The thick clouds were blown away by the strong wind, and the moon hiding behind the clouds finally revealed its fat face.
It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon has become festive.
When Li Luansong returned to the private room, Zelan came up and asked, "Madam, did you call me?"
"Sit down and let's have a drink."
Zelan glanced at the dark sky outside and said with difficulty: "Aren't you going home? It's so late."
"Is it late? It's not too late." He took off his coat, folded it carefully and put it aside. "Sit down and stay down. Your wife is treating you today. There is no shop like this after passing this village."
"Okay." Zelan said without hesitation, "I'll ask the shopkeeper to order."
After saying that, he ran out.
It's almost Haishi, and the streets are still brightly lit and bustling.
As the capital of Daye, Jin'an is the most prosperous place. Emperor Xiaochun was a very diligent emperor. After the battles in the past few years, Daye's vitality was severely damaged. In just two or three years, most of the conditions in various places have been restored. In the capital, there is no curfew, no house closing, and no The level of collecting relics can be described as an outstanding achievement.
Li Luansong sat by the window, looking at the bustling market and the bustling crowds, and truly felt the excellence of his father. In fact, he was a good father in his heart. He grew up with him, taught him to read and calligraphy, took him to ride horses and fight, and did everything by himself.
Although he had many concubines, he was always the most sincere, honest, and missing his mother the most. Shen Que was right, he also had many sons, but to be fair, he was the one who loved them the most.
Thinking of this, Li Luansong felt that his past self-willedness of only fighting and not studying seemed to have failed his father's good intentions, and he should change something.
As the saying goes, a prodigal son can never change his fortune.
That must be the prodigal son who really comes back. At this time, His Highness, Prince Jin, can only think about it casually and cannot do anything.
When Zelan came up, a large table was covered with dishes.
"They are all my lady's favorite food." The little girl was very proud. "My lady has not been this free and easy for a long time. Today, I will have fun with my lady."
One advantage of having this girl here is that you can only focus on eating. Her mouth can keep talking besides eating.
for example:
"Just now, the fifth lady ran out again. You must have seen it, tsk tsk, tsk tsk, I heard sister Zijuan in her room say that the fifth lady seems to be lovesick recently. When she is at home alone, she is distracted or in a daze. Or she would just keep sleeping, and when she got up, she would start primping herself, and even ask Zijuan to buy a lot of those clothes. Wow, wow, it's so ugly. She doesn't look like a lady. It's just... Hi, Stop talking, we can’t talk.”
Li Luansong: ...You didn’t say much either.
"Yesterday, I heard that the third master and the third wife had another quarrel. It seemed that the third master had given birth to two girls, and she wanted to have a son. The third master was not cooperative." The little girl covered her mouth and giggled, "Tell me, the third master How thin have you become? Isn’t the Third Lady a bit too fierce..."
Li Luansong: ...Is this woman so... open when chatting in private?
"The second wife does have a son, but as you can see today, don't look at her majesty as the head of the family. It's over. I want my servant to tell me, who is she and who are you? Our wife has been in charge of the shop since she was a child. In the business here, how many people are not allowed to listen to your orders, can Song Qingyue compare to you? Not to mention Song Qingyue, if you look at it as a slave, even that... the Crown Prince can't compare to you."
Li Luansong: ...I plan to get a small notebook and write down all Zelan’s sayings.
"The second wife must have fallen into trouble today. I didn't expect that she would do such a thing. It's really embarrassing. Her brother who can't stand up to the wall is just a shame. Now he's fine. Together with our husband. She was also implicated, what a disaster.”
Li Luansong paused and stared at her. Zelan felt that he had made his wife sad when he mentioned Lang Jun. He didn't know what to say, so he heard Li Luansong ask:
"What did you say? Sepi? Did he bully you?"
"ah."
Zelan said that was impossible, "I don't care whose brother he is. We practice kung fu with my wife every day and secretly learned a few moves. Then I gave him a good beating."
As he spoke, he proudly gestured with his fists, "It's just a little weak and not very lethal, but it's enough to deal with him."
Li Luansong smiled and said: "Good girl, good job. I'll teach you some serious tricks tomorrow. You can use them later to protect your eldest wife."
Zelan said: "No, how can I protect the eldest lady's current skills?"
After saying that, he felt something was wrong again, so he looked at Li Luansong and asked, "Madam, when I mentioned your husband just now, aren't you worried?"
Li Luansong continued to drink and eat, and said in a straight voice: "I'm worried, is it useful?"
Zelan nodded thoughtfully: "Actually, I know that since you married into this family, your husband has been lukewarm towards you. I can see it clearly. I am afraid that my wife has been cold-hearted for a long time. But, in the past, my wife was still cold-blooded." I have fulfilled my duty, but now, my wife is a bit careless about the life and death of others."
Li Luansong was right, "For a family like that, don't you have to only care about yourself? Is there a good person in that family?"
Zelan said right, "I have figured it out a long time ago. As long as the lady is good, the slave will support you. In the past, the lady lived too hard, but now she can think about it. This is a good thing. Think about the lady when she was a child, how happy she was then." .”
Li Luansong listened and thought about something in his mind. He raised his eyes and glanced at Zelan, filled her glass with wine and said:
"Well, tell me again about my past."
Zelan was already half drunk, and asked with a red face: "Why, you still didn't remember it."
"Well, I didn't remember. Tell me the details, such as what you like to eat, drink, watch, and do you have any hobbies? The more detailed the better."
Zelan should have opened up the chatterbox completely... He kept talking all night long, and his mouth was dry. He drank more and more, and became more and more confused, until he was carried by Li Luansong to the car. The little girl Already drunk and unconscious.
The streets are full of fireworks, the lights are dim, and the fragrance is overflowing. There is a sense of stability and beauty in this world.
Li Luansong decided to stroll back by himself, walked through an alley, and returned to Qinglong Street. Zhang's Mansion was at the end of Qinglong Street.
The door of the mansion has long been closed, and Li Luansong plans to enter through the side door. The side door is in the deep alley opposite Qinglong Street. There is no light and it is a bit dark.
He thought he was a good drinker, but he didn't expect that this lady's body was too weak. She only had a few glasses of sake, and she was a little drunk.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, he found that the side door opened from the inside, and a woman walked out, it was Song Qingyue.
Why was she going so late at night?
There was a buzz in Li Luansong's head, and he immediately hid in the shadows. Song Qingyue went out furtively, looked around and found no one, and walked quickly past him, followed closely by Li Luansong.
With many years of combat experience, His Highness Prince Jin effortlessly followed Song Qingyue through two intersections and arrived at the entrance of a house.
The person who opened the door for Song Qingyue was a young man. The two quickly entered the courtyard. Li Luansong looked at the courtyard wall and saw that it was not high, so he lifted up his clothes and climbed over the wall.
The yard is not big. There is a lamp in the main hall, and the shadows of the two people are projected on the window.
"Give me back the money. Do you know that the question is false? My family is about to be ruined now."
It was Song Qingyue's voice.
"Sister, this kind of thing is something that anyone would rather fight than suffer. How can you blame me?"
"I don't care, please return the money to me, or I will sue the government."
"You have a good idea, the money cannot be withdrawn. If you want to sue the official, just go ahead and sue. To tell you the truth, we also have big people behind us. If you sue, it will be in vain."
"What a big shot, what a big shot. Our eldest son, the fourth-grade minister, has been sent to prison. Who are you trying to scare?"
"Tch, a fourth-grade minister is nothing, our master lives there."
Li Luansong lay on the wall and saw the direction the man's shadow was pointing - the palace.
Sure enough, Li Luansong decided that this witness, who had obtained it without any effort, must be captured.
However, just when he was about to climb over the wall and jump in, a tile fell under his feet and made a sound, and the lights in the room suddenly went out.
It's over, I've been discovered, it's all because of this lady's dress, it's too much in the way.
Li Luansong jumped off the wall lightly and landed in the dark shadow.
The door of the room opened, and under the moonlight you could see the man holding a short knife. Song Qingyue was forced to leave the room:
"Go quickly, otherwise I won't be responsible if something happens."
Song Qingyue finally gave up. Life was more important than money, so she didn't dare to say anything and ran away.
The man closed the courtyard door and started searching. He looked like he knew some boxing and kicking skills. His steps were light and steady.
Normally, how could Li Luansong hide away, but now, his body is too weak.
You can't do it by force, you can only do it wisely.
Seeing that the man was about to walk up to him, Li Luansong said softly "Ouch", and the man was startled: "Who?"
"Mr. Lang."
A young lady's delicate voice sounded, "My feet are sprained."
He sat sideways on the ground, looking delicate and frail. The man was stunned, glanced at the high wall behind him, and asked, "How did you get in?"
"I came with Mrs. Song just now."
"She brought someone here? Then why didn't I see you just now?" The man was shocked, "Who are you?"
"Mr. Lang, please wait before you ask. You entered the house just now. Mrs. Song didn't let me in. She asked me to wait here. It's too dark here and I have sprained my feet. Please help me and help me up."
He wanted to induce the man to relax his guard, and then wait for him to get close and defeat the enemy with one move.
The man thought for a while and walked over, but he held the short knife tightly and showed no signs of relaxing.
Li Luansong said: "Lang Jun, let me tell you, I am the sister of the Song family. She was afraid of coming alone at night, so she asked me to accompany you. And she was afraid that you would be suspicious, so she asked me to follow you quietly. You see, she She is the second wife of the Zhang family. She has a younger brother taking part in this year's imperial examination. I bought the questions from you, am I right?"
The man came closer, and under the faint moonlight, Li Luansong looked at him with a worried look: "Who would have thought that she left alone, and didn't care about me."
The young lady is soft and delicate, with a pear-blossom-like appearance, plus Shen Que is a stunning beauty in the capital. Her every smile and frown make people's hearts flutter. It is a common problem among men to cherish a woman's beauty and cherish her jade.
Yes, it's a disease.
The man stretched out a hand and handed it to him, motioning for her to help her stand up. Li Luansong tried twice, but still couldn't stand up. The soft and tender catkins tickled him unbearably, so he put the short knife into his waist and moved his hands towards Li Luansong.
Just when Li Luansong was about to help him, he quickly reached out to his waist with one hand and pulled out the dagger. He stood behind the man in a flash and placed the dagger in his hand at the man's Adam's apple.
The cold blade was so sharp that the man took two steps back and did not dare to move.
"Who exactly are you?"
"Your grandpa."
Just as Li Luansong was escorting him out, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps. Before he could react, a group of men in black broke into the courtyard. They confronted each other. The men in black drew their swords and stabbed him. Li Luansong held the witness tightly in his hands. Confront those men in black.
After all, he was outnumbered, and not only did he bring someone with him, he was also a woman, and he was stabbed in the lower abdomen by someone inadvertently.
Blood gurgled and the two of them were forced into a corner.
