Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 211
After leaving the bird market, the two separated. Wen Shu carried her things and hurried home. When she got home, her father, Wen Tai, was sitting on a stone table in the yard eating noodles.

Seeing this, Wen Shu hurried over with the roasted pork, and said cheerfully, "Father, look what I brought you."

"What?" Father Wen turned his head with a smile.

"Roasted pork, from Daxiangguo Temple, I'll come all the way here, it should still be hot, you can try it."

Father Wen nodded, picked up a piece of roasted pork, and asked, "Have you eaten it?"

"Well, I ate with Miss Chu Si." Wen Shu answered while looking in the direction of the door.

The window lattice was half-supported, looking in from the outside, there was no figure of the fat-stealing bird, so he couldn't help asking: "Father, where is Hong Ying, still asleep."

"That's right, I haven't seen it come out this early in the morning."

Thinking of the voice she heard just now, Wen Shu felt a little uneasy, "I'll go and have a look." She strode towards the room as she spoke.

After a while, she suddenly jumped out of the room, "Father, I'm going out for a while."

"Hey, where are you going after you just came back? You still have class after noon, so don't delay."

Before he finished speaking, the person in front of him was blown out of the yard like a gust of wind.

"This child..." Father Wen shook his head helplessly,

Half a quarter of an hour later, Pozi Lane in the south of the city.

"Miss Si, there is a young lady Wen outside the door asking to see her, saying that there is something urgent."

Miss Chu Si, who had just returned to the house and hadn't even had a cup of tea, couldn't help being surprised when she heard what the servant said.

Well, didn't Wen Shu say that he has class in the afternoon?
With a stomach full of doubts, Miss Chu and the concierge went to the gate.

After a while, she had just walked to the door, and before she could ask any questions, Wen Shu outside had already stepped forward and said anxiously: "I have something to ask Miss Si for help." "

Seeing that she was solemn and anxious, Miss Chu Si swallowed what she wanted to joke.

A quarter of an hour later, outside the west wall of Prime Minister Qin's Mansion.

"How's it going, did you hear that?" Chu Hong wandered around and asked Wen Shu, who had his ear on the wall, sideways.

"No." After a while, Wen Shu straightened up, a little frustrated.

Could it be that she got it wrong.

Chu Hong smiled and said, "I'll just say, what a coincidence, where your bird was supposed to fly to play, and it will go home in a while."

Wen Shu didn't answer, and after pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said, "I should have heard right, I want to go to the east again."

"Come on."

The two of them walked around the wall of Xiangfu's mansion, and came to the east. Inside the tall bluestone courtyard wall, there were ancient locust trees with a canopy, half of their branches stretched out, and the luxuriant branches and leaves cast a large shadow outside the wall.

Wen Shu stood in the shadow, listening carefully to the movements in the courtyard.

Cicadas chirping and birds chirping, there were faint voices coming from the courtyard, because the speaker lowered his voice, coupled with the barrier of the tall fence, Wen Shu couldn't hear it very clearly, only faintly heard the words "cousin girl, son" and so on. .

He didn't hear the voice he wanted to hear, and he wasn't interested in the privacy of the high-walled compound. Wen Shu stood there for a moment, then waved to Miss Chu Si, indicating that he could leave.

However, when the two turned around, there was a sudden scream from inside the high wall, and then a female voice said sharply: "Well, you flat-haired bastard, how dare you peck the cousin girl, come here, hit me!"

As the words fell, a mournful bird song came from the courtyard, and Wen Shu stopped immediately.

No, it's Hongying!

She suddenly turned around and looked up at the tall bluestone courtyard wall.

Miss Chu Si also heard the sharp birdsong, her expression changed, and she asked, "Really?"

After De Wenshu's affirmation, he changed into a worried expression, "It's really true, it's over, this is the prime minister's mansion, how can you, a commoner, get in."

"If you can't go in, you have to go in!"

The miserable howl of the fat-stealing bird continued inside, and a sound passed through Wen Shu like a sharp arrow. She was anxious and angry, and turned to Chu Hong and said, "Fourth Miss, please help me."

"You want to climb over the wall, you can't, you can't, or wait until I go to the Hou's mansion to move the rescuers."

"That's too late!"

The shrill screams in the courtyard have not stopped since just now. Wen Shu couldn't imagine how the fat-stealing bird was abused inside. She looked at Chu Hong almost pleadingly.

"I really can't do anything about you." In the end she couldn't help her, Miss Chu Si hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down at the base of the wall.

"Thank you." Wen Shu didn't say too much politeness. After thanking her, he raised his foot and stepped on her back. Then he supported the wall with both hands, and quickly moved his feet to his shoulders.

Suddenly a person stood on her body. Although Wen Shu was not heavy, Miss Chu Si, who had no martial arts skills and only ordinary strength, swayed immediately.

Wen Shu hurriedly clasped the wall, "Miss Si, can you hold on?"

"It's okay, you just hold on tight." After finishing speaking, Fourth Miss Chu held back all her strength, supported the wall with both hands, and slowly straightened up with all her strength.

"Thank you." Wen Shu knew that this move was difficult for her, but the situation was urgent, and she couldn't allow her to think too much or retreat, but she had secretly remembered this feeling in her heart.

As Miss Chu's body rose higher and higher, Wen Shu's arms kept reaching up, and it seemed that she was still a foot short.

"Are you ready?" Chu Hong's pretty face was flushed, and the words she asked were trembling.

"It's almost there."

Upon hearing this, Fourth Miss Chu gritted her teeth again, allowing herself to lift her heels slightly.

Wen Shu looked at the exact moment, and at the moment when she was thinking about her feet, she jumped up with all her strength, and clasped her hands on the top of the wall.

On the top of the wall, there were sharp broken tiles to prevent thieves, and they pierced into her palm accurately. She gasped in pain, but didn't dare to let go.

Miss Chu Si couldn't hold on anymore, and no one gave her another chance to start over.

"who!"

She just showed her head here, so a maid in the courtyard found out. She stared at Wen Shu who had climbed over the wall, and sternly scolded.

"Fourth Miss, I'm begging you!" After saying this, Wen Shu endured the pain and stepped on the wall with both feet, and with that momentum, he rolled over from above.

"Don't worry, I'll go right away." Miss Chu Si who fell to the ground got up, patted the ashes off her body, and ran out of the alley.

"Come here, there are thieves, there are thieves in!"

Jumping off the ten-foot-high courtyard wall, Wen Shu only felt a pain in his ankle, and it was over, and he twisted again.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the prime minister's residence in broad daylight!"

The maid holding scissors to trim the flower branches raised the scissors in her hand and pointed them at her. Wen Shu didn't have time to pay attention to her, and looked straight at the fat-stealing bird squatting on the ground in the courtyard, with one wing covering its head, and his chest was full of anger. was ignited at once.

She limped, stepped forward a few steps, pushed away the boy holding the whip, then squatted down, and hugged the fat-stealing bird in her arms.

This sudden situation not only stunned the maids and servants, but also Wang Qiaoqian who stood under the eaves and stood with her hands covered.

How did she come!

Wen Shu's sudden appearance was like a bolt from the blue to her, but what was frightening was the sound of guards' footsteps and aunt's calling from outside the courtyard.

"Where is the thief?"

"Qiao girl, are you okay?"

Before the words were finished, a group of servants with sticks rushed over, followed by Mrs. Qin Wang, surrounded by maidservants.
