Chapter 281: I owe him a favor
Li Chenbai is not a person who has not explained.
Li Chenlan walked in, walked to the study, and sure enough, she found a letter left by Li Chenbai on the table. The letter indicated that after he was appointed as a Shujishi, he was required to serve the emperor every day.
This small courtyard is too far from the palace to travel back and forth.
Therefore, he rented a courtyard near the palace to live temporarily, so that if Li Chenlan came back, he could find him directly according to the address.
Li Chenlan found Li Chenbai's new residence according to the address, and found that the corner was Prince Yu's mansion, Li Chenlan: "......" Well, it is really difficult to make her believe that this is a coincidence.
Guarding the door is Li Chenbai's scholar, Qingcheng.
Since Li Chenbai was appointed as a Jishi, he specially repaired his book and went home to let him come over to serve. Qingcheng naturally knew Li Chenlan, and when she saw Li Chenlan, she hurriedly welcomed her in, which was a three-entry courtyard.
In Yanjing City, where every inch of land is valuable, such a small courtyard can't get down without 100,000 taels of silver.
What's more, the location of this small courtyard is close to the palace, which is even more difficult.
Li Chenlan went all the way, except for the subordinates who took care of the yard and waited, she didn't see any residents. When Li Chenbai came back in the evening, he was pleasantly surprised to see Li Chenlan. The two had dinner and talked around the candle, and after a while, Li Chenlan inquired about the origin of this courtyard.
Sure enough, it is inseparable from Zhou Yu.
According to Li Chenbai, after he was admitted to the Jinshi, he had some small problems in the first part of the palace examination.
Because of the villain's trouble, the emperor who was annoyed at that time was almost dragged out and beheaded, but thanks to the nine emperors who were also in the palace at the time, he was able to save a small life. Li Chenbai didn't want to mention the reason too much, only saying that it was related to his teacher's old enemy.
His teacher refers to Liu Shenzhi of Anping Academy.
In the past three years, Liu Shenzhi has poured too much effort into Li Chenbai.
Two years ago, he was officially accepted as an apprentice, which is also the proper meaning of the question.
None of this is important, the important thing is that Li Chenbai is in danger and only a few words. But at that time, Li Chenlan was shocked when she heard the scene. Fortunately, there was no danger, and Li Chenbai turned the danger into a disaster.
Li Chenlan had an indescribable feeling in her heart, thinking that Zhou Yu had the intention to get close to her third brother.
Now that I think about it, he just had good intentions.
Listening to Li Chenbai's words again, since he was appointed as a Shujishi, in order to thank the Nine Emperor Princes for saving his life, and because the emperor was seriously ill, he could only secretly send two bottles of bamboo leaf wine left by Li Chenlan to Prince Yu's mansion.
As a result, that night, he received a letter from the Flying Arrow, and the Nine Emperor Princes asked him to meet in private.
Li Chenbai thought that the Nine Emperor Princes had taken a fancy to his talent and wanted to take him for his own use.
Because of the grace of saving lives, I can't help but go.
Who knew that when he arrived at the place, Zhou Yu didn't say a word, but only dragged him to drink, and he drank the two bottles of bamboo leaf wine he sent to Prince Yu's mansion. Li Chenbai looked at the Nine Emperor Princes who kept pouring their own wine one by one, and he was simply confused.
There are two full bottles of bamboo leaf wine, although the degree is not high, and it is easy to get drunk after drinking it like this.
Sure enough, in the end, the Nine Emperor Princes fell drunk in front of him, muttering something in their mouths.
Li Chenbai listened closer, and vaguely heard the words "Lan girl", but he was not sure.
After all, in Li Chenbai's opinion, his fourth sister is a lazy character, except for coming to Yanjing City with him for most of the past six years, and because of the need to collect different kinds of energy, she has run a little far.
I hardly go out of the house, and spend more than half of my time at home.
How could she have the opportunity to meet a character like the Nine Emperors?
Therefore, although he felt that Zhou Yu's behavior was suspicious, Li Chenbai didn't dare to think too much.
Early the next morning, Zhou Yu sent someone over to hand over and give him this small courtyard. said that he never took advantage of others, the two bottles of wine given by Li Chenbai were of extraordinary value, and this small courtyard was only regarded as a return, and the two did not owe each other from now on.
Li Chenbai hesitated for two days, but finally moved in.
No matter what the reason, since the Nine Emperor Princes gave him this courtyard, they naturally would not take it back. If he doesn't stay, he won't give face to the Nine Emperor Princes. Don't say that the Nine Emperor Princes have a life-saving grace for him, even if there is no stubble, the identity of the Nine Emperor Princes is there.
But as long as Li Chenbai still wants to make achievements in his career, he will not think about offending him.
"Lan'er, do you know the Nine Emperor Princes?"
After Li Chenbai finished talking about these causes and consequences, he saw that Li Chenlan's face did not belong, and suddenly understood everything. It turned out that the three words that Zhou Yu chanted after being drunk were really "Lan girl", not that he heard it wrong.
"Well, he's the man I mentioned to you earlier, the man I rescued on the island."
Li Chenlan said with difficulty, "More than three years ago, he was on a desert island, and I had a relationship with him. Later, he would sometimes go to the small fishing village to look for me, and I would only treat him as a friend until half a year ......ago."
"What happened more than half a year ago?"
"Nothing."
Li Chenlan inexplicably didn't want to talk to Li Chenbai about this past, after all, she had let Zhou Yu down, "Brother, if the Nine Emperors have something difficult to do in the future, and you happen to be able to help, just help him, right?" I owe him a favor. ”
"Okay."
Li Chenbai nodded dryly.
But he had a different understanding in his heart, looking at the appearance of the Nine Emperor Princes, he obviously had a deep affection for Li Chenlan.
I thought that the palace tried to relieve him at the beginning, but it was also for Li Chenlan's sake, otherwise with the embarrassing situation of the Nine Emperor Princes now surrounded by enemies, he would not do such a thing that would set him on fire no matter what.
A man who is willing to take risks for a woman is still very likely to lose his head.
If he doesn't have any thoughts about this woman, Li Chenbai doesn't believe it.
As for Li Chenlan, looking at her tangled appearance at the moment, it is obvious that she is not without feelings for the Nine Emperor Princes.
It's just that his sister has always had the right idea.
Not long ago, she was still in love with Dr. Narauszi, and she was unwilling to sacrifice her so-called "ideal life" for this relationship. Despite this, he had met the Nine Emperor Princes twice and drank wine once.
Li Chenbai has never seen the "little doctor Fang" in Li Chenlan's mouth, but as far as Li Chenlan's description is concerned.
Not as reliable as the Nine Emperor Princes at all, if possible, this brother-in-law is still very recognized. Since it's your own person, you should take care of it in the future. originally lived in the courtyard given by the Nine Emperor Princes, and Li Chenbai was still apprehensive.
Now it's justified, what's wrong with him living in his future brother-in-law's yard?
What, you say that people may not be?
It doesn't matter, even if it's not, for the sake of the Nine Emperors who are so visionary and actually have a deep affection for his own sister, then he is also his own person.
"Brother, I'll go back to the small fishing village tomorrow, do you have anything to say for me to bring a father?"
Li Chenlan took a sip of rose wine and felt a little upset.
Tonight, I talked to Li Chenbai around the candle, and both of them felt that it was more important to drink a little wine. Li Chenbai drinks bamboo leaf wine, and Li Chenlan, as a girl, naturally prefers rose wine. I don't know if it's because the night is too good, or if I drank too much.
Li Chenlan's eyes were sour, and she had an urge to cry.
She must have been away from home for too long and homesick!
