Liu Yingfu looked at Shen Zishu, Shen Zishu looked at Lao Mo, and Lao Mo looked at Liu Yingfu. The eyes look at the nose, and the nose looks at the heart. How embarrassing.
Fu Jingheng stamped the official document on the grain release without changing his expression, and then pushed the document back to Liu Yingfu, "Approved. Go and do the work quickly."
When he retracted his knuckled hand, he plucked the bell in front of Mo Gan and said in a deep voice: "Old Mo, put your things away. I picked them up in the garden. Don't throw them away in the future."
Liu Yingfu and Shen Zishu looked at Mo Gan together.
Mo Gan immediately took the blame and focused on taking the blame for thirty years. He is a professional. He held the red string bell in his hand and said calmly: "Thank you, sir, it does belong to our family. Our family has a little baby Persian cats, this is for kittens.”
Fu Jingheng nodded, "Yeah."
Liu Yingfu and Shen Zishu were full of suspicion, but they were not very interested in the eunuch's affairs. The eunuch could play with whatever he liked, not to mention playing with bells or playing with a big clock, but the private life of the king interested them more.
Liu Yingfu took the approved official document in his hand, and accompanied Shen Zishu out of the imperial study and went to the two granaries in Qingxi and Huatian to do some work. On the way, he asked Shen Zishu: "Do you believe the bell belongs to Lao Mo?"
Shen Zishu replied: "Do you believe it?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other tacitly.
Liu Yingfu began to worry again, "Could it be used on Wen Jin's fine work?!"
Shen Zishu: "No. It's for your own use."
Liu Yingfu's mind flashed through the image of you tying a red rope bell on your ankle, this... stop it!
After Fu Jingheng waited for Liu Yingfu and Shen Zishu to go to do things, and the important things were arranged, he breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly he remembered that Wen Jin had placed the bells randomly, and he became angry again, "Where is Girl Jin?"
"I'm going back to Xue Mansion to see my brothers, sisters, and grandma." Lao Mo responded.
"There are often foreign enemies on the border, and Prime Minister Xue and I also have matters to discuss about defending against enemies." Fu Jingheng said coldly: "Of course, it is also appropriate to go to Xue Mansion and maintain secret meetings with Prime Minister Xue and General Lou."
Lao Mo nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, then go back to the door with Xue Ning quickly! If you don't keep it together, you can meet Master Jin by chance! If you meet her, you have to tell her. It's not easy to leave the bells around. This time it's It doesn’t matter if you fall out in the imperial study room. There are not many people and they are all your confidants. If you fall out in the Jinluan Palace next time and all the officials are there, then that’s okay! It would be a big loss, and it would be a shame for all the civil and military officials in the court. Everyone knows...!”
Fu Jingheng: "..."
***
Wen Jin left the palace gate and walked along Huangmen Street for two-quarters of an hour. He was sweating slightly and his cheeks were flushed. When he arrived at the gate of Xue Mansion, No. 3, Huangmen Street, he saw that the door was open, so he planned to go in.
After the death of her mother, Su Yuyan, her relationship with her father, Xue Kuang, was very bad. She went in and out of Xue Kuang's house like a transparent person, coming and going as she pleased. Except for her younger siblings and her grandmother, no one cared about her or helped her. Tea and meals, stepmother Lou Shucai would sometimes see her come back, and when she first stepped into the house, she would slam the door of the side house where she lived very loudly, just for Wen Jin to hear, and then start smashing things in the house. West touch, making things very loud to express dissatisfaction with Wen Jin.
Wen Jin was about to enter when he suddenly saw a pregnant woman posting a leaflet on the wall on the other side of the street. He took a closer look and recognized the pregnant woman. He quickly strode over and shouted with a smile: "Rui Li" Hello, sister."
It turned out that Kang Ruili, who was a close friend of Liu Hu, an insider of the mother's case, had been away from the Huainan Laifu Inn for a few days.
"Hey, Wen Jin. It's you!" Kang Ruili heard the sound, looked back at Wen Jin, and recognized Wen Jin, "Thank God, you are still alive. If you had died miserably because you let me leave the inn first,
Under the hands of assassins, my conscience has been uneasy for the rest of my life. I have been thinking of you these past few days."
"Sister Ruili is worried." Wen Jin nodded, "This is because we are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away. Sister Ruili, I think our fate is deep. You see, you are pregnant and I am pregnant too. You are a woman,
I’m a woman too, right!”
"You little bastard." Kang Ruili sneered, "The most I can offer you is a free breakfast of tofu and refueling bars, no more. Don't get too close. I don't know a word about your mother's case.
I don't know anything about it, but we want to live a peaceful life."
"No, no. I'm not just here to say hello to you because of my mother's case. I just feel that we meet everywhere in life. It's really a happy event to meet an old friend on my twenty-second birthday!
Wen Jin smiled sincerely at her, "Isn't there a saying that says it's great to have friends come from afar?"
"Ha. What you said is quite interesting. But it's not that far away. Our Broken Bridge Hutong in the old city is only about two-quarters of an hour away from Huangmen Street where you rich people live." Kang Ruili asked with a smile: "Today is your birthday.
ah?"
"Um."
"Guess what?" Kang Ruili asked her with raised eyebrows.
"I'm guessing it's your birthday today too?"
"You guessed it right. Today is my twenty-second birthday." Kang Ruili and Wen Jin had less of a grudge, and their smiles were more sincere.
Wen Jin said happily: "Sister Ruili, I just said that the two of us have a deep fate. We were actually born on the same day of the same year, the same month, and God arranged for us to be sisters. I was born at 1:00 a.m. at night. How about you?"
"I am at noon during the day."
"Then I should call you Sister Ruili." Wen Jin smiled and held Kang Ruili's arm.
Kang Ruili saw that she was pretty and had a sweet mouth, so he didn't push her away. Seeing that she was holding a trident and holding a book of Water Margin, he asked: "What book are you holding?"
Are you going to start an uprising with a fork?"
"Water Margin." Wen Jin laughed, "Has Sister Ruili read this book?"
"I haven't read it, and I don't know a few words. But I have heard stories from street storytellers. I think most of them are boring. The part about Golden Lotus Ximen Wujiro is a bit attractive."
"Da Lang, come here and drink medicine." Wen Jin said with a smile.
Kang Ruili was amused by Wen Jin again, "Do you like reading?"
"Yes, I love watching it. However, this is a gift for my younger brother and sister. My brother likes to read martial arts books, and my sister loves to perform martial arts for my brother. In Water Margin, there are not only villains like Jinlian Ximen, but also many depressed characters.
As for the heroes who have no ambitions, there are also heroines such as Gu Dasao, Sun Erniang and Hu Sanniang, who are not inferior to the men. My brother and sister especially admire these heroes."
"You two siblings have such a good relationship. We don't have any contact with each other." Kang Ruili nodded, then picked up a small flyer and continued to paste it on the wall.
Wen Jin looked at the flyer intently and saw the following words:
[Wangpu is for sale. For only fifty taels, you can get a tofu breakfast shop that makes a lot of money every day. It can be opened with a bag, first come, first served. ]
"Sister Ruili, why did you transfer the store? Isn't it a good thing for a woman to have her own career?"
Kang Ruili looked left and right, and then whispered to Wen Jin: "My belly is getting bigger and bigger, and I can't work anymore. The breakfast shop has to get up very early to prepare the food. The shop is small and there are no waiters. Ah
The tiger has been hiding around outside all year round and never comes back. He relies on me inside and outside. I feel really tired recently. Besides, I don’t make much money with my small business, and the food I cook doesn’t taste good, and sometimes I even lose money.
. Just transfer it and get fifty taels of silver. I need a lot of money to have a baby. Fifty taels is enough for me for two years."
"It's a pity to transfer it. There will be a time when the fifty taels are spent." Wen Jin said, "If it's not delicious, it can be improved. There are no waiters to hire one or two to make a profit. To be honest, I heard that my sister
Opening a tofu shop by myself has really had a profound impact on my sister, who has been wanting to work long-term in her sister’s shop these days in order to be independent.”
After hearing this, Kang Ruili sighed, "If you do well, you might as well marry well! The sugar daddy next door to my house has a rich boss, so she can live a good life! You are so good-looking, why don't you find a sugar daddy with power?
