Chapter 175 Didn't become a **** in charge, but just wanted to play the official role?
There are many wine shops in Xianyang City, and there are only three or two that Cui Wenzi often goes to.
Gao Yao led Yi Xiaochuan straight to the north of the city, beat two families in a row, and finally found the drunk Miracle Doctor Cui in a simple wine shop built by thatched sheds.
The sky was getting dark and the restaurant was about to close. Gao Yao helped Cui Wenzi pay for the sake with a helpless face, while Yi Xiaochuan shook Cui Wenzi's shoulder trying to wake him up.
The owner of the wine shop weighed the money in his hand, saw Yi Xiaochuan's actions, and complained: "Guest officer, it's better not to waste your energy, this old man has been drinking since noon and now, I'm afraid he has been unconscious for a long time."
Gao Yao walked to the table, and the strong smell of alcohol rushed towards him. He couldn't help covering his nose with his head, fanned his sleeves, and said helplessly, "Then take Miracle Doctor Cui back first, and tell him about Ye Mingzhu when he wakes up tomorrow." .”
After finishing speaking, he looked at the boss, stuffed a dime of silver into his hand, and said kindly: "Can I trouble the shopkeeper to help us find a carriage?"
"Boss Gao, we are running a small business here. Where can we find a carriage?" The boss scratched his head in embarrassment. "We have a cart for pulling goods in our backyard. Do you think it will work?"
Gao Yao frowned slightly, and then stretched out: "Then I will trouble you to go to the first floor of the world, and tell that the shopkeeper and Mr. Yi are here, and ask them to bring a carriage over."
Cui Wenzi's eyelids were clenched, his drunken eyes narrowed a slit, looking at the people in front of him, he grabbed the wine pot beside him, and was about to pour it into his mouth after shaking it.
Yi Xiaochuan hurriedly snatched the jug, and said helplessly, "Master Cui, don't drink it, I have business to see you."
"Business? What business is so important as drinking?" Cui Wenzi chuckled, instead of grabbing the flagon in Yi Xiaochuan's hand, he opened the gourd at his waist and drank it.
"The prescription you wrote for us, we have already collected all the medicinal materials on it, and we have also got the night pearl donated by the Tu'an tribe." Gao Yao knelt down and reached out to **** Cui Wenzi's wine gourd, but he didn't Thinking of how strong this old man is, he didn't even take one hand away.
Just when he was about to push harder, Cui Wenzi let go of his hand suddenly, and Gao Yao, who was unsteady, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and the wooden box clamped by his side fell off.
The Ye Mingzhu, which was blooming with a quiet green glow, rolled between the two, and was picked up by Cui Wenzi.
"Hey~ It's really this one." Cui Wenzi turned his head to look at Yi Xiaochuan, with a red rosacea nose, and said with a smile: "This is what Mr. Yi stole from the palace?"
After speaking, he noticed that Yi Xiaochuan's expression was wrong, most of the drunkenness in his eyes dissipated immediately, he turned his head to look at Gao Yao, only to see Gao Yao said with a proud face: "Master Cui can pinch and calculate normally, but this time it is wrong, right? I don't steal or **** a luminous pearl, it was given to me by His Majesty."
‘Shouldn’t it? '
Cui Wenzi sat up, staring at the round bead in his hand, silent for a long time, his whole body slumped down again, and said indifferently: "We have known each other for two or three years anyway, I don't know about you? Your Majesty Reward you? If it's Mr. Zhou, I can trust you somewhat."
"Hey! This is all due to me alone, and it has nothing to do with Zhou Ji~" Gao Yao said anxiously, "Your Majesty visited me in private, and I relied on two big spoons to eat a table of good dishes so that he would be obedient. Chasing to give me the Ye Mingzhu, Zhou Jilu never showed up the whole time."
Even so, Cui Wenzi didn't believe it at all.
With His Majesty's domineering and domineering, seeing the plaque of "No. 1 Building in the World" and having tasted Gao Yao's unique cooking skills, he will only order the restaurant to be demolished and the cook arrested.
If Zhou Ji hadn’t made a secret move, let alone Ye Mingzhu, Gao Yao would have been arrested and taken to the cleansing room to enjoy the same treatment as Yi Xiaochuan.
"Forget it, the bead has been found anyway, how to get it is not very important." Yi Xiaochuan couldn't figure out these things. After all, I felt a little uncomfortable, and interrupted the other party with a wave of my hand, and asked Cui Wenzi: "Master Cui, when will you be able to prepare the medicine for us, Xiaoyue can't delay it."
Cui Wenzi casually threw the beads into the wooden box, picked up the gourd in Gao Yao's arms, and said casually, "Don't worry, it will be made tomorrow, tomorrow."
At this moment, the carriage of the restaurant has already parked outside the gate, Gao Yao first sent Cui Wenzi back to the restaurant, settled him in a room, then sent Yi Xiaochuan outside the gate of the palace, and made an appointment to meet at the restaurant tomorrow.
The gates of the palace are heavy and the towers are towering.
The moonlight that reflects the night like day cannot penetrate the long corridor, the moment he stepped into the palace gate, Yi Xiaochuan looked at the dark and deep corridor and suddenly turned his head to look at Gao Yao.
On the spacious and empty central axis avenue, the carriage gallops freely, and you can faintly hear the "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond" with Gao Yao's tune tuned to a hundred and eight thousand miles.
Yi Xiaochuan stood there in a daze, half of his body was bathed in the moonlight like daytime, and half of his body stood in the shadow of the palace gate, even he himself didn't know what he was thinking.
The gate of the palace closed slowly, and the moonlight originally shining on half of the body continued to shrink from both sides, and finally fell into silence and darkness.
Yi Xiaochuan turned around, and there was light at the end of the corridor of the palace gate.
It is obviously the same sky and the same bright moon.
But at the moment when the darkness re-entered the light, from the moonlight in the palace, I felt a bit of coldness.
Passing through the gates of the Daoyuan, walking through the long corridors, and passing the side hall where Yushu is located, Yi Xiaochuan glanced in by accident. The pool in front of the hall is still desolate, and on the floating platform in the center, a familiar figure looks Standing solemnly under the moon, bowing your head and praying.
As if aware of the prying eyes, Yu Shu raised his eyes subconsciously and happened to see the back of a young **** passing by the corridor.
Yu Shu frowned slightly, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
It is really not easy for a court lady to go out of the palace. The last time Xiaoyue was able to go out was because of a new injury on her face and a handwritten letter from the Imperial Medical Office. Even so, it almost exhausted all the contacts Yi Xiaochuan could accumulate as a low-level eunuch.
If he wants to take her out of the palace again, for Yi Xiaochuan, he can only climb to a high position and become the chief eunuch.
However, for Gao Yao, these became a piece of cake.
Perhaps His Majesty paid too much attention to the culinary skills of this 'No. 1 Chef in the World', so he sent a team of imperial chefs to learn the skills the next morning. Orally ordered everyone to obey Gao Yao's dispatch.
Regarding this, Yi Xiaochuan couldn't help but Gao Yao himself was a little surprised.
Cui Wenzi, who prepared the medicine, heard the movement outside the hospital, but was convinced of his guess.
Inside the palace.
The attendant leaned over and saluted: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Eunuch Xiao from the Zhanglv Palace and the unknown chef from the Imperial Dining Room have both arrived at the restaurant."
"Tell the people below, and let me be smarter. What is that high-ranking? Gao Yao? Try to fulfill his orders, but if someone bullies Gao Yao by virtue of his status, I will destroy him!" Ying Zheng said in a flat tone. Those words sent chills down the servant's back.
The attendant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, before the servant left, Boss Gao made a request, saying that he wanted to transfer a maid from the weaving and embroidery workshop."
"Lady?" Ying Zheng paused for a moment, and continued to review the memorial, "What maid?"
"I heard that Xiaoyue from the Weaving and Embroidery Workshop was brought into the palace when she died in Chu. Except for being good friends with Mrs. Xiaochuan from the Household Registration Hall, she has never had any contact with outsiders." The servant replied.
It has been six years since Chu was destroyed. This court lady named Xiaoyue is the widow of Chu?
Does that mean that Zhou Ji is also from Chu?
Ying Zheng frowned slightly, put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Why did he transfer this maid, did you ask why?"
"Maybe it's because this court lady was injured recently?" The valet broke out in a cold sweat, and reported all the things he investigated to His Majesty.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Cui Wenzi was crushing Ye Mingzhu in front of them to make medicine.
Whether it is Ye Mingzhu or the relationship between Zhou Ji, Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan, there is nothing to hide.
Ying Zheng listened to the servant's narration, his brows relaxed and said: "After Yi Xiaochuan returned to the palace, he was promoted to the supervisor and transferred to serve in front of the palace. As for the maid named Xiaoyue, if Gao Yao wants it, send it to him. , and by the way find out what is the relationship between her and these three people."
What is soaring into the sky? This is called soaring into the sky.
Why don’t I have such a fellow countryman?
When the servant heard that Yi Xiaochuan could be directly promoted to the supervisor in an instant just by the news of Gaoyao's fellow countryman, and he was able to come to the front of the palace and become a close minister of the emperor, he was filled with jealousy and fear.
Immediately leaned over and said hello, exited the hall step by step, and told the servants to send Xiaoyue out of the palace.
Xiaoyue was also ignorant, she didn't know what happened at all, she put on her veil in a hurry, and was taken out of the weaving and embroidery workshop under the suspicious eyes of other sisters, and walked towards the restaurant in a daze.
That day, I was carried by Yi Xiaochuan on his back and ran all the way along the streets. Now I walk again, but I feel inexplicably familiar, so I can't hold back my doubts, and weakly ask the **** in charge, "My lord, we Where is this going?"
"A restaurant in Tiandong City."
The title of No. 1 in the world is indeed domineering. In this era, how dare the little **** pronounce the full name of the restaurant, said something vaguely, and turned his head to look at this "lucky" girl. The blue and gray scars not only ruined the original beauty of the other party, but also caused an inexplicable discomfort after looking at it for a long time.
The little **** turned his head away, and asked curiously: "Miss Xiaoyue, do you know some important people?"
Xiaoyue noticed the other party's dodging gaze, and felt bitter in her heart.
Ever since she was burned by the so-called 'gunpowder' that day, everyone looked at her with different eyes, some with pity, some with sarcasm, and some with disgust. These eyes were like knives, cutting her heart to pieces. , dripping with blood.
Even if you are trying to adapt, how can you adapt to some things easily?
Shaking her head, Xiaoyue was a little depressed and said: "I have been in the palace for six years, and I have always been in the weaving and embroidery workshop. The biggest official I have ever seen is our supervisor. How do I know any important people?"
Walking through the market in the east of the city, Xiaoyue became more and more familiar with her, until she walked into the restaurant and suddenly realized it.
Isn’t this the place where the little father-in-law brought me here for treatment?
Thinking of this, Xiaoyue raised her eyes and looked around, and at a glance, she saw two figures with different expressions walking towards her hurriedly.
Seeing Xiaoyue again after many days, Gao Yao's eyes suddenly turned red, especially when he saw the two blue and gray shadows covered by the tulle, he felt so distressed that he wanted to cry.
Speaking of which, Xiaoyue hasn't seen Yi Xiaochuan for a long time.
These days, she has been avoiding Yi Xiaochuan, not wanting him to see her current appearance.
Now seeing Yi Xiaochuan again, I can't help but feel a little complicated.
"Xiaogong." Halfway through speaking, Xiaoyue realized, and quickly changed her words: "Mr. Yi, did you transfer me out of the palace?"
Yi Xiaochuan shook his head, glanced at Gao Yao next to him and said: "It was Lao Gao who asked His Majesty to transfer you outside the palace. You can stay outside the palace for treatment for the next few days, and then do the next job after your injury recovers." further consideration."
"Heal the wound? Did you find the medicine for the wound? Can my face recover?" Xiaoyue burst into tears when she heard Yi Xiaochuan's words, and her tone was still a bit unsure.
Gao Yao looked at the pear-blossoming Xiaoyue, and couldn't help feeling a bit of sadness in his heart, and said with relief: "I've known Dr. Cui for several years. He seems to be drunk all day long, but he never talks nonsense in terms of medical skills. If he says he can cure it, he will be cured, even if he says he can make the elixir of life, I believe he can make it."
Xiaoyue took a weak step back and hesitated, "Hearing what Boss Gao said, Xiaoyue can't believe it."
"You'll know if it's useful or not after trying it. Miracle doctor Cui has almost prepared the medicine right now, so let's go over and have a look." Gao Yao glanced at the accompanying **** standing quietly beside him, and said with his forehead: "No Sorry, my lord, I will neglect your lord in the next moment of excitement, this journey has been hard, I trouble you to go all the way."
Gao Yao took out a few gold leaves from his bosom and stuffed them into the hand of the accompanying eunuch, but the accompanying **** refused to accept them three times before finally reluctantly accepted the leaves and left.
After all, he is the emperor's close servant, so Gao Yao didn't dare to be too disrespectful. Seeing the other party leave, he turned to Xiao Chuan and said, "Xiao Chuan, I'll send this lord off. You first take Xiao Yue to the backyard to apply the medicine."
As soon as the voice fell, the accompanying **** froze in his footsteps, and looked at Yi Xiaochuan with surprise on his face, "Is this Mr. Xiaochuan from the household registration hall?"
As soon as this remark came out, Yi Xiaochuan's face was pale and red and green, as if he had knocked over the paint pot, mixed with shame and indignation, and finally turned dark purple, he looked at the accompanying **** coldly, without saying a word.
The accompanying **** was taken aback by Yi Xiaochuan's murderous gaze, and the words of "congratulations" to the other party's promotion suddenly stopped, and he was even more puzzled in his heart: Good guy, this is not a **** in charge yet, he has started playing tricks Prestige?
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Gao Yao hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, sending the accompanying eunuchs out of the house, and put on several gold leaves before leaving.
