Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 392

If you can think of one or two, and send someone to stay in advance, maybe you can catch it.

"Hey, it's useless to think so much, let's wait until tomorrow."

Recently, the yamen sent a lot of people dressed in plain clothes to go around.

If this person really lives in the town, he will be found out sooner or later!
Xiao Rongxi and Nan Zhen looked at each other without speaking.

They don't have a comprehensive understanding, so it's hard to talk about it, and it depends on the development of the situation.

Fang Yao was very serious when he was talking about the business, but now that he finished speaking, he returned to the state of being idle and indifferent to everything.

"Uncle Lin." She suddenly raised her voice and shouted, startling the people who were adding firewood.

Uncle Lin turned his head and stared at her, "What are you shouting, the pot is almost overturned."

Fang Yao said with a smile, "The beef here is not bad, it is expensive for a reason."

Uncle Lin rolled his eyes, "Otherwise, it's possible that I'm still doing bad business!"

He snorted and continued with his work.

Seeing that she had finished the last sip of noodle soup, Nan Zhen took out a few pieces of silver from her sleeve, put them on the table, and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Uncle Lin quickly found a copper coin and chased it out, "Hey, copper coins are not money, so if you don't want them, you don't want them?"

He stuffed it into Nan Zhen's hands, "I've been in business for so many years, but I've never been greedy for petty gains. Just count and see if the amount is right."

Nan Zhen glanced roughly and smiled, "No problem."

Just two steps forward, Nan Zhen suddenly stopped, "By the way, do you offer food delivery here? We're not hungry now, but just now we saw people eating and we were really hungry, so we want to taste it too."

Uncle Lin was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Where is the delivery?"

"Cloudside Inn."

"That's no problem," Uncle Lin patted his chest, "I'll bring it to the two of you when it's dinner time."

Nan Zhen handed him the copper coins again, "These will be used as travel expenses."

"No need..." Uncle Lin was about to decline, but a hand stretched out beside him and took the copper plate.

Fang Yao tossed it, and a few copper plates collided and rubbed against each other, making a slight sound, "I'm here to run errands. It just so happens that someone at home wants to buy books and is reluctant to spend money. Take these as my hard work."

After finishing speaking, seeing that neither Xiao Rongxi nor Nan Zhen had any objections, he put the copper coins in his pocket, hummed a little tune and left.

The back is long.

Uncle Lin glanced at them and said to the two, "Don't mind me, you two. I grew up with this child. She has a straight temper and doesn't like to beat around the bush, but she has a very good heart. not easy."

I have no children under my knees, and originally wanted to take her in as a goddaughter, but she was lucky, saying that she was afraid of bringing her own father under Huang Quan back to life, so she just talked nonsense and didn't agree.

But every time a foreigner came to the town, she would find a way to attract him and take care of his noodle shop business.

Xiao Rongxi smiled, and said in a warm voice, "It's okay, a sincere and straightforward person is the most worthy of friendship. Her temperament is very suitable for the two of us."

"That's good, that's good." Uncle Lin said repeatedly.

It took less than an hour for the two of them to go out, and when they returned to the Yunbian Inn, Guiming was still waiting outside foolishly, the melon seeds had already been cracked, and some melon seed skins were scattered around his feet.

Xiao Rongxi did not forget the promise he made when he went out, and divided half of the newly bought melon seeds with him, and also told him, "Eat less, you will get angry."

"En, um!" Gui Ming nodded hastily.

Fei Liu had already returned from the yamen, and was waiting for the two of them outside the room.

Xiao Rongxi stepped up the stairs, "Go into the room and talk."

When the door was closed, Fei Liu said, "Your Majesty, the files at the yamen are well kept. You need a special key to open them. I can't see them for the time being. But when I went, I happened to bump into someone in the yamen who was discussing about About the Water God Festival."

"What did you hear?"

Fei Liu: "The yamen attaches great importance to this matter, and they are looking for the real culprit in the open and in the dark. It seems that there is another plan."

Xiao Rongxi paused with the hand holding the teacup, "Continue."

Fei Liu shook his head, "They spoke very vaguely, with only a few words, they couldn't guess."

"When will it be implemented, is there any mention?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be tomorrow."

Xiao Rongxi frowned slightly, "Well, I see, you go down first."

"Yes."

"Crack, click, click."

There was the sound of cracking melon seeds at the side, Xiao Rongxi turned her head to look, and saw Nan Zhen wrestling with a plate of melon seeds, cracking very seriously.

He couldn't help smiling, got up and walked over, sat down beside her, folded his arms on her sleeves deliberately, "I want it too."

Nan Zhen was busy with her mouth, she only moved the plate in front of him, raised her chin, and signaled him to do it herself.

"I want to move."

Nan Zhen: "...too lazy for you."

Having said that, she still worked hard to peel a few, "Here you are."

Xiao Rongxi didn't answer, just stared at her and smiled.

Nan Zhen was stunned for two seconds, then understood what he meant, helpless and funny, she handed it to his mouth, "Come on."

Xiao Rongxi lowered her head, took the melon seeds in her mouth in satisfaction, and her thin lips inevitably touched her fingertips, making Nan Zhen shrink back unconsciously.

The two spent half an afternoon discussing in the room, until Fei Liu knocked on the door, saying that a person named Fang Yao had sent him over, and they got up and went downstairs.

……

The next day, the morning light was faint.

The people in Pingyu Town woke up early, opened their doors one after another after having breakfast, and took to the streets.

Everyone dressed up and headed to the river to celebrate the water god festival.

Xiao Rongxi and Nan Zhen are going to do as the Romans do, and they are also going to have a look.

When they arrived late, there were already many people around the river, and there was a high platform on the bank. The people on the platform were all wearing various masks, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

Xiao Rongxi stood with the shopkeeper and asked, "What is this for?"

The shopkeeper's attention was originally on the river bank, but when he heard the words, he retracted his gaze and said, "The high platform is praying for blessings. Do you see the ones on the left? Those dark blue or emerald green masks represent the subordinates of the water god; the red and black ones on the right are enemy.

In the generation of my ancestors, there was a year of severe drought, and the crops were almost killed by drought, but then guess what, the half-dry river was suddenly filled with water, and the people took the water from the river to irrigate, so that there was no water that year. There is a famine.In order to be grateful, the storyteller at that time made up such a story as an indispensable part of praying. "

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he made a waist-high height gesture, and recalled with interest, "I was only that little tall at the time, and my grandfather told me this."

As soon as the words fell, a casual voice came over, which was somewhat familiar, "Isn't that because the upstream gates were opened to release water, so the water line rose so high all of a sudden."

Fang Yao appeared out of nowhere and squeezed beside Nan Zhen, "Do you think I'm right?"
