Gao Yan and several young masters came to Gongsun Yu to say that there were fat crabs in his house and they came here specially to eat them.
Gongsun Yu naturally entertained him generously. When the steamed big crabs came, everyone used small spoons to pour some vinegar on the crabs, and then ate all the crab roe and crab paste on the crabs.
Qi'er used scissors to cut the crab legs into three pieces, and the tip of the last crab leg could be used as a tool. First use the thin end of the crab toe to poke out the meat from the middle section of the crab leg, and then use the thick end of the crab toe to poke out the meat from the front section of the crab leg.
Everyone was a little envious when they saw Qi'er serving Gongsun Yu so thoughtfully.
Gao Yan was surprised and asked, "I didn't expect Qi'er to be good at eating crabs. Gongsun Yu, you are so lucky." He was a bit jealous.
Li Qin said, "Gongsun Mansion still has a good reputation. Good places like Songlin Garden and Beihu Bay have been given to Gongsun Mansion. Who doesn't know that Beihu Bay has the richest fish, shrimps and crabs, and the farmland is also fertile. All such good crabs have been taken away. We entered Gongsun Mansion, we came here specially to eat fat crabs, and we were not disappointed."
Gao Zhan said, "No wonder the best crabs in my house are much worse than this. It turns out that they were all taken over by Gongsun's house."
Gongsun Yu heard that they were doing it on purpose, "I only get some crabs from Beiwan Lake. There are many beautiful crabs in other places. Don't call me overbearing if you want to come and eat."
Lou Xiping sneered, "I heard that Gongsun Yu stayed away all night a few days ago? Such things are rare?"
"What's so weird about being out there?"
"Is something wrong? Haha, is there a new person in Quanxiang Tower? Haha" After saying that, he laughed wildly. "I also heard that you, a little beggar, especially like the people who give you Quanxiang Pavilion? Haha..."
Gongsun Yu was still eating ginger almond soup with an expressionless expression, and looked at Lou Xiping coldly.
Qi'er thought about the embarrassing things she had done and wanted to scold Lou Xiping, "It was me who was ignorant last time, and our Mr. Yu didn't know at all."
"I didn't expect everyone to be so concerned about my private life? Not only did they know that Qi'er had found a girl from Quanxiang Pavilion for me, but he didn't return it for one night and made such a big deal about it? Is General Lou so considerate?"
Lou Xiping smiled evilly, "I often go to Quanxiang Pavilion. Mr. Yu, if you like it, I can explain it to you one by one."
Qi'er said angrily, "General Lou likes the girls from Quanxiang Pavilion so much. How can our young master compete with you? Let you marry them back."
Lou Xiping naturally knew that Qi'er was mocking him. He had always disliked her, so hearing these words was even more harsh. The teacup in his hand was thrown towards Qi'er. Gongsun Yu quickly caught the teacup with quick eyes and hands. The water in the cup gradually came out and burned Gongsun Yu's hand.
Qi'er's heart ached when she saw it, and she hurriedly wet the towel and applied it to Gongsun Yu. Luan Yue hurriedly went to get the burn medicine.
Gao Yan saw that Gongsun Yu was irritated and scolded Lou Xiping for speaking too much.
Aunt Lou Xiping is the mother of Gao Yan and Gao Zhan, the current Empress Dowager Lou, but she has a close relationship with Gao Yan. Although Lou Xiping was angry, he did not refute. Fortunately, thanks to Gao Yan's mediation, the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
Qi'er was also very angry when she saw Lou Xiping looking at her domineeringly. If Gongsun Yu hadn't caught the tea cup just now and threw it with Lou Xiping's strength, she would have been embarrassed even if she didn't die. She knew that eating crabs is taboo and drinking strong tea. So Qi'er was uneasy and kind-hearted, and made a pot of good tea for Lou Xiping, pouring water frequently to admit his mistake.
Seeing Qi'er's sincere attitude, Lou Xiping finally felt comfortable.
Gao Yan and Gongsun Yu told him that Yang Min's birthday was in two days, and the emperor asked him to celebrate his birthday on his behalf. Gongsun Yu happened to go to celebrate his birthday on behalf of his father. The two of them discussed birthday celebrations together.
Gao Yan saw Qi'er pouting angrily at Lou Xiping and thought it was a bit cute, so he deliberately said, "The prime minister is celebrating his birthday. I and Gongsun Yu are both going. I heard that you love fun. Let's go together?"
Qi'er is pouring water for Lou Xiping. Thinking about what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I still have lingering fears, and I was shocked, "I don't know how to behave in such a grand occasion, so I won't go."
Gongsun Yu knew that Qi'er always loved to be lively, but with her nervous words and expression just now, he didn't know why she refused. But it feels like you are deliberately hiding something? Thinking of the last time Luan Yue checked on her, would Qi'er have something to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion?
In order to clear up his own doubts, he said, "Since King Changshan said so, you can go together. When the time comes, just don't go inside and stay outside with Luan Yue."
Qi'er had no choice but to agree on his face.
Qi'er thought about the moment when Gongsun Yu blocked the cup for her, and when she thought about the hot tea gradually falling into his hand, she felt a little distressed. I don't want to owe a favor, but what can I do to make up for it?
Suddenly it occurred to me that Gongsun Yu liked the lotus flowers at the door of Yi'anju. Now that the lotus flowers have failed, Mr. Yu didn't even look at them. He thought of the small fish he said he liked that day. He might as well catch a few fish and put them in the tank, or look at those few plants. What’s so good about flowers that have failed to bloom?
Qi'er still felt that she was doing the right thing, but she didn't expect that when Gongsun Yu found out, he was so angry that he vomited blood.
Luan Yue hurriedly fished out the fish. Gongsun Yu thought that maybe Qi'er liked small fish, so he put it in his tank, or maybe he wanted to appreciate it more for himself, so he said to Luan Yue lightly, "Forget it, put it in it." Bar."
Luan Yue felt as if Gongsun Yu had changed his gender when he met Qi'er.
As the emperor, it was not appropriate to congratulate Yang Min on his birthday, so he sent the Sixth Emperor's Uncle Changshan King Gao Yan to go on his behalf. Yang Min didn't like Gao Yan at first, but his new emperor's visit was a matter of officialdom, so he naturally welcomed him warmly.
There was a distance between Gongsun's Mansion and Yang Min's Mansion. As a follower, Qi'er could only walk beside the carriage. Gongsun Yu saw her sighing and said calmly, "Get in the car."
Qi'er wanted to shirk it and said, "Why don't I get in the car?"
Gongsun Yu still said coldly, "Get in the car."
Qi'er originally wanted to shirk, but when she saw that Gongsun Yu had already lowered the car curtain, she knew that if she shied away, she would have to walk alone. He knew the distance was not close, so he said by the way, "Young Master Yu has given orders, how dare I disobey him." After saying that, he quickly climbed into the car.
Gongsun Yu saw that she was trying to shirk just now, fearing that his kindness would not be appreciated. After hearing Dao Qi'er's answer, he secretly laughed that she shouldn't be so polite.
Gongsun Yu went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to congratulate him, and Yang Min naturally went out to greet him. While the two were talking, Yang Min was shocked to see Qi'er next to Gongsun Yu. Although Yang Min was not a womanizer, Qi'er's appearance really shocked him.
Yang Min stared at Qi'er intently, with some doubts in her heart, but since she was behind Gongsun Yu, she naturally knew that he was a member of the family and it was inconvenient for her to ask in detail.
Then Mrs. Gao, Yang Min's wife, was also shocked when she saw Qi'er. She also stared at Qi'er carefully in surprise, and seemed to have the same doubts as Yang Min.
If a man looks at a beautiful woman for appreciation, isn't it strange for a woman to look at another woman with such surprise? Gongsun Yu and Gao Yan also looked at Qi'er suspiciously.
When Qi'er came, he was mentally prepared, but he didn't know anyone here. However, seeing the surprise of Yang Min and his wife, Gongsun Yu and Gao Yan also had some doubts at the same time. Fortunately, Qi'er had been prepared and faced no trouble.
Seeing that Qi'er's clothes were not ordinary maid clothes, Mrs. Gao asked, "How familiar is this girl? I don't know her name?"
Qi'er politely replied, "Back to Madam, the little girl's surname is Qian and her given name is Qi Qi. She is a translator in Gongsun's mansion. She has never been to your mansion."
Mrs. Gao looked at her with powerful eyes and she was in Gongsun Yu's house. Maybe they just looked alike? Drop your suspicions.
Because Qi'er and Luan Yue were outside the house, people who came and went from the Prime Minister's Mansion were a little surprised to see Qi'er. They kept looking at her and even whispered to her.
Qi'er was still expressionless and calm, Luan Yue was next to Qi'er, and the reaction of the Prime Minister's man also made Luan Yue look at Qi'er in confusion.
In the hall, Gongsun Yu also saw the way the family looked at Qi'er. He thought that Qi'er was usually carefree and informal, but her etiquette was very thorough when she changed into women's clothes. At that time, Gongsun Yu was confused.
Gongsun Yuhe and Gao Yan took a walk after dinner and left the table together.
Gongsun Yu and Gao Yan were walking in the side corridor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Qi'er Luan Yue and Gao Yan's attendants were walking behind.
Gao Yan asked Qi'er out of curiosity, "Are the people in the prime minister's house very interested in you today?"
"Of course, people always bring attendants with them when they go out, but our young master brings a woman with him. It's so different, so of course I'm interested."
Lou Xiping is usually found everywhere Gao Yan is present, why didn't he come this time? Gongsun Yu was a little curious, "Just now, King Changshan said that General Lou was ill after returning from Gongsun Mansion?"
Qi'er couldn't help but chuckle to herself when she heard this. Gao Yan glanced at Qi'er and thought of her frequently pouring water for Lou Xiping that day. He also saw her snickering and knew that Qi'er must know the reason and he liked this naughty girl even more. "I heard that I had frequent diarrhea when I returned home. Fortunately, the doctor prescribed medicine in time, otherwise I would have collapsed."
Gongsun Yu also noticed Qi'er's snickering just now, and knew that Qi'er poured tea that day on purpose.
Gao Yan said to Gongsun Yu, "The wine in the Prime Minister's Mansion is too strong and not as fragrant and sweet as the honeyed dew from Gongsun's Mansion."
Gongsun Yu had already seen that Gao Yan liked Qi'er. Although Baihualu was good, Gao Yan was obviously a drunkard who didn't care about drinking.
Gongsun Yu said, "Although Baihua Dew is elegant, it is not mellow enough. We Xianbei people especially like the richness and richness of spirits."
"Where do we have a kind of wine called cocktail that tastes delicious and can also be added with fruit and ice cubes. It is also suitable for girls to drink." Qi'er said.
Gongsun Yu and others were naturally surprised when they heard Qi'er's explanation, because they had never heard of the wine Qi'er mentioned.
Gao Yan was surprised and asked, "You are so knowledgeable about wine, how can you drink?"
"No, I don't know how to drink." Qi'er immediately knew that he had talked too much.
"Then where did you get what you just said?" Gao Yan asked curiously.
"I just heard about it. If King Changshan is interested, he can let our young master study it."
After listening to Qi'er's explanation just now, Gao Yan absolutely believed that she knew how to drink, but a girl likes to drink? It was indeed novel, and she didn’t even tell her or ask questions.
