097. Kure-sama's Confession
"Don't be in a hurry......"
Before she finished speaking, she was cut off by Xia Lianzhi.
"How can I not be in a hurry!"
Mo Qiantao glanced around, "There are many people, come into the house and say." β
Mo Qiantao told the whole story again, and her mouth was dry again and again, and she had to endure her tiredness to appease Xia Lianzhi.
Xia Lianzhi sat for a while, she really couldn't rest assured that Xia Chunfeng was going to go to the Yamen Mansion to find someone to redress her grievances.
"Don't worry, he wants to be a good official who is loved by the people, and he will never settle the case hastily, he is waiting for the opportunity." The more Xia Chunfeng talked, the more mysterious he became.
"What's the explanation?" As smart as her, there are still things that you can't understand?
"If this matter is known to someone in the capital, he will be able to catch the thief before the emperor is angry, and it is not a great achievement, but it is not more meaningful than solving it quietly by himself?" With that, he chased after the erratic pair of chopsticks.
Mo Qiantao sighed, and suddenly brightened.
She had never seen Xia Chunfeng have such a good appetite, and she ate a greasy and crooked meal, until the jailer appeared and invited Mo Qiantao away, Xia Chunfeng reluctantly watched her leave.
Seeing that the two had a good relationship, the jailer couldn't help but flirt a few words, but they were all dismissed by Mo Qiantao's white eyes.
Not long after leaving the cell, through a crescent gate, I heard Wu Muyun and Li Junru discussing something, and after listening carefully, it turned out that they were discussing marriage.
"My lord, Miss Feng wrote again to ask why you haven't replied." Li Junru's voice will always be lowered a few points in front of Wu Muyun, so Mo Qiantao can hear it at once.
"Imitate my handwriting and send her a letter back, informing me that I am busy with official business." When Wu Muyun heard about Feng Rongxi, he couldn't hide his upset, and now he is so ignorant before he comes to the door, and he has to pestering his husband every day after he comes to the door.
Although Li Junru felt that it was inappropriate, he still agreed, and he never seemed to refuse any request from Wu Muyun.
After a long time, she didn't hear any movement, so she walked out with confidence, and under a few osmanthus trees, she saw Wu Muyun dressed in a moon-white robe, like an immortal who came out of the Heavenly Palace in the clouds.
She wanted to take advantage of his inadvertent departure, but before she could step out, she was stopped by Wu Muyun.
"It is reported that your braised duck shop has not been doing very well in recent days."
Mo Qiantao smiled, "Listen to what adults mean, do you want to lend me money?" β
"Those hairpins and bracelets on your body should be enough for you to last for a while." Wu Muyun turned around and faced her.
Mo Qiantao was stunned, she couldn't imagine that he even knew these things, and a feeling of being spied on made her unhappy, "I don't know that adults have a habit of inquiring into people's privacy." β
"I just think that you have a good duck stew, if you can't do it, do you still have a way to make a living?" He said with a smile, I don't know if he was gossiping or making fun of Mo Qiantao.
"Lord Xie cares, the adult's wedding date is coming, and the people wish the adult and his wife love and give birth to a noble son early."
The sense of alienation in Mo Qiantao's words made Wu Muyun unhappy, and a sense of anxiety suddenly rose, "You should know that I don't have love for her, why do you pretend to bless her?" β
Mo Qiantao was stunned, there are more people who have blessed him these days, and I don't see him confronting people like this, is it because he sees himself as a bully?
"If the adults don't like it, they just don't say it." Mo Qiantao sensed that his mood was wrong and was anxious to get out.
"Anyone can say this to me, but you Mo Qiantao can't!" There was anger in his eyes, like a leopard about to pounce.
Mo Qiantao was confused by his violent reaction, "What are you nervous about, you're crazy." β
Lose your marbles?
Wu Muyun sneered, he was probably crazy.
He couldn't listen to Mo Qiantao's mouthful: a folk woman. She should have been given by Zhang Zhen as a bed warmer......
She was supposed to be his.
Thinking of this, Wu Muyun's jealousy was like a raging fire, "If I had promised Zhang Zhen that you would be my person, would you still be so generous at that time?" β
"My lord, are you sick, how can you talk nonsense?" Mo Qiantao hurriedly dodged him.
"Nonsense?" Wu Muyun's heart hurt like a pinprick in his heart, "If I hadn't met you, why would I have to be like this." β
Mo Qiantao was forced into a corner, and she still trembled a little in the face of such a situation, "To put it mildly, how noble you are, even if you have countless bed warmers around you, this young lady under the Shangshu Mansion, you will not be left behind, isn't this all your ambition?" β
Her mind was a little dazed, Wu Muyun was confessing to her? This behavior is both terrible and unreliable, and it is better to keep your distance.
Hearing these words, Wu Muyun was sad, she couldn't think of her feelings, she was worthless by her, and she was angry, and her desire to possess her was even stronger.
The moment the eye made contact, Mo Qiantao noticed his dirty thoughts, and shouted behind him, "Little Liu-what are you busy with?" β
Wu Muyun was startled and immediately kept her distance, and Mo Qiantao took advantage of the loophole and ran away.
On the way back, her mind hadn't been able to turn a corner, and she couldn't believe that the fierce person was Wu Muyun. This person is too different from each other before and after.
*
The rain is pouring, beating the yellow leaves, and falling into autumn.
Guan Yao sat at the entrance of the shop embroidering to pass the time, her hands to cut pork, but now used to embroider, she herself thought it was incredible.
After a while, she sat down with numb limbs, and as soon as she stood up, she saw Yi Lang's flattering face, she pretended to be calm, "You want to buy duck meat?" β
Yi Lang smiled facelessly, "I just miss you, come and see you." β
Guan Yao smiled and didn't speak.
"Business isn't easy these days." Yi Lang touched his nose stupidly, feeling that she didn't want to take care of herself.
"It's not good to do, but you have to do it." She sighed, very helpless.
Yi Lang stepped forward and said mysteriously, "According to me, you just split up with Mrs. Mo, you see that the current situation of her family is not good." β
"Right? I have this idea too, but there is something in front of me that I can't let go. Guan Yao sighed, seemingly distressed.
When Yi Lang heard this, it was time for him to behave......
After sending Yi Lang away, a long-lost guest suddenly appeared in the shop: Xiao Guqin.
His appearance made Guan Yao very surprised, he hadn't seen him for more than half a month, and he was still humble and polite.
"Xiao Gongzi!"
"Call me Brother Xiao, I'm almost forty years old, and I really can't afford the title of son." Xiao Guqin smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth.
Wan Yao chuckled, "I thought you wouldn't be coming back." β
"I heard that the county magistrate is getting married, and there will definitely be many dignitaries and dignitaries at that time, so I brought a few cronies over to see if I can take this opportunity to make a little money." He pointed to the carriage not far away, on which several boxes were piled up.
When Guan Yao heard this, he seemed to smell a business turnaround, and he hoped that the braised duck store could take this opportunity to turn over.
"I have a few brothers here who haven't eaten, and I don't think you have much braised duck today, so you might as well give it all to me." Xiao Guqin was as bold and atmospheric as he first saw him, and he helped himself like this, Guan Yao was embarrassed.
"Brother Xiao, I know that you have the heart to help, but this can only help for a while, not for a lifetime, or we have to think of a way to solve the current dilemma is the most important thing." Guan Yao's words were sincere, and Xiao Guqin became more and more able to understand her difficulties.
Xiao Guqin said, "Give it to me." Back to the capital these days, I often miss your braised duck, which can not only help you, but also satisfy my appetite, why not. β
Passers-by saw that Guan Yao had sold all the ducks in the store to Xiao Guqin, and hurriedly posted them and whispered in his ear.
"You're a foreigner, we locals won't sell duck meat here, their family has caused people's lives, and everyone has gone to jail, it's really unlucky." The eldest lady carried a bamboo basket, which was filled with vegetables bought in the morning, and there were bright dew drops.
"Auntie, what are you talking nonsense, Chunfeng's case has not yet been decided, how do you know that he is a murderer, and besides, the one who died is also the guy who helped us work, we are the victims, how can the aunt talk like this." Guan Yao was angry, and rushed out with a straight face.
The eldest lady shrunk her neck and complained that Guan Yao was too vicious.
"It's unlucky for you to babble these things at the door of my shop, and other people are not so easy to talk to." Guan Yao crossed his hands on his hips, and his face turned pale.
Xiao Guqin smiled when he saw this, and said to the old lady, "Even if what you say is true, it will affect others?" Wouldn't that be all extermination? Is this humane? If one of her girls' family is harmed by the salivaing puddle of idlers, will you also become a heinous person, aunt? I'm afraid that if I go out on the street, I will be thrown eggs. β
Wan Yao was amused by his metaphor, and the atmosphere eased.
The eldest lady puffed out her cheeks, scolded Xiao Guqin for not knowing what to do, and directly picked up the bamboo basket and left in two steps.
Xiao Guqin was carrying a duck in one hand, and shouted at the pedestrians on the side of the road, "Come and take a look, everyoneβ"
When the pedestrians saw that Xiao Guqin was big, they thought he was here to find bad luck, so they gathered around and prepared to eat melons. I saw him tear a piece of duck meat into his mouth, nodded and said firmly, "It's delicious, it's not poisonous." β
His cute appearance made the passers-by laugh, and he immediately added, "But someone wants to taste it." β
There were many people in the crowd who had eaten their duck meat, but seeing that they were in trouble, people began to talk about cool things, even if they wanted to buy it, they didn't dare to blatantly do it, for fear that people would see the joke.
"I see you're greedy." Xiao Guqin pointed to a fat man in the crowd, and tore a duck leg for him with a quick movement.
Seeing him so generous, people rushed up, Xiao Guqin ate several ducks in one go, and at the end, there were still people who came up, Xiao Guqin said again, "I came to the capital to admire, how can I give it all to you, I still have a group of brothers waiting to eat." β
