Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 481 Mister and Xinghua Niang (Part [-])
Although the West Market is not as prosperous as the East Market, it is more lively than the East Market after nightfall.

Drinking with fists, fighting cock dice, amidst the hustle and bustle of people, even in the streets and alleys, you can see drunkards holding wine gourds, walking a step, shaking three times, and speaking incompletely, and occasionally one or two have already slumped in the alley and fell asleep soundly Whispering sporadic dreams.

It was a life of turmoil that was different from the sensuality of dogs and horses.

The newly opened restaurant is located in such an environment. It is said that it is a restaurant opened by a county king. It has a small shop and no lobby. There are some more expensive ones for one copper plate and one sea bowl, but most of them can be bought for fifteen or twenty copper plates.

Very down to earth.

Most of the time, His Royal Highness is not around. When you are lucky, you can also see him. He is wearing a blue gown and has nothing on his body. He looks no different from ordinary people who have worked hard for a day, except... ...the smell is not quite the same.Surprisingly close to the people and easy to talk, when he laughs, he looks a bit weak because of his weak body, but he is shy and easy to talk, and he is willing to bargain with him for a few copper coins.

Better talk than the shopkeeper.

Therefore, His Royal Highness, who is not popular in the court and is also a fake among the people, is very popular these days. The business of this restaurant is also booming unexpectedly. Until this time, there are still an endless stream of customers.There is no lobby, everyone stands at the door, and there are usually two or three circles of people in front of a table and chair. The neighbors and neighbors know each other and talk about family matters. It is no quieter than the boxing and drinking next door.

On the second floor where the window was half-closed, Li Yanxian stood in front of the window with a cup of tea in his hand, looked down at the cheerful people below, his expression was in a trance and lost his composure for a moment, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, just about to speak As soon as he spoke, he heard footsteps coming, he didn't knock on the door, and he didn't say hello, the little boy in black hurried over, walked to the table, handed over a piece of gold leaf, then took a step back, lowered his eyebrows Stand pleasing to the eye.

There are no candles in the room, and the only source of light is the moonlight coming in from the half-closed window, which is dim and dim, and only a vague outline of the furnishings in the room can be seen.The person at the table reached out to take the gold leaf, held it up in front of him and looked at it for a moment, then suddenly laughed "Jie Jie", the laughter was hoarse and unpleasant, he smiled, handed the gold leaf back, and said, "It seems that you met I'm in trouble..."

The hoarse voice, dragging the slow tone, is more like a kind of gloating.

Li Yan first turned around to look, trembling in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just cupped his hands, "If you have something urgent, sir, please do it yourself."

The black robe nodded and stood up, without saluting, and left calmly with his hands behind his back, but the young man from the golden leaf saluted Li Yan before leaving, and then trotted after him.Li Yan held the teacup and looked downstairs, which was facing the gate of the restaurant, but he waited for a while, but still did not see the man in black.

This man in black robe claimed to be surnamed Lin, and Li Yan first called him "Sir".

The gentleman found me more than a month ago. He brought a jar of apricot blossom wine. He said that he wanted to run a wine shop with him, but he couldn't show up because of his lack of looks. The prince was in a difficult situation, so he hit it off and opened it like this.

Mr. is well-read and knowledgeable, and he can always inadvertently hear some thought-provoking content in his usual speech, which is enlightening.The husband seldom talked about himself, and Li Yanxian seldom asked about it. He only saw that face once, so he couldn't ask any questions.

It must have been a particularly cruel past.

He stood in front of the window and looked at the bustling guests outside. Outside, it was raining heavily and the wind and thunder were furious. Even in this weather, the common people still insisted on holding the sea bowls and pouring them proudly bowl after bowl. Into the rainy drink.

One noisy, one quiet, one wine, one tea, one passionate, one cold.

A window apart, like two diametrically opposed worlds.

He lowered his head and took a sip of the tea. The tea was cold and had a bitter taste.Because of his health, he doesn't drink alcohol, so he usually likes such a sip of tea.That person likes wine, and he likes apricot flower wine. She said that the wine in Yanjing City is not good, it is more than strong, but has a short aftertaste... Li Yan remembered the apricot flower wine she said, but he had never drank it, and he didn't know How does the apricot flower brew that the husband brought out compare with the one she loves...

However, since then, he has memorized "Xinghua Niang", and he has a special preference for the word "Xinghua".

"Master, it's late at night...you should go back." Behind him, the servant softly persuaded.

Since the opening of this restaurant, His Royal Highness has often sat here for half a day. Although the imperial physicians said that going out and walking around is good for the Duke's health, they still dare not be negligent.

"Okay, let's go..." Li Yan replied in a low voice, and passed the tea cup behind him, and the servant took it with both hands.He looked at the guests below, with a lonely smile on his brows and eyes, "The royal family and nobles are so high above, so many people envy, yearn for, and dream of being among them. But in the end...we people, why don't we envy them? Because a bowl of ten-cent wine can make you laugh."

"Your Highness..." The servant behind him bowed even more, "Your Highness is so honorable, how can they be compared with His Highness?"

The more you hear these words, the more you can feel the perfunctory in them.Li Yan twitched the corners of his mouth first, the rainwater hit the window and splashed on his cheeks, the cold touch made him suddenly feel bored playing the piano with a cow, he smiled silently, and strode away with his hands behind his back.

……

On a dark and windy night, with lightning and thunder, and heavy rain, it is the time for committing crimes.

The black-robed man Lin Yi hurriedly left from Li Yanxian's restaurant, and went to the East Palace non-stop, and left quietly until it was about dawn.

Because of Shen Luoxin's relationship, Lin Yi actually didn't want to target the Ji family anymore. After all, Ji Wuyan was just a merchant's daughter, a woman... In this era, what she can do is really limited, so naturally it's impossible for her to be true. Get in his way.This guy Li Yuqi was spoiled by Zuo Xiang so much that he had no structure, fighting with a girl every day.

If this world falls into his hands, it will probably end.

Yunzhou Ji's family?I have heard it, and it is said that it can be regarded as the leading wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, but even so, it is a family of merchants, and it may be difficult to reach out to the court.How about selling face to Shen Luoxin...
