A plate of beef patties with green onions fried until golden butter, a cage of shredded pork with radish stuffing, a red bean and japonica rice porridge boiled until flowering, and a dish of drunken fish, a fried pork with tempeh, a pickled radish and a dish of shredded bamboo shoots.

Tu Nan laid out the breakfast in the same way, and saw the "own girl" sitting down on the left with a smile.

"Yo, beef patty, it's pretty rare!" Picking up the plate with his fingers and taking a look, Zhao Surui picked one up directly, took a bite, and sighed with satisfaction.

"This bread is fragrant today!"

Zhao Surui ate with a mouthful of oil, picked out a little bamboo shoots with chopsticks, and drank porridge again.

Although the government explicitly forbade the killing of cattle, the people did not have to eat cattle at all, especially in the countryside and towns, because of the loose management, they could often buy stewed large pieces of beef in street restaurants, and the rich peasant squires could buy them back to satisfy their hunger.

When Zhao Surui was in the palace in the past, Huangzhuang occasionally had beef in, but after being rectified by a pair of "wonderful hands" of the chef of Guanglu Temple, he only felt that beef was stuffed with teeth.

Later, he changed his body with Shen Sanqu, everything he ate was delicious, what kind of pork, beef, mutton, fish, Zhao Surui did not refuse, of course, our Zhaode Emperor has noble lips and teeth, and his favorite is fatty and delicious pork.

I used to live in Zhuangzi outside the city, Pei Feng or Tu Nan went to the town and met a beef seller who would buy some back, and the braised beef cut into slices was used as a snack when I was bored, Zhao Surui could eat a pound or two catties, and when I entered Yanjing City, it was more difficult to eat beef again than before, for no other reason, there were more people and less meat.

Seeing that the "own girl" was eating very sweetly, Tu Nan showed a smile on her face: "This is what Miss Liu bought yesterday, she originally bought five catties of beef, two catties of leg meat and three catties of belly, and the beef leg meat made a meatloaf for the girl, the beef brisket meat is more tender, and some radishes and the like are added to stew for the girl at night."

"Good!" After eating two meatloafs, Zhao Surui took the time to eat one siu mai, picked up the third meatloaf, and the porridge in the bowl was also drunk by him.

With something in his stomach, Zhao Surui squinted his eyes and asked with a smile:

"Is there anything else noisy about that Mrs. Sun in front of you?"

"Don't worry, girl, Mrs. Bo probably wants to make noise, but no one assigns it."

Yesterday, Zhao Surui can be said to have wiped out Mrs. Sun's henchmen, and when Xie Lin'an brought people over, more than a dozen servants and maids and seven or eight housekeepers who were arrested behind had already jumped the ice of the pond, with injuries on their bodies, and their shoes were soaked in the cold weather, so they looked miserable.

Xie Lin'an asked the family to drag the person up and tie him up, and at the same time he was busy apologizing.

Zhao Surui didn't embarrass him, and only had two orders.

Since these people are all old people who have been in Ning'an Bo Mansion for many years, they must have some savings in their families, so they copied their family together, and the things copied out were three or seven points, seven were his, and the third was Xie Lin'an's.

When Xie Linan heard this "three seven points", where was he willing to do it? After some bargaining, it was finally decided, ninety percent of the "Qingfeng Xu" was sent, and the remaining one percent was Xie Lin'an's hard-earned money.

Although his brain is not smart enough, Xie Linan is also a person who knows how to act when he sees the opportunity, since he wants to do something to his own mother's companions, he simply cleaned up all the people in the family, and those related to his own mother were raided and imprisoned, and those who had a relationship with his own grandmother were also ordered not to move.

Xie Lin'an doesn't have enough manpower in his hands, and he doesn't have this ability, but Zhao Surui's hands are people's, and there are always obedient people in the Xie family who were locked up by him in Zhuangzi before, and he asked Pei Feng to choose some ones that have no foundation in the Xie family this time and bring them back, a total of twelve family members and six mothers-in-law, lent to Xie Lin'an, enough for him to raid the house.

Mrs. Sun has been operating in Ning'an Bo Mansion for nearly 40 years, but she was uprooted by her own son.

Zhao Surui finished breakfast, put on a cloak and hugged his hands, and then carried the kitten that he kicked out of bed in the middle of the night yesterday and wandered around in the "Qingfeng Xu".

In addition to the magnolia by the window, there is also a pair of sycamores in the corner of the yard, the leaves have fallen off, and it looks quite tall.

The back of the courtyard is planted with bamboo and bluegrass

, with the pomegranate tree in the north corner, even though it is in winter, it can also make people feel the elegance of the owner.

Looking at it, Zhao Surui laughed.

In the sun, Ah Chi was asking a few little maids to set up wooden frames to dry the original bedding in the house, and when she saw her girl smiling at the bare pomegranate tree, she poked Tu Nan on the side.

"Tu Nan, don't you think our girl is in a good mood today?"

"Is there one?"

Tu Nan was calculating the charcoal that a group of them would use for a day, when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at it, and only said:

"Perhaps, the incense used for breakfast today."

"Where is 'maybe'?"

Ah Chi, who was wearing a cotton bikina, raised his hand and rubbed his ears, and his mouth was close to Tu Nan's ear:

"This morning, our girl woke up laughing, what a beautiful dream you said, you can make our girl wake up with a smile."

Tu Nan also smiled when he heard this, did not speak, and only gave his hand warmer cage to Ah Chi.

"You can use it, I have to go to work in the kitchen."

Zhao Surui, who was talked about by the two little maids, had already crossed his waist at this time.

Good trees, good flowers, good yard! The best thing is that he is Emperor Zhaode, who is wise and martial, and has exposed the old bottom of Shen San's waste!

If it weren't for the fact that the little cat in his arms was moving around, it would be really troublesome, and Zhao Surui would have wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times.

Put the cat on the pomegranate tree to keep it healthy, and Zhao Surui asked the little maid to find a few bricks.

Knowing that the girl was going to move bricks again to strengthen her body, the little maids hurriedly moved some green bricks back, and it didn't take a moment to go back and forth.

Zhao Surui raised his eyebrows and stared at the bricks for a while, before he remembered that the courtyard wall of Xie Feng'an's yard next door had been demolished by his order, and even the bricks were ready-made.

Probably because he was in a good mood and full of food, Zhao Surui felt particularly energetic moving bricks today, and he didn't feel tired until the sun rose to the top of the plane tree.

"Girl, the Lady of the World is here."

Mrs. Shizi didn't come alone, there were more than a dozen maids behind her, carrying a bunch of boxes, as soon as she saw "Shen Shiqing", she hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "I heard that you came back yesterday, I wanted to come and see it quickly, but I hate my body for not being angry, and I'm afraid of disturbing your peace."

narrowly avoided her hand, Zhao Surui raised his chin:

"Your battle is like a gift, what's the good thing? Open it and take a look."

Seeing that "Shen Shiqing" was so direct, Gu Shi was a little at a loss, she turned to look at the mother-in-law and maids who were following her, and said with a reluctant smile:

"Put the things down and open them for the second young lady to see!"

The maids did as they were told.

"This is some clothes and jewelry for you, although the family does not have to be in the past, it is still necessary to have this dignity."

The first few boxes are filled with some winter coats and hairpin rings, which look new, but the material style is not fashionable.

Glancing at the pomegranate flowers on it, Zhao Surui had some suspicions that this was made by the dowry materials at the bottom of the Gu family's pressure box.

As for hairpin rings and the like, they are better than those worn on Gu's head, and the gold-inlaid beads look like that, but Zhao Surui is a person who walks around Gulou Street from beginning to end, and he doesn't know how much he bought for the maids around him, just looking at the color of these things, it is not as good as the gold-inlaid gold bracelet on Ah Chi's wrist, so the ruby on it is clear enough.

Not interested in these things, Zhao Surui looked into the box behind him again.

"These, these are some toys, sent for you to play with."

Gu's tone was a little awkward.

Zhao Surui walked to the side of a box, looked down, and saw a bronze statue of Maitreya, which should have been wrapped in gold leaf outside, because after a long time, the gold leaf fell off, revealing a mottled appearance.

This kind of thing was actually delivered to me?

Zhao Surui smiled coldly, and he was about to say a few sarcastic words, when he saw that Ah Chi had already approached and took out the Buddha to take a closer look.

"Girl, this is the Buddha you married, and my uncle specially asked for it for you from the White Horse Temple in Luoyang.

Before, Mrs. Bo said that she wanted to pray for the second young master, and she borrowed this Buddha from you, and it has been four or five years."

One "borrowed", one "four or five years", Ah Chi bit the words very clearly.

Zhao Surui suddenly realized.

What to give something, in the final analysis, is just to exchange the dowry that was taken from Shen Sanfu in the past.

Probably the first two boxes of clothes and jewelry are some "gifts".

Although he knew that Shen Sanrui chose to marry into the Xie family in order to find out the cause of her father's death, and he may not have really suffered any losses over the years, Zhao Surui still felt that his heart was not smooth, since these things were Shen Sanru's, then the rounding was his!

Since he took his things, how could he send them back in the name of giving gifts so secretly?

Turning his head to look at the Gu family, Zhao Surui seemed to smile:

"It seems that this Buddha is really very spiritual, and the golden body on his body is almost gone, so he wants to return it."

Gu Shi's face was so embarrassed that he almost clutched the handkerchief in his hand into rags.

"This, this was found in the house of the Wu family, who accompanied my mother-in-law, and I took the maids to look at the page of the booklet before I found out that this is something in your room, brother-in-law."

As he spoke, Gu almost cried.

She has been married to the Xie family for fifteen or sixteen years, and she manages the family affairs every day, and she feels that she is a future Mrs. Uncle who is in charge of the house.

Wu's one-person house alone copied out of the family no less than two thousand taels, she, the wife of the prince is reluctant to wear the makeup satin, people are willing to wear it, and she, the wife of the prince, is reluctant to use the good insect wax, people are willing to use it.

That's it, she was already a surprise to be able to recover a pair of mutton fat white jade rings in her dowry, and to get some silver on the account.

But today, her husband wants her to return the dowry of her brother-in-law who was ignored by those slaves, why? She did not swallow it, nor did she take it!

Seeing "Shen Shiqing" looking at him coldly, the Gu family was ashamed and ashamed, marrying into such a ridiculous family, neither earning a fortune nor getting benefits, every day he opened his eyes like a poor man who was being collected for debts, thinking about how to pick out the three melons and two dates, and now such a shameful thing has been pushed on her head.

When she was young, how many sisters envied her for marrying into Bofu and enjoying happiness, which is this happiness?

This is clearly a hell of a nose!

"In addition to this Buddha statue, there are also a few calligraphy and paintings, which were also stolen from his mother-in-law by the slave, some of which have been sold and converted into silver and sent to you, and some and some are still there, and they have also been sent to you."

After speaking, Gu Shi pulled his legs and left, and happened to meet Su Yao'er, Xia He and Liu Tianxing, who came with their children in front of the monument of "Qingfeng Xu", and almost bumped into a place.

"You came just in time, Xie Lin'an asked the Gu family to send some clothes and jewelry, the jewelry is not very good, I asked Tu Nan to send it to the silver building to melt and redo it, you helped me guard the yard before these girls, I haven't rewarded you seriously, you can choose one piece of jewelry when the time comes, as for the clothes, I am also impatient to wear them made outside, you and Ah Chi discussed it."

Zhao Surui has always been generous when he talks about meritorious deeds.

Xia He and Liu Tianxing immediately rejoiced, and stepped forward to accompany Zhao Surui to look at the contents of the box.

Su Yao'er stood with the child on the side, and also saw the bronze Buddha held in Ah Chi's hand.

"This was sent by the young lady's aunt in the past, how did it become like this?"

Zhao Surui looked at her.

The things in Shen San's abandoned room, Ah Chi just knew, how could this Su Yao'er know.

"This is copied from Mrs. Sun's companion room, and it is copied out of Shen ...... I can't remember my dowry in the past."

"The young lady's affairs, all the piles, the concubines remember."

With a smile on the corner of her lips, Su Yao'er leaned over and took out a three-inch gilt incense burner from the box:

"This is specially made by the young lady in order to mix and try the incense, the lady said that she had a headache, you mixed the incense and sent it over,

Even the incense recipe and the incense burner were left behind."

After speaking, Su Yao'er picked up another pair of calligraphy and paintings.

"This is the "Qin Crane Picture" of the previous dynasty, before the family came to the guest, borrowed from the young lady to furnish, and never came back, the young lady still likes this painting, always said that the pen is delicate, the coloring is exquisite, the most outstanding thing is to smell the qin without seeing the qin, only the crane shadow accompanies each other, the artistic conception is superb."

After speaking, Su Yao'er turned her head and looked at "Shen Shiqing" with a pair of affectionate eyes: "Madam, what you said before, I remember it right?"

Zhao Surui's face was expressionless.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that he was not as happy as before.

Obviously, someone sent something over, but he felt that he had lost money and went out.

Turning his head to stop looking at Su Yao'er, Zhao Surui waved his hand: "Put away all these things, and make room for another ...... Two empty storerooms come out."

As soon as the warehouse was vacated, after noon, Xie Linan led people to the door carrying things in a majestic manner.

Zhao Surui originally wanted to ask Ah Chi what was going on with Su Yao'er, but he had to leave it for the time being.

"Mrs. Shen, a total of more than 17,000 taels of silver have been found here, and the gold and silver can also be folded out for 3,000 taels, I have moved here, all of them are left for you, and there are still a few that have not been searched, you can rest assured, I still have good things to send you tomorrow."

Xie Lin'an was so enthusiastic that he even took a lot of steps in all directions.

Zhao Surui sneered: "Let your wife come when you return the dowry, and you will come yourself when you send the money, Xie Lin'an, your brother is a donkey, you are a chicken, a chicken thief's chicken."

With the silver in hand, how does Xie Linan care about what is said? smiled and saluted "Shen Shiqing".

Then he leaned in and whispered:

"Mrs. Shen, my mother's companion is not very thick, and my grandmother's companion has really made three generations of money from our Xie family, when will we do it? When I collect the money, I will wait for your order, and the heavenly soldiers of the West Factory will come to take down the rebellious Zhao Qinyang!"

Xie Lin'an fought this idea, he took the lead and denounced Zhao Qinyang, even if he couldn't keep the title of his family, it was always enough to take money to be a rich man, his father was rebellious, and the house was rarely allowed to raid the house, these subordinates didn't have any benefits, it was better to be slaughtered by him and eat meat, what about himself? Steal some money and keep it out so that you can live comfortably in the future.

Three feet away, Zhao Surui could hear the sound of Xie Lin's abacus beads in his heart, he touched the kitten in his arms, and said:

"Your grandmother, hasn't moved?"

"I went to ask for a peace this morning, but I didn't enter the courtyard gate, I kowtowed three times and left, and my grandmother said that my grandmother wanted to see me, and I excused myself to be busy."

Zhao Surui said "hmm".

After thinking about it with calm eyes, after Xie Lin'an left, Zhao Surui found Tu Nan.

"Go find me a dagger that fits snugly, be sharp."

As soon as he finished his order, before dinner, an old lady wearing an autumn-scented satin armor came to invite the "Second Young Lady".

Zhao Surui didn't go.

After dinner, the old lady came again.

A letter was delivered.

Zhao Surui asked Tu Nan to study for a long time, and made sure that there was no strange poison on the letter, so he opened the letter.

"There's a pregnancy in the middle palace."

Zhao Surui: ......

These people really treat Shen Sanfu as my concubine?!

Wrong!

These people really treat me as Shen San's concubine?!

Not right either!

Emperor Zhaode was so angry that he ate a plate of jujube cakes.
