After sending Wang Gui and others to leave Yunnan Mansion, Mu Sheng still did not come to the Han Mansion to meet. Mu Sheng is just a marquis; Zhu Gaoxu is a prince, so it is impossible to visit Mu Sheng first, so he can only be calm and impatient to see what the situation is.

Zhu Gaoxu thinks that people still need to meet and communicate. Even if those etiquettes are a bit false, the basic attitudes such as good intentions, malice, or vigilance can still be judged; Otherwise, we can only imagine and be suspicious of each other.

To understand the situation in Yunnan Mansion, in addition to looking for Mu Mansion, which has been running Yunnan for many years, Zhu Gaoxu feels that Shen Xu's family may also know a lot.

At this time, he thought of the pear orchard south of Caihaizi, and Shen Xu said that he would have a VIP seat for him.

……

The prince's trip was very large, but today Zhu Gaoxu wore the light purple old robe, and only took Wei Da and Wang Bin to go out. Both of them are the commanders of the guard and the commanders of the more than 6,000 horses of the main army, but now Wang Bin is just a horseman in charge of driving the car, and Wei Da is just a follower.

Caihaizi Pear Garden is not only a theater building, but also a restaurant, tea house, inn, etc.

When they arrived at the place, it was almost noon, so Zhu Gaoxu asked the two guards to go to the restaurant for dinner first.

ordered a table of wine and food, and the three of them chatted quietly and waited for the dishes to be served.

At this moment, a young man came to the next table, which immediately attracted Zhu Gaoxu's attention. The young man was dressed in a green cloth robe and a square scarf, and he looked white and handsome, which was not unusual, and there were also scholars in Yunnan Mansion who did not go out to bask in the sun and only studied behind closed doors...... What is a little special is that the young man is too particular, more particular than the prince Zhu Gaoxu.

I saw that the young man stood at the table and did not sit down immediately, but first took out a white handkerchief, carefully wiped the stool and wooden tabletop, and then put the handkerchief into his sleeve pocket and sat down.

When Dr. Tea came up and put the teacup and carried the teapot to pour tea, the young man said, "Wait a minute! He took out a white handkerchief and carefully wiped the teacup before allowing Dr. Tea to pour the tea.

Only then did the young man sit down in his seat with peace of mind, and put the paper fan decorated with jade in his hand on the table. Then he slowly picked up the teacup, calmly put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was a little disgusted by the smell of tea; Still, he took a sip and placed it back neatly on the ceramic base.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a while, he looked up and looked at Wei Da Wang Bin, and the three of them looked at each other without saying a word. Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly picked up the teacup and smelled it, to be honest, he didn't smell any strange smell, and felt that the fragrance of this Yunnan raw tea was elegant and good.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu's wine and food were already on the table, he lifted the chopsticks and was about to pick up the dishes, when he suddenly found that a man inside was taking out a small pair of scissors and gently cutting the money bag on the waist of a diner.

Zhu Gaoxu put down his chopsticks, and before he could speak, the young man at the next table had already grabbed the thief who walked by, "Your Excellency is born with good hands and feet, why do you want to do such a thing?" ”

That young man is very alert and has a sense of justice! Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu put the chopsticks in his hand again and waited for the young man to come out.

"It's better not to get into trouble and let it go!" The thief showed a fierce expression, struggled for a moment, and reached out to push the young man. The young man twisted the man's arm and pressed it on the table: "Follow me to see the official!" ”

......The wooden table was crooked, and the teacups, chopsticks, vinegar and other items on it suddenly fell to the ground. The diners upstairs were in an uproar and looked over, some of them already standing up.

The thief fell from the table to the ground, immediately turned over, took out the scissors just now, and danced in front of him as he retreated to the staircase: "Don't come! ”

The young man angrily grabbed a round stool and threw it at the thief, the thief turned his head and dodged, and the round stool flew straight towards Zhu Gaoxu, "Bang...... A few times, the plate in front of Zhu Gaoxu was suddenly in a mess, he was holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand, but he was already facing a table full of broken plates and vegetable stains.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, then stretched his legs, and was just kicked by the thieves who ran by, "Ah! The thief stumbled and fell into the mud.

The young man suddenly ran over, stepped straight up, and pressed the thief's hand. At this time, several other diners also rushed over and pressed the people on the ground.

"There is an official shop at the corner of the street, go and ask someone to send the official over." Someone shouted.

The young man stood up, looked at the thief on the ground who turned his head and glared at him, snorted coldly, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and shook it, then wiped the dust and palms on his body, and then reached out and gently stroked his temples and smoothed his hair.

"Good! Good ......," one diner clapped his hands and praised.

The young man held his head high and looked proud, and bowed his head to those who praised him.

At this time, an old man came over with a few people, and the old man stomped his feet and said, "Arrest people and arrest people, but you can't demolish our building!" ”

Xiao Er pointed at Xiao Nianlang and said, "He threw a stool and smashed it." ”

The old man immediately walked up quickly, and the people around him also surrounded the young man, and the old man said, "Little brother's righteous act, we all admire it." But you've broken so many things, you'll have to pay for it. ”

"You old man is so unreasonable!" The young man frowned and said, "You have thieves upstairs, and you still want me to pay for it?" ”

The old man said: "Little brother can't say that, let's open the door to do business, this thief was not called by us, if you want to catch him and burn the entire pear orchard, do you also want to pat yourself on the ass and leave?" ”

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu stood up with chopsticks that he hadn't caught anything, and said: "The shopkeeper counts, how much he has lost, it will be counted at my table, please call someone to pick it up, and then serve a table of wine and food." ”

When the old man heard that someone was going to bear it, he immediately turned around. Zhu Gaoxu was also kind, and said in his heart that since he saw this kind of righteous and courageous thing, he should actually encourage it; I also think that the young man is a good person, and he doesn't seem to be from an ordinary family, so I can help him solve some troubles, and you can also get to know him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Gaoxu's words fell, the young man said with a look of shame: "You think I lack this money, how much is it!" ”

The old man immediately asked someone to count the mess on the ground, and said, "Twenty yuan of money, not money." ”

"Twenty runs!?" The young man was immediately furious, "You guys are so shameless, can you also take the opportunity to knock a stroke?" ”

The old man said: "Don't say it so ugly, there are so many things broken, and there is a table of dishes, isn't it worth twenty?" ”

"Pen and ink waiting! I write the owe note. The boy said.

The old man said with a sad face: "We don't owe credit in this place. ”

"I just didn't bring any money today...... "The boy blushed, "Do you want to owe it?" ”

The old man turned his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu, who nodded slightly at him.

The young man was clever, and he also glanced back at Zhu Gaoxu, and said with a red face: "Don't look down on people, wait and see!" After that, he forcibly asked for a pen and paper to write an IOU, and then turned around and left.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at his back, and said to the old man: "I will settle the bill in a while, and add twenty more to my table." ”

The shopkeeper of this theater didn't seem to have done anything wrong, someone was going to lose money, and he also gave the young man's IOU to Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu sat down again, unfolded the IOU and looked at the payment: Geng Hao.

He was immediately stunned and circulated the IOU to Wei Da and Wang Bin. Wei Da immediately whispered: "Won't it be from the Changxing Hou family?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was noncommittal. Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, was beheaded by Zhu Gaoxu in the Battle of Zhending, and heard that there were indeed family members who fled to Yunnan after the "Battle of Jingjing...... The people of the Geng family must have defected to Mu Sheng when they ran to Yunnan, because Mu Sheng's uncle was Geng Bingwen.

When I met this official speaker surnamed Geng in Yunnan Mansion, it is really possible that he is a child of the Changxing Hou family!

Looking down from the window next to him, Zhu Gaoxu didn't see the young man just now. He thought for a moment and said, "That's it." ”

The two attendants also nodded.

The mess has been cleaned up, and when the dishes are served again, Zhu Gaoxu picked up the chopsticks. He looked left and right, and suddenly flew over feeling very calm and without a stool or anything, and finally caught a chopstick dish and put it in his mouth. The three of them were finally able to eat their lunch peacefully.

…… After a while, someone sat down at the next table, and it was two young ladies.

One of them wore a dress with a very intricate pattern of flowers and greens, and a strange hat like a cap, which looked like the dress of some Tusi people in Yunnan. the other is a Han lady, who is more than ten years old, with a goose-yellow tender face, big eyes, and a pointed chin; But he was wearing a round-necked robe, with a bun on his head and a turban, dressed as a woman dressed as a man and a scholar...... But it's useless, it's a woman at first glance, and you don't look at the curvature of the chest bulge, it's really difficult to pretend to be a man with that face.

The two little ladies were looking left and right, as if they were looking for someone. Zhu Gaoxu ate the dishes without saying a word, ignoring them rashly.

At this time, Xiao Er, who was wearing a shoulder scarf, came up and asked, "Are the two guest officers drinking tea or lighting?" ”

"Two cups of raw tea." The little lady dressed as a man said, and then asked, "No one has been to this table?" ”

Xiao Er said: "There have been several groups of people, and there is a descendant who sits in this position, so I almost didn't tear down our building!" ”

Xiao Niang glared at her big eyes: "What does it look like?" ”

Xiao Er frowned and thought about it: "The little one can't remember." ”

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu put down his chopsticks and said, "The person the girl is looking for is Geng Hao?" ”

As soon as the words came out, the colorful girl's mouth opened in shock, and she looked at her with a defensive look, very unfriendly, but the little lady dressed as a man was very calm, and quickly stood up, bowed to Zhu Gaoxu's side and said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency's surname, do you recognize him?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu saw that she was very calm at a young age, and secretly admired it, and also stood up to return the salute, saying: "Your surname is Hong, I don't know him below, but there is a piece of what he wrote." ”

"I don't know what it is?" Xiao Niang's head tilted slightly, bowed down again, and took the side of her forehead to face Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu took out the note and put it on the table, "Girl, take a look, is it his note?" ”
