The Concubine of Crossing

When Li Shilang arrived in the capital, it was like a drop of water falling into a pan of oil that had been boiling for a long time, causing the entire capital to shake violently in an instant.

Leaving aside Li Shilang's achievements this time, his noble and unusual background alone is the focus of heated discussions.

The grandson of Prime Minister Li!

Not to mention that Li Shilang is originally an orchid and jade tree, and he is romantic.

Many young girls watching cast aside their shyness and waved their hands enthusiastically, hoping to be favored, even if it is good to take it back to be a concubine, if they can have a son and a half daughter, then they will be rich and worry-free.

The women are so enthusiastic, and the men also join in the fun. As a result, the street that enters the city in Kyoto is completely surrounded.

Some people watched the excitement, some enthusiastically shouted Li Shilang's name, and some courageous little girls enthusiastically threw out handkerchiefs embroidered with their names, hoping to catch your attention.

That scene was already comparable to the number one scholar parading the streets.

Li Xiao and Luo Laibao stood in the crowd, looking through the crowd at Li Shilang, who was infinitely beautiful, and Luo Changtan, who stood behind Li Shilang, who was inconspicuous at all.

I don't know if Luo Changtan has received any news about Luo Shuiyi at this time. If he knows that he can stay beside Li Shilang so calmly, then this person's scheming is truly admirable.

It wasn't until the crowd disappeared that Li Xiao stretched out his hand and hooked Luo Laibao's shoulder, "Let's go."

Luo Laibao leaned into Li Xiao's arms, his eyes drooped slightly, and he hummed.

Then he glanced at Xiaodouzi casually, and Xiaodouzi backed away silently. The third son was still looking around excitedly. He touched his head, and immediately put the matter behind him.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Xiaodouzi quietly returned to Luo Laibao, and then told Luo Laibao the news he found out.

Luo Shuiyi is gone, today the girl lost her footing and fell into the water.

Luo Laibao raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of sarcasm.Sure enough, the relationship maintained by interests, when the interest is gone, not only is it no longer reliable, but it is also a reminder.

What a beauty Aunt Luo was in her previous life, even the wife of the main room was polite to her, and there were a lot of people to pick her up when she returned home.

That ostentation is not as good as that of ordinary young mistresses.

Luo Laibao still remembered that when she came to see him, she covered her nose with a disgusted expression on her face, and that kind of undisguised malice was still fresh in his memory.

Luo Laibao hummed lightly, "Where's my uncle? What's his expression?"

Xiaodouzi replied, "Luo Changqin couldn't see any joy or anger on his face when he went out, but I heard...the furniture at home has been replaced with a new batch."

So Luo Laibao smiled, his eyes were dark and bottomless, it seemed that he still cared, Luo Changtan, it's great that you cared.

Speaking of which, his uncle still has two sons. Well, the older one seems to have gone out to do business, but the younger one is sixteen this year, right?

Children of this age are the most impulsive.

Luo Laibao said, "Hey, my cousin passed away at a young age. Thinking about it, my cousin must be very sad. If a younger brother doesn't even know the truth about her sister's death, it's really unbearable." gone."

Xiaodouzi bowed and replied, "I'll find someone to tell Master Biao right away."

Luo Laibao nodded slightly, signaling Xiaodouzi to do this.

Today, with Xiaodouzi's ability, he doesn't have to worry about doing such a small thing.

It has been more than half a year since I came to this capital, and I am already familiar with everything that should be familiar, and it is time to do something.

Luo Laibao stood up, stretched his waist, and the corners of his mouth curled up in joy.

Outside the door, when Xiaodouzi was going out, he almost bumped into someone. The moment he looked up and saw the person coming, he almost jumped up in fright.

Li Xiao made a booing gesture, and then gestured a few more times, signaling him not to disturb the Luo Laibao inside.

Xiaodouzi stabilized his chaotic heartbeat and nodded.

But he was a little anxious in his heart, he was really careless, although he had already observed that there was no one around, but with the skill of the young lady, if he wanted to prevent him from noticing, he really couldn't detect it.

Xiaodouzi was full of anxiety. The young master always valued his image in front of the young lady, and when he did these things, he always carried the young lady behind his back.

But now the young lady listened to it.

Xiaodouzi couldn't help shivering, feeling that his good days might be coming to an end.

The two walked out the door, during which Xiaodouzi kept secretly looking at Li Xiao's face, as if he wanted to say something but dared not speak.

But until he walked out the door, Li Xiao still didn't say anything.

Li Xiao stopped walking, and Xiaodouzi quickly stopped, hesitating to explain something, but Li Xiao said, "Don't let him know."

When Li Xiao said this, his expression was very calm, as if he just heard some small talk just now.

Xiaodouzi glanced at Li Xiao's face cautiously, and the heart that was raised in his throat instantly fell back into his stomach.

Separated from Xiaodouzi, Li Xiao turned around, but the expression on his face sank a little bit.

Noble has been working so hard, but he can't do anything.

It's time for him to do something.

***

Money needs food. As a household doctor, he is usually very busy.

However, the past two years have been smooth for Gu Guo. Recently, Li Shilang added a sum to the treasury. His Majesty the Emperor is busy refining elixir. Apart from spending a lot of money every day, which makes him feel extra heartache, there is nothing that bothers him recently. matter.

So when it was a holiday, it was rare for him to go out for a stroll and drink a pot of tea by the way.

I heard that Xiaolai Restaurant recently launched peach blossom wine. Qian Yaoliang is not interested in these fancy wines, but he likes the warm spring wine and health wine very much.

Although it's not the season to drink warm spring wine, it can't be held back and sold in limited quantities. If you don't start stocking up now, it won't be easy to buy when the weather gets colder.

As for health wine, that is really a good thing. Many of his old friends are saying that drinking health wine is better than drinking any tonic.

Naturally, money and food also like it, but the price of health wine is too expensive, which makes him feel pain.

He hoarded three pots at home, all of which were honored to him by his subordinates.

If he was himself, he would definitely not buy it if he was killed.

As for the warm spring wine, the price is affordable and the effect is good, but there are too many people rushing to buy it every day, and his people went to the queue for several times but failed to buy it. He can only go to the restaurant by himself when he wants to drink. Take a chance.

Although he said he was not interested in the fancy new wines of Xiao Lai Restaurant, but with the Nuanchun Wine and Health-Preserving Wine pearls and jades in front of him, he could not help but have some expectations for Peach Blossom Wine from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, the biggest reason is that all kinds of new wines in this restaurant are not expensive. Whether you like it or not, it is worth trying something new.

Qian Yaoliang walked slowly to the street, and was about to reach Xiaolai Restaurant, when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes and wheels turning from behind.

There are many nobles in Kyoto, so the sound of such a carriage is not uncommon, and they didn't care about money and food at first.

It wasn't until the sound was getting closer and there was a commotion around him that the money and food realized that something was wrong, and when he turned around suddenly, he saw a frightened carriage rushing straight at him, and the driver yelled frantically, "Go away! Go away!"

People around who could run ran away, but Qian Yaoliang was too close, and he couldn't react in time to escape. When he turned around, the horse's hoof was almost on his head, and accompanied by What came with the horseshoe was an exquisite and luxurious carriage.

It was the first time Qian Yaoliang felt that death was so close to him, and many thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end there was only one thing that settled down: My life is over.

Just before the horse's hoof was about to step over him, a figure suddenly jumped out of the window of the restaurant.Qian Yaoliang only saw a flash of white, and then the high and rising horseshoe never fell on him again.

The surrounding world seemed to be still, Qian Yaoliang watched the figure appear in front of his eyes, then stretched out his hands, grabbed the jumping horse's hooves and feet, and pulled them down.

The horse neighed for a while, struggled a few times but couldn't get away, was pinned down on the ground unable to move, and cried out a few times, probably knowing that it couldn't struggle, and finally stopped moving.

It wasn't until this moment that Qian Yaoliang came to his senses, looked towards the direction of the carriage with lingering fear, and then saw the tall and straight young man in white standing in front of the horse.

Seeing that the horse had completely calmed down, Li Xiao let it go.

I don't know if I was overly frightened or accidentally hurt somewhere. The horse knelt on the ground and couldn't move for a long time. It was Li Xiao who helped the horse up, and just stood up and staggered. Reeling, Li Xiao hurriedly helped it stabilize, and the horse finally stood still.

The groom who had just been thrown hurried over to lead the horse, and after a while of reassurance, he finally stabilized.

At this time, two young men in brocade clothes stepped out of the carriage, one rubbing his waist and the other rubbing his head. Obviously the accident just now caused them to bump into each other badly in the carriage.

"Oh my waist..." Zhou Wenhan yelled and got out of the carriage, his eyes lit up when he saw Li Xiao, "So it's my sister-in-law!"

The other person was about to bow his hands to Li Xiao to thank him, when he heard this sentence, sister-in-law, he paused for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Li Xiao's chest, and after making sure there was nothing protruding, he looked at his throat again, and saw that it was indeed there. There was indeed an Adam's apple, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Li Xiao, "Thank you, brother, for your help. If it weren't for you, we might have fallen to our deaths."

Zhou Wenhan also nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, sister-in-law, if it weren't for you, we would have suffered a lot today! Sister-in-law, I just found out that your skills are so good today!" He said while looking at him with shining eyes.

Zhou Wenhan talked about his sister-in-law, making the people next to him turn their heads to look at him.Zhou Wenhan finally realized belatedly that before he had time to introduce the two of them, he was about to speak when he suddenly felt something was wrong. When he turned his head, he saw many people around him looking in their direction and pointing. , There was a lot of discussion.

Obviously, Li Xiaolu's hand just stunned them all, and they all looked at Li Xiao with shocked eyes.

"This is not a place to talk." Zhou Wenhan said with a smile, "Let's go and sit inside." He pointed to the restaurant next to him.

The young man next to him obviously agreed with his words, and smiled at Li Xiao, "Meeting is fate, I wonder if I can invite you to have a drink?"
