Volume 1 The Heart of a Young Man Chapter 17 A Trip to Beijing

The first rays of light in the morning came in obliquely through the window, shining on the body, giving people a warm feeling.

When the rays of sunlight shone in, Li Xiao got up from the table, stretched his waist, bathed in the warm sunshine, and began to enjoy the new day. After standing still for a moment, he turned around and saw Chu Chu lying on the bed still immersed in sleep.

Yes, he didn't sleep with the little girl in bed last night, it is impossible to take advantage of the danger of others, it is impossible in this life, and the little girl grabbed herself very tightly, there was no way, just waited for the little girl to fall asleep and used some small means to put her down.

When Chu Chu fell asleep, it was close to the third watch, and the maids in each room were already asleep, so naturally it was impossible for them to get up in the middle of the night to clean up a room, this is not in Suzhou, it is better to settle down.

The configuration of the room in Lu Mansion is very simple, a bed, a table, a few chairs, a number of porcelain, and that's it. Looking around the room, only the wooden table by the window is suitable, it doesn't matter, anyway, when I was still in high school in my previous life, I was like this headrest table, sleeping on a chair, and now I experience it again, when I remember my life in high school. It's just that after a night's sleep, my neck and waist are a little inexplicably sore.

Twisting his waist, looking at Chu Chu on the bed who was still drooling, and he didn't know what he was talking about, Li Xiao couldn't help laughing, the child curled up and drooled, the way he looked was really funny. But it's funny, it's funny, it's not early, and you have to go out. Rubbing his waist, he opened the door and walked out.

The dew on the stone road in the early morning, outside the door, the maids had already started their day's work, some ran over in a hurry with a bunch of clothes, some walked to the front yard with the morning food, and some looked at Li Xiao rubbing his waist with one hand with a broom with strange eyes.

At this moment, Li Xiao was tired, rubbing his waist and pressing his neck, in the eyes of those maids outside the door, it was no different from those old masters and young masters who indulged in a night, and Chu Chu, who had not come out of the room until now, verified how crazy last night was. It turned out that Li Gongzi, who was looking at Wen Xuan, was also so crazy.

"Li Gongzi, people can't be good-looking." The subordinates whispered.

Slowly, the subordinate looked at Li Xiao's eyes with a hint of admiration, and the maid was silently worried about Chu Chu who had worked all night.

The performance of the subordinate maid Li Xiao saw it in his eyes, and it was easy to guess what he was thinking, and his performance was also very close to that thing, thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, shook his head, and walked away. There is no need to explain anything about this kind of thing, and I have no obligation to explain, the explanation will only get darker and darker, it is better to go with the flow, but it is bitter and misunderstood, but she doesn't seem to be at a loss.

Li Xiao's room was located in the right wing of the Lu Mansion, and he walked through the front yard and walked through a not very narrow moon gate. The place where Lu Mansion eats is also in the front yard, and the path paved with bluestone slabs is straight towards the front yard, and there are a few unknown flowers on both sides.

Li Xiao, who was not interested in flowers, naturally would not focus on these, and after passing through the moon gate, the old housekeeper appeared in front of him.

The old housekeeper was woken up by the energetic Lu Yunlu when it was dawn, and dragged him into the Yiwang Mansion next door to find what his father had explained.

Yiwang Mansion is not big, and he quickly found it in the study room in the mansion, and after completing the task, Lu Yunlu was ecstatic and was about to leave, but his stomach rang a few times. The old housekeeper laughed, and then took Lu Yunlu back to the house, saying that he would leave after breakfast.

As for Li Xiao, the old housekeeper knew that Chu Chu was in Li Xiao's room last night, so he deliberately didn't bother, and waited until the next person said that Li Gongzi was awake, and then walked slowly to the right wing room, doing his best to be a landlord.

As for Li Xiao, who learned that things had been obtained and missed the one-day trip to the legendary emperor's former residence, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but if he thought about it, Lu Fu knew the emperor and was able to enter and in freely, and he had nothing to do with the emperor's eight poles, so it was good to be able to take a look outside, so why bother to be unhappy. Soon, Li Xiao, who had comforted himself, followed the old housekeeper to the front yard.

When he came to the front yard, Lu Yunlu was already sitting on the log table. The food on the table was not rich, a bowl of golden hot porridge, a few dishes of side dishes, and a bowl of whip soup that gave Li Xiao a headache.

Li Xiao, who thanked the old housekeeper in his mouth but slandered the housekeeper for doing things like those maids, was very reluctant to eat the soup that night in Lu Yunlu's smiling eyes, although he was very unwilling, but it was also a piece of the old man's heart, but looking at Lu Yunlu on the side, it seemed that he had already experienced it, and he immediately understood why this guy didn't touch the woman when he came back here, you know, along the way, Lu Dagongzi was so excited when he talked about Oiran that he was like a river.

Li Xiao, who endured the nausea and swallowed the miscellaneous soup, noticed the wooden box placed next to Lu Yunlu, which looked a little strange, and from a rough point of view, it was twelve wooden sticks surrounding a small box inside.

Like Kong Ming lock, or Luban lock.

"Will you open the box?" Lu Yunlu found that Li Xiao was looking at the box he had taken, thinking that the son from this small place could solve such a mysterious object.

"Not really, it's just a little familiar."

Li Xiao really won't, but this box looks very similar to what he saw when he visited a certain Q spot before, and he unconsciously looked at it twice.

Hearing Li Xiao's answer, Lu Yunlu was disappointed for a while, he was very curious about the things in this box, how could it be that the technology was not enough, he couldn't open it, and it was an object of His Majesty the Emperor, and he couldn't force it open, this feeling of being close to him and helpless made him close to despair.

"Why should the young master be obsessed with knowing the contents of the box?" The old butler walked slowly with a black-red cane, followed by Chu Chu, who had just woken up: "This is just a little gadget from Your Majesty when he was a child, and it is not worth mentioning." ”

Seeing the old housekeeper coming, Lu Yunlu hurriedly got up and helped the old housekeeper to sit on the chair, while Chu Chu, who was following behind, trotted to Li Xiao's side with a limp and injured leg, and stood quietly.

The chains on the little girl's feet had already been opened, but they still left two bright red scars on her fair skin.

"Sit down and drink porridge." Li Xiao looked at Chu Chu and whispered, while pushing the porridge in front of her to her.

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Chu Chu hurriedly shook his small head, lowered his head, and his thin legs couldn't stop shaking, not daring to look at Li Xiao.

In this era, slaves are even lower than maids, and even maids are not qualified to eat with their masters, let alone slaves. The young Chu Chu instilled these early, so that he would be so scared when he heard Li Xiao say about eating at the table.

Looking at Chu Chu, Li Xiao realized this, he understood that he could not completely change all this, these are all products of the times, and a person like Mr. Sun is needed to change all this, of course, he knows that this person will not be himself.

smiled helplessly, seeing that Lu Yunlu had eaten almost, he got up and pulled Lu Dashao to go out, and looked at the old housekeeper apologetically, and motioned to the housekeeper to let Chu Chu, who had not yet eaten, finish eating without worries.

Lu Yunlu, who was forcibly pulled away, did not complain, in fact, he was very grateful to Li Xiao, the porridge in the morning was the medicine porridge boiled by the old housekeeper, which was very difficult to drink, and Lu Dashao, who was accustomed to the delicacies of the mountains and seas, was naturally difficult to swallow, and every time the old housekeeper had to stare at himself to finish drinking, fortunately, this time, he finally let Li Xiao forcibly pull it away and escaped a catastrophe, fortunately, fortunately.

Out of the mansion gate, it was the street where there were not many pedestrians, patting the dust on the steps with his hand, Li Xiao sat down at will, Lu Yunlu didn't dislike it, grabbed Li Xiao's position, and sat down. The two sat in the morning light, looking at the river flowing in front of the street. The carriage brought yesterday is gone, replaced by two brand-new carriages, but there is no sign on them, Xu is the old housekeeper let the two of them enter Beijing quietly, can not cause any ideas.

"You're going to take her to Jingshi?" Lu Yunlu propped his hands back and said casually.

"There's nothing I can do, I can't throw it here, I'm afraid something will happen to her, so I brought it back with my own hands." Li Xiao took out the pear that had just come from his arms, took a bite, and said, "Do you want to give her to you?" The Hou Mansion sounds quite powerful. ”

"Don't, it's amazing, but if my father and sister know that I brought back a mother, even if it's a female, I will have to shed my skin if I don't die." Lu Yunlu was busy rejecting Li Xiao's suggestion, as the eldest son of Lu Houfu, the existence with the lowest family status among the sons of Jingshi, he didn't dare.

"Okay, but where am I going to live in Jingshi, Hou Mansion?"

"I also want you to live in my house and talk about the wind and snow together, but my sister is at home, and the Hou Mansion will not accept all male guests. So, you, it's probably the palace, after all, you're treating Her Royal Highness the princess. It seems that he thought of the sister of Jingshi, and then thought of Li Xiao's flower-like and gentle sister in Suzhou City, Lu Yunlu couldn't help but sigh: "You said that you are also a sister, why is the gap so big." ”

Grand Prince Lu's complaints, Li Xiao naturally couldn't respond, so he just smiled bitterly.

"By the way, you went to Jingshi, you have to be careful." Lu Yunlu got up, patted his buttocks, and said, "Not everyone is like me, eating and waiting to die. ”

"Nature." Jingshi is the concentration of Haoguo's power, and it is also an abyss that cannot be seen, Lu Yunlu's words are a warning and a reminder

Li Xiao stood up, moved his muscles and bones, and happened to see the old housekeeper leading Chu Chu out.

"Childe is ready to leave?" The old housekeeper walked over, and Chu Chu on the side was also busy running to Li Xiao's side, holding his little hands tightly.

"It's getting late, it's time to go." Li Xiao arched his hand and said.

"It's time to go." With a wave of his hand, the old housekeeper turned around and went back to the house, and before entering the house, he turned his back to Li Xiao and the three of them: "Yizhou City is not big, if the young master wants to come, he will come to accompany the old slave and tell the old slave about the Jingshi." ”

Without pausing, without waiting for the two to answer, they went home. Lu Yunlu smiled helplessly, this old man who dedicated his life to the Lu family has always been like this, and without saying much, he motioned for Li Xiao to get into the carriage and set off.

Li Xiao didn't stop, bent down and saluted, and got into the carriage, while Chu Chu followed closely and climbed into Li Xiao's car. Not long after, two carriages drove out of Yizhou City and headed north, moving forward step by step.

Jingshi City, the master is here.
