After beating the person who should be beaten, Xiao Jinchen was dressed in a good body, humming a little song along the way, anyway, there was Yuanfu staying there, he was not in a hurry, just looked east and west, the boundary where he was at this time was the shore of Luoyang Lake, because there were many flower boats in Luoyang Lake, and almost every one of them had the courtesans or some famous Oiran Qingqi, so even this shore was full of people coming and going, and when there were more people, there would be more business.

There are those who guess the lantern riddles, there are also the portraits of the poor painters, and the honest old farmer carrying a sugar gourd, shouting sharply, selling sugar gourds, of course, more or the one who sells food, or a bowl of warm wontons, or glutinous rice cakes, or the famous amber cake in Luoyang County, selling jewelry, selling rouge is also quite a lot, probably because there is a place to find flowers and ask willows, and juggling, drinking wine and spitting fire, leading monkeys to fight boxing, all kinds of things, counting everything, the atmosphere of fireworks is strong.

Under a willow tree that has no willow leaves, there is a small stall selling wine, three or five tables, there are quite a lot of people, all of them are Jianghu guests, swords and hanging knives, all of them, rough appearance, look at the posture of the fist, not like a person from Xichu, of course, Xiao Jinchen is not sure, he is all from the book, but sometimes, the book and the rivers and lakes are different, the former is a story, the latter is life.

But there is one thing he knows, this part of their Western Chu is the richest and most graceful place in the whole world, so most of their Western Chu people are very subtle, and there will be no shirtless man in the street who is said to be shirtless, eating meat and drinking wine in the Northern Qi or Southern Liang legends, of course, as the prince of a country, he sometimes worries about the customs of Western Chu, look at those ordinary scholars of the same age as him, one by one, they can only write poems and lyrics, and they are full of fat and powder, and they only know how to go to the Qinglou to drink flower wine, and when they encounter a little bad thing, they will drag a few words of sage words, Writing about those pretentious, disease-free moaning, and full of sorrowful things, like this, what are you talking about defending your family and defending the country?

It's a pity that he hasn't been to the army, from birth to now, almost shrunk in the small corner of the palace, the sky is always so big, people have always been cautious when facing him and his father, but according to the book, the style of Western Chu is graceful and subtle, but the cavalry foot soldiers of Western Chu are also unique in the world under the training of the current Chu Emperor, if not, how can they face those rough barbarians who were born on horseback in Northern Qi?

Xiao Jinchen let out a breath and walked straight to the wine stall, without even looking at it, and shouted directly: "Boss, come to Hu Yao Xian Brew."

"Gotcha!"

After paying the bill and carrying the wine, Xiao Jinchen found a clean place on the side of the road, sat down, pulled out the plug vigorously, and poured a big mouthful, feeling that it was not too enjoyable, and the young man did three or four sips in a row, and then his eyes turned red instantly.

This Yao Xian brew is actually named after his mother, when he was eight years old, at his mother's birthday banquet, a high-ranking official offered this wine to his mother, his mother took a sip, said almost, and then handed it to his father, his father drank and said, the wine is good wine, but since the queen said that it is almost, then I also said that he is almost, his mother laughed, said that she said nonsense, this wine tastes sweet, it is a rare wine, his father saw his own lady smiled, stupidly said, no matter how good the wine is, it is not as good as the queen a pear vortex, The high-ranking official said that this wine has not yet been named, and begged his mother to reward it, but without waiting for his mother to speak, his father said directly, this wine should be brewed by Yaoxian, so since then, this wine has swept the entire Xichu.

This is the first time Xiao Jinchen drank this wine in the name of his mother, after his mother's death, he was once afraid that anyone would talk about his mother, so he never touched this wine, but just now, he somehow suddenly wanted to taste it, it was not delicious, just like his father said, this wine is too bitter, but almost everyone in the palace knows that since the queen mother went to the fairy, His Majesty must drink a pot of Yao Xian every day.

In the distance, the sound of a music girl playing the flute slowly drifted by, and the bell tower in the center of Luoyang County also seemed to echo it, Xiao Jinchen looked at the lake reflecting the full moon, stunned, and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Little brother, is this something troublesome?" A white-haired old man sat next to Xiao Jinchen and asked.

"Thank you, uncle, it's a little bit." Xiao Jinchen tried to squeeze out a smile.

"I've been looking at you over there for a long time, and when I saw you like a little young man, I really couldn't help but come over, and I want to say, at a young age, where there are so many sorrows, it's just that I'm scared of myself, this rivers and lakes, it's big, look at others more, think more about yourself, if you are careful enough, you will know that everything is often better than worrying."

The old man said such a sentence, and then gently patted Xiao Jinchen on the shoulder, got up and left, the young man looked at the old man's staggering back, and smiled, although this old man didn't know his true thoughts, but just that little kindness also made him feel better, his mother left, but there are still people in the world who are willing to comfort him.

……

When Xiao Jinchen returned to the Moon Teahouse, Zhou Zeyu had already woken up, leaning against the wall, his complexion was already ruddy, and he had changed into a coarse linen coat again, as if he had not been injured, Yuan Fu glanced at His Royal Highness, then nodded and went out directly.

"Jinchen, thank you, by the way, I heard Yuanfu say that you went to beat that Song Lan, nothing happened, right?" Zhou Zeyu smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"No, what can happen to me? Okay, don't worry, just a little Song Lan deserves to let me have an accident, I'm the prince. Xiao Jinchen looked indifferent.

"Get out, I'm in a hurry with you if you talk to me again, but, I can see that although you are not a prince, you must be similar to Mengwanzhong, Ruan Wenqi and these people, as for me, I won't worry about it, tell you, clean up that girl for me, grandpa, am I easy, I've been in the Mochizuki Teahouse for so many years, and this is the first time I've wet my shoes, well, you...... I know my own body, what you gave me, why do I feel warm now, and my strength seems to be a lot bigger? ”

"It's nothing, it's just an ordinary pill." Xiao Jinchen touched his left hand and said softly with his right index finger.

"Still, can ordinary pills get better so quickly? Hurry up and say. ”

"Don't say it, what if you say that you will repay the favor later?" Xiao Jinchen rolled his eyes.

"Don't worry, I can't look down on you, besides, I can't afford to pay it back with this rotten life."

"Da Huandan."

"What...... What Dan. Zhou Zeyu jumped out of bed violently and almost fell to the ground.

"Da Huandan."

"This damn thing, who can pay back this damn thing...... Zhou Zeyu muttered, and then his eyes suddenly widened: "You, you loser, you, a big pill can buy me tens of thousands of lives, even this so-called Luoyang County City is not worth a big pill, isn't it a waste if you give me it."

The young man was so excited that he splashed Xiao Jinchen on the face, and the young prince wiped his face, sniffed his hand, and looked disgusted.

"No matter how valuable it is, can it be worth the life of my Xiao Jinchen's friend? I'm not thinking about the reason why you can't practice is because the foundation is not laid, I just think that it may be able to let you practice, isn't this just going to be used, you look at you, now you feel strong, that means it has an effect, if you don't believe it, you ask the chopsticks teacher to try to practice, maybe it will be done! ”

"I ......" Zhou Zeyu was a little stunned, the wetness in his eyes was pressed to death by him, and the young man sat on the ground and didn't say a word for a long time.

"I really take you Xiao Jinchen as a friend, and I know that I can't repay it, so I don't pretend to say anything about whether to pay it back or not, anyway, as long as I Zhou Zeyu is in the future, I will die before you first." After a long time, the young man finally held back his words.

"Why don't you fucking say that you can't die, you don't look at who we are, the prince of Xichu also said that he can die if he dies?"

"You don't brag that you can die, you were still moved just now, but you came again, wait, I'll go and say goodbye to the shopkeeper, and pay for the table and chair first." Zhou Zeyu was already lazy to ignore Xiao Jinchen.

Seeing that Zhou Zeyu was gone, Xiao Jinchen muttered: "In these years, why doesn't anyone believe the truth!"

But as he spoke, he laughed again, Zhou Zeyu, don't look at what he said so much just now, but he didn't say the most important thing, "I was injured for you Xiao Jinchen", the acquaintance of people has never been to the point of dying at once, most of them are accumulated from little things, just with Zhou Zeyu's righteousness, Xiao Jinchen also recognizes him as a friend.

In fact, he still admires this guy, among the five of them, Zhou Zeyu has the lowest status, but this thing has no inferiority complex at all, what should he do, he can scold if he wants, and he doesn't have the cheekiness to say that it is good to mix it up, he Xiao Jinchen thinks that this is very good, bright and fair, frank and open, not happy with things, not sad with himself, he is really a real man, at this point, he believes that whether it is Ruan Wenqi and Ruan Wenzhou, who first knew Zhou Zeyu, or Mengwan, who knew Zhou Zeyu for more than 20 days, he appreciates it very much.

In a room behind the inn, the shopkeeper of the Mochizuki Teahouse was busy knocking on the abacus, and the loss this afternoon alone was enough for him to feel distressed, a full twenty taels of silver, how could he earn it back without a month and a half of hard work? Hearing someone knocking on the door, the middle-aged man quickly put away his frustrated expression, doing business, you always have to have a smiling face when you go out to see people, and then he opened the door, but saw a face that he thought he would only see in ten days.

Zhou Zeyu followed behind the shopkeeper, rubbing his hands, bending very low, and looking embarrassed.

"The shopkeeper, this, I'm sorry, it's all Zeyu's fault, Zeyu made a special trip to make amends, and in the past few years, thanks to the care of the shopkeeper, there is a lot of silver and two dollars accumulated, so the loss should be repaid, you can say the number, there is money to lose money, there is work to lose, and then, Zeyu will no longer do this job, I am alone, barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, you still have to do business, you can't affect you."

But I heard the shopkeeper's sneer: "Come on, you, for the past three years, you have been paid so much every month, half of it is for your own use, and half of it has to be sent home, where is there any silver tael, you can't afford to lose twenty taels this time, the son outside is rich, after all, it can make you good so fast, but I don't know your urine nature, I don't want to owe anyone a cent, what, if you want to escape from my palm, it's impossible, so let's do it, well, you continue to work for me, and I will pay you half of your salary every month this year, and you will pay it back." It will return to normal at the beginning of spring next year. ”

Zhou Zeyu is not busy talking, why didn't he find out that the shopkeeper was so good before, looking at this, it seems that he is suffering a loss, but now it is the middle of his mother's October, how much can he get in these two and a half months?

"Shopkeeper, this is not appropriate, no matter how you count it, you will lose money."

"I'm willing, you can take care of you."

The young man was silent again: "Well, shopkeeper, you are really a good person."

", I'm angry when I look at you kid." The shopkeeper looked impatient.

Zhou Zeyu was also obedient, turned around and left, but when he was about to reach the door, the young man was stopped.

"That, take care of your injuries, although I don't know what panacea you have taken, but in the end, your own body is the most important, na, I am also your elder, don't go in one ear and one ear out." The middle-aged man said gently.

Zhou Zeyu nodded, turned around and took two steps, one foot had already stepped out of the door, and then suddenly turned around again.

"What, Uncle Liu, let's halve the salary for this year and next year."

The shopkeeper was stunned, and was about to speak, but when he saw that the door was long gone, he shook his head.

"This stinky boy."
