Chapter 48: Cabbage
The words were decent and reasonable, and Jiang Qianyou was convinced by Xie Yushu.
People should not be disguised, and the ancients did not deceive me.
Pei Renkui looked at Xie Yushu, who was talking and laughing freely, and was silent.
He saw Xie Yushu's humility and tolerance with his own eyes, and he felt that it was not in vain. It's ridiculous that he used to think that Xie Yushu was a yellow-mouthed child.
Pei Renkui's brother Pei Renxiong is because of Princess Huiyan and belongs to Ning Lian's faction. However, Pei Renkui neither attached himself to Ning Lian, nor did he ever show favor to Yang Xiangye. As for Liu Weifeng, needless to say, he disdained to make friends with him.
Pei Renkui is in a high position, but he has always been outside the other factions.
This is also the consensus he reached with his brother Bae In-woong.
In case Concubine Ning Shu falls out of favor and Ning Lian loses power, the Pei family will be handed over to Pei Renkui at the helm, so that the whole army will not be wiped out, in order to make a comeback in the future.
At this moment, Pei Renkui was thinking about whether the Pei family should cross Ning Lian and directly show his sincerity to Xie Yushu, becoming another force after Yang Xiangye and Ning Lian.
Thinking of this, Pei Renkui also felt that this idea was good. When he goes back and counsels with his brother, he will make a decision.
Yushu accompanied the three of them to gossip, and Pei Renkui took the lead in getting up and saying goodbye.
He wants to leave, Dugu Mingyue and Jiang Qianyou have no reason not to go. They all got up to say goodbye to Yushu, and followed Pei Renkui out of Xie's mansion.
Yushu hadn't eaten early in the morning, and was busy entertaining them back and forth, and her stomach was rumbling with hunger at this time. The Zhang family had already eaten, so Yushu instructed Poria to put the meal in the front hall. The steaming wontons and a few side dishes had just been served, and Qiu Tan came to report that Baili Ji had arrived in front of the mansion, and Ci Ye was helping him lead the horse to the stable.
Baili Ji and Ning Lian's severe punishment of Jiang Kai's remaining sins, His Majesty has not yet approved. At the same time, colleagues from other towns have not yet returned to Beijing, Dali Temple has not really operated as usual, and official business is not very busy.
It was also a coincidence that Ci Ye went, Baili Ji had just finished processing the paperwork at hand, and as soon as he heard that Xie Jiu was looking for him, he knew that something was wrong. Otherwise, the servant will not be ordered to find the Dali Temple with the prayer post. So, he didn't ask the reason carefully, hurriedly asked his boss for leave, and quickly whipped up with Ciye to the Xie Mansion.
On the way, Ciye and Baili briefly talked about Gao Kuo's situation and Yushu's worries.
Stepping into the front hall with both feet, Baili couldn't wait to say: "Xie Jiu, do you want me to check ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw the wontons on the table, "Huh?" What meal did you eat? ”
Yushu smiled lightly, "Breakfast." He raised his hand and beckoned Baili Ji to sit down, and instructed Poria to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks.
Baili Ji waved his hand again and again, but said, "I've eaten it, you don't have to be polite." "He's the age to eat, and he's running on horseback, so he's hungry after a bumpy ride.
Yushu said softly, "Recently, I have lost my appetite and have a poor appetite. You should use it with me, okay? "Speaking skills, the dishes and chopsticks are ready.
Feeling bad again?
Baili looked at Xie Jiu seriously, his complexion was still black and yellow, nothing had changed, his lips seemed to be a little powdery, and he looked bloodier than Yuan Ri, thought about it, and asked him: "Or, I'll ask an imperial doctor to take a look at you, okay?" ”
Yushu served five or six wontons for him, "Stuffed with cabbage, shrimp and mushrooms, home-cooked method, you can eat and see, whether it suits your appetite." ”
Cabbage? Baili Ji pursed his lips. He is the least fond of cabbage, to be exact, he does not like vegetables. After thinking about it again, the roasted okra last time was good, not to mention that everything that passed through Xie Jiujin's hands was delicious, so it didn't hurt to try it. If it's unpalatable, close your eyes and take it as medicine!
Baili Ji has the ambition of sacrificing himself for righteousness, holds the spoon, takes a bite and chews it carefully. The skin that absorbs the thick bone broth is soft but not rotten, the shrimp is sweet, the shiitake mushrooms are fragrant and the cabbage is crispy
, the three are integrated with each other and set off each other, resulting in a seemingly ordinary, but not ordinary, ravioli.
"Delicious!" Scooped up some soup and tasted it, "It's delicious!" ”
Yushu added two or three more wontons for him, and the trembling big stuffed wontons were about to overflow from the small porcelain bowl.
"Eat more. It's cold outside, but it's warm. ”
"Hmm!" Baili Ji still has a conscience, and at present, he has not forgotten the stubble of the imperial doctor, "Xie Jiu, I will help you hire the imperial doctor when the first month comes." ”
"No, I don't. There are medical women in my house. Yushu took a sip of the hot soup, "Mr. Gao's business, Ciye told you, right?" ”
"Got it." Baili Ji put down the small porcelain bowl and looked solemn, "Xie Jiu, you should have explained this matter to me earlier." ”
When Xie Jiuyuan went to Baili Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, Gao Kuo was already in Xie Mansion. But Xie Jiu was chatting with him all day long, but he didn't say a word.
"I originally planned to hand over Mr. Gao to his apprentice Dugu Mingyue to bring back, but I didn't want to keep Mr. Gao to live in my mansion. Therefore, I have not mentioned it to you. Later, something happened to this, and it coincided with the end of the year, and I didn't want to disturb you and your family, so it was delayed until now.
It is true that I was negligent and inappropriate. Eleven Lang, you won't blame me, right? Yushu said, sandwiching some cold kelp for Bailiji.
Hearing this, Baili was a little embarrassed.
No matter what kind of doubts he faces, Xie Jiu is slow and reasonable, and he does not hesitate to explain the causes and consequences. In contrast, he seems to be harsh and narrow-minded.
"How could I blame you." Hundreds of miles are extremely unexpected.
Yushu smiled at him, stopped talking, and concentrated on breakfast.
The two of them used it, and it was almost noon.
Yushu took Baili Ji to Gao Kuo's house and showed him the mirror flower silk jacket. The color of the flowers is not too prominent or conspicuous.
Baili Ji took a cursory look, frowned deeply, and asked, "Washed?" ”
Yushu nodded and said, "Yes, it also smoked musk, it smells good, right?" The clothes in the house are stored in this way, to prevent silverfish, and to ward off evil spirits. ”
Washed and smoked, destroying important clues. What do you say about silverfish prevention and evil spirits?! Baili Ji clasped his hands on his shoulders and said nothing.
Yushu understood from his attitude that he had said something stupid, sighed, and slid her index finger back and forth over the jacket, her right hand hidden under the sleeve of her robe as usual. Baili Ji glanced at it, and his whole heart suddenly turned into a pool of spring water.
He's not proficient in everything.
"The clothes are of little use, and I can't find anything out." Baili shook his head regretfully, and his tone was soft.
"How so? This is Yanzhou Mirror Flower Aya, just go to the silk village and ask if it's okay? Yushu raised her eyes to look at Bailiji, her eyes burning. She doesn't know how to investigate cases, it's all a matter of course, so it is.
"Silk Village? Not to mention other places, there are 167 in Kyoto. This does not include the merchants who enter and leave the four major gates of Kyoto every day. In addition to needles and threads, hairpin ring jewelry, and shoe upper embroidery, the merchant also pulls some fabrics and sells them at nothing. The texture of the pattern is not as good as the satin village, but it is more convenient.
Yushu was stunned for a moment.
Baili Ji didn't want to say it, she didn't know that there were so many silk Zhuangzi in Kyoto.
Xie Jiu was silent, his expression was dumbfounded. Baili Ji thought that his tone was not good, which scared him, coughed lightly, and said as gently as possible: "Xie Jiu, I want to say that the road of silk Zhuangzi will not work." You see, even if you run one house a day, if you want to run them all, you have to run them all for half a year. ”
"So, what should I do? Is there no way to check it? Yushu immediately messed up.
