Sometimes the palace is sunny

The menstrual Emperor Zhaode not only wanted to eat roasted leg of lamb, he could also eat it in different ways, baked into a golden and crispy pancake, made with eggs and noodles, seasoned with sesame seeds and peppercorns, and cut it open with a knife. Soft, white and tender, crispy and delicious on the outside, sliced ​​roasted leg of lamb dipped in thick cumin was sandwiched inside, biting down, the thick oil and water were sucked away by the bread, adding a little extra Delicious.

It was not enough to have the meat in the noodles, Zhao Surui also ordered a mutton head with green onions by name.

Knowing that he ate too much at this time, Tunan gave him another six side dishes of two hot and four cold dishes, plus a small bowl of rice wine stewed eggs.

This rice wine was specially bought by Tu Nan from the Nanhuo shop. First, he boiled the black beans and eggs together, and then soaked the eggs in the warm rice wine when they were cooked black.

The dark eggs made Emperor Zhaode's mouth look like a duck. If he hadn't heard that this would make his menstruation less uncomfortable, he wouldn't eat it.

Gritting his teeth with his eyes closed, he took a bite, only to find that it was still edible—Tunan had put some sugar in it.

I don't know if it's the rice wine that invigorates the blood, or the dark black bean eggs are really useful, after eating it, I sat on the bed hugging the quilt for a while, and Zhao Surui felt a little refreshed.

It just so happened that Admiral Zhuangzi had recorded all of this year's harvest, and sent it along with the new year's goods.

Looking at the brochure, and then at the woman standing aside, Zhao Surui raised his eyebrows:

"You are Chuiyun, you used to serve me by my side?"

"Yes, on the day the girl was in the procuratorate, the slaves were there, but they never spoke to the girl."

The woman in a lotus-colored jacket with money patterns lowered her head, with a slight smile on her face.

"Haven't you already been released to get married? A Chi said that you are now a woman, why do you still call yourself a slave?"

"The servant has been with the wife since she was five years old, and she has been with the girl since she was nine years old. She has been a maidservant for the girl for 20 years. It is more intimate to call herself this way in front of the girl."

The characters on the account book are beautiful and neat, very similar to A Chi's characters, but a bit more skillful than A Chi's characters. It can be seen that A Chi's hand-hairpin Xiaokai was taught by the woman in front of him.

Counting her age, this Chuiyun is nearly thirty years old, her words and demeanor are graceful, and her every action is just right. If she doesn't say anything, no one will be able to tell that she was born as a maid, but it reminds him of the female officials in the palace. The women are all from good families who come from a scholarly family, compared with Chuiyun, they are probably inferior.

The maid beside Shen Sanwas is really outstanding.

Zhao Surui leaned on the armrest of the literary chair, and put the small hand stove on his stomach.

"How do you think I manage this village?"

"Miss Guan Zhuangzi has clear rewards and punishments, and she is decisive in dealing with things. She has the demeanor of my wife in the past."

Ouch, this is boasting of myself.

Zhao Surui immediately found the hanging cloud pleasing to the eye.

Tunan, Peifeng and Achi, among the three girls, Tunan seldom talk, and occasionally they talk too much, which makes him angry. Peifeng is very dull when it comes to flattering horses, and Achi talks a lot, but he Love to listen to less.

Now there's finally someone to talk to!

Zhao Surui was satisfied in his heart, but didn't show it on his face, and continued to look at the booklet in his hand.

The main thing to look at was the days when he entered Yanjing City. Seeing that Zhuangzi's expenditure was still safe, he nodded.

"The girl is not here, Peifeng not only leads the men to practice, but also leads them to repair canals and build houses every day, and the daily life is also lively."

"That's not bad. People tend to slack off in winter. Let them have something to do and avoid causing trouble."

Having stayed in the barracks, Zhao Surui knows that the days are short and the nights are long in winter, it is difficult to get soldiers out of the camp for drills, and when people are free, troubles are inevitable, fighting is a trivial matter, and what is even more unbearable is that it is dirty to even think about it. brain.

Waving his hand to make himself forget the nasty things he had heard from those veterans, Zhao Surui looked through the account book and looked at Chuiyun again.

"Before Tunan said that you went to do things for me, she didn't know if there were too many, A Chi should have told you that I forgot all the past, tell me, what did I ask you to do before?"

Chuiyun took out a beautiful bag from his pocket, which contained two envelopes.

"The servant delivered letters for the girl. One letter was delivered to Princess Yueqing's residence, and the other letter was delivered to Master Shi. Although there were some twists and turns on the way, the servant finally got everything done."

Looking at the two replies, Zhao Surui's heart skipped a beat.

Master Shi?Shi asked policy?
It turned out that he already knew the grievances Shen Sanfu had suffered all these years, no wonder he cried like that in the prison.

Thinking of Shi Wence sobbing like a black tower, Zhao Surui couldn't hold back, and put his hands on his forehead.

My brain hurts!My brain hurts!Forget it!Forget it!
Looking at the two envelopes again, Zhao Surui was a little proud. Shen Sanwai must have some kind of conspiracy behind him, just like her hidden gunpowder prescriptions and those ciphertexts that he couldn't understand, maybe she kept putting them in front of him. So, he couldn't get in.

Now, with these two replies, he finally got a key.

Hehehe, when he pulls out Shen Sanfei's hidden things, he wants to see if that traitor can still maintain that flat face and speak eccentric words!

Thinking of this, Zhao Surui's actions became solemn instead, he picked up an envelope with the pattern of double carps printed on it, carefully tore off the seal on it, and pulled out the letter.

The letter paper is thin.

There don't seem to be many words.

Looking at the window, Zhao Surui opened the letter paper without seeing any special marks.

"I see."

Just four words.

Not only did it not look up, it didn't even sign the money.

After reading these four characters horizontally and vertically four or five times, Zhao Surui stretched his neck and asked Chuiyun:
"Whose reply is this?"

"Reply girl, it's a letter from Princess Yueqing."

Princess Yueqing?His little aunt?Just reply these four words to Shen Sanfei's letter?
Zhao Surui took a deep breath, and picked up another envelope. This envelope was much rougher at first glance, and the glue on the seal was not evenly applied. Zhao Surui became impatient, and lifted the dog's paw to tear the envelope open.

There are too many words on the letter paper—seven.

"I know, don't worry."

As usual, there is no title, no signature, not even a stamp.

What can this tell?
Zhao Surui still didn't give up, and looked at Chuiyun again: "What else did they tell you?"

Chuiyun backed away when he opened the letter, still smiling at this time: "Girl, Princess Yueqing said that she will be able to do what the girl asked her to do, so she can rest assured. As for Master Shi, he didn't say anything. What, just after receiving the letter, he was eager to go back to Beijing, just to explain the things in the stockade. Less than half a month later, Master Yao wrote to say that he was recalled to Beijing by His Majesty, so Master Shi set off together. "

This also didn't say anything.

Feeling depressed, Zhao Surui didn't forget to follow Chuiyun's advice to calculate the time. Chuiyun left after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Shi Wence only returned to Beijing at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.

After coming and going, it turned out to be more than three months.

"How do you know Shi Wen... where is Uncle Shi?"

"Girl, you said before that Mr. Shi is not idle. When the servants arrived in Guizhou, they asked everywhere if there was a black tower-like Han who taught people to read and treat people. After asking for half a month, they got the news in Tongren Mansion. When we arrived in Puding County, the county magistrate Lord Lu and Master Shi made friends, and specially sent someone to Bijiewei to look for Master Shi with the servant girl and his wife. When the servant girl found Master Shi, Master Shi was teaching a group of Luoluo people to read and write."

Ever since I entered Guizhou, I began to ask questions. Xunzhen visited the village. It was not like the Central Plains, where the forest was densely covered with dangerous mountains and rivers, and the densely populated barbarians often plundered the Han people. Under such circumstances, how could this Chuiyun and her husband He was able to cross the entire Guizhou to search for stones and ask for advice.

With such talents, it is enough to be a scout in the army!

Zhao Surui looked at Chuiyun again, with a more solemn expression.

"You are persevering and capable."

Chuiyun still smiled: "Since the girl has explained the matter to Chuiyun, Chuiyun will naturally do it well."

"Your name is Chuiyun, what's your surname?"

"The servant's surname is Xue."

Xue Chuiyun is really an impressive name.

Zhao Surui nodded, and made a note of it in his heart.

This is a loyal and useful talent!

Putting the small copper hand stove on one side, he sat up slightly.

"Do you know what was written in my two letters?"

"The letter that the girl asked the servant to send must be extremely important, and the servant dare not open it lightly."

——It doesn't have to be so loyal and easy to use.

Without asking what he wanted to know, Zhao Surui paused again.

Three letters, Shen Sanfei sent out three letters, the first one was for the nearest Aunt Liu to solve her urgent needs, the second one, and the third one, what exactly did she want to do?
and many more……

Zhao Surui picked up the reply letter from Princess Yueqing to Shen Sanwao again.

There is nothing in this letter, but these four words alone show some intimacy.

The relationship between his little aunt and Shen Sanfei is by no means a casual acquaintance.

Thinking of this episode, Zhao Surui quickly recalled the few words that A Chi told him about Princess Yueqing in the past.

Pigment, cloth dyeing, dyeing workshop...

"Chuiyun, did I ask you to send some dye recipes to Princess Yueqing?"

Chuiyun raised his head slightly, with surprise on his face: "Girl, do you remember?"

Zhao Surui was proud: "Then the letter that Princess Yueqing communicated with me in the past, is it in your place?"

Chuiyun shook his head again: "The girl has no correspondence with Princess Yueqing."

Zhao Surui: "Then how did Princess Yueqing and I get in touch with each other?"

"The girl and Princess Yueqing have nothing to do with each other, but the girl heard that Princess Yueqing built a dyeing workshop and a weaving workshop to help homeless women settle down, so she sent some dye recipes to the girl. Princess Yueqing gave the girl a sum of interest every year. Keep the money for the girl, and only occasionally buy some painting materials for the girl to enter the house."

"Silver?" Hearing these two words, Zhao Surui became energetic again, even if he couldn't know Shen Sanwei's secret, it would be good for him to dig up Shen Sanwei's treasury!

"How much silver did I put with you?"

"Miss, don't worry, the maidservant, according to the girl's instructions, exchanged the silver for books long before leaving for the southwest, and bought thousands of volumes."

Zhao Surui: "..." That's thousands of books!Worth several thousand taels of silver!his silver!
Holding on to the table, Zhao Surui suddenly felt his blood rushing down.

Definitely pissed off.

This maid named Chuiyun seems to be very useful.

Why can't he use it?

The wise and mighty Emperor Zhaode suddenly felt aggrieved in his heart.

"Forget it, you back down." Zhao Surui felt that if Xue Chuiyun stood in front of him again, he would accuse Shen Sanwao again.

Chuiyun retreated, Zhao Surui called Tunan again.

"Bring Xie Lin'an here alone, and don't let Xie Feng'an know about it." He ordered.

Tu Nan went, and a moment later, the ragged Xie Linan knelt down to salute him as soon as he entered the room.

"Xie Lin'an, tell me in detail about your Xie family's rebellion."

Zhao Surui played with the hand stove in his arms, with a smile on his face.

Luo Luo: The name given to the Yi people in the Ming Dynasty.

Siri Zhao: This hanging cloud!hard to use!
