Chapter 473: Forgetting Worries and Sugar and the State Banquet (18)

When the original owner handed the key to the house to Bai Li, Bai Li really understood the meaning of the phrase rich and easy to do. It turns out that being a rich man is such a pleasant thing.

This person who has no money, wanders on the streets, and it is difficult to beg for food. If you have money, buying a house is as simple as buying a radish and cabbage.

With the key in hand, the couple did not hesitate and hurried back to the city, but when they arrived at the place where the beggars had gathered, they saw a mess. There were not only kicked over stalls, broken dishes and chopsticks, but also torn clothes and scattered bloodstains.

Bai Li ran to the opposite shop to ask the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper refused to say at first, but later saw that she was really anxious, so he half-covered the door of the store and said to her: "Arrested, all arrested!" ”

"Who took them? Who took them? ”

"I don't know, they're all soldiers." The shopkeeper looked out: "There are many yamen in this capital, but the soldiers are all the same, and I can't see any difference." I only know that as soon as you left with your front feet, a group of soldiers rushed over with your back feet, and they took all of them away without saying anything. I also know about those beggars, and I know that you and your wife are both well-meaning people, but some of these idle things can be managed, and some idle things cannot be managed by us ordinary people. You guys, as if you've never encountered such a thing, should go shopping, eat and eat, and leave when it's time to leave. ”

"This is the Imperial City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can those people be like this?" The white glass is uneven.

"Hey, the closer you are to the sun, the easier it is to have shades. What imperial city, what the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the eyes of us ordinary people, are the same. I grew up here, and I haven't seen anything. I can't bear to see you two unlucky, so I persuaded you. Listen to me, just pretend that you have never encountered such a thing, you should eat, you should drink, and you should go home. Seeing that you are not very old, you should be a young couple who have just gotten married, but don't affect your family because of these outsiders. Go back, go back quickly, I haven't seen you today, I haven't told you these words. ”

The shopkeeper looked out again as he spoke, and saw that the pedestrians who came and went only looked at the mess on the ground, and no one paid attention to his small shop, so he quickly pushed Bai Li and his wife out of the shop.

"Husband?"

"Madame, don't worry!"

"I know that my husband can calculate, and I know that my husband can calculate, and I know that my husband said that there is no hurry, which means that they are not in danger of their lives at the moment. But I still have some apprehension in my heart, and I am not very reassured. If it's just an adult, it's okay, at most to suffer some hardships and suffer some sins. But what about so many children, what if they were put in prison? What if you are locked up in a dungeon or a water dungeon? ”

"Does Madame believe me?"

"Faith!"

"Since I believe in it, I will leave the matter to me, and I promise to give Madame an answer within three days. How is it? ”

"Good!" Bai Li nodded, and then leaned on Bai Ze: "Fortunately, I met the master and met you." ”

"Madame, this isβ€”"

"Inspired by feelings." Bai Li raised his head and smiled, his smile was a little bitter: "I don't know why, a picture suddenly flashed in my mind, it was what I had just come to this world." You don't even know how miserable I was at that time. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a very dilapidated room, where people were lying on their beds and could see snowflakes falling on the roof. Before I could react, I heard someone outside the house saying that they were going to exchange me for food. I was scared to death and tried to get out of that room. But because of hunger, because I haven't eaten for too long, my whole body is soft. Before I could get up from the ground, the broken door was pushed open, and a vicious man entered, with a bundle of rope in his hand. ”

"Ma'am?!"

"My mind buzzed, and it went blank in an instant, and it wasn't until I was carried on my shoulders that I remembered to resist. Fortunately, that person just looks fierce, but in fact he is a good person with a great sense of justice. Later, I met the master, met you, came from that small Huaxi Town to Huaxi Town, came to Liyang City, and then stood here again. I know I'm verbose, but I just want to say how fortunate I am to have met you. If I hadn't met you, I really don't know what kind of life I'd be living now. Perhaps, just like them, they are bullied, but they don't know who to turn to for shelter. ”

"Madame, come with me to a banquet!"

"Feast?"

"Well, a feast." Bai Ze looked in the direction of the palace: "Madame, have you heard the name Qingguo Gong?" ”

"Qingguo Gong? Does this Qingguo Gong have anything to do with this? ”

"Not sure, maybe yes, maybe not. This Qingguo Gong is very hidden, he is the capital, and he is also the most difficult to see through in the real dynasty. Bai Ze's eyes were dark: "At the moment, I can only tell Madam that this Qingguo Gong came out of Fence Village, and he was also somewhat involved in the arrest of the villagers of Fence Village." ”

"This national banquet is going to be held in the national mansion, right? How are the two of us going to get in? ”

"The Guogong Mansion is recruiting a cook, and the husband can help you with your wife."

"May I?"

"Madame, yes."

"Where is the Guogong Mansion? Let's sign up now. Bai Li grabbed his hand and ran out into the street, and when he saw a gaze sweeping over, he hurriedly let go of the hand he was holding together. The next moment, Bai Ze walked in front of her and naturally took her hand.

Bai Li smiled and raised his head. This is her husband, her rightful husband, what's wrong with holding hands?

On the day of the birthday banquet, guests came one after another, and the whole Guogong Mansion was very lively.

No one in the kitchen was idle, and they were all busy.

Bai Li is in charge of the appetizers, which have all been prepared, and they only need to be ordered by the manager to send them to the front in turn. For Bai Li's cooking skills, the steward in charge of the back kitchen was quite satisfied, and when he saw that the dishes were ready, he asked her to find a place to rest and not have to wait in the kitchen.

Seeing that everyone was busy and no one paid attention to their and Bai Ze's whereabouts, the couple sneaked into the front yard, found a room where no one was around, changed into particularly decent clothes that would not attract attention, and sneaked into those guests.

When the banquet began, the two of them chose a corner seat and sat down.

Bai Li roughly observed, the guests who came to participate in the national banquet can be divided into three groups, the first group is naturally either rich or expensive, there are ministers of the court, there are children of the family, there are also some rich people in the capital, there are heads, faces and faces, but there is also a very strange place, that is, only Wenchen has no generals. The second group obviously belongs to the forces of the rivers and lakes, which seems to be famous and decent, but in fact it reveals an indescribable evil spirit. The third group is the most mysterious, all women, dressed in plain clothes, not like they came to a banquet, but like they came to mourn.

Mountains and seas are eaten by monsters
