After working like this for a while, in the blink of an eye it was April [-]th, Lu Changhe's birthday.

Unlike previous years, Lu Changhe did not hold a big birthday party, but directly made an appointment with Lian Mu, and the two went out for a whole day.

Lian Mu knew that after getting married, he had been busy with official duties and neglected Lu Changhe, so he started preparing this birthday gift early.

However, just before departure, he froze in place.

Lu Changhe, who was dressed as a man, suddenly appeared in front of his eyes!

Lu Chang smiled and said: "When you wear women's clothes on weekdays, there are always too many restraints in your behavior. Since the two of us go out, we naturally do whatever is comfortable."

He asked again as if joking: "What's wrong? Are you not used to it, or do you not like it?"

This reminded Lian Mu of seeing the picture before, and his doubts became stronger, but he still shook his head and said, "No, you are dressed like this...it's very suitable. Since it's your birthday, where do you want to go?"

After finally waiting for the opportunity to go out with Lian Mu, of course Lu Changhe wanted to cultivate the relationship between the two of them.

He brought Lian Mu to the largest entertainment district in central Beijing. Looking around, there were all kinds of people from all walks of life, such as juggling, cockfighting and cricket fighting, or bartering.There is a mixed bag of fish and dragons here, and people like petty theft and hooligans are not uncommon.

In short, this is a good place he has carefully selected to stage a hero saving the beauty.

With the two of them's well-dressed and boldness, it only took a moment to attract the attention of interested people.When everyone applauded for the juggling performance, Lu Chang touched Kong Luoluo's waist to make sure that the money bag hanging around his waist was gone.

He put away the joy written all over his face, put on an innocent expression and said to the people around him: "Lian Mu, my money bag was stolen!"

Hearing this, Lian Mu hurriedly looked around the crowd, and sure enough, he saw a thin man crouching down and trying to squeeze out of the crowd.After thinking for a while, he came to Lu Changhe's ear.

"Hush. Don't startle the snake, hold on to my hand, before the thief notices, we will follow."

After finishing speaking, Lian Mu stretched out his palm, held Lu Changhe's hand tightly, protected him behind him, and chased in the direction of the thief.

After a while, Lian Mu saw the thief pushing out of the crowd, he turned his head to weigh the heavy money bag, and glanced at the crowd.But he didn't want to, and with this glance, he and Lian Mu looked at each other.

not good!The thief grabbed the purse in his hand, turned his head and ran wildly.

Lian Mu obviously understood that the thieves had seen them chasing them, so he tightened Lu Changhe's hand and accelerated to squeeze out of the crowd.

The two chased after the thief's back and ran in the workshop.

The thieves were already familiar with the terrain and easily led them into a dead-end alley.While the two were looking at each other, the thief pushed a bundle of bamboo poles behind them and took the opportunity to run towards the exit of the alley.

Hearing the sound behind him, even Mu Xiang didn't want to hug Lu Changhe, and used his body as a protection to surround him against the wall.

The bamboo pole knocked on Lian Mu's back, Lu Chang pushed the bamboo pole away from Lian Mu's back, and shouted in a low voice, "Catch him back!"

If he hadn't ordered Si Mao and Liu Mao not to show up until he called for them in advance, Lian Mu wouldn't have been injured, and Lu Chang felt tormented.

The thief just ran out of the alley, thinking happily, "Once we open today, we won't have to worry about it for the next few days", but the next moment, he was beaten and lay on the ground, unable to move.

The purse also fell and rolled over to the two pairs of boots.

Lu Chang stooped to pick up the purse, patted off the dust on it, and said to Lian Mu: "Look, I found it. Leave him alone, let's go to the hospital immediately."

Lian Mu shook his head and said with a smile: "Although I'm a scholar, I'm not so weak. It's just a couple of touches, so I don't need to see a doctor."

"However", he put away his smile, changed the topic, and said to the other two, "Since you have been following, why are you so late?"

Simao and Liumao had troubles that they couldn't tell, not because they didn't want to make an early move, but because Lu Changhe had specially ordered them before they set off.

Lu Chang let out a dry cough, and hurriedly stood up to appease Lian Mu: "It's all because I said that I want to come out and have fun, so keep them away, and don't show up, so the accident happened."

Lian Mu frowned, and said to the two in a deep voice, "If there is another time, you don't have to come see us."

Si Mao and Liu Mao saw Lian Mu angry for the first time, but they didn't expect the scholar's sullen face to be even more terrifying.

They bowed their heads and said "yes", Si Mao escorted the thief away, and Liu Mao hid again.

Walking out of the alley, Lu Changhe couldn't help but persuade Lian Mu to go to the medical clinic, and was overheard by a market stall owner.This rough and capable barbarian came over to sell his ointment.

"The two young masters need ointment for bruises, right? I have an ancestral formula from my hometown here, and a few pastes will be kept alive and alive!"

Lian Mu took advantage of the situation and pulled Lu Changhe to sit down, explaining that he was hit by a bamboo pole, and the stall owner wanted to see the wound.

Lu Changhe helped to lift his clothes, allowing the stall owner to see the little half of his back.

Seeing the red marks on his back clearly, he pressed four times and didn't see Lian Mu screaming in pain, so he said, "Fortunately, the bamboo pole that hit him was no thicker than an arm. I'll take the six doses of medicine, and within three days he'll be fine." good!"

Afterwards, the stall owner cheerfully poured them two glasses of white wine.

He enthusiastically said: "This is the kumiss from my hometown. Wait a moment, you two, I'll get the ointment." After speaking, he walked into the room.

After chasing the thief all the way, the two of them were already thirsty, and now they thanked the stall owner and started drinking.

The wine has a faint milky fragrance, with a touch of sweetness in the mouth, followed by sour and spicy tastes, and it flows into the throat with warmth like jade, with endless aftertaste.

After a while, the stall owner came out with the ointment.

While he was helping Lian Mu put on the plaster, Lu Chang thanked him and said, "Thank you for the hospitality. The wine from your hometown tastes very good and is very unique!"

What responded to him was a proud laugh: "Haha, that is, only the grasslands in Saibei can grow our wine!"

In the past, not all customers liked the taste of their hometown. The stall owner was also very happy to see the two empty glasses. He insisted that the two of them take a jug of wine away.

The two couldn't refuse, so they left more money before leaving the booth.

When they walked out of Fangshi, it was only a quarter of an hour before the end of noon, and the two decided to have lunch.

After eating, Lian Mu was surprised when he heard the bill.After he paid the bill, he stuffed Xiaoer with a piece of silver and asked, "How come the price of food has increased so much in just a month?"

Xiaoer took the broken silver and explained: "Oh! The two guests can also feel that this year is much hotter than previous years, and the rain only fell for a while. No matter whether it is vegetables or melons, the fields are Without water, there is no food for livestock. There are fewer and fewer vegetables, so the price of vegetables is going up."

He sighed as he walked, "Hey, if it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid even food will become a problem after a while!"

Hearing this, Lian Mu fell into deep thought, and Lu Changhe was also reminded by the system of the upcoming major plot.

The system excitedly reminded: [There will be a drought next, this is the most critical plot in this world!The protagonist will be sent to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, and the fourth prince will be made a prince afterward.So, host, how is your mission going? 】

These words were undoubtedly a slap in the face of Lu Changhe, and the questioning tone of the system obviously believed that his mission had stagnated.

Lu Chang sighed: [I'm called thick and thin, understand?It won't be long before I will confess my life to Lian Mu, and he who loves me deeply will of course choose to forgive me.Then in the end we flew far away and traveled in mountains and rivers, and of course both of us can save our lives! 】

System: [Hehe, I hope so. 】

The two were thinking about each other, but there were obviously more important things ahead of them. Where should they go in the afternoon?

In view of Lian Mu's injury caused by the morning's plan, Lu Chang sighed and looked around, pointing to the Yuyin Building not far away.This is the most famous theater in Beijing, many dignitaries, especially wives and ladies would come here to listen to two songs in their spare time.

There was still a moment before the afternoon show started, and the two chose an upstairs compartment, while Si Mao and Liu Mao stayed in the right compartment.

After waiting for a while, the curtain in front of the stage opened and the play began.

The two people who had no interest in listening to operas actually listened to the opera for an afternoon with each other seriously.By the time the play was over, the sky had also dimmed.

They were about to go out, but they saw the listener in the left compartment staggering down the stairs with a wine jug.The boy cleaning up at the side leaned over to support him, obviously knowing where he was going.

Lian Mu watched him go downstairs and disappeared from sight, and said softly, "That's Lin Maoxun."

Before the words fell, there was a commotion in the hall downstairs, and the spectators left quickly.Then a group of people came in, the leader was the Second Princess Lu Changming.

Her face was expressionless and she didn't say a word, only her urgent steps showed her current emotions.

Lu Changhe just remembered that Lin Maoxun is the second son-in-law.It was rumored that he fell in love with the second princess at first sight, and would not marry unless she was the only one. Fortunately, he finally moved the second princess and the emperor.

It is said that after the two got married, they raised eyebrows together, harped and sang, and the second princess became the envy of countless young girls in Beijing.

Is the fact as true as the rumors?

of course not.

Lian Mu obviously sensed something, and asked Liu Mao to follow, while Lu Changhe waited for Liu Mao to come back with a mentality of eating melons.

After a cup of tea, Lu Changhe and the others saw the second princess come out first, and Lin Maoxun behind was carried in the middle by two attendants, and he was still holding the flagon tightly in his hand.

When the group of them walked out of the gate and left in a group of carriages, Liu Mao also came back quietly.

It turned out that Lin Maoxun came backstage just now to find an actor who had just finished acting. The two should be old acquaintances, and Lin Maoxun even helped her take off her hair.

At this moment, the second princess came in, and the attendants behind her directly stepped forward and dragged the actor, while the second princess snatched the pearl hairpin from Lin Maoxun's hand.

She walked up to the actor step by step, and despite crying and begging for mercy, she scratched the actor's entire face with a pearl hairpin, and then walked out.

After hearing the whole story, Lian Mu frowned: "Did Lin Maoxun not speak?"

Liu Mao replied: "No, he didn't say a word, but laughed a few times after the second princess cut the actor's face."

Lu Changming explained: "It's true that Lin Maoxun liked Lu Changming back then, but... Anyway, now Lin Maoxun just wants to get out of Lu Changming's control, and how could Lu Changming let him leave his side, so, today It’s not surprising that this came out.”

After listening to his explanation, Lian Mu nodded, it turned out that there were such secrets among them.

Thinking it was almost time, Lian Mu said: "Today is your birthday, don't talk about these unimportant people, go!"

Afterwards, Lu Changhe was brought to the Xingling River by Lian Mu, and the two of them took Si Mao and Liu Mao to a painting boat.When I came here, memories from the past flooded my mind.

After eating, Lian Mu led the way to the bow deck, where a red praying lantern was hung on a wooden stand.

Lu Changhe thought that taking time out of Lian Mu's busy schedule to accompany him for a day was a birthday gift, but he didn't expect...

Just as his heart was surging, Lian Mu had already led him to the sky lantern.

He personally lit the candles under the lamp, handed the lamp to Lu Changhe, smiled faintly, and said, "Lu Changhe, happy birthday."

After receiving the sky lantern, Lu Chang let go of his hand again, and the sky lantern flew into the air.The warm flame danced under the red lamp, and a note hung under the candle, with four strong words on it-"Birthday is auspicious".

Lu Chang watched happily as the lamp got higher and higher, and then a second lamp and a third lamp appeared in his vision... until, the sky was full of lights.

There are lights in the water and the moon in the sky.

"Tonight the full moon is bright and clear, but the stars are dim and sparse. If there are no brilliant stars, I will give you a sky full of star lanterns."
