Powerful ministers are husbands

The mustache leaned against the pillar with his arms folded, tilting his head to look at Pang Miao, but his eyes did not make people feel uncomfortable, as if there was a soft warmth that had been tightly integrated with the eyes like autumn water, clear and peaceful.

"If you're not ashamed to speak out..." He paused, then smiled and said, "You can be called someone who will help you."

This statement... is not false.But Pang Miao was dissatisfied with his perfunctory, and asked: "I wonder if I can ask you about your name."

Mustache clasped his fists and bent slightly, "I'm under the command of Yushitai, Shi Ce Changshu, and was ordered to investigate Lu Shilang. Seeing his subordinates pointing fingers, I came in first to cover you."

"Oh——" Pang Miao didn't plan to tell this person what he overheard just now. Who knows if he is from Yushitai, and the position of Lingshi is obviously in charge of documents. When would he need to run away? Has someone been found out?Go home later and find someone to pass on the news. Those who should know will still know, and Lu Yi and Lu Yi will discuss it tomorrow.

As if aware of the doubts, Mustache met each other frankly: "The so-called capable people work harder. I not only care about my job, but also assist the Yushi with some errands. There are so many people like me, and it is difficult to walk around in the imperial city." It’s not eye-catching, so it’s easy to do errands.” He pulled out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over, “I know you are Mr. Pang Miao Pang, when the palace attendant called your name during the first dynasty, I happened to be there back."

Pang Miao thanked him, took the veil and wiped his face, after a while the snow-white veil turned black, as if a thick dark cloud was tightly pressing it.He quietly glanced sideways at the mustache, silently guessing how much he had seen.

Ce Changshu ordered the store clerk to bring a basin of hot water, and Pang Miao finally cleaned his face, but unfortunately the black raindrops on his clothes could not be wiped off, and he planned to go home later when it was getting late.

"Since Mr. Pang is fine, I will take my leave first."

Unexpectedly, Ce Changshu was the one who said goodbye first. Pang Miao bowed meticulously to thank you, "Thank you for your help today. I am grateful, and I will repay you tomorrow."

The chief strategist smiled gently, and stroked his beard on his lips, "It's nothing more than a small effort, if I have to repay such a small matter, I'm too busy to deal with it every day. Mr. Pang, next time you can't lie on the ground like that It can be seen that if you meet a censor who cares about you, you will be reported tomorrow for your lack of grooming and bad manners."

There are no censors who care about trivial matters. Pang Miao heard that a doctor in a certain government office was greedy for duck fat pancakes on the street. Sticking to the corner of his lips, he happened to be bumped into by the censor, and he immediately went to sue the saint.

It is true, but there is something in the chief strategist's special words, which is to remind him to be careful in the future.

Pang Miao's heart was clouded, and after thanking the chief strategist again, he watched people rushing out of the Jinbao Building, not sure if they were chasing Lu Yi.

Zhang Si poked his head at the door for a while, and came in with a smile on his face, "Master Pang, you don't know that man, right?" Before he finished speaking, he noticed Pang Miao's gloomy gaze, and quickly waved his hands to defend himself. : "This man knows your name and family background, what errand you are doing, and wants to see you urgently, so I was deceived by him."

"It's not your fault." Pang Miao smiled. If people weren't so easy to be fooled, the scammers in this world would have changed their careers or starved to death. "Have you got the menu?"

Hearing that Mr. Pang didn't care about it, Zhang Sixi smiled, "I'll go downstairs to get the little one right away, and I'll talk to the shopkeeper later, and I'll give you some benefits."

The clerk rushed out quickly, and Pang Miao picked up a piece of unstained rice paper, and drew a pen to describe Ce Changshu's appearance.

When Zhang Si came back with a few lists, he put the portrait in his arms, picked out some dishes that the family loved, paid the deposit, and prepared to go home quickly.

At the gate of Jinbao Building, three people walked towards them. The leader's appearance was somewhat similar to Cao Lv's, but there was a shrewdness of a businessman in his brows and eyes. From ear to ear.

Jinbaolou is doing official business, and the price is affordable by ordinary people. Compared with the surprisingly expensive Zhenyuanlou, it is more popular among ordinary people, so it just got dark outside, and the guests are like Like a tide rushing in.Whoever picks up such a big leak can wake up with a smile in a dream.

Cao Xun's luck is really good.

When Cao Xun was looking at him, he had already seen him, and his expression was obviously taken aback.

"Could this guest be my eighth brother's brother-in-law?" Cao Xun asked with his mouth open. Unlike his older sisters, although he was dressed like a nouveau riche and had no taste at all, his tone and demeanor were upbeat. Appear polite.

As soon as Zhang Si saw the new boss coming, he hurriedly moved forward, "Yes, this is Mr. Pang, who is the school secretary in the secretary's province."

Cao Xun smiled and cupped his hands, "I'm Cao Xun, the family has six. That means in-laws are my own people, just call me Cao Liu."

It was rare to meet someone who was polite, so Pang Miao opened his eyes a bit, and bowed his hands, "Sixth Master Cao, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Seeing Pang Miao's politeness, Cao Xun didn't worry about it, and asked again following his intentions: "Look at Zhang Si's hospitality, Mr. Pang is a regular visitor here, right?"

"The dishes are not bad, and the price is reasonable, so I come here often." Pang Miao replied, "My mother's birthday is approaching, so I come here to book a banquet. Now my mother is waiting for me to go back for dinner, so I won't delay Mr. Sixth Cao." .”

Cao Xun knew the situation of exempting the account, and seeing that he would not be able to get it, and it would seem hypocritical to waste some tongues, so he ordered the shopkeeper who was following him: "Mr. Pang and I It’s my family, so when the time comes, the ingredients of the dishes should be carefully selected and the portions should be large.”

The shopkeeper knew Pang Miao, and suddenly remembered the marriage of the Cao and Pang families, so he hurriedly responded.But he wondered, wasn't there a rumor that the Cao and Pang families had fallen out in the market?But according to Cao Liuye's temperament, after all, he had married two surnames, so even if he was unhappy, it would make people three points on the stage.Looking at Mr. Pang again, with a clear and cold expression, it seems that the rumors are true.

Cao Xun stepped aside, "I don't want to keep my wife waiting, Mr. Pang please."

"Thank you, Master Sixth Cao, for your kindness." Pang Miao thanked him, and when he walked out of the Jinbao Building, he looked back. Cao Xun was playing with a guest's child, and he looked kind.

Then thinking that Lu Yi and his gang would plan to deal with Cao Lu and Jin Baolou tomorrow, he lifted his clothes and ran home.

Zhang Mu stood in the courtyard, practicing his sword against the dark sky. There was a table of dishes on the dining table, but looking at the dishes was unappetizing. Sitting at the table, Cao Lv and Xue Jinyi whispered What, Xue Jinyi listened intently and kept nodding.

When Pang Miao entered the door, their words were similar, Cao Lv raised his head and smiled at him.Running all the way back, his whole body was a little hot and uncomfortable, but with such a smile, he was relieved, as if he had finally found a way out in the panicked woods.

Xue Jinyi called Zhang Mu together, removed the dishes from the table like a storm, and hid in the stove with his things in his arms.

Pang Miao showed Cao Lv the portrait of Ce Changshu, "Do you recognize this man?"

"I know." Cao Lv shook Pang Miao's hand, "His name is Ce Changshu, Yushitai Lingshi, and his uncle is Yushi Zhongcheng Ding Ji. The uncle and nephew have been separated for more than ten years. In the past two years, by chance Reunion. Ding Zhongcheng gave him a job as Lingshi, but he pretended not to recognize him. What's wrong?"

Pang Miao told everyone what he had seen and heard in the Jinbao Building, and at the end, Cao Lv chuckled disdainfully.

"Ce Changshu was indeed ordered to investigate Lu Yi secretly, so there is no need to worry. You, on the other hand, have become more courageous. You promised me not to do dangerous things earlier."

Pang Miao said innocently: "No, no, I have to think about the countermeasures before I dare to do this."

Cao Lv laughed, "You're lucky. I'll ask people to follow up with Lu Yi tomorrow, so don't provoke him again. He likes to set people up and trip him up. Many people have suffered a lot. You have also seen the recent Tan Ji, how much effort the surnamed Tan has spent, at least it has disturbed him a little bit."

Pang Miao nodded vigorously, "I cherish my life very much. Oh, I thought about it when I was on the road. The most likely thing he did was to poison your portion of the meal. Anyway, your brothers have a bad relationship. , My brother feels that my brother is here, blocking the way of inheriting the title, so let's deal with it quickly. Or, directly poison everyone's food, test it out before eating, and make an endless show."

While talking, Xue Jinyi and Zhang Mu brought a few dishes, which were different from the previous ones. They were all delicious in color and fragrance. When Jinxiu helped Mrs. Pang enter the door, she praised the taste.

Xue Jinyi was a little embarrassed, scratched his hair, and said, "I'm not good at cooking, and I don't even eat rhubarb when I make complicated dishes, so I have to rely on Zhang Mu."

Pang Miao turned around and asked Cao Lv, "Are you telling him how to cook?"

"It's just some small suggestions." Cao Lu said.

Xue Jinyi cupped his fists, "Thank you for helping me a lot."

Pang Miao tugged at Cao Lu's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "The most straightforward way is that Jinbaolou won't get this business this time, but will people say that you are secretly tripping?" The matter of the young master comes first.

Mrs. Pang was there, and Cao Lv also lowered her voice. The two of them talked together, and they seemed to have a very good relationship in the eyes of others. Mrs. Pang didn't care about the rules in front of the elders. It's true that the juniors are happy.

"You're right... Cao Xun's only shortcoming is that he is greedy for money, but it is also to make his wife and children live better. Besides, he often does good deeds and has a good reputation in several places in Lin County. Let's eat first, Let’s inquire about this matter tomorrow.” He squeezed Pang Miao’s hand, in life, food is the most important thing, and a few bad people and things should not delay such important things as eating.
