Chapter 370: The Heart of the Year (7)

The next day, when he opened his eyes and came to the kitchen again, Wen Mingtang was still in charge of the kitchen alone, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger, and the servants and officials in Dali Temple didn't know what happened in Xianyang.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had to cook in the public kitchen for a few days and couldn't leave, I am afraid that Wen Mingtang would have rushed to Xianyang to inquire about the situation yesterday.

The Dali Temple was still quiet, and nothing happened except that someone had climbed over her house.

The jailer named Tong Zhang really brought a basket of eggs and some dried tofu to find Wen Mingtang, and after the lunch was done, Wen Mingtang easily marinated these eggs with dried tofu.

Until he finished all this, Wen Mingtang couldn't sit still, and when he was about to go out of Dali Temple to find someone, Ji Caimai finally rushed back.

Looking at Ji Caimai, who is quite particular in the past day, with a bloodshot appearance, he knows that these two days are not very good.

Wen Mingtang opened his mouth and wanted to ask Ji Caimai what happened, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't ask anything.

In the end, Ji Caimai nodded at her and said, "Let's send the snack box out with someone first!" ”

Adults are no better than children, they cry when they want to cry, they laugh when they want to laugh, they feel sad in their hearts, and they need to be strong enough to cheer up and do what they have in advance.

Wen Mingtang naturally understood this truth, and did not ask Ji Caimai why he came back alone, why his nephew and Tang Yuan, Ah Bing, and Liu Yuan, who had gone to Xianyang one step earlier, did not come back, and turned his head and moved out the New Year's Heart Box with a few miscellaneous servants, and then Ji Caimai sent it to the other party's house in turn according to the predetermined list.

Wen Mingtang also went with the two miscellaneous servants and sent them to the Guozi Jian Yu sacrificial wine.

After the students' vacation, the Guozi prison immediately became a lot empty, and the school hall where people came and went in the past was empty, but the courtyard where Yu sacrificed wine was quite lively.

When Wen Mingtang walked in with the handyman carrying the New Year's Gift Box, he saw Yu Saijiu and his celebrity friends painting in front of a square stone table in the middle of the courtyard.

Among them is Wang He and his proud protΓ©gΓ© Xun Zhou.

Wang He is not good at painting, so he is looking down at everyone with Yu Saijiu, who is also not good at painting.

From a distance, I saw a lot of red paintings on the stone case, and then looked at the bright lanterns, firecrackers and other folk things on the painting paper, and thought that what everyone painted should be related to the New Year's Festival.

Xun Zhou, who was following Wang He and touching the fish, raised his head when he heard the movement, and when he saw Wen Mingtang, a trace of joy flashed on his face, and he opened his mouth and said "Sister Mingtang" with his mouth.

Wen Mingtang also made a lip sync at him, and after calling "Senior Brother Xun", the Yu sacrificial wine in the room saw them, smiled and pointed to the empty stone case on the side, and said, "Put it there!" ”

A few people walked over, put down the New Year's Gift Box, and then took the list, walked to the side of Yu Sacrifice Wine and handed the list to Yu Sacrifice Wine.

Yu Saijiu glanced at the box of nods, and after seeing that the number of boxes was fine, he nodded "um", and then said to Wang He, who looked up here: "I ordered a few boxes of dim sum, and I will bring one box back today." ”

When Wang He heard this, he snorted and said disapprerovitically: "I don't like to eat dim sum." After saying this, he immediately turned to Xun Zhou and said, "Remember to get a box when you go back in a while, don't forget it!" ”

Xun Zhou nodded in response: he was used to his teacher's disobedience.

Because of the approaching New Year's Festival, Yu Saijiu also gave Wen Mingtang and two miscellaneous servants a string of auspicious money, and then said to them with a smile: "Everything goes well in the New Year!" ”

Several people hurriedly returned to Yu and gave two congratulatory words before leaving the country.

The harmony in the Yu sacrifice wine courtyard was not brought back to Dali Temple, and when he returned to Dali Temple, Wen Mingtang was busy preparing for evening food.

After the evening meal, the kitchen was handed over to the cleaning handyman, Ji Caimai called Wen Mingtang to the kitchen yard, looking at Wen Mingtang's faintly guessed face, Ji Caimai opened his mouth and sighed, and did not talk nonsense, and said: "The two temples are fine, Lao Yuan has an accident...... Let's go. ”

Wen Mingtang "chuckled" in her heart, but the two days of waiting, coupled with the inexplicable uneasiness of Tangyuan that day, did not make her feel too surprised, but an inexplicable sense of sadness came to her heart.

Tangyuan's mother fell ill shortly after giving birth to Tangyuan, and she went after a few years.

Since then, Lao Yuan has not continued the strings. It's not that no one is a matchmaker for Lao Yuan, he has his own house in Chang'an, and there are several acres of thin fields outside the city, although he is not very rich, but like Lao Yuan, if he wants to continue the string, he is not unable to marry.

Su Rili has never heard Lao Yuan mention the word "deceased wife", but for so many years of solitude, it is far better than some people outside who talk about their deceased wives and look affectionate, but they start to continue before the mourning period of their deceased wives has passed.

Whether he is a father or a husband, Lao Yuan has done an excellent job.

Now that there was such a sudden accident, Wen Mingtang not only regretted Lao Yuan's departure, but also couldn't help but worry about Tang Yuan. Wen Mingtang is a human being in two lives, and he is an adult in the shell, so he is better.

But when the original owner entered the palace at the beginning of the year, the memory of hiding in the bed and crying secretly in the middle of the night is still in front of him.

Wen Mingtang sighed and asked Ji Caimai, "What happened?" Lin Shaoqing once said that at noon on the day they left, Xianyang also sent a letter, saying that everything was going well. ”

"Not long after I finished the letter, they stayed overnight in the Xianyang County Yamen, Xianyang County Yana and other places where the yamen did not fire, and the three foods were sent in from outside." Ji Caimai said, "They were originally going to finish the lunch and leave, but the person who came to deliver the lunch turned out to be ......."

……

……

Xianyang County Yamen burned in a mess.

Many people were outside the county yamen, and they sighed at the yamen that had burned down half of the wall: "In broad daylight, those masked villains trapped the adults in the yamen like this, intending to burn them to death, which is really hateful!" ”

"Isn't it?" Someone answered, sighed, and said greedily, "I was still in the shop, I heard someone outside exclaiming, and when I came out to see, there was a person who wanted to put out the fire with a bucket and was cut to the ground by those evil men. ”

"It's not a sneaky man, it's a blatant murder of the court officials!" The people who were emotional at the beginning talked about the situation of the day, and they were still a little apprehensive, "Later, if it wasn't for a team of darts passing by, I'm afraid it would be ......" Halfway through the words, I saw the group of dart masters and a few young officials walking out of the yamen that had collapsed half of the wall, and the people who sighed were busy pointing to the group of people, "Oh, it was the team of dart masters who saw that it was not right, and immediately came up with knives, and the people in the yamen were able to rush out......

The dart masters mentioned by the people were talking to Lin Fei, Liu Yuan, and Bai Zhu on the side about the passage here: "Originally, I would not have arrived in Xianyang when I waited for that day, but the employer added silver money and rushed to ask for New Year's goods, so I arrived in Xianyang." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's a coincidence, it just happened to encounter such evil deeds, it can be seen that the heavens can't bear to see the evil ones so rampant!" ”

Lin Fei nodded in response, but asked a few dart masters in front of him: "Dare to ask, who is the employer of this dart?" ”
