Nongmen Shenjue

Seven years ago, there were no protective measures such as wooden railings on the mountain behind Kuliang Temple.

The 13-year-old Zhai Junyang is already a handsome boy, with open eyebrows and eyes, and a layer of restlessness covering his body, as if he would explode if he poked it casually.

In the middle of the afternoon, he came out of the temple alone, walked aimlessly along the path, and walked to the open place without knowing it.Anxiously kicking the dirt on the ground, not afraid of the steepness of the cliff, standing on the edge and blowing the mountain wind, squinting and looking into the distance.

At this time, someone approached quietly behind him, and with an extremely decisive push, Zhai Junyang, who was defenseless, was pushed down.

"Ah!" Zhai Junyang exclaimed instinctively.

This person knew that the cry would attract people, so he turned his head and fled quickly without stopping.

He didn't go in the direction of Kuliang Temple, but made a detour from the mountain, and found a direction to go down the mountain from the other side.There is obviously no way here, but it is the way out that he has identified for a long time. He knows how to go just by looking up.

As Zhai Junyang said, this person was indeed wearing a half-worn gray robe.

He was about thirty years old, dressed in old clothes, but very clean, well-proportioned, with a fair complexion, not a person who does physical work.This person was very cautious, not only did he not go down the mountain from Kuliang Temple, but he also walked around the edge of the mountain, deliberately bypassing the town, until at dusk, he appeared in a small village and entered one of the farmhouses.

After lunch the next day, the man drove away in a carriage.

From his getting along and talking with the peasant family, we know the general origin of this person.

This man's name is Jiang Lai, and it is said that he runs a mutton soup restaurant in the capital.The mutton in his restaurant was purchased from this farmer, and every two days the farmer would send live sheep to the city, and slaughter the sheep in the restaurant and clean them up.The farmer's family naturally attaches great importance to having a long-term and stable business, and they are not sloppy in their work. This time the restaurant owner came home suddenly, and the farmer was really nervous, thinking that something happened to the business.

After asking, I found out that the other party was passing by on business, and came by the way, and wanted the farmers to help buy some mountain products, and then send them along with the mutton.

It is a good thing to have another way to get money.

Jiang Lai also said that he was going to visit friends nearby, and he temporarily left the carriage at his house, so the farmer's family naturally had no objection.

Looking at it now, Jiang Lai's so-called passing by is false, and it is true that he used the farmer's house to park his carriage as a cover.

Since this is not the first time the two parties have bought and sold, then the mutton soup restaurant really exists.In this way, the identity of this person is easy to check.As for why the Huo family couldn't find out, it was because Jiang Lai changed his clothes.In his panic, Zhai Junyang only saw the color of his clothes and his gender. He didn't know the rest at all, but how to find someone based on this vague information?

The capital has a large population, and there are so many people with the same color of clothes.

The Huo family can only check the people who come and go from Kuliang Temple, and then look at the little Huo family, and even the third bedroom of the Huo family.However, in those few days, no suspicious person appeared, so the matter was suspended in the end, and there was nothing to do.

Mu Qingyan noticed that after seven years, this farmer no longer raised sheep, and the former sheep pen became a pig pen, and a chicken coop was built.

Seven years is enough to change many things, and the mutton soup restaurant in the city may not still be there.

Sure enough, the two inquired in the city, and found several mutton soup restaurants, but there was no one they were looking for.In this way, we can only spend more effort, retracing Jiang Lai's itinerary from the day the farmer left.

The mutton soup restaurant seven years ago has now become a teahouse.

I ordered tea in the teahouse and chatted with the buddy.

"I heard that there was a mutton soup restaurant here before?"

"Does the customer know about such a long time ago? Indeed, it used to be a mutton soup restaurant, but his business was slow and it couldn't continue, so our boss sold the store. It's been five or six years."

"This shop is not small, and the location is not bad. If you can open a restaurant here, you should have a good foundation. Since you don't want to be a mutton soup restaurant, do you make other money to make a living?"

"Hey, you two are foreigners. I probably don't know. The boss in front is surnamed Jiang, and his background is not simple. Does the Huo family of the Duke of Liguo know? He is the companion of the third wife of the Huo family, Uncle Yu Rongyu. Son-in-law. It is said that the mutton soup restaurant he opened at the beginning was owned by Mr. Yu Rong. It was really lively for the first two years, but then it turned yellow.

After all, it depends on the government of Liguo, the mutton restaurant is not successful, and there is no way out.Na Jianglai cleaned up the stall and left the capital. It is said that he went to the south to help the third wife of the Huo family take care of the farm. "

This result is not surprising.

Anyway, Zhai Junyang said earlier that Mu Qingyan doesn't need to worry about anything else, just tell Zhai Junyang the name of "Jiang Lai", and the other party will take care of everything else.

At the beginning, Zhai Junyang approached him to avoid people's eyes and ears, so naturally he couldn't contact him openly.He was not in a hurry, he waited for Chen Shiliu to accompany his new wife Sanchao to return home, and finally had the time to think of him, brought a pot of good wine, and asked the restaurant to bring a table of good food, and wanted to drink with the two of them.

"Brother Mu, Brother Wen, I've been slow these few days. I'll punish myself with a drink." Chen Shiliu's face was filled with pride, and he even smirked from time to time.

After drinking for three rounds, Mu Qingyan brought up the matter of Zhai Junyang.

There is no need to hide this matter from Chen Shiliu.

When Chen Shiliu heard this, he sighed: "I didn't think so before, but now that I think about it, it's really not easy for him to grow up so big. It's bad news that this matter has been found out on the third house of the Huo family."

If it's just Xiao Huo who has ulterior motives, then the Huo family didn't teach their daughter well, but if the third wife of the Huo family is involved, it will make things more complicated.The Huo family itself is also involved in the issue of Cheng Jue. It is Huo's parents who support Zhai Junyang, but the third family supports the little Huo family. Is there any other idea here?

Even if he didn't, it was just because he felt sorry for his daughter and nephew, but it really poked a hole in the Huo family's two families.

"It's just right, I planned to invite them to drink, and I will tell him about it." Chen Shiliu thought about it, and felt that it would be inconspicuous.

Chen Shiliu was just getting married, and he himself was busy with nothing else except for the magic break in Fenglin County.He had no intention of official career, the Chen family didn't force it, and the Yue family also knew about it.Yesterday I accompanied my wife to a door-to-door banquet, and I hosted a group of friends. After that, I still stayed at home most of the time, one was to accompany the newlywed wife, and the other was to study with his father.

As the son of the Chen family, maybe you don't need to do much, but you need to know what you should know, and you must know what happens.

Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue were touring the capital while analyzing the situation in the DPRK and China.

Earlier Wen Jixue had the idea of ​​making a deal with the prince, the older princes were not under consideration, but there was someone to choose.After hearing this, Mu Qingyan also thought it was appropriate.Of course, from the current point of view, that person is really inconspicuous, but the situation is changing all the time, Wen Jixue's push will remove many obstacles for the opponent.

Wen Jixue planned to find out the identity of "Cai Junchi", so she formally contacted the prince.

After staying in Beijing for a long time, I also noticed all kinds of undercurrents under the calm.

The several princes headed by King Xianjun used to compete in secret, but they have slowly come to the fore.Above the court, today you impeach me, tomorrow I will impeach you, the emperor just sits quietly, rarely expresses any opinions, and usually treats them indifferently.

It was the seventh day of April, and Mu Qingyan planned to return to Fenglin.

I have been away from home since the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and it has been more than half a year, so I am really homesick.

Just the night before leaving, someone came to the door.

The person who came was covered in a black cloak, and the hood covered most of his face, but a pair of green embroidered shoes were exposed under the cloak, indicating that it was a woman.The other party took off the hood, he recognized him, Jing Xian!

Mu Qingyan was very surprised, and saw an unfamiliar man behind her, dressed like a servant, but from his gait, he seemed to be someone who knew kung fu.It is also reasonable, after all, this pure leisure is a female stream, with a good reputation, and living alone, it is inevitable that she will be a little bit worried.

What surprised him was that Jing Xian would come to the door, still in such a covert way.

Unexpectedly, when I think of Zhai Junyang, and then look at Jingxian, I have some guesses.

Sure enough, there are many dignitaries in the capital, and there are many disputes, and every family is not resting.

If it is said that Zhai Junyang is a straight-tempered person, his pure leisure is that he is arrogant in his bones, and he also doesn't like hypocrisy and cover-ups. When he came, he straightened up his purpose: "Kuye came to visit, I hope Mr. Mu will forgive me. I don't know about me. Did Young Master Wen mention it to Mr. Mu?" Pass?"

"Miss Jingxian, please tell me something." Mu Qingyan really didn't like Jingxian's temperament, but they rarely interacted with each other, and there were no festivals or conflicts, so he couldn't avoid it like a snake.

"I want to entrust Mr. Mu to find someone." Jingxian looked directly at him, his eyes were cold, as if he could see through everything.

To be honest, Jing Xian is good-looking and indeed smart, but it is hard to be liked.It has nothing to do with anything else, it seems that her eyes seem to have thorns, and they want to pierce people, and they are bright and undisguised.Who doesn't have a temper?Who likes being stared at like that?

"Please tell me." Mu Qingyan felt that Jingxian was a hedgehog, and considering her family background and upbringing experience, it was not difficult to understand.

Jingxian took out a piece of ropa from his sleeve, and wrapped it with a

"My mother came from Yin's family. When she got married, she brought two families with her. My mother died, and the Wan family entered the family. Xun Youfa made one of the families and put her own people in. I was sent out back then, and there were only two people around me. The old servant, a little girl, has no relatives and no reason. Thanks to my mother's favor, she is willing to continue to take care of me.

Although those three are my mother's people, they are not my mother's confidantes.I have a nanny, who was my mother's maid since she was a child, and she also followed Liu's family, and later married a small steward named Jin in the Kangjun Prince's Mansion.The couple did not work in the palace after they got married, but opened a shop outside to do business and gave birth to a son.It just so happened that my mother had me, so she was worried about asking others, so she asked the wet nurse to come back.

The Liu family called the wet nurse "Golden Lady" and "Golden Sister-in-law". After my mother died, she took care of me for half a year.Later, she fell ill and couldn't take care of her nearby, so she went out.Didn't come in after that.I only heard later that their family left the capital shortly after Wan's entry. "

Jing Xian was silent for a while, and then said: "When Wan Shi first entered the door, she was very good at being a man, and she treated me as if she were her own. Many people praised her. The wet nurse probably felt relieved, so she left. I have been looking for her all the time. , I just don’t know where she went. I want to ask Mr. Mu for help, so keep quiet.”

It's nothing to find someone, it's only natural to want to find a wet nurse, but don't say anything...
