  Chapter 349 Yangchun Noodles (2)

  In fact, this silence was only for a moment, and the noodle noodle shop sounded again immediately, but only the noodle slapping sound was heard, but there was no chatting and chatting as before.

  Wen Mingtang glanced at the gentle-faced woman who wiped the food table with a smile and cleaned up the dishes neatly, rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

After a bowl of Yangchun noodles, Zhao You burped, followed Wen Mingtang up and left the noodle shop. When he walked back to Shengyefang Street, Zhao You rubbed his full stomach and turned to ask Wen Mingtang, "Master Wen, what do you want next?" Where are you going? It’s just time to digest food.”

  Wen Mingtang shook his head, put his feet back, and said, "Go back to Dali Temple!"

Huh? This is different from what Lin Shaoqing said. He thought that Master Wen would take him for a stroll until dusk before going back! Zhao You was a little puzzled.

  However, he has no objection to this. Master Wen returned to Dali Temple earlier, so he can go back and take a nap.

  Looking at Zhao You with a contented expression on his face, Wen Mingtang sighed for no reason, and was a little envious of him: it is really a luxury for her to live freely and happily without thinking about anything.

  I went back to Dali Temple early, but it was a little unexpected for Ji Caimai and others. Especially looking at Wen Mingtang, who was empty-handed and didn't buy any snacks or ingredients, he was even more surprised: Master Wen really rarely went out and came back empty-handed.

  Although it is strange, it is not a big deal whether to bring snacks or not, but what Master Towin inquired about did not know what happened.

Wen Mingtang was not ambiguous, shook his head, looked at Ji Caimai's slightly condensed face, and said, "It's almost the same as what you said, and this Concubine Jing is kind to His Majesty's upbringing, which is troublesome. Wait for Concubine Jing to find out When it comes to the takeaway stall, I'm afraid something will happen."

   There are some things that Wen Mingtang doesn't need to say too carefully, Ji Caimai raised his hand to stop Wen Mingtang from continuing, he already understood.

A Bing and Tangyuan, who were holding milk tea and listening to their conversation, were even more disappointed when they heard the words: At first, they felt that the money they earned this year was far from buying a house, and they wanted to make the takeout stall bigger, but now they don’t want to take out Things like stalls may be yellow.

  Looking at the two people who drooped their heads like frost beating eggplants, Ji Caimai patted their shoulders and comforted them: "Don't worry, just wait and see, there is always a way."

Although he said "there is a way", but thinking about the troubles of Concubine Jing, the emperor's kindness in raising him is not small. I am afraid that ordinary things will be given up in front of this kindness. Not to mention the trivial matter of the small yamen kitchen.

  So... what can be done? Unless the King of Hades is asked to take it away... Ah bah bah, cursing people indiscriminately is a no-brainer!

  Ji Caimai shook his head, and looked at the thoughtful Wen Mingtang. After he raised his hand to stop him, Wen Mingtang stopped talking, but seemed to be thinking about something.

   After a moment of silence, Wen Mingtang said, "I have something to do, so I'll come and see you later." After finishing speaking, he left without waiting for everyone's reaction.

Seeing Wen Mingtang go out without looking back, Ji Caimai turned to look at Zhao You who was holding milk tea and fighting against the little pearl ball with a bamboo tube, thought for a while, and asked him: "Officer Zhao, How did you meet Master Wen today? Did you come back with her again? "

  Zhao You replied honestly: "Lin Shaoqing met Master Wen in front of the palace gate and called me to protect Master Wen."

  As soon as the words came out, Tang Yuan, who was talking with his head down, nudged A Bing with his elbow, gave him a sideways glance, and said, "See? Lin Shaoqing knows how to find someone to protect Master Wen!"

  A Bing heard the words, immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "Success! From now on, I will take you back in the evening."

  That's pretty much it! Tangyuan nodded, expressing her satisfaction, but immediately felt something was wrong, it wasn't that Ah Bing was wrong, but...

   "Lin Shaoqing is really... so kind to Master Wen!" Tang Yuan murmured, "Better than Ah Bing treated me!"

Dayong's daughter's family is not all twitchy. The parents of Lao Yuan and A Bing in the left and right families know about their affairs, and they work in the same place again. They are a couple, and the two families are happy. See what happens.

  Ji Caimai frowned subconsciously after hearing what Tangyuan said, and looked around, seeing that there were only a few of them in the public kitchen and Zhao You, Lin Shaoqing's own person, before saying "be careful".

A Bing and Tangyuan, who were bluffed by this cautious word, were taken aback. After reacting, they thought that Master Wen and Lin Shaoqing were not as simple as the two of them. Don't talk nonsense either.

After getting to know the behavior of several people and knowing that they would not talk nonsense, Ji Caimai said again: "Master Wen's life experience is also known to everyone, how can her father's affairs be so easy? Although Lin Shaoqing doesn't talk much, the general outside will He preached it as if Shura was reincarnated, but inside he was actually a warm-hearted..."

  A Bing, Tang Yuan and even Zhao You all subconsciously looked up at Ji Caimai: Warm hearted...

  Lin Shaoqing is not quite the same as the kind-hearted and kind-hearted person they imagined, but although he is not willing to give, he is very useful when he encounters troubles, difficulties and injustices.

   It can be said that Lin Shaoqing does not do much to make the icing on the cake, but he should be sought out for helping people in need. As long as he can do his best, he is generally willing to help.

  Master Wen's matter... It seems that only Lin Shaoqing can take care of it, and has the ability to take care of it.

   Aware of the ambiguity in what he said, Ji Caimai couldn't help coughing lightly, and said awkwardly: "In short, that's what it means. Lin Shaoqing is just helping out, don't talk nonsense!"

  Thinking about it carefully, Lin Shaoqing and Master Wen did abide by the way of a gentleman when they get along with each other, even if they talk a lot in daily life, they mostly talk about eating and drinking, which is not something that should not be said to outsiders.

   After beating a few people, Ji Caimai didn't say anything more. He finally understood: the crux of the matter still lies with Lin Shaoqing, not Master Wen. It was Lin Shaoqing who took the initiative to help, but fortunately, he did it well and didn't fall into the shoes of others.

   It's just... It's probably the experience and premonition of those who have been there. He always feels that Lin Shaoqing seems to have taken care of Master Wen a little too much, but this is too good. Even if he wants to remind him, he can't find anything wrong.

  Although we have known Master Wen for less than a year, the acquaintance is not long or short. Not only cherishing talents, Ji Caimai really likes this smart and beautiful little lady who has experienced ups and downs from the bottom of her heart.

  Little people always have to be cautious in life, especially women, in this world... eh, even more so.

  Lin Shaoqing is cold outside and hot inside, he is a good person, but regardless of his background or others, he is doomed not to be such a small person as them. It doesn't matter if he falls into someone's mouth, it subsides in a month or so, but for little people like them, some mistakes are not made by them, but once they are provoked, it will be hard to recover, and it is very likely to cause a catastrophe disaster.

   Little people, there are too many things on their heads, such as power, rumors, etc., so you have to be careful every step of the way.

  They cannot make mistakes, let alone gamble. Ji Caimai made up her mind and thought.

Zhao You in that room has always been the one with the least thoughts in the room. After being interrupted by Ji Caimai, he waited for the opportunity to continue speaking. Seeing that everyone was silent now, he kept his savings and continued: "Then I accompanied Master Wen to a small alley in Shengyefang, which is facing the back door of the row of shops on Shengye Street..."

"The two of us went to a noodle restaurant and ate a bowl of Yangchun noodles. The Yangchun noodles were cooked quite authentically. When we were eating happily, two maidservants ran out from the back door of the jewelry shop opened by Prince Liyang's mansion. The proprietress He said he took a shortcut and went back to the palace, but some people said that this is not the way to go to the palace, and the proprietress said that he had been walking through the back door for three months..."

  Zhao You just recounted what happened today as if he was going backwards. He didn't notice that Ji Caimai's face changed slightly when he heard this.

  It's been three months, is it such a coincidence? When I went to Zhuangzi to buy ingredients this morning, could the rumors I heard be true?

  If so, Master Wen must have gone to look for the warehouse official. Ji Caimai was stunned, thought for a while, and immediately stepped out of the public kitchen and walked towards the warehouse.

In recent days, the officials and guards in the yamen have been running around looking for clues for the case, and the guards in the prison have also been reminded by Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu to be more vigilant and attentive to the prisoners in prison, patrolling almost every hour once.

   But the little official who manages the files in the treasury is free. Lin Shaoqing, who likes to come to the warehouse to look through files when encountering cases on weekdays, seems to be non-existent in this case, and she asks for leave every three days. As a result, his place has become an idle place instead.

  After sorting out the files in the warehouse every day, and checking whether the borrowed files have been returned, the clerk opened the notebook in his hand and began to read the notebook to pass the time.

   At this moment, an unexpected guest came to the door.

Looking at Wen Mingtang who was carrying snacks such as milk tea, rice crackers, and crispy barbecue in his hand, the petty official rubbed his nose, smelling the tempting aroma of the snacks, greeted Wen Mingtang with a smile, and called "Wen "Master", he said with a smile: "Master Wen will go to the Three Treasures Hall if there is nothing wrong, there must be something wrong, right?"

  Wen Mingtang nodded, looked at the little official with a smile: "There is indeed something, I want to ask adults to help me."

  Although he is a petty official, it is not wrong to call him "Master".

  The little official didn't care what the name was. He only looked at the snacks for a moment, then looked up at Wen Mingtang again: "If you can't help..."

   Not all files in the warehouse can be accessed by anyone at will. Even if Master Wen asks him for help, only a small part can be accessed.

  Although there are ways of the world, there are still some rules that cannot be broken.

   "That's because what I'm asking for is too much, and it has nothing to do with adults." Wen Mingtang didn't intend to break the rules with a little snack.

  The little official took the snack and asked Wen Mingtang, "What does Master Wen want to investigate?"
