Chapter 25 Dessert, fresh soup, clay man
The Third Street in Chengnan is still very lively. News that a wealthy family who did not want to be named had been porridge in the Third Street for a month spread wildly. Compared to the poor families on the first day, there were more people on the second day. The long streets were almost everywhere with pale faces and thin skin and unable to eat.
Fortunately, there were only a dozen people who came to cook porridge yesterday, but today it has increased to more than 30 people. They are well-manned and are full of rice and flour. They started to make porridge early in the morning, and they were very busy!
Qin Fei was wearing a serious patrol uniform, cross-body waist knife, and stood majestic on the Sanjie commanding the station. Fortunately, these poor families were easy to manage. They knew that they would definitely have their own share after waiting. Not many people made trouble. They stood in a team honestly and waited for the porridge to be served.
Ling'er was still wearing the maid's clothes, holding her hair casually, and her little face was red by the fire, and she was busy making porridge. Seeing that she was so hot that she was sweating profusely, Shi Shiran walked up, took out the clean handkerchief, and handed it to Ling'er: "I left in a hurry yesterday and took away your handkerchief. I have washed it. However, I also washed the powder on it."
Looking at the neatly folded handkerchief, Ling'er chuckled and took the handkerchief and laughed: "It's hard for you, a big man, to wash your handkerchiefs. It's very clean!"
Qin Fei said freely and easily: "As a man, if you can't take care of yourself, how can you live in the future? Keep making porridge, I will maintain order on the street, and call me if you need help."
Ling'er said with a smile: "Okay, my name is Lingsi, where are you?"
Qin Fei was about to say his name, but suddenly he remembered that he was a celebrity now. If Qin Fei had spoken out, there were not many people who didn't know about Dong. So he shook his head and said lightly: "What's the point of asking for a simple task?" After that, he turned around and left.
The crowded crowd received rice porridge and steamed buns and left happily. Even though Qin Fei had an extraordinary cultivation level and was full of energy, he felt a little tired after walking around the street for a while.
He tossed and turned and asked not to go to the line, or he would help him help the staggering old lady... Before he knew it, the sun was already noon.
Two capable servants carried more than two feet high and exquisite food boxes to Sanjie. The servants and maids who had been busy all morning started eating in batches.
A servant, holding a small box, delivered it to Ling'er with both hands, lowered his voice and said, "Miss, I'm afraid you are so busy and have no appetite to eat, so I cooked myself to make snacks for the lady and cooked Jade White Jade Sanzhen Soup. It's still hot, Miss, eat it quickly!"
Ling'er took the box and saw a delicate snack inside, which was pleasantly fragrant and a pot of thick soup. In a blink of an eye, she saw Qin Fei still busy on the side of the road, so she took two small bowls, ran to Qin Fei with the box, and handed the food box in front of him: "Hey, I'll treat you to eat."
Qin Fei has never been a polite person, and he didn't know how much thought this snack and soup contained a mother's thoughts. He thanked him carelessly. Feng Juan Canyun ate most of the snacks. Ling'er smiled and watched him eat it, poured another bowl of soup to him, and whispered: "What's the hurry? No one is robbing you? Don't choke!"
Qin Fei swallowed the food in his mouth embarrassedly, took the fresh soup, and explained: "I forgot to eat in the morning. I was really hungry. I still have some, so you can eat some too."
Ling'er said 'um', poured herself a bowl of soup, stood beside Qin Fei, and drank in small sips.
A ragged little boy stood in front of the two of them, twitched his nose hard, licked his lips, and murmured: "It smells so good...it smells so good..."
A thin woman behind him smiled at the two of them in embarrassment and explained: "It's so embarrassing that the child lacks discipline!"
Qin Fei squatted down, poured another bowl of soup from the soup pot, and turned to look at Ling'er: "Give him a bowl, don't you mind?"
"Of course I don't mind!" Ling'er said apologetically: "It's a pity that the soup is just that."
The little boy took the soup bowl excitedly and drank it all in a hurry. However, his mother kept thanking him, looking extremely embarrassed.
Ling'er put away the plate and bowl and whispered: "Then I'm going back and I'm busy..."
Qin Fei smiled and nodded: "Go!"
After walking two steps, Ling'er turned around and said, "If you are thirsty, come and look for me. There is prepared tea over there..."
It doesn't matter if ordinary people see this. The people of Da Chu are fierce, and the defense between men and women is not very strict. Even if young men and women openly flirt on the street, no one will say anything. As long as they do not make behaviors that are contrary to morality, they are within the acceptable range. On the third street, those poor people, when they see Ling'er dressed as a maid, and laugh with a low-level inspector, they think that these two men are handsome and have a kind heart.
But when it fell on the teahouse, it was completely different from the smell.
"Fifth brother, the lady is a good person, I know that. She has never had any airs to the people in the mansion since she was a child and has never had any airs. However, I see that the lady has never been right about Qin Fei's actions. I am still a bachelor and don't know much about men and women. Fifth brother, you have already married a wife and four concubines. Come and see if it's not right?" The man in the right said with a frown.
The man called the fifth brother, Lei Ran breathed a sigh of relief and said proudly: "When it comes to women, my fifth brother is definitely the top spot among our brothers. The lady is kind-hearted and usually in the mansion, so she has few opportunities to come out. Once she came out by chance, she met the children of officials. Those men brag are good at bragging, but when it comes to behavior, they are more than the other. Not to mention anything else, are there any boys in our Dongdu official family? None of them are there?"
Lao Wu continued, "Miss took advantage of the opportunity of relief and appeared in disguise. She happened to meet Qin Fei. To be honest, this kid is handsome, has a steady work, and has a good heart. Of course, the lady looks at him and likes him no matter how she looks at him! I don't think it's possible to tell what the lady is about. At most, she thinks this person is pretty good!"
Lao Qi sighed, "Even if it's interesting, I have to pinch it. Mandong all knows that Qin Fei is the future son-in-law of the Censor Tang. It would be best if the lady looks down on him. If she gets into some girl's worries... it will be a big trouble!"
Lao Wu raised his head proudly, looked at the busy Ling'er, and said indifferently: "What's the trouble? Although Tang Yin is powerful, our master is not easy to bully. It is said that Tang Daier is the number one beauty in Dongdu. Let me see, our lady is the most beautiful woman. Whose lady will marry in the future is whose blessing!"
The two were chatting in the teahouse, but downstairs were crowded with people. These two looked like ordinary middle-aged people. If they mentioned their names, many people in Dongdu were afraid that they would fight with their calves.
Their reputation of evil was resounding in the Eastern Capital more than ten years ago, and later served for the officials, so it was considered a stable life. With these two people in charge, secretly protecting Ling'er, ordinary people, etc., they would never cause any harm to Ling'er!
Of course, Ling'er also knew that there was someone upstairs protecting her. While she was busy, she showed a smile on the upstairs, which made the two boring middle-aged uncles feel like spring breeze. She was protected by these two people when she was learning to speak. For more than ten years, her relationship has been extremely deep.
The sun gradually sinks, and rice and flour are also consumed. The servants and maids who have been busy for a whole day packed up their backs and are ready to leave. Ling'er looked around and found that the inspector had already left, and Dai'er, who promised her, had not arrived. She couldn't help but feel a little angry... The busy days always pass quickly. Every day, Ling'er, who dressed up simply, is busy making porridge and donating charity for others. Qin Fei has no important things to do for the time being. Under the monitoring of the Inspection Office, the Nancheng Inspection Office simply comes to Sanjie every day to help maintain order!
Every day, people can see that a pretty and lovely maid always takes some delicious food in different ways to find the inspector to have lunch together... They talk and laugh, and do things meticulously. On sunny days, they bask in the warm sun and share the food brought by the girl.
On the afternoon when it was drizzling, the two hid under the eaves, chatting and enjoying the fragrant lunch... Qin Fei would also bring some snacks and fruits from the vegetable market from time to time to taste for the girl. Occasionally, he would take some strange gadgets to make Ling'er in the high-gate mansion love her.
"I went back yesterday and saw Old Man Zhang, who was selling clay men, who had not closed the stall, so I pinched a little man with him!" Qin Fei took out a small clay man from his pocket, wearing a green dress and white dress, with fluttering hair, which was clearly Ling'er's outfit.
Ling'er took the little clay man and looked at it for a while, and laughed and said, "Although the pinch is not very delicate, I accepted it because of your wish."
Qin Fei deliberately looked stern: "Don't force me, if you don't want it, just return it to me. All the girls who don't want it here are dressed in blue and white dresses, so I'll give it to them."
"That won't work!" Ling'er pouted and put the little clay man in her sleeve like lightning.
On the way back that night, Ling'er's words made the fifth and seventh brothers, who were extremely cultivating and invincible in the cold and heat, burst into a cold sweat: "Uncle Fifth and Uncle Seventh, please help me find some mud. Ling'er wants to get a black patrol and let that brat see my skills..."
In a blink of an eye, twenty days have passed. On the morning of drizzling drizzle, a vermilion carriage slowly stopped at the intersection of Sanjie Road. A maid in a long blue dress seemed to be dripping heavily, dyed her lips thickly, and rubbed the powder very heavily. At first glance, she was a vulgar maid. If she looked carefully, she would be amazed that the girl's appearance was simply unparalleled... She lowered her head and walked towards Ling'er who was giving porridge. On the carriage behind her, a elegant and elegant scholar in white looked at her leaving with a smile... "Ling'er...sh!" The girl pressed her fingers on her lips and said softly: "It's me, I'm here!"
"Sister Dai'er..." Ling'er happily grabbed Tang Dai'er's hand, then pouted her mouth and said angrily: "You promised Ling'er that she wanted to come, why are you here now?"
Tang Daier said sadly: "Don't mention it. Since the Imperial Heaven Supervision has been engaged in the wedding date, the officials of the Dongdu City have almost kicked the door of my house. My sister has thought it out every day, but my father wants me to stay at home. It's not until today that I can be considered free. Uncle Liu personally sent me over..."
A rain cannon was set up in the place where the porridge was donated, and there were still bustling people on the road, but today the figure of the black-clothed inspector was missing. However, under his 20-day maintenance, the people who came to collect rice and flour had already formed rules, silently lined up and waited for the alms.
Ling'er looked at the long queue in dismay, sat down dejectedly, muttering, "Sister, you came here unfortunately. Today, the inspector was not here..."
Seeing her lost appearance, Tang Daier whispered: "These days, it has been haze for days. The weather has changed unpredictably. Maybe it was because of the inspection disease? Or maybe it was because of a case in the south of the city that needs to be dealt with. Besides, he was just here to help maintain order. When there is a serious matter to be done, he should do it according to the serious matter."
Ling'er took out a small clay man from her sleeve in anger, which was dark. She said that she was pinching a patrolman, but she didn't look like a black slave on the other side of the sea. She beat the clay man and said to Tang Dai'er: "This guy has made me work hard to pinch clay man for two days, and I'm going to use it to piss him off. But I didn't come anymore... What a hateful guy!"
"If you don't come, don't give it to him!" Tang Daier took the little clay man, threw it into the stove, and said lightly: "It's useless to our Miss Lingsi's thoughts."
Seeing that the clay man was thrown in, Ling'er suddenly became anxious and stomped her feet and said, "Sister Dai'er, how could you throw it away..." Then she hurriedly pulled the tongs over and wanted to open the fire... Tang Dai'er smiled gently, let go of her tight right hand, and the clay man was in her hand. Dai'er laughed jokingly and said, "You can't try you yet? Some people say that if you don't see each other for three years, I guess you are talking about!"
"Sister Dai'er, you said, nothing happened to him, right?" Ling'er asked cautiously without bothering.
