Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 86

[Chapter 56 She Dozes Off With Peace of Mind]

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: “Let’s go, the customers in the store have already finished interrogating them, you can let them go.”

Teng Yuyi looked at Juesheng and Qizhi, and it was noon that he wanted to bring them with him . They had a good meal, and as a result, something like this happened, it was about to get dark, and it seemed that they could only perform the contract tomorrow. She said to the two of them, “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.”

Without any objection, he hurriedly said: “Okay, we’ll go to the prince 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 over and blocked the door: “Lin Pingshi On the opposite side, there is a pair of twin girls who heard about the death of Mrs. Rong Anbo, and they fainted from fright. It is said that they met a ghost once in Ojuchuan last time, and after that, they were surprisingly timid, and I saw it just now. My face is as white as paper, Lin Pingshi knows Taoism, why don’t you go and see it in person.”

As soon as Teng Yuyi heard this description, she knew that it was 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. Many people knew Duanfu. She was sitting in the cart, so that no one would know that 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, saying in a low voice, “Senior brother, those little ladies insist we send them back to the house.

” 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.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi: “Then what about the prince?” ”

Isn’t there still two Taoist priests, Jian Tian and Jian Xi?”

Jian Tian and Jian Xi happened to come out of the wine shop, and when they heard this, they said with a smile: ” It’s getting late, and the old Taoists are just hungry, Young Master Wang, we’ll take you back, and it’s not an exaggeration to entertain us with a dinner.”

Teng Yuyi said earnestly, “Hey, why did the Taoist say this, Wang Mouzao I just wanted to treat the Taoist priest once, and it is rare to have this opportunity, so there is no reason to not give hospitality, because I am afraid that the Taoist priest will think the food and drink of the poor mansion is rude.”

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi relieved their hearts and went back to the opposite side to escort the gang of people. set off.

Teng Yuyi’s cart was also officially launched. Jiantian and Jianxi 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 got 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: “Little man, go and exchange two horses for the Taoist priests.” Jiantian

and Jianxi waved their hands: “No, 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.”

After this journey, it was dark when we walked out of the West Market, and Teng Yuyi didn’t have a ride. Tachidi was talking to Erdao, but he was secretly anxious. When Lin Chengyou was setting up the mansion last night, Lin Chengyou told her not to go out at night, but I would have encountered such a thing today. It was Shu Liniang last night. What the hell. 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, and quietly opened the window to see who it was. He heard Tianhe Jianxi say in surprise, “Sir.”

Lin Chengyou reined in the reins and said with a smile, “The two seniors are really slow enough.

” What’s the hurry? Yanshoufang is not far from the West Market, and it’s just after turning two streets. Shizi, aren’t you going to Dali Temple, and it’s not in this direction.”

Lin Chengyou said: “It’s a coincidence, I’m just going to cloth. Zhengfang has something to do.”

Jiantian and Jianxi clapped their hands: “Isn’t that the right way to go?”

Teng Yuyi’s heart fell to the ground, Lin Chengyou was much more reliable than seeing Tian Jianxi.

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 answer, Teng Yuyi would make dim sum 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.

Jian Tian and Jian Xi laughed and said, “Young Master Wang fell asleep in the car?”

Teng Yuyi cleared her throat awkwardly, and said to Cheng Bo, “There are distinguished guests in the mansion tonight, go and prepare a wine banquet.”

Cheng Bo responded.

Teng Yuyi walked in front of Lin Chengyou again, smiled and said, “Sir, please stay and have a meal.”

Lin Chengyou glanced at her, the ashes on her face had already been wiped away, her face was puffy, and her eyes were clean. It’s like cleaned grapes, don’t think about it, you must have slept well in the car along 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.

“Thanks, I still have other things to do.” He turned over and got 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 so urgent…

She remembered that she only learned 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 calmly dismounted and threw the whip to his entourage: “Two Venerable Masters, stay safe.” Jiantian and

Jianxi Returning the salute in a serious manner, Teng Shao is a well-known god of war, no matter how warm his face is, the chilling air on his body can make people shudder.

“General Teng, I’m coming to the mansion tonight to harass me.” “It’s an

honor, please come in.” Teng Shao personally led Jiantian and Jianxi into the house, and Teng Yuyi shook his robe and followed into the mansion.

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.

“But I don’t know if it was done by a human or a demon.”

“So that specter had nothing to do with Lu Zhaoan last night?”

Teng Yuyi shook his head: “I don’t know yet. The real murderer has not been caught yet, everything is just speculation.”

At this time, Uncle Cheng came over: “Madam, the master asked you to go to the study to see him.”

Teng Yuyi snorted and followed Uncle Cheng to the study.

The people led the way, the lantern moved forward slowly in the dark night, the round and bright light 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 room: “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 will 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 mansion to make arrangements last night?”

Teng Yuyi paused, but he didn’t expect Grandpa to ask about this first.
