"What, I can't come?" Cai Li walked to the table and sat down, did it himself, poured a cup of tea, and poured another cup for Shen Yiyi.

The shopkeeper automatically and consciously helped them close the door. Outside the door, there are not only the domestic slaves of the Jin State Mansion, but also the domestic generals of the General's Mansion, who are very safe and can talk about it at will.

Shen Yiyi put the food box on the table and explained to Hu Shu: "Hu Shizi, you and Cai Gongzi are both my great benefactors, and Cai Gongzi has taken risks for the Shen family, so I think he has the right to know what we are going to say today, and I can't hide it from him." ”

Yes, although he helped Shen Yiyi, the person who really gave her shelter was Cai Li. Hu Shu slowly turned the teacup and did not object again.

Shen Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly opened the food box, and brought out the steamed mutton: "Hu Shizi, I made a dish of steamed mutton according to the ingredients you gave, you can taste it while it's hot." ”

The fresh fragrance of mutton and the sweetness of taro came to his nose, Hu Shu was about to pick up chopsticks, but the plate was snatched away by Cai Li: "Let's talk about business first, don't say it, don't eat it!" ”

Hu Shu didn't argue with him at this time, and put down his chopsticks: "The Shen family was convicted because they didn't hand over the preserved plum blossoms, and the Queen Mother was furious." ”

Preserved plum blossoms? Cai Li never dreamed of this answer, and was stunned.

"The Shen family's plum blossom preserves, are they dedicated to the Queen Mother?" Shen Yiyi was surprised.

Hu Shu nodded and replied in the affirmative.

Even if the preserved plum blossoms are dedicated to the Queen Mother, this thing is too unbelievable, right?

Just for the sake of stuttering, the Queen Mother sealed the Shen family, and the whole family was arrested. ? As for it?

At this moment, Shen Yiyi was still puzzled: "Didn't I make hibiscus plum blossoms, and Jin Guogong is very satisfied?" ”

"I'm very satisfied." Hu Shu said, "But the Queen Mother insisted on asking the Shen family to advance the preserved plum blossoms first." ”

Why? What is so special about the preserved plum blossoms that the Shen family offered before? Shen Yiyi rubbed her temples and asked, "The Shen family was arrested in order to force the plum blossom to come up?" The Shen family's house and shop were sealed in order to find out the dried plum blossoms? ”

"Yes." Hu Shu replied, "But so far nothing has been found. ”

Of course, there will be nothing, the Shen family does not produce preserved plum blossoms, and the fruits sold in the fruit shop are all imported from other places, and the channels for each purchase are different. Since the preserved plum blossoms have long been out of stock, how can they be searched!

This kind of thing, it's just a matter of having no clue, the key is that Shen Yiyi thought about it, and still felt unbelievable: "Hu Shizi, are you sure that the Shen family was convicted, just because of the plum blossoms?" ”

There must be something else, right? There should be some inside story, right? Preserved plum blossoms are just an excuse, right?

Hu Shu shook his head slowly: "What I know so far is the preserved plum blossoms." ”

Oh my God, this is really the queen mother who is far away in the deep palace, is she too willful? Shen Yiyi asked: "If I can't find the preserved plum blossoms that the Queen Mother wants, what will happen to the Shen family?" ”

Hu Shu was silent for a while, and said: "The current Queen Mother is not the Holy Mother, and she is moody."

Understood, she may be beheaded, and it is useless to intercede with the emperor, so where does she have to start? Shen Yiyi looked at the tea in front of her and was distracted.

At this time, Cai Li suddenly asked: "Preserved plum blossoms are a tribute?" ”

"It's not." Hu Shu replied to him.

"Since it is not a tribute, the Shen family is a merchant, where is the qualification to present the preserved plum blossoms to the Queen Mother?" Cai Li said, knocking on the table.

"The preserved plum blossoms were presented to the Queen Mother through the Jin State Mansion." Hu Shu answered him again.

"Dedicated to the Queen Mother, you handled it?" Cai Li asked again.

"No, my father has always taken care of this matter himself." Hu Shu replied.

"I see." Cai Li said, "You originally planned to use Chongxi's excuse to let Miss Shen marry into the Jin Mansion to avoid trouble, but later found out that the Shen family's crime was plum blossom preserved, and the Jin State Mansion was also implicated in this matter, you were worried that the Jin State Mansion would not be able to protect her, so you notified me?" ”

"Yes." Hu Shu lowered his eyes. It was he who had no choice but to push Shen Yiyi out by himself, and he couldn't complain about others.

Shen Yiyi was greatly moved, stood up, and was deeply blessed: "Hu Shizi's great kindness, I don't know when I can repay it." ”

"I didn't help much, you don't have to take it personally." Hu Shu shook his head slightly.

Shen Yiyi turned her head to Cai Li and said, "You give the steamed mutton to Hu Shizi, it's almost cold." ”

Cai Li pushed with one hand, and the plate slid towards Hu Shu.

Hu Shu stretched out his hand to hold down the plate and said to Shen Yiyi: "In the future, we will exchange news, and we will make an appointment in Linshui Pavilion, how about it?" If I want to find you, I will ask the guys in Linshui Pavilion to send a plate of steamed mutton to the General's Mansion, and when you see steamed mutton, come to Linshui Pavilion. If you want to see me, so it is. ”

"Okay." Shen Yiyi nodded in response.

Hu Shu looked at Cai Li and said to her, "If Cai Li bullies you, remember to tell me." I wanted to ask her about her "marital status" alone, but who knew that Cai Li was staring so closely, it seemed that it would not be...

Shen Yiyi looked at Cai Li, who looked impatient, and smiled: "Okay." ”

"Is it all over? With that said, we're leaving. Cai Li stood up.

Hu Shu ignored him, and only said to Shen Yiyi: "Don't worry, I will try my best to save the Shen family out." ”

Shen Yiyi got up and expressed her gratitude to him.

"What are you talking about, eat your steamed mutton!" Cai Li kicked the stool, pulled up Shen Yiyi and left.

Hu Shu watched their figures disappear outside the door, slowly picked up chopsticks, and ate steamed mutton one bite at a time. The mutton has been slightly cool, but the entrance is still fresh and tender, the taro is even more melting, the food he and Shen Yiyi made seems to be particularly fateless, a pancake roll mutton, he chased to eat, and now a steamed mutton is more like begging

Hu Shu thought about it and smiled bitterly.

---------------------

Back in the carriage, Cai Li immediately lost his shape, lying with his arms on his head, two long legs stretched, and hanging his son.

Shen Yiyi sat next to him, her long eyelashes drooping, but she changed her expression: "There is something strange about this matter." ”

"You found out too?" Cai Li turned his head, "I thought you were immersed in gratitude to Hu Shizi and didn't notice it." ”

If she hadn't noticed, she wouldn't have even asked where the Shen family was locked up just now. But Shen Yiyi didn't want to think about Hu Shuchao's bad feelings: "Maybe Hu Shizi doesn't know, just now he said that his father is responsible for the matter of offering preserved plum blossoms to the Queen Mother." ”

When Hu Shu came to the door to ask for preserved plum blossoms, she was present, because the preserved plum blossoms were out of stock, Second Master Shen did not want to continue to do business with Jin Guofu, and strongly recommended him to buy them elsewhere. This is not the normal reaction of ordinary businessmen when facing the needs of the Queen Mother.

"Whether Hu Shu has good intentions or bad intentions, what he says is just one side." Cai Li crossed Erlang's legs and said, "These big families in the capital, meritorious families, which one is not a lot of dirty things, don't think too well about them." ”

She knows, she knows, although she doesn't know about this Liang Dynasty, but she has watched a few TV series and a few of them, and only the stone lion in front of the door is clean.

She is grateful to Hu Shu and believes in Hu Shu, but let her find out the truth by herself.

Shen Yiyi turned her head sideways, looked at Cai Li's eye-catching legs, and said, "I have to find a way to meet my second uncle." ”
