Li Zian was working on official documents at home when he suddenly felt his nose itching and couldn't help but sneeze three times in a row.
The young servant Qinglin was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly went out to light a brazier, brought it into the house, and placed it on the ground not far from the desk. He was planning on asking the maids to prepare thick clothes.
The weather is getting colder and colder now. It would not be a joke if the prince accidentally catches the cold.
Fan Yuru came back from outside and saw Qing Linchu standing aside in a daze. He waved to him and sent the person away. Then he walked into the back room and said: "Master Shen and his family have arrived and have settled back home. The greeting cards have been sent as soon as possible." Come here, Sir, please see, can we arrange to meet Master Shen the day after tomorrow?"
"Well, you can do whatever you want." Li Zian originally wanted to say that it would be fine tomorrow, but then he thought about it. He could take Shen Tianshu to the already arranged hospital to see if everything was fine tomorrow. Receiving Shen Zhonglei was just a formality. It doesn't matter if it's one day earlier or one day later.
Unexpectedly, Fan Yuru continued: "But as soon as Mr. Shen arrived, he accidentally got into trouble. I'm afraid he's still worried at home right now!"
"What's the matter? Did those people in the yamen give him authority?" After Li Zian finished speaking, before Fan Yuru could speak, he shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Although those people are loose and do not do serious work, they do not dare to follow the boss. Do it right."
Fan Yuru told the story that Shen Zhonglei met Mr. Han when he went to the city today, took the people to the government office, and now sent people all over the streets to look for witnesses.
When he heard it was Mr. Han, Li Zian's expression immediately became tangled, and he said as if he had a toothache: "Why is it so unlucky to offend that stubborn old man?
"Hey, if I had known earlier, I would have sent someone to greet him outside the city today. No matter what, I could have stopped him a little bit and wouldn't have ended up like this."
Fan Yuru was speechless, thinking that she didn't know who said she didn't want Master Shen to be labeled as a faction of Prince Rui's Mansion when he first arrived, so he couldn't be given special treatment or send someone to pick him up, but now it's the other way around.
But if Li Zian said this, he could only listen, and he couldn't directly dismantle him in person.
Li Zian thought for a moment and said, "Well, isn't Han Guangtao back from the capital? Go and help me make an appointment with this person, and say I'll treat him to a drink tonight, so we'll make an appointment with him to see if he has time."
Fan Yuru smiled when he heard this and said, "I have an appointment with the Immortal in Wine. Even if he doesn't have time, he still has to make time to attend the appointment."
Jiuzhongxian may not be said to be the best restaurant in Huguang, but it is definitely the busiest restaurant in Wuchang Prefecture today.
It is even harder to find a private room in a restaurant. Nowadays, in the entire Wuchang Mansion, only Li Zian can have a place at any time.
Han Guangtao is the grandson of Mr. Han. He just came back from the capital two months ago and has long wanted to enjoy the wine. However, the private room has been booked for more than two months, so he has never been able to go.
Li Zian used Jiuzhongxian as bait today, and the other party would definitely not refuse.
Sure enough, Fan Yuru sent someone to deliver the invitation, and Han Guangtao immediately put aside other activities that night and went to the Wine Fairy on time for the banquet.
It is not for nothing that Jiuzhongxian has become the most popular restaurant in Wuchang Prefecture.
The decoration alone is already better than other restaurants.
Even Han Guangtao, who prided himself on being well-informed in the capital, couldn't help but be a little dazzled after entering.
When he took a closer look, he found that the most dazzling thing was not the decoration, but the white flower breasts that could be seen everywhere.
Maid wearing low-cut underskirts can be seen everywhere. Various gauze garments cannot cover up the towering snow-white chest. On the contrary, they make it faintly visible and make people think.
The most rare thing is that although the maids in the Wine Fairy are boldly dressed, they are not at all frivolous like the women in the brothel. They do not flatter and seduce the guests, but on the contrary, they appear more alluring.
Li Zian saw that he didn't know where to look with his eyes, and couldn't help but sneered in his heart, but since he was asking for help today, he still had to smile on the surface.
"I've been busy dealing with things in Xirong recently. Brother Han has been back in Huguang for so long, and he didn't even take the time to entertain him. It's my fault. I'll fine him three drinks later to make amends to Brother Han. "
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. After I came back, I heard my grandfather talk about Xirong. I knew that you must be involved in official duties, so I didn't dare to disturb you.
"As for all my sons and daughters in Daqi, there is no one who doesn't hate Xirong. You are busy with important things for the country and the people. I only hate that I can't do anything in literature and martial arts. I can't do my best. How can I be blamed for this? For you!"
The two of them went up the side stairs to the third floor while chatting.
Although he didn't say it to the outside world, before he opened a restaurant in Wuchang Mansion, the shopkeeper of Jiuzhongxian specially found someone to introduce him and used 20% of the proceeds as a gift to ask for the blessing of Prince Rui's Mansion.
Therefore, the best location on the third floor is never open to the public. It is a private room specially reserved for Prince Rui's residence.
It is precisely because of this that Li Zian can come whenever he wants.
After entering the private room, Li Zian and Han Guangtao took their seats respectively, while Fan Yuru accompanied them at the bottom.
Soon a handsome maid served wine and food.
The maid in the private room on the second floor has the same breasts as the one on the first floor, but the underskirt only reaches her knees.
The gauze clothes hanging on the floor could not cover her slender calves and ankles, and they became even more dazzling when she walked.
Han Guangtao felt that he was about to get drunk before he even drank, so he couldn't help but said: "No wonder it's so hard to get a seat at this restaurant. It's really full of color, fragrance, and pleasure. It's pleasing to the eye and refreshing!"
Li Zian picked up the wine glass and said, "We brothers are getting together for the first time today. I'll drink this glass first to give Brother Han a belated welcome."
As he said this, without waiting for Han Guangtao to refuse, he flipped his wrist and drank a drink.
Li Zi'an had already done it, but Han Guangtao didn't dare to take advantage of him, so he had to have a drink with him.
As soon as he put down the wine cup, a maid came up and filled it up again.
Fan Yuru, who was at the bottom, was already waiting for him with his own cup.
Although Han Guangtao had a good drinking capacity, he could not withstand the two-sided attack of Li Zian and Fan Yuru. He drank the first few glasses of wine quickly and urgently, and soon became drunk.
After getting drunk, Han Guangtao relaxed a lot and soon became brothers with the two of them.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Zian finally brought the topic to the right track: "Brother Han, actually I asked you to come out today. In addition to helping you catch the wind, I also have something else to ask for!"
Han Guangtao hugged Li Zian's shoulders and said with a smile: "Li, Brother Li, you are not being kind.
"You are the Crown Prince of Prince Rui's Mansion. There is nothing in Huguang that you can't settle?"
"To be honest, I really can't settle it." Li Zian smiled bitterly, "This matter has something to do with your old man."
"My old man?" Han Guangtao was mostly awake from the wine.
