Zhao Liulang sat cross-legged on a chair, too lazy to put on his shoes, "Ma Run and the others are not in the restaurant, and they don't like to play with us, so we didn't call them, we come to eat by ourselves."
Those few are the prince's confidantes. They said they came to Chongwen Hall to accompany the study, but in fact they came to help the prince. They only came when the prince really came to study, and they were usually busy in Zhan Shi's mansion in front.
So they said they were classmates, but they were actually brothers. Yin probably wasn't familiar with them either, so he nodded and looked at the waiter.
The servant went out to open the door, and the servants and maids serving outside brought the pot in and placed it in the middle of the table.
There is a charcoal stove under the middle of the table.
The maids took out the ingredients prepared in the food box and put them away one by one. After a while, the whole table was piled up, and the excess could only be placed on the wooden shelf next to it.
Man Bao looked very excited, and said to Yin: "You are really generous."
Yin couldn't help but laugh, "If you like it, eat more."
After looking at it, Bai Shan felt that it was almost done, he turned his head and said to the waiter, "Go out and cover the gate of the courtyard a little later, everyone should be quiet, don't attract the gentleman in front and the adults of Zhan Shifu."
Everyone expressed their understanding and sat down very happily. Zhao Liulang regretted, "There is no wine."
Lu Yue immediately said: "I have, just wait a moment."
So he turned around and ran back to his own room. After a while, he brought a small jar and opened a hole for them to smell.
Zhao Liulang, who knew wine, and others were amazed, while Bai Shan, who didn't know wine, sat quietly and watched them marvel.
"Okay you, how did you steal this thing into the palace?"
"What stole into the palace, it's from the palace," he said, "It's not easy to get things from outside the palace to the palace, but isn't it easy to buy things from the palace? As long as you have money, you can buy anything from the palace." can buy."
He said: "I only have this jar. I wanted to drink it secretly. Since it is Yin He's happy event today, let's take it out to celebrate."
Yin He, who also doesn't understand wine: "Thank you?"
Anyway, everyone opened the wine very happily.
Yin may not be able to drink, and Man Bao and the others don't like to drink, so they put soup in a bowl and directly congratulated with soup instead of wine.
Liu Huan was envious and puzzled at the same time, "The Western Region is so far away, and I heard that it is so desolate that you can walk for three to five days without seeing any human habitation. How dare you go?"
Yin may be happy when he got his wish, so he talked more, "It's rare to come to the world for a while, and you can go out to see these customs, not to mention that you can't see human eyes for three to five days, it's three to five months." It’s nothing if you don’t see people.”
Man Bao almost vomited the soup, she said: "That won't work, if we don't see people in three or five months, we must have gone to a place where people can't live."
Liu Huan was curious, "What is a place where people can't live?"
"It's a place where people can't go," Bai Shan said, "There are no people in some places because people have never been there before, but there are places where there are no people because people can't go there. It is very dangerous inside, and there may be ferocious beasts that we have never seen before. The weather makes it difficult to even breathe, and this is where people can’t go.”
Liu Huan couldn't understand, "Is there a place in this world where you can't breathe?"
Bai Shan thought about what was written in the book, and said: "The high places are extremely cold."
Even Zhao Liulang couldn't help being curious, "Are you going to such a place this time?"
Bai Shan shook his head, "It's just that crossing grasslands and deserts is more dangerous, but Honglu Temple has guides, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
Zhao Liulang poured another glass of wine, raised his glass and said with a smile, "Come on, we wish you a triumphant return."
Bai Shan also picked up the bowl, smiled slightly, and touched him.
Everyone eats and drinks happily.
Even Lu Yue, who is as stingy as Lu Yue, couldn't help saying to his classmates: "It's no wonder that Zhou Man's official promotion is so fast, we can't compare to her ability to fight her life."
"Are you praising her or mocking her?"
"I'm telling the truth. Don't think of me so badly. However, this is only necessary for people like Zhou Man and Bai Shan. People like us have plenty of opportunities to make contributions, so we don't need to spend so much effort."
Zhao Liulang on the side heard it, couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and then quietly distanced himself from Lu Yue.
When Xiu Mu left the palace again, he and Bai Erlang hung out together, and when he mentioned this matter, he said: "Although it is easier for people like us to get ahead than your cousins, why don't you bother? Look at Tang Zhihe and Yang Changbo, Not only the capital, but also the first one in the aristocratic family, they have spent so much effort in making achievements, let alone us?"
Bai Erlang didn't like Lu Yue either, "Whatever, I don't know him well anyway."
Say it. Glanced at Zhao Liulang, his eyes were self-evident.
Lu Yue is Zhao Liulang's follower, and has been running behind him since he entered the Chongwen Museum.
Zhao Liulang was a little depressed, how did he know that he was like that, he didn't look so stingy before.
Speaking of stinginess, he remembered, "You are not in the capital, so I will continue to owe the money I owe you?"
Bai Erlang: "If I ask you to pay it back now, you won't be able to pay it back."
Bai Erlang couldn't help complaining, "Why do you spend so much money? If I don't follow the gang for a month, no one will live. Two taels of silver is the sky. Your monthly silver is twenty taels, right?"
Zhao Liulang still has an opinion, "Two taels of silver, my sisters in my family have more than this amount of money for makeup, and I am still a big man, so I can't socialize every month? A meal of wine in Zhuangyuan Building is more than two taels."
Zhao Liulang sighed, "That's why people outside always think we are glamorous, how do they know our difficulties?"
Not to mention Bai Erlang, Bai Shan and Man Bao, who were busy arranging books at the side, both took the time to poke their lips, "People outside are still worrying about three meals a day, of course they can't understand your two taels of silver for a pot of wine and ten taels of silver A jug of wine is tough."
"They can't understand, but you can." Zhao Liulang immediately gave up on Bai Erlang, and said to the two of them, "We have been classmates for many years, and everyone should know who is what. You see, we are the children of honor and honor. We are very rich. But you feel your conscience and say, in terms of pocket money, do I have as much as you?"
All three of them were questioned.
Zhao Liulang further said: "I don't want to talk about Zhou Man. You have been appointed as an official, you have a salary, a salary, and a job field. You can compare me and Bai Shanbai. We are both students of Chongwenguan and accompanied by the prince. , How much difference is there in the money we can control?"
Zhao Liulang made a big circle and said, "It's so much worse."
Bai Shan figured out something, he said, why didn't he go anywhere once Xiumu left the palace, just rode a horse and followed their buttocks to visit their house.
Bai Shan raised his chin, signaling him to continue.
