Chapter 1571 Why are you here?
After receiving the notification from the Ministry of War, local officials in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Nanzhili who suffered from the Japanese invasion of Shangyu immediately arranged for work in the yamen. It was placed in the guest room of the Ministry of War, or in the inn outside the Ministry of War, waiting for the imperial envoy to visit.
The officials in Yingtian City also put down their work and waited for the imperial envoy to visit at any time.
As a result, a group of officials did not see the imperial envoy from morning to sunset, and did not receive any notification. When the curfew was about to be curfew, three fast horses rode all the way into Yingtian, and finally brought back the people who were eagerly awaiting Looking forward to the latest news from the imperial envoy.
The imperial envoy was exhausted all the way, and was overwhelmed with toil. He had to rest in Yangzhou for one night, and then set off for Yingtian tomorrow. He expected to arrive in Yingtian tomorrow afternoon.
Soon, the news was notified by the Ministry of War to various yamen, including the yamen of the procuratorate.
After learning that the imperial envoy would not arrive until tomorrow afternoon, Zhang Nietai told Zhu Pingan and the others not to wait any longer. They would go back to their respective homes, take a shower and change clothes tomorrow morning, and go to the military office together in the afternoon to wait for the imperial envoy.
After bidding farewell to Zhang Nietai and others, Zhu Pingan walked slowly to the backyard of the yamen, the yard that was assigned to him at the beginning.
"Grandpa~~Grandfather is back~~ The food is ready, and you can eat it after cleaning your hands when you enter the house."
Baozi’s little girl Sang Hua’er saw Zhu Ping’an from a distance, so she trotted all the way to meet him, as happy as picking up gold.
If she had a tail at this moment, she could wag it.
"Humph"
The enchantress Ruonan on the side formed a stark contrast, and snorted at Zhu Pingan as if she owed her several hundred taels of silver.
"Huh?!" Zhu Pingan was taken aback when he saw Huaer and the witch Ruonan, "Why are you here?"
I was really surprised, I didn't expect that Hua'er and the witch Ruonan would appear in the office of the procurator for punishment.
"What's the matter, nerd, we came here uninvited, preventing you from looking for flowers and asking Liu, stealing fragrance and jade?!" the witch Ruonan sneered, with eyes not eyes and nose not nose asked.
Looking for your sister, stealing your sister, are all the scholars in this witch's mind so unsightly?
Zhu Pingan twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly, teasingly said, "Did you take the gunpowder? Or did your relatives come?!"
"Bah, you shameless disciple!!" The witch Ruonan spat at Zhu Pingan with a red face.
"Hey, uncle, we went to the Zhejun barracks today to deliver chicken soup and pastries to you. Brother Sledgehammer told us. Ruonan said that my uncle, you are here to answer the heavens, and you will definitely come to the yamen, the procuratorial envoy, so we are here, yamen Brother Cha, who is on duty at the gate, recognizes us, and it's because of my uncle's face. Before we said anything, he took the initiative to invite us in, so we came here to wait for my uncle. My uncle must have suffered in the barracks. The servant girl has been doing well these days Make delicious food for my uncle, and serve my uncle well."
Baozi’s little maid, Hua’er, explained with a smile, as proud as a dog who has picked up a bone.
So it was like this, Zhu Pingan understood.
"Also, sir, your guess is really accurate, Ruo Nan is really the one who came today" Hua'er said with admiration again, halfway through her words, her mouth was covered by the witch Ruo Nan.
The demon girl Ruonan covered Hua'er's mouth, then gave Zhu Pingan a hard look, with perverted eyes.
Ahem, it turns out that relatives really came, I just said it casually, it was such a coincidence, Zhu Pingan was speechless.
"Grandfather, there are ginseng chicken soup, prawns with hibiscus, cold deer liver, garlic abalone, splendid lion's head, jade bamboo shoots and bracken, sugar steamed eggplant, vinegar mung bean sprouts, tofu stewed white cabbage, oh, yes There are also mutton buns just out of the pan. Uncle, Ruonan’s stuffing is delicious.”
Baozi’s little maid, Hua’er, stepped forward and reported the name of the dish to Zhu Ping’an with her fingers. She had a baby’s fat smiling face full of expressions of asking for credit and waiting for praise. In the end, she didn’t forget to help the witch Ruonan also by the way. .
Zhu Pingan originally wanted to send Huaer and the witch Ruonan away. He came here to wait for the imperial envoy and listen to the imperial decree, not to enjoy the holiday. It would be inappropriate for you to come here to serve.
However, everyone had already arrived, and they cooked such a sumptuous meal for themselves. Mostly because of Huaer's expectant eyes, Zhu Pingan couldn't say anything about sending them away.
That's all, it takes about a day or two. When the time comes to return to the barracks, Hua'er and the others will also return to Peach Blossom Collection.
"Wow, you have made so many delicious food, just hearing the name makes me want to eat it. Huaer has worked hard, and Ruonan and girl have worked hard too." Zhu Pingan praised with a smile, expressing his gratitude to Huaer and Ruonan.
When Huaer heard the words, she immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes, as if she had received the highest reward in the world.
"I couldn't bear to see the painting work hard, so I helped the leader. Don't be too affectionate." The witch Ruonan snorted, turned and walked into the yard, leaving Zhu Pingan with a back view.
Why am I being so sentimental? It’s obvious that you’re overthinking it, okay, Zhu Ping’an smiled speechlessly.
"Grandpa, come in quickly, the food won't taste good when it's cold," Hua'er urged in a sweet voice.
"Okay, let me try to see how delicious it is, and see if your craftsmanship has improved." Zhu Pingan walked into the yard with a smile.
"Grandpa, my cooking has improved a lot now. I can't go to the camp to serve my uncle. I pester Ruonan to teach me how to cook every day in the yard. I cook at least a dozen dishes every day. If I can't eat, I give them to the neighbors around me." , the neighbors all praise my handicraft is 100 times better than the restaurant in the town."
Hua'er puffed out her chest proudly, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help noticing it, don't look at evil, don't look at evil, Zhu Pingan silently recited twice and turned his head away.
"Humph!"
At this moment, there was a cold snort from the Yao Nu Ruo Nan not far away, Zhu Pingan looked up at the Yao Ruo Nan, the Yao Nu Ruo Nan gave Zhu Ping a hard look, and snorted, "Bookworm, aren't you afraid of the eye of a needle?! "
Didn’t you walk in front, maybe you have eyes behind your back, or you’ve been staring at yourself.
Zhu Ping'an was a little speechless.
After entering the room, Hua'er graciously brought a washbasin filled with warm water, with a towel on her shoulder, and helped Zhu Ping'an wash his hands and face.
"Hua'er, he is a big man, and he is not without arms and legs, so why serve him like this"
The demon girl Ruonan can't stand it, well, she has always been hard to see it.
"This is what I should do." Hua'er said in a tone of taking it for granted and feeling that the witch Ruonan is meddling.
Wonderful woman Ruonan
"Grandpa, taste it quickly, if it tastes good." After serving Zhu Ping'an to wash his hands and face, Hua'er graciously served Zhu Ping'an with food, waiting for a commendation certificate.
"Well, it's delicious, not bad, and the craftsmanship has really improved." Zhu Pingan took a sip and gave it a thumbs up without hesitation.
Immediately, Huaer was super satisfied.
