Chapter 82: Cui's Tavern
"It's night, we've just come back, who's going to come over at this time?" Shen Yurong saw Wang Qu rushing to open the door, a little puzzled, and then turned his head to look at Xue Ji.
Xue Ji didn't dare to say absolutely, but he could guess one or two. He only knew this person when he entered the capital, and he was still in such a hurry to find him, either King Ning's people or Chen Yu's people.
"Madame, rest first, I'll go take a look." Xue Ji said, his eyes motioned for quicksand to follow and wait, and then he turned around and went to the front yard again.
At this time, the door of the mansion was open, and a small man standing outside the door was talking to Wang Qu about his intentions, and when he saw Xue Ji coming from afar, he stopped talking and called inside: "Lord Xue!"
Wang Qu hesitated a little, looked back at Xue Ji, and saw that he didn't seem to have any intention of stopping him, so he turned sideways and let people in.
The man stepped forward quickly, and when he arrived in front of Xue Ji, he called a thousand, and said with a smile: "Lord Xue is fine, the slave is from the house of the master of the horse, and the master of the horse heard that Lord Xue has arrived in Beijing, and he has the intention of setting up a banquet for the lord to catch the wind and wash the dust, and invite the lord to get together tomorrow."
Xue Ji was a little moved in his heart, although Chen Yu chose to be in 'a drunken thousand autumns' probably because this is a famous restaurant in Beijing, but this place has a lot of fate with him, when he first came to the capital, he and Xu Lang drank wine and talked happily in 'a drunk thousand autumns', and once again held a banquet in 'a drunk thousand autumns' when the title of the gold list was titled, this restaurant has an extraordinary significance to him.
"Tomorrow?" Xue Ji wanted to agree, but the words turned around and swallowed back.
He remembered something. Just returned to Beijing, tomorrow to enter the palace first to resume his life, after entering the palace to resume his life, he should go to see King Ning, if he crossed King Ning to see Chen Yu first, what rumors will come out of the capital to protect Qi......
"I'm afraid Xue won't be able to pull away tomorrow. Lord Chen has received it, can this banquet be changed to another day?"
The smile on the little guy's face collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the only remaining curvature at the corner of his mouth was slightly stiff. "In this way, the slave will go back and pay homage to the master of the horse." After that, he didn't say anything more, bowed his head and hunched his back away.
Xue Ji saw that he was far away, but there was an extra pimple in his heart, he rejected Chen Yu's hospitality so much, and he didn't know how Chen Yu would feel. It's a brother, and I've been helped by others over the years, but today I have refuted people's face, and I feel a little uneasy in my heart.
Just thinking about it like this, since the person has gone far away and the door is closed, his mind will naturally be retracted.
Xue Ji thought for a while and called Wang Qu over: "You go to King Ning's mansion and say, I will come to the door tomorrow to meet the prince."
It was late at night, the lights in Princess Wanyu's mansion were still on, Wanyu coaxed her daughter to sleep and came out of the courtyard to sit, watching Chen Yu standing aside, she just accompanied her quietly without saying a word.
The little guy sent to Xue Ji's mansion has returned, and Chen Yu heard that Xue Ji refused, which was expected, but he was inevitably disappointed. He could more or less guess how many points, Xue Ji couldn't pull away, it was all an excuse, but it was more important than that of King Ning.
The night breeze blows up the clothes, which is a rare coolness in the middle of summer. Chen Yu sat down and drank a cup of tea, and only after a long silence did he let out a sigh, and at this time he was inevitably panicked. He was in a hurry to help Xue Ji come back to suppress Chen Shao, but like now, each has his own masters and has different aspirations...... I'm afraid I can't go his way.
"Is it because of Xue Qingzhi?" Wanyu saw that he was silent for a long time, and turned her face to look at him and asked.
Chen Yu pondered for a moment and nodded, which was acceptable.
Wanyu looked at him for a long time, and suddenly laughed softly: "What do you say you are worried about, although each is its own master, but our family is close to each other, Mingli is different, isn't it still a family in private?" He still dares to divorce our Huadu, can't he?"
This sounds playful, like a joke, but what can be said is indeed true, Hua Jue and Xue Chen are destined to kiss the baby, how can they say that they will retreat?
Chen Yu still didn't speak, so Wanyu continued to persuade: "No matter what happens in the future, what is it outside, this love can't be broken in private, he can't pull away tomorrow, and it's the same another day, 'once drunk Qianqiu' will drive there and won't run, and the husband is still fighting with the third brother for this order?"
Chen Yu amused her by this, and the gloom on her face gradually dissipated, and she turned into a smile: "Yes
I can't run away, I don't fight for this, it's all up to you."
Wanyu feigned anger and glared at him: "It's all up to me, you dare to let me spend time in this courtyard with you, look at what time it is!"
Chen Yu knew her temper, where was she really angry, and it was almost the same as changing her way to be coquettish. Although her heart was like a mirror, she still got up and walked into the house with her arms around her, and comforted her with two words: "It's mine, don't blame the princess."
Next
Just in time for Xiu Mu, there is no need to go to court early, Xue Ji entered the palace early in the morning to resume his life, Qin Heng didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't say a few words, but he asked Qianzhou how it was, and praised it stiffly, "Xue Aiqing is really the pillar of the country", and then waved his hand to drive people away.
If Qin Heng didn't like Xue Ji very much, it wasn't that he didn't forget to give rewards when he came, and those things that were given by the emperor were definitely not cheap things. Ordinary people enter the palace to restore their lives, and it is almost the same when they explain clearly, and when they come to Xue Ji, they still think about giving rewards, which is not like dislike......
Before Xue Ji could figure out what the Holy Lord meant, he had already knelt down and walked out of the Zichen Palace, almost at the gate of the palace. Seeing Wang Qu load all the rewards into the car, he nodded at him and said, "Go to King Ning's Mansion."
As soon as Wang Qu heard this, he seemed to have just come back to his senses, put down the things in his hand, and said to Xue Ji, "Master, King Ning just let people know you, you don't have to go to King Ning's Mansion, go directly to Cui's Tavern."
Xue Ji was slightly stunned when he heard this place, Cui's Tavern? I hadn't heard of it before.
"Why did the prince think of choosing such a place......
muttered a few words in his mouth, but still got into the car according to his words, Wang Qu drove the car away from the palace gate and walked through the lanes of Chang'an City. This tavern is really not a famous place, Xue Ji has never been here, just looking out from the window, looking through I don't know how many streets, but it can be regarded as a place, the slightly simple storefront hangs a wooden plaque with the words 'Cui's Tavern'.
Xue Ji frowned, looked at the place, and then looked at Wang Qu. "Is this it?"
Wang Qu replied, "Back to my master, this is it."
The pot of wine accompanied him. After all these years, with his mother and concubine stuck in the middle, he and Cui Wanxi couldn't get close, but now the two of them are comfortable, without worries, let alone suspicions.
He mentioned this matter to Xu Yan, but Xu Yan didn't mind at all, and said that he would let him take Cui Wanxi into the palace, but he thought that the princess had just given birth to a son, and he didn't know about it.
Xue Ji sat down, but he didn't see King Ning speak for a long time, he looked at Xu Yan, and he didn't seem to mean to say a few words. After hesitating, he opened his mouth: "The minister has been away from the capital for a long time, I don't know the wind and rain in Beijing in recent years, I heard that the prince was in trouble before, although the minister was in Qianzhou, he was still worried all night, but fortunately, now that the rain has passed, the sky is clear, and I heard that the prince is happy to have a beloved son, it is the minister's negligence, and he has not had time to say hello to the prince."
King Ning came back to his senses, looked at his serious appearance, and wanted to laugh for no reason: "When did you learn this set of sycophants?"
Xue Ji's heart was shocked, but he looked up at the Venerable Master with a smile, and immediately understood, and smiled. "After seeing a lot, I learned a few words, doesn't the prince like to listen?"
"I love to hear it, who doesn't like to hear good words." As King Ning spoke, he motioned for Cui Wanxi to bring good wine and food to the table. Turning around and raising his eyebrows at Xue Jiyi, he joked again: "You haven't learned the essence either, people can flatter you when you say this."
