Back in the house, Song Ran felt that he should go and greet the mute, he kept stuffy in his room, and he didn't even show up when she came back.

But after knocking on the door a few times, he ignored her, she looked at Uncle Zhong who was busy on the side, this dumb man, what kind of trouble?

Uncle Zhong sat on a small stool and picked up the mugwort leaves, and said, "Young master, let him be quiet." ”

Song Ran also moved a small bench over to help Uncle Zhong pick mugwort leaves together.

The old man said casually: "Lord Xia mentioned the famine fifteen years ago today, and the old slave still has some impressions. It's hard to forget the starvation everywhere. The dumb man seems to have been lost with his sister at that time, and like Lord Xia, they are all poor people. ”

Song Ran let out a long sigh and said, "In the era when the so-called natural disasters and man-made disasters made people suffer from creation and made people, and they couldn't even eat enough, I don't know how many people lived without a human being. ”

"I think back then, corrupt officials and profiteers colluded with each other to raise grain prices, which caused the people's resentment to boil, and it was all thanks to the disaster relief of the saint's relatives that Lord Gu made a quick decision, killed a few corrupt officials, and opened a warehouse to release grain to relieve the people, so as to suppress the people's grievances. Otherwise, the collapse of the building would have been blink of an eye. Later, Lord Gu's official fortunes rose and fell, and finally became the first assistant, which also met the wishes of the people. ”

Song Ran lowered his eyes: "But now, every family worships their ancestors and sweeps the tombs, who remembers to burn a handful of paper money for him......"

At the beginning, the saint ordered that the rebellious minister and thief Gu Linsheng be thrown into the wilderness, and no one was allowed to set up a tablet for him, let alone anyone to pay tribute to him. A generation of famous ministers ended up like this, which is embarrassing.

The night is as cool as water. Su Long squatted outside the Cuiping Hall of the Musk Lan Palace, and lit a stack of paper money with a fire fold. She was dressed in plain clothes, and she didn't apply fat powder, chatting with the flames that were dancing in front of her: "Father-in-law, your old man has not died very peacefully over the years. After so many years of hard work, in the end, I didn't even have a coffin board...... If you have a grudge, go to Shengshang and Shen Hanxi. ”

She sat down on the steps of the Cuiping Hall with her clothes in her hands, and her wide robe was messily spread on the jade steps.

"Father-in-law, I really hate you, I hate you for picking me out of so many girls. There are so many girls in the house, why did you choose me? I originally thought that I was beautiful, but no matter how bad it was, it was because I was smart, but later I realized that it was because I looked the most similar to Chen Guifei. Pet the crown of the sixth house? ......" she scooped up the flask in her hand and poured it down, "Heh, whoever is rare will go." ”

In the cold moonlight, the burning paper money gradually extinguished, leaving only a pile of ashes. The woman drank alone while chatting with someone who no longer existed. Xiao Dezi, who was arranged to let off wind at the palace gate, was drowsy, and he didn't even notice that the emperor stopped in front of him.

When he noticed it, it was already too late, and he was excited, shaking his voice and saying to the person in front of him: "Long live Lord, you ...... How did you get here? ”

The man was wearing a dark yellow dress, and he didn't hug him as usual, but only brought a palace maid to hold the lamp behind him. His eyebrows were sparse, and he looked younger than his actual age. Although there was a trace of paleness on his face, it did not reduce the majesty of the Ninety-Five. Xiao Dezi thinks that the saint seems to have been reduced a little recently, probably because the government affairs are too busy.

"Why are you so flustered when you see me?"

Xiao Dezi hurriedly said: "The slave didn't dare, but I didn't expect that the Long Live Lord would come without saying a word." The slave will go to pass on the master. ”

But the emperor stopped him: "No need, I just came to see, I didn't intend to alarm too many people." ”

As he spoke, he strode into the palace gate. Xiao Dezi hurriedly followed behind him, and said secretly, Niangniang, Niangniang, don't make any mistakes. As a result, as soon as she arrived at the Cuiping Palace, she saw her sitting there and pouring wine into her mouth.

He couldn't help but call Niangniang, but was stopped by the emperor with a gesture.

The emperor left them and walked towards Su Long alone.

Xiao Dezi looked at him and picked up Su Long horizontally, and hurriedly quietly signaled the palace maid to retreat with him.

The Emperor hugged the drunken woman and glanced at the burnt ashes in front of the steps, a dark light gathering in his eyes. The person in his arms noticed the movement, woke up slowly, raised his eyes to look at him, and was a little surprised: "Long live the Lord?" ”

He wiped away the emotions in his eyes and said lightly: "Drinking alone under the moon, the concubine seems to have a lot of things to worry about?" As he spoke, he hugged her and marched into the Cuiping Palace, "The night is long, and I will listen to you talk about it." ”

In the dormitory, the agarwood is curling, and the palace candles are bright.

For Su Long, it was another long night of clouds and rain.

The next morning, after breakfast, Song Ran pushed the bowl forward, got up and went back to the room, and after a while, he changed into men's clothes and came out. The mute saw that she was dressed like she was going out, and consciously went to prepare a horse, but she stopped him: "There is no need for a horse, I will walk, you go to the shop with Uncle Zhong today, and bring some old planks back when you come back." The firewood house and the south house are leaking some rain, so they will be repaired and repaired while the weather is good on these two days. ”

"What about you?"

"Take a trip to Li Ji Qian Zhuang and exchange some silver."

"I'll redeem it." Such a trivial matter, telling him and Uncle Zhong is, how can it be worth her to run in person?

saw her pouting and said, "I just don't want to be bored at home, I want to go out for a walk, go to the street by the way, and buy some things." ”

Uncle Zhong and the dumb man are both big men, and she doesn't want them to follow them wherever some girls go around.

The dumb man naturally didn't understand the thoughts of his daughter's family, but think about Li Ji Qianzhuang on Xiling'an Street, there is a red shop not far away, in order to maintain law and order in the capital, the imperial court set up seventy-two red shops around the outer imperial city, and there are sergeants patrolling the city every day, so he nodded reassuringly and said: "Don't come back too late, the world is chaotic, there is no harm in being careful." ”

Song Ran raised the corner of his eyes and looked at him: "How did you learn Uncle Zhong, it's a wordy." He shushed at him again, with a sly smile in his eyes, "Don't tell Uncle Zhong, I'm leaving." ”

Song Ran slipped all the way to Li Ji Qian Village, carried the redeemed silver in his arms, shopped all the things he wanted to shop, bought all the things he needed, hired a small servant to send him home, and went to Ruyi Building on the way, planning to order a few dishes to take back and improve the food for Uncle Zhong and them.

I have long heard that Ruyi Lou is the largest restaurant in Ling'an City, the so-called "Ling'an Eight Uniques" is quite prestigious, as soon as you enter the building, the real people are boiling, and all the winemakers are busy with their feet not touching the ground.

She looked at the wooden sign hanging on the wall and said, "Five-spice smoked fish, braised lion's head......"

It was probably a few days when she was too old, and as soon as she ordered two dishes, she heard a familiar loud voice beside her.

"The private room is full and you can't let the master make do here, what about your shopkeeper, call the master out and ask him if he doesn't want to live."

Hearing that voice, she instantly stiffened, eager to cover her face with her sleeves. The big green-robed boy who dragged 2580,000 yuan was not the disciple he met in Huafu Temple that day, who else could it be?

"Master, who is using the private room I often go to, let him let him come out."

"Second master, it's embarrassing for you, so let's wait here for a while......"

"What? Let me wait? ”

Song Ran buried his head deeper, and heard the voice of the little maid: "Childe, five-spice smoked fish, braised lion's head, what else?" ”

She whispered, "Sorry, no. ”

With that, he got up and left his seat with his head down. Fortunately, she was wearing men's clothes today, which was not so conspicuous, and she quickly passed by the master without attracting his attention. But the accident came so coincidentally, she had just passed him two steps before someone hit her, and the money bag that was originally stuffed in her sleeve fell to the ground with a click. She didn't care about picking it up, so she just buried her head and walked out the door.

The person who hit him complained, noticed the money bag on the ground, and picked it up: "Second master...... Why is this money bag so familiar? ”

Naturally familiar, it's not his!

The young master jumped up: "Come on, get her back for me!" ”

After a cup of tea, Song Ran was forced to sit opposite him and accept his unbridled scrutiny. I couldn't help but secretly blame Uncle Zhong for stuffing this money bag into her.

Besides, the green robe, since she was beaten up in Huafu Temple on the day of the fight, she vowed to find her, but there are so many people in Ling'an City, how difficult it is to find someone. But his luck is so good, he simply stepped on the iron shoes and found nowhere to go, and it took no effort to get it.

She wore men's clothes today, and if she didn't look closely, she would have been fooled.

"You're running." He crossed Erlang's legs, and it was difficult to hide his pride.

There were his people all around, how she ran. Seeing that she was silent, he was even more complacent, and said to his subordinates: "Tell this girl who the young master is!" ”

"Listen, this is the second son of Prince Dajingchun's mansion, the prince of Dajing, and the second master of Zhu!" Just ask if you're afraid!

Song Ran's eyes couldn't help jumping when he heard his name. 's father is the prince, his uncle is the head of the household, and his maternal grandfather is Ren Jing Zhaoyin - these two masters are actually like this.

He didn't care about the image at all, he took off the green robe, and showed her the fist marks left on his body: "Look at it, look at it, this mark has not disappeared now, and my mother has never beaten me like this!" ”

Beat it, dare to steal his money, just steal his money, and dare to swagger to Ruyi Louhua, this girl simply doesn't take him seriously.

She turned her face slightly, avoiding this indecent scene, and then politely reasoned with him: "The prince of the world is in the front, and the people's daughter is in the back." I didn't know the identity of the prince that day, and I was offended, and I hope you will forgive me. ”

"Thin? I just grabbed your arm and it was thin?! Come on, come on, come here, I'll show you what it means to be thin! ”

As he spoke, he was about to jump over the table and pounce on her, but his attendant was quickly stopped.

Two house slaves fanned him with folding fans on the left and right, and one of them persuaded: "Second master, this crowd is like a little girl, and the reputation of the palace is not good, it is better to invite the girl to sit in the palace, you close the door, hehehehe......"

Seeing a lewd smile on the other party's face, Song Ran couldn't help but have a trace of disgust in his eyes, but it was not easy to show it.

She is in an absolutely vulnerable position at this time, and all she can do is bluff.

"Since the second master is the clan of Dajing, he must be reasonable. Right and wrong on that day, you and I have our own words, and we can never tell the difference between black and white. ”

There was a mocking look in the small eyes of the green robe: "You mean to report to the official?" Don't bother with it. "The government is basically run by his family.

"When such a thing goes to the yamen, your face will be disgraced. Minnu means that not far away is the Chengwu Palace, and the prince is your elder, so he must be willing to come to judge such a lawsuit. Why don't you bring him in? ”

When Song Ran said this, he didn't really want to invite King Chengwu over. There is no need to labor him for such a trivial matter. She said this just to tell Second Master Zhu that she was not an ordinary woman and could be bullied by him. Although King Chengwu is not in Beijing all the year round, and he does not have much contact with the children of the clan, but the seniority is left there, he must also be taboo.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Luo's robe really changed his face slightly: "King Chengwu? Who are you? ”

Song Ran said: "The little girl is not talented, and at the invitation of the prince, she swam the Huanhua River once. ”
