After the general's legitimate daughter was reborn, the ascetic prime minister pinched her wais
Chapter 25 The girl should wait to eat
Since Zhiyao arrived in the capital, Gao Wenxi began to leave early and return late. Gao Wenyan tried to ask him about Huiyuan County several times but failed.
Gao Wenyan went to the restaurant where Xiao Zhou had stayed that day and spent a lot of money before finally asking an old servant who had an impression of Xiao Zhou.
The old servant said that when Xiao Zhou first came to Fengyulou to work as a cook, he was said to have owed a lot of debt and signed a deed of betrayal. He didn't know anything about cooking, but he worked hard and followed the chef's instructions to learn it.
Gao Wenyan asked about his family and heard that his family was poor. The only elder in the family was his mother, who was also blind.
Xiao Zhou is the eldest son in the family. He has two younger brothers and one younger sister, all of whom are supported by him.
One day later, Xiao Zhou suddenly left Fengyulou without even saying goodbye, and his whole family disappeared from Zhuyin.
"The chef has been angry for a long time."
Gao Wenyan asked about the owner of Fengyu Tower. The old servant waved his hand and said that Fengyu Tower had been in Zhuyin for many years and was older than him. The owners had changed around and no one knew who the current owner was.
So Gao Wenyan stayed in Fengyu Tower for a day, looking around here and there until she saw a painting.
Although she didn't know how to paint, she still got to know a few famous artists through her exposure to Gao Wenting.
Mr. Wen is famous for his horse paintings. The horses in his paintings are exquisite in composition and magnificent. Since Mr. Wen passed away, his authentic paintings have become even more difficult to find.
And the thing hanging in the box in Fengyu Tower is clearly the original work of Mr. Wen!
The one who loves the painting of galloping horses the most, and who owns Mr. Wen’s original work, will know who it is after asking around a bit.
The governor of Huiyuan County, Zhang Xinhong.
So as soon as Gao Wenyan returned to Puling Temple, he sent a message to Gao Wenxi, asking him to find a reason to send a greeting note to Prefect Zhang, and she wanted to visit her personally.
However, even Chu Xu came back from Jeju, but there was no reply to his invitation, which made Zhang Wenyan very anxious.
She originally thought she would ask Gao Wenxi about the progress today, but Bi Xi said that someone "came by appointment."
This is a unique code to teach Chu Ying how to ride and shoot. As soon as Chu Xu comes back, her half-hearted husband will have to take up his post again.
It was still the abandoned school grounds, and Chu Xu was still the only one there.
When we went out, it was clear that the sky was clear, but now it was covered with dark clouds and it was going to rain at any time.
Gao Wenyan didn't care much. This kind of rain came and left quickly.
"Hardworking girl."
Chu Xu took out the handkerchief and handed it to her.
Gao Wenyan suddenly remembered that the last time he borrowed his handkerchief and returned it to the house, Bi Xi had taken it away.
"The Prime Minister is also here today?"
"Well, I have some free time today."
"Is Prime Minister Jeju and his delegation going well?"
Chu Xu smiled and said nothing, but poured her a cup of green tea, and then picked up a lychee and handed it to her.
Gao Wenyan understood, but it didn't seem to be going well.
She didn't know how to drink tea, so she picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, which was enough to quench her thirst.
"Why are there lychees now?"
Lychees are usually harvested around the Dragon Boat Festival, which is rare at the end of June.
"Most of them are late-ripening this year. This is a new tribute. You can try it."
Hanging green is a treasure among lychees. Only princes and nobles can taste it. The General's Palace is certainly not lacking in this. However, the small plate of hanging green in front of you is round and full. It is very rare at first glance. No wonder it is a tribute.
There were some ice cubes placed in the glass cup, which had melted slightly.
Gao Wenyan weighed the value of the hanging green and hesitated to move. Chu Xu thought she didn't want to dirty her hands, so he shook his sleeves, picked up the largest one and peeled it off.
When the lychees were peeled and brought to her, Gao Wenyan was still a little stunned.
The crystal clear ones are the lychees, and the white and flawless ones are his hands.
The ice-cool taste and just the right amount of sweetness are really unforgettable.
Gao Wenyan likes to eat lychees. In previous years, most of the lychees in the house went into her mouth, and she would not stop eating until she got angry. However, this was the first time she encountered such a delicious hanging green.
You can't really let the Prime Minister peel lychees for yourself.
So Gao Wenyan also grabbed one. Unexpectedly, when he put his fingernail down, the juice splashed on their faces.
Chu Xu shook his head with a smile, took the lychee from her hand, and said, "Young lady, please wait and eat."
After speaking, he ordered Zhixing to get some water so that Gao Wenyan could clean his hands.
Gao Wenyan smiled awkwardly, took the teapot and poured tea for him, so he didn't look like a hands-off shopkeeper.
During the conversation, heavy rain had fallen.
Zhixing still hadn't come back, and for a while only the two of them were left, facing a table, a pot of tea, and it was so quiet that only the sound of rain was still flowing.
The last time it rained, they were still on the way to Puring Temple, and Gao Wenyan focused on the guards.
Now that she relaxed for a moment, she couldn't help but be fascinated by the scene for a moment, and suddenly remembered that it also rained heavily on the day when her father and brother were beheaded in her previous life.
She raised her hand to catch the rain, and felt the same coldness as in her previous life, but these were two different rains.
Chu Xu finally finished peeling all the lychees, and when he looked up, he felt that the back figure was a bit sadder.
"I heard that the girl received a lot of rewards in the past two days for her meritorious service in guarding."
"Yes." She smiled slightly mockingly, "I was rewarded with a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and silk brocade."
When the imperial edict was read out, Gao Wenyan was full of expectations and did not want it to be just a conventional reward for women.
"Prime Minister, if a man accomplishes this, what reward will he receive?"
"One hundred acres of fertile land, one official and one half job."
"right."
He walked up to Gao Wenyan, followed her previous example and accepted the rain, and said softly: "Young lady, I don't know what you get from this trip is no less than an official title."
"What do you mean, Prime Minister?"
Chu Xu looked at the rain curtain and said slowly: "Only when tens of thousands of water droplets gather together can it create a heavy rain."
"The girl already has a batch of water beads."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Gao Wenyan, handed her the rainwater in his hand, and slowly poured it into her hand.
"So, girls, please pick it up and cherish it."
Perhaps the rain was too heavy and Gao Wenyan failed to teach Chu Ying how to ride a horse.
They waited for a long time, seemingly waiting for Chu Ying, waiting for the rain to stop, or actually waiting for something else.
Before leaving, Chu Xu said: "I guess the girl has been busy recently and has not stopped at the market. It is better to go shopping today."
However, Gao Wenyan asked Guan Dahua: "How is the prime minister's health?"
So, his eyes moved slightly and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It's much better."
Gao Wenyan finally listened to Chu Xu's words and did not return to the Gao family immediately.
After walking around outside, she finally understood what Chu Xu meant.
It turns out that the story of Jun, a girl from the Gao family, escorting Prince Gong to pray for blessings has spread throughout the capital. How she avoided the bandits and how she fought against the assassins were vividly described.
Gao Wenyan suddenly became the object of praise among women in Beijing.
"Women should be like Gao Wenyan."
So they said.
