Chapter 408： If you show your love for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing!

Chapter 408: Showing love for nothing is either adultery or theft!

Everyone lowered their heads and followed the **** who led the way into the palace.

Today's imperial palace was rebuilt from the original palace. It is naturally not as grand as Kyoto, but it does not lack the royal atmosphere, showing wealth and generosity everywhere.

At this time of year, the autumn harvest has just ended and winter is about to begin. Not to mention that the people are going into winter, and there are no major events in the court.

Except for two censors who had a few quarrels over trivial matters, no one else came forward.

Thus, the great court meeting, which was held once every ten days, ended hastily.

Li Laoer followed Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng out of the palace gate. He wanted to go to the restaurant, but several false officials who had been standing together chased him.

"Uncle, uncle! We feel like old friends when we meet today, but we don't want to be separated like this. If uncle is not busy, would you like to find a place with us to have a few drinks and chat a few words?"

Without waiting for Li's second response, they robbed Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng.

“Master Wen and Master Liu won’t stop you, right? You both have serious errands to be busy with, but we don’t. We just want to get close to my uncle.”

Mr. Wen looked at Li Laoer, and when he saw him nodding slightly, he smiled and said, "This is my first time to go to court. I am not familiar with anything, so I will just say a few words. In the future, I will have a few adults to help me." You can rest assured.”

"Well, thank you Mr. Wen, let's go first." A few people smiled, surrounded Li Laoer, got into a luxurious carriage, and left quickly.

Others naturally saw it and just smiled.

Liu Zhiheng was really worried, "Mr. Wen, should I remind my uncle? Those people are not good people! Especially the young minister Chu Heng, the foreign minister Zhang Jian, the famous drunkard, and the dandy. . There is no good in being friendly with them!"

But Mr. Wen didn't care and said with a smile, "These people came to my uncle on his first day in court. They obviously have no good intentions. My uncle is so smart, how could he not know about it? I went with them just to spy on them. Just the true intention.

“Don’t worry, my uncle will not suffer any loss. Besides, Ye Shan is following me, so even if something happens, it will be enough to protect my uncle and come out safely.”

Liu Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief, "So, the Marquis has made arrangements?"

"I don't know," Mr. Wen shook his head and said with a smile, "But whatever Ye Shan knows, the Marquis will definitely know. If the uncle suffers a loss, the Marquis will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it."

The two of them said a few words and then dispersed.

Besides, Li Laoer got on the carriage with a group of new friends. After everyone knew their names and official positions, they began to call each other brothers and sisters, joking all the way to an alley in the west of the city.

The alley looks very ordinary, and there are no red lanterns hanging in front of each house. It is obviously not a place for secret prostitution.

Chu Shaoqing knocked on the door of a familiar house and was welcomed in by a woman in her thirties.

There is the aroma of food in the yard, and the decoration is very elegant and quiet.

It turns out this is a private restaurant!

Chu Shaoqing pulled Li Laoer and introduced him, "Uncle, this is a place where we usually drink. It's quiet and the food tastes good. We've been standing in court for so long, and we're already hungry. Let's relieve our stomachs together." ”

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Brother Qin. Such a good place, you can feel full just by looking at the scenery without eating, it's really good." Li Laoer smiled and complimented, and Chu Shaoqing and others laughed.

Even the landlady was trembling with laughter, "Hey, this gentleman calls me uncle. Is he the newly promoted Zhongshan uncle in Kyoto?"

"Yes, boss lady, tell the cooks to show off their skills today. Uncle Li also has a restaurant at home, be careful of being disliked and ruining your brand." Zhang Jian and others also made noises, and led Li Lao Er in with a smile. Room.

The landlady quickly called the maid to serve tea and snacks, and then went to the kitchen to set up things.

Everyone was talking around Li Laoer, and their words were full of temptations.

Hello, has Mr. Hou been busy recently? Have you returned to Suijintan? Liu Zhiheng joined the Department of Agriculture and Forestry. How will we distribute and plant next year’s improved seeds?

Li Laoer pretends to be stupid when he needs to, and when he pretends to be crazy, he perfectly interprets the image of a country bumpkin who suddenly stands in a high position and looks bright on the outside but weak on the inside.

Everyone looked down upon him in their hearts, but on the surface they were still smiling and complimenting him.

Soon, the food was served and everyone began to eat and drink.

Li Laoer was not polite and tasted all the dishes. There were indeed some outstanding ones, but the taste was not amazing.

 Thinking about it carefully, if there were few people in the world who tasted really good, they would have opened a restaurant long ago. How could they make such a small amount of money in a small alley?

Everyone didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that he ate a lot, they became even more contemptuous of him for not having seen the world.

After dinner and tea, a charming woman carried the guqin into the house and played it for everyone to enjoy.

The woman was probably curious about this new guest, Li Laoer, and kept glancing at him again and again.

It's a pity that Li Laoer was more interested in the tea bowl in his hand and didn't respond at all.

Seeing this, Chu Shaoqing waved his hand vaguely to the landlady outside the door.

So, a few maids in cool clothes came in to pour tea in exchange for snacks, and sat down next to everyone.

The maid next to Li Laoer is not very beautiful, but has a bit of Xiaojiabiyu's charm. She pours tea and holds the cup with her bare hands.

When Li Laoer took it, she seemed to be careless and scratched Li Laoer's palm with her fingers.

Li Laoer was startled. As soon as he let go of his hand, the tea cup fell on his lap, and the tea soaked his robe.

Li Laoer quickly stood up and shouted, "Oh, this is an official uniform, it can't be dirty!"

Chu Shaoqing called to the landlady, "Take Uncle Li to change into a long gown! I have two new ones here. Please choose one of them, Uncle Li."

After saying that, he joked with the maid again, "Chuntao, you must be responsible for the trouble you caused! Go and serve Uncle Li. If you don't serve him well, we can't forgive you if he refuses to calm down."

The maid blushed and quickly asked Mr. Li to go out.

Li Laoer didn't seem to understand the key to this. He raised his hands with everyone and said, "Everyone, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

“Hahaha, uncle, it doesn’t matter if you slow down!”

“That’s it, uncle, enjoy yourself, we are not in a hurry.”

“Chuncao is a very good girl, let her take good care of my uncle.”

Zhang Jian and the others were laughing and joking. Seeing Li Laoer go out, they slowly stopped laughing. They hugged the maid next to them, drank tea and waited, but they felt a secret happiness in their hearts that they couldn't explain.

Isn’t it said inside and outside Xindu that the Li family values ​​affection and righteousness? Doesn’t it mean that the Li family is lucky? Doesn’t it mean that the Li family is valued by the emperor?

After all, the Li family are human beings too. They don’t even have a hundred years of wealth and wealth. They have no family to rely on. They are just a bunch of bumpkins. How can they be so special?

Look, it only took a few words to trick her into going out to eat, and a random woman hooked her fingers and fell into gentleness again!

From now on, it’s hard to say whether Uncle Li will be worse than the mud they don’t have on the wall!
