Chapter 47: Rain and dust out of the palace
Meng Yuchen explained, "That's Lin Ji pastry, the boss used to make pastries for the emperor or nobles in the palace, and the pastries she made were delicious and memorable." Because it is a family secret recipe, she is the only one who can make it, and she never accepts apprentices, so she makes very few things, and it is also very popular. She only sells one day a month, one box per person, and she never accepts individual orders from the rich and powerful, she said; She wants everyone to taste her pastries, and if you want to buy them, you have to line up according to the rules, and if anyone dares to break the rules, she won't sell them, but on this day of the month, as long as you go to the line, you can buy them. Because she had served nobles in the palace, and no one wanted to cause public anger, no one broke her rules. ”
Hunger marketing? Leng Yue thinks this person is really smart! This not only increases the value of the product, but also raises her own value. It's really a double win.
Meng Xingchen couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he heard what he said, and muttered, "It seems to taste what it tastes like!" ”
When Leng Yue heard this, she immediately stood up and said, "You guys wait for me here, I'll be back in half an hour." ”
Meng Xingchen was very moved, but she still persuaded her distressedly, "Wife, forget it." That's a long line! ”
It may not be possible to queue until dark, how can she be in line for half an hour? Besides, he was a little reluctant to let her suffer that sin.
Leng Yue gave him a reassuring look, "You guys just wait for the pastries." Trust me, I'll be back soon. With that, he left confidently.
Meng Xingchen was too curious about the taste of the pastry, so he didn't stop her anymore. Just looking at her back, there was a lot of happiness in her eyes.
Leng Yue never dreamed that because of this half an hour, it caused her and Meng Xingchen irreparable pain in their lives...
Leng Yue came to Lin Ji Pastry, found a person who was relatively high in the queue and looked honest, and said to her, "This sister, can you sell me your place?" ”
The woman looked at her with a puzzled expression, and Leng Yue immediately explained to her, "That's the case, when I went out in the morning, I promised to buy this Lin Ji cake for my husband to go back for afternoon tea, but you see it's noon now, if I haven't been able to buy it back for him, then he will have to go hungry." ”
Seeing that the woman was a little hesitant, Leng Yue continued, "If you are willing to give in, then I will compensate you with fifty taels of silver." If you're not in a hurry, you can go back to the back of the queue and wait a little longer. ”
As soon as the woman heard this, her eyes lit up, fifty taels? That's a year's worth of her income! hurriedly said to Leng Yue, "Okay!" Good! Good! I see that the girl loves her husband, so I will give you the place. ”
The others also looked at Leng Yue with incredulous expressions. Isn't this person too rich, and the people in front of the woman have some regrets, why didn't this girl ask them just now!
Leng Yue said to her, "Thank you, sister, for your fulfillment." ”
took out a piece of fifty taels from her bosom and gave it to her, "Then please ask my sister to go to the back and line up again." ”
The woman took the silver with a smile on her face, "Okay, then I wish the girl and your husband love and love for a long time!" After speaking, he took the silver given by Leng Yue and walked away under the envious eyes of everyone.
After Leng Yue thanked her, she also lined up happily...
At the same time, listening to Yulou, Sikong Mu walked in with a group of people, as soon as she came in, she saw Meng Xingchen and Meng Yuchen, her eyes would not turn, she looked at them directly, the hara in her mouth kept flowing out, and she muttered in her mouth: "Beautiful!" It's so beautiful, it's still two, it seems that God thinks I should be blessed with boundless beauty, and sent me these two beauties..."
Ouyang Qi of women's clothing was directly ignored by her.
Because she didn't get well from the previous two banquets, she didn't go, and Meng Yuchen rarely went out before, so she didn't recognize them.
She wiped her hair, and walked in front of Meng Xingchen obscenely and flatteringly, "Little beauty, we meet again, we are still really fated, during this time, I think about you day and night, and I can't sleep at night!" ”
With the lesson of the last time, this time she directly let people blast out the people in the teahouse. That way, she thought, no one else knew what she wanted to do.
Meng Xingchen's face turned pale with fright, Meng Yuchen blocked him behind him, frowned in disgust, and said coldly to Sikong Mu, "We already have a wife, and please respect the girl." ”
Sikong Mu was stunned for a moment, and then said disapprerovingly, "It's okay to have a wife, don't you have it if I kill her?" ”
It's not like she's never done this before. Besides, she was trying to settle accounts with the woman who cheated her money! If their wife is her, then he can just kill her and rob her husband, so that not only can he take revenge, but he can also hold the beauty, which is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and said to Meng Yuchen with a smile, "If you go back with me obediently, I can let you two be my husbands!" Such a good thing, but no one else can ask for it."
As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and touch him, but a cold light flashed in Meng Yuchen's eyes, and he hit the ground with one palm, if he didn't want to cause trouble for his wife, he would have killed her based on her rude behavior just now.
Although Meng Yuchen's palm was not heavy, it was enough for her to bear, and Sikong Mu felt that his chest was particularly painful. plus he knocked him to the ground and lost face. So she was furious, she really toasted and didn't eat and drink, and said to the guard, "Help me catch the two of them for me..."
After hearing this, the guards immediately rushed up, and immediately fought with Meng Yuchen Ouyang Qi, at this time, a group of black-clothed masked people suddenly appeared, they desperately attacked Meng Yuchen, surrounded him in the middle, and the desperate way of playing made Meng Yuchen unable to get out, Ouyang Qi also fought with the guards inseparably, the whole teahouse was broken and flying, and the wailing continued...
Sikong Mu saw that Meng Yuchen's martial arts were too high, and he knew that he couldn't please him, so he quietly got up and wanted to leave, but he saw Meng Xingchen standing aside as if he was scared stupid, a trace of calculation flashed in his eyes, he walked behind Meng Xingchen and knocked him unconscious with a palm, and left with him...
The fight is still in full swing here, and no one has noticed this scene at all, although Meng Yuchen's martial arts are high, but the good hands are difficult to defeat the four punches, so there is no way to take these killers at once.
The killer saw that Meng Yuchen's martial arts were too high, and he was in a hurry, and he fought even harder, this time they received a death order, and they must kill this person with all their might. If the mission fails, they will all die when they go back.
Their crazy playing style made it particularly difficult for Meng Yuchen to deal with. When he was almost unable to hold it out, Wufeng, the leader of the palace guards, suddenly appeared and joined the battle with her men.
Since receiving His Majesty's order, she has always led people to guard five miles behind Leng Yue and them, so as not to disturb their lives and protect their safety.
Originally, since that night, this time has been relatively calm, who would have thought that this group of people would appear again today. And what disturbed her the most was that she had worked hard for so long and couldn't find out the origin of this group of people.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more ruthless she became, and soon, more than half of the masked men in black were killed by them, and then her offensive began to weaken, and today, she said that she would leave a living mouth.
And the masked man in black also understood her intentions, and then stopped attacking, and after looking at each other, he immediately killed himself by biting the poison.
This made Wufeng vomit blood in anger. But there is nothing to be done. It's just that the fear in my heart is getting bigger and bigger. If something like this happens again. Not only will the empress be furious, but Leng Yue will also question the royal ability. And her good days are over.
The guards who fought with Ouyang saw that the scene was too terrifying, and most of them had quietly fled during the fight. The rest were either beaten to death by Ouyang Qi, or they were crippled on the ground and couldn't get up.
Looking at the masked black-clothed corpse on the ground, and the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Meng Yuchen said to Wufeng, "I'll leave it to you, clean up the place at this time." ”
Wufeng nodded, and began to order people to clean up the scene, looking at the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion who fell to the ground and wailed, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. But he didn't say much, just asked people to send them to the government. She thought it would be more appropriate for the government to handle the matter.
After Meng Yuchen finished speaking, he ignored her and looked up to find Meng Xingchen's figure, he thought, seeing such a scene, Meng Xingchen must have been frightened.
But he looked around and didn't see Meng Xingchen, and he was shocked. opened his mouth and asked, "What about Xingchen?" ”
Ouyang Qi listened to his words and looked around, but he didn't see Meng Xingchen's shadow at all.
This situation made everyone anxious, and they immediately began to look around. They all prayed in their hearts that he must not have an accident, otherwise Leng Yue would definitely go crazy...
Because they were in too much of a hurry, everyone ignored Sikong Mu, and they all unanimously guessed that it must be the black-clothed masked man in the shadows who quietly took Meng Xingchen away while they were fighting.
Wufeng also discovered the seriousness of the matter, and immediately ordered people to look around, Meng Yuchen went to track down the whereabouts of the black-clothed masked man, and asked Ouyang Qi to immediately find Leng Yue...
When Ouyang Qi came to Lin Ji Pastry, he saw Leng Yue walking out with the pastry in his hand, and when he saw him, he shook the pastry in his hand with a smile, "Derpy melon is really impatient, I'm in a hurry now, and I asked you to come to me." ”
Ouyang Qi saw her smile so brightly, he was really reluctant to let this smile disappear from her face, but the urgency of the situation didn't allow him not to say, "Brother-in-law Xingchen is gone, Brother-in-law Yuchen went to find him, and asked me to come to you..."
The pastry in Leng Yue's hand fell to the ground, and she grabbed his hand in a panic, "Missing?" What is the meaning? What does it mean to be missing? ”
Ouyang Qi told her what happened at that time, Leng Yue's expression became colder and colder with his words, and the cold on his body continued to leak out, and he turned around and quickly walked towards Tingyu Tower...
