Chapter Seventy-Three: The Maniac

"This is where you're going to invite me to dinner?"

Standing at the mouth of an alley, Zhao Surui stretched his neck and glanced into the alley, and then looked left and right, this place is not far from Pomegranate Lane, and it is only a moment to ride a horse along the west river of Zhengyangmen.

I really didn't see anything special from the outside, saying that it was a place to eat, but there was a banner hanging under the old tree opposite the alley, and two words were written on it: "hot pot".

The sun is hanging in the west, the red glow is shining on the moat with the wind, and a few crows are crying in the distance, which makes people taste a little bit of "flowers hidden in the twilight, chirping birds over" in the lively Yanjing City.

The disgust on Zhao Surui's face lightened: "It's hard for you to find such a place."

After speaking, he waved his hand at Pei Feng and them: "Pei Feng has silver, take Tong Wu and them to have a good meal, and come to pick me up after an hour, I am tired today, so I will stay in Yanjing City for one night, find a place to live for them, don't be afraid of spending money."

Pei Feng was unwilling, she looked at the tall man standing next to her girl defensively, but saw him looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Miss Peifeng, I have an old acquaintance with your girl."

How can Peifeng rest assured?

The taciturn girl looked at her girl, obviously without any expression, but it made people feel that she had said everything.

Seeing that Shen Shiqing was guarded by her own maid, Zhao Surui couldn't help but be happy, and after laughing, he took the burden wrapped with the axe from Pei Feng's hand:

"I have this self-defense, you should be relieved, right?"

Now, not only Pei Feng is not at ease, but even the four rats who have been following his emperor have also tensed up, he has never seen anyone in his life so bold as to take an axe to dine with their emperor.

「…… Master, let the little one wait on the side, otherwise the little one will have to be hit by the board when he goes back."

The mediocre-looking eunuch of the four rats can't pretend to be as cute and pitiful as the three cats, but it makes people feel miserable.

That's it.

Shen Shiqing wanted to laugh in her heart, turned around and walked straight into the small courtyard: "Shop, I will take care of your store today. There are more than 30 people in total, and I bother you to arrange it."

A middle-aged woman with an apron tied around her waist and a cloth towel wrapped around her head hurried out with a basin: "Okay, okay, we can sit everywhere here, and it's empty before the meal is served......

Finally able to sit opposite each other in the same room, Zhao Surui and Shen Shiqing sighed almost at the same time.

After sighing, they glanced at each other, Shen Shiqing's expression did not change, but Zhao Surui snorted coldly, glanced at the dim sum placed on the table by the store, picked up a piece of pea cake and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice and said:

"This dim sum is not as good as Tu Nan's craftsmanship."

He also saw a charcoal stove on the stone table, and he touched it with his hand, and felt that it was not as good as the one he was used to.

Shen Shiqing picked up the teapot and filled the cup in front of the two:

"If Your Majesty doesn't like me, let someone go to Yongshanfang to buy some snacks. This is a thanksgiving feast, and I naturally want to satisfy Your Majesty in everything."

Zhao Surui sneered:

"Then there is no need, you will never do the most satisfying thing for me, why do you put on my skin and pretend to be so courteous in front of me?" ….

Shen Shiqing picked up the teacup and took a sip with a smile on her face:

"Your Majesty broke into the door with more than a dozen people today, and the battle was overwhelming, which was really uninhibited and hearty."

As soon as he heard that Shen Shiqing began to be yin and yang again, Zhao Surui's eyelids drooped:

"How can it compare to you Shen Sanru, use other people's bodies, use other people's power, majestic and powerful."

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and just now the woman came in with a copper basin, which contained burning charcoal, put the charcoal into the tandoor on the table, and placed a clay pot on the tandoor, poured hot water, and the woman looked at Shen Shiqing with a smile:

"The two guest officers haven't been to our shop before, have they? Our offering is a thin slice of rabbit meat......

The woman was just talking about what was so special about her meal

was interrupted by Shen Shiqing, and only listened to her order the food familiarly:

"I want two rabbits, in addition to a slice of meat shabu-shabu, rabbit heart, rabbit liver, and rabbit head are marinated and put on a plate, a plate of green shrimp is open and eaten in a hot pot, a plate of your store's signature chicken breast patty, and a few plates of seasonal vegetables and vegetables. As for the dipping sauce, please also add more dogwood oil and pepper sesame oil. If the rest of the tables don't order, they will all be served in this way, and then warm a pot of wine, and don't steam the wine with lighter rice wine."

The lady wearing a headscarf lifted the hairscarf on her head in surprise, and hurriedly said, "Ouch, I thought such a handsome Langjun was a new guest, but I didn't expect it to be an old acquaintance, I can't remember it when I'm old, hahahaha!" Wait a minute, my family not only has the signature chicken breast patty, but also the freshly ground tofu, you like to eat delicious I also have a delicious shrimp sauce here, mixed in the dipping sauce to eat Baxia offering is also a must, wait for me to bring it to the two guests to taste."

When she left, Shen Shiqing was about to drink tea when she saw Zhao Surui looking at her.

"I didn't expect Shen Sanfu that you are quite good at eating, such an inconspicuous restaurant can be like a treasure, you won't sneak out of the palace every day to find food with my body, right?"

Shen Shiqing played with the tea cup in her hand and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't worry about it, this is the shop that my father brought me to before. When I first came, the female boss was not married, and her father and mother were worried about her marriage every day, and then she recruited a down-and-out scholar, who lived and ate in her house for several years, and suddenly was admitted to Xiucai, and felt that she had an identity, and every day she called friends to eat and drink in this shop, and called the old parents of this female boss as servants."

Zhao Surui stared and listened to Shen Shiqing's story, and unconsciously picked up another piece of pea cake that he didn't like.

"What kind of son-in-law is such a person? Hurry up and get out of here!"

Shen Shiqing smiled: "Your Majesty, according to the "Dayong Law", a person who recruits a son cannot expel his son-in-law and marry his daughter separately, not to mention that person has a meritorious reputation, even if he sues the official, it will inevitably be biased."

Zhao Surui frowned and did not speak.

Shen Shiqing's tone was brisk, and then said: "Knowing that this person is unreliable, the old parents of the female boss want to pass on a younger son from the clan again, so that they can be an arm for the female boss in the future. How easy is it for a man to divorce his wife, and how difficult is it for a woman to divorce her husband? Even if this husband is from a wealthy family, others think that it is insulting to turn his back on his ancestors, and he is similar to a married woman, but he is still protected by "Da Yonglu". Unlike women, there are three from the top and four virtues, and there are seven from the bottom." ….

Zhao Surui didn't see it that way: "Even if such a despicable and shameless person is a woman, he may not be ......."

Shen Shiqing looked at him: "If that person is a woman, he won't be able to take the Xiucai exam, and if he disrespects his parents and has the fault of Yin, jealousy, and theft, he has been divorced for an unknown number of times. Your Majesty, you don't think that women are born with virtue, do you? It's just that if you're not virtuous, you can't live."

These words were really mean, Zhao Surui opened his mouth, wanting to refute Shen Shiqing, but he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart:

"And what happened to that man now? I don't think this female boss looks like she can stand it."

"Shen Shiqing", who was dressed as a man, was radiant because of curiosity, and her face was a youthful look that she didn't know how to worry, Shen Shiqing didn't know why in her eyes but didn't want to look at it anymore, she looked away, and she poured herself another cup of tea:

"Although this store is not big, many of the people who come and go to eat are officials from the DPRK and China and merchants from the north and south, so someone intentionally or unintentionally gave this female boss an idea."

The door opened again, and the landlady came in with a few large trays from the running hall, only to see bright pink light slices of meat pasted on the white porcelain plate layer by layer, like a huge flower. There are a few other dishes that are still alive, but none of them are as eye-catching as rabbit meat.

Still thinking about the story in his heart, Zhao Surui couldn't help but straighten his eyes when he looked at the pink piece of meat.

The soup in the pot has also been boiled, and seeing that the female boss put down the rabbit meat and withdrew, Zhao Surui said, "There is also a wind sheep pot in the palace, but the three cats have to wait next to it, Shen Sanzhu, do you want to serve me to eat this rabbit meat pot?"

Picking up the dipping sauce in front of him, and putting a spoonful of dogwood oil and a spoonful of pepper sesame oil in it, Shen Shiqing raised his eyes and said with a smile:

"It turns out that Your Majesty has never eaten hot pot by yourself, but I overestimated Your Majesty's knowledge."

Do it yourself?

Zhao Surui picked up a piece of raw rabbit meat with chopsticks and put it in the pot, only to see the boiling water churning, and after a while, the meat slices floated up from it.

Shen Shiqing only watched from the sidelines, Emperor Zhaode just didn't have much knowledge, but he wasn't stupid, he knew how to scoop up the meat slices and dip them in the sauce.

Fresh! Tender! A mouthful of meat dipped in leek sauce entered his mouth, and the eyes of the uninformed Emperor Zhaode lit up.

He hurriedly put a few more pieces of meat into the pot, and saw that Shen Sanfu was acting the same as him.

"Shen Sanfu, won't you be able to eat the meat I put in the pot?"

Under the gaze of His Majesty the Emperor's food protector, Shen Shiqing didn't match this stubble: "The female boss said that this fried shrimp paste in the dipping sauce is also delicious, but I prefer to add some dogwood oil and pepper sesame oil, what about you, Your Majesty?"

Glaring at Shen Sanfu, Emperor Zhaode tentatively put some dogwood oil into his bowl, and hurriedly went to fish for the meat slices that had already floated up in the pot, but he didn't care about talking to Shen Sanfu.

Shen Shiqing chuckled in her heart, and knew that she couldn't show it on her face, otherwise this emperor who was too temperamental would definitely bare his teeth on the spot.

It wasn't until he ate half a plate of meat that Zhao Surui remembered the female boss of the store again.

"You haven't told me how the bosses dealt with that ridiculous son-in-law."

"I found a man who pretended to be a rich businessman, had fellowship with that man, and then said a few words, 'If you weren't married, I would have married my only daughter to you, but in half a month, the man was about to reconcile and divorce from the female boss, and the female boss pulled him and agreed. The man waited for the rich merchant to come back from doing business in Jinmen so that he could be a son-in-law again, but he didn't know that he had already fallen into a vacancy, and the family of the female boss here had already closed the shop and gone to the field, and I accidentally found that the banner was hanging up again that day, and people checked it to find out that the show had fallen into the river and died in less than two years, and the female boss's family moved back and started the business again." ….

This story sounds a little painful, but not so painful.

The female boss's family met a wolf-hearted gangster, and came up with all kinds of strategies, and finally had to stay away from the family to really get out.

"It's too boring." Emperor Zhaode swallowed the rabbit meat in his mouth and shook his head, "If it were me......

"If it were Your Majesty, I'm afraid that he would have already gone down with an axe and killed that person, it would be really happy."

Shen Shiqing's tone was the same as before, but Zhao Surui felt that she was angry with herself.

Looking up at the woman in his body, he sneered, "What? Am I not happy with what I have done today?"

"Happy, it's just that the person who is happy is not Shen Shiqing after all." Shen Shiqing slowly and methodically used chopsticks to pick up a shrimp with an open back and put it in the pot, the water was steaming, Zhao Surui saw her drooping eyes, her face seemed to be smiling, and even a little mockery:

"Your Majesty, in the eyes of everyone, you are Shen Shiqing, you and I both know that I am Shen Shiqing, but today I drove Shen Xianru and the others, I borrowed your power and power. What about you? It also uses the identity of a man. chic and happy, after all, it is a man, Shen Shiqing is obviously the real bitter master, but she was scolded as a madman along with her mother. You and I both know that if it weren't for the presence of murderers and powerful people at the same time, Shen Shiqing, a woman, would have been slandered as a madman by Shen Xianru, and some people would believe that she was already crazy. Just like the female boss, she was trampled by a wealthy man, and she had to ask another man to come forward and clean up the man for her, and she herself could only take her family to hide from Yanjing City after giving up the accumulation of two generations, and she could not come back until the man died."

Freshly cooked shrimp are crispy.

Zhao Surui ate the shrimp meat and left the shrimp head, shrimp tail, and shrimp shells on the plate in a mess, and when he saw another shrimp in the pot, he raised his chopsticks to fish.

But he was one step slower than Shen Shiqing, and he could only watch the other party fish the shrimp away.

It's a food grabber, right?

Emperor Zhaode is going to bare his teeth!

"Your Majesty, take the shrimp shells first and then eat them.

I saw Shen Shiqing pinching the shrimp tail with her hand, and with a few fingers at the same time, the shrimp shell was taken off by her.

Seeing that the shrimp meat was sandwiched in front of him by a pair of clean chopsticks, Zhao Surui "snorted":

"Shen Sanfu, he ridiculed me to this point, but he was so kind of a thief who stole the country......

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Surui sandwiched the shrimp and ate it.

"Your Majesty, before going to my old house today, I first asked the Four Rats to send someone to the Xicheng Terracotta Division, and the deputy commander of the Xicheng Terracotta Division must take away a few hundred taels of filial piety silver from Shen Xianru's hand every year, otherwise Your Majesty, how dare Shen Xianru be so bold and openly gamble? You have brought a group of swordsmen and axes to break into the house, and if you are caught by the Soldiers and Horses, you will be afraid that you will be in trouble."

Where does Zhao Surui not know that the gambling stick is indispensable behind it? Swallowing the shrimp in his mouth, he ate the rabbit meat again, and suddenly laughed again:

"Isn't that you? As long as I am in your body, using the maid you have called since childhood, you have to help me and protect me."

Seeing Shen Shiqing put thin slices of bamboo shoots into the pot, Zhao Surui flattened his mouth uninterestedly and continued to eat his rabbit meat, and then said:

"If you take my body and steal my authority, you will inevitably be used by me, no matter what I do, you will always finish for me." ….

As he spoke, he felt a little proud in his heart, and he was really able to take advantage of Shen Sanyu in his mouth.

Huh? What's there to be proud of?

After the meal, the lights were already hung outside.

Zhao Surui stood up and patted his stomach, and saw that Shen Sanrui had taken his silver ratskin coat for him.

Under the lamp, she stood there with her eyebrows lowered, making Zhao Surui think of the back he saw in the afternoon for no reason.

Obviously, this body is his.

He still thinks that the back is Shen San's.

"Shen Sanru."

"Your Majesty."

"Shen Xianru's nonsense is right, you are a madman."

Shen Shiqing's face moved slightly, looking at Emperor Zhaode in her body.

Emperor Zhaode took the big puff in her hand and said with a smile:

"You have the great crime of stealing the country and power, and you can't hide your rebellion that is exposed in detail, I have seen many crazy people, and you are the craziest one among them."

After speaking, he pushed open the door and walked out, the female boss stood at the gate of the courtyard with a lantern to see off the guests, and when he walked in front of her, Zhao Surui heard her smile and said:

"Little Shen Gongzi, come back another day when you have time to try my craft."

Zhao Surui was stunned.

Turning around, he looked at the place where Shen Sanru stood in the courtyard.

"The girl saved her family when she was thirteen."

"My father brought me here to eat before."

「…… After several twists and turns, someone finally saw that the word was fake......

The words he heard today in the past were strung in his ears, and Zhao Surui was blessed with his heart for a while.

I see.

Shen Sanzhu, you are really a fanatic who is hard to find in the world.

A courtyard with lights on, and many others.

Shadows and shadows, like mountains and seas.

"The next time I split doors and cut people to collect debts everywhere, I will also let people know that it was 'Shen Shiqing, who did it.'"

He finished speaking out loud, and immediately turned and left.

When he raised his eyes in a black coat, he saw the warm ears of his hat swaying lightly.

A little unclear, Shen Shiqing still smiled:

"Then you might as well think about what to eat when you slash the door and cut people, I can please you."
