"My lord, Deyue Tower is not full of guests today. I heard that a new cook has arrived. The Jiangnan dishes he cooks are very popular. Why don't you reserve a table for my lord to try?" Zitong asked, satisfied with the surrounding environment. Disgust was written on his face.
"I'm used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, so I have to give this stomach a little bit of flavor once in a while, don't you? Otherwise, wouldn't it be too wronged to follow this king?"
Su Ce didn't care to pull away the chair in front of him, and he didn't seem to notice the dirt on the table. He greeted the boss who was busy on the other side familiarly, "Boss, two bowls of red oil to make your hands."
"Come on, son, please use it slowly."
When the shopkeeper personally delivered the two bowls of warm chao shou, he looked at Su Ce with a smile on his face, obviously not knowing his real identity, "Young master has been visiting Xiao's shop for three consecutive days, so it can be seen that he really likes to eat my food. Today I will give you a large portion of Chaoshou, if you still like it, you can call me to give you a free increase."
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
Nodding with a gentle smile, Su Ce has already picked up the chopsticks and savored contentedly.
It was not the first time he had tried eating on the street, but compared with the men and women at other tables, it was obvious that there was one less person opposite him.
Once upon a time, he also fantasized that it would be interesting if that girl could sit down with him, taste street food, and discuss the recent situation in Kyoto.
Unfortunately, the dream will not become a reality after all.
"Not hungry?" Su Ce raised his eyes and looked at Zitong who was standing upright. Seeing that he still looked disgusted, he hummed and shook his head, "So don't you like to eat this Chaoshou? Then I will grant you a fake, Go to Deyue Tower to have a meal, and it will be counted on my son's account. Two hours, is the time enough?"
Zitong was shocked, "Master, I know that this subordinate doesn't mean that."
He sat down in a hurry, ate the Chaoshou in front of him, gobbled it up, as if he hadn't eaten for three days and three nights.
"Slow down, those who don't know think your son treated you harshly." Su Ce shook his head.
Zitong was so frightened that she took the spoon and didn't know whether to eat or not, and finally put the spoon into the bowl weakly, "This subordinate is just a lowly subordinate. If there was no son to rescue him, this subordinate would have starved to death on the street. It is better than any delicacies from mountains and seas, but the young master is the master, how can the master eat these on the street..."
It's not that he looks down on the street stalls, it's that he is a son, if someone with a heart sees it, he may be humiliated behind his back.
The young master may not care, but he feels worthless for the young master.
"The late emperor once squatted on the street and ate steamed buns. I can sit on this chair and eat a bowl of steaming red oil. I don't feel bad. Why are you wronged?" Su Ce smiled softly, warm in the afternoon. The sun shone on his body, and although it was very cold in winter, it still coated his whole body with halos.
Su Ce is like a born noble son.
"After noon?" he asked suddenly.
Zitong was taken aback, and instantly understood what the young master asked, "Back to young master, the emperor ordered that Concubine Min Gui be beheaded at the Meridian Gate at noon today, and it is already three quarters noon."
Presumably she has already been killed.
"What she deserves, she deserves it."
Su Ce seemed to be very satisfied with the answer, but when he thought of someone, he sighed sadly, "It's a pity that Xi Desheng, obviously a disaster came to him, but he got hurt."
Zitong knew what the master was sorry for, and his face instantly became tense, "I heard that the sixth prince deliberately asked someone to investigate Xi's private affairs thoroughly, and then threatened him to work for Concubine Min, but son, Qin Ruochen will not be with Min The imperial concubine is in the company, why do you secretly help her?"
If Qin Ruochen hadn't told Concubine Min that Eunuch Xi married his wife privately outside the palace, Concubine Min would not have gotten hold of him and threatened him to send Concubine Yi away, at least Concubine Yi would not have died that night.
Su Ce paused with his hand holding the spoon, "I don't care if you don't mention it. It seems that what Qin Ruochen really wants to do is not to let him help Concubine Min to eradicate the enemy. It's a pity that Xi Desheng is dead and there is no proof, even if Qin Ruochen We will not know what we found out from Xidesheng's mouth."
The hand holding the spoon slowly tightened, and a cold air suddenly rose from Su Ce's body.
Xi Desheng is a celebrity around the emperor, and catching her is equivalent to breaking one of the emperor's wings.
This Qin Ruochen is really brave!
Su Ce was about to ask something, but suddenly caught a familiar figure in his sight.
Zitong looked back along his line of sight, and obviously saw someone she was familiar with, "That's not the second prince's personal maid, what is she doing in and out of the teeth? My son, do you want your subordinates to inquire?"
"It's a girl's private matter, what are you, a man, so curious about?"
Su Ce glanced at him and continued to eat with his head down.
"It is rumored that Xi Desheng married a wife outside the palace for only three years, and his wife is as beautiful as a flower. If the family was not poor, he would not have committed himself to an eunuch. It is a pity that he married a eunuch and his husband died. He became an eunuch overnight. Widow. Zitong, find some time to express my condolences and express my lord's heart."
Su Ce said, his voice meant something.
Zitong has been by his side since he was a child, and he can understand even his eyes, so how can he not know what his master wants to do.
"The emperor took pity on him and did not harm his family, but I heard that the woman was very sad when she learned that Xi Desheng was beheaded, and she fell ill. Later, my subordinates will find a doctor to go and have a look."
Su Ce nodded in satisfaction, and was about to take out the silver to pay the bill and leave, but found Shang Zhi coming out of his teeth with a face full of disappointment.
Throwing the silver on the table casually, he strode forward.
Before Zitong finished eating, she hastily swallowed the chaste in her mouth and chased after her, "My lord, didn't you say that big men can't meddle in girls' private affairs?"
"Really? My son actually said such a thing?"
Su Ce didn't turn his head back, he had already strode behind Shang Zhi, he was about to ask, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was too active and his identity didn't match, so he looked back and gave Zitong a look, "Why are you still standing there?"
Zitong's face was full of black lines, and he pretended to be reluctant to bump into Shang Zhi in a hurry.
"Hey, you bumped into me, how did you walk!"
"I'm sorry girl, I injured my right foot a few days ago, I went out in a hurry today and didn't have time to take the medicine, somehow I got sick and hit the girl, girl, are you okay?" Zitong apologized hurriedly, her voice was never softer than before, Even he himself was disgusted, "I don't know where I bumped into the girl, how about I take you to the hospital to have a look?"
"Medical clinic? I'm a doctor, why go to a medical clinic, but are you injured? Where is the injury, do you need to go to my girl's medical clinic for treatment?" Shang Zhi lowered his head to check his injuries while talking. But it was also at this time that he discovered his identity, "You...you...why do you look familiar?"
Hearing the light cough coming from behind, Shang Zhi raised his eyes, and hastily saluted the man who was walking slowly, "The daughter of the people pays her respects to the virtuous king."
"You're not my maidservant, please give me some greetings, get up." Su Ce pretended to be passing by, with a casual and natural expression, "You came out alone? Where's your girl?"
"Of course the girl is at the mansion." Shang Zhi replied, feeling that this was a little against the Xian Wang, and hurriedly explained, "The girl is inconvenient, and the Lord does not let her go out all the time, but it is precisely because her body is getting worse day by day, so I want to find him A personal girl is serving, no, let the servants come to see if there is anything suitable."
It turned out to be like this.
Su Ce nodded, "But judging by your expression, it doesn't seem quite right?"
"King Xian is really smart." Shang Zhi was a little surprised. How can all the men in the capital know how to read minds? Is her expression so obvious?
"My mother-in-law said that a few days ago, a certain big family suddenly bought a large number of girls, and all the better ones were bought away. I don't even look down on the rest, let alone girls." Shang Zhi sighed, " I have to feel sorry for the girl waiting for a while."
"Didn't Ling Muer always like to be alone, besides, isn't there you by my side?" Su Ce was curious.
That's right, as long as it's about that girl, he can't help being curious.
What kind of big man can't spy on the girl's affairs, um, at this moment he is not a big man, but Miss Ling's... Little Mystery Brother.
"Since the girl was pregnant, her pulse has been... King Xian knows, but the hospital is very busy all day long, and Shang Zhi can't always serve the girl by her side, so the girl plans to find a girl. .”
"So that's how it is." Su Ce muttered to himself, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and had an idea, "Most of the girls in the teeth are sold, and they have no training. It just so happens that I know a brother whose family is going to move to the south recently. There are too many servants in the family and I can't take them away, why don't you go back and ask your girl, if you don't dislike her, can the king recommend her?"
"Really?" Shang Zhi was overjoyed, "Shang Zhi thanked the virtuous king for the girl!"
Thinking of King Xian's help, her originally unhappy face instantly beamed with joy, "The friends of King Xian must be distinguished and distinguished, and the girls from rich families are naturally trained, and they must be good girls who can take care of them. No wonder the girl always mentions that she owes a lot to the virtuous king, after thinking about it, she really is, every time the girl is in trouble, the virtuous king is always there to help, and this servant thanked the virtuous king again."
"She really said that?"
Hearing Ling Mu'er always mentioning herself in daily life, Su Ce's heart seemed to have fireworks blooming.
"Your servant dare not lie to the virtuous king." Shang Zhi lowered his head and explained timidly. Suddenly remembering the girl's explanation, she hurriedly added, "I don't know if the girl from the family the virtuous king knows is good at kung fu?"
"Why, there are not enough hidden guards around Ling Muer, we need skilled ones?"
For some reason, Su Ce felt a little nervous. Although he didn't live under the same roof as Ling Muer day and night, that girl was very spirited. If it wasn't necessary, she would never raise this condition.
It can be regarded as a mistake.
"It just so happens that my friend's family runs an escort agency, not to mention the slaves who follow him, even the girl who burns fire is good at it, so I will recommend it later."
"Thank you, King Xian!" Shang Zhi was very happy, the matter that the girl explained was finally done, she hurriedly turned her eyes to look at Zitong. "Didn't the young master just say that the leg injury has recurred? Anyway, the girl's explanation has been done, why don't you ask Shang Zhi to check it for the young master?"
As she said that, before Zitong could respond, she had already reached out and started to take off his shoes and socks.
Zitong was terrified, he had never met such a simple and warm girl, he quickly dodged, "Don't dare to bother the girl."
"Don't, young master, don't call me that, I'm just a slave, besides, I accidentally bumped into young master just now."
Being called a girl so tenderly, Shang Zhi blushed, and even lowered her head in embarrassment.
When she was shy, Zitong felt even more embarrassed. He blinked his eyes, and hid behind Su Ce without a trace, "Master, isn't your master looking for a maidservant for Miss Ling, why don't we go now, I'm afraid that friend's house will 'move' later." gone!"
Su Ce looked back and shot a warning look, but soon, he stared at him and chuckled.
"Young master, why are you looking at me like that?"
"You're blushing."
