Chapter 498 Farewell, Shopping, Meeting Relatives

How hot is it in the middle of summer? As long as you look at the street with few people, you can feel the power. However, no matter how hot it is, you can't go out without going out, so although there are not a few people who are born afraid of heat, there are still people who go out against the sun - since you want to eat, you can't stop working. And those officials who don't have to produce can't take a summer vacation, and this major event of the imperial court will pile up if it is not dealt with in a day, and it cannot be delayed.

Outside the Jinguang Gate of Chang'an, Li Xian was bidding farewell to Qu Tu Zhongxiang, accompanied by the blacksmith Lao Chen and his apprentice A Luo, and Mikhail, who had the signature red hair. Although it was Li Xian who sponsored this westward journey out of his pocket, Qu Tu's family provided a hundred warriors, and when Emperor Li learned that the trip was imminent, he also asked Cheng Chumo to come to see him off, and two people were stuffed in by the way.

"The two brothers have rich experience in traveling south and north, and the most rare thing is that they have been to Tianzhu, and they also have some friendship with the soil kings of many city-states, and they will definitely be able to play a role when things come to an end."

Cheng Chumo said as he took out another bag and stuffed it to Qu Tu Zhongxiang, and without waiting for the other party to say anything, he smiled slyly: "I know that my family Bohu has a lot of shares in your business, and I, as an elder, simply expressed it." This gold and silver are not easy to carry, and they are full of fine South Sea pearls. Tianzhu has many gemstones of various colors, but the best pearls are rare, so it can easily please those earth kings. In short, Zhongxiang, you must be careful. ”

Qu Tu Zhongxiang opened the bag and saw that it was full of round pearls, so he couldn't help but gasp and hurriedly thanked him. Seeing this scene, Qu Tushou naturally smiled, and Qu Tuquan thanked Cheng Chu silently. And Qu Tushen on the side thought that she was married this time, but she couldn't see it, even if she was resolute, she felt a little sad, and she inevitably took the person aside and gave a few words of instruction.

After the elders took care of him, Li Xian only felt that what he had to say had been said, so he simply patted Qu Tu Zhongxiang on the shoulder, and only commanded one sentence: "Success or failure is not the first important thing, the important thing is to give me a message back, understand?" ”

Cheng Bohu hooked up with Qu Tu Zhongxiang and muttered, "Zhongxiang." Xiao Xue and I are waiting for your iron weapons! ”

Xue Dingshan, who had a more wooden temperament, only said two words: "Take care." ”

And playing with Qu Tu Zhongxiang since he was a child, Zhou Xiao was full of reluctance. It was easy to say ruthlessly: "Zhong Xiang." Why don't I go with you? ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, and Qu Tu Zhongxiang was the first to react, and punched him in the chest angrily: "What are you kidding, if you let the eldest princess of Linchuan know that I kidnapped her baby son, I have to be torn apart by life!" Ah Xiao, don't be so unproductive, it's not a parting of life and death. I'll be back when it's done! ”

Li Xianqing knew that no one would be able to go if he was so embarrassed, so he simply stepped forward and took Qu Tu Zhongxiang's horse, and strictly instructed him to clear the customs, and by the way, he must visit Pei Xingjian, as well as the precautions when passing through the Western Regions. Finally, Qu Tu Zhongxiang and the others got on their horses and galloped away, only to see smoke and dust billowing out. After a while, it disappeared from view. A group of people who saw them off were still standing at the gate of the city, each with a little apprehension on their faces.

"At the beginning, Zhong Xiang was famous for being a landlord, who knew that now he is a promising!"

These words came out of the mouth of Qu Tuquan, who was a father. Naturally, there is a considerable weight, so the others also nodded in agreement, and then, several elders swept Cheng Bohu and the others, and their eyes suddenly fell on Li Xian - not to mention Qu Tu Zhongxiang, it is Li Jingye Cheng Bohu Zhou Xiao, who was not the same at the beginning, and he couldn't imagine that he was so burdened now.

"His Royal Highness King Yong, I still say the same thing, I still have two grandchildren......"

Hearing Qu Tushou's old story again, Li Xian hurriedly found an excuse to get on the horse and run, Qu Tushenruo chased after the horse with a cold face, Cheng Bohu and the others glanced at each other, and each jumped on the horse with a smile, said hello to the elders and slipped away. So, the two princes and one assassin didn't care about this hot day, stood at the gate of the city and knocked their teeth, sighing hard about their good luck.

As if he was afraid of being the eldest sister and Li Xian's light bulb, Cheng Bohu, Xue Dingshan, and Zhou Xiao changed their route to the Cheng family's old mansion as soon as they entered the city. And Qu Tushen slapped his horse to catch up with Li Xian, and mocked angrily: "Why, the famous Diliulang is also afraid of an old man like my uncle?" ”

In the bickering, Li Xian and the others did not lose to others, so he smiled and said sarcastically: "Shen Ruo, don't you also avoid your uncle like the plague god?" ”

A fiancé stood on the street staring wide-eyed, and finally laughed at the same time. After laughing, the two looked at each other, and they both noticed that the other was sweating profusely. So, Qu Tushenruo suggested going to the ice shop to buy some ice food to relieve the heat.

Since almost all mansions now have ice cellars, and they are all renovated for fear that the same variety will get tired of eating, so Li Xian has not been to the ice shop in Xishi for a long time, so when he turned into a ten

, When he heard that the people all over the street were claiming to be the authentic Liulang Bing, he was not startled, and looked at the eldest sister behind him clasping his hands and smiling, he quickly woke up, and dared to love this one on purpose!

"Well, you should have known about this three years ago, don't be so surprised." Qu Tushenruo took the initiative to drag Li Xian into a shop, and as soon as he sat down, he nodded to the guy who came up and ordered, "Old way, come with two!" ”

Looking at the guy's courteous appearance and Qu Tushenruo's familiar posture, Li Xian knew that this one must be coming. Casually glanced around, I saw that this place was the same as before, sitting were brightly dressed ladies or sons, and he casually asked the price, and was immediately frightened - I thought that the development of the ice industry would reduce the price, but who knew that the price would be even more expensive.

"What's so strange about scarcity being expensive?" Qu Tushenruo winked at Li Xian with a smile, and said with his fingers, "In the past, it was just ice chips mixed with honey, at most it was some sour plum soup, but now since fresh fruits are added, and there are all kinds of nut preserves, how can the price be not high?" Besides, the price is low, and the common people can afford it, so doesn't it make those young ladies lower their prices? ”

It's not that Li Xian doesn't understand this truth, but he didn't expect that people in this year are also so cunning, so he has to sigh in his heart that there is no business, no treachery, no business. Soon, a guy sent two cups, the shallow glass jars were piled with ice chips, and a thick layer of red bean juice was poured on them, which looked particularly attractive.

At this moment, Li Xian was almost speechless, isn't this red bean shaved ice? Regardless of this for the time being, the glass cup and the small silver spoon are too luxurious, and the high-priced boutique route is still implemented truly and thoroughly. After noticing the surrounding furnishings and decorations, as well as the young men and women in brocade clothes who seemed to be couples, he finally determined that this was undoubtedly a fashionable high-end ice shop in Datang - although this shaved ice was really not high-end.

The other young men and women who entered the couple were all whispering love words, but what the would-be couple of Li Xian and Qu Tushenruo said at this time was very disturbing. Qu Tushen Ruo confessed that this shop was opened with her and Helanyan's private money, to be more precise, there are a total of eight shops on this street, half of which belong to the two of them. When she said this, she was also very "modest" to ask Li Xian for experience, and by the way, she expressed her ambition.

"In case you change your mind in the future, Helan and I will at least have private money, so we don't have to worry about starving to death!"

Knowing that this was a joke, Li Xian couldn't wait to ignore it, and when he was about to fight back, a surprise suddenly sounded behind him, and when he turned his head, his complexion suddenly changed slightly. It was none other than Ming Chongyan, the freshly baked No. 1 magician of the Tang Dynasty. And next to him, there are two more acquaintances, more precisely, they should be said to be relatives - Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Li Shen, the king of Ji.

"It's Rokuro, you're stealing a beautiful woman!" Li Zhen seemed to be extremely familiar, and stroked her beard with a smile, "In a few days, they will be a real couple, and they can't hold back their temperament!" He looked at Qu Tu Shenruo as he spoke, and his face first showed a hint of amazement, and then turned into appreciation, "You are really a blessing!" ”

Li Shen was afraid that this brother would say something in the way, and was about to step forward to drag the person away, but Li Zhen, who was full of interest, didn't seem to consider that he was hindering other people's romance, sat down in the adjacent seat, and beckoned him to sit down with Ming Chongyan.

At this time, he agreed or refused, and seeing that Li Xian did not object much, he had to sigh secretly and sit down. So, I saw that there were two people sitting opposite each other on the four tables, but there were five people squeezed into the small table here, looking how weird and weird it was.

If Li Xian and Qu Tushen are not ordinary lovers, neither of them has much disgust with the people who suddenly come out to stir up the situation, so when they sit down with each other and start gossiping, Li Xian, who is the most talkative on weekdays, instead plays the role of a listener.

He and Li Zhen's uncle were not too acquainted, but the two of them had a small confrontation in a very subtle way a few years ago, and he was lucky to have the upper hand that time. And this time when they really sat face to face, he deeply appreciated the extraordinaryness of this king of Yue - he spoke wittily and sharply, there seemed to be countless customs and customs in his mouth, and endless articles and allusions, as if he was more like a traveling bachelor who had read more than 10,000 books all over the world, and was by no means like a prince.

Of course, Ming Chongyan, a magician, is also very talkative, fully showing the good cultivation quality of the children of the family, smiling gently and elegantly, speaking unhurriedly, and talking as if he looked at things outside the body such as fame and fortune very lightly, but he was conclusive about ghosts and gods.

All in all, in front of such two people, King Ji Li Shen has become an invisible person.
