The north wind rises, and the capital after the winter clothes festival is also winter. Winter goods are being bought and sold in the street markets, and of course, many seasonal roasted foods and snacks are also becoming popular on the streets.

Sugar-fried chestnuts and roasted sweet potatoes in winter must be the most popular street food, and they are also the recess snacks that the students of the college let the little maid prepare privately. Su Man asked Su Da to order all the chestnuts in the first pot early this morning. Now I have a few big bags in my hand waiting to be distributed to everyone to engage in "team building".

"Give"

"No, thank you"

Looking at Lu Ziming's appearance of no desire or desire, if it weren't for Su Man's involuntary swallowing of saliva when he saw the other party just now smell the chestnut bag that had just come out of the pot, he really didn't like this kind of food.

Now is the age when these children grow up, and the energy consumption is also large in winter, and it is common to eat snacks between classes. And Lu Ziming eats solid steamed buns made by his grandmother with flour fermentation most of the time, or wowotou made of whole grains, which looks like bland, and can only satisfy hunger.

At this age, it is normal for children to like snacks, look at this Lu Ziming smelling the sweet smell of chestnuts, or couldn't help but glance at the chestnuts in Su Man's hand and immediately returned to his senses to read and eat Wowotou. A hard-mouthed child has very honest eyes.

Su Man's eyes rolled twice, and after looking around, he leaned close to Lu Ziming and whispered, "That ....."

“......”

She pointed to Lu Ziming, pointed to the nest in the other party's hand, and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

Lu Ziming saw a yearning look in Su Man's eyes, as if he was eating something delicious in the world, and nodded inexplicably.

"I'll give you half a bag of chestnuts!" Su Man seemed to really want to eat that nest head, and carefully discussed, "Squad leader, you can share one with me~"

Looking at Su Man with a slanderous face, Lu Ziming raised his eyebrows, and then looked at the gray, gray and yellow dry and hard nest head slightly puzzled, these rich children have unique tastes. Let's just share her with a nest head.

Just when he was still shocked by the unique preferences of this classmate, he saw the other party pat him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, your name is greedy!" ”

“......”

"One bag, no more" After saying that, Su Man took the chestnut meat he had just dialed and stuffed it directly into Lu Ziming's mouth.

Then he stuffed a bag of warm chestnuts into his arms, and picked up the largest nest from his food bag with lightning speed, and held it in his mouth and muttered vaguely, "You have eaten this girl's chestnuts, you can't regret it."

Is this a forced buy and a strong sell, Su Man held his head in his mouth, and looked at Lu Ziming with a smile on his eyebrows, like she Su Man picked up a big bargain.

His mouth was filled with sweet chestnuts, looking at the sweet-eating classmate in front of him, with a bag of hot chestnuts in his arms, Lu Ziming had an indescribable sense of warmth surrounding his heart.

"You don't need to ......," Lu Ziming had just finished eating the chestnuts in his mouth, and before he could finish speaking, he heard someone shouting at the door, Su Man.

Then, seeing Su Man's face sank, she said to Lu Ziming, "Squad leader, you help me and my master take leave, I need to go back immediately if there is something in my house." ”

Lu Ziming didn't even ask about any situation, and nodded directly, "Do you need help?" ”

Hearing this, Su Man smiled and said, "Helping me and Master Shen take leave is a great favor," and then she quickly left the classroom and left Bailu Academy without looking back.

Li Yuanfang and Song Ci didn't see Su Manren when they came back, and they saw that there was an extra bag of chestnuts on their tables. Song Ci opened the bag and ate a chestnut directly, which was sweet and glutinous, and was very satisfied.

And Li Yuanfang looked at the chestnuts that were still steaming on the table and looked around for Su Man, but there was no trace of him, the other party's desk had been cleaned up, and he should have left early, and he didn't even have time to say goodbye. She frowned and looked back at the sky outside the classroom, what was the urgency?

At this moment, the sky is cloudy, and the winter day without sunlight is a little colder, the chestnuts sent by Su Man are the warmth in the winter, and the other party's thoughtful and attentive appearance almost makes Li Yuanfang forget Su Man's original confused appearance.

She glanced at Lu Ziming, who was staring at the chestnut in her hand in a daze, and pulled the corners of her mouth slightly. It is really not easy to let the class leader who is principled in everything and keeps a distance from everyone accept chestnuts, this Su Man is really not simple.

Su Man, who was not simple in the carriage over there, had already listened to everything that had just happened in General Tangyuan's mansion.

This time it was about Mrs. Qi's groundless "romantic affairs". Secretly, he is smearing the General's Mansion, whether it is secretly taking in the spirit boy to block the rumors and then taking a concubine, in short, it is all aimed at Su Cheng.

Su Man sat in the carriage and kept biting her fingers, this kind of taking advantage of the public's psychology of hunting for curiosity and eating melons to spread rumors, she has also done. And she is at most fooling those who are superstitious, but as the saying goes, those who are fools will be fooled.

Hehe, as long as a person tells a lie, he has to cover up the first lie with countless lies. The ancients did not deceive me.

Su Man looked at the street scene that flashed quickly outside the carriage, and his mind was also thinking quickly.

"Miss, what should we do now? Those people were clamoring to send Mrs. Qi to the official for investigation, and there were still people outside who said that they would send Xiaobao to Qin Tianjian to cultivate...... "Tang Yuan was like a little bee buzzing and talking non-stop, making Su Man unable to concentrate for a while.

"Stop!"

Su Man slapped the door panel of the carriage twice with a serious expression, and shouted again: "Stop!" ”

The chattering rice balls on the side were so frightened that he immediately opened his eyes wide and blinked twice, looking at her in a daze. Su Da, who was driving, also immediately tightened the reins, "Drive, drive~~"

Before he could stop the carriage, Su Man had already come out of the back curtain, with one hand by Su's big shoulders, and with the other hand holding the skirt directly and flexibly jumped down, and then stood firmly on his knees in the middle of the road, scattered the skirt in his hand, and patted the crumpled skirt twice. The movements of the whole vaulting carriage are smooth and done in one go.

Su Da, who watched her jump out of the carriage, stiffened her back, and a cold sweat crossed her forehead. The moment the master jumped into the carriage and landed on the ground, he felt that his little life had also been closed by the ghost gate. Oh, my eldest lady, I will not die in the line of duty but be scared to death by you in the future.

Seeing Su Man land safely, the heart of the tangyuan in the carriage was also relaxed. Then I heard Su Man shouting to a few people at the corner of the street, "Brother Zeng, please stay", Tang Yuan's heart was raised again, and it was really against etiquette to shout men in public.

Hearing the crisp voice of the girl behind him, several people walking on the other end stopped at the same time and turned their heads. When he saw that the person who spoke clearly was Su Man, Zeng Yunyi walked over quickly, clasped his fists and saluted from a zhang away, "Miss Su, don't come unharmed"

"Don't come unharmed, don't come unharmed," Su Man learned from the other party to salute casually, and didn't wait for others to greet him, and immediately asked: "Do you know where Mr. Ding, Mr. Huang, and Dr. Lin, who are in charge of the accounts in your village, go to rest after work?" ”

"Dare to ask Miss Su what they are looking for?"

"A few of their tigresses are looking for trouble in my general's mansion."

"What?"

"Those people didn't return to the village last night, and today a few ladies came to the general's mansion indiscriminately to embarrass Mrs. Qi."

"Mrs. Qi in the General's Mansion?" The other party's voice was a little high, and he looked incredible.

"Brother Zeng, what you care about is wrong" Su Man raised his eyebrows, clasped his hands on his chest, looked up at Zeng Yunyi twice, and then stopped and said, "I don't have time to talk to you, just say that you know where those people usually rest in the city?" ”

"Yes, that's all there is to it."

"Okay, can you help us find them?"

"No problem" Zeng Yunyi agreed without thinking, but the other people on the other end shouted to him when they saw this, "Brother Zeng, the money shopkeeper is in a hurry to ship, you ...... like this"

"Brother Wang, please tell the money shopkeeper that Zeng has something important and can't go."

"Hey! You ......"

Before Brother Wang finished speaking, he saw Zeng Yunyi patting his shoulder to signal that he didn't need to say much, seeing that his eyes were firm, Brother Wang just shook his head helplessly and said, "Go early and come back early."

Zeng Yunyi nodded and then got into the carriage with Su Man, and he sat next to Su Da, the coachman, to show him the way. It's just that a few people looked for a few cheap wine shops around the outer circle of the capital, but they didn't find the three people in Anping Village.

At last in a wine shop outside the city gate, the carriage stopped, but the two coachmen in front of him did not get off. Su Man was slightly curious, and opened a slit in the curtain to check out the scene outside.

I saw where the rough Zeng Yunyi was, and stabbed Su Dadao with a slight twist, "Brother Su, can you help go to the boss lady in front to ask about the situation."

Hearing the sound, Su's forehead jumped, and he looked at Zeng Yunyi, who seemed to be blushing a little, and shook goosebumps all over his body.

"Then keep an eye on the carriage, I'll come when I go"

After that, Su Da stool flew directly in front of the Sifang Wine Shop with a slight effort, and before he could speak, he heard a soft voice coming out

"This hero is really handsome and extraordinary, I just saw you do it, you are really a hero"

“......”

"Where do you live, can you have a match?"

"This lady ......"

"Hey, you don't have to be so outside, you will be weak in the year of the crown, just call me Sister Chun"

“......”

Although the woman was laughing with Su Da, her eyes couldn't help but look at the carriage behind Su Da, but when she saw that Zeng Yunyi lowered her head and didn't dare to look in her direction, she laughed and called loudly: "Brother Yunyi, why don't you come in and drink a glass of water and wine?" ”

Zeng Yunyi, who was cue, froze his body directly, looked at the other party awkwardly and said awkwardly, "No, no, boss, may I ask Brother Ding, did they come here to drink yesterday?" ”

"Yesterday?" The woman held her temple with her hand as if she was reminiscing, but Su Man saw that the other party had been watching their carriage. When the other party saw the sign of General Su's Mansion on the carriage, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes and said, "How can I remember, did they commit a crime?" Don't get involved with our little shop."

The voice obviously didn't have the previous teasing, more of a feeling of rejection thousands of miles away, but the other party's obvious eye dodging and nose touching showed that he was lying.

Su Man took a closer look at the situation in the Sifang wine shop. The wine shops outside the city gate are not as good as the wineries in the city, and there are no private rooms inside, so the drinkers can be seen at a glance in the lobby of the wooden house outside. People don't need to ask when they're not there.

But on closer inspection, the three employees here look as handicapped, one with a lame leg wiping the table, one with a poor hand is keeping accounts with an abacus, the other is a man with sound limbs, and a cook with a broken eye is frying peanuts. The common characteristic of several people is that no matter what kind of work they do, their body shape and standing posture are always more spiritual than ordinary people, and they have a little more martial arts atmosphere.

Su Man asked in a low voice in the carriage, "Brother Zeng, do you know who the proprietress is in the shop?" ”

"I heard that they are all wounded soldiers" Zeng Yunyi's tone revealed a faint sense of regret, and then said, "The boss's younger brother was killed in a raid on that place in Lingnan five or six years ago, and those employees were all her brother's teammates."

Su Man glanced at the proprietress on the other end, only to see the other party's eyes glancing at the room in the inner hall of the wine store again.

"This boss lady, the three of them didn't commit any trouble just now" Su Man got out directly from behind the curtain, jumped out of the carriage and walked to the boss lady, "But the wives of several of them have been used and are looking for trouble in the mansion of the general of Suzhou City."

After speaking, Su Man found that the eyes of several other employees outside seemed to be glancing at the inner hall of the liquor store. It seems that there is a mystery somewhere.

When he found that Su Man began to stare at the inner hall, the proprietress stepped forward to block the other party's sight, looked the other party up and down a few times, and said, "Little girl, you don't bully Chunniang, I haven't seen the market." Where do those rural women dare to go to the mansions of the nobles in the capital to find trouble, besides, even if they have the guts, they don't have the strength."

After that, the proprietress stepped forward and grabbed Su Da and Su Man, and drove them out and said, "You have to get it, the old lady doesn't have time to talk to you, you are not here to drink, don't bother me to do business." Walking"

"You woman, don't pull and pull in public" Su Da immediately pulled out his arm and jumped away.

Su Man didn't want to waste time, so he pointed to Su Da and gave another look at the inner hall of the wine shop. The other party understood, and directly accelerated his steps, and did not raise the dust to the top of the wine shop.

"Hey, hey, hey," the proprietress pointed to the roof and shouted, "What's the matter with you, if you break my roof, you'll pay me." It's all terracotta, hey, don't step on it."

Su Da quickly ran to the top of the inner hall, and then jumped in front of the door of the inner hall.

"That's the old lady's boudoir, you are responsible for trespassing into the girl's boudoir!"

Hearing this, Su Da's hand that was about to push the door couldn't help but tremble. As he hesitated, a rag came straight to his door.

Between the lightning and flint, Su Da could only let go of the hand that pushed the door and retreated to avoid the "hidden weapon". There was still a faint smell of wine from the place where the rag had been swept by. Su Da fixed his eyes and saw that it was a lame running hall three zhang away, and he didn't know when he came here.

The two glanced at each other, and directly started to fight.

Although the lame man's legs and feet are not bright, the other party can wave the "rag" like a small rope. After a stormy rag attack, Su Da was forced to take a few steps back. No, it seems that you can only get serious.

As soon as Su Da jumped onto a table, the lame man hooked the corner of the table with a rag and pulled it hard, and the whole table turned over.

"Lao Liu carefully tables and chairs!" The proprietress looked distressed and didn't care about the lame injury at all.

Su Da jumped down and grabbed it directly when the other party's rag flew again. He hooked his foot to the chair next to him and flew directly at the cripple's ankle. The lame man had to throw the rag in his hand and retreat to the side because of his unstable center of gravity and had to avoid the chair.

Seeing that the road in front of him was coming, Su Dabian jumped to the inner hall, but before his hand was put on the door frame, an abacus came from the side again.
