Chapter 169 Drinks
Although there is no cold caused by snow on the streets of Chang'an City, the bone-broken coldness hidden in the cold wind still blows on everyone.
Lu Zhong smiled and said, "If the boss does this, I will have to sell all your goods."
The old man waved his hands repeatedly, looking anxious. He really didn't dare to ask for money at all. It would be great if he could save his life.
Lu Zhong turned his head and glanced at a Jinyiwei behind him. The man immediately understood it. He took out a bag of silver from the flying fish suit and put it on the table.
Lu Zhong looked at the old man with a smile, "Boss, if you say something to me during the New Year, all these money will belong to you."
The old man still couldn't believe that the adults like Jinyiwei really paid for it, and bought their own goods in front of him.
Let’s look at the bulging money bag on the table, and the money in it is enough to buy your own ten stalls.
Lu Zhong was not in a hurry, crossed his hands and placed them in his sleeves, and said to Wang Yi, who was also watching the show beside him: "Wang Yi, do you know the word "Fu" that everyone has to post during the New Year, what is the explanation?"
Wang Yi also smiled. It seemed that Lord Lu was testing himself.
"The word "Fu" is a clothes on the left, and on the right, the family guards a field, so together, the whole family guards a field, and has no worries about food and clothing, which is blessing."
Lu Zhong chuckled softly and said, "I am worthy of being a book, and my opinion is high."
Wang Yi waved his hand and said modestly: "Mr. Lu must have known early on that Wang Yi was just following the words in the book."
Lu Zhong patted Wang Yi on the shoulder, "Good boy, I am from my Jinyiwei, and I am deeply aware of the essence of my Jinyiwei."
Wang Yi smiled and looked at the old man who was still thinking hard, "Boss, if you can't think of it, the money will not be all yours."
Even if the old man wanted to break his head, he couldn't think of a few good New Year words. Those common ones should be bored with these adults, but when he was young, he had never attended a private school for a few days. He was really incompetent. As he thought about it, the old man slapped himself.
Wang Yi couldn't bear it even when he read it. It was just a word, so why don't you help him yourself.
Lu Zhong was also frightened by the old man's slap, and was amused and crying, "Boss, you can tell me a little of those blessing words normally, just say two at will."
When the old man was said by Lu Zhong, his grandson knelt in front of him during the New Year. For his New Year's money, all the auspicious words he said came out. "Sir, sir, I wish you all happiness, peace, smooth sailing, and good luck. I wish you all good luck and wealth every year."
Lu Zhong nodded with a smile. Wang Yi was a little stunned as to the status beside him. Unexpectedly, the old man thought for a long time and could come up with so many blessings. He really underestimated him.
Lu Zhong waved his hand, and the Jinyiwei behind him stepped forward one after another and took away the old man's stall. Before the old man took the bag, he first looked at the jealous appearance of the merchants around him, and hurriedly put the purse in his hand and put it in his arms.
Wang Yi coughed gently and said to the merchants around him who were greedy for the money in the arms of the old man, "If something bad happened to this old man recently, I'm sorry, my Jinyiwei will blame everyone present now.
, There are many empty cells in the imperial prison of our Jinyiwei, and you are welcome to go."
Everyone present was stunned. Those who were hiding in the dark and wanted to steal the money in the old man's arms or stolen it after today were put away their thoughts. The merchants no longer paid attention to this place and turned their heads consciously.
When Lu Zhong saw it, he saw that the good image he had finally established was destroyed by Wang Yi again, but Lu Zhong was not only not angry, but also very happy.
Lu Zhong slowly raised his hand and slapped Wang Yi on the back of the head.
Wang Yi covered the back of his head in pain and looked at Lu Zhong with some grievance. Lu Zhong smiled without explaining, but walked forward with his hands behind his back.
Wang Yi touched the back of his head, held the Spring Festival couplet he had just bought in his hand, and followed Lu Zhong's footsteps.
The imperial city of Chang'an City is full of New Year atmosphere. Palace maids and eunuchs hung red lanterns on the eaves of various places. The door of each empress's bedroom was even festive objects distributed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" were cut by each empress, which was also a pleasing behavior.
Since two days are His Majesty's birthday, every empress is taking the time to choose gifts, either make them by hand, or buy them.
Since the Yang family’s women entered the palace, Emperor Ming rarely went to other empresses’ bedrooms, so these empresses all wanted to take this opportunity to show off in front of His Majesty.
Li Yuan entered the palace early today and was found by his aunt, the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty, and sat in the Cining Palace for a long time.
The Empress Dowager has also known about Li Yuan’s affairs recently. He joined the Jinyiwei and made a lot of money in Baizi Academy. Li Yuan didn’t have to think about this. He glanced at the old eunuch beside the Empress Dowager and Li Yuan knew that it must be the Inspector’s Inspector who told the Empress Dowager.
Li Yuan was very respectful to his aunt. She has brought Li Yuan with her since she was a child. When she was fine, she would bring him into the palace and teach him personally. This was easy for the empress dowager who came from a famous family.
Li Yuan sat near the Empress Dowager, and below were the princes who were his nephews in terms of seniority but were actually older than him.
Today, the Empress Dowager summoned everyone to hold a family dinner, and to let these princes who are rare on weekdays contact each other and contact each other.
Li Yuan had no objection to this. To him, those nephews who looked smiling and chatting were all pitiful people.
I was thinking about how to kill the other party, but now I had to smile and stay with my grandmother to maintain the so-called family affection here.
The Empress Dowager held Li Yuan's hand and kept telling Li Yuan that the Jinyiwei was in danger of doing business and that he had to take good care of himself. Li Yuan was a little overwhelmed, and the Empress Dowager went over and over again and again, but he had never changed since Li Yuan did this, but Li Yuan still listened with a smile, and the Empress Dowager was also worried about himself and was afraid of his danger.
As for those princes, the Queen Mother just gave a few random instructions and ignored them.
After finally waiting for the empress dowager, she was a little tired and ordered the eunuchs and palace maids to send the princes away. Li Yuan took the opportunity to escape from Cining Palace.
Li Yuan stood on a corridor and stretched his waist. In Cining Palace, he could not make the empress dowager angry or make her sad, so he was not feeling well.
There, it was like countless silk threads tied up themselves and walked out of the Cining Palace and the silk threads disappeared.
Li Yuan lay on the railing, and the eunuchs around him lowered their heads, not daring to look at the prince of the Yan King.
Li Yuan quietly looked at this century-old imperial city, stunned and dazed.
The Imperial Guards walked in the imperial city one after another, patrolling the surrounding situation. The palace maids wearing red clothes in the distance walked towards the imperial kitchen with the tableware they had just used for the banquet.
There was actually a lake in the distance that was not frozen, and a little heat came out. Li Yuan knew that it was Huaqing Pond.
The eunuch behind him began to sweat on his head. He should have followed the Queen Mother's will and sent His Highness out of the palace. However, His Highness is standing here now, and he dare not come forward to urge him, so he had to stand here with His Highness.
Li Yuan came to his senses, glanced at the little eunuch behind him, and waved his hand, "You go back, just say I want to stay here and have a chat with my nephews."
The little eunuch bent down again and said to Li Yuan: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother asked the little one to send you out of the palace. Isn't you making things difficult for the little one?"
Li Yuan glanced at the little eunuch who didn't know how to adapt, "Just say that, or I can't guarantee that you will not be killed by the empress dowager, your godfather, and thrown into the mass grave."
When the little eunuch heard Li Yuan reveal his godfather's identity, he said tremblingly: "Your Highness, the prince, the little one, you will leave."
Li Yuan jumped and sat directly on the railing. This was a big taboo in the imperial city, but the imperial guards and servants passing by were all lowering their heads and pretending to be invisible.
"Li Yuan, sitting here is very disrespectful to his father and violates the rules."
Beside him, Li Zhong walked slowly, stood beside Li Yuan, and looked at the Huaqing Pool in the distance with Li Yuan.
Li Yuantou didn't look back, shaking his legs and sat there leisurely, "When will you talk to me and you don't need to be respectful to me? Come on, call me uncle."
Li Zhong, who was in a good mood, was suddenly made a little angry by Li Yuan, but Li Zhong said, "I haven't seen you for many years, and my uncle is still so unreasonable."
Li Yuan was a little tired of sitting, so he simply lay on the pillar behind, and Lu Zhong stood there, with the python robe on his body swaying without wind.
"It's easy to say, since you call me uncle, then I won't drive away the Sima Hui who you brought into Chang'an City privately. I remember that he offended Your Majesty because of a poem and was exiled to your fiefdom by Your Majesty. If you don't have the will, don't go out easily."
Li Zhong smiled and took out a wine pot from his arms and handed it to Li Yuan. After Li Yuan took it, he opened the lid and sniffed it carefully, and then took a sip, "No, good wine, the 70-year-old spring."
Li Zhong also took out a wine pot from his body, deliberately cleared his throat, coughed, and then opened the lid. Li Yuan, who was sitting beside him, was furious, "Little Li Zhong, you dare to hide the 90-year-old Wannianchun, which is really unkind."
