Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 7

After a while, a simple yet cautious voice suddenly came from the half-closed courtyard door: "Wen Shu, Wen Shu."

The voice was so familiar that Wen Shu knew who it was without looking. He poked his head out of the window and greeted casually: "Come in, my father is not here."

The tall and thin man standing outside the courtyard seemed a little uneasy when he heard the words, and looked in for a while with his head. Seeing that Wen Taizhen was not inside, he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped in the door.

Wen Shu put down the book, went out to greet her, and said, "Why are you here? Is your home busy?"

"My parents and brother-in-law are still busy, and my mother asked me to go shopping."

"Then if you don't buy it, what are you doing here?"

Huzi looked around and said in a low voice: "I have something to tell you, boss, did you provoke someone outside?"

Boss is Hu Zi's unique address to Wen Shu, and it is also the rule that Wen Shu established when he beat Hu Zi for the first time as a child and cried for his father and mother.

"What nonsense! What can I cause!" Wen Shu glared at him.

Huzi rolled his eyes, and looked at her in disbelief: "Don't hide it from me, all the people from Weiyuanhou's Mansion have come here just now."

"Weiyuan Hou's Mansion!" Wen Shu was taken aback, then looked at him strangely, "What do people from Weiyuan Hou's Mansion want you for?"

"Why are you looking for me? They are here to inquire about you." Huzi rolled his eyes.

"Inquire about me!" Wen Shu was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "I don't know any Weiyuanhou Mansion, why does his servant inquire about me?"

"The man didn't say anything, but he asked me about where you live. You really didn't cause trouble, did you?" Speaking of which, Huzi looked at her with concern.

"No, what can I cause?" Wen Shu waved his hand.

"Then do you know people from the Marquis of Weiyuan?"

"do not know."

"Then what did they ask you to do?"

"You asked me about this, I still want to know." Wen Shu rolled his eyes, then he was startled and asked, "Did you tell me where I live?"

Huzi lowered his head resentfully, "That... I didn't want to say it, but later he showed the signboard of the Hou Mansion, I"

Wen Shu understood his difficulties, and was not angry at the moment, and it was considered intentional for him to take a detour to tell her.

"Okay, I don't blame you. Thank you for coming to tell me. If there is nothing else, you should go quickly. My father will be back soon."

Huzi came this time to inform her, so as not to make people plot secretly, but now he didn't say much, just laughed and left.

After he left, Wen Shu was thinking about it seriously.

She knows Huzi's temperament, and she would never make up such a story to tease her, but Weiyuanhoufu.
After staring and thinking for a moment, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
correct!I heard from those maids yesterday that that Lu Shaoqing seems to be from the Hou Mansion
Could it be this Weiyuan Hou Mansion?

It should be, otherwise she would not know other people from the Hou family, but why did that Lu Shaoqing send someone to inquire about her residence?

In terms of reward, Wang Yushi had already rewarded him with silver yesterday, so the matter is supposed to be over.
After thinking for a while, she really couldn't think of any clues, so she simply threw it away and went back to her room to continue studying.Just raising his eyes, he unexpectedly met the iron box on the bedside table, and couldn't help but pause.

The next moment, she turned around and went to the bedside table to pick up the strange iron box.

Many flowers, birds, fish, insects, birds and animals are engraved on the four walls of the iron box, while blue sky, white clouds and alpine lakes are engraved on the cover and base. Wen Shu generally feels that a condensed small world is engraved on it.

After contemplating it for a moment, doubts flashed in her heart, where did this coffin-like thing come from?

If it was lost by a customer who had been to her shop, it seems unlikely, not to mention the exquisite textures and patterns on it are not something ordinary people can make, even if they can make it, who would make such a thing? Carry it with you, don't be afraid of bad luck!
Rubbing the iron box with her fingers for a while, looking at the inconspicuous gap between the upper cover and the lower wall of the iron box, Wen Shu's heart moved, and she thought to herself: This box can still be opened!
Just what's in it?
Out of curiosity, I couldn't help but want to push open the iron cover to have a look, but I stretched my hand halfway, and retracted it again.

no!This thing does not belong to her family. If she opened it without authorization, wouldn't it be peeping into other people's privacy? The master said: "Do not look at evil, and do not listen to evil."

After hesitating for a moment, she thought, forget it, let's wait.

The fire in the north of the city is such a big event, within a day, the whole city of Tokyo must know about it, and no matter who passes by here and accidentally loses something, after hearing this, they will definitely wake up and come back to look for it.

If it's been a month or so and no one cares about this thing, it won't be too late for her to open it again.

After making up his mind, Wen Shu held back his curiosity and continued to study before turning back to the desk.

It's just that the side sat down for a while, and the wooden door of the small courtyard squeaked again, and then her father's breathless voice came: "A-Ning, A-Ning, come and give me a hand."

Hearing the sound, Wen Shu hurriedly put down her books and ran out. As soon as she went out, she saw her father carrying a lot of things on his shoulders.

She hurried forward to take it, complaining in her mouth: "If you want wheat noodles, just tell Mipu, they will send someone to bring it, why bother to carry these things back like this, be careful to hurt your waist again. "

However, Wen Tai shook his hand: "It's okay, I know it in my heart. The rice shop is crowded today, and the shopkeeper said that there might not be time to deliver it before noon. I thought that the white noodles in the tank were not enough to make a meal of meat-poured noodles, so I simply I carried it back by myself."

Wen Shu always takes care of the meals at home, so she naturally knows how many noodles are left in the house, but when she hears her father saying that she will make meat noodles at noon, she can't help exclaiming: "Father, you bought meat!"

Wen Tai smiled, and slipped out a piece of pork belly from the basket on the right as if by magic, "Didn't we agree yesterday to buy meat today?"

Wen Shu naturally remembers this, but last night a catastrophe happened at home, the shop was hit by disaster, and how much money will be spent on rebuilding in the future, thinking of this, how dare she mention eating meat, now the meat is almost two catties Looking at the meat, he couldn't help but feel distressed: "Is this meat bought a little too much? We still have to save money to build a shop."

Wen Tai laughed, patted the flour on his body and said, "It's okay, if you save these two catties of meat, we won't be able to build a shop, and besides, you are still growing up at your age, so you should eat something good anyway." After looking at her for a while, he said with distaste: "I'm still a little thinner, and the people who come to see her don't agree with it." After saying this, he sighed and walked to the well.

Wen Shu, who was standing there, looked at his slightly flat chest, only to feel that his head was full of black lines.
This is another mother-in-law who is gossiping in front of her father. Although her family doesn't eat meat every day, the food is not too bad, and they can eat meat every now and then.

It's just that recently she wanted to save money quickly to buy back that pair of waist protectors for her father, so she lied that she lost money on the way, so she could spend some meat money, although her father really wanted to give her some money to buy it. Meat, just thinking that her dowry is still more than half short, so she insisted on suppressing the desire to eat meat.

Anyway, the fact that the breasts are not growing can't be blamed on not eating meat. According to what Aunt Li said in the past, it may be because of her mother.

It's just that her mother passed away early, and she didn't even know what she looked like, so naturally she couldn't verify it.

Now, looking at the piece of red and white pork belly, although Wen Shu felt sorry for Yin Zi, but he hadn’t eaten meat for ten days and a half months, and his mouth was a little greedy. Thinking about buying all the meat, he couldn’t return it. Immediately, his mood changed, and he happily carried the bag of flour and meat back to the kitchen.

While Wen Tai was washing his hands, he looked up and saw the back of his daughter returning to the kitchen with a white flour bag in her hand, and sighed inwardly.

It would be great if this was a boy!
Strong enough to learn to make coffins under his footsteps, no matter what in the future, she will be a craftsman for a living, but she is a girl, although she is strong enough to defend herself, but if she doesn't know how to cover it up, it is a bad thing.

This girl was fine when she was young, and her strength was slightly stronger than that of ordinary children of the same age, but as she got older, her strength became stronger and stronger.Now if we really want to compare, I am afraid that he is a bit stronger than him.

Thinking of this, Wen Tai felt a headache.
