Kaifeng Mansion's Little Boss
Chapter 50 3 more in 1
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao immediately ran over.
"What are you doing!" Zhan Zhao was the first to question Su Jinjing.
Bai Yutang squatted down beside Su Yuan, intending to help her up.
Su Jinjing pointed at Su Yuan angrily, and explained: "It's her—"
Su Yuan suddenly raised his head, his almond eyes, which were originally clear and smiling, turned slightly red, and tears swirled in his eye sockets.With her petite figure, she shrunk her shoulders and looked at people with tears and aggrievedly. No one could help but feel distressed when they saw her.
Su Jinjing was stunned when he saw this scene, and Fang realized that Su Yuan was plotting against him.
After Bai Yutang helped Su Yuan up, he grabbed the knife in his hand, and suddenly looked away from Su Yuan, looking at Su Jinjing.Those eyes were gloomy and frightening, like a jade-faced life-seeking ghost from hell, full of murderous aura, and went straight to Su Jinjing.
Before Su Jinjing could explain that it was Su Yuan's frame-up, he was suddenly frightened by Bai Yutang's murderous aura, and took several steps back.
"What do you want!"
"It's not me—" When he was talking anxiously, Bai Yutang looked at him with even colder eyes, as if he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
This made Su Jinjing take a few steps back in fright, but he staggered and fell to the ground.Seeing that Bai Yutang was going to let him go and came towards him quickly, his legs began to tremble in anxiety, and he couldn't even stand up.
Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Zhan Zhao hurriedly stopped Bai Yutang.
"I didn't touch her!" Su Jinjing shouted anxiously in order to survive, and had to defend himself clearly.
Su Yuan immediately agreed, "That's right, that's right, I fell by myself. That's fine, let's forget about it, don't make a fuss and let Mr. Bao know, it's useless to cause trouble for him."
After Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao heard this, they didn't feel that Su Jinjing was innocent at all, but looked at Su Jinjing even more unkindly.
Wang Chao and the others who came afterward looked even more menacing, glaring at Su Jinjing angrily, wishing to rip off his skin immediately.
Su Jinjing: "..."
This girl is so sinister, although she didn't tell lies to frame him, she was even more serious than she said.What he said seemed like she was wronged and asked for perfection, how could it not be misunderstood?Naturally, those people would complain about her.
It was precisely because she didn't tell lies that he couldn't justify anything at all!
Su Jinjing has lived to such an advanced age, and has never been so wronged and held his breath.
"Master Su, if you beat an official in Kaifeng's government, you don't need me to tell you what you will be charged with." Zhan Zhao warned Su Jinjing in a solemn tone.Although he was not as hostile as Bai Yutang at the moment, he was very displeased and not easy to provoke.
"I think some people rely on their own wealth and status, but the ghosts have made troubles, so they don't look at us officials. I think it's the king of heaven standing in front of him. I'm afraid they won't even You don't even blink!" Zhao Hu sneered.
"Hey, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother still worship the Heavenly King, if this person is not afraid of the Heavenly King, wouldn't he—"
When Su Jinjing heard these people continue talking, he was afraid that he would blame him for the rebellion, so he defended angrily.
"I really didn't hit her. I just wanted to wave and say hello to you."
But at this moment, Su Jinjing's mood was so angry that he really wanted to slap Su Yuan hard, this villain actually framed him like this!Su Jinjing couldn't control his temper, and couldn't help but glared at Su Yuan angrily, which happened to be caught by Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and others.
Su Jinjing: "..."
Now he was afraid that no matter what he said, these people would not believe it.
Bai Yutang pushed Xie Zhao, but also wanted to rush to Su Jinjing.
Su Yuan hurriedly blocked Bai Yutang's way, shook his head at him, begged him not to be impulsive, and explained to him, "It's my fault that he thought too much, thinking he wanted to hit me, so he ran away so he didn't stand still, but The fact of the matter is that he really didn't touch me."
Su Jinjing was really afraid of Bai Yutang, and took several steps back again.
"You all heard it. It was a misunderstanding. I really didn't touch her."
However, no one apologized to him, and all of them stared at him quietly. The eyes of these people looked at him with a kind of condemnation and contempt.
Su Jinjing was so angry that he couldn't express it, and now he didn't even dare to stare at Su Yuan casually, so he turned around in anger, and hurriedly left this Kaifeng mansion that made him feel bad and full of anger.
Su Jinjing came here in a carriage with Su Fangming, and now Su Fangming took Su Xi back first.He left a servant to tell Su Jinjing that someone else would send a carriage to pick him up.
But I don't know why it's so slow, the carriage hasn't arrived yet.Su Jinjing sent his servants to take a look, and he waited near the side gate of Kaifeng Mansion by himself.
When alone in meditation, Su Jinjing inevitably remembered the scene just now, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.He has been tactful for so many years, and he has always been calculating others, but today he was tricked by a little girl with the most low-level means, which made him so embarrassed in public.
Su Jin patted the dust on his body irritably, cursing secretly in his heart, he will definitely make that damn scoundrel look good from now on.
"Did you see it."
Suddenly the voice of the person he was thinking about came from behind his ears, Su Jinjing was taken aback, and for a moment thought that he was overthinking and hallucinating.
He turned his head and found that it was Su Yuan. He was even more surprised. When did she walk behind him?Could it be that he was thinking too seriously just now, so he didn't notice?
"If I really want to frame you, I have nothing to do with you now." Su Yuan continued.
"You—" Su Jinjing was furious, "You really did all that just now!"
Su Yuan looked back at Su Jinjing amusedly, "What am I pretending to be? Do you have any evidence? Or did I say a lie to frame you?"
Su Jinjing was even angrier, she didn't directly frame him with words, but what was the difference between her pitiful and wronged look just now and framing him!
"Master Su, why are you so angry? It's just such a measure? What is this matter? Compared to someone who listened to the order of the Taoist priest and insisted on killing his own daughter, and found out that his daughter was not dead after 17 years. And if you want to find your son and daughter and go back to compare the act of killing people, what is today's matter?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Su Jinjing couldn't wait to cover Su Yuan's 'inferences' with his roar.
"How can you judge your biological father with such malice? I don't understand. Why did I treat you badly and make you feel so malicious to me? Give you money, promise you wealth, and call your family They all came to pick you up and gave you enough face, but you didn't want to go back, and you turned around and framed my good intentions."
"In this world, there are really parents who are not as good as animals. They say high-sounding words, but they are cruel to their children." Su Yuan sighed.
"Without evidence and no evidence, random guesses and false accusations! If you do this again, don't blame me for suing Mr. Bao to punish you for the crime of framing you." Su Jinjing scolded angrily.
Su Yuan smiled slightly, and looked at Su Jinjing with clear eyes, but Su Jinjing couldn't avoid this look.
"Coincidentally, I want to give you this too."
Su Jinjing was startled, and finally understood the purpose of Su Yuan's troubles, all because of the words he casually accused Su Yuan of framing him before.This evil is too terrifying, just because of a word, it is like a poisonous lice biting him, and he can't get rid of it.
"Master Su, I think you probably misunderstood me a little before, thinking that I was easy to bully. Today I might as well warn you kindly, it's best not to provoke me, otherwise your little life won't be able to bear it."
After Su Yuan finished speaking, he gave Su Jinjing a smile, then turned around and left in a chic way.
Su Jinjing was shocked.He used to know that this scoundrel was a bit eloquent, but he thought that she was only good at talking about small things in the parents' house. He didn't expect that she would be so arrogant and domineering when she said harsh words, as if she was fearless about everything.
The most important thing is that this is not pretending, it exudes momentum from the inside out, which is very intimidating.Su Jin has read countless people, and she still has this judgment.
How can such a Su garden look like the "Miss Su of Kaifeng Mansion" that outsiders say?What kind of well-behaved, smart, kind, and lovable... He clearly looks like a viper and scorpion who regards human life as nothing!
Su Jinjing looked around, regretted that there was no one around at this time, and no one saw Su Yuan's true face.
As for his current relationship with Su Yuan, even if he tried to announce it to everyone, the people in Kaifeng Mansion would probably not believe it, but would think that he was maliciously framing Su Yuan.
Really angry!
The most uncomfortable thing is that there is no way to vent these qi, it can only be stagnated in his chest, which makes him feel chest tight even if he is taking a breath.
The carriage to pick him up finally arrived, Su Jinjing scolded the driver for coming too late.
The coachman felt very innocent, but he didn't dare to refute Su Jinjing, and drove back to Su's mansion honestly.
Su Jinjing's anger hadn't subsided yet, and when he returned home angrily, he called Su Fangming and scolded him for being unfilial, for actually bringing Su Xi home first, but he, the father, was left in Kaifeng Mansion.
"Is this your way of being a son? This is your filial piety? For so many years, I asked someone to teach you how to read and understand etiquette, and you read it into the stomach of a dog?"
"My younger sister is pregnant, she stayed up all night in fright, and I don't know how long Master Bao will keep my father."
Su Jinjing obviously suspected of venting his anger on Su Fangming, but Su Fangming's face was still flat, and he explained as usual without any impatience.
Later, when he saw that Su Jinjing wanted to open his mouth again, he saluted Su Jinjing and humbly asked for advice.
"This morning my son wanted to ride in a carriage alone, but the father refused to let him, saying that father and son should not have such a relationship, that they go to the same place but each rides in a carriage, and he taught his son to care about his family.
Seeing that his sister was in poor spirits, the son did what his father said and cared more about her, but now he was wrong again.Instead, ask my father to teach me what to do is right and what to do is wrong. "
"You—" Su Jinjing didn't know what to say, he was really sullen and hadn't finished venting it yet, and this added fuel to the fire and added a few more sulks.
He shouldn't have ignited this mild-tempered eldest son. The fire didn't go out and he didn't say anything, but burned on himself instead.
Thinking of Su Yuan again, Su Jinjing couldn't help complaining to Su Fangming: "We were all deceived by her! This evil person has a dark heart, you should be more on guard against her in the future! She actually tried to frame me today, and I almost broke because of her." In Kaifeng Mansion, that Bai Yutang almost killed me!"
"May I ask what happened to my father?" Su Fangming asked calmly.
Su Jinjing really regretted sending Su Fangming to the Taoist temple for too long at the moment, which made him lose the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of a normal person.Otherwise, at this moment, father and son should stand on the same side and share the same hatred.Instead of calmly asking passers-by for confessions like a yamen servant investigating a case in Kaifeng Prefecture.
Su Jinjing then told Su Fangming the details of what happened. Of course, his description was not objective, and his wording and sentences were directed towards himself.Just to show Su Fangming how dark and calculating Su Yuan's heart is, how sinister and vicious, so that Su Fangming can share the same hatred with him
"But she didn't accuse her father of beating her, otherwise my father would be in prison in Kaifeng Mansion." Su Fangming shaved off the flesh and blood that Su Jinjing exaggeratedly described, only grasped the most critical bones, and made a simple summary.
"She didn't dare! No guts!"
"If she didn't have the guts, she wouldn't treat her father like this, and even threaten her with words in the end." Su Fangming objectively rejected Su Jinjing's statement, and then said, "If she really wants to harm my father, if everyone believes it, she can do it completely." You can send your father to jail."
Su Fangming emphasized the irrationality again.
He didn't understand some words, but Su Jinjing heard it very clearly.Su Fangming should have realized that Su Yuan was the one he provoked first, so Su Yuan would fight back like this.Otherwise, it would seem strange to be inconsistent.
Su Jinjing gasped again. At this time, why does his elder son have to analyze so calmly and meticulously?Can't he think about nothing and just stand by his father's side without thinking?
"Okay, okay, go down." The words were not speculative.
Su Jinjing didn't want to see Su Fangming for the time being, it bothered him too much.
After Su Fangming came out of the main hall, he sent someone to inform shopkeeper Lou to prepare some delicious food for Su Yuan.
Maybe no one understands what Su Yuan did today, but he understands how well Su Yuan has worked hard.
One attracted all of Su Jinjing's anger on her, leaving Su Jinjing no time to chase and scold Su Xi.Second, she used small incidents as an example to warn Su Jinjing not to provoke her again, which was equivalent to helping him in disguise.
He once asked Su Yuan to give him a chance to "be filial to his father" before Su Jinjing committed any crimes, so that he could stop Su Jinjing from doing stupid things in time.
After today's incident, I believe that Su Jinjing must know that Su Yuan is not easy to provoke, and hope that he will stop here and stop provoking Su Yuan.
As for Su Yuan, when Su Jinjing treated her so maliciously, she was so willing to help him. Su Fangming was very grateful to her and appreciated it.
Now that the Su family is still headed by Su Jinjing, it is inconvenient for him to act on many things for the time being, but the Su family's business will eventually be in his hands.At that time, he will definitely give Su Yuan the best farmland shop, which the Su family owed her from the very beginning.
What the father doesn't give, he gives, and he wants to give more.
……
"Boss, you clearly had the opportunity to teach that Su Jinjing a lesson, why did you let him go?"
Sun He didn't understand that an evil father like Su Jinjing, who was born without raising him and was inferior to animals, should go to jail to learn some lessons, so that he can feel the danger in the prison cell.
"How long can I sit in jail? Besides, I don't have any redness or swelling on my body. Do you think it's so easy to convict? It's just to scare him, and to earn some money by the way." Su Yuan explained.
"Earn money? How did you make money? Where is the money?" Sun He was full of doubts and curiosity. He didn't understand how this matter could be related to making money.
"The old Su family is not good, but the next generation is good. I sold Su Fangming a favor, and he will thank me."
Su Yuan narrowed her eyes with a smile, feeling that as long as the Su family does not collapse in the future, she should have no worries about food and clothing.
Sun He still didn't understand, she scratched her head, but couldn't figure it out, how could this be considered as a favor to Su Fangming?Will Su Fangming really understand and accept her favor?
Sun He's doubts didn't last long before he got an answer.
At noon, Shopkeeper Lou of Xianren Building sent a lot of delicacies from the store in Yaoguang Building.This move was to avoid suspicion, lest anyone find out that Xianrenlou sent a large number of dishes to Kaifeng Mansion, and then spread it to Su Jinjing's ears.
Moreover, Yaoguanglou's dishes are indeed the best in the capital, and they are most in line with Su Yuan's tastes, so they should match what they like.In addition, there are also many special snacks from Zhouqiao, such as boneless goose palm.
Seeing the delicacies filled with three tables, Sun He sighed that Su Fangming was worthy of being the eldest son of the imperial merchant, and he made such a big deal when he made a move.These dishes are all top quality, all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas are not lacking, and there is actually a lot of beef.
One must know that beef is the rarest thing, she had deliberately gone to the county prince's mansion to beg for some beef.Look at how easy it is to make so many shots.
Sun He only wanted to smell the dishes on the table, and she was so happy that she was about to cry.
It's really nice to have a rich brother, she asked Su Yuan, "Can the little brother also recognize him as the big brother?"
"I didn't recognize him." Su Yuan corrected.
"The boss deserves to be the boss, you don't need to admit it." Sun He deeply felt the gap between people.
"Okay, hurry up and ask Mr. Bao to eat. This meal will be a celebration of the broken lamp ball case. It's rich enough, so I won't have to do it." Su Yuan said.
After a while, the courtyard became lively.
Delicious food is always something that pleases people, and everyone eats it very happily.The only regret is that because it is noon and I have to work in the afternoon, I can't drink.But the milk tea prepared by Su Yuan is also delicious.
Wang Chao and the others lamented that Su Yuan was their lucky star. With her around, they would be able to borrow everything, and they could taste all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas.
"Who would have thought that I've tasted all the dishes in Yaoguanglou in one meal! I'm afraid no one will believe me if I say it, and think I'm bragging." Ma Han said.
And after tasting the most exquisite delicacy in the world, when they go out to eat, no matter what kind of noble children they meet, they will not show timidity in eating.
Zhang Long immediately agreed, and told the story of how he had dinner with several officials' children through the recommendation of his friends two days ago.He was worried that he might be ashamed at the dinner table because of his pettiness.Unexpectedly, when everyone was discussing the dishes, he was the one who could tell the truth, and even attracted a round of applause.
"I didn't even know I was so knowledgeable!"
Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce smiled gratifiedly when they saw their excitement.
"That's great."
Bao Zheng sighed with interest, and suddenly saw Gongsun Ce put a golden-brown worm into the bowl for him.
"What is this?" Bao Zheng's complexion changed slightly, and his slightly widened eyes proved his surprise at the moment.
It was rare for Gongsun Ce to see Bao Zheng showing such a frightened expression, and the smile on his face was even warmer.
He explained to Bao Zheng politely: "If you fry the cicadas, you will know that they are crispy and delicious when you eat them."
"Don't eat." Bao Zheng refused.
"Could it be that adults are afraid to eat it? Do you think it looks ugly?"
Bao Zheng: "..."
Yes, but don't want to admit it.
Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng explained in detail the magical effect of this golden cicada, which not only protects the lungs and kidneys, prevents baldness, but also has curative effects on many diseases such as sore throat, hoarseness, convulsions in children, and crying at night.Although it is a worm, its body is full of treasures. ①
"Adults are busy with government affairs, and often stay up late to consume energy and energy. In addition, when they are old, they are prone to baldness, hair loss, spleen and kidney weakness; and every time the trial is over, the throat will be hoarse. Take this tonic, it is very effective."
What Gongsun Ce said was well-founded and sounded really good.But this Fried Cicada Monkey is not a decoction, after all, it is just a plate of unpalatable, even a little disgusting bugs.To eat it as a dish, Bao Zheng still wanted to refuse.
At this time, Gongsun Ce seemed to sigh unintentionally: "In the sixth year of Taiping Xingguo, Dongji was starved and starved all over the fields. The mountains and plains are full of desolation. There is not a mouse, and the people can't even eat the turf and tree roots. If there were golden cicadas at that time It’s edible, it’s heavenly delicacy.”
This may not sound like much to other people, so let it be.Bao Zheng was different. He always felt that an official should take care of the suffering of the people as his own responsibility. If an official does not understand the suffering of the people, he cannot be called a good official.
Now it's just eating a cicada, what is it compared to the sufferings of those people who were starving and freezing?Did the people have a choice at that time?If you don't like to eat grass roots and bark, don't you eat it?Of course not.
Once Bao Zheng got this kind of energy, no one could stop him, he picked up the cicada monkey and put it in his mouth without saying a word.
Seeing this, Gongsun Ce smiled and asked Bao Zheng how did he feel?
Click, click, click...
Ignore its appearance, only experience the feeling of the entrance, it is really a rare crispy fragrance!Crispy on the outside and crisp on the inside, there seems to be no fried food in the world that can match the aroma of it. In short, one bite is more addictive than cracking melon seeds.
After Bao Zheng ate six fried cicada monkeys in a row, seeing Gongsun Ce still looking at him with a smile, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been tricked.Master is really good at calculating!The fried cicada monkey is really delicious, so I don't care about it.
Because there are too many dishes, the dishes on each table are almost the same. When eating, everyone basically scrambles from table to table to choose what they like to eat.
Sun He caught a glimpse of Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun eating a dish together, and Mr. Bao kept chopsticks, so Sun He hurried over to join in the fun, but what did she see?A plate of worms!
"Hey, what is this?"
Sun He couldn't help exclaiming, which attracted everyone's onlookers.
Bao Zheng who was picking up the seventh fried cicada monkey: "..."
Suddenly I don't know where the chopsticks should be placed.
Su Yuan didn't pay attention to it before, but when he saw this dish, he was amazed that it was really good.
"Is this a dish?" Sun He half opened his mouth to express his surprise.
Su Yuan picked up a fried cicada monkey, and quickly stuffed it into Sun He's mouth.
Sun He stared round in surprise, wanting to spit out what was in his mouth.
"Look at you shouting loudly just now, attracting so many people's attention, are you embarrassed not to see Master Bao? Eat it." Su Yuan whispered to Sun He.
Based on her understanding of Sun He's taste, this fried cicada must be to her liking.
Sun He's facial features wrinkled together uncomfortably. Because of her boss's order, she closed her eyes and chewed hard twice.After finally feeling the taste in her mouth, she opened her eyes in surprise, and her eyes lit up when she looked at the fried cicada monkey again.
Listening to Mr. Gongsun talking about the healing effect of this golden cicada, Sun He ate even more happily.She immediately set aside a small dish and focused on tasting.
Whether this thing has medicinal properties is actually not important to her, as long as it is delicious, it is burnt and crispy. She is so addicted to eating that she can't control herself at all.
Everyone saw it and tasted it curiously.Really, this fried cicada monkey doesn't look very good, but it tastes very delicious, you really can't miss it.
Of course, there were those who couldn't bear it and didn't eat, such as Bai Yutang and Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu still felt very proud. Seeing that he had the same taste as the handsome and incomparable Fifth Master Bai, he suddenly felt as if he had become more handsome.
"Would Fifth Master want to try it?" Su Yuan asked Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang was silent for a moment, and said 'hmm'.
Zhao Hu: "???"
Su Yuan took three of them to Bai Yutang.
Zhao Hu began to struggle with his thoughts. Since everyone ate it, he was the only one who didn't eat it. How about he reluctantly tasted one?
Zhao Hu took a deep breath, made up his mind, picked up his chopsticks to pick it up, only to see an empty plate on the table was taken away.
What's the situation, it's over?Zhao Hu took a special look at it, the plate was clean, not even a cicada monkey's leg was left for him!
This world is too cruel, he just hesitated for a little while, just for a little while!
After all, Su Fangming invited everyone a very sumptuous meal, Su Yuan felt that it was necessary to express his gratitude and give him a gift in return.She baked some biscuits in the oven she built herself and made them into shapes of various animals.
When Sun He saw this biscuit, he liked it very much. It was crunchy, and it smelled like eggs and noodles. The most pleasing thing was the patterns.It is full of curiosity, wanting to explore each piece, obviously the taste is the same, but I just want to eat every pattern of biscuits.
Sun He: "Is the boss making this kind of biscuit for the children?"
"Thank you to Su Fangming."
Sun He was surprised, no matter what he thought, he felt that such a cold and calm person like Su Fangming was too unsuitable to eat such cute biscuits.And a person with his temperament would like this kind of thing?
"What if he doesn't like it?" Sun He expressed euphemistically. In fact, she wanted to persuade Su Yuan not to give this to Su Fangming, which seemed a bit inappropriate.
Su Yuan put the cooled biscuits into clay pots used to prevent moisture. She used this kind of pots to store roasted seeds and nuts such as dried fruits.
"I give him things not because of what he wants, but because of what I have. Anyway, he has money, so he can buy any kind of delicious food."
Sun He immediately praised: "Boss is domineering! Boss is right!"
Before sunset, Su Fangming saw shopkeeper Lou coming to him specially, and thought that there was some urgent matter in the shop that he needed to deal with, but he saw shopkeeper Lou specially holding a clay pot for him.
"What?" Su Fangming glanced coldly.
"Miss Su's return gift to the uncle."
When Su Fangming opened the sealed jar, shopkeeper Lou stared at it curiously, and even stretched his neck for it.
Su Fangming took out two strangely shaped pieces from the jar—small snacks?But this dim sum is a bit special, it is very thin, like the thickness of a cake, and it is so small that it doesn't look like a cake.
Looking closely at the patterns of the two pieces in his hand, a round face with a pig nose, one can guess that it is a pig, but it looks cuter than a real pig.The other is the shape of the rabbit body, which is also easy to distinguish.
Shopkeeper Lou hurriedly said: "By the way, when Miss Su gave the things to the villain, she explained that there were biscuits inside. But the villain didn't know what kind of biscuits they were, so he was quite curious, so it looks like this."
Su Fangming tasted a biscuit, it was crisp and sweet, it was quite special.Looking into the jar again, there are various patterns inside, almost not the same, but it arouses people's curiosity to guess one by one.
Shopkeeper Lou was lucky enough to taste a piece and said with emotion: "There are so many different styles, it can be seen that Miss Su's ingenuity is very careful when making it."
Su Fangming said 'hmm' and dismissed the noisy Shopkeeper Lou.
He fetched an empty plate, took a handful of biscuits out of the jar, sealed the rest, and ordered the servant to place the clay jar on the cedarwood stand.
The boy was surprised, but he obeyed obediently.But I have to say that the objects placed on this sandalwood shelf are all priceless items, and the cheapest price will not be less than 3000 taels.The earthen pottery pot that can be bought for a penny is among them, which is really quite conspicuous.
Every time Su Fangming saw a biscuit pattern, he ate one.
These biscuit patterns are actually simple, but full of childishness, which happened to be what he lacked in childhood.
Su Fangming's heart was unspeakably warm, and a smile gradually appeared on his indifferent face.
It would be great to have a sister like Su Yuan.
……
Su Yuan made another batch of biscuits in the shape of fonts and gave them to everyone, such as longevity, wealth and wealth, all the best and so on.
The biscuits are delicious and have a good meaning, everyone likes them very much.
Bao Zheng also deliberately left a biscuit with "insight into the details" and "magical calculations" to show off in front of other officials.Of course, his main purpose of doing this is not to show off himself, but to praise their "little heroine" in Kaifeng Mansion for being smart and capable.
"This bag of blacks likes to show off his capable subordinates! If you ask a villain, what's there to show off? There are many capable people in Tokyo, and there are no two talents in any yamen? It seems that they are the only ones in Kaifeng! "
Fuwang was the best at observing words and expressions, and found that Grand Master Pang was dissatisfied because of Bao Zheng's showing off, so he quickly taunted him.
"Skillful people come out in large numbers?" Taishi Pang asked Fuwang back, "Then why is there no capable person in the old man's house who can have such ingenuity? Every month's money is spent like running water, and so many people are raised, are they all waste? "
Fuwang immediately said that he would tell the cooks in the mansion to use their brains more and come up with new tricks.
Grand Master Pang snorted, "It must be better than Bao Zheng's."
"It must be better!" Fuwang immediately agreed.
Miss Su from Kaifeng mansion really wants to make some biscuits, and now it's done, making the whole Taishi mansion have no time to relax.
……
On the third day after Ding Sanlang was sentenced to forty sticks, Kaifeng Mansion tried and executed him.
The two servants from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rituals came to observe the sentence, so they wanted to see how the criminal who had treated the two of them like a monkey at the beginning was killed.
Judge Zhou, who had always disliked seeing blood, also came to witness the death of the person who wanted his life.
The dog's head guillotine was still sharp, and the knife was cut neatly. Ding Sanlang's body was separated in the blink of an eye, which was so fast that the two servants were still unsatisfied.
Jiang Shilang frowned in wonder, and said to the old judge Zhou: "Why do you feel that there is something missing?"
"Screaming, begging for mercy." Judge Zhou said.
"Oh, yes, this criminal who committed a major crime is really different. He is still tough, and he doesn't beg for mercy or scream when he is about to die?" Jiang Shilang exclaimed.
Elder Judge Zhou shook his head, "No, because he was tortured with a stick the day before yesterday, and his body was so weak that he couldn't speak. How could he shout? You didn't see the expression on his face before he died. You were standing there. You were so terrified. Nai He couldn't scream again, with a look of despair and regret, Nai He was too late!"
"Oh, this case is finally over. Thank you Kaifeng Mansion for solving the case in time and solving our Ministry of Rites' serious trouble." After Jiang Shilang thanked the old judge Zhou, he thanked Bao Zheng again and again.
Before leaving, he saw Su Yuan, praised Su Yuan quickly, and asked her: "Miss Su, have you ever thought about changing places to work? Compared with Kaifeng Mansion, our Ministry of Rites—"
"Cough!" Bao Zheng coughed heavily and glared at Jiang Shilang.
Elder Judge Zhou, Zhan Zhao and others in the room also looked at him with condemning eyes.This Jiang Shilang is really thick-skinned, just after thanking Kaifeng Mansion for his help, he blatantly poached people in Kaifeng Mansion.
Jiang Shilang looked at everyone innocently: "What's the matter? Everyone is robbing this talented man, and I didn't hide it. Everyone keeps them according to their ability."
The servant of the criminal department wanted to watch the fun, but when he heard that Jiang Shilang's words were reasonable, he quickly got involved and said to Su Yuan, "Why don't you come to our criminal department, Su is good at solving cases, come to our criminal department—"
"Chao Mahan, see off the guests!" Bao Zheng ordered in a sharp voice immediately.
Jiang Shilang and the Minister of Criminal Justice lamented that Bao Zheng was stingy, they just asked, knowing that it was impossible for Miss Su to go with them.
"However, under the Ministry of Rites, there is a food department, which is in charge of sacrificial vessels, wine food and storage of ice—"
Before Jiang Shilang finished speaking, he was gagged by old judge Zhou and pulled out directly.
It's impossible not to do this, this ginger fox actually learned about Su Yuan's preferences, and wanted to start with Su Yuan in terms of food.I'm afraid that although this girl has enough determination, but she is soft-spoken, she will really follow Jiang Shilang to the Ministry of Rites in order to eat and drink well.
Bao Zheng also solemnly confessed that everyone should pay close attention to Jiang Shilang's visits in the future.
Wang Chao and the others immediately agreed that they would definitely guard against Du Wei.
Su Yuan couldn't help but want to laugh, she was delicious, but she didn't want to be careless just to eat.If there are always these people in Kaifeng Mansion, she will not leave.For her, the most rare thing in this life is to find a group of friends she can trust and get along with warmly.
"It's a good thing the Ministry of Household Affairs didn't come, otherwise, are you planning to throw money at Miss Su?"
Everyone was half-joking and laughing for a short time, but they didn't expect to say "Cao Cao Cao Cao is here", and someone from the household department came to the door.
Chao Mahan quickly raised his vigilance: so evil?Has the Ministry of Finance really come to poach people?
After the small officials from the household department came in and explained the situation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that they were thinking too much.
The Ministry of Household Affairs has a case, whether it is big or small.
In the past month, the money supervisor of the household department has lost money one after another, each time the amount is not much, or two or three taels, or four or five taels.At first, the director of the Ministry of Gold did not treat this as a major issue, but only regarded it as some of the coin minters who were greedy for money and stole money, and strengthened the search and supervision.
But he didn't expect to find out anything, and no matter how he guarded against martial law, the money would still be lost every day.
It may not be a big deal to lose two or three taels of silver in one day, and it is not a big deal to lose it for ten days, but after many years, if this continues for a year, ten years and decades, the amount will be too huge.
"You have really carefully checked all the craftsmen and officials. Is it true that some of them secretly stole money and hid it? For example, hiding it in their hair or shoes."
"All these have been thought of and checked. All the artisans and officials of the Qianjian have to take off their clothes and check them from head to toe when they leave the Qianjian. leave.
It was so strict in the past, but after something happened, the investigation was even stricter, but the money would still be lost.
Therefore, our master suspects this living person, and it is unlikely that there will be a problem.Maybe something else went wrong, or is there really a ghost at work?In short, it is hard to find a solution, so I asked the Kaifeng Mansion to help clarify and thoroughly investigate the truth about the loss of money by the Qianjian. "
The small official of the household department explained in detail one by one.
Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce both heard some tricks.
"Why, your household department supervisor is still haunted by ghosts?"
"To tell you the truth, Mr. Bao, it's really quite violent."
"What are you doing!" Zhan Zhao was the first to question Su Jinjing.
Bai Yutang squatted down beside Su Yuan, intending to help her up.
Su Jinjing pointed at Su Yuan angrily, and explained: "It's her—"
Su Yuan suddenly raised his head, his almond eyes, which were originally clear and smiling, turned slightly red, and tears swirled in his eye sockets.With her petite figure, she shrunk her shoulders and looked at people with tears and aggrievedly. No one could help but feel distressed when they saw her.
Su Jinjing was stunned when he saw this scene, and Fang realized that Su Yuan was plotting against him.
After Bai Yutang helped Su Yuan up, he grabbed the knife in his hand, and suddenly looked away from Su Yuan, looking at Su Jinjing.Those eyes were gloomy and frightening, like a jade-faced life-seeking ghost from hell, full of murderous aura, and went straight to Su Jinjing.
Before Su Jinjing could explain that it was Su Yuan's frame-up, he was suddenly frightened by Bai Yutang's murderous aura, and took several steps back.
"What do you want!"
"It's not me—" When he was talking anxiously, Bai Yutang looked at him with even colder eyes, as if he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
This made Su Jinjing take a few steps back in fright, but he staggered and fell to the ground.Seeing that Bai Yutang was going to let him go and came towards him quickly, his legs began to tremble in anxiety, and he couldn't even stand up.
Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Zhan Zhao hurriedly stopped Bai Yutang.
"I didn't touch her!" Su Jinjing shouted anxiously in order to survive, and had to defend himself clearly.
Su Yuan immediately agreed, "That's right, that's right, I fell by myself. That's fine, let's forget about it, don't make a fuss and let Mr. Bao know, it's useless to cause trouble for him."
After Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao heard this, they didn't feel that Su Jinjing was innocent at all, but looked at Su Jinjing even more unkindly.
Wang Chao and the others who came afterward looked even more menacing, glaring at Su Jinjing angrily, wishing to rip off his skin immediately.
Su Jinjing: "..."
This girl is so sinister, although she didn't tell lies to frame him, she was even more serious than she said.What he said seemed like she was wronged and asked for perfection, how could it not be misunderstood?Naturally, those people would complain about her.
It was precisely because she didn't tell lies that he couldn't justify anything at all!
Su Jinjing has lived to such an advanced age, and has never been so wronged and held his breath.
"Master Su, if you beat an official in Kaifeng's government, you don't need me to tell you what you will be charged with." Zhan Zhao warned Su Jinjing in a solemn tone.Although he was not as hostile as Bai Yutang at the moment, he was very displeased and not easy to provoke.
"I think some people rely on their own wealth and status, but the ghosts have made troubles, so they don't look at us officials. I think it's the king of heaven standing in front of him. I'm afraid they won't even You don't even blink!" Zhao Hu sneered.
"Hey, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother still worship the Heavenly King, if this person is not afraid of the Heavenly King, wouldn't he—"
When Su Jinjing heard these people continue talking, he was afraid that he would blame him for the rebellion, so he defended angrily.
"I really didn't hit her. I just wanted to wave and say hello to you."
But at this moment, Su Jinjing's mood was so angry that he really wanted to slap Su Yuan hard, this villain actually framed him like this!Su Jinjing couldn't control his temper, and couldn't help but glared at Su Yuan angrily, which happened to be caught by Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and others.
Su Jinjing: "..."
Now he was afraid that no matter what he said, these people would not believe it.
Bai Yutang pushed Xie Zhao, but also wanted to rush to Su Jinjing.
Su Yuan hurriedly blocked Bai Yutang's way, shook his head at him, begged him not to be impulsive, and explained to him, "It's my fault that he thought too much, thinking he wanted to hit me, so he ran away so he didn't stand still, but The fact of the matter is that he really didn't touch me."
Su Jinjing was really afraid of Bai Yutang, and took several steps back again.
"You all heard it. It was a misunderstanding. I really didn't touch her."
However, no one apologized to him, and all of them stared at him quietly. The eyes of these people looked at him with a kind of condemnation and contempt.
Su Jinjing was so angry that he couldn't express it, and now he didn't even dare to stare at Su Yuan casually, so he turned around in anger, and hurriedly left this Kaifeng mansion that made him feel bad and full of anger.
Su Jinjing came here in a carriage with Su Fangming, and now Su Fangming took Su Xi back first.He left a servant to tell Su Jinjing that someone else would send a carriage to pick him up.
But I don't know why it's so slow, the carriage hasn't arrived yet.Su Jinjing sent his servants to take a look, and he waited near the side gate of Kaifeng Mansion by himself.
When alone in meditation, Su Jinjing inevitably remembered the scene just now, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.He has been tactful for so many years, and he has always been calculating others, but today he was tricked by a little girl with the most low-level means, which made him so embarrassed in public.
Su Jin patted the dust on his body irritably, cursing secretly in his heart, he will definitely make that damn scoundrel look good from now on.
"Did you see it."
Suddenly the voice of the person he was thinking about came from behind his ears, Su Jinjing was taken aback, and for a moment thought that he was overthinking and hallucinating.
He turned his head and found that it was Su Yuan. He was even more surprised. When did she walk behind him?Could it be that he was thinking too seriously just now, so he didn't notice?
"If I really want to frame you, I have nothing to do with you now." Su Yuan continued.
"You—" Su Jinjing was furious, "You really did all that just now!"
Su Yuan looked back at Su Jinjing amusedly, "What am I pretending to be? Do you have any evidence? Or did I say a lie to frame you?"
Su Jinjing was even angrier, she didn't directly frame him with words, but what was the difference between her pitiful and wronged look just now and framing him!
"Master Su, why are you so angry? It's just such a measure? What is this matter? Compared to someone who listened to the order of the Taoist priest and insisted on killing his own daughter, and found out that his daughter was not dead after 17 years. And if you want to find your son and daughter and go back to compare the act of killing people, what is today's matter?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Su Jinjing couldn't wait to cover Su Yuan's 'inferences' with his roar.
"How can you judge your biological father with such malice? I don't understand. Why did I treat you badly and make you feel so malicious to me? Give you money, promise you wealth, and call your family They all came to pick you up and gave you enough face, but you didn't want to go back, and you turned around and framed my good intentions."
"In this world, there are really parents who are not as good as animals. They say high-sounding words, but they are cruel to their children." Su Yuan sighed.
"Without evidence and no evidence, random guesses and false accusations! If you do this again, don't blame me for suing Mr. Bao to punish you for the crime of framing you." Su Jinjing scolded angrily.
Su Yuan smiled slightly, and looked at Su Jinjing with clear eyes, but Su Jinjing couldn't avoid this look.
"Coincidentally, I want to give you this too."
Su Jinjing was startled, and finally understood the purpose of Su Yuan's troubles, all because of the words he casually accused Su Yuan of framing him before.This evil is too terrifying, just because of a word, it is like a poisonous lice biting him, and he can't get rid of it.
"Master Su, I think you probably misunderstood me a little before, thinking that I was easy to bully. Today I might as well warn you kindly, it's best not to provoke me, otherwise your little life won't be able to bear it."
After Su Yuan finished speaking, he gave Su Jinjing a smile, then turned around and left in a chic way.
Su Jinjing was shocked.He used to know that this scoundrel was a bit eloquent, but he thought that she was only good at talking about small things in the parents' house. He didn't expect that she would be so arrogant and domineering when she said harsh words, as if she was fearless about everything.
The most important thing is that this is not pretending, it exudes momentum from the inside out, which is very intimidating.Su Jin has read countless people, and she still has this judgment.
How can such a Su garden look like the "Miss Su of Kaifeng Mansion" that outsiders say?What kind of well-behaved, smart, kind, and lovable... He clearly looks like a viper and scorpion who regards human life as nothing!
Su Jinjing looked around, regretted that there was no one around at this time, and no one saw Su Yuan's true face.
As for his current relationship with Su Yuan, even if he tried to announce it to everyone, the people in Kaifeng Mansion would probably not believe it, but would think that he was maliciously framing Su Yuan.
Really angry!
The most uncomfortable thing is that there is no way to vent these qi, it can only be stagnated in his chest, which makes him feel chest tight even if he is taking a breath.
The carriage to pick him up finally arrived, Su Jinjing scolded the driver for coming too late.
The coachman felt very innocent, but he didn't dare to refute Su Jinjing, and drove back to Su's mansion honestly.
Su Jinjing's anger hadn't subsided yet, and when he returned home angrily, he called Su Fangming and scolded him for being unfilial, for actually bringing Su Xi home first, but he, the father, was left in Kaifeng Mansion.
"Is this your way of being a son? This is your filial piety? For so many years, I asked someone to teach you how to read and understand etiquette, and you read it into the stomach of a dog?"
"My younger sister is pregnant, she stayed up all night in fright, and I don't know how long Master Bao will keep my father."
Su Jinjing obviously suspected of venting his anger on Su Fangming, but Su Fangming's face was still flat, and he explained as usual without any impatience.
Later, when he saw that Su Jinjing wanted to open his mouth again, he saluted Su Jinjing and humbly asked for advice.
"This morning my son wanted to ride in a carriage alone, but the father refused to let him, saying that father and son should not have such a relationship, that they go to the same place but each rides in a carriage, and he taught his son to care about his family.
Seeing that his sister was in poor spirits, the son did what his father said and cared more about her, but now he was wrong again.Instead, ask my father to teach me what to do is right and what to do is wrong. "
"You—" Su Jinjing didn't know what to say, he was really sullen and hadn't finished venting it yet, and this added fuel to the fire and added a few more sulks.
He shouldn't have ignited this mild-tempered eldest son. The fire didn't go out and he didn't say anything, but burned on himself instead.
Thinking of Su Yuan again, Su Jinjing couldn't help complaining to Su Fangming: "We were all deceived by her! This evil person has a dark heart, you should be more on guard against her in the future! She actually tried to frame me today, and I almost broke because of her." In Kaifeng Mansion, that Bai Yutang almost killed me!"
"May I ask what happened to my father?" Su Fangming asked calmly.
Su Jinjing really regretted sending Su Fangming to the Taoist temple for too long at the moment, which made him lose the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of a normal person.Otherwise, at this moment, father and son should stand on the same side and share the same hatred.Instead of calmly asking passers-by for confessions like a yamen servant investigating a case in Kaifeng Prefecture.
Su Jinjing then told Su Fangming the details of what happened. Of course, his description was not objective, and his wording and sentences were directed towards himself.Just to show Su Fangming how dark and calculating Su Yuan's heart is, how sinister and vicious, so that Su Fangming can share the same hatred with him
"But she didn't accuse her father of beating her, otherwise my father would be in prison in Kaifeng Mansion." Su Fangming shaved off the flesh and blood that Su Jinjing exaggeratedly described, only grasped the most critical bones, and made a simple summary.
"She didn't dare! No guts!"
"If she didn't have the guts, she wouldn't treat her father like this, and even threaten her with words in the end." Su Fangming objectively rejected Su Jinjing's statement, and then said, "If she really wants to harm my father, if everyone believes it, she can do it completely." You can send your father to jail."
Su Fangming emphasized the irrationality again.
He didn't understand some words, but Su Jinjing heard it very clearly.Su Fangming should have realized that Su Yuan was the one he provoked first, so Su Yuan would fight back like this.Otherwise, it would seem strange to be inconsistent.
Su Jinjing gasped again. At this time, why does his elder son have to analyze so calmly and meticulously?Can't he think about nothing and just stand by his father's side without thinking?
"Okay, okay, go down." The words were not speculative.
Su Jinjing didn't want to see Su Fangming for the time being, it bothered him too much.
After Su Fangming came out of the main hall, he sent someone to inform shopkeeper Lou to prepare some delicious food for Su Yuan.
Maybe no one understands what Su Yuan did today, but he understands how well Su Yuan has worked hard.
One attracted all of Su Jinjing's anger on her, leaving Su Jinjing no time to chase and scold Su Xi.Second, she used small incidents as an example to warn Su Jinjing not to provoke her again, which was equivalent to helping him in disguise.
He once asked Su Yuan to give him a chance to "be filial to his father" before Su Jinjing committed any crimes, so that he could stop Su Jinjing from doing stupid things in time.
After today's incident, I believe that Su Jinjing must know that Su Yuan is not easy to provoke, and hope that he will stop here and stop provoking Su Yuan.
As for Su Yuan, when Su Jinjing treated her so maliciously, she was so willing to help him. Su Fangming was very grateful to her and appreciated it.
Now that the Su family is still headed by Su Jinjing, it is inconvenient for him to act on many things for the time being, but the Su family's business will eventually be in his hands.At that time, he will definitely give Su Yuan the best farmland shop, which the Su family owed her from the very beginning.
What the father doesn't give, he gives, and he wants to give more.
……
"Boss, you clearly had the opportunity to teach that Su Jinjing a lesson, why did you let him go?"
Sun He didn't understand that an evil father like Su Jinjing, who was born without raising him and was inferior to animals, should go to jail to learn some lessons, so that he can feel the danger in the prison cell.
"How long can I sit in jail? Besides, I don't have any redness or swelling on my body. Do you think it's so easy to convict? It's just to scare him, and to earn some money by the way." Su Yuan explained.
"Earn money? How did you make money? Where is the money?" Sun He was full of doubts and curiosity. He didn't understand how this matter could be related to making money.
"The old Su family is not good, but the next generation is good. I sold Su Fangming a favor, and he will thank me."
Su Yuan narrowed her eyes with a smile, feeling that as long as the Su family does not collapse in the future, she should have no worries about food and clothing.
Sun He still didn't understand, she scratched her head, but couldn't figure it out, how could this be considered as a favor to Su Fangming?Will Su Fangming really understand and accept her favor?
Sun He's doubts didn't last long before he got an answer.
At noon, Shopkeeper Lou of Xianren Building sent a lot of delicacies from the store in Yaoguang Building.This move was to avoid suspicion, lest anyone find out that Xianrenlou sent a large number of dishes to Kaifeng Mansion, and then spread it to Su Jinjing's ears.
Moreover, Yaoguanglou's dishes are indeed the best in the capital, and they are most in line with Su Yuan's tastes, so they should match what they like.In addition, there are also many special snacks from Zhouqiao, such as boneless goose palm.
Seeing the delicacies filled with three tables, Sun He sighed that Su Fangming was worthy of being the eldest son of the imperial merchant, and he made such a big deal when he made a move.These dishes are all top quality, all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas are not lacking, and there is actually a lot of beef.
One must know that beef is the rarest thing, she had deliberately gone to the county prince's mansion to beg for some beef.Look at how easy it is to make so many shots.
Sun He only wanted to smell the dishes on the table, and she was so happy that she was about to cry.
It's really nice to have a rich brother, she asked Su Yuan, "Can the little brother also recognize him as the big brother?"
"I didn't recognize him." Su Yuan corrected.
"The boss deserves to be the boss, you don't need to admit it." Sun He deeply felt the gap between people.
"Okay, hurry up and ask Mr. Bao to eat. This meal will be a celebration of the broken lamp ball case. It's rich enough, so I won't have to do it." Su Yuan said.
After a while, the courtyard became lively.
Delicious food is always something that pleases people, and everyone eats it very happily.The only regret is that because it is noon and I have to work in the afternoon, I can't drink.But the milk tea prepared by Su Yuan is also delicious.
Wang Chao and the others lamented that Su Yuan was their lucky star. With her around, they would be able to borrow everything, and they could taste all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas.
"Who would have thought that I've tasted all the dishes in Yaoguanglou in one meal! I'm afraid no one will believe me if I say it, and think I'm bragging." Ma Han said.
And after tasting the most exquisite delicacy in the world, when they go out to eat, no matter what kind of noble children they meet, they will not show timidity in eating.
Zhang Long immediately agreed, and told the story of how he had dinner with several officials' children through the recommendation of his friends two days ago.He was worried that he might be ashamed at the dinner table because of his pettiness.Unexpectedly, when everyone was discussing the dishes, he was the one who could tell the truth, and even attracted a round of applause.
"I didn't even know I was so knowledgeable!"
Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce smiled gratifiedly when they saw their excitement.
"That's great."
Bao Zheng sighed with interest, and suddenly saw Gongsun Ce put a golden-brown worm into the bowl for him.
"What is this?" Bao Zheng's complexion changed slightly, and his slightly widened eyes proved his surprise at the moment.
It was rare for Gongsun Ce to see Bao Zheng showing such a frightened expression, and the smile on his face was even warmer.
He explained to Bao Zheng politely: "If you fry the cicadas, you will know that they are crispy and delicious when you eat them."
"Don't eat." Bao Zheng refused.
"Could it be that adults are afraid to eat it? Do you think it looks ugly?"
Bao Zheng: "..."
Yes, but don't want to admit it.
Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng explained in detail the magical effect of this golden cicada, which not only protects the lungs and kidneys, prevents baldness, but also has curative effects on many diseases such as sore throat, hoarseness, convulsions in children, and crying at night.Although it is a worm, its body is full of treasures. ①
"Adults are busy with government affairs, and often stay up late to consume energy and energy. In addition, when they are old, they are prone to baldness, hair loss, spleen and kidney weakness; and every time the trial is over, the throat will be hoarse. Take this tonic, it is very effective."
What Gongsun Ce said was well-founded and sounded really good.But this Fried Cicada Monkey is not a decoction, after all, it is just a plate of unpalatable, even a little disgusting bugs.To eat it as a dish, Bao Zheng still wanted to refuse.
At this time, Gongsun Ce seemed to sigh unintentionally: "In the sixth year of Taiping Xingguo, Dongji was starved and starved all over the fields. The mountains and plains are full of desolation. There is not a mouse, and the people can't even eat the turf and tree roots. If there were golden cicadas at that time It’s edible, it’s heavenly delicacy.”
This may not sound like much to other people, so let it be.Bao Zheng was different. He always felt that an official should take care of the suffering of the people as his own responsibility. If an official does not understand the suffering of the people, he cannot be called a good official.
Now it's just eating a cicada, what is it compared to the sufferings of those people who were starving and freezing?Did the people have a choice at that time?If you don't like to eat grass roots and bark, don't you eat it?Of course not.
Once Bao Zheng got this kind of energy, no one could stop him, he picked up the cicada monkey and put it in his mouth without saying a word.
Seeing this, Gongsun Ce smiled and asked Bao Zheng how did he feel?
Click, click, click...
Ignore its appearance, only experience the feeling of the entrance, it is really a rare crispy fragrance!Crispy on the outside and crisp on the inside, there seems to be no fried food in the world that can match the aroma of it. In short, one bite is more addictive than cracking melon seeds.
After Bao Zheng ate six fried cicada monkeys in a row, seeing Gongsun Ce still looking at him with a smile, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been tricked.Master is really good at calculating!The fried cicada monkey is really delicious, so I don't care about it.
Because there are too many dishes, the dishes on each table are almost the same. When eating, everyone basically scrambles from table to table to choose what they like to eat.
Sun He caught a glimpse of Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun eating a dish together, and Mr. Bao kept chopsticks, so Sun He hurried over to join in the fun, but what did she see?A plate of worms!
"Hey, what is this?"
Sun He couldn't help exclaiming, which attracted everyone's onlookers.
Bao Zheng who was picking up the seventh fried cicada monkey: "..."
Suddenly I don't know where the chopsticks should be placed.
Su Yuan didn't pay attention to it before, but when he saw this dish, he was amazed that it was really good.
"Is this a dish?" Sun He half opened his mouth to express his surprise.
Su Yuan picked up a fried cicada monkey, and quickly stuffed it into Sun He's mouth.
Sun He stared round in surprise, wanting to spit out what was in his mouth.
"Look at you shouting loudly just now, attracting so many people's attention, are you embarrassed not to see Master Bao? Eat it." Su Yuan whispered to Sun He.
Based on her understanding of Sun He's taste, this fried cicada must be to her liking.
Sun He's facial features wrinkled together uncomfortably. Because of her boss's order, she closed her eyes and chewed hard twice.After finally feeling the taste in her mouth, she opened her eyes in surprise, and her eyes lit up when she looked at the fried cicada monkey again.
Listening to Mr. Gongsun talking about the healing effect of this golden cicada, Sun He ate even more happily.She immediately set aside a small dish and focused on tasting.
Whether this thing has medicinal properties is actually not important to her, as long as it is delicious, it is burnt and crispy. She is so addicted to eating that she can't control herself at all.
Everyone saw it and tasted it curiously.Really, this fried cicada monkey doesn't look very good, but it tastes very delicious, you really can't miss it.
Of course, there were those who couldn't bear it and didn't eat, such as Bai Yutang and Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu still felt very proud. Seeing that he had the same taste as the handsome and incomparable Fifth Master Bai, he suddenly felt as if he had become more handsome.
"Would Fifth Master want to try it?" Su Yuan asked Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang was silent for a moment, and said 'hmm'.
Zhao Hu: "???"
Su Yuan took three of them to Bai Yutang.
Zhao Hu began to struggle with his thoughts. Since everyone ate it, he was the only one who didn't eat it. How about he reluctantly tasted one?
Zhao Hu took a deep breath, made up his mind, picked up his chopsticks to pick it up, only to see an empty plate on the table was taken away.
What's the situation, it's over?Zhao Hu took a special look at it, the plate was clean, not even a cicada monkey's leg was left for him!
This world is too cruel, he just hesitated for a little while, just for a little while!
After all, Su Fangming invited everyone a very sumptuous meal, Su Yuan felt that it was necessary to express his gratitude and give him a gift in return.She baked some biscuits in the oven she built herself and made them into shapes of various animals.
When Sun He saw this biscuit, he liked it very much. It was crunchy, and it smelled like eggs and noodles. The most pleasing thing was the patterns.It is full of curiosity, wanting to explore each piece, obviously the taste is the same, but I just want to eat every pattern of biscuits.
Sun He: "Is the boss making this kind of biscuit for the children?"
"Thank you to Su Fangming."
Sun He was surprised, no matter what he thought, he felt that such a cold and calm person like Su Fangming was too unsuitable to eat such cute biscuits.And a person with his temperament would like this kind of thing?
"What if he doesn't like it?" Sun He expressed euphemistically. In fact, she wanted to persuade Su Yuan not to give this to Su Fangming, which seemed a bit inappropriate.
Su Yuan put the cooled biscuits into clay pots used to prevent moisture. She used this kind of pots to store roasted seeds and nuts such as dried fruits.
"I give him things not because of what he wants, but because of what I have. Anyway, he has money, so he can buy any kind of delicious food."
Sun He immediately praised: "Boss is domineering! Boss is right!"
Before sunset, Su Fangming saw shopkeeper Lou coming to him specially, and thought that there was some urgent matter in the shop that he needed to deal with, but he saw shopkeeper Lou specially holding a clay pot for him.
"What?" Su Fangming glanced coldly.
"Miss Su's return gift to the uncle."
When Su Fangming opened the sealed jar, shopkeeper Lou stared at it curiously, and even stretched his neck for it.
Su Fangming took out two strangely shaped pieces from the jar—small snacks?But this dim sum is a bit special, it is very thin, like the thickness of a cake, and it is so small that it doesn't look like a cake.
Looking closely at the patterns of the two pieces in his hand, a round face with a pig nose, one can guess that it is a pig, but it looks cuter than a real pig.The other is the shape of the rabbit body, which is also easy to distinguish.
Shopkeeper Lou hurriedly said: "By the way, when Miss Su gave the things to the villain, she explained that there were biscuits inside. But the villain didn't know what kind of biscuits they were, so he was quite curious, so it looks like this."
Su Fangming tasted a biscuit, it was crisp and sweet, it was quite special.Looking into the jar again, there are various patterns inside, almost not the same, but it arouses people's curiosity to guess one by one.
Shopkeeper Lou was lucky enough to taste a piece and said with emotion: "There are so many different styles, it can be seen that Miss Su's ingenuity is very careful when making it."
Su Fangming said 'hmm' and dismissed the noisy Shopkeeper Lou.
He fetched an empty plate, took a handful of biscuits out of the jar, sealed the rest, and ordered the servant to place the clay jar on the cedarwood stand.
The boy was surprised, but he obeyed obediently.But I have to say that the objects placed on this sandalwood shelf are all priceless items, and the cheapest price will not be less than 3000 taels.The earthen pottery pot that can be bought for a penny is among them, which is really quite conspicuous.
Every time Su Fangming saw a biscuit pattern, he ate one.
These biscuit patterns are actually simple, but full of childishness, which happened to be what he lacked in childhood.
Su Fangming's heart was unspeakably warm, and a smile gradually appeared on his indifferent face.
It would be great to have a sister like Su Yuan.
……
Su Yuan made another batch of biscuits in the shape of fonts and gave them to everyone, such as longevity, wealth and wealth, all the best and so on.
The biscuits are delicious and have a good meaning, everyone likes them very much.
Bao Zheng also deliberately left a biscuit with "insight into the details" and "magical calculations" to show off in front of other officials.Of course, his main purpose of doing this is not to show off himself, but to praise their "little heroine" in Kaifeng Mansion for being smart and capable.
"This bag of blacks likes to show off his capable subordinates! If you ask a villain, what's there to show off? There are many capable people in Tokyo, and there are no two talents in any yamen? It seems that they are the only ones in Kaifeng! "
Fuwang was the best at observing words and expressions, and found that Grand Master Pang was dissatisfied because of Bao Zheng's showing off, so he quickly taunted him.
"Skillful people come out in large numbers?" Taishi Pang asked Fuwang back, "Then why is there no capable person in the old man's house who can have such ingenuity? Every month's money is spent like running water, and so many people are raised, are they all waste? "
Fuwang immediately said that he would tell the cooks in the mansion to use their brains more and come up with new tricks.
Grand Master Pang snorted, "It must be better than Bao Zheng's."
"It must be better!" Fuwang immediately agreed.
Miss Su from Kaifeng mansion really wants to make some biscuits, and now it's done, making the whole Taishi mansion have no time to relax.
……
On the third day after Ding Sanlang was sentenced to forty sticks, Kaifeng Mansion tried and executed him.
The two servants from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rituals came to observe the sentence, so they wanted to see how the criminal who had treated the two of them like a monkey at the beginning was killed.
Judge Zhou, who had always disliked seeing blood, also came to witness the death of the person who wanted his life.
The dog's head guillotine was still sharp, and the knife was cut neatly. Ding Sanlang's body was separated in the blink of an eye, which was so fast that the two servants were still unsatisfied.
Jiang Shilang frowned in wonder, and said to the old judge Zhou: "Why do you feel that there is something missing?"
"Screaming, begging for mercy." Judge Zhou said.
"Oh, yes, this criminal who committed a major crime is really different. He is still tough, and he doesn't beg for mercy or scream when he is about to die?" Jiang Shilang exclaimed.
Elder Judge Zhou shook his head, "No, because he was tortured with a stick the day before yesterday, and his body was so weak that he couldn't speak. How could he shout? You didn't see the expression on his face before he died. You were standing there. You were so terrified. Nai He couldn't scream again, with a look of despair and regret, Nai He was too late!"
"Oh, this case is finally over. Thank you Kaifeng Mansion for solving the case in time and solving our Ministry of Rites' serious trouble." After Jiang Shilang thanked the old judge Zhou, he thanked Bao Zheng again and again.
Before leaving, he saw Su Yuan, praised Su Yuan quickly, and asked her: "Miss Su, have you ever thought about changing places to work? Compared with Kaifeng Mansion, our Ministry of Rites—"
"Cough!" Bao Zheng coughed heavily and glared at Jiang Shilang.
Elder Judge Zhou, Zhan Zhao and others in the room also looked at him with condemning eyes.This Jiang Shilang is really thick-skinned, just after thanking Kaifeng Mansion for his help, he blatantly poached people in Kaifeng Mansion.
Jiang Shilang looked at everyone innocently: "What's the matter? Everyone is robbing this talented man, and I didn't hide it. Everyone keeps them according to their ability."
The servant of the criminal department wanted to watch the fun, but when he heard that Jiang Shilang's words were reasonable, he quickly got involved and said to Su Yuan, "Why don't you come to our criminal department, Su is good at solving cases, come to our criminal department—"
"Chao Mahan, see off the guests!" Bao Zheng ordered in a sharp voice immediately.
Jiang Shilang and the Minister of Criminal Justice lamented that Bao Zheng was stingy, they just asked, knowing that it was impossible for Miss Su to go with them.
"However, under the Ministry of Rites, there is a food department, which is in charge of sacrificial vessels, wine food and storage of ice—"
Before Jiang Shilang finished speaking, he was gagged by old judge Zhou and pulled out directly.
It's impossible not to do this, this ginger fox actually learned about Su Yuan's preferences, and wanted to start with Su Yuan in terms of food.I'm afraid that although this girl has enough determination, but she is soft-spoken, she will really follow Jiang Shilang to the Ministry of Rites in order to eat and drink well.
Bao Zheng also solemnly confessed that everyone should pay close attention to Jiang Shilang's visits in the future.
Wang Chao and the others immediately agreed that they would definitely guard against Du Wei.
Su Yuan couldn't help but want to laugh, she was delicious, but she didn't want to be careless just to eat.If there are always these people in Kaifeng Mansion, she will not leave.For her, the most rare thing in this life is to find a group of friends she can trust and get along with warmly.
"It's a good thing the Ministry of Household Affairs didn't come, otherwise, are you planning to throw money at Miss Su?"
Everyone was half-joking and laughing for a short time, but they didn't expect to say "Cao Cao Cao Cao is here", and someone from the household department came to the door.
Chao Mahan quickly raised his vigilance: so evil?Has the Ministry of Finance really come to poach people?
After the small officials from the household department came in and explained the situation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that they were thinking too much.
The Ministry of Household Affairs has a case, whether it is big or small.
In the past month, the money supervisor of the household department has lost money one after another, each time the amount is not much, or two or three taels, or four or five taels.At first, the director of the Ministry of Gold did not treat this as a major issue, but only regarded it as some of the coin minters who were greedy for money and stole money, and strengthened the search and supervision.
But he didn't expect to find out anything, and no matter how he guarded against martial law, the money would still be lost every day.
It may not be a big deal to lose two or three taels of silver in one day, and it is not a big deal to lose it for ten days, but after many years, if this continues for a year, ten years and decades, the amount will be too huge.
"You have really carefully checked all the craftsmen and officials. Is it true that some of them secretly stole money and hid it? For example, hiding it in their hair or shoes."
"All these have been thought of and checked. All the artisans and officials of the Qianjian have to take off their clothes and check them from head to toe when they leave the Qianjian. leave.
It was so strict in the past, but after something happened, the investigation was even stricter, but the money would still be lost.
Therefore, our master suspects this living person, and it is unlikely that there will be a problem.Maybe something else went wrong, or is there really a ghost at work?In short, it is hard to find a solution, so I asked the Kaifeng Mansion to help clarify and thoroughly investigate the truth about the loss of money by the Qianjian. "
The small official of the household department explained in detail one by one.
Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce both heard some tricks.
"Why, your household department supervisor is still haunted by ghosts?"
"To tell you the truth, Mr. Bao, it's really quite violent."
