Harem Daily Life

The Yan State delegation left the capital of the Great Zhou, pulling several carts of goods, but they were all cloth, fine wine, tea, etc. When they arrived at the city gate, they were quickly inspected and allowed to pass.

Not long after, the carriage of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery also joined the team leaving the city.

The soldiers guarding the city came forward to check: "What is that thing on the cart?"

The attendant of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion stepped forward and said, "My fellow soldiers, this is the family of the current Concubine De. The troops of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion are sending farm tools to the farm outside the city to open up wasteland."

The soldiers went forward to take a look and saw that they were indeed some iron farm tools, but the number was obviously a bit too much. The attendant saw that the soldiers would not let him go, and said anxiously: "The manor of the Loyal and Brave Marquis is originally large, and His Majesty has just rewarded a piece of raw land. We have to hurry to level it. If you have any questions, wait for my Marquis to come over, or let him talk to you again?"

When the attendants mentioned the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, the soldiers guarding the city were indeed a little afraid.

"Alright, alright, let's go." As the soldier finished speaking, the carriage of the Loyal and Brave Marquis approached.

A deep voice came from the carriage: "Why haven't you checked it yet?" The tone was very unpleasant.

When the soldiers guarding the city heard this, they immediately straightened their backs, with awe on their faces. The leading soldier hurried forward and said with a smile: "My Lord, this is just a routine inspection. We will let you go now." Then he waved his hand, signaling the other soldiers to make way.

The loyal and brave marquis slowly opened the carriage curtain, revealing a cold and majestic face. He glanced at the soldiers around him, his sharp eyes made the soldiers shudder. "Humph, it's a good thing to check more carefully in the future, but don't delay the business." The loyal and brave marquis said coldly.

The soldiers nodded quickly in agreement, not daring to breathe.

The Loyal and Brave Marquis lowered the curtain and the carriage started slowly. But just as the carriage was about to drive out of the city gate, a soldier suddenly seemed to remember something and whispered to the person next to him: "There are so many farm tools, will there be any problems? And the Loyal and Brave Marquis's carriage has not been inspected yet!"

As soon as he said this, he was glared at by the leading soldier: "Don't talk nonsense, he is the Marquis of Zhongyong, and his daughter is the Consort of Virtue, what's the problem, shut up."

The soldier shrank his neck and dared not say anything. He watched the convoy of the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis' Mansion drive out of the city gate.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you just going to let them go like this?"

Jiang Yingying, who was dressed as an old woman, looked unwilling. Looking at the backs of the Yan State envoys and the people from the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion walking away, she couldn't help but raise her voice a little and said indignantly: "We have been watching them for so long! We have spent so much time and energy, but in the end we did nothing and let them go so easily? Isn't this letting a tiger go back to the mountain?"

Jiang Yingying said that she couldn't figure out the answer to this question.

Beside her, Qi Yizheng, who was dressed as an old man, stroked his gray beard and said calmly, "You can see that the things are hidden in the Rong family's team. The Rong family has a hundred thousand troops. What can we do? Now we know that the Rong family is indeed colluding with the Yan State. We have solid evidence. There is no need to be on edge and expose the Rong family for some farm tools and ordinary weapons that can be bought everywhere."

After he finished speaking, he took Jiang Yingying's hand and said, "Come on, old man, I'll take you to eat the preserved vegetable meat pie at the corner of the street. That's the one I loved eating since I was a child. The taste is very authentic."

When Jiang Yingying heard that there was food there and it had been open for so many years, her eyes lit up, she lost interest in investigating the case, and followed Qi Yizheng.

A middle-aged couple was running the Meicai Meat Pie Shop. The man was making the pie while the woman was clearing the table and serving soy milk. Qi Yizheng and Jiang Yingying each ordered five pie and four bowls of soy milk, then found a seat and sat down.

Soon, the crispy and delicious freshly made preserved vegetable meat patties were served, and the two of them devoured them with relish.

"Well, it tastes really good. The cooking skills are amazing!" Jiang Yingying praised.

Qi Yizheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I know all the good food and fun places in Beijing. When I was not on duty, I loved walking around the streets looking for good food. I can be called a walking map of Beijing's food."

Jiang Yingying looked at him with sparkling eyes: "Then... take me to eat all over Beijing."

Qi Yizheng choked and subconsciously touched his purse, saying embarrassedly: "How about we make an appointment after the next salary is paid?" He worked hard to earn some money, but apart from giving it to his parents to subsidize the household expenses, the rest was almost all spent on food. He still owes some money on the account of his sister's shop. If this goes on, when will the wedding take place?

He looked at Jiang Yingying, whose face was full of wrinkles, and thought that it would be nice if they could still eat all over the world together when they were old.

Suddenly, Jiang Yingying picked up the chopsticks on the table and shot them directly at a man. The man screamed and fell to the ground with his bleeding hand. A purse in his hand fell to the ground. A woman not far away hurried forward to pick up the purse: "Isn't this my purse? How did it get into your hand?"

The woman looked left and right and saw that it was indeed her purse. Then she realized that the person in front of her was a thief.

"Well, you are so young and yet you are idle. You dare to steal my purse. I will beat you to death!" The woman started scratching him without saying a word. The thief's hand was injured and he could not resist, so he ran away in panic.

Qi Yizheng looked at Jiang Yingying suspiciously: "You have sharp eyes, so sharp that you can identify thieves in a crowd?"

Jiang Yingying lowered her eyes. She was from this industry, how could she not know?

She smiled and said, "I just happened to see him stealing, so I'm here to help him."

After saying that, seeing that they had almost finished eating, she took Qi Yizheng back. She was still a little uncomfortable with such an old face.

The two walked to the entrance of an alley, and suddenly a group of people rushed out. Among the crowd, the thief who was injured by Jiang Yingying before was among them.

"Boss, it was this old woman who ruined my business, otherwise I would have got the purse long ago!" The thief pointed at Jiang Yingying and complained.

The man he called the boss spat and tilted his neck and said, "You dare to hit Brother Fei's men? It seems you don't want to live! Brothers, taking someone's money is like killing their parents. Come on, beat this old woman to a pulp!"

At the command, a group of young men came towards Jiang Yingying and the other person with sticks.

Qi Yizheng snorted coldly, pushed Jiang Yingying back, and stepped forward to kick.

I saw a group of seven or eight people, each of them was kicked in the body, and soon they all fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

"Hero, please spare my life, hero, please spare my life. We were blind and offended you. H hopes you can spare my life!" The leader who called himself Brother Fei quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

At this time, a team of patrol officers came over. They saw a fight going on and came to take a look.

Qi Yizheng took out the token, and the officer immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, General Qi, for catching all these thieves in one fell swoop. We will take them away right away."

Brother Fei was anxious and begged for mercy: "Sir, please spare my life! My eldest brother, Mr. Jiang, the number one thief in the underworld, has paid the protection fee. You can't arrest us!"

Qi Yizheng and Jiang Yingying were both stunned.
