Chapter Seventy-Three: The Three Swords of Honey (I)
Governor Li returned to the mansion to send troops, the Du family was sent by the housekeeper, and Mrs. Li grabbed her baby grandson and didn't let go: "What you said is true?" The rain flute is missing? Then don't go out these days. ”
"Yesterday my restaurant opened, Yu Xiao said that he wanted to come to the party but missed the appointment, now Xiao Tang, Xiaozhu and Yue Linfeng are looking for him, don't worry, Yu Xiao has been a blessed person since he was a child, even if he is mixed with something or someone, it is not difficult to get out." Du Shaonan comforted his grandmother.
"I hope so, the Lin family will be such a descendant." Old Madam Li is really worried about Lin Yuxiao, in the end, she watched him grow up, the young man is outstanding and sweet-mouthed, and she will not separate her relationship with her close relatives, and it will help the crown prince, which will inevitably make the old man really distressed.
In fact, in addition to targeting her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li has a bit of humanity towards others, which makes Du Shaonan sigh every time she thinks about it, is it true that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, and it is precisely because they are natural enemies that she became her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
"Do you think we should inform the queen of these two things? After all, we're in Dream now? Old Madam Li asked thoughtfully.
There is no need to hide it from the queen if the mother's family is in trouble, anyway, the prefect of Mengzhou will definitely report it to the imperial court, as for Lin Yuxiao's matter, the Du family knows about it, and it has to be said, no matter whether Lin Yuxiao is in danger or not, the queen mother will definitely be worried, and the queen mother is also a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Although Empress Dowager Lin does not regard her daughter-in-law as a thorn in her side like Mrs. Li, when she is upset and even trains her son, the queen who has the bottom of her heart can round the field on both sides and show her virtuous demeanor.
"It's good to tell me." Du Shaonan agreed.
Mrs. Li immediately asked Yahuan to get a pen and paper, and at the same time told Du Shaonan: "Nan'er." From now on, you must not go out, I thought it was a prank when I saw the satin in the satin, but now it has been proved that it is terrible. You said that the gangster actually knows exactly what kind of clothing our family is looking for, could he have hidden some traitors in the Guogong Mansion? ”
"The murderers were all aimed at the rich before, and they must know the preferences of the rich in Mengzhou City, and our family did not quietly look for clothes, and being inquired about by him does not mean that he is a god, as for the people of the Guogong Mansion, we brought it from the capital and the original guard of the old mansion are naturally trustworthy. It's just that those who help are easy to miscellaneous, so it's better to let the housekeeper give them an extra month's monthly money and let them go back first. We are no longer recruiting for the time being. ”
Du Shaonan pondered and made suggestions, this is the world of romance novels, and he doesn't have a detailed description of the strange case in Mengzhou, who knows if the murderer has an accomplice. Besides, the plot is out of control now. Even Lin Yuxiao will be gone, who dares to guarantee that he, cannon fodder, can survive to series two?
"It's yours." Mrs. Li was very satisfied with her grandson's explanation, and she said that her grandson was a capable man, and the reason why he hadn't shown his strength was just because of the young man's heart, so he must not let that Hu family ruin him!
As for stuffing the ring to her grandson, Mrs. Li still didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her, she was very strict with her son back then, and she didn't let the maid ring in the house get touched by the master. For fear of spoiling her character, the woman who was hungry and picked on her son was the one she didn't like the most. It made her sad for half her life.
It seems that this man has seen the world a lot, and he will not bite one when he is used to it.
Du Shaonan has been raised by Mrs. Li's side since she was a child, and when she looks at her grandmother's expression, it is clear that she thinks of the Hu family again, anyway, no matter whether it is good or bad, big or small, Mrs. Li can always associate the shortcomings of the Hu family, which further increases her disgust with the Hu family.
The hostility of more than 20 years is not something that Du Shaonan has the ability to resolve.
……
Governor Li returned to the mansion in shock, the Du family was targeted by the murderers of the Mengzhou strange case, and Lord Qincha disappeared again, and the two things weighed him so much that he walked swaying.
"My lord, something happened to Du Guogong's family, should we tell Master Liu, and the plaque that rewarded Miss Liu was sent over." Master Wang is more calm and flexible than Governor Li.
That's right! They only commended Miss Liu for assisting the government to solve the case, and then the murderer of the Mengzhou Strange Case jumped out to threaten the Du family, which is equivalent to making the Liu family lose face.
"Go! Just go! "Governor Li urged Master Wang, as for him himself, he had to personally take care of the disappearance of the Qin Mission, and he couldn't find anyone who could help talk before the Empress Dowager.
Master Wang moved quickly and his mouth was more neat, so he poured a basin of cold water on Master Liu, who was full of joy!
After all, Master Liu is not an ordinary person, and he was surprised in his heart, but his face did not show it: "It sounds terrible, but I don't know that someone is playing a prank in the name of the murderer of the strange case in Mengzhou, and the prefect should investigate in this regard." "The case must be closed, or the reward for his daughter will not be a joke.
"The Liu family and the Du family are about to become in-laws, and the prefect is afraid that Master Liu will worry about his future son-in-law." Master Wang didn't say much else.
"There is Lord Lao Zhifu who is concerned, and there is also Master Lao Wang who has come to visit." Of course, Master Liu would not let people come in vain, and the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion presented a gift.
Master Wang came back to the Liu Mansion for the sake of Governor Li's mansion, which is good to accept gifts as usual, so he immediately declined politely, so the guest and host politely pushed a few times, seeing that Master Wang really didn't dare to ask for it this time, and Master Liu didn't force it in the end.
sent Master Wang away, and Master Liu found Liu Yiyi again, and he didn't go around in circles, and directly told the matter as it was.
Sure enough, Du Shaonan was targeted because of her! Liu Yiyi was not surprised to hear it, of course she was worried for sure, Du Shaonan and Lin Yuxiao's fortunes are different, Lin Yuxiao is a goldfinger who can't die after falling off a cliff and will pick up treasures, but Du Shaonan is a cannon fodder.
"If Lord Qincha doesn't come back within three days, who will guarantee Young Master Du's safety? Daddy, can you let me go to Du Guogong's Mansion to help, I can do a little martial arts anyway. The cause and effect are all her, and Liu Yiyi can't sit idly by.
Her martial arts? Master Liu thought it was funny, but agreed that she would go to Du Shaonan, and it was easy to enhance the relationship by sharing hardships, but ......, "Of course you care about Shaonan's father and will not object, but when you go to Du's house, you first have to go to meet Mrs. Li." The old lady is said to be a very old-fashioned person, and she can let you unmarried men and women teach each other privately? Even let you live in the Du family? ”
Liu Yiyi's face flushed, and she ignored that this was ancient times. If you don't get married, you take the initiative to come to the door, and there is a problem with your style.
"Daddy thinks that we know that the Du family has something to do but stand by and watch, let alone be in-laws." Master Liu changed his words and stood on his daughter's side.
"So what should I do?" Fortunately, Master Liu didn't blame her for breaking the rules, which made Liu Yiyi very grateful, probably this is the so-called father.
"The elders are not too judgmental about the affairs of young people, and you will do your own business. It's human nature to worry about impulsiveness, and I still have an account book to read. But Master Liu got up and left.
Liu Yiyi sat in the living room, blinked and thought for a while, and finally understood what Master Liu meant. Master Liu encouraged her to care about Du Shaonan, but because of the etiquette, she couldn't support it publicly, so she could only pretend not to know, so that in case she was accidentally discovered by outsiders. It can also explain that she is young and impulsive, and her emotions are extremely chaotic. It's not that there is no tutor.
It's best if Master Liu passes this pass, to be honest, the person who Liu Yiyi cares about the most in this world is Master Liu, all the brocade clothes and jade food are given by others, and they also occupy the body of other people's daughters.
As for how to meet Du Shaonan, Liu Yiyi first denied taking a sedan chair to officially visit. When the female relatives came to the door, she would only see Mrs. Li, and then Mrs. Li clearly refused her to go to Du Shaonan. Can she still be cheeky and break into the Du family?
So she can only use the most old-fashioned and long-lasting trick in the novel - a woman dressing up as a man.
Before changing clothes, Liu Yiyi went to the kitchen to prepare snacks again, considering a series of things that have happened recently, she made the honey three knives with the name Yingjing.
flour, raw oil and water for the skin; Flour, flour, oil, caramel and water are used to make the filling, the skin and filling are rolled into equal sizes, the skin is glued together on the top of the filling, sprinkled with sesame seeds and rolled out to a thickness of less than one centimeter, and cut into strips less than two centimeters wide with a knife.
Five together, and then cut three knives with a knife, two knives do not cut off a knife, this is the real origin of the name of the honey three knives, cut into small pieces of about 1.5 cm, sieve off the dry flour for squeezing, when the blank is golden * color, take it out, pour it into the boiled syrup while it is hot and stir evenly.
After it cooled down, Liu Yiyi divided the three knives of honey into two parts, one in the food box to take away, and the other for the lotus flowers to take to Master Liu as a refreshment.
Lotus osmanthus these two rings are really a model in the ring, Miss needs to ask when she knows everything, Miss doesn't want to talk when they are quiet like the furnishings in the room, but there is still work in the eyes, if the owner does not want to do it himself and wants to get the things in his hands and is too lazy to open his mouth, it doesn't matter, a glance at the things will be handed to the hand.
Liu Yiyi rarely has lazy times, and what she is satisfied with about the two girls is that they never talk too much. For example, now she changed into men's clothes and instructed them: "I want to go out on errands, I don't know when I will come back, but I have already greeted the master before, you send this honey three knives to the master, and tell him that I will go out." ”
Lotus Osmanthus agreed to do so, and didn't ask why the young lady changed into men's clothes and where she was going?
Liu Yiyi had been to Du Guogong's Mansion when she paid her birthday to Mrs. Li before, and her memory was not bad, so it didn't take much time to find the right place, and then reached out and knocked on a small door above the door.
"Who, Du Guogong's Mansion is closed today." There was a sound in the door, but it didn't open.
"I'm a friend of your young master, and I brought him refreshments." Liu Yiyi spoke in a thick voice, and lifted the food box up.
Delivering something? The porter is most afraid of giving things now, but the one who can be friends with the young master is not something they can offend, what if it's not a bad guy or a noble son? "What friend are you our young master? Please also tell me the name, the little one is good to inform my young master? ”
The voice inside is very polite, but it's a pity that she doesn't have to dress up as a man if she can tell her real name, "It's not convenient to say my name in public, but I have some refreshments here, which I made with my own hands, you take it and hand it over to your young master, and he will know who I am." ”
It's easy to come up with a fake name casually, but Du Shaonan won't see it when he hears that he doesn't know it, and the reason why Liu Yiyi came with food is to use it to open the way.
The small door finally opened a small crack, and the people inside looked out cautiously, and the people outside were well-dressed, with fine skin and tender meat, very much like the little boy of a big family who couldn't go out all day long, and his weak appearance really couldn't be connected with the gangsters.
"Childe, please wait." The porter finally came out boldly, and he didn't dare to lead it in, but it shouldn't be dangerous to take something and hand it over, right?
"I'm tired." Of course, Liu Yiyi doesn't blame the porter's caution, it is appropriate to be cautious in extraordinary times, and she should really blame the murderer who made money and killed him.
Liu Yiyi's good luck still exists, when the porter delivered the food box inside, Du Shaonan just left Mrs. Li's yard and went back to his residence, so that someone outside was looking for Du Shaonan's news, and Mrs. Li didn't hear it.
Hearing that someone was giving food to the young master, Quanzhong, Quanxiao, Liren and Liyi were also like a great enemy, Liren carefully took the food box, and checked it repeatedly before he dared to say: "Young master, this is not poisonous." ”
"I think so..."Du Shaonan was not idle when Liren checked the food box, and asked the concierge about the appearance of the person looking for him, and then saw that Mi Sandao knew it.
"It shouldn't be an enemy or an acquaintance, Quan Zhong is going to invite someone in...... Forget it, I'll go meet her. Du Shaonan changed his mind and went out in person.
Liu Yiyi was not in a hurry to wait at the door, Du Guogong's mansion was bigger than Liu's house, the last time she gave Mrs. Li a birthday greeting, she got off the carriage from the door and changed to a small sedan chair, and walked for five or six minutes to the living room of the back house.
Almost twenty minutes later, the small door opened again, this time it was not the porter who came out first but Du Shaonan, and when he saw Liu Yiyi, the first thing he said was: "Sure enough, it's you." Then he asked, "Does Ling Zun know that you are coming?" ”
Unexpectedly, he opened his mouth to ask this first, Liu Yiyi didn't know how to answer for a while, saying that her father knew that she was coming, would it seem that she didn't have a tutor? said that her father didn't know that she was coming, would Du Shaonan send her back? Is this boy old-fashioned?
Who is Du Shaonan, she doesn't need to say it clearly, just by looking at her expression, she understands, "Ling Zun really loves you, speaking of which, you haven't seen the courtyard where I live, come in." ”
So he guessed that Master Liu connived at her to come to the Du family? Just let her in anyway.
Liu Yiyi has never carefully observed the mansion of the ancient eunuchs, this time she is on foot, walking on the bluestone floor, and there are many patterns carved on the walls on both sides, she doesn't understand much, she just thinks that the buildings here are more profound than the Liu Mansion, could it be that this is the difference between a family and a nouveau riche?
In fact, if a female dependent comes to the Guogong Mansion, she will get on the sedan chair as soon as she comes in, and she will not let people walk for more than ten minutes at all. Du Shaonan knew that Liu Yiyi was a woman, and he didn't let her enjoy this treatment, firstly, because the ancient women of this time and space didn't have to bind their feet, and they had no problem walking; The second is that he has seen the fierceness of modern women, can wear high heels to go up and down the elevator to the mall for a day and is still full of interest, can he wear flat cloth shoes and walk for ten minutes before he is tired?
