The gates of the city are closed at night in Lin'an, and there is an inn five miles away from the city, which is convenient for the crowd to rest their feet.

Shopkeeper Yuan was busy until midnight, put away his abacus before going to rest, when he heard someone coming downstairs, he looked up, hurried out of the elm tent, stepped forward and asked, "Is this master still asleep?"

The visitor's round-neck gown is made of creamy white light silk, with Luan, Crane and auspicious clouds printed on the silk surface, light gold seam, holding a sandalwood fan, and a suet cream jade around the waist. Look, there is a word engraved on it, which is the word Yu.

Shopkeeper Yuan is well-informed and knowledgeable. He went to the Western Regions to do business in his early years, and he knew that his customers were either rich or expensive just by wearing a suit. Coupled with the word jade, he was very sure of it.

Shopkeeper Yuan wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and said stoopingly: "The shop is negligent, if there is something wrong, just tell me."

"There is no way to be negligent." As soon as these words came out, like jade falling into the pan spring, he began to knock on the empty rock.

When shopkeeper Yuan saw him walking to the table in the hall, he hurriedly put down a few stools, and called the waiter who was dozing behind the wooden pillar to boil water and pour tea, and told him to ask for the best tea, which the waiter had never seen before. The boss of Cutou was so generous, he asked in a low voice: "Which adult is this?"

"My lord?" Shopkeeper Yuan cupped his hands to the sky: "If you guessed correctly, then he is a prince."

"My lord?" Xiaoer felt his voice was too loud, and hurriedly covered his mouth, missing words between his fingers: "Why does your lord live here?"

Shopkeeper Yuan said: "How do I know? But look at the inscription, it must be Zhao Yu, the Seventh Prince. If it is really him, he must be playing in Lin'an. It's not unusual, but..." Blast away Xiaoer, Yuan The shopkeeper pondered.

It is rumored that Zhao Yufu is in Beijing, fighting cocks, walking birds, planting grass and flowers all day long, not only that, but also sitting improperly, often drinking and having fun, lingering in the place of fireworks, he thought he looked like Li Sida, the son of the prefect, but he didn't expect it, so Xia The posture is moon-like, and the temperament is expensive.Sure enough, they are the sons and daughters of the phoenix, even Meng Lang, who is different from ordinary people.

Shopkeeper Yuan brought a pot of pineapple and put it on the table. Zhao Yu took advantage of the time when he was pouring tea and asked, "How long is it?"

Shopkeeper Yuan replied: "It's the third watch."

Zhao Yu asked: "Is the shopkeeper busy sending to usher, and haven't gone to sleep yet after counting accounts?"

Shopkeeper Yuan said: "Exactly."

Zhao Yu picked up the blue and white tea bowl and took a sip: "Business is good."

Shopkeeper Yuan waved his hand: "Where is it, it's all just to make ends meet."

Zhao Yu asked again: "I heard that Lin'an City is very lively, is there any fun place to go?"

Really came to have fun.

"This..." Shopkeeper Yuan thought about Zhao Yu's personality, and hurriedly said: "You can go to Mulan Lane early in the morning to drink tea and listen to books. There is a flower and bird market over there. Most of them are exotic flowers and plants, and some foreigners have caught them." The canary bird has a strange color and is rare in the world. At noon, you can go to Changqinglou for drinking and Yuhelou for dinner. Immortal stuffed vegetarian meat is their specialty. At night... Qinglefang, Jiuqu Street, Yingying, swallows and swallows are all over the place, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages, as you like."

Zhao Yu nodded: "Sounds good."

Shopkeeper Yuan saw that he was satisfied, and thought to himself: No matter how extraordinary the appearance is, the inside is also rotten.Seeing that there was no order, he went back to his room to rest.

As soon as the shopkeeper left, there was a sound of "dong dong" on the stairs. After a while, the slave in the blue blouse ran up to Zhao Yu and gasped, "Master, why didn't you ask me to follow you when you got up."

Zhao Yu got up and went upstairs: "You sleep like a pig, and you can still sleep on the ground after kicking, is it my fault?"

Cheng Qiao hurriedly said, "It's the servant's fault. The servant will change his surname to Zhu tomorrow."

Zhao Yu played with the folding fan in his hand: "Don't just talk about it, you even changed your household registration."

"Ah..." Cheng Qiao really said it out of his mouth, if he changed his household registration and called "Zhu Qiao" and returned home, wouldn't it make people laugh?He hurriedly changed the subject: "Master, if you stay up so late, are you thinking about His Majesty marrying you again?"

"What can you think about?" Zhao Yu opened the door and entered the room, Cheng Qiao stepped forward to help pour the water, the water was lukewarm, without tea leaves.

"But you don't want to, we will be forced to marry when we return to Beijing. His Majesty ordered you to return to Beijing within half a month. Now the sixth prince is far away, and the noble concubine is in Qingzhou to worship Buddha. If they are not in Beijing, old thief Feng will be here again." Your Majesty said a few more words in front of you, saying that you are twenty and three, and you don't even marry a concubine, which is extremely absurd."

"It's okay." Zhao Yu put the folding fan on the table, took off the jade pendant around his waist, and signaled Cheng Qiao to help him undress, Cheng Qiao didn't say much, put the frosty white robe carefully in his luggage, and took out a set of blue and blue auspicious patterns and put it on the bed side.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yu took Cheng Qiao to Mulan Lane.

Lin'an is beautiful, with white walls, gray tiles and flying corners. Cheng Qiao took the simple drawings drawn by the shopkeeper Yuan, and walked an elegant path with Zhao Yu.

It rained a few days ago, and the green moss on the corner of the wall was bright and green. I was walking blindly, but who would have thought that this small path would have a hidden hole, with murals carved on the wall, first "Huang Ying Hu Chun" and then "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" After painting the forest birds and then "Plum Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum" is compared to "Rich Peony", and then there are characters, graceful and graceful, with various demeanors.Today, the Holy One is a great painter, and most of the folks are good at calligraphy and painting. There are many such alleys in the city. At the beginning, only one person painted. Everyone watched the new signs and followed suit. Gradually, it became a gallery of scenes, and it was named Yutang Painting Workshop.

Most of the paintings are straightforward, some are obscure, some are good and some are bad, and they are uneven. Cheng Qiao can't understand after looking at them. He can't read much, so he pointed to a picture and asked, "Master, what are these two people doing?" The name is Chuyutu, but these two are in their seventies and eighties, no matter how they first met, it’s too late.”

Zhao Yuzhi tapped his fan on the wall, looked at the translation and said, "This is a picture of my first encounter."

In the painting is an old couple. They met in the mountains when they were teenagers. They fell in love at first sight and got married. They have been in love for a hundred years. When they were old, they recalled the first encounter. She clasped her hands to ask questions, and the wife lowered her eyes shyly. It happened that there were a few bamboos erected in the corner of the wall, which was considered suitable for the occasion.

Just as Cheng Qiao was about to ask carefully, he saw the bamboos shaking inexplicably, and he hurriedly stood in front of Zhao Yu: "My lord, be careful!"

Standing in the deep alley, Zhao Yu looked up, and saw a pair of hands clasped on the gray earth tiles, three or four bamboo poles fell to the ground with a few "claps", a leg climbed up the wall first, and then a human head popped out.

At this time, the morning sun was hanging high, and the green streets and long alleys burst into golden light. Zhao Yu looked at the man like flowers growing on the eaves, and the man also looked at him like snow falling from a vine.

"Who are you!" Cheng Qiao shouted.

"You don't care who I am." Xu Fengjin looked away and listened carefully to the movement behind him. His good luck in these years seemed to have been squandered. As soon as he left Qinglefang on his front foot last night, he bumped into him with a swollen face and went out to fool around Li Sida took advantage of the dark night and the wind and squatted in a corner to hide for a night. He was turned out early in the morning and was chased to Yutangfang, but he forgot that there were dead ends everywhere. The bamboo pole didn't fall down, and just about to run, he saw a figure rushing past his eyes.

Cheng Qiao yelled at people and asked recklessly, "Master, I didn't hit you, did I?"

Zhao Yu said, "Nothing."

Xu Fengjin said in his heart: It's nothing.Bending down, picking up a stone, shaking it in his hand, and slamming it at the running figure, he staggered a few steps, then picked up the bamboo pole on the ground, and beat the man's head with it, Yu Sanniang was holding a feather duster The way he beat him, the man was knocked down to the ground with tinnitus and dizziness, Xu Fengjin stepped forward to mend a few more times, and pulled out a piece of jade pendant from his hand.

Zhao Yu lowered his head to see that the jade pendant was his own.

Xu Fengjin walked over with the jade pendant and asked Zhao Yu, "Is this yours?"

Zhao Yu said, "Exactly."

Xu Fengjin said: "Yes, it looks quite valuable."

"Bold!" Cheng Qiao said: "This is Yu... This is a priceless treasure! It cannot be measured by money!"

Xu Fengjin was horrified: "It's so valuable? Then I'll get it back for you, do you want to thank me?"

Zhao Yu said: "This is natural."

"How do you plan to thank you?" Xu Fengjin didn't wait for him to speak, and said again: "This jade pendant is so precious, at least you have to give me a thousand taels of gold, right?"

A thousand taels of gold? !It's like a lion opening its mouth!Cheng Qiao was so angry that she was about to curse at the street, Xu Fengjin said, "But I am a real person, and I like to help others when I have nothing to do. Even if you give me a thousand taels of gold, I will not accept it." Said Cheng Qiao pushed aside, Approaching Zhao Yu, he handed the jade pendant to his hand, and said kindly: "You are dressed too ostentatiously, with gold threads and patterns, and the broken paintings of Yutangfang can also be seen with gusto, only the words "I am The rich people from other places came to snatch me away." Most likely, I was targeted early in the morning. Thanks to my quick-wittedness and extraordinary skills, I helped you snatch back the priceless treasure. Without me, the consequences would be disastrous..."

"Of course, I don't want money and I don't ask for credit." Xu Fengjin stared at Zhao Yu with a smile and said, "But I helped you, so you have to help me too?"
