Tongzhuang Shili Rice Flower Fragrance

Yu Fei has always been gentle and calm, but when she met Zhang Zhen, she couldn't keep calm. Ye Qiuniang entered the room, seeing them like this, and thinking about being helped by Shui Yao when she just returned to the store. Pulling aside and talking about the situation, I already had a guess in my heart.

She has always had a clear goal. To find out the truth about the death of the old man Ming and avenge her is a lifelong task. It is not only a reward for the old man's kindness, but also what she will do as the guardian of Ming Rou. The taxi needs strategy, it would be fine if the woman in front of her has the same purpose as them, if she is with other people, then she must find a way to prevent her from succeeding.

Yu Fei felt a little depressed. She thought she had already escaped a long way, but she caught up with her not too long ago. It wasn't that she underestimated Zhang Zhen's ability, but that the other party came to her too quickly, and Zhang Zhen The two of them, Fu Shuiyao and Fu Shuiyao, looked at the same situation, one was a new friend, and the other was...

I couldn't help sighing, I felt that I was too excited today, and now I have started a new life with a new identity. Here I am, the shopkeeper of the store, bringing my personal emotions and affairs to work, in front of the hirer It really shouldn't be, thinking in his heart, he also stood up and said to Mingrou and Ye Qiuniang, "It's nothing serious, but I had a little awkwardness with my old friend, which made the two bosses laugh, Yu Faey will take care of it now, so as not to delay things in the shop."

Zhang Zhen looked at Yu Fei who was the first to break the silence in front of her. Although there was no expression on her face, turbulent waves had already set off in her heart. You must know that when she was still in the capital, at the beginning, even though she was a high-ranking official, Yu Fei Faey didn't take a second look at herself because of this, let alone speak so humbly as she is now.

Zhang Zhen's temper came and went quickly, she stood up and said: "I was the one who was rude today, I came here uninvited, the store still has business, so don't bother me."

After speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but Ye Qiuniang said with a smile: "Since he is an old friend of shopkeeper Yu, he is also our friend. Now it's time for dinner. There are cooks in the shop who have prepared the meals. We will leave after dinner."

When Zhang Zhen heard Ye Qiuniang's words, her eyes lit up instantly. You know, she hasn't had dinner at the same table with Yu Fei for many years. She can leave wisely, but now that she hears that there is a chance to stay, how can she not make her happy.

But when she turned her head and saw the indifference in Yu Fei's eyes, her heart also cooled down.

Seeing Ye Qiuniang saying that she wanted to keep someone for dinner, Mingrou saw Yu Fei's unwillingness, took her arm and coquettishly said, "Sister Yu, let her stay for dinner."

At this time, Fu Shuiyao's voice came from the door: "It's time for dinner, let's have a meal together."

Ye Qiuniang's intentions, Fu Shuiyao will naturally be clearer than the others, but she just wants to keep this woman sitting for a while, maybe she can see some flaws.

Everyone spoke out together, even Xu Qionghua who was at the side also asked to stay, Yu Fei had no choice but to say reluctantly: "If that's the case, then let's stay and have dinner together."

Seeing Yu Fei speaking, Zhang Zhen finally let go of her uneasy heart.

Seeing that there was one more person, the cook added two more dishes, and quickly arranged the meals. The other young ladies in the shop were eating in the kitchen. Ye Qiuniang, Yu Fei, Yu Jinglan and other seven people sat down around the table.

It's not easy for Yu Fei to distance herself from her at this time, she only said that Zhang Zhen was a former friend and her surname was Zhang, and she will not reveal anything else.

Although Zhang is the surname of the country, there are so many people with the surname Zhang in this world that no one thinks much about it.

After all, it's not in my own home. On weekdays, if you solve the problem of fullness in the store, you can deal with it at will, so the conditions are a little rough. Except for Ye Qiuniang, almost everyone present here is a lady with a lot of money, but Mingrou was kicked out by Du Xian. After the door of the house, they lived a hard life with Ye Qiuniang. Yu Fei brought her daughter all the way to Pingle and suffered a lot. Although Fu Shuiyao and Xu Qionghua came from good backgrounds, they had already gone to the countryside to do as the Romans did, only Zhang Zhen was left alone. , there is no one to wait around, and I am a little at a loss even to eat.

Yu Fei didn't say anything, she got up to scoop out the rice for her and her daughter, and even handed the chopsticks to her hand, and the man took it flattered.

Even so, although Zhang Zhen has tried her best to make herself behave more naturally, she has lived in the palace for many years, and in terms of dining etiquette, she is somewhat out of tune with those present, and the food on the table is also somewhat unappetizing. It won't be long before Fu Shuiyao I saw some clues.

Originally, Zhang Zhen and Fu Shuiyao were at odds with each other, but now that Zhang Zhen is able to eat with Yu Fei at the table, she has let go of the grudges in her heart at this moment, and her heart is full of Yu Fei who is on the side, so she doesn't care about the opposite The daughter of the county magistrate, and the strange thing is that Fu Shuiyao also restrained the thorns on her body, and ate quietly without saying a word.

After a meal, the atmosphere eased a lot, Ye Qiuniang winked at Mingrou, Mingrou smiled familiarly and pulled Zhang Zhen to sit in the yard, while Fu Shuiyao and Ye Qiuniang went to the other side of the warehouse.

After Yu Fei settled her daughter, she went out to work in the cargo hall.

"what have you found?"

"Well, this person's background is not simple. There are so many female officials in the DPRK, but they are all around 40 to [-] years old. This person is too young, I'm sorry, and she doesn't look like the daughter of an ordinary official. As refined as he is, he behaves like—"

"What is it?"

"It looks like a young lady from the palace." Ye Qiuniang felt a little incredible after she finished speaking.

"You have never been in the palace, and you have never interacted with people in the palace. Even I may not be able to tell which are court etiquette."

"I grew up with Rou'er since I was a child, and I often break through with you and Qionghua. I know the etiquette of ordinary young ladies, but she is obviously different. I remember reading a miscellaneous journal called "" There is a corresponding description in "Young Master Yu Intrudes into a Palace Banquet by Mistake", and some parts of it are exactly the same as the behavior of that young lady just now, and coincidentally, that person also happens to be surnamed Zhang."

"What you think coincides with what I guessed."

"Could it be that the higher-ups sent another person to investigate the Pingle flood? Today, Yu Mingyuan and his party are about to arrive. If they are in one group, why don't they act together? According to our previous speculation, Yu Mingyuan Collusion with Liu Chengye and others, he must have known the reason behind it long ago, there is no need to send someone to investigate in private."

Fu Shuiyao suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "You mean that these two people are separated, does that mean that the Holy Majesty does not trust Mingyuan, so he sent another person to find out the truth?"

"Although it sounds outrageous, I think this explanation makes more sense. If the person outside is really a court official, and the whole world belongs to their Zhang family, then what she did must be for her own benefit. , it won't be with Yu Mingyuan and his ilk."

After Fu Shuiyao heard Ye Qiuniang's words, her face became a little more joyful, but then she became sad again.

"what happened?"

"Since we met yesterday, I have not been able to get along well with this gentleman. I am afraid that it may be fatal. I don't know if she will hold a grudge against me, and she will not even treat my father badly. ?”

Ye Qiuniang smiled: "Since the emperor can entrust her with a heavy responsibility and send her to investigate such an important matter, then she must have something special and won't avenge her privately."

Fu Shuiyao said: "Look at the way she acted towards Yu Fei in the morning, she doesn't seem to have a good temper, but as long as she's not from Yu Mingyuan and Liu Chengye's side, I don't care about the rest."

But Ye Qiuniang said: "Things may not be as simple as we imagined. Just think about it, the little emperor is now fourteen or fifteen years old. He was young before, and the government was controlled by him and he couldn't do it on his own. But now at this age, he is most unwilling." Being strangled."

"So what does this have to do with the gentleman coming to Pingle?"

"What I mean is that the emperor's current focus should be on seizing power. If it's just a small project, given the current death toll in the flood, it's not enough to send a public official down to make an unannounced visit. So I think that Yu Mingyuan's Behind the group of people, there must be a big man manipulating it, and the emperor's visit this time may be to collect a concentrated handle and use it as a bargaining chip for suppression."

When Fu Shuiyao heard Ye Qiuniang's analysis, her eyes widened immediately: "A small Pingle County, will it really involve so many big shots?"

"Anyway, I'm a person who has traveled all over the country and experienced strong winds and waves. How can I be so surprised, not as good as a mountain girl like me." Ye Qiuniang couldn't help teasing.

"Come on, Huanshanye village girl, look at the greatness of this flood, one plan after another, even an old-fashioned old man like my father was almost persuaded by you."

"Didn't I say that it's human-made, but now that this incident involves so many people, it's not necessarily a bad thing for us."

Fu Shuiyao nodded: "Just wait and see."

On the other side, Mingrou and Xu Qionghua dragged Zhang Zhen to chat in the yard. After learning that Xu Qionghua was Xu Zhengde's daughter, Zhang Zhen couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Seeing the strange expression on her face, Xu Qionghua felt a little sensitive immediately, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Sister Zhang, could it be that she heard the commotion in the city? It's too mysterious that the material merchants can bring it down, my father just took the blame for others."

Zhang Zhen left Yu Fei's side at this time, returned to her senses, and her mind quickly became active, but she said calmly: "Such a large project has always been organized by the yamen. The people in the yamen let your father take the blame, and the yamen is managed by the magistrate, but it's surprising that you can get so close to the magistrate's daughter."

Xu Qionghua and Fu Shuiyao often bickered on weekdays, but when they heard outsiders say that about her, they suddenly felt a little unhappy.

"I don't need to tell you about my relationship with Sister Fu—"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Ming Rou was about to get up to persuade her, but a voice came from behind: "Qiong Hua, what are you talking about!"

Seeing that it was Fu Shuiyao who interrupted her, Xu Qionghua felt very aggrieved, stood up abruptly, her eyes turned red instantly, and her mouth curled down, "Why do you want to kill me, if she didn't say that you— —”

Seeing her aggrieved look, Fu Shuiyao's heart tightened for no reason, she stepped forward and took her hand behind her, then turned to Zhang Zhen and said, "Miss Zhang, I'm sorry, the little girl is used to being open-mouthed, but The matter between our two families cannot be explained clearly in a few words, if Ms. Zhang has heard the rumors from outside, please check it first before making a conclusion."

While speaking, the palm on the back felt the small fist clenched tightly in the palm, as if very dissatisfied, so he gently bent his thumb and slid across the back of the small hand to comfort him.

Xu Qionghua was caressed by her thumb, and the puffy little face suddenly calmed down a lot, but she still hid behind her with her mouth pouted, but she didn't make any more noise.

Zhang Zhen actually changed her face after seeing Fu Shuiyao came back, she was a little surprised, she didn't know if she had noticed something, her face turned slightly, but she didn't pursue it, she smiled and said: "Nothing However, the two sisters are deeply affectionate and pure, and they are not burdened by outside gossip, which really makes me envious."

Fu Shuiyao said with a smile: "The relationship between each other, Miss Zhang and our shopkeeper Yu is also enviable."

Yu Fei, who was doing calculations outside, sneezed inexplicably.

But this sentence greatly pleased Zhang Zhen, although judging from today's situation, the relationship between her and Yu Fei is really not good, and it doesn't look like what Fu Shuiyao said is enviable , but it did not prevent her from feeling happy.

Zhang Zhen came to Pingle this time with a mission on her back, but now she just passed by the rouge shop and came in to have a look. She didn't expect to have another meal all of a sudden, which delayed a lot of time. Thinking that Yu Mingyuan has already Arrived, the matter here has just been checked, and there are still many things that need to be arranged, so I stood up and said goodbye to them reluctantly.

Ye Qiuniang and Fu Shuiyao sent her to the door, but Yu Fei didn't even raise her head. Seeing this, Zhang Zhen was a little disappointed, but today she was largely satisfied, so she withdrew her gaze and looked up. The legs went out the door.

When Ye Qiuniang and Fu Shuiyao watched her turn around the intersection, a few vigorous figures behind her hurriedly followed, they looked at each other, and felt that the information they guessed in the warehouse just now was almost all right.

"Why didn't you just talk to her directly and honestly?" Fu Shuiyao was a little puzzled.

"Those were all our guesses just now. If you guess wrong, it may really put your father in a disadvantageous situation. Moreover, this gentleman seems to be very vigilant. We moved forward and said, the effect is no better than She found it better by herself, and she has been in Pingle during this period, if there is a turning point, it will not be too late to talk to her."

Fu Shuiyao nodded and said: "You really can't tell, you are usually quiet and honest, and you can do so many calculations in your head. If you go to be an official, you may be able to climb to the position of the capital."

Ye Qiuniang snorted lightly and said, "Who cares about going to the capital to be an official? Wouldn't it be nice for me to live a peaceful life in Tongzhuang in Pingle?"

Fu Shuiyao smiled: "I'm afraid you don't want to live a clean life, but you want to live a clean life with someone."

Ye Qiuniang ignored her joke, turned around and walked towards the backyard.

Mingrou was playing with Lanlan, when she saw Ye Qiuniang come in, she lay lazily on the bench.

"Jiujiu, I'm too full to walk."

Seeing this, Ye Qiuniang was secretly amused, knowing that this little thing would become lazy as soon as he had a full meal, and if he was at home, he might just curl up on the bed and lie down.

"Otherwise I will carry you to the next room to sleep for a while?"

"No, I want to go home."

"If you want to go back, go back."

Ming Rou hesitated and said: "It's still early, have you finished your work, don't delay."

"There's nothing important today, let's see if there's nothing wrong with Qionghua, we can go back."

Mingrou let out a groan, and said coyly: "I don't want to sleep with Huazi tonight."

Ye Qiuniang held back the corners of her mouth that wanted to twitch, and said nonchalantly, "Why is that, could it be that Qionghua snored at night?"

Ming Rou hurriedly shook her head: "Hua Zi doesn't snore, is it because I want to sleep with you?"

"Aren't you afraid that if you don't sleep with her tonight, she will have nightmares?"

"But...but I really want to sleep with you, it's so fragrant, you can rub my stomach for me, and it's okay...it's okay..."

After talking for a long time, Mingrou insisted on not saying the words "you can still kiss".

Ye Qiuniang didn't seem to notice her red ears, and said with a half-smile: "What else can I do?"

"Bad embryo—" Mingrou turned her head and looked at Yu Jinglan beside her. The little girl was lying on the stone bench and staring at the busy ants coming in and out of the ant hole. Got up, sat up, stood up and quickly kissed Ye Qiuniang on the lips, and then lay down on the stool as quickly as lightning, as if nothing had happened.

Ye Qiuniang finally couldn't hold back the smile at the corner of her mouth, and couldn't help the soft light in her eyes. She raised her hand and gently stroked her lips, as if reminiscing.

Seeing her action, Mingrou blushed instantly, buried her head on the stool, and turned into an ostrich with red ears.

Fu Shuiyao, who was following behind, had a panoramic view of this scene, couldn't help but clicked her tongue, and turned to look for Xu Qionghua. Just now, the little girl was still angry because of Zhang Zhen's matter, and she didn't know if she was better now.

Xu Qionghua was sitting in the room, motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

Just when Fu Shuiyao thought that he might have to spend a lot of effort to comfort her, Xu Qionghua turned his head and saw her coming in, stood up quickly, walked up to her and said, "Sister Fu, my father's affairs are really not from the outside world. It's as people said, and I don't doubt that Master Fu set it up."

Seeing her anxious look, she must have been shocked by Zhang Zhen's words just now.

As a person who knows the twists and turns behind her, Fu Shuiyao couldn't bear to see her frightened and uneasy look, and it was rare that she didn't want to talk to her as usual, so she reached out and touched her cheek The head said: "We all believe that your father is innocent, and I assure you that my father is not the messenger behind this matter, so can you put your heart back in your stomach?"

Xu Qionghua got her guarantee, her eyes sparkled, she really felt at ease, and then felt Fu Shuiyao lightly touching her hand on the top of her hair, and remembered the strange feeling that her thumb slid across the back of her hand when she pulled herself behind her just now , The heart beats faster for no reason.

She suddenly panicked in her heart, subconsciously stepped back slightly, and broke away from Fu Shuiyao's hand.

Fu Shuiyao only thought that she was awkward with him as before, and didn't care, turned around and was about to go out, but when she got outside, she almost bumped into Ming Rou and Ye Qiuniang who came over.

Ye Qiuniang said to her with a serious face: "If you have nothing to do tonight, why don't you go to Tongzhuang for a night?"

"Why is that? I don't feel comfortable sleeping at home, and since Yu Mingyuan is here, I have to help my father a little bit." Fu Shuiyao said inexplicably.

"You don't have an official position, so it's even more suspicious to appear at this time. If Qionghua always has nightmares at night, and the servants say that she wakes up in the middle of the night and cries twice, Rou'er is so sleepy now that she wakes up." If you don’t come, go and sleep with her for a few nights, and then go home and sleep when she gets better.”

Fu Shuiyao didn't believe it, she turned her head to look at Ming Rou, the little girl blinked her eyes and looked up at her, saying that she was as cute as she could be.
