"Brother Lin Jie, under Li Yu, the word thorny."

Li Yu hatefully accentuated the last two words.

Targeted by his gaze, Su Xiaozhou immediately avoided it, looked left and right, and said: "This West Market is more lively than East City!" Look at the two lamp towers in the east and west, a series of eight large light wheels, the style of the lanterns is exquisite and strange, not worse than that of Daming Palace. There are really a lot of people who come to enjoy the lanterns tonight, and the Shangyuan Lantern Festival is nothing more than that. Eh——, what about Xue Yi? ”

"He got drunk and sent home." Li Yu replied angrily.

Worried that someone would watch him when he was watching the lanterns, Xiaozhou would be uncomfortable, so he sent Xue Yiguanmeng home at lunch, but he didn't expect her to bring someone here.

"You-"

Lu Ji suddenly exclaimed, "You are the ......"

He glanced left and right, and hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "You are the bastard who burned His Highness?" ”

"What?!"

In the noisy environment, Su Xiaozhou thought that he had misheard.

Burning His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a trivial matter, how could she not have heard of it at all? Could it be the past that Brother Wang Zhao said? Li Yu is really reckless...... has committed such a serious thing, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still calls him a brother and brother, and his mind is quite open-minded.

Lu Ji winked at her and said mysteriously, "I heard that he brought gunpowder into the East Palace to play, and accidentally injured His Highness." ”

Su Xiaozhou's eyes widened, "There are such things!" ”

It seems that the former Taifu made a lot of publicity about it, but he didn't tell her. Sure enough, students who do not do well in schoolwork are not loved by their teachers, and they can't even listen to gossip.

"It's not—"

Lu Ji lowered his voice, "Have you seen that fire mark on His Highness's shoulder?" I heard that it was left at that time. ”

"Ahh

Su Xiaozhou was shocked, "It turned out to be that!" His Highness said that he himself accidentally knocked over the candlestick and burned it, but it was actually injured by gunpowder......"

"What did you say?"

Li Yu pulled her to his side, "The 'fire marks' on His Highness's body...... Is it serious? How do you see that? ”

"What's all the fuss?"

Lu Ji leaned forward and said nonchalantly: "A few of us have served His Royal Highness since childhood, and we saw it when we bathed together, what is so surprising?" ”

"You ...... Bathing together? ”

Li Yu looked at Su Xiaozhou in surprise, then turned to Lu Ji, his fingertips swiped between the two, and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure......?" Bathed with her? ”

Lu Ji scratched his head, "I seem to be ...... I haven't bathed with the boat. However, when bathing in soup in winter, she must have been to Lishan with His Royal Highness. Brother Fishbone, you don't have to blame yourself too much for this matter, that scar is not too big, and it has no effect on His Highness's body. ”

Most of what he said was to comfort Li Yu, and His Royal Highness's shoulders were red, like the fire marks of half of his wings, which was vivid and frightening in retrospect.

"yes, it was all when I was a kid. Maybe it's long gone by now—"

Su Xiaozhou snorted, and all his thoughts were on the matter of Li Yu bringing gunpowder into the palace.

"Why did you bring gunpowder into the East Palace? That's a forbidden thing! Since you were His Highness's playmate when he was a child, it is impossible for the division commanders of the East Palace not to tell you. She said thoughtfully.

Li Yu showed a little guilt, "I can't understand this matter to you." I didn't bring the so-called 'gunpowder' into the palace, but I just brought a secret treasure collected from the people, and I wanted to use it to cure His Royal Highness the Prince's illness. It's a pity that I was too young to control it properly, and I lost my hand, killing Brother Koharu and hurting His Royal Highness......"

*******

The full moon rises in the east, and the lights are lit up.

The West Market is wide open, lively and extraordinary, and between the largest "Yangzhou Silk Shop" and "Big Food Carpet Shop" on the main street, a new open-faced and magnificent wine shop has been opened. In the middle of the city, every inch of land is expensive, and with such a large storefront, the boss can indeed write it.

The liquor displayed at the entrance is full of everything from grapes from the Western Regions to the flower carvings and pine mashes of the south of the Yangtze River. This is not just something that can be done with money, the Tang Dynasty government-run liquor, and the private liquor store must have an excellent relationship with the government to put all kinds of liquor; The sale of foreign liquor requires a separate market order from the Zhujing Administration. I don't know what kind of person the owner of the store is, and he can get through such a relationship.

In the private room facing the window on the third floor of the wine shop, Li Yu and Su Xiaozhou sat with strange expressions, and next to them were chattering Lu Ji and the resurrection without saying a word.

Not long after they sat down, they served stuffed liyu soup, mandarin fish grill, Taihu whitebait soup, hump grill, and Songjiang sea bass...... Ten kinds of hot dishes, asoaki pear, red crisp, gyokuro dough...... Sixteen delicate dim sum items fill the wine table.

The little guy brought two more wine jars, "Suzhou plum wine, Yangzhou chrysanthemum wine." ”

When the mud seal is opened left and right, the freshness of plums, the fragrance of chrysanthemums and the aroma of wine come to your nose together. Fresh and pure, sweet and sour, people feel as if they are in the hazy Jiangnan.

Lu Ji sniffed and immediately shouted: "What kind of fruit wine and flower wine do you drink?!" It's not strong enough! Our brothers have always only drunk craft brew, and we have come to move two jars of 'Penglai Spring', and we will not return tonight if we are not drunk! ”

"You only drink spirits......"

Li Yu probed in front of Su Xiaozhou, "I didn't see it, the little brother-in-law is so brave!" You and I are not familiar enough, and we need to know more about it in the future. ”

"Ahem—"

Su Xiaozhou was a little weak-hearted, "It has always been my brothers who drink, and I watched from the sidelines." ”

"Hahaha——, Xiaozhou, what are you humble? You and I go out of the palace gate, but it represents the East Palace, and if you can't drink guts, you have to be strong! ”

As he spoke, Lu Ji's eyes suddenly widened, "Brother Yuting, you just called Brother Xiaozhou." That...... You are the one who negotiated with the third lady of the Su family, the fifth son of the British Mansion?! ”

Li Yu nodded, "Exactly." ”

Lu Ji grinned, "Brother Li is so blessed!" Looking at Xiaozhou's appearance, you can know that his sister must be beautiful and fragrant. ”

In Su Xiaozhou's frightened eyes, Li Yu smiled, "That's true." Expectant wife and brother-in-law...... Born in general. ”

"Oh, yes!"

Lu Ji patted his head, "I almost forgot, Xiaozhou and his third sister are twin brothers and sisters." Eh, the third lady is not young, when are you going to get married? Su Changshi is not in Beijing all the year round, and when he returns to Beijing this winter, it is best to handle the family affairs, so as to save the third lady from wasting her years. ”

Li Yu glanced at Su Xiaozhou, "What Brother Lin Jie said is that he is indeed not young...... I will definitely try to marry her as soon as possible. ”

Su Xiaozhou raised his head suddenly, glared at him fiercely, and shouted: "Little guy——, add two more altars of 'Bamboo Leaf Green'!" ”

Smelling a hint of gunpowder, Lu Ji hurriedly got up, "I'll go out and wash my hands-"

"Whoa-" opened the door with a bang, and a wonderful aroma came to the face. A woman in a pink skirt hurriedly walked by and accidentally bumped into him.

"Miss, offended!" Lu Ji apologized again and again.

The girl seemed to be frightened, took a silk handkerchief and half-covered her face, apologized a few times, and trotted away with her head down.

"It smells so good—"

Su Xiaozhou sniffed carefully and muttered, "I don't know which spice shop she uses incense, Your Highness may like it." ”

……

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little dizzy.

"I think it's almost the same today, why don't you find an inn and rest early."

Su Xiaozhou was the first to stand up, and if it weren't for Li Yu's timely help, he would have fallen on the wine table.

"Wait! Don't move, all of you. This meal, my brother invited! Lu Ji said with a big tongue.

Knowing the temperament of his rich son, he couldn't grab the money for the wine, so he would be angry for a long time, Su Xiaozhou didn't move, and dragged Li Yu to the side and waited.

Lu Ji dug it out for a long time, only to find that the money bag was missing. When I touched it again, my waist was empty.

"Oops...... My jade pendant! ”

Startled, most of his wine immediately woke up.

As soon as he heard him say that Peiyu was gone, Su Xiaozhou's face instantly changed. Everyone in the East Palace knew that it was his mother's relic, his most precious thing. The jade pendant is rare and valuable, and it is something he misses for his mother who died young.
