Chapter 119: Serendipity

Wang Xi reluctantly accepted such a reason.

Chen Luo's people were more powerful than she thought, and she soon found out where Uncle Ali's nephew lived.

Chang Ke couldn't help but say: "No wonder Mama Wang and Bai Guo can't inquire, it turns out that Yunju Temple has a courtyard at the foot of the mountain for male pilgrims, which is almost a mile away from here." I don't know how Ali got to the temple? ”

Wang Xi was worried about how to teach Liu Zhong a lesson. She not only asked the cook to make pear cakes, but also made Wufu cakes, Poria cakes, etc., and also made the three treasures of the lotus pond that Chen Luo also liked before, put a particularly beautiful basket with snacks, and brought a few toys that children like to play with, and let the ginkgo be sent to the guest room of Yunju Temple at the foot of the mountain, quite showing off the taste of I know where you live.

Chang Ke couldn't help laughing when he knew it, followed Wang Xi to coax, and made a few hairbands for Ah Li to bring with him.

Liu Zhong's head is full of bags.

Since he was going to apologize to Wang Xi and Chang Ke, why didn't he inquire about their origins? In addition to knowing that they were the girls of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, he also heard that Chen Luo had a good relationship with them, and they came to Yunju Temple to spend the summer, and Chen Luo actually came to visit in person.

If you were young, you could also say "the good of the family", but now that everyone has reached the age of saying kiss, Chen Luo made a special trip to Yunju Temple, which is a bit interesting?

I just don't know which lady he's interested in?

The eldest princess of Baoqing must have her own set of requirements for her daughter-in-law, and the backgrounds of the two young ladies are a bit low, I don't know if Chen Luo's intentions can be resolute?

Liu Zhong pondered in his heart for a few days, Ah Li's illness was finally cured, he was so lively that he couldn't stop for a moment, and his mouth was full of snacks, as if he had never eaten before.

He looked sad.

He had never seen or enjoyed the glory of his grandfather, but he had endured enough of the hardships of his family. The lobby brother has a deep love for a Yi woman, and he gave birth to Ali, although his grandmother was angry, but the lobby brother was his own child, or took Ali back. It would be good if the lobby brother could live a good life with the Yi woman, but when the lobby brother took the woman out on a trip, he encountered a flash flood and died, leaving only Ah Li as a child.

Then after the drought in his hometown, there was a flood, and there was no harvest for four years, and the tenants at home fled one after another, leaving a few acres of thin fields unsustainable, and Ali was often bullied by the naughty boys in the township because of his unusual appearance, and once he was almost told by someone with bad intentions to the traffickers, and Ali was almost abducted.

After the death of the elders in the family, he simply brought Ah Li to the capital, wanting to find a career for Ah Li and himself.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shilang, who was the loudest at the beginning, won his grandfather's favor but turned his face and refused to admit it, not only prevaricating about their family's affairs, but also seeing that it was impossible for him to participate in the imperial examination.

Liu Zhong was so angry that he vomited blood, and took Ah Li to rent a small courtyard in the south of the city, and later because it was too hot in the city, he lived in Yunju Temple with the blessing of his grandfather.

It's just that I pity Ah Li, the elders in the family neglected him a lot, and they didn't even dare to stretch out their chopsticks when they even ate a meal, but now they have a problem of obsessing with eating when they see it, and I don't know if they will change it when he is older, knowing that he is ashamed?

It can be said that he has no ability. Being able to take Ali with him can't make him feel down-to-earth, so he can't stand the temptation and confusion of food.

He couldn't help but touch Ah Li's head and said, "Does Ah Li like those two aunts?" ”

Ah Li nodded again and again, looking up at the bun face with pastry dregs remaining at the corners of his mouth, and said in a milky voice: "Aunts are good-looking, fragrant, and beautiful like flowers." ”

Liu Zhong smiled and said, "You still know that it is as beautiful as a flower!" ”

Ah Li has no mother since he was a child, and he invited a few nurses who were afraid of his appearance, and since then he has grown up with the elderly grandmother beside his grandmother, and he has never seen such a fresh and kind little girl like the two young ladies of Yongcheng Houfu, so he naturally likes it.

He smiled and said: "When your aunt hugged you, you screamed in fright, and your uncle was also scared, and you did something sorry for the two aunts, and after a few days, my uncle took the silver from copying the scriptures and bought a few pots of flowers to compensate the two aunts, do you remember to help your uncle say a few good words, you know?" ”

Ah Li couldn't stop nodding and said, "I'll keep the three treasures for my aunt to eat." ”

It may be that he has never eaten lotus root, but his favorite dim sum is actually the three treasures of the lotus pond.

Liu Zhong nodded, and his vision began to blur again.

If his grandfather hadn't been involved in the imperial examination fraud case, and if there hadn't been for the punishment of three generations who didn't allow the imperial examination, how could Ah Li not even know what lotus root tasted like.

Liu Zhong's limited silver could not be spent indiscriminately, and after two days, he personally went to the flower market to pick two pots of Sulan as an apology, and took Ali to Wang Xi and Chang Ke's residence.

It happened that Chen Luo also came that day, and as soon as he came, he took Wang Xi to the kitchen, saying that he wanted the Wang family's cook to help him study a vegetarian dish, and after the queen mother recovered from her illness, he wanted to make it for the queen mother.

Chang Ke didn't believe it at all.

If you have the heart, whether it is the Eldest Princess's Mansion or the Zhenguo Mansion, it is impossible to lack a new-style vegetarian dish, how can you ask Wang Xi to come here.

However, she thought that Wang Xi spoke for Chen Luo twice in front of her, and now it seems that there may be something between the two. Especially Wang Xi, he is too good to Chen Luo.

She felt that she had to find a chance to talk to Wang Xi.

When Liu Zhong came, she deliberately went to call Wang Xi in person. Unexpectedly, Chen Luo and Wang Xi were really seriously studying the dishes of vegetarian dishes.

Chang Ke smiled abruptly, suppressed the embarrassment in his heart, and said Liu Zhong's visit.

Of course, Wang Xi couldn't really be studying vegetarian dishes with Chen Luo, in fact, they were indiscriminately instructing the cooks to do things, while whispering considerate words, especially when Chen Luo told her what he was busy with a few days ago, Wang Xi couldn't go away at all.

She felt sorry for Chang Ke, and said apologetically: "I'm holding my hands, why don't you go and see Liu Zhong?" What's going on with him? Why did he come out of Liu's house, Master Chen told us. Nothing to be afraid of. If you want to say that there is something wrong with him, then I am sorry for you, and I am at most implicated. If you're willing to forgive him, what else do I have to complain about? It's up to you! ”

Chang Ke hadn't decided on one thing by himself yet, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked when he heard it.

If Wang Xi has a heart, he can coax people to be sold and count the money back to her. Where Chang Ke was her opponent, she was fooled by Wang Xi to see Uncle Ali's nephew, and Wang Xi nervously whispered to Chen Luo: "You said that you were so busy some time ago that your feet didn't touch the ground, because you found out where the incense in the Qianqing Palace came from." Who is that dedicated to the emperor? How did you find out? ”

Chen Luo looked at the two clay bodhisattva-like cooks, slowly put down the radish in his hand, washed his hands, walked out of the kitchen, and stood still by the courtyard well.

Wang Xi hurriedly followed.

Chen Luo lowered his voice and said, "If you want to talk about this matter......

Thanks to Bo Mingyue.

The relationship between the Bo family and the Internal Affairs Office has always been close, because Bo Mingyue wants to investigate the incense stick in the Qianqing Palace, and someone in the Internal Affairs Office wants to tie up with Bo Mingyue, so naturally he spares no effort, Bo Mingyue finds out what he doesn't know, and some things fall in his eyes but immediately have a different meaning, which makes him inadvertently know who the incense is dedicated to the emperor.

Chen Luo was originally arrogant about some things that could not be said to others, although Bo Mingyue was unintentional, but if she helped, she would help, but in the face of Wang Xi's big eyes and curiosity on the other side, he suddenly thought of the so-called apology gift for the car that Bo Mingyue gave her, and changed his mind in an instant, and stopped the topic faster than his heart, and said, "It's a long story." ”

He reorganized his language and subconsciously excluded Bo Mingyue from the topic: "I have been thinking about the affairs of the Qianqing Palace, and it is impossible to bypass the Internal Affairs Office, so I focused on sending people to keep an eye on the Internal Affairs Office." ”

Chen Luo's words were an understatement, but Wang Xi knew that the Internal Affairs Office was so big, who was he staring at? How to stare? It's not a simple thing, and Chen Luo can do it, which shows his ability.

She listened intently.

"Then I found out that this incense was sent in from the Dajue Temple."

In other words, Chen Luo's suspicions at the beginning were justified.

"But it is not known who made the incense." Chen Luo said, his eyebrows flashed with a hint of coldness, "In order to avoid startling the snake, I didn't continue to investigate." ”

Because the focus is not on who made the incense, but who presented the incense to the emperor, and who is the most trustworthy person in the emperor's mind.

Wang Xi followed Chen Luo's train of thought.

"Then I found the biological mother of the Seventh Prince, Concubine Ning." Chen Luo said, lowering his eyes, so that Wang Xi couldn't see his emotions clearly for a while, "It was the incense that Ning Concubine, the biological mother of the Seventh Prince, presented to the emperor, and I also found out that the emperor has been accompanying Ning Concubine when he went to Xiyuan for summer vacation in the past few years." Fortunately, we went with it, but none of us realized it. Ning Concubine is like a shadow, if we don't check carefully, we can't feel it. ”

There is also the silver of Tianjin Wei Dock, which also flowed into the hands of Ning Concubine's brother.

But what does this mean?

The emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the eldest son. But the emperor sometimes becomes an ordinary person, has the emotions of ordinary people, loves his young son, and favors his concubine.

But Chen Luo is not making a fuss, there must be a reason why he is so jealous of this matter.

Wang Xi believed Chen Luo's feelings and said, "Is there anything else you haven't told me?" ”

Only in this way can we explain why Chen Luo held on to the incense stick in the Qianqing Palace and the grace of Concubine Ning.

Chen Luo looked at Wang Xi and stopped talking.

No matter when, Wang Xi is not an embarrassing person, let alone facing Chen Luo. "If you don't want to tell me," she said, "don't tell me." You just tell me what I can do to help you, you just tell me. ”

"It's not!" Chen Luo replied a little eagerly, as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand, and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, I don't know how to tell you." ”

Is it because you're embarrassed? Or is it because it's absurd?
