The Young Emperor and the Fearless

At the auction of Manxianglou, many people came to watch the excitement.However, due to special circumstances, visitors need to show their invitation card before entering, or hand over a tael of silver to enter.

Most of the people couldn't bear the money, looked around for a few times, and left angrily.

This time the prefect, Su Yu, and Ju Xie also went.

They found a curtained stand, drinking tea and eating pastries.

Su Yu couldn't help sighing: "Master He, you drink tea every day, and you live a leisurely life."

He Mao said: "No, it's not. Master Su, I'm afraid you didn't see me when I was busy with official duties, so I said this slanderous thing about me."

Su Yu said: "Master He is referring to the short time after dinner?"

He Maodao: "Master Su was just joking. When you came back last night, I hadn't gone to bed. Didn't I say hello to Master Su at that time? Didn't Master Su forget it so quickly?"

Of course Su Yu didn't forget that He Mao deliberately said last night that he smelled like rouge and went to have fun with the girl. Su Yu explained a few words, but He Mao still shook his head and refused to listen.Su Yu couldn't be angry, so he deliberately made things difficult.

Last night, Su Yu and Juxie returned without success, and finally listened to the gossip of the three girls.

When they left, the girls were very enthusiastic about Juxie and invited him to come again, but Juxie did not respond.And Su Yu had to go again, and he had to persevere in persuading him because he hadn't finished what Heli had explained.

Su Yu wasn't sure if he could persuade them before Heli came back.

The three of them just had nothing to do and joined in the fun.

Before the auction started, Manxianglou was bustling with people.On the stage where the opera is usually sung, there are women playing the pipa and singing ditty tunes.

The three of them listened attentively, and He Mao's oops startled Su Yu and Ju Xie.

Su Yu asked: "Master He, what's wrong with you?"

He Maodao: "I forgot one thing, there is a Xie Yuan in the Chang family, I should go to congratulate him."

"..." Su Yu said, "It's all happened yesterday, and you only think of Congratulations today?"

He Mao said: "It's not too late today, Master Su, Young Master Ju, I'll take a step first."

Xie Yuan went to Beijing for the examination, and if he got a Jinshi, he might become his colleague. He Mao couldn't help this kind of affection.

As soon as He Mao left his seat, someone took his place quickly.

It was a man, in his forties, dressed very carefully, his sleeves and cuffs were neatly arranged, his appearance was upright, but when he looked at people, his eyes were extremely disdainful.

After he sat down, he glanced at Su Yu, and his eyes fell on Ju Xie again.But Ju Xie stared lazily downstairs with her face sideways, not paying attention to him.

But the man paused for a moment, and suddenly narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Su Yu has been paying attention to him. No matter how dull he is, he can still see the naked desire in this man's eyes. This man has bad intentions for Ju Xie.Su Yu hesitated whether to tell Juxie, moved his elbow first, and touched Juxie.

Ju Xie turned her head and noticed it soon.He curled the corners of his mouth habitually, with a half-smile, then opened the empty teacup, poured a cup of tea from the teapot, and slowly pushed it in front of the man.

Ju Xie said, "Please."

The man picked up the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, as if his mouth was parched.

Not long afterward, the man's face turned red, and there was a dense layer of thick hair between his forehead. He sat upright for a while, but couldn't take it anymore, covered his stomach, bowed his body, and walked away in a bit of embarrassment.

The man didn't know whether something was wrong or what, and he limped when he walked.

Su Yu said: "Did you drug him?"

Ju Xie said, "Hmph."

Su Yu asked curiously, "What medicine?"

Ju Xie said: "Aphrodisiac to suit his heart."

"..." Su Yu said, "Where did it come from?"

Juxie said: "Last night in Hualou, the woman wanted to go down to the wine, and I came along."

What happened last night?

Su Yu didn't know what to say, and Ju Xie added: "They didn't play it for you, so don't worry."

Su Yu: "..."

Su Yu paused, and then asked, "Didn't you do that man's leg?"

Ju Xie thought it was funny: "His legs were lame, not from birth, but they were broken the day after tomorrow."

Can this be seen?

Su Yu wanted to ask at first, but Ju Xie got a little impatient, and turned his face away again.Su Yu stared at Ju Xie's profile for a while, and figured out why the man wanted to have evil thoughts about him.

Just like what the three girls said last night, Ju Xie looks feminine, with picturesque features, especially from the side view, which makes people unable to tell the gender.A man with this appearance is easy to attract others, no matter men or women.

Thinking about it carefully, if it wasn't for Ju Xie's cold temperament and all her abilities, she might have been taken advantage of by the woman from Hualou last night, and today she would have been taken advantage of by that inexplicable man.

The world is dangerous, and Juxie is hard work.

Su Yu faintly showed sympathy, and was suddenly startled by Ju Xie's gaze, and immediately suppressed the wild thoughts in his heart.

He almost forgot that when he first saw Juxie, he seemed to come from the underworld, with a dark aura around him that made people shy away and dare not approach him.It was only after Juxie changed her clothes and stayed with them for a long time that she gradually ignored this point.

Su Yu's sympathy is superfluous.

**

In the backyard of the Chang family, Lu Li was busy carrying water again.

Some people complained: "Lv Li, you took leave yesterday, but you escaped unharmed. We were so busy at the banquet yesterday that we didn't rest until early in the morning and didn't sleep well. At this moment, my feet are still It's sour, I can't walk."

The servant was waiting for the back kitchen to boil water and make tea. He was standing while Lu Li was busy.

After the tea was brewed, the man said, "Lu Li, don't pick it up yet, just send this to the guests in the East Courtyard."

Lu Li carried the bucket on his shoulder, put it down, took the tray, and asked, "Brother, who is the guest from the east courtyard?"

The man was not curious and said: "Why do you ask so many questions, you will know if you go there."

The guest in the east courtyard was not the prefect He Mao who came to visit, but another old man with a gray beard.The old man arrived at Chang's house yesterday evening, together with many other people, he was almost drowned in the sea of ​​people.

The old man was accompanied by someone and wanted to see Chang Ning, but the servants didn't know them, so they ignored them at first.But they groped their way to the study room and saw someone.

After that, Chang Ning called the servant who hadn't informed, and slapped him twice.

The visitors were distinguished guests, and Chang Ning did not reveal their identities, but he attached great importance to them.

They lived in the east courtyard, and they didn't know how long they would stay.

The old man was not in good health. As soon as Lu Li entered the courtyard, he heard coughing from the room, which sounded a bit heartbreaking.He pushed the door open, and the old man said hoarsely: "Bring it here."

The old man was lying on the bed, his whole body was covered by the quilt, and his head was covered, only the top of his head was exposed, and the hair on it was all white.

Lu Li thought of his mother, who looked like this every time she lay down.

He put the tray on the table, poured the tea, and brought it directly, but felt that something was wrong. He went to help the old man sit up, and used a soft pillow to cushion his back. Only then did he have the heart to observe the old man .

The old man's face was full of dimples and deep wrinkles. In his twilight years, his face seemed to have a lifeless look, probably because he had been seriously ill for many years. This old look and weak appearance were even worse than Lu Li's mother.

The old man opened his mouth again and said, "Water."

Lu Li quickly brought the teacup and handed it to him.

The old man smelled it, frowned and said, "I don't want tea, I want water!"

Lu Li asked, "Is it Baishui?"

The old man was a little angry: "Pour me water!"

I don't know why, Lu Li couldn't get off the tiger, but he had no choice but to retreat, and went to the back kitchen to boil a pot of white water.

When the water was served again, the old man was picky again: "The cup is not clean, change it."

Lu Li didn't expect this old man to be so difficult to serve, but he changed to a porcelain cup as he said, and poured water on him after cleaning it specially.

The old man didn't say anything this time, and after drinking the water, he lay down again.

Lu Li wanted to leave, but the old man refused, saying, "Go and call Chang Ning over!"

Lu Li said: "Master is entertaining Mr. He, the prefect in the front yard. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."

The old man refused to let go: "Let Chang Ning come here quickly! I want to find him!"
