There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

"In these days, in order to turn around, salted fish will also fight hard." Li Qing sat on the side eating rice dumplings. This rice dumpling is a new way from the south. He likes rice dumplings in bamboo tubes, because there is no need to peel the skin, and they can be eaten directly from the rice dumpling. You can take it out of the bamboo tube and eat it: "Wan An used to be a person who had hoped to enter the Sixth Ministry and become a cabinet minister. After being messed up by you, the emperor doesn't like to talk to him anymore. Can he not be in a hurry."

In order to stand up, Wan An also worked hard.

And he can have the ability to fight, thanks to some good relationships he formed when he was a high-ranking official, as well as old in-laws.

In the end, it didn't work out well, and it went badly.

"Wanan...it's true." Wu Youwei and Wantong looked at each other, and the two of them knew each other.

Li Qing didn't come here to gossip, he came to ask Wantong about something, the two went to the study, and Wu Youwei wandered to the kitchen.

Today's dessert in the kitchen is Qingtuan and mung bean cake.

Wu Youwei really wanted to eat a green dumpling just out of the pot, but the cook stopped him: "Master, this just out of the pot is hot, let's eat this, freshly made rice dumplings in bamboo tubes this morning."

After a long time, everyone knew that the master had a good temper, and the cook was not afraid of him, coaxing him like a child, and sent away the greedy master by giving him two bamboo tube rice dumplings.

The chef also gave Wu Youwei a bowl of chicken feet: "Master, go eat outside, it's smoky here."

"What's for lunch?" Wu Youwei took the snack and asked the chef by the way.

"Garlic white meat, cucumber, cold eggplant and braised pork ribs, and old duck soup." The chef said with a smile: "There are sauce skeletons to eat at night, and the sauce is already in the pot."

The helper came by and said, "There are also chicken feet and duck feet that the master likes to eat, and a pot of sauce can be eaten for two days."

"Okay!" Wu Youwei went outside with two bamboo tube rice dumplings and a bowl of marinated chicken feet, and returned to sit on the rocking chair, enjoying the sunshine and eating delicious food.

When he finished eating, Wantong and Li Qing also came out of the study. Seeing a small pile of chicken bones next to Wu Youwei, they felt helpless: "Now that I have eaten so much, what should I do for dinner later? There is still room Let it go?"

Wu Youwei chuckled, but didn't dare to say anything.

The older he gets, the more he likes these scrappy snacks, such as chicken feet, duck feet, goose feet, duck collarbones, etc. If Wu Xiao didn't open a chain restaurant, these things are really not enough for ordinary people to consume, and the restaurants have to keep them every day Some fresh things are brought to him, and what he likes to eat is prepared for him in advance.

So much so that he doesn't eat much for dinner now, and he is basically full from eating these.

"My lord, brother, let's talk, I'll go first." Li Qing was already immune to this blatant show of affection.

"Stay here for dinner? It's almost noon." Wu Youwei felt that since his brother-in-law was around, Wantong wouldn't talk about it for too long.

"No, I still have things to do. I have to go home for lunch." Li Qing hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, said goodbye and left.

Wantong picked Wu Youwei up: "Walk around, digest after a while and then have lunch."

Wu Youwei was lazily led by the hand and walked in the yard: "How's the matter?"

"Everything is done according to the emperor's will. Those who should be arrested and those who should be killed." Wan Tongdao: "It will be dealt with once and for all."

"That's good." Wu Youwei said: "I have to treat the Englishmen to dinner some other day, this time I trouble them to go to the south." In ancient times, the journey was not easy, and the boats and cars were exhausting.

Although it was said that it was for official business, it was okay if they postponed the investigation, but they came back soon, proving that they believed in Wu Youwei in their hearts, and brought back all the local evidence.

"Okay." Wantong nodded: "But not in the nearest place."

There have been too many things going on recently, and this person is on the cusp again, so he should avoid it.

"Well, let's treat guests during the Qiqiao Festival. In July, when it's hot, invite them to have skewers! Ask someone to pick a skewer.

If this is the case, people will say that he "formed a party for personal gain" or something, so he decided to throw a bamboo stick in his face!

I've heard that there are three sworn brothers in Taoyuan, and one incense burner in Wagang, but I haven't seen anyone forming a party for personal gain at the barbecue stall!

Wantong understood Wu Youwei's meaning and nodded, "Okay."

In fact, it doesn't matter where you eat, without those people, basically no one will trouble this person.

"By the way, what's going on with His Highness the Crown Prince?" Wu Youwei said, "Is everything going well?"

"Could it not be smooth?" Wantong sighed: "So many people are following! It is scheduled to go to Mount Tai to worship the heavens on the day of Lixia. Pay homage to Confucius."

"Should be." Among other things, the continuous sacrifice of Confucius is something that has become a good talk in later generations.

It's just that it's already May, and Confucius' memorial day is in February.

And the emperor asked the prince to go to meet Yan Shenggong. After all, in the eyes of the ancients, the generals relied on the generals to conquer the world, but civil servants had to govern the world.

Civil servants are also admitted by literati, and there is no disrespect for Confucius among literati. If there is the recognition of the court Yan Shenggong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will really be flawless.

From the perspective of His Royal Highness's performance over the years, his background has been recognized by many people.

At least, His Highness the Prince's virtue is very good.

His Royal Highness does not like beauty, and practicing martial arts is only for physical fitness, but he respects soldiers.

The study is also very hard, and the ones who teach the East Palace are either the number one scholar or the second place and Tanhua, basically there is no one who is not from the top three... .

After lunch, Wu Youwei took a nice nap.

Wantong went out after he fell asleep.

This walk is three days.

Eating alone, even the old duck soup is not good.

Even in order to appetize the master, the cook made a special trip to buy some shrimp paste from the coast of Shandong, and made steamed pork patties with shrimp paste at a reasonable price to accompany his meal.

Afraid that the master's food would be too greasy, he scalded a plate of vegetables to refresh his mouth.

Fortunately, Wu You ate an extra half bowl of rice for that meal, otherwise the cook would have another headache.

After eating so little, when the adults come back and see that the master has lost weight, they will be punished again.

All kinds of small bits and pieces are constantly being developed, and the housekeeper Wanfu strives to let the master eat more.

Wu Youwei is more homely, so it doesn’t matter to him not to go out for three days, he can enjoy delicious food and various snacks at home.

But the outside is different.

It can be described as "turned upside down".

Many middle-level officials were arrested by Jin Yiwei and imprisoned, and the prison was overcrowded.

Many more officials were dismissed. If you look closely at these officials, it is not difficult to find that they are all the ones who wanted the East Palace to choose a concubine a few years ago.

And there are girls of the right age in their family.

Emperor Xianzong was ruthless this time, and asked them to check them out.

This takes time.

But the people were all arrested first, and the family members were also restricted from leaving the city and Beijing.

At the end of June, the crown prince drove back to Beijing.

When the news came, Duke Yansheng said in person that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is an excellent heir, and that the emperor taught him well, and the world is blessed.

At the same time, His Royal Highness presented Yan Shenggong with a set of top-quality crystal glass utensils, and also presented a set of painted glass sacrificial utensils to the Confucian Temple.

In fact, these two sets of items did not cost much, they were just a little more fancy, but they were of great significance, and their value skyrocketed at this moment, making them priceless treasures.

And because of this, glass sacrificial utensils are also selling well. After all, even Yan Shenggong used stained glass sacrificial utensils to pay homage to Confucius!

Wu Youwei patted the table and laughed when he saw the ledger: "Next time for the memorial service, let His Royal Highness send milk porcelain!"

Wantong couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this: "I don't know when the next time will be!"

"By the way, I'm going to ask someone to make skewers today, will you go?" Wu Youwei took the account book and asked Wantong: "It's at the Dechuan Hot Pot Barbecue Restaurant. By the way"

The hot pot there has been stopped, and the barbecue is the main one.

Besides, on a hot day, who eats hot pot?In this era, there is no air conditioner to cool people who eat hot pot.

"Go." Wan Tongdao: "I want to eat shabu-shabu tripe."

Barbecue and shabu-shabu is a kind of food, and there are many people and it is lively.

At night, before the sun went down, the two arrived at the place.

Wu Xiao came over in person and arranged a big table for them.

But it's not a private room, but an open-air grill. There are eight tables next to each other. It's lively and lively. One table is punching and drinking, the other table is talking loudly, and there are waiters in the shop shuttle back and forth to deliver skewers.

There is no beer at the moment, and Wu Youwei doesn't know how to brew it.

Only liquor, rice wine and wine, fruit wine.

The rest is sour plum soup and mung bean soup.

They didn't ask for white wine, but only rice wine, wine, and sour plum soup.

"Eating barbecue makes you angry, and drinking some sour plum soup can relieve the fire." Wu Youwei pointed to a very modern glass container, which contained a brown liquid, and water droplets came out of the glass wall.

"Okay, let's drink sour plum soup." Li Dongyang said with a smile: "Back then, when the ancients cooked wine and talked about heroes, we used cold sour plum soup and could barbecue."

"There's also fried belly." Wu Youwei said with a smile, "Our family Zhongming loves to eat."

Li Dongyang was suddenly stuffed with dog food, and immediately choked: "I love it too!"

Zhang Sheng smiled and pulled Li Dongyang to sit down: "Don't tell him, he must have ordered a big pot of shabu-shabu belly, enough for you to eat."

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Li Ge would like to eat boiled hairy belly." Wu Youwei laughed at Li Dongyang: "I thought you liked tea!"

"I like tea, but do you have tea here?" Li Dongyang glanced around intentionally.

The result was very embarrassing, Wu Xiao came over with a big urn: "I heard that some adults have come, and the small shop is full of splendor. I would like to present a urn of milk tea for you adults to taste."

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.

Wu Xiao didn't know what they were laughing at, but Wu Youwei stood up and took the milk tea, and patted him on the shoulder: "As expected of my brother."

Wu Xiao could only smile.

Everyone sat here to eat, surrounded by ordinary people, and there was Wantong at this table, although he only ate and didn't talk, but with a Jinyiwei commander like her sitting here, he was not afraid of being picked on.

Wu Xiao prepared a lot for them. There were only [-] skewers of mutton skewers. It was a huge pile!

It looked shocking.

There are also [-] skewers of shabu-shabu tripe, which are served in a big pot, and there are various grilled products on the table.

A few people talked and chatted while eating skewers and drinking a lot.

In fact, what they were talking about was just a few things. Zhang Rui held up the baked steamed bun slice and ate half of it, then smiled and said: "This is the first time Zhang ate in public."

It's noisy all around, but it also makes people feel relaxed.

"Grandpa, you definitely don't eat like this." Wu Youwei handed him a bunch of grilled chicken gizzards: "This is delicious, try it."

"Okay." Zhang Rui took it as expected, took two bites and said, "Well, it tastes good."

Yang Yiqing said while rolling the skewers: "The mutton skewers are still delicious."

These mutton skewers are all big skewers, three pieces of lean meat and two pieces of fat meat. When they are served, they are sizzling with oil.

"Don't just eat mutton skewers? That gets angry, let's have some sour plum soup, this is delicious!" Liu Daxia is the one who likes sour plum soup.

Unexpectedly, such an iron-blooded all-rounder in civil and military affairs would like this sour and sweet sour plum soup.

"This meal is to thank you for your hard work on a trip to the south." Wu Youwei took the opportunity to serve them half a cup of sour plum soup: "clean up my grievances."

"You're welcome." Several people toasted and drank half a glass.

After drinking this cup, everyone ate a few mouthfuls, the British public Zhang Rui said: "Actually, you should also thank the two of you."

"Who is it?" Wu Youwei was taken aback.

He has invited everyone he should have invited, even the unfamiliar Lin Jun is here, who else can be left behind?

"Oiran of Qunfang Pavilion." Yang Yiqing said, "Miss Chunlan and Miss Qiuju."

Wu Youwei blinked: "They...?"

How could the hasty passerby in his life help him?

"The two of the four great oirans of the year had already redeemed themselves, kept their identities incognito, and disappeared without a trace. Miss Chunlan and Miss Qiuju were finally taken away by wealthy businessmen. Shanghai County was able to catch Wu Ying so quickly because of their meritorious service in reporting... …”

It turned out that after Chunlan and Qiuju were taken away by rich merchants, they were taken as concubines, but the merchants also looked down on the oirans from the brothel Chuguan.

The eldest wife is strict, the second wife is mean, and the third wife is stingy. Both of them have suffered grievances as concubines in the rich merchants, and when the rich merchants have passed their freshness, they will give them away again until they are disappointed, because no one really cares about them. they.

The money has also been spent, and when they grow old and faded, there is no place to accommodate them.

They heard that a factory in Shanghai County was recruiting female workers, so they went to Shanghai County and met at the gate of the factory.

When the two met each other, things changed and people changed, and they hugged each other and cried.

After that, the two depended on each other and worked in the factory to barely make ends meet.

Even if the two of them are already in ruins and lost their youth, they are different from ordinary women.

This is more conspicuous among many ordinary women.

Fortunately, the two of them have a good temperament, some people can talk, and they got along with the female workers, not because the unmarried female workers regard them as role models, and the married ones are afraid that these two widows will hook up with their men... ...

Later, when I went shopping in the street, I happened to be discovered by Wu Ying's people.

Wu Ying happened to be looking for a bustard, these two people are so suitable!

Neither of them expected to meet him in such a place.

After being called out of their identities, they were afraid that the factory would find out, so the two had no choice but to resign from their jobs. Wu Ying made Wu Ying lose his guard against them with clever words.

If people like Wu Ying want to open a brothel Chu House, they have to rely on the old bustard to attract customers.

The two of them knew the rules of Shanghai County, and even more, who set up the rules of Shanghai County, the handsome boy back then, and Tan Hualang later.

That young talent that the four of them sisters will never forget.

Although they only had half friendship with him (one was at Qunfang Pavilion and the other half was at the Lantern Festival that year), but until now, when they recalled what Wu Youwei said back then, they felt that what he said was quite right.

They think too highly of themselves.

Xia He and Dongmei redeemed themselves, and after that they kept their identities incognito. Their lives were miserable, but they were happy.

How about them?

Greedy for vanity, was ransomed by a wealthy businessman thinking that he had met a lover, but in the end...

It's just a part of the fate back then, and it's also fate, they also know the relationship between Wu Ying and Wu Maid, and feel that he is uneasy and kind in Shanghai.

While pretending to be false, he secretly went to the Yamen to report them.

These people were captured in one fell swoop.

"So that's how it is..." Wu Youwei also sighed after hearing this: "Then what happened to them later?"

"A new identity has been arranged by the prefect of Songjiang, and sent to the Taiwan government. In a textile factory over there, I became the team leader of the women's team. I have a house. The monthly salary is much higher. In addition, I have also been rewarded. The two of them received 1000 taels of silver each, and Shanghai County, where the crime took place, also rewarded 500 taels of silver."

British Duke Zhang Rui said: "And the Taiwan prefect will take care of them a little bit."

No one there knows their flower names, no one knows their past, they are just ordinary people.

And relatively speaking, the folk customs there are more open, even more open than Shanghai County....

Only then did Wu Youwei know that what happened to him this time was thanks to the report from the two of them.

If Wu Ying really opens the business, then the Wu family will have some influence.

Now, huh, huh!

Guiwei, the crown prince returns to Beijing.

It was vigorous when it left, and it was also very beautiful when it came back.

After the hot summer, it is autumn.

After August [-]th, there was a lot of grain in the grain drying field.

Wu Youwei was reading a book that day, when suddenly it was dark!

"Huh?" Wu Youwei raised his head.

Before he could react, he heard a familiar sound.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Wu Youwei had black lines on his face.

Then I heard a familiar voice outside: "It's a solar eclipse! It's a solar eclipse!"

In autumn and August, Ji Maoshuo, there is an eclipse every day.

It's the harvest time, and the solar eclipse is coming!

Wu Youwei hurriedly dressed and went to the gate of the palace. Soon, Emperor Xianzong summoned the ministers.

At the Golden Luan Hall, everyone came in in a panic, but as soon as they saw the ceremony, Emperor Xianzong went crazy: "The solar eclipse must be dissatisfied with God, Wantong, Yu Jun, the case that you two were asked to handle, is it a criminal?" ?”

"Well, still in prison..." Both of them looked very serious.

"Hurry up and deal with what needs to be dealt with. Don't wait for Qiuhou to ask to beheaded. Now, I will hook it up!" Emperor Xianzong said coldly: "It's a waste of money to keep it."
