Chapter 346 Steamed Buns with Cured Pork Sauce (3)

After waiting for most of the day, it was Wen Mingtang's turn. After writing his name and the person he was looking for on the list, Wen Mingtang walked to the middle door of the Tongming Gate and waited.

After waiting for about half a stick of incense, Zhao Sishan finally arrived.

Although she was still wearing the official uniform of a female official, she didn't tie up her hair as meticulously as usual. The hair that didn't fall in front of her face looked fresh and clean, but it was tightly tied up. The tightness of the scalp, the feeling of being pinched tightly, makes the scalp numb, and it is really easy to "pull" the hair out.

Therefore, whenever he was on holiday, Zhao Sishan would only wear a normal single bun to make his scalp and himself feel relaxed.

Women love beauty by nature, and Zhao Sishan is no exception. There are many rules in the palace, including how to comb your hair. Only when you leave the palace can you have the freedom to comb your hair.

One look at the single bun on Zhao Sishan's head, and Wen Mingtang knew that this year was just like every other year, and she was on holiday. Since it was a holiday, why did Zhao Sishan, who didn't procrastinate in doing things, take half a stick of incense to come out?

Although he changed into a single bun and his scalp felt more relaxed, looking at the tired look on Zhao Sishan's face, it seemed as if he had not gotten any rest after taking a break.

In front of Wen Mingtang, there was no need to work up the energy to do those false etiquette and nonsense. Zhao Sishan raised his hand to cover his lips and yawned. Before she could speak, he explained the whole story: "I was busy until midnight last night. Go to bed, I'm exhausted. It's a rare holiday, so I stayed in bed for a while. You already learned about the virtues of my brother and sister-in-law when they left the palace at the beginning of the year, and you know it after thinking about it. Seeing that I am about to leave the palace to collect food. Now that you haven’t done anything, you haven’t seen me again, so I’ve forgotten about you.”

What she said... Wen Mingtang understood the meaning of her words, and explained with a smile: "Si Shan is complaining that I don't come to see you! So... it seems that all the snacks that the female general in charge gave her were given to her. Now that I'm confused, I'll look for General Liang and ask her if she ate all the snacks."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Sishan rolled his eyes at her, raised his hand as if to give her a "chestnut", and cursed with a smile: "Girl Mingtang is general of my army, General Liang is greedy." You are a little older, but your character is much better than those gentlemen outside. How can you ignore this? Can't you hear me complaining that you don't even know to come to see me at Tongmingmen after leaving the palace? Count the days. , how long have you not come to see me?" After saying that, before Wen Mingtang could speak, he glanced at the things in her hand and immediately reached out to take out the oil paper bag, glanced at the meat buns with preserved meat inside, and said, " Are there two left? Are they all brought to me? That’s fine! Go back and heat them up on my small stove and then you can eat them.”

When the things in her hands were empty, Wen Mingtang wiped the oil on her hands with a handkerchief. She glanced around and saw that everyone meeting her relatives was some distance away from her. Then she approached Zhao Sishan and lowered her voice. He said: "A few days ago, I passed by Prince Liyang's Mansion..."

After hearing Wen Mingtang talk about what he had experienced these days, Zhao Sishan was not too surprised. The expression on his face was dull. After she finished speaking, he glanced at Wen Mingtang, sighed, and said: "It's not easy for you to grow up so big. Your father, surnamed Wen, didn't enjoy the blessing, but the disaster became more severe each time."

Hearing this, Wen Mingtang thought for a moment and said, "This disaster is not all his fault, it's the one who got engaged first..."

"That's his fault too!" Zhao Sishan interrupted her, waved his hand and said, "You don't know how to recognize people. When you meet a sworn brother who immediately draws a line with him when he's in trouble, you still give him a thumbs up. Marrying a bastard like this, and then causing you to meet such a troublesome princess. It sounds like this princess is a condescending person who plays with people's lives. How can you afford to provoke such a person? "

"I..." Wen Mingtang opened his mouth and was about to continue talking when Zhao Sishan spoke again: "Why are you causing trouble everywhere? Let me ask you, what are you going to do?"

It sounds like a complaint, but it's actually concern.

Facing Zhao Sishan's concerned look, Wen Mingtang thought for a while and said, "We, Lin Shaoqing, know about this."

"Who are you, Lin Shaoqing?" Zhao Sishan, like she did when she first left the palace at the beginning of the year, didn't know much about things outside the palace, so she said casually, "Are you, Lin Shaoqing, like Qingtian who is dedicated to the people? You are Qingtian. There is no use in living. The Yamen of Dali Temple is not a free Yamen. He is too busy with the cases at hand! When it is your turn, you may become a member of the case. Let me tell you , the person is dead, everything is too late, there is no use waiting for him to come, can he still save you, as I say..."

Wen Mingtang hurriedly said: "We, Lin Shaoqing, are not what you think..."

"It's not what I thought it would be if Qingtian was still alive." Zhao Sishan interrupted her and said, "That's just someone who talks nice but is actually perfunctory. That's even worse..."

Wen Mingtang only had one hour to talk with Zhao Sishan. Wen Mingtang couldn't let Zhao Sishan talk like this anymore, so he quickly reached out and pushed her to stop her. When Zhao Sishan turned around in surprise, Wen Mingtang shook his head and said, "That's not the case. We, Lin Shaoqing, are exactly the opposite of what you said."

Exactly the opposite of what she said? Zhao Sishan was stunned: What did she say just now? It seems that it sounds nice, but in reality it is perfunctory. On the contrary, what is this Lin Shaoqing like? For a while, she couldn't imagine what it was like for a Dali Temple young minister who said something unpleasant but was actually not very perfunctory in his actions.

"In short, our Lin Shaoqing is not a procrastinator." Wen Mingtang thought for a while and said to Zhao Sishan, "Don't worry."

Zhao Sishan looked at Wen Mingtang and frowned, but hesitated to speak.

This reaction was obviously not reassuring or satisfactory. Wen Mingtang added: "I'm not ready to be so stupid and wait for Lin Shaoqing's help. That 'golden branch and jade leaf' came to the palace gate to see me. I think she also wants to kill me quickly." .”

As for the reason, wait until you receive the princess's reason before you think of a solution. I'm afraid the person will be as cold as the meat buns you just finished eating.

Hearing that she was not stupidly waiting for Lin Shaoqing, who was unimaginably strange, to take action, Zhao Sishan's expression softened a little: This is probably an instinct developed after staying in the palace for several years. Sometimes, You can't just wait for others to save you, you have to make plans in advance.

"Then what are you going to do?" Zhao Sishan understood. He touched the cold cured meat buns in the oil paper package in his hand, rolled his eyes at Wen Mingtang and said, "You are so stingy, you two are cold." It would be a big loss to exchange the Roujiamo for what I want to do! That’s all, tell me what you’re going to do, and I’ll tell you about it!”

Looking at Zhao Sishan in front of him, Wen Mingtang did not immediately say what he wanted to do. Instead, he suddenly smiled and said, "Isn't Sishan one of those people who talks poorly but is actually not perfunctory with his hands?"
