Chapter 208: Another Pile of Broken Things
The meals were placed up one by one, Shen Shiliu and Du Xuanmo ate them, and when they were finished, they went downstairs.
As soon as Yanxia saw that the person had come down, she asked, "How are you eating?" In fact, she also wanted to listen to Shen Shimei's opinion to see if the two cooks in the family were not doing well, and where there was improvement, it would be better to improve it as soon as possible.
As a result, Shen Shiliu blinked his eyes and said, "It's good, it's worthy of being my apprentice!" ”
Yanxia: "......" is really eaten for nothing!
Du Xuanmo smiled, and then said to the shopkeeper of Yanxia: "Check out." ”
Yanxia hurriedly said: "That's unacceptable, how can Master Du still collect money for a meal!" ”
Du Xuanmo smiled lightly and said, "Forget it." ”
Yanxia looked at Shen Pomegranate and found that Shen Pomegranate's face was not angry, so she dared to settle the account, and finally collected the money, and Shen Pomegranate said, "Your dish is expensive!" It's twice as expensive as mine, and there are a lot fewer customers at once, so I can't help but open another branch in Kyoto City when I look for you so well! ”
Yanxia was scared, she knew the horror of Shen Pomegranate's shop, but ......
"The price of this dish was set by Steward Li, and it is estimated that it was also influenced by our master's wishes, so I dare not change it......" Yanxia said embarrassedly.
As soon as Shen Shiliu heard the music, he left without saying anything.
Xiao Zhi deliberately made the price of the food more expensive, just so that he would not rob her business, there are many rich people in Kyoto City, and there are many people who are unwilling to line up to come to his Deshun Building, so that the money is earned, and people are not offended, this trick is not bad.
Sitting in the carriage, Du Xuanmo let the carriage go out of the city.
"Where else are you going?" Shen Shiliu asked, she thought she would go home after eating.
"I'll take you to see the snow." Du Xuanmo said.
Shen Pomegranate raised his eyebrows: "Look at the snow?" What's there to see? "It doesn't snow much in Kyoto City, so it melts when you step on the ground.
Du Xuanmo smiled silently, selling a pass, as the carriage went farther and farther out of the city gate, Shen Shiliu could see it.
The official road is lined with forests and mountains, and at a glance, it is covered with snow, and unlike in Kyoto Castle, the snow outside the castle remains intact, and it looks like the sky and the earth are vast.
"I really don't know if I don't see it, I'm shocked when I see it!" Shen Shiliu sighed that he was in the vast world, and he always felt that people were very small.
Du Xuanmo wrapped Shen Pomegranate in his arms with his own cloak, and then said: "I saw it when I went back to Kyoto City, thinking that this place should be more spectacular these days." ”
"Spectacular indeed!" Shen Shiliu said.
The two looked at the snow for a while, Du Xuanmo took Shen Pomegranate into the carriage, and Tang Pozi also stuffed it into Shen Pomegranate's arms, and said with a wry smile: "The family should know that I will take you to see the snow on such a cold day, and I guess I will talk about me." ”
"If you don't say it, I won't say it, no one knows!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile.
When he got home, Shen Pomegranate roasted the fire, and after dissipating the cool air on his body, he went to see his pair of children. became a mother all of a sudden, Shen Shiliu felt that he was still very clumsy, and the posture of holding the child was not as professional as Du Xuanmo's.
Du Xuanmo also came over, one by one, Du Xuanmo likes his daughter very much, but he doesn't care much about his son.
"It's all children, how do you feel that the second child is not your own!" Shen Shiliu couldn't cry or laugh.
"A stinky boy, I can't drive away in the future, my daughter is good, my daughter is my father's little padded jacket, and now I can't think of my daughter getting married!" Du Xuanmo said.
Shen Shiliu laughed, saying that her daughter was her father's little lover in her previous life, and now she feels that her daughter is Du Xuanmo's main palace in her last life!
After dinner in the evening, the nurse went back to sleep with the child in her arms, Shen Shiliu took the book and wanted to look at it twice, but Fushun outside hurriedly came and knocked on the door.
Fushun glanced at Shen Shimei, and then said to Du Xuanmo: "Young master, there is a guest at the door." ”
"I see, here it is." After Du Xuanmo finished speaking, he turned around and asked Shen Shiliu not to wait for him to sleep first.
Shen Shiliu was anxious and asked, "What kind of guest can you be at this hour?" Is something happening again? ”
Du Xuanmo comforted Shen Shimei: "It's okay, what really happened was that the forbidden army directly arrested people, I'll go out and have a look first." ”
It was the first time Shen Shiliu had encountered such a situation, although he was worried, he could only watch Du Xuanmo leave first.
Du Xuanmo closed the door, and hurried to the gate, the father-in-law at the door was the emperor's close attendant, and when he saw Du Xuanmo coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Du." ”
"Father-in-law." Du Xuanmo said a word, and then asked, "It's so late, but there is an urgent matter in the palace?" ”
The father-in-law nodded and said, "There is indeed an urgent matter, this is the emperor's secret decree, Lord Du will look at it first!" As he spoke, he took out a letter and handed it to Du Xuanmo.
There was nothing on the envelope, and there was a dark seal inside the envelope, which was not visible from the outside.
After Du Xuanmo finished reading it, he said, "I'll enter the palace with my father-in-law." After speaking, he told Fushun to stay at night, and then followed his father-in-law into the carriage.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Liang Zhengxin was also there, and he was also a little surprised when he saw Du Xuanmo. When the father-in-law saw that everyone had arrived, he led them all into the palace.
When he walked to the study, Du Xuanmo asked Liang Zhengxin in a low voice: "What does Lord Liang think the emperor should call urgently today?" ”
Liang Zhengxin shook his head and said: "The old man doesn't know, but the palace will be summoned after the key, which is extraordinary, and you and I will still see the opportunity to act in a while." ”
"That's what my lord said." Du Xuanmo said, even Liang Zhengxin Du didn't know what was going on, and this time the matter should be extraordinary.
When I arrived at the imperial study, my father-in-law went in to report, and then let the two of them go in together.
In the study, in addition to the emperor, there are two other people, Chu Mingcheng, the military department Shangshu, and the military department squire Gu Yuanzheng!
Du Xuanmo thought about it in his heart first, working with Gu Yuanzheng before was to be a talisman, this time he was summoned, isn't the matter of the tiger talisman not over?
When the emperor saw that everyone was together, he said straight to the point: "The old tiger talisman has been stolen." ”
Du Xuanmo frowned, thought about the joints in it, and made sure that there was nothing to do with him before saying: "Your Majesty, although the tiger talisman has been stolen, the old tiger talisman has lost its utility, even if it is stolen, it is useless." ”
Liang Zhengxin nodded and said: "But this matter still needs to be thoroughly investigated, although it is an old talisman, but since someone stole it, it should also have some purpose." ”
The emperor also nodded, looked at the two people in the military department, his face was so dark, and said: "If this is not the case, the two of you are already in different places at this time!" "The emperor is also holding his breath, now give the military department a chance to redeem the merits, otherwise the military department will count one and all of them will not be able to fall behind!
Du Xuanmo could see the emperor's anger, but no matter how angry he was, now the problem of the old soldier talisman must be solved, but this time Liang Zhengxin is also there, and Liang Zhengxin will say many things, so he doesn't have to open this mouth.
Liang Zhengxin saw Du Xuanmo's attitude, and stepped forward to say to the emperor: "This matter needs the cooperation of Dali Temple, the military department is strict, and if you can take things inside, there must be a traitor, and it is a deep-rooted traitor, it is not easy to investigate at this time." ”
The emperor nodded, and after thinking about it, he said: "I let Dali Temple come out, but this matter has to be provoked by Lord Liang." ”
Liang Zhengxin took a step forward and said: "The old minister obeys the order, but the old minister is old, I'm afraid there are some things that are powerless, so it is better to let Lord Du help and strive to solve the case as soon as possible." ”
Du Xuanmo smiled bitterly in his heart, Liang Zhengxin pulled him down again, but the emperor also brought him to the palace, and the emperor should have planned this matter for a long time.
"Accurate!" The emperor directly approved it, and Du Xuanmo could only accept the order.
However, this matter is about the turmoil in the military camp, and it is the right thing to investigate secretly, only a few people in the military department know that something happened, and they dare not spread the news, and for Liang Zhengxin and Du Xuanmo, the military department is now also trying its best to cooperate.
When Du Xuanmo left the palace, he was also sent back by his father-in-law, and when he got home, he found that Shen Shimei had not slept yet.
Shen Shimei couldn't sleep, she used to worry about Du Xuanmo, but now that she has a child, she is even more worried, and when Du Xuanmo comes back, she breathes a sigh of relief.
"What's the in the palace?" Shen Shiliu took the clothes and asked.
Du Xuanmo smiled bitterly: "It's really a bad thing, but it's not a big deal, don't worry." ”
Shen Shiliu didn't ask much, since it was summoned late at night, it must be a secret matter, as long as Du Xuanmo was fine.
Lying down, Du Xuanmo hugged Shen Shimei, wiped it and said, "Finally no more." ”
Shen Shimei smiled bitterly, she gave birth to a child, she was fat, and her figure was crazy on the edge of being out of shape, and she had to pay attention to maintenance in the future.
The next day, Du Xuanmo went out, Shen Shimei went to the warehouse, she didn't take care of the family for a few days, Du Niangzi and Yin Qingqing couldn't take care of it, and now that she was out of confinement, she should take over what she should do.
There are a lot of things in the warehouse, Du Xuanmo's current status, there are many people who come to give gifts, she didn't show up when she was full moon wine, this time I came back to the warehouse to see, there were a lot of things.
I remember a lot on the gift list, just looking at the name is very high-end and atmospheric, Shen Pomegranate has heard before, gold and silver are priceless, jade is priceless, and there are many good things in this gift list.
"Sun Tianba is also here to deliver something?" Shen Shimei saw that Sun Tianba sent two Vajra Buddha strings, and the people here are still Buddhas, and sending Buddha strings is also an auspicious wish.
As soon as he thought of Sun Tianba, Shen Shiliu pondered that Sun Tianba should also come out now.
On the other hand, Du Xuanmo still acts as his own errand every day, secretly thinking about how to insert people in the military department, and first see what is wrong with the military department. Chu Mingcheng's brain hurts, the military department is his territory, and it is indeed bad to insert people into his territory, but the matter is also in his territory, the emperor has not pursued it this time, and he does not dare to have any more opinions, Du Xuanmo is what he says, just insert a person, insert it!
Du Xuanmo saw that the military department was very cooperative, so it was a problem to insert anyone here, and finally got Sun Tianba up.
"Sun Tianba, is Mr. Xu's favorite apprentice recently?" Liang Weizheng asked, Du Xuanmo is also under Xu Mao's name, and he can be regarded as Sun Tianba's senior brother.
"Yes, Zhengchou has no pedals, he must be willing to come!" Du Xuanmo said, with a hint of a smile.
