Chapter 301: Mooncakes

The chamberlain cried and said, "Your Majesty, the slave maid went to find Cui Daoshu Gongzi, he was drinking with some officials. The slave and maid pulled him and wanted to come out, but those officials did not let him go, so they did something to the slave and maid, and some people touched the slave and maid's buttocks. ”

Li Yu laughed heartily: "Hahaha, these people are so rude!" Not at all like a reader. You have been wronged, go down and rest, find Guo Kai to receive five yuan and give you a shock. ”

The chamberlain hurriedly thanked Li Yu for his reward and went down to rest.

Emperor Zhou E held back a smile and said to Li Yu: "Your Majesty, everyone is very happy today, and it is not an exaggeration to drink again and do something out of the ordinary. Don't punish those officials. ”

Li Yu nodded: "It's okay, let them make trouble, I heard that Cui Daoshu was very shallow in drinking, and the widow estimated that he would soon get drunk, so he didn't let him come." ”

At this moment a large crowd entered the square, consisting of more than twenty chamberlains, all carrying intricately woven baskets, covered with red satin.

Guo Kai walked up to Li Yu, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, all the moon cakes sent by Quan Jude have been brought, you see?" ”

Li Yu waved his hand: "Present a basket up, and let the rest be eaten by the hundred officials and the women." ”

Guo Kai hurriedly came up with a basket and placed it on the table in front of Li Yu.

He lifted the red silk, revealing the wooden box inside.

This lacquer box is very exquisite, about eight inches square, and it is depicted with the pattern of Chang'e running to the moon. The box is engraved with two seal characters of "moon cake", and there is a line of small characters below:

"Quanjude respects Your Majesty, Queen."

Li Yu was very happy and nodded to Guo Kai.

Guo Kai lifted the lid of the box, and a sweet smell instantly emanated.

Li Yu looked carefully and saw that the lacquer box was covered with golden brocade, and four round pastries were placed on it.

Li Yu picked up a piece of moon cake and saw that there was also a pattern on the surface of the pastry, which depicted the image of Chang'e, and there were two lines of small words next to it: "Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are night and night." ”

Li Yu praised it: "This is Li Shangyin's poem!" The pastry is very exquisite, not bad, not bad, Queen, you can also come and see. ”

Zhou Ehuang stood up and walked to Li Yu's side. She also picked up a piece of mooncake and looked at it carefully.

"Quanjude really has a heart, no wonder they have only opened for a few days, and the business is very hot. People are indeed business wizards, and this moon cake is very exquisite, and the concubines can't bear to eat it. ”

Guo Kai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, let's let the old slave taste it first." ”

Li Yu scolded with a smile: "You old slave, are you greedy and want to eat a piece first?" ”

Guo Kai hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, you can't eat food from outside this palace!" Let's let someone try it first. ”

Li Yu smiled and said, "Is Quanjude so stupid? Poisoning this mooncake? Their proprietors Cao Deshun, Cui Daoshu, and Na Zhe are all here. Don't they want to live? ”

Guo Kai was speechless, and looked at Emperor Zhou E.

Emperor Zhou E came out to play a round: "Your Majesty, what Guo Kai said also makes sense, let's let people taste it first." ”

Li Yu didn't think so, so he waved his hand at Guo Kai.

Guo Kai hurriedly picked up a piece of moon cake and bit it when he opened his mouth.

He swallowed a piece of mooncake in two bites. His eyes lit up instantly, and he said indistinctly:

"Delicious, delicious. Your Majesty, will you reward the old slave again? ”

Li Yu laughed: "You old slave, do you still want to eat?" There are only four pieces in this box, you eat two pieces yourself, and the widow and the queen eat one piece? ”

Guo Kai smiled embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, this moon cake is so delicious, the old slave really can't help it." ”

Emperor Zhou E persuaded: "Your Majesty, Guo Kai serves you every day, it is indeed very hard, this box of moon cakes, give it to him." ”

Li Yu nodded: "The widow is just teasing him, just a box of pastries, and I will reward him." ”

Guo Kai hurriedly asked, "Then Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have nothing to eat?" ”

Li Yu said: "You are really stupid, so many moon cakes, if you take another box, won't it be over?" ”

Guo Kai patted his head: "The old slave is really stupid, go get a box right away, and then hide it." When you go back, taste it slowly. ”

Li Yu smiled at Emperor Zhou E and took a bite of the moon cake.

A sweet fragrance filled Li Yu's mouth, mixed with a faint fragrance of osmanthus, sesame, and bean paste.

Emperor Zhou E also took a bite lightly and chewed slowly.

At this time, the officials in the square began to scramble for mooncakes, and many people stuffed mooncakes into their sleeves, preparing to go home and give them to the children to taste.

Cao Deshun shouted loudly: "Don't rob it, you can all go to Quanjude tomorrow, as many mooncakes as you want, all for free!" ”

Hulala, a large group of people instantly surrounded Cao Deshun in the middle and asked about the moon cakes.

Cao Deshun was pulled by many people, and soon his clothes were disheveled.

Li Yu laughed and hurriedly sent his attendants over to rescue Cao Deshun.

Six chamberlains ran over one after another, squeezed into the crowd, and struggled to drag Cao Deshun out.

The two chamberlains carried Cao Deshun and came to Li Yu, Cao Deshun looked embarrassed, the clothes on his body were one by one, and there were several blood marks on his face.

Li Yu hurriedly said: "Quickly take Mr. Cao to the imperial doctor for treatment, and then find him a coat to change into." ”

The chamberlain carried Cao Deshun away, and Cui Daoshu in the crowd was no better. He was already drunk and vomited, and was carried away by the chamberlain.

Qi Jiuniang saw it next to her, and she was so distressed that she wanted to rush over.

Na Zhe hurriedly stopped her: "What do you want to do?" This is the Royal Palace! ”

Qi Jiuniang said anxiously: "I'll take care of my son!" What are you stopping me for? Isn't it a beating? ”

Na Zhe glared and said, "You owe a beating!" If you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to uncover the tiles. It's not a fuel-efficient lamp! This is the palace, you frizzy personality, don't cause anything. ”

"What about the son?"

"He's just drunk, it's not a big deal. You don't have to worry about having a chamberlain to take care of him. You're going to sing in a while, so adjust your state first, don't lose the face of Jinling's No. 1 singer. ”

Qi Jiuniang gradually quieted down, and looked in the direction where Cui Daoshu was carried away from time to time.

Na Zhe laughed secretly in his heart, this girl with a bit of a big nerve still cares about the seventh child very much.

At this time, Xu Xuan staggered over, obviously a little too drunk.

He pinched a piece of mooncake in one hand and took a bite as he walked.

He came to Na Zhe and said with a smirk: "Hehe, Quanjude's moon cakes are good!" You take a bite too. ”

After speaking, he stuffed the bitten moon cake into Na Zhe's mouth.

Na Zhe was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped away, "Lao Xu, what are you crazy about?" ”

Xu Xuan saw that Na Zhe didn't eat it, so he took another bite to himself, "You really don't have a mouthful, how delicious this mooncake is!" ”

Na Zhe looked around and found that there were more and more drunks in the square. Many people are lying on the ground and snoring and sleeping, some people are stirring up trouble everywhere, and some people are provoking those dressed up women.

That Zhe secretly slandered, Li Yu didn't care about these guys, if there was a scandal, what should I do.

Xu Xuan still chattered in front of Na Zhe unrelentingly, "I said Na Zhe, the old man suspects that "Water Tune Song Head" is not Nalan Rongruo's work. The lyrics of the few tunes you took out in the past have a graceful and beautiful style, and this "Water Tune Song Head", the style of the lyrics is bold and uninhibited, and the artistic conception is lofty and lofty, which is definitely not the work of Nalan Rongruo. Am I right? ”

Na Zhe laughed secretly in his heart, what you said is very right, but Lao Tzu just doesn't admit it, what can you do with me?

Seeing that Xu Xuan was still chattering, Na Zhe used his urine to escape the law, and he arched his hand to Xu Xuan: "Xu Shilang, you sit for a while, I'll go and relieve you." ”

Then he ran away. He asked where the toilet was, and then walked towards the thatched house.

After untying his hand, he hummed a little song and walked back slowly.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared from behind a tree, startling Na Zhe.

The black shadow let out a "ha", and then "giggled" and laughed.

Na Zhe shouted loudly: "Are you a human or a ghost? ”

The shadow was still smiling and not speaking.

Na Zhe bent down and touched a stone, and then shouted: "If you don't speak, I'll throw a stone at you!" ”

The black shadow spoke: "I didn't expect that gentleman, who is famous in Jiangnan, to be so timid. ”

The voice was soft and childish, and it was clearly from a little girl.

Na Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, it's good that it's not a ghost, but who is she? is very young, it should not be Li Yu's concubine, and it can't be his daughter.

It is impossible to be a palace maid, ordinary palace maids do not have such courage to dare to speak out and tease themselves.

Na Zhe threw the stone and continued to walk back.

The woman saw that Na Zhe ignored herself, and hurriedly followed.

"Hey, why don't you talk to me?"

Na Zhe quickened his pace and threw the little girl away seven or eight meters away.

The little girl shouted from behind, "Coward, if you run again, I'll scream." Someone! Someone is bullying me! ”

Na Zhe had no choice but to stop and said helplessly: "Girl, what are you going to do?" ”

The little girl came over and said with a smile: "Sir, I just want to talk to you, and I have no other intentions." ”

Na Zhe said: "Girl, it's too dark here, let's go to a bright place, I will definitely accompany you enough." ”

"Giggles," the little girl laughed again, "that sir, are you afraid of the dark?" ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of you, if you shout indecency, I can't wash it even if I jump into the Yellow River."

"What is the Yellow River?"

He remembered that at this time, the Yellow River was still called "River", just like the Yangtze River was still called "River".

He had no choice but to say, "Let's go, let's talk in the square." ”

He quickened his pace and came to a brightly lit place.

Na Zhe looked back, and a little girl in a long lake green dress walked over.

She was slender, and her height had just reached Nazhe's chest, about twelve or thirteen years old.
