Today's kitchen in Xiangfu is very lively - the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived, the chefs are busy with the filling of moon cakes, and the little guys are fighting: some are washing crabs, and some are mixing noodles...... The maids came from the front yard to fetch breakfast for the left prime minister and his wife and concubines. At this time, there was a small guy to report, Zuo Xiang instructed, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival needs to prepare more meals, vegetables, fruits, pastries and tea, saying that the king of Dingnan wants to visit Xiangye, and he needs to prepare more carefully than in previous years.

After hearing this, this kitchen is naturally busier - in the years when Zuo Xiang was in the court, although the Mid-Autumn Festival was lively, the kitchen of things that could be prepared had already been memorized, but this year, with the arrival of the emperor's relatives, presumably the entire Prime Minister's Mansion had to break the bank.

Pu Mu walked out of the guest room, and the little guys greeted Pu Mu one after another, and Pu Mu returned the salute. The maids brought breakfast and said, "Uncle Pu, where do you need to put breakfast?"

"It's good on the stone table in the courtyard, I'm tired of the girl—" Pu Mu said.

The maid put breakfast and returned the gift and withdrew from the courtyard. Pu Mu opened the porridge bowl and drank the porridge, the porridge milk has a strong taste, Pu Mu loves milk, and he loves to drink raw milk when he was under the Shaomu Mountain in the early years, so he also suffered several diseases. Pu Mu stopped a little guy who had cleaned up the house for himself and wanted to leave, and said, "Little brother, is the porridge in your house made of cow's milk?"

The little guy said: "If you go back to Uncle Pu, the grandfather and his wife are uncomfortable with this milk, and the rest of the aunts don't love this milk very much." It's just that Xiangye heard that Uncle Pu loves this milk, and Uncle Pu was tired last night, so he used this porridge to supplement Uncle Pu today. ”

"Okay, there's nothing to do here, you can go down, if there's anything I'll look for you again." Pu Mu said.

The little servant replied and withdrew from the courtyard. Pu Mu ate the porridge in the bowl - when he returned home last night, Zuo Xiang had already fallen asleep, so he naturally went back to the room to rest without disturbing, but he was preoccupied, tossing and turning, and slept lightly for a while around the fourth watch.

Pu Mu's heart was naturally concerned about Yan Yu's injury and Zuo Zheng's analysis of this, and he wanted to know which people had been obstructing the reorganization of Ouchi. Of course, there was also the man who called the treacherous wind that night, and he didn't know whether this man was friend or foe. In addition, there is also the question of whether he will be able to enter Ouchi in the future......

After eating an egg, Pu Mu grabbed a piece of steamed cake and walked out of the courtyard, passed through several turning corridors, and arrived at Zuo Xiang's study, where the people in the room said that Zuo Xiang was still in the study in his courtyard. After Pu Mu ate all the steamed cakes in his hand, he immediately went to Zuo Xiang's room, and Mrs. Zuo Xiang saw Pu Mu coming in the courtyard and said: "Pu Shaoxia is here, the master is waiting for you, I just wanted to send someone to invite the young man, and the young man came, so go in and talk to the master." ”

Pu Mu saw that Mrs. Zuo Xiang was taking care of Qiu Ju in the courtyard with a few maids, and Pu Mu smiled: "Mrs. Yaxing." With that, he went into the room.

When Zuo Xiang saw Pu Mu, he immediately asked someone to look at the tea, put down the scroll in his hand, and said: "Yesterday Pu Shaoxia had a harvest? This appearance is really old, and yesterday he was angry and injured his body, after Pu Shaoxia left, his body was still unwell, so he sent someone to decoct the medicine, took the medicine, and the medicinal properties came up, and he fell asleep, and he had no choice but to sleep." It just so happens that today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace is busy with celebrations, and the emperor is not in the early court, otherwise this old bone ...... Hey, don't say anything, I don't know what happened to Pu Shaoxia yesterday?

"Xiangye's body is important—" Pu Mu said. After that, Pu Mu told Zuo Xiang everything that happened yesterday.

Zuo Xiang said: "Now the witness doesn't know what to do? The person who was captured doesn't know if the patrol room can interrogate anything? So, Pu Shaoxia, you and I will go to the patrol room to see what is going on." After that, Zuo Xiang immediately passed people into the room and asked the front yard to prepare horses.

As soon as the two walked out of the door, Mrs. Zuo Xiang said, "Where is the master going?"

"Well, you don't have to ask. We'll go back as soon as we go. "Left phase

Mrs. Zuo Xiang said: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor is not in charge of politics, and the lord still has to run around on business?

"I said that I will go back as soon as I go, and it will not delay time, why do you have so many words?" Zuo Xiang shook his head and said.

Pu Mu said: "What Madame said is reasonable, King Dingnan's visit today, if it is really delayed, it may be difficult to explain to the prince; ”

"That is, even if the master doesn't listen to me as a woman, Pu Shaoxia's words will always be in his ears-" Mrs. Zuo Xiang said.

Zuo Xiang was speechless in an instant, "You guys...... That's it, I think Pu Shaoxia will also be a good player in the future in the future, so it's time to do some things by himself and be familiar with the way of this officialdom. You have my private seal in your hand, so that you can do it conveniently. ”

Pu Mu took the seal and said, "Thank you for your love, Pu Mu naturally checked it clearly." ”

"Return early after checking clearly, you have to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in the house today. Zuo Xiangdao.

Pu Mu said: "Yes-Pu Muding came back earlier." With that, Pu Mu walked out of the courtyard.

Horses' hooves crossed the downtown - during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was a little more lively than usual, the hawkers' stalls were unusually crowded, and there were more horse-drawn carriages on the streets.

There was a neighing of horses, Pu Mu had arrived at the gate of the patrol yard - a green and iron head hung on the plaque at the gate of the patrol yard, there were stone lions on both sides, the dark gate was open, and a few catchers came out of the door, holding gift boxes in their hands, chatting with each other and going down the steps, the guards saluted the heads of the heads, and the heads of the catchers just left with a few words - the patrol court celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival today, and each head catcher was issued with a moon cake specially ordered by the Criminal Department.

Pu Mu dismounted and walked into the gate, the guard stopped Pu Mu, saw that Pu Mu was dressed in civilian clothes, and said: "Go to the street on the left of the Yamen of the capital, this is not the place for you to report the crime." ”

Sure enough, Zuo Xiang's private seal had an effect, Pu Mu showed the seal, and said, "I came here to do things on the orders of the prime minister." The guards broke out in a cold sweat and immediately said, "Your Excellency, please—"

The guard led the horse for Pu Mu, Pu Mu wiped his clothes, entered the patrol yard, and was led by a guard to the squad room of the patrol yard, and it was Jin Zhutou who was on duty at this time, and Jin Zhutou saw Pu Mu coming, and immediately greeted him with a smile, and said: "Brother Pu, do you still run to our Senluo Hall during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Pu Mu said: "Brother Jin, don't joke - yesterday's ......"

"The woman's injuries last night stopped, and this morning the doctor prescribed some conditioning medicine, and she got better. We don't have a guest room here, so we can only take care of an empty women's cell for her to stay in temporarily. Those women who were captured, Lord Wu of the Criminal Department was ready to be arraigned, and yesterday he sent a judge to detain them, thinking that they were already in the prison cell of the government office today. Jin Catcher said.

Pu Mu was puzzled and said, "Brother Jin, you have reported to the Criminal Department yesterday?"

"Oh, Brother Jin doesn't know, because the number of cells we have captured and detained is limited, and they cannot be interrogated privately, they need to be reported to the people of the Criminal Department within three days after they are arrested. Jin Zhutou continued: "After settling the girl last night, the head of the hunt discussed, and if the Mid-Autumn Festival disciples added trouble, they reported to the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department was also promoted to the court at night and interrogated overnight. ”

Pu Mu said with a smile: "It seems that the people who patrol the house want to go home for a reunion during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also human nature." ”

"I'm not afraid of Brother Pu's jokes, there are a lot of people in this patrol room. If you just rush home for the holidays, it will be much better, and it will be ...... on weekdays Ay...... When Brother Pu arrives in Ouchi, if he gains power, he will also transfer me to Ouchi and come to work under Brother Pu-" Jin Zhutou said.

Pu Mu said: "Don't talk about this...... Let me go and see the woman. ”

Jin Zhutou then led Pu Mu out of the class room together, through a small courtyard full of moss around the perimeter, into the conference hall, and then walked a few steps to the end of the cell, these days there was no one in the cell, in the cell on the right Yan Yu leaned against the wall, saw Pu Mu, the corner of his mouth smiled.

The two opened the cell door, Yan Yu's face was still pale, and said, "I thought you would put me in prison directly." ”

Pu Mu said: "Are you feeling better today?"

Yan Yu didn't reply, she was a little surprised-she had never heard such simple words in so many years, she had never heard a word of greeting among those men. Especially in this Jianghu, she uses others, others use her, but she has long been used to all this - maternal love was gone when she was born, and father's love was not there when she was sold to Qinglou by her foolish father, and she has not heard such words in the past ten years in the rivers and lakes-she is a little uncomfortable, and said: "Much better......"

"Then who is behind the scenes?" asked Pu Mu.

Yan Yu opened his unpainted lips and said, "The son of the emperor today-"

Pu Mu and Jin Zhutou were both taken aback.

Jin Zhutou looked back at the hall and whispered: "Is this true, girl, there are three heirs of the emperor, your words are so general......

"Brother Jin, this is not the place to speak, I want to take Miss Yan to the Prime Minister's Mansion, King Dingnan will come tonight, Xiangye and King Dingnan will analyze carefully, and they will definitely be able to draw some clues. Jin Zhutou, this matter must not be talked about to the second person. If someone asks about Miss Yan's whereabouts, you will say that the prime minister will be arraigned and sent someone to escort her away. Pu Mu said.

Jin Zhutou thought for a while and said, "Brother Pu still needs to remind the prime minister to take more precautions - if it is really the prince's doing, I am afraid that the left minister will be in crisis." ”

"Thank you Brother Jin for what you said, I will not leave to protect Zuo Xiang these days. Pu Mu said.

Pu Mu immediately helped up Yan Yu who was lying on the couch, Yan Mo put one hand on Pu Mu's shoulder, and the other hand held the edge of the bed, and after getting up with difficulty, he immediately covered his lower abdomen, only to see that Yan Yu's forehead hurt beads of sweat, and blood oozed from his lower abdomen. Jin Zhutou said: "It's suffered - the wound is not treated." How can this be good, Doctor Wang has gone home for the Mid-Autumn Festival at this time, and he can't find anyone to treat him for a while——"

At this time, the guard at the front door came to report, saying that there was a man who reported the news from outside the door, Pu Mu's eyes lit up, and he said to the guard: "Please come in——"

Afterwards, Pu Mu said to Jin Zhutou: "That person knows medical skills, and he wants to be cured-"

Jin Zhutou also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's very good." ”

After a while, Wei Feng went to the cell and said, "Fortunately, I remember what happened last night, so let's take a look today." ”

After that, Wei Feng took a look at Yan Yu's side, and immediately turned his head and said, "First send someone to fetch a basin of hot water, a pot of wine, and a clean white cloth and candle flame——"

Jin Zhutou immediately ordered the arrester on duty to prepare quickly, and after the hot water, wine, and white cloth were all taken to the cell, he said treacherously: "You guys quickly avoid——"

Pu Mu and Jin Zhutou knew that Yan Yu was injured in something that was difficult to speak, and immediately avoided going to the conference hall. I saw Wei Feng point several acupuncture points of Yan Yu with both hands, took out a packet of medicinal powder from his bag, put it into the rice wine scalded with hot water, poured out a bowl, and fed it to Yan Yu, who fell asleep after drinking it.

Wei Feng gently untied the belt on Yan Yu's waist, leaked out of Yan Yu's waist, and pulled down Yan Yu's shirt, only to see the wound burst, and there was also an obvious scar on the original wound. "It turned out to be an old injury and a new injury, and Lang Zhong must have been ashamed to investigate it carefully last night, and the injury here was not handled carefully. The wind muttered to himself.

I saw that Wei Feng took out a small black paper bag, carefully opened it, dipped the medicine powder in water and adjusted it to a paste, poured it all onto the white cloth, gently wrapped it around Yan Yu's wound, and after a quarter of an hour, took off the white cloth again;

Wei Feng took out a pill, relieved Yan Yu's acupoint, fed Yan Yu to eat, and then shouted to the council room, "You guys can come here-"

After Pu Mu and Jin Zhutou came, they saw Wei Feng who was washing their hands and Yan Yu who was asleep, and before the two could speak, Wei Feng shook his head and said: "The doctor of your mansion, seeing that the injury here is afraid of being ashamed of words, he hurriedly healed it, causing her wound to burst, and the old injury also recurred, but fortunately, now the wound is sutured, and she is fed the medicine I specially refined to tonic and conditioning, which is good." ”

The two of them were a little surprised, and Pu Mu said, "Brother Tricky Wind, you ...... You ...... for her"

Her wounded lower abdomen went straight through...... In the future, I think I won't be able to have children......" Strange Wind sighed.

Jin Zhutou said: "You don't have to tell us this......

Pu Mu and Jin Zhutou naturally didn't care about these things, and they were also a little surprised by what Wei Feng had just done, but they also understood the heart of the doctor.

"Doctor, I naturally have some emotion for the patient, thank you Brother Tricky Wind, but how many hours does it take for her to wake up?" asked Pu Mu.

Wei Feng said: "This hemp boiling powder is the heirloom treasure of the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and the amount of medicine I give her may take a quarter of an hour." ”

Then they waited for a while, and then the three of them found a stool and sat in the cell. Pu Mu said: "I don't want to say goodbye to my brother yesterday, but I will see you again today." However, I still don't know what my brother is doing in Beijing?"

"Don't be surprised when you say it, brothers, I want to come and be the commander of Ouchi-" said the strange wind.

Although the two were a little surprised, they could think about it carefully, the imperial court did send heroic posts to the rivers and lakes to recruit Ouchi commanders and guards. But most of the heroes are famous and decent, and they have not been scattered, but at present, judging from yesterday's martial arts path, this person is not a school or faction, and he doesn't know which faction this person in front of him is a master.

Jin Zhutou said: "Don't hide it from my brother, this Pu Shaoxia is one of the candidates for the commander of the Ouchi recommended by the left minister. ”

"This ...... It is still necessary for officials to recommend them before they can participate in the ......" trickery.

Jin Zhutou said: "This, I don't know and don't dare to talk nonsense - can Brother Pu know the details?"

"This ...... I don't know, listening to what Xiang Ye said, people in the rivers and lakes can also participate in the competition, but Brother Weifeng, can you want to participate in the competition through Xiang Ye's recommendation?" Pu Mu said.

Wei Feng said: "The left minister is the pillar of the court, honest and upright, if the strange wind can be appreciated by the minister, it would be better." ”

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I can introduce you to Zuo Xiang, and it just so happens that you and I escort Miss Yan back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss matters with Zuo Xiang. Pu Mu said.

Yan Yu had woken up while speaking, and felt that his body was much more comfortable, and Pu Mu said: "Jin Zhutou, please prepare a horse for foot strength." Brother Tricky Wind, Miss Yan may not be able to ride a horse alone, so she asked her brother to give her a ride. ”

Turning his head, Pu Mu said to Yan Yu again: "Thank you for your life-saving benefactor-Mr. Trick Wind." ”

After Yan Yu thanked him, the two of them helped Yan Yu out of the patrol yard, and the treacherous wind hugged Yan Yu on the horse, and he protected Yan Yu in the back, Pu Mu opened the way in front of him, and the two horses walked away. "I ...... I don't know how Mr. handled my wound?" Yan Yu said.

"Naturally, it was topical, and then the wound was stitched up. The girl also knows the way of medicine?"

Yan Yu swallowed: "Then you can see ......"

"I know...... The girl is not a virgin anymore. But I know a little bit about the experience of the 'Shadow Demon', and I'm not surprised to have this result. "Treacherous Wind.

Yan Yu never replied, she knew that many people thought of her like this, naturally, she would not be angry with her life-saving benefactor.

At this time, the food vendors on the streets have closed their stalls one after another, and they are also going home to reunite with their families, and when it is nightfall, the city will be more lively.

When lunch arrived, Pu Mu and the others entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, and several family members led the way and took the three of them to the reception room in the backyard. The little guys were naturally surprised by the strange wind and the Yan Yu they were supporting, and asked, "Uncle Pu, this master and the young lady are ......?"

"These two are the distinguished guests I want to introduce to Xiangye - this is Mr. Tricky Wind, and this is Miss Yan. ”

After the servants saluted the two, the group went to the reception room - the dinner party of the Prime Minister's Mansion this year was much richer than usual, not to mention the large plate of steamed crab in the center of the table and the crab porridge on the side, not to mention the rest of the venison and steamed chicken, just those complicated side dishes, which made many people's eyes shine.

Zuo Xiang, his wife and several concubines were seated, Zuo Xiang and his wife sat at the main table, and on the other table sat the three aunts, and Zuo Xiang's son and daughter.

"Pu Shaoxia is here, come and take a seat, the two of you think it's the guests brought by Pu Shaoxia, sit down together-" Zuo Xiang said.

Pu Mu and the other three sat down at the main table, Pu Mu introduced the two to Zuo Xiang and his wife, and Zuo Xiang smiled: "Mr. Tricky Wind is really willing to work for Ouchi?"

"My husband serves the country and stands up to the heavens and the earth, which is my highest ideal. But I only know some martial arts and medical Taoism, and I don't know if I can enter the Great Inner - "Tricky Wind Dao."

Zuo Xiang said: "The person recommended by Pu Shaoxia, how can he be a mediocre person, come, Mr. Ben Xiangjing has a cup——"

After raising his glass and drinking it all, Pu Mu said: "I have been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for such a long time, and I don't know the children of the Prime Minister, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, can you allow the Prime Minister to introduce you——"

"Hahaha-all come here, all come here-" Zuo Xiang said. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second son Zuo Hua, the youngest son Zuo Guang, this is the eldest daughter Zuo Ying, and the youngest daughter Zuo Lan. ”

Several sons and daughters saluted with the three of them, and the three of them returned the salute, and asked Wei Feng, "Why is the eldest son of the left prime minister?"

"Hahaha...... Mr. didn't know that the eldest son went west with the king of Zhenbei and is now stationed at the border pass. Zuo Xiangdao.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zuo Xiang wiped her tears, and Wei Feng knew that her words and deeds made people uncomfortable, so she immediately responded: "Madame forgive me, Xiaomin asked Madame about the sore spot without concealment...... A fine drink, a fine drink—"

After that, he immediately picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Zuo Xiang said: "It's okay, this old woman is thinking about her child, and the dog hasn't been home to reunite with her family for three years." It is also a heart jam, this year is the end of the border period, the emperor intends to transfer him back to Beijing, but the war in the northwest has started again, the king of Zhenbei took a fancy to the dog, and asked the emperor for an order, so that the dog could cooperate with the expeditionary force to quell the rebellion. ”

"The eldest prince is brave and brave, so he is appreciated by the prince, the pillar of the country, and the admiration of the small people-" Pu Mu said.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was also a little solemn, and the strange wind said: "Xiaomin damn it, make the atmosphere at this dinner table a little stiff-"

"What did Mr. say - everyone must be happy today, Bo'er contributes to the country, the moon is full today, the cold moon at the border and the bright moon in the capital are all above the sky. At this time, if Bo'er knew that we were like this, how could we fight a good fight? We should be even happier--it was Bo'er and other soldiers who fought for us for the opportunity to eat this reunion dinner with peace of mind, how could we cry so sadly-" After saying that, Zuo Xiang drank it all from the cup, closed his eyes tightly, and squeezed back his tears.

Mrs. Zuo Xiang also wiped away her tears and said, "Then the master will drink less bars, Bo'er's family letters are all concerned about your body, you have to take good care of it." ”

"That's right, father, if you drink with your guests today, your son is—" Zuo Hua said.

The wind laughed and said, "Okay, today, I'll have a few drinks with the second son—"

The atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Mansion has warmed up again. The things on the table were almost eaten, Pu Mu ate a few more glasses of wine, coupled with the rush and the things he had encountered in the past few days, his head was a little dizzy, and Yan Yu, who was silent at today's banquet, said: "You can't drink anymore today——"

Zuo Xiang said: "Yes - the prince will come to enjoy the moon together in a while, Pu Shaoxia still needs to be sober, go boil some milk, and relieve Pu Shaoxia's hangover." ”

After a while, the milk was put on the table in the stew pot, Pu Mu thanked Zuo Xiang, opened the stew cup and drank a few sips, and someone outside the door sent a message to say that the king of Dingnan came with a gift.
