Chapter 872: A Side Path
Watteau was very angry.
It wasn't because the person interrupted what she wanted to say, but because the other person had a very loud voice.
The words "Sister Shen" and "an official appointed by the imperial court" attracted the attention of everyone around, and the identity of the master was also obvious.
"Is it Master Shen?"
The people were talking about it, "Oh! I said there was a magpie calling on the eaves this morning, and I saw a living Lord Shen!"
"Master Shen came to my stall to eat wontons? I, I, Master Shen, your meal..."
The stall owner was about to go up and talk to them when he saw a woman picking up another young man with one hand.
And this woman was brought by Lord Shen.
The stall owner felt his neck tighten when he saw this and stopped in his tracks.
“What are you doing! Let me go!” Zhuang Quan was lifted up by a woman, and was shocked and embarrassed. He struggled violently in mid-air. “I’m a man. I don’t want to be violent with you. Put me down quickly and we can talk about everything... Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing! You’re being a hooligan——!”
Hua Duo took out the purse from Zhuang Quanye's arms.
Before, he had his purse hanging around his waist, but today he was going to watch his cousin being executed, and there were many people around, so he was more cautious and stuffed the purse into his arms.
But I didn’t expect it to be “robbed” anyway.
Huaduo poured out two pieces of silver, weighing a total of two taels.
The silver glittered in the sunlight. Seeing this, the stall owner waved his hands and said, "No, no, Mr. Shen, you don't need to pay for this meal. If you want to eat this in the future, you can come and eat..."
"Yes." Shen Zheng stood up, pushed the silver coins forward, pointed at Zhuang Quan and said, "He just talked nonsense, stall owner, please don't take it to heart."
She saw with her own eyes the stall owner washing his hands in the basin.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Hua Duo held Zhuang Quanye in one hand and protected Shen Zheng with his sword in the other as they walked out of the crowd.
The people saw the warning in her eyes and were afraid of the sword in her hand, so they dared not follow her.
Only the wonton stall owner smiled with a smile, and directly picked up two taels of silver on the table and said, "Is there anyone here who can write well? Two taels of silver, please help me write a few words for this stall!"
Two taels of silver was not a small sum for the common people in Beijing.
They asked what the theme of the stall was.
The stall owner said, “Just write on the white cloth: Wontons tasted by Lord Shen himself.”
......
Shen Zheng got on the carriage.
Zhuang Quan was also left at the intersection by Huaduo, but he relied on his own legs to catch up with the carriage in the crowd.
"Sister Shen, Sister Shen, please let me come up. I have two words to say to you!"
He ran after the carriage, knocking on the windows.
Shen Zheng actually thinks that Zhuang Quanye is a very interesting little brat.
He was turned away yesterday, so he must have been angry for a while, but when he opened his eyes today, he calmed himself down again.
"Sometimes, being stupid is a good thing." Shen Zheng said to Hua Duo, "Let him come up."
Hua Duo asked the driver to stop the car, and then helped Zhuang Quan get on board.
Zhuang Quan was also out of breath. He picked up the teapot in the car and wanted to drink it, but Shen Zheng slapped his hand and said, "There is a cup."
"Oh......"
He drank three cups of tea in a row, wiped his mouth with an unsatisfied look and said, "Sister Shen, why did you let her..."
After looking at Hua Duo with lingering fear, he continued: "Why let her rob me? If you want me to give money to the stall owner, just say it directly. I am not unwilling to listen."
Shen Zheng didn't reply and asked, "You said you have something to say to me?"
"Oh, exactly!" Zhuang Quan also buried his head in his pockets, but after a long time he didn't find anything. He slapped his head and said, "I forgot, I gave your solution sheet to the master. Sister Shen, did you deliberately not let the master and I enter the mansion yesterday?"
Another advantage of being simple-minded is that you can accept other people's malice completely and not get stuck on it.
"Yes." Shen Zheng was brought to the point by him: "You also said that I am an official appointed by the court, and your master is a commoner. Since we are going to visit, we should show the attitude of visiting. How can we let a little kid knock on the door?"
"But Master..." Zhuang Quan also subconsciously wanted to explain, but he felt that no matter what he said, it would be wrong.
He whispered, "But as long as you agree to see the master, the master will not be rude."
Shen Zheng shook her head. "It doesn't make sense for an elder to ask a younger person to help him out. Zhuang Quanye, you should be more careful."
Zhuang Quan also scratched his hair in annoyance.
No matter what, he will be more careful.
Yu’s grandfather also told him to eat more dried longans, saying that it would help him become more careful.
He found that he couldn't win the argument with Shen Zheng, so he could only mutter in a low voice: "Master said that your method is... is, is a side path... so I want to discuss it with you a little more."
Huaduo turned his head and looked over.
She didn't know what "going off the beaten path" meant, but she always felt it was not a good word.
Shen Zheng sneered: "Why don't you just talk about the crooked ways? I'm talking about the crooked ways, why would he bother to discuss it with me? Knock on the door of the Imperial College respectfully and discuss it with the teachers there."
Crooked approach?
With a "swish", Huaduo's sword was half out of its sheath.
Zhuang Quan also shuddered, and spoke faster: "So the master went to find Jia Debo today, and was going to ask the uncle to take him to the Imperial College! Lady, knight, Sister Shen is still here, you can't unsheathe your sword in the carriage, what if you hurt Sister Shen!"
Hua Duo asked herself, she still had this level of accuracy.
Shen Zheng didn't say anything to her, but asked Zhuang Quanye: "Then why did you chase me so desperately? What do you want to say?"
"I want to say..." Zhuang Quan also glanced at Hua Duo and swallowed his saliva, "Can you write a clearer step for me? The master kept saying yesterday that it is not advisable to take a detour. If it is seen by Gardeber, it will damage your reputation. If your method can find some basis, he can help you say a few good words in front of Gardeber..."
Shen Zheng picked her ears.
I don't understand.
She fished again.
Zhuang Quanye’s master is a talented person!
Such a dirty act as "stealing the steps to solve the problem" can be justified by the other party so righteously, and Gadber was also mentioned in the process.
She remained silent for a long time, and Zhuang Quan shrank his neck and asked her: "What are you thinking about..."
"I'm thinking that maybe you should really rebel against your master."
"Impossible!" Zhuang Quan also stiffened his neck. "Serving a teacher is like serving a father. How could I be so rebellious!"
"You really don't want to consider it?" Shen Zheng asked.
"I won't!" Zhuang Quan also straightened his back.
"Throw it down." Shen Zheng said.
"Ah?" Before Zhuang Quan could react, Hua Duo picked him up with one hand and carried him out of the carriage.
"Lady, wait, wait. I have one more thing to say!" Zhuang Quan also grabbed the car door with both hands and squeezed his head in, "Sister Shen, are you going to watch the execution too? Let's go together..."
