Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 60
This cold winter seems to be over.

The sun shone warmly on the bustling city of Bianjing. In the streets of Kyoto, no matter the dignitaries or the beggars squatting on the side of the road, they all looked very comfortable.

In a small noodle shop on the side of the street, an elderly man in green cloth clothes with a firm face was eating vegetarian noodle soup.

Sitting next to him was a man about his age who was also eating noodles.The man was wearing a brown shirt, with a brown scarf wrapped around his hair.

However, if you look carefully, you will find that the man in brown clothes is quite respectful to the old man in green.It can also be found that although the old man is crowded in the restaurant to eat noodles, his gestures are quite gentle.

The small noodle restaurant they were in was the most prosperous among the nearby small restaurants during the period of eating Chaoshi because of its high quality and low price.

Some porters don’t need a stool at all, they just squat aside with a big bowl of noodles and gobble it up.

The old man in brown finished eating before the old man in green, and naturally lowered his hands, waiting for the old man in green.

After the old man in Tsing Yi finished eating, he unhurriedly took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and slowly wiped the corners of his mouth.

A haggard-faced woman with a basket on her shoulders peddled Hu Bing into the noodle shop in a low voice: "Selling Hu Bing, selling Hu Bing, three Wen for one, three Wen for one..."

No one bought her Hubing.Most of the people who squeeze into small noodle restaurants to eat noodles come here for high quality and low price. How can they still have spare money to buy Hubing?
The woman selling the mustard cakes carried a basket, squeezed past the old man in brown and the old man in blue, and quickly lowered her head and peddled away.

Her voice became lower and hoarse, and gradually faded away.

The old man in brown shook his head, seeing that the old man in blue was about to get up, he subconsciously offered to help him.

The old man in green was about to say no, but suddenly changed his mind and put his hand on the old man's in brown. The two walked through the crowd unhurriedly and came out.

Their carriage was waiting in an alley not far away.

The coachman was strong and strong, when he saw his master coming, he hurriedly moved the horse stool and helped the two old men into the carriage.

The carriage drove slowly out of the alley.

The old man in Tsing Yi suddenly took out a plain brocade bag from his sleeve.

The old man in brown has served the old man in green for many years, and at a glance, he can tell that this plain kit is not his master's property.

He has been with his master for many years, and he winked a little bit, suddenly said: "This is the woman who sold beard cakes just now..." But he frowned and said, "She used some heresy..." If the woman had hidden it in her sleeve just now What should I do if I stab the master with the dagger in my hand?

The old man in blue glanced at him indifferently, and the old man in brown closed his mouth wisely. He followed the master, and he had experienced some storms.The old man in Tsing Yi unwrapped the kit and found two folded papers inside.There is no need to untie one, it can already be seen that it is a blood book.

He is in a high position, and he has received quite a few blood letters over the years.

The brown-clothed old man worried again: "Master, let me do it..." I wondered if the paper was poisoned.

The old man in Tsing Yi said cautiously this time: "Let's go back to the yamen and solve it."

Although his temperament is hot-blooded, he is not reckless.

He tightened the bag again, put it in his sleeve, and told the old man in brown clothes: "Go and ask Song Langzhong from the Ministry of Industry."

Just now when we were eating noodles in the noodle shop, a group of strong craftsmen came in, and they talked about Song Langzhong from the Ministry of Industry, all of them were full of admiration and praise.It is said that since Song Langzhong became an official of the Ministry of Industry, they no longer have to worry about having no work to do.No, even if you come to a noodle shop to eat noodles, you don't need to pay on credit.The artisans and porters in the Lu State usually only get paid for their work. They work for a day's work and get a day's wages.And that day's wages have to be divided into various uses... It is a luxury for them to eat such a bowl of noodles.

Song Langzhong from the Ministry of Industry... He can save it.

The young craftsman that Su Bo tried his best to recommend, at a young age, he was going to be promoted to a sixth-rank official position.Although the Ministry of Industry is short of people, Song Jingxing is the number one craftsman that Su Bo values ​​so much.

But the more officials climbed out of the quagmire, the easier it is for officials to lose their way and do inappropriate things.

A stern cold light flashed in the eyes of the old man in Tsing Yi.

Changchun stood in the alley, watching the carriage gradually go away.

He still wanted to go back to Zhao's house to report this matter to his daughter, and was about to leave when he suddenly saw two familiar people walking towards the small noodle shop just now.

One of them is a handsome scholar like Zhilan Yushu, and the other is also a familiar person.Once you are familiar with Changchun, you can recognize it at a glance: Mr. Ning Yong, why did you come to this place?
Ning Yong has seen her before.Changchun immediately hid himself in the alley again.

But he saw Ning Yong leading his servant Zhou Quan, walking past the small noodle shop without looking sideways.

Changchun breathed a sigh of relief.

The four girls in my family were inquiring about the gossip in the capital, and inquiring about the lords who were in contact with their lords, but they didn't let themselves inquire about Ning Yong.

Changchun has been walking outside in the past few years, and he has won the true biography of Guanshi Hu, and he has long been a fine individual.

He only thought about it a few times, so as to save his fourth daughter, it is very likely that he likes the second son of the Ning family, Ning Yong, very much.It's probably because she likes her so much, so everything about Ning Yong is blinded by her shyness.

The fourth girl did not dare to inquire about Ning Yong.

In other words, she was unwilling to break the beautiful image of Ning Yong in her heart.

After all, the second gentleman of the Ning family is the most talented and promising one among the gentlemen of his own family.

Changchun also had to admit that he had met Ning Yong many times, and felt that he was more stable than other gentlemen.

It is reasonable for the fourth girl to fall in love with Ning Yong.

Although Changchun is a fine person, without the order of the fourth girl, he dare not inquire about the affairs of the Ning family without authorization.

Only when Miss Si asked him to inquire about Ning Yong's whereabouts, did he inquire about Mr. Ning Erlang a little bit.

It has to be said that Ning Yong is a very self-disciplined person. Apart from going to Chunguang Pavilion on weekdays, he is studying at home. Occasionally, he is invited to the home of a classmate who grew up together to discuss homework.

The interpersonal relationship is very simple, and there is no Yingyingyanyan who the fourth girl dislikes around her.

It can be said that the fourth girl has a good vision.

While Changchun was thinking, when he passed by a woman selling cooking cakes, he threw down a few copper coins and bought two hot and fragrant cooking cakes, and went back leisurely while nibbling on them.

That Zhouquan was a little vigilant, and looked around.He grew up in fields and forests, so he is still somewhat sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment.

Ning Yong glanced at him: "What's the matter?"

Zhou Quan said: "It seems that someone is secretly spying on Mr. Lang."

Ning Yong smiled lightly: "My behavior is not inappropriate, I am frank and frank, let him peep."

That's true.Zhou Quan relaxed his vigilance and followed the gentleman away.

Changchun was extremely busy.

She just returned to Zhao's house, and before she had time to report to Miss Si how things were going, Mei Ran was already waiting at the old place.

Today's weather is warm, Meiran changed back to a slightly thin spring shirt, with a thin waist and light girdle, a simple and elegant bun, and no makeup on her face, but she is charming and charming.She held a small package wrapped in sackcloth in her hand.

Changchun's heart was pounding, and he listened to Mei Ran's order: "The fourth girl ordered you to send another ten taels of silver to the craftsman who was injured yesterday."

Although Kanghuifang is a place where low-class people live, it also has broad prospects.

The sun slowly climbed over the sky, and Song Jingxing heard the news that Xiao Yang was seriously injured.
