Eyebrows drooping, eyes rolling...
Li Caifeng's disdain and suspicion towards Zhu Ping'an were written all over her face, and it was hard for her friends not to notice it.
"Feng'er, you are such a heartless little girl. Why do you have such an expression when you mention Master Xiao Zhu? If it weren't for Master Xiao Zhu..."
"That's right. This time it's all thanks to Master Xiao Zhu. Anyway, Feng'er, you have to thank Master Xiao Zhu."
The friends talked to each other and educated Li Caifeng.
However, the more her friends did this, the more Li Caifeng's rebellious psychology rebounded, and the more obvious the disgust on her face became.
"Thank him, and be well?!"
Hearing this, Li Caifeng's face was filled with disgust. She snorted and imitated Zhu Ping'an's words in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, since you all say that this piece of silk is yours, I think it's better to divide it in two, and each of you will get half of the silk. Is that okay? That big idiot judged the case like this, and you still want me to thank him? Are you still my good sisters?"
"Oh, Feng'er, I think you are the fool." Cui'er, a slightly older girl among the friends, couldn't help but stepped forward and tapped Li Caifeng's forehead with her finger, saying angrily and amusedly.
"Sister Cui'er, how can you say I'm a fool just for an outsider..." Li Caifeng pouted in grievance.
"What outsider? He's your benefactor." Cui'er rolled her eyes at Li Caifeng and corrected her seriously.
"That stupid pig is my benefactor? Ha."
Upon hearing this, Li Caifeng snorted in disgust, her back teeth almost showing.
"You stupid girl, do you think that's how Lord Xiao Zhu solves cases?" Cui'er couldn't help but roll her eyes again.
"Sister Cui'er, you don't have a fever, do you?"
Li Caifeng reached out her hand and touched Cui'er's forehead, then shook her head, "Hey, you don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense? Didn't we all see how he solved the case?! He cut my silk cloth in two on the spot. What's there to doubt?!"
"You silly girl, Master Zhu did that on purpose." Cui'er slapped Li Caifeng's chubby hand away and said angrily.
"ha?"
Li Caifeng blinked, confused and suspicious.
"Look at Feng Er's silly look, ha ha ha... It's exactly the same as what we heard. That's right, if we can all guess how Master Xiao Zhu will solve the case, then the top scholar would be worthless."
The little girls nearby couldn't help but giggle while covering their mouths when they saw Li Caifeng's expression.
ha
Li Caifeng's confused face is more vivid and can be used as an emoticon.
"Okay, my silly sister, you don't know that Master Xiao Zhu did it on purpose. After we left, Master Xiao Zhu asked Manager Liu to separate you and Zhang Xiyue and arranged you to work in different places. Then he had people observe you secretly. The one who was sad and angry was the owner of the silk cloth, and the one who was happy was the thief... Think about it, the owner would definitely be unhappy because he lost half a piece of silk cloth for no reason, and the thief would definitely be happy because he got half a piece of silk cloth in broad daylight. You got so angry in the woodroom that you almost set it on fire. You don't know that Zhang Xiyue was humming a song while washing clothes. She was so happy... So, Manager Liu controlled Zhang Xiyue, and after interrogating her, he found out that she was the one who stole the silk cloth." Cui'er told Li Caifeng the whole story.
"ah?!"
Li Caifeng was stunned when she heard that. Her mouth opened as big and round as an eggplant. She never expected that Mr. Zhu, who looked honest and simple, could come up with such a genius way to judge a case!
There was no stolen property, no witnesses, nothing.
My family is indeed short of money.
No matter how I looked at it, I felt that I, the owner of the lost items, looked more like a thief. I thought I would be labeled a thief. At that time, I was most optimistic that this would be a case without a clear head, but I was afraid that even if that was the case, everyone would still look at me as a thief.
How can I survive in Prince Yu’s Mansion with the hat of a thief
My father had managed to send me to the palace with great difficulty. If I were kicked out, what would I do with my mother’s illness? And my younger brother is still so young... I simply couldn’t imagine it.
But.
I didn't expect that Lord Xiao Zhu could come up with such a brilliant idea to solve the case and clear his name.
Think about it
I just kept calling Mr. Xiao Zhu a stupid pig, and even wanted to chop him up like firewood. It turns out that I am the biggest stupid pig in the world. Not only stupid, but also ungrateful, repaying kindness with hatred, repaying kindness with grievances, killing the donkey after it has done its work, and raising mice to bite the bag...
ashamed.
Self-blame.
Li Caifeng's face was so red that it looked like blood was dripping out. At this moment, she even wanted to take the blame and apologize.
If you want to promote something, you must first suppress it, and the effect will be doubled.
No matter how much Li Caifeng complained about Zhu Ping'an before, she was now ten thousand times more grateful to him.
No matter how stupid Zhu Ping'an was in Li Caifeng's eyes before, now in her eyes, Zhu Ping'an was ten thousand times smarter.
It had fallen into a deep valley before.
At this moment, Zhu Ping'an's image is extremely high.
After hiding his achievements and fame at the gate of the west courtyard, Zhu Ping'an returned to his office and concentrated on his work. Although the Prince Yu's Mansion was small, it was like a small kingdom. There were many different things to do, which was very training. During the time Zhu Ping'an was in the Prince Yu's Mansion, his ability to handle government affairs improved a lot.
Dongdong
Zhu Ping'an, who was handling official business, heard a knock on the door and said "Come in" without even raising his head.
Crunch
The door opened, and the aroma of meat buns wafted in.
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitch his nose. When he raised his head, he saw the future Empress Dowager Li appear in front of him. Her cheeks were flushed and she lowered her head. She stood there at a loss, holding two large meat buns wrapped in oil paper in her little hands. She opened her little mouth twice but didn't know what to say. Her red lips opened and closed like a goldfish caught on the shore.
"Sir... this is for you."
Li Caifeng mustered up the courage to speak, but she stumbled. After she called someone an adult, her ears turned red. In the end, she simply closed her mouth and stuffed the meat bun in her hand into Zhu Ping'an's hand.
"Thank you, sir, for clearing my name."
After delivering the meat buns, Li Caifeng turned around and ran. She didn't seem nervous at all and spoke much more fluently.
certainly
If you don't bump into the door when you run.
Looking at the steaming meat buns in his hand, Zhu Ping'an's mouth twitched twice. The future Queen Li's gift was really unique...
But it smells quite good.
All right.
I will accept this thank you gift.
These must be the two most valuable buns in the world.
Zhu Ping'an picked up a meat bun and took a bite. Hmm, it was soft, fresh and fragrant without being greasy. This meat bun was really well made.
Say
If it weren't for me, Zhu Ping'an, the person eating this meat bun today would be Zhang Juzheng.
Come to think of it.
Today, after the fasting and offering ceremony, Gao Gong returned to Prince Yu's Mansion from Xiyuan. On the way, he passed by the square and recited the fasting and offering ceremony with me. After passing the square, he chatted with me about the meaning of the scriptures along the way. They walked and talked at a much slower pace.
And if I, Zhu Ping'an, were not there, there would be no one to hold a ceremony and discuss Buddhist scriptures with Gao Gong, and the journey to Gao Gong would have been at least ten minutes less.
Then Gao Gong would arrive at Prince Yu's Mansion in advance.
And Zhang Juzheng would still come to Prince Yu's Mansion at that time, and he would still see the scene of maids arguing over silk cloth, but he would not meet Gao Gong.
Then Gao Gong would not have asked Zhang Juzheng to talk about ancient books.
Then Zhang Juzheng would intervene in the dispute between the maids over the silk cloth. With Zhang Juzheng's intelligence, although the method he thought of might be different from his own, he would definitely be able to find the real thief and clear Li Caifeng's name.
Zhang Juzheng was so handsome and helped Li Caifeng solve such a big crisis in her life.
Li Caifeng must have different feelings for Zhang Juzheng.
Then, the historical rumors that Zhang Juzheng slept on the Dragon Bed and had an affair with Empress Li may be true.
But.
From today on, everything changed.
At this critical historical juncture, the protagonist became me, Zhu Ping'an.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an is also self-aware. With his looks, it is impossible for Queen Li to have any other feelings for him. She will only feel grateful to him. Haha, Zhu Ping'an does have this self-awareness, and this is the best.
