In the early morning, the hustle and bustle of Chang'an City has not begun, even in the winter when the sun rises late, there is a vigorous smell in the air, compared with the drunken gold fans at night, it seems that the two cities are completely different.

On the streets of the Eastern Metropolis, Yi Yu got out of the carriage, shrugged his arms back, and secretly stretched his waist, but Lu Zhi looked back and asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

"Sleep well—aha." Saying this, she covered her mouth and yawned, seeing his disbelief, she hurriedly said: "Really sleep well, don't believe you ask Pingtong," she turned her head to look at Pingtong who was following her with a cloak and covered her, and blinked her right eye, "Did I rest early last night." ”

Pingtong walked around to her and lowered his head to tie the belt, and couldn't help but smile: "Yes." She didn't tell the story of Yu Yu getting up in the middle of the night and flipping through the book to read.

Lu Zhi would be fooled by the two of them, glanced at the Yu Yu, and walked towards the Jinji porridge shop, and said, "You just go to bed late, don't think about that long." ”

"Big brother." Yi Yu flattened her mouth dissatisfiedly, why have people been talking about her height recently, she has only turned thirteen in spring, and she has not yet reached the time of growth.

The two masters and one servant entered the porridge shop, and it was early in the morning when the business was busy, and the store was almost full, and two little second-hand feet quickly served the porridge back and forth, and another warmly greeted them, and led them to an empty seat to sit down.

"Three bowls of fresh chestnut soup, two baskets of wheat dumplings, and a few signature side dishes."

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute." Xiao Er habitually wiped his desk with a sweat towel, and then happily ran to report the food.

Yiyu is the second time to come to this porridge shop, the breakfast here tastes very good, but because it is opened in the Eastern Metropolis, the price is naturally not cheap, three people eat it at a time, and they also need two taels of silver.

Thinking of this, she reached out and touched the money bag on her waist, the weight of which made her feel a little weak. Since entering the Huaiguo Mansion, they are not worried about food and clothing, but when they go out, they have individual expenses, and they still spend their own private money, and it is said that there is a moon silver in the house to give them these young ladies and gentlemen, but I don't know how it is not yet time, no one has mentioned this matter, according to this, only in and out, how can it be done?

"How is the house in Longquan Town repaired?" Yi Yu asked, this time a mess smashed over, almost forgot their new house in Longquan Town, the natural hot spring is covetous, if it can be repaired before the year, this winter soak, think about how comfortable it is.

When Lu Zhi was asked by her, he also remembered this stubble, and replied: "Someone brought a letter over yesterday, saying that it was about to be completed, so let's find time to go back." ”

Yu Yu was happy, "Then when will we go back and take a look?" ”

"Let's wait for this time."

"Good!" When the time comes, go back to see the new house, and by the way, "add material" to the hawthorn forest at the foot of the mountain, otherwise you will not be able to deliver the goods at the end of the year.

As he spoke, Xiao Er put the dishes on the table one by one, Pingtong stopped the action of Yu Yu to get the spoon, took out a cloth bag, took out two sets of porcelain spoons and silver chopsticks and placed them in front of them, this little movement naturally did not escape the eyes of the people around them, but those who can come here to eat have no power and money, and they brought their own tableware, just looked at it twice.

Eat breakfast, it is indispensable to listen to some gossip, compared with the overly angry West Market, and the overly childish Guozijian, the gossip jokes in the Eastern Metropolis are obviously a higher grade.

"Yo, Lord Zou, why did you eat here early in the morning?" A long face came in from outside the door, walked to the left neighbor of the Yu table, and stood still, greeting the round-faced person on the seat.

"Liu Yuanwai, sit. I picked up the post yesterday, and I'm going to a banquet tomorrow night, so I'm thinking about shopping around the neighborhood and shopping for some good things. ”

"You have to go and prepare the gift yourself, which one is this?" The long face ordered food from Xiao Er first, and then sat down, saying strangely.

"You're joking, it's Lord Zhongshu Lingfang."

"Alas! That's going to have to be careful," the long face looked envious, and the round face showed a little smugness, before continuing to ask: "But the banquet guests of the house really don't often hear about it, what's going on?" ”

The round face glanced around, leaned closer and said softly: "Haven't you heard, the mother and son who were lost during the Wude period have been found and returned, this is a major matter related to the future, how can it not be a feast." ”

"Yo, that's it!" As soon as the long face heard this, he came to his senses, "Speaking of which, Chang'an City has been lively recently, and there are a lot of big and small things, not to mention far away, didn't the case of the Fang and Lu families fall a few days ago, and then get closer, this morning, there is a bachelor's banquet in the Mist Pavilion this day, is Lord Zou interested in going and taking a look?" ”

"Really?" The round face was surprised at first, and then smiled bitterly, "You are still so well-informed, but how can I have the ability to get an invitation, so I should wait until after the banquet to hear about the excitement." ”

At this point, Xiao Er came over to put the porridge on the table, and the two of them concentrated on eating, Yiyu took his attention, raised his eyes to look at Lu Zhi, and didn't find anything wrong, so he lowered his head and continued to go to the fragrant porridge in the bowl.

After paying the silver, the three masters and servants wandered along this street, at this time the sunrise, the east of the city was dyed gold, and the shops had just opened, and it was rare to have this opportunity to go shopping quietly with Lu Zhi, and the jade was very cherished, and he was pulled into the store one by one, and he didn't buy anything, but he looked at it full, and the worries of the Lu family in the past two days faded a little.

Today's banquet was held in the morning, but because the guests arrived early, the brother and sister slipped around the same time, and when they took the invitation and entered the door, there were already many people in the hall of the Tianwei Pavilion that had been wrapped.

The hall on the first floor, one side faces the dark green lake fence, although there is no green willow on the shore, but the view is unobstructed and makes people feel comfortable. At this kind of banquet, how can there be less music, there is a pianist in the northwest corner, Zheng Zheng plucks the strings, its tone and its tune, Yu Yu can't distinguish it, but he feels that it is very appropriate, so he should not play it randomly.

There are no seats in the hall, all of them are half-height pear wood tables, calligraphy and paintings have not yet been served, they are all empty, and there is a wine couch on the side, with pots and cups.

The thirty or so people who had already arrived at the scene, after pouring themselves a glass of wine, gathered in groups of three or two, standing on the side of the fence or under the wall and whispering, all of them were fresh faces to Yi Yu, and she didn't know who the critics were and who were the exhibitors. Even Mr. Yu, who had a gift post "friendship", she only knew that he was an old man who was over the age of sixties, and she hurriedly glanced around when she entered the door, and she didn't find that there was such an old person, thinking about important people, maybe it was not time to appear on the stage.

At this time, the banquet has not yet started, Du Ruojin and Dr. Jin Qide, who invited them, did not see anyone, so she obediently followed behind Lu Zhi and went to greet the people he knew, the two brothers and sisters are rare at this banquet, needless to say, the youngest among them, not to mention Lu Zhi, the most popular among the young people recently, is that they don't know them, and they all know that this is the second protagonist of the "fighting for children and grandchildren" case that was in a uproar not long ago.

"Haha, I didn't expect to see Mr. Lu here, this is the second miss, she is really smart and clever, come, I will introduce you to you, this is Lord Huang, this is ......"

Conversations like this sounded three or four times, and the people in the room recognized most of them, looking at Lu Zhi who listened to people with a harmless smile, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart - I really don't know where he knew so many Zhang San and Li Si.

Just when she was bored with the appearance of Yu Shinan in her mind, she saw a figure walking towards them, at first glance, the cross-branch brocade robe with a green background really didn't let her recognize the person, but after walking a few steps closer, she was dazzled by the smile on the person's face, and she nodded with some surprise.

I didn't expect Du Ruojin to wear dark clothes, compared to the thinness when wearing light colors, this dark color is a little taller, but it still looks gentle, but the slight sickly look on his face, what's going on?

"Xiaoyu, Brother Lu, cough, cough, cough, I'm sorry, I drank two more glasses last night, and I made an old mistake when I got up early."

Lu Zhi said with concern: "Don't worry, right?" ”

"It's okay, I drank the medicine before I went out..."Du Ruojin, who was a little pale, clenched his fist to his lips, turned his head and coughed lightly, shook his head and smiled: "Look at me, I am sick at this time." ”

This sick and smiling appearance made Yi Yu suddenly remember that three years ago, the young Du Ruojin who was seen at the back door of the school dormitory manager was also so slightly sick, but with some spilling in it.

"If the cough doesn't stop, I've seen a few home remedies in a few miscellaneous books, so I'll find a pen and paper to write to you later." Knowing that she couldn't cure a disease for so many years, it might be superfluous for her to write a home remedies, but she still wanted to help a little.

Du Ruojin did not shirk, but nodded with a smile, "Then there will be work." ”

"You're welcome," Yi Yu looked at the people who were almost in the Qi hall, and asked, "Why didn't you see Dr. Jin?" ”

"It's early, and I'm supposed to talk to the academics upstairs." Du Ruojin replied.

"The bachelors are here early," Yi Yu was surprised and asked, "Does Brother Du know who will come over today?" "One of the things that makes people look forward to the Bachelor's Banquet is that before the feast, few people know which of the eighteen Bachelors will come.

Lu Zhidao: "You might as well just ask Mr. Yu if he will come." ”

"Look at what you said, it's like I came here specifically to see Mr. Yu." Yu Yu glanced at him.

"Isn't it?"

“...... Be. ”

"Hehe," Seeing that the brother and sister were talking interestingly, Du Ruojin couldn't help laughing, coughed twice, and then said to Yiyu: "Mr. Yu hasn't attended the bachelor's banquet for two years, and maybe he will come this time—ah, here." ”

As Du Ruojin's words fell, in the hall where the piano was staggered just now, there was only the sound of the piano, and everyone turned their heads to look at the stairs together, and saw five or six figures, which appeared there one after another.

Yi Yu recognized at a glance that one of the two people who was the leader was actually Li Ke, the king of Wu? (！ )
