Ruan Mingyu had already ordered the courtyard to prepare melon and fruit fragrant tea, personally served it in front of Ruan Mingfei, and said with a smile: "Autumn is in full bloom, and eat something that is clear and hot." ”

He peeled a large pomegranate and handed half of it to Ruan Mingfei, "I borrowed flowers to offer this fruit to the Buddha." This morning, I saw my father sending fresh vegetables and fruits to the various houses. This pomegranate harvest is small this year, and my father only sent it to your room except for the main room and the old lady's side, and I intercepted a few halfway. ”

Ruan Mingfei took the pomegranate, but smiled bitterly, "The third brother heard it when he wanted to come." You don't have to cover for your father. He is so angry with me now, how can he send fruit to my yard. ”

"Where does the big brother say......"

Ruan Mingfei waved his hand to interrupt him: "The fresh fruits and vegetables at home are all delivered in the morning. When I got home this afternoon, the fruits and vegetables had already been delivered, and I didn't see the pomegranates. Of course, when I go back later, I should be able to see a basket or two of pomegranates. ”

Ruan Mingyu peeled the remaining half of the pomegranate seeds and grinned, "Big brother is still so discerning, he can't hide anything from you." He put the pomegranate in his mouth and asked, "Then what is it about you that you provoked my father?" ”

Seeing that Ruan Mingfei was about to excuse himself, he said seriously, "Today, the second brother also said that we should be brothers in the war, do you really want to be separated from me as outsiders say?" ”

"You just returned to Beijing, and the Guihui will be in front of you again, why do you ......" Ruan Mingfei looked at Ruan Mingyu's insistent eyes and sighed, "It was also my negligence that poked out this leak." ”

It turned out that a month ago, Zhou Shilang of the Ministry of Officials ordered a "Nine Horses Galloping" jade carving ornament in the store. It was delivered 10 days ago. The goods were personally inspected by Ruan Mingfei, and the work in the store was sent to his house for him to personally inspect the goods.

"I don't want to think that five days ago, Zhou Shilang came to the door, saying that the tail of one of the horses was broken, and we used raw glue to fool the inspection, saying that we cheated him with shoddy."

"Is there a problem with the delivery on our side, or is Zhou Shilang sincerely slandering us?" Ruan Mingyu asked.

"This is not the most important thing, I came to the door several times to make amends, and I was even willing to pay him a new product out of my own pocket. But he would not give up. It is said that this is a birthday gift for the lord of Anping County of King Yue's Mansion. Now that the date has been missed, it is useless to lose it. You have to accuse me of fraud. ”

Ruan Mingfei couldn't help but sigh again, "Zhou Shilang is an old customer in our store, and there has never been any problems. Who knows, but he will not give up on this matter. ”

"You offended him?"

"Never!" Ruan Mingfei shouted, "He is also a big customer in the store, and it is usually too late to hold and coax, where do you dare to offend!" ”

Ruan Mingyu knew that this big brother had a soft temperament and would never easily make enemies with others. Then why did the squire put on a clear posture to rectify him this week?

"Hey, this time it seems that it was because of the mistake of the jade carving, which affected him to tie up with Lord Yue, and he was so angry that he had to drag me into the water."

Ruan Mingyu had other vague conjectures. He pondered for a moment and reassured Ruan Mingfei, "This matter may not be as complicated as you think. I happened to be drinking with a few adults in the court tonight, so I asked them to inquire about the situation first. You don't have to be anxious, what happens in the Treasure Pavilion is everyone's business, and Dad won't let you carry it alone. ”

Ruan Mingfei thanked him, and stood up with a long sigh to say goodbye. Although he had all the comforts of his third brother, he understood that since this incident, his status in his father's mind has plummeted.

Ruan Mingyu sent his eldest brother out, immediately summoned Ruan Mo, whispered a few words to him, Ruan Mo nodded in response, and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

By the time everything was arranged, it was already past midnight. Ruan Mingyu washed up and went to bed, but he always felt uncomfortable in his heart. After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered that I hadn't seen Li Jingshan for a day today!

Alas, he let out a long sigh, thinking lonely, I wonder if that girl will think of him the same way?

-----

Li Jingshan had a leisurely day. I watched the display with Ye Qing and Mengshu in the day, and went shopping with them for half a day in the afternoon.

Li Jingshan had just arrived, and she hadn't visited the capital seriously, and the other people didn't look like they were going out for the first time.

Kyoto, the land of the Son of Heaven, is not comparable to other places in its bustling and lively life. Just the East Market, which was close to their Tianqiao Hall, was enough for them to visit for a day. Banners are displayed in front of the shops on both sides, and the various colorful guils are dazzling.

There are also all kinds of goods sold along the wide street, including food and clothing, and there are also merchants with picks and porters pushing carts to sell along the streets. Everyone is in high spirits, and the prosperity of the prosperous age will always make people deeply addicted to it.

Li Jingshan sighed more than them, the prosperity of commerce in this Dalang Dynasty is completely comparable to modern times, and it is precisely because of this that the flourishing of art has been born, and craftsmen like them have a world to truly display their talents.

"Let's take advantage of the fact that the class has not officially started, and we will have fun with everything we can go to and play. Once you start training, it's hard to figure out the door of Tianqiao Hall. ”

Zhuang Runqing held a string of sugar gourds in his mouth, walked as he walked, and his eyes looked at the candied fruit stall next to him.

Wang Minzhi's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "What?" Could it be that Tianqiaotang still restricts our freedom? Doesn't that become a prison sentence? ”

"Hey, you're thinking too much. The door is always open, but you have to have the time to go out. ”

Zhuang Runqing threw away the empty bamboo skewers, "I was in the Suizhou branch, and a senior brother came to participate in the advanced training and inquired about the market with him. According to him, it was demonic training. The daily homework makes people want to transform into a thousand-armed Guanyin, and it is best to have twenty-four hours in a day......"

As he spoke, he walked to the melon and fruit stall next to him, and was pulled back by Ye Qing, "Don't talk and pant half-coveringly, if there is any news, shake it out!" ”

Zhuang Runqing picked a melon first, and then asked the old man who sold the melon to cut it, then straightened up, glared and said: "If you don't practice well, you will be reprimanded by Mr. Master, and if you fail the assessment, you will be sent home!" ”

"Assessment!"

"Repatriation!"

Several others exclaimed in low voices.

"Not really! Each training period lasts for three years, and there are dozens of people who participate in the advanced training at the beginning, and in the end, only five or six people can really survive the three years, and only five or six people have completed their studies. Even my senior brother was sent home the following year. Zhuang Runqing distributed the cut melon to everyone, "Come on, eat a slice of melon to suppress the shock." ”

The news is shocking enough. Everyone took the melon, but they were not in the mood to eat it in their mouths, so they were busy inquiring.

Ye Qing: "What are the exams?" ”

Li Jingshan: "How to take the test?" ”

Wang Minzhi: "When will I take the exam?" ”

Only Meng Shu was holding the melon and eating it slowly and methodically, with an elegant posture.

Zhuang Runqing also took a big bite of melon, "What to take the test depends on the arrangement of the master who teaches the class, and it is different every time." My brother can't speak clearly, and I don't understand either. ”

Speaking did not delay him from eating melons, he had already eaten a piece in a few words, and went to get the second piece: "It is said that there will be an assessment every month, and then a year-end assessment or something." Anyway, when the time comes, some of them will be busy. ”

Wang Minzhi pointed at him and said with a smile, "You, look at your face is as round as a moon cake, and you still care about eating." ”

Zhuang Runqing inserted a handkerchief into his mouth, shook his head and said, "Eating is a great joy in life." Besides, if you don't eat more now, how can you have the strength to support the transformation into a thousand-armed Guanyin in the future. ”

He touched his belly, "That's right, mooncakes!" Hurriedly beckoned everyone to go forward to find the moon cake stall.

They strolled around until the evening, and when it was time for dinner, Zhuang Runqing proposed, "In the future, there will be opportunities to eat Tianqiaotang's big pot meals, and it is difficult to come out, so naturally I will go to the restaurant." ”

Where to eat, naturally Zhuang Runqing, a foodie, is the best, and finally led everyone to Yunxian Pavilion, chose a place in the lobby and sat down, and it was another time to eat, drink and laugh. It wasn't until the beginning of the sea that he retreated to his heart's content.

Li Jingshan walked out of the lobby door, and happened to see the guests in front of her coming out of the private room and riding away. How familiar that figure looks. The name was on her lips, but Li Jingshan still didn't call it out. Just stood quietly in the night, watching the figure go away.

"What are you looking at, so engrossed?" Ye Qing walked over and asked.

"Ah, an acquaintance. It's gone. Li Jingshan smiled back and followed everyone to walk back slowly. Thinking that Fang Cai had inadvertently eaten under the same roof as him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but overflow with a shallow smile. After a hundred years of repair, how many years can you cultivate the same table of food?

Ah no, they didn't eat at the same table, and they still owe some cultivation.

--

Two days later, there was an echo of what Ruan Mingyu wanted to investigate. After listening to Ruan Mo's report, he went back to the mansion directly to find Ruan Mingfei.

After hearing this, Ruan Mingfei patted his thigh and said, "This is really ...... What a disaster! That little county lord is really too willful. ”

Ruan Mingyu didn't comment on this, and only took a sip of the tea that was sent, "Now that you know the reason, it's naturally easy to solve." Resolve this matter sooner rather than later. ”

Ruan Mingfei nodded again and again, and hurriedly walked out, "I'll make it clear to my father, and I'll arrange it." After taking two steps, he turned back and asked hesitantly, "That's it...... Can Tianqiaotang agree? ”

Ruan Mingyu shook his head secretly in his heart, it seems that the eldest brother has been by his father's side for many years, and he has indeed not grown much. But his face was not obvious, and he continued to give him advice with a smile: "The eldest brother and the palace have some paperwork that should be done, and Tianqiaotang naturally has no reason to stop it." Of course, you still have to say hello to the gentleman who holds the key and the sacrificial wine. ”

Ruan Mingfei thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "There is Third Brother Lao!" Please come to my yard tonight, big brother has a little Bo Yi, thank you well! ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Ruan Mingyu also put down the teacup and got up, "Speaking of which, our three brothers haven't been together for a long time, why don't we ask the second brother to come over together?" ”

"Okay, it's all up to you, it's decided!"
