"Brother Carefree, are you really not going back with us?" Yu Chi Baoqi asked.

"You guys go back first, don't worry, I'm fine."

Seeing Tang Xiao's bloodshot eyes, Yu Chi Baoqi sighed helplessly. For some reason, Tang Xiao today is completely different from yesterday, standing next to him always feels cold on his neck.

Cheng Huaibi patted Tang Xiao's shoulder and didn't say much. Several people beat their horses and stepped on the morning dew and left the imperial tomb.

For the next two days, the owner of the jade pendant did not reappear. Tang Xiao was on duty day and night, and he was already emaciated.

In Fengtian County, Tang Xiao led the horse and walked on the street. In front is the drum tower of Fengtian County, and opposite is an inn called 'Welcome Guest'. Maybe it had just opened, and the guy at the inn was sweeping up the debris with a broom.

Seeing someone coming, the guy stopped. This is dressed up and obviously has an extraordinary identity.

Thinking of this, the guy hurriedly greeted him with a smile and said, "This guest officer, please!" ”

Tang Xiao handed the horse to the guy at the inn and walked in.

"What do you want to eat?"

Tang Xiao glanced around, it was quite clean. He unfastened his cloak and sat down in a spot near the door. Here, you can see the Drum Tower opposite.

"What is most famous here?" Although Tang Xiao spoke official dialect, he had a Jiangnan accent.

The man's eyes lit up and he replied, "The breakfast in the small shop has tofu brain and steamed bread, and eating these in the morning will make you feel good for the day." ”

When Tang Xiao heard about these two delicacies, he immediately had some appetite and said, "Let's have two portions of each first." ”

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute!" After speaking, he shouted to the back kitchen: "Two portions of tofu brain and two servings of steamed bread!" ”

After a while, a young lady came forward with two bowls of tofu brains, and the guy just now came with two plates of steamed shortbread. The tofu brain is white and tender, and the shortbread is golden and fragrant, which makes people very appetizing when they look at it.

Tang Xiao tasted a few bites, one was smooth and tender, light and refreshing; A soft pastry, oily but not greasy. In a few moments, he ate all the food on the table and asked the men to serve one each.

As soon as I was halfway through eating, I saw a maid waiting on the clock tower opposite. Tang Xiao was not in a hurry, and after eating, he drank a few mouthfuls of hot soup before checking out and going out. The maid obviously saw Tang Xiao coming out of the inn, and turned around and went downstairs.

"Your Highness, please come with me."

The innkeeper handed the reins to Tang Xiao and said that he would come often. Tang Xiao nodded and threw him a few coins of broken silver, and the guy suddenly smiled.

Tang Xiao followed behind the maid and walked through several alleys to a house with a plaque on the door that read Du Mansion.

"Girl, you're back!" The little guy who guarded the door stepped forward and looked at Tang Xiao secretly.

"Take us to your lord."

The little guy hurriedly nodded and took the two of them to the main hall of the Du Mansion.

Walking into the door, Tang Xiao saw a middle-aged scribe sitting next to Yang, his eyes were starry, a wisp of beautiful hair, and his temperament exuded a resolute and resolute attitude. When the middle-aged scribe saw Tang Xiao, he hurriedly got up and sent the servants to retreat, and then bowed.

"Du Mou paid a visit to His Royal Highness King Anle."

"Hurry up, please." Tang Xiao hurriedly helped the scribe up.

Yang introduced on the side: "Worry-free, this is Mr. Du Ke Mingdu, who used to be the master of Dali Temple. Mr. Du is smart and knowledgeable, and has the talent of Wang Zuo. ”

Hearing Yang's solemn introduction, Tang Xiao couldn't help but look at this Mr. Du twice. He didn't understand why the Yang family took such great pains to let him meet Mr. Du, but seeing that this Mr. Du was so beautiful, Yang's arrangement must have a deep meaning.

"Mrs. Yang doesn't want to say these things to His Highness, they are all old things from more than ten years ago, so what is it to mention them."

"Sir's great talent, even if it is a hundred years later, it will be praised by future generations, I just tell the truth."

"You, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and your temper has not changed."

"Isn't it the same, sir? I have lived in seclusion here for more than ten years, not for the sake of the past. ”

"The past is not mentioned, and it only adds to the sadness." Looking back, he found that Tang Xiao was left aside, and Mr. Du hurriedly apologized: "Du Mou's words are wrong, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive me." ”

Tang Xiao was listening carefully to the conversation between the two, and Mr. Du suddenly came out with such a sentence, which made him feel like he was halfway through reading the story and saw it end suddenly.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay, sir, go ahead, leave me alone." ”

Tang Xiao said this, which made Mr. Du feel even more embarrassed, and apologized again. The two of them made a fuss like this, but they also got a little closer. Mr. Du talked about current politics and people's livelihood, and Tang Xiao occasionally interjected on the side, which had the finishing touch, which made Mr. Du amazed.

Yang looked at the two of them from the side, bowing his head secretly, and a flash of relief flashed in his eyes.

"Your Highness and the rumors are really like two people. If it weren't for what he saw and heard with his own eyes and ears, Du would really have believed those rumors and misunderstood His Highness. ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiao was ashamed and said: "This king is just talking nonsense, and he doesn't know much." ”

"Your Highness, don't be modest, I, Du Ruhui, am the most observant person in my life......"

Hearing the words 'Du Ruhui', Tang Xiao was stunned on the spot, and he didn't listen to a word of the following words, and the name Du Ruhui kept echoing in his ears.

The plot is broken!

Well, he has seen Fang Xuanling, and he is also immune when he sees Du Ruhui this time.

But...... Why do I want to scold now, sir!

"Your Highness?" Du Ruhui looked at Tang Xiao's appearance and didn't understand why he was so surprised.

Tang Xiao came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Du ...... Mr. Du, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now. ”

Hearing this, Du Ruhui's eyes widened: Can you be distracted like this?

Halfway through noon, a light snow suddenly fell in the sky, and it didn't take long for the earth and mountains to be covered with a white veil.

After everyone had eaten the luncheon, Tang Xiao and Yang should also leave.

"Brother Du family, would you like to go to Chang'an to live for a few days?"

At the time of parting, Yang actually changed his name, showing a little charming. Such a sudden change made Tang Xiao almost pop out of his eyes. Is this still the Aunt Yang he met in the past few days?

Du Ruhui's reaction was quite calm, and she refused with a smile: "Wan'er, forget it." I have been away from Chang'an for many years, and now I am over half a hundred years old, and I am afraid that I will have a lot of discomfort when I go back. ”

Aunt Yang's name turned out to be Yang Wan'er.

Tang Xiao noticed the look in Aunt Yang's handover, and instantly understood that this was asking him to help be a lobbyist.

"Mr. Du, if you go to Chang'an, you don't have to live in the city. I have a grange at the foot of the South Mountain, which is under construction recently, and some of my ideas will be realized through this grange. ”

Seeing that Du Ruohui's eyes showed a little hesitation, he became firm again in an instant. Tang Xiao knew that persuading him would definitely backfire, which was not what he wanted.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiao continued: "Sir doesn't need to agree at this moment, if you think about it carefully and let people notify me, I will send someone to pick up Mr. and go to the Grange to live for a while." When the gentleman gets tired of it, he will come back. ”

Hearing Tang Xiao say so much, Du Ruhui was a little moved, and arched his hand: "His Royal Highness's fist is magnificent, Du feels indescribable." If Du really wants to go to Chang'an one day, he will send someone to inform His Highness. ”

That's it, just right. Neither of them said much, and then said goodbye.

The carriage drove south against the wind and snow, galloping all the way, and arrived at Xianyang City before dark. Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Xiao found an inn to stay in and set off early tomorrow morning.
