Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 547

547 The mastermind behind the scenes that surfaced (big chapter) _

Wang zhenwen was the Grand Secretary of the Imperial Library, so it was only natural that the Imperial Library became the direct office of the Grand Secretary and other officials.

In the hall, the white-haired Wang zhenwen, who was dressed in a red robe, was working at his desk. The other civil officials were busy with their own tasks. Occasionally, there would be soft discussions, but overall, it was quiet and harmonious.

When they met with a disagreement, the Civil officials would go to the side hall and have a big quarrel to determine the winner. However, when scholars quarreled, usually no one could convince the other.

In the end, the higher-ups would have to make a decision.

“Lord first assistant, miss simu is here and she wants to see you.” An official on duty outside the door entered quietly and spoke in a low voice.

Chief advisor Wang’s Pen paused, and the ink suddenly split on the paper and turned into a ball of ink.

How did she enter the palace ... What was she doing in the inner Pavilion ... Two doubts appeared in chief advisor Wang’s mind.

The Wenyuan Pavilion was on the east side of the palace, but it was not within the palace’s high walls. However, in the plan, it belonged to the palace. It was heavily guarded outside, and unauthorized people could not enter.

The daughter of the chief advisor was also among the “miscellaneous people.”

“Disappeared ... Let her in through the back door, I’ll wait for her in the side hall.” Wang shoufu put down his brush, put one hand behind his back and the other on his abdomen, and left the inner hall calmly to the side hall.

After waiting in the side hall for a few minutes, the quiet and generous Wang simu came in with a lunchbox. She placed it gently on the table and called out sweetly, “”Father!”

With a straight face, Wang shoufu grunted and said unhappily, “”Didn’t you go on a lake tour with your close friends? what are you doing in the inner Pavilion? who brought you into the palace?”

Wang si mu smiled and unhurriedly opened the lunchbox, holding out a bowl of fresh and fragrant fish soup. His voice was soft and gentle.

“When we were swimming in the lake, daughter saw that the carp in the lake were fat and beautiful, so she let people catch a few. He took it back to the manor when it was at its most alive and personally made fish soup for his father.

“Father is busy with work, you should take care of your health and drink more nourishing soup.”

Chief advisor Wang’s face turned gentle. He sniffed the delicious aroma and took a small sip. He immediately showed a look of enjoyment and praised, ”

“The fish soup is mixed with chicken essence. It’s really a delicacy. The Imperial astronomer developing this is a great blessing to the people.”

After the eunuch SI’s chicken essence entered the market, it immediately gained the pursuit of all social classes. Today, the high officials and wealthy families in the capital, as well as the merchants and wealthy families, could not eat without chicken essence.

The commoners would occasionally splatter some of it into their dishes to enhance the taste.

It had been many years since Wang zhenwen had seen the Directorate of Celestials develop something so good.

“I’ve heard a rumor before that this chicken spirit wasn’t actually made by the Directorate of Celestials,” Wang simu said. It was someone else.”

“Someone else?” Wang zhenwen was taken aback.

Wang simu laughed,”I heard from His Highness Lin ‘an that the real person who developed the chicken spirit was the silver Gong Xu Qi’ an. Si Tian Jian merely made some improvements ..”

Wang zhenwen didn’t pay much attention to such a small matter. When he heard his daughter say this, he was stunned for a moment and didn’t take a sip for a long time.

“This kid is extremely smart and talented ...” Wang zhenwen sighed, shook his head, and continued to drink the fish soup.

Wang si mu continued to chat, ” I originally wanted to let the palace guards send the fish soup to you, but who knew that I would meet His Highness of Lin ‘an on the way, so I followed her into the palace.

At this point, Wang zhenwen had finished answering his two questions.

Wang simu did not wait for Wang zhenwen to finish his fish soup. She stood up and bade him farewell.”Father, drink slowly. Remember to bring the bowl back when you’re done. Women are forbidden from entering the Wen Yuan Pavilion, so I won’t stay any longer.”

The last question was answered-

Wang zhenwen smiled and said in a gentle tone,”Go back. I know mu ‘er’s filial piety.”

Father, this old fox, is too difficult to deal with. It’s really tiring to play mind games with him ... Wang simu heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She smiled sweetly and turned to leave the side hall. However, she did not really leave Wen Yuan Pavilion. Instead, she beckoned to the servant girl waiting outside.

The maidservant quickly walked over with another lunchbox. Then, the master and servant pair went to the office of another grand scholar.

..........

In another side hall, Wang si mu placed the lunchbox on the table, held out a bowl of fragrant fish soup, and said with a smile, “”Uncle Qian, when I went to the lake today, I saw that the fish in the lake were very fat and delicious, so I had people catch a few and make fish soup for you and father.”

Qian Qingshu was a tall and thin old man. Unlike the dignified and calm Wang zhenwen, he had a more gentle and casual temperament, making people feel that he was an elder who was easy to get along with.

Qian Qingshu and Wang zhenwen were classmates and good friends. They were also Jinshi in the same batch. In terms of results, Qian Aowen was the top student back then. Wang zhenwen was second place and was later chosen to enter the Hanlin Academy to become a commoner.

seeking resources from above, the Minister ruins the tree; seeking fish from above, the Minister dries up the valley ... It’s a delicacy since ancient times.” Qian Qingshu took a bite, and his eyes lit up.”MMM, it’s good.”

When he was busy with work, he could rest and drink a bowl of fish soup. It was a pleasure!

“I heard that Xu Huiyuan from the spring examination was imprisoned for cheating in the imperial examination?” Wang simu pretended to be curious.

Qian Qingshu’s expression paused for a moment before he slowly nodded. “The newly appointed inspector Zuo impeached the East Court Grand Secretary, Zhao tingfang, for accepting bribes and leaking the topic to Xu New Year.

and Xu niannian’s ‘a difficult journey’ was not written by him. It was written by his cousin, Xu Qi ‘an.

Xu Huiyuan’s poem was written by Xu Qi ‘an? This matter even involved the East Pavilion Grand Secretary, Zhao tingfang ... Wang simu’s expression changed slightly as various thoughts flashed through her mind. She restrained her expression and asked, ”
