Chapter 3 Food induces clues
Miao Miaomiao asked the child if he knew a scholar named Cao Shiliang.
The boy stared at the pile of snacks and nodded vigorously.
She gave him a piece of osmanthus candy, and the little boy stuffed it into his mouth, for fear that she would snatch it back.
"Where does he live?"
"West Courtyard." The boy was given another piece of preserves.
In the end, Miao Miaomiao used half a bag of snacks to understand this scholar named Cao Shiliang thoroughly.
Naturally, this little boy couldn't know so much, but the rules didn't say that he couldn't run to ask on the spot!
When he couldn't answer a question, he ran elsewhere and sought help from his older brothers, and then came back to answer the question.
"My lord, now that I know that this Cao Shiliang lives in the West Courtyard, are we going to look for him now?"
Wang Funian poured all the remaining scraps into his mouth and asked vaguely.
Miao Miaomiao got up and stretched: "Don't panic, that little boy also said that he doesn't like to live in the dormitory of the West Courtyard on weekdays, he likes to live in the guest house, and now he may not be there!" Let's not startle the snake. ”
With that, he walked out the door.
Although Wang Funian had doubts, he followed without refutation.
In fact, Miao Miaomiao already had a plan in her heart.
learned from the child's mouth that there was no intersection between Cao Shiliang and Zhang Dagen.
Let's talk about Cao Shiliang first, although his family background is average, his ancestors have also been on the list, and his grandfather has been a showman.
And Zhang Dagen, his ancestors have been farmers for generations, and he can't read a basket of big characters.
But there was a man who was determined to study and change his fate.
However, fate played tricks, and Zhang Dagen fell to his death.
"My lord, where are we going now?"
Asked by Wang Funian, Miao Miaomiao looked at the sky, and it was still early: "Lao Wang, you said before that you saw something interesting outside the window, and you want to take me to see it?" ”
……
There is actually a dancing god in Pure Town!
When Miao Miaomiao saw this scene, the first thought that popped into her mind was this!
I saw a group of people dressed in red, jumping in a street clearing, shouting words she didn't understand.
Around the group were kneeling devout believers, each with a small box in front of them.
"What's in this box?" Miao Miaomiao was very curious about this thing, so she asked the people watching the excitement on the side.
A man dressed as a butcher, dressed in lard and blood: "This box contains the most valuable thing for each of them, and in order to fulfill their wishes, they will hand it over to those people in red for safekeeping." ”
"Huh? Is this all right? Aren't you afraid of those individuals swallowing it privately? ”
"If the next day the thing is still there, the wish has not been fulfilled, and if it is gone, the wish has been fulfilled." The butcher crossed his arms and looked disdainful of being in his company, "They wish he had taken it privately!" ”
"Does anyone believe this?"
"Who knows! This group of people doesn't know what's wrong with their brains, and they will really put valuables in it and hand them over to that group of charlatans! Anyway, I don't believe it. ”
Just when Miao Miaomiao was wondering why there was no official to take care of this thing, the familiar head catcher rushed over.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way! Who got you here? Didn't you say tell you to get out! ”
The head catcher took the catch and swept away the crowd violently.
Just when Miao Miaomiao felt that this group of people was going to be cured.
An old woman suddenly stood up, holding her head-catching ear and scolding angrily: "Stinky boy! How dare you be disrespectful to the cardinal holy envoys?! ”
The head catcher shouted "oops" and shouted pain, but he didn't dare to fight back: "Mother...... Mother...... I'm on official duty to save face......"
"What's the face?!" The old woman gritted her teeth and said, "The old lady now let the Red Lotus God help you find a daughter-in-law, do you know?" If you are a bachelor for the rest of your life, your mother's face will be lost! ”
Miao Miaomiao sighed and muttered: "No wonder this group of people are so unscrupulous, it turns out that they are in control of a death-free gold medal." ”
"My lord, do you want to ......" Wang Funian stretched out his hand and pointed to his head, signaling the official hat.
"No, you don't." She had to let them stay a few more days, "Let's leave them alone for now, and go to Zhang Dagen's house to have a look." ”
When Wang Funian heard this, he immediately turned his head and went straight to the rice shop.
……
Zhang Dagen is also a warm-hearted person in this town, and there is no one who doesn't know him.
So much so that the news of his accidental fall to his death spread, and everyone felt sorry for him very much.
After inquiring about the address from the owner of the rice shop, the two knocked on the courtyard door of Zhang Dagen's house with four bags of rice noodles.
"Who are you?" A little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, leading a little boy of five or six years old, stood at the door, watching them both warily.
The children's clothes were patched, but they were clean.
"Is this Zhang Dagen's house?" Miao Miaomiao's tone softened as she bent down.
"Are you looking for my brother?" The little girl replied glutinously, "He is not at home, he went out early in the morning." ”
It seems that this little girl didn't know that Zhang Dagen was dead, so in order not to make the other party sad, she had to ask, "Are there any adults in the family?" ”
The little girl glanced into the room, and then puffed up her chest: "I'm an adult, what's the matter with you?" ”
"We are guys from the rice shop, and your brother bought rice noodles in my shop and asked us to deliver them." Miao Miaomiao lifted the cloth bag in her hand, "Can we go in?" ”
The girl also let down her guard and turned sideways to make a way.
She and Wang Funian put the rice noodles into the kitchen, and pretended to be thirsty to beg for a bowl of water to drink.
Taking advantage of the free time, I took a look around the room.
The house is indeed simple, but also dark.
It's just that there are a lot of books in the house.
"Does your brother sleep here?" Miao Miaomiao stood in the dining hall, holding a water bowl.
"My brother said it would be cool to sleep here in the summer."
"What about winter?"
"Sleep in the kitchen in the winter to keep warm."
The girl's heart was sour at this time, and she drank the water at the bottom of the bowl and said goodbye.
came out of Zhang Dagen's house, and had mixed feelings all the way.
"Lao Wang, I want to drink." Miao Miaomiao stood in front of a tavern.
"My lord, you are also a man of temperament." Wang Funian sighed, "Nine times out of ten, there are unsatisfactory things in this world, even if it is Your Majesty...... Ah...... Can't talk too much. ”
The girl patted him on the shoulder and changed her expression to a shy: "Old Wang, I heard you criticize Your Majesty...... Well, if you're willing to bribe me...... I'll act like this didn't happen~"
"Your Excellency!" Wang Funian's face changed, and he covered his money bag, "The lower official's salary is less than one-tenth of yours!" You can't do that! There are old and young ...... under the officials."
"Shhhhh What's going on? Did her husband detain her? Running out of money to spend? Can't get enough to eat? ”
Although Wang Funian is not a big official, his sixteen-year-old daughter is well married.
The emperor's half-brother, King Qi, was his son-in-law.
"Your Excellency, you didn't listen to it. I mean, there's a puppy to feed! ”
