Within a moment, everyone drank all the porridge in the bowl, and they all felt a little unsatisfied, and they all looked at Xue Ying differently.Originally, I thought that it was really cumbersome and inconvenient for Li Wei to travel with a weak woman like Xue Ying, but I didn't expect her cooking skills to be extraordinary and have the ability to turn decay into magic.In this way, there is no need to worry about eating along the way.Because Xue Ying was the only woman in the group, she was assigned a separate hall, and she found a dry place in the hall to put straw on, planning to lie down and sleep for a while.But this room is really dilapidated, the autumn wind gusts to the ears, and occasionally a little drizzle drifts over, Xue Ying feels that her limbs are almost numb from freezing, and she really can't sleep.So he got up and went to the eaves and lit a small pile of firewood to keep warm.It didn't take long for a tall figure to come into view, and it turned out that Levi didn't come out asleep either.He asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you sleep so late?"
”The author has something to say: Tomorrow this article will be in V, thank you for your continued attention and support.Time flies so fast, and it has been more than half a year since I came to Jinjiang to write articles.What is my original intention?
,Probably from a dream in my youth.,To write a novel for your favorite historical figures.,So there's "Wear to the Northern Song Dynasty to Change the Law in Those Years", there is no doubt that it is a work that I have paid the most effort for, and I checked the historical materials for half a year, but it is not a qualified online article.After finishing two novels, I slowly realized that a good online essay should be committed to telling a good story, and the character, plot, and rhythm are all very important.The author can be private or emotional, but all this must be based on telling a good story.By this standard, my eldest girl is undoubtedly unqualified.To this day, I am still a street writer in Jinjiang, but I am willing to work hard little by little to attract readers to the stories I have weaved.Thank you again for your continued efforts.By the way, I will push my pre-received text: "Jade Man Comes (Rebirth)", the copywriting is as follows: In the last life, Xie Yao married Sima Yujun, who was in power for a while, and was favored.Who knew that once the city was broken, she was scolded as a disaster, and Yu Jun forced her to commit suicide.In this life, Xie Yao only has three wishes: wish one: no longer have any entanglement with Yu Jun.Yu Jun: I was wrong, I can't change it in my first life?
Wish 2: Fall in love with Bai Yueguang Xiao Cheng.Xiao Cheng: Actually, I have always wanted to say to you that you are a ray of light in my darkness.Wish 3: Live well and avoid the tragedy of the country's ruin and family's ruin, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, Wang Huanqi: You just need to hold my thigh tightly.Seeing Xie Yao's nymphomaniac look at Xiao Cheng, who was beautiful in the eyes of the world, Huan Jue let out a sneer: Xie Sanniang values men's skins so much?
Xie Yao saw Huan Jue's cold gaze and felt a pang in his heart: No, in fact, the concubine is more interested in the connotation of men.Huan Jue then took off the lacquer sarong on his head and sat down: I just win with connotation, do you think I still have a chance?
Reading guide: 1.
Overhead Wei and Jin, don't study the evidence.2.
The author Wei Jinmei is male control, there are more male roles, Su Shuangwen, and the ending He.Chapter 25, 26, 27 Chapter 25 Xue Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "It's a little cold, come out and bake the fire." ”Levi handed her the kettle in his hand, "Drink some hot drinks." ”Xue Ying hurriedly excused himself: "Ah Lang keep it for himself to drink, the maid is much warmer now." ”Li Wei was silent, his hand was not taken back, Xue Ying fully understood his stubbornness, so he had to take the kettle and take a sip."
It turned out to be a spleen drink!"
Xue Ying was a little surprised, the spleen shrinking drink is made of black plum and licorice, the entrance is sour and sweet, the most can clear the lungs and quench thirst, strengthen the spleen and neutralize.It's just that she has committed occupational disease again now, and blurted out: "It's just that the amount of spleen and sand kernels seems to be more, and the taste is slightly astringent." ”As soon as the words came out, Xue Ying regretted a little, with Li Wei's temperament, it was already extra graceful to be able to share the drink for himself, and he was still picking and choosing here, which was simply taking the initiative to provoke trouble.Xue Ying was about to explain something, but Li Wei said lightly: "In this case, Xue Niangzi will personally make a spleen shrinking drink after returning home." ”He didn't get angry, this was really a surprise, Xue Ying hurriedly agreed.At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and with a slight drizzle, the fire under the eaves was visibly dimmed, and it was about to be extinguished."
Oh, no."
Xue Ying hurriedly added firewood to fan the fire, but saw Li Wei walking quickly down the eaves and shielding himself from the wind and rain outside.At this time, he and Xue Ying were extremely close, and there was a faint fragrance of sinking water sent by the autumn wind.Xue Ying was stunned for no reason, and then said with a smile: "Thanks to Ah Lang for blocking this torrential rain, otherwise this fire would have been extinguished." ”Xue Ying really didn't expect that she and Li Wei would have this kind of situation, and there were fewer constraints in the countryside, and she sighed at the moment: "Actually, I don't like the autumn rain in the north very much, it always gives people a sense of desolation and desolation.I like the rain in Shu, even in winter, it is soft and warm.I remember when it rained, the scent of plum blossoms was exceptionally good. ”Levi was silent for a moment and said, "It seems that you have been to many places. ”Xue Ying smiled: "I didn't come to Bianjing until I was ten years old, and before that, my father and I had already traveled all over Shuzhong, and we had also been to Jiangning and Suzhou and Hangzhou.What about Ah Lang?
”Li Wei coughed and said: "Except for Bianjing, I have only been to Cheng'an, and I have served there for three years. ”Xue Ying thought to herself: This is really a very boring resume.Li Wei seemed to know what she was thinking, and said casually: "After I was sixteen years old, I was awarded the Dali Temple by the first emperor, and after the first emperor died, I served in Cheng'an for three years, and then I have been serving as a Beijing official. ”At the age of twenty-two, he was appointed as a judge of salt and iron, at the age of twenty-four, he was appointed as a scholar of Shangshu Yu and a privy councilor, and at the age of twenty-six, he was known as a scholar of Kaifeng Mansion with the right of a bachelor of Hanlin.It is said that it was because the first emperor appreciated his talent very much and appointed him as a role model, so his career was destined to be smooth.Xue Ying also felt that Li Wei's experience was definitely an anomaly in the national dynasty, and she was just about to ask something curiously, when suddenly her nose itched, and she couldn't help sneezing.Levi frowned and looked at her: "It's late, you have to hurry tomorrow, you should go back and rest quickly." ”Xue Ying had no choice but to hold back the gossip and get up to prepare to go back to the side hall, but heard Li Wei say behind his back: "If you feel cold, there is a quilt on the carriage that you can take and use." ”Xue Ying hurriedly excused himself: "It was prepared for Ah Lang, the maid has always been in good health, and it will pass after staying up all night." ”Li Wei glanced at her and said lightly: "If you catch a cold tomorrow, I won't have time to ask you for a doctor along the way." ”Xue Ying pouted secretly, he could always talk about the topic to death, this was probably his natural ability.In this case, you don't have to be polite, or the body is the most important.She went to the carriage to get a quilt as she said, and finally slept peacefully until dawn.He Bing was very effective, and the simple stone bridge was erected early the next morning, and a group of people and horses could finally pass smoothly, hurrying all the way, and it was already evening when they arrived at Yongqiu County.Li Yaocheng, the magistrate of Yongqiu County, had already led his subordinates to wait in the official post.Li Wei didn't seem to have a good rest last night, his eyes were a little blue, and he didn't care about drinking tea, so he split his head and asked: "This autumn flood is fierce, and Yongqiu is under the most pressure. ”Li Yaocheng has been busy checking the river defense, dispatching migrant workers, and fighting with a group of officials these days, and he is already physically and mentally exhausted.I couldn't help but sigh: "Bachelor Mingjian, the Bianhe River in Yongqiu bursts every year, and the maintenance silver allocated by the imperial court is really limited.If you want to keep the peace for three years, you can't do it without a million taels of silver.As for the moment, I have to strengthen the embankments of Yanggu Town and Xingkou Town.As for whether or not you can get through, it depends on the will of God. ”Before Li Yaocheng's words were finished, there was another thunderclap in mid-air, and a burst of rain hit, Li Wei looked at the gloomy sky like ink, and said coldly: "This is your countermeasure?"
Let me tell you, if the Yongqiu River embankment cannot be held, the flood will soon spread to the capital, and the lives of millions of residents will be at stake.Prepare the horses, call all the people of the county government, and go with me to the embankment. ”Li Yaocheng hurriedly agreed, but saw Li Wei changing into an oil coat while ordering sharply: "Inform the county government offices along the Bianhe River in Kaifeng Prefecture, and send people to inspect the streets and alleys.Men over the age of 16 in Yongqiu County were called, from Yanggu Town to Chengguan Town, and people were sent to patrol the 30-mile embankment.If something goes wrong, without waiting for Your Majesty to condemn me, I will first take you, the magistrate, to ask for guilt. ”The horse was soon led, and Levi turned over and rode all the way, and soon came to the embankment north of the city.In the rain, but seeing the people and horses patrolling the embankment moving with wind lanterns, and the sound of gongs to report safety was heard from time to time, Li Wei felt a little calmer, and held the lanterns along the embankment to check them one by one, and suddenly frowned again.He Bing obviously also noticed that something was wrong, and raised his voice and said, "Bachelor, this river embankment is not strong. ”He Bing pointed to a section of the embankment in the middle and said, "Bachelor, please see, this section is completely piled up with straw bales, I'm afraid that by tomorrow, the river will burst the embankment." ”Li Wei's heart sank, and his cold eyes swept towards Li Yaocheng of Yongqiu Zhixian County, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Bachelor forgive me."
Seeing that winter was about to begin, he thought that there would be no more floods, and the imperial court did not allocate funds for repairing the embankment on time this year, so he had no choice but to make this decision. ”Li Wei didn't bother to pay attention to him, and asked He Bing directly: "Is it too late to reinforce it with big stones now?"
”He Bing pondered for a moment and said, "It stands to reason that it is possible, but it has to be faster, this embankment will not last long." ”Li Wei turned his head to Li Yaocheng and said, "Take my name and inform Linxian County to urgently recruit people, and this section of the embankment must be strengthened before dawn."
Otherwise, you don't have to do it. ”Li Yaocheng felt quite big: "The bachelor is out of the horse, and people can be mobilized, but the big stones used to build the dam are really not ready, if it is transported from Linxian, the heavy rain and flash floods block the road, I am afraid it will be too late." ”Li Wei sneered: "If you can't get together the materials, you will remove the stone strips of the county government first, if it is not enough, you will also take the stone strips of your mansion and use them. ”Li Yaocheng didn't expect Li Wei to be young, but the words he said were harder than a knife, and he couldn't help but say: "Bachelor, it's okay to be lowly and lowly, the forces behind the wealthy families in the county are intertwined, and you can't afford to offend your lowly position." ”"Who wants you to come forward to offend?"
Li Wei said coldly: "Let's just say that I mean, as soon as the embankment falls and the flood floods in, their family wealth will also be lost. ”After finally arranging everything, Li Weihe Bing took a short rest under the felt shed next to the embankment, their clothes were already soaked, and water was dripping down.He Bing said with a wry smile: "In fact, the river should be dredged and blocked, and the embankment should be raised every year, which is really a symptom but not a root cause." ”Even in such an embarrassing situation, Li Wei still paid attention to his appearance, he did not fall into his seat at will like He Bing, he still made a straight voice, and said in a deep voice: "I know that the old system of governing the river of Zhang Shao, a famous minister during the first emperor, is really worthy of my imitation.Along the Bianhe River, it has been radically cured in sections year by year, and those who should build dams should build dams, and those who should build double embankments should build double embankments.It's just that after the death of the first emperor, the empress dowager hung the curtains, abided by the rules in everything, and sought to be quiet, all the laws on farmland and water conservancy were abolished, and the management of the Bianhe River was only to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, so she had to barely maintain no accidents. ”He Bing sighed and said, "I heard that the bachelor was slashed last year and asked for the restoration of Zhang Shao's method of governing the river, but was rejected by Su Yi?"
”Li Wei sneered: "Let's wait, Your Majesty is going to be pro-government, I'm afraid he won't be able to cover the sky with one hand." ”Li Wei discussed with He Bing on the river embankment about the method of governing the river, and in the official post, Xue Ying was also worried about what to eat tonight.Yongqiu was not rich, and in time for the shortage of grain, vegetables and meat in the disaster year, the official post was only left with rice noodles and a small amount of pork, vegetables and tofu.Xue Ying thought about it, so she had to make tofu soup.Cut the tofu into small cubes, scald it with boiling water, and remove it for later use.Fungus, cabbage and pork are also washed and chopped.Pour water into the pot, wait until the water is not boiling, add minced meat, fungus, cabbage, diced tofu and salt, cook until the tofu shows a honeycomb in the middle, and when it floats on top of the soup, you can drizzle the starch.Xue Ying carefully blended a small half bowl of water starch, carefully poured into the soup, and added a little sesame oil and coriander before leaving the pot, and the fragrant tofu soup was ready.But Xue Ying waited and waited, and Li Wei and his party didn't go to the post house until almost dawn.Zheng Liang hurriedly said to her: "There is hot soup to prepare some quickly, everyone is hungry." ”Xue Ying hurriedly agreed, and asked again: "There is no leak in the embankment, right?"
”Zheng Liang seemed to be infinitely emotional: "Ah Lang has been strengthened overnight, and we are all helping on the side, and we can finally survive this autumn flood safely." ”The big stone in Xue Ying's heart finally fell to the ground, and she was busy reheating the tofu soup and rice, and the curator Zhang Luo delivered food to the officials, and she also came to Li Wei's room with a food box.It was the first time Xue Ying had seen Li Wei look so embarrassed, he was drenched like a chicken in soup, his sleeves and trousers were splashed with mud, and his hair bun was a little scattered. ”Levi glanced at her, straightened his hair in a bun a little uncomfortably, and coughed, "Got it." ”He opened the food box casually and found that there was a bowl of rice and a bowl of tofu soup in it, and he couldn't help but say, "It's too much, are you trying to support me?"
”Xue Ying pouted and said, "It's not because Ah Lang didn't bother to eat last night, but because I was afraid that you would be hungry." ”Li Wei saw that her eyes were also a little blue, and it could be seen that she hadn't slept all night, so it was rare that he didn't care about it anymore, so he slowed down his voice and said, "If you haven't eaten, come over and use some together." ”Xue Ying wanted to excuse herself, but firstly, she was really hungry, and secondly, she didn't have to pay too much attention to the rules when she went out, so she also sat down on the side, took a pair of dishes and chopsticks and divided some soup.Levi poured some rice into the soup and took a sip with a little urgency, the tofu was soft and tender, the fungus was crispy, the cabbage was sweet, the addition of minced meat made the soup more mellow, and the final coriander was the finishing touch, further awakening the numb taste buds.Levi didn't sleep all night and didn't have much appetite, but this bowl of tofu soup was delicious and delicious, and he ate it comfortably.Although Li Wei's appetite is very gentle, his speed is not slower than Xue Ying's at all, and within half a burnt of incense, he has even eaten the rice and soup.He was completely relaxed at this time, and the fatigue that he had endured for a long time hit him little by little, and Xue Ying finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks only to find that Li Wei was actually asleep leaning on the back of the chair.Xue Ying was stunned for a moment, and finally stepped forward and said softly: "Ah Lang should go back to bed and sleep." ”Li Wei thought that she was asleep, and she didn't hear Xue Ying's words at all, she hesitated for a moment, walked to the side of the bed, took a quilt, and carefully covered him.Xue Ying stared at Li Wei for a moment, and had to admit that he was a beautiful man with extremely clear eyebrows and eyes, but in his sleep, his brows were also wrinkled, and he always looked preoccupied.At this moment, a strange thought suddenly popped up in Xue Ying's heart: it would be nice if the wrinkles on Li Wei's brows were smoothed.Chapter 26 Because of Li's meritorious service in maintaining the embankment, the imperial court issued a decree to praise him.It's just that there are too many twists and turns along the way, and after the group came back from Yongqiu, they rested for a few days before their physical strength recovered.On this day, Xue Ying cooked dinner in the big kitchen, and the dish was fried bones.She asked Mrs.
Chen with a smile: "Why haven't you seen Mrs.
Wang come in the past few days, is she sick?"
”Mrs.
Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "She has something at home and has taken a few days off." ”"Oh."
Xue Ying said casually: "It's a pity, she asked me a few days ago for advice on how to make fried pork ribs." ”Mrs.
Chen didn't say much, washed and wiped the pork ribs into small pieces, then added cold water to the pot, boiled it slightly, and scooped it up after it was broken.Next, Xue Ying began to prepare the sauce.A tablespoon of mung bean starch, add minced Sichuan pepper, water bean sauce, chopped green onion, rice wine and salt, pour in an appropriate amount of water to make a powder paste, and roll the broken pork ribs in the paste, and the pork ribs are stained with a thin layer of powder.Then heat the pot, pour in an appropriate amount of rapeseed oil, slowly pour the ribs in, the ribs are preheated and make a sizzling sound, the surface layer soon formed a thin shell, and a thick meat aroma mixed with Sichuan pepper fragrance came to the nose.Xue Ying quickly turned over the ribs and stirred them repeatedly until the dough was yellow and crispy, and both sides were thoroughly fried, and then they were ready to come out of the pot.Mrs.
Chen said with a smile: "With fried pork ribs, we can make two more side dishes, but what staple food to prepare today, I have been drinking porridge every day recently, and I am tired of thinking about Ah Lang and Mrs.
Tai." ”Xue Ying pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Otherwise, let's make tadpole powder, and I often eat it at home." ”Mrs.
Chen hesitated: "After all, it is the food of the small people in the market, it is too coarse." ”Xue Ying said with a smile: "Ah Lang and Mrs.
Tai should also be aware of the people's feelings."
What's more, tadpole powder is delicious, and they will definitely like it. ”Xue Ying said as she took out an appropriate amount of flour and stirred it into a paste with water.The lady Chen had already boiled the water, Xue Ying scooped the batter into the small retort, and with a slight press, the batter scrambled to fall from the small hole at the bottom of the retort and swam into the boiling water like a small tadpole.First it sank to the bottom, then it floated, and when the water boiled again, the tadpole powder was almost ripe, and Xue Ying quickly fished them out with a fence.Blanch the yellow tooth cabbage in boiling water and put it in a bowl with tadpole powder.Then start to prepare the sauce, cut a little minced garlic and shallots, add a little coriander, pepper, sesame oil, rice vinegar and salt, mix well, put it in tadpole powder and stir, and then pour an appropriate amount of pork bone broth, a bowl of fragrant tadpole powder is ready.When Levi was busy with official documents, he would have dinner in his study.In the past, I just ate something to fill my stomach.But recently, when it was almost time to eat, he was always hungry on time, I don't know what kind of meal Xue Ying will prepare tonight?
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zheng Liang to come with a food box.When Li Wei opened the food box, he saw that a plate of fried pork ribs was golden brown and sprinkled with green onions, which looked extremely attractive.There was also a bowl of food similar to gluttony, but the noodles were shaped like small tadpoles, and there was a tail behind the round, and Levi couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of food is this?"
”Zheng Liang said with a smile: "Back to Ah Lang, this is tadpole powder, a food commonly eaten by small people in the market, and the taste is very refreshing." ”He instructed Li Wei again: "Xue Niangzi asked me to tell Ah Lang that this fried bone should be eaten with your hands while it is hot, and it will not be good if it is cold and hard." ”Li Wei secretly thought: Xue Ying really still doesn't understand etiquette, and the "Book of Rites" clearly says that there are no bones, but she served herself a plate of fried bones, and told herself to eat them with her hands.He frowned slightly and said, "Got it, you can step down." ”Li Wei first scooped a spoonful of tadpole powder into his mouth, the soup was sour and spicy and fragrant, and also had the unique mellow taste of pork bone soup, the yellow sprouts fully absorbed the soup, becoming sweet and crisp, and the best thing was the tadpole-shaped dough, the taste was smooth and tender, like a small tadpole, smooth and slippery into his abdomen, and he didn't need to chew much.Before I knew it, most of the bowl of tadpole powder was in my stomach.It's just that Levi still doesn't feel very full, so he set his sights on the plate of fried bones, Xue Ying said that this bone is not delicious when it is cold, so he will eat a piece while it is hot?
Of course, it's definitely not the same as eating with your hands.Li Wei added a piece of pork ribs with chopsticks, and took a bite gently, the aroma of meat, green onion and pepper spread in his mouth, the skin of the ribs was extremely crispy, but the inside was elastic and chewy, and there was a faint flow of meat juice when he took a bite, which made people more and more addicted, and soon, this piece of pork ribs was eaten.Levi sandwiched another piece of pork ribs and gnawed it clean, thinking with some regret, but unfortunately he couldn't drink alcohol on official business, and this fried bone went well with lamb wine.Moreover, it is too troublesome to gnaw bones with chopsticks.Li Wei awkwardly ate half a plate of pork ribs with chopsticks, he was really impatient, hesitated for a moment, and there was no one else in the left and right rooms, so he simply went to grasp it.He grabbed a piece of pork ribs and gnawed it down, it seems that Xue Ying said well, sure enough, it is still easy to eat, and it is also clean, he feels that the ribs are more delicious, and within half a fragrant time, he will eat all the ribs.It seems that Xue Ying still has done too little, and she doesn't have enough to eat at all.Xue Ying had been busy all day, and was just about to lie down to rest, when she suddenly heard a commotion in the distance.Gradually, the voice came from afar, in the direction of his dwelling.Bang bang, someone was knocking on her door.What could happen at such a late hour?
Xue Ying wondered in her heart, got up and opened the door, it was the housekeeper Lin Niangzi who came with a group of subordinates.Xue Ying didn't know what to do, so she stepped forward and asked with a smile: "What are the ladies looking for me?"
”Lin Niangzi's sharp eyes swept towards Xue Ying, and said lightly: "The big kitchen lost a piece of gold glazed bowls, if it is ordinary tableware, this glazed cup is a pair of mansions, it is very valuable, I am afraid that someone stole it, so people who often go in and out of the big kitchen check it, and everyone also goes to suspect." ”Xue Ying didn't do anything wrong, she was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I don't need the ladies to do it, my valuables are all in the big wardrobe at the head of the bed, and now that I open it, the ladies will search it at will." ”Xue Ying opened the cabinet and neatly poured out all the clothes and jewelry, everyone searched and found nothing abnormal, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and a lady smiled: "Nothing, let's go." ”When she was about to close the cabinet, Lin Niangzi said, "Slow, what is this?"
”As he spoke, he took out a lacquer box with a curved water pattern from the cabinet, opened it and saw that it was a golden glass cup with a group of flowers!
It was someone who maliciously framed herself, and at this moment, Xue Ying only felt cold all over her body.She looked blankly at the people around her, because she couldn't see what expressions on their faces were due to the light on her back, and she was in a trance for a moment.Lin Niangzi stared at her and said coldly: "Xue Niangzi, what else do you have to say?"
”Xue Ying had calmed down at the moment, looked at Lin Niangzi calmly, and said, "This is not my thing, someone stuffed it into the cabinet while I was away." ”Lin Niangzi let out a sneer: "The glass cup was searched out of your house, do you dare to deny it?"
”Xue Ying said lightly: "I don't have anything valuable in this cabinet, so it's not locked, and it's easy to stuff things inside."
The court's conviction is based on both human and material evidence, and who saw with their own eyes that I stole the glass cup?
”"Presumptuous!"
Lin Niangzi didn't expect Xue Ying to be so sharp-toothed, and shouted: "Strong words, nonsense."
I want you to know today that the house is not a place for you to do whatever you want. ”She turned her head and ordered her subordinates: "Come on, escort her to the courtyard, let her kneel for a night and reflect on it, don't look at her hard mouth now, I'm afraid that she won't survive the dawn and will be recruited." ”Xue Ying suddenly raised her voice and asked, "What qualifications do you have to escort me?"

”As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked, the Lin family was the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, powerful, decisive in killing and killing on weekdays, and punished many subordinates, everyone has always respected and feared her, Xue Ying dared to argue with her at a young age, and her courage was too great.Lin Niangzi stared at her and laughed contemptuously: "I am the housekeeper lady in the house, and this search is also on the orders of Mrs.
Tai, do you dare to disobey?"
”Xue Ying said: "Lin Niangzi forgot, I am not the son of the house, and I have not signed a deed of sale, even if I am really guilty, I can only be interrogated by the government."
If you deal with me, you will be lynching.When the time comes, Ah Lang will blame him, and Lin Niangzi is afraid that she will not be able to bear this responsibility. ”Xue Ying's voice was not loud, but it was quite intimidating.Lin Niangzi couldn't help but be stunned.She was also hesitating in her heart, the imperial court did explicitly prohibit the abuse of lynching by the clan, besides, looking at Xue Ying's battle, this matter may not be without surprises, in case it is her own judgment that makes a mistake, and she will be the one who bears the blame in the end.Thinking of this, Lin Niangzi sneered and said, "I have been in charge of affairs in the house for many years, and it is the first time I have seen such a hard bone as Xue Niangzi.This is what you said, and you want the government to interrogate you.The people in the government are not as good as me, and you are sprinkled in front of you. ”Lin Niangzi turned her head and instructed her subordinates: "It's late at this time, Mrs.
Tai has just rested, but it's not easy to be alarmed, first lock her up in the firewood room, send someone to keep an eye on her, and wait for Mrs.
Tai tomorrow, and then send it to the government for conviction." ”Soon, Xue Ying was locked up in the teahouse in the southwest corner of the Li Mansion, and the lady who was keeping vigil was going to rest, but when she saw another person sent, she didn't dare to say anything in front of her, and when everyone dispersed, she complained: "It's hard enough to sit seriously, and we got a thief to guard us." ”She pushed Xue Ying into the tea room and said in a cold voice: "Don't think about not being able to look for death and life, it will be mine at that time." ”With a click, the door was locked, it was already early winter, there was no fire inside, Xue Ying only felt cold to the bone, but the north wind blew again, and gradually, she felt that half of her body was numb.Naturally, there is no tea, and there is no pillow to sleep, Xue Ying just opened her eyes and stayed up, it turned out that the winter night was so long.Chapter 27 When the sky was bright, Mrs.
Chen came to see Xue Ying.When the lady who kept vigil saw her, her brows immediately furrowed: "Chen Niangzi, I know that you have a good relationship with Xue Niangzi, but the glass cup in the big kitchen is lost, she is seriously suspicious, and locking her here is to prevent collusion, you can't go in." ”Mrs.
Chen secretly stuffed her with a piece of broken silver, and said in a low voice: "I'm just going to deliver food, let's make it convenient." ”The night watchlady weighed her weight, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, but you have to hurry, it's not good to come in a while." ”Xue Ying was a little surprised by Chen Niangzi's visit, she reluctantly smiled and said, "Why are you here at this time, don't you need to prepare early?"
”Mrs.
Chen glanced at Xue Ying and sighed: "I really can't rest assured, what's going on?"
”Xue Ying raised her head stubbornly: "I don't know either."
Someone deliberately framed it, and I didn't steal the glass jar. ”Chen Niangzi looked around, lowered her voice and said, "I naturally believe that Xue Niangzi is a human being.It's just that you've always been straightforward, but who do you offend on weekdays?
”Xue Ying shook her head: "Although I have been unscrupulous in my words since I entered the mansion, I have always been kind to others, and I haven't hindered anyone?"
”Chen Niangzi frowned and asked: "I heard that Lin Niangzi said that she found the glass cup in Xue Niangzi's room, can you tell me more about the situation at that time?"
”Xue Ying recalled: "They were found in the closet by my bedside, and the glass cup was in a curved water pattern lacquer box.As I recall, the wardrobe was unlocked that day. ”Mrs.
Chen asked casually: "What color is that box?"
”"Apricot yellow, average workmanship, I don't think it's for official use."
Mrs.
Chen couldn't help but be stunned and muttered, "How could it be her?"
It shouldn't be. ”Xue Ying grabbed her hand and asked, "Lady Chen, what do you mean by that?"
”Chen Niangzi hesitated for a moment and said: "Don't hide it from Xue Niangzi, a few days ago, I saw an identical box in Wang Niangzi's room.But she has always had a good relationship with Xue Niangzi. ”Xue Ying couldn't believe it, and blurted out: "It can't be Wang Niangzi, she has no reason to frame me." ”Chen Niangzi pondered for a moment and persuaded: "I hope I think too much, but the heart of guarding against others is indispensable."
I listened to the ladies in charge of the house, and when Mrs.
Tai had breakfast, I went to report the matter to her.Time is running out, Xue Niangzi has to have an idea in her heart. ”"Bother Mrs.
Chen to send a letter to the little lady, she knows who I am and will make decisions for me."
Xue Ying stayed up all night thinking about countermeasures, and after thinking about it, only Li Jia could stand up for her.She also thought about pleading to Levi, but as soon as she remembered his paralyzed face, she subconsciously dispelled this unreliable idea."
Okay, I'll go find the little lady."
Chen Niangzi casually handed her a food box and instructed, "Xue Niangzi hasn't eaten breakfast yet."
Today is the winter solstice, and here is the dumpling I just made, you remember to eat it while it's hot. ”After saying that, he hurried away.It turned out to be the winter solstice.The winter solstice of the national dynasty has always had the custom of eating gluttony, and Xue Ying actually forgot about it completely.She opened the food box casually, and the faint aroma came to her nose, which was a warm smell of fireworks.The soup is made of pork bones, the color is milky white, the shape of the noodles in the soup is very beautiful, like cute cat ears, and there are a few slices of tender yellow sprouts and a few green leeks floating on it.Xue Ying didn't have much appetite after a sleepless night, but she felt a little hungry at this time.She scooped a mouthful of soup with a spoon, and it turned out that Chen Niangzi also added juice to the soup, which tasted exactly the same as the bowl of noodle soup she made for Chen Niangzi!
It is the spicy and stimulating taste that I love, and it also has the freshness and mellow flavor of pork bone broth, and the cat's ear-shaped dumpling fully absorbs the soup, becoming smooth and soft, and has a strong wheat aroma in the mouth.Before I knew it, half a bowl of gluttony was eaten.Perhaps the so-called hope is nothing more than a pot of charcoal fire on a cold night, a bright light in the sea of fog, and a bowl of hot soup when you are hungry.Xue Ying's unintentional act of kindness was actually rewarded with a heart.Of course, there are many ghosts and ghosts in this world, but there are also fair and righteous people, thinking of this, she doesn't seem to be so cold, and slowly falls asleep against the wall.In Mrs.
Tai's room, Li Jia and Mrs.
Lin had an argument.Li Jia said to Mrs.
Tai: "Niangniang, you know what Xue Niangzi is, and she definitely didn't steal the glass cup." ”Lin Niangzi coughed and said: "Little lady, I also hope that Xue Niangzi is innocent, but after all, the glass cup was found from her room, if she is not strictly interrogated, she really can't explain it to everyone, and the slave and maid will no longer be able to discipline her subordinates in the future." ”Mrs.
Tai raised her forehead and sighed, and persuaded Xue Ying: "Third sister, you don't know your heart, Xue Niangzi is guilty or not, let's wait for the review to be clear." ”Mrs.
Tai turned her head and instructed Mrs.
Lin: "The eldest brother went to the court in the morning and will not come back until the evening."
He has to deal with hundreds of such cases a year in the Yamen, and he is the most experienced, so let's wait for him to come back and make a decision. ”Mrs.
Lin also felt that it was safe to do this, so she hurriedly agreed.Li Wei did not return to the house until three o'clock in the morning, and Zheng Liang waited for him to change out of his official uniform and put on a moon-white brocade robe.He looked slightly tired, and waited for the people to present dinner, which was a few dishes such as fried mutton with wine, river fish buns, and hoof soup, he tasted a little, frowned and asked, "Isn't Xue Niangzi on duty in the big kitchen today?"
”A subordinate said: "Back to Ah Lang, I heard that Xue Niangzi broke the rules, and Lin Niangzi came forward to lock her up in the firewood room?"
”
