When we returned to the post house, the sky was filled with colorful clouds.
Xu Si looked at the empty house and couldn't help but worry: "Where has Mr. Yan gone? I am unfamiliar with the place here, so he must not cause trouble."
After knowing each other for such a long time, she finally understood. It's no wonder that Young Master Yan is chasing his sister. They both have the same character, they are bold and dare to do anything and offend anyone.
The situation in Dongjiang is complicated. Someone is sharpening his sword secretly. With his status, if something happens, it will cause turmoil for all parties.
"Jiangdu is prosperous and completely different from Guanzhong. Young Master Yan is not allowed to go out for fun." Xu Yin replied casually and went back to change clothes.
Seeing that she didn't care at all, Xu Si shook his head and went back to the house.
It’s been a very tiring day to meet the princess first and then visit the maternal family.
When she came out again, Yan Ling had already returned and was surrounding Xu Yin to offer treasures.
"This is called raw pan-fried buns. Put the raw buns in the pot, add oil and water and slowly fry them. When the water dries, they are ready. Isn't it interesting? I watched the master make it with my own eyes. I brought it as soon as it came out of the pan. Take advantage of it.
Eat hot."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Ji ran in sweating profusely, holding a huge bowl in his hand: "Master, here we come!"
Yan Ling stood up to pick it up, put it in front of Xu Yin, and opened the lid himself. The bowl was filled with crushed ice piled up like a snow mountain, with layers of sliced fruits on top, and red sauce poured over it. It was so beautiful.
"There is a cold drink shop across the street. They say this is called assorted ice bowl. It was passed down from Beijing. It has milk and jam in it. It's delicious."
When Xu Si heard this, he couldn't help but say: "It's hot and cold at the same time. If you eat it for a while, you won't worry about stomachache."
Xu Yin stood up: "Sister."
Yan Ling was caught by her, secretly feeling guilty, and hurriedly came over to show her courtesy: "Miss Xu, this is reserved for you."
Before Xu Si said anything, Xu Ze came out: "There's something to eat! Just in time, I didn't even use my chopsticks at the table. Give me..."
"No." Before he could finish speaking, Yan Ling quickly took away the plate of fried buns, "Brother Xu, are you hungry? It happens that the post office is about to open dinner, so just ask them to bring it."
Xu Ze was so angry that he stamped his feet and shouted: "Why do you treat them differently? Both the eldest sister and the third sister are there, but I am not?"
Yan Ling looked at him in surprise: "How do I know that Brother Xu, a man, likes snacks like a girl? You should have told me earlier, I will bring it to you next time."
After being blocked by him, Xu Ze admitted that it was not the case. He was unwilling to admit it, so he could only glare bitterly and turned to eat.
Seeing this scene, the Xu sisters couldn't help laughing. Xu Yin raised his head and said, "Why do you always go against my eldest brother? He doesn't care about you, does he?"
Yan Ling denied: "No way, I really didn't expect it."
Who told Mr. Xu to act like a staid old master? He would be on guard when he saw him coming.
Xu Si ate two fried dumplings and then went back to his house to drink tea to relieve his appetite.
Yan Ling waited for Xu Yin to slowly finish the ice bowl, then lowered his voice and said, "Would you like to go out for a walk in the evening?"
Xu Yin raised his eyebrows, why did the word "visit" sound a bit weird?
Yan Ling smiled and said, "You guys are going to the palace today. I walked around for a while and found some interesting things."
Interesting stuff? Xu Yin nodded: "Okay!"
…
It was getting dark, and Li Da dressed up and went out.
The familiar guard asked: "Second Young Master, are you still going out so late?"
Li Da smiled and replied: "I made an appointment with someone to go to the river to listen to the tide."
The guard had no doubt that he had it: "I see. The second young master still has to come back early. There have been a lot of moves in Jiangbei recently, so I'm worried that some spies could sneak in."
Li Da agreed: "Okay, I'll be back at the end of the day."
He took the boy into the car and drove to the river.
On the way, the carriage stopped, and a voice came from inside: "Mom wants to eat Xiankeju's cloud cake, but it's so popular that I can't buy it. You go there and wait. I'll come back to pick you up after the poetry meeting."
"yes."
A boy jumped out of the carriage.
The carriage continued to move forward and soon disappeared. The boy got into the alley, but did not go to Xiankeju. He turned left and right, passed through alleys, and finally entered an inconspicuous teahouse.
"Brother," the shopkeeper greeted him, "are you here to get tea for the master? Please go inside and wait a moment."
The boy agreed and entered the box.
No one else saw it, but there was actually someone in the room. A young lady with a round face and thin eyebrows was slowly sipping tea. When she saw him coming, the girl standing behind her bowed her head and bowed, and then exited with the shopkeeper.
.
After the door was closed, the young lady said mockingly: "Second Young Master, you dare to come out dressed like this. Are you too cowardly?"
The boy raised his head, and what was revealed was Li Da's face.
He laughed, sat down in front of Miss Wei Fourth, and said: "Sail the Wannian Ship carefully. After picking up Miss Xu, the elder brother became even more careful. If he finds out at this moment, wouldn't it be a failure?"
"
Miss Wei Si didn't answer, she just pushed the tea cup, which was regarded as acquiescing to his approach.
"Thank you." Li Da drank it all in one gulp.
"Why did you invite me here?"
"I'm asking if you have thought about it."
Miss Wei Si lowered her head, with a look of sadness in her eyes. What else had she not thought about? When Miss Xu came, everyone was cold to her. I heard that the princess had rewarded her with many things today, including those she had cherished previously.
All the white fox skins were given to Miss Xu, and he didn’t even take care of his own niece.
Previously, she had a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that the princess was unlikely to like Miss Xu. Now that even this has come to nothing, what hope does she have?
"The prince is smart and capable, and Governor Yang is here. Is the second young master thinking too much?" she said.
Li Da laughed. This was an agreement.
He said: "Captain Yang is in the camp along the river and will not come back for the time being. When he comes back, the overall situation has been decided, what can we do? The Li family's heirs are in trouble, who else can I choose besides me?"
"And the Third Young Master..." Fourth Miss Wei was a little unwilling and couldn't help but find fault with him, "Captain Yang can't rub sand in his eyes, he won't bear it."
Li Da didn't take it seriously: "So we have to be quick. As long as things are certain, we can recruit Yang Gu back. Once he enters Jiangdu, he is not a piece of fish on the chopping board. Let me cut him."
Are you trying to trick Yang Gu back and kill him? Miss Wei Si was frightened. Yang Gu commanded the troops and horses of Dongjiang and had a great reputation. He was the most trusted subordinate of the King of Dongjiang. This was deeply rooted in the hearts of Dongjiang people. I didn't expect him to be so courageous.
She calmed down and thought about it, and looked at the young man in front of her with admiration: "Second Young Master is really brave. Governor Yang is such a hero. Are you sure you can do it?"
Is this a test of his strength? Li Da smiled and tapped the tea bowl: "Actually, your Wei family is not important to me. There is already an important person beside my uncle... But for the sake of Wei Si
Miss, it is for your sake that I will invite you multiple times."
The fourth Miss Wei was shocked when she heard this. Is it the person around the prince? Lu Changshi? If so, this is really possible.
She thought about it and finally gritted her teeth and said, "What does the Second Young Master want from me?"
