During the few days Liniang stayed in Kyoto, she sat in a teahouse and learned most of the current affairs in the capital. It turned out that the Lu family was so valued by the officials.
The Lu family has a great business. Mr. Lu has three sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Lu Yuejing, is the chief admonisher in the court and has one son and one daughter.
The eldest daughter Lu Yinchen was a concubine in the harem, and the second son Lu Yuanqi invited himself to guard the frontier, returning to Kyoto every few years. The youngest son is Lu Linjian, who is good at literature and martial arts. He is both an admonisher and the commander of the imperial army. The youngest daughter Lu Yuanyuan is seventeen years old.
The palace was also deeply favored by the emperor. The current empress was Sister Wang Chun, the eldest daughter of the royal family at that time. The palace made a lot of efforts for the official to ascend the throne, and the official promised that the eldest daughter of the royal family would be the queen.
Liniang seemed to have heard Liu Yuanqing say that his aunt was married to the Wang family in Kyoto...
All kinds of things in Kyoto came to Liniang's ears, but Liniang only listened to them for fun and devoted herself to finding clues in Liuli Lane.
It was just a matter of asking shop after shop, but it was really hard to find. After all, my parents had been in Kyoto for nearly 20 years. I also found some household chores. They were doing odd jobs and dispensing medicine in a small medical clinic. Take note of medication orders, etc.
There were many people like Liniang who stayed in the inn for a long time, but these days Liniang noticed a very strange young man.
Everyone calls him sir. The pavilion is next to hers. He seems to be very familiar with everyone in the inn. He enters the inn door and greets the boy. "A-Liang, bring me a cup of tea." The boy said, stepping forward and pouring it diligently.
Liniang was having lunch in the inn hall and raised her eyes to investigate his actions. She saw the young man talking to him deliberately, as if he was mumbling something in a notebook. Before Liniang could hear clearly, she saw the young man looking at her with interest. Found out…
A little embarrassed, he lowered his head to eat. After eating, he was about to go out to the small medical clinic to help.
The young boy named A Liang said flatteringly, "Madam, where are you going?"
Liniang also felt that this little boy was weird and often stared at her. She felt that his eyes were a little malicious, but she was afraid that she would think too much.
At this moment, he politely replied, "Go outside to find a job." He raised his feet and left.
Liu Na and Aliang stood in front of the counter and watched her go away. This little lady was so beautiful, but she actually went to find a job. If she hadn't let her follow him...he would treat her well and hide his little thoughts in his heart.
It was almost dusk when Liniang came out of the medical clinic. She went to several shops and asked about the original location of the Li Family Medical Clinic more than ten years ago, but they all said they didn't know.
A little frustrated, the owner of a shop saw her like this and couldn't bear to say, "Girl, if you really want to find her, don't ask the people in the shop anymore. The tenants of shops in Kyoto are ever-changing. Today they are this and tomorrow they are that. Where are the people?" I know where the original one is. If you want to ask, ask those people at the end of the alley who have lived in Liuli Lane for several lifetimes. Maybe they still remember it a little bit."
Liniang thanked the shop owner and went to the end of Liuli Lane. She saw an old woman standing at the door of the shop with a flag next to her.
Liniang walked up to ask, only to find that the flag said fortune telling, and it turned out to be a magic stick.
Xin Dao still did not miss a chance and went up to ask, "Mother-in-law, do you know that there was a medical clinic in Liuli Lane more than ten or twenty years ago. The doctor's surname was Li and his wife's surname was Xu? The original location of their medical clinic was where?"
The old woman raised her eyes and looked at Liniang, pointed to the plate in front of her, and indicated that she would give her money to tell her fortune.
Liniang had no choice but to take out the silver coins and put them on the plate. The old woman asked her birth date. Liniang felt troubled. She never believed in fortune telling, so she said directly, "Mother-in-law, please stop teasing me. Tell me quickly." "
But the old woman insisted, "I will do the work after receiving the money."
Liniang had no choice but to compromise and tell her her birth date. The old woman held Liniang's hand with one hand and shook it with the other, closing her eyes and mumbling.
After a while, the old woman's turbid eyes opened with an unpredictable moo. She stared at Liniang and said, "Madam, I have never seen this divination in all these years. The stars are changing, the fate is unpredictable, and the auspicious star is shining in front. Much support from Mo Mou, but then there are several disasters. The dust stirs up, and the fate is full of twists and turns. This disaster is destined, and it is useless for you to resist. Marriage has changed, and the peach blossoms are very good. I am destined to be married to that person, but in the end my fate will be deep. The fate is shallow, let’s look at fate…”
Liniang was stunned when she heard this. When the old woman finally finished speaking, she asked the old woman again for information about her father and mother.
The old woman was silent for a while, "I am already an old man here in Liuli Lane. Although twenty years have passed, I still have some memories of the medical center you mentioned. You said that the doctor's surname was Li. If I didn't remember it, Wrong, but from the South?”
Seeing something interesting, Liniang nodded quickly. The old woman said, "That's right. There was indeed the medical clinic you mentioned in Liuli Lane twenty years ago. Later it was replaced by a tavern. Now it seems to be a teahouse, right?" That, what is it called? Qingyige."
Liniang hurriedly took notes, thanked the old woman, and headed towards the inn, planning to explore the teahouse tomorrow.
Liniang looked around blankly on her way back. The night had spread over Kyoto, and every household was lit up with lights. Thousands of houses were brightly lit.
However, the most prosperous road section is probably in the south of Kyoto. There is rarely a curfew in this dynasty. There are singing, singing and dancing in restaurants in the south of the city. The sounds of eating and drinking, the sounds of women and men laughing, and the sounds of silk, bamboo and bamboo instruments are intertwined randomly, which is particularly moving.
In the dark room on the roof of the restaurant, the person sitting in the main seat smacked the table and said angrily, "What a bunch of trash! You actually let Lu San find the trace, and the emperor became suspicious. Fortunately, now, the gates of Kyoto are fortified, Lu San With that temper, I’m afraid he won’t give up until he is investigated! It will hinder something serious!”
Several people below looked horrified. Among them, the man with his left ear wrapped in cloth came up and said, "Master, who knew that Lu San was chasing Yingnan like a mad dog? Fortunately, you came up with a plan to take him away. If he wanted to investigate, let him investigate. , I’m afraid something bad happened to him and he can’t be investigated..." His eyes became fierce, and he raised his lips to smile.
The person in charge said, "You think he is so easy to deal with because he is made of clay? Lu San is a smart person, and he used a dangerous trick to defeat him before. He must have guessed that it was the work of a Kyoto official. But he knows too much. You can’t stay any longer. Have Yingnan’s matters been completely dealt with?”
The man below hesitated a little and replied, "Master, don't worry, they will all be killed."
"That's good. Be careful in Kyoto these days and don't let anyone take advantage of you. The matter of dealing with Lu San needs to be considered in the long term. Just wait for my news."
"yes."
After the person in charge of the case left, someone underneath said to the man whose left ear was wrapped in cloth, "Brother, the people left in Yingnan have not finished the matter... If the master finds out, we..."
"That's why we can't tell the master. If we do, I'm afraid we'll both die. We have to keep our mouths shut about this matter."
Conspiracies are being planned in this crowded restaurant. Kyoto at night is not only gorgeous and bright, but also hides the unsightly evil heart hidden in people.
