s to punish the Wu family, and ideally get the Wang family, the mastermind behind this, exposed and brought down as well, attracting the emperor's ire.But the accomplice in the deep palace who coopera...The crowd walked into the palace, heads bowed, following the eunuch who led them. 。Today's palace was built from the original annex, so it is not as grand and magnificent as Kyoto Palace. However, it is not lacking in imperial atmosphere, and everywhere reveals wealth and generosity. 。At this time of year, the autumn harvest has just ended and winter is about to begin. Not only will the common people be preparing for the cold, but there's also little happening in the court. 。Besides the two censors who argued over trivial matters, no one else dared to make a report. 。Thus, the grand court meeting held every ten days came to an abrupt end. 。Li Lao'er followed Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng out of the palace gate, still wanting to go to the restaurant for a turn, when several officials who had been standing together earlier chased after them. 。"Uncle, Uncle! I and the others feel like we've known you for ages today, but it's hard to part ways like this. 。"If Lord Bo isn't busy, why don't we find a place to have a few drinks and chat" Without waiting for Li Lao Er to respond, they grabbed Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng. 。"Lord Wen and Lord Liu won't stop us, will they You two have important duties to attend to, we don't. We might as well spend some quality time with Master Uncle." 。Mr. Wen looked at Li Lao Er and saw him nod slightly, so he smiled and said, "Master, this is your first time going to court. You don't know anything about it. That's why I'm saying a few more words." 。When there are several adults patronizing, I can rest assured. 。"Well then, thank you, Master Wen. We shall take our leave now." 。Several people, grinning from ear to ear, surrounded Li Lao Er and got into a luxurious carriage, leaving quickly. 。Others naturally saw it, but they just smiled and let it be. 。Liu Zhiheng was truly worried. "Mr. Wen, shouldn't we remind the old master Those people aren't good! Especially Shaoqing Chu Heng and Yuanwailang Zhang Jian, they are notorious for being drunkards and wastrels, pampered young masters. 。"Master has become friends with them, but he hasn't reaped any benefits!" Mr. Wen, however, didn't mind and smiled, "These people came to Master on his first day in court, it's clear they don't have good intentions." 。Master Ye is so shrewd, how could he not know Going with them is just to probe their true intentions. 。"Rest assured, Master won't suffer any losses." 。Besides, with Mount Ye Shan around, even if something happens, he would be more than capable of protecting Master's safety. 。" Mr. Wen shook his head and smiled, “I don’t know, but if Ye Shan knows about it, the Marquis will surely know." 。If the Lord suffered a loss, the Marquis would certainly not stand idly by. 。" They said a few words and then went their separate ways. 。Then, Li Lao Er followed a group of new friends onto a carriage. After everyone introduced their names and positions, they began calling each other brothers and laughing all the way to an alleyway in the west part of the city. 。The alleyway looked ordinary, and there were no red lanterns hanging outside the houses, indicating that it wasn't a place for prostitutes. 。Chu Shaoqing knocked on the door of a familiar house several times, and was ushered in by a woman in her thirties. 。The courtyard is filled with the aroma of delicious food, and it's decorated in a serene and elegant manner. 。 It turns out this is a private kitchen! Chu Shaoqing pulled Li Lao Er over and introduced him, "Grandpa, this is a place where we often drink. It's quiet and the food tastes good." 。We've been standing in line for so long, we're starving. Let's grab a bite to eat together. 。"Well, thank you, Qin brother, for your trouble." 。Such a great place, just looking at the scenery would be enough to fill your stomach. It's really good. 。Li Lao Er smiled and flattered, Chu Shaoqing and the others all laughed. 。The proprietress was also laughing, her eyes sparkling, "Oh my, sir called you Master, could it be the new rising star of the Kyoto, Zhongshan"That's right, madam. Tell the kitchen staff to show off their skills today." 。Even Li Lao Ye's house has a restaurant, be careful of being disliked and having your sign smashed. 。“Zhang Jian and others also joined in the teasing, laughing and leading Lao Er Li into the house.” 。The proprietress hurriedly called a maid to bring tea and refreshments, then went to the kitchen to get things organized. 。A crowd gathered around Li Lao Er, their words hinting at probing questions. 。What's the current status of Lord What Is he busy lately, and has he returned to Suijin Beach What about Liu Ziheng, who recently joined the Department of Agriculture and Forestry How will the seeds be allocated next year, and how will they be planted 。Li Laer should act stupid when he needs to, and crazy when he needs to. He perfectly portrays the image of a nouveau riche who has suddenly climbed high, appearing glamorous on the outside but hollow inside. 。Though inwardly they despised him, on the surface they still smiled obsequiously and offered flattery. 。Soon, the food was served, and everyone began to eat and drink. 。 Li Laoer didn't stand on ceremony either, he tasted all the dishes, and indeed they were somewhat extraordinary, but the taste hadn't reached the point of being amazing. 。Think about it, if the taste was truly exceptional, there would be countless renowned restaurants serving it. Why would they settle for a small alleyway and meager earnings 。No one knew what he was thinking, seeing him eat so much only made them think even more lowly of him for never having seen the world. 。After the meal, they drank tea to aid digestion. A charming woman then brought in a guqin and played for everyone's enjoyment. 。The woman, perhaps out of curiosity towards this new guest, Li Laoer, kept glancing at him. She looked at him again and again. 。Unfortunately, Old Li Er was more interested in the teacup in his hand and didn't respond at all. 。Seeing this, Chu Shaoqing subtly waved his hand towards the proprietress outside the door. 。Then, several maids in light clothes came in to serve tea and refreshments, naturally sitting beside the group. 。Li Lao'er's maidservant wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had a certain delicate charm, like a little jade carving. With a light raise of her slender hand, she poured tea and offered the cup. 。When Li Lao'er received it, she seemed to have accidentally scratched his palm with her finger. 。Li Lao'er was startled, his hand loosened, and the teacup fell onto his leg. The tea soaked his robe. 。Li Lao'er quickly got up and exclaimed, "Oh my, this is official attire, it can't get dirty!"Chu Shaoqing then called the proprietress, "Quickly take Mr. Li to change into a long robe! I have two new robes here, please, Mr. Li, choose whichever you like." 。" Having said that, he joked with the maidservant again, “Chuncao, you’re responsible for this trouble! Go serve Master Li. If you don’t serve him well, Master won’t be happy, and we can’t let you off either.” 。"

The maid blushed and hurriedly asked Li La'er to go out " 。Li Lao Er seemed not to hear the key point, and said to everyone with a bow, "Wait for me a moment, I'll be right back." 。"Haha, Master, take your time, it's alright!" "That's right, Master, enjoy yourself. We're not in a hurry." 。"

“Spring grass is a very good girl, let her take good care of the master" 。Zhang Jian and several others had been laughing boisterously. When they saw Li Lao'er leave, they gradually stopped laughing, put their arms around the maidservants beside them, drank tea and waited, but there was a secret sense of pleasure in their hearts, something they couldn't quite explain. 。Isn't it said that the Li family is both warm-hearted and righteous, inside and outside the capital Isn't it said that the Li family is lucky Isn't it said that the emperor favors the Li familyAfter all, the Li family are just people too. They don't even have a hundred years of wealth and honor, nor do they have a family to rely on. They are nothing more than a bunch of local bumpkins. What could be so extraordinary about them 。Look, in just a few words he was tricked into having dinner. With just a wink from any woman, he falls into the gentle embrace again!In the future, who knows, this Mr. Li might be worse than those mud-dwelling, worthless men! go in, let alone cheer them on!"Everyone also heard it and nodded in agreement.Xia Qing opened the bag of sugar-coated peanuts again and distributed them to the women, saying, "The snacks sold in our...
