The days when I skipped school and opened a restaurant in ancient times

The Imperial College attends classes from morning to evening.

That is, go to school at nine in the morning and leave school at five in the evening.

There is an hour for lunch at noon, and most of the students in the foreign class go home to eat.

The outside class is day students, and the inner class is boarding students.

After school, it was time for lunch.

"Brother Nan, why don't you just eat in the restaurant today, and go out together after dinner." Chi Muhan pulled Lu Yunnan who was about to leave, and made the lunch arrangements clearly.

Lu Yunnan revealed a bitter expression, and carefully confirmed: "Brother Han, are you sure you want to eat at the Imperial Cuisine Hall?"

Chi Muhan nodded, with an expression of longing, "Guozijian is in charge of Guanglu Temple, but I know that Guanglu Temple is in charge of all internal banquets, external banquets, and sacrificial meals. The dishes they cook must be extremely delicious !"

Xu Shuyu was listening, and when he heard that he looked at Chi Muhan with a strange look at the end, even Xu Shuyuan looked in disbelief.

"Brother Mu Han, have you heard that the capital is ridiculous?" Xu Shuyu asked.

Chi Muhan shook his head, Xu Shuyu raised a finger, earnestly popularized science, "Ten ridiculous covers many things, but the tea soup from Guanglu Temple occupies the top of the list, you can taste it carefully, how unpalatable it must be."

Chi Muhan looked at Lu Yunnan, Lu Yunnan nodded, and added in a low voice: "What my father and elder brother are most afraid of is eating palace banquets, even His Majesty himself."

Lu Yunnan looked around and saw that there was no one there, so he stood on tiptoe and whispered into Chi Muhan's ear, "I heard that His Majesty was forced to open a small kitchen in private for daily meals, Brother Han, for the sake of our lives we Or eat somewhere else."

Chi Muhan's faith was shattered.

Xu Shuyu scratched his head, "There are quite a few restaurants in Ningjing that are very good. I heard from my brothers that the newly opened Yuchun Restaurant is even better."

Lu Yunnan looked at Chi Muhan with a sad face, and immediately made a decision, "Go to Yuchun Tower today!"

The roads in Ningjing City are wide and there are many pavements.

There are merchants and travelers traveling from south to north, and there are also foreigners who have settled in Ningjing. The number is not large, but there are also many.

Within a hundred steps of Ningjing, you will definitely meet a foreigner, and Ningjing people have long been familiar with it.Those who would stare at those foreigners must have come to Ningjing from other places.

There are men, women and children on the street, shouting and selling.

Three luxuriously carved carriages were parked in front of the Yuchun Building, and Xiaoer, who was waiting for customers at the door, immediately came forward

"A few young masters, please!"

Lu Yunnan looked at the two-story Yuchun Tower, standing on the ground like a crane.Surrounded by slightly shorter pavements and restaurants, a longing suddenly rose in my heart.

He also wants to have a big restaurant.

Xiaoer led them in, and the room was spacious and bright.There are not many tables left, and there are screens between each table, and the screens are also exquisitely carved with a lot of thought, looking very elegant.

"Are the young masters eating in the dining room or in the private room?" Xiao Er bent down and asked them respectfully.

Chi Muhan wanted to eat now, and was too lazy to climb the stairs, "Let's eat in the hall, anyway, there are screens to block it."

There was nothing wrong with Lu Yunnan and the Xu family brothers, they all nodded in agreement.

After taking the seat, another waiter came and handed over a thin wooden book with both hands. This wooden book exudes sandalwood, and the four corners are hollowed out, which looks like lotus cloud patterns.The name of the dish is engraved in the middle, and a layer of gold powder is plated to make the words stand out more.

Looking at the menu, Lu Yunnan thought that the owner of Yuchunlou should be very rich.He looked at the names of the dishes, and in the end he only ordered steamed fish, and he was not very interested in the others.

Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan, one ordered mutton, and the other ordered red date porridge.

After Chi Muhan glanced at it, he handed the wooden book back to Xiaoer.

Seeing this, Lu Yunnan thought that the guy's next words should be "fry one" with a lot of money.Then he heard Chi Mu's cold voice, "Sweet cake, sweet soup, sweet soup, I want to add more honey."

He also ordered a table of food for several book boys and let them eat next door.

After ordering the dishes, Chi Muhan's eyes lit up, "This Yuchunlou is a good one, there are so many sweets to eat. You don't know, I seldom got honey in the past. It's not that I can't afford it, the main reason is Not there."

Xu Shuyu heard the words, and said: "Brother Mu Han, you like sweets so much, you really should try the cakes made by Zhizhi. Not to mention the variety, the taste is also first-class."

After getting along all morning, Chi Muhan realized that when there was no one else, Xu Shuyu liked to call Lu Yunnan by his baby name, so that people could listen to him intimately.Hearing Xu Shuyu's words, Chi Muhan was delighted. He looked at Lu Yunnan and smiled and said, "At first I was only Brother Nan and you helped me, but I didn't expect you to really know how to cook?"

"After school tonight, these two will come home with me for dinner, and I will cook myself." Lu Yunnan pointed to the brothers of the Xu family, and he asked Chi Muhan, "Brother Han, do you want to come together?"

Chi Muhan nodded immediately, Xu Shuyu pursed his mouth, looking very sad, and complained to Lu Yunnan, "You know, I agreed to your conditions in exchange for this hard-won meal..."

Lu Yunnan smiled and said, "I'll make you more Honey Bean Double Skin Milk."

"Two copies!" Xu Shuyu raised two fingers, full of expectation.

"it is good."

Xu Shuyu was satisfied with the promise.

This time the dishes were served one after another, Lu Yunnan ate a mouthful of fish, it tasted good.Although it has a slight fishy smell, the fish is very delicious, it should be freshly killed.Season with salt and soy sauce enough, if there are ginger slices to remove the fishy smell, the taste will be better.

Ginger is only used for medicinal purposes in Dazhou, it is processed ginger.In the beginning, his family used ginger to buy unprocessed ginger from the place where the medicinal materials were processed, and they were the only ones who knew how to grow ginger.

Later, Lu Yunnan planted a lot by himself, which was just enough for the entire Lu family to eat.

"I know that the fish you ordered is really delicious!" Xu Shuyu couldn't help boasting: "Try the braised mutton quickly."

Lu Yunnan ate with his chopsticks, and then stopped eating.

Too bad.

But Xu Shuyu and the others were very happy to eat. They were used to this taste, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The red date porridge is very good. The red dates are peeled and pitted and boiled until soft, and the glutinous rice is sticky. The two are delicious and sweet.

The porridge is served in a relatively large porcelain white cup. When the lid is lifted, the sweet taste of dates spreads, which is really tempting.

One bowl per person, just divided up a large cup full of red date porridge.

No one else eats Chi Muhan's desserts except himself, and the brothers of the Xu family have eaten the ones made by Lu Yunnan, so they don't want to eat anything else.

Lu Yunnan couldn't eat something so sweet, he was stuffed with a small piece of sweet cake, and he had a mouthful of sweetness.

Chi Muhan didn't think so, he had a good time.

"Hey, who are these two? You two little bastards can also come to Yuchun Tower?"

The place where Lu Yunnan and the others sat was a table away from the stairs, Xu Shuyu was facing the stairs, Xu Shuyuan was sitting on his right, Chi Muhan was on the left, and Lu Yunnan had his back facing the stairs.

Although the screen can block it, it cannot hold back the sight of the people above.Xu Shuyu raised his head and looked at the person on the stairs, who was Aunt Qiu's son.

"Little bitch, you don't know your name when you see third brother?" Xu Shufeng walked all the way down and walked up to Xu Shuyu. He glanced at Chi Muhan, but he didn't recognize him.

Xu Shufeng loved to bully Xu Shuyu and Xu Shuyuan since he was young. His mother was a noble concubine, and the mothers of these two boys were bought cheap.That's not to bully as much as he wants, who knows that Meng Xueli let these two boys hitch a ride with the young master of the Lu family, and he won't be able to do as he pleases.

"Why did you enter the Imperial College and not be the Lu family's follower? You eat with this thing that comes from nowhere, and the fool who can't read the Lu family's book doesn't feel like it?"

Lu Yunnan glanced sideways at Xu Shufeng, he was really confused, and asked out his confusion, "Brother Xu Jia, when you say these words, can you see the whole person before you say it, I will sit next to you..."

Xu Shufeng: ...

Lu Yunnan was embarrassed for him, he could pick out a set of Yuchunlou with his toes.

"I didn't see...I don't know...I..." Xu Shufeng's voice became smaller and smaller, Chi Muhan glanced at him, did not speak, and was not interested.

"Book style, it's not that you are waiting on the stairs, why did you go down first."

There was another voice on the stairs, Xu Shufeng seemed to be pardoned, and immediately raised his head to look at the speaker gratefully, "I saw my younger brother here, come down to say hello."

As he said that, he ran away.

Lu Yunnan looked towards the stairs, there were three people standing on it, one of them was taller and he knew someone who owed him thousands of real money.

The two looked at each other, and there was an instant flash of lightning, thunder and lightning, and lightning and stars flying...

At least that's what Lu Yunnan thought in his mind.

"Yunnan, I'm lucky enough to meet you today, and congratulations on your promotion..." Ji Yin said halfway, patted his forehead, and said with a smile: "Look at my brain, I'm stupid in reading, Yunan is detained again this year. "

Lu Yunnan was full, and he panicked.Now that everyone has been delivered to his door, he has to save face, and take advantage of any damages.

"Ji Tuixing, you don't need to be weird, how can I not know what you are like?" Lu Yunnan turned and sat up straight and looked at the people above, "I heard that you were afraid of meeting my sixth brother in the whimsical hall, so you insisted on rolling I wrote a scribble on the paper and I will be detained."

Ji Tuixing snorted coldly: "Nonsense! I can be afraid of him, Lu Yunyun!"

Lu Yunnan said quietly: "Who knows..."

Ji Tuei flicked his sleeves heavily, "Let's go."

After the group left, Chi Muhan asked, "Who is that face that owes money? Do you have any grudges with Brother Nan?"

Lu Yunnan explained indifferently, "There is no grudge, but there are some festivals. His name is Ji Yin, and his name is Tuixing. His father is the left minister, and he is in charge of Shangshuxing and Menxiasheng. My father is the right minister, in charge of Shangshuxing and Zhongshu. Province. Drafted by Zhongshu Province and reviewed by Menxia Province.

It is impossible to say who is big and who is small, but on the surface it is stipulated that the right is respected.Our two fathers competed secretly in the court, and we sons competed secretly in the Imperial College.

But he just met me and hurt me, so he can't argue with me.It's not that I can't think about it, I'm competing with him academically.He and I can't compare who is worse in academics and who stays longer.So I pointed the finger at my sixth brother, who just started school last year and even said cruel words to put my sixth brother under him.

As a result, every time I took the exam, my sixth brother came out on top.He felt depressed, and it was my bad luck to meet me.He took his anger out on me that day. "

After that, he put his three fingers together and made an oath to the sky, "Heaven and earth testify, I was squatting in the corner and eating a piece of toffee. He found me somehow, and reprimanded me as soon as he came up. He is a good scholar. scolded people."

"He actually troubled you? Why didn't I hear you mention it before?"

Xu Shuyu's face showed worry, and his tone also contained some blame because his friend was troubled by him, but he didn't tell him.

Lu Yunnan didn't feel anything, and said in relief: "He didn't do anything to me, but there were some quarrels, which made you worry."

"Besides, I was only thinking about eating candy. After eating the candy, I realized that this guy scolded me. So I didn't really quarrel. It was just that he vented his anger unilaterally, and everything was fine."

Chi Muhan felt a little depressed about this, and asked, "You just let him go like this? Didn't you fight to get back your position?"

Chi Muhan has a strong sense of substitution, and he has already started to get a little angry, "If it were me, and he scolded me, I could beat him all over the place."

Hearing this, Lu Yunnan admired him, but he also said that he didn't suffer the scolding in vain, "I want to be like you, Brother Han, but I'm so small that I can't beat you in a fight. So I ran home to sue in a fit of anger. up.

After hearing this, Sixth Brother found a time, put him in a sack, and beat him up.He knew it was my sixth brother who made the call, so he went back and filed a complaint.His father found my father himself, and then my sixth brother was beaten up by him. "

Chi Muhan, who was a bit angry at first, got angry when he heard this, "This man is not moral, and he went home to find his father! Then what happened to your sixth brother? Could it be that he was tricked by this nerd like this?"

"Who is my sixth brother? He has always retaliated for wrongs and revenge." Lu Yunnan admired his sixth brother very much. If the Imperial College encounters them, they will hit each time they see each other."

Lu Yunnan took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and spoke very loudly, "Ji retreats too, otherwise he won't be beaten and will only go home and sue. He is afraid of my sixth brother, so he dare not be promoted. Even when I met me today, I didn’t dare to scold me, so I could only speak to me in a strange way.”

He had completely forgotten about it, and ran home to look for Sixth Brother after being scolded.

Hearing such an ending, Chi Muhan also breathed a sigh of relief, and said straightly, "It's very satisfying."

"Brother Nan, I really like your sixth brother. If there is a chance, I hope you can recommend one or two."

Lu Yunnan nodded and said it was okay, he felt that his sixth brother would also like Chi Muhan very much.

Thinking of Xu Shufeng's high-spirited appearance before, Lu Yunnan was a little worried about the Xu family brothers. He asked the two seriously, "You two, tell me the truth, after I left Mengxue, did those people still bully you?"

Xu Shuyu paused for a moment, then simply shook his head and said, "No."

Then he added: "Although you don't know how to talk to us, you didn't bother us anymore. Even if you left at that time, you still asked us to go to the house to play every now and then. They didn't dare to do anything to us. Third brother, he now That is to say, he can speak bad words, but he didn't dare to do anything bad for us."

Hearing this, Lu Yunnan looked at Xu Shuyuan and saw that Xu Shuyuan also nodded, so he was relieved, "I told you that if you are bullied, you must tell me, did you hear me?"

The twins looked at Lu Yunnan, they both showed identical smiles and nodded.

Although Xu Shuyu brothers are twins, but because of the huge difference in personality, they always ignore that they look the same.This was the first time Chi Muhan saw two identical faces making the same expression. He was a little confused for a while, and he said: "If one day Shuyuan pretends to be Shuyu and Shuyu pretends to be Shuyuan, there must be no People can find out."

Lu Yunnan agrees with this statement very much, if these two people make the same expression, it is simply copy and paste.

It is a good time to go shopping when you are full of food and drink.

Xu Shuyu saw a seller of hairpins from a distance, and ran immediately.The hairpin flowers sold by the vendors are all seasonal flowers, the kind that can be picked in the wild.

The flower-picking branches used as hairpin flowers should be longer and the flowers should be denser.

If you want to wear the flowers for a long time without drying, you will put the flower branches into the vase hairpin, so it is named because it looks like a vase.There are many materials for vase hairpins, including gold, silver, porcelain, glass and wood.The hairpin can store water, and the hairpin is put into the hair bun. The body of the hairpin is slender, and the mouth of the hairpin is like a bottle, so the water will not drip in it.

"This peach blossom is very beautiful, it blooms in groups of three or five, I know you must be beautiful when you wear it." Xu Shuyu chose the one with the most flowers and gave it to Lu Yunnan as a hairpin.

"The peach blossoms on the human face reflect the red, that's just what I said." Xu Shuyu was very satisfied, staring at Lu Yunnan again and again.

Chi Muhan also took a good look at Lu Yunnan, and said with a smile: "This will become a Peach Blossom Fairy. I don't know if the little fairy cares about the love affairs in the mortal world. If he does, I really want to ask for it."

Lu Yunnan picked out a good-looking one, stood on tiptoe and put it on Chi Muhan's head, "There is a marriage tree in the Buddhist temple on Pingning Mountain, which is said to be very spiritual. By the way, the Son-giving Avalokitesvara is a spiritual blessing." Ling. Brother Han is seventeen this year, so he is considered able to marry a wife."

Chi Muhan pinched Lu Yunnan's face, then quickly backed away, "Listen, listen to what you're saying, is it human? I'm joking with you, how much did you say back to me?"

On the street, several handsome young men with hairpin flowers chased after each other, smiling comfortably.

Inside the palace.

In the elegant and exquisite imperial study room, the Ninth Five-Year Lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty is getting angry.

"Yun Ming! Yun Ming! My good servant, tell me how this 'Ming' can be used as a character! I asked you to be the Shaoqing of the Zongzheng Temple, so that you can give my younger brother, on the genealogy, record Such a word?"

The memorial in his hand was thrown to the ground with a loud noise, and Shaoqing Zongzhengsi, who was kneeling on the ground, was too frightened to raise his head and trembled.

Gu Yunlan was very angry, and said angrily: "Are you dumb? Talk to me!"

Only then did Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple dare to make a sound, and he felt bitter, "I dare not shirk my responsibility, but at that time there was nothing I could do. The Empress Dowager went to Zongzheng Temple in person and said that King Jinyang had returned to Beijing to study and hadn't taken his name yet." The empress dowager said that as an elder, she took it for the prince, so she asked the minister to write this word on the genealogy for King Jinyang."

In the end, the young lord could only lay down on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, I really had no choice but to ask Your Majesty to check it out!"

After Gu Yunlan asked the reason, she felt exhausted.His head hurt from the other party's crying, so he waved his hand and let people go down.

Queen Mother, Queen Mother again.

When Chao Chao was brought back to Beijing, his grandmother sent someone to tell him to keep Chao Chao and the Queen Mother away.

Now Chao Chao lives outside the palace and rarely enters the palace. When he does, he comes to see him.Isn't that far enough away?The Empress Dowager Xu De went to Zongzheng Temple in person just to give Chao Chao a curse-like word?

"Your Majesty, King Jinyang is begging to see you." Eunuch Han entered the hall to announce. Gu Yunlan took a deep breath, straightened his clothes and hair, and asked, "Is my appearance scary or not?"

Eunuch Han didn't dare to look directly at Shengyan, he only looked at his clothes and hair and then quickly lowered his head, "Your Majesty is very gentle."

Gu Yunlan breathed a sigh of relief, and told people to invite Gu Chao in quickly.

"Chaochao, didn't you enroll today? Why did you come to the palace? Have you eaten yet?" Gu Yunlan smiled gently, went forward, took her brother's hand, and took him to a seat.

"Brother, you didn't tell me that he was there." Gu Chao looked at Gu Yunlan and said word by word: "You asked the hidden guard to give me false news. The dark guard said that Lu Zhi was promoted this year."

"The dark guard didn't lie to you. He really wanted to be promoted at the beginning. However, the previous Song Jijiu had a close personal relationship with Kong Jijiu. He heard that Kong Jijiu had arranged for Lu Zhi to be promoted this year, so he let him take it easy. , and sharpen Lu Zhi's temperament again. In order not to enter the officialdom in the future, it will be like a small firecracker, and the people who bomb it will not be safe."

Gu Yunlan wanted to tease his younger brother, and he acted thoughtfully, "Since the Yuchun Building was handed over to you, you have often asked the hidden guards to report the news about Lu Zhi to you. Since you are going to the Imperial College to study, why are you so concerned? Lu Zhi, why aren't you happy about being put under the same roof for you?"

"I'm not unhappy." Gu Chao muffled.

"If you are not unhappy, then you are happy? Why do you still look like this when you are happy? I don't see you smiling."

Gu Chao moved the corners of his mouth expressionlessly, as if he wanted to express his "happiness".In the end, it just ended with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Gu Yunlan was not willing to make things difficult for him, so he said forget it.He took Gu Chao's left hand and lifted his sleeve up, revealing what Gu Chao was wearing on his wrist.

It was a gold bracelet, about an inch wide, with this small red coral bead inlaid on it.Many kinds of talismans to suppress evil spirits are engraved inside and outside the bracelet.

Gu Chao subconsciously withdrew his hand, and covered the gold bracelet with his sleeve again.

"Chao Chao, the red coral beads on this gold bracelet were found by my elder brother and you together back then. Such a large bead was smashed to pieces. I did. I still remember that you searched around the ash pit for a long time."

Gu Yunlan was not speaking as an emperor at this time, facing Gu Chao, he felt too much pity in his heart.In front of Gu Chao, he only has the status of "elder brother".

"You are in Ningjing City now, not in the palace. There are many young men who are about your age in the Imperial College. Chao Chao, you will have many friends. Including Lu Zhi, whom you have been avoiding to see, he will be the same as before , become your bosom friend again."

Gu Chao lowered his eyes, and after a long while, he made a sound, which sounded very depressed, "Brother, he will die if he gets close to me. He almost died before. It's such a cold day, and the water in Yueming Pond is so cold. He's soaked in it, he can't come out, I can't save...can't save him, brother."

Gu Yunlan held Gu Chao's shoulders with both hands, squatted down, and looked up at Gu Chao, "Chao Chao, brother is now the emperor, which is different from before. Tell me, what happened back then, okay?"

Hearing this, Gu Chao heard that the steam in his eyes suddenly dissipated, and was replaced by a coldness that strangers should not get close to.

Gu Yunlan knew it when he saw it, and it was impossible for Gu Chao to say anything more.

"If you really don't want to face Lu Zhi again, then I will promote you. Look into my brother's eyes and tell me, do you want to be promoted?"

Gu Chao pursed his lips, but couldn't utter the words he wanted.After being silent for a long time, the stomach speaks before the mouth.

After grunting, Gu Chao said coldly, "I'm hungry."

Gu Yunlan noticed that her younger brother was extremely awkward, so she didn't say much.He just smiled and patted his head, and called for someone to prepare the dishes.

"Is it delicious? It's made in my brother's private kitchen. It's not a skill that the people in Guanglu Temple can compare to." Gu Yunlan spoke in a brisk tone, presumably very satisfied with her small kitchen.

Gu Chao took a bite, and it was indeed more delicious than Guanglu Temple's, but it was still worse than his Yuchun Tower.

"Chaochao, the Queen Mother gave you a character called Yunming." Gu Yunlan looked at his younger brother who was eating, and said, "I don't like this word, so I will write a letter and send it to the palace later, asking my grandmother to pick one for you. Arrive Brother Shi personally went to Zongzheng Temple to change it for you."

Gu Chao swallowed the food in his mouth, shook his head, "That's it."

When Gu Yunlan heard this, she became anxious, "But how can the character 'Ming' be a stranger's character?"

Gu Chao didn't care about it, he just concentrated on eating.Gu Yunlan could tell that Gu Chao didn't want him to slap the Queen Mother in the face because of this matter.

"Brother must find a way to change it for you."

Gu Yunlan herself is outstanding in everything, and was deeply loved by the late emperor.After the former crown prince was injured and passed away in the battle, Gu Yunlan's voice was the loudest.In the end, he became the prince by virtue of his unprecedented firearms.

The prince did not last long, and the former emperor passed away.

Gu Yunlan ascended the throne as emperor.

But the voices of Gu Yunlan's murder of his father and enthronement gradually sounded in the court.The first emperor himself was in good health, but suddenly passed away without any symptoms, anyone would think about something.

The queen mother's family is quite powerful, and it has existed since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, like a giant tree stationed on the ground.They infiltrated everywhere in the court, and they were intertwined. All the cronies of the previous prince began to work for the queen mother.

The situation in the DPRK and China was tense, even if Gu Yunlan had absolute force, it was impossible to kill them all without saying a word.

He was a bound dragon right now, and he had nothing to do if he couldn't catch the opponent's braid.

"Brother, forget it." Gu Chao ate without looking at Gu Yunlan.

Gu Yunlan only picked up the chopsticks and picked up a chopsticks dish for her younger brother.Neither of the brothers spoke again.
