It's the little woman. Du Mei stepped forward and was deeply blessed.

Du Mei wondered a little in her heart, she was just a girl from the remote countryside, how did he, who was in the imperial city and was a prince, know about her?

"It turns out that the prince knows Du Mei?" Murong Xi was also very surprised and asked in surprise.

"The name of Du Mei should be known to everyone in this imperial city. Not to mention that you used a flock of ducks to extinguish the locust plague, it is like a myth in Beijing, that is, the dolls, clothes, pillows, etc. that you operate in Luomeixuan, each of which has your plum embroidery, your name, too familiar, my ears, have long been nagged out of calluses by Qing'er. Chu Zhan is very kind, there is no prince's arrogance, and when he speaks, he shows a father's love for his daughter.

"The prince praised it falsely, it was just some gadgets of boudoir women, and they couldn't be put on the stage, but it made the prince worry about it." Du Mei stood aside and said humbly.

"It's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows, I like it, dare to say that, there will be great achievements in the future." Chu Zhan nodded approvingly, paused, and then pointed his finger at Murong Xi and then at Du Mei, "You guys...... How did you come together, old acquaintances? ”

"The prince's eyes are really like torches, I have indeed known Du Mei for a long time, and I have nothing to do today to go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I specially came to visit, just to ask the prince for help." Murong Xi shook his head to the ground.

"The little woman dared to beg the prince to save Shen Zhanghua and Lin Dai today!" Du Mei threw himself to his knees.

"What does this mean? Get up and talk! Chu Zhan made a gesture to help Du Mei, but glanced at Murong Xi out of the corner of his eye.

"Here's the thing, Du Mei won the reward for exterminating the locust plague, so he ran a volunteer school in his hometown, and sent the student to Qinghe County to try a few days ago, but he was unexpectedly framed by Zhuang Zhizhou with a cheat sheet, and then he was involved in Shen County's order, and now the two have been put in prison, and their life and death are uncertain!" Murong Xi told everything in detail.

Chu Zhan listened carefully, occasionally interjecting a question or two, sometimes nodding, sometimes twisting his eyebrows, thinking very seriously.

"Since ancient times, cheating in the imperial examination is to be punished heavily, the so-called clear self-clear, turbid self-turbidity, this matter involves court officials, but also need to report to the emperor for ruling, tomorrow morning, I mention it, you can rest assured, they will be given justice." Chu Zhan waved his hand and asked Du Mei to get up.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Du Mei got his words before he stood up and thanked him.

"Then let's listen to Xin'er again tomorrow?" Murong Xi asked.

"It's okay, if Ming'er has good news, you will know it immediately, and I won't have to work hard to deliver the letter." Chu Zhan said with a smile.

"So good, very good." Murong Xi slapped his face happily.

"I have a reluctant request, if Du Ruren is not in a hurry to leave, can you accompany my Qing'er, she is very obsessed with your embroidery." Chu Zhan turned his head to discuss with Du Mei.

"How can the little girl be able to accompany the county lord, it is an honor." Du Mei is asking for help, so he naturally agrees.

After a while, a well-dressed woman in her forties came in and led Du Mei to the boudoir building of the county lord Chu Qing.

Chu Qing is only thirteen or fourteen years old cardamom years, born delicate and lovely, innocent, she has admired Du Mei for a long time, she saw it today, very kind, she didn't want her to serve her, only accompanied her to talk, and she was very happy.

Du Mei remembered the rules of the big family that Murong Xi said, and there was nothing wrong with sitting and walking, and while talking, Du Mei only picked up some topics that the county lord liked to talk about, from dolls to pillows, the two talked very happily, in addition, Du Mei told her that Luo Meixuan can customize clothes, and the fabric patterns are unique.

Chu Qing was immediately moved, just waiting for the weather to be warmer, and then he could customize the skirt beautifully. Speaking of joy, time flies, and when it comes to dinner, Chu Qing insisted on leaving Du Mei to eat, before letting her go and inviting her to come back next time.

The woman led Du Mei back the same way, Murong Xi was waiting in the front hall early, Chu Zhan took a break at noon, it was inconvenient for them to say goodbye in person, fortunately, the previous white man was guarding outside the house, and at first glance he was a confidant, Du Mei gave him all the silver tickets on her body, the man postponed it slightly, Murong Xi followed and persuaded a few words, and the man accepted it all.

Not to mention that Du Mei went back with Murong Xi all the way with anxiety, just that the white man saw that the two of them were gone, so he pushed open the door and stepped in.

"Bai Sheng, are they all gone?" Through the landscape screen, a majestic voice came, not as amiable as just now.

"Yes, Lord Wang, that girl left behind 15,000 taels of silver tickets." Bai Sheng, a white man, walked into the inner room and respectfully handed over a stack of silver tickets.

"You take it, it's a big deal, in order to save those two people, it's really out of the way!" Chu Zhan sat behind the big case with his backlight, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

"This girl is not simple, I heard that yesterday the ninth prince almost turned over Jiangling City in order to find her, and now she is still working Murong Xi to come forward and ask the prince, Murong Xi has such a strange temperament, and he can get such a big favor, not everyone can do it." Bai Sheng said with a solemn face.

"I have to say, this girl is not only beautiful in life, but also makes money, not only Lao Jiu's weakness, but also can contain Murong Xi, such a person, it is rare among thousands of people, if it can be used by me, it can be worth a million male soldiers!" When the words fell, Chu Zhan curled his fingers and knocked heavily on the big case.

"Speaking of which, Sixi is not wronged if she loses to her." Bai Sheng twisted his eyebrows and whispered.

"Hmph" Chu Zhan exhaled heavily from his nostrils, "Is it still glorious for a big man to lose to a yellow-haired girl?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing that his master seemed to be angry, Bai Sheng hurriedly diverted the topic, "Do you really want to give up Zhuang Dong?" ”

"Zhuang Dong is lustful and greedy for money, timid and afraid of death, he is a full wall grass, if he doesn't occupy the position of Ningzhou Zhizhou, I really can't tolerate him in my nose, and now he is dying by himself, no wonder others!

"I heard that Qinghe County ordered Shen Zhanghua to be honest and honest, and he was deeply supported by the local people, but according to me, he has no backer in Beijing, otherwise, he had a meritorious service in disaster relief last time, and he should have been promoted. Chu Zhan raised the corners of his mouth, although his words were asking his subordinates, but they were unquestionable and did not accept refutation.

"That's natural, and then the entire Jiangling City will be up to the prince." Bai Sheng arched his hand.

"I'm not the only one who wants to help Ming'er, this time, I'm afraid I'm going to stand and talk to Lao Jiu." Chu Zhan smiled, smiling meaningfully.

"This is an unexpected joy, although Chu Pei is suspicious by nature, but Chu Lin and he are siblings, and they are always more tolerant, it is really not easy to separate them, Ming'er happens to be an opportunity!" Bai Sheng snapped his fingers excitedly.

"The cheating case in the imperial examination in Qinghe County is beneficial to us and harmless, far more than killing three birds with one stone, we must seize the opportunity, no matter what the result of the trial is, seize the opportunity, dispose of Zhuang Dong, hands and feet must be clean, do not leave a handle, I only believe that the dead who can't open their mouths are the most reliable!"

Chu Zhan whispered gloomily, creepy, "Also, in the evening, you go and tell the people in the palace, don't stretch your hand too long, if it hurts a good thing, I will chop her up carefully and feed it to the dog!" In this world, there are no three-legged toads, but there are many two-legged women! ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Hearing this, Bai Sheng nodded again and again, his back cold.

Murong Xi sent Du Mei back to the Wu family's courtyard, as if he had something to do, he didn't stop, turned around and got into the car and left.

Du Mei took a break, and planned to go to Aunt Wu's noodle shop to help, but when she entered the back hall, she heard a noise in the dining room, and hurriedly stepped forward to check.

I saw that there were many people around the three floors of the dining room, and the Wu family in the crowd was jumping on their feet to scold, and in front of her sat an old man in shabby clothes, with a fish basket at his feet, and in the noodle bowl on the table, he drank not even a drop of soup.

"Aunt Wu, what's wrong?" Du Mei squeezed in and asked.

"The girl came just in time, you give me a comment, this bad old man ate my face, but he didn't give money, and he wanted to use those hairy fish to settle the account, how can it be reasonable!" Wu said angrily.

"I fished on the riverside, fresh, if it wasn't for my crockpot being broken, I wouldn't have eaten the noodles you made." The old man was very unconvinced.

"Oh, if you say that, you're still reasonable!" Wu was so angry that he kicked his fish basket.

"Aunt Wu, don't worry, I'll take a look." Du Mei crouched down and looked.

I saw that there were more than a dozen crucian carp and white fish in the fish basket, which were kicked by Wu, and they all jumped in panic.

"Aunt Wu, let's not embarrass him, I'll make a pot of small fish potstickers at night." Du Mei whispered.

"Forget it, you will pay off the account, you are lucky, the girl has said good things for you today." Wu saw that there were too many onlookers, and the old man really didn't look like he didn't take the money, so he had to give up stupidly.

"It's still this girl who knows the goods!" The old man muttered as he poured the fish into the basin.

In the afternoon, Wu prepares the ingredients in the stove, while Du Mei scrapes the scales and cleans the fish and hangs it in a ventilated place to dry.

In the evening, Wu took care of the business ahead, and Du Mei found a clay pot to boil corn porridge on the small stove. Occasionally not busy on the stove, Du Mei hurriedly fried the dried fish, and then started another pot, fried shallots, ginger and garlic, poured the fried crispy fish into it, sprayed soju, poured a little vinegar sauce and soy sauce, added soybean sauce, boiled over high heat, pasted the pre-made dough cake on the side of the pot, covered the lid, steam a cup of tea over low heat, twisted a little salt, sprinkled with chili pepper and minced green onion to increase the fragrance.

"I finally don't have to eat noodles today!" When the noodle restaurant closed and the guests left, Old Man Wu was very happy to smell the aroma of rice porridge and fish, he limped and took the dishes back and forth with chopsticks.

"You dead old man, the young master likes the noodles I make, and you dare to dislike it!" Wu said dissatisfied

"I've eaten it all my life, even the dragon liver and phoenix marrow should be tired." Old man Wu pouted.

"Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, come and try my craft!" Du Mei saw such a handful of old couples for the first time, and they could still quarrel so sweetly, she tried her best to hold back a smile and said.
