cold hearted son-in-law

Natural residence, the first residence in China.The front gate is on Chang'an Street, the most prosperous street in the capital, and the back gate is on Xuanwu Street, where the royal relatives and relatives live, with Qinglong River on the left and Baihu Mountain on the right.Covering a vast area, the busy city is quiet, separated by a door, and there are two worlds.Rockery and lotus ponds, flowers and plants and strange rocks, pavilions and waterside pavilions, railings and galleries, are exquisite and elegant.Delicious food and wine, the aroma is striking.Princes and grandsons, rich and famous people, come here in an endless stream.

Chu Yunxi, Xiao Wei, Shi Ze and Li Mo were led in by the maid. Among the group, Shi Ze excitedly told them about the scenic spots and the poems and couplets mentioned by others. Li Mo and Xiao Wei watched dazzled.Chu Yunxi has no interest in viewing these exquisite pavilions except for their beauty. To her, there is no difference between imperial palaces and ruined temples, and she can feel at ease wherever she lives.

Chu Yunxi pulled Li Mo quietly, and after a few steps behind the people in front, they asked Li Mo in a low voice: "Have you brought any money?"

"What do you want to do?" Li Mo asked nervously, clutching the purse tightly.

"Excuse me." After Chu Yunxi finished speaking, he pretended to enjoy the scenery and looked around.

"No money!" Li Mo refused.

"You have 50 taels, which you received three days ago." Chu Yunxi smiled lightly, and said with confidence.

"How do you know?" Li Mo asked in surprise and embarrassment, his face flushed slightly, a little guilty.

"Divide half to me, and I'll tell you." Chu Yunxi lowered his voice and smiled.

"Why? The money is not illegal!" Li Mo heard that Chu Yunxi was half-open, and the guilt just now disappeared immediately, and he straightened up and wanted to leave.

"Well, let me borrow 20 taels from you. I will buy clothes and some jewelry for Xiaowei later. Is it okay to give you an IOU when I go back?" Chu Yunxi held Li Mo in a low voice and said, touched the purse and sighed .She is really poor.A scholar from the Sixth Grade Imperial Academy received half of his monthly salary, which was only enough to support himself and Li Mo, plus a thin horse for transportation.I worked so hard to write "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" and took it to print. I bought two sets of pens, ink, paper and inkstones with the money I earned, and added new clothes for Li Mo and myself.

"Here, just treat it as a meeting gift for Xiao Wei. You don't have to pay it back." Li Mo handed over the purse and sighed helplessly.

"If you say it is a loan, you will definitely repay it. Don't worry, who of those people who came today has no money? They can blackmail half of China if they are all kidnapped! If they give Xiaowei a few meeting gifts casually, the three of us will not have to pay every day in the future." Eat radishes." Chu Yunxi laughed.

"You accept apprentices for money? If so, you remind me of 'Shameless' and 'Food from Come'." Li Mo was furious, and he threw his sleeves and walked forward.Chu Yunxi was taken aback for a moment, and then he said to himself after a while: "Shameless is better than that humble slave."

No one heard her talking to herself, but Shi was still talking about what he knew in front. There are three courtyards and six pavilions in the natural residence, nine winding corridors, eighteen water pavilions and a "wind viewing platform".Mrs. Hua and Princess Hua should now be in the 'Weiyang', the head of the three courtyards.

Chu Yunxi listened to Shi Ze's narration, and followed behind with a smile.When a few people arrived in front of the courtyard of 'Weiyang' mentioned by the flamboyant.A guard in short shirts standing outside the courtyard greeted Shi Ze, and whispered a few words beside him.

"Yunxi?" Shi Ze turned his head and shouted in a low voice, his eyes swept over Li Mo and Xiao Wei, with a bit of helplessness.

"What's the matter?" Chu Yunxi approached without missing Shi Ze's glance.

"The second prince is here too." Shi Ze had been carefully observing Chu Yunxi's expression while speaking.

"So what?" Chu Yunxi really didn't know what was wrong with the Second Prince coming.It's just that I met too many people for a meal today, from the royal family to the officials in Huaxia Kingdom, it's too free!

"Master, you and your lord go to accompany the nobleman, Xiao Wei will go back to the mansion first." Xiao Wei who had been quiet all this time looked at Chu Yunxi and said.

"Why?" Chu Yunxi asked confusedly, "Xiao Wei, are you afraid of meeting strangers?"

"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? The two nobles won't blame you, which doesn't mean the second prince won't. What are you asking?" Shi Ze laughed angrily.

"He doesn't understand the world." Li Mo, who had been watching Chu Yunxi's embarrassment, finally spoke.Both Shi Ze and Xiao Wei were stunned.

"Emperors are honored and do not sit with commoners. Don't you know that?" Shi Ze asked curiously and tentatively.

"What kind of broken rule is this? I've never heard of it, but now I know, so what? Xiao Wei, you take the money and change into clean and tidy clothes and come here. Li Mo, you go in with me first." Chu Yunxi He gave the purse to Xiao Wei, and then went into the courtyard alone.

The small path in the courtyard leads to a secluded place, and there is a faint music coming from the house, Mrs. Hua and her party are already seated.The rectangular single low table of pineapple wood is set separately, with Mrs. Hua on the left and the eldest princess on the right.On the left, under Mrs. Hua, a handsome young man of thirteen or fourteen was sitting. His hair was like black ink, his eyebrows were drawn into his temples, the corners of his eyes were raised, his nose was straight and straight, and his thin lips were slightly pursed.Wearing a black jade crown, a black brocade suit embroidered with beautiful mountains and rivers with black gold silk, and a delicate and elegant black suit that is calm and solemn regardless of age.It should be the second prince Huangfuze.Under the second prince was Bai Shaotang, who leaned back on the chair, plucking the sword in his right hand as if bored, and the sound of the sword falling was endless.Below him is Li Tai who is smiling like a fox. With a smile on his lips, Li Tai is playing with the cup in his hand, but his eyes are always in the direction of Mrs. Hua.Under Li Tai, there were two others, Li Geng, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Wei Zhixian, Minister of Rites. They sat respectfully, as if they were listening to the music carefully.

Sitting next to the eldest princess on the right is Qin Jue. Qin Jue is sitting upright, his eyes are peeking at the eldest princess besides looking at the people opposite.After Qin Jue was Song Qiwen who lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, and next to Song Qiwen was Xiao Yichen.Xiao Yichen smiled lightly and shook his fan, listening quietly to the music.

In the middle of the room there is a woman playing piano music, a beautiful and picturesque person.Those facial features are exquisite and enchanting, so beautiful that they are almost enchanting.In the book, "one point more is too long, one point less is too short; powder is too white, Shizhu is too red" is written for such women.She is wearing a light blue lily embroidered long dress, her hair is coiled up, a jasper hairpin is inserted obliquely, and she is wearing a small peony-shaped pendant. On the three-layer peony flower stamen coiled by gold wire, there is a drop-shaped soybean-sized drop like Crystal clear light colored sapphire.

Chu Yunxi took a serious look at the woman, then dragged Shi Ze, who looked at him stupidly, to salute the eldest princess and Mrs. Hua, and then saluted the others one by one, sitting next to Xiao Yichen, and then Li Mo.Shi was pushed to sit on the table and chair next to Song Qiwen.Except for the sound of the piano, the house was silent.

"Cousin, who is this person?" Chu Yunxi asked Xiao Yichen in a low voice.

"Qianqian." Seeing the astonishment and curiosity in Chu Yunxi's eyes, Xiao Yichen didn't want to say more after uttering two words.

At the end of the song, the woman got up and bowed to everyone, "Little girl Qianqian pays tribute to all the nobles." As soon as the words were finished, the shopkeeper outside the door personally led a young man in.When everyone saw that it was the prince, they all got up and wanted to greet him.

"Everyone sit down, I'm here in a hurry, I'm disturbing everyone's pleasure." The crown prince Huangfu accepted the jade crown and purple robe, and he was gentle and courteous. I hadn’t returned to the mansion for a long time, so I wanted to look for it. I happened to hear that there was a strange person on the street who used acupuncture to revive a woman whose body was already cold, and then went to the natural residence. I just thought that if this person is really so miraculous, the empress’s stubborn illness will be fixed. It can be cured. So I asked Shopkeeper Wang and found out that everyone is here, so I came to see it, and you don’t have to be restrained.”

"Go and find strange people, can they be free here?" Mrs. Hua said with a smile, and then motioned everyone to go back to everyone.

"Since we're here, let's have dinner together." The eldest princess glanced at Shopkeeper Wang, who nodded, and brought in a long red sandalwood table and chairs outside, and placed them in the middle in front of Mrs. Hua and the eldest princess.After a while, a group of maidservants came in one after another carrying delicious food and wine.

"Sister Xie, in fact, the strange person I was looking for alone is in this room." The prince said with a smile.

Chu Yunxi lowered his head and focused on looking at the seasonal seafood and exotic animals on the table.

The room fell silent again, only the faint sound of the piano remained.Everyone looked at the three people who came in later, and finally they all focused on Chu Yunxi.

But the person involved seemed to be unknown, counting the large and small dishes on the table.

On the table are four dim sums at the beginning: tea slices, almond bergamot, crispy apples, wishful cakes, and four sweet fruits: candied apples, candied longan, candied fresh peaches, and candied green plums.

Then there are five appetizers: Longfeng Chengxiang, Hongzi chicken shredded cucumber, Fuzi melon roast pork tenderloin, Wanzi spicy tripe shreds, and Nianzi mushroom hair dish.

Then comes the main course: anchovy shark's fin, wild duck with eight treasures, bergamot golden roll, fried cuttlefish shreds, hydrangea scallops, fried guinea fowl, palace fried hare, fish fillets with milk sauce, dried sea cucumber, mushroom duck feet, colorful beef Willow, lotus tofu, and Longjing bamboo fungus soup.Some of the dishes served one after another can be called by their names, and some she can't recognize, but the dishes are exquisite in shape and delicious.

Chu Yunxi really wanted to kick away the people who toasted her, but she watched a lot of such delicacies.

"Come on, Lord Chu, I will try to be an official in the same dynasty together, this cup is toast to you." Li Tai said with a smile.

"Oh, Master Li, do it." Chu Yunxi's face was flushed from drinking.

"Lord Chu, we are destined to meet each other, and this cup is toast to you." Bai Shaotang raised his glass.

"Ah? Oh, do it!" Chu Yunxi drank it as soon as he raised his neck.

"Master Chu, young and promising, it's also the first time we drink together, do it." Li Tai raised his glass and drank.

"Oh, oh, do it." Chu Yunxi felt that something was wrong. From the beginning of serving the dishes, these people, except Mrs. Hua and the eldest princess, had never had a drink with her, and the others were just getting her drunk.Song Qiwen, Shi Ze and Xiao Yichen were fine, but Li Tai and Bai Shaotang joined forces to drink with her.Chu Yunxi refused these people for some reason, and he was not a person who could pretend to be drunk. Even when he wanted to pee, Li Tai followed him out.

"Call Xiaowei over here, go quickly." Chu Yunxi was leaning against the tree trunk. Suddenly someone passed by the tree and was grabbed by the sleeve. Chu Yunxi said without raising his head. Chu Yunxi inhaled the famous fragrance and closed his eyes, feeling a splitting headache.

"Drink too much? I asked someone to bring a bowl of hangover soup." The eldest princess wanted to pull back her sleeve, but unfortunately failed.

"Call Xiaowei over here to get the gift, they are all bullying me." Chu Yunxi grabbed the eldest princess's sleeve and shook it, his eyes seemed to be foggy, it was a pity.

"Okay, you let go first." The eldest princess saw him drunk and naive, with a gentle expression, and patiently coaxed her, but her hands were so tight that she didn't pull out her sleeves.

"Well, go quickly." Chu Yunxi suddenly let go.The eldest princess was pulling hard, but Shun Li staggered back a few steps before she stood still.

"Chu Yunxi!" The eldest princess shouted, gritted her teeth and looked at the person in front of her.Seeing someone approaching this way, he gave Chu Yunxi a hard look, and quickly turned around to hide his figure.

Chu Yunxi half-opened her eyes, watching the figure of that person leave, watching a person approaching secretly, and her new apprentice Xiao Wei also approaching from another fork in the road.Xiao Weiyi is dressed in Tsing Yi, wearing a veil, her eyes are as clean as glass, which is not as clean as the one who left.
