Before Mrs. Hou approached, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a pair of children of four or five years old jumped down, and then a young couple came down, who were the parents of the children. Touching the heads of the two children, the young couple took the children by the hand and walked to the carriage beside them, and helped the people in the carriage out.

The first to come out was a middle-aged woman, who was about the same age as Mrs. Hou, but her complexion was much more haggard than that of Mrs. Hou, who had a smooth and harmonious husband.

After the middle-aged woman got out of the carriage, she quickly turned her head and helped the last gray-haired old woman in the carriage out.

Lin Fei followed behind Mrs. Hou and looked at these guests of the Marquis of Jingyun's Mansion, and was a little surprised when he saw the gray-haired old woman.

In fact, from the earlier letters, without the introduction of Mrs. Hou, he could also guess the identities of these people, the gray-haired old woman should be Mrs. Lu who saved Mrs. Hou back then, and the haggard woman who was the same age as Mrs. Hou should be Mrs. Lu's daughter. The young couple should be the son and daughter-in-law born to Mrs. Lu's daughter, that is, Mrs. Lu's grandson and granddaughter-in-law, and the younger children are the children of grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law.

Among these people, even if Mrs. Lu's hair has long been gray, she is the oldest, but she is probably "a beauty who has never been defeated by time", because of her outstanding demeanor, compared with her daughter, grandson and even great-grandson, she is the most outstanding among them.

From Mrs. Lu's current appearance, you can vaguely see a little bit of her youthful elegance, and she must be a rare beauty.

】

After helping Mrs. Lu get out of the carriage, the family turned around and walked over to Mrs. Hou and Lin Fei.

After a polite greeting, Mrs. Hou took the initiative to pick up the gray-haired Mrs. Lu, and chatted as she walked: "If it weren't for Mrs. back then, I would have died in the land of Sichuan and Shu." ”

Mrs. Lu patted Mrs. Hou's hand, and looked at Mrs. Hou's gaze very softly: "The second lady was with my family back then?" is generally big, and the appearance of being so pink and jade, I don't know how ruthless those people are, and they want to force people to death! ”

Mrs. Hou was the second in the clan when she was not married, and she met when she was young, so it is not strange that she is used to calling the second lady.

Mrs. Hou's eyes were slightly red when she heard this, and she said to Mrs. Lu: "At that time, only Mrs. saved me, and Qianniang accompanied me to study and boil medicine for me!" ”

When mentioning "Qian Niang", the middle-aged woman with a somewhat haggard complexion showed a smile on her face, looked at Mrs. Zheng, and said, "Qian Niang also likes the second miss, the second miss is very kind-hearted and has taught Qian Niang a lot of things." ”

The things that Zheng's concubine has been exposed to and learned since she was a child are not comparable to ordinary women, and she has indeed learned a lot from Miss Zheng Er.

It's a pity that people can't stay at a young age forever, looking at the haggard look on Qian Niang's face, Mrs. Hou didn't say much, only reached out and hugged her: the husband's family resolutely reconciled, and returned to Mrs. Lu with her son, and the mother and daughter raised their son (grandson), and now it can be regarded as a bittersweet one.

Without mentioning the past, Mrs. Hou glanced at Lin Fei, who was quiet after greeting as if she didn't exist, and said, "That's it!" Leave you here and don't speak, or go back to your Dali Temple! ”

When Lin Fei heard this, he was not polite, and immediately raised his hand and said, "Thank you, mother!" And he departed.

Walking so fast, Mrs. Hou shook her head helplessly, but fortunately, Mrs. Lu and the others on the side didn't care, after all, as early as in the letter, Mrs. Hou had mentioned the character of this second son.

It's just that Lin Fei was a little surprised when he served as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in Dali Temple.

"Then the yamen is not easy to hear," Mrs. Lu looked at Lin Fei's departing back and said, "How did you go to the yamen?" ”

Mrs. Hou said helplessly: "He likes it, and I can't help it." ”

Mrs. Lu nodded, withdrew her gaze, and returned to the carriage with Mrs. Hou, heading towards the Jingyun Marquis Mansion.

……

……

In the public kitchen, Wen Mingtang was still puzzled.

"Since the guest is here today, then he will be picked up and washed today, how can it be a few days before the reception banquet is arranged?"

"Those guests who have been living in the nunnery for a long time to lead the practice, they have to eat vegetarian food for a few days first, and then they can eat meat once after a few days." Liu Yuan said, smacked his lips, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "If someone like me is so meatless and unhappy, it is not suitable for cultivation, and it is really uncomfortable not to eat meat for a meal!" ”

Wen Mingtang heard this, smiled, lowered his head and looked at the menu in his hand again: the content on the menu is very detailed, along with the ingredients used and the recipes, which shows that this Master Xing is a meticulous person.

After knowing it, he handed the menu back to Liu Yuan, and Liu Yuan in that room had already chatted with Ji Caimai and others about eucalyptus.

"Progress? Not really! Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "It's that I visited the market these days, and I was scared to death by the rumors in the market." ”

And such things? The fragrant rice balls that were eaten by peeling sugar and stir-frying chestnuts on the side hurriedly turned his head to look at Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuandao: "Because the body of Feng Shiling was cut apart, and it was related to the butcher, so that those people in the market spread the rumors, Hu Siming killed Feng Shiling and sold his body to a steamed bun shop that made meat buns, and now it is being made into meat buns and is being sold." ”

The fragrant tangyuan that was eating fried chestnuts with sugar suddenly became agitated when he heard this, and his face turned white: "My father also bought meat buns last night and came back for supper, saying that the bun shop sells them cheaply, buy one get one free, I ...... I also ate one! Speaking of this, Tang Yuan subconsciously covered his mouth, thinking of the meat bun he ate in the middle of the night last night, and suddenly felt that sour water began to bubble in his stomach, and he felt an urge to regurgitate.

When Liu Yuan heard this, he glanced at the glutinous rice balls that he was about to spit out, and said, "Are you stupid?" That Feng Shiling's corpse has been pieced together, but have you forgotten? ”

Tang Yuan said "oh", remembered this incident, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, there are many people in the market, and they don't know where the news came out, and the meat buns from several steamed bun shops can't be sold, so I have to buy one and get one free." Liu Yuan said, "Lao Yuan should just buy it because it's cheap, it's okay." ”

This rumor must be false, Liu Yuan knows it in his heart, but ......

"It's not the first time that this is the first time that this is a rumor of killing people and making meat buns." Liu Yuan said, "I heard rumors that a butcher killed someone and sold it to a meat bun shop to make meat buns many years ago. ”

Compared with the amazement of Tang Yuan, A Bing and others, Wen Mingtang was a little speechless: the rumors of such human meat buns are really ancient and modern!

"I don't know what age the rumors are, it is said that someone bought the butcher and joined forces to murder a wealthy merchant couple, in order not to be discovered, they ......" Liu Yuan said and compared the movement of wiping his neck to everyone, and said, "The butcher, it is related to these rumors!" ”

It's just that he was as timid as Tangyuan and was frightened again, Liu Yuan paused, and hurriedly continued: "But I have asked those small officials who manage the archives in the treasury about this kind of thing, and I have never heard of such eucalyptus in the past thirty or forty years, and I think it is just a rumor in the market." ”
