Chapter 152

When the lotus seed tremella and Lily soup came into her mouth, Mrs. Zhao felt mellow and sweet in her mouth, which was totally different from the lotus seed tremella and Lily soup she usually ate.

Mrs. Zhao frowned slightly, put the bowl on the table, raised her eyes to see Jin Xiaoxiao, and asked, "what else do you put in this lotus seed Tremella Lily soup?"

Jin Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "madam, you are suffering from redness. So I put Angelica in Panax notoginseng in lotus seed, tremella and Lily soup. They are all hemostatic herbs."

Mrs. Zhao looked for the soup in the bowl, but she didn't find any medicine in the lotus seed, tremella and Lily soup, so she asked, "but I don't see any herbs, I just feel that the taste of the soup is different."

Jin Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "I grind Angelica sinensis and Panax notoginseng into pulp, and then use honey instead of sucrose, so my wife just eats different tastes, and has no bitter taste."

She pondered a little, then said: "presumably, my wife has also used a lot of medicine these years, the entrance will feel more or less bitter, so she used this method, I hope my wife can like it."

With a smile, Mrs. Zhao closed her head and said, "I like it very much." She picked up the bowl and used the remaining lotus seed, tremella and Lily soup. She took the handkerchief from a small servant girl, wiped the corners of her lips, looked up at Jin Xiaoxiao and asked, "what shall we use at noon today?"

Jin Xiaoxiao gave Mrs. Zhao the menu she had made overnight: "madam, what do you want for lunch?"

Mrs. Zhao was slightly stunned. It was the first time that she had seen such a menu in her family that cooks did what they did and maids ate what they brought.

She carefully looked at a few pages. She had never seen the food on the menu before. After thinking for a moment, she pointed to two small dishes on the menu: "let's use these two dishes."

"Well, I still need to prepare. At noon, I will serve it to my wife."

It's been two days since he came to Cangzhou. Except for sun's house, Jin Xiaoxiao has come to the Zhao's house. He hasn't gone out to have a look. Besides, there's another important thing to come to Cangzhou this time.

In the name of purchasing, she took xiaochunya and left the Zhao family.

Jin Xiaoxiao's front foot just came out of the door, and Zhao Heng's back foot followed: "little girl, where are you going?"

Hearing Zhao Heng's voice, Jin Xiaoxiao stops and turns around, frowns slightly, and glances at him with a trace of displeasure: "I know you asked."

Zhao Heng came up and bumped Jin Xiaoxiao with his elbow: "well, I asked someone to help me with the investigation of what you want to investigate yesterday."

The gold small smell speech, two eyes straight put light: "can have check what eyebrows?"

Zhao Heng said, "I don't know. Let's go and have a look."

They got on the carriage one after another and went straight to Juxian Yaji in Cangzhou Prefecture. This is the place where some wise and elegant scholars of Cangzhou Prefecture often gather. After a long time, many people named it Juxian Yaji.

Jin Xiaoxiao and Zhao Heng came early. There were not many people in the collection, only two or three kittens.

Zhao Heng goes straight to one of them, and Jin Xiaoxiao follows him.

He patted the man on the shoulder and said with a smile, "have you checked what I asked you to check?"

When the man turned his head, Jin Xiaoxiao was stunned.

She did not expect to see Xue Mingqing again in Cangzhou Prefecture.

Earlier in Puyang County, Xue Mingqing left without saying goodbye. Jin Xiaoxiao thought he was an important matter to deal with. When they saw him today, they looked at each other and laughed.

Their smile fell in Zhao Heng's eyes, he looked at two people: "do you know each other?"

Xue Mingqing nodded, still a good childe's appearance, lips smile, give people a kind of feeling like a spring breeze: "we have known each other for a long time."

Jin Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhao Heng as if he didn't want to. "After all, we have known each other for a longer time than you."

Zhao Heng said indifferently: "I knew you had known each other for a long time. I need to do something like this. I asked you to investigate on your own. How can I feel like a donkey that hasn't been polished?"

"Ha ha..."

Hearing this, Jin Xiaoxiao and Xue Mingqing laughed at the same time.

Jin Xiaoxiao pointed to Zhao Heng and said with a smile, "well, in the future, we'll call you maodonkey."

"You..."

After a brief chat and reminiscence, Jin Xiaoxiao gets to the point and asks Xue Mingqing, "Mingqing, do you go to the Peony Pavilion these two days?"

Xue Mingqing took a sip of tea, put down the cup, looked up and said, "the day before yesterday, after brother Zhao asked for my help, I went to the Peony Pavilion. It's strange to say that in the past, the sauce elbow of Peony Pavilion was the most famous one, but I don't know why there are many more dishes on the first floor recently."

"Oh?" Jin Xiaoxiao's voice was a little puzzled, but he seemed to laugh sarcastically: "Zhang Yichu on the first floor has just been killed inexplicably, so the Peony Pavilion has a lot of dishes on the first floor?"

She slowly turned to look at Zhao Heng: "brother Zhao, don't you think it's strange?"

"You mean..."

Jin Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky: "it's still early. Why don't we go to the Peony Pavilion?"

Along the way, Xue Mingqing mentioned that recently, there was a new spoon master in the Peony Pavilion. But it's not known who he was. I just heard that the spoon master was very mysterious and no one was allowed to be on his side when cooking.

Jin Xiaoxiao was even more puzzled: "Mingqing, have you seen the young master of Peony Pavilion these days?"

"Zhang Rui?"

Xue Mingqing thought about it and said, "I haven't seen it. According to my investigation, since that day, Zhang Rui took people to the first floor to smash it, there has been no news."

Gold small hook lip smile: "so, I am more interested in this Peony Pavilion little owner."

Zhao Heng took a bite with a piece of fruit, and spit out two mouthfuls in disgust on the carriage: "it's really bad." Hearing the conversation between Jin Xiaoxiao and Xue Mingqing, he threw the fruit out of the carriage: "Xiaoxiao, do you doubt that there is something wrong with Zhang Rui?"

Jin Xiaoxiao nodded noncommittally and said, "it's not doubt, it's certainty!"

When they spoke, the carriage stopped outside the Peony Pavilion. The three men got out of the carriage one after another. At this time, it was only noon, but the Peony Pavilion was already overcrowded. They still had to issue number plates before they could enter.

"After the collapse of the first floor, the business of the Peony Pavilion dominated Cangzhou Prefecture." Zhao Heng shook his folding fan, and the smile on his face was very meaningful.

Xue Mingqing said with a smile, "I've made a reservation yesterday. Let's go."
