Chapter 112
After all, the carriage could not go straight to the inner courtyard.
After Qiao Yu got off the car in the outer courtyard, he changed to the regular sedan chair in the mansion. The four tired bearers straightened up instantly as if they had taken a powerful pill after seeing him. The road is smooth and stable, and the people sitting in it can hardly feel the shaking.
It's just that the speed is a little slow. The bearers carried it for a quarter of an hour to walk a cup of tea.
Those who have been dawdling can no longer dawdle, after all the journey is not infinitely long, and we have arrived at Ruihetang, where the old lady lived.
After getting off the sedan chair, the bearers watched the beauty come out of the sedan chair reluctantly, even the back view was so elegant like a fairy, worthy of the blood of the Hou family!No, even the most prestigious young masters and ladies in the Hou's mansion are far inferior to the beauty who came here to look back.
Watching the chief steward lead the beauty to the main hall of Ruihe Hall, the bearers wanted to throw the chief steward so that they could take over the task of leading the beauty.
Too bad it's just delusional.
After being dazed for a while, the four porters came back to their senses one by one, looked at each other and sighed, and then carried the empty sedan chair back to the sedan chair corridor.
The few people with complicated moods didn't notice that the weight of the sedan chair hadn't changed—as if the beauty just lifted was just an illusion.
Ruihetang.
The servants who were banned by orders in the past have lost their sense of propriety today, either this one sprinkled the dew with great difficulty, or that one dropped the food box that was holding it, and the dried melon seeds and fruits were scattered all over the ground.
Manager Chen did not give orders as usual, instead he gently asked the servants to clean up the mess.
No one thought it was unusual. After all, everyone wanted to make a good impression in front of that almost fairy-like beauty. Some people's previous ideas of helping their young masters and young ladies to find out the situation in advance were all gone. Inappropriate place.
After the beauty drifted away, the awakened Qionghua was the first to react. She packed up the melon seeds, ran all the way to the small kitchen to exchange for the freshest melon seeds and fresh cut fruits, and then quickly ran back to Ruihe At the entrance of the main hall of the hall, the manager is still waiting at the entrance. There are female relatives inside, so it is not convenient for him to enter.
After Qionghua took a deep breath, she entered with a plate in her arms naturally.
At this time, the beauty with infinite elegance had just greeted the old lady, and hadn't had time to sit down yet.
From the corner of her eyes, Qionghua glanced at the two staring, tongue-tied young ladies in the main hall and the young master who had been silent for a long time with half a dried fruit in his mouth, and turned a blind eye.
As a popular maidservant in front of the old matriarch, Qionghua forgot about secretly communicating with the princess and finding a way out when she first saw the beauty. She was full of one thing: I want to help the old matriarch. Take good care of the beauties who came alone to visit their relatives!
She was the first to break the silence of the hall, and while putting carefully selected snacks on the table, she led the beauty to sit on the chair closest to the old lady, a little far away from the other young masters and ladies.
"Master, sit down quickly, the old lady misses you!"
The cheerful voice seemed to be a signal, and suddenly, the whole hall became cheerful.
The old lady excitedly asked about Qiao Yu's recent experience, and the attendants took turns to refill tea and change water. Even Bai Qingting and sisters, who were still speculating just now, forgot about Bai Qingyuan, who used to be a benchmark, and were full of desire to meet the new beauty. Brother knows a thing or two.
"Brother, you have suffered! I will take good care of you in the future."
The eight-year-old Bai Qingtao spoke in a very old-fashioned tone at a young age, holding Qiao Yu's hand solemnly, even though that hand was as cold as ice, he was reluctant to let it go, grinning to comfort the beauty in poor health elder brother.
"Then thank you, Mr. Xiaolang."
Qiao Yu smiled lightly and pulled out her hand. Children are very powerful, and their perception of ghosts is more sensitive than that of adults. Others feel that their skin is slightly cold, but in the perception of children, it is colder than the extreme ice on the bottom of the sea. In short, It can't be the temperature of normal people.
But Bai Qingtao didn't realize it, and just laughed dizzily, thinking foolishly: Brother beauty smiled at me!
"And me! I will also take good care of my brother."
Bai Qingting, who was fascinated by the beauty, also yelled, and the shy Bai Qingyuan also made a shy voice, and the hall was full of joy and harmony.
Amidst the laughter, the old lady decided to have a banquet in three days, announce Qiao Yu's identity and enter it in the family tree.
This news soon reached the ears of other adult young masters in the Hou Mansion, including Bai Qingyuan who married into the East Palace also heard about it.
"The old lady is confused!"
The oldest Bai Qingyuan sighed, didn't this throw the face of the princess on the ground!It's enough to tell the family in private, at most, there will be more care in the future, maybe the princess will make up for it.
What's the use of hosting a banquet for Qiao Yu with great fanfare and announcing that the real grandson has returned home?Isn't this the same as slapping the crown princess in public, reminding him of his fake identity?
"Yes, the old lady is really confused."
Bai Qingyuan was also very dissatisfied in a jabbering manner: "Brother Qingyuan is so good, why is the old matriarch willing to let him be sad? It must be the newcomer who is down and out and behaved so well that he won the pity of the old matriarch, so he insisted on holding a banquet."
"Heh, he wouldn't think that holding a banquet like Brother Qingyuan did back then would be able to..."
"Okay, shut up."
The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes.
Bai Qingyuan stopped his younger brother's words, and very much hoped that the new cousin who came to look for relatives would not be so foolish.
If it wasn't for relying on the crown prince, how could Bai Qingyuan live such a happy life?The old matriarch alone can make him unable to eat and walk around... Who would not be angry that an adulterous son managed to take the place of his own grandson?
Bai Qingyuan's mother was the only concubine in the Hou's family back then, and she became a registered concubine due to the pity of the old matriarch. Later, she became pregnant and had a child before she was married. The two were disposed of by the old Hou and disappeared.
Other people in the mansion can still have some blood ties to the orphan of the half-sister, but the old lady will not.
It's a pity that these old things have been sealed up, and no one in the younger generation knows about it except him, and the brothers and sisters are all supporting Bai Qingyuan openly and secretly.
"Understood, can I stop talking? Brother, what are you thinking?"
"It's nothing, you should first think about what gifts to give at the banquet."
"Hey, it's boring."
Bai Qingyuan rolled his eyes, thinking about what "good things" that would be "innocuous" to give in three days.
During these three days, everyone in the Hou Mansion, except Bai Qingyuan, who claimed to be sick, went to visit Qiao Yu in the courtyard next to the old matriarch.
However, no matter whether they were trying to curry favor with the old matriarch, or simply curious about the new brother, or inquiring about news for Bai Qingyuan, they all fell for each other without exception. .
"You don't understand, Qiao Yu is so naive, if I don't watch over him, sooner or later I will be led astray by the rambunctious boys in the mansion!"
Bai Qingyuan paced around the room, talking to himself and trying to persuade Bai Qingyuan. Finally, he found a very good reason to convince himself, and couldn't wait to go out to the Ruihe Hall with a box full of his treasures. Looking for Qiao Yu in the yard.
"Crazy... all crazy!"
Bai Qingyuan looked at Bai Qingyuan completely ignoring himself, he had a particularly obvious perception of the changes in his brothers and sisters and even the servants in the mansion these days - how could people change so quickly?
The person who despised Qiao Yu with him the day before, and felt sorry for the princess, now has Qiao Yu in his heart and eyes!Simply, it was like being bewildered by a demon cast a spell!
Yes, it must be bewitched by ghosts.Such a high cliff, how could it be possible to survive the serious injury after falling off the cliff?It must be a ghost who came to trouble the Hou's mansion.
The more Bai Qingyuan thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he gave Bai Qingyuan the guess.
East Palace.
"Then I'll go back to the Marquis Mansion tomorrow too, to add some celebration, and let the royal priests find out if he is a human or a ghost."
Bai Qingyuan took a sip of tea and said indifferently.
"Qing Yuan wants to go back to the Marquis Mansion? What is a human and a ghost?"
The prince came in from the door, and he didn't know how long he had just listened.
"His Royal Highness, it is..."
Bai Qingyuan explained, recalling the changes in the people in the mansion in the past two days, he still had lingering fears.
"Na Gu and Qing Yuan went to the Hou Mansion together."
The prince grabbed Bai Qingyuan's hand, worried that if it was really a ghost, he would have to find a way to cover it up, lest his father find out and abolish the princess.
Normally speaking, a good Hou's mansion is invulnerable to all kinds of evil. Why is it that other people are fine, but yours will be a disaster?
Father has always been decisive, so he probably thinks so.
"Well, thank you Your Highness."
Bai Qingyuan faintly sensed that something was wrong, but for his own safety, he still did not refuse. The person who protects the prince is a top celestial master...
When several people finalized the matter of visiting the Hou's Mansion, Qiao Yu, who was surrounded by everyone in the Hou's Mansion for dinner, smiled numbly.
He really didn't expect that he was going to use the ghost king's innate skills to confuse everyone in the Hou's mansion. Who knew that he hadn't exerted his strength yet, and everyone who saw him would obey him!Even the venue, time, dishes and even the process arrangement of the banquet had to be asked for his opinion, which made his abilities useless.
But Bai Qingyuan was the only one in Hou's mansion who didn't come to see him. Qiao Yu just threw some unlucky talismans specially made by the Celestial Master on Bai Qingyuan's body, and charged a little interest these days, and then cleaned them up together at the banquet.
As for the big show at the banquet...he has already asked Feng Lan to prepare it.The only function of the Celestial Master Talisman that was secretly scattered throughout the entire Marquis Mansion was Huangliang Yimeng after activation.
All the injuries suffered in the dream will also appear in reality.
Qiao Yu understood the natural attraction of her appearance to others, and specially prepared a talisman that could not see his appearance clearly only for Bai Qingyuan, Bai Qingyuan, and the prince who was their backer.
What's the point of falling down at the first meeting?
He just wanted to see how trembling they were during the banquet, as if they were in the cave of falling into the devil, and to fully appreciate the situation in his previous life where he was almost alone and struggling to survive.
I don't know what they will do then?
Thinking of this, Qiao Yu smiled even brighter, making the surrounding air thinner again—everyone couldn't help but gasp for air to calm down their fiery hearts.
