The middle-aged man shook off the sleeve of his shirt that was grabbed by the scholar and said, "Have you ever seen a jade match when you are old?"

This piece of jade has an average texture, it is not carved by a master, and the pattern is not distinctive, and the key is only half a piece. It's worth one hundred and fifty taels, who are you fooling?"

Liu Yu's heart tightened when she heard the shopkeeper say half a piece of jade, and she pretended not to care, and stepped forward to say to the scholar, "Can you show me the jade pair?"

The two who were arguing stopped to look at Liu Yu, who nodded to the two.

Then he repeated to the scholar and said, "Can you show me? If I like this piece of jade, I will give you one hundred and fifty taels of silver." ”

"Really?" Liu Yu's words made the scholar's eyes light up, and he immediately took out the jade from his arms and handed it to Liu Yu.

When Liu Yu saw the jade match in the scholar's hand, he knew at a glance that it was the same as the half of the jade match he put in the space, but in a different direction.

Liu Yu endured the excitement in her heart, carefully picked up the half of the jade match, and rubbed the jade match with her thumb. Seeing that the people around her were looking at her, Liu Yu held the jade match in the palm of her hand to block the eyes of the people around her.

Then he said to the scholar: "I have taken a fancy to this half of the jade, and there is no problem with one hundred and fifty taels of silver." But ......"

The scholar and the shopkeeper were relieved when they heard Liu Yu say that they liked the jade match.

I didn't want Liu Yu to come again, but it made the two of them nervous, especially the scholars, who were even more nervous, for fear of any accidents.

But I had to bite the bullet and ask Liu Yu: "My lord, if you have any questions, please say." ”

Liu Yu held the jade match behind his back and said, "Where did you get this jade match?" After answering this question, I will give you the silver. ”

The scholar was originally a little hesitant, after all, his half of the jade match was obtained by dishonorable means. But when I heard Liu Yu say, as long as he answered this question, he would give him silver, and he didn't care about anything else.

Then he opened his mouth and said, "This half of the jade match was won by a student and a classmate." After saying that, the roots of his ears were a little red.

"What's the name of the classmate you bet on, and he can come to the capital to take the college exam?" Liu then asked.

The scholar tightened the items in his arms and did not answer, but looked at Liu Yu vigilantly and said, "You said that you would give me silver after answering a question." ”

Liu Yu was anxious to know the owner of this half piece of jade, so he hurriedly took out a silver ticket from his cuff, took out two hundred taels from it, held it in his hand, and said, "Here are two hundred taels of silver, you tell me who the original owner of this half piece of jade is?" I will give you all these two hundred taels." ”

When the scholar heard that there were two hundred taels of silver, he lost his previous caution, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Hui, this jade match is a classmate named Zhou Mingyuan."

Because his family was too poor and his grandfather was sick, he did not take this year's college examination because he did not go to Beijing to catch the exam. ”

"Oh, I know, the two hundred taels of silver are yours, take it!" Liu Yu handed the silver ticket in his hand to the book and left.

Just as he was about to get into the carriage to take a closer look at the jade match, not wanting to be stopped by a voice, Liu Yu quickly put the jade match into the space through the cover of his sleeve.

Then she turned around and saw Li Hengyao standing not far from her, Liu Yu stopped getting into the carriage, put down the clothes she had lifted, and said to the coachman, "You go back to the house first!"

After the coachman drove the carriage away, Liu Yu walked up to Li Hengyao and said, "Brother Li, why are you here today?"

"I just got off duty, and I was going to go to the tavern to get a pot of wine and go back, and I happened to see Brother Xian here, and I wanted to catch up with Brother Xian. Li Hengyao said to Liu Yu with a smile.

Li Hengyao actually didn't understand that since he hugged Liu Yu, who was seriously injured from Henan, half a year ago, he always unconsciously remembered Liu Yu's face.

There are pale faces after being injured, there are also smiles on the corners of their mouths when they are happy, and there are also expressionless expressions when they are calm.

In short, I often think of this Liu Yu, who is younger than him but has a higher official position than him. Even dreaming about it.

Today too, seeing a large group of people gathered here, when he stepped forward and saw Liu Yu here, Li Hengyao found that he couldn't move his legs.

deliberately made an excuse to approach her. When I actually saw it, I was both happy and nervous.

Li Hengyao always thought that he was sick, and went to see the doctor, even the imperial doctor, and there was nothing wrong with his health, and even because of his martial arts practice, he was healthier than ordinary people.

Since the doctor had seen it and was not sick, Li Hengyao put it aside and stopped caring about it.

Because Liu Yu was transferred to the Baoyi Guardhouse, he and Li Hengyao were not patrolling in the same palace.

In addition, the time on duty and Liu Yu's time on duty are also inconsistent, so the two have not seen each other for more than half a year.

Li Hengyao left early today, and happened to meet Liu Yu on the street, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her and invited her to go to the tavern to drink together.

Liu Yu hasn't seen Li Hengyao for a long time, both of them are Han Chinese, they both work as guards in the palace, and their personalities and hobbies are relatively close, so Liu Yu has a good impression of Li Hengyao.

The two rarely met, and after going to the tavern, they chatted about the situation in the past six months while drinking.

Li Hengyao said to Liu Yu: "Pay attention when you enter the palace recently, something bad may happen recently?"

Li Hengyao's words made Liu Yu a little strange, the bad things should have nothing to do with himself! But since Brother Li has told him, let's pay more attention!

Although he was determined to pay attention, Liu Yu was most curious about what bad things would happen in the palace recently?

So he opened his mouth and asked Li Hengyao: "Brother Li, can you tell me more details?"

Li Hengyao poured himself a glass of wine, then looked left and right, and finally slowly approached Liu Yu's ear and said, "I heard that the queen's little brother is not very good."

The emperor invited the head of the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Physician Huang, to Kunning Palace, but the little brother still did not make any improvement, and he was still lying in bed unconscious.

Therefore, be careful when entering the palace recently, so as not to touch the emperor's mold. ”

"Got it, thank you Brother Li for telling me!" Liu Yu bowed his hand to Li Hengyao and thanked him!

"Brother Xian, why are you so polite, come! As he spoke, he poured Liu Yu another glass.

Liu Yu smiled and accepted the punishment, picked up the wine glass without hesitation, and drank the wine in the glass cleanly.

Seeing that Liu Yu drank the whole glass of wine in one go, Li Hengyao said loudly: "Okay, good brother." ”

Then he poured Liu Yu another glass, and the two of them would talk and drink at the same time. Soon, a pot will be in the end.

Li Hengyao saw that there was no wine in the pot, and felt that a pot was too little, and he hadn't drunk it yet, so he hurriedly asked the store to serve another pot.

The shopkeeper quickly served another pot to the two of them, and also gave them a plate of side dishes.

By the time the two pots of wine were finished, Liu Yu was already a little drunk. Li Hengyao saw that Liu Yu was already shaking when she walked, so he didn't worry about her going back alone, so he asked the store to call a carriage.

After Li Hengyao helped Liu Yu into the carriage, he also got into the carriage. He had to send Liu Yu home to rest assured.

On the carriage, Li Hengyao was afraid that Liu Yu would hit his head, so he leaned Liu Yu on him, and the woman's unique aroma swirled around his nose, and Li Hengyao, who was not drunk, was also a little dizzy at this time.

But he was reluctant to let Liu Yu go, and quietly wrapped his hand around Liu Yu's shoulder, leaned Liu Yu's head on his shoulder, and the two of them hugged each other tightly.
