Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 226 Li Shu
[Except for the prince, don’t speak too freely to others. ]
It was late at night, and Mei Qian couldn't sleep because of the things that happened during the day.

Finally, Mei Qian decided to get up and light a candle for herself, took out a bowl of hot cabbage and mutton soup from the space and ate it.

With the mutton soup in her hand, Mei Qian sat at the window and felt inexplicably dazed.

The fragrance of wintersweet gradually drifted in along Mei Qian's angled window, but Mei Qian had no intention of smelling this refreshing fragrance.

Even this bowl of mutton soup from the prosperous Tang Dynasty gradually cooled down in her hands, and finally there was a layer of white oil on it.

"Ah~"

Mei Qian came to her senses and sighed again when she saw this, and immediately put down the mutton soup.

Mei Qian had nothing to say when Chu Ji told her during the day.

She just expressed her doubts, and the other party didn't give any specific answer. He only said that she would have an extremely difficult road to walk in the future.

What did she ask then?
"Then Master Chu will think that Qian is overestimating his abilities?"

Chu Ji smiled and said nothing, but pointed to the boiling tea on the clay stove beside him.

Upon seeing this, Mei Qian picked up the tea cup without hesitation and poured tea into it, then respectfully presented it to Chu Ji with both hands.

Chu Ji took Mei Qian's tea, took a sip under Mei Qian's gaze, and then softly said: "Let's make up for the six etiquettes later~"

Six rites for apprenticeship: dried meat, celery, dried longan, lotus seeds, red dates, and red beans.

At that time, Chu Ji actually accepted him as his apprentice, which even Mei Qian herself did not expect.

After thinking about the confused apprenticeship process during the day, Mei Qian finally breathed out softly.

This way she can be considered as having someone to protect her in the future, right?

Mei Qian's worship of Chu Ji as her disciple was kept secret from each other until the New Year's Eve banquet, when Mei Qian followed Chu Ji on the stage and sat at the table next to Chu Ji as a disciple. Only then did everyone know about this. thing.

Qi Zhen, who was sitting on the upper hand, didn't say anything when he saw this. He just encouraged Mei Qian with a few words and followed Chu Ji to study hard.

The prying eyes of others at the banquet never stopped on Mei Qian.

What's Chuji's status in front of Qi Zhen?
Mei Qian was suddenly appreciated by Qi Zhen and walked in front of people. Perhaps this could not help but arouse people's imagination.

However, Mei Qian now worships Chu Ji as her teacher, which has caused many people to ponder over and over again.

When it came time to toast casually, there were also many people from Chuji who came to toast.

As a disciple, Mei Qian was supposed to help Chu Ji drink some, but Chu Ji waved his hands as if he wanted to drink to his heart's content today, which surprised Mei Qian.

But even so, because of Mei Qian's current status, she was inevitably respected by her colleagues.

Jin Yan, in particular, took Mei Qian to drink several glasses of wine, envying Mei Qian for her apprenticeship. Jin Yan couldn't help crying after a few glasses of wine with envy.

Mei Qian, who was crying, was stunned for a while, and poured him a few more drinks along the way, which made him drunk and continued to cry in his sleep.

By the time Mei Qian had settled her side of the relationship, when she turned around, Chu Ji had already knocked down all the people who came to toast him.

Chu Ji usually looked like he was a teetotaler, but in the end, he actually drank a lot!
Looking at those people who were drunk by Chu Ji with their eyes straightened and their feet dangling, Chu Ji calmly arranged for people to send these drunk people home in the end.

"Mei Qian."

When the night banquet came to an end, Chang An had already come to find him.

Mei Qian still remembers the agreement she made with Qi Zhen, to help Qi Zhen meet his mother and concubine tonight.

Qi Zhen hadn't had much drink since just now, and then he left the party halfway through the banquet and went back to wash up and get ready, which showed that he took it seriously.

At this moment, almost everyone at the banquet was gone. Only Chu Ji, who had arranged everyone, still had very clear eyesight. He even asked someone to make him another bowl of clear soup noodles.

Therefore, Mei Qian planned to talk to Chu Ji before leaving, but Chu Ji heard it and said directly: "Sit down and have a bowl of noodles with me first. Later, I will go with you."

"what?"

Mei Qian was startled when she heard Chu Ji say again: "I also want to meet that noble concubine."

Mei Qian:? ? ?
"Master." When Mei Qian heard Chu Ji say that she wanted to meet Qi Zhen's mother, her mind ran through some of the few bloody romance dramas she had ever seen.

The moment Mei Qian stopped calling Chu Ji, she suddenly said: "Excuse me, what is your honor this year?"

"Twenty-five, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing."

After calculating her age in her mind, Mei Qian was sure that her master was not someone who had a crush on some noble concubine, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

If they were not of the right age, her master and the imperial concubine should not have much of a relationship.

Don't blame her for thinking about it. Whose minister is rushing to meet his mother with his lord?
Moreover, Qi Zhen had previously said that his father and his mother had a quarrel, and the quarrel ended with the concubine having to be cremated after her death and unwilling to see the emperor.

In this kind of story, there must be some bloody moonlight and other plots, right?
"Ouch!"

Mei Qian's eyes were darting around, and it seemed like she wasn't thinking of anything good. Chu Ji directly hit Mei Qian's forehead with his chopsticks, leaving a red mark on her forehead.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Well, it's nothing. Don't you think Master has no wife at this age?"

"Yes, but my deceased wife has been dead for many years."

Mei Qian: "..."

Isn't she trying to hit people's hearts again?

Mei Qian didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and just obediently accompanied Chu Ji to finish the noodles. The two of them followed Chang An to Qi Zhen.

When Qi Zhen saw Chu Ji, his expression didn't change much. It seemed that they had communicated with each other before.

"Show up directly or do you two fall asleep?"

Mei Qian asked again.

"Show up."

"Okay, then I'll go to the next room and I won't be there."

Mei Qian left them enough time to get along and then went into a side room.

Her master didn't wink, but Mei Qian did.

She can just hide on her own.

As soon as Mei Qian entered the side room, she found that the room had already been lit with warm charcoal fire, and there was all food and drink available.

Obviously Qi Zhen had already prepared it for Mei Qian.

So Mei Qian returned the favor, and soon, as the snowflakes fell again in the sky, a light cyan figure appeared in front of Qi Zhen.

"Mother..."

Qi Zhen looked at Li Shu, who looked like a girl who had not yet left the pavilion, and big tears suddenly fell from his eyes.

The sidelines had heard about it, but now that Chu Ji saw this scene, he was so frightened that he almost stepped back and fell.

Really hell? ! !
While Mei Qian was eating snacks, she heard the noise outside and became curious. She imitated people in TV dramas and leaned on the door to peek.

Not to mention, the angle between this side room was really good. Mei Qian could clearly see Qi Zhen kneeling in front of her mother outside the house, and then——

Then why was her master looking in this direction?

It wasn't that Chu Ji didn't want to look at the imperial concubine but had to look at Mei Qian, it was actually that Mei Qian's dark shadow lying on the door was too eye-catching!

The 5.26 update time is a little later, it should be at noon or afternoon.

Going to the interview in the morning——
Chu Ji: Help, what should I do if I see my apprentice being so blatantly sneaky and suddenly want to expel me from the school?
