Everyone lowered their heads and followed the eunuch who led the way into the palace.
Today's imperial palace was rebuilt from the original palace. It is naturally not as grand as Kyoto, but it does not lack the royal atmosphere, showing wealth and generosity everywhere.
At this time of year, the autumn harvest has just ended and winter is about to begin. Not to mention that the people are going into winter, and there are no major events in the court.
Except for the two censors who had a few quarrels over trivial matters, no one else came forward.
Thus, the great court meeting, which was held once every ten days, ended hastily.
Li Laoer followed Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng out of the palace gate. He also wanted to go to the restaurant, but several false officials who had been standing together chased him.
"Uncle, uncle! We felt like old friends when we met today, but we don't want to be separated like this. If uncle is not busy, how about he come with us to have a few drinks and chat a few words?"
Before Li Laoer could answer, , they also stole people from Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng.
"Master Wen and Master Liu won't stop you, right? You two have serious errands to be busy with, but we don't. We just want to have a good time with uncle."
Mr. Wen looked at Mr. Li and saw him nodding lightly, He smiled and said, "This is my first time to go to court, and I am not familiar with anything, so I will say a few more words. I can rest assured that I will have a few adults to help me in the future."
"Well, thank you Mr. Wen, we will Let's go first." Several people laughed, surrounded Li Laoer, got into a luxurious carriage, and left quickly.
Of course others saw it, but just smiled.
Liu Zhiheng was really worried, "Mr. Wen, should I remind my uncle? Those people are not good people! Especially the young minister Chu Heng, the foreign minister Zhang Jian, the famous drunkard, and the dandy. . Uncle, there is no good in being friendly with them!"
Mr. Wen didn't care, and said with a smile, "These people came to my uncle on the first day he went to court. They obviously have no good intentions. My uncle is so smart, how could it be possible? Don't know? Going with them is just to explore their true intentions.
"Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss. Besides, with Ye Shan following him, even if something happens, it will be enough to protect my uncle from coming out safely.
Liu Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So, the Marquis has made arrangements? " "
I don't know," Mr. Wen shook his head and said with a smile, "But whatever Ye Shan knows, the Marquis will definitely know." If the uncle suffered a loss, the Marquis would definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. "
The two said a few words and then dispersed.
Besides, Li Laoer got on the carriage with a group of new friends. After everyone knew their names and official positions, they began to call each other brothers and sisters. They joked all the way to an alley in the west of the city.
The alley looked very ordinary. , there were no red lanterns hanging in front of each house, obviously not a place for clandestine prostitution.
Chu Shaoqing and several familiar people knocked on the door of a house and were welcomed in by a woman in her thirties.
There was the aroma of food in the yard. The layout is very elegant and quiet.
It turns out that this is a private restaurant!
Chu Shaoqing pulled Li Laoer and introduced, "Uncle, this is a place where we usually drink. It's quiet and the food tastes good. We've been standing there for so long, so we're already hungry, so let's fill our stomachs together.
"Okay, thank you Brother Qin for taking the trouble. " Such a good place, you can feel full just by looking at the scenery without eating, it is really good. "Li Laoer smiled and complimented, and Chu Shaoqing and the others laughed.
Even the boss's wife was trembling with laughter, "Hey, this gentleman called uncle, is he the newly promoted Zhongshan uncle in Kyoto? "
Yes, boss lady, tell the cook to show off your skills today." Uncle Li also has a restaurant at home. Be careful of being disliked and destroying your brand. "Zhang Jian and others were also making noises, and they laughed and led Li Lao'er into the house.
The landlady quickly called the maids to bring tea and snacks, and then went to the kitchen to set things up.
Everyone was talking around Li Lao'er, and their words were full of tests.
What? Has Mr. Hou been busy recently? Have you returned to Broken Gold Beach?
Why did Liu Zhiheng join the Department of Agriculture and Forestry? How will next year's improved seeds be distributed and planted?
Li Lao Er pretends to be stupid when he needs to, and crazy when he needs to, and perfectly interprets the image of a country bumpkin who suddenly stands in a high position, with a bright appearance but a weak heart on the inside.
Everyone was scornful in their hearts, but on the outside they were still smiling and complimenting him.
Soon, the food was served and everyone began to eat and drink.
Li Laoer was not polite and tasted all the dishes. There was indeed something outstanding, but the taste was not amazing.
Thinking about it carefully, if there were few people in the world who tasted really good, they would have opened a restaurant long ago. How could they make such a small amount of money in a small alley?
Everyone didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that he ate a lot, they became even more contemptuous of him for not having seen the world.
After dinner and tea, a charming woman carried the guqin into the house and played it for everyone to enjoy.
The woman was probably curious about this new guest, Li Laoer, and kept glancing at him again and again.
Unfortunately, Li Laoer was more interested in the tea bowl in his hand and didn't respond at all.
Seeing this, Chu Shaoqing waved his hand vaguely to the landlady outside the door.
So, a few maids in cool clothes came in to pour tea and exchange snacks, and sat down next to everyone.
The maid next to Li Laoer is not very beautiful, but she has a bit of the charm of Xiaojiabiyu. She holds the cup with her bare hands and pours tea.
When Li Laoer took it, she seemed to accidentally scratch Li Laoer's palm with her fingers.
Li Laoer was startled. As soon as he let go of his hand, the tea cup fell on his lap, and the tea soaked his robe.
Li Laoer quickly stood up and shouted, "Oh, this is an official uniform, don't let it get dirty!"
Chu Shaoqing called the proprietress, "Hurry up and take Mr. Li to change into a long gown! I have two more clothes here. Let's get a new one. Please choose one for Uncle Li."
After that, he joked with the maid again, "Chuntao, you must be responsible for the trouble you caused! Go and serve Uncle Li. If you don't serve me well, Uncle If you don't calm down, we can't spare you."
The maid blushed and quickly asked Li Lao Er to go out.
Li Laoer didn't seem to understand the key to this, and he raised his hands with everyone and said, "Everyone, wait
a moment, I'll be back as soon as I can." "Hahaha, it doesn't matter if you take your time, uncle!"
"That's right, uncle, enjoy yourself, let's Don't be in a hurry."
"Chuncao is a very nice girl, let her take good care of my uncle."
Zhang Jian and others laughed and laughed. Seeing Li Laoer go out, they slowly stopped laughing, hugged the maid next to them, and drank Tea is waiting, but there is a secret joy in my heart that I can't explain.
Isn't it said inside and outside Xindu that the Li family values love and justice? Doesn't it mean that the Li family is lucky? Doesn't it mean that the Li family is valued by the emperor?
After all, the Li family are just human beings. They don't even have a century-old wealth and wealth. They don't have a family to rely on. They are just a bunch of bumpkins. How can they be so surprising?
You see, after just a few words, he was tricked into going out to eat, and a random woman hooked her fingers and fell into gentle land again!
From now on, it's hard to say that this Uncle Li will be worse than the mud like them who don't go up the wall!
