Adorable Food Goddess

Ye Jiayao left after helping to prepare the dishes. She didn't dare to stay here for a long time. If Jin Rong came to the door after knowing that she was not dead, she must be killed.

Coming out of the alley at the back door, a group of people surrounded by a sedan chair passed by, almost collided, Ye Jiayao hurriedly retreated to the wall.

Nima, the official family travels with great style.

After the team passed by, the streets became bustling again, and Ye Jiayao mixed into the crowd and disappeared quickly.

The sedan chair stopped in front of the gate of the Wei Mansion, and the guard stepped forward: "My lord, the Wei Mansion is here."

Xia Chunyu lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and got out of the sedan chair. He looked up at the gilt plaque with a black background hanging on the gate, and the two big characters "Wei Mansion" were shining brightly in the sunlight.

Originally, he was going back to the capital after dealing with the affairs here, but he felt that it was necessary to come to Wei Mansion.

Li Tie, who is next to the second master Shengwu, confessed that Yaoyao was hijacked up the mountain because someone offered three thousand taels of silver to Heifenggang to do the business. Get benefits? If the Wei family can't find it, go back to Yangzhou to check, Yaoyao is gone, and this is the only thing he can do for her.

Wei Zhifu was quite surprised when he got the news, but he didn't dare to be sloppy and rushed out to greet him.

"I don't know that Master Yunhui is here. I am disappointed and welcome, but I hope to forgive my sins." Wei Zhifu's attitude is enthusiastic and a little humble. Although the official ranks of the prefect and Yunhui are both fourth-rank, but one is a Beijing official, belonging to Luan Yiwei, who works by the emperor's side, and one is a foreign official, is in charge of one party's government affairs. It is self-evident that the high and low ranks among them are self-evident, and this envoy Yunhui is the son of Jing'an Hou, and his status is more noble than others, so he naturally Don't dare to be too big.

Xia Chunyu smiled lightly: "Passing by here, I'm here to visit, sorry for the trouble."

"Why do you bother to talk about it? The arrival of the Yunhui envoy is full of brilliance, which is what I wished for." Wei Zhifu laughed.

The two exchanged greetings and walked in.

After Xia Chunyu was invited to take his seat, the prefect Wei ordered his servants to prepare the food and drinks in a low voice: "Let the eldest and young mistress make up your mind on what to prepare, Mr. Yunhui is from Jinling."

Xia Chunyu's ear is very good, and he didn't catch a word of these words. Surprised in his heart, the elder mistress turned out to belong to Yaoyao. Before he came, he expected that the Wei family would have two strategies to deal with the kidnapping of the bride. , only when the Ye family never sent their relatives over.

However, it is estimated that the second strategy is a bit difficult to implement. Under normal circumstances, the bride can reach Jinan Mansion in two days' journey, and she is here in time for the wedding day. The wedding invitation must have been sent out long ago, and she suddenly said to cancel , would be suspicious. Therefore, the possibility of the first strategy is relatively high.

But he didn't expect that the person who topped the bag would also be a southerner, otherwise the prefect of Wei would not let the young lady make up her mind.

Wei Zhifu ordered his servants, turned around and asked, "Is your lord coming to Jinan for business?"

Xia Chun said in his heart: Of course it is on business, I have still stayed on Heifenggang for more than half a year! But this matter is classified as a first-class secret, and even his family does not know that he has come to Shandong. Now that the work is done, there is no need to hide it. By the way, he tested Wei Zhifu and said: "This time I came here for Heifenggang."

Sure enough, a strange look flashed in Wei Zhifu's eyes, and he said immediately: "Prince Helian showed great power, knocked down the Black Wind Hill in one fell swoop, and restored the peace of the land of Qilu. The contribution is in the country, which is admirable."

"It's natural. The Holy Majesty is far away in Jinling, but he is always worried about the rampant bandits in Lu. He sent troops to encircle and suppress them several times but all failed. This time, Prince Helian personally went out to relieve the Holy Majesty's worries." Xia Xia When Chunyu mentioned the Holy Majesty, his expression was extremely respectful.

"That's that, I don't know when Lord Helian will come to Jinan? I will definitely thank the Lord on behalf of the people in Shandong." Wei Zhifu smiled flatteringly. Prince Helian is a great Buddha. If we can take this opportunity to make friends, we will really It was a great fortune, so I became more and more humble, and called myself an official.

Xia Chunyu smiled slightly: "My lord has already escorted the Heifeng gangsters to go back to Beijing first to return to their orders. I will convey your lord's wishes on your behalf."

The prefect of Wei showed a regretful expression, but after thinking about it, it is not bad to have a good relationship with envoy Yunhui, which is equivalent to establishing friendship with the Houfu of Jing'an, not to mention the Marquis of Jing'an, even envoy Yunhui himself is a A person worthy of friendship, although he is in Jinan, he knows that this envoy Yunhui is a leader among the children of the princes of the capital, and his future is limitless. Liu Jiang is about to go to Jinling to take part in the examination. If he wins in one fell swoop, he intends to find a job for Liu Jiang in the capital. If Liu Jiang can make a friend as Yun Huishi, it will be of great help.

He said: "Thank you so much, sir. I don't know how long you can stay in Jinan? Or let the lower officials do their best as landlords."

Xia Chunyu smiled, and instead of answering Wei Zhifu's question, he looked around and said, "I came in all the way, and saw that the mansion was full of joy, but is there a happy event?"

Wei Zhifu smiled and said, "The eldest son just got married last month."

Xia Chunyu said unexpectedly: "Really? I should have sent a congratulatory gift if I knew it earlier."

Wei Zhifu laughed: "My lord, you are welcome."

"It should be, it should be, but there are not many things that can be bought when I go out, I will make up for it when I return to Beijing." Xia cChun said with a smile, and asked: "I don't know which family's daughter you are marrying?"

"It's the daughter of my family friend Yangzhou Tong Zhi Ye, who is married with his fingertips."

Xia Chunyu said calmly: "But Miss Ye family?"

Wei Zhifu was secretly startled: "How did your lord know?"

Xia Chunyu smiled lightly: "To tell you the truth, today I was entrusted by someone to come to the door to verify something."

The prefect of Wei was in a state of turmoil in his heart, very anxious, with a sense of ominous premonition.

"I don't know what it is, please tell me, my lord?"

Xia Chunyu picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, then said slowly: "This time I broke through Heifenggang, I met a woman who claimed to be the eldest daughter of the Ye family, the daughter-in-law of the Wei family who has never been married."

Wei Zhifu's mind was pounding, his scalp was numb, he had been worried about this matter for a long time, and the bridal chamber night just realized that it was not the Ye family's eldest lady who married, but the Ye family's second lady, the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Wei family was sending off her relatives He was hijacked by bandits from Heifenggang on the road, and when the news got out, the Wei family lost all face, and it happened that the second young lady of the Ye family accompanied her and married her, which solved the crisis of the two families, so no wonder she was there.

I thought this matter could be concealed from the sky, but who knew that Heifenggang was taken away so quickly, and envoy Yunhui also met Miss Ye, and now came to the door to verify.

It's just that the matter is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed, even if it is wrong, it will continue to be wrong.

Wei Zhifu braced himself and said with a sneer: "Your Excellency, you are joking. Miss Ye married Quan Zi last month. Can we still admit the wrong person? It must be the excuse that the female bandit made to deceive Your Excellency in order to escape the crime."

"Really?" Xia Chunyu sneered imperceptibly.

Wei Zhifu nodded with great certainty: "This is absolutely impossible."

Xia Chunyu smiled and said: "Since it's not good, I don't really believe it. If the daughter-in-law who has never been married to the Wei family is really kidnapped, how can my lord remain indifferent?"

Wei Zhifu's back was dripping with cold sweat, he nodded again and again and said righteously: "That's it, that's it, if it really happened, how can the lower officials let it go."

"This woman is too hateful. She actually made up such a lie to ruin the reputation of my Wei family. Please, sir, hand this woman over to me. I will investigate."

The prefect of Wei wanted to get the person to the Wei family first, so she couldn't be allowed to talk nonsense outside.

Xia Chunyu was furious in his heart, he had already guessed that the Wei family would not admit it, but he did not expect that his attitude would be so decisive, not to mention that Yaoyao is not here now, even if he is here, he will definitely not hand over her to let you destroy the corpse what? In your eyes, Qingyu is more important than human life, but what is Yaoyao's fault?

"My lord's request, I'm sorry I can't agree to it." Xia cChunyu said holding back his anger.

Wei Zhifu's heart shuddered, and he couldn't figure out what envoy Yun Hui was thinking.

"My lord, this matter is related to the reputation of the Wei family..."

Xia Chunyu raised his hand and said: "Your Excellency, you are too worried. In fact, the woman died in the chaos. This officer is just out of caution, so I came here to ask."

Wei Zhifu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he felt a little regretful, after all, he had held the child when he was still in his infancy, but compared to the current predicament, he had to sigh, this is the best. A woman who stayed in the bandit's lair and lost her virginity, how can she survive in this world? She can only blame herself for her poor fortune.

The servants came to pass word that lunch was ready.

"Preparing a little bouillon is not a respect, please take your seat..." Wei Zhifu said politely.

Xia Chunyu clasped his fists and said: "Your Excellency, you are being polite, but I still have important matters to attend to, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time. Now that the matter has been clarified, I will take my leave."

He doesn't bother to eat with such hypocritical people, he will suffer from indigestion, nausea and vomiting.

"Your Excellency is not in a hurry to leave at this moment..." Wei Zhifu asked to stay.

"We'll be later." Xia cChun hurriedly said goodbye, there was no need to stay. To find out who the so-called Miss Ye who is currently in the Wei Mansion is, there must be a way, and when he thoroughly investigates, he must seek justice for Yaoyao.

After sending Xia Chunyu away, Wei Zhifu ordered someone to call the eldest son Wei Liujiang to the study.

"Miss Yunhui came to visit just now, and mentioned Miss Ye family, claiming to have seen her in Heifenggang." Wei Zhifu said.

Wei Liujiang was shocked: "Father, what should I do?"

Wei Zhifu looked cold, raised his hand and said: "Don't panic, I believe that the Ye family and our Wei family have the same position on this matter, besides, Ye Jinxuan died unexpectedly, and there is no proof of her death. As long as our two families agree, there will be no more disturbances." , It's just...Jin Rong, you have to order carefully, and don't show your feet."

Wei Liujiang wiped off his sweat and said, "Son, don't worry, Rongrong has been very careful."

The prefect of Wei pondered and said: "It's fine in Jinan Prefecture, but the key is that you have to be careful when you get to Jinling."

Wei Liujiang said: "It means that Jinxuan's grandparent's family is in trouble."

"This incident will give your father-in-law a headache." Wei Zhifu was also irritated in his heart, no one wanted this kind of thing to happen, and since it happened, he could only cover it up and make a mistake.
