Chapter 317 His family is a slut
Ali's eyes widened, but if he thought about it carefully, it might be true.
After all, the military token is an important item, and the escort will not be announced to the world.
If it is a stupid fish that comes to bite the hook, it is possible that it will chase the wrong target and disturb the dragon.
Mu Yihan pondered for a moment, raised his head and asked, "Think back, on the day you left Beijing, were there any more eye-catching important people who set out with you?"
Seven or eight black-armored soldiers looked at each other in confusion, and suddenly remembered something, and nodded together.
"My Lord, this is true."
"That day, my subordinates set out in the morning, hoping to show off and attract the attention of the thieves behind us, but unexpectedly, a young man led seven or eight servants, very impressive, and also went out of the north gate with us."
"That young man was not only dressed in a flashy way, but also had a military order on his waist. He didn't talk too much and kept talking about Yuncheng all the way. He really attracted more attention than us." One of the black armored soldiers said awkwardly.
Mu Yihan frowned, "What, that man also has a military token on his waist? If he is not careful, he will really be mistaken."
"He is also coming to Yuncheng. Such a coincidence, do you know who he is?" He asked coldly.
The black armored soldiers thought about it.
One of them nodded suddenly, "I have some impression. They came from Qinglong Lane in the south of the city. They are surnamed Xiao, so they should be the branch of the late Weiyuan Marquis. Their family is engaged in business, and they have the most manors in the suburbs of Beijing!"
When the surname Xiao was mentioned, Mu Yihan immediately sneered.
Ali touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Oh, I know, it should be that Mr. Xiao Lanyi, who is the governor of Liaodongying and made meritorious deeds in Changbai City some time ago and was also named the Marquis of Guanwai."
Mu Yihan rubbed his eyebrows, and his handsome face moved, revealing a hint of disgust.
"So it's the Xiao family, no wonder." He snorted coldly, "The Xiao family is a slut in nature. Even if they are a branch, they are all like peacocks. They are so ostentatious that they have to show their military orders to the public, confusing the thieves and ruining my business."
Hearing the word "slut", the black-armored soldiers were stunned and their heads drooped even lower.
Ali was trying so hard to hold back his laughter that his liver hurt.
Speaking of which, the grievances between the Xiao and Mu families have a long history. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have loved and killed each other for hundreds of years.
To the Mu family, the Xiao family is a peacock that is conspicuous everywhere and strives to be the first in everything.
In the eyes of the Xiao family, the Mu family is a sophisticated, vicious and inhumane falcon.
However, thinking of the two great families that had once been extinct, Ah Li couldn't help but sigh and shook his head slightly.
Mu Yihan raised his eyes and brought the conversation back, "It's come to this. No matter what, this plan is no longer feasible."
"Ah Li, you can go around Yuncheng these two days to find out if there are any clues."
"As for the others, let's go back to Beijing first and wait for Duke Song's arrangements." Mu Yihan closed his eyes and leaned on the golden nanmu soft seat.
...
In the evening, the smoke from cooking in Daliu Village rose up, and the aroma of green glutinous rice floated from the head to the end of the village.
The villagers got this rare rice and watched it in the rice jar for three or four days before they finally cooked it and tasted it.
Farmers are used to being frugal, and no matter what good things they have, they will pay attention to the details and will not eat them right away.
Feng knew that Yin'er was going to visit her brother, so she packed ten catties of green glutinous rice, wrapped two pots of salted duck eggs, picked out two pieces of light blue fabric, and took them to her.
At home, Li Qiqiao was preparing dinner.
Li Qiqiao, wearing a light red skirt, was chopping pork legs, chicken legs, shrimps with the backs removed, and diced mushrooms. She followed the recipe given by Old Lady Xiao, and wanted to learn how to make tofu skin buns.
Speaking of which, she was very busy these two days. She got a recipe and treasured it, and she was thinking about it all the time.
Even when she went to bed at night, she would cover herself with this book. Jiang Fenghu would kick her if he approached.
Unfortunately, Li Qiqiao could not read, so she could only wait for Fengnian and Fengze to be free, or beg Fengmiao to read to her.
Fengmiao wanted to show off at first, and deliberately offered a "sky-high price" of two hundred coins for reading the last chapter.
As a result, after Fenghu poked her butt twice with a stove hook, she obediently listened to her second sister-in-law's orders.
At this time, Doctor Wu came out of the west room after taking Xiao Lanyi's pulse and changing a set of wound medicine.
When passing by this stove, Doctor Wu glanced at it with his eyes. His nose was comparable to that of rhubarb, and he couldn't help but smell it.
Li Qiqiao saw what he was thinking, pointed at the chopping board and smiled, "Don't be lazy now, I'm making tofu skin buns. I'll steam one pot today to try it out. If it tastes good, I'll steam two more pots tomorrow and send them to your Fushantang."
Doctor Wu swallowed his saliva, "What? You can make buns with tofu skin? This is the first time I've heard
of this." Li Qiqiao held the tofu skin in his left hand and stirred the stuffing with his right hand. "I just found out about this precious thing in the recipe. I heard it's a dish from Southern Province, Just to make stuffed meat, you need three or four kinds of meat, and you
need to pay attention to the detailed way of eating. "Doctor Wu was so greedy that he clapped his hands and applauded, "With your cooking skills, if you have a more complete recipe, you can make the dishes even better! Let's make a deal, I will wait for you at home tomorrow, you can't lie to me!"
The two of them were chatting and laughing in the outer room, and Xiao Nuobao was lying on the big kang in the inner room. The little idle guy simply opened the window halfway, turned up his belly, and gestured at the shape of the burning clouds in the sky.
The sun was setting in the west, and soon, Jiang Fengze came back from the city.
As soon as he entered the house, he told the whole family the joke about the Xu family that he learned when distributing porridge.
Hearing that Xu Xinglai had lost face, the Feng family clapped their hands, finally letting out their anger.
Jiang Fenghu shook his fist and laughed, "This is a good idea. His family is a business, and now their reputation has been ruined. Who will patronize his family in the future?"
Jiang Fengze nodded vigorously, but was a little puzzled, "Not only that, I heard that he was struck by lightning and is now frightened at home. The Xu family has invited three doctors to come this afternoon."
"Struck by lightning?" Feng hesitated.
"The people in the city say that this is a punishment from heaven. They think God has eyes." Jiang Fengze said half-believingly.
Feng looked stunned.
The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, with no clouds or rain. Where did the thunder come from?
She seemed to remember something, her eyes widened, and she quickly opened the curtain to look at the lady in the room.
At this moment, Xiao Nuobao heard the voices in the outer room, and was patting her belly and giggling, laughing.
But when she saw her mother looking at her, she pretended to know nothing, playing with the quilt for a while, coaxing Chun Ge'er for a while, "busy" like a little top.
It is said that when people are embarrassed, they will find something to do. Feng Shi could see that the cat was bored, so she went into the house and closed the door angrily, and tapped the lady's head.
"Mother doesn't know how you did it, but you dared to do such a scary thing. What if you arouse suspicion?" She came over in a low voice.
Little Nuobao avoided his mother's sight, blinked his big eyes, and pretended to be stupid.
Seeing that Feng was going to nag again, she quickly pointed at her mouth and asked aggrievedly, "Ah, mother, Nuobao is hungry, why don't you eat yet?"
Feng snorted, how could she not know that she was trying to change the subject.
But although she complained, her body was disobedient and went to get snacks for the lady.
Little Nuobao held a sesame cake as big as his face, and sat on the edge of the kang with a smile, swinging his feet and chewing it.
