Chapter 176 Small Pot Rice Noodles (3)

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. The men and women who got off the carriage were all dressed in sophisticated and complicated clothes. They were surrounded by maids and walked towards the depths of the alley.

There are many foreigners in Chang'an who lament that "living in Chang'an is not easy", but there is also no shortage of nobles with houses everywhere.

Princess Chao'an's Mansion was very good both in terms of residence and location. Once the princess was imprisoned, the mansion began to be sold under a brand name, and it soon attracted new buyers.

Nobles, maids and servants can be seen everywhere in the alley. Outside the alley, the neighbors are sitting on the street and still gossiping about the host's parents and the Li family's shortcomings.

With one more person or one less person, the city of Chang'an remains as prosperous as ever.

Lin Fei and others happened to see this scene when they came to visit the family of Chief Jin of the Ministry of Finance. Seeing the bustle coming and going in front of him, Liu Yuan couldn't help but shook his head, but without saying anything, he was led in by the steward.

"The master is entertaining guests at home today!" the steward said after introducing the group of people into the main hall, "Sir, please wait a moment, the master is taking people to visit the garden."

This was not an excuse. Before the used tea cup could be removed from the hall, after the steward left, Liu Yuan pointed to the red lipstick mark on the side of the tea cup and wondered: "It's a female guest? "

Why would a female guest want this boss Jin to take her to the garden in person?

"There is more than one female guest, all of them are female guests!" Wei Fu on the side pointed at the tea cups with lipstick marks on them, as if he had thought of something, his face was subtle, "I'm afraid..."

In the garden, Mr. Jin, who was leading several female guests, pointed to the peonies blooming all over the garden and introduced: "I am busy with household affairs, but I also like to plant some flowers and plants in my spare time!"

The peonies were in full bloom, and among the female guests gathered behind them, one with a veil on her face looked at the peonies in the garden with a look of satisfaction on her face.

When Master Jin took two steps forward and was a little further away from everyone, the elderly man next to the female guest whispered to her: "He is someone who can care for others and understands some tastes. It just so happens that you also like peonies." , I think you two can talk to each other in the future..."

Before he finished speaking, the manager came over in a hurry, walked to Manager Jin who was not far ahead and whispered a few words. Everyone saw that the face of Manager Jin, who had been looking kind and elegant just now, changed slightly. After hearing what the manager said, He said, turned around, said hello to everyone and left in a hurry.

Several female guests looked at each other in confusion. After Master Jin left, a woman at the front said: "Miss Li, don't panic, I'll go and have a look!"

This is the most famous matchmaker in Chang'an City. The gold boss is middle-aged and has a decent life. His wife passed away a few days ago, so he asked someone to find her to arrange for the marriage to continue.

Although matchmaking is also about making money, even if it is an unpopular business, there is no shortage of money for those who do what she does. When I heard that Mrs. Jin's wife had just passed away and wanted to renew her marriage, I immediately frowned and felt that this person was not very good. However, Master Jin’s nanny pulled her aside and whispered the whole story. After understanding that Mrs. Jin committed suicide because of her own indiscretion and being sorry for Master Jin, her expression softened and she helped to mediate the matchmaking. .

At the moment, looking at the look on Mr. Jin's face, he felt something was wrong. The matchmaker, who was afraid that he was hiding something, immediately followed him.

There were several guards standing outside the main courtyard, wearing the official robes of Dali Temple. Initially, the matchmaker was a little hesitant to come forward, but the guards did not stop her and said it was nothing important, so she simply ran to the corner to eavesdrop. Yes, hearing this made the matchmaker's face change drastically.

Of course Mr. Jin himself had not committed anything that violated the law, otherwise he would have been arrested long ago. The one who broke the law was the wet nurse who helped to explain. When the adults in Dali Temple said that the original Mrs. Jin had been framed, the wet nurse felt that this incident had embarrassed Master Jin. It actually forced people to commit suicide.

Although Mrs. Jin committed suicide, she died under the pressure of the wet nurse. The wet nurse was naturally to blame, and the evidence was conclusive. Of course, Dali Temple had to take the wet nurse away.

When they were taken out of the yard, they bumped into the matchmaker who was livid after hearing the whole story. Dali Temple would not give the wet nurse a chance to speak and took the wet nurse directly away until the embarrassed looking boss Jin came out and bumped into her. When the matchmaker opened his mouth and was about to explain, the matchmaker gave him a fierce "poof" and turned around to leave.

Wen Mingtang heard about what happened next from Liu Yuan's mouth.

"Since that matchmaker is the most powerful in Chang'an City, her mouth is naturally powerful! After she came out, she quickly made the whole city aware of Master Jin's affairs." Liu Yuan said, "He explained that he didn't know, but even if He didn't do it. Looking at what he did after that, you can see that he is a heartless person. This is not something he can quibble with. We are not fools. Besides, he didn't know what the nanny did. , I have been an old servant for so many years, I can guess it. If he really wants to protect Mrs. Jin, can't he write a letter until he comes back? The wet nurse has sent him so many letters and she hasn't replied to any of them. Old servant Guessing the master’s thoughts, it’s not surprising to take action.”

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for Mr. Jin to renew his relationship in the future. Everyone is saying that he usually pretends to be affectionate, but in reality he is the most cruel!"

"That's right!" Tangyuan handed the small pot of cooked rice noodles to Liu Yuan and hummed, "None of you men are good!"

Liu Yuan, who had been scolded inexplicably, touched his nose and said aggrievedly: "It has nothing to do with me. I can't stand the principal named Jin. If Mrs. Jin regains her identity...she is a real golden branch and jade leaf. This principal Jin I’m afraid I’m not even qualified to carry her shoes!”

It's just...no more buts! Although the culprit in this case was caught, someone still died innocently.

"In the final analysis, it's still the fault of the fake princess and the Moro Cult..." Tangyuan counted on his fingers. In front of the food table not far away, Yu Jijiu, who picked up his chopsticks and was about to start eating rice noodles, shook his head: "It's really to blame. I'm afraid it's the confused late emperor who is to blame! If the late emperor hadn't been confused, how could so many things have happened?

There were many "seeking immortality" in the late emperor's harem, and Concubine Li and others who raised the fake princess were actually pawns planted by his country's sect. Even a sect can successfully place chess pieces in Da Rong Imperial City. If it were not for the Holy Sage, who after ascending the throne, released most of the palace ladies out of the palace, I wonder how many more tricks could be uncovered in the entire imperial city!

However, if it were not for this mistake, Master Wen would not be able to leave the palace smoothly.

Looking down at the bowl of "small pot rice noodles" in front of him, Yu Jijiu's throat twitched: the white rice noodles were soaked in the soup, and on top of the rice noodles was a spoonful of sauerkraut and pork minced meat. , there are sliced ​​leeks floating on the soup on the side, and there is an orange fried egg lying on the side of the bowl. The ingredients of the whole pot of rice noodles are simple and can be seen at a glance, but it makes people move their index fingers.
