Chapter 83: Good Sisters?
Yun Niang couldn't, so she ordered someone to send her away, and told again: "Send someone to follow her secretly, if she is discovered, then you will-"
She silently made a fierce and resolute look, and the people around her immediately nodded and took the order. But no matter how scheming Ren Yunniang is, she would never have imagined that this girl still has such courage. When she learned that Mrs. Xiang might escape and finally be safe, she resolutely chose to use her own way to complete her revenge plan!
It didn't take long for it to rain outside, and Yun Niang counted the days, and then realized that the spring of this year had ended, and tomorrow would be the beginning of summer.
On the day of the beginning of summer, there are many folk customs of egg fighting.
When "Mrs. Lin" came to the Four Seasons Tea House with Fang Fei with "Maid Yan'er", she saw Fang Fei and a few maids getting together to "fight eggs" when she entered the door.
He had seen this trick in Beijing before, but because the world said that the trick of egg fighting could only be played by girls, if the man's hand touched the egg on the day of Lixia, then the egg would crack immediately, so naturally he never participated.
As for the rumors that the man and woman have other things, of course, I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, the boy doesn't play.
However, when she watched Fang Fei carefully select the eggs that could stand up from the basket of eggs, she couldn't help but smile slightly, and her expressionless face immediately softened a little.
When Fang Fei saw him, she came over, blessed him, and called out affectionately: "Sister Lin, why do you have time to ask me for tea today?" β
Lu Zhaoming, who was called "Sister Lin", stiffened his face slightly, and then replied with a smile: "That's the case, because I'm going back to the capital in a few days, and I only have one friend in Los Angeles, so I want to say goodbye to you before leaving." β
Fang Fei smiled, pulled him to the table, pointed to the basket of eggs on the side and said, "But it just so happens that today is the beginning of summer, Sister Lin, you can also pick one to play!" Behold, we are all standing up. β
Lu Zhaoming's heart trembled, and when he looked at it again, sure enough, the eggs on the table were all head-down. It was just such a moment, and he felt a cold sweat on his back about to run down.
"This ...... The customs of your Central Plains are different from those of our big food country. Our women over there never touch raw eggs because they are not very lucky. β
Fortunately, he was inspired to adapt and immediately used the different customs as a reason, so he finally got out temporarily.
Fang Fei was obviously a little disappointed, but also expressed understanding: "That's it, that's okay, let's go in and have tea, anyway, it's just to make up a fortune." β
Saying that, she pulled him to the private room inside and sat down, after the maids put down the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei, it was quiet all around, Fang Fei asked while making him tea: "I heard that Sister Lin was originally a big eater in the Western Regions, and later lived in Beijing for a long time because her mother married to the capital." Don't hide it from my sister, I also want to go to the big food country to buy some spices, I don't know if my sister has a familiar official and businessman who can guide the way? β
It turned out to be for business! - Seriously, hearing her big truth at this time, Lu Zhaoming was not disappointed in his heart. But he also vaguely felt that Song Fangfei was so straightforward, which showed that she was not a person who liked to beat around the bush, in other words, if such a temperament was changed to someone else, he would be very happy to associate with her.
So he quickly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, because he was still holding the false post of a foreign affairs minister from the Wupin Supervision Envoy, and the trade between these foreign merchants and the provinces of the Dasheng Dynasty was relatively clear, so he began to talk to her about spices.
Because his opinion is pertinent, he also counts the price of goods in both countries, and even knows which spices should be purchased more advantageously and where.
After two teas, Fang Fei knew that she was not looking for the wrong person. This Mrs. Lin seems to be indeed the family and daughter of the Department of Foreign Affairs, and she is the most poor, and she also knows the situation of Da Shiguo well, so this friend must be made by herself.
So he arranged for someone to go down to prepare food and leave guests for lunch together, and led Lu Zhaoming to taste many of the treasures and famous teas he had collected in Suri, and finally talked about the situation of meeting in Yunze Temple that day, Fang sighed, shook his head and said: "It's really terrible, it's the first time I've seen such a strange situation when I've grown so big." Now people all over the city are talking about it, but I think this case is very strange. β
She said this to Lu Zhaoming's heart, and then asked: "Then if you come to handle the case, who do you think these monks were killed?" Now Yunze Temple has been sealed, and the former abbot, Monk Baozhen, is also locked in prison. Supposedly, if it weren't for God's curse, no one would have to kill these monks, right? β
Fang Fei glanced at him, and felt in her heart that this Mrs. Lin, who had half-Hu blood, seemed to be very bold, but after thinking about it, the people of the Great Food Country were originally outgoing and enthusiastic, and one side of the water and soil raised the other side, so she replied: "I think the reason why these people want to kill these monks in broad daylight is to put pressure on the imperial court, and also to intensify the relationship between Tantra and Zen Buddhism." In short, it is to make things bigger and muddy the waters, so that they can take advantage of the opportunity to start and achieve their goals. β
"Well, you have a point. It's a pity that you're not in the capital, otherwise I can often come to you for tea and chat in the future. β
Fang Fei smiled at Mrs. Lin and said, "I haven't had time to tell Sister Lin yet, I'll go back after a while, and I'll often interact with my sister when the time comes, and I hope my sister won't annoy me." β
"Really? That's great! β
Lu Zhaoming felt a little excited and happy in his heart, although he knew that General Song would definitely take his daughter back, but he could hear this from Fang Fei's mouth, although the object she said was "Sister Lin" instead of him, but he was still happy.
This Four Seasons Tea House is located in a relatively remote archway in Los Angeles, and the alley is called Siqian Lane. The first floor is the faΓ§ade for the guests who come to buy tea to choose the tea leaves, and there are also maids who specialize in making tea, and the second floor is a very empty and elegant place.
Although it was the first time for Fang Fei to entertain guests to eat here, because the small kitchen in the backyard was available, and she specially asked people to go to Yuelai Tea House to pick up a few signature dishes there, so the hospitality was not restrained and cold, but because of the elegant and peaceful environment, it added to the warmth and closeness of home.
Originally, she only invited Mrs. Lin alone today, but when it was almost time to start the meal, Yin Chonghua, who had never gone out in a partial way, came here with a maid to pick up tea. Hearing that Fang Fei was also here, she went upstairs to say hello.
