Chapter 85: Li Chi
Qingluan nodded, raised his eyes and glanced at Yue Wuxian, only to see his eyes shining, like stars passing by.
Yue Wuzhen rubbed his fingers on Luanniao's head, and said with a smile: "This jade is rare, and the carving is so ingenious, it's a pity that Ah Man didn't buy it back." ”
Qingluan snorted, shook the folding fan and said, "Brother Wuwu thinks it's rare, I can buy it back and watch it day and night." ”
Yue Wuxian sighed: "This jade is expensive, and it is limited in Xiayulu, so I really can't afford to buy it." ”
"Although this jade carving is good, I don't like it."
Qingluan pointed to a jade Buddha statue next to him and said: "This Miluo Buddha is the most festive, jade beads, you go and ask how much silver you want, you can buy it back for your mother to enjoy." ”
Yuzhu went to ask the guy in the jade shop, and Qingluan shook the folding fan and walked around slowly.
Helian Mingyu hurriedly walked beside her, intentionally or unintentionally blocking Yue Wuxian to the side.
Yue Wuxian saw Helian Mingyu looking at Jianing with affection on his face, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
He touched his chin and thought about it, then turned around and walked out of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.
Just when everyone thought he had said goodbye, he returned.
"Aman, there are treasures on the second floor here, why don't I take you to take a look?" Yue Wuxian smiled and glanced at Helian Mingyu.
Qingluan wasn't very interested in these things, but he just came in to see something strange, so he didn't want to go to the second floor, "No need, we have to go elsewhere." ”
Helian Mingyu also said: "There is a new teahouse opened in front, and there is an opera troupe performing and singing in it, so we might as well go there to rest." ”
"Well, let's go there." Qingluan nodded.
Just as Helian Mingyu led Qingluan out of the threshold, a man suddenly ran over.
"Lord Helian! It's easy to find, and Lord Shangshu is sending people around looking for you. ”
Helian Mingyu was stunned, "What are you looking for me?" ”
He hugged his fists and said, "There is urgent business for you to go back to the yamen to deal with." ”
"What urgent business?"
"You'll know when you go, people just come to pass the word, and it's really not clear......"
Helian Mingyu frowned.
He really couldn't think of any urgent matter that would let him a six-rank member Wailang deal with it on his day off.
Could it be that something is wrong with the beacon?
Since there is a tolerance to find, I can't help but go," Jianing ...... I ......"
"Brother Mingyu, you have something to do, I'll just go shopping with Li Lan."
Yue Wuxian smiled beside him and said, "Lord Helian is still on official business, and the county lord of Jianing is here to take care of it." ”
Helian Mingyu got off the horse and left depressedly.
Yue Wuxian watched Helian Mingyu, an eyesore, finally leave, and couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Aman, I still owe you a pot of tea, why don't I do it today, and invite you to the teahouse to drink tea?"
Qingluan glared at him angrily. She didn't believe that Helian Mingyu had any urgent business to deal with.
The Fulin Tea House has a three-storey building, with blue tiles and blue walls, cornices and corners, and several red lanterns hanging under the vermilion lacquer carved porch.
As soon as the county lord of Jianing and his entourage walked up to the third floor, they saw Xiao Luo, who was dressed in a green robe and brocade robe, about to go downstairs.
"Jianing?" Xiao Luo smiled in surprise when he saw Qingluan, and his face sank when he saw Yue Wuxian next to him.
Yue Wuxian was also very depressed. He just wanted to invite the county lord of Jianing to drink tea, but he met people he didn't want to see one after another.
"Xiao Luo, what a coincidence." Qingluan spoke, and his eyes fell on the man beside Xiao Luo.
This person is in his twenties, with a long face, and a red mole the size of a mung bean between the tips of his eyebrows, but he is the person she knew when she was - Li Chi, the son of King Shou.
The reason why she can recognize him is Li Chi is that when she was six or seven years old, the emperor died, and the kings brought their sons to Beijing to mourn, and the red mole on the eyebrows of a young man beside King Shou made her remember it deeply.
How did he come to Luojing? Could it be that the emperor's uncle summoned him to Beijing?
Li Chi looked at Shang Qingluan, obviously not recognizing who she was. It wasn't until Xiao Luo called her Jianing that she reacted.
"It turned out to be my cousin's Jianing." Li Chi smiled.
Qingluan pretended to be surprised and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Xiao Luo hurriedly introduced: "Jianing, this is the son of Li Chi. ”
Qingluan blinked, "It turned out to be Uncle Li Chitang, I haven't seen it yet." ”
Li Chi said with a smile: "I haven't been to Luojing for nearly ten years, and I haven't had time to visit my cousin for two days this time, but I saw Jianing first." ”
Qingluan blessed him, "Uncle Tang is busy, and it is understandable." ”
"Jianing, I just arrived in Luojing, and I still have some things to take care of, and I will go to the princess's mansion to meet my cousin another day, and I hope to say hello to your mother for me first."
Qingluan hurriedly said: "Definitely, cousin, you can take care of something yourself." ”
Xiao Luo's gaze swept over Yue Wuxian, and then took a deep look at Jianing, and then went downstairs with Li Chi.
Qingluan watched them leave thoughtfully.
On the stage of the Fulin Teahouse, there is a group of orchids dancing Hu Xuan Dance, flying posture, accompanied by the sound of drums, colorful skirts flying, and silver bells on the ankles of bare feet rattling.
The dancers spun in circles, dozens of braids swirling with their bodies, and their beautiful faces were full of smiles.
Qingluan drank slowly with the teacup, but in his heart he was thinking about Li Chi he had just met.
Xiao Luo is actually familiar with the prince of Shouwang? This realization made her fall into the confusion of Zheng in her previous life
Could it be that in fact, in the previous life, King Shou rebelled, and Xiao Boyan also had the help of Xiao Boyan? If this is the case, the death of those vassal kings is not the only trigger for the rebellion.
Thinking about it like this, Qingluan only felt cold all over her body, and she suddenly felt that things seemed to be back to square one, and her previous efforts had become useless.
"Jianing, the pastries in this teahouse are a must, I'll let them make some fresh, and leave you to take them back to Fuzheng."
Yue Wuxian sat beside Qingluan, his gaze scanning her face.
The girl's sudden silence made his heart suddenly uneasy, and he tried to draw her attention to himself.
"It doesn't hurt my brother, but I think of one thing." Qingluan put down the teacup, twisted another piece of bean paste cake with his fingers and ate it.
"What?"
"Now that it's almost summer, our house has a separate courtyard in Qingliang Mountain, I want to hold a summer banquet there, do you have time to go then?" Qingluan blinked and looked at Yue Wuxian with wide eyes.
The girl's look of anticipation made Yue Wu's heart soften, and then he agreed: "Since Ah Man is invited, I will definitely go." ”
Qingluan smiled with crooked eyebrows, pinched a piece of hibiscus cake with his hand and handed it to Yue Wuxian, "Brother Wuxian, this is delicious, you can taste it." ”
The corners of Yue Wuxian's eyes twitched, and he took it with his fingers.
The finger touched the pink fingertips, making his heart tremble, and he opened his mouth to eat the blood-red pastry.
Although the taste of hibiscus cake was not satisfactory, it was suddenly sweet to his heart, which reminded him of the taste of the persimmon when he was in Qidi Persimmon Forest last year.
"Ahem!" Yue Wuxian coughed slightly, swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and took a few sips of tea and smoothed it out.
"It doesn't hurt my brother, you eat slowly." The girl smiled and picked up the teapot to refill his porcelain cup.
Yue Wuxian stared at Jianing's fingers, only to see that her five fingers were slender and fair, and she didn't wear any strange ornaments on them.
I breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and suddenly a thought appeared in my heart, and I wanted to hold that hand and squeeze it.
As soon as this thought came out, he was taken aback, and he quickly put his palms under the table and tightened them.
