully scraped the bottom of the bowl with a spoon.

Qing Moyan's heart almost melted when she saw it, "If you want to eat, just ask the small kitchen to make it. It's not like I'm reluctant to part with a few eggs."

The two of them were talking, when Xuanyu said outside: "My lord, the steward of the mansion has come again, saying that Lord Hou invites you to come over."

Ru Xiaonan raised her head and said strangely: "Going to go?" It seems that Lord Hou is very dissatisfied with Qing Moyan's withdrawal.

Qing Moyan sat without even moving.

Ru Xiaonan looked helplessly at Xuanyu at the door, Xuanyu saw that Qing Mo's face didn't move, he had no choice but to go out and talk to the steward.

The steward returned to the front table and spoke back to Lord Hou, who was annoyed at that time.

In front of so many guests, Qing Moyan didn't give him any face.

"Please again." Master Hou said angrily, "If he doesn't come, you can ask him if he still regards me as his father, and if he still has this family in his eyes!"

The steward didn't dare to be negligent, so he trotted all the way to Qing Moyan's place, and said the words exactly.

Ru Xiaonan saw that Qing Moyan's face gradually darkened.

If it was said that the father and son had negotiated in private before, this time they were directly brought to the table by Master Hou.

If Qing Moyan didn't show his face, he would be regarded as disrespectful by everyone, and the old Hou Ye would gain the upper hand.

Qing Moyan stood up and walked out without saying a word.

Ru Xiaonan's heart was pounding, Qing Moyan had always been hostile to Master Hou because of his biological mother, especially what she heard from the former maid beside his mother in the small village that night, she knew that one day , Qing Moyan will tear faces with Lord Hou.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly found Shi Datian and whispered something to him.

Shi Datian nodded confidently, followed Qing Moyan, and went quietly.
