A visit to Fangchun

The brother and daughter-in-law of the Zhao family watched curiously as the door slammed shut, and asked quietly, "Master, is that official being beaten? Why are you so scared?"

The brothers of the Zhao family also found it strange. After thinking about it, they pushed the abacus on the table and said in a low voice, "Look at the shop, I'll go and tell my sister."

His wife nodded, sat at the counter for him, and turned to greet the guests with a smile: "It's not early or late, what are you going to eat when you come? A bowl of tea would be good. In this weather, you should have lotus seed tea."

The Zhao family was busy at the tea shop. Hearing what his brother said, he remembered that the third girl had repeatedly told him that if there was any unusual movement by the official, he had to report it immediately. After thinking about it, he got up and went to the mansion.

Just after entering the mansion, he saw a group of Qing guests swarming out, biting their tongues and pointing their fingers, with a look of fear of being caught in a catastrophe.

The Zhao family grabbed a clean guest named Zhan Guang and Zhan Ziliang, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhan, what's the matter? Why are all the gentlemen going back?"

Zhan barefooted, out of breath, waved his hands and said: "Come on! The master is beating the second master of Bao again! This is a big fight, and the master is actually in charge! I think the second master is dead! The old man My wife has already come out, we still don't leave, can't we wait to fill in the limit?"

The Zhao family was shocked, and then they held their mouths together and laughed, and whispered: "You always listen to me, don't go too far. After a while, the old lady will take the second master away. When the master is depressed, no one will relieve the boredom. become?"

At that time, whoever is in front will be favored!

Zhan Guang was refreshed, and immediately became calm and relaxed. He put his hand behind his back, brushed off his robe, and nodded, "So, sister-in-law, please go and do it yourself?"

The Zhao family knew in their hearts that these snobs were all crossing rivers and destroying bridges, so they were not annoyed, and nodded with a smile: "Yes."

walk quickly.

Shan Renren looked strange, so he leaned over and asked, "Brother Ziliang is familiar with this person?"

I am a good scholar, why do I need to get acquainted with other servants?

Zhan Guang shook his sleeves.Frowning: "This is the first time I've seen her. She just asked me why everyone was panicking."

Shan hired a smile: "This kind of stupid woman likes to inquire about these things the most. How boring?"

Zhan Guang also hummed twice, seeing that everyone had turned a corner and disappeared, he coughed, turned around, twisted his beard, and walked back to the study slowly with square steps behind his back.

Shan Renren found it strange, and hurriedly caught up: "Brother Ziliang, is this?"

Zhan Guang said leisurely: "The old man has only this jade child under his knee, and he is just angry. After this effort, I'm afraid he will be sad. Oh, poor, poor!"

After finishing speaking, he nodded meaningfully at Shan Renren.

Shan hired Dawu, smiled and cupped his hands at him: "Thank you brother Zhan for pointing the maze! This kind of deed is unforgettable!"

The two of them returned to the study room and saw that there was no one there. They sat blankly for a quarter of an hour, only to see Jia Zheng walking in with tears on his face.

The two hurriedly stood up and went forward, euphemistically persuading: "Brother Shi is considered to be progressive. What's more, knowing a son is like a father, his temperament is just pity, but he has no desire for lust. Why should Shi Weng get angry? As for Zhongshun On the other side of the palace, the old man might as well investigate. How did the long history know that the old man and the young master are at home at this moment? Did they bump into each other by mistake, or did they just send their eyes to watch the mansion? "

Jia Zheng was taken aback by what they said, so he quickly called Jia Lian to tell everyone at the door to be vigilant and observe the situation around the two mansions carefully.I came to report at night, but there was nothing unusual.Only then did Jia Zheng put his heart back in his stomach.From then on, he really relied more on Zhan and Shan.

When the Zhao family heard that there was such a commotion, they knew that they would not see Tanchun for a while, and they each went back to the big kitchen. After a while, they quietly came to look for Tanchun and reported the past. .

"My brother thought about explaining it, but if there is anything wrong, he can't let it go, so he sent me a letter immediately. Unexpectedly, the second master Bao was beaten, so I went to the big kitchen, and it has been delayed until now."

Tanchun frowned, thinking about it carefully.Suddenly startled, he stood up and hurriedly asked, "Is there really no one following him?"

The Zhao family shook his head and said: "It's a hot day, even a ghost's shadow is very obvious. When my brother came, there was really no one behind him."

Tanchun shook his head, sat down, and said in a low voice: "This is definitely wrong. You go out immediately and find a way to bring your brother and daughter-in-law in. I will ask her personally."

The Zhao family was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "This is really a big deal! If someone finds out, this..."

Zhao Nanny frowned and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? The mansion is in a mess because of Second Master Bao, who can take care of you? Take a few taels of silver and a pot of wine, and let it go quietly."

Tanchun already had an idea, and said, "Has your brother-in-law already learned those dishes? There is a cold jellyfish skin and a cold noodle dish, can she know it? Tomorrow, I will say that you invited her here." I taught you how to cook. It doesn’t matter if it’s there or not. It’s just that it’s better to keep it secret, not to be seen by others.”

The Zhao family agreed and hurried away.

After dinner, he brought the daughter-in-law in.

When someone came, Tanchun was not in a hurry, asked her to sit down, asked her name, and said with a smile: "I asked you to open a tea shop before, that's just what I said. Who knows that the official really lived again?" I’m going back, so I’d like to ask you to take a closer look. People who are promoted by our family are afraid that he will bite back, but I hate it very much.”

The daughter-in-law's maiden name is Yi, and her husband's surname is Du.

Has the Du family ever seen the grandeur of the Duke's Mansion?He was already so frightened that his feet were weak, if he hadn't heard a lot about the third girl from the mouth of the eldest sister-in-law, he might not be able to get up when he was kneeling on the ground and crawling.Seeing that Tanchun is kind and kind at this moment, he is a little bolder, and said with a smile: "We are afraid that we will make a fuss and make a fuss, and miss the girl."

Tanchun smiled and nodded: "Very good at talking. Mrs. Zhao's sister-in-law is a good teacher. So, you can tell me all the people and things that come and go from the official back to you today."

The Du family calmed down, cleared his throat, and said: "He closed the door when he went back, and yelled at the gate. If someone came again, he would say that he was out of the city and he was not at home. Our men felt something was wrong, so we said to go home and get something. , and left. Before he left, two regular customers came to the shop, first ordered two cups of lotus seed tea, then two cups of plum tea, and finally served two cups of Maojianer before the rain—"

Zhao's family thought she was naughty, frowned and coughed.

The Du family was so frightened that they hurriedly stopped talking.

Tanchun's expression was serious, and he said, "Don't be afraid, just say it like this, and then say it, just talk about these two people!"
