Chapter 293 Red String
As noon approached, Chai Yan took Chai Hao into Li Shiji.
In Li Shiji, the guests were talking about Jia Tingfang, but there were more new materials.
"Have you heard it? The one who is with Mr. Jia turns out to be not a young servant in a church."
"Isn't it a young man? By the way, that person has a Shu accent. The young man in our capital is either in Mandarin or Wudi soft language."
"Yes, I heard that he was the son of the Jujialuo family in Shu, and his family's money was piled up in mountains."
"So rich?"
"The Jia family has power and the Luo family has money. Sorry, I may think a little too much."
......
Chai Yan listened quietly and took Chai Hao down in the corner.
Chai Hao's attention was not here, and he looked around and was curious about everything.
It was Chai Hao's first time since he came to the capital. No, he has lost his freedom since he arrived in the capital.
"Uncle, look at why that man is wearing big sweaters now? Isn't he hot?"
"Uncle, look at that child. What is the green thing he eats? Is it delicious?"
"Uncle, what is the cooking of the basin on that table? I want to eat it too."
Chai Yan looked at him helplessly. Did Chai Hao enter the palace or was sent to the countryside?
At this time, a young man and a half ran over and said, "Yan Qi, why are you sitting here?"
Chai Yan didn't expect to meet Dong Xiaobai here. He asked, "Shouldn't you be in school at this time? Have you skipped school?"
Dong Xiaobai spat: "You just skipped school. Today, Mr. Huang had something to do at home. I gave us half a day off. Dazhuang sent me and Mantou here, and let us have dinner before going back to Qingping Lane."
"Where is Xiaoman?" Chai Yan looked behind Dong Xiaobai and did not see Xiaoman.
"Tsk, what else can he do? Of course he has done his homework. Master Huang has assigned a lot of homework," Dong Xiaobai said, while glanced at Chai Hao. Seeing Chai Hao also looking at him, Dong Xiaobai asked, "Yan Qi, who is this, your relative?"
Chai Yan asked back: "Can you tell that this is my relative?"
"Of course, you two look quite similar." Dong Xiaobai was not polite, and pulled a chair by himself, sat down at the table, and asked the guy to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks to him.
Chai Yan smiled and introduced: "You guessed it, this is my nephew."
He said to Chai Hao again: "This is Dong Yun, also known as Dong Xiaobai."
The guy brought the food one after another. When Xiaoman came here, the dishes on the table had been empty, and Chai Hao and Dong Xiaobai were already mixed.
They found that none of them like to read, they all like to practice martial arts, none of them have ever watched monkey plays, and they all want to see big stones on their chests.
Xiaoman and they had no common hobbies, but he also wanted to go to the monkey show and the big stones on his chest. The three children said every word, talked a lot and ate a lot.
A dish was served, and before Chai Yan could comment, the plate was empty.
Chai Yan added a few more dishes, but it was still the case. The three children were like three little hungry wolves, the naughty and naughty Dong Xiaobai, the gentle Xiaoman, and even Chai Hao, who is the eldest grandson of the emperor.
Chai Yan simply went to the private room by himself and opened another table again. He made the three little ones feel so quarrel, and he wanted to have a meal.
Li Qiniang was busy, and Wen Xiu took a break from her busy schedule and came to tell her that Chai Yan brought a young man over. At this moment, the young man was with Dong Xiaobai and Xiaoman.
In Wen Xiu's opinion, Chai Yan is Li Qiniang's prospective son-in-law.
Li Qiniang was stunned. Chai Yan brought a young man?
"Yes, that young master and Mr. Yan look so similar. They look like a family at first glance, but they just don't know if they are nephews or nephews."
Li Qiniang remained silent and asked her to send a plate of fresh fruits to serve.
Outside, Chai Hao and Dong Xiaobai were almost ready to go to Erlang Temple. Xiaoman said he would finish all his homework before he could go to Erlang Temple. Both of them opposed it and could continue to do his homework at night, but those who performed monkey shows would have to close their stall before dark.
Two to one, Xiaoman had to agree.
Chai Hao ran to the private room and told Chai Yan about their decision. Chai Yan nodded and took Chai Hao to see Li Qiniang.
"Aunt, this is my nephew, about the same age as Xiaoman. I want to take the three of them to Erlang Temple in the afternoon. Don't worry, I promise to take them well."
Seeing that Li Qiniang didn't say anything, Chai Yan's face turned red when he remembered what happened last night.
"Auntie, as long as Sister Huai agrees, I..."
Li Qiniang raised her head and said, "I will talk about your affairs with Sister Huai in the future. Take your three children out first. Watch them out, eat less food from the stalls, and don't eat bad food."
Although he did not get the answer he wanted, Chai Yan was still very happy. His mother-in-law said "I'll talk about it later", which means that it can be said, but it's just a matter of time.
Chai Yan was about to say goodbye, but Li Qiniang called him: "Sister Huai is at home now."
Chai Yan's eyes lit up. Can he go with Coriander?
Not only Yan Xuehuai, but also Dong Wanqian went to visit Erlang Temple together.
Three adults, three children, and six people went to Erlang Temple to watch monkey plays, magic tricks, and then saw big stones on their chests, drank fruit dew, ate sugar cakes, tasted fried croquettes, and ate stinky tofu. Until it was getting dark, the people in Erlang Temple began to close the stalls, and the six people went home.
Chai Yan and Chai Hao went to Qingping Lane first and sent Yan Xuehuai and the others back. Chai Hao poked his head out of the car and waved desperately at Dong Xiaobai and Xiaoman: "I'll come to play with you some other day. Don't forget me, don't forget me!"
Who knows when will they play together next time? Chai Hao is very sad.
Chai Yan touched his wrist at Yan Xuehuai. Yan Xuehuai held back her smile and turned around and left.
They wore a red rope on each of their wrists.
There are two ancient trees growing together in Erlang Temple, known as the Couple Tree. It is said that if you hang red cloth strips with the names of the two people on the tree, you will be able to stay away for the rest of your life.
Chai Yan took advantage of Yan Xuehuai and her three children to circle the stall, and ran to the couple's tree to tie a red cloth strip.
Worried that his red cloth strip would be untied by the naughty child, he specially donated ten taels of silver into the merit box. In front of everyone, the seventh prince covered his face with a handkerchief and stepped on a ladder to tie the red cloth strip to the highest point.
The old man who was watching over the couple's tree specially gave him two red ropes, including red cloth strips and red ropes, and he and Yan Xuehuai would never be separated in this life.
So Chai Yan coaxed Yan Xuehuai to tie the red rope to his wrist.
Although Chai Hao was reluctant, he was still sent back to the East Palace.
I saw that his clothes were covered with sauce on his face, and he was holding a man with a man with a man with a man with a carved wooden sword and a sword, and carrying a furry thing on his waist. When the princess approached, he was shocked. It was actually a little wolf with a grin. Of course, it was fake, but it was also scary.
Chai Hao laughed proudly. Today was his happiest day. He went to visit Erlang Temple and made good friends.
The next morning, Chai Hao woke up and remembered another happy thing.
