Liu Ziyu and Jiang Songming brought pears to the store, called "Zhen Yuan years", homophonic Zhen Yuan years.

Song Ming said that this is a centuries-old shop, after many years, even the war in the Central Plains, it has endured, and the crab made is the best in the world.

Zimi and Cherry stood behind Liluo, and after hearing the introduction of the eldest prince, they swallowed their saliva greedily.

Seeing that it was Liu Ziyu and his party, Xiao Er in the store hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and took them straight to the private room on the second floor.

Riraku was wearing a hat and couldn't see the surroundings very clearly, but she could also see that this shop was a restaurant converted from a boat mill.

Although it is located outside the city of Beijing, it is very elegantly arranged, as soon as you enter, you will find that the roof of the building is full of lanterns, and the lanterns are painted with all kinds of pictures of ladies, and the breeze blows, these portraits look extremely moving.

The other decorations in the restaurant are also mostly embellished with ancient pines and rockeries, showing the elegant taste of the owner, and there is a sense of tranquility in the middle of the noisy among the many boat shops.

Outside the private room on the second floor, some small green bamboos are sparsely planted, through which you can see the situation on both sides of the canal, Liluo noticed that the carvings on the windows of this restaurant are also very exquisite, she took a closer look, the carvings seem to be, the mythological stories of ancient times, such as Kuafu chasing the moon, Chang'e running to the moon, Jingwei reclamation, etc., the carvings are very small, but the portrayal is extremely exquisite, so that she is secretly amazed in her heart.

Seeing that Liluo looked seriously, Liu Ziyu said on the side, "This shop has been passed down for several generations, and now, it is classified as the eldest grandson of the Beijing Division, and the eldest grandson of the current Changsun family is also studying in Suiyang Academy, and he is a classmate of Si Miao (Jiang Song Mingzi). ”

When Liluo heard this, he asked, "The surname of the eldest grandson is very special, is it the descendant of the former Tang eldest grandson family?" ”

Liu Ziyu smiled, "I don't know about this, you have to ask Si Miao (Jiang Song Mingzi)?" ”

After Jiang Songming heard it, he said with some disdain, "If it is, then the eldest grandson will live up to this surname, this person has few achievements in knowledge, he specializes in skillful skills, and he has no real skills, I heard that some of the industries of the eldest grandson family are all supported by their family's righteous son, Changsun Ming." ”

It's another big family story, Riloku thought to herself.

The crab has not been served yet, the child in the store first sent a plate of fish soup, Liu Ziyu gave a bowl of pear Luo, and said, "Today, when I make amends, crabs are a cold thing, you drink some fish soup to cushion your stomach first, I ordered a little wine from the Western Regions, and it is best to eat with crabs for a while." ”

After speaking, he also arranged another table for Zimi and Cherry to eat there, and the two little girls passed over excitedly.

"Why are you so good to my sister, usually come out with you, you are only willing to invite me to drink rice wine." Jiang Songming said dissatisfied.

"You also said that you are studying hard, you have no money, how many good things you have eaten from me, and now you are still here to talk to Liluo, how long has she not been in Beijing." As soon as Liu Ziyu said this, Jiang Songming immediately smiled embarrassedly, "There is no way to be poor, I will make up for it after I am admitted to the fame." ”

Liu Ziyu also wanted to fight back at Song Ming a few words, but after all, Lord Jiang was also a member of the five grades in the court, and his uncle Lord Shen Wu was even more noble in the court, and he actually cried poor in front of him, but in view of the pear falling here, he had to hold back.

Liluo saw that the relationship between his brother and Liu Ziyu was still as good as before, and he couldn't help but feel happy for them, Liluo said, "Brother Ziyu, I brought a little pear blossom brew this time, and let my brother bring it to you another day to taste." ”

Ziyu replied, "Liluo, you better put it in Songming's place, and when I have time to go over and drink, my mother is very tight, and she won't let me touch the wine at all." ”

Riraku smiled and nodded.

Soon, a plate of golden crabs was served, and it made people have a great appetite when they looked at it, Jiang Songming was very happy, and immediately chanted, "Chelate is gold liquid, and the dregs are Penglai, and you must drink fine wine and take the moon on the high platform." ”

Liluo knew that her brother liked Li Taibai the most, and she came casually about his poems.

Liu Ziyu ignored Jiang Songming, he skillfully hammered the crab shell open with a round waist hammer, revealing the golden crab roe, and introduced, "The crabs here are from Taihu Lake, and they have only been salvaged recently. After saying that, he handed the processed crab to Liluo.

Liluo smiled and said, "Brother Ziyu is still good to me." She took a bite with a small spoon, and it was delicious.

It didn't take long to eat, Xiao Er brought up a plate of crab stuffed oranges, Liu Ziyu then introduced, "This plate of crab stuffed oranges, take the yellow ripe big orange with the top, cut off the top to remove the pulp, leave a little juice, and then stuff the crab meat, crab roe, and crab oil into the orange cup, steam it with wine, water, vinegar, and eat it with salt, the taste is a little stronger than what you just eat, but the crab is cold, you just eat one, and drink it with a little wine." ”

Looking at Liu Ziyu so detailed, Jiang Songming was also a little moved, if you just look at Liu Ziyu, he agrees with his sister marrying him, Liu Ziyu has studied martial arts since elementary school, and he has been exercising in the Yulin Army at a young age, and he has not been infected with many problems of the children of the Beijing master, and he is considerate and motivated.

It's just that after my mother came back that year, I told my father that I didn't agree to marry the Liu family, Liu's mother was kind, but her vision was too narrow, and the traditional concept was extremely serious, so she shouldn't be able to accept a daughter-in-law like her sister who was very assertive and thoughtful.

Thinking of this, Jiang Songming's heart was slightly astringent, Liu Ziyu didn't know about this matter yet, seeing that he was so attentive to his sister, he was wondering if he should find an opportunity to talk honestly with him.

After the crab feast, Liu Ziyu proposed to go to the river together, at this time the river breeze was breezy, the moonlight was just right, Liluo was wearing a hat, and the light gauze was blowing with the night breeze.

Ziyu asked softly on the side, "Liluo, do you want to put the river lantern?" ”

During the Midyear Festival, she didn't have the opportunity to put the river lantern at all, and when she heard Liu Ziyu ask, Liluo nodded, she wanted to pray for her mother.

After Liu Ziyu heard it, he quickly disappeared to buy a river lantern, and Liluo looked at his running back and felt that there was something that should be made clear to him.

Jiang Songming saw his sister's expression and seemed to understand something, he went to the side and called a small boat, and when Liu Ziyu came back from buying a lantern, Jiang Songming smiled and proposed, "It's better to go to the boat and put the lantern, so that it can be placed farther away." ”

After speaking, he excitedly took Liluo and Liu Ziyu to the boat, and when Liluo and Liu Ziyu sat down and the boat was about to leave, Jiang Songming immediately jumped off the boat and said loudly to them, "I'm seasick, you guys go." ”

Liu Ziyu had no choice but to smile bitterly, "This Si Miao (Jiang Songming)." ”

Liluo also smiled helplessly, but the two of them were on the boat, which was a good opportunity to talk alone, and my brother must have seen his intentions.

Liluo gathered her clothes a little coldly, looking at the many scattered lanterns on the riverside, in various styles, swaying in the wind on the river, which reminded her of her mother.

When her mother was alive, she had a lively temperament and liked to join in the excitement, and when the festival came, she and her brother would be dressed up in glory, and then take the whole family out to put river lanterns and visit the night market.

Although his father is busy with official duties, as long as his mother wants to go out, he will always stand behind his mother, looking at her with affectionate eyes, and his eyes never leave.

Almost in the middle of the river, Liluo picked up the river lamp, gently placed it on the river, folded her hands, closed her eyes slightly, and seriously made her own wish, Liu Ziyu, who was sitting opposite, looked at her with gentle eyes.

After Liluo put the river lantern and saw that there was peace and tranquility around her, she lowered her head a little unnaturally, and some words did not know where to start.

Liu Ziyu seemed to understand her expression a little, he was on the side, and said with a smile, "Liluo, we have known each other for many years, if you have anything to say, you can speak directly." ”

After thinking about it, Liluo asked, "Brother Ziyu, have you ever liked someone?" ”

"Liluo, after I was twelve years old, I only liked you in my heart." Liu Ziyu replied unabashedly.

This sudden confession made Liluo a little panicked, she grabbed the hem of her clothes unnaturally, looking at the clear eyes of this bright young man, he was calm and his heart was like a bright sun.

Seeing him like this, Liluo felt that she should be so honest, she said softly, "When my mother was alive, she took me to Liu's house once, and at that time she also moved the idea of marrying your family, but later," about Liu Ziyu's mother, Liluo hesitated a little and said, "Mother thinks that your family is not very suitable for me, I have actually been rebellious since I was a child, and even have a different identity from ordinary boudoir women, and I naturally like to judge these cases, I think your mother should definitely not agree with a daughter-in-law like me." ”

Liu Ziyu looked at Liluo's serious expression, and the two looked at each other in the boat for a long time.

Seeing that Liu Ziyu didn't speak for a long time, Liluo said with some panic, "Actually, it's not your mother's business, it's just that I'm a bit special, and this time I came to Beijing, I also met a very special person, although this person lied to me." ”

Liluo lowered her head, like a child who had made a mistake, a little overwhelmed.

Liu Ziyu suddenly smiled and touched Liluo's head, this young man's eyes were like stars, and he said clearly, "Liluo, you don't have to feel guilty, you don't have to panic, everyone has the right to choose." It's like I like you, but you don't like me, and that's a sparse and common thing. We can't be lovers, but we can still be friends, can we? ”

Liluo raised his eyes to look at Liu Ziyu, the young man was still smiling handsomely, and the unconscious Liluo also smiled with him, Liluo said softly, "Yes, we have always been good friends." ”

Liu Ziyu asked the boatman to turn around and go back to the shore, and Liluo's mood was a little lighter.

Liu Ziyu looks relaxed on the surface, but in fact, his heart has been turbulent, but he is a person who often thinks about others, he doesn't want Liluo to feel flustered and helpless when he sees his loss, he hopes that even if Liluo has someone he likes, he can be friends with her, instead of deliberately avoiding it.

It's just that why does my heart hurt so much?

Biyue Shipyard, 2nd floor

A man dressed in royal blue clothes walked in, and when he saw Ning Yi staring out the window in a daze, he looked out of the window curiously, the lone light on the river flickered, and there was nothing, but in Ning Yi's eyes, there was a look of loss.

The man poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and said to Ning Yi, "Calling me over in such a hurry, won't it just make me look at you in a daze." The tone was flat and unwavering, but his dissatisfaction could be faintly heard.

Ning Yi came back to his senses, and also poured himself a glass of wine, and after drinking all the glasses, he said to the man in front of him, "It's a matter of business to call you over." ”

The man in front of him was Huangfu Changjian, he chuckled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Say, what do you want me to do you to help you with." ”

"I'm busy with the hanging painting now, I can't spare time, you can help me check it, why did Pei Qixuan choose to return to Beijing at this time?" Ning Yi said.

Hearing Pei Qixuan's name, the corners of Huangfu Changjian's mouth moved slightly, "What's so strange about this, didn't his father say it, it was for him to go back to Beijing to get married." ”

"It's not that simple," Ning Yi's expression showed a rare seriousness, "Pei Qixuan, who is in Suzhou, is doing salt affairs, he studied under the governor of Jiangsu, Fangzheng, gave up such a good fat difference, and returned to Beijing, if it were me, I wouldn't want to, and since it is a marriage, there are so many noble girls in Beijing, who does Pei Qixuan want to marry?" Don't you be curious? ”

"Hmph, I'm not interested, and how do you know if someone is giving up? What if they just take a leave of absence, and then go back after a while? Huangfu Changjian asked.

"There are at least a hundred people waiting behind him in that position, and if he leaves, do you think that seat will remain." Ning Yi raised his chin and said.

"That's not necessarily, if you think about it, his father is the head of the court, Pei Yi, and Pei Yi is in power." Huangfu Changjian said.

"Pei Yi has already helped Pei Qixuan quit this position, which is why I am curious." Ning Yi continued to pour himself a glass of wine, and by the way, he poured a glass for Pei Qixuan.

"I'm a businessman, what can I help you investigate?" Huangfu Changjian took a sip of wine.

"I heard that you are very interested in the salt introduction in the Taihu Lake area, why don't you take this opportunity to take a trip to Taihu Lake?" See what's in there. Ning Yi showed his fox-like eyes.

Huangpu Changjian glanced at Ning Yi, and a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, "I can go for you, but in exchange for conditions, you have to tell me why the Li family and his son died tragically, you must know that Li Zhuo is my frequent visitor, and his death is a great loss to me." ”

"You've earned enough," Ning Yi said dissatisfiedly on the side, everyone knows that Baihualou is a good place to burn money, but few people know that the owner of Baihualou is Huangpu Changjian, and his face shows a rare seriousness, "The death of the Li family's father and son is related to the secrets of the imperial court, and the fewer people who know, the better." ”

Huangpu Changjian didn't say anything when he heard Ning Yi say this, he took a sip of tea, revealing the same expression as he guessed, he thought about it, and suddenly asked with some curiosity, "What were you looking at just now?" ”

After Ning Yi heard this, the wine in his throat suddenly became bitter, and he replied coldly, "It's nothing." ”

Seeing that Ning Yi was reluctant to speak, Huangpu Changjian stood up and said, "I will go to check on the matter of Taihu Salt, I heard that this Jianghu Ghost Sect has been doing some actions in Jingshi recently, this Nangong Wushuang, I'm afraid there is a plan, you pay more attention to yourself, and by the way, take care of my Baihualou." ”

Seeing Ning Yi nodded, he thought of his sister, and then said, "Chu Xue misses you very much, I have time to see her." ”

Ning Yi's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness, he stood up and said, "I already have a girl I like in my heart, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go to see her again." ”

When Huangpu Changjian heard this, he only sighed slightly and turned to leave.

Ning Yi's eyes were still looking at the moonlight outside the window, remembering the restrained and cute appearance when she first came to Biyue Boat Workshop to look for him, thinking of this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
