Chapter 90 Mung bean cake (6)
The walls behind the carriage were covered with silk and satin. The luxurious-looking carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and a maid jumped out.
Wen Mingtang raised his eyebrows, and looked at the maidservant who jumped down, who was it if it wasn't the one whose nostrils were upturned that day?
Turning around and speaking to Liang Hongjin, Wen Mingtang walked to the carriage and called "Sister".
His attitude was gentle and calm, as if the pursuit and killing he encountered after seeing her that day when he went back did not exist at all.
The servant girl glanced at her. Compared with the disdain that day, there was a trace of vigilance in her eyes, presumably she knew that she had "escaped a catastrophe".
Because of this trace of vigilance, the maid coughed, looked at her, and said, "Miss Wen, please get in the carriage and talk."
Huh? He actually called her "Miss Wen", and even used the word "please".
Such respect...Wen Mingtang smiled at her: It turns out that some people's respect is earned in this way.
Looking back at Liang Hongjin who hadn't left yet, Liang Hongjin rubbed her hands, her knuckles creaked, stared at the maidservant with majestic eyes, and said with a sneer, "Xiao Mingtang, I'll wait for you here .”
The servant girl shuddered immediately after listening to this harsh words, and immediately shrank her head and moved aside like a quail.
Today's reaction is really the same as that day, as if he was not alone.
Wen Mingtang glanced at her and stepped into the carriage.
The curtains and windows of the carriage were closed, and Wen Mingtang felt a little uncomfortable when he stepped into it from the bright place outside, so he raised his hand and instinctively opened the nearby window.
In broad daylight, sunlight came in from the car window and fell on the face of the woman sitting in the carriage.
The peony-like cheek was swollen high on one side, which looked inexplicably funny.
Wen Mingtang's eyes fell on the swollen side of Wen Xiutang's face, and after Wen Xiutang hurriedly closed the window to block the sunlight from outside, she said slowly, "Sister's face seems to be swollen! Did someone hit you?"
His eyes adapted to the dim light coming in through the car curtain, and he could see the expression on Wen Xiutang's face clearly.
She was ashamed and angry, and shouted: "What nonsense? I just accidentally fell!"
I fell down! Wen Mingtang let out an "oh", paused, and said, "Sister, get your eggs out of your face!"
While saying "Oh", and at the same time explaining the way to deal with being slapped, Wen Xiutang only felt that the side of her face that was not slapped seemed to be puffing up in her slow words, and couldn't help it. He glared at Wen Mingtang angrily.
Facing this angry look, Wen Mingtang spread his hands and said, "Why are you looking at me, sister? It's like I hit sister!"
Who else can make the proud and arrogant Wen Xiutang stay silent after being slapped, besides King Yu?
I think the dead man did not deal with Wen Mingtang, but died for no reason. All this made King Yu feel angry, so he vented his anger on Wen Xiutang.
Wen Xiutang looked at Wen Mingtang with an innocent face, and thought of King Yu's confession, temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart, looked at Wen Mingtang, and said, "Last time when I went back to my place, I heard that someone was chasing you in the street?"
Wen Mingtang nodded, and said: "There are such villains, but I happened to meet the officials of Dali Temple and saved me from disaster."
This is not wrong, Lin Fei helped a lot in it, and Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu also helped her block it, allowing her to deal with a dead man smoothly.
Wen Xiutang said: "Then you are lucky, if... I am afraid you will suffer!"
Wen Xiutang said: "In a few days, I will be invited by the nobleman to go to Mount Li when I have time. There is also a hot spring in the nobleman's villa, soaking in it is good for the body, so I will ask you if you have time, and come with me. go!"
Seeing Wen Xiutang's serious face, Wen Mingtang almost didn't laugh, but he held back his smile, looked at Wen Xiutang, and said, "Sister usually goes to the nobleman's village to soak in the hot spring when she finds a good sister to play with? Sis, do I look like a cook who is waiting to go to the noble man's villa and soak in the hot spring?"
Wen Xiutang has been at the head of the Sule Jiaofang for a long time. Do you think that everyone in this world spends their free time going to Youzhuang to soak in hot springs?
"Sister has stayed in high places for a long time, and has not descended to the mortal world for a long time. She probably forgot that ordinary people don't play these things." Wen Mingtang said slowly.
Being poked back by Wen Mingtang's soft nail, Wen Xiutang's face turned blue and red, and she was a little unable to get off the stage, but because of what King Yu confessed, she could only resist the urge to drive Wen Mingtang out, and said: "I have inquired, In a few days, you will rest in the public kitchen, and then I will pick you up again."
Wen Mingtang paused suddenly when the words that were about to speak fell on Wen Xiutang's sullen face, his eyes flashed, and he jumped off the carriage without agreeing or not.
When Wen Mingtang got out of the carriage, the maidservant outside with a pale face immediately jumped into the carriage, and the driver beside him hurriedly sat on it, flicked his whip, and the carriage ran away without looking back.
After Wen Xiutang and his group left in a hurry, Wen Mingtang looked at Liang Hongjin who was eating mung bean cake: "What did General Liang do just now? Look at that maidservant's face turning pale."
Liang Hongjin waved her fist and said, "Just to scare her!" After a pause, she swallowed the mung bean cake in her mouth and asked Wen Mingtang, "What did you say to the person in the carriage who got slapped again?"
Wen Mingtang said: "My sister of the family wants to take up my rare holiday without saying anything, it is really hateful!"
Liang Hongjin had a deep understanding of this. Hearing this, she rolled her eyes and said, "Why do you care about her?"
"I think so too," Wen Mingtang nodded, paused, and then said, "However, she knows my affairs so well, there are two people who should settle their old scores."
…
…
Master Wang sneaked into the yard and called out, "Master Wen?"
No response.
Very good! Then he knew that the girl surnamed Wen was not in the yard and went out.
He walked over carefully, and when he was about to take out the wire to open the window, he found that the door of the house was ajar and unlocked.
You're quite careless! Do you think there will be no thieves in Dali Temple?
Master Wang put away the wire that was used to pry the window, snorted coldly, and carefully pushed the door open and walked in.
There is nothing valuable in the house, after all, food, clothing and housing are all in Dali Temple, that's all. He didn't come to steal valuables, he was really eyeing...
At a glance, I saw a few sealed sauce cans in the corner. Master Wang walked over, picked up the sauce cans, opened them and smelled them, nodded, and said: That's the smell!
Although he and Sun Dingren want to save face and have never eaten the food made by that girl, they have secretly observed it many times.
This girl surnamed Wen has a lot of tricks in her hands, and it is a bit difficult to learn. But this unique sauce can turn it into something that can be found all over the street.
Re-sealed the sauce, and Master Wang secretly walked out of the yard holding the jar.
The whole process was so smooth that I didn't even see a person. It couldn't be more smooth.
After Master Wang left, Ah Bing crawled out from under the bed, wiped off the hot sweat that had been hidden for a long time, and couldn't help muttering: "Master Wang is so embarrassing! He actually worked as a burglar in Dali Temple." Come on, even the sauce is going to be stolen!"
