Mo Chapter 19
It was still early, and there was no major event, so Sun Luyuan and Sun Lumin walked slowly on the street.
This street is called Jing'an Street, and it is the busiest street in all of Kyoto. Many dignitaries and nobles live in this vicinity, many famous shops are also opened here, and a large number of small merchants and vendors set up stalls here. So people come and go every day, so it's not lively.
Sun Lumin took Sun Luyuan to stop in front of a restaurant with the best location on the street, pointed to the plaque above his head with a fan, and said, "It's here." ”
"Drunken Building" Sun Luyuan glanced up at the plaque, tilted his head and asked Sun Lumin, "Why did you bring me to the restaurant, are you hungry?" ”
"When you ask that, it seems that you are a little unheard. This drunken building was opened not long ago, and it is very novel. It's not just a place to eat and drink, it's more important..."Sun Lumin suddenly covered his face with a fan, leaned over, and said softly, "I drove it." ”
"True, fake" Sun Lu Yuangang wanted to grab Sun Lu Min's sleeve and ask clearly, but Sun Lu Min took the first step to enter the drunken building.
There was a small servant standing at the door of the restaurant, and when he saw the two of them entering the restaurant, he hurriedly greeted them. "Two, ordinary or private?"
"Elegant room," Sun Lumin said softly.
"Okay, you two, please wait a minute."
Sun Luyuan stood behind Sun Lumin and glanced at it roughly. This drunken restaurant is really different from other restaurants in Kyoto. The place where they were standing now was a small foyer, where they could see the people eating on the first floor. To the left and right of the foyer are two passages, with stairs on one side and none on the other. There were two more servants standing guard on the other side of the stairs.
The little guy pulled the silver bell hanging in the left passage, and after a while, another little guy came out of the passage. The new guy took his place and stayed where he was, and then he came over with a smile on his face and said, "You two here, please." He led them to the right side of the aisle.
Sun Lumin was completely familiar with the appearance of a regular customer, with one hand behind his back and a fan in the other, leisurely following behind the little guy. It was Sun Luyuan, whose eyes were full of curiosity, looking around.
Inside the passage was a staircase, and they followed the servant to the second floor. The center from the top of the second floor is empty, but red ribbons are crossed to block the view from below. But standing in the corridor, you can see the first floor faintly through the gap. The layout on the first floor is no different from a normal restaurant, with tables, chairs and a few diners. But when you go up to the second floor, it's completely different, with private rooms in one room, everyone wearing a variety of masks on their faces and wearing uniform clothes. Mixed together, I don't know who is who.
The little maid led the two of them to the two private rooms in the corner and handed them two small jade plates. smiled and said, "Two, there are clothes and masks in the room, please come to the room first to bathe and change clothes." ”
"This..."Sun Luyuan took the small jade card and looked at Sun Lumin, a mist rose in his eyes.
"I'll explain to you in a moment that it's used for identification."
The two of them went into their respective rooms, changed their clothes, and hung the small jade plaque around their waists. The ornaments on the head are also all removed, and it is better to use the uniform hosta in the room. When I came out again, it was the same as the people walking outside.
"Two, are you number one or number two?"
"No. 1"
"Okay, here, please."
The little guy led the two of them to an extremely hidden corner, where there were two little guys wearing black ghost king masks and black clothes guarding them.
"Two, I'll have to send it here. After the two of them go up, someone will entertain them. After saying that, the little guy retreated one by one.
"Let's go" Sun Lumin took Sun Luyuan's hand, and the two of them went up the stairs. The two little guys standing at the top of the stairs didn't speak or move as if they didn't see them.
Sun Lumin pulled her to the third floor, and a woman with a purple mask and a purple dress greeted her.
The woman held the fan and shook it three times in one step. Before he got to his side, a strong incense powder came to his face, choking Sun Luyuan and coughing constantly.
The woman's voice was also delicate, "Yo, this son, you are here for the first time." Why is it still a little uncomfortable. After speaking, he covered his mouth with a fan and smiled, and restlessly rested his other hand on Sun Luyuan's shoulder.
Sun Luyuan resisted the urge to hit someone, stroked the woman's hand off his shoulder, and glared at Sun Lumin with slanted eyes.
Sun Lumin coughed lightly and patted Sun Luyuan on the shoulder. He took out a small wooden plaque from his waist and shook it in front of the woman's eyes.
The woman froze obviously, and her eyes under the mask also changed, and her blurred eyes lit up instantly. The voice also became cold. She knelt down on one knee, crossed her hands on her chest, and said respectfully, "Young Master"
Sun Luyuan snatched the small wooden card in Sun Lumin's hand, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and he also took out an identical piece from his waist. "Brother, why do you have this?"
"This, you don't care. Put away your own piece and don't lose it. Sun Lumin took back his wooden card and put it back on his waist, bowed his head and said to the woman in purple, "What about Yaoyi?" ”
"Miss Yaoyi is not here." The woman in purple hung her head slightly, but her back was straight. He knelt on one knee for a while, but he didn't move.
"Alright, you can retreat first."
"Yes" The woman in purple got up, folded her hands on her abdomen, took a few steps back, and turned to leave.
"Brother, what the hell are you doing?" Sun Luyuan stared at the back of the woman in purple and asked.
Sun Lumin did not answer directly, but said, "You come with me." ”
The two of them pressed the number behind the jade plaque and entered a private room corresponding to the third floor, Sun Lumin closed the door, walked to the table and knelt down. He beckoned to Sun Luyuan, who was still standing, and said, "Come here, sit down." ”
Sun Luyuan walked to the table, sat down cross-legged, looked at Sun Lumin, and waited for him to speak.
Sun Lumin poured a cup of tea, took a small peck and said, "This is a back road I left for the Sun family." I don't like the court, it doesn't mean I don't understand political affairs. The power of the Sun family is too great, and His Majesty is suspicious that one day, His Majesty will do something to the Sun family. ”
Sun Luyuan didn't speak, but took the initiative to pour a cup of tea.
"In the years you were in Taoyuan Village, I wasn't idle. Take Xiaomin and play around. During this time, I met a man who saved me and Xiaomin. He knows how to make hidden weapons, and you know that I like hidden weapons the most besides business. He saw that I was gifted, and took me as an apprentice. ”
"And then?"
"And then, you see it. I went back to Kyoto and opened this restaurant. ”
"Brother, this is not just a restaurant, right?"
"Of course, this is a place where you can do anything if you have money."
"Is anything okay? Is it okay to even spend money on human life? ”
Sun Lumin chuckled, picked up the tea, and didn't say yes, nor did he say no. There was a cynical smile on the corner of his mouth, but the pair of eyes that were hidden under the smile, and the dark eyes were full of coldness. 'Murder? And that's not all. ’
Sun Luyuan returned to Sun's Mansion with Sun Lumin in the evening. As soon as he entered his small courtyard, he saw Yun Jin sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, staring at the things on the stone table in a daze.
On a whim, she tiptoed to Yun Jin's side. Before he could reach out and pat Yun Jin on the shoulder, he heard Yun Jin say "Miss"
Sun Luyuan was suddenly deflated, and quite helplessly walked to the opposite side of Yun Jindi and sat down and said, "You girl, your ears are too sensitive." It's boring. What to see? ”
"Title Deed"
"Title deed" Sun Luyuan hurriedly picked up the paper on the table, "It's really a title deed, and the location is quite good." Yun Jin, you said that we should move out and live. ”
"Miss, you..." Yun Jin was just halfway through his words when he was interrupted by a young man who came in a hurry.
"Miss, the master told you to go to the study."
"I know" Sun Luyuan handed over the title deed to Yun Jin, sorted out the folds on his clothes, and followed the little servant to leave to the study.
There was a faint light in the study, and two people were whispering if they listened carefully.
"Master, Miss has arrived."
"Let her in."
"Miss, please" The little servant pushed the door open, and after Sun Luyuan walked in, he gently closed the door again.
Inside the house, Sun Yuheng, the grandfather of the Sun, was standing in front of the desk and drawing, while the princess Mo was standing aside and helping him polish the ink with a smile on her face. Sometimes the tacit understanding between the two is like an old husband and wife, and sometimes it is as sweet as a newlywed Yan'er. This also affected Sun Lumin and Sun Luyuan, and they fell in love with each other in their hearts so that they could spend the rest of their lives together. And in this life, there is only one person who works hand in hand for a lifetime.
"Father, mother" Sun Luyuan saluted in turn, and then obediently put his hands on his abdomen and stood aside.
"The title deed has been received."
"I replied to my father's words, and I received it. Your Majesty is really generous, and you gave me the best location in Kyoto. ”
"Yuan'er, don't talk nonsense about Your Majesty." Princess Sun rebuked softly.
"Yuan'er, do you know why His Majesty didn't give you a marriage, but instead promoted you to the lord of Yipin?" Prince Sun put down the pen, took the handkerchief handed over by Princess Sun, and wiped his hands.
"My daughter doesn't know, and she doesn't want to know. The daughter was glad that she was not married. ”
"Oh, why?"
Although my daughter is not in the court, I still have a little hearing about the situation of the Sun family in the court. If the daughter marries any prince, the Sun family will inevitably be involved in the battle for the storage position. Even if the Sun family plans to protect themselves, His Majesty will not believe it if they want to come. As for His Majesty's promotion of me to the lord of Yipin, it is probably also to appease the uncles who are fighting outside. ”
"That's right, if your brother has half of your mind on the court, I can also save my worries."
"Father, in fact, my brother he... He knows everything, but he doesn't show it. Sun Luyuan didn't know if Sun Lumin had told his family about opening a restaurant, but for so long, he hadn't heard anyone mention it, after all, his father had always opposed Shang Jia's technique.
"Oops, is my ear bad? Our Yuan'er actually knows how to defend her brother. Sun Wang Ye smiled and teased Princess Sun.
"They, they've grown up. Knowing that they will be each other's dependence in the future. ”
"Father and mother, if you're okay, Yuan'er is tired, go and rest first." Sun Luyuan was a little embarrassed by their ridicule.
"Wait, Yuan'er, there is one more thing for you to tell you for my father. In addition to saving King Ning Yuan last time, have you ever seen him? ”
"Father, why do you ask?"
"Your Majesty announced that his father entered the palace a few days ago, saying that the queen had mentioned that she wanted you to be the concubine of King Ningyuan. It was also said that King Ningyuan personally went to beg the queen, so he knelt at the gate of the queen's palace for an afternoon and fainted several times. But in my father's impression, you don't have much in common, and you only met in a hurry last time."
"I've been kneeling for an afternoon, but his legs..."Sun Luyuan suddenly remembered that when he first saw King Ning Yuan, there was no problem with his legs, because he could pull himself to run. In fact, his daughter saved him a long time ago. ”
Looking at the surprised eyes of Prince Sun and Princess Sun, Sun Luyuan had no choice but to briefly explain the ins and outs, but this time she still omitted the young man who saved her.
"Father" Sun Luyuan suddenly knelt down and said sincerely, "My daughter doesn't want to be the concubine of King Ningyuan, you said that as a courtier, there are many compulsions, but you will do your best to let your daughter marry the person you like." ”
"If you like someone, you can't marry it."
"What?" Sun Luyuan raised his head and looked at Sun Wangye, his eyes full of shock. Then he lowered his head and said in a steady voice as much as possible, "My daughter will find someone who is suitable and likes." ”
The atmosphere in the room became silent for a while, which was a little depressing, but fortunately, Princess Sun spoke out to ease the atmosphere.
"Oh, what are you father and daughter doing. Yuan'er, hurry up. Princess Sun stretched out her hand and lifted Sun Luyuan up from the ground.
"Yuan'er, there is no other meaning to be a father. As the head of the Sun family, the father has to take the lead in thinking about the Sun family, but you will definitely not become a victim of the interests of the Sun family. ”
