Chapter 18: Sneaking Out the Door

"Father, try this!" Xie Songhua put a cup of soup on the table and looked at her with a smile, "My daughter is cooking on the stove for the first time in our house!"

Xie Yuncang was a little surprised, "Didn't I already call a few people to come over and serve you?"

"No, no," Xie Songhua waved his hand quickly, "I specially made this for my father. I see that my father has been unable to open his brows recently, and there are blisters at the corners of his mouth. He probably encountered something troublesome on official business, plus

The weather is getting hotter again, which inevitably makes me feel angry.

My daughter is busy with work and can't help, but this soup of mine can help my father cool down. Try it quickly, if it really doesn't taste good..."

She frowned as if in embarrassment and said, "Then just do it in one gulp!"

Xie Yuncang took a spoonful and brought it to his mouth. He almost choked when he heard the words, "If it doesn't taste good, you still have to drink it in one gulp?"

Xie Songhua said matter-of-factly, "Good medicine tastes bitter!"

In fact, how could it not taste good? She made this according to the herbal tea brewing method in the new century, and specially added some more dandelion, poria and other ingredients. Although the taste is a bit strange, the overall taste should be okay.

Sure enough, Xie Yuncang frowned slightly after taking the first sip, and then smiled after taking two more sips: "The ice is sweet and has a bit of a bitter taste. Is this medicine?"

"Not really. Maybe we can call it herbal tea," Xie Songhua smiled and took his bowl back. "The main function is to reduce the fire. I used to make it a lot."

Aunt Lan interrupted at the right time, "The fourth girl has been up for most of the day, but it's a lot of trouble. We don't understand it and can't help."

Xie Yuncang looked at Xie Songhua with a more loving look, "Four girls are interested."

Seeing that he didn't dislike the taste, Xie Songhua continued to boil it. On the fourth day, Xie Yuncang took the initiative to ask, "Can you boil that herbal tea from Fourth Girl a little longer? I'll take it to my colleagues tomorrow to share a portion. Recently,

Because of King Chen, everyone is anxious and angry."

Xie Songhua was a little surprised, but nodded and said: "Of course! I'll work it out tonight, and my father can take me there tomorrow morning."

Then he asked curiously: "King Chen's injury is not healed yet?"

When she asked, she found that Xie Yuncang's eyes immediately turned away from An Geer. She quickly said: "I was passing by the outer courtyard that day and accidentally heard my father talking to someone, so I found out about this. I saw that my father has been talking to someone these days.

I am busy and tired, so I made this guess."

That day when we were discussing border issues, Xie Yuncang knew that Xie Songhua was passing by. Seeing his daughter's bewildered look, he felt that he was too nervous, so he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, this matter is nothing in Beijing."

secret."

The matter was passed over like this, and Xie Songhua didn't ask any more questions.

In the evening, after I made a pot of herbal tea and returned to my room, I suddenly heard the person in the ring speaking, "You can find a way to get out of the house in the next two days."

Xie Songhua asked in surprise: "What to do?"

But this monster named Yu Ruzhuo did not answer her. Xie Songhua said: "This place is no different from other places. There are people guarding the door! The women in this mansion have no chance to go out. How can I go out?"

"

Yu Ruzhuo was silent for a while, and then said in a very serious tone: "This matter is of great importance. Please think of a way. I will thank you in the future."

A monster who was trapped in a ring and didn't know how to get out, how could he thank her?

Xie Songhua disagreed very much, but thinking about the agreement between the two of them, in order to get along well in the future, it would not be a good idea to refuse at the beginning.

And she has already thought of a way.

Early in the morning of the second day, before dawn, Xie Songhua got up and took out the herbal tea that he had poured into the well last night and handed it to Xie Yuncang with his own hands.

Seeing him leave, Aunt Lan couldn't help but smile and said: "Young girl is really filial, she does everything with her own hands."

Xie Songhua just laughed, then said she was hungry and asked Aunt Lan to bring her breakfast.

Because I got up earlier than usual today, the yard was very busy, and it was really hard to distinguish other people, so Aunt Lan went immediately.

Xie Songhua watched her go out, immediately picked up a white porcelain jar in the ear room and ran out.

He ran all the way to the side door, and before the other party could ask, he asked: "How long have you been out, sir?"

The person at the door was frightened by her and subconsciously replied: "I just went out not long ago."

"That's good!" Xie Songhua said, then he chased out with the ceramic jar in his arms, "The master left something behind and didn't take it."

Fortunately, the original owner was also very hard-working in the countryside and was a good hand at work, so the run was effortless and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

After the person at the door reacted, he only sighed, "This fourth girl still thinks she is in the countryside!"

In fact, as soon as he turned a corner, Xie Songhua stopped and looked out against the wall to make sure no one was chasing him. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Where are we going now? I'm afraid I don't have much time."

"It's not far. Turn right when you exit this street, go to the third fork ahead and enter Shuangnian Street to the Sipailou intersection, then turn right to the first shop."

Xie Songhua looked confused and didn't ask any more questions. He just asked him to navigate by voice.

Fortunately, it was still early at this time, and there were people on the road who had come out early to do business. Although Xie Songhua was a girl running around here, she didn't attract much attention.

After running for half an hour, I finally arrived at the place Yu Ruzhuo mentioned. At this time, the shop was opening, and it turned out to be a shop selling calligraphy and painting.

She didn't go in, but stood under the wall not far away, panting slightly, "You don't want to do this, but you want to buy a painting! I don't have any money!"

Yu Ruzhuo's voice was still steady, but his tone was very serious, "You must listen clearly to what I say next and don't forget it."

This was the first time he asked her to do something, and he looked so serious. Xie Songhua no longer took it lightly. She listened carefully to what he said twice and repeated it again to make sure it was correct before walking out.

After only taking two steps, he suddenly stopped again and said, "Yu Ruzhuo."

She had been murmuring just now, but now she suddenly spoke out, and her expression suddenly became extremely serious.

"What's wrong?"

"Aren't you a monster who brings disaster to the country and the people?"

"..."

When he didn't get an answer from the other party, Xie Songhua then said seriously: "You won't instruct me to do anything that is harmful to nature, right?"

After waiting for a while, she suddenly heard Yu Ruzhuo sigh quietly, "What are you thinking in your mind?"

This time Xie Songhua was speechless. She scratched her head, as if...it was indeed a bit of a fuss.

As soon as the store opened, a girl came in. The waiter's face was full of smiles, but when he saw Xie Songhua dressing up, his smile was a little stagnant, but it was not too obvious, "Girl, what do you want to see today?"

?”

"Is there any wine made from grapes from the Western Regions?"

When the waiter heard this, the smile on his face immediately became cautious, "This guest officer really knows how to joke. We are a calligraphy and painting shop."
