Wonderful Puppet

After the sixth prince left first, Luo Tianxuan sat with Zhen Miao again.

Only then did she have time to take out the stack of papers and take a closer look.

The paper recorded the size of the family in the Changting coffin shop.

After reading it, Zhen Miao pressed the letter paper on her skirt and was speechless for a long time.

The Changting coffin shop family moved to the capital from the side, and the population is relatively simple, because I have a solid craftsmanship, and the coffins I polished are excellent, and my daughter-in-law is dexterous, and the paper carts, paper horses, gold and silver mountains, etc. are vivid, and the business Very prosperous.

The second young master thought that he was very proud of having an income of ten taels of silver a month, but in fact, to be honest, an ordinary family's annual expenditure is only this amount.

Such a family would not worry about marrying a daughter-in-law, but the second son's eyes are a little bit wrong, but his eyesight is high, and he will be delayed every time he comes and goes.

The matter of meeting Wen Yaqi at the Lantern Festival was told by an aunt who often walked the streets and alleys. In her words, it was just a calculation. When the second young master's marriage is here, what kind of woman will he meet at the Lantern Festival? , and then gave some mysterious pointers before leading to the following things.

"This is all explained by the aunt. When asked who instigated her, she couldn't tell. She just said that she woke up one day and found a package stuffed in the gate, which contained 50 taels of silver and a piece of paper. and warned that if you don’t follow it, it’s no longer money. The aunt saw that she was making money, but if she didn’t follow it, she would be in danger of her life, so she obeyed obediently.” Luo Tianxuan explained .

Zhen Miao stared down at the blossoming white plums on the crow-blue hem skirt, and asked, "Can't find evidence that she did it?"

Luo Tianxuan reached out and touched her green hair: "Fool. So what if there is evidence, we just know it well."

Zhen Miao raised her head suddenly: "If there is evidence, it can be handed over to—"

Seeing Luo Tianzheng's expression was calm, he couldn't continue speaking.

That's right, so what if there is evidence, if you really want to hand it over to the sixth prince, I'm afraid it's better than her wanton accusations when she couldn't produce evidence before.

Not to mention the prince, no one would be happy if someone probed the things around him.

A red lacquer box dangled in front of him.

"This is--"

Luo Tianzhen opened it with a smile.There were spiral-shaped golden-yellow pastries spread out on the inside, and he took one and handed it to Zhen Miao: "Wuweizhai's new crispy abalone."

Zhen Miao took a bite, it was delicious and melted in the mouth, it was a rare delicacy.

Her eyes lit up immediately: "I have sent green pigeons to buy several times, but I couldn't find any. I heard that only a few boxes are made for sale in a month, which is a rare rarity."

"You like to eat, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Zhen Miao ate another one and said with a smile, "Go back and study how to make it."

The reason why this crispy abalone is so rare and so popular is that there are not many people like Da Zhou who know how to make cheese.It has something to do with the fact that cheese is rarely used for desserts, but it is not difficult for Zhen Miao.

She picked up one and handed it to Luo Tianzheng: "You eat too."

Luo Tianzheng looked at the dim sum exuding the fragrance of milk.With Zhen Miao's hand, she lowered her head and took a bite.

"Not bad." Even though he said that, he ate one but didn't move.

Zhen Miao asked, "When did you buy it?"

"I asked Imperial Physician Wu to come back and pass by Wuweizhai. There was a long queue there. I thought you might not have time to eat, so I brought a box along."

"By the way? I heard Qing Ge complain. She was in line once, and her shoes were all squeezed out. She couldn't buy it either."

Luo Tianxuan smiled lowly: "I didn't queue up, and the shopkeeper just passed by gave me a box, and no money was taken."

Zhen Miao's eyes widened.

"The behind-the-scenes boss of Wuweizhai is Princess Zhaoyun."

"You know all about this." When mentioning Princess Zhaoyun, Zhen Miao had an indescribable feeling.

Luo Tianxuan explained: "When I was young, I once went to the street for fun and didn't bring anything with me. When I was hungry, I stood outside Wuweizhai in a daze. I happened to meet the eldest princess who came out, and she took me in to eat. I I will know."

"Jin Ming."

"Ok?"

Zhen Miao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I always feel that the eldest princess treats you unusually."

Luo Tianxuan's heart skipped a beat, he took a deep look at Zhen Miao, and said in a strange tone, "Why do you think so?"

The difference between the eldest princess and him, when he found out that the person who gave him the secret book in the previous life was from the eldest princess's house, he became more and more suspicious. Unexpectedly, Jiaojiao also felt it.

Zhen Miao shook her head: "There is no reason, I just feel that every time I see the eldest princess, she treats me differently."

Luo Tianxuan chuckled: "Maybe you fell in love with the eldest princess."

Zhen Miao rolled her eyes and avoided talking about this topic.

Luo Tianxuan stood up: "Jiaojiao, I'm going back first. I'll leave Luo Bao to you. If there's anything else, tell him to go to the government office to find me."

Zhen Miao glanced at Zi Su who was standing not far away, and nodded with a smile.

She settled down in Jian'anbo Mansion with peace of mind, stayed in the Hefeng Garden all day long, and waited on Wen's in full clothes. In just a few days, she lost a lot of weight, and Wen's finally improved.

Zhen Miao breathed a sigh of relief, and plunged into the small kitchen, mixed mushrooms, minced meat, eggs, tofu, etc., steamed a tofu ball, added diced sausage, fresh shallots, etc., and fried a few shredded radish pancakes, served with a A bowl of mutton ball soup squeezed into the size of a pearl, the coriander floating on it was fresh and green, and the fresh turmeric was tender, and they took it to Wen's house together.

"Mother, get up and have something to eat." She put away the autumn-colored pillow and helped Wen to sit up.

Wen's eyes rolled, and he regained some vigor, and drank the soup from the spoon that Zhen Miao handed over.

When Zhen Huan brought Yu Shi in, he saw this scene and couldn't help being startled.

Yu's face was full of shame: "Fourth sister, I'm late."

She looked thinner and thinner, her cheeks sunken, she looked a lot older, and she no longer regained her original brilliance.

It was Zhen Huan who asked Zhen Miao in private to ask Mrs. Yu not to stay here to serve the sick.

Zhen Miao knew that Yu's health had been poor, and if she was really sick like her, she might fall ill again within two days, but she understood Zhen Huan's worry, and said with a smile: "Brother Lei can't do without sister-in-law's care. Woolen cloth."

"Fourth sister, let me feed mother, you take a rest first." Yu Shi took the spoon over.

Zhen Miao did not refuse, "Please trouble sister-in-law."

Seeing Zhen Huan winking quietly, he stood up and walked out.

When he got outside, he stood still under the corridor, looked at Zhen Huan and said, "Brother asked me to come out, is there something wrong?"

"Fourth sister has lost weight these days." Zhen Huan was a little afraid to look at his sister's face, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of what he said to her that day.

If those words were spread, saying that he was reluctant to let his wife take care of his illness, it would be really embarrassing.

He glanced at Zhen Miao quietly, and felt a little distressed when he saw her tiredness could not be concealed between her brows.

The brothers and sisters were not very close since childhood, but blood is thicker than water. Seeing that the younger sister is getting more and more sensible, there is no reason not to feel distressed.

"From now on, let the eldest brother come over during the day. I have already asked for leave from the Imperial College."

The Guozijian, like the government office, started school after the [-]th of the first lunar month.

"Brother is a man after all, so it's not convenient for me to take care of my mother. Besides, I think my mother seems to have improved a lot."

Speaking of this, Zhen Huan nodded: "Yes, thanks to my sister for taking good care of me."

Speaking of this, his expression was a bit deep.

Seeing this, Zhen Miao asked, "Is there something else, big brother?"

Zhen Huan sighed and said, "The steward of the house has already gone to the pier to pick him up. I guess it won't be long before Second Aunt and Mo Yan's cousin will arrive."

When Zhen Miao heard this, her head grew dizzy.

Wen Yaqi's coffin is still there. She died unexpectedly and was underage, so she will not be able to do funerals, but how to bury her and where she will be buried will have to wait for someone from Haiding Mansion to make a decision.

What Zhen Miao was afraid of was that Wen's condition might worsen after seeing his second aunt and others.

"Brother, wait for aunt and cousin to come. Let's meet first. Mother, take a moment."

Zhen Huan nodded: "That's what I mean too, let your sister-in-law stay by your mother's side today, and you come with me to see my aunt and the others."

"Can sister-in-law hold on?" Zhen Miao was a little worried.

"A day and a half is fine."

Zhen Huan's brows were furrowed, and his expression was somewhat gloomy.

Zhen Miao lowered her eyes: "I heard that sister-in-law opened her face..."

There was no sound for a while, she raised her eyes, and saw that Zhen Huan's face was red, and she said in embarrassment: "Fourth sister, don't worry about this..."

Zhen Miao did not expect her elder brother to be so shy.

She just thought about the love between her eldest brother and Yu Shi, and now seeing Yu Shi's crooked body, and having a newcomer, she just felt sorry.

Zhen Huan knew what Zhen Miao was thinking, and he only went over to that open-faced maid when necessary. If he wanted to say that the only person in his heart was Yu Shi from the beginning to the end, but if he confessed like this, it was impossible for him to be right. Said to his own sister.

"Brother knows what's in his heart, that's all." Zhen Miao called out to Qing Dai, ordering her to pack a few tofu balls and radish cakes. "

"Brother, I made some food, and you have someone take it home for Lei Geer to eat."

Zhen Huan did not refuse, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Fourth Sister."

At this moment, Zisu came in from the outside, holding a red lacquer box in her hand: "Grandma, the son of the world has sent fried abalone again."

Zi Su's face is usually expressionless, but today it is a little reddish.

Zhen Miao knew that the fried abalone must have been delivered to Luo Bao first, and then passed on to Zisu, the two of them were already considered a fiancé couple, maybe Luo Bao said something to tease her.

Zhen Miao didn't pay attention to these things, opened it and saw that there were two floors inside, a total of 32 pieces, so she divided eight and sent them to the old lady, kept four for herself, and sent six to Minghuayuan and Fangfeiyuan. , and the rest of the brain was given to Lei Geer.

When the sun was setting in the west, the Wen family finally entered the mansion, and Zhen Huan and Zhen Miao went to meet them in person.

It was as if the second aunt Jiao's eyes were swollen like walnuts, supported by a young woman.

Wen Moyan's face was stern. When he saw Zhen Huan, he suddenly took a step forward, raised his fist and punched him. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
