The Western Capital is in a stormy Chapter 18: A small workshop in the Shaofu
Chun Tao thought she was wronged, she tossed and turned in the side room next to the princess's palace and couldn't sleep, "I'm holding grievances for the princess, but the princess blames me in turn, what kind of truth is this?" No, if this continues, the princess will definitely send me out of the house!" ”
When Chun Tao put on her coat and went to the princess's palace, the tray on the table was no longer there, and when she looked inside, the princess of the country was sleeping fragrantly, and the eldest princess still did not sleep behind the screen, but rubbed her forehead and sighed from time to time.
Chun Tao walked over and said softly: "Princess, the slave knows that she is wrong, don't be angry, the slave will send it again." ”
Li Jin waved his hand and said, "You go and rest, I have my own plans." ”
Chun Tao knelt on the ground and said: "If the princess is angry with the slave maid, she will beat me twice to get angry, and you will feel distressed when you hold the slave maid like this." ”
Li Jin said: "I don't blame you, you are the person next to me, how can I not know you, you are loyal I know, I know that I can't listen to others talk about my badness, but I shouldn't be petty, and even forget my explanation." ”
"Slave and maid have written it down, princess, don't be angry."
"I'm having a headache, so I'm not going to do your job."
Chun Tao got up and said, "Then the slave will help you rub it." ”
Li Jin nodded, and Chun Tao sat behind her, gently rubbing Li Jin's aching head.
When Li Jin's headache eased a little, he gradually fell asleep.
After breakfast in the morning, Li Jin took Si Qianru to find Liang Zhou, she made a move last night, she completely knocked Liang Zhou unconscious, and indiscriminately drugged him before going out, the task assigned by the princess is really getting more and more strange.
Si Qianru kicked the door open and asked loudly, "Liang Zhou, are you up?" Is it pig-like? So sleepy! Yes! Where did the stinky rascals come from! ”
Li Jin heard the sound and asked, "What's the matter, Qianru?" ”
Si Qianru ran out in a panic and said, "He hasn't gotten up yet, let's come back later." ”
Li Jindao: "Let's go to Shaofu today, call him to leave, why wait a little longer?" You shake him awake. ”
Si Qianru blushed a little and said, "I'm not going!" ”
Li Jin said to Mama Gui: "Let's bother Mama to go." ”
Mama Gui glanced at Si Qianru's face, maybe the four girls saw something that they shouldn't see.
Mama Gui walked in, and after a while, Liang Zhou, who was inside, followed Mama Gui out sleepily.
"Why, so early."
"Go to Shaofu, don't you want to see the process of making salt?"
Liang Zhou rubbed his eyes and said, "Go now?" Walk around, I'd like to see how you guys make salt here. ”
Si Qianru pursed her lips and said, "It's as if you're not from here." ”
"Okay, why do you quarrel when you meet, you only whipped him twice yesterday, and he didn't care about you, why don't you look down on him even more?"
"Hell knows!"
The group took a carriage to the Shaofu Prison, and the Young Eunuch Pu Wen caught him and led him to the living room to serve tea.
After the tea, Pu Wen asked, "I wonder what the princess needs to come over today?" If you need anything, the lower official will go and get it for the princess. ”
Li Jin said: "The young eunuch misunderstood, Li Jin didn't come to dig the foot of the wall today. ”
Pu Wen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The princess said that she laughed, Shaofu is exclusively for the expenses of the royal family, how can you say that you can't dig the foot of the wall, who doesn't use it." ”
Li Jin had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said: "The young eunuch is polite, I came here today to visit Uncle Huang, but I only found out after asking that Uncle Huang has been unwell recently and did not come to Shaofu." ”
Pu Wen smiled and said: "If the princess wants to visit, she still has to go to the Hongnong Palace, since the princess is fine, then the lower officials will go to be busy, the princess please take care of herself." ”
"Wait, Young Eunuch Pu, although Li Jin came to visit Uncle Huang today, he also asked his old man for help in a trivial matter, since Uncle Huang is not here, the entire Shaofu will be counted by Young Eunuch Pu, it is better to bother Young Eunuch Pu once, I don't know if Young Eunuch Pu is willing?"
Pu Wen stopped, turned around and stretched his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Serving the princess is the blessing of the lower officials, but I am afraid that the lower official position is lowly and will not be able to help the princess." ”
"It's really a trivial matter, for the young eunuch, it's just a gesture."
"Oh? Then I don't know what the princess wants to help the officials? ”
Li Jindao: "I heard that there is a salt-making workshop in the Shaofu Prison, and I want to go there to have a look, but I don't know if it's convenient or not. ”
Pu Wen frowned, what is this princess doing? What to see in the workshop? Could it be that something is wrong in the workshop? But even if there is a problem, it is not her turn to be a princess.
Pu Wen pondered for a moment and said, "The princess wants to go, and the lower officials are willing to accompany her, so the princess please." ”
Li Jin smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Young Eunuch." ”
At that moment, Pu Wen took Li Jin, Si Qianru, Gui Mama and Liang Zhou to the salt workshop in Shaofu, which was actually very small, and the things piled up in it were messy, and only an old couple were busy there.
After Pu Wen arrived, the two knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Pu Wen, Pu Wenli ignored it and walked over directly, Li Jin who followed behind him didn't say anything, but Liang Zhou went over and helped the two up.
"Get up, the princess said, we don't kneel in the Northern Zhou."
Si Qianru snorted and said, "You will do good deeds under the guise of a princess." ”
"Why are you everywhere?"
"Whoever told you to offend me, I pay attention to you all the time, as long as I have the opportunity, I will hurt you!"
Liang Zhou rolled his eyes and said, "I thank you for remembering me so much, but your temper is obviously proportional to your chest. ”
Si Qianru was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"It's huge."
Si Qianru gritted her teeth and said, "Liang Zhou! I don't think you want to live anymore! ”
Liang Zhouluo slipped into the room, joking, did he stay where he was and wait to be beaten after committing a cheap crime?
Li Jin saw Liang Zhou running in, and said angrily: "Can't you stop for a while? There are still injuries on her back, you don't want to provoke her like this, do you? ”
"Princess, I'm really wronged, if she doesn't stab me, can I encourage her?"
"What a mess, I just want you to stop provoking her, or you don't meet in the future, it gives me a headache."
Mama Gui glared at Liang Zhoudao: "You are used to being weird, the slave girl grew up watching the fourth young lady, before I didn't know you, it was always a well-behaved and obedient child, and now I am being teased by you, where is there still a girl?" ”
Liang Zhou snorted and said, "Can you blame me for this?" Maybe she's like this, I'm just stimulating her true colors, and a slap doesn't make a sound, you only say I'm alone, and it's too obvious to pull the bias! ”
Li Jin pursed his lips and smiled, "You have only been in the house for more than a month, Qianru and I have grown up together since childhood, Mama Gui is not facing her, will she be facing you?" ”
"Co-author, you're helping your relatives and not taking care of them, right? Well, I can see through you, my heart is cold. ”
Mama Gui smiled and said, "Look, if you are making trouble there, the slave and maid have not wronged you." ”
When Si Qianru followed, she saw Liang Zhou's constipated expression, she didn't know what they said, and she was naturally happy to see Liang Zhou deflated.
"Princess, this is the salt workshop."
Pu Wen let go of his body and let Li Jin and the others into the house, where there were a lot of poisonous salt stones, and the pot was still boiling with salt water, and the house emitted a bad smell.
Li Jin took a sip, suddenly felt uncomfortable in his chest, and quickly dragged Mama Gui, who helped her out of the house first.
Li Jin said: "Liang Zhou, you go in and have a look." ”
The corners of Liang Zhou's mouth hooked, and he was about to go inside with the curtain, but Pu Wen crossed his hand and said: "The salt workshop belongs to the secrets of the imperial court, and the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, it doesn't hurt to take a look, who are you?" Dare to rush inside? ”
As soon as Liang Zhou was about to scold him, he heard Li Jin say: "Originally, I also wanted him to go in and take a look, I'm a blind princess, I can't see anything, how can I take a look?" ”
Pu Wen's face is not very good-looking, he originally thought that the eldest princess was blind, and she didn't know how to make salt, and coming here was nothing more than turning around, but now it seems that the one who really needs to be wary of is this one!
Pu Wen said: "Your Royal Highness the princess, if it is not for the lower officials to shirk it, this matter is very important, and the lower officials really dare not let him in privately." ”
Li Jindao: "This princess originally didn't want to do business, but since this princess has no face here as a young eunuch, she has to ask her father to call the shots!" ”
Pu Wen was stunned for a moment and said, "The princess is angry, and I also ask the princess to read the love." ”
"Qianru."
When Si Qianru saw Li Jin calling her, she stretched out her hand again, presumably asking for the gold medal given by the emperor, so she quickly took out the gold medal and put it in her hand.
Li Jin touched the gold medal, confirmed that it was this thing, handed it forward, and said: "The young eunuch may wish to take a look, the princess's face is not enough, and the face of the father and the emperor, the young eunuch will not give it." ”
Pu Wen had a guess from Si Qianru when he respectfully delivered the gold medal to Li Jin, and now Li Jin was holding the corner of the gold medal, revealing the four big characters behind him, Pu Wen hurriedly said: "Pu Wen, the young eunuch of the minister's house, ask the saint An!" ”
Li Jin replied: "Holy bow, get up." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Pu Wen smiled bitterly and said: "Since the princess has His Majesty's gold medal, just look at it, why bother to embarrass the lower officials and let the lower officials be villains in vain." ”
"Although Li Jin is a princess, he also knows the responsibility of the monarch and the minister, the young eunuch is upright, and the princess has nothing to say, so she has to ask for her father's token and ask the young eunuch to buy a favor."
"Can you get in now?"
Pu Wen sighed and stepped out of the way.
After Liang Zhou went in, he looked at the two basins on the ground, one was yellow-brown inside, and the other was black inside, Liang Zhou sniffed it and nodded.
"Although this salt workshop is a little smaller, there are all the processes that should be there, which are complicated and complicated, what can you understand with a doll?"
Liang Zhou's behavior was mercilessly ridiculed by Pu Wen, and the most important thing was that Liang Zhou even looked down on his salt making method, and said: "It's just a rough well salt making method, the two brine are blended in proportion to remove the toxic components in the poisonous salt, and the rest naturally becomes the coarse salt you eat." ”
"You, you, you! How do you know the secret of my dynasty? Pu Wen saw that Liang Zhou only looked at it twice, and he knew the trick of making salt after smelling it, how could he not be frightened?
Li Jin asked Si Qianru in a whisper, "Is he right?" ”
Si Qianru said with a solemn face: "It should be so, otherwise Young Eunuch Pu's expression would definitely not be so exciting." ”
The cold sweat on Pu Wen's face gradually increased, and after a while, he remembered something, and knelt on the ground with a puff to kowtow to Li Jin, and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you have to testify on behalf of the lower official, the minister has never revealed a word, it was completely guessed by him, and he really doesn't do the business of the lower official!" ”
Li Jin listened to Pu Wen's tearful voice and said, "Young Eunuch, you get up first, I don't know why you are afraid?" Is it because Liang Zhou is right about your salt-making process? ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, it has been a sin to bring someone into the salt making workshop without permission, and now that this salt-making formula has been leaked again, the lower officials are afraid that their lives will be difficult to protect!"
Liang Zhou said: "So serious? Then why are you mocking me? If you don't owe me, can you uncover your bottom? ”
Pu Wen smiled bitterly, how could this be blamed on my head? It's over, it's all over this time!
