Chapter 157: The Time Has Come—Prepare
However, it was said that Ling'er and Bai Dashan went to King Deheng's courtyard to get together, and the three of them played chess and tea. Ling'er guarded the chessboard for a long time, and couldn't take down King Heng, he was very anxious in his heart, and he was depressed, and suddenly found a wonderful place, and his heart was overjoyed.
King Heng was not angry, and picked up a cup of tea in his hand, "This is the best dragon well before the rain, it is the most pleasant to drink, Hou Ye might as well try it." ”
"The prince is an elegant person, the old man just quenches his thirst, and he doesn't know how to taste tea, so why don't you wait for this Yaxing." Bai Dashan modestly picked up the green jade teacup, his skills were skillful, and his posture was calm, and he was by no means a reckless martial artist as he said.
Ling'er can't listen to the two men, you say something that is not painful, just won the two games of chess of King Heng, and his heart is not happy, "I have always liked to drink tea, and there is no shortage of good tea at home since I was a child. However, these snacks can still be eaten, especially this lotus seed cake, which is very much to my liking. ”
"Oh? Uncle didn't see your mother drinking tea in the past, but besides me and my father, who else would give you mother and daughter things?" Bai Dashan was interested, and asked with an inquiring look on his face.
Ling'er pouted secretly, she was really carried away, and she lost her words when dealing with such an experienced person, if you are not careful, you will show your feet, why bother that he is still the brother of his mother in this life. At this time, the maidservant who was waiting on the side said coincidentally: "The slave maid just saw that the roses in the garden were blooming just right, but there were too many bees and they didn't dare to get too close."
"I'm going to take a look, I can't see these flowers and plants in the capital for a long time, it's better to pick some back and put them in the room." Then he followed the maidservant who had just spoken and walked to the garden.
Walking to the rose bush and standing still, Ling'er looked around, feeling strange in her heart. Ji Min poked her head out of the blooming Yueji lace, this Ji Min was wearing a bright fuchsia dress today, which complemented the Yueji flowers, and she was very thoughtful.
"Okay, you ghost girl, the spies have all entered the courtyard of King Heng's Mansion, where else can you not enter, tell me quickly, where have you gone to have fun?" Ling'er looked at Ji Min, who was smiling in the flowers, and asked jokingly.
"Sister, don't say it, today is just a coincidence, I was looking for you everywhere, who wanted to ask for a long time and didn't have an eyebrow, and I didn't dare to let go too much, so I had to wander around the street hoping to meet by chance. Coincidentally, I saw this girl go out to buy something, I have seen it somewhere before, so I followed with hope, who knows that since she found out. Ji Min pointed to the maidservant next to him and smiled.
Ling'er also felt ridiculous, a young lady followed a girl, but was caught, "Then you made **** to make her from you, or the charm of Brother Kong Fang?" After saying that, he couldn't help it, and laughed.
"Miss can't laugh at the slave and maid anymore, the slave and the maid will never dare to do such a thing, if the prince knows that he has to drive me out, the slave and the maid's family will still point to me for this little monthly silver, don't you believe that you just ask the slave and the maid if they have ever done this kind of thing?" The little maid was in a hurry for a while, her face flushed, and she almost knelt down and begged for mercy immediately.
Ling'er and Ji Min stopped talking, and Ji Min said with a straight face: "I just told her that we are sisters, and she did what I wanted, who doesn't know about the roses in your Lingxi Courtyard."
Ling'er turned to the maid and said, "You can rest assured that you will go first, I know that you mean well, and I won't blame you."
The little maid walked away with peace of mind when she heard this, leaving only Ji Min and Ling'er standing by the rose bushes, one of them was bright like fire in red, and the other was soft and tactful in pink, and they were both spiritual, and Rao looked like sisters.
"But there is news, where is the place where the Liu family and the shopkeeper have this private meeting, and is it too late to go at this time? Ling'er asked anxiously.
"I bought a little girl who cleaned her room, I heard that the Liu family will go to Yanbo Lake tomorrow to put lanterns, this solar term is not the New Year's Festival, why suddenly have this plan, I think there must be a reason, I plan to look for you to see." Ji Min replied.
"That's a great idea, but it's a pity that it's not boring for just the two of us, and it's best to find another witness to be a witness." After all, Ling'er wanted to destroy the Liu family in one fell swoop, this old woman was the most vicious, if it weren't for her, her mother in this life might not be so miserable, it must be that she blew too much pillow wind in the ears of her cheap father on weekdays.
Ji Min pondered for a moment and shook his head and said, "I don't have an idea about this, my father will never go to Yanbo Lake, his old man has been busy with business recently, and ten out of twelve hours a day stay in the palace." The elder brother is useless, and even if he sees it, he doesn't dare to do anything. Not to mention the others, but if you think about it, who else can use it?"
It's not difficult to say this, but it's really not that simple to say, it's not just two ready-made ones right now, but Bai Dashan, as his uncle, is about to return to his hometown in a few days, if it is involved in the scandal of the Prime Minister's Mansion, then Ji Qian's little belly and chicken intestines will use some means, maybe something will go wrong. King Heng doesn't have to be afraid of Ji Qian's obscenity, but in her selfish heart, Ling'er still feels that no matter how unbearable the Liu family is, it is also her mother's family, and her mother's family is also shameless when she does such an ugly thing, so she doesn't plan to let King Heng know this. Suddenly, a figure came to mind, and if there was, he was right, "Sister, go back, tomorrow you and I will go to Yanbo Lake together to explore, you don't have to worry about other things for the time being, just leave it to my sister." ”
Ji Min looked at Ling'er's confident appearance, and had already guessed the ** score, this second sister was really the most attentive, and she didn't ask anymore, turned around and left.
Ling'er watched Ji Min's small figure go out of the corner door, the little girl with two buns in the past was already a big girl in the blink of an eye, and sent Ji Min Ling'er back to the pavilion, the two were drinking tea and playing chess. Seeing Ling'er holding a bouquet of roses in her hand, King Heng admonished: "This flower has the most thorns, but you like this, be careful to get it."
"My niece is a smart person, and what she likes, even if she knows that it may not be very suitable, but naturally there is a way to make the two run in, which is a hundred times stronger than her mother." Bai Dashan looked at Ling'er with satisfaction, and his eyes were full of pride.
On the second day, Ling'er had returned to the residence in the capital, which was Wang Jiuye's private residence, which was lent to everyone to live in because of Master Zheng Zhi. Last night, I found an excuse for King Heng to go back to his house to live, and when I got up in the morning, I thought about how to find an excuse to facilitate my actions at night.
As in the past, I went directly to the kitchen, made a few kinds of noodles such as wontons, dumplings, and flower rolls according to my own ideas, and boiled porridge with five grains, and Hu Dieyi served a good blood bird's nest stewed bird's nest as usual. After doing this, he personally took one to the master's room, and sent the rest to the senior brother and Dieyi's room by Qingxi and Nuo'er.
"Who?" The voice of the elder master Zheng Zhi came from the room, Ling'er couldn't help but sour his nose, he had ignored his old man these days, and sincerely reasoned that although his master had only been worshipping for a short time, he was much better than the old man.
"The apprentice came to send some breakfast to the master." Ling'er replied crisply, and her words were full of her daughter's closeness to her father.
"Come in quickly, why do you get up so early, the cook in this house is already very good, although you are a female doll is filial, but you still have to pay more attention to your body, be careful of being tired." Zheng Zhi looked at his little apprentice with concern, his face full of love.
"Master's ability to eat the breakfast made by the apprentice is a good start to my day, the apprentice is too late to be happy, where will I feel tired, don't say it, hurry up and taste today's dim sum is still in line with your old man's taste?" Ling'er obediently scooped up a wonton with a spoon and put it into the master's mouth. This wonton skin is hand-rolled, as thin as a piece of paper, and the meat filling inside is mixed with chopped green onions through a thin layer of skin that makes people salivate.
"It's really delicious, the old man has lived for most of his life, and he hasn't been late for such a delicious thing." I don't know if it's because I'm happy in my heart or if this wonton really fits the taste, Zheng Zhi is already smiling from ear to ear.
Ling'er was happy when she saw her master, and she was also happy. At this time, the door was pushed open from the outside with a "squeak", and it turned out that Zishan and Zilin heard Qingxi say that the junior sister came to bring something to the master, and the two of them also came over with their own breakfast to join in the fun.
"Master is really blessed, our food is still different, and your old man is very greedy to look at." Zilin looked at his bowl, and then at the wontons on the table.
"It's all the same thing, but I think that the master is already old, and the teeth are not very good, and the second senior brother is the most hypocritical, see if I make good food, you don't have to divide it?" Ling'er raised her little head, pouted and feigned anger.
"Zilin, don't mess around, if you make my sister angry, we won't have this fresh food anymore, and when the time comes, will you still pick and choose?" Zishan reproached his junior brother.
Zilin grinned and smirked, this scene provoked Master Zheng Zhi to look at his three apprentices happily, pushed out the bowl and said, "Even if you eat well, as long as it is made by Ling'er, it is good to eat for the teacher."
Zilin stopped joking, and the two of them happily ate the breakfast they brought. "Senior sister, do you have any plans today? Why don't we go to the Great Xiangguo Temple to incense, I heard that the incense is flourishing there, but I haven't been there for so long. Zishan said to Ling'er.
"Today is not possible, today's third day of the new year is the day of incense for the nobles, and it is not a day for us ordinary people to put incense, so I asked my female companion from the past to put the lights together." Ling'er replied.
Zishan thought about it, Daxiangguo Temple is expensive for the temple, naturally it is for the royal service, and it is normal for the day to have regulations at this time, so he will not say it again.
"Can you take me and my brother with you when you put on the lamp?" Zilin still wanted to go out and have a look.
"Yes, by the way, I will match my senior brother with relatives, isn't Master always thinking about it." Ling'er looked at Zilin with a smile, and the look in her eyes couldn't be narrower.
As soon as these words came out, Zishan and Zilin didn't open their mouths again, and the two of them found an excuse to hurry out after eating, lest the master really let him go with his sister. (To be continued.) )
