Chapter 129
Bring another copy for each family member, such a breakfast is only about [-] Wen.

Twenty Wen is enough for them to buy two cakes on Peony Street in front.

Eating like this is cheaper than cooking at home.

And this takeaway doesn't use bowls, they are all higher-grade bamboo bowls than those in the small stall outside. If you add a penny, these bamboo bowls don't have to be sent back.

Chen Xiaoli felt that this restaurant was very kind, and he worried about whether they could make money for them, but he still decided to come to Anjia Fried Chicken Restaurant for breakfast in the future.

An Xu didn't stay in the store all the time after eating, he asked Partridge to pack a steamed bun with fish porridge and meat, and went out.

The magpie wanted to follow, but she didn't let her go. She got into the carriage and said, "Go to Zhang Yuan."

The coachman also went to the shop to eat just now, and he was resting on the carriage full at this time, when the lady came out, he quickly jumped out of the carriage, and when he heard that he was going to Zhangyuan, he asked, "Miss wants to see Xue Master?"

"Partridges and magpies are busy," An Xu said in it.

The coachman drove the car and said with a smile: "Miss just has a good heart. I heard that Xue's family doesn't care much about Young Master Xue."

All the way without saying a word, passing through the crowd on the street, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Zhang Yuan facing the street.

An Xu got out of the car, only to see a carriage parked in front of this door, not the Xue family's carriage, it should be another family seeking medical treatment.

As soon as An Xu entered the door, several boys in Zhang Yuan who were identifying medicinal materials in the front yard recognized her and shouted: "Miss An, Master Xue was picked up by his family yesterday afternoon, no one told you ?"

An Xu: "How did you pick him up? Isn't his stomach still fully healed?"

"Our master said that there is no need for the doctor to keep watch," said a medicine boy, "The people from Xue's family asked to take someone back, but the second master of our family will still go to check the pulse at noon every day."

An Xu looked at the breakfast in his hand, couldn't he go to Xue's house to deliver the meal?
So he handed the breakfast to the drug boy, "You guys eat these porridge and steamed stuffed buns."

Although the drug boy had already had breakfast, he smelled the strong aroma of porridge and the scent of steamed buns bursting with wheat, so he quickly took it in his hand.

"Thank you Miss An."

The boys said in unison.

After that, it was all right, An Xu asked the coachman to drive back to Zhuangyuan Mansion.

At this time, there were already guests gathered in front of the gate of Ji Mansion, An Xu looked at them and found that they were all men.

When going out, Zong Che didn't say anything, and An Xu didn't intend to prepare a concubine gift for the family either.

The carriage on their side went directly into the gate of the mansion, but it still attracted the attention of some people who came over there to give gifts. A middle-aged man with a shy belly and a fat head asked the accountant of the Ji family: "The carriage that went in just now is Zong The female relatives of the adult family?"

The two families are neighbors, and the accountant knew a little better, and said, "Yes, didn't you just get married yesterday?"

The middle-aged man obviously had nothing else to do, and then he asked: "It must be the best in the world to make Mr. Zong so anxious to ask for a marriage?"

The accountant thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's about average."

A person beside him said: "It looks average, but according to my wife, the skin is white and tender, otherwise, can it charm the young master of the Shen family?"

"what's up?"

Several people became interested.

It wasn't the time when Ji Chengyu married the second wife, and those who could rush over to give gifts at this time were mostly not colleagues of the imperial court, but basically wealthy businessmen and celebrities.

Seeing that so many people were interested, the man glanced at Zhuangyuan Mansion and said, "Go in and talk about it."

His wife is a distant family member of the Shen family, and she was unable to enter the gate of the Shen family before. She was invited in to celebrate the birthday of the third grandfather that day, so she saw such a scene.

This man's wife went home and told him, and he immediately understood what the Shen family meant, and asked again, among the female relatives who were let in that day, there were even lower status than his family, and even some poor distant relatives were let in for a feast. He knew what it meant.

In the past two days, there has been a lot of disparaging and even insulting words outside.

"Master Zong is really not picky. No matter how much he wants to repay his kindness, he can't marry such a person who pesters Young Master Shen without a word."

When Ji's maid came to serve tea, she always felt inappropriate when she heard these few words.

But at this time the wife was not at home, and she had no one to report.

While the bustle and bustle outside was still there, the emperor in the palace became furious, and threw two impeachment papers on Shen Xiao's head below, and then reprimanded him all over his face.

The general idea is, I think of the former emperor and the queen mother, who treated your Shen family very favorably. You don't think about your kindness, and even secretly provide convenience for the eldest prince to collect money. You also made friends with Lu Shiren, who had already been assigned, and returned to Beijing for their family. contribute.

What do you want to do?Looking forward to making room for the First Prince soon?

These words were so heavy that Shen Xiao knelt down on the ground and dared not refute a word.

Emperor Shuntai had long wanted to show off his eldest son's ignorance, but when the Shen family bumped into him at this time, he was not polite to kill chickens and monkeys.

Immediately ordered that the Marquis position of the Shen family be cut off, and Shen Xiao should be asked to replace Lu Shiren who had come back from the southwest.

The Shen family has several generations of veterans, and they have a lot of contacts in Beijing. Seeing that His Majesty punished them so severely, several ministers immediately stood up to help speak out.

So Shen Xiao failed to be relegated, but was expelled from the Hanlin Academy, and was called to sit on a cold bench in the Ministry of War.

The marquis of the Shen family didn't lose all, but was demoted to a lower level.

Emperor Shuntai gave face to the veterans, he lifted it up to the Shen family and put it down lightly, but closed the door and scolded the second princess and his wife almost out of character.

When he came out of the palace again, the position of the second son-in-law was removed.

At the same time, there was a decree from the palace that almost made the second son-in-law a public enemy. In order to prevent non-royal people from interfering in royal affairs, several son-in-laws who held positions in the court had to be handed over within a month. , From now on, the son-in-law will never be allowed to enter the court again.

With such a rule, the former son-in-law, who used to gain both fame and power, and who claimed to be a relative of the emperor with no guilt at all, suddenly became an existence similar to a private son-in-law.

On this day, it's not about the joys and sorrows of some families, but the sorrow of your family and the sorrow of others.

After hearing the news from the palace, Mrs. Shen, whose heart was brightened because of An Xu's ruined reputation outside, suddenly fainted again.

This time the dizziness was real, the Shen family invited the grand master of Zhang Yuan to give him several needles, and Old Shen Furen woke up slowly.

Opening his eyes, he saw the emaciated grandson who was already beside the bed. Tears kept falling from the sunken eye sockets of Mrs. Shen.

"Xiao'er, our family has always been well-behaved, why did we give such a big punishment?" Mrs. Shen said inarticulately.

Shen Xiao was as calm as yesterday, and said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, and my grandson dare not speculate."

Looking at her grandson who seemed to have lost all energy, Mrs. Shen was filled with hatred and anger, and her breathing became unsteady.

Mr. Zhang, who was packing up the medicine box and was about to leave, reminded: "It's better for the old lady to be calm. If she gets angry again, she may have a stroke, and it won't be cured at that time."

Mrs. Shen: ----

Zong Che just left the cabinet when the night came up. He walked briskly with his hands behind his back. After leaving the palace, he pulled out his horse, turned over and jumped onto the horse's back.

The two red lanterns hanging high outside the Zhuangyuan Mansion appeared in front of my eyes. They were red and bright. The lanterns were the same as before, but Zong Che felt different when he saw them.

There were lively voices coming from the next door, which meant that the banquet hadn't ended yet.

A guard came over to lead the horse, and while walking behind into the mansion, he said: "Master, the person invited next door today is the Yuanzong of the Shen family, who said a lot of things that were not good for the eldest lady."

Zong Che still walked with his hands behind his back, and said, "Leave some ants alone, lest it be too obvious."

The guard answered yes.

"By the way, did you find the literati you were asked to find earlier?"

The guard replied: "There are a few suitable ones. There is another one who comes from the same place as the old lady of the Shen family's natal family."

"Find a few people and give hints." Zong Che said, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "It's definitely not easy for a girl who can go from an ordinary farmer to a daughter-in-law of the Marquis Mansion. Among them, there must be some There are so few nice stories. Let’s inquire together and have fun digging out what happened back then.”

"This subordinate will do it."

Zong Che waved his hand, "Go."

At this time, he hastened a few steps, and he had already reached the door of the room. Under the bright light, the woman was spinning.

"What are you doing?" Zong Che walked in and asked amusedly.

He remembered that more than three years ago, she also collected some camel wool and cashmere for a long time, and wanted to spin the thread, but it kept breaking, so she made some cashmere material, that's all.

An Xu raised her head and saw Zong Che walking in from the darkness. The handsome face that reflected the light from the darkness gave her another surprise.

An Xu lifted up the thread that had already been made, and stopped looking at the face that was more likely to seduce people, and said, "It's boring, I want to try to make it again."

It's not that she has no clothes to wear. After cooperating with many silk and satin houses on cashmere and camel's hair materials, she has a way to get some rare materials.

It's just that although cashmere and camel hair are beautiful, they are only suitable for coats.

Nowadays, there are no blends, so rich people wear silk underwear, and poor people can wear cotton underwear.

An Xu is rich now, but silk underwear is not suitable at all times. It is not as comfortable to wear cotton in winter, but cotton is not as comfortable as velvet and elastic.

She just wanted to try to make something like autumn clothes.

However, in order to increase the elasticity, a chemical substance is needed. An Xu has no knowledge of that, and knows that he will have to explore it for several years, and may even be unable to find it in a lifetime.

So I just thought about whether the wool can be trimmed, especially the ultra-fine wool, which can be a little elastic when knitted into a sweater.

Will there be comfortable underwear to wear by then?

Moreover, coral fleece and milk fleece, which are more popular in the modern market, may also be made of cashmere.

In terms of cashmere, there is still a lot to do.

An Xu has always carried some washed cashmere with her. The fried chicken shop has successfully opened, and her own task has been completed. After reading today's account, she remembered this thing.

Zong Che pulled a stool and sat down, stretched out his hand and stretched the thread that An Xu had spun, "Isn't it the same as before? Look, it still breaks even if you try hard."

As he spoke, a stubble emerged from his two slender fingers, and he immediately retracted his hand.
