Rebirth of the Blind

Ye Lin has conscientiously played the role of a corrupt official for the past few days, and Kong Caimu, who has joined him, has naturally become the one who pays later, with a bully following behind, Ye Lin has bought some expensive things unceremoniously, don't be in vain don't want.

If Kong Caimu was doing what he was used to doing, the only one who was dissatisfied was the attendant who followed the imperial envoy. The attendant kept his head down all the time and 'ignored' him.No, he is much more senior than that person, so he probably doesn't know etiquette.He ordered the attendant to carry something, but the man turned a deaf ear to it, leaving him to carry a bunch of things by himself for a while, but later he learned how to do it, and directly found a few people in the city lord's mansion to share the burden.

But hard work has a price.

Kong Caimu smiled like a cat sneaking into the study of the city lord Hu Guang, and startled the city lord's wife who came out with a teacup.

Seeing that the teacup was fine, the mayor's wife relaxed her expression, looked at Kong Caimu and blamed directly: "Brother, how old are you, why are you still so reckless? My sister told you several times that the city lord's study is not my home, it must be You have to knock on the door first. If the person inside is not me today, don’t you know how rude it would be? If you accidentally offend your brother-in-law’s guest, then my sister will not be able to keep you.”

Regarding his sister's constant nagging, Kong Caimu basically went in his left ear and out his right ear. Seeing that his sister had calmed down a bit, he hurriedly pulled her out, "Sister, if you talk so much, brother-in-law will get tired of you sooner or later! Besides my brother-in-law, An Cheng is the biggest on me? What is there to be afraid of?"

The wife of the city lord immediately stopped what she was going to say when she heard this, but she couldn't help but say another sentence, "It's good if you have this awareness, but I heard that you are servile and flattering to the third-rank officials. I really don't understand you What do you think, your brother-in-law is the city lord, if you show weakness to those people, what will those people think?"

The only thing Kong Caimu wasn't afraid of was his elder sister. He glanced sideways at the mayor's wife, then closed the door and put on the bolt.

"Be nice to your sister. You must know that you are able to live and eat like this because of your sister." Hu Guang, the city lord, yawned, and his face trembled all over.

You say it as if you feel sorry for your sister, don't go shopping with me in flower houses after you have the ability!Kong Caimu secretly exposed the old background of the city lord, but with a smile begging for appreciation on his face, he said happily, "Brother-in-law, do you know why I went these few days?"

The city lord, Hu Guang put his tail on his nostrils, and replied perfunctorily, "Where else can I go?"

"Brother-in-law, I'm going to accompany the Imperial Envoy!"

The inner wall of the nostril suddenly felt pain, and when the city lord poked out his little finger, he saw bright red blood between the nails.

"Brother-in-law, don't be so happy! It's a big deal if you pick your nose!" Kong Caimu anxiously grabbed a piece of clothes and quickly wiped off the blood on the city lord's nails. Unexpectedly, the city lord didn't praise him, but instead had a look on his face. He asked disgustedly: "When did you wash your clothes?"

Kong Caimu was stunned, and replied depressedly, "Last month, what?" After finishing speaking, he remembered what he was going to talk about today, "Brother-in-law, don't change the topic! Let me tell you, the imperial envoy is a Corrupt officials!"

Thick fingers tapped on the table, bringing out the low sound of the table, "The Lord of this city is very clear, I need you to say this? What stupid thing are you doing again?" Accompanying the imperial envoy? !Thankfully he figured it out!Hu Guang thought he should demote him another level! "You think you're honest and upright, and you think you'll go out to dinner with the city lord? If you have a clean sleeve, you can't even support a male pet! Not to mention that male pet is blind, and usually needs several people to take care of it." Things that can be known from small details , Kong Caimu actually took so many days of probing to figure it out, what a talent!Mr. Yuezhang really chose the right name!

Dead wood cannot be carved!

"Brother-in-law..." I thought I could take credit for it, but now in the eyes of my brother-in-law, it is superfluous.

"Get out, my city lord doesn't want to see you. Keep an eye on your imperial envoy for the next few days."

"Huh? Brother-in-law, didn't you say it was unnecessary?" Then why do you want to do this?

"I don't know the purpose of his coming, so I don't know what to do."

Isn't the purpose to collect money?

Kong Caimu obviously forgot what Ji'an City is in the eyes of others. Since outsiders think Ji'an City is a barren small town, why would His Majesty send someone here?

The fat-headed city lord felt that the secret he had worked so hard to hide for ten years would be revealed.

He put the gold of three rooms in full, and he couldn't give it up to others.

Ling Yuancheng went into the room and sat on the stool, and when he came back here, Ye Lin naturally became Ling Yuancheng's hidden guard, standing aside responsibly, looking at the pile of things piled up in the corner, "Master, what should the envoys do at this time?" It's the fourth day since we arrived in Qinjue City."

"kindness."

"It has been raining for a long time in Qin's Juancheng. I'm afraid there are many more victims. The food brought by the envoy can only last for ten days at most."

How could Ling Yuancheng not understand Ye Lin's meaning, there is no delay at this moment, and he must hurry up to get the silver taels for disaster relief in Ji'an City.

"If it weren't for the lack of treasury, the master is afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos and reduce the military salary, so he would not be so kind to this city of Ji'an. It would not be wrong to deceive His Majesty, conceal the wealth and honor of the city, and kill the entire family of the city lord according to the law. However, as long as there is an imperial decree, the money will naturally be available, so why do you need to make false claims with them?"

What Ye Lin said is indeed correct, he only needs to issue an imperial decree, and those things are easily available, why waste so much time?

"I want to keep this city, it's as simple as that." He needs this incomparably rich city to become his own, instead of killing the city owner, replacing him with a new city owner, and dividing up the city with the people in the court. money.

"Ye Lin doesn't understand."

"You don't need to understand. But time is indeed running out, I want to speed up." With a cold face, Ling Yuancheng glanced at Ye Lin, who immediately knelt down on one knee, and his deep voice came to his ears, "Chou Shi (1-3 o'clock in the morning) and go to the castellan's room."

"Subordinates obey."

Ever since people found out that she was blind, Xia never left the room, fearing that she would be bullied by others, and even more afraid that she would affect Ling Yuancheng's plan.

The door was pushed open with a harsh creak.

Xia rubbed his still round belly, and asked confusedly: "Shouldn't it be time to eat yet?" Because he couldn't see, his tone was full of uncertainty.The man didn't answer, just walked towards him.Xia thought that he had made a mistake in his judgment, so he didn't speak any more, waiting for the man to put the food in front of him.

Hearing the sound of something being placed on the table, he felt for the edge, but there was no chopsticks as he expected, "Are there no chopsticks?" The man still didn't answer, he hesitated for a moment, and stretched his hands forward, ready to use them directly Grab and eat.

The palm touched something cold and hard, at most as big as his palm, he touched the surroundings, and after touching a raised object, he pressed down, and the palm on top was bounced away, making it He was even more puzzled.

"what is this?"

The man still didn't answer.Xia gave up the idea of ​​asking that person to answer, the thing was obviously a wooden box, he stretched out a hand to put it in, and felt a piece of cold and soft sticky.How much he presses, the thing bounces back.Xia, who had never touched this kind of thing before, felt very novel, pressed it there a few more times, and smiled happily, revealing his teeth that were whitened in the palace later.

When he took out his hand, he accidentally smelled the fragrance from his hand. After the fragrance faded, it was like the smell of sweet-scented osmanthus. "What is this?" Full of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask again.

This is the only flower he knows.In the month of Wule Division, apart from the water that impressed him deeply, the only thing that impressed him was the osmanthus tree planted by the moon.Although Yongyue doesn't like to talk and laugh and is more serious, she cherishes the sweet-scented osmanthus trees she planted.

Xiao Xizi said that the sweet-scented osmanthus tree was planted three years after Yongyue entered the palace, and she had been with her for more than thirty years. Every time the flower bloomed, when the wind blew, the petals would fly away, carrying bursts of fragrance, and Yongyue What Yue loves most is dancing under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Xiao Xizi said that he saw it before, and it was very beautiful. Wearing a pink and blue dance dress, Yongyue danced like a fairy under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

The man still didn't answer.Xia heard footsteps, and the door was opened and closed not long after.He knew that the man was gone.

Xia lost his color and passed by in a flash, and then pressed it back and forth several times with endless joy, and closed the cover until his hands were almost sore.

When Ye Lin opened the door, she saw Xia standing on the table, with a soft smile on her face, and her hands on a delicate box.He walked over and looked at the texture of the box, "My lord, what is this?" Ye Lin felt that the box was a bit familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"I don't know, someone brought it in." Xia replied with a smile.

"Can my subordinate take a look?"

Xia is actually reluctant to part with it, he likes this thing very much, but Ye Lin said he wanted to see it, but he didn't know how to refuse, "...En." He withdrew his palm from the box.

Ye Lin opened the box, and a scent came out of her sensitive nose.The things in the box are not expensive things, maybe not as valuable as this box, but just a piece of pastry, the most expensive piece of pastry in Ji'an City.

The whole body of the pastry is transparent. The most famous thing is that when you hold the pastry, the pastry will softly adapt to the curvature of your palm, and it will bounce back when you press it, leaving no trace. When you eat it, it is smooth and fragrant. Remains between the lips and teeth.It is very difficult to make. It is said that it takes three days to make a batch, so there is a prescribed quantity to sell every day, which is worth one tael of silver.

The most reasonable thing about this store is that it has always been at that price, no matter how many times the recipe has been changed during the period, the supply is in short supply.

"This is Bipo Cake, the most famous pastry in Ji'an City."

His face turned red suddenly.Xia thought about all the possibilities of this thing, but she never thought that it was a piece of pastry.Thinking of the stupid things I did for so long in front of that person just now, my face turned even redder.

"Young Master, you can try it. Usually, you need to rely on your connections to buy this piece." Ye Lin remembered that today Kong Caimu took advantage of his position to jump in the queue openly under the watchful eyes of the long queue, took a piece and told him to taste it, and vigorously Recommended, fearing that it would be inconvenient for him to hold it, Kong Caimu bought a special box for small ornaments at the nearest jewelry store, lined it with oiled paper, and put the Bipo cake in the box.

If I remember correctly, it seems to be this box?Then he seemed to hand it over to his 'attendant'?
