Food for the people

"Yesterday, Prince Yan's mansion carried out dozens of boxes of betrothal gifts and sent them to Qiao's house. Have you heard?"

Outside a pastry shop not far from Deyu Building on West Street, two men were standing in front of a shelf cart, unloading the shop while talking casually. The person who was speaking stood with his back to the pastry shop, talking I couldn't stop being shocked and envious, as if I was still immersed in the scene I saw yesterday, and I couldn't recover.

The man standing next to him was speechless when he heard the words: "How could I not have heard of it? I saw it with my own eyes. There are dozens of boxes of gold, silver, jade, antiques, jewelry, and cloth, not counting the horses behind." Utensil, I have lived in this West Street for decades, and I have never seen so many betrothal gifts. I really did not expect that Prince Yan would actually marry a man. There was also a notice outside the Yulou, saying that as long as you sincerely go to the Qingchan Temple to ask for a peace talisman from the young master of the Qiao family, you can go to the Yulou to receive the reward. Zhang Ping'an Talisman."

"What about the bounty? Did you give it?" The person in front immediately widened his eyes when he heard that there was still a bounty.

"Of course I did. Where is Prince Yan's Mansion? It's rich and powerful. It's almost worth the reward. I gave you a bunch of copper coins." The man said.

"Oh, I thought he was a liar at the time. If I had known that I could get so much reward, I would have gone too." The man in front had a look of remorse.

"A few days ago, didn't you say that it is unheard of for a prince to marry a man?" the man teased.

The person in front immediately retorted: "Hey, isn't that just a word of mouth? If Prince Yan really wants to get married, what does it matter to me if he marries a man or a woman?"

The man nodded: "That's a reasonable thing to say... Come on, don't say it, if you really regret it, wait a few more days, Prince Yan's mansion is overjoyed, you go to join in the fun, Lord Yan wants I really like that Mr. Qiao so much, maybe I will reward the big guy with some money, and I will go and have a look at that time."

"You're right. When did Prince Yan get married?"

"July [-]th, it's only a few days away, please remember... that's all, all right, let's work."

The man hummed, the two finally had enough gossip, shut their mouths, and started to work seriously.

But a girl in a pink dress and a purple skirt came out of the pastry shop, walked up to the two of them, and asked in a low voice, "May I ask you two elder brothers, where is the Deyu Tower you are talking about?"

The two of them had just finished talking, and were working with their heads down, when they heard someone talking, they raised their heads and saw that it was a pretty girl, and immediately said with a smile: "Does the girl want to go to Deyulou to collect the reward? That list has been withdrawn now, if the girl wants to go to receive the reward, I'm afraid it's not the right time to go."

The girl shook her head, with a smile on her face, but her face was a little pale, and said: "I don't want to accept the reward, I just want to go and see."

Only then did the two ooh, and pointed to the back in unison: "Just go through this alley, turn right, and the alley behind is very close, you can see it when you go there, girl."

The girl responded, and thanked them, they turned their heads and left.

This girl is none other than Zhao Siyun who has recuperated for a long time and finally left everything in the past behind.

She had a serious illness that day, and it took a long time to take care of her. She was too weak. Zhao Deshen felt sorry for her daughter, so he simply closed the shop and took her and Zhao Siyu back to his hometown in Yanzhou. He also sent Aunt Zhao back home. , just came back a few days ago.

Zhao Siyun has given up on her mother now, and she can see that her mother has no one but herself in her heart, so she didn't intervene in Zhao Deshen's decision to reconcile and leave, and only let her father leave enough for his hometown in Yanzhou Yinzi, after making sure that her mother had enough food and clothing, she went back to Hanyang City with her father.

She had been in love with Qiao Yu for a long time, but after this incident, she knew that the fate between the two of them in this life was broken and could not be forced.

After hearing about Qiao Yu and Prince Yan Lu Jincheng, she couldn't believe it at first, but then she let it go. In short, she and Qiao Yu are no longer possible, so it doesn't matter who Qiao Yu likes to her.

She went to Deyulou this time, not because she wanted to meet Qiao Yu, but because she wanted to give Qiao Yu a congratulatory gift. They have no destiny in this life, and they will definitely never see each other again, but she still wants to wish her brother Sheng happiness Ankang, of course she is the same, just like Sheng brother Tuo Qiaoling told her, it will pass, and she will definitely find her own happiness in the future.

When Zhao Siyun arrived at Deyulou, it was not time for dinner in Deyulou, but there were already quite a few people sitting in the hall, and the servant was busy inside and out, seeing her standing at the door, he immediately greeted her, Ask her to come in and sit down.

Zhao Siyun shook her head and took a look inside. There was a young man sitting in front of the counter, but it wasn't Qiao Yu. She breathed a sigh of relief, waved her hand to the boy, and said, "No need, I have something to give here. Qiao Sheng, the boss of Yulou, please help me give him the things."

The boy had never seen her before, but when he saw that she was here to deliver something to Qiao Yu, he thought it was someone Qiao Yu knew and didn't take what was in her hand, so he wanted to let someone in and sit down first, and said, "Today just happens to be Mr. Qiao is coming, if the girl is not in a hurry, please come in first and wait for a while, and you can hand over the things to Mr. Qiao later."

Zhao Siyun was slightly startled when he heard the words, and then smiled again: "It's just a little thing, I don't need to give it to him personally, please do it for me, I still have something to do, I have to leave."

When the boy heard this, he couldn't force it, so he had to take the things over. Seeing Zhao Siyun turned around and left, he hurriedly hugged the things and said, "Girl, you haven't said your name yet, how can I tell you later?" Master Qiao said?"

Zhao Siyun ignored him, and ran away holding her skirt.

The boy chased after two steps, but was stopped by Chen Cong, who was sitting in front of the counter, and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you running outside?"

The boy turned around holding his things, looked at Chen Cong and said inexplicably: "Brother Cong, there was a girl who said she had something to give to the young master, but she didn't say her name. Run away."

Hearing the words, Chen Chuan was also a little puzzled, he waved and said, "What is it, bring it here and let me have a look."

The boy carried the things over and handed them to Chen Cong.

Chen Kui took a look and found that the thing was wrapped in a piece of red silk. It was so square that he couldn't see what was inside. He couldn't take it apart to have a look, so he put it on the counter and went out to look outside again. However, the person had already left without a shadow, and he was quite surprised, so he had to put the things on the wine rack behind, and wait for Qiao Yu to come back later to see for himself.

Qiao Yu and Lu Jincheng didn't arrive at Deyu Tower together until after noon.

When Qiao Yu entered the door, he stumbled at the door, and he didn't know where he was twisted. The expression on his face was a little strange for a moment. Lu Jincheng supported him, then put his palm on his back, and rubbed it moderately for a few times. Leaning over and whispering in his ear, "What's the matter? Are you twisting your waist?"

Qiao Yu was supported by him calmly, turned her head and said, "No, I'm dragging my legs."

He was pressed by Lu Jincheng last night to test his flexibility all night. Now he is a little sore when he walks normally. When he stumbled suddenly, he didn't know which tendon in his thigh was pulled. It was sore and painful Very sour.

Hearing the words, Lu Jincheng remembered something, his eyes darkened, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I'm to blame for being too excited yesterday."

Qiao Yu looked up at him and said, "It's good that the prince knows."

He was pushed and manipulated until the light of day last night, his begging voice became hoarse, and his words still seemed to contain gravel, if it hadn't been for half an hour of soaking in the water bath after waking up, it would have made Lu Jincheng quite a while Rubbing, maybe he is still lying on the bed right now.

Lu Jincheng was not annoyed at being secretly criticized by him. Yesterday he finally carried the dowry gift he had prepared long ago into the door of Qiao's house. The small courtyard of Qiao's house is too small, unless his things are stacked one on top of the other. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the small courtyard of Qiao's family to let it go, so the dowry was carried to Qiao's mansion, and Qiao Yu didn't have much interest in those things that were praised and envied by the people.

Although he loves money, he is not greedy for money. He has worked hard to make money from the beginning, just to make him and Qiao Ling live well. Now that the goal has been achieved, what Lu Jin presented to him is in his eyes. It's not as good as the fireworks and river lanterns that were set off for him that night.What Qiao Yu really didn't expect was that Lu Jincheng even gave him Prince Yan's mansion together. The letter of appointment said in black and white that everything about Lu Jincheng, from the moment the letter of appointment came into Qiao Yu's hands, was written in black and white. , it was all Qiao Yu's, and he would not change it in this life.

That is to say, even if they are not together one day, these things will still belong to Qiao Yu. As long as Qiao Yu is willing, Lu Jincheng may have nothing at any time.

Of course, it was impossible for Qiao Yu to let him have nothing, but he was still firmly determined by Lu Jincheng's calculations, and he was completely moved.

Lu Jincheng had given him so much, and he felt he had nothing to repay. After much deliberation, he came up with a bad idea that he regretted at the beginning, blindfolded Lu Jincheng, and changed him into red makeup.

Qiao Yu's appearance is very good. Although her eyebrows and eyes are gorgeous, she doesn't look too feminine, but this is when she is wearing men's clothes. After standing in front of Lu Jincheng and taking off his blindfold, the lust in Lu Jincheng's eyes almost wanted to engulf him.

Then he begged for mercy all night, and Lu Jincheng didn't let him go.

Qiao Yu woke up in the morning and his guts were green with regret, and he secretly thought that he would throw away the gauze skirt when he got up later, and he must never give Lu Jincheng another chance to torment him like this.

Lu Jincheng touched his ear lightly, and said in a deep voice: "It's just that Qiao Er was too hooked yesterday, I couldn't help it, that waist seemed to be broken by a pinch, tender like Like tofu..."

Qiao Yu pretended to be nonchalant, but now he was about to blush when he said it, and suddenly pulled Lu Jincheng down, and covered his mouth with his hand.

"My lord, please be more reserved."

Lu Jincheng frowned and smiled at him, and then Qiao Yu felt his palm being touched by something warm and squishy.

He hurriedly retracted his hands again, straightened his waist, and walked towards the counter with stretched legs, unwilling to look at Lu Jincheng.

When the two of them were talking, Chen Huan kept his eyes on the whole time, and he didn't even look at them. Now that Qiao Yu came up to him, he smiled and saluted the two of them.

"Master, have you eaten yet?"

He comes here more than Qiao Yu now, thanks to Yulou's daily menu. He asked Qiao Yu if he would like to eat, and reported like a few: "Today, Brother Kang made mushroom porridge with mushrooms, fresh Tongue off, sweet and sour crispy pork is also delicious, fried lotus root box is also good, young master, do you want to try it?"

Qiao Yu had already had some porridge in the morning, and now hearing what Chen Kui said, he felt a little hungry, and was about to order some as Chen Kui said, when Lu Jincheng said from the side: "Don't bother I want a porridge with mushroom balls."

Then, seeing Qiao Yu's worried face, he said, "Bring another serving of milk porridge and crab leg porridge."

All in all, Qiao Yu can only drink porridge, and can't touch any other greasy things.

Knowing that he was doing it for his own good, although Qiao Yu wasn't very happy, he didn't force it. He had nothing to do, so he waved to Chen Cong, indicating that he was going to do it by himself, but he heard Chen Cong slap his head, and from behind him He took out a four-square package wrapped in red silk from the shelf and handed it to him, saying, "This is something someone just gave you, young master, please open it and have a look."

Someone came to give him something?

Qiao Yu looked puzzled and asked, "Who sent it?"

Chen Cong shook his head: "It's a girl, I haven't even seen anyone, she just gave the things to Xiao Liu, she said it was for you, son, and asked him to bring the things to you, even what is her name?" Didn't say anything, just left."

girl?Qiao Yu was even more puzzled when he heard this, and turned to look at Lu Jincheng.Lu Jincheng also looked towards him, with a calm expression, and he didn't seem to be too curious about this girl, but if he didn't tap his fingers on the fan twice, he might look more like her.

Seeing him like this, Qiao Yu was rather amused, and dragged him to him: "My lord, just ask if you want to, and put on a face that you don't mind what you are doing."

Lu Jincheng closed his fan, and whispered in Qiao Yu's ear, "Okay, then let me just say, it's really a bit of a treat to be a husband. Does Qiao Er know who this girl is?"

Qiao Yu shook his head: "I don't know."

The two contemplated each other for a moment, and no one was in a hurry to unpack the burden. After a while, the two looked up at each other again, and Lu Jincheng said, "I seem to have a candidate in my mind."

Qiao Yu also said, "I guessed it too."

He has been here for so long, and he doesn't know many people. He can be called a girl and give him things. After thinking about it, it can only be Zhao Siyun.

"Open it and have a look." Lu Jincheng said.

Qiao Yu responded, and carefully opened the red silk outside, only to see that inside was a boxy box, the box was about the size of Qiao Yu's palm, and when he opened it, there was a small transparent handle inside. As one wishes.

There is a note under it, which reads: "But drink wishful wine, and think of a lover as much as possible."

This sentence is bestowed on Qiao Yu, and also on herself. In the future, the mountains and rivers will be far away, and only when she is with the one she loves can everything go well.

The author has something to say: Tao Zi: This poem is compiled by me, the original poem is "I regret that I don't have Ruyi wine, and it's hard to think about a lover."
