After being forced into the palace, I became the tyrant's favorite
Chapter 117 01 Rejected (1)
Wen Yao never imagined that in just three days, the news that the owner of Minshifu was the concubine Xian spread throughout Dachen, and within half a month it had spread to Dazhou.
On the attic, a man was holding a wine cup, leaning casually on the open window, listening to the conversations of groups of people in the market.
It was nothing more than Concubine Chen Xian.
The people upstairs listened to a few words, put down their wine cups, stood up, and awe-inspiring breath filled the room.
"Big Concubine Chen Xian, it's interesting..." The man turned his back to the open window, and from the side, he could see a slightly sinister smile.
There were two people on one side of the wine table, dressed in black shirts, standing upright, with their eyes closed and listening, half downcast, not knowing what to think.
The man suddenly said: "I really want to taste the food there, is it really as delicious as rumors outside?"
"Do you think it's the imperial cook who is skilled, or the concubine Xian?"
A man in a black shirt lowered his eyes halfway, raised his head slightly, not daring to look sharply at the man before the case, and said rigorously: "Returning to the master, it is natural that the imperial chef is even better."
"Oh." The man's voice rose, revealing an evil spirit, "Hearing you say that, it's as if you've tried it before."
The man in black immediately knelt down, "This subordinate dare not."
"Why don't you dare?" The man put his legs down, leaned against the wall, and asked, "What did the old man say?"
"He said that Emperor Chen had already suspected him, and he didn't dare to move around recently. At the same time, he hoped that, master, you can send someone to meet him."
"The guy who failed to accomplish anything, still expects me to save him." The man sneered: "To this day, I haven't seen the situation clearly."
"Concubine Chen Xian is the old man's son. I don't know what he thinks when I send my son to the palace." The man played with the jade in his hand, his voice was low, and the two men in black didn't dare to make a sound.
"It's time to discard this chess piece." The man stood up gracefully, without turning his head, and said, "Contact other people again, and find that thing as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Kyoto, a certain house.Several people guarded the door of the room, and there were three people sitting in the room, one took the head seat, and the other two sat down respectively.
"That old man Wen Sheng has come to my house many times recently." said the man on the right hand side, he looks about thirty or four, with an ordinary appearance, but he speaks with a lot of confidence.
"The emperor is probably determined to deal with him this time, and it will not be easy to keep him." The man on the left said calmly.
He has a mustache on his face, and his temples are a little gray, but he is hale and hearty.
The person above frowned and remained silent, and the man on the right continued: "I can't see it all. The concubine Xian is just getting the favor, and she is the son of Wen Sheng. The emperor will care about affection."
"If you want me to say that old man Wen Sheng raised a good daughter, she went to trouble Concubine Xian for nothing." The man on the left said: "The emperor did not pursue Wen Sheng's crime of deceiving the emperor, it is already a blessing among misfortunes."
On that day, the emperor issued a decree to summon the second young lady of the Wen family into the palace. This alone could punish the nine families.
What is puzzling is that Ye Chu never used this crime to punish Wen Sheng, so it is not difficult for Ye Chu to save Wen Yao with Ye Chu's ability.
"Your Majesty, he has not announced the true gender of Concubine Xian to the public. The world only knows that Concubine Xian is the owner of the people's restaurant. No one knows if she is male or female." The person above finally spoke out.
"As for why Wen Sheng let his son into the palace in the first place, the old man is still puzzled."
"What's so puzzling." The man on the right said bluntly: "Wen Sheng doesn't like this son, and half of that child has the blood of the Su family."
The man on the left was busy winking at the other party, but the other party was talking with all his heart, he never saw it, and continued to be impassioned, expressing suggestions: "We all know the details of Wen Sheng, but he is just a poor scholar. The general's daughter, speaking of Su Yunmian, she is a great beauty, it's a pity that the old guy was taken advantage of for nothing."
"I just don't understand. How did the late emperor think of promising Su Yunmian to Wen Sheng?"
For various reasons, he was still unaware of it, and was about to continue the anatomical analysis.
The man above snapped: "Enough, you talk too much."
He waved his hand and said, "You all go back first and wait and see what happens."
"Yes." The two replied, got up and left the house.
After going out, the man hurriedly said: "Brother Wang, but brother, what did I say wrong?"
"You, you're more than just wrong, you're just——" the man called Brother Wang scolded softly, "You're extremely stupid! Then Miss Su Yunmian is something we can discuss in front of adults."
"Brother Wang, what do you mean to say, my lord likes Su Yunmian?"
The man with the mustache gave him a look of "experience for yourself", and walked away.
The man stopped where he was, with cold sweat dripping from his back, and his hair stood on end. He almost caused a catastrophe by accident just now.
My lord actually falls in love with Su Yunmian who has been dead for many years.
He didn't know much about this beautiful woman. He only knew that Su Yunmian was deeply loved by the late emperor and was often summoned to the palace. Just when everyone thought that the late emperor would accept her as a concubine, he issued an imperial decree to marry her into the high school. Soon Wen Sheng.
Not long after, the man in the room moved, got up and went to the bookcase, opened the hidden compartment, took out a scroll from inside, spread it out, and looked at it. As if looking at something, the man touched the eyes of the woman in the painting with his dark yellow hand, and murmured: "Yun Mian..."
"Don't worry, I will protect your only blood in this world."
Going back in time is like going back to the past, the first time he saw Su Yunmian, the delicate eyebrows and the smile without any calculations were deeply imprinted in his heart.
When he first met, he thought that the other party was the concubine of the late emperor Xinna, until one day a month later, he saw the other party's figure in the city.
He eagerly chased after him, and the other party seemed to be aware of it, so the maid asked him to go upstairs, and the two talked in the private room upstairs, it was the first time he talked to Su Yunmian.
She was a very interesting woman, and she often said something astonishing, and what she said shocked him.
It was only later that he learned that it was her idea that the first emperor vigorously developed agriculture and reduced or exempted taxes.
She bluntly asked the first emperor to pay attention to the gentry.
He talked with her several times, and he became more and more infatuated with this person. Later, he realized that she was not the late emperor's concubine, and was planning to ask the late emperor for a marriage. He never thought that the late emperor would betroth her to a small five-rank Dali Temple governor.
Not long after that, it was reported that she was seriously ill, and he was unable to visit due to his status, and died of illness a month later.
At that time, he only wanted to cut off Wen Sheng's dog's head.
He never knew that Su Yunmian had left a son, until that day when he saw Wen Yao, his blood boiled.
Wen Yao looks so much like Su Yunmian.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. No wonder that old Wen Sheng had hidden him for so many years.
He didn't know what happened to Su Yunmian back then, so that he died of illness suddenly.
After a long time, he put away the scroll, turned and left the house.
Wen Sheng had been having trouble sleeping and eating for the past few days, and the ministers who had some friendship with him on weekdays all avoided seeing him at this time.
Wen Sheng secretly scolded these people for turning their arms against each other, and the wind on the top of the wall was falling one way or another.
But I also know that at a critical moment, I can't offend people.
Yesterday, he went to ask to see Meng Jiangcang, and when the old man needed him, he would come and go as soon as he was called, and when his own disaster came, he wanted to ignore it, there is such a good thing in the world.
The big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken. He will make the bad things that Meng Jiangcang did public.
He leaned back in the chair with a slightly tired face. If he could go back as soon as possible, he wouldn't need to look at the faces of these people.
That woman Jiang Sushang dared to threaten him, she thought she could blackmail him by holding his secret, it was a joke.If she keeps messing around, she has no choice but to get rid of it quickly.
When Wen Ningxin and Wen Ningzun asked about it, they blamed Ye Chu on their own, and hated Ye Chu if they wanted to.
Wen Sheng's eyes were ruthless. It was a mistake to listen to that woman and let that bitch enter the palace!That bitch was ambiguous with the first emperor at the beginning, and now her son is entangled with the new emperor, it really is mother and son, both shameless!
As long as that person arrives in Kyoto, he will be able to escape unscathed.
Wen Ningxin offended Minshifu, offended the cheap/kind, she is just a waste, there is no need to keep it, but the second child is still useful.
The one who went back that year looked at her a few more times.
His daughter is not useless.
……
That night, Wen Yao did not return to the palace.The rhino looks at the moon, the moon is shaped into a corner, and it is hard to see clearly. I think it will rain tonight.
Wen Yao didn't want to encounter heavy rain on the way.
I made some simple dinners and ate with Chang Sanliuqing and others.
Just after Xushi, the pouring rain poured down, the sky was dark, the night wind was bleak, and the front was still unclear when I turned on the lamp. At this moment, the world seemed to be shrouded in rain.
Wen Yao closed the window, it was still early, so he planned to get some "drinks" when he had nothing to do.
There was still something to do before that, so he wrote a line on the paper and put it in the hidden compartment.
Then he began to think about what kind of "drink" to make. Fruits are scarce in this era, but bananas and lychees have been available a long time ago. He planned to ask Zhou Yun to find out where bananas are sold. If there are no bananas, he can only enter the palace Pick.
Wen Yao lay on the soft bed with his hands on the pillow, staring blankly at the roof.
At the same time, Ye Chu stared at the torrential rain from the door, and heard Shen Ran's report from below, "A group of men in black have entered the dungeon."
"Keep an eye on their movements and withdraw the Habayashi Army."
"Yes."
Although he didn't understand the master's intention, he didn't ask further.
"Go."
"Yes."
After Shen Ran left, Ye Chu didn't want to sleep, the plan was proceeding as he imagined, and now it's almost the same.
Ye Chu stood tall, looking at the rain outside the window, not knowing where he was thinking.
Shen Ran, dressed in black, flitted through the rain, causing a splash of water. He followed Ye Chu's words, withdrew the guards outside the dungeon, and sent the Habayashi army away. He turned over the roof, and braved the heavy rain to uncover a tile. look down.
Those men in black were very familiar with the layout of the dungeon. Shen Ran guessed that they were here to save people, but he didn't know who to save.
He didn't make a sound, let the rain wet his clothes, and patiently waited for the group of people to reach a cage. He bowed and walked lightly to the other side of the roof, and carefully untied the tiles, but saw that three of the group were missing. There were two people left, and they opened the prison door with their swords. The person in the prison was Jiang Sushang who was sent in a few days ago.
Jiang Sushang transferred from the empty secret room to the dungeon yesterday.
Jiang Sushang hurriedly exclaimed: "Who are you?"
She screamed, "Don't come here, don't come here!"
"Ma'am, don't be afraid." One of them spoke, and the voice was that of a daughter!
"We were sent by adults." She approached Jiang Sushang slowly with a soothing tone.
When Jiang Sushang heard that it was someone sent by Wen Sheng, she excitedly said, "You are finally here, did he ask you to come and save me?"
"Yes." The woman said: "My lord asked us to redeem Madam."
"What?" Jiang Sushang didn't understand the meaning of her words, and moved his head the next moment.
The woman looked at Jiang Sushang who was lying on the ground, and murmured: "My lord asked us to take you on the road, Madam can rest at ease now."
"Qin Luo, hurry up, the Habayashi Army is coming." Someone shouted from behind.
Qin Luo responded, turned around and left with them.
On the roof, Shen Ran froze, only wishing that the person had the same name and surname.
He came back to his senses in a trance, performed light kung fu and went back to the imperial study.
Ye Chu seemed to expect that he would come over at this time, standing in front of the case, without turning around, he said, "How is it?"
"Killed." Shen Ran said: "Those men in black moved their hands, and one of them mentioned 'my lord'. I don't know who it was."
He withheld the man's name.
Ye Chu waved his hand, signaling him to back off.
He was lying on the slum.
Jiang Sushang was killed in prison, and the person who came was ordered by his lord, who would that person be?
Wen Sheng or someone else?
If Wen Sheng was so good, how could he invite those people?
According to Shen Ran, Jiang Sushang was killed with a single knife. Even if he released the water himself, the fact that these people were able to sneak into Dali Temple is enough to show that they are not ordinary people from the rivers and lakes.
Ye Chu rubbed his eyebrows.
That woman deserved to die.
There was nothing to say all night, only the sound of dripping rain outside the window. When Wen Yao got up, it was raining continuously outside.
He planned to wait for the rain to stop before entering the palace.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and new drinks have to be launched before the year. Among them, bananas are the main ones, and the price is not cheap. They are still sold in limited quantities, and some new dishes have to be added at the same time.
For the cakes he made earlier, he plans to make a few more and make a few more pizzas. Someone will definitely need them for the Chinese New Year.
He made a list of ingredients needed for pizza and cakes, and handed them over to Zhou Yun to buy them as soon as possible.
After eating, the rain stopped.
Wen Yao took advantage of this time to go to the palace, and when he arrived at Muyao Palace, he sent a bodyguard to look for Li Quan, and then sent a little eunuch to look for Zhichun.
In the past few days, neither Zhichun nor the Zhao family sisters came to the restaurant. The Zhao family sisters came to the restaurant for a while before, and everyone missed them after not seeing each other for a long time.
Not only is Wen Yao preparing to launch new products, but he also feels that the branch store needs to be messed up like the main store. He plans to ask the Zhao sisters to help again, but this time they are not only serving as welcome guests, they also need to play the piano. Wen Yao wants to find a musician in the palace Teach them to play music, but I am afraid that the musicians will think they are noble, and they will not teach them seriously.If it is Guqin, he can teach it himself.
Wen Yao felt that this could also be used as an income, and maybe it could make Minshifu popular again.
Li Quan came soon and asked, "Why did the young master call his subordinates here?"
Wen Yao already knew that he was not a real eunuch, so Li Quan called himself a "subordinate".
"There is something that needs Brother Li's help."
"If you are useful to your subordinates, you can open your mouth, my little master." Although Li Quan's eyes were not cold, they were also slightly alienated, completely different from when Chang San was together.
Wen Yao's heart moved slightly, and he asked without thinking: "What do you think of San'er?"
When mentioning Chang San, Li Quan's eyes showed a little tenderness, and he said with a smile: "Chang San is a good boy."
"Then?" Wen Yao raised his eyebrows, obviously slightly dissatisfied with his answer.
"What then?" Li Quanming asked knowingly.
"Brother Li, I have always regarded you as my elder brother, and said with all my heart that I have never regarded Chang San as a servant. He and I are brothers and sisters. I only hope that Brother Li will not let him down. I can see that he likes Brother Li very much. "
Li Quan's eyebrows moved, he turned his head, his face was a little moist, and he said after a while: "Well... I will, I like him too."
After getting the guarantee, Wen Yao got back to business, "I came to look for Brother Li today because I wanted to ask Brother Li for something. I wonder if there are bananas in the palace?"
"Banana? What is that?" Li Quan had never heard of it.
Wen Yao's head twitched, and he forgot the name of the banana in this era. He tried his best to describe it, "It's so big, it's long and slightly curved, it's yellow, and it looks like a crescent moon... Yes, it looks like a rabbit hook."
Li Quan thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure out what it was. There were a lot of things in the palace. Although there was no gold, silver, or food in the treasury, there were still plenty of gold and silver jewellery, rare jewels, precious medicinal materials, melons and fruits tributed by foreign countries and small countries. few.
Wen Yao's head grew big for a while, his index finger turned up, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Eat, a kind of fruit!"
"This subordinate takes the little master over to have a look."
"That's fine too." Wen Yao said, "Is the key with you?"
"Yes." Li Quan led the way, "The master has always left the key here, but the little master needs it?"
"I won't need it for a while, and I don't know what's in it. I'll put it there first, and I'll get it from you when I need it." Wen Yao said nonchalantly.
Ordinary couples are the husband who is outside the house and the wife who is inside.
Wen Yao is only one point away.
Wen Yao is a young man, and Li Quan is not surprised. When he saw Wen Yao for the first time, he felt that he was different from other women. After getting along with him for a long time, he felt that he lived a free and easy life, and his words and deeds seemed to be different from the world. Maybe the other person is really an immortal from the Nine Heavens.
Li Quan thought to himself.
Opening the door of the treasury, leading Wen Yao to walk back, the jewelry flashed by in front of his eyes, Wen Yao suddenly remembered the jewelry and jade pendants he saw in the secret room of the palace. He didn't need these jewelry, but he could buy a lot of money. I don't know if Ye Chu is willing or not.
The tribute fruit was placed at the end, and Wen Yao walked over, only to see that the box was full of ice cubes, and he had to feel that people in this era are smart and wise.
"Who made these ices?"
"Master ordered us to put it in." Li Quan replied, "It's cold, and the food is not perishable. These melons and fruits are different, and the taste will not be fresh after a long time, so the master specially told me to put some ice in it."
"Where does this ice come from?"
"There is an ice store in the palace, which is brought back from the iceberg."
Wen Yao nodded, looking through the common fruits such as pears and plums, and finally fell on the tangerines, grapefruits, tangerines, oranges, and a box of light blue and larger fruits brought back from the south. Wen Yao took a closer look, It's an olive!
Good guy, I didn't expect it to exist in this era.
There were also olives in China in ancient times. In addition to the native species in the south of China, these species also came from India and Southeast Asia.
It seems that the settings in this book are basically the same as those in ancient China, but some places are very different. For example, some food is not available here. Thinking of this, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Seeing him in a daze, Li Quan didn't bother him.After a while, Wen Yao walked to the small box. The small wooden box was placed on the wooden table with unique carvings. Wen Yao opened it and saw a whole box of grapes!
These grapes are round and plump, with a purple-black body, and when they are placed in crushed ice, large crystal clear water droplets condense on the skin, which looks extremely delicious.
Wen Yao swallowed, and said, "Take this out."
Li Quan nodded, not seeing how delicious this was.
There was a large vermilion lacquered wooden box on the wooden table. Wen Yao lifted the wooden cover, and all he saw were buttery bananas!
There are really bananas!
"What the little master is looking for is this August melon?"
"This is called August melon?"
Li Quan nodded, Wen Yao smiled and said, "Yes, that's what I'm looking for."
Li Quan glanced at him suspiciously, but laughed and chatted with him, neither of them said much, Wen Yao was slightly relieved, how could Li Quan be more difficult to fool than Ye Chu.
His reason to Ye Chu was that he had an ancient book, but it was impossible for him to say that to Li Quan. First, the other party would probably not believe it if he said it. Second, it was such an important matter, how could he say it casually.
Fortunately, like Chang San, Li Quan didn't ask too much.
Bypassing the imperial garden, Wen Yao led the men to carry the two boxes to the imperial dining room, and was about to turn around when a young eunuch hurried over, panting, and said, "Concubine Xian has found you, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry is asking to see you. "
What did he come to him for?
Wen Yao muttered inwardly.
But it's good for him to come to him, and it saves him from looking for him.
"Let him go—" Wen Yao suddenly got stuck, forgetting where the concubine should send him when she sees the minister.
Li Quan understood, and said to the little eunuch: "Let the left servant of the Ministry of Industry wait in the side hall of Lin'an Palace."
Originally, it was a palace rule that no father came to visit his daughter. Da Chen only allowed his mother to visit, but the situation of the young master was different. He arranged people under the master's nose to prevent the other party from playing tricks.
Through Wen Ningxin making trouble for the people's restaurant, Jiang Sushang invited horse thieves to make trouble, which is enough to see that there is discord between them.
Where can Jiang Sushang, a boudoir woman, find horse thieves?It made him quite puzzled.
Where do those horse thieves usually stay?
It is estimated that no one can answer these questions. I believe that the little master does not know the details of Jiang Sushang. As her husband, Wen Sheng knows whether he knows it or not.
The little eunuch ran away.
Wen Yao asked: "Why did you think of asking him to wait in Lin'an Palace?"
Li Quan: "There is a master there, safe."
Wen Yao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
The two headed towards Lin'an Palace, and when they were about to reach the place, Li Quan pulled him into the palace from the other side, and whispered: "Wen Sheng is by no means as simple and honest as he appears on the surface, the master ordered his subordinates to take good care of the little master. .”
"There is one more thing, the subordinates have to tell the little master."
Wen Yao's thoughts changed, he thought that Wen Sheng's benevolence in ordinary times had deceived everyone, but he didn't expect that Ah Chu had suspected Wen Sheng long ago.
"what's up?"
"Last night, Mrs. Jiang was executed in the dungeon of Dali Temple." Li Quan said in a low voice.
Wen Yao frowned slightly, Jiang Sushang died like this?
Could it be that Ah Chu suspects that Wen Sheng is behind the scenes?
"Have you caught the murderer?"
Li Quan shook his head, "I haven't been caught, the people who came here are men in black."
Man in black?
Wen Yao was startled, and then wondered for a while, when did the guards at Dali Temple become so lax?Or is it that those men in black have the ability to appear and disappear?
"Does Ah Chu know?"
"Master already knows." Li Quan replied.
It has arrived at the side hall of Lin'an Palace.
Wen Yao thought for a while, since Ah Chu already knew, it meant that Ye Chu had already received the news when those people entered the dungeon.
How could he have forgotten the dark guards and shadow guards? These two groups of people have never seen each other. They must have been instructed by Ah Chu to hide somewhere for surveillance.
Seeing his pensive expression, Li Quan withdrew silently.
Not long after, the little eunuch came to report at the door, saying that the left servant of the Ministry of Industry had arrived.
Wen Yao hummed, indicating that he understood.
The little eunuch was a little embarrassed, but to Wen Sheng, he was able to pretend to be mature and calm, invited him in, served tea, and then retreated with low eyebrows.
As soon as the person left, Wen Sheng turned his head to look at Wen Yao. Wen Yao's eyebrows, which he hadn't seen for several months, had gradually opened up, and they looked more and more like Su Yunmian. The best silk and satin in the world cannot be bought for a hundred or two, and it is even more disgusting.
This material was obtained by Wen Yao from the national treasury, and even if you have money in Dachen, you may not be able to buy the top-quality cloud satin from foreign countries.
Seeing him staring at her intently, Wen Yao's eyes were full of disgust, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and jokingly said, "Why did Master Wen remember to see me?"
"Nie, Yaoyao'er, do you really want to see our father and son turn against each other?" Wen Sheng put away his disgust, and tried his best to smile bitterly at Wen Yao.
Wen Yao was not disgusted.
He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Wen Sheng, so he cut straight to the point: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Or I just remembered that I have a son now, no, it should be the son you abandoned." Wen Yao leaned against the table and said lazily.
Hearing his tone of disdain, Wen Sheng immediately wanted to point at Wen Yao and curse, regretting in his heart why he had been so soft-hearted and left this evil behind.
He clenched his fists repeatedly, and finally gritted his teeth to hold back his anger, as if he hadn't heard Wen Yao's sarcastic words, and pretended to be pitiful, "Today I came to the palace to see you for my father to see how you are doing."
"Very good, don't worry about it." Wen Yao said coldly.
How is he doing now?
Do you really think of yourself as a three-year-old baby?
"Yao, Yao'er is blaming my father for sending you into the palace, because my father forced you—"
"I don't blame you." Wen Yao interrupted him coldly, "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have met Ziyu either."
Ziyu? !Wen Sheng's heart skipped a beat, never thinking that his son could actually call the emperor's name directly.
It seems that the rumors are true, Ye Chu really dotes on him.
Jiang Sushang has been removed, and he has nothing to be afraid of. As long as Wen Yao can help him say a good word in front of Ye Chu, he can still continue to lie dormant in Da Chen.
He tried to use his blood relationship to win Wen Yao's mercy, but unfortunately Wen Yao was no longer the original "Wen Yao". Maybe the former "Wen Yao" would forgive him when he heard his "confession", but unfortunately he would not.
"If Mr. Wen has nothing else to do, please go back. After all, this is the harem, not your Wen family's side courtyard." Wen Yao deliberately emphasized the last four words. Wen Sheng's face changed when he heard the words, and he was about to leave angrily. Call him suddenly.
"It's not impossible for me to help you." Wen Yao said unhurriedly: "But I have a condition, if Mr. Wen agrees, I will let Ziyu let the past go."
If he does not agree to a thorough investigation, he will still be accused of being a horse thief.
Wen Sheng agreed almost without thinking, and Wen Yao smiled slyly, "There is something here, you can take a look at the content."
Wen Yao took out the object from the front lapel, it was a piece of rice paper, with densely packed characters written on it with a small seal pen.
He pushed to the other end of the table, Wen Sheng picked it up and looked, the more he went down, the more angry he became.
This little evil/zhong actually took the opportunity to try to get rid of him.
He didn't dislike this little evil at all. If he hadn't been soft-hearted at the beginning, the little evil would have died a long time ago.
Wen Yao didn't know what he was thinking. In his opinion, it was time to put an end to the relationship between Yuanchen and Wen Sheng. Yuanchen didn't owe Wen Sheng anything, and neither did he owe the other party anything.
Wen Sheng looked at it for a while, as if he wanted to poke a hole in the paper before he was reconciled, he raised his head and looked at Wen Yao, his eyes suddenly became cloudy, and Wen Yao could barely see some reluctance in it.
It's time to think about this son, okay?
Wen Yao sneered inwardly.
Wen Sheng fumbled for a while before saying, "I'll sign."
The voice was feeble and weak, as if she was really grieving, Wen Yao tsk tsk in his heart, this acting skill is really amazing, there are pens and inks in Lin'an Palace, Wen Yao went to the screen to get the pens and inks, and threw them to Wen Sheng.
Wen Sheng took the brush, sighed with a pretentious face, and then slowly turned the brush to sign his name.
Wen Yao stretched out his hand, took a look along it, and said quite satisfied: "With this severance letter, I will have no relationship with your Wen family in the future."
Wen Sheng's cracked lips squirmed up and down, "In the future - that's all, I won't bother you in the future."
After finishing speaking, he turned and left.
Li Quan looked in from the open window, and then quickly disappeared in place. Wen Yao sat quietly in front of the case, and after an unknown amount of time, a hand was placed on his shoulder.
"Don't be sad, there will be me in the future."
Wen Yao's throat moved, and he turned around and hugged him back, "I'm not sad, I just feel worthless for myself."
He felt worthless for the original body, how could he meet such a father in his good life.
"It's because he didn't cherish Yaoyao." Ye Chu touched Wen Yao's head, and said softly, "So it's not your fault, it's all his own fault."
Wen Yao raised his neck with a smile, hooked Ye Chu's long neck, and lightly bit his protruding throat/knot.
Ye Chu let him bite lightly, watching him play with his temper, his eyes were full of tenderness and doting.
At the door, through the crack of the door, Li Quan saw the two people cuddling together, warm and affectionate, loving and envious. He couldn't help but think of the child dressed as a guard.
Wen Sheng was "forced" to sign the severance letter, and left the palace feeling displeased. This agreement will be handed over to the magistrate at that time, and Wen Yao will be able to stand on his own.
Back in the mansion, just as he picked up the tea on the table in the room, he heard a noisy voice, and he knew who it was without looking at him.
The stewards in the mansion couldn't stop him, and after a while, people pushed the door open and entered, "Father, when will mother be released?"
It was his second daughter who came here. Wen Ningxun has been studying female celebrities in the courtyard these days, and her temperament is a bit restrained compared to before.
Not long ago, I donated a large sum of money to go out, and the food and clothing expenses of the house are not as good as before. A few servants were sent back to their hometown, and some monthly expenses were reduced.
It didn't take long for the boss to make a fuss. He said he didn't want to lose the ten taels of silver. That idiot was actually instigated by a little maid.
He searched all over the Wen Mansion but couldn't find the maid.
After knowing it, I discovered the paradox.
When did someone else's eyeliner get in his house?He didn't know who sent that girl, but based on this incident, he could conclude that the girl was here against him.
Fortunately, the second child is not as confused as the eldest, thinking that her temper has improved, but today she has lost her temper again.
"Does the yelling look like a lady!" Wen Sheng scolded her.
Wen Ningzun was yelled at until her eyes turned red and her voice trembled, "My daughter just cares about my mother."
"My mother was arrested, and my daughter is also very worried."
Wen Ningzi is beautiful, even if she cries and cries, the pear blossoms are raining, I feel pity for it, Wen Shengdang even softened his tone, "It's Daddy's fault, Daddy shouldn't just scold you indiscriminately."
With tears in the corners of Wen Ningzun's eyes, she shook her head when she heard the words, "It's not Dad's fault, it's all our fault, it's only our fault for offending the owner of Minshifu."
"My daughter doesn't understand what the boss is capable of, so that my mother can be imprisoned in Dali Temple."
"How could my mother find the horse thief? There must be some misunderstanding in the middle. Maybe it was the boss who framed my mother."
"Zi'er, at this time, as a father, I can only tell you that the owner of the Minshifu is the current imperial concubine." Wen Sheng only thought that the second child was devoted to female celebrity, and he had never heard any rumors from the outside world.
Wen Ningzun was startled, with tears in her eyes, she took a few steps back, "How is that possible? Could it be that the emperor didn't discover his true identity?"
"My silly daughter, the emperor already knew about it, I suspect—" At this point, he changed his words: "Call your sister here...you also go back and clean up."
tidy?Wen Ningzun's mind skipped a beat, she pulled Wen Sheng's sleeve, and asked softly, "Daddy, where are we going?"
"Don't ask." Wen Sheng said seriously: "Go back and clean up."
Wen Ningxin could only turn around and leave, and after a while Wen Ningxin cautiously came over.
Seeing her cautious and timid appearance, Wen Sheng felt annoyed and amused, and waved to her, "Come here."
"Father—you called me... What's the matter?" Wen Ningxin approached slowly, and asked stammeringly, afraid that she would also arrest the official messenger just like Jiang Sushang.
"Father has something to tell you." Wen Sheng said solemnly: "You know that because of you, we got into big trouble, the emperor won't let go, your mother probably won't be able to get out."
"For the current plan, we can only live in peace, and we can't make any mistakes during this period."
"I - I understand." Wen Ningxin lowered her head.
Wen Sheng said again: "Tomorrow you will live with Zi'er in another courtyard."
"Where's Daddy?"
"I still have to stay here." Wen Sheng said, "Xin'er is obedient, now is not the time to be self-willed, you go back and clean up, and leave in the evening."
"Daddy won't be here until some time later."
Wen Ningxin stared at him, then nodded after a long time.
Wen Sheng looked at her leaving figure with dim eyes.
After a while there was a sound from outside, Wen Sheng said: "Please come in when you are here."
There was no movement at the outer door, and after a while, a person came out from the side room, a figure in black outlining Pingting's figure, the person did not salute when he saw Wen Sheng, his face was covered, his seductive almond eyes were full of coldness Lie, "Master said you can leave in three days."
"Master, did you send someone to help?" Wen Sheng asked, as if he was used to this man's cold attitude.
That man didn't look at Wen Sheng directly, and he was not afraid of a sneak attack from behind when his back was turned to him. You don't need to worry about the master's affairs. "
"You—" Wen Sheng held back his anger, thinking of this person's usual behavior, he could only smash his teeth and swallow, and he felt even more resentful towards this person in his heart, and he didn't know where he found such a woman.
"You don't need to worry about other things." The man said again, and left quickly.
As soon as they left, Wen Sheng sat down with a tired expression, hoping that this woman could take him away smoothly.
In the evening, Wen Sheng asked two servants to drive, and took the Wen sisters away. Wen Ningxin and the two greeted Wen Sheng for a while, and when they got into the carriage, they each had cold faces. It was Wen Ningxin who was the first to hold back. , asked: "Zi'er is angry with my sister. My sister was only angry with me before. Now my mother is in jail, and my father seems to have something to hide from us. Now we can only rely on ourselves. I don't know. When will Daddy come to see us?"
"Daddy said he would come, so he will come. Don't think too much about it." Wen Ningxun didn't want to pay attention to her, but she knew in her heart that the only one she could rely on now was this elder sister.
The two stopped talking, and the carriage wheeled and drove on, but they didn't know that a black shadow flashed behind them.
……
After Wen Yao found all the ingredients he needed, he asked Li Quan to go to the granary to get some rice noodles. After breaking up with Wen Sheng yesterday, he suddenly thought that he could sell rice balls during the Chinese New Year.
Rice balls paired with drinks and soup would be very effective. As for the soup, he hasn't come up with it yet, but rice balls, bananas, and grapes can be prepared in advance.
There are sesame seeds and seaweed in the imperial dining room, so it is not difficult to make rice balls, but it is a pity that Zhang Mu and Xiao De are not here, if they are there, I can save the next time to teach them.
He wrote the recipe first, and the steps are simple,
On the attic, a man was holding a wine cup, leaning casually on the open window, listening to the conversations of groups of people in the market.
It was nothing more than Concubine Chen Xian.
The people upstairs listened to a few words, put down their wine cups, stood up, and awe-inspiring breath filled the room.
"Big Concubine Chen Xian, it's interesting..." The man turned his back to the open window, and from the side, he could see a slightly sinister smile.
There were two people on one side of the wine table, dressed in black shirts, standing upright, with their eyes closed and listening, half downcast, not knowing what to think.
The man suddenly said: "I really want to taste the food there, is it really as delicious as rumors outside?"
"Do you think it's the imperial cook who is skilled, or the concubine Xian?"
A man in a black shirt lowered his eyes halfway, raised his head slightly, not daring to look sharply at the man before the case, and said rigorously: "Returning to the master, it is natural that the imperial chef is even better."
"Oh." The man's voice rose, revealing an evil spirit, "Hearing you say that, it's as if you've tried it before."
The man in black immediately knelt down, "This subordinate dare not."
"Why don't you dare?" The man put his legs down, leaned against the wall, and asked, "What did the old man say?"
"He said that Emperor Chen had already suspected him, and he didn't dare to move around recently. At the same time, he hoped that, master, you can send someone to meet him."
"The guy who failed to accomplish anything, still expects me to save him." The man sneered: "To this day, I haven't seen the situation clearly."
"Concubine Chen Xian is the old man's son. I don't know what he thinks when I send my son to the palace." The man played with the jade in his hand, his voice was low, and the two men in black didn't dare to make a sound.
"It's time to discard this chess piece." The man stood up gracefully, without turning his head, and said, "Contact other people again, and find that thing as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Kyoto, a certain house.Several people guarded the door of the room, and there were three people sitting in the room, one took the head seat, and the other two sat down respectively.
"That old man Wen Sheng has come to my house many times recently." said the man on the right hand side, he looks about thirty or four, with an ordinary appearance, but he speaks with a lot of confidence.
"The emperor is probably determined to deal with him this time, and it will not be easy to keep him." The man on the left said calmly.
He has a mustache on his face, and his temples are a little gray, but he is hale and hearty.
The person above frowned and remained silent, and the man on the right continued: "I can't see it all. The concubine Xian is just getting the favor, and she is the son of Wen Sheng. The emperor will care about affection."
"If you want me to say that old man Wen Sheng raised a good daughter, she went to trouble Concubine Xian for nothing." The man on the left said: "The emperor did not pursue Wen Sheng's crime of deceiving the emperor, it is already a blessing among misfortunes."
On that day, the emperor issued a decree to summon the second young lady of the Wen family into the palace. This alone could punish the nine families.
What is puzzling is that Ye Chu never used this crime to punish Wen Sheng, so it is not difficult for Ye Chu to save Wen Yao with Ye Chu's ability.
"Your Majesty, he has not announced the true gender of Concubine Xian to the public. The world only knows that Concubine Xian is the owner of the people's restaurant. No one knows if she is male or female." The person above finally spoke out.
"As for why Wen Sheng let his son into the palace in the first place, the old man is still puzzled."
"What's so puzzling." The man on the right said bluntly: "Wen Sheng doesn't like this son, and half of that child has the blood of the Su family."
The man on the left was busy winking at the other party, but the other party was talking with all his heart, he never saw it, and continued to be impassioned, expressing suggestions: "We all know the details of Wen Sheng, but he is just a poor scholar. The general's daughter, speaking of Su Yunmian, she is a great beauty, it's a pity that the old guy was taken advantage of for nothing."
"I just don't understand. How did the late emperor think of promising Su Yunmian to Wen Sheng?"
For various reasons, he was still unaware of it, and was about to continue the anatomical analysis.
The man above snapped: "Enough, you talk too much."
He waved his hand and said, "You all go back first and wait and see what happens."
"Yes." The two replied, got up and left the house.
After going out, the man hurriedly said: "Brother Wang, but brother, what did I say wrong?"
"You, you're more than just wrong, you're just——" the man called Brother Wang scolded softly, "You're extremely stupid! Then Miss Su Yunmian is something we can discuss in front of adults."
"Brother Wang, what do you mean to say, my lord likes Su Yunmian?"
The man with the mustache gave him a look of "experience for yourself", and walked away.
The man stopped where he was, with cold sweat dripping from his back, and his hair stood on end. He almost caused a catastrophe by accident just now.
My lord actually falls in love with Su Yunmian who has been dead for many years.
He didn't know much about this beautiful woman. He only knew that Su Yunmian was deeply loved by the late emperor and was often summoned to the palace. Just when everyone thought that the late emperor would accept her as a concubine, he issued an imperial decree to marry her into the high school. Soon Wen Sheng.
Not long after, the man in the room moved, got up and went to the bookcase, opened the hidden compartment, took out a scroll from inside, spread it out, and looked at it. As if looking at something, the man touched the eyes of the woman in the painting with his dark yellow hand, and murmured: "Yun Mian..."
"Don't worry, I will protect your only blood in this world."
Going back in time is like going back to the past, the first time he saw Su Yunmian, the delicate eyebrows and the smile without any calculations were deeply imprinted in his heart.
When he first met, he thought that the other party was the concubine of the late emperor Xinna, until one day a month later, he saw the other party's figure in the city.
He eagerly chased after him, and the other party seemed to be aware of it, so the maid asked him to go upstairs, and the two talked in the private room upstairs, it was the first time he talked to Su Yunmian.
She was a very interesting woman, and she often said something astonishing, and what she said shocked him.
It was only later that he learned that it was her idea that the first emperor vigorously developed agriculture and reduced or exempted taxes.
She bluntly asked the first emperor to pay attention to the gentry.
He talked with her several times, and he became more and more infatuated with this person. Later, he realized that she was not the late emperor's concubine, and was planning to ask the late emperor for a marriage. He never thought that the late emperor would betroth her to a small five-rank Dali Temple governor.
Not long after that, it was reported that she was seriously ill, and he was unable to visit due to his status, and died of illness a month later.
At that time, he only wanted to cut off Wen Sheng's dog's head.
He never knew that Su Yunmian had left a son, until that day when he saw Wen Yao, his blood boiled.
Wen Yao looks so much like Su Yunmian.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. No wonder that old Wen Sheng had hidden him for so many years.
He didn't know what happened to Su Yunmian back then, so that he died of illness suddenly.
After a long time, he put away the scroll, turned and left the house.
Wen Sheng had been having trouble sleeping and eating for the past few days, and the ministers who had some friendship with him on weekdays all avoided seeing him at this time.
Wen Sheng secretly scolded these people for turning their arms against each other, and the wind on the top of the wall was falling one way or another.
But I also know that at a critical moment, I can't offend people.
Yesterday, he went to ask to see Meng Jiangcang, and when the old man needed him, he would come and go as soon as he was called, and when his own disaster came, he wanted to ignore it, there is such a good thing in the world.
The big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken. He will make the bad things that Meng Jiangcang did public.
He leaned back in the chair with a slightly tired face. If he could go back as soon as possible, he wouldn't need to look at the faces of these people.
That woman Jiang Sushang dared to threaten him, she thought she could blackmail him by holding his secret, it was a joke.If she keeps messing around, she has no choice but to get rid of it quickly.
When Wen Ningxin and Wen Ningzun asked about it, they blamed Ye Chu on their own, and hated Ye Chu if they wanted to.
Wen Sheng's eyes were ruthless. It was a mistake to listen to that woman and let that bitch enter the palace!That bitch was ambiguous with the first emperor at the beginning, and now her son is entangled with the new emperor, it really is mother and son, both shameless!
As long as that person arrives in Kyoto, he will be able to escape unscathed.
Wen Ningxin offended Minshifu, offended the cheap/kind, she is just a waste, there is no need to keep it, but the second child is still useful.
The one who went back that year looked at her a few more times.
His daughter is not useless.
……
That night, Wen Yao did not return to the palace.The rhino looks at the moon, the moon is shaped into a corner, and it is hard to see clearly. I think it will rain tonight.
Wen Yao didn't want to encounter heavy rain on the way.
I made some simple dinners and ate with Chang Sanliuqing and others.
Just after Xushi, the pouring rain poured down, the sky was dark, the night wind was bleak, and the front was still unclear when I turned on the lamp. At this moment, the world seemed to be shrouded in rain.
Wen Yao closed the window, it was still early, so he planned to get some "drinks" when he had nothing to do.
There was still something to do before that, so he wrote a line on the paper and put it in the hidden compartment.
Then he began to think about what kind of "drink" to make. Fruits are scarce in this era, but bananas and lychees have been available a long time ago. He planned to ask Zhou Yun to find out where bananas are sold. If there are no bananas, he can only enter the palace Pick.
Wen Yao lay on the soft bed with his hands on the pillow, staring blankly at the roof.
At the same time, Ye Chu stared at the torrential rain from the door, and heard Shen Ran's report from below, "A group of men in black have entered the dungeon."
"Keep an eye on their movements and withdraw the Habayashi Army."
"Yes."
Although he didn't understand the master's intention, he didn't ask further.
"Go."
"Yes."
After Shen Ran left, Ye Chu didn't want to sleep, the plan was proceeding as he imagined, and now it's almost the same.
Ye Chu stood tall, looking at the rain outside the window, not knowing where he was thinking.
Shen Ran, dressed in black, flitted through the rain, causing a splash of water. He followed Ye Chu's words, withdrew the guards outside the dungeon, and sent the Habayashi army away. He turned over the roof, and braved the heavy rain to uncover a tile. look down.
Those men in black were very familiar with the layout of the dungeon. Shen Ran guessed that they were here to save people, but he didn't know who to save.
He didn't make a sound, let the rain wet his clothes, and patiently waited for the group of people to reach a cage. He bowed and walked lightly to the other side of the roof, and carefully untied the tiles, but saw that three of the group were missing. There were two people left, and they opened the prison door with their swords. The person in the prison was Jiang Sushang who was sent in a few days ago.
Jiang Sushang transferred from the empty secret room to the dungeon yesterday.
Jiang Sushang hurriedly exclaimed: "Who are you?"
She screamed, "Don't come here, don't come here!"
"Ma'am, don't be afraid." One of them spoke, and the voice was that of a daughter!
"We were sent by adults." She approached Jiang Sushang slowly with a soothing tone.
When Jiang Sushang heard that it was someone sent by Wen Sheng, she excitedly said, "You are finally here, did he ask you to come and save me?"
"Yes." The woman said: "My lord asked us to redeem Madam."
"What?" Jiang Sushang didn't understand the meaning of her words, and moved his head the next moment.
The woman looked at Jiang Sushang who was lying on the ground, and murmured: "My lord asked us to take you on the road, Madam can rest at ease now."
"Qin Luo, hurry up, the Habayashi Army is coming." Someone shouted from behind.
Qin Luo responded, turned around and left with them.
On the roof, Shen Ran froze, only wishing that the person had the same name and surname.
He came back to his senses in a trance, performed light kung fu and went back to the imperial study.
Ye Chu seemed to expect that he would come over at this time, standing in front of the case, without turning around, he said, "How is it?"
"Killed." Shen Ran said: "Those men in black moved their hands, and one of them mentioned 'my lord'. I don't know who it was."
He withheld the man's name.
Ye Chu waved his hand, signaling him to back off.
He was lying on the slum.
Jiang Sushang was killed in prison, and the person who came was ordered by his lord, who would that person be?
Wen Sheng or someone else?
If Wen Sheng was so good, how could he invite those people?
According to Shen Ran, Jiang Sushang was killed with a single knife. Even if he released the water himself, the fact that these people were able to sneak into Dali Temple is enough to show that they are not ordinary people from the rivers and lakes.
Ye Chu rubbed his eyebrows.
That woman deserved to die.
There was nothing to say all night, only the sound of dripping rain outside the window. When Wen Yao got up, it was raining continuously outside.
He planned to wait for the rain to stop before entering the palace.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and new drinks have to be launched before the year. Among them, bananas are the main ones, and the price is not cheap. They are still sold in limited quantities, and some new dishes have to be added at the same time.
For the cakes he made earlier, he plans to make a few more and make a few more pizzas. Someone will definitely need them for the Chinese New Year.
He made a list of ingredients needed for pizza and cakes, and handed them over to Zhou Yun to buy them as soon as possible.
After eating, the rain stopped.
Wen Yao took advantage of this time to go to the palace, and when he arrived at Muyao Palace, he sent a bodyguard to look for Li Quan, and then sent a little eunuch to look for Zhichun.
In the past few days, neither Zhichun nor the Zhao family sisters came to the restaurant. The Zhao family sisters came to the restaurant for a while before, and everyone missed them after not seeing each other for a long time.
Not only is Wen Yao preparing to launch new products, but he also feels that the branch store needs to be messed up like the main store. He plans to ask the Zhao sisters to help again, but this time they are not only serving as welcome guests, they also need to play the piano. Wen Yao wants to find a musician in the palace Teach them to play music, but I am afraid that the musicians will think they are noble, and they will not teach them seriously.If it is Guqin, he can teach it himself.
Wen Yao felt that this could also be used as an income, and maybe it could make Minshifu popular again.
Li Quan came soon and asked, "Why did the young master call his subordinates here?"
Wen Yao already knew that he was not a real eunuch, so Li Quan called himself a "subordinate".
"There is something that needs Brother Li's help."
"If you are useful to your subordinates, you can open your mouth, my little master." Although Li Quan's eyes were not cold, they were also slightly alienated, completely different from when Chang San was together.
Wen Yao's heart moved slightly, and he asked without thinking: "What do you think of San'er?"
When mentioning Chang San, Li Quan's eyes showed a little tenderness, and he said with a smile: "Chang San is a good boy."
"Then?" Wen Yao raised his eyebrows, obviously slightly dissatisfied with his answer.
"What then?" Li Quanming asked knowingly.
"Brother Li, I have always regarded you as my elder brother, and said with all my heart that I have never regarded Chang San as a servant. He and I are brothers and sisters. I only hope that Brother Li will not let him down. I can see that he likes Brother Li very much. "
Li Quan's eyebrows moved, he turned his head, his face was a little moist, and he said after a while: "Well... I will, I like him too."
After getting the guarantee, Wen Yao got back to business, "I came to look for Brother Li today because I wanted to ask Brother Li for something. I wonder if there are bananas in the palace?"
"Banana? What is that?" Li Quan had never heard of it.
Wen Yao's head twitched, and he forgot the name of the banana in this era. He tried his best to describe it, "It's so big, it's long and slightly curved, it's yellow, and it looks like a crescent moon... Yes, it looks like a rabbit hook."
Li Quan thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure out what it was. There were a lot of things in the palace. Although there was no gold, silver, or food in the treasury, there were still plenty of gold and silver jewellery, rare jewels, precious medicinal materials, melons and fruits tributed by foreign countries and small countries. few.
Wen Yao's head grew big for a while, his index finger turned up, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Eat, a kind of fruit!"
"This subordinate takes the little master over to have a look."
"That's fine too." Wen Yao said, "Is the key with you?"
"Yes." Li Quan led the way, "The master has always left the key here, but the little master needs it?"
"I won't need it for a while, and I don't know what's in it. I'll put it there first, and I'll get it from you when I need it." Wen Yao said nonchalantly.
Ordinary couples are the husband who is outside the house and the wife who is inside.
Wen Yao is only one point away.
Wen Yao is a young man, and Li Quan is not surprised. When he saw Wen Yao for the first time, he felt that he was different from other women. After getting along with him for a long time, he felt that he lived a free and easy life, and his words and deeds seemed to be different from the world. Maybe the other person is really an immortal from the Nine Heavens.
Li Quan thought to himself.
Opening the door of the treasury, leading Wen Yao to walk back, the jewelry flashed by in front of his eyes, Wen Yao suddenly remembered the jewelry and jade pendants he saw in the secret room of the palace. He didn't need these jewelry, but he could buy a lot of money. I don't know if Ye Chu is willing or not.
The tribute fruit was placed at the end, and Wen Yao walked over, only to see that the box was full of ice cubes, and he had to feel that people in this era are smart and wise.
"Who made these ices?"
"Master ordered us to put it in." Li Quan replied, "It's cold, and the food is not perishable. These melons and fruits are different, and the taste will not be fresh after a long time, so the master specially told me to put some ice in it."
"Where does this ice come from?"
"There is an ice store in the palace, which is brought back from the iceberg."
Wen Yao nodded, looking through the common fruits such as pears and plums, and finally fell on the tangerines, grapefruits, tangerines, oranges, and a box of light blue and larger fruits brought back from the south. Wen Yao took a closer look, It's an olive!
Good guy, I didn't expect it to exist in this era.
There were also olives in China in ancient times. In addition to the native species in the south of China, these species also came from India and Southeast Asia.
It seems that the settings in this book are basically the same as those in ancient China, but some places are very different. For example, some food is not available here. Thinking of this, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Seeing him in a daze, Li Quan didn't bother him.After a while, Wen Yao walked to the small box. The small wooden box was placed on the wooden table with unique carvings. Wen Yao opened it and saw a whole box of grapes!
These grapes are round and plump, with a purple-black body, and when they are placed in crushed ice, large crystal clear water droplets condense on the skin, which looks extremely delicious.
Wen Yao swallowed, and said, "Take this out."
Li Quan nodded, not seeing how delicious this was.
There was a large vermilion lacquered wooden box on the wooden table. Wen Yao lifted the wooden cover, and all he saw were buttery bananas!
There are really bananas!
"What the little master is looking for is this August melon?"
"This is called August melon?"
Li Quan nodded, Wen Yao smiled and said, "Yes, that's what I'm looking for."
Li Quan glanced at him suspiciously, but laughed and chatted with him, neither of them said much, Wen Yao was slightly relieved, how could Li Quan be more difficult to fool than Ye Chu.
His reason to Ye Chu was that he had an ancient book, but it was impossible for him to say that to Li Quan. First, the other party would probably not believe it if he said it. Second, it was such an important matter, how could he say it casually.
Fortunately, like Chang San, Li Quan didn't ask too much.
Bypassing the imperial garden, Wen Yao led the men to carry the two boxes to the imperial dining room, and was about to turn around when a young eunuch hurried over, panting, and said, "Concubine Xian has found you, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry is asking to see you. "
What did he come to him for?
Wen Yao muttered inwardly.
But it's good for him to come to him, and it saves him from looking for him.
"Let him go—" Wen Yao suddenly got stuck, forgetting where the concubine should send him when she sees the minister.
Li Quan understood, and said to the little eunuch: "Let the left servant of the Ministry of Industry wait in the side hall of Lin'an Palace."
Originally, it was a palace rule that no father came to visit his daughter. Da Chen only allowed his mother to visit, but the situation of the young master was different. He arranged people under the master's nose to prevent the other party from playing tricks.
Through Wen Ningxin making trouble for the people's restaurant, Jiang Sushang invited horse thieves to make trouble, which is enough to see that there is discord between them.
Where can Jiang Sushang, a boudoir woman, find horse thieves?It made him quite puzzled.
Where do those horse thieves usually stay?
It is estimated that no one can answer these questions. I believe that the little master does not know the details of Jiang Sushang. As her husband, Wen Sheng knows whether he knows it or not.
The little eunuch ran away.
Wen Yao asked: "Why did you think of asking him to wait in Lin'an Palace?"
Li Quan: "There is a master there, safe."
Wen Yao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
The two headed towards Lin'an Palace, and when they were about to reach the place, Li Quan pulled him into the palace from the other side, and whispered: "Wen Sheng is by no means as simple and honest as he appears on the surface, the master ordered his subordinates to take good care of the little master. .”
"There is one more thing, the subordinates have to tell the little master."
Wen Yao's thoughts changed, he thought that Wen Sheng's benevolence in ordinary times had deceived everyone, but he didn't expect that Ah Chu had suspected Wen Sheng long ago.
"what's up?"
"Last night, Mrs. Jiang was executed in the dungeon of Dali Temple." Li Quan said in a low voice.
Wen Yao frowned slightly, Jiang Sushang died like this?
Could it be that Ah Chu suspects that Wen Sheng is behind the scenes?
"Have you caught the murderer?"
Li Quan shook his head, "I haven't been caught, the people who came here are men in black."
Man in black?
Wen Yao was startled, and then wondered for a while, when did the guards at Dali Temple become so lax?Or is it that those men in black have the ability to appear and disappear?
"Does Ah Chu know?"
"Master already knows." Li Quan replied.
It has arrived at the side hall of Lin'an Palace.
Wen Yao thought for a while, since Ah Chu already knew, it meant that Ye Chu had already received the news when those people entered the dungeon.
How could he have forgotten the dark guards and shadow guards? These two groups of people have never seen each other. They must have been instructed by Ah Chu to hide somewhere for surveillance.
Seeing his pensive expression, Li Quan withdrew silently.
Not long after, the little eunuch came to report at the door, saying that the left servant of the Ministry of Industry had arrived.
Wen Yao hummed, indicating that he understood.
The little eunuch was a little embarrassed, but to Wen Sheng, he was able to pretend to be mature and calm, invited him in, served tea, and then retreated with low eyebrows.
As soon as the person left, Wen Sheng turned his head to look at Wen Yao. Wen Yao's eyebrows, which he hadn't seen for several months, had gradually opened up, and they looked more and more like Su Yunmian. The best silk and satin in the world cannot be bought for a hundred or two, and it is even more disgusting.
This material was obtained by Wen Yao from the national treasury, and even if you have money in Dachen, you may not be able to buy the top-quality cloud satin from foreign countries.
Seeing him staring at her intently, Wen Yao's eyes were full of disgust, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and jokingly said, "Why did Master Wen remember to see me?"
"Nie, Yaoyao'er, do you really want to see our father and son turn against each other?" Wen Sheng put away his disgust, and tried his best to smile bitterly at Wen Yao.
Wen Yao was not disgusted.
He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Wen Sheng, so he cut straight to the point: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Or I just remembered that I have a son now, no, it should be the son you abandoned." Wen Yao leaned against the table and said lazily.
Hearing his tone of disdain, Wen Sheng immediately wanted to point at Wen Yao and curse, regretting in his heart why he had been so soft-hearted and left this evil behind.
He clenched his fists repeatedly, and finally gritted his teeth to hold back his anger, as if he hadn't heard Wen Yao's sarcastic words, and pretended to be pitiful, "Today I came to the palace to see you for my father to see how you are doing."
"Very good, don't worry about it." Wen Yao said coldly.
How is he doing now?
Do you really think of yourself as a three-year-old baby?
"Yao, Yao'er is blaming my father for sending you into the palace, because my father forced you—"
"I don't blame you." Wen Yao interrupted him coldly, "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have met Ziyu either."
Ziyu? !Wen Sheng's heart skipped a beat, never thinking that his son could actually call the emperor's name directly.
It seems that the rumors are true, Ye Chu really dotes on him.
Jiang Sushang has been removed, and he has nothing to be afraid of. As long as Wen Yao can help him say a good word in front of Ye Chu, he can still continue to lie dormant in Da Chen.
He tried to use his blood relationship to win Wen Yao's mercy, but unfortunately Wen Yao was no longer the original "Wen Yao". Maybe the former "Wen Yao" would forgive him when he heard his "confession", but unfortunately he would not.
"If Mr. Wen has nothing else to do, please go back. After all, this is the harem, not your Wen family's side courtyard." Wen Yao deliberately emphasized the last four words. Wen Sheng's face changed when he heard the words, and he was about to leave angrily. Call him suddenly.
"It's not impossible for me to help you." Wen Yao said unhurriedly: "But I have a condition, if Mr. Wen agrees, I will let Ziyu let the past go."
If he does not agree to a thorough investigation, he will still be accused of being a horse thief.
Wen Sheng agreed almost without thinking, and Wen Yao smiled slyly, "There is something here, you can take a look at the content."
Wen Yao took out the object from the front lapel, it was a piece of rice paper, with densely packed characters written on it with a small seal pen.
He pushed to the other end of the table, Wen Sheng picked it up and looked, the more he went down, the more angry he became.
This little evil/zhong actually took the opportunity to try to get rid of him.
He didn't dislike this little evil at all. If he hadn't been soft-hearted at the beginning, the little evil would have died a long time ago.
Wen Yao didn't know what he was thinking. In his opinion, it was time to put an end to the relationship between Yuanchen and Wen Sheng. Yuanchen didn't owe Wen Sheng anything, and neither did he owe the other party anything.
Wen Sheng looked at it for a while, as if he wanted to poke a hole in the paper before he was reconciled, he raised his head and looked at Wen Yao, his eyes suddenly became cloudy, and Wen Yao could barely see some reluctance in it.
It's time to think about this son, okay?
Wen Yao sneered inwardly.
Wen Sheng fumbled for a while before saying, "I'll sign."
The voice was feeble and weak, as if she was really grieving, Wen Yao tsk tsk in his heart, this acting skill is really amazing, there are pens and inks in Lin'an Palace, Wen Yao went to the screen to get the pens and inks, and threw them to Wen Sheng.
Wen Sheng took the brush, sighed with a pretentious face, and then slowly turned the brush to sign his name.
Wen Yao stretched out his hand, took a look along it, and said quite satisfied: "With this severance letter, I will have no relationship with your Wen family in the future."
Wen Sheng's cracked lips squirmed up and down, "In the future - that's all, I won't bother you in the future."
After finishing speaking, he turned and left.
Li Quan looked in from the open window, and then quickly disappeared in place. Wen Yao sat quietly in front of the case, and after an unknown amount of time, a hand was placed on his shoulder.
"Don't be sad, there will be me in the future."
Wen Yao's throat moved, and he turned around and hugged him back, "I'm not sad, I just feel worthless for myself."
He felt worthless for the original body, how could he meet such a father in his good life.
"It's because he didn't cherish Yaoyao." Ye Chu touched Wen Yao's head, and said softly, "So it's not your fault, it's all his own fault."
Wen Yao raised his neck with a smile, hooked Ye Chu's long neck, and lightly bit his protruding throat/knot.
Ye Chu let him bite lightly, watching him play with his temper, his eyes were full of tenderness and doting.
At the door, through the crack of the door, Li Quan saw the two people cuddling together, warm and affectionate, loving and envious. He couldn't help but think of the child dressed as a guard.
Wen Sheng was "forced" to sign the severance letter, and left the palace feeling displeased. This agreement will be handed over to the magistrate at that time, and Wen Yao will be able to stand on his own.
Back in the mansion, just as he picked up the tea on the table in the room, he heard a noisy voice, and he knew who it was without looking at him.
The stewards in the mansion couldn't stop him, and after a while, people pushed the door open and entered, "Father, when will mother be released?"
It was his second daughter who came here. Wen Ningxun has been studying female celebrities in the courtyard these days, and her temperament is a bit restrained compared to before.
Not long ago, I donated a large sum of money to go out, and the food and clothing expenses of the house are not as good as before. A few servants were sent back to their hometown, and some monthly expenses were reduced.
It didn't take long for the boss to make a fuss. He said he didn't want to lose the ten taels of silver. That idiot was actually instigated by a little maid.
He searched all over the Wen Mansion but couldn't find the maid.
After knowing it, I discovered the paradox.
When did someone else's eyeliner get in his house?He didn't know who sent that girl, but based on this incident, he could conclude that the girl was here against him.
Fortunately, the second child is not as confused as the eldest, thinking that her temper has improved, but today she has lost her temper again.
"Does the yelling look like a lady!" Wen Sheng scolded her.
Wen Ningzun was yelled at until her eyes turned red and her voice trembled, "My daughter just cares about my mother."
"My mother was arrested, and my daughter is also very worried."
Wen Ningzi is beautiful, even if she cries and cries, the pear blossoms are raining, I feel pity for it, Wen Shengdang even softened his tone, "It's Daddy's fault, Daddy shouldn't just scold you indiscriminately."
With tears in the corners of Wen Ningzun's eyes, she shook her head when she heard the words, "It's not Dad's fault, it's all our fault, it's only our fault for offending the owner of Minshifu."
"My daughter doesn't understand what the boss is capable of, so that my mother can be imprisoned in Dali Temple."
"How could my mother find the horse thief? There must be some misunderstanding in the middle. Maybe it was the boss who framed my mother."
"Zi'er, at this time, as a father, I can only tell you that the owner of the Minshifu is the current imperial concubine." Wen Sheng only thought that the second child was devoted to female celebrity, and he had never heard any rumors from the outside world.
Wen Ningzun was startled, with tears in her eyes, she took a few steps back, "How is that possible? Could it be that the emperor didn't discover his true identity?"
"My silly daughter, the emperor already knew about it, I suspect—" At this point, he changed his words: "Call your sister here...you also go back and clean up."
tidy?Wen Ningzun's mind skipped a beat, she pulled Wen Sheng's sleeve, and asked softly, "Daddy, where are we going?"
"Don't ask." Wen Sheng said seriously: "Go back and clean up."
Wen Ningxin could only turn around and leave, and after a while Wen Ningxin cautiously came over.
Seeing her cautious and timid appearance, Wen Sheng felt annoyed and amused, and waved to her, "Come here."
"Father—you called me... What's the matter?" Wen Ningxin approached slowly, and asked stammeringly, afraid that she would also arrest the official messenger just like Jiang Sushang.
"Father has something to tell you." Wen Sheng said solemnly: "You know that because of you, we got into big trouble, the emperor won't let go, your mother probably won't be able to get out."
"For the current plan, we can only live in peace, and we can't make any mistakes during this period."
"I - I understand." Wen Ningxin lowered her head.
Wen Sheng said again: "Tomorrow you will live with Zi'er in another courtyard."
"Where's Daddy?"
"I still have to stay here." Wen Sheng said, "Xin'er is obedient, now is not the time to be self-willed, you go back and clean up, and leave in the evening."
"Daddy won't be here until some time later."
Wen Ningxin stared at him, then nodded after a long time.
Wen Sheng looked at her leaving figure with dim eyes.
After a while there was a sound from outside, Wen Sheng said: "Please come in when you are here."
There was no movement at the outer door, and after a while, a person came out from the side room, a figure in black outlining Pingting's figure, the person did not salute when he saw Wen Sheng, his face was covered, his seductive almond eyes were full of coldness Lie, "Master said you can leave in three days."
"Master, did you send someone to help?" Wen Sheng asked, as if he was used to this man's cold attitude.
That man didn't look at Wen Sheng directly, and he was not afraid of a sneak attack from behind when his back was turned to him. You don't need to worry about the master's affairs. "
"You—" Wen Sheng held back his anger, thinking of this person's usual behavior, he could only smash his teeth and swallow, and he felt even more resentful towards this person in his heart, and he didn't know where he found such a woman.
"You don't need to worry about other things." The man said again, and left quickly.
As soon as they left, Wen Sheng sat down with a tired expression, hoping that this woman could take him away smoothly.
In the evening, Wen Sheng asked two servants to drive, and took the Wen sisters away. Wen Ningxin and the two greeted Wen Sheng for a while, and when they got into the carriage, they each had cold faces. It was Wen Ningxin who was the first to hold back. , asked: "Zi'er is angry with my sister. My sister was only angry with me before. Now my mother is in jail, and my father seems to have something to hide from us. Now we can only rely on ourselves. I don't know. When will Daddy come to see us?"
"Daddy said he would come, so he will come. Don't think too much about it." Wen Ningxun didn't want to pay attention to her, but she knew in her heart that the only one she could rely on now was this elder sister.
The two stopped talking, and the carriage wheeled and drove on, but they didn't know that a black shadow flashed behind them.
……
After Wen Yao found all the ingredients he needed, he asked Li Quan to go to the granary to get some rice noodles. After breaking up with Wen Sheng yesterday, he suddenly thought that he could sell rice balls during the Chinese New Year.
Rice balls paired with drinks and soup would be very effective. As for the soup, he hasn't come up with it yet, but rice balls, bananas, and grapes can be prepared in advance.
There are sesame seeds and seaweed in the imperial dining room, so it is not difficult to make rice balls, but it is a pity that Zhang Mu and Xiao De are not here, if they are there, I can save the next time to teach them.
He wrote the recipe first, and the steps are simple,
