Lu Jin looked thinner, but his dark face looked more energetic.
After getting on the carriage, Lu Jin first changed out of his smelly prison uniform and put on the clean clothes that Yu Qizhe had prepared for him. He immediately felt much more comfortable.
"I'm in prison, with no access to information. Is the case closed now? Why are they suddenly willing to let me go?" Lu Jin grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "Junior brother, did you spend money outside?"
Yu Qizhe smiled faintly, "I don't have that much money to throw at the Dali Temple. It was Young Marquis Gu who captured the real criminal and recovered the official silver, clearing you and Xu Youzhi of suspicion, so you were released without charge."
"Young Marquis Gu?" Lu Jin was confused. He was very familiar with Gu Yun during his years in the capital. He couldn't help but sigh, "I always thought that Young Marquis Gu was different from the other dandies in Kyoto. Although he often fought with the noble children of the Marquis' Mansion, he never bullied the powerless common people. He was a rare man of true character. I was right."
"It's useless to say such flattering words to me." Yu Qizhe was relieved to see that he was full of energy and did not look like he was being tortured in prison. He was also in the mood to joke with him.
Lu Jin also smiled and said, "Then I will buy a gong tomorrow and go to the gate of Annan Marquis's mansion and shout a few times so that Young Marquis Gu can hear my sincere wishes."
Liu Zi, who was driving the car, could not help but say, "Boss Lu Qian, ever since you got into trouble, my son has been running around and has been so busy that he has not had a good night's sleep. Young Marquis Gu was invited by my son, so you can't just think about the good things of outsiders."
Hearing this, Lu Jin looked at Yu Qizhe and said, "I said that the case was presided over by the Dali Temple. Why would Young Marquis Gu get involved for no reason? It turns out that you have made great efforts behind the scenes. Junior brother, why are you still the same as before? Every time you do something, you never show off your achievements."
"You are not an outsider. You don't need to remember my kindness. It's a waste of time to say these things." Yu Qizhe said calmly.
Gu Yun hugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Junior brother is still the closest to me!"
Yu Qizhe broke away from him and said, "Go back and wash yourself properly."
Lu Jin lowered his head and sniffed at his clothes. "After changing clothes, I don't smell anything. Well, you dare to despise me? I just escaped a disaster, Junior Brother, and you still think I'm dirty. It's too heartless."
"Your lover is Miss Liang." Yu Qizhe said lightly.
Lu Jin was stunned for a moment. Yu Qizhe told Lu Jin that Miss Liang had asked Liu Miwu from Xinglou to bring a message.
Lu Jin scratched his hair, as if he was a little surprised, and murmured, "I didn't expect Miss Liang to still remember me..."
Lu Jin did not return to Taoxi Lane. There were no servants in his house. He had not been home for so many days, so the house had to be cleaned. So he followed Yu Qizhe to Kanjing Hutong.
Mrs. Song prepared hot water early and cooked a sumptuous meal, waiting for Yu Qizhe to come back and pick them up.
Seeing Liu Zi coming back in the carriage, Mrs. Song hurriedly said, "Quick, light the brazier."
Song Nian, the son of Mrs. Song, hastily lit the brazier that had been placed at the door. Liuzi stopped the carriage, and Lu Jin and Yu Qizhe got off. Mrs. Song smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, quickly step over the brazier. Everything will go well from now on."
Lu Jin also grinned, hurried to the threshold and strode over.
Mrs. Song raised her voice and swept Lu Jin's clothes with a pine branch dipped in water, saying, "Standing high over the fire basin can drive away evil spirits, and dipping pine branches in water can drive away evil spirits and filth!"
Lu Jin was alone in the capital, without a servant or someone to care for him. He didn't expect to have these things when he came to Yu Qizhe's place. For a moment, he was very happy and his mouth became sweet, "Thank you for your hard work."
Mrs. Song smiled and said, "It's not hard. The food is warming on the stove. I also went to get two pots of good wine today. You and my young master can have a few drinks."
"Okay, I smelled the delicious food as soon as I entered the yard, and I've been drooling for a long time." Lu Jin turned around and complained to Yu Qizhe, "I've been eating rotten rice all day in prison these past few days, just like pig swill, and I've become skinny from hunger."
"How do you know the taste of swill?" Yu Qizhe said with a half-smile, "Have you ever tasted it?"
Lu Jin was speechless for a moment. He reached out to hook Yu Qizhe's shoulder and said through gritted teeth, "Junior brother, why is your mouth becoming more and more annoying? I have to discipline you for my sister-in-law..."
Yu Qizhe dodged and said, "Go take a shower first. You are not allowed to eat until you are clean."
Lu Jin looked helpless, "Well, you are the one who has the most rules. I think I should just go back to Taoxi Lane."
Although he said this, Lu Jin also felt that his body was dirty, so when he saw Song Nian bringing hot water, he went to the side room to take a bath.
Yu Qizhe went to the main hall. Because Lu Jin had just mentioned Yu Jiao, he couldn't help but think of the letter he sent to the post station a few days ago. Calculating the time, Yu Jiao should have received it. He really missed her a little and was just looking forward to taking the spring examination after the New Year so that he could return to Qingzhou.
