Food for the people

Satisfied with wine and food, the business has been explained clearly, the three of them got up to leave, and Mr. Shen didn't stay any longer, and sent them to the door, watched them get into the carriage, then turned and went back to the yard.

Qiao Yu didn't know when the carriage was waiting outside, and it wasn't the pony carriage when he came here, he changed to a bigger one, at least he didn't need to touch his hands with his legs when he sat in it.

Qiao Yu's current body is extremely poor at drinking, even though he only drank two glasses, he still felt a little smoky, so he had to close his eyes and lean against the window to rest his mind.

Lu Jincheng, who had drunk a lot of wine, couldn't tell he was half drunk, but the faint fragrance of wine exuded from his body. Combined with the faint sandalwood fragrance on his body, Qiao Yu couldn't help but sniff his nose with his eyes closed, as if somewhere It's like smelling it.

Qiao Yu closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, before he could figure it out, Qiao Ling said next to him: "Brother, look quickly, let's see the alley that Huazi passed by."

Qiao Yu opened his eyes and looked out the window. He hadn't been to this alley during the day, and he didn't see the truth when he came here, but Qiao Ling still had a little impression of it when he said so.

Qiao Yu nodded and was about to speak, when something flashed through his mind suddenly, he looked at Lu Jincheng suddenly, and asked with a strange expression: "On New Year's Eve, let's go to see the girl we bumped into on the Huazi road. That person, can't it be you?"

Just at that moment, he suddenly remembered why he felt that the smell of Lu Jincheng was familiar, because that day when he bumped into his arms, he smelled this smell on him!

The corners of Lu Jincheng's mouth slightly curled up, and he said, "I thought you didn't remember this at all."

Qiao Yu said in surprise, "It's really you."

Although he suddenly remembered such a thing just now, he was not 100% sure that it was really Lu Jincheng. Now that Lu Jincheng himself admitted it, he was a little surprised, which is too coincidental.

"It was so dark that day that I didn't see anyone clearly." Qiao Yu said while looking at Lu Jincheng. The psychological effect was really huge. When he didn't recognize Lu Jincheng, he didn't feel any similarities between the two.Now I recognize it, but the more I look at it, the more I look like it, the smell is like the body, and even the slightly hoarse voice after drinking alcohol is exactly the same as at that time. Why didn't he recognize it at all before?

Not only him, Qiao Ling was also surprised.

Although what happened that night was a small episode, but judging by Mr. Yan's appearance, it was obvious that he had seen the two of them clearly at that time, so why didn't he mention it at all for several days?Qiao Ling was small, but his mind was spinning quickly, and he looked at Lu Jincheng with doubts.

These two people's minds are not as much as Lu Jincheng's. He could tell what the brothers were thinking from the look on their faces. He chuckled and said, "Well, you didn't see me clearly that day. I saw you clearly, so I recognized you at a glance on the street that day, but seeing that you didn't ask too much, I thought it was a trivial matter, why? Now you want to seek revenge from me for bumping your nose?"

Speaking of Qiao Yu's heart, he did think so before.

Qiao Yu's eyeballs were dripping, and before he could speak, Lu Jincheng smiled again and said, "I'm sorry, I drank a little too much that day, I didn't see that I hit your nose, so I'll accompany you. Does it still hurt? How about I let you bump back too?"

While talking, he stretched out his hand to touch Qiao Yu's nose very naturally.

Qiao Yu was dumbfounded, and followed Lu Jincheng's approaching fingers all the way to focus on the bridge of his nose, and briefly crossed his eyes.

Lu Jincheng couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud.

Qiao Yu: ...

He was stunned for a while before he realized what good deed Lu Jincheng had done, and turned into a puffer fish in anger.

This person is too bad, if he doesn't apologize properly, he still molested him, which is tolerable or unbearable.

"Okay, since Mr. Yan said so, I'm too embarrassed to refuse. It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, or today, what do you think?" Qiao Yu stared at Lu Jincheng who was smiling, and put his hands on his chest. Said expressionlessly.

Lu Jincheng was taken aback, and after a while, not only was he not annoyed, but the smile in his eyes deepened, he leaned forward slightly, brought his face close to Qiao Yu, and smiled like a spring breeze: "I think it's okay, come on, give you back." .”

Qiao Yu: ...

Cannibal has a short mouth and short hands, Lu Jincheng just did him a big favor, Qiao Yu couldn't cross the river and tear down the bridge, so he had to endure it.

But he didn't know that it was Qiao Yu's action that pleased him. The smile on Lu Jincheng's face never stopped on the way back. The smiling Qiao Yu was not right, so he couldn't say much.

Fortunately, after a while, Qiao Yu arrived home.

The carriage stopped outside their courtyard, Qiao Yu led Qiao Ling out of the carriage together, Lu Jincheng still smiled and said: "I have something to do today, so don't bother me, I will come to see you next time when I have time. "

Qiao Yu couldn't wish for it, so he happily said goodbye to him.

Seeing Qiao Yu and his brothers enter the yard, Lu Jincheng put down the curtain and said, "Let's go."

The groom flicked the whip in his heart, the horse turned around slowly, and started running on the way they came back.

Lu Jincheng propped his hand on his forehead and thought of something, then laughed lightly again, and then ordered: "Go to Yipin Building first."

Yipinlou is the largest restaurant in Hanyang City. It is said that those who fly in the sky and swim in the water, as long as they can name it, there is nothing that cannot be made in this first-class building, so the price is also amazingly expensive. Ordinary people can afford it.

As soon as Lu Jincheng's carriage stopped at the door, Xiao Er greeted him with a smile on his face. From a glance, he knew that Lu Jincheng must be a frequent guest of this building.

"Master Fourteen hasn't been here for a long time, what do you want to eat today? There are a few new dishes in the store, and I'll give them to Master Fourteen to try together later." Xiao Er presented Lu Jin to the restaurant while talking. Citing in the wing room where I usually sit.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jincheng waved his hand and refused: "Make me a hibiscus custard cake, and I don't need to prepare anything else."

Although Lu Jincheng didn't come to Yipin Building every day, he rarely left without eating anything after he came. The servant was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He responded and quickly ordered the back chef to go first ready to go.

In the first-class building, the things that the Fourteenth Master wanted had the highest priority, so after a while, the hibiscus custard cake that Lu Jincheng wanted was ready, cut into bite-sized cubes, carefully wrapped in oiled paper, and wrapped in sesame oil. The rope was tightly wrapped and handed over to Lu Jincheng.

The servant respectfully brought Lu Jincheng to the door, and asked cautiously, "Master Fourteen really doesn't need anything to eat?"

In the first-class building, all the guests were greeted and sent away, and the servant was also a top ghost. Seeing that Lu Jin was acting abnormally, he was afraid that he was dissatisfied with his poor hospitality.

Lu Jincheng was in a good mood today, and the servant didn't bother to ask him too many questions, so he waved his hand happily: "I've eaten it, and I'll try your new dishes next time."

Only then did the boy let out a sigh of relief, and sent him away with a smile on his face.

The carriage went all the way south, passed through the street where he and Qiao Yu first met, and slowly ran to Prince Yan's Mansion.

The guards of the palace recognized the carriage in the palace from afar, and hurriedly saluted and put the carriage inside.

As soon as Lu Jincheng got out of the carriage, Uncle Chen, the chief steward, ran up to him, bowed and saluted and said, "My lord, Miss Suihe is here, and she is waiting for you in the front hall."

Sui He is the most capable maidservant beside the Empress Dowager besides Aunt Guanqiu, she has come to invite her in person, if Lu Jincheng doesn't go, the Empress Dowager's car will have to come to Prince Yan's Mansion tomorrow.

"Understood, I'm going to change clothes, let Sanqi go and inform first."

Uncle Chen showed a smile on his wrinkled face, and said: "Sanqi has already left, and now I'm afraid...he is being scolded by Miss Suihe."

That is to say, Chen Boyeng called Sui He a girl. Sui He entered the palace in his teens and served the Empress Dowager for more than ten years. Abolished her slave status and promised her a family, but she said that she was reluctant to leave the palace and would rather serve her all her life in front of the queen mother, who had served her for many years. Aunt Qiu single-handedly ordered and became her successor.

Aunt Guanqiu is an old man in the palace. She has been educated by palace rules all her life, and her words and deeds seem to be measured with a ruler. The Suihe she taught is naturally better than blue. people.

And Sanqi seemed to be shaped according to her dislike, there was nothing she was used to seeing all over her body.

Sanqi has been with Lu Jincheng since he was a child, and Lu Jincheng has always been forgiving towards his servants. Sanqi is a clever man and is used to seeing his face in front of Lu Jincheng. He has never made any serious mistakes, and he has never really been punished by the palace. .

So he was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid of the two nuns in front of the empress dowager.

He lost his master today, and he can't even tell where his master is, so he must be scolded by Suihe even more.

At this moment, it is impossible to say that he was about to cry when he was scolded by Sui He.

Lu Jincheng was speechless for a while, so he had to wave his hand at Uncle Chen, telling him to say something nice for Sanqi first, don't really be scolded by Sui He, and turned around to change his clothes.

After he changed his clothes and entered the main hall, he saw Sanqi kneeling on the ground, wiping tears, and Suihe sitting in front of him, as if saying he was tired and drinking tea. Putting down the teacup, she went to him and bowed solemnly.

While stretching out his hand to help, Lu Jincheng said, "It's not anywhere else in my house, so don't be too polite, aunt."

Sui He refused: "There is a difference between a master and a servant, and etiquette cannot be broken. The prince is too indulgent to the people below."

Sanqi suddenly saw Lu Jincheng, the savior, and wanted to go up and hum a few words to tell Lu Jincheng to save him. After hearing Aunt Suihe's insinuation, he knelt back obediently and continued babbling.

Lu Jincheng got a headache from him and reprimanded him, "Hurry up and get out and change."

After being scolded, Sanqi felt relieved as if she had been pardoned, got up and got out with a happy face.

Without Sanqi who was so eye-catching, Suihe's tone of voice was a little lower, and she conveyed the main purpose of her visit in a straightforward way: "The empress dowager wanted the prince to visit the palace yesterday, and it happened that the prince No, this is not today, I let the slaves come to invite me again."

Lu Jincheng said with a smile: "Please trouble Auntie, I just came back from my teacher, so I'm going to the palace to visit my mother."

Although Sui He is only a few years older than Lu Jincheng, he has watched him grow up and knows Lu Jincheng's character well.As long as you don't touch him, this prince is well-known. It is rare that he has no temper, and he is indulgent and tolerant towards his servants. There are very few people in and outside the palace who don't like the fourteenth prince.

She looked at it naturally and felt kind, so she couldn't help but talk a lot: "Your Majesty, I feel sorry for the prince. There is no one who knows the cold and the hot. I just said those things to the prince. If the prince doesn't like it, just tell the empress. Don't really give birth to the empress. angry."

The corners of Lu Jincheng's mouth curled up, as if he remembered her words in his heart, and said, "That's natural, mother and child are connected, I don't have the reason to be angry with a mother."
