Chapter 20: A Feeling of Warmth

Walking into the city gate, the streets are full of traffic, and there are many shops on both sides, which is a prosperous scene.

Stepping on the gravel paved avenue, Li Xiangyu grinded the soles of his feet hard, and a natural sense of comfort came from under his feet, and the fatigue caused by days of rushing suddenly decreased a lot.

Lee Sang-woo stood comfortably in place, looking around with a novel gaze.

Cloth mills, oil mills, grain shops, restaurants, mules and horses......

All kinds of shops are much larger and more lively than those in Dai'an County.

After a while, everyone entered the city gate one after another.

Lu Liuliu shouted that he was going to the largest restaurant to wash the dust for a while, and his voice led the pedestrians to look at him curiously, and when he saw that it was a festive-looking young fat man, most of them smiled friendlyly, and rarely looked at the contemptuous expression of the buns.

Yan Xianyu and his entourage were obviously not interested, so they politely greeted them and left to the inn.

Li Xiangyu Lu Liuliu and others continued to move forward, and it took a while to come to the Lu family firm located in the west of the city, the guards greeted and handed over the goods busily, and a small house came out of the firm, leading Lu Liuliu and others to the courtyard behind the firm.

The courtyard doesn't look as good as the Lu family's compound in Dai'an County, but it's not small, and there are already two people waiting at the gate.

Seeing Lu Liuliu and others coming, the subordinates hurriedly greeted and saluted, Lu Liuliu waved his hand casually, and led Li Xiangyu Qiuzhu and the little monk Yongjie into the courtyard.

There were already maids waiting in the yard, making a blessing and leading a few people inside. Along the way, I saw that the courtyard was getting deeper, there were many rockeries and flat grass along the road, the flowers and branches were shallow water, the scenery was quite clean and elegant, and I met some maids and servants along the road, and when I saw someone coming, I stopped my hand movements and saluted softly, and there was no chaos at all.

Walking more and more, and finally walked to the inner courtyard, Li Xiangyu couldn't help but marvel at the spaciousness of this courtyard, and then remembered the Lu family compound in Dai'an, which was really wealthy.

After entering the backyard, Lu Liuliu sat on the Taishi chair with his back on his back, and then beckoned Li Xiangyu to sit at will.

Li Xiangyu couldn't learn from Lu Liuliu, so he smiled and found a chair to sit down, and after a while, two maids came in with copper basins, half-squatted and saluted, and served the two to wash their faces.

Waiting for the maid to go down, Lu Liuliu smiled and said: "Cousin, I'm really tired for my brother, why don't you eat casually at home first, and then find the largest restaurant to wash the dust in the evening?"

Li Xiangyu also felt a little tired, and when he heard Lu Liuliu's words, he agreed.

The maids next to them led Qiuzhu and Yongjie to say goodbye, and after a while, the maids served more than a dozen dishes one after another.

The dishes are quite exquisite, and Lu Liuliu Li Xiangyu has not eaten delicious meals for two or three days, and he has a great appetite.

After eating, a maid led Li Xiangyu to the guest room that had been prepared long ago to rest.

Lying on the bed, Li Xiangyu had mixed thoughts, thinking of his family in Dai'an, imagining the appearance of the Gongyuan for a while, and he was really tired, and he fell asleep in a daze after a while.

......

......

Lee Sang-woo was woken up by Lu Liuliu.

I sat up in a daze, and it was already dark outside. Lu Liuliu was waiting to go to the restaurant with him for dinner.

After a brief cleanup, Li Xiangyu followed Lu Liuliu out of the door.

Although it was getting late, there were no fewer pedestrians on the street, and the carriage soon came to a lively place, when it was time for dinner, and the restaurants on both sides of the road opened their doors to welcome customers, and the shouts accompanied by the aroma of food came in through the curtains, which made people have a great appetite.

The next person trotted to the restaurant to book a private room, but after a while, he ran back with a bitter face, and the private room was already fully booked.

Lu Liuliu was a little unhappy, glared at his subordinates and said, "Add money and let the boss equalize." ”

The subordinate nodded and was just about to leave, Li Xiangyu smiled and said: "Don't go, let's just eat in the hall, there are more people and it will be more lively." Just listen to the Jinan Mansion in other people's mouths. ”

Hearing this, Lu Liuliu's eyes lit up, and it was not bad to be lively, so he called out to the people to get out of the carriage.

Entering the restaurant, it was really very lively, and there were seven or seven eight seats in the wide hall. A guy greeted him with a smile.

"Two masters, please inside. ”

Lu Liuliu was very satisfied with the man's attitude, took out a small piece of broken silver and threw it to the man, "Reward you, find a clean table for the master." ”

After taking the silver, the young man was even more attentive, led the two to an empty table, took off the towel on his shoulder and wiped the table and chair exaggeratedly, "Two masters, please sit!"

The two sat down, and Lu Liuliu, who was the east, said with a look of not bad money: "Pick your best dishes, and serve the best wine." ”

The guy smiled and made tea, trotted away.

Li Xiangyu, who has long been accustomed to Lu Liuliu's style, did not speak, and looked at the diners around him with a smile.

Directly opposite the table of three people are all dressed as literati, looking at the dishes on the table, it seems that they have been here for a while, and at this time one of them is talking endlessly, "I heard that there is another war in Liangzhou, and the king of the Southern Courtyard of Beimang personally led an army of 300,000 to fight Liangzhou, and we don't know if we can hold it." ”

"It's also strange to say, in previous years, Beimang only went south after the beginning of autumn, why did he start to start at the beginning of spring this year? Alas, you said that this Liangzhou fights wars every year, when is it the head?"

The companion who spoke shook his head, "This Liangzhou is so far away from us, who knows what the situation is?" But I heard that this Beimang is now a woman in charge, what is the name of Empress Yelu or Empress Wanyan. ”

"Women in charge......?"

Li Xiangyu was listening attentively, and suddenly felt that someone was gently stabbing him, and when he turned his head, he saw that he was a half-grown young man with a thin body and an obscene appearance.

Li Xiangyu asked: "Is there something wrong with Brother Tai?"

The obscene-looking half-grown young man looked around mysteriously, and then turned to Li Xiangyu like a thief, lifted his coat and asked Li Xiangyu and Lu Liuliu in a low voice: "Do the two sons want a picture? Tang Jieyuan's true handiwork!"

What leaked out of the arms of the obscene young man was a picture scroll of small size, and before Li Xiangyu could react, Lu Liuliu poked his head over and asked excitedly, "Is it really Tang Jieyuan's handwriting?"

The lewd young man nodded mysteriously, "It's definitely genuine, and it's leaked recently!"

Lu Liuliu was even more excited, and couldn't wait to say, "Take it and take a look!"

Who knew that the lewd young man shook his head, "What if you don't buy it?"

"You won't let me see how I know if it's true or not?"

Li Xiangyu listened to the conversation between the two in confusion, just buying a picture, what is it so mysterious?

"yes, why don't you let us see how to buy it first?"

Hearing this, the obscene young man was stunned for a moment, and felt that what the two said was indeed reasonable, so he looked around more carefully, and when he found that no one was paying attention to his side, he carefully took out the picture scroll from his arms and unfolded a small corner.

Lee Sang-woo looked at it with a smile...... Then his face turned very wonderful.

On the small corner that leaked out of the scroll was a woman with her upper body exposed, but her lower body was not unfolded.

Li Xiangyu suddenly realized, and when he looked at this obscene young man again, he felt very cordial, and this scene made Li Xiangyu feel very familiar, very warm, and very moved.

He raised his head and asked the lewd young man tenderly, "Is it infantry or cavalry?"
