After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

After selling all the sugar-roasted chestnuts, Cheng Xiaohu bought some more goods in the capital and set off again, this time joining a small caravan to Shangzhou Prefecture.

Qian Fengping watched and thought that she really had to find a wife for Xiaohu from Beijing, otherwise he would have few opportunities to return to the village after traveling back and forth for the two children.

Fang Nanzhi taught himself medical skills every day, went to Mr. Deng to study, did business in the mall, and the rest was to go to the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture.

I want to know if Chen Yong has arrived in Beijing.

Several times, the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture saw her when he left the yamen.

Fang Nanzhi said hello obediently and left.

Shao Yin found it interesting and stopped the man that day.

"Ahem, Miss Fang, would you mind my treating you to some wontons?"

Not far away, there is a wonton stall.

"Okay." Fang Nanzhi has never been a shy person.

The two went to the wonton stall and ordered two bowls of wontons and a plate of side dishes.

"The wontons here are very different. They're made using the Sichuan method, with red oil and chili sauce. I wonder if Miss Fang can get used to it?"

Zhu Guanfeng, the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, said with a smile.

Fang Nanzhi was a little surprised: "Does Master Zhu come here to eat often?"

She thought that the adults looked down on street snacks, but she was generalizing and being narrow-minded.

"Well, after all, it's closest to the government office." Zhu Guanfeng is very down-to-earth.

Fang Nanzhi picked up a wonton with a spoon, blew on it to remove the hot air, and then took a bite.

The aroma of chili peppers mixed with the meat filling and dough burst in Fang Nanzhi's mouth, and her mouth turned red instantly, but it was indeed delicious.

She kept talking about this. Zhu Guanfeng felt that this little girl was very careless and he didn't know how Lord Fang taught his children.

"Miss Fang comes to the yamen every day, waiting for Chen Yong. Do you want to help him overturn the case?"

Fang Nanzhi raised an eyebrow: "How do you know?"

Every time she came, she just looked around and stayed for a while, but she didn't ask anyone anything.

Zhu Guanfeng found it amusing: "Is it that hard to guess? Could it be that there is someone in Jingzhao Prefecture who is attractive to Miss Fang?"

Fang Nanzhi thought so too.

"It's not even helpful. When it happened, I wasn't around. I don't even know the inside story, so I can't get involved for now."

She tells the truth.

"Oh? If you just want to know about the case, Miss Fang can come to me." Zhu Guanfeng looked sincere.

Fang Nanzhi looked at him carefully and always felt that he was like a fox, wagging its tail, waiting to hook her.

In short, there must be something wrong with such enthusiasm.

She shook her head.

"Eighteen years ago, Master Zhu was still a child, right?"

I'm afraid they didn't even enter the court.

"But Jingzhao Prefecture has all the files. Miss Fang, would you like to take a look?" Zhu Guanfeng threw out the bait again.

I have to say, Fang Nanzhi was quite moved.

The things my second uncle got and what my brother asked were not comprehensive.

What is written in the files of Jingzhao Prefecture is the real thing.

But she was very curious: "Master Zhu, isn't this against the rules?"

"Yes, as long as Miss Fang doesn't tell me, I don't think anyone will know." Zhu Guanfeng still smiled.

Fang Nanzhi didn't even dare to eat wontons now. They were not related in any way. The last time he met Lord Zhu, he was not so attentive.

"Ahem, Master Zhu, I'm still a child. If you have anything to say, you'd better be direct, otherwise I won't understand."

Zhu Guanfeng curled the corners of his lips, thinking that this little girl was quite smart.

This was meant to say that she was young and to warn him not to bully the weak.

Secondly, I asked about his purpose.

Very smart.

"I don't have many friends, just two, and it just so happens that both of them have some connection with you."

Fang Nanzhi looked at him quietly, waiting for what to say next.

"One of them is named Deng."

Zhu Guanfeng spoke slowly.

Fang Nanzhi's eyes widened. "Are you Mr. Deng's friend? Mr. Deng actually has a friend like you?"

"Hahaha!"

These two sentences made Zhu Guanfeng laugh out loud.

"If Mr. Deng knew his apprentice was talking about him behind his back, he would probably be angry."

Fang Nanzhi was embarrassed. How could he have accidentally said what was in his heart?

Although Mr. Deng has a noble character, he is a person who does his own thing. He likes to speak his mind, whether to close people or strangers.

Frequently teasing others.

She always felt that Mr. Deng’s only friend was Mr. Zheng, and the reason why their friendship lasted so long was because they were far apart and distance creates beauty.

I didn’t expect that there would be Mr. Zhu.

"I hope you don't misunderstand me. I'm just too surprised. My husband has a noble character and great talent, so it's not difficult for him to make friends."

She tried to make amends.

Zhu Guanfeng laughed even more happily.

"He is one of the most talented people in the capital, but unfortunately, with his temper, others can't stand more than three words from him."

"I am on good terms with him, thanks to my generosity and my ability to tolerate him."

Fang Nanzhi listened with half belief and half doubt.

How could the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture be without temper?

But she didn't want to cause an argument, so she cleverly changed the subject.

"I'm afraid Mr. Deng is unwilling to get involved in miscellaneous matters."

Mr. Deng doesn't even want to be an official. He indulges in pleasure, mountains and rivers, and poetry. How could he care about Chen Yong?

"Indeed, he never told me about this." Zhu Guanfeng was a little surprised. This little girl was indeed smart and not easy to fool.

"I have another friend who is very interested in this case and would like to meet you. I wonder if Fang Nanzhi would be willing to meet you?"

Fang Nanzhi knew that this was the key point.

She was silent for a while. There were many people in Beijing who were paying attention to this case, both openly and secretly, and many people wanted to contact her, the daughter of Chen Zixi.

For a moment, she really couldn't guess it.

"Master Zhu, the wontons are delicious, but I have to go home, otherwise my parents will worry."

Fang Nanzhi said obediently.

Now she looks like a simple and lovely girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.

Zhu Guanfeng watched her put down her chopsticks and said, "My friend is one of the people in Beijing who knows Chen Zixi best."

"There are only two people like him in the entire capital. One is Princess Mingzhu, and the other is him."

Fang Nanzhi was completely moved.

She really wanted to understand her mother.

Even if it is not related to the case, she is very interested in her mother's past and wants to know how she lived and what kind of person she was.

After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Lord Zhu is the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture. He should be able to guarantee the safety of a commoner like me."

Zhu Guanfeng laughed out loud again, tears coming out.

Finally, he said, "Don't worry. I guarantee that not a single hair of yours will be lost. Otherwise, I'm afraid Lord Fang will sue me."

Just like that, Fang Nanzhi and Zhu Guanfeng left.

The carriage stopped in front of the restaurant. Fang Nanzhi jumped off the carriage and looked up at the sign. It turned out to be Wanbaolou?

She followed him all the way to the third-floor box, and wondered if Lord Zhu also had a token.

There was a "crunch".

The door was pushed open and there were two men in the box.

A handsome middle-aged uncle and a young man with a gentle temperament.

"Please sit down!"

The middle-aged man's gaze passed Zhu Guanfeng and fell directly on Fang Nanzhi.

The two of them sat at opposite sides of the table.

Seeing that his friend was still staring at the girl, Zhu Guanfeng had to cough twice.
