For a moment, the room felt as if a jar of jealousy had been overturned, and he was sour when he spoke.
Qi Cheng's face was a little dark, and he looked at the people who were talking coldly and got angry: "I think you don't want anyone to control you and make progress."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is what I mean. Everyone knows that Mr. Cao loves A Qing. It is difficult for others to get this love. If you are envious, just say so. The grown man's sour words can be heard from eight hundred miles away. Smell it.”
The faces of those people changed. The one who didn't speak saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Okay, okay, we are all friends, but we just joked a little bit, why did we get angry?"
"Brother Fu is gone, why are you talking about him? He might get a headache or thorn in his buttocks when he goes back. How can we be so free? Come on, let's have a drink."
Qi Cheng sneered and put down the cup with a bang: "Drink!"
I'm so angry!
He stood up, kicked the table leg, and walked outside with a dark face.
There were several people in the room who were smiling and had ugly expressions on their faces.
…
After Fu Laiqing left the restaurant, he couldn't help but sigh.
Most of the people who were drinking together just now were people who had played together before, but Fu Laiqing could clearly feel that there was a "gap" between them and him.
Ever since he entered the court, this kind of estrangement suddenly appeared. Even if they met each other on weekdays, they still talked and laughed, and the relationship between them seemed to be the same as before. He had never looked down on anyone because of his change in status, but he was a good friend in the past. But his friends still treat him differently.
Even if they are joking, they are a little more scrupulous, and even sometimes some temptations are mixed into the conversation, testing him, testing uncles and grandfathers and the Cao family, and even some matters in the court. Although most of them do not do it very obviously, but Fu Laiqing, who has experienced "cruel" advice from his uncle and grandfather, can still feel it.
This happened again and again, and Fu Laiqing no longer wanted to interact with them. If it weren't for Qi Cheng, he wouldn't have come here at all.
"Aqing!"
Just as he thought of Qi Cheng, his voice came from behind.
Fu Laiqing turned around and saw Qi Cheng running towards this side quickly.
"Why did you come out too?" Fu Laiqing was confused.
Qi Cheng sneered: "If I don't come out, will I still be left and be killed by them?"
Seeing Fu Laiqing looking at him, he pursed his lips and apologized: "I'm sorry, I just thought they wanted to come out to have a party, and they hadn't had a drink together for a long time, so I called you over, but I didn't expect them to actually This is your virtue, if I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have asked you to come.”
It was originally meant to distract people, but it ended up making people angry.
Seeing his angry look, Fu Laiqing said, "It has nothing to do with you. It's my uncle who offended people in the court. There are always a few who can't find trouble with him, so they just want to make me cause trouble."
The relationship between the Cao family and the Fu family is a bit delicate. If his uncle and grandfather were so kind to him, the Cao family would have been dissatisfied for a long time. Fortunately, several cousins, uncles and brothers were very good to him. He never cared about this, but people outside always wanted to use this matter to sow discord between him and the Cao family.
Qi Cheng frowned: "You mean they did it on purpose?"
"Whether it's intentional or just out of jealousy, he doesn't mean well anyway."
Qi Cheng's face turned darker when he heard this: "Those bastards, let's see if I don't beat them to death!"
Fu Laiqing stopped Qi Cheng who wanted to go back and pulled him back: "What are you doing? Everyone is in the capital, and their parents are almost all members of the court. They can't see you when you look up. If you really move your hands and tear your face apart, It’s not necessary, just keep less contact in the future.”
Qi Cheng had a good relationship with Fu Laiqing, and he cursed a few times.
Fu Laiqing took his arm and walked forward: "Okay, this is not the first time. I'm not even angry. Why are you so angry?"
Qi Cheng glared at him: "I'm sorry for you!"
Fu Laiqing laughed out loud: "Yes, yes, thank you Mr. Qi Dalang, but tonight is the Chinese Valentine's Day, and seeing blood is unlucky."
Qi Cheng: "...when did you become so good-tempered?"
He and Fu Laiqing grew up together, and Fu Laiqing's temper was not much better than his. If it had been like today, Fu Laiqing would have scolded those bastards from beginning to end even if he didn't take action.
Fu Laiqing thought for a while after hearing this: "Maybe, you will gain wisdom from every hardship?"
"Ah?" Qi Cheng was confused.
Fu Laiqing smiled. After entering the court, he suffered a lot. Even after his uncle and grandfather scolded him a few times, he still gained some brains. What's more, he couldn't forget that after he was plotted by Song Jinxiu, the little peacock of the Qian family was How did you look at him? At that time, he said that he was helping Song Jinxiu clear his name. Although he didn't scold him openly, his eyes just pointed at his nose and said he was stupid.
He couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of the little lady of the Qian family who was speechless at that time. He raised his head and glanced at her from the corner of his eye and suddenly stopped.
Qi Cheng was still thinking about asking, but he turned around and saw Fu Laiqing staring blankly not far away. He looked over there, and after a moment he let out a soft sigh: "Why are they?"
Fu Laiqing turned around: "Who?"
"Girl from the Qian family."
"Do you know him?" Fu Laiqing narrowed his eyes slightly.
"How can we not know each other?" Qi Cheng looked at Qian Qiyue and was speechless: "Qian Baokun's daughter, the daughter of the Qian family, she even fought with me when she was a child, and by the way, there is also that Yiyang County The Lord is Taifu Rong’s granddaughter.”
"She was as cold as a little calf and knocked me down. Qian Qiyue followed her and fired secret arrows. The two of them almost scratched me to death for a crab lantern."
Fu Laiqing was stunned: "What did you say?"
Qi Cheng said: "You don't believe it? That Qian Qiyue had bad legs and feet when she was a child. She looked pitiful, but that Song Tangning was very fierce."
Seeing that Fu Laiqing didn't believe it, he glared: "I lied to you, I'm my grandson. I hurt my face during the Lantern Festival and hid at home for three months before I recovered. My father said that I fought with a little girl and lost. They didn't take revenge on me, so I went to look for them secretly after I came out, but they disappeared."
I heard that Qian Qiyue was sent back to Lingnan by the Qian family to treat her leg, and Song Tangning was left in Taifu Rong's mansion and rarely went out. Later, before he could "revenge", his father was ordered to go to the south to guard the border. He also went with him. It had been several years since his father came back, so the incident when he was a child was naturally settled.
Qi Cheng looked at the extremely gorgeous girl over there and said: "My mother helped me propose marriage some time ago, and she was attracted to the girl from the Qian family. I secretly took a look at her. She was a little different from when I was a child, but her facial features were still the same. You can definitely see the way she tickled me when she was little, but she is just prettier than she was when she was little.”
Fu Laiqing was shocked that Tang Ning, who was so gentle, could fight with others when she was a child, and wondered why she and Qian Qiyue looked so unfamiliar before since they had known each other for a long time.
But after hearing this, he suddenly raised his head: "You want to marry the Qian family?"
