Liu Yu and his wife went upstairs, and the woman who was talking to Hu Xuan and Li Mi bowed her head slightly, so that they could sit down, Sui Yi couldn't wait to ask, "Miss Lan, I don't know what to introduce today?" ”

The woman didn't speak, Liu Yue leaned over and asked Sui Yi in a low voice: "You didn't mean a banquet, why don't you let us use calligraphy and painting to satisfy our hunger?" ”

The woman on the side had very smart ears, even if Liu Yue was very quiet, she still heard it, and said with a smile: "This son is so funny, calligraphy and paintings can be watched, how can you satisfy your hunger?" Although we don't have wine-colored fish here, we still have vegetarian food, which can quench hunger. ”

"Saina?" Liu Yu frowned slightly, and his feelings were fascinated by the alternative beauty here, so he invited him to come over and be a monk.

Think about it, this house is similar to a monk's temple, half monk, half nun. Light can be seen but not touched.

Sui Yi smiled and said: "Brother Liu, there is nothing to do, the vegetarian dishes here can taste the taste of meat." ”

Liu Yuguan Sui Yi, Li Mi, Hu Xuan's demeanor, it should not be the first time to come, entertaining, although there is no wine-colored fish here, but extremely erosive, Liu Yu has never heard of Chang'an City for young men and women to meet each other. Looking at the men and women at the table in front of the desk downstairs, they don't seem to shy away from the suspicion of men and women, and they seem to use this place as a marriage agency.

"I said, you don't look like you're here to invite me to dinner, what the hell are you doing?" Looking around the audience, Liu Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at the three people who were doing the east today.

Sui Yi smiled silently, and Hu Xuan on the side explained: "Brother Liu, you don't know what to do, Brother Sui and Brother Li have been running here for a few days, saying that they will see who can win the favor of Miss Lan first." She was one of the three proprietors of the house. ”

Liu Yu looked at Sui Yi and Li Mi with a look of shame on their faces. smiled: "The drunkard doesn't mean to drink." What I care about emotionally is the proprietress here, tell me, where is the progress? ”

Speaking of which Sui Yi and Li Mi are also not young, Li Mi is older, almost twenty-five years old and still unmarried, mainly because he has no ambition at home and no one gives him Zhang Luo, although Sui Yi has a lot of money, but his grandfather always feels that this grandson can not settle down. He didn't like the daughter-in-law he chose. When people are stable, they want to start a family, and it is normal for people to have a family.

Sui Yi smiled and said nothing, but Li Mi said: "Don't listen to Hu Xuan's words, I'm just here to have a good time, a gentleman doesn't take people's favor, let alone a woman who is a fancy to Shuda." ”

Liu Yu understood what Li Mi meant, and the feelings were all Sui Yi's lustful heart, and the other two were to accompany him over to meet his lover. Although Miss Lan was dressed in men's clothes before, Liu Yu could also tell from her demeanor that she was a young lady. The posture is good. Speaking of which, there are not many wealthy families surnamed Lan in Chang'an City, Liu Yu thought about it. I can't figure out which lady it is.

"Miss Lan, but the Lan family in the east of the city?" Liu Yu asked.

Sui Yi nodded hurriedly: "Exactly, her grandfather is Ling Lanhe, the former middle school secretary, and his uncle is still on an errand under Brother Liu." ”

Zhongshu Ling was equivalent to the prime minister's adjutant in the current dynasty, and Lan He was also an important minister in the dynasty, but he was recently involved in the case of Xu Han's rebellion against the enemy and was dismissed, and he was idle at home. And Lan He's second son, Lan Jing, is the right commander of the Royal Forest Army promoted by Liu Yuxin, and he is also an acquaintance.

Liu Yu couldn't understand why this Miss Lan was born in a famous family and had a good appearance, but she was not among the candidates for the new imperial concubine, it turned out that it was because of her grandfather Lan He's relationship with the former right minister Xu Han, after the emperor appointed Yuan Bolang as the right minister, some officials of the six yamen in the court were purged, and Lan He may have formed a conflict with Yuan Bolang because of this.

"Then I'll go back and talk to the Blue Right Commander to see if he can talk to the family for you and fulfill this marriage."

Originally, Miss Lan was very close to Sui Yi, and Sui Yi was still distressed because of this, and when she heard Liu Yu's words, Sui Yi's eyes were about to pop out, and she hurriedly thanked her. The relationship between Lan Jing and Liu Yu is different from that of ordinary bosses and subordinates, and with this relationship, it will be much easier to get married.

The vegetarian dishes were served, and sure enough, as Sui Yi said, although they were all ordinary vegetarian dishes, they tasted like chewing meat, and even Liu Yu couldn't figure out whether to eat meat or vegetarian.

"How?" Sui Yi looked at Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu with a smile, "Brother Liu, sister-in-law, it's not wrong to introduce you below, right?" ”

Liu Yu put down his chopsticks, drank a cup of tea and said with a smile: "No wonder you don't even take care of your own business, the food here is really unusual, I doubt, is this made of meat?" ”

"Definitely." Sui Yi said proudly, "You can go to the kitchen and take a look, this is Miss Lan's craft, only she can make such exquisite dishes." You said that such a young lady has both talent and appearance, and such good cooking skills, which one doesn't like it? ”

Maybe Sui Yi said that he was too complacent, Liu Yu looked at Xu Xuanzhu again, and there was a little embarrassment on her face. After all, her cooking skills were limited to being able to set her own kitchen on fire, and Liu Yu never let her go to the stove again.

"There are no absolutes in everything, eat your food." Liu Yu posted a sentence, and suddenly asked again, "You said that there are three owners here, who are the other two?" ”

Sui Yi thought for a while and said, "I don't know who one is, but you know the big proprietor of this Yashe, it is the young lady of the Qu family, and it seems that she is also on an errand in the palace." ”

Liu Yu was stunned, Qu Ning?

At that time, he also understood, no wonder it seemed like "women's liberation" everywhere here, this trend of thought was only capable of feminists like Qu Ning, and these young ladies should also be infected by her atmosphere. Women don't lose to men, and now women are better than men.

…………

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming to August 15, the situation in Chang'an City has gradually stabilized. Because this year's Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with the national funeral, all banquets and celebrations must be canceled, so this reunion festival is not as lively as usual.

The first emperor was mourned, and the new emperor ascended the throne. The edict sent to the vassal territories has been delivered, and the vassal kings and vassal lords will enter Chang'an City again twice a year. It is difficult to say whether the vassal king will be edicted or not, and the recognition of the new emperor is originally a weight placed on the lords of those places where they hold great power, and if the imperial court cannot give them enough benefits, they can completely assume a posture of not obeying the edict.

Liu Yu was most worried about King Huai's attitude.

Now the situation in Guanzhong can be described as terrible, the soldiers are basically stationed in the border pass to deal with the repeated invasions of the Turks, and Guanzhong is in the midst of a great drought without water and no food for thousands of miles, this time can be said to be the best time for the king of Huai to rebel, Liu Yue felt that if he was the king of Huai, he would not let go of such an excellent opportunity.

It is best to use political means to solve the threat of King Huai to the imperial court, but if it fails, it can only be resorted to force. And the comparison of strength, although the strength of the imperial court is above that of the King of Huai, but after all, the imperial court is responsible for the stability of a country, and the comparison between the military strength of the new emperor Su Yan and the military strength of the King of Huai is obviously at a disadvantage.

As a result, Liu Yu paid more attention to the formation of the new army and the research and development of new weapons, and when he had nothing to do, he went to the weapons research institute of the Ministry of Industry and stayed for a whole day.

Sui Yi's favor for Miss Lan Jia, Liu Yu also told Lan Jing, hoping that he could help make peace. But after a few days, Lan Jing seemed to be deliberately avoiding Liu Yu, which seemed to be a failure. On August 14, the four old friends got together again, but this time it was not in the house, but in Sui Yi's own restaurant.

"What's wrong? Crestfallen? ”

As soon as I saw Sui Yi, I felt that he was languishing with the frosted eggplant.

Sui Yi sighed silently, and Hu Xuan on the side explained: "It's not the Lan family yet, I dislike that Brother Sui is a businessman, so I directly rejected the family matter." We don't dare to go to Yashe again, so as not to be embarrassed in front of Miss Lan. ”

Liu Yu nodded in understanding. In fact, he also understands that the Lan family dislikes Sui Yi not only because of his background, but also because there are not a few courtiers from businessmen, and many wealthy families are also more or less running some businesses. The Lan family thinks that Sui Yi is uneducated, he is not from the scientific field, to put it bluntly, he is a relation, and his backer Liu Yu is still a military general who holds military power and even has some arbitrary power.

The Lan family's dislike of Sui Yi's background is tantamount to hating him Liu Yu. Originally, Liu Yu also wanted to use Sui Yi's marriage with Miss Lan to achieve the goal of getting close to Wenchen, and Lan He, the head of the Lan family, was also listed by him as one of the candidates for the new Zuo Prime Minister because of this marriage. After all, if he can compete with Yuan Bolang in the DPRK and divide the powerful and prestigious Wenchen, Liu Yu can't find it by his side at all.

Liu Yu comforted: "If this is the case, if I personally go to the Lan Mansion to propose marriage to you, I don't believe that the Lan family will turn me away without knowing how to do it." ”

Sui Yi was embarrassed: "Brother Liu, I don't think you should go, the people of the Lan family are very arrogant, I wanted to visit the day before yesterday, but before I entered the door, I was turned away, and Lan He found a good guest to come out and say that the Lan family never accepts businessmen." With this kind of grandfather, I would rather die for Miss Lan. ”

Sui Yi's generosity made Liu Yu feel that this matter was unlucky, and a political marriage that was originally good was destroyed by the arrogance of the literati of Lanhe, and Liu Yu even had a heart of revenge. But thinking that Lan He's son Lan Jing was still helpful to him, the years of revenge passed in a flash. But he still found Lan Jing and wanted to ask about it.

"Father...... He disagreed, and despite repeated persuasions with his brother, his father remained unmoved. Lan Jing faced Liu Yu with an embarrassed face.

As the right commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Lan Jing naturally knew that Lu Dao offended the president, and even the fate of the emperor's most trusted person. Now the entire Lan family is not implicated because of Xu Han's case, only Lan Jing, a general, is not implicated, if he is dismissed again, the entire Lan family's power in Chang'an City will collapse.

Liu Yu nodded, it seemed that not only Lan Jing, but even Miss Lan's father was very supportive of this marriage, leaving only Lan and this one obstructor.

Liu Yu sighed: "In the past few days, the emperor is worried about the new candidate for the left minister, and Ling Zun was originally the first choice, but now he ...... Alas! ”

The words have been said very clearly, Lan Jing was shocked when he heard this, and said that he would definitely persuade his father when he went back.

Because of this matter, Liu Yu has lost his favor with Lan He, and if Lan He really wakes up, he will only regard that old stubbornness as a pawn to balance power. But what he didn't expect was that the next day, at noon on August 15, Liu Yu was having lunch at home, when he saw Lu Chu'er running into the inner hall like a rabbit and said, "Uncle, uncle, there is an old man surnamed Lan outside, with his two sons pleading. Why don't you go out and have a look? ”

Liu Yu smiled bitterly, it seems that the literati are arrogant or something, and they are all nonsense in the face of political interests. (To be continued......)
