Chapter 24: The Wrench

"Mother!"

After Dong Ge'er reacted, his face was happy, and he wanted to go to Lu Lianzhi.

And Dou Lianyi stood in place, but the smile on his face became a little deeper.

She wanted to see if Lu Lianzhi dared to recognize Dong Ge'er's son in front of so many people.

Seeing this, Lu Lianzhi didn't know that she had been tricked, she quickly avoided Dong Ge'er, and pretended to be surprised and said softly: "I just saw a lot of people gathered here, and when I got closer, it was my sister-in-law and Dong Ge'er, and I thought that this was unfortunate, so I thought about coming in and saying hello." ”

Dou Lianyi didn't reply, and watched Lu Lianzhi act for a long time.

On the contrary, Brother Dong on the side saw that his mother didn't care about him, where did he receive such a cold reception, so he was so angry that he grabbed the pastry and smashed it to the ground.

The shopkeeper on the side was so distressed that his face turned pale and covered his chest.

"Oh, what's wrong with Brother Dong?"

Lu Lianzhi was embarrassed by Dou Lianyi in public, she was originally unhappy, but when she saw Brother Dong'er's trouble, she suddenly had a plan.

I saw her pick up the rose cake on the counter, deliberately approached Dong Ge'er's side and fed it to him, while persuading softly: "No matter what my sister-in-law does, after all, she is now your adoptive mother, and she has to listen to her after all." ”

This is clearly something in the words, and Bai Zhi was just about to step forward to refute it, but was stopped by Dou Lianyi.

"Yes, where is this adoptive mother as big as a biological mother," Dou Lianyi hooked the corners of his mouth a little playfully, and said lightly: "But as soon as the biological mother speaks, the adoptive mother can only step aside." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Lianzhi suddenly became a little uncomfortable, she raised her eyes and glanced at Dou Lianyi, but she didn't see anything unusual in her expression, as if she was just saying it casually.

"Sister-in-law, what is this, no matter the biological mother and adoptive mother, as long as she is a good person to Dong Ge'er, you don't need to be so clear."

Lu Lianzhi's face turned blue and white, and the hand raised in mid-air also retracted a little embarrassed, not daring to feed Dong Ge'er again, for fear of being seen by Dou Lianyi.

Dou Lianyi just sneered in his heart, turned his head and raised his voice to explain to the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, pack up all the pastries that Brother Fang Cai Dong likes and send them to the county king's mansion, and the losses caused today, I won't let you suffer in vain."

When Bai Zhi heard this, she immediately stepped forward and took out half a bag of silver and put it in front of the shopkeeper.

When he saw the silver, the shopkeeper immediately smiled from ear to ear, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, young lady, you are really kind-hearted!" ”

When Dong Ge'er saw that boxes of pastries were packed up and sent to the sedan chair waiting outside, he was not angry anymore, and rushed out with one step on his legs, even forgetting his own biological mother.

Dou Lianyi turned his head sideways to look at Lu Lianzhi, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, do you have anything else?" ”

A touch of viciousness flashed in Lu Lianzhi's eyes, and she clenched her fists, ashamed and annoyed, but she could only lower her head and run into the crowd in a gloomy manner.

Dou Lianyi looked at Lu Lianzhi's embarrassed back from afar, and only felt extremely comfortable in his heart.

Early the next morning, a swarthy black horse with a snort stopped outside the Jufu Restaurant, which was the favorite of the dignitaries and nobles in the capital.

Jumping from the horse, a young boy wearing a navy blue casual dress and a jade crown with his hair tied up.

I saw that he was born with a talent, a long body, and just standing there could attract the girls and ladies on the street to look at him too shyly.

As soon as the shopkeeper of Jufu Restaurant heard the report of the guy, he immediately rushed out, greeted him with a smile and asked, "What kind of wind is blowing you here today?" ”

"You're really good at talking, by the way, do you still have a room for me?"

"Of course, the eldest young master's wing room has always been reserved for you."

Hearing this, Dou Heng, the eldest young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, laughed and threw the reins in his hand to the guy waiting next to him, and the two walked in one after the other.

After about a quarter of an hour, a carriage came from a distance, stopped at the door of Jufu Restaurant, and two veiled girls walked down from the sedan chair and went straight to the second floor of the restaurant.

There was a knock on the door of the wing, and a hearty voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

One of them, the girl in a light yellow dress, stood guard outside the door, while another girl in a light blue dress walked in and closed the door with her backhand.

There was already a steaming table of good food and a pot of wine.

"I said my good sister, what is the important thing that you asked Yuzhu to come to the Xiangfu to find me early in the morning?"

Dou Heng sat on the windowsill, grinning with the light behind him.

The girl in the light blue dress raised her hand and took off the veil, revealing her beautiful face.

It was Dou Ripple.

She pulled out a chair and sat down, and said in a calm tone: "No way, I can only trust you brother in this matter." ”

"I really don't know what the husband you chose is for, and I still need you to find the help of my brother who I haven't seen for a long time."

Although Dou Heng's mouth was complaining, his eyes when he looked at his sister were full of love.

"He's really useless."

In the past, Dou Lianyi must have been in a hurry to help Lu Shangxuan say a few good words, but now she didn't even bother to raise her eyelids, and changed the topic after answering casually.

"Brother, I hope you can help me keep an eye on something in the court," Dou Lianyi paused, pondered for a moment and continued: "It's a wrench, it feels like jade, but it feels harder. ”

"What color?"

Dou Heng jumped down from the windowsill and came to Dou Lianyi, supported the table with both hands, and asked seriously.

"Black?"

"You told me to look for this thing, and you don't even know what it looks like?"

Dou Heng only felt angry and funny, and had no choice but to ask, "Then where did you see this wrench?" Why should I be watching in the court? ”

Dou Lianyi was not quite sure about this, she picked up the chopsticks and poked the West Lake vinegar fish on the table a little depressed, and muttered: "I've only seen it once, where can I remember so much." ”

What's more, it's still in that situation......

At the thought of it, Dou Ripple's cheeks turned crimson unconsciously.

"My good sister, what are you blushing for?"

Dou Heng stared at Dou Lianyi suspiciously for a while, and found that not only did she not answer herself, but even picked up a veil to cover her face.

"I'm confused myself," Dou Lianyi lifted his veil and put a piece of fish meat in his mouth, and then cheekily responded: "Anyway, you just help me pay attention." ”

For some reason, in the dead of night these days, she would sometimes think of the wrench that her fingers had held tightly when she was confused.

The moonlight that night was beautiful, but the lingering body was as hot as the sun.
