"The scene was chaotic and no witnesses were found for the time being." Qiu Hu looked at the two women walking back and forth in the back garden, shook his head and said, "But my subordinates have already ordered them to continue to secretly investigate this matter, and sooner or later it will definitely come to light." ”

He was the steward of the Hou Mansion, and anyone who came to the mansion on an errand had to be investigated before he was allowed to enter the mansion.

But this Ah Duo was suddenly brought in by Madame, and he didn't have time for people to investigate thoroughly.

Pei Ze bowed slightly.

Following his gaze and looking out of the window, he had excellent eyesight, and clearly saw the smile of the woman in the flowers, Ah Duo pinched a pink and tender magnolia flower for her to pin between her sideburns, her smile was even brighter, which was not there when facing him.

Qiu Hu retracted his gaze and continued: "My subordinates think that we still have to watch out for the situation in Yucheng at the moment, as far as my subordinates know, there are many Eastern Chu people in Yucheng who are doing spice business here, if you want to find out the Eastern Chu spies from among them, it is not an easy task, if you can join forces with Lord Zhao, maybe you can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Lord Zhao is a delicate person, long-sleeved and good at dancing and suspicious, how to join forces with him?" It wasn't until the two figures disappeared between the flowers and trees that Pei Ze picked up the tea bowl and said lightly, "What's more, in addition to the prefect of Yucheng, there is also the Commander Division, and although Tang Shuo has no relationship with me, Shangwu has a life-saving grace for him, maybe he can stand on our side." ”

"Master Hou, my subordinates heard that Lord Tang has no one in his eyes, and he is lonely and arrogant, and he is not easy to get along with." Qiu Hu picked up the kettle from the stove and refilled the tea for Pei Ze, frowning and said, "Since the opening of the Zhennan Hou Mansion, he has not come to visit, so it can be seen that he doesn't want to make friends with us." ”

It stands to reason that the emperor personally gave the Marquis of Zhennan.

As a local commander, I am here to visit.

"It's okay, he doesn't come, let's visit him." Pei Ze didn't pay attention to these details, his eyes were calm, "They have been following me for many days, but they haven't done it for a long time, I guess they may have another purpose, maybe they don't just want to kill me, but they want to make a fuss about other things, if they only target me, I can rest assured." ”

There are many more sad things in this world than death.

He is not afraid of death, but he does not want others to die because of him.

"My subordinates understood." Qiu Hu understood, turned around and put the kettle, the rag wiped the remaining water stains on the table, "There are more dignitaries and nobles in the east of the city, and every family has a nurse, if there is any change, they will notice it, but on the west side of the city, the population is more dense, especially in June, there are more Buddhist events, from today onwards, I will let my subordinates disguise themselves as merchants or pilgrims, and mingle in the west of the city. ”

"Go ahead and do it!" Pei Ze nodded, "Especially the people over there in Liutai Temple are more mixed, so you should pay special attention to precautions." ”

Qiu Hu said yes.

At night, when Pei Ze returned to the room, Hua Jiao was already asleep, the quilt was kicked to the side, revealing half of the smooth calf, he looked away, bent down to cover her with the quilt, undressed and went to bed lightly, stared at her stomach for a long time, and put his hand on it, the one in the stomach quickly responded, kicked him through the belly, he could even feel the strong and powerful little feet, such a wonderful way of communication, made him very excited.

I imagined what the future child would look like, and went to sleep contentedly.

On the second day of June, the hot spring Zhuangzi opened.

Sichuan pepper naturally has to be present.

Pei Ze knew that he couldn't stop her, so he had to accompany her personally.

There was news from Wutong Town that Wang had to wait for the work in the field before he could come over, although the pepper was accompanied by Cai and Ah Duo, but after all, he was more than six months pregnant, and he didn't dare to be sloppy.

The hot spring Zhuangzi was designed by Sichuan pepper according to the topography.

The men's bath is relatively simple, it is a large oval pool, and a stone platform of different heights is built in the middle of the large pool, which not only blocks the view, but also facilitates the pilgrims to rest, and the changing wardrobe is also more magnificent, a sandalwood cabinet on the ground, and is equipped with a key, the outside of the bath is also covered with a circle of brim hats, the brim hat is placed under the dining table, and the food is placed on the large table in the small kitchen opposite, each dish is marked with a price, it is very convenient to eat, and two young men can take care of it.

The women's bath is relatively complex, designed to look like eighteen bends of the mountain road, you can bathe alone, or you can bathe together in twos and threes, there is no upstream and downstream division, each section is an independent source, both sides are stone steps, and a carpet is also laid on it, which is convenient for pilgrims to walk barefoot, and the dressing room is also relatively first-class, all of which are put screens, and the dining place is more exquisite, all concentrated in a hugging building, there is a small garden in front of the hugging building, and the cloister pavilion is built in the garden, and the scenery is very elegant.

The porridge on both sides has been boiled, and the dim sum is neatly arranged.

Zhou led people to continue cooking in an orderly manner.

Hot Spring Zhuangzi does not accept a la carte, and eats whatever the guests want.

Huajiao felt that most of the pilgrims came to worship the Buddha with a pious heart, and they would never care about eating, she was only responsible for making the meals diverse.

Pei Ze accompanied her back and forth, and was very amazed by the design of the hot spring, he never thought that such an inconspicuous Zhuangzi, an inconspicuous hot spring, could be made like this, and he was even more surprised to learn that it was all from the hands of Sichuan Pepper, he couldn't imagine that this woman was so knowledgeable, even if he was asked to plan these, he couldn't do it so thoughtfully and exquisitely.

Sichuan pepper is also very satisfied with this project, which basically meets her expectations, especially the polishing inside is very round, the slope is also good, and the flowing living water is relatively gentle, which is the kind of gurgling effect she wants.

The shopkeeper Tang invited the dragon and lion dance troupe, twisted from the hot spring to the Liutai Temple, and then twisted back, and put several firecrackers, Hua Jiao took Ah Duo to take the lead in experiencing a hot spring bath, and Ah Duo shouted: "It's much more comfortable than me taking a bath in the river behind the village, that is, following my wife to dip a light that doesn't cost money, and we are not willing to spend 20 Wen to take a bath." ”

Hua Jiao smiled and said nothing.

In fact, the hot springs don't make much money, and the ones that really make money are those vegetarian vegetarians.

The crowd targeted by the hot spring Zhuangzi is not the people of Liutai Village, but the pilgrims who come from afar, twenty wen, in fact, there are not many.

Pei Ze also took Qiu Hu to the men's bath to take a bath.

Both of them thought it was very good.

Qiu Hu is especially full of praise for those vegetarian vegetarian foods, he never knew that dried tofu can be made into the taste of beef, and even with the unique texture of beef, the chicken made of tofu skin tastes better than the real chicken, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, soft and glutinous and fragrant, the taste of braised pork made of winter melon is a must, it is tender and smooth in the mouth, the soup is rich, and the real braised pork has a taste.

He was even more impressed with the peppercorns.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. not only can design the hot spring Zhuangzi, but also the cooking skills are even better, there are a lot of dazzling dim sum on the table that he can't name, but it tastes absolutely delicious in the world, Zhou told them that these are all vegetarian vegetarian foods that Sichuan pepper has figured out by himself, and they just follow it.

By noon, the number of people who came to take a bath gradually increased.
