Chapter 220: A Piece of Baked Cake
Of course, the prince couldn't afford it, and the prince of Huai, who rushed to hear the news, hurriedly took the lord of Roufu out, and then stepped forward to apologize to Zhen Shiyuan: "It's the little sister who misunderstood, I have never masked this Lord Qiao, and I don't know this Lord Qiao." ”
That sounds like a cover-up! Zhen Shiyuan was noncommittal, but just said with a straight face: "What is Lord Qiao's character, this official knows that she is not a person who covets power. ”
Isn't this just referring to Sang scolding Huai and saying that he Huai Wangfu oppresses people with power? The prince of Huai Wang had a headache, but he was helpless, and the trouble caused by the little sister was only borne by him, who was the elder brother.
What a farce! The prince of Huai Wang is not the lord of Roufu, so he naturally knows that it will only be the Huai Wangfu that will make trouble again, and after repeatedly saying "I don't know Lord Qiao", he left in a hurry.
After the prince of Huai Wang left, Zhen Shiyuan glanced at a stunned scribe who was holding a pen on the side, and said, "Your seat?" ”
This is the chair that the lord of Jofu County is sitting on, and his seat is occupied, so the scribe naturally doesn't dare to say more, but only dares to wait on the sidelines.
The scribe who was ordered came back to his senses, nodded, and stammered: "More...... Thank you, sir. ”
"Stammering?" Zhen Shi is far away.
The scribe said: "It's still ...... Luckily, sometimes. ”
Zhen Shiyuan nodded, turned around and looked at the officials who were looking here, and his gaze staggered, and all the officials lowered their heads one after another.
This is an innocuous farce, even if it is said, the prince of Huai Wang will only be reprimanded with a few words, but Lord Zhen seems to look extremely upright when he comes out like this!
Of course, I believe that Zhen Shiyuan made almost no trouble because he was upright, and he risked offending the Huai Wangfu to stand up for his subordinates? Is this Zhen Shiyuan so sympathetic to his subordinates?
Whether others believe it or not, they don't believe it anyway.
Probably what did that Master Qiao send out to do! What you may be doing is also very important. Thinking of this, many officials with lively minds frequently looked here.
They don't know when Master Qiao will go out, but when he will come back and what his expression will be when he comes back, it is predictable to speculate what he has done.
It was not until the time when it was close to the unitary that Master Qiao appeared in everyone's field of vision, carrying an oil-paper bag in her hand, and the paper of the oil-paper bag was stamped with a stamp.
"The bridge in the west of the city." Someone muttered, disappointed and at the same time, couldn't help but secretly scold the mother.
Looking at Zhen Shiyuan's appearance of standing up like that before, I thought that this Lord Qiao was sent out to do something big! Outcome...... As a result, I went out and bought a pancake?
Although this bridge baked cake is also somewhat famous in Chang'an, but as for offending the Huai Wangfu for a few baked cakes?
It may be impossible to change to others, but looking at Zhen Shiyuan's happy face, he walked over and hurriedly took away the baked cake in her hand, and felt that it was not impossible.
The bridge baked cakes at the mouth of the nine lanes of the third street in the west of the city are good and cheap, and there are often long queues, if you want to buy a piece of the bridge baked cakes, it is impossible to line up for half an hour and an hour, plus a round trip from Dali Temple to the west of the city, it will take almost two or three hours, and an afternoon will pass in a blink of an eye.
I went to Master Qiao to do something important, but it turned out to be for a piece of baked cake.
previously said that this Lord Qiao was such a powerful woman that her performance was extraordinary, so much so that Zhen Shiyuan himself specially recommended bringing people from Jinling to Chang'an.
Is it really such an extraordinary strange woman who would be sent out to buy baked cakes?
……
Qiao Ran followed Zhen Shiyuan into the house one after the other, closed the door, and cut off the sight of the outside.
"What's going on?" Qiao Ran instinctively looked behind her, although she only saw two doors, she didn't care, "I've only been here for a day, so it's not so eye-catching!" When I just came in, why were so many people looking at me? ”
Zhen Shiyuan put his hand on the baked cake and patted it gently: "When you are away, do you know who came to you?" ”
Has anyone come looking for her? Qiao Ran looked at Zhen Shiyuan's face, and privately thought that if Hongdou and they came to her, it would never be this face, so she shook her head.
"Lord of Johor."
"The one who was paralyzed and healed by God?" The girl reacted quickly, and she seemed very strange, "What is she doing with me?" I don't know how to heal. ”
"She said that her eldest brother, who has a harmonious husband and wife and has both children and daughters, has taken a fancy to your beauty." Zhen Shiyuan squinted at her, "I took such a good opportunity back for you, are you disappointed?" ”
Qiao Ran couldn't hear Zhen Shiyuan's retort, and when she heard this, she only spread her hands and said strangely: "I haven't seen this world, and I don't know where he fell in love with my beauty." ”
"This is strange, could it be that your beauty has reached the point of alarming Chang'an?" Zhen Shiyuan glanced at her and said, "I'm desperate to take the risk of offending the Huai Wangfu back for you, if you don't do this matter well, I'm sorry for the good intentions of this official!" ”
Qiao Ran couldn't help laughing when she heard this, looked at Zhen Shiyuan's subtle face mixed with remorse, and said, "Lord Zhen regrets it!" If you knew this, you might as well go to the third street and nine alleys to inquire and leave me here to solve this matter by yourself, right? ”
If you had known about it...... Forget it, everything has happened, Zhen Shiyuan sighed helplessly. Huaiwangfu ...... Forget it, it's all offended anyway, let's take one step at a time!
"So tell me, what did you find when you went out today?" He said.
"How can it be so fast?" Qiao Ran said, "I have to find a suitable reason first!" She said, gesturing to the paper bag under his hand, and said, "Ohashi Baked Cake." The reason I'll give you is the only one in the third street and nine lanes that can attract a lot of people to queue up for baked cakes. I can let the red beans line up in advance to buy the baked cakes, and take advantage of the time to buy the baked cakes to secretly investigate, so that it is not easy to attract people's attention! ”
"I don't like to eat baked cakes." Zhen Shiyuan looked at the corner of the baked cake exposed in the oiled paper bag, and muttered silently.
"I don't have to choose, there is only this one in a long queue in the third street and nine lanes, and the adults have to eat if they don't want to eat." Qiao Ran stood up as she spoke, and said, "The time for the next duty has come, my lord, I'll go first, and I'll continue tomorrow." ”
Feelings: Today, he offended the Huai Wangfu, she just went out to buy him a baked cake? The corners of Zhen Shiyuan's mouth twitched, but the girl who had taken two steps suddenly stopped and turned her head to look at him: "But it's not for nothing today." Today, I went to the sick butchers and the neighbors who were sick, and I saw that a thick layer of lime was sprinkled in front of their homes. ”
"It's not surprising that I spilled it when I lied about swine fever before." Zhen Shiyuan looked at the baked cakes in the oilpaper bag and was worried.
"But it's been a few days," Qiao Ran thought for a while, and said, "I saw someone sprinkling lime when I passed today, and it wasn't an official who sprinkled lime, but a neighbor nearby. ”
Neighborhoods nearby? Zhen Shiyuan raised his head.
"The neighbors looked worried," said Qiao Ran, after a pause, "and I think the news that those people had smallpox may have gotten out." ”
Of course, this news will spread out, since He Taiping entered the palace overnight, and His Majesty told the court this morning that this news could not be concealed for long. But that was only the news among the officials of the court, and it reached the people before His Majesty opened his mouth to tell the people? I'm afraid no one has the guts to do that.
