Ling Shuang forgot to punish Yang Tong for this matter, glanced at the basket suspiciously, and frowned: "Let's make it up again, I have tasted all the famous snacks in Luoyang City, but I have never heard of any Portuguese egg tarts." ”

Yang Tong hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter if you've heard of it or not, as long as it's delicious." ”

Ling Shuang's face was a little moved, but he put on a disdainful look: "I never eat those snacks on the street, although they smell good, they may not taste good, and they are not clean." ”

Even so, she glanced at the bamboo basket from time to time.

Yang Tong instigated and said: "Sister Shuang will know if you taste one, although it may not be to your taste, Sister Shuang, but if it is delicious, Sister Shuang missed it, isn't it a pity?" ”

Ling Shuang hesitated for a moment, pretending to be embarrassed, and said, "Then I'll reluctantly taste one." ”

As she spoke, she took an egg tart from Yang Tong's hand, brought it to her mouth, took a small bite, and chewed it carefully, and then, she stopped chewing, and the expression on her face became extremely moving.

Yang Tong looked at her with a smile on his face and confidence.

Ling Shuang glanced at Yang Tong with some embarrassment, quickly but elegantly ate the egg tart in his hand, and reached out to take another piece.

"Is it delicious?" Yang Tong asked.

"The taste is pretty average."

"But I remember that Sister Shuang never ate the second piece when she ate."

"How can you taste a piece so small?" Ling Shuang pretended not to care, and seeing the look on Yang Tong's face that he had already guessed that you would say this, he finally couldn't hold it back, and said angrily: "Why didn't you bring it to me to taste before?" Did you hide yourself and not tell me? ”

Yang Tong shouted injustice: "Wronged, I only found out today that there is such a delicious thing, why didn't you bring it to Sister Shuang for the first time, how dare you hide it privately." ”

Ling Shuang asked, "Where did you buy it, I'll buy it later." ”

"Hehe, you can't buy this thing with money, if Sister Shuang wants to eat it in the future, tell me, and I'll get it for you immediately."

Ling Shuang didn't speak again, tasted the second piece carefully, and wiped her hand: "Your trick has succeeded, I have eaten the things, Mother Li, send off guests." ”

Looking at Ling Shuang, who turned his face faster than a book, Yang Tong was stunned as if he were petrified.

Ling Shuang ignored him anymore and turned around and entered the study.

After Yang Tong left, she came out of the bedroom, looked at his departing figure, and muttered to herself: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but I have learned to calculate people." ”

Then, he looked down at the remaining tart crumbs on his hand, hesitated for a while, secretly looked around the room, saw that there was no one around, and quickly put his finger in his mouth and sucked it.

……

In a restaurant on Luoyang Street.

Several servants, dressed in various servant costumes, were sitting around the table by the window, drinking small wine, boasting about the great achievements of their lords, and the table was already a mess of cups and plates.

One of them said: "Speaking of our family, it is a celebrity around the emperor, we are the current people, we are fortunate to serve such a master, it is really a blessing from the previous life, as the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and with our family, we will live longer." ”

"What do you mean by that?" The others were some good deeds, and when they saw that he had something to say, they hurriedly asked.

Then the wine, the man drunkenly said: "In addition to the emperor and my family, few people in Luoyang know about this matter, a few days ago our family was ordered by the emperor to go to Yanjin to inspect, and immediately after coming back, we let our head Chen sell all the fields and shops in the house, and exchange them for more than a dozen large boxes of silver with flowers, our family has been an official in Luoyang since Emperor Wen, Luoyang is the place where his ancestors lived and died, this suddenly sold the family property, others do not know, but I know that there must be something strange about this matter. ”

He took a sip of wine, and his face was slightly proud: "Later, I secretly crouched under the window of my family, and heard him and his wife say, half a month ago, the anti-thieves of Wagangzhai besieged Xingyang, and beheaded me under the city of General Zhang Xutuo, the governor of the city, and hung the corpse at the head of the city for three days, the east door of Luoyang was wide open, and the next goal of these thieves in Wagangzhai was to attack Luoyang, and even the emperor was ready to flee south to Jiangdu, but he hid it from the world, and when the thieves attacked Luoyang, I don't know how many people will die!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and one of them said with understanding: "No wonder my general was summoned by the emperor for several days in a row and entered the palace to discuss matters, and it is for this matter!" ”

Everyone looked back at one of the servants who was drunk and dazed, and asked, "Xiao Li, you are from the Yue Palace, have you heard about this?" ”

Xiao Li said with a complaining face: "What is the Yue Wangfu, but it is the concubine of the dead prince, he has been a little pervert since he was a child, he is young, in addition to peeking around every day to see women taking a bath, he is to go to Baihualou to look for flowers and ask willows."

"Ten days ago, I just tied up the people of Pei Mansion and planted them to Feng Fu, not to mention, a few days ago I was jealous in Baihualou, and beat the second son of Mr. Jin, and it was nothing to provoke others, he didn't know who Mr. Jin was? Anyway, I can't stay in this Yue Wangfu, the sooner I leave, the better, those subordinates in the Yue Wangfu are all thinking of finding another home, Brother Chen, see if you can get me into your mansion, even being a slave who dumps a dung bucket is better than waiting to die in the Yue Wangfu......"

The slave he called "Brother Chen" had a embarrassed face: "I don't care if I say this, I can help you inquire if I have the opportunity, and it may not be possible." ”

"Thank you in advance...... Ahh

As Xiao Li was talking, two men in civilian clothes at the next table suddenly stood up, walked up to him, grabbed him and dragged him up from the chair like a chicken.

The others were all startled, and they all stood up and glared at the two big men.

"Seal the mansion to do things, and the idle people will dodge!" A man stared at them with wide eyes, and when he landed on them, he was so excited that he couldn't say a word of cruelty, and sat down again.

The two of them carried Xiao Li, who was crying wolf, out of the restaurant, tied him up and threw him into a carriage, and galloped away......

……

Closed house.

The gate opened, and Steward Tian walked out of the gate, walked to the guard at the door, and handed a yellow envelope to the guard.

"Send this letter to Second Master Pei of the Pei Mansion of the Salt Gang."

"Yes!" The guard took the letter, turned and mounted his horse and galloped away......
