Chapter 403: Assorted Golden Rice (5)
These thoughts turned in his mind for a blink of an eye, Wen Mingtang calmed down, scooped a spoonful of assorted crushed golden rice and put it in his mouth, lowered his eyes to look at the steaming rice on his plate, and said in a slow tone: "Let's see the situation after the year, maybe Concubine Jing's matter can be solved!" ”
Although she didn't deny it, she still didn't want to leave on the surface.
originally thought that after saying this, Lin Fei would not ask again. Can...... Lin Fei was Lin Fei in the end, and after hearing this, he only paused slightly, and then spoke again, which really shocked Wen Mingtang.
"You just came out of the palace at the beginning, and you have no relatives, it is indeed better to have a stable livelihood," Lin Fei said lightly, "Now that Zhao Sishan is out of the palace, with the help of Tangyuan and Ah Bing, if the preparations are perfect, it is good to leave." ”
Before the rice in his mouth could be swallowed, listening to Lin Fei's faint words, Wen Mingtang raised his head suddenly, didn't care about eating, and looked at him in surprise.
It was not surprising that Lin Fei could guess her wishes, but what surprised her was that he actually supported her to leave Dali Temple.
You must know that although the officials of the entire Dali Temple like the dish she made in the public kitchen, he is the only one who has never come to the yamen to find a way to eat her dish.
At present, Lin Fei actually supported her to leave...... Hmm, although Lin Fei is not short of money, she also opened a restaurant in Chang'an City. Such a big Chang'an City, she is really hungry for her hand of food, just find someone to go and buy it, it doesn't matter much to Lin Fei if she can't leave, but in the end, it also costs more money and energy to run errands.
Wen Mingtang watched Lin Fei scoop a spoonful of assorted crushed golden rice and put it in his mouth, and continued to say unhurriedly: "Haven't you always wanted to buy a house in Chang'an City?" With Concubine Jing here, don't talk about a house, you can't afford to buy a thatched house anywhere. ”
Wen Mingtang: "......"
Liang Hongscarf, who was gulping down food on the side: "......"
Lin Shaoqing, who didn't look very down-to-earth, said too much, but fortunately, Wen Mingtang and Liang Hongjin were only surprised, but it was not that he couldn't eat when he mentioned the word "thatched house".
When he came back to his senses, Liang Hongscarf glanced at Wen Mingtang proudly and said, "Look! I'll say you can join forces and open a restaurant, if not, it's not a good feeling to be choked from time to time. ”
As soon as her words fell, Lin Fei said again: "It's almost time to prepare, you can come to me to see if there is a hidden trap inside, and if you have been trapped." ”
The two sang and harmonized, as if it was a foregone conclusion that she was going to leave the kitchen.
Wen Mingtang looked at Lin Fei and wrinkled his eyebrows: he was not short of money, so it didn't matter if she left or not. But it is not easy for the chef of Dali Temple to recruit cooks, otherwise it would not be until now, Ji Caimai has never brought back a cook. Wen Mingtang only called a few skillful handymen to help wash and chop vegetables when things were really busy.
Until now, in addition to her, there are only two Ah Bingtong glutinous rice balls in Dali Temple. These two, judging from what Ah Bing said to her that day, should have followed her, so ...... What about public chefs?
What is a chef without a chef in charge called? Wouldn't what was left for Ji Cai to buy become a mess? For the ordinary officials of Dali Temple, the three meals of the public chef in the morning, noon and evening are not eaten without spending money, if the public chef does not have a master in charge, wouldn't he go out to eat in vain?
Wen Mingtang didn't dare to boast of his outstanding cooking skills, so that everyone in Dali Temple would not be able to live without her dishes. It's just that...... Even the officials of Dali Temple, such as Liu Yuan, Bai Zhu, and Wei Fu, who are in the temple, have to make a living and save money.
Comparing her heart to her heart, if she were them, she was afraid that she would not run out because the food was really hard to swallow, after all, what flowed was the silver money spent in vain!
After nearly a year of getting along, Wen Mingtang didn't think that Lin Fei was the kind of person who was inconsiderate of others, so how could he also support her to leave with Ah Bing and Tangyuan?
Could it be ...... What will happen to the chef of Dali Temple after this year? Wen Mingtang couldn't help but guess in his heart, but he just looked at Lin Fei, who was eating silently, thought about it, and swallowed the words that he didn't ask back into his stomach.
When it was time to finish eating the plate of assorted broken golden rice, Lin Fei put down the plate, nodded to the two of them and thanked them, and left.
After Lin Fei left, Liang Hongjin couldn't help but bump Wen Mingtang with her elbow, and raised her eyebrows proudly: Lin Fei's affirmation of her proposal is still happy now!
"How, Xiao Mingtang? You and Zhao Sishan always said that I went straight to the point, but I didn't know that I was too tired to live like you after thinking about it like you! Liang Hongscarf put down the plate and chopsticks, reached out and patted Wen Mingtang's shoulder, and said, "People live a short life, be happy!" ”
Wen Mingtang smiled bitterly, and said in her heart that she also wanted to be happy! It's just that...... Thinking of this, he hurriedly reminded Liang Hongjian: "First remind the person you are watching for me at the Tongming Gate...... Don't forget! ”
Liang Hongscarf nodded, patted his chest, and said, "Don't worry, it's on me!" ”
Wen Mingtang heard this, then he breathed a sigh of relief, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked up at the sky: although the temperature is cold, since the beginning of the New Year, the weather has been good, looking at the bright moon and stars that are clear and not covered by clouds and mist in the sky, Wen Mingtang said in his heart: I hope that all the troubles are also like the weather of these days, and the clouds and mist will finally see the bright moon!
……
……
Since Wen Mingtang returned from making up for the twilight meal, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu had already returned.
Although he hadn't spoken yet, he could vaguely guess something from the faces of the two of them who didn't smile at all.
Lin Fei sat down, raised his hand and motioned for the two of them to sit down as well, and then said, "Say it!" ”
The two of them presented the confessions of Mrs. Zhao Mengzhuo and the old servant, the account books of the Xinglou and the confessions of the rest of the people.
Lin Fei looked down at the recorded confession while listening to the two of them.
"I waited for the inquiry, whether it was Mrs. Zhao, or the steward of the Zhao family, they all said that this year's Lord Zhao's reaction is no different from that of previous years, and the family's New Year's worth and New Year's gifts will occasionally ask, and because they are about to give office, they asked about the repair status of the old house at home, and they all said that Lord Zhao will not jump off the building to find his death." Liu Yuan said.
Of course, this is what they expect to see and hear, and it is also consistent with what the testimony said about Zhao Mengzhuo being pushed downstairs, but ...... The physical evidence queried became as contradictory and subtle as what was seen at the scene of the Star Picking Tower.
