Once magnificent, now brilliant

Chapter 41

Today, Que Shizhou came to see Bai Junyu as usual.

Bai Junyu asked: "Mr. Que, do you know what Qi Xiang likes? Such as fans, waist pendants and so on."

He is still at a loss as to how to express his affection for the person he likes, basically it is to send food, and some books or the Four Treasures of the Study to Qi Xiang, but he always feels that it is not enough.Every time Qi Xiang came to visit him, he always looked at Qi Xiang's clothes, Qi Xiang didn't wear the accessories that men usually wear, simple and good-looking, but this also made him feel unable to give some suitable and expensive ones.If you give it away, Qi Xiang doesn't like to wear it, isn't it very boring?

"Want to give him a gift?" But Shizhou lowered his eyes to Xunai, looking intent on asking.

"Yes. He has a shop now and can make some money. But at present, most of it is used for return of capital and turnover, and there is not much that can be spent. Men in Beijing, even if they are just ordinary people, pay more attention to accessories. I think Qi Xiang usually wears simple clothes, so I wanted to match him with something." Bai Junyu told the truth.Moreover, the things he customized will naturally have his style, which can be considered as his own name in disguise.

"I think you're dressed quite simply." But Shi Zhou didn't mention the situation outside, lest Bai Junyu find out that he had seen him before.

"At home, it's natural to save as much as possible. And I'm a general, so it's inconvenient to wear too many things when I go out, so that's fine." Bai Junyu didn't think much about it. He didn't even wear a small crown these days, and only combed his hair It's just a bun.

But Shizhou smiled. If Qi Xiang received Bai Junyu's gift, he would definitely be happy, and he might not be willing to wear it, but those are all external things and have no practical significance. "Qi Xiang doesn't pay attention to this, it doesn't matter whether you wear it or not. You just Be nice to him, if he is in trouble, just give him a hand. Don't leave him alone all the time."

These words pierced Bai Junyu's heart, hissing and aching.Although Qi Xiang's friends are in the capital, Qi Xiang is still alone when he has something to do, and has never been with them, which is why they don't know what Qi Xiang usually does.I used to think that they were all men, and it was okay to be alone.But thinking about it now, it has nothing to do with gender, it's just that they didn't care enough.Qi Xiang is different from them, they still have family members, so it's okay not to find friends.But Qi Xiang has no family anymore, if these friends don't take the initiative, isn't Qi Xiang always alone?

"I see. I will invite him over more often in the future. When I recover, I will take him around more often so that he won't be bored alone." But Shi Zhou's words made him understand the difference, and even if he didn't After these words, when he is well, he will do the same.It's just that the meaning may not be so comprehensive.

Bai Ru entered, bowed and said, "Master, Mr. Qi is here."

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." Bai Junyu smiled and said, "Please hurry up."

Qi Xiang walked in with a smile, and said to Bai Junyu, "Don't look, I'm not here to look for you."

But Shizhou smiled, turned his head and asked, "You are looking for me?"

"Well, I'm looking for you for breakfast. A new breakfast shop has opened next to the clothing store. I heard from Ai Wu and the others that the small wontons are delicious, so I want to take you to try them."

"I didn't come here until after breakfast." But Shizhou said "I'm not hungry at all".

Qi Xiang didn't care either, "I forgot to tell you in advance yesterday. It's okay, you can taste it a little bit, if the taste is okay, we will eat it next time."

Seeing Qi Xiang's expression, Shi Zhou said helplessly, "Did you run out without eating? Although your health has been healthy this summer, you can't make such a fuss."

"Be careful next time." Qi Xiang promised.

But Shi Zhou couldn't talk about him anymore, "Okay, wait a while, pull out the needle and go."

Bai Junyu hurriedly asked Bai Ru to bring the stewed bird's nest with milk that was warmed on the small stove to Qi Xiang as a stomach pad. There is still a long way to go from here to the shop, so you can't do it on an empty stomach.

Seeing the way Qi Xiang and Que Shizhou got along, Bai Junyu suddenly remembered how Qi Xiang got along with the Taifu in school.Qi Xiang was not very old at that time, even if he was an elementary school student, he still had a childlike side, and occasionally Xianzheng would take him to eat something delicious, and he would tell the Taifu privately after class.He touched it twice by chance, just in such a casual and relaxed manner, without holding it in half.

"Since you have somewhere to go for breakfast, I won't keep you." Bai Junyu asked Qi Xiang to turn his attention to him.Qi Xiang is still dressed simply today, and his face is paler than before, probably because he didn't eat breakfast.

"No, the people in the store have mentioned to me several times that the weather is fine this morning, so I took Master to try it." After receiving the bird's nest, Qi Xiang knew that it was prepared for Bai Junyu by the mansion. Since Bai Junyu gave him to drink, he You're welcome.This bird's nest is made according to Bai Junyu's taste. There is very little rock sugar added, but it has frankincense, so it tastes good.

"What you said, I'm hungry too."

Qi Xiang smiled and said: "I have eaten such a good bird's nest, I can only wait for you to recover, I will take you to have breakfast to make up for it, I treat you."

Although he didn't know how long it would be, Bai Junyu felt motivated and immediately said, "That's settled."

"It's definitely not bad for you."

After pulling out the needle and packing up the medicine box, Qi Xiang helped Shi Zhou carry it.But Shi Zhou's medicine box is larger than that of ordinary doctors. In addition to necessary items such as pulse pillows and needles, there are also many medicine bottles in it, which are all emergency medicines in case of emergency needs.The weight is not bad, and Qi Xiang doesn't have much trouble carrying it.

In Bai Junyu's eyes, the way Qi Xiang was carrying the big medicine box was very cute, like a young boy carrying a big book box, cute and uncoordinated.

Rong Cang arrived not long after Bai Junyu finished breakfast.

"Come here suddenly, didn't I bother you?" Rong Cang sat on the stool beside the bed, not to mention how Bai Junyu recovered, but his complexion looked much better than before.

Bai Junyu laughed, "It's not convenient for me to go out, what can I bother you?"

"I heard from Xianxuan that Qi Xiang has often come to see you recently. Has he not come today? When he arrives later, I will call Xianxuan and have dinner together?" Qi Xiang is not in good health, so forget about the tiredness of playing. , it is not convenient for Bai Junyu to go to other places, so let it go.If we want to get together, we can only eat.

"He came here just now and left again." Bai Junyu said.

"So fast?"

"It says there's a breakfast shop to go to."

Okay, it's not convenient to bring Bai Junyu with you.And maybe people will come back after eating, so I have to mention some things quickly, "How are you getting along with Qi Xiang recently?"

"Everything remains the same." Regarding her own thoughts, Bai Junyu is not going to tell others for the time being, and it will not be too late to talk about it when it is settled, otherwise, if the result is not good, it will become a burden for them.

Rong Cang's mind was spinning quickly, all he was thinking about was how to praise Qi Xiang quietly, so that Bai Junyu realized that Qi Xiang was rare, "Early this morning, my father called me to the imperial study room, and asked the third brother Reply to the Ministry of Etiquette for helping. Qi Xiang guessed that the score is not bad, so he is our lucky star."

Bai Junyu nodded, "In some things, we are indeed inferior to him."

"That's too bad. Qi Xiang went through such a big change, we were tied up and couldn't help, but he didn't complain at all when he came back. It can be seen that he understands us and really treats us as brothers. Qi Xiang Everything is fine, I'm just a little worried."

"What?" Bai Junyu was puzzled.

"He's not young anymore, and he's going to get married sooner or later. What if the girl he's looking for or the girl's natal family don't agree with them?" Rong Cang carefully observed Bai Junyu's reaction, trying to find a breakthrough.

Bai Junyu said with a light smile: "Qi Xiang has always been measured, so it's not like this."

"It's hard to say."

Bai Junyu thought for a while, and asked: "Your Highness wants to introduce Qi Xiang to marriage?" In this case, there must be no such worries, but he will not allow it!

Rong Cang hurriedly waved his hands. If he really introduced him, he would break the friendship between Qi Xiang and their classmates. At that time, Xianxuan might also turn his face, "That's not what I mean. Besides, how can I know any suitable girl? I It means that it would be fine if Qi Xiang likes his own people."

Bai Junyu felt relieved, and he was really looking forward to it.Of course, the word "person" can be removed when he refers to "our own people".

"Whether you like it or not, unless you fall in love at first sight, you need to get along slowly before you can have feelings." He

It wasn't love at first sight for Qi Xiang, they had known each other for ten years, and he never thought that he would want to change his relationship with Qi Xiang before.But Xin, just changed so quietly, at a certain moment, everything was different.

Rong Cang seemed to have felt the pulse of the topic, and immediately said: "That's the reason. Friendship is the same. Maybe the other party doesn't fall in love with each other at first glance. Only after getting along for a long time can we know who is a true friend. Among us, Xian Xuan and Qi Xiang The relationship is the best, and compared with me, you and Qi Xiang have a better relationship. Qi Xiang is a trustworthy and trustworthy person. If you can become better friends with him than Xianxuan and him, it will be good for you .”

"Do you think I can surpass Xianxuan?" Rong Cang had no problem analyzing the relationship between Qi Xiang and the three of them.As for his relationship with the three of them, as he thought before, he still knows Qi Xiang better.He was happy with the relationship before, but not now.

"Of course. It's unusual for him to see you often. Qi Xiang is good at everything, but he sees things too clearly. Due to his status, he treats me like this at most, and I don't force it. But you , if you can have a better relationship, you will earn money." Some things he can't say too directly or too ambiguously.

"I will seriously consider it." Bai Junyu didn't say anything to death, but also felt that the relationship Rongcang hoped for was not the relationship he hoped for, so naturally he didn't expect it.When it comes to "unusual", Qi Xiang is willing to invite Master to treat him. Does that mean that he also has a special place in Qi Xiang's heart?

Rong Cang patted Bai Junyu's arm earnestly, "As long as you have the heart."

This topic is almost finished here, and Rong Cang didn't want Bai Junyu to feel that he came here just to say these words, saying that he changed the topic to a lighter one, "Yesterday I entered the palace to greet you, and I heard from the concubine that the empress began to talk about it." Looking for a marriage for the third brother."

Bai Junyu raised his eyebrows, "Changed direction?"

Before that, he was looking for the fourth prince and him.

"I guess it didn't work out after a lot of tossing around, and I figured out what my father meant, so I just insisted on the third brother. The third brother has indeed reached the age of marriage, so it's not easy to delay."

"Before, the empress dragged it because she wanted to pick the best one. Now that you don't drag it, which one are you looking for?"

Rong Cang sipped his tea and said with a smile, "It's the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Zuo Shilang, who just turned eighteen this year."

"It's not that old. But the Minister of Rites doesn't have any real power in his hands, so why pick his family?"

"Someone must have mentioned it." Rong Cang didn't care, "The Prime Minister Zuo's family is very popular. If you choose someone more powerful, the father will be the first to let the third brother go. If it's just an ordinary Officials, on the one hand, are expressing to the emperor that they have no intention of arrogating, on the other hand, the people in the Ministry of Rites will definitely do their best for the third prince, killing two birds with one stone."

"That's right. It's the best thing for the queen to listen to my advice this time."

Rong Cang didn't stay for lunch, and Rong Cang went back after sitting for a while, thinking that if Qi Xiang came back later, it would just give them a chance to get along alone.

As soon as Rong Cang left, Mrs. Bai came, her face was not very good, she frowned and asked, "Do you know where Jun Yang went?"

Bai Junyu looked blank, "I don't know, what's wrong?"

"I went to his yard this morning to see how well the servants are serving me, but I found out that he didn't return all night last night. Before I could finish my question, someone from the White House came and said that your aunt I'm sick, let Jun Yang go back and have a look."
