In the evening, Zhu Yanli came to the door and told Shi Chu embarrassedly that he could no longer help her sell buns in the past few days because he had something to do.
Shichu understood very well and told him: "You don't have to feel sorry for not being able to help me. Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated you on passing the exam. I'm just waiting for you to be named on the gold list. By the way, I won't bother you in the future." Help, if I delay your study, then I will be guilty."
Zhu Yanli blushed and said: "I appreciate your words, but I can help you if I am free in the future. If you have anything, you can come to me..."
"Okay, I won't be polite." Shichu said with a smile, "I hope you will be a high official and protect me from now on!"
When Zhu Yanli heard this, he waved his hands in embarrassment and said that Shi Chu had been rewarded because he did not become a high official so quickly and might disappoint her...
At first I couldn't stop laughing, I just thought why is this little scholar so serious? The way he refutes his own words seriously is too cute.
It's a pity that the cute little scholar, oh no, he is a little scholar now. After a few days of socializing, he had to go to the academy again. He left early and came back late every day, and he was not seen for ten days and a half. He once.
At the beginning, it was a pity that I didn't figure out the name of the storybook he wrote earlier, which was a lot less fun.
As time goes by, the scars on Shi Chu's face have become more and more obvious. If you don't look closely at it, ordinary people can't see the blemishes on her face at all. However, if you want to completely eliminate it, you have to continue to wipe half of it. Months of medicine, but now when I go out to sell steamed buns, my face is no longer covered.
At first, the customers were shocked when they saw her face uncovered, but they soon stopped paying attention. After all, they preferred the buns made by Shi Chu, and the security in the capital was pretty good, and there would be no chaos such as robbing people. Of course, if something happened to a girl, if any dandy didn't have the foresight to steal Shichu, then Shichu would definitely not be the one who was robbed.
After Shi Chu regained her original appearance, she later became known as "Baozi Xishi". I don't know from which day onwards, those customers who came to buy buns shouted to Shi Chu: "Baozi Xishi, give me two pieces of meat." Bao...", "Baozi Xishi, what's wrong with Baozi today?"
When she first heard someone calling her that, she was shocked and retorted several times. She didn't want this shameful title, but the customers just laughed and said she was pretty and sold steamed buns. , what’s wrong with calling Baozi Xishi? If she sells tofu, then they call her Tofu Xishi...
Shi Chu's retort was fruitless, so she had to let them shout. However, after the title spread, her business became better, and some people came specially to see how beautiful the bun Xishi was and to buy another bun by the way. So Shi Chu She can finish work early every day, so she doesn't mind being given this shameful title.
The epidemic in the capital has long been solved by the prescriptions developed by the imperial doctors. The tension caused by the epidemic has long since disappeared, and the capital has returned to peace.
But under this calm, there are still turbulent waves invisible to ordinary people, especially the masters in the palace, who are fighting to the death in private. The two informant letters about the fourth prince and Zhang Qishan that Shi Chu had thrown in before finally came to light. With the purpose, the struggle between several princes has become fierce. Even if the emperor wants to pretend that he is unaware of the struggle of his sons, it is impossible to pretend to be deaf and mute or deceive himself.
Within a few days, the atmosphere in the capital became tense again. It was almost noisy. There were fewer passers-by walking on the streets. Shichu simply took a few days off and stopped selling buns. However, she had been paying attention to what was going on in the palace. .
She didn't care which prince was scolded by the emperor or which prince was praised. She only cared about whether Zhang Qishan was implicated and became cannon fodder.
He and Gui Yun came to treat the original owner as a slave who could be rounded or flattened at will, and could be killed if they wanted. Now it was time for them to let themselves be treated like fish and meat.
At the beginning, I was convinced that only by personally experiencing the pain of the victim could we retaliate against the perpetrator.
The fourth prince originally wanted to be the oriole behind the mantis catching the cicada, or the fisherman competing with the snipe and clam for the fisherman's profit. Unfortunately, Shi Chu lifted the chessboard, and he was suddenly exposed in front of everyone. It turned out that he had previously He acted like he didn't fight or grab, and he kept to himself, but he was actually more bold than his brothers in private - he actually dared to hide a gold mine secretly! Is this a proper preparation to usurp the throne?
Moreover, after investigation, it was found that two-thirds of the gold that the Fourth Prince had obtained from the gold mines in recent years was missing. Such a large amount of money was still missing, and he refused to explain it. This made people doubt him. Not only did he hide gold mines secretly, but he also raised private soldiers.
The emperor was furious and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to conduct a strict investigation. The fourth prince and related persons have been detained - including the Anding Marquis Mansion.
When he learned that the Anding family was in jail, he was very happy at the beginning. He even specially brought a bottle of good wine that he had collected in his own space and brought the young scholar next door to drink with him.
The little scholar was pulled over by her inexplicably and said he was celebrating with a drink. He didn't know what he was celebrating at the beginning, so he asked: "Mrs. Du, what are you celebrating? What makes you so happy?"
Shichu smiled with crooked eyebrows and said, "My enemy is in prison and my great revenge has been avenged. I am happy."
The young scholar was a little surprised, obviously he did not expect this reason, but at this time he was happy, so he was not disappointed and said: "So that's it. It's really time to celebrate. Congratulations to Mrs. Du for getting her revenge."
"Hehe, thank you, thank you, come on, have a drink. I have been collecting this wine for many years. You will definitely like it." Shichu poured the wine for him, and the rich aroma of the wine immediately wafted out.
Zhu Yanli's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he didn't drink often, he had drunk a few good wines that were secretly brought to the academy by a few classmates from well-off families. However, the good wines brought by his classmates were not as good as the bottle that Shichu brought out now. .
"Mrs. Du, what kind of wine is yours? It smells so good." Zhu Yanli asked with bright eyes. He was even more surprised when he looked at the clear and transparent wine in the wine glass. Although today's wine-making skills are very advanced, he has never seen it before. With such clear wine, no matter how mellow the wine is, there are always some impurities. Therefore, when Zhu Yanli saw the liquid in the wine glass, which was as clear as morning dew, he couldn't keep calm.
"This is Baihua Brewing. Do you smell the fragrance of flowers?" Shichu said with a smile, extremely proud. She had hidden this bottle of wine in space for many years, and the elves in a certain world brewed it for her. Can it not be clear and fragrant?
"As expected... Madam Du, I am really lucky to be able to drink such good wine today..." Zhu Yanli said happily.
