Red apricots make spring

Chapter 179
When Wen Gang and the others came back, they heard that Xu Xiucai was causing trouble again, so he couldn't help but curse him again. After the meal, Wen Gang was gently asked to write a letter to Lu Ce, but there was no acquaintance to bring the letter. If someone peeked at it, the words and sentences in the letter were written in a very cryptic manner. If someone read it without knowing the inside story, they would not be able to understand what the letter was saying at all.

After finishing writing, Wen Gang read the letter again, nodded gently, bit his lip and muttered: "Let's add another paragraph, let him not kill other people..."

The ancient laws were not perfect, and murders happened from time to time, and the superiors didn't care much about the lives of civilians. Although she felt that Lu Ce was not the kind of person who killed innocent people indiscriminately, she couldn't help but want to remind him, after all, Xu Xiucai No matter how annoying it is, it's not a sin enough to die.

The letter was written and sealed with wax paint. When it was time to find someone to deliver it the next day, Wen Rou hesitated a lot, and finally went to Mo Wanjiang and asked him to bring this letter with him when he sent an official document to the capital. To Lu Ce.It's not easy to come to the door empty-handed when asking for help, so gentle and hand-made four-color exquisite dim sum.

The shape of Jadeite Shaomai is like a pomegranate with a cracked mouth. The skin is so thin that the full green filling can be seen inside. From a distance, it looks like it is carved out of jade, exquisite and translucent.

After the taro corners are wrapped, they should be deep-fried until they become golden in color and burnt with jade. The appearance is not very eye-catching, but the outer skin is crispy and the filling is slightly juicy. It tastes fragrant and delicious when bitten.

Pigeon egg balls are stuffed with mint and sugar. Lying on the washed fresh mint leaves, they look very white and delicate, revealing a luster like jade porcelain. The taste is elastic and sweet, but the mint is cool and refreshing After the sugar is relieved, take a breath after eating, it is a slightly sweet coolness.

The crabapple cakes are exquisite and beautiful. They are made in the shape of blossoming crabapple flowers, filled with jujube paste fillings, and a little bright red honeydew cherries in the center of the flowers. The appearance and taste are excellent.

Genuan put the four-color dim sum into a red lacquer box. The amount of each is not much, and the rest is shared among the family members. Anyway, it is enough to taste the delicate dim sum, which is not for eating in the first place. Yes, if there is a full box piled up, the elegant beauty will be lost.

The place where she lived was not too far from the government office, and when she rushed there, the jadeite siu mai and the fragrant taro corner were still slightly hot, she explained her intention to Mo Wanjiang, handed the letter to him, Wenrou also said goodbye and left, but just before Before leaving, she mentioned that the dim sum should be eaten before it is completely cold. If it is ready to eat, she can send an attendant to come to the ward, and she will make it later.

Mo Wanjiang nodded in agreement, and asked someone to send her out. He brought the box of pastries into the back hall, opened it, and saw that the four-color pastries were seen before, and some were unknown. They were all exquisite and beautiful. They are placed in a suitcase at intervals, which makes people unbearable to taste.

"It's such a delicate snack, where did you buy it?" Mo Wanjiang's wife, Mrs. Zhou, was doing needlework. When she saw this box of snacks, she stopped working. She quickly called the maid to put it out, made tea, and called the young master. Let's have tea together.

"It was sent by the girl whom Mr. Jingli Lu asked me to take good care of." Mo Wanjiang nodded and said, "That girl is really good-looking, her words and deeds are very decent, and she is not like ordinary civilians when she meets officials. of cringe and terror."

"Master Lu is kind to you, so you should pay more attention to what he ordered." Zhou said hurriedly.

Mo Wanjiang nodded and said: "She is a girl's family. It is difficult for her to pretend to be a man and do business all day long. It's just that the places I can take care of are limited. I just let her come to me when she has something to do, and protect her from being hurt." The harassment of those local ruffians and evil officials is nothing more than that, if there is something against the law, there is nothing I can do to help."

Mrs. Zhou sighed, and was about to speak, when she saw her seven-year-old only son, Mo Li, rushing in from outside. He was about to touch the table for snacks with his hands tied in mud. He quickly knocked off his hands and let the maid take them water to wash his hands.

"Mom, this dumpling is delicious!" Li Li tasted every dim sum, especially the pigeon egg dumpling. He ate three of them in one go before stopping and asking, "Where did they come from? I want to eat it tomorrow." eat."

Mo Wanjiang scolded with a smile: "It's sent by someone else, just taste it, how can there be any reason to eat it? You've been playing for a long time, so go practice calligraphy after eating." He picked up a jade siu mai with his chopsticks, tasted it and nodded silently.

Don't mention Mo's family affairs, just talk about gentleness. Out of the gate of the mansion, I met a man in purple sauce-colored silk clothes who came over with two bags of things. After a closer look, it was the lingering Xu Xiucai, who raised his eyebrows immediately. Frowning, pretending not to see him, turned sideways and went to another road.

Xu Xiucai saw Wenrou outside the government office again, and was slightly surprised. He was guessing the purpose of her coming here when he saw her frowning at him. Difficulty is approaching, but instead of rushing over to curry favor with him, he even acted as if he looked down on him, avoiding the road!

As soon as he got hot-headed, he immediately went to see Mo Wanjiang. Mo Wanjiang was enjoying his family happiness in the back hall. When he heard Xu Xiucai begging to see him, he felt very impatient. Humanity: "Ask him if there is anything important, if not, then talk about it later."

The person who sent the report went out to ask for a while, and then came in and said: "Xu Shuli said that he has something to go back to the capital, please allow half a month's leave."

"Oh, yes." There are not many things recently, and Xu Xiucai is not the only clerk in the government office. If he wants to ask for leave, he can do so. Mo Wanjiang doesn't care much, and just puts a crabapple cake in Zhou's hands Said: "Try this, the jujube smell is very strong!"

When Xu Xiucai heard that Mo Wanjiang accepted his leave without hesitation, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed. He was happy because he had time to go to the capital to inquire about the Wen family's affairs, but he was disappointed that Mo Wanjiang didn't hesitate to keep him. In the end, he bowed his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly slapped his thigh, and suddenly thought: Rourou must be telling Mo Wanjiang what he is right and wrong in front of Mo Wanjiang!How else would Mo Wanjiang treat him differently?
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the hatred for Wen Rou became even more intense in his heart. While going back to pack his luggage, he secretly thought about how to treat her to be happy after he caught Wen Wen's handle.After thinking about it, I decided to take her as a concubine at that time. Not only can I enjoy her beauty, but I can also abuse her wantonly. When I am prosperous, I will marry a decent wife with status, and let Wenrou serve them. The money to buy a maid!
By the way, isn't she still in business?At that time, think of a way to take the shop she opened as her own, and then she will have no worries about eating and drinking in the days to come!If you have spare money, you may be able to get through the door and work as an official!The more Xu Xiucai thought about it, the more complacent he became, and he forgot all about the disappointment he had received from Mo Wanjiang's cold reception just now. He packed his luggage on his back, and quickly went out to hire a car and headed for the capital.

However, Mo Wanjiang didn't have any official documents to send to the capital recently, and he didn't send the letter entrusted to him by Wen Rou to the capital together with the official documents until three days later. At this time, Xu Xiucai was only two days away from the capital. Seeing that no matter how hard he rushed, Lu Ce would not be able to receive the letter before he entered the city.However, Mo Wanjiang was unaware of this matter, and Ruan originally estimated that Xu Xiucai was working in the government office and was not a free agent. She should not be able to rush to the capital so soon, but she did not expect Xu Xiucai to punish her. With great enthusiasm for the matter, he actually said to investigate it, so he immediately investigated it. It is really a wise man who has a lot of worries, and there is bound to be a mistake.

Xu Xiucai fantasized about the bright future all the way, and arrived in Kyoto happily.He originally lived in a rented house, and now he has no place to stay, so he can only find an inn to live in first.He always only knew that Wen's family had moved to another place to open a shop, but he didn't quite know where they moved to. He got up early the next morning, washed and tidy, and put on a brand new white silk dress to go to the old rented house. Walk in the alley.

Seeing Xu Xiucai's radiant face and decent clothes, the neighbors all came to flatter him and chat, but taught him to show off for a long time, and felt a vanity pleasure of returning home, until the acquaintance matchmaker Ma Shi stepped three steps He swayed in front of him, flattered him for a long time, and inquired whether he had married a wife. Then he remembered the purpose of his visit today, and asked Mrs. Ma if he knew where the Wen family moved. went.

Mrs. Ma glanced at him sideways, shook his handkerchief and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu is really a person who misses the past deeply, and now he is on the rise. Haven't forgotten the Wen family girl?"

In front of many neighbors, Xu Xiucai had no choice but to put on a calm and moral face, and scolded her: "Don't talk nonsense, I have serious business to find them."

Mrs. Ma obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't dare to offend him, so he just pushed his face and said with a smile: "I moved to the snack street, look for it, I heard there is a signboard of 'Wen's Food Shop', the business is booming!"

Other neighbors who knew a little about it also nodded in agreement.

Xu Xiucai said goodbye to all the neighbors when he heard the words, and walked away. Seeing that he left just as he said, Mrs. Ma chased after him in panic and shouted loudly: "Mr. Xu, if there is a girl who wants to come to propose marriage , don’t forget to find me—”
