Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 384 I remembered (Update)
Early in the morning, in the Qi family mansion in Changyang City, Lian Erfa, his wife and Aunt Zhong started to get busy.

Qi Mubai is the only master of the Qi family in Daying. Although he only stayed in Changyang for three days and did not have much contact with them, everyone living in the house could feel the master's kindness to everyone, which made everyone Everyone feels more deeply that no matter what their last name is or where they come from, they are now part of the Qi family.Only if the young master is good and the Qi family is good can they be good.

The young master was leaving Changyang today, so Aunt Zhong thought of making him some delicious dry snacks to eat on the road.It was rare that the young master personally said that he wanted to bring some of her best braised chicken wings. No, before dawn, she lifted Uncle Zhong up and killed six chickens, and then the whole front yard was filled with the mouth-watering aroma of braised chicken wings. There is also a strong flavor of chicken soup.

When everyone comes for breakfast, they can't help but ask: "Aunt Zhong, do you want to eat chicken today?" Although the Qi family's food is excellent, they usually eat chicken once or twice a month, unlike other wealthy families. Servants and helpers can only eat chicken during the holidays, and each person can't get more than one or two pieces.But I couldn't resist Aunt Zhong's cooking skills, especially the braised chicken and braised chicken that were so delicious.It is no exaggeration to say that when the Qi family had a banquet at a high-end restaurant at the end of the year, the chicken cooked by the so-called chefs was not as delicious as Aunt Zhong's.

Aunt Zhong said with a smile on her face: "Yes, we will eat chicken today, braised chicken nuggets and braised chicken at noon, and come back for chicken soup in the evening. Didn't the young master say that you have worked hard? We will make up for it today, and we have killed six chickens in total."

Dang Luoshuang held a porcelain jar with twelve braised chicken wings and said with a smile: "Six chickens, Master, you can only eat a few wings. It's such a shame. It makes it easier for all of us." She also likes Aunt Zhong's braised chicken wings, but not Limited to chicken wings.Isn’t this?Aunt Zhong also specially prepared four large chicken legs and six braised chicken kidneys for the two sisters, both of which she liked.

Zhiruo shook his head and said with a smile: "Everyone likes carrots and cabbage. If you really like it, you won't feel at a loss. Everyone looks at the problem from a different perspective." In her opinion, she only likes to eat chicken wings, but It was too extravagant to kill six chickens to satisfy her appetite.Fortunately, Qi has a large family, and those few chickens can be used to improve everyone's food, so they can't be wasted, and everyone can enjoy themselves. It's really a good deal.

Luoying thought thoughtfully: "Master means that people should not care too much about gains and losses, just get what they want, and don't always think about what benefits others will take advantage of in the process." She glanced at him with a half-smile. With a glance at Luoshuang, this girl came back last night and kept saying that she was taking advantage of Prince Pan this time. Not only did she give the evidence collected by Wu Minjun in vain, but her master also gave them some advice. It is estimated that Prince Pan will make great achievements this time.

Luoshuang was not stupid and quickly understood. He curled his lips and said, "I understand the truth, but I just don't like some people."

"Really?" Luoying teased rudely, "Aren't you taking your anger out on others because you made a mistake and got caught?"

The three masters and servants were chatting and laughing, and were walking to the front yard when they came hurriedly: "Sir, someone is looking for you, saying that they were sent by the heir apparent of the British prince."

Zhiruo was stunned for a moment, the heir apparent of the British Duke?What did Pan Jiaming send people to do?Is it because of the dwarf, or... I want to give her the Tianshan Jade Snow in gratitude?
Thinking of this second possibility, Zhiruo's steps became brisk. She really liked that hairpin, and it was worth paying more money.After all, the price the shopkeeper gave Pan Jiaming obviously included other factors. If someone else bought it, it would definitely be more than that price.

The person who came was indeed Shijo, whom Zhiruo had met many times, and Shijo was indeed holding a brocade box in his hand. Zhiruo felt as if his mood was blooming like a flower, haha.

"Hello, Mr. Qi," Shitiao's attitude was very respectful. Qi Mubai's reminder yesterday was a great help to them. The prince wanted to express his gratitude. Why should he be disrespectful? "We, the Crown Prince, and Uncle Xiao have something urgent to do today, so we specially asked my servant to see you off. The Crown Prince said, I see that you like white jade very much, but the Tianshan Jade Snow yesterday was an important gift specially prepared by the Crown Prince. , so I chose another white jade hair crown as a thank you gift, I hope you will accept it, sir."

"..." Zhiruo's smile froze slightly, "Pan Shizi is too polite. I was just curious and casually guessed, what is the worthy gift of thanks? Please thank Pan Jiaming for me." People like Pan Jiaming How is it possible to take back something that has been given away?It would be hypocritical to shirk the point.

Shitiao nodded secretly. Qi Mubai was indeed a clear-minded person. No wonder the prince and uncle Xiao fell in love with him. There were not many people who could look into the eyes of those two masters.By the way, the contents in the box were a birthday gift from the Queen to the Crown Prince, and he liked it very much.

After getting on the carriage, Zhi Ruoyan threw the brocade box aside and secretly said that he was very excited.Also, Pan Jiaming is a man, so buying a hairpin for women is obviously to give it to others, and the person who spends a lot of money to buy a hairpin as a gift must also be an important person, so how can he just give it away?Is it because she is obsessed with her appearance and just thinks that she has not heard the news about Pan Jiaming's engagement? If she doesn't get engaged, she won't have anyone to admire her?

Luoying didn't know why her master was suddenly depressed: "Master, Pan Shizi must have done well. Don't you see what kind of hair crown it is? I'm a little curious." As far as she knew, the master did like jade ornaments. Especially white jade.

"If you're curious, just open it and take a look." Zhiruo figured it out and didn't dwell on it anymore.

Luoying smiled and immediately opened the brocade box: "Wow, so beautiful!" She knew without asking that her master would definitely like it.

Just as she thought, Zhiruo's eyes were indeed straight, and it was made of top-quality mutton-fat white jade. Its water quality, color, and oiliness were no worse than those of Tianshan Jade Snow. It was very suitable for her who was currently dressed in men's clothing. That guy was really extraordinary!
After leaving the city gate, Luoshuang, who was driving the carriage, turned back and asked, "Master, do you want to go as planned?"

"Well, let's go to Yunzhou," Zhiruo replied while playing with the hair crown fondly. "I heard that Yunzhou has unique scenery and unique customs and is very interesting." According to her readings from various miscellaneous notes and travel notes, According to the information, Yunzhou is somewhat like the Yunnan and Guizhou areas in her memory, with several ethnic minorities living there.

Luoying also smiled and said: "We have lived with the Wu family in the border town of Yunzhou for many years, and we have some understanding. The people there, regardless of gender, are good at singing and dancing, and their clothes are different from us Han people. There are also Bonfire Festivals and Water Splashing Festivals. , clothes-drying festival, girls' festival, there are many kinds. But we only heard about it. After all, the border town has troops stationed in it, so it is not as lively as the capital Kunping and other counties." They are also the maids of the girls in the inner courtyard, so naturally they have no chance to escape. Go out and watch the fun.

"That's just right," Zhiruo said with a smile, "Let's take a walk this time. Other states and counties are similar, except that some are more prosperous and some are quieter. However, Yunzhou has many differences." "Among several It’s good to walk around the county. I heard that you can buy things that the Miao people and other local barbarians eat, use and wear. I heard they are quite unique. In particular, the various medicines of the Miao people have strange effects." Luoying thought. I heard some things when I was in the border town, so I decided to remind Zhiruo, "But Master, we still have to be careful. We can't approach the barbarian cottages casually. I heard Wu Shen tell the Wu family before that those cottages are Where barbarians live together, they are extremely exclusive and wary of outsiders, especially Han people. They have their own rules and punishments, and in many cases even the government cannot control them."

"Don't worry, I understand." Zhiruo has always been a person who cherishes his life and will not take such meaningless risks for nothing. "We only go to places where Han people are concentrated. The most we can do is visit the barbarian markets in the city. ." There is no harmonious scene of "56 ethnic groups and 56 flowers" that she can see in modern China.

Moreover, in this ancient time where the rule of man was greater than the rule of law, it was very dangerous not to mention breaking into a barbarian village, but even breaking into a village controlled by people with the same surname and the same family, not to mention that the language, writing, and customs were all different. Barbarians?Barbarians, barbarians, the word "barbarian" does not come casually.

Zhiruo wanted to visit Yunzhou for no other special purpose, just out of curiosity and a tourist mentality. She is not the Yin Hye-en of the 21st century. She can just pick up her bag and leave whenever she wants to travel, like this time Traveling far away, I guess it would be difficult to do it again.After all, she has responsibilities, a mission, and relatives to take care of, so she has no capital to rebel and do whatever she wants.

So, just take a walk and look for some design inspiration. She didn't want to cause trouble for herself, and naturally she had no intention of going to those barbarian villages and other barbarian villages for adventure.

Unfortunately, things often go against people's wishes. Zhiruo would never have thought at this moment that her journey to Yunzhou was destined to be thrilling. Of course, the rewards were proportional to the thrills.

Zhiruo, the master and the servant were in a good mood and embarked on a new journey. Pan Jiaming and Xiao Feng also found the disguised account book on Se Chaozi's bookshelf as they wished.

In the underground secret room of Piaoxiang Tea Shop, Xiao Feng threw the account book on the table and snorted coldly: "To hide it, if they hadn't cleverly added a cover of "Collection of Poems in the Mountains" to this account book, we really wouldn't have done it. So easy to pick it out from a shelf full of books.”

Pan Jiaming sat on the roof and ate burritos, and he laughed and said: "How could anyone think that there is someone as perverted as Xiao Bangyan, who can remember how thick and thin the books he has read are?" In other words, if it weren't for Xiao Feng's incredible memory, , it takes a lot of time to read those books one by one.

However, those people were still worried that they would not be able to remember, so they put title labels on the sides of each book. This greatly facilitated Xiao Feng. He just glanced at it on the bookshelf. He was still thinking about whether to check each book. Xiao Feng had already taken down the "Collection of Poems in the Mountains" and opened it with a suspicious look on his face, and then smiled proudly... Haha, what a simple effort!

Xiao Feng was also amused by how "too smooth" they were last night: "They were also unlucky. "Collection of Poems in the Mountains" was the first birthday gift Aunt Qian gave me. Not to mention that the poems were memorized fluently, even the order of the poems was the same. The size and thickness of the poem are all engraved in my mind. I was thinking at that time, is it so thick? Is it possible to write a poem in two parts? "Aunt Qian is Mingzi's mother and his savior, like the second mother. Ordinary relatives.

"Hahahaha," Pan Jiaming laughed, "People just tear off a piece of skin and stick it on, who would think so much? Most people won't have such a sensitive reaction when they see it. You are the only one who sees a mole. It will open the storehouse door of your memory."

"Don't believe it," Xiao Feng frowned, "I must have seen Zhuoma's face, or a similar face, especially the big mole under the lip." But why couldn't he remember it? Where have you seen it?

"It's not that I don't believe it," Pan Jiaming answered faster than anything else, "I just think that I should have met the people you know, unless they are strangers or passers-by who have no relationship. You have to think of such people. It’s really not easy. What’s more, what if you saw the portrait in some book? I just found out today that you have such a deep memory of the book, haha.”

Pan Jiaming was joking happily, but he didn't notice that Xiao Feng's expression suddenly froze.

"Portrait? Portrait?" Xiao Feng closed his eyes and frowned, obviously lost in his own memories.When Pan Jiaming turned around and realized that he had not paid attention to him, this man was persistently recalling the mole again. There was no point in stopping him unless he gave up.Wouldn't it be better if you really think about it?He was also suspicious of Zhuoma, although he had not found any flaws yet.

Suddenly, Xiao Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were astonishingly bright: "Yes, I remembered it, it's really a portrait."

"Ahem, cough, cough," Pan Jiaming almost choked as soon as a mouthful of porridge entered his throat. He finally adjusted himself and swallowed it, then glared at Xiao Feng and said, "Real or fake? Where did you see the portrait? When?" He said in his mouth He was asking whether it was true or not, but he was already sure that Pan Jiaming really remembered him. He knew this brother who was closer than a real brother and had a better understanding of each other, and he would not joke about this kind of thing at this time.

"The late Emperor, uh, Master Zen Xin's Kongwen Hall, do you still remember that you dragged me into the study with you?" Xiao Feng's thoughts became clearer and smoother, and he completely remembered, "We secretly I saw the portrait of Concubine Rong of the late emperor. Does Zhuoma look like Concubine Rong? And that mole, do you remember it?"

"Concubine Rong?" Pan Jiaming also fell into memories, "Yang family? At that time, I heard the palace maids talking about the prince, uh, the deposed prince's own mother was able to enter the palace and become Concubine Li because of her great-aunt's introduction to Concubine Rong. , and also said that originally the second girl of the Yang family who looked very similar to Concubine Rong, even having the same mole, came into the palace, but the emperor saw the eldest girl of the Yang family first and fell in love at first sight, and that's how Concubine Li was born."

"Yes," Xiao Feng was very excited, "Then you said that you wanted to see what kind of woman could make Master Zen Xin give up his throne and become a monk. You also remembered that someone said that no one dared to touch Master Zen Xin's Kongwen Hall, so He dragged me to the study room of Kongwen Palace to see if there were any portraits left, but to our surprise, we actually found the portrait of Concubine Xianrong."
