Shangshi female official

"I'm fine, these people are not good at kung fu, I don't know who sent them here."

"Who else..."

Yue Hong met Wang Yifu's eyes, thought for a while, and continued: "The Jingmo people are gone, and she still wants to kill you?"

"I guess she has already arranged it. The Du family will do it as soon as they leave. Otherwise, how could these people come so quickly."

"Then it's important that I take you out first."

Wang Yifu grasped Yue Hong's arm tightly, and said, "Brother Yue, I want to give Jingmo away..."

After a fight, Yue Hong's depression dissipated a little bit, but when he thought of Jing Mo's death, he felt chest tightness and bitterness, which he couldn't get rid of. "

They hadn't walked a few steps away from the An Le Hall when they were stopped by a woman wearing a bamboo hat and covered with a gauze curtain. The woman lifted the gauze curtain, and Wang Yifu said joyfully, "Nurse Zhou?"

"You come with me."

Nanny Zhou took the two of them to an alley in the northeast corner, gave them two small white cards, and said, "After you go out, don't go to the Du Mansion, go to the east city of Beijing to find the proprietress of Xie Ji Tofu Shop, Said that Chen Shangshi in the palace asked her to settle down with you two. I bid farewell to Imperial Physician Du, and wait for news from your lord."

"Mother Zhou, thank Mother Chen for me."

"Your Excellency understands your intentions, you go quickly, it is not appropriate to stay in the imperial city for a long time."

Nanny Zhou took off the bamboo hat and gave it to Wang Yifu, persuading: "You are skinny and sick now, with a pale face and swollen and red eyes, it is really scary, please cover your face with this bamboo hat. "

Wang Yifu and Yue Hong arrived on the eve of Bei'anmen's closing, handed over the small ivory card and successfully left the city. As night was approaching, fortunately Yue Hong was familiar with many roads in the capital, so they found Xieji Tofu Shop without much effort.

This tofu shop not only sells tofu, but also has four or five tables in the hall, a counter with a cabinet of wine, and several dishes hung on the wall with wooden signs, such as tender tofu, aged tofu, fresh bean curd, braised pork and Pat the cucumbers.

The proprietress of the tofu shop is about thirty years old, standing behind the counter and talking about business, with a white cloth scarf wrapped around her head, wearing a maroon cloth, the gray scarf tied around her waist, her sleeves rolled up to her elbows, revealing A white arm.

Wang Yifu and Yue Hong first sat in the store and ordered two bowls of tender tofu. Wang Yifu listened carefully to the person who came to buy tofu. It seemed that he was a servant of the Du family. Tofu for croquettes.

Wang Yifu's eyes were wet, and she almost cried again. She closed her eyes and made up her mind. After thinking about it, if the business is concluded, it would be much more convenient for them to enter and leave the Du Mansion.

The servant and the proprietress were uncertain, so Wang Yifu took a sip of her tofu nao, and said with a smirk, "This tofu nao is really well made, smooth and soft, with a strong bean fragrance, and the quality is top-notch. Brother Yue, let's wait a while Buy some more, and it’s just right to make Guotaofu and give it to that adult.”

Yue Hong understood what she meant right away, and said, "The grown-ups are saving face, and it's hard to find such a house that is available, so of course we need to buy more."

Wang Yifu turned her head and shouted to the boss: "Miss Boss, save the good tofu for us, we want it these days."

The proprietress squinted at the servant, and said with a smile, "Okay, tell me how much you want."

The servant was probably a soft-hearted person. Hearing these harsh words, he thought about it for a while, and immediately said to the proprietress: "Madam proprietress, you have to pay attention to first-come, first-served business. I come first, so I must come first." It's right for me."

"You don't like this price...the price you mentioned is definitely not good. I can't do business at a loss."

"Whoever says I don't like it, I will pay the price you said. Tomorrow morning, this tofu will have to be sent to the back kitchen of General Du Heng's mansion!"

"Really?"

"It's a deal, I'll put ten taels of silver here as a deposit."

The proprietress immediately smiled and said: "Okay, I will send it to you tomorrow morning."

When the man left, the proprietress came over with a bowl of stewed pork, with a smile on her face, she said: "Just now I thank you two for your help, it's a small thing, it's not a respect."

Yue Hong replied: "Miss Boss, you really know how to do business."

"Small business, how can you do it if you are not flexible, I don't know where you two come from and where are you going?"

Yue Hongchao moved closer to the proprietress, and said in a low voice: "We came from the palace, Chen Shangshi from Shangshi Bureau asked us to come to this tofu shop and find a place to stay."

The proprietress said "Oh~" and said with a smile: "You two, let's have some food here and rest for a while. When my shop closes, just follow me."

Wang Yifu said thank you in a low voice, and the proprietress said: "I advise the girl, if you don't want to be noticed, you'd better put away the curtain of the bamboo hat. Ordinary people should pay more attention to this thing when you dress it up."

Wang Yifu heard that it made sense, so she took off the bamboo hat. The proprietress saw her pale and bloodless face, her eyes were swollen unreasonably, and she looked ugly like a female ghost, so she had to laugh and said: "I'll get two for the girl. Put an egg on your eyes."

After she closed the door, the proprietress took the two of them to an alley two streets away from the shop, and when they reached the third door in the alley, they opened the door.

In the second yard, there were four people pushing two stone mills and grinding beans. The proprietress explained: "Tomorrow I will send a big business, so I will have to work hard tonight."

Those four people didn't complain at all, and said hello with a smile.

At the third courtyard, it was much wider than the previous two small courtyards. The proprietress led them to the east room, opened the door and lit the lamps. Inside, tables, chairs, big beds and other utensils were complete, as if they had been prepared a long time ago.

"I don't know why Chen Shangshi asked me to prepare something. I prepared according to her request. I don't know if you two are satisfied."

"Now the proprietress is willing to take us in. We are very grateful. How can we choose your things? Besides, the things you have prepared are so good. I'm afraid we are not worth using them."

"The people Chen Shangshi asked me to stay are naturally my distinguished guests, how can I neglect them?"

"I still don't know your name, lady boss?"

"My surname is Bai, and this shop is my husband's surname. The person is gone. It was also when the accident happened that year. Chen Shangshi taught me how to make tofu, so that I can make a living in Dongshi, so that the widow will not be left without help." Lu, you can just call me Sister Biao."

"Thank you, Miss Biao."

"I'm going to fetch water for you to take a bath."

Yue Hong immediately said: "Let me do this rough work."

It was only then that Wang Yifu remembered that when she came out of that filthy place, she was already used to the stench on her body. Fortunately, the two of them didn't mention it, so she was relieved. Thinking of this, there is naturally warmth in her heart come out.
