Sir, I can do it!

The drizzle was about to stop, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard were washed by the rain.Bored, Wei Zhaobai lay down on the table to eat candied fruit, and asked Huo Bao'er to pack the remaining candied fruit into several different boxes and hide them.

Huo Bao'er looked at his young master's delicious bites, and thought about the three pitiful candied fruit in Master Yuan's hands, he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

Wei Zhao's ears were sharp, as if he heard something, he hurriedly asked Huo Bao'er to put away the candied fruit.Sure enough, it didn't take long, Wei Yuan ran over, and Ding Quan followed closely, holding an umbrella, lest the young master would be caught in the rain.

"Third Uncle." Wei Yuan threw himself on Wei Zhao and yelled softly, sniffing and sniffing Wei Zhao with his little nose.

"Sweet!"

Huo Bo'er blushed, as if a little ashamed.Wei Zhao said without shame, "Your third uncle has been sweet since childhood."

Wei Yuan's black grape-like eyeballs kept rolling, glancing at Huo Bao'er from time to time, which made Huo Bao'er even more ashamed.Although he knew it was not good to eat too much candied fruit, but deceiving children always made him feel like a ghost.

Wei Zhao knew that his servant was thin-skinned, so he quickly changed the subject and asked Wei Yuan, "Didn't you say you're going to enter the palace today?"

"Father said it was raining and told Mother to go tomorrow."

Wei Zhao smiled and said, "A simple and straightforward person like Big Brother actually loves him so much."

"Father said that girls need pain." Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Third Uncle, I haven't seen Sister Changle for a long time, do you want to give Sister Changle a gift?"

"Well, that's how it should be. Yuan'er has any good ideas?"

Wei Yuan lay on Wei Zhao's lap, and smiled: "Sister Changle said last time that she likes to eat candied fruit!"

Wei Zhao: ...

Wei Zhao pretended to be distressed and said, "Oh, what a coincidence. The aunt who sells candied fruit has an accident at home, and she is out of business these days. Third uncle gave you all the candied fruit yesterday. Plant it."

Wei Yuan pouted: "But sister Changle wants candied fruit!"

"Chang Le wants candied fruit, or our Young Master Yuan wants candied fruit." Wei Zhao scratched Wei Yuan's little nose and said with a smirk.

Wei Yuan blushed, hugged Wei Zhao's thigh and shouted, "Third Uncle is the best!"

"Stop, don't act like a baby with third uncle. If the time comes, sister-in-law will blame her if she eats up her teeth. Brother will definitely stand by sister-in-law's side. I can't stand it."

Wei Yuan was still lingering, when suddenly he heard a young servant coming to report: "Master Nanfu Supervisor has arrived and wants to see the third young master."

Wei Zhaoteng stood up: "Come in, please!"

"Yuan'er, be good. Third Uncle has a visitor. After this matter is resolved, the aunt who sells candied fruit will come out to set up a stall. Then Third Uncle will buy it for you."

Even though Wei Yuan didn't give up, he couldn't resist the temptation of candied fruit, so he agreed aggrievedly.

After sending Wei Yuan away, Wei Zhao hurried back to the bedroom and asked Huo Bao'er to invite Changsun Ke to Xiaohua Hall.

Changsun Ke seemed to have been running around, and his cloak was already wet. He stopped at the entrance of the flower hall, took off the soaked cloak that was still dripping, put it on the railing of the corridor outside the flower hall, and then entered the house.

Huo Bao'er made a pot of hot tea and put it on the table, and said in a low voice, "Please, grandson."

Changsun Ke said 'hmm', lifted his robe and sat on the next guest seat, picked up the teacup and blew on it, and then drank it down in one gulp, suddenly a warm current flooded his body, driving away the cold air.

Huo Bo'er stood close to the door, eagerly looking outside.After a while, Wei Zhao, who had changed into clothes, came out of the bedroom with a small fan in his hand.The corner of Huo Bo'er's mouth twitched slightly, always feeling that his young master looked a little... flamboyant today.

"It's really impolite to welcome a distinguished guest at the door." Wei Zhao walked forward with a smile, and suddenly felt a wave of moisture.Seeing that Changsun Ke's hair was a little damp again, he hurriedly asked: "Master Changsun came here in the rain, why didn't you wear an umbrella? The cold in spring has not subsided, and the rain is even more damp and cold. It's going to be cold to the bone. What if you catch a cold?" good."

Changsun Ke straightened his body and said, "It's okay, I'm in good health."

"If you are in good health, you can't stand such abuse." He said angrily, then turned to Huo Bao'er and said, "Hurry up and light a stove to roast your eldest grandson."

Turning around, seeing the cloak that Changsun Ke often wears hanging out, he was startled and said, "The clothes are all soaked! Huo Baoer, dry your lord's cloak quickly, and wear the wet clothes on your body." It's going to be cold."

Seeing that Wei Zhao was making arrangements in a hurry, Changsun Ke lowered his head and smiled slightly, feeling even more warm.

"I'm here to tell you that Dong Yu has been found."

Wei Zhao sat sideways on the main seat, flicked his fan, and asked in surprise, "So fast? Where is he?"

"Nanfu morgue."

……

"Dead, dead?"

"Well, Chen Jinghuai fished him up from the middle of the Jinshui River this morning."

Wei Zhao gave a 'tsk' sound, and suddenly thought of Aunt Jiang, and couldn't help feeling a little bit sentimental.

"Aunt Jiang is the only one left, and the days to come will be sad."

Xu Shi was used to seeing life and death, but Chang Sun Ke didn't care much. He said: "In this world, people die every day, and every day there is life. The world is impermanent, and life and death reincarnate. Do you all have to be sentimental?"

Wei Zhao shook his head: "That's not true, I just fell in love with Aunt Jiang, and I can't bear to see her sad. You are right, people leave every day in this world, but what should continue is still going on. Except for the closest relatives, people will think God The ground collapsed, and the bystanders just sighed. The rain will eventually stop, and the sun will eventually clear the clouds and mists."

"Young Master Wei is a man of temperament."

"Hey, look at me, saying these words at this time is nothing more than adding to your troubles. It's better to find out the cause of Dong Yu's death as soon as possible and find the murderer, so that Aunt Jiang's heart can be at ease."

"Preliminary investigation revealed that Dong Yu died of drowning, but there are still some doubts."

"Can I..."

"can!"

Wei Zhao immediately jumped up and shouted to the outside: "Huo Baoer, is the grandson's cloak dry? This young master is going out!"

Huo Bao'er trotted over and said: "The clothes are dry, but young master, lunch is served in the front yard..."

"Hey, it's important to get things done, besides, Nanfu can still afford to eat this young master."

Huo Bao'er had no choice but to take Changsun Ke's cloak and prepare two more umbrellas.It was cool today, and I found a blue cloak for my young master, and then ran to get a Roman carriage.

Changsun Ke didn't know what came to mind, and asked, "I heard that the candied fruit that Aunt Jiang sells is delicious."

“Excellent, very special taste.”

"Can I have a taste?"

Wei Zhao squinted at him: "Isn't Master Changsun not fond of sweets?"

"The weather is bad today."

Wei Zhao: "What does it matter?"

Changsun Ke glanced at him.Wei Zhao hurriedly said, "I'll get it right away."

Xu Shi was afraid of poverty when he was young, and Huo Bao'er loved to hoard things, fearing that one day he would not be able to eat.He is also good at hiding things.Wei Zhao rummaged through the room several times before he found one of the boxes containing candied fruit in a corner.

He generously gave the whole box to Changsun Ke: "Hey, the best thing Aunt Jiang makes is green plum fruit."

Changsun Ke took one from it and put it in his mouth, and swallowed it expressionlessly.The candied fruit is delicious, moderately sweet and sour, and mellow in the mouth.Changsun Ke doesn't like sweets, but the taste of this candied fruit gave him an inexplicable strange feeling.

Zhan Yi said that Jiang may be from Nanjun.The Meiyuan case is still unclear, and now that Dong Yu has drowned again, Jiang's life experience is a mystery.

Changsun Ke put aside the weird feeling in his mind and put his mind on the case.As the son of the Marquis of Zhen Guo, Wei Zhao has been clothed with rich clothes and fine food since he was a child, so the food that caught his eyes must be extremely delicate.Although the Jiang family set up a stall outside Sajinmen, the candied fruit tasted even better than any shops in the inner city.

Nan Fu's secret agents must be careful and cautious in what they do, sometimes a little habit can be noticed and reveal their identity.As a supervisor, you must practice a pair of sharp eyes when interrogating the secret agents of various countries.Therefore, although Changsun Ke has no desire for food, he knows all about the specialties of various places.

There is a beautiful place called Fengxi further south in Nanjun. Every late spring and early summer, large areas of pansies are in full bloom, and the mountains and plains are full of fresh floral fragrance.In the rainy season, there are many women who pick green plums together, or make wine, or pickle them, sour and sweet, very delicious.

During the heyday of the Chu State, there was frequent trade between various places, and the green plums in Fengxi gradually flowed to other places.Pickled greengage compote is also highly recommended.It's just that the unique method of Fengxi people has not been spread, and the green plums made by outsiders are more or less sour.

Green plum fruit, pansies, the Jiang family is most likely from Fengxi.

In the state of Chu, the Jiang family in Fengxi was a rich family, but I don't know if there is any relationship between the Jiang family in Xiahe Village and the Jiang family in Fengxi.

While thinking about it, he unknowingly ate several candied fruit.Seeing that Wei Zhao looked at him strangely, he put down the candied fruit in embarrassment.

Wei Zhao smiled and pushed the box forward: "Eat it as you like, I think you really like it."

Changsun Ke put on the cloak expressionlessly, put the box in the cloak, and said, "You can go."

At the beginning of the rain, the stratus clouds slowly receded, the sky gradually cleared up, and the air was crisp and refreshing.There was some rain on the bluestone ground, and the breeze blew by, causing the water in the low-lying areas to ripple and shimmer.

Wei Zhao and Changsun Ke chatted while walking, not noticing a pair of smart eyes in the bushes beside them.

When the two of them walked away, Wei Yuan came out from the undergrowth, pinched his waist and puffed up, "Third Uncle is lying, Third Uncle must have candied fruit, I have smelled it, and that lord is also fragrant and sweet." .”

"No, I have to go to the third uncle's room to look for it, Huo Bao'er is the best at hiding things!"
