"...... Later, my elder brother became busier and busier, and he really had no time to care about me, so he sent me to the military camp. In fact, my father had wanted to send me away for a long time, but he was afraid that my mother would be sad, so he tolerated me.

Really, this is what he said. When I quarreled with him, he said that if it weren't for my mother, he would have sent me to the barracks long ago."

Chai Yan was nagging, and after a while, he sent Yan Xuehuai into the door.

Chai Yan left Qingping Lane and returned to the Prince's Mansion on Donghua Street.

Although I have lived there for two or three months, Chai Yan is just a place to take a shower, change clothes and sleep.

If he was not a noble prince and there were too few places in the capital that dared to take him in, he might have not come back long ago.

Therefore, Chai Yan was not familiar with the other places except the yard where he lived.

Except for the time he had invited a guest when he first moved in, the kitchen of the prince's mansion did not open fire for him.

That's right, his breakfast and lunch were delivered to the Queen's Palace. Dinners were either sent to Li Shiji in person or asked agate to Li Shiji to buy them. In short, the imperial chefs who came out of the palace in the prince's mansion are now as lonely as snow and are doubting their lives every day.

When Chai Yan was about to go to bed, Liuli came back.

"Checked?" Chai Yan asked.

Liuli wanted to speak but stopped. Chai Yan signaled the two eunuchs in the room to withdraw, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

Although there was no one else in the room, Liuli still lowered her voice: "Seventh Master, the female actor is named Chanjuan, she is not from the opera troupe.

The female actor who originally played the flying knife in the team ran away with a piano player the day before yesterday. Fortunately, her role was only a few words. After the winter, all the girls on the flower boat went ashore, and their business was not as good as before. The troupe asked several companies, but unexpectedly they were all lions and the price was very high.

This is an irrelevant character, but it is impossible to be missing. The headmaster is reluctant to pay more money, so he asked an acquaintance to help introduce him. After finishing work in the theater, he went to a secret branch to help with some rough work.

She introduced the secret door, which was Chanjuan. The headmaster asked someone to teach her several times. From yesterday, Chanjuan took the stage, and today was the next day."

Chai Yan frowned, secret door?

How could Yan Xuehuai know the secret door? She must have read it wrong.

Even though he thought so, Chai Yan still asked, "Have you seen that Chanjuan?"

Liuli shook her head: "Chanjuan is not a member of the team. She will get wages for one show. After the flying knife, she will step down and leave. Because if it is too late, the gate of the inner city will be closed. She lives in the outer city and will not be able to go back then.

However, the young man found out that she lived in Shiguo Lane in the outer city, so the young man came out of the theater and went straight to Shiguo Lane.

There is only one secret door in Shiguoxiang. The younger one found it after inquiring, but the door of the family was closed and locked. The younger one took advantage of the darkness and climbed into the wall to get in the cold pot and stove. It didn’t seem like someone had come back, but the box was there, there were unwashed clothes in the wooden basin, and there were leftovers in the stove.

The young man went to find the cleaning lady again, and the woman didn't know why the family was not there.

However, she said that Chanjuan lived with a mother named Lin. Lin's mother told everyone that Chanjuan was born in Yangzhou's thin horse and bought it for a lot of money. It's just a talk. No one believed that no Yangzhou thin horse could be a secret door in a broken alley. She had long been bought as an outdoor room or a concubine.

The young man waited outside Chanjuan's house for half an hour, but he didn't see the family coming back, so he decided to come back first to report to Master Qi, and he would go and watch him tomorrow."

Chai Yan nodded: "Well, you go again tomorrow."

Chai Yan thought so. Since he was a secret door, it was common for him to not go home to sleep at night. Maybe he would be delivered to his house and stayed at a lover's house tonight.

As for that mother Lin, maybe she went to have a private meeting with a man at night, just like Chanjuan.

Chai Yan didn't believe that Yan Xuehuai would know such a woman. Even if she looked familiar, she had only seen her at most. Li Shiji opened the door to do business and would see her.

Chai Yan put this matter aside, and he had another more important thing.

The Zhou Datong family is coming to the capital. He must take advantage of the Zhou Datong family's time in the capital to seize the opportunity to book a marriage with Yan Xuehuai.

Chai Yan lay on the bed and fell asleep as he thought about it.

But at this time, Chai Hui did not sleep.

He and Wuchang Prince went out of the theater and went for midnight snacks. Today, he didn't expect to meet Chai Yan in the theater.

Chai Hui said to Wuchang Prince: "I don't know which family the friend of the Seventh Emperor is. Have you ever seen him when you grew up in the capital?"

The prince of Wuchang burst into laughter: "My uncle Hui, may you not see that he is a woman?"

Chai Hui frowned slightly. He recalled the appearance and behavior of the young master. At that time, he just thought that the young master was born with a good appearance, but he felt that he was not moving.

Now that he heard the prince of Wuchang say this, he suddenly realized: "No wonder that the young man has a little more charming spirit, hahaha, now that he thinks he is really a girl's house."

The two of them joked for a while. It was not a big deal for the seventh prince to travel with the beauty. It was not a big deal. It was not a romantic young man, let alone a delicate and expensive prince.

"I heard from the third son of the Marquis of Ping'an's Mansion that he had seen the seventh prince in Li Shiji, and he had seen it three times. Has Mr. Hui heard of Li Shiji? This restaurant reopened this year and closed down two years ago."

Before moving the capital, Wuchang Prince had visited Li Shiji once, of course, it was not his treat.

The teacup that Chai Hui originally picked up was put back on the table: "Are you talking about Li Shiji?"

"Yes, by the way, Li Shiji also took on the wine business. Tsk, it's Qingshui Banquet, that's really a good business that makes a fortune. I don't know why the head of the Li family chose Li Shiji."

The prince of Wuchang was a little envious. Those who can do alcohol business now have a lot of money. If he could have so much capital, Wuchang's mansion would not have to be as poor as he is now.

"You said Li Shiji closed down for two years?" Chai Hui asked again.

"Yes, it was not only Li Shiji who moved the capital in the two years, but also heard that all restaurants in the capital that could be named were closed. At that time, no one dared to open the door to do business."

The prince of Wuchang also heard that he was in Pingcheng in those two years.

"When you were in Pingcheng, did you ever hear about a snack shop called Li Shiji?" Chai Hui asked.

Prince Wuchang shook his head. The two years he was in Pingcheng were the poorest time of their family. The reason why his father went to Fuwang Mansion to borrow money was well known to everyone.

Before he got to Chai Hui, he didn't even leave his house, for fear of meeting an acquaintance from the capital, so he asked about his father borrowing money to buy antiques.
