Chapter 488: Selling Wine
When Liu Yan returned to the palace, the sun had already set.
The carriage staggered, and the wheels creaked.
Liu Yan lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, it was not yet dark, and there were more pedestrians on the street than during the day.
When she passed by here during the day, the sun was scorching, and the stone slabs in the street seemed to be sunburned, and everywhere was bright and dazzling, and only a few people were still walking outside on the street.
This year's summer seems to be even hotter than last year's.
At this time, there are a lot of people on the streets, everyone is rushing after the sun sets and before the curfew, taking advantage of the lack of sun, to go out, to do things. There was a small shop on the side of the street, and a lantern in front of the door had the word "wine" written on it.
The word is written ugly and looks ...... Rather, some are like a drunken man, standing crookedly, and looking to fall.
It's funny to be ugly.
Although the shop was not large, the business was good, and there was a queue outside the door, and some of the people who were waiting on their toes looked forward, probably trying to see how many people were still in front of them. Some squinted as if they were closing their eyes to recuperate, but Liu Yan saw the nose of the person with closed eyes open, as if he was smelling the aroma of wine floating in the air.
Liu Yan doesn't like to drink alcohol, and occasionally drinks some rice wine, fruit wine and the like, but only takes a shallow sip to taste the taste. As for the spirits, she smelled them unpleasantly.
The curtain of the wine shop flickered, and someone came out of it, carrying a small wine urn with a round belly.
Hey, it's an acquaintance.
The man looked up and saw the passing carriage, smiled, and took two more steps on his long legs before catching up.
"Princess."
Liu Yan pursed his lips and smiled, pointed to his wine urn and asked, "You're here to drink?" Why don't you call someone to come, it's still so hot outside. ”
Of course, this person who will come to drink by himself is not someone else, it is Lu Yi.
"It's been hot for the past two days, and I've been copying and checking the case files in the duty room, and I'm sitting so hard that my bones are sore, and I just took advantage of the sun to go down at this time, and I came out to scatter."
Liu Yan asked him, "Are you going back?" Dinner still doesn't work? ”
Seeing him like this, he wouldn't just drink a pound of wine for dinner, right?
Lu Yi smiled: "Not yet, I'm going to go to an acquaintance's place for dinner." ”
Belch......
How can this person talk about eating white food so openly?
Liu Yan didn't admit that he was worried about this person just now. She was still worried that he would run out of food when he went back? This man has a big mouth that can eat in all directions, and no one can starve him when he is hungry.
"Then you go back earlier, I'll go back to the palace too." Liu Yan wanted to put down the curtain as he spoke, Lu Yi stood in place, with a little hesitation in his expression, but seeing that the curtain was about to be lowered, he hurriedly chased after him: "Princess." ”
Liu Yan looked at him with some confusion.
Lu Yi said softly: "I have something I want to tell the princess." ”
On the side, longan only thinks that he does not exist.
What about bean custard? He had already cleverly turned to the other side of the car.
However, Liu Yan is not like them, all he thinks about is the love of children.
Lu Yi rarely showed a hesitant expression. Even when he encounters big and difficult things, he always talks and laughs.
Liu Yan said: "Then you get in the car, I'll give you a ride." ”
Lu Yi didn't shirk it, and he didn't stop the car, he held the wheel with his hand, and got into the car like a raccoon cat with a brisk movement.
He held the small wine urn in both hands, and saluted in the car very casually, Liu Yan waved his hand: "Okay, don't make such politeness." What do you have to tell me? ”
In fact, before he opened his mouth, Liu Yan could guess a few points.
If Lu Yi encountered something difficult by himself, he would definitely carry it on his shoulders, not only did he carry it, but others would not be able to see what he was embarrassed about.
He will not complain to others, especially Liu Yan.
He would want to tell her that it must have something to do with her, and that it might be a troublesome thing to solve.
"There's something...... I also knew about it by accident. Since Lu Yi has already opened his mouth, there is no need to hide the words in the future: "The third princess lived in her aunt's house for two years when she was a teenager, and at that time she became acquainted with a distant relative who also lived in her aunt's house to study, and the two seemed to be ......."
"Having a personal affair?" Liu Yan looked at Lu Yi's expression and asked very calmly, "I guessed right?" ”
"Yes," Lu Yi said, "As far as I know, after the aunt of the third princess found out about this incident, she found another place for that distant relative to study, and after a short time, the third princess was also sent back to her own family, the Xiao clan. ”
"Is there something wrong with that person? Why didn't her aunt fulfill them? ”
After all, at that time, the Xiao family was not assigned to marry the third prince.
"That family, the family is very poor, otherwise there is no need to take refuge with relatives and live under the fence." Lu Yi is not a person who is keen on probing into his family's shortcomings and digging people's privacy, but because of his personality, popularity, and his current official position, he can come into contact with these unknown private things almost every day.
"The Xiao family's family is dead, crippled, and the Xiao family has only one widowed mother to rely on each other, probably placing great expectations on this daughter."
This Liu Yan knows that the old lady of the Xiao family is an extremely strong and strong person.
Later, the Xiao family became the princess, which finally fulfilled the wish of the old lady of the Xiao family.
Why wasn't Liu Yan surprised? Not angry?
Because the Xiao family has not lived a good life since they married the third prince, the Xiao family is indifferent, silent, and has always ignored the three princes, and the two of them are strangers.
Liu Yan had already guessed the reason why Xiao did this.
Even if she is dissatisfied with this family affair, she can't look down on the third brother, and it is too much to do so.
Unexpectedly, she guessed correctly at that time, Xiao did have another sweetheart.
Now hearing what Lu Yi said to her, Liu Yan didn't feel relaxed at all.
For no reason, what did Lu Yi do in the past of the three princesses? He's not the nosy guy.
Something must have happened.
"That person, is the old acquaintance of the third princess, he also came to Beijing, he is a new person in this subject, after the hospital examination, the third princess knew about it, sent someone to send him a letter, and arranged for him to live in his own courtyard."
Liu Yan understood what Lu Yi meant.
Her eyes narrowed: "Their old love has been rekindled?" ”
Lu Yi nodded lightly.
Liu Yan took a deep breath.
She wasn't angry just now, but now she's really angry.
"Who else knows about this? Third brother, does he know? ”
Lu Yi hesitated for a moment before saying: "I'm not sure, but the old lady of the Xiao family knows, she has already sent someone to take that distant relative away, and sent two elderly mothers to the third princess, she should want to persuade and take care of her." ”
