In the following time, Li Xiuwen settled down again, and he didn't even take a step at home.

I have been away from home for nearly two months, and I always have to accompany a few ladies at home, right? He doesn't have much to do right now, anyway.

It wasn't until this day, after Zhu Shaoye and others arrived in Beijing, that Li Xiuwen left the house and went to the Siyi Pavilion to visit.

Originally, the relationship with Zhu Shaoye was there, if it was to avoid suspicion and deliberately arouse suspicion by not seeing the meeting, it would be better to be more open-minded.

To say that Zhu Youzhen is really good enough to pick the door, he brought the eight sons of King Zhou to the capital, and planned to detain them for a long time, but he was reluctant to give a house, but arranged to live in the Siyi Pavilion like the envoys of the subordinate vassal states.

"Hengzhi is here?"

Zhu Shaoye's brother and sister greeted him, looking at Li Xiuwen and just smiling, not showing any worry as a hostage. was not surprised at all by Li Xiuwen's arrival.

Li Xiuwen saluted the two, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then followed them into the house, and asked casually, "Why don't you see the others?" ”

Zhu Shaoye replied with a smile: "I asked Shaochen and them to go out for a casual stroll." ”

Zhu Youzhen did not restrict their freedom, so the intention would be too obvious, and it would not sound good to say. Anyway, in this capital, they can't run. If you really leave the capital without permission, then you will give your neck to Zhu Youzhen to cut off.

Li Xiuwen glanced at Zhu Huaiyu with some surprise, meaning that when she arrived in the capital, how could she bear not to go out for a walk?

Zhu Huaiyu couldn't help but blush when he saw his gaze, and pouted: "What's so interesting in the capital?" In my opinion, it's not much worse than Kaifeng! ”

Zhu Shaoye glanced at his sister thoughtfully, and then turned around and asked, "You went to Dongchang Prison a few days ago and suffered a lot, right?" ”

"I suffered a lot of flesh and skin, and there was no evidence, but they didn't punish me." Li Xiuwen smiled lightly.

"When?"

Zhu Huaiyu asked suspiciously. Zhu Shaoye naturally wouldn't talk to her about such a thing.

"It was more than two months ago."

Li Xiuwen said casually before asking, "Why did the county lord come to the capital too?" The emperor doesn't seem to have summoned you to Beijing, right? ”

He was really a little speechless, this heartless little county lord, as a hostage, he had to join in the fun. However, she is a daughter, and even if she proposes to go back, Zhu Youzhen should not be forced to stay.

In this era, don't say that a county lord or a princess is like a phone bill, which will not attract the attention of men at all, because they can't affect the overall situation.

"Didn't I see that the second brother was here, and I was bored in Kaifeng?"

Zhu Huaiyu rolled his eyes and said, "What, aren't you happy to see this county lord?" ”

Li Xiuwen just smiled and didn't answer. Zhu Shaoye was still watching from the side, and he couldn't laugh at the county lord too casually.

A few people sat and chatted a few more words, and Zhu Shaoye suddenly asked: "I heard that there is a cornucopia in the capital, and there are a lot of interesting tricks in it, Hengzhi should know, right?" ”

When Li Xiuwen heard this, he immediately understood what he meant, this is preparing to defile himself!

The cornucopia is its own industry, and Zhu Shaoye is far away in Kaifeng, so it's normal not to know.

Before Li Xiuwen could speak, Zhu Huaiyu on the side couldn't help but interject: "Is there such a fun place in the capital, take me to take a look!" ”

At that moment, the brother and sister followed Li Xiuwen out of the Siyi Pavilion and rushed to the gambling house.

Now in the capital, there are actually two more cornucopia-like gambling houses. It's just that the two gambling houses learned to look like gods, and although they robbed some business, they didn't have much impact on Li Xiuwen's gambling house.

Among them, there is another important reason, that is, the background of this gambling house is too big, and ordinary people really dare not easily challenge its status.

There's no way, doing business these days depends on more than just a simple mind. There is no big background, and the people of Jinyiwei come to the door every day to "patronize", and you should close the door.

As soon as he entered the gambling house, Zhu Huaiyu couldn't wait to run to the front, take a look here, look there, he should have never been to such a place.

There were too many guests here, and there were a mixture of dragons and snakes, and Li Xiuwen and the others were not very at ease with her, so they had to follow closely behind.

Seeing a girl's family come to such a place, many guests looked sideways and felt a little strange in their hearts. However, seeing that the two sons behind her were dressed extraordinarily, no one was willing to step forward to provoke her.

Nowadays, there are very few people who dare to make trouble in this gambling house. The last time I returned to China, my uncle made trouble, and I was beaten up and thrown out, who dared to mess around?

Soon after, the cornucopia was closed for a while, but isn't it open as usual now?

It shows the weight of the owner behind it!

Zhu Huaiyu is like an old lady from the countryside entering the city, and she feels very fresh when she sees everything. Bet on the dice here, then change places to play pitchers, and then go to see people fighting crickets......

Playing in circles from the first floor to the third floor, Li Xiuwen raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Yuanliang fighting cocks there.

Seeing Zhao Yuanliang sitting there shouting energetically, and there were many people around him, he didn't bother to step forward to join in the fun. He really doesn't have much interest in these things, and even if he is okay on weekdays, he rarely comes here.

Wang Bing didn't come over today, Li Xiuwen just came back from Jiangnan in the past few days, and she stays at home every day, how can she be in the mood to come to the gambling house?

This kind of place is noisy and lively, but it is convenient for Li Xiuwen and Zhu Shaoye to talk in private. Even if there were spies, it would be difficult to hear the whispers between them here.

From Zhu Shaoye's mouth, Li Xiuwen probably knew some recent situations in Kaifeng. Originally, he was worried that Zhu Shaoye would have no money to raise soldiers, but he didn't expect that the financial resources of the palace should not be underestimated.

Naturally, it is nothing compared to himself, but the three guards have tuntian, and the cost of military salary is not too big. In the early stage, it may all depend on military salaries, and when the grain is harvested, the cost will naturally be smaller.

Although Zhu Shaoye came to the capital, he left Yang Zhen in Kaifeng, and he could still cope with daily affairs.

After spending an afternoon in the gambling house, when Li Xiuwen returned home, it was dark.

As soon as he entered the door, He'er greeted him and said excitedly, "Young Master, you can be regarded as back!" ”

Li Xiuwen said with a smile: "Of course you are coming back at this time, seeing that your face is full of joy, isn't there any happy event?" ”

At this moment, Yang Yuxuan, Wang Bing and Dong Xiaowan also came out, everyone was smiling, but they looked at him without speaking.

Li Xiuwen was a little puzzled, why did they all come out one by one?

No, where did Luo Yanran go? Could it be that he went to Luofu and hasn't come back yet?
