Chapter 755 Who is he?
Upon hearing what these old guys said, Marquis Yongning glared at them with dissatisfaction and replied with a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"
Seeing that he didn't believe it, there was no embarrassment on their faces as if they had been seen through.
"Look, you still don't believe me, but Lao Zhao and I were originally going to visit an old friend, but on the way we ran into Lao Sun who was returning home to worship his ancestors, so we ended up traveling together.
I met King Chen again in Qingzhou Prefecture, and we all followed him here."
General Cheng spread his hands outward and spoke as if it were true.
"Yes, that's what happened."
Grand Tutor Sun and Lord Zhao also nodded in agreement.
Although they all served in the same dynasty, the Yongning Marquis in front of them was different from them.
He is the Queen's elder brother and the Second Prince's close uncle. It's better not to tell him some things.
“…………”Marquis Yongning frowned.
I always felt that these old guys were trying to fool me. Just as I was thinking about it, Butler Liu came over from the restaurant with a smile.
"My Lord, I've got you something to eat. How about we talk after you finish eating?"
"Oh, okay." Marquis Yongning nodded quickly.
After such a long journey, he was indeed hungry, so he followed Butler Liu into the restaurant.
General Cheng and the others looked at each other and thought that if they just left like that, it would seem something was wrong, so they followed him in.
Looking at the big bowl of instant noodles and sausages on the table, Yongning Hou was full of curiosity.
"What kind of noodles is this?"
I've eaten a lot of noodles, but I've never seen this kind of noodles. I don't know if it's because I was too hungry, but it smelled quite delicious.
Before Butler Liu could say anything, General Cheng snatched it away.
"This is instant noodles. Princess Chen bought it from a traveling merchant. You're in for a treat. It's not always available."
While speaking, I glanced at the bowl of instant noodles. I have eaten here several times, but it still smells so delicious.
Looking at his eyes staring straight at the bowl of noodles, I think it must taste good.
He picked up the chopsticks and tried to take a bite. As soon as it entered his mouth, his eyes lit up obviously.
No wonder the old man was staring at it, the noodles tasted really good.
Maybe he was too hungry after running all the way, so he stopped chatting with others and just ate noodles in big mouthfuls.
Taking a bite of cucumber pickles from time to time is so relaxing.
A large bowl of instant noodles was finished in a short while. If I wasn't afraid of being laughed at, I really wanted to ask for another bowl. It tasted really good.
"Since Marquis Yongning has finished eating, let's go to bed early!"
As Grand Tutor Sun spoke, he looked at Butler Liu, and his meaning was very clear.
Arrange a room for him quickly, I don’t want to stay here with him anymore.
"Yes, then I will take you to rest right away."
Receiving Tutor Sun's gaze, Butler Liu quickly cooperated and pointed to the house opposite.
Marquis Yongning had planned to chat for a while longer, but seeing that these old guys were just yawning, it was obvious that they were too lazy to talk to him.
In addition to the fatigue of traveling all the way, and now that I’m full, I really want to lie down and rest.
"Oh, okay, let's talk tomorrow."
He stood up, bowed to a few people, and followed Butler Liu out.
Several adults also stood up and followed him. As soon as they went out, they ran to their own rooms, fearing that they would be caught by Yongning Hou and questioned endlessly.
In fact, they were overthinking it. Marquis Yongning was indeed very tired these days. In order to clean up the Second Prince's mess, he had racked his brains.
I found dozens of people to be scapegoats. I haven't been able to eat or sleep well these past few days. Now that I've returned to my room, I really don't want to come out again.
When Han Muchen returned home, it was already late at night.
Seeing that Chuchu didn't even change her sleeping position, it seemed that she was really tired.
After washing up, I leaned over, hugged the softness in my arms, and fell asleep comfortably.
The next morning, Qin Chuchu was awakened by the noise in the yard again.
Knowing that the academy would start work today, I didn't feel like getting up in the morning and got out of bed to clean up as soon as I opened my eyes.
When I arrived at the restaurant, I saw everyone having breakfast. After greeting each other and about to sit down, I noticed a new face.
"Hmm?" She stared straight at Marquis Yongning.
I don’t know who this old man is, he looks very unfamiliar.
"Princess, this is the Marquis of Yongning, the father of the Second Young Master Xiao. He came here last night."
Feng Qi hurriedly introduced them, otherwise the princess's staring eyes would be like looking at an unearthed cultural relic.
"Greetings, Princess." Marquis Yongning bowed as a greeting.
It turns out that this person is Prime Minister Qin's eldest daughter. She is indeed pretty. No wonder the Second Prince's eyes flickered when he mentioned her.
When Qin Chuchu heard that it was Xiao Qingyun's father, she immediately smiled with her eyes curved.
"Oh, really? Please take a seat!"
There was nothing to say about her enthusiasm. In her heart, Xiao Qingyun was also her friend. When her friend's father came, she had to treat him well.
But as soon as my butt touched the chair, I came to my senses.
Marquis Yongning! Isn't that the Queen's brother and the Second Prince's uncle?
Only then did he remember that he was not in the same group with him. Why did he come here so late at night? Could something have happened?
Suspicion appeared on her originally enthusiastic face, and she looked at the man with a questioning look.
Seeing Chu Chu's expression change so quickly, the man suppressed the smile on his face.
"My dear, have a bun."
After saying that, he put the bun to Qin Chuchu's mouth.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Qin Chuchu opened her mouth wide.
She took a bite without hesitation. After all, this was her daily routine with men, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But Marquis Yongning, who was eating at another table, was shocked.
Isn’t it a bit unbelievable that Prince Chen actually personally prepared meals for Princess Chen?
Not to mention how noble his status is, he would be embarrassed to do it in front of so many people, and he is not afraid of losing face.
Seeing the guy's shocked expression, General Cheng and the others looked at him with disgust and continued to eat with their heads down.
What's the big deal? It's always like this!
Qin Chuchu didn't think it was wrong, but when she was halfway through her meal, Da Cui and Xiao Cui came in.
"My Lord, my Princess, the tool delivery has arrived. I've asked my servants to bring you a message, asking you to send someone over to take inventory."
“…………”Butler Liu looked up.
Before he could say anything, Grand Tutor Sun beside him stood up in surprise.
"Really? Then how many more people will be working today?"
Tutor Sun held the buns in his hand and looked at Da Cui with joy on her face.
Today is the day when the college starts work. A new batch of tools has returned, and there will be more people working. Wouldn’t the progress be much faster?
“………………”Marquis Yongning was stunned.
He stopped drinking porridge. He didn't know what could make Old Sun, who was always conservative, so excited.
Qin Chuchu was also stunned.
“………………”
This old man is quite excited!
It seems that he really takes this matter to heart!
"Okay, I'll go over and count it."
After Butler Liu drank the last mouthful of porridge, he stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Tutor Sun again.
"Wait a minute, I'll go with you!"
He didn't even eat the bun, just threw it into the bowl, then stood up and walked over.
Such a big thing, I must follow it!
