"You know better than me. Tell me, brother, oh, by the way, what's your surname?" The fifth prince used his fan to swipe at Guo Tuiguan, then he remembered that he still didn't know his surname.

"The lower official is Guo Muxian, the official of the capital, with the courtesy name Shangwen." Guo first answered the fifth prince's words, then hurriedly turned to the eldest prince and cupped his hands and replied: "Sir, this is a new thing. It was just like it was at the beginning of last month.

, the Muji Soup Noodle Shop in Maishao Hutong has a new rule. It is said that a customer donates twenty bowls of noodles every day, and a sign in the shape of a water drop is hung on the wall. As long as there is a water sign on the wall, anyone can do it.

When you enter the restaurant, you ask for a bowl of water on the wall to eat without paying for it. The most interesting thing is that there is a bowl of wine and two plates of side dishes with the noodles. If the noodle diners are willing, they can also have one bowl of noodles and pay for two bowls.

The extra bowl is hung with a water sign on the wall. This is called adding a bowl of spring water. Maishao Hutong is close to Gongyuan and Daxiangguo Temple. Most of the people who go to eat from this water are literati who are in a difficult situation.

A few days ago, the store added pens, inks, paper and inkstones. It is said that those scholars who came to eat on the water surface would like to write poems and poems with a bowl of wine and delicious soup noodles, and the shopkeeper would

I asked people to prepare paper and ink, saying that they planned to order one book a month, and then lined up each book at the back for people to look through. This noodle soup shop is really elegant."

Guo Tuiguan spoke in great detail. The fifth prince was surprised and said: "There are also pen and ink? I didn't look at this carefully. Brother, do you think it's interesting?" The eldest prince listened very carefully. After listening to the fifth prince's question, he turned to

Turning his head and looking at him thoughtfully, the fifth prince hurriedly looked away, lit the tea soup at hand and said with a smile to Hou Fuyin: "Hou Fuyin said that the method of making tea was popular among the hermits of the previous dynasty. Which book was it recorded in?"

Is there any particular way to make tea? I think the tea tastes good."

"There are many records in the Notes of the Six Dynasties. I will go back and find some tips on making tea. I will send them to the Fifth Master tomorrow." Hou Fuyin cupped his hands and said with a smile. The Fifth Prince nodded with satisfaction and turned to the Eldest Prince.

He made a haha ​​and said: "Originally I said I wanted to take a look, but it took up so much of my time. Brother, you are busy, so I will leave first. I made an appointment with someone to listen to a little song this afternoon. The new Miss Hongtao from Green Pink House,

The clearer the throat is, the more pleasant it is, just like this spring. If the sky clears up in two days, I will go and talk to my elder brother."

As the fifth prince said this, he stood up and cupped his hands. The eldest prince also stood up and raised his hand to signal to Hou Fuyin and others that they did not need to send him out. However, he gently pushed the fifth prince's back and sent him out of the main hall and down the steps of the main hall.

, and after taking two more steps, the eldest prince put his hands behind his back and asked in a very casual tone: "Is that noodle soup shop so interesting?"

"I think the water surface is interesting." The fifth prince looked at the eldest prince frankly, as if he was answering his words, but also seemed not to understand what he said. The eldest prince's eyes flashed brightly, and he changed the topic with a smile: "You know?

I haven't paid my errand, but I'm so busy that I can't spare any time. Let's listen to the music, and don't make too much noise. My dad hates people who indulge in women and linger in the flowers. Also, take some time these two days to go.

When you came to my house, your sister-in-law had been keeping you in mind for several days, saying that the fragrance of spring was strong and that you were playful, so she was afraid that you would develop rubella again when you were tired."

"I haven't been able to afford it for several years. My sister-in-law always treats me as a child. Okay, I understand. I'll go there tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Brother has a lot to do, so I won't bother you. Brother, don't worry about official business. Spend more time with me.

Sister-in-law, let’s have a spring outing, listen to some music or something.” The fifth prince hurriedly agreed, adding a few words of concern.

The eldest prince smiled and shook his head, and walked out of the Moon Gate without giving any more gifts. He watched the fifth prince walk out of the second gate briskly, and the smile on his face gradually faded. His younger brother seemed to be completely ridiculous and not interested in business.

In fact, my heart is very clear. I came here specifically to talk about the matter on the water surface...

"Ming'an," the eldest prince called in a deep voice. Ming'an hurriedly stepped forward and lowered his hands to listen to the instructions: "There is a Muji noodle shop at the entrance of Maishao Lane not far from Gongyuan. First, check the water surface. Second,

Find out who the owner is."

"Yes!" Ming An agreed neatly, and just as he was about to withdraw, the eldest prince suddenly gave a few more instructions: "Let's check how many mujis there are, where they are, how many water suppliers there are, and how much they provide in a day.

, what kind of people come to eat from this water."

"Yes!" Ming An respectfully agreed with his hands crossed. He didn't dare to leave this time. After waiting for a while, he heard the eldest prince's instruction: "Go." Then he bowed and lowered his hands and left to go on errands.

On the day of the ninth day of March, Li Tian went to Fatai Temple to perform rituals for his grandmother early in the morning. When the rituals were about to end in the evening, Grandma Xiong came in and reported in a low voice: "Fifth lady, Ding Qi is outside asking where you are.

!" Li Tian frowned, but before he spoke, Yue Niang raised her eyebrows and said, "Why doesn't Ding Qi have a long memory? He was so wet last time that he was locked up in the Yamen all night, how dare he come?!"

"How did he know who set the fire? Maybe he didn't even think that it was a lesson for him. A fool like him who has no brain at all will not know how he died until he died!" Mother Xiong

The corners of his mouth twitched down and he said contemptuously.

"What the Fifth Lady said is right. There are many people who are as stupid as pigs, so why don't I go and help them..." Yue Niang changed her words midway through her words: "Even if you want to help them, you have to be tactful."

"Let's go down the mountain quietly in a while. Don't pay attention to him." Li Tian thought about it for a while and ordered. Grandma Xiong agreed and went out from the side hall to ask someone to prepare the car. Yueniang accompanied Li Tian to read the last few volumes, and Li Tian put on the curtain.

Hat, Yueniang and Yue Niang went around to the side door and got in the car, heading back to the capital.

After walking for more than two quarters of an hour from Fatai Temple, Yue Niang lifted up the car curtain and poked her head in. She sighed heavily before saying, "That idiot is catching up with me." Li Tian turned around, raised the car curtain behind her, and was within a shot of the car.

On the ground, Ding Qi, dressed in a gorgeous pink gown, kept waving his whip on his horse, chasing after him as fast as a spark of fire.

"Break the horse's legs." Li Tian put down the car curtain, with a cold expression and a trace of cruelty, and ordered Yue Niang very simply. Yue Niang laughed briskly, got out of the car, and selected a suitable piece from the side of the road.

holding the stone, he squinted his eyes slightly and stared at Ding Qi, who was running towards him. He picked the right moment and threw the stone in his hand like a meteor.

Without any surprise, the stone hit the forelegs of the galloping horse under Ding Qi's crotch. The horse neighed in pain and raised its front legs high, pushing the exhausted Ding Qi under the horse.

When he fell, he threw himself forward and fell to the ground. Unfortunately, Ding Qi was pushed behind him by the horse, otherwise the horse would have crushed him half to death when he fell to the ground.

Ding Qi was thrown and screamed again and again. The boy behind him was so frightened that he jumped off the horse and dragged Ding Qi up with his arms. Ding Qi covered his butt with both hands and howled loudly. Fortunately, this road was very busy with people.

, several young men begged for money, and finally borrowed a car from a caravan, put Ding Qi in the car, and hurried into the city to seek treatment from a doctor with a bruise.

The first performance of Yuan Xiucai's new play was scheduled to be performed at the Peony Pavilion in Wazi, Sangjia. Starting from the first seven or eight days, posters with detailed descriptions were posted all over the city. Shopkeeper Wang also used money in various tabloids to send gifts.

In the past, every tabloid had all kinds of true or false news about Yuan Xiucai's new drama and Yao Xianxian and others every day. This tabloid and the imperial newspaper were both top-notch in the capital.

It is a must-see thing for everyone. In just two or three days, this new drama has become the biggest news on the streets of the capital. This drama was written by Yuan Xiucai, and the male protagonists are played by Yao Xianxian and Zhou Yilang.

It’s not the most talked-about thing, but the most talked-about thing that makes people want to crane their necks to watch the excitement or laugh is the price of the theater, which is actually ten taels of silver per person! Such a price is simply worth it.

This is unprecedented.

Li Tian, ​​dressed in a light blue dress, sat with Lin Ke and Yu Yaofang under the eaves of the Qingtong Courtyard, drinking tea, eating snacks and chatting. Lin Ke kicked up his legs, raised his hands, stretched out his waist and said with emotion: "Spring is so good! I am.

I love spring the most!”

"I like it if I like it, why are you still gritting your teeth?" Li Tian laughed, Lin Ke pointed at Yu Yaofang and said bitterly: "It's her! I said before that I like spring the most, and she laughed at me and said that all the lively and bright things

I like everything, but she thinks I’m tacky!”

"I didn't say you were tacky." Yu Yaofang pursed her lips and smiled and waved her hands. Lin Ke straightened up and shouted, "You said I don't like anything that is simple and elegant. Don't you just mean that I'm tacky!"

"Then you like simple and elegant things?" Li Tian looked at Lin Ke and asked. Lin Ke was depressed for a moment, but still shook his head: "I just don't like it."

"If you don't like it, don't like it. If you like it, you just like it. Haven't you heard what the saint said? Great wisdom is like foolishness, great skill is like clumsiness, and great vulgarity is elegance. You just like what you like. No matter what Yaoyao says, she still thinks we are uneducated.

Well, let’s just go with our hearts, it’s true celebrities who are romantic!” Li Tian laughed, Lin Ke clapped his hands repeatedly and said, “That’s what it means! Do you hear me? I am an elegant person, a true celebrity! Huh!” Lin Ke!

Proudly, she raised her chin and said "hum" to Yu Yaofang. Yu Yaofang laughed and fell on the rocking chair. She nodded and asked Li Tianxiao: "When did the saint say that vulgarity is elegance? How come I haven't seen it before?"

"How many books have you read? Tiantian, let's ignore her. Speaking of this lively thing, the most lively thing in the capital these days, have you heard about it? A scholar named Yuan, who wrote a play, unexpectedly

We have to sell each person for ten taels of silver, but there are still people buying it." Lin Ke's topic and interest changed very quickly.

Yu Yaofang didn't answer, she just looked at Li Tian. Li Tian smiled and said, "Anyway, someone is willing to buy it. I can still sell it cheaply for ten taels of silver."

"Eh!" Lin Ke's eyebrows almost flew out in surprise: "You sold it cheap...is that drama yours?"

"Well," Li Tian nodded affirmatively, and Lin Ke jumped up: "How can you rehearse a show? How can you do such a business? That is a lowly industry, you are a noble girl, and you are a young lady who has not left home.
