Lu Fengyu said: "I don't think these two people can be the two from the Marquis of Anping. As the saying goes, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. No matter how much a person can change, some innate temperament and habits It is always impossible to change. But, my lord, have you seen that? That cook is completely careless, that dirty old beggar, ordinary people don't want to get close to her, why should she help her as a wife? Let's see, there's no need to make such a big sacrifice, right? People on the road don't care, and it's normal for the two of them to turn a blind eye. If it's to dispel our suspicions, aren't you afraid of going too far?"
King Xiangyang nodded and said: "Mr. is right, and this king has also paid attention to observation. The cook approached the old beggar, her expressions and movements were very natural and smooth. If she is really a lady who has been well-clothed and well-fed since she was a child, even if she wants to pretend to us Look, there is always a bit of rigidity and disgust in her movements and expressions, but she doesn't have it at all. It seems that this woman is born with an old-fashioned and warm-hearted temperament."
Lu Fengyu said depressedly: "My lord Mingjian, if you weren't born kind, would you scold me because of a few dogs that were slaughtered? Not to mention a little cook, even Su Donglou would not dare to be so rude to me .”
King Xiangyang smiled and said: "Although you have a lot of resentment, you still never forget him. Anyway, today is only one morning, although I don't have any doubts in my heart, but I still have some lumps after all. Since you like that cook so much, how about How about letting Dong Lou and I talk to him and let him give the cook to you?"
Lu Fengyu was surprised at first, then stood up with great joy and said: "Thank you, my lord, my lord's love for me is like a torrential river, and I can't repay one or two of my brains. I can only do my best to help my lord to get back soon." Fulfill your wishes and make great achievements.”
"Hahaha… "
King Xiangyang couldn't help laughing triumphantly, Lu Fengyu could always easily read his mind and pick what he liked to hear the most. Immediately, he waved his hand and said: "What's the point of trivial matters? You don't have to do this, sir. If I have the king to speak, I think Donglou will not give me this face. But you still have to observe carefully, I still believe in your ability. If there is anything wrong with the cook, it must not escape the eyes of the master."
"Naturally, although Xiaguan is as delicious as life, it's not enough to get dizzy just because of a few bites." Lu Fengyu smiled. He has always been confident in his self-control. Of course, after a while, he will find out that the self-control he has always been proud of is just that he has not met the right person. Once he meets such a person. A foodie's self-control can quickly crumble.
"Okay, then it's settled." King Xiangyang patted the table. Made the second decision that he regretted for the rest of his life.
"Do you know who is sitting in the vehicle behind you today?"
In the secret room, Su Donglou tasted delicious snacks, with a leisurely expression of not wanting to be beaten.
"who?"
Both Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan were a little curious, but against Mingyu's Tai Chi. To keep him from whetting his appetite, of course, the young master is more experienced, so he snatched the dim sum plate away immediately. He said coldly: "Give me a quick word, who is it?"
"Prince Xiangyang and Lu Fengyu." Su Donglou's leisurely expression really disappeared. He gave the answer very happily, and then snatched the dessert plate back.
"Isn't it? It was able to disturb the king of Xiangyang?" The couple's eyes widened, but Su Donglou nodded solemnly, and then said seriously: "So you should understand the seriousness of this matter, right?"
"It seems that even if the appearance is changed, it is useless. After all, King Xiangyang is still suspicious of us. Otherwise, people with lower status will not be able to work hard for him."
Duan Tingxuan smiled wryly, but Su Donglou sneered and said, "Nonsense, you two said you went to Niutoushan, but you disappeared as soon as you left the capital. Then a cook with excellent cooking skills came to my house and asked me to I doubt it too. It's all your fault. Didn't you say that you are proficient in everything? Didn't you say that you are both civil and military? As a result, you are stumped by a cooking skill. If there is another man in my house who is proficient in cooking, you Who will be suspicious?"
"Okay, okay, I'm just such a shameful thing, you poked me eight hundred times, and I'm very upset, okay? You don't need to stab me."
Duan Tingxuan was also very depressed, but Su Nuannuan said curiously: "Since the King of Xiangyang has dispatched himself, what is the result? No one has come to assassinate the two of us so far, so it must have been fooled?"
"It's definitely been fooled." Su Donglou nodded very positively, but Duan Tingxuan said seriously, "Why do you say that? The king of Xiangyang is suspicious, and Lu Fengyu is very wise. It's not easy to fool him, right?"
"It's really not easy, but it's true that the two of you are not like the son of the son and the wife of the son of the prince. It is Wu Gou who followed King Xiangyang. After he came back and reported the matter to me, I asked him what he thought. He firmly believed that the two of you Even if it's suspicious, it can't be Anping Hou Shizi and Shizi's wife. He said that even the best actors can't act so well. You two are a couple in the market. The woman is old-fashioned and warm-hearted, and the man is timid and afraid of his wife... "
Listening to the evaluation relayed by Su Donglou, Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan looked at each other. After a long while, Su Nuannuan said with a guilty conscience: "This...is a compliment to the two of us for our superb acting skills? Why does it sound so wrong? Don't we The two of you really look like a market couple, without any extravagance at all?"
"Don't think too much, we both have become like this, what extravagance is there? This is definitely a compliment that our performance is too successful. When the truth is revealed in the future, maybe we can live forever." Duan Tingxuan comforted his wife, but Su Donglou said with a smile: "Even so, the two of you still can't take your guard lightly. Lu Fengyu is the most insidious. Maybe he will dig two holes for you to jump in at any time, including the old beggar today. He sent people to test you."
"Anyway, they shouldn't be so suspicious now, which is a good thing." Su Nuannuan let out a long sigh of relief, and clapped her hands on the table happily: "Well, I'll make two good dishes tomorrow Let's celebrate, although the situation has not yet been opened, but it has finally dispelled the suspicion of the enemy, and it can be regarded as a small achievement."
Su Nuannuan is really happy, but soon, she will find that she is really happy too early.
"You bastard... bastard, how could I steal your rags? Hurry up and let me go, or I'll tell the master, you won't be able to eat all of them."
Hao Dong struggled desperately. Dozens of people shouted angrily in front of him and behind him. Chang San and the other two servants were desperately arguing, while the new servant who the master told him to pay attention to was punched while arguing. After falling to the ground, he hid aside and didn't dare to make a sound again. No wonder he was so cowardly that even his wife was scared, this is a eggless thing at all.
Even in such a situation, Hao Dong did not forget to observe hard, his guts were green with regret, he should never have done it, he should not have been greedy for a while, and when he saw the ebony box in the ancestral hall, he wanted to take the sheep by hand Who knew that these mud-legged people had sharp eyes, so quickly they found that the box was missing and caught up with them. Before they had time to deal with the box, they caught them right away.
"Stop pretending. In the ancestral hall, I saw you always leaning towards the treasure box. As soon as you left, the box disappeared. It wasn't you who stole it, who else could have stolen it? Even if you tell the owner, we will Don't be afraid, he was caught by us for stealing things, so why don't we let us deal with it?"
"You... spew blood." With a guilty conscience, Hao Dong's voice became more and more harsh and sharp, and suddenly he heard an old man say: "If you don't admit it, then let us search your body to see if there is a treasure box?" Wan Wan didn't wait for Hao Dong's objection, and stepped forward to untie his package.
Now Hao Dong's face turned pale, and after only half a yell, the ebony box inside the package was revealed. This time, even Chang San and the other two servants had nothing to say.
This time they came to Xiaowangzhuang to collect rent, but it was raining unexpectedly, so everyone hid from the rain in the ancestral hall at the east end of the village. There is an ebony box on the ancestral hall, it is not big, but it is a complete set. There are small boxes in the big box, and there are nine boxes in a set. As the saying goes, it is better to have ebony than a box of gold, which shows how precious this ebony is.
Everyone was amazed at that time, but they didn't expect that shortly after they left, dozens of farmers who were hiding from the rain rushed up, saying that the ebony box was missing, and they insisted that Hao Dong stole it, because Hao Dong was hiding from the rain. Always near the ebony box.
Of course Chang San and the others didn't believe it, so they argued with the farmer, but they didn't expect that a set of ebony boxes were found from Hao Dong's parcel at this time, so what else can they say? At the moment when everyone looked at me and I looked at you, Chang San gave the pale-faced Hao Dong a vicious look, discussed with the two servants for a while, and then said to the old man who opened the package: "Old man, I will definitely deal with this matter." I will give you an explanation, how about this Hao Dong be imprisoned in your ancestral hall until our master sends someone to deal with it?"
"No, what if the boss sends someone to just take him away and then release him?"
Although the old man is a farmer, he is very shrewd. When he heard the words, he immediately refuted, but Chang San smiled proudly: "Who is the master? How can you take this thing with dirty hands and claws in your eyes? It's just that he is also ours. The slaves in the mansion must be dealt with by the master. How about you imprison them first and deal with them in front of your faces when the master sends someone over, how about it?"
Hearing that people would not be taken away quietly, the old man thought about it and agreed. The ebony box is the treasure of their entire Xiaowangzhuang. It has been kept in the ancestral hall for more than 500 years without incident. Today, it was almost stolen from under their noses. How could this not make them angry? Anyway, no matter who the boss sent, they would never let this kid escape, they had to cut off his two thieves' claws.
