Chapter 583: Lin Xuan's ordeal
Someone came over, and the young man looked up.
Seeing the young man's face clearly, Lu Xiaoxian was surprised: "Ji Catch? It's you! ”
The haggis soup was drunk by Jiwen of Wannian County, he didn't wear a public uniform, and he was enjoying eating.
Seeing that it was Lu Xiaoxian, Ji Wen also smiled: "It's such a coincidence, I saw you again, by the way, you said last time, what is your name Lu." ”
"Lu Xiaoxian!" Lu Xiaoxian said with a smile.
"Oh, yes, yes, it's called Lu Xiaoxian!"
When Li Si saw Ji Wen, his face changed color, and he was about to sneak away, but was discovered by Ji Wen.
Ji Wen glanced at Li Si, sneered, and said to Lu Xiaoxian: "I said last time that you were in a gang, and you still don't admit it, what else do you have to say now?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "Ji Zhu, you misunderstood." He's a thief, yes, and the last time I saw him was the first time. He took your silver bag, and I found it, and I taught him a lesson on the spot. He knew his mistake but didn't dare to return the silver bag to you, so I will do it for you! Now that he has changed his ways, please don't care about the villain, don't take this matter to heart! ”
"Repented?" Ji Wen's face was full of disbelief, and he said disdainfully: "Who knows if what you said is true or false!" ”
"If you don't believe it, you can ask Leng Qing of the Criminal Department, he can prove that I am telling the truth!" Lu Xiaoxian's face did not change his color.
Ji Wen is the fast catcher of Wannian County, and Leng Qing is the head of the criminal department. Lu Xiaoxian pulled the tiger skin as a banner, he knew that Leng Qing's name would definitely be able to suppress Ji Wen.
"Do you recognize Mr. Leng?" Sure enough, after listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Ji Wen was very surprised.
"Hmm!" Lu Xiaoxian nodded and said, "Mr. Leng and I are relatives!" You can go ask him! ”
Lu Xiaoxian casually made up a lie.
"No need, no need!" A smile appeared on Ji Wen's face: "If Gongzi Lu can make his prodigal son turn back, it can be regarded as a virtue accumulation, how can I not believe it!" ”
After that, Jiwen pointed to the bench next to him and said, "You're welcome, please take a seat!" ”
After sitting down with Li Si, Lu Xiaoxian smiled and asked, "Ji Catch, do you also like to eat haggis?" ”
Ji Wen took a sip of soup and looked in the direction of the shopkeeper: "Lu Gongzi has just arrived, but he also knows the goods, don't look at this place is inconspicuous, I dare to say that there is no haggis in the entire Chang'an City that is more authentic than this." ”
Lu Xiaoxian also looked at the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper had neatly stacked the haggis piled up like a hill on the board in two bowls, held a spoon in his hand and clicked a few times in several bowls, just see all kinds of spices pull out white, red or black lines in the air, and generally fall into the two bowls with wings, and then the big spoon turned, and the old soup was poured in. With a snort, the tempting and domineering aroma rushed into the nose.
Ji Wen asked, "Young Master Lu, what do you think of the shopkeeper's hands?"
Lu Xiaoxian nodded: "Yes, it can arouse your appetite very much, I can't wait." ”
The shopkeeper brought over the two bowls of haggis, and Lu Xiaoxian was not polite, he leaned down in front of the table and drank the soup with a snort, but his teeth were so hot that he grinned.
Ji Wen smiled: "Master Lu, this soup is in a hurry, you have to drink it slowly!" ”
Ji Wen came early, he was full and ready to settle the bill and leave first, Lu Xiaoxian took the initiative to pay the bill for Ji Wen, how could Ji Wen be willing, you two push me to let me. Li Si took advantage of the two of them to pull and quietly paid.
A bowl of haggis is not worth a few dollars, but Lu Xiaoxian's actions made Ji Wen have a good impression of him, and he said to Lu Xiaoxian: "Master Lu, what I said to you last time was polite, this time I said the truth, or the same sentence, if there is any difficulty, come to me in Wannian County!" ”
"If you have something, I must go to you, Ji Yu is fast, you go slowly!" Lu Xiaoxian politely sent Ji Wen out the door.
……
In the backyard of the medical hall, Hua Yunfeng specially prepared a room for Lin Xuan and Lu Wufang.
When Lu Xiaoxian walked into the house, he smelled a faint fragrance.
Although he hadn't seen him for a few days, Lu Xiaoxian was still stimulated by Lin Xuan's extremely ugly face. He felt that today's Lin Xuan seemed to be a little different from before, but he couldn't tell where it was different.
"Master Lu, where have you been these days, you can't even see a shadow!" Lu Wuflawless said dissatisfied.
Lu Xiaoxian smiled bitterly: "Flawless, I'm going to find a place to stay, and my legs are about to break!" ”
What else did Lu Wuxian have to say, Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly diverted the topic and asked Lin Xuan, "Did Hua Langzhong treat you?" How do you feel now? ”
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Hua Lang Zhong let me soak in a wooden barrel filled with potions, and after three hours, the concentrated poison on my body will be exhausted, and it can last for at least a month!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian opened his mouth wide and asked stupidly, "What potion?" ”
"Stone gall, alum, saltpeter, and some unknown medicinal herbs! It's a potion specially made for me in Hualang! ”
Lu Xiaoxian was completely stunned when he heard this.
From later generations, he knew in his heart that stone gall, alum, and saltpeter, although they are all substances in nature, can be strongly corrosive, and if you soak them in such a potion for three hours, you can't take off a layer of skin!
Wait a minute!
Lu Xiaoxian's eyes widened.
When he entered the door just now, Lu Xiaoxian felt that Lin Xuan seemed to be a little different, and at this moment he finally found that Lin Xuan's face and exposed skin were red and tender, just like a newborn baby.
Oh, my God!
Hua Yunfeng actually used such a method to make Lin Xuan take off a layer of skin!
Every month, he has to endure the pain and peel off a layer of skin, what kind of price does Lin Xuan have to pay in order to survive. 33
Lu Xiaoxian can imagine what kind of tribulations Lin Xuan will go through in the future.
……
For three days in a row, Li Si took Lu Xiaoxian around the streets and alleys.
When Lu Xiaoxian stepped into the courtyard of Li Si's house again, there was a big change, Lu Xiaoxian looked inside and out, and was very satisfied: "Li Si, this is like a place where people live, much stronger than the pig nest you lived in before!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian and Lu Xiaoyi moved to Li Si's house, and they slept beautifully that night.
After waking up in the morning, Li Si had already made breakfast.
"You can also cook?" Lu Xiaoxian felt very strange.
Li Si said shyly: "I can do a little, I used to be too lazy to do it alone, just make do with it, now that you live here, Master, of course I have to cook for you, Master!" ”
After breakfast, Li Si took Lu Xiaoxian to see the Imperial City, and followed Suzaku Street to the Vermilion Bird Gate, which was facing the Imperial City.
By the moat of the imperial city, the river flows slowly, the river water is leisurely and clear, holding the white clouds in his arms, as if to be cleaned.
The Imperial Dynasty was the place where the yamen of the three provinces and six departments of the imperial court worked, and there were soldiers of Jinwuwei guarding it in front of the Suzaku Gate, and it was impossible for ordinary people to enter. From time to time, you can see officials coming and going, some on foot, some arrogant, and even eunuchs who come out in a hurry.
Further inside the imperial city, that is the palace city, that is, the imperial palace.
The Imperial Palace has an unparalleled status in any dynasty, it is not only a palace where the royal family lives and handles political affairs, but also symbolizes the supreme imperial power and unshakable imperial authority.
Lu Xiaoxian silently looked at all this in front of him, Li Xian, Shangguan Wan'er, Yang Si and Qin Jun, they all lived in the imperial city, but this had nothing to do with him.
After a long time, Lu Xiaoxian said slowly to Li Si: "Okay, let's go!" ”
"Master, where are we going?" Li Si asked.
"Go to West Market!"
After that, Lu Xiaoxian took the lead in leaving.
Li Si hurriedly caught up.
When he came to the West Market, Lu Xiaoxian inquired several times and finally found the shop that Cen Shaobai bought.
Looking at the big characters of "Cen's Flower Decoration" on the plaque, Lu Xiaoxian felt a little strange, how did Cen Shaobai start a flower decoration business.
The shop is bustling with young women sitting around the table, looking at the patterns in their hands, and busily making all kinds of flower ornaments.
"There should be a combination of light and dark here, and the whole looks vibrant!"
"Isn't it like a finishing touch with a small piece of jewelry?"
"It should be a combination of flowers and silk flowers here......"
Cen Shaobai walked back and forth, pointing out these women one by one, and it didn't look like these people were customers.
Seeing Lu Xiaoxian coming into the store, Cen Shaobai hurriedly came over to greet him: "Son, why are you here?" ”
"I'm the owner, why can't I come?" Lu Xiaoxian quipped.
He casually picked up a pattern on the table, looked at it carefully, and saw that the flower ornaments in the pattern were exquisitely painted, colorful and lifelike, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Shopkeeper Cen, who painted this?" ”
"I painted it!" Cen Shaobai said lightly.
"You drew it?" Lu Xiaoxian looked at Cen Shaobai in surprise.
I usually didn't pay attention, I just thought that Cen Shaobai was good at business, but I didn't think he still had this hand.
"I have been fond of painting since I was a child, and even my husband praised me for being extremely talented in this area, but my family was poor and my parents could not afford to provide for me, so I gave up halfway." Speaking of this, Cen Shaobai smiled slightly: "It's just right to use now!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian looked at the finished products made by Cen Shaobai again, they were all fine silk satin, which were matched and embellished in various ways, which were different, but they were just right, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but feel that Cen Shaobai actually had such a good imagination.
"Yang Ke!" Cen Shaobai suddenly shouted towards the inner room.
A junior came out of the back room, he was handsome and honest, dressed cleanly, and looked very comfortable. Lu Xiaoxian felt a thick melancholy from his gaze, the kind of melancholy that made people feel palpitations.
The latter looked at Cen Shaobai and said in a soft voice: "What does the owner command?" ”
"I'm not the owner, he's the owner!" Cen Shaobai pointed at Lu Xiaoxian.
"Hello host!" The latter gave a salute to Lu Xiaoxian.
"You keep an eye here, I'll go to the backyard with the owner!" Cen Shaobai commanded.
"Don't worry, I'll say hello!"
Cen Shaobai took Lu Xiaoxian, Lu Xiaoyi and Li Si to the wing room in the backyard.
After a few people sat down, Lu Xiaoxian chatted with Cen Shaobai: "Those girls and that guy are all hired?" ”
"Those girls are all clever people around me, and they come to me to help earn some pocket money, which is not hire. The guy's name is Yang Ke, he was left by the previous shopkeeper, he has a poor background, and he has nowhere to go, so I stayed! ”
