Chapter 322 Bait
But the current situation, as the maid said, is too hot and there is nowhere to go.
Mrs. Zou thought for a long time and finally decided to follow the maid's advice, and the two of them walked back together.
But after getting off the carriage and taking two steps, Mrs. Zou suddenly frowned and asked, "What's that stinky smell?"
The maid also smelled the extremely foul smell and looked around hurriedly, and finally screamed, "Madam, your shoes are covered with dog shit!"
Not only was there dog shit on her shoes, but there was also a lot of it on her skirt, which was almost dragging on the ground, so the smell was unbearable.
Mrs. Zou's face turned pale, "Hurry, go home quickly."
As she spoke, Madam Zou pulled her maid towards home, but because they were walking in a hurry, she stumbled and fell straight down, landing heavily on the ground.
Suddenly, laughter rang out in the street...
…
In the following days, Mrs. Zou no longer came to visit, which further confirmed what Jiang Youcheng said. Mrs. Liu became more and more confident and became more and more disgusted with Mrs. Zou.
At the same time, she felt ashamed of having doubted Song Jingyun's character before, so she always planned to cook some delicious meals herself to reward Song Jingyun.
Chilled cold jelly, cold noodles with plenty of chili oil, fresh and delicious cold noodles with shredded chicken, delicious and filling roujiamo...
Song Jingyun didn't understand why, but he felt very happy because he had delicious home-cooked meals every day when he came home from work.
In the blink of an eye, it was already August.
Beginning of Autumn, End of Heat…
The weather in the morning and evening is no longer as hot as in summer, but has a little more of the coolness of autumn.
The drought has long since subsided, and crops everywhere are growing well. If this continues, there will definitely be a good harvest in the fall.
The prince was reading through the memorials submitted to him from various places. When he saw this one, he was in a very good mood, but when he saw the contents of the next memorial, his expression turned cold again.
This memorial was submitted by the King of Yue, stating that he could not attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet on August 15 due to poor health.
Since the drought, King Hai of Yue has not entered the capital, as he has been "ill". He has been recuperating in the palace and has never gone out, let alone entered the palace to report or meet the prince.
The prince was naturally very dissatisfied, but in the eyes of others, the King of Yue had made great contributions in providing disaster relief and should not be humiliated. Moreover, there was no conclusive evidence to prove that the previous rumors were done by the King of Yue, so there was no reason to hold him accountable.
At this time, the King of Yue pretended to be sick, and the prince was helpless. He could only angrily say, "This King of Yue is really cunning and treacherous. He is really hateful."
"Your Highness, please calm down." Song Jingyun said, "Does Your Highness know anything about yellow eels?"
Eel?
The prince was stunned for a moment, "It seems he knows."
I've never seen it alive, I've only eaten it, and it tastes pretty good.
"Eels usually stay in their holes and are very slippery, so it is very difficult to catch them, which often gives people a headache. However, experienced catchers are not impatient and will lure them out of the hole with bait before catching them in one fell swoop."
"you mean……"
The prince lowered his eyes slightly.
You have to wait, and wait patiently.
But bait is needed to lure the eels out of their holes. What is the bait that can make the King of Yue take action? The prince pondered. ——Since the beginning of autumn, Xun Yuanbai has become increasingly depressed.
