This is not the first time Zhou Zimu has eaten with someone from a tavern. But this is the first time that so many people have been killed.

Qian Bao, Niu Xingang, Aunt Niu and Uncle Zhong, even Du Jiu'er, who is not welcomed, is also there.

"I don't recognize this young man yet, what's your name? Thanks to you today. Old Uncle Zhong looked at Zhou Zimu kindly.

Uncle Zhong went out to buy today, and he just missed it, but he only learned that something big had happened in the store after listening to Xiao Wu.

"My surname is Zhou, and my name is Zimo. As a fast catcher in Yangcheng, protecting civilians is what I should do. After Zhou Zimu finished saying his name, Old Uncle Zhong was obviously stunned.

Then he said without changing his face: "Your name is also special. I see that you and Miss have a good relationship, you have known each other for a long time? ”

The drunkard didn't mean to drink, so Zhou Zimu had no choice but to answer Uncle Zhong's words with twelve points of spirit: "I saved her once two months ago, and I have known her for a while. ”

This stinky boy is not ordinary, although Zhou Zimu answered casually, but Uncle Zhong heard that the two had a great relationship.

Miss has changed a lot, otherwise with Miss's original personality, it would be impossible to leave an outsider to eat at home.

That look can't deceive people, Miss must like this Zhou Zimu.

But the identity of the other party is unknown, and I can't easily let him approach Miss! Old Uncle Zhong pressed his determination.

Aunt Niu on the side listened to the words of the two, and her heart was depressed. She originally took a fancy to this Zhuang girl, and originally wanted to pair Xing'er with her. Now it seems impossible.

Du Jiu'er finally understood why the shopkeeper suddenly appeared that day, thinking that it was the vinegar jar that turned over. Fortunately, I stopped it in time, otherwise stealing chickens would not be a loss.

Everyone on the table had their own thoughts, and Jin Se generously gave Zhou Zimu a ball: "Braised lion head, you eat more meat." ”

After a full meal, Uncle Zhong chatted with Zhou Zimu again. The two of them went out of the tavern one after the other and found a quiet teahouse to sit down.

"A few years ago, I had the privilege of going to the Imperial Capital to meet the regent and talk to him." Zhong Yi held the teacup and smiled.

Zhou Zimu was not nervous, he said calmly: "Really? What kind of person is he? ”

He could see that Old Uncle Zhong was not lying, and he did talk to the regent.

But a few years ago, he hadn't crossed over, and even if Uncle Zhong knew him, he only knew the original body of the past. Some people have the same similarities, and it's a big deal to kill and not recognize them.

"A person who is not smiling, has a positive face, and is quite majestic. Interestingly, his name is the same as yours, also called Zhou Zimu. ”

Zhong Yi carefully observed Zhou Zimu's expression and wanted to see a little flaw. But the latter just chuckled and did not show it.

The Lord Regent wears a silver mask all year round, and not many people have actually seen him in real life.

And his stand-in is eight or nine points similar to his appearance, and it is impossible to tell the difference between ordinary people.

There is a stand-in in Dijing City, and Zhou Zimu is not worried at all.

"That's quite fateful." Zhou Zimu took a sip of tea, "The old gentleman is talented, he has worked in the tavern for so many years, he is really talented." Haven't you ever thought about a different job? ”

It was Zhou Zimu's turn to speak, and he could see that Old Uncle Zhong was not an ordinary person. How could a brilliant and wise man be confined to a tavern in peace?

"Daddy Zhuang is kind to me, and I am willing to guard the tavern for him." Old Uncle Zhong replied casually.

False, Uncle Zhong didn't think about it when he answered, and blurted out.

Zhou Zimu added tea to Uncle Zhong. "With your words, I am relieved. Jinse is just a little girl, you can help her a lot. ”

"Don't worry, Miss's business is my fault. I will stand by her side at all times. ”

To tell the truth, Old Uncle Zhong has a secret in a tavern, but he really wants to help Jinse.

As long as the other party has no bad intentions, Zhou Zimu doesn't want to delve into Uncle Zhong's past.

Old Uncle Zhong was originally suspicious of Zhou Zimu's identity, but now he is not sure.

He had contact with the regent. The regent is cold and unsmiling. It is completely different from the young man in front of him with a smile on his face.

Is it really just two people who happen to have the same name?

That night, a special carrier pigeon flew out of the city.

After another two days, Lan Yuyan, who had not been seen for a long time, came to a tavern.

"Yuyan, you're here!" I was very happy to see my friend Jinse. Finally an excuse to skip school.

Old Uncle Zhong recognized that this was the second lady of the Lan family's big house. He smiled helplessly: "Since Miss has friends here, I will rest for half a day today." "Get up and leave.

"I'm here to play with you, who was the one just now?" Yuyan was also surprised to see Jin Se sitting in front of a strange old man reading.

Jin Se took her hand: "That's the bookkeeper of our tavern, Uncle Zhong." He is an old servant in our shop, and he has been taking care of his sick old mother in the countryside some time ago. ”

"There's one more person in the store who can help you." Lan Yuyan was happy for Jin Se.

"Did your mother give you permission to go out? Don't sneak out again. Jin Se still has lingering feelings about what happened last time.

Although the wound on her back had healed, she was destined to have a scar at the level of ancient medicine.

"It's okay, you didn't see that I brought Fluttershy and Seventeen out. I have made a pact with my mother, and she has agreed to set me free. Yuyan was in a good mood, and her voice was laughing under the hat.

As for what the agreement was, Yuyan didn't tell Jinse. In her final days, she wants to be free and happy every day.

"If only I could let you go out, then I didn't get beaten in vain." Lan Mu can figure out how to set her daughter free, and Yuyan no longer has to endure the hard life of being locked up in the house all day.

Jin Se took out the bottle of fruit wine she had sealed from the kitchen: "Let's celebrate." This is the fruit wine I brewed a few days ago, and I just took it out to taste. ”

Fruits of various colors and slightly sweet rice wine are mixed to create a fruity aroma and a delicate aroma of rice wine.

Jin Se filled a bowl of jade smoke.

"It's too much, I can't finish it." Yuyan refused again and again. That's what he said, and he drank it one bite after another.

Jin Se also served himself a bowl: "Cheers to celebrate your freedom!" ”

"Cheers!"

The two held the bowl high and smiled at each other.

"By the way, how is the second room in your house now?" Jin Se asked for news.

Yuyan smiled bitterly: "The second brother was beaten on the board. I'm really sorry, he's been messing around since he was a child. ”

"Your brother has lost me a lot of money. I won't be relieved to go up, I'm friends with you. Jinse didn't care.

"That's good, but your bowl is too big. If there were outsiders, I wouldn't dare drink like that. Yuyan took a bite of the apple in the fruit wine.

Jin Se was also helpless: "If you use a bamboo cup, you won't be able to hold much, and you can't see the fruit in it clearly." If only there were transparent cups. ”

"You mean the glass cup? I have it at home, but I don't have much. It's rare that this thing is all home-owned. Yuyan's words made Jin Se's eyes light up.

She hurriedly stood up: "You mean there are transparent cups here?" I want to buy it! ”

Glass cup, glass is not glass! If you fill a glass cup with fruit wine, it must be a popular product in a tavern.

"It's not easy to make glass cups, I'm afraid it's only sold there!"

"Where? Take me there. "Jinse can't wait.

Qinglian Zhai is an inconspicuous shop on Yangcheng East Street, compared to the lively shop next door, there are almost no people here, and even the guys who watch the store are yawning.

Lan Yuyan came here with Jinse.

Look at the unremarkable appearance of the shop, there are no ornate decorations, and there are no valuable things on the shelves. Is there a glass cup here? Jinse was skeptical.
