The days when I skipped school and opened a restaurant in ancient times
Chapter 19 Lychee Feast
In the private room, they were discussing weapons with Chi Muhan one after another, and both of them were obsessed with this.Chi Muhan talked a lot about the military camp, and he was so fascinated that he wanted to abandon literature and join the military on the spot.
Lianhua was talking about the local conditions and customs of Luojia Kingdom with the Xu family brothers and Song Zixiu, and the three of them listened very attentively.Marveling at the strange and mysterious land that Lianhua spoke of, yearning for the exotic customs and customs, even Song Zixiu wanted to go to Luojia country to have a look.
"If it's possible, I really want to go to Luojia Country to have a look."
I want to take a look at the river that Lianhua said is called "mother" by the people of Luojia country; set up tents at night, wrap in thick blankets, and enjoy the starry night sky; ride horses on the vast grassland, feel With the freedom and joy like an eagle soaring high...
When Xu Shuyu heard this, he quickly raised his hand to attract Song Zixiu's gaze, and said with a smile, "Then I will go with brother Zixiu. I want to see the burning clouds that dye the sky, it must be very touching."
Song Zixiu smiled slightly and said: "If there is a chance, we should go together."
Lianhua expressed her welcome, and pulled the gourd Xu Shuyuan, asking him to go too.
And Lu Yunnan had already dragged the girl to finish talking about the hundred ways to eat pigs, and now he started talking about cows.
But the girl didn't listen, she was reciting scriptures silently in her heart to drive away Lu Yunnan's whispering voice like a demon.Gu Chao listened very seriously, but halfway through Lu Yunnan's speech, he was really dizzy, fell into a deep sleep and fell forward.
Gu Chao stretched out his hand to block it, saving Lu Yunnan's forehead from touching the table.
Lu Yunnan lay his head on Gu Chao's hand and fell asleep directly. Gu Chao looked at the sleeping Lu Yunnan, lowered his eyes, and subconsciously hid his fluctuating emotions.
Xuan Yao was dressed in the costume of the Luojia Kingdom, and in the eyes of the people of Da Zhou, it could be said that it is better not to wear it than to wear it.Half-covered and half-exposed, half of the pectoral and abdominal muscles are exposed, and the golden breasts on the chest are eye-catching.
At this time, all the women in the private room surrounded Xuan Yao except for the two sitting next to Lu Yu.
The rose wine in the jade bottle is as bright as blood. Contrary to Lu Yunnan, Xuan Yao's alcohol capacity is very good.He drank a lot before he became slightly drunk.
Looking to one side with his blue eyes, Lu Yu was sitting upright talking about poetry and songs with the girls on his right.Xuan Yao looked at Lu Yu's profile for a long time, then walked to Lu Yu's side with a glass of wine in his hand.Sitting down, a lot of wine was spilled.
He smiled slightly at the girls around Lu Yu and said, "What's there to talk about about poetry? Let me tell you about eighteen ways to roll the dice."
Xuan Yao's face is full of exotic charm, and his blue eyes are as clear as water.He smiled flamboyantly and nicely, and with a slightly drunken voice, he narrated how to roll the dice skillfully.
Lu Yu picked up a glass of wine and drank it. He was not interested in rolling the dice.Turning around, he saw Lu Yunnan lying on the table and sleeping, still leaning on Gu Chao's hand.At this time, Gu Chao was staring at Lu Yunnan, his eyes were too focused.
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and his heart skipped a beat.He didn't know what Gu Chao was thinking, when he was keenly aware of the danger.Lu Yu wanted to take Lu Yunnan away first, but just as he wanted to get up, someone grabbed his wrist.
Xuan Yao leaned forward, his deep and handsome features magnified in Lu Yu's eyes.Like a drunken urchin, he pouted and accused Lu Yu unreasonably, "You want to leave? Is that why you don't want to listen to me?"
"Prince, you are drunk."
Lu Yu moved his wrist to signal the other party to let go.Xuan Yao didn't agree, and even increased his strength. He looked intently into Lu Yu's eyes, got a bad idea, and called Lu Yu rather lingeringly, "Brother."
There was a hook in this voice, which scared the normally serious Lu Hanlin into daring not to move.I was afraid that if I moved, I would be caught by this hook.
Lu Yu looked at Xuan Yao in disbelief, Xuan Yao was amused by Lu Yu's expression of seeing a ghost, so he called again out of nowhere, "Brother Lu."
He also asked Lu Yu with a look of confusion, "Why don't you talk?"
Before Xuan Yao said "Brother" for the third time, Lu Yu pinched the other's mouth with his hands.
Xuan Yao grimaced and let Lu Yu let go.
The handsome young man turned into a duckling with a shrunken mouth, and Lu Yu chuckled lightly because of his fleeting thought.Xuan Yao looked at Lu Yu's smile, but the touch of Lu Yu's fingertips around his mouth was infinitely magnified, and he even forgot to hum.
Seeing that the people were quiet, Lu Yu let go of his hand, "Your Highness is offended, but I can't afford to call you brother in the next junior official."
So please shut up.
Lu Yu said silently in his heart.
Xuan Yao didn't take it seriously, he leaned closer to Lu Yu and got close to him.He wanted to put his head on Lu Yu's shoulder, but because he was too close, the scent of rose wine exhaled from Xuan Yao's nose made Lu Yu frowned.
Lu Yu wanted to push Xuan Yao away, but Xuan Yao stopped him.He trapped Lu Yu's hands with astonishing strength, and Lu Yu couldn't break free at all.Lu Yu's jade-like face was reflected in Xuan Yao's blue eyes, "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep."
After saying that, he fell on Lu Yu's neck and shoulders, and Lu Yu could only let Xuan Yao lean his head on his shoulder and sleep with his eyes closed.
Lianhua was attracted by the movement here, and couldn't help frowning after seeing this scene.
Even a three-year-old child in Luojia country knows that his seventh brother likes men. Otherwise, with his intelligence and intelligence, his father would definitely be trained by his father as the next King of Luojia instead of being sent thousands of miles away What books do you read this week.
Lianhua looked at the jasper-like man who was being pestered by the seventh brother, and decided to find a chance to remind him.Don't be fooled by his seventh brother, his seventh brother is not a good person.
On the second day, Lu Yu faced up with two big dark circles under his eyes. His skin was fair, and those dark circles were particularly eye-catching.
When he was in court, his political opponents said something weird, to the effect that he was told to pay attention to his body, after all, he hadn't married a wife yet.
Even Gu Yunlan called him privately to ask why he was so haggard.
Lu Yu respectfully replied to the emperor's words, "Last night, I went to Chunyi Building with them and stayed all night. I rushed back to the mansion in the morning to freshen up and change clothes, and then came to court."
Gu Yunlan looked at Zhezi, smiled, and teased: "Yunzhong, it's time for you to marry a wife. If you have a wife at home, you will know how to go home early. It won't happen that you rush back to the house early, and you don't feel like you can't sleep. .”
Lu Yu lowered his head and said "hmm".
Seeing Lu Yu's lack of interest, Gu Yunlan no longer mentioned the matter of marrying a wife, and talked about the business, "The treasure ship will arrive in Beijing tomorrow, I want Lu Zhi to take a look at the treasure book this time. There is nothing useful. But in order to avoid attracting attention and causing trouble, you can only show it to him in private."
The previous soy products and oil have achieved remarkable results in improving people's livelihood. Liu Shuling, who is in charge of the brewing department, also regularly reports the progress of soy sauce, and everything is going well.
And Lu Yunnan's innovative cooking methods and ingredients also greatly improved the taste of the food.
Before Lu Yunnan used green peppers for cooking, they all thought they were ornamental plants.And the cows were killed and eaten because they couldn't cultivate the land, and they never thought of using their milk for food.
Lu Yu also knew why Gu Yunlan made this request, he didn't want to be blind again.I don't want to miss out on good things because I don't know them and don't understand their uses.
"I understand."
------
The Guozijian happened to be taking a rest today, and the young men who went to school fell asleep after returning to the mansion, but they didn't have to go to the school with dark circles like Lu Yu to attend lectures.
But at night, Lu Yunnan invited him to his house for a banquet.
In the Xingyue Pavilion, three plates of lychees were placed in front of everyone.Song Zixiu looked at the lychees in front of him, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"Yunnan, these lychees are the high-grade hanging greens, Chen Zi and Mi Zhi from the royal tribute. Where did you get so many?
Lu Yunnan sighed, if it wasn't because it was a royal tribute and the servants couldn't share the food, he wouldn't have worked so hard to eat these lychees, "Gu Chao sent someone to send them, there are too many to eat. Please help me out , It’s a pity that it’s broken.”
Xu Shuyu and Chi Muhan looked at each other and knew it was so.
Lu Yunnan settled down with his friends and went to the kitchen.Although there is a recipe written by himself, it is the first time for the cooks to make it. Lu Yunnan was afraid that it would be difficult to master the heat, so he decided to take a look.
Gu Chao didn't know which tendon was wrong, and immediately sent someone to deliver a large cart of lychees to Lu's mansion after returning to the palace.
When he woke up, he found himself surrounded by lychees.There are too many lychees in the room to eat, and it will spoil if you don't eat any more.
Each house in the mansion divided some, and Lu Yunnan brought some to the food street, planning to make a lychee feast.Let him soak the rest in lychee fruit wine, and only then did he carve up the lychee cart.
The lychee feast at this table has been busy for quite a while, besides the few members of the Guozijian who were dining in the Xingyue Pavilion, as well as the people from all the chambers of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they should also be ready to send someone to deliver it.
Lu Yunnan made a total of seven dishes, namely, lychee smoothie, lychee white fungus, red dates and lotus seed soup, lychee stewed chicken, lychee shrimp, lychee pork rib soup, lychee cake, lychee rose ice powder...
When the dishes came to the table, everyone was dumbfounded.Even if you think about it, you can't figure it out, this fruit can be used in dishes, and the smell is not bad.
Lychee stewed chicken uses rice twigs. The taste of rice twigs is extremely sweet, and the entrance is rich in lychee, which is waxy and smooth.The tender chicken is stewed with rice sticks. The chicken stew is crispy and lychee-flavored. The soup is very sweet and fragrant.As soon as the dish was served, the chicken was sliced clean.One of the two chicken legs was given to Lu Yunnan and the other to Lianhua.
In the eating and drinking room, Xu Shuyu looked at the ice powder and asked, "What's the name of this crystal clear one?"
Lu Yunnan said: "Lychee rose ice powder, the ice powder is made from stone flower seeds, try it."
The stone flower seeds used in the lychee rose ice powder were discovered by Lu Yunnan in Yoyo Valley. According to Meng Donglai, they were seeds from a treasure ship of unknown year.Gu Yunlan thought it was some kind of fruit seed at the time, so she planted it in Yoyo Valley, but she didn't care about it after finding out that it was a berry.
The ones that Lu Yunnan discovered were wild in a sense.
After soaking the stone flower seeds, wrap them in gauze and knead the sticky substance in clean water, dissolve it in water, add an appropriate amount of lime water, put it in crushed ice and wait for it to solidify.
Squeeze the juice from lychees and roses, add honey and stir, then cut some diced fruit and grind some rose petals into the ice powder bowl.The ice powder is crystal clear, dotted with lychee pulp and rose petals, and the red and white colors are eye-catching.The entrance is cold and smooth, and the taste is extremely delicious.All of a sudden it was loved by everyone, and after eating a bowl, they would have to refill another bowl.
The large pond in the courtyard is full of lotus flowers, and under the moonlit night, there is a sound of frogs, accompanied by the singing of cicadas.The teenagers in the Xingyue Pavilion used lychee smoothies instead of drinks, toasted to the moon, and smiled happily.Xuan Yao even said that he would live in Xiang's mansion to enjoy the blessings, and Lianhua stuffed a mouthful of lychee cake.
Could she not know that this man was drunk and didn't mean to drink?
Different from the laughter in the Xingyue Pavilion of the Lu Mansion, the Jinyang Palace will be somewhat low-pressure.
Yuchun has a new cook, and the dishes are delicious.Gu Chao wanted Lu Yunnan to try it too, so he calculated the time and guessed that Lu Yunnan was about to wake up, and sent Xi Xin to the Prime Minister's Mansion to invite people to eat delicious food.
In the end, he was informed by the housekeeper of the prime minister's mansion that Lu Yunnan had a lychee feast for his classmates today, so he was unable to go.
Gu Chao sat on a rock and stared at the moon in a daze, because Lu Yunnan invited his classmates from the Imperial College to the lychee banquet in the mansion, but he didn't invite him. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He hates this feeling.
"My lord, someone from the Prime Minister's residence is here."
Xi Xin received the notification from the concierge and ran all the way to find Gu Chao.
Hearing this, Gu Chao immediately got up from the rock, took big steps, and couldn't help asking Xi Xin on the way, "Is he here?"
Xi Xin trotted to keep up with Gu Chao's pace, and replied out of breath, "Young master Lu didn't come, but the old housekeeper of Lu's house brought people here and dragged some things, saying that young master Lu gave it to you personally. The lychee fruit wine brewed by the prince."
Hearing the news that Lu Yunnan didn't come, Gu Chao's pace gradually slowed down.In the end, he heard that Lu Yunnan personally brewed wine for him and brought it to him, this step was even bigger.
Poor Xi Xin followed behind but couldn't run wide open, and couldn't fall too far behind.Tired as hell.
Steward Lu explained to Xi Xin some precautions for the fruit wine and when it can be drunk, and then returned to the prime minister's mansion.
Gu Chao's gaze has been fixed on the two barrels of fruit wine, and he will not leave for a moment.Even though Gu Chao had no expression on his face, Xi Xin could feel that his prince really wanted to taste this fruit wine.
Asarum took care of Gu Chao to wash up, and before blowing the lamp to leave, she couldn't help reminding: "My lord, it will take some time before you can drink that wine. You must hold back and don't open the barrel early. Steward Lu said during the period Don't open it, or it will spoil the wine."
Gu Chao closed his eyes, put his hands flat on his abdomen, stretched his legs straight, and responded to Xi Xin, "Yeah."
The watchmen are walking around the streets and alleys, reminding them to be careful about the fire and candles.
Gu Chao avoids Xi Xin who is sleeping outside, opens the door lightly, lifts the lantern hanging on the door, and walks towards the cellar where the lychee wine is stored.
"The fruit wine that Lu Zhi personally brewed for Gu Chao" seemed to have magical powers, making Gu Chao dream back ten years ago.Back to that cold but warm winter again, when Lu Zhi was still very young, he would always cook a lot of delicious food for him.
And he didn't need to say much, Lu Zhi could understand everything in his mind.
He originally only wanted to avoid Lu Zhi, so as not to let the Queen Mother pay attention to Lu Zhi again and hurt Lu Zhi.But the queen mother didn't really let Lu Zhi go because of her estrangement.My brother also said that it was wrong for him to do so.
Gu Chao looked at the two barrels of wine, he wanted to go back to the winter ten years ago, and he also wanted Lu Zhi to go back to that time with him.
In the end Gu Chao refrained from secretly drinking the unmade fruit wine, and told himself that he wanted to wait a little longer and not to worry.
As long as you wait a little longer, you can drink the brewed fruit wine.
After Steward Lu returned to the mansion, Lu Yunnan just finished seeing off the guests.
"Has the wine been delivered?"
Butler Lu replied: "Send it, and I have also said some things and time that the young master ordered."
Lu Yunnan nodded, hummed a little tune and led Zhuzhi and Xinglin back to his small yard.Gu Chao sent so many lychees that he couldn't finish them all.Even Song Zixiu and the others were called by him to help eat, so there was no reason for Gu Chao, the instigator, to be free.It happened that half of the lychees were used to make some fruit wine and sent back for Gu Chao to eat by himself.
After Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan returned to the Xu Mansion, they went to Aunt Yue's residence.Lu Yunnan packed them lychee rose ice powder and lychee cakes, and asked them to bring them back for their mothers to taste.
It's just that the door of Aunt Yue's courtyard is closed tightly, and there are two servants guarding it.The two brothers realized that something was wrong and rushed over to knock on the door.The two servants didn't dare to stop them forcefully, leaving the two brothers free. Xu Shuyu knocked on the door and shouted loudly: "Auntie, I'm Shuyu! What's the matter? Open the door!"
After shouting for a while, the door finally opened from the inside.The one who opened the door was their father's personal servant, Lao Qi.
Lao Qi said in a deep voice: "You two young masters, the master told you to leave quickly. There is nothing to do here. You have to go to the Imperial College tomorrow to go to school, so don't be late."
Xu Shuyu stood at the door without taking a step back, "I want to see Aunt Yue."
The old seven wanted to say something, but Xu Shuyu directly pushed him away. Xu Shuyuan followed Xu Shuyu with a food box and entered the small courtyard.Xu Yi'an was sitting in the courtyard, while their biological mother, Aunt Yue, was kneeling on the ground, with two strong men standing beside them, holding boards in their hands.Although the Xu family brothers didn't know what happened, they could tell that Aunt Yue was going to suffer.
"father."
The two brothers stepped forward to salute, waiting for the lord sitting on the throne to speak.
Xu Yian didn't even look at the two brothers, "It's nothing to do with you, go back to your yard."
Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan didn't move at all, Xu Yi'an saw this, and called Lao Qi loudly, and asked Lao Qi to take the two brothers away from the small courtyard.
The two servants and Lao Qi who were guarding outside the door entered the yard to pull them out, Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan resisted desperately.Xu Shuyuan threw the food box in his hand and hit the three of them. Ice powder and lychee cakes were scattered all over the ground, and a faint aroma of lychees wafted in the air.
Old Qi was covered in ice powder, which was sweet and greasy. He smelled it, and his strength in dragging the Xu family brothers became stronger and stronger.
The food box was used as a weapon by Xu Shuyuan, and it hit the person who wanted to drag him away. The crackling sound of broken wood made Xu Yi'an feel annoyed.
"Since you don't want to leave, just watch here."
Lao Qi got Xu Yi'an's order and stopped with two servants.The servant went to close the gate and continued to guard the courtyard gate.
"Do it." Xu Yi'an ordered, and the two strong men holding the board hit Aunt Yue's thin body one after another.
Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan rushed forward, hugged Aunt Yue, and blocked the board for her.
Their speed was too fast, the two strong men who were in charge of the torture lost their strength, and both brothers ate the board.
"Father, what are you doing?" Xu Shuyu endured the pain in his back and questioned Xu Yi'an.
Xu Yi'an didn't reply to his words, but looked at the two strong men, "Did I tell you to stop? They will be next to each other if they want to. If I don't tell you to stop, just keep beating me!"
The two strong men quickly lowered their heads and said, "Yes, master."
The boards fell down one after another, like raindrops.
Aunt Yue cried and told Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan to leave, but the two brothers turned a deaf ear to it.It's just that he hugged his mother even harder, for fear that if he let go, the man-eating board would fall on their mother.
"Lan Lan, Sui Sui. You are obedient, please leave quickly. Master, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, please tell them to stop, please." split lung.The blow to Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan was a hundred times more painful than hitting herself.
Xu Yi'an didn't answer Aunt Yue's words, as if he couldn't hear the cries, the sound of boards, and the muffled groans that were so close at hand.It wasn't until Aunt Yue's voice became hoarse from crying, and there were faint bloodstains on the backs of Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan, that he asked, "Liu Mansion, are you going or not?"
Aunt Yue's hair was disheveled and her face was full of tears, as if she had been pushed into dirty water and struggled hard, but it was of no avail.
She finally nodded to Xu Yian's words.
Xu Shuyu firmly grabbed Aunt Yue's arm, stared into her eyes, and asked, "What Liu's residence? Auntie, where are you going?"
Xu Shuyuan also looked at Aunt Yue nervously, waiting for her answer.
Aunt Yue touched the faces of her sons and smiled softly, "If I don't go anywhere, I will come back."
Xu Shuyu seemed to have thought of something, he was eager to ask, and wanted to keep his mother, but he fainted because of the rush.Xu Shuyuan subconsciously called out, "Brother!"
Aunt Yue looked at Xu Yi'an, and begged him to send Xu Shuyuan back and find a doctor for treatment.
"Dignified citizens of the Zhou Dynasty, what do people from the Western Regions call A Niang!" Xu Yi'an looked ugly, pointed at Aunt Yue and said, "You lowly concubine, what have you taught them in private? Are you worthy of letting your heirs call your mother?"
Aunt Yue kowtowed her head, her forehead turned red, and begged: "I will not dare to do this any more, I beg the master to let the doctor treat the two young masters."
Xu Shuyuan listened to the voice in his ear, indifferent, pleading, a deep sense of powerlessness swept over his body, and he couldn't do anything.
Lianhua was talking about the local conditions and customs of Luojia Kingdom with the Xu family brothers and Song Zixiu, and the three of them listened very attentively.Marveling at the strange and mysterious land that Lianhua spoke of, yearning for the exotic customs and customs, even Song Zixiu wanted to go to Luojia country to have a look.
"If it's possible, I really want to go to Luojia Country to have a look."
I want to take a look at the river that Lianhua said is called "mother" by the people of Luojia country; set up tents at night, wrap in thick blankets, and enjoy the starry night sky; ride horses on the vast grassland, feel With the freedom and joy like an eagle soaring high...
When Xu Shuyu heard this, he quickly raised his hand to attract Song Zixiu's gaze, and said with a smile, "Then I will go with brother Zixiu. I want to see the burning clouds that dye the sky, it must be very touching."
Song Zixiu smiled slightly and said: "If there is a chance, we should go together."
Lianhua expressed her welcome, and pulled the gourd Xu Shuyuan, asking him to go too.
And Lu Yunnan had already dragged the girl to finish talking about the hundred ways to eat pigs, and now he started talking about cows.
But the girl didn't listen, she was reciting scriptures silently in her heart to drive away Lu Yunnan's whispering voice like a demon.Gu Chao listened very seriously, but halfway through Lu Yunnan's speech, he was really dizzy, fell into a deep sleep and fell forward.

Seeing Lu Yu's lack of interest, Gu Yunlan no longer mentioned the matter of marrying a wife, and talked about the business, "The treasure ship will arrive in Beijing tomorrow, I want Lu Zhi to take a look at the treasure book this time.

The Guozijian happened to be taking a rest today, and the young men who went to school fell asleep after returning to the mansion, but they didn't have to go to the school with dark circles like Lu Yu to attend lectures.

Lu Yunnan made a total of seven dishes, namely, lychee smoothie, lychee white fungus, red dates and lotus seed soup, lychee stewed chicken, lychee shrimp, lychee pork rib soup, lychee cake, lychee rose ice powder...
When the dishes came to the table, everyone was dumbfounded.Even if you think about it, you can't figure it out, this fruit can be used in dishes, and the smell is not bad.
Lychee stewed chicken uses rice twigs. The taste of rice twigs is extremely sweet, and the entrance is rich in lychee, which is waxy and smooth.The tender chicken is stewed with rice sticks. The chicken stew is crispy and lychee-flavored. The soup is very sweet and fragrant.As soon as the dish was served, the chicken was sliced clean.One of the two chicken legs was given to Lu Yunnan and the other to Lianhua.
In the eating and drinking room, Xu Shuyu looked at the ice powder and asked, "What's the name of this crystal clear one?"
Lu Yunnan said: "Lychee rose ice powder, the ice powder is made from stone flower seeds, try it."
The stone flower seeds used in the lychee rose ice powder were discovered by Lu Yunnan in Yoyo Valley. According to Meng Donglai, they were seeds from a treasure ship of unknown year.Gu Yunlan thought it was some kind of fruit seed at the time, so she planted it in Yoyo Valley, but she didn't care about it after finding out that it was a berry.
The ones that Lu Yunnan discovered were wild in a sense.
After soaking the stone flower seeds, wrap them in gauze and knead the sticky substance in clean water, dissolve it in water, add an appropriate amount of lime water, put it in crushed ice and wait for it to solidify.
Squeeze the juice from lychees and roses, add honey and stir, then cut some diced fruit and grind some rose petals into the ice powder bowl.The ice powder is crystal clear, dotted with lychee pulp and rose petals, and the red and white colors are eye-catching.The entrance is cold and smooth, and the taste is extremely delicious.All of a sudden it was loved by everyone, and after eating a bowl, they would have to refill another bowl.
The large pond in the courtyard is full of lotus flowers, and under the moonlit night, there is a sound of frogs, accompanied by the singing of cicadas.The teenagers in the Xingyue Pavilion used lychee smoothies instead of drinks, toasted to the moon, and smiled happily.Xuan Yao even said that he would live in Xiang's mansion to enjoy the blessings, and Lianhua stuffed a mouthful of lychee cake.
Could she not know that this man was drunk and didn't mean to drink?
Different from the laughter in the Xingyue Pavilion of the Lu Mansion, the Jinyang Palace will be somewhat low-pressure.
Yuchun has a new cook, and the dishes are delicious.Gu Chao wanted Lu Yunnan to try it too, so he calculated the time and guessed that Lu Yunnan was about to wake up, and sent Xi Xin to the Prime Minister's Mansion to invite people to eat delicious food.
In the end, he was informed by the housekeeper of the prime minister's mansion that Lu Yunnan had a lychee feast for his classmates today, so he was unable to go.
Gu Chao sat on a rock and stared at the moon in a daze, because Lu Yunnan invited his classmates from the Imperial College to the lychee banquet in the mansion, but he didn't invite him. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He hates this feeling.
"My lord, someone from the Prime Minister's residence is here."
Xi Xin received the notification from the concierge and ran all the way to find Gu Chao.
Hearing this, Gu Chao immediately got up from the rock, took big steps, and couldn't help asking Xi Xin on the way, "Is he here?"
Xi Xin trotted to keep up with Gu Chao's pace, and replied out of breath, "Young master Lu didn't come, but the old housekeeper of Lu's house brought people here and dragged some things, saying that young master Lu gave it to you personally. The lychee fruit wine brewed by the prince."
Hearing the news that Lu Yunnan didn't come, Gu Chao's pace gradually slowed down.In the end, he heard that Lu Yunnan personally brewed wine for him and brought it to him, this step was even bigger.
Poor Xi Xin followed behind but couldn't run wide open, and couldn't fall too far behind.Tired as hell.
Steward Lu explained to Xi Xin some precautions for the fruit wine and when it can be drunk, and then returned to the prime minister's mansion.
Gu Chao's gaze has been fixed on the two barrels of fruit wine, and he will not leave for a moment.Even though Gu Chao had no expression on his face, Xi Xin could feel that his prince really wanted to taste this fruit wine.
Asarum took care of Gu Chao to wash up, and before blowing the lamp to leave, she couldn't help reminding: "My lord, it will take some time before you can drink that wine. You must hold back and don't open the barrel early. Steward Lu said during the period Don't open it, or it will spoil the wine."
Gu Chao closed his eyes, put his hands flat on his abdomen, stretched his legs straight, and responded to Xi Xin, "Yeah."
The watchmen are walking around the streets and alleys, reminding them to be careful about the fire and candles.
Gu Chao avoids Xi Xin who is sleeping outside, opens the door lightly, lifts the lantern hanging on the door, and walks towards the cellar where the lychee wine is stored.
"The fruit wine that Lu Zhi personally brewed for Gu Chao" seemed to have magical powers, making Gu Chao dream back ten years ago.Back to that cold but warm winter again, when Lu Zhi was still very young, he would always cook a lot of delicious food for him.
And he didn't need to say much, Lu Zhi could understand everything in his mind.
He originally only wanted to avoid Lu Zhi, so as not to let the Queen Mother pay attention to Lu Zhi again and hurt Lu Zhi.But the queen mother didn't really let Lu Zhi go because of her estrangement.My brother also said that it was wrong for him to do so.
Gu Chao looked at the two barrels of wine, he wanted to go back to the winter ten years ago, and he also wanted Lu Zhi to go back to that time with him.
In the end Gu Chao refrained from secretly drinking the unmade fruit wine, and told himself that he wanted to wait a little longer and not to worry.
As long as you wait a little longer, you can drink the brewed fruit wine.
After Steward Lu returned to the mansion, Lu Yunnan just finished seeing off the guests.
"Has the wine been delivered?"
Butler Lu replied: "Send it, and I have also said some things and time that the young master ordered."
Lu Yunnan nodded, hummed a little tune and led Zhuzhi and Xinglin back to his small yard.Gu Chao sent so many lychees that he couldn't finish them all.Even Song Zixiu and the others were called by him to help eat, so there was no reason for Gu Chao, the instigator, to be free.It happened that half of the lychees were used to make some fruit wine and sent back for Gu Chao to eat by himself.
After Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan returned to the Xu Mansion, they went to Aunt Yue's residence.Lu Yunnan packed them lychee rose ice powder and lychee cakes, and asked them to bring them back for their mothers to taste.
It's just that the door of Aunt Yue's courtyard is closed tightly, and there are two servants guarding it.The two brothers realized that something was wrong and rushed over to knock on the door.The two servants didn't dare to stop them forcefully, leaving the two brothers free. Xu Shuyu knocked on the door and shouted loudly: "Auntie, I'm Shuyu! What's the matter? Open the door!"
After shouting for a while, the door finally opened from the inside.The one who opened the door was their father's personal servant, Lao Qi.
Lao Qi said in a deep voice: "You two young masters, the master told you to leave quickly. There is nothing to do here. You have to go to the Imperial College tomorrow to go to school, so don't be late."
Xu Shuyu stood at the door without taking a step back, "I want to see Aunt Yue."
The old seven wanted to say something, but Xu Shuyu directly pushed him away. Xu Shuyuan followed Xu Shuyu with a food box and entered the small courtyard.Xu Yi'an was sitting in the courtyard, while their biological mother, Aunt Yue, was kneeling on the ground, with two strong men standing beside them, holding boards in their hands.Although the Xu family brothers didn't know what happened, they could tell that Aunt Yue was going to suffer.
"father."
The two brothers stepped forward to salute, waiting for the lord sitting on the throne to speak.
Xu Yian didn't even look at the two brothers, "It's nothing to do with you, go back to your yard."
Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan didn't move at all, Xu Yi'an saw this, and called Lao Qi loudly, and asked Lao Qi to take the two brothers away from the small courtyard.
The two servants and Lao Qi who were guarding outside the door entered the yard to pull them out, Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan resisted desperately.Xu Shuyuan threw the food box in his hand and hit the three of them. Ice powder and lychee cakes were scattered all over the ground, and a faint aroma of lychees wafted in the air.
Old Qi was covered in ice powder, which was sweet and greasy. He smelled it, and his strength in dragging the Xu family brothers became stronger and stronger.
The food box was used as a weapon by Xu Shuyuan, and it hit the person who wanted to drag him away. The crackling sound of broken wood made Xu Yi'an feel annoyed.
"Since you don't want to leave, just watch here."
Lao Qi got Xu Yi'an's order and stopped with two servants.The servant went to close the gate and continued to guard the courtyard gate.
"Do it." Xu Yi'an ordered, and the two strong men holding the board hit Aunt Yue's thin body one after another.
Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan rushed forward, hugged Aunt Yue, and blocked the board for her.
Their speed was too fast, the two strong men who were in charge of the torture lost their strength, and both brothers ate the board.
"Father, what are you doing?" Xu Shuyu endured the pain in his back and questioned Xu Yi'an.
Xu Yi'an didn't reply to his words, but looked at the two strong men, "Did I tell you to stop? They will be next to each other if they want to. If I don't tell you to stop, just keep beating me!"
The two strong men quickly lowered their heads and said, "Yes, master."
The boards fell down one after another, like raindrops.
Aunt Yue cried and told Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan to leave, but the two brothers turned a deaf ear to it.It's just that he hugged his mother even harder, for fear that if he let go, the man-eating board would fall on their mother.
"Lan Lan, Sui Sui. You are obedient, please leave quickly. Master, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, please tell them to stop, please." split lung.The blow to Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan was a hundred times more painful than hitting herself.
Xu Yi'an didn't answer Aunt Yue's words, as if he couldn't hear the cries, the sound of boards, and the muffled groans that were so close at hand.It wasn't until Aunt Yue's voice became hoarse from crying, and there were faint bloodstains on the backs of Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan, that he asked, "Liu Mansion, are you going or not?"
Aunt Yue's hair was disheveled and her face was full of tears, as if she had been pushed into dirty water and struggled hard, but it was of no avail.
She finally nodded to Xu Yian's words.
Xu Shuyu firmly grabbed Aunt Yue's arm, stared into her eyes, and asked, "What Liu's residence? Auntie, where are you going?"
Xu Shuyuan also looked at Aunt Yue nervously, waiting for her answer.
Aunt Yue touched the faces of her sons and smiled softly, "If I don't go anywhere, I will come back."
Xu Shuyu seemed to have thought of something, he was eager to ask, and wanted to keep his mother, but he fainted because of the rush.Xu Shuyuan subconsciously called out, "Brother!"
Aunt Yue looked at Xu Yi'an, and begged him to send Xu Shuyuan back and find a doctor for treatment.
"Dignified citizens of the Zhou Dynasty, what do people from the Western Regions call A Niang!" Xu Yi'an looked ugly, pointed at Aunt Yue and said, "You lowly concubine, what have you taught them in private? Are you worthy of letting your heirs call your mother?"
Aunt Yue kowtowed her head, her forehead turned red, and begged: "I will not dare to do this any more, I beg the master to let the doctor treat the two young masters."
Xu Shuyuan listened to the voice in his ear, indifferent, pleading, a deep sense of powerlessness swept over his body, and he couldn't do anything.
