Chapter 2 Rescue

Warm days when noisy. The sun is shining.

Afternoon in summer. There are always few pedestrians on the streets. Most of them avoid the scorching sun and don't want to go out. Some of the wine shops and teahouses are also very popular. There is only one restaurant called "Drunken Wind Building" at this time.

The lobby on the first floor is crowded with people. The private rooms on the second floor and the elegant residence on the third floor are also full of friends.

Relative to the hustle and bustle of the first floor. The mosquitoes on the second floor are thundering. The third floor is much quieter.

At this time, Hongtian was sitting lazily in his chair and looking out boredly. They were sitting by the window at this time. The rooms of the Elegant Residence are all in one. Although it is a restaurant, it is much more comfortable than an inn. The bed and couch are all available.

There was a slight knock on the door. Xiao Ningzi said, "Enter."

Xiao Er serves a few plates of dishes. smiled and introduced them one by one: "Master. These are all the signature dishes of our drunken wind building. This dish is fried hoof tendons in sauce. This is a crystal elbow. This dish is boiled crab meat. This dish is eight treasures of honey stew. This dish is roast mutton. This dish is assorted mandarin duck soup. Please taste it."

Hongtian only raised his eyebrows and looked at it. The look is still lazy. Xiao Ningzi waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Er to go down.

"Fifth master. These dishes look pretty good. You still don't have an appetite." Xiao Ningzi's saliva is about to come down. But Hongtian didn't pick the corner of his eye.

"Eat as much as you want." Hongday said.

Xiao Ningzi picked up the chopsticks, just wanted to pick up the vegetables, and put down the chopsticks. Dryly laughed and said, "Master doesn't even use chopsticks. How dare a minion eat it?"

Hongtian picked up the chopsticks and knocked Xiao Ningzi's forehead: "Saliva is going to flow......"

Xiao Ningzi smiled embarrassedly. Hongyang picked up the chopsticks and tasted the roast mutton. Raised eyebrows and nodded: "Fresh but not fat. It tastes good."

Xiao Ningzi nodded vaguely with a crystal elbow in his mouth: "I heard that Master Jiang of this Drunken Wind Building has excellent craftsmanship. Today's taste really lives up to its reputation."

Hongtian scooped a mouthful of eight-treasure honey stew with a spoon: "Sweet but not greasy. This Master Jiang's craftsmanship is comparable to that of the people in the palace's imperial dining room."

As he was talking, there was a cacophony of voices downstairs. Hongtian leaned out of the window and saw two men pulling a girl and walking out. There was a circle of people around, but no one stepped forward to help. As he was looking, he saw an old man hurriedly running to those people to speak for the girl: "The old man begs you. Apricot she's still young. Please spare her......"

But the little girl raised her face high. The voice was also quite high: "Master. Don't ask them. I also want to go to the official to see if there are bugs in our food or if some villain wants to eat white food."

"Hmph. What a sharp-toothed little girl. You have bugs in your cooking and you have wronged us. I don't think you can open this drunken wind building anymore." A man in blue said.

Another man described it as lewd. It doesn't matter if your teeth are sharp and your mouth is sharp. A good face will make it." As he spoke, he poked his dirty hand into Apricot's face. Apricot took a bite out of him." Shameless."

The man snorted coldly. His eyes lit up and he glanced at the other man, "I'd like to see if you have any bugs on you."

As he spoke, he touched the apricot. Apricot shouted. The old man tried to stop him, but he was pulled away. Hongsun frowned, jumped from the window, and jumped out of the window. Xiao Ningzi took a bite of mutton in his mouth and immediately squirted out in fright: "Fifth master."

Hongtian jumped to Xing'er's side with a quick step, grabbed the man's hand and twisted it around. The lewd man immediately groaned in pain. Seeing this, another man in blue hurriedly stepped forward and swung his fist at Hongyang. Hongyang sideways dodged and kicked him in the stomach, kicking him far away. As soon as I straightened my sleeves, four more people came up. Hongtian smiled lightly. Looks like it was premeditated. Apricot was already at a loss for surprise. stared blankly at the handsome man who fell from the sky in front of him, silently distracted. Until the man looked at her. Calling her over and over again: "Girl. Girl......"

Apricot suddenly came back to her senses: "Ah."

"You're all right." Hongtian asked with a smile.

Apricot smiled slightly. but his cheeks were stained with smoke. The voice also softened: "Thank you Gongzi for saving me."

When I looked up, I was stunned: "It's you."

Hongyang waved his folding fan: "It's me."

Apricot still can't come back to her senses. The owner of the Drunken Wind Building walked out of the shop. Seeing this, he sighed: "Apricot. This is the first time."

Apricot immediately drooped her head. Hongtian couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Ningzi also ran out of the store and ran to Hongtian and looked him up and down: "Fifth master. You're not hurt, are you?"

Hongyang smiled: "Do you think you will be afraid of a few little thieves?"

"Scared the hell out of me. Jumping down from such a height......" Xiao Ningzi gestured with palpitations.

"It's fine." Hongdaydao.

"You......" the boss chattered about Apricot. When will you learn to flatter your guests? Offending people like you. I'm going to have to close sooner or later."

"How could it be. Boss. My master's craftsmanship is so good. Besides, I'm doing a good job right now. Isn't it. Our business is so thriving. I don't think I'll take some credit for it." Apricot said flatteringly.

"Boss. Apricot this girl is acting a little rougher. But she's smart and quick to learn. Don't blame her. Those people clearly just want to eat white food. Let's put up with it for a long time, I'm afraid they'll get worse." The old man persuaded.

"Why do those people come so often?" Hongday said.

"It's not just them. And ......" paused and said. I'm glad I met you this time. But...... You've brought some money with you this time."

Hongyang smiled: "Xiao Ningzi ......"

"Fifth Master." Xiao Ningzi greeted him.

"Leave the bag of silver to the girl." Hongday said.

"Yes." Xiao Ningzi handed the purse to Xing'er.

"You don't need so many ......," Xing'er held the purse in her hand but didn't dare to bear it. Push the purse in front of Hongyang. Hongyang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Where is the domineering spirit when I was arguing with those scoundrels. You're welcome. I'm also bothered to invite the girl for this meal." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Apricot looked at his tall figure in amazement.

The weather in the summer is as unpredictable as a woman's mind. It's still a big sun, but it's a downpour in a moment's time.

Su Yi is sitting in front of the window and playing the piano. Suddenly a head poked out of the window. A playful voice rang out: "Suyi."

Su Yi was taken aback. There was a mess of piano music in his hand, and he looked up and couldn't help but smile: "Xing'er...... You're naughty again......"

Xing'er smiled and walked in from the main entrance, shaking the rain beads on her clothes and said, "I really didn't expect it to rain so much. My clothes are wet."

"Miaoyu......" Su Yi called out the door. Immediately a little girl walked in. The girl said slightly." Miss."

"Go get my clothes and put them on for Apricot."

"Yes."

Xing'er wiped the water droplets on her hair with a handkerchief and said, "Your body is fine. For a few days, Master Drunken Wind Lou has been worried about you."

"These two days have been much better. It's just that it's still easy to get tired. The doctor said that he wanted me to recuperate for a while, so I didn't go to the Drunken Wind Building. You go back and tell the master not to worry." Su Yi stood up, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to her.

Xing'er took it, just took a sip, and handed over the clothes. Apricot walked to the screen, changed her clothes, and put her wet clothes on the hanger. Su Yi looked her up and down and said with a light smile: "Miaoyu can pick clothes. My clothes are plain. You look better in this aqua red shirt than I do."

"Really." Apricot touched the pattern on her clothes with a happy face. This is the material of Yunjin. It must be expensive."

Su Yi smiled lightly: "This is what my father prepared for my entrance to the palace draft last year. It's just that I'm not in good health, and the Internal Affairs Office removed my roster. and the garment was never worn again. You look good in this way. I'll give it to you."

"Every time I come back to your house, you have to give me something. I'm really sorry." Apricot said with embarrassment.

Su Yi held her hand and said softly, "We all follow Master Jiang to learn art, and we can be regarded as sisters. Besides, I have no brothers or sisters at home, and you are like my own sister, so why should you care about this."

Xing'er also held her hand and said gratefully, "Suyi. Thank you."

Su Yi shook her head. He said, "Tell Miaoyu to take your wet clothes and dry them."

Xing'er nodded, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly walked to the hanger and untied the purse tied to the dress. Su Yi noticed the pattern of the purse and couldn't help but be stunned. Said: "Apricot. How can you have a purse in the palace?"

Xing'er was also surprised: "You said this is from the palace."

"The pattern on this is probably only qualified to be embroidered by the prince's elder brother. What's more, this fabric is the elegant satin of Jiangning Weaving House. When did you know the people in the palace?" Su Yidao.

Apricot's fingers slowly stroked the raised lines. A handsome face appeared in his mind, but he slowly had a plan in his heart. He poured some silver into his palm, put his purse into his sleeve, and said, "I got it by chance. Su Yi. This is your sunrise silver, and the guest has come to pay it back."

Su Yi nodded: "I'll just say it, that person has something unspeakable."

Apricot smiled. I still remember the situation that day, and I actually picked up a kitchen knife at that son, and now I think about it, I am really embarrassed. It could have left a good impression, and maybe there would have been some chance, but now it has backfired.

"Apricot...... Xing'er ......" Su Yi called her a few times.

"Ahh Apricot came back to her senses.

"What are you thinking?"

"Nothing. What do you want to eat? I'll send it to you tomorrow." Apricot asked.

"There's everything in the house." Su Yi pursed her lips and smiled. Miaoyu beside her interjected. There is no green-eared bamboo silk chicken."

"Miaoyu......" Su Yi called out helplessly.

Miaoyu muttered: "Maybe there will be one in the Drunken Wind Building......"

Xing'er was full of doubts: "What green-eared bamboo chicken."

"The doctor said that the young lady was not in good health. Medication is also detrimental to the body, not as good as dietary therapy. This green-eared bamboo silk chicken can make up for weakness and weakness, and it is very good for the young lady's body." Miaoyu said word by word.

"Green-eared bamboo silk chicken. Is it a black chicken?" Apricot said." Isn't the black chicken a tribute?"

"It's going to be a black chicken. Dr. Lin said that there are mountain springs in the northern suburbs. Because it's wild, it's hard to find, but it's also more effective than ordinary black chickens."

Su Yi smiled lightly. Don't listen to Miaoyu's nonsense. Although it is good for the body, it is not necessary to eat. This green-eared bamboo silk chicken only operates in the northern suburbs of the mountains and springs. It's a rarity on weekdays."

"Although it is rare, Gu Gongzi also sent a few last time. It can be seen that Gu Gongzi's sincerity." Miaoyu smiled quietly.

Su Yi's cheeks were slightly red. Xing'er saw it in her eyes and quipped, "I don't know when our Miss Shen can become Mrs. Gu."

"Apricot ......," Su Yi said angrily.

"If it's really good for you, you should eat more. I'll see if I can find it for you." Apricot Road.

"Apricot. You don't have to look for it. You know my body. It has always been that way. I have to get sick a few times a year, and it's not a big deal."

Xing'er smiled: "I know. If you can find it, you will find it, but if you can't find it, you can only do it."

"Hmm." Su Yi bowed slightly.
