Chapter 149(1/2)

The breeze is coming

Author: six silent

A plate of scallion-flavored beef patties fried until golden and fragrant, a cage of pork shreds with radish stuffing, a red bean and rice porridge cooked until blooming, a dish of drunkard fish, and a dish of stir-fried black bean sauce.

Four side dishes: fragrant pork, pickled radish and shredded bamboo shoots.

Tunan laid out the breakfast and saw "my girl" sitting down on the left with a smile.

"Oh, beef cakes are quite rare!" He picked up the plate with his fingers and took a look. He picked up one and took a bite. He sighed with satisfaction.

"This cake is delicious today!"

Zhao Surui's mouth was full of oil after eating. He picked some shredded bamboo shoots with chopsticks and took another sip of porridge.

Although the government explicitly prohibits the killing of cattle, the people are not unable to eat any cattle, especially in rural villages and towns. Because the control is loose, you can often buy large pieces of stewed beef in street restaurants. Rich farmers and gentry can eat it.

Buy it back to satisfy your craving.

When Zhao Su Rui was in the palace, he would occasionally have beef served at the Imperial Palace, but after the "expert hands" of the Guanglu Temple cooks took care of it, he only felt that beef was filling his teeth.

Later, he changed his body with Shen Sanfai, and everything he ate was delicious. Zhao Su Rui refused to accept any kind of pork, beef, mutton, or fish. Of course, our Emperor Zhaode had a noble mouth and teeth, and his favorite was fat, fragrant and delicious pork.

I used to live in Zhuangzi outside the city. When Peifeng or Tunan went to town and met beef sellers, they would buy some. The braised beef was cut into slices as a snack when they were bored.

, it is more difficult to eat beef than before, for no other reason than there are more people and less meat.

Seeing that "my girl" was eating particularly sweetly, Tunan showed a smile: "Miss Liu bought this yesterday. She originally bought five kilograms of beef, two kilograms of leg meat, three kilograms of belly meat, and beef shanks.

I made meat patties for the girl, the beef brisket is more tender, and I added some radishes and the like to stew for the girl in the evening."

"Okay!" After finishing two meatloaf, Zhao Surui took the time to eat a shaomai, then picked up the third meatloaf, and drank less than half of the porridge in the bowl.

With something in his stomach, Zhao Surui squinted his eyes and asked with a smile:

"Is Mrs. Sun in front of you making any noise?"

"Don't worry, girl. Madam Bo probably wants to make a noise, but there is no one to appoint her."

Yesterday, Zhao Surui could be said to have captured all of Mrs. Sun's confidants. By the time Xie Lin'an came with his people, a dozen servants and maids and the seven or eight servants and stewards who were captured later had almost cracked the ice of the pond, and their bodies were covered with blood.

He was injured, and his shoes were soaked in the cold weather. It looked so miserable.

Xie Lin'an asked his servants to drag him up and tie him up, while he hurriedly apologized.

Zhao Surui didn't give him any trouble and only gave him two instructions.

Since these people were all old people who had lived in Ning'an's house for many years, and they must have some savings at home, they ransacked their homes together. The things they copied were divided into 30 and 70, with 70% belonging to him and 3rd to Xie Lin'an's.

How could Xie Lin'an be willing to do anything when he heard this "three to seven points"? After some haggling, it was finally decided that 90% of the money would be sent to "Qingfengxu", and the remaining 10% was Xie Lin'an's hard-earned money.

Although he was not smart enough, Xie Lin'an also knew how to act according to circumstances. Since he wanted to attack his mother's servants, he simply cleaned up all the servants in the house and ransacked their homes and imprisoned those related to his own mother.

Those who were related to his own grandmother also ordered them not to move around.

Xie Lin'an didn't have enough manpower and didn't have the skills, but Zhao Surui had someone in his hands. There were always obedient Xie family servants who he had imprisoned one after another in Zhuangzi. This time he asked Pei

The wind picked out some people who had no foundation in the Xie family and brought them back together. A total of twelve servants and six women were lent to Xie Lin'an, which was enough for him to raid the house.

Mrs. Sun had been running Ning'an Bofu for nearly forty years, but was uprooted by her own son. If Shao Zhiqing found out, he would have to praise her as "a great filial piety".

Zhao Surui had breakfast, put on his cloak and held the kitten in his hands, which he had kicked out of bed in the middle of the night yesterday, and started wandering around in the "Breeze".

In addition to the magnolia by the window, there is also a pair of sycamores in the corner of the yard. The leaves have fallen off, but they still look tall and straight.

Bamboo and orchid grass are planted in the back of the yard, along with the pomegranate tree in the north corner. Even in winter, people can feel the elegance of the owner of the garden.

Looking at it, Zhao Surui laughed out loud.

In the sun, Achi was asking a few maids to set up a wooden frame to dry the original bedding in the house. When he saw his girl smiling at the bare pomegranate tree, she poked Tunan on the side.

"Tunan, do you think our girl is in a great mood today?"

"Is there any?"

Tunan was calculating how much charcoal a group of them would use in a day. Hearing this, he raised his head and said:

"Maybe, today's breakfast is really delicious."

"Where's the 'maybe'?"

Ah Chi, who was wearing a cotton-made bijia, raised his hand and rubbed his ears, then brought his mouth close to Tunan's ear:

"This morning, our girl woke up with a smile. What a beautiful dream you said could make our girl wake up with a smile."

Tunan also smiled when he heard this and didn't say anything. He just gave his hand warmer to Achi.

"You can use it, I have to go to the kitchen to work."

Zhao Surui, who was being talked about by the two little maids, had already crossed his arms.

Good trees, good flowers, and a good yard! The best thing is that Emperor Zhao De, a wise and powerful man, exposed the old ways of Shen Sanfei!

If it weren't for the troublesome little kitten in his arms, Zhao Surui would have wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times.

He put the cat on a pomegranate tree to keep it strong, and Zhao Surui asked the little maid to find some bricks.

Knowing that the girl had to move bricks to strengthen herself, the little maids hurriedly moved some green bricks back, but the trip back and forth only took a moment.

Zhao Surui raised his eyebrows and stared at the bricks for a while, then he remembered that the wall of Xie Fengan's yard next door had been demolished under his order, and even the bricks were ready-made.

Probably because he was in a good mood and had enough food, Zhao Surui felt particularly energetic moving bricks today, and he didn't feel tired even when the sun rose to the top of the sycamore tree.

"Girl, the Crown Prince's wife is here."

Mrs. Shizi did not come alone. She brought a dozen maids and women behind her, carrying a bunch of boxes. As soon as she saw "Shen Shiqing", she hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "I heard you came back yesterday.

I want to come and have a look quickly, but I am not in good health and I am afraid of disturbing your peace."

After narrowly avoiding her hand, Zhao Surui raised his chin:

"You seem to be giving this gift as a gift. Do you have anything good? Open it and take a look."

Seeing "Shen Shiqing" being so direct, Gu was a little at a loss. She turned around and looked at the women and maids following her, and said with a forced smile:

"Put the things down and open them for the Second Young Madam to see!"

The maids did as they were told.

"These are some clothes and jewelry given to you. Although our family doesn't have to live in the past, we still cannot lack this dignity."

The first few boxes contained some winter coats and hairpin rings. They looked new, but the materials and styles were not fashionable.

Glancing at the pomegranate flowers on it, Zhao Surui had some suspicion that it was made by Gu's family by squeezing the dowry materials from the bottom of the box.

As for hairpin rings and the like, they are better than those worn by Gu Shi. The ones inlaid with gold and beads look like that, but Zhao Surui is someone who has been shopping on Gulou Street from beginning to end. Hairpin rings and the like

He didn't know how much he bought for the maids around him. Judging from the quality of these things, they were not as good as the precious gold bracelet on A Chi's wrist. At least the rubies on it were clear enough.

Not interested in these things, Zhao Surui looked into the box at the back again.

"These, these are some toys and decorations, brought here for you to play with."

Gu's tone was a little awkward.

Zhao Surui walked to a box, looked down, and saw a bronze statue of Maitreya. The outside should have been wrapped in gold foil, but over time, the gold foil fell off, revealing some mottled appearance.

This kind of thing was actually delivered to me?

Zhao Surui smiled coldly, and just as he was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, he saw Ah Chi walking closer and holding out the Buddha to look at it carefully.

"Girl, this is the Buddha you brought as a bride. My uncle specially requested it for you from the White Horse Temple in Luoyang. My uncle said earlier that he wanted to pray for the second young master, so he lent this Buddha to you. It's okay.

Four or five years ago."

One word is "borrowed" and the other is "four or five years." Achidu enunciates the words very clearly.

Zhao Surui suddenly realized.

What is a gift? In the final analysis, it is just to exchange for the dowry that was taken from Shen Sanwai.

Probably the first two boxes of clothes and jewelry were just pretentious "gifts".

Although he knew that Shen Sanfei chose to marry into the Xie family in order to find out the cause of her father's death, and he may not have really suffered any losses in these years, Zhao Surui still felt unhappy. Since these things belong to Shen Sanfei, then rounding them up is

his!

Since you took something from him, how could you just send it back secretly under the pretext of giving it a gift?

Turning to look at Gu, Zhao Surui smiled half-heartedly:

"It seems that this Buddha is indeed very spiritual. The golden body on his body has almost fallen off before he wants to return it."

Gu's face turned red with embarrassment, and she almost clenched the handkerchief into rags.

"Here, this was found in Mrs. Wu's house where my mother-in-law was staying with me. I took the maids and looked at a page of the booklet before realizing that this is something from your sister-in-law's room."

As he talked, Gu almost cried.

She has been married to the Xie family for fifteen or six years, and she takes care of the housework every day. She feels that she is a future uncle who will be in charge of the family. Last night, she looked at the things her husband copied back and realized that she has been in trouble all these years.

Do you know how many people are working hard?

The Wu family's wealth alone was found to be no less than 2,000 taels. She, the crown prince's wife, was reluctant to wear the flowered satin, but others were willing to wear it. She, the crown prince's wife, was reluctant to use the fine white wax, but others were willing to use it.
