Chapter 176 Small Pot Rice Noodles (3)
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the men and women who got out of the carriage were all well-dressed and complicated, and they were surrounded by maidservants and walked to the depths of the alley.
In Chang'an City, there are many foreigners who feel that "it is not easy to live in Chang'an", but there is no shortage of noble people with houses everywhere.
Princess Chao'an's mansion is very good both in terms of mansion and location. Once the princess was imprisoned, the mansion began to be put up for sale, and soon attracted new buyers.
In the alley, nobles, maidservants and servants can be seen everywhere. Outside the alley, the neighbors are sitting on the street and still gossip about the short affairs of the boss, the Li family.
One more person or one less person, the city of Chang'an is still prosperous.
Lin Fei and others happened to see this scene when they came to visit the family of Chief Jin of the Ministry of Accounting. Seeing the commotion coming and going in front of him, Liu Yuan couldn't help shaking his head, but he didn't say anything, and was ushered in by the steward.
"The master is entertaining guests at home today!" The steward said after leading them into the main hall, "Please wait a moment, my lord, the master is leading people to visit the garden."
This is not an excuse, the used teacup in the hall has not had time to be removed, after the steward left, Liu Yuan pointed to the red lip marks on the side of the teacup, and wondered: "It's actually a female guest? "
What kind of female guest would want this boss Jin to take her to the garden in person?
"There's more than one female guest, all of them are female guests!" Wei Fu on the side pointed to the teacups with lip marks on them, as if thinking of something, with a delicate expression, "I'm afraid it's..."
In the garden, Mr. Jin, who was leading several female guests, pointed to the peonies in full bloom in the garden and introduced: "The household department is busy on weekdays, but I also like to plant some flowers and plants in my spare time!"
Peony flowers are in full bloom, and one of the female guests surrounded by a veil looks at the peony flowers in the garden with satisfaction on her face.
Waiting until Master Jin took two steps forward, a little further away from the crowd, the elderly elder beside the female guest whispered to her: "He is a person who can love people and has some sense of humor. It just so happens that you like peony too." , presumably the two of you will be able to chat together in the future..."
Before he finished speaking, the steward came over in a hurry, and after he walked up to Chief Jin who was not far ahead and said something in a low voice, everyone saw that the face of the gentle and refined Chief Jin just now changed slightly, and after listening to the steward, the steward said something. After saying that, he turned around and greeted everyone, then left in a hurry.
A few female customers looked at each other in confusion, and after Mr. Jin left, the woman at the front said: "Miss Li, don't panic, go and have a look!"
Although the matchmaker is also there to make money, but even if it is a low-end job, for her part, there is no shortage of money. Hearing that the wife of Mrs. Jin had passed away not long ago and was going to continue, Dang even frowned, thinking that this person was not very good. However, the nanny of Mr. Jin pulled her aside and whispered the whole story. After realizing that Mrs. Jin committed suicide because of her own indiscretion and sorry for Mr. Jin, her expression eased, and she helped to bring the matchmaker to justice. .
Right now, seeing the expression on Master Jin's face, something is wrong with his intuition, and the matchmaker who was afraid that he was hiding something would just follow up.
There were a few servants standing outside the main courtyard, wearing the official robes of Dali Temple. At first, the matchmaker was a little hesitant to go forward, but the servants did not stop her. After saying that it was nothing important, she simply ran to the corner to eavesdrop. Yes, upon hearing this, the face of the matchmaker changed drastically.
Of course Director Jin himself did not commit any crimes against the law, otherwise he would have been arrested long ago. The nanny who broke the law was the nanny who helped explain it. After hearing that the adults in Dali Temple said that the original Mrs. Jin was framed by someone pouring dirty water out of thin air, the nanny felt that this made Master Jin feel embarrassed. He actually forced people to commit suicide.
Although Mrs. Jin committed suicide, she died under the persecution of the nanny. The nanny is naturally to blame, and the evidence is conclusive. Of course, Dali Temple will take the nanny away.
When he was taken out of the yard, he bumped into the matchmaker who had listened to the whole story and had a livid face. Dali Temple would not give the nanny a chance to talk, so he took the nanny away. The matchmaker opened her mouth, and was about to explain, but the matchmaker gave him a stern "Bah", turned around and left.
What happened next, Wen Mingtang heard about it from Liu Yuan.
"Since the matchmaker is the most powerful in Chang'an City, her mouth is naturally powerful! After she came out, she quickly yelled at the whole city about Master Jin's affairs." Liu Yuan said, "He explained that he didn't know, but even if He didn't do it. Looking at what he did afterwards, you can tell that he is a ruthless person. This is not something he can quibble about. Everyone is not a fool, and what the nanny did was that he didn't know , I have been an old servant for so many years, so I can guess it. If he really wants Mrs. Baojin, can he write a letter and wait for him to come back? The nanny sent him so many letters and didn’t reply a single one. The old servant Guessing what the master is thinking, it is not surprising to do it."
"It will be difficult for Mr. Jin to continue his work in the future. Everyone is saying that he pretends to be affectionate on weekdays, but in fact he is the most ruthless!"
"Should!" Tangyuan handed the small pot of cooked rice noodles to Liu Yuan, and hummed, "You men don't have a good thing!"
Liu Yuan, who was scolded inexplicably, touched his nose, and said aggrievedly: "It has nothing to do with me, and I can't get used to the chief surnamed Jin. If Mrs. Jin regains her status... she is a real golden branch and jade leaf. This chief Jin is afraid She is not even worthy to carry her shoes!"
It's just... no more! Although the perpetrator of this case was caught, someone still died innocently.
"At the end of the day, I still blame the fake princess, the Moro Sect..." Tangyuan counted with her fingers. In front of the food table not far away, Yu Jijiu, who was about to eat rice noodles with chopsticks, shook his head: "It's really to blame, I'm afraid." It's the late Emperor who was confused! If the first emperor was not confused, how could so many things happen?
In the late emperor's harem, there were quite a few people who "asked for immortals and asked questions". The concubine Li and others who raised the fake princess were actually pawns placed by sects from other countries. Even a sect can successfully place chess pieces in the Imperial City of Great Glory. If it is true that the sage is not the sage, after ascending the throne, most of the court ladies will be released from the palace. I don’t know how many tricks can be found in the entire imperial city!
However, if there were no such accidents, Master Wen would not be able to leave the palace smoothly.
Looking down at the bowl of "Small Pot Rice Noodles" in front of him, Yu Jijiu's throat twitched: the white rice noodles were soaked in the soup, and on top of the rice noodles was a spoonful of sauerkraut and minced pork meat. , there are sliced leeks floating on the soup on the side, and an orange fried egg lying on the side of the bowl. The ingredients of the whole pot of rice noodles are simple and can be seen at a glance.
