Chu Hong looked at the empty tea house, and said gloomily: "Let's have a bowl of tea soup." ”

"What kind of tea soup does the little lady want, the small shop has grandma tea, jasmine tea, Qibao tea....."

"Jasmine tea."

"Hey, I'll be here soon, the little lady wants some more dry food?"

"No, by the way, your family ......."

Before she finished speaking, Wen Shu opened the curtain from behind and came in: "Sister-in-law, there is only that flour left in the back room, is there any ........?"

"Wen Shu!"

"Chu Hong!"

"Why are you here?!"

"When will you be back?"

............

Half a quarter of an hour later, Chu Hong rushed out of the tea shed and said to the man on the opposite side of the official road: "Fourth uncle, I won't go back to Cangzhou, you take them back first."

"Nonsense! Hurry up and get on the horse, so many people are waiting. ”

"No, fourth uncle, you just let me stay for two more days, and the third uncle will not go to Beijing in two days, and I will go back with him then, it's okay."

"How can you say that the wind is the rain, your third uncle will not arrive until the day after tomorrow, how can I rest assured that you are alone in Beijing for the past two days."

"How can you not worry, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the peaceful and prosperous world, can still make people captive. Besides, there is another courtyard in our city, and the next person, it's a big deal, I won't go out with two people. ”

"Then how are you going to go back today?"

"Let's go back."

"If Fourth Uncle Chu is not at ease, I can send Fourth Girl Chu back." Wen Shu came out of the tea shed and smiled at the man.

Chu Jiang recognized that she was the little lady who treated Chu Xin in Cangzhou, and his heart was slightly relieved, and Chu Hong's attitude was resolute when he saw him, and it was not too early, they still had to hurry, so he could only helplessly say a few words to Chu Hong, and then took someone away.

As soon as he left, Chu Hong immediately became happy, took Wen Shu's hand and said, "Now you can always take me around." ”

"You've been here for so long, and you've never been anywhere?"

"I've been to two places, the Mahang Street Night Market and the Alum Building."

"Just these two places."

"That's right, when I first entered Beijing, I learned that you were missing, where are you still in the mood to play around, you don't know, for you, I went to the Hou Mansion to beg Lu Xing to be late." Chu Hong invited merit.

"Miss Lu." Wen Shu paused, turned his head and wondered: "What do you ask her to do, she is a beautiful lady, she doesn't go out of the door, and she can't step out of the second door, and she can help you find someone." ”

"She can't, her brother can." Chu Hong said proudly: "Lu Dalang is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and their family is a Houmen noble, who has been rooted in the capital for a long time, and his hands and eyes are better than me, a foreigner." ”

"Having said that, I am an insignificant small citizen, where can I work hard for Lu Shaoqing."

"You guessed wrong, Lu Dalang tried his best to help after hearing about it, and sent a lot of people out to find you, but who would have thought that you would be lost in the mountains and forests, it's really ......"

Chu Hong was speechless.

"Okay, I don't want to, but since you say so, then you should thank Lord Lu and Miss Lu."

"No, although Lu Xingwan usually looks hypocritical and mean, he is quite generous to you, and this time he has also made a lot of efforts, you really should thank her."

"Got it, let's do it, I'll be the east another day, you will be the company, how about asking their brothers and sisters out for a meal."

"Cheng, but where are you calling? Maybe it's in Alum Tower, I've been there once, and the taste of the food is amazing. ”

"No, no, no, it's too expensive there, I can't afford it." Wen Shu shook his head repeatedly.

"Where are you?"

Wen Shu thought for a moment, and then smiled mysteriously, "Don't talk about it yet, you'll know when the time comes." ”

As the two spoke, they had already sat down in the tea shed, and Wen Shu personally poured her a cup of tea and asked her if she wanted to go back.

Chu Hong shook his head again and again: "What's the point of going back and staying in the mansion, but you still have some interest in this tea house, I'll sit here and go back to the city with you next night." ”

Wen Shu nodded, and at this time, a group of people happened to come outside the tea shed, and she hurriedly got up to greet her, "A few officials, please come in, what are you doing?" ”

The tall man with the head glanced around with a serious face, and asked, "Is there a second Chen soup?" ”

"Yes, yes, how many bowls will the official come?"

"One bowl for everyone who follows me, and one bowl for everyone outside the door." The tall man sat down by the door, and the rest of the sergeants followed suit, and seventeen or eighteen people filled the small tea shed.

Wen Shu looked out again, good guy!, there are not seventy or eighty standing or lying outside, there are also forty or fifty, plus the ........ inside

Dozens of people came at once, and Wen Shu was so busy that he hit the back of his head.

Seeing this, Chu Hong also offered to help, Wen Shu saw that those officials seemed to be in a hurry to leave, so he didn't shirk and let her be in charge of making soup, Zhao's sister-in-law brought it over, and she herself started to make steamed buns with her hands and feet.

She was not there, and Sister-in-law Zhao didn't dare to make too much staple food, for fear that she wouldn't be able to sell it and waste it, so in the steamer at this time, there were only twenty or thirty steamed buns when it was full.

Her hands and feet did not stop, and the tall man who led the hall put the Pu knife on the table, and said to the outside: "Everyone listen to me, when the soup and dry food come up, you all hurry up to eat and drink, these wounded soldiers must be sent to the eighth battalion before noon, otherwise the military law will deal with it." ”

"Yes. ＂

Chu Hong looked out of the shed curiously when she heard this, but saw that the soldiers lying on the wooden stretcher were all covered with strips of cloth, and couldn't help but ask Wen Shu on the side: "There is no war going on around here, why are the soldiers outside so seriously injured." ”

Wen Shu glanced at what they were wearing, it seemed to be the submerged fire suits of the submerged fire team, plus the news he heard in the tea shop last night, he knew why these people were injured.

"They are from the submarine fire team, and the injuries on their bodies should have fallen from the fire yesterday, the water and fire are ruthless!"

"That's the case......" Chu Hong fell silent.

The Chu family courtyard lives not far from the south of the city, yesterday's fire, she also saw it in the house, the thick black fog covers the sky and the sun, and the raging flames sweep into the sky.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly stopped her movements and said to everyone: "You military masters work hard, I invited you to eat today, yesterday's fire in the south of the city, thanks to your heroic flames, can extinguish the fire so quickly, the slave family admires it very much." ”

Hearing the sound, the inside and outside of the tea shed were quiet.

Da Gao was stunned for a while, then wiped his face, and said in a dumb voice: "Thank you little lady for your kindness, the so-called food for the king's luck, bear the king's worries, these are all things within the scope of the matter, and you should not be thanked." ”

"Although it is a matter of duty, but it takes great courage, Chu Xiaoniang is right, today she invites food, I invite fruit, I just hope that when you serve the country and the people, you can all be safe and return triumphantly."

After that, all the noodles in his hands had been put on the steamer, Wen Shu wiped his hands, turned around and went to the back room, took out more than 20 Kang Mu Guo from the storage basket, and a basket of ordinary loquats, and carried them to the front.

She handed out the berries to the soldiers who were lying on the ground, tied with strips of cloth. The loquat was given to the able-bodied soldiers.

Kangmu fruit has the effect of resisting heat and poisonous gas, and it is thought that it will be of some use to those soldiers who have been burned on their bodies.
