Yueyanglou is slightly north of the east of Chang'an City, relatively close to the imperial city, and is the most famous restaurant on the side of Qinglou Street.

On this day, Yueyang Tower was full of people as usual, and all kinds of guests came to the door, except for the black-haired and black-eyed people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were one or two white-skinned and blue-eyed Fanbang people.

The shopkeeper stood at the door and nodded to welcome the send-off, and was accompanied by a smiling face to welcome a guest in, when he saw a black horse kicking and trampling from not far away, and the person on the horse jumped to the ground neatly, and stuffed the reins into the shopkeeper: "Little Wuzi, is there a vacancy on the second floor?" ”

The shopkeeper was immediately happy when he saw the people who came: "Lu Ye, it's you, who should the little one be, yes, yes, naturally there is a vacancy, Lu Ye upstairs, please." ”

The person who came was naturally Lu Shan, he put away the horsewhip, rubbed his wrists and raised his feet and walked in, Xiao Wuzi followed Lu Shan to lead him to the second floor, and found a vacant seat by the window, and waited for Lu Shan to sit down before he smiled and asked: "Master Lu, what kind of food did you order this time?" ”

"The same old way." Lu Shan was worried about something, and he didn't deliberately order food as usual, and ordered to throw a few copper plates to Xiao Wuzi: "Hurry up." ”

Xiao Wuzi happily took the copper plate and thanked him, and went to spread the leaflet.

Lu Shan sat down here for a while, and the dishes hadn't come up yet, so he listened to Xiao Wuzi leading the guests upstairs again, and Lu Shan didn't look at it much, just thinking about what the old lady Xie told him about what the daughter-in-law was, whether it would be those young ladies Jiao, and whether he would dislike him too tall and strong.

When he looked up, he saw an acquaintance sitting there not far away talking to Xiao Wuzi, and Lu Shan was immediately overjoyed. got up and walked over, stood at the table, and smiled at the woman who was sitting: "Big sister, why are you here?" ”

It turned out that it was Qi Baozhu that Lu Shan saw, and Qi Baozhu smiled: "Brother Lu, it turned out to be you, what a coincidence." ”

"It's a coincidence." Lu Shan was happy when he looked at Qi Baozhu, and the smile on his face couldn't be stopped.

He also looked at Qi Baozhu as much as he could, and he didn't even look at a girl sitting next to Qi Baozhu. And. That girl's face was a little bit not very good.

"You haven't served the food yet." Lu Shan looked at Qi Baozhu and followed the empty table: "I don't even have tea and snacks, that's it, how about sharing a table with my eldest brother, my seat is much better than yours." ”

Qi Baozhu shook his head with a smile: "Don't bother Brother Lu." My sister and I came to dinner. I'm afraid it's a bit bad to be like this. ”

Lu Shan saw a woman sitting next to Qi Baozhu who looked a little similar to Qi Baozhu. He grinned at the woman: "It turned out to be the eldest sister, what, Xiaosheng." No, I'll give my eldest sister a salute. ”

Qi Baozhu couldn't help but be amused when he saw Lu Shan at a loss, but Qi Yinzhu, who was sitting next to Qi Baozhu, became more and more impatient between his eyebrows: "Who is your eldest sister, don't scream." ”

"Yes, you can't call me eldest sister." Qi Baozhu smiled and played a round game: "My sister is younger than Brother Lu, you can also call the big sister." ”

Lu Shan also felt that he was a little reckless, which made the little lady unhappy, and immediately apologized, and even called the eldest sister, Qi Yinzhu's face was so black that he could wring out water.

All of a sudden, Qi Yinzhu stood up and smiled at Qi Baozhu and Lu Shan: "I still have to buy something, go down for a walk first, and come back for dinner later." ”

Qi Baozhu dragged Qi Yinzhu but didn't hold it, so he could only watch her leave.

But Lu Shan was quite embarrassed: "Big sister, did I make your sister angry, I am a rough person, and I can't speak well and obediently, if there is anything bad to do, don't be like me." ”

Seeing Lu Shan so flustered, Qi Baozhu was embarrassed on his black face, and he didn't know why, so he felt a little sorry for this foolish person, and pouted: "It's okay, my sister is not in a good mood today, she has a black face with everyone, and she is not specifically targeting you." ”

"I'm relieved." Lu Shan breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled at Qi Baozhu, sat down on the table opposite Qi Baozhu and whispered: "Big sister, to tell the truth, your sister is scary with a strained face, I feel uncomfortable when I look at it, this heart can't fall down, she is not as good as the big sister, the big sister is more kind, I feel comfortable talking to the big sister." ”

Qi Baozhu blushed: "All the nonsense, my sister is fine." ”

While talking, Xiao Wuzi served the food, and was standing in front of Lu Shan's table to call Lu Shan, Lu Shan went over to see that there was a braised fish, thinking that Qi Baozhu also likes to eat fish, so he brought his plate of small fish roe to Qi Baozhu, and he ate some soup cakes with the dishes.

Thinking that the little lady introduced to him by Mrs. Xie at this time should also come, Lu Shan looked left and right, why didn't he look at the little lady wearing a silver and red skirt with a folded plum pattern embroidered on the skirt, Lu Shan thought, will the little lady not come, or really look down on him, as soon as he went upstairs and glanced at him, he ran away?

After eating, Lu Shan was a little wilted, and went over to say to Qi Baozhu to raise his feet and leave.

The dishes on Qi Baozhu's table also came up, Qi Baozhu didn't move, just waited for Yinzhu, but he didn't look at anyone left and right, and Qi Baozhu was also very angry.

Others don't know, but she knows it clearly, Qi Yinzhu is here to see her son-in-law today, because she is afraid that Qi Yinzhu will not recognize people, Qi Gu also specially called Qi Baozhu to follow, Qi Baozhu was very happy, thinking that the big brother Lu who talked well would be his brother-in-law in the future, and he was happy in his heart, but he didn't think that Qi Yinzhu came with eyes and eyes and nose and nose, and covered the folded branches and plums embroidered on the skirt with a handkerchief, and ran away as soon as he looked at people, which was obviously unhappy.

Qi Baozhu felt that Lu Shan was a very good person, and he really couldn't understand why Qi Yinzhu couldn't look down on him, and when he saw Lu Shanhuan coming happily and leaving with a chirp, he was a little depressed.

Qi Yinzhu was actually quite wronged.

She didn't mean to go down and not come up, she just wanted to take a breath when she went out, thinking that she would come up after a while to take a look, what happened was the thread pulled by Mrs. Xie, she had to give the Xie family face if she couldn't look at it, and she couldn't be too rude. However, Qi Yinzhu didn't think that Yueyang Tower would run into trouble.

Not far from Yueyang downstairs, a man selling snacks and food was dragging a green-robed scholar who was scolding, seeing that the big fist was about to smash on the scholar, the scholar was full of shame and couldn't help but pay for it, but the man still scolded unrelentingly, and the scolded scholar was a little annoyed.

If it was an ordinary time, Qi Yinzhu would not pay attention to it, but the scholar Qi Yinzhu knew it.

Moreover, Qi Yinzhu was quite impressed by that scholar.

That scholar was Xiao Gongzi, who had previously gone to the Qi family and asked to marry Yinzhu. Qi Yinzhu saw that Xiao Gongzi was at a loss, desperately beaten, and still making amends. felt that the man was a little too unforgiving, and couldn't help but go over to help Xiao Gongzi out of the siege.

She took a few steps over and asked aloud, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Gongzi looked up at Qi Yinzhu, and he was even more ashamed to lower his head and dare not speak.

On the contrary, when the man saw someone coming, he dragged Xiao Gongzi and called Qi Yinzhu to comment: "The little lady came just in time." You also give me a critique. This scholar ate several pieces of meat at my place. I asked for soup cakes and side dishes, and when I ate them, I picked them up and recognized them, but I didn't have the money to pay the bill after I wiped my mouth. This is a small business, and I am still pointing to this stall to feed the whole family, what can I do if he relies on the account, and he can't drag people away. ”

Qi Yinzhu didn't think about such a thing, she was a little puzzled, looking at Xiao Gongzi didn't look like he was paying for dinner, why didn't he give people money?

Without waiting for Qi Yinzhu to ask, Xiao Gongzi raised his head violently and explained in a panic: "It's not that I don't give money, it's really that I didn't think that the purse that I walked well on the street will be gone, I really don't know, when I waited for the money, I found that the purse containing the money had fallen, I told the eldest brother to let me look for it, but he just wouldn't let me." ”

Xiao Gongzi said that the purse was off, but Qi Yinzhu didn't think so, today is a big set, what kind of people are not there on the street, Qi Yinzhu thought that Xiao Gongzi's purse might be stolen.

"I don't care what you do, you have to pay anyway." That man also admits death, just dragging Xiao Gongzi and not letting go.

Qi Yinzhu thought about it, he couldn't let the two of them spend so much, so he asked the man: "How much is it in total?" ”

The man counted the accounts and stretched out his hand: "Thirty-eight texts." ”

Qi Yinzhu smiled, took off the purse he was carrying, counted some copper, and handed it to the man: "I'll give money for this son, you let him go first." ”

As soon as the man heard that someone had settled the bill, he was immediately happy, and immediately let go of Xiao Gongzi and Qi Yinzhu and said with a smile: "The little lady is really a kind person." ”

Qi Yinzhu didn't pay attention to him, gave the money to the man and said to Xiao Gongzi: "Son, be careful when you go out in the future, there are everyone on this street, it's hard to guarantee that nothing will happen, pay more attention when you bring money in the future." ”

Xiao Gongzi is not a fool, as soon as he heard this, he understood that it was Qi Yinzhu who reminded him that his money was stolen.

Just as he was about to thank Qi Yinzhu, he heard a woman not far away shouting: "Catch the thief, the dog thief, dare to steal the old lady's money......"

As soon as Qi Yinzhu heard the sound and looked over, Xiao Gongzi also glanced at it, and before he could figure out what was going on, he saw a thief-eyed descendant hurriedly passing by, and a woman chasing after him: "Catch the thief." ”

Xiao Gongzi chased two steps and stretched out his hand to catch the posterity, the posterity turned his head and saw that it was a weak scholar who had arrested him, and he was not afraid at the moment, and threatened Xiao Gongzi viciously: "Ge Laozi, let go of your uncle and me, otherwise ......"

Qi Yinzhu sneered, and as soon as he stretched out his hand to lift the descendant, the big-eared scraper immediately fanned it: "Otherwise, what?" ”

The descendants of this slap slapped vomited blood, and he was even more frightened and shrunk his head and didn't dare to speak.

At this time, the woman who had stolen the money also chased after her, Qi Yinzhu threw the person to the ground, and said to the woman: "Did he steal the money?" ”

The woman nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, thank you, little lady, thank you, little lady." ”

After thanking Qi Yinzhu, the woman pulled out her wallet from the hand of the descendant, counted it to see that it was not bad, and then had the heart to teach the thief a lesson.

The woman was also ruthless, and she stepped on the belly of the queen with one foot, stepped on two feet fiercely, and scolded sharply: "Dog thief, dare to steal my aunt's money, I will teach you a lesson today." ”

While beating, the woman also scolded: "What do you do not do well, why do you do this kind of stealing and touching dogs, it is really a shame, your ancestors, your children in the future have to follow you to be embarrassed......"

The woman was so spicy, and the thief who beat her begged for mercy, but Xiao Gongzi was scared.

Xiao Gongzi looked at the woman, and then at Qi Yinzhu, shuddered, and secretly relied on himself in his heart not to provoke women in the future, otherwise he would not know how to die.

Qi Yinzhu and the other women were almost done, squatted down and patted the thief, and photographed several purse wallets at once.

Xiao Gongzi looked at Xiao and saw a small purse embroidered with bamboo leaves on the ground, and immediately picked it up: "This is the purse I lost, I thought it was lost, but I didn't think it was stolen." ”

"No matter what you say, just get your purse back." Qi Yinzhu smiled at Xiao Gongzi, and looked at many people around him to see the excitement, and immediately told some familiar people on the street to report to the official, and turned the thief to the official mansion.

After that, Qi Yinzhu didn't pay attention to this matter anymore, and was about to leave after saying a word to Xiao Gongzi.

Xiao Gongzi hurriedly followed, and couldn't stop thanking Qi Yinzhu, not only to repay the money that Qi Yinzhu helped him pay, but also to invite Qi Yinzhu to dinner.

Qi Yinzhu resigned, but because Xiao Gongzi was very enthusiastic, Qi Yinzhu also knew what Xiao Gongzi's surname was.

It turns out that this Xiao Gongzi's name is Xiao Zhi, his family lives in Chengnan Village, Lotus Town, his father is a famous Xiao master in Lotus Town, he is an official of Zhishi, Xiao Zhi has an elder brother, he is the second in the family, and he has been favored since he was a child, but Xiao Zhi has a good temperament and is also easy to be content, but he has not grown crooked.
