Traveling through time as a mother and daughter, infrastructure and delicious food are still the sam

Chapter 2 Master Zhou Was Arrested

The time came to the second day, and whether it was because of the torment yesterday or the poison in this body, Zhou Yuncheng felt very tired and slept dreamlessly until dawn.

When I opened my eyes again, I was still in a daze, not knowing where I was for a while.

"Miss, are you awake?" A gentle female voice came: "This is the dessert my wife made for you this morning, do you want to get up and try it now?"

lady?Zhou Yuncheng recalled all that happened yesterday: Oh, I have time-traveled, and I met another lady who also time-traveled.

While thinking about it, he stood up and replied, "Is Madam at home?"

"Yes, she said she would come to see you later." The little girl replied.

Zhou Yuncheng looked at the talking girl and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Xing'er, I just arrived in Miss' room." Xing'er brushed her body and said.

"Just arrived?" Zhou Yuncheng asked, "Where did the maid from before go?"

"Xing'er doesn't know," Xing'er replied with her head lowered, "I only heard from the housekeeper that the service in the Miss's courtyard was not good, which made the Miss suffer such a big crime. What the Master and Mrs. mean is the people inside and out. Just replace them all."

Replaced them all?Zhou Yuncheng became suspicious: Could it be that he couldn't ask how the righteous master was poisoned?

Before she could figure it out, Zhou Yuncheng had already seen the cream cake on the table.

"This?" Zhou Yuncheng wondered: Am I in a chaotic era? Can things like cream cakes appear?

"Madam made this herself," Xing'er said, "Madam was a very famous cook before, but she hasn't cooked for a long time, she said this time Miss suffered a big crime, so she should not eat something good. "

Zhou Yuncheng took a closer look. This is actually the simplest chiffon cake. It was divided into three pieces and filled with cream and fruit as interlayers. Then, light green cream was spread on top and some fruits were decorated.Well, there are actually gingerbread men, madam, good taste.As Zhou Yuncheng thought about it, he picked up the spoon, dug a large spoonful and put it in his mouth.

"Delicious!" Zhou Yuncheng blurted out, "The milk smell is so strong and not greasy, it must be animal cream."

"What is animal cream?" Xing'er wondered beside her.

"That's it." Zhou Yuncheng pointed to the cream on the cake: "It also smells like matcha, it should be added with matcha powder."

"So that's how it is." Xing'er responded in this way, but her face obviously still seemed to understand.

Zhou Yuncheng is a foodie, and because she was ill before, she hadn't eaten recklessly for a long time, so she ate this cake very deliciously.While eating, she asked Myolie to help her make a pot of tea.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Xing'er said with a smile on her face while pouring tea for Zhou Yuncheng.

Zhou Yuncheng quickly ate up the cake, and poured down two cups of tea, finally feeling a little bloody.

"When is Madam coming?" Zhou Yuncheng couldn't wait to hear what happened from her.

"Little Lihua just went over to report that you're awake, so I guess you'll be here soon." Xing'er said.

As soon as the words fell, a little girl who looked only eleven or twelve years old hurried in.

"Miss, miss, it's not good!" Before he could finish speaking, he tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground with a plop.

"Little Pear Blossom!" Xing'er yelled, and hurried up to help the little girl up: "What's the matter, you are so anxious, please speak slowly."

"I just, I just went over to tell my wife that you are awake," Xiao Lihua said with a crying voice, swallowing her saliva, "I saw, I saw." Weeping loudly.

"What did you see?" Myolie asked anxiously.

"I saw people coming from the government, and took the master away!" Little Lihua cried with tears on her face, as if she mustered up a lot of courage to say this sentence.

"Take it away?" Zhou Yuncheng's face darkened. Although she had just passed through and had no relationship with this family, since they all called her Miss, if the master fell so soon, would she also be punished? implicated?Besides, my wife helped me yesterday, Zhou Yuncheng didn't want to see their couple suffer.

"Why were you taken away, did you tell me?" Zhou Yuncheng asked after thinking about it.

"No, I'm not sure." Xiao Lihua calmed down and said, "I only heard intermittently that the quality of the materials was not good."

The quality of the material is not good?Zhou Yuncheng thought to herself: Such a long-winded sentence is useless, it seems that I still have to ask my wife.However, the quality of the material is not good, and I don't like to hear it for the rest of my life.

"Where's Madam?" Zhou Yuncheng continued to ask.

"No, I don't know." Xiao Lihua said, "I saw the master was taken away, so I hurried back to inform the lady."

This girl is too young to avoid bluffing.Thinking to herself, Zhou Yuncheng said to Xing'er, "Take me to Madam's first, let's go and have a look."

"Okay, Miss." Myolie said, "But, you haven't washed up yet, and you haven't changed your clothes yet."

"Little Lihua," Zhou Yuncheng said, "Go to the lady's courtyard first. If she's still there, tell me I'll be there right away. If she's not in the courtyard, ask where I can find her."

"Okay, Miss." Little Lihua hurriedly turned around and was about to run out.

"Little Pear Blossom!" Zhou Yuncheng yelled, and Little Pear Blossom was startled and stopped.

"Steady first, don't panic, I'm the one to do anything." Zhou Yuncheng said.

Little Lihua's face was startled, she didn't expect Zhou Yuncheng to say that, then she seemed to have settled down and calmed down, nodded solemnly, turned around and left quickly.

"Miss, you seem to be different from the rumors." Xing'er looked at the back of Xiaolihua leaving, and suddenly said.

"What about me in the rumors?" Zhou Yuncheng asked.

"It has been rumored that you have a bad temper." Myolie said, "But in my opinion, you are not like that at all. And the way you speak is very special."

Xing'er said it cryptically, in fact, Zhou Yuncheng before was not only perverse and violent, but also known for his vanity and bullying.Although the Zhou family is a merchant, but because the family is powerful, Zhou Yuncheng often bullies others by relying on his strong financial resources.

"I'd better wash and change clothes first." Zhou Yuncheng's heart paused when he heard that. This little girl is very sensitive, so she quickly changed her tone: "What I mean is, you should wait for me to wash and change clothes quickly." The most urgent thing is to get it done first Knowing what happened to the master, now I can only hear the specific situation here from Mrs. Zhou.

Xing'er led Zhou Yuncheng to sit in front of the stage, then asked someone to fetch water to wash her mouth and face, and then asked Zhou Yuncheng to comb her hair in front of the bronze mirror.

This was the first time Zhou Yuncheng saw his own face.In the bronze mirror, I look about fifteen or sixteen years old, with fine white and translucent skin, a collagen face that should be at this age.Slender eyebrows and round eyes, a small upturned nose in line with Zhou Yuncheng's own aesthetics, lips neither thin nor thick, still look very delicate on the whole small round face.

Not bad, Zhou Yuncheng thought to himself: Although I was pretty good-looking before, after all, at that age, I can't compare to the watery spirit I am now.

Xing'er's dexterity quickly combed Zhou Yuncheng into a simple and beautiful bun.After changing her clothes, Zhou Yuncheng took Xing'er to his wife without further delay.

As soon as he stepped into the door of his wife's courtyard, he heard a panicked male voice.

"Madam Mingcha! We really didn't fill our pockets by buying unqualified wood!"

Looking for the sound, Zhou Yuncheng looked in and saw his wife sitting high on a chair in the main hall, holding a thick notebook in her hand, and three men were kneeling in the hall.

"If you said it, why would the people in the Gangfu Yamen say that there is something wrong with the materials we provided to the Wangfu for the construction of the attic?" Madam's voice was very calm, and there was no panic at all. If it wasn't for Zhou Yuncheng who knew that the master had just been taken away If you go, you will definitely think that this is an ordinary question.

"I don't know either." Another man replied.

At this time, Zhou Yuncheng had brought Xing'er to the front of the hall.

"You're here." Madam saw Zhou Yuncheng, and said lightly: "I have something to do at home, I don't have time to talk to you in detail right now, you should go back to your room and take care of it, I'll go to you after I've dealt with the matter here .”

"I heard about it." Zhou Yuncheng said, "I came here to see if there is anything I can do to help."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yuncheng walked to his wife's side, and took the thick notebook in her hand. As expected, it was a purchase list of materials.

"Are you an accountant?" Madam handed the notebook to Zhou Yuncheng and asked in a low voice.

"Probably." Zhou Yuncheng frowned and quickly flipped through the notebook in his hand, asking, "Who made this account?"

"It's me." The slightly better-dressed man among the three said.

"This is old accountant Zhang." Madam introduced: "The other two are Xiao Li and Xiao He who are in charge of purchasing."

"Old Zhang, yours is just a record of material entry and exit, without a stamped purchase order and quality inspection report." Zhou Yuncheng looked up at Lao Zhang.

"List record? Purchase order? What else. What report?" Old Zhang was confused.

"What I mean is, your account book only has the records of the incoming and outgoing timber, and there should be a certificate for you to confirm the quality of the material with the merchant when you purchased the timber, right?" Zhou Yuncheng tried to explain in a language they could understand, she I really don't know what the technical term is in this world.

"Yes, yes." Lao Zhang understood now: "Some are in the cashier, and some are still at the merchant."

"Where is the one in the attic that happened this time?" Zhou Yuncheng asked.

"Oh yes, it should. It should be in the accounting room." When Lao Zhang heard that the master was taken away, he was too nervous.

"Then you go and clean it up and I'll take a look." Zhou Yuncheng said.

"It's too late," Madam interrupted, "We don't know what's going on with the master now, and it's not realistic to check the accounts slowly now."

"Old Zhang, give me all the relevant materials." Zhou Yuncheng turned to look at his wife: "Let's go to the master and read the materials."

After hearing what Zhou Yuncheng said, Lao Zhang looked at his wife.Madam thought for a while, then nodded to Lao Zhang.After Lao Zhang left, his wife asked Zhou Yuncheng:
"Can you see the problem in such a short time?"

"It's hard to say." Zhou Yuncheng looked at the gloomy sky and said, "Let's take a look first."
