Chapter 388: Poisonous
After Su Zhenzhen left the palace, she had no choice but to do it, the Gao family was in power and the opposition, and she had made meritorious ministers since the last few generations, and the emperor sometimes had to give up three points, where could she really seek justice as a businessman.
In the hall, the emperor was rubbing his temples, as if he had suddenly thought of something, "How did Lord Gao know about the conversation between me and the two of them?" ”
When the father-in-law on one side heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground, supporting the ground with both hands, "Your Majesty, the minister didn't reveal a word." ”
The emperor glanced at the people in the hall, his face full of disgust, "You don't dare to say it." ”
The father-in-law bowed his head and said, "I only heard that the county lord and the princess met the tall man when they left the palace that day......"
There were many people in the palace, but the incident was by the emperor's side, so he took a sip of the warm porridge on the table, and then said, "You have to take care of those little eunuchs, don't lose your responsibility." ”
The father-in-law hurriedly agreed, got up and continued to serve the emperor.
In the afternoon, the prison cell in the palace was interrogating the guilty person, and Su Zhenzhen and the county lord sat in the county lord's mansion and did not watch the interrogation process.
Both of them understand that the tall man came to the door yesterday just to make a show, but the most helpless thing in the world is to know what's the use, and there is no way to know, just like a person who loves peach blossoms in spring, but the flowers will always wither and fall one day, and the flowing water will be gone, and it cannot be retained.
The county lord held Su Zhenzhen's hand and signaled for comfort, there was no way, the tall man was just to protect Gao Qiuye.
When a scapegoat appeared, all the evidence that she and Zhen Zhen had worked so hard to find was in vain, and the scene between the tall man and the scapegoat firmly condemned the man's desires to the crime.
Su Zhenzhen took the child from the handmaid, and looked at the child in her arms smiling and giggling, and couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed.
"I understand that the tall man is eager to protect his daughter, but I don't understand that she protects such a vicious daughter." Su Zhenzhen spoke slowly, "But I don't know if it will be good for him to protect the calf in the future, but I'm afraid that one day he will get angry because of Gao Qiuye." ”
"Not only Gao Qiuye's father, but also her mother, I don't believe that every time her crime can be taken down by others." The county lord couldn't help but clench his fists when he said this, "But the emperor is quite thoughtful, at least he has returned the innocence of you and the store." ”
Su Zhenzhen nodded. The child in her arms will play with Su Zhenzhen's handkerchief for a while, looking at the flowers on the handkerchief with round eyes, and carefully caressing the pattern with her little hands, looking curious; After a while, she felt that the stone table was fun, and rubbed her hand on the table, Su Zhenzhen saw that he was happy and helped him to stand on the stone table, and the child immediately muttered, "Fun, fun." ”
Wei Han happened to come back from the dart game, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the county lord's expression, so he asked Su Zhenzhen with his eyes.
Su Zhenzhen asked Wei Han to sit beside her, and Wei Han spoke, "How's the matter with Rouge?" When I came back from the market today, I heard that it was done by a man, and the emperor had already punished him with beheading. Wei Han wanted Su Zhenzhen to tell him the ins and outs of the matter.
Su Zhenzhen patiently explained, and came to the palace to see the emperor, meet Lord Gao by chance, and Lord Gao came to the county lord's mansion.
The county lord took the child in his arms and teased him incessantly.
Wei Han was also angry after hearing this, he slapped the table with a slap, the child stared blankly at the father in front of him, and the glutinous voice came into the ears of the person sitting on the stone chair, "It hurts, it hurts." ”
The county lord squeezed the child's hand and said softly, "Good, your father is amazing, it doesn't hurt." The child only rolled his big eyes, and his little hand lowered the corner of the county lord's sleeve in a well-behaved manner, "Really? ”
The county lord couldn't help but feel a little weak when he saw the child looking at her with his eyes open.
Su Zhenzhen spoke, "Don't be angry, the county lord and I have already looked down on it, and the emperor has severely punished that person, and also returned the innocence of me and the county lord, and then just do what you should do seriously." ”
"I'm sorry for you."
The word "uneven" also hit Su Zhenzhen's heart. She looked at her fingernails, and there was a hint of black between them, which had been left by studying the poisoned rouge. No matter how generous she is, she can't tolerate others framing her again and again, she used to frame her person, and now she still wants her business to fail, she heard the words in the market before, but the conscientiousness of the store will be talked about by the people in the market.
The child couldn't understand the conversation between adults, and probably felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he couldn't help crying, and tears rolled from the corners of his eyes to his mouth, which was distressing to watch.
"I'll coax her, you two talk first." The county lord got up and walked into the house with the child who was crying so much that his nose was dripping, "Good, don't cry, if you don't cry, I'll buy you candy to eat." ”
Wei Han only looked at Su Zhenzhen, I don't know what she is thinking now, before Su Zhenzhen was busy with pastries, she didn't have the energy to rest and was poisoned again, she didn't want him to worry, so she didn't tell him anything, and he didn't ask much, but now that he heard the ins and outs of the matter, the anger in his heart didn't know who to find for a while.
"By the way, I need to leave Beijing once, and it will probably take some days to go this time." Wei Han spoke again, and Su Zhenzhen also looked at Wei Han, wanting him to finish speaking.
"Didn't you say last time that you were going to play a game in the field? Need me to see the location, you're at home, don't always be busy with business. ”
Su Zhenzhen nodded, seeing that Wei Han's dart game was trusted by more and more people and could expand her career, she was also happy, "Pay attention to safety on the road and act carefully." ”
Su Zhenzhen tilted her head and added, "Remember to write back." ”
Wei Han's eyes were full of smiles, pinched Su Zhenzhen's small nose, said "um", and hugged Su Zhenzhen in his arms.
As soon as the county lord came out of the child's room, he saw the two people in the courtyard hugging each other, and subconsciously rubbed his arms with both hands, "Ahem." ”
Hearing the cough, the two hurriedly turned around, and when they saw the county lord standing behind them meaningfully, Su Zhenzhen couldn't help but be shy.
"I won't disturb your two-person world, the concubine is probably in a hurry to wait for me at home, I'll sneak back to eat first." The county lord grinned and blinked innocently.
Su Zhenzhen hugged the county lord and asked her to go back and eat more, she has been busy collecting evidence recently, and the two of them have not eaten well, and they have slept ...... No, I slept well.
After the county lord left, Su Zhenzhen asked Wei Han, "Leave tomorrow?" ”
Wei Han nodded, afraid that Su Zhenzhen would be reluctant, so he took her into his arms again.
Early this morning, Wei Han left.
In order to alleviate Su Zhenzhen's burden, Wei Han specially asked Wei Li before leaving, asking her to help Su Zhenzhen take care of the children during his absence from the county lord's mansion.
"It's so fragrant in the yard." As soon as Wei Li stepped into the door of the county lord's mansion, he smelled the fragrance of flowers, and the smell only made people feel a little drunk.
Walking into the courtyard, he saw osmanthus flowers drying on the steps, and the servant told Wei Li that it was Su Zhenzhen who used it to make pastries. The stamens of the little flowers sparkled in the sun, and the broken sunlight was like the ground covered with broken gold.
"Auntie, this is your room." In the past, Wei Li often came to take care of the pregnant Su Zhenzhen, Wei Li did not want the servants to call her Mrs., and later listened to Wei Han and Su Zhenzhen both call her aunt, and the servants also used to call Wei Li the eldest mother, "The girl went to the store today and is busy, and she will not come back until the evening." ”
Wei Li smiled and nodded to the servant, and entered the room, the floor was clean, the air was moist, the room was also bright, a few flowers were inserted in the vase on the table, which made the room more emotional, and the cabinet shelves were wiped clean, thinking that they had been carefully cleaned.
Putting down the package, Wei Li took a sip of tea and went out, turning around and walking to the child's room.
The child was being taken care of by the servant at the time, sitting on a chair eating bean paste cake, and when he saw Wei Li coming in, the child pointed at Wei Li with the pastry, and called softly, "Grandma." ”
Wei Li responded happily, and picked up the child and praised him, "It's so good, so polite." Then he turned to the servant on the side and said, "I'll take care of him, and you go and do your work." ”
"Is this delicious?" When talking to children, the tone of the adult can't help but soften, "If it's delicious, give it to grandma." ”
"It's delicious." The child said and broke a piece of bean paste cake and wanted to send it to Wei Li's mouth.
Wei Li took care of the child carefully, thought about everything, the child also liked Wei Li, the two of them got along, and the whole room was filled with laughter.
At this time, Su Zhenzhen was still training her subordinates to make pastries in the store.
"There's no honey left." A man turned his head to look at Su Zhenzhen.
"You go buy it, bring some raisins and candied fruit by the way, and by the way, go to the shop on the west side of the market to buy them." Su Zhenzhen looked at the cage of pastries in front of her, and it looked good on the surface.
And raw materials such as honey should be prepared in advance, rather than waiting until they run out to buy in a hurry.
"Let me come." Su Zhenzhen saw that the subordinates next to her were slowly mixing flour, nodded vigorously, and the upper and lower eyelids seemed to be fighting, so she simply took over the work in his hands and asked him to look at the pastries that were still steaming in the cauldron.
"What were you doing out last night?" Su Zhenzhen asked.
"Something happened at home, and I haven't paid attention to it lately." The subordinate muttered.
Su Zhenzhen turned to him with flour and said, "Cheer up, your cage of pastry is about to be cooked." ”
One day in the store, when she watched them make pastries, Su Zhenzhen found that they still had a lot of details in the making.
For example, the technique has not been practiced to the extent of being crisp and neat, and several men have to grind and grind when they do things; For example, the degree of care for each pastry is different, some carefully prepare each material, and some are hasty; For example, the taste of the pastry is not mouth-watering enough, and those who taste it find it uninteresting in the aftertaste.
Still no, Su Zhenzhen thought in her heart, there was still too much gap between her and what she had thought in advance.
When the men who bought the honey came back, Su Zhenzhen told them to stop what they were doing.
"You're too rough with your work." Su Zhenzhen spoke, "For a pastry, the production process is meticulous, and it should be limited to small sections; When it comes to the appearance of pastries, everyone likes beautiful things; Not to mention in taste. Don't you understand the truth of color, flavor, and flavor until now? ”
After saying this, Su Zhenzhen asked them to continue their work, and at the same time she patiently guided them one by one.
Su Zhenzhen was busy correcting the way her men made it, and at the same time, Gao Qiuye, who was staying in the suburban house, began to get impatient.
"Did Wei Han really leave the capital?" Gao Qiuye asked the personal maidservant, although it was a questioning tone, but there seemed to be something planned in his eyes.
"Really, the slave got up early and went back to the city and bumped into Wei Han just out of the city gate." The handmaiden looked at the high autumn leaves.
"Did you see him going in any direction?"
"Just south of the city."
The corners of Gao Qiuye's mouth rose, looking at the maidservant, and the two tacitly went back to the room to pack their clothes, but after a while, they slipped out of the courtyard.
In order to catch up with Wei Han, the two hurried non-stop.
"Huh~" Wei Han heard the sound of horses barking behind him, and when he turned around and saw Gao Qiuye and her maidservant, his sword eyebrows became tighter and tighter.
Gao Qiuye saw Wei Han in front of him looking back, so he chased after him excitedly, came to Wei Han's side and glanced at the brother on the other side of Wei Han, with a look of disdain.
