Tear ------

In the Qianqing Palace, a fold was torn in half, and then it became fragments, and then it was sprinkled out by the angry Zhu Yuanzhang, and it fluttered like snowflakes on the ground and the case in front of him.

The eunuchs waiting on the side were silent, so frightened that they didn't dare to speak, and even held their breath tightly, for fear that they would accidentally touch the moldy head and become a new generation of freshly baked "back-pot man".

Which bastard made another mistake and provoked Long Yan's anger?

Doesn't he know how to take care of people with disabilities?

The person who is missing the third leg is already very miserable, every day in the palace, he has to carefully serve this son of heaven, lest one day something goes wrong, his head will no longer grow on his neck------ this damn thing, is there really no mercy at all?

How unreasonable!

The eunuchs had already drawn a small circle in their hearts at this moment, silently cursing the bastard whose name was not yet known------

At this time, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the Jinshi had not yet entered the imperial city, and Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet changed the crown of the Son of Heaven. He wore a black gauze winged crown on his head, and wore a yellow Tuanlong narrow-sleeved round-necked robe, which was close to his body, with only a little red at the neckline.

His hands were propped up straight on the table in front of him, the green tendons on his old withered arms were bulging, his gray brows were upside down, and there was a chilling murderous aura in his voice: "What kind of father is seriously ill and wants to serve on the side of the sickbed------ heh, it is clear that he is looking for a reason to put his high shelf for me!" ”

Before the imperial examination was released, there was news of the champion in the market, isn't this contempt for the imperial court?

Is it the imperial court to open a science and choose a scholar, or is it the champion of the gold list selected by the people themselves?

In order to maintain the majesty of the imperial court, Zhu Yuanzhang directly removed Li Qian's volume, so that the original list of eyes made up for the champion.

"Your Majesty ------ Anger"

"Anger? Hmph------ those who despise the Son of Heaven and commit the great crime of bullying the king should be killed! The sin should be delayed!! Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, and gave an order in a deep and cold tone: "Come on, give me the first Li Qian in Zhejiang immediately!" ”

"Obey ------"

------

Due to the inconvenience of rushing at night, Li Qian had just passed through Zhenjiang along the canal and arrived in Changzhou Mansion.

The water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, and there are many rivers and lakes, and it will be a long detour by land, which is far less convenient and fast than the direct access along the canal and waterway. In addition, the carriage and mule carriage were too bumpy, and it was not as comfortable as the boat.

It was already afternoon at this time, and after the passenger ship docked at the wharf, Li Qian led a pair of sweet-looking twin maids off the boat, and first found a restaurant nearby to eat.

People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic.

The ship also brought dry food, but it was always inferior to the good food and wine in the restaurant, which made people appetite.

At this time, the transportation is also quite developed, there are many elegant restaurants near the wharf, Li Qian walked all the way, and walked into a three-story restaurant that looks the most upscale, called Wangjiang Building.

In the early Ming Dynasty, except for the capital of a country such as Jinling City and a few big cities, there were few large-scale restaurants with five floors in other places, and there were not many pavilions and pavilions with three floors.

As soon as he thought of the era he was in, Li Qian felt very uncomfortable, and there were too many rules and regulations in all aspects.

In the era when Hong Wuye sat in the Dragon Court, all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation were too controlled, and if you couldn't wear the wrong clothes, or use the wrong tableware and cups for dinner------ then you would really be a tragedy, because this is a big crime of trespassing! Once someone complains, it is likely to end up being a head-to-head end.

But no matter how you say it, being an ordinary person is still much freer than being an official.

Imagine, Zhu Yuanzhang has to go to court early every day, and the officials also have to be in Yinshi, that is, at three o'clock in the morning, and they have to rush to line up outside the noon gate before dawn, and they will go to court after the palace gate is opened. And those officials who don't need to go to the Chang Dynasty also have to go to the yamen at this time to order and start working.

It is said that the officials at this time had a habit of explaining the aftermath every morning before going to the court, because they could not go back if they did not go. After that, if you can return safely in the evening, it is worth celebrating happily with your family.

There are even a small number of officials who use the excuse of calling illness or mourning to avoid the disaster by saying goodbye to the old and returning to their hometowns, and they still have lingering palpitations when they recall the events of that time in the future. The various steps of officialdom life made them fearful, and they would rather work in the farmland than become officials and serve the imperial court------

It can be seen how famous Zhu Yuanzhang is, making those officials and men tremble every day, as if they are facing a great enemy.

After asking for a private room to sit down, the shopkeeper had a signature smile on his face, and leaned in front of Li Qian and asked, "What do you want to eat, we have all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas in this store, and the signature dishes are absolutely delicious------

Li Qian didn't bother to listen to his boastful words, he glanced back at the two little maids who were standing behind him and serving him, and couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong?" Let's all sit down and eat. ”

"Young master, we can't share the table with you." Zipei said.

"When I was in Jinling, why didn't I see you so well-behaved? Could it be that you will have to eat standing up later? ”

Li Qian wondered in his heart, not to mention Zipei, even Zijin had dinner with him when he was in Jinling, why did he become restrained at this time?

Zi Pei pouted her ruddy little mouth, and explained with a face full of grievances: "Isn't this outside, how can there be a maid who eats at the same table with his own young master, it will make the young master lose face, if you turn around, let the old master know------"

"What a shameless person, my fake champion is shameful enough, sit down and eat." Li Qian smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that this matter had spread throughout Jinling City, right?

"Oh------"

Zipei answered, and then sat down beside him happily, completely heartless.

Li Qian looked at Zijin who was still standing still, deliberately lowered his face, and said angrily: "If you don't come and sit down obediently, I will drive you out, young master!" ”

"Huh? Young master, don't, people can just sit------" Zijin was frightened by him when he boarded, and he was very busy and came to the other side and sat down next to him.

When the shopkeeper who was waiting on the side saw this scene, he said in his heart that this was really a strange thing, and there was also Young Master Kuo who forced the maid to eat at the same table with him. However, he could also see that this was an easy-going son, and the two little maids he brought with him were quite cute and cute------

Come to think of it, they should have warmed up the bed, no wonder they can have this treatment!

Li Qian didn't know about his careful thoughts, so he said directly: "Little second brother, bring me a pot of daughter red, eight years old!" If you're going to eat------ let's pick up your signature dish and serve it to 10 dishes. ”

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute, the food will come up soon!" After Xiao Er answered, he turned around and trotted out.

Li Qian was a little stunned when he saw this, hey, there is really an eight-year-old daughter in this restaurant, but I don't know if there are more than ten years old------

In fact, the daughter in the restaurant, Hong's real name is "Huadiao". The real daughter red was brewed when the girl was born, and it was stored for many years, and when the girl grew up, she would bring it to her husband's house as a congratulatory gift when she got married.

In other words, the wine can only be drunk at wedding feasts.

And if the girl unfortunately dies and opens the wine halfway, it becomes a flower carving. Later, people felt that the name of the flower carving was not auspicious, so they used to call it also the daughter red.

In this era, the earliest age of marriage for a woman was thirteen years old. If it is really a ten-year-old Huadiao, the rich and mellow taste may not be much different from the real daughter red.

Soon the wine and food were served, Li Qian took two small cups, and asked Zijin and Zipei, "Do you two want to drink two glasses?" ”

"Yes------"

Zi Pei hurriedly answered, but then seemed a little hesitant, and his little hand unconsciously stroked the corner of his clothes and said, "But young master, what if ------ people get drunk?" ”

As the maids of the Li family, they rarely have the opportunity to drink such good wine------ let alone good wine, even some very ordinary wine is rarely stained. After all, the subordinate has to work, and the maid is drunk, who will serve the young master?

Li Qian glanced back at Zijin again, and found that she was also staring straight at the wine glass in her hand, obviously wanting to drink two glasses, but she was embarrassed to speak.

"Wouldn't it be enough to drink less?"

At that moment, he didn't ask their opinions more, and filled two cups with a crisp heart, and put them on the table in front of them.

At this time, the degree of wine is generally not high, and most of the rice wine in the south of the Yangtze River is Shaoxing, which is generally about 20 degrees. A small pot of flower carvings, Li Qian himself couldn't get drunk after drinking it all.

However, the maids do not have much alcohol, and although they are not drunk to the point of being unconscious, they are dizzy and walking around is still very likely to happen.

Li Qian didn't plan to help the two little girls get on the boat later, so he didn't dare to let them drink more, and most of this small pot of flower carvings ended up in his stomach.

Full of wine and food, the three masters and servants went out of Wangjiang Tower. When he was about to walk to the pier, he was greeted by a group of officers and soldiers dressed in flying fish robes and embroidered spring knives at their waists.

Seeing this posture, Li Qian was startled: "This outfit is not ------"

All sorts of frightening rumors instantly came to mind.

The legendary brocade guard?!!

Li Qian never dreamed that the terrifying Jinyiwei seemed to be the person he was going to arrest this time?

In fact, as early as the twentieth year of Hongwu, Jinyi Guards had been largely abolished, and these people were just imperial guards, with the title of General of the Han Dynasty. Of course, it is still a kind of Jinyiwei, but Zhu Yuanzhang has already pulled out his teeth, and he has no right to be imprisoned.

Li Qian never thought that he would not let Zhu Yuanzhang let go of himself when he raised the banner of "filial piety".

In a panic, he naturally couldn't remember these things, so he subconsciously pulled the two maids and turned around to slip away. At this time, he still had a little bit of luck, hoping that these people had not recognized their identities for a while, and they would avoid the catastrophe in front of them first.

However, this is just an extravagant hope, and he has just taken a few steps, and there is a shout from the back: "Zhejiang scholar Li Qian, dare to run when you see the top business?" I really want to openly resist the decree?!! ”

“------”

As if he had been immobilized under a spell, Li Qian stopped in his tracks.
