Girls love to joke [Zhan Zhao colleagues]

As the new year is approaching, the daily affairs of Kaifeng Mansion are much busier than usual, but even so, there is still a strong sense of festiveness and New Year in the mansion.On this day, Lord Bao was discussing with Mr. Gongsun and Zhan Zhao in the study, and the servant girl brought a plate of snacks.Mr. Bao glanced at it, quite puzzled, he didn't have the habit of eating snacks on weekdays, why did he keep delivering snacks to the study these days?Moreover, the shape of this dim sum is weird, why is this?

Mr. Gongsun explained with a smile: "My lord doesn't know, but Miss Su and Cuiming made it. I heard that they wanted to sell steamed buns, so I came here to ask Mrs. Zhang in the kitchen for advice. I think these steamed buns are for adults to try." Zhan Zhao coughed slightly at the side, trying something new?It's just buns.

As far as he knew, Su Lin's stall had been closed for a while because of the murder case, but now that the case is over, it will reopen.The end of the year is approaching, if the stall only sells milk tea, it is really too simple.Therefore, she wanted to cook something suitable for the occasion.After much deliberation, I decided to make a gorgeous transformation of steamed buns—making animal steamed buns.Although it's just steamed buns, the two girls are not good at home, so they asked Gongsun Xiaoyun to help and went to Kaifeng Mansion to learn from Mrs. Wang, the cook.This is how the scene of giving snacks came into being.

"I see." Master Bao nodded, took a few steps, and turned to Zhan Zhao: "Guard Zhan, can you find out about Miss Su? Has she changed?"

Zhan Zhao: "My lord, according to my subordinates' secret observations, I didn't find anything unusual about her, but I couldn't find out her details. But, according to what she said..."

Seeing the hesitation on his face, Mr. Gongsun couldn't help being curious: "Why? What's wrong?" A few days ago, when Miss Su was temporarily staying in the government office, he went to check her pulse a few times, and got to know her a little bit.That girl is straightforward and often speaks amazing words, and when she sees you embarrassed, she smiles.A flower, a grass, a tree, and a tree can be used for jokes, and they can speak freely.He had kindly and tactfully persuaded her, but she repeatedly nodded in agreement with a very sincere attitude, but she put it aside in a blink of an eye.That day I accidentally saw her teasing Zhan Wei, and when caught, she was not ashamed, and asked him to appreciate her handwriting, and finally complained that Zhan Wei didn't want to teach her how to write.Such a girl, if you really talk about it, her whole body is unusual.

Zhan Zhao thought for a moment, then spoke slowly: "She said she came from... after a thousand years, and my subordinates thought her words were not credible."

Master Bao stopped in his tracks, his eyes fell on the plate of dim sum for a while, and he said slowly: "It's really unbelievable, but there are many wonders in the world. I see that although she has a temper and has many problems, she is not like He is a very evil person. Regardless of whether it is true or not, you must be on guard against others, and you need to keep an eye out for Zhan's protection." Zhan Zhao took the order, and knew in his heart that although Su Lin did not change anything, her origin was unknown after all, so keep an eye on her. Mind is what it should be.

It was past half past noon when Zhan Zhao came out of the study, it was lunch time.Along the way, he met Wang Chao and a few yamen servants. When they saw him, they were all hesitant to speak, and their brows were knotted.After several inquiries, I learned that it was caused by Su Lin's steamed buns. Since she started to study steamed buns, Kaifeng Mansion has been eating steamed buns for several days.If it's just steamed buns, it's fine, but her craftsmanship is not satisfactory, making steamed buns... don't worry about it.Wang Chao grimaced, and said, "Lord Zhan, you are familiar with Miss Su, you go and persuade her, as far as her skills are concerned, let's do something else, the brothers really can't take it anymore."

Zhan Zhao is silent, and he also suffers from it. Every time Miss Su comes out with a new trick, she will send it to him to try it out.Several people were talking about this, when Su Lin came from the corridor, Zhan Zhao was alert, and quickly signaled everyone to be silent.Su Lin came slowly and invited Zhan Zhao to taste the steamed buns she made.Wang Chao and the others changed their expressions, and hurriedly left on the pretext of having official duties.All of a sudden, Yu Zhanzhao was standing there alone, feeling somewhat righteous.In the end, Zhan Zhao was forced to eat steamed buns again, and he ate them like chewing wax, sighing inwardly, why couldn't he hide from her?

Su Lin watched from the side, asking him if the food was good from time to time.Finally, he frowned unbearably, and said, "Girl, why don't you try one yourself?" Hearing this, she laughed so hard that it took a while for her to recover, and said, "I've tasted it before, but the steamed buns are too hard, and the bean paste wraps The thick stuffing is thick and too sweet, what a failure. I just didn’t expect you to be able to eat it as much, isn’t it because you think it’s delicious?”

Zhan Zhao put down the steamed bun in his hand and sighed deeply. He was worried that the truth would hurt others, but some people thought it was a joke.He really didn't know how to express his mood at this moment, so he could only sigh.Su Lin didn't give up, pointing to steamed buns of different shapes and said: "Although the taste is not good, but the appearance is cute, can you make up for it a little bit?" Zhan Zhao took a sip of tea and said, "This is a steamed bun, not a decoration. .”

Su Lin paced back and forth in the room, muttering something: "Hmm... steamed buns, steamed buns, steamed buns... How can the steamed buns be made high-end and elegant?" Seeing her like this, Zhan Zhao sighed silently in his heart again, and broke his words today , should stop.

Suddenly, Su Lin stopped in her tracks. Isn't there that Wangzai steamed bun?That thing is small and cute, suitable for all ages, and it is carefully packaged and can be given as a gift!That's it, Wangzai Xiaomantou!She couldn't help laughing to herself, almost to the point of being carried away.Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, and sighed in his heart, she is really full of energy, what did she think of this time?

After some experiments, Su Lin finally developed Wangzai steamed buns, which are unique in the Northern Song Dynasty even though they are not authentic enough.I specially found a unique box and put it in. The lid said Wang, and tied it with a big red ribbon. It's pleasing to look at.What did the slogan say?Oh, people are prosperous and the body is prosperous, wealth is prosperous, fortune is prosperous, and luck is prosperous; if you eat prosperous during the Chinese New Year, you will be prosperous in the new year!

There is no profit in selling snacks like Wangzai steamed buns to ordinary people. Her target customers are rich people. The first step is to find ways to break into the aristocratic circle of the capital, which requires the help of the Kaifeng government.It is inevitable to visit relatives and friends to give each other gifts during the Chinese New Year. She entrusted Gongsun Xiaoyun to ask Mr. Gongsun to bring her small steamed buns when giving gifts, so that the fresh food will not only win the love of everyone, but at least catch the girl The heart of home and children.

In addition to relying on the relationship of Kaifeng Mansion, Su Lin also misses Zhuo Wudong. She learned from Zhan Zhaona that Zhuo Wudong runs the largest escort agency in Bianjing, and has business contacts with various merchants, and has good personal relationships. There are countless.Since then, Zhuo Wudong has become a moving golden mountain in her eyes, and he has been classified into the ranks of tall, rich and handsome, which is pleasing to the eye.Zhuo Wudong is kind to her, and the end of the year is approaching, so she should give some gifts.

Under the leadership of the butler, Su Lin walked through many corridors to Zhuo Wudong's study, along the way there are rockery pavilions, flowing water and jade trees. Although it is already winter, there is no sign of depression.The house is grand and stable, and the details are exquisite.It is somewhat similar to Zhuo Wudong, I heard that he has been in charge of the house for many years, and this house should have been repaired according to his preferences.Entering the study, Zhuo Wudong was practicing calligraphy, he didn't lift his head, he said very casually: "Miss Su, what brought you here?" The last time we left, it has been a while since we saw each other.Years ago was the busiest, he didn't even have time to find Zhan Zhao, so how could he remember her?

Su Lin put the gift she brought on the table, and walked to the desk to watch him write. The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and she couldn't help praising him.Zhuo Wudong squinted at her, and said with a smile: "You can go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, why are you here today?" Su Lin smiled and said: "How can I say that Chief Zhuo's bodyguard is also my savior, and I have never had a chance to thank you properly. , Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, I would like to send some snacks from my house to express my gratitude, and I hope I will not dislike it."

Zhuo Wudong dropped the pen, looked at the gift box on the round table in the hall, and strode towards it: "Eat food? I underestimated you." Opening the box, he grabbed some small steamed buns and asked, "What are these? "

Su Lin proudly said: "Wangzai's little steamed buns, eat Wangwang during the Chinese New Year, keep your life prosperous, your body prosperous, your wealth prosperous, your fortune prosperous, and your fortune prosperous."

Zhuo was noncommittal, stuffed two into his mouth and tasted, his eyebrows frowned slightly.This dim sum melts in the mouth, with a rich milky aroma, it is something to coax children.With this realization, he threw the remaining few back into the box.He didn't like Xiao Mantou in her expectation, and she didn't expect him to like it.She continued: "Does your bodyguard send out new year's goods? How about some of my Wangzai steamed buns?"

Zhuo Wudong was playing with the box, although the taste was not to his liking, but the box was festive, it was the time of the year.However, she really dared to say this. Is he familiar with her?She smiled and said, "Miss Su really knows how to do business." Su Lin said with a smile, she was here to sell her steamed buns.

Suddenly, a man's voice came from outside: "Brother Zhuo has guests? It seems that I came at the wrong time." While talking, he saw a refined man approaching gracefully, Zhuo Wudong immediately stood up to greet him, and said in his mouth: " Why is Brother Chang Yi free to pay a visit today?"

The man was familiar with Zhuo Wudong, so he entered the study very casually: "Knowing that you are back, I specially took the time to invite you to have a talk." Looking at Su Lin in a blink of an eye, he said curiously: "This girl has a very good face." According to him As we all know, Zhuo Wudong hates girls' homes very much, it's really rare that a girl's family came to visit today.

"This is Miss Su Lin, her food is really fresh, you might as well bring some back to taste." Zhuo Wudong smiled and invited him to take a seat, "Miss Su, this is the eldest son of the Li family, Li Changyi."

"Li's?" Su Lin's knowledge of the merchants was limited to a few small vendors near her stall.

Zhuo Wudong pushed the gift box in front of Li Changyi, and explained: "The Li family is in the business of medicinal materials." Li Changyi nodded towards Su Lin: "Miss Su's food is very pleasing and delicious, please send some to the house tomorrow Come on, I think my mother will like it." Su Lin smiled openly, and was greatly surprised by Zhuo Wudong, but his face was cold and warm, and all previous prejudices against him were withdrawn.After the business was completed, she didn't want to stay, so she asked Li's address and resigned.

Years ago, everywhere was festive and busy. Zhan Zhao was originally busy with official duties and warm-hearted. He often patrolled the streets in place of the policemen who were going home for the New Year. I passed him twice.One day, Zhan Zhao came back from going out to do some errands. After reporting to Mr. Bao, he hurried to the palace to be on duty. When he was about to leave, Mr. Gongsun called him: "Guard Zhan."

Zhan Zhao was in a hurry, and his steps were too big. When Mr. Gongsun called him to stop him, he had already gone a little far.He glanced back and turned back: "What's the matter, sir?" Mr. Gongsun was smiling, but Zhan Zhao felt that his smile was a little weird, and he couldn't figure out the reason for it for a while, so he waited patiently for the following.Mr. Gongsun knew that he was busy, so he didn't pretend to be a fool. He said, "Miss Su came to give you a boxing gift at noon. I took it for you and put it in your room. I happened to meet you and let me know." Mr. Gongsun thought of the gift from Su Lin Jie Li couldn't help chuckling, that girl was very clever, and she was quite scheming in business as well.He could see that she was by no means a peaceful person, but she was not lacking in subtleties, and she didn't know whether it was good or bad for Yu Zhanwei.

Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, she even gave him a gift?Recently, he has been busy with affairs in the palace and patrolled the streets in a hurry. Thinking about it carefully, he has not seen her for quite some time.He thought for a while, and said: "Thank you sir for letting me know. I will thank her when I am free some other day. If you meet her again, sir, please pass it on."

Mr. Gongsun waved his hand: "She said that business is busy at the end of the year, so I'm afraid she won't be able to get away. You have to go and thank you in person when you have time. Hehe, Miss Su's gift is very special, you might as well go back to the house and have a look." Listen to Gongsun When Mr. said that, Zhan Zhao was indeed aroused curiosity, bowed his head and smiled: "Let's see when you come back, Mr. Gongsun, Zhan Zhao is one step ahead." After finishing speaking, he even quickened his pace and went out the door.

That night, Zhan Zhaozhong saw the boxing gift from Su Lin—it was a small potted plant, which she found specially, and the pot was not as big as his palm.In the swaying candlelight, the tender green leaf buds are lovely.In the bleak winter, the eyes are pale, and this little bit of greenery is very eye-catching, and it also makes the simple room come alive.Zhan Zhao looked at the small greenery carefully, and couldn't help but smile, she had a heart, if she was in front of her at this moment, she must be very satisfied, right?

Zhan Zhao, Zhan Zhao.Do you like it?

He seemed to hear her coquettish soft words, although he felt that the tone was too intimate, but at this moment, he thought she should be like this.Fingers with thin calluses gently caressed the young leaves, and the leaves swayed and collided with each other, as if they were alive.It's like her looking bright eyes, and like her bright smile.Feeling inexplicably satisfied in my heart, this... is very, pleasing.
