[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

The first time Zhu Houzhao went out of the palace, he was first appeased by the lady at the tofu stall, and then met by Jiao Shizhi. Although he had the unpleasant incident just now, it was not a complete failure.He stood up and took the initiative to introduce himself. Seeing that Shou'er was more generous than him, Jiao Shizhi also showed a gentle smile, "Then follow me."

Jiao Shizhi took Zhu Houzhao to the tea house on another street familiarly.The tea house is very elegantly decorated, with emerald green potted tea placed in the corner, and the faint fragrance of tea wafts through the building, making people feel peaceful.The guests who come and go are all literati and poets, with gentle demeanor, and never disturb the leisurely atmosphere of the teahouse.

Seeing the regular customer, Xiao Er immediately greeted him.He knew Jiao Shizhi's taste, but seeing this gentle young man brought another young man over today, he didn't follow the old practice and bowed down to wait for the two of them to order.

Sure enough, Jiao Shizhi lowered his head and asked Zhu Houzhao, "You love Huangshan Yunwu?"

Zhu Houzhao's dark eyes were full of surprise, and he said curiously: "There is Huangshan cloud here?" He had drunk this Huangshan cloud, but the production of this tea is very small, and it is rarely circulated among ordinary people.

"Our shopkeeper is originally from Anhui, and it's just our own production. But the production is also small, so we only make it for our own use. If it's not a regular customer, we can't taste it." Xiaoer explained with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao understood it clearly, and nodded his head, no matter how good the tea is, it can't compare to the many tribute teas in the palace.

Jiao Shizhi stayed outside for a few breaths before entering the private room, and then came in with Zhu Houzhao.Seeing Zhu Houzhao groping around in the private room curiously, his heart moved, and a smile appeared between his brows and eyes.Just now Shou'er looked so calm, Jiao Shizhi also held it a little bit, but now looking at Shou'er's appearance, he seems to be just a child, and the thoughts in his heart are inferior.

"You..." Jiao Shizhi was about to say something when Xiao Er came up with something.After the tea sets were set, he handed the package in his arm to Jiao Shizhi, "Master, these are the clothes you ordered."

After Xiaoer left, Jiao Shizhi looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "I think it should make you more comfortable." His words were soft and gentle, without any coercion, and it was just a suggestion.

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips, then showed an extremely cute smile, and walked around behind the screen with the package in his arms.

When he came out, the unique aroma of Huangshan clouds and mist drifted along the curling heat, and the room was full of fragrance.Jiao Shizhi's movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, natural yet light. After the whole set of movements, there was no more, no less, and Zhu Hou looked at him with eyebrows bent.

Jiao Shizhi brought a cup of tea and placed it in Shou'er's place, only to find that Shou'er had already put on new clothes.Although that dress was not top-grade, it also spent Jiao Shizhi's last little money of this month, after all, the clouds in Mount Huangshan were not cheap.And this light blue dress was worn on Shou'er's body, abruptly wearing a style that shouldn't be there.

Jiao Shizhi smiled and said, "Would you like to taste the tea I brewed?"

"Even if the tea doesn't taste good, your actions just now made me feel very happy." Zhu Houzhao said honestly, then sat down opposite Jiao Shizhi unceremoniously, picked up the tea and gently sniffed it Fragrant, drink it immediately.

"Good tea, good tea ceremony!"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he praised softly.This tea art, even compared with the eunuch in the tea room who has been brewing tea for decades by the father's emperor, is not far behind.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao loves the house and loves Wu, and he is happy with Jiao Shizhi, and then exaggerates his talent.But it can also be seen that Jiao Shizhi does have some skills.Jiao Shizhi shook his head and smiled lightly, "It's just a superficial skill, so it doesn't deserve such praise."

Jiao Shizhi didn't ask what happened to Shou'er, nor did he pay too much attention to him, but refilled him a few times after he found that Shou'er had run out of tea.And the elegant and comfortable atmosphere of the teahouse completely wiped away the last restlessness in Zhu Houzhao's heart. He drank Huangshan Yunwu and looked at the gentle appearance of the young man opposite him. His heart moved, "Do you know the Chen family?"

"You messed with the Chen family?" Zhu Houzhao said this, Jiao Shizhi frowned slightly, with a little worry, "You mean the Chen family in the next street?" At first he thought that Shou'er was lost The child, but along the way it doesn't look like that at all, on the contrary, it looks more like a child from a wealthy family who sneaked out of the house.

"Exactly."

"The Chen family has always been domineering, and they rely on the big figures in the palace to ignore the law and order. If you want to get revenge, you alone are not enough, and you need help." Jiao Shizhi glanced at him and said seriously: "You should be careful, if I'm a villain, and you've already had an accident." Even when he said to go to the teahouse, Shou'er cheerfully agreed, being silly and cute.

Zhu Houzhao, who is "a little silly and cute", spread his hands unconsciously, "They snatched away a little lady in front of me just now, and the government did nothing. I am very unhappy." The voice that belongs to children is very thin, but the tone is very calm.

Words don't match the tone of voice.

Although Jiao Shizhi felt that Zhu Houzhao's words were a bit strange, he didn't take them seriously, "The youngest son of the Chen family has always been lustful, and I think he was the instigator of this matter. The girl who entered the Chen family did not come out alive. But the two God heard that he took people out of the city to play, and it seems that he has not returned yet."

The implication is very clear.

Although Jiao Shizhi couldn't see Shou'er's identity, Shou'er's every move was in his eyes. It seemed that he himself had no intention of hiding it, but instead showed a smug and lovely smile on Jiao Shizhi's suspicious expression.

"Thank you, Brother Jiao, for your guidance."

"This is not a suggestion. If it can make the Chen family have a little problem, it will definitely make people happy." Jiao Shizhi can see clearly whether Shou'er's behavior represents confidence or bluff.

"Brother Jiao was joking." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, "But it seems that Brother Jiao is also a little worried, and his face is not very good-looking." Jiao Shizhi was stunned for three breaths at Shou'er's straightforwardness, and then sighed that he couldn't stop talking. He couldn't even hide his complexion, and it was easy for others to see through.

He shook his head lightly, but he didn't want to reject Shou'er's kindness directly, and said tactfully: "It's just that something happened in the family, and there was some dispute."

"So that's the case, but brother Jiao really doesn't look like a son of an official." Zhu Houzhao nodded.

"Why do you know?" Jiao Shizhi raised his eyebrows, not noticing that he was admitting his identity.The boy opposite pointed to Jiao Shizhi's clothes with a mischievous look, "Recently, it is popular in Beijing to wear dark patterns on clothes. No matter what kind of people, they are eager to show Zhan's status, but Brother Jiao is rare."

Jiao Shizhi shook his head helplessly, and said softly: "Even if you embroider dark patterns, will it be different? Since there will be no difference, why bother with these small places." When making clothes, the embroiderer naturally said, But Jiao Shizhi didn't take it to heart.Even if he embroiders rare treasures on his clothes, what does not belong to him is not his after all.

"Okay!" Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands happily, "I also don't like those people. I think they are superior when I put on clothes. Every time I see their faces, I feel disgusting. I really want to mess with them."

The corners of Jiao Shizhi's eyes twitched, "Many"?It seems that this guy has already done such a thing.However, the two had a very pleasant conversation on rare occasions. Although Shou'er's personality was unrestrained and his thoughts were unconstrained, he was indeed a very interesting child.When Zhu Houzhao jumped off the chair and said goodbye with his hands behind his back, Jiao Shizhi was startled to realize that the time flies, and half an hour has passed.

Zhu Hou walked away from the teahouse like a little old man. Jiao Shizhi's words just now inspired him, and someone who has revenge must take revenge is now planning to carry it out.As for Jiao Shizhi... With a name, is he afraid that he won't find anyone?

Jiao Shizhi propped his chin and looked at Shou'er's leaving back. At this moment, he was the only one left in the private room. As time passed, he didn't know where he thought. The last cup of tea, and then left the teahouse.

A few days later, just as Jiao Shizhi returned to Jiao's house, before he stepped into his yard, he was blocked by the housekeeper, along with several servants behind him.Jiao Shizhi said in surprise: "It seems that the housekeeper has something important to find me?"

The butler bowed down and said respectfully: "Master, please come over to the young master." Jiao Shizhi glanced thoughtfully at the wolf-like servant standing behind the butler. This is... Courtesy before soldiers?

"Butler, are you sure the master invited me over instead of pressing me over?" Jiao Shizhi raised the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.The butler nodded and bowed his head and said, "Master, you are serious. You are the only son of the master. How can the master treat you like this?" That's what he said, but Jiao Shizhi didn't see the slightest courtesy and gentleness from his actions.

If it wasn't for some instruction, the housekeeper would never dare to do this.

Jiao Shizhi took a deep breath and said softly, "Let's lead the way."

He was very skeptical about the arson of the ancestral hall this time. It was so fast, and it was after a rainstorm, that the fire could be ignited so quickly, which proved that he had been prepared for a long time, and it was not a day or two.With such means, if it is a foreigner, it would be too wasteful to spend all their time just for the Jiao family's ancestral hall.The Jiao family is not a well-known family, and they can't provoke such a sworn enemy.

Then it can only be the inner ghost.

With such means, and being so familiar with the internal affairs of the Jiao family, it happened after Jiao Shizhi was punished... It seemed that he knew who was the real murderer behind the scenes, and also knew that meeting him would only be a storm.If the housekeeper hadn't been so anxious, Jiao Shizhi would not have believed that someone destroyed the Jiao family's ancestral hall for his own benefit. That would be a hundred-year plan!

Will father believe him?
