Lotus and the others came back before dinner, and they were all worried when they saw that the sons were already in the room, but Chu Huaixian didn't say anything about them. After dinner, Chu Huaixian said to Lin Xiaochu, who came in to purify his face: "Let's all go out for a walk tomorrow." ”

Hearing this news, the happiest person is, of course, Lin Xiaoyi.

The next day, the master and servant went to the street together, as if they were just going out for shopping, and Chu Huaixian also watched the New Year's pictures and other things on the stall with relish. Xiao Chu bought Xiao Yi two red head ropes tied with her hair: "Your one is old, you can replace it." ”

A few people walked over in the crowd, the first two, one was a tall and boyish man, and the other was in his thirties, with dark skin and sharp eyes. Leaving more than a dozen steps, the tall prince saw Chu Huaixian who was talking to Lin Xiaochu first, his face changed, why is he here?

Chu Huaixian felt that someone looked at him, and his face changed when he raised his eyes. The person on the other side is Zhao Cunzong, the little prince of Zhongshan who was about to assassinate him. The two were still playmates in Beijing when they were young, and they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, so they looked at each other's eyes first.

"Little prince," Chu Huaixian arched his hand,

"Huaixian," in comparison, Zhao Cunzong is much more intimate. He looked behind Chu Huaixian, and suddenly smiled: "You will enjoy it, take the girl to the street to play." ”

Xiaochu is bright, the lotus is also born well, the aroma is thin and the fat powder is applied, the taste in the bones is still carried, although the small meaning is small, the facial features are correct, no wonder Zhao Cunzong wants to laugh.

As soon as Chu Huaixian saw Zhao Cunzong, he also wondered how he could be here? The vassal king can't walk around if he doesn't follow the order, and then he thinks about it for the New Year, he should have a decree to come to Beijing to worship, otherwise, how dare he walk on the street in a big way. Chu Huaixian introduced Liang Longzheng to Zhao Cunzong: "Liang Gongzi Longzheng, the nephew of Lord Shi. ”

Hearing that it was the little prince, Liang Long was showing a look of long-awaiting, and people were also saying: "Long-awaited, fortunately." Zhao Cunzong looked at Chu Huaixian out of the corner of his eye, he was contemplating; Chu Huaixian looked at Zhao Cunzong, and he also looked solemn.

Did these Assassins have anything to do with him? This is Chu Huaixian's thoughts at this time.

"Where does Huaixian live, pick you and Liang Gongzi to eat at night. Ah, I haven't introduced it yet, this is He Garrison, an old general under my father's account. I passed through here to enter Beijing and stop at his place. Zhao Cunzong was even more suspicious in his heart, he couldn't understand what Young Master Chu, who was also the identity of Ducha, what did his son-in-law mean here? He frowned slightly, and asked Chu Huaixian down first: "See you in the evening." ”

The little prince had an appointment, of course Chu Huaixian readily agreed, watching Zhao Cunzong walk away, Chu Huaixian smiled slightly, this is not a Hongmen banquet at night, right?

Zhao Cunzong left the crowd, turned around and instructed He Shoubei: "Go and find out where they came from, why they came here, it won't be our business is not confidential, he knows about it." ”

When the two of them met, they were full of suspicions. Over there, the fragrance and Xiao Chu are talking lively. Xiao Chu didn't love enough daffodils: "This flower is really good, the flower stem is short, there are many flower buds, and the roots of this daffodil are well cut." ”

"Twenty big sons in a pot of flowers, it's really cheap." This is fragrant, Xiao Chu looked at this flower, a small pot, is made of clay everywhere. There are only two or three daffodils in the flower pot, which are not expensive, and the poor have old clothes and old jackets, so they also buy a pot and take it home for the New Year. Xiao Chu Lala pulled the sleeves of the aromatic lion: "Do you think we can do this flower business?" How much is a pot of daffodils in Kyosato. ”

A word reminded Fang Xiang that she used to put narcissus in the house in winter, and Fang Xiang knew the price: "Replace it with a white jade pot, replace it with a purple sand pot, and put a few more flower stems in a flower pot, and the price will go up." ”

"Is that selling flowers or pots?" Xiao Chu said, Fang Xiang also smiled: "As long as you make money, it doesn't matter if the person who buys it is a flower or a flower pot." ”

This is very right, Xiao Chu smiled like a narcissus Tufang, pulled the fragrance and went to look at the others: "Look at the New Year's painting again, the mud man," Fang Xiang smiled: "Are we running a grocery store?" ”

"That's not rouge, let's look at the incense powder." The two of them walked in front, a few steps behind were Zhu Niang and the lotus, Xiaoyi sometimes followed her sister, sometimes followed the lotus, and from time to time went to see the childe, and showed the kettle in the bag in her hand to the child: "Sister let me take it out, and the son wants to drink it to you." ”

Chu Huaixian touched Xiaoyi's head, and took out one or two pieces of broken silver from his sleeve and gave it to Xiaoyi: "I'm thirsty and looking for you, don't want this time, you can play, buy whatever you like." Xiaoyi was very happy to give the silver to her sister, and ran back and forth to play. Jin Xi'er also took care of her from time to time, and reminded Xiao Chu: "There are many abductors in the New Year, look at your sister." ”

Xiao Chu walked out of the business scriptures, Xiao Chu took Xiao Yi's hand, and continued to look around with aroma.

met Chu Huaixian on the street, and the little prince Zhao Cunzong went back to He Shoubei's house. He Shoubei saw that the little prince's face was uncertain, and he retreated from the people who followed, and came up and said: "He may not know what he came here to, and the little prince is at ease." ”

"Young Master Chu is a person, he has been infiltrated by the officialdom for decades, although he is not evil, but he is an old treacherous and slippery, and he rarely disagrees with the emperor in the matter of admonishing and admonishing. Of course, it is also holy today. When Zhao Cunzong said this, he said it sincerely.

He Shoubei nodded yes, did he see the little prince so sullen. Zhao Cunzong continued: "It's just that in the past few years, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng seems to have an enmity with the vassal king, and he has asked for a reduction in military equipment for two consecutive years. It is rumored that the emperor is much colder to him, because he is virtuous in the middle palace and is from Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, so the emperor keeps him decent. But these are all rumors, and the reduction of military equipment is the reduction of the vassal king, and we have to do this because we have to prevent it. ”

Saying this, He Shoubei also became vigilant: "What the little prince means is that this ambush army that we transferred privately was noticed by Prince Chu. He has no official position and no position, and this matter has nothing to do with him? ”

"But his father is a perennial concurrently serving as a metropolitan inspector to patrol around," Zhao Cunzong said with a wry smile: "I'll wait for news here, and I'll have more interrogations at dinner." ”

Speaking of news, the news arrived, and two came at once. One is to talk back and forth with his entourage: "Prince Chu's boat is parked fifty miles outside the city, and it is a boat in the middle ......of the night."

Zhao Cunzong's eyes flashed, and he said to He Fu: "How?" Zhao Cunzong took the paper scroll presented and read it, slammed his palm on the carved table in front of him, and said angrily: "Who framed me like this!" ”

Zhao Cunzong, who stood up with his hands in his hands, paced a few steps with a grim face, and showed the scroll of paper in his hand to He Fu, which read: "In the suburbs of Beijing and in various places, there are a total of five assassinations, all of which are aimed at the following officials...... Chu Huaixian's name is also on it. He Fu was startled, and also glared angrily: "This is a clear planting," and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "No wonder Chu Gongzi is here!" ”

He was suspicious of us! When He Fu understood, of course Zhao Cunzong had already understood. However, between a few steps, Zhao Cunzong calmed down and said, "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." Huaixian is my friend since childhood, what is the dish at night, bring me the menu. ”

The little prince looked at the menu with a spring breeze on his face, and finalized a few dishes by himself: "This is the flavor of Kyoto, and I have always had the same affection for Huaixian; A few more special dishes," handed the menu to He Fu, Zhao Cunzong smiled a lot: "Show your mood." ”

Recently, it suddenly snowed heavily, and the wind and snow blew so that people's eyes could not open, as if there was only this vast wind and snow between heaven and earth. Chu Huaixian went out when the wind and snow were smaller, sitting in the hired carriage, Liang Long was not familiar with the little prince, although he wanted to make friends, he felt that today's old man had something to say, Liang Long was pushing to get drunk at noon. There was also a person sitting in the car, it was Lin Xiaochu in an apricot yellow brocade jacket.

The car was picked up by He Fulai, and when he saw that Chu Gongzi came to the banquet with a girl, the people who drove the car just smiled in the wind and snow, these rich people, all of them are gentlemen.

When he came to He Fu's door, He Fu, who was guarded, picked up the car at the head of the door, and was stunned when he saw a brocade girl coming down from the car first, and then he snickered. Xiao Chu is also funny, Childe was not such a person before, and today before going out, he explained that he dressed up and came back, as if this banquet was not delicious. Who is he confusing? This official voice takes good people as thieves, how can he be guarded, or is it the little prince he saw on the street during the day?

Removing the small bench from the car and putting it in the snow, Chu Huaixian got out of the car and went in with He Shoubei. Xiao Chu put the bench back into the car, and the person who drove the car kindly reminded him: "Hurry up and follow." Lin Xiaochu smiled back and took a few steps to keep up with Chu Huaixian's footsteps.

The little prince Zhao Cunzong was waiting at the entrance of the hall, and Lin Xiaochu did not look carefully in the market. At this moment, I took a look at it without being noticed, the son was handsome and well-born, but this little prince was majestic and heroic, even when he walked, he also had the feeling of walking like a dragon. Chu Huaixian stood with him, as if he had become a weak person. Compared with this Lin Xiaochu, he felt that Chu Huaixian's sven style was no less than the momentum of the little prince; And He Fu has seen it, and he does not take Chu Huaixian lightly. Young Master Chu's only son can be civil and martial, and he has fought several famous fights in Beijing.

The door of the hall is wide open and four doors are connected to the prince of Chu, and several places in the hall are high, and there are flowers such as narcissus and orchid, which are smoked in a room. On the round table surrounded by the carved table, there is a steaming hot pot of fish head tofu and tender pheasant, which is boiling and steaming. There are no less than a dozen plates of various platters next to it.

Everyone sat down, Xiao Chu stood behind, and came up silently to tuck a small handkerchief on Chu Huaixian's clothes. Zhao Cunzong was also a beautiful girl behind him, and she put a small handkerchief on Zhao Cunzong's clothes. The two noble sons in the capital are relatively happy, He Fugui is the guard, seeing this scene, he also plans to figure it out, the style of the noble son is natural, but they are born to be served, in fact, they are also acquired.

This situation made He Fu a little envious. And Lin Xiaochu is not only serving, but also looking at the character decorations in this hall. The conversation with Fang Xiang made Xiao Chu feel that the way to make money was right, and it shouldn't be difficult. She lowered her head and noticed the color on the placket of the little prince's clothes, which was a treasure pattern, which was different from the treasure pattern that Xiao Chu usually saw. Lin Xiaochu looked elsewhere from the treasure pattern, and saw a pair of old cloth shoes at Zhao Cunzong's feet, and a pair of winged goshawks embroidered on the socks, who else used this to make patterns?
