After receiving the notice from the Ministry of War, local officials in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Nanzhili and other places who suffered from the Japanese invasion of Shangyu immediately arranged their work in their offices and rushed to Yingtian in a hurry or in horse-drawn carriages. After the Ministry of War reported,
Either placed in the guest room of the Ministry of War, or placed in the inn outside the Ministry of War, awaiting the arrival of the imperial envoy.
The officials in Yingtian City also put aside their work and waited for the imperial envoy to arrive at any time.
As a result, a group of officials saw no sign of the imperial envoy from sunrise in the morning to sunset in the evening, and no notification was received. When the curfew was about to come, three horses rode into Yingtian with their whips raised, and finally brought back the items that everyone had been waiting for.
Looking forward to the latest news from the Imperial Envoy.
The imperial envoy was exhausted from traveling and traveling all the way, so he had to rest in Yangzhou for one night and then set off to Yingtian tomorrow. He expected to arrive in Yingtian tomorrow afternoon.
Soon, the news was notified by the Ministry of War to all yamen, including the yamen of the Prosecution and Prosecution Commission.
After learning that the imperial envoy would not arrive until tomorrow afternoon, Zhang Zhengtai told Zhu Ping'an and others that they did not have to wait any longer and went back to their respective homes. They would shower and change clothes tomorrow morning and then go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War together in the afternoon to await the imperial envoy's arrival.
After bidding farewell to Zhang Zhitai and others, Zhu Ping'an walked slowly towards the backyard of the Yamen, the yard originally assigned to him.
"My aunt and uncle have come back and the food has been prepared. I can eat after my aunt comes in and washes his hands."
Baozi's little girl Hua'er saw Zhu Ping'an from a distance, so she ran up to meet him, as happy as if she were picking up gold.
If she had a tail at this moment, she would be able to wag it.
"snort"
The enchantress Ruonan on the side was in sharp contrast, snorting at Zhu Pingan as if she owed her hundreds of taels of silver.
"Uh?!" Zhu Ping'an was shocked when he saw Hua'er and the demon girl Ruonan, "Why are you here?"
I was really surprised. I didn't expect that Hua'er and Yaonan Ruonan would appear in the Yamen of the Procuratorate of Punishment.
"What's the matter, nerd, we came here uninvited and hindered your pursuit of beauty and beauty?!" The enchantress Ruonan sneered and asked as if her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose.
Looking for your sister, stealing your sister, in the mind of this witch, are all scholars such unsightly guys?
Zhu Ping'an twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly and teased: "Did you take some gunpowder? Or are relatives here?!"
"Bah, you shameless trapper!!!" The witch Ruonan spat at Zhu Ping'an with a red face.
"Hey, uncle, we are going to the Zhejiang Army barracks today to deliver chicken soup and cakes to you. Brother Dachui told us. If the man said that uncle, if you come to Yingtian, you will definitely come to the Yamen of the Procuratorate to punish you, so we came here, Yamen
The guard on duty recognized us, and he was very proud of us. Before we said anything, he took the initiative to invite us in, so we came here to wait for our uncle. He must have been suffering in the military camp. My maid has been doing well these days.
Make delicious food for my uncle and serve him well."
Baozi's little maid Hua'er explained with a smile, as proud as a dog that had picked up a meat bone.
So that's it, Zhu Pingan understood.
"Also, uncle, your guess was really accurate. Ruonan is really the one who came today." Hua'er said with admiration. Halfway through her words, the demon Ruonan covered her mouth.
After the demon girl Ruonan covered Hua'er's mouth, she glared at Zhu Ping'an fiercely, with a perverted look on her face.
Ahem, it turns out that relatives are really here. I just said casually, what a coincidence. Zhu Pingan was speechless.
"Uncle, we have cooked ginseng chicken soup, as well as prawns with hibiscus, salad deer liver, garlic abalone, splendid lion's head, jade bamboo shoots and bracken, sugar steamed eggplant, vinegar mung bean sprouts, tofu stewed with white rice, oh, yes
There are also freshly cooked mutton buns, the fillings made by Ruonan are so delicious."
The little maid Huaer walked up to Zhu Ping'an with her fingers and reported the name of the dish to Zhu Ping'an. Her baby-fat smiling face was filled with the expression of asking for credit and waiting for praise. In the end, she didn't forget to help the demon girl Ruo Nan to also ask for credit.
.
Zhu Ping'an actually wanted to send Hua'er and the demon Ruonan away. He came here to wait for the imperial envoy and listen to the imperial edict, not to enjoy a vacation. It would be inappropriate for you to come and serve.
However, everyone had already arrived, and they had cooked such a sumptuous meal for themselves. Especially when he saw Hua'er's expectant eyes, Zhu Ping'an couldn't say what he wanted to say to send them away.
That's all, it only takes a day or two. When he returns to the military camp, Hua'er and the others will return to Peach Blossom Collection.
"Wow, you have made so many delicious dishes. Just hearing the name makes me want to eat them. Hua'er has worked hard, and Ruonan and girls have worked hard too." Zhu Ping'an smiled and praised, expressing his gratitude to Hua'er and Ruonan.
When Hua'er heard this, she immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes, as if she had received the highest reward in the world.
"I couldn't bear the hard work of watching the painting, so I helped. Don't be sentimental." The demon girl Ruonan snorted, turned around and walked into the yard, leaving Zhu Ping'an behind.
Why am I being so sentimental? It's obviously your fault, okay? Zhu Ping'an smiled silently.
"Uncle, please come in quickly, the food won't taste good when it's cold," Hua'er urged in a sweet voice.
"Okay, let me try it to see how delicious it is and see if your painting skills have improved." Zhu Pingan walked into the yard with a smile.
"My uncle, my craftsmanship has improved a lot now. I can't go to the camp to serve my uncle. I pester Ruonan every day in the yard to teach me how to cook. I cook at least a dozen dishes every day. What I can't eat is given to the neighbors.
, the neighbors all praised my cooking as being a hundred times better than the restaurants in town."
Hua'er puffed up her chest with pride, and suddenly swayed. Hua'er had a lot of capital, and the sway was quite large. It was difficult for Zhu Pingan not to notice. "See no evil, see no evil." Zhu Pingan silently recited the verse twice.
Overdone.
dizzy
"snort!"
At this moment, a cold snort came from the demon Ruonan not far away. Zhu Pingan raised his head and looked at the female Ruonan. The demon Ruonan glared at Zhu Pingan hard and snorted, "Bookworm, aren't you afraid of needle eyes?!
"
Aren't you walking in front? Could it be that there are eyes behind you, or are you just staring at yourself?
Zhu Pingan was speechless.
After entering the house, Hua'er diligently brought a washbasin filled with warm water and put a towel on her shoulder to help Zhu Pingan clean his hands and wash his face.
"Hua'er, he's a big man, and he's not helpless, so why serve him like this?"
If a man can't stand the witch, well, she can't stand it.
"This is what I should do." Hua'er said in a matter-of-fact tone, as if the demon Ruonan was meddling in other people's business.
The witch is like a man
"Uncle, try it quickly and see if it tastes good." After serving Zhu Pingan, washing his hands and washing his face, Hua'er diligently picked up Zhu Pingan's food and waited for the certificate of praise.
"Well, it's delicious, not bad. The craftsmanship has really improved." Zhu Pingan took a bite and gave it a thumbs up without hesitation.
