Ji Mingxiu spent an unspeakable night. In the past, the young prime minister only paid tribute to him once in the morning, but last night, he caused a night of rebellion. Finally, at dawn, the little prime minister Ming Jin withdrew his troops.
Ji Mingxiu was relieved, and returned to the bedroom to catch up on some sleep, but suddenly, Ming'an knocked on the door: "Master, are you awake? Jing Zhaoyin begs to see you!"
Early in the morning, Jingzhaofu didn't even start work, so Jingzhaofu came to see him—
Ji Mingxiu sat up calmly: "Let him go to the study."
"yes!"
Ming An invited Jing Zhaoyin into the study, and called Lvzhu to make tea. Jing Zhaoyin didn't dare to drink or sit down, so he just stood there respectfully, waiting anxiously, and finally waited for a quarter of an hour for Ji After meditation, she changed her clothes and appeared at the door.
He hurried forward and bowed fearfully: "My lord, I have something to do!"
"explain."
A trace of hesitation flashed across Jing Zhaoyin's face, and finally he shook his heart, cupped his hands and said, "Early this morning, His Royal Highness Prince Yin sent someone to the yamen to pick up Ms. Qiao! Said... Willing to vouch for Ms. Qiao , and pardon her innocence! Xiaguan... Xiaguan didn't dare to fight him hard, so he obediently let Miss Qiao out of the prison, and as soon as they left, Xiaguan came to deliver a letter to you!"
Strictly speaking, Jing Zhaoyin is not an official of Ji Mingxiu's lineage, he has been making peace with various forces, and he has both ways, so when King Yin came to ask for someone, he let him go decisively, but after he released him, he also knew to give the prime minister send a letter.
Ji Mingxiu glanced at him indifferently, and with just one glance, he saw through his little Jiujiu, and lightly pulled the corner of his lips: "Jing Zhaoyin has a heart."
Jing Zhaoyin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "It is the duty of a subordinate official to serve the adults."
Ji Mingxiu didn't bother to argue with him anymore: "Now that you know the truth, you can step back."
"Yes." Jing Zhaoyin withdrew respectfully.
Ming An scolded with a stinking face: "Prince Yin! He's spoiling our good business again! It's all over now, everyone is out of prison, so I definitely don't agree to divorce!" After a pause, he muttered in a low voice: " Your hexagram is not accurate."
Ji Mingxiu said calmly, "A bet?"
"I don't want it anymore!" Ming An refused without hesitation. He lost ten taels of silver in a bet with his master last year, and he is still heartbroken. "Do you think there is something wrong with King Yin? Doesn't he also hate the Qiao family? Why? Want to help the Qiao family?"
It is true that King Yin hates the Qiao family, but King Yin hates him. The relationship between the two has always been undercurrent. The incident five years ago gave both of them a suitable excuse to bring all the conflicts to the surface. In fact, no matter whether Da Qiao climbed into King Yin's bed or not, he and King Yin would still go to the opposite side, but sooner or later.
"Master, does he know that Liu Ye was hidden by us?" Ming An asked.
Ji Mingxiu hummed lightly.
Ming'an suddenly realized: "No wonder he rushed to create trouble for us, I'm really unhappy!"
Ji Mingxiu sneered, whether it is Da Qiao's family or the sixth master, it is just a fuse. The root cause of his confrontation with King Yin has never been on these people, but if he thinks that this will ruin his good deeds, then Li Yin is too naive.
…
Qiao Yuxi was imprisoned for more than ten days, until her body was almost moldy, and she finally saw the light of day again.
After leaving Jingzhao Mansion, looking at the dazzling sunlight outside, Qiao Yuxi was so excited that tears came out: "Mom!"
Mrs. Xu patted her daughter's hand happily: "Mother knows that you have been wronged, but all your grievances are worth it. If you didn't insist, Mother might have annulled the marriage long ago in exchange for your release from prison."
"Mother—" Qiao Yuxi held Xu's hand, "You really haven't retired? Can I really be the prime minister's wife again?"
Mrs. Xu smiled without hesitation: "Of course! You have already been released from prison. How can the Prime Minister threaten the Qiao family to withdraw?"
It would be nice if she could marry the prime minister, her hardships these days are finally not in vain!
Qiao Yuxi saw the crab roe cakes on the table, raised her dirty hands, and ate them hungrily.
"Ouch, eat slowly, no one will compete with you... Come, drink some water..."
The mother and daughter were talking, and wandered to Qiao's house.
Mama Lin had invited a Taoist priest to her home to do the practice to drive away the bad luck from prison for Qiao Yuxi. The Taoist asked Qiao Yuxi to step over the brazier, burned paper money, worshiped the ancestors of heaven and earth, and sprinkled the dew of Goddess of Mercy on her head. The complicated procedures continued until night fell.
Just when Qiao Yuxi was finally able to sit at home and have a delicious meal with his family, Mother Lin walked in with a hurried expression: "It's not good, ma'am! Something happened to the master!"
…
There was a murder case in the palace—the nobleman Ying, who was just pregnant not long ago, had a miscarriage inexplicably. Since she entered the palace, nobleman Ying has been favored by the emperor. Both the nobleman and the emperor attach great importance to it. After this kind of incident happened, the emperor immediately ordered people to thoroughly investigate all possible hidden dangers. Finally, he found clues in Yingguiren's anti-fetal medicine.
"Aconite!" said the imperial physician from the imperial hospital.
The eunuch in charge said: "Sir, are you sure it's aconite?"
The imperial physician nodded: "I am sure."
Aconitum, also known as aconitum, has a pungent taste and enters the heart, spleen, and kidneys. It can restore yang and rescue yang, tonify fire and support yang, dispel cold and dehumidify, but because of its pungent heat and dryness, it has certain toxicity, so people with yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity It is forbidden to eat with pregnant women.
The eunuch in charge said: "Who is taking care of Mrs. Ying's fetus?"
Pointing to the imperial physician, he said, "It's the envoy of Qiao Yuan."
Hospital envoy is the second most important official position in the imperial hospital, and the emperor actually sent him to treat a nobleman, which shows the emperor's love for nobleman Ying.
"Emissary Qiao is also responsible for the usual medicinal materials and prescriptions?" asked the eunuch in charge.
Pointing to the imperial doctor, he said: "Exactly, the envoy Qiao is very concerned about Yinggui's fetus. The prescriptions and medicinal materials must be tested by him before they can be sent to Qionghua Palace."
In this way, the most suspected person is the envoy of Qiao Yuan.
That night, Uncle Qiao was imprisoned in Dali Temple. It is worth mentioning that the minister of Dali Temple who came to arrest Uncle Qiao was none other than Ji Wan's husband Lin Yanshu.
"Master! Master!" Mrs. Xu rushed to Dali Temple overnight. Dali Temple is much stricter than Jingzhao Mansion. ? Why did you get caught in prison when you are so good?"
Uncle Qiao stood in the dirty cell with a dazed and dignified expression: "I don't know either."
Xu said anxiously: "You really didn't harm Mrs. Ying's womb, did you?"
Uncle Qiao said coldly: "Of course not! I always remember the teachings of my ancestors, practice medicine, ask medicine, be kind, and never waste my life for my own selfishness. How could I do such a vicious thing?"
Xu was even more anxious: "Then, what's the matter?"
Uncle Qiao sighed, and said solemnly: "Since Dali Temple has taken over the case, it must find out the truth and give me justice."
"What if... what if we can't find out?"
This is not an ordinary case, it is a "murder case" in the palace, killing the future prince, what kind of person is capable of such a thing
Although she has never been in the palace, she often hears about the methods of cannibalism in the palace from the mouths of those noble ladies.
Back then, the former queen was pregnant with Liujia, but she was also murdered by someone, and she almost killed two people.
At that time, her husband had not been admitted to the Grand Hospital, so the eldest brother Qiao Zheng was appointed as a supervisor in the Grand Hospital. Unfortunately, the eldest brother couldn't heal the former queen, and it was Shen's who took the initiative to keep the mother and child safe.
But even so, the former queen was still hurt at the root, and the situation went from bad to worse, and she left the crown prince in a few years.
The prince's situation is not very good, so far he is a medicine jar.
The culprit who killed the first empress and the crown prince has never been found out. It is said that later on, in order to deal with the affairs, several palace officials were pushed out to take the blame, but how could the palace officials have the guts to frame the queen of a country? Anyone with a discerning eye understands that something is wrong, but there is no way to find out more.
Xu was worried that her husband would repeat the mistakes of the previous empress and take the blame for others, and he would not be able to take it off until he died.
Mrs. Xu sat down on the wooden bed, took out her handkerchief and cried, "Which god did our family offend this year? One by one, they went to prison! After Xi'er got out, you got in again!"
Hearing that his daughter came out, Uncle Qiao was somewhat comforted in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Is the divorce going well?"
Xu stopped crying: "No retreat."
Uncle Qiao was taken aback for a moment: "Didn't retreat?"
Mrs. Xu wiped the tears from her face, looked at him and said, "I didn't go to the prime minister's mansion to retire, we, Xi'er, still have a chance to marry the prime minister!" Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "That's right, that's right. Yes, when Xi'er becomes the prime minister's wife, I will be able to avenge your innocence! You really have to thank me for hesitating all night, otherwise, if I listen to you and withdraw my marriage early, who do you expect in prison Save you out?"
Uncle Qiao frowned. "You didn't divorce, how did Xi'er get out of prison?"
"It was His Royal Highness Prince Yin who went to Jingzhao Mansion to do business, and heard about Xi'er by accident. He thought that Xi'er was just a child, young and ignorant, and it was enough to be locked up for so long, so he asked Jing Zhaoyin to release Xi'er. "When mentioning this, Xu's sad mood was healed. She is smart. She accidentally left a retreat for her husband. She smiled triumphantly, "How about it? I'm smart, right?"
When Uncle Qiao heard this, it would be unreasonable if he still couldn't guess the reason why he was imprisoned. He just said that he worked hard in the imperial hospital, never did evil to others, and acted cautiously and prudently. No one would want to harm him. Yes, right now, he finally understands the crux of the matter.
Pointing to Qiao's nose, he said bitterly, "You stupid woman! You killed me!"
…
Qiao Wei has been busy with Rongji's business recently. She spends less time in the village and spends less time with her children. Today, she specially pushed the matter over there and stayed at home to farm and spend time with her children. Of course, she will not admit that she is afraid of Boss Rong found out that he had swapped his Hua Diao—
The progress of the construction site is faster than expected, probably because her food is so good
The prototype has come out, a very big house, the master craftsmen are laying green bricks in circles, and it looks particularly fulfilling.
Er Gouziniang and Aunt Zhao were invited to cook for the masters. Their craftsmanship is not very good, but they can't help Qiao Weiken to buy meat, and occasionally hunt some hare and pheasant, pork belly, chicken, fish, rabbit, etc. Meat... Every meal is full of meat, and the big guys are very satisfied.
"Little Qiao." The village chief walked over with a smile on his face, holding a big plantain leaf in his hand, fanning the wind as he walked, "What are you up to now? I haven't seen you yet."
Qiao Wei turned around and smiled slightly: "Village Chief, I have been busy with some small business in the town these days, and I came back very late. Do you have anything to do with me?"
It's okay, maybe we won't climb up the mountain in such a hot day.
The village chief was sweating and a little tired. He panted and smiled and said, "I'm here to congratulate you. I heard that your business is doing well and you're about to make a fortune!"
"Where is it, a small business, just to support the family, can't make a lot of money." Qiao Wei said politely.
"Oh, don't be polite to me. I've been to your shrimp shop, and the business is so good that I can squeeze out. Is this to make a little money?" The village chief glared at her.
Qiao Wei still understands the truth that the name should not be exposed, and the wealth should not be exposed. She smiled and said, "I am a part-time worker, and all the money I earn goes into the pocket of the boss. What can I get?"
The village chief naturally thought that the other party was a part-time worker, and he would not have thought that the other party had become Rongji's second boss, but the business was really good, and the village chief felt that the monthly money must be much better than farming: "You alone Is there a lot of money every month?"
Qiao Wei said: "Look at what you said, how can it be? The monthly fee is really so high, so I won't farm anymore, right?"
"Aren't you also doing business?" the village chief asked.
Qiao Wei smiled: "You mean snacks, all the money I earned was used to build houses."
"I don't ask you to borrow money, so why are you so guarded against me?" The village head said jokingly.
Qiao Wei smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't guard against you, I'm telling the truth, I can't guard against anyone, I can't guard against you, without you, I can't buy this land, I can't build this house!"
She is really good at talking on the scene, she can fool around forever with her eyes closed, except for her tongue getting tied up in front of meditation.
The village chief smiled: "It's good that you know. When you came to our village, I didn't agree with it. You brought two children, and you were in a mess. You didn't say anything to you, but you kept crying. You didn't know who you were. It’s not that I did something wrong outside. I saw how pitiful you were later on, so I agreed to let you live in it. The earthen house on your mountain was built by myself when I was young! I built it for them to guard the mountain and kept it for several years Everyone was too lazy to guard, so it was vacant."
Qiao Wei laughed dryly: "You are really my reborn parents."
What are you going to do? She has invited a lot of merit here.
"I came to see you today. Actually, I have two things to ask you for advice." The village chief finally got to the point.
Qiao Wei asked: "What's the matter, you can just say it, it's too extravagant to ask for advice, I'm a woman, young and inexperienced, so I can't afford you to be so polite."
The village chief laughed amusedly: "You have such a mouth, no wonder the business is so good! Anyone who listens to you is happy!" After a pause, he smiled slightly, "The first thing, is Your piece of East Village wasteland."
"What's wrong with the wasteland? It's not that you see me planting crops and want to go back and accept my rent, right? I've just started planting! Who knows if the harvest will be good?" The wasteland was reclaimed for her, and the village head promised no rent or tax. The Liang Dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and was willing to invest heavily in agricultural development. Not only did the pioneers have no rent or tax for the first three years, but they might even get rewards from the government if they planted well.
Seeing that she was about to cry, the village chief was annoyed and amused: "Does the village chief seem like the kind of person who backtracks? I see that you really planted seedlings in the wasteland, and I want to ask how you did it."
This, let me tell you earlier, scared her to death, and thought she was required to pay the rent and taxes, and she started to feel heartbroken.
Qiao Wei graciously took the village chief to the field, pointed to the land under her feet and said, "The reason why this land can't grow anything is because its soil quality has changed. The reasons for the change are more complicated. I guess one of them is One is related to the nearby reservoir, and it is possible that the side seepage of the water in the ditch caused the groundwater table to rise, which promoted the accumulation of salt and formed the saline-alkali land.”
"Saline-alkali land?" It was the first time the village chief heard such a name, but he knew salt and alkali, so he could probably understand the meaning here, "You mean it's too salty?"
Qiao Wei explained: "Its salt content is too high. Planting ordinary crops in saline-alkali land is like throwing fish in the river into the sea. They cannot survive."
In this way, the village head understood: "Then why is your sorghum all right?"
Qiao Wei said: "Sweet sorghum itself is a salt-tolerant crop, and I improved the soil quality a little before planting, which diluted the salt in the soil."
The village head was thoughtful: "I remember that a few days ago you diverted water from the reservoir into the field, and you were washing the field!"
"... Is it okay to say that?" This is roughly what it means.
The village chief smiled: "I can't see it, Xiao Qiao, you know how to farm so much, why couldn't you even manage a radish field a few days ago?"
That's not me at all!
The village chief didn't worry about the past, he was more concerned about the future: "What you said is very valuable, I will write it down and report it to the government office, maybe it can help more barren fields to be reclaimed."
Qiao Wei paused, and said: "The reasons for the formation of barren land are different, and the corresponding method cannot be applied mechanically. If it is determined to be saline-alkali land, then my method is feasible."
The village head nodded: "I understand, besides diverting water to wash the soil, is there any other improvement method?"
"Planting some saline-alkali-tolerant vegetation, or the excrement of earthworms can also improve the soil quality of saline-alkali land."
"Earthworm?" The village chief looked confused.
What were earthworms called in ancient times? Qiao Wei's brain suddenly short-circuited: "It's just... like a little snake in the ground."
In this way, the village head will understand: "Earth Dragon?"
Qiao Wei smiled: "Yes, it's the earth dragon!"
The earth dragon is a good thing. It can not only clear away heat, calm the liver, relieve asthma, and tongluo, but also improve the soil quality of the saline-alkali land. She didn't use this method because she saw this mollusc and felt scared. But if the village chief wants to collect If it is a method of improving saline-alkali land, then it could not be more suitable.
"There should be other ways to improve it. I'll go back and think about it carefully. After sorting it out, I'll write a written report for you."
Written report
What are you talking about
But he can understand it.
The village head said kindly, "That's a lot of hard work for you. Our village is not limited to this piece of wasteland. If all can be improved, I will credit you for your credit!"
Qiao Wei smiled and said: "The village chief is offended when he said this. I am also a villager in Rhinoceros Village now, and I should do something for the village." She added in her heart—as long as she is not asked to collect rent and taxes, "That's right , what is the second thing you want me to do?"
"Well..." The village chief's smile suddenly became a little embarrassed, "I'm quite embarrassed to say that."
Sure enough, the main event was coming later, Qiao Wei patted the dirt off her hands calmly: "Just tell me, what else can I help you with?"
The village chief pointed to the front: "Go to my place for a cup of tea first."
Qiao Wei went to his house with the village chief. The village chief's wife had already cut a large plate of fresh honeydew melon, placed melon seeds and a few snacks, it seemed that she came prepared.
"Little Qiao, come quickly, sit down!" The village chief's wife warmly welcomed her to the chair, "Eat some honeydew melon."
Qiao Wei ate a piece.
The village head's wife said with a smile: "I have something to ask you, I wonder if the village head told you?"
Qiao Wei looked at the village chief, then at her, and bent her lips: "Not yet."
"No." The village head's wife gave the village head a weak look, sat down beside Qiao Wei, and said with a smile on her face: "That's right, didn't my sister Chun marry in the town? They live together The place where you do business is not far away, you are on Yuanlin Street, and they are on Jiangshui Street, just a few steps away."
It seems... not so close
Qiao Wei ate the melon without saying a word.
The village head's wife smiled embarrassingly: "My son-in-law wants to learn the craft and open a shop by himself. The village head said... your shrimp sells very well."
Qiao Wei understood: "Want to learn how to cook?"
"It's enough to learn how to cook shrimp! He only sells shrimp!" The wife of the village head said excitedly.
"Has he cooked before?" Qiao Wei asked.
Seeing that she refused without opening a word, the village head's wife felt hopeful in her heart: "No, but he can learn, just be a shrimp...it shouldn't be difficult, right?"
If it's a master, it's not difficult, she demonstrates it a few times and everyone will be able to, but if it's a novice, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get on the road.
"Little Qiao, do you think so?" The village head's wife looked at Qiao Wei's face.
The village head said, "Xiao Qiao is a migrant worker. Her boss has the final say on this matter. It's useless if you force her."
"I'm not..." The wife of the village chief hated her husband for dismantling her, making it seem as if the daughter belonged to her alone, and the son-in-law had nothing to do with him. Didn't she want the prodigal couple to have a stable life? Make a living? The shrimp business is so easy to do now, even the suppliers are so rich, didn't you see that Luo Yongzhi even bought a car
Qiao Wei still said the same thing, I don’t charge my rent or my tax, everything is negotiable, not to mention that Xia’s practice has been almost stolen by her peers, she doesn’t care about teaching another peer: “Doing this is very hard work Yes, let him go over there to help the cooks at night, and he will see if he can do it himself."
"Xiao Qiao, is this really all right? Will it affect your business?" The village chief asked worriedly. An official is most taboo to ruin his reputation. If people say that he takes advantage of his position to force Xiao Qiao to give his daughter His son-in-law is making a living, so he can't argue with it.
Qiao Wei shook her head and smiled: "No, don't worry, village chief."
Yung Kee's reputation has already been established. Even if some colleagues imitate the taste to be 90% similar, it can't change the position of the leader of Rong Kee. What's more, Rong Kee's dishes are always improving and innovating. not on.
Besides, the village head helped her so much, and gave her more than ten square meters of permanent land for free. This small return is really nothing.
"I'll go to town tomorrow, and you tell him to go directly to Rongji to find me," Qiao Wei said.
"Don't wait for tomorrow!" The village head's wife smiled and shouted to the back room, "Yao Qing! Come out quickly! Xiao Qiao agreed!"
A tall and thin young man came out of the back room. He looked about twenty-three, with regular features, well-dressed, more decent than the villagers.
The village chief's wife took him by the sleeve, pulled him in front of Qiao Wei, and introduced with a smile: "This is your sister Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao, this is my son-in-law Yao Qing."
He was older than Qiao Wei, and my sister couldn't scream.
Qiao Wei smoothed things over: "You can just call me Xiao Qiao."
The village head's wife said: "Little Qiao, it's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. You can take him there today. I heard that the season for eating shrimp is only a few months. After that, you have to wait until next year."
Qiao Wei was startled: "Do you want to open this year?" Don't you mean a novice? You have to study for at least two or three months, right
"He only learns one kind of dish, and he can learn it very quickly. He is very smart!" the village head's wife said confidently.
But in Qiao Wei's view, this is too eager for quick success. It's like expecting a child who has never learned to walk to participate in a marathon directly. It's a fantasy: "Try it for two days first."
"Hey, good!" The village head's wife turned her head and told Yao Qing to listen to Qiao Wei's words, not to cause trouble for Qiao Wei, and remember to ask Qiao Wei for advice if she doesn't understand.
I wanted to "leisure" at home for a few days, but it seemed impossible, but she promised to accompany the two little buns for dinner, and she still waited until they came back.
"Is mother going to town again?" During dinner, Wang Shu became unhappy, mother went to town every day, and she couldn't see mother's people when she slept.
Jing Yun was silent. During this period of time, he couldn't see his mother all the time, and he was also very disappointed.
And me and me!
Xiaobai slipped into Qiao Wei's arms.
Qiao Wei lifted its tail, and threw him onto the chair with a click. She stroked the little heads of the two children and said softly, "Then, will you go to town with your mother today?"
The little bun's eyes lit up!
Aunt Luo worried: "Will it be too late?" Every time Qiao Wei came home, it was almost midnight. It was hard for the adults to stay up like this, and it was even more difficult for the children. "They both have to go to school in the morning."
"I can get up! I can get up!" Wang Shu hugged Qiao Wei's neck, as if she would depend on her mother to die.
Qiao Wei was overwhelmed by her rambunctious appearance, and said with a smile: "I'm not doing anything today, so I'll take Yao Qing there, and I'll be back soon."
After dinner, Qiao Wei took two little buns to meet Yao Qing at the entrance of the village. The village head had already hired Shuan Zi's father's carriage, and they boarded the carriage and headed for Rhino Town.
Yao Qing didn't talk much, and his temper was a bit boring, but he seemed to have a little interest in learning cooking, and asked Qiao Wei a few business questions on the way.
When we arrived at Rongji, the food stalls outside had already been set up. Master He and Master Hai were explaining the evening side dishes to the apprentices. Qiao Wei greeted them, and entered the restaurant with Xiao Baozi and Yao Qing: "Boss Rong What? Little Six."
Xiao Liu pointed to the counter.
Boss Rong is small, and when he sat behind the counter, he was overwhelmed.
Qiao Wei approached the counter and looked in: "Brother Rong?"
Boss Rong raised his head slowly, a pair of giant panda eyes startled Qiao Wei severely!
"Are you bewitched?!"
Boss Rong picked up two peeled stone roll eggs on the table, and stuck them around his eyes, gasping for pain as he stuck them: "You're just bewitched, I got into a fight, okay? "
Qiao Wei was so shocked that her mouth opened wide: "I heard it right, do you have the guts to fight with someone? Who did you fight with? Why? I'll fight back for you!"
Xiao Rongrong who dared to bully her, is she impatient? !
Boss Rong choked up and pointed to his left eye: "The doctor who sells medicine on North Street sold me fake medicine! I went to smash his stall, and he beat me."
"What counterfeit medicine?" Qiao Wei asked.
"Seven times a night, the golden gun can't pour Dabu Wan!" Seven times a night, he can't do it once!
Xiao Liu cleared his throat: "The kitchen seems to be calling me, I'll go and have a look."
"What about your right eye? He also hit it?" Qiao Wei was very angry!
"No, this one was beaten by Lao Zhangtou. I have been a neighbor with him for decades, and he actually sold me fake wine! I have been hiding as a treasure for twenty years. I can't get angry, so I went to him to reason. , he beat me up... woo woo..." Boss Rong was twitching sadly, "Little Qiao, you will avenge me—"
"The kitchen seems to call me too." Qiao Wei interrupted him solemnly, dragged the two little buns and Yao Qing, and walked away as if no one was there.
Boss Rong: "..."
…
Qiao Wei arranged Yao Qing in the kitchen, starting with selecting and washing the shrimp, and then Qiao Wei sent the children to her account room upstairs.
Yung Kee has its own ice cellar. The ice cubes collected in winter can be stored in summer and can be used with confidence because they use well water and can be eaten directly.
On a whim, Qiao Wei chiselled a bowl of shaved ice with a knife, served it with her own rose marinade, put a few cherries on it, and a bowl of transparent and attractive cherry rose smoothie was freshly baked.
She ate a little by herself first, and after making sure there was nothing wrong with it, she divided it into small bowls and gave it to the children.
Xiaobai has made rapid progress in the private school. Now he can not only add and subtract within 100, but also know a lot of words. Most importantly, he can use a spoon!
It sits cross-legged on the table, holds a bowl of smoothie, feeds it into its mouth spoon by spoon, babbles, babbles, babbles.
The big yellow cat walked over gracefully: "Meow—"
Xiaobai fed it a spoonful, and it was so cold that the cat's fur exploded! Slipped and ran up the beam!
The children were eating happily, and on the other side, a luxurious and exquisite carriage stopped outside Rongji.
"Are you sure it's here?" Mrs. Xu lifted the curtain of the car.
Qiao Yuxi asked Xingzhu beside him: "Is it here?"
Xingzhu nodded: "Yes, madam, miss, those dim sum and preserved eggs are all bought here."
Qiao Yuxi looked at the new stall on the right hand side, and frowned, "It's getting worse and worse, I'm eating outside."
Mrs. Xu pressed the center of her brows, and sighed wearily: "Okay, don't worry about those things. It was hard to find out the whereabouts of the old lady. Let's buy something and go to see the old lady. For the current plan, only her The old man has a way to rescue your father."
Dali Temple is not as easy to be fooled as Jingzhao Mansion, not to mention anything else, just say that Dali Temple Minister is not a big Buddha that ordinary people can shake.
Qiao Yuxi actually didn't want to go to Mrs. Ji, she was afraid that Mrs. Ji would blame her if she knew about the "good deed" she had done: "Mother, why don't we go and ask His Royal Highness Prince Yin? He is a good man, look this time He saved me!"
Mrs. Xu nodded her forehead: "You! They just saved you, don't touch your nose!"
"But… "
Mrs. Xu patted her hand: "I know what you're thinking, don't worry, the old lady won't blame you, I have my own way to make the old lady blame others for her fault!"
Qiao Yuxi said stubbornly: "I still think His Royal Highness Prince Yin is more feasible."
Mrs. Xu said with hatred: "You girl, have you ever thought about who the minister of Dali Temple is? It's Mrs. Lin, Ji Wan's husband! The prime minister's brother-in-law! He's not as easy-talking as Jing Zhaoyin, for King Yin's face , he probably won’t give it.”
Qiao Yuxi sighed helplessly: "That's fine, let's go beg the old lady."
Mrs. Xu ordered: "Xingzhu, go and buy a jar of preserved eggs and two boxes of dim sum, and then ask them what seasonal dishes they can take away?"
"yes!"
Xingzhu took the money bag and got out of the carriage.
Qiao Wei happened to lead Yao Qing out of the restaurant, carrying a basket of shrimps in one hand, Qiao Wei walked like flying, but Yao Qing was sweating profusely.
Qiao Wei smiled slightly: "Yao Qing, your body is in good shape."
Qiao Yuxi suddenly heard a familiar voice, frowned, opened the curtain of the carriage, and saw Qiao Wei chatting and laughing with a man passing by the carriage, Qiao Yuxi lowered the curtain irritably: "How could it be her?"
"Who is it?" Xu asked.
Qiao Yuxi said angrily, "It's the vixen who put me in jail!"
"Let me see." Mrs. Xu leaned over.
Qiao Yuxi widened the gap in the curtain, and pointed at Qiao Wei's back: "The one in the white dress seduces the prime minister even after she has a child. Look, she's hooking up with other men now!"
She has a good figure, but she seems to be doing some dirty work. Does Ji Mingxiu's woman need to do this? Xu frowned strangely.
At this moment, Qiao Wei put away the shrimp and was going to go back to the restaurant to move another basket.
Qiao Wei turned around, Xu saw her face clearly, and froze all of a sudden.
