Quick Transmigration: Why Did You Provoke Her? She's got a cheat code!

Chapter 78 The Alluring Imperial Master (13)

Mingyue, who came back from a round of shopping, saw Zhang Wen waiting at the door, her red lips slightly raised, "Zhang Duwei, do you want to see me if you need anything?"

Zhang Wen's face was stern, "I originally wanted to treat you to a dust-cleansing banquet, but the city's food supply is tight and there really isn't any good food. I hope your master will bear with me."

"It's okay, I'm not picky about food." Mingyue said calmly: "Shen Yu, go and ask General Ji to come and have dinner with us. Zhang Duwei is treating us."

Shen Yu saluted Zhang Wen and turned around to leave.

Zhang Wen was not surprised. When he saw Mingyue's smiling eyes, he was startled and quickly led the way, "My lord, please come this way."

"Zhang Duwei is really poor. There are not many servants and maids in the mansion."

Zhang Wen sighed, "The salary from the imperial court is not enough for me to hire people to serve me. It's enough."

Mingyue snorted and asked curiously, "That's right. By the way, I saw a house going south. It was built magnificently. It says Zhang Mansion. Which store in Huaizhou is it?"

"That one belongs to Zhang's rice connoisseur. He often does some good deeds. Yesterday he was doing good deeds by giving porridge at the city gate."

"Can you make a recommendation?"

Zhang Wen had a sincere smile on his face, "Of course you can. I will ask the servant to make an appointment at Zhang's house today, and I will personally accompany him then."

After Mingyue sat down, "Then I'll trouble Lieutenant Zhang Du."

"What's the point? As long as the court doesn't forget the people in our city and is willing to distribute disaster relief food, everything else is a trivial matter."

Zhang Wen lamented that he was also sitting there, his voice full of loneliness, "These people have lived a hard life. They look forward to harvesting the food they plant all year round. How could they have imagined that we would encounter three consecutive years of drought."

"It's also me, Captain Du, who is incompetent. Otherwise, how could they live a miserable life?"

Mingyue patted Zhang Wen on the shoulder, "Zhang Duwei has done a good job. Come on, let's eat first without waiting for General Ji."

"I heard it from afar. Sir, why didn't you wait for me when you called me to have dinner with you?"

Ji Yongan shouted loudly and saw Zhang Wen and Mingyue, "Zhang Duwei, don't your family come to eat together?"

Mingyue also looked at Zhang Wen after hearing this.When Zhang Wen heard this, he sighed even louder, "My wife couldn't bear the suffering and had already taken her children back to her parents' home. The father and mother at home live in the yard and are self-sufficient."

Mingyue said in surprise, "The old man and the old lady are really leisurely and elegant."

Zhang Wen stroked his beard teasingly, "When we are getting old, can we, as children, stop us?"

Everyone has their own thoughts on eating a meal. What Zhang Wen never expected was, how could the Imperial Master be so good at eating?

"Thank you Zhang Duwei for your hospitality. It's getting late, and I'm very tired from the long journey."

There were tears in the corners of Ming Yue's sleepy eyes, and it was rare for her to look like a daughter.

"Then don't disturb your lord."

After Zhang Wen stepped back, Mingyue looked at Ji Yongan, "Do you have anything else?"

Ji Yongan shook his head.

"Then you won't go?"

Ji Yongan choked and felt helpless, "...let's leave now."

He thought the master wanted to entrust him with something, so he sent him away on purpose.

As night fell, the night wind rustled the leaves in the yard, and a paper tube pierced the window of the room where Mingyue was, blowing out a wisp of white smoke.

Mingyue was sitting on the bridge, and Zhang Wen was decisive. Taking advantage of people's relaxed vigilance and fatigue, he arranged the assassination just as he said.

The door of the room was pushed open with a creak. A man in black knelt on his feet, holding a dagger and reached the bedside. He lifted the quilt and found only one pillow.

The man in black immediately retreated and prepared to jump out of the window, only to see Mingyue playing with the jade beads and looking at him with a half-smile.
