Chapter 171 Hot dry noodle egg flower rice wine (2)
Seeing Liu Yuan leave quickly after eating the food, Yu Jijiu's bowl of hot dry noodles also bottomed out. Licking the aroma of sesame sauce from the corner of his mouth, Yu Jijiu got up, walked to the counter and asked Wen Mingtang to order some more diced radish and capers.
The capers are sour and appetizing, and the diced radish is spicy and refreshing. It tastes crisp and raw. Although it is an auxiliary ingredient, Yu Jijiu likes it very much. I think it will be very good with porridge and wine.
After sending off Yu Jijiu, the meal time was coming to an end, Wen Mingtang went outside the public kitchen to look at the sun, then turned back to the public kitchen.
The act of going out to look at the sun caught Ji Caimai's eyes. He thought for a while and asked Wen Mingtang: "Master Wen is wondering why Zhao You didn't come to help Lin Shaoqing get the court food today?"
Wen Mingtang nodded, and said frankly: "It's a little strange, Lin Shaoqing seems to have never had a time when he didn't come to the public kitchen to eat the morning food."
As soon as Ji Caimai said this, before Ji Caimai could speak, Tangyuan corrected Wen Mingtang's words: "Master Wen is wrong! Before you came to the public kitchen, Lin Shaoqing rarely came to the public kitchen, that is, Master Wen's craftsmanship suits his appetite , he only comes every day!"
But having said that, it's really strange that Lin Shaoqing and Zhao You didn't come today. Even Liu Sicheng didn't talk much nonsense, and ran away after eating the court food in a hurry.
"Maybe he went to catch the murderer!" Ji Caimai shook his head indifferently when he saw this, and continued to lower his head to make calculations, "When I left yesterday, I saw Lin Shaoqing telling Liu Sicheng and the others to go there earlier. Besides ..."
Besides, this case has indeed dragged on for a long time for Lin Shaoqing, and it is time to settle it.
…
…
The bustard sat in the rocking chair with her legs crossed, looked up at the prostitutes who were dancing on the stage not far ahead, and nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, let's practice according to this!" The old bustard said, with a little smile on his face, and turned his head to talk to the intellectual who was helping her fan and handing grapes, "The eyes of the nobles have long been tricked." , if there is no new thing that stands out, how can it catch their eyes? Once our Feitianwu comes out, it will definitely set off a new trend in the capital, and then..."
Before he finished speaking, a crisp voice sounded.
"Mother!"
This sound is extremely fluent and standard mandarin, which is so fluent that many locals in Chang'an cannot speak it. When the old bustard heard the voice, the smile on his face faded quickly, and he turned his head to look at the woman who was coming, with a high ponytail combed like a man, but wearing a women's Hu suit.
The brows of the procuress, who was dressed in such a nondescript manner, frowned more and more, and when she opened her mouth, she was not polite at all: "Why? I didn't practice dancing and playing music in the early morning, and I'm going out to wander around again?"
Jin Yanxiu smiled, and just about to speak, the bustard snorted again, and said, "I don't support idlers here! Your only distinguished guest, King Yu, is in danger of losing himself. Look at your place, it's half-hearted." I haven't made any money for a month! If this continues, pack up my things and leave!"
Jin Yanxiu didn't take the madam's scolding seriously, said "hey" and said "I see", and then said: "Recently, I found a distinguished guest among the Goguryeo envoys in the hotel. It’s generous, and when I get the money, I will be able to pay my mother’s credit bill.”
As soon as she heard that she had gone out to get money, the old bustard turned pale, glanced at Jin Yanxiu in front of her, and rolled her eyes: "Then I'll be waiting here, hurry back!"
After Jin Yanxiu left, the bustard glanced at the Zhike who was helping her with the fan, said "Pooh", and said: "When this Jin Yanxiu pays the money on credit with me, then throw her out! "
The knowledgeable guest on the side responded, with no change on his face: This prostitute named Jin Yanxiu is a free agent, she came to the building by herself back then, and she never owed the building any money to redeem herself. Now I only owe some rent for staying here!
The prostitutes who were hanging on the steel wire and practicing dancing above the stage looked enviously at Jin Yanxiu who came and went freely: They are not free, if they were like Jin Yanxiu, they would have been tortured to death by the old bustard.
Leaving everything in the brothel behind, Jin Yanxiu walked briskly towards the hotel.
These days, because the people of Dali Temple were busy with Princess An of the Tongchao Dynasty, the residence where the Goguryeo envoys were located did not visit the door every day.
Jin Yanxiu came to the hotel and knocked on the door, and soon there was a knock on the door.
"Which one?"
Jin Yanxiu said: "It's me, Jin Yanxiu."
There was an "oh" from behind the door, and a middle-aged man came to open the door. Seeing that Jin Yanxiu was the only one in front of the door, he was relieved, and while leading her in, he said, "The people from Dali Temple have been waiting for you for a few days. Came here and stood guard, making everyone very uncomfortable! Those Si Cheng who were in charge of the case had to ask about trivial matters, and several times they almost made them ask the point. It really made me wait for fear that I would accidentally miss it Shut up..."
Jin Yanxiu couldn't help nodding when she heard that, and said in agreement: "Those ministers of the temple are indeed powerful, and Lin Shaoqing is said to be even stronger! If they hear something, it will be terrible!"
The envoy of the envoy who brought her in said "Yes", then paused, looked around, saw that there was no one around, turned his head and whispered to Jin Yanxiu: "The romantic boy surnamed An is the same as the Princess and him. The fiancée has already stunned us, after you go in and kill those people, throw the murder weapon into Master Zhao's room."
When Jin Yanxiu heard this, she said "Yes", expressing that she understood: "Master Zhao belongs to the prince. Although Mrs. An is useless, Mrs. An and the others are very powerful. This trick of framing the blame can be called An My lord and the others are going to meet with lord Zhao, so that the prince can succeed smoothly."
The envoy who was about to speak was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but glanced at Jin Yanxiu, and said: "You speak Chinese so fluently, you can even use Chinese idioms so well!"
Jin Yanxiu laughed immediately when she heard the words, she stretched out her hand to grab a handful of broken hair, and played with it in her hand: "I came to Dayong when I was five years old, so naturally I learned all the good things about Dayong!" , without waiting for the envoy to speak, she raised her eyebrows, and said again, "My lord's move to bring disaster to the east is very good! It's just that in the future..."
Jin Yanxiu didn't finish the remaining words, but just glanced at the envoy who was speaking, waiting for him to answer.
The envoy glanced at her and said: "I understand! The Moro religion has helped us a lot. If the prince ascends to the throne, he will definitely restore your Moro religion to orthodoxy. By then, it is not impossible to become the state religion of Goguryeo."
Jin Yanxiu never moved a step forward, but continued to look at the envoy without speaking.
The envoy looked at Jin Yanxiu's eyes and immediately understood, saying: "Your father was the leader of the Moro religion back then. After becoming a state religion, you can naturally become a saint of the state religion."
Hearing this, Jin Yanxiu nodded, looked at the envoy again, and reminded him: "There is one more person."
The envoy understood: "You mean Lord Quan? The revenge for killing your father is to be avenged. After everything is done, he will be handed over to you. If you want to kill or cut him up, you can do whatever you want!"
