Chapter 159: Avoid the limelight(1/2)

"We've arrived at Willow Street."

"Just right here."

"yes……"

The little eunuch took out the two food boxes.

The Taoist and the cat both got off the carriage.

"Thank you very much."

"Resign."

With the sound of a whip, the carriage rumbled away again.

It was already late at night, and with the help of starlight, I could barely tell the way. The Taoist lifted up two food boxes, while the cat stared at the door next door with curious eyes.

"Isn't the heroine still asleep?"

The Taoist asked next door.

"Didn't sleep~"

Cat replied.

"Didn't sleep."

There was also an answer from the next door.

Immediately, the door suddenly opened, and the heroine who had just heard the sound of the carriage and had already clung to the door frame to eavesdrop, appeared and stared at them: "Where did you come back from? Why are you still riding in the carriage?"

"Have you eaten, Heroine?"

"Of course I ate it, it's been a while."

"Did you eat well?"

"Porridge and pickles, it's okay." Wu Nuxia sniffed, "What are you carrying?"

"We went out to eat, and I shamelessly packed some food and came back." Song You said and handed over the food box in his hand, "Please give the heroine a try, so that I can repay the delicacies that the heroine had eaten a few days ago."

"Where did you go to pack it?"

Wu Nuxia reached out and took it. Although it was dark and could not be seen clearly, as soon as she took it, she felt something was wrong.

This box must be worth a lot of money.

"Royal Palace."

"What?"

"Then let the heroine have a taste of the emperor's food."

"Let's talk after you come in."

Wu Nuxia turned around and entered the house.

Blow on the fire sticks and light the oil lamp.

The light of the oil lamp quickly came on.

Song You looked at the oil lamp, sniffed, and could smell the obvious smell of oil smoke in the room.

Looking at the ground again, there are many hemp rope-like things, made of hay, very short, and smell like the raw materials usually used to make grass incense. Thinking about it carefully, when I first entered Willow Street, I had a faint feeling.

I saw an invisible light here.

This heroine should have been on the first floor with a lamp lit, probably braiding straw ropes.

However, we can also knit during the day. The reason why we are still knitting so late at night, burning lamps and wasting oil, is that if there is no urgent need, it is because the neighbor has not returned for a long time and dare not sleep, so we are knitting while waiting.

Hearing the sound of cars and horses outside, and there were more than one, she quickly turned off the lights and leaned in front of the door to listen to the sound, showing the vigilance of people in the world.

The Taoist looked away, and the heroine stared at the food box.

"What's the point of the heroine braiding these straw ropes?"

"A match rope, don't you use it?"

"Never used."

"Then what do you use to repel mosquitoes?"

"There are no mosquitoes in Taoist temples."

"Are there no mosquitoes in the mountains?"

"There is nothing in the view."

"That's really a magical place."

"So this is mosquito repellent."

"Yes, summer is here, and there are more and more mosquitoes. If you light this thing, the mosquitoes will stop coming. Just be careful not to burn the house down." Wu Nuxia said, looking at the food box up and down, and saw the surface of it

It was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the light of the oil lamp, revealing a delicate purple-red luster. She gradually opened her eyes wide, "Oh, sandalwood and rosewood."

"Do you recognize the heroine?"

"After all, I've been living in Changjing for so long. Do you think I'm so ignorant?"

"That was never the intention."

"Did you really go to the palace?"

"Don't dare tell lies."

"How did you get into the palace?"

Wu Nuxia stared at him with curious eyes.

If the eunuch and the maid had not sent him back just now, I would have suspected that he had stolen it from the palace using Taoism.

"Because two of our ancestors in Fulongguan had some fate with the Dayan royal family, this time His Majesty heard about my affairs with the Taiwei Mansion and came here to invite me. It just so happened that he was traveling all over the world, and he also wanted to see a lot of the world.

The center of power and the emperor's style, in order to gain more knowledge, I went there." The Taoist was very honest, "During the dinner, I thought that the heroine had been curious about what the emperor eats every day, so she shamelessly asked your majesty to agree to give it to me after eating.

I brought back some dishes that I think taste better or suit the taste of the heroine."

"It turns out that you can still have a relationship with the royal family. No wonder you are so brave."

"almost."

"Fine……"

Wu Nuxia thought about it and was not surprised.

Emperor Dayan liked to make friends with people who were practicing Buddhism. Knowing that a well-connected and virtuous man was in Changjing, it was normal for him to invite him to the palace for a night chat.

"One tael of red sandalwood and one tael of gold. Since those eunuchs and maids didn't bring this box back just now, they will definitely not come to you for it again. If you sell it, you won't have to worry about money in the future."

"You still have to worry."

"I heard that the emperor is as majestic as a god, and ordinary people will tremble when they look at him. Is it true?"

"Fake."

"What does he look like?"

"Just an old man."

"Oh, it smells so good..."

"These are all prepared dishes, not leftovers."

"The Taoist Master is interested."

Wu Nuxia had already opened the food box, brought out the plates of food, and took out the chopsticks from the room.

After a while, the two sat across from each other across the lamp.

One person enjoys the food and the other person talks.

"The matter of the Taiwei seems to be over, but there are many rumors about it among the people in Changjing. I'm afraid there will be unrest for a while."

"yes."

Wu Nuxia couldn't understand. The food was brought from the palace. It was just the right temperature to eat. She ate in a hurry and said: "I heard the rumors outside two days ago. The people heard that inside, although it was too

Wei died after taking poisonous longevity pills, but some people say that he was frightened to death by a Taoist priest. It was also the Taoist who punished the housekeeper and the yamen. It is also said that this Taoist brought a calico cat with him. At that time, the Taiwei Mansion

Just ask this Taoist and the calico cat to get rid of the rats, and we will find you here soon."

After a pause:

"If it were an ordinary Taoist, I would be happy. The business will definitely be very good in the future. No matter how high the price is, people will come. But you, I guess you feel uneasy."

"I have decided to temporarily withdraw the 'exorcism and subduing demons' shop sign and go to the outside of the city to take shelter."

"Oh, what is this? It's so delicious!"

"I don't know, it seems to be made of venison and chicken, fried and steamed."

"Does the emperor eat so delicious every day?"
