Chen Hutu returned to Jixiang Lane in the evening.

Qin Lang is the only one tonight. Gu Xiefei took Wang Houting to Xieyue Street and probably won't come back tonight.

Qin Lang greeted, "Brother Chen, are you drinking?"

Chen Hutu nodded.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Qin Lang said: "You just left today, Mrs. Chen and Sister Ling are here."

Chen Hutu glanced at Qin Lang. His identity was no longer a secret. He put down the wine bowl he had finished drinking.

Qin Lang filled him with wine.

"If it causes you trouble, I can leave."

Qin Lang smiled and said, "There is no trouble. Ling Zun has always taken great care of me, and Ling Mei and I are friends."

"Just a friend?" Chen Hutu's sudden rebellious question made Qin Lang stunned.

Chen Hutu took a big sip of wine and said, "As soon as the palace gate enters, Qin Lang is a passerby from now on!"

This is embarrassing. No matter how thick Qin Lang is, he can't help but feel a little hot. Even if he and Chen Weiyu are not lovers, they are definitely not ordinary friends. I just didn't expect that Chen Weiyu would tell her brother the secret between them, which was a bit embarrassing.

Chen Hutu said, "The reason why I came to you as soon as I came back is to see what kind of person Wei Yu admires?"

"It disappoints you."

Chen Hutu placed the empty bowl on the table, shook his head and said, "It's not a disappointment. No matter how outstanding you are, Wei Yu will not choose you. She can clearly distinguish which one is more important. She has had his own opinions since childhood and is more rational than me, the eldest brother."

Qin Lang picked up the wine bowl and toasted him.

Chen Hutu did not clink with him, and then raised his neck and finished the bowl of wine: "I thought Wei Yu needed someone to save her, but now I know that she is the only one who can save her."

Qin Lang silently finished the bowl of wine and silently savored the meaning of his words.

This time it was Chen Hutu who poured wine for him.

Qin Lang said: "She is soft on the outside and hard on the inside, and calm down when encountering things. You don't have to worry about her."

"I just feel disappointed. Why didn't my parents stop her? Power and status are really that important?" Chen Hutu's eyes flashed with excitement.

Qin Lang felt that Chen Hutu seemed to have misunderstood Chen Qiunian in this regard. Although he did not know Chen Qiunian very thoroughly, he always felt that Chen Qiunian was not a villain who was interested in the power and sold his daughter to seek prosperity.

Qin Lang said: "This is her own choice."

"Who dares to bully Wei Yu is my irreconcilable enemy!" He stared at Qin Lang with his eyes.

Qin Lang coughed dryly and said, "Did Brother Chen tell me?"

"Including you, too."

Qin Lang said slyly: "Actually, I think so too."

Chen Hutu said: "If I could choose, I would rather bully her, you, or at least fight with you in a hearty battle." Facing the fate of her sister marrying into the deep palace, Chen Hutu was powerless. What a sorrow it was.

Qin Lang was a little flattered, which can be understood as Chen Hutu’s high recognition of himself. Although he had not known Chen Hutu for a long time, he was very close to each other. Qin Lang said: "Will Brother Chen stay in Yongdu in the future?"

Chen Hutu shook his head: "I will leave after Wei Yu's wedding."

Although Qin Lang was very curious about why Chen Hutu and his family were in such a state of trouble, after all, it was not convenient to ask questions.

Chen Hutu said, "I heard that when the Demon Suppression Department was destroyed, you were at the scene? Then Feng Jiuzhong really escaped?"

Qin Lang nodded and thought to himself, is Chen Hutu and Feng Jiuzhong having an affair? Then he thought that it was impossible. Feng Jiuzhong was detained under the Demon-Suppressing Tower for twenty years, and Chen Hutu was only twenty-six years old this year, which means that Feng Jiuzhong was arrested when he was six years old.

"Brother Chen has seen Feng Jiuzhong?"

"No!" Chen Hutu felt a stinging pain in his heart.

"You and Wei Yu may really be just friends."

Qin Lang looked at Chen Hutu curiously, for some reason why he suddenly said such words.

Chen Hutu's eyes were a little blurred: "If I really love someone, how could I let go so easily?" He shook his head and whispered: "Maybe I'm too persistent!"

Chen Qiongnian looked at the flying snow outside the window and was speechless. The fragrant tea in the celadon tea cup in his hand had already become cold, and the burning in the incense burner had also turned into ashes, but he was unaware of it.

The silkworm will not stop until it dies, and the candle will not stop drying when it turns into ashes.

How many children can truly understand the painstaking efforts of their parents?

It is a good thing for his daughter to get married, but for him it means that when he is separated, his son has a family and he will not return to his hometown. Who can tell the pain in his heart?

Chen Qiongnian refused his wife's request to invite him to Tiance Mansion, because he didn't know how to face his son who had been away from home for five years. He knew better that the marriage in the father and son had not yet been untied, and his daughter's marriage would probably make the gap between them and their father and son deeper.

The door was gently knocked, but it was his daughter Chen Weiyu who brought him a midnight snack.

Chen Qiongnian observed it in detail, and at first glance he could see his daughter's swollen eyes. He guessed that she had cried. Although he had not gone to Tiance Mansion, his daughter's whereabouts were all within his control. She was empty. Did she cry because of this? Chen Qiongnian quickly denied this possibility. His daughter was not suitable for going out before the wedding. Before, he guessed his daughter's intention to go to Tiance Mansion.

Nothing better than a father knows a daughter. If you know her daughter’s purpose, it is naturally not difficult to guess who her tears are shed for.

"Dad, I haven't seen my elder brother."

Chen Qiongnian smiled and said, "Since he is back, you will definitely be able to see him."

"Dad, how can the father and son have an overnight revenge? Even if there is any unhappiness after five years, what else can't be let go after so long?"

Chen Qiongnian got up and came to the window, put his hands behind him, and whispered: "Wei Yu, it's not that I can't let go, but that he can't let go!"

"What happened back then? Why did the eldest brother run away from home suddenly?"

Chen Qiongnian was silent for a while before saying, "Because a snake demon named Feng Chujun is Feng Jiuzhong's sister, and she wants to rescue Feng Jiuzhong from under the demon-suppressing tower, she approaches and seduces the tiger disciples." This was the first time he told this secret that had been buried in his heart for five years.

Chen Weiyu looked at her father in shock. Her father was the devil-suppressing department and was in charge of the demon-suppressing department. She took it as her mission to suppress the monsters that chaotic the world. However, the eldest brother had a relationship with the snake demon. This was obviously something that her father could not tolerate. She felt an ominous feeling. Feng Jiuzhong escaped from the demon-suppressing tower three months ago. In other words, Feng Chujun's plan to rescue Feng Jiuzhong through his eldest brother failed.

Chen Qiongnian said: "The tiger disciple was confused by her. If I hadn't discovered it in time, it might have fallen under her control."

"Where is Feng Chujun now?"

Chen Qiongnian was silent again, and Chen Weiyu felt an indescribable sense of suffocation. The north wind was howling outside the window and the snow was falling.

"Dead!"

Chen Weiyu's hands and feet were cold, and she had already understood the whole story from these two words.

After Qin Lang thought about it, he still didn't go to the Chen family to join in the fun. Although Chen Qiunian sent him a wedding invitation, he might not really want him to go. If Chen Weiyu saw him, he would be more sad. Why bother with a happy day? In fact, he was not optimistic about Chen Weiyu's marriage. The little emperor was just a fool and didn't understand men and women at all. Even if he understood, his health would not have the conditions.

Chen Weiyu was destined to be a widow when entering the palace. Is it lucky or unfortunate for her?

Qin Lang asked Wang Houting to go to Chen's mansion to send a gift. The emperor's wedding was so many times more likely than the day he and Long Xixi got married.

Qin Lang took advantage of everyone's attention to this wedding and went to Dabaoen Temple again. Master Yichan still had not returned, and this time he returned in vain.

Returning to Jinyuan alone, it was the ninth day that Long Xixi left. If everything goes well, he will come back in the next two days. Because Long Xixi drove away all the servants sent by Jiang Konghou, Jinyuan was empty.

Leaping up to the roof of the small building, looking up at the direction of the imperial city, you can see that the wedding team is heading towards the Chen Mansion. From today on, there is an empress in Dayong's harem. After Chen Weiyu entered the palace, I don't know what Xiao Zirong would treat her. Qin Lang was not too worried about this. With Chen Weiyu's wisdom, he should be able to adapt to the life of the palace quickly.

I don’t know if it was because of the wedding or the empress dowager’s confinement, but I have never seen the White Jade Palace appear in the past few days, and the Tiance Mansion has been temporarily put on hold due to the chaos in the White Jade Palace.

"Qin Lang, why don't you go to the wedding banquet? What should you do when you climb to the roof?" But it was Lu Buyao standing in Babu Academy separated by a wall and found Qin Lang on the roof.

Qin Lang smiled and said, "Lu Xiang!" He jumped down from the roof and opened the small door. Lu Buyao had already walked over there. Qin Lang felt strange that he was just an inconspicuous little character and was not going to participate in this emperor's wedding. But Lu Buyao was the former prime minister after all, and now he is the Duke of the Great Yong'an Kingdom and the third generation of imperial teachers. In addition, he is also Chen Qiunian's mentor. No matter from that aspect, he should go to watch the ceremony.

Lu Buyao also received Chen Qiongnian's wedding invitation, but the royal family did not send him an invitation, so he chose to avoid it. At his age, he had a lot of reasons to search for it casually. In fact, the real reason in his heart was that he was ashamed of Chen Weiyu, and he always felt that he had sent the child into the fire pit.

When the two heard that neither of them had received the invitation from the royal family, they couldn't help laughing at the same time. Qin Lang casually said, "They are both people who are in the world, why do you have to know each other when they meet?" It amazed the old prime minister.

Qin Lang realized that he had recently developed a habit of showing off his poetry and prose, and he had to change it later. He accidentally became a poet and an idol in the literary world. How many young literary women would have come up like moths to the fire? It was really a bit troublesome to think about it.

Qin Lang asked Lu Buyao to go to the tea room to have tea. Because there was no one living there for a few days, there was no charcoal fire, and the tea room was a little cold.

Qin Lang lit a brazier, and Lu Buyao ignited the red mud tea stove by himself. After boiling the water, he added the purple tea he brought. This was given to him by the old man from Chunxue Teahouse. Although there was no iron kettle to brew, the tea can be made with boiling water and has a unique flavor.

Qin Lang said: "I heard that Lu Xiang is compiling the "Eight Domains Tongjian", but I don't know how it is going?"

Lu Buyao sipped the tea ceremony: "It's still under preparation, and the staff has not been found yet. What? Are you interested?"

Qin Lang smiled and said, "I am a little ignorant and knowledgeable, so I dare not join in the fun."

Lu Buyao laughed and said, "If you are talented and knowledgeable, there are not many people who dare to claim to be talented in the world."

Qin Lang secretly felt ashamed. If he hadn't recited so many ancient poems in the past, he wouldn't have the right to sit together with a great master like Lu Buyao and talk about everything.

"The Eight Academies recruit talents from all over the world, and it is not difficult for Lu Xiang to find suitable talents."

Lu Buyao sighed and said, "Although there are many talents, most of the students entering these eight academies are for fame and fortune. Compiling historical books is boring. Who is willing to waste your great youth on such things?"

Qin Lang suddenly remembered Zhao Changqing. Zhao Changqing often expressed his desire to ask Lu Buyao for advice, and he was not very interested in entering the officialdom. With Zhao Changqing's personality, he was not suitable for intrigue and deceitful court struggles. Qin Lang took the opportunity to recommend Zhao Changqing to Lu Buyao.

Lu Buyao had an impression of Zhao Changqing and agreed to let Zhao Changqing come over and give it a try. He currently lacks a young and down-to-earth assistant.

Lu Buyao asked about the little emperor's studies.

Qin Lang said the truth: "I will not hide it from the fact that my younger brother has limited abilities. I am afraid that Your Majesty will not achieve anything. I can only teach him to be happy, but I really can't teach him how to learn."

Lu Buyao also taught the little emperor, knowing what kind of materials he was, but it was not limited by Qin Lang's ability. If anyone had no one, it would have been impossible to teach the little emperor well. Lu Buyao felt extremely guilty. If it weren't for his efforts, this stupid boy would not have had the chance to ascend the throne.

If we put aside the dispute between him and Sang Jingtian, we would join hands to elect a wise heir, even King Liang would be much better than Long Shixing. At least King Liang was a normal child.

Lu Buyao said: "Being an emperor cannot only be happy, but must be sympathetic to the sufferings of the people."

Qin Lang said: "I dare to ask, "Lu Xiang mentioned the story of the eldest princess in Chunxue Teahouse that day."

Lu Buyao nodded and said, "No, I heard that the eldest princess is back."

Qin Lang said: "Not only did she come back, she also went to Tiance Mansion and said that the Empress Dowager appointed her as the general of Tiance Mansion."

"You are very familiar with the eldest princess?" Lu Buyao said with a certain sense of asking.

Qin Lang nodded and said, "I'm not hiding it from the fact that Lu Xiang is a friend in times of distress, I was the one who escorted her all the way to Jiuyou Sect."

Lu Buyao said: "The relationship is naturally very unusual."

Qin Lang said: "Don't get me wrong with Lu Xiang."

Lu Buyao smiled and said, "I haven't even said what kind of relationship it is. How do you know I'll misunderstand?"

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Qin Lang initially knew that Lu Buyao felt that this person was unattainable, but after real contact, he found that Lu Buyao was approachable. Perhaps he had just suffered a severe blow in his career, so this change happened.
