"Sir, if you don't help, I will have no way to live." The woman waited nearby for a few days, and the money was almost spent. On weekdays, these adults were all riding on horse-drawn carriages, and she couldn't figure out who to stop.

Later, I had no choice but to come around the palace early this morning. In such a cold weather, those who even enter the palace must be high-ranking officials.

I happened to see Zhao Pu coming out of the palace, dressed like a rich man, how could the woman be willing to let go easily? This morning, she came out like this, and if she waited, she might freeze to death.

Zhao Pu struggled desperately, but the woman hugged her tighter and just squeezed into the cloak. She was thin and the cloak was warm. As she kept procrastinating, Zhao Pu felt that she had reacted. What's the matter?

"Sir, you must help me." The woman felt the things that were pressing on her face, and she was too ashamed, but she couldn't let go, and said with her head looking up at Zhao Pu.

"Tell me, what's going on." The dirty hair was not clean, but her appearance was excellent. Zhao Pu became a little stronger, but his heart softened instead.

"The little woman's husband's surname is Lu. She was originally a wealthy family in the south of the city. Last year..." The lady hugged Zhao Pu's legs and said one after another. When she was wronged, she burst into tears. She grabbed Zhao Pu's pants and wiped it on her face. As a result, she just grabbed the critical point. Zhao Pu couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. This was so exciting, it was on the street at the gate of the palace.

The woman also felt it was inappropriate, so she quickly let go and continued to talk.

Zhao Pu could understand it. The woman originally ran a restaurant with her husband, and her family was quite wealthy. As a result, last year, her husband returned to his hometown in the countryside to worship his ancestors. Somehow, he fell ill and disappeared.

When the woman received the news, she rushed over and was buried. The woman was very sad, but she did not doubt that she was there. After all, her hometown was full of his uncles and cousins.

The woman was heartbroken and had no intention of running a restaurant. The business was getting worse and worse. Later, she simply planned to close the restaurant and sell the shop, so she went to her parents' home.

As a result, the uncle and brother from the countryside of Lu came and said that the restaurant was his Lu family's property and she had no right to deal with it. They also invited officials and swept her out directly. The woman relied on a little jewelry on her body to sell some money to make a living.

She wanted to sue countless times and went to Kaifeng government office, but when she saw the official who had been to the restaurant, she certainly believed it. She just wanted to find a high-ranking official, as the opera said. But she was a woman and was thin-skinned after all, and she had no food today, so she had to fight and ignore it.

"You let go first, I will definitely give you an explanation." Zhao Pu felt that if he continued to rub like this, he would be unable to bear it.

"I don't know yet what an official lord is. Can he make the decision for the common woman?" The woman blushed, and she left her head a little, and hugged her less tightly.

"I am the Privy Councilor and Minister of War, and is one of the largest ones." Zhao Pu tidied up his clothes and felt quite contented.

"How about it compared to the prefect of Kaifeng?" The woman looked at Zhao Pu with hope. Her strategy was right and she really stopped a high-ranking official.

"Cough, it's almost the same, why do you ask this?" Zhao Pu was choked. Now the prefect is still in the title of Ping Zhangshi, the subordinate of the Secretariat, and is considered half a prime minister, and at most the same level.

"The Kaifeng Prefecture Prime Minister is not right or wrong, so please let the adults decide." The woman heard that the same thing, and she stuck even tighter. Anyway, she was relying on this adult.

"You can't say this nonsense. The official you are talking about is definitely not the prefect. Our prefect is the emperor's younger brother, you can see it casually?" Zhao Pu was startled. How could this be better if Zhao Guangyi heard it?

"The private woman doesn't understand, please make the decision." The woman looked up and stared at Zhao Pu pitifully.

"Go and check the shop first and then make a conclusion." Zhao Pu really couldn't do this master, so he had to let Zhao Guangyi come. But this case was originally a mess, because the woman had no children and could not inherit the family business, and it was normal for her to be seized by someone from the family.

"I heard that my husband was killed by them." The woman mustered up the courage to say that she had heard this before, but she had not seen the corpse and was alone, how could she be able to fight them?

"What? Take this seriously?" Zhao Pu was shocked. This was too cruel. Is it as for a shop?

"When I worshiped my ancestors, my husband didn't want to go back because he was not very compatible with those uncles and brothers. He had already come to the city with his father and could not talk about any relationship. When he asked him to go back, he heard that a juren had a family, one for worshiping his ancestors, and the other for collecting some money, and wanted to go around and donate an official." The woman remembered what her husband said before and told Zhao Pu one by one.

This makes sense. If a juren wants to donate an official, he will spend a lot of money. If he can't take it out, he will definitely find a way from them. After all, they have industries in Kaifeng.

"Let's go and check the shop first." Zhao Pu suddenly remembered that he was looking for a shop, so he might as well go and check it out. If he could handle this, he might be able to win both money and sex.

"Did the sir agree?" The woman was overjoyed and stared at Zhao Pu.

"I just agreed to ask about this matter. The specific result must be seen. We have to follow the rules." Zhao Pu is also an old official, so how can he believe her one-sided words?

"The civilian woman has no false words." The woman hurriedly promised.

"Then get up and go to the shop first." Zhao Pu believed the woman's words a little.

The woman let go of her hands and got up from the ground, trembling with cold, but it was still warm in Zhao Pu's cloak.

Zhao Pu looked at the woman's thin clothes and wanted to go back to the house to pick up some clothes, but he was afraid that Wei would come to the bottom of the matter, so he simply took off his cloak and put it on the woman.

"Sir, how did this make it happen?" the woman hurriedly refused.

"It's okay, I just lend it to you and lead the way." Zhao Pu waved his hand. He was wearing a cotton coat, but it was fine, not very cold.

The two walked towards the south of the city while walking and communicating. It was basically Zhao Pu who asked. The woman said that the woman's hometown is from Chenzhou, whose surname was Yao, and she called Tingzhi. Her deceased husband, who went on a business trip in his early years, met her in Chenzhou, so the central matchmaker came to her, which made this marriage. Later, they settled in Kaifeng.

"Is this going to Zhuque Street?" As Zhao Pu walked, more and more people on the road gradually became more lively, much more lively than the palace. From time to time, children laughed, chased and played.

"That shop is on Zhuque Street." Yao Tingzhi nodded. The shop was earned by his husband's father. He originally thought that she and his husband could point to the restaurant and have no worries about food and clothing, but unexpectedly ended up like this.

Zhao Pu suddenly looked forward to it. The Zhuque Street is located in the south of Kaifeng City and leads to the Zhuque Gate. It is the one in the middle of the three city gates south of Kaifeng.

"Sir, we're here!" Yao Tingzhi said, pointing to the shop not far away.

Zhao

Puji looked at the shop and said that the signboard should have just been picked. Now I can see someone busy inside. It should be redesigning it, and I don’t know what kind of business to do.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Pu grabbed Yao Tingzhi, and why did he suddenly fall to the ground?

"Sir, I haven't eaten anything for more than a day, I must be so hungry." Yao Tingzhi held her dizzy head. She still ate two steamed buns for breakfast yesterday, but she never ate anything again. It's cold and cold, how can she stand it?

"Come on, go there to eat something first." Zhao Pu held the weak Yao Tingzhi and glanced at the shop not far away. The big pot stove outside the door was steaming, so there should be ready-made food.

Yao Tingzhi was dizzy and leaned against Zhao Pu's arms. There were people coming and going on the streets. Zhao Pu could only try his best to control himself and not lose his demeanor.

"Oh, isn't this the Lu family's wife?" The restaurant opened an old couple. When the old woman saw the visitor, she hurriedly greeted her. The business was much slower in the snow. As a result, when she saw that the unkempt woman was the owner of the restaurant opposite, she immediately spoke.

"Miss Yu, it's me, long time no see you." Yao Tingzhi forced herself to leave Zhao Pu, holding the edge of the table and said. They can't talk about having friendship, but they don't have any grudges. They just know each other. Restaurants and such roadside restaurants are not in competition.

"I'll tell you..." Aunt Yu likes to ask about these family matters on weekdays. Now she sees Yao Tingzhi, the true master, and the soul of the gossip is burning.

"You woman, I don't know much about it. Go and add firewood." The old man stepped forward and slapped the old woman on the back, asking her to do her work.

"Customer, what do you want to eat?" After the old man said that, he turned around and looked at Zhao Pu, quite respectful. This man was wearing a cotton jacket, and now he is in Kaifeng. He is either rich or noble, and the cloak worn by the Lu family's wife is not something that ordinary people can have. Anyway, the Lu family in the past decided that there was no such thing.

"You are good at it, just go on it quickly." Zhao Pu looked at this small shop, but he didn't care much about it. He just ate some cushions, mainly because the Lu family's wife was so hungry that she was about to faint.

"Okay, come soon." The old man took off the rag from his shoulder, wiped all the tables and stools quickly, signaling them to sit down, then turned around to the stove, grabbed a handful of noodles and put them in the pot.

Then I picked up a piece of mutton from the pot, picked up a kitchen knife and started to slice it. When the mutton was cut, the noodles in the pot were almost done. Put seasonings in a large bowl, pick up the noodles, and put them on top of them. The mutton noodles are ready.

"Well, this mutton is good." Zhao Pu smelled it. It was a good food.

"Please use it slowly, please." The old man smiled. Even if he knew that the other party had a very special identity, he had no possibility of clinging to him. He just wanted not to offend him.

As for Yao Tingzhi, she had already picked up the chopsticks and ate them in big mouthfuls. She was really hungry.

"Eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you." Zhao Pu picked up the chopsticks and started eating slowly. In the past, he was eating voraciously, but now it is not possible. Even the officials have begun to pay attention to their image and have to chew it slowly.

This mutton is cooked well. It can be eaten easily by chewing it in the mouth and it has no strong smell.

Yao Tingzhi seemed to have not heard it. After taking a few bites, he became more energetic and moved faster. Zhao Pu had just eaten a little half, and Yao Tingzhi finished the soup.
