Chapter 65 How weird
There are still affairs in the East Palace that have not been dealt with, and today he was watching the regents in the Wenhua Palace, and some of the memorials his father left him to deal with have not been read, so this trip today has already taken up too much of his time.

It is not advisable to go to Meng Mansion again.

Then he said to Ji Kuan who was following him: "Go back to the palace."

"Promise." Chang Qing Ji Kuan agreed in unison.

Not long after Li Shou left, there was a crisp sound of a wine vessel being broken from the private room on the second floor of Baolai Building.

Zhuang Yanli, the shopkeeper of Baolai Building, heard the crisp sound, and looked up the upstairs. The waiter wanted to go upstairs to see what happened, but he stopped him: "It's nothing, just smashed some things, don't you?" Go up and disturb the elegance of the nobleman."

The waiter agreed and turned around to continue serving wine and food.

Zhuang Yanli is in his 40s, unlike Jin Baixi, who was a scholar who passed the exam in his early years. He is white and fat, with a shrewd look on his face. He always smiles when he sees everyone. It is an authentic business from father to son People are not like Jin Baixi who is a half-way monk.

Glancing back to the second floor, he slowly walked back to the small courtyard behind his hands, preparing to go out through the back door and go to Quexian Tower in person to report today's events to his employer who had just returned to Beijing.

The distance between the two buildings is only the front and back streets, and he walked there in a short while.

Zhuang Yanli did not go through the gate of Quexian Tower, but walked through the back door as usual, when he entered the small courtyard behind Quexian Tower, he saw Jin Baixi coming out of Mingxiang House: "Hey, Lao Bai, where are you going? "

Lao Bai is different from him, he doesn't like to sit at the counter in the front lobby, and most of the time he stays in Mingxiang Juli behind drinking tea alone.

Going forward at this moment must be going out, or there are some troubles in the business ahead that need to be dealt with.

Jin Baixi paused in his hurried steps, and when he looked back, he saw Zhuang Yanli: "Why are you here?"

"Didn't my boss come back? I'm here to find my boss." Zhuang Yanli walked up to Jin Baixi, "I have something to report."

"Then you are one step late, Qi Ye just went out." Jin Baixi continued to move forward as he spoke, "I want to go out too, why don't you sit in Mingxiangju for a while?"

"Okay, I'll wait." Anyway, there was nothing going on at Baolai Building, so Zhuang Yan immediately decided to come here to drink tea, "When will Master Qi come back?"

"I don't know." Jin Baixi walked through the small gate, and said to Zhuo Quan who was just coming this way, "Treat Lao Yan well."

"Okay!" Zhuo Quan nodded hurriedly. Zhuang Yanli often came to the door and all the waiters in Quexian Tower recognized him, just like the waiters in Baolai Tower also recognized Jin Baixi.

Zhuang Yanli watched the back of Jin Baixi striding out of the threshold of Quexian Tower, and asked Zhuo Quan beside him: "What is Lao Bai doing here?"

"It should be to do what Master Qi told me." Zhuo Quan guessed it completely, "I don't know the specifics."

Zhuang Yanli didn't really want to get any definite answer from Zhuo Quan. He just asked casually. As expected, he didn't ask. He turned around and walked through the small door and went back to the small courtyard behind to sit and wait.

The prince's appearance in the Baolai Building was originally a quite common thing. After all, like the Dahongpao Room in the Quexian Building, the Lanling Room at the end of the third floor of the Baolai Building was also a private room exclusively for the prince.

Every time I go back, I drink wine in Lanling Yajian.

Today, I entered the Bamboo Leaf Green Room on the second floor, which was opened by Uncle Lu Xiaoguo. After meeting for a while, when I left the room, the prince left with his people. Uncle Xiaoguo smashed the wine pot and wine glass in the room.

Today's meeting is not ordinary, it is definitely not ordinary.

He must have a good talk with his boss.

Chang Qing was ordered to deliver 7000 taels to the Meng Mansion and handed it over to Meng Shisan personally. After finishing the errands, he returned to the East Palace to resume his duties, leaving Meng Shisan standing in the Qingming Hall in the front yard in a daze.

"You said your highness is so free, why didn't you come to the Meng residence?" She asked Xiuyu.

Xiuyu also didn't want to understand: "Miss, what His Highness thinks, servants can't figure it out."

Meng Shisan sighed: "Me too."

When he had time, he could help her go to Lu Luo and collect the compensation for her second brother's medical expenses, but why did he ask Chang Qing to deliver the banknote to her at the end of the day, and he himself didn't stop by to do it? Come.

If he comes, she can ask him by the way, and she will answer the question he asked last time about the special dream, and have a good discussion with him again.

So, isn't it the best of both worlds?
But he just doesn't.

This Donggong is really weird.

Meng Shisan turned around and took Xiuyu to Senwanyuan. He saw Meng Renji in Chenfeitang and immediately handed 7000 taels to him: "The compensation for the person named Lu has been recovered."

Senwan Courtyard is on the east side of the front yard. Chang Qing is Li Shou's confidant servant. Although he is the only one who comes, there is a lot of movement in the house. As long as it is related to the grandson of the Meng family's East Palace, no matter how big or small it is, everyone will go up and down. It's going to be a shock.

So as soon as Chang Qing left, Meng Renji received the news. He did not take the 7000 taels immediately, but asked: "Wen Yuan said, is it possible that His Highness personally asked for these 7000 taels?"

Meng Shisan took two breaths in response, and then remembered that Wen Yuan was the one who had been selected by the Shang family for Meng Renji, and he was very familiar with the affairs of the world. Standing behind her second brother at this moment was another elder brother. Along with the text, he knows everything about Meng Mansion.

She stuffed all the bank notes into Meng Renji's hands, and sat down on one side of the seat: "That's right, what else did Wen Yuan say?"

Meng Renji turned his face sideways: "Wen Fang."

Wen Fang immediately stepped forward: "Returning to Missy, Wen Yuan also said that when he went out to buy rice paper for the young master, he came out of Kunzheng Pavilion after buying, and happened to see His Highness stepping out of the gate of Baolai Building."

The servants in the Meng Mansion all recognized Li Shou. Wen Yuan said that if he saw Li Shou, it must be Li Shou.

And Kunzheng Pavilion is diagonally opposite to Baolai Building. It specializes in pens, inks, paper and inkstones, calligraphy, painting and story books, etc. It is a century-old shop that gathers elegance and customs.

Two rooms wide, three floors, business is booming.

"Did you see other people?" Meng Shisan asked.

Wen Fang shook his head: "Except for Mr. Ji and the servant who accompanied him, I didn't see anyone else."

Since Li Shou is helping her recover the compensation from Lu Luo, it means that Li Shou met Lu Luo today, and Li Shou went to Baolai Building again, so Lu Luo is also in Baolai Building in all likelihood. It's just that when Li Shou left Baolai Building, either Lu Luo was still in the building, or Lu Luo left long before Li Shou.

Meng Shisan thought about it and didn't think about it anymore. Anyway, the gold and medicine fee for the consultation would be enough. Right now, she has more important things to do, and she doesn't want to entangle with Lu Luo anymore.

After Wen Fang finished answering all the questions, he retreated behind Meng Renji and waited quietly.

Meng Renji looked at Meng Shisan's pensive face, obviously thinking about compensation, he glanced at the seven bank notes in his hand: "Yaoyao thinks the compensation is different?"

"It's the same, the second brother can take it with peace of mind." Meng Shisan stood up while speaking, "After I got the compensation, I went directly to the second brother's place, and I had to go to the room and talk to my grandmother."

"it is good."
