Chapter 181: The Owner Is Back
If the effect of the wanted warrant was really that high, someone should have come to Qingyu Village to arrest her, but she is still so leisurely. She didn't know that there were nobles in the city who helped her, so she would save the day.
The owner of the horse shop said that he was also a distant relative of the county order, and whoever wanted to offend him had to take it back to the county government to peel off a layer of skin. But after hearing that Jing Gongzi intervened, he simply admitted it for a few dozen taels of silver, and the horse was brought from the city by the little guy, and it was not a loss if he lost it.
But this shoddy tissue paper happened to be seen by Tang Xiaoxiao, a little girl in the village.
This Tang Xiaoxiao is illiterate, and he doesn't feel like Tang and Rou when he looks at the portrait, he has heard what others say, and he can't be very sure. She turned around and told her father about it, Tang Youyong didn't want to slander Tang Yourou, the cousin's niece, so he went to the county seat to look for a long time. But after a day, I didn't find half of the wanted warrant related to Qingyu Village, thinking that my daughter had lied, and beat her up when I went home.
Tang Xiaoxiao was not convinced, and decided that Tang and Rou were wanted, but he didn't dare to make a big deal about it, and it was only circulated among the sisters.
Tang and Rou didn't take the wanted warrant seriously, and continued to leisurely plan her pottery workshop in the village.
……
Horses and chariots drove through the wasteland.
Even if you stop and go, it won't take you a day to return to the county seat from Mowu Village, but Liu Jia has been away for several days and has not returned. The cronies who went with her to arrest Song Zhizhang had already returned to Yuncheng.
No one knows where she and the coachman have gone.
"Did the owner come back today?"
All of them went to the Liu Mansion, and it was Zhou Yu who came out to open the door.
Niu Er's incident did not make Zhou Yuchang remember, but Liu Changqing supported Tang Yourou and locked her in the firewood room and starved for two days, which eliminated her arrogance in the end.
At this time, the owner did not come back, she did not dare to snub the shopkeeper of Fumanlou, and made a rough salute and replied: "The owner has not returned." ”
All of them are puzzled.
The roof of this Fuman Building has been repaired halfway, where did the owner go? They all told her in advance that they would return in a few days, not like they were robbed by the kidnappers halfway.
But if you don't come back, when the prince of Ji comes, the official road will be sealed. The carriage had to make a detour back to Yuncheng, and it might encounter wind and snow on the road. The proprietor is not such a brainless person, did he go to other places to do big business?
Finally, five days before Prince Ji entered the city, when Fumanlou was completely repaired, Liu Jia returned.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Liu Mansion, and the coachman, Lao Wang, was gone, and the driver was a young man of unknown origin.
The man lifted the curtain for Liu Jia.
Boss Liu got out of the car, still dressed in men's clothes, no different from when he went.
Zhou Yu and a bunch of servants stood at the door to welcome Master Liu back, and she also took the initiative to greet him with hot soup, shushing the cold and asking for warmth. Liu Jia took the hot towel handed by the servant and wiped his hands, and walked into the lobby to warm the roadside to bake the fire, coping with it casually.
Zhou Yu looked at the strange driver who followed behind him and asked, "Where is Lao Wang?" ”
Liu Jia frowned and glanced at her, but did not answer.
Zhou Yu didn't know what she had done wrong, but since the owner didn't want to answer, she would go back and inquire.
The topic moved away again, saying how the Fumanlou was repaired, who was sick in the house, and the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple outside the city said that the temple sacrifice was missing a few monkeys, and asked the owner if there was anyone who could juggle in his hands to replace it.
Liu Jia was not interested in such a topic, and asked, "How has Changqing behaved in the past few days when I was away?" He should be in the school right now, right? ”
The house slaves looked at each other, and no one dared to answer.
"What about others? In the house? ”
She glared at her servants, and everyone felt a strong pressure and lowered their heads.
Only Zhou Yu whispered: "Brother Qing is in the back kitchen, but ......"
"Back kitchen?" Liu Jia interrupted her and scolded, "What is this stupid thing doing in the back kitchen?" I've only been gone for a few days, and he's become a glutton?! ”
She frowned, rushed to the kitchen, and kicked the door open.
Because of the previous incident, the servants of the Liu Mansion did not dare to stay at the door of the kitchen, and pushed far away.
Liu Jiahu glanced at them suspiciously, remembered that they had all mentioned it in the letter, and bought a superb recipe called boiling water cabbage, so he closed the kitchen door.
There are more than a dozen bowls on the board, each containing a different powder. Liu Changqing held a porcelain bowl and beat eggs using the method taught by the cook. When I was making pastries, I didn't pay attention to rubbing my face, and my nose was stained with powder but I didn't know it, and my hair was a mess.
The kneaded dough has grown larger, but it is not ready, it is yellow and hard, and there are cracks.
Chef Liao carved cabbage on the other side, and the meat such as chicken, duck and pig was cooked, and the kitchen was fragrant.
The two watched Liu Jia break in, and only said hello a few times, but Liu Jia didn't answer, he lost his temper, and rushed up to Liu Changqing's head is a chestnut: "You bastard doesn't study well all day long, and you escaped from the school again, and you are still tinkering with this thing!" ”
"Mother! I didn't! Liu Changqing couldn't dodge, even turned over the egg liquid in the bowl, covered his head, squatted on the ground and was aggrieved, not like an adult at all.
"Don't be angry, Childe is kneading the dough!" Chef Liao stepped forward to persuade.
"At this point, you don't cook in Fumanlou, what are you messing around here?" Liu Jia stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Changqing, and asked angrily, "Is it your idea to bring my cook to the house and do nonsense with you?!" I'm not here, and you just slipped out of the school? Which singer likes to eat cakes this time? ”
Chef Liao hurriedly explained: "No, I'm making a new dish!" These will be sent to Fumanlou in a while! ”
Liu Changqing said: "Mother, I want to relieve all of them!" He said that there was a shortage of pastries in Fumanlou, and he was afraid that the nobles would not have to eat when they came, so I helped him make them. ”
Chef Liao helped: "Yes, Dongjia, this cake is made for Fumanlou, Shaodong wants to secretly make the mochi of the soft girl!" ”
Liu Jia was stunned when he heard this.
Could it be that the moon came out in the west, and his son would actually help Fumanlou?!
She hadn't asked the shopkeeper if he had bought the mochi recipe, but this guy would be thinking about it here, and there was a high probability that it didn't work out.
"What about the school? Are you going to be a cook and stop studying? ”
When it comes to the school, Liu Changqing is like a treasure: "In the past few days, the master has agreed that I can go home as long as I finish memorizing the books in class." I finished reciting "Guan Ju" today, and the Master allowed me to return early! I said goodbye to him when I left, and I will bring him some snacks tomorrow. ”
Liu Jia: "What kind of lie?" ”
Liu Changqing shook his head and recited: "It's true!" You listen to my back! Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman! ”
"Sounds like a wild mandarin duck in heat, is there any use in learning this thing? Why don't you learn something practical? Liu Jia snorted, came to the cutting board, pinched a pinch of the filling, tasted it, and frowned.
The ingredients are true, and the colorful stuffing is also there, but ...... This ruined thing!
