His Royal Highness King Zhou, who had made up his mind to rein in the precipice and turned back, fell into a dark sleep.

When he woke up, there was already a bright red glow outside the west window, faintly there seemed to be a night drum sound, King Zhou put his elbow on the table and supported his forehead with his palm, and the corner of his eyes was staring at the servant girl Adan who had brought out a basin of warm water with mint leaves and turned back, his brain seemed to be not fully awake, and his voice was a little hoarse when he first woke up from a big dream: "What about you?" He's cooking tonight? ”

As the leading boss of the inn industry in the four provinces south of the Yangtze River, Kyushu Keyi is naturally equipped with restaurants in addition to providing accommodation, but the store is also well aware of the habits of the aristocratic and wealthy, even if they go out, they also have a lot of private kitchens, so the small courtyards rented out separately are equipped with kitchen cooking utensils, which is convenient for those guests with picky tastes to open their own groups, King Zhou is seeing that Adan is not covered with any oily smoke, so he guesses that tonight's dinner is arranged by the two of them - Zhao Zhibei that guy, Along the way, if he wasn't dragged by him to discuss official business, he would never allow his little wife to go to the kitchen alone.

The husband's weakness is so indignant that people are filled with righteous indignation.

Adan was not in a hurry to sort out the futon that was messed up by King Zhou, and Zhengse responded: "Deputy Envoy Zhao is an official of the imperial court and a minister of His Royal Highness, not a cook. ”

This means that people are not responsible for taking care of your three meals a day, Your Highness.

King Zhou was choked up and completely sobered up at this time: "So what? You are a personal servant and not a blister, so do you want this king to go out to forage for food tonight? ”

"Deputy Envoy Zhao and Gu Yiren have gone to the Qinhuai River to play, and the maid thinks that His Royal Highness will also rush there." Adan is still upright.

There is no reason that the deputy envoy Zhao who is clean and self-righteous has Yaxing and his wife to visit the scenery of Qinhuai, and when he was in the capital, he loved to stay in the brothel of the Qinglou and His Royal Highness King Zhou, and now he is free from control, and he will obediently stay in the Kyushu guest house? Adan glanced at the west window...... The sun also sets in Nanjing, too.

King Zhou wanted to affirm with a righteous face, "Why did this king go to disturb their husband and wife to eat, drink and have fun", but the words turned into a sentence: "Then why didn't you wake up this king earlier?!" ”

At this time, it seems that there is a closed curfew!!

"The servant is really incapable of waking His Highness from a deep dream." Adan justifiably argued.

King Zhou: ......

This maid is really used to being used to by the imperial grandmother!!

"The night drum only sounded at this time, and the door of the workshop was not closed, and His Highness still had time to leave the workshop at this time." Adan kindly reminded.

King Zhou stared at his maidservant stupidly, but his footsteps hurriedly stepped forward, and as soon as he arrived at the escalator, he saw that the guards who had been ordered to track down Confucian Sheng today were just rushing back, and he did not stop moving forward because of this, but only waved his arm: "Say while walking." On the one hand, he also made excuses for his anxious rush to act as a "candle lamp": it was not that I was ignorant, but that Adan was derelict in his duty and did not prepare dinner for the king, so the king had to go to the Qinhuai River to forage for food.

As for foraging, why do you have to go far and far...... King Zhou said that this detail could be completely ignored.

Of course, after hearing the news reported back by the guards, he felt more and more that his behavior of rushing to the Qinhuai River was natural and natural.

However, it is said that the Qinhuai River in the city of Nanjing has been rich in the reputation of "the area of smoke and moon of the six dynasties and the place where gold powder gathers" since a thousand years ago. On the bank of Huaishui, the silk curtain of ten miles of beads,

Painting boats and drums day and night, it is really a prosperous and glamorous scene of "the sound of pulp and lights and shadows for ten miles, and the singing girl and the boat play turbidity", and now although there is no Wang Xie in Wuyi Lane, the romance of the Six Dynasties has been obliterated for a long time, but with the current dynasty will set the Confucius Temple as the imperial examination room of Nanjing Guozijian, because of the gathering of candidates, this ten miles of Qinhuai has prospered again, the old gold powder buildings are still lined up one after another, and the tavern Qinglou of the present dynasty has come into being.

When the Taizu of this dynasty was founded, it was still frugal and forbidden to be extravagant, and the curfew was implemented, at that time ten miles of Qinhuai was also within the ban, but later Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, and with the successive successive monarchs gradually indulged in pleasure, even many of the capital's markets were not lacking in singing all night, the curfew order was gradually relaxed, and the Jinling City in the south of the Yangtze River was even more relaxed the military vigilance, and now although the night drum sounded, each square will lock the barrier door, but the area of the ten miles of Qinhuai Confucius Temple is no longer forbidden to visit and play, every night and twilight, not only the waterside river house is brilliantly lit, There is no shortage of lightboats and boats shuttling on the clear waves, and the traffic is a little more noisy than during the day.

When Lanting and Chungui arrived, it was not the most lively time for Qinhuai in Shili.

The two of them are like a leisurely stroll, specially selected those winding alleys to wander, along the towering white walls of the old bluestone road around the circle, sometimes stop in front of the door of a house, but also must be attracted by the hanging couplets, and like them do not visit the scenic spots to see the city of tourists is also a lot, sometimes meet in the lanes, stop in front of a family, although strangers may as well talk and communicate, and the people in the alley for the tourists in front of the door also seem to be commonplace, not only do they not feel surprised and vigilant, there are many hospitable people will be invited to the courtyard to taste tea, Generally, no one asks where the name and surname come from, and they chatte very casually.

So even for dinner, Lanting and Chungui turned out to be a home-cooked meal, and when the sunset did not completely fade, they admired the "wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, and the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Lane".

Although the two of them were unintentional, they inadvertently passed by the Dongfeng Pavilion that had just opened on the bank of the Qinhuai River.

A row of thin bamboos was planted outside the white wall, and the Zhumen was crowded with gorgeous brocade clothes in front of it.

They all handed over posts to invite the girl to see Mumo, but there were obviously not many lucky ones, and the guests who were turned away had lamented and sighed, but there were also some who complained and slandered.

When he returned to the spring, he heard a tall and thin man shouting: "The girl from Mumo refuses to see us and wait, there must be an explanation, just like the drunken life hall, the girl Chu Chu will also go out of the examination first, so that we will not be dismissed in the clouds." ”

This remark also aroused the echo of many people.

But the maid who "guarded the door" was very arrogant, her eyes rolled up and she looked at people with her nostrils: "I don't ask who is standing behind my girl, can she be the same as those vulgar fans?" ”

The thin and tall man became more and more dissatisfied: "The girl of Qinhuai in Shili is evaluated for her talent, I haven't heard that she can become famous with the support of anyone, I think your girl is not worthy of her name." ”

There was another Zhu Yilangjun in the crowd with a wave of his hand: "The maids of the Dongfeng Pavilion are so vulgar, and Mu Mo does not seem to be a good master, let's go to the Drunken Life Pavilion, today's Chu Chu girl's examination is a riddle, maybe we still have to take it, that is, it is difficult to get the Chu Chu girl's painting boat, as long as you are selected into the top ten, you can also win the peach blossom wine brewed by the Chu Chu girl, how can it be better than being so idle outside the Dongfeng Pavilion." ”

With a wave of Zhu Yilangjun's hand, sure enough, many guests followed him to the Zuisheng Pavilion.

Spring return is in people

Outside the group, he glanced at the excitement, and naturally there was no interest in holding the wood powder, so he only pulled Lan Ting's sleeve and asked him to pay attention to the person not far away-it was the "Hou Bai Mian" of Jiuhui Xiang during the day, and this person actually appeared in front of the door of the Dongfeng Pavilion again.

Lan Ting's cheeks were slightly lowered, and he was whispering: "When we came out of the Kyushu Guest Station, there were ears and eyes behind us, even after wandering in the alley for a long time, we couldn't get rid of these tails, and as soon as we stopped in front of the Dongfeng Pavilion at this time, this person immediately followed." ”

Chun Gui was about to leave, and deliberately reached out and pointed to the end of the Zuisheng Pavilion, only to see Lan Tinggang bow, and then saw that the "back white face" immediately moved.

He laughed twice and squeezed forward, as if stepping on the heel of a man in front of him, and ushered in a pair of angry eyes.

"There are many vassal and elegant people in this world, just like many women in Qin Huai who are self-assured of their talents, and they are all conceited as women prime ministers, isn't it ridiculous to follow that Shangguan Zhaorong to weigh the corporal of the world, and all of them are conceited as women prime ministers? In a certain opinion, it is frank that the Mumo girl only chooses guests according to the word 'eye edge', as for the statement that the Mumo girl is bullying others, it is even more ridiculous, to know the power of His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, but it is not who wants to rely on it, if it is not for the Mumo girl to be amazing, how can His Royal Highness look at it with blue eyes? ”

"Hou Baimian" didn't care about the angry eyes of the spectators, and said these remarks after laughing.

Someone coaxed: "In this way, Zunjia is full of confidence and will cast the eyes of the Mumo girl?" Why don't you hand over your name card and see if you have the honor of being welcomed into the door of the Dongfeng Pavilion. ”

"Hou Bai Mian" saw out of the corner of his eyes that Lan Ting really pulled the spring return, and seemed to be unwilling to go to the appearance of the drunken life hall anymore, and became more and more high-spirited, holding his head open and moving forward, handing the name card to the maid at the same time, there was still something to say: "There is a labor envoy to inform the girl of Mumo in your pavilion, a certain is Ye Wanqing, it is difficult to make a good friend, and she has admired the girl's name for a long time, and I hope that the girl can give the tea Yale as a reward." ”

The maid statue had also heard of Ye Wanqing's name and surname, and finally didn't use her nostrils to look at people, so she took the post and passed it back and forth.

Chungui whispered: "Brother Wanqing's name has been used by this person a lot. ”

"This is also the disadvantage that he is too easy to travel, like a group of brothers, even Zhuxi, many people in Beijing also know that they are friends with His Royal Highness, but who dares to use their names to do such nonsense? Even if they were lies, others would not believe that they would make such superficial friends. Of course, Lan Ting didn't have a good impression of "Hou Bai Mian", so he directly generalized it with the word superficial.

The husband and wife still stood outside the crowd and did not move.

Of course, Lan Ting saw that Chun Hui was still interested in continuing to watch.

Not long after, the maid returned, her attitude changed greatly, and she finally looked at a pair of "blue eyes" with a smile on the "back white face": "My girl invited Xie Langjun into the inner hall to sit and talk." ”

"Hou Bai Mian" suddenly danced with his eyebrows, which naturally aroused the envy of many people, but he was not in a hurry to enter, and suddenly touched his waist, his expression showed a little embarrassment, and he bowed to the maid extremely helplessly: "It's really embarrassing, I don't know if I was in too much of a hurry to go out and forgot to carry my money bag, or because the bank of the Qinhuai River was too crowded and accidentally lost...... The envoy waited for a moment. ”

Before the crowd of onlookers could laugh, the man surnamed Xie squeezed out, and Shi Shiran saluted Lan Ting again.

Spring Return: ......

It's so deliberate that I don't know what to say.
