"Miss, it is said that the person who snatched the hydrangea was a young and handsome scholar, and he was accompanied by three servants in brocade clothes..."
Although Mrs. Sun is over forty years old, Mrs. Sun, who was brought from her natal family, still habitually calls her Miss.
Hearing the old servant's addition, Cheng Yaojin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately lifted it up again, his eyes a little evasive.
"Even the servants are wearing brocade clothes. So, that young man's family background is not bad. He is probably a young man from a noble family. If this matter really comes to pass, it will not be too humiliating to Ying'er... "
Mrs. Sun couldn't help but have a smile on her face. She carefully inquired about the guards who were present at the time, and heard that the young man was extremely handsome, and he also brought three extraordinary old servants with him. Even the servants were dressed in brocade. He must have a good family background, and most importantly, he seemed to be a scholar. .
That’s great, as it saves people from worrying about wielding swords and guns all day long!
"I'm afraid that someone already has a family, and we, the daughter of the old Cheng family, can't do it for someone else..."
When she thought of someone snatching the hydrangeas and running away, Mrs. Sun couldn't help but worry about gains and losses, with a trace of worry on her face.
"Impossible, that guy is single! Madam, don't worry..."
Cheng Yaojin comforted without thinking.
"Old man, do you know that young man?"
Mrs. Sun couldn't help but feel happy, looking at her old man hopefully.
"Of course you - uh - you don't know me..."
Cheng Yaojin wiped the cold sweat from his head and almost spilled the beans. If his wife knew that not only did she not catch that brat, but she even had a drink with him as a brother-in-law, she would probably have to sleep in the study again tonight...
"But - Madam, don't worry, that brat will definitely not be able to escape. I will catch you back sooner or later!"
After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he waved his fist fiercely.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What can't be arrested? We are a dignified government, not the wife of the Wagang Village who grabbed the village back then..."
As Mrs. Sun spoke, she couldn't help but laugh.
"However, as a father, you must be serious and find that young man quickly. If he is equally talented and handsome, I will be relieved of my worries."
"Okay, okay, madam, don't worry, I'll catch him for you soon - cough - please come back!"
After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he squeezed his wife's shoulders with a flattering look on his face and quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, madam, where are those two bastards Chu Mo and Chu Liang? Why didn't I see them today?"
"I secretly took someone to find the young man who stole the hydrangea. He said he had to break his legs. I couldn't stop him, but don't let anything happen. You have to talk to them later..."
Cheng Yaojin:......
"Madam is right, madam is right, I must talk about them."
After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he turned around and gave instructions.
"Come on, come on! Go and catch those two bastards. If you dare to go out again, break their legs!"
After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
As for my two sons, they would probably be no match for that bastard. Now they can only pray that they can't find that bastard, otherwise they will have to prepare crutches for those two bastards in advance.
"Old man, are you hot?"
"It's not hot, it's not hot—"
Cheng Yaojin quickly shook his head, smiled and pinched his wife's shoulders.
"Madam, I'm going to treat you to something fresh today. Let me tell you, you've never tasted it before. It's really a delicacy on earth -"
"Okay, okay, okay - I'm waiting for your delicacies..."
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was in high spirits, Mrs. Sun agreed with a smile. In recent years, her appetite has become worse and worse.
With his wife's approval, Cheng Yaojin became even more excited.
He personally directed his subordinates to get organized.
The dishes came from Wang Zi'an, and the pot came from Wang Zi'an.
Ginger, onion, star anise, jujube, wolfberry, large bones, plus half a carrot.
This is the secret recipe obtained in exchange for the jade pendant on the waist.
When his wife sat down, Cheng Yaojin held out a medium-sized ceramic jar with an expression of offering treasures.
"Madam, there is a mysterious seasoning here. Just add a little bit to make the soup more delicious."
Haha - that brat, damn it, is not willing to give it to me. Is it really as easy to get as my jade pendant?
Thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin smiled proudly.
This is definitely good stuff!
But I saw it clearly last night. That bastard just put a little bit into the soup base, and the soup base became extremely delicious and spicy. He wanted to release more, but the boy was reluctant and said he couldn't release more!
Do you really think I am stupid?
What a wishful thinking!
I eat more salt than you eat rice!
Haha - this time, I can put as much as I want!
When he thought of that brat, how distressed he was when he found out that this jar of treasure was lost, Lao Cheng felt a sense of revenge in his heart.
Wow - it poured into a small jar.
Half of the base suddenly turned into red chili sauce...
"Madam, you are not in good health. Eat something lighter here. I will eat something here -"
Cheng Yaojin considerately picked up a chopstick of mutton for his wife, dipped it in the dipping sauce and handed it over. Seeing the lady's face carefully put it into her mouth, and then instantly showed a look of surprise and satisfaction, I was immediately relieved.
"It's a pity that Madam is weak and can't eat spicy food for the time being. She can only watch my husband eat it."
Thinking of yesterday's delicious food, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
That bastard only put a little bit, and it was already so delicious. If I put so much, wouldn’t it make it look so delicious?
Thinking of this, he stretched out his chopsticks and said happily
I picked up a large piece of mutton with chopsticks and stuffed it into my mouth eagerly!
"Uh-ah-"
At noon that day, the master of Cheng Mansion let out a scream.
The guards who came after hearing the news were driven back mercilessly by their master before they even entered the hall.
However, according to the wife's personal mother-in-law, she said that her husband might have been poisoned by some kind of poison, and his mouth was swollen into a duck's mouth...
Liangyi Hall, Imperial Study Room.
Li Shimin, who had just finished handling government affairs, pinched his brows tiredly, sat on the dragon chair, looked at the banner he had written overnight, and chanted softly.
"Don't you see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, and rushes to the sea never to return. Don't you see, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and it looks like blue silk in the morning and turns to snow in the evening..."
"Who is this Wang Zi'an?"
After returning to the palace yesterday, he issued an order as soon as possible, ordering the Ministry of War to expedite eight hundred miles and immediately set off to Mobei to verify the Turkic situation. At the same time, he asked Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to send a survey of Chang'an's prices overnight.
The situation in Mobei is expected to take some time to come, but since the beginning of winter, the rise in prices in Chang'an has been shocking.
