When the housekeeper saw the food box in his hand, he thought that this was the reason, and said with a smile, "The food in Yue Shilou is good, but it takes time and has to be carefully worked." ”

Wu Yan ignored it as usual, and only glanced at him.

As soon as he returned to the quiet house, Wu Penalty handed the food box to Lu Zhu, "The cold dishes don't need to be hot, bring these hot dishes to the stove and heat them up." ”

Zheng Lingyi knew that Wu Zhu would bring food back today, so he didn't let the small kitchen prepare the food, and only stewed a cup of medicinal food from General Wu, and then asked Luzhu to personally send it to General Wu.

"What kind of medicinal food did you prepare for your father?"

"The wolfberry astragalus simmered pigeon, reducing some medicinal properties, even if it adds vegetables to his old man's house."

Wu Zhi saw that the wine was poured into the small wine glass on the table, and he drank it all as soon as he raised his neck, and called a soft sweet smell, which wrapped around his throat with greasy panic.

Zheng Ling thought that Wu Zhi choked a few times and couldn't stop, and hurriedly poured him tea, "This, this is my rose brew, it can't be considered wine at all, it's very sweet." ”

"No wonder." The tea diluted the sweetness, and Wu Zhicai calmed his cough.

He frowned and pushed the small flask containing the rose sauce away with a look of disgust.

Lu Nong said: "It's cold today, can you let the small kitchen warm half a pot of rice wine for you?" ”

"Didn't I bring back a jug of willow wine earlier? That's it. It doesn't have to be tepid. Wu punished him.

Lu Nong glanced at Zheng Lingyi, and when he saw that she had no objection, he was blessed and said, "Yes." ”

The dishes are ready-made, just hot, so they are ready quickly.

There is a new soup upstairs in Yueshi, which is inextricably linked.

The chicken broth is made of shredded tofu, shredded crab meat and shrimp, and the umami is obtained.

Originally, I had to sprinkle a handful of finely chopped shredded cabbage, but Wu Zhu was afraid that the cabbage would be stuffy for a long time, but he was pregnant with the taste, so he didn't let it go.

When Mother Jin reheated it again, she put fresh vegetables into it, and this soup was refreshing and refreshing, and it warmed my stomach.

Wu Zhi guessed that Zheng Lingyi would like it, and when he saw her sipping in small sips, he was secretly happy with some pride.

After the meal, Zheng Lingyi was afraid of the cold of the winter night and refused to go out, and was coaxed by Wu Zhi to go out to eat, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw the rain and hurriedly pulled Wu Zhi back, but he didn't go out in the name.

"It's raining, add a charcoal basin and a coat to the mother-in-law and Pei'er who are keeping vigil." Zheng Lingyi said.

It's cold and wet outside, and if you're not careful, even if you're healthy, you're going to get sick easily.

Lu Nong took the order to do things, and the errand in Lu Zhu's hand was not finished yet, Pei'er was guarding outside the door, and there were only the two of them and Jiaojiao in this room.

The two of them became more and more unruly, and Wu Zhi sat directly on the windowsill, holding an old book with even a broken cover and looking at it.

Zheng Lingyi sat on the rocking chair, took off her embroidered shoes, rested her feet on Jiaojiao, and rubbed her stomach.

Jiaojiao is comfortably paralyzed, if it is a person, I am afraid that it will roll its eyes comfortably now.

"She went?" Zheng Lingyi couldn't bear to ask until now, and he was very stable.

Wu Xuan nodded invisibly and said lightly: "Ruthless." ”

Zheng Lingyi lowered his eyes and said, "The little maid in the Ling Pavilion sent the news, saying that the old lady was unwell since she got up in the afternoon, and she slept until dinner after taking the doctor's medicine. Come to think of it, it's also her handiwork. ”

"It's too visible." Wu Zhi commented.

"She's a weak woman, and others can't think of her." Zheng Lingyi said.

That's right, if Wu didn't clear the way for her, Little Madam Qiao really wouldn't be able to do this.

Tomorrow it will be Wu Zhi's turn to rest, so there is no need to go to bed early tonight, plus Wu Zhu saw a little interest in reading, and after bathing, he leaned on the soft collapse with Zheng Lingyi.

He reads his book, she carves her chapter, and he doesn't have to speak.

Although there is a warm tent under this corridor, it is really cold in the winter night.

Pei'er got a thick futon, sat down against the Zhu Zhu, and sat down next to the charcoal basin.

Zheng Lingyi never restrained them from using charcoal, and the charcoal given was not bad, there was some smoke, but it was not choking.

Pei'er once heard the price of the charcoal from Luzhu, and she was really shocked, because she would have to use up a lot of silver this winter.

When Luzhu came back from the kitchen, she also gave Pei'er a sweet potato and a few taro, and asked her to hide it under the charcoal ash and simmer it, so that she could eat it in the middle of the night.

Although Pei'er didn't think about it, she felt that this kind of human touch was probably the biggest difference between being a servant in a quiet residence and being a person in other places.

The candles were extinguished in the room, and Pell felt only dim, but there was a small oil lamp and a little star in the charcoal basin by her side.

In the past few days, I went to Zhuangzi to help Qiaoluo with some work, and I was very tired, so I couldn't take turns to keep vigil with Luzhu at night, so I changed to Pei'er and Luzhu to keep vigil together.

Pei'er felt that she was more useful, but she was happy, but when she heard that Zheng Lingyi was thinking about picking a few more clever girls from Zhuangzi, she was a little worried, afraid that she would be clumsy and unpleasant, so she asked someone to compare.

Pei'er thought worriedly, and opened the warm tent again to take a look, and the cold and humidity outside came in along the crack.

It's still raining. She thought slowly, and hurriedly pulled up the warm tent.

After sniffing the cold air outside, Pei'er realized that the slowly oozing aroma of taro and sweet potatoes from the charcoal basin had filled the air inside the warm tent.

She hurried to get tongs and pulled out a few smaller taro roots.

After drying on the cold ground for a while, Pei'er couldn't wait to pick it up, and just ate half of it while tearing it off, she heard some noise outside.

She suspected that she had heard something wrong, and thought that it would be better to see what was going on, so she poked her head out, and saw Mrs. Yin showing up, and hurriedly walked over.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Pei'er saw that Mrs. Yin's expression was not very good, and she knew that something might be wrong.

"Someone from South Park told the masters to go. I don't think it's a good thing. Mrs. Yin said.

"I'll go and call my lords to get up." Pell said.

She thought to herself, 'It will be dawn in two hours, and what can't we talk about at that time?' How cool it was at night. ’

Pei'er came to the window, knocked lightly a few times, and said in a low voice: "Madam, young master, someone came to Nanyuan, saying that they let you go." ”

She whispered twice in a row, and then heard Wu Punishment's voice coming through the window, "Got it." ”

A colder timbre than usual, with a bit of displeasure at being woken up.

Pei'er was a little nervous, and thought that Zheng Lingyi had no one to serve, so she said, "Slave, slave and maid, go and call Sister Luzhu." ”

"Not necessarily." Zheng Lingyi's voice sounded more lazy, "You can wait outside." ”

Pei'er hurriedly packed up a few taro before she had time to eat, and moved the charcoal basin to the side, so as not to hinder the path of the masters.

She went back to the door and waited with her head down, and it wasn't until the person in the house came out and handed her hand over that she reacted, Zheng Lingyi meant to let her go with her.

"What's wrong?"

Zheng Lingyi was holding a small hand stove in one hand, but the other hand was hanging in the air, and seeing Pei'er in a daze, he said.

Pell quickly took her hand and shook her head.

Both of them wore a cloak to protect them from the wind and rain, and Pell wore a cloak to protect them from the elements.

The three of them walked on this rainy night, and only Pei'er didn't know what was going on, and she was worried about her master.

The South Park was brightly lit, and the hall was full.

Old Mrs. Qiao, Little Mrs. Qiao, Qiao's family, Wu Yongan, Wan Yuanyuan, Wu Yongjun, and naturally General Wu, as well as Zhao Huyuan.

The house was noisy and uneasy, and as soon as Zheng Lingyi and Wu Zhi entered the courtyard, they saw Old Madam Qiao pointing at Wu Zhi and covering his face, "Maybe this thief killed my grandson in private!" ”

Zheng Lingyi was just right to show a little aggrieved and stunned, but he thought in his heart, "This old woman can be regarded as a crooked beating." ’

"He's a thief, so what am I in the eyes of your old man?" Old General Wu said coldly.

Wu Zhi looked around, everyone had different expressions on their faces, the three mothers and sons of the Qiao family were a little sincerely sad, but the two brothers were more impatient and sleepy.

Little Madam Qiao glanced at Wu Xuan, and when she saw that his gaze was turned, she lowered her head and wiped her empty tears with a handkerchief.

"It turns out that they woke me up this cold night to ask me to carry the black cauldron, so I won't accompany you."

Wu Zhi said, pulled Zheng Lingyi and turned around to leave.

"Young master, no one told you to carry the black cauldron." Zhao Huyuan hurriedly called him, and said to Old Madam Qiao: "I have told you many times, my third young master's martial arts are very high, but the wound on Young Master Qiao's body, even if it is a kitchen knife, will not be so clumsy and messy." ”

"Who knows if he's not suspicious?!" Old Madam Qiao didn't actually have any evidence, she just wanted to drag someone to give him Qiao Zhixian's back.

Except for those who knew it, all the people present thought so.

Seeing that Old Madam Qiao was making up such nonsense, Zhao Huyuan scoffed a little.

"The strength in the hands of this martial arts practitioner is not so simple to hide, I can see it at a glance! Could it be that you still want to say that the third young master took the third young grandmother to kill the person? ”

"It's not impossible." Wu Yongjun muttered in a low voice, he just felt bored, and he should have fun.

But the ears of the old general Wu and Wu Zhi were very powerful, and the two pairs of eyes suddenly stared at him fiercely, and they almost burned out four holes in him, Wu Yongjun didn't dare to answer anything at will.

Wu Zhi didn't speak, only looked at Old General Wu.

Old General Wu sighed and explained to him: "We are one step late, and when we found Qiao Zhixian, he was already dead somehow. The gangsters have been caught, but they don't admit it, and there's no reason for them to do so. ”

"General, you must seek justice for Xian'er." Qiao Shi said silently.

Old General Wu glanced at her unmoved, and said to Old Madam Qiao: "This case has been transferred to the Yamen, and the criminal is here, and it will soon be reported to the Criminal Department." You always have any suspicions, sue my entire Wu family! Tell the people in the capital to see, what is called a rake! ”
