Chapter 169: Letter from Home
Shi Zang felt a little irritable, the weather in Hongzhou seemed to be too hot, and people couldn't help but want to kill someone to relieve their anger, especially when a big fly kept following, this feeling was even stronger.
He turned his head to look at Zhuang Rou, who had been following him all the time, with a smile on his face, and said coldly: "What do you want to do, don't follow me anymore." β
"The flower thief over there is unreliable, I think you are much more powerful than him, is it good to teach me martial arts?" Zhuang Rou quickly put away her smile and said.
As long as she still needs to learn martial arts from herself, it's just a joke, Shi Zang said coldly: "I said it just now, I can't teach you, it's useless to talk about it." β
Zhuang Rou blocked his way, frowned and promised: "I will definitely not embarrass you, if I am stronger, it will only be good for adults." β
Shi Zang couldn't bear it anymore and said: "I can only kill people, if you want to learn it very easily, just kill a few more people." Besides, I don't think you need to learn anything, just buy a pig's head and put it in the yard, and practice quickly and accurately. β
"Pig's head?" Zhuang Rou was stunned for a moment, then watched Shi Zang shake his hand and leave. She stood on the spot and touched her chin and thought for a long time, then went out to buy two pigs' heads.
I turned around the outside, only to know that if it was not set in advance, the pig's head would be bought and marinated early in the morning, and it was afternoon, where could I buy the pig's head.
On weekdays, she doesn't go to buy pig's head for cooking, and she doesn't know how to cook and eat that kind of thing when she takes it home.
So, Zhuang Rou set two pig's heads a day at a meat stall in the vegetable market closest to Yamen. In the morning, when they finished killing the pigs and entered the city to set up a stall, they sent them to the yamen to give them to the guards, and the money was paid in advance for a month.
Usually it is laborious to sell pig heads, but now the government directly sets two pig heads a day, and says that there will be more in the future, which makes Butcher Zhang overjoyed.
He was a red-eyed person who sent meat to the yamen, and considering that there were so many people in the yamen, it would cost a lot of silver to eat meat just a day. Now that he has such a good opportunity to climb the relationship, he doesn't want to sell only two pig's heads, so he flattered and said: "My lord, do you only need pig's heads?" This rib and hind leg meat are good, so let's have a little bit of it? β
Zhuang Rou waved his hand and said, "No, the pig's head is fine, other places are useless." β
"How can it be useless, my lord, my meat is fresh." When Butcher Zhang heard this, he quickly picked up a piece of meat and said.
Zhuang Rou smiled and said: "It's really just a pig's head, I'm not used to eat, it's used to practice my hands." β
Butcher Zhang was stunned, this cooking skills and a pig's head to try?
Seeing his stunned look, Zhuang Rou was afraid that he would misunderstand that he liked to eat pig's heads, so he explained: "The pig's skulls are strong, I want to use them to practice, if I can smash the pig's skull with one blow, this will be considered a practice." β
"Ahh Butcher Zhang finally understood, and was so frightened that the pork in his hand fell onto the board, this is to beat the pig's head as a human head, practice killing!
Seeing that he finally understood, Zhuang Rou said with relief: "It's good to understand, and it's not in vain that I specially explained it to you." Don't forget to send it tomorrow. She waved her hand and turned to leave, leaving the butcher standing in front of the stall in a panic.
When Zhuang Rou walked away, he relieved himself and patted his chest vigorously, this female official was really terrifying. But the next time I meet her to commit murder, I shout out the pig's head, which can be regarded as a bit of friendship, and I can escape under her.
Thinking about it this way, Butcher Zhang felt that he had earned it, and he sent pork directly to the yamen, and he would not let this official remember it, and it was still cost-effective for himself.
Although he didn't succeed in learning martial arts, he was able to set two pig heads to improve his strength, and Zhuang Rou was still in a very good mood. No one came when the notice of recognizing the body was posted, so she had to go out to investigate with the notice, so she just shot the pig's head in the morning and went out to solve the case in the afternoon.
As soon as she returned to the yamen, Ma Dezheng rushed up to greet her, "Sister Zhuang, the capital has sent a letter, there is your letter!" It's right there for adults. β
"Brother is writing a letter!" Zhuang Rou was overjoyed in her heart, and immediately ran towards Qingfeng Ju with a smile on her face. Calculate that I have only been here for so long, but so many things have happened, this place is too unlucky.
Zhuang Rou was secretly happy in her heart, thinking that her brother must be missing her, and there was really no way to take him.
She ran into Qingfeng Ju like a gust of wind, and shouted from afar: "My lord, where is my brother's letter!" β
Chu Xia was sitting in front of the bookcase, pretending to be serious about his work. Hua Yu upstairs is very fast, as a portable scribe has been sitting in the middle of the breeze, is holding a book, reading in a colorful voice, "The woman's shirt is lightly untied, revealing the delicate skin of jade fat and ......"
Just as he was about to talk about the key place, Zhuang Roufeng rushed in, ignoring the frightened eyes of the two, quickly looked left and right, and found that there was a big burden on the table.
She immediately rushed over, picked up the burden, and shouted happily: "It must be this, my brother actually brought me so many things!" β
Chu Xia said unhappily: "Hey, do you know the etiquette, and you can't say a word when you come in." β
"Who cares about you, don't make any noise." Zhuang Rou didn't bother to pay attention to him, held the burden high above her head, and turned around happily before jumping to the round table where she was eating. Put down the burden and open it in a hurry.
There was a letter in the baggage, as well as some clothes and a bag of snacks.
She opened the letter and read it carefully, and sure enough, it was the same as at home, full of things telling her to take care of her body, not to make trouble, and if there was really trouble, let the king of Yindejun carry the black pot and the like.
In the letter, she nagged and wrote a lot like an old mother, afraid that she would worry about herself, Zhuang Xuewen also said that in addition to going to the palace to be a companion for two hours, life was the same as before, so that she could rest assured.
"It's so good......" Zhuang Rou smiled after reading the letter, and then read it carefully again, and then carefully put it away in her arms.
Chu Xia squinted at her like that, snorted and said, "It's just a letter written by my own brother, look at you like that, I don't know and think it's a lover." β
Zhuang Rou is in a very good mood now, and she doesn't care about naΓ―ve people like him, she just raises her eyebrows and says proudly: "Can the lover eat?" My brother also brought me so many things, all of which are my favorite food in the capital! β
"But don't think about it, I won't give you anything to eat!" As soon as she hugged the burden, she stuck out her tongue at Chu Xia, and wanted to walk away with it all.
Chu Xia was born from the side of his guts, and when he saw that she was about to slip away, he immediately said: "You don't know yet, the emperor has just appointed Feng Liangshui, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch Bingbi, as the eunuch of the palm print, to lead the Gongwei pro-army and protect the emperor's safety. β
Feng Jingshui?
Zhuang Rou stood at the door and blinked, the eunuch who looked like a demon and devoured blood was really good. She shrugged and said, "What does it matter to me that he is promoted?" β
"I don't know what you've done to him, but according to the people around him, he seems to be very interested in you." Chu Xia said with a smile.
"Who is spreading this nonsense!" Zhuang Rou said angrily, "I'm not a palace maid, I can still eat with him!" If he comes, I won't blow his dog's head with a stick! With that, she ran away with her baggage.
Chu Xia touched his nose, if it weren't for Hua Yulou being here, he really wanted to tell Zhuang Rou that it was Zhuang Xuewen who made the emperor decide to appoint Feng Jingshui.
I really don't know what kind of expression she will have at that time.
