Chapter 304 Spicy Chicken (6)

Before Madam Hou could approach, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and first a pair of four or five-year-old children jumped out, and then a young couple, who seemed to be the children's parents. After touching the heads of the two children, the young couple took the children's hands and walked to the carriage nearby, and helped the people in the carriage out.

The first person to come out was a middle-aged woman, about the same age as Mrs. Hou, but her face was much haggard than that of Mrs. Hou, whose husband and wife were smooth and harmonious.

After the middle-aged woman got off the carriage, she quickly turned around and helped out the last gray-haired old woman in the carriage.

Lin Fei followed Mrs. Hou and looked at the guests of Jingyun Hou Mansion. When he saw the gray-haired old woman, he was a little surprised.

In fact, from the previous letters, he could guess the identities of these people without Mrs. Hou's introduction. The gray-haired old woman must be Mrs. Lu who saved Mrs. Hou back then. She is quite haggard with Mrs. Hou. This woman must be Mrs. Lu’s daughter. That young couple must be the son and daughter-in-law born to Mrs. Lu's daughter, that is, Mrs. Lu's grandson and grandson-in-law. The younger children are the children of the grandson and grandson-in-law.

Among these people, even though Mrs. Lu's hair has long been gray and she is the oldest, she is probably a "beauty that never fails over time". Because of her outstanding grace, compared with her daughters, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren, she is actually The most outstanding among them.

From Mrs. Lu's current appearance, we can vaguely see some of her youthful splendor, and she must be a rare beauty.

After helping Mrs. Lu get off the carriage, the family turned around and walked over to Mrs. Hou and Lin Fei.

After some polite greetings, Mrs. Hou took the initiative to help the gray-haired Mrs. Lu, and started chatting while walking: "If it hadn't been for Madam, I would have been lost in Sichuan."

Mrs. Lu patted Mrs. Hou's hand and looked at Mrs. Hou with a very gentle look: "Back then, the second young lady was as old as my family, and she had such a pretty face. I don't know how those people were so cruel. His heart wants to drive people to death!"

Mrs. Hou was the second in the family when she was not married. She had known her since she was young, so it was not surprising to call her the second young lady.

Madam Hou's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she said to Madam Lu: "At that time, Madam was the only one who saved me. Niang Qian accompanied me to study and made medicine for me!"

When "Qian Niang" was mentioned, the middle-aged woman with a somewhat haggard face showed a smile. She looked at Mrs. Zheng and said, "Qian Niang also likes the second young lady. The second young lady is very kind-hearted and taught Qian Mother has many things.”

The direct daughter of the Zheng family has been exposed to and learned things since she was a child that are not comparable to ordinary women. She has indeed learned a lot from Miss Zheng.

It's a pity that people can't stay young forever. Looking at the haggard look on Qian Niang's face, Mrs. Hou didn't say anything, just stretched out her hand to hug her: her husband's family decided to divorce and returned with her son. By Mrs. Lu's side, the mother and daughter raised their son (grandson), and now the hardships are finally over.

Without mentioning the past, Mrs. Hou glanced at Lin Fei, who was as quiet as if he didn't exist after the greetings, and said: "That's it! I'll leave you here and you can't speak. It's better to go back to your Dali Temple." Go!"

When Lin Fei heard this, he was not polite. He immediately raised his hand, said "Thank you, mother!" and left.

He walked so fast that Mrs. Hou shook her head helplessly. Fortunately, Mrs. Lu and others on the side didn't take it seriously. After all, Mrs. Hou had already mentioned the second son's temper in the letter.

It's just that several people were a little surprised that Lin Fei took up the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

"The Yamen is not easy to hear," Mrs. Lu looked at Lin Fei's leaving figure and said, "Why did you go to the Yamen?"

Mrs. Hou said helplessly: "He likes it, but there is nothing we can do about it."

Madam Lu nodded, withdrew her gaze, and returned to the carriage with Madam Hou, heading towards Jingyun Hou's Mansion.

…

…

In the public kitchen, Wen Mingtang was still puzzled.

"Since the guest has arrived today, he will be waiting for the guests today. How can it be arranged for a few days before the reception banquet?"

"Those guests who have been living in the nunnery for a long time have to eat vegetarian food for a few days, and then they can eat meat once." Liu Yuan said, tutted his lips, couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Like I'm waiting for you. Such a person who enjoys nothing but meat is not suitable for spiritual practice. It would be really uncomfortable not to eat meat for a whole meal!"

When Wen Mingtang heard this, he smiled and lowered his head to look at the menu in his hand: the contents on the menu were very detailed, as well as the ingredients and methods used, which showed that Master Xing was a meticulous person.

After knowing what was going on, he handed the menu back to Liu Yuan, who was already chatting with Ji Caimai and others about the case.

"Is there any progress? There's really no progress!" Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "But I visited the market these days and was scared to death by the rumors in the market."

And such things? The glutinous rice balls, which were peeling sugar and frying chestnuts, were eating delicious glutinous rice balls and quickly turned to look at Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuandao: "Because Feng Shiling's body was cut into pieces and was related to the butcher, people in the market spread rumors that Hu Siming killed Feng Shiling and sold his body to The bun shop that makes meat buns is now being sold into meat buns.”

The delicious glutinous rice balls that were eating fried chestnuts with sugar suddenly became excited when he heard this, and his face turned pale: "My dad also bought meat buns for a late night snack last night. He said they were sold cheaply by the bun shop. Buy one." Get one for free, I...I even ate one!" At this point, Tang Yuan subconsciously covered his mouth. Thinking of the meat bun he ate in the middle of the night last night, he suddenly felt acidic water starting to come out of his stomach, and he felt nauseated. impulse.

Hearing this, Liu Yuan glanced at the glutinous rice balls that were about to spit out, and said, "Are you stupid? Feng Shiling's body has been pieced together completely, but you still forgot about it?"

Tang Yuan said "Oh", remembering this incident, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, there were so many people talking in the market that I didn't know where the news came from. Several bun shops were unable to sell their meat buns, so they had to buy one and get one free." Liu Yuan said, "Old Yuan should just watch. I bought it cheap, so it doesn’t matter.”

This time the rumors must be false, Liu Yuan knew it in his heart, but...

"This is not the first time that rumors of killing people and making them into meat buns have appeared." Liu Yuan said, "I heard that there were rumors that butchers killed people and sold them to meat bun shops to make meat buns many years ago."

Compared with the exclamations of Tang Yuan, Ah Bing and others, Wen Mingtang was speechless: the rumors of these kinds of human meat buns really existed in ancient and modern times!

"I don't know how old the rumor was. It was said that someone bribed the butcher and joined forces to murder a wealthy merchant couple. In order not to be discovered, Liu Yuan said and gestured to everyone to wipe his neck. He moved and said, "The butcher is related to these rumors!"

It's just that he was as timid as glutinous rice balls and was frightened again. Liu Yuan paused and continued quickly: "But I have asked the clerks who manage the files in the warehouse about this matter. I have never heard of it in the past thirty or forty years. Such a case is probably just a rumor in the market."
