Chapter 414 Mushroom Stewed Chicken and Chicken Soup Noodles (6)

Although I have never met the noodle shop owner and his wife before, this meeting must be different...

It's really not the same.

Early the next morning, accompanied by Liang Hongjin, who was worried, Wen Mingtang came to the noodle shop. The noodle shop couple had already put up a sign in front of the noodle shop that they would not be open today. They put their hands in their arms and stood there with half-smiling smiles. Someone is waiting at the door.

When they saw Liang Hongjin and Wen Mingtang beside her, the expressions on the couple's faces froze. Apparently they had never thought that the "old friend named Wen" mentioned by Liang Hongjin was actually Wen Mingtang.

When they approached the couple, the couple smiled and said, "It turns out to be Master Wen. His surname is indeed Wen. That's right."

When they were chatting earlier, they had known that Wen Mingtang was the chef of Dali Temple's public chef, and his surname was Wen, but they didn't expect it... The two of them looked at the girl in front of them who was dressed inconspicuously, and their eyes fell on the girl's thick bangs. He looked at the rather delicate face carefully, as if trying to find similarities between this face and the face in his memory.

Wen Mingtang just smiled at the two people's careful and careful gazes. After the two of them looked at each other for a while, he slowly spoke and said, "My little girl Wen Mingtang, my father's surname is Wen and my name is Xuance."

As soon as she said this, the expressions of the couple who were still looking at her tentatively suddenly froze, and they looked at her in disbelief. The woman in the headscarf moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but After all, the words came to my lips but they didn't come out.

On the other hand, Liang Hongjin couldn't hold it in any longer, patted her chest, and assured: "Whether what she said is true, you two can find out if you go to Dali Temple and pick up anyone at random. Or, just go find that person." Du Lingmou is also successful, hehe, he has sent people to find trouble for Xiao Mingtang many times before!"

When Liang Hongjin mentioned the words "Du Lingmou", the couple's expressions changed again. After Liang Hongjin finished speaking, they looked at Wen Mingtang eagerly and asked: "How did Miss Wen escape back then?" Have you survived?"

"When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will release those who have left the palace." Before Wen Mingtang could speak, Liang Hongjin answered for her, "Xiao Mingtang was too young back then and was not sent to the Jiaofang. Instead, he was sent to Yeting. .”

Hearing this, the couple heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's a blessing..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Liang Hongjin's "Bah" sound: "What a blessing! What a good place is Yeting? Not to mention that Xiao Mingtang was specially 'authorized to take care of' by Du Lingmou. He was punished by starvation. It was a common occurrence that he drowned within half a month of entering the palace. When he was rescued, he had already run out of breath. If it were not for his fate, the Lord of Hell couldn't bear it and let him back. Now he doesn't know if he could still stand here and talk to him. You two talk."

When she said this, Liang Hongjin's voice was obviously angry. When the couple heard that Du Lingmou specifically "authorized taking care of" Wen Mingtang, their expressions froze, and then a trace of regret and self-blame flashed across their faces. Liang Hongjin couldn't see this expression, but she just snorted coldly and was unmoved: "I didn't see you when I was sent to Yeting, I didn't see you when I drowned, and I didn't see you when I entered the hell gate. You guys, I didn’t see you when I was being made difficult for, and you are all out of the palace, so there is no point in coming here to regret and blame yourself!”

This was really not a pleasant thing to say. The couple was reprimanded and their faces turned red. The woman in the headscarf murmured and explained: "We didn't know anything at the time. We only received the news that Mr. Wen sent someone to send us. He said that everyone in the Wen family is dead, and told me and I to return to Jiangnan quickly, and not to ask for information, and not to return to Beijing again within ten years."

"Wen Xuance himself is locked up in the prison waiting to be interrogated. How can he still deliver news to you two?" In response, Liang Hongjin just rolled her eyes, obviously not believing what the two of them said, "He is so powerful. Why don't you two bribe some killers and just rob the prison?"

As soon as these words came out, the man immediately said: "The two of us had this plan back then. Mr. Wen seemed to have a premonition before the incident and summoned the two of us to say that something might happen to the Wen family. Ask the two of us to return to Jiangnan quickly, and then he will order someone to bring a handwritten letter to the two of us, and the two of us will act according to what he said in the letter..."

"Where is the letter?" Liang Hongjin interrupted him unceremoniously and stretched out her hand to them both, "Where is the letter?"

The couple murmured: "...burn it, Mr. Wen said it will be burned after reading."

"So there is no proof?" Liang Hongjin sneered, folded her arms and looked at the two of them, "You two..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wen Mingtang.

"Maybe what they said is true." Wen Mingtang said, looking up at the two of them, "I saw them in the kitchen before."

The kitchen is also in the backyard. Although it is several yards away from where the Wen family lives, ordinary people cannot live without three meals a day. They are always hungry. When he went to the kitchen to have a look, Wen Mingtang saw him in the kitchen. Those two people, just because they were separated by many years, were much older, and their appearance had some traces of time, so they didn't think of it for a while. Although he didn't think of it immediately, the impression in his memory was still there, so Wen Mingtang felt a little friendly when he saw the two of them for the first time.

However, what made her finally confirm that these two people were those two was the bowl of dried kidney noodles. The taste in her mouth was delicious and familiar. She had eaten it before, and there was an impression in her memory. It seemed like the birthday noodles when she was five years old. This is the taste.

Therefore, there is no doubt that these two people are old friends of the Wen family, and the habit of burning books after reading is also Wen Xuance's. She once heard Wen Xuance reprimanding Mrs. Wen in Mrs. Wen's arms. At that time, Mrs. Wen held the original owner in her arms and faced the husband who reprimanded her loudly. She explained in a gentle voice that she wanted to keep it as a souvenir. Her voice was gentle and human. The beauty who was more delicate than flowers only received a slight cry from Wen Xuance, then turned around and strode away, leaving Mrs. Wen holding the original owner and sobbing.

For Mrs. Wen and the original owner, Wen Xuance was neither a good husband nor a good father. Wen Mingtang sighed quietly, but the thought of remembering the past only lasted for a moment. She looked at the two of them and asked them: "Have you said that?" You are not allowed to return to Beijing within ten years, and the ten years have not yet come, why did you two return to Beijing at this time?"

After hearing this, the couple looked at each other and said to Wen Mingtang and Liang Hongjin, "Because... the late emperor passed away."

"Master Wen once said in his old letter that if the late emperor dies, he will ask us to go to Beijing immediately and keep an eye on Prince Liyang's Mansion." The turbaned lady smiled bitterly and said, "So the two of us opened a noodle shop here. .”

In this way...everything will be explained.

"No wonder the lady went out late at night to get the pendant on the day Zhao Mengzhuo's accident happened!" Wen Mingtang said, his eyes paused on the turbaned lady's unpierced earlobes, and asked the two of them: "I must have gone to Furong Garden that day. , then you can see how Princess Liyang fell and became paralyzed?"
