Gao Changyu, the county lord of the Imperial Mansion with royal blood, and more importantly, she is also the cousin of His Majesty the current Emperor. But as the lord of the county, she didn't live the life she should have. Sixteen years ago, at the age of one, she suffered the biggest change in her life, his father died of illness, Emperor Yingzong was restored, and she also moved out of the palatial princess's mansion.

After the restoration, the British emperor did not like his younger brother's lineage, and even had the idea of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but fortunately, the old queen mother took pity on her and took her into Xingqing Palace to live. This is also the most comfortable years of her life in 17 years.

In the past few years, those who were wronged when King Yu was the emperor looked at the face of the old queen mother, and did not go to Gao Changyu for trouble, and she also lived peacefully in Xingqing Palace when she was young. But the good times didn't last long, and not long after she entered the general role, the old queen mother died. It was the most uncomfortable day for her, and she was deeply aware of what it means to be empty.

With the death of the old queen mother, those who were dissatisfied with the king of the palace came out one after another, and Gao Changyu also moved from the palace to the palace of the king of the emperor on East Street. But everything is not over, all kinds of troubles and tortures made this girl who had just turned five years old almost collapsed, and the servants of the original palace left one after another, leaving only Chunlan and Qiuxiang behind.

Although they are all petty fights, those people also look at the face of her royal blood, and do not harm her life, but they torture her all the time. Even the monthly payment I get every time is decreasing again and again, and to this day, there are only a few taels, which is very little.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, His Majesty the wise and martial emperor has not hated the king like the British emperor, but he has not given any help. The increasingly embarrassing life forced her to find a new source of income, but how could it be so easy, those people only allowed her maids to do some legitimate work, but it was not enough at all, and she found a way to touch porcelain.

Those people seemed to like to see her make a fool of herself, and didn't stop it. And Gao Changyu's objects of touching porcelain are generally sons of some families, and those sons are hindered by her blood, plus there is not much silver, and they all endure it silently. It's just that after a long time, those sons began to avoid her, and for a while, Gao Changyu, the county lord of the Yuwang Mansion, became a joke after tea and dinner and a disaster that could not be avoided in the eyes of the children of the family.

Gao Changyu knows this very well, but there is no way, she needs to maintain the palace expenses, which is difficult for two maids to do. Day after day, she was willing to leave her dignity behind to ask for that little silver tael. She had long been numb to all this, and her weak heart was even more dead and bleak.

But there was such a strange person, a person who lit up her heart like a fire. A few days ago, when he first came to Beijing, he lied to him, but when he saw him again two days later, this person seemed to have lost his memory, and he never mentioned it, and more importantly, he also helped him. Isn't this man a fool? Isn't this person rich and noble? Isn't it him......

"Thank you." Gao Changyu's voice was very soft, as light as a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.

Li Xiao looked at Gao Changyu, who bowed his head in front of him, caught the faint "thank you", smiled and motioned to Chu Chu in the distance to come over, and then took the gray money bag that Chu Chu was carrying in his arms and handed it to Gao Changyu: "Today is not as generous as the previous two days, you can accept it, this Cai Gongzi doesn't look easy to fool, forget it today." ”

Looking up at Li Xiao, Gao Changyu muttered in his heart, the clean young master of the Chu family in front of him is not a fool, he has never known him, and he has cheated him once, at this moment, not only does he help others deal with himself, but even speaks for himself, and finally takes the initiative to give silver. Yes, don't take the initiative to send the silver taels to the door in vain. took the money bag in Li Xiao's hand and gently weighed it for a moment, not much, only a dozen taels of silver.

Seeing Gao Changyu take it, Li Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the beginning, he was still worried that the county lord would hold on to Cai Kun and make Cai Gongzi bleed no matter what. And this Cai Gongzi doesn't look very smart, he is skeptical of what he said, Gao Changyu really wants to be arrested, then Cai Kun may not be deterred, if he makes a move, the scene will not be easy to clean up. I'm not afraid, but I just came to Beijing, and before I could gain a foothold, I provoked a senior official, so how can I have a better time in the future?

Although there is the existence of the father-in-law in Suzhou, he can be regarded as having a dependence, but from Suzhou to Jingshi for more than ten days, it is estimated that he has been cold when he comes, not to mention that Jingshi also has a character with the same name, and when he is gone, he will not say it, and it will affect the people of the Chu family, it is not worth it. It's better to spend some money to eliminate disasters, it's simple and fast.

"If you can, leave early, if Cai Kun regrets it, we won't have to play." Li Xiao glanced back at Cai Kun and saw the latter thoughtfully climb into the carriage, glancing at Gao Changyu from time to time. It seems that he is wondering if what Li Xiao said is correct.

Gao Changyu glanced at Cai Kun, thought about it for a while, and felt that what Li Xiao said made sense, it was impossible to pit Cai Kun at this time, and this Cai Gongzi was not a fool, on the premise of really knowing himself, he would never hand over the hot silver taels in his hand. Anyway, the somewhat stupid Li Xiao has already given it to himself, and these dozen taels should be able to be used for a while, so there is no need to dwell on this, as for Cai Gongzi's share, after a while, it will be the same if you come back to get it. Thinking about it, he pulled away from the crowd and disappeared into the alley around the corner with his not-so-good-looking skirt.

Cai Kun sat in the carriage, looked at Gao Changyu who was gradually disappearing, and then looked at Li Xiao, falling into deep thought. A few days ago, he just followed his father to Beijing after he was promoted. Along the way, his father reminded himself that the water in Beijing was deep, and asked him to act cautiously and not to be arrogant with Cangzhou. Naturally, I wanted to listen to my father's words, but after coming here for so many days, I didn't see the children of the Jingshi family, and I only came into contact with the Wenyuan Poetry Society that came to recruit him.

Those talents from the same poetry club mentioned Gao Changyu's existence to him, but he didn't care, how could this kind of thing let the noble him run into it. But by coincidence, it happened today, and it almost caused a catastrophe. Thinking about it carefully, the woman just now was not sent by her father's opponent, if she did it, she would be accused of doing evil on the street at the feet of a son of heaven, wouldn't it be worth the loss. And if that woman is really the county lord, wouldn't it become a crime of ignoring the royal blood and ignoring the emperor? When you think about it this way, it's really possible. Then today, I would like to thank the person who injured Wu San.

Slowly, Cai Kun looked at Li Xiao with a sense of gratitude and apology in his eyes. It's just that the look in his eyes seems to be saying: I like you. Let him tremble inexplicably.

……

Soon after Gao Changyu left quickly, the crowd around saw that there was no excitement to see, and gradually dispersed. Li Xiao saw that the matter was settled, Cai Kun didn't say anything, and was about to leave, but before he could lift his feet, Chen Ziye came over in a carriage.

When the crowd had not dispersed, Chen Ziye sat in the carriage and looked around for Li Xiao's traces, but after looking at the empty street for a long time, he didn't see any trace of Li Xiao and Chu Chu. Sitting in the carriage, he didn't like to watch the excitement, so he waited in the same place. After a while, he saw Gao Changyu running out of the crowd, and when the crowd dispersed, he saw Li Xiao and Chu Chu standing in the middle of the road, with a magnificent carriage in front of them.

can't help but worry, what trouble did Lao Li get into?

In a hurry, he told the coachman to go over. The two are not far away, and they stop quickly. Chen Ziye hurriedly got out of the car and asked one or two.

"The young master is kind-hearted and helps the county lord's sister to break the siege." The little girl's tone was a little worried and a little dissatisfied: "I also gave her the only remaining silver taels." ”

Li Xiao smiled and didn't stop Chu Chu. Indeed, what was given to Gao Changyu was that he only had a dozen taels of silver left. In the past two days, he felt that there was no expense, so he did not ask his family for a cent, and besides, His Majesty the Emperor was willing to bear the expenses in Beijing, and there was no need to trouble his sister thousands of miles away with great fanfare.

Seeing that nothing happened to Li Xiao, Chen Ziye let go of his nervousness and said: "Brother Li is fine, silver money or something, I have some, you take it first, it can be regarded as a piece of my brother's heart." ”

Chen Ziye took out a bulging money bag from his arms, looking at this money bag, Li Xiao knew that Chen Ziye had made a lot of money for today's banquet, but he was cut off by the wealthy Lu Yunlu and saved a fortune. This was originally prepared for him, but I don't know if it was prepared by Chen Ziye himself, or the Zuo Xiang, who had never met, I didn't know whether to take it or not.

Chen Ziye saw Li Xiao's hesitation, didn't explain anything, and stuffed it into Chu Chu's hand. Chu Chu looked at the heavy money bag in his hand, and then at Li Xiao, with a blank expression.

Li Xiao touched Chu Chu's cute head, and accepted it by the little girl: "Then thank you Brother Chen, but this is what I borrowed, and when I have the silver taels, I will return it to you, don't refuse when the time comes, otherwise we will lose our friendship." ”

"Well, that's yours."

The sky tilted slightly, revealing a hint of red. The long avenue began to be noisy again. The piano girl outside the fairy residence played unfamiliar tunes very skillfully.

At the corner of the street, a richly decorated carriage stopped silently, the two headlights printed with the word "Lu" on the side of the curtain were shaking boringly, accompanied by ten solemn guards standing on both sides, which looked quite majestic.

It is also quiet in the carriage. Lu Yunlu looked through the window, peeling oranges in her hands, watching everything that happened not far away. Yang Dong'er, who was sitting on the side, wiped a bright short knife, ate the pulp handed by Miss Lu in her mouth, and then casually glanced at Lu Yunlu, who was sitting with her head down.

"What an interesting person." Lu Yunlu said with a smile. It's just that this smile seems to be mocking and ridiculing in Lu Yunlu's eyes.

"It's really interesting." Yang Dong'er replied expressionlessly: "Yunlu, when can we leave?"

"Dong'er looks impatient, okay, it's just a first word, there's nothing to look at, let's go." Lu Yunlu knocked on the wooden door of the carriage, ready to let the driver drive away, and suddenly saw someone not far away: "Why are they here?" ”

……

"Brother Chen hasn't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed." Not far away, a young man with an elegant face and dignified demeanor shook a folding fan and said unhurriedly, and several men and women dressed similarly stood behind him: "This is the Li Xiao mentioned by Brother Chen, Li Gongzi." ”
