After the snow, the capital is full of silver, white and boundless, and the shop guys wearing black jackets, black cotton pants and white felt hats in the back streets of the alleys have gone out to clear the snow with shovels and brooms, and the streets that have been deserted for two days have begun to be lively again.

Two horses stopped in front of the Yipinxiang Restaurant.

Someone from the porter immediately greeted them and led the two of them with a smile on their faces.

The man in black clothes who walked in front made an inviting gesture and took the lead in walking into the hall, and the man in white behind him walked in with elegant steps unhurriedly.

One is short and vulgar, the other is tall and thin and elegant, which is particularly eye-catching.

The two went up to the private room on the second floor and sat by the window.

"Brother Situ hasn't been to the capital for thirty years, right?" The short, fat man in the dark robe asked in a deep voice.

A servant came in and served tea to the two of them.

"Yes, it's been thirty years." After the little guy retreated, the corners of the white-clothed man's mouth were slightly upturned, and his slender fingers were holding a bowl of blue soup, reflecting his handsome face with clear water chestnut horns, and the white jade wrench on his fingers was shining softly in the white skylight, he was twenty-seven or eighteen years old at first glance, looking at the slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and the vicissitudes of life at the bottom of his eyes, it seemed that he had reached the age of not yet.

He raised his hand and pushed open the corner of the window, and what greeted him was still the street paved with bluestone pavement, or those shops, thirty years passed in a hurry, and a qiē had long been a matter of people, and the world had changed.

Suddenly, a cold wind hit.

Then the window was gently closed, and the wide cuffs embroidered with gold-rimmed orchids flew in the wind and fell silently in an instant.

The fresh fragrance of plants and trees seems to permeate the elegant wings.

The man in Xuanyi smiled silently, and then lowered his voice and said: "The hidden dragon is out of the water at the end of the abyss, and the flying dragon is in the sky, thirty years, and it is finally time for us to do it." ”

Xu was a little excited, touched the tea bowl in his hand, the clear tea soaked the cuffs of Xuanyi, he unhurriedly rolled up the cuffs to wipe them, and the flower-shaped marks on his arms loomed.

"Now the Liang seems to be calm, but in fact the waves are surging, on the surface, the ministers respect the prince, with the increasing power of the princes, in fact, they have long been divided into three factions, although the prince has the support of the Guogong Mansion behind him, but his talent is mediocre, and it is difficult to achieve great things." Situ Kong gently put down the tea bowl, and analyzed with a solemn expression, "The remaining four princes and eight princes, at present, the four princes are the most popular, and with the support of General Li and the mother concubine, they have almost mastered nearly half of the strength of the Great Liang, but I heard that the emperor does not like him, and he is both useful and guarded, and the eighth prince is talented, and in recent years, he has the most sacred heart, and often accompanies him, although there is the secret support of the ministers behind him, but there is no strong backer, just by marrying with the Yongding Marquis Mansion, he cannot compete with the prince and the four princes, that is to say, Among the three factions, the four princes are the strongest, the eight princes are the weakest, and the crown prince is in the middle. ”

"Although Brother Situ is not in the capital, he knows the situation in Daliang better than anyone else, and the lord really didn't see the wrong person." The man in Xuanyi chuckled, "In other words, as long as we get rid of the four princes with the hands of the crown prince and let them fight with each other, we will benefit from the fishermen again, and the restoration plan will be successful." ”

"Having said that, but the Eighth Prince can't be underestimated, right now, what we have to do is to stop his marriage with the Yongding Marquis Mansion." Situ Kong said, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Eliminate the enemy first and get rid of the weak, let's let the Eighth Prince turn against the Yongding Marquis Mansion, and then slowly deal with the Four Princes." ”

"Brother Situ is really strategic, with Brother Situ's talent, he will definitely be discovered by Grandpa Guo soon, and Grandpa Guo will definitely recommend Brother Situ to the prince, as long as Brother Situ comes to the prince's side and becomes the prince's staff, it will be under our control." The more the man in Xuanyi spoke, the more excited he became, as if he saw the glory of the coming day, and hurriedly asked, "Then when will we do it?" ”

"Mufu Sanniang will be out of the cabinet the day after tomorrow, without further ado, inform the eyeliner in the Eighth Prince's Mansion, let's do it tonight." A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Situ Kong's eyes, and he said word by word, "As soon as Mufu Sanniang died, and there were dead soldiers from the Eighth Prince's Mansion to testify, then the Eighth Prince would naturally be difficult to distinguish, so his relationship with Mufu Erniang would naturally come to an end." ”

"Wonderful." The man in Xuanyi clapped his hands and praised, "With Brother Situ here, the restoration of my Great Zhou Dynasty is just around the corner." ”

It's night.

The moonlight is like water.

In the flower hall of Qingxin Garden, there are many people and laughter.

The fire is rising.

There is a long deer leg and leg of mutton hanging on the round fruit wood shelf, and from time to time someone holds a soft-bristled brush, brushing honey and various spices on it, and the charcoal fire on the fruit charcoal below gently licks the fragrant delicacy, and from time to time there is oil dripping down, making a sizzling sound.

On the three delicate rosewood tables, there are red plums in full bloom, flickering red candles, and mellow red wines.

At the screen, there is also a pleasant sound of the piano softly coming out.

Outside, the north wind is bleak, but inside the house is the fragrance of flowers, meat, and wine, which are intertwined layer by layer, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

Mu Yunchao was oblivious to this fantastic atmosphere, drunk before drinking, squinted at the pair of beautiful people around him, and couldn't help but feel envious, saying that the second brother never forgot Wanyue, and he married the second sister-in-law in front of him on the order of his grandmother, but now, seeing the two of them happy, there is no gap, it can be seen that it is really easy for a man to forget a woman.

Looking down at the tableware in front of him again, he was a little embarrassed, stretched out his neck and looked at Shen Qingli with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, teaching Mu Yunting who was sitting beside her with a clear eye, seeing Mu Yunting's frowning appearance, he couldn't help but laugh: "Second sister-in-law, you can spare our two brothers!" It's just a barbecue, you don't have to be so troublesome, as long as you can eat it in your mouth. ”

This is the flavor snack of Jingzhou?

It's too much trouble!

It's better to eat it directly with your hands.

Shen Qingli took the knife with a clear eye, cut the barbecue meat brought over by the peach branch into small slices, then forked it up with a fork, dipped it in the seasoning in the small plate, turned his head and put it in Mu Yunting's mouth, and said reluctantly, "Eating is about the atmosphere and process, not just filling your stomach, you see, with flowers, wine and music as a companion, how can you grasp it with your hands?" Eat slowly with a knife and fork in this way to get the taste! Shizi, don't you say? ”

Like these people, she is tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the world, and she will go somewhere to get some rare food to entertain guests for a while, so she came up with such a trick to let them try the atmosphere of eating Western food, and make it fresh.

Mu Yunting chewed the fragrant and tender mutton slices in his mouth, and kept nodding in response: "Yes, in such an atmosphere, how can you eat it with your hands?" It's easy to eat with a practical knife, come, fourth brother, I'll teach you. As he spoke, he smiled disappetically at Shen Qingli, clumsily pinching the small knife and fork with his big hands, and cutting the meat slices on the plate, "Look, isn't this just cut off?" ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard a loud bang, perhaps he was too hard, and the knife in his hand was broken in half by him, and the plate containing the meat was also broken in half.

"Gee, why are you pushing so hard?" Shen Qingli said angrily, seeing Mu Yunting's innocent look again, he felt angry and funny, he was just cutting a piece of meat, as for the heavy hand?

He has a grudge against this knife and a plate!

"Hahaha!" Mu Yunchao, who was sitting opposite, slapped the desk with both hands, bent over with a smile, and said with a breathless smile, "It turns out that there are still things in this world that the second brother can't do, and I laughed to death." ”

Everyone in the room couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.

Momozhi and Mu An couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly stepped forward to clean up the mess on the table.

Mu Yunting looked at the knife in his hand that was bent by him, and then looked at Mu Yunchao, who was smiling forward and backward on the other side, and couldn't help but say with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned: "What are you kid laughing at?" I won't, I have your second sister-in-law to teach me slowly, you have studied for a long time, I don't think you can even hold a fork. ”

"Second sister-in-law, don't blame me for not enjoying the process of eating, I'm so hungry that I can't take care of it so much, so I just start eating." Mu Yunchao easily stopped laughing, grabbed the meat on the plate with chopsticks, and ate it in a big gulp, nodding his head incessantly, "The taste is really good, it's much more delicious than directly stir-fried or stewed." ”

Shen Qingli saw him directly attack, and immediately felt speechless.

These silver knives and forks, but she specially drew sketches, went to the jewelry store to customize, and tossed back and forth several times before making these sets of standard Western utensils.

Unexpectedly, they didn't want to use it at all.

Mu Yunting also pushed the knife and fork aside, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, touched Shen Qingli's resentful gaze, and said in a low voice: "Don't look at me like that, I really didn't mean to, your knife and fork are too small, I really can't hold it, otherwise, you can change a kitchen knife for me?" ”

couldn't help but make up for the scene of him cutting meat with a kitchen knife and eating it, and then pursed his lips and smiled: "Become a heart, you." ”

The woman in the candlelight, half-hated and half-smiling, looked at him in the flower branches, there was a special style, he could see God for a while, could it be in a dream?

Why is this scene so strange and beautiful?

Shen Qingli saw that he was looking at himself without blinking, and he was busy lowering his head to cut the meat, embarrassed to look up at him again.

Mu Yunchao coughed twice: "Second brother, if you look at it again, I can't sit still." ”

I want to see my daughter-in-law and wait to go back to the house to see enough.

Looking at him in front of him, are you pushing him away?

Mu Yunting realized his gaffe at this time, and hurriedly retracted his gaze in embarrassment, and then glanced at Mu An calmly: "Mu An, pour me a glass of water." ”

Mu An smiled and retreated, just walked to the door, but he bumped into a person in his arms, one staggered and didn't stand firmly, he actually fell to the ground, and before he had time to get angry, he saw the wall-like figure jump directly over him, and a sharp and loud voice came from his ear: "Shizi, young lady, no, an assassin has entered the mansion!" ”R1152
