Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 226 A Thief Meets a Thief Stealing vs Being Assassinated (1)
She put on a plain dress of scattered flowers and clouds and smoke, and inserted the exquisite jasper hairpin bestowed by the emperor on her head as an embellishment. After covering her face with a veil, she led Xue Ling and Lvzhu Lvxiu out the door. After leaving, Tian Liuyue came out from the dark and smiled at her back, with a smug look in her eyes.

Tian Liusu and the others came out of the prime minister's mansion and came to the bustling area of ​​the capital. It was just as lively as when she came last time. The streets were full of traffic, and various small vendors flocked along the street, selling antiques and calligraphy. , rouge and gouache, head jewelry and sachets, all kinds of small handicrafts are exquisite and unparalleled, there are many shops on the street, and all kinds of cries come and go, which is a bustling scene.

Tian Liusu and a few maids walked slowly, shopping, and bought things they liked when they saw them. I have to say that shopping is a woman's nature. This is something that women in any era are obsessed with. While shopping, she forgot her original intention and really concentrated on shopping.

After wandering around for a while, Xue Ling and the two maids were holding all kinds of things in their hands, and Lu Zhu said to Tian Liusu: "Miss, I have bought so many things, the three of us can't hold them all."

Tian Liusu looked up, and saw that this place happened to be a restaurant. It was time for lunch, but there were not many people here, so she couldn't help but feel a little strange. She glanced at her when she heard Luzhu's words and said softly: "How long have you been shopping? You've only visited two-thirds of this street, and there's still one third left."

After finishing speaking, he stopped and turned his head, pointing at the two powerful men dressed as ordinary people not far away and shouted: "Hey, you two, why don't you come over to get something? After following for so long, why don't you keep empty-handed?" ?”

After hearing this, Xue Ling said anxiously: "Miss, how can we ask a strange man to help us get things?"

Tian Liusu smiled and said, "Strangers? They are not strangers. If my guess is correct, they should be the guards in Xiangfu, right? If you want to keep an eye on me, go back to your mother's womb and reborn again."

Tian Liusu deliberately raised his voice and said loudly to the two big men behind him. Seeing that Tian Liusu actually saw through their identities, the two of them didn't know where they had slipped up. The two of them usually had good tracking skills. For a weak woman like her to find out, they really lost their brand.

Knowing that they had been exposed, they stopped putting on airs, and the two walked over dejectedly, looked at Tian Liusu's cold and mocking face and said in a panic: "Second Miss, this subordinate is not watching, but Xiangye is afraid of you. If you have an accident, send us to protect you."

A guard with a round face who looked a little pleasing explained to her with a smile.

"Protection? If you really want to protect me, do you need to be so sneaky?" She rolled her eyes and ignored the two, signaling the three servant girls to give them the things in their hands.

When Xue Ling heard that the two were following them, she suddenly understood something. She stuffed all the things into their hands, then turned around and walked away with Tian Liusu. Holding the things, he reluctantly asked the street vendor for two big bags, put all the things in them, and one person carried the other on his back and followed several people.

Tian Liusu looked at him and said with a smile: "In the future, don't follow so closely. It's easy to expose the target. You have to follow in a detour. Have you never learned the technique of tracking? I don't know how you became the guards of the prime minister's mansion. It's just you who are like you. , that is to say, moving something is more or less the same.”

The two guards became porters in an instant, and they were laughed at by her. They were so ashamed and angry that they wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in. They looked at each other for a long time, and chased after them helplessly.

After wandering around for a long time, Tian Liusu finally felt a little tired, so he thought of the deserted restaurant he saw when he came, so he sent the two guards back first, saying that he would not return until he had dinner.

The two guards didn't want to at first, but they retreated steadily under Tian Liusu's cold eyes. She had already found out that she was stalking secretly, and it didn't make much sense to follow, so she agreed and carried the two big bags Tian Liusu bought on their backs. He went back dejectedly.

After dismissing the two followers who got in the way, Tian Liusu led a few people into the restaurant called "Tianfu Pavilion". But there were not many people, the waiter in the shop saw the guests finally came, and hurriedly came forward to greet them, Tian Liusu asked for a quiet private room by the window, and ordered the waiter to serve some of the signature dishes in the shop, enough for them Just eat it.

Probably due to the lack of customers in the restaurant, the waiter was a little too enthusiastic. He introduced the signature dishes and all kinds of drinks and cakes here. Tian Liusu interrupted him after listening for a while, looked at him with disgust and said: The most exquisite and delicious food, cakes and tea in your restaurant are served on the table, but, you weigh it, it’s enough for the few of us to eat.”

The little girl was talking eloquently, when she was interrupted suddenly, feeling a bit offended, he responded embarrassingly, turned around and left.

The two maids, Lvzhu and Lvxiu, stood beside Tian Liusu, one left and one right, Xue Ling saw them standing, so she didn't sit down, and stood aside, Tian Liusu frowned: "Sit down, all of you." , this is outside, so there is no need to pay so much attention, you stand here and watch, how can I eat?"

"Second Miss, I don't dare to serve the second lady's meals." Lu Zhu said with trepidation and trepidation when he heard Tian Liusu asked them to sit with her and hurriedly waved his hands.

Tian Liusu didn't let them sit anymore, and slavishness wasn't developed in a day. In ancient times, if they were to accept the concept of equality of all beings, it would be their lives, so she shook her head and let Xue Ling sit down. After all, Xue Ling lived with her in Tianshui Village for a while, and was relatively close to her, so she didn't have so much courtesy, so she sat down after hearing what she said.

There were not many people in the restaurant, and the food was served quickly. After a while, Xiao Er came in with the food. According to Tian Liusu's request, he ordered two cold dishes, four hot dishes, two plates of pastries, and a fresh seasonal fruit. The platter and Yigu Jade Pork Shredded Soup are the signature dishes of this restaurant. After serving the dishes, he stood aside with the tray, waiting for Tian Liusu to see if she had any other orders.

Tian Liusu was hungry after shopping all morning. She greeted Xue Ling and picked up the chopsticks to eat. After eating a few mouthfuls, she frowned slightly. It turned out that the taste of these dishes was very delicious, and the dishes were also good. , I just don’t know why the business here is so poor. It stands to reason that even if the restaurant in the bustling area has a bad taste, there will not be fewer people, let alone the taste of this dish is really good, but why is it deserted here?
"Little brother, why is the business in your restaurant so bleak?" Tian Liusu asked after eating a few mouthfuls, seeing Xiao Er standing aside with his head bowed, looking up at him.

"Miss, but our dishes are not delicious? The cooks have worked hard to make these dishes. In the past, our guests here loved them very much. Besides, miss, don't worry, our dishes here are absolutely clean and free from any pollution. of."
