NOVEL NEXT Chapter 8 - deceased
After leaving the shop, Xia Chu handed him the brocade box, and Su Qianan took it. When Xia Chu saw that he was dull, he said, “For you.”
“Give me?”
“The color you picked, the tassels you used. Or else?”
“Thank you, young master.” Su Qian’an tightened her hand on the box.
“You can see the shop for yourself. It’s up to you whether you want to sell knives or continue to sell them. The guys are all ready-made. In the future, you only need to be a shopkeeper and take care of the people on the second floor.”
“Then don’t change it. Anyway, I will follow the young master when he comes back.”
“A golden horse and an iron horse can swallow thousands of miles like a tiger.” Xia Chu stopped, looked at Su Qian’an and asked, “Qian’an, do you want to join the army in the future and make a career?”
“No, I just want to follow the young master.” Su Qianan emphasized again.
Xia Chu supported his forehead, thinking in his heart how Su Qianan became a famous general in his last life…
Well, let’s talk about it later.
Xia Chu pointed to the lively crowd in front of him and said, “Let’s go and watch the juggling show.”
Xia Chu couldn’t help being a little dumbfounded when he really walked over.
Here, the people on the inner three floors and the outer three floors were surrounded by water. He looked at Su Qian’an’s height, and when he went to that station, he was a head taller than everyone else. Look at your height again, at this station, you are a head shorter than others.
“Or, young master. I’ll carry you?”
Xia Chu snorted and turned away. Su Qianan quickly followed.
When I lost my interest in playing, and seeing that the sun was about to set, I took Su Qianan directly to Yinweizhai.
This drink restaurant is a century-old restaurant, and it was called delicious restaurant more than ten years ago.
It is said that when the present emperor had not yet ascended the throne and was a prince, he always loved to come here to eat.
Once I drank too much with Xu Wanjun, the current servant of the household department. When it comes to the name of the store, I feel that it is not elegant enough. He asked for a pen and ink, and murmured in his mouth: “I can’t drink all the utensils, and the half-intoxicating taste is especially long.” Then he wrote down this drink.
If the store owner is a treasure, the author made a plaque and hangs it in front of the store.
After the emperor ascended the throne, this restaurant has become a place for dignitaries and nobles to dine on a daily basis.
Xiao Yanjun of the previous life often brought her here to make friends with the ministers in the court, and he also told her these allusions. Thinking of Xiao Yanjun’s face that made Xia Chu Ruyu’s face, he suddenly became sullen.
Entering the door, Xiao Er greeted him with a smile on his face.
“Two guest officers, do you have a reservation?”
“Xiahou Mansion.”
“It turned out to be the noble of Xiahou Mansion. I have reserved it for you in the spring breeze. Please come here.”
After entering the private room and sitting down, Xiao Er stood aside and asked respectfully, “What do you want to eat, our Zhaizi has simmered beef tendon meat, Wuyue soup, stewed soft-shelled turtle, cannon lamb, vinegar-cooked goose…”
Xia Chu raised his hand to interrupt him.
“West Lake Vinegar Fish, Dongpo Pork, Longjing Shrimp, Butterfly Floating in the Sea, Rock Sugar Xianglian, Sai Crab Soup. Another jar of Blue Bridge Fengyue.”
Xiao Er’s face was full of surprise: “Noble people come often?”
Xia Chu didn’t answer his words, and ordered: “Go down, and bring up the pair of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.”
“Yes.” Xiao Er bowed his head and retreated, still muttering in his heart. No, if he saw such a noble young man, he would never forget it.
Su Qianan stood aside and looked at the brooding Xia Chu. He had not looked at Xia Chu carefully. At this time, he held his cheek with his left hand, and his eyebrows grew into his temples. A pair of smart almond eyes, thick and slightly curled eyelashes. The fair skin, lined with red lips slightly opened under the bridge of the nose, was actually very attractive.
Xia Chu’s right hand was buckled on the table, and his index finger tapped the table. Seemingly feeling his gaze, he raised his head to look at Su Qian’an.
Su Qianan was embarrassed and quickly turned her head away. I thought to myself, if the young master grows out in another two years, this face will still be worth it.
There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Er brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Su Qianan laid out the rice paper for him and handed him a pen.
Xia Chu held a pen and thought for a moment.
Swipe down and write: Xuanzhewei people, Wenwuwei queen. Inscription cited.
After the ink was dry, Xia Chu folded the letter and handed it to Su Qianan.
“You secretly go to the kitchen of the Prime Minister’s Mansion and find a servant named Li Qiang. Give this letter to him, and after he reads it, bring him here.”
Su Qian’an took the letter, carefully put it in her arms, turned around and stepped back in response.
Xia Chu sighed, got up and walked to the window.
It was dark outside the window, and darkness shrouded.
He breathed a little heavy and pinched his brows. Thinking about the old man he was about to meet, he was one of his few friends in the last life. Of course, he is also Xiao Yanjun’s person. Moreover, he is Xiao Yanjun’s most effective advisor.
This person is stoic, long-sleeved and good at dancing. He is also good at gathering intelligence, which has laid an indispensable cornerstone for Xiao Yanjun’s many decisions.
Xia Chu had a similar temperament with him and had a very good personal relationship. The secrets of the rivers and lakes and the secret affairs of the palace were all used by him as a drink to talk about and have a good time with Xia Chu.
I remember one time, Xiao Yanjun went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion for a banquet. He was in a bad mood and dragged Xia Chu to drink stuffy wine on the roof.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Xia Chu found a topic to ask him.
“Why is such a handsome young man with seven orifices and an exquisite heart, willing to hide in the dark to do things for Xiao Yanjun?”
He was drinking a pot of Lanqiao Fengyue at the time, which was probably suffocating and easy to get drunk. There was no longer the day-to-day smile in his eyes, and there was a layer of resentment in his eyes. Then he laughed at himself and said, “What about hiding in the dark? Back then, I easily disguised myself as a servant under the pseudonym Li Qiang, fetching water and chopping wood in the kitchen of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, hoping to poison Du Hanfei every day…”
That night, Xia Chu knew his identity, his hatred, and his enemies…
“Master.” Su Qian’an’s voice sounded outside the door.
“Come in.” Xia Chu took her breath away from her memories. Turning around, he saw Su Qianan opening the door, leading a servant in a gray shirt.
“Go and let Xiao Er serve the food.”
Su Qianan should have stepped back.
The servant stared at Xia Chu, and Xia Chu also looked at him. The appearance after the disguise is really ordinary, the kind that can’t be found in the crowd. Xia Chu couldn’t help but smile, and he really didn’t match the name of the humble gentleman who was as close as he remembered.
There was another knock on the door, and Xia Chu hummed. Xiao Er pushed the door open to serve the food, and after the last jar of wine was set, he followed Su Qianan respectfully and retreated.
Xia Chu sat down and poured two glasses of wine. A cup was pushed to him, a cup in his hand. Condensing the fine wine in the cup, he said softly, “Let it go. Your favorite Lanqiao Fengyue is brewed by the red yeast in your hometown.”
The man who was called Zuo shivered slightly all over his body. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he still couldn’t hide the fear in his heart. In the cold winter season of the twelfth lunar month, he was covered in a layer of cold sweat.
He looked at the glass of wine, the wine from his hometown. He looked at the dish on the table, it was the dish of his hometown. Not only that, the dishes on the table were all dishes that he loved to eat in the past, but hadn’t eaten in nine years.
He was terrified of the unknown.
He didn’t know if he could kill the boy in front of him.
