Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

Chapter 273 273. Assassination?

The child stood on the shoulders of the two of them and tossed a target, and the surrounding applause followed.

Shen Xingqi was so excited, she took out a few copper coins from her purse and threw them over. Not long after, someone buried them in the ground to pick up the money.

"The capital city is indeed more prosperous than our Lin'an Prefecture."

"You like it here?"

"."

The little girl was silent for a while, then nodded and shook her head, "The capital city is indeed good, but I still prefer to stay in Shenjia Village."

It was a sense of belonging that rose from the bottom of my heart, which was never felt anywhere else.

Cheng Xi laughed, and couldn't help Rua rubbed her fluffy hair.

The next moment, she suddenly felt a familiar gaze fall on her body. She looked up and saw three people sitting by the window on the third floor of the tea house on the right. Shen Xingluo was one of them. ignore.

She chuckled, revealing the dimples on both sides of her cheeks.

"Hey brother Shen, there is a beautiful woman smiling at you!"

"Where is it? Hey, it turned out to be true."

"Brother Shen is indeed very popular. I'm afraid this face has attracted the hearts of many girls in Beijing."

"What I'm talking about is that maybe there will be a list to catch a son-in-law. It's a good story, isn't it?"

"The beauty downstairs is already good-looking, and such a smile adds a bit of freedom and ease. How did I not know that there is such a person in the capital?"

Everyone joked, Shen Xingluo didn't change his expression, "That's my wife."

"."

There was a moment of silence in the box of the teahouse, and the pot exploded after a while.

"So it's Mrs. Shen!"

"Brother Shen, you are not kind. I have known you for so long and still don't know that you are married to a wife?"

"Since there is a destiny today, why don't you invite your siblings to come up and talk about it?"

Seeing the surprised expression on the woman downstairs, Shen Xingluo nodded to her, and Cheng Xi said a few words to the little girl beside him and quickly walked into the teahouse.

The box door was knocked lightly.

After Cheng Xi opened the door, she walked in, met the four people in her eyes and said, Sure enough, she listened to the conversation in the room downstairs, and knew that there were three people besides Shen Xingluo.

"Husband?"

Shen Xingluo stood up and held her hand, "My wife, Cheng Xi. This is Qu Shaojing, the young master of Marquis Wu'an's residence, Qin Feng, the eldest grandson of the Qin family, and Du Yuansong, the son of Master Du."

"I've met a few."

"Siblings."

Several people returned the salute solemnly, their expressions were much more serious than when they talked just now.

Qu Shaojing looked curiously and revealed his inner thoughts, Qin Feng looked easy-going with a smile on his face, but Du Yuansong was a bit more embarrassing with his stable heart.

"I'll call you Mrs. Shen from now on."

Cheng Xi laughed when he thought of the messy names of the Shen family and the Du family.

Du Yuansong sighed helplessly, the air in the box was a little more casual because of the two of them.

"Where is Master Qin Zheng?"

"I know this! He went to the Qin Mansion early in the morning with moon cakes, and he doesn't have time to chat with us today."

It was Qu Shaojing who spoke, "I don't know where he bought the mooncakes. I just said hello to him and I smelled a sweet smell. I'm afraid I'll snatch them away. I can't be stingy."

"." There is no need to be so exaggerated.

Cheng Xi glanced at Shen Xingluo and didn't speak.

As female family members, it was the first time to meet several people, and everyone was somewhat restrained. After saying hello and chatting over a cup of tea, they dispersed when they learned that there were still female family members of the Shen family downstairs.

On the way back, Shen Xingluo told about their relationship one by one.

"Qin Zheng's game?"

"Yes, brother Qin has been busy these few days."

Only then did Cheng Xi realize that the two of them were away from home in the past few days because they participated in this bureau and that bureau, such as the Qin Zheng Friend Bureau, the Lin'an Prefecture Student Bureau, the Guozijian Scholars Bureau, etc.
Her ears were calloused.

But in the end, the only ones who caught my eye were the few people in the box just now.

Oh, and there is also Yuhe Pavilion in Liuzhou.

"Thanks a lot."

So much communication, must be tired.

Shen Xingluo chuckled, "The experience experience is also good."

In his previous life, he failed to reach this step, but in this life, his dream has come true. It is indeed a different kind of experience.

"So you also saw Yu Heting these few days?"

"That's right, those people who were left in Wuzhen arrived in the capital yesterday."

"...are they okay?"

"It is inevitable that their mood will be affected. If this experience can let them know that their brains are not good enough, they don't have to worry about the family's honor and disgrace in the future."

"." With such a poisonous mouth, it's also surprising that she hasn't been beaten to death yet.

***
Early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Xingluo ordered Su Zhan to send the gift boxes of mooncakes to Wu'anhou's Mansion, Qin's Mansion and Yu Heting's brother's residence respectively.

Because the Du family had already sent it away, it would be unreasonable for the other three families not to send it away.

This day, everyone in the Shen family went about their work step by step as usual, but since the morning, it has been unusual.

First, Fu Guang led Mr. Xu to knock on the wooden door of the small courtyard, and then Cheng Daqian came on horseback with a loud voice that almost knocked over the roof of the second small courtyard, and Cheng Xi was startled.

So the Shen family immediately became lively.

Cheng Xi was always happy, Wang Shu was also happy, and the Shen brothers and sisters were even more happy to see Cheng Xi so happy.

"Su Zhan, go buy something for me, let's have a good reunion festival tonight!"

"Yes, Ma'am, don't worry, this subordinate will do it now."

Su Zhan quickly went out with a note with the menu on it, walked right through the alley and went straight to the largest vegetable market in the capital, while Cheng Xi led the two girls into the kitchen.

Mooncakes are essential for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Except for the snowy mooncakes, other ones are more delicious when they are hot, so they are put at the end.

Cheng Xi brought a piece of the best pork tenderloin and planned to make a spicy boiled pork slice.

Slice the pork tenderloin, take out another bowl, mix the egg white, flour, salt, and cooking wine to make a paste, and spread it on the meat slices to marinate it.

Take a piece of cabbage and separate the crisp and tender leaves, wash and slice the ginger, cut the scallion and put it on the side, and then all the ingredients are ready.

"Let's heat up the oil."

Cheng Xi stir-fried the hot watercress bean sauce with oil in a pan, then put in the washed cabbage leaves, scallion, ginger, soy sauce and other seasonings, and rolled them evenly for a few times to mix them thoroughly. scent.

"Hiss—this smell is too overbearing."

"Xiaoxi is cooking again? It's been a long time, the old man has to taste it tonight."

"Mr. Xu, don't worry, my daughter will definitely cook you a good meal!"

A table was set up in the yard, and the two elders had already had a drink with each other before dark.

Cheng Xi added the marinated meat slices to the pot, simmered for a while, waited for the meat slices to be cooked before serving them up, sprinkled the chopped dried chili and prickly ash powder, and finally poured the reheated oil on the meat slices to make them tingle. There was a sound.

The smell of seasoned oil spread out again, and was carried to every corner of the small courtyard by the autumn wind.

Fragrant to death.

Fortunately, the owner next door has already gone to the Qin family's main house two streets away for the holiday, otherwise he would definitely come to the door by smell.

"dinner's ready."

The dining table in the small courtyard is full of tables.

Boiled pork slices, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, fried fungus with yam, scrambled eggs with shrimp, shredded chicken, stir-fried rapeseed
After the three members of the Shen family and the two elders were seated one after another, Wang Shu, Fu Guang and Su Zhan also chose a corner to sit down.

Elder Xu couldn't wait for a long time. As the oldest person, he first picked up the chopsticks to start with the boiled pork slices, and narrowed his eyes when he entered.

"The meat tastes spicy, soft and easy to chew, and it is not old at all. It is indeed my apprentice's skill!"

"Eat more vegetables when you are old, and the cabbage leaves in the side dishes are also very good."

"really?"

Mr. Xu picked up a piece of cabbage leaf with his second chopsticks, "Well—it's really fresh and tender, but this cabbage is much hotter than sliced ​​meat."

Fun!

It's too spicy.

This kind of spiciness is not the same as the spicy hot pot I have eaten before. The layers are more distinct, and the heat of the meat and vegetables is more accurately controlled.

How can Cheng Daqian wait after seeing this?
"I'll try it too."

He poured down the fruit wine in the bowl in one gulp, picked up the sliced ​​boiled meat with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth, and narrowed his eyes in enjoyment the next second.

The autumn wind blowing into the small courtyard brought a bit of coolness, and it was very appropriate to eat some spicy food at this time. One person and one chopstick went down and the whole body quickly warmed up, and the coolness just now was gone.

On the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight is amazingly bright.

After dinner, the dishes were removed, a few candles were lit and moon cakes were served, but the fruit wine stayed on the wooden table from beginning to end.

Cheng Daqian took his daughter and chatted for a few words before exhorting him.

"Girl, don't bully uncle in the future."

Cheng Xi's expression gradually became numb, he turned to look at his master, and heard the old man speak too.

"Have you been playing silly these days? You have memorized the books I handed you, have you read all the letters?"

"." There is still such a big man in the courtyard, can you not see it! ! !
***
At the end of August, the additional test, which was neither called Chun Wei nor Qiu Wei, arrived as scheduled.

The examination was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the place of the examination was set at the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites in the capital. Du Yunshan, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was one of the invigilators.

As for the chief examiner, it was Zhou Xiang.

"Madam may call it a trial."

"Okay, if you know how to try, you will try."

Cheng Xi said that she didn't choose, "This exam is divided into three sessions, and each session lasts for three days. I'll go, this is a life-threatening rhythm."

She stared at the "examination rules" speechless.

"What kind of test paper can someone do for three days? You ancients really dare to think."

Is this selecting a top student or a top martial artist?
No wonder that Xue Xiuwen gave up the exam. Normal people don't necessarily stay for nine days as soon as they enter.

"I think the major academies will have to add a subject of psychology in the future. In our place, if a person can live alone in a room for seven days, he is a god."

How much of a mental and intellectual challenge must this be?
Cheng Xi's pitiful eyes were too substantive, Shen Xingluo was more speechless than her, "This is how scientific examinations have been done for thousands of years, it's not easy to be an official."

"I have learned the lesson."

She said, "Do you need to prepare some food for you? How about instant noodles and fast food? You have to bring in the small stove and charcoal fire? Is bread okay?"

"I can prepare it myself."

Shen Xingluo was helpless, "Madam forgot, I can get food in the space."

"That's right, there was no monitoring in ancient times."

Cheng Xi slapped his forehead, and the worry in his heart disappeared instantly, "But I still have to bring something to save face."

But does that matter?
Not important, really not important.

So in the first round of the test, she took Shen Xingqi and carried Feng'er to personally send him to the Tribute Court of the Ministry of Rites. Yu Heting expressed his thanks repeatedly, and Shen Xingluo, who was dressed in civilian clothes, carried a basket and quickly disappeared among the densely packed students preparing for the exam. .

Shen Xingqi, who didn't know, sighed, "My brother's health has always been very good, so he should be able to persevere?"

"Of course, you have to trust him."

"Well, I believe, brother is invincible!"

"." Where did you hear the word invincible?
Until the blue color could no longer be seen in sight, the eyes of the little boy in Cheng Xi's arms became tearful, "Brother, brother!"

"Your brother is going to take an exam, and he will be back soon."

"Feng'er is waiting for my brother to come back."

"Yes, really nice"

The moment Shen Xingqi turned around, she forgot her brother, "Feng'er, Feng'er, can I let my sister hug me?"

"Feng'er hugs my sister."

The little guy seemed to still remember the kindness of chicken legs at that time, and he liked Shen Xingqi very much, so he fell towards her with his hands.

Cheng Xi actually didn't have much patience with children, so he simply handed over this little trouble.

***
The exam lasts for nine days, and it is miserable for most students. If you are lucky enough to encounter the toilet neighbor, it is like buying a lottery ticket.

"Looks like you're in luck."

"It's really good, Ma'am, don't worry."

"Instead of worrying about you, you might as well worry about those students who are in the same class as you."

Anyone who is full of ambition and ready to display his talents will lament the unfairness of fate when he encounters a monster, okay?
Cheng Xi flashed out of the space after making a deluxe sandwich for him every day, and went out alone when she saw Shen Xingqi playing with Feng'er in the courtyard.

Shen Xingqi's scientific examination was smoother than expected, and the position was impartial, so there was nothing to be picky about. Three meals a day were smuggled into the country, and occasionally they lit a fire to cook a pack of fragrant instant noodles. Don't enjoy life too much.

But the students at the left and right ends of him were in a miserable situation. They gnawed on cold steamed buns and were frequently tempted by delicacies, but they still had to concentrate on answering the questions with their pens. The MMP in their hearts had already swiped the screen.

If there is a barrage, it is probably an overlay mode, right?

Cheng Xi walked on the road and smiled very unkindly.

"Oh, it really makes me happier when I see other people being unlucky~"

She wasn't like this before.

Fallen. Fallen.

The next second, the sound of weapons fighting entered his ears, and Cheng Xi's heart shuddered. Turning the corner, he saw a dozen men in black besieging a man in blue brocade.

The sword in the man in black's hand was unambiguous at all, and he greeted the opponent with a posture of killing him.

The people under siege were not weak in martial arts, but they couldn't resist punching the old master to death, and they were stabbed in the arm with a sword, and their facial features were exposed to Cheng Xi's eyes in a panic.

"!"

Fuck, or an acquaintance?
Cheng Xi, who was going to watch the play, had to sigh and walked over in a few steps.

"Everyone, how about a discussion, I bought this man's life, what price do you guys offer?"

If you can't do it, don't do it. Problems that can be solved with money are not considered big problems.

Cheng Xi doesn't have any cards in the capital, and she doesn't want to use force here at all. Offending people in the imperial power era is very troublesome. She can't sneak into people's houses in the middle of the night and kill them, right?
