Chapter 211: Encountering an Assassin in the Middle of the Night
Who is so ignorant and stealing food with her Miss Wang! Wang Shishi bit the fish bones in her mouth fiercely, raised her head with murderous intent, and met a pair of dark deep eyes.
It's this Shen Shao again!
"I didn't expect Lord Shen's taste to be so heavy, I thought that you, the dignitaries, didn't eat pickled things like sour bamboo shoots and sauerkraut." Wang Shishi smiled slightly, and said innocently, "These sour bamboo shoots and sauerkraut, when pickled, have to be mixed countless times, and I have seen people step on them with their feet." ”
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, several people present paused their chopsticks, and some girls, such as Chen Xiuya and Shen Miaojun, even had faintly stiff faces.
However, Shen Shao's face did not change and his heart did not beat, and even faintly increased the strength of the chopsticks, snatched the sour bamboo shoots on the plate, put them in his mouth steadily, chewed them slowly and methodically, and exclaimed: "This sour bamboo shoots are refreshing and sour, crisp and delicious, absorb all the rich juice of the fish soup, and when you bite into it, the soup is full of sour taste, which is really one of the best in the world." ”
Although Wang Shishi was very angry that he snatched his own food, what he said was so appropriate!
Well, this cultured person is different, even a meal of sour bamboo shoots can make him boast of flowers, and she doesn't read much, she can only say a word delicious!
She gritted her teeth and smiled, and suddenly raised a bright smile at Shen Shao, and said word by word: "Since Lord Shen likes sour bamboo shoots so much, then when Lord Shen returns to Beijing, I will definitely ask my subordinates to prepare a few jars for Lord Shen, and I hope Lord Shen will not dislike it." ”
How many jars of sour bamboo shoots? Back to Beijing? The smell along the way—
A person like Lord Shen would actually kick the iron plate! Everyone looked at Lord Shen with some sympathy, if he dared to refuse, maybe according to Miss Wang's violent temper, he would beat Lord Shen to the point of spitting out all the sour bamboo shoots just now.
What everyone can see, Shen Shao naturally saw it, he stiffened, and felt that this was obviously a proposition.
If you agree, Wang Shishi said a few jars of sour bamboo shoots, then it won't be a matter of a few jars, then his Shen Shao's carriage will definitely be stuffed to the brim, this thing, although it is delicious, but the taste is really big, plus he has a lot of officials to visit along the way, others don't know, and they think that he Shen Shao pulled a cart of back to Beijing!
If he refuses, look at the fire in the little girl's eyes, maybe he will be beaten by her so much that he will vomit out tonight's dinner before he finishes his words.
"What, Lord Shen is unwilling? Didn't you just boast that these sour bamboo shoots are delicious? Wang Shishi saw Shen Shao's expression stiff, the smile on the corner of her mouth became brighter and brighter, her bright eyes stared directly at Shen Shao, and her voice was delicate.
Not to mention anything else, Chen Xiuli and Hua Manxi were not used to her talking like this, and the two of them immediately got goosebumps.
"Original meaning, why don't you want to, then thank you Miss Wang for your kindness, this time the official came to Shishan County, not only for fun, but also to take Lord Chen back to Beijing to report on his work by the emperor's order, Lord Chen walked with the official, Miss Wang's sour bamboo shoots may be able to comfort the loss of Lord Chen leaving Shishan County."
Regardless of whether His Majesty wants such a big official as Shen Shao to bring Chen Xiuli and a seven-grade small county order back to Beijing to report on his work, as long as it comes out of Shen Shao's mouth, even if it is fake, Shen Shao will make it true.
Ren Wang Shishi never imagined that her cousin's journey back to Beijing that she had been planning for so long was forced out by her few jars of sour bamboo shoots!
"Hahaha, Lord Shen laughed, laughed, my cousin has a light diet and doesn't like such heavy things, if it's with my cousin, then this sour bamboo shoot-uh, I'll send a caravan to Lord Shen's house alone." Wang Shishi hurriedly changed her mouth and said.
Shen Shao glanced at Chen Xiuli lightly again, Chen Xiuli looked upright, had an elegant temperament, and was drinking the soup elegantly, a subtle envy flashed in his eyes, and this time he said sincerely: "Lord Chen is really a blessing, and this official is envious." ”
"Where, where, Lord Shen has a good reputation, my little sister has never had a very good temper, and I hope that Lord Haihan will do it." Chen Xiuli hurriedly arched his hand towards Shen Shao, and there was a lot of helplessness in his words.
"Cousin, if you go back to Beijing, will you take me with you? Manxi is going to Beijing again to choose the imperial chef, and you have to go back to Beijing to report on your work, wouldn't it be extremely boring to leave me alone in Shishan County? Wang Shishi's originally bright eyes dimmed, and she looked at Chen Xiuli with a blank look.
"When I settle down, I'll pick you up to play, and besides, I may have to come back to Shishan County to be the county magistrate." Chen Xiuli said suddenly.
"Why? I finally had a chance to return to Beijing, and besides, you are also from Kyoto, and it is time to marry a daughter-in-law in another year, so what are you doing in Shishan County? Wang Shishi began to get on her old mother again, and said bitterly, "If you meet a girl who matches your eyes, and you are embarrassed to mention it to your uncle, just tell my father to ask my father to prepare a dowry and go to the girl's house to propose marriage." ”
After hearing this, Chen Xiuli couldn't help but reach out and rub Wang Shishi's hair, put the scattered Liuhai behind her ears for her, and said in a low voice: "Okay, it's not your turn to worry about me, you better hurry up and find a good husband to marry, and then your cousin will prepare a rich dowry for you." ”
"Come on, just your little money, it's not enough to buy clothes, save a few years, and it's enough for a bead on my phoenix crown's head. I have so much business of my own, I need you to give me a dowry? If you really want me to be good, hurry up and marry a wife and have children, and give me a little nephew to play with. Wang Shishi smiled.
"What do you say, girl's family?" Chen Xiuli's face was calm, and he couldn't help but blush slightly at the moment.
"Ah, I'm jealous, Miss Wang, I'm going to be your cousin too." Song Su and Qin Baiting were so angry that they screamed, "Why doesn't my uncle have such a cousin at home!" Buy me clothes, feed me and shelter, and worry about my marriage! ”
Wang Shishi retracted the softness in her eyes, revealed her shrewd eyes in the past, looked at Qin Baiting and Song Su, and said word by word: "Okay, be my cousin, I'll ask you if you resist the beating?" You don't know what he was like when he was beaten up by me when he was a kid—"
After a table of people ate, they played and frolicked for a while, and then they packed up and washed up, ready to rest.
When we got off the ground today, everyone was so tired that their backs hurt, and they didn't care that the bed board of the farmhouse was soft and hard, and they almost fell asleep next to the pillow.
The moonlight was quiet, and Hua Manxi slept in a daze until midnight, but suddenly heard the sound of a fight.
She turned over from the bed, pushed Wang Shishi, who was lying with her, and said in a lost voice: "Shishi, wake up, something happened, it seems that there is an assassin!" ”
"The people in the entire Shishan County know that my Wangfu Mansion never exceeds 10,000 yuan, what kind of stab, sleep-" Wang Shishi planted peppers and caught fish today, tossing so much that she had no strength at all, muttered and said this, and fell asleep on her stomach again.
Hua Manxi frowned, only to feel that the sound of fighting outside the door was getting louder and louder, and shook Wang Shishi again, and said in a serious voice: "Don't sleep, Shishi, there are really people fighting, there is a prince in our business, if something happens, our business will not be able to continue." ”
This sentence really poked Wang Shishi's pain point, she jumped up from the bed with a carp, hurriedly began to get dressed, gritted her teeth and said: "How can you dare to make trouble on my Wang Shishi's land!" Wait for the old lady to chop him up and make you chili sauce! ”
"Wait, I'll go check on the situation first." Hua Manxi saw that she was about to go outside after tidying up her clothes, so she quickly grabbed her.
"Wait, I'll go and see first, your mother is just your daughter, and I still have a younger brother who can't be successful." Wang Shishi pulled her hand away and was about to open the door.
Hua Manxi: "........" This girl looks like she is in a hurry, but if she is really good to a person, it is really good.
"You open the door, I have a dagger." Hua Manxi also squeezed forward, took out the dagger that Xu Gongzi gave her for self-defense, and motioned for Wang Shishi to open the door.
Wang Shishi didn't hesitate anymore, opened the door gently, there was a faint fire in the courtyard outside the door, and the guards brought by Nan Jinxing and Shen Shao were already in full swing with the visitors, and even Qin Baiting and Song Su and a few others also joined.
But the person who came was obviously professionally trained, his moves were ruthless and orderly, and he was not disturbed in the slightest by Qin Baiting, Song Su and others who suddenly joined.
"I'm going to find my cousin!" Wang Shishi hurriedly dodged to the room next to her, Chen Xiuli had already gotten up, and when he saw her, he said coldly, "Shishi, why are you up?" Quickly hide in the room with Chef Hua. ”
"Are you stupid, everyone is hiding in the room, they will burn us to the point that there is no slag left, it is imperative to let the guards deal with it first, and quickly let the two people drive away, the target in this small courtyard is too small, their martial arts are very high, and it is easy to succeed! Let's go apart! ”
"Shishi is right, move faster!" Hua Manxi also rushed over, and said faintly in a trembling voice, "Brother Chen, you hurry up and take the Ninth Master to go first, Shishi, you take Master Shen, go separately." ”
"Manxi-" Wang Shishi wanted to drag Hua Manxi with her, but Hua Manxi pushed her and advised, "Go quickly, bring two guards, you must not let the guests have any mistakes, I stay, I have a light cloud." ”
The fight outside is getting more and more intense, there is no time to be wordy, Wang Shishi is also a person who can carry it clearly, she has seen Danyun's kung fu, so she can only turn her head at the moment, and pull Chen Xiuli to the courtyard where Nan Jinxing and Shen Shao live.
"I didn't expect that the enemy's family would chase this small place, what? Didn't scare Miss Wang, did you? Shen Shao and the others also woke up, and when they saw Wang Shishi and Chen Xiuli rushing over, they smiled slightly, and said with a calm expression.
