Chapter 397

As soon as the voice fell, there was a faint snore of uneven breathing in the bedroom.

The two servants dropped their hands and returned to the Baoxia.

In the room, the king of Yan on the bed opened his eyes. The bottom of his eyes was clear and bright, and there was no sign of drunkenness.

The boy took a dark blue robe and silently held it in front of the Yan king.

The king of Yan got up to dress and whispered to the boy, "let people change tea every half an hour."

The boy should be in good shape.

The night in early summer is still cool. Once the window is pushed open, there is a cool wind to disperse the wine smell in the house.

Seeing the figure outside the window soon disappeared into the night, the boy closed the two carved windows very gently.

……

After leaving the palace, Xu Mingyi changed into men's clothes in the carriage, asked ah Kui to help dismantle the bun and tie a dark cyan ribbon on his head.

Out of self-consciousness, ah Kui wanted to change into a little girl's dress, but she was stopped by her own girl: "you don't have to follow the past -"

Although the next events and situations have not been clearly predicted, King Yan is a martial artist. If you need to follow each other at that time, it is undoubtedly very inconvenient to take ah Kui with you.

Ah Kui didn't ask much. She nodded and said, "the maid is waiting for the girl to come back."

He drove a little further. When he passed an alley, the coachman stopped his carriage.

Xu Mingyi pulled up the curtain and looked forward. He saw that the car driven by Xiao Qi stopped first. It seemed to her that Xiao Qi jumped off the shaft seat and raised his hand to salute her.

Xu Mingyi got off the carriage and walked over.

The car curtain was hit from the inside, and soon a big hand stretched out - under the dark blue narrow sleeve, the young man's palm was clear, slender and white, which was very beautiful.

Without hesitation, Xu Mingyi helped the hand into the carriage.

The curtain fell behind her.

There was only Wu Tsui in the car. Xu Mingyi sat down opposite him. In addition to melons and fruits, there were also several plates of pastry on the small table in the middle.

Xu Mingyi recognized what the pastry was and asked, "you just stopped in the street and asked Xiao Qi to buy these?"

Wu Tsung gave a "um" and said, "I bought it for you. It's the last one tonight. It's just released. It's not cold yet. Try it quickly."

While talking, he handed over a folded white cotton handkerchief.

Xu Mingyi subconsciously took it over. The cotton handkerchief was wet. She wiped her hands carefully.

After wiping his left and right hands, he ate together.

"Is it delicious?"

Wu Tsung asked with a smile.

Xu Mingyi nodded. It was inconvenient for her to speak because of something in her mouth. She pointed to the rest of the plate in order to let him taste it.

Wu Tsung glanced at the in her hand and felt that the situation was different from what was said in the book - shouldn't he hand over his piece and let him have a try?

"I ate it before."

Wu Tsui didn't taste the dessert in the plate. He just raised his hand, poured a hot tea and sent it to her: "drink water."

The movement was faster than consciousness. Xu Mingyi, holding dessert in his right hand, leaned slightly and took a sip of the tea in his hand.

Wu Tsui was stunned. Immediately, a smile appeared in his eyes and handed the tea lamp closer——

"The temperature is suitable. Have another drink."

Xu Mingyi drank some more and ate the last bite of pastry.

Not long after, the carriage stopped slowly.

Xiao Qi's voice rang out: "young master, Miss Xu, here we are."

here we are?

Xu Mingyi moved quickly and got off the carriage first.

The jade boy in the car still sat straight. He looked down at the tea lamp he always held in his right hand. He put the tea lamp in front of him and tasted it.

It's really good tea

The young man raised his mouth slowly.

"Wu Chiu?"

Seeing that the man didn't follow him, Xu Mingyi shouted to the car in doubt.

In the car, the smile on the corner of the young man's mouth was immediately put away. Like a guilty thief, he quickly put down the tea lamp, coughed, straightened his clothes and robes, and got out of the carriage.

"Where is this?"

Xu Mingyi looked around and asked him.

Growing up in Beijing, she likes to run around like a skin monkey. Naturally, she knows that this is Guangning street. In fact, what she wants to ask is why she came here.

"Go to Pingqing hall." Wu Tsui turned and walked forward, and said to her, "it's more convenient to walk."

If the carriage stops near the Pingqing hall, it will undoubtedly reveal its whereabouts.

"Pingqing hall?" Xu Mingyi followed him two steps and asked in a low voice: "... Will Uncle Wu and his highness King Yan meet here?"

"I guess it's mostly here."

Guess?

I thought he had inquired or overheard something in advance, but he guessed it?

Xu Mingyi couldn't help looking at him curiously: "how did you guess?"

This Pingqing restaurant is not an ordinary place to go.

As far as she knows, this is one of the most famous teahouses in Beijing. Its layout is exquisite and elegant. It is a favorite place for writers and scholars. There are often great literary Confucians who set up poetry clubs here to meet friends through literature.

Although it's evening at this time, there must be few guests, but the shopkeeper in the teahouse must have trained a good eye. Isn't Uncle Wu afraid to be recognized when he comes here?

"Like Xuesheng teahouse, Pingqing hall is owned by the Wu family -" Wu Tsui said frankly.

It's just that the two places play different roles.

Hearing this simple and straightforward answer, which was not only rich and generous, Xu Mingyi couldn't help being silent for a moment.

The Pingqing hall, where the literati gathered, was also owned by the Wu family——

A few years ago, her second uncle often came.

I don't know if my second uncle said anything unfriendly to the Wu family when he was drunk. If he said it, he could be sent out completely, which is also the embodiment of the store's enough care for the brand's reputation

While they were talking, they had come outside the Pingqing hall.

Glancing at the sign above his head, Xu Mingyi hesitated and asked in a low voice, "let's go in directly?"

If the guy turns around and tells Uncle Wu that Wu Tsun is there, can he still hear what he wants to hear?

"No harm."

Wu Tsung seems to have plans.

Xu Mingyi didn't ask any more, but walked in behind him.

At this time, there were few guests in the evening. In the hall, only two men in long clothes sat there drinking tea, sighing and shaking their heads from time to time. They didn't know whether they had failed to meet their talents or were disappointed with the current political situation. It was clear that there was a pot of green tea in front of them, but they also drank wine to drown their worries.

Such two people have no mind to pay attention to Wu Tsui who came in.

The man who came up saw Wu tsugamu. An accident flashed through his eyes. He immediately returned to normal. He smiled and said, "how can you come here in time?"

It looks like a regular guest.

"When you pass by here, come in and have a seat." Wu Tsui glanced around inadvertently, and said to his accomplice, "don't mention it to my father about my coming tonight."

Man, I was stunned.

Don't talk to the son of God?

Why

In doubt, the man keenly caught his grandson's sight and looked around.

The "childe" around him was a little uncomfortable and hid behind Shisun. His black eyes flashed and hid, and he felt a sense of tension that there was no place to put them.

The man's eyes flickered and his heart was like a mirror.

Got it, got it!

Who hasn't been young yet?

"Yes, everyone knows that villains must keep their mouth shut."

The man immediately led the man to the back yard, "it's clean and elegant. It's just suitable for two CHILDES to talk about poetry..."

Different from ordinary teahouses, the backyard here is the most elegant place. It is planted with green bamboo, flowers and plants, and has three or five elegant rooms, each with its own delicacy. On weekdays, guests are not allowed in.

But Xu Mingyi knew there were other reasons why the man took her and Wu Tsung to the elegant room in the backyard.

The waiter led them to the elegant room and soon arranged the tea and snacks.

Finally, I don't know where to hold a thin necked white jade bottle. There are several seasonal flowers in the bottle. Wu Tsui can't help but feel that nine times out of ten they are still picked and inserted now

The waiter put down the vase, looked at Xu Mingyi standing in front of the bookcase, lowered his voice, smiled with his childe and said, "we have elegant and clean here, good scenery, good tea and snacks, and easy to talk. Childe can bring friends often in the future..."

In a word, it's much better than the snow teahouse!

Pay attention to the official account: Book Club headquarters, focus on sending cash and coins!

But Shouming showed off to them intentionally or unintentionally all day, saying that the childe would go to Xuesheng teahouse to sit around every three or five times, but they were jealous of the people in Pingqing hall. At that time, they made up their mind that they had better not give them a chance to behave in front of the childe, otherwise they would make the childe understand what is really considerate and considerate.

Listening to these words full of infighting, er Yu and my fraud, Wu Chiu only "um" and said, "don't worry about anything else. Go out first. You don't have to come in if you have nothing to do."

The man answered "yes" knowingly and walked out with a smile.

As soon as the door was closed by the waiter from the outside, Xu Mingyi put back the book in his hand, turned back, lowered his voice and asked Wu Tsui, "when you were in the lobby just now, did you see that there was an elegant room on the second floor with a light on?"

"Yes, the door is open, which means that the person hasn't arrived yet. He should have kept it in advance -"

That's why the man didn't take them to the second floor.

Xu Mingyi said, "it seems that you are probably right."

The king of Yan was drunk in the palace today. She and Wu Tsung speculated that this might be to hide people's eyes and ears, and took this opportunity to meet Wu Shizi.

On the Empress Dowager's birthday, the emperor also drank wine, and most of his mind was on the Dragon heir in the belly of Princess Jing. Tonight is undoubtedly a good opportunity for the king of Yan.

But all this is just her and Wu Tsung's assumption. Whether the king of Yan will leave the house or come here after leaving the house is still unknown.

At present, however, it seems that we are 70% sure.

"We must go to the elegant room first -" Wu Tsung got up from his chair.

Xu Mingyi nodded, left the elegant room with him, and closed the door gently.

"You should be able to sneak in from here."

When they came to the backyard with unique furnishings, Xu Mingyi pointed to a rockery not far in front.

Wu Tsung looked up.

It seems that it is inevitable to turn the window and enter the house on your own site.

"Afraid of heights?" he asked.

"I'm not afraid -"

How can you be afraid of this two-story building when the city walls have been up?

When Xu Mingyi was eager to try, he felt that his waist was lightly held——

The boy stepped on the rockery and took her to the porch under the window lattice of the lighted elegant room.

Aware that the man holding his hand loosened, Xu Mingyi pressed down his pounding mood and took the lead in turning into the house.

The boy propped himself on the window frame with one hand and immediately turned in easily and neatly.

This elegant room is very spacious. It is separated by a curtain. The outer room is where people drink tea and meet friends, and the inner room is equipped with a low couch for people to rest.

"It seems that my father is coming -"

Looking at the incense burner with a few wisps of light green smoke on the small table, Wu Chiu said firmly, "the incense in this stove is my father's favorite incense."

Although his father loved incense, he didn't like it too strong. He always opened the window to disperse the aroma. It was called "Qingfeng Xixiang" - leaving only a wisp of light incense was most suitable for him.

"Let's go to the next room -"

So far, Xu Mingyi has completely determined what to do tonight. Nothing else, just eavesdropping.

Wu Tsung nodded.

However, when they were trying to leave, they suddenly heard footsteps upstairs.

They looked at each other and saw four words from each other's eyes - it's too late!

Even if you turn the window to go out, the window of the elegant room next door is closed, and you can't hide in immediately. Once you can't find a good hiding place now, it must be very difficult to get close to it without being noticed by the king of Yan.

It's not difficult to turn the window and leave directly, but what they want is not to get out——

In a hurry, Xu Mingyi suddenly took Wu Cui's hand and ran quickly to the inner room behind the curtain.

Just now she glanced at it and remembered that there was a cabinet in it!

In a hurry, he caught sight of the cabinet. Without saying a word, Xu Mingyi quickly opened the cabinet door and pushed Wu Tsui in first.

In this case, there is no time to discuss. If you want to cooperate with tacit understanding without making mistakes, one party can only let the other party arrange, and Wu Tsui is also willing to be arranged by her so that she can be stuffed into the cabinet.

After putting Wu Chiu in, Xu Mingyi immediately bent and drilled in.

The visitor was brought in by the waiter. When the door of the elegant room was closed, the two cabinet doors were OK, but they were completely closed under Xu Mingyi's hand.

This vermilion lacquer wardrobe is not small. It can accommodate two people at the same time, but it still looks much smaller.

Xu Mingyi, the late comer, almost shrank into Wu Tsui's arms.

Wu Tsung's heart was like beating a drum. He felt that it was too rude and offensive, and it really made him unable to calm down, so he quietly moved and adjusted one or two.

But how to adjust it, the space is really limited. Finally, although the two people occupy one side of the cabinet face to face, Xu Mingyi still can only hide in front of him because of the tall and tall body of the young man. In order to maintain the balance of the cabinet, Wu Tsui needs to hold one hand on the cabinet wall behind her.

At this moment, Xu Mingyi doesn't care about these, but listens to the movement outside.
