Chapter 37: Reunion
"Knock knock knock......" Song Xinshu picked up the drum hammer outside the yamen and struck the drum again.
"Who is it, make a time here, I don't know if it's the rest time for adults, if there is something, come back tomorrow morning, adults have already rested today." The keeper of the night vigil was woken up, and when he came out, he saw Song Xinshu, a female streamer, and he was very impatient.
Women are not treated anywhere, they can only rely on their sons and husbands to appear noble, and if they can do it by themselves, they are all heroes in this era.
"Adult, the little girl is wronged, if the adult doesn't see the little girl tonight, the little girl will be in a different place tomorrow, and forget that the adult is the master of the little girl!" Song Xinshu has seen a lot, and knows that the more serious he is at the moment, the more important the government can pay attention to.
Before dawn, the drum was beaten, which could not be suppressed by a few simple words, the night watchman who spoke also had the attitude of trying, if Song Xinshu no longer insisted, then it should be okay and continue to sleep, now that he can't send Song Xinshu away, he can only inform Zhang Guodong.
Zhang Guodong and Fan's husband and wife both slept late because of Song Xinshu's incident, and the two of them were older and slept relatively lightly, so Song Xinshu's big drum just sounded, and the two of them woke up.
Fan hurriedly got up and helped Zhang Guodong get dressed, as a local parent official, he had to take care of some things, which also showed from the side that Zhang Guodong was a good official.
When the night watchman came to the door of Zhang Guodong and Fan, Fan had already lit the lamp, and by candlelight, Fan helped Zhang Guodong put on his official uniform.
"Every day, the grievances of the common people are getting more and more, and these families are becoming more and more unwanted." Zhang Guodong scolded in a low voice.
Fan didn't answer, she knew something about it, but Fan still didn't understand the Tao in it, and there was no need to get involved.
"Master, there is a woman outside the door who asks to see her, if you don't want to see her, I'll drive her away." The night watchman said outside Zhang Guodong's door.
"Woman?" Zhang Guodong repeated in a low voice, these two days are all women.
"Let her wait, and I'll be out in a minute." Zhang Guodong commanded.
The night watchman was interested, and left slowly, and then went to see Song Xinshu.
"Girl, you follow me to the lobby and wait, and the master will come out in a while." The Night's Watch whispered.
Song Xinshu nodded after hearing this, in this ancient period, the people in this family couldn't help, although her husband was said to be a general, but now he can't help himself, he can only rely on himself.
Song Xinshu cheered himself up, followed the night watchman, walked all the way, walked to a reception room in the yamen, and did not go to the lobby, the main reason is that it is night, and all the catchers are temporarily summoned to come, not so quickly, so Zhang Guodong can only understand the specific things first, and make arrangements for the next things.
Song Xinshu arrived in the living room, and the night watchman asked Song Xinshu to sit down, but Song Xinshu did not refuse.
After a while, this Zhang Guodong came over with his subordinates.
Song Xinshu is not stupid, it seems that he is a person, his bearing is extraordinary, and the breath of a superior person is very strong, so he knows that this is the Taishou of Jinling City, and hurriedly gestures towards Zhang Guodong.
"My lord, please call the shots for the people's daughters." Song Xinshu said very sadly.
I can't help Song Xinshu not grieve, when he first came to Jinling City, he had not opened the market, his husband left home, bought something and was harassed by hooligans again and again, and finally found out the way, but he was taken by Zhuang Bing of Subei Tea House, and wanted to make a formula, Song Xinshu was full of ambition, but he was about to die before he could do it, which made Song Xinshu not grieving.
Sadness came from it, Song Xinshu also burst into tears, thinking that after her husband was a general, she must not fall in this place.
"You take your time, what is it that will make you feel different." Zhang Guodong said softly.
Song Xinshu wiped away his tears and began to tell the story, narrating everything from entering Jinling City to being kidnapped by Zhuang Bing of the Northern Jiangsu Tea House, and then to being imprisoned in Jinling.
"The recipe of your milk tea is really researched by yourself, and it has never been copied from anywhere, can you guarantee this?" Zhang Guodong asked in a deep voice.
How can Song Xinshu not guarantee that this is the product of many years beyond ancient times, even if the ancients are whimsical, this still needs a process, so for confirming that it is his own invention of milk tea, Song Xinshu replied bluntly: "Now no one can make it except me, even if it is an imitation of mine, it is not good." ”
The main focus of this milk tea is sugar, Song Xinshu uses modern knowledge to extract the ancient sucrose again, this taste is completely different, this is something that no one can detect, this method is not even known to Aja, after all, this matter is still less than one person knows the safer, this modern protection of knowledge, Song Xinshu is still in place.
The imitation of milk tea will appear, but how to imitate, in terms of the current raw materials, Song Xinshu is absolutely confident, and no one can imitate it.
Zhang Guodong was relieved when he heard this.
Song Xinshu entered Jinling City and suffered a lot, and he was also his subject, but now he was framed, Zhang Guodong blamed himself and hated Zhuang Bing at the same time, but because of the forces behind him, he knew that even if he arrested Zhuang Bing, the final result would be to let him go.
But hearing what happened to Song Xinshu, Zhang Guodong decided that even if he was just disgusted for a while, he should let him know that the people of Jinling City are not something you can frame at will.
Zhang Guodong didn't tell Song Xinshu these thoughts, but just replied: "Today, I will seriously investigate what you say, as for you, now I suggest that you live in the old man's house temporarily, so as to ensure your safety, I don't know what the girl thinks." ”
Song Xinshu was overjoyed after hearing this, this is not the result he wants, and the rest can only take one step at a time.
Zhang Guodong then instructed his subordinates to help Song Xinshu prepare the guest room, and Song Xinshu really unloaded his burden this time and was ready to rest.
On the second day, Song Xinshu was still asleep, and someone outside the door shouted softly: "Miss Song, Mrs. has called you to dinner." It turned out that Fan asked Song Xinshu to go out to eat.
Fan's tutoring is very strict, which leads to Fan's very strict mealtime, everyone should eat together, not lazy, these are some good traditional habits.
Song Xinshu heard the sound outside and knew that he was going to ask her to eat, so he got up quickly, washed up, and Song Xinshu came to Fan's drink in front of Zhang Guodong with the maid leading the way.
"Girl, we're meeting again, come over for dinner." Fan was very friendly and greeted Song Xinshu.
Song Xinshu had long known that Fan was Mrs. Taishou, and he didn't recognize her, so she said politely: "Madam, good morning, good morning, good morning, adult." ”
Zhang Guodong smiled with a smile on his face: "Come over and eat, my family doesn't talk about so many rules." ”
Zhang Guodong said this, but Song Xinshu couldn't take it seriously, following the ancient adage that women were silent when eating, when eating, they only stared at the dishes in front of them, and when they ate, they also swallowed in small bites, and Fan and Zhang Guodong, who were watching, nodded frequently.
After the meal, the people cleaned up the dishes, and Song Xinshu was about to help, but was stopped by Fan, "Let the maids be busy, you tell me what's going on, my lord told me last night but didn't make it clear." ”
Song Xinshu knew that Zhang Guodong was afraid that Fan's would know too many sad things and affect Fan's mood, so Song Xinshu had to pick up some inconsequential things and tell Fan, even so, Fan's eyes were still filled with tears, "It's really hard for you." ”
Song Xinshu didn't know how to answer.
Zhang Guodong, who was sitting on the side, spoke, "I told you not to ask so much, you have to ask, and you can't stand it if you ask, why bother?" Zhang Guodong sighed that he knew his wife best, she was very kind, but she was really good to him, so Zhang Guodong also loved her very much.
Song Xinshu didn't know how to comfort Fan, so he had to whisper: "Madame, don't you get in the way, aren't I here now?" ”
Fan glanced at Song Xinshu, but there were more tears in his eyes.
Zhang Guodong couldn't stand it, so he simply left, Fan and Song Xinshu whispered, Song Xinshu and Fan's willpower chatted, but they were very anxious in their hearts, and they didn't go home for three days, how is this Ah Ya and Wu Xiuyuan now, I ran away yesterday, and today Ah Ja and Wu Xiuyuan will not have an accident.
Fan looked at Song Xinshu's face was not quite right, as if he had something to say, so he asked: "What's the matter, Xinshu, is there something?" ”
Song Xinshu hurriedly said what he was worried about.
After hearing this, Fan also understood, and there was no nonsense, so he directly told the little guy and asked Zhang Guodong to send someone to take Wu Xiuyuan and Aja to the house and reunite with Song Xinshu.
Song Xinshu's tears of emotion flowed down immediately, "Madam, you are so good to me." ”
On the other hand, after Zhuang Bing drank the milk tea, when he wanted to drink it again, if he didn't have it, he had to ask Song Xinshu to hand over the formula, or make a few cups now.
But when the people sent to see it, there was no one in the room for a long time, and the people ran away.
In an instant, the banker's compound was in chaos, everyone began to look for it, Zhuang Bing was angry, and directly broke several cups, and scolded everyone very angrily: "I can't even look at a woman, let her escape from under her nose." ”
After a search, in the end there was no result, but at the gate found a piece of cloth that Song Xinshu was hung up, and concluded that this Song Xinshu slipped out quietly, and suddenly Zhuang Bing scolded again, the personnel on duty last night, all received punishments, and the specific punishment items Zhuang Bing did not say, but it was enough for them to take off a layer of skin.
"Now everyone goes out to find me, and I will be rewarded for finding Song Xinshu."
Everyone immediately smiled, as long as they found Song Xinshu, there would be a large reward, such a good thing was rare in a few years, this Zhuang Bing was finally reluctant.
