Chapter 461: Clue
Lilac?" Early in the morning, the carriage drove out for a while, and Zhiruo heard that the fake Wang Haitang appeared again.
"Yes," said Luoshuang, who was still few on the street, whispered a brief account of what he had seen and heard yesterday as he drove. They set off early this morning to continue to the capital, and they were also in a hurry, and bought a lot of steamed buns directly in the inn, and it is estimated that breakfast and lunch should be steamed buns. ”
The fake Wang Haitang will appear with a new identity so soon, Zhiruo doesn't think it's strange, just like Yueji turned around and became Jasmine, they were already spies.
What she was curious about was the main house that Lilac was going to, Miss Ling?
As far as she knew, the only squire surnamed Ling or Lin was Ling Zhengfeng, the squire of the household department. The mysterious lord wants to arrange for Lilac to be a maid by Ling Xiang'er's side, and he still wants to follow him into the palace?
Zhiruo frowned, according to what Ling Ziqian overheard, Ling Xiang'er's entry into the palace should be the prince's plan. And if you know that you are at least seventy percent sure that the prince is not the lord behind Mr. Yu, why is the trace of that lord always intertwined with what the prince did?
Is it because the lord is assisting the prince, or is he using the prince? There is a feeling that the prince is in the dark.
However, if the crown prince is indeed not the lord, according to the current inference, that person's energy and strength are really not ordinarily strong, and he has been tossed under the emperor's nose for many years without being discovered, and even the prince has been watched, used, and even controlled.
What kind of person has such ability? The only thing that can be determined is that it must be a royal person. She is now looking at any prince and prince who is like, and the seemingly down-and-out cannot be ruled out, and no matter how good her reputation is, it cannot be ruled out. The reason is very simple, that person's network is so wide, but the hidden is so deep, can there be no strong protective color?
Sighing lightly, Zhiruo rubbed the corners of his forehead, it's not easy! The more he checked, the more clueless he seemed to be! It's better to strengthen his strength in a down-to-earth manner. No matter who he is, sooner or later he will always show his tail, and the eyes of the Wish Fang will get brighter and brighter. In other words, sooner or later, the most important thing is to see whether the strength is enough.
"Master," Luo Ying of course also knew Ling Xiang'er, "Do you want people to stare at that Lilac, or do we also arrange someone to Miss Ling?"
Zhiruo shook his head: "You can try to insert people into the Ling Mansion, but once Lilac follows up the palace, it will not be easy to keep an eye on her." "At present, it seems that Ling Zhengfeng is on the prince's side, but it is unknown whether it has anything to do with that group of people.
As for inserting people next to Ling Xiang'er, I don't know if I have this plan: "Miss Ling is a very smart person and very vigilant, not to mention that there is an extra clove now." "Lilac is a specially trained spy, and his sensitivity is naturally extraordinary, and he is in the territory where this group of people has an advantage, so if he doesn't feel the need to take this risk. That lord is a royal man, and he must have a few eyeliners in the palace, doesn't he have an advantage?
"If I'm not mistaken," Zhiruo frowned, "The person who introduced Lilac to Miss Ling should be Mother Feng who came to our Meizhuang to give a New Year's gift last time, but I don't know how much Mother Feng participated in it, or rather, she didn't know that this Lilac had been replaced." Ling Xiang'er fought wits and courage with her stepmother's scumbag, and knew that the prince was using the scumbag father and herself, and she was extremely careful in employing people, so she thought of asking Feng's mother to find someone from her hometown?
"I don't know, not even her cousin," Luo Shuang affirmed, the man's face was full of devotion, greed, and the beating of Lilac did not seem to be fake, and he was counting on this niece to help their family in the future, but the disdain and contempt that flashed on Lilac's face fell into Luo Shuang's eyes.
"Let's look at it first," if it wasn't necessary, for Ling Xiang'er, Zhiruo didn't want to stretch his hand too far. Of course, it is not bad to be mutually beneficial, but her understanding of Ling Xiang'er is only superficial now, and she has no confidence to cooperate with her.
The carriage slowly came to the most prosperous street of Songjiang Mansion, the Joy Restaurant, the Jiangnan Chunda Embroidery House, the Su Siniang Weaving Workshop, and the Nanhu Chun, where the first bag of Songjiang Mansion is located that everyone knows about the inn guy Ercai, are all in this street or the alley that extends from the street.
The shop of Nanhuchun is not large, and it is famous for fried buns, xiaolongbao and fried steamed buns, many people buy them back to eat, but there are still a few small private rooms, which are said to be used to meet the needs of dine-in but do not like to show up in the lobby of large families, especially female customers from other places.
Knowing that the master and servant came early, there were not many dine-in people in the store, but there were many people who looked like big families were waiting in line, and then hurriedly left with two or three large oil paper bags.
Zhiruo and Luo Ying asked for a small private room inside, and Luo Shuang left happily with an oiled paper bag: "Sister Ying, I'll go find a place to repair the carriage, and wait for you under the big locust tree on the street later." ”
Luo Ying nodded, "You go to the Joy Restaurant to book a small private room in a while, and the master will go there to eat at noon." After speaking, he quickly followed Zhiruo, who was walking towards the private room.
The steamed buns of Nanhu Spring are small in form, steamed in a special small bamboo basket, and are known for their thin skin, tender meat, juicy, fresh taste and beautiful shape, and the Nanhu Spring Chicken Juice Xiaolongbao is known as the first package in Songjiang Mansion. Luoshuang knew that Zhiruo liked small and delicate buns, so he led the way here early in the morning after inquiring about it.
"Sure enough, the name is well deserved," he swallowed the bun in his mouth and sighed with satisfaction. Not to mention, although there are all kinds of spices and technology accumulation in modern times, some crafts in ancient times are really lost, and this chicken sauce xiaolongbao is better than all kinds of soup dumplings, xiaolongbao, crab roe buns, and fresh juice buns that she has eaten in modern times. Of course, there may also be reasons why the materials are pure and natural without additives.
Luo Ying also nodded again and again: "I thought that xiao longbao was very good last night, compared to this one, it is really a little worse." I went all the way to Songjiang Mansion, and it was a pity that I didn't try this. "No wonder Ercai strongly recommends it to Luoshuang.
Zhiruo smiled: "You also need to be a foodie like us." "There's time to inquire, there's time to forage. If they were in a hurry with a task like Lilac, how could they have time? They didn't have this leisure and elegance, did they? Anyway, they also got up early and rushed in the dark ten days ago, and they didn't know how many local delicacies they had missed.
