Chapter 126 The Prince of the Marquis of Changping
Qiao Xiaofu went upstairs in despair, where the food was already being served.
His Royal Highness the Prince gave Qiao Xiaofu instructions on the dishes: "This one-duck is very special. The duck skin is wrapped in dough, shredded cucumber is placed inside, and then this...and then dipped in this..."
Qiao Xiaofu came back to his senses and followed the instructions of His Highness the Crown Prince and wrapped one: "Is that so?"
"Yes!" His Royal Highness the Prince was very happy, feeling a sense of accomplishment that he and Qiao Xiaofu had completed a work together.
Qiao Xiaofu nodded and handed it to Mr. Dongfang with a smile: "Grandpa eats it first."
Mr. Dongfang nodded: "Good boy, you eat too."
Qiao Xiaofu handed the second crispy roast duck skin wrapped in dough to Mrs. Dongfang, who also praised Qiao Xiaofu for his filial piety.
The third one was wrapped, and His Royal Highness was looking forward to it: It's his turn, right? After all, his status is the most noble here.
However, Qiao Xiaofu handed it to Qiao Chu.
Qiao Chu glanced at the eager Crown Prince: "No, I have it."
Qiao Chu picked up the bowl, and Chen Qingshan put a wrapped duck skin roll into Qiao Chu's bowl. The two of them cooperated like clouds and flowing water, and they obviously had a tacit understanding.
Everyone is not surprised, they are already used to eating dog food.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was eager.
Qiao Xiaofu took back the food in his hand, looked around, and handed it to Chen Qingshan under the expectant gaze of His Royal Highness: "Uncle, you eat."
Chen Qingshan nodded: "Yeah." He picked it up with chopsticks and ate in one bite.
His Royal Highness: "..."
Xu Jingye ate silently, pretending not to see it, but suddenly he heard Xu Jiye next to him say: "Xiaofu, this is for you." When he looked up, it was Xu Jiye who had gone all the way to wrap up a crispy duck from the next table and send it to Qiao Xiaofu.
…
Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince's complexion darken visibly, Xu Jingye wanted to vomit blood: Is it too late to kill this younger brother now?!
Qiao Xiaofu didn't seem to see anything. He said thank you and ate half of it in one bite. Before he could swallow it, he stuffed the rest into his mouth, making his small mouth bulge!
"Why are you in a hurry? I would like to order two more portions!" His Royal Highness couldn't help but said.
Qiao Xiaofu waved his hand to indicate no need, swallowed hard, and then... choked.
Seeing that the little girl was blushing and having a thick neck due to choking, His Royal Highness hurriedly poured tea and handed it to her. On the other side, Qiao Chu said softly: "If you can't swallow it, just spit it out."
Qiao Xiaofu blushed, coughed twice, and vomited it out.
"Rinse your mouth." Qiao Chu patted her back and His Royal Highness handed her tea.
Qiao Xiaofu wiped away his choked tears and said with a smile: "This duck is so delicious. I ate it too fast and choked."
Qiao Chu pulled Qiao Xiaofu and said, "Come out and wipe your face. How are you holding yourself back?"
The waiter brought tea, a clean handkerchief and a basin in the cubicle. Qiao Xiaofu followed Qiao Chu to the cubicle, drank some water, wiped his face, then lay down in Qiao Chu's arms and cried quietly.
Qiao Chu knew that something was definitely going on, but he didn't press her or ask, he just followed her lead one by one.
In just half a cup of tea, Qiao Xiaofu calmed down a lot and said, "Auntie, I just saw my dad."
"Huh?" Qiao Chu was really surprised now.
"Where did you see it?" After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong, "How is this possible?"
Qiao Dajiang was captured by a young man. He should be in the army. How could he be in the capital?
If you were really in the capital, why didn't you go home?
Even if you don’t have freedom, you can still write a letter, right?
This thing is so weird!
Qiao Chu asked Qiao Xiaofu to explain clearly, and Qiao Xiaofu made it clear in just a few seconds.
Qiao Chu frowned: "Let's go downstairs and ask."
The shopkeeper on the first floor remembered that Qiao Chu and his party came with the distinguished guests on the third floor, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked if he needed anything.
Qiao Chu asked Qiao Xiaofu to explain the appearance of the man who had just left. The shopkeeper laughed when he heard it: "The one you are talking about? That is the prince of Changping Hou Mansion."
The prince of the Changping Marquis Mansion?!
Qiao Chu and Qiao Xiaofu both opened their eyes in shock.
Qiao Chu looked at Qiao Xiaofu hesitantly: "People are similar..." Could it be that he recognized the wrong person?
Qiao Xiaofu was also a little confused.
The waiter at the shop next to him said cheerfully: "Are you two also curious about the crown prince of the Changping Marquis Mansion? Everyone in the capital knows about this..."
The shopkeeper glanced at the waiter and didn't stop him.
It is true that everyone in the capital knows about this, so there is no need to hide it.
The waiter then whispered the story of the prince of the Changping Marquis Mansion.
The Crown Prince was taken away by his mother when he was nine years old. The reason was that Marquis Changping wanted to marry an equal wife, and resorted to tricks to get the marriage granted by His Majesty.
The Marquis was angry and couldn't fight, so she simply took the prince and left the capital with a big belly.
Marquis Changping also asked people to look for him, but he couldn't find it after searching around, so he gave up. Just because of this matter, His Majesty said that Marquis Changping was incompetent and couldn't even handle family affairs properly, so Ping's wife became a
Became a concubine.
At first, everyone thought that Mrs. Houye would come back after a while. After all, their man was robbed, how could he really give up his position? But who knew that Mrs. Houye would never come back.
When the prince came back more than ten years later, it was said that Mrs. Hou Ye was gone.
Of course, there were some fights in the Changping Hou Mansion over the long-vacant crown prince position, but it was hard for the waiter to talk about such things.
After listening to the story, Qiao Chu and Qiao Xiaofu looked at each other in confusion: Believe it or not?
If calculated according to the time line, it is quite right, because it only took half a year for the Prince of Changping to return.
But neither Qiao Xiaofu nor Qiao Chu had any impression of this?
In his memory, no one said anything unusual about Qiao Chu and Qiao Xiaofu's life experiences. In Qiao Chu's memory, although his parents died young, they were very kind...
Shaking his head, Qiao Chu knew that if he wanted to find out about this matter, the key was to find the Changping Marquis and ask him face to face.
So Qiao Chu patted Qiao Xiaofu's little head: "Don't think so much, I'll go back and ask for details."
"Yeah." Qiao Xiaofu pursed his lips slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Qiao Chu did not tell the people eating on the third floor these things, and everyone went their separate ways after the meal.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going back to the palace, and the Xu family brothers are going back to the mansion.
Mr. Dongfang took everyone back to Baguajing Alley, which is Mr. Dongfang’s house.
This house is a bit secluded. According to Mrs. Dongfang, there are many scholars around, so it is not surprising that there is a small shop selling pens, inks, paper and inkstones at the entrance of the alley.
Mr. Dongfang's house has two entrances. To say that it is suitable for living in, it is barely possible, and it is not very comfortable.
After all, this house used to be lived by Mr. Dongfang and his wife, but now there are five members of Qiao Chu's family, plus A Qiu's family of three and Cui Xiuxiu, so it is very compact.
Cui Xiuxiu proposed to live back in her own home. Her family originally had a house in Beijing, but it was not very big.
But now she was just a pregnant woman, there was no man in the family, and there was that betrayed man in the capital. Qiao Chu was worried that she would be in danger, so he suggested that she live with everyone first and talk about it later.
Cui Xiuxiu regarded the child in her belly as extremely important, so for the sake of safety, she was not obsessed with it.
