Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 204

Wen Shu doesn't care whether they believe it or not, anyway, it's fine if it makes sense on the surface.

After the story is finished, the bath water prepared over there is ready. Because she ordered a four-item set this time, there is still a layer of petals in the bath water.

In addition to the fragrant bath, the four items also include back rubbing, hair combing and face shaving, so as soon as she got into the bathtub, Aunt Zhang came in with something and planned to rub her back.

Wen Shu blushed rarely, not because of anything else, but because she hadn't showered for a month, so she didn't need to think about how dirty her back was.

However, she couldn't wash this kind of place on her back without others' help, so she could only suppress her blush and let Aunt Zhang rub it.

Here, Aunt Zhang arranged things, just picked up the towel to wipe her back, but when she saw the birthmark on her neck, she suddenly stopped.

It was her!

She said why the birthmark painted on the reward list looked so familiar, but at the time, no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't remember where she had seen it, and it turned out to be Miss Wen.

Aunt Zhang stared blankly at the birthmark, carefully comparing it with the reward list in her mind.

Like, so much like!After a moment she came to a conclusion.

"Aunt Zhang? What's the matter, is my back too dirty?"

"Oh, no, it's the towel that doesn't fit. I'll change it for the young lady." Aunt Zhang replied while peeking at Wen Shu's expression.

After a long while, she tentatively asked: "Little lady just came back today, I'm afraid she still doesn't know about the Xiangfu posting the list."

"The Prime Minister's Mansion makes a list, which Prime Minister's Mansion? What does the Prime Minister's Mansion do?"

"Qin Prime Minister's Mansion, that's the one." Aunt Zhang said this, her voice slightly lowered, "Qin thief. Zhang Bang is looking for a daughter. It is said that a daughter was accidentally lost 17 years ago. Anyone who provides useful clues will be rewarded with money." Fifty strings."

"Fifty guan, that's a lot!" Wen Shu was always very interested when everything was linked to money, "What did the list say, and what marks did the missing daughter of the prime minister have on her body?"

"Yes, there is a picture on the list, which says it is the birthmark on the daughter of the Xiangfu. As long as there is this birthmark, and the age is right, you can go to the Xiangfu to verify your body. Once verified, it will really fly on the branch and become a phoenix. gone."

"That's not true, by the way, it must have been very lively in Tokyo during that time." Wen Shu asked gleefully.

"Needless to say, how many little ladies hope to have such a birthmark on their bodies so that they can enjoy the glory and wealth. It's a pity that they don't have that life, but I see that the birthmark on the little lady is very similar to that one. Why don't you also Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a while, maybe it's you."

"Auntie, don't be joking. I have a father and a mother. How can I be the lost daughter of the Xiangfu. Besides, the list is not exhaustive. It is a child who was lost 17 years ago. How can I find it now? Here is what it says Maybe something happened."

"Whatever happens to him, as long as the title of daughter of the Xiangfu is solid, there are many benefits, not to mention good food and drink, even if you marry in the future, you can choose a high-ranking child, and the little lady is not tempted."

Wen Shu shook her head, "I'm just an ordinary business woman. I can open a teahouse in this life and save some dowry for myself. I don't dare to dream like a daughter of a prime minister."

"Oh, it's up to you how to say this kind of thing. Anyway, I think the birthmark of the little lady looks very similar. If you can recognize Qin Xiang as your father, it will be a good thing from the sky."

Wen Shu still shook his head.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhang scolded her inwardly for being stupid, and at the same time lamented that Miss Wen would have come out two days earlier, but now that the reward list has been withdrawn, she can't get the reward even if she wants to report the letter.

Half an hour later, Wen Shu, who had done all four sets, left the door of Muxiang Pavilion refreshingly. As soon as she left, Aunt Zhang grabbed Niangzi Tong to chat.

After hearing her words, Mrs. Tong was full of surprise: "Really, fake, sister-in-law, right? How could it be Mrs. Wen?"

"It's not wrong, I really see it, it's exactly the same."

"Then you told Miss Wen? What did she say?"

"I said it, but she didn't care at all. She just said that she has a father and a mother, so she can't be the daughter of the Xiangfu. She is really stupid. No matter whether it is or not, there is a lot to go there. If it is true, this What a benefit, I still say that she is clever on weekdays."

Seeing the money slipping past her, Aunt Zhang was not angry.

Tong Niangzi understood Wen Shu, "This is also human nature. After all, she grew up with Shopkeeper Wen, so she would not believe someone just a few words."

"Hey, it would be great if there were two more days on the reward list, but I gave it yesterday, otherwise I will go to the gate of the palace to receive the reward."

Aunt Zhang was aggrieved, while Wen Shu had already returned home. After putting down her burden, she and Father Wen left the yard together and headed for the Wang family's tea shop on the street.

The so-called tea distribution means that the store prepares the dishes and snacks in advance. After customers go, they can directly order and eat without waiting. It is convenient and fast. It has always been the first choice of Bianhe boatmen.

Father Wen was happy that his daughter had returned safely, so he ate extra generously this evening, such as batch-cut mutton, crystal fried pork, winter moon pan rabbit, roasted pork skin, ginger spicy radish, and Xiayue sesame tofu.

There are so many things, and they ordered seven or eight dishes before they stopped.

During the month in the world of mountains and seas, Wen Shu's food was poor. At the beginning, he didn't even have any salt. Every day, besides eating bland barbecue, he drank stream water.

Although I met the three brothers of the Guo family later, the situation did not change much. Except that the meat tasted salty, nothing else changed.

Looking at the assortment of dishes with all kinds of flavors and colors, Wen Shu suddenly felt a sense of happiness like a mouse falling into a rice bowl.

"Eat this, the new dish in the store, I heard it's very good." Father Wen gave Wen Shu a piece of Xiayue Mofu.

"Father eats too." Wen Shu also took a piece for him.

The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, a kind of tenderness flowing between them.

There are people chatting at the big round table next to them,
"Hey, there was a big fire in the south of the city in the afternoon. Fortunately, it was extinguished in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"No, I was shocked when I saw it from a distance. I heard that it almost burned into Miyagi. Fortunately, it was finally extinguished. But such a big fire must have killed many people."

"I know that." A man in a robe at the next table interrupted after hearing the words: "I happened to go to the south of the city to do some business in the next afternoon, and I witnessed the fire with my own eyes. Do you know how the fire was put out?"

"I don't know if the submerged fire team extinguished it, and I don't know which adult has a good leader?"

"What, you won't believe me if you tell me, what kind of adult has a good leader, the one who put out the fire was a bird, a red owl."

"bird?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was stunned.Including Wen Shu and her father.

The difference is that others do it because they don't believe it, while they do it because they believe it.

It turned out that Xiachen Hongying went to the south of the city to fight the fire, and from what they said just now, the fire was not small, could it be that it was so weak after returning.

The father and daughter looked at each other and understood.

"Brother, let's make a joke, how do birds put out fires?"

"That's right, if you don't want to say it, forget it, use a bird to deceive people, and pretend that we are all fools."

"Oh, I am wronged. If you don't believe me, you can ask your relatives and friends in the south of the city. I am not the only one who saw the scene. You can find out after a little inquiry."

"I can testify." The man's voice just fell.A guest near the window then said: "I saw it too. It is indeed an owl bird. It is red and bigger than ordinary owls." "

Hearing this, everyone immediately talked about it.

"There really are birds that can put out fires."

"I saw it with my own eyes, and I heard that the officials have also seen it, and they are ordering the entire city to search. Whoever finds the divine bird first will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."

"It's true or not, then I have to look for it."

Hearing the sound, the father and daughter in the corner frowned at the same time.
