Chapter 3 Chapter 3 clues

Don’t look at Jin Niang being thin and weak, but she also bought a table.

A plate of fragrant cut into pieces of duck, a plate of braised grass carp with oil sauce, a bowl of fried diced rabbits with green and red peppers, a bowl of pickled and steamed salty trotters, a plate of neatly stacked hot noodles pancakes, a bowl of sour bamboo shoots and wild duck soup, and four or five plates of seasonal stir-fried vegetables, full of them.

Ma Changyuan was intrigued and went to the yard to dig out the buried plum blossom wine under the trees. When he entered the room, he saw that in addition to Chen Zetang and Tang Tongzhang, there was also a handsome young scholar sitting at the table.

"This one is......" Ma Changyuan asked in confusion while holding the jar, while pouring the wine cup. Shunyu's face turned red. With her qualifications, she could not go to the table to eat wine. She was about to get up and dismiss her arm, but Chen Zetang held it without any trace. He smiled and said, "Feng Sheng is the supervisor of Dali Temple. Now you come back twice. It's very hard, so I'll have some wine and food with you."

It was very hard to go twice?! Ma Changyuan smiled but said nothing, Tang Tongzhang said in a cold tone: "Isn't Feng Sheng the woman that Lord Shen likes? Why did he become a student of Dali Temple again?"

Chen Zetang ate a bite of wine and his voice was very gentle: "I am happy! Lord Tang has any objection?"

Tang Tongzhang was speechless and was a senior official to kill someone. What objection could he have? Even if Chen Erye said that Feng Sheng jumped out of the crack of the stone, he had no objection.

Ma Changyuan saw some clues, and after talking nonsense, he asked Shunyu: "Mr. Chen mentioned that you have been here? I don't know when it happened?"

Shunyu hurriedly bowed and replied: "Shi Shi and Commander Chen came together, and met a shop selling wine and tea at the fork in front of him..."

"Wine and tea shop?" Ma Changyuan's eyes were strange: "The farmers here grow their own glutinous grains and tea, and every household makes their own wine and stir-fry tea for food. It is also worth a remote and secluded place. Few merchants walk around, so where do you need any wine and tea shop? What do you look like when you see the shopkeeper?"

Shun Yuhe said, "It is a farmer with a solid and dark face. He looks ordinary. He sits down and rubs a willow basket. He doesn't care about others when he talks to him. Later, a seven or eight-year-old shepherd boy comes. He looks like he is not a little kid, but a dwarf. He doesn't match Commander Chen for a few words, and he fights and wins. Because he is afraid of another change in the future, we are weak and have to return halfway."

Ma Changyuan frowned and thought for a while, shook his head: "I am familiar with the villagers in this five-mile radius. If you don't talk about the crops, you will never have any dwarfs."

As Jinniang was talking, she came with a large bowl of rice, Ma Changyuan took it and asked: "Why haven't you seen the Dongpo pork you are the best at?"

"It's bad." She said in a short sentence, turned her head and left.

Ma Changyuan blushed and said loudly: "This morning, the newly killed pig by the butcher Cai, my special slice of fresh rib meat, you will do it if you say it is bad, and you don't know how to compensate. This is unqualified and really makes people worry that they can't get married."

Shunyu was eating plum blossom wine, which was different from the capital. Its fragrance was lighter and the taste was sweeter. When she looked up accidentally, she saw Ma Changyuan staring at her with bright eyes and his eyes met. He heard him ask again: "I don't know if Feng Sheng has a wife? How do you look at Jinniang?"

Why do these people want to marry their daughter to her? Shunyu glanced at Chen Erye secretly, and suddenly she had an idea. She said sincerely: "Jinniang is beautiful and smart, and she is both talented and beautiful. Feng Sheng has no such blessing. She personally thinks that she is more compatible with Lord Shen."

Ma Changyuan looked at Chen Zetang and laughed: "Feng Sheng is honest. There are not many young people who dare to tell the truth these days and are not afraid of the powerful. Come on, I'll pay a respect to you."

After Shunyu took a drink, the topic was over and he began to talk about the three of them being officials in Beijing.

She continued to eat fresh and spicy rabbit dice, but saw Mr. Chen casually put something that had been rosy with red sauce on her plate.

Shunyu looked at it for a while but couldn't see what it was. While he was having tea, he whispered to ask what it was. How good is it?

Chen Erye’s jaw, his voice was very soft: “This is a chicken butt. It is said that you can supplement it wherever you eat. If you are a little bit unlucky, it is better to supplement it first.”

Sweat dripped from Shunyu's forehead. The man was so narrow-minded that he wanted to beg for mercy. Suddenly, he heard Ma Changyuan say that he seemed drunk: "Time flies by, six years have passed since the capital. Perhaps because Qingming Festival is approaching, I often remember all the things that happened to him before his death. I built a tomb for him in the back mountain, and there is also a place for worship every year."

Tang Tongzhang's face suddenly turned pale and he shouted in a low voice: "I'm confused! That's the criminal who was raiding the family. How could you stand up for him to worship? If anyone appears and sues me, I will be implicated by you. You can demolish it as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for disregarding my former colleagues."

As he said that, he stood up and bowed to Chen Zetang: "It's getting late, so the official is waiting for Lord Shen outside." He then shook his sleeves and left first.

Ma Changyuan spat, Zui Xunxun looked at Shunyu, shook his finger and asked, "Little Jiansheng, do you know the case of the execution of Shangshu Tian's family?" Without waiting for Shunyu to answer, he said to himself: "You look only sixteen or seventeen years old, and I must not know."

Shunyu pursed his lips, drank the plum blossom wine in one go, and then took the pot and poured it into one cup.

Ma Changyuan was still saying: "I have seen through the cold and cold life in the officialdom. This person will encounter great disasters. People who are surrounded by people on weekdays. Look at them. Some of them are used to make trouble to get promoted and wealth, some are those who are wise and protect themselves, and some are those who are polite to defend themselves, and some are those who are polite to defend themselves against their derogatory defence. This kind of thing is the most respectful, but there are only a few in the world. Now I am clean and honest and cut off the woods in the south. What fear is there? Tang Tongzhang's face is abominable. At that time, Shangshu Tian did not treat him badly... "The voice is getting smaller and smaller, and he finally fell asleep while lying on his eyes.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Jin Niang walked in. Seeing this scene, she frowned and was helpless. She greeted Chen Zetang, and wanted to expel her: "My father is so drunk that he can't treat guests. If there is nothing wrong with Lord Shen, please come back earlier."

"Okay!" Chen Zetang glanced at Shunyu and said nothing more.

....................................................

The wheels are wheeled. It was noon when they came out, and it was dusk when they returned.

The spring breeze opened and closed the curtains, and the carriage was light and dark, and Chen Zetang and Shunyu sat side by side.

Chen Zetang looked out the window: "How did you talk to Jin Niang in the kitchen?"

The flowing clouds pass through the trees and the smoke is low, and the farmers are trampling on the evening to return home.

Shunyu's tone was faint: "Tang Jin's behavior is unpredictable. She asked Jin Niang to embroider a two-headed snake on the curtain of the carriage, which made the people know that the carriage belonged to Jin Niang's house. She borrowed the carriage five days ago and picked up the person from Yingtian Prefecture last night. She knew that there was a tofu-eating man on the side and did not hide and avoid taboos, but she seemed to do it deliberately, leading us to find Jin Niang's house, as if we wanted us to find some secret here."
