    Xia Jiangmin was depressed at the moment. Ever since Xia Jianghelang came to Beijing, she had been locked up in a villa and couldn't go out the second door. She couldn't wait until the Chinese New Year. Xia Jianghelang sent a gracious decree to allow him to see outsiders.  On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, she and Ji Xingxuan went out and secretly sent their personal maid to deliver a message on Huixing Street. When they came back, they told her that the family had moved away years ago. The worse news was that it was said that they had left Beijing.  There was no one to look for. Xia Jiangmin choked on her food for three days after returning home. If she hadn't been afraid of being spotted by Xia Jianghelang and Ji Xingxuan sent someone to invite her yesterday, she wouldn't have had the energy to go out.  I happened to walk to this street and heard passers-by talking about the opening of the restaurant in front of me. I got a little moody and dragged Ji Xingxuan over to join in the fun.  In the elegant room on the second floor, the two women sat down and looked at the surrounding environment. It was elegant and pleasant, and they were very satisfied.  "What are your signature dishes here?" Ji Xingxuan asked. She was the one who invited Xia Jiangmin to go out today, so she naturally asked her to serve as a treat.  The waiter said: "There are many signature dishes, hot and cold, meat and vegetables, everything you have eaten outside, we have it in Wangjilou." "Haha, such a big tone," Xia Jiangmin smiled,  He suddenly interrupted, pulled out a pair of ivory chopsticks from the small stand, and tapped them on the table: "Let me ask you, is your restaurant guessing lantern riddles today, and if you answer it correctly, you will get free meals, but is it true?" The waiter said: "It's really true.  , look at the lantern above your head, there are ready-made puzzles on them, but you can only answer them once per table, and they are limited to fifty taels of wine and food. If you are right, you will be exempted, if you are wrong, you have to pay, hey  "Xia Jiangmin frowned and said, "What if I order too much?" The waiter said, "It doesn't matter if I order too much. If it exceeds fifty taels, each dish above will be a question. If you answer it correctly, you will get it." "It's interesting."  Xia Jiangmin smiled again and turned to ask Ji Xingxuan: "How do you think about the riddle, sister?" "Top 10." Ji Xingxuan looked calm as if she didn't know how to be humble, but she didn't say it with any arrogance, as if this was just an ordinary thing.  thing.  Xia Jiangmin's eyes lit up and she said happily: "Sister, I'm very good at guessing riddles. Let's have a good meal today." Her eyes flickered, she put down her chopsticks and said: "Waiter, pick out the good dishes in your restaurant first."  "Twenty pieces are brought up, no matter what the price is." The waiter looked at the clothes of the two of them and knew that they were rich or expensive and would not be afraid of them defaulting on the bill later.  Xia Jiangmin looked in high spirits, while Ji Xingxuan frowned slightly but said nothing.  Yu Shu returned from the front building to the backyard, knocked on Xue Rui's door, went in and briefly described the situation outside, and finally teased him: "I see that there are many people at this table who have ink in their stomachs. Just wait."  There will be a lot of blood today, and you will have to pay a few thousand taels for it." Xue Rui turned over the scroll in his hand and said, "The more you lose, the more you will earn in the future." Yu Shu also knew this and didn't say any more.  What? Looking at the thick book in his hand, he asked curiously: "What are you reading?" "The archives of Dali Temple over the years," Xue Rui paused and added: "They are all unjust cases." Yu Shu held his chin in one hand  , said with interest: "If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot that you are still a prosecutor. Let me ask you, how many cases have you solved so far?" When Xue Rui heard this, he knew that she was a layman and raised his head.  He looked at her with a smile and said: "Generally, cases are tried and managed by various yamen and criminal departments. Our Dali Temple is responsible for the trial. Since I entered Dali Temple, I have handled more than ten cases, but when it comes to solving cases, I have only  Just two cases. " "Eh? You mean you don't care about solving the case? No, that time there was a death in Taishi Shuyuan, wasn't it the case that you went to Dali Temple to investigate?" Speaking of this, Yu Shu couldn't help but think of the sisters of the Xia Jiang family.  Come, I feel a little sorry for Xia Jiangying who died young.  The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Xue Rui said thoughtfully: "There is also such a situation. Whenever there is a major case, the emperor will directly assign it to Dali Temple to investigate. Speaking of which, that was the first case I tried, but in the end it was  " Yu Shu knew that there was something else going on in Xia Jiangying's case. At that time, in order to solve Xia Jiangying's case, Xue Rui came to her every day for three days. He even doubted Xia Mingming, but then he lost his voice for some reason. When the day of solving the case, Xue Rui  He didn't show up in court. Instead, he was drinking in the pub opposite and was met by her.  When Xue Rui stopped mid-sentence, her eyes flashed and she said deliberately: "Isn't that case closed? Wasn't the devil who killed Xia Jiangying finally beheaded?" Xue Rui nodded slowly: "That's right.  "Yu Shu wanted to say something more, but there was a knock on the door outside, and Lin Fu's voice said: "Master, Master Shi and Master Feng are here. They have been invited to the elegant room on the second floor in the backyard." Xue Rui stood up.  , while brushing the hem of his clothes, he said to Yu Shu: "Come on, come with me to recognize someone and ask for help." Yu Shu knew as soon as he heard that it was Xue Rui's group of princes and grandsons who had arrived.  Rui said that he would come to this restaurant to help her.?, one of the reasons is to get acquainted with the upper-class dignitaries. Now I won't have stage fright, I will stand up and follow him.  There are actually two courtyards behind Wangji Building. One is a building for guests to stay overnight, and there is a small courtyard behind where the horses are parked and the maids and waiters live.  Yu Shu and Xue Rui each occupied a private room in the backyard for daily rest, and the rest were used for entertaining guests. Different from the private room in front of the restaurant, this guest room has a bed and quilt - the living room is also more spacious, and can accommodate ten people.  There will be no problem with people coming.  Xue Rui took Yu Shu up to the second floor, followed the fenced corridor to the end, and stopped outside the door of a private room. The two guards guarding the door were not from Wangji Building, but they recognized Xue Rui and said hello respectfully.  , let the door open.  Xue Rui didn't even knock on the door, but opened it directly. Yu Shu walked behind him, and heard the laughter inside stopped for a while, followed by congratulations one after another: "Congratulations, brother Rui, your restaurant is finally open." "But  Isn't it? I heard him say that he wanted to find a good place two years ago, but I didn't expect it until now." There was a woman's chuckle in her voice. Yu Shu took a step to the side and saw the brocade dress inside the room.  She had seen almost all of the people sitting at the large round banquet.  Needless to say, Feng Zhaomiao is the young master of General Feng's family. The gentle-looking young master is the young master of the Qi University scholar family of the Hanlin Academy. The slender-eyed one is the only son of Uncle Zhongyong. The third one is Liu Jiong, the eldest son of the Prince of Xiang, and the other three.  There were two girls, two of whom she had met at the Dingbo Pavilion gambling event, and one. If she admitted it correctly, she was the princess of Prince Xiang's palace. When she went to visit Prince Xiang on the last day of the thaumaturgy exam, she also  Saw it.  In addition, there are two unknown people, a man and a woman, sitting in the middle, especially the ordinary-looking young man who is only sixteen or seventeen years old. Judging from the priority, he actually sits higher than Liu Jiong.  This must be the Ninth Prince, Yu Shu thought to himself.  "Hey, isn't this the girl from the lotus room?" The first person to call out Yu Shu was not Feng Zhaomiao, but the prince Liu Jiong. Everyone in the room heard his voice before turning their attention to Xue Rui and walking in behind him.  Everyone on Yu Shu¡¯s body looked scrutinized.  Someone¡¯s expression changed at the table, and the smile disappeared from his face for a moment, but it quickly returned.  Xue Rui stepped aside, and with one hand to protect Yu Shu, he stepped forward and introduced them to the table: "We all know each other, so I won't introduce you. It's just that you guys are full of bad ideas and love to cause trouble. I  Let me tell you something clearly first. This is my sister. Whenever I am away, if you come here, if you bully her when she is young, don¡¯t blame me for settling the score with you later. " His two words sounded like a joke, but everyone present.  Everyone understood the meaning and asked them to take care of her. In a blink of an eye, their faces became kind to Yu Shu. They put down their pretentiousness and greeted her with a smile. This all gave Xue Rui face.  But some people sang the opposite and said with a sweet smile: "Brother Rui, they all recognize this girl, but I don't. I think even Ninth Brother didn't recognize her just after returning to Beijing. You'd better introduce me to which family this girl is from. Look,  She looks familiar." The person she was talking about was Princess Xiwen of Prince Xiang's Mansion. She was looking at Yu Shu with her head tilted, and she had a white and rosy little face that made everyone fall in love with her.  Xue Rui looked at her and was thinking about what to say, but Yu Shu took over the words and saluted the strange young man with a smile, then bowed to Princess Xiwen and said: "I have met your highness, I have met the princess.  . I am not a young lady from any family, I am just a commoner. The princess forgot that I had a relationship with the princess at Dingbo Pavilion. My surname is Yu. " Yu Shu knew in his heart that this is Princess Xiwen.  She could not know her, but she couldn't pretend not to know the princess. In addition, the Ninth Prince was sitting aside, and it was more appropriate for her to speak than for Xue Rui to speak for her. She would never be stupid enough to think that someone else was smiling.  Being on an equal footing with this group of proud men, you still have to be wary of what you should be wary of.  Xi Wen saw that she had answered the conversation and had nothing to say in her prepared remarks, so she turned to talk to the young lady next to Liu Jiong.  The Ninth Prince seemed to be a man of few words. He only nodded to Yu Shu and then turned his attention to Xue Rui: "Please sit down." There were two empty seats on the table, but they were not together. One was next to the Ninth Prince.  On top, one was next to Feng Zhaomiao. Xue Rui hesitated whether to ask someone to add another stool. Feng Zhaomiao had already waved to Yu Shu and called her in a low voice: "Lotus room, lotus room." Yu Shu walked over to him directly.  Sitting down next to him, Xue Rui saw this and sat next to the Ninth Prince. He looked up and saw that Feng Zhaomiao was covering his mouth with one hand, wondering what he was whispering to Yu Shu.  What did Feng Zhaomiao and Yu Shu say? In fact, it was not a big deal. It was just that during the thaumaturgy test, Yu Shu went to Taishi Shuyuan to find him. He wanted to enter the Xiang Palace through him, but Feng Zhaomiao suggested that he go to Xue Rui.  , but Yu Shu didn¡¯t go to that stall.  "I'm sorry. If you had said you didn't plan to find Brother Rui that day, I would have taken you directly to Prince Xiang's Mansion. I didn't delay your business, right?"  , who didn¡¯t like him and didn¡¯t even say a word. Yu Shu sneaked into Taishi Tower with him, and when Feng Zhaomiao accidentally mentioned something on his mind, he spoke casually.A few words of comfort relieved his knot, and Yu Shu fell in his eyes.  When Yu Shu heard Feng Zhaomiao apologize to her for that messy thing, she felt a little better in her heart. She shook her head and followed his example and answered in a low voice: "No, Brother Xue later took me to see Prince Xiang.  "How was your answer in that subject?" The two of them just chatted. This table of acquaintances gathered together and they were talking and laughing. Xue Rui was pulled to ask questions and looked at Yu Shu.  There is no discomfort, so I can safely take back God.  .
