Chapter 547 Unrest
Three days later, Qiu Niang was the first to get into trouble.
Qiu Niang knew that Zhu Huai was really unwilling to take her with him to explore the treasures of the Great Zhou.
That was a very dangerous thing, and only Tu Mi could be of help.
She is only good at cooking and medicine.
Therefore, she is researching how to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall into canned food so that Zhu Huaizhen can carry some with him.
As a result, she went out to buy food and encountered a murder case, and was detained in the government office for questioning.
According to the laws of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, if the government believed that someone was suspicious, they could interrogate him for two days and two nights.
When Tu Mi heard about this, he wanted to break into the government office and bring Qiu Niang back.
Zhu Huaizhen thought about it and did not stop.
"Your Highness, I won't go. Qiu Niang can hold on for two days and two nights." Tu Mi thought for a long time and felt a little discouraged.
"Tu Mi, you go. Qiu Niang is as beautiful as a flower." Zhu Huaizhen shook his head slightly.
After hearing this, Tu Mi immediately became angry and rushed over quickly.
Then, Zhu Huaizhen lay sideways on the beauty couch surrounded by lacquered and gold-painted scrolls of poetry and paintings, waving a round fan with a mahogany handle embroidered with pomegranates, cats and butterflies on a silk surface, and continued to listen to "Peach Blossom Fan" with a lazy posture like a Persian cat.
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
"Zhen'er, don't worry, I will always protect you and promise not to do anything wrong." Lou Li held Zhu Huaizhen's hand and said softly.
Zhu Huai really wanted to curl his lips and roll his eyes.
But she can't.
In fact, if nothing happened to Lou Li, it would be difficult for Zhu Huaizhen to compromise.
So Zhu Huaizhen and Lou Li waited and waited until dusk.
Surprisingly, the senior palace maid of Empress Du came to visit.
"Let her wait, I want to eat crabs." Zhu Huaizhen said angrily.
Lou Li suggested that since they would have no time to eat crabs while searching for the treasure of the Great Zhou, it would be better for them to peel crabs for Zhu Huaizhen.
Lou Li was jealous because Chen Mingan had peeled crabs for Zhu Huaizhen several times.
There are crystal crabs, which have a snow-white appearance, almost transparent in color, and have tender white meat that is sweet, fine and smooth.
There are Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, which are clean and free of mud, with green shells, white bellies, golden claws and yellow hairs, and greasy meat.
There is the Yangjiang red flower crab, which has a light red shell, six-spined frontal horns, and sweet and plump meat.
There is the Zhoushan swimming crab, whose cephalothorax is spindle-shaped, and whose body is large, meaty, and fat.
There is the Dongyi red-haired crab, which is bright red in color, has a beautiful shape, firm meat, and a fragrant smell of the sea.
There are stone crabs, which come in golden, scarlet, and cobalt blue, and are meaty and sweet.
There are red-haired crabs, which can be cooked in salt water. The crab meat is plump, rich in crab flavor, and very delicious.
Lou Li first grasped a pair of round-headed scissors, snipping off the crab claws and legs one by one. His movements were as smooth and efficient as sweeping the fragrance of pear blossoms from a doorway. Then, he grasped a waist-shaped hammer, located four points on the crab shell, and struck them in a circle, his movements as casual as picking up a red pomegranate. He then weighed a long-handled axe and delicately split the carapace and belly button. He then took up a pick, tweezers, a fork, and a hammer, picking, pinching, forking, and hammering, extracting the golden, shiny crab roe and the snow-white, tender crab meat. His movements were as smooth and effortless as if he had plucked the heartstrings of a fox demon.
When Zhu Huaizhen had eaten and drunk his fill, the senior palace maid beside Queen Du stormed out.
Tsk tsk, you really can’t keep your cool.
However, the senior palace maid left a message, saying that she wanted to rescue Tu Mi and Qiu Niang, and got Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen to compromise.
