Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Ji's mansion

Inside the high-walled courtyard of the Ji family, Ji Ming had a stern expression on his face, his hands behind his back, and walked anxiously back and forth in the main hall.

Butler Hong on the side saw that the master was in a bad mood. He stood with his hands hanging down and remained silent.

"Useless, a bunch of useless!" Ji Ming cursed angrily, "This week has passed, and Lao Liu and his group of more than a dozen people are nowhere to be seen.

I was thinking about looking for the token, but now even this person hasn’t come back.”

"Yes!" Butler Hong responded cautiously, "How about we send more people out to see if we can find them?"

"Too late!" Ji Ming's veins popped up: "At this moment, Lao Liu and the others must be in great danger. If they have already encountered an accident, they would have already alerted the enemy.

We still have to think of a way to deal with it, quick! Hurry up and study the ink for me. I want to write a letter to Yan'er. I need to tell her to be on guard early so as not to be caught off guard. "

He had thought about it. Rather than sit back and wait for death, it was better to take the initiative and think of a way to deal with it in advance. If someone had to plead guilty in the end, it wouldn't be Yan'er or the others.

Ji Ming held the pen and meditated for a while, then with a big stroke of the pen, he wrote a letter on the paper, folded it carefully, put it in the envelope, glued it on, and handed it to Butler Hong.

Ask him to send someone as quickly as possible and return it to the capital before the New Year.

According to reliable news from the capital, the son-in-law and others were already ready to make a move, and his subordinates had repeatedly advised the emperor on the matter of establishing a prince.

In addition, the emperor is seriously ill now. Even if he wants to delay, he is probably powerless. This matter probably won't be delayed for long.

I am just afraid that something will happen, and I am afraid that something will happen to the ten princes, He Li. So we have to let them act in advance and be more careful at the same time...

……

Time flies, and it is mid-December. It has been nearly half a month since we left Shenyang. The Zhang family has long returned to peace and everyone is busy with their own affairs.

Chili Shop has been busy harvesting cassava recently. Cassava is mainly used to make starch. In addition to being used for thickening in cooking, this starch can also be used to make glutinous rice cakes.

The chili shop is managed by Xiao and Zhang Tiezhu. Shen Ping goes to inspect the workshop as usual every day. If there is nothing else, she can go back to the house.

Sanchun and He Yao were watching the soap shop and makeup workshop, which made me feel relieved.

If there is any major event that Sanchun cannot handle, she will report it to Shen Ping immediately and ask for her advice. On the contrary, the clothing workshop cannot do without Shen Ping during this period.

Shen Yang had just been gone for a while, and Erya was injured again. Si Feng couldn't handle it alone, so Shen Ping had to take over.

After Shen Ping's careful teaching during this period, Sifeng went from being flustered in the beginning to gradually getting the hang of the job and is now fully qualified to be in charge of the accounting office.

At the same time, she holds two jobs: she is also the manager of the garment factory, advocating for quality and work arrangements. Manage the garment workshop properly.

From the initial longing, Arya has gradually become accustomed to it. After a period of rest and the secret golden medicine, her body has basically recovered.

Because her job didn't require any heavy work, she went to work early. The busy work diluted her longing for Shenyang, and she basically had no free time to think about Shenyang during the day.

That is, in the dead of night, longing will overflow, but she also comforts herself that the separation now is for the two of them to be together for a long time in the future.

Now Sifeng can basically get the job done, and Erya has also started working. After being busy for half a month, Shen Ping can finally take a break.

That day, Shen Ping decided not to go to the garment workshop anymore and left it to Sifeng and Erya.

Shen Ping heard from Dachun that the academy was also planning to have its annual holiday in the next two days, and they would bring Xu Hao and Wuchun back then.

A few days ago, Shen Ping also received a letter from Prefect Xu, saying that he would bring Xu Feng and Xu Hao back to the city to celebrate the New Year before the New Year.

The letter said that Xu Fuyin had already settled in the state capital and wanted to take Xu Feng back.

But then she changed her mind and decided to wait until Xu Hao Academy had its annual holiday and then take them back together. In the letter, Dong also asked about Mo Ru's situation.

I heard from Mrs. Dong in the letter that Mr. Mo and others hoped that the two of them could get married before Xu Hao took the examination for the title of scholar, but Mrs. Dong thought it would be better to let them take the examination before discussing the matter.

Judging from what Mrs. Dong said, she probably wanted to act as a middleman and persuade Mrs. Mo.

Shen Ping smiled. Mrs. Dong thought too highly of herself and allowed herself to be such an ugly person. Besides, she was an outsider who couldn't interfere in this matter. She didn't want to be such a bad person.

However, since Mrs. Dong said so, she and Mo Ru had a talk after breakfast. Mo Ru made it clear that if she didn't end up with Xu Hao, she would raise the baby alone.

Moreover, Mo Ru's wish was to let Xu Hao make his own choice after he passed the examination for the title of scholar, rather than taking the opportunity to tie him down with the child now that she was pregnant.

If he doesn't really want to marry him, but it's just because of this child, then even if he gets married early, he won't be happy in the end.

After hearing what Mo Ru said, Shen Ping couldn't help but admire in her heart. She never thought that Mo Ru, an ancient woman, would have such advanced thoughts. It was really rare.

At this time, Hong Gu walked in and bowed, "Madam, housekeeper Liu Jiashi wants to see you."

"Butler Shi?"

Shen Ping was stunned. What was the matter with this Butler Shi? Why did he come to visit suddenly?

"Please!"

Shen Ping returned to the main house. At this moment, Hong Gu and Shi Butler also came in. Shi Butler was carrying some gifts.

Seeing Shen Ping, he smiled and bowed, saying, "Madam Shen, how are you? I brought some meat floss cakes for you to try." Then he handed the gift in his hand to Hong Gu.

Shen Ping laughed: "Steward Shi, you are so polite. You came just when you came. Why did you buy a gift? Come on, please sit down." Shen Ping said and made a gesture of invitation.

Shi Zhong sat down and said, "Smiling, Mrs. Shen's words are wrong. This meat floss cake was made by Shi San'er himself."

"Oh?"

Shen Ping was surprised, and then said to Hong Gu: "Hong Gu, bring it here and have a look~"

Cuihong came up with a cup of tea and placed it in front of Butler Shi: "Please have some tea."

In later lives, Shen Ping had eaten many meat floss pancakes, but this was the first time she heard that there were meat floss pancakes here when she came here.

Looking at the box handed over by Hong Gu, Shen Ping opened it and took a look. She found that the meat floss pie looked similar in appearance to those made in later generations, and was also the same size as the mung bean pie. She just didn't know how it tasted.

With the attitude of giving it a try, Shen Ping took a bite. Unexpectedly, the texture was surprisingly good. The outside was crispy and the floss inside was salty. After one bite, the outside was so crispy that it fell apart.

Unexpectedly, the humble meat floss pancake turned out to be beyond his expectation. Shen Ping said it was delicious.

Shen Ping's eyes lit up: "Steward Shi, I never thought that Shi San'er, who looks so tall and thick, could actually have such good skills."

Steward Shi smiled and nodded: "Yes, although Shi San'er looks rude, he is a very considerate child."
