I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Changsun Wuji didn't take the wine glass, but asked in a brisk tone: "Qingque, do you need uncle's help?"

Li Tai looked at the wine glass, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head: "It's just a small matter, Qing Que can handle it by himself."

Only then did Changsun Wuji take the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Li Tai called the dancer to come in, played music, and danced!
the next day.

Zhou Xiaosan is in the courtyard of Huaizhen Square.

Since Yang left Jiaosifang that day, she has been staying at Zhou Xiaosan's house. Yang doesn't want to live at Yin Xuan's house—although she has never seen Yin Xuan's house.

But she has seen many princes and nobles' homes, deep houses and large courtyards, and they are not at all comfortable to live in.

Zhou Xiaosan also wanted Yang to live closer to him.

After Zhou Xiao's three court meetings were over, he hurried back to see Mrs. Yang.

Yang's complexion improved a lot, at least he ate well, drank well, and slept well these few days, and he didn't have to work so hard, at least his cheeks were rosy.

But... decades of torment, how can it be recovered after a few days of recuperation.

"How do you feel today?" Zhou Xiaosan asked with concern, the light in his eyes became a little bit stronger.

When he first met Yang Shi, he felt that Yang Shi was going to die.

Now... Although there is no difference in appearance from that day, at least there is a feeling of being alive.

Yang waved his hand, and when he spoke, his voice was still hoarse: "Today, Xiao Qi asked someone to send me a message."

Zhou Xiaosan froze for a moment.

He recalled who Xiaoqi was, she was a girl in the priest's workshop, she used to prefer death to surrender, but... she didn't survive three months of that inhuman life, and then went to the brothel.

"Wei Wang Li Tai and Changsun Wuji met in the brothel yesterday, and they dismissed others in the middle, and talked for about seven or eight minutes."

Zhou Xiaosan frowned slightly: "Eldest sister, you don't have to worry about these things, just rest and recuperate."

Yang shook her head: "My body is not so delicate anymore."

"Besides, isn't Changsun Wuji the person your Dalang wants to deal with the most? He has conspired with the King of Wei, so he must take precautions."

Zhou Xiaosan nodded, and helped Yang to sit down: "I see, I'll go talk to Da Lang later."

Yang sighed, and after sitting down, she was silent for a while, then clenched her fists: "Do you recognize the mage of Xuanduguan?"

Zhou Xiaosan shook his hand while pouring tea, and nodded hesitantly: "Yes, elder sister is asking for something?"

Yang said softly: "I plan...to become a monk in the future."

Zhou Xiaosan stared round and looked over.

"If it weren't for Jiu'er, I would have no hope in this world." Yang forced a smile and explained, "Besides, you are now the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and you will be able to become a general in the future..."

Zhou Xiaosan shook his head: "It's just a servant."

"Da Lang just needs it, but he doesn't have to."

Yang said softly: "What does it mean to be just a servant, this is something that many people can't dream of."

"I'm just a cheapie now."

"Even if she loses her humble status, she's nothing more than a decaying willow."

Zhou Xiaosan had something in his heart, he was silent for a while, then nodded: "I know some mages in Xuandu Guan, and I will send you there when my eldest sister recovers."

Saying that, he paused.

"If elder sister is willing, I have saved some money over the years, and I will repair one for you in Huaizhenfang?"

“Also close to restaurants.”

Mrs. Yang declined politely: "You are a servant now, I heard... Your Dalang doesn't like these gods and ghosts very much?"

Zhou Xiaosan paused and sighed.

Yang went on to say: "Besides, Xuandu Temple is just next door to Huaizhenfang, and it's very close. It's a good thing for me to take a walk now."

Zhou Xiaosan nodded silently, and told the maid to prepare meals.

He knew he couldn't keep Mrs. Yang.

I just didn't expect this day to come so soon.

After eating with Yang Shi, he went to the restaurant again and told Yin Xuan the news that Yang Shi had told him today.

After Yin Xuan listened, he was thoughtful and fell into silence: "About Li Tai, is there any new news from the court recently?"

Zhou Xiaosan hesitated, thinking about it: "There are rumors that after the Taixue is established, His Royal Highness Wei Wang will be the seat of offering sacrifices to the Taixue."

Taixue sacrificial wine?

Yin Xuan pondered for a while, and vaguely had a guess.

Li Tai felt that this was Li Shimin's distrust of him, so he wanted to ask Changsun Wuji for help, to get the support of the most powerful minister in the court, and to be closer to the throne?
And what Changsun Wuji needs...

It's against yourself.

Li Tai didn't have the guts to make a move on him, then he would know who Li Tai was going to make a move on.

Yin Xuan rolled his eyes, and his eyes fell back on Zhou Xiaosan: "You have to be more careful recently."

Zhou Xiaosan paused: "Da Lang, you mean...they are going to attack me?"

Yin Xuan nodded: "Li Tai is very cruel, if it was him, he might be running for your life."

"I'm going to Juzhou recently, but it's Ji Jishi's territory, and it's not easy for him to deal with me." Zhou Xiaosan thought for a while, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Ji Cishi refers to Ji Wen.

The first to work as a waiter in a restaurant.

He was also the first president of the Tongfu Academy. It is no exaggeration to say that although the relationship between Zhou Xiaosan and Ji Wen is not as good as it will be in the future, it can be said that two people wearing the same pair of trousers are not at all. Too much.

In addition, Wu Jue also has some operations in Juzhou.

Although Juzhou is remote, it is indeed safe.

"On the road?" Yin Xuan shook his head, and said cautiously, "Have you ever thought about what will happen if they fight on the road?"

Zhou Xiaosan said confidently, "I'll take the train."

Yin Xuan shook his head and sneered: "What about the train?"

It's not that there hasn't been a railway war, and there hasn't been any action against the railway, but... this doesn't mean that the railway is safe.

"Remove your rails, arrange gunpowder..."

"You can change your route by land or water, but you can't change your route when you get on the train."

Zhou Xiaosan's face twisted.

He took a deep breath and nodded: "Dalang, I know, I will be careful."

Yin Xuan lightly tapped the table: "Don't lose your life, there are not many golden nanmu coffins in Chang'an City."

Zhou Xiaosan laughed: "Even if they are buried with me, they are not qualified to use golden nanmu."

Yin Xuan scolded him with a smile.

half a month later.

Zhou Xiaosan told Li Shimin in court that he would leave for Juzhou in three days to continue investigating the case.

three days later.

The group watched helplessly as Zhou Xiaosan got on the train, which was going to Juzhou.

When... the train just left Yunzhou and passed Hebei Road.

The train ran over the tracks and exploded.
