Chapter 43
Yang Sheng went to tinker with the experiment, while Shen Feng Ming went out again. Jiang Yun Zhu sat down and continued to chat with Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Liu.
"What are your future plans?" Mrs. Chen asked Mrs. Liu.
"I'm familiar with that yard and don't want to move anymore. So I signed a new contract with the landlord to continue living there," Mrs. Liu said.
Mrs. Chen wasn't surprised. It was just that the rent in the county must be expensive. How will she make a living?
"I want to embroider some things to sell." Mrs. Liu said a little nervously. This was just her idea. Don't know if it would work.
Mrs. Chen felt that it should work. As she didn't know the situation in the county, she dared not talk nonsense.
"Auntie could definitely do it." Jiang Yun Zhu said. Judging by the dress that Mrs. Liu made for her, she could tell that she was excellent in embroidery and sticks to high quality. There was definitely a future in making embroidery or even making clothes in the future.
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen said to Mrs. Liu with a smile, "Since Yun Zhu said you could do it, you can definitely do it. If you need help in the future, just come to us."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu was very moved. She nodded her head heavily, feeling a little more hopeful about the future.
"If there's anything I could help with, you must definitely come to me." She stated.
At noon when the Jiang Family was busy, Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng heard the familiar bird call and went out.
In a depression in the back mountain, a group of Qilin guards led horses and stood there covered in dust. They rushed over through day and night. Although they were exhausted, everyone stood upright like pines and cypresses and with bright eyes, as if there was a flame burning in them.
"Greeting Commander and Deputy Commander!" Seeing Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng, the group of people knelt down in unison. Their voices were excited and sincere.
No matter what outsiders think of Shen Feng Ming, in their hearts, Commander was the person they were willing to follow and look up to all their lives.
Killing corrupt officials and dignitaries. If there was any trace of justice in this world, it must be their commanding official; he went into the barbarian lair alone and rescued their brothers. Though his expression was cold, they knew that his blood was hot..
They were willing to be the sword in his hand. The sharpest sword. The point of the blade was the direction they moved forward to.
A hundred deaths without regrets!
"Not bad." Yang Sheng glanced at everyone and said with a smile.
Although he had his own selfish motives in choosing to handle this case, he will finish this case properly since he was here.
At this time, on an official road in Wuling County. A group of people and horses galloped over. There were more than two hundred people.
On a nearby hill, Ji San Niang was standing there. The wind blew her white skirt, making her seem like she was about to fly away.
"Song Li, do you think this is a chance the Heaven gave to me?" She stared at the group of people, especially the young man on the horse in the middle. She suddenly spoke out.
"Madam." Song Li's face was full of worry, "That man has so many guards and servants by his side..."
They couldn’t win so easily.
But Ji San Niang didn't seem to hear it. She just said, "It's not Heaven. I prayed to the Heaven and Buddhas in the sky that day, but no one rescued me. It must be Shao Ze. His spirit in heaven is helping me."
"Madam!" Song Li was restless.
However, Ji San Niang smiled. She took the white flower from her head and let it float with the wind.
In the future, she didn’t need this white flower. She will go down to accompany her Shao Ze in person. As long as he doesn't dislike her bloodstained hands.
On the official road, Xiao Qi Songsat slack on his horse and asked Deng Hong, "How long will it take to reach Wuling Mine? This journey has exhausted me to death."
The last time Shen Feng Ming captured Wang Bin and others back to the capital, the court fought openly and secretly. Finally, they sent someone over. Deng Hong was the new general of the Wuling Mine garrison. While Xiao Qi Song, his deputy.
A deputy dared to talk to the general like this? If he was in the army, he would be dragged out and beaten with twenty army sticks.
But Xiao Qi Song was surnamed Xiao. The Xiao of the royal family of the Xia Dynasty. His father was King Huainan. So naturally he wasn't afraid of Deng Hong.
Deng Hong was annoyed. The initial six or seven days journey had been delayed by him until now. Did he think they were out for fun?
Indeed, the other party came here to play and earn money in the mine. It was without danger and could earn military credit. When the other party goes back, the other party will probably be able to take the post of general and be on an equal footing with him.
It was lamentable for him, who had gone through life and death for so many years. It was lamentable for those soldiers who threw their heads and shed blood. In the end they were not as good as a dandy who can't even hold a spear.
Thinking of this, Deng Hong really wanted someone to pull Xiao Qi Song off his horse and punish him for delaying the military plan and disrespecting his superiors.
But he held back in the end. He had no foundation in the court. If he sorted Xiao Qi Song today, maybe he will be escorted back to the capital in a few days.
"We've arrived in Wuling County. Hurry up and we'll be able to reach Wuling Mine in the evening." He replied with a cold face.
In the evening of the next day, Jiang Yun Zhu finished frying the last pot of cold eaten rabbit, put everything into a jar, sealed it, and came to find Yang Sheng.
"The things are ready. Come and take a look." She said.
These two days, he lived off the smell of the fragrance. So when hearing this, he hurried out.
In a storehouse in the backyard, he saw dozens of jars neatly arranged. Each jar was about the size of a watermelon and snow-white all over with red paper pasted on it. Words were written on the red paper.
There were ‘cold-eating rabbit, stewed thin beef slices, boneless duck feet, spicy chicken…’ Each were two jars. There were more than a dozen things.
Yang Sheng was dumbfounded. He didn't want to bother Jiang Yun Zhu so much. This much was made. How much effort did she spend?
Moreover, at a glance, these things were much more good-value than what Nie Xin bought.
"Didn't you say to sell it to me at the normal price?" Yang Sheng was anxious. Jiang Yun Zhu worked hard to make money. He didn't want to take advantage of her at all.
However, Jiang Yun Zhu was taking into account of Wei Kang Ping's matter. Maybe he and Shen Feng Ming helped her. So she wanted to express her gratitude as much as possible. She really put her heart into doing this.
"This is the normal price," she replied. Even like this, she earned four liang silver or so from him.
"This can’t do." Yang Sheng took out another ingot of silver, which was worth ten liang, to Jiang Yun Zhu.
Of course Jiang Yun Zhu didn't want it. Yang Sheng was a man. He didn't dare to get into a fight with her. So it was a deadlock for a while.
Jiang Yun Zhu had no choice but to say, "It's really not a cheap price. It's a friendship price."
The friendship price was a little cheaper than the normal price, but it wasn’t particularly cheap either.
Yang Sheng’s ear perked up, "Friendship price?" So, she regarded him as a friend?
Jiang Yun Zhu: ...
After getting along these days, she really felt that Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng seemed to be pretty good. As for friends...
Yang Sheng grinned. From now on, they were friends. He looked at those jars happily. He had tried cold-eaten rabbits, stewed thin beef slices. Boneless duck claw.
"Is it duck feet?" He was curious.
People in the Xia Dynasty ate ducks, but no one seemed to specialize in making duck feet.
"Yes, the duck's feet are boneless and marinated in brine. There is a five-spiced flavor and a mala spicy flavor." Jiang Yun Zhu explained. In this era, the temperature in winter was very low. Dripping water turned into ice. If one made these things now, there was no fear of going bad on the road. So she added a five-spiced flavor. This way people who didn't to eat chili can eat it.
Yang Sheng was stunned. The duck's claws were so big. The bones needed to be removed little by little? He immediately opened the jar, picked one out with chopsticks, and put it in his mouth.
Sure enough, there were no bones. The duck webs were soft and smooth, while the duck tendons were very chewy. With the whole thing in the mouth and its spiciness, one could only feel the tongue and teeth were enjoying it. Satisfaction all in one bite!
"This is delicious." Yang Sheng exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Yun Zhu loved boneless duck claws the most, and nodded upon hearing this.
Becoming interested, Yang Sheng took the chopsticks and tasted them one by one. Then he was fixated there. He suddenly didn't want to send these back to the capital. What if his mother forces him to buy more after finishing them?
No, his mother will definitely force him to buy it again. Then he will trouble Jiang Yun Zhu again.
He didn't want to see her hands soaking in cold water anymore.
Of course Jiang Yun Zhu didn't know what was going on in his heart. So she asked suspiciously, "What? It’s not delicious?"
"It's delicious. It's so delicious." Yang Sheng replied.
Jiang Yun Zhu raised the corner of her mouth. That's good. Fortunately, old Fourth Fang and his wife were quite capable. She was only in charge of the stove. Occasionally, she would soak in cold water.
"I'm thinking, should I keep it and eat by myself?" Yang Sheng explained.
Jiang Yun Zhu laughed. With so many jars of food, how long will he take to eat it by himself? Besides, "There are still some in the pot. It should be enough for you."
Alright then. Yang Sheng seemed to have no reason not to send these things back to the capital. It was just, he caught a glimpse of five or six jars of things at the side. Judging by the names, they were cold-eaten rabbits or something.
"This is?" he asked.
"I want to gift it to Gentleman Shen." Jiang Yun Zhu answered. She originally planned to give Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng some food. Now it was perfect, "I don't know..."
What she meant, the Shen Family was a major household. What if they didn't like this kind of thing at all.
Yang Sheng didn't even finish listening to her words. He ran out and quickly pulled Shen Feng Ming over.
"Miss Jiang said it’s for you." Yang Sheng pointed at the jars and said in a carefree tone.
Suddenly, he felt that his life was miserable again. Clearly he said he wanted it and spent money. Shen Feng Ming didn't do anything and he still got something?
Shen Feng Ming's long eyelashes fluttered. He looked at Jiang Yun Zhu.
Perhaps it was because of the fine sunlight passing through the window sills and shining into his eyes. At this moment Jiang Yun Zhu felt that his whole body wasn't so cold. Like the new snow in early spring. Although it was still cold, it only gave people a fresh vibe.
"You want to gift to me to send home?" Taking in the jars, Shen Feng Ming asked. There were words written by Jiang Yun Zhu on the jars. The words weren’t very neat, but it looked like it was written by a woman.
If his mother sees...
"En... If you don't want it, then..."
"Okay." Shen Feng Ming said.
Jiang Yun Zhu's eyes were slightly widened at him. This Commander was still as unpredictable as ever.
Yang Sheng immediately arranged for someone to send the things back. He specifically ordered that the six jars at the side be sent to the Shen Family and the rest to the Yang Family. As for the sausage, it will take a few days to dry. So there was no rush.
As the carriage wheeled away, Yang Sheng put his hands behind his back, feeling refreshed.
At noon the next day, Jiang Yun Zhu was busy cooking. A carriage drove quickly from the official road and soon arrived at the gate of Jiang's house.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and two people came out from inside. They looked around and said to a person in the carriage, "Pardon us".
Then they put the person outside the carriage before driving the carriage and disappear.
The person on the ground felt that he was free and immediately jumped up. He pulled off the cloth bag on his head, reached out to touch his waist, and opened his mouth to curse.
But was welcomed by the sight that there was no one in front of him. He was surrounded by green hills in the distance and a small village nearby.
There was a burst of fragrance in the air. The old man raised his nose to smell it. Then he looked toward that direction.
He saw that it was a very ordinary farmhouse with smoke billowing from the kitchen inside. The aroma came from that house's kitchen.
A stomach growled.
"These bastards didn't let me eat." The old man berated and knocked on the door.
"I'll go and open the door." When Mrs. Chen heard the noise, she was afraid that Jiang Yun Zhu would be distracted and walked out.
When she opened the door, she found a strange old man outside. The old man was about fifty or sixty years old, wearing ordinary brown clothes. Like any other common old people in the village.
No, he was a little different. His eyes were unusually healthy and bright. It made him look very energetic.
"You are?" Mrs. Chen asked.
The old man was silent for a moment before answering, "Passing by. I heard that there is a food aroma in your yard. I'm hungry and want to buy some food from you."
As the old man spoke, he touched around his body but found that he had no money at all. His face turned dark again.
Coincidentally, at this moment, his stomach growled again.
Realizing his embarrassment, Mrs. Chen felt that it wasn’t easy for him at such an age. So she opened the door and invited him in, "No need to buy. Some food had already been prepared. Wait a minute. I'll serve it for you."
The old man stepped in.
Although Jiang Yun Zhu was in the kitchen, she looked into the courtyard when she heard voices from outside. She happened to see the old man strolling in and stood there in a daze.
Celestial Doctor Wu. Was this the legendary Celestial Doctor Wu? In the dream, when she was in Marquis Anping Mansion, Marquis Mansion’s old Madam was ill. Lin Ting An sent people to look for him everywhere and wanted him to help treat the illness.
At that time she had seen his portrait. That portrait should have been drawn by Dan Qing's master hand. The eyebrows and eyes were 70% similar to him, while the expression was 100% like him.
It was Celestial Doctor Wu, Jiang Yun Zhu confirmed.
But why did he suddenly come here?
It was said that his whereabouts were erratic. At that time, Lin Ting An searched for him for half a year, but couldn't find him. In the end, he had to give up. Now?
Did he wander here?
Jiang Yun Zhu suddenly became excited. If he was willing to help with old Mister Chen’s illness, will old Mister Chen's eyes be healed? But it was said that he had a very strange personality. If he wanted, he would even cure beggars and death row prisoners.
If he didn't want to, it was useless even when the emperor came. He said, even if it meant early death and early rebirth, that was how he was.
Of course the emperor was reluctant to let him die. Everyone was reluctant to let him die. After he dies, no one will treat their illnesses.
At this time in the side room, Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng saw old Mister Wu.
Yang Cheng crossed his arms and looked outside. He asked Shen Feng Ming with a smile, "He really hadn't left Hangzhou. Guess what he was doing when he was found?"
"What was he doing?" Shen Feng Ming rarely responded to Yang Sheng.
"Fishing for tortoises in the West Lake! He insisted that there were thousand-year-old tortoises at the bottom of the West Lake. It’s perfect to catch one and eat it as stewed soup. Say this old man..." Yang Sheng shook his head.
Suddenly he asked Shen Feng Ming again, "Guess, if he sees you later, will he expose your identity?"
Old Mister Wu had met Shen Feng Ming.
Shen Feng Ming's hand that held the case file paused, "Let him."
Actually, he and Yang Sheng never thought about lying to the Jiang Family all the time.
But Yang Sheng became conflicted. He not only wanted Jiang Yun Zhu to know Shen Feng Ming's identity, but wanted to see her reaction. But he was afraid that she would be too frightened after knowing his identity. It was really too difficult!
At this time, Jiang Yun Zhu finished frying the pot of dishes and hurried out. She spoke to Old Mister Wu, "Old Mister, are you passing by?"
Old Mister Wu looked Jiang Yun Zhu up and down and was a little surprised that there was such a beautiful girl in this remote mountain village.
"Yes." Old Mister Wu didn't want to say that he was left here. He wanted face too.
Jiang Yun Zhu smiled, "Old Mister, sit inside. I'll serve you the meal." She said and went into the kitchen.
When they arrived in the courtyard, the smell of the food became stronger. Old Mister Wu couldn't help but look into the kitchen.
At this time, there were footsteps at the side. When he turned his head, he saw Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng coming out of the side room.
Shen Feng Ming, Commander of the Qilin Guard! Old Mister Wu's face immediately turned cold. He understood why he was thrown here. Except for the famous Qilin Guard, who knew he was in West Lake.
What did he sought him for? Medical treatment? Don't even think about it! Even if he cures a dog, he won't help him!
Does he remember the way he killed people? It was so majestic and hostile.
"Gentleman Shen, Gentleman Yang, wait a little longer. The food will be ready soon." Seeing Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng coming out, Mrs. Chen thought they were getting impatient from waiting for the meal and said.
"It's okay, no rush." Yang Sheng smiled back.
One asked, one answered. It seemed ordinary, but Old Mister Wu's eyes were wide open. What did he see? This woman? Didn't she know who Shen Feng Ming was? She dared to talk to him like that.
Who dared to talk to Shen Feng Ming like this in the entire capital... No, he quickly realized that Mrs. Chen didn't seem to know Shen Feng Ming's identity at all. Otherwise, would she have such an attitude?
At this time, old Mister Chen heard the voice, walked out of the room, and asked, "Who is it?"
From his groping appearance, Old Mister Wu immediately noticed that there was something wrong with his eyes.
"Father, he's a passing by elderly." Mrs. Chen explained to old Mister Chen.
"Old Mister, why don't you sit in the room?" Jiang Yun Zhu came out from the kitchen with food and asked.
Old Mister Wu looked from one side to the other. Suddenly, he grinned. Interesting!
Yang Sheng went to tinker with the experiment, while Shen Feng Ming went out again. Jiang Yun Zhu sat down and continued to chat with Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Liu.
"What are your future plans?" Mrs. Chen asked Mrs. Liu.
"I'm familiar with that yard and don't want to move anymore. So I signed a new contract with the landlord to continue living there," Mrs. Liu said.
Mrs. Chen wasn't surprised. It was just that the rent in the county must be expensive. How will she make a living?
"I want to embroider some things to sell." Mrs. Liu said a little nervously. This was just her idea. Don't know if it would work.
Mrs. Chen felt that it should work. As she didn't know the situation in the county, she dared not talk nonsense.
"Auntie could definitely do it." Jiang Yun Zhu said. Judging by the dress that Mrs. Liu made for her, she could tell that she was excellent in embroidery and sticks to high quality. There was definitely a future in making embroidery or even making clothes in the future.
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen said to Mrs. Liu with a smile, "Since Yun Zhu said you could do it, you can definitely do it. If you need help in the future, just come to us."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu was very moved. She nodded her head heavily, feeling a little more hopeful about the future.
"If there's anything I could help with, you must definitely come to me." She stated.
At noon when the Jiang Family was busy, Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng heard the familiar bird call and went out.

"Madam!" Song Li was restless.
However, Ji San Niang smiled. She took the white flower from her head and let it float with the wind.
In the future, she didn’t need this white flower. She will go down to accompany her Shao Ze in person. As long as he doesn't dislike her bloodstained hands.
On the official road, Xiao Qi Songsat slack on his horse and asked Deng Hong, "How long will it take to reach Wuling Mine? This journey has exhausted me to death."

The friendship price was a little cheaper than the normal price, but it wasn’t particularly cheap either.

It was said that his whereabouts were erratic. At that time, Lin Ting An searched for him for half a year, but couldn't find him. In the end, he had to give up. Now?
Did he wander here?
Jiang Yun Zhu suddenly became excited. If he was willing to help with old Mister Chen’s illness, will old Mister Chen's eyes be healed? But it was said that he had a very strange personality. If he wanted, he would even cure beggars and death row prisoners.
If he didn't want to, it was useless even when the emperor came. He said, even if it meant early death and early rebirth, that was how he was.
Of course the emperor was reluctant to let him die. Everyone was reluctant to let him die. After he dies, no one will treat their illnesses.
At this time in the side room, Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng saw old Mister Wu.
Yang Cheng crossed his arms and looked outside. He asked Shen Feng Ming with a smile, "He really hadn't left Hangzhou. Guess what he was doing when he was found?"
"What was he doing?" Shen Feng Ming rarely responded to Yang Sheng.
"Fishing for tortoises in the West Lake! He insisted that there were thousand-year-old tortoises at the bottom of the West Lake. It’s perfect to catch one and eat it as stewed soup. Say this old man..." Yang Sheng shook his head.
Suddenly he asked Shen Feng Ming again, "Guess, if he sees you later, will he expose your identity?"
Old Mister Wu had met Shen Feng Ming.
Shen Feng Ming's hand that held the case file paused, "Let him."
Actually, he and Yang Sheng never thought about lying to the Jiang Family all the time.
But Yang Sheng became conflicted. He not only wanted Jiang Yun Zhu to know Shen Feng Ming's identity, but wanted to see her reaction. But he was afraid that she would be too frightened after knowing his identity. It was really too difficult!
At this time, Jiang Yun Zhu finished frying the pot of dishes and hurried out. She spoke to Old Mister Wu, "Old Mister, are you passing by?"
Old Mister Wu looked Jiang Yun Zhu up and down and was a little surprised that there was such a beautiful girl in this remote mountain village.
"Yes." Old Mister Wu didn't want to say that he was left here. He wanted face too.
Jiang Yun Zhu smiled, "Old Mister, sit inside. I'll serve you the meal." She said and went into the kitchen.
When they arrived in the courtyard, the smell of the food became stronger. Old Mister Wu couldn't help but look into the kitchen.
At this time, there were footsteps at the side. When he turned his head, he saw Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng coming out of the side room.
Shen Feng Ming, Commander of the Qilin Guard! Old Mister Wu's face immediately turned cold. He understood why he was thrown here. Except for the famous Qilin Guard, who knew he was in West Lake.
What did he sought him for? Medical treatment? Don't even think about it! Even if he cures a dog, he won't help him!
Does he remember the way he killed people? It was so majestic and hostile.
"Gentleman Shen, Gentleman Yang, wait a little longer. The food will be ready soon." Seeing Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng coming out, Mrs. Chen thought they were getting impatient from waiting for the meal and said.
"It's okay, no rush." Yang Sheng smiled back.
One asked, one answered. It seemed ordinary, but Old Mister Wu's eyes were wide open. What did he see? This woman? Didn't she know who Shen Feng Ming was? She dared to talk to him like that.
Who dared to talk to Shen Feng Ming like this in the entire capital... No, he quickly realized that Mrs. Chen didn't seem to know Shen Feng Ming's identity at all. Otherwise, would she have such an attitude?
At this time, old Mister Chen heard the voice, walked out of the room, and asked, "Who is it?"
From his groping appearance, Old Mister Wu immediately noticed that there was something wrong with his eyes.
"Father, he's a passing by elderly." Mrs. Chen explained to old Mister Chen.
"Old Mister, why don't you sit in the room?" Jiang Yun Zhu came out from the kitchen with food and asked.
Old Mister Wu looked from one side to the other. Suddenly, he grinned. Interesting!
That old guy is hooked!
