catch the rabbit

It is said that when Jiang Tiaotiao and Huang Cai were away, a very special guest came to Yueran.

There were few people in the restaurant that day, A Ling was leaning on the counter and dozing off lazily, when there was a crisp sound in his ear, which almost made him jump up.

Someone held a silver coin in front of him.

The ingot of silver was at least ten taels, and it would have been dazzled by others, but Ah Ling is a fairy, and these things are no different from mud and stones to him.

"What kind of wine does the guest officer want?" A Ling rubbed her eyes, and couldn't help but opened her mouth and yawned while speaking.

The way of yawning in front of others is not good-looking to anyone, and it seems impolite, and the expression of the person opposite is suddenly unhappy.

"It's okay, don't put on such a face, don't scare others." Shi Shiran came up from behind, waving a fan. He was dressed in a purple brocade and silver robe with complicated patterns, and there was a big cat's eye on the hand holding the fan. Treasure Ring, full of wealth and honor, is even more ostentatious than Huangcai.Seeing that he is only in his twenties, with a fair and handsome appearance, he must be the son of a wealthy family.

"My little brother, isn't your shopkeeper here today?"

While talking, he looked A Ling up and down, his eyes were indescribably strange, and A Ling's scalp was numb.

"It just happened to go out, the guest officer has something to do with him?"

Ah Ling was puzzled, but saw the man shaking his head and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's so easy to come this time, it's better if we don't see it."

He muttered to himself while pacing with his hands behind his back. When he turned around, the man dressed as an entourage had already moved a chair from the side and put it away.

"Then I'll just wait for him to come back."

The young man in purple raised his eyes and smiled at Ah Ling.

A Ling was baffled by his laughter, and when he was about to ask him what was the matter again, Yan Pu came down from upstairs.

He should have just woken up, his clothes were loose, his long hair was tied casually, and a strand of it was curled around his neck.

It was nothing at all, but it happened that he saw that Jiang Tiaotiao and the others were not there, so he walked over and asked.

"A Ling, haven't Tiao Tiao and Huang Cai come back yet?"

Rouge is the essence of peach blossoms, neither a girl nor a boy, her voice is soft and waxy, but at the moment it is childish in a daze, it sounds very cute.

The young man in purple's eyes lit up immediately, and the smile on his lips deepened: "This is not bad, either."

He waved his hand, and the entourage behind him presented another ingot of silver.

"Bring your best and most expensive wine, I want him—" His fan pointed at his rouge, "Drink with me."

A Ling clicked her tongue when she heard the words: "Guest officer, this is a restaurant, not a brothel."

The young man in purple said: "So what? You can make a price."

Yan Pu didn't know much about the affairs of the world, but she could understand that what he said was not a good thing, and her face turned red with anger.

"Why, you don't want to?"

The young man in purple stood up as he spoke, and stretched out his hands to pinch his rouge cheeks.

"Do you know who I am? There are many people in the capital who are crying and wanting to drink with me. You should be happy that I have a crush on you."

Yan Pu had never been bullied like this before, and when she realized it, she was almost embraced by him.

"It is said that the shopkeeper of Yueranju is a great beauty. I think this is a rumor. No matter how beautiful he is, he can be half as good-looking as you?"

The rascal pinched his face as he spoke, and smiled abhorrently.

At this time, Xiaolan and Baoxiu just came out of the kitchen, and they both dropped their jaws in shock when they saw this scene.

"Who is this person?" Xiao Lan asked.

"This is molesting..." Baoxiu said.

The two looked at each other, and then rushed forward together, pulling them away before Yanpu got angry.

After all, Baoxiu was the calmest one, and when she turned her head, she put on a harmless smile: "Guest officer has something to say, don't do anything."

The young man in purple said: "I just want him to drink with me, why not?"

Baoxiu said: "Young master, if you want to find someone to accompany you, you should go to Yicuilou Tianxiangfang on Xile Street. We are just a wine shop."

"I need you to teach me where I'm going?" He raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on Yanpu again, "Besides, I just want to make friends with him."

The more he spoke, the more outrageous he became, as if he deliberately caused trouble, and Baoxiu and the others didn't know how to deal with it for a while.When he was in a difficult situation, the attendant came up and whispered a few words in the ear of the young man in purple, as if to persuade him to leave.

"Disappointing."

He muttered, stared at Roupu for a while, said "there will be a period later" and left like that, didn't take a sip of the wine, and didn't ask for the money back.

"What a weird person." Seeing him leaving, Ah Ling wrinkled her nose and said, "Although Roupu is not a man, he is not a girl either. No matter how he looks at it, his eyes are about to fall off."

"It's true that our Rouge is good-looking," Xiao Lan said, "but it's not just for people to see."

As she spoke, she straightened Rouge's collar: "Why did you mess with such a dude?"

Rouge aggrieved: "How would I know."

Baoxiu stretched out her fingers to poke his blushing face: "There are too many such unreasonable prodigal sons in the capital, next time you see them, just stay away."

They thought it was over like this, and they didn't mention it to Jiang Tiaotiao. In addition, Huang Cai finally came back from Caiqiong Palace, and they completely forgot about this weird young man in purple.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Cheng Ju invited Jiang Tiaotiao and Huang Cai to drink tea at Zizaiguan, and when there were only A Ling and the others left in the restaurant, this "unreasonable prodigal son" came again.

This time, he didn't dress as richly as he did last time, and he didn't bring that vicious entourage, but what happened was much more serious than last time.

***

As the beloved second disciple of the well-known master Xu Yao, and the current No. [-] magician in the capital, Cheng Ju can be said to be a success at a young age, a generation of outstanding talents.

It's a pity that he got acquainted with Huang Cai and Jiang Tiaotiao, a fairy and a monster by chance, and he was destined to never even drink a cup of tea in this life.

After A Ling ran out of breath and couldn't speak, and could only spit out keywords such as "rouge", "rich man" and "killed", Jiang Tiaotiao and Huang Cai left the tea he had just made without saying a word. He ran back to Yueranju.

Cheng Ju was so angry that his teeth itch, but he really had no other choice but to go with them.

Ah Ling is in such a hurry, something must have happened.

When I went back, I found that Baoxiu had already closed early, and there were only a few of them in the big restaurant. The lights were not even lit, and it was dark and gloomy.

Yan Pu sat in the middle, with two tear marks on his face, looking extremely sad.

"What's the matter, why are you crying?" Huang Cai asked.

"We are still here for the big things, Yanpu, don't cry." Jiang Tiaotiao also said softly.

Yan Pu looked up at them, choked up and said, "I... I seem to have killed someone."

As soon as he said this, Cheng Ju staggered in fright.

"kill!?"

"Bah bah bah, Yanpu, don't curse him, that man is not dead yet!" Baoxiu said.

"He's still lying upstairs, go and have a look." Xiao Lan also looked shocked, even her voice was trembling.

A group of people rushed to the rouge room upstairs, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a person lying on the bed with a pool of blood on his forehead, which had already congealed.

"Who is this?" Huang Cai walked over to sniff his breath, checked the wound again, and was obviously relieved, "The person is still alive, and the wound is not deep, so he can't die."

"I, I just pushed him, I really didn't expect him to knock on the shelf..." Yanpu began to sob softly as she spoke.

"Why did you push him?" Jiang Tiaotiao asked.

"He...he..." Rouge's originally rosy face was as red as rouge, "He kissed me and even lifted my clothes."

"What!?" Huang Cai said angrily, "Where did this shameless little bastard come from!?"

At this time Cheng Ju also came over, looked carefully at the man's face, then looked at the jade pendant tied around his waist, and said with a sneer, "So it was him, no wonder no wonder."

"Do you recognize him?" A Ling asked.

"Why don't you recognize him? This person's surname is Li, and he can read only one name. He is the youngest son of the prime minister. He is one of the best dudes in the capital. He is a pervert who wants to hug a beauty when he sees a beauty," Cheng Ju said, " With such an identity, it is natural to be arrogant."

Baoxiu and the others gasped when they heard this.

"I only know that this must be a rich son, but I didn't expect it to be so big in the end!"

Cheng Ju leaned down and pulled Li Zheng's eyelids, and said, "I forgot to mention, he is still the accompanying reader of the crown prince. Fortunately, you didn't bury him, otherwise it would be really hard to deal with."

"Now the situation is hard enough to deal with. We dare not touch him, for fear that he will wake up and go to the government to sue us." A Ling said with a bitter face.

"It's really useless." Cheng Ju said, "You're still a fairy thanks to you."

"What are you afraid of? I'll cast a spell to erase his memory." Huang Cai said as he rolled up his sleeves, but was stopped by Cheng Ju.

"Stop messing around, it's even worse if something goes wrong."

"Then what should I do..." Yanpu was so anxious that tears fell down, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have pushed him..."

Everyone stared wide-eyed. Although they were either immortals or demons, their identities in the mortal world were just ordinary people. What's more, they had indeed done something wrong now, so they couldn't just leave Yueranju and walk away.

At this time, Cheng Ju showed the courage of the number one magician in the capital. He sneered twice, and took out a small knife with a silver handle from his sleeve: "Don't be afraid, cut off his tongue, if he can't speak I won't report to the police anymore."

While speaking, the knife flashed a cold light, and made a gesture to cut it down.

Li Den on the bed sat up with a "chuckle", which startled the others.

"Although my father and your master have always been at odds, you don't have to treat me like this."

"I don't want to scare you, how can you be willing to do it?" Cheng Ju said, putting away the knife, "I never play around in circles, so it doesn't matter what you want."

"Cheer up!" Li Ding clapped his palms and laughed, but the wound on his forehead was affected and he gasped in pain.

"There are too many people in this room, I feel dizzy looking at it." He covered his forehead and leaned on the soft pillow, acting like an annoying young master.

Baoxiu and the others retreated knowingly, Yanpu wanted to leave but dared not, while Jiang Tiaotiao and Huangcai stood aside calmly.

Li Jian changed his posture and leaned against him, and smiled at Yanpu: "What's your name?"

Yan Pu timidly said: "Yan Pu."

"Oh." He nodded and asked again, "Are you a demon?"

Rouge's eyes widened: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"My nemesis, Xi Boqing, is a guest at the prime minister's mansion. This kid has probably seen more monsters than me. Maybe there was one lying on the bed last night. What's so scary." Cheng Ju interjected.

"It doesn't matter whether you are a demon or a human being, you injured my head and disfigured my handsome and unparalleled son, what do you think should I do?" Li Zheng said.

Yanpu showed that embarrassing and apologetic expression again, and it took a long time before she said: "How about... I let you smash it too?"

Li Jian shook his head and said, "Then I can't bear it. Why don't you let me sleep once?"

"If you speak rudely again, I will kill you." Huang Cai said angrily.

Jiang Tiaotiao shielded Yanpu behind him, also with an unhappy expression on his face: "You can do whatever else you want, but you are not allowed to touch Yanpu again."

Li Zeng laughed: "In that case, let's change the condition."

He hooked his fingers towards Roupu, and after calling him to his side, he didn't know what to say in his ear.

Yan Pu didn't show surprise or anger after hearing this, it seems that the condition is not too unreasonable.

After Li Ding finished speaking, he took the opportunity to stroke his hair again, which startled him.

Seeing this, the wicked young master laughed loudly: "Are you really a monster? Why are you so timid!"

Cheng Ju said coldly: "Have you played enough? Get up when you have played enough, and I will take you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

He covered the wound with his sleeve, and finally got up from the bed. He had already walked to the door, but suddenly he turned around and ran back, stuffing something into Roupu's hand.

"Little monster, this is for you."

He smiled and bent his red phoenix eyes, and he didn't look so annoying at the moment.

"I'll come back next time, don't forget me."
