As soon as this young man said a word, the blame shifted from Mr. Chang to Mr. Li's housekeeper and two companions. When the teahouse owner Wang Lifa and the old patrolman heard this, they realized that this was a bastard, and he might be a nobleman who didn't know the heights of the world. Children.
The housekeeper of the Li Mansion glanced over here, and based on the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, he didn't say anything - who knows who this guy is? In today's capital, there are as many princes as dogs and marquises everywhere. It's fine to bully and bully the common people yourself, so why bother to make yourself angry.
Unexpectedly, I didn't want to cause trouble, but things happened to him instead. Seeing that he was silent, the young master pointed at the folding fan in his hand and said, "How dare you ignore me? Well, you three can bring it over to him!"
As the young master spoke, everyone around him clicked their knuckles, stood up and moved their necks while walking, as if the words "not a good person" were clearly written on their faces.
The housekeeper stopped snoring this time and said to the two patrolmen with a straight face: "Bad luck! Are you okay? I'll leave first." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave.
The young patrolman gritted his teeth and said: "Give me the money for the medicine first, otherwise the matter will not be over!" When the old patrolman saw that the housekeeper had acted softly, he also interjected: "These two who beat people, are you with us?" Want to take a trip?"
The butler's nose was almost crooked with anger. He looked at the two patrolmen carefully, pointed with his finger and said: "Okay! Okay! I'll remember you..." Before he could finish speaking, the outstretched finger was already touched by that One of the young master's companions grabbed it in his hand and pushed it upwards, and the housekeeper knelt down with a cry.
When the two attackers saw this, they were about to rescue the housekeeper. Just as they were about to rush up, the three others also arrived, but they didn't make any big moves. Three times, five divided by two, they made a pile of the two plates. Soft bones and numbness of muscles.
The three men were held up by their neck collars and came towards the young master. The butler saw something bad and hurriedly announced his family background: "Our family is from Wu Qingbo's house, the emperor's grandfather's house - you should show your talents in recruiting, don't give Trouble at home!”
As soon as the leader shouted these words, there was a huge uproar in the teahouse. Half of the tea-goers in the room looked at Mr. Chang sympathetically, while the other half stood up and ran away. This is a true relative of the emperor!
The knowledgeable heart said that there will be blood in the fight. What should we do if the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division asks us to testify? If you say something fair, it's not a crime for Wu Qingbo's house to worry about you. If you don't say something fair, your conscience won't let you go. Some of them didn't have to cause trouble. Although they wanted to watch the fun, they still left.
When Wang Lifa was selling tea at the entrance of Goulan Hutong, he only knew that this person was the housekeeper of Uncle Li's house. He didn't say a few words to him. He didn't know his last name at all. He really didn't know his background. So big——Hearing this, his forehead was covered with sweat. The housekeeper obviously took a fancy to this shop. It's over, this time he will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die.
In such a panic, he didn't even bother to collect tea money. Fortunately, the citizens of the capital were very qualified and the boss did not bother to collect them. Most of these people threw the tea money on the table when they left. Boss Wang's eldest son Wang Shuanzi hurriedly went to collect it, but Boss Wang did not lose his capital.
Some leave, and some go in. This Yutai Teahouse opened on the street, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty was most in need of idlers. I heard that there was a lot of excitement in Yutai Teahouse, so they rushed in. Except for the young master's table, no one was standing there, and other places were almost full.
The young master frowned when he heard the housekeeper announce the name of Uncle Wu Qing's family. He sipped his teeth and wrinkled his face into a chrysanthemum shape. When the housekeeper saw this, he felt reassured. His knees, which were originally soft, suddenly stiffened, and his chest puffed up, making him unambiguous.
The young master pondered for a moment, thinking about how to resolve this embarrassment, when he looked up and saw that the teahouse was noisy and full of people. Yes, this face cannot be lost. Forget it, it’s important to let the Empress Dowager Cisheng nag a few words. Hitting the housekeeper of grandpa’s house is not hitting grandpa, so it should be fine.
Well, this young master is none other than King Zhu Yili of Lu, the first hereditary prince in the world today. This guy left the palace and opened a mansion in the eleventh year of Wanli when Zhu Yijun went to inspect Saihanba. At that time, he begged Empress Dowager Li to let him go to Jiangnan for a talent show. Only after he found a beauty from Jiangnan, who was as beautiful as Zhuang Jingjia, was he satisfied. In the spring of the twelfth year of Wanli, he took in his concubine and gave birth to his first son, who is now two months old.
Since his brother Zhu Yijun gave birth to a lot of sons, his political status has plummeted, but his favorability has skyrocketed. In order to gain the reputation of "brother, friend and brother respect" among the people, the emperor's brother and the emperor's wife, no matter what novelty, I have not forgotten this younger brother. In addition, Empress Dowager Li loved him very much, so the imperial envoys who went to Prince Lu's Mansion to convey orders and deliver things had to make several trips every day.
Let's put it this way, the place where Prince Lu lives is now called "Luwang Hutong" by the common people in the capital. It only takes two sticks of incense to walk to the outer wall of the palace - most of the people who encounter internal prisoners on this road are going to the palace to deliver things. , Empress Dowager Li even arranged for someone to deliver the delicious steamed buns with vegetarian fillings made in the small kitchen.
Such honor also comes with a price. The royal family of the Ming Dynasty held many sacrifices. Not to mention the official dates, the death anniversaries and birthdays of the ancestors, ancestors, and successive empresses totaled more than 100 days. Among them, the important days required Zhu Yili to run errands for his imperial brother—— I run outside every day, my body is in great shape, and my food tastes delicious. It’s not surprising that my round face has become slimmer and I’m a little tanned.
After two years of running like this, King Lu's legs were slippery and he developed a restless temper. Apart from running errands and offering sacrifices, he did nothing serious every day. Apart from playing horse racing and fighting crickets with the old dandy King Zhou, he just liked to listen to storytellers and so on. Zhu Yijun was afraid that he would hurt his health and strictly prohibited him from going to romantic places.
The storytellers in the capital now arrange programs based on monthly tickets and recommended tickets. They keep repeating the same old routines over and over again, and King Lu is a little tired of hearing them. It happened that Yutai Teahouse opened and this guy saw it when he was wandering around. He thought that this new teahouse might have some new jokes, so he condescended to come over and drink a pot of tea to pass the time, but he didn't expect to encounter something like this.
The gongs and drums were being beaten in front of them, and they could not retreat in front of everyone. King Lu couldn't help but changed his mind. He glanced at the housekeeper and said, "What's your name? Why haven't I seen you before?"
The housekeeper was unambiguous at this time. When he heard this, he frowned and said: "Our uncle Wu Qing's family has a great cause, and I can't run away. You kid, tell me first, who are you? Why did I provoke you? How can I provoke you?" What do you need to know?"
King Lu couldn't help but darken his face when he saw that he couldn't obey and listen, and his nostrils were pointing upward again. He ordered his guards: "Give him some ear licks to wake him up first."
The guard suppressed his laughter, grabbed the butler by the collar, and slapped him so hard that he couldn't touch the door. Not to mention that Wang Lifa and all the tea guests felt relieved, the young and old men standing behind could not stop cheering.
The butler was so angry that he was shaking all over. While being beaten, he said harshly: "Okay! Well done! You are not beating a villain like me, you are beating the emperor's face! Okay! If you dare, beat me to death!" "
Zhu Yirui felt very happy when he heard everyone cheering - suddenly he found that a door to a new world seemed to have opened in his boring life. Hearing the butler's harsh words again, he muttered: "Don't stop, did I tell you how many to hit?"
The guard kept a straight face and struck harder and harder. The housekeeper was furious at first, but then he softened again when he saw that he really couldn't control him. He opened his mouth to beg for mercy: "Don't fight! Don't fight! My name is Li." An, I’m uncle’s second housekeeper. Stop fighting! I’m convinced!”
After hearing this, Zhu Yiliu said with a straight face: "How dare you, an earl's butler, to act arrogantly? Do you dare to say that beating you would be a slap in the face of my imperial brother? My imperial brother values public opinion and the voice of the people the most. You are such a domineering person?" It’s just like smearing our clan!”
When Li An heard the word "Brother Huang", he immediately knew that this was Zhu Yili. His knees were as soft as noodles, and King Lu's guards could not lift them up even with all their strength. Seeing that he couldn't beat him hard while bending over, he loosened his grip and let him lie on the ground in humiliation, kowtowing as if he were pounding garlic.
The onlookers in the teahouse made another big fuss, hey! Today is here, this black-faced young man turns out to be the emperor's biological brother. No wonder he is so handsome and has a sense of justice. The Empress Dowager Cisheng is so good, why did she give birth to the first of the two? He murmured in his heart, but under the pressure of the prince, except for the surprise at the beginning, there was no applause. For a while, the whole hall could hear the banging sound of Li An's kowtow.
Seeing that he was honest, Zhu Yili waved to the two patrol officers to come over. After they paid homage, he smiled and said: "You sent these two beating dogs to the Military and Horse Department! Let them judge them how they want! If anyone is looking for someone to blame, you can come to me!" Onlookers Unable to hold it in any longer, the two patrolmen agreed with excitement.
Prince Lu turned his head and looked up and down at Master Chang, whose face was covered with blood. He pointed at him and said, "You coward, if you don't have the blood, don't hit someone first! Forget it, you are lucky to meet me today." , you - pay for it!" The last sentence was pointed at Li An.
The butler, whose cheeks were extremely red and swollen, gingerly took out a purse from his arms. Guard Lu Wang took it and poured it out. He saw a handful of shining dragon yuan and a large stack of banknotes, and handed them over without counting them. Then Mr. Chang. Chang Erye's face was full of tears and he bowed to take it.
Seeing that the matter was taken care of, Zhu Yijun stood up and said, "Hey, I'm having a drink of tea but being killed by this person ruins the fun. Let's go. You - pay for the tea." The guard who was pointed at was obedient and had to pay.
Wang Lifa saw the opportunity and couldn't miss it. He took two steps forward, knelt on the ground and shouted: "It's an honor for the shop to meet the prince's driver today! Please don't offend me. Don't give me any money." !”
There was no such person in King Lu's eyes, so he turned a deaf ear and walked out. Wang Lifa said from behind: "Prince! Please do well. Butler Li is occupying the shop. Please say something!"
Zhu Yili didn't pay attention to the scene where Li An and his party were about to occupy Yutai Teahouse at first. Hearing this, he stopped and said, "Oh? This guy still has such a thing? This is someone who is strictly prohibited by the emperor's brother - you are really brave, I don't even think about it. You really do whatever you dare to do!"
This is not true. Zhu Yijun is well aware of the biggest drawback of the feudal dynasty's economic development - over the years, he has issued repeated orders that any clan, nobles or officials who rely on their status to seize property and seriously interfere with the market order will be dismissed from office in the least serious way. A high-voltage line has long been formed, which is why Wu Qingbo's family did not have this string in their minds.
Li An's lips were trembling, and he wanted to defend himself but lacked the courage. Seeing his bearish behavior, Zhu Yiliu showed no interest in continuing to ravage him, so he asked Wang Lifa to take out a pen and paper.
When the pen and ink were ready, Zhu Yili held the brush and wrote the four characters "Yutai Tea House" on the back of the paper. Although he had practiced it when he was a child, he basically said goodbye to the Four Treasures of the Study after opening his house. This character has a slightly irritating effect on the eyes.
Although the calligraphy is ugly, Wang Lifa doesn't dislike it at all. Tears of excitement flowed down my face, and I kept blowing on the paper while thanking him repeatedly. Just listen to Zhu Yili say in a loud voice: "You carve my name into a plaque and hang it up. As long as you run your business properly, whoever dares to pick off this plaque for you, I will pick off his hand!"
