Li Rui did not go out with his grandmother and younger brother on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but went out of the palace with the eldest prince and the three companions.

The former emperor and the current emperor actually did not restrict the princes from leaving the palace, and when Chu Rui was still the prince, he also walked around the palace with the guards. It's just that now the two princes are still young after all, neither adults nor married, and for safety reasons, the number of times they leave the palace is still very small after all.

The eldest prince is okay, his mother is the queen, and he has a lot of advantages in leaving the palace. If the second prince wants to get out of the second palace, he has to go directly to His Majesty the Emperor.

Just like this Mid-Autumn Festival night, the emperor allowed the two princes to go out of the palace to play, and allocated a lot of manpower to protect them. The second prince had much less chance of leaving the palace than the eldest prince, and he hurriedly left before it was dark.

"Your Highness, the Hu people in Xishi are nothing to look at, otherwise, let's go to Guozijian to see what to do? Otherwise, we can go to the East Market. "Zhang Changde, the eunuch of Shangyang Palace, is in a hurry, there are many people in Xishi and chaos, if His Royal Highness has a case, it will not just be a matter of losing his head.

"It's because there are so many people in the West Market that I'm going there. What we do is to dress up as the children of powerful families, and the people around us are all practicing families, and the discerning people know how to avoid it when they see it, what can't they go? Chu Chengxuan waved his hand disapprovingly and asked Zhang Changde to go down, and continued to walk to the West Market with the four companions.

"It's like that every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival. said that they came out to play, but in fact, they all looked at people. "Xiong is fat, August is still very hot, the street is full of people, and his face is full of sweat. He wiped his face with a handkerchief as he looked around hoping to find an empty spot.

But he soon discovered that there was no empty space at all, and there were people everywhere.

Qin Bin didn't care to follow the eldest prince to the West Market, he accompanied a few sisters in the family to go out shopping every year, in recent years, the sisters have reached the age of marriage, and his mother does not allow them to go out again, this year just thought about a relaxed situation, who expected to accompany the eldest prince out again.

He stopped in front of a stall and bought a few random ragdoll rabbits for the shopkeeper to pack in a cloth bag.

"What are you buying this for?" Qiu Mu glanced at it curiously, "Could it be that you already have a sweetheart?" ”

"My sweetheart is a ghost!" Qin Bin slammed on Qiu Mu's head with a violent shudder, "You are only ten years old, don't always talk about such words as your sweetheart." ”

Qiu Mu and Qin Bin were used to fighting, and although they were knocked chestnuts, they only pouted.

"Rabbits are obviously girls' play."

The Mid-Autumn Festival wants to worship the moon, and the jade rabbit is to accompany the fairy of the Moon Palace, so the things related to rabbits in the Mid-Autumn Festival are sold very well. But the rabbit is not a beast of prey after all, and it is mostly women and children who buy it.

Qin Bin is not a child, so he can only buy it for women.

"Qin Bin has three sisters in his family." Li Rui remembered the demographic composition of Qin Bin's family, "Did you buy it for Sister Ling?" ”

"My eldest sister has already married this year, and the second sister will also get married next spring. The third sister has decided on someone's house, and now she can't go out. In previous years, they all bought this rabbit to go home, but now they can't go out, so I'll buy it on my behalf. Qin Bin said with some sadness, "Why do you want to marry when you are old?" It's not like our family can't afford to support my sisters. ”

"I'm afraid that if you really don't want them to marry, they should blame you." Chu Chengxuan also has a sister-in-law, who is five years older than him, who is already married to the son of the Marquis of Lu Yang, and has set up a princess mansion outside. It's just that his sister has not been in good health since she was a child, and she has never had an heir, and she doesn't look very energetic every time she enters the palace.

If a woman has no children after marriage, her spirit is not right. This is not something that can be reversed by manpower, and the imperial doctor can only recuperate his body, not give people children.

"I think my three sisters are the three tyrants in the family, and marrying Lu is also a scourge to others." Qin Bin shrugged his shoulders, "Forget it, my eldest brother-in-law won't complain, and the second brother-in-law and brother-in-law who want to come in the future won't complain." ”

"My sister is also married, and now she is learning to feed at home every day. I eat something weird every time I come home. Qiu Mu frowned, thinking about his sister's terrible cooking. I'm going crazy, and I'm looking forward to my sister learning to do well soon. ”

"It's still Li Rui, there is only one sister in the family, and it will take more than ten years to marry Lu. It's not time to be sad yet. Xiong Ping sighed and said, "My cousin Wan Ning is also twelve years old this year, and in two years at most, I will have to consider marriage, I grew up with her since I was a child, and I am really reluctant to see her as my own sister." ”

For a while, several boys fell into the sad atmosphere of "sister marrying" and "sister marrying", only Li Rui looked up to the sky and touched his nose unnaturally.

Ah, his sister......

In front of his eyes, his cousin, who was still in swaddling clothes, had thick eyebrows, long eyes, and a wide forehead.

Ahem.

Shouldn't he also save more money and prepare an extra dowry for her when he is ready to add makeup?

His troubles in the future won't be that his sister can't get married, right?

The royal guards and the janissaries are different, with them opening the way, it only took less than an hour to get from the east market to the west market. In the center of the West Market, a huge stage was erected, with a carpet of exotic colors on the platform, and strange flowers tied on the pillars around it.

"This stage was built by the dance troupe itself?" Qiu Mu was born in a family of institutions, and he also has some understanding of civil engineering matters. "Even if it's been almost a month, right?"

"These people entered Beijing at the end of June, and they have been teaching □□ dancers and musicians in the workshop. Several large countries have now risen in the west, and I heard that many small countries in the Western Regions have been wiped out, and these people can only flee east. Many have no means of subsistence, and have nothing to produce, so they become servants and wander about. This time, my father wanted to open up the mutual market between the states and the Hu people, so he especially allowed the Hu people in the west to enter the customs. ”

Chu Chengxuan didn't think that these Hu people had anything to win over, they wanted land but no land, no money, no soldiers, and his father was willing to exchange the products of the Central Plains for their annexation, which was too generous.

Forget it, who called them the vast land in the Central Plains, and they are envied by all directions.

"This ...... It's still early to watch the show, and we've been here all the time? ”

The stage was built by Hu Ban, but the venue and the stools, chairs, and tea next to it were all in charge of the Han people who cooperated. Most of the Hu Ban people do not understand the language, and they are only responsible for performing, and the Han people who cooperate are responsible for selling tickets, tea, and snacks, and the profits are shared between the two parties.

All the tips are from Huban, which is also a source of income.

"I came out with a dozen front-row tickets." Xiong Ping happily took out a handful of red receipts. His mother, the master of Deyang County, has a wide connection, and her son and niece want to come out to watch Hu Ren's performance, so naturally she got a lot of tickets.

You must know that the tickets in the front row of Hu Ren are already hard to find.

"I don't want to sit in front and wait." The eldest prince frowned and looked at the venue where many people were sitting, although the front row was separated from the back, but sitting there to be watched was really not worthy of his own prince's demeanor.

He wasn't too interested in Hu Ren performances either.

"That'...... Let's go to the restaurant opposite to sit down and pass the time? Li Rui saw that there was a restaurant directly opposite the stage, so he pointed to the second floor. When it's almost time to start the show, we'll come down again. Ask a few eunuchs to go and occupy a seat first. ”

In fact, there are a number of people in the front row, and the people who sell tickets are not fools.

"Just according to what Li Rui said." Chu Chengxuan was also troubled by the noise, and hurriedly nodded his head.

Several Zhan Shi from the palace immediately took the guards into the store first, took the palace sign, and chose a seat near the window to sit.

As for how sincere and frightened the shopkeeper was when he saw the palace card, the guests in this restaurant saw such a group of sons and daughters sitting by the window in the hall, and there was a powerful man behind him, how rare it was, so there was no need to say more.

"Don't you have a seat?" Chu Chengxuan sat by the window not very happily.

It's still become a crowd for onlookers.

"There are people in the seat, and now they are all here to see Hu Wu, and there are many adults in the court, so it is not appropriate to stir up the people." The Zhan Shi of Shangyang Hall was personally selected by the queen and was very cautious. "What's more, the location on the second floor is not high, and it is best to look at the opposite side. Your Highness is going down all of a sudden anyway, so why rob someone else's seat? ”

"That's what I said, we're out to play, and it's not good to disturb other people's Yaxing." The eldest prince nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew the Tao.

This Zhan Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, the eldest prince has a gentle temper, which is a blessing for them as palace people.

The dim sum in this restaurant is still good, and there are a few small things that have not been seen in the palace. The eunuch who specially tasted the food tasted a little bit of the same first, and there was nothing to do after a stick of incense, and a few companions began to taste it.

As for Chu Chengxuan? He never touched the food outside the palace.

"In fact, looking at this restaurant, the location is no worse than below, why do you still have to sit below?" Although Xiong Ping begged for a ticket, he was not interested in sitting in front of the stage at all.

"After all, the location of the restaurant is limited, and the location of this window is still occupied by us with a brand. What's more, the orchids are charming, sitting in the front row, you can just see their moving waists and breasts, and naturally many people want to lean on the left to see closely. ”

A eunuch laughed and accosted. What he said was reasonable, but a eunuch also said something about "moving waist and crisp breasts", which couldn't help but make people laugh, Qin Bin couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Do you dare to let people take the master's position? Did you eat the gall of an ambitious leopard? You want the master to pay the deposit in advance, and the master also paid it, and the master specially called the family to say hello in advance, but the master came, and you told the master that the seat was gone? Liu Hong's slap almost missed the shopkeeper's face.

"It's not that the little ones are open to money and give their seats to others for a little selfish gain, but that the identities of those masters are very valuable, and the little ones can't do anything. The small one is just a shopkeeper, and he always has to ......."

"Yo, what? It turns out that the identity of the master is not valuable, can you let a cat and a dog casually? Liu Hong's face trembled with anger, turned around and went upstairs to see who was so "precious" that he could take the seat of the first person regardless of the deposit and rules!

The shopkeeper saw that the eldest son of the Liu family rushed upstairs, and hurriedly shouted:

"Hey, my ancestors, what are you still watching! Stop! ”

His heart is about to jump out, although I don't know which of those people in the palace is the lord of the palace, but since people said that it was a micro-service, they asked him to keep it secret, and something was going to happen in his restaurant, should this restaurant be opened in the future?

Do you want his life?

"I want to see who is bullying others!"

Liu Hong gradually ran upstairs with a strong momentum, and his throat broke the sky, shaking everyone on the second floor to look at him.

The sentence "bullying others" caused Li Rui's bad memories. He turned his head and looked at Liu Hong, and suddenly screamed in his heart.

'The road is narrow! 'Liu Hongji.

'The road is narrow! 'Li Rui.

"Fat Li, it turned out to be you!"

This Liu Hongjian is not someone else, it is the son of Shangshu of the former official who fought with him a few years ago, knocked him down from the upper floor, and almost broke the phase.

It's just that Liu Shangshu didn't perform well when he was in office, and he gave way to his uncle after only three years, and now Lord Liu is the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and the official has been demoted by two levels, and he is not an official in the Ministry of Officials.

Maybe it was because he beat Li Rui with his front foot, and Li Rui's uncle with his back foot squeezed out his father's position.

Fortunately, the two have little intersection on weekdays, and Liu Hongjian is more than three years older than Li Rui, and as he gets older, he is no longer as arrogant as he was back then.

It's just that after all, he is still the temper of the young master in the capital, and he can't tolerate sand in his eyes, and he can't change it.

"I'll just say that the shopkeeper actually dared to let people the seat I set first, it turned out that he was afraid of the eldest son of the Xinguo Mansion......" Liu Honggradually took his family and walked to the table he had booked, "Do you know the truth that Lu Dao comes first and arrives later?" You are still Li Guogong's nephew...... What are you doing? ”

The two guards of the eldest prince stretched out their hands to stop Liu Hongjian and prevent him from taking another step forward.

If he dared to move forward, he would have to twist his neck off.

Liu Hong gradually heard that the generals of the Li family were all fierce generals on the battlefield brought out by the old prince, and any one of them was a one-enemy ten. It's just that he didn't think that this family would be so arrogant that he would dare to stop him as the son of an official eunuch.

His cousin is the mother of the palace, and a subordinate dares to do something to the emperor's relatives, is this shameless and lifeless?

Chu Chengxuan, as the eldest prince, when was he pointed at his nose and scolded "bullying" in the palace? He saw that this stupid idiot was about to go haywire, and immediately wanted to command the guards to drag him out of the hall and throw him downstairs.

Who is impatient with him chattering next to him?

Li Rui sat on the chair with a complicated expression, and the face of Liu Hongjian in front of him was strangely overlapped with Chu Yingyuan, who was stubbornly holding his neck and asking for a lantern.

He didn't know why Lu Dao had such an association, but this association obviously touched him, and made him more than just sit there.

Li Rui saw that Chu Chengxuan had ordered the forbidden army to let people throw him out, so he hurriedly got up to stop him, bowed slightly and said to the eldest prince sitting on the main seat: "Your Highness, this person has some grievances with me in the past, I want to ask Your Highness for a favor, I will handle this matter, can I?" ”

The eldest prince has always felt guilty about Li Rui since Chu Yingyuan's incident, and always wants to repay him. It's just that Li Rui and his uncle have the same temperament, and they treat the royal family with 120,000 respects, and they never want to say a word of unwillingness, but they have been reluctant to go, and they can't find a chance to untie this knot.

Now Li Rui rarely begged him in a low voice, and he was happy to sell this face to Li Rui, just to teach this kid a lesson with the confidence of the guards, and he still had to read this face to this companion.

After all, Li Rui's face is also related to his face.

"Well, that's up to you. If you want to beat or scold, you can do it. The eldest prince turned his head out of the window and signaled that he didn't care.

"Your Royal Highness is serious, this is the son of Lord Liu's family, and he is the cousin of Concubine Liu Xian, where do I dare to beat and scold him." Li Rui was afraid that the eldest prince would insult him too much, so he hurriedly endorsed this first.

“…… Oh. ”

No wonder Li Rui asked for this grace. If it's him, it's really hard to take this one.

Li Rui got the permission of the eldest prince, got up and walked towards Liu Hongji, who was stopped.

The three companions whispered a discussion on the table.

Xiong Ping: "Why did he call Li Rui Li Fat?" ”

If Li Rui is fat, then am I not obese? No, I'm just a little chubby! Chubby! ’

Qiu Mu: I heard from his brother that his brother was so fat that he could even walk and breathe, but after he was 12 years old, he practiced kung fu with archery and horses, and then he lost weight.

Qin Bin and Xiong Ping's eyes widened, and they shouted in unison, "What? ”

"I knew that I had already practiced more archery and horses." Xiong Ping looked down at his bulging belly and found that he couldn't see his toes, and his heart was even more sad.

"Started practicing at the age of twelve? Isn't that just two years? Qin Bin thought that he had been picked under the horse by Li Rui's brute force again and again, and he couldn't wait to question where his father got the conclusion that "you are a good seedling for martial arts" back then.

It's only been two years of practice! He's been practicing for ten years!

Didn't you lie to him about practicing martial arts?

"What do you think will happen to Li Rui? Beat him up? Qiu Mu looked at Li Rui's back curiously.

"Li Rui is introverted, probably not. I think I'll humiliate him with words. Xiong Ping twisted a bean and stuffed it into his mouth, feeling that the taste was endless, and grabbed several more in a row and put them in his mouth.

Hmm, my mother said, "Eat beans, grow meat", is he eating less?

Forget it, let's go back and practice archery to lose weight.

When Liu Hong was getting angry, he wished that Li Rui could come out and let him beat him, but Li Rui really came out, but he didn't know what to do.

He looked at Li Rui, who was taller and stronger than him in front of him, where could he still find a little bit of the "fat man Li" back then?

If you say that you do it now, he may not be the one who is afraid of suffering.

Back then, he felt that this kid had a lot of strength, and if it hadn't taken advantage of his slow and stupid movements, he might not have been able to beat him. Now that he's no longer obese, it's ......

"Li Rui, you occupied someone else's seat, and you didn't even apologize, do you want to be embarrassed? Is this how the reputation of the Faith Kingdom is ruined? Liu Hong gradually bit his voice heavily on the "Xinguo Mansion", so that all the guests on the second floor looked over.

Nowadays, most of the people who can sit on the second floor of this restaurant are the seats of the rich and noble families. It is not easy to get tickets for the front row of the stage below, and the back row and the peddler's pawn sit together and lose their status, so the restaurants on both sides have become the best choice.

Liu Hong gradually bit Li Rui to death with one mouth, "bullying others", which can not be described as cunning.

Sure enough, Li Rui frowned, feeling that it was really stupid for him to connect him with Chu Yingyuan.

Chu Yingyuan never said, "Do you want to be faced", people came up directly to call their faces, and they said it when they couldn't breathe.

"Brother Liu, I didn't mean to steal the seat you set down first, but I had to act like this for a reason. A few of us will go down as soon as the Hu Opera starts, can we bother Brother Liu to wait on the side first, and when the Hu Opera starts, we will return this son to you? ”

Li Rui did not explain the identity of the eldest prince, but he still persuaded him.

No matter which prince it is, he can only give in in front of the eldest prince.

"What is it that makes you sit here so much time? Can't you go down and wait in the front row? ”

When Liu Hong heard that Li Rui could get a ticket in the front row that his father couldn't even get, he couldn't help but feel deeply jealous in his heart.

I heard that now Li Guogong is amazingly powerful and deeply trusted by His Majesty, and someone must have begged his family to give him a vote.

Villain, Yu Xing, hum!

"I hope Brother Liu is magnanimous, I will definitely come to the door another day to apologize, this time I have a few other friends here, if it is only me, I will definitely ......pay it back" Li Rui arched his hand angrily and softened first.

Although this Liu Hongjian is a gentleman, he is not a gentleman who does not understand the color of his eyes.

Back then, he dared to beat Li Rui because Li Mao had not yet gained power, and he was just a nephew of Duke Xinguo.

Now the same scene, the same situation, but he doesn't dare to do it anymore.

"Forget it, seeing that you have friends, I won't lose your face. I'll just wait downstairs. Liu Hong looked at the young man sitting in the main seat in confusion, shook his head and retreated first.

"It seems that Li Rui has softened?" Qin Bin put down his chopsticks in disbelief. "What's that man's whereabouts?"

"We are away now, more things are better than less, Li Rui did the right thing." Zhan Shi of Shangyang Hall nodded approvingly and praised Li Rui. "It's a steady child."

He forgot that Li Rui was also a hot-blooded young man who pressed the prince of Xiangcheng to the ground on the street and beat him fatly.

Li Rui returned to his seat, and the eldest prince tapped the table lightly with his fingers, shook his head and said, "You don't have to let him." ”

With his identity here, the Liu family kid can only bow his head and slip away obediently.

"I want to try it, change the location, change the person, change the method, will the result be different." Li Rui said something that no one could understand.

"Well, whatever you like." Chu Chengxuan looked at the night scene outside the window indifferently.

The stage is lit up everywhere, illuminating the whole stage like a dreamy fairyland.

Such a beautiful night is just a small thing.

Liu Hong gradually sat downstairs and waited for Li Rui and them to leave, although he felt really ugly on his face, but the other people also occupied the seats, and he also said good things, and he didn't know which family the young men sitting on the road were the sons, and the sons of the Xinguo Mansion would never be the peddlers and pawns.

The sound of gongs and drums finally sounded.

When Liu Hong gradually watched Li Rui respectfully follow the young man led by him downstairs, he thought of a possibility in his head.

Five people, the older boy does not go ahead, but the younger one takes the lead......

Li Rui is also going to give up the main seat......

Li Rui relented to him and told him to wait a little longer......

Li Rui didn't know what Liu Hongji was thinking at this time, he and Xiong Ping both saw the traces of their own family on the second floor, so they went down with the eldest prince to meet them.

Liu Hong gradually stood up and squinted at them going out without looking back.

The young man at the head did not stop to thank him, nor did he feel that there was anything wrong with him waiting here. But the few young men behind all arched their hands to him embarrassedly.

Who is a person who is born to be the pride of the sky, and everyone must bow to him?

Who is used to other people's concessions and doesn't care at all what others are thinking?

Who would go out with so many guards?

His eyes widened, and he turned his head sharply to look at Li Rui.

He didn't have to compromise like that.

Li Rui seemed to notice Liu Hongji's gaze, and glanced back at him before walking out of the door.

Liu Hong gradually smiled at him and made a gesture.

The mouth shape is:

- "Thanks. ”

Thanks, I didn't lose a bigger face.

Thanks, I didn't cause trouble at home.

Li Rui seemed to understand what Liu Hong gradually thanked him, smiled and waved his hand, and shook his head at him.

At that moment, Li Rui was in a good mood, and felt that there seemed to be some stubborn depression that had finally dispersed.

Even the bright moon in the sky is a little brighter.

The author has something to say: In fact, if you are really good friends with you, you are also the most righteous person.

Small Theatre:

Forget it, who called them the vast land in the Central Plains, and they are envied by all directions.

Hu Ren: There is a lot of money in the Central Plains, people are stupid, come quickly!
