Dali Temple Small Dining Room

  Chapter 146 Tea Egg (2)

  After listening to the corner of the wall for a long time, Wen Mingtang walked towards the alleyway.

  Probably for the passage of nobles and horses, the alleys are wider than ordinary alleys. The alleyway is very shallow, and when you look up, you can see the vermilion tall house gate at the end of the alleyway. The stone lions standing on both sides of the house gate are staring at this side very mightily.

Although it was broad daylight, the gate of the nobleman's house was still closed. Wen Mingtang walked around, and it was impossible for him to see what was going on inside the gate through the thick stone wall. He only walked around a little, and then walked out again. .

  Back to the entrance of the alley, when I was about to buy some useful ingredients to go back, I heard a familiar voice behind me.

   "Master Wen?"

The slightly surprised voice made Wen Mingtang froze. He turned his head and looked over, but he saw Lin Fei standing at the door of a mansion not far behind him wearing a Wei suit. She looked over here.

The steward seemed a little surprised, but he was winking after all. He turned around and went back to the mansion without asking any further questions. After the door was closed with a bang, only Wen Mingtang, Lin Fei and Wei Fu were left in the empty alley. people.

   Wei Fu glanced at Lin Fei, coughed lightly, and asked, "Why is Master Wen here?"

  Wen Mingtang was silent for a moment, facing Lin Fei's moody face, after a little weighing, he chose to tell the truth: "I found an excuse to buy ingredients and come out to do some private affairs of my own."

Having said that, the expression on Wei Fu's face was even more subtle. He subconsciously looked up at Lin Fei, paused, and said with a strange expression: "Master Wen is not in Dali Temple, but the pot of tea leaves smells like eggs." You are so domineering, I thought you were there, if it wasn't for Lin Shaoqing..."

Obviously it's just an ordinary egg, but the smell of the pot called tea eggs makes the whole Dali Temple ready to move. Sitting there, I want to go and have a look at the pot of tea eggs .

He also smelled the smell, and just when he was feeling "Master Wen made some snacks again today", Lin Fei came over, and said to him in the unique scent of tea leaves, spices, and sauces: "Go See if anyone is still in the public kitchen!"

  At that time, he retorted instinctively: "Is Lin Shaoqing worrying too much? Although I haven't seen anyone, I can smell this smell. If Master Wen's people are not around, where does this smell come from?"

  Lin Fei shook his head, didn't say much, just asked him to go to the public kitchen to have a look.

  At that time, although Wei Fu didn't know why, he still took a trip. Then, I saw Tang Yuan and A Bing sitting next to the stove where tea eggs were simmering over a low fire.

  Two and a half older children couldn't help reaching out their hands to the tea eggs that were about to move up and down the entire Dali Temple in the pot, wanting to take one to taste first.

   Went to the public kitchen, except for catching two "little mice" who were trying to steal food, Wen Mingtang, who was supposed to be cooking there, didn't even see anyone.

Wei Fu was amazed at this scene, and couldn't laugh or cry: I really don't know how to feel Wen Mingtang's good craftsmanship, and no one is around, but he can still make this pot of delicious food; or should I admire Wen Mingtang's borrowing a pot of delicious food for himself as "proof of presence" "The ability!

  Knowing that the person Wen Mingtang was not there, Lin Fei didn't feel strange, not only that, but also nodded, and said with a face of "really so", "I knew she couldn't sit still!"

   After saying this, he took him out of Dali Temple and came to Zhengyangfang to find a familiar court official. After asking about King Yu this morning, he came out and bumped into Wen Mingtang.

  Since the person was bumped into, Wen Mingtang stopped lying, and she came to Zhengyangfang to see the situation in the name of buying ingredients.

   It's just unimaginable, Lin Fei stared at her so closely, he even found her!

  One didn't lie, and the other didn't waste time pursuing it.

  After pausing for a moment, Lin Fei spoke first: "What did you find out?"

Wen Mingtang said: "I just listened to those people on the street chatting for a while, and I know that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this alley, there is a rich widow, there is a powerful princess, and there is an unlucky cuckold whose family has been defeated. Consort."

  Of course, there are more than these people in the alley, maybe there are others.

   "King Yu is famous for being romantic. If she is an ordinary woman, she doesn't need to cover up in every possible way, let alone go out alone without bringing people around her." Wen Mingtang said, "I don't know why this time, I have to cover up like this."

  If the princess with golden branches and jade leaves...every word is not pleasant, all the neighbors will know about it. It is not a secret that she wants to come to the princess, and the son-in-law can't do anything to her, so there is no need to cover it up?

King Yu still doesn't have a concubine Yu who can make him dare not mess around, these two just looked at each other right, and put hats on the son-in-law, and the son-in-law...has worn so many hats, it's hard to think about it. Care about this one.

  The rich black widow is even more so, and it seems that there is no need to cover up.

  Besides these two, I haven’t heard from the neighbors that there are other people in this alley like these two who will do the same thing as Ye Liulang.

  Wen Mingtang was slow to inquire about the news himself, but right now...Wen Mingtang looked at Lin Fei in front of him: With this person here, he should be able to inquire about who lived in this alley!

Lin Fei's answer didn't disappoint her, and he said, "The family we just came from is Mr. Du who has retired. After he retired, he lived here. He grows vegetables and flowers on weekdays. His wife has passed away long ago. The children are not around, and there is no woman from top to bottom in the whole house. The matter of King Yu this morning should not have much to do with him.

"Master Du is not very clear about these things, but he also mentioned Princess Chao'an and Widow Wu," Lin Fei said, "In addition, he also mentioned several other families in this alley, including merchants and officials. The boss is naturally not sure. But from the outside, it seems that they are all good. Recently, the men are all at home, and they rarely stay outside."

  Since the man is at home, it is naturally impossible for King Yu to go in and fool around. in this way…

"The third room from the left is Mr. Jin, the head of the household department. He has been away on business recently. Because his son and daughter were still in their infancy, he left his wife in Beijing and did not take him out of Chang'an." Fei said, "That Mrs. Jin is beautiful and gentle. Speaking of Mrs. Du, Dao looks dignified."

oh? Is that so? While specifically mentioning that Mrs. Jin's husband is not in Beijing, and the two children are still in their infancy, they still don't know what to do, and at the same time said that Mrs. Jin is "a dignified person". Sure enough, he is an old man who has spent most of his life in the officialdom. This Mr. Du, who has retired, knows the art of "punning words" quite well!
