Chapter 672: Brother-in-law and 3rd Brother
Nanny Feng really thought that their Third Young Master was hungry, so he was talking about vegetarian food. She quickly called a few maids who were carrying trays and put the vegetarian food on the table.
Finally, even the dishes and chopsticks were laid out, and Nanny Feng bowed and left with a few maids.
The Duke of Anguo and his wife sat down at the table with their children and grandchildren.
"Okay, let's have the vegetarian meal first.
After the vegetarian meal, everyone went back to their rooms to copy two volumes of scriptures.
Tomorrow is our last day in Qingguo Temple.
Tomorrow afternoon, we will set off for Beijing."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded.
The Duke of Anguo and his wife reached out and picked up the chopsticks, and then the others followed suit.
Just as he picked up the chopsticks and hadn't even taken a bite of the vegetarian food, he heard the servants' voices coming from outside: "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yu!"
Everyone in the room paused holding their chopsticks.
"Okay, add some more bowls and chopsticks!
It seems... there are really people who like to eat the vegetarian food in Qingguo Temple!
This is coming at the right time!"
The third young master Fu Mingxiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying.
Leng Rongyue was complaining in her heart:
Has His Royal Highness Prince Yu ever studied guerrilla tactics?
It is obvious that if the enemy comes, I will leave, and if the enemy leaves, I will come!
The rich ladies who were chasing him had just left Qingguo Temple and were probably still on the road, so His Royal Highness Prince Yu turned back to Qingguo Temple.
He was openly slapping the faces of those court officials and noble ladies!
At this time, the door opened and Prince Yu Xiao Jingyu stepped in.
Everyone in the Anguo Mansion hurriedly stood up and prepared to greet them, but Xiao Jingyu raised his hand to stop them.
“Dear elders, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat and continue your vegetarian meal!
I have come here in a hurry and I am hungry now!"
As he spoke, Xiao Jingyu took off his cloak and put it aside.
In front of the Anguo family, Xiao Jingyu directly put himself in the position of the future son-in-law.
Be respectful to several elders;
He treated the two young masters as if they were his own brothers.
Xiao Jingyu behaved like this, and the people in the Anguo Mansion were not the kind of people who would stick to the rules.
After a simple greeting, everyone sat down at the table.
Since they arrived at Qingguo Temple yesterday, Xiao Jingyu had a vegetarian meal with everyone from the Anguo Mansion. He already had a seat here.
All we need now is a new set of bowls and chopsticks.
Nanny Feng moved quickly, brought a set of bowls and chopsticks, placed them in front of Xiao Jingyu, then bowed and left.
Madam Xue smiled at Xiao Jingyu and said softly, "Your Highness Prince Yu just said he was hungry. Let's eat some now before the vegetarian meal gets cold!
We have something to talk about, let’s talk after we finish our meal!”
"Yes, junior obeys your command!"
Xiao Jingyu responded respectfully, reached out to pick up the chopsticks, his eyes involuntarily looking at Leng Rongyue.
Leng Rongyue looked down at the bowl of rice in front of her.
But...what's going on with my heartbeat suddenly speeding up?
The Third Master Fu Mingxiu looked at Leng Rongyue who was blushing and lowering her head beside the table, then looked at Xiao Jingyu who was sitting next to him, coughed lightly, and said, "Actually... Your Highness Prince Yu, there is really no need for you to make this trip, we will be back to Beijing tomorrow anyway, right?
Or... His Royal Highness Prince Yu is not interested in the delicious food in the capital?
Are you proud of the green vegetables and tofu from Qingguo Temple?"
Xiao Jingyu swallowed the tofu in his mouth slowly and said, "Third brother, you don't know...
Whether it’s gourmet food or vegetarian food, it doesn’t really matter.
What is important is Jingyu's sincerity towards Buddha and Bodhisattva.
We were supposed to worship Buddha for three days, but Jingyu is absent now. This is a sin. I will apologize in front of Buddha tomorrow!"
"Oh, I see!
That's true!"
Fu Mingxiu nodded and continued, "There is only one official road from the capital to the Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain.
On the way to Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain, His Royal Highness Prince Yu must have seen many people and vehicles heading towards the capital, right?
The people in that carriage...are all famous ladies who are in love with His Royal Highness Prince Yu...
Seeing them rushing in and out for His Royal Highness Prince Yu, how does His Royal Highness Prince Yu feel? "
Xiao Jingyu smiled and said, "If you want to tell me your thoughts...
Jingyu only knew that he had to rush to Yunxiang Mountain, and didn't think about anything else...!"
Xiao Jingyu changed his mind and continued eating.
"Ugh!"
Fu Mingxiu sighed, "Those rich ladies who came to Qingguo Temple, whether in terms of appearance or family background, should all think they are qualified to stand beside His Royal Highness Prince Yu.
I believe there are indeed some outstanding people among them.
Your Highness Prince Yu, don't you feel sorry that you didn't get to know him?"
Xiao Jingyu put down his chopsticks, picked up the water cup and took a sip, then looked at Fu Mingxiu and said, "Didn't Third Brother walk around Qingguo Temple more today?
Maybe... there will be an unexpected encounter... who knows!"
"Your Highness Prince Yu is wrong!
"Putting shoes on in a melon field, or straightening a hat under a plum tree, will easily arouse suspicion, so how can we do that?"
Fu Mingxiu said.
"Third brother is right!
Therefore, Jingyu had to avoid being in trouble.
Third brother, have you forgotten that Jingyu is already engaged, and Jingyu still wants to call you Third Brother?"
What Xiao Jingyu meant was: Third brother, I am engaged;
It is your sister with whom I am engaged;
But I am your future brother-in-law, so you should call me Third Brother!
After Xiao Jingyu finished speaking, he continued to eat his vegetarian meal.
