Chapter 62: The Scourge of Prison
After Qi Yunshu prepared the dry food, he quietly slipped to the Fenglin River where he had fallen down the river before, and found a farmer's house to rest at random.
made up a story and told the family in a very high-profile way that she fell from the bridge yesterday and soaked in the river for a night, and hid in the mountains for a night before daring to come out.
The peasant family is very simple, her acting skills are good, it didn't take much to believe her, plus the broken silver she had in hand to open the way, and greeted her deliciously.
Qi Yunshu took the opportunity to linger in that family for two days, counting that Zhao Jing must have arrived at Baoning Mansion and had already started the exam, so he staggered and hired the family's ox cart to return to Nancheng.
She went back in embarrassment, but Zhao Sanniang was in a hurry, and pulled her to look at and pick her up again and again, until she confirmed that she had no serious injuries on her body.
It's just that I'm worried about her situation and worried about Zhao Jinglai.
It wasn't until Zhao Jing had already started the exam at this time that Zhao Sanniang was relieved.
"Oh, is this Aunt Seven?"
As soon as the sister-in-law finished speaking, before they had time to change their clothes, Liu Cailian came in with her stomach up.
As soon as she came in, she looked behind the two of them, and saw that there was no Zhao Jing and couldn't help but lower her eyes: "Could it be that Uncle Seven has successfully entered the examination room this time?" ”
She never thought that Zhao Jing, who had already experienced three failures, would succeed this time.
Looking at Qi Yunshu's outfit again, in addition to not being tall enough, he is another Zhao Jing.
Apricot eyes narrowed slightly, and her heart was clear for a while, so it was! It seems that those people were played by the husband and wife! She clenched her handkerchief tightly, and the look in her eyes was dark.
At the same time, Qi Yunshu was also looking at her.
She was different from usual at this time, with a sharp look accompanied by a bit of gloom, and a hint of anger under the gloating, Qi Yunshu couldn't help but start to make a bold guess, could it be that Liu Cailian knew the person who attacked Zhao Jing?
Or maybe she was one of the masterminds at all, otherwise why did she come to the door as soon as she got home?
Qi Yunshu thought a little too much, and her brain, which had not rested well for several days, hurt a little, so she simply fell into a coma on the spot.
Zhao Sanniang was startled, and didn't bother to greet Liu Cailian, so she helped Qi Yunshu into the house.
Liu Cailian left with anger, and now she just hopes that Zhao Jing will not pass the test!
In the next few days, Qi Yunshu had no worries, and immediately went to work in Benwei Building after recuperating her body.
Tian and Qiu Niang were very happy to see her come back early, and hurriedly told her about the hot business in the restaurant recently.
"Old Madam Yun sent Mama Qin to fetch the medicinal food twice, but my skills are never as good as yours, and I won't come again after coming twice, I just said that I will come back when you come back!"
As he was talking, he saw Mama Qin coming in, and when she saw Qi Yunshu, she immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, isn't my wife dazzled, thinking about Yun Niang, Yun Niang will come back?" ”
Qi Yunshu was made to laugh by her exaggerated expression and happy tone: "Isn't it just that I'm back, I said that I've been sneezing outside these days, it turns out that you are always thinking about me!" Qi Yunshu also joked.
Mama Qin stepped forward to touch her cheeks, her hand felt tender, it was really her, and she said repeatedly: "I'm not the only one who thinks about you, even the old lady often has to talk to you a few times!" "I read it the most especially when I was eating!
Although Mama Qin didn't say the last half of the sentence, Qi Yunshu understood it and smiled indifferently.
She has a very open view of the relationship between people, and the relationship between people is nothing more than the value of each other's use of each other.
If one person has no usable value for the other, then it is destined that these two people will not go together, even if they can continue for a while with a superficial friendship, but it must not be a long-term solution!
Therefore, if a person wants to get more respect from more people and more resources, he must improve his ability and make himself indispensable!
So she didn't care about Mama Qin's intuitive opinion.
Being able to cook and being able to hold on to a person's stomach is also a skill!
She thought about it, but Mama Qin was embarrassed to be seen through, and handed her a post: "This is a post specially sent to you by our old lady, in a few days Madame will greet the two ladies from the capital, I thought that you are not here, we can only deal with the past, or wait a little longer, and wait until you come back to do it, this time it is good luck, I really hope to bring you back!" ”
Mama Qin excitedly introduced.
Qi Yunshu glanced at the hairpin flower post, which was a pattern of red and dark jacquard, with excellent workmanship, exquisite and elegant.
I know that this is the banquet invitation that has been passed down among the legendary noble ladies.
She shook the post and responded to it, and explained the reason why she returned early by the way: "I didn't expect to be there all the time, but I'm relieved to send him to the ground!" ”
"Yun Niang, let me tell you quietly, those two ladies who came are all people with face and pomp in the capital, if you take the opportunity to get married to them this time, your Zhao Shusheng will have the opportunity to enter Beijing in the future, and it will definitely add a big help.
But there is only one problem, they are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, I am afraid they have to eat something chic! ”
Qi Yunshu's eyes lit up, the wife of the official from the capital, this is a good opportunity to make friends.
She was full of answers, and looked at the date again, ten days later, it was still early, so there was no need to be too anxious.
Immediately put away the post, went into the kitchen, and personally cooked a pot of soup for Mama Qin, and filled it for her.
"It's too late today, I'll go to the old lady's house to cook a drink for her!"
"Hey, that's a good feeling!" Mama Qin responded, and the smile on her face turned into a big chrysanthemum.
sent Mama Qin away, and soon there were several small maids from several large families in the restaurant.
When I inquired, they all listened to the praise of the old lady of the Yun family and rushed to the medicinal food made by Qi Yunshu.
For a whole morning, Qi Yunshu was busy in the kitchen and never came out.
She didn't have lunch until the end of the hour, but she was tired!
Tian and Qiu Niang both looked distressed: "It's not okay to go on like this!" ”
This soup is more troublesome than stir-frying.
These ladies and ladies eat all fine things, and the raw materials have to be prepared for a long time, so that they can't make a few pots in a morning, a pot is divided into ten cups, and a cup is sold for a piece of meat and silver, except for the cost, there is a way to make money, but the key is too tiring!
Qi Yunshu slapped his thigh: "I have a way!" ”
She got up, took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the counter, and called Tian to sharpen the ink for her, and immediately wrote a medicinal diet recipe.
"Yun Niang is planning to sell it?" Tian is worthy of being in business, and he can see through it at a glance.
"That's right, although it's a long-term job for us to sell medicinal food to earn money, I don't really like this kind of thing that can't get out if you rush headlong into the kitchen. Of course, we don't sell this medicinal diet casually, just these people who often come to buy medicinal diets, tentatively ask them if they buy it! ”
"But if you sell these recipes, won't you completely cut off our business?" Qiu Niang didn't understand.
Qi Yunshu smiled and pointed to his forehead: "I don't know how much of this recipe is in here!" I will make you a different soup every day, and it will not be the same for a year! ”
Tian and Qiu Niangju both looked at her in surprise, and Tian once again felt that he had found a treasure!
Benweilou went from selling stir-fried vegetables, to operating medicinal diets, and then to selling medicinal diet recipes, and soon spread all over the homes of large households.
As soon as it was passed on, everyone heard that Mrs. Yun loved to drink, and they all wanted to take the opportunity to taste what it would be like to make this noble lady from the capital love it so much.
As soon as it spread out, the ten medicinal diet recipes that Qi Yunshu had drafted before were sold out.
Because they are all regular customers, one sold for twenty taels, and ten got two hundred taels, and she and Tian split it in half!
Qi Yunshu looked at the rising sun in the east, thinking that this was the ninth day of Zhao Jing's exam, and her heart was full of hope.
But I don't want their hot business to cause dissatisfaction among well-intentioned people for a long time.
This first one is Liu Cailian.
Ever since she made a name for herself with Old Madam Yun, she has been keeping an eye on her dynamics.
Seeing that she had stirred up the entire town's restaurants in just a few days, and seriously affected the business of her family's big restaurant, she was furious at that time.
This time, she didn't look for Huang Yuying's knife to go out, she thought the knife was too blunt, and no matter how fast she sharpened it, this time she went out in person.
She asked her brother to write a letter of paper, and on March 17, she sounded the drum of grievances from the county government and sued Qi Yunshu.
The efficiency of the county government was very high, and in the afternoon of the same day, the government officials were sent to Benwei Building to arrest people according to the guidance of everyone.
"Where is Qi Yunniang of the Zhao family?" The fierce official broke into the original flavor building with a knife.
The frightened diners who had just sat down scattered and waved their hands again and again to prove their innocence.
Qi Yunshu had just exchanged the silver on her body for a whole silver ticket of one hundred taels, and before she could collect it, she was grabbed by two officials one by one in the blink of an eye.
His hands were in pain, and the hundred taels of silver tickets that had not yet been covered in his hands fell like that: "The bold thief Zhao Qi Yunniang, you have committed the crime of theft, can you be guilty?" ”
Qi Yunshu was stunned, the crime of theft, when did she steal other people's money?
Before she could think clearly, the hundred taels of silver tickets had already been put into the bag by a black-faced official who had captured her, and she was about to reach out and touch her waist again. She screamed in fright and struggled quickly, but was knocked out by his slap.
Qi Yunshu, who was dazed, lost consciousness, and could only hear the commotion around him, with chaotic shouts and scolding, noises triggered by objects colliding, and cries and screams......
It's so hilarious!
"Plop ......" A bucket of water poured down, so cold that Qi Yunshu opened her eyes, and there was a dazzling light in the blur, so white that she couldn't see anything clearly.
She closed her eyes again uncomfortably, and before she could open them, there was a "snap" in her ears, and her face suddenly ached, and she received another slap.
"Hiss......" Qi Yunshu screamed.
In just a few moments, she was splashed with water and slapped again, but she didn't even know what she had done, she was really fed up!
A rough voice sounded overhead: "Haven't you woken up yet, splash again!" ”
"No...... Don't, wake up, wake up! Qi Yunshu knew that this person was talking about her, thinking that the hero would not suffer a loss, and if she splashed it again, she would be splashed to death, so she hurriedly raised her hand to indicate that she was awake.
"Hmph, toast without eating and drinking!" The rough voice sneered and continued: "The county lord has an order, you Zhao Qi steal the silver ticket, suspected of a huge amount, confiscate all the illegal gains on your body, and another fine of two hundred and fifty taels of silver, go to prison, read your first offense, and exile Liangzhou for three years!" ”
Qi Yunshu was stunned, what is it, she was cooking in the kitchen well, and she was caught inexplicably, and now this case has not been tried, she suddenly became a thief, and was confiscated and fined silver...... and exile......
"You ...... Why do you say that I steal money? As soon as she asked, the big slap of the official next to her immediately fell, and the pain of "snapping" made the left half of her face almost stiff, she gritted her teeth and endured it, she couldn't faint now.
I wonder if they had already taken her hand and pressed the fingerprint when she was knocked unconscious, because she seemed to have seen a white piece of paper with a red handprint just now.
Thinking of the darkness of the ancient officialdom filmed in the TV series, her heart "chuckled", and there was a panic of helplessness to the extreme.
"Hmph, you can't deny it in black and white!" The gruff voice waved the note in front of her.
"No, no, I didn't steal, I really didn't steal!"
"Didn't steal, didn't steal, where did you get a hundred taels of silver tickets from a little cook, and there were seventy taels of silver, you probably don't know that the Liu family's silver ticket is secretly written on it, you see......" The rough voice is a head catcher, surnamed Liu Sanlang, and people give the nickname "Liu Yanluo".
He is a notoriously brutal person in the town, and he is not as easy to get along with He Zhutou, who was in charge of law and order in the town last time when he handled the case in the Yun family.
This person is in charge of criminal cases, and the main method of handling cases is to use punishment and punishment again!
It doesn't matter if you are guilty or not, anyway, as long as you enter the hands of him Liu Yanluo, you will be guilty of three points, and if you are not guilty, you will not want to go out innocently anyway!
Now the one in front of him is no exception, the handprint has been pressed, as for what is written on it, what is said is not up to him to operate!
