Chapter 540 Second Brother
“My appetite seems to be particularly good these past two days.”
Not only this time, but also from the past two days, my appetite has increased, and my appetite has increased much more than usual. , I want to eat everything I see.
"Maybe it's because my health is getting better, so my appetite has also improved." Lu Qiyan said with a smile, "Being able to eat is a blessing."
Indeed, being able to eat is a blessing.
Xia Mingyue smiled and nodded.
Lu Qiyan stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, pursed his lips and smiled again and again.
Xia Mingyue has a great appetite. It should be that Yin Lingyou added some spleen-strengthening and appetizing herbs to the soup, so that Xia Mingyue can absorb enough nutrients during this period.
But she was worried that as a woman, Xia Mingyue would inevitably have the desire to maintain a slim figure, so she did not tell her specifically.
Lu Qiyan understood Yin Lingyou's good intentions, but he didn't expose them completely at this time. He only got up and called the waiter to get the pastries.
I don't know if it was because the stage was singing its most exciting part at this time, and the theater was the busiest and most crowded. Lu Qiyan shouted several times at the door of the private room, but he didn't see the waiter.
"I'll go down and tell the counter." Lu Qiyan told Xia Mingyue, closed the door, walked along the corridor to the stairs, and stepped downstairs.
Not even halfway up the stairs, a figure appeared behind Lu Qiyan.
Lu Qiyan noticed it, quickly turned around, and saw someone he hadn't seen for a long time, but who was very familiar to him.
Wen Yixuan.
Lu Qiyan narrowed his eyes, "Second brother?"
Wen Yixuan shook the paper fan in his hand, "It's really a coincidence that I met my third brother here."
" This is Changzhou City, thousands of miles away from the capital, and even further away from Shuixian Prefecture. The fact that my second brother can appear here really makes it impossible for me to associate it with the word coincidence," Lu Qiyan said lukewarmly.
Lu Qiyan's words were a bit straightforward, but Wen Yixuan was not annoyed at all. Instead, he smiled, "The third brother's temperament is still the same as before. He is straightforward and does not give anyone any face, and there is no way for people to step down. "
"Second brother is joking, I'm not a ladder, so I don't have so many steps to go down." Lu Qiyan joked, and then said, "Why don't you tell me why you came to me? .”
The clerk was not here, but Wen Yixuan showed up at this moment. If there was no handwriting from him, Lu Qiyan would never believe it.
“There are so many people and so many eyes, why don’t we go inside and talk?” Wen Yixuan raised his hand.
"I'm afraid I have to trouble my second brother to wait for a while."
Lu Qiyan knew that since Wen Yixuan could follow him here, he must have found out many things clearly, so he didn't hide it any more. People want some refreshments, I need to send someone up first, and then say hello to my wife."
Hearing this, Wen Yixuan smiled slightly and narrowed his eyes, "The third brother and his sister-in-law have a deep love for each other. Very envious.”
"Second brother is older than me, has more experience than me, and has already married. How can he not know about the drama?"
Lu Qiyan glanced at him, and without waiting for any response, he said "dong dong" After going downstairs, he found the waiter at the counter. He explained the pastries Xia Mingyue wanted one by one, and asked the waiter to add a pot of tea before going upstairs.
After passing Wen Yixuan, he went straight to his private room and said hello to Xia Mingyue, "I just met an acquaintance. I need to say a few words. Madam, wait for me here for a moment."
"Okay." Xia Mingyue knew that Lu Qiyan was in a high position now and would inevitably need some entertainment, and she just happened to be interested in watching the show. She would not feel bored if she continued to watch it carefully and have some refreshments. . Lu Qiyan squeezed Xia Mingyue's palm before going out.
Wen Yixuan had already sent someone to wait at the door and welcomed Lu Qiyan into the private room two rooms away.
While others went to get a new pot of tea, Wen Yixuan poured a cup for Lu Qiyan himself, "I must first congratulate my third brother for being promoted to military commander. He is deeply trusted and appreciated by Fan Honghui."
"Thank you, second brother."
Reaching out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man, Lu Qiyan did not refuse and took the teacup.
The tea cup is brought to the mouth, and the scent of tea penetrates into the nostrils, and this tea scent is extremely familiar.
This is...
Lu Qiyan paused and took a sip of tea, "Is everything okay, little sister Yuzhu?"
"Of course everything is fine." Wen Yixuan said with a smile, "Although I can't see the light, , but she is also well-dressed, has a high status, and her food and clothing expenses are comparable to those of the Wen family girls. Now she has become a grown-up girl. ”
"It's just that Yuzhu misses you as a big brother very much, so he often asks when we can get together with you again. Even if we comfort him from time to time, it won't help. In my opinion, if you have time, you should go back, so that Yuzhu can feel at ease."< br>
“This is natural.” Lu Qiyan nodded, “I also miss Yuzhu very much.”
"It's just that now that the An family has just come to a conclusion, the entire Western Frontier Army is controlled by Fan Honghui. It's time to recruit people, so I don't dare to stay away from the army easily."
"Furthermore, Fan Honghui is loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly. The Wen family has quite a lot of complaints. If he finds out that I have a relationship with the Wen family, Because of the relationship, I am afraid that all the previous efforts will be in vain."
"Actually, what the second brother did today is a bit presumptuous." Lu Qiyan lowered his voice, "I wonder if the second brother knows. The Xia family has a close relationship with the old lady of the He family. Now I have a harmonious relationship with Miss Fan, and even his younger brother Xia Yunji is now on equal footing with me in the military. If I let my wife see some clues and ask me a few questions, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it clearly. ”
“If my wife’s questions are raised by the Fan family again, The young lady or Mrs. He learned that my father's plans had completely failed. Therefore, even if I miss Yuzhu, I can't go back rashly. I hope my second brother will explain the reason to my father and eldest brother and show some understanding. "
Wen Yixuan frowned slightly when he heard this.
He knew the pros and cons that Lu Qiyan said, and indeed as Lu Qiyan said, he really shouldn't come looking for Lu Qiyan at this time, lest his identity be exposed, but he came here this time on the orders of his father and elder brother.
The reason is due to distrust of Lu Qiyan.
Lu Qiyan, the adopted son, was originally an excellent chess piece. He was placed in the army not controlled by the Wen family in order to be familiar with the movements of other armies and to cause certain blows from within at the appropriate time.
So they have been supporting Lu Qiyan so that Lu Qiyan can gain a firm foothold in the Western Frontier Army.
But now Lu Qiyan has great power in the Western Frontier Army, which is somewhat beyond their expectations.
They were afraid that Lu Qiyan would exceed their control.
If the carefully cultivated chess pieces and the chess pieces that serve the Wen family end up causing trouble, it will be the most ugly ending.
Fortunately, they had Lu Qiyan's weak spot in their hands.
Lu Yuzhu is Lu Qiyan’s little sister and Lu Qiyan’s only relative in this world.
Using Lu Yuzhu as a bargaining chip, Lu Qiyan had no second thoughts about the Wen family.
