Chapter 51: Yuan Mo is Coming (Fourth Watch)
Entering the study, Zhang Yue immediately found a familiar figure sitting in the room, not inferior to the handsome appearance of a woman, with a pair of beautiful glass-like eyes looking at her with the usual cynical smile.
Zhang Yue pointed at the man and shouted in surprise,
"Yuan Mo! What are you doing here? ”
The person who came was Yuan Mo, he looked Zhang Yue up and down, and said sarcastically,
"Yo! It's only been a few months, and I've lost a lot of weight! He turned his head and said to Li Dongyang, "Third Senior Brother, you are not good at the cook of the Li Mansion!" ”
Li Dongyang smiled and shook his head gently, Zhang Yue was unhappy when he heard it, "It's nonsense, the chef in the senior brother's mansion is the best." ”
Yuan Mo said disdainfully, "That's so thin, and the clothes are so shabby." It's ......"
Zhang Yue glanced at him, "Yuan Mo, did you come to Beijing specifically to find fault with me?" ”
Yuan Mo looked suddenly enlightened, "Oh...... Seems to be the case! ”
"You-"
Li Dongyang hurriedly persuaded on the side and said, "You two, from small fights to big ones, you still don't stop." Yuan Mo, don't you tease Xiao Wu? Xiao Wu suffered internal injuries before, didn't you come to see her specifically? I was so worried just now, why did I still put up a shelf after this meeting?"
Yuan Mo coughed beside him, "Okay, senior brother, I just don't make trouble." ”
He glanced at Zhang Yue unnaturally, "That, how are you hurting?" ”
Zhang Yue said angrily, "It's okay, you can't die, some people just care about others." ”
Yuan Mo glanced at her, stood up, and threw a sentence at her, "Let's go." ”
Zhang Yue was stunned, "Where are you going?" ”
"Please eat! You always say that I pay lip service. Senior brother, you can join along. ”
Li Dongyang looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Xiao Wu has been bored at home for several days, so he should go out for a walk." I'm going to go to Hanlin Temple in a while, so I won't go with you. ”
Yuan Mo didn't force it anymore, pulled Zhang Yue, who was still cute, and walked out of the Li Mansion.
The two walked to the street, Zhang Yue glanced at Yuan Mo a few times, and asked, "Where are you taking me to eat?" Do you need me to tell you which restaurants are cheaper? ”
Yuan Mo clenched a playful smile on his lips, "Do you think I'm poor?" ”
Zhang Yue shook his head very sincerely, "No, we have known each other for so many years, I dare to pack tickets, you are by no means poor, you are just stingy!" ”
Yuan Mo gave her a blank look and continued to lead the way in front.
Yuan Mo stopped in front of a big restaurant and said casually, "That's it!" ”
Zhang Yue looked up, isn't this Yun Dingtian! She looked at Yuan Mo hesitantly, "Are you really going to eat here?" ”
Yuan Mo asked, "Isn't this delicious?" ”
"No, no, it's delicious."
"Oh, let's go in!"
Zhang Yue thought to himself, Yuan Mo, a fool, came to the capital for the first time, he definitely didn't know how expensive Yun Dingtian was, he must be made to bleed a lot today, who told him to be so stingy usually.
Yun Dingtian's shopkeeper saw the two, stunned for a moment, his eyes lingered on Yuan Mo, and then respectfully led the two into a private room on the second floor.
As soon as they were seated, two more men came in from outside, the first of whom was about forty years old, a little fat, with a goatee, and dressed in navy blue silk clothes, and seemed shrewd and capable. He was followed by a small servant, and the man at the head nodded to Yuan Mo and said,
"Master, you're here!"
Yuan Mo glanced at him, "It's nothing to do with you, just leave Xiao Er to serve, go out." ”
The man replied respectfully, "Yes!" With that, he withdrew.
Only Xiao Er was left standing respectfully in the room.
Zhang Yue took the recipe and said, "Yuan Mo, you know quite a few people?" ”
Yuan Mo's nose snorted lightly. Zhang Yue flipped through the recipe and began to order, she ordered a few expensive dishes, and saw that Yuan Mo next to her did not react at all, so she immediately let go of her courage and ordered a table of expensive dishes. Seeing that Yuan Mo still didn't react, his heart blossomed, and he opened his mouth to ask for another ten-year seven-step incense.
At this time, Yuan Mo's cool voice sounded, "Don't want the wine, let's get a pot of superb osmanthus tea!" ”
Xiao Er promised to go out to prepare food, and Zhang Yue glanced at Yuan Mo in confusion.
Yuan Mo didn't look at her, pulled his cuffs and said,
"The wind and cold are just right, and the internal injuries are not good, so you are not allowed to drink."
Zhang Yue's heart was inexplicably hot, and he squeezed his eyes, "It's okay if you don't drink, just eat the food here." ”
Yuan Mo asked, "Someone invited you to eat here before?" ”
Zhang Yue was surprised, "How do you know?" ”
Yuan Mo said, "You were very skilled when ordering just now, and you even know that the roast duck here needs to be served with three cakes, and you are obviously a regular customer here."
"It's possible that I ate it myself!" Zhang Yue distinguished.
"As long as you save that little money, it's strange that you can be willing to eat and drink in such an expensive restaurant, someone else must invite you!"
Although Zhang Yue admired Yuan Mo's shrewdness in his heart, he pretended to be disdainful and said, "Yes, let you be right, my friends in the capital have invited me to eat here a few times." ”
Yuan Mo glanced at Zhang Yue in surprise and did not speak. After a while, the dishes were all over the table, Zhang Yue was not polite to Yuan Mo, picked up the chopsticks, took a sip of tea, and ate a mouthful of food, Yuan Mo also moved the chopsticks slightly, and still watched Zhang Yue eat most of the time. Zhang Yue ate for a while, remembered and asked,
"Yuan Mo, why did you come to the capital? Does the master know? ”
Yuan Mo's eyes dimmed, "Not long after you went down the mountain, I also got the permission of the master to go down the mountain, not long ago the senior brother wrote to inform me that the master left Wuling Mountain and went overseas alone. ”
Zhang Yue chewed the roast duck meat in his mouth, and was also a little sad, "I know that the master went overseas, and I saw the letter written by the senior brother to the third senior brother." ”
Yuan Mo stared at Zhang Yue's eyes for a while, and asked, "Did you already know that the master was going overseas?" ”
The duck meat in Zhang Yue's mouth was almost stuck in his throat, and his eyes were dodging, "Uh-how would I know." As he spoke, he lowered his head and continued to add duck meat to his mouth.
Yuan Mo didn't speak, just stared at Zhang Yue quietly.
Zhang Yue hurriedly changed the topic, "That, why did you go down the mountain?" Where have you been these months? ”
Yuan Mo said slowly, "I suddenly wanted to go down the mountain and walk around, and after going down the mountain, I went home first, and I officially took over the family business." I'm rich now! ”
Zhang Yue swallowed a sip of osmanthus tea, full of fragrance, and said with a smile, "It's good to be rich!" You can invite me to dinner every day. ”
"If you love to eat here, you can come here every day."
Zhang Yue smiled, "You're kidding, it's the most expensive here!" Eat every day, where can you afford to eat. ”
Yuan Mo smiled meaningfully, took a sip of tea, his eyes flashed slightly, and said, "I heard about an interesting thing after I entered the capital. ”
"What's the matter?"
"When the crown prince presented the emperor with a painting with the teacher's original handwriting."
Zhang Yue pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said a little unnaturally, "Oh, it seems that there is such a thing." What's so interesting about that?!"
"The master has never inscribed to anyone over the years, only a few days ago he inscribed Ji Rumo from the capital."
"Oh."
"So Ji Rumo is the crown prince Zhu Youzhang?"
"Hmm."
"You already know?"
"Ahh
"Senior brother and master also knew about it early on?"
"The master shouldn't know, the senior brother has known for a long time."
"You, underestimate the master too much."
Zhang Yue looked at Yuan Mo suspiciously, and Yuan Mo continued.
"I don't mean these when I'm interesting, I remember that the ancient painting that the prince Zhu Youzhu used to inscribe to the master was "Eight Immortals Birthday Picture", but how did I hear that the painting presented by the prince Zhu Youzhu on the spot is a "Peng Zu Opera Ghost Difference", and there are the master's authentic works on it, and it is said that Xuanwei Academy sent someone to the emperor's birthday banquet."
Zhang Yue asked in surprise, "How do you know so much?" ”
Yuan Mo continued, "Hmph! The master has already traveled overseas, how could he write another authentic handiwork to Zhu Youjiao, but if it is a fake, how can he deceive everyone, including the third senior brother? ”
Zhang Yue swallowed, "This... I don't know? ”
Yuan Mo looked at her with burning eyes, was silent for a while, and sighed slightly, "Xiao Wu, how long are you going to hide it from me?" That's what you wrote, right? ”
