Chapter 150 Tangshui Shop (Part [-])
The saint asked King Huai to send troops to support him, which meant that he had military power in his hands. Since ancient times, it has been a taboo to release military power. Why did the saint do this? He still gave it to King Huai, his younger brother who was worried about him.

No wonder the crown prince assassinated King Huai that day, presumably the crown prince was sure of this.

I don't know what happened to Xue Dao. According to the temper of this person in his previous life, he might set fire to the mountain and wipe out all those thugs. Why is he so cautious this time? Or is Suzhou's problem not as simple as it seems on the surface? , Under the disaster situation, what kind of unknown conspiracy?

Thinking about it, Lin Zhao involuntarily showed bitterness in his bright black pupils, or laughed at himself, he was so suspicious now, he was really frightened by a bunch of things in the past six months.

"Ma'am, the cake is ready, try it."

Mangzhong said softly beside him: "I have cut it open for you, be careful of burning it, eat slowly."

It was a clear and cool evening at the end of autumn. There was a three-fold screen at the entrance of Tinglan Waterside Pavilion. Lin Zhao was sitting on a soft cushion. The scroll in her hand had long been covered by dead leaves. She lowered her head and gently swept it away. Taking off the cloak on his back, he took the plate from Mangzhong, the shortbread on it was crispy and golden, and smelled a faint buttery aroma, he put aside his worries, looked up curiously: "It smells like milk. "

The daughter-in-law of Chang Wang's family, who was guarding the stove, looked smug when she heard this, and she seemed to be pleased with Lin Zhao's favor. Softer, I heard that Madam has a weak stomach, so it’s better to eat something softer.”

"Sister-in-law has a heart."

Lin Zhao took a bite, the mellow aroma of the milk was very strong, lingering between the teeth, straight to the nose, and the crispy skin fell off, he couldn't help but praised: "Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really unique, there is no other The shortbread you make is even more delicious."

"The old slave really dare not accept Madam's words."

Chang Wang's family laughed.

Lin Zhao blinked curiously, the bushy eyelashes were flushed with the sunset, as beautiful as a butterfly stopped there, flapping its wings constantly.

"Is there anything better than sister-in-law?"

"Not shortbread."

Chang Wang's family said: "When it comes to shortbread, I and my family will not accept anyone. No one's shortbread in the world is as good as my family's. It's just... speaking of chewing on the street. Head, when I was in Yuntai, my hometown, there was a sugar shop that did the best."

Autumn Equinox was clearing the table for Lin Zhao. The writing brushes on it were very messy. He raised his head and said, "What is there to drink with sugar water? There is also a small sweet water stall in Qingjing City. I drank it before, but it just tasted greasy."

"The sugar water in Qingjing is made with sugar, but the one in Yuntai is boiled with grass roots." Chang Wang's family said with great interest, as if the sugar water was made by her, "Speaking of it, I have also drank it a few times, it is sweet but not greasy, and the aftertaste is bitter, and I heard that drinking it can also cure cough."

Mangzhong joked: "Yuntai? It's also in Lingping, but don't let our young master encounter it. If you drink well, the family will be sent to our house again, but there is no place to live."

"Drag the family?"

Chang Wang's family shook his head, curled his lips and said, "Where does she have a home?"

"How do you say that?"

"I have also heard that the woman in this sugar water shop is named Shi, and she is not a native of Yuntai, she moved here later, she is the only one, she has no children, she may be a widow, she is very beautiful , Madam, what do we have a saying called...Xu...Xu..."

"Mild lady, the charm is still there."

"That's right, she looks like forty or fifty, but the young one looks like a new wife. It's really strange, but there are many hooligans who always go to tease her. Speaking of which, this Shi Shi is not a serious person. "Chang Wang's family recalled, "That syrup is an old recipe. I have never heard of how to make it. Many people pay a lot of money to buy this recipe, but she doesn't sell it at all, so she just relies on this shop to make a living."

"45 years old is still young like a bride." Autumn Equinox said, "It's a lie."

"The slave doesn't know."

Chang Wang's family turned over the iron plate in the stove. After all, this is someone else's business.

Lin Zhao ate the shortbread, but didn't take it seriously.

It was night, in the small hall of the empty hall, Aunt Lian looked at Guanshi Cao standing opposite him, this man was crying, his facial features were all crowded together, entangled in the dark atmosphere, he kept sobbing, his voice was extremely sharp , intermittently, like a ghost screaming, and Lixiang next to her felt panicked when she heard it.

"Hmph, do you still have the face to cry?" Aunt Lian sat up from the soft couch, the fetus in her womb was already very big, she stretched out her hand to support her, and said coldly, "This is such a big deal, and it's worth your crying so long?"

"The old slave has been working in this mansion for more than ten years. Auntie, you never saw when he experienced such uselessness. That Xue Dan had sharp teeth and scolded the old slave. In the end, he wished to drive the slave out. In order to vent her anger on her niece and daughter-in-law, she trampled people to death."

Guanshi Cao wiped the corners of his eyes, but there was actually no water stain, and he sucked his nose fiercely. Aunt Lian reluctantly asked Li Xiang to move a round stool, let Guanshi Cao sit down, and comforted him: "You are the one who came out after Xue Dan left the cabinet. Those who entered the mansion don't know this person's temper. Xue Dan is as hot as a branding iron and regards the family's face as high as the sky. Her heart is not for Lin Zhao, but to protect Xue Dao's daughter-in-law. You can be considered a hit on the head gone."

"The old slave also works for my aunt."

Guanshi Cao muttered with his thin lips, he was very displeased with Aunt Lian's indifference attitude. He thought of her wholeheartedly, but in the end he ended up in a bad situation.

"Butler Cao, what are you talking about? When did my aunt ask you to embarrass the young lady? Who can you rely on if you make up your own mind? Besides, you are also confused. 3000 taels of silver are worth the trouble?" Li Xiang said, "Whatever you do You are also the chief steward of this mansion, and the accounts passed from you every day seem to be flowing, if it is 3 taels, it is okay, but 3000 taels, even a slave thinks it is not worth it."

Li Xiang's eloquent remarks made Steward Cao even more angry. Xue Dan is the master, what is Li Xiang, and immediately said: "You girl, how did you learn that a dog bit Lu Dongbin? Don, but you..."

"All right."

Aunt Lian saw that Guanshi Cao didn't have a clue, and stopped her and said: "Since the master has already spoken, you can just give me the amount of money that should be allocated, and don't embarrass her in the future. When Xue Dao comes back, just mention it." I'm afraid I'll trouble you, as for the rest, I'll do it."

When Guan Shi heard this, he suppressed his nose and said, "Yes."

Aunt Lian's stomach was too heavy, she had no choice but to lie down again, although she didn't like to go out in the empty hall, but she had a clear understanding of the affairs in the mansion, she closed her eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

Guanshi Cao was about to go out at this point, but who knew that when he was about to leave the hospital, he saw a woman in a moon-white robe wrapped in a thick cloak, her skin was porcelain white, exuding an excellent luster, and a pair of black eyes shone brightly. Clever and calm, he smiled lightly and said, "Guan Cao?"

Cao Guanshi's scalp went numb, and he said with a sneer, "Young Madam."

Lin Zhaodao: "Guan Cao, why are you here?"
