Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 414 The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind
At the same time, the other two groups of people also entered different mansions.

At this time, Qin Pei and Lu Yuancheng, Qin Pei and Lu Yuancheng were listening to the report of this matter in the Qin Mansion and Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

It's Baiwei Teahouse again!

After listening to the servant's report, Lu Yuancheng frowned slightly. This tea shop has been getting a lot of attention recently, why is it everywhere.

After the "chicken plague" incident, he sent someone to inquire about it, but the news that came back only said that it was a new tea shop with no background and a small scale, just an ordinary rural small house.

The only difference is that the things they sell are not bad, and they have a good reputation in the surrounding area.

He was busy with political affairs before, and was suddenly dispatched for disaster relief, so he didn't bother to investigate it himself. Now it seems that it's time to go and have a look.

Furthermore, I had never heard of this tea shop in my previous life. It might be a big change, so I had to guard against it.

On the side of the Qin Mansion, after Qin Pei heard the report, he felt that this "Baiwei Tea Shop" might be a trick set up by political enemies. I thought he was manipulating public opinion behind his back.

Officials can allow hundreds of officials to scold and quarrel, but they will never allow someone to incite the people with the intention of "gods", because this is not conducive to the consolidation of imperial power.

"Check, let's see who is behind this Baiwei tea shop?"

"Wait!" Wang called to stop him.

"what happened?"

Just now when Qin Pei was listening to the report, Mrs. Wang had been standing by the side. He was still happy when he first heard what "Baiwei Tea House" was doing, and felt that their father and daughter were finally on the same line.

Now that Qin Pei's tone was not right, he realized that there was something serious about it.

"Master Xiang asked what the tea shop was doing?"

Qin Pei briefly told her about the power of it, and Wang was dumbfounded, and said in a daze, "No way, how could she be bribed by the other party, did Xiangye think wrong?"

"Do you know the owner of the tea shop?" Qin Pei caught the voice.

"Wang Shi hesitated and didn't answer.

Not long ago, Wen Shu told her that she was the owner behind the tea shop and she didn't want others to know.

At that time, in order to win back her heart, she promised again and again that she would not let the third person know. If she told Xiangye now, she would know later, and she would be angry.

Needless to say, this matter has a lot to do with it.

Seeing her hesitation, Qin Pei wondered: "Who is it, Madam even wants to hide it from me."

"It's not to hide the truth from Mr. Wang, it's just that I promised others not to tell." Wang was very embarrassed.

"That's something to do. This matter is of great importance. One bad thing is the matter of losing the official title."

"I..." Wang hesitated.

Qin Pei looked at her for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Wen Shu is the person behind this, who can make you feel so embarrassed?"

"how do you know?!"

It's over, Mrs. Wang is a little annoyed after being clichéd.

Qin Pei smiled and said: "We have been married for many years, I don't know what kind of temperament you are, but who else can make you hide it like this, except for the "sharp heart" who loves to ignore you."

"What Xiangye said, why is it my "sharp heart", isn't it also your "sharp heart"?"

"Hmph, she doesn't want to recognize me, so I won't be in a hurry." After finishing speaking, Qin Pei let the servants on the side go down, took two steps in the hall and said: "If it's really her, I can't get rid of this matter." Get involved."

However, if it was her, it would not be a big deal.

After all, she is Wen Tai's daughter, and she is eager to save her father. It is normal for her to do these small tricks. Even if the officials know about it, they won't blame her too much.

Because it's nothing to do on the bright side, and he doesn't believe that the person surnamed Dou won't do any tricks.

The only thing that can't be caught is the matter of the "ribbon from the sky", because it is a secret operation, which is more dangerous for consolidating the imperial power.

Sitting outside the gate of Dou's Mansion for a while, Wen Shu got up and paid for the wontons, and left the alley after confirming that there was no useful news.

It's just that on the way back, I always feel that someone is following me.

When she looked back, she was nowhere to be seen, but her intuition told her that someone was following her.

Back at Yujie, it was already overcrowded, and there was a long queue of people in front of Mrs. Zhao's stall, all waiting to "touch the paper" to get the wooden sign.

This time Wen Shu didn't squeeze in, and after looking around for a while, he planned to leave.

However, after only a few steps, two men stepped forward to stop her, "Miss Wen, please come with us, my lord."

"You adults?"

The two took out a bronze medal, which was the standard of the Kaifeng government office.

"What is Master Zhou looking for from me?"

Didn't I already ask all of them yesterday, what else is there.

"The little lady will know when she goes."

Seeing that the two were unwilling to talk, Wen Shu didn't ask any more questions, and obediently followed them to Kaifeng Mansion.

This time the feeling of being followed is gone, so... these two people were following behind just now? !

If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that Mr. Zhou has sent someone to follow her secretly all along, so he also knew about her going to the Dou Mansion just now.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. This trick is very good.

But unfortunately, she is not that mantis who doesn't understand anything.

When I went to the Kaifeng government office, I still crossed the lobby and went straight to the backyard. This time Master Zhou was writing. Seeing her coming, he said with a gentle attitude: "The official has newly given you a copybook, and this official is right here. The lady's calligraphy is quite good, why don't you also write two lines."

"Your Excellency, you are joking. My family has only been in a girls' school for only two years, and I can't even count a single word neatly. How dare I make a fool of myself."

"Little lady, don't be self-effacing, come here, prepare some pens and ink for the little lady." The posture is beyond words.

Wen Shu can probably guess why Master Zhou asked her to write, because he wanted to compare the handwriting on the ribbon as evidence for judgment or conviction.

However, she had already prepared, so she was not at all afraid at the moment.After a few words of humility, Shi Shiran stepped forward and copied the words on the copybook.

[Di, a copybook by a famous artist has been detected, and the system has automatically scanned and included it, rewarding 500 points! 】

And such a surprise!

Wen Shu immediately burst into joy, this trip was worth it!

She was happy in her heart, so she smiled a little, Master Zhou, who was watching her writing, was quite surprised when he saw it, and thought: She should be able to guess why I asked her to write.

Knowing that it can still be so easy, is it really irrelevant to this matter, or is there another care.

After observing for a while, Mr. Zhou felt that it should be the former, because Wen Shu's writing style and turning style were quite different from the font on the ribbon.

The characters on the ribbon are elegant and vigorous, but the characters written by Wen Shu are exactly as she said, they can only be regarded as neat, and the characters are round.

Even if you copy official fonts, you can't change the rounded strokes at the turning point.

Writing habits are difficult to change overnight, so the possibility of cheating is very small.

Mr. Zhou himself is an expert in this field. In his opinion, although Wen Shu's handwriting is not beautiful, his brush movements are very smooth. It doesn't seem to be deliberate, and it should be written like a habit.
