MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 56 She napped peacefully
At this time, the yamen came over and asked the guests of the nearby shop. No one had seen a short and thin man with a similar stature to Zhuang Mu. He turned half of the West Market upside down, and the fetus was still nowhere to be found. Lin Chengyou glanced outside the store, the sky was full of sunset, so he had to say, "Come on, the customers in the store have finished interrogating them, you can let them go."
Teng Yuyi looked at Juesheng and Qizhi, and only at noon did he say that he would take them to have a good meal. As a result, something like this happened, it was about to get dark, and it seemed that the contract could only be performed tomorrow.
She said to the two: "I have to go back to the mansion. I can't treat you to delicious food today. If you are free tomorrow, come to Teng mansion earlier."
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi peeked at their senior brother, who had no objection and said hurriedly, "Okay, we'll go find Wang Gongzi tomorrow."
Lin Chengyou drank half a cup of tea, got up and went straight to the spice shop next door with Yan Si, another yamen ran to block the door: "Lin Pingshi, there is a pair of twin girls across from him who heard about the death of Mrs. They passed out. It is said that they bumped into a ghost last time in Onju River, and since then they have been extremely courageous. I just saw it, and my face was as white as paper. Lin Pingshi knows Taoism. Look at it."
As soon as Teng Yuyi heard this description, she knew that it was the sisters Peng Huayue and Peng Jinxiu. Juesheng and Qizhi hurriedly said, "This should be a shock. Senior brother, you are busy with other things. Let's go and have a look."
As soon as they left, Teng Yuyi asked Duanfu to hire a small cart. When they came out, they went straight into the cart. There were many people in the ink studio opposite who knew Duanfu. She was sitting in the cart, so that no one would know about her. The yellow-faced boy just now was her Teng Yuyi.
The curtain was put down here, and the ladies and sons of Mozhai on the opposite side also came out one after another, and they were all surrounded by guards from various prefectures who had heard the news. A group of people stood in front of the calf, pulling Juesheng and Qizhi and refusing to let go. Juesheng and Qizhi scratched their heads, seemingly embarrassed.
Teng Yuyi was just feeling curious when Lin Chengyou came out of the spice shop. Juesheng and Qizhi seemed to see the savior and ran over from the crowd, whispering, "Brother, those little ladies insisted that we take them back to the house."
But they wanted to go back with Lady Teng's cart.
Hearing this, Teng Yuyi opened the window and looked out.
Lin Chengyou glanced at the Fourth Young Master Wu and the others across from him, turned over and said: "It's been a little uneasy recently, they are all afraid of this, if there is another turbulence on the road, there is no guarantee that it won't cause problems, you can drop by the way. ."
Juesheng and Jizhi: "Then what about the prince?"
"Isn't there still two Taoist priests, Jiantian and Jianxi?"
Jiantian and Jianxi happened to be coming out of the restaurant, and when they heard this, they said with a smile: "It's getting late, and the old people are just hungry, Young Master Wang, we'll take you back, and it's not an exaggeration to treat us with a dinner. "
Teng Yuyi said earnestly: "Hey, why did the Taoist say this, Wang has long wanted to treat the Taoist well, and it is rare to have this opportunity, so there is no reason to not treat him graciously, for fear that the Taoist will think the food and drink in the house is rude. "
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were relieved and returned to the opposite side to **** the gang off.
Teng Yuyi's cart was also officially launched. Jian Tian and Jian Xi each rode a small donkey to accompany the cart. The little donkey was short and thin, and it was as slow as possible to walk.
Teng Yuyi looked at the sky through the window, the sky was getting darker and darker, and seeing Tian Jianxi's slow pace, it would probably be dark when he returned home. She is not worried about anything else, but she has only seen the murderer in the afternoon, and the murderer can do sorcery again. What if something happens halfway.
Duanfu seemed to be worried too, and silently watched the donkey who saw Tian Jianxi for a while, before breaking the silence for the first time in history: "The villain goes to exchange two horses for the Taoist priests."
Jiantian and Jianxi waved their hands: "No, no, our two little donkeys were raised in Guanli, and they are smart. We are used to riding them, so we don't want to ride any stupid horses."
This journey has slowed down, and it was getting dark when I walked out of the West City. Teng Yuyi was talking to the two, but she was secretly anxious. When Lin Chengyou was setting up the mansion last night, she told her not to go out at night, who knows. I encountered such a thing today. It was Shu Liniang last night, so there won't be any serious ghosts this time. Sister A is still waiting for her in the house, and she doesn't know what to worry about.
Only to hear the sound of horses' hooves approaching, someone drove the horse to catch up.
Teng Yuyi was on guard, quietly opened the window to see who it was, and heard Tianhe Jianxi say in surprise, "Sir."
Lin Chengyou reined in the reins and said with a smile, "The two seniors walked really slowly."
"What's the hurry? Yanshoufang is not far from the West Market. It's just two streets away. You, Shizi, don't you want to go to Dali Temple? It's not this direction."
Lin Chengyou said: "It's a coincidence, I happened to be going to the Buzhengfang to do something."
Jian Tian and Jian Xiyi clapped their hands: "Isn't that the right way to go?"
Teng Yuyi's hanging heart fell to the ground, Lin Chengyou was much more reliable than seeing joy in the sky.
Jian Tian and Jian Xi were already talking a lot, and with Lin Chengyou accompanying them, the chatter box became more and more unstoppable: "Just now, Young Master Wang was chatting with us, saying that the cook in their house has a good knife skill, and the sliced slices are as thin as slices. Snowflakes, the entrance will melt."
Lin Chengyou snorted.
There are about ten chefs in the palace and Cheng Wangfu, but he had eaten snacks from the Teng family chef that night, and his cooking skills were indeed not bad.
"Speaking of which, apart from the fresh and fat fish, Jiangnan's desserts are also more detailed than those in the North, but the prince said that the best desserts in Jiangnan are the flower cakes she made by herself. Pindao didn't believe it. The prince also doesn't believe that the prince can make dim sum."
Lin Chengyou didn't pick up, would Teng Yuyi make snacks by himself? Not likely. It's not that he doesn't believe that she can't learn it, but that she doesn't have the patience, but when he thinks of her quiet and elegant "Tan Shangyue", he is a little uncertain. She has the patience to take so much for the little red horse. Name, it's not uncommon to make a snack when you are free, I don't know who has eaten the dessert she made, maybe only her grandfather and aunt.
Teng Yuyi had already dozed off in the car. She hadn't slept well last night. She was frightened again today. When I listened to the voices of the people outside, the tight string slackened unknowingly.
As soon as a person relaxes, he falls asleep quickly.
I don't know how long I slept, but when I heard someone knocking on the window wall outside, Teng Yuyi was startled and suddenly opened his eyes.
Someone outside said, "Young Master, are you awake?"
It was Cheng Bo's voice.
It seemed that he had arrived home, Teng Yuyi breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his eyelids, and sat up straight to straighten his head and robes.
When he got out of the car and looked around, he saw Lin Chengyou leaning against the horse with his arms crossed, as if he had been waiting for a while.
Jiantian and Jianxi laughed and said, "Wang Gongzi fell asleep in the car?"
Teng Yuyi cleared her throat embarrassedly and said to Cheng Bo, "There is a distinguished guest in the mansion tonight, hurry up and prepare the wine feast."
Cheng Bo agreed.
Teng Yuyi walked in front of Lin Chengyou again, smiled and said, "Your Highness, please stay and have a meal."
Lin Chengyou glanced at her, the ashes on her face had already been wiped away all the way, her face was puffy, and her eyes were as clean as grapes that had been washed. Don't think about it, she must have slept well in the car all the way. Strange to say, he was not hungry at first, but after hearing Teng Yuyi's words, his stomach suddenly became hungry. Teng's house's dishes are not bad, and it's okay to stay for a light meal. Unfortunately, there are too many things to do tonight.
"Thank you, I still have other things to do." He turned on his horse, "Remember what I said, don't run around at night."
"Hey." Teng Yuyi nodded.
Lin Chengyou drove the horse out of Rongle Lane in front of the Teng Mansion, turned the horse's head and headed towards Dali Temple.
Teng Yuyi led Jiantian and Jianxi into the mansion, and suddenly heard the sound of a large number of horses' hooves coming from the end of the alley, and looked back in surprise, but it was Teng Shao who came back with his guards.
Cheng Bo was surprised and happy: "Master is back."
Teng Yuyi looked at Grandpa suspiciously. In the morning, Cheng Bo also said that Grandpa would come back in the middle of the night, but he would be back in the evening. Looking at Grandpa's body, his robes (Note 1) were covered with dust, and the emerald-colored barrier mud under his mount was even more filthy. Except for the military emergency, she rarely saw Grandpa in such a hurry.
What's the hurry...
She remembered the news that Wu Yingying had returned to Chang'an in the afternoon, her face suddenly became complicated, she just stood on the steps like that, watching her grandfather approaching motionlessly.
Teng Shao had already seen the old Taoist priest and the young master at the door. The old Taoist had dealt with him last time. He was the Taoist priest of Dongmingguan. Although the appearance of the young master had changed, his arrogant expression had not changed since he was a child.
Teng Shao knew that there was a difference, not to mention anything else, his daughter's dress was strange enough. He dismounted calmly and threw the whip to his entourage: "Two Masters, stay safe."
Jiantian and Jianxi returned the salute in a serious manner. Teng Shao was a well-known **** of war. No matter how warm his face was, the chilling aura on his body could make people shudder.
"General Teng, I'm going to come to the house tonight to harass me."
"It's a great honor, please come in." Teng Shao personally led Jiantian and Jianxi into the house, Teng Yuyi shook his robe and followed into the house.
Teng Shao entertained Jiantian and Jianxi in the middle hall, while Teng Yuyi returned to the inner courtyard to bathe and change.
When Jiantian and Jianxi left with a full meal, Teng Yuyi had already told Du Tinglan what happened in the afternoon.
"To kill pregnant women?" Du Tinglan's face turned pale.
Teng Yuyi nodded, ate the jade mud letter in the bowl, and asked Chunrong to remove the food.
"However, it is not known whether it was done by humans or by demons."
"So that Specter last night has nothing to do with Lu Zhaoan?"
Teng Yuyi shook his head: "I don't know yet. The real culprit has not yet been caught, everything is just speculation."
At this time, Uncle Cheng came over: "Miss, Master asked you to go to the study to see him."
Teng Yuyi hummed and went to the study with Uncle Cheng.
The people led the way, the lantern moved forward slowly in the dark night, the round and bright light outline was like a string of beads in the hands of a beauty, Teng Yuyi followed the string of light and shadow, but his eyes looked at the back of Cheng Bo's head, all the people in Chang'an City. There are almost no big or small things that Cheng Bo does not know. Wu Yingying is the concubine of the Xinchang King of Nanzhao. It is impossible for Cheng Bo to not know the news of her return to Chang'an.
Cheng Bo told Grandpa about this, so Grandpa would come back with all the time.
When passing by the courtyard, Teng Yuyi looked in through the open casement of the study. Grandpa stood in front of the desk, as if in a trance, his eyes were looking at the official letter in his hand, but his eyes did not move.
"Master, the lady is here."
Teng Yuyi entered the house: "Grandpa."
"Sit down, Grandpa has something to ask you." Teng Shao's face was a little tired, but when he saw his daughter come in, his eyes brightened a bit.
Teng Yuyi glanced at the sachet on Grandpa's waist. In her memory, Grandpa never took off the sachet, and the reasoning would not fall into the hands of others. However, this afternoon at Fandiezhai, she saw Wu Yingying make the exact same " Rain eaves and flowers fall", such a complicated recipe, only by looking at the spices in the sachet can they match the score exactly.
She averted her eyes lightly and sat down on the low couch.
"I heard that Prince Cheng went to the house last night to make arrangements?"
Teng Yuyi paused, but he didn't expect Grandpa to ask about this first.
