Chapter 354 Plum Blossom Cake (1)
Back to Jingyunhou Mansion, just after entering the door, Lin Fei bumped into his elder brother who was waiting for him to come back.
Called "Big Brother", and when he was about to turn around and leave, his elder brother's voice sounded first.
"Afi."
Lin Fei stopped and looked up at his brother.
Under the moonlight, Prince Jingyun Hou stood tall, with a tall and straight figure, and good facial features. Although he was not a great talent, he was more than enough to keep these two words.
Lin Fei was looking at his elder brother, and Prince Jingyunhou was also looking at him: It's cold and cold, no matter how much a woman cares about her appearance, it's not easy to mess with herself, let alone my family doesn't bother with it on weekdays The second younger brother, he was dressed in a thick black robe, and only a navy blue fox fur cape was casually draped over it.
The color of the robe is dark and not eye-catching, but it is worn on A Fei's body. Such an inconspicuous color is set off with an unspeakable extravagance.
The prince lowered his eyelids, and smiled wryly in his heart: It seems that people like them don’t rely on their looks to make a living, but... such things as appearances are really the icing on the cake for Ah Fei, who is also outstanding in ability and talent, even compared to relying on appearance alone. The ability of people to add flowers is greater.
No matter how you don't take the initiative to make grievances, the natural political views are not right, and the people who are all in the iron bucket of Jingyunhou's mansion will always use A Fei as a raft, making sarcastic remarks, and at the same time secretly instigating and implying that his father should change his son.
Of course, there are not many such people, and his father is by no means a partial listener or believer. Ah Fei and him have had a good relationship since childhood, and their relationship has not been affected. But he is not an absolute saint, how could such a voice be completely inaudible? I still care about it in my heart, and I feel guilty at the same time.
Even though he knew that I had to disregard dissuasion to enter the Yamen of Dali Temple because I liked these things since I was a child, but he always felt that he was delaying Ah Fei's future. The position of Dali Temple Minister who is the head of the Dali Temple Yamen is not low, but that's the case if he is in the top. If you don't enter this yamen with Ah Fei's talents, you may not be able to earn a better future if you fight for it.
I think a lot in my heart, and because I feel that I owe something, I always want to make up for it in other aspects. This marriage is a good opportunity. Ah Fei's appearance and character can definitely take this opportunity to find a helpful Yue family.
But... Shizi looked at Lin Fei who came back from outside, smelled the faint smoke from his body, and wanted to know where he went.
"A Fei went to the public kitchen again?" The prince asked, looked at Lin Fei, and asked, "Meet that daughter of the Wen family?"
The fingers hidden in the sleeves moved, Lin Fei raised his eyes, looked at the kind-hearted brother in front of him, but felt that he owed his elder brother again, thought for a while, and said: "I went to see Zhao You. Seeing how delicious he is. , and took two bites by the way. It’s not to see Wen’s daughter, brother be careful.”
A word of "careful words" made Shizi speechless, shook his head, pulled back the thoughts that Lin Fei had led back, and said to him: "A Fei, don't talk nonsense! You go around like this every day Do you think it is reasonable for the public chef to run away and eat the food made by the daughter of the Wen family?"
"Where is this unreasonable?" Lin Fei asked his elder brother back, "I am the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. The Holy Majesty advocates frugality, and the food from the public kitchen suits my appetite. I eat from the public kitchen and don't go out to restaurants to waste money Don't care?"
"As for Master Wen, she is the master of our public kitchen. It is very common for me to have contact with her when I go to the public kitchen for dinner." Lin Fei said.
Lin Shizi always felt that Lin Fei would lead him astray every time he opened his mouth on such matters. He said what was in his heart: "You are a man, and she is a woman. Although it is not like the previous court, have you two been in contact with each other too much?"
Lin Shizi was a little sweaty on his forehead, faintly aware that today he might be fooled like before, thought for a while, and then said: "Even if we have some contact, we should know how to avoid suspicion."
"The two of us are upright and upright. If we deliberately avoid suspicion, we will fall into the ground." Lin Fei said, and glanced at Lin Shizi, "Brother, you are worrying too much, so it is better."
Is it really better? Lin Shizi always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while. After thinking for a while, he said: "A Fei, I know that you will do what you say. Why don't you give me an accurate word today: If you are the same as that Wen My daughter will not be involved in anything, and I will definitely find a woman who matches your family in the future to marry. In this way... I am completely relieved."
Lin Fei's eyes flickered when he heard his elder brother mention "the right family is right", but he didn't say anything. He only said after his elder brother finished speaking, "Don't worry, elder brother, I have never exchanged poems with Master Wen, so what can we do?" wrong?"
When the "poetry exchange" was mentioned, Lin Shizi, who was waiting for Lin Fei to give the words, blushed. After he met the princess, both parties started to exchange poems and got to know each other. At that time...
Just as he was thinking, the cold wind blew, and he was shocked. Lin Shizi suddenly came back to his senses, but saw that Lin Fei, who was still asking himself in front of him just now, had gone away.
A Fei’s sentence today is considered accurate? Lin Shizi was a little uncertain, so he had no choice but to face Lin Fei's already gone figure, and raised his voice, "A Fei, come back earlier next time! If it wasn't for my grandfather thinking about his old friend today, he almost didn't fool him!"
In return, it was Lin Fei who raised his arm and waved it slightly, signaling that he understood.
…
…
After the young year, I will continue to come to the Yamen. This case has not yet been settled.
The annual holidays stipulated by Dayei start on the eve of New Year’s Eve. Of course, there are also officials who use their remaining annual leave this year to combine the same year’s holidays with the same year’s holidays.
Some record-keeping officials who do things that have little to do with the investigation itself have already started the New Year’s holiday in advance, but the officials in charge of the investigation will not be able to do so, even if they still have a lot of annual leave.
Looking at the case-handling lobby with fewer people, Liu Yuan couldn't help sighing: "I still have a few days of annual leave left, but unfortunately I have a case in hand, so I have to stay until New Year's Eve..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Zhu who came in from behind: "It's better to take advantage of these few days to investigate the case quickly, at least arrest all the suspects. They will be called back to investigate the case on the first day of the new year."
Hearing this, Liu Yuan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and said: "If that's the case, it's really better to stay up all night to check the direction and come out."
After Liu Sanqing's accident, they inevitably had long nights and dreams. Except for Zhang Wulin, they visited the remaining tea merchants Su Fuhai, Wenwan merchant Lu Yuanlin, and flower and tree merchant Qian Chengli one by one. Upon closer inspection, it seems that everyone hides some secrets inside.
However, before investigating the case, we must first resolve the issue of Chaoshi. Liu Yuan took the oil-paper package of Chaoshi from Bai Zhu's hand, and said, "Today's public chef's Chaoshi is so small? What is it?"
"Plum Blossom Cake." Bai Zhu took a bite of the glutinous rice cake in his hand, and said, "You can get one each with bean paste filling, sesame seed filling, and meat filling. I'll get you all."
