In autumn, the sun is shining. There are a few thin clouds hanging on the distant blue sky, and the extremely clear color is always refreshing to watch.

In the morning, the overseer Leng Qingtang left Dongchang very early and entered the palace to participate in the morning dynasty.

Gu Yunxi began to clean up the house after breakfast.

Last night, there was a gust of autumn wind, and a layer of yellow leaves fell in the yard. When he got up in the morning, Sun Bing, a factory servant who was waiting for the yard, swept the entire yard with a wicker broom.

Gu Yunxi was going to go to the street to buy some sweet orange jam, lotus root flour and chestnut kernels. In a few days, it will be the grand Double Ninth Festival in Dayi, and she will use these materials to make Chongyang cakes and Jiupin soup.

Push the door and go out, and first see another layer of fallen leaves in the yard. Autumn is like this, the slightest wind blows and leaves fall off the ground, and you can't sweep it clean.

Gu Yunxi used to work in the Youzhu Tribute Courtyard in the past, and he couldn't see a little mess. Sun Bing went to other places to do his work, she didn't want to trouble him anymore, so she picked up a broom and started sweeping from the corner of the yard, and put the dead leaves into the bamboo dustpan, ready to go out of the south courtyard and pour it out.

I met Xiao Xiaoshen, who was dressed in casual clothes, with a package rolled under his armpit, looking mysterious.

Gu Yunxi looked at him with a dustpan, and saw that he was wearing a dark red slanted narrow-sleeved shirt, with Tengyun auspicious patterns embroidered with dark silk threads on the placket and cuffs, a wide waist of dark auspicious clouds around his waist, and dark red trousers tied in thin-soled brocade boots. On the outside of the body, he was covered with a plain white straight sleeveless robe, and his head was only tied with a ribbon in the middle of the bun, and he did not wear a hat.

Usually used to seeing him wearing official clothes, but suddenly changed his clothes, the whole person was chic, adding a lot of heroism.

"Brother Xiaoshen, what are you doing here?" Gu Yunxi asked puzzled.

"I also brought you a set, hurry up and change it!"

Xiao Xiaoshen didn't explain, and directly took out the package under his armpit and stuffed it into Gu Yunxi's arms.

"What are you doing? I'm going to take out the trash! ”

"Oh, hurry up!"

Xiao Xiaoshen snatched the dustpan and threw it directly to the corner of the courtyard wall, and handed the package to her.

Gu Yunxi opened it and saw that it was a set of dark and green men's clothes.

Xiao Xiaoshen said at this time:

"My clothes, you should try them on. At noon today, Zhao blocked the head and invited a few heads to eat, and it would be more convenient to change into casual clothes. Hurry up, everyone is waiting for you. ”

"The Overseer hasn't come back yet......"

"Every time he enters the court, he has to come back at noon, it's okay, let's go early and return early. Besides, didn't he tell me to take you out more the day before yesterday! ”

"Okay......" Gu Yunxi looked at his clothes again and nodded reluctantly.

It's good to go out for a walk, just in time to bring some ingredients back with your hands-

Seeing that Gu Yunxi only promised not to act, Xiao Xiaoshen was a little unhappy and muttered:

"Hey! I can say it in advance, I saw that you don't have men's clothes except for Fanwei's clothes, so I kindly gave you my clothes, I don't mean anything else. Besides, this dress is completely new, and it was brought by someone from my hometown last year. I wear official clothes all year round, how many times can I change into casual clothes? ”

"You're so long-winded! I didn't say anything, just put it on! You wait! ”

Gu Yunxi crooked his mouth at him and grimaced, turned around and entered the South Courtyard.

Soon the man came out of the house. When the clothes are changed, it is obvious hypertrophy. Xiao Xiaoshen pinched his chin, looked at it repeatedly, and shook his head:

"Sister Yunxi, it's time for you to eat more!"

"Don't be poor, come and help me!"

Gu Yunxi stretched out his arms to him, looking helpless for help.

Xiao Xiaoshen helped her roll up her cuffs, bent down again, and helped her tuck her long trouser legs into soap boots. Looking at it again, except for the thinness and loose clothes, the overall is quite neat.

Gu Yunxi followed Xiao Xiaoshen out of the gate of the East Factory. Zao Wou-ki, the head of the third team, Ai Qing of the first team, Bai Qiying of the fourth team, Jiang Xiong of the seventh team, and Yuan Qian of the tenth team have already gotten together, and everyone is in civilian clothes.

Seeing Gu Yunxi and Xiao Xiaoshen coming, Zao Wou-ki's white and fat round face smiled like Maitreya Buddha.

This man is a man of temperament and is easy to make friends. In the past few days of living in Dongchang, Gu Yunxi is quite familiar with other places.

"Yun Guan'er, Uncle Zhao will take you to a good place to eat today!"

"Uncle Zhao, what day is it today, why did you remember to have a treat?" Gu Yunxi looked at him with a smile and asked.

"I'm telling you, it's my birthday. Yesterday, the brothers opened a small game and let me play money, I won a lot, this money is used as the meal money for the treat, I repay everyone! ”

This Zhao blocks his head, can be a man, and can also settle accounts-

He looked at the people present, turned the two solid cast steel massage balls with one hand, and waved the other hand to greet everyone: "Now that everyone is together, let's go and go to Baoyue Tower!"

Gu Yunxi looked left and right, and asked in surprise: "Uncle Zhao, how many more are there to block the head?"

"You have to keep someone to look after the house, don't you? There are also people who can't go because of official business. Let's go first, come back and bring them something good, go, go! ”

Zao Wou-Ki gave an order, and the group marched towards the "Luoyin" street in the north.

Nak Eun Street is the most prosperous and lively market boundary in Gyeonggi. The street is very wide, lined with various merchants, plaques and flags. There are also scattered small vendors on the roadside hawking, and the people are noisy and noisy.

It was still early now, and the group walked around the street for a while, accompanying Gu Yunxi to buy everything she wanted to buy. The sun was in the middle of the day, and it was almost time for lunch.

At the corner of the street, there is a gorgeous restaurant in the open triangle boundary, and the plaque "Baoyue Building" hangs on the main entrance.

Look closer, only to see the carved eaves vermilion as the sun in the sky, there are flying clouds and auspicious birds to paint the building, the railing of the bamboo cui undertakes the carved diamond-shaped veins of the window, and the curtain of the silk yarn is hung high on the door. The restaurant is three floors high, with a table on the first floor, a private seat on the second floor, and a guest room on the third floor.

As soon as everyone entered the restaurant, the shopkeeper came over to say hello.

This person's surname is Gong, in his forties, wearing a royal blue brocade robe with a golden hundred blessings, wearing a hat of the same color, a bright yellow brocade on the brim, and a piece of jade with a very moist head on his forehead.

The few big stalls who wanted to come to the East Factory were frequent visitors to this restaurant, and when they saw Zao Wou-Ki leading everyone in, the palace shopkeeper hurriedly leaned over and smiled.

"Zhao blocked his head, the villain is polite. You are ......" looked up and down at Zao Wou-ki, who was dressed in casual clothes, and the palace shopkeeper looked surprised.

"Bring your brothers over for a drink, it's too eye-catching for many people to wear official uniforms!"

Zao Wou-Ki replied with a smile, turning the massage ball, shyly shyly with a slightly chubby belly:

"Lao Gong, find us a private room!"

The palace shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "It's unfortunate that the masters came today, the private rooms upstairs are all full, why don't the villains find a quiet place for the masters to drink downstairs?"

"How's that going to work!" When Zao Wou-Ki heard this, he immediately retracted his smile and glared:

"It's so noisy downstairs, how can our brother talk? You go upstairs to find a clean private room, drive the people inside, what is there to do for you Zhao Ye! ”

"This ......" the palace treasurer is embarrassed.

Look at the people brought by Zao Wou-ki, which one is not the head of the East Factory with a head and a face, where can he afford to open a store?

After hesitating for a moment, the palace shopkeeper turned his worries into joy:

"Don't worry, there is a spacious private room upstairs with two tables, and now it is occupied by a son, who is drinking alone in it. If the masters were willing to deign to share a private room with the prince, the villain would go up and ask him if he could give up a table for the masters. ”

"Alright, okay, so be it! He's alone anyway! Zao Wou-Ki waved his hand: "Go quickly, we have dinner and have important things to do!"

"Yes, yes! A few masters, please upstairs, please. ”

The palace boss gave up his hand again, led Zao Wou-Ki and the others to the second floor, and walked to the door of a private room on the left side of the stairs.

The door was closed, and no movement could be heard in the private room. The palace boss knocked on the door, and there was a clear voice in the response: "Who?"

Listening to the voice is a young man.

"Excuse me, the villain is the owner of the restaurant, and I have something important to discuss with the son, can I let the villain in and talk?"

“…… In! It seemed that after thinking about it for a while, the people inside agreed.

The palace boss opened the door with a small crack, and his whole body was almost squeezed into the private room.

Gu Yunxi waited outside with everyone. There was a faint sound of conversation in the private room, and after a short time, the young man's voice just now rose an octave:

"How many of my people drink? The silver has been given to you for a while, what more will you do? Get your guests elsewhere and get out of here! Don't disturb my interest! ”

There was a crack in the door again, and the palace boss hid out in disgrace. Seeing Zao Wou-ki's helpless expression, he had to make a smiling face:

"A few masters, please go downstairs, the villain will definitely find a clean place for the masters......"

"His grandmother's is unreasonable!"

Without waiting for Zao Wou-Ki to speak, Xiao Xiaoshen became angry first.

For this meal, he didn't eat breakfast, and specially made room for his stomach so that he could decorate more good things at lunch.

Now that he hadn't eaten yet, he was so hungry that his eyes were full of stars, and he happened to hear the people in the private room shouting loudly for them to get out, Xiao Xiaoshen couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and kicked open the door of the private room.

"Hey! Don't be ashamed of yourself, you have a lot of money! If you have silver, you want this room! Fuck off—"

Xiao Xiaoshen shouted, and rushed into the private room first, and the other blockers also rushed in, scolding and scolding. Gu Yunxi was squeezed to the end of the line by everyone because of his short stature. I couldn't see the faces of the people in the private room, but I heard him shout in an indignant voice:

"Relying on the large number of people, you are doing such nonsense?! What if I refuse to give up the space?! ”

The noise was too loud, and other private rooms opened their doors one after another, and some guests probed their brains and came out to see the excitement. The palace shopkeeper kept clenching his fists, almost begging:

"Ladies and gentlemen! It all depends on the thin face of the villain, there is something to say, something to say! ”

Gu Yunxi had a hunch that the form was not good. The purpose of several of them coming to the restaurant was to eat, and they had to rush back to Dongchang after eating. And the most important thing, today is Zhao Baotou's birthday, he should be happy, there is no need to lose his interest because of a little quarrel.

Gu Yunxi squeezed into the private room and strung to the front of the group.

When she looked closely, she found that this private room was indeed not small. Two large round tables with ten seats were placed inside, and there was a considerable distance between them. In addition, there is also a set of low cabinets of golden silk nanmu and a four-fold screen of maids on the west wall of the private room.

There was only one young man in the large space, sitting at the top of the round table by the window. In front of him, there was a pot of wine, a plate of peanuts, a plate of sliced beef in sauce, and a white jade folding fan painted with gold.

He was dressed in a clean, narrow-sleeved white robe with an open white sleeveless jacket.

This man was no more than twenty years old, but he was born extremely handsome. A beautiful face is as angular as a carving, and there is a radiant luster flowing in the fairness of the skin. The two sword eyebrows are clear and tall, the bridge of the nose is jade, and the thin lip flaps are as rosy as if they were greased.

He wore his black hair hanging haphazardly, only in a bun in the middle of his head, and tied it casually with a moon-white ribbon. A window lattice opened behind him, and a breeze penetrated through the crack, and the flowing strands of hair and slender straps swirled and floated in the wind.
