    Author: Loving a single flower


    Introduction:


    The Jiang family has two daughters, each of whom is as beautiful as a flower.


    Catch up with the famine season, you must sell one to survive


    Jiang Yunzhu got the shorter branch and was taken away by Ren Yazi.


    Seven years later, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s face was even brighter, she was dressed in rich clothes and surrounded by servants.


    At this time, she is already the young lady of Anping Hou Mansion, so she is naturally extremely honorable.


    It turned out that Ren Yazi sold her to the Marquis of Anping that time.


    But at this time, Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s face was full of wind and frost, worrying about firewood and rice every day.


    After receiving the brocade handed over by her sister, Jiang Yunxiu gritted her teeth and bled, if she was the one who was taken away by human teeth¡­


    Back on the day of drawing lots, Jiang Yunxiu took the short branch first. This time, she wanted to be the master.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled and took the long branch. She thought it was so easy to go from a maid to the Young Madam of the Hou Mansion?


    Note: The wealth and honor in the heroine¡¯s dream is earned by her own struggle, not by being sold.

    Brief comment on the work: Jiang Yunzhu traveled to ancient times, just in time for a famine, and the family had to sell a daughter to survive. In the dream, Jiang Yunzhu was betrayed and suffered a lot, so she didn¡¯t want her sister to follow her old path. Unexpectedly, the younger sister only saw her wealth and glory in the end, and took her life away. After changing her life, Jiang Yunzhu sold breakfast, made takeout, and opened a restaurant. The days got better and better, and she even opened the restaurant to the capital at the end. At the same time, she also met the man who had been with her for the rest of her life, happy and happy.


    The heroine of this article has a distinctive personality, is down-to-earth, starts from the little things, and works step by step. The writing of the article is compact and fascinating.

 Chapter 1

    It was the busy autumn season for farmers, but at this time, the people of Qinghe Village were all looking at Jiang¡¯s house in the north of the village.


    First, a few slaves on tall horses led the way, and then a carriage came slowly. The carriage is covered with bright jade and covered with bead curtains, and even the horses that pull the carriage are made of gold and silver, which is indescribably luxurious and rich.


    If you don¡¯t know the situation, ask, ¡°Who is this, the Jiang family still has such relatives?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s the daughter of the Jiang family. She seems to be called Jiang Yunzhu. I heard that she was sold out in the early years. I haven¡¯t seen her for a few years. Who would have thought that she would become the young wife of the Hou¡¯s mansion. She is truly a master, and her wealth is extraordinary.¡± Someone lamented. I don¡¯t know whether I am lamenting Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s fate, or lamenting why I don¡¯t have such a good daughter.


    The carriage stopped at the gate of Jiang¡¯s house, and five or six maids stepped forward immediately, surrounded by a young man and a slim lady, and entered the yard.


    With a glimpse, everyone saw the appearance of the young man and the beauty.


    ¡°That¡¯s the son of the Hou Mansion, he looks really handsome!¡±


    ¡°I just look at the girls from the Jiang family. Tsk tsk, she looks like a fairy lady. No wonder she can be the young lady of the Hou Mansion.¡±


    ¡°How did the Jiang family give birth to such a daughter?¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone was envious and jealous, and there were many discussions. In the crowd, Jiang Yunxiu clenched her teeth so hard that she almost bled. She could have owned this carriage, this wealth, and even that handsome man, as long as¡­


    ¡°Mother, I¡¯m sorry for you, you just choose one, stay or go, it¡¯s fate.¡± Chen¡¯s tearful eyes stretched out both hands forward. In each of her two hands, she holds a dead branch with only a little exposed. The two branches are of different lengths. Whoever chooses the long branch will stay, and whoever chooses the short branch will leave with the teeth. .


    Dizzy in front of his eyes, Jiang Yunzhu collected himself and saw clearly what was in front of him.


    Three mud-tiled houses and a small courtyard are both real and a little strange. This seems to be the yard she lived in when she first came to this world. What¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t she already married and has become the young lady of Anping Houfu?


    ¡°Yunzhu, your illness is still not cured, you choose first.¡± Chen said.


    The Jiang family has two daughters, the eldest daughter, Jiang Yunzhu, is 16 years old, and the second daughter, Jiang Yunxiu, is 15 years old. The palms and backs of the two daughters are full of flesh, and Chen¡¯s pain hurts, but there is no other way now, so he can only sell one.


    In fact, Mrs. Chen preferred to let Jiang Yunzhu stay, because she had just suffered a serious illness a few days ago, and she was so burnt out that she would be very difficult to survive if she was sold again.


    But as soon as she thought of her staying, Jiang Yunxiu would have to leave, and Mrs. Chen wished she could take back what she had just said, she couldn¡¯t bear to part with any of them.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the two branches in Chen¡¯s hand, but finally confirmed that this was indeed when she first traveled to this world.


    She clearly remembered these two branches, the one on the left was short, and the one on the right was long. At that time, she chose the one on the left, and then was sold into the Anping Hou Mansion as a maid.


    It¡¯s been seven years since she went there, and everything is vivid in her mind, but why, she returned to this time again.


    Huang Liang a dream?


    Jiang Yunzhu hesitated.


    But someone next to him became impatient, ¡°Hurry up, what time is it, I¡¯m still waiting to go back.¡± A smeared woman urged Jiang Yunzhu first, and then said to Chen, ¡°Sister, I told you not to cry too Yes, six taels of silver is really a lot, you can ask around, now two taels of silver can buy a big girl, how many people want to sell it but can¡¯t sell it!


    Didn¡¯t I see that you two daughters are my favorite, otherwise I can give you such a high price? ¡°Speaking of this, the woman rolled her eyes, took Chen¡¯s hand and said eagerly, ¡°Sister, if you want me to say, why draw a lottery, why don¡¯t you sell them both to me, they will follow me, good days are coming Well, isn¡¯t it better than starving and freezing with you?


    Thirteen taels, sell them to me together, they will have a way out, and you will have a better life, right? The more the woman talked, the more excited she became. The two daughters of the Jiang family are so lovely. They are fifteen or sixteen years old, just like the dewdrops on the peach blossoms in the morning. As long as she buys them, she can make a fortune by reselling them.


    Mrs. Chen quickly shook her head violently. Selling one would be helpless, but selling two would be a loss of conscience.


    The woman¡¯s hope was in vain, she cursed secretly in her heart, she was brainless, and only urged, ¡°Then hurry up, who will sell it to me?¡±


    Chen Shi looked at Jiang Yunzhu and motioned for her to choose.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu had come to his senses, no matter if it was a dream or something, life still had to be lived.


    After hesitating for a moment, she reached out to Chen¡¯s left hand. She is not from this world, the original owner is dead, she used his body, so she should give back to her parents. Besides, if everything is really like a dream, she has already experienced it once, and this time it should be easier.


    Beside him, Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s complexion changed drastically. Just now, she experienced a change in her life from great sadness to great joy. She couldn¡¯t believe it, God really gave her a chance to start again, this time, she would never be a peasant woman in a mountain village!


    She wants wealth and glory, and she wants rich clothes and fine food.


    As long as she gets the branch on the left, she will be sold into the Marquis of Anping, and then she will have everything that Jiang Yunzhu had before.


    She has thought about it more than once, and now it is finally coming true!


    Thinking of this, she took a step ahead of Jiang Yunzhu, and grabbed Chen¡¯s left hand, ¡°Mother, I will choose this branch.¡± She said excitedly.


    ¡°Yunxiu.¡± Chen was surprised. She didn¡¯t know which branch was longer and which was shorter, but now that Jiang Yunzhu was choosing, she had already chosen the branch in her left hand, what would Jiang Yunxiu grab.


    In fact, she didn¡¯t have any malicious intentions, but Jiang Yunxiu seemed to be stimulated, and suddenly complained loudly, ¡°Mother, why did you let my sister choose first, and can¡¯t you let me choose first?¡±


    Yes, Jiang Yunxiu resented the Chen family. In the previous life, she stayed by Chen¡¯s and Jiang Cheng¡¯s side, filial to them, taking care of her younger siblings, and even obeying their advice, and married that worthless Xu Qingshan, but what about them, Jiang Yunzhu was always on their minds.


    Thinking about what she was doing, whether she was fed and clothed.


    In fact, people eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day in Anping Hou¡¯s Mansion, but they eat bran swallowed vegetables every day in the village.


    So what is she, and what is her contribution?


    And when Jiang Yunzhu came back and became a noble lady, she was no longer in their eyes.


    It¡¯s also a daughter, so they treat her like this?


    This time she must replace Jiang Yunzhu and live that kind of rich life, no one can stop her, otherwise she will fight her hard!


    The more she thought about it, the more Jiang Yunxiu felt annoyed, she directly squeezed Chen¡¯s hand, and pulled out the branch from her hand.


    Chen¡¯s hand hurt from being pinched, and she looked at Jiang Yunxiu in disbelief.


    Jiang Yunxiu didn¡¯t care about her, she just looked at the branch in her hand, it was a short branch, it was really a short branch, everything was true, she was going to be the young lady of Hou Fu.


    Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s eyes were red, but she was smiling, looking strangely distorted.


    Chen only felt that Jiang Yunxiu in front of her was very strange, as if she was not her daughter at all.


    Jiang Yunzhu also noticed Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s abnormality. In everyone¡¯s general perception, being sold is tantamount to suffering. The better ones are sold to rich people as maidservants, beaten and scolded at every turn, and their life and death are up to them. The lowly ones, and the unlucky ones, are directly sold into brothels, and their lives will be ruined.


    In her dream, she was sold to the Marquis of Anping, the bitterness in it was not enough for outsiders to understand.


    That¡¯s why she thought, she¡¯d better choose the short branch.


    What now? Jiang Yunxiu wasn¡¯t very afraid of being betrayed before, so why did she suddenly grab the branch in Chen¡¯s left hand? I was so happy to find that there were short branches inside.


    Thinking of the experience in the dream, Jiang Yunzhu raised her eyebrows, Jiang Yunxiu didn¡¯t have a similar dream, did she?


    She remembered that Jiang Yunxiu was very dissatisfied with her in the dream, and she once said in front of her face that if she had been the first to choose at that time, maybe she would be the young lady of the Houfu now.


    Even, she seems to have seduced Lin Tingan, but at that time her face was full of weather, and her flowering period was long gone, how could Lin Tingan fall in love with her.


    Interesting, Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t move and continued to watch.


    ¡°Mother, I chose a short branch.¡± At this moment, Jiang Yunxiu also calmed down, and said to Chen Shi as if declaring.


    ¡°Yunxiu.¡± Chen was very worried about her.


    ¡°Jiang Yunzhu, I chose a short branch.¡± Jiang Yunxiu said to Jiang Yunzhu again. When she said this, she raised her chin slightly, full of ambition, and God favored her, this time it was finally time for her to be beautiful and prosperous, and Jiang Yunzhu to roll in the mud.


    Seeing her like this, Jiang Yunzhu finally confirmed her conjecture just now. It seems that she had indeed had a similar dream.


    Thinking of all kinds of things in the Anping Hou Mansion, she smiled. Jiang Yunxiu really wants the life in her dream?


    Then she will give it to her, I only hope that she will not regret it by then!


    The matter was settled like this, the two parties wrote a contract, delivered the money, Jiang Yunxiu packed up his things and left with the woman.


    Jiang Yunxiu didn¡¯t bring anything except the clothes on her body. From her point of view, these things in the house have a poor air, and they should not be looked down upon.


    Before leaving, she said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Sister, if you can¡¯t live on in the future, come and beg me.¡± If she was in a good mood, she might reward her with a few taels of silver, just like the ones she gave her in the past. Like satin.


    beg her? The corners of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s lips rose. She thought it was so easy for a maid to go to Mrs. Hou¡¯s mansion?


    Besides, why did she ask her, her good life has just begun!


    The author has something to say:


    Re-wrote the text¡­

 Chapter 2

    Long after Jiang Yunxiu left, Mrs. Chen was still standing at the gate, as if she could wait for her to come back this way.


    Jiang Yunzhu knew she was sad and didn¡¯t bother her.


    The sun is slightly slanting, and the autumn sun shines on people, warm. Jiang Yunzhu looked up and saw that the sky was high and the clouds were calm, and his heart suddenly widened. This long-lost sense of freedom really made people extremely happy.


    Yes, Jiang Yunzhu doesn¡¯t miss the life in the Anping Hou Mansion at all, including her husband Lin Ting¡¯an who everyone admires.


    To her, it was like a prison. Originally, she thought about how she would escape if she entered the Hou¡¯s mansion again this time, but now it¡¯s all right, and it¡¯s easy.


    But right now she also has urgent problems to solve.


    The past two years in Changfeng Mansion have been severely affected by disasters. Last year, there was a severe drought and the crops failed. This year, it was drought and locust plagues. How serious is the disaster? Summer is when plants are lush, and when you look around, there is no green at all. , Chididiqianli.


    The people were displaced, and I don¡¯t know how many people died of thirst and starvation.


    It was also because of this that Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi, a hard-working couple, were forced to sell their daughter to live.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought, this Changfeng mansion can¡¯t stay anymore.


    One, the disaster here is too serious. There is an old saying that she would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times. She thinks this is very reasonable. If the society is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment, that dog may eat meat, just like modern society.


    Conversely, if the society is in turmoil and the people are poor, no matter how hard a person works, it will be difficult to live the life he wants.


    So if they want to live a good life, they must first move to a rich place.


    Another point, she remembered that there would still be a drought in Changfeng Mansion next year.


    The Jiang family will go to flee when the mountains and rivers run out next year, so in Mengli, after she has gained a firm foothold in the Anping Marquis Mansion, she wants to contact them, but she can¡¯t.


    That being the case, why not turn passive into active and move in advance?


    Thinking of this, Jiang Yunzhu turned around in the yard.


    Soon, she discovered that Jiang Cheng, who was squatting with his head buried under the back eaves, was also her father in this body.


    Afraid of embarrassing Jiang Cheng, Jiang Yunzhu backed away, then deliberately stepped up and walked over there.


    Jiang Cheng heard footsteps, quickly wiped his eyes, and stood up.


    ¡°Father, I know you¡¯re sad, but things are already like this, let¡¯s think about what to do in the future. Yunxiu, I think we will meet again in the future.¡± Jiang Yunzhu persuaded, she was telling the truth.


    Jiang Cheng thought she was comforting him, how could we see her sold daughter again.


    ¡°It¡¯s dad who¡¯s sorry for you.¡± Jiang Cheng said, it was him who was useless.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t want to talk about this topic. In famine years, there are also times when people change their children and eat.


    Jiang Cheng was silent for a while, thinking that it was time to think about the future. He already lost one daughter, and he didn¡¯t want to lose another.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, with these six taels of silver, let¡¯s save some money, we should be able to last until next year, and wait until next year¡¯s spring¡­¡±


    ¡°What if there is still a severe drought next year?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    Jiang Cheng was stunned by the question, and subconsciously wanted to answer ¡°How is that possible.¡± But when he thought about the severe drought last year, and the severe drought and locust plague this year, it seems that next year¡¯s severe drought is not impossible.


    Yes, what if there is a severe drought next year? He froze.


    Jiang Yunzhu waited for him to come back to his senses.


    After a while, Jiang Cheng said, ¡°Call your mother and Jiang Lin over, let¡¯s have a good discussion.¡±


    The Jiang family not only has two daughters, Jiang Yunzhu and Jiang Yunxiu, but also two sons, Jiang Lin, Jiang Yunxue, and Jiang Wu, and a daughter. It¡¯s just that they are too young. If you give this kind of age to others for free, no one will want it.


    Jiang Yunzhu nodded, and went to call Chen Shi and others.


    After a while, the whole family gathered in the house.


    Jiang Yunzhu led Jiang Wu¡¯s hand into the house together.


    Jiang Wu is only six years old this year, and he is very cute.


    Both Jiang Cheng and the Chen family look good. Jiang Cheng has a typical Chinese face, while the Chen family has the gentleness of a Jiangnan water town, and his skin is also fair, so the children of the Jiang family are all very good-looking. Jiang Yunzhu saw Jiang Wu felt very fond of it.


    Unfortunately, in the dream, he seemed to have died on the way to escape.


    That¡¯s right, if according to the situation in the dream, the Jiang family had to wait until next year¡¯s money was spent before fleeing, Jiang Wu is so young, it¡¯s normal that he can¡¯t hold on.


    Fortunately, it should not be now.


    Jiang Yunzhu clenched Jiang Wu¡¯s hand, and Jiang Wu was leaning against her leg, blinking his big round eyes very well, he seemed to know that something happened at home


    ¡°The head of the family.¡± Chen didn¡¯t know what happened, and asked Jiang Cheng.


    Jiang Cheng repeated what Jiang Yunzhu said just now, and asked her what she thought.


    Chen is at a loss, will there be a severe drought next year? God just doesn¡¯t give people a way to survive! But now that it¡¯s autumn, there¡¯s no sign of rain at all. Maybe it will really happen next year¡­


    She didn¡¯t dare to think about it before, she always hoped that she would be fine next year, but now someone pointed it out, and she was awakened like a dream.


    What should I do then? She looked at Jiang Cheng.


    Jiang Cheng looked at Jiang Yunzhu, he felt that after this incident, she seemed to have grown up a lot.


    ¡°Father, mother, I think we should move, or rather, escape.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said surprisingly.


    ¡°Move? Where are you going to move?¡± Chen subconsciously refused. She knew the pain of being displaced. At that time, she and Mr. Chen fled to Jinniu Village. After finally taking root here, she didn¡¯t want to leave here.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at Jiang Cheng, she felt that he supported her.


    Yes, Jiang Cheng also understands those truths, a tree is moved to death, and a person is moved to life.


    He discussed with Chen in a low voice, if there is another drought next year, they will definitely not be able to hold on. Even if there is no drought, their life will certainly not be too easy.


    It¡¯s autumn now, but there is no sign of rain at all. Jiang Cheng feels that there is a high chance of drought next year.


    The more Chen listened, the redder her eyes became. But she also knew that Jiang Cheng was right.


    By evening, the Jiang family had reached an agreement that they were going to move.


    ¡°Pack up and pack up, let¡¯s go in two days.¡± Jiang Cheng said.


    ¡°These two days?¡± Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t expect Jiang Cheng to be in such a hurry.


    Jiang Cheng said, ¡°It¡¯s already autumn, and it¡¯s going to get colder and colder. We¡¯d better find a place to stay before winter begins.¡± Otherwise, if there¡¯s no roof to cover them in the cold weather, they¡¯ll freeze to death .


    This is the truth, Jiang Yunzhu understands.


    The Jiang family immediately got busy and prepared to leave Changfeng Mansion.


    As for where to go, they wanted to go south. First, there was a lot of rain in the south, and second, the temperature became warmer as they went south. This was the same direction as they fled in the dream.


    In the same night, Jiang Cheng repaired the cart at home.


    Mrs. Chen packed up the things at home.


    Jiang Yunzhu helped her.


    In fact, there is nothing to clean up. In the past two years of disasters, the family has sold everything that can be sold, and now there are only some broken tables that no one wants, and there is no way to bring them.


    ¡°Sister, do you want to bring this thing?¡± Jiang Lin asked Jiang Yunzhu holding a broken clay pot.


    ¡°No.¡± Jiang Yunzhu replied firmly.


    Jiang Lin turned and ran away.


    ¡°Sister, what about this one?¡± Jiang Yunxue asked Jiang Yunzhu holding a broken bundle.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the burden skin, and thought it was too useless as a rag, but now, ¡°Take it with you,¡± she said. At least it was a piece of cloth, in case it was too cold on the road, you could use it as a cushion to sit on or something.


    Jiang Yunxue happily folded the torn burden skin carefully, like a treasure.


    Even Jiang Wu came to help, and the children were very busy.


    Chen Shi watched from the side, both relieved and worried.


    Busy until dark, everyone eats and rests.


    Early the next morning, Jiang Cheng got up early and went to the town to buy food, preparing to eat on the road. All he bought was sorghum rice. These days, the price of rice has skyrocketed. Wherever poor people can afford rice, they always buy this kind of grain. This kind of grain is rough and difficult to swallow. It used to be used to make wine, but now it is good to eat.


    Just like that, he bought fifty catties of sorghum rice, which cost him five hundred Wen.


    The price has risen too fast, and he feels more and more that it is a good idea to leave here.


    The Chen family went to the village to inquire about the situation, to see which way is easier to go, and if they want to leave Changfeng Mansion, do they need to go to the county government office to guide them.


    Only after she inquired about it did she know that someone in the village had already fled.


    Most of them also went south, but the road they took was different. The people in the village don¡¯t know which road is good. After all, only those who have walked know it, and those who have walked never come back.


    As for Lu Yin, someone once asked that the county government would not handle it at all, and even if it was not done well, it would anger the official and the master, and he might be arrested. After all, so many people are going to leave Changfeng Mansion, and if the higher-ups find out, the official¡¯s black hat may not be guaranteed.


    If you want to leave, you can only go secretly.


    At noon, the family got together again, talking about what they had gained, and they became more determined to leave here.


    After eating, Mrs. Chen immediately got busy. She wanted to mix the sorghum rice with rice bran to make pancakes and eat them on the way.


    Jiang Yunzhu took out all the pickles left in the pickle jar, cut them into shreds, and kept them for the road.


    Her speed was very fast, and within a short while, six or seven pickles turned into thin shreds of pickles.


    There is still some sesame oil at home, which is reserved for the Chinese New Year, and now it is no longer used, so she poured it all into the pickles.


    After finishing this, she went to prepare water. Now there is a drought everywhere, and water is a precious thing.


    There used to be a well in Jiang¡¯s yard, but like most of the wells in the village, it has run out of water now. To get water, you can only go to the well at the head of the village, and the well is deep.


    Jiang Yunzhu and Jiang Lin lined up for half an hour, and brought back two buckets of water.


    The water was muddy yellow.


    Jiang Yunzhu frowned, can this drink?


    ¡°You can drink it overnight.¡± Seeing it in the kitchen, Mrs. Chen said. As for boiling, they don¡¯t even have firewood for cooking, so how to cook it.


    ¡°Burn the tables, benches, and beds at home, or boil the water to drink, otherwise what should I do if I get sick?¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Chen opened her mouth in surprise, burning the table and bed? How could this be possible¡­ But after thinking about it, they were about to leave here, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.


    Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Chen started from scratch, and they saved all the things in the house one by one, such as the bed, which they bought when they got married, and the table, which Jiang Cheng asked someone to open when she gave birth to Jiang Yunzhu. of.


    Every thing has her memory in it, but now it is about to be burned¡­


    Chen remained silent, she knew that this time they were really going to die. She was very scared, but with her family by her side, she didn¡¯t seem to be afraid. Even, she has to be strong to protect her child from wind and rain.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the two buckets of water, but thought of one thing, now they can boil the water to drink, but what about the road? The water could be worse than this, and maybe she should have prepared earlier.


    After thinking about it, she decided to make a filter to avoid drinking dirty water as much as possible.


    This filter is very simple, it is made of charcoal, pebbles, gravel, and cotton cloth.


    Jiang Lin and the others had nothing to do, seeing what she was doing was very interesting, they all surrounded her to watch.


    Jiang Yunzhu asked them to help, those who washed the stones washed the stones, and those who washed the jars brushed the jars. Soon, a vase-shaped filter was ready.


    Pour the water from the bucket into the vase.


    A trickle flows from the bottom of the vase, which is crystal clear.


    The three children were all attracted by this miraculous scene, but Jiang Yunzhu had the bottom line in her heart and it was done.

 Chapter 3

    The next day, Jiang Yunzhu helped Mrs. Chen continue to make sorghum pancakes. Fifty catties of sorghum rice had to be ground into flour and then made into pancakes, which took a lot of time.


    After discussing with Jiang Cheng, Mrs. Chen went out separately.


    Jiang Cheng went straight to the west of the village, stopped in front of a vermilion door in the west of the village, and knocked on the door.


    After a while, a man came out of the door. When he saw Jiang Cheng, he immediately held the doorway, ¡°My house is out of food, our mother didn¡¯t eat last night, and she¡¯s still hungry!¡± Looking at that posture, it seemed that he was afraid that Jiang Cheng would enter the door or Open your mouth to borrow food from him.


    This man is Jiang Cheng¡¯s elder brother Jiang Hai.


    Jiang Cheng looked at his slightly protruding belly, and said it would be a lie not to be disappointed. Jiang Hai took over Father Jiang¡¯s class and worked as a shopkeeper in a restaurant in the town. His life was prosperous, even if the past two years were bad, it would not be so.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± A woman in the courtyard asked loudly, and then said, ¡°No matter who it is, there must be no borrowed food, and we still can¡¯t eat enough ourselves!¡±


    ¡°I know.¡± Jiang Hai replied, looking at Jiang Cheng, that means, you heard it, our family still can¡¯t get enough to eat!


    Jiang Cheng knew this was the result.


    ¡°I want to see my mother.¡± He muffled.


    He was about to leave here soon. After leaving, he didn¡¯t know if he would meet again in this life. He thought that he should meet and talk to Mrs. Jiang.


    ¡°See mother?¡± Jiang Hai snorted, he took it for granted that Jiang Cheng didn¡¯t get well with him, so he wanted to borrow money from Mrs. Jiang.


    ¡°Mother, the second brother said he wanted to see you.¡± He still held the door open and shouted inside.


    ¡°Now that I know I want to see me, why didn¡¯t I expect to have a mother like me when I married that spoiled daughter-in-law?¡± Mrs. Jiang said angrily inside.


    At the beginning, Jiang Cheng wanted to marry the Chen family, but the old lady Jiang disagreed a hundred times. In the end, Jiang Cheng still married the Chen family. The old lady Jiang directly separated them and gave them nothing. Shi and Jiang Cheng.


    ¡°Mother.¡± Jiang Cheng called from outside the door.


    ¡°Married a daughter-in-law and forgotten my mother, I don¡¯t have a son like you.¡± Mrs. Jiang scolded.


    Her words were very heartbreaking, Jiang Cheng had never forgotten her, these years of marriage, every time the Jiang family made something delicious, she was not the first to remember her.


    Jiang Cheng felt resentful, fell to his knees, and kowtowed to Mrs. Jiang.


    Jiang Hai was inside the door, looking at him as if watching a joke.


    After kowtowing three times, Jiang Cheng raised his head, ¡°Mother, I¡¯m leaving.¡± He meant that he was leaving Changfeng Mansion.


    ¡°Get out!¡± Mrs. Jiang just said, she never came out to see Jiang Cheng from the beginning to the end.


    Jiang Cheng took a steady look into the courtyard, stood up, and walked away.


    In a dilapidated small courtyard in the south of the village, it was another scene at this time.


    Mrs. Chen closed the door, told Mr. Chen about her leaving in a low voice, and finally said, ¡°Father, come with us.¡±


    At the beginning, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen also fled here. Later Mrs. Chen married Jiang Cheng, Mr. Chen lived alone all the time. In the past two years, he had problems with his eyes and couldn¡¯t see clearly. Usually, Mrs. Chen took care of him. After Mrs. Chen left, he stayed alone, waiting to die. So Chen said so.


    ¡°No, let¡¯s go, I can¡¯t live alone.¡± Mr. Chen shook his head.


    He is old and his eyesight is not good, so following Mrs. Chen is not a drag on her.


    ¡°Father¡­¡± Mrs. Chen actually had a plan in mind, so she didn¡¯t say anything more.


    However, Mr. Chen entered the back room as if remembering something, and after a while, he came out with a cloth bag and handed it to Mrs. Chen.


    Chen opened the cloth bag, only to see a silver hairpin and a few pieces of silver inside.


    She recognized that the hairpin was her mother¡¯s relic.


    ¡°It should have been given to you a long time ago. I always want to keep it by my side and look at it again, just like your mother is still there. Now that you are leaving, take it with you.¡± Old Master Chen said.


    Chen¡¯s tears couldn¡¯t stop streaming down, she put away the cloth bag, and she became more firm in her thoughts.


    In the evening, everything was ready for the Jiang family. The sun had just set, and everyone began to sleep.


    At Choushi the next day, that is, after two o¡¯clock in the morning, the Jiang family got up, took their things, and left the house quietly.


    The moment she locked the door, Chen¡¯s tears almost fell again, but this time, she held back, she couldn¡¯t cry!


    Jiang Cheng also felt uncomfortable, the road ahead was long, and his burden was even heavier.


    For a moment, he really wanted to go back and stay behind, what if the next year is better? But he also knew that he couldn¡¯t gamble because he couldn¡¯t afford to lose.


    On the contrary, Jiang Lin and the other three children were very interested. Perhaps in their view, this was just a long journey.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Jiang Cheng said.


    The family quietly went to the residence of Mr. Chen in the south of the village.


    Jiang Lin climbed over the low wall lightly, went in and opened the door, Jiang Cheng and others went directly into the yard.


    ¡°Who?¡± Mr. Chen¡¯s eyesight is not good, his ears are extremely sensitive, and because he is old, he is easily awakened, so he heard the noise outside and asked in surprise.


    ¡°It¡¯s me, Dad.¡± Jiang Cheng replied.


    Mr. Chen was very surprised. What happened at this time?


    Feeling uneasy, he quickly got up and opened the door.


    ¡°Father, come with us quickly.¡± Jiang Cheng said in a low voice.


    Only then did Mr. Chen understand Chen¡¯s plan. It turned out that she had made up her mind to take him with her from the very beginning, but she didn¡¯t say anything yesterday just because she was afraid that he would refuse. Touched and sad at the same time, Mr. Chen didn¡¯t want to leave with Mrs. Chen, he just urged them to leave quickly, it would be bad if they were seen by others later.


    Of course Mrs. Chen refused to leave, and must bring Mr. Chen with her.


    Mr. Chen disagreed.


    Two people were pulling and pulling.


    Jiang Yunzhu watched anxiously from the side, she thought she should bring Mr. Chen with her. Mr. Chen¡¯s eyesight is bad, but his body is still very strong, so it¡¯s no problem to follow them.


    But if he was allowed to stay, the disaster would be even worse next year, and he would have to starve to death.


    ¡°Grandfather, if you don¡¯t leave, we won¡¯t leave either.¡± She sincerely said to Mr. Chen, ¡°Father and mother must take you with you, and that¡¯s what we mean.¡±


    ¡°Yes, grandpa, you can go with us, I will support you.¡± Jiang Lin and the others immediately said, and after finishing speaking, the three of them surrounded Mr. Chen, some supported his arms, and some pulled his legs , and dragged him out.


    Mr. Chen¡¯s throat choked up, ¡°Good boy, I¡¯ll go by myself.¡±


    He finally understood what Chen and the others wanted, and decided to go with them.


    He didn¡¯t have anything to clean up, the most valuable thing was given to Mrs. Chen yesterday, so he took his clothes and went out with Mrs. Chen and others.


    The family continued to head south, intending to leave the village from the south, and then head south all the way.


    At three o¡¯clock in the morning, it was still completely dark, and there was no one on the road.


    Seeing that they left the village, a female voice hesitated, ¡°Sister-in-law Chen, is that you?¡±


    Chen Shi was startled, ¡°Who?¡± She asked in surprise.


    A woman turned the corner over there with a bucket of water.


    In the haze, Chen recognized her and heaved a sigh of relief, it turned out to be her.


    This woman¡¯s surname is Liu, and she was married into Jinniu Village, but she is much more difficult than her.


    It is said that she used to work in a kiln, and the villagers didn¡¯t understand how the second child of the Lu family was good-looking and the family was rich, so how could she go out and marry such a woman.


    Maybe this woman is especially good at that kind of thing? After all, it came from that kind of place. Everyone is maliciously guessing.


    Because of this, no one in the village is willing to talk to Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu usually stays at home, and never walks outside the gate.


    Such a day is also peaceful.


    But last year, the second child of the Lu family died of illness, and the Liu family became a widow with a child.


    There is a lot of gossip in front of the widow, especially this widow is good-looking and has that kind of experience, it seems that she is born to be frivolous.


    No wonder she came out to fetch water at this hour, Chen sighed, she had no friendship with Liu, but this time there was no rice to cook at home, she borrowed all the people she knew, but she didn¡¯t borrow a grain of rice, who would have thought of coming back I ran into Liu Shi on the road, and she was willing to lend it to her.


    Mrs. Chen is grateful to Mrs. Liu, and regrets that she listened to the rumors and didn¡¯t spend more time with her.


    She bought the food the day before yesterday, and she was the first to pay back her food. It was not easy for her to be orphaned and widowed.


    ¡°Sister-in-law Chen, who are you?¡± Mrs. Liu spoke nicely and softly.


    Mrs. Chen pulled her aside, saw that she was about to leave the village, and didn¡¯t want to hide it from her, so she told her their plan, and finally said to her, ¡°Sister, you should make plans early. In case next year is a famine year¡­¡±


    Needless to say, Liu¡¯s face has turned pale.


    In a year of peace, she would not have a good time. In a year of famine, even if she had money, she would probably be eaten alive.


    The Chen family finished talking here, turned around and followed Jiang Cheng and others to leave.


    ¡°Thank you sister-in-law for reminding me, sister-in-law is very kind, and Yuan¡¯er and I will definitely repay each other in the future.¡± Liu Shi said later.


    Chen waved her hand, she can¡¯t help her, it¡¯s not a kindness.


    After leaving Jinniu Village, there was a wilderness ahead. After walking for a long time, Mrs. Chen suddenly asked Jiang Cheng, ¡°You said Yunxiu, will you¡­¡±


    Jiang Cheng knew that she must have met Liu Shi and thought of Jiang Yunxiu, fearing that she would also end up in that kind of place.


    ¡°No.¡± Jiang Cheng comforted her.


    Chen nodded.


    The Jiang family left, and they left a letter under Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s pillow, explaining their whereabouts. In fact, in the dream, they also left Jiang Yunzhu a letter, but by mistake, she didn¡¯t see that letter at all.

 Chapter 4

    The sky was bright, and Jiang Yunzhu and others had already arrived in Lincang County next door.


    They didn¡¯t have a guide, and they didn¡¯t dare to enter the county town, so they just walked through the villages and towns.


    The morning sun shines on everyone.


    Jiang Cheng was pushing the cart with their belongings on it, and Jiang Wu was sitting on a pile of bundles, his little face was full of excitement, and he kept urging Jiang Cheng to hurry up.


    Mrs. Chen helped Mr. Chen to walk on the left.


    Jiang Yunzhu led Jiang Lin and Jiang Yunxue to the right.


    When the family is together, it seems that the road under their feet is not so difficult.


    At this time, Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s life was not so easy, that woman, Mrs. Zhang, was taking her around, selling her like a peddler.


    Yes, goods are not like people at all, just like cattle, horses and sheep.


    ¡°Look at this face, this figure.¡± Mrs. Zhang introduced Jiang Yunxiu to the rich businessman opposite with her face salivating.


    Jiang Yunxiu felt disgusted in her heart, this man could almost be her father. Besides, how can a small wealthy businessman compare with Anping Houfu.


    ¡°Ah!¡± There was an exclamation, like the first cry of a new oriole. It turned out that Mrs. Zhang was dissatisfied with Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s face, as if someone owed her money, and pinched her waist.


    Jiang Yunxiu looked at Mrs. Zhang in surprise.


    Suddenly, she felt something on her feet again, and when she turned her head, she saw that the rich businessman was lifting her skirt and pinching her feet.


    Places like ancient feet are private parts, even if Jiang Yunxiu had married someone in her dream, she had never been treated so frivolously, she was ashamed and angry, and backed away in panic.


    ¡°The feet are a bit big!¡± The rich businessman said dissatisfied with his stomach, and glanced at Jiang Yunxiu from time to time.


    Her frightened look just now was quite attractive.


    Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s eyes turned red immediately, feeling wronged and angry at the same time. He, he still thinks her feet are big.


    Mrs. Zhang quickly whispered to the rich businessman, and looked at Jiang Yunxiu while talking.


    Jiang Yunxiu was angry and impatient, shouldn¡¯t she be sold to Anping Marquis Mansion, what¡¯s going on?


    In the end, the deal was not negotiated because of the price.


    After leaving the rich merchant¡¯s house, Jiang Yunxiu breathed a sigh of relief, but Mrs. Zhang scolded her, calling her a loser, and she still took Joe at this point. Just now, if someone touched her feet, she would make a fuss After being made comfortable by a man, maybe if he doesn¡¯t touch her, she will have to rush to be touched.


    Mrs. Zhang is used to hanging out in low-class places, and when she starts to swear at people, she specializes in swearing at people in low places, and her swear words are very unpleasant.


    No matter where Jiang Yunxiu passed by, her tears couldn¡¯t stop streaming down, she just wanted to kill herself and never suffer this humiliation again.


    But when she thought of Anpinghou¡¯s Mansion and that man who was like a bright moon, she told herself that she had to persevere.


    Squeezing a smile, she said to Mrs. Zhang, ¡°Auntie, Changfeng Mansion was hit hard and everyone has no money. Why don¡¯t we go to Luzhou, which has always been rich.¡± Luzhou, Anpinghou¡¯s Mansion is in Luzhou, and she can¡¯t wait there.


    ¡°Go to Luzhou? Don¡¯t you need money to go to Luzhou? Xiaolangzi, as soon as you roll your eyes, I know what you¡¯re up to, don¡¯t try to fool me.¡± Mrs. Zhang put her hips on her hips and scolded Jiang Yunxiu again.


    After scolding enough, she took her to continue to go everywhere.


    There are brothels, wealthy households, and officials.


    Those buyers will wantonly comment on Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s appearance, figure, and any minor flaws on her body. She is as if she has been stripped naked, allowing others to pick and choose, without dignity.


    Several times, she almost collapsed.


    Fortunately, she has always had a belief in her heart to support her. Just wait, when she becomes the Young Madam of the Hou Mansion, she must make everyone who felt sorry for her look good! She silently swears.


    Jiang Yunzhu wants to eat sesame seed cakes, crispy outside and tender inside. By the way, there are also boiled fish, beer duck, sweet and sour pork ribs, cashew nut shrimp¡­ She remembers that she had dinner with friends before crossing, and these were the ones on the table.


    At that time, she lost weight and put down her chopsticks after eating very little.


    If she is given another chance, she swears, she will never let them down again.


    In the past two days, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s memories of modern times have become clearer, as if it was just yesterday.


    ¡°It¡¯s a robbery, help, come here, someone is robbing things.¡± Jiang Yunzhu was thinking about all kinds of delicacies when he heard someone shouting in front of him.


    She looked up and found that they were passing a village, and on the road ahead, there was a donkey cart, and beside the donkey cart, two men were pulling a bag.


    One of the old men looked about forty or fifty years old, and he was the one who shouted.


    Opposite him was a dark man in his thirties.


    The old man was obviously not as strong as the man opposite him, and the bag in his hand was about to be shot away.


    Jiang Cheng also saw this scene, he was enthusiastic, and immediately shouted, ¡°Let go!¡±


    Seeing someone coming, the dark man panicked, but he didn¡¯t let go of the bag in his hand.


    The two of them used too much force, the cloth bag was torn, and a pile of rough pancakes fell to the ground.


    The dark man grabbed a pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.


    At this time, Jiang Cheng had already run over.


    The swarthy man quickly picked up a few pancakes, ran into the village in a hurry, and disappeared.


    Jiang Cheng wants to chase.


    ¡°Father!¡± Jiang Yunzhu hurriedly called to stop him. She saw just now that after the thick pancake fell to the ground, there were figures shaking in the nearby houses. That dark man robbed openly just now, but no one came out to stop him, which already shows some problems.


    In famine years, people can do anything to survive, so it¡¯s better to be careful.


    Jiang Cheng was also worried about Chen Shi and the others, so he stopped abruptly.


    Jiang Yunzhu hurriedly helped the old man pick up pancakes.


    After a while, I picked up the pancakes.


    ¡°Thank you, thank you.¡± The old man couldn¡¯t stop thanking, these pancakes are also his life.


    ¡°No need.¡± Jiang Cheng helped him put the pancakes on the donkey cart.


    At this moment, a young man hurried out of the village carrying a bucket. He saw Jiang Cheng and immediately shouted, ¡°What are you doing!¡± Running back, seeing Jiang Cheng holding his family¡¯s pancake bag, he thought he was going to grab their pancakes.


    ¡°Qingshan, it¡¯s not him, he¡¯s helping.¡± Father Xu quickly called the young man to stop.


    The young man came over and asked the whole story with a few words, only to realize that he had mistaken his benefactor for a thief, so he quickly apologized to Jiang Cheng.


    ¡°No, get out of here quickly.¡± Jiang Cheng also saw the figure next to him, and said vigilantly.


    Everyone set off immediately and left the village.


    When they reached the edge of a town and no one was following them, everyone felt relieved and started talking.


    Father Xu and Xu Qingshan, they are from the next county, and they also fled to the south, but they have a goal, they are going to Changshi Village, Wuling County, Luzhou, where there is a distant cousin of Father Xu, they go there to visit relatives .


    But according to Mr. Xu, he hadn¡¯t contacted him for four or five years, and he didn¡¯t know what was going on there.


    I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not very good, Jiang Yunzhu thought to himself while listening. When Xu Qingshan came out of the village just now, she felt that he looked familiar, but she didn¡¯t dare to recognize him, but now she was almost sure that it was him.


    Xu Qingshan, in the dream he was Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s husband, that is, her brother-in-law, he did not expect them to meet here, it seems that fate is really amazing.


    She remembered that in the dream he and the Jiang family lived in Qinghe Village, Lu¡¯an County, Luzhou, not Changshi Village, Wuling County, which meant that their marriage visit might not go well.


    Of course, there may be other reasons. Things in this world are almost completely different. Jiang Yunzhu only found the Jiang family seven years later in his dream, and only met Xu Qingshan two or three times, so he didn¡¯t know much about his past.


    But unexpectedly met him here in advance, which shows that fate is sometimes very strange.


    Jiang Yunzhu was thinking wildly. When Father Xu heard that Jiang Cheng and the others were going to the south, he immediately invited them to go on the journey together, so that he could take care of him.


    Together with Father Xu and the others, Jiang Cheng and the others took advantage. They were two men and a donkey cart. Jiang Cheng and the others are old and young, and there is only one small cart.


    At first Jiang Cheng didn¡¯t want to drag them down, but later Father Xu insisted on this, so the two families walked together.


    Jiang Cheng continued to push the small cart. He was young and strong, so the donkey cart walked slowly, so it would not be a problem for him to keep up.


    Chen and the others could also take turns sitting in the donkey cart for a while, which made them a lot easier.


    The two families chatted a few words from time to time and got to know each other better.


    In Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s impression, Xu Qingshan was tall, but he often seemed to be hunched over. He was taciturn and seemed to listen to Jiang Yunxiu in everything.


    But looking at him now, with a slender body, a rough face, and two piercing eyes, I really want to imagine how he will look like that seven years later.


    Jiang Yunzhu kept staring at Xu Qingshan, Xu Qingshan seemed to have sensed it, and turned to look at her.


    The eyes of the two met, Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t dodge, and smiled at him friendly.


    The Jiang family¡¯s children are all good-looking, but the prettiest ones are sisters Jiang Yunzhu and Jiang Yunxiu. They all have fair skin, long brows with willow leaves and almond-shaped eyes, and red lips like plums in snow.


    It¡¯s just that Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s appearance is soft, like an apricot blossom in spring, while Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s appearance is more charming, like a silk hibiscus.


    Her smile is delicate and delicate, with watery light shining, it is indescribably touching.


    Xu Qingshan blushed immediately, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze. He has never seen a more beautiful girl than her, especially those eyes, which are black and white, as if they have stars.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t care either, she didn¡¯t want to judge someone because of what happened in her dream.


    Two days later, the group of them arrived at the edge of Zhuding County, and Changyuan County was further ahead. There was a large piece of uninhabited wasteland in the middle, and there was no way to replenish drinking water, so they stopped at a small shop by the road to rest. Second, buy some water and take it with you on the road.


    In the past, when there was no drought, we would go to various houses to ask for some water to drink, but now it is no longer possible. A bucket of water costs ten yuan, and we have to buy it.


    After paying the money, the store brought out a bucket of water for them. The water was also muddy yellow.


    Jiang Yunzhu took out her simple filter bottle, and after a while, a little bit of clear water flowed down from the jar.


    No matter how many times they looked at it, Xu Qingshan and even Jiang Cheng felt that her filter bottle was very novel, why was it just such an ordinary vase, so dirty water went in and clean water came out.


    They sat at a table by the roadside, drank tea and ate pancakes, and waited for the water to be filtered before heading on the road.


    At this moment, a group of people suddenly came from the west, like thunder.


    The team of more than a dozen people were all tall horses, and the people sitting immediately were all dressed in black clothes with golden unicorn patterns embroidered on them.


    With a knife on their waist, everyone is full of murderous aura.


    The one headed by You Qi has a pair of slightly slanted red phoenix eyes, like cold rivers and glaciers.


    Although the people in the small shop didn¡¯t know the origins of these people, they all knew that these people were not something they could mess with, so they unconsciously fell silent and looked over there cautiously.


    Seeing that person, Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t help but her heart pounded, why was it him!

 Chapter 5

    Jiang Yunzhu knew that man because his reputation was too great.


    Shen Fengming, the son of Princess Danyang, the nephew of the current emperor.


    Speaking of him, one cannot fail to mention the Qilin Guard he is in charge of. It is probably similar to the Jin Yiwei in the Ming Dynasty. It directly obeys the emperor¡¯s orders and has the power of guarding, investigating, and jailing.


    The qilin guards of all dynasties have made everyone¡¯s expressions change, but when it comes to Shen Fengming¡¯s place, it is even more frightening and chills.


    Wherever he goes, those places where corruption and law-breaking, gangsterism and self-interest will inevitably flow like rivers of blood, so everyone mentions him in private and tells him not to stay, which shows that he has a strong reputation.


    In the dream, Jiang Yunzhu had seen him before, when he suddenly came to the Lin Mansion and proposed to stay in the mansion for a few days.


    No one in the Lin family knows his name. When he came to the door, it was like the king of Hades came to the door. Everyone suddenly felt that a catastrophe was imminent. Even Jiang Yunzhu thought that the Lin family was going to play tricks, and wondered how she would survive if she became a criminal. .


    During that time, the Lin family was really gloomy, and even Lin Ting¡¯an was in doubt every day.


    Who would have thought that one day, he would leave suddenly, quietly.


    Everyone in the Lin family couldn¡¯t believe it, this **** of killing just left. At first they thought that he was leading the snake out of the hole, so they cast doubts.


    But who would have thought that after a month, the mansion was still calm, but there was news from the capital that he had returned to the capital.


    It was only then that the people in Lin¡¯s residence believed that Shen Fengming had really let them go, and they were safe.


    Survival after the catastrophe, ecstatic!


    Because of this, Marquis Anping finally nodded and agreed, and asked Lin Ting¡¯an to officially marry him as his wife, making her the young wife of the Marquis.


    So speaking of it, Jiang Yunzhu was also in his favor in the dream.


    As for why he suddenly came to the door and why he left, it has always been a mystery.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s feeling for him is just one word, fear. Especially thinking that they are refugees now, that is, people who have no way to lead a hundred miles away from their household registration. When they met Shen Fengming, it was like a mouse meeting a cat.


    Now she only hopes that Shen Fengming¡¯s pedestrians will leave quickly.


    But the sky didn¡¯t seem to hear her call, the pedestrians actually slowed down as they got closer to the shop, as if they were going to hit the tip here.


    The shop owner was both happy and nervous when he saw the big business.


    Jiang Yunzhu was thinking, is it too late for them to leave now?


    It was too late, those qilin guards were very fast, they had already arrived in front of the small shop, they got off their horses one by one, looking well-trained.


    ¡°Boss, bring some pots of hot tea and some food. We are in a hurry. By the way, the horses have to be fed and drunk, and your money is indispensable.¡± A tall man walked towards the store while facing the store. said the boss.


    His name is Yang Sheng, and he is Shen Fengming¡¯s deputy.


    ¡°Yes, yes.¡± The owner of the shop hurriedly agreed, and arranged for someone to feed the horses, while he wiped the tea on the table and urged the kitchen to hurry up.


    The shop is not big, there are only seven or eight tables, two tables of guests, and the guests at that table have almost eaten. Seeing such a group of people, they immediately checked out and left, leaving only Jiang Yunzhu and others in the shop.


    Not long after Jiang Yunzhu and the others arrived, they hadn¡¯t finished their tea and were hesitating when those Qilin guards came in and huh-la-la filled all the remaining tables, blocking them directly at the table in the corner.


    As for Shen Fengming, he was sitting at a table on the other side, and Yang Sheng was the only one on his table.


    This small shop only makes steamed buns, steamed buns, and some simple cold dishes. These things are convenient. After a while, several baskets of steamed buns and a few dishes of cold dishes are placed on each table.


    ¡°Or, let¡¯s go too.¡± Surrounded by such a group of people full of evil spirits, Father Xu said to Jiang Cheng in a low voice, his calf twisted.


    Jiang Cheng was also afraid of causing trouble, so he nodded and wanted to find a gap to go to the shop owner to pay the bill.


    At this moment, Yang Sheng spat out a mouthful of water. He was extremely thirsty, so after getting the tea bowl, he couldn¡¯t wait to take a big sip, but is this tea? Chinese herbal soup is about the same.


    ¡°Shopkeeper, storekeeper.¡± He held up a tea bowl and called the shopkeeper.


    The shop owner came out in a hurry, ¡°What, guest officer.¡±


    ¡°What is this?¡± Yang Sheng asked. His clothes and appearance are not angry or intimidating.


    The shop owner¡¯s legs were weak, and he looked at the tea bowl in his hand, ¡°Tea.¡± He stammered.


    ¡°Is this tea? Why does it smell strange?¡± Yang Sheng asked.


    The shop owner heard what he said, and looked at their dusty appearance, and guessed, ¡°Everyone came from afar, right? The water in Changfeng Mansion tastes like this.¡±


    Without waiting for Yang Sheng to ask, he continued, ¡°The water in Changfeng Mansion didn¡¯t taste like this. Isn¡¯t it a severe drought for two years? Sheung Shui is good, who cares if it tastes good or not.¡±


    ¡°Is the drought in Changfeng Mansion very serious?¡± A clear voice suddenly asked, it was Shen Fengming.


    ¡°Serious, why not serious, the common people are almost dying. Especially this year¡¯s locust plague, that¡¯s¡­¡± The shop owner opened a shop here, and he has never seen anything coming and going every day. Speaking of this year¡¯s disaster, he sighed endlessly. .


    ¡°Didn¡¯t the imperial court distribute rice grains for disaster relief?¡± Shen Fengming¡¯s voice became colder.


    ¡°Rice grain? Maybe it was distributed elsewhere, but I didn¡¯t see it anyway,¡± said the shop owner.


    Shen Fengming looked at Jiang Yunzhu and the others. In this store, apart from the owner, they were the only ones left, and seeing that they were dragging their families, they seemed to be victims of disasters.


    Yang Sheng understood, and immediately came to Jiang Yunzhu and the others.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s scalp was numb, she was really afraid of something.


    Father Xu and the others also became nervous.


    Yang Sheng walked to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s table, but was attracted by the vase that was filtering the water. What is it?


    He looked carefully, and saw that it was just an ordinary broken vase, but dirty water flowed in from above, and clean water came out.


    He picked up the vase, weighed it, and poured the contents of the vase on the ground.


    A layer of pebbles, a layer of coarse sand, a layer of fine sand, and a layer of charcoal, and finally a bit of cotton wool and a layer of cotton cloth.


    What a neat thing.


    It¡¯s not that the Xia Dynasty doesn¡¯t have clean water. Like their Qilinwei, they use a kind of pill made of alum. When they encounter dirty water in the wild, they use one.


    In addition, he has seen water washing method, stone washing method, etc., but he has never seen such a simple and delicate method, and the effect seems to be better.


    He reached out and took a tea bowl from the side, and scooped a bowl from the bucket below. Sure enough, the water was extremely clear.


    Take a sip, there is no peculiar smell at all.


    ¡°Who made this?¡± He asked curiously.


    Jiang Cheng and the others all looked at Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Jiang Yunzhu could only reply.


    Yang Sheng looked at her, but his eyes lit up, he didn¡¯t notice that there were so many people just now, there was such a girl in this small shop, her eyes were clear and eager, like a weed in water.


    ¡°How did you come up with that?¡± he asked.


    Naturally, it was improved by later generations based on the experience of the predecessors, but Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t dare to say that, and said what he had told Jiang Cheng and the others before, that is, he heard some old people in the village mention it, so he decided to try it. Try it, I didn¡¯t expect it to work.


    Yang Sheng has been traveling all over the world for so many years, and has seen many strange people and strange things. He was not too surprised when he heard the words, but felt that Jiang Yunzhu had a clever mind.


    ¡°May I have some water for tea?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu dared not say a word.


    Yang Sheng directly handed the filtered water to the shopkeeper, and gave him a bag of tea leaves, asking him to make some tea quickly.


    ¡°By the way, serve them some steamed stuffed buns and side dishes, and charge them to my account.¡± He ordered the shopkeeper again.


    The shopkeeper went there immediately, and after a while, he brought a few baskets of buns and five or six dishes of side dishes on Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s table.


    The steaming steamed buns are white and big. Through the thin skin, the filling inside can be faintly seen, tender and rosy.


    A dish of five-spice bean curd, a dish of peanuts in old vinegar, a dish of sliced salted duck eggs with burnt yellow oil inside, a dish of cold pig ears, and a dish of fragrant braised pork.


    One can imagine how tempting these things are to people like Jiang Yunzhu who eat cold pancakes and drink cold water every day.


    Even Father Xu couldn¡¯t remember when was the last time he ate braised pork.


    Jiang Wu and the other children stared straight at the white and fat buns, wishing they could swallow them in one gulp.


    Fortunately, Mrs. Chen and Jiang Cheng had taught them the word of politeness, they all held back and did not touch the food.


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome, eat it, and treat this as a gift from me using your water. By the way, I messed up your things.¡± Yang Sheng turned around and said to the shopkeeper, ¡°A few more steamed buns.¡± He found out, These few cages of buns were not enough for Jiang Yunzhu and the others.


    The shopkeeper brought up four or five baskets again, filling up the tables. Now, almost everyone had a basket of steamed stuffed buns in front of them.


    The unique sweet fragrance of wheat penetrated into everyone¡¯s hearts.


    Yang Sheng made a gesture of invitation.


    Father Xu and the others couldn¡¯t make up their minds, they looked at Jiang Yunzhu, the vase belonged to her, and so did the water.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that it was better to follow Yang Sheng¡¯s lead, so she said to him, ¡°Thank you.¡± Then she said softly to Father Xu and the others, ¡°I¡¯m so kind, let¡¯s eat.¡± After finishing speaking, she picked up a steamed stuffed bun first Put it in the Jiangwu bowl.


    Jiang Wu looked at her, waited for affirmative eyes, and bit the bun.


    The delicious gravy flowed into his mouth in an instant, and he thought it was the most delicious bun in the world.


    Seeing this, other people also started to eat one after another, like a wind and a cloud.


    Yang Sheng moved a chair and sat next to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s table, and when they were almost done eating, he asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡±


    With enough food and drink, and Yang Sheng didn¡¯t look like a bad person, Dad Xu and the others were not so afraid of him, so they started talking to him.


    After a while, they revealed their true self, and even said a lot of dissatisfaction with the local government.


    Jiang Yunzhu tried to interrupt several times but failed. In fact, this Yang Sheng is too powerful, and his methods of inducing and manipulating confessions are top-notch. How can Father Xu and his honest people resist his cross-examination.


    Jiang Yunzhu sat obediently on the chair, and now she just hoped that the people opposite would let them go because they were just ordinary people.

 Chapter 6

    At this time, the shopkeeper had finished making tea and brought out the tea.


    Immediately, a fragrant tea fragrance wafted out.


    It is a top-quality sparrow tongue, but it is a pity that the store did not cook it correctly, which spoiled the fragrance of the tea. Jiang Yunzhu also tasted it in Anping Hou Mansion in her dream, so when she smelled the tea fragrance, she immediately made a judgment.


    Yang Sheng also frowned, but now that he was extremely thirsty, he couldn¡¯t pay that much attention.


    He took the teapot and brought it in front of Shen Fengming, poured him a bowl first, then poured himself a bowl, and started to drink without caring about the heat.


    Looking at him, it seems that he really just had a casual conversation with Jiang Yunzhu and the others just now, and he didn¡¯t want to do anything to them.


    As if being pardoned, Jiang Yunzhu said to Jiang Cheng, ¡°Father, it¡¯s time for us to hurry.¡±


    Jiang Cheng immediately got up and went to settle accounts with the boss. The buns and side dishes were invited by Yang Sheng, but they had to pay for the tea and water themselves.


    The shop owner suggested that he wanted to buy Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s water purification method.


    Jiang Cheng called Jiang Yunzhu over again and asked her opinion.


    Of course Jiang Yunzhu was willing to do this. Ordinary people don¡¯t have the guts to use it. The rich and the rich can¡¯t afford it, so the shop owner is willing to buy it. This is a rare opportunity.


    The shop owner refused to pay more. First, he thought the method was quite simple, but he didn¡¯t see it clearly just now, so he bought it from Jiang Yunzhu on purpose. Second, it was too expensive and he didn¡¯t need it. Anyway, the people who come to his shop are ordinary people, and the next time they meet Yang Sheng and the others, they don¡¯t know when they will have to wait.


    After some conversation, the shop owner finally used three cages of steamed stuffed buns, added two buckets of water, and saved Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s tea money to buy a way to purify the water.


    Just like this, Jiang Cheng and the others felt that they had won for nothing, and they were extremely happy.


    Well, Jiang Yunzhu also frowned, at least there are meat buns to eat tonight.


    After they left, Yang Sheng looked at Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s back and sighed, ¡°It¡¯s a pity.¡±


    Shen Fengming looked up at him.


    Yang Sheng laughed, ¡°As the saying goes, a clever woman often sleeps with a clumsy husband. This girl comes from a humble family background. It¡¯s not a pity that I don¡¯t know which clumsy husband she will marry in the future!¡± He is also his friend, so he is one of the few people who dare to talk to Shen Fengming like this.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t want to talk to him.


    But Yang Sheng suddenly said, ¡°How about I take her with me?¡±


    Yang Sheng is a man of tenderness and tenderness, and there are countless beauties in his mansion.


    ¡°It¡¯s important!¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Yang Sheng put away his smile, but still complained, ¡°That¡¯s how you are, you don¡¯t give a **** about girls. Do you know that my old lady will suspect that you don¡¯t like women and have something wrong with me.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Shen Fengming¡¯s voice was as cold as icicles under the eaves in winter.


    Yang Sheng quickly shook his head and got down to business.


    Leaving the steamed stuffed bun shop, Jiang Yunzhu kept urging everyone to hurry, and she didn¡¯t calm down until she couldn¡¯t even see the shadow of the shop.


    ¡°Who were those people just now? What we said didn¡¯t have any effect, right?¡± Now, after thinking about it, Father Xu felt that he had talked to Yang Sheng a little too much.


    Of course it will affect the officials of Changfeng Mansion, Jiang Yunzhu thought. But there is nothing to say, those officials, if they are innocent, naturally they are not afraid of Shen Fengming, otherwise they disregard the lives of the common people, even if they are killed by Shen Fengming, they should be killed.


    ¡°It should be fine, but let¡¯s go to Luzhou quickly.¡± Jiang Yunzhu comforted Father Xu without forgetting to urge him.


    There might be an accident in Changfeng Mansion, they had better leave early.


    Ten days later, in front of the Yamen of the Changfeng Mansion, dozens of human heads rolled to the ground, blood splattered everywhere.


    Shen Fengming stood on the pool of blood, dressed in black clothes, his handsome face was spattered with some blood, like Shura in the abattoir.


    Everyone didn¡¯t dare to look up at him, and they only thought in their hearts that the reputation of ¡°Shen Buliu¡± is really worthy.


    Yang Sheng had a worried look on his face, he was worried about Shen Fengming. These officials in Changfeng Mansion are not good at disaster relief, and they are full of private pockets, so they should be killed.


    However, it is also possible not to kill.


    However, Shen Fengming was all killed, leaving no leeway.


    But they don¡¯t know that steel is very easy to break, everyone is afraid of you, and the next step is that everyone expects you to die!


    Throughout the history books, such people generally do not end well. If it really gets to that point, I¡¯m afraid the emperor won¡¯t be able to keep him.


    Yang Sheng really wanted to persuade his friend, but he also knew that he couldn¡¯t persuade him, so he was really worried.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu and the others finally left the boundary of Changfeng Mansion and arrived in Luzhou.


    In Luzhou, Jiang Yunzhu suddenly felt a little emotional, Anpinghou¡¯s Mansion is in Luzhou, she was in Luzhou in her dream, Jiang Cheng and the others fled to Luzhou, but they haven¡¯t seen each other for several years. Now, she has come to Luzhou again, thinking that Jiang Yunxiu should be there too, so it can be seen that they have a predestined relationship with this Luzhou.


    After more than half a month of running around, the fifty catties of sorghum pancakes prepared by Mrs. Chen and others had already been eaten, and everyone was dusty and disheveled.


    The people¡¯s livelihood in Luzhou is obviously much better than that in Changfeng Mansion. The price of food is stable and the water source is plentiful. Finally, people don¡¯t need to buy water to drink, saving a lot of money.


    They continued to move forward, and on the third day, it suddenly rained lightly, like oil.


    It had been almost two years since he had seen rain. Jiang Cheng wiped the raindrops off his face with his hands, feeling extremely excited. It seemed that their decision to come to Luzhou was correct.


    ¡°I¡¯ve inquired about it, and I¡¯ll be in Wuling County in five days.¡± Xu Qingshan trotted back and said to everyone.


    Five days later, another piece of good news, everyone seemed to have strength again.


    In Wuling County, a large stretch of green hills can be seen from a distance, stretching from sky to sun, seemingly without end, that is Wuling Mountain.


    The people here are extremely rich. After inquiring, they found out that there are iron mines in Wuling Mountain.


    In the early years, when the nearby villagers went up the mountain, they often picked up some black stones, and merchants bought them when they brought them home. At first they didn¡¯t know what they were, but later the government sent people to them, and they realized that they were iron ore.


    The Xia Dynasty had strict control over salt and iron. Soon, a large number of troops entered the mountains to mine and smelt iron.


    These projects require manpower, so more than half of the people in Wuling County work in the mountains. The wages paid by the government are not low, and the people in Wuling County live well.


    Jiang Cheng was tempted when he heard it. Now they have no land, no real estate, and less than two taels of silver left in their hands. How can such a big family live on? If they could go to the mountains to work, they would be paid 20 Wen a day and six denarii a month. In a few years, they would be able to own their own houses and fields.


    Xu Qingshan was also very moved when he heard that, six renminbi a month is really high enough.


    ¡°Of course it¡¯s high. Not everyone can do that job. You have to have strength.¡± The old man who was talking looked up and down Jiang Cheng and Xu Qingshan. They are both very strong and strong, so they should be okay.


    ¡°Also, there are frequent accidents in that mountain. Hey!¡± The old man sighed. Wuling County is really a mine, and a mine is also a mine. In that stretch of mine, I don¡¯t know how many young and strong people in Wuling County are buried.


    Jiang Cheng can¡¯t control so much now, he just wants to make money so that his wife and children will have enough to eat and drink, and if he doesn¡¯t go to the mountains, he might starve and suffer from cold when he goes to other places.


    With the bottom line in his mind, he decided to stay in Wuling County for the time being and not go south.


    Father Xu was naturally happy when he heard that, he had shared weal and woe with the Jiang family for so many days, and he knew their temperament, so he was reluctant to part with them.


    Everyone decided to go to Changshi Village to have a look before making plans.


    Changshi Village is not far from Wuling Mountain. There is a small river flowing through the village, and the water is clear. Many families in the village have built new houses, green brick and tile houses, and it is dusk, when the smoke is rising, it is a thriving scene.


    Xu Qingshan inquired with a passing villager, and found out the address of his distant cousin Gu Yongde.


    It is the largest and best built house in the village.


    Looking at the magnificent house, Father Xu and Xu Qingshan were both confused, they hadn¡¯t contacted for a few years, and they suddenly came to the door, who knows what they will think. Besides, they are so rich, yet they are so poor¡­


    Before they could knock on the door, a young man walked out of the yard.


    The young man was dressed in a green cloth robe, his hair was **** high, he looked handsome, he was full of bookishness, noble and elegant, really like the noble son of a rich family.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± The young man¡¯s voice was polite and nice.


    Father Xu declared his family name.


    ¡°Cousin and cousin are here, please come in quickly.¡± The young man said enthusiastically, and then shouted into the courtyard, ¡°Father, mother, cousin and cousin are here!¡±


    With just this one sentence, the tears of Father Xu and Xu Qingshan almost fell, they both said good words that three winters are warm, and evil words hurt people in June, it is true.


    There was movement inside, and after a while, a middle-aged couple came out from the inside, saw Father Xu, both of them were very kind, welcomed them into the courtyard, and asked them how they were doing in the past few years.


    Father Xu said yes in several voices, he was about to enter the door, and suddenly remembered Jiang Cheng¡¯s family, they haven¡¯t been found yet!


    Looking outside, he saw that the place where Jiang Cheng and the others were standing just now was empty.


    It turned out that Jiang Cheng was relieved when he saw that Xu and his father had found their relatives, and the relatives were very enthusiastic. He didn¡¯t want to bother Father Xu to beg for help for them, so he took Mrs. Chen and the others and left silently.


    Father Xu secretly gave thumbs up, the Jiang family is really the best.


    Suddenly he saw Xu Qingshan¡¯s distraught look, he knew it, he knew that he fell in love with that girl from the Jiang family, he also liked that girl, if he could marry her, it would be great.


    Since the Jiang family decided to stay here, there is no rush.


    Jiang Cheng led Mrs. Chen and others across a street, and saw an old woman picking beans at the door. The old woman had a gentle face, so Mrs. Chen went over to ask if there was anyone in the village who could rent a house.


    The people of the Chen family are gentle in appearance and good in speech. The old woman heard that they escaped here, and seeing them old and young, all of them sallow and emaciated, she felt pity for them.


    ¡°My house has a yard at the head of the village, where we used to live. Later we built this new house, and it was vacant there. If you want to rent it, you can rent it to you.¡±


    Mrs. Chen was overjoyed when she heard the words, ¡°Thank you, Auntie.¡±


    But the old woman said, ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry to thank me, the house is rented to you, and the money is easy to discuss, but you are not local, if you want to rent a house to stay here, you need the village chief¡¯s consent, and then go to the government to report it.¡± Row.¡±


    This is hard to scare people, the village chief, why should he promise you a stranger to stay in the village, and go to the government to guarantee you.


    Chen raised his heart again, ¡°Dare to ask the village chief?¡±


    The old woman pointed to the best house in the village, ¡°That¡¯s right there. The village chief¡¯s surname is Gu, and his name is Gu Yongde.¡±

 Chapter 7

    It was such a coincidence that Jiang Cheng remembered that the house that Old Xu entered just now was the village head¡¯s house that the old woman said. Feeling concerned, he went over to the old woman and asked her to allow them some time. He told the old woman the reason again. At this moment, the village chief was reuniting with Father Xu, so he didn¡¯t want to disturb him.


    ¡°That¡¯s exactly the reason.¡± The old woman was also relieved when he heard that he had escaped with the relatives of the village chief.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll show you the house first.¡± She said with the bamboo basket in her hand.


    She walked ahead, Jiang Cheng and others quickly followed.


    There is a yard at the head of the village, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the yard is very large, there are four main rooms, three side rooms, a stove, a cellar, etc., and even some furniture.


    The house is not new, but it is much better than the house the Jiang family lived in before. It is spacious and strong.


    ¡°This is where we used to live. Isn¡¯t this a new house?¡± Speaking of the new house, the old woman¡¯s face was full of joy.


    Jiang Cheng saw her new house just now, it has five main rooms and two courtyards, it is really magnificent. He was envious in his heart, and whenever he could have a house like this, he would be satisfied.


    There will be, when he enters the mine, everything will be there, he is full of expectations for the future.


    The two negotiated the price, one tael a year, and the contract will be signed when Jiang Cheng finds the village head tomorrow and reports to the county.


    The Jiang family can live here first tonight.


    The old woman is a local, and she is not afraid of being cheated by outsiders like the Jiang family.


    Jiang Cheng thanked Mrs. Chen for their kindness, and said that they met a good man, and such a good house only cost one or two taels of silver a year.


    They were polite and courteous, and the old woman was also happy. Anyway, she had lived in the house for more than ten years, and she also had feelings. She was relieved to rent it to such a family. Otherwise, she would rather not have that little money than let others defile her house.


    ¡°Okay, you¡¯re tired too, pack up and get some rest!¡± The old woman smiled and left.


    After closing the door, Mrs. Chen looked at the bright house, then at Jiang Cheng and the others, her eyes were red again, finally, they had a place to live again.


    Jiang Cheng was also heartbroken, and he held her hand and said, ¡°It will get better.¡±


    Chen nodded fiercely. She said this before to comfort herself, but now, she believes, yes, it will get better!


    The family began to tidy up the house.


    The house is well maintained, as long as it is cleaned, it can live in.


    Jiang Yunzhu was busy tidying up her room, and finally, she went to bed again! She didn¡¯t expect that Father Xu¡¯s journey to seek relatives would be so smooth, and they would also be honored.


    Jiang Wuze ran back and forth excitedly, looking here and there for a while, and asked Chen and the others with a small face from time to time, ¡°Mother, can we really live here in the future?¡±


    ¡°Of course.¡± Chen and the others would answer him tirelessly, and the huge courtyard became lively again.


    In the evening, someone knocked on the door again. It turned out that the old woman brought over a pot of hot soup and a few pancakes mixed with white flour, thinking that the Jiang family must have nothing to eat when they first arrived here.


    ¡°How can this be done, we can¡¯t ask for it.¡± Chen said hurriedly. Pancakes mixed with white flour are only eaten on special occasions.


    The old woman didn¡¯t care, the people in Wuling County were rich, and this pancake was just their daily food.


    Leaving pancakes, she left.


    This night, the Jiang family drank hot soup and ate hot pancakes, and felt warm in their hearts.


    Occasionally, a thought flashed in Jiang Cheng¡¯s mind. They fled famine this time, they had six taels of silver in their hands, and they met Father Xu and the two of them so they got here so smoothly. Road¡­ He really didn¡¯t dare to imagine how hard it would be.


    Fortunately, fortunately!


    After a sweet night, the next morning, Jiang Cheng got up, washed himself up, and went to find the village chief, Gu Yongde.


    Gu Yongde didn¡¯t know him, but Mr. Xu knew him well. He immediately asked Jiang Cheng to help him drive away the thieves, and then the two families supported each other. Then he told Gu Yongde about the safe arrival in Changshi Village, and his words were all correct. Jiang Cheng¡¯s words of praise.


    ¡°So that¡¯s the case, then this matter is easy to handle.¡± Gu Yongde believed that Father Xu, Wuling County is currently short of people, as long as he talks about this matter, it will be possible.


    ¡°Thank you, thank you.¡± Jiang Cheng thanked Gu Yongde, and thanked Father Xu.


    ¡°Hey, thank you between our two families.¡± Father Xu¡¯s words seemed to have deep meaning.


    In fact, Jiang Cheng also likes Xu Qingshan very much. Xu¡¯s family has a simple population. If Jiang Yunzhu marries, he should not be offended. But this matter has to be discussed with Jiang Yunzhu, and now is not a good time to talk about it, so he just pretends not to understand.


    Gu Yongde did what he said, just right, if Father Xu and Xu Qingshan wanted to stay here for a long time, they would have to go through this.


    The three of them went to the county government office together.


    In less than two hours, Jiang Cheng returned, his face full of joy.


    ¡°Is it done?¡± Mrs. Chen was standing at the door waiting.


    Jiang Cheng showed her the household registration certificate in his hand, ¡°I owe the village chief and the Xu family a big favor again.¡±


    To be able to do it so smoothly, the package of tea leaves that Gu Yongde stuffed into the county yamen¡¯s book played a big role.


    There is no one who asks others to do something and asks them to pay for it. Even if the money is not all for him, Jiang Cheng feels that he owes others too much, and decides in his heart that if he has money in the future, he must repay it double.


    Mrs. Chen took the certificate, looked at it happily, and then put it away properly. At this point, they are considered to be from Wuling County, and they no longer have to worry about being arrested by the government as refugees or driven back to their original places.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go to Aunt Zhao to sign the contract for renting the house.¡± Jiang Cheng decided to settle all these matters in one go.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you,¡± Chen said.


    After a while, the two came back and signed the contract, and everything was settled.


    There was only less than one tael of silver left in her hand, Chen said, ¡°I¡¯ll go to the town to buy some food and things to use.¡± She thought, she didn¡¯t know if the one tael of silver was enough to spend. The hairpin left by her mother was pawned. Although I don¡¯t want to, I have to change everything in a new home. In addition, the weather is getting colder and colder. I have to cover up sooner or later, and I need to add clothes on weekdays. There are places where money is spent everywhere.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go ask in the afternoon how I can get into the mine to work.¡± Jiang Cheng knew the difficulties at home and said immediately.


    After eating something hastily at noon, the couple acted separately.


    When Jiang Yunzhu heard that Mrs. Chen was going to the town, she immediately offered to go with her. She was about to check the prices here, thinking of a way to make money. Jiang Cheng went to work in the mine, if he could not go, it was better not to go, it was too dangerous.


    When Jiang Lin and the others heard about it, they wanted to follow immediately.


    Chen thought she had a lot of things to buy later, so it would be good for them to follow along to help get them.


    Several people went to town together.


    Although Hongye Town is just a small town, but because the people are rich, the streets are more lively than Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s original county town, with people selling cloth, food, furniture, mules and horses, everything that one expects to find.


    Chen went shopping around.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked left and right.


    The freshly baked sesame seed cakes cost three renminbi with meat stuffing, and one penny for spiced ones; oily meat pies cost five renminbi each, and you can get a bowl of millet porridge and pickles for free when you buy the meat pies; you can smell it from a long distance away Fragrant mutton soup, a bowl of ten cents, paired with two cents of cake, can eat to one¡¯s heart¡¯s content¡­


    Jiang Yunzhu only looks at those who sell food. She thinks very clearly that she has no capital and no way out, and there is no way to do other businesses. make money.


    She liked to cook in modern times, and in her dream, she stayed in the kitchen of the Anping Marquis for two years and learned a lot of skills. As long as she found the right location, it shouldn¡¯t be difficult to sell some snacks.


    It¡¯s just that she couldn¡¯t make up her mind for a while what to do.


    In the evening, several people returned with a full load of things.


    Pots and pans, grain, oil and salt, and bought two more pieces of cloth to make a quilt, finally looks like a living family.


    Jiang Cheng had already been waiting at home, ¡°I have already made an agreement with the person in charge of recruiting, and I will go to work in the mine tomorrow. Six qian silver a month, you can advance one month¡¯s wages in advance.¡± He finished talking excitedly, and put a A large string of copper coins was handed to Mrs. Chen.


    A large bunch of heavy money seems to have more impact than a dime, and the family is short of money now.


    ¡°Can you still advance the money?¡± Chen asked happily, taking the money.


    ¡°The recruiter said that there is a shortage of people in the mine recently, so the new regulations have been added.¡± Jiang Cheng returned, and he thought he had caught up with the good time.


    ¡°There are so many people going, but there is still a shortage of people? Such a high salary¡­¡± Chen was happy, but suddenly worried again.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I went to see it, and I can do the job. Besides, everyone in the county is working there, and everyone else is fine, so what can I do.¡± Jiang Cheng comforted her.


    Chen felt that this was the reason again, and hurried to cook for him so that he could rest early.


    Jiang Yunzhu was listening, and suddenly slapped her forehead, how could she forget the most profitable place.


    With so many people working in the mine, the market prospect is huge!


    She immediately asked about the Jiangcheng Mine in detail, mainly about food and accommodation.


    Jiang Cheng has already visited the mine this year and has a certain understanding of it. Eat, these workers eat at home in the morning and evening, and bring their own meals at noon. It is said that there is a canteen in the mine, but it is for the officers and soldiers stationed and some experienced craftsmen.


    There are also several large sheds on the mine, and there are Datong shops inside. If there are workers far away from the mine, they can also live there, and it only costs 40 yuan a month.


    The living conditions are poor and money is required. Most people in the mine would rather spend more time at home to live.


    By the way, Jiang Cheng also saw that there was a market at the foot of the mountain. When he went there, it was the hour of work, and there were no people there, but it was probably very lively when work started and left.


    That¡¯s it, that market, Jiang Yunzhu thought in her heart, and decided to go to see it with Jiang Cheng tomorrow.


    Changshi Village is close to the mine, so Jiang Cheng rushed there after breakfast the next day.


    Jiang Yunzhu followed by his side.


    Before the two left the village, they met people who were going to the mine. The more they walked to the mine, the more people around them.


    When you come to the foot of the mountain, you can see a large area of fireworks from a distance. When you get closer, you can see a large market. Most of the market sells food and smells. If you don¡¯t eat in the morning, you will come here. You must be hooked so that you can¡¯t walk.


    At this time, the bazaar was very lively, many workers and even many officers and soldiers on duty came here to buy something to eat, and the crowds were crowded.


    ¡°The gate of Chenshi Mine will be closed, and there will be no one here,¡± Jiang Cheng said.


    Chenshi is seven o¡¯clock in the morning. These miners start work at seven o¡¯clock in the morning, rest for half an hour at noon, and stop work at seven o¡¯clock in the afternoon. Jiang Yunzhu calculated that they have to work eleven hours a day, and they do the best Tired physical work, really hard work.


    Jiang Cheng didn¡¯t think that he was already very satisfied with such high wages for the same work.


    The two walked forward all the way, and Jiang Yunzhu wondered what he should sell.


    At this time, a man with a big beard who obviously dressed differently passed by them, followed by two soldiers.


    ¡°Vice General Zhao, what do you want to eat today, I will go down and buy it for you.¡± A soldier asked the bearded man.


    ¡°What¡¯s delicious? I¡¯ve been eating these all day long, and the birds have faded out of my mouth.¡± The bearded man resented.


    They pass quickly.


    But Jiang Yunzhu stopped in her tracks, she suddenly thought of what she could sell!

 Chapter 8

    I bought some lamb bones, added secret seasonings, and boiled for three hours. The bones turned white and the soup was mellow and fragrant. At this time, add water to knead the noodles, and after kneading the noodles into a dough, add water and knead continuously to wash out the gluten. Pour the washed water into the bone soup, add radish, bean curd, vermicelli, spinach, etc. in turn, and finally put the kneaded gluten into the pot, boil it on high heat, and make the soup thicker on low heat The big pot of hot and spicy soup is ready.


    Vice-General Zhao reminded Jiang Yunzhu that it¡¯s late autumn and it¡¯s in the mountains again, isn¡¯t it suitable to drink this?


    Jiang Yunzhu took out a bowl with a spoon, added green onion and coriander, and handed it to Mr. Chen first, ¡°Grandfather, you have a taste.¡±


    The Jiang family was already overwhelmed by the smell of the sheep¡¯s head soup. Hearing this, Mr. Chen fumbled to take the bowl, and scooped up the contents with a spoon.


    Like soup but not all soup, a strong fragrance hits the face.


    When you eat it, the taste of pepper explodes in your mouth immediately, followed by the umami of mutton soup, the sweetness of radish, the fragrance of bean curd, etc. The fragrance moistens the mouth, as if the soul has been awakened.


    Mr. Chen took a sip, and couldn¡¯t help but take a second and a third sip.


    He didn¡¯t put down the bowl in satisfaction until he finished the bowl of soup. At this time, fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.


    ¡°How is it?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked eagerly.


    ¡°Comfortable.¡± Mr. Chen can only use these two words to describe it. It is so comfortable. This bowl of soup is for drinking.


    This is the effect Jiang Yunzhu wanted, and immediately asked with a smile, ¡°Then grandpa thinks, how about I sell this soup?¡±


    She wanted to sell Hu spicy soup, but Mrs. Chen disagreed. The family only had so much money to do business with. If they lost money, would their family drink northwest wind this month?


    There was no other way, Jiang Yunzhu could only ask Mr. Chen for help. His words still carried weight.


    Mr. Chen didn¡¯t answer in a hurry, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and asked, ¡°How much does your pot of soup cost?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu had figured it out a long time ago, and immediately said, ¡°Originally, this soup tastes better when cooked with mutton, but it is cheaper to use mutton bones. These mutton bones only cost nine coins, and it can be cheaper if you buy more. The rest is flour, four taels Flour, three Wen coins.


    Vegetables, this soup is called Bazhen soup, which means there are eight kinds of vegetables in it. These dishes can be mixed according to the seasons. I use the cheapest and most delicious dishes now, which add up to three yuan.


    Finally, there are seasonings, firewood, etc., counting three Wen, the total cost of this pot of soup is eighteen Wen. ¡°


    Mr. Chen was surprised when he heard that, the cost of such a big pot of broth is so low?


    ¡°Then how much are you going to sell for a bowl?¡± He smelled something different and asked immediately.


    ¡°Twenty cents a bowl, there should be twenty bowls of this pot of soup, which means it can sell for about forty cents.¡±


    Mr. Chen was taken aback when he heard that, such a delicious and rich soup only costs two cents a bowl? But even so, there are nearly double the profits. Good business, this is indeed a good business.


    He rubbed his cane twice, and suddenly said, ¡°This soup should be served with something else.¡±


    This Jiang Yunzhu has also thought about it. She wants to make some white cakes and stewed meat. The white cakes can be soaked in soup, with meat, and can be eaten alone. The main reason is that it is convenient, you can make it at home, and you can sell it there.


    The market at the foot of the mountain sells food, and what they want is speed.


    Mr. Chen found out that his granddaughter wanted to start a business, and she didn¡¯t just mess around. She had already thought of everything.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s okay!¡± He said solemnly.


    Mrs. Chen also tasted Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s soup just now, and heard her speak clearly and logically, and began to hesitate in her heart. Now I heard Mr. Chen say that again, she, why don¡¯t you let Jiang Yunzhu try?


    ¡°If you want to do it, make it well. I tasted your soup, and it doesn¡¯t seem to go well with white cakes. It¡¯s good with meat pies, but meat cakes are too expensive.¡± Mr. Chen said suddenly at this moment.


    When Jiang Yunzhu heard this, she wanted to give him a thumbs up. Sure enough, the old man had a vicious eye. This hot and spicy soup really shouldn¡¯t be served with white cakes, it should be served with steamed buns. Youmotou is similar to deep-fried dough sticks, only smaller than deep-fried dough sticks, only the length and thickness of fingers.


    The freshly fried steamed buns are loose and crispy, rolled into the hot and spicy soup, the two complement each other, double the deliciousness!


    But the steamed bun was too troublesome, it was a small one, and it had to be kneaded and fried, so she gave up.


    ¡°How can you be afraid of trouble.¡± Chen quickly said, she is not afraid of trouble, she is only afraid that the money invested will be in vain.


    ¡°Okay, then make steamed buns. Well, you have to make meat pies too.¡± Jiang Yunzhu had her own considerations.


    The matter seemed to be settled.


    Today, this pot of soup cannot be wasted. First, Mrs. Chen filled out a large jar and asked Jiang Yunzhu to send it to the village head and Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Feng is the old woman who rented the house to them. She had delivered pancakes and hot soup to the Jiang family before. Mrs. Chen has always kept it in her heart, and she will naturally reciprocate if she has the opportunity.


    The rest is reserved for drinking at night, to supplement Jiang Cheng.


    The two came out of the house and went to the left and right.


    Needless to say, Mrs. Chen, seeing her bring something, Mrs. Feng immediately warmly greeted her to go in. Knowing that it was not easy for her, the steamed buns happened to be steamed at home. Before leaving, she brought her five or six steamed buns, which made Mrs. Chen very embarrassed.


    At the village head¡¯s house, Xu Qingshan was standing anxiously in the yard. Jiang Cheng had already gone to the mine today, and he wanted to go too, but his cousin wouldn¡¯t let him go¡­


    At this moment, when he raised his eyes, he happened to see a person standing there holding an earthen pot.


    ¡°Yunzhu.¡± Xu Qingshan hurried forward and took the crock in her hand.


    ¡°I made some soup, and my mother said to give it to the village chief and Uncle Xu to taste.¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled and explained the purpose of coming.


    Her voice was clear and her smile was shallow when she spoke, Xu Qingshan almost forgot to respond.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take it to my cousin.¡± Xu Qingshan hurriedly carried the crock into the house.


    After a while, a woman with a kind face came out and greeted Jiang Yunzhu enthusiastically.


    She is Gu Yongde¡¯s daughter-in-law Lin.


    Jiang Yunzhu answered one by one, and then offered to leave.


    Xu Qingshan sent her to the door.


    Jiang Yunzhu turned her head, didn¡¯t he give her the empty crock in his hand?


    Xu Qingshan was holding the earthen jar, but he was really reluctant to let go.


    ¡°My cousin said that my family has a donkey, and although I don¡¯t make as much money as a mine, it¡¯s easier and more free.¡± When he said this, he was afraid that Jiang Yunzhu might misunderstand, so he hurriedly added, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m not afraid of hard work. I want to go to the mines.¡±


    He wanted to make some money quickly, build his own house, and then¡­he didn¡¯t dare to look at Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu was also wondering why there was no sound after he said that he would go to the mine with her father, so it was like this.


    ¡°The village chief is also doing it for your own good. I think he¡¯s right.¡± Jiang Yunzhu immediately affirmed. It¡¯s a pity that her family is poor and can¡¯t afford a donkey, otherwise she wouldn¡¯t let her father go to the mine.


    ¡°Do you really think it¡¯s good to stretch your feet?¡± Xu Qingshan¡¯s eyes sparkled.


    Jiang Yunzhu nodded.


    ¡°But you don¡¯t make much money by pulling your feet.¡± Xu Qingshan said anxiously.


    less? Jiang Yunzhu feels that this business has a bright future. There are so many miners in Wuling County, so why worry about not having a source of tourists by picking a few sections of the road with many people?


    If there are more people, the price can be lowered, or a monthly subscription can be made. It only costs 40 yuan a month to travel by car, and 30 yuan to live on the mountain. That fool suffers that crime on the mountain!


    A donkey cart can hold seven or eight people, all of whom have a monthly subscription, which is three renminbi. If you run twice a day, you can earn as much as going to the mine.


    This is only sooner or later, at other times, you can also make money.


    When it grows bigger, you can buy more donkey carts, build more road sections, and be able to deliver goods part-time, and even¡­ Well, Jiang Yunzhu thinks too far, but she really thinks this is a good business, otherwise she will have more in the future. Forget the cost, let Jiang Cheng and Xu Qingshan partner in this business.


    She told Xu Qingshan a little bit of what she thought of, as a way of repaying him for taking care of him and Father Xu on the way to escape from the famine.


    Xu Qingshan was dumbfounded, can this still happen? But she seemed to have a point.


    Immediately, he was full of confidence, ¡°Yunzhu.¡± He thought Jiang Yunzhu was really good, good-looking, and smart.


    He was about to say something more, but a man came over on the road over there. He was tall and handsome, with long eyebrows and starry eyes. .


    Jiang Yunzhu asked himself that he had seen many outstanding people, but he still couldn¡¯t help but look at the young man more. He didn¡¯t expect that there were such people in this mountain village.


    Xu Qingshan also saw the young man, and immediately greeted him, ¡°Cousin.¡±


    The young man showed a warm smile, like Zhu Jianlu and Matsushita Feng.


    Xu Qingshan quickly introduced to the two of them, Jiang Yunzhu, who fled with him, and Gu Yanzhou, his cousin.


    ¡°Yanzhou is different from me. He is a scholar. He passed the examination of scholar the year before last, and he will wait for the imperial examination next year¡­¡± Speaking of Gu Yanzhou, Xu Qingshan felt proud.


    Hearing what he said, Jiang Yunzhu felt that the name Gu Yanzhou was a bit familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

 Chapter 9

    ¡°Girl Jiang?¡± Seeing Jiang Yunzhu only staring at him, Gu Yanzhou reminded him.


    Jiang Yunzhu regained consciousness, the chaotic thoughts in her mind were cut off immediately, and she couldn¡¯t remember where she had heard the name Gu Yanzhou.


    She greeted him and looked him up and down again.


    Gu Yanzhou found it strange that she looked at him so generously, so he let her look at him.


    However, Jiang Yunzhu looked away and offered to leave. She was still in a hurry to go home and prepare for business.


    After two days of busy work, I was finally ready.


    Just after dawn on the third day, the market at the foot of the mountain became lively.


    At this point, the soldiers stationed in the mine were changing guards, and the laid-off soldiers were already so hungry that their chests were stuck to their backs. The army has breakfast for the soldiers, a large pot of pancakes and a pot of poor thin soup with few leaves. Some soldiers go to eat it, and some soldiers want to improve their food, so they come to the foot of the mountain.


    At this time, some early miners also arrived at the foot of the mountain, and the place was bustling with people.


    In the northwest corner of the market, you can smell an attractive fragrance from a long distance.


    That taste hooked people¡¯s gluttons out.


    Walking there, I saw a small stall at the farthest corner of the market. There was a stove in front of the stall. There was a large casserole on the stove. The casserole was gurgling and the strong fragrance Came out of there.


    Seeing someone coming, Jiang Yunzhu uncovered the casserole and turned the meat in the casserole with a spoon.


    I saw a large piece of meat, ruddy in color, trembling in the bright soup. With the turning of the girl¡¯s spoon, the thick soup covered the whole piece of meat, which showed that it was full of heat.


    In the morning of late autumn, my stomach was burning with hunger and my body was full of chills. When I suddenly saw this hot pot of meat, everyone couldn¡¯t help swallowing.


    Someone asked Jiang Yunzhu how the meat was sold.


    ¡°This meat is chopped and eaten in pancakes, six cents each.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, and lifted the small quilt next to him, revealing half a basket of snow-white wheat-flavored cakes.


    Six pennies is a little expensive. You must know that these miners only pay twenty pennies for a day of hard work, and the monthly salary of those soldiers is only five pennies.


    Jiang Yunzhu had expected this would be the case, she was just using the smell of meat to attract people here.


    At the right time, she opened the big wooden barrel next to her, revealing a bucket of steaming hot soup. Immediately, a strong aroma of mutton mixed with various aromas such as pepper rushed to her face.


    ¡°This is Bazhen Soup, also known as Hu La Tang. It costs three pennies a bowl. Buy a bowl of soup and get five steamed buns for free.¡± She said briskly. This is what she decided after discussing with Mr. Chen. It is better to sell soup for two pennies than three pennies. It is attractive to give oil buns.


    People always feel that they are taking advantage of the things they give away, but they don¡¯t know that the price has already been added to the things they sell.


    Soup with Pepper? I¡¯ve never heard of it, but the soup is really delicious, and the price is not expensive. Some people stood there and didn¡¯t want to leave, so they immediately bought a bowl of soup.


    The wooden spoon scooped out a spoonful of soup from the wooden bucket, and saw that the soup was actually thick, and it was full of ingredients such as bean curd, vermicelli, and radish. worth it.


    When I took a sip of the thick soup into my mouth, the taste of pepper hit my forehead, I just felt refreshed. Spicy, overbearingly spicy, but just right. Not only is it spicy, but the light sour taste is mixed with the aroma of mutton and many other flavors, which makes people feel full of saliva and feel comfortable all over.


    This is a bowl of soup, and it¡¯s not just soup. There is something to chew in your mouth, and there is something to eat.


    Soak the oil buns in it, full of satiety.


    While eating, some people praised the soup as delicious. After drinking a bowl of soup, the chills on the body disappeared, and there was faint sweat from the tip of the nose.


    In such an autumn, such a morning, it seems that such a bowl of soup should be drunk to give people strength.


    A new day begins!


    Some people said it was good, and other people who were watching couldn¡¯t help but bought a bowl to try it, and they really felt good.


    Some people also began to buy meat pancakes. It turns out that although the monthly salary of the soldiers here is not high, but guarding such a gold bump in the mine, there is a lot of oil and water, so the soldiers have money in their hands.


    The main reason is that the smell of the stew is too fragrant¡­


    The crispy white cake, served with glutinous and smooth minced meat, and poured with a little bright soup, the aromas of various colors are progressive in the mouth, making people unable to stop eating, straight to the point that the six yuan is worth the money up! This taste seems to be better than that of Fumanju in the county.


    The business at the stall suddenly became prosperous.


    Mrs. Chen was in charge of serving the soup, Jiang Yunzhu cut the meat to make meat pancakes, Jiang Lin and Jiang Yunxue cleaned up the dishes. It was not time to go to work, Jiang Cheng would go wherever he needed, the family was very busy .


    The soup, cakes, and even the steamed buns are all made at home, as long as they are served to the guests, the rest is to clean up the dishes. Jiang Yunzhu has already thought about everything, so everyone is busy and not chaotic, and they didn¡¯t call a guest for a long time. Wait, no one left.


    More than half an hour passed, and the things were basically sold out. When the mine started to work, Jiang Cheng had already gone to the mine, and the stall became deserted.


    Everyone seemed to be fighting a tense battle, nervous and excited at the same time. Now that I am free, everyone looks at Jiang Yunzhu, how is business today? Although they had feelings, they still wanted to confirm with Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu took care of collecting the money, and already had a rough estimate. He first stretched out a finger to everyone, and then stretched out a hand, which meant that he sold about 150 Wen.


    Mrs. Chen couldn¡¯t believe it at all. Jiang Yunzhu had already done calculations with Mr. Chen at home before. These meals were nearly half of the profit. They sold for 150 Wen, didn¡¯t they make 75 Wen?


    Seventy-five Wen a day, how much is a month? Two taels of silver¡­Chen felt his face was red and his ears were hot, and he couldn¡¯t even breathe freely.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go back and continue selling at noon.¡± She didn¡¯t feel tired at all at this time, her mind was full of this business, and she completely forgot that she didn¡¯t agree with Jiang Yunzhu to do this business before.


    Jiang Yunzhu quickly shook her head, the soup needs to be stewed for a long time to be delicious, and the cakes and buns also need time to make. They started preparing yesterday, and they got up before three o¡¯clock this morning, so they prepared these things.


    How can there be time to sell it at noon? Besides, it¡¯s not suitable to sell these things at noon.


    It¡¯s too tiring, and now everyone is supported by a wave of energy, and when the energy goes down for a while, they will all be so sleepy that their eyelids will fight.


    It¡¯s only a little past seven o¡¯clock, and the market is close to Changshi Village. If they pack up their things and go back, they can still get some sleep, Jiang Yunzhu thought.


    Hearing what she said, Mrs. Chen could only give up unwillingly.


    The family packed up their things and returned home happily.


    At the gate of Jiang¡¯s house, Jiang Wu stood there, looking around the road from time to time, when he saw a few familiar figures, he immediately shouted inside, ¡°Grandfather, mother and the others are back.¡± With short legs, he rushed towards Chen Shi like a gallop.


    Chen Shi hugged him, full of joy.


    When he got to the door, Mr. Chen was already standing there waiting.


    ¡°How?¡± he asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said with a smile.


    However, Mrs. Chen glanced at her, what¡¯s okay, the business is obviously very good, her daughter is more calm than her now.


    Thinking of this, she also smiled.


    When the family entered the house, Jiang Yunzhu dumped the pot of money onto the table, spilling a large piece of copper coins, with an indescribably crisp and pleasant voice.


    Chen seems to have turned into a money fan, and immediately sat at the table and counted the coins one by one.


    One hundred and sixty-three cash, ten cash more than Jiang Yunzhu thought. After deducting the cost, he made a net profit of eighty cash, which was four times Jiang Cheng¡¯s salary.


    Chen shi beamed with joy.


    After Jiang Yunzhu passed the excitement, she really felt that it was okay. On this day, their family, including Mr. Chen, were all helping out. A total of six people were busy working, and they only earned 80 Wen. Is that much?


    That is hard money.


    It was really hard work, I went to bed so late last night, and got up before three o¡¯clock this morning, the whole thing turned black and white.


    She thought, after saving enough capital, she should stop doing this business, otherwise everyone¡¯s health would be overwhelmed.


    However, Chen felt that she was not satisfied. People like them usually have no place to make money, but now they can earn so much, so there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.


    She told Jiang Yunzhu to go to bed quickly, and she prepared things for tomorrow. She was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, as long as she had money to make.


    Jiang Yunzhu asked her to take a rest as well. Money is endless, and health is the most important thing. Otherwise, when she gets sick, the money will not be enough to spend.


    Only then did Mrs. Chen go back to her room to rest.


    Lying on the bed, she couldn¡¯t sleep. According to today¡¯s situation, plus Jiang Cheng¡¯s wages, they will have nearly two or three taels of income every month.


    She thought of Jiang Yunxiu, if she could have made so much money earlier, she would never have sold her.


    I don¡¯t know how she is doing now, and whether there will be a chance to see her again in the future.


    At this time, Jiang Yunxiu finally arrived at the Marquis of Anping, the place she had hoped for.


    The heads of people killed by Shen Fengming in Changfeng Mansion are rolling, everyone in Changfeng Mansion is in danger, not to mention those officials and wealthy businessmen, even the brothels and Chu Houses dare not show off, who would buy girls.


    Mrs. Zhang didn¡¯t dare to sell it anymore, for fear that all those Qilin guards would dislike her, and even her would be clicked.


    After discussing with acquaintances, she took a few girls to Luzhou.


    Just in time for the old lady¡¯s birthday in the Anping Hou Mansion, there was a lack of people in the mansion, so she immediately brought Jiang Yunxiu and a few other girls to the door.


    In the end, Jiang Yunxiu sold it at a price of twelve taels of silver.


    Today is the first day she entered Anpinghou¡¯s mansion, although she entered through the corner door at the back, but looking at the pavilions, towers and pavilions on the left and right, the majestic and magnificent structures are really more gorgeous than she imagined in her dream.


    Thinking that Jiang Yunzhu lived in this kind of place in her dream, but she lived in a dilapidated house full of wind and rain, she was very lucky, glad that she snatched that short branch.


    This time it¡¯s finally her turn to be rich and prosperous!

 Chapter 10

    Jiang Yunxiu and thirteen or fourteen girls were taken to a wing room in the backyard.


    These girls ranged from thirteen to sixteen years old, and they all looked upright, with delicate features.


    Jiang Yunxiu looked around and found that except for a girl with a red mole in the corner of her eye, she was the best among the group of people, and she was very happy.


    At this time, there were footsteps outside, and a woman came in with a little maid.


    That woman is worthy of being from the Marquis of Anping, she is actually wearing silk and satin, her wrists and head are shining with golden light.


    The girls were both envious and apprehensive.


    Mrs. Zheng looked at these girls one by one. Two of them were not bad, and the rest were just mediocre.


    She began to assign people, ¡°You two, go to the tea room. You three, go to the laundry room. You three, follow Guanshi Li and go to sweep the courtyard.¡±


    Finally, she came to the remaining few people, among them were Jiang Yunxiu and the girl with the red mole at the corner of her eye.


    She paused for a moment, then turned her eyes to Jiang Yunxiu, that girl and another girl with a round face, and said, ¡°You three go to the kitchen.¡±


    Then she went to assign the rest of the girls.


    Jiang Yunxiu froze on the spot, asking her to go to the kitchen? She got it wrong!


    She stared at Mrs. Zheng, her mind was empty, she thought she should serve Lin Ting¡¯an.


    Seven years later in the dream, Jiang Yunxiu and Jiang Yunzhu met again, and they only talked a few times. When Jiang Yunzhu talked about her past, she either brought it up briefly or reported good news but not bad news, so Jiang Yunxiu didn¡¯t know exactly how Jiang Yunzhu became the young wife of the Hou Fu, just like Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know Xu Qingshan¡¯s past.


    There were a total of fourteen girls, and they were basically assigned to various places as rough envoys. Some of these girls were quick-witted and inquired about the situation in the mansion, but when they heard that this was the result, they were very disappointed.


    Who is Mrs. Zheng, her eyelashes are all empty, seeing this, she snorted coldly. These girls really thought they were flying up the branches! If it weren¡¯t for the lack of people in the mansion, they, whose backgrounds are unknown, could also enter the Hou¡¯s mansion?


    Letting them do some rough work in the mansion is already cheap for them.


    Jiang Yunxiu didn¡¯t finally believe that she was assigned to work in the kitchen until she came to the kitchen.


    Along with her was the girl with a red mole at the corner of her eye, her name was Tian Ying, and another girl with a round face.


    The kitchen in Anping Hou¡¯s Mansion is very large, and it is not the time to eat, so it is still relatively free here.


    When Mrs. Zhou, who was in charge of the kitchen, saw the three of them, especially Jiang Yunxiu and Tian Ying, her face turned dark immediately.


    It turned out that Mrs. Zhou¡¯s husband was the chef in the mansion. His surname was Gao, and his name was Gao Shun. He was good at cooking Huaiyang cuisine.


    But this Gao Shun has a bad habit, he especially likes to hook up with women. Relying on his face in front of the Marquis of Anping, he has a relationship with several maids and women in the mansion.


    For this reason, Mrs. Zhou fought with him a lot, but there was nothing she could do.


    A few days ago, she told the manager of the house that there was a shortage of people in the kitchen, so she asked him to send a few honest and capable people over, but in the end they sent these three?


    Looking at Jiang Yunxiu, with an expression of reluctance on her face, she looks like a vixen who wants to climb into the master¡¯s bed, and then at Tian Ying, her brows and eyes are full of coquettishness, she must be a little **** who can¡¯t live without a man, so she¡¯s left The next one is pretty pleasing to the eye.


    It must be that Zheng Jinhuan had a hard time with her, and deliberately assigned her to these three people, wanting to see her jokes.


    Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth secretly, wishing to tear Mrs. Zheng¡¯s face off.


    ¡°You three, what are you doing standing there and not working!¡± She vented all her anger on the three of them, angrily angrily yelled.


    The three of Jiang Yunxiu just felt suffocated, what are they doing?


    ¡°Go wash the dishes, the dishes in the backyard are piled up like a mountain.¡± Mrs. Zhou said.


    The three of Jiang Yunxiu went to the backyard.


    The kitchen has been short of people these days, and sure enough, those dirty dishes and bowls piled up like a hill.


    Three people fetched water to wash dishes and dishes.


    Autumn is already deep, the well water is very cold, and the plates and bowls are very greasy. After a while, Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s hands were soaked red and white. Not for washing dishes.


    ¡°Xiao Lang hoof, why don¡¯t you brush quickly, what are you doing in a daze. If you can¡¯t finish brushing, no one will want to eat tonight.¡± Mrs. Zhou sat beside them and stared at the three of them.


    Jiang Yunxiu remembered her, and when she became the young wife of the Hou family, she was asked to wash countless dishes, no, let her lick them clean one by one.


    Thinking of all the ways to torment Mrs. Zhou in the future, she seems to feel much better and can persevere again.


    After half an hour, a man came in from the corner door in the backyard. The man was tall and fat, but his eyes were not big.


    He seemed to have just drank alcohol, and his body smelled of alcohol.


    As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiang Yunxiu and the three of them, and his eyes lit up immediately.


    Jiang Yunxiu, fifteen years old, has almond eyes and peach cheeks, a girl like a flower. Tian Ying, who is one year older than her, has swaying eyebrows and eyes, especially the red mole under her eyes, which makes her even more charming.


    ¡°I still know how to come back. Hurry up and prepare things for the evening, and delay Lord Hou¡¯s dinner, let¡¯s see how you end up!¡± Mrs. Zhou said bitterly to the man.


    The man is Gao Shun.


    Gao Shun said impatiently, ¡°You don¡¯t need to talk too much, just mind your own business.¡±


    After speaking, he glanced at Jiang Yunxiu and Tian Ying again before going into the kitchen.


    He glanced at Jiang Yunxiu and felt extremely disgusted.


    But Tian Ying gave Gao Shun an angry look. With that delicate appearance, it seems that she wants to refuse and welcome.


    When Gao Shun was stared at by her, he only felt that his bones were ten catties lighter. If Mrs. Zhou wasn¡¯t present, he would have gone over to strike up a conversation immediately.


    Zhou Pozi was talking to Gao Shun behind Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s back, but she didn¡¯t see Tian Ying¡¯s eyes, otherwise she would have stiffened immediately.


    After a while, the kitchen started to get busy, she yelled at the three of them for a while, and went into the kitchen to get busy.


    Finally able to catch her breath, Jiang Yunxiu pondered how to meet Lin Ting¡¯an.


    Beside, Tian Ying¡¯s eyes flickered, she didn¡¯t know what she was thinking.


    Mrs. Chen knew that thinking about Jiang Yunxiu was impossible, so she fell asleep.


    In the evening, when Jiang Cheng came back, he was very happy when he heard the news.


    ¡°Father, why don¡¯t you sell food with us and don¡¯t go to the mine.¡± Jiang Yunzhu took the opportunity to tell him that she felt that going to the mine was not a good job. Not to mention occupational diseases such as dust disease and skin disease. Ancient mines did not have any safety protection measures, and it was easy to cause danger.


    Jiang Cheng shook his head, he can also help the family now, wouldn¡¯t it be better to earn two shares?


    Make money quickly and build a house of their own, then he will feel at ease.


    Jiang Cheng, like the Chen family, loves money very much now. That¡¯s right, if they were rich, they wouldn¡¯t have to sell their daughter. If they were rich, they wouldn¡¯t need to wander in this foreign land at all, and they wouldn¡¯t need Jiang Yunzhu to get busy every day.


    Seeing that Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t be persuaded, he could only do so first. Wait a little longer, when the family earns more money, Jiang Cheng should be willing to pay the wages.


    The next day, they went to the stall early, and today¡¯s business was better than yesterday, Chen was overjoyed from ear to ear.


    After Chen Shi, the market became deserted, and they began to pack their things and prepare to go back.


    Jiang Yunzhu opened the big casserole, only to see a piece of meat the size of a palm inside, thinking about whether to cook meat for everyone at noon. She is also very anxious to smell the stewed meat every day but not be able to eat it.


    ¡°Spicy meat!¡± A rough voice exploded in her ears.


    When Jiang Yunzhu looked up, she saw a big head beside her at some point, and the chin of that head was full of beards.


    It was him, that Deputy General Zhao, Jiang Yunzhu remembered him.


    ¡°Is this meat for sale?¡± Deputy General Zhao stared at the meat pot with bull¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°For sale.¡± Jiang Yunzhu subconsciously said.


    With two hearty laughs, Vice General Zhao randomly picked a stool and sat at a table behind.


    ¡°It¡¯s really delicious, boss, if you have anything to eat, just bring it up.¡± Two soldiers followed behind him, one of them said.


    Chen looks at these three people with anxiety, who are they? Also, the person in charge looks so fierce!


    Jiang Yunzhu quickly fished out the meat, chopped it into pieces, stuffed it into the white cake, poured thick soup, and brought it to their table.


    At this moment, Mrs. Chen also came to her senses, poured out the last two bowls of Hu spicy soup, and carefully brought it to Deputy General Zhao, saying timidly, ¡°There are only two bowls of soup left.¡± I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not enough for three people to share.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to buy a bowl of mutton soup, that¡¯s my favorite.¡± One of the soldiers stood up and went to the opposite stall to bring back a bowl of mutton soup.


    Deputy General Zhao ignored him, picked up a meat pie and bit it down.


    With his mouthful, less than half of a meat pie went away.


    The soup is thick and smooth, and the minced meat is soft and mellow, which is a perfect match with this white cake.


    After two more bites, a meat pie went straight into his stomach.


    Pick up another one, three bites in two, and finish eating again.


    After eating three in a row, he remembered that there was still soup, and gulped down a big mouthful of soup.


    Suddenly, his eyes lit up. This soup is an appetizer!


    A mouthful of soup, a mouthful of meat pie, he ate like running water.


    Five of the six meat pies went into his mouth. That bowl of soup was drunk even more.


    Beside, the soldier carrying mutton soup suddenly felt that the soup in his hand was not fragrant.

 Chapter 11

    ¡°Delicious.¡± It¡¯s a pity that he didn¡¯t eat enough, Deputy General Zhao said regretfully, looking at the empty casserole.


    A soldier next to him was gloomy, Mr. Zhao didn¡¯t eat enough, he didn¡¯t even taste it, he just smelled the aroma.


    ¡°If the guest thinks it¡¯s good, I¡¯ll save some more for you tomorrow.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Deputy General Zhao nodded, ¡°Then I¡¯ll come back tomorrow.¡±


    It was settled, the long-faced soldier paid for the meal, and the three left.


    When Mrs. Chen saw the money, she was overjoyed, and whispered to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°He ate forty kuai for this meal.¡± His tone was somber, and he wondered whether he was amazed at how much Vice General Zhao ate, or because he had just earned forty kuai. Happy.


    ¡°Are we food sellers still afraid of big-bellied men?¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. Forty dollars, in Chen¡¯s eyes, may be a lot of money, but in the eyes of rich people, it is not worth mentioning at all.


    That Deputy General Zhao is of high grade at first glance, so spending so much money is nothing at all.


    Chen thought about it too, ¡°Then let¡¯s make more stew tomorrow?¡± She asked expectantly.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Jiang Yunzhu nodded with a smile.


    Everyone continued to pack their things, and Mrs. Chen picked up a bowl on the table and went to the opposite side. That bowl is the one selling mutton soup on the opposite side. The soldier brought it over just now, so of course he has to return it now.


    The seller of mutton soup is a middle-aged couple, the woman¡¯s surname is Sun, and they make good soup.


    ¡°Your business is really good!¡± Mrs. Sun took the bowl and said with a half smile. Since Jiang Yunzhu started to set up a stall, her business has decreased a lot, especially today, the three deputy generals, who usually come to her to drink mutton soup, are her big customers, and they were snatched away by Jiang Yunzhu today. Can you not be angry.


    ¡°It¡¯s just earning hard money.¡± Chen said vaguely.


    Mrs. Sun was jealous, who was fooling, it was obvious that she had made money. She gritted her teeth, and asked in a homely manner, ¡°Look at your girl, she is beautiful and skilled, is there anyone?¡±


    ¡°no.¡±


    Mrs. Sun came to her senses immediately, ¡°Then you still let her show her face all day long?


    For girls, the most important thing is reputation. With her like this, who would dare to marry her in the future.


    Didn¡¯t you hurt her like this? She doesn¡¯t understand now, and she might blame you for the rest of her life in the future. ¡°


    Mrs. Chen turned pale at what she said. If possible, she certainly hoped that Jiang Yunzhu would have no worries about eating and drinking at home, and then marry a good husband. Mrs. Sun¡¯s words hit her weak spot.


    Seeing this, Mrs. Sun became even more energetic, ¡°This woman is dependent on her husband and children, no matter how much you earn¡­¡±


    ¡°In this case, why does Aunt Sun sell soup here every day?¡± Jiang Yunzhu heard her chewing her tongue a long time ago, and was annoyed in her heart, so she asked immediately.


    ¡°Why am I like you? I¡¯m married.¡± Mrs. Sun didn¡¯t expect Jiang Yunzhu, a junior, to interrupt, and immediately said annoyed.


    ¡°Why is it different? According to what my aunt said, you have a husband and a child, so you should take care of your husband and children at home.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Sun¡¯s face is ugly, she also wants to enjoy life at home, but it¡¯s not because the family is short of money!


    ¡°It can be seen that husbands and children are not necessarily reliable, but money is more reliable. In this case, why don¡¯t I make money first, but go home and dream, waiting for a good man to marry me?


    Which is more realistic, a smart person like aunt, wouldn¡¯t she not know?


    Or if my aunt did it on purpose, she can¡¯t look down on others. ¡°Jiang Yunzhu scoffed.


    Sun¡¯s mind was punctured, her face turned red, and she jumped to her feet, ¡°Who did it on purpose? I told you this for your own good, but you actually bit me back! It¡¯s really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, who doesn¡¯t know a good heart.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu sneered, the words ¡°for your own good¡± are the most hypocritical in the world. For your own good, I don¡¯t let you go out to make money. I only do this for your own good¡­ It¡¯s all a cover, it¡¯s all for myself.


    ¡°My aunt really wants to be good for me. She shouldn¡¯t say these words to make my mother sad. She should be more practical. For example, if someone slanders me, you can help me clarify. If someone else¡­¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu had only said a few words, and Sun wanted to pooh her face, she thought it was beautiful!


    ¡°Look!¡± Jiang Yunzhu said as expected. She said to Mrs. Chen, ¡°Mom, you saw it too. It¡¯s not for my own good at all. It just wants to suppress us and make us feel uncomfortable. If someone tells you something like this in the future, just don¡¯t listen to it.¡±


    Mrs. Chen also recalled it, and directly scratched Mrs. Sun¡¯s face, annoyed, ¡°If anyone speaks ill of my daughter in the future, I will be the first to look for you. You will dirty your conscience and your heart.¡±


    She grabbed it so hard that Sun¡¯s face was covered with blood.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Mrs. Sun didn¡¯t expect Mrs. Chen to look at a very gentle person and do it right away.


    Chen Shi stared at her closely, clenched his teeth, looking desperate. She has lost a daughter, for this daughter, she will do anything.


    Mrs. Sun was a little frightened by her aura, covered her face and said nothing.


    Mrs. Chen returned to her booth, pushed the cart, and went home with Jiang Yunzhu and the others.


    After they had gone a long way, Mrs. Sun came back to her senses and scolded, ¡°You still want to get married? Just wait and be an old lady at home!¡±


    Mrs. Chen didn¡¯t hear this sentence, otherwise she would come back and argue with her.


    But Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t care when she heard it. It didn¡¯t matter whether she married or not, as long as she had money.


    ¡°Yunzhu, what do you think of Qingshan?¡± On the way back, Mrs. Chen asked Jiang Yunzhu. In fact, she had been pretending about this matter in her heart, and she had the opportunity to ask Jiang Yunzhu today.


    ¡°Mother, you are in such a hurry to marry me off, you are not doing what others want.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Thinking about it, Mrs. Chen decided not to mention it for the time being. Now that the family is poor, they can¡¯t prepare any dowry for Jiang Yunzhu. She will still be poor when she gets married. When their family has money, everything will be different.


    Or Jiang Yunzhu was right, making money is the most important thing now! she thinks.


    Mrs. Chen became more motivated. If Mrs. Sun knew about it, she might be so angry that she would vomit blood.


    The next day, Jiang Yunzhu really stewed more than a catty of meat.


    Before Chen¡¯s time, Vice General Zhao arrived in a hurry with two soldiers.


    ¡°Delicious mutton soup.¡± Seeing him from afar, Sun yelled loudly.


    Deputy General Zhao¡¯s eyes were only on the big casserole in front of Jiang Yunzhu. He had been thinking about this pot of meat since last night.


    Mrs. Sun had already prepared, ¡°Guest, today I have your favorite lamb tongue, why don¡¯t you come and have some?¡±


    Hearing this, Deputy General Zhao stopped and looked towards her.


    Mrs. Sun glanced at Jiang Yunzhu and Mrs. Chen triumphantly, then picked up a sheep¡¯s tongue from the soup pot and showed it to Deputy General Zhao.


    It turns out that Sun¡¯s stall not only sells mutton soup, but also haggis soup. Vice-General Zhao likes to eat sheep tongue very much, so that Sun can come to her stall every day, she doesn¡¯t prepare sheep tongue for him every day, and only has it every now and then, just to seduce him.


    Yesterday, Mrs. Sun had an affair with Jiang Yunzhu and Mrs. Chen. She made up her mind to let Deputy Zhao come to her stall today, so she specially prepared sheep tongue today.


    When Chen received her gaze, she was angry and anxious. Today they deliberately stewed more than a catty of meat, if Deputy General Zhao and the three of them don¡¯t come to eat, it will be a loss! Besides, it¡¯s too annoying.


    Jiang Yunzhu was not in a hurry, she asked Jiang Cheng when she went back yesterday, Deputy General Zhao, among the defenders of the mine was only a deputy general surnamed Zhao, who was in charge of the internal and external patrol of the mine. This man has a straightforward personality and has never been harsh on miners, so many people know him.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought, such a person should fulfill the promise he made yesterday.

 Chapter 12

    Sure enough, Deputy General Zhao stopped for a moment, and then came over to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s stall.


    Chen¡¯s brows were beaming with joy. At this time, she was no longer afraid of Deputy General Zhao¡¯s fierce appearance, and immediately stepped forward and said enthusiastically, ¡°Sit down quickly, I¡¯ll get you some soup, how many bowls do you want?¡±


    ¡°Three bowls.¡± The soldier who didn¡¯t drink the Hu spicy soup yesterday said immediately, and he wanted to taste the soup today.


    Chen quickly served three bowls of hot soup.


    Here, Jiang Yunzhu also made meat pies and brought them up.


    Deputy Zhao is early today, and the soup and white cake are hotter than yesterday, and they are more delicious.


    A mouthful of soup, hot and sour and refreshing, a mouthful of meat pie, crispy and soft, I just feel that today is not in vain.


    The two soldiers couldn¡¯t stop eating.


    Vice-General Zhao ate eight meat pies and two bowls of soup by himself today, while the two soldiers each ate four meat pies and one bowl of soup. Jiang Yunzhu lamented that he was indeed a big customer.


    At the checkout, the three of them ate a total of 104 Wen, and Mrs. Chen said that 100 Wen would be fine.


    It was the long-faced **** who paid.


    After they left, Mrs. Chen crooked her brows and eyes with a bunch of money, which was worth half of their income yesterday. If there were more customers like them, why would they have no money to make!


    Jiang Yunzhu was also happy, which was a surprise.


    They were so happy that Sun¡¯s nose on the other side was almost crooked. She should have earned the one hundred dollars.


    Mrs. Chen could feel her jealous gaze, but ignored her, only thinking about how much stew he should make tomorrow, so as to keep Vice General Zhao, the God of Wealth.


    At this time, Jiang Yunxiu racked his brains thinking, how could he not wash the dishes today.


    Thinking of the cold well water and the mountain of dirty bowls, she felt chills all over and wanted to vomit!


    She wanted to take sick leave with Mrs. Zhou, so she didn¡¯t get up at this hour.


    When Mrs. Zhou comes later, she will¡­


    With a bang, the door was kicked open.


    ¡°It¡¯s not worth it. The bowls in the kitchen are piled up like a mountain. Why, wait for the master to serve you, do you want to be an aunt?¡± Mrs. Zhou held a willow stick in her hand, her face was drawn long, and she scolded, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I don¡¯t want to see if you have that life. If you don¡¯t get up to work, don¡¯t even think about eating today.¡±


    If you don¡¯t eat it, you don¡¯t eat it, and it¡¯s not a delicacy. Jiang Yunxiu was annoyed in her heart, but she didn¡¯t dare to speak out. She has tasted the power of the willow stick in Mrs. Zhou¡¯s hand. It burns and hurts her body like a branding iron.


    ¡°Boss Zhou, I¡­¡± She pretended to be weak and wanted to say that she was sick.


    ¡°Who are you pretending to show, Xiaolangzi, you have found the wrong person.¡± Mrs. Zhou became more and more annoyed. It was because of such a vicious girl who kept seducing men that men wanted to cheat. Seeing her not slapping her face today.


    Thinking about it, she took a willow stick and whipped it at Jiang Yunxiu.


    The wicker hit me, excruciating pain.


    Jiang Yunxiu didn¡¯t care about pretending to be sick, so she quickly got up and begged while hiding, ¡°Boss Zhou, don¡¯t hit me, I¡¯ll wash the dishes right away.¡±


    ¡°Not yet!¡±


    Jiang Yunxiu didn¡¯t dare to say any more, and went to the backyard of the kitchen to wash the dishes.


    There, Tian Ying and Xiao Dong, the round-faced girl who came with them, were already washing the dishes.


    The three of them washed the dishes together, but Jiang Yunxiu had a harder time than the other two. She wanted to pretend to be sick, and she missed breakfast in the morning, and now she is hungry. Also, the slap on her shoulder hurt badly.


    Today, the sky in Anping Hou Mansion is still very blue, and the surroundings are still full of flowers, but Jiang Yunxiu has no intention of admiring them.


    She wondered if her fate had gone awry. Did Jiang Yunzhu wash dishes every day when he first arrived in the Marquis of Anping? Or she was particularly unlucky and was assigned to the kitchen.


    She regretted a little, she should have asked Jiang Yunzhu in her dream how she became the young wife of the Hou Mansion.


    But soon, she abandoned this idea, what Jiang Yunzhu can do, she can too. In the dream, she actually seduced Lin Ting¡¯an, but at that time she didn¡¯t have the appearance, so of course she couldn¡¯t win his favor. But now, she is two points more beautiful than Jiang Yunzhu, as long as she sees him¡­


    ¡°I¡¯m going to the bathroom.¡± After an unknown amount of time, Tian Ying said suddenly, and got up.


    Xiaodong continued to wash the dishes without any response, but Jiang Yunxiu raised her head and followed her figure. When her figure disappeared into the corner, a tall figure came out of the kitchen over there. He looked around, exhaled two breaths of steam as if bored, and then walked towards the direction where Tian Ying disappeared.


    The man was Gao Shun. Now that it was past breakfast time, Mrs. Zhou was instructing the people in the kitchen to pack up, while he was free.


    Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s eyes flickered, she suspected that there was something between Tian Ying and Gao Shun.


    It¡¯s none of her business at all, but¡­ She wanted to understand one thing just now. Just washing dishes in the backyard of the kitchen, she would never see Lin Ting¡¯an, the eldest son of the Hou family, in her life.


    She didn¡¯t want to do this, she wanted to be the young wife of the Hou¡¯s mansion!


    Then she has two choices, one is to please Mrs. Zhou. She is the steward of the kitchen, and if she pleases her, she will have the opportunity to go out of the kitchen to various courtyards in the mansion and meet Lin Ting¡¯an.


    2. To please Gao Shun, he will lose face in front of Marquis Anping, if he is willing to help, maybe he can directly transfer her to Yixue Hall.


    Yixue Hall is where Lin Ting lives.


    Jiang Yunxiu didn¡¯t want to choose either, but if she had to choose one, she would choose the former. That Gao Shun is a full-fledged pervert, she might be taken advantage of if she tries to deal with him, then how can she be the young lady of Houfu.


    Moreover, someone has already hooked up with Gao Shun, so if she goes again, she may not get any benefits.


    Washing dishes in the backyard for the past few days, she gradually realized why Mrs. Zhou didn¡¯t want to see her and Tian Ying anymore, for fear that they would seduce Gao Shun! Then to please Mrs. Zhou, she had to prove her loyalty to her.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to the toilet too.¡± Thinking of this, Jiang Yunxiu said.


    Turn around the corner, go left and go around a corridor to see the toilet, but Jiang Yunxiu went to the right.


    On the right is a small garden. At this hour, it is very quiet here.


    Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s sharp eyes saw that the clothes behind the garden crabapple belonged to Tian Ying.


    She tiptoed over.


    At this time, Gao Shun was all smiles, and was about to pull Tian Ying.


    However, Tian Ying shook off his hand, and said softly, ¡°Don¡¯t touch me, if you turn around and be seen by Manager Zhou, you won¡¯t eat me.¡±


    ¡°That old godly woman, she dares, I can¡¯t stop watching her!¡± Gao Shun immediately said forcefully.


    ¡°Are you really going to divorce her for me?¡± Tian Ying asked.


    ¡°Of course, I have long disliked her.¡± Gao Shun hugged Tian Ying while talking.


    But Tian Ying pushed him away and said aggrievedly, ¡°It¡¯s a lie. I don¡¯t ask for anything else. If you really like me, you can change my job. Look at my hands.¡± He stretched out his hand to Gao Shun¡¯s eyes.


    I saw the onion-like hands turned white from the soak.


    Gao Shun immediately took her hand distressedly, ¡°I¡¯m trying to find a way, you know, that old godmother is watching you closely.¡±


    ¡°Then you should think about it quickly. Let me tell you, if you don¡¯t change my job for a day, don¡¯t even try to touch me.¡±


    Gao Shun was a little annoyed, he just wanted to play with Tian Ying, who would have thought she would take Joe like this.


    Seeing his expression, Tian Ying knew it in her heart, and swirled her fingertips around his chest.


    Gao Shun was distracted by being teased, and immediately patted his chest and promised that he would help her.


    Jiang Yunxiu was listening there, both annoyed and thankful. Annoyed that Tian Ying asked Gao Shun to transfer her away, if she left, wouldn¡¯t Mrs. Zhou want to torture her even more? Fortunately, I am glad that I discovered it early, as long as I tell Mrs. Zhou about it¡­


    The author has something to say:


    It is tentatively scheduled to be updated every night at 6 o¡¯clock, and the rest of the time is to catch bugs

 Chapter 13

    Here, Jiang Yunzhu and Mrs. Chen cleaned up the stall and returned home.


    At Sishi, they went to the town to buy things for the afternoon.


    ¡°Today¡¯s meat is really good.¡± Chen looked at the piece of pork belly and said with satisfaction, thinking that such a piece should be enough for Deputy General Zhao and the others to eat tomorrow.


    Jiang Yunzhu stared at another piece of meat on the butcher stall, thinking about it, ¡°Boss, is this beef?¡± she asked.


    ¡°Yeah, why, do you want it?¡± The butcher stall owner was surprised at first, and then asked pleasantly.


    The Xia Dynasty attached great importance to farming and did not allow people to kill cattle in private, so most of the beef on the market is the meat of some old cattle, not to mention twice as expensive as pork, and it is also difficult to make, so except for restaurants, ordinary people rarely have it. bought.


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to buy a piece, so he asked the price.


    The meat stall owner gave a very affordable price.


    Jiang Yunzhu immediately decided to buy two catties.


    Chen Shi watched from the side, although she didn¡¯t know what she was going to do, but now she chose to believe her.


    ¡°Then this pork belly?¡± she asked.


    ¡°How about buying two catties?¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Is two catties enough?¡± Mrs. Chen was surprised. The three of Deputy General Zhao ate a catty of meat this morning.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be selling meat pancakes tomorrow.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°I sold meat pancakes before because I wanted to attract customers with the aroma of stewed meat so that I could sell soup. But in our place, there are few rich people. It is suitable for selling meat pies. You see, apart from the three people this morning, there are actually only a few people who buy meat pies these days.


    Now that we have more customers, we don¡¯t need to make stew. ¡°


    ¡°Then the three guests this morning¡­¡± Chen was anxious, she didn¡¯t want to lose those three guests.


    ¡°They ate so many meat pies this morning, will they still want to eat them tomorrow?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    Mrs. Chen was stunned, yes, no matter how delicious it is, it cannot be eaten every day.


    ¡°Then what should I do?¡± she asked hurriedly.


    Jiang Yunzhu shook the beef in his hand, ¡°I¡¯ll make it tomorrow.¡±


    Seeing that she looked confident, Mrs. Chen was a little relieved, but soon, she remembered, no, since I won¡¯t be making meat pies tomorrow, what¡¯s the point of buying meat.


    ¡°Mother, it¡¯s time for our family to eat meat.¡± Jiang Yunzhu held Chen¡¯s hand and said earnestly.


    These days, they stewed meat and boiled bones every day, but no one in the family ate a bite. Although Jiang Wu and the others were sensible and did not make trouble, their round eyes looked at Jiang Yunzhu eagerly every day. Jiang Yunzhu really couldn¡¯t hold on up.


    Moreover, she also wants to eat meat!


    Why does Chen not want her family to eat meat? Every time she sees the expectant eyes of the children, her heart feels like being soaked in acid water. But the meat was going to be sold, so she could only harden her heart and pretend not to see it.


    Today, Jiang Yunzhu made a mistake, and she said cruelly, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s eat stew.¡± Soon she convinced herself and added, ¡°I made a lot of money today, so it should be enough for food.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, and she knew that Mrs. Chen still loved them.


    At this time, Mrs. Chen said again, ¡°Why don¡¯t we invite the village chief, Father Xu, and Aunt Feng over here. Our family can live here safely, and they helped a lot.¡±


    In order to register the household registration for their family, the village head built a package of tea leaves himself; Mrs. Feng was willing to rent the house to them at such a low price. Last time she went to bring her soup, she gave her several big steamed buns; And Father Xu, he and Xu Qingshan helped them all the way, and when they arrived at Changshi Village, he helped them speak well to the village chief so that they could stay smoothly.


    One by one, one by one, Mrs. Chen remembered it all in her heart.


    ¡°We moved to a new house, so we should have invited everyone to have a meal and have fun,¡± she said.


    Jiang Yunzhu had no objection.


    ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s buy more vegetables.¡± Mrs. Chen didn¡¯t care about money this time.


    Returning with a full load, in the afternoon, in addition to preparing the food to be sold the next day, the family also began to prepare dinner.


    Their family didn¡¯t know many people here, and it was a rented house, so Mrs. Chen didn¡¯t want to make a big deal, but just took this opportunity to have fun.


    Taking time out, she went to the village chief¡¯s house and Mrs. Feng¡¯s house to invite people.


    Gu Yongde had nothing to say to Mr. Xu, only that he would be there at night.


    Mrs. Feng¡¯s house, Mrs. Chen has repeatedly emphasized, ¡°Everyone comes tonight, if you don¡¯t come, I will come to invite people.¡±


    Mrs. Feng has two sons, both of whom are married and have children. There are six people in their family.


    Old lady Feng agreed repeatedly.


    After Mrs. Chen left, she squinted at her two daughter-in-laws, ¡°How is it?¡± At that time, she saw that Mrs. Chen and the others were pitiful, and rented the house to them at a low price. I feel at a loss.


    What now?


    She knew that the Jiang family looked kind and down-to-earth. When everyone is in trouble, if you can help, you still need to help.


    The two daughters-in-law chatted.


    ¡°Then do we really want the whole family to go?¡± asked the second daughter-in-law. There are too many people, and they are all embarrassed.


    ¡°Go, I see that they are sincerely inviting our family. Bring two of the chickens from the house.¡± Old Mrs. Feng said.


    Two chickens are not cheap anymore, the two daughters-in-law thought to themselves. But when they arrived at Jiang¡¯s house and saw the meals prepared by Mrs. Chen and Jiang Yunzhu, they only felt that they were getting too little chicken.


    Only then did they truly believe in Mrs. Feng¡¯s vision that the Jiang family was a good one, and they underestimated them.


    This family is worth paying for!


    Tonight, Mrs. Chen and Jiang Yunzhu directly cooked two tables of noodles.


    The materials Mrs. Chen bought included chicken and fish. After Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s skillful cooking, the two tables of food, even Gu Yongde, who is used to eating, were speechless.


    How did the chicken smell so good? And that bowl of emerald green soup, the radish in it is even carved?


    The two tables of meals made by Jiang Yunzhu are actually just average. In my dream, I was in the Marquis of Anping, so I never tire of fine food, and never tire of fine food.


    ¡°Whose craftsmanship is this?¡± Gu Yongde asked in amazement.


    ¡°Yunzhu made it, and I will help.¡± Chen said with a smile.


    ¡°My sister actually has this kind of skill? Where did she learn it?¡± Mrs. Feng¡¯s second daughter-in-law asked.


    ¡°We ordinary people, if we don¡¯t have any skills, we can just do it.¡±


    Mrs. Chen¡¯s words are true. Ordinary people who would go out of their way to learn how to cook can do it every day.


    Of course, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s cooking level has improved a bit quickly, which is the result of her deliberate suppression.


    ¡°Hey, it¡¯s the same as cooking. It¡¯s delicious if someone cooks it. A bowl of mixed wild vegetables can also give you a taste, but someone else can¡¯t. It¡¯s a waste of good things.¡± Gu Yongde said.


    ¡°What do you mean, I wasted something?¡± His daughter-in-law immediately snorted jokingly.


    ¡°I did not mean that.¡±


    Everyone laughed and passed, but everyone felt that the girl from the Jiang family was really nice, she was good-looking, and her craftsmanship was so good.


    ¡°Hurry up and eat, or it won¡¯t taste good when it gets cold.¡± Jiang Cheng said.


    ¡°Yes, yes, eat quickly.¡± Mrs. Chen followed suit with a warm greeting.


    Everyone sat down one after another. Over there, Gu Yongde, Mr. Chen, Mr. Xu, Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Feng¡¯s three sons exchanged glasses and drank to their heart¡¯s content. Here, Mrs. Feng and the others also ate full of praise.


    Everyone ate, drank and chatted, and the relationship was pulled together a lot.


    Life seems to be like this, lively and lively.


    After dinner, Mrs. Feng¡¯s two daughters-in-law offered to stay and help clean up. As a big family, they felt sorry for eating such delicious food.


    Besides, after chatting with Mrs. Chen just now, they all felt that she was a good person and were willing to help her.


    ¡°You are guests, how can this be done!¡± Mrs. Chen said hastily.


    ¡°Let them help, otherwise we won¡¯t feel at ease. You have to set up a stall tomorrow, so don¡¯t delay your business.¡± Mrs. Feng made a final decision.


    Human hearts are fleshy, if you treat me well, I will naturally treat you well.


    Old Mrs. Feng¡¯s two daughters-in-law were quick-witted, and within a short while, everything had been cleaned up.


    ¡°If there is anything to do in the future, just say hello.¡± Mrs. Feng said before leaving.


    Her two sons and daughter-in-law also nodded.


    Chen agreed with a smile.


    Everyone dispersed.


    In the evening, Mrs. Chen was calculating how much money she spent today. After the calculation, she was even more eager to make money. If it wasn¡¯t for the fear of tiring Jiang Yunzhu, she would have wished to get up and cook immediately.


    By the way, she also remembered a very important thing. Jiang Yunzhu hasn¡¯t told her what she plans to do tomorrow to keep Vice General Zhao, the God of Wealth!


    Jiang Yunzhu naturally knew it well.

 Chapter 14

    On the second day, Vice General Zhao led two soldiers down the mine without haste.


    ¡°Guest, I also have sheep tongue today, come and have a bowl!¡± Mrs. Sun greeted with a smile. According to her thinking, Vice General Zhao didn¡¯t eat sheep tongue yesterday, so he should have one today.


    Vice General Zhao frowned. He ate so many meat pies yesterday morning and drank a lot of wine with his colleagues in the evening. He has no appetite at the moment.


    ¡°Come and sit, you haven¡¯t come to eat our mutton soup for several days, our small business is not easy.¡± Sun said, and invited the three of them to the stall.


    She was so enthusiastic, and since she hadn¡¯t eaten sheep tongue for a few days, Vice General Zhao took two steps inside.


    At this moment, the long-faced soldier behind him suddenly said, ¡°Hey, the little lady¡¯s family actually made porridge today.¡±


    When Mrs. Sun heard the words, she wished she could sew up that soldier¡¯s mouth.


    The soldier also happened to see it and said it casually.


    Deputy General Zhao was taken aback, porridge, what porridge?


    He turned his head and looked across, only to see that it was still the same big casserole, but today the stew in the casserole was not meat, but a pot of white rice porridge.


    The rice porridge was bubbling, as if rice oil had been boiled out. It looked extremely light, but a scent that only belonged to white rice wafted along with the wind, refreshing the heart and lungs.


    Before Deputy General Zhao could react, his legs had already left for Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s stall.


    ¡°Guest, don¡¯t go, I¡¯ve fished out the goat¡¯s tongue for you, guest!¡± Deputy General Zhao had already left, and Mrs. Sun stood there staring.


    After a while, she threw the sheep tongue back into the soup pot as if venting her anger, this business can¡¯t be done!


    Mrs. Chen has also been staring at Deputy General Zhao. Jiang Yunzhu said this morning that she wanted to sell porridge, and her heart skipped a beat. What¡¯s so good about porridge? Can it sell earthquakes?


    As a result, as soon as Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s porridge came out of the pot, there were quite a few people who bought it, and it seemed that the sales were no worse than the meat pies.


    But she was still very worried about whether Vice General Zhao would buy it or not, he was the big customer!


    Just now, Vice General Zhao was about to go to Sun¡¯s stall, and she was almost desperate.


    At this moment, Vice Admiral Zhao came over again, the expression on her face hadn¡¯t adjusted yet, she asked a little awkwardly, ¡°Guest, today we have raw beef porridge, do you want to try it?¡±


    ¡°Raw beef porridge?¡± Hearing it was hot and wanted to drink it.


    ¡°Yes, this kind of porridge is the best for warming the stomach and nourishing people.¡± Chen Shi learned from Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Okay, give me a bowl.¡± Vice General Zhao said simply.


    ¡°I want a bowl too.¡± The long-faced soldier was still thinking, if it was just plain porridge, he wouldn¡¯t drink it, but he didn¡¯t expect it to be beef porridge, so he had to try it.


    ¡°I want a bowl too.¡± Another soldier followed suit.


    ¡°Okay, three bowls of raw beef porridge.¡± Chen called to Jiang Yunzhu excitedly.


    ¡°Okay, wait a moment, I¡¯ll be ready soon.¡± Jiang Yunzhu responded crisply.


    Then she swiftly took out three small casserole pots and put them on the stove. She scooped the white rice porridge into the small casserole pots. scattered.


    In five minutes, the beef will change color, sprinkle with chopped green onion, and three bowls of raw beef porridge are ready.


    The whole process is like flowing clouds and flowing water.


    Deputy General Zhao and the three of them just watched her make porridge and smelled the porridge, and they felt that the porridge must be delicious. When the porridge was served, it was still bubbling and bubbling, all the rice grains were blooming, and the smell of beef mixed with the fragrance of green onion and rice, they all swallowed a mouthful of water.


    Scoop a spoonful of rice porridge with a spoon. The rice porridge is soft and glutinous, with a strong grain fragrance.


    Eat a piece of beef, the beef is tender and indescribably delicious.


    The porridge is very hot, so you have to drink it in small sips, and it seems that only in this way can you taste the taste of the porridge slowly.


    After finishing the three bowls of porridge, the three of them felt warm all over. If it is said that the spicy soup is domineering and makes you energetic for a while, this raw beef porridge is like a warm spring, making you feel comfortable from the inside out.


    ¡°This is a good thing, let them try it next time.¡± Deputy General Zhao smacked his lips. He said that his two colleagues, they are not as good at drinking as he is, and they are probably still dizzy at the moment, if they can drink such a bowl of porridge¡­


    No, why wait for the next time.


    ¡°Can I make two servings of this porridge, can I take it to the mountain?¡± He asked Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Of course.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, if he was willing to pay, she could even find someone to send him to the mountain.


    Takeaway, she can do it!


    ¡°Hey, now they have to thank me very much.¡± Deputy General Zhao slapped his thigh and smiled.


    Jiang Yunzhu cooked the porridge immediately, fearing that the smell of the porridge would be scattered on the road, so she handed the casserole to Deputy General Zhao.


    Vice General Zhao didn¡¯t need the soldiers behind him, he carried two casserole pots by himself. His hands were as big as cattail fans, and he carried two casserole pots effortlessly.


    The long-faced soldier paid the money, and he walked up the mountain with his long legs.


    He was very fast, and when he reached the mountain, he opened the lid of the casserole, and the porridge inside was still bubbling.


    ¡°Where is this porridge?¡± A thin lieutenant surnamed Li asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s definitely not made in our kitchen. Dogs don¡¯t even eat it made in our kitchen.¡± The black-faced lieutenant surnamed Bao said.


    ¡°Then you eat the food cooked in the kitchen every day, aren¡¯t you a dog?¡± the thin Lieutenant General Li asked with a smile.


    As soon as these words came out, all three of them laughed. Then it stopped suddenly, their heads, they drank a little too much last night, and now they are hurting.


    ¡°Drink porridge, drink porridge.¡± Lieutenant General Li said.


    He took a sip of the porridge with a spoon, ¡°Brother Zhao, this porridge is good, it seems that I have to thank you this time, and you know how to bring us porridge.¡±


    ¡°I have something good to do that I didn¡¯t think about you.¡± Deputy General Zhao said with a roll of his eyes, his face was full of complacency.


    After a while, after finishing the two bowls of porridge, Lieutenant General Li and Vice General Bao felt comfortable and scraped the bottom of the pot with their spoons.


    Chen received the money from the long-faced soldier, with a smile on his face.


    While packing up, she said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°We made too much porridge today, and I thought we would have leftovers. Who would have thought that the guest ate three bowls by himself, and took two bowls away.¡± There was nothing wasted in the words And the joy of making money.


    Jiang Yunzhu actually wanted to say that she made the extra two bowls for the Jiang family. Last night, their family was busy until midnight, and they got up so early this morning. Everyone only slept for more than three hours, and they should eat a bowl of beef porridge.


    Forget it, sell it.


    At this moment, Mrs. Chen asked again, ¡°What shall we sell tomorrow morning? Beef porridge, meat pies, or something else?¡± She now listens to Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°If there is beef in the town, let¡¯s still sell beef porridge.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, she wanted to drink beef porridge.


    The business policy she has set now is to produce Hu spicy soup and steamed buns for a long time, which are mainly sold to the common people. Meat pies, beef porridge or other things are exchanged. She can do whatever she wants, so that what she makes is interesting and the guests will find it innovative. Why not do it.


    Today they were really lucky, there was beef at the butcher¡¯s stall in the town, Jiang Yunzhu bought two catties, and decided to make, well, instead of making raw beef porridge, she suddenly wanted to drink beef porridge with smooth eggs.


    It was very late at night, and everything in Changshi Village was quiet, except for Jiang¡¯s house at the head of the village, which was still lit, and hot smoke was coming out of the chimney.


    On the road not far away, two horses galloped over suddenly, and immediately sat two people. They were dressed in black, and seemed to blend in with the night.


    Soon they arrived at the head of Changshi Village and saw the lights of Jiang¡¯s house.


    ¡°It smells so good!¡± Yang Sheng raised his nose and looked into Jiang¡¯s courtyard, his stomach also growled.


    Shen Fengming also looked towards Jiang¡¯s courtyard.


    ¡°We¡¯ve already arrived at Wuling Mine, why don¡¯t we stay here, and then we¡¯ll find out the news slowly.¡± Yang Sheng suggested.


    ¡°I think you want to eat other people¡¯s food.¡± Shen Fengming exposed him coldly.


    Yang Sheng chuckled, got off his horse, and knocked on the door of Jiang¡¯s house.

 Chapter 15

    At this time, the Jiang family has already boiled the bone soup and kneaded the dough, and they will wait until tomorrow morning to add ingredients to cook the soup and deep-fry buns.


    Suddenly there was a knock on the door, ¡°Is someone knocking on the door?¡± Mrs. Chen suspected that she had heard wrong, who would knock on the door at this hour.


    And listening to the knock on the door, he was not in a hurry. It should not be something urgent.


    ¡°Mother, could it be¡­¡± Jiang Yunxue was timid and asked tremblingly. She wanted to say, there must be ghosts, right? There are many legends about ghosts in the mountain village. The one who knocked on the door at this time may really be¡­ She dare not say that word, and she doesn¡¯t say ghosts at night!


    Chen Shi also clenched the water ladle in her hand, could it be¡­


    ¡°I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± Jiang Cheng said immediately. He doesn¡¯t believe that there are ghosts in this world, even if there are ghosts, he has to protect his family.


    ¡°Father, take this.¡± Jiang Yunzhu handed Jiang Cheng a wooden stick used to lift the barrel.


    Jiang Cheng took the stick and walked outside.


    Jiang Yunzhu was worried, took a kitchen knife and followed behind. She is not afraid of ghosts, she is only afraid of bandits and robbers.


    The person who knocked on the door seemed to have heard footsteps in the courtyard, and stopped knocking on the door.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Jiang Cheng asked standing in the courtyard.


    ¡°Businessmen passing by, somehow lost their way and came to the mountain. It is late at night and the dew is heavy. I want to spend the night with you and get some food. I am bothering you!¡± Yang Sheng said very politely.


    When Jiang Cheng heard that this was the case, he was relieved and prepared to open the door.


    But Jiang Yunzhu stopped him and asked people outside, ¡°I don¡¯t know where the merchants come from and where are they going?¡± After asking, she suddenly felt that these words sound familiar. By the way, if there are four masters and apprentices outside, it will be more familiar to answer ¡°The poor monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty¡±.


    Yang Sheng had already prepared, ¡°We came from Changfeng Mansion. Changfeng Mansion was hit by a disaster and the price of grain was extremely high. We wanted to buy some grain in Luzhou and sell it back.¡±


    Hearing that it was from Changfeng Mansion, Jiang Cheng felt even more close.


    Jiang Yunzhu asked, ¡°Is the merchant from Changfeng Mansion?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± They spoke with a capital accent, ¡°We are just doing business in Changfeng Mansion.¡±


    ¡°There is Lincang County in Changfeng Mansion, do merchants know about it?¡±


    ¡°Yes, we¡¯ve been there to sell food.¡±


    ¡°Oh? I have been very worried about how my relatives in Lincang County are doing now. I heard that the drought there is very serious. I don¡¯t know if the Cangshui River in Lincang County still has water.¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    Yang Sheng wanted to laugh outside, but inside this girl is really a second person. There is no Cangshui River in Lincang County, there is only one Cangshan Mountain. If they haven¡¯t been to Lincang County, they really can¡¯t answer her question.


    For a moment, he suddenly wanted to tease the girl inside, telling her that the Cangshui River was out of water, and see how she would react.


    But forget it, he is now hungry and cold, so it¡¯s better not to cause problems.


    ¡°Did the girl remember wrongly? Where is there a river in Lincang County, there is only one Cangshan Mountain.¡± He said.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t feel embarrassed when she was exposed, she just said, ¡°Really? I haven¡¯t been there for a long time, maybe I really remembered it wrong. By the way, what¡¯s the price of food in Changfeng Mansion now?¡±


    ¡°Good rice is thirty-five yuan a catty, and brown rice is eighteen yuan a catty. They are too expensive.¡± Yang Sheng said.


    Jiang Cheng was speechless, rice is so expensive? He was even more fortunate to have moved out of Changfeng mansion early.


    ¡°However, I heard that the price of rice is going to drop. The imperial court sent some commander to kill many officials of Changfeng Mansion, and distributed a lot of rice for disaster relief. Now the disaster situation is much better than before.¡± Yang Sheng said at the same time. He looked at Shen Fengming and smiled.


    The girl inside didn¡¯t want to hear about the situation in Changfeng Mansion, so he simply told her to see if they really came from Changfeng Mansion.


    As for the commander, it was Shen Fengming who was talking about it, so his words were teasing.


    When Jiang Yunzhu heard what he said about the commander, she immediately thought of Shen Fengming, and she said that sure enough, she said that the killing **** had gone to Changfeng Mansion, so can Changfeng Mansion be safe?


    ¡°Is there anything else you want to ask, Miss? We are indeed merchants from Changfeng Mansion. Even if the price of food in Changfeng Mansion is lowered, it is still much more expensive than in Luzhou. We feel that this trip will be profitable, so we came here.


    Who would have thought of getting lost.


    Girl, we don¡¯t eat and drink for free, we give money. ¡± he said sincerely.


    At this moment, Jiang Cheng couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, and replied, ¡°You don¡¯t need to pay, it¡¯s not easy for anyone outside.¡± After saying that, he went to open the door.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t stop him this time. She just remembered that this place is not far from Wuling Mine. There is a large army stationed in Wuling Mine. Any robber or bandit who dares to rob here is looking for his own death.


    There may be really lost merchants outside.


    ¡°Squeak.¡± The door opened.


    ¡°Who is it!¡± Chen was worried, and came out with a lamp, which illuminated the people inside and outside the door.


    Yang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, he had no impression of Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi, but Jiang Yunzhu, the girl swaying in the candlelight, he did have an impression, ¡°You are not that¡­¡± It is rare that he even showed his smiling face Surprised emoticon of the day.


    Shen Fengming also saw Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s appearance clearly, and was slightly surprised.


    Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi also recognized the two of them, and were very surprised, how did they come here? By the way, those who followed them.


    Jiang Yunzhu, on the other hand, was like a thunderbolt, with only one thought in his head, the killing **** came to the door!


    What Yang Sheng just said about merchants was a joke. When did their Qilin Guards start trafficking food? Still getting lost, how many lands and roads there are in the Great Xia Dynasty, doesn¡¯t Qilin Guard know?


    Get lost!


    ¡°Are you merchants?¡± Jiang Cheng asked, why didn¡¯t he feel like it! Especially when they were riding tall horses with a team of black-clothed guards.


    The corner of Yang Sheng¡¯s mouth twitched, this feeling of being slapped in the face! But the words had already been spoken, so he could only say, ¡°Yes, we are indeed merchants. We came from the capital and wanted to do business in Changfeng Mansion. We hired those bodyguards because we heard that Changfeng Mansion was not safe.


    Now that you leave Changfeng Mansion, you don¡¯t need those people anymore. ¡°


    Jiang Cheng looked the two of them up and down, they were both very expensive, probably even if they were merchants, they were also sons of wealthy merchants in the capital.


    After thinking about it, he hurriedly said, ¡°Then come in quickly, it¡¯s cold outside.¡±


    Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming stepped into the courtyard.


    Jiang Cheng closed the door and led the two of them into the house.


    Only then did Jiang Yunzhu come back to his senses, it was too late to stop him. Although, she couldn¡¯t stop it.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine if it¡¯s not a ghost.¡± Chen walked behind and whispered. She is most afraid of ghosts and monsters.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled wryly when he heard that, these two are scarier than ghosts. Wherever they went, there were no undead. Now they came to Changshi Village for what?


    Dead¡­ Suddenly, she remembered a tragedy that happened in Luzhou.


    Gu Yanzhou, yes, that¡¯s the name. She said that she felt a little familiar when she heard it, and it turned out to be him!


    Also, she was wondering before, wasn¡¯t Xu Qingshan in Qinghe Village in the dream, why is he in Changshi Village now, isn¡¯t it?


    With associations in his mind, Jiang Yunzhu just felt like falling into an ice cellar.

 Chapter 16

    How does this matter have anything to do with Gu Yanzhou? This is about the No. 1 Scholar case four years later in the dream.


    That year was the year of the Grand Competition, and all the students went to Beijing, and once they won, it was really ¡°the spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang¡¯an in one day¡±.


    And this year¡¯s scientific examination shocked Manchu even more.


    According to the usual practice, after each scientific examination, the papers for the champion, the second place, and the third prize will be pasted on the side of the Jinshui Bridge for people all over the world to look up to. One is to show the fairness of imperial examinations, and only talented people are admitted, and the other is to encourage people all over the world to study hard.


    But this year¡¯s number one scholar¡¯s paper, someone actually discovered that there is something different in it. On the surface, it looks like a beautiful article of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, but there is a hidden article.


    The target of the call-to-action is directed at Shen Fengming, the Commander of the Qilin Guards. He enumerates ten serious crimes, including his monopolizing power, killing innocent people indiscriminately, and so on.


    I won¡¯t say anything else, just talk about killing innocent people indiscriminately.


    It turned out that on the night of Lidong four years ago, the Zhuangyuan Lang¡¯s family and the whole village were killed. The government said that it was bandits, but the Zhuangyuan insisted that it was Shen Fengming who killed him.


    The village is full of people, more than 200 people, men, women, old and children, just like that, were killed by Shen Fengming for no reason!


    For a while, the government and the public were shocked. Some people said that Zhuangyuan Lang should be executed. He falsely accused the court officials and deserved to be punished for his crime.


    Some people tried their best to protect him and demanded a thorough investigation of Shen Fengming, saying that it was not without reason.


    In one day, Emperor Qinglong issued three imperial edicts.


    This incident caused a lot of trouble, but many people didn¡¯t know it, and they were all suppressed by the court.


    Emperor Qinglong did not punish Shen Fengming, but a group of people against him appeared in the court, and the undercurrents were raging.


    Gu Yanzhou disappeared without a trace, just like he suddenly appeared.


    Jiang Yunzhu was already Lin Tingan¡¯s personal maid at that time, and Lin Tingan attached great importance to this matter, so she knew something about it.


    The number one scholar is called Gu Yanzhou, from Luzhou!


    Jiang Yunzhu was not sure that this Gu Yanzhou was that Gu Yanzhou, because at that time she only listened to a few words intermittently.


    But now Shen Fengming is here¡­


    Think again about Xu Qingshan¡¯s marriage success, but in the end he went to Qinghe Village, eight or nine is not far from ten!


    Xu Qingshan and Father Xu went to visit relatives in Changshi Village, Shen Fengming came, and the whole village of Changshi Village was killed. Xu Qingshan and Gu Yanzhou escaped, but they got separated. Gu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know where to stay to collect Shen Fengming¡¯s criminal evidence. Four years later, he participated in the scientific examination and made such a shocking event. Xu Qingshan went to Qinghe Village, where he later met the Jiang family.


    It seems absurd, but everything is traceable.


    The more I thought about it, the more I felt this way, Jiang Yunzhu felt chills down his spine. Sure enough, it would be no good to kill the gods and come to the door, and the whole village was killed?


    She was not sure if Shen Fengming did this, but the crisis in front of her was real.


    what to do? If she didn¡¯t explain the reason, Jiang Cheng and the others would definitely not go with her. But even if the reason was explained, they escaped suddenly, with Shen Fengming¡¯s vigilance and vigilance, he would definitely suspect them, and he would not be able to explain clearly at that time.


    And just like the matter of time travel, the things in the dream are also her secrets, and she doesn¡¯t want to tell anyone.


    Besides, there are Father Xu, the village chief, Mrs. Feng and the whole village!


    But if she doesn¡¯t escape, what should she do?


    The night of Lidong, this year¡¯s Lidong is November 7th, today is October 25th, that is to say, there are still thirteen days¡­


    ¡°Yunzhu, what are you thinking?¡± Seeing Jiang Yunzhu standing still, Mrs. Chen asked aloud.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think about anything.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said quickly.


    ¡°Give me a hand and get them something to eat.¡± Chen Shi said.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu followed into the kitchen.


    Scoop out some of the boiled bone soup, add vegetables and other ingredients, and immediately it will be two bowls of Hu spicy soup.


    But the steamed buns are a bit troublesome, the dough has just been kneaded and needs to be fermented for a while before it can be fried.


    ¡°What should I do?¡± When it comes to cooking, Chen is used to asking Jiang Yunzhu, feeling that she always has a way.


    There is flour at home, a piece of beef, and a lot of radishes, spinach, bean curds, etc. Jiang Yunzhu immediately had an idea.


    After a while, the food was ready, and she and Mrs. Chen took it to a side room next to it. There Jiang Cheng poured two cups of hot water for Shen Fengming and the others, and brought them a basin of warm water to wash their hands.


    Yang Sheng was very curious about how Jiang Cheng and the others got here.


    Jiang Cheng then told about their experience.


    Hearing that Jiang Cheng said that he was working as a miner in Wuling Mine, Yang Sheng immediately became interested, and pulled him to sit down and said.


    When Jiang Yunzhu came in, he heard Jiang Cheng talking about the mine.


    She hurriedly interrupted, ¡°The food is ready, the two merchants must be hungry, hurry up and eat while it¡¯s hot!¡± Speaking of the two merchants, the corners of her mouth trembled, the two of them looked like merchants.


    Yang Sheng was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. At this moment, he smelled the smell of food and immediately attracted his attention.


    ¡°Father, Mother and I can¡¯t lift the soup bucket in the kitchen, so you can help us.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said to Jiang Cheng.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Cheng got up immediately.


    The three members of the Jiang family came to the kitchen.


    ¡°What soup bucket?¡± Jiang Cheng turned around, but didn¡¯t find the soup bucket that needed to be carried.


    ¡°Father, I think those two people are not easy, you should tell them less about the mine.¡± Jiang Yunzhu decided to let Jiang Cheng and Chen¡¯s be on guard against Shen Fengming.


    ¡°Really?¡± It¡¯s not easy, the son of a rich businessman in the capital, of course it¡¯s not easy. It was not easy for Jiang Cheng to think of his identity as a wealthy businessman in the capital. Ordinary people, who have never even seen the officials of the county government, how could they think of such a high-ranking official as the Commander of the Qilin Guard.


    In fact, if Jiang Yunzhu hadn¡¯t met Shen Fengming in her dream, she wouldn¡¯t have dared to think so.


    ¡°I don¡¯t look at them as businessmen.¡± Chen said.


    Jiang Cheng decided to listen to Mrs. Chen and Jiang Yunzhu, and the three of them packed up the kitchen and went back to sleep.


    In the side room next to him, Yang Sheng was admiring the food on the table.


    He and Shen Fengming each had a bowl of hot soup and a plate of pancakes in front of them. The aroma of the soup was exactly what he had smelled outside the door before.


    In the middle are five or six side dishes, including red shredded beef, white shredded radish, emerald green spinach, yellow bean curd, black fungus, and a small dish of red shredded pickles.


    The color and presentation of this side dish alone are eye-catching.


    Yang Sheng immediately understood that these side dishes should be eaten with pancakes.


    He was not too polite, and took a sip of hot soup first. This soup is delicious! He couldn¡¯t wait to pick up the pancake, put his favorite dish in a roll, and put it in his mouth.


    The slightly spicy beef, the refreshing radish, and the fragrant bean curd are full of fragrance.


    He kept talking, gestured to Shen Fengming with his hands, telling him to taste it quickly, this thing is really good.


    Shen Fengming glanced at him, as for what, after all, he is also the young master of the Yang family, and he has eaten hundreds of imperial banquets in the palace.


    Then he rolled a cake and tasted it, looking at the cake with a little surprise.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it delicious?¡± Yang Sheng swallowed the whole cake in his hand, and finally had time to talk.


    ¡°It¡¯s not bad.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Yang Sheng patted the table, ¡°It¡¯s really not easy to get these three words from you.¡± After he finished speaking, he picked up another pancake, rolled vegetables and said to Shen Fengming, ¡°I feel more and more that this girl is pretty good. In this small village, Really buried her.


    Don¡¯t you consider letting her follow you? ¡°


    Shen Fengming looked at him coldly, what did he say?


    ¡°Then let me ask, how about if she wants to follow me?¡± Yang Sheng said.


    ¡°She may not be buried in this mountain village.¡± Shen Fengming ate a cake in the blink of an eye.


    ¡°Why not bury it, the capital is so prosperous¡­¡±


    ¡°Eat!¡± Shen Feng said.


    Yang Sheng wanted to argue again, so he took a look at Shen Fengming¡¯s expression, and went to eat while humming.


    After a while, the two of them ate and drank enough, Yang Sheng leaned back on the chair contentedly, took a sip of water, and asked Shen Fengming, ¡°Are you really going to make things difficult for the sixth prince?¡±


    A few days ago, Li Shilang wrote a letter to participate in the performance, saying that the Sixth Prince privately manufactured weapons in Zhaoping County.


    Making weapons privately is a crime of treason.


    Speaking of the Sixth Prince, we have to talk about the current situation of the Xia Dynasty¡¯s crown prince.


    There was a prince in the Xia Dynasty, but when the prince was seven years old, he fell ill for some reason. After treatment, although he saved his life, his body became more and more fat, and now he needs help to walk.


    The sixth prince is the son of Concubine Wu. He is very heroic and the emperor likes him the most. Many people think that he is the best candidate for the prince.


    This was strongly opposed by veteran officials in the court and some nobles. They felt that the prince was benevolent and his status was orthodox, so he could not be abolished without reason.


    The DPRK and China were in a quarrel over this matter.


    This time, Li Shilang¡¯s writing to participate in the performance of the Sixth Prince was like lighting a gunpowder keg.


    Emperor Qinglong ordered Shen Fengming to investigate the matter secretly.


    After Shen Fengming received the order, he felt that although the place where the weapons were privately manufactured was in Zhaoping County, they might not be able to find anything when they went there, so it was better to start from the source. So he decided to divide his troops into two groups, one group went to Zhaoping County, and the other group came to Wuling Mine.


    He and Yang Sheng¡¯s horse are good friends, and they arrived at the Wuling Mine first, and the rest of the Qilin Guards will probably arrive in two or three days.


    ¡°I don¡¯t embarrass anyone, I only investigate the case.¡± Shen Fengming said lightly.


    Yang Sheng choked, investigating the case is embarrassing with the sixth prince, is there any difference between the two?

 Chapter 17

    At Yin time the next day, that is, just three o¡¯clock, the Jiang family got up and got busy.


    They kept their movements light, afraid of disturbing the merchants staying overnight, but who were Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng, they woke up as soon as they woke up.


    Yang Sheng looked at the sky outside, so early?


    Looking into the courtyard, I saw four or five figures busy in the kitchen under the warm yellow lights, and the scent of hot pepper soup and steamed buns wafted in the wind.


    ¡°It¡¯s comparable to our Qilin Guard.¡± Yang Sheng noticed that Shen Fengming had also woken up, and muttered. Wake up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs.


    At that time, as soon as Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s stall was set up, three unexpected guests came.


    She knew Deputy General Zhao, but she had never seen the two deputy generals next to him.


    ¡°Why is the guest so early today?¡± She asked in surprise. A few days ago, Vice General Zhao only came when he was waiting for Chenshi.


    ¡°Something happened in the mine today¡­ Hey, I forgot to bring you your casserole.¡± Deputy General Zhao didn¡¯t say anything specific, seeing the steaming big casserole in front of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s stall, he suddenly remembered.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, just take it down for me whenever it¡¯s convenient for the guest.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°You two too, bring you porridge, you don¡¯t want to take the casserole down for others.¡± Deputy General Zhao complained to the two people around him.


    ¡°I was thinking about it. I wanted to drink another bowl of beef porridge today and bring the casserole down. I forgot whoever thought of General Wang¡¯s inventory of the warehouse in the middle of the night.¡± The thin lieutenant surnamed Li patted his head and said. .


    ¡°What is this for? Take a good inventory of the warehouse.¡± The black-faced lieutenant surnamed Bao asked.


    ¡°Who knows.¡± Lieutenant General Li said.


    ¡°It¡¯s none of our business, drink porridge, drink porridge, I didn¡¯t have enough porridge yesterday.¡± Deputy General Bao rubbed his hands.


    ¡°Three bowls, beef porridge.¡± Deputy General Zhao thought for a while, but still couldn¡¯t remember what the full name of the beef porridge was, so he only said beef porridge.


    ¡°Guests, yesterday you ate raw beef porridge, today I prepared beef porridge with smooth eggs, do you¡­¡±


    Before Jiang Yunzhu could finish speaking, Vice-General Bao said, ¡°Just eat beef porridge with fried eggs. I heard there are eggs in it. It must be better than yesterday¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s what you are good at.¡± Lieutenant General Li laughed when he heard this.


    Beside her, Mrs. Chen couldn¡¯t help laughing. She found that although these three people looked fierce, they were not as domineering as other officials. Instead, they were quite interesting.


    Jiang Yunzhu quickly made the egg and beef porridge.


    Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng ate some of the beef they bought yesterday. Fortunately, these three came early today, otherwise they might not be able to eat the beef porridge.


    She also noticed that the thin lieutenant just said that General Wang counted the warehouse in the middle of the night?


    General Wang, the highest ranking defender here is a general whose surname is said to be Wang.


    He cleaned the warehouse in the middle of the night¡­


    There was too little information, and Jiang Yunzhu had no idea, but she suddenly thought that mines, iron ore, and iron are very sensitive and important in this era of cold weapons.


    So, did Shen Fengming come here for the iron mine?


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that she had grasped something.


    She was thinking in her mind, but the movements of her hands were not slow. In a short time, three bowls of egg and beef porridge were ready.


    There are still three casserole pots, bubbling and bubbling.


    ¡°I just said that this one with eggs must be better than yesterday¡¯s!¡± Deputy General Bao said, pointing at the porridge in the casserole.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t tasted it yet, how do you know?¡± Lieutenant General Li seemed to like to choke him, so he asked immediately.


    ¡°You just have to taste it, you¡¯ll know it when you see it.¡± Deputy General Bao curled his lips, with a look on his face that you don¡¯t know, I don¡¯t know you.


    Eggs are added to today¡¯s egg-boiled beef porridge, and the golden egg flowers are hidden in the tender beef and crystal clear rice porridge. It looks much richer than yesterday.


    ¡°I¡¯ll try it.¡± Deputy General Zhao took a sip, it was so delicious!


    The others didn¡¯t bother to talk anymore, and each picked up a spoon to drink porridge.


    I don¡¯t know how Jiang Yunzhu made it. The eggs are so tender and smooth, and the beef is so fragrant that there is only fragrance left. Even the white rice porridge seems to be delicious.


    A casserole of porridge, as if scrambling to rush into their stomachs.


    After a while, the three drank all the porridge and patted their stomachs comfortably.


    ¡°It¡¯s delicious. Boss, do you still sell it at noon?¡± Deputy General Bao asked, and if he still sells it, he will still come over to eat.


    ¡°Sorry, customers, we don¡¯t have a stall at noon.¡± Jiang Yunzhu changed the subject before Deputy General Bao showed a disappointed expression, ¡°But we can deliver it to the mountain or the foot of the mountain for you.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Vice-General Zhao heard it strangely.


    Even Mrs. Chen looked at Jiang Yunzhu, what is she talking about, girl?


    In fact, Vice General Zhao said yesterday that he wanted to pack two servings of beef porridge, and Jiang Yunzhu had this idea. Takeaway is just right for the current situation.


    It is too hard to sell breakfast all the time, and sooner or later we will have to transform.


    In the future, she would like to do lunch and dinner takeaway, that is, one meat and one vegetarian, two meat and one vegetarian, or two meat and two vegetarian meals for work. Of course, you can also order small stir-fry for extra money.


    Now selling breakfast, the target group is those miners on the mountain.


    For takeaway, it is mainly aimed at those soldiers and craftsmen with relatively high monthly silver on the mountain.


    She had heard from Jiang Cheng before that there was a canteen for the defenders and artisans on the mountain, and it was free. At that level, although Jiang Yunzhu has never eaten there, you can tell by looking at the soldiers and Deputy General Zhao at the market. They don¡¯t eat the free ones, but they often come down the mountain to eat the expensive ones. It can be seen that the free ones are probably not very good. .


    This is the market, and it is a market with great potential.


    A bowl of Hu spicy soup with refueled steamed buns only sells for three pennies, but how much can a box of work meals sell, and how much does a small stir-fry sell? The price doubled and went up, and the money earned was naturally more.


    And most importantly, there is no need to spend money on storefronts for takeaway.


    Jiang Yunzhu told Vice General Zhao what he thought, he could order food or order a set meal, and agreed on a time, and they would deliver the meal to the designated place at noon.


    Deputy General Zhao was very surprised when he heard it, ¡°Can it still be like this?¡±


    ¡°Can you really order food? I want to eat fat intestines. I have been wanting to eat them for several days. Miss, I believe in your craftsmanship.¡± Deputy General Bao hurriedly said.


    ¡°Look at the dish you want to eat¡­¡± Lieutenant General Li looked disgusted, and then asked Jiang Yunzhu eagerly, ¡°Can you make fish? Any fish will do. The ones made in our kitchen are also called fish.¡± I feel bad for myself.


    The fish made in the cafeteria is so fishy and woody that even cats don¡¯t eat it. It¡¯s too sad for him who likes to eat fish.


    Jiang Yunzhu raised her eyebrows. Coincidentally, she is best at cooking fish.


    ¡°You two.¡± Deputy General Zhao said angrily with his eyes wide open, what to grab, he hasn¡¯t ordered yet!


    ¡°Guest, what do you want to eat?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked him.


    In fact, Deputy General Zhao also wanted to eat fish and fatty sausages. When Deputy General Bao and the others said it, his saliva almost flowed down. But the two of them had already ordered, and he couldn¡¯t order any more.


    Unable to think of it for a while, he simply took out a piece of silver and handed it to Jiang Yunzhu and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what kind of dish it is, as long as it¡¯s spicy, the spicier the better.¡± He likes spicy food, but the ones made in the cafeteria are not tasty enough at all.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu took the money, weighed it, and it was about half a tael, ¡°I¡¯ll bring you the food at noon, and I¡¯ll give you the rest of the money.¡± She didn¡¯t even think about giving it to him now. What kind of dishes to make, you have to go to the town to see what ingredients are available. Naturally, there is no way to set the price now.


    ¡°What are you looking for? I¡¯ll put it here with you first. I¡¯ll have to buy food from you in the future. I¡¯ve brought these with me today. I¡¯ll eat them first, and I¡¯ll give them to you when I¡¯m done.¡± Vice-General Zhao said indifferently. He was not afraid that Jiang Yunzhu would run away.


    Besides, even if she ran away, it was only half a tael of silver, which was nothing at all.


    With him taking the lead, Vice General Li and Vice General Bao both took out a piece of silver and handed it to Jiang Yunzhu, saying similar words to him.


    Jiang Yunzhu took them one by one, remembering which piece of money belonged to whom, and was going to get an account book when he got home, so as not to make mistakes.


    After they left, Mrs. Chen looked at the three pieces of silver in a daze, did she get nearly two taels of silver just like that? Who will believe it!

 Chapter 18

    ¡°Yunzhu, this, this¡­¡± Mrs. Chen stammered, pointing at the silver.


    ¡°Just deposit it with us first.¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled, implying that the money is not theirs yet.


    Mrs. Chen was still very happy, touched this piece of silver, weighed that piece of silver, the silver was cold, but her heart was hot.


    As the hour approached, there were fewer and fewer people in the market.


    ¡°Aunt Chen, Yunzhu.¡± Xu Qingshan drove a donkey cart over from the foot of the mountain.


    ¡°It¡¯s Qingshan, why are you here?¡± Chen was surprised.


    Xu Qingshan hastily told the story of his cheating. Hearing Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s words that day, he immediately went around to inquire, and found a few places that were not far or near that were suitable for stretching his feet.


    It was his first time pulling yesterday, and he has no experience. He pulled twice in the morning and evening, and earned twenty-six coins. Today, he has experience. He made three trips this morning and earned 20 yuan. It is estimated that it will be about the same in the evening.


    Calculated in this way, he can earn about one or two taels of silver a month, which is twice as much as what he earns in the mines!


    ¡°My father loves it so much that he won¡¯t let me run in the daytime. After I save money, I can buy a donkey or a horse. I can make more money by pulling the two animals instead.¡± Xu Qingshan said excitedly He told Mrs. Chen and Jiang Yunzhu all about the situation of pulling his feet in the past two days, and then patted his donkey and said.


    His family¡¯s donkey has done a great job, and they got here safely by relying on it on the way to escape from the wilderness. They still rely on it to make money, and now its status at home is higher than his.


    Mrs. Chen was envious, but she wasn¡¯t jealous, she was just happy for him.


    ¡°Thanks to Yunzhu.¡± When Xu Qingshan said this, he looked at Jiang Yunzhu in embarrassment. It was only because of her affirmation and guidance that he made up his mind to do this business.


    Thinking of this, he lowered his voice and said to Chen Shi, ¡°Auntie, I have two more routes in mind today, but I can¡¯t do it alone, or you can tell Uncle Jiang to let him do the same.


    It is still too tiring to go to the mine, and it is not as profitable as this one.


    I kid you not, really! ¡± He was afraid that Mrs. Chen would not believe it, so he said hurriedly.


    Of course Mrs. Chen believed him, he had already said so much, and she was not stupid, so why couldn¡¯t she see that he really wanted to help them. Of course, there is a reason why Jiang Yunzhu gave him advice, but are there still few white-eyed wolves in this world?


    It¡¯s better than others.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go back and discuss it with your Uncle Jiang,¡± Chen said. What she said was evasive, and it was true. Jiang Cheng is now at the mine during the day, helping them with their business in the morning and evening, and only sleeps three or four hours a day. She loves him so much, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to hold on.


    It would be much easier if he could really pull his feet together with Xu Qingshan. And earn more.


    However, if you need an animal and a cart to pull your feet, a mature donkey costs seven or eight taels of silver if it is cheaper, and a mule is more expensive, so don¡¯t even think about a horse. I have to buy a car, and a car costs four or five taels, which adds up to twelve taels of silver.


    Their family has made some money these days, but they are far from buying donkeys and carts!


    ¡°If my aunt is short of money, I still have some.¡± Xu Qingshan paused, ¡°No, I can borrow some from my cousin.¡±


    Mrs. Chen quickly shook her head, borrow, how much should I borrow? If there is a difference of one, two or two, she will borrow it, and the difference is too much now. Besides, if he borrowed money from his cousin and bought a livestock by himself, it would be great to earn a little more every day, why should he help them.


    This favor is too great, she dare not accept it.


    ¡°Good boy, I know what you mean. I will tell Uncle Jiang about this.¡± She said.


    ¡°En.¡± Xu Qingshan nodded.


    The more Mrs. Chen looked at Xu Qingshan, the more satisfied she became. If Jiang Yunzhu could really marry him, and the husband and wife worked hard together, wouldn¡¯t life be a bad day?


    ¡°Have you eaten yet?¡± She asked Xu Qingshan while lifting the lid of the soup bucket.


    Seeing that she was about to bring him something to eat, Xu Qingshan quickly shook his head, wanting to say that he was not hungry, but his stomach growled uncooperatively.


    He blushed in embarrassment.


    Mrs. Chen smiled, and filled a large bowl full of Hu spicy soup for him, and brought him seven or eight oil buns on the table for him to eat quickly.


    Xu Qingshan could only sit down and eat.


    After eating, he wants to give money to Mrs. Chen, but Mrs. Chen is not willing to ask for it.


    The two debated for a while, and finally decided that Mrs. Chen invited him to eat this time, and next time he came again, he would pay again.


    During this time, Jiang Yunzhu sold three more bowls of Hu spicy soup, and the last customer had six steamed buns left. Originally, she bought five steamed buns for a bowl of soup, but she gave him all six, which made the customer happy. Straightforward to come tomorrow.


    Business is over for today.


    Jiang Yunzhu and Mrs. Chen packed up, Xu Qingshan helped. It turned out that they used a small cart to push things back every day, but today Xu Qingshan directly put the things and the small cart on the donkey cart, which saves a lot of trouble.


    Mrs. Chen really wanted to buy a donkey cart. Originally, she had the same thought as Jiang Cheng, and when she made money, she would build a house. Only when she had her own house could she feel at ease. But now she feels that the donkey cart is more urgent.


    Xu Qingshan drove the donkey cart back, and asked Mrs. Chen on the way, ¡°Auntie, are you going to the town later? My father asked me to come back to the town today to buy some soybean meal for the donkey. If you go, you can sit with me.¡± car.¡±


    In the past, when Chen and the others set up a stall, they would eat something to sleep and go to the town to do some shopping after getting up.


    Today¡­ ¡°Yunzhu, let¡¯s go to town first after we have some food!¡± Chen Shi said. One, you can take a ride, otherwise they would have to walk five or six miles to the town every time to buy something, and then carry it back five or six miles, which would be really tiring.


    Two, she naturally has her own mind.


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to go back to sleep, but today she really had to go to the town first. She promised Vice General Zhao and the three of them would deliver meals to them at noon, and she would go to the town to buy things early.


    ¡°Okay, then I will trouble Brother Xu.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Xu Qingshan¡¯s face blushed again when Brother Xu called out.


    Mrs. Chen is someone who has been here before, so why can¡¯t she understand Xu Qingshan¡¯s mind, she suddenly had an idea in her mind.


    After a while, the donkey cart arrived at the gate of Jiang¡¯s house.


    Xu Qingshan helped unload things, and said that he was fine in the morning, and the two of Chen could just call him after dinner.


    ¡°What else is there to eat, Yunzhu, since you want to sell lunch and dinner, why don¡¯t you look at the prices of all kinds of vegetables in the town? You also need to buy things for lunch, so there is no time to delay.


    How about this, you go to the town with Qingshan, and buy something to eat when you¡¯re hungry.


    I left it for Jiang Lin and the others to cook and clean up the kitchen. Let¡¯s do both, and if the three guests are satisfied, then we can do business in the future, right? ¡°Chen¡¯s words are well-founded.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought about it too, this morning, he was really busy.


    They were talking at the door, and in the side room, Yang Sheng had seen Jiang Yunzhu come back.


    Seeing a young man standing next to her, the young man was busy, and would glance at Jiang Yunzhu from time to time, he sighed, ¡°Sure enough, that idiot has appeared.¡±


    The reason why he said this was the phrase ¡°a clever woman always sleeps with a clumsy husband¡± when he first met Jiang Yunzhu. At that time, he said that Jiang Yunzhu had a clever mind, but her background was humble, and she might only marry an ordinary farmer in the future. It¡¯s not a pity.


    Looking at it now, it really is.


    Seeing that such a good girl will spend her whole life in the mountains, dealing with firewood, rice, oil and salt every day, like a pearl covered in dust, Yang Sheng naturally sighed.


    Shen Fengming looked out because of his words, and saw Jiang Yunzhu standing there with her black hair in his hands in the morning light, the warm golden sun shone on her body, like pearls and jade, the beauty was bright, and everything around her seemed to be a foil .

 Chapter 19

    Jiang Yunzhu smoothed the scattered hair around her ears and got on the donkey cart.


    Xu Qingshan drove the donkey cart away.


    Chen stood there watching for a long time before entering the yard with a smile, but saw Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming coming out of the side room.


    She was slightly taken aback, she thought the two borrowed merchants had already left!


    If it is really a merchant who has lost his way and borrowed a place, it is natural for him to leave at dawn to make a living.


    But Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming are not.


    The two of them also went out in the morning, not long after Jiang Yunzhu and the others went out. They went up the mountain and checked the situation of Wuling Mine. Afterwards, Yang Sheng clamored to go back to Jiang¡¯s house for dinner, and they came back soon.


    Seeing Chen¡¯s expression, Yang Sheng changed his mind, and quickly said, ¡°Auntie, we want to collect some grain in this village, do you know who has grain and wants to sell it?¡±


    It turned out that this was the case, now Mrs. Chen really believed that they were merchants selling food.


    ¡°After dinner, I¡¯ll go to the village head¡¯s house and ask for you,¡± she said.


    Hearing that there was going to be a meal, Yang Sheng regained his energy. He walked around the mountain early in the morning. He was cold and hungry, and he wanted to eat a long time ago.


    What are we eating today? The soup yesterday was good, the pancakes were good, and the side dishes were also well done¡­


    When Mrs. Chen brought the rice, Yang Sheng squeezed the dusty thing in his hand, and asked Shen Fengming with his eyes, is this pancake? Why this color.


    The sorghum pancakes were of this color, and Mrs. Chen was a little embarrassed. Jiang Yunzhu was not at home, and there was nothing else at home, so he could only let the two guests eat this.


    This is also their daily food.


    Shen Fengming ignored Yang Sheng at all, took the pancake and ate it. He ate slowly, without any abnormality, Yang Sheng thought the pancakes looked ugly, but they actually tasted good.


    So hard, he took a big bite, and then he¡­ began to miss Jiang Yunzhu!


    After dinner, Mrs. Chen went to the village chief¡¯s house and said that two grain merchants had come to his house, and asked him if there was anyone in the village who wanted to sell grain.


    Gu Yongde thought about it, and there really is.


    After a while, Mrs. Chen came back with a smile on her face.


    Yang Sheng heard that someone really wanted to sell grain, so he twitched his lips and looked at Shen Fengming, what should he do, is he really going to collect grain?


    Shen Fengming looked at him calmly.


    After a long while, Yang Sheng sighed, and went out with Mrs. Chen, he had to bear the lies he told himself.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu had already arrived in the town. Along the way, she had already thought about what to buy, and even where to buy it, so she got off the donkey cart and went straight to the market.


    Let¡¯s go buy some food for Vice General Zhao and the three of them to cook at noon. She is afraid that some things will be sold out if it is too late.


    The black-faced customer ordered fatty intestines, and she went to the butcher¡¯s stall.


    ¡°Pig intestines? There are some today, but they are reserved for old customers.¡± The butcher said.


    Jiang Yunzhu frowned, wondering where there was a meat stall in the town.


    ¡°There are not many people who buy that thing, and you have to make an appointment every day.¡± The boss explained, seeing Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s embarrassed look, and said, ¡°You are also my regular customer, so if you don¡¯t want much , I¡¯ll sell you some.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu was overjoyed immediately, she really didn¡¯t want much, just one dish, if the boss sold her more, she didn¡¯t know how to deal with it!


    ¡°Just right.¡± The boss took out a wooden barrel from under the meat stand, pulled out a section of pig intestines, and asked Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Are these enough?¡±


    ¡°enough!¡±


    The boss cut the pig intestines with a knife, tied them with hemp rope, and handed them to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu put it away and asked if there was any beef today.


    The boss shook his head. It is not easy for people to kill cows for two days in a row, and it is true that there is no such thing today. Don¡¯t say he doesn¡¯t have it here, the whole Hongye Town doesn¡¯t have it.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t force it, and bought a piece of pork.


    Then she hurried to the fish stall. The weather was getting colder and there were fewer and fewer fish sellers. Fortunately, she came early today, and one of the fishmongers still had several carps in hand, so she picked the freshest one.


    The main ingredients are available, and the rest is the ingredients. There is no need to rush this.


    After walking through several stalls, she bought all the ingredients.


    Then there are the materials used to make hot pepper soup and steamed buns today. This is easy to handle, and she knows the way to buy them all.


    It seems that there is nothing to buy, right?


    By the way, I have to buy one more thing. She went to the study on the east side of the town and bought some paper, a fine brush, and some ink. In the future, she will do takeaway, so she can¡¯t do it without keeping accounts.


    The owner of the study was very considerate, and cut the paper she bought into small sheets according to her requirements, and wrapped everything up and handed it to her.


    Jiang Yunzhu went out with her things, Xu Qingshan was already waiting for her outside.


    This time I really have to thank him, if it weren¡¯t for him, it would be hard for her to take back so many things.


    After everything was packed, Jiang Yunzhu felt hungry. There happened to be a biscuit seller on the side of the road, so she went over and bought two.


    The biscuits are really well made, tender and crunchy, freshly baked, one bite, full of fragrance.


    This sesame seed cake is stuffed with meat, pork belly and green onions are used, Jiang Yunzhu thought while eating, in fact, it would be delicious to replace it with dried plum vegetables and pork belly, and she suddenly thought of crab shell sesame cake, that would be delicious. When she has a chance, she will make a furnace and have a good time.


    She was thinking wildly when she suddenly saw a porcelain seller on the street, with bowls, plates, ladles, cups, etc., each with a different design and color, which looked quite unique.


    Jiang Yunzhu suddenly remembered something. She wants to take out food, and the tableware is also a problem. It¡¯s easy to handle small stir-fries. It¡¯s fine to use a bowl for rice and a plate for vegetables, but what about two meat and one vegetarian meals for work?


    Stir and buckle together, or use three or four bowls?


    Neither feels good. It would be great if the lunch boxes were divided into several areas like modern times.


    Suddenly there was an idea in my heart.


    ¡°Girl, whatever you want to buy is cheap.¡± The stall owner was a middle-aged man.


    ¡°Boss, did you make all these things?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s a family tradition.¡±


    ¡°I want to make a lunch box, but I don¡¯t know if the boss can do it.¡±


    ¡°Girl, come and listen.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu told the man what she thought.


    The man thought for a while and said, ¡°It can be done. If you want it, I happen to be building a kiln in two days. I can do it for you. It can be done in about seven or eight days. What do you think?¡±


    ¡°Seven or eight days, how much does it cost to make one?¡±


    The man thought for a while, ¡°Seven cents, it¡¯s cheaper to buy more, how many girls do you want?¡±


    How many, this question stumped Jiang Yunzhu, she wanted to order a batch to start the takeaway business booming, but when she thought about what happened twelve days later, she didn¡¯t dare to invest so much money.


    She now thinks that the incident may be related to the iron mine. If so, it must not be the work of bandits as the government said. There is an army stationed in Wuling Mine, which bandit dares to run around here and make such a big commotion, are you tired of working?


    Gu Yanzhou said that Shen Fengming did it, but she didn¡¯t comment. What good will it do for Shen Fengming to do this? And even though he was called Shen Buliu, he used to kill corrupt officials and the like, and he had never heard of him massacring innocent people.


    Who else would it be? Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know. But no matter if it¡¯s Shen Fengming or someone else, that person must be a person with good hands and eyes, how can she fight against them as a commoner girl?


    She wanted to observe for a few days first, and if there was no improvement in this matter before Lidong, she would think of a way to lure the villagers to the county town. She didn¡¯t believe that those people dared to openly kill so many people in the county!


    As for how to cheat, she hasn¡¯t figured it out yet, it¡¯s just an immature method she thought of on the way here just now.


    Jiang Yunzhu remained silent, and the salesman thought she didn¡¯t want it anymore, so he became anxious.


    His family¡¯s ancestral porcelain firing skills, I heard that his ancestors had a good time, but when he went to his grandfather, there was only a small kiln left, and he usually made a living by burning some dishes and bowls. But even so, his family used to be a well-fed family that everyone envied. But since the discovery of iron ore in Wuling Mountain, all the people around have gone to work in the mine, earning money like water.


    When her daughter-in-law sees him now, she nags, saying who went to the mine today and how much money they earned back, and tomorrow they say who built a new house, and the family has meat to eat every now and then, and they can buy new clothes and so on.


    As long as he makes this mud every day, the days get worse and worse.


    He heard it in his ears and was anxious in his heart.


    A few days ago, he gave himself one last chance and told his wife that if he could not make any money by the end of this month, he would go to the mine.


    His daughter-in-law was naturally overjoyed, and even made him a bowl of egg noodles to nourish his body for the first time, but he was not happy at all, he was reluctant to part with the handicraft handed down from his family.


    Seeing that the end of the month is getting closer and he hasn¡¯t made much money yet, why is he in no hurry!

 Chapter 20

    ¡°Girl?¡± Wang De, the man selling porcelain, asked aloud.


    Only then did Jiang Yunzhu come back to his senses, ¡°Boss, to tell you the truth, I¡¯m not sure whether I want to buy it now. In fact, there is one thing in a few days that I don¡¯t know if I can get through it safely. If it can pass, I will make a five-pointer first.¡± Ten, we may order more in the future, if we can¡¯t make it through¡­¡±


    She didn¡¯t continue, but believed he could understand.


    Wang De listened to her, and it was a matter of his family and life. Compared with her, he was not in a hurry.


    ¡°Girl, are you okay?¡± He asked hesitantly.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled.


    Seeing her light smile, Wang De believed her statement. Gritting his teeth, he said, ¡°Girl, tell me a date. As long as you come before this date, I will sell you.¡± miners.


    ¡°Thank you boss, if I buy it, I will definitely come before November 8th. If you don¡¯t come, the boss won¡¯t have to wait for me.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    On November 8th, he agreed with his wife to be at the end of the month. Forget it, no matter what, he will wait another eight days. After eight days, everything will come to a conclusion.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Wang De nodded.


    ¡°Thank you!¡± Jiang Yunzhu thanked again before turning around.


    ¡°Yunzhu, are you okay? November 8th¡­¡± Xu Qingshan was a little worried when he heard what Jiang Yunzhu said just now.


    ¡°I had a dream yesterday. I dreamed of a big-bellied Arhat¡­ Forget it, it might just be a dream. Let¡¯s talk about it later.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said casually.


    Xu Qingshan heard that it was because of a dream, so he laughed, ¡°Things in dreams can¡¯t be real.¡± He said.


    ¡°I know.¡± Jiang Yunzhu replied.


    The two did not continue the topic.


    Afterwards, Jiang Yunzhu went to the nearby restaurants and looked at the prices of various dishes, then got on a donkey cart and returned to Changshi Village.


    At this moment, Jiang Lin was playing with some children in the village by the river at the head of the village. When he saw Jiang Yunzhu came back, he ran home and shouted, ¡°Sister is back, sister is back.¡±


    When Jiang Yunzhu got off the car, Jiang Lin, Jiang Yunxue, and Jiang Wu immediately came over to help her carry her things.


    Soon, those big and small bags were carried to the middle hall or the kitchen.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll go first.¡± Xu Qingshan said.


    ¡°Well, thank you for today!¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to be so polite.¡± Xu Qingshan glanced at Jiang Yunzhu again, and left quickly.


    After he left, Jiang Yunzhu went into the yard to check the weather. It was okay. After half an hour of rest, she would start making lunch. There should be time.


    She took out a paper bag from her pocket, opened it, and there were eleven colorful candies inside. When she bought the seasoning, she bought it by chance. It costs two pennies. She bought it for five pennies, and the boss gave her an extra one.


    Those candies are crystal clear, the size of each finger belly, shining charmingly in the sun.


    ¡°Sugar.¡± With sharp eyes, Jiang Lin immediately saw the candy in her hand, ran over a few steps, but didn¡¯t **** it, and stood there staring at the candy greedily. He could barely remember the taste of sugar.


    In fact, there was sugar in the kitchen, the kind of yellow sugar that Jiang Yunzhu used for cooking, but none of the three children ate it.


    Jiang Yunxue also walked over, staring at the candies intently.


    ¡°Sugar.¡± Jiang Wu¡¯s saliva was about to flow down, and he looked at Jiang Yunzhu eagerly.


    ¡°Which one do you want?¡± Jiang Yunzhu started asking Jiang Lin, who was the oldest. These days, Jiang Lin followed them to do business, busy in and out, like a little adult, he should be rewarded.


    ¡°The green one.¡± Jiang Lin said, he likes that color.


    Jiang Yunzhu picked up a green candy and handed it to him. He took it carefully, but didn¡¯t eat it. Instead, he held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, as if he couldn¡¯t get enough of it.


    ¡°What about you?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked Jiang Yunxue.


    Jiang Yunxue also helped a lot these days, she said softly, ¡°The blue one.¡± She thinks that one is the most beautiful.


    Jiang Yunzhu gave her a blue one, and she held it in her hand like a pearl like a treasure.


    ¡°I want the red one.¡± Jiang Wu was already in a hurry, and hurriedly said without waiting for Jiang Yunzhu to ask.


    Jiang Yunzhu took out a red one and handed it to him.


    He stuffed the candy directly into his mouth, and his **** eyes opened wider as if in amazement.


    ¡°One for each person today, and it will be gone after eating. You are not allowed to steal from others, you know?¡± Jiang Yunzhu said to the three children.


    All three of them understood and nodded immediately.


    ¡°Don¡¯t spoil them too much, they¡­¡± Mrs. Chen came out of the kitchen and said to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Before she finished speaking, a candy was stuffed into her mouth.


    Sweet, so sweet candy, it seems sweet to people¡¯s heart, Mrs. Chen narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking of many things.


    Jiang Yunzhu also pinched a candy and put it in her mouth, her bright red lips raised slightly.


    Standing in front of the window, Shen Fengming looked at Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s lips, suddenly curious whether those candies were really that sweet.


    Although, he doesn¡¯t like sweets.


    There were eleven candies, and there were still six left. Jiang Yunzhu took out one and handed it to Mrs. Chen, asking her to keep it for Jiang Cheng to eat at night. For the rest, she asked Jiang Lin to send it to old man Chen, who likes sweets, even though he didn¡¯t say anything.


    After distributing the sugar, Jiang Yunzhu went into the middle hall to pack the things she bought.


    Chen Shi and others followed in to see what she had bought.


    When she saw the package of paper and ink, Chen asked, ¡°Why do you buy these things?¡±


    Bookkeeping, Jiang Yunzhu wanted to say. Suddenly, she frowned. She had forgotten in a hurry, her original body was illiterate, how would she keep accounts?


    But if she didn¡¯t keep accounts, how much money did she deposit with her, how much did she spend each time, who ordered what meal today, how could she remember clearly?


    For things like cooking, she can say that she can figure it out slowly, but she can read and learn without a teacher? Who would believe it!


    Who can read? Master Chen is illiterate, Jiang Cheng is illiterate, Mrs. Chen is illiterate, Gu Yanzhou is illiterate¡­


    Or ask him for help?


    Jiang Yunzhu was thinking about it when a icy voice asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Looking up, he saw a tall and imposing man standing there, he was wearing a crow green brocade robe, and a darker belt of the same color was tied around his thin waist, which made his tall and handsome figure even more apparent.


    Shen Fengming, this killing god, when did he come here!


    Jiang Yunzhu was stunned, ¡°I want to keep accounts, but I can¡¯t read.¡±


    After she finished speaking, she regained her senses and tensed up.


    Shen Fengming looked at the pen and paper in her hand, it turned out to be like this.


    ¡°What do you want to remember, I can write it for you.¡± He said.


    It was as if fireworks were blooming in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s mind. What did he say, he wanted to write accounts for her? Did she get it wrong. Still, he is in a particularly good mood today, and he especially wants to write.


    Shen Fengming took the pen from Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s hand, indicating that it was time to start.


    Jiang Yunzhu spread out the paper like a puppet, poured out a little ink and put it aside.


    Shen Fengming dipped his pen in ink and stood in front of the table.


    ¡°Bearded guest, five qian silver, at noon on October 26, one serving of boiled meat, twenty renminbi, one serving of rice, two renminbi.


    Black-faced guests, eight coins, at noon on October 26, one piece of sausage, eighteen coins, and one piece of rice, two coins.


    Thin guests, seven silver coins, at noon on October 26th, a piece of dry roasted fish, thirty-eight Wen, and a portion of rice, two Wen. ¡°


    Regarding the account of these three guests today, Jiang Yunzhu actually knew the surnames of the three deputy generals Zhao, but she didn¡¯t want Shen Fengming to know, so she wrote it down.


    While listening, Shen Fengming was scribbling on the paper.


    He wrote in regular script, his characters were straight and upright, each character was as neat and square as a piece of tofu.


    A good handwriting is like a painting, even people who can¡¯t read will find it beautiful.


    At this moment, Chen Shi and the others looked at the words written by Shen Fengming in amazement, and felt that they seemed to have magical powers.


    Good words, Jiang Yunzhu was amazed in his heart!


    The room was silent, when Yang Cheng came in from the outside, he saw Shen Fengming standing in front of the table with a pen in his hand, and beside him stood Jiang Yunzhu and others.


    He blinked hard, suspecting that he was wrong.


    Or is this Shen Fengming a fake?

 Chapter 21

    ¡°What is this for?¡± Yang Sheng asked everyone in the room as if he had discovered something extraordinary.


    Seeing him like that, Shen Fengming didn¡¯t want to talk to him, otherwise he must have something wrong.


    Mrs. Chen said with a smile, ¡°Yunzhu wants to keep accounts for her business, but we can¡¯t read, so this young master wrote it for her.¡± Then she asked Yang Sheng, ¡°Have you received the food yet?¡±


    ¡°I took some, but I can¡¯t take them away by myself, so I won¡¯t take them for now, let¡¯s talk about them when my buddies come.¡± Yang Sheng said.


    Mrs. Chen nodded. It turned out that their buddy hadn¡¯t come yet, so she said, how do the two of them sell food.


    Jiang Yunzhu was vigilant in her heart, the buddy Yang Sheng mentioned was Qilin Wei, right? The storm is coming¡­


    Yang Sheng didn¡¯t want to talk about this at all, he only cared about Shen Fengming writing the account for Jiang Yunzhu now, Shen Fengming, writing the account? He walked over a few steps, leaned next to Shen Fengming, and looked at the table.


    ¡°A black-faced customer, a fat-gut, 18 cents¡­¡± No way, he suddenly wanted to laugh, what to do.


    The dignified commander of the Qilin Guard, who writes to break the universe, writes to determine life and death, how many people want to ask him to write something, but he ignores it, and now write this kind of thing in this dilapidated house?


    If the senior officials and ladies in the capital know about this¡­


    Yang Sheng suddenly wanted to discuss the account with Jiang Yunzhu and go back.


    Suddenly, he shivered, raised his head, and met Shen Fengming¡¯s gaze.


    Yang Sheng smiled, and gave up the idea just now, he still has a sense of propriety in doing things. However, a new thought came to his mind, and he said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Bookkeeping is a long-term matter, and we may not stay here for long.


    How about teaching a man to fish rather than giving him a fish? How about letting him teach you how to read?


    You can write by yourself, which will be much more convenient in the future. ¡°


    Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Fengming looked at him together.


    Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t believe it, what was he talking about, asking Shen Fengming to teach her how to read? What did he think! She even suspected that his brain had been kicked by a donkey.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid it will delay your work.¡± She politely refused.


    ¡°Don¡¯t delay.¡± Yang Sheng wasn¡¯t interested in investigating the mine at all. Things in the court were just a mess, and it was still the same after stirring up and down. It would be more interesting to watch Shen Fengming teach others how to read.


    ¡°Besides, we stay at your house for food and lodging, so we should repay you and teach you how to read, just right.¡± He said with reason and evidence.


    ¡°I don¡¯t dare to bother you. Actually, there are people in the village who can read and write. They are scholars. I heard that they can read very well.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°You mean Yanzhou, right?¡± Chen¡¯s eyes lit up. Gu Yanzhou was handsome and a scholar.


    Yang Sheng was about to say something more, ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    He looked at Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°If you want to learn, I can teach you for half an hour every day.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu¡­she wants to learn, but she doesn¡¯t want to learn from him. But he had already said that, she looked at Jiang Lin and the others next to him, and asked him, ¡°Can they study together?¡± She really didn¡¯t want to be alone with him.


    Of course, if he doesn¡¯t agree, that¡¯s fine.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Fengming said, he just saw how difficult it was for them, and suddenly wanted to teach, there is no difference between learning by one person and learning by four. He won¡¯t stay here for too long, and it¡¯s up to them how much they can learn.


    ¡°Thank you!¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t say anything, but Yang Sheng said anxiously, ¡°If you really want to thank us, just cook us something delicious.¡± Thinking of the pancakes in the morning, he burst into tears, God knows how he swallowed those pancakes go down.


    Yang Sheng is someone who knows how to enjoy himself, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t go out and ask the shop owner to soak his tongue for him.


    ¡°By the way, give us money for cooking.¡± He took out a small ingot and handed it to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Five taels of silver, how could Jiang Yunzhu be willing to accept it, ¡°No need.¡± It costs some money to cook for them, but in this day and age, if you want to find a teacher to learn calligraphy, Shu Xiu is also very expensive. The four of them learn calligraphy from Shen Fengming, even if Shen Fengming Just an average gentleman, or did they make it.


    But Yang Sheng stuffed the money into her hand, ¡°That¡¯s it. What shall we have for lunch?¡± He couldn¡¯t wait.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the sky, it was time to prepare lunch.


    She went into the kitchen and fried the carp until its outer skin was golden in order to remove the fishy smell and enhance its freshness; stir-fry the twice-cooked pork on a high fire, and only when it was fried with a high heat can it show skill; Serve with crystal clear soup; deep-fried, the pork belly should be deep-fried until the skin is blistered before it can be served in the steamer.


    Jiang Yunzhu was in the center, Chen Shi, Jiang Lin, and Jiang Yunxue were busy around her, and the small kitchen was full of fireworks.


    Yang Sheng was studying the topographic map of Wuling Mountain with Shen Fengming in the room, and the smell from outside came into his nostrils, suddenly, he threw the map aside and quit. With this delicious current, who wants to watch boring stuff.


    He walked to the door and looked towards the kitchen, waiting for his lunch.


    Shen Fengming knew his character, so he didn¡¯t force him, and started to study it by himself. It¡¯s just that the scent from the tip of his nose disturbed his thoughts a bit.


    ¡°Is the rice ready?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s ready, three bowls.¡± Chen responded.


    ¡°Where¡¯s the food box?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked again.


    ¡°Here it is!¡± Jiang Yunxue said hastily.


    ¡°Then it¡¯s out of the pot.¡± After Jiang Yunzhu finished speaking, he poured the fish into the plate, quickly covered it with another plate, wrapped it in a layer of cotton cloth, and then put it in the food box, and told Jiang Lin, ¡°Be careful on the road. Do you know where to send it and who to send it to?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, sister.¡± Jiang Lin said loudly, he knew it.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Jiang Yunzhu patted his head, working hard.


    Jiang Lin didn¡¯t find it hard at all, he ran out of the yard with a food box on the two-mile mountain road.


    Spicy meat, fragrant fish, and burnt fat sausage, Yang Sheng waited until the flowers were gone, but he was dumbfounded when he saw those dishes were put into food boxes and carried away. These dishes were not for him. food?


    ¡°Two guests, let¡¯s eat!¡± With a soft voice, Yang Sheng came back to his senses, and saw Jiang Yunzhu walking over with a tray.


    With that said, she had entered the room and placed the contents of the tray on the table.


    Two bowls of white rice, three dishes in between.


    The first dish, two steamed emerald green cabbage leaves in the middle, is topped with agate-like crystal meat. ¡°Green and green, with red on a few cherry leaves¡±, the red and green complement each other, which makes the meat piece bright red and attractive.


    This is the cherry meat, the meat is made as crisp and sweet as cherries.


    The second dish is not so particular, it is fried pork, but the fiery red color and strong spicy taste are really attractive, this is twice-cooked pork.


    The third dish is both a dish and a soup. Jiang Yunzhu saw that the winter melons in the market were cheap today, so he bought some, and now he happened to make some winter melon ball soup.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know if it suits the taste of the guests. I was in a hurry today. If the guests want to eat next time, they can tell me in advance.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. When she went to the market today, she just bought something for Vice General Zhao and the others to cook for lunch. She didn¡¯t expect to cook for Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming at all.


    The pork is what she plans to use to make the meat pancake tomorrow morning, and it is now used as an emergency.


    ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Yang Sheng said repeatedly, and then asked, ¡°Was that food box just now?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu said that it was for customers, and she wanted to do this business in the future.


    Yang Cheng thought of the account book that Shen Fengming had written before, about fat sausages and dry roasted fish, and immediately understood.


    Jiang Yunzhu backed out.


    Yang Sheng sat at the table, ¡°I always feel like I¡¯m at a loss.¡± He also wanted to eat those boiled meat and dried fish, but now it¡¯s in someone else¡¯s mouth.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t these dishes enough for you?¡± Shen Fengming said.


    ¡°Enough! But it feels like a loss.¡± He really wanted to give Jiang Yunzhu a piece of silver just now and ask her to keep all the dishes, but he also knew that this was not good. It was ordered in advance, and Jiang Yunzhu was doing business, so naturally To others.


    Shen Fengming ignored him, took a piece of cherry meat and ate it.


    ¡°Liu-like eyebrows, lotus-like gills, cherry mouth and hibiscus forehead.¡± Yang Cheng looked at the cherry flesh and smiled again, not knowing if he was talking about cherry flesh or people.


    Shen Fengming bit the cherry flesh, hearing what he said, suddenly remembered that person, those lips!


    The author has something to say:


    ¡°Liu-like eyebrows and lotus-like gills, cherry-mouthed lotus-like forehead.¡± From Du Renjie of the Yuan Dynasty, the original text ¡°He was born with willow-like eyebrows and lotus-like cheeks, cherry-mouthed lotus-like forehead. No vermilion powder is applied, and it has its own natural state.¡±


    ¡°Green and green, a few cherry leaves are red¡± comes from Zhao Yanduan in the Song Dynasty

 Chapter 22

    The cherry meat was trembling, soft and sweet, Shen Fengming took a bite, and suddenly stopped picking it up, and went to eat twice-cooked pork, that spicy appetizer.


    Sometimes, he also eats a meatball, which is tender and delicious, or a piece of wax gourd, which is refreshing and refreshing.


    Yang Sheng prefers the plate of cherry meat. He thinks it looks like a beauty, delicious and delicate. It¡¯s¡­ No, why is there only half of the plate of twice-cooked pork, and most of the winter melon ball soup?


    He didn¡¯t have time to think about those sour poems, so he quickly started to eat.


    Jiang Lin was very fast, and ran to the foot of the mountain in a short while.


    A long-faced soldier was already waiting there. Jiang Lin knew him. He was the one who followed Vice General Zhao every day.


    ¡°Is it our lieutenant general, Lieutenant General Bao, and Lieutenant General Li who ordered the meal?¡± The long-faced soldier asked, then sniffled, this smells so good.


    ¡°Yes, 20 Wen for boiled meat, 18 Wen for fat intestines, 38 Wen for dry roasted fish, and three bowls of rice, each bowl costs two Wen.¡± Jiang Lin said casually.


    The long-faced soldier took the food box, boiled meat? Meat boiled in plain water? Can that be delicious? But why does it smell so good. He only thought about boiled meat, and forgot about it after listening to it. But it doesn¡¯t matter, Vice General Zhao and the others won¡¯t ask how much these dishes cost.


    ¡°Okay.¡± As he agreed, he gave Jiang Lin two casserole pots in his hand, ¡°Your casserole pots have been washed.¡±


    Jiang Lin took over the casserole, and the two hands were handed over, one went up the mountain and the other went home.


    In a hall on the mountain, a general in armor frowned, his face sinking like water. He was Wang Bin who was ordered to guard the mine. When he thought of the letter he received last night, he felt like there were countless steel knives hanging on his head, and he might die without a burial at any time.


    Qilinwei, Shen Fengming, that killing god¡­ He really regretted agreeing to the sixth prince to do that.


    But things have come to this point, he can only go one way to the dark!


    ¡°Recently, we need to send more people around the mine. Anyone who looks suspicious will be arrested. There is no need to interrogate them. Just hand them over to Zhu Liang.¡± He said.


    Zhu Liang was his army member and his think tank. He was a somewhat thin man.


    All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay after hearing this, this order is very strange! But the soldiers just obeyed the order, and they didn¡¯t raise any objections.


    Wang Bin talked a lot, and he didn¡¯t get up until 2:00 noon to leave.


    All the soldiers filed out and hurried to the cafeteria, feeling really hungry.


    Passing by a long-faced soldier, a soldier raised his nose, what is so fragrant? I looked around and saw nothing.


    Another soldier stopped and turned his head to look.


    ¡°Come here soon.¡± Deputy General Zhao greeted the long-faced soldier at a glance.


    The long-faced soldier turned to the back, picked up a food box, walked around the crowd, and arrived in front of Deputy General Zhao.


    ¡°Don¡¯t go to the cafeteria, there are many people there, go to the tea room, there should be no one there at the moment.¡± Lieutenant General Li also smelled the fragrance in the food box, and hurriedly said.


    Several people went to the tea room, and sure enough, there was no one there.


    The long-faced soldier opened the food box and the plate covered by the dish, and suddenly a gust of hot air accompanied by aroma rushed to his face.


    The most eye-catching thing is the thing in the large white porcelain bowl, which is bright red and oily, and the tender meat slices are hidden in the red soup. There are bright red peppers on it, and emerald green shallots, all kinds of aromas are mixed together , straight to the heart.


    This is boiled meat. When the long-faced soldier saw it, he murmured in his heart, wondering why the boiled meat was like this.


    ¡°This is for me, don¡¯t grab it!¡± Deputy General Zhao saw it clearly, picked up the big bowl, and put it in front of him, for fear that others would **** it from him. It¡¯s not that he loves money, it¡¯s that this dish is so delicious that he is reluctant to give it to others.


    Lieutenant Bao looked greedy, but his fat intestines didn¡¯t look bad either.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, what¡¯s yours and mine? Doesn¡¯t my fish look delicious?¡± Lieutenant General Li was also greedy for the bowl of meat, so he took out his own fish and showed it to Vice General Zhao.


    Dry roasted fish, the whole carp is served with diced pork belly, which is full of fragrance.


    The three of them looked at each other, what¡¯s yours and mine, just eat it! Yes, eat!


    The three of them picked up their chopsticks and were about to start eating when a head came over suddenly, ¡°What kind of dish is this, it smells so good!¡±


    At first glance, four or five soldiers were standing at the door, and they all had a very good relationship with them.


    Lieutenant General Li slapped his head straight, he didn¡¯t go to the cafeteria because he wanted to hide from them, but he was still discovered by them.


    Lieutenant General Bao yelled at several people, ¡°Are you dogs? You have such a good nose.¡±


    Several soldiers laughed, there is no way, that dish is too delicious! Give them a taste first, and then treat them to eat next time they buy a few more.


    After eating, Jiang Yunzhu went to the town again, firstly, to buy some ingredients for the evening, and to add some meat, secondly, since the three of Jiang Lin wanted to learn how to read from Shen Fengming, they should study hard. No matter what Shen Fengming thought, this was a rare opportunity for Jiang Lin and the others.


    Even if I have money in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to hire such a master to teach.


    She bought another four sets of pens and paper, one set was for Shen Fengming, the price was slightly more expensive, and the remaining three sets were for Jiang Lin and others. As for her, she just went through the motions and just bought that in the morning.


    At the end of the day, in the Jiang family hall, Jiang Lin had already wiped clean the only square table in the house, and Jiang Yunxue found a chair and three stools of uneven height.


    The furniture that Jiang¡¯s family uses now is all left over from Mrs. Feng¡¯s move, and there is no set of things at all.


    There was only one table, Shen Fengming sat behind the table, Jiang Yunzhu sat on his right hand side, Jiang Lin sat on his left hand side, Jiang Yunxue and Jiang Wu sat opposite.


    ¡°I¡¯ll listen to it too.¡± Yang Sheng had been staring at this side for a long time, and seeing that he had already set up his posture, he immediately sat behind Jiang Wu with a broken stool he found somewhere.


    ¡°Uncle, sit here!¡± Jiang Wu thought that Yang Sheng really wanted to listen, so he kindly moved his chair to the side and asked him to sit forward.


    The smile on Yang Sheng¡¯s face almost froze, ¡°Uncle?¡± He called him uncle, sister Jiang Yunzhu, so isn¡¯t he a generation older than Jiang Yunzhu? Besides, is he that old?


    ¡°Just call me Brother, Brother Yang.¡± He said.


    ¡°Brother Yang.¡± Jiang Wu was kind.


    Only then did Yang Sheng feel happy again, and patted Jiang Wu¡¯s head, this kid has a future.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t seem to notice his little movements, picked up the pen, and started writing on the paper. ¡°One, two, three¡­ nine¡­ one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand.¡± Since it was used for keeping accounts, he taught them numbers first.


    number? Listening to Jiang Lin and the others reciting ¡°one and two¡±, Jiang Yunzhu suddenly felt like returning to kindergarten.


    At that time she was learning to write, even though there were grids in the notebook, she still couldn¡¯t write neatly, so she used a ruler to block the writing at the bottom, and the bottom of the written words were all flat, which was ugly to death.


    Look at Shen Fengming again, on such a huge piece of paper, there is not even a contrasting object, but he writes horizontally and vertically, every word, and the spacing between each word is exactly the same, just like measuring with a ruler.


    Jiang Yunzhu has also met many scholars, but few like him. She wonders if he is a bit obsessive-compulsive.


    His hands are quite beautiful, with slender fingers and well-defined joints. There are many thin calluses on the tiger¡¯s mouth and finger pulp. It can be seen that this is a pair of hands with a knife. I don¡¯t know how many people died under these hands.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked away and stopped looking around.


    The autumn was light, and the birds were singing outside the window. Yang Sheng was very interested in listening to it at first, looking around to find something, but it turned out that Shen Fengming was only really teaching literacy, and he immediately lost interest.


    After a while, he wanted to retreat. If he had the time, wouldn¡¯t it be nice to go to bed and sleep?


    At this moment, he found out that Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s state was not right?


    Looking carefully, he really found out the clues. She seemed to be listening to the class seriously, but in fact, she had already met Zhou Gong in her dream. This surprised him endlessly, sitting next to Shen Fengming, she could also fall asleep? Moreover, she is very capable, pretending to be real in class, if he hadn¡¯t looked carefully, he would not have noticed that she had fallen asleep.


    He wished he hadn¡¯t met her sooner, otherwise she would have taught him this skill. Why would the old master chase and beat him every day when he was in class!


    But Yang Sheng didn¡¯t know that Jiang Yunzhu had been tempered in the classroom for more than 20 years in modern times to do this. How could he learn it if he wanted to.


    Yang Sheng raised his eyebrows at Shen Fengming, his students are not paying attention to the class and are sleeping, he doesn¡¯t care?


    Shen Fengming¡¯s voice did not change, he knew that Jiang Yunzhu was just too tired.

 Chapter 23

    Jiang Yunzhu was indeed very tired. She didn¡¯t go to bed until after eleven o¡¯clock last night, but she woke up at three o¡¯clock this morning, and has been busy until now. So even though she knew that Shen Fengming was at the side, even if she reminded herself to be more vigilant, when she really sat on the stool, she still fell asleep involuntarily.


    She breathed steadily, her slender eyelashes drooped, and her red lips were slightly parted, calm and peaceful.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s gaze quickly swept across her lips, and landed on the white paper in front of him.


    I feel sweet.


    ¡°Zhu Qin You Xu, He Lu Shi Zhang.¡± Jiang Lin and the others read, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s eyelashes trembled, and she sat up straight.


    ¡°Kong Cao Yan Hua, Jin Wei Tao Jiang.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu understood that Shen Fengming was teaching them the family names. He has a heart, and to keep accounts, the first thing is to know numbers, and the second is to be able to write names.


    She glanced at him quietly, he didn¡¯t notice that she was sleeping, did he?


    Shen Fengming¡¯s face was the same, from her angle, he could see his side face as if drawn with a pen, the lines were graceful and tough, his eyes were like cold stars, deep and bright.


    She shouldn¡¯t have noticed, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at others.


    Jiang Lin studied very seriously and seemed to be concentrating on it. So did Jiang Yunxue, even with some excitement. This girl who was always well-behaved and cowardly at ordinary times seemed to be a different person at this time, and there seemed to be fire in her eyes.


    Jiang Wu, Jiang Wu¡¯s little head nodded, Jiang Yunzhu shook his head.


    Then she gave the last playful look to Yang Sheng.


    Jiang Yunzhu was slightly taken aback, what did he mean?


    ¡°Okay, that¡¯s all for today.¡± Shen Fengming said at this time.


    ¡°My lord, it¡¯s been hard work. Come on, drink some water.¡± Mrs. Chen kept listening to the movement in the room, and when she heard that it was over, she quickly brought the prepared tea to Shen Fengming. Shen Fengming taught Jiang Yunzhu and others how to read, and she was grateful and thankful in every way, all in this tea.


    The tea leaves were of poor quality, but Shen Fengming didn¡¯t seem to notice, took the tea bowl and took a sip.


    Yang Sheng leaned over to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s side and asked in a low voice, ¡°Can you teach me your skills?¡± Maybe he can still use them in the future.


    ¡°What ability?¡± Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t understand.


    Yang Sheng laughed, ¡°It¡¯s just the ability to sleep with eyes open!¡±


    Sleeping with eyes open, does she have it? At most, he would sleep with his eyes closed. No, he knew she was sleeping? Jiang Yunzhu looked at Yang Sheng.


    Yang Sheng¡¯s expression said it all.


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to cover her face with her hands. Suddenly she thought again, no, even Yang Sheng found out that she was asleep, so Shen Fengming¡­


    She looked towards Shen Fengming, and met his dark eyes.


    Sure enough, he found out, Jiang Yunzhu quickly looked away, and lowered his head. She swears, she really didn¡¯t mean to.


    ¡°Tell me, why¡­¡± Yang Sheng continued to ask, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Shen Fengming put down his tea and stood up.


    ¡°What?¡± Yang Sheng asked a little confused.


    ¡°Do business.¡± As Shen Fengming said, he had already walked outside.


    Yang Sheng understood what he meant, and his face drooped. Isn¡¯t what he¡¯s doing right now?


    Before leaving, Shen Fengming turned his head to look at him, with this meaning in his eyes.


    ¡°At least wait for me¡­¡± Wait until he learns Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s skills!


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t speak, just looked at him like that.


    ¡°Okay, why is my life so hard?¡± Yang Sheng howled dryly, and followed Shen Fengming.


    ¡°Are they going to go out to collect grain?¡± Chen looked at the backs of the two and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that they will wait for the buddy to come?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu frowned and remained silent.


    In the evening, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng came back, Shen Fengming took out a map and checked something, while Yang Sheng lay paralyzed on the bed and didn¡¯t want to move.


    Jiang Yunzhu had already prepared meals for them. This afternoon, she bought a chicken for them, and now it happens to be a chicken and three meals. Make Kung Pao Chicken with chicken breast, shred chicken thigh and make a cold salad with carrots and cabbage.


    Originally, this dish should use shredded cucumbers, but there are no more cucumbers this season. She tried cutting the tender cabbage into thin shreds, which was also very refreshing.


    Finally, make a soup with a chicken rack, and pair it with two plates of pancakes, which is almost enough for Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming to eat.


    Sure enough, when Yang Sheng saw this dinner, he regained his energy. He was so focused on the meal that he forgot to learn from Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu backed out.


    When Jiang Cheng came back in the evening, he was very grateful when he heard that the businessman who was staying with him taught a few children how to read. He had thought about making children literate before, but if a child wanted to enter a private school, he would need ten taels of silver every year for Shu Xiu. To him, this was like a dream far away, a dream that could not be realized at all.


    Now the dream has come true?


    ¡°You must study hard and don¡¯t make others angry.¡± He told Jiang Lin and the others, especially Jiang Wu. He was young, so he was afraid that he would not understand these things.


    Jiang Wu nodded timidly. When he was learning calligraphy in the afternoon, he seemed to have fallen asleep. That big brother is not angry, is he?


    The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt, and he decided to study hard tomorrow.


    Jiang Cheng didn¡¯t tell Jiang Yunzhu, he thought she was very sensible, so there was no need for him to say these things.


    Jiang Yunzhu stood there, well, she knew she was wrong and shouldn¡¯t sleep. Even if she knew those characters, it would be good to learn calligraphy from Shen Fengming.


    This is a rare opportunity. His calligraphy was praised by Chang Ge elders.


    After exhorting, Jiang Cheng took a few children to the side room to thank Shen Fengming.


    ¡°You two young masters, I have really caused you trouble. Children are not sensible, if they do something wrong, you can just punish them, you are welcome.¡± Jiang Cheng said sincerely.


    In ancient times, it was emphasized that strict teachers produce excellent apprentices, and filial sons are produced under the stick. When a teacher punishes a student, the parents will not say a word, and sometimes the teacher even punishes the parents together, and no one thinks there is anything wrong.


    On the contrary, if the teacher does not punish the students, the parents are still unwilling, thinking that you may not be paying attention to teaching.


    Yang Sheng had been punished quite a lot when he was in school, but now hearing what he said, his expression was weird.


    ¡°We may not be able to stay here for too long.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Cheng understood, but was still very grateful to him.


    A few more words of thanks, afraid of disturbing Shen Fengming¡¯s rest, he left with Jiang Yunzhu and others.


    After they left, Yang Sheng drank tea and asked Shen Fengming, ¡°Ms. Jiang is sleeping in the afternoon, why don¡¯t you punish her?¡±


    ¡°How to punish?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    ¡°This¡­¡± Do you still need to ask him, Yang Sheng almost spit out the tea in his mouth, how to punish him, of course¡­Suddenly, he felt something wrong, looked at Shen Fengming, and met his eyes.


    His eyes were as cold as a cold pool.


    Yang Sheng shuddered, and smiled awkwardly, ¡°Our Qilin Guards made mistakes before, didn¡¯t you punish them all?¡±


    ¡°They are just ordinary people.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    ¡°The teacher should punish the students.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not her teacher.¡± Just teach her for a few days.


    Yang Sheng lost his temper, so he shouldn¡¯t argue with him about this matter.


    ¡°I was wrong, I was wrong, okay.¡± He surrendered.


    Jiang Cheng and the others went back to have dinner and started to get busy again. Knead noodles, chop vegetables, and prepare for making spicy soup and fried steamed buns tomorrow morning.


    This busy, busy until Haishi.


    Lying on the bed, Yang Sheng listened to the busy sounds in the kitchen outside, and said to Shen Fengming, ¡°It¡¯s really hard work for them!¡± It was much harder than their Qilin Guards, especially Jiang Yunzhu, who was busy all day long.


    He suddenly understood why Jiang Yunzhu fell asleep in the afternoon, and he regretted it, regretting that he shouldn¡¯t have asked her about her sleep, and made fun of Shen Fengming about it at night.


    ¡°En.¡± Shen Fengming said lightly, without any emotional ups and downs.


    Yang Sheng sighed, talking to him was better than a rock.


    Is it hard? If someone asks Jiang Yunzhu this question, she will answer, ¡°hard work¡±. But as long as we get through this period and wait for the takeaway business to start up and stop making breakfast, it will be much better.


    So the future is bright, and Jiang Yunzhu doesn¡¯t feel tired anymore.


    The next morning they went to set up a stall as usual, and today they made meat pies. Those who want to eat meat pies, seeing that they finally have them today, hurriedly bought one to eat. There are also those who are afraid that they will be gone tomorrow, who didn¡¯t want to buy or wanted to buy one, but immediately decided to buy one or two.


    Therefore, today the meat pie is selling very well.


    ¡°Yunzhu, how did you come up with that idea?¡± Mrs. Chen admired, the idea of selling meat pancakes every two days is really amazing. A Rouchow cake costs six cents, and selling one is worth two bowls of Hu spicy soup. She obviously felt that the money collected in the money jar today was a lot more.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, this is all small money.


    After a while, a big customer came.


    It was the long-faced soldier who was following Deputy General Zhao. He trotted over with the food box in hand, handed the food box to Jiang Yunzhu, and asked, ¡°Boss made porridge or meat pancakes today?¡±


    ¡°Rock cooking cake.¡± Jiang Yunzhu took the food box and returned.


    ¡°I want thirty meat pies and eight bowls of soup. Please fix them for me. I will carry them to the mountain.¡± The long-faced soldier said.


    so much? Jiang Yunzhu has already made some more meat pies today, but it¡¯s still not enough!


    ¡°How many there are, I want them all.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu counted, ¡°There are still nineteen more.¡±


    It was only a third short, the long-faced soldier sighed, he had already arrived early, unexpectedly he was still late.


    ¡°Forget it, give it all to me, and give me another forty oil buns.¡± The long-faced soldier thought for a while.


    This is obviously a meal for seven or eight people, and there are probably new guests. Jiang Yunzhu knew it well, and asked Mrs. Chen to serve the soup, while she went to prepare meat pies and steamed buns.


    ¡°By the way, I have to order lunch with you at noon. You can make the meat pie first, and I will tell you when it is done.¡± The long-faced soldier said again.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart moved slightly, and she asked him casually, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You seem to be in a hurry.¡±


    The long-faced soldier was about to complain, but he looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s just General Wang, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, and he insists on searching the whole mountain and down the mountain, saying to arrest suspicious people.


    Doesn¡¯t this make everyone busy! At this point, he snorted, ¡°There are no suspicious people, so many of us guard here, who dares to make trouble, is not tired of work.¡± ¡°


    When Jiang Yunzhu heard this, her meat-cutting hands paused. The suspicious person must be those two in her family!


    She didn¡¯t ask any more questions, and finished all the meat pies.


    Over there, Mrs. Chen also filled the soup.


    Put the soup into the food box. Rouchuibing, simply put the finished Rouchuibing back into the basket, still covered it with a small quilt, and handed it to the long-faced soldier.


    ¡°It¡¯s not easy for you to take, Jiang Lin, you follow to give it away.¡± Chen called Jiang Lin with a smile.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Lin said, taking the meat pancakes in the basket.


    They were so caring, and the long-faced soldier smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t be busy, I have to tell you about lunch. By the way, how much is the meat pie and soup?¡±


    ¡°Nineteen meat pies, one hundred and fourteen coins, eight bowls of soup, forty steamed buns, twenty-four coins, a total of one hundred and thirty-eight coins.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    The long-faced soldier paid the money, then took out a note and a piece of silver and handed it to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°There are a few dishes on it, and a bowl of the boiled pork from yesterday. You can do the rest. It¡¯s enough for eight.¡± Just eat it by yourself.


    You take this money first, and when the food is delivered, the excess will be refunded and the deficiency will be compensated. ¡°


    It turned out that the five soldiers ate the dishes of the three deputy generals yesterday and thought they were delicious, but the eight of them ate three dishes and none of them could eat enough. The five people felt very sorry, so they said that today they paid for a table of food, and asked Vice General Zhao to eat for the three of them.


    They didn¡¯t know Jiang Yunzhu, so they let this long-faced soldier run errands. Bring breakfast by the way.


    Jiang Yunzhu weighed the silver, it was more than half a tael, and then looked at the note, there were five dishes, namely elbow, Jiaoliu meatball, braised pork, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, hot kidney, plus a bowl of boiled meat, all right Well, it¡¯s all meat.


    The food for eight people must be enough money. After watching it, Jiang Yunzhu had already figured out what to do.


    Sending away the long-faced soldiers, Jiang Yunzhu continued to sell soup, and later there were people who wanted to buy meat pancakes, and they were all regretful when they heard that they were sold out.


    Because of the big business of long-faced soldiers, the Jiang family¡¯s food has been sold out before the hour of the day.


    They packed their things and were ready to go back.


    At this time, a person came driving a donkey cart, it was Xu Qingshan.


    ¡°Close up the stall so early today?¡± He was surprised, and then hurried over to help clean it up.


    ¡°I have a big customer today, and I bought a lot.¡± Chen said with a smile, and then he was a little annoyed, ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten breakfast yet, hey, I knew I would leave a bowl for you.¡±


    ¡°No need, Auntie, you can sell it if you can. I¡¯ll just eat something when I get home.¡± Xu Qingshan hurriedly said.


    Everyone cleaned up together, and soon finished packing, Xu Qingshan moved the things to his donkey cart.


    ¡°How embarrassing.¡± Mrs. Chen said while pulling something.


    ¡°Auntie, I have to go back anyway, by the way.¡±


    Chen let go and looked at Jiang Yunzhu who was busy on the side, she understands!


    Although Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t see it, she also heard the conversation between Mrs. Chen and Xu Qingshan, and frowned slightly. She didn¡¯t want to trouble Xu Qingshan very much.


    Everyone walked back in a donkey cart, and arrived at Changshi Village in a short while.


    ¡°Auntie, are you still going to the town today? I¡¯ll go to the town to buy some tobacco leaves for my father later.¡± Xu Qingshan asked at the door of Jiang¡¯s house while helping Mrs. Chen unload her things. That means, if Mrs. Chen and Jiang Yunzhu go to the town, they can still ride in his donkey cart.


    Jiang Yunzhu was going to the town, Chen smiled.


    It was strange that Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t detect any abnormalities at this time. Xu Qingshan went to the town yesterday, and today? He must send her off on purpose.


    She had some feelings about Xu Qingshan¡¯s intentions, but he never said it, and she couldn¡¯t bring it up herself.


    Or find a chance to tell him clearly. Immediately, she would refuse.


    But how to refuse, she really wants to go to town.


    At this moment, a male voice said, ¡°Miss Jiang, are you going to town? How about we take you?¡±


    Looking up, I saw Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming riding two horses, strolling over from there.


    The author has something to say:


    Zhu Qin You Xu, He Lu Shi Zhang. ¡°Kong Cao Yan Hua, Jin Wei Tao Jiang.¡± ¡°From a hundred surnames.

 Chapter 24

    Shen Fengming, tall and straight, with a handsome face, seems to have a faint sense of oppression around him, which makes people dare not look at him closely.


    Yang Sheng is not much inferior to him, his eyes are slightly longer than peach blossom eyes, even if they are ruthless, they are also touching.


    Xu Qingshan recognized the two people as the two he met in the small restaurant on the way to flee from famine, he was very surprised, how did they get here?


    They took Jiang Yunzhu to town? They and Jiang Yunzhu¡­


    ¡°These two are merchants who sell food, and they borrowed from my house.¡± Mrs. Chen quickly explained.


    It turned out to be like this, Xu Qingshan knew that Mrs. Chen approached Gu Yongde yesterday to tell her that there was a grain merchant in her family, but he didn¡¯t expect that the grain merchant was these two people.


    Yang Sheng got off the horse, looked at Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Miss Jiang, are you going to town?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu really wanted to say, she wasn¡¯t going, she wasn¡¯t going to the head office! But if you don¡¯t go, what about the business? When you start a new business, you are most afraid of losing your integrity.


    She nodded with a ¡°hmm¡±.


    ¡°We also happen to be going to the town, so we can take you.¡± Yang Sheng said.


    ¡°My lord, I¡¯m afraid this is wrong. You only have two horses¡­¡± Mrs. Chen didn¡¯t finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant. Jiang Yunzhu was a girl, and they had two men and two horses, how could they bring them?


    One man and one woman ride together? Jiang Yunzhu is a girl, what does she look like when people see her.


    It¡¯s still the two men riding one of them, and let Jiang Yunzhu ride the other.


    No matter how you look at it, it¡¯s not right.


    Yang Sheng was choked up, he really hadn¡¯t thought about this question, he just saw Xu Qingshan was going to take Jiang Yunzhu away again, so he said that impulsively.


    Now, he glanced at Shen Fengming, riding a horse with him?


    Shen Fengming looked at him quietly.


    Yang Sheng shrank his neck. But this little matter can¡¯t trouble him, he said to Chen Shi, ¡°If we go alone, we can get things done. In this way, let Miss Jiang ride my horse, and I will just rest at home.¡±


    ¡°But Yunzhu doesn¡¯t know how to ride a horse.¡± Chen was worried, she didn¡¯t know Shen Fengming¡¯s details, how could she let a girl like Jiang Yunzhu go out with him, ¡°Let¡¯s let Yunzhu ride a donkey cart, that¡¯s safe.


    Don¡¯t bother me, sir. ¡± she said.


    ¡°Yes, just take my donkey cart.¡± Xu Qingshan also said.


    ¡°No trouble, the donkey cart is so slow. My horse travels 800 miles a day and arrives in the town in a short while. It doesn¡¯t matter if Miss Jiang can¡¯t ride. My horse is smart and docile, and it won¡¯t hurt anyone at all.


    Do not believe you look at. ¡°Yang Sheng said, turned around and whistled at his black horse, and shouted, ¡°Yueying. ¡°


    The black horse seemed to know that he was calling it, so it trotted over and rubbed its head against his hand.


    good horse! Everyone admired in their hearts.


    Half an hour later, Jiang Yunzhu sat on the horse, still feeling unreal and weird.


    Yang Sheng insisted on her riding his horse, Chen was worried, Xu Qingshan said he was going to town too.


    In the end, she was riding Yang Sheng¡¯s horse, Xu Qingshan was following behind in the donkey cart, and Yang Sheng was sitting on the donkey cart?


    Jiang Yunzhu looked back, and saw Yang Sheng sitting on the donkey cart in a brocade robe, with two long legs slung across his shoulders, which didn¡¯t fit well no matter how he looked.


    Feeling Jiang Yunzhu looking at him, Yang Sheng smiled, showing his white teeth.


    Jiang Yunzhu silently withdrew her gaze and looked to the side.


    Beside Shen Fengming, Yang Sheng said that although his horse is docile, he is afraid of being in danger, so he put the horse¡¯s rein in Shen Fengming¡¯s hand and asked him to help lead it, so that it will be safe.


    Shen Fengming helped her lead the horse, and the two walked side by side. And because the reins of the horse were so long, Jiang Yunzhu was very close to him, so close that sometimes their hair would become entangled with the wind.


    ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯ll do it myself, this horse is really docile.¡± Jiang Yunzhu was afraid that he would bump into him accidentally, so she moved to the side and said.


    Shen Fengming looked at her, because of her height, she looked up at him, her brows and eyes were like water, and her lips were red.


    ¡°Let me do it,¡± he heard himself say.


    When he arrived in town, Jiang Yunzhu still had a lot of things to buy today. Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming followed, she pretended to be illiterate and asked them to help read the names of the dishes on the note, then she went straight to the market.


    After walking a few steps, she suddenly found that Xu Qingshan, Yang Sheng and even Shen Fengming were following behind.


    Don¡¯t they go to work? She turned to look at them.


    ¡°I¡¯ll just buy some tobacco leaves, and when I go back, I¡¯ll just pass by a shop that sells tobacco leaves to buy some.¡± Xu Qingshan said.


    ¡°We¡¯re fine.¡± Yang Sheng said with a smile.


    Jiang Yunzhu stopped, and decided to speak clearly.


    ¡°Brother Xu, can you come here?¡± She said to Xu Qingshan.


    Xu Qingshan walked up to her in a few steps.


    Jiang Yunzhu walked a few steps forward, found a corner where no one was around, thought for a while, and said to him, ¡°Brother Xu, you don¡¯t have to wait for me, I can go back by myself. Also, tomorrow morning, if you want If you want Hu spicy soup, come to our stall, and I will save a bowl for you.


    If you help us move things, no need, I don¡¯t want to trouble you too much. ¡°


    ¡°No¡­¡± Xu Qingshan wanted to say, no trouble, he is willing to help her. But suddenly, he understood something.


    He looked at her in a daze, did she mean that?


    ¡°I just want to make good money now, and I don¡¯t want to do anything else.¡± Jiang Yunzhu felt that what he said should be clear enough.


    Xu Qingshan felt as if he had been hit on the head with a stick, and his head was empty. After a while, he smiled wryly. Jiang Yunzhu is beautiful and smart. To him, she is like the moon in the sky. He knows that he is not good enough for her, but he always has a little hope in his heart, what if!


    Now that she made it clear, his heart that had been floating all this time also fell to the ground.


    ¡°It¡¯s because of those two¡­¡± He wanted to ask if it was because of Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming.


    ¡°No.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Xu Qingshan actually still has a lot to say, for example, those two people don¡¯t know the truth, for example, he is afraid that she will be cheated and so on.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at him with clear eyes.


    Xu Qingshan suddenly couldn¡¯t say anything, a smart girl like her should know all about it.


    ¡°I see.¡± He just said.


    Jiang Yunzhu nodded, that¡¯s all right.


    She looked at Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming again. In fact, it was mainly Yang Sheng. He was the one who came up with the idea of bringing her to the town, and he was the one who followed her. She didn¡¯t understand what he wanted to do.


    like her? She doesn¡¯t feel it at all.


    Yang Sheng just didn¡¯t want Jiang Yunzhu to be with Xu Qingshan. Just now Jiang Yunzhu was talking with Xu Qingshan over there, although he didn¡¯t hear what she said clearly, but looking at the expressions of the two of them, especially Xu Qingshan, he also guessed something.


    If Xu Qingshan doesn¡¯t follow Jiang Yunzhu, he doesn¡¯t care.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the tea house to drink tea and have some breakfast.¡± Yang Sheng smiled, ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten breakfast yet, come together. You have been cooking for us these two days, now it¡¯s my turn to treat you to dinner.¡± .¡±


    ¡°Thank you, no need, you go, I have something else to do. Besides, you gave money to cook for you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu spoke very politely, and the meaning of refusal was obvious.


    Yang Sheng didn¡¯t force it either, and watched her leave with a smile.


    Jiang Yunzhu quickly bought the things she needed today, she thought, or she would just hire a donkey cart to go back.


    There are so many things that she can¡¯t take them at all.


    It seems that after saving money, I still have to buy a donkey first.


    Just as she was thinking, a big hand took the food in her hand.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked up, it was Xu Qingshan, he hasn¡¯t gone back yet?


    Xu Qingshan smiled, ¡°I thought about it a lot just now.¡± After a pause, he said, ¡°Since you call me Brother Xu, I will treat you as my younger sister from now on.


    We escaped from the famine together, so we shouldn¡¯t be separated.


    In the future, I still want to hang out with Uncle Jiang.


    You are so smart, you will definitely come up with a good idea, maybe I can make a lot of money with Uncle Jiang in the future. ¡°The last sentence, he said jokingly.


    Jiang Yunzhu was slightly startled and looked at him.


    Xu Qingshan wanted to avoid her gaze at first, but then he raised his eyes and looked back at her with sincere eyes.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled.


    Seeing her smile, Xu Qingshan smiled himself, and the last bit of doubt in his heart disappeared.


    ¡°Get in the car, and I¡¯ll take you home. I¡¯ll send you off today, but tomorrow may not be the case. Tomorrow, I¡¯ll take a few more people and save money early to buy a donkey.¡± Xu Qingshan said loudly.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu agreed with a smile, and got on the donkey cart.


    Soon, they arrived at Changshi Village.


    Mrs. Chen was sitting worriedly at the door choosing vegetables, when she saw Jiang Yunzhu coming back in Xu Qingshan¡¯s donkey cart, she breathed a sigh of relief.


    After unloading the things, Xu Qingshan returned home.


    When I arrived at the door, I just saw a person coming out of it. That person was holding a scroll of painting in his hand. His eyebrows were like mountains, his eyes were like rivers, and his whole body was like clouds and water in his movements. He was indescribably handsome and elegant.


    This person is his cousin Gu Yanzhou.


    Looking at him, Xu Qingshan suddenly thought of Yang Sheng, Shen Fengming, and¡­ Jiang Yunzhu.

 Chapter 25

    Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming are undoubtedly excellent, as dazzling as the sun in the sky, Xu Qingshan thinks he is not as good as them, but Gu Yanzhou is different, he looks good, reads well, and has a good personality. The future is also good.


    It¡¯s good everywhere, and you know the root and the bottom. Unlike Yang Sheng and the other two, they said they were grain merchants, but he didn¡¯t think they were like that at all.


    The storyteller didn¡¯t say that some men would pretend to be rich men to deceive those girls, and then sell them or force them to do that kind of business.


    By the way, what was the name of the book, it seemed to be called saving something, he couldn¡¯t remember.


    The more he thought about it, the more worried he was about Jiang Yunzhu. She has a delicate mind, but a girl always suffers from two men.


    It¡¯s his cousin, he didn¡¯t think about it before, but looking at him now, isn¡¯t Jiang Yunzhu and Jiang Yunzhu a match made in heaven?


    Both of them look like the people in the painting, one is like an orchid branch and a jade tree, and the other is like a bright moon. There is no such good marriage.


    And my cousin and aunt also like Jiang Yunzhu very much.


    ¡°Cousin, you¡¯re back. What are you thinking?¡± Seeing Xu Qingshan staring at him, Gu Yanzhou asked with a smile.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think about anything, you want to go out?¡± Xu Qingshan asked.


    Gu Yanzhou shook the painting in his hand, ¡°I drew a painting today, and I¡¯m going to ask the teacher to help me comment.¡±


    Gu Yanzhou is currently studying in the Wenyuan Academy in the county, and he is one of the best.


    There are more scholars in Wuling County than in other places, which is related to the special situation here.


    Parents have worked hard to earn money and know that it is not easy to make money in the mine, so they don¡¯t want their children to sacrifice their lives for money. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars, only by studying and taking the imperial examination can they reach the sky in one step and shine on the lintel, so everyone spares no money to let their children study and hope that their children will become dragons.


    ¡°What¡¯s the painting, can I have a look at it?¡± Xu Qingshan asked.


    Gu Yanzhou felt that he was very strange today, and he didn¡¯t care about his studies at all before. But he said it, and he opened the painting.


    Xu Qingshan looked at the painting, but his spirit tightened.


    I saw a reef and big waves painted on the painting. As the scroll was opened, the turbulent waves seemed to hit the shore, making people feel palpitations.


    ¡°This, is this what you drew?¡± Xu Qingshan asked.


    ¡°Yes. Today, I read Mr. Su Shi¡¯s ¡®The rocks pierced through the sky, the stormy waves hit the shore, and a thousand piles of snow were rolled up.¡¯ On a whim, I drew this painting.¡±


    Xu Qingshan doesn¡¯t understand poetry, but he also thinks that the thousand piles of snow are very beautiful, and then corresponds to this painting, and the waves are as beautiful as the snowdrifts.


    ¡°You draw really well.¡± He admired.


    Gu Yanzhou shook his head, ¡°Just thinking about it, if there is a chance, I¡¯d better go to Chibi Yatou to see for myself.¡±


    ¡°There will be a chance.¡± Xu Qingshan responded casually, and then asked, ¡°Do you have anything to do this afternoon?¡±


    ¡°It should be fine, cousin?¡±


    ¡°You go first, I will tell you when you come back.¡± Xu Qingshan said.


    Gu Yanzhou agreed and went out.


    At this moment in the Jiang family, Mrs. Chen was helping Jiang Yunzhu move things into the house while looking at her. There were four people when they left, how come two of them came back? Also, those two merchants insisted on taking Jiang Yunzhu to town with them today. They were two young men, and Jiang Yunzhu was a beautiful girl, so she couldn¡¯t help but think about it.


    ¡°Mother, just ask if you have any questions.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said directly.


    Instead, Mrs. Chen felt embarrassed, ¡°Then, those two merchants?¡±


    ¡°As soon as we got to town we separated and I don¡¯t know where they went.¡±


    Mrs. Chen still wanted to ask about Xu Qingshan, but when she thought that Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t like to mention that matter, she just asked her if she had breakfast.


    ¡°No.¡± Jiang Yunzhu originally planned to skip breakfast and use the saved money to hire a donkey cart to come back.


    Chen¡¯s heart ached immediately, he had been busy for a long time, and he still hadn¡¯t eaten yet? As she entered the room to warm up her meal, she said, ¡°Next time if you are in a hurry to go to town, eat a bowl of spicy soup or meat pancakes before going.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s for sale,¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. Mainly, she ate it, but Mrs. Chen didn¡¯t eat it herself, nor let Jiang Lin and the others eat it. She ate it alone, and she couldn¡¯t eat it.


    Afraid that Mrs. Chen would say anything more, she said again, ¡°Tomorrow I will go to town after breakfast.¡± The main reason is that these two days are special. Yesterday Mrs. Chen urged her to go to town, and today even Yang Sheng urged her.


    Probably not tomorrow.


    When Chen heard this, she was stunned. After a while, she brought her breakfast. It was still pancakes and porridge, but there was a boiled egg with a pink skin and a round shape. It was cute to look at.


    ¡°Mom, this egg¡­¡± Jiang Yunzhu was surprised.


    ¡°A few days ago we invited Aunt Feng and the others to dinner. Didn¡¯t they bring two chickens? I kept them in the backyard. Today I went to feed the chickens. Who would have thought that I would find an egg.¡± Speaking of this egg, Chen¡¯s eyebrows and eyes were smiling. .


    Jiang Yunzhu was also very happy.


    ¡°Eat quickly.¡± Chen urged. She originally wanted to save this egg for money, but just now she heard that Jiang Yunzhu hadn¡¯t had breakfast at this time, so she felt sorry for her, so she boiled it.


    ¡°Leave it to¡­¡± Jiang Yunzhu wanted to say to Mr. Chen or Jiang Cheng, one of them was the oldest, and the other worked harder than her.


    ¡°Eat it, here it is for you.¡± Mrs. Chen directly peeled off the egg and put it into Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s bowl.


    The white of the egg is tender and tender, and the burnt yolk inside can be seen through the crystal clear white on the outside.


    Jiang Yunzhu ate the pancakes and porridge with the eggs, and this morning was quite satisfactory.


    After eating, today was earlier than yesterday, Jiang Yunzhu went back to the room and squinted for a while.


    When she woke up, she heard noises in the yard, and when she looked outside, it was Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming who had returned.


    She watched them enter the side room and get up to cook.


    Knuckles and buckle meat, these are not difficult for her, they just take a little time. She also handles dishes that are particular about heat, such as hot fried kidneys, just right. In the middle, she made Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming¡¯s lunch by the way.


    Jiang Lin had been waiting there for a long time. He had so much cooking today that he couldn¡¯t handle it by himself. Mrs. Chen went out with him to deliver food to the foot of the mountain.


    There will be more people ordering meals in the future, and delivery of meals will also be a problem, Jiang Yunzhu thought while looking at their backs.


    But this is not a problem. When that time comes, she will naturally have a way.


    After washing her hands, she brought Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming¡¯s meals to the side room.


    Today she made them lion¡¯s head, stir-fried yam, and a dish of mapo tofu.


    Two fist-sized lion heads look mighty. The fried yam is pure white and placed in a white porcelain plate, like white jade. Mapo tofu, what you want is spicy and delicious.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, I¡¯m sorry to trouble you.¡± Yang Sheng said with a smile.


    ¡°No trouble, eat while it¡¯s hot.¡± Jiang Yunzhu replied.


    ¡°it is good.¡±


    Yang Sheng sat down and took a bite of the lion¡¯s head, which was smooth and delicious, and then another bite of mapo tofu, um, delicious!


    ¡°What if we can¡¯t eat such delicious meals in the future?¡± He muttered.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s hand holding the vegetables paused.


    In the afternoon, it was time to learn calligraphy. Jiang Yunzhu slept for a while this morning, and now she is in good spirits, so she decided to study calligraphy hard.

 Chapter 26

    It was still the same square table, today Shen Fengming taught a few people how to write, firstly the method of holding a pen, then some precautions when writing, and finally, only practice left.


    The first time I hold a brush, the tip of the brush is soft and it is difficult to grasp the strength. Jiang Lin writes crookedly. Jiang Yunxue is a little better than him, writing in a smooth and steady manner.


    Jiang Wu, accidentally, there were a few big ink dots on the paper, he was so nervous that he gripped the pen tightly. He knew that the pen and paper were very expensive, and he was afraid that if he could not write well, the big brother would be angry.


    ¡°Boy, don¡¯t worry. If you finish writing this thing, it will be the same. If you don¡¯t write it well, it won¡¯t delay your meal.¡± Yang Sheng patted him on the shoulder, feeling like he was looking at someone of the same kind.


    His handwriting was ugly, and several great Confucians forced him to practice, so he almost helped him write, and he still wrote like a dragon and a phoenix. It¡¯s not that it¡¯s beautiful, it¡¯s scribbled, like a strong wind blowing over the grass.


    Shen Fengming glanced at him, ¡°If you talk too much, just go out.¡±


    Yang Sheng rubbed his nose and went out, he didn¡¯t want to go out.


    Jiang Wu seemed to be really comforted by him, the hand holding the pen no longer trembled so much, and he could write a simple word.


    Jiang Yunzhu is literate, and even in her dream she practiced calligraphy seriously for two years in the Marquis of Anping, so she didn¡¯t write the whole characters, for fear that Shen Fengming would see the clues.


    She only wrote horizontally, and it was a little crooked at first, then became stable, and then tried to learn Shen Fengming¡¯s handwriting in details.


    She wrote very seriously, her body leaned forward slightly, her eyebrows were drawn, her lips were drawn together, her soft side face and slender neck outlined a beautiful arc.


    Yang Sheng sat and watched, admiring it. He always thought that beauties should be dressed in brocade clothes and red makeup, paved with red and emerald green, as if sitting in the clouds, but he didn¡¯t expect that there would be something interesting in this shabby room.


    Looking at it, he noticed a slight difference, did Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s arm touch Shen Fengming¡¯s arm?


    His posture didn¡¯t change, but his eyes became brighter.


    According to his observation, it must have been hit. This discovery is not trivial. That¡¯s Shen Fengming, let alone others, even if he touches him, he will be thrown away in disgust, now?


    Did they know their arms were touching?


    The square table was only that big, and there were six people sitting there. Jiang Yunzhu practiced calligraphy seriously, so naturally he didn¡¯t pay attention to what his arm touched.


    Shen Fengming noticed it. He noticed Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s arm when he moved it just now. For the first time, he moved his arm slightly back. The second time, he withdrew his hand. The movement was gentle and did not disturb Jiang Yunzhu. Three times, he didn¡¯t move.


    Yang Sheng naturally saw his movements, and he couldn¡¯t believe his eyes. He, has he been enlightened by the ten thousand years of ice?


    It really made people weep with joy. If Princess Danyang knew, she would be so happy!


    He was hesitating how to help a group of friends, when there was a voice outside.


    ¡°Aunt Chen, is Yunzhu at home?¡± Xu Qingshan brought Gu Yanzhou in from the outside.


    ¡°Here.¡± Mrs. Chen was mending an old dress in the courtyard, and upon hearing this, she quickly stood up and said with a smile, ¡°What, do you need her? Yo, Yanzhou is here too.¡±


    Gu Yanzhou is the son of Gu Yongde, Gu Yongde has helped the Jiang family a lot, Gu Yanzhou himself is a scholar, and he looks good, Chen Shi likes him very much.


    ¡°Something happened.¡± Xu Qingshan looked into the nave.


    The door of the middle hall was open, and he could see that Jiang Yunzhu was sitting at a square table, and the two grain merchants, one was sitting very close to her, the other was sitting opposite her but staring at her with bright eyes. With good intentions.


    ¡°Brother Xu.¡± Hearing the voice, Jiang Yunzhu stood up and saw Xu Qingshan and Gu Yanzhou.


    Her gaze froze for a moment.


    Gu Yanzhou, she met him twice, the first time was at the door of the village chief¡¯s house, and the second time he and the village chief came to her house for dinner. The man in the No. 1 case.


    Looking at it now, I can¡¯t help but think of a lot.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for what happened eleven days later, he would have been the number one scholar who ¡°became famous all over the world¡±. His family is happy and his future is bright.


    But in the dream, his relatives were killed first, and then he was displaced. He didn¡¯t know what kind of suffering he had experienced, so he wrote such a bone-to-toe confession four years later.


    Where did he end up? have no idea. Power disputes in the imperial court have always been extremely cruel. Whether he continued to lie dormant, waiting for an opportunity to overthrow Shen Fengming, or was killed, is unknown.


    But it is a thorny road full of blood.


    He might not be what he is now.


    What now? If eleven days later, this fate can be changed¡­


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart is heavy, for herself and for all the people in Changshi Village.


    She kept staring at Gu Yanzhou, Gu Yanzhou felt strange, this girl, does she like to stare at people so much? That time too, she looked him up and down, this time she stared at him even more.


    Gu Yanzhou is good-looking, and there are many girls who secretly look at him, but there is really no one like Jiang Yunzhu.


    He also looked at her twice.


    Jiang Yunzhu is wearing an ordinary smoke-colored skirt today, without any makeup on her face, and no hairpins on her head, but with her black hair half-up, her eyes are picturesque and her beauty is astonishing.


    In particular, she frowned slightly, and there seemed to be infinite thoughts in her twinkling eyes, which made people want to explore a little bit.


    Standing by the side, Xu Qingshan looked at Jiang Yunzhu and Gu Yanzhou, feeling very satisfied.


    He was happy, so naturally someone was unhappy, Yang Sheng looked at Gu Yanzhou and frowned slightly. It is undeniable that this person is quite handsome, but¡­ he became irritable and poked Shen Fengming with his arm.


    Shen Fengming was also looking at Gu Yanzhou, but there seemed to be no abnormality on his face.


    ¡°Come in and sit down,¡± Chen said.


    Xu Qingshan and Gu Yanzhou entered the house.


    ¡°This is?¡± Xu Qingshan asked when he saw a lot of paper and pens on the square table in the room.


    ¡°This young master taught Yunzhu how to read.¡± Chen explained.


    ¡°So that¡¯s the case. In fact, Yunzhu, if you want to learn how to read, you can also learn from Yanzhou. Why bother with the two sons from the capital. Besides, they will stay here for a long time, right?¡± Xu Qingshan said.


    Yang Sheng raised his eyebrows as soon as he heard it. Listening to these words, why did they seem to be coming towards them!


    ¡°Who is this?¡± He asked Gu Yanzhou.


    Mrs. Chen introduced to both parties, Gu Yanzhou, who is an excellent book reader, Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming, two young masters who came to sell grain from the capital.


    ¡°So I¡¯m a scholar. If that¡¯s the case, I should study hard at home so that I can take the scientific examination next year in the big competition. How can I teach others to read when I have time?¡± Yang Sheng laughed.


    Xu Qingshan was slightly taken aback when he heard this, he just wanted to keep Jiang Yunzhu away from the two of them, but he forgot that Gu Yanzhou was short on time.


    Gu Yanzhou smiled. Although he didn¡¯t know the background of these two young masters, he definitely wanted to help his cousin. So he said, ¡°Participating in the scientific examination is to serve the court and help relatives and neighbors. It is also a small act of kindness. If you don¡¯t do small acts of kindness, why talk about big things?


    What¡¯s more, teaching people to read and write, reviewing the past to learn the new, may help me understand more of the true meaning of the Master¡¯s words.


    This young man said yes or no? ¡°


    He used great principles to suppress people, Yang Sheng really couldn¡¯t say anything, but he didn¡¯t expect that this person looked warm, but his mind was smart.


    ¡°I¡¯m just afraid of wasting your time,¡± he said.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t waste any time, otherwise the two grain sellers should be in a hurry, so how could they have time to teach people how to read and write. Looking at it this way, it really doesn¡¯t take much time.¡± Gu Yanzhou said.


    Yang Sheng was choked up, what did he say, he said it was time-consuming, so why didn¡¯t they think it was time-consuming, he said it was not time-consuming, didn¡¯t he answer Gu Yanzhou¡¯s words? Gu Yanzhou was gagging him with his business.


    Yang Sheng got excited, well, since that¡¯s the case, he said it to him, but he didn¡¯t believe it, he couldn¡¯t argue with him!


    At this moment, a cool voice said, ¡°This matter, Miss Jiang and the others can decide.¡± It was Shen Fengming.


    Yang Sheng and Gu Yanzhou were taken aback when they heard this. They understood what he meant. Why were they arguing? It was Jiang Yunzhu and the others who learned calligraphy. Strong buying and strong selling? It doesn¡¯t make sense.


    Gu Yanzhou clenched his fists and coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment. excuse me!


    Yang Sheng laughed, he had forgotten that as a boss, he would not speak if he didn¡¯t speak, and he could choke to death if he spoke.


    Shen Fengming glanced at him.


    Yang Sheng put away his smile and sat down.


    So now the question falls to Jiang Yunzhu, who does she want to learn calligraphy from. She naturally wanted to learn from Gu Yanzhou, but Yang Sheng and the others lived at home, and she didn¡¯t want Gu Yanzhou to be involved too much. If something changed, and the things in the dream changed, she would be caught off guard.


    This is the first thing about learning characters.


    Xu Qingshan talked about the purpose of his visit today. Didn¡¯t Jiang Yunzhu say that he could get a monthly fee for pulling his feet? He wanted to discuss with her how to implement it. Among them, if you need to write something, you will naturally need Gu Yanzhou¡¯s help.


    This is all ready-made in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s mind. You can get a wooden sign and write the date and name on it. In fact, you can also get another kind of wooden sign with numbers from one to thirty written on it. Every time the customer uses it up, he will be replaced with a wooden sign with a smaller number.


    In fact, this is not considered a monthly subscription, but a subscription, which means that if you buy many times at once, it will be cheaper for you, which is similar to the modern card application.


    Xu Qingshan thinks that the second method is better and saves trouble.


    After this matter was finished quickly, Xu Qingshan bid farewell to Gu Yanzhou and left.


    Before get out of class was over, Jiang Yunzhu continued to practice calligraphy.


    After an unknown amount of time, a voice asked, ¡°Miss Jiang, do you like your current life?¡±


    What do you mean by that? Jiang Yunzhu raised her head and saw Shen Fengming looking at her, with eyes like a deep spring that made it difficult to see the depth.


    The breeze came slowly, blowing his hair on the temples, Jiang Yunzhu came to a sudden, as if in the Anping Marquis Mansion in a dream, he also asked her this question.


    The author has something to say:


    Join v tomorrow, hope everyone supports, thank you!

 Chapter 27

    Jiang Yunzhu thought back carefully, indeed, he asked, how did she answer then? Forget it, I just like it anyway.


    Why is he asking this question again now? Could it be that Qilinwei also works part-time to investigate the happiness of the people?


    She considered it for a while, ¡°I like it. Although it¡¯s a bit bitter now, it will be fine in the future.¡±


    Shen Fengming stared at her closely, as if looking into her heart.


    Jiang Yunzhu quickly put on a very sincere look. She really felt that it was better than being in the Marquis of Anping in her dream, at least she was a free person now. Freedom is a thing, and only when you lose it will you know its value.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, do you want to go to the capital with us?¡± Yang Sheng had been listening with his ears stretched out, so he hurriedly asked.


    Before Jiang Yunzhu could answer, he said, ¡°You haven¡¯t been to the capital, right? The capital is very lively and prosperous. The maple leaves in Baima Temple, the bright moon in Changsong Bridge, the willows in Bianhe River, and the lotus in Zhangyuntai are all unique.¡± .


    There are also beef from Yuanxingju, steamed stuffed buns from Liji, and elbows from Hongyanlou. ¡°


    Yuan Xingju¡¯s beef is indeed delicious. In the dream, Jiang Yunzhu and Lin Ting¡¯an have been to the capital several times and have eaten his beef.


    If there is a chance, she will go to the capital, but can she go with Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming? Forget it anyway.


    She shook her head.


    Yang Sheng was dumbfounded. In his opinion, wouldn¡¯t following them to the capital be a thousand times better than staying in this poor mountain village?


    Early the next morning, Jiang Yunzhu still went to set up a stall to sell breakfast.


    Today she made a lot of stew and cakes.


    The customers who didn¡¯t get the meat pancakes yesterday deliberately came early today. After buying Rouchow Bing, eat it with Hu spicy soup, it is really a great joy in life!


    But Jiang Yunzhu looked straight up the mountain, ordinary guests couldn¡¯t finish eating these meat pies today, wouldn¡¯t Vice General Zhao and the others come to eat today?


    Just as she was thinking, a person came over there, the long-faced soldier from yesterday.


    ¡°It seems to be early again today.¡± Jiang Yunzhu greeted him with a smile.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that the boss¡¯s meat pies will sell out too fast. If I can¡¯t buy meat pies, I will be scolded when I go back.¡± The long-faced soldier sighed.


    He was scolded yesterday, eight people and nineteen meat pies, no one could eat enough.


    ¡°Today¡¯s meat pie is enough.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    The long-faced soldier smiled, ¡°Forty here, and then ten bowls of Hu spicy soup.¡±


    There were two more guests than yesterday, Jiang Yunzhu was overjoyed, and together with Mrs. Chen, he cooked for him.


    After everything was installed, the long-faced soldier took out a piece of paper and a few pieces of silver, ¡°This is the meal ordered at noon, and the amount of silver is written on the dish. By the way, boss, do you sell rice at night?¡± ask.


    Deputy General Zhao and the others ate such a delicious dish at noon, and at night they ate the clear soup in the cafeteria, which was really hard to swallow. He actually wanted the long-faced soldiers to ask Jiang Yuzhu about it yesterday, but he forgot about it.


    ¡°Rice selling is only a trial operation right now, and we won¡¯t sell it at night for now. After a few days, we¡¯ll prepare everything before we sell it. Otherwise, it won¡¯t be good if something goes wrong.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    She spoke politely and made sense, so the long-faced soldiers would not make things difficult for her.


    ¡°Then one day the food will be sold, you must tell him.¡± He only said.


    ¡°Definitely.¡± Jiang Yunzhu agreed.


    The long-faced soldier remembered another thing, ¡°What did the boss say to our lieutenant last time, two meat and one vegetable?¡± This is what he wants to eat, and his monthly silver is no better than that of Vice-General Zhao, but watching Vice-General Zhao eat every day, he just eats it. It was really uncomfortable to smell it, so he asked about it.


    Last time I heard Jiang Yunzhu say that this set meal seems not expensive.


    ¡°This will have to wait for a few days.¡± Jiang Yunzhu apologized.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Just wait.


    Seeing his disappointment, Jiang Yunzhu changed his mind, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a portion of what the guest wants for lunch.¡±


    ¡°Why is this so embarrassing?¡± The long-faced soldier said again with surprise on his face.


    ¡°It¡¯s been a lot of hard work for you to run around. This is a little bit of my heart.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. The long-faced soldier takes care of her business every day. Although he doesn¡¯t buy it, he handles it. If he wants to make things difficult for her, she won¡¯t be able to do it either.


    Give him some sweetness, everyone, hello and me.


    The long-faced **** pushed twice more before happily agreeing.


    After agreeing on a time for lunch delivery, he took his things and turned to leave. Suddenly, he remembered something, turned around and said to Jiang Yunzhu in a low voice, ¡°Girl, it¡¯s not easy for you, let me tell you something, go back early after selling dinner today!¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Jiang Yunzhu was taken aback.


    ¡°I also heard that it seems that people are going to be sent down the mountain today to arrest those who are suspicious.¡± The long-faced soldier said.


    Wang Bin was really terrified of Shen Fengming. He searched the entire mine yesterday, but found no suspicious person, but he was still worried, and decided to search everywhere at the foot of the mountain today.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart skipped a beat, but she didn¡¯t show it on her face, she just said, ¡°Thank you, I will definitely go back early today.¡±


    The long-faced soldier smiled and left.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at his back, hesitating whether to tell Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng about it, Changshi Village is very close to the mine, maybe the defenders would also search there.


    Regarding what happened ten days later, what she thought was that since she couldn¡¯t fight them, she would try to keep things as they were, and on the day of Lidong, she would trick the people in the village into the county to hide from the disaster.


    In this case, one has to think about what would happen to Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming if she hadn¡¯t come to Changshi Village. They might spend the night in the village, but probably not for long. Or maybe they would live in the village, after all the surrounding wilderness.


    Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t judge, but finally she thought of something, why should she make the decision, she just needs to tell Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming the news. People¡¯s choices are sometimes life, let them choose, and there is a high probability that the result will be the same as in the dream.


    With a decision in her heart, she hurried back. When selling Hu spicy soup, she always filled it up for customers, and it almost flowed out. In addition, the long-faced soldiers bought a lot, and they sold things quickly today.


    Half an hour before Chen¡¯s hour, they sold out all the food.


    Sure enough, Xu Qingshan didn¡¯t come back today, Jiang Yunzhu, Chen Shi and others packed up their things and went home.


    When she arrived at home, she first took a look at the side room. Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming were there, and they didn¡¯t know what they were talking about.


    This morning, as soon as Yang Sheng woke up, he heard two long and two short crisp birdsong. He got up immediately and followed the sound to the mountain depression behind the village. There were dozens of well-dressed guards there. When they entered him, they all got off their horses, knelt down and said, ¡°Your subordinate will refer to the deputy commander.¡±


    Qilin Guard¡¯s guards are here, and there are some things that should be done.


    Jiang Yunzhu naturally didn¡¯t know this, she knocked lightly on the door of the side room with her fingers.


    Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming had noticed her when she entered the yard, and had stopped talking long ago.


    Yang Sheng opened the door, ¡°Ms. Jiang, good morning.¡± He smiled.


    ¡°Morning. It¡¯s like this. I have another list today, and I would like to trouble you to help me see what is written on it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu handed Yang Sheng the note that the long-faced soldier gave her in the morning.


    For such a trivial matter, Yang Sheng took the note, ¡°Lieutenant Zhou, three coins, boiled meat; Deputy Captain Pang, four coins, a chicken; Captain Fei¡­¡± There were eight items written on the note.


    After Yang Sheng finished reading, ¡°Do you remember? Otherwise, I¡¯ll read it to you again.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu doesn¡¯t need to remember at all, she can read. But she was still kind.


    Yang Sheng read it to her again, and she said that she remembered it, ¡°Thank you!¡± she said.


    ¡°You are too polite.¡± Yang Sheng said.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, suddenly remembered and said to him, ¡°If you two merchants go out these two days, you must be careful. I heard today that some villains seem to have been found in the Wuling Mine. Today they are going to search the mountain.


    It seems that even the market and even the village at the foot of the mountain have to be searched, no, I heard the news, so I hurried back to avoid trouble. ¡°


    After hearing this, Yang Sheng still had the same smile on his face, but his eyes were a little different.


    ¡°Understood, thank you, Miss Jiang, for reminding me.¡± He said.


    ¡°No. I¡¯ll make breakfast.¡± Jiang Yunzhu turned around with a smile and went into the kitchen.


    After the door was closed, Yang Sheng said to Shen Fengming, ¡°What should I do?¡± Sou Shan, that Wang Bin can really make a fuss.


    It¡¯s not that Wang Bin can make troubles, he is really afraid of Shen Fengming.


    ¡°The more he is like this, the less we can show up and let him mess up.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    ¡°I think so too.¡± Yang Sheng replied, ¡°Then what about us now?¡±


    ¡°Leave here first.¡± To avoid implicating the Jiang family.


    ¡°Leave here?¡± Yang Sheng frowned, he didn¡¯t want to leave at all.


    ¡°Fengming.¡± He looked at Shen Fengming, and there were many things he wanted to say to him.


    Shen Fengming looked at him, his eyes were still cold.


    Yang Sheng let out a breath, he didn¡¯t want to say anything, forget it, let¡¯s leave first, it¡¯s better to finish this matter quickly, and he can come back when the time comes.


    Jiang Yunzhu made two bowls of noodles for Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming today. The soup left over from the bone soup pot in the morning was kneaded just right, rolled into noodles, cut into strips of uniform thickness, and boiled in the soup pot.


    Add some fresh and tender green vegetables, sprinkle a little chopped green onion after the pan is out of the pan, and add a few drops of sesame oil, this bowl of noodles will have endless taste.


    Yang Sheng gulped down the noodles, the noodles were firm and the soup was mellow, he was really reluctant to leave.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t gobble up like him, but he didn¡¯t eat slowly either.


    At this time, Mrs. Chen also prepared the Jiang family¡¯s breakfast. The family sat around together. Although they ate coarse cakes and miscellaneous grains, when talking about how much money they made at the market today, the whole family smiled.


    After dinner, Mrs. Chen cleaned up the dishes, and Jiang Yunzhu was about to go to the town to buy vegetables. At this time, Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming came out of the side room, carrying bundles in their hands.


    ¡°Two merchants?¡± Mrs. Chen was surprised.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to other villages to see the situation, and wait for the guys to come, so that we can collect grain together.¡± Yang Sheng continued his lie about harvesting grain, which was quite reasonable.


    Mrs. Chen nodded, as it should be, ¡°Then are you coming back?¡±


    ¡°Come back, I paid a deposit for the food in the village, but it has not been confiscated. When everything is settled, I will naturally come back to collect it.¡± Yang Sheng said with a smile.


    Also, ¡°Then be careful on the way. If you have no place to stay when you come back, you can stay at my house.¡± Chen said politely.


    ¡°Okay.¡± That¡¯s what Yang Sheng thought.


    Chen was stunned, he was too out of touch.


    Jiang Yunzhu raised his eyebrows, come back, what are you doing when you come back, does he really want to collect a few carts of food and return to Beijing? Is Qilinwei so meticulous in his work?


    But she remembered one thing, and hurried back to the room, took out something and handed it to Yang Sheng, ¡°You are leaving now, I don¡¯t know if there will be a chance to see you again in the future, I¡¯d better return this money to you.¡±


    It was Yang Sheng who gave her the five taels of silver before. He said it was for food, but he paid a lot of money. The meals they lived and ate here were only about three hundred dollars. How could she ask them for five taels of silver.


    As for change, the Jiang family¡¯s entire net worth is not enough.


    ¡°There will be a chance to see you again, and then you can continue to cook for us.¡± Yang Sheng said without taking the money.


    ¡°Then you will give it to me then.¡± Jiang Yunzhu put the money directly into his hand.


    ¡°No¡­¡± Yang Sheng hesitated holding the money, why did she feel like she didn¡¯t want them to come back? His illusion!


    Also, ¡°I have eaten so much of your meal.¡±


    ¡°This young master also taught us how to read, so let¡¯s make it even.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    The two still wanted to quarrel, Chen said, ¡°Stop arguing, let¡¯s just leave it at that, if the two young masters come back later, we¡¯ll settle the money.¡±


    Coming back to this word, Yang Sheng loves to hear it, since that¡¯s the case, he will collect the money first.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s character can also be stubborn.


    Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming rode away, and Chen Shi stood there, heaving a sigh of relief. These two sons are too good, she is really afraid that Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s girl is ignorant, and she will fall in love with them.


    But Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t relax at all. She still had to think about how to lure the villagers to the county seat on the day of Lidong.


    Then she went to the town with Mrs. Chen to buy things for today.


    When they came back, a large group of soldiers entered the village to search. Jiang¡¯s family has a household registration in Wuling County, so they are not afraid of checking. The soldiers searched around, but found nothing, so they went to someone else¡¯s house.


    At noon, Jiang Yunzhu cooks and delivers meals as usual, but this account¡­


    In the afternoon, when it was time to learn characters, Jiang Lin sat there feeling a little regretful. Jiang Yunxue frowned. She liked learning characters the most, and Jiang Wu ran around cheerfully. He was very happy when he didn¡¯t need to learn characters.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the pens and papers on the table, thinking that when he had money, he still had to educate a few children. If you don¡¯t ask for their titles on the gold list, at least you can be sensible.


    As for the accounts, she was a little irritable. It¡¯s really impossible to do takeout without keeping accounts. But Shen Fengming only taught numbers and surnames in the first few chapters, she couldn¡¯t write at all. It¡¯s fine for her to remember it secretly, but how can she explain it to Mrs. Chen?


    To beg Gu Yanzhou? As long as he teaches her casually for a few days, she has reason to say that she has learned it.


    Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming have already left, and her contact with him should not affect anything.


    She just didn¡¯t know if he was busy studying now, she didn¡¯t want to delay his imperial examination.


    While she was thinking wildly, someone outside asked, ¡°Aunt Chen, Yunzhu, are you at home?¡±


    Jiang Yuzhu stood up and looked out, it was Xu Qingshan, and Gu Yanzhou was standing next to him.


    Sensing her gaze, Gu Yanzhou nodded towards her, as clean and fresh as the snow in March.


    ¡°Qingshan and Yanzhou are here, come in and sit down.¡± Mrs. Chen greeted them with a smile to enter the room.


    The two entered the house, Xu Qingshan looked into the yard, ¡°Where are the two merchants?¡± He asked.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, the business is very busy.¡± Chen said.


    Xu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, left? Gone so quickly, so easily? He thought they were going to lie to Jiang Yunzhu, but who would have thought¡­ Maybe he was wrong and wronged a good person!


    Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± Chen asked Xu Qingshan.


    Xu Qingshan remembered his reason for coming. Since Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming had left, he asked Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Do you still want to read? If you want to, you can let Yanzhou teach you.¡± In this way, Gu Yanzhou can get in touch with Jiang Yunzhu more Yes, maybe it will be a good thing.


    As for him, he has let go.


    Jiang Yunzhu was also hesitating whether to ask Gu Yanzhou or not, but, ¡°I¡¯m afraid it will delay your studies, and you will have a big exam next year.¡± She said to Gu Yanzhou.


    Gu Yanzhou smiled, ¡°Didn¡¯t I say yesterday that I learned something new by reviewing the past. Besides, I am very tired from studying all day long. I will teach you and I will just relax.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu thought about it. In fact, she didn¡¯t need to learn for a long time, she only needed to pretend for a few days. ¡°Really?¡± she asked.


    Gu Yanzhou nodded affirmatively. In fact, he has already learned everything he can learn. Now he is reviewing old books in college or at home and teaching a few people how to read, which is nothing at all.


    ¡°Then I will trouble you, I really don¡¯t know how to thank you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Gu Yanzhou coughed, ¡°Father and mother like your cooking very much, if it¡¯s convenient for you¡­¡± He didn¡¯t say that he bought it.


    Gu Yongde and his wife ate the meal at Jiang¡¯s house last time, it can be said that they never forget it, and they often mention it at home.


    Gu Yanzhou heard it in his ears and remembered it in his heart.


    Of course, he also loves the dishes made by Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, this is not a problem, the right to repay. In this way, she also felt at ease.


    Mrs. Chen couldn¡¯t react when she heard it, Xu Qingshan likes Yunzhu, what is he doing now, pushing Gu Yanzhou and Jiang Yunzhu together? Gu Yanzhou is indeed very good, but will the Gu family agree with him marrying Yunzhu?


    Things are moving too fast¡­


    Gu Yanzhou did what he said, and now that he is free, he began to teach Jiang Yunzhu and the others.


    It was still the same square table, but the people sitting there were different this time.


    Gu Yanzhou¡¯s voice is like spring water, and he is very patient when teaching people. If Shen Fengming is a strict teacher, he is unintentionally a good friend.


    On the mountain not far away, Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming didn¡¯t go far at all, they were condescending, and they happened to be able to see a small square table, Gu Yanzhou taught carefully, Jiang Yunzhu studied hard, the two of them looked like a bright moon, One is like a bright pearl, if you just look at it alone, it is like a beautiful picture scroll.


    Yang Sheng rode his horse around twice impatiently, really wanted to go back immediately, no matter what mine, what sixth prince, what order!


    But he couldn¡¯t deny that Gu Yanzhou was really outstanding. According to his previous thinking, it wouldn¡¯t be a pity if Jiang Yunzhu married him.


    Shen Fengming lowered his eyes slightly, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly, but the hand holding the rein slightly tightened and then let go.


    The next day, Jiang Yunzhu thought that she would get tired of eating meat pies for two days in a row, so she made small buns today. Originally, I wanted to make soup-filled steamed buns, but I didn¡¯t have a small steamer, and it would cost money to buy them, so I gave up.


    Improve it, change the soup to a slightly thicker soup, small, still quite small, each is only the size of a plum, steamed in a large pot at home, put it in a basket and cover it with a quilt, and it can be sold anywhere.


    The small buns are crystal clear, and through the outer skin, it seems that the delicious soup and fillings inside can be seen.


    ¡°Hey, the boss has such a clever hand.¡± A regular customer who saw the little bun was immediately attracted and praised. Such a small bun can still be made with so many pleats, which is amazing.


    This little bun, just by looking at it, you know it must be delicious.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled.


    The regular customer asked the price, and immediately ordered a few, biting down, splashing the soup, it was really delicious. It is even more delicious with spicy soup. Unable to bear it, he bought a few more.


    Today¡¯s buns are selling exceptionally well.


    When the long-faced soldiers arrived, they were also very surprised when they saw the little bun.


    Jiang Yunzhu directly brought some for him and asked him to taste them.


    He didn¡¯t need money to try it, so the long-faced soldier hurriedly said, ¡°How can you be so kind.¡± Yesterday, he had already eaten Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s bowl of boiled meat, and today he still eats her steamed stuffed bun?


    ¡°Just a few buns.¡± Jiang Yunzhu handed him the plate.


    The long-faced soldier tasted it, and his mouth was full of fragrance.


    ¡°This steamed stuffed bun, adults must like to eat it.¡± He admired.


    Today he also bought breakfast and ordered meals.


    Everything was done, today he didn¡¯t say anything about the news from the mountain, and left in a hurry.


    He directly bought more than half of the buns. The customer next to him was afraid that the buns would be sold out, so he hurriedly said, ¡°Give me five too.¡±


    ¡°I want four too.¡±


    As soon as everyone grabbed it, there were only a dozen buns left in an instant.


    At this time, a man squeezed in and said, ¡°Boss, I want the rest, wrap it up for me, and I¡¯ll take it away.¡± It looks different from others.


    It¡¯s probably like the kind of soldier who walks, sits and lies differently from ordinary people.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at him twice more, then wrapped the remaining buns and handed them to him.


    ¡°Two more bowls of soup.¡± The man said again.


    Soup is not easy to deal with, if it¡¯s that long-faced soldier, you can give him casserole, bowls, etc. to hold soup, but this person has a bad face, if you take things away and don¡¯t return them, it¡¯s not a loss.


    The man seemed to know what Jiang Yunzhu was thinking, so he took out a piece of silver and handed it to her, ¡°Let¡¯s put it with the boss first. By the way, boss, I heard that you can order lunch at noon?¡±


    This was the first person who wanted to order food besides the long-faced soldier, Jiang Yunzhu nodded, ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Then if I want to order, I can make a meal for two, and you can decide what to do. When it¡¯s ready, send it to me at noon, and I¡¯ll pick it up myself.¡± The man said.


    This request is also very strange, to send it to the market, not to the home?


    For the meal for two, Jiang Yunzhu already had a guess in his mind.


    ¡°Okay.¡± She agreed and took the money. There are about half a tael of silver.


    The man was holding the steamed stuffed bun and carrying the casserole. After a few turns, he disappeared into the crowd.


    At noon, Jiang Yunzhu prepared meals, and sent one to the mountain and the other to the market.


    The next day, the man came again, and today he still made steamed stuffed buns.


    He ordered another meal for lunch.


    So far, Jiang Yunzhu has two stable clients, the long-faced soldier and him.


    On the third day, the defenders on the mountain searched the mountain again, this time more carefully than last time. Anyone who did not have a local household registration was arrested, causing panic.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Fortunately, those two merchants left early, otherwise it wouldn¡¯t be troublesome.¡± Chen sighed.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t speak, did those two leave? uncertain.


    On the fourth day, Jiang Yunzhu bought beef and made raw beef porridge.


    As usual, she buys vegetables and cooks, but when she finishes learning Chinese characters in the afternoon and is about to make soup, she sees a large black cloud drifting from the east, looking like it is going to rain. It may also snow, and the beginning of winter will soon be approaching, and the weather will become colder and colder.


    Standing in the courtyard, Mrs. Chen was both happy and worried looking at the black clouds. She was really afraid of the drought. In the past few days when she came to Wuling County, except for the rain when she first came, it stopped raining afterward. I¡¯m afraid there will be a drought here, but now it¡¯s raining, so I¡¯m naturally happy.


    However, if it really rains or snows, will they still be able to open the stall tomorrow?


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we take a day off,¡± Jiang Yunzhu suggested. After working for so many days, it¡¯s time to take a vacation for myself. And it was getting closer and closer to Lidong, and she hadn¡¯t thought of a suitable way to lure the villagers into the city, so she was a little anxious.


    ¡°Rest?¡± Mrs. Chen struggled, ¡°Then what should we do with the things we bought?¡± But if you don¡¯t rest, if it¡¯s finished, it will rain heavily tomorrow and you won¡¯t be able to sell it, which will be even worse.


    ¡°It¡¯s cold now, so I can put it out for a day.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. Suddenly, she said again, ¡°It¡¯s better to sell fresh things. How about this, let¡¯s make soup with lamb bones, and stuff some sausages with pork. This season is just right.


    The sausage can be sold in the future, or you can keep it for yourself, which is convenient. ¡°


    As soon as Mrs. Chen heard that this method was good, the two immediately decided to stuff sausages.


    Both of them were nimble, and soon, strings of sausages were hung under the eaves, like a string of wind chimes, really beautiful.


    There will be no stall tomorrow, and you will be fine after making the sausages. Jiang Yunzhu moved a stool and sat at the door, looking at the black clouds in the sky and those sausages, his mind was full of thoughts.


    Suddenly, there was light rain in the sky, mixed with snowflakes.


    There was a vast expanse of whiteness in the distance, covering all the mountains, rivers and houses, and the world seemed to be more peaceful.


    Jiang Yunzhu was in a daze, at this moment, a person came in at the door suddenly, the person saw her, first recited ¡°Amitabha¡±, then lowered his head and asked, ¡°Almsgiver, can you let me take shelter from the wind and rain for a while?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at him, and saw that he was an old monk, in his sixties or seventies, his face was full of wrinkles, and the robes on his body were patched in several places. He looked very poor, but his face was kind and peaceful.


    Is there a temple near here? Jiang Yunzhu had never seen it before.


    At this time, Mrs. Chen heard a voice coming out from inside and asked, ¡°Where are you a monk?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s from the Tiannv Niangniang Temple in Xifeng Mountain.¡± The old monk replied.


    Mrs. Chen had never heard of it, and Jiang Yunzhu heard it even more strangely, Empress Tiannu?


    Seeing the old monk shivering from the cold, Mrs. Chen quickly let him in to shelter from the rain and poured him a cup of hot water.


    The old monk drank hot water and felt much better.


    At this time, Mr. Chen also came out.


    It was raining and snowing outside, and the old monk couldn¡¯t leave for a while, so he talked to Mr. Chen.


    Xifeng Mountain is more than ten miles west of Changshi Village, which is also a branch of Wuling Mountain, but there are no iron mines on the mountain.


    On the mountain there is a Temple of the Goddess of Heaven, who built it and when it was built is unknown. It is said that worshiping the Goddess of Heaven can ward off disasters and eliminate disasters.


    When the old monk came to the temple, the temple was not full of incense, but he managed to get by.


    Later, iron ore was discovered in the mountains here, and everyone went this way, and the other side became more and more depressed. Slowly, no one went to offer incense at all.


    There are no pilgrims, there is no source of income in the temple, and the food is good. The people in Wuling County are rich, and they can always get some food when they go outside for alms. The old monk had no choice but to walk around to see if any good people would contribute money to help repair the temple.


    This afternoon, he went to Wangzhuang Village, which was further away. When he came out, he saw that the weather was not right, so he wanted to go back quickly, but as soon as he got here, it started to rain.


    ¡°Thank you benefactor for letting me in to shelter from the rain.¡± The old monk clasped his hands together and said gratefully.


    ¡°No, no, it¡¯s a small matter.¡± Mr. Chen said.


    He didn¡¯t ask the old monk if he had spent money to build the temple. In fact, the family was also very difficult and unable to help.


    Seeing Jiang¡¯s family like this, the old monk also knew that their family was not rich, so he didn¡¯t continue this topic.


    The two talked about other things. The two old people always have a lot to say.


    Jiang Yunzhu was listening, but suddenly her heart moved. She thought of various ways to trick the villagers into going to the county seat, but they were not easy to implement. It just happened that a good one came.

 Chapter 28

    At this time on the mountain, Wang Bin¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. When he saw Zhu Liang coming in, he immediately asked, ¡°How is it?¡±


    Zhu Liang shook his head and arrested many people, but there was no sign of Qilinwei at all.


    Tentatively, he said, ¡°General, maybe you¡¯re overthinking, that person didn¡¯t come to Wuling Mine at all.¡± When he mentioned Shen Fengming, he didn¡¯t dare to call him by his name, but used that person instead, for fear of irritating Wang Bin .


    Wang Bin paused and asked, ¡°Is there any news from Zhaoping County?¡±


    ¡°The news that just arrived, all the traces over there have been wiped out, Qilin Guard can¡¯t find anything at all, the general can rest assured.¡±


    ¡°I asked, Shen, has that person gone to Zhaoping County!¡± Wang Bin said angrily.


    Zhu Liang was slightly startled, then shook his head, the man didn¡¯t show up in Zhaoping County.


    ¡°He must be in Wuling Mine.¡± Wang Bin stood up in a hurry, with an excited expression, ¡°He must be there, he must be here.¡±


    So more defenders searched around.


    At Shen Shi, the rain stopped, but the black clouds in the sky did not disperse. It seemed that it would rain soon.


    The old monk thanked the Jiang family again and left.


    As expected, the rain lasted until the next morning. Chen was lucky, fortunate that he didn¡¯t make Hu spicy soup yesterday, otherwise he couldn¡¯t sell it to the stall, and it wasn¡¯t all wasted.


    On the other hand, Jiang Yunzhu had a rare late sleep, lying on the bed, listening to the drizzle outside the window, rethinking the plan he had made yesterday, and getting up when he felt that there were no loopholes.


    At Sishi, the rain stopped, everything seemed to be washed, very fresh, she told Mrs. Chen that she wanted to go out for a walk.


    Chen didn¡¯t care.


    Jiang Yunzhu went out and looked to the west. Sure enough, there were two steep peaks there, one tall and one short. It, the **** is slightly gentler.


    There are mountains everywhere in Wuling County. I hadn¡¯t noticed these two before, and I didn¡¯t know that there was a temple on that mountain.


    Jiang Yunzhu walked over there.


    She now walks five or six miles to the town every day, and she has become proficient in walking. A distance of more than ten miles is nothing, and she has already reached the foot of the mountain.


    There is an official road here, but there are very few people, occasionally one or two are seen, and most of them are collecting firewood. There are mines on other mountains, and people are not allowed to go up the mountain. This Xifeng mountain is not guarded, so many people come here to collect firewood.


    Jiang Yunzhu followed a small road up the mountain, and just halfway there, he saw three people hurrying down from above.


    There are two old monks, one of whom is carrying a young monk on his back.


    That old monk was the one she saw yesterday.


    ¡°Yuan Xing, I¡¯ll take Yayoi to see a doctor in a while, and you can go to the town to see if you can spend some money so that he can get medicine for him.¡± The old monk Yuan Jue said.


    ¡°Brother, I understand.¡± Another person agreed.


    Jiang Yunzhu immediately understood what had happened, and looked behind the old monk. Sure enough, the young monk was only five or six years old, and his face was flushed red.


    ¡°Master.¡± She greeted the old monk.


    The old monk recognized her, but he didn¡¯t have time to talk to her at the moment, so he said, ¡°Miss?¡±


    ¡°Send him to see a doctor first.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Good.¡± The old monk said.


    The four of them went to the town together, and then the old monk named Yuan Xing left, probably for alms, and Jiang Yunzhu followed the old monk to Guangshantang.


    ¡°Ten money for a consultation.¡± The clerk of Guangshan Hall said.


    The old monk fumbled in his sleeve for a long time, only found out six coins, ¡°Benefactor, can you¡­¡±


    ¡°Our Guangshantang is not a shantang. If everyone was like you, wouldn¡¯t we starve to death? Who will see you at that time?¡± The guy had just been scolded by the shopkeeper in the morning, and he was in a bad mood, so he went cold speak.


    The old monk shivered, touching the young monk¡¯s forehead to test the temperature, while looking out, hoping that his junior brother would come back soon and collect enough money to see a doctor.


    ¡°I have it here.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. With that said, she took out four coins and put them on the case.


    The old monk looked at her, ¡°The benefactor.¡±


    ¡°Hurry up and see a doctor for him.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    The old monk nodded and handed the ten coins to the man.


    The man took the money and asked them to go to the next room.


    The old monk walked over there with the young monk on his back, and Jiang Yunzhu followed.


    ¡°I¡¯ve got a cold, and my condition is very serious. I need to take medicine quickly, so I don¡¯t catch a cold again.¡± The doctor said, brushing out a prescription.


    The old monk is going to pick up the prescription.


    ¡°Master, let me go, you take care of him.¡± Jiang Yunzhu knew that he had no money, and he couldn¡¯t get the medicine after taking the prescription, so he took the prescription and went outside to get the medicine.


    ¡°Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor.¡± The old monk really didn¡¯t expect that a girl he met by chance yesterday would be willing to help him like this.


    It is a big problem in any era to treat diseases and take medicine. Such a few packs of medicine cost Jiang Yunzhu two hundred Wen, which is almost worth what the Jiang family earned after a hard morning. But human life was at stake, and Jiang Yunzhu had to discuss the matter with the old monk, so he didn¡¯t take it to heart.


    At this time, the old monk was standing at the door with the young monk on his back.


    Jiang Yunzhu went over and signaled that he had finished grabbing the medicine.


    ¡°Thank you benefactor, otherwise the child¡¯s life may be lost.¡± The old monk thanked again.


    ¡°Master, you don¡¯t need to be too polite, let¡¯s go back and make medicine for him first.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    The two walked out, and when they reached the entrance of the town, they saw Yuan Xing was begging for alms. Some kind-hearted people thought he was an old monk, so they gave him a penny or two, but the medicine cost a lot of money. How could this be enough? .


    Yuan Xing was also so anxious that sweat broke out on his face.


    ¡°Junior Brother.¡± The old monk called him.


    ¡°Brother.¡± Yuan woke up.


    ¡°This female benefactor helped Yayoi pay for the consultation and medicine in advance.¡± The old monk explained that Jiang Yunzhu had paid in advance, meaning that when he had money in the future, he would still have to return it to Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Thank you, benefactor.¡± Yuan Xing clasped his hands together, expressing his gratitude to Jiang Yunzhu.


    The four of them hurried back again, and after a while, they arrived at the mountain, where the three of them were waiting anxiously, two old and one young.


    ¡°Go in first.¡± Before the three asked, the old monk said.


    After entering the temple, the old monk put the young monk down, someone took care of him, someone took the medicine to fry his back, and several people were busy.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked around.


    This is a two-entry temple, not too big. There are a few side halls in the front, and a goddess riding a white tiger is enshrined in the hall in the middle.


    It¡¯s a pity that after a long time, the paint on the statue is very mottled, which damages the demeanor of the goddess.


    This is the goddess of heaven, right? Jiang Yunzhu thought. She had never heard of this goddess. In ancient times, there were two goddesses with names similar to hers. One was the goddess Nuba, the daughter of the Yellow Emperor.


    There is also the Nine Heavens Xuannv, the Nine Heavens Empress, who has a human head and a bird body, and she is a Taoist.


    I don¡¯t know who it is today. There is no corresponding figure in Buddhism. It may be someone who the villagers built a temple to worship her in gratitude for her kindness.


    Behind the temple is the place where the monks live. This temple has not been repaired for an unknown period of time. Almost all the side halls in the front have collapsed, and there are also dilapidated houses in the back. It rained all night yesterday, and now there are almost There is no dry place, and the cold wind blows, blowing straight through the heart.


    No wonder the little monk suffered from the cold.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± The old monk came over and thanked Jiang Yunzhu again. Seeing her staring at the broken house, he sighed.


    There is no incense in the temple, and no newcomers come. The old ones will die when they die, but the two young ones? I don¡¯t know if there are any kind people who want to adopt them. It¡¯s just that they were abandoned in the first place, and they were all at an awkward age, so they might not be able to find someone else.


    Thinking of this, the old monk felt uncomfortable.


    At this moment, Jiang Yunzhu asked gently, ¡°Master, do you want this temple to flourish again?¡±


    The old monk couldn¡¯t believe his ears at all, what she was saying.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought the old monk was getting old, so he didn¡¯t hear clearly, so he asked again, ¡°Master, do you want this temple to flourish again?¡±


    Of course I want to, the old monk dreams about it, but how to prosper?


    ¡°Master, I have an idea.¡± Jiang Yunzhu told the old monk about his plan.


    The old monk was dumbfounded, is this okay?


    ¡°Master, if you don¡¯t try, how will you know?¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    The old monk is still hesitating, is this a lie? Will the Empress of Heaven be angry?


    ¡°The heavenly maiden has a spirit, and she will understand the master¡¯s painstaking efforts.¡±


    The old monk looked at the dilapidated house, and then looked at the people in the house, the old and the young, who might not even be able to survive this cold winter, he sighed, that¡¯s all, if there is hell, let him go there alone. Can.


    However, Jiang Yunzhu knew that this was not lying, but saving lives, so she didn¡¯t feel any psychological burden at all. She explained the plan to the old monk in detail, and gave him some money, and the two split up and got busy.


    Mrs. Chen found that something was wrong with Jiang Yunzhu recently, she had to run outside every day, and asked her what she was doing, she always had various reasons.


    Fortunately, she didn¡¯t go for a long time each time, so she didn¡¯t think much about it.


    Seeing that Lidong is coming, Lidong wants to eat dumplings.


    This custom originated from Zhang Zhongjing, when the dumplings were called jiaoer. As a great medical scientist, Zhang Zhongjing, after he resigned from office and returned to his hometown, found that the ears of the common people were frozen in winter, so he wrapped mutton and other things that dispelled cold and warmed up in skins, put them in water and boiled them, which is called dispelling cold. Jiaoer soup.


    Later, because the dumplings were shaped like ears, people passed them around, and there was a proverb ¡°If you don¡¯t serve dumpling bowls in Lidong, no one cares about your ears if they freeze¡±.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t deliberately promote her takeaway business, but in the past few days, apart from the long-faced soldiers and the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, she still has a lot of customers, and now the money she makes at noon every day is almost catching up with making breakfast.


    ¡°Yunzhu, otherwise, let¡¯s sell dumplings instead of stir-fry on Lidong¡¯s day!¡± Mrs. Chen said to Jiang Yunzhu while cleaning the kitchen.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Jiang Yunzhu thought about something in her heart, and responded casually.


    At this time, in a camp on the mountain not far away, the guard with thick eyebrows and big eyes had just returned from the market, handed it to Yang Sheng respectfully, and then dared to ask, ¡°Deputy Commander, what is in this food box?¡± What, so fragrant?¡±


    Yang Sheng is easy to talk, so the guard asked this question. If it were Shen Fengming, he would have wished to retreat as far as possible.


    ¡°What¡¯s in it, of course it¡¯s food.¡± Yang Sheng took the food box and said with a smile.


    The guard twitched the corner of his mouth. Of course he knew it was food, but what was it? Seeing that Yang Sheng was happy today, he asked again, ¡°Then can I buy one too?¡± Suddenly, he saw the brothers behind him winking at him, and he added, ¡°Or buy a few more copies, and give them too.¡± Eat some.¡±


    In the past few days, the guards of the Qilin Guard smelled the aroma of the vegetables and watched Yang Sheng eat deliciously, so they also wanted to go to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s to buy some soup, steamed stuffed buns or vegetables. Of course, this depends on Yang Sheng¡¯s opinion.


    ¡°You want to eat too?¡± Yang Sheng raised his eyebrows.


    The guard nodded quickly.


    ¡°So many people are going to buy it, I¡¯m afraid that others won¡¯t find us, right?¡± Yang Sheng snorted. And with so many people going to buy it, how busy Miss Jiang is, she has barely slept now.


    What good things are these **** thinking!


    The guards had a bitter look on their faces, thinking that they can¡¯t do it now, when this matter is over, they go to the stall to buy food, and the deputy commander will not be able to control them.


    Well, it should be soon, it¡¯s only been a few days, check the list again, and they should be able to arrest people.


    On the mountain, when Zhu Liang came in, he was startled by Wang Bin¡¯s appearance. He was haggard, red-eyed, sitting there with his long knife in his hand, as if he hadn¡¯t slept all night.


    ¡°General Wang.¡± Zhu Liang shouted anxiously, why did this happen.


    ¡°Is Jiang Lu back?¡± Wang Bin asked.


    ¡°Jiang Lu¡¯s mother was seriously ill yesterday, and she only went back for a day. How could she come back so soon?¡± Zhu Liang said.


    Wang Bin grinned, ¡°He won¡¯t come back.¡±


    Zhu Liang didn¡¯t understand. Suddenly, he asked in surprise, ¡°What does the general mean?¡± He ran away and was arrested, or?


    Wang Bin looked at him with a calm tone, ¡°Call all of us here. You should have heard of the famous name of Shen Buliu. Those who took the money will not even want to live.¡±


    Shen Buliu¡­ Zhu Liang broke out in a cold sweat.


    After a while, there were more than a dozen people in the room, all of them looked anxious. These days Wang Bin¡¯s turmoil made them very nervous, and they couldn¡¯t eat or sleep well.


    ¡°We are grasshoppers on the same rope. Today I want to hear everyone¡¯s thoughts.¡± Wang Bin glanced at everyone and said.


    Everyone reacted differently. Some people thought that Wang Bin made a fuss too much. They guarded the mine like an iron barrel. Even if the Qilin Guards came, they would not be able to find anything.


    Some people are terrified, after all, it is about their lives.


    Everyone was chattering, some said that they should write to the sixth prince and ask him what he thinks, some said that they should find a reason to close the mine for a while, and some suggested that they should find a scapegoat and wait for Qilin When Wei came, hand him over.


    As soon as he said this, everyone¡¯s expressions changed.


    Scapegoat, who should be the scapegoat.


    After discussing for a long time, there was no result.


    When the crowd dispersed, Wang Bin stroked the knife in his hand with a calm expression on his face.


    Zhu Liang felt that he was so scary, so he called him, ¡°General Wang.¡±


    ¡°I really regret it.¡± That¡¯s what Wang Bin said. He worked so **** the battlefield and finally became the commander of the first army. Who would have thought that a mistake would cause eternal hatred.


    ¡°General Wang, things haven¡¯t reached that point yet,¡± Zhu Liang persuaded.


    Wang Bin shook his head, there was no chance, he could feel that the knife was already on his neck.


    Zhu Liang didn¡¯t quite believe his feeling, thinking that he was scaring himself.


    But Wang Bin knew that there was really no chance. He had crawled out of the dead, and this premonition had saved his life several times, and now it told him he was going to die.


    Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, what awaits him is a thunderous blow!


    He might not even have a chance to struggle, and he would be crushed to death like an ant.


    He is not reconciled! Did not die on the battlefield, but died here.


    He clenched the long knife in his hand, stood up abruptly, overflowing with murderous aura.


    After all, it was learned on the battlefield.


    ¡°General Wang.¡± Zhu Liang stammered.


    ¡°I have an idea.¡± Wang Bin said.


    ¡°What?¡± Zhu Liang asked.


    ¡°Fight to the death.¡± Wang Bin said.


    Zhu Liang opened his eyes wide, he didn¡¯t quite understand what he meant.


    Wang Bin smiled, with the smell of blood in his mouth, he licked his lips, General, he should take the initiative to attack and wait for death, he would feel wronged even if he died.


    His eyes were bloodshot, and with his appearance, he looked like a madman.


    ¡°General Wang, what the hell¡­¡± Zhu Liang asked.


    Wang Bin¡¯s plan is very simple. He concluded that Shen Fengming and Qilinwei are in Wuling Mine, and the nearest to Wuling Mine is Changshi Village, maybe they are hiding there.


    They searched the surroundings several times, but they didn¡¯t find anything, which doesn¡¯t mean they didn¡¯t exist. Qilin Guard has this ability.


    Raid Changshi Village and pretend to be a bandit. If Qilinwei¡¯s people are there, just kill them all. When the person is dead, the sixth prince will have his own way to argue for him. Moreover, there are many people in the court who hate Shen Fengming.


    And even if Qilinwei¡¯s people are not in Changshi Village, and the people of Changshi Village are attacked by bandits, don¡¯t they just watch the people being killed and don¡¯t save them?


    As soon as they come out to save people, he kills them all.


    If those bandits still can¡¯t kill them, he will take the mine defenders to kill them himself, encircle and suppress the bandits, the person who killed the Qilin Guard, sorry, he killed them by mistake, and thought it was someone else¡¯s fake.


    Zhu Liang just stayed there after hearing this. This is really not a plan that ordinary people can come up with, but it is undeniable that it is indeed a good idea. It¡¯s just that those people in Changshi Village died a little unjustly.


    Moreover, the follow-up processing will be very troublesome. Shen Fengming, Qilinwei, those are not ordinary people, if they really die here, the imperial court will not let it go.


    ¡°You don¡¯t think there are no dead people on the battlefield, do you? The battlefield is the greatest victory at the least cost.¡± Wang Bin sneered.


    Of course Zhu Liang knew, but he still felt that he hadn¡¯t reached that point yet.


    Wang Bin felt that it had already arrived. Moreover, even if this plan fails, it can still force Shen Fengming out, which is better than him watching from the dark all the time.


    As for those people who died¡­he had seen a lot on the battlefield.


    To prepare manpower, this plan is set on the night of Lidong.


    The author has something to say:


    The origin of dumplings comes from Baidu, I understand and write

 Chapter 29

    On the day of Lidong, Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t care about thinking about new meals, so he made meat pancakes and sold them well.


    At noon, they are going to sell dumplings, there are two kinds of mutton and cabbage fillings and pork and cabbage fillings. The regular customers believe in her craftsmanship, and eating dumplings today is also in celebration of the festival. Many people have ordered dumplings.


    When Jiang Yunzhu returned to Changshi Village, it happened that Gu Yanzhou was coming from there.


    ¡°Ms. Jiang, I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t have time to teach you how to read today. The teacher asked me to meet him in the afternoon and told me to introduce some of his friends to me. I may not be able to come back until later.¡± Gu Yanzhou said.


    Jiang Yunzhu pursed her lips, her heart came to her mind. Gu Yanzhou was going to the county and would not come back until very late. Or, he didn¡¯t come back tonight. After all, the city gates in the county will be closed in the next hour. If he can¡¯t make it in time, he might stay at his teacher¡¯s house.


    So in the dream he escaped the catastrophe tonight.


    But I don¡¯t know if this is lucky or unfortunate for him.


    It seemed that everything was consistent with the dream. After Jiang Yunzhu was nervous, she slowly relaxed. This is good. She was afraid that because she changed her fate with Jiang Yunxiu, it would affect today¡¯s affairs. Now it seems that it will not.


    ¡°Miss Jiang?¡± Seeing Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s serious face, Gu Yanzhou explained apologetically, ¡°The teacher said it was some of his important friends, so I must go.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, you can just go, we are not in a hurry to learn characters.¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled.


    Gu Yanzhou also smiled, turned away and left.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at his back, thinking of Xu Qingshan, in his dream he also escaped the catastrophe at night, but he didn¡¯t know why.


    It was almost time to apply, Xu Qingshan finished pulling a guest to Mengjia Village, and wanted to hurry to the direction of the mine. It was almost time for the miners to get off work, and he had to go back and pull his feet.


    At this time, a person suddenly rushed out from a nearby house, ¡°Come on, help!¡± It was a man, who stood there yelling in a panic.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Xu Qingshan asked enthusiastically as he got off the donkey cart.


    The man grabbed his hand and said, ¡°My daughter-in-law, she couldn¡¯t give birth, she bleeds a lot. The midwife said her, said her¡­¡± The man burst into tears before he finished speaking.


    It¡¯s dystocia, ¡°Hurry up and send it to the town, no, send it to the county, there are good doctors in the county, maybe it can save your life.¡± Mengjia Village belongs to Changling Town, but it is on the edge of Changling Town, and there are all mountain roads. Send it to the town, it is better to send it directly to the county seat, although it is a bit farther, but the road is flat, and the mother is afraid that she will not be able to withstand the bumps, so Xu Qingshan said so.


    The man seemed to grasp at straws, and repeated, ¡°Go to the county seat, yes, go to the county seat.¡±


    But how to get to the county seat?


    ¡°I¡¯ll take you there.¡± Xu Qingshan said immediately. This will definitely delay his business, but he can¡¯t just ignore it.


    ¡°Thank you, thank you.¡± The man grabbed his hand and wanted to kneel down for him.


    Xu Qingshan quickly grabbed him, and together with him carefully carried the pregnant woman onto the donkey cart, and hurried to the county town.


    Jiang Yunzhu naturally didn¡¯t know what happened to him, she was only staring at the western sky at the moment.


    In Youshi, the miners got off work, today is Lidong, and the family eats dumplings. Thinking of the family sitting together eating dumplings, everyone had a smile on their faces, wishing they could fly back home immediately.


    It gets dark early in winter, and the surroundings are already dark at this time.


    The last batch of miners were about to leave, at this moment, someone suddenly pointed to the west and said, ¡°What is that?¡±


    Everyone looked in the direction the man was pointing at, only to see a fireball descending from mid-air and landing on a mountain peak.


    ¡°It¡¯s Xifeng Mountain.¡± Someone who knew said that the peak was Xifeng Mountain.


    Everyone was attracted by this vision.


    At this time, people outside Changshi Village also saw the fireball, and immediately shouted to the people inside, ¡°Come out and look, there is a fireball over there.¡±


    After hearing this, the people in the room put down their things and came out to watch.


    Nothing, no, another fireball landed from mid-air.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Fireballs fell from the sky, is this a catastrophe approaching? For those who are timid, immediately pray to God for blessing.


    The bold one also murmured in his heart, nothing will happen.


    Everyone gathered together unconsciously, discussing in low voices while looking west.


    ¡°Village chief, what¡¯s going on?¡± Someone quietly asked Gu Yongde.


    Where did Gu Yongde know, he just frowned and said nothing.


    ¡°Would you like to go and see, there seems to be a temple on Xifeng Mountain, and there are still people living in it.¡± Someone said again.


    Everyone, look at me, I look at you, go, or not?


    At this moment, three more big fireballs fell, and then in the bright light, a five-foot-tall red-clothed goddess suddenly appeared, fluttering as if she was stepping on auspicious clouds, towering like a vast expanse of stars.


    Everyone was stunned. Although the scene just appeared for a moment, it seemed real and unreal, but they did see it, Goddess, a manifestation!


    ¡°It¡¯s Empress Tiannu, everyone, hurry up and pay respects to Empress Tiannu!¡± A clear and clear child¡¯s voice came out, and after that, everyone ran towards Xifeng Mountain.


    Wang Bin in the mine naturally also saw this scene, and immediately frowned, but he didn¡¯t know whether it was a blessing or a curse.


    No, he suddenly remembered, the villagers are all going to Xifeng Mountain, what about his plan?


    Fearing that the Qilin Guard would find out, the people he selected had already gone down the mountain two days ago disguised as miners. At this time, they should be in Qinglongao, sixty miles away, and they will start when the time comes.


    what to do? Changed the plan, but after tonight, he didn¡¯t know if he would have another chance to fight again in the future.


    But if you don¡¯t change it, the bait is gone, how can you kill Qilinwei¡¯s people?


    He fell on the chair, God will kill him!


    Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming also saw the scene just now. Yang Sheng has been paying attention to Jiang Yunzhu these days, knowing that she goes to the Tiannv Niangniang Temple every day, and seems to help the temple regain incense.


    Seeing this vision at this time, he immediately guessed that it was Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s work, and clapped his hands immediately, ¡°Wonderful, I said she was so clever that she was able to do this, forget about the fireball, how did the goddess respond?¡± Something? I must ask her another day, and I will play with it too.¡±


    Surprise also flashed in Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes, and then he asked, ¡°Does anyone know that this vision is caused by her?¡±


    ¡°It should be just a few people from our Qilin Guard, what?¡± Yang Sheng asked.


    ¡°Tell those few people that no one is allowed to say a word about this matter to outsiders. You too.¡± Shen Fengming looked at Yang Sheng and said.


    ¡°Why¡­¡± Yang Sheng wanted to ask why, but suddenly understood Shen Fengming¡¯s worry, a tree is as beautiful as a forest, but the wind will destroy it. Moreover, doing so is more or less suspected of bewitching people¡¯s hearts, and it will be bad if someone with a heart catches him.


    Although, no one should pay attention to an ordinary person.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, none of our Qilin Guards will say a word.¡± After Yang Sheng finished speaking, he looked Shen Fengming up and down, with a teasing expression on his face. He was so considerate of others, wasn¡¯t he?


    Shen Fengming looked at him coldly.


    Yang Sheng coughed, what should he do?


    Qinglongao, sixty miles away, Zhu Liang took people to hide here. It is too far away from Xifeng Mountain, and this is a mountain depression, and the surrounding mountains block the view. Zhu Liang and others did not see the abnormality in the west.


    At Xushi, Zhu Liang gritted his teeth, got on his horse, and led his men straight to Changshi Village.


    There were five or six hundred of them, and they were all dressed as bandits, wearing all kinds of variegated clothes, with turbans wrapped around their faces, and holding big knives in their hands.


    There were so many people passing by on horseback, and there was a lot of noise. Some villagers in the middle heard the noise outside, opened the door to look out, and closed the door immediately in fright. Mother, bandits, so many bandits!


    Thirty miles away from Changshi Village, the secret whistle of the Qilin Guard spotted them and immediately blew a short and three long warning whistle.


    Not long after, Yang Sheng got the news, and hurried to tell Shen Fengming, ¡°A group of bandits, about five or six hundred people, are riding towards us with knives on horseback.¡±


    ¡°Bandits?¡± Shen Fengming¡¯s voice was hoarse. Is there such a well-equipped bandit in Wuling County?


    ¡°What should we do?¡± Yang Sheng asked, not in a hurry, the people in the main village had all gone to Xifeng Mountain, and they were the Qilin Guards left, not to mention the bandits, they wouldn¡¯t be afraid if there were twice as many.


    Shen Fengming walked forward quickly, stood on the hill and looked down.


    At this time, Zhu Liang and the others were only twenty miles away from here. According to their traveling route, it was easy to judge that they were heading for Changshi Village.


    His phoenix eyes immediately became extremely cold.


    ¡°Could it be that they are going to attack Changshi Village?¡± Yang Sheng stood beside him and asked in surprise. Changshi Village is just an ordinary village, is it worth it? Still¡­ He thought a lot, for example, if they really wanted to attack the people of Changshi Village, what would they do?


    Surely you can¡¯t just watch the villagers being killed, go down and save them, how much can you save?


    Protecting people is much more difficult than killing people, especially when protecting unarmed people.


    Moreover, this group of people came at a strange time. Do they have any backup? If so¡­Yang Sheng has experienced many lives and deaths, so he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little nervous at this moment. Fortunately, the people of Changshi Village have all gone to Xifeng Mountain, otherwise they would be absolutely passive tonight.


    What he could think of, Shen Fengming had already thought of it, and even thought of more.


    Shen Fengming took out a token from his waist and handed it to Yang Sheng, ¡°Go to Hushan camp and call the defenders there.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± Speaking of official business, Yang Sheng was Shen Fengming¡¯s subordinate, he immediately handed over his hand, took the token solemnly, got on his horse, and headed for the Hushan camp stationed in Luzhou.


    Shen Fengming looked into the distance, and pulled out a knife from his waist with a trembling hand.


    The knife was shining brightly and coldly, beeping slightly under the moonlight, as if it couldn¡¯t wait to kill and drink blood.


    At this time, Zhu Liang stopped, and the person sent by Wang Bin to deliver the letter arrived.


    ¡°There is a vision in the sky, and the people of Changshi Village have all gone to Xifeng Mountain?¡± Zhu Liang thought to himself, what a coincidence. He didn¡¯t suspect that someone was in the way, but immediately thought that God had opened his eyes, and it seemed that he couldn¡¯t bear to see innocent people being killed, so there was this vision.


    He didn¡¯t quite agree with tonight¡¯s actions, but now that something like this happened, he immediately thought of retreating.


    ¡°General Wang said, keep going. If you meet someone from Qilinwei, he will arrive after a while. If you don¡¯t meet him, leave as soon as possible.¡± This was Wang Bin¡¯s final decision.


    After hearing this, Zhu Liang cursed inwardly, those common people were originally bait and his umbrella, but now they are not here, if he met someone from Qilinwei, wouldn¡¯t he be delivering food?


    General Wang has come, what¡¯s the use of coming, he is now a bandit, no matter who he is, he can be killed.


    Is Wang Bin using him as bait?


    He doesn¡¯t do it. This is clearly not possible today.


    ¡°Go, go back.¡± He turned the horse¡¯s head and said.


    The sender was stunned for a moment, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to move on?¡±


    Ass fart forward, Zhu Liang ignored him and took him away.


    Changshi Village was quiet, but Xifeng Mountain was very lively at the moment. Everyone knelt down in front of the goddess statue and prayed sincerely, and then asked the old monk what happened to the goddess.


    The old monk also had a pious and surprised expression, saying that he didn¡¯t know why the goddess suddenly appeared.


    Everyone gathered together and chatted, and finally saw that the temple was too dilapidated, and discussed how to pay for the repair of the temple together, and the goddess might bless them.


    Too many people is chaos, this chaos, originally simple things are dragged on for a long time. It wasn¡¯t until the time of Haishi that everyone remembered, by the way, they haven¡¯t eaten dumplings yet, and they are very hungry today in Lidong.


    It¡¯s getting late, let¡¯s go back quickly.


    Everyone went down the mountain in twos and threes, talking and laughing.


    But the next day when they heard something, they couldn¡¯t laugh anymore.


    Last night, just last night, hundreds of bandits came towards them.


    Bandits, bandits who kill without batting an eyelid, Wuling County hasn¡¯t had any trouble with bandits in decades, but when it comes to the ferocity of bandits, everyone is still terrified.


    Fortunately, they went to Xifeng Mountain yesterday, otherwise those bandits would definitely not retreat easily, if they were caught by them¡­ I dare not think about it.


    Suddenly, they wondered whether the Heavenly Maiden knew there would be bandits, so she appeared to lead them there.


    The more I think about it, the more I feel so.


    If last night they worshiped Goddess Tiannu on a whim, at this moment they are full of gratitude and awe to Goddess Heaven.


    Praying to the Goddess of Heaven, it really can ward off disasters and eliminate disasters, illnesses and disasters.


    Yesterday, we discussed about repairing the temple, but after a long time of discussion, there was no result. Today, we must come up with a charter, and we must hurry, otherwise, how can we be worthy of the life-saving grace of the goddess of heaven.


    With this kind of mood, this matter will be easy to handle.


    Soon, the village heads of several nearby villages discussed who would pay how much and who would do what, and then went up the mountain together to talk to the old monk.


    After hearing what they said, the old monk realized that there were bandits last night. He was surprised and worried. The villagers thought that it was the goddess of heaven who rescued them, but he knew that he and Jiang Yunzhu made the fireball and the phantom, what about the bandits?


    He hastily negotiated with several village chiefs about repairing the temple, and he went to Changshi Village in person. First, he thanked Jiang Yunzhu and returned the medical fees and medicines she had paid to Yayoi in advance. The bandit thing last night.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked surprised, ¡°Could it be that the goddess of heaven really appeared?¡± She would definitely not admit that she knew in advance that the bandits were coming.


    When the old monk saw her like this, he suddenly realized, could it be that everything is really a manifestation of the goddess of heaven? She deliberately asked them to do that thing last night, so as to save the people from the fire?


    That¡¯s the only way it seems to make sense.


    The old monk put his palms together and chanted ¡°Amitabha¡±. He became more devout to the goddess of heaven and more grateful to Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Master, God knows all about this matter.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said to the old monk worriedly.


    ¡°I know.¡± The old monk replied. If this matter is told, although the result is good, the appearance of the heavenly lady is false, and it will still chill the hearts of the people.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the benefactor, apart from repairing the temple and worshiping the goddess, if there is any extra money, I will give it to the common people.¡± The old monk said.


    Jiang Yunzhu nodded, that¡¯s good, the apparitions are fake after all, and the more good deeds are done in the temple, the longer the incense in the temple can be.


    Sending off the old monk, I saw a large group of people coming up the official road from the north. It seems that they came to the Wuling Mine.


    Jiang Yunzhu turned around and closed the door, it seemed that everything was coming to an end.


    The author has something to say:


    The next day will be a clip, the update time for these three days is uncertain, and it will be updated every night at 6 o¡¯clock next Wednesday, thank you for your support

 Chapter 30

    Seeing the large army down the mountain, Wang Bin knew he was doomed.


    ¡°General Wang.¡± Zhu Liang¡¯s face turned pale with fright. Why are there so many troops? Could it be that Wang Bin really expected Shen Fengming to come and arrest them?


    Wang Bin looked at him, and suddenly swung his long knife, beheading him. If he hadn¡¯t been greedy for life and afraid of death last night, they still had a chance to fight. Like this kind of people who run away and delay the battle, they can¡¯t understand their hatred if they are killed.


    Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng led the people up the mountain road and happened to see this scene.


    Yang Cheng squinted his eyes, hey, he dared to kill someone in front of him.


    Wang Bin looked at Shen Fengming, and suddenly burst out laughing, he only regretted that he shouldn¡¯t have received the money, shouldn¡¯t have been bewitched by others, fame and fortune, success or failure, turning his head empty.


    It¡¯s too late to regret!


    Yang Sheng waved his hand, clicked on the list, and grabbed them all.


    In an instant, dozens of Qilin guards immediately started to arrest people, and in a short while, all around fell to their knees.


    Wang Bin looked at it, and there really were a lot of them, Qilin Wei is really a good method.


    He no longer held any illusions, closed his eyes, and started to kill.


    Wang Bin, Zhu Liang and more than a dozen people participated in this incident, and the rest, such as Deputy General Zhao and others, had no idea what happened. Why was the mine suddenly surrounded? Why were General Wang and the others arrested? .


    What should they do?


    They have no choice but to wait obediently to see how this matter will be dealt with in the end.


    Yang Sheng arrested the person and immediately began to interrogate him. After a while, he had a thick stack of confessions in his hands. He took a quick look at them. Taking these things back to the capital would inevitably lead to a bloodbath.


    He looked at Shen Fengming, is this really the case? The sixth prince is now at the height of his power in the court. Looking back at the prince, his health is getting worse and worse.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes already showed his attitude.


    Yang Sheng sighed, he began to miss Jiang Yunzhu, thinking about going back to Jiang¡¯s house for a while, have a good meal and sleep, well, it would be even better if there is another good show to watch.


    Thinking of a good show, he looked at Shen Fengming, the corners of his mouth raised, he couldn¡¯t wait any longer.


    At this moment, a man came running down the mountain. The man was obese, and he ran all the way up, panting from exhaustion.


    No one stopped him, because he was wearing the clothes of the emperor¡¯s servant, and he was here to pass the decree.


    ¡°Master Shen, the emperor¡¯s secret order.¡± Fu An said while bending his waist.


    ¡°What¡¯s the secret order?¡± Yang Sheng was surprised, the last secret order has just been completed, have there been so many things in court recently?


    ¡°This, the servant doesn¡¯t know either.¡± Fu An didn¡¯t dare to look into Shen Fengming or Yang Sheng¡¯s eyes, and just lowered his head and said. Then he handed a letter to Shen Fengming.


    Shen Fengming opened it and looked it over, and said to Yang Sheng, ¡°The emperor asked us to return to Beijing immediately.¡±


    ¡°Go back to Beijing immediately? Why is it so urgent, let¡¯s talk about the matter here¡­¡± The matter here has been resolved, but how did the emperor know?


    Of course Emperor Qinglong didn¡¯t know. As the sixth prince, he knew that Wang Bin would not be able to defeat Shen Fengming as a general, so he worked around the capital so that Emperor Qinglong could call Shen Fengming back.


    Now it really works.


    What he didn¡¯t know was that he was still one step too late.


    Fuan looked at the people kneeling on the ground, guessing that he was late, and complained in his heart.


    ¡°Elder-in-law seems very disappointed!¡± Yang Sheng walked up to Fu¡¯an and said with a smile while walking around him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t dare, dare not.¡± Fu An said, wiping the sweat off his brow.


    ¡°What¡¯s your father-in-law¡¯s name? It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen someone who is doing his best for the emperor. Look, he came all the way day and night. His clothes are dirty and he doesn¡¯t have time to change them. He doesn¡¯t look energetic.¡± Yang Sheng continued. .


    But Fu An didn¡¯t dare to take a breath. He took advantage of the Sixth Prince, so he rushed to deliver the decree. Why, did the people of Qilin Guard know about it?


    Thinking of Shen Fengming¡¯s name, he almost peed his pants in fright, wouldn¡¯t he be cut by a knife?


    He regretted it very much at this moment, and should not have accepted the money from the sixth prince.


    ¡°Elder-in-law, you haven¡¯t said what your name is?¡± Yang Sheng asked with a smile from the side, but Fu An only felt that it sounded like chasing souls.


    His body trembled unceasingly, as if he was about to fall to the ground at any moment.


    Seeing him like this, Yang Sheng felt a little more cold in his eyes. Like others, he also accepts bribes like others, but it¡¯s a pity that if you have a life, you need money, and you have to spend your life.


    Originally, such a small person didn¡¯t deserve his anger, but a small person can also affect a person¡¯s fate. Moreover, who asked him to bring the order to let him and Shen Fengming go back to Beijing, he hasn¡¯t stayed here enough, he doesn¡¯t want to go back to Beijing at all!


    It¡¯s Fu¡¯an¡¯s bad luck.


    ¡°Ask clearly.¡± Shen Fengming judged Fu¡¯an¡¯s fate with only these three words.


    Yang Sheng smiled, it seems that he also really wants to go back to Beijing. As soon as he waved his hand, the Qilin guards immediately dragged Fu An down for interrogation.


    Fu¡¯an was sent by the emperor to deliver the letter, but he was arrested. Only Qilinwei and Shen Fengming dared to do such a thing in Manchaoli, but Fu¡¯an didn¡¯t dare to say a word. He knew that the louder he shouted, the worse the end would be.


    This is just a small episode, ¡°What should we do now?¡± Yang Sheng asked Shen Fengming.


    Shen Fengming looked at the letter in his hand, ¡°It¡¯s over here, go back to Beijing.¡±


    ¡°Go back to Beijing, then¡­¡± He wanted to ask what would Miss Jiang do, but he didn¡¯t ask.


    At the end of the day, Mrs. Chen stood in the courtyard, looking towards the mine, with a worried face. She saw a lot of troops going to the mine before, so nothing will happen, right? Jiang Cheng is still in the mine.


    ¡°Mother, don¡¯t worry, it should be fine.¡± Jiang Yunzhu persuaded.


    Mrs. Chen nodded, and then asked Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Then let¡¯s start cooking the soup.¡± If we want to sell spicy soup the next morning, we should start cooking the bone soup now, and the bone soup needs to be boiled for a long time to taste good.


    Jiang Yunzhu shook her head, she didn¡¯t know what was going on tomorrow morning, and said, ¡°Mom, I have something to discuss with you.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Chen asked.


    ¡°From tomorrow onwards, let¡¯s stop selling breakfast and sell lunch and dinner instead. As you have seen before, you can make more money selling lunch than breakfast. If you add dinner, you will definitely earn more.


    Moreover, selling breakfast is really hard work. ¡°Jiang Yunzhu had planned this for a long time, but it was a catastrophe, and she never dared to let go.


    The weather is getting colder and colder. It is really hard work to sell breakfast and go to bed late and get up early.


    Mrs. Chen also wanted to sell dinner for a long time, but Jiang Yunzhu never let go, she didn¡¯t dare to mention it, and now she said so, of course she has no problem.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that this is a good business.¡± She said that the business of selling Hu spicy soup is also profitable. She thought, if only she had three heads and six arms, she would be able to do business in the morning, noon, and evening, so she would not be able to save enough donkey money quickly.


    Of course, she knew that she didn¡¯t have that ability, so she sighed.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t feel anything, selling breakfast was just a transition. Thinking about being able to sleep late every day from tomorrow, she thinks how her life will suddenly become better.


    That¡¯s it.


    At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and Mrs. Chen was startled. Who is it?


    She went to open the door, only to see Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng standing there.


    ¡°Have you returned from harvesting the grain?¡± Chen asked.


    The corner of Yang Sheng¡¯s mouth twitched, he almost forgot about it.


    ¡°En.¡± Shen Fengming was the first to answer this time, and then he looked at Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu really didn¡¯t expect that he and Yang Sheng would visit the door again. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled at him, thinking in his mind, what¡¯s the matter with him coming this time.


    Yang Cheng looked at Jiang Yunzhu, then at Shen Fengming, and said to Chen Shi, ¡°Auntie, which ones were selling grain last time, look at my memory, I forgot.¡±


    Then Mrs. Chen took him to find those who sold grain.


    Only Shen Fengming and Jiang Yunzhu were left in the courtyard.


    ¡°I¡¯m going back to Beijing.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    ¡°Bon voyage.¡± Jiang Yunzhu replied, her tone seemed a little cheerful.


    Shen Fengming: ¡­


    When Yang Sheng came back, he saw the two standing like that, and he was so angry that he touched his forehead, blinding his kindness.


    ¡°Miss Jiang.¡± He smiled, and said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°We are going back to Beijing, don¡¯t you really think about going with us? You don¡¯t have to worry about your family. If your uncle and aunt are willing, you can come to Beijing with us.


    We are relatively thin in Beijing, so we can help you gain a foothold in Beijing. ¡°He didn¡¯t dare to say his and Shen Fengming¡¯s identities, especially Shen Fengming¡¯s name, for fear of scaring Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Thank you, no need, you have a good journey.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said with a smile.


    Yang Sheng: He seems to feel a little disgust, is it his illusion?


    Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng finally left.


    On the official road, Yang Sheng looked back, the Cangshan small courtyard was so peaceful and beautiful, ¡°Shall we go like this?¡± He asked Shen Fengming.


    Shen Fengming looked forward, ¡°What else?¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have all kinds of means.¡± Yang Sheng hated that iron can¡¯t be made into steel, where did all his means go.


    Shen Fengming turned to look at him, ¡°She is very happy here.¡±


    Are you unhappy in the capital? Yang Sheng thinks that Jiang Yunzhu can live well wherever he goes?


    Forget it, go to the capital first, it¡¯s not like I won¡¯t come back. By the way, when he comes next time, he must ask her how she managed to make that goddess appear.


    ¡°Half for you.¡± Yang Cheng gave half of the things in his hand to Shen Fengming. It was the last rainy day, the sausage made by Jiang Yunzhu, after so many days of drying, it is now ready to eat. When parting, she gave the two of them Some make gifts.


    Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng led the people away, Wuling Mine seemed to have regained its calm, and it was slightly different from before.


    Jiang Yunzhu opened the door, ready to go to town. Starting today, she will do a good job in her takeaway business and make a big splash!


    Just go to the town to order a batch of special lunch boxes.

 Chapter 31

    In the town, the sun was already far to the west. Wang De squatted in front of the stall, looking at his plates and bowls reluctantly. He did all of these things one by one, with some points of pride and some points of dissatisfaction, but after today, these will all be put into some corner.


    Today was the last day he had agreed with Jiang Yunzhu. In fact, it didn¡¯t matter whether Jiang Yunzhu came or not. Even if she bought some bowls, it couldn¡¯t save his business. This is just an excuse for him to procrastinate, he just doesn¡¯t want to part with his craft.


    Now this excuse is about to disappear, he knows that he must have an explanation to his wife and family.


    Well, let¡¯s go to the mine tomorrow, he thought.


    At this moment, ¡°Boss, do you still remember me?¡± A crisp voice asked.


    Wang De looked up, it was Jiang Yunzhu, he remembered her, ¡°Girl, have you overcome the difficulties?¡± He asked pleasantly.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled.


    ¡°That girl¡­¡± Wang Degang made a decision. He will go to the mine tomorrow and help Jiang Yunzhu cook the bowl. It may take a few more days.


    ¡°Boss, how many lunch boxes of the kind I want can you burn in this kiln?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    What did she mean? Wang Dexin asked slightly, ¡°About a hundred or so.¡±


    ¡°Then I want to order a hundred lunch boxes of that kind, can the boss do it?¡±


    One hundred, that is, seven hundred Wen, if it is cheaper for her, this order can make a lot of money, which is more cost-effective than going to the mine.


    Wang De asked urgently, ¡°Do you want to order a hundred?¡±


    ¡°Well, let¡¯s look at the situation first, and there may be more in the future.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, there are thousands of soldiers and craftsmen in the mine, and it is estimated that a hundred is not enough.


    Wang De was overjoyed, ¡°Then it will be cheaper for you.¡± He offered to say.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t argue with him about the price. First, the price is not too expensive. Second, it¡¯s rare that the boss still remembers her and her affairs.


    One hundred lunch boxes, six hundred and fifty Wen. Hearing that Jiang Yunzhu needed it urgently, Wang De stopped setting up a stall, so he immediately packed up his things and went back to cook for her.


    Jiang Yunzhu went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. Since she decided to cook lunch and dinner for a long time, she should prepare some necessary vegetables. It¡¯s cold now, so I buy the next day¡¯s vegetables every afternoon, and they won¡¯t spoil, so I don¡¯t have to rush to the vegetable market every morning, and I can still buy the materials I need.


    The next morning, Jiang Yunzhu still set up a stall, but today she didn¡¯t sell food, and only boiled a large pot of tea on the stove.


    Wang Bin and others were arrested, but nothing serious happened. Many people in the mine didn¡¯t know what happened. They just saw that many soldiers came yesterday, and then they all left, and life went on as usual.


    However, ¡°Boss, are you not selling food anymore?¡± Someone came to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s stall to eat, and asked if there was any.


    ¡°We don¡¯t sell breakfast anymore, we sell lunch and dinner. For lunch, there are stewed pork rice, chicken rice, braised lion head rice, or there is a menu here. Customers can order whatever they want. When it is ready at noon, we will send it to you Go to the designated place.¡± Jiang Yunzhu introduced.


    After buying vegetables yesterday, she made a menu overnight, and made a menu based on the vegetables she bought every day.


    As for braised pork rice, it is the first batch of set meals. This one has only one dish, and it can be served in ordinary bowls.


    In fact, Jiang Yunzhu also thought about making rice bowls, but the rice bowls have to be divided into different types, which is too troublesome. It is not as good as the model of small stir-fry and set meals. The former is more profitable, and the latter can be sold directly, which is simple.


    Some people were disappointed to hear that, but some people were very interested in the lunch and asked about the price.


    ¡°A bowl of stewed pork rice costs 13 yuan, a bowl of chicken rice costs 11 yuan, and a bowl of braised lion head rice costs 12 yuan.¡±


    The miners looked sad when they heard the price. They only earned 20 Wen a day after hard work, and spent 3 Wen to buy a bowl of soup and steamed buns. They could still eat once in a while, but they were really reluctant to buy this meal.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s smile remained the same. Her main customers for this meal were not miners, but sergeants and craftsmen.


    Sure enough, some soldiers heard it and immediately decided to order a taste. Thirteen Wen, still acceptable. Mainly, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s soup, cakes, buns, etc. are all very delicious. I guess this meal is not bad.


    Moreover, Jiang Yunzhu had already gained a bit of reputation among the defenders for making small stir-fries before. Everyone knew that the food that Deputy General Zhao and others ate every day was very delicious, but many people didn¡¯t know that Jiang Yunzhu made it. Order one.


    ¡°I want a stewed pork rice.¡±


    ¡°I want a braised lion¡¯s head rice.¡±


    ¡°What kind of dishes are on this menu? I can¡¯t read.¡± A black and thin man asked. He is an iron smelting craftsman on the mountain. This is a skilled job and the monthly salary is very high.


    Jiang Lin stood by and immediately read the menu to him.


    Hearing that there are fried liver tips, he immediately said, ¡°Give me a portion, and I will have fried liver tips.¡± He has wanted to eat this dish for a long time, but there is no cafeteria on the mountain.


    ¡°Okay, one piece of liver tip, twenty Wen.¡± Jiang Yunzhu sat in front of a table. There were three things on the table. The leftmost one was a stack of paper notes that were **** wide and one hand long. Who ordered what meal? , she wrote the name of the dish and the number on the note, and then tore it from the middle, half for the person who ordered the meal, and the other half for herself.


    When the meal is delivered, the person who takes the meal will say his number, and then match the note in his hand with the note in her hand, and if they match, the meal can be taken away.


    The second thing is an account book. Those who deposit money with her should write down how much money was deposited by who on which day, what dishes were ordered on that day, how much was spent, and how much is left. It should be written clearly.


    The third piece is a small scale, which is specially used to weigh silver.


    With these three things, she is like a shopkeeper.


    As for learning characters, she was not so cautious in front of Gu Yanzhou. She only learned names, dish names, and numbers for a few days before using them. Even if Gu Yanzhou really asked, she would not be afraid.


    There are three-year-old child prodigies, so can¡¯t she be smarter?


    In a short while, more than a dozen people ordered meals, and they got 300 Wen soon. After removing the cost, they could also earn 100 Wen, which was half of the profit of selling breakfast. Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief beside him.


    She didn¡¯t sell food today, so she didn¡¯t need to come, but she was worried, so she followed. Now that the business is so good, she said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Then you are here, I will go back and make breakfast for you, what do you want to eat?¡±


    Today, the new business opened, and she decided to reward everyone with something delicious.


    ¡°Mother can do what she sees.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Mrs. Chen had an idea and went home to cook.


    Not long after she left, three people came over there, and they were the three deputy generals Zhao. They were also taken aback by what happened yesterday. Later, the troops came and left quickly, and it didn¡¯t matter to them at all.


    It was a little later that they heard what was going on.


    General Wang and Zhu Liang even privately withheld part of the iron ore and gave it to the sixth prince.


    Iron ore is a taboo.


    No wonder even the famous Qilin Guard came.


    Hearing this, they didn¡¯t dare to inquire any more, they only sighed for a while, and then came to a conclusion, don¡¯t do anything illegal, otherwise there will be no good results sooner or later.


    As for life, we still have to live. After a while, the court will send a new general, and it will be the same as before.


    Well, I still have to eat.


    A few days ago, Wang Bin tormented them three times a day, and they were tortured enough. Today they were fine, and they immediately decided to go down the mountain and come to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s stall for breakfast.


    ¡°Stop making breakfast?¡± Deputy General Zhao asked with a bull¡¯s eye.


    ¡°Yes, make lunch and dinner.¡± Jiang Yunzhu repeated what he said before.


    Deputy General Zhao was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, it was not bad, so that he could have a delicious meal at night. In the morning, something else is fine.


    They ordered a meal and went to other stalls to find food, but they found it was not as good as Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s meal, so they bought some and went up the mountain, waiting for the meal at noon.


    At this time, two more people came to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s stall, ¡°Guests.¡± Jiang Yunzhu looked up, but stood there in a daze.


    It was the big-eyed man who used to buy her food every day. She guessed that he was from Qilinwei. Why, Shen Fengming has already left, but the two of them are still here. Did she guess wrong before?


    She guessed right, Nie Xin and the two belonged to Qilinwei. They used to buy food for Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng every day. They should have left with Shen Fengming yesterday, but who made Yang Sheng lie about collecting food.


    Yang Sheng asked the two of them to stay and deal with this matter.


    The two wanted to help Yang Sheng lie, but they couldn¡¯t really collect so much grain back to Beijing, so they found a grain merchant and sold the grain to him directly.


    Such a lot of tossing took some time.


    Now that it¡¯s almost done, the two wanted to leave when they suddenly remembered that they had smelled the fragrance for so many days, but they hadn¡¯t tasted the food yet. It just so happened that they could go to that stall to eat before they left. This time, the deputy commander should not be able to control them, right?


    So here they are.


    Jiang Yunzhu still used the same rhetoric, today he does not sell breakfast, only lunch and dinner.


    The two looked at each other, what should we do? Otherwise, let¡¯s go after lunch. Hurry up on the road, and you should be in time.


    The two really stayed, and it can be seen that they are obsessed with this meal. In fact, it¡¯s not just the two of them, the rest of Qilinwei also want to eat, but unfortunately they don¡¯t have a chance.


    Thinking of this, the two felt that it was a good thing to be left behind. I just don¡¯t know if this meal is really so delicious, even the Commander eats it every day.


    Must be a rare delicacy.


    Well, after they finish eating, they have to go back to Beijing to show off to those brothers, no, describe it.

 Chapter 32

    When Jiang Yunzhu took the table back at Chenshi, Mrs. Chen had already prepared breakfast. Sure enough, today¡¯s breakfast was richer than usual, and there was even a bowl of scrambled eggs.


    Browned eggs are added with chopped green onion and salt, fried in hot oil, without any other seasoning, it is delicious enough.


    After breakfast, Jiang Yunzhu was arranging the orders while arranging the order of cooking in her mind, such as marinating the meat first, then making the meat stuffing for the lion¡¯s head, then making the chicken nuggets, then stewing the fish, and then¡­


    After reading the order, she had already arranged everything in her mind.


    ¡°It¡¯s five hundred and thirty-two coins in total.¡± Mrs. Chen counted the money over there, counted it twice, and finally counted the money correctly. Five hundred and thirty-two coins, they can earn more than two hundred coins, and this is only noon, if night is added, they can earn more than four hundred coins a day?


    Jiang Cheng worked hard for a month and only earned 600 wen.


    Chen feels that his mind is a little confused at the moment, is this true?


    If this is the case, it seems that it is not difficult for them to buy a donkey cart.


    Is it not difficult? Things I never dreamed of before.


    Seeing her holding the money jar and starting to count again, Jiang Yunzhu shook her head with a smile, she was just getting there. In the dream, she was in charge of so many shops and businesses in Anpinghou¡¯s Mansion, and she was not like her.


    Of course, she didn¡¯t want to be so tired.


    Her current goal is to open a restaurant, hire two chefs, and cook twice whenever she wants to cook, so that she can live a leisurely life, not seeking to be rich, but to be free and easy.


    Or have a little more fun, cook the most delicious dishes, drink the most beautiful wine¡­


    ¡°Yunzhu, otherwise you can count again to see if I made a mistake.¡± Mrs. Chen handed Jiang Yunzhu the pot containing money and asked her to count, interrupting her imagination.


    Jiang Yunzhu hugged the jar on her knees, reached in, and twirled in the copper coins, but she didn¡¯t count, she just wanted to hear the sound of the copper coins colliding. Well, if it were the sound of silver colliding, it would be clearer and more pleasant to hear.


    Chen Shi also laughed when he heard the voice.


    ¡°When we save enough money, shall we buy a donkey cart first?¡± Mrs. Chen asked Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    ¡°What if there is extra money?¡±


    ¡­


    At noon, Jiang Yunzhu cooked the meal, and went to deliver the meal with Jiang Lin and Chen, mainly because she had to remember who ordered the meal for the evening.


    At this time, she was very envious of the modern ordering software. If you order on the mobile phone here, the merchant on the other side will receive the order. Unlike her, you have to go there.


    ¡°Sister, I¡¯ll learn these characters right away. When I learn them, I¡¯ll memorize them, so you don¡¯t need to run away.¡± Jiang Lin said seriously.


    Jiang Yunzhu flicked his forehead with his fingers, he learned, it was still early, but Jiang Yunxue was pretty much the same. She found that Jiang Yunxue is very talented in literacy and writing, and she likes it herself. She learns it sooner or later, and she learns it naturally and quickly.


    There was nothing wrong with the meal delivery at noon, and everyone who ordered the meal got their own meal.


    There are a total of six canteens in the mine, which are distributed throughout the mine.


    The free food in the cafeteria really saves trouble and materials. Some of the large potatoes are thrown into the pot without peeling the skin, and there is no oil or water in the pot of cabbage.


    That dish is cooked, it can only be said that it is cooked and can be eaten, and there is no color and fragrance left.


    If you don¡¯t like food, it¡¯s just right, save it.


    This day, the cafeteria is a little different, bursts of fragrance go straight into people¡¯s noses.


    Everyone looked around, and saw greasy, trembling pieces of meat, evenly fat and thin, and next to them were fresh and tender vegetables, with half a sliced marinated egg on the side of the vegetables, and white rice underneath.


    For such a bowl, you can have meat or vegetables, mainly, why does the meat smell so good?


    ¡°Brother, did you call from the cafeteria?¡± Someone couldn¡¯t help asking the person who was eating.


    ¡°Canteen?¡± The diner snorted, how could the canteen make such delicious meals, ¡°Ordered from the mountain.¡±


    ¡°Can you still order food under the mountain? How much is it?¡±


    ¡°The stewed pork rice I ordered costs 13 cents a bowl.¡±


    It¡¯s not expensive, the person who asked the question swallowed, otherwise he would also order one?


    This scene happened in almost every cafeteria, and another group of people knew that there was a stall at the foot of the mountain where they could order food. The food was delicious and the price was reasonable.


    At this time, Nie Xin and his companions also got the meals they ordered in the morning. When the big bowl was opened, a gust of hot air came oncoming. After the hot air dissipated, I saw a large bowl of fish head tofu soup. The soup was milky white and fragrant.


    The other two bowls contain spicy diced chicken and a plate of stir-fried lotus root. The lotus root looks like white jade, and the diced chicken is full of burnt fragrance.


    The two picked up the chopsticks at the same time, one picked up a piece of fish, the other picked up a piece of tofu, and then they looked at each other.


    Fresh, this fish is made without any fishy smell, very delicious, smooth, this tofu is so smooth, and finally fragrant, the aroma of fish head and tofu are perfectly blended, one bite, endless aftertaste.


    The two had eaten it before, and guessed that this dish must be delicious, but they were still taken by this bowl of fish head tofu soup.


    No wonder the Commander and the Deputy Commander ate the dishes made by others every day. It turned out to be so delicious, and the thought came to both of them at the same time.


    After lunch, Jiang Yunzhu was about to take a nap when there was a knock on the door.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Mrs. Chen was choosing dishes for the evening in the yard, and when she heard the voice, she got up and went to open the door, asking.


    ¡°It¡¯s us who ordered the meal.¡± A male voice outside said.


    Mrs. Chen was slightly taken aback, come to order food at home? Or there is a problem with the meal they ordered at noon, so I came to them.


    Jiang Yunzhu also heard this in the house, so she got up and came to the courtyard to see what happened.


    Opening the door, she took a look and recognized the one with thick eyebrows and big eyes, she thought it was the one from Qilinwei. The one next to him should be his companion.


    Seeing Jiang Yunzhu, Nie Xin apologized, ¡°Did I bother you? Actually, I have something to trouble you. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s convenient for you.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    Nie Xin said, ¡°I ate the food you made at noon, and I thought it was very delicious. I¡¯m going to another place soon, and I want to ask if you sell the kind of food that can be taken on the road or eaten for a long time. Eat it, or bring some to my friends so they can taste your handicrafts too.¡±


    This was the solution that Nie Xin and his companions had discussed after eating the fish head tofu soup. They felt that when they returned to the capital, just by talking about it, their brothers might not know what they missed.


    Bring them something to eat too, and they¡¯ll know when they taste it.


    Of course, they can also eat it on the road.


    ¡°I can give you money.¡± Nie Xin took out a piece of silver as he spoke.


    Jiang Yunzhu was flickered by the light of the silver. It can be eaten on the road, and it can be eaten for a long time, and you still want to bring it to your friends? She thought of a few things, but she didn¡¯t know if there were any materials in the town.


    ¡°Girl, if you need help, just tell me, it¡¯s best to hurry up, we are in a hurry.¡± Nie Xin said again.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, just in time, she was also in a hurry, so she finished it for them earlier so that she could make takeaway at night.


    Two hours later, Nie Xin and the two left contentedly with the big and small cans.


    Jiang Yunzhu weighed the money in his hand and was also very happy. This is really a windfall.


    Luzhou is thirteen hundred miles away from the capital, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng¡¯s horses are on good terms, they left the people behind and returned to the capital in only four days.


    Along the way, the two went straight to the palace.


    Shen Fengming reported the findings to Emperor Qinglong, and Emperor Qinglong was furious, shaking the court.


    But this has nothing to do with Shen Fengming, he is only responsible for investigating cases, handling errands, and then truthfully reporting the findings to Emperor Qinglong.


    As for how to deal with it, that is Emperor Qinglong¡¯s business.


    Perhaps because of this, Emperor Qinglong trusted him so much.


    Coming out of the palace, Shen Fengming returned to the Shen residence.


    The Shen family, a great family that started at the end of the Han Dynasty, has survived through three dynasties and is the leader of the scholar-bureaucrats. The scholars of Shenyang University have a good knowledge of ancient and modern times, and have countless students and disciples. They are the leaders in today¡¯s literary world.


    Shen¡¯s family is from Tsinghua University, and the Shen University scholar was gentle and elegant when he was young, so when Princess Danyang married him, he was considered a well-matched family.


    After the two got married, they had only one son, which was Shen Fengming.


    He went out for more than a month, and now that he came back, the Shen residence suddenly became lively.


    Zhongtang, ¡°Father, mother.¡± Shen Fengming saluted Shen Dashi and Princess Danyang.


    Princess Danyang quickly stood up and supported him, ¡°Family, you don¡¯t need to be so polite. Have you suffered so much after going out for so long? Look at you¡­¡± She wanted to say that he had lost weight. Generally, when Shen Fengming went out to run errands, and slept outside, he would be more relaxed, and this became Princess Danyang¡¯s catchphrase.


    It¡¯s just that when she saw Shen Fengming today, how could she feel that he was more energetic than when he left, and his face was also very rosy, and she couldn¡¯t say that he was thinner.


    Master Shen looked at his only son, with a face like a crown of jade, and extraordinary talent and appearance, and he was also relieved, but, ¡°I heard that you killed many people again in Changfeng Mansion?¡±


    As soon as he said this, Princess Danyang turned cold.


    Shen Fengming took it for granted, and replied, ¡°Didn¡¯t my father always teach me that if the criminal law is clear, treacherous people will stop.¡±


    Master Shen frowned. He taught him this way, but he was afraid that the homicide would become more serious, and he would lose his heart in the end.


    He wanted to say something more, but Princess Danyang said to Shen Fengming, ¡°Look at your dusty body, I have someone prepare hot water for you, go and wash up.¡±


    ¡°Thank you mother.¡± Shen Fengming agreed and left the room.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t finished my sentence yet,¡± said the voice of Senior Madam Shen.


    ¡°You can only blame the child, and you taught it all. If it weren¡¯t for you, he would be¡­¡± Princess Danyang said.


    The two quarreled again.


    The servants in the mansion were not surprised by this, Shen Fengming listened to the quarrel behind him, looked up into the distance, and frowned slightly.

 Chapter 33

    In the evening, in the dining room of the Shen family, ¡°Master, madam, try this sausage, the young master brought it back for you.¡± Nanny Yu said with a smile.


    Shen Fengming had just entered the room and sat down when he heard the words and looked at the table. Among the countless delicacies, there was an elegant fine white porcelain plate, on which a plate of sausages was placed like flowers blooming.


    That, he felt, was the ones he had brought back and just somehow made it to the table.


    It turned out that he was going to take a bath and change clothes, and the servant who served him helped him pack his bags, and found these sausages. It¡¯s hard to imagine that such a young man, who is as handsome as gold and jade, has such a thing in his luggage.


    I also know that it must be brought to the master and wife.


    So he sent the sausage to the kitchen in a hurry, so as to surprise the master and madam.


    The Shen family is a big family, the cook in the house is really good at cooking, he has dozens of ways to make sausages, but he knows that this is brought back by the young master, he dare not make mistakes, just cut the sausages into thin slices with a knife, and then serve them When the pot was steamed, it was brought up.


    In this way, the original flavor of the sausage can be kept to the greatest extent.


    Each slice of steamed sausage is uniform in thickness, red and bright, and a special spicy smell almost covers the taste of other dishes on the table.


    Jiang Yunzhu made two kinds of sausages, one is original and the other is spicy. It just so happens that the chef cut the spicy one today.


    ¡°Sausage?¡± Princess Danyang laughed first, it was rare for Shen Fengming to miss her. It¡¯s just that when she looked at the sausage, and then at Shen Fengming¡¯s much ruddy face, she suddenly had a guess, did his behavior have something to do with the sausage maker?


    Which chef has such a skill? You must know that this child of hers has never paid much attention to the desire of tongue.


    Since the food is good, why don¡¯t you bring it back? It¡¯s not like the Fuzhong can¡¯t afford the money.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll try it.¡± Princess Danyang said.


    Nanny Yu had already picked up a piece of sausage and put it on the plate in front of her.


    Princess Danyang picked up the sausage and put it in her mouth. Spicy and delicious, I feel that everything from the tongue to the scalp becomes numb. Princess Danyang is stunned, it tastes so overbearing.


    Overbearing, but also people like it, not the kind of dry and spicy, but mouth-watering spicy, after the spicy taste, the mouth is full of fragrance.


    She has something on her mind these past few days, and she doesn¡¯t think about food and drink every day. After eating this sausage today, she feels that her heart is much smoother in an instant, and she feels that she can eat a bowl of rice.


    Someone also picked up a sausage for Grand Master Shen, Grand Master Shen didn¡¯t care at first, but after biting it, he felt goose bumps all over his body. this smell¡­


    ¡°You can recognize people by reading characters, and you can distinguish nature by seeing objects. The person who made this sausage should also be a sincere person.¡± He said.


    Princess Danyang snorted, but he has many pedantic reasons.


    Master Shen didn¡¯t want to argue with her, cooking is like writing an article, the same ingredients, even the cooking steps are the same, some people can make delicious dishes, but others can¡¯t, it all depends on one¡¯s heart.


    Shen Fengming lowered his eyes slightly, is he a sincere person?


    With this sausage today, the three of the Shen family obviously ate a lot more.


    After eating, Shen Fengming wanted to go back to his room, Princess Danyang said to the person next to him, ¡°Ranshu, you serve the young master.¡±


    A woman next to her immediately blushed, and replied softly, ¡°Yes.¡± The voice was like a warbler singing in March.


    Du Ranshu, magnificent and charming, Princess Danyang spent a lot of money to buy a new thin horse. Although she is a noble lady, she is very skilled. She hopes that this woman will serve Shen Fengming so that he can know the benefits of women.


    She has promised Du Ranshu that as long as she can serve Shen Fengming for one night, she will be kept as a concubine in the mansion.


    The Shen family is powerful, and Du Ranshu had long thought about it. Now that she saw Shen Fengming¡¯s tall and straight appearance under the light, her eyes were even more watery and her body was boneless. It made people want to hug her to the bed immediately and do whatever she wanted. .


    Grand Master Shen was about to leave, but when he saw this scene, he opened his mouth to teach him a lesson. Suddenly, he remembered that his son was already so old, but he never pretended to talk to women. There were already many rumors in Beijing, and he was very worried that he would kill too much and go astray.


    Forget it, out of sight, out of sight, he turned and left the room.


    Shen Fengming turned cold, ¡°Mother, I told you, you don¡¯t need to take care of this matter.¡±


    Princess Danyang was annoyed, how could she ignore it. If she has the ability to bring one back to her, she will leave him alone.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t want to talk to her, so he turned and left the room.


    Shen Fengming, the **** of death, has returned to Beijing. The news spread like a gust of wind across the entire capital. Some people decided not to go out from tomorrow. .


    Like the sixth prince, like the crown prince¡­


    The Shen family was like this, and the Yang family of the Great General of Zhen Guo, who was two streets away, was another scene.


    In the middle hall, Mrs. Yang was playing horseshoes with some beautiful girls, when suddenly someone came in and told, ¡°The eldest son is back.¡±


    When the girls heard this, their faces immediately beamed with joy.


    Mrs. Yang was also happy, but she said with a straight face, ¡°Come back when you come back. By the way, how many will you bring back this time?¡±


    As soon as she said this, the faces of the girls changed.


    Yang Sheng has a habit, when he goes out for a trip, he will always bring girls back, and the ones on the table were brought back by him before. They were either sold into brothels by their parents, or forced to marry old widowers. The circumstances were different, but they were basically rescued by Yang Sheng.


    The person who reported the letter also knew that his young master had the habit of pity and cherish jade, but this time he really didn¡¯t bring anyone back.


    ¡°No one?¡± Mrs. Yang was quite surprised, ¡°Then what did he bring back?¡±


    ¡°Bring, sausage?¡± The messenger replied uncertainly.


    In the evening, the Yang family also ate sausages.


    A seven or eight-year-old girl picked up a sausage with chopsticks, and immediately said to Yang Sheng, ¡°Brother, it¡¯s delicious.¡±


    ¡°My brother doesn¡¯t taste good, but the sausage tastes good.¡± A thirteen or fourteen year old boy next to him corrected the little girl, and at the same time hurriedly picked up another sausage with chopsticks and put it into the bowl.


    When the Yang family eats, their hands are fast, and their hands are slow.


    Mrs. Yang glared at the young man, respecting the old and loving the young?


    General Yang is guarding the border, and he is not at home now. There are only Mrs. Yang and three children at home, and they sit and eat together. As for the girls rescued by Yang Sheng, Yang Sheng didn¡¯t marry them, so they are not counted as Yang¡¯s family, they just live in Yang¡¯s family.


    The boy hurriedly picked up chopsticks for Mrs. Yang¡¯s sausage, and another chopstick for his younger sister, and then ate by himself.


    ¡°It¡¯s not bad.¡± Mrs. Yang smiled, and looked at Yang Sheng again, ¡°Not bad, and I still know how to miss my old lady.¡±


    Yang Sheng hurriedly said, ¡°Of course, I always remember my mother in my heart.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re thinking about me, so you just brought back some sausages? What are you going to do after this meal is over?¡± Mrs. Yang snorted.


    Yang Sheng immediately promised, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, mother, as long as mother wants to eat, I will get it for mother.¡±


    Mrs. Yang didn¡¯t agree with him, ¡°I wanted to run away again, people said that Shen Fengming was not close to women, what about you? There are many women in our house, but we don¡¯t even have a egg. You stay at home and marry her quickly. A decent daughter-in-law, let me hold my grandson.¡±


    Yang Sheng: ¡­


    ¡°You and Shen Fengming? Let me tell you, I don¡¯t agree, do you know if you don¡¯t agree? Let your father know and break your leg.¡± Mrs. Yang suddenly remembered something and said.


    Yang Sheng: ¡­


    The next day at Zhen Fu Division, Shen Fengming saw Yang Sheng slumped on a chair the moment Shen Fengming came in.


    Seeing him coming, he immediately regained his spirits and asked, ¡°When are we leaving Beijing?¡±

 Chapter 34

    Naturally, he couldn¡¯t leave Beijing so quickly, the emperor summoned Shen Fengming back because he had a difficult case to handle.


    After hearing this, Yang Sheng froze there.


    But soon, he asked again, ¡°Can we leave Beijing after finishing this case?¡± In fact, he didn¡¯t want to stay in Beijing anymore. The girls in the family are all nice, but getting together also gives him a headache.


    And his wife¡­


    Mainly, he finished eating those sausages in one meal yesterday, and he hasn¡¯t eaten a few bites yet. When will I eat those delicious meals again and live a happy life?


    ¡°Probably.¡± Shen Fengming replied uncertainly. It stands to reason that even if the case is over, they will not leave Beijing so soon.


    ¡°Then do it quickly!¡± Yang Sheng decided that he would be able to leave after finishing the case, so he immediately stood up and rubbed his hands.


    After a few days, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s takeaway business stabilized, and now he can earn more than five renminbi a day, which is really worth Jiang Cheng¡¯s monthly wages.


    Yesterday, she had already discussed with Jiang Cheng that he would raise the matter of resignation with the mine today, and then he could follow Xu Qingshan to familiarize himself with the road conditions in Wuling County, wait a few days, save some money, and buy it for him. Donkey cart, let him also pull the feet.


    Jiang Cheng was also like a dream, never expecting to have his own donkey cart so soon.


    The tall man looked at Jiang Yunzhu and didn¡¯t know what to say. Words of gratitude? They are all a family, but it doesn¡¯t have to be.


    In the end, he only said, let her rest early, and if there is anything in the future, he will come!


    Jiang Yunzhu nodded with a smile.


    Two days ago, Jiang Yunzhu began to try to get Jiang Yunxue to do the bookkeeping. Jiang Yunxue is really talented. These days, he can remember these words a lot. It doesn¡¯t matter if he doesn¡¯t remember them. It¡¯s food anyway. Jiang Yunzhu also knew what it was.


    Jiang Yunxue also likes to do this job, holding a pen and paper, like a scholar.


    Today, Jiang Yunxue went to the market alone to pick up orders for the first time. Chen was worried, so she dragged Jiang Lin to go with her.


    Jiang Yunzhu thinks it¡¯s nothing, there is a first time for everything, it doesn¡¯t matter if you make a mistake, just change it next time.


    She slept comfortably.


    Birds chirping outside the window, she turned over and got up. She doesn¡¯t need to go to the market, and the food for today¡¯s cooking was also prepared yesterday, which is rare for her to be free.


    She remembered that two days ago she had been wanting to eat something but had no chance to make it. Today she was fine, but it was okay.


    She got busy in the kitchen.


    Grind mung beans and millet into powder with a small mill, add white flour in proportion, and then add water to stir into a thick batter.


    Here, a small piece of noodles is livened with eggs, rolled into thin slices, fried in an oil pan until golden and crisp, and set aside.


    Then it is the last step, brush a little oil in the pan, spread the batter in a thin layer in the pan, and then beat an egg, when the egg is about to solidify, turn the whole dough over, brush with the sauce, and deep-fry until crispy Put the pancakes on top, sprinkle a little green onion and coriander, and then they can be stacked together and out of the pan.


    That¡¯s right, Jiang Yunzhu makes pancakes.


    Although there are many differences between the process and modern pancakes, for example, the pan she used is not a pan, and the crispy ones she made are not thin enough, but overall, this is still a pancake, which is enough to relieve her longing.


    Jiang Yunzhu handed the first pancake to Mr. Chen, the second to Jiang Wu, and the last to her.


    They have made a lot of money in the past few days, and the living standards of the Jiang family have been rising in a straight line. Although Mrs. Chen is still thinking about saving donkey money and preventing everyone from spending money indiscriminately, it is still okay to eat something.


    The pancakes just out of the pan, the skin is soft but not sticky, and there is a scent of eggs. It is really delicious when paired with crispy pancakes and sauces.


    ¡°It¡¯s delicious, but it¡¯s too much trouble.¡± Mr. Chen sighed while holding the pancake.


    Jiang Yunzhu has been busy all morning, just for these three pancakes?


    In his opinion, for breakfast, just eat some soup and pancakes.


    Jiang Wu was busy eating and had no time to talk.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, not only for the last bite, but also for the joyful process of making it. Just like modern times, many people still make Liangpi by themselves, which is troublesome and easy to fail, but they also enjoy it.


    If you cook well, you will feel more fulfilled.


    Besides, she just wanted to eat pancakes, and then she ate them. Isn¡¯t this a kind of happiness?


    ¡°It seems that you really like cooking.¡± That¡¯s all Mr. Chen could say.


    Like it? Biting the pancakes, Jiang Yunzhu remembered that when she was young, her mother asked her to help her and let her learn how to cook, but she refused at that time.


    She thought, why should she learn to cook and cook for others? Why didn¡¯t others learn it and make it for themselves.


    Later, when she grew up, she realized that it is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself, and she would be the safest.


    Just like now, she knows this craft, no matter where she goes, whenever she wants to eat, she can eat it, instead of just thinking about drooling.


    Jiang Yunzhu was happily eating pancakes. At this moment, Mrs. Chen walked in with an ugly expression, followed by Jiang Yunxue and Jiang Lin.


    ¡°Mother, eat pancakes, I¡¯ll make them for you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu put the last bite of pancakes in her mouth, stood up and said.


    How could Mrs. Chen be in the mood to eat pancakes at this time, even if she was given dragon liver and phoenix marrow, she would not be able to swallow it.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    Chen gritted her teeth, ¡°There are two more rice sellers in the market today. Just like us, they order rice, and they also sell stewed pork rice, chicken rice and braised lion head rice.¡± After a pause, she looked at Jiang Yunzhu Said, ¡°It¡¯s also sold cheaper than us.¡±


    After she finished speaking, she didn¡¯t know whether she was angry or panicked, but her hands trembled slightly.


    The Jiang family suddenly had such a lucrative business. Chen looked at it as if she was holding a gold ingot every day. Anyone who took a second look would feel like someone was going to **** her.


    Now suddenly there are two more people robbing her business, she is startled and angry, and a little bit at a loss.


    Jiang Yunzhu was not surprised, the takeaway was the first one to make it, and the second one would know it at a glance. What¡¯s more, braised pork rice is really very popular, and there are so many people in the mine, it is impossible for them to monopolize it.


    The only thing we can do is to ensure the quality of the dishes, and then keep introducing new ones.


    Thinking of this, she thought, it has been several days, should her special lunch box be ready?


    ¡°Yunzhu, what should we do?¡± Mrs. Chen asked. They sell it cheaply, and the number of people ordering food from them today is obviously 30% less.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go to town to have a look.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Do you need me to go with you? So I can help you.¡± Chen asked.


    ¡°Mom, you haven¡¯t eaten yet, you should eat first.¡±


    Chen couldn¡¯t eat it, but she was afraid of affecting Jiang Yunzhu, so she reluctantly said, ¡°Okay.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu went to the town to find Wang De.


    It¡¯s just that when we got to the place where Wang De set up a stall, there was no one there.


    Didn¡¯t he come to set up a stall today? Jiang Yunzhu was puzzled. Knowing Wang De¡¯s name, she hesitated whether to ask someone, and went to his house to find him.


    At this moment, Wang De came over from there, ¡°Girl, I was looking for you! I will burn the things you want for you.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Can I have a look?¡±


    ¡°Of course. You come with me.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu followed Wang De to a family in the west of the town. The three-room tile-roofed house and the vermilion mottled door and wall looked good alone, but the houses and walls on both sides seemed to have been newly renovated, which was obvious. A little taller than them, their house is sandwiched in the middle, which looks very cramped.


    Knowing his situation, Wang De smiled awkwardly and asked Jiang Yunzhu to invite him in.


    The door was opened, and a woman stepped out of the room. The woman was dressed in coarse cloth, and when she heard that Jiang Yunzhu was here to pick up the custom-made lunch boxes, she went in after a few words of hello.


    Although the Wang family made some money by making this batch of lunch boxes, she was delayed when she managed to persuade Wang De to go to the mine. It will take a lot of talking to persuade him next time, so the woman is not so enthusiastic about Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°She is like that, don¡¯t be as knowledgeable as her.¡± Wang De was afraid that Jiang Yunzhu would get angry, so he quickly explained.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t care, she just wanted to look at her lunch box.


    Wang De went to the backyard, took out a lunch box and handed it to her.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s eyes lit up, yes, this lunch box is made.


    ¡°The boss¡¯s craftsmanship is really good.¡± She boasted. This lunch box is better than she thought.


    Wang De smiled honestly. There is nothing more pleasing than that if the things he makes are liked by others.


    Immediately, Jiang Yunzhu paid the money, and then hired a donkey cart to take the lunch boxes home.


    When she went shopping in town again in the afternoon, she adjusted the menu.


    The next day, Jiang Yunzhu personally went to the market to set up a stall to receive orders.


    ¡°Boss, I want a braised pork rice.¡± A regular customer said.


    ¡°Sorry, we don¡¯t sell stewed pork rice today, we sell set meals.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said with a smile, and before the customer asked, she began to explain, ¡°The set meal is a set of rice, and you can choose a few dishes.¡± As she spoke, she He took out a white porcelain lunch box from under the table, opened it, and saw that there were two layers inside, the upper layer was divided into four compartments, and the lower one was not divided.


    Pointing to the lunch box, she explained, ¡°Put rice here, and vegetables on top. Today¡¯s dishes include boiled pork, braised pork, spicy chicken, and fried meatballs¡­¡± There are ten kinds of meat and vegetables in total.


    ¡°Ten kinds of optional, all vegetarian dishes, ten yuan a piece, one meat and three vegetables, twelve yuan a piece, two meat and two vegetables, fourteen yuan a piece, three meat and one vegetable, sixteen yuan a piece A portion, all meat dishes, 18 cents a piece.¡±


    Everyone felt novelty when they saw her take out the lunch box. The snow-white round lunch box had two pieces of trembling ruddy braised pork painted on the lid, and the soup dripped down. It was exactly the appearance of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s secret braised pork. Makes people drool just looking at it.


    Next to the braised pork is the word ¡°Jiang Ji¡±.


    Hearing about her method of ordering meals, everyone immediately became interested. They always eat stewed pork rice and chicken rice, and they are tired of eating it. Want to order small fried rice with Jiang Yunzhu? After all, small fried rice is expensive. Now you only need to order one rice, and you can eat four different dishes?


    They have heard that there is even boiled pork. Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s boiled pork is excellent, but they have never had a chance to try it.


    It¡¯s all right now.


    ¡°Boss, give me one. I want four meat dishes. I want boiled pork, burnt meatballs, fried liver tips, and sweet and sour pork.¡±


    ¡°Boss, I want too.¡±


    ¡°I also want.¡±


    Many people want to order at once.


    Jiang Yunzhu said again, ¡°There is one more thing to tell everyone in advance. If you order this set meal, you have to pay a deposit of seven Wenqian, which is the money for this lunch box. Don¡¯t worry, everyone, when you get the lunch box back at night or when, we will The deposit will be refunded to you immediately.¡±


    Need a deposit? But when everyone saw the snowy lunch box, they also understood that someone might not return such a beautiful lunch box after eating, so this girl is not at a loss.


    Thinking about it this way, everyone suddenly felt that this lunch box was really good, and it would be much more convenient for them to use it to bring meals in the future.


    ¡°Okay, here¡¯s the deposit, here¡¯s the meal fee, boss, the set meal I ordered just now¡­¡± Soon, everyone accepted the deposit and continued to order meals with Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu took the money and gave him two slips of paper, one was a deposit slip with a number on it, and the lunch box and the slip could be refunded when the time came, and the other was a slip of rice order with a number on it. Numbers, and four other numbers, which are the numbers of the dishes he ordered.


    This is Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s idea, to replace the dishes with numbers, and it will be easier to write when writing.


    ¡°I¡¯ll order one too.¡±


    ¡°Order me one too.¡±


    The ten dishes that Jiang Yunzhu chose today are the most frequent dishes in Xiaochao, which means that they are also everyone¡¯s favorite dishes. As soon as everyone heard the name of the dish, those who had heard that it was cheaper elsewhere and thought of ordering food elsewhere immediately chose to stay here and continued to order food with Jiang Yunzhu.


    For a while, there was a surge of people.


    In the end, even Deputy General Zhao and others chose to order a set meal. After all, ordering a set meal can eat four kinds of dishes at once, which is very novel.


    At Chenshi, Jiang Yunzhu closed the stall. Today¡¯s business is not so good.


    ¡°Yunzhu.¡± Chen looked at her and didn¡¯t know what to say. It was really Jiang Yunzhu who came out and there was no problem that couldn¡¯t be solved. The business that was not working yesterday will be even better today.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, cooking today is easier than yesterday, after all, you only need to cook ten kinds of dishes. Thinking about it this way, it is really suitable to make a set meal under this mine.


    Of course, the most important thing is to ensure the taste and quality. Also, when the lunch box is brought back, it must be washed and boiled in hot water before it can be used again to ensure the hygiene of the food.


    At noon, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s set meal won unanimous praise from everyone.


    In the evening, Jiang Yunzhu changed the menu, and more people ordered set meals.


    The dishes are changed every day to keep the freshness of the dishes, and her business is booming.


    But after two days, she found a problem, ¡°Mom, are we getting fewer and fewer lunch boxes?¡± It¡¯s almost not enough.


    ¡°I was about to tell you about this too.¡± Chen Shi said.


    ¡°Sister, I know about this.¡± Jiang Yunxue said stickily.


    ¡°What?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°They said that our lunch box is convenient for buying and bringing food. Many people directly gave me the deposit note, saying that they bought the lunch box.¡± Jiang Yunxue has been in charge of ordering and keeping accounts for the past two days, so she knows.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t expect it to be like this, and was a little dumbfounded for a while. Why, do you bring a lunch box with you when you buy rice?


    Seven cents a lunch box, she made a little money, but she doesn¡¯t sell lunch boxes!


    It seems that we have to go to town as soon as possible to order another batch of lunch boxes.


    Do what you want, Jiang Yunzhu immediately went to the town, did not find Wang De at the stall, so went to his house to look for him.


    At this moment in Wang De¡¯s house, Wang De was arguing with his daughter-in-law Cui, but it was not about going to the mine.


    It turns out that many people have asked him about that special lunch box in the past two days. When Cui heard about it, she immediately asked him to burn a batch for sale.


    Wang De thought it was Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s idea, how could he sell it easily.


    If he doesn¡¯t do it, Mrs. Cui is scolding him for being stupid. If he doesn¡¯t sell it, don¡¯t others? He just wanted her to suffer with him if he didn¡¯t make any money.


    Just then, someone knocked on the door.


    ¡°Go and open the door.¡± Cui said angrily.


    Wang De went to open the door, but saw Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Wang De was stunned, no matter what, someone came.


    ¡°I want to order another batch of lunch boxes.¡± Jiang Yunzhu explained his purpose.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Wang De agreed.


    At this time, Cui came out of the house in a hurry, ¡°Miss Jiang, come all the way, are you thirsty? Come in and drink some water.¡± She pulled Jiang Yunzhu, smiling like a sunflower.


    Her excessive enthusiasm is far from her first performance.


    Jiang Yunzhu pulled his arm out of her hand calmly, ¡°I¡¯m not thirsty, if you have anything to say, just say it.¡±


    Cui was a little embarrassed and gave Wang De a wink, which means, he said.


    Wang De pretended not to see it, and he was ashamed to say it.


    Cui gritted her teeth, it seemed that she was the only one to be the bad guy. She sighed first, and then said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Then let me tell you the truth, many people want to buy the lunch box you customized, and I asked him to burn a batch and sell it, but he refused.


    I know it¡¯s my fault¡­¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu understood that the lunch box actually has no technical content, as long as the porcelain is fired, you can know how to burn it at a glance, it¡¯s just the skill level.


    ¡°Then what are you going to do?¡± She threw the question to the other party.


    Choi was embarrassed to say.


    Wang De¡¯s face was flushed from holding back, and suddenly he said, ¡°If you agree, I can give you money, and then I¡¯ll cook lunch boxes for sale. If you don¡¯t agree, I won¡¯t cook!¡± After finishing speaking, he squatted there , and no matter how Cui kicked him, he didn¡¯t look up.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that he was really a good person, in this world where there was no copyright protection at all.


    In fact, she also knew that even if Wang De didn¡¯t burn it, someone else would.


    It happened that she was short of money to buy a donkey.


    Thinking of this, she smiled.


    After talking with Wang De for a while, they agreed that Wang De would give Jiang Yunzhu three taels of silver, and he could burn the lunch box and sell it. Of course, he couldn¡¯t burn Jiang Yunzhu with a pattern like this for others.


    Wang De was very happy, he was finally able to continue firing porcelain again. He immediately went to the house and brought out three taels of silver for Jiang Yunzhu.


    Cui Shi watched from the side, anxious and angry, how long would it take for three liang of silver to earn back? Just give it to someone else?


    Jiang Yunzhu got the money and decided to help Wang De more. Anyway, he doesn¡¯t occupy the lunch box market, and others will. It¡¯s better to let him occupy it.


    ¡°It¡¯s not just this kind of lunch box, you can also burn the one with three grids, two grids, or no grid. You can also cook square or long ones. By the way, you can also add A circle, used to put side dishes or something.


    If you burn lunch boxes into a series, customers can buy all kinds of lunch boxes. Even if someone burns lunch boxes to compete with you for business, they will not be able to grab yours.


    Also, you can tell the outside world that Jiang Ji only looks for your home and only cooks this kind of lunch box at your home. ¡°Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s last sentence carries a lot of weight.


    Now everyone wants to buy a lunch box because of the lunch box she used. She said that it is equivalent to authenticating Wang De¡¯s identity, so if everyone wants to buy a lunch box, of course they should go to Wang De.


    Just like celebrity endorsement and agency certification now.


    Wang De was taken aback when he heard that, even Mrs. Cui stayed there.


    After a while, Wang De said excitedly, ¡°Thank you, thank you, thank you very much!¡± He already had a premonition that no one else could take away this business. There are many miners in Wuling County, so many people must buy his lunch boxes.


    Maybe it can be sold to other counties.


    This business is sure to make money.


    At this time, Cui also felt that the three liang of silver was not wronged, and said to Jiang Yunzhu shyly, ¡°Thank you, Miss Jiang.¡± Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t need to say the following words, but she did, which shows her character.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, stay at my house for dinner tonight.¡± This time she sincerely invited Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu shook her head, she still has something to do.


    ¡°I really don¡¯t know how to thank you.¡± Wang De rubbed his hands together.


    ¡°We will have opportunities to cooperate in the future.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Wang De nodded his head heavily, and decided that he would do well for all Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s orders in the future.


    Jiang Yunzhu made an appointment with him on the delivery time of these lunch boxes, and then left. She didn¡¯t tell Wang De that there was also a seal like ¡°Jiang Ji¡± on the lunch box, because Wang De burned other porcelain with his seal on the bottom.


    It seems that the ancestors of the Wang family had indeed had a good time firing porcelain.


    I ordered another 100 lunch boxes, which originally cost 650 Wen, but I didn¡¯t expect to make money without spending any money. The point is, with this silver, you can buy a donkey.


    Jiang Yunzhu walked home with ease.


    Fusi, Jingcheng Town, Shen Fengming came back from the palace, when Yang Cheng heard the news, he immediately jumped out of the room with two panda eyes.


    ¡°This case is over, can we leave Beijing now!¡± He asked urgently. In the past few days, he has been running errands day and night, and he can be called the number one model worker official in Daxia.


    Shen Fengming looked at him quietly.


    Yang Sheng also looked at him.


    After a long while, Yang Sheng lost his energy as if he had been discouraged.


    One of them is the Qilin Guard Commander, and the other is the Deputy Commander. Does it mean that they left Beijing as soon as they left Beijing? At least report to the emperor, lest the emperor want to find them for business and can¡¯t find anyone.


    Tell the emperor, then there must be a reasonable and legitimate reason.


    The two entered the Zhen Fu Division in silence.


    Both of them didn¡¯t like to go home, so they ate at the Zhenfusi¡¯s cafeteria at noon. The steward of the cafeteria was afraid that when Shen Fengming came, everyone would not dare to eat, so they got a private room for the two of them in the cafeteria.


    Today, the two walked inside as usual.


    The canteen was very lively at first, and Nie Xin was telling his companions how delicious the fish head tofu made by the stall at the foot of the Wuling Mine was, but unfortunately they didn¡¯t have a good time and didn¡¯t eat it. Then, for proof, he also took out a few jars of stuff.


    ¡°Try it all, and you will know if we have lied to you.¡± He said.


    At this time, Shen Fengming and Yang Cheng came in from outside, everyone saw them from a distance, and immediately no one spoke, and the cafeteria was quiet.


    Shen Fengming and the two got used to it and continued to walk in.


    Just halfway there, Yang Sheng raised his nose, what is so fragrant?


    Turning his head, he saw a few jars of stuff on the table next to him. The smell was so fragrant, it seemed a little familiar.


    He looked at Nie Xin, squinted his eyes, hey, ¡°You came back from Luzhou?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m back, I¡¯m on business with the deputy commander.¡± Nie Xin hurriedly said.


    Yang Sheng looked at the cans of things.


    Nie Xin hurriedly said, ¡°Would you like to taste the things you brought back?¡± Then he handed a jar to Yang Sheng.


    Yang Sheng picked it up, didn¡¯t say anything and didn¡¯t leave, just looked at him like that.


    Nie Xin was stunned for a moment, feeling blessed, and picked up two jars and handed them to Yang Sheng.


    Only then did Yang Sheng laugh, and he followed Shen Fengming into the back room with the jar.


    After they left, everyone gathered in front of the remaining three jars. You took a spoon, and I couldn¡¯t wait to eat the contents of the jar.


    Cold-eating rabbit, crispy and chewy, spicy and delicious, Dengying beef shreds, thin and transparent beef shreds, spicy and crispy in one bite.


    There is also a jar of spicy beef sauce, which was originally eaten with rice, but was snatched up by everyone.


    After eating, they all looked at Nie Xin at the same time, is there anything else? Don¡¯t wait for everyone to search, take them all out!


    Nie Xin and the two shivered, really gone. Originally, they brought back quite a lot, but it turned out to be so delicious that the two of them almost finished eating on the way. These few cans were specially reserved for them, otherwise they would have eaten them up long ago.


    In the cafeteria, Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming ate until their lips were red. The three cans were originally spicy, but Jiang Yunzhu added more chili peppers in order to preserve them for two more days.


    After eating, Yang Sheng felt comfortable all over his body, and seemed to have strength again. He looked at the half-empty jar, patted the table and said to Shen Fengming, ¡°I don¡¯t believe it, such a big Luzhou can even let us do it. None of the cases.


    I asked them to send all the cases in Luzhou, and I looked at them one by one. ¡°


    Shen Fengming looked at him, but didn¡¯t speak.


    To not speak is to acquiesce, Yang Sheng smiled.


    The author has something to say:


    If there is no accident, it will be updated at 6 o¡¯clock every night, thank you everyone

 Chapter 35

    The next day, Jiang Yunzhu increased the deposit for the lunch box to ten coins. Otherwise, she¡¯s afraid that the people who will order food in the future will have no lunch boxes. Besides, she raised the price of the lunch box, and Wang De¡¯s side also sold it easily. She doesn¡¯t expect to make money from selling lunch boxes, so if she takes money from others, she should try to keep the benefits to others.


    At the same time, she changed the shape of the deposit slip again, so that those who had taken the lunch box before would return more money.


    The person who ordered the meal also knew that some people took Jiang Ji¡¯s lunch box and refused to return it. No one said anything about her behavior of raising the price. Anyway, it¡¯s just a deposit, and they don¡¯t really want their money.


    Jiang Cheng resigned from the mine yesterday, and originally wanted to go to Xu Qingshan to familiarize himself with the route today, but who knew that Jiang Yunzhu suddenly told him last night that he had all the money to buy the donkey?


    He was so surprised that he robbed her for her, no, he picked up the money.


    After asking why, he sighed.


    In the past, it was difficult to make a penny, but now it seems that making money suddenly becomes easy.


    It seems that everything started from leaving Changfeng Mansion to Wuling County.


    Sure enough, what Jiang Yunzhu had heard was right.


    After sighing, he became excited again, so he can buy a donkey today?


    In this day and age, it is almost as difficult for poor people to buy a donkey as it is for ordinary people today to buy a luxury car. No wonder he is so happy.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yunzhu agreed, and then took out a money bag and handed it to him.


    Now Jiang Yunzhu is in charge of the family¡¯s business, so all the money in the family is in her hands.


    Jiang Cheng took the money bag and opened it. There were two relatively large pieces of silver inside, one was the one given by Nie Xin, which was worth three taels, and the other was the one given by Wang De, which was originally worth three taels. Jiang Yunzhu ordered the lunch box After deducting the money, there are only two or two taels left.


    There are still some small pieces of silver and copper coins left, and the total is estimated to be seven or eight taels, more than enough to buy a donkey.


    Jiang Cheng held the money bag with trembling hands, he had never seen so much money before. At the beginning when he and Mrs. Chen went out of the house, when he had the most money, it was more than five taels. At that time, he vowed to give Mrs. Chen a home, so he found someone to build a new house.


    More than five taels, naturally not enough to build a house.


    He owed some money on credit to put the frame of the house in place, with no roof tiles, no windows around, let alone furniture. In this way, he and Mrs. Chen still lived in, and slowly finished the house, broke the furniture, and had Jiang Yunzhu and several children.


    ¡°Master, everything will be fine.¡± When Chen Shi saw so much money just now, her eyes were also red. She knew Jiang Cheng¡¯s feeling at this time, so she spoke out to comfort him.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Jiang Cheng nodded with a smile, he will get better.


    Jiang Cheng carefully put the silver in his pocket, touched it again and again, and then went out to the town.


    After more than an hour, he came back, but there was everything around him.


    Mrs. Chen was helping Jiang Yunzhu cut the meat, and from time to time, she would look at the door, imagining Jiang Cheng coming back with a donkey.


    What would the donkey be like? Is it black or gray? Are the ears long? Is the fur shiny?


    Seeing that Jiang Cheng came back by himself, she immediately asked anxiously, ¡°Why, didn¡¯t you buy a donkey?¡±


    It can be said that Jiang Cheng left with hope and returned with disappointment. He wanted to buy a donkey that could pull its feet, preferably a mature one, so that it could be used when it was bought, but such a donkey was rarely sold.


    All the donkeys sold in the market were young or old donkeys, and there was only one donkey that looked okay, and the asking price was too high.


    This money was earned by Jiang Yunzhu at the stove from dawn to dusk. Every time Jiang Cheng saw it, he felt very sad. He didn¡¯t want to waste money, so he didn¡¯t buy it.


    After hearing this, Mrs. Chen was also very disappointed. But there is no rush for this matter, you have to meet the right one.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the sky outside, but said, ¡°There is no fish market in the river, why not go to the county to have a look.¡± Then she said to Mrs. Chen, ¡°Mother, the weather is getting colder and colder, and we should add some bedding at home.¡± , and your and dad¡¯s clothes are too thin, why don¡¯t we go to the county together and buy more for the winter.¡±


    When the Jiang family came to Changshi Village, Mrs. Chen bought cloth and cotton once, but she only made quilts and thick clothes for Mr. Chen and Jiang Yunzhu and others, but she and Jiang Cheng were not willing to part with it.


    Also, Jiang Yunzhu and the others only had this kind of thicker clothes, and she had been thinking about when to buy them in a big way, and it just so happened that today was an opportunity.


    Mrs. Chen was a little moved when she heard that, the family has money, and she doesn¡¯t want to see the child lacking in food and clothing, but, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the county, maybe we won¡¯t be able to make dinner in time?¡±


    ¡°Then don¡¯t do it. Talk to those guests at noon, let¡¯s rest tonight, and continue to do it tomorrow.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Will the guest go to another house?¡± Chen was worried.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I only take a break once in a while, and people can understand, as long as it doesn¡¯t happen every now and then.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. After all, who can be okay.


    Chen was still a little scared, and felt that if he didn¡¯t do it at night, he would make a lot of less money.


    ¡°Money can never be earned, mother.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Yeah, it just happened to let Yun Zhu rest for a day.¡± Jiang Cheng said from the side.


    Hearing what he said, how could Mrs. Chen not agree.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled. In fact, she has never been the hardest one in the family. In the past, Jiang Cheng was busy with business with them in the morning and evening, and went to work in the mine during the day. He was the hardest.


    Later, she stopped making breakfast. Mrs. Chen would choose and cut all the vegetables and meat for Jiang Yunzhu. Jiang Lin and Jiang Yunxue would clean the plates and bowls and help her in the kitchen. She was only responsible for cooking and cooking. Some things they can¡¯t do, really counting, Chen is busy all day long, she is the hardest.


    So in fact, without Mrs. Chen and others, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s business would not be possible.


    The family is not so clear, and everyone can work together to be better.


    Jiang¡¯s family was going to visit the county town, and Jiang Wu was the happiest. He ran around this day, wishing he could help everyone finish what they were doing so that they could go to the county quickly.


    After delivering the meal at noon, the Jiang family, except Mr. Chen, got into the donkey cart and went to the county.


    Jiang Yunzhu also wanted Mr. Chen to go. Mr. Chen felt that his eyesight was bad, so it was useless to go. Besides, at his age, he had never seen anything. He preferred to stay at home and look after the house.


    Jiang Yunzhu respected his ideas and did not persuade him any more.


    Wuling County is rich and prosperous, and there are row upon row of shops in the county town, which is very lively.


    The Jiang family was all thinking about buying a donkey, so they held back and went straight to the Luoma Market in the west of the county seat.


    The mule and horse market in the county town is indeed not comparable to that in the town. For example, there are no less than dozens of horses here, and four or five in the town are good. There are countless mules, cows, and donkeys.


    Jiang Cheng looked left and right, almost getting confused.


    Mrs. Chen was also looking around. Compared with donkeys, those tall and strong horses were particularly outstanding, but it was a pity that they couldn¡¯t afford them.


    She suddenly thought of the two horses of Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming, they looked much better than the horses here, it was really hard to compare people with others, and to compare things with goods.


    The couple were fascinated by watching, so Jiang Yunzhu grabbed Jiang Wu and told Jiang Lin and Jiang Yunxue to follow her and not to run around. There are so many people in the market, if they are scattered, it will be bad.


    She has no interest in these horses and donkeys, she only plans to go shopping for a while and buy something.


    At this time, Jiang Cheng took a fancy to a donkey. Its black fur was smooth and smooth, and it opened its mouth to look at its teeth. It was two years old, and it was in the prime of life. Looking at the hooves and tail, there is no flaw at all.


    He was happy, and started chatting with the donkey seller.


    After talking for about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Cheng¡¯s face was serious. The donkey seller was an old man. He said his donkey was good, and he would not let go if he killed it.


    Jiang Cheng naturally knew that his donkey was good, but seven taels of silver was too expensive, and if he added some more, he could buy a mule. Mules are stronger than donkeys and can run.


    Mrs. Chen tugged La Jiangcheng¡¯s sleeve, otherwise she would look elsewhere, she also felt that the price was too expensive.


    Jiang Cheng looked at the donkey with nostalgia again, and walked forward.


    The couple continued to look at the donkey, when suddenly a female voice said, ¡°Sister-in-law Chen, is that you, sister-in-law Chen?¡±


    At first, Chen didn¡¯t think that someone called her, but when the person grabbed her sleeve, she turned around and asked in surprise, ¡°It¡¯s you?¡±


    Opposite stood a woman with soft eyebrows and a body like a spring willow, holding a child in her hand, about four or five years old, whose appearance was four or five points similar to her, who looked like a pink jade.


    It was the Liu family from the same village in Changfeng Mansion. At that time, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s family left the village in a hurry and happened to meet her coming out to fetch water, so Chen family kindly reminded her a few words. I really didn¡¯t expect to meet her here again today.


    Meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Liu were indescribably happy.


    ¡°How did you get here?¡± Mrs. Chen remembered that she borrowed food from everyone in the village but failed to borrow food. Only Mrs. Liu lent her food, and she was very enthusiastic about Mrs. Liu.


    Mrs. Liu is also grateful to Mrs. Chen for reminding her of her kindness, and knows everything about her. It turned out that after hearing Mrs. Chen¡¯s words that day, she also had the idea of leaving Changfeng Mansion.


    Her husband died, and she had no relatives here, so it seemed nothing to leave.


    just where to go? She didn¡¯t know, so she decided to go south first.


    She was much better than Jiang Yunzhu and the others. She had money, so she packed up her things, took her children, and hired a donkey cart to go to Luzhou.


    About twenty days ago, when she was passing through Wuling County, an old lady suddenly rushed out from the street and hit the car she was sitting in.


    She and the driver were terrified.


    The driver said it was none of his business, the old lady hit it herself.


    The old lady just screamed for pain.


    She got out of the car and was at a loss.


    Then a man stood up and asked them what happened.


    After they finished talking, the man directly called the doctor to treat the old lady. The old lady was fine, and the turmoil passed away.


    ¡°Who is that man? He¡¯s really a good man.¡± Mrs. Chen was amazed.


    Mrs. Liu was about to say something when a male voice asked, ¡°Who are these?¡±


    A man walked over leading a mule. He was wearing a lake blue robe, with fair skin and regular features. Not to mention very handsome, he was quite attractive.


    ¡°This is Mrs. Chen¡¯s family from my hometown. I told you about it.¡± Mrs. Liu immediately said to the man, and then introduced them to both parties.


    The man¡¯s name was Wei Kangping, who was the one who helped the Liu family to uphold justice that day. Seeing that the Liu family had nowhere to go, he asked her to live in an unused yard of his own, with or without rent.


    It turned out to be him, Mrs. Chen looked at Wei Kangping and then at Mrs. Liu who was standing very close to him, as if she had guessed something.


    It has been two years since Mrs. Liu lost her husband. If she is an orphan and widow, it would be nice if she can find a suitable person to take care of her.


    ¡°Sister-in-law Chen, how did you get here?¡± Sensing the look in Chen¡¯s eyes, Liu quickly changed the subject.


    Chen then told about their escape to Wuling County.


    Hearing that the Chen family came to the county today to buy donkeys, Liu was very surprised. She remembered that the Jiang family had a hard time, and they couldn¡¯t even eat enough. In the end, they had to sell their daughter to live. Got money to buy a donkey?


    But it was quite a coincidence, she looked at Wei Kangping.


    Wei Kangping rolled his eyes, and said to Jiang Cheng, ¡°Brother Jiang, I happen to have a mule for sale here, if you think it suits you, take it away.¡±


    Jiang Cheng had already seen the mule he was holding in his hand, the big maroon mule, not much worse than a horse. He hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s still not necessary.¡± He was afraid that he would not be able to afford it.


    ¡°You have helped Qiuniang before, the price is easy to negotiate,¡± Wei Kangping said.


    Qiuniang is Liu¡¯s name.


    Jiang Cheng wanted to decline, but Wei Kangping said directly, ¡°Nine taels of silver, if you think it¡¯s worth it, I¡¯ll sell it to you.¡±


    Nine taels of silver is really cheap. Jiang Cheng has eight taels of silver in his purse. Jiang Yunzhu has a lot of things to buy today, so she brought more than one tael, just enough to buy this mule.


    Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment.


    Seeing that Jiang Cheng wanted it, Liu looked at Wei Kangping again.


    Wei Kangping directly put the rein in Jiang Cheng¡¯s hand, and said with a smile, ¡°Then it¡¯s settled, and it won¡¯t save me from going around selling it.¡±


    ¡°How embarrassing.¡± Jiang Cheng wanted to return the reins to him.


    Wei Kangping didn¡¯t answer.


    The two chatted for a while, Wei Kangping was determined to sell the mule to Jiang Cheng, but in the end Jiang Cheng could only hold the reins in his hand.


    After paying, Jiang Cheng looked at Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu took out a tael of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng took out the money bag from his bosom, put the tael of silver in it, handed the money bag to Wei Kangping, and said embarrassingly, ¡°You count it. ¡°


    Wei Kangping weighed the wallet, ¡°What else is there, I believe in you.¡±


    Coming out of the mule and horse market, Mrs. Chen still couldn¡¯t believe it. It felt like a dream. He happened to meet Mrs. Liu here, and bought a big mule for only nine taels of silver.


    ¡°This mule is only two years old, and it is at the age of youth and strength.¡± Jiang Cheng couldn¡¯t help but excitedly said. While talking, he touched the mule¡¯s head with his hand, feeling that he couldn¡¯t touch it enough.


    ¡°I have to thank Qiu Niang.¡± Chen said, without her, they would not be able to buy such a cheap mule.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Jiang Cheng nodded, ¡°You come to the county some other day and bring her something more.¡±


    Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Liu have already made an appointment, and they will often walk around in the future, so Jiang Cheng said so.


    Mrs. Chen nodded, and suddenly smiled again, ¡°She met a good person this time.¡± She looked at that Wei Kangping, who seemed to have some family background, he was good-looking, and could save people from danger, so his character should not be wrong .


    Jiang Cheng nodded, he also thought Wei Kangping was a good person.


    Jiang Yunzhu pulled Jiang Wu from behind, and frowned slightly after hearing what they said. Why did she feel that Wei Kangping¡¯s eyes turned towards her intentionally or unintentionally just now? Is it her illusion, or¡­


    ¡°Yunzhu, are we still shopping?¡± Mrs. Chen turned around and asked Jiang Yunzhu, her words full of apology.


    After buying this mule, they didn¡¯t have much money left. She knew that Jiang Yunzhu wanted to buy a lot of things.


    Among other things, Jiang Yunzhu was also happy to be able to buy a mule so cheaply. As for things, buy some first, and buy the rest next time.


    The family wandered around the county town.


    The sun was in the west, and they were afraid that they would not be able to go home in time, so they immediately left the city and returned home.


    After arriving home, Mr. Chen was very happy when he heard that he bought a good mule for nine taels of silver.


    Jiang Cheng helped him to look at the mule.


    Mr. Chen stretched out his hand to touch the mule¡¯s head, and then patted it all the way down. The more he touched it, the happier he was. He praised, ¡°This is really a good mule.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Jiang Cheng couldn¡¯t help being overjoyed, busy getting food and drink for the mule, for fear that he would be thirsty and hungry.


    The Jiang family laughed a lot that night.


    It was already Xu time in Shen¡¯s residence in the capital, and Shen Fengming just came back from outside, his whole body was cold.


    ¡°Why did you come back so late today?¡± Princess Danyang said distressedly as she handed him a bowl of ginseng tea.


    Shen Fengming took the tea and drank a couple of sips, ¡°The Zhenfu Division has a lot of things to do.¡± He said.


    ¡°How about I talk to the emperor and ask him to change your errand.¡± Princess Danyang said, she didn¡¯t want Shen Fengming to be the commander, not to mention the danger, nothing good would be lost.


    ¡°Mother, I like this job.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Princess Danyang wanted to say something, but suddenly, she said, ¡°Okay, then I don¡¯t care. Have you eaten yet?¡±


    ¡°have eaten.¡±


    ¡°Then go back and wash up quickly, and rest early.¡± Princess Danyang said.


    Shen Fengming nodded.


    In the spacious bathroom, someone had prepared hot water for Shen Fengming.


    He didn¡¯t need others to serve him. After washing himself, he entered the bedroom.


    As soon as he walked in, he didn¡¯t feel right. In his own room, he knew exactly what it should smell like, but now in this room, there was a faint sweet smell.


    ¡°Who?¡± He frowned, his voice cold.


    On the couch, the brocade quilt squirmed, making a seductive arc. A beautiful and beautiful face was exposed from the brocade quilt, and a white snow shoulder could be seen faintly.


    This kind of invisible beauty is really attractive.


    Shen Fengming only felt hot all over. No, he held onto the table next to him with his hand, his body was not right.


    Suddenly, he remembered the cup of ginseng tea that Princess Danyang just handed him.


    As the commander of the Qilin Guard, Shen Fengming¡¯s caution is enough for him to avoid all dangers. But what about the tea his biological mother handed him?


    Shen Fengming tightly grasped the edge of the table with both hands, and the veins in his hands were bulging.


    ¡°Young master.¡± Knowing that the medicine had worked, Du Ranshu stood up and walked towards Shen Fengming.


    She was only wearing a tulle dress, while walking, every look, every movement was enough to drive any man crazy.


    Finally, she came to Shen Fengming.


    She reached out to touch Shen Fengming, her face flushed, who said that only women can make men fall in love, and an outstanding man can also make women¡¯s hearts sway.


    The next moment, she opened her eyes wide in horror.


    Shen Fengming pinched Du Ranshu¡¯s neck, like a **** glaring at a Buddha.


    ¡°Bang, bang¡±, Princess Danyang heard that there was something wrong in the room, so she quickly opened the door and went in to check. I saw Du Ranshu sitting on the ground beside him, looking embarrassed, and Shen Fengming standing there with blood dripping from his left hand.


    He was holding the corner of the table in his hand, and he actually broke off the corner of the table directly. The wooden thorn pierced his hand, causing blood to flow from him.


    Princess Danyang only saw Shen Fengming¡¯s bleeding hand, she immediately shouted, ¡°Quick, call the doctor.¡±


    ¡°No need.¡± Shen Fengming threw away the things in his hands, and staggered towards the bathroom next to him.


    ¡°Fengming, you¡­¡± Princess Danyang wanted to say something, but she was intimidated by Shen Fengming¡¯s glance back, she had never seen such a look from him.


    She stopped talking.


    ¡°What happened?¡± Shen Dashi heard the noise and came to check.


    He immediately noticed that something was wrong with Shen Fengming¡¯s appearance, and then looked at Du Ranshu, who was disheveled over there, he guessed a lot, and immediately said angrily to Princess Danyang, ¡°How could you do this, he¡­¡±


    He just said a word, but Princess Danyang cried and yelled at him as if she had found an outlet, ¡°Why did I do this? What right do you have to ask me? You talk about benevolence and morality all day long, and you taught your children to be like this, and now you still don¡¯t want to be so angry.¡± blame me.


    I ask you¡­¡±


    Princess Danyang quarreled with Master Shen again.


    Shen Fengming had already returned to the bathroom at this time, and jumped into the cold water, he slowly regained his sanity.


    Early the next morning, Yang Sheng took a case file and said to Shen Fengming, ¡°Look at the Luzhou case, or go¡­¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Yang Sheng was dumbfounded, he hasn¡¯t said what the case is yet, what did he promise?

 Chapter 36

    Shen Fengming first went to the palace to explain the reason to the emperor, and then returned to the Shen residence to bid farewell to his parents.


    Hearing that he was leaving again, Master Shen¡¯s face was ugly, and Princess Danyang¡¯s eyes were even redder. She could feel Shen Fengming¡¯s alienation from her today.


    She also regrets that she lost her head yesterday and did that kind of thing. But what can she do?


    In the past few years, in order to make Shen Fengming approach women, she has used countless tricks, but none of them worked. Instead, there was a lot of rift between mother and child. Seeing his personality becoming more and more ruthless, and the time to go home getting shorter and shorter, she didn¡¯t know how many times she shed tears secretly.


    He licks blood every day, and every time he goes out, she can¡¯t help but think, what if he can¡¯t come back?


    She only has him as a son, if he is gone, she¡­


    So she thought, if he can marry a wife and have children, have children, and someone he likes, will he not do that dangerous job again, and won¡¯t risk his life every time.


    Moreover, she really wanted to have descendants around her knees like others.


    Princess Danyang opened her mouth, wanting to tell Shen Fengming that she had sent Du Ranshu away, but she also knew that he would definitely not like to hear this.


    ¡°How is your hand?¡± She asked Shen Fengming with concern.


    ¡°No problem.¡± Shen Fengming replied.


    Princess Danyang didn¡¯t know what to say. Suddenly, she remembered that Shen Fengming was going to Luzhou again, ¡°If I see that sausage cook again, if I like it, I can bring him back.¡±


    She thought that in this way, Shen Fengming might go back to the house for dinner more often.


    Shen Fengming raised his eyes to look at Princess Danyang, his spring-like eyes were slightly rippling.


    Princess Danyang also suddenly remembered, and did not continue this topic.


    ¡°Pay attention to safety along the way, if you encounter something, you know it.¡± Shen Dashi only said so, but he believed that Shen Fengming could understand that if something happened to him, the Shen family would be his strong backing, and he would definitely do everything to protect him .


    Shen Fengming¡¯s face softened a bit, ¡°Yes, parents also take care of themselves.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re in the middle of the capital, there¡¯s nothing wrong with it. Come back early after finishing your business,¡± Shen Dashi said.


    ¡°Yes, come back soon.¡± Princess Danyang also hurriedly said.


    Shen Fengming left the Shen residence and went to the Zhen Fusi. It will take some time for him and Yang Sheng to come back after leaving, and there are many things to be arranged.


    At this time, Yang Sheng also came back from the Yang family. He didn¡¯t dare to say goodbye to Mrs. Yang face to face, fearing that he would be locked up in the mansion and would not be able to get out. Mrs. Yang can really do this kind of thing. He went home and quietly packed his bags, left a letter for Mrs. Yang and slipped out.


    He told Mrs. Yang that she didn¡¯t want to eat sausage every day, so he would buy it for her right away, so she shouldn¡¯t be angry.


    Yang Sheng was refreshed, Shen Fengming was as stern as a mountain, the two of them stood in front of the hall of the Zhenfu Division, and below stood the Qilin Guards, all in high spirits.


    Hearing that Shen Fengming said they were going to Luzhou, they immediately thought of the fish head tofu soup that Nie Xin said could lose their tongues, and the diced rabbit and shredded beef that only tasted a little bit, and their eyes immediately brightened. Can!


    Rabbits, what good things are you thinking about? Yang Sheng stood on the top and smiled. This time, we don¡¯t need so many people to go to Luzhou.


    He ordered the people who went to Luzhou with him.


    Those who were ordered were naturally full of joy, and those who were not ordered were wondering how much money they should prepare, and it would be good for those who were ordered to bring them back something to eat.


    As the sun rose, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng led a group of people to leave the capital on horseback. The dusty ancient roads and shadows of old trees.


    In a small courtyard in the south of Wuling County, Wei Kangping knocked on the door. When Liu heard that it was him, she quickly let him in and poured him a cup of hot tea.


    Wei Kangping took out a box from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Shi, ¡°Look, if you like it.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Liu¡¯s Nuonuo asked.


    ¡°You¡¯ll know when you open it.¡± Wei Kangping smiled.


    Mrs. Liu took it, opened it, and saw a brightly colored bead flower inside, ¡°This¡­¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve been dressed too plainly all day, and I¡¯m giving you this bead flower.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m a widow, and old¡­¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the widow, he left first, he was unlucky. You are only in your twenties this year, just right for you!¡± Wei Kangping immediately interrupted her.


    Tears flickered in Liu¡¯s eyes. For a long time, no one had said such things to her. For many years, she has not worn such colorful clothes and jewelry.


    In fact, not long after she was sold into Hongxinglou, she was redeemed by Lu Er and married as his wife.


    In Jinniu Village, she came from there because she was afraid of being rejected by others, saying that she was not serious. She never dared to wear too bright clothes or too beautiful jewelry. .


    But who knows, she likes these beautiful clothes and jewelry in her heart.


    ¡°I¡¯ll put it on for you.¡± Wei Kangping picked up the pearl flower and said.


    Liu¡¯s face was blushing.


    Wei Kangping stood up, walked behind her, stroked her hair with his hand, and put the bead flower on her.


    Liu¡¯s head drooped even lower.


    At this moment, Wei Kangping hugged her from behind, and kissed her neck like raindrops, even tending to go down.


    Liu Shi panicked, ¡°What are you doing, let me go.¡±


    ¡°Qiu Niang, I like you so much that I can¡¯t eat or sleep. You have to pity me and give it to me!¡± Wei Kangping hugged her tightly and even wanted to take off her clothes.


    Liu Shi grabbed her clothes tightly, ¡°Let go of me, or I¡¯ll call someone.¡±


    Viciousness flashed in Wei Kangping¡¯s eyes, even a married man would dare to take Joe with him. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that she was still somewhat pretty and had a lot of burdens, he would have kicked her aside long ago.


    ¡°Come here¡­¡± Liu Shi really called out.


    Wei Kangping reached out his hand to cover her mouth, and then used force. He concluded that even if he got her done today, as long as he begged her for mercy, she would definitely forgive him and commit herself to him.


    However, he thought of another beautiful figure, that person¡¯s snow-skinned appearance, like a pearl under the moon, was really too beautiful.


    Thinking of this, he let go of Liu Shi, and said anxiously, ¡°Qiu Niang, don¡¯t shout, I won¡¯t do anything, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Liu Shi took several steps back, stepped back to the wall, leaned her back against the wall, and took several breaths to stabilize her spirit.


    ¡°Qiu Niang, it was my fault, I couldn¡¯t hold back just now.¡± Wei Kangping was full of remorse, ¡°I have never liked someone so much before, thinking about it early and late, almost killed me.


    Suddenly you are so close to the person you like¡­ Qiuniang, you are so beautiful. ¡°He said while looking at Liu Shi¡¯s reaction.


    Sure enough, Liu¡¯s face was flushed, and his expression softened.


    Women, don¡¯t they just like to hear this kind of talk. Satisfied, Wei Kangping continued, ¡°Qiu Niang, don¡¯t worry, I will never touch you again without your consent.


    However, Qiu Niang, I really like you, so just marry me!


    As long as you let go, I will immediately ask the matchmaker to come ahead, and I will treat you well in the future, treating Yuan¡¯er like my own son. ¡°He said.


    Lu Yuan is Liu¡¯s son.


    Liu¡¯s face was red and her heart was beating, he really wanted to marry her? Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and said to Wei Kangping, ¡°There is one thing I have never told you.¡±


    ¡°what?¡±


    ¡°I, I¡¯ve stayed in that kind of place before.¡± Liu¡¯s head almost fell to the ground in shame. Tell others about such a terrible past.


    that kind of place? brothel! Wei Kangping¡¯s face suddenly became cold and hard. He thought she was just a widow, but he didn¡¯t expect it to be a broken shoe left over by countless people. Just like that, she still took Joe with him?


    Liu Shi lowered her head and did not see his reaction.


    Wei Kang calmed down for a while, and then said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I don¡¯t mind your past, I only like your people. As long as you get along well with me in the future, that¡¯s fine.¡±


    Liu raised her head in surprise, and seeing a sincere face, her eyes were red again.


    Wei Kangping didn¡¯t want to tell her these things anymore, he rolled his eyes and said, ¡°That family we met in Luoma City yesterday?¡±


    Mentioning this, Liu relaxed a lot, ¡°I told you, they are from the same village as me, and their family is good people.¡±


    ¡°I know they are good people, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t have sold them the mule so cheaply.¡± Wei Kangping specifically mentioned this matter.


    Sure enough, Liu Shi said, ¡°Thank you very much.¡±


    ¡°No, why are you still talking about this between us. Don¡¯t talk about a little money, I¡¯m willing to give you my life.¡±


    Liu shyly pulled the corner of her clothes with her hands.


    ¡°By the way, that girl was the one who followed Jiang Cheng that day.¡± Wei Kangping asked seemingly unintentionally.


    ¡°Her name is Yunzhu, Jiang Yunzhu, sister-in-law Chen¡¯s eldest daughter, she should be sixteen years old this year. Hey, she is also a hard-working person.¡± Liu sighed.


    ¡°How do you say that?¡± Wei Kangping asked.


    Mrs. Liu told about the fact that Jiang Yunzhu had a fever and almost lost her life, and later the Jiang family had no rice to cook and had to sell one of their daughters.


    Wei Kangping¡¯s eyes sparkled when he heard that, the Jiang family had another daughter, but he didn¡¯t know if that daughter was as beautiful as this one.


    You can buy such a beautiful girl for six taels of silver. It¡¯s a pity that he was not in Changfeng Mansion at the time, otherwise he would definitely buy it, play or sell it, and it would not be a loss.


    But it shouldn¡¯t be too late now.


    Thinking of Jiang Yunzhu bowing his head with a smile on his face, he couldn¡¯t wait any longer.


    ¡°Speaking of which, if it wasn¡¯t for their family, I wouldn¡¯t have met you. They should be our matchmakers. You don¡¯t know many people in this county, so you should walk around with them.¡± Wei Kangping said .


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Liu Shi also meant the same thing.


    ¡°When are you going to visit their house? Bring them some specialties from the county.¡± Wei Kangping asked.

 Chapter 37

    The next day, Jiang Yunzhu was still in the takeaway business. Sure enough, the number of people ordering food did not decrease today.


    This afternoon, she was about to take a break when someone knocked on the door outside.


    Mrs. Chen went to open the door, and said pleasantly, ¡°You¡¯re here!¡±


    It was Mrs. Liu who came with Lu Yuan, and Wei Kangping was next to him, carrying a lot of things in his hands.


    He carried the things for Mrs. Chen to the middle hall and put them down, and said with a smile, ¡°Song Ji¡¯s dim sum, Bao Fu Lou¡¯s roast chicken, and some tangerines from the south, I¡¯ll bring you some, and you can try it.¡±


    Chen was a little flattered, there were dim sum, roast chicken, and the citrus, which she saw last time in the county, was very expensive.


    ¡°How embarrassing, no, we can¡¯t have it.¡± She refused.


    ¡°Sister-in-law Chen, you can stay, I will thank you.¡± Liu said at this moment.


    Mrs. Chen thought she was talking about reminding her to leave Jinniu Village before, so she said, ¡°It¡¯s really not worth it.¡± She just said a few words, but didn¡¯t really help her.


    Of course Liu didn¡¯t mean that, she was thanking Chen for allowing her to meet Wei Kangping. However, this matter has not been finalized yet, and it is not easy for her to say it clearly, so Chen Shi must accept it.


    Chen had no choice but to accept the things and let them sit in the room.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Brother Jiang?¡± Mrs. Liu asked without seeing Jiang Cheng when she entered the room.


    ¡°He!¡± Mrs. Chen laughed, ¡°I won¡¯t be able to sleep because of the joy of getting that mule, and I¡¯m riding the mule to get familiar with the route.¡±


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Lin and the others also entered the house, and Mrs. Liu brought things. They were guests. As family members, they had to meet guests.


    The others were okay, Wei Kangping¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Yunzhu. He didn¡¯t even have time to take a closer look at her when he glanced at Luoma City that day, but today, he seemed to be more beautiful than that day.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that someone was looking at her, and looked over there, meeting Wei Kangping¡¯s gaze.


    Wei Kangping nodded slightly, quite like a son of a family. What he thought, in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s eyes, looked very greasy, the kind of self-feeling that was particularly good.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked away, thinking that maybe it wasn¡¯t her illusion that day, this Wei Kangping¡­


    ¡°Familiar with the route, what route are you familiar with?¡± Mrs. Liu asked following Mrs. Chen¡¯s words just now.


    Mrs. Chen told Jiang Cheng that he planned to make a living by pulling his feet in the future.


    Liu Shi listened and felt that this was a good job, but why later? The mules were all bought.


    I don¡¯t have money to buy a car, Mrs. Chen is embarrassed to say.


    Mrs. Liu guessed it, and immediately said, ¡°Sister-in-law Chen, if you are short of money, just tell me, I still have some.¡±


    She was orphaned and widowed, how could Mrs. Chen borrow her money, so she quickly said no.


    ¡°If you are short of silver, I have some here. Sister-in-law just use it. If you have any, you don¡¯t need to pay back.¡± Wei Kangping said, and even took out an ingot of ten taels of silver ingot and handed it to Mrs. Chen.


    This is ten taels of silver.


    Chen was taken aback, and quickly stepped back, ¡°No, no, really no.¡± She said repeatedly.


    She dodged and exposed Jiang Yunzhu who was sitting next to her.


    With a twist of his arm, Wei Kangping stuffed the silver into Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s hand, saying, ¡°Sister, hold it for your mother.¡±


    He called Mrs. Chen his sister-in-law and Jiang Yunzhu his sister.


    ¡°Don¡¯t dare.¡± Jiang Yunzhu deftly dodged his hand and said calmly.


    Wei Kangping¡¯s hand stopped there, a little embarrassed.


    ¡°Put it away quickly, you have helped us a lot.¡± Mrs. Chen hurriedly made a rescue, but she was kind.


    ¡°Okay. Then when you are short of money, just come to me.¡± Wei Kangping said.


    After this incident, everyone chatted and talked about all kinds of things in Jinniu Village, and they all sighed.


    In the middle, Mrs. Chen saw that Lu Yuan was very cute and cute, so she looked at Jiang Yunzhu, which means, is there anything to eat at home, and get some for the child.


    The Jiang family really didn¡¯t have any snacks, but Jiang Yunzhu remembered that there was still glutinous rice and lotus root made at noon, so he got up and went to the kitchen.


    She found glutinous rice lotus root in the jar, and thinking of Lu Yuan¡¯s age, she put the lotus root on the chopping board, and planned to cut the lotus root into small pieces before giving it to Lu Yuan, so that he would not eat it badly.


    ¡°Sister, what is this, so sweet?¡± Wei Kangping arrived in the kitchen at some point, and asked with a smile while looking into the jar.


    Jiang Yunzhu replied briefly, ¡°Glutinous rice lotus root.¡±


    ¡°Glutinous rice lotus root? What is that?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t want to talk to him anymore.


    Wei Kangping smiled, took out a box from his sleeve, opened it and handed it to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Sister, look at you, you are so beautiful, you don¡¯t even have a hairpin on your head, it¡¯s too clean.


    This is for you. ¡°


    In the box, a butterfly-shaped bead flower is shining brightly.


    If Jiang Yunzhu is a girl from an ordinary family, at the age of Ai Mei, she will definitely be tempted when she sees this beautiful pearl flower. Too bad she isn¡¯t. Not to mention the pearls and emeralds she wore in the Anping Hou Mansion in the dream, even in modern times, she has seen things a hundred times better than this pearl flower.


    ¡°No need.¡± Jiang Yunzhu put the chopped glutinous rice lotus root into a bowl, turned around and left the kitchen directly.


    The smile on Wei Kangping¡¯s face froze in place. In the past, his invincible tricks didn¡¯t work with Jiang Yunzhu!


    He looked at Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s back, with a hint of sternness creeping up on his face.


    In the room, Jiang Yunzhu handed the glutinous rice lotus root to Lu Yuan.


    Lu Yuan was very moved by the smell of glutinous rice lotus root, and he looked at Liu Shi.


    ¡°This is glutinous rice lotus root, made of Yunzhu, Yuan¡¯er try it.¡± Chen said with a smile.


    ¡°Your sister Yunzhu gave it to you, eat it quickly.¡± Liu said to Lu Yuan with a smile, ¡°By the way, what else do you want?¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Sister Yunzhu.¡± Lu Yuan took the bowl containing glutinous rice and lotus root, and said to Jiang Yunzhu with his small face up.


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome!¡± Jiang Yunzhu patted his head, feeling heavy in her heart, this Wei Kangping is not a good man, Liu and this child¡­


    At this time, Wei Kangping also entered the room. He didn¡¯t sit in many places in the room, but sat next to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t look at him, but was wary of him.


    Suddenly, she saw his arm bumping towards hers, and he seemed to be talking to Mr. Chen, but he was actually looking at her from the corner of his eyes.


    Jiang Yunzhu was very sure that he did it on purpose, that he wanted to touch her arm on purpose.


    He also bullied Mr. Chen because his eyesight is bad!


    Jiang Yunzhu just felt disgusted, and immediately retracted her arms and said, ¡°What are you going to do!¡±


    As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the room, and everyone looked at Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°He wanted to touch my arm.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said directly.


    In this day and age, everyone values a woman¡¯s chastity very much, especially when Jiang Yunzhu is not yet married, a man like Wei Kangping wants to touch her arm?


    Chen immediately stood up and looked at Wei Kangping with an ugly expression.


    Mr. Chen also clenched the crutch in his hand.


    Liu Shi also stood up in panic, looked at Wei Kangping, then at Jiang Yunzhu, at a loss.


    Wei Kangping was stared at by everyone, embarrassed and angry at the same time. He really wanted to touch Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s arm with his arm. From his point of view, even if he did touch Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s arm, Jiang Yunzhu would feel it. As an unmarried girl, she could only accept it and dare not say anything.


    Maybe there will be that shy and timid look.


    He likes to see girls show this expression the most.


    Unexpectedly, Jiang Yunzhu dodged and questioned directly.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t want to touch you.¡± Wei Kangping could only kill this point, and then explained, ¡°I just want to tidy up my skirt.¡± He pointed to his own skirt.


    After all, there was no proof, Wei Kangping and Liu Shi left in embarrassment, Chen threw all the things they brought into their arms, and closed the door without saying goodbye.


    Liu Shi stood there for a long time before walking back with a cold face.


    Wei Kangping cast a bitter look at the gate of the Jiang family, and hurried to catch up, ¡°Qiu Niang, I promise, I never want to touch her. You know, I like you.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a girl who is slandering you with this kind of thing?¡± Liu Shi didn¡¯t believe it.


    ¡°Maybe she really misunderstood. Besides, what do you think she¡¯s been staring at me for?¡±


    Liu Shi still ignored him with a cold face.


    ¡°Qiu Niang, I want to dig out my heart and show you, so that you can see who is inside it. If you still don¡¯t believe me, okay, I swear, if I really want to touch her today, I won¡¯t be allowed to touch her.¡± Die.¡± Wei Kangping swore.


    Ancient people believed in the existence of gods and ghosts in this world, and they also believed in swearing. Wei Kangping cursed himself like this, and Liu¡¯s heart began to shake. Could it be that Jiang Yunzhu really misunderstood?


    That really doesn¡¯t explain it. She originally wanted to thank Mrs. Chen, but who would have thought that it would become like this now.


    She hugged Lu Yuan and continued to walk forward, ignoring Wei Kangping, but her expression softened.


    Wei Kangping gritted his teeth and quickly followed.


    In the Jiang family, when the Liu family and the others had left, Chen looked at the opportunity of no one and asked Jiang Yunzhu in private, ¡°He, really wants to touch you?¡±


    ¡°Mother, don¡¯t you believe me?¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Chen was furious, of course she believed in Jiang Yunzhu.


    Later, when Jiang Cheng came back, Mrs. Chen told Jiang Cheng what happened in the afternoon. After hearing this, Jiang Cheng was so angry that his eyes turned red. He also believed in Jiang Yunzhu. The one named Wei!


    ¡°I¡¯ll go find him.¡± Jiang Cheng blushed, and he went to settle accounts with him.


    ¡°The head of the house.¡± Mrs. Chen became worried again.


    ¡°Father! We have no evidence.¡± Jiang Yunzhu stopped Jiang Cheng. She was afraid that Jiang Cheng would suffer losses if he went.


    ¡°Yunzhu.¡± Jiang Cheng turned to look at her.


    Jiang Yunzhu frowned in thought. She wasn¡¯t touched, but Wei Kangping¡¯s motivation for this behavior was sexual harassment.


    What¡¯s more, she was a little worried about whether people like him would retaliate. And Mrs. Liu and that child¡­


    In short, prepare for the worst in everything, that¡¯s right.


    By the way, when she saw the mule in Jiang Cheng¡¯s hand, she suddenly thought, people like Wei Kangping would sell such a good mule to them so cheaply?

 Chapter 38

    Not to mention how Jiang Yunzhu thought, after Wei Kangping returned to the county with Liu Shi, Liu Shi still treated him indifferently, and he hit his head with anger.


    As the sun was setting, Mrs. Liu was cooking, and he watched from the side, his face sinking like water. Originally, he wanted to have fun with her, but he knew that she had been played by countless people, and he thought it was dirty. Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t count on her, so he quickly got the money in his hands.


    This, he is familiar with.


    It was getting dark, Liu made dinner and sat at the table with Lu Yuan to eat.


    Mrs. Liu is also a thrifty person. For dinner, there are only two bowls of porridge, two pancakes, and a side dish.


    Wei Kangping sat down, ¡°I know you¡¯re still angry with me, it¡¯s useless for me to explain, but I¡¯m really innocent.¡±


    Liu Shi didn¡¯t speak.


    ¡°Forget it, Lu Yao knows horsepower, and you can see people¡¯s hearts after a long time, and you will know what kind of person I am in the future.¡± Wei Kangping said again.


    Liu¡¯s hand holding the chopsticks paused.


    Wei Kangping continued, ¡°Anyway, I am determined to marry you.¡± At this time, he took out a few things from his arms and handed them to Mrs. Chen, ¡°I have been looking for a chance for you for the past two days, and then I will marry you.¡± Please marry me, I didn¡¯t expect this to happen today.


    Look, this is all my wealth, I will give it to you, you should know how much I love you! ¡°


    Mrs. Liu looked at the paper, but saw that there were several house deeds and land deeds, with the official seal on them.


    Now, Liu Shi was really shocked. He wants to give her such an important thing?


    ¡°Anyway, I have identified you in my life.¡± Wei Kangping said affectionately.


    The balance in Liu¡¯s heart began to tilt, and she felt that Jiang Yunzhu might have misunderstood. Wei Kangping¡¯s ability to give her something as important as his life shows that he really has her in his heart and wants to spend his life with her.


    ¡°Believe me now? I don¡¯t have a lot of money, but it must be a lot. Is there any girl I want, so why do I want to touch her?¡± Wei Kangping said.


    ¡°Then you treat me?¡±


    ¡°I really like you. I liked you from the first moment I saw you. You are different from other women.¡± Wei Kangping said while holding Liu¡¯s hand.


    Liu Shi wanted to pull it back, but it didn¡¯t.


    Wei Kangping smiled, folded the deeds and land deeds, and put them into Liu¡¯s hands.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want it.¡± Liu declined.


    Wei Kangping insisted on giving it to her.


    Finally, Wei Kangping took out a box from his body, put the house deed and land deed in it, and then locked the box and handed it to Mrs. Liu, ¡°You take this first, the key is in my hand, and I will give you the key on the wedding day.¡± , let¡¯s not distinguish between you and me, is this okay for the head office?¡±


    Before Liu could refuse, he put the box on the table, then looked at the food on the table and said, ¡°Why are you eating this kind of food again? You can bear it, the child is growing up, how can you bear it.


    You wait, I¡¯ll go to Baofulou to buy you some braised pork and stir-fried vegetables. ¡°Speaking he stood up.


    ¡°No need.¡± Liu said quickly.


    Wei Kangping insisted on buying it, ¡°Wait for me, I¡¯ll be back in a while.¡±


    Liu Shi stood up and tried to catch up, but failed.


    When she came back, she sat on the stool, not in the mood to eat at all.


    After half an hour, it was already dark outside, and Wei Kangping hadn¡¯t come back yet, so Mrs. Liu couldn¡¯t sit still, did something happen? It stands to reason that he should have come back long ago.


    She went to the door to check, and it was completely dark outside. People occasionally passed by on the street, but there was no sign of Wei Kangping.


    She stood there looking for a while, went back to the house, and then came out to look again after a while.


    When she came out to look around for the third time, a man ran across the street.


    ¡°Is it Wei Kangping¡¯s house?¡± The man looked at the big poplar tree at the gate and asked Liu¡¯s urgently.


    ¡°You are?¡± Liu asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s not good, come and take a look with me, your husband met a villain in the back street of Baofulou and shed a lot of blood.¡± The man said urgently.


    Liu felt her head bouncing and forgot to say that she was not Wei Kangping¡¯s wife.


    ¡°How is he now?¡± Liu Shi immediately became anxious.


    ¡°The medical officer in front of the street, go, I¡¯ll take you there.¡±


    The two turned two streets one after the other and came to a small medical clinic.


    As soon as she entered the door, Liu saw Wei Kang lying there flat, with blood all over his waist and abdomen.


    ¡°Brother Wei.¡± Liu rushed over, but was stopped by a man who looked like a doctor, ¡°Don¡¯t touch him, or you will die sooner.¡±


    die? Liu Shi suddenly thought of her deceased husband, he was lying there like this at that time, she couldn¡¯t do anything except cry.


    Her tears flowed down immediately.


    ¡°Are you his wife?¡± the doctor asked.


    Liu Shi was speechless and just shook her head.


    ¡°It¡¯s not his wife, so you are?¡± the doctor asked again.


    Liu still shook her head.


    The doctor sighed, ¡°Hurry up and find his family. In this case, he can only be hanged with the old ginseng and treated slowly. If it is later, it will be hopeless.¡±


    His family? The Liu family only heard Wei Kangping say that he lived in the west of the city, but he had never been to his house, so how could he find someone.


    ¡°Then we can only wait to die!¡± the doctor said, going to the back.


    Liu quickly grabbed him, ¡°Doctor, it¡¯s important to save his life, you save him.¡±


    ¡°If there is no money, there will be no ginseng. How can I save him!¡± the doctor said.


    Liu Shi hesitated, ¡°How much money do you want?¡± She couldn¡¯t just watch him die.


    ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s a hundred taels.¡± The doctor said.


    Liu was stunned, ¡°I, I don¡¯t have that much money.¡±


    ¡°Then how much do you have? As long as the difference is not too much. Judging by the young man¡¯s clothes, he doesn¡¯t look like he has no money. When he wakes up, we can ask him for it.¡±


    The doctor¡¯s words also eased Liu Shi¡¯s heart.


    ¡°I have, seventy-five taels.¡± She said.


    The doctor¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°That¡¯s enough, Ah Nian, you go back with her to get the money.¡±


    Just like that, Mrs. Liu returned home in a daze. It happened so fast that she had no time to think about anything else.


    When she got home, she found the silver she had hidden in the baggage, clothes, and several boxes, which was a little over seventy-five taels.


    She hurried back to the hospital and gave the money to the doctor.


    ¡°I¡¯ll save people right away.¡± The doctor said, and entered the back room, at this time Wei Kangping had already been carried to the back room.


    Mrs. Liu walked around anxiously outside, afraid of any bad news.


    At this time, three people dressed as servants came outside, and they asked, ¡°Where is our young master?¡±


    ¡°Who are you?¡± the guy named Ah Nian asked.


    ¡°Servant of the Wei family, where is our young master? I heard he was injured.¡± The three asked anxiously.


    ¡°Oh, Mr. Wei is inside.¡± The man replied.


    The three immediately went into the back room, and Liu only heard the words ¡°life is saved¡± and ¡°go back and take care of yourself¡± from inside. After a while, the three carried Wei Kangping out.


    ¡°How is he?¡± Liu quickly stepped forward to ask.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± asked one of the leading servants.


    Liu¡¯s face blushed, and she didn¡¯t know what Wei Kangping told her family, how should she answer now.


    ¡°Young Master¡¯s life is saved, let¡¯s carry him back first, what¡¯s the matter with you, let¡¯s talk about it after Young Master wakes up.¡± The servant said anxiously, and carried Wei Kangping away after speaking.


    Mrs. Liu stood there, worried and stunned, and returned home after a while.


    After returning home, she remembered that all her money had been paid for Wei Kangping¡¯s medical expenses, and suddenly panicked, but then she thought that Wei Kangping¡¯s house deed and land deed were all in her hands, as if that little money was nothing.


    This night, she was destined not to be able to sleep.


    At this time, in an alley two streets away, several people stood there, including an old lady.


    ¡°Boss, why did you let that little girl go this time?¡± A man with mischievous eyebrows asked Wei Kangping. In the past, Wei Kangping was all about money and sex.


    ¡°I don¡¯t even want to wear a broken shoe.¡± Wei Kangping said coldly.


    Suddenly, he thought of Jiang Yunzhu, with a fierce look on his face, he must get her.


    At this time, the Jiang family decided after discussion to return the mule to Wei Kangping.


    ¡°Father, let the village chief be a witness on this matter.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. She was afraid that Wei Kangping would do something to harm them, and that Jiang Cheng would be impulsive. Gu Yongde was the village head, experienced and familiar with the officials in the county government. She was relieved to have him accompany him.


    ¡°Yunzhu is right.¡± Mr. Chen immediately agreed after hearing this.


    Jiang Cheng immediately went to Gu¡¯s house and told Gu Yongde about the matter. He didn¡¯t say that Wei Kangping wanted to touch Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s arm today, but said that they felt that Wei Kangping seemed to have a problem with his character, and they didn¡¯t want to take advantage of him, so they wanted to return the mule to him and asked Gu Yongde to be a witness.


    Of course Gu Yongde is fine.


    The next day, Jiang Cheng and Gu Yongde went into the county together to retrieve the mules. Jiang Yunzhu wanted to follow, but Jiang Cheng disagreed. For someone like Wei Kangping, Jiang Yunzhu was a girl, and he was afraid that she would suffer.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t insist either.


    As soon as Jiang Cheng and Gu Yongde led the mule into the county town, someone saw it, and that person asked another person, ¡°Is it our family¡¯s mule?¡±


    Another person replied, ¡°I see clearly, it belongs to our family. You keep an eye on these two people, I¡¯ll go back and call someone.¡±


    ¡°it is good.¡±


    The county town was still bustling. Jiang Cheng didn¡¯t know where Wei Kangping lived, but only knew Liu¡¯s address. He had no other choice, so he decided to ask Liu¡¯s.


    After only two streets, five or six big men suddenly came over there, the leader was a bearded man, tall and strong, with a fierce look on his face.


    Gu Yongde¡¯s heart tightened when he saw it, and he pulled Jiang Cheng to hide aside quickly, they couldn¡¯t afford to provoke these people.


    Jiang Cheng also knew, so he hid to the side.


    Who would have thought that those people would come straight towards them.


    A few steps closer, the strong man grabbed Jiang Cheng¡¯s collar and shouted, ¡°Even dare to blackmail my son, and you don¡¯t even ask, who is our Li family!¡± Jiang Cheng called.


    Jiang Cheng was also a strong man, but in the hands of this strong man, he was powerless to fight back.


    Seeing that the fist was about to hit him, Gu Yongde hurriedly shouted, ¡°Stop, I am the head of Changshi Village, what do you want to do!¡±


    ¡°Village head?¡± The strong man glanced at Gu Yongde, and wanted to punch Jiang Cheng again.


    Gu Yongde grabbed his wrist, thinking of what the strong man said just now, his mind turned, ¡°Why did you hit someone? We don¡¯t even know you.¡±


    ¡°Let you get to know me today.¡± The strong man said, and waved Gu Yongde away.


    The four or five strong men behind him also surrounded him, and they were about to punch and kick Jiang Cheng.


    At this time, one person said loudly, ¡°You have admitted the wrong person, we bought that mule two days ago.¡±


    When everyone turned their heads, they saw a girl with bright eyes and kind eyes.


    ¡°Yunzhu.¡± Jiang Cheng said.


    Couldn¡¯t it be Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Cheng left with Gu Yongde, she always felt uneasy, fearing that something might happen, so she followed. Just in time, at the gate of the city, she saw two people pointing at the mule that Jiang Cheng was leading, she knew something bad was going to happen, and hurried to catch up.


    ¡°You bought it?¡± The strong man didn¡¯t believe it at all.


    ¡°We bought it from a man named Wei Kangping for nine taels of silver. If you don¡¯t believe me, we will take you to him right now.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°This mule was indeed bought by us, someone should have seen it at the Luoma Market.¡± Jiang Cheng also reacted.


    ¡°I¡¯m the head of Changshi Village, and I won¡¯t lie to you.¡± Gu Yongde also said.


    Only then did the strong man let go of Jiang Cheng with suspicion, ¡°See what tricks you guys are playing.¡± Then he said, ¡°Don¡¯t even try to run away!¡±


    Jiang Cheng smiled wryly, why are they running.


    He led the way, and a group of people came to Liu¡¯s residence.


    Knocking on the door, Mrs. Liu opened it, and was frightened when she saw so many people.


    ¡°Is Wei Kangping here?¡± Jiang Cheng asked while suppressing his anger as much as possible.


    ¡°He, he was injured last night and was carried home by his servants.¡± Liu stammered back.


    ¡°Where is his home?¡± Jiang Cheng asked again.


    ¡°On Chessboard Street in the west of the city.¡±


    Specifically?


    Mrs. Liu didn¡¯t know either, it was Wei Kangping who came to look for her every time, and she had never been to Wei¡¯s house.


    Jiang Cheng frowned.


    The strong man surnamed Li snorted, ¡°Qipan Street? I¡¯ve never heard of a person surnamed Wei living there. You are acting with me on purpose, right?¡±


    Jiang Cheng didn¡¯t react much to his words, but Liu¡¯s eyes only felt dark, ¡°Impossible!¡± She exclaimed in surprise.


    But the strong man surnamed Li waved his hand and wanted to beat Jiang Cheng and others again. He believed that these people were lying to him.


    ¡°We may have all been deceived.¡± At this time, Jiang Yunzhu said surprisingly.


    They were making a lot of noise here, alarming the neighbors, and many people came out to watch the fun.


    At a street corner, Wei Kangping looked at Jiang Yunzhu in the crowd with a hideous expression. His mule did not come on the right path, so he was in a hurry to make a move. The Jiang family is in Changshi Village, so it stands to reason that they would not meet the suffering master so soon.


    But who knew things would change so quickly, Wei Kangping gritted his teeth, he really didn¡¯t expect that Jiang¡¯s family would come to the county to return the mules.


    Turning around, he disappeared into the street.


    At this time, a carriage stopped on the street, and a female voice inside asked the driver, ¡°Song Li, what happened outside?¡±


    The coachman got out of the car to inquire, but came back soon to report.


    A shiny bare hand opened a corner of the carriage curtain and looked out, saw Jiang Yunzhu in the crowd, and also saw Wei Kangping who was obviously walking in the opposite direction from the crowd.


    Then the curtain of the carriage was lowered, and the carriage left without a sound.


    On the other side of the street, two people also came.


    Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng, it took them four days to return to the capital from Luzhou last time, but this time they only took three and a half days to reach Wuling County.


    Just in time, they saw a group of people, and Jiang Yunzhu who was talking about something in the crowd.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Yang Sheng asked the person next to him.


    The man didn¡¯t know too well, only the girl said that he seemed to be cheated.


    Yang Sheng raised his eyebrows, hey, someone bullied them!

 Chapter 39

    It turned out that on the way here, Jiang Yunzhu asked one of the big guys who seemed to be more talkative, what happened.


    The big man saw that she was a pretty girl and she spoke nicely, and he was afraid that there might be some misunderstanding, so he told her the whole story.


    They are members of Chengdong Fengyuan Escort Bureau, and the strong man in front is their master, surnamed Li.


    Li Biaotou¡¯s youngest son was ill from being beaten into the mother¡¯s womb, and has been weak since he was a child. The family protected him like a pearl. A few days ago, Li Yan suddenly became excited, so he rode a mule in the **** agency and went out for a stroll.


    Walking to Hexi Street, suddenly an old lady rushed out and bumped into his mule.


    Li Yan was only thirteen years old and rarely went out, so he was immediately frightened.


    At this time, several people came out, pushing and shoving him, saying that he had hit someone, robbed his mule, and stripped him of all valuables before throwing him to the side of the road.


    Li Yan went home in shock and fell ill that night. The family asked him what was going on, and he told what happened before.


    Li Biaotou and the others traveled all over the world and saw nothing. They immediately understood that he had been blackmailed, and they were furious.


    For the past two days, they had been looking for people and mules in the county town, and they happened to see Jiang Cheng leading their mule into the city, so they naturally regarded him as the murderer.


    After Jiang Yunzhu listened, the old lady bumped into the mule, why did she sound so familiar? Suddenly, she remembered that Liu Shi once said that an old lady bumped into her carriage, and then she met Wei Kangping.


    She still doesn¡¯t understand, this is a group of habitual offenders, that¡¯s why she just said that sentence, ¡°We may all be deceived.¡±


    Everyone looked at her, and she immediately told the whole story.


    She spoke clearly, every detail was correct, Li Biaotou and the others hesitated, is that so?


    Jiang Cheng finally understood that it turned out to be like this. He immediately gritted his teeth angrily, the surname Wei is really not a good person!


    It was Liu Shi who reacted the most. She opened her eyes wide and couldn¡¯t believe her ears. Wei Kangping lied to her? Then her money¡­ She entered the room like crazy, picked up the wooden box on the table and threw it on the ground.


    The wooden box was broken in half, revealing the house deed and land deed inside.


    She rushed into the courtyard with those house deeds and land deeds, as if she was saying to everyone, but also to herself, ¡°No, he put all the house deeds and land deeds with me, he is not a liar.¡±


    She was so excited that a house deed slipped from her hand and landed in front of Escort Li.


    Li Biao took a glance, ¡°The owner of this house is surnamed Qian, I know him, and his surname is not Wei at all. Moreover, the official seal seems to be¡­¡± It seems to be fake.


    He didn¡¯t finish, but everyone understood what he meant.


    Immediately, all the house deeds and land deeds in Liu¡¯s hand fell to the ground, she fell down and sat there, tears streaming down her face, but she couldn¡¯t say a word.


    Some things had been foreshadowed, for example, Wei Kangping never let her go to his house, for example, he asked her about the money a few times, but he hadn¡¯t looked into it before, and now thinking about it, it was all flaws.


    Seeing her crying like this, Li Escort believed that she was also being cheated.


    Gu Yongde was still relatively steady, and asked the people next to him, which yard did Mrs. Liu live in?


    A middle-aged woman squeezed out from the crowd, saying that an old lady rented the yard from her, and she only paid one month¡¯s rent, which was about to expire soon.


    All the truth came out, the old lady was one of them.


    What should we do now? Only by catching Wei Kangping can we give everyone justice. Jiang Yunzhu asked Gu Yongde, ¡°Look, this matter?¡± She wanted to report to the officials, but she didn¡¯t know the situation in Wuling County Yamen, so she wanted to hear Gu Yongde¡¯s opinion .


    ¡°Report to the official!¡± Gu Yongde said after a little thought.


    A group of people went to the county government office.


    The magistrate of Wuling County, surnamed Meng, had just finished breakfast and was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.


    Suddenly, a servant came in with something the size of a palm in his hand.


    ¡°Master, someone asked me to give this to you.¡± The servant bowed.


    ¡°What?¡± Meng Zhixian looked into the servant¡¯s hand, and suddenly slid off the chair like noodles.


    ¡°Master.¡± ¡°Master.¡± The servant girl rushed to help him, but found that Meng Zhixian¡¯s body seemed to be boneless, and his whole body was soft.


    With great difficulty, Meng Zhixian was helped back to the chair.


    Meng Zhixian touched his neck first, then jumped up and grabbed the token in the servant¡¯s hand.


    Qilin Guard¡¯s token, that¡¯s right!


    He only heard a few days ago that General Wang and others were captured by the Qilin Guards and taken to the capital. Now the capital is bleeding like a river. A while ago, the officials of Changfeng Mansion were almost killed¡­


    Now the token appeared in his hand, ¡°Where¡¯s the person?¡± He asked tremblingly.


    The servant was illiterate, didn¡¯t know what was written on the token, and didn¡¯t understand why the master suddenly became like this. That person just threw the sign at him casually, if it wasn¡¯t for that person¡¯s outstanding looks, he wouldn¡¯t bother to pay attention to him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The servant returned, threw down the sign, and the man left.


    ¡°Leaving?¡± Meng Zhixian hurriedly ran outside, but there was no one there, and he stood there in a panic.


    At this moment, someone was beating a drum in front of him, and the sound of the drum seemed to hit his heart.


    Shengtang, a group of yamen servants stand on both sides, and sit in the middle of Mengzhi county.


    It was the first time in Jiang Cheng¡¯s life that he went to court, before the servants around could shout, he knelt down on the ground, feeling worried.


    The others didn¡¯t get much better, and they were all terrified.


    However, the most nervous person in the hall was Mengzhi County. He looked around and found no suspicious person, but he always had the illusion that someone was staring at him, and if he was a little careless, he would be doomed.


    Then everyone discovered that Mengzhi County was extra cautious when asking about the case today. In the past, he would slap the gavel, scold everyone, and hit people with the board, but today he only slapped the gavel twice, and he still picked it up high and dropped it gently.


    Jiang Yunzhu had already sorted out the whole story for everyone, and Meng Zhixian was amiable again, and Jiang Cheng and the others explained the matter very smoothly.


    When Meng Zhi County heard that there were such villains in his jurisdiction, he immediately sent police to search for them.


    It¡¯s just that no one can be found, and Wei Kangping has already led them out of the county at this time.


    Mengzhi County was in a hurry and couldn¡¯t catch anyone. Was it because he was not good at handling the case? Search, all the policemen will go out to catch people for me. If they can¡¯t catch people, they will all be punished.


    The arresters knew that the master was serious, so they didn¡¯t dare to neglect, and all went out to arrest people.


    Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t help being a little surprised to see Meng Zhi County being so vigorous and resolute. There are not many officials like him these days. The ancient torture technology was backward, and it was impossible to draw a portrait. She could catch people¡­ She didn¡¯t have much hope at first, but now she feels that she can look forward to it.


    No one could be caught for a while, so Mengzhi asked everyone to go back first. As for the mule, it was regarded as evidence and had to be left in the county government first.


    After leaving the county office, Jiang Cheng was extremely depressed, and the money he had saved with great difficulty was gone.


    ¡°Father, you can make more money if you run out of money, as long as you are okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu comforted him.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Gu Yongde also comforted Jiang Cheng.


    Jiang Cheng forced a smile, he¡¯s fine.


    Someone has something to do, ¡°Are you looking for death? I didn¡¯t see the car.¡± A man shouted.


    He was driving a bullock cart passing by, but Liu Shi bumped into him like a walking dead, and almost hit his car.


    The man scolded Liu Shi, but Liu Shi stared at the wheel as if he didn¡¯t hear it.


    Jiang Cheng looked worried, she is like this, don¡¯t let anything happen again, but there are some things that he can¡¯t say as a man, so he looked at Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu understood, took Liu Shi¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Auntie, the government will bring that man back. Think about Lu Yuan.¡±


    At the mention of Lu Yuan, Liu¡¯s eyes finally became brighter. She looked at Jiang Yunzhu, and tears suddenly fell down like a bank.


    It¡¯s all her fault, a lowly person who covets things that don¡¯t belong to her, and ends up with nothing.


    She wondered if Jiang Yunzhu had misunderstood before, and she was the stupidest person!


    She herself was cheated, and the Jiang family was also cheated. I originally wanted to repay their kindness, but now I have harmed them.


    It¡¯s all her fault!


    Fortunately, Jiang Yunzhu was not bullied by that person, otherwise she would die to atone for her crime.


    She was crying heartbroken and desperate, and Jiang Yunzhu also knew that no matter how much words were used to comfort her, it would be useless unless Wei Kangping could be caught and the silver returned.


    But, it¡¯s hard.


    Across the street, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng stood there. Yang Sheng looked at the scene over there and said angrily, ¡°Sure enough, we can¡¯t count on those arresters. If our people were here, they would have been arrested by now.¡±


    ¡°When will our people arrive?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    ¡°Wait for another two days.¡± Yang Sheng replied. The horses of the two of them were fast, and the guards were left behind again.


    Shen Fengming nodded.


    Yang Sheng also looked over there again, and after two days, he promised to make those people regret coming to this world.


    Jiang Cheng, Gu Yongde, and Jiang Yunzhu returned to Changshi Village.


    Jiang Cheng thanked Gu Yongde, Gu Yongde waved his hands again and again, but didn¡¯t help them, and then went home.


    Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yunzhu went home, and when they told Chen about the matter, Chen covered his mouth and choked up.


    Jiang Yunzhu persuaded Chen Shi again, in her opinion, it was really just a few taels of silver, as long as people are free.


    Her attitude comforted Mrs. Chen, otherwise she would have suffered a serious illness.


    ¡°Let¡¯s make lunch.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, they still have business to do.


    Mrs. Chen nodded quickly and got busy.


    At this time, someone knocked on the door.


    Jiang Yunzhu was in the courtyard, she went to open the door.


    The door opened, she stood there in a daze, the two people outside¡­ Was she dazzled? Looking carefully, it was really Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng, she immediately turned pale.


    She wondered if Wuling County had bad geomantic omen. First, there was such a catastrophe, and then there was someone like Wei Kangping. Now, the **** of death came to visit again.


    It¡¯s been really bad luck lately.


    She thought, otherwise, she would just move out of this place when she made some more money.


    Yang Sheng: ¡­Why does he have the illusion of being rejected again.


    At this time, Mrs. Chen poked her head out from the kitchen and saw Shen Fengming and the two of them. She was also taken aback for a moment, ¡°You two sold out the food you sold last time?¡±


    Yang Sheng: ¡­ nodded in confusion.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid the village has no food to sell to you.¡± Chen said. There are many mountains around Changshi Village, so there is little grain production in the first place. The price of Yang Sheng¡¯s harvested grain was high last time, and all the grain that the village wanted to sell had already been sold to him.


    ¡°We¡¯re going to visit other counties this time, and we just passed by here to see you.¡± Yang Sheng didn¡¯t lie, the case they wanted to investigate was in another county. As he said that, he also took out a bunch of food like a magic trick, including citrus, snacks, candied fruit and so on.


    Just passing by, Jiang Yunzhu raised his eyebrows.


    Mrs. Chen was pleasantly surprised and a little bit worried. The surprise was that these two merchants passed by and came to see them. The worry was that something happened to Wei Kangping. She looked like a bad person to everyone now.


    She knew that she shouldn¡¯t think so, so she immediately invited Shen Fengming and the others in.


    Arriving at the familiar side room again, Yang Sheng was still a little emotional.


    At noon, since the two of them came to see Jiang Cheng and the others, and brought so many things, they were guests. Jiang Yunzhu cooked a table of meals, and Jiang Cheng accompanied them, and everyone sat and ate together.


    ¡°Young master.¡± Jiang Cheng said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t call me Young Master, my name is Yang Sheng, he¡­¡± Yang Sheng looked at Shen Fengming, how would he introduce his name?


    Jiang Yunzhu also looked at Shen Fengming, and suddenly held his breath, what if he said his name was Shen Fengming? Commander Shen Fengming of the Qilin Guard, not to mention all the Xia Dynasty people, more than half have heard of his name.


    If Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi heard that his name was Shen Fengming¡­


    ¡°Shen Yuyu.¡± Shen Fengming said. His name is Shen Fengming, his surname is Yuyu, few people know his surname.


    Hearing what he said, Jiang Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and continued to eat with his head down.


    The Jiang family no longer does the breakfast business, and it¡¯s cold in winter, so they go to bed early.


    The night was deep, with a north wind blowing, suddenly, Shen Fengming opened his eyes.


    Next to him, Yang Sheng was a step slower than him, but he also woke up.


    ¡°Someone.¡± Yang Sheng said.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    The two got up quietly, followed the sound, and came to the backyard of the Jiang family.


    There is a mountain behind Jiang¡¯s house, and at the foot of the mountain, several people are standing there shyly.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t the boss come? Didn¡¯t he say that he would leave Wuling County after taking the girl captive?¡± The person who spoke had a mischievous eyebrow and a knife in his hand. He was the one who followed Wei Kangping yesterday.


    The county government officials went crazy and arrested Wei Kangping everywhere. Wei Kangping didn¡¯t dare to stay in Wuling County anymore, but he just left because he was unwilling.


    This group of them has always been able to deceive if they can, and they can¡¯t deceive or be smashed. They can do anything.


    Wei Kangping decided to take Jiang Yunzhu captive tonight.


    He knew that Jiang¡¯s family was just a young and strong man in Jiangcheng, and there were six people on their side, who sneaked into Jiang¡¯s house with mist, and stunned people, so they didn¡¯t let him do anything.


    But before he left, he had one more thing to do. He hid the silver he got in Wuling County in a hidden place.


    He went to get the silver first, and then gathered with a few people at the back door of Jiang¡¯s house.


    Standing on the high wall, Yang Sheng threw his arm at Shen Fengming. Fortunately, they came early, otherwise Miss Jiang would be¡­


    As a result, his arm hit the air.


    Shen Fengming had already jumped off the high wall.


    ¡°Woo¡­¡± The people below didn¡¯t even have time to scream.


    ¡°Keep two alive.¡± Yang Sheng whispered anxiously, and quickly jumped off the wall.


    There was another sound of bone breaking, Shen Fengming finally stopped, standing in the night like Shura.


    There were two people left, an old lady and a thin man, both peed their pants in fright.


    Yang Cheng pinched his nose, now he knows he¡¯s scared, why did he do it earlier, it¡¯s not good to provoke anyone, to provoke this killing god.


    He kicked the skinny man, ¡°Get up, I have something to ask you.¡±


    I must ask where the surname Wei went.


    Also, there is so much blood on the ground, what should I do if the Jiang family finds out tomorrow and scares them?


    The thin man and the old lady didn¡¯t know where Wei Kangping had gone, they only knew that he had gone to the west.


    Then, the two began to move the body and clean the scene.


    The two suspected that they had encountered a ghost, and they dared not raise their heads or speak.


    Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng stood there, looking into the distance, waiting for Wei Kangping to come.


    As a result, after waiting for more than half an hour, the ground over there had been cleaned, and Wei Kangping did not come.


    The two looked at each other and decided to follow in that direction.


    That thin man Yang Sheng was tied to a tree with the old lady, and then followed Shen Fengming all the way west.


    After walking for about a mile, the two suddenly saw a burden on the ground.


    Open it, and there are gold and silver jewelry inside.


    This can¡¯t be Wei Kangping¡¯s, what about others?


    The two continued to move forward with their bags, but no one was found, so they had to turn back with their bags.


    ¡°This is the burden of the boss.¡± The thin and small man recognized a silver bag in the burden, which was obtained by defrauding Liu Shi.


    ¡°Then where did he go?¡± Yang Sheng asked.


    The skinny man didn¡¯t know either. It stands to reason that Wei Kangping couldn¡¯t give up his money and leave by himself, unless¡­


    ¡°Interesting.¡± Yang Sheng said, he looked at Shen Fengming and said, ¡°Remember the case I showed you? The magistrate of Yuming County disappeared just like that, and was only discovered a month later, tsk tsk, it¡¯s too miserable.¡±


    ¡°The first one to disappear was Cao Shilang from Luzhou. Three years ago, when Ding You was at home, he went to the temple to offer incense, and then he disappeared.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    ¡°Is there such a thing? I thought only Yuming County had died.¡± Yang Sheng asked.


    Shen Fengming glanced at him, if it was only a county magistrate in Yuming County, how could the emperor agree to let the two of them leave Beijing. He consulted many files and found that this matter was not that simple.


    ¡°Then, the murderer may also come to Wuling County now?¡± Yang Sheng asked.


    ¡°Not sure.¡± Shen Fengming replied, there was too little information.


    ¡°I hope so.¡± Yang Sheng said, so that they don¡¯t have to go to Yuming County, and Wei Kangping fell into the hands of that person, I hope he can enjoy it.


    At this time, in a dark cave, Wei Kangping was woken up by a ladle of cold water. He looked at the person opposite with a fierce expression on his face. Unexpectedly, he hunted geese all day long, and today he was pecked in the eye by geese.


    He wanted to get up, but found that he was tied to a big rock and couldn¡¯t move at all.


    ¡°What do you want?¡± he asked.


    The man didn¡¯t answer, but reached out to untie his belt.


    Wei Kangping was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, ¡°Let go of me, I promise you¡­¡±


    Then he saw the thing in the man¡¯s hand, and his face was full of horror, ¡°What are you going to do, let me go!¡±


    The screams like killing a pig can be heard endlessly.


    As soon as the city gate opened the next day, Hu Butou led the people out of the city gate and limped out.


    No one was caught yesterday, the master really beat them five times each. There are still five boards to remember, because they are afraid that they will not be able to handle the errand, so they didn¡¯t call.


    If you can¡¯t catch another person today, it will be ten boards.


    These police officers were also jealous, and decided that they must find out those **** liars today.


    At this moment, two figures ran towards them with a burden on their backs, shouting as they ran, ¡°Help, help!¡±


    Hu Butou immediately drew out his knife and put on a posture. He wanted to see who was so bold and dared to commit murder at the gate of the city.


    At this time, a policeman next to him said, ¡°Boss, why do these two people look so familiar?¡±


    Don¡¯t they look familiar? Yesterday they were looking for an old lady with a mole on her nose.


    The arresters were overjoyed, feeling like a pie had fallen from the sky, and quickly blocked the road to prevent the two from running away.


    Then they found that they were redundant, and the two didn¡¯t want to run away at all.


    When they got close, they ducked directly behind the captors, as if some terrible thing was chasing them after them.


    All the arresters, look over there quickly, there is nothing there!


    ¡°Help, help.¡± The two grabbed a few policemen, and seemed to be the only words they could say.


    Detective Hu quickly took people back to report.


    Meng Zhixian was walking around anxiously in the room at this moment. He didn¡¯t sleep well last night and got up very early this morning.


    Hearing that he was caught, he was both surprised and delighted, and immediately went to interrogate him, and then asked Hu Butou where he caught him.


    Hu Butou was full of embarrassment, ¡°At the gate of the city.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Meng Zhixian asked.


    Hu Butou told the previous story, afraid that Mengzhi County would not believe it, so he asked the next policeman to tell the story quickly. In fact, the scene was too weird.


    Of course Meng Zhixian believed his words, it was not surprising that anything happened where Qilinwei was, he was only worried about whether he was doing well enough!


    Early this morning, a policeman came to Jiang¡¯s house and knocked on the door, telling them that they had caught two suspects and asked them to identify them and collect the money.


    It¡¯s okay to recognize people, get money? Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Chen were overwhelmed with surprise, and asked the arrester, if they could really get the money?


    It stands to reason that of course not so fast, even if the stolen money is found, the stolen money will not be returned to the victim until the case is over, but Mengzhi County is not in a hurry, so it decides to do everything as soon as possible.


    This time Jiang Cheng, Chen Shi, and Jiang Yunzhu went to the county together. In front of the county government office, they met Mrs. Liu.


    Mrs. Liu was very haggard, her eyes were swollen like peaches, and she didn¡¯t know how many times she cried yesterday.


    Originally, Mrs. Chen was a little angry with her, thinking that if it wasn¡¯t for her, their family would never have gotten into such a thing. It can be seen that she is like this, and knowing that the money has been recovered, she feels sympathetic to her.


    ¡°Sister-in-law Chen, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Mrs. Liu said the first thing she said when she saw Mrs. Chen.


    ¡°Forget it, you didn¡¯t mean it.¡± Chen sighed.


    Liu Shi wanted to cry but couldn¡¯t cry anymore, shed all her tears yesterday.


    Over there, Li Biaotou and others also came. Next to Li Biaotou was a young man, his face was very pale, his facial features were exquisite, and he had a sickly and weak feeling.


    Jiang Yunzhu knew that this was probably Li Yan.


    ¡°I was the one who was too impulsive yesterday.¡± Captain Li was a hearty guy, knowing that he wrongly blamed Jiang Cheng and the others yesterday, he immediately apologized.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, you are also in a hurry.¡± Jiang Cheng said.


    The two men looked at each other and smiled to wipe away their grievances.


    Everyone entered the county government hall together.


    Hu Butou dragged the thin man and the old lady out and showed them to them.


    Liu immediately recognized the old lady as the person who hit her car that day.


    Apart from knowing the old lady, Li Yan also knew that the skinny man was the one who blackmailed him that day.


    Signed and pledged, Mengzhi County made a verdict on their matter. The mules and Li Yan¡¯s robbed items were all returned to the Li family, nine taels of silver were given to the Jiang family, and the seventy-five taels of silver belonging to the Liu family were also returned to her.


    When they came out of the county government office, everyone had smiles on their faces.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the one surnamed Wei hasn¡¯t been caught yet.¡± Chief Li said angrily.


    ¡°That¡¯s not true.¡± Jiang Cheng¡¯s mood also relaxed a lot.


    Escort Li looked at him, and suddenly asked, ¡°Do you want to buy a mule?¡±


    Jiang Cheng was puzzled.


    Escort Li patted the mule, ¡°Almost hit the wrong person, so for nine taels of silver, this mule will be sold to you, which is considered an apology to you. This mule is also destined to be with you.¡±


    ¡°How can this be done?¡± Jiang Cheng hastily refused.


    Escort Li glared, ¡°Why not, let¡¯s do it this way!¡± As he said, he shoved the reins of the mule into Jiang Cheng¡¯s hands, not giving him a chance to refuse at all.


    Escort Li led the men away, while Jiang Cheng led the mule, still unable to react.


    However, Mrs. Chen became happy and touched the mule. She felt that Escort Li might be right. This mule was indeed related to their family. They went around and went back to their house.


    The family led the mule back home and told Mr. Chen about the matter. Unlike the family¡¯s depression yesterday, the atmosphere at home today became visibly happier.


    In the side room, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng looked at each other, Yang Sheng crossed his arms and his face was full of smiles.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t smile, but his eyes were not so cold anymore.

 Chapter 40

    ¡°Miss Jiang.¡± Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming came out of the side room.


    Jiang Yunzhu was in a good mood now, she turned around and smiled at them, her eyes were flowing like twinkling water, which made people intoxicated in the gray winter.


    Shen Fengming and Yang Cheng were stunned, then Yang Cheng came back to his senses first, and asked, ¡°Who is this mule?¡±


    ¡°We bought new ones, hey, it¡¯s really not easy.¡± Jiang Cheng was just about to tell others, when he saw him ask, he started talking.


    Yang Sheng listened, sometimes echoing Jiang Cheng¡¯s words, nothing unusual.


    Then Jiang Yunzhu looked at him and Shen Fengming and frowned slightly. She didn¡¯t think much about it before, but now when she heard Jiang Cheng talk about this matter and saw these two people in front of her, she remembered a lot of strange things.


    In just one day, the government caught two suspects and returned the money to them?


    In her dream, she also lived in the Great Xia Dynasty for seven years, and she had never seen such an efficient official.


    Moreover, if you think about it carefully, it is not in line with common sense. The principal culprit of the case has not been caught yet, and the case has not been closed. This dirty money¡­


    Jiang Yunzhu wondered if it was Shen Fengming who helped them.


    She never thought that the two of them would take action in person, because if it were Qilinwei, Wei Kangping should have been arrested yesterday, and it would not be like this at all.


    It is likely that they sent a message to Mengzhi County.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked carefully at Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng, just happened to meet Shen Fengming looking at her, their gazes intertwined.


    In Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s dream, she stayed in the Anping Marquis Mansion for seven years, and her ability to read people¡¯s words and emotions was very good, but just like in her dream, she never could see clearly what was in Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes.


    Did he help? She¡¯s not sure.


    The feelings of the people of the Xia Dynasty towards him turned pale when they talked about it. But in fact, if you think about it carefully, he hardly did anything to the people, he just killed those officials. Probably the officials are too afraid of him, and even the common people are also afraid of him.


    Or Qilinwei, there is no secret they don¡¯t know, there is nothing they can¡¯t do, such a person, ordinary people are naturally afraid.


    Jiang Yunzhu opened her mouth, wanting to ask him about this matter, but the words came to her lips, she remembered that Shen Fengming and the two didn¡¯t mean to reveal their identities now, how could she ask?


    Shen Fengming¡¯s gaze was drawn by her, and fell on her slightly opened mouth and those soft and bright red lips.


    Jiang Yunzhu bit her lip, and turned her mind and said, ¡°Master Shen, Mr. Yang, tell me in advance when you leave, and I will make more things for you to eat on the way.¡± She thinks her cooking skills are still good, look at them She looks like she likes to eat too, why don¡¯t she cook more for them.


    It was the only thing she could do.


    Yang Sheng regained his energy when he heard what he was eating, and said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Girl Jiang, I have something to trouble you for. The sausage you gave us last time, my mother liked it very much. Can I buy more from you?¡± , Take it back and give it to her to eat.


    By the way, if there are other delicious foods, the more the better. ¡°Yang Sheng almost said, what kind of cold-eating rabbit and Dengying beef shreds, I will bring him a cart, and he will send them back to the capital, so as to silence his mother.


    Otherwise, when he goes back this time, his mother will definitely use violence against him.


    After speaking, he took out two ingots of silver from his sleeve, one ingot of ten taels, a total of twenty taels.


    so much? Jiang Yunzhu originally wanted to say that she gave them food for free, but did he want so much?


    Yang Sheng handed her the money, ¡°Make more, our family can eat.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t laugh or cry.


    ¡°You can sell me at the normal price. It¡¯s such a delicious thing, but others can¡¯t buy it if they have money!¡± Yang Sheng said proudly.


    With such a big business, Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Chen were looking at it again, Jiang Yunzhu had nothing else to say, so he could only take the money and help him do it with all his heart.


    Back in the room, Mrs. Chen looked at the two ingots of silver, both happy and worried, twenty taels, it was like pie in the sky, but, to make so many sausages, when will they be able to finish?


    Now they are quite busy.


    ¡°It¡¯s not just about making sausages, but eating too many sausages will make you tired,¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. She had already thought about this, what she would do for Yang Sheng. Another thing, ¡°Mom, I actually want to discuss something with you, let¡¯s hire someone!¡±


    Now their takeaway business can earn more than five renminbi a day. In this era, labor is cheap. Hiring a chef, depending on the level of the chef, ranges from four to two taels of silver a month. Hiring two handymen only costs two to three taels a month. Money and silver.


    They can totally hire people.


    ¡°Hire people?¡± Chen was surprised. She had never thought about this matter. In the past, only landlords and old men in the city would hire people. Would their family also hire people?


    ¡°We are so busy now that we don¡¯t have time to do other things. Jiang Lin and the others are still young, do they deliver meals and do odd jobs all their lives? Hiring a few people doesn¡¯t cost much money, and we can all get out.


    Mother and I can think about doing something else, and the money we earn will definitely be more than the cost of hiring people.


    Jiang Lin and the others, if you save more money, I want to send them to a regular private school. Gu Yanzhou will have an exam next year, so we can¡¯t delay them. ¡°Jiang Yunzhu explained. She asked Gu Yanzhou to teach them how to read at the beginning, it was just a stopgap measure.


    She said it one by one, with reasons and evidence. After listening to it, Mrs. Chen felt that it was true. It¡¯s true that the lights can¡¯t be turned on, and the words can¡¯t be understood. With her brain, why is she just staring at the little money in her hand and is reluctant to spend it.


    ¡°Let¡¯s discuss it with your father. If it doesn¡¯t work, let¡¯s hire someone.¡± Chen said.


    ¡°I heard everything, what Yunzhu said makes sense.¡± Jiang Cheng opened the door curtain and came in from the outside.


    Then this matter is settled like this, hire people, and it happens that people also need people to make sausages.


    The three of them immediately decided to go to the village chief¡¯s house. First, tell him what happened in the morning to reassure him, and thank him again for his help yesterday. Second, ask him if there is anyone in the village who wants to be a handyman. it is good.


    ¡°Is there any more stewed pear soup?¡± Before going out, Chen asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu understood what she meant, ¡°There is more.¡± The winter is dry and things are dry, especially yesterday Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi got angry a lot, this morning Jiang Yunzhu cooked pear soup by the way when making breakfast, and wanted to relieve the fire for everyone, now It doesn¡¯t matter.


    She went to the kitchen to fill a jar and carried it to Gu¡¯s family.


    Gu Yongde, Gu Yanzhou and Lin are all at home.


    ¡°Auntie, try the pear soup stewed in the morning.¡± Jiang Yunzhu handed the pear soup to Mrs. Lin.


    The pear soup is clear and sweet. In this winter, it looks moist.


    Lin took it over and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m ashamed to eat your food again.¡± Gu Yanzhou taught Jiang Yunzhu how to read, and Jiang Yunzhu sure enough made some delicious dishes every now and then and sent them to Gu¡¯s family.


    ¡°Auntie, you¡¯re welcome, it¡¯s all made at home.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Lin is holding the pear soup, and the more he looks at Jiang Yunzhu, the more he likes it. Gu Yanzhou is not young anymore, Gu Yongde and Lin have long wanted to tell him about a marriage, but after all, let alone Gu Yanzhou, both of them feel that those girls are not good enough for their son.


    His son is so handsome and educated, marrying a village woman who can¡¯t read?


    Jiang Yunzhu is different, she is beautiful and cooks well. Seeing what the Jiang family is doing now, she is jealous.


    Moreover, Jiang Yunzhu also learned calligraphy from Gu Yanzhou.


    Everything is a perfect match, and there is no such a good marriage anymore. Lin feels that Jiang Yunzhu is the daughter-in-law bestowed on their family by God.


    ¡°Yanzhou, what are you still doing standing there, go and get some Yunpian Cake bought yesterday, and give Yunzhu a taste.¡± Lin said to Gu Yanzhou.


    Gu Yanzhou smiled, with a pleasant appearance, he went in and brought out the cloud cake for Jiang Cheng and the others.


    The Yunpian Cake was as white as snow, Lin urged Jiang Cheng and the others to eat it, but they could only take one piece each, it was very sweet in the mouth.


    Then when it came to business, Jiang Cheng told Gu Yongde what happened this morning.


    Gu Yongde was amazed when he heard this, it was also the first time he had seen the government do things like this.


    The Jiang family has no relatives and no reason in Wuling County, so in the end, it can only be said that the Jiang family is lucky this time.


    Then when it came to the second matter, Gu Yongde pondered for a while, ¡°There are really no cooks in the village, handyman, do you want a boy or a girl?¡±


    Both Jiang Cheng and the Chen family looked at Jiang Yunzhu, and now she is in charge of many things in the family.


    ¡°Both men and women are fine.¡± Jiang Yunzhu replied. It is the work of delivering meals and picking vegetables, ¡°as long as you do things cleanly and neatly.¡± When they do catering, the first thing is to be clean, and then they are hardworking and willing to do it.


    The latter is probably a good quality all bosses want in their employees.


    ¡°By the way, if anyone who can read and write is willing to come, the treatment will be generous.¡± She added.


    ¡°Literate? It¡¯s really hard to find.¡± Gu Yongde said, literacy means that the family has money, so who will be a handyman.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you can¡¯t read or write.¡± Jiang Yunzhu also guessed that it was the case, so she didn¡¯t force it.


    ¡°Well.¡± Gu Yongde nodded, ¡°I think there are a few that are okay, let me tell you, if you are satisfied, I will help you to ask.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, village chief.¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled.


    Gu Yongde also likes Jiang Yunzhu, look, what a generous and sensible girl she is when she opens her mouth and keeps saying ¡°thank you¡±.


    He started to talk, the first one, Fang¡¯s family in the west of the village, Fang¡¯s fourth son, he hurt his waist working in the mine a few years ago, the mine paid him some money, but that money was enough to see a doctor and take medicine of.


    And his wife is also one.


    ¡°The Fang family is having a hard time now. These two are hardworking and capable people, but after the fourth brother Fang recovers from his injury, he is not used in the mine at all. You also know that in this mountain village, you can¡¯t enter the mine, and you can¡¯t make money at all. money.


    In fact, Fang Laosi¡¯s health is really fine. I saw him carrying grain last year. Think about how heavy the bag of grain is, he can carry it without any problem.


    But even if he is not used in the mine, it is too impersonal. Gu Yongde sighed. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t let Xu Qingshan go to the mine. The young and middle-aged people in the village made money from the mine, but many things happened to them. Who can guarantee that it won¡¯t happen to them.


    Jiang Yunzhu heard that he seemed to want to recommend the Fang family couple to her, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have said so much.


    Jiang Cheng listened beside him, feeling relieved. He had only worked in the mine for a month, but he saw a large ore fall with his own eyes, smashing a young man¡¯s leg. That person should also be someone else¡¯s son, husband, or even father, but he doesn¡¯t know how he will live in the future.


    At that time, he would occasionally think, what should he do if something happened to him?


    Fortunately¡­he looked at Jiang Yunzhu, comforted in his heart.


    He really wanted to meet Fang Lao Si, and if it was indeed what the village chief said, then it would be good to hire him. But he didn¡¯t say anything, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s business was still decided by her.


    Jiang Yunzhu had already seen Jiang Cheng¡¯s reaction in his eyes, but he listened quietly to Gu Yongde¡¯s finished talking about the remaining candidates.


    Sure enough, the couple from the Fang family were the most suitable couple. They both worked in the Jiang family and could help each other out.


    ¡°Can I meet the Fang family couple?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°Of course, do you want to meet now? I¡¯ll find it for you right away.¡± Gu Yongde heard that Jiang Yunzhu intends to hire the Fang family couple, and his face was full of joy. He helped find a job for him, but he couldn¡¯t find it. It¡¯s not a coincidence now.


    Don¡¯t dare to bother him, Jiang Yunzhu stood up, ¡°Why don¡¯t we go to Fang¡¯s house to see together.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Gu Yongde stood up.


    Everyone walked towards the west of the village and soon came to a family.


    This family is a bit strange. The house seems to be newly built a few years ago. It is big and well built, but the yard is very dilapidated. The two wooden doors are barely doors.


    ¡°Is the eldest nephew at home?¡± Gu Yongde shouted from a long distance away.


    There was movement in the house, and after a while, a man with a simple and honest face came out, followed by a somewhat haggard woman, followed by one, two, three or four children. The older ones look like eleven or twelve years old, while the younger ones can only walk.


    In ancient times, there were no family planning products, and the poor sometimes didn¡¯t want to have children, and they had to give birth after they became pregnant.


    ¡°Village Chief.¡± Fourth Fang called Gu Yongde, and then looked at Jiang Cheng and the others.


    ¡°They all live in the same village. You may have met, but you don¡¯t know each other.¡± Gu Yongde introduced the two parties, and then told Fang Laosi about Jiang¡¯s family wanting to hire handymen.


    Hearing this, the fourth Fang became excited. He said to Jiang Cheng, ¡°The injury on my waist has healed, and there is no problem with my work. I don¡¯t believe it, I don¡¯t believe it¡­¡± He looked around and saw a big stone at the door , Immediately go over to move that big rock.


    He thought Jiang Cheng was in charge of the Jiang family.


    Jiang Cheng hurriedly stopped him, his waist was fine at first with such a big stone, but if he hurts after moving this, it will be bad.


    Then Jiang Cheng looked at Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu was looking at Fang Laosi and his wife. They were wearing coarse cloth clothes, but the starch was very clean, and so were the children. You must know that children are the most likely to stain clothes, hands, and faces. up. But although the children of the Fang family looked a little thinner, they were all clean, even the youngest one.


    There was a kitchen in the yard, and she focused on looking into it. The pots and pans are all brushed clean and neatly arranged, and there is no sludge on the stove.


    This is very difficult, the farmer¡¯s big pot, firewood, cook casually, the oily smoke mixed with the dust on the firewood can cover the stove. Jiang Yunzhu thinks she loves cleaning very much, so she just does what the Fang family does. .


    She was quite satisfied with the couple, so she asked them if they would like to work in their home.


    Fang Laosi and his wife are 100% willing. There are many children in the family, and eating and drinking is a big problem.


    Jiang Yunzhu proposed to try the work for three days first, and if the two parties have no problems, they will be hired.


    What is the price? If two people come, it will be only six denarii.


    This price is really not low, it costs six dollars a month to go to the mine, but it is tiring and dangerous, besides, if you want to go to someone else, you don¡¯t have to be there. Now the husband and wife are working as handymen, and they have six renminbi in total. They are still close to home, which is really a good thing that can¡¯t be found even with a lantern.


    ¡°Thank you, thank you.¡± The Fang family couple were not good at words, they just kept thanking, after thanking Jiang Yunzhu, thanking Gu Yongde, and then even thanking Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi.


    ¡°Work hard, and later, build this yard too.¡± Gu Yongde told them.


    ¡°Yes, thank you, the village chief.¡± Fourth Fang began to thank people again.


    Jiang Yunzhu asked when they could go to work, and both of them couldn¡¯t wait to say that they could do it now.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought that he ran to the county today, and it happened that he was a little late for cooking at noon, so it would be nice to have their help, so he agreed.


    The two turned around and told the child a few words, and then they wanted to follow Jiang Yunzhu.


    At this moment, someone behind the courtyard wall asked, ¡°Are you from the Jiangji restaurant?¡±


    Everyone heard the words and looked over there.


    The walls of Fang¡¯s house are short, and one can see a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy standing in the yard next door. The boy¡¯s brows and eyes are lively, and the brows are somewhat similar to Gu Yanzhou. He is poking his head and looking this way.


    ¡°Little bastard, what are you doing!¡± Gu Yongde shouted as soon as he saw the boy.


    The young man ignored him, looked at Jiang Yunzhu, and asked, ¡°Do you want to hire someone?¡± He heard all of them in the yard just now, and knew that Jiang Yunzhu was the one who made the decision.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yunzhu replied.


    The boy looked her up and down and asked, ¡°How about hiring me?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at Gu Yongde, who is this?


    ¡°My nephew, don¡¯t study hard.¡± Gu Yongde said angrily, ¡°I¡¯ll tell your father later, see if your father doesn¡¯t beat you.¡±


    The young man grimaced, ¡°Uncle, I also want to be like Brother Yanzhou, whoever sees me will praise me, but I really can¡¯t read it. You don¡¯t even know, sitting there every day, I feel like I¡¯m being tortured.


    Sometimes I think, if I study all my life, I might as well let me die. ¡°


    ¡°Bah, you¡¯re so young, what¡¯s life and death, you just study hard for me.¡± Gu Yongde said, already planning to go there to teach others.


    The boy hurriedly begged Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Hire me, I can read and write, and can settle accounts, as long as you let me go¡­ Hey, uncle, uncle¡­¡± The boy ran away in a hurry.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at his back and smiled, this kid ran quite fast.

 Chapter 41

    Jiang Yunzhu and his party returned home and immediately started cooking lunch. Fang Laosi and his wife were nimble and rushed to do everything, Jiang Yunzhu and Chen Shi were much more relaxed.


    In the middle, that young man, Gu Qifeng, came again. He smelled the aroma of vegetables in the yard, salivated, and said to Jiang Yunzhu who was busy in the kitchen, ¡°You can hire me, I don¡¯t want so much wages, you just Give me two dollars a month, no, just one coin.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu took the time to glance at him, and refused without hesitation, ¡°No.¡±


    At his age, he was a child laborer, and his family expected him to study and take the imperial examinations. She hired him not just for nothing.


    ¡°Then I don¡¯t need wages, is it okay? You just need to take care of my three meals a day.¡± Gu Qifeng said.


    ¡°That won¡¯t work either,¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Gu Qifeng understood that she was determined not to hire him anymore, he looked around, his eyes rolled, and suddenly saw Jiang Lin at a glance, and immediately moved over.


    He was about the same age as Jiang Lin, and after a while, the two got together and whispered like friends.


    Jiang Lin was busy serving meals, and he helped, and Jiang Lin and Fang Laosi pushed the cart to deliver the meals, and he followed.


    Jiang Yunzhu frowned, and said to Mrs. Chen, ¡°Otherwise, tell their family later and let them take him back.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Chen agreed.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t pay attention to him anymore, he was a young man, after two days, he felt bored, so he should leave by himself.


    Every day, Jiang¡¯s cooking and delivering meals was like a war. Today, with Fang Laosi and his wife, it was very easy. Chen felt that everything Jiang Yunzhu did was justified.


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to be more relaxed. After dinner, she said to Jiang Cheng, ¡°Father, let¡¯s go to the county seat in a while and buy you a car. Also, I¡¯m going to the county seat to see if there is a suitable cook. By the way, I will buy some Pig small intestines and pork.¡± For sausages.


    Sausages need to be dried for a few days before they can be eaten. This must be done in advance.


    Yang Sheng¡¯s order, based on the normal price, twenty taels of Jiang¡¯s family can earn seven or eight taels. Jiang Yunzhu is not sure whether he and Shen Fengming helped them with Wei Kangping¡¯s matter, but decided to give him a little bit of a bargain.


    In this way, they can earn four or five taels, more than enough to buy a car.


    Jiang Cheng¡¯s face was full of surprises, with a car, he could do a lot of work!


    ¡°By the way, there is one more thing. Let grandpa go to the city with us later. I want to see a doctor to look at his eyes.¡± Jiang Yunzhu has always kept this matter in her heart, but it was difficult for her family before, so she couldn¡¯t say it.


    Now this matter should be put on the agenda.


    Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi listened, feeling both comfort and guilt in their hearts, why didn¡¯t they think of this, as children, they neglected so much!


    In fact, it¡¯s not their fault. They also took Mr. Chen to see a doctor in the early years, but he hasn¡¯t recovered after taking the medicine.


    Later, Mr. Chen himself didn¡¯t want to treat him anymore, so they let it go.


    Now that life is getting better and better, Chen feels that it is really time to find a good doctor for Mr. Chen.


    The three of them went to see Mr. Chen together and told him about the matter.


    They missed him so much, Mr. Chen felt warm in his heart, but he just waved his hands. After so many years, he was used to it. He can live for a few more years, why spend that wronged money!


    Of course, the three of Jiang Cheng didn¡¯t agree, so they dragged Mr. Chen out together.


    Let¡¯s go buy a car first, it¡¯s easy to do if you have money, and picked a relatively large shop, Jiang Cheng quickly took a fancy to a car. It happened to lead the mule, put it on and try it, it was just right.


    ¡°Is this the only car?¡± Jiang Cheng asked Jiang Yunzhu inquiringly.


    Jiang Yunzhu was fine, and gave the shopkeeper four taels of silver.


    This time they had a mule cart, Jiang Cheng was driving the mule cart, Jiang Yunzhu and old man Chen were sitting in the cart, happily walking towards the south of the city.


    They just inquired with the store owner that the best doctor in the county is Doctor Jin from Yongshoutang. They heard that he came back from the capital and has extraordinary medical skills.


    Jiang Yunzhu was looking forward to this visit to the doctor. Mr. Chen listened, his heart turned a little bit, people who could see before suddenly couldn¡¯t see, that kind of pain is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.


    If he could open his eyes and look at the world again, he felt that he would die without regret.


    As expected of the best doctor in the county, it costs a tael of silver to see a doctor, and there is a long queue for that.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you watch it, let¡¯s go back.¡± Mr. Chen backed off.


    ¡°Father, it¡¯s hard to come here.¡± Jiang Cheng looked at the people in front and behind, and said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°I¡¯ll just line up here. You can take your grandfather to the mule cart to rest for a while. When it¡¯s time for us to line up, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Calling you.¡± Now he is in good spirits on happy occasions, and he speaks with wind.


    In winter, the street is cold and windy. If you stand still here, you will be blown through in a while. Jiang Cheng thought he was strong and not afraid, but Jiang Yunzhu and Mr. Chen couldn¡¯t stand it.


    Jiang Yunzhu agreed, and helped Mr. Chen back to the mule cart.


    As soon as the two sat down in the mule cart, another carriage came over there, and the carriage stopped right beside them.


    The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a beautiful lady. That beautiful woman looks about twenty, with high temples, scorpion head and crescent eyebrows, and a graceful appearance, she really looks like a fairy of Gushe. In particular, she was wearing a white shirt and white flowers on her head, as if she was keeping a filial piety for someone, and she looked even more noble and awe-inspiring.


    Because of the angle, Jiang Yunzhu happened to be able to see her face, so she couldn¡¯t help but take a second look. After all, everyone likes to look at good-looking people.


    Ji Sanniang also saw Jiang Yunzhu, she froze for a moment, then nodded to Jiang Yunzhu, showing a faint smile.


    Jiang Yunzhu was a little surprised, she seemed not easy to get close to, but she didn¡¯t expect to be so kind to her.


    She also smiled at her, like the sunshine in spring.


    Ji Sanniang looked away, took out a prescription and handed it to the driver, ¡°Song Li, go grab the medicine.¡±


    ¡°Yes, ma¡¯am.¡± Song Li took the prescription and entered Yongshou Hall.


    Then, the carriage curtain was lowered.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t take this matter to heart, it was just a chance meeting.


    Sitting in the car, she looked around and saw a wonton stand across the street. The wonton seller was a little woman, very pretty, and with her fair skin, she looked quite pretty.


    People who eat wontons, passersby, and people look at her from time to time.


    Jiang Yunzhu was surprised, what happened today, unexpectedly met a good-looking person.


    She looked at the busy little woman and the steaming soup pot, and planned whether she would come to the county to develop next. The business of the mine was just like that. It would be better if a restaurant could be built at the foot of the mountain, but she had inquired that the land at the foot of the mountain was all owned by the imperial court, and the people were not allowed to occupy it privately, only for takeaway.


    Coming to the county seat¡­ one is to have capital, and the other is to think about what kind of business to do.


    In fact, coming to the county seat is also good, at least it is convenient to buy anything.


    Jiang Yunzhu was thinking wildly, when he saw a man at the corner of the wonton stand turning his head to look around while touching his body with his hands, and soon, he put something into a bowl.


    Then he patted the table and said, ¡°Boss, your wontons are not clean!¡±


    The little woman selling wontons was startled, she hurried over, looked into the bowl in front of him, and saw a finger-long hair in it, she immediately said softly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll help you change a bowl .¡±


    ¡°Change a bowl? I didn¡¯t realize I had hair until I finished eating. Now I feel sick and want to vomit. Can you change the bowl for me, can I eat it?¡± the man shouted.


    The little woman turned pale, ¡°Then I won¡¯t charge you money.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s over if you don¡¯t charge money? I¡¯ve said it all. I feel sick and want to vomit now. Who knows if there is something else in your wonton.¡± After finishing speaking, he actually yelled, ¡°Everyone come and see Look, something came out of the wonton.


    This stall is not clean, you have to look at your bowls, there are no cockroaches and bugs, eat half and leave half in the bowl, how disgusting.


    I was killed by them, and now I feel uncomfortable all over. ¡°


    What he said was disgusting, what does it mean to eat half and keep half, all the customers at the stall looked into their bowls, although they didn¡¯t see anything, they couldn¡¯t eat anymore.


    The little woman was so anxious that her face was sweating, she begged in a low voice, ¡°Guest, it¡¯s my fault.¡±


    ¡°As long as you know it¡¯s your fault, lose money.¡±


    ¡°How much will you pay?¡± The little woman had tears in her eyes, looking very charming.


    The man originally only wanted to extort money, but when he saw this scene, he stretched out his hand to grab the little woman¡¯s arm, ¡°The county master will decide how much to pay, come on, come with me to see the official.¡±


    Of course he didn¡¯t dare to meet the official, he just wanted to take advantage of the little woman. If this little woman is weaker and more deceitful, he will coax her to a place where no one is around, hehe¡­


    Jiang Yunzhu saw everything in her eyes, and felt annoyed in her heart. She also sells food, and she hates this kind of person the most.


    ¡°What are you doing!¡± she said.


    She suddenly made a sound, which startled Li Quan. When he raised his eyes, he saw a pretty girl opposite him, and he immediately became ostentatious again.


    ¡°There is something in the wonton, I want her to go with me to a reasonable place.¡± Li Quan said, and pulled the little woman¡¯s arm again.


    Jiang Yunzhu pulled the little woman to his side, and said coldly, ¡°Where can I make sense? I¡¯ll go to the county government with you, do you dare to go? I just saw clearly from the opposite side, the hair you took out from your body and put it Those who put it in the bowl are still slandering the stall owner?¡±


    Li Quan immediately changed his face, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m talking nonsense?¡± Jiang Yunzhu picked up the bowl of wontons, and saw that the wontons inside were eaten clean, and there was only half a bowl of soup left. A black hair-floating on it was very conspicuous.


    Immediately she got the idea, and said to everyone, ¡°Everyone, take a look, this is with hair floating on top of the soup. If it was really done by the stall owner, then this person should have seen it when he got this bowl of wontons. Why eat it?¡± Didn¡¯t find out until now?


    Besides, I am not related to the stall owner, so there is no need to speak for her.


    It is true that I saw this person throwing hair into a bowl and wanted to blackmail him, so I made a sound.


    We also have wives and daughters. What is the idea of a man bullying a woman like this? ¡°


    Li Quan was poked in the sore foot, and looked at Jiang Yunzhu angrily, ¡°You!¡±


    The guests were stunned, and some of them stood up and looked into the bowl. It was exactly as Jiang Yunzhu said, and they didn¡¯t understand that Li Quan was deliberately blackmailing people.


    ¡°Yunzhu.¡± Jiang Cheng was queuing up there, and suddenly heard the noise from this side, so he hurried to this side.


    Seeing that something was wrong, Li Quan jumped into the alley next to him like a fish, and while running, he said, ¡°There is no reason to reason. You just wait for me, sooner or later you will see me.¡±


    When Jiang Cheng came over and wanted to chase after him, there was no sign of Li Quan.


    He could only come back bitterly, and asked Jiang Yunzhu with concern, ¡°Are you all right?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu shook her head, she was fine, but this little woman¡­ She looked at the little woman, she was too weak, she was easily bullied by setting up a stall to sell food.


    ¡°This stall belongs to my husband, he is sick.¡± Ruan Shi was afraid and grateful at the same time, choked up and said to Jiang Yunzhu.


    No wonder, Jiang Yunzhu understood, ¡°Then you should be more careful in the future.¡± There will definitely be people like just now in the future. Speaking of which, the business environment at the mine is pretty good, and there are no idlers like Li Quan.


    Ruan quickly nodded and thanked her more than ever.


    Jiang Yunzhu shook her head, there was only so much she could help her.


    She and Jiang Cheng were about to leave, when a male voice asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu saw it and recognized him. This person was the driver of the beautiful woman in the carriage, and his name seemed to be Song Li. He was carrying a medicine bag in his hand, and it seemed that he had grabbed medicine from Yongshou Hall.


    At this time, there were many people around, and those people were indignant for a moment, so they rushed to tell Song Li what happened just now.


    After Song Li listened, he turned around and left.


    It made everyone a little confused, what is he? Listening to the opera, even if you are listening to the opera, you should give a reaction before leaving!


    Jiang Yunzhu was also quite surprised.


    But after a while, Song Li came back again, and he took out a piece of silver and handed it to Ruan Shi, ¡°My wife said, don¡¯t set up a stall for now, let¡¯s talk about your husband¡¯s illness first.¡±


    That ingot of silver was worth five taels, and the silver light was so shiny that even the people around looked at it with envious eyes.


    Ruan was even more panicked, ¡°How can this work? I can¡¯t take it.¡±


    ¡°Madam gave it to you, you take it.¡± Song Li handed the money to Ruan Shi.


    Ruan knows that she met a good man today, there are still two, first Jiang Yunzhu, then this lady. She wanted to thank the lady. Although people don¡¯t necessarily want to hear it, it¡¯s the only thing she can do.


    ¡°Madam doesn¡¯t like being disturbed by others.¡± Song Li directly rejected Ruan Shi.


    Ruan was at a loss as to what to do with the silver.


    Song Li said to Jiang Yunzhu again at this time, ¡°Madam told me to tell you, don¡¯t meddle in your own business from now on, or else someone will touch your house in the middle of the night, what are you going to do!¡±


    After saying this, he turned around and left. After a while, he got into the carriage and drove away.


    Jiang Yunzhu stood there, slowly frowning, why did she feel that what he said just now had no deep meaning?


    ¡°Yunzhu, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m here!¡± Jiang Cheng thought Jiang Yunzhu was afraid, so he comforted her.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Jiang Yunzhu nodded.


    Everyone dispersed, and Ruan decided to listen to the lady¡¯s advice, and stop setting up a stall after selling these wontons today, so as to save Li Quan from making trouble again.


    But she didn¡¯t know that at this time Li Quan was in an alley, his legs had already been broken, and he would not be able to get off the ground in a few months.


    Jiang Cheng continued to go back to line up, and after half an hour, it was finally their turn to see the doctor.


    Dr. Jin carefully checked Mr. Chen¡¯s eyes and shook his head. The old man is getting old. If he comes to him just after getting sick, he can cure him with 50% chance. Until now, there is basically no cure.


    ¡°I¡¯ll prescribe a few medicines for you, go back and take them and try them. If they don¡¯t work, you don¡¯t need to waste any more money.¡± Looking at the clothes of Jiang Cheng and the others, he knew that their families were not rich, so he said so.


    Mr. Chen was disappointed in his heart, but he didn¡¯t show it. He expected it earlier, didn¡¯t he?


    Jiang Cheng was also very disappointed.


    Jiang Yunzhu was still not quite reconciled, thinking about finding a better doctor after saving money in the future. But she didn¡¯t say anything.


    It took a lot of time to see a doctor, Jiang Yunzhu decided not to go to the dental clinic today, bought pig intestines and pork, and went home first.


    On the way, when she saw the mule pulling the cart, she suddenly remembered Song Li¡¯s words, and a flash of light flashed in her mind, Wei Kangping, Wei Kangping hasn¡¯t been caught yet, won¡¯t he touch their house in the middle of the night to take revenge on them?


    Although this suspicion was groundless, she couldn¡¯t help but think so.


    What would they do if he came?


    When Jiang Yunzhu arrived home, it happened that Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng were about to go out on horseback. She looked up and saw them, and saw Shen Fengming sitting on the horse, with sharp eyebrows and eyes. Although Yang Sheng had a smile on his face, he had a sense of foreboding on his body .


    She suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of security, the two of them were here, even if a hundred Wei Kangping came, it would be fine!


    Thinking of this, she opened her mouth and asked, ¡°When will you be back?¡±


    As soon as she said this, both Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming were stunned. In the past, she never cared about where they were going or when they would come back. What about today?


    Yang Sheng looked at Shen Fengming jokingly.


    Shen Fengming looked at Jiang Yunzhu, there seemed to be something dripping from the bottom of his eyes, ¡°Should be back at night.¡± He said.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Jiang Yunzhu felt that he should add ¡°come back soon¡±, but when he thought about who was on the other side, he decided to forget it.


    In the evening, when Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng came back, Mrs. Chen was decocting medicine for Mr. Chen, and there was a smell of medicine in the yard.


    It was already late at night, Shen Fengming suddenly asked Yang Sheng, ¡°Did Wu Yixian show up in Hangzhou last year?¡±


    Wu Yixian, whose real name is Wu Xingwei, because his medical skills are too high and his whereabouts are elusive, everyone calls him Wu Yixian.


    Hearing this, Yang Sheng thought of Mr. Chen¡¯s eyes, and said, ¡°Yes, but that old man doesn¡¯t even give the emperor face. Why, do you want to invite him over?¡± If he remembered correctly, the old man I was very annoyed by Qilinwei, I felt that Qilinwei hurt Tianhe, especially Shen Fengming, who killed so many people.


    Shen Fengming wants to invite someone, but he is afraid that he won¡¯t be able to.


    Of course, there is no need to ask, just tie people over.


    But what about after we come here? You can¡¯t force people to see a doctor for Mr. Chen.


    The old man has a very strange temper.


    Suddenly he laughed again, ¡°The old man is greedy and loves to play, and Miss Jiang is clever and delicious, maybe it¡¯s really good.¡±


    At this time, he thought about the appearance of the goddess Jiang Yunzhu. He had been curious about it, but he couldn¡¯t find a suitable opportunity to ask.

 Chapter 42

    When Jiang Yunzhu woke up the next day, Jiang Cheng had already pulled his feet back and was feeding the mules in the yard with a happy face.


    This morning, he earned twenty-five Wen.


    This amount of money may not be much compared to what Jiang Yunzhu earns, but he thinks that Jiang Yunzhu is right, the prospect of pulling feet is very good, and if he makes more money in the future, he will be able to make more money by buying more mules and horses.


    At this time, Mrs. Chen had already prepared breakfast, rolling out steaming hot noodles by hand.


    Jiang Lin and others have also gotten up, feeding the chickens and cleaning the yard.


    Jiang Yunzhu stood at the door, watching the thriving scene, with a smile on his face unconsciously.


    After eating, go to the county to hire a cook.


    Now that Jiang Cheng has a mule cart, he will naturally send Jiang Yunzhu there.


    The two came to a dental office, and they were received by a middle-aged man who looked a bit gentle.


    The man didn¡¯t despise Jiang Yunzhu just because she was a girl, and asked her what she needed.


    Jiang Yunzhu told her request that she would hire one or two chefs. What¡¯s more special is that her business is in Changshi Village, so the chef has to consider the location. Also, if she signs a contract with the chef, she must sign it for ten years. If the chef goes back on his word, he will pay her one hundred taels of silver and promise not to be a chef within three years.


    Her first one is okay, but the second one, the middle-aged man frowned, this requirement is too harsh, in this case, ¡°Girl might as well just buy a chef.¡± In this way, the person is hers.


    Jiang Yunzhu also thought, is there no money? A good chef costs at least twenty taels of silver, and is very sought after. She wanted to try to hire one first, and if she couldn¡¯t find one, she could only save money to see if she could buy a suitable one in the future.


    After the middle-aged man asked, he actually guessed that Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t afford it anymore, so he asked again, ¡°Can the second condition be relaxed?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu shook her head. The chef worked in her place, and it was easy to learn her dishes. She didn¡¯t want her same dishes to appear in other restaurants in the future. If not, she would prefer not to be hired.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll ask the girl.¡± The middle-aged man stood up helplessly, and didn¡¯t have much hope for this business.


    Two quarters of an hour later, the middle-aged man shook his head as soon as he entered the door. No one wants to go to a village, and he will go there for ten years.


    Jiang Yunzhu was not surprised, she came today to try her luck.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry to trouble you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, put a few copper coins on the table, it was hard work, and then stood up to leave.


    At this time, the middle-aged man said unwillingly, ¡°Wait a minute, there is another person, but he hasn¡¯t come to the dentist recently, I don¡¯t know if he has found a job or what. If the girl is willing to wait, I have his address here , I¡¯ll go ask him.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu paused, she felt that this matter had little hope, and actually didn¡¯t want to bother him anymore.


    ¡°That man lives on Willow Street, not far from here. If the girl goes out of the city, she just passes by his house.¡± The middle-aged man said.


    Speaking of this, Jiang Yunzhu could only agree. At last the three of them went out of the room together towards Willow Street. If this person is not suitable, Jiang Yunzhu and Jiang Cheng will go directly to the vegetable market to buy something and go home.


    A narrow alley, two dilapidated wooden doors, a middle-aged man knocked on the door.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Someone said inside, and then there were footsteps. Soon, the door opened, revealing a handsome face.


    Jiang Yunzhu and the owner of this face were stunned at the same time.


    Soon, the owner of the face said excitedly, ¡°Girl, you are here, come in and have a seat.¡± This person is none other than Ruan Shi who set up a wonton stall yesterday.


    Jiang Yunzhu just felt that the world was too small, why did he meet yesterday and meet again today.


    ¡°You know each other?¡± The middle-aged man asked in surprise.


    ¡°Yes, this girl helped me yesterday.¡± Ruan Shi pulled Jiang Yunzhu into the room.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the middle-aged man. Could this Ruan be the cook he was talking about?


    No, it was Ruan¡¯s husband Xue Jing who was looking for an errand in the tooth shop. Xue Jing was originally the cook of Yunhe Tower in the county, but the owner of Yunhe Tower was not well managed and closed more than a month ago.


    Xue Jing wanted to find another errand, so he went to the tooth shop.


    It just hasn¡¯t been right.


    Later, he discussed with Ruan Shi, otherwise he would do it himself. With his craftsmanship, it should be fine.


    The rent of shops in the county town was high, and they couldn¡¯t afford it, so they decided to start by setting up a stall to sell wontons.


    If you think well, you will open a store if you make money.


    But setting up a stall is not that simple. Some people can be a good cook, but they may not be a good boss.


    Xue Jing is the latter, he has a quick temper and is not good at speaking, so he can¡¯t win over the guests at all.


    Seeing that the business has been tepid, he even got angry and blew a little cool breeze, and fell ill.


    So there was the matter of Ruan selling wontons for him.


    ¡°Thank you, thank you.¡± Hearing that Jiang Yunzhu was the one who helped Ruan¡¯s siege yesterday, Xue Jing hurriedly thanked her. His complexion is still not good, but his condition has improved, and it is estimated that he will be almost gone after taking the medicine for a few days.


    ¡°It¡¯s a little thing, if others see it, they will do it too.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Xue Jing disagreed. He knew that most people would choose to remain silent for various reasons when encountering such a situation, but Jiang Yunzhu, a girl who can speak up for justice, is commendable.


    They were chatting here, and the middle-aged man in the dental shop was anxious. He came to facilitate the signing of the contract between the two parties to get paid, so he quickly interjected and told Jiang Yunzhu that he wanted to hire a chef.


    It turned out to be like this, Xue Jing and Ruan Shi looked at each other.


    ¡°I¡¯ll drop by to have a look. If you don¡¯t want to find a job, don¡¯t force it,¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. It was really easy yesterday, and she didn¡¯t want to repay her kindness.


    ¡°Otherwise let this girl see your craftsmanship, and then you can talk about the conditions. There is no absolute thing in this world.¡± The middle-aged man thought that there might be a door, so he tried his best to make it happen.


    Xue Jing got up and went to the kitchen. He is best at stir-frying. With ready-made ingredients in the kitchen, he moves like flying with a knife, and then stir-fries vigorously. After a while, a plate of fried cabbage comes out of the pan.


    Stir-frying is the most important thing about the heat. It needs to be stir-fried with a strong fire and pan gas, so that the dish will have a taste.


    Jiang Yunzhu watched from the side, and found that his body was still a little weak, but his cooking skills were very good, so he began to worry about it.


    After tasting the cabbage with chopsticks, she was sure of what she was thinking.


    ¡°Otherwise, I will cook a dish for you to try.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Afterwards, she also made a stir-fried cabbage in the hot iron pot.


    She had studied with three chefs in the Anping Hou Mansion, and those chefs were all well-known chefs in Luzhou and even Zhongnan. Later, when she went to the capital, she learned from famous chefs in the capital for a period of time, and her skills had reached the point of proficiency.


    ¡°Money weighs on slaves, art beats on pedestrians¡±, this sentence is not wrong at all. In the eyes of others, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s cooking is beautiful, and every action is so pleasing to the eye, but Xue Jing gasped after seeing it.


    He studied under a master chef in Luzhou Xiangkelou, and he thought that his cooking skills were already very good, but today he saw Jiang Yunzhu cooking, and he knew what the gap was. Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s every step, every fire, is just right.


    His eyes were shining brightly, while watching, he compared in his heart how he did it, where was the gap with her, and how could he make up for it, and he was suddenly infatuated.


    ¡°Try it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. The fried cabbage is steaming hot.


    Xue Jing woke up like a dream, and then he ignored others and put a piece of cabbage in his mouth first. The entrance is fresh and fragrant, followed by the sweet taste of cabbage itself, refreshing and endless aftertaste.


    Stir-fried cabbage is still difficult to deal with, that is, the leaves of the cabbage are thin, but the side of the cabbage is thick and watery. called perfect.


    ¡°How did you do it?¡± Xue Jing asked immediately.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled without saying a word.


    Xue Jing also immediately realized that he was too abrupt, these cooking secrets, even if it is a master, no one may teach you, let alone a stranger.


    Xue Jing¡¯s face was flushed. Firstly, he was still ill, and secondly, he was too excited.


    The middle-aged man at the tooth store saw Youmen, so he said to him, ¡°This girl has two conditions for hiring a chef.¡± He told Jiang Yunzhu those two conditions.


    The first one is nothing, but the second one, he asked five chefs just now, two of them let him go, and the other three flatly rejected him, so he was still very nervous to say this condition to Xue Jing.


    There was no surprise on Xue Jing¡¯s face, he understood that Jiang Yunzhu was afraid that his dishes would be leaked. Suddenly, he thought again, Jiang Yunzhu meant that if he went to cook for her, would she teach him a few dishes?


    His face turned redder, and his heart beat faster unconsciously. As a chef, what is indispensable is firstly superb craftsmanship, and secondly, having his own exclusive dishes. He thought he was very good at first, but looking at it now, he was not far behind at all, and secondly, he didn¡¯t even have it.


    If you follow Jiang Yunzhu¡­


    He immediately agreed to be Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s cook, but he is not a teenager after all, he has a wife to support, and will have children in the future, so they can¡¯t be allowed to suffer with him.


    ¡°Salary?¡± He asked Jiang Yunzhu coyly.


    ¡°How much did you pay for a month in Yunhe Tower?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°Nine coins.¡± Xue Jing replied.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt the same way, ¡°I¡¯ll give you one or two taels of silver a month, and in these ten years, based on your performance, the minimum increase will be half a tenth a month every year. After ten years, I won¡¯t care whether you stay or stay.


    Also, I can rent a house for you in the village so that you have a place to live. ¡°


    Half achievement is half of ten percent, five percent, which should be the common standard for modern annual salary increases. Rent a house, because we have lunch and dinner, and Changshi Village is far away from the county seat, Xue Jing will definitely not be able to come back after dinner.


    Houses in the village are not expensive, so if people come to work in remote places, they must prepare a place to live.


    Afraid that he would not agree, Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°In the future, maybe I will come to the county to open a store. Then it will be much more convenient for you to follow me.¡±


    In fact, she didn¡¯t say this, Xue Jing already wanted to agree, and now, he looked at Ruan Shi.


    Ruan Shi didn¡¯t understand what he meant, and immediately nodded towards him. In the past two days since she set up a stall, she also understands that she and Xue Jing are not in business anymore. Jiang Yunzhu is a good person and has good craftsmanship, so it¡¯s good to follow her.


    The main thing is to be safe and not to think about those miscellaneous things. Ten years is a **** for Xue Jing, so it is not a promise.


    Just like that, Xue Jing signed the employment contract in a daze. After ten years, he sold himself for ten years like this. But it seems that he is not afraid or worried, he just wants to get better soon so that he can watch Jiang Yunzhu cook.


    In fact, Jiang Yunzhu also noticed just now that Xue Jing is very eager to study and study. Give him a chance, his future is limitless.


    And she needs someone like him.


    He paid the middle-aged man a commission, and then made an agreement with Xue Jing that he would come to Jiang¡¯s house to work immediately after he recovered from his illness. Jiang Yunzhu bought a lot of things in the county town and went home with Jiang Cheng.


    This trip to the county town was very successful.


    When I got home, I found that there was a guest at home, it was the Liu family.


    Liu¡¯s eyes were still red, but there was a smile on his face.


    Seeing Jiang Yunzhu coming back, she immediately stood up, ¡°Yunzhu, you¡¯re back.¡±


    ¡°Well, when did your aunt come?¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled back.


    ¡°I¡¯ve just been here for a while. By the way, come and try on this dress.¡± Liu Shi said, opening a bag beside her, and took out a dress from it and handed it to Jiang Yunzhu.


    The thin persimmon-colored dress, with snow-white rabbit fur rolling around the neckline and cuffs, was embroidered with the green luan pattern on the clothes. From Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s eyes, he also thought this dress was very beautiful.


    ¡°Auntie, what is this?¡± Jiang Yunzhu suddenly understood why Liu¡¯s eyes were so red, and she stayed up all night making clothes.


    Indeed, when she went back that day, Liu Shi was thinking about how to compensate Jiang Yunzhu, and later, she wanted to make her clothes.


    ¡°It¡¯s for you, try it on.¡± Liu Shi said.


    ¡°How can this be done?¡± Jiang Yunzhu saw that the material of the clothes was very good, and it belonged to Liu¡¯s orphans and widows¡­


    ¡°I¡¯ve already done it. If you don¡¯t wear it, I¡¯ll feel even worse.¡± Liu Shi said.


    When she said that, Mrs. Chen also persuaded her, so Jiang Yunzhu could only hug her clothes and go to the back room to change.


    After a while, she changed her dress and came out.


    The moment the door curtain was lifted, both Liu Shi and Chen Shi were stunned. They both knew that Jiang Yunzhu was good-looking, but this person is so beautiful and indescribable¡­


    ¡°Mother, how is Aunt Liu?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    In fact, she thinks the waist of this dress is a bit too thin, and she prefers a looser and more comfortable one. But don¡¯t pick and choose the clothes that people kindly send, it will make people feel cold.


    ¡°It¡¯s beautiful.¡± ¡°It¡¯s beautiful.¡± Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Chen said one after another.


    Chen stood up, took Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s hand, and looked up and down. No matter how hard she looked, she couldn¡¯t get enough of it. Is this her daughter? This is her daughter, her beautiful daughter.


    ¡°I feel that the empress in the palace is not as good-looking as Yunzhu.¡± Liu Shi praised. Of course she has never seen the empress in the palace, but in her heart, the empress in the palace should be the most beautiful woman in the world, but she is not as good as Jiang Yunzhu.


    Chen Shi listened and became even happier.


    Jiang Yunzhu was about to say something, but she suddenly felt something, and looked into the courtyard, only to see Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng standing there, looking at her. Neither of them knew when they would come back.


    Originally, it was just a soft and graceful side profile, with beautiful mountains and mountains, slender and unparalleled, but when she turned around, a face surrounded by snow-white rabbit fur was revealed, pink and greasy, with full eyebrows and eyes, like tender pistils.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart beat twice, because Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes were too dark at the moment, as if he wanted to swallow her up.


    Yang Cheng wanted to pat Shen Fengming on the shoulder and say a few words of admiration, he heard that his breathing was heavy, just like that, he still managed to hold it back, he is indeed his good boss Wannian Hanbing.


    When is he like this, when will he embrace the beauty?


    He suddenly wanted to laugh, so he said with a smile, ¡°It is indeed prettier than the empress in the palace.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu: ¡­She was lucky enough to meet the empress in the palace!


    Yang Sheng took a few steps forward, and said again, ¡°The clothes are nice, but unfortunately there are no jewelry.¡± Speaking of the last sentence, he glanced at Shen Fengming with some meaning.


    Jiang Yunzhu just wanted to quickly end the topic, ¡°I¡¯ll go back to the room and change my clothes.¡± She turned and entered the room.


    When she came back, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng were still there, but they had already talked about other topics, and she happened to ask Yang Sheng something, ¡°The sausage is almost ready, and it can be eaten after drying for a while, and the rest is waiting for you.¡± Do it before you go, or?¡±


    ¡°Do it first, and when it¡¯s done, I¡¯ll send it back immediately.¡± Yang Sheng said anxiously.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t care, and decided to start working today.


    In fact, these things are worth twenty taels, but they can be sent all the way back to the capital by a special person, and the travel expenses are more than enough.


    Yang Sheng also wanted to ask Jiang Yunzhu something, but he was worried about how to ask. Suddenly, he remembered that the goddess appeared that day, and many people saw it, so it makes sense for him to see it, right?


    So he asked Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Before I left last time, I saw the goddess of Xifeng Mountain appear. What do you think is going on?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu paused, raised her eyes to look at him, and found that there was no strange color on his face, and she let go of a raised heart. She didn¡¯t expect to hide that matter from Qilin Wei, but she was just asking for incense for the temple, so it should be nothing. .


    Maybe he was just curious?


    Jiang Yunzhu decided to make it clear, ¡°I also saw the appearance of a goddess, but it was too illusory. It reminded me of one thing. I have seen shadow puppets before and found it very interesting. Later, I found out that if there is a small hole in the window, standing behind the window , holding a smooth and white object in his hand, on which the reflection of the candle can be seen.


    It feels a bit like that, but I¡¯m just guessing, maybe it¡¯s really a goddess. ¡°


    In fact, it is small hole imaging. The mountain behind Xifeng Mountain, with its cliffs like a mirror, is suitable for this.


    What kind of goddess appears, in fact, even the image is very blurred, which is far worse than modern projection technology.


    She deliberately arranged people to stir up the atmosphere, saying that it was true that the goddess appeared.


    When she said that, Yang Sheng immediately became interested, and wanted to play with things for himself.


    At this time, Shen Fengming said, ¡°There is a saying in the Mo Jing, ¡®A person of light is as bright as a shot. Those who are lower are also taller, and those who are taller are also lower. The feet cover the lower light, so the scene is above; the head covers the upper.¡± Light, so the scenery is formed from below. There are ends and light in the distance, so it is also in the scenery storehouse.¡¯¡±


    The translation of this passage not only describes the appearance of pinhole imaging, but also summarizes its laws.


    Jiang Yunzhu really didn¡¯t expect that Mozi had already recorded this, and Shen Fengming knew about it.


    Yang Sheng looked thoughtful, ¡°Is that so? Why don¡¯t I know.¡±


    ¡°When you were in school, you slept more than you were awake.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Yang Sheng: ¡­


    The author has something to say:


    A man of light, Xu Ruoshe. Those who are lower are also higher, and those who are taller are also lower. The feet cover the lower light, so the scenery is above; the head covers the upper light, so the scenery is below. There is end and light in the distance, and it is also in the library of old scenery. ¨CFrom ¡°Mo Jing¡±

 Chapter 43

    Yang Sheng went to tinker with the experiment, Shen Fengming went out again, Jiang Yunzhu sat down and continued chatting with Chen and Liu.


    ¡°What are your plans for the future?¡± Mrs. Chen asked Mrs. Liu.


    ¡°I¡¯m familiar with that yard, and I don¡¯t want to move anymore, so I signed a new contract with the landlord to continue living there,¡± Liu said.


    Chen wasn¡¯t surprised, but the rent of a house in the county must be expensive, how would she live?


    ¡°I want to embroider some things for sale.¡± Liu Shi said a little nervously, this was just her idea, and she didn¡¯t know if it would work.


    Chen thinks it should be done, but she doesn¡¯t know the situation in the county, so she can¡¯t talk nonsense.


    ¡°Auntie can definitely do it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. As far as the skirt that Liu Shi made for her, she can tell that she is excellent in embroidery and has a high quality and heart. There is definitely a future in making embroidery and even making clothes in the future.


    After hearing this, Mrs. Chen smiled and said to Mrs. Liu, ¡°Yunzhu said you can do it, so you can definitely do it. If you need help in the future, just come to us.¡±


    Mrs. Liu was very moved when she heard this, and nodded her head heavily, showing a little more hope for the future.


    ¡°If you have anything I can help you with, you must come to me,¡± she said.


    At noon when the Jiang family was busy, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng heard the familiar bird call and went out.


    In a depression in the back mountain, a group of Qilin guards led horses and stood there obsessively. They rushed over day and night, although they were exhausted, but everyone stood upright, like pines and cypresses, with bright eyes, as if there was a flame burning in them.


    ¡°See Commander, Deputy Commander!¡± Seeing Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng, a group of people knelt down in unison, their voices were excited and sincere.


    No matter what outsiders think of Shen Fengming, in their hearts, Commander-in-Chief is the person they are willing to follow and look up to all their lives.


    Killing corrupt officials and dignitaries, if there is any trace of justice in this world, it must be their commanding lord; he went into the barbarian lair alone and rescued their brothers. His face was cold, but they knew that his blood was hot. of.


    They are willing to be the knife in his hand, the sharpest knife, and the point of the blade is the direction they are moving forward.


    A hundred deaths without regret!


    ¡°Not bad.¡± Yang Sheng glanced at everyone and smiled.


    Although he has his own selfishness in choosing to handle this case, since he is here, he will finish the case properly.


    At this time, on a government road in Wuling County, a group of people came over, there were more than two hundred people.


    On a nearby hill, Ji Sanniang was standing there, the wind blowing her white skirt, as if she was about to fly away.


    ¡°Song Li, do you think this is a chance God gave me?¡± She stared at the group of people, especially the young man on a horse in the middle, and suddenly said.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am.¡± Song Li¡¯s face was full of worry, ¡°That man has so many guards and servants by his side¡­¡± It¡¯s not easy for them to succeed.


    But Ji Sanniang didn¡¯t seem to hear, and just said, ¡°It¡¯s not God. I begged the gods and Buddhas in the sky that day, but no one rescued me. It must be Shaoze, and his spirit in the sky is helping me.¡±


    ¡°Ma¡¯am!¡± Song Li was restless.


    Ji Sanniang smiled, took the white flower from her head, and let it go with the wind.


    In the future, she will go down to accompany her Shaoze in person if she doesn¡¯t need this white flower anymore. As long as he doesn¡¯t dislike her **** hands.


    On the official road, Xiao Qi sat slack on his horse and asked Deng Hong, ¡°How long will it take to reach Wuling Mine? This journey has exhausted me to death.¡±


    The last time Shen Fengming captured Wang Bin and others back to the capital, after a lot of open and secret scrambles in the court, they finally sent another person, Deng Hong, the new general of the Wuling Mine defenders, and Xiao Qisong, his deputy.


    A deputy dared to talk to the general like that. If he was in the army, he would be dragged out and beaten with twenty army sticks.


    But Xiao Qisong, whose surname is Xiao, is Xiao from the royal family of the Xia Dynasty. His father is the King of Huainan, so naturally he is not afraid of Deng Hong.


    Deng Hong was annoyed, the journey was only six or seven days away, but he had delayed his arrival until now, did he think he was out to play?


    Indeed, he just came here for fun, earning a round in the mine without danger, and earning a fortune in the military. When he goes back, he may be able to lead the general and be on an equal footing with himself.


    It¡¯s a pity that I have lived and died for so many years, and it¡¯s a pity that those soldiers threw their heads and blood, but in the end they were not as good as a dude who couldn¡¯t even hold a gun.


    Thinking of this, Deng Hong really wanted someone to pull Xiao Qisong off his horse and punish him for delaying the military plane and neglecting his superiors.


    But he still held back in the end, he has no foundation in the court, if he manages Xiao Qisong today, maybe he will be escorted back to the capital in a few days.


    ¡°We¡¯ve arrived in Wuling County, hurry up, we¡¯ll arrive at Wuling Mine in the evening.¡± He replied with a cold face.


    In the evening of the next day, Jiang Yunzhu finished the last pot of fried rabbit, put everything into a jar, sealed it, and came to find Yang Sheng.


    ¡°Things are ready, come and take a look.¡± She said.


    Yang Sheng had only smelled the fragrance in the past two days, so he hurried out after hearing this.


    In a warehouse in the backyard, he saw dozens of cans neatly placed. Each jar is about the size of a watermelon, snow-white all over, with red paper pasted on it, and words written on the red paper.


    There are ¡°cold eating rabbit, Dengying beef shreds, boneless duck feet, spicy chicken¡­¡± There are more than a dozen items in two cans of each.


    Yang Sheng was dumbfounded, he really didn¡¯t want to bother Jiang Yunzhu so much. How much effort does she have to spend doing so many things?


    Moreover, at a glance, these things are much cheaper than what Nie Xin bought.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say to sell me at the normal price?¡± Yang Sheng was in a hurry. Jiang Yunzhu worked hard to make money, and he didn¡¯t want to take advantage of her at all.


    However, Jiang Yunzhu thought about Wei Kangping¡¯s matter, maybe he and Shen Fengming helped him, so he wanted to express his gratitude as much as possible. She really put her heart into doing this.


    ¡°That¡¯s the normal price,¡± she said. Just like that, she earned him more than four taels of silver.


    ¡°No.¡± Yang Sheng took out another ingot of silver, enough to give Jiang Yunzhu ten taels of silver.


    Of course Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t want it. Yang Sheng was a man, and he didn¡¯t dare to argue with her, so he froze for a while.


    Jiang Yunzhu had no choice but to say, ¡°It¡¯s really not a cheap price for you, it¡¯s a friendship price.¡±


    Friendship price, a little cheaper than normal price, but not particularly cheap.


    Yang Sheng raised his ears, ¡°Friendship price?¡± So, she regarded him as a friend?


    Jiang Yunzhu: ¡­


    After getting along these days, she really felt that Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng seemed to be pretty good, as for friends¡­


    Yang Sheng laughed, and we will be friends from now on. He looked at those jars happily. He had eaten cold rabbits, Dengying shredded beef, and boneless duck feet. ¡°Is it duck feet?¡± He was curious.


    People in the Xia Dynasty ate ducks, but no one seemed to specialize in making duck feet.


    ¡°Yes, the duck¡¯s feet are boneless and brine. It has two flavors: spiced and spicy.¡± Jiang Yunzhu explained. In this era, the temperature in winter is very low, and the dripping water turns into ice. If you make these things now, you are not afraid of being damaged on the road, so she adds spiced flavors, so that people who don¡¯t eat chili can¡¯t eat it.


    Yang Sheng was speechless, the duck¡¯s paws are so big, do you want to remove the bones little by little? He immediately opened the jar, picked one out with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.


    Sure enough, there are no bones, the duck webs are soft and glutinous, and the duck tendons are very chewy. When you put the whole thing in your mouth, with the spicy taste, you can only feel the tongue and teeth are very enjoyable, and you will be satisfied in one bite!


    ¡°This is delicious.¡± Yang Sheng said in surprise.


    Jiang Yunzhu also loves boneless duck feet the most, so he nodded.


    Yang Sheng became interested, took the chopsticks and tasted them one by one, and then settled there, he suddenly didn¡¯t want to send these back to the capital, what if his mother was done eating and forced him to buy them later?


    No, his mother will definitely force him to buy again, and then he will trouble Jiang Yunzhu again.


    He didn¡¯t want to see her hands soaking in cold water anymore.


    Of course Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know what was going on in his heart, and asked suspiciously, ¡°Why, isn¡¯t it delicious?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s delicious, it¡¯s so delicious.¡± Yang Sheng said.


    Jiang Yunzhu raised the corner of her mouth, that¡¯s good. In fact, it¡¯s a good thing, Fang Laosi and his wife are very capable, she is only in charge of the stove, and occasionally soaks in cold water.


    ¡°I was thinking, should I stay and eat by myself?¡± Yang Sheng said.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, so dozens of cans, he eats by himself, how long will he have to eat? Besides, ¡°There are still some in the pot, which should be enough for you.¡±


    Well, Yang Sheng seemed to have no reason not to send these things back to the capital. However, he suddenly saw five or six cans of things beside him. Judging by the names, they were also cold-eat rabbits or something.


    ¡°This is?¡± he asked.


    ¡°I want to give it to Mr. Shen.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. She originally planned to give Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng some food, but now it happened, ¡°I just don¡¯t know¡­¡± What she meant, the Shen family¡¯s big family, what if they don¡¯t like this kind of thing at all.


    Yang Sheng didn¡¯t even finish listening to her words, so he ran out quickly, and quickly pulled Shen Fengming over.


    ¡°Miss Jiang said it was for you.¡± Yang Sheng pointed at the jars and said in a light tone.


    Suddenly, he felt that his life was miserable again, obviously he said he wanted it and spent money, Shen Fengming didn¡¯t do anything, but he still has something?


    Shen Fengming¡¯s long eyelashes fluttered, and he looked at Jiang Yunzhu.


    Perhaps it was because the fine sunlight passing through the window sills happened to shine into his eyes, at this moment Jiang Yunzhu actually felt that his whole body was not so cold, just like the new snow in early spring, although it was still cold, it only made people feel fresh.


    ¡°You want to send me back home?¡± Shen Fengming asked looking at those jars. There were words written by Jiang Yunzhu on the jars. The words were not very neat, but it looked like it was written by a woman.


    If the mother sees¡­


    ¡°Well¡­if you don¡¯t want it, then¡­¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s eyes were slightly opened to look at him. This Commander-in-Chief was still as unpredictable as ever.


    Yang Sheng immediately arranged for someone to send the things back, and specifically instructed that the six cans over there should be sent to the Shen family, and the rest to the Yang family. As for the sausage, it will take a few days to dry, so there is no rush.


    The carriage wheeled away, and Yang Sheng put his hands behind his back, feeling refreshed.


    At noon the next day, Jiang Yunzhu was busy cooking, but a carriage drove quickly from the official road, and soon arrived at the gate of Jiang¡¯s house.


    The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and two people came out from inside. They looked around and said to a person in the carriage, ¡°I¡¯m offended¡±, and then put the person under the carriage, and then drove the carriage to disappear quickly.


    The man on the ground felt that he was free, and immediately jumped up, pulled off the cloth bag on his head, reached out to touch his waist, and opened his mouth to curse.


    But there is no one in front of him, surrounded by green hills in the distance, and a small village nearby.


    There was a burst of fragrance in the air, and the old man raised his nose to smell it, and then looked over there.


    I saw that it was a very ordinary farmhouse, with smoke curling up inside, and the aroma came from the family¡¯s kitchen.


    Stomach growled.


    ¡°These **** don¡¯t let anyone eat.¡± The old man cursed and knocked on the door.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go and open the door.¡± Chen Shi heard the voice, afraid that Jiang Yunzhu would be distracted, so she walked out.


    When he opened the door, he saw a strange old man outside. The old man was about fifty or sixty years old, wearing ordinary brown clothes, just like the common old people in the village.


    No, he is a little different, his eyes are unusually healthy and bright, making him look very energetic.


    ¡°You are?¡± Chen asked.


    The old man was silent for a moment, and then said, ¡°Passing by, I heard that there is food smelling in your yard. I¡¯m hungry, and I want to buy some food from you.¡± blacken.


    Coincidentally, at this time his stomach growled again.


    Realizing his embarrassment, Mrs. Chen felt that it would not be easy for him at such an age, so she opened the door and invited him in, ¡°No need to buy, some food has already been prepared, wait a moment, I¡¯ll serve it for you.¡±


    The old man stepped in.


    Although Jiang Yunzhu was in the kitchen, she heard voices from outside. When she looked into the courtyard, she happened to see the old man walking in, and stood there in a daze.


    Wu Yixian, is this the legendary Wu Yixian? In the dream, she was in Anping Hou¡¯s Mansion. Once the old lady of the Hou¡¯s Mansion was ill, Lin Ting¡¯an sent people to look for him everywhere, and wanted him to help treat the illness.


    She had seen his portrait then. That portrait should have been drawn by Danqing¡¯s master hand, the eyebrows and eyes are 70% similar to him, but the expression is 100% like him.


    It was Wu Yixian, Jiang Yunzhu was sure.


    But why did he suddenly come here?


    It is said that his whereabouts were erratic. At that time, Lin Ting¡¯an searched for him for half a year, but couldn¡¯t find him. In the end, he had to give up. Now?


    Did he wander here?


    Jiang Yunzhu suddenly became excited. If he was willing to help Mr. Chen to heal his illness, would Mr. Chen¡¯s eyes be healed? But it is said that he has a very strange personality, and he wants to cure even beggars and death row prisoners.


    If he doesn¡¯t want to rule, it¡¯s useless when the emperor comes. He said, early death and early rebirth. That¡¯s just how he is.


    Of course the emperor was reluctant to let him die, and everyone was reluctant to let him die. After he died, who would treat their illnesses.


    At this time, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng in the side room also saw Mr. Wu.


    Yang Sheng crossed his arms and looked outside, and asked Shen Fengming with a smile, ¡°He really hasn¡¯t left in Hangzhou, guess what he was doing when he was found?¡±


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Shen Fengming rarely responded to Yang Cheng.


    ¡°Fishing **** in the West Lake! He insisted that there are thousand-year-old **** under the West Lake, and the stewed soup is good to eat. You say this old man¡­¡± Yang Sheng shook his head.


    Suddenly he asked Shen Fengming again, ¡°Guess, if he sees you later, will he expose your identity?¡±


    Mr. Wu had met Shen Fengming before.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s hand holding the case file paused, ¡°Let him go.¡±


    In fact, he and Yang Sheng never thought about lying to the Jiang family all the time.


    But Yang Sheng became entangled, he wanted Jiang Yunzhu to know Shen Fengming¡¯s identity, and wanted to see her reaction, but he was also afraid that she would be too frightened after knowing his identity, it was really too difficult!


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu finished frying the pot of dishes, she hurried out and said to Mr. Wu, ¡°Mr., passing by?¡±


    Mr. Wu looked Jiang Yunzhu up and down, and was a little surprised that there was such a beautiful girl in this remote mountain village.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Mr. Wu didn¡¯t want to say that he was left here, he wanted to save face.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°Sit in the old man¡¯s room, I¡¯ll serve you a meal.¡± She said and went into the kitchen.


    When we arrived in the courtyard, the smell of the food became stronger, and Mr. Wu couldn¡¯t help but look into the kitchen.


    At this time, there were footsteps over there, and when he turned his head, he saw Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng coming out of the side room.


    Shen Fengming, Commander of the Qilin Guard! Mr. Wu¡¯s face immediately turned cold. He understood why he was thrown here. Except for the famous Qilin Guard, who knew he was in West Lake.


    What did he ask him for, medical treatment? Don¡¯t even think about it! Even if he cures a dog, he won¡¯t help him!


    He can remember the way he killed people, it was so majestic and hostile.


    ¡°Mr. Shen, Mr. Yang, wait a little longer, the food will be ready soon.¡± Seeing Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng coming out, Mrs. Chen thought they were in a hurry waiting for the meal, so she said.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t worry.¡± Yang Sheng smiled back.


    They asked and answered, seemingly ordinary, but Mr. Wu¡¯s eyes were wide open. What did he see? This woman, doesn¡¯t she know who Shen Fengming is? How dare you talk to him like that.


    In the entire capital, whoever dared to talk to Shen Fengming like that¡­ No, he quickly realized that Mrs. Chen seemed to have no idea of Shen Fengming¡¯s identity at all, otherwise she would never have such an attitude.


    At this time, Mr. Chen heard the voice, walked out of the room, and asked, ¡°Who is it?¡±


    From the way he was groping, Mr. Wu immediately saw that there was something wrong with his eyes.


    ¡°Father, he¡¯s an old man passing by.¡± Mrs. Chen said to Mr. Chen.


    ¡°Old man, why don¡¯t you sit in the room?¡± Jiang Yunzhu came out from the kitchen with food and asked.


    Mr. Wu looked from one side to the other, and suddenly smiled. It¡¯s interesting!

 Chapter 44

    Mr. Wu entered the room and sat down. Jiang Yunzhu brought him four dishes, one fried pork, one Kung Pao chicken, one fried cabbage, and a stewed meat platter, which included boneless duck feet, pig tails, duck Four kinds of gizzards and beef tendon.


    And a bowl of rice, a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup.


    These four dishes look ordinary, but there are unusual things everywhere.


    Just like this stir-fried cabbage, Mr. Wu has eaten it all over the country, even in the imperial dining room in the palace many times, but this stir-fried cabbage can be cooked to such a high temperature, and the total amount does not exceed two hands.


    And this stewed meat platter, this is duck feet, right? Looking at the curled up appearance, it seems that the bones have been removed. This is the first time Mr. Wu has seen duck feet like this.


    Mr. Wu was curious, so he grabbed a duck paw and ate it first.


    Fragrant, spicy, elastic, waxy!


    He ate another piece of pig tail.


    Different tastes, but equally delicious.


    Stir-fried cabbage, sure enough, as he guessed, this technique has reached perfection, basically no seasoning is added, only the taste of cabbage itself, but it is extremely refreshing and luscious.


    Mr. Wu couldn¡¯t help but glanced at Jiang Yunzhu, and asked, ¡°You did it?¡±


    ¡°Yes, how is the old man eating?¡±


    Mr. Wu stared at her. This skill would not be at this level if it hadn¡¯t been taught by a famous teacher and practiced hard for many years. Of course, there is another possibility, the Dao is natural, and the complexity is simplified. This girl is born with this kind of wisdom.


    Mr. Wu felt that Jiang Yunzhu was the latter, and he couldn¡¯t help but feel a twitch in his heart. He had been wandering for half his life, and he didn¡¯t even have a successor. This girl¡­


    Thinking of this, his face became much better, and he said, ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s eyes were full of water. It was really not easy to get the words Mr. Wu. If the old man is happy eating, will he help old man Chen to heal his illness? Of course, she wouldn¡¯t say it out loud, as if she was too eager for quick success.


    It¡¯s better to wait for Mr. Wu to mention it himself.


    ¡°Eat more if it tastes good.¡± She just said.


    Mr. Wu was already hungry. He just ate two bites, and his appetite became even bigger. He immediately stopped talking and started to eat.


    There were four dishes, each of which was not much. After a while, he finished all the dishes, a bowl of rice, and finally drank half a bowl of soup.


    After eating, he sat there stroking his stomach, only to realize belatedly that he had to be seventy percent full after eating, and he was not suitable for health preservation like this.


    It was all because the dishes were so delicious, he picked up the tea bowl resentfully, and drank tea slowly.


    This tea doesn¡¯t taste good, he thought.


    Indeed, Jiang¡¯s tea only buys some tea foam, so there is no good taste.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu and the others also started to eat. Mr. Chen had bad eyesight, so Mrs. Chen told him what dishes were on the table, and then asked him which one he would like to eat.


    Mr. Chen said, Mrs. Chen helped him.


    Jiang Yunzhu watched from the side, and quietly took a look at Mr. Wu. Mr. Chen¡¯s eyes were obviously sick, wouldn¡¯t he want to help take a look? Or did those dishes not impress him?


    Indeed, those dishes are just some home-cooked dishes. Mr. Wu has a high vision, so naturally he doesn¡¯t like them.


    Jiang Yunzhu wondered if he should make him the dish prepared in his dream.


    In the Anping Marquis Mansion in the dream, Lin Ting¡¯an wanted to ask Mr. Wu to see a doctor. Finding someone was one thing, but how to persuade him was another.


    Jiang Yunzhu knew that Mr. Wu loved to eat and play, so he thought about a dish carefully, trying to impress him.


    It¡¯s a pity that no one was found at all in the end, and her dish was useless.


    Right now.


    However, how to make that dish reasonably requires careful consideration.


    Jiang Yunzhu was thinking wildly, but he didn¡¯t know that after Mr. Wu finished eating those dishes, he already wanted to see a doctor for Mr. Chen. It¡¯s just that he thought that Shen Fengming kidnapped him probably to see a doctor for Mr. Chen, and if he showed him, didn¡¯t he follow his wishes?


    Don¡¯t watch it, don¡¯t watch it, at least not now.


    After Shen Fengming leaves, he will look again.


    He thought so.


    ¡°The old man is alone, where are you going to go in such a cold day? If there is nothing important, why not stay here for a few more days.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Mr. Wu was thinking about this, so he nodded immediately.


    The two hit it off.


    There are two side rooms in the courtyard, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng lived in one, and the other room was used for storing sundries, Jiang Yunzhu immediately cleaned it up and gave it to Mr. Wu to live in.


    In the near future, Gu Yanzhou came to teach Jiang Lin and others how to read.


    After Jiang Yunzhu studied for a while, he lied that he had learned it, and then stopped learning from him.


    Today, she was walking back and forth in the main room.


    ¡°Little lotus just showed its sharp horns, and dragonflies have already stood on it.¡± Gu Yanzhou taught Jiang Lin and others to recite ancient poems.


    Hearing this, Jiang Yunzhu finally found a reason, sat at the table, and said to Gu Yanzhou, ¡°These two poems sound very nice. And listening to you reading it, I seem to see a piece of sharp lotus in a pond. The leaf has just emerged from the water, and it looks like a dragonfly is standing on it.¡±


    Gu Yanzhou¡¯s starry eyes flickered, ¡°Good poetry really makes people feel like they are there.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu said as if thinking of something, ¡°You said that, I suddenly thought of cooking, can cooking be like this?¡±


    Gu Yanzhou was stunned for a moment, and put down his book, ¡°Of course, there was a female chef in the Five Dynasties, named Fanzheng, and she was best at making dishes into beautiful scenery.


    The ¡°Wangchuan Picture¡± she made was praised as ¡°there are mountains and rivers on the dishes, and poems on the plates¡±.


    Wangchuan is the place where Wang Wei lives in seclusion, with beautiful scenery.


    Wang Wei is a famous poet, and he has written many poems describing the place where he lives, such as the famous line ¡°the grass is green in the rain, and the peach blossoms are red in the water¡± and so on.


    Fanzheng made the scenery in his poems into dishes, which were lifelike and lifelike. What¡¯s more rare is that there are 20 guests on the table, and the dishes in front of each of them are different, but they can be connected together, which is really ingenious. ¡°


    Jiang Yunzhu was eager to hear it, and said, ¡°I want to try it too.¡±


    Gu Yanzhou smiled, it is not so easy, throughout the ages, there is only Fanzheng, but he couldn¡¯t bear to hit Jiang Yunzhu, so he said, ¡°Okay. If you need help, you can tell me.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu really did, ¡°Can you talk more about Wang Wei¡¯s poems, I¡¯ll see if you have any ideas.¡±


    Of course Gu Yanzhou was fine, so he read it immediately.


    He is the number one scholar, and he knows all these poems by heart.


    When Jiang Yunzhu heard the phrase ¡°The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring rocks flow¡± the secret channel finally came, and immediately said, ¡°This sentence is very nice.¡±


    Gu Yanzhou explained to her the source of this poem and the situation Wang Wei was in when he wrote it.


    The two of them were chatting and laughing, and they seemed to be having a good time, while Yang Sheng looked at Shen Fengming and pouted.


    Shen Fengming also saw the two people in the main room, he got up and walked out.


    Yang Sheng followed slowly.


    ¡°Miss Jiang.¡± Shen Fengming entered the room and said to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu raised his head and looked at him questioningly.


    Shen Fengming glanced at the table, ¡°How is Miss Jiang¡¯s calligraphy?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu: ¡­It feels like being checked by a teacher, even though the teacher only taught her for a few days.


    ¡°Ms. Jiang is very smart. She has already learned a lot about recipes and bookkeeping.¡± Gu Yanzhou accepted the words with a smile.


    ¡°Oh?¡± Shen Fengming looked at him with a kind of scrutiny.


    Gu Yanzhou put away his smile, his expression became tense, and he felt a strange sense of oppression. He also looked at Shen Fengming, he has a handsome face and a tall and straight figure, especially he has a special temperament, like a mountain like a sea.


    Is such a person just a merchant from the capital? Gu Yanzhou pursed his lips. He had also traveled to the capital for a study tour before, and he had met some noble sons in the capital, but there was no one like Shen Fengming.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, didn¡¯t Yuyu teach you how to read before? Now that we¡¯re back, let him teach you. As for Mr. Gu, I think the big exam is more important.¡± Yang Sheng was impatient with them looking around, Tell Jiang Yunzhu directly.


    Speaking of the word ¡°Yuyu¡±, he felt very awkward, he had never called Shen Fengming that way before.


    Just suddenly, he thought again, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s name has the word Zhu, and Shen Fengming¡¯s name is jade, Zhu Yu Zhu Yu, it really is fate.


    He was pleased with his unique vision.


    Of course the others didn¡¯t know that he had already thought about it. Shen Fengming and Gu Yanzhou all looked at Jiang Yunzhu when they heard what he said.


    They argued about this matter last time, this time, there is no need to argue, just wait for Jiang Yunzhu to decide.


    Jiang Yunzhu was looking for an opportunity to tell Gu Yanzhou about it, so she said, ¡°It is true that the final exam is more important.¡±


    ¡°But¡­¡± Gu Yanzhou wanted to explain.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°Thank you Mr. Gu for your teaching these days, in fact, I have discussed with my mother a few days ago, and I will save some money in a few days and send Jiang Lin and the others to school.


    As for me, I think I can keep accounts and know the recipes. ¡°


    ¡°Miss Jiang, you don¡¯t have to despise yourself so much. With your intelligence, you will surely achieve something in time.¡± Gu Yanzhou persuaded her.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt ashamed. The ¡°smartness¡± she showed was because she had studied modern Chinese for more than ten years, and she really couldn¡¯t do it if she was asked to delve into those classical Chinese.


    But she couldn¡¯t say it clearly, so she said, ¡°I think it¡¯s good if I concentrate on one thing, otherwise I always feel that I don¡¯t have enough time.¡±


    Everyone knows that she likes to cook and study dishes, so she uses this as a shield.


    ¡°Concentrate on one thing?¡± Gu Yanzhou repeated, feeling that he still underestimated Jiang Yunzhu, yes, people¡¯s energy is limited, so do what you like, and then do it well, isn¡¯t it good?


    ¡°I was the one who was abrupt.¡± He looked at Jiang Yunzhu and said in relief. His eyes are flowing like spring water, making people feel like spring breeze.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled at him, and thanked him, ¡°I still want to thank Mr. Gu for teaching us all these days.¡± Then she looked at Shen Fengming again, ¡°Mr. Shen, I¡­¡± She felt that she had made it very clear.


    ¡°En.¡± Shen Fengming nodded.


    The matter passed like this, and then Jiang Yunzhu began to tinker with her dish.


    When Gu Yanzhou learned that she was really going to make a dish corresponding to that poem, she also became interested and watched it from the sidelines.


    Yang Sheng also found it interesting and stood aside.


    After a while, even Mr. Wu came, he pushed Gu Yanzhou and Yang Sheng aside, stretched his neck to watch Jiang Yunzhu do it.


    Jiang Yunzhu: ¡­with so many people watching, she was under a lot of pressure.


    Fortunately, she had been preparing this dish for a long time in the Anping Hou Mansion in her dream, and she had cooked it several times. This time, she occasionally made mistakes, but the general direction was still right.


    Make the moon first, and use white radish for this one. Of course, it¡¯s not just carving the white radish into the shape of the moon. Make a pot of soup, and then pour the soup on the processed white radish to let it become ripe and tasty.


    When it comes out of the pan, sprinkle some chicken oil to make the white radish look as bright and moist as a white jade plate.


    The method of this radish is made by referring to the method of boiled cabbage in modern state banquets. The broth uses various meaty things, but the final radish is not oily at all. It looks extremely light, but it is actually full of flavor.


    This piece of radish alone made Mr. Wu¡¯s eyes full of splendor. Sure enough, the road is as simple as it gets!


    Then Jiang Yunzhu started to make pine trees and cliffs.


    When it was time to prepare dinner, she made dinner again.


    ¡°Make this first, what¡¯s the rush for dinner!¡± Seeing that the dish was about to be done, Mr. Wu said anxiously.


    ¡°The guests have ordered meals at noon.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Mr. Wu really wanted to say, no matter who ordered the meal, wait for him. But thinking of his current identity as just an old man passing by, he held back again. He wasn¡¯t afraid to tell Jiang Yunzhu that he was Wu Xingwei, but in case Jiang Yunzhu found out and asked him to cure old man Chen¡¯s eyes, would he agree or not?


    He didn¡¯t want to go along with Shen Fengming¡¯s wishes. So, he could only wait patiently, scratching his head.


    After much difficulty, Jiang Yunzhu finished cooking dinner and made this dish again.


    Until the moon rabbit rose east, this ¡°bright moon and clear spring¡± was finally finished.


    Jiang Yunzhu took it out of the kitchen, and saw a bright moon hanging on the cliff, reflecting the bright moon in the sky, a tall and straight pine forest, with a few rocks in the middle, and a winding clear spring flowing slowly on the rocks.


    The cliffs, pine forests, and stones are all lifelike, and the most peculiar thing is the clear spring, which is really flowing slowly and sparkling under the reflection of the moonlight.


    ¡°¡®Bright moon shines among the pines, clear spring stones flow upward¡¯, what a ¡®bright moon and clear spring¡¯.¡± Yang Sheng was the first to praise. Seeing this dish, he seemed to have really seen the beauty described in the poem.


    Gu Yanzhou also looked at this dish in surprise. He said that Fanzheng once made the ¡°Wangchuan Picture¡±, but after all, it was hundreds of years ago, and he had never really seen it, but Jiang Yunzhu made this ¡°Mingyue Tu Qingquan¡±, but he saw it with his own eyes.


    At this time Shen Fengming was also there, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.


    Mr. Wu was even more amazed, looked here and there, and finally patted his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m not willing to eat it anymore.¡±


    ¡°It tastes better than it looks.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Mr. Wu only felt that her words seemed to be the temptation of the devil, and he tentatively said, ¡°Then why not, let me try it?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu handed him the chopsticks.


    Mr. Wu wanted to taste the radish for a long time, so he immediately picked it up with chopsticks.


    Unexpectedly, the radish turned out to be very soft and rotten, and he easily picked up a piece. Put it in your mouth, there is no spicy taste of radish at all, only various fresh aromas and sweet taste of radish, refreshing.


    ¡°Delicious!¡± He praised immediately.


    Others saw that a piece of the moon was missing, so they started to eat with chopsticks. The cliffs, pine forests, stones, and even the clear spring are all dishes, and each dish has a different taste, but they all have an extraordinary taste. Eating all the way, there is a feeling of Suzhou gardens, one step at a time, one step at a time, and it is really wonderful.


    Soon, one dish was eaten up.


    Yang Sheng looked at Jiang Yunzhu with burning eyes, he felt that if his boss was not good enough, he could come and bring Jiang Yunzhu back to the capital, at least he would be able to eat delicious meals every day in the future.


    He felt that his mother would also like Jiang Yunzhu.


    At this time, he suddenly felt a chill, turned his head and saw Shen Fengming looking at him, he laughed twice.


    Jiang Yunzhu was not in the mood to watch other people¡¯s reactions, she just stared at Mr. Wu. Is the old man satisfied? Can it be cured?


    Mr. Wu was extremely satisfied, but he still couldn¡¯t treat Mr. Chen¡¯s illness.


    He pondered for a while, and asked Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Do you want to worship me as a teacher?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu froze there, it was completely different from what she thought! Mr. Wu wants to take her as his apprentice? This is certainly an opportunity that many people only dream of. But she doesn¡¯t want to study medicine.


    ¡°The old man can also cook?¡± Jiang Yunzhu hoped that old man Wu would say that he knew medical skills, so she went down the donkey and begged him to cure old man Chen¡¯s eyes, and everyone was happy.


    Mr. Wu hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Stewing soup with **** is considered cooking, right? Although, he hasn¡¯t caught that **** yet, but sooner or later he will catch it.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°In the future, if I have a chance, I must ask the old man for advice.¡± This was a tactful refusal.


    Mr. Wu is not angry either, there will be a chance.


    The two chatted with the duck for a while, and it was getting late, so everyone dispersed.


    Jiang Yunzhu was busy all afternoon and was really tired. She didn¡¯t think about anything else, so she went to wash up and get ready for bed.


    Gu Yanzhou went home, and Yang Sheng took Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s plate of vegetables back to the house, trying to figure out why the clear spring flowed.


    Shen Fengming also went to wash up, and got ready to sleep after washing up.


    Next to the well in the yard, he suddenly stopped there. After a while, a person turned out from behind the house, it was Mr. Wu.


    He observed for an entire afternoon, and finally understood why Shen Fengming had tied him up to see a doctor for Mr. Chen, and he had something wrong with Jiang Yunzhu.


    He snorted coldly, it was rumored in central Beijing that the Commander of the Qilin Guards made Shen Fengming not close to women, why, but here he was playing tricks with a girl? Are you still hiding your identity, afraid that the girl will come to your door in the future?


    Then he might as well kill the person directly, not once and for all.


    Anyway, he was used to killing people.


    Do you still want him to help cure the disease and please the girl? Go dreaming!


    Shen Fengming felt that Mr. Wu¡¯s face was not looking well, and he frowned slightly.


    ¡°You want me to help you treat your illness?¡± Old Master Wu asked Shen Fengming.


    ¡°En.¡± Shen Fengming agreed.


    ¡°Stay away from that girl.¡± Mr. Wu said directly.


    Shen Fengming looked at him with cold eyes.


    Mr. Wu is in a hurry, this sanctimonious beast in clothes! Of course he would not believe that Shen Fengming really liked Jiang Yunzhu, he just thought he was trying to trick Jiang Yunzhu.


    A gust of north wind blew past, making people¡¯s bones tremble, and he said, ¡°If you want me to heal your illness, well, you should stand here for one night first, otherwise, I won¡¯t be able to heal anyone related to you in the future.


    Even if I die! ¡°Mr. Wu is not afraid of death. He has seen life and death through the years of being a doctor.


    His words were intended to embarrass Shen Fengming, firstly, to avenge him for kidnapping him, and secondly, to prove Shen Fengming¡¯s hypocrisy.


    ¡°If I stand up, will you treat the old man?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    ¡°If you stand up, I may help him treat his illness. If you don¡¯t stand up, then¡­¡± Of course it will be treated, but it will be treated later.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t know what was going on in his heart, but he knew that his temper was so weird, he hesitated a little, and said, ¡°Okay!¡±


    ¡°I knew you¡­¡± Mr. Wu didn¡¯t finish his sentence when he heard the phrase ¡°yes¡±.


    He was stunned, he really didn¡¯t expect Shen Fengming to agree.


    But Shen Fengming stopped talking, put down the basin and stood there, as if he really planned to stand there all night.


    Mr. Wu looked him up and down, then snorted, turned and went back to his room.


    After a while, Yang Sheng was about to fall asleep, seeing that Shen Fengming hadn¡¯t entered the house yet, he went out to look for him, and saw him standing there motionless.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Yang Sheng asked.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t want to explain to him, ¡°You go to sleep?¡±


    ¡°then you.¡±


    ¡°Do not bother me.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care about you¡­¡±


    Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming looked at each other, and the rest of the words were suppressed. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°You can do whatever you want, I¡¯ll go back to sleep.¡± He knew that there must be a reason for Shen Fengming to do things, but he didn¡¯t say anything, so he didn¡¯t ask.


    But he went back and brought him a big cloak. This cloak was made of silver fox fur, it couldn¡¯t blow through the wind, and it was the best way to keep him warm.


    Jiang Yunzhu was lying under the blanket, maybe it was because she was too tired from doing the ¡°Bright Moon and Clear Spring¡± today, or maybe it was because Mr. Wu didn¡¯t say that he would treat Mr. Chen¡¯s illness in the end, so she tossed and turned and couldn¡¯t fall asleep.


    She opened her eyes to see what time it is. Through the window, she saw, a person?


    She hurried to the window and looked out carefully.


    Through the moonlight, she saw that it was indeed a person, he was standing by the well, it was Shen Fengming!


    what does he do Several thoughts flashed through Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s mind, but none of them seemed reliable.


    She looked at him, to see what he was going to do, when he might come back to the house.


    As a result, he just stood there like a statue.


    Nothing will happen, right? She quickly put on her clothes, lifted a lantern, opened the door and walked into the courtyard.


    The sky was dark, and the lantern emitted a warm yellow light, shining on her face.


    Shen Fengming looked towards her when there was any movement in her room, and seeing her approaching with a lantern at this moment, his eyebrows and eyes slightly raised.


    The warm yellow light was getting closer and closer, seeming to dispel the darkness and coldness on his body.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Jiang Yunzhu raised the lantern and asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Shen Fengming replied.


    ¡°Then you?¡± What is this, Jiang Yunzhu wanted to ask.


    Shen Fengming looked at her, because she raised the lantern up, and the light illuminated her eyebrows and eyes more clearly.


    ¡°I never thought about getting married before,¡± he said.


    Jiang Yunzhu was stunned, where did he say that? But it seems that, seven years later in the dream, he is still alone.


    Shen Fengming lowered his eyes, ¡°My mother doesn¡¯t like my father, and so does my father. The two of them would quarrel every day. When I was young, I didn¡¯t understand why they were still together since they hated each other so much.


    I¡¯m tired of them arguing too. At this point, he stopped. He had never told anyone these words, but now he wanted to tell her.


    Jiang Yunzhu had never met Princess Danyang and Bachelor Shen, but he had heard that they seemed to be married politically. The Shen family was a big family and had a pivotal position in the Xia Dynasty. At that time, the current emperor was still an unfavored prince.


    When his younger sister married into the Shen family, it was equivalent to having the support of the Shen family.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know what to say, since ancient times, things in the emperor¡¯s family have been like this.


    She frowned and pursed her lips.

 Chapter 45

    ¡°Go back to sleep.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    ¡°What about you?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m thinking about something.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu: ¡­Okay!


    The next morning, Jiang Yunzhu woke up, her mind was much clearer, and she felt that she might have been too anxious yesterday. Someone once offered a thousand taels of gold to Mr. Wu to see a doctor, but Mr. Wu didn¡¯t even give him a look, so it¡¯s nothing for her to cook a dish.


    Anyway, Mr. Wu was going to stay at home for a few days, so she still let him see her sincerity slowly.


    After dinner, Jiang Yunzhu had something to do, she stopped Jiang Lin and the others, ¡°You heard what I said to Mr. Gu yesterday, I think I won¡¯t bother him from today, let him concentrate on preparing for the exam.


    You first review what you have learned before, and after the new year, when the family has money, I will send you to school. ¡°


    Gu Yanzhou, the number one scholar, is now in the critical period of preparing for the exam, and she doesn¡¯t want to delay him. She has done the math, and now the family can earn five taels of silver a day, and there is still more than a month before the Chinese New Year, and they can earn almost twenty taels of silver, which should be enough for repairing.


    Jiang Lin, Jiang Yunxue, and Jiang Wu had different reactions, and even Chen Shi and Jiang Cheng stopped and listened to her.


    Jiang Lin quietly looked at Jiang Yunzhu, as if he had something to say.


    Jiang Yunxue turned pale, Gu Yanzhou went to teach them at home, she can still follow suit, but what should she do when she goes to school? She had never heard of any family sending her daughter to study. She squeezed the corner of her clothes tightly, feeling her throat was a little congested.


    She likes reading, more so than Jiang Lin and Jiang Wu.


    Jiang Wu looked at Jiang Yunzhu with his black eyes blinking, going to school, is it fun?


    Jiang Yunzhu saw their reactions, and asked Jiang Lin first, ¡°What do you want to say?¡±


    ¡°Sister, I don¡¯t want to go to school.¡± Jiang Lin said while watching Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s reaction, afraid that she would be angry.


    ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? You just wanted to go to school before, and your family didn¡¯t have any money for you to go. Your sister couldn¡¯t bear to see you suffer for the rest of your life, so she told me that she wanted to send you to school. Is this your attitude?¡± Mrs. Chen But there is a feeling of indignation.


    In fact, she and Jiang Cheng also hope that there will be a scholar in the family, a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, and if Jiang Lin or Jiang Wu can be like Gu Yanzhou, she can wake up with a smile in her dreams.


    Jiang Lin stood there without speaking.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you want to go to school?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked Jiang Lin without getting angry.


    Jiang Lin looked at her shyly, found her face was pleasant, and said, ¡°I¡¯m so old, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to keep up when I go to school. And¡­¡± These days, he was with Gu Qifeng every day, and Gu Qifeng followed him a lot. He poured bitter water.


    In Gu Qifeng¡¯s eyes, Gu Yanzhou is the child of that other family. He started reading at the age of four, he could compose poems at the age of six, he could write articles at the age of nine, and he had already passed the examination of scholar at the age of fifteen. As for Gu Qifeng, he couldn¡¯t even compare with him with a single finger.


    And the most terrible thing is that his parents kept comparing Gu Yanzhou with him, and asked him to follow his example, so that he could take the imperial examination in the future and shine in the family.


    Now Gu Qifeng is going up, not going up, not going down, not going down.


    Hearing this, Jiang Lin started to worry. During the period of learning characters with Gu Yanzhou, he found that he was not as good as Jiang Yunxue, and compared with Gu Yanzhou¡­ Forget it, there is no way to compare.


    So he thought, when he went to school, would he be the same as Gu Qifeng?


    The family spent so much money supporting him to study, but he failed to achieve anything. How could he face the Chen family and Jiang Yunzhu?


    It¡¯s better not to go at all, and to do business with Jiang Yunzhu, which is also very good.


    Jiang Yunzhu slowly asked about his worries, but smiled, ¡°Who said that I let you go to school because I want you to take the imperial examination?¡±


    As soon as she said this, Jiang Cheng, the Chen family, including Jiang Lin, were all stunned. If you don¡¯t take the imperial examination, what are you doing studying?


    ¡°Reading is to make you understand.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, smoothing his collar. In modern times, she went to college, but ended up in a career that has nothing to do with the major of the college, but can she say that going to college is useless?


    That experience broadened her horizons and was also the most unforgettable memory in her life. She didn¡¯t want Jiang Lin and the others to miss it.


    As for the money, the money is earned and spent.


    ¡°Sister!¡± Jiang Lin¡¯s eyes sparkled, did she really think so? In fact, he really wanted to go to the school to have a look.


    ¡°Yunzhu, this¡­¡± Jiang Cheng hesitated, Jiang Yunzhu said so, Jiang Lin is not going crazy.


    Jiang Yunzhu blinked, otherwise it would be useless for her to force Jiang Lin, he has already begun to resist reading.


    ¡°Sister, you are so kind.¡± Jiang Lin only felt that Jiang Yunzhu was the best sister in the world. If Gu Qifeng told this, he would probably go mad with envy.


    ¡°You still have to study hard, otherwise you will waste money and your own time and energy.¡± Jiang Yunzhu laughed again.


    ¡°En.¡± Jiang Lin nodded fiercely.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at Jiang Yunxue again.


    ¡°Sister.¡± Jiang Yunxue called out in a low voice, her voice choked with sobs.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at her and sighed too. In this era, it is too unfair to women.


    ¡°Do you like reading?¡± She asked Jiang Yunxue.


    Jiang Yunxue didn¡¯t dare to look at her, and just replied like a mosquito, ¡°Yeah.¡±


    ¡°Then let me inquire for you to see if there is a girls¡¯ school in the county.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. In fact, she knew that Huaying Academy in Luzhou only recruited female students.


    Huaying Academy was opened by the Lin family.


    Speaking of the Lin family, it¡¯s really amazing. Up to now, there have been three top scholars and more than 30 Jinshi in the ancestors. They were praised by the emperor himself.


    Huaying Academy is their family¡¯s own academy, and the female students they recruit are all daughters of their own family or relatives and friends. Jiang Yunxue¡­ Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Yunzhu seems to have met people from the Lin family in her dreams, but she has no friendship, Jiang Yunxue It is very difficult to get into Huaying Academy.


    She didn¡¯t say anything about it, so as not to give Jiang Yunxue hope, but she couldn¡¯t do it.


    Jiang Yunxue¡¯s attention was all on the women¡¯s school she was talking about, ¡°Is there really a women¡¯s school?¡± She asked, as if seeing a glimmer of light in the dark night.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know either, I need to ask.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Jiang Yunxue felt that enough was enough, as long as there was hope.


    Chen Shi watched from the side and sighed.


    Only then did Jiang Lin feel how lucky he was to be able to go to the school. Obviously, Jiang Yunxue learned much better than him.


    ¡°Sister, when I learn it, I will teach you when I come back.¡± He said to Jiang Yunxue.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Jiang Yunxue tried hard to force a smile.


    ¡°If you really want to go to a women¡¯s school, you should study hard. Otherwise, if you have the opportunity in the future, your own knowledge is not enough, and they will not want you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said to Jiang Yunxue. She remembered that Huaying Academy was quite demanding.


    There was a light in Jiang Yunxue¡¯s eyes, so she should study hard!


    Seeing her like this, Jiang Lin felt guilty for no reason. No, she already learned faster than herself. If she works so hard, how will he teach her in the future?


    He seemed to have seen that he would be in dire straits after being chased by books.


    But he didn¡¯t back down this time, his sister was pitiful enough, no matter how hypocritical he was, he was nothing like a brother. Big deal, in the future he will play less, sleep less, and learn those things.


    In the end it was Jiang Wu¡¯s turn, and Jiang Yunzhu made the final decision, sending him to school for two years before watching.


    The family of them was talking, when someone knocked on the door outside, Mrs. Chen went to open the door, but saw a young couple, the man was neat and tidy, and the woman was gentle and soft.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± She had a guess in her heart, but she wasn¡¯t sure.


    ¡°Are you cured?¡± Jiang Yunzhu came out of the house and asked the man.


    Xue Jing smiled and said, ¡°Okay.¡± As he spoke, fearing that Jiang Yunzhu would not believe him, he turned around twice.


    Xue Jing was originally suffering from heart disease, but after meeting Jiang Yunzhu, his heart disease was gone, and naturally he recovered quickly. Now he is ruddy and healthy.


    Jiang Yunzhu introduced to both sides, Xue Jing, the chef she hired, Ruan Shi, his wife, and here are the members of the Jiang family.


    There was a donkey cart behind Xue Jing and Ruan Shi, and there were many things on the donkey cart.


    ¡°You said you could rent a house for me.¡± Xue Jing said shyly. After discussing with Ruan, he decided to move to Changshi Village together, so that the husband and wife would not be separated and it would be much more convenient.


    On the day Jiang Yunzhu came back, he rented a house for him and took him to see it immediately.


    There is a house not far from their home, the yard is not as big as Jiang¡¯s, and there are only three rooms, but the house is very nice, at least much better than the house that Xue Jing and the others live in in the county.


    There are courtyards at the front and back. Looking forward, there is a small river, and looking back, there is a green hill. Ruan immediately fell in love with this place. I lived in a cramped place for a long time, but when I came to this open place, I instantly felt like the sky was high and the clouds were clear.


    She took a long breath, only to feel that even the air became fresh.


    ¡°When spring comes, plant some melons and fruits in the yard, and you don¡¯t need to buy vegetables.¡± Chen said with a smile. This is also her plan. When spring starts next year, the garden will be filled with melons and fruits, which will save a lot of money.


    And the things grown at home are fresh and tender!


    ¡°En.¡± Ruan nodded, and she also began to look forward to such a day.


    Everyone helped to unload the donkey cart. Jiang Yunzhu told Xue Jing not to worry, and just wait until the house is cleaned up before going to work.


    Xue Jing promised well, and came to Jiang¡¯s house after a while. He was thinking about watching Jiang Yunzhu cook, and Ruan Shi was hardworking and caring, so he let him come.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the sky, it was still early.


    ¡°What¡¯s for lunch?¡± Mr. Wu looked out of the kitchen. In fact, he had just had breakfast not long ago, but he was already thinking about lunch.


    For breakfast this morning, Jiang Yunzhu made small wontons in chicken soup and tofu buns. The small wontons were delicious, and the tofu buns were unique. Mr. Wu resisted so much that he didn¡¯t have enough to eat.


    He asked Jiang Yunzhu to see if there were any surprises today, after all, the ¡°Bright Moon and Clear Spring¡± yesterday was really amazing.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t have the dish of ¡°Mingyue Qingquan¡± anymore, but she had to try her best to satisfy Mr. Wu. After seeing the weather, she decided to go to the city to see what fresh ingredients were available, and then ask about the school.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Mr. Wu said immediately, he was idle and had nothing to do.


    Jiang Yunzhu was fine, so he packed up, and the two left the house in Jiang Cheng¡¯s mule cart.


    ¡°Are you going to send Jiang Lin and the others to school in the county?¡± Jiang Cheng was surprised. He thought Jiang Yunzhu said that he was sending Jiang Lin and the others to school in the school in the town. After all, it was close to home, so Shu Xiu should be cheaper.


    ¡°Father, I want to come to the county to do business in the future, so it¡¯s not convenient for Jiang Lin and Jiang Wu to go to school in the county.¡± Jiang Yunzhu had already planned.


    ¡°County?¡± Jiang Cheng was taken aback again, this was the first time Jiang Yunzhu told him this idea.


    ¡°I went around the town when we moved here, and there is no good business at all.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, so she finally chose to sell food under the mine.


    The county is different, the county is bustling and bustling, there are many opportunities to make money, and if you do it well, you can earn more.


    Jiang Cheng thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the reason. However, it is difficult to do business in the county, as you can see from Xue Jing and his wife.


    ¡°What kind of business do you want to follow me?¡± Mr. Wu hummed. He doesn¡¯t love money, otherwise, not to mention gold and silver mountains, at least the money he makes is enough for the Jiang family to spend their entire lives.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, is it so easy to study medicine? She should continue cooking!


    ¡°Then where shall we go first?¡± Jiang Cheng asked after entering the county seat.


    Jiang Yunzhu had already thought about it, ¡°Go to Wenyuan Academy.¡± Wenyuan Academy is the best academy in the county, and Gu Yanzhou went to school here.


    The mule cart continued to move forward, and slowly, there were obviously more paper and pen shops on both sides of the street, and then I saw a tall archway in front of me, with four big characters flying and flying on the row, it was ¡°Wenyuan Academy¡±.


    Looking inside, there are many houses inside, covering an extremely large area. At this hour, the students should all be studying, and not many people came in and out of the academy.


    ¡°Are you going to send Jiang Lin and the others here?¡± Jiang Cheng looked at it with doubts.


    ¡°What kind of broken academy is this?¡± Mr. Wu was disgusted.


    Jiang Cheng glanced at Old Master Wu, only thinking that he had such an arrogant tone.


    Jiang Yunzhu ignored the two of them, got out of the car, and looked around. There is a pen and paper shop on the left. There is no business at this time, and the fat shopkeeper is standing at the door.


    ¡°The shopkeeper.¡± Jiang Yunzhu went over to chat with him.


    The fat shopkeeper saw that she was a beautiful girl who spoke nicely, so he was also willing to talk to her.


    After a while, Jiang Yunzhu asked about the situation.


    There is an enlightenment class under Wenyuan Academy, not here, but in the north of the city. Every year, Wenyuan Academy selects outstanding students from the enlightenment class for admission.


    Each person in the enlightenment class takes eight taels of courses every year, and they can attend as long as they pay the money, and the time is three years. After three years, if you still can¡¯t enter the academy, you can only leave.


    Jiang Yunzhu listened and felt that this Wenyuan Academy was a bit of a big wave washing the sand. Anyone can enter, but it is not certain who can come out in the end. This has the advantage of passing all the students in the county and keeping the outstanding students in their own academy.


    No wonder this academy is getting better and better.


    She immediately decided to send Jiang Lin and Jiang Wu to this enlightenment class. As for the final result, it is up to them.


    The fat shopkeeper has never heard of the girls¡¯ school.


    Jiang Yunzhu was not surprised either. During the seven years in her dream, she had traveled to many places, and she had heard that Huaying Academy was recruiting female students.


    After thanking the fat shopkeeper, she turned and sat back on the mule cart.


    ¡°You can actually ask Gu Yanzhou about the school.¡± Jiang Cheng remembered just now.


    Indeed, but when Jiang Yunzhu came here, there was one more thing. She wanted to see if the environment around Wenyuan Academy was suitable for opening a restaurant. She has tasted the sweetness in the mine, and she feels that it is easier to do business in such a crowded place with simple personnel.


    After turning around a lot, she already had a calculation in her mind. But now is not the time to finish school, some things are still unclear.


    This time was no different than last time, she had to investigate several times before making a decision.


    After leaving this street, they went straight to the vegetable market.


    The vegetable market in winter is obviously relatively sluggish, and the meat sold is okay. There are everything from pork and mutton, but the green vegetables are only cabbage, potatoes, and radishes. Even the lotus root and yam that were sold before are gone.


    ¡°There¡¯s not even a fresh sea bass.¡± When he came to the fish stall, Mr. Wu began to dislike him again.


    Along the way, he has never stopped, either here is bad, or there is bad.


    Jiang Yunzhu turned to look at him, what exactly was he trying to say.


    Mr. Wu approached Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Do you know the shad in Jiangdong? It melts in your mouth. There is also the perch in Songjiang, which is the freshest in the world. Not to mention the Schizothorax in Erhai Lake, mandarin fish in Lianhuan Lake¡­ Tsk tsk, you like cooking so much. Yi, don¡¯t you want to make a few for work?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s mouth was watering when he heard that, all the fish he mentioned were delicious in the world.


    Seeing that she was tempted, Mr. Wu continued, ¡°This small county is so big. Your skills are wasted for nothing. Why don¡¯t you follow me and let¡¯s travel around the world¡­¡± Mr. Wu squinted his eyes and became intoxicated when he said this.


    Jiang Yunzhu worshiped him as his teacher, and the two of them enjoyed the famous mountains and rivers together, went to Jiangdong to steam shad, went to Mobei to drink mare¡¯s milk, and went to Qiongzhou to eat crabs, wouldn¡¯t it be better than staying in this poor place?


    That¡¯s right, he still wanted Jiang Yunzhu to worship him as his teacher, and then take her out of this place, lest she be wronged.


    It is undeniable that for a moment, Jiang Yunzhu really wanted to leave with Mr. Wu. People stay in one environment for a long time, but it will be a little annoying. Moreover, she does have a lot of delicacies that she wants to eat and cook.


    But after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head, ¡°Old man, maybe I will go if I have a chance in the future, but not now.¡± Now, her career has just started.


    ¡°In the future, why in the future, how many futures are there in life? Are you worried about money?¡± Mr. Wu said, looking around. With his medical skills, he can treat a few people randomly, and the money will come soon.


    Jiang Yunzhu quickly stopped him, ¡°Master, I want to have a stable business, so that no matter where I am or what happens, I don¡¯t have to worry about money.


    Also, I have my family, it is good to travel around the world, but there are also times when I am tired, at that time, I know there is a place where I can go back at any time, isn¡¯t it great? ¡°


    Jiang Yunzhu still wanted to build a restaurant before talking about other things. Mainly, she didn¡¯t want to be forced by the old man to study medicine.


    At home, Mr. Wu was silent. He also had a home, a gentle wife, and a beautiful daughter. But when his daughter was ten years old, he had a strange disease. He had exhausted all his efforts, but he still couldn¡¯t save her.


    Later, his wife also left him, and he never returned home, and he also lost his home.


    Looking at his lonely look, Jiang Yunzhu felt that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly said, ¡°Old man, if you don¡¯t dislike it, you can stay at my house all the time, and go out for a walk when you are bored, and want to eat the food I made , come back.¡±


    Mr. Wu glanced at her, ¡°You don¡¯t dislike my old man?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, she could feel that Mr. Wu was doing it for her own good, besides, ¡°Maybe I will go out with Mr. Wu in the future!¡±


    Only then did Mr. Wu smile, and asked Jiang Yunzhu what he wanted to eat for lunch.


    Jiang Yunzhu caught two fat grass carp and had an idea.


    After buying vegetables, they went home in a mule cart.


    The largest restaurant in the county, Xiao Qisong stood on the second floor of the restaurant and looked down boredly. Since arriving in Wuling County, he has been to the mine once, and then he thought it was too remote, so he moved to live in the county town.


    But in his eyes, this county is far from the capital.


    He couldn¡¯t help but complain about his father, why did he bring him to this place where no shit.


    Just then, a mule cart rolled by. He glanced over casually, then he paused and looked at the people on the mule cart.


    All I saw was a rough girl, who seemed to be a beautiful girl, but was stopped by a passing carriage.


    Xiao Qisong moved his body left and right, trying to avoid the carriage and look at the people on the mule cart.


    At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a stunning beauty.


    Xiao Qisong stared blankly there.


    The carriage and the mule cart staggered, and the mule cart turned into a side street, and the carriage also accelerated.


    ¡°Quick, quick, that carriage.¡± Xiao Qisong pointed at the carriage and shouted. The servants around him were all used to doing this kind of thing with him, and immediately went downstairs to chase the carriage.


    On the other street, Jiang Yunzhu frowned. She seemed to have seen the carriage just now.


    She couldn¡¯t think of it for a while, so she could only sit in the car and move on.


    At this time, another person came from the other side of the street, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng, they had found Wei Kangping¡¯s body, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s case could be completely closed.


    But who killed Wei Kangping?


    In the past two days, Qilin Guard collected all the cases that happened in Wuling County in the past two weeks. Now, they are going to interrogate Li Quan.


    Just in time, they saw Xiao Qisong walking in the restaurant over there.


    ¡°Why did he come to Wuling County?¡± Yang Sheng knew Xiao Qisong. Speaking of which, he was one of the few people who walked out of the Qilin Guard¡¯s Zhenfu Division in one piece. After all, his father, King Huainan, is the emperor¡¯s uncle, and he has the merits of following the dragon. The emperor ordered him to release him, and Qi Linwei couldn¡¯t do anything about it.


    ¡°Huainan King is not willing to let him go to the battlefield, so he can only let him come to the mine to earn military merits.¡± Shen Fengming glanced at Xiao Qisong¡¯s back and said.


    ¡°Hmph, King Huainan is just such a precious bump, so of course he has to be careful.¡± Yang Sheng said.


    The two of them didn¡¯t care about Xiao Qisong, after all, he had only been in Wuling County for a few days.


    Here, Jiang Yunzhu returned home, saw Xue Jing, but remembered who was in that carriage, it was the beautiful woman who helped Ruan and told her not to meddle in her own business.


    The author has something to say:


    Later someone asked Jiang Lin, what is the secret of success


    Jiang Lin¡¯s sad face: Probably, there is a younger sister who is smarter and harder than you!

 Chapter 46

    Xiao Qi got out of the restaurant, and the guards and servants immediately helped him onto the horse, and a group of people chased the carriage.


    The carriage quickly turned into a street and stopped in front of a house.


    Xiao Qi got off his horse and went straight to the house.


    ¡°You are¡­¡± Two servants came over.


    ¡°Fuck you!¡± Xiao Qisong kicked the servants beside him like vicious dogs, and kicked the two servants down.


    Xiao Qisong was very satisfied, and swaggered into the yard, just in time to see a graceful figure walking into a nearby room. The room is elegantly furnished, and there is a carved soft bed, which seems to be the woman¡¯s residence.


    He rolled up his sleeves, followed quickly, and came to the door.


    The woman inside seemed to hear the voice from outside, and she asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± while trying to come out.


    Xiao Qisong finally saw her true face clearly. She was dressed in a white dress, her skin was creamy, her eyes were bright and her teeth were bright.


    He didn¡¯t expect this small place to be so stunning, he closed the door behind his back, bowed to the woman and said, ¡°Madam, what¡¯s your name?¡±


    Seeing his salivating face, Ji Sanniang felt that everything was going to die. Sure enough, he had already forgotten what he had done.


    ¡°Who are you, so rude, get out quickly.¡± She shouted in panic.


    Her face paled, but she was even more charming.


    Xiao Qisong couldn¡¯t bear to see it, so he didn¡¯t pretend anymore, he rushed over to Bao Ji Sanniang, and said in a nonchalant manner, ¡°Madam is so beautiful, how can you stay alone in the empty boudoir, come, let me love you. ¡°


    ¡°What are you doing, don¡¯t touch me. Come, help!¡± Ji Sanniang exclaimed.


    The guards and servants guarding outside were not surprised, and even showed a joking smile.


    There was an old man in front of the crowd. He had high cheekbones, was hale and hearty, and his temples were slightly bulging, proving that he was a master of inner strength.


    He looked around and felt that something was wrong with this family, but just now, taking advantage of the gap, he looked into the house and listened carefully. There was only one woman inside, and there was only one sound of breathing¡­ Maybe he was thinking too much.


    At this moment, in a family in the west of the county seat, Shen Fengming heard Li Quan describe what happened in the alley that day with snot and tears.


    He didn¡¯t see the person who hit him, but he could feel that it was a man who broke his leg.


    But there should have been a woman next to him at that time, because he smelled a faint fragrance.


    Woman, is the mastermind of this case a woman? Shen Fengming suddenly remembered a case file he had read before.


    ¡°Go, go find Xiao Qisong.¡± He said suddenly.


    ¡°Why?¡± Yang Sheng was puzzled.


    ¡°That person came to Wuling County probably because of him.¡± After saying this, Shen Fengming got on his horse.


    Xiao Qi hugged Ji Sanniang loosely, feeling warm and fragrant in his arms, and smelled a faint cold fragrance at the tip of his nose.


    ¡°Madam, what smells so good on you, let me smell it.¡± He approached Ji Sanniang with a teasing smile, and reached out to touch her body.


    At this time, Ji Sanniang turned cold, and just looked at him like that, completely different from the panicked look just now.


    Xiao Qisong was amazed, but soon, he felt his hands and feet were limp, and he wanted to open his mouth to call for help, but he couldn¡¯t.


    He looked at Ji Sanniang with horror on his face, and his body collapsed uncontrollably.


    Ji Sanniang took out a dagger from her bosom, looked at Xiao Qisong, wishing to chop him into pieces.


    Four years ago, it was also a winter, when Yunying was still unmarried, her father took her to the Jinguang Temple in Luzhou to offer incense, and this dude happened to see her.


    He wanted to **** her, but his father went up to stop her, and those evil slaves beat her father to death.


    Then in that Buddhist temple, under the watchful eyes of various gods and Buddhas, this dude raped her.


    At that time, she just wanted to die, once and for all. Her fianc¨¦, Han Shaoze, took care of her steadfastly at this moment. He said it wasn¡¯t her fault, it was that dude, and he insisted on seeking justice for her.


    He sued from the county to the state, and finally to the capital.


    At that time, she didn¡¯t even want to seek justice, she only hoped that Han Shaoze would be safe and sound.


    But what did she wait for? Covered in blood, he was beaten to the point of death. That handsome and handsome person, that person with a bright future, that person who would find ways to make her happy, just died in her arms.


    She hugged his corpse, screaming that every day should not be answered, and the earth was not working, she felt that her eyes were full of blood.


    At that time, she knew that there was no such thing as justice in this world.


    Then she will do that justice.


    She waited for the opportunity and sent those corrupt officials who were protecting each other to **** one by one.


    In the end, only this culprit remained.


    He is the son of King Huainan, and he was only passing through Luzhou that time. But it doesn¡¯t matter, she will go to the capital.


    But Shaoze was blessed by the spirit of heaven, but Xiao Qisong came to Luzhou.


    Today, she will avenge her father, Han Shaoze, and herself!


    Ji Sanniang held the dagger and stabbed it fiercely at Xiao Qi.


    Xiao Qisong was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, he tried his best to hide to the side.


    Maybe it was because he had unleashed his potential, but he really escaped, and the dagger was stuck in his arm. He grinned in pain, but felt that there was a little strength in his body. He saw the washstand by his feet, with a copper basin on it, and immediately kicked towards the washstand.


    The washstand wobbled, but didn¡¯t fall over.


    However, it collided with the copper basin and made a crisp sound.


    If it had been the past, Ji Sanniang should have pretended at this time to avoid suspicion from outsiders, but her eyes were already red now, and she only had eyes for the enemy in front of her, and she just wanted to kill him with a single blow.


    So she drew the dagger and went for the second stab.


    People outside heard the voice inside, and they were a little surprised, why there is only this kind of voice, usually it should be¡­


    The old man in front of the crowd suddenly changed his expression. He kicked open the door, just in time to see Ji Sanniang raising his knife to kill Xiao Qisong.


    It was too late to save her, so he grabbed a vase next to her and threw it at Ji Sanniang¡¯s hand.


    Just as the vase hit Ji Sanniang¡¯s wrist, the dagger fell to the ground with a crisp jingle.


    The old man jumped in front of Xiao Qisong in two steps, helped him up and looked him up and down, and asked, ¡°My lord, how are you?¡±


    Finding that Xiao Qisong¡¯s eyes were rolling but he couldn¡¯t speak, he took out a small bottle from his sleeve, opened it, and put it under his nose.


    Xiao Qisong smelled the pungent smell, and only then did he feel strength in his body.


    At this time, Ji Sanniang picked up the dagger and stabbed at Xiao Qi again.


    ¡°Bitch, how dare you!¡± The old man raised his leg and kicked Ji Sanniang.


    But he didn¡¯t hit it, a man jumped in from the outside, blocked Ji Sanniang, then backed away quickly with Ji Sanniang in his arms, and stepped aside.


    It was Song Li, Ji Sanniang looked at him, didn¡¯t she tell him to leave?


    Knowing that no matter whether he succeeds or not this time, he will lose his life, Ji Sanniang had asked Song Li to leave two days ago.


    Song Li smiled, he was not afraid of death, he went there to continue to serve the young lady and young master after he died.


    Unfortunately, he looked at Xiao Qisong¡­


    At this time, all the guards and servants outside rushed in, surrounded Xiao Qi loosely, Song Li couldn¡¯t hurt him at all. What¡¯s more, there is that old man, he already felt that he was not his opponent, and he was far away from the old man¡¯s kick just now.


    ¡°Kill her for me, no, grab her!¡± Xiao Qisong shouted while clutching the wound on his arm, he wanted to torture this woman, but he dared to hurt him.


    The guard servants rushed forward immediately.


    While Song Li wanted to protect Ji Sanniang, he also wanted to fight these people, and danger abounded.


    At this time, the old man suddenly shook his hand and threw something at him.


    It was a copper coin, and the copper coin happened to hit Song Li¡¯s knee.


    Song Li couldn¡¯t stand still, and fell to the side. At this time, those guards rushed up and pushed him to the ground.


    Ji Sanniang was also caught by two servants.


    Seeing this, Xiao Qisong came to Ji Sanniang¡¯s place, and went up to Ji Sanniang bitterly, reaching out to pinch her face.


    What a beautiful face, later on, let her¡­


    ¡°Don¡¯t touch Madam.¡± Seeing this, Song Li¡¯s pupils were filled with blood, and with a loud roar, he broke free from the oppression of the people on both sides, and rushed towards Xiao Qisong.


    The people next to him rushed to grab him, and someone grabbed his leg.


    In a blink of an eye, Song Li bumped into Xiao Qisong, knocking him to the ground, but he exhausted his strength and was restrained again.


    Xiao Qisong fell to the ground, furious, and just in his hand was the dagger that Ji Sanniang dropped earlier, he picked up the dagger, stood up and stabbed Song Li.


    Once, twice, the old man grabbed his arm, ¡°Master, your hands are dirty.¡± The old man said worriedly. Just kill someone and let the servants come.


    Xiao Qisong threw away the dagger resentfully, and walked towards Ji Sanniang.


    Ji Sanniang didn¡¯t cry or make trouble, just looked at him so coldly. If she couldn¡¯t kill him today, she had already imagined that it would end like this. She had to remember his appearance, even if she turned into a ghost, she would still take his life.


    Xiao Qisong was annoyed in his heart and wanted to go forward, but he was also afraid that Ji Sanniang would be like Song Li, so he said to the old man, ¡°Uncle Li, take off her arms and legs and see what she can do!¡±


    Li Cun hesitated, this¡­


    ¡°Uncle Li, today I have to let her survive, not die. Aren¡¯t you afraid that I will be hurt by her?¡± Xiao Qi said to Li Cun loosely and half coquettishly.


    Of course not, Li Cun looked at Ji Sanniang and twisted her body a few times, Ji Sanniang¡¯s arms and legs were all dislocated, and the whole person was supported by the people next to him, so he didn¡¯t fall. on the ground.


    ¡°Don¡¯t put it on the bed for me yet, I¡¯ll show my might!¡± Xiao Qisong shouted.


    The servants on both sides laughed and put Ji Sanniang on the bed.


    It¡¯s really delicate and soft.


    Xiao Qisong leaned forward and reached out to untie Ji Sanniang¡¯s clothes.


    Her arms and legs were all dislocated, and Ji Sanniang was in so much pain that she was covered in beads of sweat, but she still didn¡¯t say a word, just looking at Xiao Qisong.


    Her eyes were too sharp and deep, Xiao Qisong was so scared by her, so he slapped her.


    Ji Sanniang didn¡¯t hide, but turned her face slightly, and then bit one of his fingers.


    She didn¡¯t know how much force she used, but just this one bit off Xiao Qisong¡¯s index finger, and blood gushed out.


    ¡°Ah¡­ hiss¡­¡± Fingers connected to his heart, Xiao Qi loosely covered his injured hand, hopping in pain.


    ¡°My lord.¡± Li Cun hurried over to check his injuries.


    ¡°My finger.¡± Xiao Qisong roared.


    Li Cun turned around and pinched Ji Sanniang¡¯s chin to prevent her from crushing or swallowing that finger. Then when he exerted force, Ji Sanniang¡¯s jaw dislocated, and the severed finger fell down.


    Li Cun quickly caught it, and said to Xiao Qi, ¡°My lord, hurry to the medical clinic, maybe you can catch it.¡±


    Xiao Qisong wanted to go out, but before he left, he said harshly to the guards and servants, ¡°You bitch, **** her, **** her hard, and kill her.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± Those guards and servants looked at Ji Sanniang, who looked like a bright moon, and replied in response.


    At this moment, there was a figure shaking at the door.


    Li Cun¡¯s eyesight was excellent, and he immediately saw the clothes of those people clearly, and couldn¡¯t help but turn pale with shock.


    Qilin Guard, how could it be Qilin Guard?


    There was no time to think about why Qilin Wei appeared here, Li Cun grabbed Xiao Qisong¡¯s waist, jumped up and wanted to jump up the wall and leave here first.


    At this time, he saw a cold light, which came straight to him.


    Li Cun knew that it was a knife shadow, a fast and sharp knife shadow.


    No way, he fell into the courtyard again.


    Shen Fengming held the knife and stood on the eaves, looking down at them. The north wind blew the corner of his clothes, whistling and whistling.


    Both Li Cun and Xiao Qisong saw him.


    Li Cun fell into an ice cellar, he couldn¡¯t believe his eyes, how could this King of Hades be here.


    Xiao Qisong was so frightened that his legs limp. Shen Fengming and Qilinwei were his nightmares, and he never wanted to see him in his life.


    Coincidentally, I saw him again now.


    Over there, Yang Sheng brought someone in from the outside, and asked with a smile, ¡°In such a hurry, where are you going?¡±


    Suddenly, he smelled a **** smell, and immediately said to the people next to him, ¡°Go into the house and have a look.¡±


    Qilinwei rushed into the room quickly, and saw a person lying on the floor of the room, the man¡¯s chest and abdomen were covered with blood, and over there, a group of guards and servants were about to tear off a woman¡¯s clothes¡­


    Everyone in Qilinwei could only see the blood rushing up, and threw them into the yard one by one like chickens, and then ran back to report to Yang Sheng.


    After Yang Sheng listened, the smile on his face disappeared.


    At this time, Shen Fengming also fell from the eaves, seeing the scene in the house, a cold light flashed in his eyes.


    ¡°Go and invite Mr. Wu here.¡± He also heard the guard¡¯s report, the lying man was still alive, and the woman seemed to be injured too.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Someone led the order out.


    Afterwards, Shen Fengming looked at Li Cun and Xiao Qisong, Xiao Qisong had a lot of blood on his body, obviously, he was the murderer.


    He raises his hand in the air to grasp the fist. This is Qilinwei¡¯s command gesture, which means arresting people.


    Those qilin guards left to surround Li Cun and Xiao Qisong, wanting to arrest them.


    Li Cun embraced Xiao Qisong, and said to Shen Fengming, ¡°Master Shen, the matter is not what you think, the woman in the room is going to kill my young master.¡±


    ¡°Ji Sanniang, a native of Yuming County, Luzhou, seduced the prince of Huainan Xiao Qisong in Jinguang Temple four years ago, but because the seduction failed, he ordered his father to beat the prince of Huainan, and the servant of the prince of Huainan missed and killed him.


    Xiao Qisong was sentenced to pay Ji Jiayin one hundred taels.


    Half a month later, his fianc¨¦ Han Shaoze beat the drums to appeal for grievances. The magistrate of Zheng County upheld the original sentence and gave him twenty sticks as an example.


    Another month, Han Shaoze complained in Luzhou and gave him a cane of forty.


    Half a year later, Han Shaoze went to the middle of the capital to beat the Dengwen Drum, and the people sued the officials for forty sticks. After forty sticks, Han Shaoze withdrew the lawsuit and was sent back to his hometown. ¡°Shen Fengming talked about the whole story of Ji Sanniang¡¯s case one by one.


    Li Cun and Xiao Qisong were stunned, it turned out that the woman in the room was called Ji Sanniang, it turned out that Xiao Qisong had raped her four years ago.


    At this time, Xiao Qisong finally remembered that there seemed to be such a thing. That year when he passed by Luzhou, he heard that Jinguang Temple had a beautiful scenery, so he went to visit it, and then saw a very pretty girl, so he moved his mind.


    He had long forgotten what Ji Sanniang looked like, even if he thought about it now, he still felt very vague.


    In the room, Ji Sanniang was already lying on the bed like a dead person, but when Shen Fengming said it, tears burst out of her eyes. To others, it was just a few words, but to her, it was a lifetime of nightmares.


    After Yang Sheng listened, he looked at Xiao Qisong with colder eyes. He hates this kind of person who bullies women the most.


    The last time Xiao Qisong was arrested in the Qilin Guard, it was because he robbed the women of the people. It seems that he is a repeat offender.


    ¡°That bitch, he seduced me.¡± Xiao Qi said bitterly. He just said halfway, met Shen Fengming¡¯s gaze, and quickly hid behind Li Cun.


    Li Cun protected him, and said to Shen Fengming, ¡°Master Shen, this is an old case, this woman is still here to harm my young master, it shows that she is not a cheap lamp, Master Shen, don¡¯t be fooled by her.¡±


    Then he changed the subject and said, ¡°Lord Shen also knows that our lord did not have my son until he was forty-two years old, and there is only one son of my family. If Lord Shen is willing to show his noble hand today, I will promise Lord Shen on behalf of our lord. In the future, Lord Shen If our lord is useful, our lord will definitely help him.¡±


    His promise is not insignificant.


    The King of Huainan, the uncle of the current emperor, speaks a lot of weight among the clan and nobles.


    ¡°What¡¯s more, in terms of speaking, Mr. Shen still calls our prince an uncle, and we are not outsiders with our young master.¡± Li Cun said.


    He kept talking so much just to impress Shen Fengming. He looked towards Shen Fengming.


    ¡°I only handle cases.¡± Shen Fengming only said.


    When handling a case, don¡¯t talk about family affection, don¡¯t talk about interests.


    Li Cun understood what he meant and choked his breath in his throat. This Shen Fengming was indeed as cold and ruthless as in the legend.


    At this time, those qilin guards had rushed up, reaching out to grab Xiao Qisong.


    Li Cun waved the crowd away, and shouted sharply, ¡°Master Shen, are you really going to embarrass us?¡±


    Shen Fengming looked at him like a knife out of its sheath, sharp and cold.


    Li Cun knew that he couldn¡¯t be good today, he took out an object from his waist, and shouted to all the qilin guards, ¡°Get away from me!¡± Then he held the object and asked Shen Fengming, ¡°Master Shen, do you know this object? ¡°


    When Yang Sheng saw that thing, he was secretly surprised, the Golden Dragon Token is the Golden Dragon Token bestowed by the emperor, seeing the token is like seeing the emperor.


    Those qilin guards were also knowledgeable, they didn¡¯t dare to neglect, and quickly knelt down.


    Yang Sheng hesitated for a while, and then knelt down. There should be proper etiquette, otherwise it would be a crime of disrespect.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s brows and eyes became more and more fierce, he raised the knife in his hand, ¡°Kunwu knife, the emperor gave me the right to cut first and then play!¡±


    ¡°Catch it,¡± he said.


    Yang Sheng and the others stood up and rushed towards Xiao Qisong. This time they took a breath of anger in their hearts, and they all wanted to catch him at once.


    Li Cunzhen didn¡¯t expect that Shen Fengming wasn¡¯t even afraid of the Golden Dragon Order.


    He had seen Shen Fengming¡¯s saber just now, and he thought to himself that there was no way for him to leave with Xiao Qisong. Helpless, he could only let go of Xiao Qisong first, then dodged a few times, and rushed back.


    When this kind of thing happened, there must always be someone to report it, and then let Huainan King handle it. It is estimated that only the king of Huainan went to ask the emperor, just like last time, that this matter will have a chance to ease.


    ¡°Don¡¯t let him run away.¡± Yang Sheng said urgently.


    Those guards desperately tried to stop Li Cun, but Li Cun¡¯s martial arts were too high, if he wanted to escape, they couldn¡¯t stop him at all.


    Seeing that Li Cun was about to jump over the crowd, a figure leaped from behind and blocked Li Cun¡¯s path with a single knife.


    Li Cun took two steps back, and asked Shen Fengming sharply, ¡°Master Shen, do you really want to do something? It¡¯s not certain what will happen in the end, so you don¡¯t have to be afraid¡­¡±


    Shen Fengming¡¯s knife is faster than one knife.


    Li Cun only dodged a few knives, and accidentally injured his shoulder.


    He stood there with his shoulders in his arms and did not move, he was afraid that he would die in Shen Fengming¡¯s hands.


    Li Cun, Xiao Qisong and others were arrested and interrogated on the spot.


    Xiao Qisong had been frightened for a long time and softened his hands and feet. When Yang Sheng threatened him a little, he would pour beans into a bamboo tube and talk about everything that happened four years ago and today.


    While Li Cun was listening, he gave him winks several times, but it didn¡¯t work, so he just stood there and didn¡¯t move.


    So what if the son pleaded guilty? It is related to the royal family, and the final decision on this matter has to be made by the emperor.


    When he arrives in the capital, he can make the young master retort that Qilinwei¡¯s people threatened him, and he will plead guilty. If the king of Huainan interceded in front of the emperor, he felt that the emperor would definitely spare his son¡¯s life.


    Seeing Li Cun like that, Yang Sheng guessed what he was thinking. But there is no way, it seems that this is the only way to go. The emperor values Huainan Wang very much, so he should be lenient towards Xiao Qi.


    The last time Xiao Qi robbed a civilian girl, what did the emperor say? Let Xiao Qisong take the girl as a concubine and let him go.


    It seems that compensating that folk girl in this way is a great gift to that folk girl.


    Indeed, a common girl who can be a noble concubine of the palace, in the eyes of outsiders, is indeed like flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix.


    But Yang Sheng felt depressed and felt that things should not be like this.


    This time I don¡¯t know what the emperor said.


    During the interrogation here, Mr. Wu was brought over.


    As soon as he saw Shen Fengming, he became very angry. He was about to see what delicious Jiang Yunzhu made for lunch, what was he doing?


    Then he saw Song Li who was covered in blood, and Ji Sanniang who was limp on the bed.


    To be honest, Mr. Wu felt pity for Ji Sanniang like this.


    This time he didn¡¯t make it difficult for Shen Fengming, first healed Song Li, which saved his life, and then connected Ji Sanniang¡¯s jaw, arms, and legs.


    In the middle, Ji Sanniang didn¡¯t say a word, and Mr. Wu wondered if she was a wooden person. This bone pain is not something ordinary people can bear.


    Ji Sanniang only stared at Shen Fengming and Xiao Qisong over there. She wanted to complain, but she knew that there was no justice in this world. In the end, Xiao Qisong may be acquitted.


    Instead, she was charged with seducing people.


    How ridiculous!


    Old Master Wu saw Shen Fengming following her line of sight, and snorted, ¡°The eagle dog of the imperial court¡±.


    At this time, a guard read Shen Fengming¡¯s final judgment, and when he heard the words ¡°judgment¡±, everyone was shocked.

 Chapter 47

    ¡°Fengming.¡± Yang Cheng hurried a few steps, came to Shen Fengming¡¯s side, and said in a low voice, ¡°You really want to do this?¡± Killing Xiao Qisong will cause big trouble.


    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t he be killed?¡± Shen Fengming asked him.


    Of course, but they can¡¯t do it, or, ¡°Isn¡¯t it easy to kill him?¡± On the way back to Beijing, they used any means to discipline Xiao Qisong to die without anyone noticing, and then no one could rely on them on the head.


    Shen Fengming understood what he meant, but if they did that, what would be the difference between them and those criminals.


    There are some things that he doesn¡¯t want to do, and some things that he must do!


    Seeing him like that, Yang Sheng understood what he was thinking, he sighed and laughed at the same time.


    He has been following him, why? Is Tu being scolded as ¡°the eagle dog of the imperial court¡± every day, or is Tu going through the wind and rain every day, licking blood on the tip of a knife? Just because he dared to do what he didn¡¯t dare to do, what he wanted to do but couldn¡¯t do, and he didn¡¯t kill indiscriminately.


    In the dark, the heart is toward the light, but with the heart, live a carefree life!


    Breathing out a foul breath, Yang Sheng smiled and said, ¡°Okay, kill him!¡± Man, that¡¯s how it should be.


    But soon, he remembered something and asked Shen Fengming, ¡°Tell me, is there a shortage of waiters at Miss Jiang¡¯s place?¡± If he is dismissed, he can still get a job again. He has no other skills, but his hands and feet are quite fast, and he has a good tongue.


    Shen Fengming raised his eyebrows, really looked him up and down, and then said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the emperor won¡¯t do anything to you.¡±


    Yang Sheng laughed, he knew it. I have to say, it¡¯s great to have a boss like him, who can cause troubles and resist them, so he can just rush and don¡¯t care about other things.


    Xiao Qisong, Li Cun and several guards were pushed to the front.


    Xiao Qisong¡¯s case is not limited to Ji Sanniang¡¯s case. He bullied men and women and committed all kinds of crimes all these years.


    Li Cun is his biggest accomplice, and he has two lives alone, which is also decisive.


    The few guards and servants who followed Xiao Qisong for a long time, almost none of them were clean, made a decisive decision.


    There were only three newcomers who followed him, and they were sentenced to forty rods and ten years in prison.


    Xiao Qisong was so scared that he wet his pants immediately, his lips moved for a long time, but he couldn¡¯t say a complete sentence.


    Li Cun couldn¡¯t believe it at first, but when he saw that the beheading knife had been raised, he also turned pale with fright.


    ¡°You can¡¯t kill me, I have the Golden Dragon Order bestowed by the emperor on me.¡±


    ¡°Are you not afraid that the emperor will blame you, and the prince will make things difficult for you?¡±


    ¡°Master Shen, I¡¯m just following orders, everything is Xiao Qisong¡¯s idea, please let me go.¡±


    ¡°Master Shen¡­¡±


    Some of the other guards and servants who were held there fainted from fright, some cried out for grievances, and some were at a loss.


    How fierce they were before, how panicked they are now. It turned out that they would be afraid too.


    Those three who had been spanked did not dare to vent their anger loudly, for fear that Shen Fengming would think of them again.


    The knife was raised high, and it fell with a swipe. A piece of human head fell to the ground, and blood spattered several meters.


    ¡°Ah! Haha¡­¡± Ji Sanniang was right next to her. She killed so many people. Even though they were all corrupt officials, the crime was not punishable.


    But she was not worried at all, Xiao Qisong¡¯s blood splashed on the ground in front of her, she just thought it was the most beautiful color and flower in the world.


    ¡°Father, Shaoze, did you see it? Haha¡­¡± She cried and laughed, and suddenly, she half sat up, knelt down respectfully in Shen Fengming¡¯s direction, and fell on the ground, ¡°Thank you, my lord.¡±


    It turns out that there is still justice in this world, but it¡¯s a pity that I haven¡¯t met him long ago.


    Yang Sheng sighed, there are too many injustices in this world, after staying in Qilinwei for a long time, seeing these things, he began to doubt life. In fact, it¡¯s not just him, there are often Qilinwei people who suddenly become sad, and even have to quit halfway. How ugly the human heart can be, is this world really worth it?


    At this time, he remembered what he said to Jiang Yunzhu as a waiter just now. Although it was a joke, he felt happy when she was together and eating the food she cooked.


    Suddenly, Yang Cheng realized something was wrong, Ji Sanniang¡¯s body was lying down, wasn¡¯t it?


    Mr. Wu also noticed something was wrong, walked up to Ji Sanniang a few steps, pushed her body, only to find that her chest and abdomen were full of blood.


    He quickly checked her breath, then shook his head.


    Ji Sanniang was injured, and she was a woman again, the Qilin guards did not tie her up, she had hidden a pair of scissors in her sleeve at some point, and at this moment, she was gone.


    But she had a smile on her face, her expression was peaceful, it seemed that she was not dead, but fell asleep, and was having a very beautiful dream.


    In the light of the sun, she saw Han Shaoze, he was as gentle and handsome as she remembered.


    He came on horseback, smiling and reaching out to her.


    She took his hand and got on his horse.


    They move forward together, and they will never be separated again.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am.¡± Song Li had already woken up after receiving treatment. Seeing Ji Sanniang like this, he wept and threw himself in front of her dead body.


    He dare not touch her body, she will always be the one who is pure and innocent in his heart.


    He just kowtowed continuously, begging Shen Fengming to let her body be buried next to Mr. Han¡¯s grave, he knew that it was her last wish.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Fengming agreed.


    Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng still have a lot of aftermath to deal with, Mr. Wu muttered a few words, and left first.


    He still doesn¡¯t like Shen Fengming and Qilinwei, and thinks that Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s side is better.


    After walking two streets, he suddenly saw a person coming from the other side. The man was wearing a bamboo-colored gown, and in this withered winter, he was as bright as the morning light, whether it was Gu Yanzhou or someone else.


    Mr. Wu stopped there and looked Gu Yanzhou up and down. The face is like a crown jade, the eyes are like stars, and she looks very good. He is tall and tall, with perfect proportions, especially his slender waist and long legs. Based on his experience, his ability in that aspect is absolutely unmistakable.


    In particular, his personality is pleasing, intelligent and elegant, like a gentleman and a beautiful jade, unlike that surnamed Shen, who is as cold as a piece of ice, just look at him, and you don¡¯t need to drink cold drinks in summer.


    Mr. Wu nodded frequently. From his point of view, he had to admit that Gu Yanzhou was outstanding in every aspect.


    Gu Yanzhou also saw Mr. Wu, and asked with a smile, ¡°Why is Mr. Wu here?¡±


    His smile, like white plums and falling snow, is even more handsome and elegant.


    ¡°Come out for a walk, what are you doing?¡± Mr. Wu said.


    Gu Yanzhou just went to the academy, he actually has nothing to learn in the academy now, just study some ancient books with the teacher.


    Mr. Wu grabbed his hand, ¡°Go, follow me back.¡±


    ¡°Hey, old man, where are you going?¡±


    ¡°Where else can I go? It¡¯s still a question, I don¡¯t think you are that smart.¡± Mr. Wu said with disgust.


    Gu Yanzhou: This is the first time someone said he wasn¡¯t smart enough.


    Jiang Yunzhu has already prepared all kinds of things at this time. Fortunately, she bought some kitchen utensils for cooking a while ago, otherwise she might not be able to find suitable ones.


    ¡°Boss, do you want to cook fish for lunch?¡± Xue Jing asked Jiang Yunzhu with bright eyes, looking at the two lively grass carp in the basin.


    ¡°Well, this fish is eaten by oneself, not for sale.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Shall I handle these two fish? You can give me some pointers.¡± Xue Jing said.


    Jiang Yunzhu: ¡­ On what it is like to have an overly enthusiastic employee. She can only nod.


    Xue Jing picked up the two fish, removed the gills and scraped the scales, opened the belly, and even removed the black film in the belly of the fish and the fishy line on the fish.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that he had the answer to the question just now, that is, it was very cool! You don¡¯t have to do anything yourself, and you do it very well.


    If so, she is also willing to point Xue Jing.


    ¡°What should we do next?¡± Xue Jing put the fish on the chopping board and asked Jiang Yunzhu respectfully.


    ¡°Chop some green onions, ginger, garlic and coriander, and marinate the two fish.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xue Jing immediately started cutting.


    After the fish was marinated, Jiang Yunzhu looked at the sky and decided to make a takeaway order for noon first.


    ¡°Boss, what should I do?¡± Xue Jing was even more excited when he heard that he was going to make other dishes.


    Jiang Yunzhu was also polite, and asked him to oil the meat, blanch the vegetables, and so on. This kind of work requires certain skills, the meat can¡¯t be aged, and the vegetables can¡¯t be blanched. It used to be done by Jiang Yunzhu, but now it¡¯s handed over to Xue Jing, and she feels a lot easier.


    In the middle, she will tell Xue Jing some cooking tips and precautions, such as how to make the fried pork skin more rosy and soft.


    When Xue Jing listened to the first sentence, he recited it several times silently in his heart, and quickly memorized it in his heart. When he heard the second sentence, he felt as if he had found a treasure. When he heard the third sentence, he felt that Jiang Yunzhu was really pointing him, and his heart was moved.


    It was not so easy to learn art in ancient times. Take Xue Jing for example. He followed his master since he was seven years old, bringing him tea and water, washing clothes and pouring chamber pots. It took him three full years before his master began to teach him skills.


    After studying for six years, he worked for his master for six years in vain.


    Just like this, only 60% of his master¡¯s craftsmanship was passed on to him, and the rest was not passed on at all. Church apprentice, master starved to death!


    Jiang Yunzhu was different, he was given wages and taught him skills, how could Xue Jing not be grateful, how dare he not work hard.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu started cooking, boiled pork, Jiaoliu meatballs¡­ She did not shy away from Xue Jing in cooking these dishes, after all, she wanted to hand over the business of the mine to him in the future.


    Among these dishes, there were several that Xue Jing had never heard of.


    He was fascinated by watching it, and wished he could do two exercises immediately.


    After finishing these dishes, Chen and the others served, distributed, and delivered the rice, and Jiang Yunzhu had nothing to do. She looked at the two fish and felt that they were almost done, so she was ready to start cooking the fish.


    At this time, Mr. Wu came back with Gu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Old man?¡± Jiang Yunzhu wondered why he was with Gu Yanzhou.


    ¡°I like this kid, let him follow me in the future.¡± Mr. Wu said.


    Jiang Yunzhu: What she thought of was that Mr. Wu thought that Gu Yanzhou was smart and wanted to take him in as his apprentice.


    Gu Yanzhou: He doesn¡¯t understand what Mr. Wu is talking about.


    ¡°Eat here at noon, there are delicious things.¡± Mr. Wu patted Gu Yanzhou¡¯s shoulder.


    Gu Yanzhou felt that it seemed good to follow the old man, and he smiled lightly.


    Everyone seems to be happy.


    Mr. Wu entered the kitchen and saw the two marinated grass carp, ¡°This kind of fish is not tender at all, what are you going to do?¡±


    ¡°Make grilled fish.¡± Jiang Yunzhu started to work while talking.


    ¡°Grilled fish?¡± Mr. Wu and Xue Jing couldn¡¯t help shouting. I haven¡¯t heard of anyone grilling grass carp. They are all grilled crucian carp, sea bass, etc. Grass carp is thick, can it be delicious after grilling?


    ¡°You¡¯ll know when you make it.¡± What Jiang Yunzhu is going to do is naturally the modern popular grilled fish with soup. According to legend, this dish was created by a woman from Wan Qingye¡¯s family, and it doesn¡¯t exist yet.


    This kind of grilled fish is like a hot pot, which is suitable for eating in this weather.


    When she said that, Mr. Wu and Xue Jing became very interested and watched from the side.


    Even Gu Yanzhou seemed to have forgotten the famous saying that the gentleman is far away from the cook, and watched from the sidelines.


    First cut the fish into a flower knife, and then put it on the charcoal stove to roast. Be sure to pay attention to the heat and not burn it. Pay attention to brush oil on the fish in the middle.


    After about ten minutes, the fish will be charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it¡¯s almost done.


    At this time, start the pot, put hot oil in the pot, and put the onion, ginger, pepper, watercress and other things into the pot.


    There was a piercing sound of frying, and a cloud of hot air gushed out of the pot accompanied by an open flame, and a spicy and spicy smell rushed straight into the nostrils.


    Jiang Yunzhu moved quickly, frying the spices and adding soup.


    At the same time, two charcoal stoves were set up here, and two iron plates were placed on them.


    When the soup boils, put the grilled fish into the iron plate, and put potatoes, vermicelli, fungus, cabbage, etc. at the same time, and then pour the cooked soup into the plate, a grilled fish full of fragrance¡­¡± After a while, these things taste good and you can eat them.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Mr. Wu¡¯s mouth is watering. It¡¯s the first time he¡¯s seen this kind of grilled fish. It¡¯s grilled and boiled, like a pot, but not a pot.


    Gu Yanzhou also showed surprise in his eyes, this method of grilling fish is really unheard of.


    Xue Jing was very excited, how many signature dishes his boss had, and why one after another, he really felt that agreeing to be Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s chef was the wisest decision in his life.


    Mr. Wu helped prepare the meal, and Jiang Yunzhu made grilled fish with sauce and flavor.


    After a while, two grilled fish dishes were placed on the table, and the soup had already started bubbling.


    ¡°What¡¯s delicious?¡± Yang Sheng asked anxiously when he entered the door. He could smell this fragrance from a long distance away, so it¡¯s too fragrant!


    ¡°Grilled fish, come and taste it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said with eyebrows bent.


    The deliciously fragrant food and the smiling face filled with heat seem to dispel all the cold and gloom immediately.


    Shen Fengming only felt that the room was too warm, so warm that his brows and eyes slightly raised.


    Yang Sheng even bluffed, ¡°Is this grilled fish? Why is it so delicious, hurry up, eat and eat.¡± He felt that life was so beautiful.


    When he started eating, Mr. Wu immediately picked up a piece of fish belly. There is only one big thorn on the belly of the fish, and it is full of fat. It can be said that it is the best piece of meat on the fish.


    Putting it directly into his mouth, his eyes widened immediately, really, it was so delicious that it exploded!


    The hot juice, the spicy taste, and the smell of grilled fish exploded in his mouth.


    Especially the fish skin, which is soft, glutinous and firm, and full of soup, is not comparable to ordinary grilled fish.


    ¡°This grilled fish is delicious!¡± He praised.


    Yang Sheng also quickly picked up his chopsticks. What he picked up was fish tail. The meat of the fish tail was tender but thorny, but the grilled fish made by Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t eat the small thorns at all, leaving only the fresh and tender taste.


    After he finished eating, he sighed comfortably. On a cold day, eating such a pot of grilled fish is life!


    Shen Fengming also ate it, and the unique taste made him slightly startled.


    Gu Yanzhou ate a chopstick, only to feel that, as expected, it was right to follow Mr. Wu.


    In addition to eating fish, there are also side dishes. There are several side dishes in it. In addition, Jiang Yunzhu also prepared a variety of side dishes on the table.


    The side dishes are stained with the aroma of grilled fish, and have their own taste, which makes people unable to stop eating.


    Two fish and a table of vegetables were eaten cleanly. Only then did Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng realize that such a delicious fish was only made of ordinary grass carp.


    ¡°With this grilled fish, Miss Jiang can open a restaurant in the capital.¡± Yang Sheng said.


    He was a bit exaggerated, but Jiang Yunzhu liked it. The love of diners for food is the affirmation of chefs.


    After the meal, Mr. Wu took Gu Yanzhou to mutter, and said a few words to Jiang Yunzhu from time to time, asking her to sit down and rest together for a while.


    In the room, Yang Sheng was discussing with Shen Fengming about returning to Beijing. Yes, back to the capital, the news of Xiao Qisong¡¯s murder spread back to the capital, the emperor will definitely ask Shen Fengming to go back to the capital with him to explain the matter.


    This Yang Sheng is not so worried, Shen Fengming already has a countermeasure.


    It¡¯s just that Jiang Yunzhu is here, he looked at the three people in the courtyard, and said to Shen Fengming, ¡°This time, we can¡¯t go like this again.¡±


    He was worried for him, he wouldn¡¯t just wait in the same place, and when he turned around one day, he would marry someone else, what would he do?

 Chapter 48

    At the end of the day, someone knocked on the door suddenly, Mrs. Chen went to open the door, only to find that it was a policeman, who said that the main culprit in the previous case had been found, and now the case was to be closed, and Jiang¡¯s family was asked to go to the county government.


    ¡°Caught someone?¡± Chen exclaimed, she has been thinking about this matter.


    The policeman looked troubled, arresting, it¡¯s not arresting, someone threw Wei Kangping¡¯s body at the gate of the county government office.


    It was the same last time, the two criminals even took the initiative to ask them to arrest them¡­ Anyway, the case was full of weirdness, but the county magistrate¡¯s face remained unchanged, and the case was closed like this.


    Chen¡¯s voice alarmed everyone in the family.


    When Jiang Cheng came out, he heard that Wei Kangping had been arrested, and he was about to go to the county government immediately.


    When Jiang Yunzhu came out, it happened that Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng also came out, her eyes turned around the two of them, wondering whether this matter was related to them.


    ¡°Father, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± She said to Jiang Cheng, she wanted to go to the county government to see what was going on.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Cheng set the car.


    The two of them came to the gate of the county yamen for a while, but there was already a person standing there, it was Mrs. Liu.


    ¡°Auntie, you¡¯re here too.¡± Jiang Yunzhu greeted her.


    ¡°En.¡± Liu¡¯s mind was a little absent-minded, she answered casually, and looked into the county government office.


    Jiang Yunzhu knew that she was definitely not at peace, so she didn¡¯t bother her, and stood there with Jiang Cheng, waiting for Mengzhi County to summon her.


    At this moment, two more people appeared on the street over there. The one in front of him was full of stubble and red eyes, and it was Li Escort. He has lost a lot of weight since the last time we saw him, and the originally strong and strong man now looks extremely tired.


    Next to him was a middle-aged man with a dog-greasy beard, and while trotting hard to keep up with Chief Li, he said flatteringly, ¡°Boss Li, you can continue to rent that shop to me, I promise, This time there will be no rent arrears.


    You also know that my mother is sick, and the medicine costs a lot of money every day. There are three children in the family, and my wife is not in good health. I really have no money, so I¡­¡±


    ¡°Get out! If you don¡¯t get out, I¡¯ll beat you to the ground, believe it or not.¡± Li Escort raised his big fist, as if to hit the middle-aged man.


    The middle-aged man fell to his knees with a thump, and begged with snot and tears, ¡°Li Biaotou, it¡¯s really difficult at home, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t beg you.


    That shop is the life of my family, if you take it back, our family will have to¡­¡±


    Escort Li really wanted to kick him to death, because he had listened to his nonsense before, so he rented the shop to him so cheaply, and told him that if it was inconvenient at home, he would owe the rent first.


    As a result, someone told him just a few days ago that his mother was not sick at all.


    ¡°Are you going to get out? Otherwise, I¡¯m going to do it.¡± Li Biaotou said angrily, clenching his fists.


    Gray saw that he seemed to be serious, so he didn¡¯t dare to cry anymore, covered his face with his sleeve, and carefully sized Escort Li.


    Li Escort ignored him and continued to head towards the county government office.


    When he was far away, Gray took a sip on the ground, rolled his eyes, stood up, and walked to the back alley.


    ¡°Head Li, who is this?¡± Jiang Cheng asked in surprise when he saw Li Biao¡¯s appearance. He hadn¡¯t seen him for a while, how could he be so emaciated.


    Mentioning this, Li Yan became angry and anxious. Li Yan was frightened that time, and his health has not been good. A few days ago, he suffered from cough again, and he was out of breath every day. The family visited doctors everywhere, even all the doctors in Luzhou, but his illness never improved.


    Some people said that Li Yan may have suffered from tuberculosis, and some even said that he was asked to prepare for his funeral¡­


    Escort Li wanted to kill Wei Kangping.


    He looked at Jiang Cheng and reluctantly said, ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± He had only met Jiang Cheng twice, so it was useless to tell him these things.


    Jiang Cheng, however, remembered that he had sold the mule to him cheaply, and felt ashamed.


    At this time, a policeman came out from the county government office, and Mengzhi County sent them in.


    Meng Zhixian sat in the hall and asked Liu and others to identify whether the person under the white cloth over there was Wei Kangping.


    The police quickly lifted the white cloth, revealing the corpse underneath.


    The weather was cold in winter, and Wei Kangping had been dead for several days, but his body was not decomposed, and it still kept his appearance before he died.


    His face was completely distorted due to pain, his eyes were wide open, and he seemed to be able to see the despair and fear before his death.


    ¡°Ah!¡± Liu Shi suddenly saw such a face and was taken aback. But she quickly calmed down, biting her lip and staring at that face, as if she wanted to burst out all the emotions in her heart.


    Jiang Cheng was also taken aback.


    However, Escort Li spat fiercely at Wei Kangping¡¯s corpse, a good death!


    The three confirmed that the body was Wei Kangping.


    Mengzhi County pronounced the verdict in court, and the lawsuit was over.


    Everyone and others left the county office, each reacted differently, Jiang Cheng was happy, evil will be rewarded with evil, Liu¡¯s was relieved, and a little more determined, only Li Biaotou, his face was ugly.


    He bowed his hands to Jiang Cheng and the others, and was about to leave.


    At this moment, Gray came over with an old man. The old man had white hair and a childlike face, and was dressed in a brand-new Taoist robe. He looked quite refined.


    ¡°Liu Biaotou, I heard that your young master is ill, guess who I met just now?¡± Gray said to Li Biaotou excitedly.


    ¡°You still dare to come back.¡± Li Escort made a gesture to hit him.


    Gray hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s Wu Yixian, Wu Yixian has traveled here!¡±


    The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Li Biaotou has been looking for doctors everywhere these days, of course he has heard of Wu Yixian¡¯s name. According to legend, he is extremely skilled in medicine and can revive the dead. He also wanted to ask him to treat Li Yan¡¯s illness, but Wu Yixian¡¯s whereabouts were elusive, and he was powerless.


    Escort Li¡¯s heart was beating wildly, could it be that God really took pity on their family?


    He looked at the Taoist old man.


    The Taoist pretending to be an old man glanced at him, but did not speak.


    According to legend, Wu Yixian¡¯s character is indeed very strange.


    Over there, Jiang Yunzhu had already got into the mule cart, when she suddenly heard the word Wu Yixian, she was stunned, looked over there, and then smiled. .


    ¡°Are you really Wu Yixian?¡± Li Biaotou carefully asked the pretending old man.


    ¡°Yunyou came here and had a relationship with Shopkeeper Ge, so I came to have a look.¡± said the old man pretending to be Taoist.


    Escort Li trembled with excitement, and hurriedly said, ¡°Wu Yixian, please save my son, he is still young¡­¡±


    ¡°It takes five hundred taels of silver to see a doctor.¡± The old man interrupted him.


    Five hundred taels is not a small amount, but in order to save my son¡­


    Li Escort was about to agree, when a clear female voice suddenly said, ¡°It is said that Immortal Wu¡¯s daughter died, why, only five hundred taels?¡±


    It was Jiang Yunzhu, and she got off the mule cart again. This so-called ¡°Wu Yixian¡± is obviously a liar.


    The Taoist pretending to be an old man snorted, ¡°Okay, then the daughter, if there is no daughter, I will die.¡± After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.


    Gray hurriedly pulled him back, ¡°Wu Yixian, don¡¯t leave, we have something to discuss.¡±


    Only then did the Taoist pretending to be an old man stop, looking at Escort Li.


    Thousands of gold¡­Li Biao¡¯s mind was buzzing, where could he find a thousand taels of gold.


    Gray said again, ¡°Wu Yixian, don¡¯t be angry, for my sake, don¡¯t make things difficult for Li Escort.¡± Then he said to Li Escort, ¡°Li Escort, quickly talk to Wu Yixian, you also not easy.¡±


    Escort Li seemed to have grasped at straws, and was about to step forward.


    ¡°Li Biaotou, is this really Wu Yixian? You have to think about it. The hall of the county government is next to it. Why don¡¯t you ask the county magistrate to help judge and judge. If it is really Wu Yixian, the magistrate will be happy.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    She knew that Escort Li was in a panic, otherwise he would not have believed this liar so easily.


    Sure enough, after hearing what she said, Escort Li felt overwhelmed, that¡¯s right, he was happy just now, and didn¡¯t think that the old man might be a fake.


    He looked at the old man suspiciously.


    Judging from the appearance of this old man, he seems to be a tall man, but does a tall man have a predestined relationship with someone like Gray?


    Escort Li immediately sensed something was wrong, and looked at Gray sharply.


    Ge Rui hated Jiang Yunzhu to death. What was going to happen, he stared at Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°You are a woman, what do you know?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand, so I asked Captain Li to seek advice from the county magistrate.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    The man who pretended to be an old man was still aloof. Hearing this sentence, he immediately said angrily, ¡°Who do you think I am? Don¡¯t talk about thousands of gold, I will kill ten thousand gold.¡± After saying that, he walked to the side the streets and alleys.


    ¡°Boss Li, you!¡± Gray followed the old man with a look of resentment on his face.


    ¡°Leader Li, be careful, don¡¯t let them escape.¡± Jiang Yunzhu reminded.


    Escort Li came to his senses, ¡°Stop!¡± He shouted.


    The old man pretending to be Taoist walked faster, obviously guilty, now everyone knows that he has a problem.


    Escort Li strode after him, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he really thought his son was saved, who would have thought¡­


    Jiang Cheng also understood what was going on at this time, and immediately went up to help.


    He helped to stop them from over there, and Li Escort immediately grabbed the old man and Gray in Taoist costume one by one, and sent them directly to the yamen.


    Mengzhi County has not yet returned to the back hall, and the trial will begin immediately.


    The old man said at first that he was Immortal Wu, but was speechless after being questioned, so he said that he was indeed an Immortal Wu, his surname was Wu, and his name was Immortal Wu.


    And someone with that name? At first glance, it is prevarication.


    It was only after Meng Zhixian gave him a slap in the face that he admitted that he often used the name of Wu Yixian to swindle money around, and this time he approached Escort Li because of Gray.


    He and Gray are both in jail.


    The case wasn¡¯t complicated, but it took a lot of time. When Jiang Cheng and the others came out of the county government office, they found that the sky outside was gloomy and snowflakes were falling.


    ¡°Thank you for reminding me, miss. I was almost deceived by them.¡± Chief Li thanked Jiang Yunzhu, and then thanked Jiang Cheng for catching people for him.


    Jiang Cheng also knew that his child was sick, so he waved his hands in a hurry.


    He still remembered Li Yan, a good-looking kid.


    ¡°He has been in poor health since he was born.¡± Li Biao clenched his fists.


    Everyone separated, and the more snowflakes in the sky, Jiang Cheng told Jiang Yunzhu to sit still, and he wanted to drive back quickly. There are many mountains in Wuling County. When the snow is heavy and the mountain roads are slippery, it will be difficult to walk.


    ¡°I know, dad, be careful.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    The father and daughter left the city for a while, hurried and hurried, and finally came back safely, and saw the familiar village and that person.


    At this moment, the sky and the earth are all white, but at the intersection of Changshi Village, there is a person. He is dressed in white fur, and seems to be integrated with the world, but he has a sense of loneliness like a lone wolf, as if he is the only one in the world.


    The phoenix eyes and red lips, the eyes are pitch black, and the lips are bright red, which seems to be the only color in this world.


    Jiang Yunzhu was stunned for a moment, it was Shen Fengming, it was the first time she saw him wearing white. When he wears black, he is always as cold as a knife, making people dare not look directly at him. When he wears white, he is like snow on the top of a mountain. Although he is still cold, but because of his overly handsome appearance, people have a kind of surprise that they don¡¯t want to look away. feel.


    Shen Fengming also saw her, his glazed eyes moved, and he rode to this side.


    When he moved, Jiang Yunzhu came back to her senses, and then she couldn¡¯t help but glance at him again, she always liked to appreciate beauties.


    Looking at it is still picturesque.


    Shen Fengming has come to her, Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°Mr. Shen.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s snowing.¡± Shen Fengming raised the tails of his eyes slightly, his voice tinkling like a cold spring.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Jiang Yunzhu got out of the car and turned around to admire the rare snow scene. It snowed twice before, but it was not that big. This time, it was covered with snow everywhere, and it felt like thousands of trees and pear blossoms were blooming.

 Chapter 49

    At this time the snow had stopped, Shen Fengming dismounted, ¡°Miss Jiang, do you want to go for a walk?¡±


    There are endless white mountains and rivers in the distance, and white-capped villages nearby. At this time, the world seems to have changed its appearance, quiet and beautiful.


    Seeing this beautiful scenery, Jiang Yunzhu really wanted to take a look. It¡¯s just that being with Shen Fengming feels a bit subtle. But it might be because he changed his clothes today and didn¡¯t feel that oppressive, so she responded lightly.


    When she got off the car, she saw many rolling hills around her, and immediately wanted to climb the mountains to see the snowy scenery, so she looked at Shen Fengming questioningly.


    ¡°Miss Jiang can do whatever she wants.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu picked a relatively short mountain and walked up the mountain.


    Shen Fengming was right next to her, and the two of them were not too far away.


    Jiang Yunzhu watched as she walked, and when she stood taller, she found that Changshi Village looked like a lake, with high mountains on both sides, a mountain road coming in on the other side, and a mountain road going out on the other side. The road going out was slightly lower than the road coming in. It looks like water flows.


    ¡°What is Miss Jiang thinking?¡± Seeing her lost in thought, Shen Fengming asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu pointed to Changshi Village Road, ¡°I was thinking, hundreds of millions of years ago, maybe this place was once a vast ocean.¡±


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t know that she had thought of such a distant place, but it was true, ¡°The sea has changed.¡± He suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance, thinking of a lot.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know what he was thinking. What she thought was that if it was a sea or a river, there would be no fish here.


    Suddenly, she saw something moving in the distance.


    ¡°Rabbit.¡± She said pleasantly, it was a gray hare, looking very healthy.


    Shen Fengming saw some broken stones on the big rock next to him, so he picked one up and threw it towards the hare.


    About tens of meters away, the hare fell to the ground.


    There are many mountains here, and wild rabbits often come and go. Jiang Yunzhu saw it before, but she could only pretend that she didn¡¯t see it. The rabbit ran so fast that she couldn¡¯t catch it at all.


    Unexpectedly, Shen Fengming could get it done with a single stone.


    She was full of joy, and hurried over there.


    When she got closer, she¡­ the rabbit¡¯s head was smashed, and the death was really a bit miserable.


    At least, it didn¡¯t suffer, that¡¯s all Jiang Yunzhu could do to comfort herself.


    Seeing her like this, Shen Fengming thought she was afraid of getting dirty, so he reached out to pick up the rabbit.


    He was dressed in spotless white fur, and Jiang Yunzhu hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡± She was afraid that blood would drip on him, and it would be an eyesore.


    ¡°Let me do it.¡± Shen Fengming said, he didn¡¯t want Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s hands to be stained with blood.


    Both of them had the idea that they must come by themselves, but in the end, Shen Fengming took a quick step and grabbed the rabbit by the back, while Jiang Yunzhu slowed down and caught him.


    There are thin calluses on the jaws and fingertips of his hands, but the backs of his hands are white and delicate, with a scalding temperature.


    Jiang Yunzhu: ¡­She wants to say that she didn¡¯t do it on purpose, does he believe it or not?


    She retracted her hand in embarrassment.


    Shen Fengming grabbed the rabbit and looked at her.


    His eyes were dark, but the end of his eyes was stained with red.


    Because of that smear of red and that white fur, Jiang Yunzhu actually felt that he was feeling lonely and glamorous at this moment.


    Blood dripped down, Shen Fengming said, ¡°Let me do it, dirty your hands.¡±


    Well, Jiang Yunzhu is out of dispute.


    ¡°Do you want to kill a few more?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that his proposal was actually okay, if he didn¡¯t find it troublesome.


    So today the animals in the mountain suffered disasters, within a short while, Shen Fengming already had two hares and two pheasants in his hands.


    ¡°For extra meals at night, eat roasted rabbit meat and casserole chicken.¡± Jiang Yunzhu laughed.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Fengming agreed.


    The two walked back one after the other, and the sun in the west pierced through the clouds, emitting golden light, which complemented the vast snow scene, which was too beautiful to behold.


    Jiang Cheng went back and told Mrs. Chen what happened today.


    Chen shi sighed when he heard it.


    At night, the two of them lay down to sleep, and the room was quiet, Jiang Cheng suddenly said, ¡°I have also made some money these days, and I used the method of cloud beads, as expected, many people saved money with me, adding up About three or two.¡±


    Chen Shi has been with him for so long, so she naturally knows what he is thinking, in fact, she is thinking too. Last time Escort Li sold them the mule so cheaply, saying it was an apology, but the two of them felt guilty all the time, and it wasn¡¯t intentional.


    Now that the family¡¯s child is seriously ill, it¡¯s time to use the money, and the mule feels even more uneasy about using it.


    As a human being, you can¡¯t lose your heart when you lose anything, and you can¡¯t owe anything you owe, otherwise you will be like them and always remember it.


    ¡°I still have one tael here, plus your three taels, plus the nine taels, it¡¯s almost the price of this mule.¡± Chen said.


    Jiang Cheng understood that Chen Shi had agreed to him, and he reached out to hold her hand.


    The next day, Jiang Cheng told Jiang Yunzhu that he was going to make up the difference for the mules to Escort Li. Although his money was earned by himself, but the capital was paid by Jiang Yunzhu, he still needs to discuss it with her.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought it was okay. However, she felt that the four taels of silver might not be what Li Escort lacked.


    ¡°Father, I¡¯ll go with you, just to see what¡¯s in the market, so I can make it for lunch.¡± Well, Jiang Yunzhu admitted that she said the last sentence for Mr. Wu.


    She just tried to draw a line, and the final result has nothing to do with her.


    Sure enough, when Mr. Wu heard about the food, he immediately became interested when he remembered the grilled fish yesterday.


    So the three of them got into the mule cart and went to the county town.


    It snowed yesterday, and the ground was a little slippery. Jiang Cheng drove carefully, and finally came to the county without any danger.


    Find out where the Fengyuan Escort is.


    The Fengyuan Escort Bureau is well-known in the county, just ask around, and the three of them found the place.


    On the busiest street in the county, there is a very spacious yard, where carriages and people come and go, and it is very lively. There is a plaque hanging on the courtyard with the words ¡°Fengyuan Escort Bureau¡± on it.


    There are not so many people in this era. Except for the prefectures, counties and villages where the common people live, there are many wildernesses, where bandits are often haunted. Merchants who want to do business, or want to travel and deliver goods, will hire bodyguards to ensure safety. .


    The famous bodyguard bureau in Wuling County is the Fengyuan Bodyguard Bureau, so their business is very good.


    The Fengyuan Escort Bureau is indeed unusual, seeing those tall and burly bodyguards, all of them are muscular and their eyes are bright, they feel an inexplicable sense of security.


    ¡°Girl, why are you here?¡± A big man was yelling to load the car over there quickly, when he suddenly saw Jiang Yunzhu and Jiang Cheng, he came over immediately. He was the one who told Jiang Yunzhu how Li Yan was cheated last time, and he still remembered Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Cheng immediately explained his reason for coming.


    The big man didn¡¯t dare to make his own decisions, so he hurried to find Captain Li.


    Captain Li was in the backyard at this time, yesterday Li Yan vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and then fell into a coma. The whole family was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. At this time, they are all guarding the backyard.


    Hearing about Jiang Cheng¡¯s intentions, he wanted him to go back straight away. He said that the mule would be nine taels, and he would definitely not make up the difference.


    But I also feel bad, people come all the way.


    So he asked the big man to invite the three of Jiang Cheng to the reception hall in the front yard.


    The three of Jiang Cheng bypassed the front courtyard and came to a relatively quiet house, where Li Biaotou was already waiting. Sitting with him were his other three sons.


    These three sons have eyebrows and eyes very similar to him, and their bodies are even more similar. Sitting there, they are similar to three iron towers.


    It¡¯s just that the three of them, like Escort Li, all looked gloomy.


    The younger brother has been weak and sick since he was a child, and they love him very much.


    ¡°Sit down quickly.¡± Chief Li greeted Jiang Cheng and the others. Of course, he also saw Mr. Wu, but Mr. Wu looked like an ordinary old man. He thought he was someone from the Jiang family and didn¡¯t care.


    The three of Jiang Cheng sat down, and someone served tea.


    Jiang Cheng didn¡¯t drink, and directly explained the purpose of his visit, and then handed the four taels of silver to Escort Li.


    More than half of his four taels of silver are copper coins, and the few pieces of silver that are left are pitifully small. It looks like he has earned it hard.


    Just like that, he still wanted to give him the money, and Li Escort suddenly had a good impression of Jiang Cheng, and felt that he was lucky to come out and meet him, otherwise he would be really sorry for his heart.


    He didn¡¯t take the silver bag, and said directly, ¡°I said nine taels is nine taels.¡±


    ¡°I know that four taels of silver is nothing to you, but I¡­¡±


    One of the two wants to give, the other doesn¡¯t want it, they are pulling.


    Suddenly, a mournful female voice came, ¡°Son!¡±


    Escort Li and the four strong men changed color at the same time, ignoring the three of Jiang Cheng, they all ran back.


    Holding the money bag, Jiang Cheng was a little worried and a little at a loss. Hearing the voice just now, Li Yan wouldn¡¯t¡­ This, he came at an inopportune time.


    Jiang Yunzhu also frowned and looked into the backyard.


    It was very quiet in the room.


    Mr. Wu took a sip of tea, thinking that Jiang Yunzhu might not leave for a while. He looked up at the ceiling, stood up suddenly, and walked to the backyard.


    Jiang Cheng was stunned, what is the old man going to do?


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s eyes lit up, old man, this, will it¡­


    The backyard of the Li family was in chaos. Li Yangang spit out two more mouthfuls of blood. Now his complexion is sallow, with a lot of air and less air. The **** Li begged Dr. Jin to save him quickly, but Dr. Jin was helpless. She passed out from the pain, and someone poured water on her again to relieve her air.


    Mr. Wu came in at this time, no one paid attention to him at all.


    He walked to Li Yan¡¯s hospital bed, rolled his eyelids, felt his pulse, and said, ¡°Why are you shouting, isn¡¯t he dead?¡± Needle bag, and said to Dr. Jin, ¡°You, take off his clothes.¡±


    Dr. Jin is a famous doctor who came back from the capital, usually he instigates others, but now he is instigated by an ordinary old man?


    He was about to get angry, when suddenly, he saw the needle bag in Wu Yixian¡¯s hand, his heart skipped a beat, and he jumped wildly.


    General doctors use nine needles, namely long needles, beryllium needles, and round needles, but Mr. Wu has fifteen needles in his hand. Now, he immediately took off Li Yan¡¯s coat as Mr. Wu said, and put He righted.


    Mr. Wu immediately began to apply the needles. After a while, Li Yan¡¯s breathing obviously became more stable as he applied the needles.


    After the last injection, Li Yan suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, but this time it was black blood.


    After spitting up the blood, he lay down again, and his complexion seemed to improve a lot.


    ¡°Son.¡± Mrs. Li woke up at this moment, and was about to throw herself on Li Yan and cry again, but she soon realized that something was wrong, why Li Yan looked much better.


    ¡°I saved my life.¡± Dr. Jin said.


    Mr. Wu glanced at him, ¡°This is a cold syndrome brought from his mother¡¯s womb. If he is stimulated or caught cold, he may get sick at any time. What does it mean to save his life?¡±


    Doctor Jin smiled flatteringly, and didn¡¯t think the old man¡¯s tone was bad, and he was even very teachable.


    Li Biaotou and the others over there also understood what Mr. Wu meant, and they raised their hearts that had just been let go.


    They immediately asked Mr. Wu for help!


    However, Mr. Wu has already written a prescription on the stack of paper that Dr. Jin used to prescribe the prescription.


    ¡°Take this medicine, and then give an injection every morning and evening. After seven days, keep alive and kicking.¡± He said.


    Li Biaotou and the others couldn¡¯t believe it. Li Yan has been weak since he was a child. Other people¡¯s children are running while he is sitting. Other people¡¯s children are playing while he is lying down. He finally went out to ride a mule that day and almost died. .


    Seven days, can he jump in seven days?


    ¡°If the old man says yes, he will definitely do it!¡± Dr. Jin said unhappily. He had already guessed the identity of Mr. Wu. He remembered that he had studied and read the two prescriptions of Mr. Wu countless times in the capital, and benefited a lot. Today, he finally saw a real person. He decided that the pen used by Mr. Wu in the future should be Stacks of paper, he will put them in the cabinet and treasure them.


    Only then did Li Biaotou and the others believe that Li Yan¡¯s illness was really cured, and they wanted to kneel down to Mr. Wu to thank him for saving his life.


    ¡°Old man, do you need someone to accompany you?¡± Dr. Jin asked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t follow me!¡± Mr. Wu said impatiently, walking out while talking.


    Just happened to meet Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yunzhu coming here.


    Jiang Yunzhu vaguely saw the situation in the room, and had some guesses.


    ¡°I¡¯ll fix your grandfather¡¯s eyes when you get back.¡± Mr. Wu said, passing her and continuing to go out.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s eyes slowly widened, then curved upwards.


    She found that Mr. Wu is very talkative today. Why, has he changed his temper?


    It¡¯s not that old man Wu has changed his temper, it¡¯s because he suddenly figured out something yesterday, what¡¯s the matter with him and Shen Fengming, making old man Chen and Jiang Yunzhu feel uncomfortable?


    It was snowing yesterday, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t come back for a long time, Mrs. Chen kept looking out anxiously, Mr. Chen couldn¡¯t see, so he could only ask Mrs. Chen over and over again, ¡°Have you come back?¡± At that time, he decided to help Mrs. Chen treat sick.


    Just didn¡¯t have the right opportunity.


    Today is just right.


    They went to buy vegetables, and then Jiang Cheng and the three returned home, and Mr. Wu immediately checked Mr. Chen¡¯s pulse.


    ¡°There is only a 50% chance of being cured.¡± Mr. Wu said.


    Fifty percent, the probability is already very high, Jiang Yunzhu immediately begged the old man for medicine.


    ¡°No hurry, I¡¯ll give him a needle first.¡± Mr. Wu said, took out the needle bag, and gave Mr. Chen an injection.


    This time, almost all the acupuncture points he pierced were on the head, and a little carelessness may cause serious consequences, so his speed of acupuncture was obviously slowed down, especially in the last few needles, he would feel breathless every time he pierced. tone.


    After a while, sweat was already on his forehead.


    Everyone in the Jiang family watched, and no one dared to speak for fear of affecting him.


    When the needle was finally finished, he took the hot towel from Jiang Yunzhu, and he was relieved. He was old and his energy was indeed not as good as before.


    ¡°Grandpa, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Although Jiang Cheng and the Chen family didn¡¯t know that Mr. Wu was the famous Immortal Wu Doctor at this time, they were very grateful to him just for the fact that he treated Mr. Chen¡¯s illness.


    Mr. Wu sat down and prescribed two more prescriptions, ¡°This one is for external use and this one is for internal use. In the past few days, my eyes will feel a little uncomfortable, but don¡¯t expose to light or rub it. After five days, you will know.¡± he commanded.


    The Jiang family immediately got busy.


    In the afternoon, Li Biaotou brought people to drive the carriage to bring Li Yan here. Li Yan was already awake at this time, but he didn¡¯t have the strength yet.


    Escort Li felt that Mr. Wu was not an ordinary person, so he kept pestering Dr. Jin to ask, but Dr. Jin had no choice but to tell him the identity of Mr. Wu in a low voice, and told him not to spread it to the outside world. Otherwise, the old man will be angry, but everything is over.


    This person turned out to be the real Wu Yixian, no wonder he can cure Li Yan¡¯s illness! Escort Li was in ecstasy after being shocked, of course he didn¡¯t dare bother Mr. Wu to go to him to give Li Yan an injection, so he came here.


    He had already made up his mind that for the past seven days, he would bring Li Yan to live in Changshi Village, so as not to cause further problems.


    Five days later, Mr. Wu gave Mr. Chen an injection for the last time, and then said, ¡°The cloth on the eyes can be taken off, it will work, it won¡¯t work¡­¡± He couldn¡¯t help it. Others called him a doctor, but he also Just a mortal, a mortal who couldn¡¯t even save his own daughter.


    When he said that, Jiang Cheng and the others became nervous, and Chen¡¯s hands shaking when he removed the cloth.


    Mr. Chen was relatively calm, and said to Chen, ¡°It¡¯s been like this for so many years¡­¡± At this point, he stopped suddenly. There was white light in front of his eyes, and he had to cover his eyes with his hands.


    ¡°Father.¡± ¡°Grandfather!¡± Jiang Cheng and the others exclaimed together, does this reaction of Mr. Chen mean that¡­


    Mr. Chen blinked his eyes hard, with tears in his eyes, but he didn¡¯t have time to wipe them away. Instead, he looked at Mrs. Chen, at Jiang Cheng, at Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Lin, Jiang Yunxue and Jiang Wu.


    ¡°I saw it.¡± He said, then looked at Chen¡¯s lips trembling and said, ¡°You have changed a lot.¡±


    ¡°You must be old.¡± Chen¡¯s eyes were clouded with tears. After so many years, how could she not be old?


    ¡°Father.¡± Jiang Cheng said.


    ¡°You¡¯ve changed a lot too.¡± Mr. Chen said looking at him.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Jiang Cheng¡¯s eyes also turned red.


    Mr. Chen looked at Jiang Yunzhu again, feeling shaken. He always knew she was pretty, but he didn¡¯t expect her to be so good-looking. And Jiang Lin is also a young adult, Jiang Yunxue is also a big girl, and even Jiang Wu has grown so tall.


    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Mr. Chen looked over one by one, tears never stopped, but with a smile on his face. After so many years, he finally saw what they looked like. He wanted to take a good look at them and keep them in mind one by one.


    ¡°Thank you, thank you!¡± When he saw Mr. Wu, he couldn¡¯t help being grateful. He really didn¡¯t expect that it was thanks to him that he could see things again in his lifetime.


    Mr. Wu is also in a good mood, and finally he didn¡¯t miss it, otherwise he would be ashamed to eat the food made by Jiang Yunzhu.


    Everyone was overjoyed, and Li Biao¡¯s eyes became hot when he saw it. In two days, Li Yan¡­


    Two days later, Mr. Wu took Li Yan¡¯s pulse and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, but the bones are too weak. Let¡¯s take it easy in the future.¡±


    ¡°Old man, what do you mean?¡± Mrs. Li also came today, covering her mouth and asking Old Man Wu in disbelief.


    ¡°The disease is cured.¡±


    With just this one sentence, Mrs. Li cried and fell into the arms of Li Escort. For so many years, she regretted every day that she was so careless when she was pregnant with Li Yan, and made him suffer from birth.


    Finally, her child can live a normal life!


    Escort Li patted her on the back, and his eyes were sparkling.


    ¡°Great.¡± Li Yan¡¯s three brothers said loudly.


    Immediately, they knelt down and thanked Mr. Wu for his life-saving grace.


    A few big guys behind immediately brought up a lot of things, which were a thank you gift they had prepared.


    As for the consultation fee, but based on Mr. Wu¡¯s words, they must find a way to make up for it.


    Mr. Wu never loved money. He looked at those things, took two ingots of gold from the first plate, and said, ¡°Take them all back.¡±


    Those two ingots of gold are ten taels each, and two ingots are twenty taels, which is equivalent to two hundred taels of silver.


    much? For ordinary people, it¡¯s really too much, and they may spend their entire lives earning this money, but for the Li family, it¡¯s not much at all.


    ¡°Old man, how can this be done?¡± Li Escort said, the kindness of saving lives, kindness can be recreated.


    ¡°Stop babbling here, go, go, I¡¯ll be quiet for a while.¡± Mr. Wu said.


    Escort Li was full of emotion and was interrupted. He looked at Jiang Yunzhu. After so many days in Jiang¡¯s house, he found that Mr. Wu liked her the most.


    Knowing Mr. Wu¡¯s temper, Jiang Yunzhu nodded at Escort Li.


    Then Escort Li took people and things out of the house. But they didn¡¯t leave, they were waiting for Xie Jiang Yunzhu. If it weren¡¯t for her, he might have been deceived by that fake genius doctor before, and it would be even less likely that he would meet a real genius doctor later.


    Jiang Yunzhu waved her hand naturally, but she didn¡¯t do anything.


    After procrastinating for a long time, Li Escort left some gifts, and did not let Jiang Cheng mention the price difference of the mules, and said repeatedly that if there is any need for help in the future, he must come to them.


    Escort Li has identified the Jiang family, and this family is worthy of close friendship.


    After sending Li Biaotou and the others away, Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi stood at the gate of the courtyard, feeling a little overwhelmed. For the past few days, Escort Li has been renting in the village. He has a straightforward personality, and they all like to get along with him very much. After getting along for so many days, they left suddenly, and they felt a little empty in their hearts.


    But Jiang Yunzhu knew that there is no banquet in the world that lasts forever.


    In view of everyone¡¯s mood, she decided to make some rice dumplings tonight, which are sweet and warm.


    But when she turned around, she saw Shen Fengming walking in from the outside, carrying two hares in his hands.


    The author has something to say:


    A new chapter is about to start

 Chapter 50

    Shen Fengming wore an ivory white brocade jacket with narrow sleeves and dark embroidered cloud patterns today, with snow-white fox fur on both sides of the collar, and a wide band of the same color around his waist, which perfectly outlined his figure, with a sense of indifference, But he looks even more handsome.


    ¡°Mr. Shen.¡± Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s eyes were unconsciously attracted to him.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s gaze stayed on her lips for a moment longer. The weather has been cold and dry these past few days, and Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s lips have been coated with a light layer of lip balm, which makes her sandalwood lips look rosy and tender.


    He handed the rabbit in his hand to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°I got it today.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu took the rabbit, wondering if he had nothing to do recently, so he fell in love with hunting, otherwise why would he go back to fetch rabbits and pheasants every day. He even hunted back a white fox the day before yesterday.


    ¡°How about eating braised rabbit meat at night?¡± She asked with a smile. Bunny is cute, but she also really likes to eat rabbit meat. Braised rabbit in red, stir-fried diced rabbit, stewed rabbit with chestnut¡­ She has dozens of rabbit recipes, each of which is very tempting.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Fengming¡¯s voice was clear.


    Jiang Yunzhu put the rabbit in the corner of the kitchen. It¡¯s not time to make dinner yet, so she¡¯s going to make Jiuniang Yuanzi first.


    The more labor-intensive thing is to make glutinous rice balls. Jiang Yunzhu took out a basin and prepared to knead the noodles.


    Glutinous rice flour, glutinous rice flour, she looked up and down in the cabinet, she remembered that she bought a small bag last time, there should be some at home.


    just where?


    Suddenly she raised her eyes and saw a cloth bag on the top shelf of the cabinet. Isn¡¯t that the bag where she put the glutinous rice flour?


    She reached out to reach it, but found that she couldn¡¯t reach it at all.


    She withdrew her hand, ready to find a bench or something.


    At this time, a hand stretched out from the side, grabbed the cloth bag, and placed it on the table.


    It was Shen Fengming, he did not know when he entered the kitchen.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°No need.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    The kitchen is narrow, because Shen Fengming was holding the cloth bag just now, and now he is very close to Jiang Yunzhu, so close that Jiang Yunzhu can smell the faint fragrance of the moon on his body.


    Jiang Yunzhu took a step back. This distance is really too close.


    ¡°Mr. Shen, go out quickly, don¡¯t stain your clothes.¡± She said.


    ¡°Miss Jiang has been in the kitchen all day, and her clothes are not dirty.¡± Shen Fengming said, stepped back two steps, and stood at the door of the kitchen.


    The Jiang family¡¯s kitchen was kept very clean, and Jiang Yunzhu was meticulous in her work, so she rarely stained her clothes. She likes to use the saponin powder mixed with lemon, so she has a fresh smell of lemon mixed with saponin.


    After a little distance, Jiang Yunzhu started scooping water and kneading noodles, and then asked Shen Fengming, ¡°Mr. Shen seems to be idle recently?¡±


    ¡°Well, the previous work is over.¡±


    The two chatted a few words casually. At this time, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s face was reconciled. It took a while before she could continue to the next step. She raised her head, ¡°Mr. Shen¡­¡±


    ¡°Miss Jiang, you don¡¯t need to be so polite, just call me by my name.¡± Shen Fengming said suddenly.


    Jiang Yunzhu stopped with her head halfway up, staring at his chest, what¡¯s his name, Shen Yuyu, or Shen Fengming?


    ¡°Yeah.¡± She replied lightly, and before he could continue speaking, she said, ¡°I¡¯ll leave this noodle for a while, I¡¯ll go to the room to rest for a while.¡±


    ¡°Miss Jiang can do as she pleases.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu went back to the house, and Shen Fengming stood there for a long time.


    The weather was fine the next day, and Jiang Yunzhu decided to put away those sausages. After drying for so many days, it is ready to eat.


    Because she wanted to add sausages to the takeaway menu, she stuffed a lot of sausages last time. Excluding Yang Sheng¡¯s customized ones, there were still about seventy or eighty sausages, which should be enough to sell until the Chinese New Year.


    Just as Jiang Yunzhu was thinking, someone knocked on the door suddenly, and she got up to open it.


    A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Jiang Yunzhu immediately recognized that he was the one who told him to buy a lot of things last time and told him to give them away.


    Nie Xin stood there cautiously. This time when he left Beijing, Qilinwei¡¯s brother pooled up a lot of money for him to help bring delicious food back, but the Commander and Deputy Commander have been staying at his house, so he really didn¡¯t dare to come purchase.


    Procrastinating and procrastinating until today.


    According to what the deputy commander said, he might be returning to Beijing in a few days. If he didn¡¯t bring anything back, he would probably be blamed by his brothers to death, so he could only bite the bullet and knock on the door of Jiang¡¯s house.


    ¡°Boss, my friend liked the food I bought from you last time.¡± Nie Xin said in awe.


    ¡°Just like it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said with a smile.


    ¡°Boss, do you have anything delicious here? I want to buy some. That¡¯s right, give it to friends.¡± Nie Xin said.


    Coincidentally, ¡°There are still some sausages left. If you want something else, I can make it for you, as long as you are not in a hurry.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Nie Xin nodded with bright eyes, then quickly shook his head and said, ¡°Sausage is fine, and the boss will not be bothered about anything else.¡± With sausages, he can do business with his brothers. As for the others¡­ Forget it, they know How much pressure did he put on to buy food for them, and he asked for so much.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that he was a little strange, as if he wanted it but didn¡¯t want it. But this is the freedom of others.


    ¡°How much sausage?¡± she asked.


    ¡°As much as you want.¡± Nie Xin finally gained confidence, he was afraid that these sausages would not be enough to take back.


    ¡°There are about seventy or eighty.¡± If he is in a hurry, he will sell them to him first.


    ¡°Okay, I want it all, how much?¡±


    ¡°About three taels of silver, I¡¯ll help you install it, and calculate carefully by the way.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Nie Xin nodded repeatedly.


    Jiang Yunzhu asked him to wait in the courtyard, but he was determined not to come in. There was no way, Jiang Yunzhu could only go in, wrap up the sausage, and take it out for him.


    There were seventy or eighty sausages, a huge pile, and Jiang Yunzhu asked Jiang Lin for help before moving those sausages outside the door.


    Outside the door, Nie Xin had already prepared a carriage there.


    ¡°One sausage costs thirty-five Wen, and there are eighty-two pieces in total, which is two thousand eight hundred and seventy Wen.¡± Jiang Yunzhu wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Nie Xin said as he easily put the sausages on the car, then took out an ingot of silver and handed it to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Three taels of silver, ¡°You wait, I¡¯ll find you one hundred and thirty cash.¡±


    ¡°No, thank you boss.¡± Before Jiang Yunzhu finished speaking, Nie Xin left this sentence and disappeared without a trace in the carriage.


    It¡¯s really a gust of wind that comes and goes, Jiang Yunzhu held the silver in his hand and sighed.


    Then she went to ask Yang Sheng what he planned to do with those sausages.


    Yang Sheng said that he would take it with him when he left.


    Jiang Yunzhu heard what he meant, he might have to leave soon.


    Back in her room, she had just sat for a while when Jiang Cheng came back from outside. He gave Jiang Yunzhu a money bag.


    Inside was the three taels of silver he earned. Last time he wanted to give it to Escort Li. After that happened, Escort Li would not want the money anymore, so he decided to give it to Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Father, you earned it yourself, just keep it yourself.¡± Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t want it.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that you want to go to the county to do business. Besides, the mule and the cart were originally spent by you¡­¡± Jiang Cheng said.


    ¡°father¡­¡±


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s not talk about this, but the money is still for you. I will keep it when I make money next time.¡± Jiang Cheng said firmly.


    Jiang Yunzhu, okay, then she will keep it first.


    What a good day today, first earned three taels, and then another three taels, adding up to six taels. Jiang Yunzhu remembered that she was going to the county to do business. She just wanted to do business, but she didn¡¯t have the capital. Now, she can plan carefully.


    It is best to start the business at the beginning of next year, so that it will be convenient for Jiang Lin and the others to go to school.


    The shop she wants to rent in the county town will take at least 20 taels a year, and she also needs to prepare Jiang Lin and Jiang Wu¡¯s Shuxiu. She now has six taels plus her original deposit of five taels, which is eleven taels. In the past, I could still earn fifteen taels, which was twenty-six taels.


    About fourteen taels are still missing.


    Where can this money be made? Jiang Yunzhu thought about it, and suddenly came up with an idea. The people of the Xia Dynasty had the habit of visiting temple fairs from the fifth day to the fifteenth day of the new year, especially on the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day, they almost always went there.


    This is not a good time to set up a stall to make money.


    No need to think about what to sell, when you are hungry, who can resist the aroma of skewers!


    Then the last question remains, whether to sell in the county or in Luzhou.


    The county is close and easy to operate, but the flow of people and the wealth of the people are not as good as Luzhou. Going to Luzhou is a long way, troublesome.


    If it were someone else, they would definitely not think of going to Luzhou, after all, they are not familiar with the place.


    But Jiang Yunzhu is familiar, she has lived in Luzhou for seven years in her dream, and she is even more familiar with Luzhou than she is with the county.


    Going to the county town is safe, but you may not be able to earn that much money. Going to Luzhou is a challenge, but it has high risks and high rewards.


    Jiang Yunzhu frowned in thought.


    ¡°What are you thinking about? You¡¯re so preoccupied.¡± Chen suddenly entered the room and said.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°I didn¡¯t think about anything.¡±


    However, Mrs. Chen walked up to her, and couldn¡¯t hide her excitement and asked, ¡°Guess who I just met?¡±


    ¡°Who?¡± Jiang Yunzhu cooperated with her.


    ¡°The second daughter-in-law of Aunt Feng¡¯s family.¡± Chen Shi said.


    Jiang Yunzhu raised his eyebrows, which is not often seen.


    Chen Shi smiled, meeting her certainly wouldn¡¯t make her so happy, but she said those words¡­ ¡°She was also entrusted by someone, let me ask what you mean.¡±


    Why is this still about her? Jiang Yunzhu waited for her to continue.


    ¡°Your Aunt Lin entrusted her. I want to ask you what you think of that child from Yanzhou?¡± At this point, Chen almost laughed out loud. The meaning of Lin¡¯s words couldn¡¯t be more obvious. If Jiang Yunzhu nodded, a matchmaker would probably be asked to propose marriage.


    Gu Yanzhou is good-looking and has a bright future. Chen Shi never dreamed that she would have such a son-in-law.


    Jiang Yunzhu is still smart and beautiful.


    Chen¡¯s heart was full of pride, and for a while, she just felt that the two were really a match made in heaven, and there would never be such a good marriage again.


    Jiang Yunzhu was stunned, she understood what Chen meant, but Gu Yanzhou?


    ¡°Mother, forget it.¡± She said.


    ¡°I also think¡­¡± Chen suddenly stopped, and looked at Jiang Yunzhu in surprise.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to marry yet.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said directly.


    Mrs. Chen became anxious, ¡°Are you embarrassed to say it, or worried about what will happen after you get married?¡± My daughter¡¯s family is always worried about such things.


    Jiang Yunzhu shook his head.


    ¡°Then why don¡¯t you want to¡­ That kid from Yanzhou really has nothing to be picky about.¡±


    ¡°Yes, but it doesn¡¯t mean I want to marry him.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Chen really didn¡¯t understand.


    ¡°I don¡¯t feel that way about him, how can I marry him?¡±


    ¡°Feelings can be cultivated slowly. It¡¯s rare for him to be nice to you. Besides, the big exam will be held next year. I heard that he will be able to get fame in the exam. If he passes the exam, you will be Mrs. Juren. If he passes the exam¡­¡± Mrs. Chen didn¡¯t even dare to say that word. If Gu Yanzhou won the first prize in the examination, Jiang Yunzhu would be the wife of the first prize.


    How many girls in the world would be envied, ¡°Isn¡¯t it better than you cooking and selling food all day long?¡±


    That¡¯s one step up to the sky, completely reborn!


    Jiang Yunzhu was serious, if she wanted to enter the Hou family, she would be sure to become the young wife of the Hou family soon after snatching the short branch.


    But is it useful?


    Yes, Gu Yanzhou should be better than Lin Ting¡¯an, but who can guarantee that he will not change after he enters the officialdom.


    She could remember that in the dream he was no longer what he is now.


    Taking a step back, even if he won¡¯t change, the ups and downs in the officialdom will be tiring.


    Marrying Gu Yanzhou could solve some of her immediate problems, but it was accompanied by even bigger problems.


    Instead of this, she might as well walk her own life step by step, that¡¯s the safest way.


    ¡°Mom, you think cooking and selling are tiring, but I like it very much. What I want is never glory and wealth.


    Power looks tempting, but if you want to gain something, you must pay, otherwise you can only be swallowed by others until there is nothing left. ¡°


    This Jiang Yunzhu is too familiar, how in the dream she was thinking so hard and being careful every step of the way.


    Now, ¡°I just want to open a restaurant and spend my days leisurely.¡±


    Mrs. Chen seemed to understand, but didn¡¯t seem to understand, she stared at Jiang Yunzhu in a daze.


    Outside the house, Shen Fengming stood there in a daze.


    After a while, he tightly held the white jade hairpin in his hand, which was carved by himself and was worth thousands of gold.


    What¡¯s the use?


    The person in the room wanted so little, but he couldn¡¯t afford it!


    The next day, Shen Fengming left with Yang Sheng, he was still dressed in black, his front was as cold as a knife.


    On the third day, Mr. Wu found Jiang Yunzhu and handed her an ingot of twelve taels of gold. Give it to Jiang Yunzhu, and the remaining one ingot will be used as travel expenses.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t take the gold, but said, ¡°Then shall I give you another hundred taels of silver?¡±


    The meals she cooked were worth one hundred taels of silver, but Mr. Wu cost two hundred taels for one treatment. In this way, Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t want to give Mr. Wu another one hundred taels.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have that much money now.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said listlessly.


    Mr. Wu laughed, ¡°You! You really don¡¯t want to study medicine with me, or leave with me?¡± He asked, he really liked her, and he saw her more clearly than anyone else.


    ¡°The old man is leaving?¡± Jiang Yunzhu was surprised.


    ¡°I can¡¯t leave.¡± Mr. Wu also wanted to stay at Jiang¡¯s house for a few more days, mainly because he didn¡¯t want to part with Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s food. But these days, Dr. Jin can¡¯t help but want to run here. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. He believes that in a few days, more and more people will come to see him.


    He is not afraid of anything, but Jiang Yunzhu is not. He doesn¡¯t want to break her current peaceful life.


    Tired of being famous, you can say that it is Mr. Wu.


    Jiang Yunzhu also understood, she could only say, ¡°Take care, come back anytime if you want to eat my cooking.¡±


    Mr. Wu looked at her deeply and smiled.


    Well, he also has a home in the future!


    Mr. Wu always does whatever he wants, so he got up and left Jiang¡¯s house immediately.


    When he came, he was not what he wanted, but when he left, he had something in mind.


    Shen Fengming left with Yang Sheng, and now even Mr. Wu has left, the huge courtyard suddenly became much deserted, Chen and the others felt very uncomfortable.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t think she had her own life.


    So she started to get busy, and it was only one month before the Chinese New Year, so she needed to get ready for some things.


    She has already decided to go to Luzhou to set up a stall during the Chinese New Year and make a quick fortune.


    The author has something to say:


    Hunting wild animals is illegal, protecting wild animals is everyone¡¯s responsibility

 Chapter 51

    Two days later, Dr. Jin came to visit Jiang¡¯s house with something, and he was disappointed when he learned that Wu Yixian had left. But soon, he became happy again. It was already a great blessing for him to meet Wu Yixian, so how could he expect too much.


    He floated away again.


    The days flashed to the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the mine began to be on holiday from this day onwards until the seventeenth day of the first lunar month before starting work.


    The bustling Wuling Mine suddenly became deserted. Jiang Yunzhu took this opportunity to close the stall, and decided to wait until the 17th day of the first lunar month before opening for business.


    At this time, she had already prepared all kinds of matters to go to Luzhou to set up a stall, and she would start after the Chinese New Year.


    The Jiang family is still a little unaccustomed to suddenly being idle. Then buy New Year¡¯s goods and prepare for the New Year!


    This is the first year they have lived in Wuling County, and the life at home is booming, so it is natural to prepare well.


    Everyone bought a new suit, and Jiang Yunzhu already had clothes from Mrs. Liu, so Mrs. Chen took the money and bought her a pair of hairpins. Although they are silver hairpins, they are exquisite in workmanship, and each small hairpin is inlaid with half a round pearl, which looks very beautiful.


    ¡°Quickly put it on and try it on.¡± Mrs. Chen urged.


    Jiang Yunzhu also liked these two little hairpins, so she put them on her head.


    ¡°It¡¯s beautiful.¡± ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful.¡± With the unanimous praise of Jiang¡¯s family, the black hair and silver hairpin, the beauty with pearls, the two complement each other, it¡¯s really perfect.


    Even the customers and clerks in the shop couldn¡¯t help looking at Jiang Yunzhu. Some people asked if there was such a small hairpin, and she wanted to buy it, while others were amazed.


    The Jiang family happily left the shop and went to the next stop.


    Buying, buying, buying, until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, there was another heavy snowfall, and the Jiang family stopped.


    Mrs. Chen was busy cleaning the house. The roof had to be swept clean, the furniture had to be wiped spotless, and even the door had to be scrubbed clean, just waiting for new couplets to be pasted on the day of the New Year, and the old look changed.


    Jiang Cheng and Mr. Chen took this opportunity to repair the broken things in the house, such as chairs with broken legs, dustpans missing a piece, etc., and repaired for three years.


    After the 28th is the new year, and on the day of the new year, the whole family puts on new clothes and puts on new couplets. After the firecrackers, the days are booming.


    According to the traditional customs, a table of delicious food was prepared at noon, and Jiang Yunzhu wanted to cook, but Chen Shi held her down. She is usually the one who cooks. Today is Chinese New Year, she should rest.


    Chen asked herself that her cooking skills were not as good as Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s. So many years ago, didn¡¯t everyone in the family eat her cooking?


    In fact, Chen¡¯s cooking is at the upper-middle level in the village. Although there are not all kinds of flavors, the home-cooked flavors are delicious.


    ¡°Yes, thank you for your hard work!¡± Jiang Yunzhu accepted her kindness and waited for lunch.


    Mrs. Chen was happy in her heart, with a smile on her face, and her hands and feet were windy when cooking.


    In a short while, a table of meals has been prepared. In the middle is a piece of braised fish, which is more than enough every year, and next to it are chicken nuggets, pork knuckles, strips of meat, etc. It would be nice to have one during the Chinese New Year before, but this year they have all of them.


    Everyone was eating, talking, and laughing, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.


    The family sits together and makes dumplings. Jiang Cheng rolled the skin, not to mention, his skill in rolling the skin was superb, he rolled the skin quickly and well, and rolling the skin by himself could feed the whole family.


    ¡°In the future, if we sell dumplings at home, we don¡¯t need to hire anyone.¡± Mr. Chen said with a smile.


    The smile on his face never stopped today. Before Chinese New Year, Mrs. Chen and Jiang Cheng also invited him to be with him, but Mrs. Jiang lived not far from the village. Every time he got closer to Mrs. Chen, she would definitely start scolding her, not because Mrs. Chen was not virtuous, To actually go to the family to subsidize it is to scold Jiang Cheng for having a daughter-in-law and forgetting his mother.


    Later, he tried his best to go to Chen¡¯s place as little as possible to avoid her being wronged. However, he is alone, what¡¯s the point of celebrating the new year.


    Like now, surrounded by family members, is the year!


    Especially this year, his eyes can still see, he is really old, and the days are getting better and better.


    Jiang Yunzhu also felt that Jiang Cheng¡¯s technique was good, so he asked, ¡°Father, did you practice it on purpose?¡±


    Jiang Cheng straightened his chest. It was rare for Jiang Yunzhu to admire him for something. He said with a tense smile, ¡°It still takes practice? Just hang out with your mother a few more times, and you¡¯ll be fine. Don¡¯t you think so?¡± As if to prove He asked Mrs. Chen what he said.


    Chen suppressed a smile, ¡°I didn¡¯t practice, I just studied it a few times.¡±


    Immediately the whole family laughed.


    In the evening, I ate dumplings stuffed with mutton and cabbage. The steaming dumplings were placed on the table, and immediately gave off a taste of happiness.


    But at this time, Shen¡¯s Mansion in the capital is another scene.


    Senior scholar Shen and Princess Danyang sat on the top seat, and Shen Fengming sat next to Senior scholar Shen. Countless delicacies were placed on the table. The three ate silently, but no one spoke, and there was no lively atmosphere of the New Year.


    Princess Danyang took another bite of the dumpling and found it tasteless, so she said to Nanny Yu, ¡°Bring me some of that beef sauce.¡±


    Nanny Yu said cautiously, ¡°Princess, I finished eating the beef sauce last time, did you forget?¡±


    Have you finished eating? It seemed so, Princess Danyang was stunned.


    Then she looked at Shen Fengming, ¡°Fengming, is that sausage cook a woman?¡± She saw the writing on those porcelain jars, and she was sure it was written by a woman.


    Shen Fengming went to Luzhou twice, and met that woman both times¡­ It was enough for her to think about it a lot.


    ¡°It¡¯s a woman.¡± Shen Fengming replied.


    ¡°Then why don¡¯t you bring it back?¡± Princess Danyang asked anxiously.


    Shen Dashi, who was listening, also raised his ears. He also hoped that Shen Fengming would get married soon and give birth to two fat and white dolls, so that he could have grandchildren.


    Shen Fengming looked up at Princess Danyang.


    Just at this time, a faint cry came from outside. For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, there was such a voice, and it even spread to the backyard of the Shen residence.


    ¡°Who is this, so frustrated.¡± Princess Danyang said angrily.


    Nanny Yu hurried out to check, and then came back anxiously to report that it was King Huainan who was crying for his son outside.


    The last time Shen Fengming came back, King Huainan lost his beloved son, of course he would not let it go. But in the end, the emperor did not punish Shen Fengming, and the matter was left alone.


    The King of Huainan was naturally not reconciled, he made trouble for Shen Fengming a few times, but he couldn¡¯t make a fortune by stealing chickens.


    During the Chinese New Year, other people¡¯s families were reunited, but his son was gone, so he ran outside Shen¡¯s house to pay homage to his son, just to make Shen Fengming sick.


    And, it¡¯s not illegal at all.


    After hearing this, Princess Danyang was very angry. His son died, and he had to blame himself. If he didn¡¯t spoil his son like that, would Shen Fengming kill him?


    Besides, he cried for his son, what about the girls who were killed by his son or bullied by him? Should they or should they go to his house and cry?


    ¡°Get rid of them all.¡± She said angrily.


    Nanny Yu said cautiously, ¡°That¡¯s the old prince.¡± These servants, they dare not chase them away.


    Princess Danyang also wants to call Huainan Wang uncle, so it¡¯s hard to tell her if she goes out.


    ¡°If he wants to cry, let him cry,¡± Shen Dashi said.


    Princess Danyang was immediately annoyed by his words, ¡°People are bullying us during Chinese New Year, and you let it go, are you still a man?¡±


    Master Shen immediately put on a straight face.


    Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Shen Fengming stood up and walked outside.


    Soon, the crying outside stopped.


    But Shen Fengming didn¡¯t go back to eat, but went to his study.


    Sitting on the chair, he took out a brocade box from the desk drawer, opened it, and there was a white jade hairpin in it.


    He looked at the white hosta for a long time.


    In the same moonlight, some families are happy and some are sad.


    The next day was the first day of junior high school. Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Chen took the lead in greeting Mr. Chen when they got up in the morning.


    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Mr. Chen smiled, and then gave out red envelopes to Jiang Yunzhu and his children.


    Afterwards, Jiang Yunzhu took the lead to pay New Year greetings to Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Chen.


    Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi also prepared red envelopes for them, which was not available in previous years.


    Moreover, they confiscated their red envelopes, including the youngest Jiang Wu, and only told him to keep them well and not to lose them.


    Jiang Wu held three red envelopes and rolled his eyes with a smile.


    The first day of the lunar new year is a day for New Year¡¯s greetings, but Jiang¡¯s family is an outsider. Chen feels that no one should come to their house.


    As soon as the door was opened, an old monk came. She knows him, he seems to be the abbot of the Tiannv Niangniang Temple in Xifeng Mountain, why?


    ¡°Come to send some pastries to the benefactor. I won¡¯t go in and sit if I have a little heart.¡± The old monk has always remembered Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s kindness, but he has no chance to repay him. During the Chinese New Year, he naturally wants to come and have a look.


    Mrs. Chen was a little dazed when he took the cakes, shouldn¡¯t they go to the temple to offer incense, why did the old monk come to give them cakes.


    The old monk has already left.


    Only then did Chen realize that he wanted to chase the old monk, but there was no sign of him.


    ¡°Siblings, happy Chinese New Year!¡± With a hearty laugh, Mrs. Chen looked up, and it was Li Biaotou and Li Yan.


    ¡°Auntie, Happy New Year.¡± Li Yan still looked like that sick and weak boy, but his eyes had brightened, and he wished Chen Shi a new year.


    ¡°Come in and sit down.¡± Chen said happily.


    They waited for half an hour before leaving.


    In the middle, Mrs. Liu came with Lu Yuan, and the fourth wife Fang and Mrs. Xue Jing all came to pay New Year¡¯s greetings. The Jiang family was very lively this morning, and the smiles on Jiang Cheng¡¯s and Mrs. Chen¡¯s faces never stopped.


    On the first day of junior high school, everyone still ate dumplings. On the second day of junior high school, everyone went to bed early. On the third day of junior high school, everyone got up to pack up before dawn. Today they had to leave for Luzhou. They would arrive in Luzhou at noon tomorrow to prepare for the preparations.


    ¡°Yunzhu, is it really okay to make so many meat skewers? Also, are you really going to Luzhou?¡± Chen asked worriedly. She supported Jiang Yunzhu, but when it came time to set off, she felt uneasy. I always feel that Luzhou is very far away. These small people of Shengdou rushed there rashly, just like bumpkins entering the city. It¡¯s good if they don¡¯t get rejected by others, but they still have to sell so many meat skewers?


    ¡°Yunzhu said it¡¯s ok, it¡¯s up to you when it won¡¯t work.¡± Mr. Chen said angrily, although he was also worried, he didn¡¯t say anything.


    Jiang Yunzhu had invested a lot of money this time, not to mention the barbecue stove, but the meat skewers piled up into a hill, Mr. Chen looked at it with no idea.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°I¡¯ll know when the time comes.¡±


    There were two big carts of meat skewers, Jiang Yunzhu hired Xu Qingshan¡¯s cart, and Jiang Cheng¡¯s cart together, it was just enough to fit them. These meat skewers almost used up all of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s savings, no wonder Mrs. Chen was worried.


    At this time, ¡°Here it is!¡± Li Song shouted from a long distance away.


    Li Song is the third son of Chief Li¡¯s Escort. Their Escort Bureau often goes to Luzhou. Hearing that Jiang Yunzhu and the others are going to Luzhou, he naturally invites them to come with him.


    So Jiang Yunzhu and others followed their convoy, stepped on Chuyang, and headed towards Luzhou.

 Chapter 52

    At noon, the convoy arrived at a wilderness, where everyone took a rest, had something to eat, and continued on the road.


    Li Song went to the back from time to time to check on the situation of the Jiang family. When his father came, he had told him to take good care of the Jiang family.


    He thought the Jiang family was amazing. A family of people in the village had never been to Luzhou at all, and they dared to go to Luzhou when they heard that they could make money there. Anyway, he didn¡¯t dare. Thinking about his first escort, he went to Luzhou, and the team was full of old escorts. He only followed him once, and he was very worried.


    In fact, Jiang Cheng was also worried, so when he saw him coming, he kept asking about the situation in Luzhou.


    There was nothing wrong along the way, so Li Song told him in detail.


    Jiang Yunzhu listened to him and confirmed what he said with what he knew. When she heard Li Song mentioning someone, she asked a few words aloud, paving the way for future plans.


    Several people were chatting, Li Song suddenly looked back vigilantly.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Jiang Cheng asked nervously. On the way they escaped from the famine in Changfeng Mansion, they once encountered bandits. Fortunately, they avoided them when they saw them from a distance, otherwise they really didn¡¯t know what would happen.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, you guys continue to move forward.¡± Li Song said, then he turned his horse¡¯s head and hid behind a nearby cliff.


    Jiang Yunzhu and the others continued to move forward, and about fifteen minutes later, Li Song rode up to catch up with a man in his hand, followed by a donkey.


    The convoy stopped, and Li Song threw the man on the ground.


    Gu Qifeng slipped up and got up, humming, ¡°I said I didn¡¯t follow you, does the road belong to your family, don¡¯t let others go.¡±


    It was him, Jiang Yunzhu and others were surprised.


    This time he was going to set up a stall in Luzhou, Jiang Yunzhu only brought Xue Jing, Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi, Xu Qingshan was the driver.


    Speaking of which, before Jiang Yunzhu really underestimated Gu Qifeng¡¯s toughness, he seemed to have identified the Jiang family, and has been looking for work everywhere in the Jiang family. His parents pulled him back several times, but it didn¡¯t work, so he turned a blind eye in the end. Only eyes.


    In Gu Qifeng¡¯s words, they finally resigned to their fate, knowing that he was not as good as Gu Yanzhou, and he would not be able to take the imperial examination.


    Since then, he has stayed at Jiang¡¯s house even more.


    The Jiang family actually liked him quite a bit. He is quick-tempered, knows how to settle accounts, and has a sweet mouth. He is really a good candidate to be the shopkeeper.


    This time he heard that Jiang Yunzhu was going to Luzhou, so he kept saying that he wanted to go too, but Jiang Yunzhu naturally disagreed, but who knew that he quietly followed.


    ¡°Do you know him?¡± Li Song asked Jiang Yunzhu and others. He has been to Jiang¡¯s house several times, and he seems to have seen Gu Qifeng at Jiang¡¯s house.


    ¡°Why did you follow?¡± Jiang Cheng asked.


    ¡°I also want to visit Luzhou.¡± Facing Jiang Cheng, Gu Qifeng was still very honest, but he still couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°After the Chinese New Year, I am also fourteen years old, and my cousin went there when he was fourteen.¡± I¡¯m not as good as him when it comes to studying in the capital, but I¡¯m not a child anymore.¡±


    Yes, Gu Qifeng actually has a clear understanding of himself. He is helping Jiang¡¯s family these days, and he knows what he wants to do in the future. And opportunities often need to be fought for by themselves, and they are fleeting.


    In this day and age, fourteen is indeed not too young, and some people are even married and have children.


    Jiang Cheng looked at Jiang Yunzhu questioningly, what should he do now, drive him back? It¡¯s been half a day¡¯s journey, and it¡¯s not safe for Gu Qifeng to go back alone.


    Jiang Yunzhu frowned.


    ¡°Otherwise let him follow me.¡± Xu Qingshan said suddenly. Gu Qifeng is Gu Yongde¡¯s nephew, so he is also related to him, so he has to take care of him.


    ¡°Brother Qingshan, you are the best!¡± Gu Qifeng immediately ran to Xu Qingshan, said a lot of good things, and even took out an apple from his bag for Xu Qingshan to eat.


    Xu Qingshan didn¡¯t answer, just asked him if he told his family that he must follow him closely.


    ¡°I told my father, but not my mother. I know, Brother Qingshan, don¡¯t worry.¡± Gu Qifeng assured.


    After a small episode, everyone moved on.


    When it was dark, they arrived at Biling Town.


    ¡°Rest here for one night, and you can arrive in Luzhou at noon tomorrow.¡± Li Song said.


    Jiang Cheng and the others are fine.


    There was nothing to say all night, but the next morning, Jiang Yunzhu got up an hour earlier than everyone else, and got busy in the kitchen of the inn. When everyone was up, she just poured the contents of the pot into a jar and sealed it.


    ¡°Yunzhu, wake up so early? What are you eating? It¡¯s so delicious.¡± Chen looked around and saw the jar in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Mom, I can use this.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    The inn provided breakfast, everyone ate breakfast, the contents of the jar were almost cold, Jiang Yunzhu poured it out, cut it into small pieces, put it in a food box, and moved on.


    Near noon, they saw the gate of Luzhou City. Luzhou deserves to be the largest city in Central South, the city is vast and majestic, relying on the sky and the earth. The city gate alone was five meters high, and a person seemed insignificant in front of such a giant.


    There was a lot of traffic at the gate of the city, Chen Shi and Jiang Cheng walked past the huge mottled bluestone slab, both feeling anxious.


    However, Jiang Yunzhu felt a sense of familiarity. This was indeed Luzhou City, where she had lived in her dream for seven years.


    There is a temple fair in the city from the fifth day of the lunar new year, until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day, the city will be very lively. Now all kinds of festive decorations have been placed on the street, looking around, it is festive and full of pedestrians.


    ¡°What are you going to do next?¡± Li Song asked after entering the city. When the Escort delivered the goods, they usually turned back on the same day, rested in Biling Town for one night, and returned to Wuling County the next day.


    What about the Jiang family? Where do they go and where do they live. Do you want to stay in a hotel? Usually it¡¯s okay, but at this time of year, the inn must be overcrowded, and the prices can go up and down. Li Song was very worried that they couldn¡¯t find a place to live, or that it cost a lot of money to stay in a hotel for one night, and they couldn¡¯t make that much from selling food, so they didn¡¯t want to lose money and make money.


    ¡°Our family has a warehouse in the west of the city, but it¡¯s really a warehouse. There are no windows and no water. It¡¯s okay to store some things, and people can live in it¡­¡± It¡¯s not very good, especially Jiang Yunzhu and the others, they must not be able to live. Of course, it is definitely better than sleeping on the streets. But in that case, he might as well pay for them and find them an inn.


    Jiang Yunzhu originally wanted to find a warehouse to store things, but Li Song said it was great that they could store things there. The rest is to find a place to live, and of course she won¡¯t let Li Song pay for it.


    ¡°Is Fatong Temple going this way?¡± She asked Li Song.


    ¡°Are you going to Fatong Temple?¡± Li Song was puzzled.


    ¡°Well, listen to you, the Zhike monk of Fatong Temple is a strange person.¡±


    There are six famous temples in Luzhou City. The first one is Jinguang Temple, which was built by the imperial court. It is the largest and has the most incense. Then there are Jialan Temple and Changming Temple.


    Fatong Temple ranks last among these six temples, but there are also many people.


    The Zhike monk of Fatong Temple is very famous. He is a bit like Yi Yin in the Shang Dynasty and Liu An in the Western Han Dynasty. He is a gourmet. He once wrote a book ¡°Benwei Lun¡±, explaining the Zen in food.


    Because he likes delicious food, the vegetarian restaurant in Fatong Temple is very famous.


    Jiang Yunzhu had also been to Fatong Temple several times in her dream, and knew the nature of the Zhike monk, so she made plans early.


    Hearing this, Li Song recalled that Jiang Yunzhu believed to have asked about the Zhike monk before, and also knew that Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s cooking was delicious, so he vaguely had a guess. However, he still felt that Jiang Yunzhu was too risky.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take you there,¡± he said. If it doesn¡¯t work, he can help them find an inn, at least he is familiar with Luzhou.


    ¡°Thank you, but it¡¯s too much trouble for you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Li Song smiled, ¡°It will take some time for them to unload, I will send you off, and the time is just right for you to come back.¡± After speaking, he asked the bodyguards to unload, and he led Jiang Yunzhu and the others.


    The hospitality was hard to come by, Jiang Yunzhu and the others followed behind in a mule cart and a donkey cart.


    There are a lot of people going to the temple to offer incense during Chinese New Year and festivals. One is to pray for the blessing of the Buddha, and the other is to play by the way. Therefore, even if the temple fair has not started yet, there are crowds around Fatong Temple.


    When we got here, Li Song was also dumbfounded, what should we do now? Look around, it¡¯s full of people.


    ¡°Father, mother, take care of the car and wait for me here.¡± Jiang Yunzhu got out of the car carrying the food box.


    ¡°Yunzhu.¡± Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi worried.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll follow Miss Jiang.¡± Li Song said. He was tall and big like an iron tower. He protected Jiang Yunzhu and quickly opened a way for her in the crowd.


    After a while, Jiang Yunzhu entered the temple and saw a young monk who was in charge of receiving pilgrims, so he went over and asked, ¡°Master, is Master Puxuan in the temple?¡± Puxuan is the guest monk in the temple.


    In a temple like Fatong Temple, the Zhike monk is also prestigious. If it is not for the rich and powerful, he usually will not meet in person.


    The young monk glanced at Jiang Yunzhu, but he didn¡¯t dare to look any further.


    Today Jiang Yunzhu specially put on the new clothes given by Mrs. Liu, with two little hairpins on her head, matching the clothes, she is really as beautiful as a moonlight pearl.


    The young monk put his palms together and asked, ¡°Dare to ask who the benefactor is?¡± Ask who it is, so that he can go in and report.


    But Jiang Yunzhu handed him the food box in her hand, ¡°I have a dish here that I would like to ask Master Puxuan to taste, the name, let¡¯s talk about it after the master tastes it.¡± It is impossible for her to report her name, and no one here knows her .


    Looking at her attire, temperament, and listening to her conversation, the young monk felt that she must be a nobleman of some family, so he didn¡¯t dare to neglect, so he took the food box and went inside.


    There were a lot of things going on in the temple recently, Puxuan was instructing two disciples to do something, when the young monk walked in with a food box.


    Pu Xuan stopped.


    The young monk told the story.


    It was already noon, but he hadn¡¯t eaten yet. Puxuan happened to be a little hungry, so he became interested and looked at the food box.


    The young monk understood, opened the food box, and took out a plate of things to put on the table.


    However, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he didn¡¯t know what to do with the plate of food.


    The two disciples of Puxuan next to him also saw what was on the plate, and immediately shouted, ¡°How dare you bring this kind of thing into the temple.¡±


    The other person was more kind, but immediately said, ¡°Take it out soon.¡±


    The young monk who was holding the plate was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly stuffed the plate into the food box, feeling extremely annoyed with Jiang Yunzhu. He saw that she was a virtuous and beautiful girl, so he brought the food box in for her. Who would have thought that she would harm him like this!


    At this time Puxuan said, ¡°Put down that dish.¡±


    ¡°Master!¡± The three shouted in unison.


    That dish, that dish they only glanced at, but they could clearly see that it was a dish of pork skin jelly. Buddhism avoids meat, but someone gave Puxuan a plate of meat jelly and said he would taste it. Wasn¡¯t this intentionally humiliating him?


    It is tolerable or unbearable!


    ¡°Take a closer look.¡± Puxuan said.


    The three of them were stunned, take a closer look? What does master mean. The young monk took the food out of the food box again, and put it on the table while carefully looking at it.


    No matter how you look at it, it¡¯s still a plate of pork skin jelly.


    Although, the meat jelly was cut into pieces and placed in the shape of flowers.


    Pu Xuan laughed. There are chopsticks in the food box, he took the chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.


    ¡°Master!¡± The three disciples exclaimed in shock. Master will break the precept if he continues this mouthful! Moreover, I don¡¯t know who sent it, and whether it was poisoned.


    But Puxuan put the piece into his mouth, with surprise on his face, then he chewed more and said, ¡°So it is!¡±


    ¡°Master¡­¡± The three disciples didn¡¯t know what to do.


    ¡°Try it too, and you¡¯ll know. You three, none of them are like me.¡± Puxuan likes food, and also likes to study food, but his three disciples are only busy with various chores.


    Three disciples, you look at me, I look at you, isn¡¯t this jelly?


    In the end, they gritted their teeth and tasted it. Master had already eaten it, but they didn¡¯t eat it. It wasn¡¯t that they were rejected by Master in the future.


    They didn¡¯t have time to look for chopsticks either, so each squeezed a piece of that crystal thing and put it in his mouth.


    The jelly is very soft and elastic. When you bite it with your teeth, the jelly melts immediately, and the juice overflows your mouth.


    Fresh, very fresh taste.


    At the same time, the teeth also bit into the skin of the jelly. The skin was soft and chewy, and it also smelled like meat, but¡­they all looked at Puxuan. This thing doesn¡¯t really seem to be meat skin.


    Moreover, this jelly has only the smell of meat, but no meat at all. It is really a vegetarian dish.


    ¡°Have you learned a lot?¡± Puxuan said.


    The three disciples showed shame on their faces. They never thought that someone could make a plate of vegetarian dishes so much like jelly.


    ¡°That¡¯s why I said that you can¡¯t just hang around in the temple every day, watching the sky from a well, and just keep going.¡± Puxuan said.


    ¡°Master, the apprentice has been taught.¡± The three disciples quickly saluted, and then looked at the plate of ¡°meat skin¡± jelly. This food is really delicious. They didn¡¯t even taste the taste of the piece just now, they just thought it was delicious .


    Puxuan snorted and was useless. However, his gaze also lingered on the plate of ¡°meat skin¡± jelly.


    ¡°The person who delivers the food please come in.¡± He told the young monk.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡± The young monk went out immediately.


    Outside, Jiang Yunzhu was standing there waiting.


    ¡°Girl, my master invites you in.¡± The young monk said.


    Jiang Yunzhu let out a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was lucky. She followed the young monk around the main hall, went to a room at the back, and met Puxuan.


    Puxuan was younger than she remembered, but mostly the same.


    Puxuan was also looking at Jiang Yunzhu, his eyesight was still much better than that young monk, he could see that Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s family background should not be good. But it doesn¡¯t matter, the person who can make this kind of dish is already outstanding enough.


    ¡°Please sit down, girl.¡± He stretched out his hand.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu sat down generously.


    ¡°Miss, did you use sweet potato flour for this dish?¡± The ¡°meat skin¡± seems to be made of sweet potato flour.


    ¡°Master has really good eyesight. He really used sweet potato flour.¡± Of course, he didn¡¯t just use sweet potato flour, otherwise he would definitely not be able to make that kind of taste. As for what to add, it is inconvenient to tell the monk.


    ¡°Is it so realistic?¡± Pu Xuan asked. There are some imitation dishes in Su Zhai, such as imitation bear¡¯s paw and imitation abalone, but most of them imitate their taste. Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s dish is so similar in shape, it is suspected of teasing people.


    For example, his three incompetent apprentices just now.


    Isn¡¯t Jiang Yunzhu helpless? Let him eat the dishes cooked in the morning. If he doesn¡¯t make something novel, can he see her? But she couldn¡¯t say it directly, so she laughed, ¡°False is also true, and true is also false.¡±


    Her sentence comes from the sentence in ¡°A Dream of Red Mansions¡±, ¡°When a fake is true, it is also a fake, and if there is nothing, there is something and there is nothing.¡± This sentence exhausts the relationship between truth and falsehood.


    Puxuan was stunned for a moment, true, false¡­Suddenly, he burst out laughing, ¡°Young lady really has a good heart, the poor monk has been taught.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s face turned red, it wasn¡¯t what she thought, she just borrowed it.


    Fortunately, Puxuan didn¡¯t ask her this, but asked her why she came.


    Jiang Yunzhu euphemistically stated her purpose of coming to Luzhou, and what she wanted to live in, and said that she only wanted a tile to cover her body, and she didn¡¯t need to live in a guest room, and she could use a firewood house or something.


    Now there are many pilgrims in the temple, and there is really no spare guest room. The firewood room, ¡°There are quite a lot of firewood rooms, but no one has lived there for a long time. If the girl doesn¡¯t mind¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t dislike it, don¡¯t dislike it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said quickly.


    Puxuan nodded, and asked the young monk to lead Jiang Yunzhu to the woodshed.


    ¡°Then thank you, master. One more thing, can I borrow the kitchen in the temple? I can¡¯t repay you by living in the temple. I want to cook two dishes for the master as a thank you.¡± The food is worth the room fee.


    Thinking of the taste of ¡°meat skin jelly¡±, Puxuan readily agreed.


    Outside the gate, Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi were waiting anxiously when Jiang Yunzhu came out from the temple.


    ¡°Yunzhu.¡± Chen asked with concern.


    ¡°Father, mother, I have found a place to live.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, and then she said to Li Song, ¡°Brother Li, can I borrow your warehouse?¡± Put her meat skewers. It is not easy to bring in these meaty smells by living in the temple.


    Li Song was dumbfounded by her actions just now. She only heard that the Zhike monks in Fatong Temple liked delicious food, so she made one and delivered it to her door. Did you really give them a place to live?


    Li Song didn¡¯t know whether Jiang Yunzhu was too smart, or she was lucky, or both.


    Anyway, he admires her very much now, and feels that the Jiang family may really make a fortune in Luzhou this time.


    ¡°Okay.¡± He agreed.


    After storing the goods in the warehouse of Li¡¯s family, Jiang Yunzhu and others returned to Fatong Temple. In the west courtyard of the guest room, there are indeed several woodsheds, some of which are piled with things, and some of which are a little dilapidated, but they can be accommodated after tidying up.


    Only now did Chen Shi and Jiang Cheng have the opportunity to ask Jiang Yunzhu what happened. Jiang Yunzhu said briefly that she was afraid that there would be no place to stay in the inn in the city. She heard that the Zhigu monk in Fatong Temple liked delicious food, so she thought of coming over to borrow it. The rent is paid for with vegetables.


    Mainly live here, close to the water towers, on the one hand, they take up space to set up stalls.


    When Jiang Cheng and the others heard this, they were both happy and admired.


    That night, Jiang Yunzhu really made two vegetarian meals for Puxuan, and Puxuan sent someone to bring her two plates of pastries. It was obvious that he still liked those vegetarian meals.


    Before dawn the next day, the Jiang family got up early.


    Jiang Yunzhu had already figured out where to set up a stall, and it was by the Wuliu Bridge. The people who come and go there are all people with small assets, which is suitable for her to sell meat skewers.


    They came early, but there are already several stalls selling things by the bridge, some selling biscuits, some selling facial makeup, some selling tea and so on. Maybe if they come a little later, there will be no room.


    Everyone felt that it was very convenient to live in the temple.


    Quickly took a seat, Jiang Yunzhu cleaned up the place, and Jiang Cheng went to get meat skewers and other things.


    When they packed up, there were more people on the street.


    ¡°Grilled skewers, delicious grilled skewers, come and taste them!¡± Gu Qifeng shouted cheerfully.

 Chapter 53

    The purpose of going to temple fairs is to eat, drink and have fun, so few people come out after breakfast at home. They are afraid that their stomachs are not big enough to taste all the delicacies at temple fairs.


    Coming out so early in the morning, or walking, or taking a car, when we arrived at the temple fair, we were already hungry.


    Just at this time, the skewers in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s hands were almost ready to be grilled, a large skewer of meat was dripping with oil, and the oil fell on the charcoal fire, making a crackling sound, and sometimes a flame burst out suddenly, The grilled meat is more oily.


    Sprinkle a handful of cumin and chili peppers at this time, and the nose-piercing aroma makes the mouth water.


    ¡°What kind of kebab is this? How much is it?¡± A man with a child asked, and there was a woman standing next to him, who seemed to be a family of three visiting the temple fair.


    ¡°There are three kinds of meat skewers, pork skewers cost 8 cents a skewer, beef skewers cost 14 cents, mutton skewers cost 15 cents, there are also gluten and barbecue sausages here, roasted gluten skewers cost four cents a skewer, and barbecue sausages cost a skewer six cents. ¡°Jiang Cheng hurried back.


    At the beginning, he was still a little nervous, but at the end, he had completely calmed down, and asked the man with a smile, ¡°What skewers do you want?¡±


    The man lowered his head and asked his wife and children. The daughter-in-law seemed a little too expensive, but the man said, ¡°It smells good. If you celebrate Chinese New Year, buy some and try it.¡± The child also held the woman¡¯s hand and watched eagerly. She, he wants to eat.


    What else can a woman say, buy it.


    ¡°A skewer of beef, a skewer of pork, and a skewer of roasted gluten.¡± The child wants to eat pork, and the wife likes beef. As for the man himself, this roasted gluten has never been seen before. It looks interesting and cheap.


    ¡°Okay!¡± Jiang Cheng hurriedly took three skewers and handed them to them.


    The meat skewers Jiang Yunzhu and the others sell are the kind of big skewers. One is as long as a forearm, and each piece of meat on it is the size of a small plum. When you bite it down, it will be sizzling, and the aroma of the meat mixed with the seasoning will explode in your mouth. , teeth and tongue are satisfied.


    The woman took a bite and rolled her eyes, feeling that the money was well spent.


    Someone takes the lead and immediately someone buys. A chubby man bought two skewers of pork, took a bite, and immediately ordered three skewers of mutton.


    There were also two girls who bought two pieces of beef, covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, and ate with glistening eyes.


    There were also a few brawny men in uniform, who ordered five skewers of each, went to the nearby tea stall, ate and drank, praised the authentic meat skewers, and asked the boss to order ten more skewers of mutton.


    There was even a passing carriage parked there, a servant came over, bought two skewers of each, and respectfully handed them into the carriage.


    ¡­


    There are all kinds of people at the temple fair, and Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s skewers are getting more and more popular.


    Especially at the temple fair in the afternoon, there are more and more people. They have to queue up for this stall even if they come late.


    ¡°Light up that stove too.¡± Jiang Yunzhu took the time to say.


    So she has a stove, Xue Jing has a stove, and the two of them keep moving their hands, which is enough to sell.


    Jiang Yunzhu expected that this might be the case, so she didn¡¯t make so many varieties, but only made the five best-selling skewers. Right now, Jiang Cheng, Chen Shi, Gu Qifeng, and even Xu Qingshan came to help, and they were too busy to touch the ground.


    Back at Fatong Temple at night, everyone was too tired to talk, but they all had smiles on their faces.


    The next day, they went to occupy the space earlier, full of energy.


    In this way, it came to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Of course, a lot of things happened during this period. For example, Jiang Yunzhu found out that the skewers would not be enough to sell, so he raised the price once. Another example is that one day they are already early enough, but the place is still occupied by others and can only be sold next to them.


    For example, someone saw that their business was good, and set up a stall nearby to sell skewers.


    It¡¯s more like a young man who is dressed up in a luxurious way eats their skewers and directly gives a piece of silver, which is five taels.


    This is the way of doing business, you can meet anyone and everything.


    ¡°One mutton kebab, one roast gluten, a total of nineteen Wen.¡± Jiang Cheng handed the last two kebabs to the child.


    Under the envious eyes of everyone, the child started to eat.


    ¡°Boss, is there really no skewers?¡±


    ¡°Mom, I want to eat skewers too.¡±


    ¡­


    Several people surrounded the stall and asked Jiang Yunzhu.


    Seeing that the situation was not right this morning, Jiang Yunzhu raised the price again. But today, there are too many people on the street, and there are many people buying skewers, especially at noon. I heard that there are not many skewers left. Some people originally only wanted to buy two, but now they want to buy three. Such people There are still a lot, causing the skewers to sell faster and faster.


    At the end of the day, the skewers have been sold out.


    ¡°Thank you everyone, it¡¯s really gone.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said to everyone.


    ¡°Boss, it¡¯s still early in the morning, so just ask someone to skewer some skewers.¡± Someone suggested. Indeed, tonight¡¯s Lantern Festival, there are many talents at that time.


    Jiang Cheng and Chen¡¯s heart moved when they heard this, but Jiang Yunzhu shook his head, the meat skewers had to be marinated in advance before they could be used, they made it hastily, there was no time. It¡¯s good now, the goal is achieved, and if you pursue too much, you may make mistakes in the rush, which is not good.


    ¡°Then boss, are you still coming tomorrow?¡± If they come, even if tomorrow is not a temple fair, they will come to buy meat skewers.


    ¡°Or boss, do you have a stall or shop in Luzhou?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu could only shake his head again, and then, under the regretful eyes of everyone, packed up things with Jiang Cheng and others, and returned to Fatong Temple.


    ¡°Shall we go back now?¡± Chen Shi asked, she wanted to leave, but she didn¡¯t want to.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked around and said with a smile, ¡°Let¡¯s leave early tomorrow morning. We finally came to Luzhou. Today is the 15th day. There is Lantern Festival. Everyone go shopping.¡± A tael of silver was issued.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Xu Qingshan asked Xue Jing.


    Xu Qingshan had already collected the fare, Xue Jing received the monthly money, and neither of them would accept the money.


    ¡°For everyone¡¯s hard work, I have made money, and everyone is happy.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. These days, Xu Qingshan has helped a lot. Although Xue Jing was hired by her, he has been busy with her since the fifth day of the junior high school, and the overtime pay is not limited to that.


    She thrust the silver into their hands.


    She sincerely wanted to give it, so Xu Qingshan and Xue Jing accepted it with happy expressions on their faces.


    He also gave Gu Qifeng a tael of silver. These days, he also helped a lot, and the peddler even became hoarse.


    Holding the one tael of silver, Gu Qifeng seemed to see the sea of stars.


    The Chen family and Jiang Cheng also have a share.


    After the work was over, everyone got the money, relaxed and happy, and began to discuss where to go next.


    Xue Jing wanted to buy something and went to see his master in the Xiangke Tower, and he had already come to Luzhou City, so it would be outrageous not to visit the old man.


    Gu Qifeng took Xu Qingshan to watch the lanterns, and took a good look at Luzhou City by the way. Wait until you go back so you can tell others. Don¡¯t come here, go back and ask three questions, how embarrassing.


    ¡°Father, mother, you go too.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said to Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi.


    The two were very moved. First, they wanted to visit Luzhou City, and second, they wanted to buy some new things for Mr. Chen, Jiang Lin and the others, so that they would be happy too.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡± Chen said.


    ¡°You can just go, I want to rest.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. She is different from them, she is too familiar with Luzhou City, she has nothing to visit. After working for so many days, she was also tired. At this moment, she just wanted to have a good sleep.


    Before leaving, Mrs. Chen asked Jiang Yunzhu again, ¡°Are you really not going with us?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Only now did Chen Shi go out with Jiang Cheng and disappeared into the crowd.


    The room became deserted, and Jiang Yunzhu really fell on the bed and fell into a dark sleep.


    By the time she woke up, it was already dark outside. She was full of energy at the moment, first took out the purse, and counted it carefully, there were a total of fifty-eight taels of silver, and after deducting the cost of twenty-five taels, she made a net profit of thirty-three taels this time.


    Of course, if she didn¡¯t give Xue Jing and the others a tael each, she would earn more, but that would be meaningless.


    Fifty-eight taels is more than enough money to rent a storefront, pay for repairs, and even have money for storefront decoration.


    You can get the store up when you go back.


    Satisfied, Jiang Yunzhu put away the purse, looked at the time, and decided to go to the kitchen to make two more vegetarian dishes for Puxuan as a thank you, and to say goodbye to him by the way, it was a beginning and an end.


    When we arrived at the kitchen, the people in the kitchen still remembered her, and they heard that she made vegetarian food for Puxuan, so they let her do whatever she wanted.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the materials in the kitchen, and sighed that as expected of Fatong Temple, which is famous for vegetarian food, there are so many fresh ingredients here in the winter.


    She felt itchy for a while, but also to repay her kindness, she decided to make two housekeeping vegetarian dishes.


    One is Wensi Tofu. This dish is famous because it needs to cut the tofu and other ingredients into hair-thin pieces. Even if you work hard and have no talent, ordinary chefs can¡¯t do it. .


    Originally, ham and chicken soup were added to this dish, but Jiang Yunzhu had his own way to make it vegetarian, and the taste did not change at all.


    The second is Eighteen Arhats, the name sounds like Su Zhai.


    Prepare 18 kinds of raw materials, such as Tricholoma, Straw Mushroom, and black fungus, and stir-fry them into a dish. The color of the finished product is bright but not messy. Arhat.


    Of these two dishes, the second one seems to be simpler than the first one, just an ordinary stir-fried dish, but in fact the second one is the most difficult. There are 18 kinds of dishes, each dish must be matched just right, and the heat should not be the slightest difference. Even if it is Jiang Yunzhu, making this dish depends on luck.


    Sometimes it succeeds, sometimes it is wrong, either here is wrong, or there is wrong.


    Fortunately, she was lucky today and made it in one go.


    Sure enough, people are in a good mood and can do everything smoothly.


    Jiang Yunzhu wiped the sweat from her brow, put the two dishes into a food box, and went to see Puxuan.


    But when she found the young monk Jingyuan who received her last time, she was told that Puxuan was very busy now, so he might not have time to see her.


    Yes, fifteen, there must be many things going on in the temple.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, girl?¡± Jing Yuan asked.


    ¡°No. I just made two more vegetarian dishes. I would like to invite Master Puxuan to taste it. Thank you for allowing us to stay these days. Also, we will be leaving early tomorrow morning.¡± Jiang Yunzhu hurriedly said.


    ¡°I will tell my master.¡± Jing Yuan took the food box and said.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu turned and left, anyway, she had expressed her heart.


    Jing Yuan took the food box and went back to see Puxuan.


    At this moment Puxuan was walking around anxiously, seeing Jiang Yunzhu wherever he was free.


    Today, two very important guests came to the temple. He had asked the kitchen staff to make vegetarian food for them, but when the two dishes were brought in, the guests stopped after only two bites.


    The host still has something to ask these two guests, and he keeps winking at him when he sees this, but what can he do?


    ¡°Master, the girl said that they will leave tomorrow morning, let me help to thank you. Also, the girl made you two vegetarian dishes.¡± Jing Yuan said, holding up the food box.


    Puxuan didn¡¯t take it to heart at all, it¡¯s just a few days in the firewood house, it¡¯s a trivial matter. However, he suddenly looked at the food box.


    In the elegant meditation room, the abbot of Fatong Temple is sitting opposite two men.


    These two men were about forty or fifty years old, with fair skin and full bearing.


    There are two forests in Luzhou. These two forests refer to the Lin family of the Marquis of Anping, and the Lin family of Prince Fu, who also opened the Huaying Academy.


    The elder of the Lin family has been serving as an official in Beijing, serving as the prince and tutor. During the Chinese New Year, when the imperial court was on holiday, he would go back to Luzhou to visit relatives.


    The second master of the Lin family was also an official in the court a few years ago, but later he didn¡¯t like officialdom, so he came back to be the dean of the academy.


    Both of them are full of knowledge and like Zen theory, so today they came to discuss Buddhism with Fatong Temple.


    When the three of them talked, it was time for dinner.


    Mr. Lin was about to leave, and the abbot of Fatong Temple invited him to taste the vegetarian food in the temple.


    Master Lin Er also said that the vegetarian food in the temple is very famous, anyway, it is getting late, and it is not easy for Master Lin to come back, so it is better to try it before leaving.


    Master Lin stayed behind.


    Just talking about other things, he couldn¡¯t help but think about the affairs of the imperial court, feeling bored, how could he be in the mood to eat, so when the two vegetarian dishes were served, he only ate two chopsticks, and he didn¡¯t want to eat any more, which made Puxuan anxious.


    At this time, the little monk brought up two more dishes.


    One is like white jade soup, exuding bursts of fragrance, and the color of one is eye-catching.


    The abbot of Fatong Temple was surprised, the first one, could it be Wensi Tofu? However, this dish can also be made into a vegetarian dish, and this is the first time he has seen it.


    What is the last one? At a glance, there are more than a dozen kinds of ingredients. If they are fried together, isn¡¯t it a mess?


    But in front of the guests, he is not easy to say.


    Master Lin and Master Lin also felt that these two dishes were very novel, so they tasted them immediately.


    Wensi tofu is really Wensi tofu, and there is no trace of meat, the key taste is exactly the same.


    This stir-fried dish is even better. It seems to be messy, but in fact it fits seamlessly everywhere.


    Master Lin immediately thought of a lot, and started talking to the other two.


    The atmosphere in the room immediately became relaxed, and Pu Xuan glanced outside and breathed a sigh of relief.


    Coming out of Fatong Temple, there were fire trees and silver flowers everywhere outside, laughter and laughter continued, Mr. Lin was sitting in the carriage, but frowned.


    ¡°Brother, if it doesn¡¯t work, you can come back too, forget about teaching with me.¡± Master Lin Er consoled him.


    ¡°Eat the king¡¯s salary, divide the king¡¯s worries, if everyone is like you, isn¡¯t a traitor in the court? When the country will be destroyed, can you still hide at home and study at ease?¡± Master Lin reprimanded.


    Master Lin Er didn¡¯t dare to speak. He admitted that he was afraid of the power struggle in the court.


    The crown prince has been fighting with the sixth prince for so many years, how many people died?


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that the Sixth Prince made weapons privately last time? Why was he only banned for one year?¡± Thinking of this, Second Master Lin asked.


    ¡°Your news is outdated, the emperor has already lifted the six prince¡¯s restraint order.¡± Elder Lin said worriedly.


    Master Lin Er was surprised when he heard the words, ¡°How could this be?¡±


    Elder Lin squeezed the space between his eyebrows, ¡°How do I know, the holy will is unpredictable.¡±


    Master Lin was speechless for a while.


    ¡°It would be great if University Shen could stand by our side.¡± Elder Lin said suddenly.


    And Commander Shen, Second Master Lin added in his mind. Of course, Bachelor Shen and Shen Fengming are one.


    ¡°The sixth prince¡¯s case this time is not handled by Qilin Wei.¡± Second Master Lin said.


    ¡°Last year, Li Yushi¡¯s case was also handled by Qilinwei.¡± Mr. Lin said with a glance at him. Li Yushi is the prince¡¯s man.


    Master Lin Er has nothing to say again, he really doesn¡¯t like these things in court.


    ¡°You are in Luzhou, how is Anpinghou¡¯s Mansion recently?¡± Elder Lin finally asked about this matter.


    Master Lin Er smiled awkwardly, he didn¡¯t know at all. He is exactly ¡°keep your ears off the window, and only read the books of sages and sages¡±.


    Master Lin snorted angrily.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu was full, and seeing that Mrs. Chen and the others hadn¡¯t come back, she decided to go for a walk. Today is the Lantern Festival, there is no curfew, I am afraid it will be lively all night outside.


    When she got outside, there were lanterns and festoons everywhere, brightly lit, and crowds of people, which made her feel like time and space were out of order.


    Appreciating the lanterns on the side of the road from time to time, she walked all the way.


    Suddenly seeing a hand warmer, she walked over.


    The hand warmer is a cotton cover that can keep both hands warm inside.


    The owner of the stall was a woman in her twenties, and the hand warmers she made were very elegant and beautiful. Jiang Yunzhu felt her hands were cold, so she bought one and continued on her way.


    On the most prosperous street in Luzhou, there is the Wanyue Tower, which is five stories high. Standing on it, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Luzhou City.


    Today is the Lantern Festival, and there are a lot of people here. It¡¯s just that I want to go to the fifth floor, sorry, it¡¯s reserved.


    ¡°I still wonder who is so rich and powerful, so it¡¯s brother Ting¡¯an.¡± Several people went up to the fifth floor, but the shopkeeper didn¡¯t dare to stop him if he wanted to, so he simply retreated to the side.


    The leader of these people, dressed in moon-white brocade clothes and with a face like peach blossoms, is Lin Yubai, the famous noble son of Luzhou City.


    That¡¯s right, his surname is Lin, which is exactly the Lin in the second forest.


    There were originally people on the fifth floor, and they were also a few aristocrats. The leader was dressed in royal blue brocade clothes, with sword-like brows and star-eyed nose, with a sharp face. Lin Tingan.


    When Lin Ting¡¯an saw Lin Yubai and the others, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, ¡°So it¡¯s brother Yubai, what¡¯s the matter, doesn¡¯t your **** hurt anymore?¡±


    A while ago, Lin Yubai was spanked by the second master Lin. He was talking about it in response to Lin Yubai¡¯s provocation just now.


    Lin Yubai¡¯s expression changed immediately.


    Two groups of people stood at the same place, neither of them wanted to go downstairs, so they chatted upstairs upstairs.


    While talking, someone from Lin Ting¡¯an suddenly said, ¡°How can there be no poems on such a beautiful day? Why don¡¯t we compose poems together and appreciate them?¡± When he said this, he looked at Lin Yubai.


    Everyone knows that although Lin Yubai was born in the Lin family, he has little knowledge and only has a handsome face that can please girls.


    Lin Yubai snorted, and wrote poems as soon as he wrote them. He was afraid that they would fail.


    ¡°What is the subject?¡± Someone asked.


    Everyone looked around and saw the bright moon in the sky. Some people said that the bright moon was the theme, some said it was too vulgar. Seeing the lights in the distance, some said the light was the theme, and some opposed it.


    At this moment, a person suddenly pointed to the distance and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we just focus on beauties?¡±


    Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and clusters of fireworks exploded in the air. Under the light, a beautiful woman in a persimmon-colored dress stood there, looking up at the fireworks in the sky.


    She had black hair like clouds, her pupils were water-cut, and she stood leisurely under the firelight, in the shadow of the lamp, and everyone suddenly had the feeling of ¡°suddenly looking back, that person is in a place where the lights are dim¡±.


    Suddenly, the fireworks went out, and everyone looked intently again, but there was no shadow of that person there.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu turned into a side alley. She seemed to smell the fragrance of the moon just now.


    She had only smelled this smell on one person.


    The alley was a bit dark, she stood there, hesitating whether to go in or leave.


    Suddenly, there was a voice inside, which seemed to be coming from this side.


    She wanted to hurry out of the alley.


    At this moment, a cold light hit her. Before she could realize what was going on, she let out a scream, and the cold light fell to the ground.


    Then there were a few cold lights, and a few more screams. There was no sound in the alley, but the smell of blood was so strong that it was frightening.


    Jiang Yunzhu retreated outside the alley, and there was a lot of people outside, which gave her a sense of security.


    She looked into the alley carefully, and it happened that another firework exploded. When the light flashed, she saw blood all over the ground, and a person leaning half against the wall. It seemed that his body was also blood, but he was alive, and the rest All dead.


    ¡°Mr. Shen?¡± Jiang Yunzhu really didn¡¯t expect that it was really Shen Fengming, why is he here? And the dead people everywhere.


    No one answered inside.


    Jiang Yunzhu hesitated for a while, then entered the alley.


    ¡°Young Master Shen?¡± She touched Shen Fengming with her hand, and Shen Fengming suddenly threw herself on her body, and it took her a lot of effort to hold on.

 Chapter 54

    ¡°Mr. Shen, how are you?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked anxiously, she hugged Shen Fengming, her tentacles were all sticky, she knew it was blood, but she didn¡¯t know if it was Shen Fengming¡¯s or someone else¡¯s.


    Shen Fengming seemed to have passed out.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked around, what should I do? The reporter still sent him to the hospital, and if she sent him to the hospital, she would not be able to hold her back by herself.


    She was in a hurry when someone suddenly asked in surprise, ¡°Miss Jiang, why are you here?¡±


    It was Yang Sheng¡¯s voice, Jiang Yunzhu said happily, ¡°Young Master Yang, look at Young Master Shen, what¡¯s wrong with him?¡±


    Yang Sheng also saw Shen Fengming¡¯s strange behavior, before Jiang Yunzhu could finish speaking, he had already come to support Shen Fengming, stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, and checked his condition up and down.


    ¡°I¡¯m injured, can Miss Jiang help me to help him first? I¡¯ll call a carriage and take him to the hospital.¡±


    ¡°Okay, you go quickly.¡± Jiang Yunzhu hugged Shen Fengming again. She didn¡¯t have that much strength to support him, so she could only hold him like this to barely support the two of them.


    Yang Sheng came back quickly and helped Shen Fengming to go out. At the entrance of the alley, a carriage had already parked.


    Yang Sheng helped Shen Fengming into the carriage, ¡°Miss Jiang¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go take a look with you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, she was afraid that Yang Sheng would need help again.


    ¡°Thank you!¡± Yang Sheng let her sit in the car and went to the medical clinic.


    ¡°The stomach flutters, I¡¯m too tired, I just took medicine for the injury on my back, but it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± The doctor at the medical center said after finishing the diagnosis and treatment for Shen Fengming. Then he prescribed a prescription.


    Yang Sheng took it and went to grab the medicine.


    He helped Shen Fengming into the carriage again, and Yang Sheng went to the inn next to him to find a room. Today is the Lantern Festival, and many wealthy households from other places came to Luzhou City to enjoy the lanterns. The inn had no room at all, but it couldn¡¯t hold back Yang Sheng gave too much, the inn owner immediately vacated a room for him.


    Helping Shen Fengming to the bed, Yang Sheng stood there with a puzzled face.


    ¡°If there¡¯s anything I can do to help, just say it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Yang Sheng showed joy, ¡°To tell you the truth, Miss Jiang, I have an important matter to deal with, but he has no one to take care of him, so I don¡¯t worry.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll come.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Thank you, Miss Jiang!¡± Yang Sheng said gratefully.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m fine tonight anyway.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said with a smile.


    Yang Sheng left in a hurry.


    Only Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Fengming were left in the room. Jiang Yunzhu looked at the person on the bed, picked up the medicine bag, and went to boil the medicine.


    After a while, the medicine was ready, and she brought it in, only to find that Shen Fengming was still asleep.


    ¡°Young Master Shen, Young Master Shen.¡± She called out twice, but Shen Fengming didn¡¯t wake up, so she sat down again.


    After a while, Yang Sheng still hadn¡¯t come back. She was afraid that Jiang Cheng and others would find that she wasn¡¯t worried when they went back, so she went out to find the innkeeper, gave him some money, and asked him to send a guy to Fatong Temple to deliver a letter for her, and reported it to the innkeeper. safe.


    When she came back again, she saw Shen Fengming was covered with a quilt, a few blood stains on his face were conspicuous. Nothing happened, she picked up the towel, passed the water, wrung it dry, and walked to the bed, trying to wipe his face.


    As soon as the towel touched his face, he suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her arm.


    His eyes were ferocious, and his hands were terrifyingly strong, ¡°Mr. Shen.¡± Jiang Yunzhu whispered.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s eyeballs rolled and then slowly closed again. However, he did not let go of Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Young Master Shen, Young Master Shen?¡± Jiang Yunzhu noticed that he seemed to have passed out again.


    I tried to break free from his hand, but found that he was holding it so tightly that I couldn¡¯t break free at all.


    Putting down the towel, she used the other hand to break it off, but she couldn¡¯t do it at all, and she was sweating from exhaustion.


    Jiang Yunzhu gave up and sat there.


    She could only sit on the edge of the bed, almost next to him, because his hand held her arm.


    Picking up the towel again, she wiped his face for him.


    This time he didn¡¯t respond.


    Wipe off the blood stains on his face little by little, revealing a handsome face. The forehead is smooth, the black hair is like satin, and the long eyelashes are slightly curled up, casting a small shadow under the candlelight.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that Shen Fengming could really be called a beauty, even a Sleeping Beauty.


    She sighed, leaned there, and watched the fireworks rising from time to time through the window.


    At some point, she fell asleep.


    The next day, when Jiang Yunzhu woke up, she saw a handsome face and felt as if she was holding something in her hands.


    Taking a closer look, she found that for some reason, she was lying on the bed, and it wasn¡¯t Shen Fengming who was hugging her.


    She vaguely remembered that she slept very uncomfortable yesterday, so she slid down, and then¡­


    She hurriedly stood up and almost fell down, it turned out that Shen Fengming was still holding her arm.


    Standing by the bed, she looked carefully and found that Shen Fengming didn¡¯t seem to be awake, so she stabilized her mind. Treating someone as a pillow, and still being a patient, if this is discovered, it will be too¡­


    With a creak, the door opened, and Yang Sheng walked in from the outside.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart beat twice, a bit like being caught doing something bad.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, why didn¡¯t you go to rest?¡± Yang Cheng came in, saw Jiang Yunzhu was still there, thought she had taken care of Shen Fengming all night, and said immediately, then his eyes fell on Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s arm.


    ¡°He woke up for a while, I can¡¯t break it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu quickly explained.


    Yang Sheng checked Shen Fengming¡¯s condition and found that he was still awake.


    Jiang Yunzhu stood aside, changed the subject, and asked Yang Sheng, ¡°Young Master Yang, how are things going?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s almost done, but I might have to go back to Beijing.¡± Yang Sheng said.


    Then Shen Fengming?


    Half a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Yunzhu was sitting in the carriage, looking at the people next to him, not understanding how things turned out like this.


    Yang Sheng didn¡¯t know where to touch Shen Fengming, and Shen Fengming let go of her arm, but¡­


    ¡°Yunzhu, are you okay?¡± Chen and the others asked when they saw Jiang Yunzhu. They received Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s message last night, but they were still very worried if she didn¡¯t come back all night.


    ¡°It¡¯s all right, Mom and Dad, have you packed everything? Let¡¯s go back after it¡¯s done,¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°It¡¯s already packed.¡± Chen Shi said.


    ¡°Then go home.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said with a smile.


    ¡°Go home.¡± Chen also smiled.


    Those who took things took things, and those who drove cars drove, ready to leave.


    At this time, four people came over there, they were Pu Xuan and his three apprentices.


    ¡°Girl.¡± Puxuan folded his palms together and saluted.


    ¡°Master.¡± Jiang Yunzhu returned the salute.


    ¡°Girl, you don¡¯t need to be too polite, the poor monk has something to tell you.¡± Puxuan told about the fact that he gave Jiang Yunzhu to him yesterday as a gift to the Buddha with flowers, and then said, ¡°The poor monk really feels guilty.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu felt nothing, anyway, she had already given it to Puxuan, and what Puxuan did with it was all his business.


    ¡°Master, you don¡¯t have to do this. It¡¯s just two vegetarian dishes. It¡¯s just to thank you,¡± she said.


    When she said this, Puxuan smiled again, ¡°The girl will take these things to eat on the road. Next time the girl comes again, the poor monk will treat her well.¡±


    After he finished speaking, Jing Yuan and others handed the things in their hands to Jiang Yunzhu. At a glance, there are tea, cakes, fruits and other things inside, which are of great value.


    ¡°How can this work?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked, they lived in other people¡¯s temples, and they still took so many things from others?


    ¡°Girl, don¡¯t refuse. To tell you the truth, those two vegetarian dishes you cooked last night really helped me a lot. This is not a respect.¡± Puxuan said.


    When he said that, Jiang Yunzhu would not take it anymore, as if she minded what happened yesterday.


    ¡°Thank you, master.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said casually.


    After collecting the things, Jiang Yunzhu and the others left.


    When we got outside, a carriage had already parked there. Jiang Yunzhu waved to the driver who was driving, indicating that he could leave.


    Chen and the others naturally saw the carriage and asked curiously, ¡°Yunzhu, is this carriage?¡±


    ¡°I happened to meet Mr. Shen yesterday. He was ill. Mr. Yang asked me to take care of him for a few days.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Mrs. Chen felt it was strange, but she couldn¡¯t say where it was so strange, ¡°Is Mr. Shen all right?¡±


    ¡°The doctor said he was fine, but he was too tired.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Wheels, a carriage, a mule cart, and a donkey cart left Luzhou City one after another.


    Luzhou City is still bustling and lively, and it will not change because of the departure of some people.


    At noon the next day, Jiang Yunzhu and the others returned to Changshi Village.


    From afar, I saw Mr. Chen, Jiang Lin, Jiang Yunxue, and Jiang Wu standing at the gate of the courtyard looking this way.


    Seeing them, Mr. Chen finally showed a smile on his face. They have been away for more than ten days, but they are so worried about him.


    ¡°Father, mother, sister!¡± Jiang Lin and the others rushed over.


    Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi also missed them and got out of the car immediately.


    ¡°Yunzhu, then I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Xu Qingshan said.


    ¡°Well, thank you Brother Xu.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Xu Qingshan drove the donkey cart away.


    ¡°Brother Xu, wait for me.¡± Gu Qifeng urged his donkey to follow and left.


    ¡°Boss.¡± Xue Jing said.


    ¡°You should go home and have a look. You have worked hard these days.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°It¡¯s not hard.¡± Xue Jing said. But he really missed Ruan Shi very much, so he stopped talking immediately and got out of the car to go home.


    Only the Jiang family was left, and the family walked in while talking about what happened these days.


    ¡°Are those meat skewers sold out?¡± Mr. Chen asked in surprise.


    ¡°It¡¯s not enough to sell. If I knew it, I would have made more.¡± Chen regretted.


    ¡°Did that make money?¡±


    ¡°Sure, Yun Zhu said that he has earned enough to open a shop in the county, and Jiang Lin and Jiang Wu¡¯s Shu Xiu also has them.¡±


    ¡°I even bought something for you.¡±


    ¡°Mom, what did you buy?¡± Jiang Wu asked urgently.


    ¡­


    Jiang Yunzhu listened to them chatting and laughing, and her face was also full of smiles. This trip to Luzhou was not in vain.


    By the way, I almost forgot about Shen Fengming.


    Quickly called Jiang Cheng, and carried Shen Fengming to the side room.


    After explaining to Mr. Chen again, everyone dispersed.


    Yang Sheng was not there, Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t dare to wipe Shen Fengming¡¯s face this time, she sat there and looked at him.


    Why is he in Luzhou? What has he experienced?


    This person is always invisible.


    But he will also be injured, and he will lie there obediently like now.


    Suddenly, she thought about how she slept with him all night yesterday, and her eyes fell on his waist.


    But he didn¡¯t realize that Shen Fengming had slowly opened his eyes.

 Chapter 55

    Shen Fengming opened his eyes, and saw a soft and beautiful face, her eyes fell on him, like a feather falling on the water, clear and transparent, with little ripples.


    On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Qilinwei got a clue that the spies of the Xirong Kingdom had hidden in the palace. They wanted to murder the emperor with gunpowder when the emperor was admiring the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.


    Shen Fengming wanted to enter the palace to investigate, but even the Qilin Guards could not enter the palace casually, the safety of the palace was in charge of the Imperial Forest Army.


    He reported the matter to the emperor, the emperor was furious, but he did not let him continue to investigate, but asked General Pang of the Imperial Forest Army to take charge of the matter.


    On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Shen Fengming seized a piece of information, as if the news of this matter had leaked out, those thieves decided to launch the plan in advance.


    He immediately went to the palace to seek an audience with the emperor, and was about to report the matter to him, when suddenly there was a commotion.


    He smelled a faint smell of gunpowder, and then saw a huge wave coming.


    At that time, the emperor was beside him, and no one could react in time. He grabbed the emperor, jumped behind a big rock, and then used his body to protect him.


    At that time, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach, but he still took the order to track down the culprit.


    That group of thieves had obviously prepared their way back. He chased them all the way from Liaobei to Dongqing, then turned to Jingzhou, and finally caught up with those people in Luzhou, beheading them there.


    When he saw Jiang Yunzhu in that alley, he hadn¡¯t closed his eyes for five days and six nights, but he leaned against the wall, not daring to relax at all.


    However, when she walked in front of him and smelled the faint fragrance of lemon saponin on her body, the string he was tensing suddenly broke.


    ¡°Miss Jiang.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu regained consciousness and looked at him, a little apprehensive. He probably doesn¡¯t remember what happened that night, right? ¡°Are you awake?¡± she said.


    Shen Fengming really didn¡¯t remember what happened that night, but he knew that she was always by his side.


    ¡°Well, how long have I been asleep?¡± He asked in a clear voice.


    ¡°Two nights and one day.¡±


    Shen Fengming counted the time and looked around.


    ¡°Mr. Yang has something to go back to Beijing. I asked me to take care of you, and I brought you back. How do you feel?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    The stomach is still uncomfortable, it should be injured, but nothing serious. There is some pain in the back, and I must have been injured.


    ¡°Nothing.¡± He said.


    It¡¯s all right, Jiang Yunzhu got up, ¡°You wait, I¡¯ll make medicine for you, and get you something to eat by the way.¡±


    After she left, the room became quiet, just like Shen Fengming¡¯s mood at the moment.


    But, suddenly, he said, ¡°Come in.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± Someone answered from the back window, and then the person rolled over and entered the room.


    Looking at the clothes, he is a unicorn guard.


    ¡°How is the situation now?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    ¡°Master Commander, here is a letter from the Deputy Commander.¡± The guard said, presenting a letter. The letter was sealed with special glue, indicating that no one else had read the letter.


    Shen Fengming took the letter and opened it.


    On it was Yang Sheng¡¯s somewhat scribbled handwriting.


    ¡°I know you will definitely ask these bad things again when you wake up. I said, can¡¯t you take a good rest? The emperor didn¡¯t let us enter the palace to investigate, obviously to be wary of us, afraid that we would put our hands into the palace, what happened? ?


    If it weren¡¯t for you, that day¡­ Forget it, these words are hard to say.


    Anyway, in the end we clean up the mess.


    Don¡¯t worry, the emperor is fine, the rest is up to me, your task is to have a good rest. I will tell the emperor that you are seriously injured. You are rescuing his injury, he won¡¯t let you rest for a year or so?


    I really told the emperor so, don¡¯t you suddenly recover from illness, let the emperor think that I deliberately lied to him, and punish me for deceiving the emperor.


    Remember, remember! ! ¡°


    Reading Yang Sheng¡¯s letter is like listening to him speak face to face, and one can even imagine his expression when he said these words.


    Shen Fengming took out the fire folder from his sleeve and lit the letter on fire.


    Seeing the little cigarette ash falling to the ground, Shen Fengming looked out the window, did he rest for a year or so?


    The commander of the Qilin Guard, Shen Fengming, was severely injured in order to save the emperor, and after that he pursued the murderer for thousands of miles. Although he killed all the thieves, his vitality was also seriously injured.


    The emperor was so angry that he lost his manners in the palace and angrily scolded all the civil and military officials in the court for being full of wine and food bags or people with evil intentions, and no one could share his worries.


    The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were trembling.


    The emperor Jin Shen Fengming was the supervisor of the Zuodu, and rewarded a thousand taels of gold, three thousand pieces of silk and satin, and countless rare treasures.


    He went to the post of general Pang of the Imperial Forest Army, and let the deputy general take the post of general.


    In the Xia Dynasty, there were five military governors in the capital governor¡¯s mansion, who were in charge of the commanding army and guards inside and outside the capital, and the left governor, who had military power under his hands, which was completely different from those in charge of the prisons and guards in Qilinwei.


    The emperor actually gave Shen Fengming military power, which shows his trust and reliance on Shen Fengming.


    Also, if it wasn¡¯t for Shen Fengming this time, he would probably have passed away by Long Yu.


    This incident caused an uproar in the court, everyone wanted to know Shen Fengming¡¯s attitude, and also wanted to know how his injury was and whether it was fatal.


    Especially some caring people are even more restless.


    Posts about sick visits and visits were sent to Shen¡¯s family like snowflakes.


    At this time, Princess Danyang and Bachelor Shen are dealing with one person.


    ¡°How is Feng Ming¡¯s body?¡± Princess Danyang asked anxiously.


    ¡°The doctor said there is nothing serious, as long as you have a good rest.¡± Yang Sheng replied.


    ¡°Then why don¡¯t you go back to Beijing to recuperate?¡± Princess Danyang was dying of anxiety.


    Yang Sheng blinked, returning to Beijing? Then Shen Fengming can rest and recuperate!


    ¡°The doctor said that it is not suitable for him to move, and it is best to recuperate in place. Besides, princess, you have also seen that there are so many people in the capital looking for him. If he comes back, how can he rest in peace.¡± He said half-truthfully.


    If you can¡¯t even move, then you are seriously injured, but just now he said that there is no serious problem, his words before and after are obviously contradictory. Princess Danyang turned cold, ¡°Are you lying to me on purpose?


    If this is the case, believe it or not, I will prevent you from leaving the Shen residence today! ¡°


    Yang Sheng secretly complained, he really didn¡¯t want to come, but he couldn¡¯t help but, after all, these two were Shen Fengming¡¯s biological parents, there were some things that he had to tell them.


    He looked at Master Shen, can Master Shen understand him?


    Master Shen goes to the court every day, knows the situation in the court, and can understand Yang Sheng¡¯s words very well. Now that Shen Fengming is on the cusp of the crisis, it is time to hide his strength and bide his time, recuperate from illness, recuperate from illness!


    He twirled his beard and praised in his heart. He had always been worried that Shen Fengming was too strong, but now it seems that it is very good.


    ¡°Is he really all right?¡± He had to confirm it first before he could rest assured.


    ¡°I swear to heaven, he¡¯s really fine.¡± Yang Sheng pointed at Tianmeng and swore.


    Master Shen was relieved and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t go back to Beijing. Tell him to take a good rest. By the way, he is in Luzhou? How about we go and see him quietly? Don¡¯t worry, no one will be alarmed.¡±


    This¡­ Yang Sheng suffocated.


    Princess Danyang finally believed that Shen Fengming was fine, and then her focus stopped on the word Luzhou. Luzhou, this is the third time for Shen Fengming to go, right? Although he was chasing the murderer this time, could he choose to cultivate in Luzhou?


    She thought of the food that Shen Fengming brought back the previous two times, as well as the words on the porcelain jar¡­


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s not suitable for him to move, shall we go and see his head office?¡± She also said.


    Rarely, she reached an agreement with Bachelor Shen on this matter.


    ¡°Now everyone is staring at Shen¡¯s residence. The princess and the bachelor just want to go out quietly, so I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t work?¡± Yang Sheng said bravely, ¡°In case someone finds out¡­¡±


    Princess Danyang thought the same about Shen Dashi.


    ¡°It is estimated that Feng Ming will have a letter to you in a few days, how about you discuss it with him then?¡± Yang Sheng felt that he could only do this.


    Princess Danyang and Bachelor Shen can only do so.


    Yang Sheng got up to leave, but when he turned around, he heard Princess Danyang ask, ¡°Tell me the truth, did Feng Ming meet a girl in Luzhou?¡±


    Fortunately, Yang Sheng has already turned around, otherwise Princess Danyang must have seen the clue.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know too well.¡± Leaving this sentence behind, Yang Sheng ran away in despair.


    Princess Danyang sighed.


    The situation in the court is changing, but Changshi Village is still quiet and peaceful.


    Jiang Yunzhu first cooked some vegetable porridge for Shen Fengming, and then boiled medicine for him.


    Shen Fengming was indeed hungry, after drinking a bowl of steaming porridge, he felt warm all over.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± He took the medicine bowl and said.


    ¡°No need.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    At noon, the Jiang family had a lively reunion dinner.


    In the afternoon, Jiang Yunzhu was going to rent a shop in the county. Before leaving, she turned a corner and knocked on the door of the side room.


    Shen Fengming opened the door, his black hair was loose, and his body was tall and tall.


    ¡°You can get up already?¡± Jiang Yunzhu was surprised.


    ¡°Healed a lot.¡± Originally, Shen Fengming¡¯s injuries were not particularly serious, it was because he was too tired that he fell asleep all the time.


    Jiang Yunzhu glanced at him, the clothes on his body were changed in a hurry by Yang Sheng that day, after two days, they were all wrinkled.


    This time, he parted with Yang Sheng in a hurry, and he didn¡¯t leave any luggage for him.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to the county seat. Would you like to buy some clothes for you?¡± Jiang Yunzhu explained his purpose.


    Shen Fengming looked down at his clothes, ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡±


    ¡°Your body?¡±


    ¡°never mind.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t care, he went to buy it himself, and it would fit a little better.


    Shen Fengming **** his hair, patted the folds of his clothes, and went out the door.


    The two took Jiang Cheng¡¯s mule cart to the county seat.


    Jiang Yunzhu meant to buy him clothes first, so he could go back or find a place to rest, so he went to the silk shop first.


    There are also ready-made clothes in the silk and satin village, but they may not be suitable.


    Jiang Yunzhu randomly picked a silk and satin shop that looked good and walked in.


    The store manager is a middle-aged man in his thirties, his eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Yunzhu, she is such a beautiful girl, when he saw Shen Fengming following behind, he almost forgot to say what he said.


    This young man is so handsome! It¡¯s just a little cold, making people afraid to look at him for no reason.


    ¡°Girl, young master, what do you want to see?¡± The shopkeeper struggled a bit, and decided to ask Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Is there any ready-made clothes that he can wear?¡± Jiang Yunzhu pointed to Shen Fengming.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll show you.¡± After a while, the shopkeeper came back with some clothes, including six colors of tea white, crow blue, sky water green, cloud water blue, primrose purple, and crimson. The young man¡¯s favorite color, which one does the girl like?¡±


    He has completely regarded Jiang Yunzhu as a customer.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at Shen Fengming, which one does he like?


    Shen Fengming looked over one by one, he really never bought clothes by himself before.


    ¡°Young master, if you like it, you can try it.¡± The shopkeeper finally said a word to Shen Fengming.


    Shen Fengming looked at Jiang Yunzhu, picked up the tea-white dress and asked her, ¡°How about this?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu inexplicably remembered that he was dressed in white fur in the snow that day, tea white was indeed better than black, she thought to herself.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you try it?¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Yes, young master, you can try it.¡± The shopkeeper said.


    Shen Fengming took the clothes and went to the back.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the rest of the clothes, crow blue, which is actually pretty good, sky water blue, also pretty, primrose purple, crimson¡­ She couldn¡¯t imagine what Shen Fengming would look like in this color of clothes.


    I think it will look good, after all he is handsome, but I feel¡­


    She was thinking wildly, ¡°How is it?¡± Shen Fengming asked over there.


    As soon as Jiang Yunzhu turned around, she finally understood what Pengpi Shenghui meant. Shen Fengming stood there, with phoenix eyes and red lips, broad shoulders and narrow waist, just like the pine snow on the top of a mountain, shining brightly in his eyes. Moreover, it seemed that because of his illness, when he woke up this time, he seemed not as cold and intimidating as before.


    For example, the way he looks at her now is much softer than before.


    ¡°It looks good.¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled.


    The tails of Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes lifted slightly.


    ¡°Do you want to try other colors?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked while holding the crimson dress. Well, she admitted, she wanted to see what he would look like in this shade.


    Shen Fengming shook his head, he didn¡¯t like this color.


    Jiang Yunzhu: ¡­she found out that he is really black and white, either wearing black or white.


    Forget it, this tea-white dress is really nice.


    ¡°Shopkeeper, how much are these clothes?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°Two taels of silver.¡± The shopkeeper was still in a dream, and when he heard Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s question, he came back to his senses. He had never seen anyone wear his clothes with such a feeling, as if the clothes were not ordinary satin, but brocade that was hard to buy.


    Jiang Yunzhu touched the silver, while Shen Fengming had already taken out the silver from his sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper.


    It turned out that he had money on him, Jiang Yunzhu was relieved.


    When they came out of the silk and satin village, the number of people looking at them increased, especially Shen Fengming. Jiang Yunzhu also felt that it would be nice for him to wear black, at least not so many people would dare to look at him.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to visit the store, you¡­¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked Shen Fengming.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡±


    That¡¯s okay, ¡°If you¡¯re not feeling well, just say it.¡± She said.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu went to the street of Wenyuan Academy. One month before the Chinese New Year, she came here to look at it several times. She had already taken a fancy to two stores that were being rented out, one was smaller and the other was slightly larger. At that time, she had no money, and she wanted to rent the smaller one, but now, she can ask how much the rent for the bigger one is.


    The shop was locked, with the words ¡°Ji Dian Lease¡± written on it. I asked the person next to me, and the person pointed to a pen and paper shop opposite and said, ¡°The owner of that shop is the owner of this shop.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu walked over.


    On this street, three or four of the ten shops sell paper and pens. This shop is quite large, and there are all kinds of pens, inks, papers and inkstones in it. There are even books on the shelves for sale.


    But at this time, the students were all in class, so there was no one in the store.


    The shop owner is a man of about forty years old, with a thin figure and full eyes. Hearing that Jiang Yunzhu wanted to rent the shop opposite him, she immediately took the key and opened the lock on the opposite side, letting her see the situation inside the shop.


    This shop should have sold silk and satin in the past, and there are still some tattered shelves left in the shop. The store is quite spacious.


    ¡°There is a yard in the back and a well, which is very convenient for living or storing goods.¡± Shopkeeper Meng said politely.


    Jiang Yunzhu went to look at the back, and sure enough, there was a yard, three main rooms, and two side rooms. Although they were a bit dilapidated, they could be accommodated after tidying up.


    Jiang Yunzhu had already taken a fancy to this shop, but didn¡¯t show it on the surface, and asked shopkeeper Meng how to rent this shop.


    ¡°Twenty-eight taels of silver a year, paid in one lump sum.¡±


    The price is not too different, but Jiang Yunzhu has a condition, that is, if she rents this shop, she has to sign a ten-year contract at one time, and if either of the two parties goes back on their word, they will have to pay the other one hundred taels of silver.


    She has seen too many situations where the shop owner temporarily raises the price when the tenant¡¯s business is good, and she doesn¡¯t want to encounter it herself, it¡¯s too bad.


    ¡°Ten years? Will the girl pay the rent for ten years in one lump sum?¡± asked Shopkeeper Meng.


    ¡°Pay for one year first, and then at the beginning of each new year, pay the rent for that year.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°In this way, Boss Meng will save trouble.¡±


    ¡°The rent?¡± Boss Meng asked.


    ¡°What does Boss Meng mean?¡±


    ¡°You also know that the people in our county are getting richer and richer. My shop is next to the academy, and the rent will only increase.¡± Boss Meng said.


    ¡°Boss Meng, just speak directly.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Boss Meng¡¯s eyes rolled wildly, as he said, the rent of the shop on this street is one year, signed for ten years, how much rent does he want Jiang Yunzhu? If you want too much, she will definitely not give it, but if you ask for less, he still feels that he is at a loss!


    Seeing him like this, Jiang Yunzhu frowned, ¡°Boss Meng, iron mines were discovered in the county a few years ago, and the people¡¯s lives are getting better and better, but everything has its own limit, and when it reaches that limit, the price will not rise anymore. .¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t mean to say these things. Indeed, the situation in the county is like this. After so many years of development, it has passed the outbreak zone and reached a gentle zone. Although it will still rise, it will not rise too much.


    Boss Meng felt that she was trying to lower the price. For so many years, he had seen with his own eyes how this street prospered. What he is most proud of is that he bought these two shops at that time. Now one operates by himself and the other earns rent. I don¡¯t know how many people envy them.


    Jiang Yunzhu stopped talking, the twisted melon was not sweet.


    Boss Meng looked at Jiang Yunzhu and said, ¡°Let¡¯s rent it once a year, no, it will be cheaper for you this year, let¡¯s talk about it next year.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°Then I won¡¯t bother Shopkeeper Meng.¡± After saying that, she walked out.


    ¡°Hey, don¡¯t leave, or I will rent it to you for two years, three years¡­¡± After three years, shopkeeper Meng stopped adding, this was his limit.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t stop at all, ten years is ten years.


    ¡°Bah, who is it!¡± Waiting for Jiang Yunzhu to walk away, Shopkeeper Meng spat on the ground and said angrily.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t hear it, otherwise he must let him know what kind of person she is.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu had already arrived on the street, and she was going to check out the smaller shop there.


    ¡°Girl, do you want to rent a shop?¡± At this moment, an old man next to him asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu stopped, ¡°Yes.¡±


    The old man looked into the shop next door and found that Boss Meng hadn¡¯t followed him, so he said to Jiang Yunzhu in a low voice, ¡°I advise you not to rent their shop. This man surnamed Meng often comes to the shop because he is the landlord. Take advantage, the last shopkeeper of this shop really hated him.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to rent this shop anymore, but thank you for letting me know.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said politely.


    The old man nodded, and then said, ¡°What do you think of my shop?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu almost didn¡¯t react.


    The old man was a little embarrassed and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to speak ill of him so that you could rent my shop. Didn¡¯t you just say that you wouldn¡¯t rent his shop? That¡¯s why I asked.¡±


    It¡¯s like, ¡°What about you?¡±


    ¡°My shop was handed down from my ancestors. Our family is also considered a scholarly family. Everyone has studied for generations, but no one has ever passed it.


    God is poor, three years ago, my grandson won the election and was appointed as the magistrate of Fuyuan County, Jinxing Prefecture last year. He always wanted to take our family to be with him. I was reluctant to leave my shop, so I never left.


    During the Chinese New Year this year, he sent someone to send news that his grandson-in-law was pregnant. No, my wife was thinking about her great-grandson, so she wouldn¡¯t let me do anything, so I wanted to rent out the shop. ¡°When the old man talked about this incident, he was both sad and happy. For several generations, passing the imperial examination has become almost everyone¡¯s obsession. Finally, now the dream has come true.


    All the sacrifices are worth it.


    ¡°Then congratulations to the old man first, the grandson has a bright future, and now there is another child in the family.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said sincerely.


    The old man laughed.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the shop behind the old man. This was a calligraphy and painting shop. The store was very large, and the old man kept it clean and tidy.


    ¡°Come on, come in and have a look. To be honest, if my grandson didn¡¯t insist on me going, I wouldn¡¯t be willing to go!¡± the old man greeted.


    ¡°You are going to enjoy the blessings, the grandfather of the county magistrate, whoever sees you in the future must not be polite to call you old man.¡± Jiang Yunzhu naturally picked up the beautiful words.


    The old man was in a good mood when he heard it, and asked Jiang Yunzhu to look around in the store.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked around the store. This store was bigger than the one next door, and there were various calligraphy and paintings hanging in the store. Walking to the back, there is also a yard, which is also much larger than the next door. There are four rooms, and there are two side houses on each side. On one side of the yard, there is a well, and an apricot tree is planted beside the well.


    ¡°The back is where our family lives. We moved out after two days after we finished packing.¡±


    As the old man said, a man and a woman came out of the room, both in their forties. The man was wearing a square scarf and was full of bookishness, while the woman was slightly fat. She should be the old man¡¯s son and daughter-in-law.


    Jiang Yunzhu is still very satisfied with this shop, but she still has to say clearly, ¡°Master, if I want to rent, I want to sign a ten-year contract, and the rent will be paid in full at the beginning of each year.¡±


    ¡°Ten years?¡± The old man frowned. He seemed to know why Jiang Yunzhu and Boss Meng hadn¡¯t reached an agreement. In ten years, who knows what will happen.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be embarrassed, old man, it¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay¡­¡±


    Just as Jiang Yunzhu said this, a loud female voice suddenly said, ¡°Okay, why not, ten years will be ten years!¡± With the voice, an old woman came out from the backyard.


    The old woman combed her hair meticulously, and she looked like a neat and tidy person.


    ¡°Hey, you!¡± The old man said helplessly when he saw the old woman.


    The old woman ignored him, and said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Ten years is ten years, but the rent, we have to negotiate.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, as long as she agrees to this condition, and the rent is not too outrageous, she can accept it.

 Chapter 56

    Jiang Yunzhu took over the shop, 30 taels of silver a year, signed a ten-year contract, and the rent will increase by 8% every year thereafter.


    ¡°We will leave here early in the morning the day after tomorrow,¡± said the old man.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll come and see you off by the way.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Putting away the deed, and coming out of the shop, Jiang Yunzhu decided to go to the north of the city and hand over Jiang Lin and Jiang Wu¡¯s Shu Xiu.


    This matter went very smoothly, this enlightenment class started on the 20th of the first month.


    Today is the 17th day of the first lunar month, the old man¡¯s family left on the 19th, and school starts on the 20th, just in time. Even the yard will definitely be messy, but as long as it can accommodate people, their family lived in a ruined temple on the way to escape from famine, and also lived in a hill. Compared with then, it is much better now.


    After this matter is done, it is the decoration of the shop. It is better to wait for the old man and the others to leave, otherwise it will seem like she is chasing someone away.


    However, there is one thing that can be done in advance. Jiang Yunzhu looked at the shop next to him and walked in.


    This is a shop that specializes in plaques.


    ¡°Girl, do you want to make a plaque?¡± A young man warmly greeted her.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yunzhu agreed, and suddenly remembered that she hadn¡¯t measured the size of the shop yet, and it seemed that she couldn¡¯t make a plaque either.


    ¡°The girl wants to do business in the county? Almost all the plaques in the shops in the county are made by our family.¡± The young man said.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart moved slightly, ¡°There is a Hengyuan calligraphy and painting shop on the street of Wenyuan Academy. Did you make the plaque in it?¡±


    ¡°Girl, you are asking, the plaques of their family have always been made in my house.¡±


    ¡°Then do you know the size of their shop?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked again.


    ¡°I know.¡± The boy was suspicious, why, this girl wants to give someone a plaque?


    ¡°I rented that shop and wanted to make a plaque.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    The boy reacted quickly, and immediately congratulated, ¡°The shop is big and spacious, and the girl¡¯s business will be prosperous in the future.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, no wonder the business of this shop is good, just look at this guy.


    ¡°What¡¯s the name of the girl¡¯s shop? Is there an inscription? If so, it can be carved into a plaque in the shop. If not, the shop can help the girl ask for words. The price is five hundred cash, one tael of silver, three taels of silver, It varies from five taels of silver to ten taels of silver.¡±


    Further up, the man said nothing.


    The price, of course, is what you get for every penny, five hundred Wen, and you can just find a scholar from the next street to write, and he can write well. For ten taels of silver, go to a famous gentleman in the county to ask for it. Naturally, the handwriting is better than that of a scholar, and it will be face-saving to hang it out.


    Jiang Yunzhu made a mistake and opened a shop opposite the academy, and the main customers are the students and teachers in the academy. The handwriting of her shop must not be too bad, otherwise people will think that your shop is not good. Come in and eat.


    In this era, these scholars are indeed a bit noble.


    But to ask for good calligraphy, she has more than fifty-eight taels in total, thirty taels for renting a shop, and sixteen taels for repairing, and now there are only more than twelve taels left, and decoration is still needed. Where can I buy calligraphy? money.


    To beg Gu Yanzhou? Last time I had already declined someone¡¯s marriage, it¡¯s not good to beg someone now.


    At this moment, a icy voice said, ¡°Let me write, what do you want to write?¡± It was Shen Fengming.


    Jiang Yunzhu turned around, he wanted to write a plaque for her?


    ¡°Does Miss Jiang think my handwriting is not good?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu quickly shook her head, his handwriting is of course good, but she hangs the handwriting of the dignified Qilin Guard Commander on a restaurant as a plaque, if someone knows about it¡­ she doesn¡¯t know yet, at this time Shen Fengming has been promoted to Zuo Dudu , or even more panic.


    ¡°It¡¯s too much trouble for you.¡± She whispered.


    ¡°Miss Jiang took care of me, cooked for me, made medicine for me, and never said it was hard work.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Think so too.


    The clerk over there prepared the rice paper and pen and ink with great insight. Shen Fengming walked to the table, picked up the pen, dipped it in the ink, and looked at Jiang Yunzhu.


    Well, Jiang Yunzhu thought for a while, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s call it ¡®Xishanju¡¯, where you lie on the mountain and listen to the rain, and read thousands of books.¡±


    Shen Fengming wrote like a dragon, and quickly finished writing these three characters.


    ¡°Young master is really good at writing!¡± He just finished writing, and the guy couldn¡¯t help but praise. He often helps customers ask for words, and he has read some books himself, and gradually he really developed a pair of discerning eyes. Shen Fengming¡¯s three characters are vigorous, powerful, thick and powerful, and they are hundreds of times better than those written by the famous gentleman in the county.


    Of course, this son is also outstanding. The man wondered when such a character appeared in Wuling County.


    Shen Fengming looked at Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Good words.¡± Jiang Yunzhu also praised. She only hopes that in a small place like Wuling, no one knows his handwriting, otherwise¡­


    Probably not, Shen Fengming¡¯s handwriting seems to be rare outside, she was in the Anping Marquis Mansion in her dream, if he hadn¡¯t come to the mansion, she would have never seen his handwriting.


    Thinking of this, Jiang Yunzhu laughed again. With such a plaque, those scholars can¡¯t find anything wrong.


    ¡°It¡¯s delicious for lunch,¡± she said.


    ¡°En.¡± Shen Fengming¡¯s voice was clear.


    After finishing all the things that should be done in the afternoon, Jiang Yunzhu went to the market. When she is free, she likes to go to the vegetable market the most, but it is a pity that Wuling County is still too small, and the vegetable market is¡­


    Just as Jiang Yunzhu was thinking, she suddenly stared at something in front of a street vendor opposite, that thing, wouldn¡¯t it?


    She went straight to the stall.


    This is a stall selling fish, but it is different from other stalls. This stall sells frozen goods. On the left is a fish, which seems to be a fish, but the fish looks strange, long strips, with a silvery surface. Shining, looks similar to a white jade belt.


    On the right is a strange thing with many feet. There are many small discs growing on the feet of that thing, which are bumpy.


    ¡°Come and buy, the delicious saury and octopus are all fresh from the south, and they are on sale at a low price!¡± The stall owner is a young man in his twenties, wearing brown clothes and pants, with a witty look on his brows. .


    As he shouted, as if to prove that the two kinds of fish were really delicious, he also set up a charcoal stove, and each skewered a hairtail and an octopus to grill on it.


    It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t do it properly, and the fish smelled very strong when it was grilled.


    Wuling County is located inland, and the transportation was not developed in this era, and the common people had never eaten seafood, so when they suddenly smelled the fishy smell of the sea, they covered their noses and hid away.


    ¡°I said Hu Er, what are you doing here, this strange smell, stop it, it stinks my food.¡± A middle-aged man who set up a stall next to the young man said disgustedly.


    ¡°My name is seafood, something that grows in the sea, what do you know?¡± the young man named Hu Er snorted.


    ¡°Hai, have you ever seen the sea?¡± the middle-aged stall owner tutted.


    ¡°Of course, this is the smell of the sea, otherwise you can smell it.¡± Hu Er said, holding a skewer of grilled octopus to the nose of the middle-aged man.


    The middle-aged man hid back and said, ¡°Take it far away, take it far away.¡± After Hu Er took the thing away, he stood back and sneered, ¡°Just like this taste, you can say it was pulled out of the Dragon Palace. Yes, no one bought it either.


    Hu Er, you have missed this time. ¡°


    This Hu Er specializes in selling things that no one has sold before. He was the first to sell, so naturally he would sell whatever he said. Often, things that might only cost three Wen in other places, when he got them in Wuling County, he would sell them for twenty or even thirty.


    His doing this really made him a lot of money.


    Of course, not all new things can make money. For example, this strange fish and this strange thing, he has placed them since the beginning of the year, and he only bought a few of them. Stuff can¡¯t be fried at all.


    Hu Er resented, this time it was indeed his mistake, he looked at the two big lumps of ice on the stall and worried, what should we do?


    ¡°Boss, how do you sell the saury and octopus?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked excitedly. It¡¯s really hairtail and octopus, let¡¯s not talk about octopus, hairtail, she didn¡¯t know it until she arrived in the capital in her dream. The Xia Dynasty¡¯s maritime affairs were developed, and fleets had already been to Java, Sumatra and other places. Naturally, someone caught this kind of deep-sea fish.


    It¡¯s just that not many people know this kind of fish at this time, and even fewer people eat it.


    At that time, Jiang Yunzhu met this kind of fish in the capital, and was happy for a while, but she didn¡¯t expect to see this kind of fish so soon this time.


    Hairtail, you don¡¯t need too many seasonings, you only need to fry it with oil and sprinkle with a little green salt, it¡¯s a rare delicacy.


    Hairtail fish has less fat. Like this vendor, if it is grilled directly without oil, of course only fishy smell remains.


    ¡°Miss, do you want to buy these two kinds of fish?¡± Hu Er immediately regained his energy when he saw someone asking.


    ¡°How much?¡± Jiang Yunzhu naturally wouldn¡¯t let him see what she was thinking, lest he raise the price.


    Sure enough, when Hu Er saw this, he thought she was just asking out of curiosity, so he lowered the price first, ¡°Saury is eighteen yuan a catty, and octopus is twenty-five yuan a catty.¡±


    This price is twice as expensive as the local fish, and it is not delicious, no wonder no one buys it.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°If I want to buy more, can it be cheaper?¡±


    ¡°How much does the girl want?¡±


    ¡°Talk about the reserve price first. If I think it¡¯s cheap, I¡¯ll buy more.¡±


    Hu Eryi gritted his teeth, ¡°If the girl buys all these, the saury is fifteen Wen a catty, and the octopus is twenty-two Wen a catty.¡±


    ¡°Do you have any at home?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°Yes, there is still half a car at home.¡±


    ¡°About how many catties, not counting ice.¡±


    ¡°Saury weighs more than two hundred catties, and octopus weighs more than one hundred catties.¡±


    ¡°Well, I want them all, saury for twelve cents a catty, octopus for eighteen cents a catty.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Hu Er was dumbfounded, ¡°You want it all?¡±


    ¡°If you think the price is right, I¡¯ll¡­¡±


    ¡°Appropriate, appropriate.¡± Hu Er said pleasantly. Although he didn¡¯t earn much at this price, he still made some money. Mainly, he thought that these fish were about to fall into his hands. Now that Jiang Yunzhu has bought all of them, he feels that he has made money for nothing.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t need to do anything, he knocked the hairtail and octopus out of the ice, said it well, and put it in the car for Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Where do you live, I¡¯ll send the fish to your home when I get the fish ready,¡± Hu Er said.


    Jiang Yunzhu said the address of his home, and said, ¡°Is the fish in your home the same as these? It hasn¡¯t spoiled.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s better and fresher than these. I went to Jeju, and it was very cold there at this time of year. Although the water wasn¡¯t frozen, there was ice. The fish I picked on the pier were the best. Go back that night, the further north you go, the more frozen the fish will be, and it will never go bad.¡± Hu Er said, patting his chest, he has experience in doing this.


    Jiang Yunzhu was relieved, waiting for him to bring the fish over.


    Not long after she went home, Hu Er came to deliver the fish in his car, but this time there was a problem, the fish were still frozen in the ice, would he knock them all out for her?


    There is no place to put it all out, Jiang Yunzhu shook his head, just put it like this.


    How do you weigh it?


    ¡°You should have weighed it when you bought it, right? To tell you the truth, I¡¯m going to open a restaurant in the county, and I¡¯ll often ask for these fish and meat things in the future.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Hu Er understood, and he said that Jiang Yunzhu lived in the village, how could he buy so many fish at one time.


    This is a big customer. After finishing it, his things will not worry about selling. He did weigh the fish when he bought them, and he knew the catties left after excluding the ones that were sold.


    ¡°The saury should still have two hundred and fifteen catties, let¡¯s count it as two hundred and ten catties, and the octopus should weigh one hundred and sixty catties, so let¡¯s count it as one hundred and fifty catties. According to your price, the total is more than five taels of silver, and you will give five taels.¡± That¡¯s enough.¡± Hu Er said.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu also felt the same, and then said, ¡°If you have something new in the future, you can send it to Qishanju in the county. If I think it¡¯s good, I will buy it.¡±


    ¡°Definitely, definitely.¡± Hu Erlian said, selling these fish made him feel relieved, and he is going to sell new things in the south tomorrow.


    Hu Er left happily, Jiang¡¯s house was full of frozen fish.


    ¡°Yunzhu, what should we do?¡± Mrs. Chen asked.


    Naturally, Jiang Yunzhu had plans, she said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s cold now, just put these fish in the backyard and cover it with straw curtains. When the restaurant opens, there will be uses for these fish.¡±


    The new store opened, and it happens to do two new dishes.


    She still thinks there are not enough fish! In fact, she almost asked Hu Er to sell some fish from the south just now, but considering that the first month was over and the weather was getting warmer, she decided to forget it.


    Jiang Yunzhu misses the ice cellar of Anping Marquis Mansion a little bit, thinking that when she earns money this year, she will dig an ice cellar herself, so that she can not only store things, but also have iced drinks next summer.


    This is her plan, now, of course, it is to cook hairtail and octopus to eat.


    There are more than a dozen ways to eat octopus, but perhaps influenced by her modern grandmother, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s favorite is octopus wrapped in pancakes.


    Clean up the octopus, marinate it with cooking wine and other seasonings, and then fry it in a frying pan.


    At this time, there will be a fishy smell. In modern times, it is enough to turn on the range hood, but in this ancient time, there is a way. Light a candle next to it, and it¡¯s basically tasteless.


    Put the fried fish in a crock pot and simmer for another hour until the meat is crispy and the bones are rotten, and then it can be taken out of the pan.


    Here to make pancakes, don¡¯t put anything, just put oil and salt. The finished pancakes are steaming hot, with six or seven layers of flesh, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.


    Use this kind of pancake to roll hairtail, and bite it down, it is naturally very delicious.


    Octopus is even better. Jiang Yunzhu made spicy octopus today.


    In addition to these, she made some dishes that are suitable for rolls, so Jiang¡¯s lunch is pancake rolls, rolls of meat, rolls of bean sprouts, rolls of green vegetables, rolls of fungus, rolls of octopus, rolls, as you like.


    It was also the first time for Jiang Cheng and others to eat octopus. They only felt that the meat of this fish was very tender and had a special umami taste.


    ¡°Is this the smell of the sea?¡± Jiang Lin asked curiously while eating hairtail.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°Maybe. If we have a chance in the future, let¡¯s go to the beach and see.¡±


    ¡°This octopus is so delicious. The texture is very elastic.¡± Chen said.


    ¡°I also think it¡¯s delicious. If it¡¯s sold in the store, it will definitely sell well.¡± Jiang Cheng said with a smile, he couldn¡¯t wait for the restaurant to open soon.


    Hairtail and octopus have won unanimous praise from the Jiang family.


    As for Shen Fengming, Jiang Yunzhu only remembered when he came back, the seafood was made of hair, and Shen Fengming was still sick, how could he eat these, so she made him some other light food.


    Shen Fengming, who received special care, felt that today¡¯s sunshine was particularly good.


    On the morning of the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Yunzhu took some pastries and fruits to the owner¡¯s family.


    Five carriages, some things still can¡¯t be taken away, so they can only reluctantly give up.


    The old man¡¯s family stood in front of the shop and looked at it for a long time before getting into the carriage and leaving Wuling County.


    They left in a hurry, didn¡¯t have time to clean up a lot of things, and left a lot of things behind. Jiang Yunzhu checked back and forth, and had a preliminary grasp of the situation in the store.


    ¡°Father, move the things at home here, Jiang Lin and Jiang Wu will start school tomorrow, and they will live in the county.¡± She said to Jiang Cheng.


    Jiang Cheng also looked at the store before and after, and was very excited. Fleeing from the famine in Changfeng Mansion, it took only half a year. At that time, they had no tiles to cover themselves. Who would have thought that they would open a restaurant now!


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go right away.¡± Jiang Cheng went back and took Chen Shi and others over.


    From today, they will live in the county seat.


    ¡°You can¡¯t leave it there either. I still have chickens. When it¡¯s spring, I can plant melons and fruits in the yard, which can save a lot of money.¡± Mrs. Chen said while packing her things.


    ¡°Well, our business over there will continue.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, of course he has to go back often.


    Speaking of this, Xue Jing whispered, ¡°Boss, when will I be transferred to the county town.¡± He didn¡¯t think the village was bad, but he wanted to follow Jiang Yunzhu, and by her side, he could always learn something.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled. She remembered that she had drawn a big cake for him and said that she would go to the county to do business, but she didn¡¯t expect it to be realized so soon.


    ¡°I¡¯m the only one in the restaurant, so I can¡¯t be too busy, but the business in the village can¡¯t be left behind either. In this way, when the business stabilizes, I¡¯ll hire another person¡­¡±


    As soon as she said this, Xue Jing said, ¡°Boss, if you want to recruit someone, I have a good candidate. My former partner in Yunhe Tower, he is also very good at cooking. Of course, you can¡¯t compare with the boss. gone.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu believed in Xue Jing, the person he recommended should not be wrong. However, ¡°We¡¯ll wait until we talk about it, let¡¯s open the restaurant first.¡±


    ¡°Yes, boss.¡± Xue Jing said with a smile, as long as there is hope.


    Everyone hurriedly cleaned up the backyard, while Jiang Yunzhu came to the shop in front, thinking about how to decorate the shop.


    Now she still has more than seven taels of silver in her hand, but she needs to save some money.


    In this case, if you can do it yourself, do it yourself.


    She intends to decorate the shop in a quiet and elegant way, so as to meet the needs of the target group.


    She was standing there planning, when a young man came in with a few paintings in his arms, and when he saw her, he was stunned.

 Chapter 57

    The young man was wearing a pale blue robe, with a thin body, sword eyebrows, and deep eye sockets. He had a tough and flying appearance, but he seemed to have something on his mind, and his brows were half frowned, making him look a little gloomy.


    ¡°Shopkeeper Chang¡­¡± The young man, Xie Chen, looked around and found that the shop was almost empty, only a few wooden shelves left standing there.


    ¡°His grandson was appointed county magistrate, and his family went to join him. Are you?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    Xie Chen hugged the scroll in his hand tightly, ¡°Master Chang said he wanted a few paintings of Mei and Lan a few years ago, I¡­¡± His voice slowly dropped. He has been painting these paintings during the Chinese New Year, thinking that he can use these paintings to exchange some money for repairs, but who knows that shopkeeper Chang has left.


    Come to think of it, he should have forgotten about it!


    Jiang Yunzhu listened and roughly understood what was going on. It turned out that the young man was here to sell paintings.


    ¡°What painting? Can I have a look.¡± She became interested. Just now she really thought about hanging some paintings in the shop. But just like the words on the plaque, if the painting is not good, she doesn¡¯t want it.


    ¡°Girl want to buy?¡± Xie Chen raised his eyes and asked.


    ¡°I rented this shop, I want to open a restaurant, and I want to hang some paintings on the wall. If you don¡¯t mind, my son, I¡¯ll take a look.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said bluntly. Some scholars really don¡¯t want to hang paintings in restaurants.


    Xie Chen really hesitated. He is a student of Wenyuan Academy across the street. If the students in the class saw his paintings hanging in the restaurant, they would definitely say something strange.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t rush, and she wasn¡¯t in a hurry to buy paintings, it just happened to happen.


    After a long while, Xie Chen said, ¡°Let the girl look at the painting.¡± In the end, the stomach and studies are more important.


    As he spoke, he opened a painting. This painting shows a few clusters of orchids growing in the cliffs, scattered vertically and horizontally, with a handsome composition, and it is rare that he vividly depicts the burning character of orchids.


    Jiang Yunzhu is not good at calligraphy and painting, but she knows how to appreciate it. When she saw this painting, she knew it was a good painting. Seeing a painting is like seeing a person, it can be seen that there is a gully in the young man¡¯s chest.


    Open the second picture, it is a picture of Leng Mei, the third picture is a picture of Qingzhu, and the fourth picture, Jiang Yunzhu has already guessed, opened it, it is indeed a picture of Han Ju.


    There are two left, one is a picture of Qingluan, and the other is a picture of Jiangshan Wanli.


    These two pictures are more vivid and fluent than that of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. It is probably because the former is a propositional composition, after all, it is a bit deliberate, and the latter is the author¡¯s direct feelings.


    ¡°How much?¡± Jiang Yunzhu took a fancy to these paintings, but they were too expensive, and she couldn¡¯t afford them.


    ¡°Five hundred texts each.¡± Xie Chen said.


    Five hundred words, considering the level of this painting, is considered cheap, Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°I want these two.¡± She was naturally referring to the Qingluan painting and the Jiangshan Wanli painting.


    Xie Chen was stunned for a moment. He thought that Jiang Yunzhu would definitely want the picture of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum when he opened a restaurant.


    ¡°I think these two paintings are good.¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled.


    Xie Chen frowned slightly, it turned out that this girl really knows how to paint, so if his painting hangs here with her, it is not considered buried.


    ¡°Okay.¡± He said.


    Jiang Yunzhu immediately gave him a tael of silver, Xie Chen took the silver, handed her the two paintings, rolled up the rest of the paintings, and prepared to leave.


    At this moment, Jiang Yunzhu thought of another thing, ¡°Young master¡¯s paintings I like very much. I am going to make a batch of porcelain and use them in the shop. I wonder if you are willing to draw patterns for me?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that Xie Chen¡¯s paintings were good and cheap, so he naturally wanted to get more cash.


    Xie Chen frowned, ¡°I may be a little busy recently.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu understood that he was politely refusing, and she didn¡¯t force it, so she immediately smiled, ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡±


    Xie Chen left the shop with the painting in his arms. Jiang Yunzhu was admiring the picture of mountains and rivers, when suddenly a female voice said, ¡°Good painting, how much is this painting, I want it.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu almost laughed, she just bought it, and someone wants to buy it from her?


    Looking up, I saw a girl standing in front of the shop. The girl was wearing a long blue dress, with almond eyes and peach cheeks, with water shining in her eyes. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, she had a sense of innocence.


    Jiang Yunzhu was stunned, for no other reason, she knew this girl. This girl¡¯s surname is Qin, and her single name is Yao. She is the daughter of the Qin family, a rich merchant in Luzhou.


    The Qin family specializes in rice and grain business, and is one of the most wealthy businessmen in Luzhou.


    In the dream, Qin Yao married He Qing, the son of the governor of Luzhou, and later became acquainted with Jiang Yunzhu.


    She doesn¡¯t care about Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s background and treats her sincerely, so Jiang Yunzhu naturally treats her differently from others.


    But Qin Yao¡¯s life was not so easy. He Qing wished he could sleep in her room every night for two years before he got married. After those two years of freshness, he got tired of it and left her alone, going out to sleep in flowers all day long. Liu, there are more and more concubines and common rooms in the family.


    At that time, Qin Yao was not like this either. Apart from smiling a little in front of Jiang Yunzhu, she usually had a cold face.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that it was not good for her to live like this, so she vaguely persuaded her that she might as well just get along with each other.


    How did Qin Yao return back then? She said it was her life and she deserved it.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know where she came from, and she didn¡¯t say anything when asked.


    Unexpectedly, this time, she actually met her here. Looking at her lively appearance now, it is really hard to imagine how she will become like that in the future.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°Does the girl know that the painting is good before she sees it?¡± No, Qin Yao was standing at the door, and Jiang Yunzhu was looking at the painting facing her. She could only see the back of the painting, how could she know it was good? painting.


    Qin Yao blushed slightly, but snorted, ¡°I say a good painting is a good painting, how much is it, I want it.¡± Then, she took out two ingots of silver, one ten taels, two ingots are worth twenty taels .


    Jiang Yunzhu put away the painting, ¡°I didn¡¯t realize that this painting is so valuable. Looking at it this way, I can¡¯t sell it.¡± Of course, she guessed that Qin Yao must have other reasons for buying her painting.


    ¡°You!¡± Qin Yao turned pale and ran away.


    Jiang Yunzhu took a few steps and stood at the door of the store, watching her back, her thoughts fluctuating.


    At this time, someone suddenly said, ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu looked to the left and saw a young master standing there. His face was covered with powder, and he was wearing a crow green brocade robe, which made him look like a beautiful woman, handsome and coquettish.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know this person.


    Lin Yubai waved his fan and looked Jiang Yunzhu up and down. He remembered her. That day in Wanyue Tower, he, Lin Ting¡¯an and others looked upstairs and saw her standing in the fireworks.


    Just for a moment, but enough to amaze everyone.


    Later, they really wrote poems about beauties, lamenting that the girl disappeared in a flash, like a good time, so people can¡¯t catch it.


    Of course, those poems were made by others, he made¡­cough! Forget it anyway.


    Lin Yubai really didn¡¯t expect that he would meet Jiang Yunzhu again in the small place of Wuling County today.


    ¡°Master?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°My surname is Lin.¡± Lin Yubai looked at Jiang Yunzhu again, his eyes fell on the painting in her hand, and asked with a smile, ¡°May I have a look at the painting in Miss¡¯s hand?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu raised her eyebrows, ¡°Yes.¡±


    As she spoke, she opened the painting and showed it to him.


    Lin Yubai admired it vaguely, wanted to praise a few words, but couldn¡¯t think of suitable words, and finally patted his fan and said, ¡°Good painting, good painting!¡±


    So, he wants to buy her paintings too? Jiang Yunzhu wanted to laugh.


    ¡°Young lady, can this painting be sold?¡± Jiang Yunzhu finally laughed when Lin Yubai asked this question.


    ¡°Not for sale!¡± she said firmly.


    Lin Yubai was choked up, his handsome face was dyed red, even more as bright as peach blossoms in March.


    ¡°Girl, don¡¯t you think about it?¡± Lin Yubai asked.


    ¡°Not consider.¡±


    ¡°Girl¡­¡± Lin Yubai winked at her, and took out a jade pendant from his sleeve. This is his usual method. Most people, whether it is his mother, his aunt, or a passing uncle or aunt, will agree to his request when they see him like this.


    Jiang Yunzhu had to admit that Lin Yubai¡¯s blink of an eye was just like three thousand peach blossoms blooming, it was really beautiful. What¡¯s more, he¡¯s not the kind of flattering person, but with a little youthful anger, pure eyes, and a touch of greenness.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at him twice more.


    Holding the jade pendant, Lin Yubai was about to open his mouth to buy paintings when he was caught by a cold light. He saw the man walking out of the shop. That person is like a sharp knife, a steep peak, and a tyrannical sea, making people breathless.


    Lin Yubai immediately became obedient, even more obedient than seeing his father.


    ¡°Girl, excuse me.¡± After leaving this sentence, he disappeared in an instant.


    Jiang Yunzhu saw that he was going in the same direction as Qin Yao left.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu shook her head, but she was also puzzled. By the way, she showed the painting to Shen Fengming, ¡°Look, I just bought it, and I want to hang it in the shop, what do you think?¡±


    Shen Fengming looked up and down, ¡°The painting is not bad.¡±


    ¡°I feel so too.¡±


    ¡°Actually, I can also draw.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu: ¡­he can draw? Young master of the family, he should be able to.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s calligraphy and painting were taught by Shen University himself, so they are naturally excellent. It¡¯s just that he seldom draws, and he takes a knife more often.


    After buying everything, Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t bother him anymore.


    On the third day, Jiang Yunzhu was instructing people to decorate the storefront, when the young man selling paintings came again.


    ¡°Girl, last time you said¡­¡± Xie Chen hesitated.


    ¡°Young master, please help me draw the pattern?¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°What kind of picture does the girl want?¡± Xie Chen asked.


    ¡°Just something elegant.¡±


    Thank you for nodding.


    Jiang Yunzhu asked again, ¡°One set of bowls, one soup basin, six large plates, six small plates, twelve bowls, and twelve saucers. Just draw five patterns. How much will it cost?¡±


    ¡°One tael of silver is enough.¡± Xie Chen said.


    Jiang Yunzhu thinks it¡¯s okay. The mine started working two days ago, and her takeaway business started again. Every day, she gets five renminbi of silver. She thinks it¡¯s worth it for a tael of silver.


    ¡°That¡¯s it. When will the young master be able to paint well, I need it urgently for my business.¡±


    Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief, ¡°Tomorrow will be fine.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu took out a piece of silver and handed it to him, ¡°Consider it as a deposit for the young master.¡±


    Xie Chen took it and left.


    Jiang Yunzhu continued to work, and after a while, he saw a crimson figure in the shop opposite, it was Qin Yao or someone else.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the direction Xie Chen left, and made some guesses.


    The next day, Xie Chen really came to send the design. Jiang Yunzhu looked at it, was very satisfied, and gave him the rest of the money.


    Xie Chen was about to leave, but Jiang Yunzhu said suddenly, ¡°Young master, my new store is opening, and there is a shortage of accounting staff in the store, young master, would you like to come and help in your spare time?¡±


    There was no hesitation in thanking this time, ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°About five denarii a month.¡± It¡¯s a bit higher than a handyman¡¯s monthly silver, after all, it¡¯s brain-intensive work. But it¡¯s not particularly high. After all, accounting is not done every day. As long as Xie Chen has time, he can come over and check the accounts of the last few days.


    ¡°Okay, thank you girl.¡± Xie Chen said.


    Jiang Yunzhu nodded, ¡°Just wait until my shop opens, and you can come back again.¡±


    Thank you for leaving.


    On the sixth day of February, good luck and appropriate opening.


    The Qishan Residence has taken on a completely new look. Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Cheng, Mrs. Chen¡­ including Mr. Chen all put on new clothes and stood smilingly at the door of the shop.


    When the new store opened, Jiang Yunzhu invited Gu Yongde¡¯s family, Mrs. Feng¡¯s family, Li Biaotou¡¯s family, Liu¡¯s family, Wang De and others.


    Originally, she was afraid that the Gu family would be alienated from them because she declined the marriage, but not only Gu Yongde and Lin¡¯s came, Gu Yanzhou also called a group of friends to help out, and the left side immediately became lively.


    On the right, Li Biao led his people to stand there. There was a row of burly men, who looked imposing. Those rascals who were staring at Qishanju and wanted to wait until the opening to make trouble and make some money to spend, saw this battle, as far away as possible.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s face was full of smiles. She looked at the two rows of people on the left and right. There were many scholars on the left and a row of strong men on the right.


    She felt amused that she still had such narrow thoughts at this time.


    Crackling firecrackers sounded, and the time had come. Jiang Yunzhu climbed up the ladder next to him, and pulled the red silk in his hand, revealing the three characters ¡°Qishanju¡±.


    At this time, the gongs and drums sounded, and the lion dance team burst into laughter.


    ¡°Congratulations, congratulations on the opening!¡± ¡°Great opening!¡± Everyone congratulated Jiang Yunzhu together.


    At this time, it was the time for the students of the academy to leave school at noon, and many students saw the excitement here, so they all looked here.


    At first glance, they saw the three big characters on the shop plaque, ¡°Qishanju¡±. These three characters are as cold as the north wind entering the pass, as majestic as the top of Mount Tai, upright, straight and vigorous.


    Everyone is a scholar, so naturally they can tell the good from the bad, and immediately praised it in their hearts, such a good word, even if their husband comes, I am afraid it can only be applauded!


    These people immediately became interested, approached the shop, and carefully looked at the shop.


    Some people remember that this place used to be a calligraphy and painting shop, but it turned into a restaurant at some point?


    It seems to be a restaurant.


    I saw that the store was newly decorated, and the windows were replaced with fine white gauze, which looked clean, not like a restaurant, but like a teahouse.


    No, the tea house is not so elegant.


    Through the wide-open store door, one can see a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains hanging on the back wall in the middle of the interior.


    Not to mention the elegant decoration, elegant seats, and exquisite dishes. This restaurant, just like the two pots of narcissus in their shop, is modest and elegant, expensive but not arrogant.


    Isn¡¯t that what they like? I just don¡¯t know how the food tastes and how the price is.


    Seeing many scholars coming, Jiang Yunzhu immediately gave Jiang Lin a wink.


    Jiang Lin and others immediately started distributing leaflets.


    ¡°Let¡¯s take a look, come join us when you have time.¡± ¡°Thank you, thank you!¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s leaflets are all handwritten, with the name of Qishanju on it, and some of the dishes in the store below.


    The most eye-catching one is Mapo Tofu, which costs six cents a piece.


    Such a cheap price. Everyone was stunned when they saw the price of the vegetables. Is the price of the vegetables so cheap in such a good shop?


    In fact, other dishes are not cheap, this is a marketing tactic to make you think that the things in the store are cheap.


    At this time, Li Biaotou and the others had already entered and sat down, and the back kitchen immediately got busy, frying, roasting and frying, all kinds of aromas went straight into people¡¯s noses, as if they wanted to draw out people¡¯s greedy worms.


    Some people were hungry, couldn¡¯t help it immediately, and entered the shop.


    Speaking of the students in the academy, they are the most special group of people in the county. The children of ordinary people are here, and the children of the richest family in the county are also here. But generally speaking, these students still have money in their hands. After all, studying is a costly thing.


    The seats in the restaurant are also different from other restaurants. Other restaurants are either in private rooms or in the lobby. Qishanju is an independent space separated by elegant small screens, which is quiet and comfortable.


    Sit down, there are two fresh dishes today, braised hairtail and spicy octopus.


    Someone ordered these two dishes, and there were delicate gardenias painted on the snow-white porcelain plate, like flowers falling, and in the middle, there were ruddy and tender fish pieces, which were arranged neatly, and there were decorative decorations in front of the plate. The radish flowers immediately make this dish look more exquisite.


    The dishes in this restaurant are basically like this, just looking at it makes people move their index fingers, and eating it¡­


    Taste a mouthful of braised octopus, the bones are crispy and the meat is tender, and there is a umami taste that has never been tasted before, which makes people want to stop.


    Spicy octopus, that octopus looks a bit weird, but when you eat it in your mouth, the texture and umami taste of the teeth can make you addicted.


    Of course, the most ordered is the mapo tofu.


    Although this dish is cheap, it is cooked just right, with a spicy and spicy taste, and it is a hundred times more delicious than the ones bought for more than ten cents.


    In addition, this restaurant¡¯s tamales, Kung Pao chicken, Dongpo pork, and vegetarian fried cabbage, you can just order it casually. There is no dish that you want to eat, and then you find it is not good. All of them have achieved the ultimate taste.


    ¡°Baofulu is not as delicious as their home.¡± Someone praised.


    ¡°No, don¡¯t talk about Baofulou, I have been to the capital, and I feel that the dishes in the capital are not as good as theirs.¡±


    ¡°The name of their restaurant is also interesting. Living in the mountains, resting on the mountains to listen to the rain, and reading thousands of books. It has that meaning.¡±


    ¡°Speaking of the name, the three words on the plaque outside are really well written. I really don¡¯t know who wrote it.¡±


    ¡­


    Many people immediately recognized this store and decided to bring their parents to try it next time.


    When waiting for the checkout, I was told that if you deposit ten taels or more here, you will become a member of the store. Every time you eat in the future, you can get a 20% discount, and if you deposit fifty taels, you can get a 5% discount.


    Some people have a group of servants in their homes, and they can spend several taels of silver for a meal. They don¡¯t care about the money at all. They just think that this member is interesting, so they save fifty taels casually.


    Some people plan carefully, thinking that they will definitely come to this restaurant to eat in the future, so it is better to save some money first, and save some money for this meal, so they saved ten taels.


    Of course, there are more people who don¡¯t survive.


    But, it¡¯s only the first day of opening!

 Chapter 58

    Xie Chen stood in the crowd, staring blankly at the three characters on the plaque, ¡°Xishanju¡±. These three big characters, the strength of the pen, I am afraid that he will not be able to match in his life.


    Before, he was worried that if his painting was hung in a restaurant, people would laugh at him, but looking at it now, it is his honor to be able to hang his painting with such words.


    The restaurant was very lively, Xie Chen turned and left.


    Behind the crowd, Qin Yao saw him walking, wanted to catch up, blushed again, and stood there stomping her feet.


    ¡°Ayao, stay away from that restaurant.¡± Lin Yubai stood beside her at some point, and said with concern.


    ¡°Why?¡± Qin Yao asked.


    Lin Yubai had been to the capital several times. Once, he was having a drink with his friends in a restaurant when someone suddenly exclaimed, ¡°The Qilin Guard is here!¡± The restaurant suddenly became chaotic.


    Curious, he stood on the restaurant and looked down the street, and saw a group of black riders coming from a distance.


    Dare to ride a horse in the capital, this is not an ordinary person.


    Look at that team of black knights again, they are really heroic and awe-inspiring. Especially the person at the front is really like a cold knife, making people dare not look directly at him.


    He heard the whispers of the people next to him, and he realized that that person was Shen Fengming, the Commander of the Qilin Guard.


    A few days ago, the Lin family had received news that the emperor Jin Shen Fengming was the governor of the left. Now the capital is like a maelstrom, and in this game of life and death, Shen Fengming definitely plays a key role. Now everyone in the capital wants to see him, inquire about his physical condition, and understand his attitude. If possible, of course, they will try their best to win him over to their side.


    It seems that his elder Bolin also visited Shen¡¯s house several times, but he never saw anyone.


    Lin Yubai really didn¡¯t expect that he could see Shen Fengming in a small restaurant in Wuling County.


    He could hardly believe his eyes, didn¡¯t he say he was hurt? Why does he look so good!


    Of course, I can¡¯t tell what happened in the court.


    Lin Yubai thought about telling his uncle or his father about this, so that the Lin family might get a chance.


    But in the end, he gave up.


    Shen Fengming doesn¡¯t seem to want to reveal his identity, so if he exposes his identity, who knows if it will be self-defeating. Shi Potian would be shocked at that time, and their Lin family might die sooner.


    Of course, he couldn¡¯t tell Qin Yao about this, so he talked for a while and said, ¡°Ah Yao, what¡¯s so good about that poor scholar, come back to Luzhou with me.¡±


    Qin Yao said angrily, ¡°Who said he¡¯s better?¡±


    Lin Yubai was helpless.


    Qin Yao chased in the direction Xie Chen left.


    Lin Yubai wanted to keep up.


    Qin Yao turned her head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t follow me, you have so many sisters and sisters, just go with them.¡±


    ¡°Ayao¡­¡±


    ¡°Follow me again, be careful I¡¯m not polite to you.¡± Qin Yao gestured.


    Lin Yubai could only stop there.


    Qin Yao continued to walk forward, came to an alley, and saw Xie Chen enter a house.


    She didn¡¯t know what was so good about being grateful, but that day he stood in front of her and shouted those two scoundrels away, so she just wanted to see him more. Especially his frowning eyebrows, she wanted to smooth them out for him.


    Xie Chen entered the yard, but heard a crackling sound.


    He looked into the kitchen, his eyes turned red with anger.


    ¡°I told you to hide, you try to hide again. If you put so much salt in a dish, you want to kill me!¡± Xie Yong held a wooden stick in his hand, and beat it on a basket.


    The basket trembled, and there was a whimpering sound from under the basket.


    Xie Chen grabbed the stick in Xie Yong¡¯s hand and shouted, ¡°What are you doing!¡±


    Xie Yong saw that it was him, and said angrily, ¡°Why, you can handle me beating my daughter? If you are in a hurry, I will beat you too.¡±


    It¡¯s not like they didn¡¯t fight before, before Xie Chen was thirteen years old, Xie Yong beat and scolded their brothers and sisters. Later, Xie Chen made money by copying books by himself, and became stronger again. Every time Xie Yong tried to beat him, he couldn¡¯t get any favors, so he stopped beating him.


    ¡°Try it!¡± Xie Chen gritted his teeth.


    Xie Yong looked at him, he was half a head taller than he is now, although he was thin, he was no longer the kid who was beaten and scolded before.


    Xie Yong **** on the ground and cursed, ¡°What, you read the book into the dog¡¯s stomach, and you dare to hit me. I think you are just like your bitch, a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it.


    After so many years, if it wasn¡¯t for Lao Tzu, how could you two grow up so big? Now that the wings are hard, don¡¯t let them touch them, right? ¡°


    Not long after Xie Lian was born, Xie Chen¡¯s mother ran away with others because she couldn¡¯t bear Xie Yong¡¯s temper.


    From then on, Xie Yong beat and scolded the two brothers and sisters Xie Chen.


    Xie Chen stared at him, his eyes were red, he wanted to yell and laugh at the same time, besides giving them a bite to eat and not letting them starve to death for so many years, how could he be like a father? Given the choice, he didn¡¯t want to be his son at all.


    ¡°Eat yours, I will pay you back in the future, you are not allowed to touch Xie Lian again, or I will fight you hard!¡± Xie Chen is serious, this is the last time he warns him.


    ¡°Repay? What are you going to pay back? I gave you your life.¡± Xie Yong scolded.


    Xie Chen¡¯s eyes were red, and he just stared at him.


    Xie Yong was really afraid of him, cursed again, stretched out his hand and said, ¡°What about money, this girl puts so much salt in cooking, if she wants to kill me, I¡¯ll go out to eat.¡±


    ¡°No money.¡± Xie Chen said.


    ¡°You paint and write every day, and you tell me that you have no money? Have you read all the books for so many years for nothing!¡± Xie Yong said.


    ¡°If I say no, then there won¡¯t be.¡± Xie Chen said coldly. Reading books is a costly thing. For so many years, he has been painting and copying books, and he can barely maintain his studies. How can he have any spare money.


    ¡°You also said to pay me back in the future, and I don¡¯t think you plan to pay it back. Why did I give birth to you two dead stars?¡± Xie Yong threw the stick and went out by himself.


    Xie Chen bent down to get the basket, and said softly, ¡°He¡¯s gone, don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯m here.¡±


    Suddenly, a petite figure jumped out from behind the basket and threw himself into his arms.


    Xie Lian wept bitterly.


    Xie Chen saw that her hands and arms were covered with red marks. He touched her head distressedly, and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take you to Beijing with me in April, and I won¡¯t let him see you again.¡±


    The Xia Dynasty took the imperial examination in May every year, and Xie Chen set off from home in April, just in time.


    ¡°Wow.¡± Xie Lian sobbed.


    Xie Chen felt even more saddened to hear her like this. Xie Lian was originally able to speak, but when she was eight years old, for some reason, she suddenly couldn¡¯t speak. Can make a sound, but can¡¯t speak. He took her to see the doctor several times, but the doctor couldn¡¯t do anything, so he could only do this.


    He decided to wait until he entered Beijing, and then find a famous doctor to treat Xie Lian.


    Xie Lian rubbed against his arms again, then ran to the kitchen, took out a dry biscuit from a broken bowl in the cabinet, and handed it to Xie Chen.


    ¡°I¡¯m not hungry, you can eat.¡± Xie Chen said against his will.


    Xie Lian shook her head sensiblely, and gave him the dry biscuit. My brother is studying, so he can¡¯t go hungry. When my brother passed the imperial examination, he would be able to take her away.


    The brother and sister ate the dry cake, Xie Lian wiped the cake crumbs from the corner of Xie Chen¡¯s mouth, laughing through tears.


    At the entrance of the alley, Xie Yong saw Qin Yao standing there, his eyes lit up immediately, such a beautiful girl, and judging by her clothes, she must be the daughter of a rich family.


    ¡°This girl, why did you get here? Are you looking for someone? I¡¯m not bragging. There is no one in Wuling County that I don¡¯t know, and there is no way that I don¡¯t know.¡± Xie Yong salivated and said to Qin Yao.


    Seeing him coming out of Xie Chen¡¯s house, Qin Yao guessed that he was Xie Chen¡¯s father or other relatives, and immediately blushed.


    At the end of the day, almost all the customers in the store were gone, Jiang Yunzhu came out from the back kitchen, thanking those who came to join us today.


    First of all, I would like to thank Gu Yanzhou and those scholars, they are going to class soon.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said to Gu Yanzhou.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to talk about this.¡± Gu Yanzhou was still so calm, as if he didn¡¯t mind Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s polite refusal of his marriage.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, that¡¯s fine.


    She gave Gu Yanzhou and those scholars each a blue membership card with the names of these scholars written on the membership card. With this card, these scholars can enjoy a 5% discount when they come to her restaurant to eat.


    Those scholars were overjoyed when they received the cards. They can see that others have to deposit fifty taels of silver in the store to get this card. They just came to help and got it.


    In the future, they will come here to eat, not only saving money, but also saving face!


    Thinking this way, they all felt that today was not in vain.


    ¡°You!¡± Gu Yanzhou smiled helplessly at Jiang Yunzhu. She was always so smart that even if he wanted to help her, he couldn¡¯t help her.


    Forget it, the group of them left and went to the academy opposite.


    Then came Gu Yongde, Liu Shi and others, also with a blue membership card.


    Finally, there are Li Biaotou and the others, and here is the membership card.


    Li Escort took it, and laughed, ¡°It will be much more convenient if I want to eat your food in the future.¡± Since I lived in Changshi Village for a few days a few years ago, both he and Li Yan fell in love with the dishes made by Jiang Yunzhu, but they were helpless. Too far away, now it¡¯s fine.


    ¡°Then come often.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said with a smile.


    ¡°Definitely.¡± Li Escort agreed, and then took the man away.


    The shop became deserted, and only then did the Jiang family have time to eat. After a quick lunch, Mrs. Chen cleaned the floor while Jiang Yunzhu wiped the table. But at some point, she sat at a table and fell asleep.


    Afraid of disturbing her, Chen slackened her movements and went to the backyard to prepare the ingredients for the evening.


    Jiang Yunzhu was the only one left in the restaurant, and she lay there quietly, breathing evenly.


    Shen Fengming walked into the store, sat opposite her, and looked at her.


    Her side face is very beautiful, with interlaced light and dark lines, her skin is like fat, her lips are slightly parted, slightly undulating with her breathing, moist and soft. The long eyelashes drooped, and although her eyes were tightly closed, he knew how sparkling and agile they should be when they were opened, just like her.


    She was very tired, and he didn¡¯t want her to be so tired, actually.


    But he knew that she was like Qing Luan in the painting over there, only when she soared freely in the sky could she sing happily.


    One of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s hands rested on the table, and the other fingers were held together. The partial index finger was sticking out, and the fingertips were round and shining with a pink and lustrous luster.


    Shen Fengming suddenly stretched out his index finger, lightly touched her fingertips, and then slowly connected.


    Jiang Yunzhu slept for half an hour before waking up, woke up and sat there, dazed for a while, before fully waking up.


    Then she felt that it was time for her to recruit!


    It happened that Jiang Cheng was going back to the village to get a batch of ingredients, so she asked him to bring a message to Xue Jing. He had recommended someone before, and if it was convenient, please invite that person to come to Qishanju.


    Xue Jing had been waiting for her to say this. Hearing this, he immediately got into Jiang Cheng¡¯s carriage, went around the county, and brought his former partner over.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu had finished tidying up the Qishan Residence, and was about to open for business at night.


    ¡°Boss, this is the person I mentioned.¡± Xue Jing said excitedly as soon as he entered the door. Qishanju opened today, and he wanted to come and see it, but the business at the mine couldn¡¯t stop, which made him anxious to death.


    it¡¯s good now.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked behind him, and saw a man in his thirties. The man was tall and fat, but he had a gentle face, especially his eyes, and he smiled very happily.


    Tan Debao also saw Jiang Yunzhu at this moment, and was taken aback. He had already heard Xue Jing say something about Jiang Yunzhu, for example, she opened a restaurant in the county town within half a year, for example, she is a good cook, and her specialty dishes emerge in endlessly, etc. He was curious about her, but also had some doubts.


    Mainly, he couldn¡¯t imagine what such a girl was like.


    But when he really saw Qishanju and Jiang Yunzhu, he suddenly felt that Xue Jing didn¡¯t seem to be exaggerating.


    Look at this mountain residence, even in the city of Luzhou, there may not be such an elegant place, which shows how delicate Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s mind is.


    Then it seems reasonable that she can cook delicious meals.


    ¡°Boss Jiang.¡± Tan Debao said respectfully.


    Jiang Yunzhu was satisfied with him five points first, at least he looked good.


    Then came the test of cooking skills.


    Tan Debao immediately put on his apron and went into the kitchen. He looked tall and fat, but his movements were extremely agile and flexible, and he fried a fried liver in a short time.


    This dish is still very particular about the heat. If the fire is too high, the liver tip will get old easily. If the fire is low, the liver tip will lack the burnt aroma, which is not good.


    Although Tan Debao¡¯s tricks are not perfect, Jiang Yunzhu feels that he can score eight points.


    She looked at Tan Debao, then at Xue Jing, and suddenly became a little curious about how the Yunhe Tower was closed in the first place. With these two chefs, as long as the business is not particularly bad, it should be able to continue.


    Xue Jing seemed to see what she was thinking, suppressed his excitement, and said to her, ¡°Boss, be careful of Baofulou, they are not clean.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu raised her eyebrows, Baofulou is the most famous restaurant in Wuling County, he is not clean¡­


    Speaking of Baofulou, Tan Debao also changed his face. He looked at Xue Jing, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Actually, before the accident happened to the owner of Yunhelou, someone came to me and said that as long as I do a little favor, I will give it to you.¡± I didn¡¯t agree to ten taels of silver.¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say this earlier!¡± Xue Jing said.


    Tan Debao was very ashamed. Who would talk nonsense about this kind of thing? If something happened, if it wasn¡¯t him, others would doubt him.


    Xue Jing also thought of this, don¡¯t blame him anymore, he didn¡¯t take the money, and now he is willing to say it, it¡¯s not bad.


    ¡°Boss Jiang, you really have to be careful.¡± Tan Debao also said, he didn¡¯t want the restaurant to close down before work started. Moreover, he felt that it was really not easy for a girl like Jiang Yunzhu to set up such a restaurant.


    Is it Baofu Building? Jiang Yunzhu knew it well. She didn¡¯t say this again, and said to Tan Debao with a smile, ¡°I want to talk to you.¡±


    Tan Debao vaguely guessed what she wanted to say, and nodded immediately.


    The two went outside, Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what Xue Jing told you, let me say it again, if you think it¡¯s okay, let¡¯s sign the contract.


    I hired you because I want you to take over Xue Jing¡¯s work and cook in the village. Monthly money, just like Xue Jing, one tael of silver per month, signed for ten years.


    Most of our family lives in the county now, and there are many vacant houses, you can choose one to live in.


    The monthly money grows by half every year.


    Then you have worked for three years, and if you do well, I will transfer you to the county seat. ¡°Jiang Yunzhu said for a long time, the most important thing is this, to provide employees with an upward channel.


    Sure enough, when Tan Debao heard this sentence, he immediately became excited. He had planned to stay in the village for ten years, what did Jiang Yunzhu say now? Three years later, she will transfer him to the county seat?


    Then why is he afraid, ¡°Boss, I will definitely do a good job!¡± He immediately promised.


    ¡°Okay, first sign the contract, and let Xue Jing take you these few days.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    After a while, when everything was done, Xue Jing immediately took Tan Debao back to Changshi Village, and he couldn¡¯t wait to teach him what happened there.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the backs of the two of them and smiled. The employees are very motivated, not bad!


    Then the store will recruit two waiters and two handymen, so that Mrs. Chen and Jiang Yunxue can also rest.


    Jiang Yunzhu took the red paper and was going to write a recruitment notice and post it at the door of the store.


    At this time, Xie Chen walked in, he was still in the old green robe, frowning, full of thoughts.


    ¡°Girl, do you want to account today?¡± He asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu was about to take a look at how much money she had made at noon, but in this day and age there was no computer, and the accounts kept at noon were messy, which gave her a headache.


    ¡°Yes.¡± She said immediately, and handed the account book to Xie Chen.


    Xie Chen took the ledger and sat there with a pen in one hand and an abacus in the other. The sun shone on him, casting a slender shadow.


    Jiang Yunzhu continued to write her recruitment notice.


    Xie Chen accidentally looked up and saw what she wrote. Frowning and thinking for a long time, he suddenly said, ¡°Girl, do you want to recruit?¡±


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Jiang Yunzhu looked up, what, is he coming to the waiter or working as a handyman?


    ¡°It¡¯s not me. I have to prepare for the exam. I don¡¯t have much time. It¡¯s my sister. But she may not be able to do it for long. In April, I want to take her to Beijing with me.¡± Suddenly, he said again, ¡°Sorry, the girl is my sister.¡± It¡¯s just not said.¡±


    Then he bowed his head and continued to settle accounts.


    Jiang Yunzhu was not sure whether he wanted his sister to work or not.

 Chapter 59

    After a while, Xie Chen had already finished the calculations, and summarized all the accounts and listed them there so that people can understand them at a glance.


    Jiang Yunzhu took over his accounts, not bad, he made this account, which already has the meaning of a modern report.


    But she didn¡¯t know that Xie Chen wrote it like this because he was afraid that she wouldn¡¯t understand it.


    At noon today, two people deposited fifty taels of silver, and seven deposited ten taels of silver, which is one hundred and seventy taels of silver. The money belonged to Jiang Yunzhu, but it didn¡¯t belong to her completely.


    But Jiang Yunzhu is already very satisfied, at least with the working capital in the store, she doesn¡¯t have to be timid about what to do.


    In addition, I made a net profit of two taels of silver at noon.


    This should be due to the delay of the opening of the restaurant. When the lion dance team made a fuss, everyone saw the freshness, so they wanted to come in and try it.


    It is estimated that there will not be so many guests at night.


    Just as Jiang Yunzhu thought, there were a lot fewer guests at night.


    The next day there were suddenly more guests, some were invited by friends to try something new, and some brought their families to eat.


    On the third day, there were a lot fewer customers.


    On the fourth day, the customers stabilized, Xie Chen came to settle the account, and found that he had earned two or three taels of silver that day.


    Two or three dollars a day, nearly seventy taels a month, this income is already considerable.


    But the premise is that this business can be done well.


    In the past two days, Jiang Yunzhu really asked someone about Baofulou. This restaurant has been open in Wuling County for more than 30 years, and the owner¡¯s surname is Song. Five years ago, the old owner handed over the store to his two sons, and they went to take care of themselves.


    The eldest son of the Song family was obviously more capable than the second son, so he dismissed the old shopkeeper and became the shopkeeper himself, taking care of all the big and small things in the shop.


    In the past four years, three restaurants have been opened in the county, but each of them closed down after operating for more than half a year at the longest.


    In the first restaurant, rat heads were eaten in the food, so disgusting that everyone never went to that restaurant again.


    The second one, the owner is a foreigner, and there are always arresters coming to his shop to inquire about various things. The disturbed customers can¡¯t eat well, and the business is naturally not good. Later, he closed the door and left in a fit of anger.


    The third is the Yunhe Tower where Xue Jing and the others work. This one is outrageous. The wife of the owner of the shop ran away with someone else. There are rumors in the shop every day, saying that he is actually an **** who can¡¯t satisfy his wife at all. I often stare at the female customers in the store to see Yunyun.


    The store owner was exhausted and closed the door.


    After listening to Jiang Yunzhu, she felt that she understood what Xue Jing meant when Bao Fu Lou was not clean. It is normal for a restaurant to close down, but in the past four years, all the restaurants that competed with Bao Fu Lou for business have closed down, which is a bit unreasonable up.


    She secretly became wary.


    At this time, Baofulou asked, ¡°Why is this month¡¯s dividend so much less?¡± Song Laoer patted the table and said angrily.


    Shopkeeper Song was settling accounts, and raised his head when he heard the words, ¡°There is a new Qishanju in the county. In the past few days, the running water in our store has decreased by 30%.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s only been open for a few days, so it has such a big impact!¡± Song Laoer knew about the Qishanju, and he actually went to eat there.


    The reputation of that store has spread, saying that it is the favorite store of scholars in the county. Scholars, everything is inferior, only reading is high, and what they praise must be unusual.


    Sure enough, after he went there, he found that the environment there was really good, and the dishes were well prepared. Tsk, the boss is even more beautiful.


    When I think of the food made by such a beautiful girl, I feel that the food is even more delicious.


    ¡°What do you know, everything is expensive now, and the store doesn¡¯t make money in the first place.¡± Shopkeeper Song said. In fact, this month¡¯s income is not so small, but Song Laoer doesn¡¯t do anything, so why should he give him the money?


    Thinking of this, he felt annoyed. Why did his father give birth to Song¡¯s second child? If he was the only one, everything would belong to him now. I don¡¯t know how happy it is.


    When he thought this way, he seemed to forget that he already had three sons, and now that his concubine was pregnant again, he still hoped that she would give birth to a son.


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand? What I don¡¯t understand, you just don¡¯t want to give me money. I¡¯m leaving the word here today, or give me the money of last month, or I will go to my father. It was agreed at the beginning, Half of the restaurant¡¯s family, you manage it yourself, what¡¯s the matter if you don¡¯t let me intervene?


    Do not make money? Then you let me be the shopkeeper and guarantee to make money. ¡°Song Lao Er sat there, looking like a rascal.


    Shopkeeper Song smiled. If you want money, you can, but you can¡¯t do it.


    It was lunch time again, and Xue Jing had already handed over the affairs of the village to Tan Debao very quickly, and came to the store to report. He has studied with Jiang Yunzhu for so long, so he can be regarded as her good helper.


    When he came, Jiang Yunzhu was much more relaxed, and he could take a break in the middle to look at the people in the store.


    She found that there were three tables of female customers in the store today, and they were all well-dressed girls in their teens.


    The seats in Qishanju are a bit like modern booths, each table is comfortable and has a certain degree of privacy, and female guests can also feel at ease dining here.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the female guests thoughtfully.


    ¡°Our shop is quite famous now. Everyone says our shop is elegant, so naturally these girls are also willing to come.¡± Mrs. Chen thought she was wondering why there were so many female customers in the shop, and smiled.


    Jiang Yunzhu also smiled, it seems that her shop is still developing a lot.


    Another new customer group, Jiang Yunzhu felt that it was necessary to develop it.


    The first thing she thought of was octopus balls. In fact, when she first saw those octopuses, this kind of snack was what she thought of. Unfortunately, she has been busy these days and has no time to make them.


    Don¡¯t do this, it¡¯s a bit troublesome, first get a ball-shaped frying pan. For the rest, she thought about it carefully, but she could overcome it. Octopus **** are also called takoyaki, and they were born very early. At that time, there were no modern seasonings, and they were still delicious.


    Then, free to order a frying pan.


    With octopus balls, Jiang Yunzhu immediately thought of another thing, milk tea! The main thing is milk. With milk, she can make a series of snacks and drinks to enrich her dishes.


    Thinking of this, she couldn¡¯t help but want to go to the market.


    After eating and sleeping for a while, Jiang Yunzhu got up and went out, preparing to go to the market. Living in the county is good, shopping is much more convenient.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, go out?¡± At this moment, a voice said.


    When Jiang Yunzhu turned her head, it was Shen Fengming, ¡°Yes.¡± She said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to the market.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°I happen to be shopping for something, too.¡±


    It turned out to be like this.


    Jiang Yunzhu went out first, and Shen Fengming followed beside her. As soon as the two appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of many people. The man was tall and straight, and the girl was beautiful and graceful. Walking together, the two immediately added a lot of color to this bleak winter.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked around as he walked, to see where there was a blacksmith¡¯s shop.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes fell on the young couple opposite.


    They were a very ordinary young couple. The man was not handsome, but he had straight eyebrows, and the woman was pretty. They were holding hands, talking and laughing as they walked.


    The young couple walked over quickly, Shen Fengming lowered his eyes and saw Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s hand hanging on the right. The winter clothes are wide and the sleeves are a little longer, and only a part of her hands are exposed, which are plump and fair.


    He moved his hand, but suddenly clenched his fist.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu saw a blacksmith¡¯s shop on the street on the left, and immediately walked over happily.


    ¡°Boss?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked. This blacksmith¡¯s shop is not big, and there is only one person in it, a strong and strong man.


    The man was blacksmithing, he raised his head when he heard the words, and said enthusiastically, ¡°Whatever you want to buy, girl, just look around, it¡¯s all cheap.¡±


    ¡°I want to order a pot, can you do it here?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°What pot, let me tell you, girl.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu told the man what the pot looked like, and the man frowned after listening, ¡°It¡¯s a bit troublesome.¡±


    This pot is not big, but it has to make semicircular grooves the size of plums, which have to be polished one by one by hand. If you are not careful, it may be broken, which is not a trouble.


    Jiang Yunzhu also knew that it was not easy to make, so she settled for the next best thing, ¡°You can also make a few less grooves for each pot, and then make two more pots.¡±


    The man smiled, ¡°That¡¯s fine.¡±


    ¡°Can you hurry up?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked, she was afraid that if it was too late, those octopuses would be sold out.


    Of course you can, just add money.


    The addition was not too much, and Jiang Yunzhu agreed without thinking about it.


    The two discussed the price and delivery time, and Jiang Yunzhu turned and left.


    Then it¡¯s time to buy milk.


    This is a matter of luck, and it depends on whether there are any cows in the place where the livestock are sold that happen to have calves.


    Jiang Yunzhu was very lucky today, and happened to meet a guy who wanted to sell a calf, and the big cow was right next to him.


    But the seller was negotiating with the buyer, so she waited.


    In the end, the deal was not negotiated, and the buyer thought the calf was too small. Of course, the main reason is that the price did not agree.


    ¡°Miss, you?¡± The man who sold the cow asked Jiang Yunzhu hesitantly. He didn¡¯t think Jiang Yunzhu wanted to buy a cow.


    Jiang Yunzhu said her thoughts, she wanted to buy milk.


    ¡°This¡­¡± The man is from the village below, I have never heard that this milk can be sold.


    ¡°I¡¯m the owner of a restaurant in the county, and I want to get some milk to research new dishes.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    When she said this, the cattle seller understood a little bit.


    In the end, the two negotiated the price, and the cow seller sent her the milk to Qishanju every day.


    The cow was not sold, but the milk was sold. The man who sold the cow couldn¡¯t laugh or cry.


    But the price Jiang Yunzhu gave was really good, who has a grudge against money!


    The next morning, Jiang Yunzhu received half a bucket of milk.


    ¡°There are only so many. According to what you said, they are all newly crowded in the morning.¡± The man selling cattle said.


    Jiang Yunzhu shook the small bucket, and it turned out to be fresh milk. She was so happy that she gave the money immediately.


    The man took the money and looked at it again and again, only to be sure that the milk was really sold for money, and left happily.


    What to do with milk? Milk tea, early in the morning, is not suitable, besides, Jiang Yunzhu thinks that after the octopus **** are ready, they should be served with milk tea!


    So now¡­ She suddenly thought of something, which was just right for breakfast.


    She was going to carry the bucket to the kitchen, but at this moment, one hand picked up the bucket, ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡± It was Shen Fengming.


    ¡°Let me do it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, and as she spoke, she reached out to grab the bucket.


    Shen Fengming looked at her with the bucket in his hand.


    Jiang Yunzhu inexplicably thought of catching the rabbit that time, and she caught his hand, so she stopped in mid-air.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, you have always been so polite to me.¡± Shen Fengming said suddenly.


    Jiang Yunzhu was stunned, are you polite? Maybe, when she thought of his identity, she couldn¡¯t help but want to distance herself.


    ¡°You take care of me, but I don¡¯t know how to repay you.¡±


    ¡°Yes, there is no need to repay.¡±


    ¡°But I want to repay you.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu raised her head and looked at Shen Fengming, his eyes were as deep as the sea.


    ¡°Whatever you want, or what you want me to do, as long as I can do it, it¡¯s fine.¡± Shen Fengming said word by word.


    Then every word, like waves rushing towards Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Yunzhu jumped up anxiously, is it okay? What does she want, or let him do anything?


    She just looked at him like that, forgetting to look away.


    The eyes of the two were intertwined, Shen Fengming suddenly took a step forward, and a tall figure enveloped Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to take a step back, but found that there was a wall behind him.


    She felt a little short of breath, in order to ease the situation, she turned her head away, revealing a long fair and slender neck.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes were immediately attracted by that whiteness. He has killed countless people, knowing how fragile that delicate place is, but he doesn¡¯t know that that place can be so soft and beautiful.


    ¡°Sister, are you in the shop?¡± Jiang Yunxue¡¯s voice.


    Not all Jiang¡¯s family lives in the county now. Jiang Cheng has to drag his feet, opening and closing the city gate every day affects his business, so he lives in the village. Mr. Chen felt that the houses in the village were spacious, so he also lived in the village.


    Mrs. Chen lives in the county seat, but she is worried about Jiang Cheng, Mr. Chen, and some family matters, so she is sometimes in the county seat and sometimes at home.


    Xue Jing came yesterday, the shop was not so busy, she went back to the village, so only Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Lin, and Shen Fengming were left at home.


    Jiang Yunxue got up and wanted to ask Jiang Yunzhu what breakfast she made in the morning, but she couldn¡¯t find anyone, so she stood in the yard and called.


    ¡°Here!¡± Jiang Yunzhu returned, turned and walked towards the backyard.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, what I said just now is serious.¡± Behind him, Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart jumped again, he was serious! The weight of his words is not insignificant.


    Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, gold, real estate¡­


    But slowly, she also calmed down. In fact, she really didn¡¯t do anything, she just took care of him for a few days. Although people said that, if she made excessive demands¡­


    Forget it, she has opened a restaurant now, and if she works harder, she will soon live the life she wants.


    Thinking of this, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart returned to calm, and a smile appeared on her face again.


    People¡¯s hearts are not enough to swallow an elephant, so dangerous, so dangerous!


    ¡°Sister, what do we have for breakfast? I¡¯ll help you.¡± Jiang Yunxue said.


    ¡°Eat¡­¡± Jiang Yunzhu remembered that her bucket was still with Shen Fengming.


    At this time, Shen Fengming came out carrying a bucket, ¡°Miss Jiang.¡± He said.


    ¡°You put it in the kitchen for me?¡± Jiang Yunzhu thought, maybe if Shen Fengming could do some work, he wouldn¡¯t feel indebted to her.


    ¡°En.¡± Shen Fengming agreed, and put the bucket in the kitchen.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Jiang Yunxue looked at the contents in the bucket curiously. It was white and seemed to have some fishy smell, a bit like¡­


    ¡°Milk.¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled.


    ¡°Milk.¡± Jiang Yunxue opened her eyes wide. Isn¡¯t this stuff eaten by calves?


    ¡°You¡¯ll find out later,¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Sister, are you going to cook delicious food?¡± Jiang Lin came to the kitchen at some point and asked Jiang Yunzhu excitedly.


    ¡°Go and wash your face, and then help me light the fire.¡± Jiang Yunzhu only said.


    ¡°Okay!¡± Jiang Lin ran away in a hurry, came back quickly, and lit the stove.


    Jiang Yunxue also helped, and after a while, Jiang Wu also came, and the kitchen immediately became lively.


    He took some milk and poured it into the pot, and while it was cooking, Jiang Yunzhu rummaged in the cabinet, and sure enough, he found the red beans left over from yesterday¡¯s cooking. These red beans are cooked, so that¡¯s easy now.


    Pour the starch and glutinous rice flour into the water in a certain proportion, and stir well.


    Prepare another iron plate and brush a layer of cooking oil inside.


    At this time, the milk starts to bubble, slowly pour the starch glutinous rice water into the milk, keep stirring and add sugar.


    The milk is getting thicker. At this time, add the red beans.


    After stirring for a while, I felt that it was almost done, so I poured the milk into the iron plate and put it outside to cool.


    The weather is still very cold now, and within a short while, the things in the iron pan condensed into milky white lumps.


    Take this thing out of the iron plate, cut it into small pieces with a knife, put it on the plate, and a plate of milk red bean cake is ready.


    The color of the finished product is milky white, with red beans looming underneath.


    ¡°Try it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Jiang Lin and the others couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, since the white sugar was added, this thing exudes a sweet smell, which makes the mouth water.


    But they still said, ¡°Sister, you can eat too.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu made it, so Jiang Yunzhu should eat it first.


    Jiang Yunzhu picked up the chopsticks, but saw that Shen Fengming was still there, so she asked, ¡°Mr. Shen, do you want to try it?¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu paused, and handed him the cake in his hand.


    Shen Fengming washed his hands, caught it with his hand, and put it in his mouth.


    ¡°How?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked, she knew that some nobles in the Xia Dynasty actually used milk for food, so this milk red bean cake might not be unusual to Shen Fengming.


    ¡°It¡¯s a little sweet, delicious.¡± Shen Fengming said, and then put the remaining half of the cake into his mouth, his eyes streaming.


    ¡°It¡¯s delicious, sister, eat it quickly.¡± Jiang Wu held up a cake and said to Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°You can eat, there are more here.¡± Jiang Yunzhu put another piece of cake in his mouth, because sugar was added and it was cooked again, this cake has no fishy smell at all, and there is a faint milky fragrance left, which is paired with the red bean The sweet fragrance is really delicious.


    And the taste of this cake is also good, delicate and soft.


    She decided to add this dish to the menu at noon, it would be a hit.

 Chapter 60

    At this moment, someone outside suddenly asked, ¡°Miss Jiang, are you there?¡± It was Xie Chen¡¯s voice.


    Why is he here at this time, ¡°Here!¡± Jiang Yunzhu put down the cake and went to the front.


    Xie Chen is still in the old green robe, but behind him, there is a petite girl who is carefully looking around with a pair of beautiful eyes.


    Jiang Yunzhu had a guess in her mind, she inquired about Baofulou, and by the way also inquired about Xie Chen.


    The three-year-old mother gave birth to a younger sister and ran away with others. The father beat and scolded the brothers and sisters. The neighbors couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, and often secretly fed them, so that they grew up slowly.


    No wonder Xie Chen has such a flamboyant appearance, but he frowns every day, full of preoccupations.


    She also understood why Xie Chen wanted his sister to work in the store, but was hesitant again. He wanted her sister to leave that house, but he was afraid that she would have to work hard! After all, according to him, in April, he will bring his sister to Beijing.


    ¡°Yunxue, go and get a plate of cakes from behind.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said to Jiang Yunxue.


    Jiang Yunxue agreed, and brought a plate of milk red bean cake from behind.


    Jiang Yunzhu asked Xie Chen to sit with the girl behind him, and then put the plate of cakes in front of them, ¡°It¡¯s a coincidence that you guys came here, I just made a cake, try it.¡±


    Xie Chen¡¯s eyes fell on the plate of cake, which was crystal clear and milky white, exuding bursts of sweet fragrance.


    He hadn¡¯t eaten in the morning, smelling the smell of this cake, he felt even more hungry, but he still looked away and said, ¡°Thank you, Miss Jiang.¡± But he didn¡¯t intend to eat that cake.


    Jiang Yunzhu picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Xie Lian, ¡°Eat it, your brother has helped me a lot!¡± She said that Xie Chen helped her with the accounting.


    Xie Lian pursed her lips and looked at Xie Chen.


    Xie Chen felt sour in his heart, he didn¡¯t need to eat it, but his sister¡­ ¡°Miss Jiang gave it to you, you can eat it.¡± He said softly.


    Xie Lian¡¯s eyes lit up immediately, she took the cake, wanted to eat it, but suddenly remembered something, and handed it to Xie Chen.


    ¡°You can eat.¡± Xie Chen said.


    Xie Lian shook her head.


    Thank you very much.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a plate of cake.¡± Jiang Yunzhu pushed the plate of cake towards Xie Chen again.


    Xie Chen blushed slightly, ¡°Thank you Miss Jiang.¡± He said.


    ¡°Not so polite.¡±


    Xie Chen then took a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. It was soft and sweet, with a milky aroma.


    He just felt that he had never eaten such a delicious cake.


    Seeing him eating, Xie Lian also put the cake into her mouth. Immediately, she rolled her eyes, this cake is really sweet, it seems sweet to people¡¯s heart.


    Jiang Yunzhu was not in a hurry, and poured them two cups of hot water and asked them to eat cakes.


    Xie Chen ate another two pieces, even the tips of his ears turned red, so he stopped eating.


    Xie Lian couldn¡¯t help but ate several yuan, and then stopped after taking a sip of water.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at Xie Chen.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, can I have a chat with you alone.¡± Xie Chen said.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu stood up.


    The two went outside.


    Xie Chen looked at Xie Lian in the room and said, ¡°Miss Jiang, are you hiring a handyman? That¡¯s my sister. I want her to work in your shop, not for money.


    Her wages can be paid out of the money I accounted for. Or, if she doesn¡¯t do well, you can tell me, and I will help him. She can¡¯t speak¡­ Don¡¯t worry, she is very sensible. ¡°


    Xie Chen spoke urgently and quickly. He didn¡¯t want Xie Lian to come to Jiang Yunzhu to make money, just like Jiang Yunzhu guessed, he wanted Xie Lian to leave that house.


    Yesterday when he came home, he found that Xie Yong was scolding Xie Lian again. She was standing there tremblingly, and he was very worried that she couldn¡¯t last long enough for him to take her away.


    Xie Chen¡¯s words are very sincere. Hiring Xie Lian to work without paying wages, or does he help Xie Lian? If it were a black-hearted boss, he would probably be insane.


    Of course, if it was a boss with bad moral character, Xie Chen would not bring Xie Lian here either. He just thought that Jiang Yunzhu was a nice person and a girl, so he wanted to put Xie Lian in the store.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, but she didn¡¯t agree or refuse, ¡°Well, let her try with us for three days, and then we can talk.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Miss Jiang.¡± Xie Chen said gratefully.


    The two returned to the store, Xie Chen whispered to Xie Lian for a while, Xie Lian nodded, then bent down to salute Jiang Yunzhu. She will definitely work hard so that her brother can study with peace of mind.


    Xie Chen also saluted Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled.


    ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up tonight.¡± Xie Chen said to Xie Lian.


    Xie Lian nodded, Xie Chen was reluctant to leave.


    Only Xie Lian was left, and Jiang Yunzhu pushed the half plate of milk red bean cake to her, ¡°Eat it, you will have the strength to do things when you are full.¡±


    Xie Lian stopped eating and looked around, looking for work.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I haven¡¯t started working yet.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Xie Lian looked into the kitchen, where the pot seemed to have not been cleaned yet. She looked at Jiang Yunzhu inquiringly.


    Well, Jiang Yunzhu hasn¡¯t had time to brush yet.


    Xie Lian went to the kitchen to wash the pots and dishes. Although she is petite, she has been doing these things since she was a child, and she does them very well.


    Well, Jiang Yunzhu felt that he had really hired a good employee.


    She went back to the kitchen, took the milk red bean cake and continued to eat.


    After eating, she was about to go back to the house to rest for a while, when Mrs. Chen came, followed by a man. The man looked about in his twenties, and he looked fairly straight, but his eyes were a little wandering.


    Chen¡¯s eye circles were a little red, as if she had just cried.


    She came in and saw Jiang Yunzhu, pulled her aside, and said to her, ¡°Yunzhu, we don¡¯t want to hire a waiter in our store, what do you think of this guy?¡±


    ¡°Mother, where did you meet him?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°Wang Tian¡¯s mother went to the gate of the county seat. He had no money to bury him, so he sold himself to bury his mother there. I heard from him that he had worked as a waiter before, so I brought him back to try it out.¡± Chen said, she stayed at the house last night. In the village, I came to the county seat this morning and happened to pass by the city gate and saw it.


    It turned out that this young man was called Wang Tian, and he sold his body to bury his mother. This era is very particular about funeral affairs. When a loved one passes away, not to mention a grand burial, he also needs to get a coffin and find a piece of land for a good burial.


    Of the two, the former requires money, and the latter is easy to handle if the family has land, otherwise it also requires a lot of money.


    So there really is such a thing as selling one¡¯s body to bury one¡¯s mother.


    But in Wuling County, it seemed a little strange again. Jiang Yunzhu remembered that when Jiang Cheng went to the mine, he could advance one month¡¯s wages in advance. And looking at Wang Tian¡¯s delicate skin and tender flesh, he doesn¡¯t look like he was used to doing jobs since he was a child.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go talk to him.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Chen agreed. Everything in the store is in the hands of Jiang Yunzhu, even if she pities Wang Tian, she can¡¯t help it. She went to the back kitchen.


    When Jiang Yunzhu came to the store, Wang Tian was standing there quietly looking at the storefront.


    ¡°Sit.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Wang Tian waited for Jiang Yunzhu to sit down before sitting down.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what my mother told you, but our store is looking for a waiter. I heard you did it before?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve done it before.¡± Wang Tian said, ¡°I¡¯m used to it.¡±


    ¡°Which company did you do it?¡±


    ¡°Yueda Restaurant.¡±


    Oh, the restaurant that had rat heads in that dish and then closed down.


    ¡°Did you put the mouse head in that dish?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked casually.


    Wang Tian¡¯s expression was extremely exciting, but he quickly realized, stood up and said angrily, ¡°How could you wrong me so much, I was sick a few days ago, and I was not in the store at all, if you don¡¯t believe me, go ask those guys.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled. Generally, when the guy in the shop was asked this question, if he didn¡¯t do it, how would he react?


    He definitely didn¡¯t defend himself immediately, but felt that there was something wrong with her head, so she suddenly asked him such a question.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the way he was hopping, and said calmly, ¡°Man is doing it, and the sky is watching. I don¡¯t know if your mother has really gone. If not, when I hear that you are going to sell yourself to bury her, I don¡¯t know whether to praise you for your filial piety or not.¡± ¡­¡±


    Wang Tian¡¯s real name is Song Lin, and he is the eldest son of Song¡¯s second son. Four years ago, he was indeed the one who put the mouse heads in the food of Yueda Restaurant. Repeat.


    Who would have thought¡­Song Lin¡¯s mother is of course alive and well, thinking that if his mother heard about this¡­


    Song Lin¡¯s face turned pale, embarrassment and embarrassment, he didn¡¯t expect Jiang Yunzhu to see him right away.


    Two streets away, Shopkeeper Song and Song Lao Er were waiting there.


    At this moment, Song Lin came over, and the two immediately gathered around and asked, ¡°How is it? Is it done?¡±


    ¡°What a fart!¡± Song Lin poured out his anger on the two of them, ¡°Are you two my uncle and my father? Curse my mother to death and make me do such immoral things. It¡¯s all right now People see through!


    The two of you hid behind, pretended to be good, and let me embarrass me. I don¡¯t think you have any good intentions.


    Uncle, do you just hope that I will be put in prison, otherwise why don¡¯t you let your son go? Your son is not too young, and he eats idle meals at home all day long.


    Dad, why did you believe him? Let us do bad things every time, he picks up ready-made, I don¡¯t think he is a good guy.


    One day, by the way, we are also sent to prison, and he will monopolize the restaurant, so he will be happy! ¡°


    Song Linkou didn¡¯t hesitate to say anything, and even expressed the expectations of Shopkeeper Song.


    Song Laoer¡¯s face changed color, looked at shopkeeper Song, and felt that Song Lin¡¯s words made sense.


    ¡°Brother, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so vicious.¡± Second Song said angrily to Shopkeeper Song.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t mean that.¡± Shopkeeper Song said quickly.


    ¡°Then give me half of the restaurant.¡± Song Laoer said.


    ¡°There is only one restaurant, how do we divide it?¡± Shopkeeper Song asked angrily.


    ¡°Just sell it for a penny,¡± Song Laoer said.


    Shopkeeper Song was really mad at him. A hen that can lay golden eggs, he actually wanted to sell the hen for money? The point is, Song Lin was still helping, thinking it was a good idea.


    The three of them got into a mess, and in the end Shopkeeper Song gave them money, and they left.


    Shopkeeper Song stood there with his temples throbbing. That¡¯s why he said that stealing chickens won¡¯t make money.


    Jiang Yunzhu naturally didn¡¯t know what was going on with them, she only knew that Baofulou had really attacked Qishanju, it seemed that she had to be more cautious in the future.


    Just as she was thinking, another person came outside.


    ¡°Excuse me, are you recruiting here?¡± It was a young man with an old woman on his back, followed by a woman.


    The three of them looked extremely embarrassed, their clothes were in tatters, and their faces were all disheveled.


    But the man¡¯s eyes are very bright, with a sense of tenacity.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°Changfeng mansion escaped. Since last year, there has only been a light snowfall in Changfeng mansion, which didn¡¯t even cover the land. Seeing that spring is about to begin, there is no sign of rain at all. We can¡¯t hold on, so we run away Come out.¡± The man explained.


    Then he said, ¡°Girl, we don¡¯t need much wages, as long as we have a stutter and a place to live.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu saw his hands, which were definitely hands that had worked for a long time.


    ¡°I want to recruit the waiter and the handyman.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t run out of class, but I can learn. I beg the girl to give me a chance. I can still read some words.¡± The man said with burning eyes.


    This guy in the waiter really doesn¡¯t have much technical content.


    Jiang Yunzhu had a good impression of him, ¡°Come in first.¡± Then she said to Chen Shi, ¡°Mother, is there anything else to eat in the kitchen, bring them some.¡±


    Mrs. Chen also heard the man say that they escaped from the disaster in Changfeng Mansion, and thought of many things at once. Hearing what Jiang Yunzhu said, he immediately said, ¡°Let me cook some noodles for them!¡±


    ¡°No, no.¡± The man hurriedly said, and then stood at the door, looking very cautious.


    He saw that the store was spotless, and the three of them, like beggars, dared to enter the store.


    ¡°Come in, it¡¯s okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Then the man entered the store carefully, put the old woman on the seat beside him, and refused to sit down even if he said nothing.


    Jiang Yunzhu asked about the three of them.


    The man¡¯s name is Li He, the old woman next to him is his mother, and the woman behind him is his daughter-in-law Huang. They were originally from Lincang County, Changfeng Prefecture. Their family had a few acres of Susukida, and they made a living by farming. They were not rich, but they could eat enough.


    However, in the past two years, Changfeng Mansion has suffered severe drought, and the land has been desolate for thousands of miles. They sold everything, and it is still difficult to make ends meet.


    No way, they can only come out to escape famine.


    The reason why Li He could read was because he learned it from the fortune teller in the village when he was free. He learned two words a day, and he gradually learned a lot of characters.


    ¡°Is there really going to be another drought in Changfeng Mansion this year?¡± Mrs. Chen came out with three bowls of noodles, just in time to hear Li He¡¯s words, and asked in surprise.


    At the beginning they were afraid of such a situation, so they escaped from Changfeng Mansion ahead of time. Now that they heard the news, Mrs. Chen was very lucky, but also had an indescribable feeling.


    Li He nodded, ¡°It should be.¡±


    Chen was stunned.


    Jiang Yunzhu pushed the three bowls of noodles in front of Li He and the others, ¡°Eat it quickly!¡±


    Li He and the others haven¡¯t eaten anything decent for two days, and now they can¡¯t help swallowing when they see the steaming hot noodles, but¡­


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°Actually, our family also escaped from the Changfeng Mansion, which probably happened last year.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Li He couldn¡¯t believe it.


    Since he escaped from famine, life must be difficult, but Jiang Yunzhu actually opened such a good restaurant in the county, what?


    ¡°Really.¡± Chen replied. I think when they came to Wuling County, they were not much better than Li He and the others.


    Thanks to Jiang Yunzhu.


    With this extra layer of relationship, Li He¡¯s family became less restrained, and began to gobble up the noodle bowl.


    A large bowl of noodles was quickly finished, and the faces of the three of them were a little bloody.


    ¡°Girl, I can really learn. I can learn things quite quickly. Otherwise, you can let me try for a few days. If it doesn¡¯t work, you can drive me away.¡± Li He kept this matter in mind, put down the bowl, sincerely He said to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu thinks he is really good, at least he is self-motivated. For example, he can read and write. Ordinary farmers are already very tired after finishing their work every day. Who would want to learn two words from a fortune teller.


    And he not only learned, but also persisted.


    ¡°The running hall is indeed the best at reading and writing. Okay, you can stay and try for a few days. Okay, I¡¯ll keep you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    When Li He heard this, he almost wept with joy. They had no money on them now, and almost collapsed on the street from starvation immediately. Jiang Yunzhu hired him at this time, which was tantamount to giving him a way out.


    ¡°Thank you girl, thank you.¡± Li He kept thanking.


    At this time, his wife Huang suddenly pulled him.


    Then Li He remembered, and said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Girl, you just said that you also recruit handymen here, are handymen limited to men and women?¡±


    Generally, when recruiting people, they like to recruit men, so he asked this question.


    Jiang Yunzhu already understood what he meant, ¡°No limit.¡±


    ¡°Then my wife¡­¡±


    ¡°You can try to work for three days, and after three days we can discuss whether to stay or not.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, miss.¡± ¡°Thank you, miss.¡± This time even Mrs. Li stood up, and the whole family thanked Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu waved his hand. A waiter, a handyman, and Xie Lian were recruited at once, and they were almost recruited.


    Jiang Yunzhu went outside and tore off the recruitment notice. She decided to do this first and not recruit anyone.


    Li He¡¯s words gave her a sense of crisis. Changfeng Mansion will suffer a severe drought this year, and many refugees will flock to Luzhou. She should not expand blindly now. What¡¯s more, Baofulou doesn¡¯t know what will happen.


    The three of Li He can eat in the store, but live in¡­


    In fact, there is still a house in the backyard of the restaurant, but Jiang Yunzhu doesn¡¯t want them to live here. She changed her mind slightly and had an idea. She plans to rent another house in the county town, one is to store all kinds of things in the restaurant, such as hairtail fish and octopus, and two, so that Li He¡¯s family can live there first.


    Third, and most importantly, she wanted to buy a batch of food for storage, so she didn¡¯t panic when she had food in hand.


    Immediately doing what he said, Jiang Yunzhu went to the tooth shop immediately, and soon rented a yard only one street away from Qishanju.


    The yard is not too big, but there is a big cellar. Jiang Yunzhu took a fancy to this and rented this house.


    Ask Jiang Cheng to put all the remaining fish at home into the cellar, so that these fish can be stored for a little longer.


    Then Jiang Yunzhu bought three clothes for the three of Li He. At least Li He and Huang¡¯s can¡¯t come to work in the store wearing the tattered clothes they are wearing, so let¡¯s use them as work clothes for the employees!


    The three were grateful and said that they had met a good man.


    Li He and Huang Shi cleaned up and put on new clothes. Maybe people depend on their clothes and horses, or maybe they are refreshed on happy occasions. The two immediately changed their appearance. Li He looked very energetic, and Huang Shi It also looks neat and clean.


    The two immediately went to Qishanju to work, and secretly vowed that they would work hard to repay Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s kindness and find a good way out for themselves.


    As for Jiang Yunzhu, she went to the rice and grain store, and went to three rice and grain stores in a row. She bought three batches of grain, shipped one batch to her home in Changshi Village, one batch was placed in the backyard of Qishanju, and the last batch was placed in the newly rented house. in the cellar.


    She knows that all eggs cannot be put in one basket.


    After finishing this matter, she felt a little relieved.


    Back at Qishanju, seeing that it was lunch time, Jiang Yunzhu called everyone in the store together and introduced them to each other.


    There are three more people in the restaurant, Xue Jing is very happy, this means that the restaurant will become bigger!


    He feels that sooner or later, their Qishanju will surpass Baofulou and become the best restaurant in Wuling County.


    No, why stick to Wuling County? He felt that with Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s craftsmanship, it would be no problem to go to Luzhou.


    Go to Luzhou to open a big restaurant, so that he can follow him to Luzhou, when his master sees him, his jaw will probably drop in shock!


    Xue Jing didn¡¯t know where he thought of, he just felt happy.


    Li He and Huang¡¯s faces were also full of joy, the people in Qishanju are very kind, they are really lucky to stay here.


    Xie Lian was a little nervous, she hung her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes with her hands, she was afraid that she would not do well, and Jiang Yunzhu would not want her anymore.


    ¡°Okay, there are guests here, everyone go to work!¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Everyone dispersed, Li He went to the front, Huang Shi and Xie Lian went to the kitchen, Xue Jing was cooking, everyone was very busy.


    Jiang Yunzhu made her milk red bean cake. At the same time, she also made a snack, **** bump milk. In such cold weather, isn¡¯t it suitable to eat a bowl of this kind of thing to keep out the cold?


    At this time, a girl entered the store. After entering the store, she looked around and sat at a window.


    Jiang Yunzhu happened to come to the front to pick up something, saw her and smiled, isn¡¯t this Qin Yao.


    It was indeed Qin Yao. She had actually wanted to come to Qishanju for a long time, but she still remembered the rejection by Jiang Yunzhu last time, so she resisted not coming.


    After so many days, she felt that Jiang Yunzhu should have forgotten her, so she came in to have a look.


    ¡°Girl, what do you want to eat?¡± Li He asked with a smile, it¡¯s really not difficult to run the hall, at least he is doing decently now.


    Qin Yao ordered two dishes at random, and suddenly saw a new dish of the day ¡°milk red bean cake¡± on the wall. It sounded delicious, so she ordered one.


    At this time, there were a few girls sitting at the table next to her, and they also ordered milk red bean cake.


    When the cake was served, it was fragrant with milk, sweet but not greasy, and it was really delicious.


    ¡°This cake must have been made by the owner of the shop. ¡®Rub the hands together to find the jade, and fry it in green oil to make a deep yellow¡¯. Only a person like the owner of the shop can make such a good cake. Like the ones on the street, they are all Vulgar things, things made naturally are also vulgar.¡± A girl with an oval face praised.


    ¡°No, looking at this store, you know that we are here today. Sister Ye, thank you for bringing us to such a good place today.¡± A girl with a round face said to a girl sitting in the middle.


    The girl smiled, ¡°We usually don¡¯t have a place to eat and play, but it¡¯s better now.¡±


    ¡°Exactly.¡± The girls smiled and nodded.


    At this time, someone said, ¡°That¡¯s all, this cake is just ordinary milk cake. I¡¯ve eaten it many times in Luzhou.¡± It was a girl in blue who spoke.


    As soon as she said this, the girls stopped laughing, knowing that her family has relatives in Luzhou, so there is no need to talk about it every day, as if no one has ever been to Luzhou.


    The girl in blue wanted to say something more, but suddenly, several girls looked towards the back door of the shop, and she also looked up.


    When the man left, the girls got together again, ¡°Who was that young master just now?¡± the round-faced girl asked with a reddish face.


    The others also raised their ears. The young man just now was really too handsome, especially the special temperament on his body, which made people dare not look at him, and couldn¡¯t help but be moved.


    The girl sitting in the middle smiled, ¡°I don¡¯t know, I just heard that it¡¯s a young master from the capital who rented the store.¡±


    The girls had different thoughts, but what they saw was naturally Shen Fengming.

 Chapter 61

    At this moment, Shen Fengming happened to come out from behind.


    The girls suddenly regained their spirits. Out of reserve, they didn¡¯t look at him, but occasionally glanced at him.


    The girl in blue is surnamed Cao, she is very good-looking, and her family is one of the richest in Wuling County.


    She also saw Shen Fengming, and she felt heartbroken. She had also seen many men, but none of them were as outstanding as him.


    Seeing that the other girls were all blushing, but none of them dared to talk to Shen Fengming, she suddenly stood up and said to Shen Fengming, ¡°Young master.¡±


    Shen Fengming looked at her with deep eyes.


    Seeing him like this, Ms. Cao felt as if she was in a vast ocean, and she forgot to say the words when she came to her mouth, and her mind went blank.


    ¡°My family has a courtyard in the west of the county seat. If you don¡¯t mind my son, you can live there!¡± After Miss Cao finished speaking, she blushed. She thought so in her heart, but she didn¡¯t want to say it so soon.


    What she thought was, first ask Shen Fengming¡¯s surname and the purpose of coming to Wuling County, maybe she can help, and then after the two get acquainted, she can make this suggestion.


    After all, seeing that this young man has such an extraordinary temperament, he must not be an ordinary person. Living in a restaurant, he is too wronged.


    Who would have thought that as soon as she met his gaze, she would be confused and ask this question directly.


    Miss Ye and the others next to her were also stunned. Miss Cao is so bold? They didn¡¯t dare to blink their eyes, they were both amazed and curious about how Shen Fengming would respond.


    If he agrees¡­ the hearts of the girls are tumbling, their family also has another courtyard, and Shen Fengming can also live there.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes suddenly became cold, with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead object.


    This is his usual look when adjudicating cases. With his look, even the old foxes in the court who have been in the officialdom for many years can¡¯t stand it sometimes, as if he has seen everything through, and the next moment will be irreversible. Cao Cao Girl, a young girl can¡¯t stand it.


    She bit her lip, her face was pale, and her body was crumbling.


    ¡°I¡­you¡­not.¡± She wanted to explain a few words, she didn¡¯t want to offend him, she just wanted to understand him and help him¡­


    But she couldn¡¯t even utter a complete sentence, and her eyes turned red immediately.


    Although the girls behind her were not targeted by Shen Fengming, they all felt chills all over, and even unconsciously slowed down their breathing.


    The air seemed to condense together.


    At this time, a soft voice said, ¡°Master Shen, can you help me buy some candy?¡±


    It was Jiang Yunzhu, she came in to get the bill, and saw Shen Fengming confronting some girls, no, it should be said that the girls were all frightened by him, so they opened their mouths quickly.


    She decided to ask Shen Fengming to help with some work in the morning, so that he would not say anything in return. She actually asked him to help a few times in the middle, and Shen Fengming did it, so it was not too big for her to ask him to help buy candy. burden.


    Originally, when she was making milk red bean cake, she also ran out of sugar, and was about to buy it!


    Like a gust of spring breeze blowing through the vast expanse, the condensed air melted in an instant, Shen Fengming looked at Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Yeah.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu gave him a string of money.


    Shen Fengming took the money and walked out.


    The girls next to him let out a sigh of relief, with complicated expressions on their faces.


    Jiang Yunzhu was talking to Shen Fengming just now, and the two of them stood there like that, the girl had full eyebrows and soft eyes, and the man was handsome and cold, making people dare not look at them¡­ Who knew, but he really caught the string of money and went to buy candy , so that they have a feeling that is both real and dreamy.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Miss Cao stared at Jiang Yunzhu, then suddenly covered her face with a handkerchief, and ran away crying.


    Jiang Yunzhu: ¡­No, she thought she was helping her!


    What, did she get it wrong?


    ¡°Boss Jiang.¡± Miss Ye knew Jiang Yunzhu and greeted her.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at her questioningly, just now?


    ¡°We were the ones who were abrupt.¡± Miss Ye said. No, Miss Cao suddenly said that kind of words, it was very inappropriate, and she left in shame in the end, she can only blame herself.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, as long as it¡¯s okay, ¡°I just made a snack, girls, do you want to try it?¡±


    ¡°What snack?¡± the round-faced girl asked curiously.


    ¡°Ginger hits milk.¡±


    ¡°Listen, it¡¯s made with **** and milk.¡± The oval-faced girl licked her lips, ¡°Give us a taste.¡± The milk red bean cake just now is delicious.


    Jiang Yunzhu immediately brought some **** milk. This thing is actually very easy to make, filter to get fresh **** juice, heat it slightly, then heat the milk to a certain temperature, add sugar, and then quickly pour the milk into the **** juice.


    The collision of white milk and **** juice is the origin of the word ¡°collision¡±.


    When milk meets **** juice, it will coagulate into a milky white solid.


    Qishanju is very particular about the utensils used to store food. There is a white porcelain cup in the shape of a persimmon. When you open the lid, you can see the white jelly inside. It¡¯s pleasing to watch.


    Scoop up a piece with a white porcelain spoon, it is tender and fragrant.


    Put it in your mouth, the spiciness of **** juice blends perfectly with the sweetness, which makes this thing full of milky fragrance.


    Especially after eating it in the stomach, the body feels warm, as if the cold air of this winter has been dispelled.


    ¡°Delicious.¡± The round-faced girl praised.


    ¡°It¡¯s comfortable to eat.¡± The oval-faced girl said.


    ¡°Can the elderly eat this food?¡± Miss Ye asked.


    ¡°Of course.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Miss Ye¡¯s eyes brightened slightly. Her grandmother was getting old and was very afraid of the cold every winter. She felt that if she ate a bowl of this every day, her health might be much better.


    ¡°Ginger juice can drive away the cold, and milk is a tonic. The combination of the two is very suitable for people with cold body or cough.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. It seems that in history, **** and milk was born because an old woman had a cough, and her daughter-in-law boiled **** juice for her, but she felt that it was too spicy to drink. Later, milk was added inadvertently, and this snack was born.


    Later, the old woman ate the **** milk, and her cough was cured, which shows its efficacy.


    As soon as she said this, the round-faced girl said, ¡°It¡¯s so good, boss, then give me another bowl.¡± It¡¯s delicious and good for your health, so of course you have to eat more.


    ¡°Boss, can you pack two copies for me to take away?¡± Miss Ye asked.


    ¡°Boss, I also want to pack two.¡± The oval-faced girl said, her father has been suffering from cough, if it is really like what Jiang Yunzhu said, this thing is good for cough.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled and agreed. It seems that there is still a market for this **** milk than milk red bean cake. Also, Wuling County is rich. After everyone has money, what is more important than a healthy body?


    Jiang Yunzhu decided to add this **** milk to the menu.


    Jiang Yunzhu was standing in the aisle talking to Ms. Ye and the others, and Qin Yao over there heard what they said clearly. Is **** bumping milk really that delicious? Why is it not on the menu. Was it specially made for those girls?


    Qin Yao wanted to ask, but didn¡¯t want to.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu turned to her and said, ¡°Girl, do you want some **** milk?¡±


    Qin Yao was shocked, Jiang Yunzhu wouldn¡¯t recognize her, right? Her face was reddish, but she pretended to be calm and steady and said, ¡°Have one.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu went to the back kitchen, brought her a portion of **** milk, and then left.


    Qin Yao took a bite, and it really tasted unique. At this time, the dishes she ordered were also served. Spicy beef tenderloin, this beef tenderloin is too tender and smooth, a hundred times better than their chef¡¯s.


    Stir-fried cabbage, she is used to good things, and she immediately noticed the difference in this dish.


    Unexpectedly, the owner of this restaurant has such craftsmanship, and looking at the layout of this mountain residence, Qin Yao¡¯s thoughts fluctuated for a while.


    After eating, she left a piece of silver and left without waiting for Li He to come over.


    Li He naturally saw her leave, but he visually judged that the piece of silver was more than enough to pay the bill, so he didn¡¯t stop her. After she left, he took the piece of silver and gave it to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t care, and she didn¡¯t want to make friends with Qin Yao deliberately, but because of the fate in her dream, she always saw her a little differently.


    In the evening, Qin Yao didn¡¯t come, but another person came.


    The one who entered the door ordered a table of dishes, such as Dongpo pork, dry-roasted fish, braised pork with preserved vegetables¡­ The store¡¯s special braised hairtail, spicy octopus also came, and finally a milk red bean cake.


    Li He waited for him to order, and began to listen to his report of the name of the dishes, and felt very happy that a big customer came. The more he listened, he said, ¡°This guest, how many of you are there?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just me, what¡¯s wrong?¡± the man raised his chin and asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t eat so much by yourself.¡± Li He asked doubtfully.


    ¡°You don¡¯t mind me, can¡¯t I try everything? I can take away the rest and save it for tomorrow. Why, you open a restaurant, are you afraid that the guests will eat too much?¡± the man squinted and said angrily.


    ¡°Of course not. Are you sure you want to order so many dishes?¡± Li He confirmed again.


    ¡°Sure, make it for me quickly, I¡¯m hungry here!¡±


    Li He took the list and walked back to show Jiang Yunzhu.


    A customer ordered so many dishes, mainly, Li He said, ¡°Boss, I don¡¯t think he looks rich in clothes.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the list and found it really strange.


    She went to the front to have a look, and saw a person sitting in the corner of the left wall. The person was dressed in brown clothes and pants, with eyebrows hanging and eyes sideways.


    Could it be that he came to eat the overlord¡¯s meal? Jiang Yunzhu returned the list to Li He and said, ¡°Let him pay first.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li He agreed to take the order, and came to the person outside, ¡°Guest officer, our shop is small and thin, you order so many dishes, please pay first!¡±


    The man became angry as soon as he heard it, ¡°Is there such a rule?¡±


    While wary of him, Li He said, ¡°We are also a small business. Besides, you pay first and pay later, isn¡¯t it the same?¡±


    ¡°How can it be the same? What if you don¡¯t cook well?¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re afraid that our cooking won¡¯t taste good, you can order a dish first.¡±


    ¡°How can you taste a dish?¡±


    Li He smiled and said nothing, there is an academy on this street, and the Yamen¡¯s catchers often stroll on this street, so he is not afraid of this guest causing trouble.


    When he was like this, the man seemed to have hit the cotton with his fist, and he really didn¡¯t know how to continue.


    Suddenly, he sat down and said, ¡°Let¡¯s try a Dongpo meat first.¡±


    Li He went to the back kitchen to talk to Jiang Yunzhu again.


    ¡°Give him a Dongpo pork.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, she wants to see what he wants to do.


    Dongpo meat was served quickly, and Jiang Yunzhu stood behind the counter, watching him.


    The man took a mouthful of Dongpo meat, with an intoxicated look on his face, and then he ate up the plate of Dongpo meat, leaving no soup left.


    Then he poured another large cup of hot water, then patted his stomach, stood up and walked out.


    ¡°Guest officer, forty-eight Wen.¡± Li He immediately stopped him.


    The man said, ¡°Deduct from my son or daughter¡¯s monthly silver.¡±


    That¡¯s right, this person is Xie Yong. He only found out in the afternoon that Xie Lian came to work in Qishanju. He had heard of Qishanju¡¯s name for a long time, but he didn¡¯t have the money to eat. Now he found an opportunity.


    ¡°Who is your son or daughter?¡± Li He didn¡¯t know, so he asked.


    ¡°My son¡¯s name is Xie Chen, who has studied, and my daughter¡¯s name is Xie Lian.¡± Xie Yong said.


    Li He looked at Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu understood, it turned out to be him! She walked over immediately, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Xie Lian is still on trial work, and there is no monthly payment. The money for thanking Chen will not be paid to him until the end of the month, so please pay the bill first.¡±


    Seeing that she was a girl, Xie Yong immediately felt contemptuous and said angrily, ¡°Then I can keep the account first.¡±


    ¡°This store does not keep accounts.¡±


    ¡°I see that you are sincerely embarrassing me. I have already told you that you are deducting from Xie Chen¡¯s wages, and you still refuse to let me go. Do you do business like this? Everyone¡­¡± He was about to yell.


    But Jiang Yunzhu said coldly, ¡°You are not the father who does this. How about it, call Xie Chen and Xie Lian, and if they agree to put the account in their names, I will let you go.¡±


    Xie Yong rolled his eyes twice, ¡°Okay, call them here.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait, Xie Chen should come later.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, she remembered that Xie Chen said in the morning that he would come to pick Xie Lian home in the evening. After finishing speaking, she ignored Xie Yong and went to the back.


    Xie Yong stood there, scoffed, and sat down. It is only right and proper for Lao Tzu to pay his debts to his son!


    As soon as Jiang Yunzhu arrived at the back, Mrs. Huang came over and said to her, ¡°Boss, go and see that girl.¡±


    who? Jiang Yunzhu soon found out that Xie Lian was hiding behind the water tank, like a dying animal, holding her head and shaking her body constantly.


    Jiang Yunzhu actually felt sorry for her, and she had always suspected that Qin Yao would become like that in her dream because of Xie Chen.


    Although Qin Yao doesn¡¯t know her now, she still remembers how kind she was to her, and she doesn¡¯t want to see her become like that again.


    What kind of experience does such a romantic and lively girl have to go through to become that sad-hearted look.


    It must be a deep pain.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, your brother will be here later.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said softly to Xie Lian.


    Hearing Xie Chen, Xie Lian¡¯s trembling became less severe.


    At Xushi, Xie Chen came to pick up Xie Lian, and saw Xie Yong as soon as he entered the door.


    The father and son quarreled almost without saying a word.


    Xie Lian started to tremble again, but she raised her head and looked into the store, eagerly looking for Xie Chen¡¯s figure.


    Finally, when she saw him, she felt much more at ease.


    ¡°Go, go see your brother.¡± Jiang Yunzhu stretched out his hand, this matter must be resolved.


    Xie Lian blinked and looked at her in panic.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled at her.


    Xie Lian looked at her for a while, and finally tentatively handed her a hand.


    Jiang Yunzhu held her hand and led her to the store.


    Xie Chen saw Jiang Yunzhu and Xie Lian behind her, and was so ashamed, ¡°Miss Jiang, I told him yesterday that I asked Xie Lian to go out to work, and he agreed. Who would have thought that he would run into the shop and cause trouble for you?¡± gone.¡±


    He pulled Xie Lian over, and the two saluted Jiang Yunzhu together.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t care, it was just a little thing.


    So what now? Xie Yong wants to put the account in the name of Xie Chen or Xie Lian.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at Xie Chen. He should know that if he agreed to this kind of thing for the first time, there would be a second time. Then she really had to consider whether to let the siblings stay.


    Of course, Xie Chen understands that the man in front of him can¡¯t be expected to find out his conscience at all. As long as he takes a step back, he will take a step closer, and finally push him into the abyss.


    ¡°I don¡¯t agree.¡± He gritted his teeth.


    ¡°What did you say?¡± Xie Yong made a gesture to hit him.


    Xie Chen looked at him with frowning eyebrows, clenched his hands into fists.


    Xie Yong really didn¡¯t dare to do anything, he looked at him angrily, and said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°It¡¯s only right and proper to pay the debt of the father!¡±


    If this is an ordinary boss who is afraid of getting into trouble, he will definitely agree to it. Anyway, the money deducted is from Xie Chen.


    In the past, there were also creditors who came to Xie¡¯s house, but in the end they all asked for money from Xie Chen, so Xie Chen worked so hard to make money, but still didn¡¯t have any money left.


    Xie Chen lowered his eyes, he knew that he and Xie Lian might both be driven away, and they wouldn¡¯t get a penny of wages.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care what your relationship is. If you eat my food, I will ask you for money.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. She is afraid of things, and she is not afraid of things.


    Xie Yong¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°You! I don¡¯t have any money. If you ask me, you won¡¯t even get a penny.¡±


    Xie Chen also looked at Jiang Yunzhu in surprise.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°Then you want to eat without paying?¡± She winked at Li He.


    Li He went out immediately and called the policemen who were patrolling the street over.


    When Xie Yong saw those fast arresters, he panicked, but he was still the same way, father¡¯s debts should be paid by sons.


    This time, without waiting for Xie Chen to say anything, Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°Xie Chen has no wages at all now, how can I pay?¡±


    The police quickly asked a few simple questions, and asked the whole story, such a trivial matter, not giving money, being locked up in prison, when will the family get the money, and when will he be released. That¡¯s generally how they handle it.


    After that, he didn¡¯t care what Xie Yong said, and directly locked him away.


    Xie Chen and Xie Lian were left. Xie Chen looked at Jiang Yunzhu, moved his lips twice, and finally pursed his lips to salute her. If he turned around, he would never forget her kindness today!

 Chapter 62

    Two days later, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s custom-made pot was ready, and she got up early in the morning to make octopus there, ready to make octopus balls.


    But it¡¯s cold, and although the ice lump was placed in the kitchen last night, it hasn¡¯t melted yet, so she made it a little difficult.


    She thought, or wait for the ice to melt before doing it.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡± Shen Fengming passed by the kitchen and saw that she was wrestling with a pile of ice, so he came in.


    ¡°Okay, be careful, don¡¯t splash on your body.¡± Jiang Yunzhu instructed. She no longer refuses Shen Fengming¡¯s help.


    Shen Fengming agreed, picked up a stick on one side, first knocked a few times to break the ice, then took a knife to scoop out the octopuses one by one and put them in the water. He moved quickly and neatly. Those octopuses were all intact, none of them had broken arms or legs.


    Jiang Yunzhu watched from the side, only finding it pleasing to the eye, thinking that if he learns cooking, he must be at the top level.


    After finishing the octopus, she started making the batter. The batter of octopus **** is modernly made with eggs and baking powder. The role of baking powder is to let the batter ferment quickly, so that the octopus **** made will be burnt on the outside and soft on the inside.


    At this time, there is no baking powder, and it is barely possible to use the method of fermentation, but it takes time, so make it in advance.


    Everything was ready, she washed her hands, and said to Shen Fengming, ¡°It will be delicious in a while.¡±


    ¡°En.¡± Shen Fengming looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. She often has some new ideas and is always full of expectations for life. By her side, everyone will be influenced by her unconsciously.


    Xue Jing, for example, now feels as if he has been pumped every day, either cooking or researching new dishes.


    Also like Li He and his wife, they are over and not as decadent as before.


    Like Xie Lian, the little girl can laugh now.


    More like¡­ Shen Fengming thought of himself, he didn¡¯t want to stay at home before, so he spent most of his time in the Zhenfu Department, investigating and handling cases, as if he was tireless. But now he seems to know that there are not only investigations in life, but there are many other things he can do.


    At that time, the batter was almost fermented, and Jiang Yunzhu started to make it. First, put a little oil in each semicircular groove, and then pour the batter into it. When the batter encounters the boiling hot oil, it immediately bubbles up.


    Pour the minced octopus and other things into the pot. At this time, the batter underneath has almost formed, so turn it over with a bamboo skewer, pour in the batter, and repeat.


    Soon, a pot of small meatballs was made successfully. It¡¯s a pity that there is no wooden fish flower here, but there is enough octopus in it, plus Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s secret sweet and spicy sauce, she thinks it should be right.


    ¡°Sister, what is this?¡± Jiang Lin asked while holding a book. Huo Mu today, he and Jiang Wu didn¡¯t go to school, his task today is to teach Jiang Yunxue to read. Just as he was teaching, he ran out when he smelled the smell of the kitchen.


    ¡°Octopus balls, try it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    At this time, Jiang Yunxue and Jiang Wu also came over. They impatiently took bamboo sticks, tied a ball and put it in their mouths.


    Very hot, just out of the pan, naturally hot. But none of the three were willing to spit out what was in their mouths.


    The burnt and crispy shell turns out to be soft inside after one bite.


    The umami flavor of the octopus fills the whole meatballs, and with the unique sweet and spicy sauce, Jiang Lin only regrets that he had eaten in the morning, otherwise he would have eaten two pots of meatballs in one go.


    Even so, he couldn¡¯t stop talking.


    At this time, Xie Lian and Xie Chen came.


    ¡°Try it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu also took a ball and ate it casually.


    Xie Lian is not so timid in front of Jiang Yunzhu now, she knows that when Jiang Yunzhu asked her to eat, she really gave her to eat.


    She took a bamboo stick and also tied a ball into her mouth. In an instant, her eyes lit up. These meatballs are really delicious, even better than the meatballs that the aunt next door gave her when she was hungry that year.


    Xie Chen also made a ball with a reddish complexion. It tasted delicious, crispy and delicious!


    But he only ate one, and then he talked about his reason for coming today. Today, he is here to help Xie Lian with his work.


    ¡°No need, she did a good job.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. The girl Xie Lian is really sensible, she rushes to do all kinds of work, she can really be called one of the top ten employees.


    Xie Chen made up his mind to stay in the shop and work for Jiang Yunzhu in order to repay her kindness.


    Not only did she let Xie Lian stay in the store, but she also gave Xie Lian delicious food. In the past two days, Xie Lian¡¯s face has obviously turned red, and she is also much more cheerful, which cannot be bought with money.


    Jiang Yunzhu had no choice but to leave it to him.


    At this time Li He came, carrying two buckets of milk in his hand. Since the launch of Jiang Zhuang Nai that day, it has become unexpectedly popular. Not only do people who come to the store order a copy, but some people come to the store specially to buy this to take away.


    That half bucket of milk every day is naturally not enough.


    Li He wandered around the market when he had nothing to do, and he found four houses with calves.


    ¡°Boss, it should be enough!¡± Li He put down the two buckets of milk and asked contentedly. With two barrels of milk, you can make a lot of **** milk and sell it for a lot of money.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at him apologetically, ¡°Maybe, not enough.¡± She was going to make milk tea together today.


    Li He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked out again. He couldn¡¯t believe that in such a big Wuling County, there were only four families that gave birth to calves.


    Jiang Yunzhu started to make milk tea. This is actually simpler. Fry rock sugar and tea leaves in a pot for a while until it smells burnt, then pour in milk and boiling water, and a cup of milk tea embryo is ready.


    Then add red beans, it is red bean milk tea.


    If you like orange flavor, you can add a little orange juice.


    It¡¯s a pity that there is no tapioca flour. Jiang Yunzhu felt that using sweet potato flour was almost meaningless, so she stopped making pearls.


    A few cups of red bean milk tea, a few cups of orange juice milk tea, just after eating octopus balls, a sip of milk tea, silky and fragrant, sweet but not greasy, I feel that life is instantly complete.


    The kitchen was quiet, and everyone was sipping milk tea, feeling the tranquility and beauty.


    When Shen Fengming came back, the kitchen had already started preparing lunch.


    He didn¡¯t care, he just searched for someone with his eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s for you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu handed him a small octopus ball and a cup of milk tea, and said that it was delicious in the morning, and he helped make the octopus, so he had to try it anyway.


    Shen Fengming took it over, as if there were stars in his eyes.


    After all, he is the son of a family, Shen Fengming eats, no matter how fast or slow he is, he is very graceful and calm.


    ¡°How is it?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked after he finished eating.


    ¡°Delicious.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    He said so, Jiang Yunzhu felt that the octopus **** and milk tea could also be sold.


    At noon, these two things were added to the menu.


    Ms. Ye and her friends are regular customers of Qishanju, and even because of her, more and more girls from the county come to Qishanju, and the running water in the store has increased a lot. This is something Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t expect when he opened the store.


    Today they came again and saw the new items, so naturally they wanted to order one.


    When the food was served, the girls had a mouthful of octopus **** and a sip of milk tea, and were immediately overwhelmed by the perfect combination of the two.


    ¡°What kind of octopus **** are these? With this sweet and spicy sauce, they are much more delicious than that spicy octopus.¡± The girl with the oval face praised. Spicy octopus is a dish, and these octopus **** are more like snacks, with interesting shapes and fun to eat.


    ¡°This milk tea is also delicious. I¡¯ve heard before that Saibei uses milk to make tea, but it always has a fishy smell. How come this Qishanju doesn¡¯t have any fishy smell when it¡¯s made?¡± the round-faced girl asked. When I got the milk tea, I felt like seeing each other late.


    ¡°Of course it¡¯s the owner¡¯s skill.¡± Miss Ye smiled, ¡°Do you think anyone can make such a good thing?¡±


    The oval-faced girl heard what she meant, and smiled, ¡°Sister Ye is talking about the Cao family buying milk?¡±


    Speaking of this, the girls are even more energetic.


    It turned out that after Miss Ye took **** milk back to her grandmother to eat, the old man only felt comfortable and thought of his old sisters. People, when they get older, they are prone to chills. This kind of good thing, of course, let them have a taste.


    She asked Miss Ye to buy more and send them to some old sisters she knew well, including the old lady of the Cao family.


    After the old lady of the Cao family finished eating, she also felt good. After asking whether it was bought by Qishanju, she asked the people below to buy it.


    Miss Cao was by her side at that time, remembering the grievances she had suffered at Qishanju, she hated that shop very much, and immediately stopped the servants.


    She refused to buy it, Mrs. Cao asked her why, of course she didn¡¯t dare to tell the truth, so she belittled Qishanju.


    But why does Mrs. Cao feel that this **** milk is very good?


    ¡°Grandma, if we make it ourselves, isn¡¯t it more clean and elegant than what they make?¡± Miss Cao said.


    This seems to be the reason, so the Cao family bought milk.


    But is it really done?


    ¡°I saw the servants of the Cao family come here to buy **** milk yesterday!¡± said the oval-faced girl.


    When the girls looked at me and I looked at you, they all covered their faces and smiled. That girl Cao always thought that no one else could do it, and she was the only one who could do it. Now I know.


    ¡°Speaking of which, the owner of this shop is really good at craftsmanship. Now I can¡¯t wait to eat at her place every day, and I don¡¯t even want to go home.¡± The round-faced girl sighed.


    A few girls think so.


    Jiang Yunzhu naturally didn¡¯t know their whispers, but it was true that he made a lot of money today.


    At noon, when the number of guests gradually decreased, two people came in outside. The one in front is Qin Yao, and the one in the back is Lin Yubai.


    Xie Chen wanted to help Jiang Yunzhu with something, so Jiang Yunzhu asked him to stand at the counter instead of Jiang Yunxue.


    As soon as Qin Yao came in, she saw the person behind the counter, and she was stunned for a while before returning to her senses.


    Lin Yubai looked up and down, left, right, and right like a thief, and was relieved to find that Shen Fengming was not there.


    He didn¡¯t want to come to this store at all, but Qin Yao wanted to come, so he had to come.


    Otherwise, if she offended someone she shouldn¡¯t, it would be too late to regret it.


    Xie Chen also saw the two of them, he only felt that Qin Yao¡¯s face was familiar, after thinking about it carefully, he remembered who she was, nodded and smiled at her.


    Qin Yao blushed slightly, and quickly sat down on the seat.


    Lin Yubai also sat down.


    The two quickly finished ordering. Qin Yao ate absent-mindedly. Lin Yubai picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs. His beautiful peach eyes immediately flashed. The food in this restaurant must be too delicious!


    Jiang Yunzhu came out to pick up the list by chance, saw the two people, and thought, sure enough, the two knew each other. Then she looked at Xie Chen again, thoughtful.


    From this day on, Qin Yao and Lin Yubai became regular customers of Qishanju. The business of Qishanju is booming, and everyone is full of energy every day.


    But this morning, Mrs. Chen came in hurriedly from the outside and said, ¡°Yunzhu, isn¡¯t the next door to us being renovated all the time? I saw they put up a plaque just now, and they even want to open a restaurant, and¡­ you should go out and have a look.¡± Bar!¡±


    Next door to Qishanju is Shopkeeper Meng¡¯s shop, which Jiang Yunzhu almost rented before.


    Jiang Yunzhu went out to look, and saw that the decoration next door was basically finished, the windows were replaced with fine white gauze, and the furnishings in the shop were not to mention exactly the same as those in Qishanju, but they were probably 80% similar.


    Look at the plaque just hung again, good guy, ¡°Xishanju¡±.

 Chapter 63

    Jiang Yunzhu frowned, she didn¡¯t object to competition, but the store¡¯s behavior was too low, it was disgusting!


    In this era, there is no copyright protection and anti-unfair competition law, otherwise they can definitely go to jail.


    ¡°How could they do this!¡± Li He and others also heard the news and came out to check, and when they saw it, they were furious.


    ¡°Who is the owner of this store?¡± Xue Jing was already in a hurry, seeing this, he went straight to the door and shouted angrily.


    ¡°I¡¯m the owner of this store, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Shopkeeper Meng came out triumphantly in a brown cocoon gown.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you decorate it according to our restaurant? How dare you call it Xishanju!¡± Xue Jinghong said with red eyes.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t I dare to call it Xishanju? Have the words Xishanju been contracted by your family? Besides, which eye of yours saw that I decorated it according to your restaurant? Everything in this store is my own idea.¡± ¡± Said Shopkeeper Meng.


    ¡°You!¡± Xue Jing raised his fist and was about to beat him up, but he was clearly making unreasonable words.


    Shopkeeper Meng was not afraid at all, he just looked at him like that, beat him, and sent him to prison after the beating, to see what Qishanju would do!


    ¡°Xue Jing.¡± At the critical moment, Jiang Yunzhu called out to Xue Jing, and then signaled Li He to stop him.


    Li He was a little more sensible than Xue Jing, so he quickly pulled Xue Jing back.


    Shopkeeper Meng smiled, and said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Boss Jiang? I will open a new store in two days, and all drinks and food will be discounted by 50%. You must come and join us!¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at him, ¡°Definitely.¡±


    Her reaction was beyond Shopkeeper Meng¡¯s expectation. He thought she was either leaving angrily or crying. After all, a girl can¡¯t cry when something happens.


    ¡°Then wait for your boss.¡± Shopkeeper Meng said.


    Only then did Jiang Yunzhu turn around and return to Qishanju.


    Xue Jing still felt aggrieved in Qishanjuli. He looked at Jiang Yunzhu, wanting to say something, when he suddenly found her sitting there with her eyes downcast without saying a word, and his heart skipped a beat. He patronized himself and got angry, but he didn¡¯t consider her feelings.


    When the store first started to be renovated, Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t have much money. More than half of the things in the store were bought by her from all over the county, and then decorated by herself.


    Now that something like this happened, she should be the one who suffers the most!


    Thinking of this, Xue Jing¡¯s heart was on fire, wishing to kill that shopkeeper Meng.


    The others felt similarly, standing there with their heads down.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled at this moment, ¡°What are you doing standing there, it¡¯s noon soon, everyone go get busy.¡±


    ¡°Boss.¡± Xue Jing and others said in unison.


    ¡°Everyone has to work harder in the future!¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Everyone immediately agreed, and they all held back their energy. They must not let their neighbors rob them of their business.


    ¡°Then go get busy.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Everyone dispersed.


    What the next door did was disgusting to Jiang Yunzhu, but if it was just like this, Jiang Yunzhu would not care about it, fakes are always fakes, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and Jiang Yunzhu is confident that they will never take away his business.


    She lowered her eyes just now, just thinking about another thing.


    Shopkeeper Meng did this because he was simply envious of Qishanju¡¯s booming business, or there were other reasons.


    If shopkeeper Meng is supported by someone, such as Baofulou, then troubles will follow.


    After all, Qishanju¡¯s foundation is superficial¡­ She remembered that shopkeeper Meng said just now that they would offer a 50% discount for opening!


    Who knows if the 50% discount is for one day or for a long time.


    It really made Jiang Yunzhu guess that the restaurant next door was opened by shopkeeper Meng and shopkeeper Song from Baofulou.


    What¡¯s going on? Recently, more and more sons and daughters in Wuling County like to live in Qishan. It seems that eating there has become a fashion. Those remaining people also gradually heard about the name of Qishanju, and they all wanted to go there to have a look.


    There are only so many people eating out in the county. These days, the running water in Baofu Building has dropped by 40%. Shopkeeper Song is seeing it and is anxious.


    This day, he wandered around and turned to the vicinity of Qishanju, just in time to meet shopkeeper Meng.


    Shopkeeper Meng¡¯s shop has not been rented out yet, and every day it is vacant, he loses a lot of money. At that time, Jiang Yunzhu wanted to rent his shop but he didn¡¯t. He was always resentful in his heart, and now seeing that Qishanju¡¯s business is so good, he is naturally angry.


    When two people meet in this way, they naturally have a common topic.


    Suddenly, Shopkeeper Song had an idea, he could rent Shopkeeper Meng¡¯s shop, and build another Qishanju! He had to admit that Jiang Yunzhu was capable, whether it was the decoration of her store, her method of depositing bank members, or the dishes she cooked, they were all refreshing.


    But he also has an advantage. Baofulou has been open for so many years, and his net worth is comparable to that of Qishanju, which has just opened.


    He can drag her to death.


    At that time, his Xishan residence will be authentic in Wuling County.


    Moreover, he also has a selfish intention, Baofulou was left to the two brothers by his father, and the second son Song can take a large sum of money from him every month without doing anything, why? If he took the opportunity to get all the money to the new store and leave an empty shell for Song Laoer, wouldn¡¯t he be able to get rid of him in the future?


    The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea to kill two birds with one stone, so he immediately told shopkeeper Meng that he wanted to rent a shop.


    Shopkeeper Meng is also a ghost, and when I hear him say it, I think of a lot.


    Renting a shop is naturally a good thing for him. How much does it cost to rent a shop for a year? He watched Qishanju¡¯s people come and go every day, and roughly estimated that it could earn his rent for two to three years a month, which is a big piece of fat.


    So he suggested that he partner with Shopkeeper Song, one of them will provide the shop, and the other will provide the money and people, and they will share the money together.


    Shopkeeper Song disagreed at first, thinking that it was a good thing for him to do his dream, but shopkeeper Meng refused to let go.


    Later, shopkeeper Song figured it out. In the beginning, this Xishan residence was definitely not making money. Wouldn¡¯t it be a good thing to have someone help him fill in the hole? When shopkeeper Meng couldn¡¯t hold on anymore, he kicked him away, just right.


    What¡¯s more, at the beginning, he shouldn¡¯t show up.


    So the two signed a contract, with Shopkeeper Meng acting as the shopkeeper to run Xishanju, and Shopkeeper Song supporting him behind, and the two split the money after they made money.


    The two of them made up their minds to destroy Qishanju and replace it.


    Because of the incident next door, Qishanju was a little silent today, everyone was immersed in their work, and they didn¡¯t laugh like before.


    At night, everyone was already asleep, and Jiang Yunzhu stood alone in the kitchen, looking at the pots and pans and thinking about something.


    ¡°Do you need my help?¡± Shen Fengming came in and asked.


    He seemed to have just been bathed, with a touch of water vapor on his skin, and under the warm yellow candlelight, there was a little luster.


    On such a night, when he suddenly appeared like this and asked such a question, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s expression softened unconsciously.


    She looked at him, he wanted to help her? On the contrary, in his capacity, he can help her solve the current problem casually, but he can¡¯t help her all the time.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled and said, ¡°Should not be used.¡± She already had a plan.


    Shen Fengming looked at her, her eyes were shining brightly, like a river of stars flowing, making people want to immerse themselves in it.


    The next day it was not time for dinner, but the next door was already bustling with activity. The lion dance team occupied half of the street. The battle was much bigger than when Qishanju opened.


    In particular, those lion dance teams did not know whether it was intentional or not, they actually blocked the entrance of Qishanju.


    A lot of people came, some of them came to Qishanju for dinner, they saw that there was a Xishanju opened next door, and the decoration was almost the same as Qishanju, and they pointed there. There were also those who were attracted by the lion dance team, and when they saw two very similar shops, they felt that there was something lively to watch, so they gathered there.


    Shopkeeper Meng stood in front of the shop door, with a happy face, and from time to time he would glance at Qishanju, his eyes full of complacency.


    Qishan Juli, everyone was angry.


    ¡°I asked them to block the door.¡± Xue Jing brought out a basin of **** water from the back kitchen, and was about to splash it on the lion dance team.


    Li He looked at Jiang Yunzhu, and she had to make up her mind about this matter.


    ¡°Stop.¡± Jiang Yunzhu called Xue Jing to stop. There are so many people outside, he poured out this basin of blood, it was a disgrace to shopkeeper Meng, but he was also a disgrace.


    ¡°Boss.¡± Xue Jing said anxiously.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked in the store, but there was no one there anyway, ¡°Come out with me,¡± she said.


    After speaking, she went out.


    Xue Jing and others followed immediately.


    As soon as she came out, shopkeeper Meng saw her, but he didn¡¯t look her straight.


    Jiang Yunzhu was not annoyed either, and stood there watching.


    The lion dance team danced for a quarter of an hour, and it was time for dinner. The streets were full of people. Some people were complaining that the lion dance team blocked the door of Qishanju, so they couldn¡¯t go in to eat, and some were waiting for Xishanju to open. Said that they have to pay half price for drinks and food today!


    Feeling that it was almost done, shopkeeper Meng stretched out his hand, and the lion dance team stopped.


    There was a ladder next to him. At this time, according to the procedure, he should tear off the red cloth on the store plaque and announce that Xishanju has officially opened for business.


    His hand has already grasped the red silk.


    At this moment, a clear voice said, ¡°Shopkeeper Meng, I want to compete with your chef from Xishanju. I don¡¯t know if you dare to accept it.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s words were light and light, but they fell on everyone¡¯s ears like thunder, she was going to kick the hall!


    Everyone looked at her, and saw that she was wearing a satin dress with a light grass pattern, and she was slim, like a little girl, but the calmness in her eyes and the look on her face made people dare not underestimate her .


    Shopkeeper Meng was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, holding the red silk and looking viciously at Jiang Yunzhu, how dare she!


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at him with a smile, and she didn¡¯t want to, but they were so shameless, she thought about it, and felt that if she wanted to continue driving this Qishanju, it would be best to cut the mess quickly.


    ¡°Why, don¡¯t you dare?¡± Xue Jing immediately asked fiercely, he just wanted to yell twice now to express the agitation in his heart. Sure enough, the boss is the boss, he followed her, that¡¯s right.


    As soon as he said this, the crowd immediately exploded.


    ¡°Shopkeeper Meng, compare!¡± It¡¯s not a big deal for someone to watch the excitement.


    ¡°Shopkeeper Meng, you dare to decorate like others, and even chose such a name on purpose. You have done everything you should and shouldn¡¯t do. Why, are you scared now?¡± This is not used to Shopkeeper Meng, and I want to be fair talk.


    ¡°Shopkeeper Meng, I don¡¯t even dare to compare. I don¡¯t think you need to open a restaurant anymore, just close it as soon as possible.¡± Someone sighed.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I saw that the chefs in the store were not very skilled, so I just opened a restaurant here.¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone yelled, as if shopkeeper Meng was put on the fire.


    On a very cold day, Shopkeeper Meng broke out in a hot sweat, beads of sweat streaming down his back. Can he accept Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s challenge? Does he know that Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s cooking is delicious, so if he accepts it, it¡¯s good to win, but what if he loses? He doesn¡¯t need to open this shop.


    There¡¯s a big chance of losing, at least he thinks that Baofulou¡¯s chef is not as good as Jiang Yunzhu, otherwise she wouldn¡¯t have robbed her of the guests.


    But if he doesn¡¯t pick up, can¡¯t his shop open today?


    He subconsciously looked at the crowd, and finally found shopkeeper Song in a corner of the crowd.


    what to do? He looked at him questioningly.


    Shopkeeper Song never expected that a girl like Jiang Yunzhu would be so bold. Of course he didn¡¯t want to accept it, because he had already had people buy Qishanju¡¯s dishes and tried them for the chef in the store, trying to make him imitate the exact same dishes.


    But after the chef finished eating, he just said, ¡°I¡¯m not as good as her.¡± Then he gave up, this¡­


    His plan is to use money to bring down Qishanju.


    But don¡¯t accept¡­


    Suddenly, he thought of a person and nodded to Shopkeeper Meng.


    Shopkeeper Meng wondered if he was dazzled, and he was still staring at Shopkeeper Song.


    Shopkeeper Song nodded his head twice more, then turned around and left in disgust. Today¡¯s opening, with Jiang Yunzhu making such a fuss, there is nothing to see at all.


    Instead, Jiang Yunzhu was fulfilled.


    But it doesn¡¯t matter, when he picks up that person and wins over Jiang Yunzhu, everything will be solved naturally.


    Shopkeeper Meng accepted Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s challenge, but just as Shopkeeper Song guessed, it took him a long time to accept it, and he obviously lacked confidence in himself, so it is estimated that their cooking skills are not very good. That being the case, who would go to their house for dinner.


    Half price? Are they cheap eaters? Well, some people really are. But everyone didn¡¯t go to Xishan Residence, so they went, it didn¡¯t seem like they were losing face.


    Xishanju has been in trouble for a long time, but after the actual opening, there are very few people.


    The nearby Qishanju was overcrowded, and shopkeeper Meng was so angry that his teeth itch. He immediately went to Shopkeeper Song to discuss it, and when he came back, he had a solid foundation in his mind, and when he looked at Qishanju, he regained his previous arrogance.


    In the afternoon, Jiang Yunzhu and shopkeeper Meng sat together and formally talked about cooking skills.


    ¡°Boss Jiang, since it¡¯s a competition, there must be something to win!¡± Shopkeeper Meng said this in a rather aggressive manner.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°What kind of prize does Shopkeeper Meng want?¡±


    Shopkeeper Meng¡¯s eyes turned around her, ¡°If Boss Jiang loses, he will work for me for three years.¡±


    As soon as he said this, Xue Jing and others¡¯ eyes shot fire, how dare he say that.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t respond, she just asked, ¡°If shopkeeper Meng lost?¡±


    ¡°Here¡­ I¡¯ll give you one hundred taels of silver.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve worked for shopkeeper Meng for three years, and it¡¯s only worth a hundred taels of silver? It¡¯s just two months of running water in my Shanju. Shopkeeper Meng should know that if I work for you, I won¡¯t be able to open my Shanju.


    This lottery gap is too big!


    If Shopkeeper Meng was me, would he agree? ¡°Jiang Yunzhu asked unhurriedly, pressing on step by step.


    Shopkeeper Meng has also been in business for so many years, and he has seen everyone, but facing Jiang Yunzhu, he always feels suppressed. He didn¡¯t know how this feeling came about, but he just couldn¡¯t shake it off, couldn¡¯t erase it.


    ¡°What does Boss Jiang mean?¡± He asked.


    ¡°If I lose, I will work for you for one year. If I win, I want this Xishan residence.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, so the conditions are reasonable.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Shopkeeper Meng almost jumped up and said.


    Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°The sum of the house deed and land deed of Xishanju is only worth about five hundred taels, oh, plus decoration, it can be a little more, but it is only the profit of Qishanju for less than a year. Not much, and even a loss.¡±


    Indeed, in terms of money, Jiang Yunzhu was at a loss, but shopkeeper Meng never thought of selling a shop. The shops on this street are all hens that can lay golden eggs, and no one usually sells them.


    ¡°This condition is not acceptable.¡± Shopkeeper Meng said.


    Jiang Yunzhu stopped talking, and sat there, as if he would not talk about anything except this condition.


    Shopkeeper Meng gritted his teeth, and suddenly heard coughing outside, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll go out for the convenience.¡± Then he went out.


    The one coughing outside was naturally Shopkeeper Song.


    The two fought with each other, and finally shopkeeper Song patted his chest and said that he would definitely not lose. If he really lost, he would give him back the silver, and shopkeeper Meng finally agreed.


    When shopkeeper Meng came back, he discussed with Jiang Yunzhu the prize of the competition, and then how to compete and who to invite as judges.


    The two talked for half an hour before everything was finalized, they wrote the contract, each signed their fingerprints, and the contract would take effect only five days later when the competition started.


    The two dispersed, and Jiang Yunzhu led them back to Qishan Residence.


    At this time, when the enthusiasm was down, Xue Jing and the others began to worry again. In case Jiang Yunzhu lost¡­ It would be nothing if they lost their jobs. Jiang Yunzhu would work for Shopkeeper Meng for a year? Who knows how he will embarrass her.


    ¡°Boss, this¡­¡± This was no joke, Xue Jing wanted to persuade Jiang Yunzhu not to compare.


    The others were similar, full of worries.


    ¡°Let¡¯s do things, I know what to do.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. She thinks that in Luzhou, there is really no chef who can compare to her.


    Out of Luzhou? I¡¯m afraid five days is not enough to bring over chefs from other places. Besides, even if she is a famous chef from other places, she may not necessarily lose, so they don¡¯t have to worry so much.


    Everyone dispersed, not daring to disturb her.


    Only Shen Fengming was left, and he has been watching from the side all day.


    At this moment, he looked at her, frowning slightly.


    Is he worried about her? Jiang Yunzhu thought to himself, but he is in Qilinwei, isn¡¯t it also dangerous, and even if he is not careful, he will die. But even so, I didn¡¯t see him retreating. He should be able to understand her!


    As a chef, if she doesn¡¯t even dare to compete in this kind of competition, then she will lose that enterprising spirit, why not close the shop and do something else.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s brows slowly relaxed.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled.


    Here, Shopkeeper Meng is chasing after Shopkeeper Song to ask about the competition. He has promised him that he will win.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to invite the old man right now, and let him go out to invite that man. If you stop me, I won¡¯t be able to catch up.¡± Shopkeeper Song said.


    Shopkeeper Meng hurriedly backed away and asked him to invite, and then asked, ¡°Who do you want to invite?¡±


    Shopkeeper Song smiled slightly, ¡°Have you heard of the Marquis of Anping in Luzhou? There is a chef Gao in the mansion. In the early years, my father was kind to him!¡±


    Shopkeeper Meng has also been to Luzhou a few times, so of course he knows the Anping Marquis Mansion, it is really a noble family. The cooks in their mansion, not to mention Luzhou, are among the best in Zhongnan.


    If they can really invite the cook in their mansion, they will surely win!


    Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Meng finally smiled. He couldn¡¯t wait to start the competition.

 Chapter 64

    Shopkeeper Song returned to his hometown in the countryside, found Mr. Song, and told him about the matter. Mr. Song shook his head like a rattle. He helped Chef Gao in the early years, but this kind of favor is not used every time. If it is not necessary, don¡¯t go to him.


    ¡°Father, now our restaurant is at the point of life and death, you don¡¯t know how arrogant the owner of Qishanju is, he came directly to kick the restaurant, saying that if we lose the competition, this restaurant should not be opened.


    They already rode up to our necks to shit¡­¡± Shopkeeper Song added emphatic words, even blaming Jiang Yunzhu for all the nasty things he did. Anyway, the old man stayed in the country and didn¡¯t know the situation.


    Sure enough, Mr. Song was furious after hearing this, a girl, even if you have some skills, how can you look down on her like this?


    The two set off immediately and went to Luzhou.


    In Anping Hou Mansion, the concierge told Gao Shun that someone wanted to see him. He saw Mr. Song and Shopkeeper Song, and it took him a long time to remember who they were.


    After hearing their intentions, he only felt troublesome.


    At this time, shopkeeper Song took out four hundred taels of silver at the right time, and he smiled, and in that case, he went for a walk.


    But this round trip will take at least four days, and he has to ask the mansion for leave.


    Marquis Anping likes to eat his dishes, and he wanted to ask for leave. The housekeeper dared not make decisions without authorization, so he went to ask the master of the house for instructions.


    Now there are three masters in charge of Anpinghou¡¯s mansion, Anpinghou, Anpinghou¡¯s wife and the eldest son Lin Ting¡¯an.


    Anping Hou and his wife went to Jinguang Temple to worship Buddha, and it was not a big deal, so the housekeeper found Lin Ting¡¯an.


    At this moment, Lin Ting¡¯an was reading a book in the study, when the butler came in, and as soon as he explained the matter, he casually replied ¡°Got it¡±, and the butler withdrew.


    After he left, Lin Ting¡¯an felt his eyes sour. Looking at the sky outside, he realized that he had been reading for two hours without knowing it.


    He stood up, walked to the window and looked into the distance, thinking of many things.


    Suddenly, he remembered an ancient book, and immediately went to the bookshelf to look for it.


    The front shelf didn¡¯t have it, the second one, the third one, and when he got to the fourth shelf, he saw a painting hanging there.


    Amidst the bright fireworks, a beautiful woman stood there with her eyes raised. Her eyebrows were full and her figure was graceful. She seemed to be admiring the gorgeous fireworks, and seemed to be alone in the world. Everything was out of her eyes. It feels like an illusion, as if it is not in the world.


    Lin Ting¡¯an reached out and took down the painting. He remembered this painting. It was painted after he returned home on the Lantern Festival, but he didn¡¯t expect it to still hang here.


    After taking a second look, he rolled up the painting, put it on the bookshelf aside, and continued to search for the ancient book.


    On Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s side, she and shopkeeper Meng had just agreed on the lottery of the competition, and there was already a lot of rumors outside.


    Everyone is talking about this matter, Jiang Yunzhu lost, and will work for shopkeeper Meng for a year? Can Qishanju still be opened? Will they not be able to eat Qishanju¡¯s food?


    If Jiang Yunzhu wins, he can win a well-decorated shop, which is worth five hundred taels of silver. What is the concept of five hundred taels of silver? Many people will never earn it in their entire lives.


    This game is really a big gamble, everyone is guessing who will win, and the whole Wuling County seems to have become lively.


    When it was time for dinner, Qishanju was overcrowded again, and everyone wanted to see how Jiang Yunzhu was doing. ,


    Unfortunately, they didn¡¯t see anyone.


    Jiang Yunzhu was in the backyard at this time. For this game, she was going to go all out, so many things had to be prepared in advance.


    Their game is a best-of-three game, so she must first consider which three dishes to cook on the day of the game.


    Ordinary dishes are definitely not good, so it must be a blockbuster, so as to take advantage of this opportunity to start the reputation of Qishanju.


    After much deliberation, she finally settled on three dishes. However, it is really troublesome to make these three dishes. One of them has been lost now, and only later generations can restore it. She suddenly made it now, and she still needs a reason.


    This reminded her of the ¡°Bright Moon and Clear Spring¡± she made last time, that time she borrowed Gu Yanzhou¡¯s mouth to say that line of poetry, this time¡­


    She thought of Shen Fengming, the last time she mentioned Xiao Kong Imaging, he knew all about it, maybe he also knew about the ¡°Xiyuan Miscellaneous Talk¡±. After all, his father was a scholar of the Shen University, and he knew the ancient and modern times. The Shen family should have this book in their possession.


    Jiang Yunzhu got up and came to Shen Fengming¡¯s door, knocking on the door.


    Soon, there were footsteps inside, the door opened, and Shen Fengming stood there, ¡°Miss Jiang.¡±


    ¡°I have something to ask you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Come in and sit.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu entered.


    The layout of Shen Fengming¡¯s room is very simple, just a bed, a square table, and two chairs when he moved in. At this time, there were a few books, a stack of paper, and an inkstone on the table. It seemed that he was reading and writing just now.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked around and felt that he was not a person who wanted to enjoy himself. That¡¯s right, Qilinwei¡¯s work is often in the wind and rain, and if he is afraid of suffering and tiredness, he can¡¯t do it.


    However, the decoration of this room is still too crude, and Jiang Yunzhu feels ashamed. Before she took care of him, she only cooked medicine for him a few times, cooked meals for a few days, took him to buy clothes once, and didn¡¯t care about anything else at all.


    Just like that, he still wants to repay her?


    She felt like she couldn¡¯t afford it.


    After the game is over, let¡¯s mess with his room, not to mention how gorgeous it is, at least it won¡¯t be so shabby.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought to herself, sat on the chair over there, and talked about her reason for coming. Five days later, there was a cooking competition, and she wanted to study some new dishes. She wanted to ask Shen Fengming if there were any books about dishes. She wanted to refer to them. .


    ¡°There are ¡°Food Clinic Records¡±, ¡°Benxinzhai Recipes¡±, ¡°Shanjia Qinggong¡±¡­¡±Xiyuan Miscellaneous Talks¡±¡­¡±Yunlintang Diet¡±¡­¡± Shen Fengming said one by one, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s eyes became brighter and brighter, no, ¡± Ben Xinzhai Recipe¡± Does he know it too?


    This is a book that has been lost for a long time. In her dream, she searched for it for two or three years but couldn¡¯t find it.


    ¡°Mr. Shen, these books?¡± Jiang Yunzhu felt that his breath was burning.


    ¡°If Miss Jiang wants to watch it, I can silence it for you.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    ¡°You remember all?¡±


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know what to say.


    Her eyes were burning, Shen Fengming slightly moved his eyes away, picked up a pen, ¡°Which book would Miss Jiang want to read first?¡±


    ¡°¡±Benxinzhai Recipe¡±.¡± Jiang Yunzhu actually wanted to watch ¡°Shanjia Qinggong¡±, but thinking of the importance of the competition, she said, ¡°¡±Xiyuan Zatan¡±.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Fengming began to write.


    Jiang Yunzhu sat next to him and watched, because she was anxious to read the content behind, she got closer and closer to him, until the shallow breath brushed against his skin, Shen Fengming¡¯s handwriting, which was always very dignified, suddenly crooked .


    In the evening, Jiang Yunzhu got ¡°Benxinzhai Recipe¡± and ¡°Xiyuan Miscellaneous Talk¡±. The latter was fine, but she read the former for a long time before bed.


    The next day, she said she was going to Luzhou to buy some competition materials. Wuling County is still too small to buy some things at all.


    Some of Xue Jing and others wanted to go with her, and some wanted to go for her.


    Of course Jiang Yunzhu had to go in person, she was afraid that the things bought by others would not meet her requirements.


    The store was already very busy, and when she left, everyone was even busier, and finally Shen Fengming went with her.


    At noon that day, Lin Yubai and Qin Yao came to Qishanju for dinner.


    This kind of thing happened in the store. In the past two days, Xie Chen would come to the store to help if he had time, so today he is still standing at the counter.


    Qin Yao came in and chatted with Xie Chen seemingly unintentionally. They were all very polite words, but she felt very satisfied and sat down in her seat, ready to have a big meal.


    When the food came, Lin Yubai took a bite, but frowned slightly. Today¡¯s dish was not made by Jiang Yunzhu. Although it was delicious, it was just not so interesting. Ordinary people might not be able to taste it, but he knew it.


    Qin Yao didn¡¯t seem to eat it, she ate very happily. But she was also a little worried, ¡°I don¡¯t know if Qishanju can win the competition in four days.¡± She no longer cares about the fact that Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t sell her paintings before, and she was there when Jiang Yunzhu challenged Boss Meng yesterday. , she actually admired her a lot, she didn¡¯t want Qishanju to just disappear.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Qishanju will definitely win.¡± Lin Yubai said.


    ¡°How do you know? I heard that Boss Meng is going to invite a top chef.¡± Qin Yao asked.


    Lin Yubai just knew it.


    Qin Yao didn¡¯t bother to talk to him.


    On February 26th, Jiang Yunzhu came back with a bunch of things, her face was a little tired, but she was full of energy.


    Tomorrow is the day of the competition, ¡°How is it?¡± Chen asked anxiously.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, mother.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, and then she began to process the materials until very late.


    After a sweet sleep, the streets became lively very early the next day. Everyone wanted to see who would win and lose in today¡¯s competition.


    As early as two days ago, a high platform had been set up between Qishan Residence and Xishan Residence, with stoves, chopping boards and other things placed on both sides of the platform. Boss Meng also knows that if he wins today, it will be the time when Xishanju will become famous, so he is much more active than Jiang Yunzhu in doing things. He is the one who made this high platform.


    Seeing Si Shi, the game was about to start, the edge of the high platform was crowded with people, and suddenly a gong cleared the way.


    When everyone looked back, they saw many yamen servants and a sedan chair behind them.


    ¡°It¡¯s the magistrate.¡± ¡°The magistrate has been alarmed?¡± Everyone whispered, looking forward to today¡¯s competition.


    Jiang Yunzhu was making the final preparations at Qishanju, and was a little surprised seeing this.


    The magistrate is here, I don¡¯t know if it will affect today¡¯s affairs.


    After a while, the sedan chair fell, and Meng Zhixian came out of the sedan chair.


    Everyone hurriedly saluted him, and he told them to stand up, so there was no need to salute.


    He also heard that Qishanju and Xishanju were going to compete in cooking. He thought about it, this is a good thing, it means that the people in their county are rich and full of talents, maybe it will be a good story to spread in the future, so he decided to take a look.


    There were already ten young people standing on the high platform. These ten young people were all students of Wenyuan Academy, and they were also ten well-known princes in the county. They were invited by Jiang Yunzhu to be the referee after discussing with Shopkeeper Meng.


    Now that Meng Zhi County is here, naturally he must be added.

 Chapter 65

    ¡°I have met the magistrate.¡± Jiang Yunzhu saluted the magistrate. This was the third time she had seen the magistrate. Because of Wei Kangping¡¯s previous case, she had a good impression of him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be too polite.¡± Meng Zhixian looked Jiang Yunzhu up and down. He also saw her familiar, but it had been several months. So many things happened in the county every day, and he had to deal with them. He had seen too many people, and he couldn¡¯t remember who she was for a while.


    Anyway, it must be the people of Wuling County.


    Meng Zhixian didn¡¯t think much about it, and looked at Jiang Yunzhu with a gentle expression. He had heard long ago that the owner of Qishanju was a young girl, and now it looked like that.


    He didn¡¯t think that Jiang Yunzhu was so bad, on the contrary, he felt that this was the manifestation of his prosperity in Wuling County. Thinking of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in the past, there was only Gongsun Da Niang who danced with a sword to make the Tang Dynasty look good, and waited until the Anshi Rebellion, how could there be such a stunning and beautiful woman, Mr. Du Fu can only sigh ¡°red lips and sleeves are lonely¡± up.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Thinking of this, Meng Zhixian praised first, and then said, ¡°Just compare, I will be your judge, and I will never favor anyone.¡±


    ¡°Thank you magistrate.¡± With his words, Jiang Yunzhu was relieved.


    Over there, the ten young masters who were invited to be judges also saluted Mengzhi County.


    Almost everyone in Mengzhi County knows each other. When scholars are together, there is a lot to talk about.


    Mengzhi County immediately mentioned Aunt Gongsun. When the ten princes heard it, it was not the case. They immediately praised Mengzhi County for its good governance of the county, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Everyone laughed at Yan Yan.


    After Shopkeeper Meng saluted Meng Zhixian, he stood beside him, but he was very anxious. Meng Zhixian was here, why didn¡¯t the chef invited by Shopkeeper Song come? Nothing will go wrong.


    There was no major problem, but shopkeeper Song knew that Gao Shun liked women, so he invited the two most popular girls in the county to accompany him last night, but Gao Shun didn¡¯t wake up until Chen Shi. In the end, he was really afraid of delaying the game, so shopkeeper Song asked the two girls to wake him up.


    Gao Shun was disturbed to sleep well, and was a little unhappy.


    At this time, Shopkeeper Song received a letter saying that Meng Zhi County had arrived, and gently urged Gao Shun to go quickly.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a little sesame official.¡± Gao Shun didn¡¯t care. After drinking another cup of tea, he was late.


    He was already a quarter of an hour late, one can imagine how Mengzhi County and the ten young masters felt about him.


    ¡°I¡¯ve met the magistrate.¡± Gao Shun thought he had a good face in front of the Marquis of Anping, so he was very perfunctory in bowing to the magistrate.


    Meng Zhixian was even more displeased, but such a trivial matter was not easy to happen, so he waved him to stand aside.


    At this time, the master of ceremonies came to the stage, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then talked about the process of today¡¯s game, announcing the start of the game.


    Jiang Yunzhu and Gao Shun started to cook the first dish.


    Jiang Yunzhu recognized Gao Shun as early as when he showed his face, and couldn¡¯t help but lament how small the world is, she never thought that Shopkeeper Song invited him here. Gao Shun, the chef of Anping Marquis Mansion, specializes in Huaiyang cuisine, and is regarded as the top chef in Central and South China.


    In the dream, she was in the Anping Hou Mansion. When Jiang Yunzhu first entered the mansion, she was also assigned to the kitchen.


    But unlike Jiang Yunxiu, she felt that being assigned here really couldn¡¯t be better.


    Don¡¯t worry about eating and drinking, and stay away from the power disputes in Houmen. She used to like cooking, but her level was not good enough. Now that she has learned art, when she saves enough money, she can redeem herself and go out to open a restaurant. In this era Take root.


    She immediately made plans for herself and showed great enthusiasm for her work.


    As soon as Mrs. Zhou saw her, she was a little confused by her enthusiasm. At the beginning, she was afraid that she would seduce Gao Shun, so she was picky about her, but slowly, she found that Jiang Yunzhu really liked working in the kitchen, and didn¡¯t care about Gao Shun or even the princes in the mansion.


    In this way, Mrs. Zhou is willing to give her a chance.


    Jiang Yunzhu worked as a handyman in the kitchen for three months and began to learn cooking skills. But she didn¡¯t learn from Gao Shun, but Hunan cuisine from Chef Xu. The Mansion of the Marquis of Anping was distinguished and distinguished, so it was impossible for Gao Shun to be the only cook in the mansion, but the dishes he cooked happened to be the Marquis of Anping¡¯s favorite.


    In the middle, Gao Shun harassed Jiang Yunzhu several times, but she blocked them all.


    Later, Lin Ting¡¯an kicked him out of the Marquis Mansion due to his misbehavior, and Jiang Yunzhu never saw him again.


    Goodbye now, Jiang Yunzhu thought of many things, but felt that those things were far away.


    The corners of her mouth slowly raised. Since it was him, she would have a greater chance of winning this competition.


    Of course, she will still go all out. Any time you are not careful, you may capsize in the gutter.


    Gao Shun also saw Jiang Yunzhu, and his two small eyes turned around her, this girl is so pretty!


    ¡°Chef Gao, she is very good at cooking.¡± Shopkeeper Meng had no choice but to remind Gao Shun.


    Gao Shun didn¡¯t care about it, a small county town, a girl, and no famous teacher to guide her, what kind of good food can she cook. It is estimated that those young gentlemen just praised her because they saw her good looks.


    Thinking of this, he casually picked up a piece of dried tofu and made it.


    Jiang Yunzhu is also making it. She cuts the chicken, then adds seasonings such as tangerine peel and red rice, mixes well, then wraps it with jade button paper, and puts it aside to marinate for flavor.


    At this time, she started to make another dish, because this dish was too time-consuming, even though many ingredients had been processed in advance, she still had to do it first.


    So everyone saw her put abalone, tendon, cuttlefish and other materials into an earthen pot one by one.


    ¡°What is she doing? Sea cucumbers, scallops, fish lips¡­these are all top umami ingredients, is she going to cook them together?¡± Everyone was surprised.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the boiled soup the best in the world?¡± Someone licked his lips and said.


    The people next to him sneered, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, the imperial chefs still cook whatever dishes, just put whatever ingredients are fresh, anyway, the palace is not short of money.


    But no, with such a fresh material, you can eat one kind of umami, and you can mix two or three kinds, but no matter how many, it¡¯s like putting black tea, green tea, white tea, and black tea together. Even if every kind of tea is top quality tea, can the tea brewed like this taste good? ¡°


    Soak Dahongpao with Biluochun, plus Baihao Yinzhen? His metaphor is so vivid that everyone couldn¡¯t help shivering after hearing it. Is that still tea? A pot of swill soup is about the same.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Boss Jiang? The Dongpo pork and dry-roasted fish she cooks are delicious. You can use those to participate in the competition.¡± Some people didn¡¯t understand.


    Someone whispered, ¡°I heard that the chef on the opposite side is the chef of Anping Hou¡¯s mansion, and even Anping Hou likes to eat his dishes. It is very difficult for Boss Jiang to win this competition. I guess she wants to cook Come out with something new!¡±


    ¡°But novelty doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s delicious, and it doesn¡¯t mean it can win.¡± Someone lamented, thinking that Jiang Yunzhu might be too worried about the game, so he messed up.


    ¡°That¡¯s not it.¡± Everyone sighed.


    On the opposite side, Gao Shun also saw what Jiang Yunzhu did, and just snorted. Just like that, she still wants to compare with him? He could beat her with one finger.


    And Jiang Yunzhu also saw what Gao Shun was cooking at this time, and immediately knew what he was going to cook.


    Boiled dried silk, this is a famous dish in Huaiyang. Dry silk is tofu silk. To make this dish, dry white tofu should first be sliced into thin slices, the thickness is thicker than paper, then cut into thin shreds, soaked in water to remove the smell of beans, and then put it in chicken soup with ham, shrimp and other things Cook to make the dry shreds absorb the umami.


    This dish is also called chicken soup boiled dry silk. The finished dry silk is soft and white, delicious and memorable.


    This dish is also very particular about knife skills. The main thing is to cut the dried shreds finely and evenly, otherwise the taste will be inconsistent. A poem once described it as ¡°adding dried shredded shreds and piles fine strands¡±, which shows its fineness.


    However, in terms of knife skills, this dish is still a little worse than Wensi tofu. After all, dried tofu is much easier to cut than soft tofu.


    Jiang Yunzhu knew that Gao Shun Wensi tofu was also very good, but today he made boiled dried shredded tofu instead of Wensi tofu, which showed that he didn¡¯t take this competition seriously.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, everything went smoothly than she thought.


    After another quarter of an hour, Gao Shun¡¯s side has entered the finishing stage, and the boiled dried shredded rice is about to be ready.


    On Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s side, she saw that the chicken was almost marinated, so she picked up the oil pan.


    Soon, the frying pan started to smoke.


    At this time, Gao Shun raised his hand to signal him that the dish was ready. When everyone looked at it, they saw white jade-like dry threads stacked together in the yellowish chicken soup, standing like a tower in it, and it looked magnificent and elegant.


    Gao Shun raised his chin slightly, this is the dish that the Marquis of Anping likes to eat, it will be cheaper for them to eat today.


    Looking at Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s side again, the jar filled with countless top-quality ingredients is still simmering on the fire, but there is a frying pan on her side? What is she going to do.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu brought over the chicken wrapped in jade button paper, and then did something that surprised everyone.


    ¡°What is she doing? I¡¯m not mistaken.¡± Someone exclaimed.


    The person being asked stared at him and hadn¡¯t reacted yet, so of course he couldn¡¯t answer his question.


    ¡°Did she forget?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s okay?¡±


    ¡°I guess I¡¯m panicked.¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone was in an uproar, mainly because they had never seen such a dish.


    What did Jiang Yunzhu do? She put the chicken with the paper into the frying pan and fried it.


    Paper, oil pan? The frying pan was still smoking, and it was very hot at first glance. Once the paper was removed, it was still¡­ I can¡¯t imagine it, but it definitely wouldn¡¯t be a good result.


    Straight up, fryer? When the people standing in the front row thought of this, they all backed away for fear of being hurt.


    Or the paper turns black, the chicken leaks out, and turns into confetti fried chicken? Then this dish can still be eaten!


    There was a lot of discussion.


    Today, Qishanju competed with Xishanju in cooking skills, and the restaurant was closed, so everyone in Qishanju was also watching Jiang Yunzhu compete with others from the audience.


    Seeing this, Mrs. Chen directly grabbed Jiang Cheng¡¯s hand, so nervous that she couldn¡¯t breathe. If Jiang Yunzhu lost, he would have to work for shopkeeper Meng for a year, which would be bad.


    Jiang Chenghui held her hand, panting heavily, he knew that he had to trust Jiang Yunzhu. It¡¯s just that he was really worried.


    Xue Jing and others are similar.


    ¡°Woo.¡± There was a low whimper. It turned out that Xie Lian couldn¡¯t help crying. She liked the mountain dwelling and Jiang Yunzhu. These few days here are the happiest time in her life. She doesn¡¯t want her to lose or be bullied.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Xie Chen comforted her, but he was also a little anxious.


    ¡°Don¡¯t cry, here.¡± Qin Yao stood not far from them. Seeing this, she took out her handkerchief and handed it to Xie Lian, and then said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she won¡¯t work for others. down.¡±


    Just now, she had decided that if Jiang Yunzhu really lost, she would give hundreds of taels of silver to shopkeeper Meng and forget it. She also didn¡¯t want to look at people like her and work for people like Shopkeeper Meng.


    A few hundred taels of silver is a lot of money to others, but to her, it is nothing. Just because she likes to eat Qishanju food, the money is worth spending.


    Xie Lian was comforted by the two and stopped crying.


    Qin Yao stuffed the handkerchief in her hand and asked her to wipe away her tears.


    She answered it embarrassedly, wiped away her tears, and wanted to say something but couldn¡¯t say it.


    ¡°Thank you Miss Qin.¡± Xie Chen thanked Xie Lian and Qin Yao.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s just a little thing.¡± Qin Yao said quickly, with water flowing in her eyes.


    She bowed her head shyly, Xie Chen suddenly didn¡¯t dare to look at her.


    Neither of the two continued to look at each other, neither continued to speak, they just stood there, but there seemed to be something engulfing.


    Xie Lian looked at Xie Chen, then at Qin Yao, and blinked her beautiful eyes.


    Next to him, Lin Yubai frowned.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s chicken and paper had been in the pot for a while, but what was amazing was that the pot was sizzling, but there was no result as everyone expected. Instead, a scent drifted away with the wind Come.


    ¡°Paper-wrapped chicken, this should be paper-wrapped chicken, I didn¡¯t expect it to be this dish.¡± Gu Yanzhou was also standing in the crowd, and suddenly, he murmured as if thinking of something.


    The **** the stage was really always beyond his expectations.


    Standing next to him were all well-educated students. Hearing what he said, many people immediately remembered that there seemed to be such a dish in history.


    According to records, this dish first appeared in the Nanyue Kingdom and is a secret dish of the Nanyue Kingdom.


    Later, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty Liu Bang ascended the throne, and the Nanyue Kingdom bowed his head and proclaimed himself a vassal, paying tribute to the Han Dynasty every year. This paper-wrapped chicken is one of the must-have tributes every year. There was once a poem praising that ¡°Nanyue is a minister, and it is unified; a golden rooster is wrapped in paper, and the universe is determined.¡±


    After the Nanyue Kingdom was destroyed, this dish disappeared. Everyone can only imagine the taste and magic of this dish from the few words in the history books. Unexpectedly, today in Wuling County, a girl actually reproduced this dish.


    Is this really the paper-wrapped chicken that Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty praised so much? It was Jiang Yunzhu who was grandstanding.


    But the paper in the pot was not black or rotten. Besides, the air was full of fragrance, and everyone was already biased. Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s cooking was really paper-wrapped chicken.


    Everyone immediately became excited, today can be counted, they may have witnessed history today?


    From one audience to the other, everyone knows the miraculous origin of the paper-wrapped chicken.


    On the stage, Meng Zhixian and the ten young masters also heard those discussions. The ten sons were born as Jinshi in Mengzhi County, and the ten sons were also well-read in poetry and books. They quickly remembered the paper-wrapped chicken, and they couldn¡¯t wait to see the dish that Jiang Yunzhu was serving.


    This is really paper-wrapped chicken, the paper-wrapped chicken that Han Gaozu ate? Then they are lucky today.


    Compared with this dish, there seems to be nothing unusual about Gao Shun¡¯s boiled dried shredded rice.


    Gao Shun has never read a book, and he doesn¡¯t know the origin of the paper-wrapped chicken. He just thinks that Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s chicken recipe is a bit interesting. But when he realized that everyone was looking at the paper-wrapped chicken, and no one was paying attention to his big boiled dried shredded rice, he immediately turned black.


    Does Jiang Yunzhu make paper-wrapped chicken? Indeed. This dish was recreated in the Qing Dynasty. It flourished in the Republic of China, and it will be lost in modern times. However, this time it is not because of the method, but because the jade buckle paper used to wrap the chicken is too rare.


    This jade buckle paper is made from the tender bamboo produced in Changting. The production process is cumbersome and complicated, and the finished product is as shiny as jade. It is expensive in this era. In modern times, machines have generally replaced labor, but this kind of paper is very expensive. It can only be done manually, which is a bit unsustainable.


    So a dish can sometimes see the changes of the times.


    Jiang Yunzhu is making this dish now, but the timing is just right, and the jade buckle paper can be used anytime. I just don¡¯t know if because of her dish, Luzhou jade buttons will be expensive.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought about it, and raised her hand to signal her that the paper-wrapped chicken was ready.


    Someone came over immediately and brought this dish to Mengzhi County and the others. I saw a pure white fine porcelain plate, painted with green bamboo patterns, with three flamboyant and phoenix characters ¡°Xishanju¡± on the corner.


    In the middle, a roll of things is white in color. After the paper-wrapped chicken was deep-fried, the outer paper didn¡¯t seem to have changed at all.


    Just like this, it can be called gourmet food and beautiful utensils.


    At this time, someone took scissors and cut the paper, and suddenly, a gust of hot air burst out along with the fragrance.


    The heat dissipated, everyone looked inside, and saw the chicken was as golden as jade.


    Everyone was fascinated by the smell, someone took out the chicken and put some on the plate of Mengzhi County, and then the ten young masters.


    A plate of paper-wrapped chicken, even if Jiang Yunzhu deliberately made more, and the eleven people shared it, each person would only get two to three yuan.


    Of course, this is normal. Now it¡¯s food tasting, not to make you full. Two or three yuan is enough to taste the taste.


    Everyone looked at Meng Zhixian anxiously, waiting for him to eat first.


    Mengzhi County couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, and took the chopsticks to pick up the chicken. Who would have thought that the chicken would slide away without paying attention the first time, showing the tenderness of the chicken.


    Paper-wrapped chicken is soaked and deep-fried through the paper, because it is afraid of frying the chicken, and it can lock all the flavors inside.


    Meng Zhixian clamped the chicken for the second time without changing his face, and put the piece of chicken in his mouth.


    Fragrance, just this one feeling, the aroma of various seasonings, chicken, bamboo shoots, all the aromas are mixed together, shocking people¡¯s taste buds.


    Meng Zhixian slowly tasted the meat in his mouth, trying to distinguish all the aromas one by one and remember them in his heart.


    This is probably what people subconsciously want to do when they see beautiful scenery, beautiful things, and eat delicious food.


    Others moved their chopsticks when they saw that Mengzhi County had eaten.


    Then there was only one thought in their minds, it was indeed a dish that Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty praised, it was really delicious!


    Meng Zhixian ate very slowly, but he also quickly ate the three pieces of chicken, and the others were similar. They looked at the empty paper bag, and they couldn¡¯t get enough of it.


    Someone suddenly thought, I wonder if that paper can be eaten? It seems that this paper is made of young bamboo, and it has been dipped in seasonings, and it has been fried in oil¡­ I don¡¯t know how it tastes.


    Of course, this is just a private thought, and no one will say it.


    Gao Shun¡¯s dishes were finished before Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s. In fact, before the attendants shared the chicken, they had already shared the stewed dried shredded silk with Mengzhi County. But everyone was eager to try the paper-wrapped chicken, so no one cared about it. Dish.


    After eating chicken now, everyone will naturally have to try the boiled dried shredded chicken, otherwise how will the winner be judged.


    Gao Shun¡¯s craftsmanship is excellent. Although he didn¡¯t try his best to make this big boiled dried shredded rice, it still has a soft texture and a delicious taste.


    It¡¯s just that everyone has just eaten the mellow chicken, and it¡¯s not so amazing to eat this dish again.


    In fact, this is also Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s strategy, which is a head start. When cooking, sometimes the comparison is more than just the color and fragrance.


    Start voting. According to the process, whichever dish the judges think is delicious, they put the spoon in their hand on the plate in front of that dish.


    Mengzhi County was afraid of affecting everyone¡¯s fair selection, so he asked everyone to vote first, and he voted again, so as not to take the lead.


    The first son put the spoon in his hand in front of the paper-wrapped chicken without hesitation.


    The same goes for the second son.


    The third person, the fourth person, and when it was the fifth person¡¯s turn, he really wanted to put the spoon on the plate before the dish of boiled dried shredded rice, after all, he had received money from shopkeeper Meng.


    However, in the end he still didn¡¯t dare. Everyone, including Mengzhi County, is watching. He voted for the big boiled dried shredded silk. There must be a reason, right?


    If he can¡¯t tell at that time, he can¡¯t afford to lose that person.


    The sixth place, chicken wrapped in paper, the seventh place, chicken wrapped in paper, and the eighth place, he was very entangled. Shopkeeper Song asked someone to help him. The person he asked happened to be kind to his family. He had already promised to help, now?


    He stood there, swaying from side to side, closed his eyes for the last time, and put the spoon in front of Dazhugansi.


    Forget it, he won¡¯t owe that person any favors in the future.


    After casting, sure enough, everyone looked at him, but he could only turn his face away, pretending not to see. In fact, he wished there was a crack in the ground for him to slip in.


    With him taking the lead, the ninth place also voted for Dazhugansi.


    The tenth voted for chicken wrapped in paper.


    Finally it was the turn of Mengzhi County, he smiled, ¡°Personally, I think the paper-wrapped chicken is better. The paper-wrapped chicken in the past symbolized the glory of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and now the paper-wrapped chicken is reappearing. , our county will get better and better.¡±


    No, there are iron mines in Wuling County, and the people¡¯s lives will only get better and better.


    ¡°What your lord said is very true.¡± Everyone responded one after another.


    In the competition of the first dish, Jiang Yunzhu won.


    Jiang Yunzhu stood by and watched, and she also saw the two people who threw their spoons at Dazhugansi. She vaguely guessed that these two people might have something to do with Shopkeeper Song or Shopkeeper Meng.


    But there is no way, where there are people, there are benefits.


    Fortunately, she still won.


    In the audience, Xue Jing and others were overjoyed. Jiang Yunzhu won the first game, and it was much easier later.


    In stark contrast to them are Shopkeeper Song, Shopkeeper Meng and others. They are like mourning, how did they lose?


    They all looked at Gao Shun, this is the top chef of Anping Hou Mansion? It can¡¯t compare to a girl in a county town.


    When Gao Shun was looked at by them, his already annoyed heart immediately burst into flames. He just didn¡¯t do his best. What¡¯s more, that woman, what kind of bombardment, to attract everyone¡¯s attention, he lost because he was unprepared.


    Next, he let everyone see his strength.


    Immediately start the second dish competition. At this time, more than half an hour had passed since the start of the game. Seeing that it was lunch time, none of the onlookers wanted to leave, and there were more and more people.


    Although you can¡¯t eat the dishes made by the two chefs on stage, it¡¯s good to see and smell them.


    Besides, such a good-looking game doesn¡¯t happen all the time.


    For the second dish, Gao Shun directly took a duck, a chicken, and a pigeon. The duck used was an old male duck, which has the most dense meat, the chicken used a pheasant, and the pigeon used young pigeons.


    It is a technical job to remove the bones of the old male duck bit by bit without changing its appearance, but Gao Shun did it extremely deftly.


    Jiang Yunzhu also started to make the second dish. For the second dish, she originally wanted to make Luoyang jelly dishes, but after seeing Gao Shun¡¯s method, she temporarily changed her mind.


    She knew that he was going to make three sets of ducks. That is to stuff the processed pigeon belly into ham, winter bamboo shoots and other things, then stuff the pigeon into the pheasant belly, fill the empty space with various ingredients, and then stuff the pheasant into the old male duck belly, also use the ingredients filling.


    Finally, put the duck in a pot with bamboo strips and stew until cooked.


    This dish uses three kinds of birds, pigeons, pheasants, and old ducks. As the saying goes, ¡°It is better to eat one or two birds than half a catty of animals.¡± Each of these three kinds of birds is very delicious. Properly, that is fresh and fresh.


    Some people praised the delicacy of this dish as ¡°get off the horse when you smell the fragrance, and stop when you know the taste¡±, which shows its unique taste.


    The Luoyang Yancai that Jiang Yunzhu makes is another way. First of all, this dish is beautiful. After the finished product, this dish looks like a white peony floating in a clear pond. People can¡¯t tell whether it is a dish or a real peony flower is placed on the plate. At the end of winter, it is definitely eye-catching.


    Also, the dish has a history. It is said that Empress Zetian once ate it and gave it the name of the dish.


    Of course, the taste of this dish is also very good, mainly hot and sour, with endless taste.


    However, comparing this dish with Gaoshun¡¯s three sets of ducks is like talking about chicken and duck.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the pot he had put on the fire before and smiled. He wanted to compare freshness? Well, she will compete with him. When it comes to umami, what can beat the stuff in her jar!


    That¡¯s right, what Jiang Yunzhu made in this altar was the Buddha jumping over the wall, ¡°the altar was full of meat and fragrance floating around, and the Buddha jumped over the wall when he heard of abandoning Zen.¡± Even the Buddha loves this altar, let alone ordinary people?


    So Jiang Yunzhu stood there without moving.


    Gao Shun¡¯s place was very busy, and she didn¡¯t move at all. Everyone guessed that she might want to use the contents of the jar as a second dish to compare with Gao Shun, but the jar had been stewed for so long, and there was no fragrance at all. Come out, can it be delicious?


    Thinking of someone comparing Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s jar with tea, someone asked, ¡°Who remembers how many ingredients she put in this jar?¡±


    There are too many people, there are all kinds of people, and there are really special counts, ¡°Fifty-eight kinds, all of which are top-notch and delicious ingredients.¡±


    After hearing this, everyone was silent. It was hard for them to imagine how the stew in this jar would turn out.


    Gao Shun¡¯s three sets of ducks were also time-consuming, and Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s Buddha jumping over the wall was also time-consuming, so after Gao Shun stewed the three sets of ducks, everyone was a little bit staring, as if there was nothing to do.


    ¡°Otherwise, let¡¯s cook the third course first?¡± the master of ceremonies suggested.


    Jiang Yunzhu was fine, but Gao Shun felt too tired. He had been tossing and tossing for half the night last night, and now his energy is low.


    Shopkeeper Meng brought him a chair, and he sat there to recuperate.


    Jiang Yunzhu also sat down and waited.


    On the stage, Meng Zhixian was in good spirits, chatting with all the scholars about various things.


    Under the stage, some people felt hungry and wanted to eat, but they were afraid of missing the exciting time, so they stood there and endured it.


    At this time, Gao Shun¡¯s three sets of ducks began to emit aroma.


    ¡°It smells so good! My mouth is watering.¡± Someone smelled the fragrance.


    ¡°It¡¯s not.¡± Someone echoed.


    ¡°This is made of ducks, chickens, and pigeons. If you smell it, you want to eat it.¡± Someone said.


    There are also people who are thinking about the things in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s jar, but after so long, ¡°Why hasn¡¯t there been any smell yet?¡±


    ¡°Not at all, even if it is stewed into a pot of rotten porridge, there should be some smell.¡±


    ¡­


    There was a lot of discussion.


    After more than half an hour, Gao Shun stood up, and his three sets of ducks were almost ready.


    Seeing this, Jiang Yunzhu also stood up, and her Buddha jumping over the wall was almost done.


    Gao Shun opened the pot, and immediately a strong fragrance wafted around.


    Jiang Yunzhu also lifted the lid of the jar, and a faint scent of wine came out of the jar with an extremely delicious smell. Anyone who smelled this scent felt as if they were drunk.


    The author has something to say:


    ¡°Nanyue proclaims its ministers and returns to unification; the golden rooster is wrapped in paper, and the world is determined.¡±

 Chapter 66

    ¡°What¡¯s this smell?¡± Someone asked dizzily, there was wine and meat, the two mixed together, it was like a forest of meat in a pool of wine, which made people feel smoky.


    Smell it carefully, the wine seems to be Huadiao, what about the meat, why is the meat so fragrant?


    ¡°Could it be fairy meat?¡± Some people couldn¡¯t help drooling, and their eyes were fixed on Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s jar.


    Fairy meat, is it fairy meat?


    It must be, otherwise why is it so fragrant.


    ¡°No, I can¡¯t take it anymore, I want to eat.¡± Some impatient people yelled. Just what to eat? Go home and eat steamed buns? I can also eat several, but I am not reconciled! After smelling such a delicious smell, I can only eat steamed buns.


    Some people are envious of the judges on the stage. If they knew this, he would also be a judge. Among those people on the stage, some are not as good as him!


    ¡°When will Qishanju open for business?¡± Suddenly a person shouted loudly, and everyone immediately supported him.


    Yes, what time does it open? They can¡¯t wait to get in and eat.


    This game seems to be a best-of-three game. Now that the second dish has been prepared, it is obvious that the things in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s jar are more fragrant. If she wins this game, the whole game can be over.


    There was a lot of noise below, shopkeeper Song, shopkeeper Meng and Gao Shun all looked ugly.


    Shopkeeper Meng looked at Shopkeeper Song with an anxious expression on his face. Didn¡¯t he say that they would definitely win? What should we do now.


    Shopkeeper Song didn¡¯t bother to hide his identity at this time. In order to win this game, he had spent all his money. If he lost¡­


    He walked to the edge of the stage and tugged on Gao Shun¡¯s clothes, which means, think of a way.


    Gao Shun couldn¡¯t believe it, but was angry at the same time. He didn¡¯t know what Jiang Yunzhu was doing in that jar, but he also knew that he lost this game. He actually lost at the hands of a woman. If this was reported back to Luzhou, wouldn¡¯t he lose all face?


    He clenched his fists, first stared at Jiang Yunzhu closely, and then looked at the judges.


    At this time, the attendants had already started to distribute the dishes to the judges. Gao Shun¡¯s dishes were prepared first, so this time, he still distributed his dishes first.


    Old duck meat, pheasant meat, and pigeon meat, each share a little bit for the judges, and then pour a spoonful of soup.


    The attendants did it carefully, but unfortunately no one cared at all. Everyone just wanted to know what was in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s jar and why it was so fragrant.


    The attendant began to divide the contents of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s jar, which was a bit difficult to divide, because there were fifty-eight kinds of materials in this jar, and each ingredient was so small that it was not enough for eleven judges to divide. In the end, the attendants just closed their eyes and fished from the jar, and gave the judges what they got.


    Fish it out for Mengzhi County first, and put it in the small bowl in front of him, only to find a piece of sea cucumber, a piece of tendon, and a piece of quail egg inside.


    Meng Zhixian licked his lips.


    Then fish for the ten young masters, the first one got abalone, fish lips and a piece of flower mushroom.


    The young man looked at the contents of the small bowl, and it took a lot of effort to resist eating immediately without a spoon.


    Then came the second son, the third, and the fourth¡­ they were picked up one by one, and there were almost no duplicates.


    It wasn¡¯t until the dishes were set in front of all the judges that Meng Zhixian smiled and said, ¡°Everyone have a taste and see which dish is better.¡±


    Do you still need to taste it? It was clear at a glance who would win and who would lose. It was obvious that Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s dishes were fresher.


    But the cutscene still has to go, everyone agreed and picked up the spoon.


    Scoop a piece of abalone into your mouth. The abalone is already fresh, but now it has a few more layers of thick taste, but it does not damage the taste of the abalone itself. I only feel that the taste of the abalone has been stimulated to the extreme.


    There is also the soft and glutinous taste of abalone, which is also vividly reflected in this dish.


    Instead of eating abalone, eat a piece of mushroom. Putting the flower mushroom into the mouth, the person who ate it was immediately stunned. Is this flower mushroom? Meaty but not greasy, rotten but not rotten, this flower mushroom is even more fragrant and delicious than meat.


    There are only two or three pieces of food in each person¡¯s bowl. This time, even Mengzhi County didn¡¯t taste it carefully, so he put all the food in his mouth, and felt that the various flavors were like waves, one after another, crashing. Human taste buds and nerves.


    Until there is only a little soup left at the bottom of the bowl.


    This soup is different from ordinary stock, it is very heavy in color, brown in color, and looks strong in taste, not like soup, like stew juice.


    Generally, this kind of juice is undrinkable, the taste is too strong.


    But everyone still couldn¡¯t help but want to try it, and they all scooped up a little soup and put it in their mouths.


    To everyone¡¯s surprise, this soup is thick but not greasy, and it is also delicious.


    Everyone immediately drank up the soup at the bottom of the bowl, but they still couldn¡¯t get enough.


    Hearing the shouts below, ¡°Qishanju is open quickly¡±, they actually wanted to end the competition, and then had a hearty meal.


    But this cutscene still had to go, they rinsed their mouths, and began to taste the three sets of ducks made by Gao Shun.


    Very fresh taste, the meat of the male duck is firm, the meat of the pheasant is soft and elastic, and the meat of the young pigeon is tender and smooth. The combination of the three is perfect. This three-set duck is definitely a rare delicacy.


    Unfortunately, it met Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s dish¡­by the way, what¡¯s the name of this dish? Mengzhi County asked Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Buddha jumped over the wall.¡± Jiang Yunzhu replied.


    ¡°What a Buddha jumps over the wall.¡± Meng Zhixian praised, the Buddha smelled it and wanted to jump over the wall to eat it. The name is really appropriate!


    The voting began, and the ten sons still voted first.


    The first young man picked up the spoon and was about to walk towards the Buddha Jumping Wall when suddenly, Gao Shun said, ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m not bragging, Master Hou likes to eat the three sets of ducks I made. He said that in Zhongnan, if I Called the second, no one dares to call the first.¡±


    After speaking, he looked at the judges one by one.


    Everyone he saw was a little surprised, what did he mean?


    Gao Shun¡¯s meaning was obvious. Anpinghou said his food was good, but they said his food was not as good as that of an unknown girl. Was it Anpinghou¡¯s fault, or were they wrong?


    After the ten sons were upset, they all thought of a lot. Beating a dog depends on the owner. Gao Shun lost face here today. If Marquis Anping is magnanimous, he should know that Gao Shun is not good at learning. But if Marquis Anping has misunderstood, or someone is sowing discord in front of him?


    These people have a small reputation in Wuling County, but how can they compare with Anping Hou Mansion! A little finger from someone can ruin their family.


    Take a step back, even if Marquis Anping doesn¡¯t care about this matter, Gao Shun will definitely bear a grudge against them. The third-rank official in front of the prime minister¡¯s gate, I heard that he has a good face in front of the Marquis of Anping, if he retaliates afterwards¡­


    The faces of the ten sons changed.


    Gao Shun stood there with arms folded, carefully looking at everyone one by one, as if he wanted to keep their appearance and reactions in mind, and then¡­ definitely nothing good will happen.


    The ten sons were angry again, but they didn¡¯t dare to show it. They all looked at Mengzhi County.


    Meng Zhixian was very annoyed when he heard that Gao Shun threatened everyone, but he was also a little afraid of Anpinghou. After more than ten years of hard work, he won the Jinshi examination and got the official position of a county magistrate. What if he lost it because of this trivial matter?


    Yes, he also knows that a man would rather bend than bend, and a gentleman will do something and not do something¡­ But the truth is the truth, and when things happen, there are still a few who can get out of it. Otherwise, there are so many dynasties and so many officials. Several names are left in history.


    Mengzhi County did not speak.


    His silence made Gao Shun excited. He looked at Jiang Yunzhu proudly. She is good at cooking, so what can she do? The one who wins in the end has to be him.


    Shopkeeper Song and Shopkeeper Meng thought they were doomed, but they didn¡¯t expect such a turnaround, and they were overjoyed immediately.


    It was about to vote, but the stage suddenly fell silent, and the people in the audience started to shout.


    ¡°Voting, I¡¯m starving to death. After voting, Qishanju opened the door quickly, waiting for dinner.¡± This is someone who doesn¡¯t know why.


    ¡°Is the Marquis of Anping¡¯s mansion amazing? It¡¯s obviously not as good as others.¡± Someone knew Gao Shun¡¯s meaning and whispered, apologizing for Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Of course the Marquis of Anping is amazing.¡± Someone sighed, feeling that this competition is boring, just like this world, the rich do whatever they want, and the poor, even though their strength surpasses everyone, they still lose miserably in the end.


    ¡­


    Everyone was discussing, but Xue Jing and others were filled with righteous indignation. Everyone could see what those people were doing. Jiang Yunzhu won. Did they really want to favor Gao Shun? That day has not been posted!


    Xie Lian nervously held Xie Chen¡¯s hand.


    Xie Chen¡¯s already slightly frowned eyebrows frowned even tighter.


    Gu Yanzhou¡¯s face was also slightly gloomy, and he was about to say something, when a golden and jade-like voice said, ¡°Marquis of Anping, is it amazing?¡± It was Lin Yubai.


    He also can¡¯t understand this matter, and, does he think these people on stage are looking for death? Therefore, he decided to kindly remind them that it¡¯s not yet the turn of Marquis Anping to cover the sky with his hands in Luzhou.


    As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him. Immediately, everyone felt that their eyes lit up. This young man looks so handsome.


    Gao Shun really knew Lin Yubai, and his face immediately changed. If others said that about Anpinghou, he would naturally have something to say, but Mrs. Lin Fu Lin¡¯s family seemed to be really not afraid of Anpinghou.


    ¡°This chef said that he is the number one in Central South, so he is the number one in Central South? He is not good at cooking. If he becomes the number one because of his words today, and spread the word in the future, wouldn¡¯t it make people laugh?¡± Gu Yanzhou said lightly.


    Everyone heard it, yes, if Gao Shun really wins today, Wuling County¡¯s reputation in the future may be rotten against the wind.


    ¡°A fox pretends to be a tiger, and a dog takes advantage of others. The Marquis of Anping may not know what he is doing at all, or the Marquis might be the first one to let him go.¡± Xie Chen snorted.


    With his words, even if Marquis Anping wanted to shield Gao Shun, he couldn¡¯t hold back his face.


    Hearing this, Gu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chen, he knew him, he seemed to be helping at Qishanju.


    Xie Chen also remembers Gu Yanzhou, the day Qishanju opened, he brought people to congratulate him, he and Jiang Yunzhu should have a close relationship.


    The two looked at each other and nodded to each other.


    The two of them sang together, which instantly ignited everyone¡¯s emotions. Everyone shouted, let Gao Shun step down quickly, let the judges judge Jiang Yunzhu as the winner, and Qishanju hurriedly opened.


    Meng Zhixian and others were also awakened by Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen¡¯s words. They don¡¯t have to be so afraid of Gao Shun. If they all sentenced him to lose, would he have to deal with everyone? On the contrary, it is embarrassing for them to be so timid.


    Meng Zhixian stood up, stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then took the lead in putting the spoon in his hand on the plate representing Buddha Jumping Wall. He felt that Buddha Jumping Wall was better than three sets of ducks.


    Then came the ten young masters. This time, all of them voted for Buddha Tiaoqiang.


    ¡°Qishan Jufo jumps over the wall, eleven spoons, Xishanju three sets of ducks, no spoons.¡± The master of ceremonies announced the judges¡¯ selection results.


    In the last match, Gao Shun still had two spoons, so he still had a fig leaf. In this match, even his last fig leaf was torn off.


    No spoon! Everyone cheered.


    The result of this competition has been decided, and the master of ceremonies directly announced, ¡°Qi Shanju wins the second dish competition, and Qi Shanju wins the entire culinary competition!¡±


    ¡°We won, we won, we won.¡± Chen Shi held Jiang Cheng¡¯s hand, weeping with joy. Finally won, her heart almost jumped out just now, fortunately, fortunately!


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Jiang Cheng smiled.


    ¡°The boss won, the boss is mighty.¡± Xue Jing shouted there.


    He yelled the loudest, and Jiang Yunzhu could hear his voice on the stage, so he couldn¡¯t help smiling.


    She didn¡¯t expect Gao Shun to use the Anping Marquis Mansion to suppress people just now. As a chef, he doesn¡¯t even have the courage to admit his failure, so it seems that he is just like that.


    She wasn¡¯t too worried about Mengzhi County or the ten judges being intimidated by him. She knew exactly what kind of people Anping Hou and Lin Ting¡¯an were. As Xie Chen said, it was impossible for them to stand up for Gao Shun. On the contrary, if they knew about it, they would definitely make him go around.


    However, she still thanked Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen for their help. By the way, there is also that handsome young man.


    But these are not busy, there is one thing to deal with quickly.


    Jiang Yunzhu took out the competition contract she had signed with shopkeeper Meng, and said to shopkeeper Meng, ¡°Treasurer Meng, I won, can I bring the house and land deeds of Xishanju with me?¡±


    Shopkeeper Meng was still in a dream, he couldn¡¯t believe it, he lost. Hearing Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s words, he subconsciously looked at shopkeeper Song. This matter still has to¡­ there is no shadow of shopkeeper Song.


    Shopkeeper Song saw that something was wrong just now, so he slipped away.


    Shopkeeper Meng only felt that his eyes were darkened, and he thought that he might as well faint.


    Hearing Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s words, Meng Zhixian said to Butou Hu, ¡°I¡¯ll leave the rest to you.¡± Then he got into the sedan chair and left.


    Hu Butou naturally knew what Mengzhi County meant, and immediately said to shopkeeper Meng, ¡°Shopkeeper Meng, I would like to admit defeat. Don¡¯t get dizzy. If you get dizzy, our brothers have to wake you up. It¡¯s so cold, don¡¯t put it on your head again.¡± You¡¯re freezing.¡±


    Who are these police officers? They are used to all kinds of rogues. As long as they want to, they will definitely have a way to make you submit.


    Shopkeeper Meng stopped halfway, and he said bitterly, ¡°Boss Hu, my house and land deeds are all in my hometown, can you give me a few more days?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, or I¡¯ll send you to prison. When will your family get the deed and land deed, and when will I let you out?¡± Hu Butou said.


    Shopkeeper Meng hurriedly waved his hand, prison, is that a place for people to stay?


    Immediately, two policemen followed him home and brought the house deed and land deed of Xishanju.


    Shopkeeper Meng¡¯s daughter-in-law was crying, beating and rolling, but it didn¡¯t help.


    When the arrester was about to leave, she scolded shopkeeper Meng loudly, saying that he was fooled, and he wanted to make a lot of money. Now it¡¯s all right, even the shop is lost, what should we do next?


    Shopkeeper Meng was also very angry. If Shopkeeper Song hadn¡¯t insisted that they would not lose, he would never have signed the contract.


    ¡°It¡¯s just being used as a knife!¡± His daughter-in-law scolded again.


    Shopkeeper Meng immediately went to shopkeeper Song. He said that if he really lost, he would pay his shop money. Now he wants to hide, but there is no way.


    It¡¯s a pity that he didn¡¯t see Shopkeeper Song at all.


    Shopkeeper Song is also having a hard time now. Gao Shun lost his face this time, and when he got off the stage, he took all his anger on him, but he could only bear it.


    Now he doesn¡¯t want to see anyone, especially shopkeeper Meng.


    Shopkeeper Meng knew that he was avoiding him on purpose, but how could he give up so easily.


    The two had a complete quarrel and became enemies.


    The two catchers came back quickly and handed over the title deed of Xishanju to Butou Hu. Butou Hu changed hands and handed two things to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu took it, ¡°Thank you, if you are not busy, why not come to Qishanju, and I will cook some dishes to thank you.¡±


    Hu Butou was just about to eat Qishanju¡¯s food, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have forced shopkeeper Meng like this, just wanting to sell favors to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Now that Jiang Yunzhu accepted the favor and invited him to dinner immediately, he was of course happy, ¡°Not busy, not busy.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu turned around and said to everyone, ¡°Qishanju is now open, everyone is welcome!¡±


    ¡°Hurry up and open the door, I¡¯m just waiting to eat your food.¡±


    ¡°Boss is good at craftsmanship, I will recognize your family in the future.¡±


    ¡°Boss Jiang, when can I order that paper-wrapped chicken jumping over the wall?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, yeah.¡± They wanted to eat too.


    ¡­


    At this time, Xue Jing opened the door of Qishanju, and everyone was afraid that they would not have a place if they went late, so they rushed into the store without talking to Jiang Yunzhu.


    After a while, the store was overcrowded.


    Li He, Chen¡¯s family including Jiang Cheng and others hurried to greet the guests.


    The surroundings suddenly became empty, only Shen Fengming was left standing there.


    Jiang Yunzhu met his eyes and smiled, ¡°I won.¡±


    ¡°I know.¡± Shen Fengming said, he had been looking at her.


    The two just looked at each other, and for a moment, Jiang Yunzhu seemed to see a smile in Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes.


    After working for a long time, I finally sent away all the customers in the store, and everyone in the store had time to eat and rest at this time.


    Everyone slumped in their seats.


    Suddenly, Xue Jing asked, ¡°Boss, is the next door really yours?¡±


    Everyone was in high spirits. Although they already knew, they still wanted to hear Jiang Yunzhu say it himself.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Jiang Yunzhu laughed. She won a shop for nothing, and it was still well decorated. She was in a good mood at the moment.


    Everyone was happy, ¡°Boss, have you got through?¡± Xue Jing asked. In this way, in terms of scale, Qishanju is not inferior to Baofulou, and it can be regarded as one of the best restaurants in the county.


    This¡­ Jiang Yunzhu got up and went outside.


    Everyone quickly followed, and in a short while, they all stood in front of the gate of Xishanju.


    ¡°I¡¯ll get this plaque off first, it¡¯s an eyesore,¡± Xue Jing said. Immediately, he moved up the ladder and threw the original plaque aside.


    It looks better now.


    Jiang Yunzhu stepped inside and carefully inspected the decoration inside.


    Not to mention, Song and Meng¡¯s decoration is really good, and they can almost be used directly.


    Jiang Yunzhu stood there, looking at the next door, get through? Or do something else.

 Chapter 67

    In fact, it is more convenient to open up a restaurant. With the same decoration, as long as the wall is gone, the two can be combined into one. In this way, Qishanju is likely to become one of the best restaurants in the county. It¡¯s just that the development is too fast, and the manpower can¡¯t keep up.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought for a long time, but gave up.


    A business does not only have horizontal development, but horizontal development is the most effective, but in her dream in Anping Hou Mansion, she saw too many things of ¡°seeing him building a tall building, seeing him feasting guests, seeing his building collapsed¡±, It is better not to expand blindly, and it is best to fight steadily.


    So she decided to develop vertically and open a teahouse next door.


    Now there are many young men and women who come to Qishanju. If you open a teahouse next door, it will sell elegant and clean, and you will definitely not worry about losing business.


    Moreover, the operation of the teahouse is simple, as long as you prepare tea and some dried fruit snacks, but the teahouse earns a lot. For example, a pot of Biluochun may only cost 30 renminbi, but it can be sold for 80 renminbi, which is definitely a good business.


    Teahouses and restaurants have different operating hours. Teahouses are mainly open in the morning and afternoon, and restaurants are mainly busy at noon and evening meals. The two can rely on each other and cross each other, which can increase the stickiness of customers and save money. Manpower, the more Jiang Yunzhu thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the lack of capital, she would have thought of building an industrial chain integrating eating, drinking, and entertainment.


    Of course, she just thought about it, even if the people in Wuling County are rich, they are not enough to support her to build such a behemoth.


    If it is changed to Luzhou or Beijing¡­


    Forget it, thinking too far, Jiang Yunzhu decided to think about her teahouse first.


    Soon, she roughly thought everything out.


    ¡°Open a teahouse?¡± Jiang Cheng and the others were a little at a loss when they heard her say that. How did she think of opening a teahouse? Obviously opening a restaurant is easier and more profitable.


    Jiang Yunzhu told everyone the one, two, three or four reasons why she was thinking. Xie Chen was the first to react and looked at her with admiration. Being able to recognize herself clearly at such a time, not to advance aggressively, and not to be greedy for merit, I am afraid that many big figures in the court could not do it, but she did.


    Such a girl is really admirable and convincing. I really don¡¯t know who will marry her in the future.


    He suddenly saw Shen Fengming standing behind the crowd, although he was just standing there quietly, it was impossible to ignore.


    Xie Chen suddenly thought of Gu Yanzhou, and thought of himself, today in May, success or failure depends on one move!


    After hearing so much from Jiang Yunzhu, the others also began to think that opening a teahouse was really a good idea.


    ¡°Then it¡¯s decided.¡± Jiang Yunzhu finally said.


    Everyone happily agreed. Anyway, whatever Jiang Yunzhu said, they would do the right thing.


    Jiang Yunzhu started to prepare for the teahouse. First, she ordered a plaque. This time she went directly to Shen Fengming, ¡°Mr. Shen, can you write a plaque for me?¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Fengming spread out the paper and looked at her.


    Jiang Yunzhu had already thought up the name of the teahouse, and it was called ¡°Tea is not cold¡±.


    Shen Fengming already knew that she was going to open a teahouse, but when he heard the name, he was still a little startled, he thought the name of this teahouse would be similar to Qishanju, but who would have thought that it would be these three words.


    The tea is not cold, and it is said that people go to the tea to be cold, but Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s teahouse is called ¡°Tea is not cold¡±, which seems superficial, but it is actually worth savoring carefully.


    Shen Fengming quickly wrote these three characters and handed them to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu took it, no matter how many times she read it, she still liked his writing very much. Just like the books he gave her silently, she couldn¡¯t put it down.


    Li He was asked to go to the plaque shop, while Jiang Yunzhu went to the county government office with the deed and land deed, and officially transferred the house to his own name.


    The matter went smoothly, and after a while, she got a new house deed.


    Coming out of the county government office, Jiang Yunzhu looked at the red seal on the deed, how can I put it, I am very happy, this is her first real estate in this era. After all, both the house in Changshi Village and the pavement of Qishanju were rented before.


    One apartment at a time, Jiang Yunzhu felt that this kind of activity could actually be repeated several times.


    Of course, she just thought about it. After all, who can guarantee that they will always win!


    Back at Qishanju, the front shop is not accessible, but the backyard is actually accessible.


    Jiang Yunzhu found someone, and the next day, those people came, and with a few hammers down, the wall collapsed, and Qishanju and the backyard where the tea was not cold became a whole.


    Suddenly, the whole yard became open.


    Simply, Jiang Yunzhu asked them to demolish the two side rooms that were a bit of an obstacle in the middle, and the entire backyard became a large open space in the middle, with seven main rooms at the back, one with two side rooms on both sides, and one with a side room.


    ¡°There is no such bright place in the entire county.¡± Xue Jing praised. Compared with this yard, his small yard is almost like a bird¡¯s nest, it¡¯s impossible to see.


    Li He and his wife were also very envious. Jiang Yunzhu had only come to Wuling County for less than a year, and now he has his own house and shop. It would be great if they could buy their own house anytime.


    Chen Shi and Jiang Cheng laughed for a while and were stunned for a while, unable to believe that this big courtyard belonged to their family.


    I think their biggest dream last year was to buy a donkey and build a more dignified house in the village.


    Now I have a house directly in the county seat, and it¡¯s still so good, it¡¯s really a dream that makes me wake up with a smile.


    ¡°Grandfather, the yard is spacious enough now, you can come and live in the county town.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said to Mr. Chen.


    Mr. Chen was really moved, but after hesitating for a while, he still said, ¡°Forget it, I still live in the countryside, clean and tidy.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t persuade him, so he had to give up.


    ¡°Which room do you want to live in?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked Shen Fengming after everyone dispersed. Speaking of it, I really wronged him. In Changshi Village, he lived in a side room with Yang Sheng. When he arrived in the county, he still lived in a side room. This time the side house he lived in was demolished, and Jiang Yunzhu decided to give him a better salary no matter what.


    By the way, he needs to make his house better.


    Shen Fengming casually pointed to a room, ¡°This is it.¡± That room happened to be next to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s room.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, and pushed open the door of that room.


    The house is empty, which is also suitable for Jiang Yunzhu to play.


    ¡°What style do you like?¡± she asked.


    ¡°Style?¡± Shen Fengming was puzzled.


    ¡°That is, what kind of room do you want to make, simple and practical, or elegant, or quiet? Or something else. Also, what color do you like?¡± Jiang Yunzhu turned her head and asked with a smile.


    Shen Fengming never thought about this kind of problem, as long as his room can be lived in, he never cared about such things.


    Looking at him like that, Jiang Yunzhu probably guessed something, and couldn¡¯t help sighing that the life of this Commander Shen is actually quite rough.


    She thought for a while, ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯ll make it for you. If you don¡¯t like something, just tell me.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Fengming agreed.


    The two went out together, first went to the silk and satin shop, and bought some cloth to make curtains, tablecloths, etc.


    ¡°How about this color?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked while holding a piece of sky water blue material.


    Shen Fengming nodded.


    ¡°What color is it?¡± A piece of maroon material.


    ¡°Don¡¯t like this.¡±


    ¡°Well, what about this one?¡± A piece of autumn-scented material.


    Shen Fengming shook his head.


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to put it down, but she really liked the color of this piece of material. Holding the material, she couldn¡¯t help but asked again, ¡°Is this piece really ugly?¡±


    ¡°As long as you think it¡¯s good.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t want to force it anymore, but the words had already been spoken, so she said, ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯ll ask the store to make it, and you can see it then. If you like it, you can keep it. If you don¡¯t like it, you can put it in my room.¡± ,How about it?¡±


    ¡°it is good.¡±


    So happy to decide.


    They were picking and choosing, and stared blankly at the shop owner and the guy next to him, mother, where did such two good-looking people come from! Listening to their conversation, it should be a pair of young lovers who are about to get married.


    So when Jiang Yunzhu checked out, because she bought a lot, the store gave her a pair of pillowcases, with apricot white bottom and lotus flowers embroidered on them, exquisite workmanship, and looked very good.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought it was just a random gift from the store, so she handed it to Shen Fengming. It happened that the pillowcase matched the color of his room very well.


    Shen Fengming took the pillowcase, looked at her back, with a complicated expression, lotus, because there are many lotus seeds, it also means that there are many children¡­


    Then the two went to the furniture store and picked out furniture. Then there was the pen and paper shop. Jiang Yunzhu discovered that Shen Fengming actually liked reading.


    Just like that, the empty room became colorful little by little.


    ¡°How is it?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked Shen Fengming when it was almost done.


    Shen Fengming looked around, the room was elegant and fresh, and she had put her thought into every place.


    ¡°Thank you, Miss Jiang.¡± Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes seemed to have crushed a piece of moonlight inside.


    While helping Shen Fengming with the house, Jiang Yunzhu was actually not idle, and the various matters of the teahouse were also proceeding in an orderly manner. She estimated that in a few days, her teahouse would be able to open for business.


    These days, people in Qishanju have been asking when will the paper-wrapped chicken and Buddha jump over the wall be sold.


    In the end, Jiang Yunzhu simply made it clear to everyone that these two dishes were too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and she was not going to sell them.


    Everyone just felt sorry.


    ¡°Boss, why aren¡¯t these two dishes sold?¡± Xue Jing asked Jiang Yunzhu privately. Is it time-consuming? He thinks it¡¯s okay.


    ¡°The cost of these two dishes is too high, and many people can¡¯t afford them.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. The paper-wrapped chicken is a little better, Buddha jumps over the wall, and all the materials are top-grade, and the jar costs more than a dozen taels of silver, which is not suitable for sale in the county.


    Besides, the ingredients used in these two dishes can only be bought in Luzhou, which is too troublesome.


    Xue Jing understood, ¡°Boss, if we go to Luzhou, will we be able to sell these two dishes?¡± He laughed.


    Jiang Yunzhu glanced at him, what are you going to Luzhou for?


    Of course it is to open a restaurant, open a large restaurant, Xue Jing is doing things with a smile.


    To open a teahouse, one must have high-quality tea. In this regard, Jiang Yunzhu has ordered a batch of good tea, which can be used only when the teahouse opens. Second, there are delicious snacks and snacks. Jiang Yunzhu is going to work harder on this.


    In the past few days, she has thought of four or five kinds of snacks, but she always feels that there is something missing.


    One day, she was flipping through the ¡°Ben Xin Zhai Cookbook¡± that Shen Fengming had written silently for her, when someone outside said, ¡°Is anyone there?¡±


    At this time, the restaurant has not opened yet, so there should be no customers.


    Jiang Yunzhu heard the voice familiar again, so she got up and went to check.


    Opening the door, it turned out to be Hu Er.


    ¡°Boss Jiang?¡± Hu Er looked at Jiang Yunzhu, not daring to recognize him. Mainly, this mountain residence is beyond his imagination. The last time he sold hairtail and octopus to Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Yunzhu told him to have something fresh, and next time he would send it directly to Qishanju.


    When he went back that time, he even inquired about Qishanju, but everyone said they hadn¡¯t heard of it, so he thought Jiang Yunzhu was coaxing him.


    As a result, this time he came back from selling things again, good guy, everyone is talking about Qishanju, how the owner of Qishanju won the famous chef from Luzhou, and how delicious the food of Qishanju is.


    He came over today to take a look, this Qishanju, such a big storefront, is really amazing!


    He also regarded the next door as a residence in the mountains, who made the decorations of the two different. But he is not wrong, anyway, these two are now owned by Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Come back from the south? What new things did you bring back this time?¡± Jiang Yunzhu remembered Hu Er and asked immediately.


    Hu Er really brought back a lot of things. After he came back, he planned to take these things to the market to sell. It¡¯s just that after hearing the name of Qishanju, he immediately changed his mind and brought things directly to Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Boss Jiang, look for yourself, just say what you want, it¡¯s all cheap.¡± Hu Er said, walked to the carriage behind, lifted the oilcloth covering the carriage, and pointed out everything to Jiang Yunzhu .


    There are really many things, the most eye-catching ones are those hams. The whole pig¡¯s hind leg was marinated into a bright red color, which looked rosy and attractive.


    Jiang Yunzhu moved closer, smelled the ham, and said pleasantly, ¡°But it¡¯s a three-year-old leg?¡±


    Hu Er picked up his thumb, ¡°Boss Jiang really knows what to buy. I heard that it takes more than three years for this to taste good. So I went to many places to buy these few pieces of high-quality ham.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°It¡¯s not hard.¡± Hu Er said with a smile, it¡¯s all for life.


    In addition to ham, there are bacon, cured fish, sausage, etc. These are meat and fruits. In this season, there are already fresh fruits in the south, but Hu Er is alone after all, and he can¡¯t travel day and night, fearing that those fresh fruits will be spoiled. Instead of buying fresh fruit, I bought all kinds of dried fruit back.


    And then¡­Jiang Yunzhu saw something, her heart skipped a beat, it was¡­ She hurriedly grabbed a handful from the bottom of the car, and looked carefully, it was indeed the best moldy dried vegetables.


    ¡°How many of these things did you bring back?¡± She hurriedly asked Hu Er.


    ¡°It¡¯s quite a lot?¡± Hu Er didn¡¯t know why Jiang Yunzhu reacted so strongly. He bought this thing at the home of a fellow ham seller. At that time, he thought that this dish was cheap and could fill the gaps in the car, so he bought as much as he wanted.


    Jiang Yunzhu was relieved. She wanted to open her teahouse before, and what to do to get off to a good start. Now she has an idea.


    Crab shell biscuits! Thinking back when she came to Wuling County not long ago, she wanted to make this kind of sesame seed cake after eating the sesame seed cakes in the town. Unfortunately, she never had the opportunity and materials, but now she is ready.


    Then came the price negotiation, Jiang Yunzhu almost ordered more than half of the things in the car. The hairtail and octopus I bought from Hu¡¯s second-hand store last time have already been eaten, and she is worried that there are no new dishes in the store, so don¡¯t worry about it now.


    She wanted so much, she was a big customer, and she knew what she was doing, so Hu Er didn¡¯t dare to make a wild quotation, and directly said a very fair price.


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s calculate the price according to what you said.¡± Jiang Yunzhu still expected him to go to the south to bring her goods again, thinking that the price he said was not too high, so she agreed immediately.


    Hu Er was overjoyed and hurried to help her unload the goods.


    At this time, Li He and Xue Jing also came out to help, they were busy for a while, and put away all the things.


    Jiang Yunzhu handed the money to Hu Er and asked, ¡°When are you going to the south again, can I order another batch of these moldy dried vegetables with you?¡±


    Hu Er took the money, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll sell the remaining things in the car, and I¡¯ll start the journey. I guess it will only take two or three days!¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu calculated the time, it should be about the same. This time, she directly paid Hu Er a deposit, telling him that next time he came back, he must bring her moldy dried vegetables, and all of them should be this good.


    Hu Er left satisfied.


    Jiang Yunzhu went straight to the blacksmith shop. She wanted to order an oven. With an oven, she would be able to cook a lot of delicious food in the future.


    Six days later, the oven was ready and moved back to the store. The next day was also the opening day of Jiang Yunzhu Teahouse, just in time.


    Let¡¯s make an oven of biscuits first, just try this oven. Jiang Yunzhu acted immediately.


    Take flour, first add hot water to make the noodles into wheat ears, then add cold water to knead the noodles into a smooth dough. This method of heating first and then cooling can make the dough more elastic.


    At this time, take some lard and knead it into the noodles, so that the biscuit skin will be more crispy.


    Then set the dough aside to rest.


    At this time, the stuffing is made, the good pork belly is diced, the moldy dried vegetables are processed and chopped, and the two are mixed together, and then various seasonings are added, and the stuffing is ready.


    Then make the pastry. After the pastry is ready, the dough is almost ready, and you can wrap it.


    There are also skills when wrapping. Roll the dough into a rectangular shape, then roll it up, roll it out, and then wrap the stuffing. This will make the biscuit skin have many layers.


    The finished sesame seed embryos are only the size of plums, flat ones, and look ugly.


    That¡¯s ok, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, pop them in the oven and it will make all the difference.


    Knowing that Jiang Yunzhu made new food today, although everyone was busy, they looked at her from time to time, wondering what delicious food she was cooking again.


    Soon, a special fragrance emerged from the oven, and the busy people couldn¡¯t help sniffing.


    After a while, the scent became stronger, Jiang Wu couldn¡¯t help it, put down the book, and ran to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s side with two short legs, ¡°Sister, what are you doing delicious?¡±


    ¡°Crab shell biscuits.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Is it biscuits made from crab shells?¡± Jiang Wu asked curiously. There are also crabs in the rivers of Wuling County. He has eaten those small river crabs before.


    ¡°You¡¯ll know later.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, checked the oven, felt that it was almost ready, and turned on the oven.


    Immediately, a gust of hot air came blowing over with the aroma.


    When the heat has dissipated, take the contents out of the oven. I saw plum-sized biscuits bulging and golden on the surface, but they were exactly the same as crab shells, no wonder they were called crab shell biscuits.


    In fact, this sesame seed cake tastes like a baked crab shell, which is extremely crispy.


    ¡°Everyone come and taste it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, she wanted to know everyone¡¯s reaction to this crab shell pancake.


    Everyone had been waiting for her words. Hearing the words, they all rushed over at an incredible speed, and then looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed. They seem to be running too fast? !


    But soon no one cared about this problem, and everyone got a crab shell biscuit.


    It¡¯s so hot. The sesame seed cakes just came out of the pan. Everyone poured their left hands into their right hands, but no one was willing to put down the sesame seed cakes.


    Take a quick bite.


    ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± Jiang Yunzhu just wanted to remind everyone not to worry, but it was too late.


    Everyone bit down, and they were all scalded by the hot air from the biscuits. This biscuit was actually empty in the middle.


    Everyone gasped, but they still chewed the biscuits in their mouths.


    The pork belly is overflowing with fat from the grill, and the rest is delicious. The dried mustard has a special sweet taste, coupled with a little chili flavor in the stuffing, the taste is absolutely amazing!


    ¡°It¡¯s delicious, sister, I still want to eat it.¡± Jiang Wu stuffed a sesame seed cake into his mouth and said eagerly with his mouth puffed out.


    Others felt the same way. This biscuit is really delicious. I really don¡¯t know how Jiang Yunzhu made it.


    Of course it is delicious. In history, two emperors were conquered by this kind of biscuits. Qianlong even called this kind of biscuits ¡°Huangyin biscuits¡±. First, it looks a bit like Huangyin. Like degree.


    Seeing them like this, Jiang Yunzhu was relieved. The teahouse opened tomorrow, and they could sell this kind of crab shell biscuits. A mouthful of biscuits, a mouthful of tea, Tao Xingzhi once said, ¡°Eat it in your stomach, and enjoy boundless blessings together.¡±


    The author has something to say:


    ¡°Seeing him building a tall building, seeing him entertaining guests, seeing his building collapsed¡± from Kong Shangren¡¯s ¡°Peach Blossom Fan¡±

 Chapter 68

    March 8th, should open.


    On this day, everyone in Qishanju got up very early and started to get busy. They helped Jiang Yunzhu and Xue Jing to make snacks, reviewed how to make tea, and put melon seeds, peanut preserves and other things on plates¡­ everything was ready, and it was already bright outside.


    ¡°Boss.¡± Xue Jing took the last piece of dim sum out of the oven, feeling a little apprehensive.


    Opening a teahouse, they are opening a new one with heavy drums, and I don¡¯t know if there are any guests today.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t speak, and she was a little uncertain. The restaurant opened at noon, when the students across the street were leaving school, and the lion dance team made a fuss, which would naturally attract customers, but the teahouse had to open at the right time, when the students were all in class, and the street could be crowded. Usually nobody.


    But everything is ready, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± She took off her apron, adjusted her appearance in front of the water tank, and took the lead to go out.


    Opening the gate of Qishanju, many people were already surrounded outside.


    ¡°Boss Jiang, your teahouse opened today? Congratulations.¡± Seeing Jiang Yunzhu coming out, Miss Ye got off the carriage and said. As soon as she moved, the curtains of the several carriages behind were all lifted, and inside were the girls who used to eat at Qishanju.


    They all got out of the car and congratulated Jiang Yunzhu for the opening of the new store.


    There are so many delicate girls, they are beautiful and well-dressed, and they immediately become a beautiful scenery on the street.


    There is still a steady stream of carriages coming here from behind.


    ¡°Who are you? Thank you, thank you!¡± Jiang Yunzhu really didn¡¯t expect so many girls to come today.


    ¡°When your new store opened, we made an agreement to come and support you together. If anyone doesn¡¯t come, we won¡¯t allow her to come to your store for dinner and tea in the future!¡± The round-faced Miss Tao said jokingly.


    Hearing what she said, Jiang Yunzhu seemed to understand what was going on, and was extremely grateful in her heart.


    At this time, all the girls immediately started talking one after another, ¡°No, it¡¯s rare that there is a place like Qishanju for us to eat and play. If anyone doesn¡¯t come, don¡¯t come in the future.¡±


    ¡°Boss Jiang, you want to open a teahouse? Then can we come to your teahouse every day in the future?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s great. We can only come to Qishanju at noon and evening, and we have to leave after eating, so we can¡¯t talk properly. With the teahouse, we can come when we are free. This time we can have fun!¡±


    ¡°Boss Jiang, the new store opens today, is there anything delicious?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, why is that octopus ball gone? I haven¡¯t eaten enough yet.¡±


    ¡­


    All the girls sang and swallowed together, and Jiang Yunzhu felt the trouble of happiness. When they asked her together, she didn¡¯t know who to answer first.


    ¡°Boss Jiang, congratulations!¡± Compared with these girls, the words of the young masters next to him were relatively simple, and they were all words of congratulations.


    Jiang Yunzhu took a quick look and found that out of the ten young masters who were judges last time, seven of them came. Many of the rest are regular customers of her store, and they also came here to congratulate her when they heard that her new store opened today.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt warm in her heart, ¡°Thank you everyone for coming to join us. The new store opens today, and all tea and snacks are half price.¡± This was her temporary decision to repay everyone¡¯s kindness.


    When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered up, half price? Sure enough, they came to the right place today.


    At this time, the lion dance team danced, and the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers pushed the atmosphere to a climax.


    When it was time for the opening, Jiang Yunzhu climbed up the ladder, reached out and tore off the red cloth, revealing the three characters ¡°tea is not cold¡±.


    ¡°Okay!¡± Everyone cheered. I really don¡¯t know who wrote this word, but it is still amazing when I look at it again.


    ¡°The tea is not cold, ¡®the heart of a customer is always hot, and the tea is not cold when people leave¡¯. It is good to hear that the tea is not cold, and I feel comfortable. Boss Jiang, just call your teahouse name, and we will know how much you treat us. gone.¡±


    ¡°No, the tea is not cold, I hope we can meet here forever.¡±


    ¡°¡®Thousand cups of fine wine are hard to make a confidant, but a cup of clear tea can also be intoxicating¡¯. If the tea is not cold, we will not leave.¡±


    ¡­


    As expected of the young masters and young ladies who have studied, one person talked about his feelings, and the others followed immediately. Some young masters even looked at the young ladies while talking, wondering if they were talking about this teahouse. Still talking about people.


    It¡¯s all right, young man!


    ¡°Thank you for your love.¡± Another burst of firecrackers sounded, and Jiang Yunzhu thanked everyone.


    Beside her, Jiang Cheng, Chen Shi, Xue Jing, Xie Lian, Xie Chen and others were all there. The new store opened today, and Jiang Yunzhu took the opportunity to distribute benefits to everyone. Everyone was wearing brand new clothes, standing there laughing and talking.


    ¡°Congratulations, congratulations.¡± Everyone congratulated again.


    ¡°Everyone, please come in.¡± Jiang Yunzhu made a gesture of invitation, and everyone rushed into the store immediately. They wanted to see what the store was like and what delicious food it had.


    This store is almost a replica of Qishanju, which makes people look friendly. It¡¯s just that in the east corner, there are a few more rows of bookshelves and some paper and pens.


    ¡°You can look through these books at will.¡± Jiang Yunzhu explained, ¡°There are also these pens and papers. If you need them, you can also take them, as long as you don¡¯t take them out of the store or waste them on purpose.¡±


    After hearing this, everyone praised it again. This kind of teahouse is in line with their wishes, and they can chat here in the future.


    There were also those who didn¡¯t eat in the morning, just waiting to come to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s place for tea and snacks, and immediately began to look at the menus hanging on the wall.


    Tea, from ordinary green tea to top-quality Biluochun, is available here, and candied melon seeds are all available here. Of course, the most attractive thing for everyone is the dim sum in the store.


    The red bean cake with milk, they had eaten it earlier, it was delicious. They all know what cloud cakes, peanut cakes, osmanthus cakes, etc. are, but what are lotus root cakes, cotton cakes, and mincemeat cakes? By the way, there are also crab shell biscuits, biscuits made from crab shells?


    Everyone finds it novel, and can¡¯t wait to order a plate to try.


    In the end, I chose two dishes with difficulty, ordered a pot of tea, and waited anxiously.


    The tea was served quickly, and when everyone drank it, no matter if it was the cheapest tea or the top-grade Biluochun, they were all brewed just right, and the fragrance of the tea was overflowing.


    Of course, Jiang Yunzhu has learned how to make tea seriously before, not to mention these things, no matter how rare sparrow tongue and snow-topped greens are, she can make them 100% delicious.


    After only two sips of tea, the snacks were served.


    The lotus root cake can be made so thin, even thinner than the dragon beard cake, and the cake is full of the fragrance of lotus root, no wonder it is called the lotus root cake. Mincemeat Cake, filled with various dried and dried fruits, is fragrant and soft, but not greasy, really delicious.


    Sweet-scented osmanthus cake, cotton cake, cloud slice cake¡­every kind of cake is delicious, but the most special one is the crab shell cake.


    The freshly baked sesame seed cakes are exactly the same as crab shells, and they are crispy and refreshing after one bite.


    After eating too many sweet cakes, a fresh and spicy sesame seed cake suddenly comes, which has a special taste.


    Almost every table will order a crab shell biscuit, everyone is satisfied, and Xue Jing and others are also busy and happy.


    Little did they know, someone was looking at this side, burning with anger. It was Xie Yong, last time he wanted to put his account in the name of Xie Chen or Xie Lian, but Jiang Yunzhu refused and called the police.


    The police didn¡¯t care so much, they directly took him to jail, and said that when the family sent the money, he would let him go.


    Of course Xie Chen and Xie Lian would not give him money, so he has been kept in prison.


    But it had been so many days, and he only owed Qishanju forty-eight coins at that time. Seeing that there was no money to fish for, the cell boss released him.


    Xie Yong is now disheveled and unkempt, the first thing he does when he leaves the cell is to find Xie Chen to settle accounts with Xie Lian. This pair of unfilial brothers and sisters really had the heart to put him in prison for so many days and ignore him. He insisted on making them look good.


    So he came to Qishanju, and happened to see Xie Chen and Xie Lian standing there in brand new clothes, with smiles on their faces.


    How can Xie Yong not be angry, he is suffering in prison, but the two are enjoying happiness outside.


    He was about to rush into the teahouse and beat the two of them, but when he saw Jiang Yunzhu, he was a little scared, so he poohed on the ground, and went home crookedly.


    Xie Chen and Xie Lian didn¡¯t know that Xie Yong had come out of prison. After the business of the teahouse stabilized, Xie Chen left.


    It was already the eighth day of March, and the scientific examination was due in May. Now he had to hurry up and prepare for the examination.


    Jiang Yunzhu understood, let him rest assured.


    At night, Qishanju closed, and Xie Lian returned home with a food box. The food box contained snacks and vegetables that were not sold out in the store today. Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t want to waste it, so she bought some for her.


    Xie Lian has already eaten in the store, this box is for Xie Chen. She was carrying the food box, happy in her heart, and couldn¡¯t wait to go home, show Xie Chen what was in the food box, and let him eat.


    Back home, when she opened the door, she found that the door was unlocked. Xie Lian thought that Xie Chen had returned, so she walked briskly into the door.


    The room is very dark, Xie Chen didn¡¯t turn on the light?


    Xie Lian lit the lamp, but saw a person sitting in the room.


    Seeing that person¡¯s appearance clearly, Xie Lian¡¯s skin suddenly turned cold, and her whole body seemed to fall into an ice cellar, and the food box in her hand fell directly.


    Xie Yong caught the food box and said in a dark voice, ¡°What a good thing, it smells so good.¡±


    Opening the food box, I saw a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, a plate of twice-cooked pork, a bowl of white rice, and even three snacks.


    Xie Yong became more and more furious, ¡°You eat these every day, no wonder, you are all fat. But, have you forgotten that you still have a father, who is still suffering in prison!¡± In the last sentence, he It was drunk out of anger.


    Xie Lian was so frightened that her body shook like sifting chaff, like leaves falling in the wind.


    Xie Yong was very satisfied with her reaction, took a step back, and sat on the stool, ¡°What are you doing standing up, go, get me chopsticks.¡± He ate first, and then had fun with her after eating.


    Xie Lian didn¡¯t seem to hear what he said.


    ¡°Go soon?¡± Xie Yong raised his eyebrows.


    Xie Lian hurried out to get the chopsticks, and handed them to him with shaking hands. In the middle, the chopsticks almost fell to the ground.


    Xie Yong took it impatiently, ¡°Trash.¡± He cursed and started to gobble up the vegetables.


    Soon, he ate up two dishes and a bowl of rice.


    ¡°Water,¡± he said.


    Xie Lian picked up the kettle and poured him a glass of water.


    While drinking water and eating snacks, he looked Xie Lian up and down.


    Xie Lian wore a new light grass-colored long dress today. The girl has a slender waist and her skin is much fairer than before. With her big watery eyes, she is very beautiful.


    ¡°Just like your **** mother, she knows how to seduce men.¡± Xie Yong cursed, then suddenly pulled Xie Lian into his arms and touched her body.


    Xie Lian¡¯s eyes widened in horror, and she wanted to shout, but she couldn¡¯t.


    Her eyes slowly dimmed, and despair overwhelmed her like a sea.


    ¡°Don¡¯t shout, that¡¯s right, if you let your brother see it, he won¡¯t want you. If you let others see it, they will just call you cheap!¡± Xie Yong said proudly.


    At this time, his hand had reached into Xie Lian¡¯s clothes.


    At this moment, footsteps came from outside, ¡°Alian?¡± It was the voice of Xie Chen.


    Xie Lian burst into tears.


    Xie Yong cursed in a low voice, and reluctantly let go of Xie Lian, he was still a little apprehensive about his gratitude.


    Xie Lian was soft on the ground, curled up into a ball, like a small animal.


    When Xie Chen came in, he saw Xie Lian curled up there with tears all over his face, beside him, Xie Yong was full of anger.


    Xie Chen didn¡¯t know what almost happened just now, just like he didn¡¯t know what Xie Yong did to Xie Lian before, he just thought that Xie Yong beat and scolded Xie Lian again. He punched Xie Yong with a fist, ¡°I told you, don¡¯t touch Xie Lian.¡±


    His fists were precise and ruthless, Xie Yong didn¡¯t guard against his sudden attack, he was hit in the face and fell to the side.


    But soon, Xie Yong stood up, ¡°Okay, dare to hit me!¡± He picked up the pole next to him.


    Seeing this, Xie Chen pursed his lips and picked up the kitchen knife beside him.


    His face was extremely ferocious, as if he really wanted to fight Xie Yong desperately.


    Xie Yong looked at the kitchen knife and became timid, but he still said, ¡°Why, you want to chop your father? Try it.¡±


    Xie Chen clenched the kitchen knife in his hand, ¡°I said, don¡¯t touch Xie Lian.¡±


    ¡°You were all born by me, so I can¡¯t move? The father beats his son, and the official doesn¡¯t care about it.¡± Xie Yong said.


    ¡°What I owe you, I will pay you back.¡±


    Returning to the original question, Xie Yong gave a piss. It took him eight lifetimes of bad luck to give birth to such a rebellious son. Throwing away the pole, he went back to his room to sleep.


    Xie Chen put down the kitchen knife, and after a while he came back to his senses and went to help Xie Lian, ¡°Did he hit you?¡±


    Xie Lian threw herself into Xie Chen¡¯s arms, crying out of breath.


    Xie Chen took a cursory look at her body, and he didn¡¯t seem to be injured, so he was relieved.


    At night, it was time to go to bed, Xie Chen wanted to send Xie Lian back to the room, but Xie Lian held his hand firmly, no matter how much he comforted and persuaded him, it was useless.


    There was no way, Xie Chen let Xie Lian sleep on the bed, he moved a chair and sat there to accompany her.


    In the middle of the night, Xie Lian was awakened by a nightmare and subconsciously went to arrest people. Feeling that Xie Chen was beside her, she felt relieved. But after she lay down, looking at Xie Chen¡¯s tired face, she couldn¡¯t help crying again.


    She didn¡¯t want him to work so hard, but she was so scared!


    The next morning, Xie Yong got up early and scolded in the yard.


    Xie Lian grabbed Xie Chen¡¯s arm, shaking with fear.


    Xie Chen took her out the door directly.


    When the two arrived on the street, Xie Chen looked at the somewhat empty streets and felt that this could no longer be the case. Xie Lian cannot be under the same roof as Xie Yong, otherwise she will be afraid and he will not be able to study quietly.


    Go out to rent a house? It has been rented before, but when Xie Yong came to make trouble, they refused to rent it to him.


    What else can I do?


    Xie Chen looked at the vast sky, and said to Xie Lian, ¡°Otherwise, let¡¯s go to Beijing early.¡± He hasn¡¯t collected enough travel expenses, but he can earn money while walking.


    Xie Lian only held his hand tightly, she would go wherever he went, as long as he didn¡¯t leave her behind.


    Before the teahouse opened, Xie Chen brought Xie Lian here. Both of them were not in a good condition. Xie Chen had bloodshot eyes, Xie Lian seemed to have cried, and his eyes were still a little swollen.


    ¡°What happened?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked, and then asked Li He to bring a glass of milk and a little snack for each of them.


    Xie Chen opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn¡¯t say anything about Xie Yong. He had already troubled Jiang Yunzhu last time, and he didn¡¯t want to trouble her again.


    ¡°The scientific examination will be held in May, and I want to take Xie Lian to Beijing ahead of schedule.¡± He only said.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say we will start again in April?¡± Jiang Yunzhu was puzzled.


    ¡°It¡¯s better to go early, otherwise if something happens along the way, it will be troublesome if you are delayed.¡± Xie Chen said.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that what he said was also reasonable. In ancient times, many scholars fell ill and fell ill on the way to catch the exam. If you have more time, you don¡¯t have to hurry.


    ¡°You can decide for yourself. I will pay you and Xie Lian.¡± Jiang Yunzhu took out the abacus and started counting.


    Xie Chen wanted to say that Xie Lian¡¯s wages would be forfeited, and she would leave within a month of working. If she changed to another place, she would definitely not get a penny.


    But he also knew about Jiang Yunzhu, and she would definitely give it if she said so.


    In the end, he didn¡¯t speak, but silently kept this kindness in his heart.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu did the calculations, and the two of them had a total of one, two or three coins.


    ¡°So much?¡± Xie Chen was surprised.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Xie Lian is one of the top ten employees in my shop, so of course she should be paid more.¡± Jiang Yunzhu laughed.


    Xie Lian heard and looked at Jiang Yunzhu, her eyes became bright again, she was the first person to praise her like that. She really likes it and is very reluctant to leave here.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, took out the silver and handed it to Xie Chen.


    ¡°Thank you!¡± Xie Chen solemnly said.


    ¡°You deserve it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu only said.


    Xie Chen thought for a while, ¡°I¡¯ll give you the account of the teahouse yesterday, anyway, I won¡¯t be able to leave today.¡±


    ¡°Go to work, account for me¡­¡±


    Thank you for sticking to it.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°Then you guys eat this milk and snacks first, and then go to work.¡±


    Xie Chen ate with Xie Lian, and Xie Chen helped Jiang Yunzhu settle the accounts. The teahouse opened yesterday, and there are a lot of accounts.


    Xie Lian went to the kitchen at the back to work, and in her free time, she touched everything there nostalgicly, recalling the happy days spent here.


    Soon, the teahouse opened for business and customers came in.


    At that time, Xie Chen finished the account and handed the account to Jiang Yunzhu.


    The teahouse opened yesterday, and I made a total of two taels. It doesn¡¯t look like much, but it was half price yesterday.


    Thinking about it this way, I feel that the teahouse is very profitable.


    Jiang Yunzhu nodded with a smile, almost as she expected.


    At this time, Xie Chen and Xie Lian were leaving, Li He and the others knew that they were leaving, so they came out to see them off. Especially Xie Lian, we didn¡¯t get along for a long time, but we worked hard together and watched Qishanju get better and better. Now that she is leaving¡­ everyone is very reluctant.


    Xie Lian was also reluctant to part with them, and everyone reluctantly bid farewell.


    ¡°Bon Voyage.¡±


    ¡°Take care on the road.¡±


    ¡°If you have a chance in the future, you must come back and see us.¡±


    ¡­


    Qin Yao and Lin Yubai entered the teahouse, and when she heard this, she immediately stood there in a daze. Xie Chen wants to leave, bring Xie Lian to Beijing?


    Xie Chen and Xie Lian had bid farewell to everyone and walked outside. At this time, he saw Qin Yao.


    The eyes of the two were glued together.


    But in the end, Xie Chen took Xie Lian and left without looking back.


    Qin Yao stood there, at a loss.


    The Qin family also has a rice and grain shop in Wuling County, as well as a courtyard. In the courtyard, Qin Yao took out a purse and stood there hesitantly.


    Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and walked out with her purse in her hand.


    ¡°Ayao!¡± A person stopped her, it was Lin Yubai.


    Qin Yao looked up at him.


    ¡°Ayao, don¡¯t go.¡± Lin Yubai looked at the purse in her hand and said earnestly, ¡°Your father will not agree with you being together.¡±


    ¡°How do you know? If he gets the fame¡­¡±


    ¡°Unless he passes the exam, there will be no one in the court, and at most he will be released as a county magistrate. Your father is looking for the young master of He Zhizhou.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t marry him.¡± Qin Yao said angrily.


    ¡°Ayao, I¡­¡± Lin Yubai wanted to say something more, but Qin Yao had already left. He chased him out, and there was no sign of her.


    Qin Yao came to the street where Xie Chen lived and lingered there.


    At this time, Xie Yong happened to come out of the house and saw her. He remembered her, the lady from a rich family, it seemed that she was interested in Xie Chen.


    Thinking of this, Xie Yong felt resentful. The last time he heard the news, he was very happy for a long time, thinking that if Xie Chen could marry a rich man¡¯s daughter, he would be able to live a good life along with it.


    But with Xie Chen like this, even if he has money, he won¡¯t spend it on him.


    Looking at Qin Yao again, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, his skin is so tender that it seems that water can flow out with a pinch, and a thought that shouldn¡¯t have flashed through his mind. Good thing was interrupted last night, he¡¯s just now¡­


    Thinking of this, he walked towards Qin Yao.


    Qin Yao also remembered him, Xie Chen¡¯s father.


    ¡°Excuse me, is Mr. Xie at home? I have something to tell him.¡± Qin Yao lowered her head, not daring to look at Xie Yong, her face blushing.


    Xie Yong saw that his eyes were burning, ¡°here, I will take you to see him.¡±


    ¡°En.¡± Qin Yao¡¯s voice was like a mosquito.


    Xie Yong walked in front, she followed behind, and the two walked through the street one after the other.


    As for a family next to the street, Xie Lian was sitting in the yard, and happened to see two people passing by outside.


    After reacting for a while, she rushed towards the door, trying to stop Qin Yao and tell her that Xie Yong is not a good person.


    But when she opened her mouth, she couldn¡¯t make a sound. She was so anxious that she ran over there and slapped the wall, hoping to attract Qin Yao¡¯s attention.


    Qin Yao was so immersed in her own world that she didn¡¯t pay attention to the voice behind her.


    At this time, she entered Xie¡¯s house.


    Xie Yong saw Xie Lian behind him, and showed her a stern expression.


    Xie Lian was immediately frightened and limp there.


    Satisfied, Xie Yong closed the door with his backhand.


    Xie Lian leaned against the wall, her eyes blushing anxiously, but what should she do?


    Yes, go find Xie Chen. Xie Chen went to the academy just now, and asked her to wait for him at the neighbor¡¯s aunt¡¯s house first.


    She suddenly ran to the academy like crazy.


    Soon she arrived at the academy, looking at the shadowy houses, she stood there, crying with anxiety, there are so many houses, such a big place, where can she find Xie Chen.


    ¡°Boss, Xie Lian, she seems to be crying.¡± Li He was busy in the teahouse, and suddenly saw Xie Lian on the opposite street, and said to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked outside, it was indeed Xie Lian, what happened to her?


    ¡°What happened?¡± Jiang Yunzhu went out, walked up to Xie Lian, found that she was indeed crying, and asked gently.


    Hearing her voice, Xie Lian grabbed her hand as if she had found a savior, and whimpered.


    ¡°Where¡¯s your brother? You still want to find your brother.¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked tentatively.


    Xie Lian nodded and shook her head again, gesticulating with her hands.


    She was too anxious, and her gestures were messy, Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t guess what she wanted to say.


    Suddenly, she guessed, ¡°You, no, your family?¡±


    Xie Lian nodded, anxious and excited, and suddenly let out a hoarse voice, ¡°Help!¡± The voice was harsh and unpleasant like fingernails scratching the ground.


    ¡°Save?¡± Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart skipped a beat, who to save?


    At this time, Xie Lian suddenly thought of something and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve. The handkerchief was very well made, and there was a small Qin character embroidered on the corner. It was given to her by Qin Yao to wipe her tears last time. Said that this handkerchief was given to her.


    She received the gift for the first time and kept it with her very carefully.


    When Jiang Yunzhu saw the word Qin on the handkerchief, he immediately thought of a lot. Ever since she saw Qin Yao, she has always had a question in her heart, how could she become like in her dream, could it be¡­


    ¡°Your house?¡± She grabbed Xie Lian¡¯s hand and asked urgently.


    Xie Lian nodded immediately.


    ¡°Take me there quickly.¡±


    Xie Lian ran over there.


    Jiang Yunzhu followed for a few steps, then stopped suddenly, ¡°Wait for me, I¡¯ll be right back.¡± Then she turned back to Qishan Residence, and when she reached the backyard, she just saw Shen Fengming coming out of the house, she grabbed his hand and ran out.


    She thought just now that if something happened to her and Xie Lian, it would be difficult.


    Bringing Shen Fengming along is faster than calling those arresters, and it works.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t know why, but he quickly grabbed Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s hand.


    The two quickly returned to the street.


    Xie Lian was a little afraid of Shen Fengming, but seeing him holding Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s hand, she felt much more at ease, and hurried home.


    The author has something to say:


    ¡°Thousand cups of fine wine are hard to make a confidant, but a cup of tea can also be intoxicating¡± from the Internet

 Chapter 69

    The three of them arrived at Xie¡¯s house very quickly, the gate of Xie¡¯s house was closed, Shen Fengming kicked it open, and the three of them entered the yard.


    Xie Lian pointed at Xie Yong¡¯s room, trembling all over, but dared not go there.


    Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Fengming walked over, the door of the room was ajar, and the two could just see what was going on inside.


    On a broken bed, there was a woman leaning on her side. The woman was only showing the lower half of her dress, sobbing loudly.


    Beside the bed, there were two people, Lin Yubai and Xie Yong.


    At this time, Xie Yong was holding a belt in his hand, and the belt strangled Lin Yubai¡¯s neck, and strangled him on the bedpost.


    Lin Yubai held the belt with both hands, trying to break free, but he couldn¡¯t. His face had turned from red to purple, and he was about to die.


    ¡°Save¡­¡± Jiang Yunzhu wanted Shen Fengming to save someone.


    Shen Fengming had already jumped into the room, only to see a flash of a figure in the room, Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t see his movements clearly, and saw Xie Yong fly backwards, slammed into the wall hard, and fell down again.


    It was so sudden, Xie Yong lay on the ground with several broken ribs, but he didn¡¯t make a sound.


    Jiang Yunzhu hurried into the room and went to see Lin Yubai first. He was paralyzed on the ground, panting heavily, and seemed to be fine.


    Looking at the person on the bed again, Qin Yao was lying there with her hands and feet tied, her mouth was gagged with a rag, her face was full of tears, her face paled from crying.


    Jiang Yunzhu first took out the rag from her mouth, then untied the ropes on her hands and feet, and asked with concern, ¡°Are you okay?¡±


    ¡°Yubai?¡± Qin Yao rushed to the bedside to check on Lin Yubai¡¯s situation.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Lin Yubai said weakly.


    Qin Yao burst into tears.


    ¡°Don¡¯t cry, I¡¯m really fine.¡± Lin Yubai pulled the corner of his mouth, trying to show a smile, but because of the pain in his neck, he failed in the end.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu took out a handkerchief to Qin Yao, then looked at Lin Yubai, why is he here?


    It turned out that not long after Qin Yao went out, Lin Yubai went out to look for her. Not long after Xie Lian left, he found Xie¡¯s family. There was no answer when he knocked on the door, but he heard voices inside, so he knocked louder.


    This time someone came to open the door for him, it was Xie Yong.


    Xie Yong said that he had never seen Qin Yao, but Lin Yubai didn¡¯t believe it, and insisted on going in to check.


    Xie Yong was ruined again, and became angry from embarrassment, and wanted to kill Lin Yubai.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at Xie Yong, this person is really bad to the bone.


    At this time, Xie Yong came back to his senses, knowing that the matter had been exposed, he reluctantly walked out, trying to escape.


    Of course Shen Fengming would not let him escape, he picked up a chopstick from the table next to him and threw it towards Xie Yong.


    The chopsticks hit Xie Yong sideways, and Xie Yong flew forward, which shows its strength.


    Xie Yong lay there, out of breath for a long time.


    At this time, there were footsteps outside again, Xie Chen came back, and when he saw the broken door, his face immediately changed. Entering the courtyard, I saw Xie Lian standing aside tremblingly, Xie Yong lying on the ground, and in the room, Qin Yao was lying on Xie Yong¡¯s bed and weeping, Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Fengming were standing next to him, Lin Yubai was sitting on the ground, his neck There is a purple strangle mark on it.


    His mind went blank, not knowing what had happened.


    Seeing him coming, Xie Lian immediately found the backbone and gestured with shaking hands.


    The two brothers and sisters have lived together for more than ten years, Xie Chen quickly understood what Xie Lian meant, Xie Yong actually wanted to treat Qin Yao¡­


    He was chilled all over, and then he was about to burst into tears. Xie Yong, how can, how dare! He couldn¡¯t imagine that if that kind of thing really happened, he¡­


    Suddenly, he entered the kitchen next to him and took out a kitchen knife from it. Years of hatred finally broke out at this moment. He never wanted to see Xie Yong again, he didn¡¯t have such a father.


    ¡°Don¡¯t!¡± Jiang Yunzhu hurriedly shouted, she knew that Xie Chen hated Xie Yong, but it was fine to leave this matter to the government, it was not worth it for him to get blood on his hands and ruin his future.


    When Xie Lian heard this, she quickly hugged Xie Chen.


    Xie Chen looked at Xie Yong with a distorted face. After a long time, he threw the kitchen knife aside and went into the room to check the situation of Qin Yao and Lin Yubai.


    The Yamen¡¯s arrest soon arrived and took Xie Yong away.


    This case couldn¡¯t be more clear. Xie Yong had mischievous intentions towards Qin Yao and wanted to kill Lin Yubai. Although he failed, it was still a felony. Mengzhi County sentenced him to 30 years in prison. Xie Yong is thirty-seven years old this year. For thirty years, he may not be able to get out in this lifetime.


    It has been two days since this incident, and everyone seems to have not recovered.


    Of course Xie Chen and Xie Lian didn¡¯t make it. For the past two days, Xie Chen has been taking care of Qin Yao.


    As for Lin Yubai, he wore a scarf-like thing around his neck, and he seemed to have returned to his previous appearance.


    ¡°Thank you Boss Jiang and this young master for saving your life.¡± Lin Yubai put the two boxes in front of Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°A small thank you is not a respect.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t help much.¡± Jiang Yunzhu looked at Shen Fengming, if he wanted to say thank you, he should thank him.


    Shen Fengming naturally wouldn¡¯t care about such things.


    Lin Yubai also looked at Shen Fengming and swallowed. He was always afraid of him before, but he never thought that he would save his life! It can be seen that this person is not so cruel and ruthless. Well, at least when he was with Jiang Yunzhu, he was quite easy to get along with.


    But those moves of his are so handsome, if I knew it earlier, he should also practice martial arts.


    It¡¯s all his father¡¯s fault. If he insists on letting him learn literature, he is not that material at all.


    The more he thought about it, the hotter Lin Yubai¡¯s heart became. He carefully asked Shen Fengming, ¡°Mr. Shen, do you think there is still time for me to practice martial arts?¡±


    Shen Fengming looked him up and down.


    Lin Yubai resisted the pressure and stood up straight.


    ¡°The aptitude is too poor, it¡¯s hard to be effective.¡± Shen Fengming said. According to his judgment standard, he is not qualified to join Qilin Guard¡¯s reserve team.


    Lin Yubai just stayed there. Has this Governor Shen always spoken so straightforwardly?


    Jiang Yunzhu listened to him and almost laughed out loud. She covered her mouth with her hands, her eyebrows and eyes curved.


    When Shen Fengming saw her like this, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes.


    Lin Yubai looked at Jiang Yunzhu, then at Shen Fengming, and sighed, why is he always the one who gets hurt!


    Jiang Yunzhu was so amused by his appearance that she wanted to laugh even more. She found that Lin Yubai was really a living treasure.


    Lin Yubai still didn¡¯t want to give up, and decided to find a master and start practicing martial arts when he returned home. After practicing martial arts¡­he glanced at Shen Fengming again, and suddenly wanted to join the Qilin Guard. When he saw Qilin Wei in the capital that day, he was so heroic and heroic, so proud of the world, besides being afraid, he was actually more admirable in his heart!


    But at that time, I felt that they were so far away from him.


    Now, he also wants to be that kind of person, although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go, this is the real man.


    He couldn¡¯t help his blood surging again.


    In this way, he seems to have become Shen Fengming¡¯s little fanboy. But having said that, Shen Fengming¡¯s movements are really impressive, Jiang Yunzhu shook his head and didn¡¯t hit him again.


    At this time, Xie Chen and Qin Yao walked in from the outside. After this incident, the relationship between the two seemed to be one step closer.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t dare to imagine what would have happened if she and Shen Fengming hadn¡¯t gone that day. Lin Yubai may die, I don¡¯t know if this is consistent with the dream, but Xie Chen will definitely go crazy, maybe, he will really kill Xie Yong, then¡­ his life will be ruined.


    There are also Qin Yao and Xie Lian.


    Fortunately, nothing happened.


    ¡°Thank you Miss Jiang and Mr. Shen.¡± Qin Yao saluted Jiang Yunzhu, she really thanked them. After finishing speaking, she took out two things from her sleeve and handed them to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°This is a piece of my heart.¡±


    Opening those two things, Jiang Yunzhu took a rough look, and it was a house deed and land deed on Qingfeng Road, Luzhou.


    Qin Yao explained, ¡°This is a property under my name, which is suitable for opening a restaurant. If Miss Jiang wants to¡­¡±


    Good guy, Qin Yao is still the Qin Yao she knew. In her dream, she was willing to give her anything, and she is still the same now. As soon as he made a move, it was a shop in Luzhou? And it is a shop that can open a restaurant, so it must be worth a lot.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t answer, she helped her, not for this.


    Qin Yao wanted to give it, but Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t want it. The two pushed and shoved for a while, and Lin Yubai said, ¡°Ah Yao, forget it.¡± His two boxes of gifts are still there and no one cares about them. He thinks that Jiang Yunzhu might help them. It¡¯s really not for these.


    Qin Yao was moved and took back the two things.


    ¡°Thank you Miss Jiang, Mr. Shen.¡± Xie Chen said to the two of them, he has nothing to repay them now, he can only keep this kindness in his heart.


    Xie Yong may have to stay in prison for the rest of his life, Xie Chen is much more relaxed now, but his brows are still furrowed, as if he has something on his mind.


    ¡°What are your plans next?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked him.


    Qin Yao heard it and looked at him.


    Xie Chen paused, ¡°I plan to wait until April before leaving for Beijing, Boss Jiang, A-Lian and I¡­¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s all come back to work.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, although, he can only work for twenty days.


    ¡°Thank you, Boss Jiang.¡± Xie Chen pursed his lips in thanks.


    Jiang Yunzhu waved her hand, she opened a new teahouse, she is short of staff now, it would be good if they come back.


    Xie Chen immediately went back to pick up Xie Lian, and then the two went to the kitchen, and the other picked up the ledger and started working.


    Qin Yao and Lin Yubai sat aside and ordered a pot of tea and two plates of dim sum.


    ¡°Ayao, are you really determined to do this?¡± Lin Yubai frowned and asked Qin Yao, he said about thanking Chen.


    Qin Yao looked at him, she actually vaguely knew his feelings for her. But they grew up together. When they were together, everyone who saw them said he was prettier than her, and they all liked him, including her mother¡­ In fact, she hated him the most when she was a child.


    But he is also really kind to her, he will give her whatever she wants, and even do all kinds of things for her.


    As she grew up, she didn¡¯t hate him anymore, but she really couldn¡¯t like him either.


    Xie Chen is different, she knew it the first time she saw him.


    ¡°Yubai¡­¡± Qin Yao hesitated to speak.


    Lin Yubai smiled. He knew the answer, so he hoped that she would always be happy. He didn¡¯t want the person he held in his hands to suffer.


    ¡°We¡¯ll still be friends from now on, right?¡± he asked.


    Qin Yao nodded, friend, forever.


    ¡°Hey, I don¡¯t know if he can pass the imperial examination in May. What if he fails the exam?¡± Lin Yubai sighed.


    Qin Yao also frowned upon hearing this.


    Here, Jiang Yunzhu stood behind the counter and saw the apricot blossoms in the backyard at a glance. Before he knew it, spring had come. No wonder the sales of **** milk in the store have been declining recently. It seems that it is time to get some new dishes.


    Just as she was thinking, Shen Fengming walked over.


    He was tall and tall, standing behind the counter with her, as if enclosing her in this narrow place.


    Jiang Yunzhu leaned on the counter, ¡°Mr. Shen?¡±


    ¡°I have something to tell you.¡± Shen Fengming said instead.


    ¡°What?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    Shen Fengming looked at Xie Chen over there who was settling accounts, ¡°It¡¯s about Xie Lian.¡± After that incident happened that day, he did a little research on Xie Yong, but when he found out about that incident, it seemed that Jiang Yunzhu and Xie Chen didn¡¯t know about it yet.


    Xie Lian, Jiang Yunzhu suddenly remembered that when Xie Lian asked her for help that day, she seemed to have spoken. The situation was urgent. Although she was surprised, she didn¡¯t have time to talk about it, so?


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± She got serious.


    Shen Fengming used very cryptic words to describe what Xie Yong did to Xie Lian. In fact, he didn¡¯t want to spoil her ears with such dirty things, but he felt that he should tell her.


    Jiang Yunzhu was furious when he heard this, this Xie Yong is simply inferior to a beast! Let him go to jail, it is really cheap for him.


    Her reaction was similar to what Shen Fengming thought, she didn¡¯t cover her face and ran away because she heard such a terrible thing or thought he was rude, she was just complaining for Xie Lian.


    Shen Fengming has seen many times worse than this, so he is not as angry as Jiang Yunzhu.


    After a long while, Jiang Yunzhu calmed down, a little embarrassed, should I tell Xie Chen about this matter? He will have an exam in May, if you tell him this kind of thing now, he will definitely blame himself, regret that he didn¡¯t protect Xie Lian well, and then he will hate Xie Yong.


    This will definitely affect his performance in the exam.


    But don¡¯t tell him¡­


    ¡°Do you think we should tell Xie Chen about this?¡± Jiang Yunzhu suddenly asked Shen Fengming.


    ¡°Perhaps, this should be decided by Xie Lian.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu suddenly realized, yes, what right does she have to decide this matter, let Xie Lian do it!


    ¡°She seems to be able to speak, but she dare not speak.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    ¡°Let me talk to her sometime.¡±


    ¡°Do you need help?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at Shen Fengming in surprise, can he help? Don¡¯t scare the little girl into tears.


    Of course Shen Fengming can help, and the Zhenfu Department has that kind of method that is specially aimed at people¡¯s psychological defense. Of course, the process must be uncomfortable.


    Jiang Yunzhu shook her head, but forget it, the little girl is pitiful enough.


    The two whispered behind the counter, Lin Yubai, Qin Yao and Xie Chen all saw it, some were envious, some were worried, but they all looked away tacitly.

 Chapter 70

    Only then did Jiang Yunzhu realize that when spring came, someone would come to sell wild vegetables.


    ¡°Girl, they are freshly picked wild vegetables in the morning. If you want them, you can take advantage of them.¡± Mrs. Zhang showed Jiang Yunzhu the wild vegetables in the basket, pleadingly.


    She is a villager in Zhangzhuang Village. Two years ago, her husband fell ill and passed away. There are old and young in the family. She has no choice but to dig up these wild vegetables and go to the city to see if anyone wants them.


    Before coming to Qishanju, she had been to many places, but no one bought her wild vegetables at all.


    Wealthy people look down on wild vegetables. Ordinary people, if they want to eat them, they can just dig them outside the county, and buy them?


    Mrs. Zhang was almost desperate.


    The wild vegetables are fresh and tender, green and shiny, each one is as long as a palm, with crystal dewdrops on it, Jiang Yunzhu fell in love with it at the first sight. After this winter, every day is either cabbage or radish, and finally there are green leafy vegetables.


    ¡°What wild vegetables are there?¡± she asked.


    ¡°I only dug shepherd¡¯s purse today, wild river celery and hornet¡¯s purse. If the girl wants it, you can tell me which one you want, and I¡¯ll dig it for you immediately.¡± Mrs. Zhang said hastily.


    When she said this, Jiang Yunzhu really remembered a lot of delicious food, ¡°Now do you have wild spinach, Chinese toon, willow buds and elm money?¡±


    ¡°Wild spinach, Chinese toon, and willow buds are all available. We have to wait two days for elm money, but now there are pagoda flowers.¡±


    Sophora japonica is also fine, ¡°How much are these?¡± Jiang Yunzhu pointed to the wild vegetables in the basket.


    Mrs. Zhang asked for a very low price. This basket only costs eight cents.


    Jiang Yunzhu directly gave her ten coins, asking her to deliver wild vegetables tomorrow. By the way, she wants those toon and willow buds too.


    ¡°Okay, okay, I will definitely come tomorrow, girl, please don¡¯t buy someone else¡¯s.¡± Mrs. Zhang said hastily.


    Ten coins is nothing to Jiang Yunzhu now, but to her, it can save her life.


    Mrs. Zhang left happily, and Li He moved those wild vegetables into the kitchen.


    ¡°Boss, can these vegetables be sold?¡± Xue Jing picked up a shepherd¡¯s purse and asked. The people who come to their store are all young men and ladies with some money at home, can they love to eat this kind of food? Let him eat, he doesn¡¯t even want to eat. He couldn¡¯t eat before, and he was afraid of eating this kind of food.


    As soon as he saw it, he felt sour water in his stomach.


    Li He, Huang Shi and the others were also not interested in these wild vegetables, so if they were asked to choose, white rice would go best with meat, even if they ate it every day, they wouldn¡¯t get tired of it.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled. It is precisely because of the special customer group in their store that this wild vegetable can be sold. If you want to be modern, you can¡¯t dig it if you want to eat it.


    Of course, if you want to put them on the dining table, you have to take care of them.


    Take this wasp dish for example, chop it up, then add meat stuffing and stir well, roll it up with bean skin, fry it in oil pan to shape it, take it out, cut it into oblique sections, and fry it in oil pan until the skin is golden.


    Put it on a plate and arrange it in a flower-like tower shape. Make a pot of sweet and sour soup here and pour it from above.


    The ruddy soup is dotted with flowers, the wasp wasp is crystal clear and green, and the bean skin is golden. If you put two flowers carved from white radish on the plate, the dish will be extraordinary immediately.


    Both Li He and Huang were dumbfounded, can wild vegetables do the same? It¡¯s meat and fried. They can eat a big bowl of wild vegetables like this.


    ¡°This actually spoils the taste of wild vegetables a bit.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. However, many people say that they love wild vegetables, but in fact they are all Ye Gong¡¯s favorite dragons. Basically, every wild vegetable has a special taste. If it is really so cold and served on the table, few people like to eat it. Otherwise, everyone would have added it to the normal recipe.


    This is already very good. It not only tastes the taste of spring, but also takes care of the tongue.


    Next, Xue Jing saw that Jiang Yunzhu made shepherd¡¯s purse tofu soup with high broth, mixed wild river celery with shredded chicken, and poured a large spoonful of rich red hot oil¡­


    Today, Qishanju has launched new dishes, including four or five kinds of dishes such as hornet vegetable rolls, shepherd¡¯s purse tofu soup, and cold river celery.


    Most of these young masters and ladies have heard of these wild vegetables, but few of them have eaten them.


    Wild vegetables should also be eaten in spring. I don¡¯t know who said this, and everyone immediately decided to try it.


    Hornet rolls, this dish is colorful, just like this colorful spring. Take a bite, it is crispy and delicious. The sweet and sour soup on the outside is perfectly blended with the flavors of bean skin, meat filling, and hornet vegetables. It is really delicious.


    Shepherd¡¯s purse tofu soup, pure and clear, takes a sip, but it is so delicious that people can¡¯t help but sigh, this is the taste of spring!


    There is also the shredded chicken mixed with river celery, which is spicy and crispy. Once you eat it, you can¡¯t stop it.


    So they were surprised to find that wild vegetables are so delicious. By the way, take it home and give it to your parents, so that they can try it too.


    Today¡¯s wild vegetable series has received unanimous praise from everyone, and the running water in the store has also grown a lot. Some people even wrote poems for the wild vegetables. Li He looked at it and didn¡¯t know whether to admire Jiang Yunzhu or lament that the wild vegetables are so beautiful when.


    Everyone is happy when they make money.


    Jiang Yunzhu deliberately kept two bundles of wild river celery, and decided to make dumplings for lunch, so she asked Xie Lian to come with her.


    Now there are two kitchens in the backyard, one bigger one is for living in the mountain, and the other one is smaller one for making snacks and making tea. At this time, the big kitchen is still busy, but the small kitchen is very quiet.


    Wild river celery tastes similar to modern celery, but because it grows near water, it is more fragrant and crisp. Finely chopped and mixed with minced meat, it has a special aroma. People who love it will love it to death, and those who hate this taste will throw it away like a shoe.


    Jiang Yunzhu is someone who likes this kind of taste, so she moved quickly, and soon a round dumpling was wrapped and placed there.


    Xie Lian¡¯s movements were not slow, and within a short while, she also made a dumpling.


    ¡°Do you like to eat dumplings?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked her casually.


    Xie Lian nodded, she liked it.


    ¡°Eat more later.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Xie Lian rolled her eyes. She really liked Qishanju and Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that the atmosphere was good, and said, ¡°Actually, you saved Qin Yao, Mr. Lin, and even your brother that day.¡±


    When mentioning this matter, Xie Lian froze directly.


    Jiang Yunzhu slowed down her tone, ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me, how can I save them? So the person they should thank is you. I know you are afraid of that person, but that person has already gone to prison, and he will never be able to hurt them. is you.¡±


    Xie Lian¡¯s eyes were red, and her hands were shaking into balls.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that it was better not to provoke her, but she still had to tell her something, ¡°No matter what happened before, it was not your fault.


    You can talk now, your brother or me, everyone likes you very much. ¡°


    After saying this, Jiang Yunzhu continued to bow her head to make dumplings.


    Xie Lian looked at her, can she speak? Won¡¯t they hate her?


    Xie Lian slowly regained her composure, but she didn¡¯t intend to speak. Jiang Yunzhu knew that this was very difficult for her. What should be said, she has already said, and the rest is left to time!


    The next day, Mrs. Zhang really sent more wild vegetables, as well as Chinese toon sprouts, wild spinach, sophora japonica, etc., so a few more dishes were added to the menu of Qishanju, and more people came. Try this tender wild vegetable.


    Also on this day, at the end of the day, the number of customers in the store gradually decreased, ¡°Excuse me, do you hire people here? I can do anything, and I don¡¯t need much money, as long as it is enough for our family to eat.¡± A thin man stood Ask Li He at the door.


    When Li He saw him, he thought of himself. Back then, he was like this too, standing humbly at the door with his wife and mother, just asking for a full meal.


    ¡°Wait here, I¡¯ll ask the boss.¡± Li He said.


    ¡°Thank you, thank you!¡± the man said gratefully.


    Li He went into the backyard and told Jiang Yunzhu about the matter.


    Jiang Yunzhu shook her head, she has no plans to hire anyone recently.


    Li He went out and told the man about it.


    The brilliance in the man¡¯s eyes seemed to disappear at once, he thanked Li He, staggered away, and asked other shops if they wanted to hire someone.


    Li He felt uncomfortable watching it, and he was lucky to be able to stay in Qishanju.


    The next day, the tea was not cold and was open for business. A woman with a child lingered at the door for a long time and walked to the door.


    ¡°Second Brother, do you have any leftovers in your store that you can give away?¡± the woman said, lowering her head in shame. She was not a beggar, but the child was really starving to death.


    Li He looked at the child in her arms. It seemed to be about one year old, with a big head and a small body. It seemed to be crying at this moment, but there was no cry, only a faint hum.


    ¡°This kid can¡¯t do this!¡± Li He said.


    The woman burst into tears immediately, but she couldn¡¯t help it.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go ask the boss first.¡± Li He entered the store and told Jiang Yunzhu about the outside affairs.


    ¡°Bring them some snacks and milk.¡± Jiang Yunzhu also saw the woman at the door and said.


    Li He immediately agreed to go. He specially picked out a plate of silky lotus root cake that was easy to digest for the woman.


    White and sweet lotus root silk cake, and two cups of milk, the woman will kneel down to Li He when she sees this kind of good thing, she dare not even think about it.


    ¡°Our boss gave it to you, not me.¡± Li He asked her to get up.


    The woman kowtowed to Jiang Yunzhu again from afar.


    ¡°Eat quickly!¡± Li He said.


    The woman just got up and took the lotus root silk cake and milk, not daring to eat it by herself, so she fed it to the child first. The child drank the milk and stretched his neck forward vigorously, wanting to drink more.


    The woman was afraid that he would choke, so she dared to give him a drink slowly.


    After finishing a glass of milk, the child¡¯s stomach bulged, and the child still wanted to drink it.


    ¡°Don¡¯t overwhelm your stomach,¡± Li He said. This kind of food looks like he is very hungry, and he must not be allowed to eat all the time.


    The woman quickly took the cup away.


    There was still a plate of lotus root cake and a glass of milk left. She put the lotus root cake in her **** and kept it for the children. She couldn¡¯t take the milk away, so she drank it.


    Li He thought for a while, then took out a string of money from his sleeve and gave it to her, ¡°That¡¯s all I can do for you.¡±


    The woman was very grateful, and then she took the money and left.


    Li He brought back the cup and plate, and asked Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Boss, more and more people are fleeing famine on the street recently, should we buy more food?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu also noticed this problem, ¡°They all escaped from Changfeng Mansion, right?¡±


    Li He nodded, ¡°If it were in previous years, it would be time to plant the land at this time, but I heard that there hasn¡¯t been a single drop of rain in Changfeng Mansion¡­¡±


    In the past two years, the Changfeng Mansion has been plagued by disasters, and waiting for the rain to start farming should be the last hope of many people. But now, seeing that this hope is gone, everyone can only come out to flee the famine.


    Moreover, there will definitely be more and more people like this. By then¡­ Li He was worried about living in the mountains, so he asked Jiang Yunzhu if he wanted to buy more food for storage.


    Jiang Yunzhu had already bought three batches of grain when he came, and spent almost all her money at that time, which should be enough for them to eat for a while. But she didn¡¯t want to be too special, so she said, ¡°Would you like to go to the grain store?¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Li He went out quickly.


    After a while, he ran back, looking anxious, ¡°Boss, hurry up and buy food, the price of food has already started to rise.¡±


    When he went to the grain store just now, some people in the store were complaining about the price of grain, and some people were grabbing grain. The owner of the store said that all the grain today is sold out, and they will not sell it, and the price may increase tomorrow!


    up so fast? Jiang Yunzhu was surprised, and then she took out ten taels of silver and asked Li He to buy grain.


    ¡°Boss, don¡¯t you want to buy more?¡± Li He asked.


    The grain of ten taels of silver can be eaten by ordinary people for a long time, but Keqi Shanju can use up one bag of rice and two bags of noodles a day, which seems to be not enough.


    ¡°You go first.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. He may not be able to buy these twelve taels! I usually see that there is a lot of grain in the grain store, but if everyone buys it, it will be sold out soon.


    Li He hurried over. After half an hour, he came back angrily, just as Jiang Yunzhu guessed, he only bought six taels of silver for grain.


    ¡°It¡¯s enough for us to eat for a while.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    In the next few days, there were more and more disaster victims on the streets of Wuling County. At first, everyone was willing to help them, but food prices kept rising. Some people said that the price kept rising because of these victims. The money spent on buying rice is not so enthusiastic about these victims.


    Some people even complained why the government didn¡¯t drive these refugees out.


    But something happened that day, which completely intensified the contradiction between the two.


    Several victims robbed a small restaurant. Although the police quickly arrested the victims, the people still started to be wary of those victims.


    The life of the victims is getting more and more difficult.


    On this day, Hu Butou came to the door.


    ¡°Hu Butou, what are you doing here?¡± Jiang Yunzhu came out and asked in person.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious. In the afternoon, the county magistrate invites you to the county government office. Don¡¯t worry, you are not the only one invited. The rich households and shopkeepers in Wuling County are all invited by the county magistrate.¡± Hu Tutou laughed.


    ¡°What is this for?¡± Jiang Yunzhu felt strange.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know either. I¡¯ll know when you go. Let me go. I have to go to another house to inform.¡± Hu Butou left quickly.


    In the afternoon, Jiang Yunzhu went to the county government office, only to see that the place was crowded with people. Who would dare not come if the county magistrate invites you.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that she was just a small character, so she found a place where no one was around and waited.


    About a quarter of an hour later, Mengzhi County came.


    Everyone saluted Mengzhi County.


    It¡¯s only been a month since I saw him. Meng Zhixian seems to be several years old, his eyes are bloodshot, and his expression is tired.


    He asked everyone to get up, and said, ¡°I want everyone to see something.¡± After speaking, he led everyone out.


    Everyone didn¡¯t know what he meant, but they could only keep up.


    Along the way, someone recognized that it seemed to be the way out of the city.


    Sure enough, soon, they arrived at the gate of the city. Someone with sharp eyes found that there seemed to be a lot more soldiers guarding the city gate than before.


    When they got out of the city gate, everyone stood there in a daze.


    All the victims, old and young, were all in ragged clothes, with yellow and emaciated faces.


    When they saw Meng Zhixian and others, they struggled to get up and begged the masters to give them a way out.


    ¡°You¡¯ve seen it all.¡± Meng Zhixian gritted his teeth and said. The disaster victims in the county are actually only a small part.


    People look at me, I look at you, there are those who sympathize, and those who are indifferent.


    Soon, Meng Zhixian explained his purpose for asking everyone to come today. He wanted to open a porridge shed outside the city to serve porridge. The only thing to do is to open a warehouse for disaster relief, and it needs the approval of the court, but these people are not from his Wuling County, and they are from Changfeng Mansion for disaster relief, so he has no reason to open a warehouse.


    He wanted all the rich families and shopkeepers in the county to donate a little silver or rice to help these common people.


    It turned out to be like this, some people are willing to donate a little, but some people feel that Mengzhi County is meddling in their own business.


    ¡°Master Zhixian, isn¡¯t Wuling Mine always short of people?¡± Someone asked Mengzhi County, if they were sent there, it would be fine.


    Mengzhi County held back his anger, ¡°Wuling Mine wants strong young people. If these victims can live, who wants to wait here to die.¡±


    No one talks anymore and starts donating.


    Some people donated one tael, some donated five taels, and the most donated twenty taels, but for those victims of the disaster, these moneys were a drop in the bucket.


    Meng Zhixian was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn¡¯t dare to show it. He did so under a lot of pressure. If he insisted again, if these wealthy households started to make trouble, he would not be able to be the county magistrate.


    ¡°I¡¯ll donate two hundred taels.¡± At this moment, someone said.


    Everyone looked at him one after another, but it was Shopkeeper Song of Baofulou.


    ¡°Master Zhixian, I don¡¯t have that much money with me, can you let me go back and get it?¡± Shopkeeper Song said.


    ¡°Of course.¡± Meng Zhixian treated him mildly.


    Shopkeeper Song looked at Jiang Yunzhu who was behind the crowd, and said with a smile, ¡°Qishanju and tea don¡¯t make money every day. I wonder how much Boss Jiang will donate this time?¡±


    As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Jiang Yunzhu.

 Chapter 71

    Jiang Yunzhu knew that he was deliberately trying to embarrass her, so she changed her mind and said, ¡°I will donate thirty taels.¡±


    Shopkeeper Song laughed, and pointed at Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Boss Jiang, your Qishanju is doing more business than my Baofulou. The last cooking competition, the magistrate personally decided for you, why now?¡± And Yu, Mengzhi County needs help now, but Jiang Yunzhu doesn¡¯t do anything?


    Sure enough, some seriousness flashed across Meng Zhixian¡¯s face.


    Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°Since it¡¯s a donation, it depends on one¡¯s own wishes. Although my thirty taels is not much, it is half of my savings. I don¡¯t know how much the shopkeeper Song¡¯s two hundred taels is because of his intentions?¡±


    Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, they almost forgot that Jiang Yunzhu really had no money. They also heard about her. They started from a small breakfast stall, and gradually rented a shop in Qishanju.


    As for whether the tea is not cold, she won the competition.


    Looking at it this way, it is really not easy for her to come up with thirty taels. As she said, in terms of intentions, she is a hundred times better than Shopkeeper Song.


    Mengzhi County turned this corner and praised Jiang Yunzhu very much. Among the people present, no matter whether they are rich or not, who can do what she does? He suddenly felt a little emotional, this girl Jiang Yunzhu is really extraordinary.


    ¡°How could you only have sixty taels of savings!¡± Shopkeeper Song said angrily when asked.


    ¡°My Qishanju has only been open for more than a month. Everyone can estimate how much money I have made. The tea is not cold. Although I don¡¯t need to decorate it, if I want to operate it, I have to invest a lot of money in the early stage.


    Shopkeeper Song thinks, how much savings should I have? ¡°Jiang Yunzhu asked unhurriedly.


    ¡°This¡­ isn¡¯t it that many customers have deposited money in your store?¡± Shopkeeper Song said unrelentingly.


    ¡°It¡¯s the guest¡¯s money, and it¡¯s just stored here. If I treat it as my own and spend it, the guest can rest assured?¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, scanning the surrounding people. There are quite a few people here who have saved money in Qishanju.


    When those people heard this, of course they felt that Jiang Yunzhu was right, and they all looked at shopkeeper Song suspiciously. After Qishanju created the membership system before, shopkeeper Song thought it was a good idea, so he also implemented this system in Baofulou.


    The effect is not better than Qishanju, but there are also many regular customers who have saved money.


    Now these old customers are very doubtful whether the money they have saved is among the money donated by Shopkeeper Song.


    ¡°The golden signboard of Baofulou, I will never do anything that harms the interests of customers. The two hundred taels was donated by me personally.¡± Shopkeeper Song quickly explained and guaranteed, lest people would ask him to refund the money.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu said coolly, ¡°Shopkeeper Song is really rich and powerful.¡±


    ¡°You¡­¡± Shopkeeper Song blushed with anger. He wanted to take the opportunity to ruin Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s reputation, but who would have thought that she would be so sharp-tongued and say that she donated thirty taels, which seemed to be better than his donation of two hundred taels. Sincerity is the same.


    ¡°Okay, everyone depends on their own will.¡± Meng Zhixian interrupted Shopkeeper Song.


    The donations continued, Meng Zhixian looked at Jiang Yunzhu, then looked at Shopkeeper Song, but suddenly an idea popped up in his mind, he wrote a pair of words for Jiang Yunzhu and Shopkeeper Song, not only to reward them, but also to encourage everyone to donate more in the future.


    Someone prepared a pen and paper, and Meng Zhixian splashed ink and wrote two lines of poems for Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about poverty, and don¡¯t care about wealth and honor.¡±


    Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Meng Zhixian obviously liked Jiang Yunzhu more.


    Many people snickered in their hearts, shopkeeper Song is really, after paying so much money to go in, he made a wedding dress for someone else.


    Shopkeeper Song was also furious, but he didn¡¯t dare to show it, so he could only thank Mengzhi County sincerely.


    Jiang Yunzhu also thanked Mengzhi County, and when he got that word, it was a surprise!


    There was such a small episode, everyone donated money, which was much more generous than before, and Mengzhi County also achieved his goal. He twisted his beard, thinking about how much rice the money could buy and how many disaster victims could be saved.


    After donating the money, everyone dispersed, Jiang Yunzhu walked back with the words, and decided to find a shop to frame the words and hang them in the store. After all, it is also the name of the county magistrate, and others can¡¯t get it if they want it.


    Seeing that they will reach Qishanju after two streets, there are many people gathered in front of them, blocking the way.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked into the crowd, and saw five or six people in the crowd, among them was a smeared woman, standing behind her was a boy and a girl, both of them were thirteen or fourteen years old, they looked exactly the same, with pretty eyebrows Big eyes, high nose and red lips, it looks like a pair of dragon and phoenix twins.


    The young man is thin and thin, but with this appearance, he looks rather glamorous. With this appearance, the young girl has an indescribable heroism. The two stood there together. Although they were wearing rags and their faces were bloodless, they were attractive enough.


    On the woman¡¯s side is a young man holding a folding fan, followed by three or four servant-like people.


    Here is a beautifully dressed woman, and behind her are several servants, who are strong and have fierce faces.


    ¡°Mrs. Qi, my son has already brought the money, so these two people have to follow me.¡± The son with the fan yelled.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Liang, I have already paid the money, and these two people are mine now.¡± The woman opposite said.


    ¡°I bought theirs before you.¡± Mr. Liang said angrily.


    ¡°But you didn¡¯t pay, so I¡¯ll pay first.¡± The woman on the opposite side said, smiling and waving the handkerchief in her hand at Mr. Liang, a pungent smell of makeup and powder dissipated immediately, ¡°I said Mr. Liang, you Isn¡¯t that why you bought them for that kind of thing? So, you give it to me, and I¡¯ll let you come to Hongxinglou for half a month later, how about that?¡±


    Mr. Liang seemed a little tempted, but still hummed, ¡°I¡¯m going to order them today!¡±


    They were still arguing there, and someone was talking beside them, and Jiang Yunzhu understood what was going on.


    It turns out that Mrs. Qi in the middle is a tooth of a person, and she bought the pair of siblings from the victims of the disaster. She was going to sell the pair of siblings to Mr. Liang, but the old bustard in Xinghualou in the middle took a fancy to the pair of siblings and paid a higher price, so Mrs. Qi sold the pair of siblings to her.


    Mr. Liang knew it, of course he didn¡¯t want to, so it didn¡¯t make a fuss.


    ¡°Mr. Liang has countless wives and concubines in his family. I heard that he has a lot of bookboys. He reads in the study, and he does that kind of thing with the bookboys in the study. Tsk tsk!¡± No wonder I have to part with this pair of siblings.


    The old bustard of Xinghualou wanted to buy this pair of siblings, which made the meaning even more obvious. This pair of siblings look exactly the same, and they are also good-looking. If they pick up guests together, many people will definitely want to try it out. They are two cash cows!


    Jiang Yunzhu frowned when she heard that, she knew that there were many disaster victims recently, and there were also many prostitutes, but this was the first time she met them.


    She looked at the pair of siblings.


    The older sister held her younger brother¡¯s hand tightly and stood in front of him.


    The younger brother lowered his head slightly, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.


    The elder sister¡¯s eyes were anxious, but she didn¡¯t give up. Instead, she looked around, trying to find a chance. She knew that no matter whose hands she and her brother fell into, they would not be able to escape the fate of becoming playthings. She can bear it, but she doesn¡¯t want her brother to be bullied like this.


    The people around were either watching the excitement, or gazing back and forth at their siblings with that disgusting look. The elder sister only felt desperate, until she met a pair of clear eyes, and there was disapproval in those eyes. Immediately, my sister looked at the man for help like a drowning man catching straw.


    Jiang Yunzhu frowned when she received the cry for help from the older sister¡¯s eyes. She asked a person next to her, ¡°How much is the selling price of this pair of siblings?¡±


    ¡°Originally it was ten taels, but later the old bustard of Xinghualou directly gave it to fifteen taels.¡± The man replied.


    Fifteen taels is really not cheap. I think Jiang Yunzhu was almost sold at six taels back then. She looks better than the siblings. It can only be said that in this kind of disaster year, sometimes two big living people are really worth less than once rice.


    At this time, Mr. Liang and the old bustard of Xinghualou had a dispute, and the old bust backed down again, letting Mr. Liang play in Xinghualou for nothing for a month, and Mr. Liang gave her up.


    Mr. Liang always likes the new and dislikes the old. He thinks that a month is about the same. He doesn¡¯t need to spend money, and he can avoid the trouble of dealing with people. What a great thing. Moreover, he felt that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a thief, and it might be more interesting to live in a flower house.


    They decided the fate of the siblings very easily, and the onlookers sighed.


    ¡°Everyone come to Xinghualou to play when you have free time. I¡¯ll make sure you¡¯re satisfied when I finish training the pair of siblings.¡±


    For the pair of siblings, the elder sister clenched her younger brother¡¯s hand even more tightly, but she didn¡¯t intend to give up. She looked at Jiang Yunzhu earnestly, and she begged her to save them. In the future, she will definitely repay her well.


    There was a ruthless look in the younger brother¡¯s dark eyes, but he lowered his head so no one could see it.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu made a decision. She separated from the crowd and said to Qi Pozi, ¡°I¡¯ll give you sixteen taels. How about selling these two people to me?¡±


    Everyone was stunned by her words, why did she rob people again?


    When Mr. Liang saw Jiang Yunzhu, his body collapsed in half. He had seen the owner of Qishanju before, but every time he caught a glimpse of a shadow from a distance, he couldn¡¯t see people clearly. It made him scratch his head every day. Unexpectedly, Met here today.


    Seeing Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s appearance clearly, he only felt that she was more beautiful than he thought.


    The procuress of Xinghualou also showed surprise. From her point of view, Jiang Yunzhu is definitely a top-notch beauty. In particular, the special temperament on her body makes people forget the vulgarity when they see it.


    Mrs. Qi stared at Jiang Yunzhu with triangular eyes. She wants to pay sixteen taels to buy someone?


    Of course she is willing to sell, but¡­


    ¡°How is it?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked Mrs. Qi directly.


    Mrs. Qi nodded. After what happened just now, she is no longer afraid of boiling water. They can fight as much as they like, and it is only reasonable that she can get more money.


    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll buy it, go, come with me to get the money.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Mrs. Qi looked at the bustard of Hualou.


    The old bustard of Hualou came to her senses and shouted anxiously, ¡°I¡¯ve already bought them.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at her, ¡°Didn¡¯t you also buy the person after increasing the price? Then I paid a higher price than you, and this person will naturally belong to me.¡±


    The bustard of Xinghualou was questioned.


    Mr. Liang hurriedly said, ¡°This person should belong to me.¡± If Jiang Yunzhu bought this person, he would get nothing, so he was anxious.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you just give up and don¡¯t want anyone anymore?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked him.


    ¡°If I sell it to the bustard, I will give up and sell it to you¡­¡±


    ¡°But you have already given up. Once a gentleman says something, it¡¯s hard to chase after a horse. Because of this, this person should be sold to you first. But you don¡¯t keep your promises yourself, so how can you let others keep their promises?¡±


    There is a paradox in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s words. If everyone keeps their promises, then Mr. Liang has indeed given up the right to buy. If everyone does not keep their promises, it is not Mr. Liang¡¯s turn to buy first, so Mr. Liang doesn¡¯t care what he says .


    Mr. Liang was choked up, and looked at the old bustard of Hualou.


    The old bustard in Hualou was so angry that the duck in his hand was about to fly?


    ¡°I pay seventeen taels.¡± She said, Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t want to compare prices, so she would compare with her.


    Jiang Yunzhu had all her savings, and she really only had about forty taels. No, she had no choice but to give up.


    At this time, someone suddenly asked, ¡°Boss Jiang, what you are holding is the words written by the county magistrate just now?¡± It was a woman, about thirty years old, who was the owner of a furniture store in the county. She came over just now, and after hearing the whole story, she also sympathized with the siblings, so she helped Jiang Yunzhu.


    She was intending to take the old bustard of Pressing Xinghualou in Mengzhi County.


    Sure enough, the old bustard of Hualou¡¯s complexion changed drastically when he heard it. What did the county magistrate write to Jiang Yunzhu?


    Jiang Yunzhu understood the woman¡¯s kindness, so she nodded. Speaking of which, this word is also worth thirty taels!


    ¡°Mrs. Qi, it¡¯s up to you to say, who are you selling these two people to?¡± the woman said to Mrs. Qi again.


    Mrs. Qi does this kind of business, and she usually cheats as much as she can, and deceives as much as she can. She is most afraid of the people in the government. When she heard that the county magistrate actually wrote for Jiang Yunzhu, she immediately softened her body from fright, and said, ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯d better sell it.¡± Give it to the girl.¡±


    The old bustard of Hualou was a little unconvinced, but she didn¡¯t say anything in the end, so Jiang Yunzhu bought the pair of siblings at a price of sixteen taels of silver.


    He took people back to Qishanju, and gave the money to Mrs. Qi, but Mrs. Qi didn¡¯t stay for a moment, leaving the two people¡¯s contract of sale, turned around and left, leaving the pair of siblings and Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the deed of prostitution, her sister should be called He Ying, and her younger brother¡¯s name should be He Hong.


    ¡°Thank you for saving my life, Miss.¡± He Ying immediately knelt down on the ground.


    He Hong paused, then fell to his knees.


    ¡°Get up.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, a little melancholy, but she really didn¡¯t intend to buy someone. However, if you buy it, you will buy it.


    At this time, Mrs. Chen and others came out and looked at He Ying and He Ying in surprise. This pair of siblings looks really good.


    Jiang Yunzhu introduced each other to each other.


    As for how to arrange the two, Jiang Yunzhu meant to ask them to help in the store, but Chen Shi suddenly found her. She meant that since she bought He Ying, it would be better to be her maid, so that she would not have to do many things by herself up.


    Maid? Jiang Yunzhu was startled, but still refused.


    But He Ying heard about this from nowhere, and took the initiative to find Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°I am willing to serve the girl!¡± She knelt down and kowtow respectfully.

 Chapter 72

    The next morning, when Jiang Yunzhu woke up, He Ying had prepared hot water for her.


    Jiang Yunzhu brushed her teeth, He Ying took advantage of this time to tidy up her house, she washed her face, He Ying handed her a towel¡­


    Soon, Jiang Yunzhu felt that it was really nice to have someone to help with the work.


    She also acquiesced that He Ying stayed by her side.


    He Ying regards Jiang Yunzhu as a savior, and takes care of everything about her, and naturally takes care of her meticulously.


    The tea was not cold, and Jiang Yunzhu had asked someone to frame the words of Mengzhi County, and hung them in the most conspicuous place in the shop.


    At this time, she was leaning on the counter, looking at the words.


    At this time, He Ying brought her a cup of tea, the tea was neither hot nor cold, and the temperature was just right.


    He Ying has a heart, Jiang Yunzhu has been a maid for several years in her dream, of course she knows the difference between doing her best and being passive.


    At this time, Shen Fengming came in from the back and stood behind the counter, seeming to enclose Jiang Yunzhu inside again.


    Jiang Yunzhu has gotten used to it in the past two days, about the fact that he likes to stand at the counter.


    Drinking the tea in her hand, she suddenly thought, Shen Fengming must have been hugged by Shen Fengming in Shen¡¯s residence, and when he came to her place, he had to do everything by himself?


    Now I have a maid¡­ ¡°Do you need someone?¡± She asked him.


    She leaned there leisurely, sipping tea, and the tea touched her lips, moist.


    Shen Fengming looked at her lips, and suddenly wanted to drink tea.


    Jiang Yunzhu seemed to have a feeling, and said to He Ying, ¡°Pour another cup of tea.¡±


    He Ying quickly poured another cup of tea and brought it to Shen Fengming.


    Shen Fengming took it, but didn¡¯t drink it, and leaned against the counter with Jiang Yunzhu holding the teacup. He understood what Jiang Yunzhu meant when he asked him just now. In fact, he didn¡¯t need anyone to serve him, but, he looked at He Hong¡­


    He Hong was cleaning the table at this moment. After Jiang Yunzhu bought him and He Ying back yesterday, he bought a new suit for each of them. With so much clothing, coupled with his gorgeous appearance, it is easy for people to lower their defenses against him.


    But Shen Fengming knew that he had killed someone before.


    Yesterday Jiang Yunzhu brought the two of them back. He Ying was okay. He Hong, based on his intuition, he felt that there was something wrong with him. Immediately, he asked someone to check the two siblings.


    This morning, the guards reported that these two people were the sons and daughters of a wealthy family in Raoquan County, Changfeng Prefecture. The local drought, a few days ago, the victims rioted, robbed He¡¯s house, and killed Mr. He. The two had no choice but to escape with their mother.


    The two of them, including their mother, have not suffered much. It can be said that they have seen all the hardships and hardships of the world and suffered countless setbacks on the way to escape the disaster.


    And because of their outstanding looks, when they were about to leave Changfeng Mansion, they met a group of robbers who wanted to rob both money and sex.


    In the bedroom, He Hong killed the leader of the robbers, set fire to the robbers¡¯ lair, and directly or indirectly killed more than a dozen people.


    Those robbers deserved to die, but Ho Hong¡¯s hands were stained with blood¡­ Shen Fengming actually didn¡¯t want him to stay with Jiang Yunzhu. Now that Jiang Yunzhu brought it up, he thought for a while and said, ¡°Need.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu was stunned for a moment, called He Hong over, and said to him, ¡°Are you willing to follow Mr. Shen?¡±


    He Hong was terrified, he didn¡¯t dare to look at Shen Fengming at all. Yesterday he and Shen Fengming briefly looked at each other, and that feeling made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice abyss until now. It was as if Shen Fengming had seen through all of his dirty and despicable past.


    Is he going to follow Shen Fengming?


    ¡°Girl.¡± He Ying came over at this moment, worried and authentic. This Mr. Shen seemed much more difficult to get along with than Jiang Yunzhu, and she was afraid that He Hong would not be able to serve him well.


    But He Hong suddenly fell to his knees and said, ¡°I am willing.¡± To be honest, he didn¡¯t want to stay in the shop to do these chores. After so many things happened, how should I put it, although Qishanju¡¯s life is very comfortable, but he found that he doesn¡¯t seem to like these now, nor does he want these things.


    Shen Fengming is different, he is dangerous, it even makes him feel trembling from the bottom of his heart, but he likes it!


    ¡°Brother.¡± He Ying was puzzled.


    He Hong looked up at her, she was different from him, she should stay by Miss Jiang¡¯s side.


    ¡°Sister, I¡¯m willing to follow Mr. Shen.¡± He Hong¡¯s voice was very firm, even faintly agitated.


    He Ying looked at him for a long time, and said, ¡°Then you take good care of Mr. Shen.¡± She has already seen that Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Fengming seem to have a close relationship, and serving Shen Fengming well is also repaying Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s kindness.


    He Hong understood, ¡°I will sacrifice my life for repayment!¡±


    When he said that, it seemed a little too much, just being a servant, there is no need to risk his life, He Ying smiled awkwardly, feeling that her brother had changed a bit along the way, and sometimes she couldn¡¯t figure out what he was thinking.


    He Hong formally followed Shen Fengming, and Shen Fengming felt that he was actually quite suitable to be an agent of the Qilin Guard. After that kind of thing happened, he didn¡¯t recover from a setback, nor did he become frantic. He just fell in love with the feeling of being on the tip of a knife. This kind of person is naturally suitable to be a spy.


    Walking beside the abyss all the time, if you are not careful, you will be exposed by others, and you will never be able to recover.


    He was going to observe He Hong for a while, and if he really had that kind of talent, he wouldn¡¯t mind giving him a chance.


    At this moment, Qin Yao and Lin Yubai walked in. Seeing Jiang Yunzhu there, the two walked straight over. After getting along these days, they found that Jiang Yunzhu was really a very good person, so they became friends with her.


    They naturally saw He Ying and He Hong, and then everyone naturally talked about the victims outside.


    ¡°Is there no disaster relief in Changfeng Mansion?¡± Qin Yao asked.


    ¡°Changfeng Mansion has suffered a severe drought for two consecutive years, which has almost exhausted the people¡¯s money. Now the whole mansion is full of disaster victims waiting for relief. Even if the imperial court wants to save them, it will be very difficult!¡± Lin Yubai quietly looked at Shen Fengming and said.


    I still remember that when he went to Changfeng Mansion last year, he killed countless people.


    This year, the officials of Changfeng Mansion are also very brave, but the disaster is too serious.


    ¡°Then what should we do now?¡± Qin Yao frowned.


    ¡°We can only save as much as possible, and then let the people fend for themselves. Haven¡¯t you noticed that there are many victims in Luzhou now? Maybe it¡¯s because of the imperial court¡¯s acquiescence.¡± Lin Yubai said.


    Qin Yao sighed, these days, she has also seen many disaster victims, it is really too miserable!


    Speaking of this matter, Jiang Yunzhu has also been thinking these days, these disaster victims¡­ now is just the beginning, and I don¡¯t know what will happen in the future.


    Due to the recent soaring food prices, the number of customers who come to her restaurant has decreased a lot, and everyone seems to have to tighten their belts to live.


    While the few people were chatting, a man wearing brown embroidered brocade and dark embroidered blessing patterns came in outside, followed by a man who looked like a housekeeper.


    When the man saw Qin Yao, he strode over, ¡°Ah Yao!¡± he said.


    Qin Yao turned her head and saw him, her body froze immediately, and she didn¡¯t call out until the man came up to her, ¡°Father.¡±


    ¡°Follow me back to Luzhou.¡± Qin Zhen said with a serious face.


    ¡°Father, I¡­¡± Of course Qin Yao was reluctant to leave, Xie Chen was going to Beijing in eight days, and she didn¡¯t want to go anywhere in these eight days, so she changed the subject, ¡°Why did you come in person?¡± She asked.


    ¡°Two days ago, Zhizhou He sent someone to propose a marriage. I¡¯ll take you home. You¡¯ve had enough fun outside. It¡¯s time to get married.¡±


    After Qin Yao heard this, her mind went blank, she was angry and wronged, ¡°Father, I said before that I don¡¯t like He Qing, that person is a jerk, and he once, once molested me, how could I marry him!¡±


    Lin Yubai listened beside him, and said, ¡°Uncle Qin, I can testify to this, that He Qing is really not a good person.¡±


    ¡°Then who do you want to marry?¡± Qin Zhen asked.


    Qin Yao bit her lips and remained silent.


    ¡°Do you want to marry that poor scholar?¡± Qin Zhen suddenly shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. I raised you so much, not for you to be a man.¡±


    What he said was a bit too much, Qin Yao opened her eyes wide, looked at him in disbelief, and suddenly tears rolled down, then why did he raise her so much? In order to push her into the fire pit and make the Qin family richer?


    Qin Zhen felt that what he said just now was a bit exaggerated. These days, a large number of victims of disasters flooded into Luzhou. As one of the top grain merchants in Luzhou, he also endured a lot of pressure. Making money, he must be making money, but he has no one in the court, making so much money, like a piece of delicious fat, everyone wants to take a bite.


    These days, he has often sent money to various yamen, just for safety.


    How could Qin Yao not understand? Only when she marries He Qing can their family be rich forever.


    ¡°If I don¡¯t marry, I won¡¯t marry even if I die.¡± Qin Yao said suddenly.


    Qin Zhen was furious, ¡°It¡¯s up to you.¡± Then, he winked at the housekeeper. The butler clapped his hands, and immediately came in a few servants with big arms and round waists. They said to Qin Yao, ¡°Miss, I offended you.¡± After saying that, they went to pull Qin Yao.


    Qin Yao, a little girl, was quickly restrained no matter how she was their opponent.


    ¡°Uncle Qin, don¡¯t be like this, let go of A Yao, let¡¯s have a good talk.¡± Lin Yubai wanted to save Qin Yao, but he was not a match for those strong servants. At this time, he regretted again that he had not practiced martial arts in his early years. Otherwise, like Dudu Shen, who would dare to bully Qin Yao with every punch.


    ¡°This matter is a family matter, Mr. Lin should leave it alone.¡± Qin Zhen didn¡¯t want to offend Lin Yubai, or rather, he didn¡¯t want to offend the Lin family, so he gave Lin Yubai some face.


    ¡°But Ayao is my friend.¡± Lin Yubai couldn¡¯t ignore it.


    Qin Zhen didn¡¯t want to pay attention to him anymore, and took Qin Yao out.


    ¡°Let go of me, Dad, do you really want to do this? Well, then the He family can only marry my corpse.¡± Qin Yao cried.


    Qin Zhen¡¯s expression was serious, he paused for a moment, and then waved his hand to let people continue to lead Qin Yao out.


    Lin Yubai pulled Qin Yao, almost dying of anxiety. He thought that this kind of situation would happen, but he didn¡¯t expect it to come so soon!


    what to do? He actually wanted to say, let Qin Yao marry him. Maybe Qin Zhen would agree, but would Qin Yao agree?


    He was in a state of anxiety when suddenly a clear female voice said, ¡°Wait a minute, Boss Qin, are you interested in negotiating a deal?¡±


    Qin Zhen turned his head and saw that it was a beautiful girl who was speaking, and a young man was standing next to her. The young man just glanced at him casually, and he felt great pressure. And this girl stood next to this young master, her calmness and composure were not inferior to this young master¡¯s in the slightest.


    Qin Zhen has been in business for many years and has met countless people. Of course, he has a certain judgment. He stood there and asked, ¡°What kind of business do you want to discuss, girl?¡± Does she know who he is, so she dares to discuss business with him.


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to talk to him only because he knew his identity. It concerns all the disaster victims, is it a big business?

 Chapter 73

    Jiang Yunzhu also had a flash of inspiration. She knew that Qin Zhen wanted to marry the He family because he wanted to take advantage of the He family¡¯s power, but did he really borrow it?


    How could she remember that it was the He family who beat the Qin family to the bone in her dream!


    If a fat sheep wants a wolf to protect you in vain, isn¡¯t that a wolf entering the tiger¡¯s mouth? It also hurt Qin Yao.


    Of course, the wolf will not swallow you up, it will nibble at you little by little, making you a tool for it to make money.


    This is what happened in the Qin family¡¯s dream.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t want Qin Yao to be like this. Moreover, when she was thinking about those victims just now, she actually thought of a way to help them, but she had no capital.


    This matter can be done by Qin Zhen. If he succeeds, he will be able to make a profit, Qin Yao will be famous, and the victims of the disaster will be rescued.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought about her plan quickly, and found that there was no problem, she opened her mouth and said, ¡°Let go of Miss Qin first, I think it might be more appropriate for her to do this business.¡±


    Qin Zhen, Qin Yao and the others were amazed, Qin Yao will do it? She never does business.


    In the end, Qin Zhen waved his hand to let Qin Yao go, he wanted to see what Jiang Yunzhu wanted to say.


    ¡°Please sit down.¡± There were no customers in the store now, so Jiang Yunzhu picked a corner seat to invite Qin Zhen and others.


    Qin Zhen went over and sat down.


    Lin Yubai supported Qin Yao to sit on the other side.


    Jiang Yunzhu said to Shen Fengming, ¡°Mr. Shen, do you want to listen?¡± She invited Shen Fengming.


    Shen Fengming was also a little curious about what she wanted to say, so he nodded and sat there.


    Jiang Yunzhu sat next to him.


    ¡°What business?¡± Qin Zhen regretted it after sitting down. He felt that Jiang Yunzhu was playing tricks.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked around.


    Qin Zhen waved his hand and asked the housekeeper and others to retreat, He Ying and others also went aside, and only Jiang Yunzhu and others were left here.


    Jiang Yunzhu said directly, ¡°What does Boss Qin think of those disaster victims?¡±


    Qin Zhen didn¡¯t expect her to ask this question, but quickly said, ¡°It¡¯s very troublesome.¡± No, the officials of all sizes in Luzhou, including the common people, are annoyed by these disaster victims.


    ¡°But they are also laborers. In the past few days, disaster victims have come to my store from time to time, asking for a job. They don¡¯t want anything, just a full meal.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Qin Zhen sensed something, but he didn¡¯t understand, ¡°What¡¯s the use of me hiring so many people?¡±


    ¡°Create wasteland to farm, or plant trees. Boss Qin has noticed that the price of silk has been rising recently?¡± Jiang Yunzhu said this with a basis. In recent years, Xia Dynasty¡¯s maritime trade will have a big development. By then Countless exquisite silks are pulled overseas, and in exchange for boatloads of gold, silver, and spices, the price of silk will rise all the way.


    It is just in time to plant mulberry trees now.


    Hire people to plant trees for free with a full meal, and after two years, you will be able to raise silkworms and weave cloth, and earn high profits. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is also a profitable business. dry.


    Qin Zhen was in the grain business, so he really didn¡¯t pay attention to the matter of silk and silk. He waved and signaled the housekeeper to come over, and then gave him a few instructions in a low voice, and the housekeeper went out immediately.


    Qin Zhen thought about Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s words, and he almost understood what she meant. She wanted him to use the food to hire the victims to plant trees or open up wasteland. This idea seems absurd, but if you think about it carefully, it is feasible.


    Qin Zhen¡¯s first thought was to open up wasteland. In order to encourage the people to open up wasteland and cultivate land, the imperial court had promulgated a law that the fertile land obtained from open up wasteland in the wild could be owned by paying a small amount of tax to the government.


    Using food to hire disaster victims to work and get fertile land, I feel like I¡¯m making money!


    Moreover, he thought of more, now that food is in short supply, everyone is staring at him, if he hires disaster victims and runs out of food, they can¡¯t hold him, right?


    Maybe, you can get a good reputation.


    Of course, there are dangers in doing so. For example, do the victims accept this condition, and what should they do if they start a disturbance? Whether he knows how to fight chickens and eggs, he is not human inside and out. Also, the reaction of Luzhou officials and the court to this incident¡­


    At this time the butler came back, and he whispered something in Qin Zhen¡¯s ear.


    Qin Zhen showed a shocked expression.


    Jiang Yunzhu knew that it was time for him to hear about the maritime trade. From his perspective, he should be able to see how wise it is to plant mulberry trees now.


    Qin Zhen was able to make such a big business, so he naturally had his news network, and the housekeeper heard more than Jiang Yunzhu expected.


    Qin Zhen looked at Jiang Yunzhu in surprise, not knowing whether her suggestion of the mulberry tree was something she said casually when she saw the price increase of silk, or she also knew about the news.


    Moreover, she dared to talk to him directly about this matter. Is she confident, or is it fearless for those who don¡¯t know?


    Maybe Qin Zhen stared at Jiang Yunzhu for too long, suddenly, a cold gaze swept towards him, Qin Zhen shuddered, glanced at Shen Fengming quietly, and looked away.


    It¡¯s just that his heart is beating non-stop. If this matter can be done, how much profit will it be? How many times, ten times?


    At this moment, he has completely put aside the risk and only thinks about how much money he can make!


    Seeing him like that, Jiang Yunzhu knew it was done. ¡°Three times the profit, the capitalists dare to trample on all laws¡±, not to mention the fact that the profit is more than three times now.


    Qin Zhen suppressed his excitement and asked Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Miss Jiang, why did you say that this business requires Ayao?¡± He was still thinking about it.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°Otherwise, would Boss Qin be willing to come forward in person? Then there are some words, but they won¡¯t sound so good.¡±


    ¡°What does Miss Jiang mean?¡±


    ¡°The daughter of a grain merchant couldn¡¯t bear to see the victims go hungry. She hid her father¡¯s words and offered food to the victims on the condition that the victims plant trees for her; Of these two stories, which one does Boss Qin think the people like more?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked with a smile.


    Yes, she is doing good deeds, saving those victims, but good deeds must have rules. Are there still few stories about farmers and snakes in reality?


    Qin Zhen understood what she meant, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat. In the former, everyone will praise that girl and are willing to help her with work. In the latter, it is likely to cause trouble, and no one will be able to save him¡­


    He looked at Jiang Yunzhu again, feeling awe-inspiring in his heart. So, has she thought about this too?


    He no longer dared to underestimate Jiang Yunzhu.


    In fact, Jiang Yunzhu said this because of the reason she said, and another reason, that is, she wanted to help Qin Yao. If this matter is done well, Qin Yao will be famous in Luzhou, and then she will not be subject to Qin Town!


    Qin Yao next to him didn¡¯t quite understand, but Lin Yubai and Shen Fengming thought of this joint.


    Lin Yubai looked at Jiang Yunzhu with a complicated expression. How could she plan for Qin Yao like this? Qin Yao was lucky to meet her. He suddenly understood why Shen Fengming was willing to stay in this small place. If it was him¡­cough, he just wanted to be friends with Jiang Yunzhu, don¡¯t look at him like that.


    It¡¯s really not good, it¡¯s okay to be a younger brother!


    Shen Fengming was also very surprised that Jiang Yunzhu could come up with this method, which not only solved the problem of the victims, but also helped Qin Yao. He looked at her, and suddenly remembered that snowy day, he and her went to the top of the mountain to enjoy the snow, she pointed to the distant place, and said, ¡°I was thinking, hundreds of millions of years ago, maybe this place was a vast ocean.¡± At that time, he I knew that she had beautiful breasts.


    Qin Zhen quickly discussed the details of this matter with Jiang Yunzhu. First of all, this matter can be started in Wuling County first, and then promoted to other places depending on the situation. This has two advantages. One is that Wuling County is mountainous, and they plant mulberry trees here, which will not arouse suspicion from others.


    Otherwise, everyone will realize that the price of silk will increase, and everyone will plant mulberry trees. It will be a good thing if the price of silk does not fall by then.


    Second, this can create a role model effect, and then go to other counties at that time, with both experience and results, it will be convenient to operate.


    Then go to other counties, and don¡¯t plant all mulberry trees, otherwise the same problem as before. Moreover, they have all planted mulberry trees, and they may not find so many silkworm farmers by then.


    It will be much more convenient to open fertile land where fertile land can be opened, with various trees mixed in between. Mulberry trees are only planted in selected places.


    One by one, the two talked for an hour before almost finalizing the plan.


    At this time, Qin Zhendao said, ¡°This plan is still very huge. With my own ability, I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t do it. I want to contact the Tao family to do it together. I will be the master and they will be the assistant. What does Miss Jiang think?¡±


    The Tao family in Luzhou is a grain merchant almost as famous as the Qin family. It is indeed a lot easier for the two of them to be together.


    Jiang Yunzhu nodded, this is indeed safer.


    Then Qin Zhen asked another question, how many shares or how much money should be given to Jiang Yunzhu, after all, she was the one who proposed it, and the plan was also on her mind.


    In the end, Qin Zhen gave Jiang Yunzhu 5% of the shares, the remaining 95%, he took 50%, and the Tao family 40%. As for the remaining 5%, he There are uses.


    Jiang Yunzhu understood what it meant, and didn¡¯t want to delve into it.


    In fact, Qin Zhen was able to give her 5% of the shares, which was beyond her expectations. After all, she only came up with a plan. It¡¯s not that easy to do this. But once this plan is successful, the rewards she will get will definitely be huge.


    Of course Qin Zhen understood this. The reason why he gave Jiang Yunzhu the 5% of the shares was due to his own considerations. First of all, it must be Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s credit for proposing this plan, and then, all her suggestions hit the point, he thought, give her shares, if he encounters any problems in the future, if he comes to ask her for advice, she can also do her best.


    In this way, Qin Zhen immediately drew up a contract, signed it with Jiang Yunzhu and put his fingerprints on it, and then each of them got a copy and put it away properly.


    ¡°I¡¯m going back to Luzhou right now.¡± Qin Zhen stood up and said in a hurry.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go after dinner.¡± Jiang Yunzhu looked at the sky and said.


    Qin Zhen waved his hand, he couldn¡¯t wait for a moment.


    He was about to go out when he suddenly thought of Qin Yao again.


    ¡°Father, I won¡¯t go back.¡± Qin Yao muttered.


    ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll go back first and talk about your marriage after this matter is over,¡± Qin Zhen said.


    At that time, perhaps Xie Chen had already passed the imperial examination, and Qin Yao felt relieved.


    ¡°You go to the county government office first, come here, I will teach you how to say it.¡± Qin Zhen suddenly slapped his head and said, this matter has to be done first.


    Qin Yao went over, feeling a little apprehensive.


    Qin Zhen taught her all the words, seeing her half-knowledge, he doubted whether she could do this well.


    ¡°Just because Miss Qin is like this, she is the right candidate.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, Qin Yao actually has a pure heart. When she sees the victims, she will naturally show a concerned expression, and it is easy to win the favor of the victims.


    She doesn¡¯t understand them these plans, the better.


    Qin Zhen understood what she meant, but he was still worried¡­


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with A Yao.¡± Lin Yubai said.


    Now everything is safe.


    The county government of Wuling County and Mengzhi County raised a total of 1,200 taels of silver yesterday. Now that the price of rice is rising rapidly, it is estimated that this amount of money can be used for ten days. What about after ten days?


    Looking for someone to donate again? He was too embarrassed to speak.


    Difficult! He frowns.


    At this time, Qin Yao and Lin Yubai asked to see each other, and Qin Yao asked to see her in the name of the daughter of the Qin family.


    ¡°The Qin family, which Qin family?¡± Meng Zhixian suddenly remembered, could it be the Qin family from Changyuan Food Company?


    ¡°Please!¡± he said. He was looking for someone from the Qin family. It would be great if he could buy rice cheaper.


    Not long after Qin Yao came in and explained her intentions, Meng Zhixian couldn¡¯t believe her ears. She wanted to help the victims, but the condition was that the victims would help her plant trees?

 Chapter 74

    Oh, Qin Yao still wants to buy those barren hills.


    Those barren hills don¡¯t have iron ore, they don¡¯t produce anything, and they¡¯re useless at all.


    As for letting the victims do some work within their ability, that would be even better, so that they would not wander around and cause trouble when they are full.


    Mengzhi felt that this was a great thing, and he almost danced, ¡°Miss Qin, when will you start helping the victims?¡±


    ¡°Tomorrow.¡± Qin Yao said, sooner rather than later.


    ¡°Okay, then it¡¯s settled.¡±


    ¡°By the way, magistrate, what about the barren mountain?¡± Qin Yao asked again.


    ¡°Bring the map of this county.¡± Mengzhi County called out immediately.


    Someone brought the map of Wuling County, that is, the map, ¡°These gray parts are all unowned places. Where do you want Miss Qin to buy? They can be cheaper for you.¡± Meng County pointed to the map.


    Qin Zhen and Jiang Yunzhu had already researched in the store, where to buy barren hills, how many acres of mulberry forests to plant, and where to build a place for silkworm raising and spinning, so Qin Yao hesitated for a while, and marked two large areas with his hands .


    These two places are in the north of Wuling County, that is, the direction close to Changfeng Mansion. Then one is on the top and the other is on the bottom. They are horns of each other, which just divides the victims into two groups, which is convenient for disaster relief, and of course it is convenient for planting trees and building houses.


    ¡°Miss Qin has a heart.¡± Meng Zhixian admired, and then sold the two barren hills and the surrounding wasteland to Qin Yao at a 10% discount.


    Qin Yao paid the silver, a total of six hundred taels. Although the barren mountains and wasteland were cheap, she couldn¡¯t afford to buy too much, so she still spent a fortune. Of course, this little money is nothing in the eyes of the Qin family.


    Qin Yao took the title deed and left.


    Some people gave relief to the victims, and they returned an extra six hundred taels. Meng Zhixian felt that he could finally sleep well tonight.


    Back at Qishanju, Qin Zhen was overjoyed when he saw the land deed, and the plan had begun.


    Let the butler stay to assist Qin Yao, and he immediately rushed back to Luzhou to arrange everything.


    On the same day, the victims got the news that tomorrow morning, Beidahe and Sizhifeng would open porridge sheds. The victims were dubious, but hope is better than no hope. Everyone used their last strength to go to these two places.


    The next day, the victims got up early in the morning and looked around, wanting to see where someone gave away porridge. They really couldn¡¯t hold it anymore!


    In the morning light, a group of people came, and the leader turned out to be a girl. The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing an apricot dress, with lively eyes and kind eyes.


    Is this the person who wants to give up porridge? The victims all looked at Qin Yao, their eyes full of hope and pleading.


    Qin Yao also saw the tragic situation of the victims. The five or six-year-old children had arms as thin as firewood, and the old man could barely stand up.


    ¡°Hurry up, set up a porridge shed and make porridge.¡± Qin Yao said immediately.


    Butler Qin said, ¡°Miss, if you do this, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to explain to the master.¡± This is a scene that has been arranged long ago, to let everyone know that Qin Yao is helping them under pressure, so don¡¯t bite her back then.


    But Qin Yao hurriedly said, ¡°Let¡¯s boil the porridge first before we talk about this.¡± She was not acting at all, but the effect was surprisingly good, which is why Jiang Yunzhu asked her to come forward.


    ¡°It¡¯s been agreed a long time ago, to¡­¡± Butler Qin muttered.


    ¡°I¡¯ll talk about that later,¡± Qin Yao said.


    Qin Butler waved his hand reluctantly, and the people behind immediately moved into action, setting up a porridge shed and cooking porridge. They had already prepared, so they set up more than a dozen porridge sheds in an instant.


    Generations of white rice and sorghum rice are poured into the pot, and after a while, there is a fragrant porridge smell wafting out.


    All the victims stared at the cauldrons, swallowing from time to time.


    On the west side, there was a child who couldn¡¯t help crying. He was so hungry and wanted to eat porridge.


    ¡°Wait, just wait for the porridge.¡± His mother comforted him in a low voice.


    The child is too young to understand these things and just cry.


    Mother has nothing to do but coax her.


    At this time, someone handed over a cake, ¡°Let¡¯s give it to the child first.¡± It was Qin Yao. Seeing the child crying, she couldn¡¯t help but gave him a cake.


    The woman immediately choked up, ¡°Thank you, miss, thank you.¡± She saluted Qin Yao again and again to thank her.


    ¡°Get up, you¡¯re welcome.¡± Qin Yao waved his hand.


    Then the woman took the bread and fed it to the child.


    ¡°Girl, please give me a cake too, my mother is really dying.¡± A thin man came over, fell to his knees, and begged Qin Yao.


    Not far from him, an old woman lay there, breathing weakly.


    Qin Yao quickly gave him a cake.


    The man didn¡¯t bother to thank him, so he hurried back with the cake and fed it to the old woman.


    More and more people asked Qin Yao for cakes, and Qin Yao only hated herself for not bringing more dry food.


    At this time, the porridge was ready, and Butler Qin led the people to throw away the porridge.


    While giving up the porridge, he muttered, ¡°Everyone can only get one bowl of porridge a day. If you want to get more, you can plant trees next to it. If you plant five trees, you can get another bowl of porridge. If you plant ten trees, you can get two bowls of porridge.¡± Bowls can also be converted into silver coins.¡±


    Someone listened to his muttering, and immediately came to his spirits, and asked him what happened to this kind of tree?


    Butler Qin explained that he could dig a hole and plant trees on the nearby mountain. After the planting was completed, someone would get a note and come here to receive the porridge after someone checked and accepted it. It can also be converted into silver money, planting five trees for two pennies, the more you work, the more you get.


    It is not so easy to plant trees on barren hills. Try to dig a relatively large hole so that the ground is not too hard and the saplings will not grow well in the future.


    But this job, no one forces you, you can grind it slowly, unlike going to the mine, you have to keep moving the ore weighing more than one hundred catties, and you are not a strong young man, you can¡¯t do it at all.


    So immediately many people decided to plant trees.


    At this time, everyone also received porridge. The rice used in Qin Yaoshe¡¯s porridge is sorghum rice plus rice. There is a fragrance.


    On some cold spring mornings, after drinking such a bowl of hot porridge, I just feel warm on my body and seem to have strength all of a sudden.


    After drinking the porridge, someone immediately went to plant trees. Didn¡¯t you hear the housekeeper said that you can get more porridge if you have more porridge?


    The most important thing for a person is to have hope. With hope, you can persevere.


    The mountain was full of excitement.


    Seeing this, Meng Zhixian smiled gratifiedly. Of course, he also has something to do, and the 1,200 taels of charity money still needs to be used on the victims of the disaster. For those who can¡¯t even grow trees, the government is responsible for the porridge.


    With the two-pronged approach, although there are many victims in Wuling County, few died of starvation, which was almost unimaginable in the past.


    Drinking two or three meals of porridge a day, the health of these victims gradually improved, and some people went everywhere to find a way out.


    Planting trees can provide food, but after all, it is not a long-term solution. You still need to find a suitable job to do it.


    This is what Jiang Yunzhu meant. Planting trees is just to give these victims a buffer time so that they can slowly adapt to this place.


    What most of the victims actually lack is this buffering opportunity. At least they don¡¯t have to worry about starving to death by riding donkeys to find horses.


    And from the beginning to the end, the disaster victims worked and ate like normal people, so they would not have the feeling of being separated and abandoned, and it would be much easier for them to reintegrate into society.


    Unlike those people who were rescued by the government in the past, they gradually gave up on themselves, and just waited to receive that bowl of porridge every day, life was like death.


    This was something Mengzhi County didn¡¯t expect at the beginning. After he found out, he admired Qin Yao a lot. He wondered why Qin Yao asked these victims to plant trees. It turned out to be like this!


    These days, more and more porridge is being given away at any time, and Qin Yao¡¯s reputation is getting bigger and bigger. The disaster victims all knew her as a girl with a bodhisattva heart, and they were all very grateful to her. Many people who survived because of her set up longevity tablets for her and prayed for her sooner or later.


    During this time, Steward Qin will also choose some people who are smart or hardworking to stay. First, to manage the people, and second, after the victims of the disaster leave, someone will stay here to take care of the mulberry trees, and then raise silkworms and spin silk.


    There are still many people left behind, so everyone sees hope more and more.


    Everything is in order, some people leave from the barren hills, and new victims join. Beidahe and Sizhifeng are like two temporary resettlement sites for victims, welcoming and sending them away, while the barren hills and wasteland next to them slowly start to turn green.


    The chaos of selling people and fighting in the county suddenly decreased a lot, and the days seemed to be calm again. The people of Wuling County did not reject these victims so much, and everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.


    Mengzhi County can now sleep well every day.


    However, the magistrates of other counties couldn¡¯t sit still, and the problem of the victims could not be solved, and there was a big mess in the county.


    The county magistrate of Huayang County first found Qin Yao, hoping that she could also go to Huayang County to sell porridge. He Huayang County also has a lot of barren mountains and wasteland. If Qin Yao needs it, he can also sell it to her with a 20% discount, no, a 30% discount.


    At this time, Qin Zhen had already contacted everything. Originally, he also wanted to develop in other counties. This is why someone gave pillows to sleepy people.


    Immediately, he decided to plant porridge in Huayang County.


    This required Qin Yao to come forward, and at this time, it was already the end of March, Xie Chen and other students in the county had to pack their things and prepare to go to Beijing.


    It¡¯s amazing, Qin Yao used to think about Xie Chen¡¯s leaving every day, but since she started hosting the porridge, maybe it¡¯s because she¡¯s too busy, maybe it¡¯s the feeling of being needed, she actually likes this job very much, There is also a lot less sadness about parting.


    She used to be very afraid that Xie Chen would not pass the exam, then she really would have no chance with him.


    But now, she felt, no matter what his test results were, they could work hard together.


    This may be growth, from a girl in a boudoir to the young owner of Changyuan Liangxing, she has become more cheerful, more confident, and more capable.


    Seeing this, Qin Zhen also saw Qin Yao often sticking together with Jiang Yunzhu, and later realized why Jiang Yunzhu had to ask Qin Yao to come forward to do this. She was all for her own good, otherwise, it would be the same to choose someone else of.


    He couldn¡¯t laugh or cry, he was calculated, now that Qin Yao has become a living Bodhisattva in the hearts of the victims, he can no longer force her to marry. But it also feels good. He only has Qin Yao and Qin Lu. Qin Lu is still young, and he plans to let him take the imperial examination. If Qin Yao can really achieve something, he will be happy to see it.


    I¡¯m afraid his silly girl doesn¡¯t know how lucky she is to meet Jiang Yunzhu.


    Just for this, he decided to give Jiang Yunzhu a gift in a few days.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know Qin Zhen¡¯s thoughts, but this day, she received an invitation card from Xu Qingshan. It turned out that he was going to get married in two days and invited her and everyone in the Jiang family to his wedding banquet.

 Chapter 75

    ¡°Mother, Brother Xu is getting married?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked Chen Shi. She hasn¡¯t been back to Changshi Village for a long time, but Mrs. Chen often goes back. She should know something about it.


    Chen Shi said, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve seen that girl is interested in Qingshan a long time ago, I didn¡¯t expect it to be so soon. It seems that you, Uncle Xu, hope that the two can get married soon, after all, Qingshan is not young.


    Just in time for Gu Yanzhou to go to Beijing, he wanted to finish things before he left. ¡°


    Jiang Yunzhu understood, it turned out to be like this, no wonder it was so sudden.


    ¡°The girl?¡± she asked.


    ¡°My name is Hui Niang, and my surname is Su. Their family also escaped from Changfeng Mansion.¡± Speaking of the fate between Su Hui Niang and Xu Qingshan, Chen became interested.


    About twenty days ago, Su Huiniang and her parents fled famine and came to Wuling County. At that time, it was raining coldly, but Father Su fell ill and was lying in the wilderness. Mrs. Su and Su Huiniang stood by the roadside to watch over him.


    At this time, Xu Qingshan was passing by in a donkey cart, and Su Huiniang¡¯s mother and daughter came over immediately and begged him for help.


    Xu Qingshan saw that Papa Su¡¯s condition was not good, so he immediately got the three of them into the car and sent Papa Su to the hospital.


    The doctor said, thankfully it was delivered early, otherwise Father Su¡¯s life might have been lost.


    Su Huiniang¡¯s mother and daughter are very grateful to Xu Qingshan.


    Just grabbed the medicine, where to boil it? Also, where are they staying tonight?


    Mrs. Su then asked Xu Qingshan if there were any cheap houses for rent nearby.


    There are many empty houses in Changshi Village, and now there are many people from other places fleeing famine, and the government doesn¡¯t care about that many, so Xu Qingshan rented a house for them.


    After going back and forth, the two families became acquainted.


    Su Huiniang is seventeen years old this year. The Su family only has one daughter. They originally wanted to recruit a son-in-law to take care of them, so they have not settled on her for a long time.


    This time it was Su Huiniang herself who fell in love with Xu Qingshan. The couple of the Su family felt that Xu Qingshan was a good character, good-looking, and hardworking. There was only one father in the family, and the population was simple, so they changed their minds and agreed. Su Huiniang is married.


    Xu Qingshan is 20 years old this year, and Xu¡¯s father has been worrying about his marriage, this time the Su family took the initiative to raise it, which made him very happy.


    Immediately, the two families decided to get engaged, and discussed getting them married as soon as possible. After all, the two children are not young, and they are eager to hug their grandchildren!


    ¡°Father Su is a scholar. I have met Su Huiniang a few times. She is fair-looking and quiet. I heard that he has studied. Qingshan is lucky to marry her.¡± Chen said At this point, he suddenly said, ¡°No, Qingshan is also very good, if Hui Niang can marry him, it is considered that he is married to the right person.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a match made in heaven.¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled.


    ¡°That¡¯s not it.¡± Chen sighed, and then looked at Jiang Yunzhu with a gloomy gaze, Xu Qingshan is married, what about her?


    Jiang Yunzhu quickly changed the subject, ¡°Mom, what kind of gift should we give?¡±


    ¡°On the way we escaped from the famine, the Xu family took good care of us. I mean, they gave us a piece of cloth and two bags of rice.¡± Chen said.


    This gift is really not light, Jiang Yunzhu nodded, thinking that he should also give a gift.


    According to the customs here, children only need to give a separate gift when they get married and separate, and relatives and friends have happy events. Jiang Yunzhu feels that although she is not married and has no family, she is in business, has a house and a shop, and they are all in her name. She is considered self-reliant, and she should pay a gift.


    As for what to send? She quickly had an idea.


    In the afternoon, she went to the Gold and Silver Building.


    Soon came the day when Xu Qingshan got married, and it happened to be a rest day, so Jiang Yunzhu brought Jiang Lin and others back to Changshi Village early.


    I haven¡¯t been back for a long time. When they left, the place was still bare and withered in winter. Now, there is green on the mountain, and small flowers of various colors are blooming on the side of the road. The spring breeze is coming, and the sun is just right , What a spring intention in the mountains.


    The courtyard of Qishanju is considered spacious, but when everyone comes here, they still feel refreshed.


    Jiang Wu immediately got out of the carriage and ran back and forth on the side of the road.


    Jiang Lin has been in school for a while, and he has become a little more stable. He keeps an eye on Jiang Wu, lest he get lost.


    Jiang Yunzhu was sitting in the carriage. While admiring the beautiful scenery in the distance, she picked a small flower from the roadside from time to time, feeling refreshed and happy. Suddenly, she thought, should she change her destination in the future? Although the city is nice, it doesn¡¯t have such a beautiful scenery outside. Otherwise, she will find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to buy a villa to live in in the future?


    No, living in Zhuangzi every day will make you tired.


    So why make a choice, she can have it all! After a few years, when the dividends from planting mulberry and silkworms come down, maybe both of her dreams can come true?


    Thinking of this, she had two more expectations for the future.


    When we arrived at Changshi Village, a few went home first, and the family changed a lot. Mrs. Chen planted a lot of melons and beans in front of and behind the house. look.


    Father Chen is watering the flowers in the yard. Now that he has nothing to do, he can pick up his former hobbies, planting flowers and weeds. All orchids, peonies, magnolias, and begonias are all made beautiful by him.


    ¡°I¡¯m back.¡± Mr. Chen greeted with a smile.


    ¡°Grandpa.¡± Jiang Yunzhu and others shouted in unison.


    ¡°Come into the house and rest.¡± Mr. Chen said.


    Jiang Yunzhu and the others were not tired at all. Some of them wandered around the front and back yards, watching the changes at home in amazement, while others were chatting with Mr. Chen, admiring his flowers, and laughing everywhere.


    Enough laughing, everyone went to Xu¡¯s house together. That¡¯s right, it¡¯s the Xu family, not the Gu family.


    Xu Qingshan was about to get married, so he discussed with Father Xu that he could no longer live in Gu¡¯s house. So the two took out all the money and bought a house in the village.


    There are four main rooms and three side rooms in this house. Because of the marriage, they have been tidied up and decorated with a lot of red, which looks very festive.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the house, thinking that when the house rented by the family expired, he might as well buy it.


    Of course, there are still a few months, so there is no rush.


    Gu Yongde took care of various marriage matters for Xu Qingshan.


    The Xu family had no relatives in Changshi Village, so it was simple.


    As soon as Jiang Yunzhu and the others arrived, Father Xu immediately came out to greet them in person. Today, he wore brand-new clothes, his hair was combed meticulously, and his eyes were particularly radiant. He really answered that sentence, and he is in good spirits on happy occasions!


    ¡°Come in, do it inside.¡± He said enthusiastically.


    Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Chen handed him the gift in their hands. It stands to reason that when getting married, there will be a special person to accept the gift and write down the gift book for future inspection. But the Xu family had too few relatives and friends, it wasn¡¯t worth getting that at all, so they didn¡¯t do it.


    ¡°Hey, why are you taking so many things?¡± Father Xu didn¡¯t dare to take it. This is a whole piece of cloth, which can make three or four quilts and two clothes, not to mention two bags of rice, the price of rice is so expensive now¡­


    ¡°It¡¯s all our wishes, Brother Xu, we¡¯ll be angry if you don¡¯t answer.¡± Jiang Cheng laughed.


    Father Xu took it and put it aside.


    ¡°I wish the two newcomers grow old together and have a son soon.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, and then handed the box in his hand to Father Xu.


    ¡°Niece, who are you?¡± Father Xu was slightly startled.


    ¡°I¡¯ve made money now, so I should give you a congratulatory gift. Uncle Xu, just take it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Father Xu naturally knew about her opening a shop in the county, but¡­


    ¡°Brother Xu, I¡¯ll give you the cloud bead, you just take it, you don¡¯t know her yet, you¡¯ve always been one-sided, I can¡¯t control her.¡± Jiang Cheng half-jokingly said.


    Father Xu laughed, ¡°You, you are so good at getting cheap. If I have such a daughter, I can let her take care of me every day.¡±


    Everyone laughed together.


    Father Xu took the box from Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s hand. It was a bit heavy, but he didn¡¯t know what it was.


    Asking Jiang Yunzhu and others to sit in the room, he took the time to open the box, and was shocked immediately.


    The golden light in the box turned out to be a golden comb, and there were a few fine rubies on it, making the golden comb even more dazzling.


    This is too expensive, he quickly closed the box, found Jiang Cheng privately, and told him about it.


    Jiang Cheng didn¡¯t expect that the box Jiang Yunzhu sent contained this thing. When relatives and friends get married, there is a habit of giving combs, but most of them give combs made of wenge or boxwood, and some people give silver combs. Although Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s gold comb is a bit small, it is worth four or five taels of silver.


    But since Jiang Yunzhu had already been given away, Jiang Cheng would naturally not take it back, so he let Father Xu take it with confidence.


    Four or five taels of silver, in fact, is just a day¡¯s profit combined with Qishanju and tea not cold.


    ¡°She always remembers the friendship you took care of our family back then. This child is like this. She will always remember when others treat her well. Since she sent you off, she really wanted to give it to you.¡± Jiang Cheng said.


    Father Xu was moved, how many people can share adversity, but not wealth, Jiang Yunzhu now has two shops, but still remembers them, it is really rare.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll take it,¡± he said.


    ¡°Take it.¡±


    Father Xu put the box away, thinking about giving it to Su Huiniang along with some things at home tomorrow morning. She is also a good girl. Since she is married to her, she must treat her well. He didn¡¯t have a daughter, so he just regarded her as a daughter.


    Jiang Yunzhu and others sat there drinking tea and eating melon seeds.


    After an unknown amount of time, firecrackers were crackling outside, and Xu Qingshan came in dressed in red, holding red silk in his hand, and the other end of the red silk was held in the hand of a girl.


    That should be his bride, Su Huiniang.


    Xu Qingshan has a back and waist, straight eyebrows and bright black eyes. Today he is wearing this red dress, which makes him look even more radiant.


    While walking, he will take care of the people around him carefully. It can be seen that he likes Su Huiniang.


    ¡°One bow to heaven and earth, two bows to high hall¡­¡± Gu Yongde shouted.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the two people who were saluting, but suddenly remembered a lot. In the dream, Xu Qingshan also helped the Jiang family, and finally Jiang Yunxiu would marry him. A bit similar to now.


    destiny? It is not so much a matter of fate as it is a matter of character. Xu Qingshan treats people warmly, and his helpful character determines that they will meet each other.


    It¡¯s just that the beginning is the same, but the end is not necessarily the same. In the dream, after Jiang Yunxiu and Xu Qingshan got married, she often bossed Xu Qingshan around, while Xu Qingshan gradually became taciturn. The two seemed unhappy, so they should be regarded as a bitter couple.


    Now, Xu Qingshan is married to Su Huiniang, and the two like each other, so they should be able to live well.


    I just don¡¯t know how Jiang Yunxiu is doing now?


    How¡­ Anyway, it has nothing to do with him, Jiang Yunzhu put this matter behind him.


    ¡°Husband and wife worship each other and send them to the bridal chamber.¡± Gu Yongde shouted.


    The bride was sent into the bridal chamber, and the banquet was held outside, Xu Qingshan came out to toast to everyone.


    ¡°Yunzhu.¡± When he walked to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s side, he said happily, he was very happy that she could come.


    ¡°Congratulations.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Xu Qingshan smiled, he had let go of his feelings for Jiang Yunzhu a long time ago, and seeing her now, he only regards her as a friend.


    The wedding banquet is at noon, and there is another meal in the evening. Eating dumplings means giving birth to a baby early.


    Jiang Yunzhu stayed in the village to eat dumplings, and when the fun was over, it was already dark and the city gate was closed, so she rested at home.


    Maybe it was because he drank a little wine at night, and his heart was hot, or maybe it was because of a sudden change of environment, Jiang Yunzhu lay on the bed for a long time, but did not fall asleep. Simply, she got up and went outside, being blown by the evening wind, she felt a lot better.


    Standing there, she suddenly felt that something was missing.


    What¡¯s missing? She frowned.


    When she looked up and saw the side room next to it, the door of the side room was locked, it was Shen Fengming¡¯s previous room, Jiang Yunzhu suddenly realized that Shen Fengming was missing.


    When she lived in the mountain, if she couldn¡¯t sleep, she could always see him on the porch.

 Chapter 76

    A lot of thoughts came to my mind at once, but because of the drunkenness, Jiang Yunzhu was in a daze for a while and decided to go back to sleep.


    Early the next morning, she sat on the bed, thinking of Shen Fengming¡­


    ¡°Yunzhu, are you up yet?¡± Mrs. Chen called outside softly.


    ¡°Get up, mother.¡± Jiang Yunzhu agreed, got up and opened the door.


    ¡°I made breakfast, why don¡¯t you hurry up and eat some. Yanzhou is leaving home for the capital today, shall we all go see him off?¡± Chen asked her.


    ¡°It should be.¡± Jiang Yunzhu dressed quickly, He Ying prepared hot water for her, she sat there after washing, He Ying combed her a slanted cloud bun, and inserted two small hairpins for her , showing her elegance and agility.


    ¡°Your new style?¡± Jiang Yunzhu saw the person in the mirror and asked He Ying with a smile.


    ¡°Yes, what do you think of the girl.¡± He Ying asked, looking in the mirror from time to time, her girl was pretty, and she just wanted to make it beautiful.


    ¡°It¡¯s pretty good.¡± Jiang Yunzhu touched the bun. It¡¯s pretty good, but it¡¯s not convenient for work. Anyway, I shouldn¡¯t have to work today, so be it.


    Then she went out. Chen made small wontons and vegetable cakes this morning. The small wontons were delicious, and the vegetable cakes used home-grown greens, which were very fresh and tender. Jiang Yunzhu ate them hot and felt satisfied.


    This time, she went out without waiting for Mrs. Chen to call.


    Jiang Cheng and others were also there, and they went to Gu¡¯s house together.


    This was the first time Jiang Yunzhu met Su Huiniang. She was a quiet girl with fair skin and soft features. She stood there like a summer lotus, gentle and charming. Especially her eyes, she looked at Xu Qingshan from time to time, those eyes were gentle and bright.


    Everyone greeted each other, and Gu Yanzhou came out of the house with a bundle.


    ¡°You must take good care of yourself.¡± Lin said, wiping away tears.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t pass the exam, there will be three years later!¡± Gu Yongde said.


    Mrs. Lin poked him with her arm, what did he say, her son will definitely pass the exam.


    Gu Yongde had a straight face, he was afraid that his son would not pass the exam and he was discouraged, of course he also hoped that he would pass the exam.


    ¡°Father, mother, take care too.¡± Gu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about us, we are at home, what can we do?¡±


    Only then did Gu Yanzhou look at the crowd.


    Some of the people said that he would definitely be named on the gold list, and some told him to take care of himself. Everyone talked and saw him off all the way to the entrance of the village. After walking ten miles forward, he came to a place called Liuxupo.


    At this time, spring is strong, and the long willow branches are covered with white catkins. When the wind blows, they fall like snowflakes, which is really beautiful.


    It¡¯s a pity that everyone is not in the mood to appreciate this beautiful scenery.


    At this time, Gu Yanzhou stopped. He asked someone to go to Beijing together, and agreed to meet here.


    After a while, a tall scholar came. When he saw Gu Yanzhou from afar, he waved.


    Then came a round-faced scholar.


    In the middle, Xie Chen, Xie Lian, Qin Yao, and Lin Yubai came. In the last Jiang Yunzhu cooking competition, Xie Chen and Gu Yanzhou got acquainted. In fact, the two had already heard of their names in the academy, but they never met each other. After the two got acquainted this time, they both appreciated each other¡¯s knowledge very much, so they got closer and closer and became friends.


    This time Gu Yanzhou also invited Xie Chen to join him.


    Xie Chen got out of the carriage, looked at Xie Lian, ¡°A Lian, are you really not going to Beijing with me?¡±


    These days Xie Chen has also been preparing to go to Beijing, but he didn¡¯t expect that last night, Xie Lian suddenly found him and said that he would stay in Qishanju and not go to Beijing with him.


    Xie Chen was amazed.


    Xie Lian made gestures with him for a long time before letting him understand her intentions. She likes living in the mountains, and if she goes to Beijing with Xie Chen, she will cause him trouble, so instead of that, she might as well stay.


    Xie Lian had already seen Jiang Yunzhu and the others in the distance, and shook her head firmly.


    Seeing her like this, Xie Chen gave up. The current situation is different from before, that person has already entered the prison, and he also feels that it might be better for Xie Lian to stay here than to follow him all the way.


    Then he looked at Qin Yao.


    The two looked at each other for a long time before he turned around. What should be said, he had already told her yesterday. Let¡¯s talk about the rest when he comes back from the exam!


    Xie Chen walked further and further away, Xie Lian slowly grasped the carriage shaft, she was suddenly a little scared, she had never left him.


    ¡°Brother!¡± There was a hoarse call, the voice was very low, even a little unpleasant.


    Xie Chen¡¯s body froze there, and then, like a puppet, he slowly turned his head and looked at Xie Lian.


    ¡°Brother.¡± Xie Lian said with difficulty, covering her throat with her hand.


    ¡°Alian, you?¡± Can she speak now? Xie Chen had mixed feelings for a moment, leaving the burden behind and running back.


    ¡°Brother, take care all the way. I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Xie Lian said after a pause. After speaking, there were tears in her eyes, but there was a smile on her face.


    Xie Chen stopped there, looking at her, the brows that were often frowned suddenly relaxed, and his whole body flew like an eagle.


    ¡°Wait for me.¡± He said.


    Xie Lian nodded.


    Xie Chen grasped the baggage in his hand, took another look at Qin Yao, and joined Gu Yanzhou.


    Chang Liu couldn¡¯t hold her back, so Gu Yanzhou left with Xie Chen and the others, and they stood there for a long time before they dispersed.


    Qin Yao is going to plant trees, but she has to go back to the county first, so she can take Xie Lian back.


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to go back to the village and then to the county seat.


    In this way, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s family, Gu Yongde¡¯s family, and Xu Qingshan¡¯s family walked to the village together. Everyone talked and laughed, which relieved a lot of the sorrow of parting.


    When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they also arrived at Jiang¡¯s family. Everyone in Jiang¡¯s family was about to leave when a carriage came on the official road over there.


    The black and blue roof of the carriage, with Ying Luo hanging around it, looked very extraordinary at first glance, and everyone was surprised. Could it be that the carriage went to the wrong place?


    At this time, the carriage had already arrived, and the groom who drove the carriage felt a little strange seeing Jiang Cheng and so many people standing at the entrance of the village, but he still asked, ¡°Excuse me, is this Changshi Village?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Cheng replied.


    The coachman said to the people in the carriage, ¡°Girl, we¡¯re here.¡±


    There was movement in the carriage, and after a while, the curtain of the carriage opened, revealing a charming girl. The girl combed her hair in a high bun with two gorgeous beaded flowers inserted in it, and she was wearing a bright red dress with pictures of butterflies playing with flowers embroidered on it, it was really exquisite.


    Everyone wondered who this girl was.


    Chen Shi and Jiang Cheng were dumbfounded, this, this is their daughter Jiang Yunxiu? In fact, it¡¯s only been more than half a year since they separated, but they are a little afraid to recognize Jiang Yunxiu.


    Jiang Yunxiu also saw Chen Shi and Jiang Cheng, and frowned invisibly. When she saw Jiang Yunzhu in the crowd, her expression changed a few times, and she finally stabilized.


    She got out of the carriage and gave the coachman a piece of silver.


    The coachman asked her for money, but she said disgustedly, ¡°Don¡¯t look for it, it smells like that.¡± She said the coachman¡¯s smell.


    The coachman raised his eyebrows, didn¡¯t say anything, took the money, and hurried away immediately.


    ¡°Yunxiu?¡± Mrs. Chen couldn¡¯t believe it, but Jiang Yunxiu came back just like that.


    She reached out to grab Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s hand, but Jiang Yunxiu dodged it.


    Chen was stunned.


    Jiang Cheng naturally noticed this, and his excitement instantly cooled down a lot.


    Mrs. Chen didn¡¯t think so, and asked Jiang Yunxiu, ¡°Yunxiu, who are you?¡± Suddenly realizing that there were Gu Yongde and others beside her, she hurriedly introduced Jiang Yunxiu, her daughter, Gu Yongde¡­ when introducing Xu Qingshan and Su Huiniang , Jiang Yunxiu was stunned.


    This is Xu Qingshan? No, this is Xu Qingshan when he was young? Yes, it seems that he was like this when he was young, but he lived back more and more later.


    Su Huiniang, Xu Qingshan¡¯s new wife? Jiang Yunxiu looked at her carefully, her eyebrows and eyes were not as beautiful as hers, her complexion was not as fair as her own, and her figure was not as good as hers, why did Xu Qingshan fall in love with her?


    People may be like this, Jiang Yunxiu doesn¡¯t like Xu Qingshan, but seeing a man who used to obey his advice suddenly marry someone else, he feels uncomfortable.


    ¡°So it¡¯s Big Brother Xu.¡± Jiang Yunxiu smiled slightly at Xu Qingshan, her eyes rolling.


    Her name was Brother Xu Qingshan, but she ignored Su Huiniang at all, as if she didn¡¯t exist.


    Su Huiniang clasped her hands together, out of a woman¡¯s intuition, she felt that Jiang Yunxiu seemed to be not normal to Xu Qingshan.


    At this time, a big hand held her hand. It turned out that Xu Qingshan felt her uneasiness and held her hand.


    Su Huiniang immediately felt like drinking fine wine, and her eyes were a little sweeter.


    On the other side, Jiang Yunxiu was so angry that she put away her smile. Why, isn¡¯t she more beautiful than this woman?


    ¡°It turned out to be a girl from the Jiang family.¡± Xu Qingshan said at this moment, he has always been warm to others, and when he said this, he also had a smile on his face. In his opinion, since Jiang Yunxiu was the Jiang family¡¯s daughter and Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s sister, she was also his sister.


    Jiang Yunxiu showed a complacent face, sure enough, this man, if she hooked her finger, he would come back immediately.


    Gu Yongde and others subtly felt that Jiang Yunxiu seemed to be too enthusiastic about Xu Qingshan, so Jiang Cheng hurriedly said, ¡°Come into the house.¡±


    ¡°Yes, let¡¯s go into the room and tell.¡± Chen Shi said. Some things are not humane, it is better to go home, and they will have a good chat.


    Gu Yongde left with Father Xu and the others. They vaguely knew that the Jiang family had sold a daughter before, could it be this one just now?


    The members of the Jiang family entered the yard, and Jiang Yunxiu looked around. The courtyard of Jiang¡¯s family is really well cleaned up now. There are all kinds of flowers and plants planted by Mr. Chen, and all kinds of melons and vegetables planted by Chen¡¯s family. It feels like it is thriving.


    ¡°Where is this yard?¡± Jiang Yunxiu asked.


    ¡°It was rented from Aunt Feng.¡± Chen said.


    No wonder, she said, how could the Jiang family afford such a nice house. Although this house seemed to her that way. Jiang Yunxiu thought to herself.


    Everyone entered the house, Mrs. Chen brought Jiang Yunxiu a pack of Yunpian Cake for her to eat.


    Jiang Yunxiu didn¡¯t move.


    Chen thought she was embarrassed, so she took a piece and stuffed it into her hand.


    ¡°I won¡¯t eat it.¡± Who would like to eat this kind of food, Jiang Yunxiu thought.


    ¡°Try it, it¡¯s delicious.¡± Mrs. Chen still looked at Jiang Yunxiu with old eyes.


    The Yunpian Cake dropped dross when she picked it up, she pushed and backed away, seeing that the dregs were about to fall on Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s clothes, Jiang Yunxiu suddenly pushed Chen¡¯s hand away, and said angrily, ¡°Dirty my clothes!¡±


    Her clothes, which she spent a lot of money on, were specially made for Lin Ting¡¯an to see, and if they got dirty, what would she do?


    Unprepared, Chen was pushed, and the cloud cake in his hand flew out and rolled to the ground. The white cake was immediately covered with dirt and scattered into a pile.


    Chen was stunned.


    ¡°Mother, put away the cake, it seems that Yunxiu doesn¡¯t want to eat it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said suddenly. Then she looked at Jiang Yunxiu, so, what did she want to do this time?

 Chapter 77

    There was naturally a reason for Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s sudden appearance here.


    Last year, after squatting for half a month, she finally took Mrs. Zhou to put Gao Shun and Tian Ying on the bed.


    When Mrs. Zhou discovered this kind of thing, she was merciless, and directly pulled Tian Ying¡¯s hair and dragged her to the courtyard. There are people waiting in the kitchen in the courtyard, but Tian Ying is completely naked at this moment¡­


    Tian Ying curled up there, trying to protect her sensitive parts, but Mrs. Zhou scolded her very harshly, saying ¡°you dare to steal people, so I don¡¯t dare to show it to everyone now¡±, and so on, Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s scalp was tight with scolding.


    The next day, Tian Ying hanged herself in the house. That house is the residence of Jiang Yunxiu, Tian Ying and Xiaodong.


    Jiang Yunxiu still remembers how she looked when she opened her eyes and saw the corpse. Countless times in the middle of the night, she dreamed that Tian Ying was chasing her for her life. She ran and shouted, ¡°It¡¯s not me, it¡¯s Mrs. Zhou.¡±


    Tian Ying died and was carried out of the mansion by being swept up with grass. There was no splash, and the Anping Hou Mansion was still prosperous.


    Gao Shun had a big fight with Mrs. Zhou, but that was all.


    Soon, Gao Shun turned his attention to Jiang Yunxiu.


    Of course Jiang Yunxiu despises him, but she is always suffering like this, when will she make it through.


    It just so happened that Mrs. Zhou found out about it, but she didn¡¯t make a fuss this time. She thinks that instead of letting Gao Shun go out to mess around, it¡¯s better to get a sweet date and hook him at home. Jiang Yunxiu is this sweet date. Let Gao Shun see it, but not eat it.


    Jiang Yunxiu is currently in the Anping Marquis Mansion, probably in such a situation. She was regarded as a second-class maid in the mansion, and Mrs. Zhou would give her a little sweetness from time to time to make her listen to her. Gao Shun was happy and was willing to spend money on her. That¡¯s why she had these beaded hairpins on her head and these beautiful clothes on her body.


    She also knew that the two couples were uneasy and kind, but her goal was Lin Ting¡¯an. As long as she became the young wife of the Hou Fu, everything would be solved easily.


    It¡¯s just that she has met Lin Ting¡¯an several times, but Lin Ting¡¯an doesn¡¯t seem to care about her, and she doesn¡¯t even remember her name. She doesn¡¯t understand what¡¯s going on.


    In desperation, she suddenly thought of Jiang Yunzhu, how did she become the young wife of the Hou Fu?


    So during the Chinese New Year this year, she sent people to Changfeng Mansion to look for Jiang Cheng and the others. First, to find out Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s tone. Give her a little something and enjoy her envious eyes.


    Thinking of that scene, she wished she could see Jiang Yunzhu immediately.


    At the time of parting, she had said that if Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t make it through, she could come and beg her, and now is the right time.


    It¡¯s just that the man went to Changfeng Mansion, but he couldn¡¯t find anyone. He asked the people in the village, and knew that Jiang Cheng and the others might have fled the famine.


    Jiang Yunxiu knew the news and thought it was wrong, shouldn¡¯t they wait until April this year before fleeing famine?


    Then she asked people to go to Qinghe Village. In her dream, she, Jiang Cheng and others fled here.


    As a result, there was no one in Qinghe Village, so she lost all clues to find Jiang¡¯s family. Until a while ago, a large number of disaster victims flooded into Luzhou, and Qin Yao planted porridge and planted trees. This incident seemed to spread everywhere.


    Some people in the Anping Marquis Mansion also said, Wuling County, Wuling County¡­ When Jiang Yunxiu heard about this place, something suddenly occurred to her mind. Xu Qingshan seemed to have said that he seemed to have stayed somewhere in Wuling County. She couldn¡¯t remember the exact address, and she never cared about his words. All she remembered was that he said it was next to an iron mine.


    She suddenly thought, did Jiang Yunzhu also escape to this place?


    As soon as this idea came into being, it grew wildly, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt it.


    At this time, there was news from the Hou Mansion that Lin Ting¡¯an seemed to attach great importance to this matter, as if he wanted to go to Wuling County to find out the situation in person.


    Jiang Yunxiu was overjoyed when she heard that, and went outside. Without so many rules in the mansion, maybe she could get close to Lin Ting¡¯an.


    So she found a reason to ask the housekeeper for leave, put on new clothes and her best jewelry, and came to Wuling County.


    When I got here, I found out that there is indeed an iron mine in Wuling County, which is the Wuling Mine, and the village next to the Wuling Mine is Changshi Village.


    When she came to Changshi Village, she happened to see Jiang Cheng and the others.


    They were different from the poverty she had expected, Jiang Yunxiu suddenly took Chen¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Mother, I didn¡¯t mean to.¡±


    Chen woke up like a dream, ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay, but didn¡¯t you love to eat all kinds of pastries before?¡± It¡¯s a pity that the family only had one or two yuan during the New Year and holidays.


    ¡°Mother, I¡¯m working in the Anping Marquis Mansion.¡± Jiang Yunxiu said, stretching out her wrists, revealing two shining gold bracelets.


    Mrs. Chen was very surprised, Anping Hou Mansion, why does it sound familiar? By the way, the one who competed with Jiang Yunzhu last time seemed to be from Anping Houfu.


    She immediately asked what happened to Jiang Yunxiu and why she suddenly appeared here today.


    Jiang Yunxiu only said that she was sold to the Marquis of Anping, and she has been looking for them, so she finally found it.


    ¡°Mother, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Speaking of selling Jiang Yunxiu, Chen felt guilty.


    Jiang Yunxiu was a bit proud, she raised her arm deliberately so that Jiang Yunzhu could see the gold bracelet on her wrist, and then stared at her reaction.


    Jiang Yunzhu saw the two gold bracelets, but didn¡¯t care at all, and didn¡¯t even look at them.


    Angry in Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s heart, she suddenly held the gold bracelet in her left hand and said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Sister, the style of this bracelet is the most popular style in Luzhou now, and one piece costs more than thirty taels of silver!¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t respond.


    Jiang Yunxiu gritted her teeth, ¡°Sister, look at you, you don¡¯t have any valuable jewelry on you, otherwise how about I give you one?¡± Beg her, beg her, maybe she will give it to her.


    Jiang Yunzhu almost laughed, she said, ¡°I don¡¯t like wearing those, if you want to, why not give the bracelet to your mother, I¡¯ll see if my mother wears it, it¡¯s quite suitable.¡±


    Behind her, when He Ying heard this, she burst out laughing, what a mouth of her girl!


    Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s face turned green, is this bracelet suitable for Mrs. Chen? Then she won¡¯t be the same person as Chen. Also, how could she be willing to give this bracelet to Mrs. Chen. During those seven years in her dream, she had done so much for her family, but Mrs. Chen never forgot about Jiang Yunzhu, she hated it when she thought about it.


    In the end, it was Chen Shilian who said that he didn¡¯t want it, and this matter was over.


    Mrs. Chen wanted to tell Jiang Yunxiu about the situation at home, but Jiang Yunxiu didn¡¯t have the patience to listen. She drove everyone out with the excuse that she was tired and wanted to rest.


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to leave too, but Jiang Yunxiu said, ¡°Sister, I want to whisper to you.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu stopped and turned to look at her. What did she want to say?


    Only the two sisters were left in the room, and Jiang Yunxiu called Jiang Yunzhu glutinously, just like the two sisters used to do in Changfeng Mansion. At that time, Jiang Yunzhu, as the older sister, would agree to all Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s requests.


    But now Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s body has changed, and she also sees that Jiang Yunxiu is totally hypocritical, so she just stands there indifferently.


    Jiang Yunxiu was a little confused about Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s temper, why did she feel that she seemed to be a different person this time compared to before.


    Did she have that dream too?


    Impossible, if she also had that dream, she would definitely choose that short branch.


    Jiang Yunxiu suppressed this thought in her heart, and asked shyly, ¡°Sister, how can you make a man like you?¡±


    Man, Lin Ting¡¯an? Jiang Yunzhu seemed to understand why she came here suddenly.


    ¡°My suggestion, the farther away from him the better.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said solemnly.


    What kind of suggestion is this? If she doesn¡¯t want to say it, she doesn¡¯t need to say it. Jiang Yun stood up gracefully and walked outside. She couldn¡¯t stay in this house for a moment.


    ¡°Yunxiu, where are you going? Yunxiu.¡± Mrs. Chen wanted to stop Jiang Yunxiu, but Jiang Yunxiu walked away without looking back.


    Mrs. Chen stood there, devastated.


    At this moment Jiang Cheng came over and held her hand tightly.


    Jiang Yunxiu came out of Jiang¡¯s house and wanted to go to the county seat, but found that there was no horse-drawn carriage in this remote village.


    She hated it more and more.


    At this time Xu Qingshan came out of the village driving a donkey cart, at this moment, he was about to go out to pull his feet. After marrying a daughter-in-law, he worked harder to make money, hoping to make her life better.


    Seeing him, Jiang Yunxiu seemed to have found her confidence again.


    ¡°Brother Xu.¡± She said sweetly.


    ¡°It¡¯s a girl from the Jiang family.¡± Xu Qingshan said.


    Then Jiang Yunxiu talked about her going to the city.


    Although Xu Qingshan wondered why Jiang Cheng didn¡¯t see her off, he still said, ¡°Get in the car, I¡¯ll take you there.¡±


    ¡°Thank you Brother Xu.¡± Jiang Yunxiu said.


    She got on the donkey cart, but she didn¡¯t sit in the back, but sat next to Xu Qingshan, purposely getting very close to him.


    Xu Qingshan moved to the side uncomfortably.


    But Jiang Yunxiu asked, ¡°Brother Xu, do you think your daughter-in-law is good-looking, or I am good-looking?¡±


    Xu Qingshan frowned slightly, but still said, ¡°You look better.¡±


    Sure enough, Jiang Yunxiu was proud, but also felt inadequate, and said, ¡°Then why did you marry her?¡±


    Xu Qingshan¡¯s expression changed immediately, he reined in the donkey, feeling that it was the first time he was so angry, so angry that he wanted to scold a woman. It was his blessing that his wife could marry him. How could she say that?


    ¡°Get out of the car.¡± He shouted.


    Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s face changed color, Xu Qingshan never dared to talk to her like this before.


    ¡°I¡¯ll let you get off the car.¡± Xu Qingshan repeated again, picking up the whip in his hand.


    What, he still dared to hit her? Jiang Yunxiu was extremely annoyed.


    Xu Qingshan didn¡¯t hit her, but pushed her out of the car with a whip, and drove away with the car.


    Jiang Yunxiu stood there, furious, feeling that everything was Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s fault, otherwise she wouldn¡¯t be so ashamed.


    Jiang Yunzhu packed his things at this time and wanted to go back to the mountain residence.


    ¡°Let¡¯s leave after lunch.¡± Jiang Cheng pleaded, she finally came back once.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the sky, and it was indeed time for lunch, so she nodded and stayed.


    After lunch, she was preparing to rest for a while before returning to the county seat when there was the sound of a horse honking outside.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked out through the window, and found that Shen Fengming was reining in his horse and stopped outside the door. He seemed to be running so fast that the horse barely stopped with its front legs raised high.


    Both saw each other.

 Chapter 78

    Two days after Jiang Yunzhu went home, Shen Fengming still read books and dealt with Qilinwei¡¯s affairs, but he always felt that something was missing. Until he saw the vibrant spring, he suddenly thought of the phrase ¡°The flowers on Moshang bloom, but they can return slowly.¡±


    He wanted to see Jiang Yunzhu, so he came.


    Just in time, I saw Jiang Yunzhu leaning forward and standing in front of the window looking at him.


    In spring, the window was half open, and the beautiful person was half hidden. The moment she saw him, there seemed to be ripples in her water-cut eyes.


    Shen Fengming suddenly wanted to understand something. He got off his horse and walked quickly to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s room.


    He seemed to be carrying the wind and rain, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart jumped suddenly, she turned around and came back from the window, looking at the door. I can hear his footsteps, getting closer and closer, as if stepping on people¡¯s hearts.


    At this time, Shen Fengming had already arrived at the door, he didn¡¯t knock on the door, but directly pushed the door in, and closed the door with his backhand.


    The room seemed to suddenly become smaller.


    Shen Fengming stared at Jiang Yunzhu darkly and coldly.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart beat faster, she smiled in a concealed manner, ¡°Mr. Shen?¡±


    Shen Fengming took out a box from his sleeve, opened it, and there was a white jade hairpin inside.


    ¡°Girl Jiang, I carved it with my own hands, and I want to give it to you.¡± Shen Fengming picked up the white jade hairpin and handed it to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Looking at the hairpin, Jiang Yunzhu felt his mind go blank.


    In this era, men and women can¡¯t just give things casually, especially something close to the body like a hairpin. And, he said, he carved it with his own hands.


    He¡­ Jiang Yunzhu looked up at Shen Fengming.


    Her face was like a lotus petal, white and pink, like a halo, and her slightly raised chin fully revealed the graceful jawline and the gorgeous red lips, making them closer to Shen Fengming, as if silently invite.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple rolled down, he lowered his head slowly, his red lips parted slightly.


    Jiang Yunzhu suddenly woke up, she took a step back, looked away, and asked stammeringly, ¡°Mr. Shen, have you had lunch yet?¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll make it for you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, and walked out.


    While intertwined with Shen Fengming, suddenly, a hand grabbed her wrist. There were thin calluses on that hand, and it was very strong, grabbing Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s wrist, it seemed to have grabbed half of her strength.


    ¡°I have something to tell you.¡± Shen Fengming said, and with a light tug, he pulled Jiang Yunzhu back. Even, maybe he was using too much force, or maybe Jiang Yunzhu was unprepared, she bumped into his arms directly.


    Strong chest, pounding heartbeat.


    Jiang Yunzhu quickly backed away and pushed him with her hands at the same time, her face was already flushed.


    Shen Fengming let go of her, but took two steps forward.


    There was a table behind Jiang Yunzhu, and she wanted to stay away from him, but her lower back was pressed against the table, and it hurt so badly.


    Shen Fengming sensed that something was wrong with her, and put her on the table with force.


    Jiang Yunzhu was sitting on the table, her legs could faintly touch his. His legs are slender and powerful, giving people an unshakable feeling.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t dare to raise his head, didn¡¯t dare to move, he lowered his head, his gaze rested on his thin waist.


    Her slender neck seemed to be dyed a layer of pink, like the finest jade.


    Shen Fengming lowered his head, looked at the whiteness she revealed, and picked up the white jade hairpin again, ¡°Miss Jiang, my surname is Shen, and my first name is¡­¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu suddenly got excited, what did he want to say, his name is Shen Fengming?


    ¡°You want to give me this hairpin?¡± Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know what she was thinking, so she interrupted him suddenly.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu went to look at the hairpin again.


    The whole body of the white jade hairpin is pure white, and the head of the hairpin is carved into the shape of a green luan, which is lifelike, very delicate and gorgeous.


    Jiang Yunzhu had seen good things before, and immediately knew that the hairpin was priceless.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s too expensive,¡± she said.


    Shen Fengming inserted the white jade hairpin in her hair. The black hair is like a cloud, which complements the white jade hairpin.


    Jiang Yunzhu noticed his movement, and the warm white hosta was inserted into her hair little by little, and she tensed her body.


    ¡°Ginger girl.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll cook for you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu slipped off the table and walked out.


    This time Shen Fengming didn¡¯t stop her, Jiang Yunzhu ran to the kitchen in one breath, and then supported the cutting board in the kitchen with his hands, took two breaths, Fang Jue¡¯s mood calmed down a bit, and his mind could turn.


    At this time, she thought of the white jade hairpin on her head, and quickly reached out to pull it out.


    and then? Holding the white jade hairpin, she stood there with thoughts rolling in her mind.


    Why she interrupted Shen Fengming, she actually didn¡¯t know.


    Maybe she thought it was fine now, but if he said his name, everything seemed different, and she didn¡¯t like that change.


    Today Jiang Yunxiu came, and Lin Ting¡¯an was vaguely mentioned again, Jiang Yunzhu remembered many things in his dream.


    She took care of everything for Lin Ting¡¯an. Lin Ting¡¯an knew that she didn¡¯t want to be a concubine, so he tried his best to resist the Marquis of Anping, and finally married her as the young wife of the Marquis. Everything seemed beautiful, as beautiful as it was written in a storybook.


    In fact, Lin Ting¡¯an was very concerned about her background, so he changed all the servants in the mansion quietly, so that no one would mention that she used to be a maid in the mansion.


    Also outside, he didn¡¯t allow anyone to mention her background, and hoped that she could learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting like those great ladies, and become a real ¡°Young Madam of the Marquis of Anping¡±. He even wanted her to recognize Pan Shilang as her godfather, and said she was Pan Shilang¡¯s long-lost daughter.


    But in fact, Jiang Yunzhu doesn¡¯t think she is inferior, and she doesn¡¯t want to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the two often quarrel about this.


    There are also Anpinghou, Mrs. Anpinghou, the old lady, all the princes and ladies in the mansion, and even those noble ladies, relatives and friends, Jiang Yunzhu really doesn¡¯t like it. It was only by Qin Yao¡¯s side that she could let go of her airs and eat and play at will.


    So she didn¡¯t like the life in the Anping Marquis Mansion, and felt that it was like a cage, suffocating people.


    As for the Shen family, the Shen family is a big family, Shen Fengming¡¯s mother, Princess Danyang, is the emperor¡¯s younger sister, and his father is a Shen University scholar, the court affairs, family affairs, plus Shen Fengming¡¯s own troubles, it¡¯s all a mess to think about. Two big.


    No, why think so much? Jiang Yunzhu suddenly realized that she didn¡¯t seem to like Shen Fengming much, so why talk about her marriage with him.


    Moreover, Shen Fengming doesn¡¯t necessarily want to marry her, maybe he just wants to have a ¡°Daming Lakeside¡± encounter, or he just wants her to be his concubine or concubine? After all, her identity is there!


    I was really dizzy just now, Jiang Yunzhu slapped his forehead, put away the white jade hairpin, and prepared to return it to Shen Fengming later.


    Then she gets ready to cook, which is what makes her happy.


    what to do? She saw ducks in the kitchen, and an oven. When she ordered an oven last time, she also ordered one for her family, but it seems that Tan Debao doesn¡¯t like to use it. The oven is still very new.


    It just so happens that she can make roast duck as soon as she uses it. The roast duck is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, served with sauce and wraps, it is really delicious. Moreover, the roast duck takes a long time, she doesn¡¯t want to see Shen Fengming now.


    After processing the duck, marinate it, and she will make lotus leaf pancakes here.


    This process takes half an hour.


    After all, the duck was marinated and put into the oven. Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s oven is custom-made to bake dim sum and pancakes, so the duck can only be roasted in a stuffy oven, which is even slower.


    Jiang Yunzhu directly moved a chair and sat on the chair, watching the beautiful scenery of the mountains in the distance while waiting for the duck to be cooked.


    Today¡¯s weather is particularly good, the sky is as blue as washing, and the white clouds are floating in the sky, which contrasts with the mountains, which is beautiful and picturesque.


    Shen Fengming was sitting in her room, looking up through the window, he could see the distant mountain and that person.


    The aroma of roast duck wafted in, but he was not in a hurry. First, he looked around the furnishings in the room, and then he sat there and waited.


    Now that he has decided, he has always been patient.


    After another half an hour, Jiang Yunzhu wondered if Shen Fengming had fallen asleep or couldn¡¯t wait to leave, so she got up and looked into her room. But she saw Shen Fengming sitting there with downcast eyes, like a statue.


    No, the feeling of ready-to-go in him is not like a statue, but like a dormant leopard.


    Jiang Yunzhu bit the bullet, took out the roast duck, and began to slice the duck.


    After a while, a large plate of duck slices is good. Jiang Yunzhu found a large tray, put the duck meat, lotus leaf cake, sauce, and several dishes of crispy green vegetables into the tray, and made another bowl of seaweed and egg soup. There was really no way to delay, so she brought the tray in. house.


    ¡°Mr. Shen, you are hungry. Eat quickly.¡± Jiang Yunzhu put the tray on the table, then took out the contents one by one, and said to Shen Fengming.


    Shen Fengming looked at the things on the table, and saw pieces of duck meat, like clove leaves, thin and thin, crystal clear. It is Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s craftsmanship that can make such good things.


    ¡°Roast duck, dipped in sauce, and eaten in pancakes with vegetables,¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°En.¡± Shen Fengming washed his hands, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a few slices of duck meat and put them into the lotus leaf cake, then put the sauce and his favorite vegetables, then directly rolled the cake with his hands and put it in his mouth inside.


    Most aristocrats don¡¯t eat with their hands, they are afraid of losing their demeanor.


    But Shen Fengming didn¡¯t seem to have that scruple. And this action is done by him, but it is also very pleasing to the eye.


    The slender fingers were twisting the snow-white lotus leaf cake, as if twisting a snow lotus.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s hands are really beautiful, with well-proportioned flesh and bones.


    Jiang Yunzhu suddenly felt that she was also hungry. Looking at the time, it was already Shen Shi, and it was almost time for dinner.


    Shen Fengming seemed to say that he hadn¡¯t eaten since noon.


    Jiang Yunzhu was a little ashamed that she had delayed until now.


    Forget it, extending the head is a knife, retracting the head is also a knife, Jiang Yunzhu took out the white jade hairpin, and pushed it towards Shen Fengming, ¡°Young Master Shen, I am ashamed, you should take it back.¡±


    Shen Fengming¡¯s hand holding the lotus leaf cake paused, ¡°If I definitely want to give it to you.¡±


    Whether you say he is selfish or domineering, anyway, he suddenly understood that it is impossible for him to watch her marry someone else. As for what she wants, he can work hard.

 Chapter 79

    Jiang Yunzhu was a little depressed, why, he still wants to buy and sell by force, but can¡¯t he? She put the hairpin on the table, bowed her head and said nothing.


    The hairpin finally returned to Shen Fengming¡¯s hand.


    It¡¯s a little late today, and this kind of thing happened again, Jiang Yunzhu decided to stay at home for another night and go to the county seat tomorrow morning.


    The night is smoky, and suddenly there is a melodious sound of the piano piercing the silence, like the wind in the pine, or like flowing down the cliff, the sound is touching.


    Everyone in the Jiang family heard it. They all stopped what they were doing and listened quietly to the sound of the piano.


    Naturally, Jiang Yunzhu also heard the sound of the piano. She doesn¡¯t know how to play the piano and paint, but she knows how to appreciate it. The sound of the zither is really wonderful, but this piece is called ¡°Guan Ju¡±, ¡°Guan Guan Jujiu, in the continent of the river¡­¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu was upset, but he was quickly attracted by the sound of the piano and immersed himself in the sound of the piano.


    Suddenly the music stopped, and the Jiang family was silent.


    ¡°This is the sound of Mr. Shen playing the piano.¡± For some reason, Mrs. Chen felt soft after hearing the sound of the piano.


    ¡°En.¡± Jiang Cheng hugged her, and the two snuggled together.


    ¡°It¡¯s really nice.¡± Chen said softly.


    Early the next morning, Jiang Yunzhu took Jiang Cheng¡¯s carriage back to the mountain dwelling.


    Shen Fengming rode a horse and followed him, Jiang Yunzhu looked him up and down, there seemed to be nothing unusual, so he let him go.


    ¡°Boss.¡± We haven¡¯t seen each other for two days, Xue Jing and the others miss Jiang Yunzhu very much, and when they see her back, they warmly greet her.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at them and then at her own store, feeling very happy.


    The tea was not cold and opened for business, and Jiang Yunzhu stood behind the counter to check the accounts for the past two days.


    At this moment, Qin Zhen hurried in from the outside.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, I have something to tell you.¡± He said.


    He has also experienced strong winds and waves, and he has always been stable, but today he is so flustered¡­ Jiang Yunzhu suddenly felt bad, and asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Qin Zhen looked around.


    Jiang Yunzhu motioned for him to follow her to the backyard.


    There is a room for entertaining guests in the backyard, but ordinary people cannot come in.


    Qin Zhen entered the house, didn¡¯t even sit down, and said, ¡°The grain I shipped to Wuling County and Huayang County the day before yesterday were all inspected!¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t even bother to sit down.


    It turned out that another batch of grain was transported from Luzhou to Wuling County and Huayang County the day before yesterday, but as soon as they arrived at the gate of Luzhou City, a group of soldiers came over and said that they suspected that the batch of grain contained illegal salt and wanted to take it away for inspection.


    It was Qin Butler who escorted this batch of grain. He expressed and hinted that the grain was from Changyuan Grain Company. The leader didn¡¯t take in the oil and salt, and asked people to transport all the food back to the Salt Transport Department.


    This batch of grain weighed tens of thousands of catties, so it was a big deal. Steward Qin found Qin Zhen overnight.


    Qin Zhen felt extremely wronged. There was no illegal salt in his food. The Department of Salt Transportation, a department that is out of reach, Qin Zhen immediately went to He Zhizhou and told him about the incident, hoping that he could help him get the food back.


    Who would have thought that He Zhizhou would look embarrassed, saying that salt and iron were a major matter for the court, and Mr. Ma of the Department of Salt Transport was stern and selfless. He could only do his best, but he did not guarantee the result.


    Qin Zhen waited anxiously, finally waiting for He Zhizhou to come back, but saw He Zhizhou shaking his head.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it after Mr. Ma¡¯s inspection. Didn¡¯t you say that there is no illegal salt in your food, then it should be fine.¡± He Zhizhou said.


    Qin Zhen had no choice but to go back.


    However, Wuling County and Huayang County cannot cut off the grain, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted. Fortunately, they still have a lot of grain in their warehouses. This time, after discussing with the Tao family, he decided to try to transport 2,500 catties of grain abroad first.


    This time, no one came to check the batch of food. The food arrived in Wuling County and Huayang County safely, but Qin Zhen couldn¡¯t let go of his concern. Just passing by Qishanju, he came in to discuss with Jiang Yunzhu to see what she thought of this matter.


    Jiang Yunzhu frowned upon hearing this. This matter is not simple. The Department of Salt Transportation is a somewhat special department that belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs. He Zhizhou does not have the right to directly govern it. But the officialdom has always been a network of favors, she does not believe that He Zhizhou has nothing to do with the Salt Transport Department.


    Was Qin Zhen not agreeing to the marriage proposal proposed by He Zhizhou, and He Zhizhou deliberately embarrassed him?


    It shouldn¡¯t be so. Even if the Qin family is rich, they are just merchants. If it weren¡¯t for the recent severe disaster in Changfeng Mansion, food shortage, and the improvement of the status of the Qin family, He Zhizhou might not have to choose the Qin family to marry.


    What¡¯s more, Qin Zhen is also experienced in handling things, so he will definitely handle this matter satisfactorily.


    So who is it? What is his purpose?


    There was still too little information, and Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t figure it out.


    At this time, a person walked out from the cold tea and walked westward slowly. If anyone pays attention to him, they will find that the tea he had with Qin Zhen just now was not cold.


    After bypassing two streets, the man suddenly quickened his pace and headed towards the largest inn in the west of the city.


    After entering the inn, he went upstairs and knocked softly on the door.


    ¡°Come in.¡± A clear male voice.


    The man entered the door, closed the door behind his back, then knelt down and said, ¡°My subordinates will see you, Eldest Young Master.¡±


    ¡°Get up.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an asked casually, ¡°How is it?¡±


    The man stood up and told what he had seen and gained.


    Lin Ting¡¯an listened, taking a sip of tea from time to time, and there was nothing unusual on his face.


    After the man finished speaking, he waved his hand and let him back out.


    ¡°The boss whose tea is not cold?¡± He raised his eyebrows.


    ¡°It¡¯s a newly opened teahouse in Wuling County. The owner is a girl. She has excellent cooking skills and even won over Chef Gao in our mansion. She won this teahouse.¡± Behind him, a guard-like person reported. .


    ¡°Winning Gao Shun? That¡¯s really good workmanship.¡± Lin Tingan said. The voice is flat, and there is no emotion.


    The guard behind him shuddered, that Gao Shun was so bold that he even went out to compete with others in cooking without telling the mansion. Moreover, he also lost¡­


    Suddenly, Lin Ting¡¯an stood up and walked downstairs.


    After walking two roads, a carriage suddenly hit this side, Lin Ting¡¯an stopped, and the guard behind him held the knife at his waist and became vigilant.


    At this time, the carriage turned a corner and slowly slowed down, it seemed that it was just a false alarm.


    It¡¯s just that when it turned a corner, it caught a woman, and the woman threw herself directly on Lin Ting¡¯an.


    For a moment, his arms were filled with warmth and fragrance, but Lin Ting¡¯an frowned.


    The woman seemed to be frightened, and her whole body was weak and weak.


    ¡°Lin Qing.¡± Lin Tingan said.


    The guard behind him, that is, Lin Qing supported the woman with the handle of the knife, letting her leave Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s body without falling to the ground.


    The woman was wearing a bright red dress, and her waist was tight. She raised her eyes to see Lin Ting¡¯an, and said as if surprised, ¡°My lord, why are you here?¡± Immediately, she was about to salute Lin Ting¡¯an.


    Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s face darkened slightly, and he looked the woman up and down again, feeling that she seemed familiar.


    ¡°The maidservant Jiang Yunxiu is the servant girl of the mansion¡¯s kitchen. This time I was visiting relatives, I happened to pass by here. Thank you, Eldest Young Master, for saving me just now.¡± Jiang Yunxiu said eloquently. As she said that, she also blessed her with a gift, her twisted waist was like a spring willow in March.


    To be honest, Jiang Yunxiu is very pretty, but her desire to climb into bed is also obvious.


    Lin Ting¡¯an is the eldest son of the Marquis of Anping. He is proficient in all aspects of literature and martial arts. He is half of the ruler of the Marquis of Anping. There are too many women like her in the mansion.


    Lin Ting¡¯an ignored her at all and continued on.


    ¡°Young Master.¡± Jiang Yunxiu called softly, with some grievances and anxiety. If it was a man with a soft heart, he might be stopped by her call.


    ¡°Go back and tell the butler, he knows what to do.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an only said.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Qing agreed.


    Jiang Yunzhu also heard this sentence, and her face was as white as paper. Isn¡¯t she pretty enough? Lang¡¯s heart is as strong as iron! No, she must not be kicked out of the house, she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.


    Soon, Lin Tingan came to the tea is not cold.


    He stopped and looked at the three large characters on the plaque for half an hour.


    Lin Qing also saw those three characters. He didn¡¯t know much about calligraphy, but he also felt that those three characters were well written. Just looking at them, he felt like mountains and seas. He really didn¡¯t know who wrote them.


    When the tea was not cold, Jiang Yunzhu had already sent Qin Zhen away. At this time, she was standing behind the counter in a daze, still thinking about what Qin Zhen just said.


    ¡°Did something happen?¡± Shen Fengming came in from the back, habitually standing behind the counter with Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu regained consciousness and shook his head.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t ask any more questions, just stood there.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at him, picked up the account book again, and checked the accounts of the previous two days. Then she missed Xie Zhen a little bit, and he did this before.


    ¡°Do you want me to look at it for you?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu paused, no, he shouldn¡¯t be so nice to her, she was afraid that she would really be tempted. And Commander Shen, isn¡¯t it rumored that he is not close to women?


    Suddenly, Jiang Yunzhu remembered that night when he stood in the cold wind. He said he never thought of getting married before, he said his father and mother had been arguing all the time, and he was tired of that quarrel¡­


    At this moment, a warm feeling came from the fingertips, Jiang Yunzhu looked down, Shen Fengming was about to take the ledger in her hand, when his fingers touched her fingertips.


    Jiang Yunzhu quickly withdrew her hand, and decided that it was better to make things clear.


    ¡°Master Shen, I have no intention of marrying a rich family, I just want to be an idle person.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. She thought she had said enough.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Shen Fengming agreed, and looked through the ledger.


    Jiang Yunzhu was dumbfounded, did he understand what she was talking about?


    ¡°I, I just want to find someone who has the same goals as me to marry.¡± Jiang Yunzhu decided to make it clear that they were not suitable. She wants to spend her days idle, he is the commander of Qilinwei, she doesn¡¯t know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the Shen family is a family of poetry and calligraphy in Xia Dynasty.


    Shen Fengming raised his head.


    At this moment, Lin Ting¡¯an brought Lin Qing in from the outside.


    He saw Jiang Yunzhu at a glance, and his expression was slightly startled.


    Jiang Yunzhu also saw him, and stood there in shock. She really didn¡¯t expect to see him here.


    The two looked at each other.


    Shen Fengming happened to see this scene, his eyes were dark.

 Chapter 80

    Lin Ting¡¯an suddenly noticed another kind of gaze, which was cold and deep.


    He looked at the owner of his gaze, and his heart trembled. is it him? The person that countless people in the capital want to see but can¡¯t see is actually in a small restaurant in Wuling County? No wonder the three words on the plaque outside are so vigorous and powerful.


    Seeing Shen Fengming shocked Lin Ting¡¯an much more than he was shocked by seeing Jiang Yunzhu. For a moment, he forgot his purpose of coming here.


    Lin Qing didn¡¯t know Shen Fengming. He felt that his young master was very strange today. A person who has always been calm, first stared at a girl in a daze, and now he looked at a man in a daze? Although this man is handsome and extraordinary.


    ¡°There seems to be a mistake here.¡± Shen Fengming said softly, pulling Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s mind back.


    ¡°Where?¡± Jiang Yunzhu looked down at the account book, and his mood slowly returned to calm.


    ¡°Here, a plate of crab shell biscuits, a plate of lotus root cake, and a pot of Biluochun. It says 73 Wen, but below it says 68 Wen.¡± Shen Fengming pointed out the mistake to Jiang Yunzhu Look.


    Jiang Yunzhu saw that it was indeed so, she picked up a pen and began to revise it beside her.


    At this time, Lin Ting¡¯an also took his mind off, he heard Jiang Yunzhu talking to Shen Fengming, seventy-three pennies, sixty-eight pennies, he didn¡¯t know that Governor Shen would bother about dozens of pennies.


    He looked around, at this time there were some guests in the tea room, as well as the waiting waiter, but none of them seemed to feel that there was anything wrong with the scene just now.


    Lin Ting¡¯an had a guess in his mind, afraid that these people would not know the identity of the person behind the counter. Also, if Shen Fengming¡¯s identity gets out, the scene here should not be like this at all.


    ¡°Guest, what would you like to eat or drink? Please sit down.¡± Li He warmly greeted Lin Ting¡¯an.


    Lin Ting¡¯an regained his previous sternness and composure, and chose a seat by the window to sit down. While carefully looking at the surrounding environment, he ordered some tea and ate casually.


    Li He went to prepare.


    ¡°Go and check the owner of this store carefully.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an told Lin Qing.


    Lin Qing went out immediately.


    After a while, a plate of crab shell biscuits, a plate of mincemeat, and a pot of Dahongpao were brought up.


    Li He poured tea for Lin Ting¡¯an before turning around and leaving.


    Lin Ting¡¯an looked at the table, and saw that the tea bowls and plates were the same as the shop, and they were all thoughtful. The fine white porcelain plate was painted with gardenia flowers, and there were three small words ¡°tea is not cold¡± next to it. Although the patterns and characters are not as powerful as the three characters on the plaque outside, they are definitely not vulgar.


    This store is very interesting.


    Lin Ting¡¯an picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea. It¡¯s just Dahongpao of the upper middle class, but it¡¯s 100% tasted. Moreover, it is very strange, because Dahongpao is resistant to brewing, when other places brew this kind of tea, they will use boiling water, but this shop uses slightly cooler water for brewing.


    It¡¯s not that the latter is better than the former, but that he likes the taste of the latter.


    This Dahongpao seemed to be made especially for him.


    ¡°Who made this tea?¡± Lin Ting¡¯an asked Li He just passing by.


    ¡°It¡¯s a small one, why, the customer doesn¡¯t like it?¡± Li He replied.


    ¡°Who did you learn how to make tea from?¡± Lin Ting¡¯an just asked.


    ¡°Follow our boss.¡± Li He replied.


    Lin Ting¡¯an glanced at Jiang Yunzhu again, her look with lowered eyebrows was exactly the same as the leisurely and independent look under the fireworks.


    ¡°Guest?¡± Li He didn¡¯t know what Lin Tingan meant.


    ¡°Go down.¡± Lin Tingan said.


    Li He left inexplicably.


    Lin Ting¡¯an originally ordered something casually, but after drinking the Da Hong Pao, he became interested in the remaining two plates of pastries. He first picked up a crab shell biscuit, and saw that the biscuit was golden and round, really like a crab shell.


    One bite, the outer shell is crispy, the filling inside is slightly spicy and delicious, with a special sweet taste, very delicious.


    There is also the mincemeat cake, with so many dried fruits, it is not sweet at all.


    When Lin Qing came back, he saw that his son, who was usually a picky eater, had already eaten half a plate of crab shell pancakes and half a plate of mincemeat, and he seemed to have drunk a lot of tea.


    Lin Qing was amazed, strange things happen every year, especially today. Finally, he thought again, is the food in this store really so delicious?


    Lin Tingan looked at him.


    Lin Qing shivered, hurried over and told him. Jiang Yunzhu, the owner of this store, escaped from Changfeng Mansion with her parents last year. She began to live in Changshi Village and made a living selling a kind of breakfast called Hu spicy soup.


    Later, it changed to selling lunch, and then came to the county to open Qishanju¡­


    By the way, he inquired about Shen Fengming, his surname is Shen, his name is Yuyu, he is a grain merchant from the capital, and he lives here on loan.


    It is also worth noting that Jiang Yunxiu is actually Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s younger sister.


    ¡°Jiang Yunzhu.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an said in a low voice, rubbing the cup with his hand.


    After another quarter of an hour, Lin Ting¡¯an left, as if he was just an ordinary guest.


    Lin Qing was puzzled, my son, didn¡¯t he come here for that matter? Why did you just leave like this. However, my young master has always been unpredictable, so he doesn¡¯t need to ask, just wait for the order.


    Sure enough, after leaving the teahouse, Lin Ting said, ¡°Let that Jiang Yunxiu come to see me.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Qing said.


    Or the inn in the west of the city, Jiang Yunxiu was ecstatic, the eldest son wanted to see her? Did he finally¡­


    Before she bowed down, Lin Ting¡¯an said calmly, ¡°Tell me about your family.¡±


    at home? Jiang Yunxiu was puzzled, but she continued to speak.


    Regarding her family, what she remembers most clearly is how difficult life was when they escaped to Qinghe Village in the dream, and how beautiful she was after Jiang Yunzhu came back. Of course, none of this can be said.


    She only talked about what happened before fleeing famine, and she stuttered.


    As she spoke, she peeked at Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s reaction.


    There was no expression on the handsome young man¡¯s face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. But the more he is like this, the more he looks cold and extraordinary, making people dazzled.


    ¡°So, you don¡¯t know what happened after your parents escaped here?¡± Lin Ting¡¯an asked.


    Jiang Yunxiu was very annoyed. If she had known that Lin Ting¡¯an was interested in these things, she would have asked Mrs. Chen more.


    ¡°You should go home more often.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an said suddenly.


    Jiang Yunxiu didn¡¯t know what he meant, but she still regarded it as a golden rule. As long as he is willing to see her, she is willing to do whatever he asks her to do.


    Half an hour later, Jiang Yunxiu returned to Changshi Village with her big and small bags.


    Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Chen were naturally happy to see her.


    This time Jiang Yunxiu seemed to be a different person, he greeted the two of them, making Chen¡¯s eyes red, so naturally he knew everything about her and talked endlessly.


    Soon, Lin Ting¡¯an learned more about Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Fengming.


    This time, the matter of porridge and tree planting in Wuling County was really related to her, and he became more and more interested in her.


    Shen Fengming called himself Shen Yuyu, and he really concealed his identity from everyone. And he stayed here for a long time, he also guessed a little bit today, maybe because of Jiang Yunzhu?


    Everyone said that Shen Fengming was not close to women, who would have thought that he would hide his name for a woman.


    Lin Ting¡¯an leaned back on the chair, looked at the sunset outside, raised his eyebrows slightly.


    This Luzhou finally has something worth looking forward to.


    The tea was not cold. When Lin Ting¡¯an got up, Jiang Yunzhu saw it, and then she suddenly remembered something. For example, why the Qin family¡¯s food was suddenly investigated, for example, why Lin Ting¡¯an suddenly appeared here¡­


    The two seem to be unrelated, but what if they have to be linked together?


    Isn¡¯t it Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s usual practice to scare the snake away, follow the clues, figure out the whole thing, and control the whole thing? If anyone in this world knows Lin Ting¡¯an best, it must be Jiang Yunzhu.


    It is estimated that he saw the huge interests behind this matter and wanted to make a profit from it!


    Jiang Yunzhu felt a headache, this matter must never end.


    At this time, Shen Fengming had obtained information about Lin Ting¡¯an and why he appeared here. From the data, Jiang Yunzhu and Lin Ting¡¯an didn¡¯t seem to know each other, but how did she look at him today?


    Lin Ting¡¯an looks like a dragon and a phoenix.


    Shen Fengming looked up at the bronze mirror opposite, his current appearance was reflected in the bronze mirror.


    After pondering for a while, he said, ¡°Come in.¡±


    There was no one outside the house, but soon, a figure appeared, ¡°My subordinate Shadow Thirty-Nine, please refer to the governor.¡±


    ¡°Go and do something for me.¡± Shen Fengming ordered.


    ¡°yes.¡±


    Early the next morning, when Jiang Yunzhu went out, she saw Shen Fengming standing in the courtyard.


    He changed into a new suit today, a moon-white brocade robe, darkly embroidered with clouds and silver patterns on the collar and cuffs, making his figure even more upright, and the white jade crown on his head, haloing a little in the morning light, set him off perfectly. The whole person is shining like flawless jade.


    Jiang Yunzhu stared blankly for a moment.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, I remembered that when I went for a walk, I found a few wild cherry trees growing in a mountain depression. Counting the time, it should be almost ripe now. Do you want to go and have a look?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    cherry? Jiang Yunzhu only felt that his mouth was full of fluid. The wild cherries in ancient times were small, but when they were ripe, they were also sweet and sour. Moreover, how delicious cherries can be made!


    Coincidentally, spring is here, and she hasn¡¯t been outside to enjoy the spring scenery yet.


    ¡°Where is it?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take you.¡±


    ¡°Here, Mr. Shen told me the place. I can just hire a carriage. If there are many cherries, I can bring some more.¡± Jiang Yunzhu hesitated.


    ¡°Let me go with you, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t find a place.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought about it too. She prepared a basket, water, and some food, and took He Ying with her. She hired a carriage and went straight to the suburbs.


    Shen Fengming rode a horse and followed beside him.


    Now the spring is just right, and many people go out for spring outings, so it is very lively along the way.


    It¡¯s just getting more and more remote, ¡°My lord, are you sure this route is correct?¡± the groom who drove the carriage asked Shen Fengming.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s right ahead.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    The driver didn¡¯t dare to ask more questions, and continued to move forward until the road ahead became narrower and narrower, seeing that the carriage could not pass.


    ¡°This young man?¡± asked the coachman.


    ¡°Just stop here.¡± Afterwards, Shen Fengming got off his horse and said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Miss Jiang, you are just ahead.¡±


    Along the way, Jiang Yunzhu was still enjoying the spring scenery with great interest at the beginning, but then she became a little drowsy. Hearing Shen Fengming¡¯s voice, she woke up startled, opened the curtain of the carriage, and looked out.


    I saw cliffs everywhere, this?


    ¡°It¡¯s over there.¡± Shen Fengming pointed to the front and said.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked in the direction of his finger, but couldn¡¯t see anything.


    ¡°Go ahead and walk.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    He Ying jumped out of the car first, and hurried a few steps in that direction. Suddenly, she turned her head in surprise, ¡°Girl, come and see!¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu got out of the carriage and walked there too.


    At the beginning, I only saw some rocks. Who would have thought to walk a few more steps, and suddenly saw a small waterfall flowing down from the cliff over there, converging into a small pool. The water in the pool was sparkling and crystal clear.


    Beside the pool, there is green grass, and wild flowers of various colors bloom in the middle, colorful and colorful.


    What attracted Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s attention the most were the wild cherry trees on the side of the pool. At this time, the cherries are already ripe, and the cherries hang on the tree like agates, reflecting in the pool water, which is too beautiful to behold.


    Jiang Yunzhu was overjoyed, and walked quickly to that mountain depression.


    Soon, she smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, and then stepped on the grass, feeling as soft as a blanket.


    ¡°Girl, this place is so beautiful.¡± He Ying praised.


    Jiang Yunzhu nodded straight, she was indeed beautiful.


    At this time, she had come to those cherry trees, reached out to pick a few cherries, washed them in the nearby pool, and put them in her mouth. Delicate cherries, the teeth are broken at the touch, and the sweet and sour juice immediately overflows the mouth.


    ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡± She turned her head, wanting He Ying to taste it too, who would have thought that Shen Fengming had walked behind her at some point, and he was raising his hand as if about to do something, but when she turned her head, his hand just brushed against hers lip.

 Chapter 81

    The slightly callused fingertips brushed the soft lips.


    Shen Fengming practiced martial arts, and his five senses were far more sensitive than ordinary people. He only touched it lightly, and he knew that those lips were softer and more tender than the cherry next to him.


    Jiang Yunzhu raised her head, her small fan-like eyelashes flickered twice.


    Shen Fengming originally wanted to withdraw his hand, but it could be seen that she was like this, so he lightly rubbed her lips with his fingertips.


    ¡°Mr. Shen.¡± Jiang Yunzhu whispered, took a step back, and leaned half on the cherry tree. Her face is like peach petals, her eyes are like autumn water, but the cherries that are full of trees are not as delicate and charming as hers.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes were as deep as the sea, staring at her, as if he wanted to swallow her into his stomach.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t dare to look at him, she grabbed the tree trunk behind her tightly, turned her face away and said, ¡°Mr. Shen, please respect yourself.¡±


    ¡°You got something on your lips.¡± Shen Fengming raised his finger and showed it to Jiang Yunzhu. I saw that there was indeed a little broken cherry leaf on it, and the green leaf was very conspicuous in his hand.


    Afterwards, Shen Fengming raised his hand and took a bigger leaf from her head, ¡°I just wanted to help you take it off.¡±


    So Shen Fengming just wanted to help her take off the cherry leaf, but when she turned around suddenly, she bumped into his hand. Then, he helped her take off the leaf on her lips?


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s face turned red, so she made him ¡°self-respect¡± just now?


    ¡°Sorry, I¡­¡± She misunderstood.


    Shen Fengming said, ¡°I was the one who was abrupt.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know what to say, ¡°Mr. Shen¡¯s illness is cured, when will you return to Beijing?¡±


    Shen Fengming knew that he made her uneasy.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to return to Beijing in a few days,¡± he said.


    He was retreating, and he knew it.


    He was leaving, the thought flashed through Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s mind. Yes, he will definitely leave, it¡¯s just a matter of time.


    ¡°If Miss Jiang is willing, you can visit the capital with me.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Perhaps realizing that Shen Fengming will leave soon, Jiang Yunzhu suddenly relaxed, the two of them are like people from two worlds, they will be separated sooner or later, so why think too much.


    ¡°Forget it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled, and then she said, ¡°The cherries are delicious, Mr. Shen, try them?¡±


    Shen Fengming was kind, picked a few cherries from the side, washed them with pool water, twisted one with his fingers, and put it in his mouth.


    His hands were as long as bamboo, and he was twisting a ruddy cherry, which matched the red and white, giving people a stunning feeling. Especially, when the cherry was put into his mouth, the drops of water on the cherry stained his lips, making the red lips more and more gorgeous.


    The sweet and sour cherries are really delicious, Shen Fengming stood by the pool, the pool water reflected in his eyes, it seemed to be shining.


    His face is compelling, and he is handsome and stern.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked away and put a cherry in his mouth, but felt that it was not as delicious as before.


    Let¡¯s pick some and go back to make food. She put the remaining few in her mouth into her mouth, asked He Ying to bring the basket, and started picking cherries.


    ¡°I¡¯ll help you.¡± Shen Fengming said, and then he also came over to pick cherries.


    There is a branch of cherry on the high place that is so red that Jiang Yunzhu can¡¯t reach it even on tiptoe. At this time, a hand stretched out from the side to help her pick the branch of cherry.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Miss Jiang is too polite.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Still as before, ¡°Go back and cook something delicious for you.¡±


    ¡°En.¡± Shen Fengming said with a smile.


    The two continued to pick cherries. Occasionally, Shen Fengming¡¯s hand would touch Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s, but this time Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t make any fuss.


    The five baskets he brought were all full, and there were still many cherries on the tree.


    ¡°Let¡¯s come back tomorrow.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Only then did Jiang Yunzhu stop, feeling thirsty and tired.


    She brought water and food, and asked He Ying to get them from the carriage. At this time, she was sitting by the pool, but found that there were fish in the pool.


    ¡°It¡¯s a peach blossom carp.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said in surprise after taking a closer look.


    It is recorded in ¡°Benxinzhai Recipe¡± that the peach blossom carp can only grow in places with clean and clear water. Because the body is light red, like a peach blossom, it is called peach blossom carp. This kind of fish is tender and delicious, which is a rare good product. It is a pity that it cannot be cultivated, nor can it grow in large rivers, so few people encounter it, and after encountering it, it will be caught and wiped out soon.


    In the seven years of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s dream, she only spent a lot of money to buy it once in the capital. She didn¡¯t expect to meet her here today, and it looks like a lot.


    The pool is not deep, immediately, she wished she could take off her shoes and socks and go down to fish by herself.


    This is actually nothing in modern times. But Shen Fengming is still by the side¡­


    Is she really anxious, otherwise, let He Ying go back and get a fishing net?


    At this time there was the sound of water, it turned out that Shen Fengming took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers, and went down into the pool.


    The water in this pool looks very shallow, but it is actually half a meter deep. The peach blossom carps are very clever in it. If ordinary people go down, it will be difficult to catch them. But Shen Fengming stood there for a while, waiting for a few peach blossom carps to swim over tentatively, he stabbed one with a dagger, and threw it to the shore.


    The color of the peach blossom carp was even brighter when it was out of the water, Jiang Yunzhu hurried to the side, picked it up, then looked at Shen Fengming, hoping he could catch a few more.


    Shen Fengming moved very quickly, within a short while, he had already caught seven or eight.


    ¡°Enough.¡± Jiang Yunzhu hurriedly said, this kind of fish will die soon after leaving the original growth environment, and the taste will change. Catch too much is a waste.


    Shen Fengming went ashore.


    Looking at the seven or eight fish, Jiang Yunzhu missed her spatula very much. Steamed, braised or grilled are all excellent.


    They should go back immediately, so they should have time to do it, right?


    ¡°I¡¯ll bake it for you.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu raised his eyes, he can grill fish?


    ¡°Outside, when I often meet people who can¡¯t go to the village or back to the store, I will make food for myself.¡± Shen Fengming said, already put on his shoes, and went to pick up firewood nearby.


    Then he took out the fire folder, and lit a bonfire in no time.


    At this time, he took the dagger, went to the pool, quickly processed the fish, then skewered them on the branches, and put them on the fire to roast.


    After a while, the tail of the fish was slightly raised, and the fish began to emit fragrance.


    At this moment, Jiang Yunzhu saw Shen Fengming take out a box from a buckskin pocket on his waist, open it, there was salt in it, and sprinkled it on the grilled fish finely, the aroma became several times stronger.


    The young masters of the Xia Dynasty like to hang some sachets, incense balls, pouches and other things around their waists. Shen Fengming also has a few things around his waist. Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t pay attention to it before. Now, she is a little curious about what is in those pockets.


    ¡°Do you want to see it?¡± Sensing her gaze, Shen Fengming reached out to take a small pocket at his waist.


    There are all kinds of things in his pockets, many of which are specially developed and equipped by Qilinwei, just to deal with various emergencies.


    Jiang Yunzhu actually wanted to see it very much, and she also guessed that there should be many magical things in it.


    ¡°No need.¡± But she quickly shook her head and said, she was afraid that he would mention the word Qilinwei.


    Shen Fengming only thought that she didn¡¯t want to be too intimate with him, so he withdrew his hand and continued to grill the fish.


    The peach blossom carp itself has a faint fragrance, and it doesn¡¯t need any seasoning to make it delicious.


    After a while, the grilled fish was ready, Shen Fengming handed the fish to Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Young Master Shen, eat it yourself, this skewer is almost ready.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    But Shen Fengming said, ¡°It¡¯s agreed, I¡¯ll bake it for you.¡± As he spoke, he picked up the skewer and continued to roast it skillfully.


    Jiang Yunzhu had no choice but to pick up the skewer of grilled fish and ate it bit by bit.


    This peach blossom carp is really delicious.


    After returning to Qishanju in the afternoon, Jiang Yunzhu cleaned the cherries and put them in a pot to cook.


    While cooking, add rock sugar.


    Soon, the cherry will be separated from the flesh and core. At this time, filter them again to get fine pulp.


    Boil for a while, when the water is less, a pot of cherry sauce is ready.


    In ancient times, there was no refrigerator, and the fresh cherries could not be kept for too long, so they could only be made into sauce for preservation.


    Thinking that the tea was not cold and it had been a long time since new desserts were served, Jiang Yunzhu looked at the pot of cherry sauce and thought about it.


    Before going to bed at night, soak the glutinous rice. The next morning, Jiang Yunzhu got up very early, steamed the soaked glutinous rice in a steamer, and pounded it into dough after steaming until soft and rotten. Knead the dough until smooth, break it into small pieces, roll it out with a rolling pin, put a little cherry sauce in it, wrap the dough well, roll it in cooked glutinous rice flour, and a glutinous rice dumpling is ready.


    ¡°Girl, this thing is so pretty.¡± He Ying, who had been working by the side, immediately praised the dumpling when he saw the dumpling.


    No, the snow-white skin of this dumpling is filled with bright red cherry sauce, red in white, really like a beauty noodle.


    ¡°It¡¯s still delicious.¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled.


    ¡°Girl¡­¡± He Ying called out.


    She looks heroic and is taller than ordinary women. She usually follows Jiang Yunzhu and helps her carry things to block passers-by.


    ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, but she didn¡¯t realize that she was still a foodie.


    ¡°The girl eats first.¡± He Ying remembered her.


    ¡°You eat first, I¡¯m not in a hurry.¡± Jiang Yunzhu teased her.


    He Ying¡¯s cheeks were slightly red, and she took a dumpling and put it in her hand. She felt that it was cold, slippery and soft, cute and beautiful, and she was reluctant to eat it.


    Finally, unable to resist the temptation, she picked up the dumpling and bit down.


    The fragrant glutinous rice skin is soft and elastic, and the cherry sauce inside is sweet and sour. When you eat the two together, you can only feel saliva, and there is no such delicious thing.


    She stuffed the remaining half of the dumpling into her mouth in one gulp, her cheeks puffed up slightly, like a hamster.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked amused.


    At this time, Shen Fengming came out from the door, and Jiang Yunzhu called him from the kitchen, ¡°Young Master Shen, do you want to try the newly made glutinous rice dumplings?¡±


    Her voice was so clear, and when she yelled out in such a morning, Shen Fengming felt that his mood improved a lot.


    He stepped into the kitchen.


    Jiang Yunzhu handed him a freshly made dumpling, ¡°I made it from the cherries I picked yesterday, and I told you I¡¯ll make it delicious for you.¡± After speaking, she picked up the ending slightly, as if with joy.


    A smile was also on Shen Fengming¡¯s face, he took the glutinous rice dumpling, took a bite, revealing the bright red cherry sauce inside, paired with the dumpling that bullied Shuang Saixue, it looked like a beautiful sandalwood mouth.


    He looked up and looked at Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°How is it, taste?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°Delicious.¡± Shen Fengming said, and took another bite of the dumpling. The dumplings are soft, glutinous and smooth, which is really hard to put it down.


    Today, the tea is not cold and there are new pastries, glutinous rice dumpling, a plate of four costs 20 Wen.


    To be honest, it is a bit expensive, but after the first person ordered it, everyone was immediately conquered when they saw the dumpling. Beautiful and exquisite pastries, of course, are like alluring beauties, priceless.


    Everyone is talented, looking at the dumpling, immediately became very poetic.


    ¡°The sandalwood mouth is full of smiles, and the spring breeze is blowing to make you happy.¡± Someone looked at the dumpling and praised.


    ¡°Fine halo and light sandalwood mouth, heavy makeup and powdery cheeks.¡± Some people are not to be outdone.


    ¡°The pink face is slightly red, the sandalwood lips are shy, and the smile is fragrant.¡± Someone also laughed.


    ¡­


    Once this dumpling was launched, it became very popular, and Jiang Yunzhu had to raise the price once. Those wild cherries are not many, but they can¡¯t stand the sale like this.


    But what she didn¡¯t expect was that after the price increase, more people would buy it.


    At this time, Lin Tingan also placed a plate of this kind of dumpling in front of him. He picked up one with his slender fingers, took a bite, watched the little bit of bright red cherry sauce flow out, his handsome eyebrows lightly raised.


    ¡°Are you ready?¡± He asked Lin Qing.


    ¡°It¡¯s all over, Eldest Young Master.¡± Lin Qing said respectfully.


    Lin Ting¡¯an put the dumpling in his hand into his mouth, got up and walked out. He is determined to succeed in today¡¯s matter.


    He stepped into a teahouse in the west of the city, and several people inside immediately stood up in a hurry.


    ¡°Young Master.¡± They all saluted him, including He Zhizhou.


    It stands to reason that He Zhizhou is the head of a state, and Lin Ting¡¯an should salute him. But who made Lin Ting¡¯an the eldest son of the Marquis of Anping, and who made friends with the sixth prince! He Zhizhou may have to rely on him in the future, so of course he has to bow to him.


    ¡°En.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an responded casually, and sat directly on the main seat.


    This is a round table, including him, there are five people in total.


    He lowered his hands, sitting on He Zhizhou.


    On the other side of him, there was originally a short and fat man sitting. After he stood up and saluted Lin Ting¡¯an, he was about to sit down when he felt Lin Ting¡¯an was looking at him.


    A thin layer of sweat immediately broke out on his forehead, ¡°Elder Young Master?¡±


    ¡°Bring another chair to Mr. Zhang.¡± Lin Tingan said.


    All the people sitting there were smart people, and they immediately understood what he meant. The seat next to him should be reserved for others.


    ¡°Master Zhang, sit here with me.¡± The person next to Master Zhang quickly stood up, let Master Zhang sit, and then the person next to him also stood up.


    At this time, someone moved another chair, and everyone sat down again, looking at Lin Ting¡¯an, waiting for him to speak.


    Lin Ting¡¯an tapped the table twice, and said to Qin Zhen, ¡°Boss Qin, we need to talk about this matter, is there anyone missing?¡±


    Qin Zhen, who was named, felt his heart skip a beat, and said with a smile, ¡°What does the eldest son mean?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that there are still five percent of the shares. If she doesn¡¯t come, isn¡¯t it good?¡±


    Qin Zhen¡¯s scalp is about to explode, this¡­ How did Lin Ting¡¯an know¡­ He doesn¡¯t seem to have related this matter to¡­


    Before Qin Zhen could figure it out, Lin Ting¡¯an said in a deep voice, ¡°Boss Qin?¡±


    Qin Zhen had no choice but to ask Butler Qin to come in, and said to him, ¡°Go and invite Miss Jiang.¡±


    While talking, he wanted to wink Butler Qin so that he could remind Jiang Yunzhu.


    It¡¯s a pity that the house is full of powerful people from Luzhou. After Butler Qin came in, he didn¡¯t dare to look up at all, and he couldn¡¯t see his wink.


    Butler Qin quickly withdrew and went to Qishanju to find Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Boss Qin invited me over? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Jiang Yunzhu wondered.


    ¡°The master didn¡¯t say anything either,¡± Qin Butler said.


    Jiang Yunzhu hesitated for a while, and decided to go and have a look.


    Walking to the west of the city, he came to a teahouse in a short while.


    Taiminglou, the best teahouse in Wuling County, is full of private rooms, a place for rich people to chat and drink tea. It is different from the target customers of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s tea is not cold, and the two are relatively safe.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, right?¡± A waiter came down and led Jiang Yunzhu upstairs, with Butler Qin following.


    Jiang Yunzhu went upstairs and came outside a box.


    Someone opened the door of the box.


    The people inside all looked outside, and Jiang Yunzhu also saw what was going on inside, and her heart skipped a beat twice.


    Lin Ting¡¯an, next to him is He Zhizhou, over there is Wang Tongzhi, over there is Feng Canjun, then Qin Zhen, Tao Ling, good guy, she knows more than half of the people at this table.


    ¡°Boss Jiang, please sit down.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an looked at her and said.


    At this moment, Jiang Yunzhu felt that time and space were out of order. In her dream, she also participated in such tea parties several times. At that time, Lin Ting¡¯an would reserve a seat next to him for her to sit.


    Jiang Yunzhu lowered her eyes, ¡°I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to do it.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Lin Tingan said. He said it casually, as if it was just a small matter.


    Indeed, none of the people in the room dared to speak out, they just looked at Jiang Yunzhu and guessed her identity.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, sit down.¡± Qin Zhen was afraid that Jiang Yunzhu, a girl, would suddenly be embarrassed and cowardly facing so many big men, so he stood up to smooth things over.


    Jiang Yunzhu has come all the time, and it seems that he can only sit down.


    She walked to Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s side and sat on the chair. From the beginning to the end, she seemed to be strolling in a courtyard, with a graceful posture and a calm expression, as if she was not the owner of a small teahouse, but a guest of everyone.


    Qin Zhen secretly marveled, he really underestimated Jiang Yunzhu, he was not as calm as her.


    Others also have their own thoughts. When they first saw Jiang Yunzhu, they only thought she was beautiful, but now that they saw her like this, they seemed to understand why Lin Tingan let her sit next to him.


    Of course, there are also people who have crooked thoughts and can¡¯t help but think about the relationship between Lin Ting¡¯an and Jiang Yunzhu. A powerful man, a beautiful woman, hey, what else does it matter.


    However, looking at Lin Ting¡¯an, who is handsome and handsome, as bright as the moon, and Jiang Yunzhu, who is as beautiful as pearls and jade, sitting together, let alone, it really feels like a perfect match.


    Lin Ting¡¯an did not expect Jiang Yunzhu to be so calm and composed. She walked up to him and sat there, as if she was born to sit next to him.


    Lin Ting¡¯an felt his heart hit hard by something, making him clenched the teacup in his hand.


    He turned his head to look at Jiang Yunzhu. From this angle, he could only see her side face, but the long eyelashes like opium, the pupils hidden like broken stars, and the soft sandalwood mouth were all beautiful. amazing.


    Jiang Yunzhu could feel the eyes of everyone in the room, especially Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s, but she didn¡¯t look at them, she just wanted to get out of here quickly.


    But at this moment in Qishanju, a black figure knelt down and complained to Shen Fengming.


    Hearing this, Shen Fengming put down the book in his hand and made a ¡°pop¡±.


    The author has something to say:


    ¡°The sandalwood mouth is full of smiles, and the spring breeze is blowing to make you happy.¡± ¡°Thin halo and light sandalwood mouth, heavy makeup and greasy powder cheeks.¡±

 Chapter 82

    Jiang Yunzhu listened to their conversation quietly, and Lin Ting¡¯an really came to give up porridge and plant trees. He saw the huge interests behind this matter and wanted to get a piece of it.


    He wants to invest a sum of money, and then take a certain share, and finally, he hopes to sell all the silk produced in the future to him.


    His appetite is really not small. Sericulture and spinning can only be counted as the output of materials. In fact, the most profitable thing is to weave silk into exquisite silk and then sell it. Jiang Yunzhu actually discussed this matter with Qin Zhen at the time.


    Qin Zhen wanted to do it very much, but he was powerless. Now the stall is big enough, and if he builds a bigger one, he is afraid that he will lose sight of the other, and the chicken will fly away in the end.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s goal is to help those victims and Qin Yao, and now that the goal has been achieved, she doesn¡¯t want to ask for more.


    Now Lin Tingan wants to do¡­


    He has this strength, just look at these people on the table.


    At this time, bargaining began on the table, and these officials and lords were no better than those shrews when they fought for their interests.


    Lin Ting¡¯an didn¡¯t participate, he just watched and occasionally said a sentence or two, but it was these one or two sentences that often determined the final direction of the matter.


    Soon, the benefits were redistributed. The most disadvantaged should be Qin Zhen and Tao Ling. After all, they were the first to do this. However, Qin Zhen and Tao Ling did not show any signs of dissatisfaction.


    Lin Ting¡¯an must have negotiated the terms with them in private. Based on Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s understanding of Lin Ting¡¯an, she quickly guessed this.


    So what¡¯s the point of calling her here today? Anyway, it is already a certainty.


    Want her five percent of the shares? But from the beginning to the end, no one mentioned this matter, as if everyone ignored it.


    ¡°My lord, then we will take our leave.¡± The short and fat Mr. Zhang got up and said, immediately, everyone offered to leave.


    Jiang Yunzhu was just waiting for this. She walked up to Qin Zhen and followed him out.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Qin Zhen felt very sorry for Jiang Yunzhu, and he didn¡¯t expect Lin Ting¡¯an to be like this.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t blame him.


    The two went downstairs, and seeing that they had reached the door, He Zhizhou suddenly called Qin Zhen to stop.


    ¡°Miss Jiang.¡± Qin Zhen must give He Zhizhou face.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll go first,¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll apologize to Miss Jiang when I¡¯m done.¡± Qin Zhen left this sentence and walked towards He Zhizhou.


    Jiang Yunzhu walked quickly to the door.


    Already seeing the street outside, suddenly, ¡°Miss Jiang?¡± Lin Ting¡¯an came from the side and blocked her way.


    Jiang Yunzhu frowned and looked at him.


    ¡°I have something to talk to Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang¡­¡± Just as Lin Ting¡¯an said this, someone outside suddenly said, ¡°Miss Jiang.¡±


    The voice seemed to be soaked in ice and snow, it was cool, but it was very pleasant.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked out, only to see Shen Fengming reining in the horse and stopping there. The sun was just right outside, shining on him, making him look warm.


    Lin Ting¡¯an also saw Shen Fengming, and a dark look flashed in his eyes, Dudu Shen, you came so fast!


    Shen Fengming¡¯s gaze swept over Lin Ting¡¯an and landed on Jiang Yunzhu. ¡°Miss Jiang, do you want to go back?¡± He asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu naturally wanted to go back, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I have something else to do.¡± She said something to Lin Ting¡¯an and walked out.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, if you want to find me, come to Mingyue Inn in the west of the city at any time, and I will wait for you.¡± When the two of them were separated, Lin Ting¡¯an suddenly whispered in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s ear in a moderate voice.


    A girl, go to the inn to find a man? It¡¯s hard to say. Moreover, he said it so casually, as if there was such a relationship between them.


    There were other people at the door of the teahouse. When they heard this, they looked at Jiang Yunzhu with a bit of ambiguity.


    Jiang Yunzhu was angry, what does Lin Tingan mean? She doesn¡¯t seem to provoke him at all!


    Moreover, he should know Shen Fengming. In his dream, when Shen Fengming came to the door, his eyebrows were often filled with anxiety, why now he doesn¡¯t seem to be afraid of Shen Fengming anymore?


    Lin Tingan was afraid of Shen Fengming, but he was not as afraid as others. Yes, people in the Manchu Dynasty were afraid of him, and that was because they had a guilty conscience, but he didn¡¯t. Shen Fengming can¡¯t pour dirty water on him, can he?


    Another point is that the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince are currently in a stalemate. If Shen Fengming stands on which side, that side will definitely be even more powerful, so he is so important.


    But what if the two split the outcome? Then the one left, the first one to get rid of, must be him!


    Shen Fengming looked at Lin Ting¡¯an with cold eyes.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu had already walked outside, and then she found a problem, Shen Fengming came on horseback, what about her?


    A hand reached out to her.


    Jiang Yunzhu knew it was Shen Fengming¡¯s hand just by looking at that hand.


    He wants to take her on horseback?


    If it was normal, Jiang Yunzhu would definitely disagree. But now, she reached out and held Shen Fengming¡¯s hand.


    She felt that her palm was wrapped by a strong hand, and as soon as that hand exerted force, she got on the horse¡¯s back and sat in front of Shen Fengming.


    Shen Fengming rode his horse and left.


    Seeing this scene, Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s expression was gloomy.


    Let¡¯s talk about Jiang Yunzhu sitting on the horse, because of her height, she was almost surrounded by Shen Fengming¡¯s arms, her nose was full of the fragrance of moonlight from him, and even her skin could feel the heat from him, she immediately regretted it, Shouldn¡¯t be on a horse.


    She was also stunned by Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s words just now.


    She leaned forward as much as possible, trying to stay away from Shen Fengming, and then said, ¡°Young Master Shen, just let me off the horse, I can go back by myself.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll take Miss Jiang.¡± Shen Fengming¡¯s voice was somewhat cold.


    Jiang Yunzhu vaguely noticed that he seemed to be angry, he had never spoken to her in this tone before.


    She was stunned there.


    Shen Fengming was indeed a little angry, but it was not Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s anger.


    At this time, a few children ran out of the alley slapstickingly, in order to avoid them, Shen Fengming turned his horse around and went to the side.


    Jiang Yunzhu was thinking about it and didn¡¯t pay attention to it. In order to stay away from Shen Fengming, she leaned forward, but now, she leaned directly to the side.


    She turned pale with fright, but it was too late to grab something.


    At this time, an arm wrapped around her waist and held her in his arms.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s eyes widened, and she wanted to break free subconsciously, but felt that the hands on her waist were like iron clamps, and she couldn¡¯t break free at all.


    The slender waist seems to be broken if pinched. Shen Fengming never knew before that a woman¡¯s waist was so soft, and he was stunned for a moment.


    ¡°Mr. Shen.¡± Jiang Yunzhu called out.


    Shen Fengming let out a sigh of relief, Hei Zhanzhan¡¯s eyes slowly returned to calm, he let go of Jiang Yunzhu, and said, ¡°Miss Jiang, be careful.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu hurriedly sat upright, his whole body seemed to be on fire.


    Sensing her discomfort, Shen Fengming got off the horse.


    ¡°Mr. Shen?¡± Jiang Yunzhu was puzzled, what was he doing?


    ¡°Miss Jiang just sit still.¡± Shen Fengming took the rein of the horse and walked forward.


    He wants to lead the horse for himself? ¡°Master Shen, no.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said anxiously, wanting to get off the horse.


    Shen Fengming stopped her, ¡°It¡¯s just a little thing.¡± Then he continued to walk forward, his pace was neither fast nor slow, but steady and powerful.


    Sitting on the horse, Jiang Yunzhu looked at his majestic back and saw him shuttle through the crowd, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.


    Half a quarter of an hour later, the two returned to Qishanju.


    Shen Fengming stretched out his hand and helped Jiang Yunzhu down.


    Jiang Yunzhu hesitated, and put his hand on his.


    The slender and soft hands are in stark contrast to the slender and powerful hands. When the two are held together, there is a strange beauty.


    It¡¯s just not so comfortable in the eyes of some people.


    Jiang Yunxiu stood in the store where the tea was not cold, looking out eagerly. Just in time, I saw Shen Fengming leading the horse, Jiang Yunzhu sitting on the horse, and their hands holding each other.


    Jiang Yunxiu has already heard Chen¡¯s mention of Shen Fengming, a grain merchant from the capital. However, she really didn¡¯t expect that he was so handsome and handsome, and he seemed to be even better than Lin Ting¡¯an.


    This makes Jiang Yunxiu not annoyed, shouldn¡¯t Jiang Yunzhu marry Xu Qingshan and live in poverty for the rest of his life?


    Thinking that Jiang Yunzhu now has two shops, she felt even more unbalanced.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu had dismounted from the horse, and walked into the shop with Shen Fengming one after the other.


    Seeing this, Jiang Yunxiu hurriedly searched for people, and when she saw Mrs. Chen cleaning up the table, she walked over immediately, ¡°Mother, I will help you.¡± As she spoke, she wanted to help Mrs. Chen clean the table with a rag, but she stretched her hand halfway. Seeing that the rag was really dirty, she stopped there again.


    Chen stopped her, ¡°I don¡¯t need you, just sit there and rest.¡±


    ¡°Mother, you are so kind to me.¡± Jiang Yunxiu caught a glimpse of Jiang Yunzhu entering the store out of the corner of her eye, and deliberately raised her voice coquettishly.


    Chen said with a smile, ¡°You are my daughter, I am not good to you, but to whom.¡±


    Jiang Yunxiu seemed to have just seen Jiang Yunzhu at this moment, and called timidly, ¡°Sister.¡±


    Naturally, Jiang Yunzhu also saw her, and the ¡°deep mother-daughter relationship¡± between her and Chen just now.


    She agreed quietly, thinking about her purpose for coming today.


    Mrs. Chen also saw Jiang Yunzhu, and while sizing her up, she asked, ¡°Yunxiu wants to stay with me in the county for a few days, what do you think?¡±


    Mrs. Chen has a room in the backyard, but her two daughters are her darlings. She was afraid that Jiang Yunzhu would feel uncomfortable, so she decided to discuss it with her.


    But Jiang Yunzhu immediately remembered a lot, and just after meeting Lin Ting¡¯an, Jiang Yunxiu came to the door, saying that it was a coincidence, and it was too coincidental.


    reject? Qishanju is not like tea that is not cold. At that time, Chen Shi, Jiang Cheng, Jiang Lin and others all contributed. She seemed to have no reason to refuse Chen Shi. And with Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s character, he will not give up easily on whatever he wants to do.


    It¡¯s better to keep things on the surface than to guard against something unknown.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Jiang Yunzhu agreed and went back. She was a little tired from dealing with those people before, and now she wants to go back and rest for a while.


    She went to rest in the backyard, and Shen Fengming also left, as if this was just an insignificant matter, not worth her trouble.


    Mrs. Chen didn¡¯t care, but Jiang Yunxiu was annoyed and felt slighted.


    Didn¡¯t she just open two shops? There is nothing to be proud of.


    By the way, there is also that man. But that man is just a grain merchant in the capital, how can he compare to Lin Ting¡¯an, the eldest son of Anping Houfu, who is more noble.


    Thinking of this, Jiang Yunxiu felt better. Then she suddenly thought, yes, man, judging by Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s appearance with that man just now, it is not clear, if it is known by everyone, let¡¯s see how she will face others in the future.

 Chapter 83

    From that day on, Jiang Yunxiu kept paying attention to Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Fengming, thinking that if she could catch them, she would start a fight¡­


    Jiang Yunxiu suddenly thought of Tian Ying and shivered. But she immediately comforted herself that she couldn¡¯t be blamed for that matter, if Tian Ying hadn¡¯t done it, she would still blame herself for where she went to catch the adulterer.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know what she was thinking, she loosened her hair, lay on the bed, and fell asleep soundly.


    When she got up, it was almost evening, she stretched her waist and felt refreshed.


    At this time Li He knocked on the door, it turned out that Qin Zhen came and wanted to see her.


    Jiang Yunzhu packed up and went out to meet Qin Zhen.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, I¡¯m really sorry.¡± Qin Zhen apologized repeatedly as soon as they met.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Jiang Yunzhu was now energetic, and began to ask about the past.


    Qin Zhen still doesn¡¯t know how Lin Ting¡¯an knew about Jiang Yunzhu. He has never told anyone about it. Even Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s 5% of the shares, he has always said to the outside world that it is under his own name.


    Jiang Yunzhu was not surprised that Lin Tingan knew her, but why did he ask Qin Zhen to invite her. For her stake? But he didn¡¯t mention it at all.


    What else could it be for?


    Although Lin Ting¡¯an said that in her ear when she was leaving, she didn¡¯t feel that he would treat her like that just once.


    I can¡¯t figure it out at all.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, I have a gift for you.¡± Qin Zhen said suddenly. With that said, he opened the box in his hand, took out a painting from it and handed it to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Curious, Jiang Yunzhu opened it. But I saw that the pavilions, towers, pavilions, ponds, flowers and trees depicted in this painting are vivid and lifelike, but they don¡¯t look like they were written by any famous artist, but rather like a floor plan of a house.


    At this moment, Qin Zhen took out another thing, which was a key.


    ¡°This is a courtyard in the north of my city. It is not far from the courtyard where A Yao lives now. If Miss Jiang lives in the past, it will be convenient for her to walk around with A Yao.¡± Qin Zhen said.


    He actually wanted to give Jiang Yunzhu a house.


    ¡°How can this work?¡± Jiang Yunzhu hurriedly returned the painting in his hand to Qin Zhen.


    Qin Zhen said, ¡°Miss Jiang, listen to me. I know that what you did before was for Ayao¡¯s good. I wanted to give you a gift. This happened again today, and I Even more uneasy.


    Just accept this house, it¡¯s my favor. ¡°


    As soon as Jiang Yunzhu saw the painting, he knew roughly what the house looked like and its value, at least one thousand taels.


    One thousand taels, is that much? For Qin Zhen, not many. But for Jiang Yunzhu now, it was a lot, how could she accept such a heavy gift from him.


    Jiang Yunzhu insisted not to, and then said, ¡°Boss Qin, if you really want to help me, why not¡­¡±


    She told her thoughts, she wanted to sell her 5% shares to Qin Zhen at a discount.


    She has been thinking about this since she sat next to Lin Ting¡¯an. Now the matter of giving up porridge and planting trees has completely exceeded her expectations. Especially with Lin Ting¡¯an getting involved, she didn¡¯t want to get involved with him any more, so she might as well switch to money and freedom.


    Qin Zhen was shocked and even very puzzled after hearing this. It may not be a good thing for Lin Ting¡¯an to participate in the matter of planting porridge and planting trees. Backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade, this shows that their business is indeed profitable. Then everyone will make money together.


    Jiang Yunzhu is now withdrawing, and now she is all investing, and has not produced any output. It is difficult for her shares to be sold at a high price.


    From her point of view, she should understand this, why did she still want to sell the shares?


    Could it be because of Young Master Lin? Thinking of what happened before, he felt very likely.


    In fact, Lin Ting¡¯an is really outstanding. Among the young masters in Luzhou, he has a good family background, good knowledge, and a rare character. He has never played prostitutes or gambled. Many girls in Luzhou are fond of him and want to marry him.


    It¡¯s a pity that Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s background is too low, otherwise she and Lin Ting¡¯an would be¡­ No, Qin Zhen thought of the Mr. Shen who often followed Jiang Yunzhu, who was also a unparalleled person in the world, and many thoughts flashed through Qin Zhen¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, are you sure you want to sell?¡± Finally Qin Zhen asked.


    ¡°Sure.¡± Jiang Yunzhu nodded.


    Seeing that she had really made up her mind and there was no room for change, Qin Zhen agreed and bought her shares.


    ¡°One thing, I want to tell Boss Qin. I don¡¯t know what Mr. Lin thinks. You bought this share from me¡­¡± Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t finish speaking, but she believed that Qin Zhen should understand .


    This is likely to make Lin Ting¡¯an unhappy. However, Jiang Yunzhu knew that Lin Ting¡¯an still had a sense of propriety, and when the time came, he would probably not do anything to Qin Zhen.


    Qin Zhen frowned and pondered for a moment, and understood her worry, but if he wants to benefit, he has to take some risks, right? After measuring it, he felt that it was no problem.


    ¡°Okay, thank you, Boss Qin.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°I should thank Miss Jiang.¡±


    With the two of them like this, the price is naturally easy to negotiate. In the end, Jiang Yunzhu sold the 5% of the shares to Qin Zhen at the price of 1,500 taels plus the other courtyard.


    Jiang Yunzhu had long wanted to buy a house, but he had no money. After opening the backyard of Qishanju, it is very spacious, but it is not as good as a real house, with smooth front and back, and quiet inside. When Jiang Yunxiu came today, she realized that she needed a separate space.


    She saw the other courtyard in Qinzhen and liked it very much.


    The two hit it off.


    Soon, the two wrote a new deed, Qin Zhen got Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s shares, and Jiang Yunzhu got 1,500 taels of silver, as well as the house deed, land deed and key of the other courtyard.


    After Qin Zhen left, Jiang Yunzhu first went to transfer the house and land deeds to his own name, then looked at the 1,500 taels of silver note and fell into deep thought.


    Xue Jing had always hoped that she would open a restaurant in Luzhou, and she knew that this thousand five hundred taels was enough.


    But is she really going to Luzhou?


    Going to Luzhou definitely has benefits. There are more ingredients there, and after the restaurant opens, it will definitely make more money. Moreover, she is very familiar with Luzhou. It may be easier to open a restaurant there than to open this Qishan residence.


    But Luzhou has Lin Ting¡¯an, and those people she knew in her dreams¡­


    So how about going to Beijing? She couldn¡¯t help but think again, the eight streets and nine streets in the capital are full of treasures. She has been there several times in her dreams, where there are all kinds of novel plants from the west, all kinds of spices and seafood from the sea, and all kinds of mountain delicacies from the north, and all kinds of fruits and vegetables from the south. I have thought about it several times, opening a restaurant there, lying drunk on the porch and dreaming of the Iron Horse Glacier, and waking up to see the magnificent scenery of the capital.


    It¡¯s a pity that she couldn¡¯t help herself at that time, so she had to give up.


    So what now?


    Stay in Wuling County with peace of mind, or go to Luzhou, or the capital?


    No matter what, now that she has money, she feels that it is time to re-plan her life.


    Thinking of this, she got up and found Mrs. Chen.


    After taking a rest the next day, everyone returned to Changshi Village, including Jiang Yunxiu.


    Everyone in the Jiang family sat together and looked at Jiang Yunzhu. She called everyone together today, is there something wrong?


    Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°I want to ask everyone what they think about the future. I want to stop the takeaway business in the village.¡±


    As soon as these words came out, some people were surprised, some had expected it, and some sighed.


    ¡°Yunzhu, have you really decided?¡± Jiang Cheng asked.


    ¡°Well.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, the takeaway business in the village is dispensable to her now, and it will be stopped when it is stopped.


    Everyone was silent.


    ¡°I¡¯ll just stay here.¡± Mr. Chen thought for a while, then twisted his beard and said. He likes the current life very much, planting flowers, raising grass, and spending his old age in peace. Of course, it would be even better if Jiang Yunzhu and the others could come back to see him often.


    As for the lively county town, it has nothing to do with him.


    Jiang Cheng also thought about his own life long ago, saved money to buy more mules and carts, and together with Xu Qingshan, he will become the champion of the foot pulling industry in Wuling County. Three hundred and sixty lines, every line is the number one scholar. As for Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s restaurants and teahouses, they were all earned by herself. He is no longer a good father if he can¡¯t subsidize his daughter, so of course he won¡¯t ask for her money.


    A house? Just live here with Mr. Chen. The old man is old and lives alone, so he is not at ease.


    Well, if he has money in the future, he will build a bigger and better house for Mr. Chen to live in.


    But after all, it should still be in Changshi Village. It is convenient to drive and do business, and the place is spacious.


    Chen Shi naturally wants to be with Jiang Cheng, but if Jiang Yunzhu needs help, she will always help her.


    ¡°I, I¡¯d better continue studying,¡± Jiang Lin said. In order not to lose face in front of Jiang Yunxue, he took classes seriously every day and studied hard. The teacher often praised him, and he gradually found reading interesting.


    Needless to say, Jiang Yunxue also wanted to study. Regarding this matter, Jiang Yunzhu thought of Qin Zhen, maybe she has a solution now. Try it later.


    Jiang Wu is still too young, forget it.


    Everyone expressed their thoughts, and Jiang Yunzhu had a general idea in mind.


    ¡°If I want to go to Luzhou or Beijing in the future, you?¡± she asked.


    Needless to say, Mr. Chen, Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Chen looked at each other, both a little shy. Their daughter is capable, and they are afraid they won¡¯t be able to help her.


    Jiang Yunzhu understood that if she went, she would probably have to go by herself.


    Everyone has their own life, no one should sacrifice themselves for others. Even if the other person earns more, or his relatives, it shouldn¡¯t be, Jiang Yunzhu understands.


    Jiang Yunxiu watched from the beginning to the end, feeling contemptuous in her heart, these people only have such little ambition. They know how prosperous Luzhou is, and do they know what is eaten in Anping Hou¡¯s Mansion? They don¡¯t know anything.


    Just a bunch of wretches.


    When she heard Jiang Yunzhu say Luzhou or Beijing, she felt a little uneasy.


    At this time, Mrs. Chen noticed her and said, ¡°Yunxiu, how much is your redemption money now? How about we redeem you when we save up?¡±


    In the past two days, Jiang Yunxiu has often shown off her rich life in the Marquis of Anping¡¯s mansion, but Mrs. Chen always feels that it is just a job of serving others. In particular, she heard that the master can kill those who sell themselves like Jiang Yunxiu at will.


    Therefore, it is better to redeem her. In this way, she can find someone she likes to marry like a normal girl, and she will be a husband and a child.


    Mrs. Chen was kind, but Jiang Yunxiu was furious when she heard this. They wanted her to marry an ordinary farmer and live in the village for the rest of her life.


    In the dream, she listened to them and suffered so many years.


    Now she finally entered Anping Hou¡¯s mansion, and was appreciated by the eldest son, how could she come back.


    However, her eyes rolled slightly, ¡°Mother, it may cost twenty taels of silver.¡± It¡¯s good for her to get some silver for free.


    ¡°Twenty taels.¡± Chen was slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down, ¡°Okay.¡± With Jiang Cheng¡¯s current earning speed, twenty taels is not that difficult.


    Jiang Yunxiu regretted having less.


    When the crowd dispersed, Jiang Yunzhu found Mr. Chen alone, saying that she wanted to buy the house and give it to him.


    ¡°How can this be done?¡± Mr. Chen shook his head repeatedly. This yard costs six or seventy taels of silver. Just rent it.


    ¡°Grandfather, let me tell you in a whisper, I recently got a fortune from outsiders. This yard should be counted as my filial piety to you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Good boy, as long as you have the heart.¡± Mr. Chen didn¡¯t ask her much about the extra money, he just said that.


    But Jiang Yunzhu made up his mind to buy this house.


    She went to Mrs. Feng herself and asked if they wanted to sell the house.


    The Feng family built a new house, and it is useless to keep this house, so they are naturally willing to sell it.


    Jiang Yunzhu was grateful for the old lady¡¯s kindness in taking their family in at the beginning, and gave a slightly higher price, seventy taels of silver.


    Mrs. Feng doesn¡¯t want it.


    In the end, the two agreed that sixty-eight taels would be an auspicious number.


    Immediately, Jiang Yunzhu took the silver and obtained the deed and land deed of the house.


    She talked to Mrs. Feng for a while, and then left Feng¡¯s house.


    Old Mrs. Feng looked at her back with envy and admiration. She said that if she bought a house, she would buy a house, which shows that she has more than this money.


    Oh, if only she could have such a daughter.


    It¡¯s a pity that she didn¡¯t live up to her belly, and all she gave birth to were sons.


    Now I can only hope that my daughter-in-law can give her a good granddaughter.


    Other families are looking forward to having a grandson, and Mrs. Feng is already looking forward to having a granddaughter.


    When Jiang Yunzhu came back, he gave the house deed and land deed to Mr. Chen.


    ¡°You really bought it? So fast.¡± Mr. Chen was shocked, and then said, ¡°Don¡¯t give it to me, put it in your name, or give it to your father or your mother.¡± He still has a few more years to live.


    ¡°Grandfather, let me put it under your name, so I can feel at ease.¡± Jiang Yunzhu can remember that Jiang Cheng still has his mother and brothers, and the people in Changfeng Mansion have all fled. will come out.


    Although they might not meet Jiang Cheng, what if?


    If they meet, it will be an endless lawsuit.


    Putting the house in Mr. Chen¡¯s name will avoid many problems. Old people have something to rely on, old people have something to rely on, a house can¡¯t afford that word, but at least, it can allow Mr. Chen to live here in a legitimate way and spend his old age peacefully.


    After Mr. Chen understood Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s thoughts, his heart was moved. This child is really very clever.


    And she actually thought of him so much¡­


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that grandpa can¡¯t help you.¡± Old Master Chen sighed, otherwise he would definitely take care of her.


    ¡°Grandpa, what are you talking about. You are well, I am happy to come back to see you often.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. It is also a very happy thing to have relatives in this world.


    ¡°Then come back and see if you have nothing to do. I will plant flowers for you to make tea.¡± Last time Jiang Yunzhu saw that Mr. Chen planted a lot of flowers, he jokingly said that he wanted to make tea with his flowers. Who would have thought that Mr. Chen would remember it in his heart .


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°Okay.¡±


    Afterwards, she went to Jiang Cheng and gave him a bank note. This is a silver ticket of one hundred taels. Although it cannot fulfill all Jiang Cheng¡¯s wishes, it can save him a lot of effort.


    ¡°Where did so much money come from?¡± Jiang Cheng was shocked.


    Jiang Yunzhu repeated what he had just said to Mr. Chen.


    ¡°Yunzhu, you¡­¡± Jiang Cheng hesitated.


    ¡°Father, I didn¡¯t do anything illegal, the money came from a decent way.¡± Jiang Yun said.


    Jiang Cheng felt relieved, but he couldn¡¯t take the money.


    ¡°Father, just take it. The more you put in, the more money you can make. After you make money, just pay me back?¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Seems to be the case, it¡¯s just¡­


    ¡°Father, come a little bit. Buy a mule and a car first, and then develop slowly.¡± Jiang Yunzhu urged.


    ¡°I know.¡± Jiang Cheng is a steady person.


    But he quickly remembered another thing, ¡°Your mother has been thinking about redeeming Yunxiu¡­¡± He spent money to buy a mule and a cart, can Chen agree?


    Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, Dad, you can go to Anpinghou¡¯s mansion in person, if you can get her deed of sale, you can spend this money.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t believe that Jiang Yunxiu would be willing to leave Anpinghou Mansion at all.


    Jiang Cheng could hear the meaning in her words, ¡°You mean?¡±


    ¡°Father will know as soon as he asks. Anyway, Escort Li often travels between Luzhou and Wuling County. It is easy for you to go to Luzhou if you want to.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Jiang Cheng was silent for a while, ¡°I understand.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu was relieved. Jiang Cheng is different from Chen Shi, Chen Shi is too emotional and easily deceived, so she told Jiang Cheng about it.


    After talking about this matter, Jiang Cheng thought of something, ¡°The takeaway business in the village will stop, so what about Tan Debao and Fang¡¯s couple?¡±


    ¡°Tan Debao and I will go back to Qishanju. As for the Fang family couple, I want to ask them what they think and see if they want to work in the county.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Jiang Cheng said, ¡°Actually, Fourth Fang is also a good driver.¡±


    ¡°What does dad mean to let him drive with you?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°Let¡¯s ask him what he means.¡± Jiang Cheng said.


    He immediately called Fang Laosi and his wife.


    Fang Laosi and his wife had already heard that Jiang Yunzhu wanted to stop the takeaway business, and they were in a state of despair, when they suddenly heard Jiang Yunzhu asking whether they wanted to work in the city or drive with Jiang Cheng, and the two seemed to have found their way again.


    After careful discussion, Fang Laosi decided to stay in the village and help Jiang Cheng drive a car to make money.


    Their home and their children are all here, and they are familiar with this place. Since they can live here, they don¡¯t want to go to the city.


    Jiang Yunzhu understood.


    Tan Debao was extremely excited. At that time, Jiang Yunzhu said that he had been working in the village for three years and let him go to the county seat. Good guy, now that he has only worked for more than two months, let him go to the county seat? He was luckier than Xue Jing.


    He followed Jiang Yunzhu, the boss was long, and the boss was short, so Jiang Yunzhu was almost confessed.


    After lunch, Jiang Yunzhu planned to go back to the county seat. Don¡¯t delay this time like last time.


    It¡¯s just that this time someone came again, it was Gu Yongde, a middle-aged couple, and Gu Qifeng.


    ¡°Village head.¡± Jiang Cheng and others rushed out to greet him.


    Everyone was polite, and Gu Yongde said that he was pleased. He was entrusted by someone to come to find Jiang Yunzhu.


    He was entrusted by the middle-aged couple, who were his brother and sister-in-law. Ever since Gu Qifeng went to Luzhou with Jiang Yunzhu during Chinese New Year, he decided that he wanted to do business with Jiang Yunzhu.


    These days, he has helped a lot in the takeaway business in the village.


    Today he also heard that Jiang Yunzhu was going to stop the takeaway business, so he immediately became anxious.


    In fact, the Gu family and his wife slowly accepted that Gu Qifeng was not a material for studying. In addition, Jiang Yunzhu was indeed capable. In less than three months, he had established a firm foothold in the county. They were also afraid of delaying it. Gu Qifeng entrusted Gu Yongde to see Jiang Yunzhu.


    Ask her if she can hire Gu Qifeng.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t need any salary, just let him learn some skills from you, and we will be satisfied.¡± The Gu family couple said.


    ¡°His age¡­¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°I¡¯m not young anymore.¡± Gu Qifeng seems to be in the period of changing his voice recently, he opened his mouth and has a male duck voice.


    In fact, fourteen years old is really not young in this age, even Jiang Yunzhu is only three years older than him.


    Jiang Yunzhu really has a good impression of him, he has ideas, he is daring to fight, and he complements Li He¡¯s rigor and sincerity.


    She looked at the Gu family couple and Gu Yongde.


    ¡°Just accept him, let him run errands for you. If he is disobedient, you can have someone beat him up.¡± Gu Yongde said.


    The Gu family couple also nodded.


    After they all said so, Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°Okay, then let him go to Qishanju to work.¡±


    Everyone is happy.


    After remembering about Jiang Yunxue, Jiang Yunzhu took Tan Debao and Gu Qifeng back to the county.


    Qishanju added two more people.


    When Tan Debao met Xue Jing, they naturally had endless conversations.


    Gu Qifeng also seemed to understand what he was going to do, and followed Li He, yelling ¡°Brother¡± one after another, as if his mouth had been wiped with honey.


    Seeing that he is smart and diligent, Li He is also willing to take him with him.


    With the addition of these two people, Jiang Yunzhu seems to be able to be the hands-off shopkeeper with peace of mind.


    She decided to go to see her new house first.


    According to the address, she quickly found the house.


    I saw that Zhu Hong¡¯s gate was very grand.


    He Ying took the key to open the door, opened the door, and immediately saw the garden full of flowers and plants, full of vitality. There are also those house furniture, all of which are very clean and tidy.


    This is a house with two entrances and a courtyard. It can be regarded as a scaled-down version of a regular mansion, but it is ingeniously arranged. There are pavilions, lotus ponds, and gardens. Jiang Yunzhu fell in love with it immediately.


    He Ying also looked left and right, full of joy.


    Jiang Yunzhu immediately decided to move here.


    When she went back, she told Mrs. Chen about it. Mrs. Chen had already heard from Jiang Cheng that she got a fortune from outside, so she was not surprised that she bought a new house. I heard that ladies from wealthy families in the city have their own embroidered buildings, and Qishanju is still a bit chaotic with people coming and going. For a girl like Jiang Yunzhu, it is best to live in a private house.


    She went to see the house and was amazed, but she didn¡¯t want to move here.


    Now that Qishanju has two newcomers, she can do even less work. On the contrary, at home, Jiang Cheng now needs to buy a new mule and a new car. Without Tan Debao, there is no one to cook for him at home, so She wanted to go home and take care of Jiang Cheng and Mr. Chen.


    It seems that a lot has changed overnight.


    Jiang Yunzhu returned to Qishanju, thinking about moving, but saw Shen Fengming standing there, she stopped.


    She moved, where does he live?


    He used to live in her house, with Jiang Cheng and others in the family, and later lived in Qishanju, and there were many people in Qishanju, but she was the only one in her house, so he lived in it, so it felt like living together.

 Chapter 84

    ¡°Miss Jiang, is this?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    ¡°I bought a new house and want to move there.¡± Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s voice was a little low.


    ¡°What about Jiang Lin and the others?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu was questioned, and Mrs. Chen returned to the village. If she left, what would Jiang Lin and the three of them do? Who takes care of their living.


    Her new house is in the north of the city, and Jiang Lin and Jiang Wu¡¯s enlightenment class is also in the north of the city¡­


    ¡°They should live with me.¡± Jiang Yunzhu decided.


    Shen Fengming looked at her.


    Jiang Yunzhu hesitated for a while, ¡°Should Mr. Shen also move to that other courtyard?¡±


    Then she heard Shen Fengming say briskly, ¡°Okay.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu had the urge to give up on herself.


    The carriage has already arrived, and He Ying directs people to move things out.


    The ones who moved to the new house this time were Jiang Yunzhu, Shen Fengming, Jiang Lin, Jiang Yunxue, Jiang Wu and He Ying. As for Ho Hong, he left two days ago.


    Shen Fengming felt that he was worthy of training, so he was sent to the capital to receive training from Qilin Guard.


    Maybe next time he reappears, he won¡¯t be called He Hong, nor will he be in his current identity.


    Only then did He Hong know the identity of Shen Fengming, the world-renowned captain of the Qilin Guard Shen. Maybe others would be afraid after knowing this, but He Hong felt trembling all over, and that kind of fear tinged with excitement.


    He bid farewell to He Ying, hesitating whether to tell her Shen Fengming¡¯s identity, but in the end, he still didn¡¯t say. It might be better for her if He Ying didn¡¯t know about it.


    He Ying was reluctant to part with him, but the man had ambitions everywhere, and in the end she had no choice but to send him away.


    I was hurt for a long time because of her.


    Thanks to Jiang Yunzhu, she followed her, and slowly calmed down.


    They all moved away, and the backyard was left unoccupied. Oh, no, there is also Jiang Yunxiu, she still lives in Mrs. Chen¡¯s original room.


    At this time, Jiang Yunxiu watched those people moving things, and was so angry that she wanted to smash them.


    When Jiang Cheng got the money, he naturally wanted to tell Mrs. Chen, and as Jiang Cheng said, Mrs. Chen wanted to redeem Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s body.


    Because of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s words, Jiang Cheng had doubts about this matter, so he called Jiang Yunxiu over.


    Hearing that there was money, Jiang Yunxiu was secretly happy. She was about to make two more new clothes for the eldest son to show, but she had no money. Who would have thought that she would have money so soon.


    But before she was happy for too long, Jiang Cheng said that it was fine to take money, but he had to go to the Anping Marquis Mansion in person to get her deed of sale.


    ¡°Father, do you not trust me?¡± Of course Jiang Yunxiu would not let him go, she didn¡¯t want to leave Anpinghou Mansion at all, so she pretended to be wronged.


    ¡°I¡¯m also worried about you. Don¡¯t worry, as long as I get the deed of sale, I will tear it up immediately.¡± Jiang Cheng said.


    Jiang Yunxiu found all kinds of reasons, just not letting him go, and then cried to Mrs. Chen, hoping that Mrs. Chen could help her get the money.


    Her behavior was very abnormal. If she really wanted to leave the Marquis of Anping¡¯s Mansion, as a girl, she probably wished that Jiang Cheng could help her get a contract of sale, but she tried every means to shirk it.


    Jiang Cheng¡¯s heart sank, he already understood that Jiang Yunxiu was lying to him and Mrs. Chen. He doesn¡¯t understand what¡¯s wrong with her, since she came back this time, she¡¯s been weird.


    Mrs. Chen sold Jiang Yunxiu last year and always felt ashamed of her, but she was willing to give her money. But Jiang Cheng didn¡¯t let go, and she couldn¡¯t help it.


    Jiang Yunxiu didn¡¯t get the money in the end, so why didn¡¯t she get annoyed.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu actually bought a new house? She took a look at the house with Mrs. Chen, and it spanned courtyards and gardens, especially the furniture and decorations inside were very exquisite and gorgeous, and it might cost thousands of taels of silver.


    Where did Jiang Yunzhu get so much money? Moreover, she had so much silver, she didn¡¯t even give it to Jiang Cheng.


    No, she gave it, otherwise Jiang Cheng would not get the money.


    She just didn¡¯t give herself any money, and she didn¡¯t let herself move to her new house. Jiang Yunxiu just felt that Jiang Yunzhu was targeting her everywhere, so she couldn¡¯t see her well!


    Jiang Yunzhu and the others didn¡¯t have many things. Soon, He Ying directed people to move all the things to the carriage, and a group of people rode horses, and those who rode in cars went to the new house.


    The backyard of Qishanju was empty, and it happened that Gu Qifeng had no place to live. Tan Debao¡¯s home was also far away from Qishanju. There were also Xue Jing and his wife. Their home was too small and too dark, so Jiang Yunzhu asked them to choose a room in the backyard.


    Of course Tan Debao and the others were willing. After sending Jiang Yunzhu away, they happily moved in with their things.


    The people in the backyard were re-occupied, and they were all the cooks from Qishanju, which made Jiang Yunxiu hate Jiang Yunzhu even more, thinking that she deliberately belittled her and let her live with the servants.


    Tan Debao and others have met Jiang Yunxiu, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s younger sister, but Jiang Yunzhu seems to be lukewarm to her, and she usually looks down on them, so they are lazy to put their hot faces on her cold butt, yes She just pretended not to see it.


    This angered Jiang Yunxiu even more, she rushed out the door immediately to find Lin Ting¡¯an. She couldn¡¯t stay in this broken place any longer.


    Mingyue Inn, Lin Ting¡¯an just heard someone report Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s sale of shares.


    He tapped the table lightly with his fingers.


    It was Jiang Yunzhu who came up with the idea of planting porridge and trees. She should know how profitable this business will be in the end, but why did she sell the shares at this time?


    because of him? Other than that, there seems to be no other reason.


    Does she hate him that much? Lin Ting¡¯an stopped and pressed his hands on the table, his eyes were full of cold light.


    At this time, Lin Qing came in and said that Jiang Yunxiu asked to see him.


    ¡°Let her in.¡± Lin Tingan said, he happened to ask her something.


    Soon, Jiang Yunxiu was brought in.


    Today Lin Ting¡¯an was wearing an iris blue brocade dress, which made his eyebrows look like cold peaks, handsome and Qinghua.


    Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s face was red and her ears were hot. She really liked him.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s voice was calm, like a ladle of cold water pouring on Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s heart.


    Jiang Yunxiu lowered her head, ¡°My lord, I want to come back to serve you.¡±


    Impatientness flashed in Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s eyes, and he asked her about what happened after Jiang Yunzhu returned to the mountain residence yesterday.


    Jiang Yunzhu, the eldest son actually knew about Jiang Yunzhu, and even asked about her!


    Last time Lin Ting¡¯an just asked about Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s family, Jiang Yunxiu didn¡¯t notice anything, but this time Lin Ting¡¯an directly mentioned Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Yunxiu felt like a thunderbolt.


    Could it be, Eldest Young Master¡­ Thinking of Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s tender looks in front of Jiang Yunzhu in his dream, Jiang Yunxiu was at a loss for what to do. How could this be? Didn¡¯t she **** the short branch this time?


    ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Ting¡¯an said coldly.


    Jiang Yunxiu fell to her knees with a plop, looked at the corner of Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s clothes, and begged, ¡°My lord, please have mercy.¡± She wanted to grab Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s clothes.


    ¡°Lin Qing.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s voice was low, as if suppressing his anger.


    Lin Qing walked over immediately and drew out the knife at his waist, the light of the knife shone on Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s face with a cold light.


    Jiang Yunxiu was so frightened that she withdrew her hand and limp there.


    Finally, Jiang Yunxiu told all the things that happened after Jiang Yunzhu went back yesterday.


    Coming out of the inn, Jiang Yunxiu kicked the wall hard, feeling extremely resentful and wronged. But she still has to go back to Qishanju, Lin Ting¡¯an ordered.


    Here Lin Ting¡¯an sat there with a dazed expression on his face. The scene of Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Fengming riding together yesterday is still vivid in my memory. Today, the two moved into a house again?


    Soon, he took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter and handed it to Lin Qing, ¡°Send someone to send it to the capital quickly.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Qing took the letter and agreed to go out.


    Jiang Yunzhu moved to a new house, the environment of this house is quiet, you can see the flowers and trees when you open the window, and you can hear the birdsong with your ears, she just feels refreshed.


    The next afternoon, when Qin Yao and Lin Yubai came back, they found that Jiang Yunzhu had moved to the next street, and they were very happy.


    The two went to the door immediately.


    ¡°Look at what I brought you.¡± Qin Yao said softly as soon as she entered the door.


    ¡°What?¡± Jiang Yunzhu greeted her with a smile, and saw what she was holding in her hand. It was a lion cat with white fur all over its body.


    The lion cat is a hybrid of a Persian cat and a native cat. During the Tang Dynasty, the Persians brought Persian cats to Middle-earth, and this kind of cat has always been very popular with noble ladies and wives. The lion cat has long hair and stands like a lion. It is more powerful than the Persian cat. Some people prefer this kind of cat.


    Especially the one in Qin Yao¡¯s arms, with a pair of mandarin duck eyes and white hair mopping the floor, is even more precious.


    ¡°It¡¯s for you. I thought it might not be good for you to keep it in the store. Now that you have moved to a new house, it¡¯s just right.¡± Qin Yao said, handing the cat in her arms to Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°This cat¡­¡± Very expensive, Jiang Yunzhu wanted to say.


    ¡°Why, you don¡¯t like it?¡± Qin Yao misunderstood.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought it over, Qin Yao¡¯s mind. Or in her heart, she never thought about whether the cat is expensive or not, she only cares about whether she likes it or not.


    ¡°I like it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu reached out to pick it up, she likes cats, not to mention, this cat is so beautiful.


    The lion cat was as white as snow, Jiang Yunzhu hugged it, it didn¡¯t struggle, just looked lazy.


    After picking it up, the hair is soft and slippery, Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t put it down, ¡°What¡¯s the name of this cat?¡±


    ¡°You haven¡¯t picked it up yet, just give me one. From now on, it will be yours.¡± Qin Yao laughed.


    Jiang Yunzhu saw that the cat had long hair on its neck and was lazily lying on its stomach. It really looked like a little lion, and suddenly laughed, ¡°Then why not call it Simba.¡± Well, the little lion should be called Simba.


    ¡°Simba?¡± Qin Yao was puzzled, such a strange name.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t explain it either, this was probably a little memory that belonged to her alone.


    ¡°I think the name is quite interesting.¡± Lin Yubai said.


    ¡°You know again?¡± Qin Yao and him are usually noisy.


    Lin Yubai snorted, picked up the two jars of wine in his hands, ¡°I got two jars of Bilingxiang, let¡¯s taste them together.¡±


    Bilingxiang is a kind of wine made from the special biling fruit of Yunwu Mountain. The wine tastes slightly fragrant and sweet, and is most suitable for women to drink. The output is very small, and it is rarely seen in the world. Lin Yubai also put his heart into this gift.


    When others treated him sincerely, Jiang Yunzhu naturally responded enthusiastically, ¡°Let¡¯s eat roasted whole lamb at night,¡± she said.


    ¡°Great.¡± Qin Yao said to Lin Yubai. The two of them have been busy outside these days, and what they miss most is Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s craftsmanship.


    I bought a sheep, pickled it early, and made some fruits. When the night fell, I lit a bonfire by the pond in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s yard, and the sheep that had been marinated was put to roast On the shelf, a tempting fragrance wafts out after a while.


    Today is April 15th, and the moon in the sky is round and bright, illuminating the earth with brilliance.


    ¡°Come, taste this bilingxiang.¡± There were Jiang Yunzhu, Shen Fengming, Lin Yubai, Qin Yao, and Jiang Lin beside the bonfire, and Lin Yubai poured wine for everyone.


    The wine was poured into a white porcelain cup, it was emerald green and exuded bursts of fruity fragrance.


    ¡°Children can only drink one cup.¡± Lin Yubai said to Jiang Wu.


    Jiang Wu pouted, he really wanted to grow up quickly, and then he would not have to read that Lao Shizi book, and be able to do what he liked.


    ¡°Yun Xue and Jiang Lin shouldn¡¯t drink too much, this wine smells sweet and has quite a bit of stamina,¡± Jiang Yunzhu warned.


    The two agreed.


    Everyone tasted the bilingxiang, and it was different from ordinary wine, with a faint sweet taste.


    ¡°Delicious.¡± Qin Yao praised.


    ¡°Is the meat ready?¡± Lin Yubai asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s almost there.¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled back.


    There is a small knife next to it. This roasted whole lamb is only interesting if you cut it and eat it yourself.


    Everyone coveted the mutton for a long time, and immediately took a knife to cut the mutton.


    Jiang Yunzhu helped Jiang Wu cut a piece first, and when he wanted to cut it for himself, he found that there was already a piece in the bowl. She looked at Shen Fengming at the side, and met his dark eyes, she looked away, dipped the meat into the seasoning, and put it in her mouth.


    The meat is delicious, the wine is delicious, and if you get tired, you can still eat one or two fruits.


    ¡°Do you think there is really Chang¡¯e on the moon?¡± Everyone chatted while eating and drinking.


    The firelight mixed with the moonlight, shining on the water, the light and shadow floated.


    On such a night, drinking and chatting with a few friends is really a great joy in life.


    Everyone was very happy. When the interest was strong, Qin Yao even stood up and performed a dance for everyone, which won the applause of everyone.


    In order to facilitate everyone to enjoy the moon, Jiang Yunzhu also prepared two rocking chairs by the pond.


    At this moment, she was lying on the rocking chair, looking at the bright moon in the sky, listening to everyone¡¯s talking and laughing, her eyes were full of smiles. This is probably the life she wants.


    I don¡¯t know how long it took, but the flames of the bonfire became smaller and smaller.


    Jiang Wu and the others have already gone back to rest.


    Qin Yao drank a lot of wine, and at this time the aftertaste of drinking came back, she stood up in a daze, ready to go back.


    ¡°I¡¯ll see her off, let¡¯s go first.¡± Lin Yubai said to Shen Fengming.


    Why didn¡¯t you tell Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Yunzhu also drank a lot of wine, and now he was leaning on the rocking chair, as if he had fallen asleep.


    ¡°Be careful on the road.¡± Shen Fengming stood up and sent them off.


    Lin Yubai glanced at Jiang Yunzhu, who was blushing from the corner of his eye, and helped Qin Yao away.


    Shen Fengming kept sending them to the door, as if he was the master of the house.


    When he came back, there were only two rocking chairs and Jiang Yunzhu on the rocking chairs by the pond.


    Her arms were hanging out of the chair, revealing a section of her wrist, which was shining white by the moonlight.


    Shen Fengming walked to the rocking chair, reached out to pick up her hand, and wanted to put it on the chair for her, so as not to cause her shortness of breath.


    But after holding her hand, he was suddenly reluctant to let it go.


    He held her hand, slowly intertwining her fingers.


    Jiang Yunzhu woke up and felt the hand that was entangled with her. There was a little callus on that hand, which was entangled with her hand, and she could clearly feel the texture, heat and strength of that hand.


    It stands to reason that she should shake it off.


    Maybe she drank a little too much today, or maybe she didn¡¯t have enough strength, but she let that hand wrap her hand tighter and tighter.


    In fact, Shen Fengming felt it as soon as she woke up.


    But she didn¡¯t refuse him.


    Realizing this, something seemed to be surging in Shen Fengming¡¯s heart, and he looked at Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu leaned there without opening her eyes, but sometimes her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, indicating that she was indeed awake.


    In the evening, she ate a lot of peppers, and then drank a lot of wine. At this moment, her lips are more beautiful than the most delicate peony.


    Shen Fengming lowered his head and touched her lips lightly.


    It¡¯s cool, with a little sweetness of wine, which makes people feel distracted.


    Different from Shen Fengming¡¯s feeling, Jiang Yunzhu felt the heat on her lips, and most of the alcoholism went away in an instant.


    He, he actually kissed her.


    Should she open her eyes? But what to say when you open your eyes.


    Her mind was in a mess, but Shen Fengming pressed her lips again as if he knew the taste.


    He had never kissed a woman before, but instinctively, he wanted more, so he kept asking and searching.


    Jiang Yunzhu finally realized that this cannot go on.


    It¡¯s just that she wanted to make a sound, but that sound was swallowed by Shen Fengming.


    She wanted to push him, but her hands were still wrapped around him.


    When Shen Fengming finally let go of Jiang Yunzhu, she was already limp into a ball.


    She closed her eyes, and she didn¡¯t want to open them at all. Anyway, what shouldn¡¯t have happened has already happened. What are you doing with your eyes open? It¡¯s embarrassing.


    Shen Fengming laughed, she rarely showed such a side, it was very interesting.


    Intoxicated by the spring breeze, he bent down to pick her up and went to the bedroom.

 Chapter 85

    Jiang Yunzhu heard Shen Fengming¡¯s laughter. First thought, he could laugh, and then thought, what is he laughing at, is he laughing at her?


    Thinking of this possibility, she didn¡¯t even want to open her eyes.


    At this time, Shen Fengming suddenly picked her up, she was flustered, but she didn¡¯t know what to do.


    He Ying saw Shen Fengming carrying Jiang Yunzhu to her bedroom, leaning out half of her body to stop her, but when she met Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes, she froze there.


    When the two left, she was annoyed and ashamed, feeling sorry for Jiang Yunzhu.


    Soon, Shen Fengming carried Jiang Yunzhu to the bedroom and put her on the bed.


    The light blue window curtains, the jade-colored brocade quilt, and the crabapple outside the window swaying in the wind, the shadows falling on the window lattice, shaking people¡¯s mind.


    Shen Fengming sat by the bed, looked at the person on the bed, couldn¡¯t help lowering his head, pressing it on her lips, tossing and turning for a long time, yearning for her beauty.


    After a while, he got up, covered her with the brocade quilt, got up and left.


    At this time, his face was also a little red. He wanted her very much, but he didn¡¯t want to belittle her, so he wanted her again when they got married.


    After Shen Fengming left, the room was quiet.


    Jiang Yunzhu opened her eyes, stared blankly at the top of the bed, and suddenly covered her eyes with her arms, feeling extremely frustrated.


    Waking up the next morning, He Ying waited for her to wash.


    He Ying glanced at Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s lips, and said in shame, ¡°Girl, it was my fault last night, I¡­¡±


    ¡°Last night, what happened last night?¡± Jiang Yunzhu seemed to have completely forgotten what happened last night.


    He Ying froze for a moment, then quickly shook her head, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll help you cook what the girl wants to eat in the morning.¡± She can also cook, but the ones she cooks are not as delicious as Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu really didn¡¯t want to go to the kitchen by himself, so he said, ¡°Just do whatever you want.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± He Ying agreed.


    After she left, Jiang Yunzhu picked up the mirror and looked inside. The lips are a little sore and seem to be swollen.


    Maybe I ate too much chili yesterday, so I should eat something light today, she thought.


    In the yard, she met Shen Fengming, and she greeted him as usual.


    After breakfast, she was supposed to go to live in the mountains, but thinking of the appearance of her lips at this time, she decided to rest at home for a day.


    This house has a study room, Qin Zhen left all the things in the house to Jiang Yunzhu, and took nothing away, so the study room has everything, even several shelves of books.


    Jiang Yunzhu decided to see what books were available. If there was a story book, she could read it for a while.


    After rummaging around, she really found two story books. She asked He Ying to make tea for her. She leaned back in the armchair and read the books.


    After an unknown amount of time, Shen Fengming walked in from the outside, holding a small box in his hand.


    ¡°Miss Jiang.¡± He stopped across from the desk.


    Jiang Yunzhu raised her head, and the breeze came from outside the window, blowing the broken hair on her temples.


    Shen Fengming handed her the small box in his hand, ¡°Last night¡­¡±


    ¡°I fell asleep unknowingly last night, didn¡¯t you neglect Mr. Shen?¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Shen Fengming looked at her coldly, what did she mean, she forgot what happened last night?


    Jiang Yunzhu was a little uncomfortable being watched by him, but she insisted on smiling at him, as if she really didn¡¯t remember what happened last night.


    Of course, she remembered. It¡¯s just that she wants to pretend that none of that happened. At this time, she thought of those scumbags who lied after drinking that they didn¡¯t remember and didn¡¯t want to be responsible, and she felt that she was about the same.


    Shen Fengming understood what she meant, raised his eyebrows, did she have to do this?


    Jiang Yunzhu rolled his eyes.


    ¡°Why are Miss Jiang¡¯s lips a little swollen?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    ¡°I ate too much chili last night and drank some wine.¡± Jiang Yunzhu felt vaguely uneasy, but still quibbled.


    ¡°Oh?¡± Shen Fengming said, coming to her side, the tall figure completely covered the sunlight that came through from the other side, casting a large shadow.


    Under his shadow, Jiang Yunzhu felt more uneasy. She leaned on the chair, wanted to stand up, and said, ¡°I¡¯m a little tired and want to go back to my room.¡±


    The next moment, Shen Fengming bit her lip.


    She wants to struggle.


    His hands pinched the back of her neck, making her unable to move at all.


    Her pupils were a little slack, as if she was looking at someone close at hand, but also seemed to have fallen into his deep eyes.


    Shen Fengming just tasted it this time, so he let her go, and said, ¡°I thought Miss Jiang¡¯s lips were so swollen.¡± His voice at this time was still cold, even his expression was the same, but what he said made people feel embarrassed. Red ears.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at him, unable to believe that he would say such a thing.


    He was retaliating for what she said just now, suddenly, this idea flashed in her mind, and she glared at Shen Fengming.


    The watery eyes stared over like this, feeling a little bit annoyed.


    Shen Fengming opened the small box in his hand, got some ointment from it with his fingers, and applied it on Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s lips.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt very comfortable when the cool ointment touched her lips, but it would be even better if the man¡¯s hand was not there.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± She reached out and grabbed his hand, trying to push it away.


    Like a mountain, it can¡¯t be pushed at all.


    Jiang Yunzhu was suddenly a little annoyed, so he simply sat there, treating himself like a wooden man, unable to see or feel.


    Shen Fengming quickly helped her apply the ointment, and kissed her forehead lightly.


    With a feeling of pity, without any desire.


    This kiss fell into Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart like a feather.


    After Shen Fengming left, Jiang Yunzhu lay prone on the table, unable to read the words he had just read with gusto.


    At this moment, Simba jumped onto the desk, squatted down in front of her, and looked at her curiously with one blue and one yellow eyes.


    Jiang Yunzhu hugged it in her arms and rubbed its fur several times before she felt calmed down.


    When eating at noon, there was Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s favorite winter melon pork ribs soup on the table. Shen Fengming naturally served her a bowl. Jiang Yunzhu looked at the soup for a long time and drank it.


    In the afternoon, I had nothing to do in my free time. There was an arhat bed under the study window. Jiang Yunzhu was tired from sitting on the chair, so she leaned on it.


    There is a small table in the middle of Luohan¡¯s bed, on which there is a plate of orchid beans, a plate of dried fruit, and a plate of cherries. She can eat while reading the storybook, which is very comfortable.


    At this time Shen Fengming came in, he was sitting on the other side of the Arhat¡¯s bed, and at first he also took a book to read.


    After looking for a while, he saw a guqin beside him, so he took it and put it on his lap.


    After fiddled with his hands a few times, the sound was as pleasant as broken Kunshan jade.


    Jiang Yunzhu was immediately attracted.


    ¡°What song do you want to hear?¡± Shen Fengming asked casually.


    Jiang Yunzhu, continue to read the script. But Shen Fengming kept looking at her, as if waiting for her to speak.


    ¡°¡±Guan Shanyue¡±¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, the book she read was about the scenery beyond the Great Wall, which made people yearn for it.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Fengming agreed.


    He flicked lightly with his fingertips, and the sound of the frontier fortress came out. The lonely smoke in the desert, the setting sun on the long river, among which there are tens of thousands of miles of mighty long winds, and the faint sound of killing and lamenting¡­


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at him sideways, her heart fluctuating with the sound of the piano. I feel like a butterfly caught in a net, trying to struggle but being entangled more and more tightly.


    Perhaps, only when he returns to Beijing can everything end!


    For the next few days, Jiang Yunzhu felt a little self-defeating.


    Of course, if you don¡¯t consider other things, this kind of life is quite happy.


    In the middle, Lin Tingan came to tea several times, sometimes he just sat there drinking tea, sometimes he would chat with Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Yunzhu avoided him if he could.


    Later, she wanted to put up a sign at the door of the store, ¡°No one surnamed Lin is allowed to enter.¡± Of course, she thought about it.


    Fortunately, Lin Ting¡¯an seemed to have something to do at this time, and she was relieved to leave Wuling County, and she only hoped that he would never come back.


    On this day in Luzhou, several carriages were parked outside a courtyard.


    Lin Ting¡¯an came out to greet him in person, and an old man with a fat body and gray hair got off the carriage.


    The old man was wearing a boa robe, and he was not angry.


    ¡°My lord, why did you come in person?¡± Lin Ting¡¯an asked in surprise.


    ¡°That person¡­¡± King Huainan wanted to ask something.


    ¡°My lord, let¡¯s talk in the room.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an said.


    King Huainan nodded and stepped into the house.


    In the room, King Huainan heard Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s words, and angrily swept everything on the table to the ground. He has no son, and it seems that he will have no children and grandchildren. Everyone said that he is not a womanizer, and he is still waiting for him to die alone. Why, he has a woman he likes?


    Also ask him if he agrees or not.


    In Wuling County, Jiang Yunzhu told Qin Zhen about the Huaying Academy a few days ago. Qin Zhen was very surprised, ¡°Ms. Jiang has a good relationship with Mr. Lin?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu heard what he meant, ¡°You mean, Lin Yubai is¡­¡±


    ¡°He is the only legitimate son of the second master of the Lin family.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu was a little dazed. In the dream, it seemed that the second master of the Lin family was gone¡­ By the way, about Qin Yao, Lin Yubai must have died in the hands of Xie Yong in the dream, so she didn¡¯t listen to it when she gained a firm foothold in the Anping Hou Mansion. Said him.


    ¡°He didn¡¯t tell me his identity.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Qin Zhen was a little surprised.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t think it was a big deal, Shen Fengming didn¡¯t reveal his identity, everyone would get along if they got together.


    Soon, Jiang Yunzhu found Lin Yubai and asked him about Huaying Academy and whether Jiang Yunxue had a chance to study there.


    ¡°This matter.¡± Lin Yubai wanted to say it was very simple, but thinking of his father¡¯s old-fashioned temper, he didn¡¯t dare to take it all in. ¡°I can recommend her to my father. As for whether my father will accept her or not, still have to see¡­


    Hey, otherwise I¡¯ll just go to my mother and forget it, or my mother loves me. ¡°Lin Yubai said so, but he also felt that it might not be possible for his mother to transfer to his father.


    ¡°You can just help with the introduction. If Yunxue really doesn¡¯t have the qualifications, it¡¯s not good to force her to go.¡± Jiang Yunzhu saw his embarrassment and said.


    It happened that Lin Yubai hadn¡¯t been home for a few days, so he immediately decided to accompany Jiang Yunzhu for a walk.


    Jiang Yunzhu told Jiang Yunxue about it, and discussed a time to go to Luzhou.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± In the study, Shen Fengming found Jiang Yunzhu and said.


    Jiang Yunzhu just shook his head this time. If he went, the Lin family would definitely accept Jiang Yunxue. But she knew that the Lin family was the Prince¡¯s supporter, and she didn¡¯t want Shen Fengming to owe favors to the Lin family or get involved with the Lin family because of her matter.


    As for Lin Yubai, that¡¯s different.


    In fact, Shen Fengming didn¡¯t really want to see the second master of the Lin family, if they met, it would be tantamount to proving that he was in Luzhou, and then there would be constant troubles.


    ¡°Then be careful all the way,¡± he said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there is Lin Yubai.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Shen Fengming was still not at ease, he secretly asked Shadow to follow her and protect her.


    This morning, Jiang Yunzhu, Lin Yubai, Jiang Yunxue and two guards from the Lin family set off for Luzhou.


    The journey was uneventful, and at noon the next day, they arrived outside the gate of the Lin Mansion.


    ¡°My lord is back? My lord is back!¡± Seeing Lin Yubai, the gatekeeper of the Lin family rushed in to report in surprise.


    Lin Yubai directly brought Jiang Yunzhu and Jiang Yunxue into the mansion, asked them to wait in the living room, and then he went to find his father.


    Unexpectedly, Master Lin Er was not at home, he went out to visit friends.


    He didn¡¯t come back until night.


    Seeing Lin Yubai, the second master Lin couldn¡¯t do without a lesson. He was really heartbroken by this incompetent child.


    ¡°Father, take a break. You have been training for half an hour. I came back this time to recommend you a good student.¡± Lin Yubai praised Jiang Yunxue a lot.


    Master Lin Er looked at him suspiciously, why, the sun came out from the west today?


    ¡°Father, I¡¯m also helping my friend.¡± Lin Yubai said truthfully.


    Inevitably, Master Lin Er gave him another scolding.


    But in the end, Master Lin still decided to meet Jiang Yunzhu and Jiang Yunxue.


    In the living room, Master Lin saw the two of them and had a good impression of them. So he chose Jiang Yunxue in the school.


    Jiang Yunxue couldn¡¯t answer the many questions he asked, and her eyes were red with anxiety.


    Feeling that Master Lin¡¯s voice became more and more careless, Jiang Yunxue knew that she might lose this opportunity.


    She suddenly knelt down to him, held back her tears and said, she is very poor in knowledge now, but she is willing to learn, begging him to give her a chance. Give her a year, no, give her half a year, if she still can¡¯t satisfy him by then, she will leave by herself.


    ¡°You said just now that you have only learned characters for more than half a year?¡± Mr. Lin Er noticed this sentence in her words.


    ¡°Yeah, my family used to be poor, and I didn¡¯t have the money to study for my younger siblings.¡± Seeing that there might be an opportunity, Jiang Yunzhu hurried to speak for her.


    The second master Lin looked at Jiang Yunxue again, and felt that she was really a good candidate.


    She has only been studying for more than half a year, and more than half of the time is self-study. It is very rare for her to learn what she is now.


    He twirled his beard, thinking.


    No one dared to disturb him.


    After a while, he said, ¡°Let her come to the academy to study for a year. After a year, if she can¡¯t meet my requirements¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll leave by myself.¡± Jiang Yunxue straightened her back and said with burning eyes.


    Master Lin nodded.


    That¡¯s it.


    It was getting late, so Lin Yubai arranged for Jiang Yunzhu and Jiang Yunxue to stay in the mansion.


    They lived in a courtyard, not far from the courtyard where Lin Yubai lived.


    In the middle of the night, there are servants on watch in the courtyard. They seemed to vaguely hear a woman shouting, ¡°Mr. Lin, what are you going to do? Let me go. Don¡¯t¡­¡±


    Lin Yubai is the only one in the family who can be called Mr. Lin.


    The two servants on night watch went over after hearing the words, but they didn¡¯t find anything unusual.


    Early the next morning, Jiang Yunxue excitedly went to find Jiang Yunzhu, but found that there was no one in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s house. However, her clothes were still on the bedside.


    It was very strange, she immediately asked someone to ask where Jiang Yunzhu had gone.


    No one saw it.


    Jiang Yunzhu just disappeared suddenly.


    Oh, it wasn¡¯t all of a sudden, the two servants on night watch suddenly remembered what happened last night, and glanced at Lin Yubai quietly.


    The missing girl, whom they met yesterday, was really beautiful.


    If their son wanted to be rude to that girl in the middle of the night, that girl would definitely scream and struggle. And then¡­ They didn¡¯t know where to think, and they all lowered their heads.


    It¡¯s just a girl from the county, even if she really disappears, so what.


    They are servants of the Lin family, and Lin Yubai is their master, so they naturally dare not speak up.


    Lin Yubai felt like the sky was falling. He really regarded Jiang Yunzhu as a friend, but she disappeared from his house. In case something happens to her, how can he be at ease. Moreover, if Governor Shen finds out about this¡­


    ¡°Look, everyone is looking for me, I don¡¯t believe it, a big living person just disappeared like this.¡± He shouted hoarsely.


    Master Lin Er and Mrs. Lin also heard the news and came to check.


    They were also shocked when they heard the whole thing.


    It¡¯s just that they were not as anxious as Lin Yubai, thinking about all kinds of possibilities. For example, Jiang Yunzhu left by herself?


    ¡°Son, don¡¯t worry, you can¡¯t lose it, just look for it slowly.¡± Mrs. Lin felt sorry for her son and advised him.


    Lin Yubai interrogated everyone in the mansion like crazy.


    Quickly asked about the two people who were watching the night last night, the two people didn¡¯t talk about it at first, but the second master Lin found out that they looked sneaky and wanted to use torture, so the two people did.


    Last night, I heard a woman crying and saying¡­


    When everyone heard this, they didn¡¯t understand what happened last night. It must be that the son wanted to force the girl, but the girl refused. Feelings, the young master is calling for a thief here!


    ¡°Master Lin, my sister, what have you done to my sister?¡± Jiang Yunxue burst into tears.


    The second master Lin was trembling with anger, evil son, he did such a thing, let¡¯s see if he doesn¡¯t beat him to death today.


    While Mrs. Lin was helping the second master Lin, she also complained a little bit about Lin Yubai. He likes other girls, so he can just tell his family no. She also saw that girl yesterday, and she was really nice. Let¡¯s all sit down and have a good talk, whether to marry or marry, can be discussed.


    How did it end when this happened?


    ¡°What about the girl?¡± Mrs. Lin asked. At this time, Lin Yubai still hasn¡¯t handed over the man.


    ¡°I was in my room yesterday.¡± Lin Yubai said with a pale face.


    But who can testify?


    Lin Yubai just felt that he couldn¡¯t argue with anything, and there was only one thought in his mind, it was over, he was over, and the Lin family was also over!

 Chapter 86

    Suddenly, Lin Yubai ran out, he wanted to tell Shen Fengming the news and ask him to save Jiang Yunzhu quickly.


    ¡°Niezi, where are you going? Stop him quickly.¡± Master Lin Er shouted.


    Mrs. Lin was busy winking at the servants, telling them to let Lin Yubai go. Master Lin Er is obviously angry, let¡¯s wait for him to calm down before we talk about it.


    The next day, Lin Yubai was still on his way to Wuling County.


    A shadow suddenly entered Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s house.


    At this moment, Shen Fengming was sitting in the study room. Perhaps because of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s absence these two days, he always felt restless.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± He noticed someone outside and asked.


    The man hurriedly knelt down and told about Jiang Yunzhu being robbed.


    The night before yesterday, the secret guards escorted Jiang Yunzhu all the way into Lin¡¯s house, and then guarded outside.


    Qilinwei has a rule that no one is allowed to enter the residence of court officials without reason or order. This is more than 70 years ago, after a Zhao prison, all the courtiers committed Yan Zhijian together, and this rule was set by Emperor Yuanmu, and it has been used until now.


    Otherwise, Qilin Wei could enter any place without anyone noticing, and those officials probably wouldn¡¯t dare to sleep at night.


    This also gave those people an opportunity.


    ¡°This subordinate is incompetent.¡± Shadow knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Shen Fengming¡¯s face.


    But he could still feel that at this moment, Shen Fengming¡¯s whole body was full of anger, like a murderous knife out of its sheath, which made people tremble with fear.


    ¡°Have you searched all of Lin¡¯s residence?¡± Shen Fengming asked. He himself didn¡¯t realize how cold his voice was at the moment.


    The shadow trembled, this kind of thing happened, they had a reason to enter the Lin mansion, but they searched all over the mansion, but they couldn¡¯t find Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Ms. Jiang should be taken out of the Lin residence.¡± He replied.


    ¡°Is there a clue?¡± Shen Fengming asked again.


    ¡°The other party seems to be very aware of our rules, and he didn¡¯t leave the house at night. He probably brought Miss Jiang out in the morning before everyone noticed.


    Someone has been sent to check, but they haven¡¯t found it yet. ¡°


    Hearing what he said, Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes were filled with coldness. Could it be that the man came after him?


    That Jiang Yunzhu¡­ Thinking of her current situation, he felt a little unsteady.


    With a big stride, he walked out.


    Besides, Jiang Yunzhu was drowsy, and seemed to hear the sound of weapons clashing and fighting. She opened her eyes with difficulty, only to see that she seemed to be lying in a carriage.


    How could this be, she remembered that she should be on the bed in Lin¡¯s other courtyard.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, are you alright?¡± Lin Ting¡¯an came in from the outside with a long sword in his hand, and asked urgently when the curtain of the carriage was lifted.


    Why is he here? Dazed and dizzy, Jiang Yunzhu stared at Lin Ting¡¯an with difficulty.


    Then her head sank and she passed out again.


    In a low wooden room, Jiang Yunzhu was lying on the only broken bed, her hair was covered with black hair, her skin was snowy, and her chest line undulated slightly with her breathing¡­ She was out of place in this dilapidated room, but she seemed to be able to hook her. Aroused the most primitive desire in the bottom of my heart, wanting to imprison her and possess her.


    Standing by the bed, Lin Ting¡¯an brushed away the broken hair on her face little by little, revealing her pretty face.


    A few strands of long hair snaked along her skin and into her clothes.


    Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s hand went down and stopped at her neckline.


    The coat she is wearing now belongs to him, and there is only a soft white tube top dress inside. The skirt sticks to her body, outlining a fascinating arc.


    His hands continued to sink.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu opened her eyes, she saw the scene in front of her clearly, immediately sat up, stepped back, and did not stop until her back was pressed against the wall, and looked at Lin Ting¡¯an vigilantly.


    Lin Ting¡¯an withdrew his hand, ¡°Miss Jiang, don¡¯t look at me like that, I don¡¯t intend to hurt you.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked, and then, she found that she was wearing his coat.


    She wanted to take it off, but there was nothing in the room, so she could only endure it temporarily.


    Lin Ting¡¯an talked about what happened in the past two days.


    That day when he was doing business outside, he found a group of people moving surreptitiously. The wind blew up the corner of the curtain of the carriage, and he happened to see Jiang Yunzhu lying inside, so he followed the group.


    That group of people seemed to have a grudge against someone, as they walked, they discussed how to insult Jiang Yunzhu later, and how to make her corpse look terrible, so that the enemy would be overwhelmed with pain.


    As they talked, they became so lustful that they wanted to cheat on Jiang Yunzhu on the road.


    Lin Ting¡¯an unexpectedly killed two of them and rescued Jiang Yunzhu.


    But those people were chasing after them, besieging and killing them everywhere.


    There was no other way, he could only take her to escape into the deep mountains and take shelter in this dilapidated hut.


    ¡°Miss Jiang or someone from Miss Jiang, have you offended anyone, so that those people will treat you in such a vicious way.¡± Finally, Lin Ting¡¯an asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu suddenly thought of Shen Fengming. As the owner of a small restaurant, she can offend anyone, but Shen Fengming is different. People who want to kill him probably line up around the capital a few times.


    So, it was Lin Ting¡¯an who saved her?


    ¡°Thank you Mr. Lin.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome, Miss Jiang. You¡¯ve been in a coma for so long, but are you hungry? I¡¯ll get you something to eat.¡± Lin Tingan went out after speaking.


    It was quiet outside, Jiang Yunzhu got up, came to the door, and looked out.


    There are continuous mountains in the distance. Nearby, this place seems to be a valley. There is a small river flowing in front of the valley, and the trees next to it are lush. And she is in a dilapidated wooden house. The house should have been unoccupied for a long time. , full of dust and cobwebs.


    Jiang Yunzhu hesitated, whether to run away.


    She didn¡¯t trust Lin Ting¡¯an, or she didn¡¯t trust him completely. He just asked if she or anyone in her had enemies. He knew Shen Fengming clearly, didn¡¯t he know that those people must have come for him? There is no need to ask her.


    Just flee, where should I flee? She doesn¡¯t know the way at all, if she runs into those people who are chasing and killing her¡­


    Jiang Yunzhu stood at the door for a long time, then turned and went back to the house, at least she had to prepare before she could escape.


    About a quarter of an hour later, Lin Ting¡¯an came back from the outside with two hares in his hands.


    After cleaning up the rabbits by the creek, he set up a bonfire and put the hares on it to roast.


    After a while, the rabbit was roasted. He entered the house and handed the rabbit to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Miss Jiang, it¡¯s in the wilderness, let¡¯s eat it.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu was really hungry. She took the rabbit and said softly, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    ¡°I told you, Miss Jiang, you don¡¯t have to be so polite with me,¡± Lin Tingan said.


    Jiang Yunzhu stopped talking, sat on the bed, and ate the rabbit meat with her hands.


    Lin Ting¡¯an also took a roasted rabbit and was eating it. While eating, he said, ¡°Miss Jiang, I don¡¯t seem to have offended you, why do you always speak nonsense to me?¡± This was indeed Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s heart A doubt, he had always wanted to ask Jiang Yunzhu, and now he finally had the chance.


    Jiang Yunzhu stopped tearing the rabbit meat, ¡°I just think that Mr. Lin has a noble and dignified style, and he must come from a famous family, and I am not the same as me.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s voice was low, ¡°What does Miss Jiang think, what about Mr. Shen?¡±


    She is not in the same way as him, but is she in the same way as him?


    Jiang Yunzhu is silent, and he is not alone.


    However, her silence, in Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s eyes, seemed to be a guilty conscience after being questioned by the center.


    Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s eyes were cold and silent, what Shen Fengming could give her, he could also give her.


    After eating, Lin Ting¡¯an boiled hot water for Jiang Yunzhu to drink, and then he started cleaning the room, as if he wanted to stay here for a long time.


    ¡°Mr. Lin, where is this place? How far is it from Wuling County?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°This is the south of Luzhou, very far away from Wuling County.¡± Lin Tingan said.


    ¡°Are there any counties nearby?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked again.


    ¡°Those thieves are very fierce and cunning. I saw two villages and towns from a distance along the way, but there were already thieves guarding there, and I dared not approach them. Later, I simply avoided those villages and towns, and finally arrived here safely.


    So I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on nearby. ¡°Lin Ting¡¯an said.


    ¡°Then what do we do next?¡±


    ¡°I left a mark along the way, just wait for someone to come and save us.¡±


    How long will it take? Jiang Yunzhu wanted to ask, but felt that Lin Ting¡¯an didn¡¯t want to talk about these things anymore, so she swallowed the words in her mouth. I¡¯m afraid that even if she asked, Lin Ting¡¯an would not be able to answer her.


    In the evening, Lin Ting¡¯an was going out to look for food again, Jiang Yunzhu said to go with him.


    She wanted to see what was going on around her.


    Lin Tingan did not refuse.


    The two left the wooden house one after the other and walked deep into the forest. While walking, Jiang Yunzhu kept an eye on his surroundings.


    I don¡¯t know how long I walked forward, Jiang Yunzhu only felt that there were dense forests all around, and he couldn¡¯t see the way ahead.


    At this time, Lin Ting¡¯an suddenly stopped her, made a gesture of silence with his fingers, and then pointed forward.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a colorful tiger patrolling there.


    The tiger was two meters long, with sharp and white teeth, and fierce eyes, which made people daunting.


    Jiang Yunzhu held his breath directly, for fear of disturbing the tiger.


    Lin Ting¡¯an pulled her and slowly backed away.


    Jiang Yunzhu still had lingering fears when she went far away, but she also quietly noted down the location of the tiger.


    Walking in the opposite direction this time, the two were lucky, and soon encountered a pheasant and a dozen eggs.


    Back at the wooden house, Jiang Yunzhu looked around and found some crude kitchen utensils, but no one had used them for a long time.


    She didn¡¯t want to bother Lin Ting¡¯an to cook anymore, so she packed up the kitchen utensils.


    After a while, Lin Ting¡¯an took care of the pheasant.


    ¡°Let me do it.¡± Jiang Yunzhu reached out to pick up the pheasant.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an agreed.


    Jiang Yunzhu is a good cook, and the meal was ready in a short while.


    What she cooks is naturally better than Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s.


    The night fell, and the surroundings were silent, as if there were only the two of them in the world.


    There is an oil lamp in the wooden house. At this time, the oil lamp exudes a warm yellow light, shining on Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s face, making her look more soft and charming.


    After eating, the two want to rest, but there is only one bed in this wooden house, how can they sleep?


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at Lin Ting¡¯an, and saw him sitting on the edge of the bed, his face half bright and dark.

 Chapter 87

    Jiang Yunzhu knew that Lin Ting¡¯an was a very proud person, too proud to allow others to refuse.


    ¡°Mr. Lin, do you want to chat?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked him standing there.


    Lin Ting¡¯an looked at her, ¡°What does Miss Jiang want to talk about?¡±


    ¡°Nine out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory.¡± Jiang Yunzhu felt that maybe she had avoided him repeatedly before, which instead aroused his competitive spirit.


    Lin Ting¡¯an immediately understood what she meant. To be honest, he wanted her, and he really wanted to compete with Shen Fengming.


    However, he did like her.


    Thinking of this, he stood up, the days are still long, and he will slowly make her like him.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, rest early, I¡¯ll guard the door for you.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an said, walked to the door, and looked at the bright moon in the sky.


    The bright moon is bright and clear, and the breeze is blowing slowly. The scenery in the mountains is also moving.


    Jiang Yunzhu knew that with his pride, since he said so, he would not touch her.


    Tired indeed, she went to bed and fell asleep.


    The sound of breathing in the room gradually became steady. Lin Ting¡¯an looked back at the person on the bed, walked slowly into the room, and looked carefully at Jiang Yunzhu.


    At the moment she was lying there, defenseless.


    She really trusts him so much? Lin Ting¡¯an stopped for a long time, then went out again.


    The next morning, Jiang Yunzhu was lying on the bed, feeling anxious.


    I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on outside. She disappeared in the Lin Mansion, Shen Fengming should look for her, right?


    If you go to¡­


    She already understood the plan of arresting her man and blaming the Lin family for her disappearance. If Shen Fengming really confronted the Lin family at that time, it would be equivalent to him standing on the opposite side of the prince, then¡­


    Jiang Yunzhu actually knew that Shen Fengming would not fall into this kind of trap easily, but she was still worried. There are also Lin Yubai, Jiang Yunxue and others. She disappeared, and they don¡¯t know how anxious they are.


    ¡°Girl Jiang, are you awake? Do you want to eat some wild fruit?¡± Lin Ting¡¯an stood at the door holding a big leaf. On the emerald green leaf, there were four or five bright red wild fruits, exuding a faint fruit fragrance.


    Jiang Yunzhu got up, went to the river outside to wash, and then she stared at the river for a while, then returned to the wooden house.


    While eating the fruit, she worriedly said to Lin Ting¡¯an, ¡°I seemed to hear something barking just now. Could it be the tiger I saw yesterday? Mr. Lin, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s safe here, or let¡¯s go to another place. ¡°


    Lin Ting¡¯an thought for a while, ¡°Those thieves are much more vicious than tigers. Don¡¯t worry, Miss Jiang, with me here, the tiger can¡¯t hurt you.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know when the rescuer will come.¡± Jiang Yunzhu sighed quietly.


    Lin Ting¡¯an took a bite of the fruit, ¡°Miss Jiang, don¡¯t worry, it should be soon.¡±


    At this time, there was a feeling of rain coming outside. The entire Luzhou, whether it was officials or ordinary people, felt inexplicably tense and depressed recently, as if something big was about to happen.


    In the ruined temple in the west of Luzhou City, Qilinwei finally found Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s trace, but¡­


    Everyone was silent.


    Shen Fengming walked in from the outside with the Kunwu knife on his waist.


    ¡°Captain, this is¡­¡± The man fell to his knees at the end of his speech.


    There was a female corpse on the ground of the ruined temple. The corpse had been hacked and burned, and its appearance could not be seen clearly. But her height and build are the same as Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s.


    Moreover, she still wears the two little hairpins she usually wears on her head.


    Shen Fengming picked up the two little hairpins, and the surroundings were deadly silent.


    That evening, Lin Ting¡¯an still went out to hunt. When he came back, he saw that the wooden house was in a mess, with bright red blood on the ground, and a few pieces of clothes that seemed to be torn apart by wild animals.


    The clothes belonged to Jiang Yunzhu, including his coat and her long skirt.


    Thinking of Jiang Yunzhu saying that he heard the roar of the tiger in the morning, it seemed easy to draw the conclusion that the tiger broke into the house while he was out, and attacked Jiang Yunzhu.


    Is it just true? Lin Ting¡¯an raised the corners of his lips, that tiger was dealt with last night, could it be possible to cheat its corpse?


    ¡°Girl Jiang, Miss Jiang?¡± He looked around anxiously.


    It¡¯s just that he searched a lot, but couldn¡¯t find Jiang Yunzhu.


    He turned cold, and suddenly looked at the river not far away.


    Running over there, he saw traces of dragging a log on the bank. It seemed that Jiang Yunzhu must have drifted down the river with the log in his arms.


    He raised his eyebrows, took out a piccolo from his sleeve and blew twice.


    Soon, a group of people ran over from the woods and knelt down, ¡°Young master!¡±


    ¡°Look down the river, we must find her.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s face was as cold as ice and snow.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Those people immediately went downstream along the river.


    Someone brought a horse to Lin Ting¡¯an, he got on the horse, beat the horse and went downstream.


    All around became empty.


    About two quarters of an hour later, Lin Ting¡¯an came back on his horse, walked around, found nothing unusual, and rode away again.


    Another half an hour later, a person floated down from the upper reaches of the river. That person was holding a piece of wood in his hand, whether it was Jiang Yunzhu or someone else.


    She knew Lin Ting¡¯an too well, so whether it was blood or traces, she made them on purpose. In fact, she went up the river. But she didn¡¯t dare to go too far, she was afraid that they were being hunted down as Lin Ting¡¯an said, and if she ran into those thieves, wouldn¡¯t it be a disaster.


    She was two or three miles upstream of the river, and when she came down now, she saw many messy footprints by the river, as well as the obvious horseshoe prints.


    Lin Ting¡¯an is lying, at least, he has the ability to take her out of here, but he won¡¯t let her go.


    so what to do now? Jiang Yunzhu hugged the log and continued to go down the river. She knew that Lin Ting¡¯an would soon find out that she didn¡¯t go down the river at all, and then returned to look for her.


    All she had to do was to go down the river, find an easy hiding place, and make a time difference with him.


    At that time, he will be in a hurry to return, and he will definitely not search carefully halfway.


    Moreover, she was also afraid of the beasts in the mountains, so she could avoid encountering wild beasts by following them.


    The river is actually four or five meters wide, the deep part is about two or three meters, and the shallow part is more than one meter. Jiang Yunzhu hugged the wood, sometimes he could walk a few steps in the river, and sometimes he drifted down the river. Just drift far away.


    At a turning, she suddenly saw a place overgrown with water and grass. There was a big tree growing crookedly.


    She immediately dragged the wood in her hand to the shore, hid behind the big tree, adjusted her posture, covered her body with some water plants, and leaned there to rest for a while.


    Her whole body was wet, sticky and uncomfortable, but she couldn¡¯t care less about it now.


    After about half an hour, there were indeed voices over there, and the sound of horseshoes came.


    It was Lin Ting¡¯an who found out that he had been cheated, so he brought someone back to find her, Jiang Yunzhu thought so, holding his breath, and remained motionless.


    If she was in another place, she was actually hiding behind a tree. No matter how careful she was, Lin Ting¡¯an and the others would still be able to find her. But this was by the river, and the river was splashing, Lin Ting¡¯an and others hurried back to look for someone, but no one found someone behind the tree.


    When those people were far away, Jiang Yunzhu hugged the log, returned to the river, and continued down.


    This time she drifted far away, and she didn¡¯t go ashore until she saw the trees on the bank getting shorter and shorter. As for the piece of wood she was holding, she let it continue down, so that if Lin Ting¡¯an found it again, she would follow it and move forward.


    After floating in the river for so long, she felt cold all over as soon as she landed.


    Looking around, it is still a mountainous area, surrounded by some small and sparse bushes, there should be no large beasts.


    The first thing to do is to light a bonfire to keep warm.


    Behind a mountain wall, she picked up a lot of branches, and then took out the flint hidden on her body. After drying for a while, a warm yellow bonfire burned.


    Jiang Yunzhu put her hand by the fire, feeling very warm.


    But she didn¡¯t dare to burn for too long, and after drying the clothes on her body, she extinguished the fire and wondered what to do next.


    At this moment, a group of people came from the lower reaches of the river. The leader was a strong man. He said as he walked, ¡°Quickly tell Mr. Lin to take someone away. That person is chasing him.¡±


    At the mention of that person, everyone present trembled.


    ¡°Afraid of a ball, he is also human and can bleed, haven¡¯t you seen it?¡± the strong man shouted.


    Everyone was still shivering, they didn¡¯t dare to watch, they just ran for their lives.


    The strong man asked the person next to him, ¡°I can¡¯t run away anymore, did you bring that thing?¡±


    ¡°Bring it.¡± The man replied.


    ¡°Find a place to bury him well, we will bring him there later, and he will be decapitated.¡± The strong man spat on the ground and said.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Everyone agreed.


    Those who sent the letter sent the letter, ambushed the ambush, and acted immediately.


    Jiang Yunzhu happened to be on the hillside where they were upwind, occupying a high position and looking down, he had a clear view of the situation below.


    They seem to have mentioned Mr. Lin, Lin Ting¡¯an just now? Then who came after them?


    Thinking of that person, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart ached.


    They seemed to be going against Shen Fengming, she hid behind the mountain wall and looked down anxiously.


    About half an hour later, more than a dozen fast horses galloped from a distance like sharp arrows. The leader was dressed in black, whether it was Shen Fengming or someone else.


    Jiang Yunzhu nervously clenched a rock in front of him, trying to open his mouth to warn.


    At this time, Shen Fengming reined in the horse and stopped.


    He looked around.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t dare to speak out easily, for fear that the people below would find her and come towards her, she couldn¡¯t stand it.


    But she can¡¯t just watch Shen Fengming being ambushed.


    So she carefully walked out from behind the mountain wall, waved her hand and pointed to the side, signaling to Shen Fengming that there was danger there.


    Just in time, Shen Fengming looked in her direction.


    The two were far apart, and Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know if he saw her or not, so he kept waving.


    At this time Shen Fengming moved, he urged the horse to come this way.


    As soon as he moved, those ambushing people moved one after another and shot short arrows at him.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart was pounding, and she didn¡¯t know if Shen Fengming understood what she meant.


    Arrows flew wildly below, and one even flew towards her, so Jiang Yunzhu quickly hid behind the mountain wall.


    After a while, there was a bang outside, and the ground seemed to tremble twice.


    Jiang Yunzhu was so shaken that she lay on the mountain wall and hurriedly looked out. There were severed limbs all over the ground, while Shen Fengming and Qilinwei¡¯s men were riding towards her with blood on their horses.


    It was safe, she breathed a sigh of relief.


    At this moment, another group of people came over there, led by Lin Ting¡¯an.


    He saw Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Fengming, and said, ¡°Miss Jiang, it¡¯s dangerous over there, come to me quickly.¡±


    If Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know Shen Fengming¡¯s identity, and Shen Fengming was covered in blood, it seemed that Lin Tingan¡¯s side was safer.


    Shen Fengming stopped when he heard the words, looked at Jiang Yunzhu and said, ¡°Miss Jiang, my surname is Shen, and my name is Fengming.¡± When he saw the female corpse yesterday, although Shen Fengming recognized at a glance that the person was not Jiang Yunzhu, but he still had the feeling in his heart. It¡¯s like overwhelming the river and the sea.


    He didn¡¯t even dare to think about what he would do if the corpse was her.


    He didn¡¯t want to hide his name anymore, he wanted to take her under his wing and prevent her from being hurt any more.


    Jiang Yunzhu froze there.

 Chapter 88

    Shen Fengming, his name, Xia Chao, is well known to more than half of the people. It is rumored that he is domineering, ruthless, Qilin Guard¡¯s hundreds of years of prestige, it seems that he has taken it to a higher level, which makes people¡¯s expressions change.


    When the people behind Lin Ting¡¯an suddenly heard this name, they were all panicked. Seeing him stepping on the pool of blood with those Qilin guards, they all fell to their knees.


    Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s pupils shrank slightly, and Shen Fengming actually revealed his identity¡­ Then he couldn¡¯t continue to pretend not to know.


    So he also lifted his robe and knelt down, ¡°Lin Ting¡¯an, the eldest son of the Marquis of Anping, has met Governor Shen.¡±


    Now everyone has identified themselves.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t look at him, but looked at Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu was suddenly stunned, should she also kneel down?


    Her body was limp, but instead of kneeling down, she passed out. After soaking in cold water for so long before, she already had signs of a fever, but she was so tense that she didn¡¯t notice it.


    Now she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly her mood was agitated. When her eyes went dark, she slumped to the ground.


    Lin Ting¡¯an was a little closer to Jiang Yunzhu. Seeing this, he immediately reached out to help him.


    But one person jumped off the horse and hugged Jiang Yunzhu early.


    Shen Fengming touched Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s forehead with his hand, it was very hot, he immediately carried her on the horse and rode away.


    Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s hand stopped in the air, and then slowly tightened. He stood up and looked over there with dark eyes.


    In a daze, Jiang Yunzhu felt uncomfortably hot all over, and a thick quilt was covering her body, so she immediately went to lift the quilt.


    ¡°Girl, it¡¯s good to sweat all over!¡± A voice said, and then put the quilt back on her.


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to open his mouth to argue, but his throat was so hoarse and uncomfortable that he couldn¡¯t speak.


    When she was suffering, she was hugged by a person. The warmth and coolness of that person was like a piece of warm jade, which was very beneficial. She immediately hugged the man tightly and pressed her body tightly against his body.


    Sixteen lowered his head, and looked at the person sitting by the bed from the corner of his eye from time to time. It was hard to imagine that this disfigured man with the woman in his arms was their frosty and snowy Dudu Shen.


    But this girl is really pretty, her face is like a lotus, her skin is full of frost and snow, and because of the fever, there is a little bit of blush, even if she is a woman, you can¡¯t take your eyes off it.


    ¡°Is the medicine ready?¡± Shen Fengming¡¯s voice was a little hoarse.


    Jiang Yunzhu was only wearing a soft white shirt now, and it made him feel very uncomfortable if he was tightly restrained like this.


    Shiliu hurried out to check, and took back a bowl of medicine in a short while.


    The medicine was soaked in cold water for a while, and it was neither cold nor hot at this time.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, I¡¯ve taken the medicine.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t seem to respond.


    ¡°Bring a cold handkerchief.¡± Shen Fengming ordered.


    Sixteen immediately took a piece of handkerchief, wet it in cold water, then wrung it dry and respectfully presented it to Shen Fengming.


    Shen Fengming put the handkerchief on Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s forehead.


    Jiang Yunzhu was shocked by the cold air, and only then opened her eyes, and found that her arms were wrapped around Shen Fengming¡¯s neck, and her whole body was almost hanging on him.


    Her hands softened and she let go of her arms, but she didn¡¯t land on the ground, but was embraced by Shen Fengming.


    She stared at him blankly.


    Shen Fengming took the medicine bowl, ¡°Drink the medicine.¡±


    The medicine was not bitter at all, and even had a little fragrance. Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s throat was hurting, so he drank it immediately.


    After drinking a bowl, he still felt unsatisfied, and looked at Shen Fengming longingly.


    ¡°This is Qilinwei¡¯s secret medicine Jade Flower Dew, you can¡¯t drink too much at one time.¡± Shen Fengming¡¯s voice became softer unconsciously.


    Perhaps knowing that there was nothing to drink, Jiang Yunzhu closed her eyes and fell asleep again.


    There was still a little medicinal juice left around her mouth, Shen Fengming wiped it off with a veil, and then held her for a long time, until her body was not so hot, then put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt.


    But he didn¡¯t leave, but sat on the side and watched her, lest she have any problems.


    It was very late, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s breathing became even, and Shen Fengming went back to his room to sleep.


    The next morning, Jiang Yunzhu opened her eyes, and the memories of yesterday slowly returned. Shen Fengming revealed his identity, and she was still hanging on him like a koala¡­


    At this time, there were footsteps outside, and Jiang Yunzhu vaguely saw the side face of the man through the window, and closed his eyes again.


    Shen Fengming walked in with the meal, and saw the eyelashes of the person on the bed trembling slightly, obviously awake but unwilling to open their eyes.


    He thought of the last time she pretended not to remember what had happened, put the tray aside, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked down at the man.


    On the snow-white feather pillow, the pink and crisp face was slightly sunken in it, making the eyebrows and eyes soft and beautiful, and the red lips like cherry blossoms.


    He stretched out his hand and pressed his thumb against her lips. With a little force, his thumb sank into the two pieces of softness.


    Then he retracted his thumb and bowed his head.


    Jiang Yunzhu was already disturbed by his thumb, and felt a shadow pressing over her, she immediately covered her face with a quilt.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t get to kiss anyone, so he sat up straight and said seriously, ¡°Miss Jiang, when I get back, I¡¯ll send someone to your house to propose a marriage.¡± In this way, he can legitimately protect her.


    Jiang Yunzhu lifted the quilt, and met Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes, those eyes were dark, it didn¡¯t seem like he was joking.


    She finally felt that she couldn¡¯t go on like this any longer. What she thought before was that he would return to Beijing sooner or later, and that would be the time for them to part, so sometimes she was actually pampering herself, just like the carnival before parting.


    But now things seem to be going out of control.


    She didn¡¯t want to marry into a high family at all. In her dream, she married Lin Ting¡¯an, but she was half-hearted, but the facts proved that she was wrong, very wrong. In fact, later on, she already wanted to reconcile and leave. Those days were too far away from her ideal.


    But Lin Ting¡¯an disagreed, she couldn¡¯t do it even if she wanted to.


    This era is too unfair to women.


    This time, will she go the same way?


    Yes, Shen Fengming treats her very well now, but marriage is not about two people. He often went out to handle cases, and then left her alone in Shen¡¯s residence, looking forward to his return every day, and then deal with those messy relationships?


    Feeling hopeless just thinking about it.


    ¡°Master Shen¡­¡± she said in a deep voice.


    ¡°You can call me Fengming.¡± Shen Fengming frowned, he didn¡¯t like her calling him that.


    Jiang Yunzhu avoided his sight.


    Shen Fengming looked at her and said nothing, he wanted to see what she wanted to say.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that being looked at by him like this was very oppressive and made her breathless. She sat up, calmed down and said, ¡°I guessed Mr. Shen¡¯s identity earlier, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be¡­


    Thanks to Mr. Shen¡¯s great love, it¡¯s just that I come from a humble background and dare not climb high. ¡°


    ¡°Finished?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu nodded.


    ¡°I brought you breakfast.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    His topic jumped too much, Jiang Yunzhu was a little confused, but she soon realized that Shen Fengming didn¡¯t understand what she meant.


    ¡°Master Shen, I¡¯m not joking. My lord¡¯s injury has healed a long time ago. From today onwards, we will each¡­¡± Jiang Yunzhu paused, and separated from each other, let¡¯s make a difference!


    Shen Fengming stared intently at Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Is it because of my identity? I can¡¯t change this, and I can¡¯t give up my current identity either. But I can try my best to give you what you want.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu stopped talking.


    ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t go to your house to propose marriage yet. But your distress this time may be related to me. I can¡¯t leave you alone.¡± Shen Fengming said. She leaves him now, and is likely to be eaten alive by those who hate him.


    Jiang Yunzhu also thought of this problem, in fact, not only her, but also Chen Shi, Jiang Cheng and others, they may also be in danger.


    Seeing her looking down in thought, Shen Fengming guessed that she might be worried about her family, so he said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will send someone to protect them.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu looked up, protection? How to protect them, get them into a big house, and guard them day and night? What¡¯s the difference between that and jail. Maybe Shen Fengming has a better way, but no matter what, for Jiang Cheng and the others, it will be like a disaster.


    In fact, the best protection is for them to leave. Shen Fengming, including her. Only when they are gone, can Jiang Cheng and the others continue to live their lives.


    Leaving, Jiang Yunzhu had thought about it before. Just where to go, Luzhou or the capital, or other places?


    First rule out Luzhou, Lin Ting¡¯an is in Luzhou, she doesn¡¯t want to see him anymore.


    She has always wanted to go to the capital.


    In other places, she couldn¡¯t remember where to go for a while.


    ¡°Master Shen, if I go to the capital¡­¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Are you going to the capital?¡± Shen Fengming raised his eyebrows slightly, his long eyelashes like a small fan rolled, as if he was very happy.


    Jiang Yunzhu was inexplicably regretful, perhaps, she shouldn¡¯t have gone to the capital.


    ¡°I will help you take care of your parents.¡± Shen Fengming said immediately without giving her a chance to regret it. This incident happened because of him, and he would protect Jiang Cheng and the others regardless of reason.


    Jiang Yunzhu is not the kind of person who hesitates, since he wants to go to the capital, so what if he goes to the capital to have a look. In her dream, she wanted to do this. In the place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and heroes gather in the capital, she can make friends through cooking, and she can also see all kinds of superb cooking skills. I feel happy when I think about it.


    No, she went to find Mr. Wu, it would be nice to travel around the world with him. Anyway, she now has Qishanju and tea is not cool, and she has a stable business.


    ¡°Thank you Master Shen.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, she said about protecting her parents.


    ¡°You insist on calling me Lord Shen?¡± Shen Fengming raised his eyebrows.


    If it¡¯s not Master Shen, what¡¯s your name, Feng Ming? Calling it that way is too intimate.


    Shen Fengming also didn¡¯t want to force her, it was already very good that she could enter Beijing.


    ¡°When you are in better health, shall we set off?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu shook her head quickly, she didn¡¯t want to be with him. That way, it is estimated that she will be the target of public criticism as soon as she arrives in the capital. She meant that she disappeared in Wuling County, and then went to the capital with another identity to start a new life.


    Shen Fengming understood, ¡°I can arrange it for you, and I guarantee that no one will look for you again. However, you have to go on the road with me, otherwise I don¡¯t feel at ease.


    Don¡¯t worry, when you arrive in Beijing, you can do what you want. ¡°


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s bright eyes flickered, ¡°Thank you, Mr. Shen.¡± This time, she thanked her sincerely.


    Shen Fengming suddenly kissed her lips.


    ¡°Woo¡­¡± Jiang Yunzhu pushed him hastily, what he did was not what he said just now.

 Chapter 89

    Shen Fengming just charged a little interest. She hugged him last night, she was comfortable, but what about him?


    Jiang Yunzhu was in a hurry. Since she had already decided not to marry him, it was better to make some things clear.


    She wanted to push him away, but couldn¡¯t, and he seemed to want to deepen the kiss.


    Confused, she opened her mouth and bit down.


    Shen Fengming backed away, large drops of blood condensed on the red lips, the blood beads rolled down and flowed over his jaw.


    Outside the door, Shiliu was about to come in with a bowl of medicine. Seeing this scene, he immediately retracted his body in fright, God, Dudu Shen was bitten and bled! If this is seen by outsiders¡­ Sixteen felt that his future was in jeopardy.


    Jiang Yunzhu was also in a daze when he noticed the smell of blood in his mouth, and then quickly took out the handkerchief, trying to wipe the blood on him.


    It was only later that she held back, lowered her head and said, ¡°It was my fault before, maybe Master Shen misunderstood something, but in the future, it¡¯s still¡­¡± She didn¡¯t continue, but she knew that Shen Fengming should understand.


    Also, ¡°I went to the capital, but I have long wanted to go to the capital.¡±


    Shen Fengming wiped the blood on his lips with his hand, it was bright red, his face was extremely stern, ¡°Does Miss Jiang have another sweetheart?¡± For example, that Lin Ting¡¯an.


    He knew countless people, and from the first time Jiang Yunzhu met Lin Ting¡¯an, he felt that she treated him differently. Later, she deliberately avoided him and explained something. And this time, she spent so long with him¡­


    Thinking of this, even his usual calm heart was a little tumbling.


    He knew that he shouldn¡¯t think like this, but he just couldn¡¯t control it. Ever since he met Jiang Yunzhu, all his emotions that had been sealed up in the cold seemed to slowly come back, and they were attracted by her one by one.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked up in astonishment, what does he mean?


    Her reaction was not fake, she didn¡¯t like anyone else, Shen Fengming calmed down, he didn¡¯t want to talk about it anymore, he brought the tray over, ¡°Miss Jiang is hungry, have some breakfast.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at him twice, wondering if he understood what she meant.


    ¡°Master Shen, can you go out first?¡± Jiang Yunzhu said shyly. She hadn¡¯t gotten up and changed her clothes yet, and she had talked to him like this for a long time just now.


    Shen Fengming stood up and went out the door.


    Jiang Yunzhu got up quickly and was about to get dressed, but found that she had no clothes. Her clothes before are probably still in the Lin residence.


    At this time, a girl came in outside. The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with double rings on her hair, wearing a light green dress, and a pair of round eyes that looked smart and cute.


    She held a tray in her hand, which contained all clothes, shoes, even hairpins, earrings and other accessories, ¡°Girl, I serve you.¡± Sixteen said.


    ¡°You are?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked while looking at the tray in her hand. A pair of snow satin soft shoes, the clothes are pink and white brocade dresses, and various jewelry.


    ¡°The servant¡¯s name is Sixteen.¡± Sixteen said, helping Jiang Yunzhu change her clothes and comb her hair.


    ¡°Here?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked again.


    ¡°This is the cross courtyard of an inn in Sangfu County.¡± After Shen Fengming took Jiang Yunzhu away yesterday, he found a nearby inn to help her treat her illness.


    Jiang Yunzhu understood, and soon, she had finished washing, changed her clothes and began to comb her hair.


    At this time, Shiliu wanted to put those jewelry on Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s body, but she refused. These jewelry are worth a lot of money at first glance, so forget it.


    Shiliu had an idea in an instant, and saw her fingers flying back and forth like butterflies, and after a while, she helped Jiang Yunzhu comb her hair.


    ¡°Girl, what do you think?¡± Sixteen asked after helping Jiang Yunzhu fix the last strand of hair. This black hair was actually smoother than the finest brocade, she was a bit reluctant to let it go.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked in the mirror and felt that the little girl¡¯s hands were so skillful that she didn¡¯t use any hairpin rings, so she helped her comb a very beautiful hairstyle.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± She said, she likes this hairstyle very much.


    Sixteen hurriedly waved his hands, and then quietly looked into the mirror, only to feel that the person in the mirror couldn¡¯t move his eyes away.


    At this time, Shen Fengming came in with a medicine bowl, and saw Jiang Yunzhu after dressing up. She usually has to do a lot of things, so the clothes she wears are mostly dark colors, and she only wears that thin persimmon-colored dress a few times.


    Today she is wearing this white dress with powder, her skin is as delicate as fat, like the morning glow reflecting the snow, she doesn¡¯t have any accessories on her body, but she looks even more glamorous.


    The wound on the lip no longer hurts, and it feels a little numb.


    Shen Fengming pursed his lips, as if something was spreading in his heart.


    Jiang Yunzhu turned her head and met Shen Fengming¡¯s gaze, her heart skipped a beat, she always felt that there seemed to be something else in his eyes today under the icy coldness.


    ¡°Drink the medicine.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu regained consciousness, looked at him again, and felt that he was still so cold.


    It may be my own illusion.


    Jiang Yunzhu took the medicine bowl and felt it was sweet and fragrant, so she quickly drank it clean.


    Shen Fengming sat there, ¡°Sixteen.¡±


    Sixteen quickly knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to him.


    ¡°Let her follow you from now on.¡± Shen Fengming said to Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°She can protect you.¡± Shen Fengming said. Sixteenth is actually the sixteenth place in the shadows, and the shadows are ranked by ability. One girl in sixteen can get this ranking, which is enough to prove her ability.


    ¡°But¡­¡± Jiang Yunzhu wanted to say something else.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you let He Hong follow me too, I¡¯ll pay you back now, that¡¯s only fair.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu was speechless.


    ¡°Sixteen has met the master.¡± Sixteen respectfully kowtowed to Jiang Yunzhu. She was adopted by Qilinwei¡¯s master since she was a child, and everything belonged to Qilinwei, Dudu Shen. If he asked her to protect Jiang Yunzhu, she would definitely protect her with her life.


    ¡°Get up, you don¡¯t need to be so polite,¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Sixteen stood up and stood behind Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°The one who arrested you that day, I have already found out, they are members of the Ghost King Sect. I wiped out the members of their organization before, but I didn¡¯t expect there to be any left.¡± Shen Fengming talked about the business.


    Isn¡¯t it Lin Ting¡¯an? Jiang Yunzhu thought, then, he really saved her? No, she seems to have heard those who ambushed Shen Fengming say that Mr. Lin is coming.


    She told Shen Fengming what she heard.


    ¡°I doubt him too, and also, King Huainan.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    King of Huainan? Jiang Yunzhu really knew, but why did this matter have something to do with him again.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t want to talk to her about these things, these things had nothing to do with her, from now on, she just had to do what she wanted to do.


    ¡°By the way, Lin Yubai.¡± Jiang Yunzhu was always worried about him.


    ¡°He¡¯s fine.¡± Shen Fengming said, he didn¡¯t make things difficult for Lin Fu.


    Jiang Yunzhu was relieved, and the two discussed going back to Wuling County and going to Beijing next.


    After discussing, set off immediately.


    The next day, the two returned to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s house.


    ¡°Miss Jiang!¡± Lin Yubai was squatting in front of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s house with a dejected face, and almost cried with joy when he saw her come back.


    ¡°I made you worry.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for making you suffer.¡± Lin Yubai blamed himself. He regretted again, why didn¡¯t he learn martial arts, otherwise he might be able to save Jiang Yunzhu.


    This time, he really made up his mind to practice martial arts well.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t blame him. When the two entered the door, Jiang Yunxue cried until her eyes were like peaches.


    Jiang Yunzhu is not here these days, and the Jiang family is also in mourning. It¡¯s all right now, Jiang Yunzhu is back, everyone is happy.


    Jiang Yunzhu quickly talked about her going to Beijing. Lin Yubai listened and agreed very much. Now that the news that Shen Fengming is in Luzhou has spread, if Jiang Yunzhu is still here, there will definitely be trouble.


    Went to the capital, the sea and the sky are bright. Moreover, the Zhen Fusi is in the capital, where it is very easy for Shen Fengming to protect one person.


    That afternoon, Jiang Yunzhu bought a lot of things and went back to Changshi Village, and told Mr. Chen, Jiang Cheng and others about her desire to go to Beijing.


    Although Mr. Chen and the others were surprised, they had already had a premonition. When Jiang Yunzhu asked them that sentence last time, they probably guessed it.


    I just didn¡¯t expect this day to come so soon.


    They looked at Jiang Yunzhu with both pride and emptiness. Jiang Yunzhu was very good, a girl who led them to live a prosperous life step by step, but she was so good that they couldn¡¯t keep up with her footsteps.


    Finally, Jiang Cheng smiled and said, ¡°When I earn more money, I will take your mother and the others to see you in the capital.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll come back to see you too.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Yunzhu, do you really decide? Capital, you are not familiar with the place where you were born.¡± Chen said worriedly.


    ¡°We used to go to Luzhou to sell skewers, didn¡¯t our eyes smudge, but in the end it worked out.¡± Jiang Cheng said.


    Chen thought about it, but she was still worried, suddenly she saw Shen Fengming, and begged, ¡°Mr. Shen, Yunzhu is going to the capital, can I trouble you to take care of her more in the future?¡±


    When Shen Fengming heard this, he had a strange feeling, Mrs. Chen, does this count as handing over Jiang Yunzhu to him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will take good care of her.¡± He said. It¡¯s not about taking care of it, it¡¯s about taking good care of it.


    Everyone was busy thinking about their own thoughts, and no one noticed the problem in his words.


    Later, Jiang Yunzhu went to Qishanju to tell everyone about it.


    Qishanju immediately became lively, some wanted to go to Beijing with Jiang Yunzhu, some wanted to stay.


    Two days later, a group of people left Wuling County. They went to Huaying Academy first, anyway, Jiang Yunzhu sent Jiang Yunxue there.


    ¡°In the future, it will be up to you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said at the entrance of the academy, handing the prepared package to Jiang Yunxue.


    There are clothes in the baggage and the money she prepared for her, which should be enough for her to spend a year.


    Jiang Yunxue nodded, she can do it, ¡°Sister, take care of yourself too.¡±


    ¡°Okay, write to me when you have time.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yunxue agreed.


    Jiang Yunzhu left with Shen Fengming and others, Jiang Yunxue looked at her back, took a deep breath, turned and entered the academy.


    Here, Jiang Yunzhu got into the carriage and continued walking towards the capital. When she went to Beijing this time, she only brought He Ying and Shiliu with her. As for Xue Jing and others, it was better to let them come after she settled down in the capital.


    By the way, she also brought Simba.

 Chapter 90

    As soon as Lin Ting¡¯an returned to Anpinghou¡¯s mansion, Lin Qing came to report that the King of Huainan was here.


    Why did he come in person? Just as Lin Ting¡¯an was surprised, King Huainan had already walked in.


    ¡°The man surnamed Shen has already left Luzhou and went to the capital.¡± King Huainan sat down, said this first, and then said dissatisfiedly, ¡°The people who leaked the news to the Ghost King Zong, they arrested him and killed him.¡± , You insist on some kind of hero to save the beauty.


    How about now? ¡°


    Lin Qing brought tea to the two of them, and Lin Ting¡¯an took a sip, ¡°If you kill her, Governor Shen will indeed be sad. But since he can like one, he will like the second. Is the prince going to kill all the women in the world?


    Wouldn¡¯t it make the lord more happy to **** someone over and let him get what he asks for, suffering every day? ¡°


    ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Huainan Wang snorted, but is it done?


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it true that the prince and the sixth prince have been fighting for so many years without distinguishing who is superior? This is just the beginning. My lord, how do you think about the matter I told you before?¡± Lin Ting¡¯an wrote to King Huainan, not just For Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s matter.


    ¡°Whoever avenges my son, I will support whoever takes that seat.¡± Huainan Wang said coldly. Chaoli, no matter who asks, this is the condition.


    ¡°My lord, don¡¯t you think you got the order wrong? The top priority now is to let the sixth prince remove the prince first. When the sixth prince grows bigger, he will naturally not keep that person.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an said.


    King Huainan rolled his eyelids, he didn¡¯t care about it, he just wanted revenge.


    There was silence in the living room for a while, Lin Ting¡¯an asked, ¡°Since Dudu Shen has left, what¡¯s the prince¡¯s plan?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go back to the capital tomorrow.¡± Huainan Wang said.


    ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s see you in the capital.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an said.


    King Huainan looked at him, why, he is going to the capital too?


    Naturally, Lin Ting¡¯an was going, as he said, the key to everything was still in the capital. Moreover, Jiang Yunzhu disappeared, and he guessed that she must have entered Beijing as well.


    They¡¯re all gone, what¡¯s the point of him being in charge of the world in Luzhou.


    ¡°Then see you in the capital.¡± King Huainan left behind this sentence, got up and left.


    When he arrived at the gate of the Marquis of Anping, he was about to get in the car when he saw a woman kneeling there.


    The woman was fifteen or sixteen years old, with apricot face and peach cheeks, knelt there with frowning brows and red eyes, charming with a trace of sadness, she looked very pitiful.


    King Huainan stopped and walked towards the woman.


    This woman is none other than Jiang Yunxiu. Jiang Yunzhu left, Lin Ting¡¯an returned to Luzhou, and she also wanted to return to Anping Hou Mansion. But when she came back, she found out that both Gao Shun and Mrs. Zhou had been kicked out of the mansion, and she had a lot to do with them, so she couldn¡¯t enter the mansion anymore.


    There was no other way, she could only kneel here and beg Lin Ting¡¯an, hoping that he would take pity on her.


    King Huainan came over. She didn¡¯t know him, but she could guess which nobleman he was by looking at his clothes.


    She greeted him. Because she had been angry for the past two days, her voice was soft.


    The king of Huainan lost his son, and now he likes girls who are so delicate that they seem to ooze water when pinched, and hope that their young bodies can give him a son.


    ¡°Kneel here on a hot day.¡± He said, reaching out to help Jiang Yunxiu.


    Jiang Yunxiu was taken aback, but soon realized that this noble man was interested in her. This made her terrified, but also vaguely happy. Lin Ting¡¯an treated her sternly, and even Xu Qingshan despised her, which made her feel very frustrated.


    But this nobleman was immediately attracted by her, which shows that her beauty is still not inferior to others.


    It¡¯s just that this nobleman is a bit too old, and he can almost be her grandfather.


    She still prefers Lin Ting¡¯an.


    So she quickly avoided Huainan Wang¡¯s hand.


    In the eyes of King Huainan, she seemed to want to refuse or welcome, which made him feel even more itchy. He asked his entourage to tell Lin Ting¡¯an that it would be better to send this woman to him, just to pass the time on the way back to Beijing.


    The entourage went in, and soon Lin Qing came out, accompanied by two beautiful maids, which Lin Ting¡¯an gave to King Huainan.


    As for Jiang Yunxiu, it would be useful for Lin Tingan to keep her.


    ¡°If you want someone from him, he still pushes back and forth like this.¡± King Huainan was about to lose his temper, but the two beautiful maids supported him from left to right, and comforted him softly.


    King Huainan was quickly attracted, but when he was parting, he did not forget to take a look at Jiang Yunxiu.


    It¡¯s not that Jiang Yunxiu is necessary, sometimes, what you can¡¯t get is the best.


    Huainan King left, Jiang Yunxiu seemed to be lost, and soon jumped up again. Lin Ting¡¯an left her, didn¡¯t he?


    Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Jiang Yunzhu finally arrived outside the capital this day after traveling all the way.


    ¡°Master Shen, let¡¯s part here.¡± Jiang Yunzhu opened the curtain of the carriage and said to Shen Fengming that the outline of the capital could be seen from a distance.


    Shen Fengming reined in his horse, ¡°Miss Jiang has arrived in the capital, do you have a place to live?¡±


    No, stay in the hotel first, and then rent a yard, that¡¯s what Jiang Yunzhu planned.


    ¡°I have a courtyard in the capital, Miss Jiang can live there temporarily.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    ¡°Although the imperial examinations are over, the results have not yet been released. The candidates are still in Beijing, so it may be difficult for the inn to find vacant rooms.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu forgot about this.


    ¡°I don¡¯t live in the other courtyard at all, what does Miss Jiang care about?¡± Shen Fengming asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t I also live in your courtyard before.¡±


    When he asked this, Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t tell. If she really couldn¡¯t find a place to live, would she sleep on the street? If he finds out by then, it will be extremely embarrassing to think about it.


    ¡°Then thank you, Mr. Shen. I will stay here for a few days, and I will move out immediately when I find a place.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Shen Fengming said the address of that other hospital, and then watched her go away.


    Sure enough, the capital is bustling and bustling. As soon as you enter the city gate, you will see the three cities in Jiuqu, crowded with people.


    Jiang Yunzhu opened the curtain of the carriage and looked to the side, comparing the scene on the street with the memory in the dream. There are similarities but also great differences.


    She was watching it with great interest, when suddenly a group of people came over there.


    In a place like the capital, when a plaque falls and hits three people, two of them may be relatives of the emperor. The people have lived here for a long time and are used to it. Seeing this group of people, they all moved aside, waiting for them to pass, and then they passed.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s carriage also stopped on the side of the road.


    At this time, the team of people and horses had already come over, in front were a few tall horses and servants, followed by a carriage, the carriage was different from ordinary carriages, with a Mingyu treasure cover, and a luan bell hung under the corner, it looked like a woman , and it is the frame of an extremely valuable woman.


    ¡°It¡¯s Princess Xiao Liyu of Lechang. She is sixteen years old this year. Her biological mother is Concubine Wu, the younger sister of the sixth prince.¡± Sixteen immediately recognized who was in the carriage and explained to Jiang Yunzhu. It¡¯s just that what she didn¡¯t say was that Concubine Wu Gui always wanted to marry Xiao Liyu to Shen Fengming, but Shen Fengming didn¡¯t agree.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know Xiao Liyu very well. When she came to the capital in her dream, Xiao Liyu was already married.


    She didn¡¯t think much, just waited there.


    It¡¯s just that the team stopped, as if something happened.


    For a long time, the convoy did not move forward.


    The common people waiting beside did not dare to make a sound, they only hoped that the nobles would leave early so that they could make a living.


    At this moment, someone came from the other side of the street, and Shen Fengming brought a group of people back to Beijing.


    Many people in the capital were familiar with Qilin Guard¡¯s attire, and they all lowered their heads when they saw this, for fear of getting into trouble.


    Shen Fengming saw Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s carriage parked there from a long distance away, and saw her looking out with the curtain lifted, he frowned slightly.


    ¡°Cousin.¡± Seeing that she really waited for Shen Fengming, Xiao Liyu immediately asked someone to lift the curtain, and said to Shen Fengming.


    It has been several months since I saw Shen Fengming, today he is wearing a white brocade robe, his eyes are deep and sharp, no matter how many times he looks at that face, it still dazzles her.


    ¡°It¡¯s not appropriate for the princess to block the way like this.¡± Shen Fengming only said.


    Xiao Liyu has a girlish nature, when she suddenly sees her sweetheart, she is about to express her feelings, and anyone who thinks that the other party will come up will scold her.


    She said angrily, ¡°This road is the road of my Great Xia Dynasty. I am the princess of the Xia Dynasty. What¡¯s wrong with me here?¡±


    ¡°¡®The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least.''¡± Shen Fengming said.


    ¡°You!¡± Xiao Liyu was angry and aggrieved, she was the daughter of Concubine Wu, and he was the only one who spoke coldly to her since she was young. If it were another person, she would have someone suppress him and punish him at this time.


    She didn¡¯t look at him, didn¡¯t move, just stayed there and saw what he would do.


    Shen Fengming raised his hand, and the Qilin guards behind him immediately moved forward. They don¡¯t care if they are a princess or not, as long as the governor orders, they will carry it out.


    Seeing this scene from the corner of Xiao Liyu¡¯s eyes, she was a little scared, Shen Fengming could really do such a thing. But after he finished, no matter how she went to cry to the concubine mother or the emperor, it didn¡¯t work. This was the most annoying thing.


    Seeing that there was going to be a conflict, at this time one person and one rider rode over from there. He stopped between the two teams and asked Xiao Liyu with a smile, ¡°Is the princess going out of the city?¡±


    It was Yang Sheng, his slightly elongated peach blossom eyes were shining brightly.


    Seeing him, Xiao Liyu became even more annoyed, everyone in Beijing knew that Shen Fengming was not close to women. As for the reason, half of the people guessed that he might have a hidden disease, so he couldn¡¯t do it, and the other half guessed that he liked men.


    A place like Zhenfusi has a lot of men.


    Especially this Yang Sheng, the eldest son of General Zhen Guo, did not go to the battlefield, but joined the Zhen Fu Division, and Shen Fengming was inseparable every day¡­ Shen Fengming seemed to treat him differently from others.


    ¡°Where this princess is going is up to you.¡± Xiao Liyu glared at Yang Sheng, and then said to the accompanying people, ¡°Go back to the palace.¡±


    The convoy immediately turned around and headed towards the palace.


    Yang Sheng was originally here to mediate the conflict, but in the end he was not only stared at, but also envied. He only felt that the way of heaven was so unfair.


    He wanted to turn his head and complain to Shen Fengming, but when he saw Jiang Yunzhu on the side of the road, he couldn¡¯t help frowning.


    When he looked at Shen Fengming again, his eyes were teasing, which meant translated as, yes, finally brought the person back.


    Shen Fengming ignored him at all, and rode forward.


    ¡°Hello.¡± Yang Sheng quickly followed, he had a stomach full of bitterness to tell him. He is not here these days, but it is hard for him. Look at him, he has lost a lot of weight. Now that the person has finally brought it back, at least one meal must be cooked for him, no, it will be delicious for many days.


    The two of them left, and Qilinwei¡¯s people also left.


    Soon, the streets returned to normal.


    Those who don¡¯t know Shen Fengming, quietly ask others. After knowing who he was, they were speechless. This is Governor Shen! I¡¯ve heard that he is as cold and stern as an iceberg, and not close to women. Looking at him just now, he is really true.


    She doesn¡¯t even give the princess face. That is the princess who is delicate, golden and precious, and beautiful and heavenly.


    It can be seen that the rumors should be true.


    I just don¡¯t know if he has an unmentionable illness, or does he like men?


    Judging from just now, it is very likely that he likes men.


    Look at that handsome man¡­


    Everyone didn¡¯t say anything, but they had such thoughts in their hearts and eyes.


    Sixteen is humming, their governors don¡¯t like men, and their bodies are very strong!


    Thinking of this, she glanced at Jiang Yunzhu quietly.

 Chapter 91

    Jiang Yunzhu was only thankful that she didn¡¯t go to the city with Shen Fengming, otherwise she wouldn¡¯t know how troublesome it would be.


    Thinking about it this way, she doesn¡¯t even want to live in Shen Fengming¡¯s other courtyard, in case someone finds out¡­ It¡¯s unclear.


    Or go to the inn and try it, in case there is any vacancy.


    At this time the carriage started to move forward, Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to Wenxianfang!¡± This is the place she planned to go from the beginning.


    ¡°Girl, aren¡¯t you going to Lian Shui Street?¡± Sixteen asked, that¡¯s where Shen Fengming¡¯s other courtyard is located.


    Jiang Yunzhu shook his head.


    The carriage was going to Wenxianfang, Shiliu blinked, not knowing what happened.


    When he arrived at Wenxianfang, Jiang Yunzhu wanted to find an inn to stay in, but he searched two or three inns, but none of them were vacant.


    Jiang Yunzhu was anxious, what should I do?


    At this moment, ¡°Girl Jiang?¡± a cry of surprise.


    Jiang Yunzhu turned her head and saw that it was Gu Yanzhou, Xie Chen and others.


    ¡°I saw you just now, but I didn¡¯t dare to recognize it. I didn¡¯t expect it to be you. How did you come to the capital?¡± Gu Yanzhou asked.


    When Jiang Yunzhu saw them, he also felt very kind.


    Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen greeted the people next to them, and they chatted with Jiang Yunzhu in a teahouse.


    Jiang Yunzhu said her intention of coming, she wanted to visit the capital, and vaguely revealed that she wanted to open a restaurant in the capital.


    Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen were surprised, and quickly expressed their understanding. With Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s craftsmanship, staying in Wuling County did bury her a bit.


    Jiang Yunzhu asked how the two of them did in the exam.


    The two only said that it was not bad, waiting for the announcement and so on.


    Later, when I heard that Jiang Yunzhu wanted to find a place to live, Gu Yanzhou immediately said, ¡°It¡¯s a coincidence. The inn we stayed in had two candidates from Jiangxi. They seemed to have failed in the scientific examination. They left before the results were announced. Miss Jiang You can live there if you want.¡±


    Naturally, Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t wish for it, so he paid tea money and went with the two to the inn where they were staying.


    Sure enough, there were still two upper rooms, and Jiang Yunzhu immediately settled down. She lived in one room, and He Ying and Shiliu lived in one room, which was just right.


    She didn¡¯t have any luggage, and everything was settled quickly.


    In the afternoon, the three of them got together and talked about their respective experiences in these days, and there were endless things to say.


    When Shen Fengming came back, he would naturally go into the palace to see the emperor.


    When Emperor Qinglong saw that he had returned from his illness, he even said two words ¡°good¡± and talked to him for a long time before letting him go.


    After leaving the palace, Shen Fengming went back to the Shen Mansion to meet his parents.


    Princess Danyang and Bachelor Shen were not at home. Today, Li Ge¡¯s hometown has a new grandson, and they went to give gifts together.


    Seeing the child¡¯s joint-like arms and round, chubby face, the two of them were both happy and depressed, wondering when they would be able to hug their grandson.


    On the way back from Li Ge¡¯s hometown, the two quarreled again, but they were just arguing, and they both felt that they were not interested.


    At this time, the servant came to report that the young master had returned, and the two of them were overjoyed at once. Shen Fengming went there for two or three months, they were worried about him, they thought about him day and night, it was as if their days were like years.


    Now, he is finally back!


    ¡°I met my father and mother.¡± Shen Fengming saluted the two of them.


    Princess Danyang took his hand, looked him up and down, and found that he was really well, even more dignified than before, and her heart finally fell to the ground.


    University scholar Shen stood beside him with his hands tied, also looking at Shen Fengming. He saw it more thoroughly than anyone else, and he found that Shen Fengming seemed to have changed when he came back this time. It¡¯s not the outside, it¡¯s the inside.


    In the past, Shen Fengming was like a knife, a ruthless killing weapon, but now he has some other emotions in him.


    He didn¡¯t know whether it was good or not.


    With his personality, it is easy to go to extremes. He sighed lightly.


    The three hadn¡¯t seen each other for a long time, Princess Danyang and Bachelor Shen had a lot to say to Shen Fengming, this time it was rare that the two did not quarrel.


    After all, Princess Danyang mentioned that she liked the food that Shen Fengming brought back last time, but she didn¡¯t know who made it.


    And Shen Fengming is in Luzhou this time¡­


    Speaking of this, Master Shen also came alive.


    It¡¯s just that Shen Fengming skipped a few words and talked about something else.


    The family had dinner at noon, and in the afternoon Shen Fengming went to the Zhen Fu Division, where there were still many things waiting for him to deal with.


    In the evening, Yang Sheng came to Shen Fengming¡¯s place early to wait. He had missed Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s craftsmanship for a long time, and so did his mother, who whispered in his ear every day, this time Jiang Yunzhu came, it was good.


    When Shen Fengming finished handling the matter, the two were about to go out, but someone sent a message.


    Shen Fengming opened it, Hei Zhanzhan¡¯s eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of light frost.


    Yang Sheng quietly glanced at the note, wanted to tease Shen Fengming, but found that he was not in the right mood, so he left and went home tactfully. It¡¯s better not to mess with anyone who knocks over the jar of vinegar, especially the jar of ice vinegar like his boss.


    Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen have lived in the capital for a while, now that Jiang Yunzhu is here, they naturally want to take her out for a walk.


    It¡¯s not far from Liji Steamed Bun Shop. Their steamed stuffed buns are very famous. So they took her to eat buns.


    There were a lot of people in the bun shop, so it took a while.


    After I came out, it was already dark, and the curfew in the capital was late, so it didn¡¯t matter. Today, on the twelfth, the bright moon at Changsong Bridge was just right, so they took her to have a look.


    At this time, there were many literati in the capital, and the bright moon over the Changsong Bridge was a grand scene in the capital. Many people recited poems and argued with each other, talked and laughed, and it was very lively.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the bright moon for a while, and was in a good mood after listening to Gu Yanzhou tell Xie Chen some allusions about this place.


    At Xu time, the three of them returned to the inn.


    ¡°It¡¯s getting late, after washing up in a while, you should go to bed quickly.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said to He Ying and Shiliu as she walked to her room.


    He Ying nodded, but Shiliu suddenly became alert. There was someone in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s room!


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu had already pushed open the door of the room, and Shiliu was about to meet the enemy immediately, but when she saw who was inside, she immediately became as obedient as a kitten. She thought to herself, no wonder she came in so far, only to find someone in the room, it turned out to be Dudu Shen.


    It¡¯s just that Governor Shen doesn¡¯t look very happy¡­


    Shiliu wanted to remind Jiang Yunzhu, but in the end he didn¡¯t dare to speak and went to fetch water for Jiang Yunzhu.


    By the way, she also took He Ying away.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s eyesight was not as good as sixteen¡¯s. In such a dark room, how could she see who was in it. After receiving a pack of fish **** bought at a small stall, she went straight into the room.


    After lighting the candle, she saw someone sitting on the bed.


    It was Shen Fengming, she recognized it instantly.


    It¡¯s just that there was wind in the room, which made the candle flame flicker, as if Shen Fengming¡¯s face was also bright or dark, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.


    ¡°Master Shen.¡± Jiang Yunzhu turned on the candle, completely illuminating Shen Fengming and everything around her, and she felt better.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you live in another courtyard?¡± Shen Fengming¡¯s voice didn¡¯t change.


    Jiang Yunzhu hesitated for a moment, and said: ¡°I have found a place to live, so I don¡¯t want to bother Mr. Shen.¡±


    Shen Fengming looked at Jiang Yunzhu with dark eyes, ¡°You would rather trouble Gu Yanzhou than trouble me?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that he seemed to be angry, but she didn¡¯t bother Gu Yanzhou, it just happened to happen.


    At this time Shen Fengming said again, ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s troublesome, besides, I promised your mother to take good care of you.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu: ¡­ Isn¡¯t that a polite word?


    She didn¡¯t speak, neither did Shen Fengming, the room suddenly became quiet.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought for a while, but decided to explain, ¡°Master Shen, I¡¯ve just arrived in the capital, and I¡¯m staying in your other courtyard, just in case someone finds out¡­¡±


    Shen Fengming frowned, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about these.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu was helpless, how could she not worry.


    She said tactfully, ¡°Master Shen, it¡¯s getting late.¡±


    Shen Fengming looked at her, and Jiang Yunzhu was stared at by his deep eyes, feeling uncomfortable for a moment, just when Jiang Yunzhu was hesitating whether to say a few more words, Shen Fengming suddenly spoke in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ve been here all this time Wait for you.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s words choked.


    She looked at Shen Fengming, and Shen Fengming also looked straight at her, their eyes met, Jiang Yunzhu asked: ¡°Then have you eaten yet?¡±


    Shen Fengming stared at her and shook his head.


    Then he just waited for him so hungry?


    At this time, she didn¡¯t know if there was any food outside. She only had a pack of fish **** in her hand, which she had eaten before.


    Shen Fengming also followed her gaze to look at the bag of fish balls.


    ¡°Then Master Shen¡­¡±


    After a while, Jiang Yunzhu sat on a chair and watched Shen Fengming eat those fish balls. This inn, this fish ball, are extremely unsuitable for him, but he doesn¡¯t seem to feel it at all, and he is very happy to eat it.


    The night wind blew, blowing the candles, and Jiang Yunzhu let out a light breath, with a long breath.


    After eating the fish balls, Shen Fengming had no intention of leaving, and even sat back on the bed.

 Chapter 92

    Jiang Yunzhu felt that she hadn¡¯t made it clear to him last time. It¡¯s also possible that in the situation last time, she didn¡¯t even change her clothes on the bed¡­


    Thinking of this, she decided to have a good talk with him.


    ¡°Master Shen, I have something to tell you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    She spoke very solemnly, and Shen Fengming also became serious.


    ¡°Some of my actions before may have misunderstood you, but our identities are indeed very different, and I don¡¯t want to marry into a noble family, so it¡¯s better for us to meet less in the future.¡± Jiang Yunzhu finally said it out, with a sigh of relief At the same time, she was also a little melancholy.


    But there are some words, some things that must be said and must be done.


    This is not the first time she said this, Shen Fengming looked at her for a long time, and said, ¡°I know why you don¡¯t want to marry into a noble family, your life is simple and happy, but I¡­¡± His parents were married through politics, and they had been arguing endlessly since childhood. When I was a child, I even wondered why they gave birth to him.


    When he grows up, the surrounding environment is still the same, so he would rather stay in the Zhenfu Department, and would rather investigate the case endlessly.


    It¡¯s just, ¡°I don¡¯t want to let go.¡± He looked at Jiang Yunzhu and said.


    He let go twice, that was his limit.


    Jiang Yunzhu was startled.


    ¡°I said, I will try my best to give you the life you want. If you don¡¯t want to live in my house, we can live outside. If you don¡¯t want to see those people, you don¡¯t have to. Also, you don¡¯t have to worry about anyone bullying you, you You can do whatever you want.¡± He stared at Jiang Yunzhu and said word by word.


    His eyes were as black as an abyss, almost engulfing Jiang Yunzhu.


    But she seemed to feel his firmness, what he said might be true.


    He will protect her and prevent others from hurting her.


    But, what if he was the one who hurt her? Jiang Yunzhu sighed. In fact, his words are already very sincere. As a son of a family, he is willing to live outside with her. If she doesn¡¯t want to see those people, she can do so¡­


    ¡°If I still can¡¯t get used to that kind of life, when do I want to leave?¡± She suddenly wanted to ask this question. In fact, the situation in the dream frightened her.


    Shen Fengming looked at her and remained silent for a long time, so long that Jiang Yunzhu thought he would not answer.


    ¡°Okay.¡± He said suddenly. She gave him a chance, but if one day she was really wronged, felt unhappy, and wanted to leave, he would let go again.


    When he said this, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant. It was obvious that this decision was very difficult for him.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart ignited a little fire, and then it exploded.


    He actually agreed to let her go?


    ¡°You¡¯re telling the truth?¡± she asked.


    Shen Fengming nodded solemnly, this is his promise to her.


    ¡°You really don¡¯t mind my identity?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked again.


    This time Shen Fengming answered a little more easily, ¡°I don¡¯t give up my identity because I have my responsibilities, my parents, my friends, my subordinates¡­ It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to part with you, otherwise I really like being with you. Life in Qishanju.¡±


    His love words, which are not considered love words, made Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart soft. She never thought that he would give up anything for her, as long as he regarded her as an equal.


    Shen Fengming treats her well, she knows it. It¡¯s not that she has no feelings for him at all, otherwise, even if she drank before, she wouldn¡¯t let him touch her.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart was in a mess, and after a while, she said slowly, ¡°I don¡¯t want to marry yet.¡±


    ¡°I can wait.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu blushed, what was he waiting for? ¡°I don¡¯t want to interfere in your life,¡± she said. His world is full of dignitaries and dignitaries. If she is contaminated, it is like a lonely boat breaking into the sea, and it is easy to capsize.


    What should I do then, let him protect her? She didn¡¯t want to, and didn¡¯t like that feeling.


    ¡°En.¡± Shen Fengming agreed, if she didn¡¯t want to, he wouldn¡¯t let anyone bother her.


    ¡°I want to do what I want to do.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said again.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Fengming always thought so.


    Jiang Yunzhu had nothing to say, the dim candlelight shone on her face, she lowered her head slightly, her thick eyelashes moved slightly, casting shallow shadows under the eyelids, quiet and beautiful.


    Shen Fengming got up, came to her, looked down at her soft face, ¡°So, Miss Jiang is willing to give me a chance?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu raised her head and glared at him.


    But he didn¡¯t know how moving her watery gaze was under the candlelight.


    Shen Fengming just looked at her like that, his eyes burning.


    The evening wind blows, making people inexplicably restless.


    Fortunately, there were footsteps coming from the next door, Shiliu La He Ying went to fetch water, after dawdling for a long time, they couldn¡¯t drag it any longer, and the two came back with water.


    ¡°It¡¯s getting late, Mr. Shen should go back.¡± Jiang Yunzhu hurriedly said.


    ¡°You insist on calling me Lord Shen.¡± Shen Fengming frowned.


    He doesn¡¯t like it, but she quite likes this address, ¡°Lord Shen?¡±


    She called out on purpose, just to annoy him, Shen Fengming noticed this, and was not angry at all, even inexplicably happy.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that she was naive enough.


    ¡°It¡¯s better to move to my other courtyard.¡± Shen Fengming still remembered this incident, ¡°My other courtyard is not far from Zhenfusi, and no one knows that it is my courtyard. You go live, no one doubts Something.¡± Mainly, it¡¯s very safe there.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought for a while, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll go to the shop tomorrow, maybe there¡¯s something suitable, and I¡¯ll have a place to live when I settle down.¡±


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t want her to work so hard, but he also knew that this was what she wanted to do, so he didn¡¯t say anything.


    Early the next morning, Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen came to find Jiang Yunzhu, wanting to take her to see other famous scenic spots in the capital, but Jiang Yunzhu declined. She came to the capital for business, and opened the restaurant first.


    Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen understood, and only asked her if she needed help. They happen to have nothing to do right now.


    ¡°No need for now, thank you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    The two left, and Jiang Yunzhu took He Ying and Shiliu out.


    In fact, she had thought about it in her dream, if she opened a restaurant in the capital, where would she open it, and she had thought carefully about the journey to Beijing, that¡¯s why she came to Wenxianfang. She is purposeful.


    Wenxianfang is located in the east of the capital. The layout of the capital is ¡°the east is rich and the west is noble, and the south is poor and the north is humble¡±. That is, the east city is mostly rich and noble families, while the west city is more honorable and honorable. Living here, the two sentences ¡°poor in the south and low in the north¡± are better understood.


    To open a restaurant is to find the right customer base.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t want to open a big restaurant in the capital this time. The water in the capital is too deep, maybe which shop or restaurant is the property of a certain royal family member, and a shopkeeper Song can make so many moths. open for a long time.


    But she doesn¡¯t want to be that kind of small restaurant. In that case, there is no difference between opening in the capital and opening in other places.


    So she decided to make a compromise and open a private restaurant.


    She only receives a fixed number of people every day, and she decides what to cook on that day.


    In this era, there is no concept of private kitchen restaurants, but there are actually many private kitchens. The economy of the Xia Dynasty was developed, and there were many wealthy merchants, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants who were ranked at the bottom. Only twenty-four nails can be used.


    By analogy, the higher the status, the more beams and columns can be used, the bigger the house can be built, and the more nails can be used on the gate.


    Like the main gate of the palace, there are ninety-nine and eighty-one nails, representing the supreme imperial power.


    And businessmen wait at the end, and the treatment is the worst.


    This brings up a problem, the merchants are the richest, but they can¡¯t build too big houses and live in too good yards, so what should they do?


    So they began to compare in other places, one of which is to raise beautiful female concubines. When guests come to visit, the master will let them come out to serve around. bright.


    There is also a famous chef at home, and a famous chef usually has his own special dishes, and because he only cooks in this family¡¯s home, gradually, this special dish has become the family¡¯s private dish.


    It means that if you want to eat this dish, you can only come to this restaurant.


    For wealthy businessmen, there is nothing more popular and ambitious than this.


    Jiang Yunzhu has no intention of working as a cook in a rich family, but working in this private restaurant makes it difficult.


    There are many wealthy businessmen in the east of the city, which is also suitable for opening this kind of restaurant. In fact, there may be business in the west of the city, but Jiang Yunzhu doesn¡¯t want to provoke those powerful people, so let¡¯s forget it.


    She walked around the street and got a general understanding of the situation here, so she found a Guanya and walked in.

 Chapter 93

    There are people coming and going in Guanya, and in a place like the capital, no one dares to underestimate others. It is not guaranteed that anyone who looks ordinary is a relative of a nobleman, so the Ya people inside are very polite and polite.


    The person who received Jiang Yunzhu was a middle-aged woman.


    The woman was dressed in a brown dress and spoke with a smile. She was a cheerful person.


    Jiang Yunzhu told her her request, which is to rent a large store, and then it is best to book a long-term lease.


    The woman euphemistically asked her psychological price.


    When Jiang Yunzhu was shopping before, he also roughly inquired about the rent of nearby shops. It can only be said that she deserves to be in the capital, fortunately she is not planning to build a big restaurant, otherwise her seemingly expensive net worth might not be able to support this restaurant.


    She spoke her mind.


    After hearing this, the woman felt that it could be done, and she smiled even more on her face.


    ¡°Let me first find out which shops are available for rent, and then I can talk to you about it. I¡¯ll come back tomorrow, girl, and I¡¯ll give you an answer, okay?¡± the woman asked.


    She can save Jiang Yunzhu a lot of things like this, of course Jiang Yunzhu is willing.


    The two agreed on a meeting time tomorrow, and Jiang Yunzhu left.


    As soon as she went out, she seemed to have a feeling, looked towards the corner of the street, and saw a carriage parked there, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and it was Shen Fengming or someone else inside.


    she walked over.


    ¡°Looking for a shop?¡± Shen Fengming asked when he saw her coming out of the dental shop.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yunzhu replied.


    ¡°Need help?¡± he asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu shook his head.


    Shen Fengming saw that she was a bit tired, so he handed over a cushion to let her rest for a while, they will have to wait a while before arriving at the place.


    ¡°Where are you going?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°Go and see the lotus.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Zhang Yuntai? At this time, the lotus is just in full bloom. By the way, lotus, lotus leaves, Jiang Yunzhu thought of a lot of dishes in an instant, if her private restaurant can open soon, it will be used.


    Thinking of this, she didn¡¯t feel tired again, and bowed her head in thought.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t bother her either.


    In this way, the carriage rolled and drove through the streets, and the surrounding became more and more remote, until it stopped in front of a wood.


    Shen Fengming got off the car.


    As soon as Jiang Yunzhu looked up, he saw a stretch of strange rocks and a green forest behind it.


    This place doesn¡¯t seem to be Zhang Yuntai!


    ¡°In front.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Thinking of the valley he took her to last time, Jiang Yunzhu followed him.


    While walking, Shen Fengming explained, ¡°This is the back mountain of the White Horse Temple. Everyone says that the maple leaves in the White Horse Temple are the best, but the lotus flowers are also beautiful.¡±


    It turned out to be like this, Jiang Yunzhu came to the White Horse Temple to see Maple Leaf in her dream, maybe she came at the wrong time, and she didn¡¯t see many Maple Leaf, but there were a lot of people, crowded around.


    Especially when going up and down the mountain, the people in front and behind are hugging you, you can¡¯t walk fast if you want to, and you can¡¯t stop if you want to.


    At this time, when we go up to the mountain again, the surroundings are quiet, but there is a special scene.


    The two of them were not in a hurry, they stopped and went, instead of going up the mountain, they went around behind the mountain.


    Suddenly, the front opened up.


    The lotus leaves are green and crystal clear, especially, there are many white lotus flowers here, and the white lotus stands in the water, commensurate with the green leaves, graceful and beautiful.


    Jiang Yunzhu was looking at the lotus flowers, while Shen Fengming turned to look at her.


    Seeing the smile on her face, he only felt that his mood had improved.


    After returning to the inn, Jiang Yunzhu had a lot of ideas in her mind, and immediately started planning her private restaurant, looking up recipes, checking for omissions from time to time to make up for vacancies, and she didn¡¯t even know when Shen Fengming left.


    The author has something to say:


    Closed the comment area, and then modified the previous article


    One is to change the fact that the female lead lives in the other courtyard of the male lead


    Second, I changed the attitude of the heroine in the previous chapter, you can go back and read it


    Then this chapter changed a bit


    The next update will be at 6pm, thank you everyone

 Chapter 94

    The next day, Jiang Yunzhu came to the tooth shop early.


    The woman was also waiting for her, ¡°Miss Jiang, there are four shops that meet your requirements, do you want to go and have a look?¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu came here for this.


    The woman took her out to see the first one. This one is vacant now. How should I put it? It is quite satisfactory, and it seems to meet Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s requirements in every point, but all of them are of a passing level, and there is nothing outstanding.


    It can only be said to be unsatisfactory.


    The woman saw that she didn¡¯t seem to like this shop, so she took her to the second shop.


    The second one is better than the first one, but the surrounding environment is too bad.


    Go to the third store, the third store is spacious and the surrounding environment is good, which makes Jiang Yunzhu very excited.


    The woman stood there smiling, and Ren Jiang Yunzhu looked back and forth.


    After Jiang Yunzhu finished watching, she was 80% satisfied. When she came back and saw the woman¡¯s smile, she knew it in her heart. In fact, the woman also knew that she would like this shop, but instead of taking her directly, she took her to see the other two shops first. The chances of her renting this store are much higher.


    Jiang Yunzhu remained calm, ¡°Is there another shop?¡±


    The woman was taken aback, ¡°Miss Jiang doesn¡¯t like this shop?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t say yes or no, wait a minute, I need a woman to help negotiate the price, she can¡¯t let her find out the truth.


    Sure enough, the woman looked suspicious and said, ¡°You don¡¯t really need to look at that shop.¡±


    ¡°how?¡±


    ¡°Ms. Jiang rented the shop because she wanted to start a business. That shop, let me tell you the truth, has changed four owners in five years, and none of them can last long.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± When she said that, Jiang Yunzhu became interested instead.


    The woman had no choice but to say, ¡°You should go and see for yourself, you will know at a glance.¡±


    Afterwards, she took Jiang Yunzhu out, crossed the streets and alleys, and came to a street. As she walked in, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street.


    Shiliu followed behind Jiang Yunzhu, already vigilant, this woman won¡¯t do harm to anyone, right?


    At this time, it was almost at the end of the street, the woman stopped, pointed to a nearby place and said, ¡°Look, this is here.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu turned her head and saw that it was a small two-story wooden building with a cover and a plaque hanging on the upper floor, Fengjulou, the name of this store, it seems that it is also a restaurant.


    ¡°Miss Jiang should understand, this street is originally a small street, this shop is still at the end of the street, no one usually comes here at all.¡± The woman said.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked around and this small building carefully, the more she looked, the more excited she became, isn¡¯t this the place she was looking for! She wants to cook in her own kitchen and doesn¡¯t need people to come and go. This kind of quiet place is just right, and she has already figured out how to decorate this small building as soon as she took a look at it.


    This place was tailor-made for her.


    She was happy in her heart, but she didn¡¯t show it at all on her face, and she even said disgustedly, ¡°Sure enough, it doesn¡¯t work, it seems that the shop just now is better.¡±


    The woman¡¯s good patience kept her from showing any strange looks, so she said, this house is not good, she still didn¡¯t believe it, now you know!


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you go and have a look inside?¡± Jiang Yunzhu seemed to be struggling.


    The woman let her go, and the two entered the shop. The current owner of this shop is named Pan. He signed a contract with the shop owner¡¯s family for three years. After less than a year, he couldn¡¯t hold on anymore and wanted to sublet.


    When Boss Pan heard that Jiang Yunzhu wanted to rent his shop, he immediately started talking about how good his shop was.


    From the woman¡¯s point of view, this was a waste of time, so she exposed Boss Pan¡¯s lies indifferently, and then wanted Jiang Yunzhu to quickly settle down on the store just now.


    Jiang Yunzhu also showed hesitation.


    Invisibly, the two sang the oboe perfectly.


    Boss Pan was anxious when he heard this, so he started to lower the rent.


    When he dropped to six hundred and fifty taels, Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll rent this shop.¡±


    Boss Pan and the woman, who were about to give up, stared wide-eyed.


    Immediately, Boss Pan beamed and said in his heart, he finally got rid of this hot potato. Although he lost some money, it was better than losing all of it.


    However, he still had to pretend to be heartbroken, for fear that Jiang Yunzhu would go back on his word and stop renting his shop.


    His happy and sad look is really funny.


    The woman was not too happy, she took the rent as a fee, the shop just now cost 1200 taels, this shop only needed 650 taels, almost half of the difference, and her income was much less .


    ¡°Miss Jiang, what business do you want?¡± the woman asked unwillingly.


    ¡°Let¡¯s build a restaurant.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said casually.


    ¡°Here, in a restaurant, the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys¡­¡± the woman persuaded, just look at Boss Pan.


    ¡°Really?¡± Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t care, maybe Boss Pan¡¯s wine wasn¡¯t fragrant enough?


    Seeing the persuasion, the woman didn¡¯t move, and said in her heart that she was greedy for petty gains and suffered big losses. Those who have rented this shop in recent years have all been like this. When she couldn¡¯t do it anymore, she came to ask her to transfer the shop, and she knew how to write the word ¡°regret¡±.


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to rent, but the woman had no choice but to discuss the specific matters with Boss Pan immediately.


    Boss Pan is subletting it, and he has to get the consent of the owner.


    ¡°This is no problem.¡± Boss Pan patted his chest and said, ¡°The master¡¯s family is very good.¡±


    The woman glanced at him, because she knew that her shop was not easy to rent, so it was easier to talk.


    Soon, Boss Pan found someone from the main family.


    It was a man who looked like a housekeeper. He heard that Boss Pan wanted to transfer the shop. He had no objection, as long as someone paid him the rent every year.


    ¡°If the shop expires, can I continue to renew the contract with you?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked the man.


    The butler almost laughed, he wished she could keep renting this shop.


    ¡°Yes.¡± He said.


    ¡°The rent?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°Just according to him, 800 taels a year, and each time you sign for three years. This is the lowest price set by my wife. Don¡¯t tell me, it¡¯s useless.¡±


    ¡°Then why don¡¯t we sign the deed now, so as to avoid trouble in the future.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Boss Pan, the woman, and the housekeeper were all amazed.


    The woman thought she might have lost her mind.


    Boss Pan wanted to persuade her, but held back. What if Jiang Yunzhu stopped renting his shop after he persuaded her? He waited for three months before someone who was willing to take over the shop, and he couldn¡¯t let her run away.


    The butler said sternly, ¡°If you really want to sign for three years, no matter how your business is, you must pay the rent on time every year. Otherwise, I will go to the government office to sue you.¡±


    ¡°I know.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    The butler looked her up and down, she was such a beautiful girl, followed by two servant girls. The two maids also look good. Or which family¡¯s daughter is just trying to have fun!


    Count him lucky today.


    Soon, Jiang Yunzhu signed two leases, one with Boss Pan, a two-year lease with an annual rent of 650 taels. One was signed with the housekeeper, with a three-year lease and an annual rent of 800 taels.


    Boss Pan has already paid this year¡¯s rent, and Jiang Yunzhu only needs to give him 650 taels minus the difference of 150 taels next year, that is, 500 taels.


    Jiang Yunzhu took out the bank note and immediately gave him five hundred taels.


    It is equivalent to this year, she only paid 500 taels, and she rented this shop, which is really a pleasant surprise.


    ¡°Girl, you¡­¡± Boss Pan finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting the money, and wanted to persuade Jiang Yunzhu a few words, but felt that he was too hypocritical, so he just left.


    Sure enough, the capital city is not so easy to mess with. He failed in business this time, and he planned to go back to his hometown and never come again.


    ¡°Next time, if you want to sublet the store, you can also find me.¡± The woman said to Jiang Yunzhu after collecting the agency fee. In her opinion, Jiang Yunzhu would come to her sooner or later.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled and said nothing, as long as she gets the benefits, she can be happy.


    The butler also took the deed and left.


    ¡°In two days, the girl will come to collect the shop.¡± Boss Pan said, there are still a lot of things in his shop that need to be dealt with.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu left.


    After that, she didn¡¯t stay idle. She did what she was used to before, finding a place to order tableware, and finding a plaque shop to write plaques. This time she didn¡¯t bother Shen Fengming, this is the capital city, if it is not guaranteed that someone knows his handwriting, it will be troublesome.


    Anyway, this time I don¡¯t rely on the plaque to attract people, she just finds a scholar to write a few words, and make it into a plaque.


    Then there are various materials for decoration and some things to be used in the kitchen.


    She has been so busy these two days that her feet never touch the ground.


    Today, it was time to close the store, but she still had another thing in mind. This morning, she has been looking out.


    The inn was deserted and deserted today. The candidates had all gone to see the rankings when the rankings were released. The rest were basically like Jiang Yunzhu, looking out and waiting for news.


    Seeing that it was Sishi, the outside suddenly became lively.


    Soon, a group of people hugged Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen into the inn.


    ¡°Congratulations, Brother Gu, I didn¡¯t expect our Wuling County to win the first place this year.¡± Someone said excitedly.


    ¡°Yes, brother Gu, you are a role model for my generation.¡± Someone responded.


    Some people also said, ¡°Brother Xie is also in high school. This year, our Wuling County has two students. Could it be that our Wuling County is about to prosper?¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone was talking in a hurry, and there were firecrackers and crackling outside.


    Then someone brought the good news to announce the good news.


    Gu Yanzhou, the first in the first class, the number one scholar, Xie Chen, the twelfth in the second class, Jinshi and the first.


    The owner of the inn had long been looking forward to the number one among the candidates living in his family. For this reason, he bought firecrackers many years ago. Now that he heard that his guest really won the number one, he hurriedly urged Xiao Er to set off firecrackers to celebrate.


    From now on, his inn can also be called Zhuangyuan Building.


    It will definitely be more and more prosperous.


    Everyone surrounded Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen, like a bunch of flowers.


    Jiang Yunzhu also heard what everyone said, and was happy for them both. Sure enough, some of the things in the dream were true. Gu Yanzhou is indeed the number one scholar.


    But thank you, I don¡¯t know what happened in my dream.


    Now he has passed the Jinshi exam.


    While dealing with the crowd, Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen were actually looking for someone with their eyes. When they saw Jiang Yunzhu being pushed aside, they all looked happy and wanted to come and talk to her.


    Jiang Yunzhu shook his head, so many people, so lively, they should enjoy this beautiful moment.

 Chapter 95

    Both Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen had a lot to say to Jiang Yunzhu, but there were too many people around, so they could only stand there and deal with it.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at it for a while, then turned and left. She was happy for them, but she also had her own things to do.


    Soon came to the rented store, Boss Pan was already waiting here.


    In the past two days, he has dealt with the business in the store and is ready to go back to his hometown.


    ¡°There are still some things in the store. If the girl can use them, she can use them. It¡¯s okay to throw them away if she doesn¡¯t need them.¡± Boss Pan gave Jiang Yunzhu two keys, one for the store and the other for the courtyard.


    The shop is at the end of the street, with a small two-story building in front and a spacious yard in the back. There are four main rooms and four side rooms in the yard. Boss Pan used to live here. In order to go out easily, he opened another door on the side of the courtyard, if this is the gate of that courtyard.


    ¡°Thank you, Boss Pan.¡± Jiang Yunzhu thanked him sincerely.


    This made Boss Pan even more embarrassed. He really felt that he had cheated Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Take care, girl.¡± He covered his face and left.


    Jiang Yunzhu took the key, opened the door of the store first, and went in to watch. In only two days, the things in the store were not cleaned up, and it looked very messy. But it doesn¡¯t matter, just wait until it¡¯s cleaned up.


    In this restaurant, the first floor is the lobby, and the second floor is the box.


    There was nothing to see in the lobby, so Jiang Yunzhu went straight up to the second floor, walked into a box, looked around, and knew that she would have to redo everything.


    Then she walked to the railing and looked out, and sure enough she stood tall and could see far. From here, you can see most of Wenxianfang, the high and low pavilions, and the deep and shallow courtyards.


    She was interested and went in one by one to check. When she entered the box on the far right, she immediately fell in love with this place.


    From here, the palace can be seen from a distance. The large expanse of yellow glazed tiles and the red palace walls, although not clearly visible, one can imagine how luxurious it should be there.


    If you look closer, you can see a large area of emerald green lake water, as well as thick and faint lush forests.


    Closer, a few streets away, is the main street of Wenxianfang.


    There was a lot of people on the street, and the cars and horses were in parallel. Jiang Yunzhu was attracted, and looked at it for a long time before looking away.


    She decided that after the box was finished, it would not be open to the public, and it would only be her private place. It¡¯s okay, she can look at the distance here, drink tea and drink, this is the life she longed for before.


    Thinking of it this way, she wished she could decorate the whole shop immediately to see if it was what she thought.


    Reluctantly going downstairs, she went to the backyard.


    There is nothing special about the backyard. Boss Pan doesn¡¯t seem to be a person who pays attention to enjoyment. The backyard seems to have been renovated two or three years ago, so he lived in it directly.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that she would live here for a long time, so she decided to decorate it well.


    The only thing that surprises her is that Boss Pan also owns a restaurant, so the kitchen in the backyard is very large, and there are all kinds of pots and stoves in it, which saves her a lot of trouble.


    Corresponding his thoughts with the reality one by one, Jiang Yunzhu immediately called the people he had found before, and explained to them how to pretend, and those people immediately started working.


    The capital city is different from Wuling County, the more details, the less sloppy.


    So this time Jiang Yunzhu put her heart into everything, even if it was a single pattern, she demanded that there be no deviations.


    Three days passed like this in a flash. Today, the No. 1, No. 2, and Tanhua Parade, Jiang Yunzhu never caught up with such a grand event in her dreams, so she decided to go and see it today.


    Mainly, the champion is Gu Yanzhou, someone she knows.


    The streets are crowded with people, and they are a bit crowded.


    Jiang Yunzhu was hesitating whether to watch from a distance, or pick a gap to squeeze in, and said in a voice, ¡°Go to the teahouse over there, I have booked a box.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu turned her head, it was Shen Fengming, he was dressed in a black brocade robe, with a tall and tall body.


    There were too many people, and she didn¡¯t refuse his kindness.


    The two went to the nearby tea house.


    This teahouse is actually three stories high. Shen Fengming¡¯s box is in the middle of the third floor. Standing there, he can clearly see the situation below. Because of the paper window covering the railing, if the people above don¡¯t want to, the people below can¡¯t see it. It¡¯s a really good place.


    The rent of this box must be worth a lot, Jiang Yunzhu thought about it, but didn¡¯t say it.


    She stood there and looked down, seeing that the sky was shaking.


    Shen Fengming was looking at her, she has been busy these days, he couldn¡¯t find time to stay with her for a while, now finally there are only two people left.


    She seemed to be a little lighter, but the look on her face was even more dazzling.


    At this time, the street was full of gongs and drums in the distance. Here comes the champion man, everyone looks there, and Jiang Yunzhu also looks there.


    From a distance, I saw a group of people riding horses, surrounded by red silk and golden drums.


    Getting closer, Jiang Yunzhu finally saw the appearance of the man on horseback clearly.


    The leader was dressed in a red brocade robe, a black gauze cap, and red silk, whether it was Gu Yanzhou or someone else.


    Gu Yanzhou was already outstanding, like clouds and water, wearing this outfit, he seemed even more like a **** descending to earth.


    On both sides of him are No. 2 and Tan Hua. These two people are only in their twenties. No. 2 looks a bit dark, but their faces are resolute. Matching his appearance, they are quite handsome.


    Tanhua is worthy of Tanhua¡¯s destiny, although not as good as Gu Yanzhou, but also very handsome.


    It is conceivable that the impact of these three talents on the people on the street.


    Everyone was shouting, but they couldn¡¯t make out what they were shouting.


    ¡°This year the emperor intends to appoint new recruits, so most of the candidates for this year¡¯s election are young and have no family background.¡± Shen Fengming explained on the side.


    Jiang Yunzhu understood a little bit, no wonder the top three are so young this year.


    She wanted to see better, so she half leaned out to look.


    Gu Yanzhou was sitting on the horse, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. He should have a passionate expression, but at the moment he is actually very preoccupied.


    This morning, he went to the palace to attend the Qionglin Banquet, and he also met someone.


    Shen Fengming.


    He is not a grain merchant from the capital at all, but the famous Governor Shen of Qilin Guard.


    Then he is in Changshi Village? And Jiang Yunzhu.


    Does Jiang Yunzhu know his identity? What the **** is he trying to do.


    Gu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but worry.


    Suddenly, he raised his head and saw Jiang Yunzhu standing in a tea house in front left, waving at him.


    Gu Yanzhou showed a smile.


    But soon, that smile froze.


    Shen Fengming stood behind her, and he was sitting on a horse, so he could vaguely see his appearance.


    He¡­ Gu Yanzhou stared at Shen Fengming closely.


    Shen Fengming noticed his gaze, but didn¡¯t care, he was just looking at the person in front of him.


    At the same time, someone was watching Shen Fengming.


    In the teahouse diagonally opposite, Xie Chen also attended the Qionglin Banquet before, so he also knew Shen Fengming¡¯s identity.


    He is the twelfth in the second class. It is rumored that this year the emperor attaches great importance to these candidates and wants to appoint them. Those who want to make friends with him will naturally treat him as a guest, so he can also stand in the teahouse diagonally opposite .


    The person he is most grateful to is Jiang Yunzhu. To him, she is both a friend and a benefactor.


    Knowing Shen Fengming¡¯s identity, knowing that he has been hiding his name before, and seeing that he is with Jiang Yunzhu now, how could he not worry about Jiang Yunzhu.


    The parading team didn¡¯t walk too fast, but after a short distance, they still walked quickly.


    The team slowly disappeared, and the crowd was still reluctant to leave, but it was not as excited as before. Everyone was discussing the scene just now and began to disperse slowly.


    After watching, Jiang Yunzhu wanted to turn around and go back to the box.


    Who knew that Shen Fengming was standing behind her, she didn¡¯t pay attention, and bumped into it directly.


    Crashed into a flexible and generous chest.


    She wanted to back subconsciously, but a hand grabbed her waist.


    ¡°Hmm¡­¡± she whispered.


    But that hand squeezed even tighter, pulling her into his arms.


    ¡°Master Shen,¡± she called.


    The strength in that hand was a little stronger, as if he was dissatisfied with her calling him that.


    Well, Jiang Yunzhu knows current affairs and doesn¡¯t call him Mr. Shen, but can you let her go first, she feels a little pain in her waist.


    Shen Fengming noticed it and let go of her, but he didn¡¯t let go completely.


    He lightly wrapped his arms around her waist, neither hurting her nor letting her go.


    His chin rested against her ear.


    ¡°Let me hold you for a while.¡± He said softly.


    Maybe it was because he was talking in her ear, or maybe his voice was too soft, but Jiang Yunzhu could hear a little hope.


    Her nose is full of the fragrance of the moon on his body, and her ears are almost touching the skin of his chin.


    Soon, her earlobes seemed to be dyed a blush.


    Shen Fengming saw it, his pitch-black eyes deepened, and his arms became more vigorous. It¡¯s just that he quickly let go and just hugged her like that.


    After a while, Jiang Yunzhu pushed him away, and the two started talking.


    Most of the time, she was talking about Jiang Yunzhu. She rented the shop and started to decorate it. It is estimated that it will be installed in more than half a month.


    Then she will move there to live.


    Shen Fengming heard this and asked, ¡°When your shop opens, do you want to hire people?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll definitely hire him.¡± Jiang Yunzhu had already thought about this matter. The people from Qishanju, Xue Jing and Gu Qifeng were willing to come to the capital, and Xie Lian would definitely follow Xie Chen. Wherever he went, she would go there.


    So here, as well as Qishanju, they have to hire people.


    The matter over at Qishanju has now been handed over to Li He, so she doesn¡¯t need to worry about it.


    Here, she calculated that at least six more people should be hired. Her private restaurant takes the route of high-quality goods, and the service must keep up.


    ¡°I have some people here, why don¡¯t you see if they are suitable.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    ¡°Who?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked, if it was someone from Qilinwei, she wouldn¡¯t dare to accept it.


    Shen Fengming explained that it doesn¡¯t count if he is a member of Qilinwei. There are many retired people in Qilin Guard. They left Qilin Guard for various reasons. Some of them saw too many unfair things and became more and more depressed. In the end, they had to leave. Some of them had various problems in the process of carrying out their tasks. ,etc.


    After they retired, some of them trained newcomers for Qilinwei, some of them were dissipated, and some of them had nothing to do.


    ¡°You can meet them, if you think it¡¯s okay, they are willing, you can let them work in your shop.¡± Shen Fengming said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t force them, nor force you, just give you a choice.¡±


    ¡°Is this okay?¡± Jiang Yunzhu was a little worried. Qi Linwei retired, and they are all very capable people. Would you like to work as a waiter in her shop?


    ¡°You¡¯ll know it when you meet them. Actually, it¡¯s my selfishness.¡± Shen Fengming said. If Jiang Yunzhu is willing to hire them, it may be their luck.


    The author has something to say:


    There are a few chapters that have been changed before, it is about the female lead living in the male lead¡¯s other courtyard, you can jump back and have a look

 Chapter 96

    What Shen Fengming said was very sincere, and Jiang Yunzhu believed that he must have thought about it before saying so, so he promised to meet those people in two days, and then decide whether to hire them or not.


    After leaving the teahouse, Jiang Yunzhu continued to go about her own affairs, and returned to the inn when it was dark.


    Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen have been waiting for her for a long time.


    ¡°Miss Jiang.¡± Gu Yanzhou said worriedly.


    Jiang Yunzhu saw that there seemed to be something going on between the two of them?


    After a while, the three of them sat in a corner of the inn lobby. Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen looked at each other before saying to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Does Miss Jiang know the identity of Mr. Shen?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t expect that they would ask this. In fact, there is nothing to hide about this matter, so she nodded.


    Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen were very surprised, they thought Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know. At least when they went to Beijing to rush for the exam, Shen Fengming hadn¡¯t revealed his identity yet.


    ¡°Something happened, so I knew his identity.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said half-truthfully.


    Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen fell silent. Jiang Yunzhu knew Shen Fengming¡¯s identity and was still with him.


    ¡°Girl Jiang, if you don¡¯t want to¡­¡± Gu Yanzhou thought about it. If Jiang Yunzhu was forced, he could help her find a way.


    Jiang Yunzhu shook his head.


    She is like this, which can already explain some problems.


    After a moment of silence, the three talked about something else.


    There is still some time before the official appointment, the two plan to go back to Wuling County tomorrow, first to share the good news with their families, and second, to settle down with their families.


    After the Ministry of Officials appoints officials, the two may go directly to take office.


    ¡°I heard that the emperor intends to break the rules and appoint candidates from this department?¡± This is not a secret, Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    Gu Yanzhou and the two nodded. There is such a saying in Chaoli, but this ¡°unconventional appointment¡± does not know what kind of ¡°unconventional¡± method it is.


    Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore, Xie Chen asked Jiang Yunzhu if they would go back to Wuling County tomorrow, if there was anything they needed to bring or help.


    Really, ¡°Can you send me a message to Xue Jing and Gu Qifeng, if they want to go to Beijing, they can come.¡±


    ¡°A little thing.¡±


    The three talked for a while, and Jiang Yunzhu went back to rest after being tired all day.


    Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen were left, and the two put their smiles away, still thinking about the past. Jiang Yunzhu came to the capital suddenly. They didn¡¯t think about it before, but thinking about it now, maybe it has something to do with that Governor Shen.


    Did she really voluntarily entangle with him? Even if it is, what will she do in the future.


    In the eyes of others, this may be a blessing from heaven. After all, the Shen family is one of the largest families in the Xia Dynasty, and Shen Fengming holds a high position. But from Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s point of view, they cannot help worrying about her.


    Qi Dafei, can the Shen family accept her? Things that I dare not even think about.


    If you don¡¯t accept it, you don¡¯t know what will happen.


    No matter what, she must be the one who suffers and gets hurt in the end. Who made her low-status, but also a woman.


    They don¡¯t want to see her like this.


    The two sat for a while before going back to their rooms.


    The next day, the two set off for Wuling County.


    It was supposed to be a beautiful journey, but the two of them had something on their minds, so they didn¡¯t delay on the road. It only took ten days to return to Wuling County.


    Everyone in Wuling County has received the news that Gu Yanzhou won the first prize, and Xie Chen won the Jinshi.


    Mengzhi County is full of joy, and next year it will be time for the evaluation by the Ministry of Officials. He has been the county magistrate in Wuling County for eight years. Seeing that the people in Wuling County are getting richer and richer, this year, Wuling County is the first to solve the problems of the victims. The question is, his evaluation next year should be excellent.


    Promotion is possible, but not secure yet.


    It¡¯s different now, a small Wuling County has a number one scholar and a Jinshi at the same time, this is a model of the prosperity of culture and education. As the parent officer of Wuling County, he should have a good comment on education.


    Then his promotion will give him a little more confidence, how can he be unhappy.


    So the whole Wuling County became lively, and many colorful silks were hung on the street, welcoming Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen back to their hometown.


    The magistrate of Meng came to welcome him in person, and invited Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen to have dinner together.


    There is no need to elaborate on all the details. In the end, when Gu Yanzhou returned to the Gu family, the family was naturally overjoyed.


    Xie Chen went directly to Xishanju to find Xie Lian, and wanted to tell Xue Jing and Gu Qifeng Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s message by the way.


    He didn¡¯t know Gu Qifeng. When he left, Gu Qifeng hadn¡¯t come to live in the mountain yet.


    But he knew that there was such a person, Gu Yanzhou¡¯s cousin, he should have been there when he saw Gu Yanzhou off last time, and the two should have met, but they hadn¡¯t spoken to each other.


    It doesn¡¯t matter either.


    Xie Chen saw the signboard of Qishanju from a distance, and his mood was surging. At that time, he felt that the writing on the plaque was extremely vigorous, but he didn¡¯t expect it to be written by Shen Dudu.


    Who would have thought that the famous Governor Shen would live in a small restaurant for so long, and even write this plaque himself, and hang it outside every day.


    Xie Chen felt that Shen Fengming liked Jiang Yunzhu, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be like this.


    It¡¯s just that liking is not enough, just like him and Qin Yao, if Jiang Yunzhu hadn¡¯t conspired, Qin Yao would have married someone else.


    After thinking for a long time, he stepped into the Qishan residence.


    Everyone in Qishanju also got the news, and they were all happy for him.


    It¡¯s just that there was some worry hidden under the smiles of everyone, especially Xie Lian, when she saw Xie Chen, she threw herself into Xie Chen¡¯s arms and cried, but it wasn¡¯t the kind of crying of joy, as if she was worried about something.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Xie Chen asked Xie Lian.


    Xie Lian was able to speak now, and she asked Xie Chen intermittently, ¡°Brother, are you going to be an official? Can you help Gu Qifeng.¡± At this point, tears welled up in her eyes again.


    ¡°Gu Qifeng? What¡¯s wrong with him.¡± Xie Chen asked.


    Xie Lian hesitated, and in the end Xue Jing said, ¡°That kid doesn¡¯t know what to do, put¡­¡± He looked at Xie Chen, not knowing what to say.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Xie Chen asked.


    Everyone looks at me, I look at you, no one can tell.


    In the end, Xue Jing couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, and said, ¡°He beat Xie Yong half to death, and he was detained in prison.¡±


    Xie Yong¡­ Xie Chen thought that he would never hear this name again in his life, but he did not expect to hear it again today. No wonder these people are embarrassed to tell him, after all, Xie Yong is his father.


    Then why did Gu Qifeng beat Xie Yong?


    He glanced around, and his eyes finally fell on Xie Lian.


    ¡°A Lian, come with me.¡± Xie Chen called Xie Lian outside and asked her what was going on.


    Xie Lian didn¡¯t say anything at first, but later, Xie Chen said that if he didn¡¯t know the reason, he wouldn¡¯t be able to save Gu Qifeng.


    Xie Lian¡¯s body trembled and she almost fainted.


    Seeing this, Xie Chen couldn¡¯t bear to persecute her anymore, thinking of it for this reason.


    Xie Lian hugged her body tightly and slowly revealed the truth.


    After Gu Qifeng arrived at Qishanju, he got along with Xie Lian day and night, both of them were ignorant, at the age of the first love, not long after, Gu Qifeng developed a good impression of Xie Lian and took good care of her.


    A bright young man like him was born with a strange attraction to Xie Lian.


    She also likes his flying appearance, his smile, and his ways of making her happy, but she doesn¡¯t dare to like him.


    She is so dirty! A person like her doesn¡¯t deserve him to treat her so well, let alone him.


    Xie Lian has always been estranged from Gu Qifeng. Gu Qifeng has a flexible mind. From her occasional words and some things he inquired from Xie¡¯s neighbors, he guessed that Xie Lian doesn¡¯t like him, which seems to be related to Xie Yong.


    He didn¡¯t understand why, so he took the silver, ordered the jailer, and went to see Xie Yong in the prison.


    Xie Yong was going to spend his whole life in prison. He hated Xie Chen and Xie Lian so much, and seeing that Gu Qifeng might like Xie Lian, he wanted to make him feel bad, so he told him about it.


    When he said that, seeing Gu Qifeng¡¯s angry and distorted face slowly, he felt relieved.


    Gu Qifeng was furious, how dare he! He is Xie Lian¡¯s father.


    He scuffled with Xie Yong.


    He was pulled away by the jailer.


    Gu Qifeng left and re-entered the cell to visit the prison two days later, almost beating Xie Yong to death.


    This naturally violated the criminal law, so he was detained in prison.


    Xie Lian finally revealed the secret she had kept in her heart all along, she shrank into a ball, trembling all over, not daring to look at Xie Chen. She was afraid that he would think she was dirty, so she didn¡¯t want her anymore. Also, she was the one who harmed Gu Qifeng, so she should have died a long time ago!


    Under heavy pressure, Xie Lian fainted directly.


    ¡°A Lian!¡± Xie Chen hurriedly hugged Xie Lian and took her to the doctor.


    Along the way, his face was extremely hideous.


    He didn¡¯t expect that Xie Lian had suffered such torture. Looking back carefully, there were traces of everything, but he never found out. No wonder she couldn¡¯t speak suddenly, no wonder she was so afraid of Xie Yong¡­ It¡¯s hard to imagine how desperate and painful she must be when facing Xie Yong at home every day.


    And he, it is not as good as Gu Qifeng to find out about this matter first.


    Anger, guilt, regret¡­


    Xie Lian was fine, she just fainted, and she didn¡¯t want to wake up.


    Xie Chen took her home, stayed by her bedside, and sat there all night.


    That night, dark clouds covered the moon, and it was dark between the sky and the earth.


    The next day, when everyone saw Xie Chen again, they always felt that he was different from before. I can¡¯t say what¡¯s different, his appearance doesn¡¯t seem to have changed, but I feel that his occasional gloomy and stern look makes people tremble.


    Gu Qifeng is Gu Yanzhou¡¯s cousin. He did commit a crime by beating a prisoner, but what kind of crime he committed and how he should be sentenced, there is a lot of room for manipulation.


    Mengzhi County also knew that Xie Yong was not a good person. Out of various considerations, he only sentenced Gu Qifeng to one month¡¯s imprisonment, that is, one month¡¯s imprisonment.


    Three days later, Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen returned to Beijing. They were accompanied by Xue Jing, his wife Ruan Shi, and Xie Lian. As for Gu Qifeng, he won¡¯t be able to go to Beijing until he gets out of prison.


    Xie Lian stopped talking, and sat in the corner of the carriage every day.


    Gu Yanzhou asked Gu Qifeng why he beat Xie Yong, but Gu Qifeng didn¡¯t say anything. He guessed that it might have something to do with Xie Lian, but he only thought that Gu Qifeng hated Xie Yong for beating and scolding Xie Lian in the past. After all, most people would not dare to think about that kind of thing.


    Xie Chen didn¡¯t want to tell anyone about it, so everything seemed to be over.


    However, on the fifth night after they left, Xie Yong hanged himself.


    There are many people in the prison who can¡¯t stand the pain and commit suicide, so although there are some doubts about Xie Yong¡¯s suicide, no one cares at all. A straw mat wrapped his body and carried it out.

 Chapter 97

    When Shen Fengming returned to the Zhenfu Division, Yang Sheng immediately greeted him. In the past few days, he has been wanting to ask, what happened to him and Jiang Yunzhu? Afraid of affecting them, he has been afraid to see her, almost bored him to death.


    Shen Fengming told Jiang Yunzhu about hiring someone and his thoughts.


    ¡°Ms. Jiang is going to open a restaurant? When will it open?¡± Yang Sheng asked impatiently. Hearing Shen Fengming¡¯s words behind him, he thought of those who were forced to leave Qilin Guard, and his expression gradually became serious.


    Those people¡­ It¡¯s really a pity.


    ¡°You still think about them.¡± Yang Cheng looked at Shen Fengming and smiled. His boss, seemingly ruthless, is actually much better than those hypocritical people.


    Going to work in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s restaurant may be a chance for rebirth for those people.


    Shen Fengming looked at him with glacier-like eyes.


    Yang Sheng put away his smile awkwardly, but said, ¡°I don¡¯t know if those people will run out of court, otherwise, how about I go and watch them?¡±


    He had only spoken halfway, and Shen Fengming had already penetrated his mind. He wanted to go to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s for a meal, but he had to find a reason. Although those people have left Qilin Guard, they all know how to measure, can they still run in the hall?


    Yang Sheng smiled awkwardly, don¡¯t expose him!


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to hire six people, and Yang Sheng carefully considered the candidates.


    Afterwards, he went to the place where Zhenfu Division trained new recruits. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a gentle-looking man about to go out.


    When the man saw him, he showed a gentle smile and saluted, ¡°Master Deputy Commander.¡±


    Yang Sheng looked him up and down. Yun Du, twenty-three years old this year, don¡¯t look at him now, but when he picks up a knife, it¡¯s like a different person, extremely fierce.


    Especially when he sees someone hurting a child, he will become more violent.


    It was that case that had too much influence on him. Those scumbags¡­ Thinking of that case, Yang Sheng was also angry. Those beasts really deserve to be hacked into pieces.


    Speaking of Yundu, everyone knew that something was wrong with him, and he knew it too, so he had no choice but to retire.


    It¡¯s just that he has been in Qilin Guard since he was a child, and after leaving, the smile on his face has become more and more gentle, but the grayness in his eyes has become more and more gray.


    Yang Sheng stopped there and asked him, ¡°Do you want to find a job?¡±


    The smile on Yun Du¡¯s face slowly disappeared.


    ¡­


    Two days later, Jiang Yunzhu saw Shen Fengming, Yang Sheng, and six others.


    Two women and four men, two women, one in her twenties, with a national beauty, with a little coldness, and the other in her thirties, full of peach and plum, with a smile on her face.


    Four men, two in their twenties, both of them are very handsome, but their expressions are very contrasting, one smiles warmly, like the sun of three springs, and the other has a cold face, like nine ice.


    The remaining two men are about forty years old, one has a firm face and the other is thin.


    Yang Sheng introduced them one by one, ¡°Zheng Liniang, Jin Jiaoyue, Yundu, Zhang He, Zhan Changchuan, Wu Yu. Zhang He¡¯s cooking skills are not bad, and the rest of them are literate. question.¡±


    Not only is there no problem, they are all overkill. Jiang Yunzhu knew people, otherwise she wouldn¡¯t be able to take care of everything for Lin Ting¡¯an in her dream. She could tell at a glance that these people were all very extraordinary.


    She looked at Shen Fengming, is this really okay?


    Shen Fengming nodded, Yang Sheng had already asked them, and they were willing to come.


    The two of them just exchanged eyes briefly, but they caught everyone¡¯s attention.


    Yang Sheng was naturally overjoyed. The ten-thousand-year-old iron tree finally bloomed, and it didn¡¯t waste his hard work.


    Yun Du and the others felt awe-inspiring, this girl, and Governor Shen¡­ They seem to have discovered some big secret.


    They quietly looked at Jiang Yunzhu, and saw that her skin was like snow, powdered and crisped, just like the almond blossoms in spring. Such a girl is really a match for Dudu Shen in terms of appearance. If the two stand together, they must be as beautiful as a painting.


    It¡¯s just that someone like Dudu Shen¡­ It¡¯s hard to imagine how the two get along.


    Not to mention the huge waves in the hearts of a few people, Jiang Yunzhu looked at them and decided to speak clearly, ¡°Are you really willing to come and work in my shop? I need a chef, a shopkeeper, three waiters, and a handyman.


    In terms of salary, depending on the level of cooking skills of the chef, it is roughly between two taels and six taels. Of course, if the cooking skills are particularly good, we can discuss it later.


    The shopkeeper is about three or two per month.


    Waiters and odd jobs, one or two per month. ¡°This price was set by Jiang Yunzhu with reference to the prices and salary levels in the capital, so it¡¯s not too low.


    Six people nodded.


    It seems that it is really possible, Jiang Yunzhu looked at Zhang He, ¡°Do you know how to cook?¡±


    ¡°A little bit.¡± Zhang He said.


    Jiang Yunzhu asked him to go to the kitchen with him. The kitchen in this yard does not need to be redecorated, and there are some kitchen utensils left by Boss Pan in it. Zhang He¡¯s cooking skills are enough for a test.


    Zhang He still had a cold face, picked up a carrot and started to cook.


    Jiang Yunzhu was already used to Shen Fengming¡¯s coldness, and seemed to be somewhat immune to the coldness, so he didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with him being like this.


    Swipe, swipe, the shadow of the knife fluttered, and after a while, a radish was sliced into thin slices.


    The thin slices can almost transmit light, and each slice is the same size and thickness.


    Jiang Yunzhu knew that his knife skills had at least reached the peak. Even if his cooking skills were not very good, this knife skill alone was more than enough to help her and Xue Jing in the kitchen.


    At this time, Zhang He picked up the oil pan and began to fry the radish slices.


    Looking at his movements, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s eyes lit up. His cooking skills looked really good.


    ¡°Who did you learn from?¡± She asked in surprise, is there anyone in Qilinwei who teaches cooking?


    ¡°When I¡¯m fine, I practice by myself.¡± Zhang He answered briefly. In fact, many people in Qilinwei also have their own hobbies, and they will even madly do what they like to do to relax their bodies and minds.


    Zhang He likes to chop vegetables when he has nothing to do, cooking is second.


    Jiang Yunzhu had nothing to say.


    After a while, after a dish was fried, she tasted it, her face changed a few times, and then she asked Zhang He in a deliberate tone, ¡°Do you usually eat your own cooking?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t eat.¡± Zhang He said. He cooks a lot of dishes every time, where can he eat them.


    No wonder, ¡°Then what do you do with the dishes you usually cook?¡± Jiang Yunzhu was curious.


    ¡°I cook in the Qilinwei cafeteria, and they probably eat all the dishes I cook,¡± Zhang He said.


    Jiang Yunzhu seriously suspected that Qilin Wei was afraid of his cooking, so Yang Sheng sent him to her. His dish is too salty.


    ¡°Would you like to try this dish you made?¡± she suggested.


    Zhang He looked at her and frowned.


    Jiang Yunzhu handed him a pair of chopsticks. If he refused to taste it, forget it, she might not be able to hire him.


    Zhang He hesitated for a while, took the chopsticks, and put a piece of carrot into his mouth.


    Then Jiang Yunzhu saw that his indifferent face was showing a tendency to crack.


    It turned out to be a bit funny.


    Zhang He swallowed the piece of radish abruptly, his eyes were a little wandering, is his cooking so unpalatable? How has no one told him before.


    Who dares to tell him, his cold face is only a little better than Shen Dudu¡¯s.


    Besides, he was the one who saved everyone¡¯s lives in that surprise attack. He is such a hobby, so of course everyone is not good at attacking him.


    ¡°Do you want to make something delicious?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked. If he is willing to learn, it is actually worth cultivating. At least he has a good grasp of knife skills and fire.


    Zhang He nodded, he was willing to learn. Waiting for it to be delicious, let his brothers eat it, and it will be regarded as repaying their previous favor.


    It¡¯s okay, Jiang Yunzhu picked up a carrot and taught on the spot.


    ¡°Your knife skills are very good, but if you want to make a good dish, it is not enough to cut each slice into the same thickness. It depends on the condition of the vegetable or meat. For example, look at this radish, the part near the radish leaf, The meat will be a little harder, and it should be cut thinner than the bottom, so that it will be evenly fried.


    And¡­¡± Jiang Yunzhu said while doing it, her fingers were as light as butterflies, and her voice was like a clear spring in the mountains, which made people unconsciously attracted.


    Zhang He stood by and watched her busy, and his heart, which was depressed all day long, seemed to finally find peace.


    The sun came in from the window, and it was warm. He suddenly realized that there are so many ways to cook. Compared with Jiang Yunzhu, he didn¡¯t really like chopping and cooking vegetables in the past, but just diverted his attention and vented his emotions.


    Now, he felt that maybe, he could really study how to cook.


    The two of them were in the kitchen, one was serious about teaching and the other was serious about studying. From time to time, various noises came out. The few people outside were watching and listening, but there was a feeling of tranquility.


    Is this life? A small radish seems to have endless fun.


    They have held the knife for so long that they seem to have forgotten the feeling.


    Inexplicably, they want to try the dishes made by Jiang Yunzhu, it should be delicious!


    At this time, a cold light swept over, and several people were shocked. Well, I almost forgot, Dudu Shen is still there, so they probably don¡¯t have this dish.


    However, if they stay and work, will they be in the future?


    ¡°Am I treating you well?¡± Yang Sheng said angrily at this moment, he hadn¡¯t eaten the food made by Jiang Yunzhu yet, and he had missed it for a long time.


    Several people had different expressions, but they felt that it seemed to be good.


    In this way, several people stayed. Except for Zhang He as the chef, Jiang Yunzhu had to observe the rest of the people before deciding what to do.


    It just so happens that the store decoration is short of manpower, and they can also help.


    So Jiang Yunzhu made an agreement with them to try out the work for three days first, and then discuss with them the specific matters of hiring workers after three days.


    Suddenly there were so many people, and all of them were capable, Jiang Yunzhu instantly felt much more relaxed.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, when will the restaurant open?¡± Yang Sheng finally got the chance to talk to Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°I guess it will be half a month later.¡± Jiang Yunzhu replied.


    ¡°So long.¡± Yang Sheng¡¯s face twisted together.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled. She has been eating the food in the inn for so many days, but she is also tired of eating. Now that someone is helping with the work, she has time to cook.


    ¡°Do you want to have dinner together tonight?¡± She asked Yang Sheng.


    Yang Sheng nodded hastily.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at Shen Fengming again, ¡°Tonight, do you want to stay¡­¡± Looking at his darker eyes, she suddenly felt that this invitation seemed inappropriate.

 Chapter 98

    In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, just invite him to dinner.


    After a pause, Jiang Yunzhu continued, ¡°Tonight, do you want to stay and have dinner?¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Fengming agreed with a lingering voice.


    Zhang He and the others stayed behind, while Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng had something to do, so they left first.


    As soon as he went out, Yang Sheng asked Shen Fengming with a smile, ¡°You guys, aren¡¯t you?¡± He looked like I already knew it.


    ¡°She is different from us.¡± Shen Fengming said seriously.


    Yang Sheng smiled back, Jiang Yunzhu was indeed different from them, it could even be said that he was from two worlds with them.


    ¡°Then what are you going to do in the future?¡± Yang Sheng asked.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t want to talk to him any more, got on the horse and went back to Zhenfusi.


    ¡°Eh¡­¡± Yang Sheng paused, he hasn¡¯t finished asking, really.


    The shop and the yard are still being renovated. In the evening, Jiang Yunzhu is only going to cook some home-cooked dishes.


    In the evening, the decoration workers all left.


    Yundu and the others were also leaving, but before they left, they cleaned out an empty room and tidied up the yard. They can hear it, Jiang Yunzhu is going to cook and eat here tonight, what¡¯s wrong with the mess around.


    They are physically strong, which is not a problem for them at all.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt their hearts and began to like these employees.


    In the afternoon, He Ying went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. It was almost time now. Jiang Yunzhu washed her hands, drank some water, and started cooking.


    First steam the rice, then she starts chopping vegetables.


    After a while, the vegetables were cut, someone knocked on the door outside, and when the door opened, it was Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming.


    ¡°I brought you a bag of tea.¡± Yang Sheng said, and handed the tea in his hand to Jiang Yunzhu. Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s cooking was delicious, but the tea was not very good. He happened to get a new pack of tea, so he brought it over.


    Jiang Yunzhu knew that this bag of tea must be of great value, but she did not refuse his offer, and took the tea, ¡°It will be ready soon.¡± She said.


    ¡°No rush.¡± Yang Sheng smiled, he was just here for dinner, it¡¯s good that Jiang Yunzhu doesn¡¯t dislike him.


    The three of them entered the yard together, and Jiang Yunzhu continued to cook. After a while, the sound of cooking was heard, and the smell of food came out of the kitchen accompanied by a little smoke.


    Yang Sheng was overjoyed. Counting it, he hadn¡¯t eaten Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s food for half a year since the year before.


    I really miss the life in the courtyard of Changshi Village! Leisurely, comfortable, and delicious food every day, unlike now, tired as a dog.


    By the time Jiang Yunzhu was ready to cook, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng had already set up the tables, chairs, and even the dishes.


    She smiled, which was also the reason why she was willing to get along with them. Although they were sons of aristocratic families, they didn¡¯t have that superior feeling, which made people feel very comfortable.


    Four dishes and one soup, it¡¯s already early summer, all kinds of vegetables and fruits are on the market one after another, the weather is neither cold nor hot, it¡¯s just right to wear a thin shirt, this is Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s favorite season every year.


    One dish of sweet and sour pork ribs, one dish of multicolored beef tenderloin, one dish of mushroom broccoli, one dish of pearl tofu, and the last bowl of seaweed egg drop soup.


    It is delicious in color, fragrance, and taste. Although it is just an ordinary home-cooked dish, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s craftsmanship is good, and it also makes a different feeling.


    Yang Sheng tasted the sweet and sour pork ribs with a chopstick, and sighed that it was delicious.


    Then he was like a person who has been hungry for three or four days, and started to eat with big mouthfuls.


    Sometimes people are very strange. The same meal may not be felt when eaten by one person, but there is another person who eats so sweetly next to it. Even if you are slow, you may not be able to grab the dish. Immediately, you will feel the dish It tasted a lot better.


    Before he knew it, Jiang Yunzhu also ate a lot of food.


    Yang Sheng leaned directly on the chair. Originally, he still wanted to have a sip of tea, but now, there is no room in his stomach.


    After eating and drinking enough, the three chatted.


    In a few days it will be the Dragon Boat Festival, and the capital will definitely be very lively by then¡­


    Jiang Yunzhu also ate a little stuffed, propped her head on her hands, and leaned back in the chair.


    At this moment, her brows and eyes were slightly drooping, and she answered softly from time to time. She was not as radiant as she was during the day, but she was as soft and gentle as water.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s gaze fell on her, like ice meeting water, slowly softening.


    The night was like water, Jiang Yunzhu got up to serve tea, when he came back, Yang Sheng had already disappeared.


    ¡°What about people?¡± she asked.


    Shen Fengming was returning from the door, ¡°It¡¯s getting late, he went back first.¡±


    It was getting late, so she said, ¡°Master Shen, should you leave too?¡± But at this moment, Shen Fengming had already walked up to her, and her tall figure completely enveloped her.


    Jiang Yunzhu wisely stopped calling him that.


    She handed him the teapot in her hand, separating the two of them.


    Of course Shen Fengming knew about her thoughts, he took the teapot and looked down at her.


    His eyes were bright, and he almost completely imprisoned her in that world.


    He was very close to her, it seemed that if he lowered his head, he could touch her lips.


    It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t do that, he just looked at her like that.


    He¡¯s not waiting for her to kiss him, is he? This idea flashed across Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s mind inexplicably, it was funny and a little annoyed at the same time.


    ¡°I¡¯m going back to the inn,¡± she said. Now that the decoration is not finished here, she still has to go back to the inn to live.


    Shen Fengming frowned.


    Did he really wait for her to kiss him?


    Jiang Yunzhu shouted, ¡°He Ying, sixteen, back to the inn.¡±


    He Ying and Shiliu came out from behind and looked at each other.


    With someone else, Jiang Yunzhu became much more courageous, and escaped from his shadow, and then said, ¡°Master Shen, it¡¯s getting late, I¡¯m going back to the inn, you should go back and rest early.¡±


    When she said this, there was a gleam in her eyes.


    Seeing this, Shen Fengming smiled, and his voice returned to the previous Qingyue, ¡°I¡¯ll take you back.¡±


    With the help of Yundu and the others, the renovation of the shop was carried out in an orderly manner, even faster than Jiang Yunzhu expected.


    After more than half a month passed, the shop was finally almost renovated.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked around and was still very satisfied. The decoration effect was similar to what she had imagined.


    Yundu and the others were very surprised, this is, a restaurant? Why does it feel completely different from ordinary restaurants?


    There is an advantage in ancient times. The things used for decoration are harmless, even the paint is natural, and there is no need to worry about any harmful gas. Therefore, after the decoration of the shop, it only needs to dissipate the smell for a few days before you can move in.


    On this day, Jiang Yunzhu was going to move to the backyard of the store, and always lived in the inn, which was really inconvenient for such a big place.


    On this day, Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen came back from Wuling County, bringing Xue Jing, Ruan Shi, and Xie Lian.


    ¡°Boss.¡± Xue Jing shouted excitedly when he saw Jiang Yunzhu.


    He felt that the most correct decision he made in his life was to accept Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s employment. It turned out that what he thought was that one day Jiang Yunzhu could go to Luzhou to open a restaurant, and he could follow the trend. Unexpectedly, he still underestimated his boss, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s restaurant, directly opened to the capital.


    Even he followed into Beijing.


    Sure enough, the capital is full of wealth and wealth, and he can¡¯t wait to do a big job here.


    When Jiang Yunzhu saw him, he also felt kind.


    Everyone chatted, and Gu Yanzhou talked about what happened when he and Xie Chen returned to Wuling County.


    Qishanju Lihe is well taken care of, Jiang Yunzhu can rest assured. It¡¯s just that Gu Qifeng is afraid that he will have to wait a month before he can go to Beijing.


    Jiang Yunzhu asked the reason.


    Gu Yanzhou only said that he beat Xie Yong and was sentenced to one month in prison. As for the reason, he did not elaborate.


    Jiang Yunzhu found that when he said this, he seemed to glance at Xie Lian. She also noticed Xie Lian.


    Xie Lian seemed to have become silent again.


    What exactly is going on? She looked at Xue Jing, he has been in Wuling County, maybe he knows something.


    In fact, Xue Jing didn¡¯t know very well, and while no one was paying attention, he quietly made a gesture with Jiang Yunzhu.


    After spending so long with him, Jiang Yunzhu immediately understood what he meant. Gu Qifeng and Xie Lian¡­Jiang Yunzhu suddenly thought of that incident, and then everything seemed to be connected.


    Gu Qifeng liked Xie Lian, and when he found out about that, he naturally hated Xie Yong.


    Thinking of this, Jiang Yunzhu looked at Xie Chen, did he know about this?


    She didn¡¯t pay attention to it just now, but now, when she looked at Xie Chen carefully, she found that he seemed to be different from before. In the past, he was restrained by Xie Yong, and he often frowned, looking preoccupied. Later, when Xie Yong went to prison, Xie Lian was able to speak, and his brows relaxed.


    Now, his brows are stretched, but there is something hidden in his eyes.


    What is hiding? Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t tell the difference, so she gave up.


    That incident must have hit him hard. She only hoped that he would be fine.


    ¡°If you need any help, you can tell me.¡± She only said this seemingly casually.


    Xie Chen seemed to be touched, he looked at Xie Lian.


    But, in the end, he still didn¡¯t say anything.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t continue talking. There are some things that are not good if they are broken.


    After talking about Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen, they talked about Jiang Yunzhu.


    Hearing that Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s shop has been renovated, everyone will naturally go to have a look.


    Walking along the street to the end of the street, you first see a pool of clear water with a few white lotuses floating in the dark fragrance. Compared with Fenhe, this white lotus is like jade and snow, more elegant and eye-catching.


    Just like the shop at the back, it doesn¡¯t have the philistine atmosphere of an ordinary restaurant at all, it looks like a private pavilion of a wealthy family.


    ¡°I want to open a private restaurant.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Then she explained the meaning of the private restaurant a little bit, and everyone looked at this restaurant again, and they didn¡¯t feel that way.


    Private restaurant, there is no such restaurant in this era, Jiang Yunzhu is the first one, everyone thinks it is novel and interesting, and they are full of praise.


    After watching the restaurant, everyone chatted for a while, Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen took Xie Lian to leave, and Jiang Yunzhu took Xue Jing to meet Zhang He and the others.


    Xue Jing didn¡¯t know the identities of Zhang He and others, but thought they were ordinary people hired by Jiang Yunzhu. Although he was surprised that these people seemed to have a personality, he didn¡¯t think much about it.


    Everyone seems to be getting along fairly well?


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at these seven people, and then looked at his newly renovated shop, thinking that he could pick a time to open it.

 Chapter 99

    The next day, the Ministry of Officials issued a list of those who passed the scientific examination, and Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen were on the list.


    Gu Yanzhou, the number one scholar, served as an attendant of the Imperial Academy.


    The number one scholar in previous years also entered the Hanlin Academy, and was generally appointed as the editor of the Imperial Academy. This is an official position from the sixth rank, while the servant of the Imperial Academy is from the fifth rank, which is promoted to one level.


    Moreover, the Hanlin Academy of the Xia Dynasty was a very important department. Almost all cabinet officials went out from here, and entered here, which can be said to have a bright future.


    Xie Chen, he is a Jinshi and was appointed as the recorder of the Jingzhao Mansion. This is an official from the eighth rank, and his official position is not high, but Jingzhao Mansion is a great place. It is in charge of various affairs inside and outside the capital. It is probably similar to the modern city government and has real power.


    Most of the other candidates who won the examination were also appointed to fairly good official positions. It can be seen that the previous rumors were not groundless. The emperor really wanted to make an exception to appoint the candidates who were selected this time.


    In front of the two people, there was a crowd of people for a while.


    Later, Xie Chen found Gu Yanzhou. The scientific examinations at this time were not like later ones, where they only examined stereotyped essays, but also examined policy theory, etc. The two of them were the best among them, and of course they had an understanding of the situation in the imperial court.


    They knew why the emperor made an exception in appointing the candidates who won the exam. Now the ruling princeling party and the sixth princeling party each accounted for half of the country, and the party disputes were fierce.


    Appointing these candidates with no family background may alleviate this situation.


    Just really can?


    These days, the princelings and the six princelings have also shifted the focus of their struggle to these candidates, wooing and buying them, so to speak.


    Now these people seem to be disciples of the emperor, but if they are not guaranteed, they will quietly join the prince or the sixth prince.


    The emperor made an exception to appoint them, and he was likely to shoot himself in the foot.


    Is there no loyal person who is dedicated to the emperor?


    Yes, but it¡¯s too difficult. As an official in the court, it is inevitable to deal with superiors, subordinates, and colleagues. If the people in your department are all princelings, and you are loyal to the emperor alone, it may not take long before you will be pushed out.


    And the emperor, it is impossible to abolish the entire department because of you alone.


    The powers of the crown prince and the sixth prince are intertwined, and it is extremely difficult to stand in the middle. For these candidates, choosing a faction to join is the best choice. Xie Chen believes that most candidates will do this.


    So the question is, which force to choose? If you choose the right one, you will rise to the top of the sky; if you choose the wrong one, you will have to kill everyone in the future.


    These days, there are not a few people who come to see Xie Chen and Gu Yanzhou, so Xie Chen wants to ask Gu Yanzhou what he thinks.


    ¡°Partisanship has been a problem for a long time, and if things go on like this¡­¡± Gu Yanzhou frowned, he didn¡¯t want to join any force, he just wanted to serve the court and do things for the people.


    ¡°But this problem is not something you and I can solve. The court, even the emperor, is like a mirror in their hearts, but how to solve it?¡± Xie Chen said.


    ¡°Use the method of thunder to settle everything.¡± Gu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chen looked at Gu Yanzhou in surprise, he didn¡¯t expect him to say such words when he usually looked at someone like Lang Yue. The method of thunder is to flow blood into rivers. Can the emperor make that determination? That will be recorded in the history books, leaving infamy.


    What¡¯s more, even if he really decides to do that, can it be done? If it can¡¯t be done, there will be chaos in Chaolideng. Now there are still Xirong and Beidi staring at each other outside, and if there is another civil strife inside, maybe the mountains and rivers will be broken, the country will be destroyed and the family will perish.


    The emperor shouldn¡¯t have favored Concubine Wu in the early days and let the sixth prince grow up.


    It¡¯s just that it¡¯s too late to say these things now.


    It is estimated that the emperor also regrets it now, but it is difficult to ride a tiger.


    Of course, the emperor has another choice, which is relatively simple, and that is to favor one side and get rid of the other. It¡¯s just that after the other side¡¯s power is eliminated, the remaining power will grow bigger, and the emperor may not be able to rest easy by then.


    This is also the reason why this matter has not been resolved for so many years.


    ¡°What do you think?¡± Gu Yanzhou asked Xie Chen.


    Coincidentally, Xie Chen thought the same as him, but this road was the most difficult. But if it is made, it will definitely change the world and rejuvenate the game.


    It¡¯s just the two of them, one has no background and the other has no connections, how can they do this.


    At this time, Xie Chen got up and went to the door of the room to check out. There was no one outside. He closed the door, checked the windows and other places, and then returned to the table, whispering to Gu Yanzhou, ¡°I have I want to discuss an idea with you.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Gu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chen didn¡¯t speak, but dipped his index finger in the tea, quickly wrote two words on the table, and then immediately wiped it off with his hand, so as not to let the third person know.


    Gu Yanzhou looked at him in surprise.


    ¡°Those who make big things don¡¯t care about small things.¡± Xie Chen¡¯s eyes flashed cruelty, and then quickly disappeared. He didn¡¯t want to be passive defensive anymore. That would only make him suffer and regret. If he should stop, he would have to stop.


    On June 2, it is appropriate to open.


    On this day, firecrackers were set off, the lion dance team was invited, and there was a lot of noise. Jiang Yunzhu went up and tore off the red silk on the plaque, and the time private restaurant officially opened.


    Time, at first glance, is a bit strange, but in fact, it is a homonym for ¡°eating light¡±. Jiang Yunzhu hopes that everyone will like the dishes she cooks and can eat them up every time.


    Moreover, there is another meaning, this restaurant seems to have traveled through time, allowing everyone to meet the delicacies of various eras that have disappeared and have not yet appeared.


    At the same time, it was about Jiang Yunzhu herself.


    Of course, she didn¡¯t tell everyone about the latter two meanings.


    The name of the private restaurant is already very strange, but with the addition of the word time, everyone is no stranger to it.


    It¡¯s just, why no guests come to the door?


    Xue Jing looked around.


    Just now there were firecrackers and lion dances here, and there were indeed a few people on the street over there to watch the excitement, but they saw that the name of the restaurant was strange, and the storefront didn¡¯t look like a restaurant, so no one came in.


    ¡°Boss, this¡­¡± Xue Jing was in a hurry. Could it be that the huge capital city is not even as good as Wuling County? I think they opened in Wuling County, and the customers are like a cloud.


    In Wuling County, Qishanju opened. Gu Yanzhou brought his friends, and Li Biaotou brought his bodyguards to support the scene. Moreover, the customers of Qishanju were students from the academy opposite. They made a fuss and attracted people. Naturally, guests came to the door. .


    But it¡¯s different here, this street is not a street at all, and their restaurant is at the end of the street, so it would be nice to come to these few to watch the excitement.


    As for the people Jiang Yunzhu knew, Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen came, but they didn¡¯t have any close friends in the capital, and they were officials, and some things were easily involved, so they didn¡¯t invite anyone to come.


    Shen Fengming, Yang Sheng, and Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t dare to let them invite someone.


    The rest of her didn¡¯t know anyone else, that¡¯s why she was so deserted.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, otherwise I¡¯ll help you recommend it to others.¡± Gu Yanzhou said, he didn¡¯t expect that today would be like this, he regretted it, or he should have invited some people over.


    ¡°No, in fact, I thought it would be like this.¡± Jiang Yunzhu was not in a hurry. The customers of her restaurant are wealthy businessmen and tycoons, and those people don¡¯t often walk on the street, relying on firecrackers and lion dances, how can they attract them.


    ¡°Really don¡¯t need it?¡± Xie Chen also asked.


    ¡°Really.¡± Jiang Yunzhu had been prepared for a long time, she entered the store, took some invitations and handed a piece of paper to Jin Jiaoyue, ¡°Please send these invitations to those people¡¯s homes according to the list on the paper, and say , in the future, no matter who comes to the door with this invitation card, our restaurant will sweep the couch to welcome you.¡±


    After so many days of getting along, Jiang Yunzhu has roughly figured out the personalities of Jin Jiaoyue and the six of them, and it is most suitable for her to handle this matter.


    Jin Jiaoyue took those invitation cards, and saw that these invitation cards were very beautifully made, with the gold-plated skin carved out to look like a lotus flower. Open it, there is a short invitation written inside, the name of the restaurant below it, and some menus are attached.


    With just one glance, she was attracted by the menu.


    ¡°Yangfang Zangyu, Song Sao¡¯s Fish Soup, Shili Ginkgo, Taibai Duck, Chicken in Clear Soup, Luoyang Yancai¡­¡± Some of these dishes she knows, some she doesn¡¯t know, but she knows a few of them, it¡¯s really good Great reputation, some even lost, this, Jiang Yunzhu can really do it?


    She has always been calm, thinking so in her heart, but she didn¡¯t show it at all, and she still had a smile on her face.


    After weighing it for a moment, she felt that it was really possible. Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t seem to be the kind of person who played tricks.


    Well, it¡¯s interesting¡­


    She continued to look down at the invitation, but found that the invitee¡¯s name was not written on the invitation.


    Think again of what Jiang Yunzhu said just now, ¡°In the future, no matter who comes to the door with this invitation card, our restaurant will sweep the couch to welcome you.¡± She seemed to have discovered something interesting.


    This invitation is sent out, and most people will definitely not take it seriously.


    But what if the restaurant catches fire one day? Did she remember that Jiang Yunzhu said that this private restaurant only accepts a fixed number of people every day, what about those who can¡¯t get in?


    At that time, they are afraid that they will search for this post all over the world.


    Jin Jiaoyue found it interesting thinking about it, and immediately said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, boss, I will definitely handle it well.¡±


    She usually has a smile on her face, but now, that smile seems to be more charming.


    Jiang Yunzhu nodded, private restaurants don¡¯t need to publicize, they mainly rely on word of mouth. If you send out these invitations and cast your net widely, you will definitely catch one or two fish. When those one or two fish, no, they are guests, come, taste the dishes she cooks, and slowly spread the reputation, she will not worry about having no guests.


    So, wait!


    Jiang Yunzhu asked Wu Yu to clean the door of the store, then turned around and entered the store by herself. She still had a lot of things to do.


    ¡°Give me a post.¡± Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng also came today, and Yang Sheng immediately had an idea when he saw Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s post. He was worrying about how to introduce his old lady to the store for dinner, and now he is fine.


    In the evening, when Yang Sheng came home, he handed the post to Mrs. Yang, ¡°Mother, don¡¯t you say it every day, and your mouth has no taste? There is a new restaurant here, why don¡¯t you go and try it?¡±

 Chapter 100

    Mrs. Yang glared at him, knowing that she wanted to eat the sausages and snacks from last year, but he didn¡¯t get them for her, but asked her to go to some restaurant. Is there anyone who treats her like a son?


    Yang Sheng put down the post and hurried away, he was really scared of his mother.


    Mrs. Yang wanted to chase, but failed.


    After returning, her eyes fell on the invitation card.


    At the same time, Jin Jiaoyue was sending out invitations everywhere.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s list was bought from Yaren, and it contained the surnames and addresses of most wealthy businessmen in Wenxianfang.


    Jin Jiaoyue didn¡¯t pick any, and started delivering from the nearest household.


    The family¡¯s surname was Lian, and they seemed to be in the jade business. They were a wealthy family, and they were extremely ornately decorated. There were four strong servants in front of the door.


    Seeing this, ordinary people might feel fear in their hearts, but Jin Jiaoyue didn¡¯t feel it at all, she stepped forward with a smile on her face.


    She was beautiful and possessed a kind of grace, and the servants did not dare to underestimate her.


    She took out the post and explained her purpose.


    After the servants heard this, their expressions were strange. A newly opened restaurant didn¡¯t know their master, so they dared to post a post to their master? What do they think. Their master is a well-known wealthy businessman.


    Are they crazy about making money?


    If everyone is like this, their master is going to be busy to death.


    Jin Jiaoyue ignored them, ¡°The post has been delivered, and our shop owner said that no matter who comes to the shop with this post, our restaurant will sweep the couch and greet them.¡± After saying this, she walked away .


    A few servants were left looking at each other.


    ¡­


    She delivered the post very quickly, and everyone reacted to it differently.


    Some people felt that she was whimsical and threw the post aside, while others did not dare to make decisions without authorization and presented the post to their masters.


    Those masters who saw the post, some were attracted by the menu on the post, and some laughed out loud, thinking that the owner of the Shiguang private restaurant was showing off mysteries, not to mention anything else, just Mrs. Song¡¯s fish soup, there was no one who passed it on, everyone It is to imitate Mrs. Song¡¯s method of making fish soup, but because the method is not authentic, no one dares to call it this name.


    It¡¯s not a lie that she hangs out this name so brightly.


    Probably nothing real.


    How dare you send posts to their homes? I really don¡¯t know what shame is.


    At this time, Jin Jiaoyue came to the door of a wealthy businessman named Jing again. She took out a post and handed it to the guard at the door. While talking to them, a young man came out from inside.


    The young man was wearing a plum-dyed brocade robe, only about twenty years old, squinting at Jin Jiaoyue, a little foolish.


    When he heard Jin Jiaoyue say ¡°sweep the couch to welcome you¡±, he chuckled, ¡°I don¡¯t know what the owner of the store looks like? If he looks like a fairy, I¡¯d like to give it a try.¡± As he spoke, he swept the gold Jiaoyue glanced at her, ¡°Madam is pretty¡­¡±


    The teasing meaning in his words was too obvious, a cold light flashed in Jin Jiaoyue¡¯s eyes, if he said one more word, she would make him never be a man.


    Jing Chengyan inexplicably felt a coldness at the base of his neck, he moved his body to relieve the feeling.


    Sure enough, I feel better.


    Looking at Jin Jiaoyue again, he was a little ashamed and had an indescribable feeling. Maybe it¡¯s because he often gets into trouble. He has a special ability to sense a little danger, and he is very superstitious about this feeling.


    Now his feelings tell him that it¡¯s best not to mess with the woman opposite.


    This is very unreasonable, the woman opposite is at most a restaurant runner, and he can call dozens of family members at any time at his door, what are you afraid of her?


    But Jing Chengyan decided to keep his mouth shut.


    Seeing this, Jin Jiaoyue let him go, turned and left.


    When she left, Jing Chengyan felt his breath held in his chest, feeling resentful. At this time, he saw the post in the servant¡¯s hand, and said with a dark face, ¡°Bring it here for me to read.¡±


    The servant didn¡¯t dare to provoke him, so he respectfully handed him the post.


    Jing Chengyan looked at it, ¡°It¡¯s a big tone, okay, I¡¯ll go and see tomorrow, what did I make.¡± Then he ordered the people behind him, ¡°Call Chef Shang Han together tomorrow, if they don¡¯t do well, We just smashed his shop.¡±


    ¡°Yes, son.¡± The servant replied.


    Jing Chengyan went out to do errands, and he just waited to go to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s store to make trouble tomorrow.


    Jin Jiaoyue left Jing¡¯s house and went to Du¡¯s house in the next street.


    Du¡¯s house happened to have guests there, but the servant didn¡¯t know it, so he took the post and went in, only to find out that something was wrong, immediately apologized, and then wanted to leave.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Master Du asked.


    The servant submitted the post.


    Master Du took the post and smiled.


    ¡°Brother Du, why are you laughing?¡± Master Luo asked next to him.


    ¡°Just look at it.¡± Master Du said, and handed the post to Master Luo.


    Master Luo took it over, and after reading it, he also smiled.


    The two didn¡¯t pay attention to this matter, but remembered an event that happened two days ago, ¡°Speaking of cooking, the Bai family clearly made it difficult for us on purpose.¡± Boss Luo said.


    As Jiang Yunzhu knew before, there has always been a tendency of comparing each other among the wealthy businessmen in the capital. The Bai family is a well-established wealthy businessman in the capital. There are three famous chefs and dozens of beautiful Ji people in the family. Master Du and Master Luo are new wealthy businessmen.


    Good chefs are even rarer than young and beautiful Jiren and priceless treasures. They are basically invisible from the outside. Even if it costs money, it is difficult to hire.


    This is the background, and it is also the face of many wealthy businessmen.


    Two days ago, the Bai family hosted a banquet for everyone. The special dishes made by the three famous chefs won unanimous praise from everyone, and the Bai family also stole the limelight. On the other hand, Master Du and Master Luo are a little bleak.


    In particular, after eating the Bai family¡¯s banquet, it stands to reason that they should also find time to invite them back. Master Bai also specifically mentioned this matter during the banquet, saying that he was looking forward to the good food from the Du family and the Luo family. This is not an expectation, it is clearly embarrassing them, how can the two of them not be depressed.


    ¡°Who made us inferior to him.¡± Boss Du sighed.


    Boss Luo also followed suit.


    The two were silent for a while, and Boss Luo suddenly looked at the post.


    ¡°Brother Luo?¡± Boss Du asked.


    ¡°Anyway, if we¡¯re idle, we¡¯re idle. What if¡­¡± At this point, Boss Luo couldn¡¯t continue. What¡¯s the matter, they¡¯d better find a good chef as soon as possible.


    On the first day of opening of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s private restaurant, there was not a single customer, which was considered a precedent.


    Xue Jing was milling around in the backyard, making him idle was more uncomfortable than keeping him busy.


    Yun Du and the others were very calm, and they did whatever they had to do.


    Jiang Yunzhu was playing with Simba in the yard. Early summer was just the right time, so if you don¡¯t enjoy it, it will be uncomfortable when the weather is hot.


    The next morning, she decided to go to the vegetable market in person to choose the vegetables to be used today.


    Since coming to the capital, she has been busy, and she has never been to the vegetable market.


    In fact, she likes to go to the vegetable market the most. The vegetable market in the capital is really not comparable to other places. Fresh sea bass, the scales are shining in the water, the cucumbers just picked in the morning, with dew on the top, even seafood, the lively prawns¡­


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s index finger moved wildly, wanting to eat whatever he saw.


    However, the new store opened and there were no customers, so she only picked some ingredients to take home.


    If there are customers, cook it for them, if not, keep it for the people in the store, anyway, it will not be wasted.


    Seeing that it was noon, it was very rare that a person entered the store.


    Yun Du went over to greet him, but Jiang Yunzhu shook his head.


    The man was a passing scholar, saw that Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s restaurant was very elegantly decorated and had a special name, so he came in to have a look.


    It¡¯s just that after he looked at today¡¯s menu, his expression changed.


    The cheapest dish, that is Xuexia Geng, actually costs a tael of silver?


    For a tael of silver, he could eat half a table of banquets elsewhere, and there are fish and meat.


    He finally knew why no one came to this shop, it was a black shop at all.


    ¡°Too much deceit!¡± He threw the menu on the table and said angrily.


    As long as Yundu doesn¡¯t hold a knife, he has a good temper and a warm smile.


    His reaction made the scholar feel ashamed. He came in by himself, and no one forced him to buy it. It seems a little too much for him to say that now.


    The scholar blushed, and wanted to sit down and order two dishes, but in the end, he still didn¡¯t make trouble with his wallet, and left embarrassingly.


    ¡°Boss, is our dish really expensive?¡± Xue Jing asked Jiang Yunzhu tentatively.


    I think they are in Wuling County, a plate of dishes is only a dozen to dozens of renminbi, and there is even a plate of mapo tofu for a few renminbi. Now in the capital, even if the price increases, it will increase too much.


    For example, the clear soup is more chicken, and a dish costs dozens of taels?


    This, who will eat it!


    ¡°In the future, some people may think that we sell too cheaply.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Xue Jing doesn¡¯t understand, there are people who think it¡¯s cheap to buy things?


    At this time, a carriage stopped outside, and a woman in her thirties, a boy in her teens, and a girl of eight or nine got out of it.


    Behind the three, followed by two servants.


    ¡°Mother, the name of this restaurant is so strange.¡± The boy looked at the signboard of the restaurant and said to the woman.


    ¡°Mother, I¡¯m hungry!¡± The little girl said while holding the woman¡¯s hand.


    ¡°If it doesn¡¯t taste good, let¡¯s see how I teach your brother when I go back.¡± The woman said.


    After speaking, she led the boy and the little girl into the restaurant.


    This woman is Yang Sheng¡¯s mother, Mrs. Yang. She also had doubts about the menu on that post, but she still believed in her son. It happened that he was fine today, so she decided to take a look.


    As soon as they entered, Jiang Yunzhu smiled. She didn¡¯t know Mrs. Yang, but she knew from her attire, ¡°Our business is here.¡±


    Xue Jing immediately regained his spirits, really?


    Yun Du went over to greet Mrs. Yang and the three of them to sit down, and then showed them today¡¯s menu.


    At this moment, Jing Chengyan came outside with a chunky chef and seven or eight evil slaves. He came here today to find fault.


    Zheng Liniang greeted him and asked him to go upstairs.


    Soon, someone came again. It was Boss Luo. He was going to the east of the city today for business. On the way back, he suddenly remembered this restaurant and decided to come and have a look.

 Chapter 101

    Today¡¯s menu, Lotus Pond Fish Buns, Soup Yuxiu Balls, Furong Drool Chicken¡­Xuexia Soup and Songsao Fish Soup, cold dishes, hot dishes plus soup, a total of ten dishes.


    Mrs. Yang thought there was more at the back of the menu, but when she turned it over, the back was empty. So, a restaurant that only sells ten dishes?


    Yun Du seemed to see her doubts, and explained, ¡°The boss decides what dishes to serve in our shop every day, and we only cook these ten dishes today.¡±


    It was the first time she saw such a restaurant, Madam Yang was surprised, but she didn¡¯t say anything and started to order.


    First of all, she ordered Mrs. Song¡¯s fish soup, mainly because of its great reputation. For the rest, the names of these dishes were almost unknown. Some of them could guess what the dish was by looking at the names of the dishes, and some couldn¡¯t guess at all, so she simply ordered a few dishes at random.


    At this time Jing Chengyan also entered the box, and as soon as he entered, he felt a difference.


    This private room is elegant and luxurious, spacious and comfortable, not like a private room in a restaurant, but a bit like someone¡¯s dining room. YouQi waited for him to sit down, the carved wooden chair had a cushion that was neither too soft nor too hard, so it fit so well that it just supported his waist.


    Leaning on the chair, he felt a lot of comfort. Thinking about whether to get some cushions like this in my own home later.


    In fact, it¡¯s not just the cushions, the box, the things that are in sight, whether it¡¯s the paintings on the wall, the flower pots next to it, or even the table in front of you, all make people feel pleasing to the eye and leisurely.


    In stark contrast to this box, it was the chunky Chef Han he brought along, and the seven or eight evil slaves. They are disheveled, rough clothes, deer-headed mouse eyes, just like a few mice falling into a flower bouquet, it is so disturbing to watch.


    I didn¡¯t think they were so disgusting before.


    ¡°You all go out and wait for me.¡± Those evil slaves still wanted to fiddle with the things in the box, but Jing Chengyan couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and ordered.


    Those evil slaves couldn¡¯t react a bit, didn¡¯t they come to make trouble, what¡¯s the matter if the young master asked them to go out?


    ¡°Get out!¡± Jing Chengyan shouted. When I see them, I feel ashamed. Don¡¯t they usually look in the mirror? In this way, dare to go out.


    A few evil slaves left the box with drooping eyebrows.


    ¡°My lord, I¡­¡± Chef Han said with a flattering smile.


    He was already fat, and when he smiled like this, his eyebrows and eyes were squeezed together, giving him a somewhat wretched look.


    ¡°You go out too.¡± Jing Chengyan said in disgust.


    The smile on Chef Han¡¯s face froze, he stood up, and walked out of the box step by step.


    The private room became clear, and Zheng Liniang stepped forward and handed the menu to Jing Chengyan.


    Zheng Liniang was beautiful, with a sense of indifference, standing in this box, handing over the menu¡­beauties, beautiful utensils, Jing Chengyan finally felt that this felt right.


    He suddenly looked forward to the dishes made by this restaurant, wondering if they were delicacies.


    If it¡¯s gourmet¡­


    If not, he must demolish the shop.


    He looked at the menu, only to find that there were only ten dishes on it. He turned over the menu in disbelief, and there was nothing on the back, there were really only ten dishes.


    ¡°What about Yang Fang Tibetan Fish and Taibai Duck?¡± He asked with suppressed anger.


    ¡°The owner¡¯s rule is that she can serve whatever dish she wants today.¡± Zheng Liniang¡¯s voice was also a little cold, but it was like gold and jade colliding, very nice.


    Jing Chengyan was almost laughed out of anger, what kind of shopkeeper is this, he is so arrogant.


    Immediately, he was about to flip the table and make a fuss.


    But when he saw the beauty next to him, he still decided to wait for the food to come and if it was not tasty, he would take pity on it if he picked it up again.


    He didn¡¯t look at the menu anymore, ¡°I¡¯ll serve them all.¡± There were only ten dishes, the Jing family was rich, and he ate more dishes than this at any meal at home.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Zheng Liniang took the menu and went out, her skirt fluttering.


    Jing Chengyan sat there and waited.


    At this time, next door to him, Boss Luo also looked at the furnishings in the box, secretly surprised, this room is so exquisitely furnished, but he doesn¡¯t know who made it. Maybe this store can really surprise him?


    He sat down, and Zhan Changchuan handed over the menu.


    There were only ten dishes, Boss Luo looked at them and ordered the four most interesting.


    After ordering in the front, the back immediately became busy.


    This was the first business deal for their new store, and Jiang Yunzhu also showed her full skills, cooking all the dishes by herself, and Xue Jing and Zhang Hequan helped her.


    After a while, one dish after another was ready and brought out.


    Mrs. Yang¡¯s dishes came first, and she ordered five dishes, soup Yuxiu balls, Furong saliva chicken, three delicacies dragon and phoenix balls, milk white almonds, and Mrs. Song¡¯s fish soup.


    Tangyu Xiuwan, a thin white porcelain cup, there is a bright clear soup, in the clear soup, a ball the size of a child¡¯s fist rolled in it. The meatballs are yellow and pink, really like a hydrangea.


    Mrs. Yang had eaten lion head in clear soup, which is a famous dish in Huaiyang, but she didn¡¯t know what this soup Yuxiu Wan had to do with it.


    If there are well-educated people here at this time, they should recognize that this soup Yuxiu ball is a famous dish in the ancient book ¡°Shaowei Banquet List¡±, which appeared earlier than the clear soup lion head.


    Mrs. Yang was still looking at these dishes, but the boy and girl next to her couldn¡¯t help it. This dish is so delicious!


    ¡°Mother, eat.¡± The little girl urged Mrs. Yang.


    ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± Mrs. Yang said with a smile.


    The boy and the little girl were waiting for her words, and immediately picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes they wanted to eat.


    The boy picked up a piece of hibiscus saliva chicken. Last year, Yang Sheng asked people to send back a lot of spicy braised food, including boneless duck feet, pig tails, etc. He fell in love with it as soon as he ate it, but unfortunately he finished it later. Yang Sheng didn¡¯t bring it back either.


    Seeing this Furong Drool Chicken this time, pieces of oily chicken nuggets soaked in bright red chili oil, sprinkled with peanuts, sesame seeds, etc., immediately aroused his appetite.


    The chicken nuggets are dipped in chili oil, and when you pick them up, the soup drips down. There seemed to be something else in the chili oil, and the soup was very thick.


    Put it in your mouth, the first feeling is not spicy, but, it is so fragrant! The smell is so fragrant, the aroma of chicken, chili, sesame, peanut, and various aromas are mixed together and explode in the mouth.


    Then there is the spiciness, but it is not dry and spicy, but mouth-watering and spicy.


    ¡°Mother, it¡¯s delicious.¡± The boy pointed to the hibiscus salivating chicken and said excitedly. This dish was even more delicious than the snacks that Yang Sheng sent back last year. He had the feeling of fulfilling his dream and getting unexpected joy.


    Of course, this dish is more delicious than those snacks, and it was also made by Jiang Yunzhu, but it took a long time for those snacks to reach their hands, so the taste must be greatly reduced.


    This hibiscus saliva chicken is made with freshly killed chicken. The chicken is delicious, and even the peppers are freshly fried.


    The little girl next to the boy had the three fresh dragon and phoenix balls. As the name suggests, this dish is actually made of chicken and shrimp. The chicken is made into chicken balls, and the shrimp is made into shrimp balls. They are deep-fried in a pan until golden brown. Stir-fry in oil pan and coat with soup.


    The finished product is golden in color and the soup is translucent. Bite down, the shrimp **** are crispy on the outside, but tender and smooth enough to drip the soup inside, refreshing and delicious.


    ¡°Mom, it¡¯s delicious.¡± The little girl went to pick up the shrimp **** again, not forgetting to report her experience to Mrs. Yang.


    Seeing their urgency, Mrs. Yang glared at them angrily. After all, they are also the sons and daughters of General Zhen Guo¡¯s family, so that¡¯s it¡­ Well, she took that soup Yuxiu pill, so she didn¡¯t have time to think about it. This meatball is better than the lion¡¯s head made by Yuchu.


    The three buried themselves in the meal.


    At this time, Jing Chengyan¡¯s dishes were brought out one after another. Xuexia Soup was served first, so he ate this dish first.


    This dish is a sight to behold when served. Its color is so beautiful, like the rosy clouds of snow, no wonder it is called Xuexia Geng.


    And its taste, because this dish is made of tofu and hibiscus, has the unique fragrance of tofu, but has no beany smell, combined with the faint sweetness of hibiscus, it seems light, but aftertaste endless.


    Just like a beauty, you have to savor it carefully to appreciate the joy.


    After eating the Xuexia Soup, Jing Chengyan stayed there for a while before going to eat the next dish.


    Lotus Pond Fish Bun, this dish is made by using fresh lotus pods, hollowing out the middle, and steaming mandarin fish meat and various spices inside. The finished fish is tender, smooth and fragrant, with the unique fragrance of lotus pods, as if the fish is in the lotus, and the umami taste is endless.


    The next dish is Furong Saliva Chicken. This dish is so overbearing, but it makes people¡¯s index fingers move.


    After that¡­


    At this moment, Boss Luo was eating Mrs. Song¡¯s Fish Soup.


    Mrs. Song¡¯s fish soup is rumored to be made by a woman of the Song family in the previous dynasty. Her husband was the fifth in the family, so everyone called her Mrs. Song Wu. The fish soup she made tasted like crab meat and was so delicious that even Emperor Gaozong praised it, so it became famous all over the world.


    It¡¯s just that after the former dynasty fell, Song Wusao was nowhere to be found, and the source of this Songsao¡¯s fish soup was also lost.


    Later, many people imitated this fish soup, but it was not as good as Song Wusao¡¯s.


    Boss Luo was most curious about Mrs. Song¡¯s fish soup. When the fish soup was served, he looked at this dish first.


    The soup is clear and moist, with a tangy aroma. The color and aroma are two things. This dish should pass the test, but I don¡¯t know the taste¡­


    He picked up the spoon and took a spoonful of fish soup.


    I just feel that the fish soup is so smooth that I can¡¯t scoop it up.


    Put it in your mouth, it¡¯s fresh, it¡¯s really fresh, and the beauty of fish is vividly reflected.


    And because it is too fresh and slippery, it is really similar to crab meat.


    No, there must be other things in this soup, which makes this soup so delicious, but what is it? Boss Luo spooned and spooned, and in a short while he ate the whole fish soup, but he still couldn¡¯t taste what was in the fish soup that made it so delicious.


    He scratched his head and wished he could go to the back kitchen to ask.


    Just when he was about to get up, he slapped his forehead. If he asks, no one will tell him.


    So far, no one has been able to make the original flavor of Mrs. Song¡¯s fish soup. I¡¯m afraid this is the key!


    He looked at the fish soup with burning eyes, and he suspected that this dish was the authentic Mrs. Song¡¯s fish soup.


    Who is it that can reproduce this dish?


    He suddenly picked up the chopsticks and started eating other dishes.


    When he really couldn¡¯t eat anymore, he sat on the chair, looked at the empty dishes, and thought rolled in his mind. He is sure that the chef who cooks these dishes is definitely a famous chef, and his level is much higher than that of the famous chef of the Bai family.


    Beijing, when did such a famous chef come?


    can he¡­

 Chapter 102

    Jiang Yunzhu finished cooking, washed her hands, and was about to rest, but Yundu, Zheng Liniang, and Zhan Changchuan came to her almost at the same time, saying that the guests wanted to see her.


    ¡°See me?¡± Jiang Yunzhu was surprised.


    Ask carefully, Mrs. Yang and Jing Chengyan want to see the cook, while Boss Luo wants to see the owner of the restaurant.


    After eating delicious food, you need to meet the chef or the boss. This kind of situation also happens in restaurants.


    Jiang Yunzhu was a little tired and didn¡¯t want to deal with these people, so she looked at Jin Jiaoyue, she is the shopkeeper of the shop now, it¡¯s better for her to come forward for this kind of matter.


    Jin Jiaoyue smiled sweetly and walked forward happily.


    At this moment, the three of Mrs. Yang have finished their meal and are sitting there drinking tea.


    Why does Mrs. Yang want to meet the cook? One, this chef cooks so delicious food, she is a little curious, what kind of chef makes such delicious food.


    Second, and most importantly. She was eating, how could the taste of this lotus saliva chicken be similar to the sausages and snacks that Yang Sheng sent back from Luzhou last year?


    Think again, Yang Sheng had never recommended any restaurant to her before, but this time he suddenly did so¡­


    She intuited, is there something wrong here?


    After a while, Jin Jiaoyue knocked on the door and entered the box. When she saw Mrs. Yang, the smile on her face narrowed. She knew Mrs. Yang, the mother of the Deputy Commander, and the wife of General Zhen Guo.


    She gave Mrs. Yang a blessing, and said respectfully, ¡°The guest wants to see the chef of our restaurant? I¡¯m the shopkeeper of our restaurant, and the chef is busy. I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t have time to see the guest, so I¡¯m here to ask the guest what¡¯s the matter.


    Is it because you are not satisfied with the food? ¡°


    Mrs. Yang didn¡¯t know Jin Jiaoyue, but seeing her delicate and charming, but reserved and polite, she had a good impression of her husband. Women¡¯s life is not easy, she can be the shopkeeper of this restaurant, presumably there must be something special about her.


    ¡°Very satisfied, this dish is delicious.¡± Mrs. Yang said.


    Jin Jiaoyue smiled, waiting for Madam Yang¡¯s next words.


    Mrs. Yang pondered for a moment, ¡°I just want to chat casually with the chef. Is this restaurant of yours newly opened? Does your chef come from other places?


    Where did it come from? The cooking is so delicious, if you want to come to other places, you should also have a famous name. ¡°


    In fact, Jin Jiaoyue could lie to Madam Yang casually, but Madam Yang is the mother of the Deputy Commander, if this lie is exposed in the future¡­she will be embarrassed.


    ¡°Our chef is from another place. I don¡¯t know the details. I have to ask our boss.¡± She could only deal with it.


    ¡°Oh, your boss?¡± Mrs. Yang is also interested in the owner of this restaurant, what kind of person can hire such a chef, and dare to let a woman be the shopkeeper of the restaurant.


    ¡°Our boss doesn¡¯t meet outsiders casually. If a guest is interested, I can help you to ask.¡± Jin Jiaoyue said.


    Mrs. Yang nodded. Anyway, there is nothing to do after dinner.


    Jin Jiaoyue saluted, went out, and went to Jing Chengyan¡¯s box.


    Seeing him again, she didn¡¯t have a good face.


    ¡°What, what¡¯s up with the guests?¡± Before she came in, she had already seen the seven or eight evil slaves outside, as well as the chunky Chef Han. Immediately, she knew that Jing Chengyan was here to make trouble.


    I let him go last time, but I didn¡¯t expect him to dare to come.


    Dare to come here to make trouble, Jin Jiaoyue decided to teach him a lesson he will never forget.


    Seeing that it was her, Jing Chengyan became short of breath, ¡°I just want to meet your chef.¡± He said.


    ¡°I¡¯m the manager of the store, and the chef is busy. If you need anything, you can tell me.¡± Jin Jiaoyue said coldly.


    Jing Chengyan swallowed, he really came to make trouble today, but he changed his mind just now.


    He thought that Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s restaurant was playing tricks, but who would have thought that the restaurant has real skills, and he doesn¡¯t need to be called Chef Han to know how good this dish is.


    Beauty, beautiful utensils, delicious food, there is no such a good place, he plans to eat here all the time in the future, and taste all the delicious food in the store.


    He wanted to see the chef, just curious who the chef was. If it¡¯s a pretty girl¡­then this dish will be even more delicious.


    Jing Chengyan took out a silver ticket, put it on the table, and said loudly, ¡°I had a great time eating, and I want to reward your chef with money. Why, does she have time to come and see her now?¡±


    Jin Jiaoyue didn¡¯t even look at the bank note, she just stared at Jing Chengyan.


    Jing Chengyan¡¯s heart was terrified by her look, and he wanted to get stiff, that bad feeling came again.


    He moved his body and stepped down the steps himself, ¡°Since the chef is busy, forget it, I¡¯ll come back tonight.¡±


    ¡°Forgive me for sending you off far away.¡± Jin Jiaoyue said.


    When Jing Chengyan heard her words, he walked out faster.


    Once outside, under the sun, he felt safe.


    ¡°Young Master, Young Master?¡± Chef Han and the seven or eight evil slaves followed him out, not knowing why, isn¡¯t he going to demolish the shop? How did the son come out.


    Jing Chengyan glared at them angrily, a bunch of idiots.


    Afterwards, he turned his head to look at the restaurant behind him, with more curiosity and a feeling of resentment.


    At this time, Jin Jiaoyue went to see Boss Luo.


    The conversation between the two was much simpler and more direct. Boss Luo wanted to meet the owner of the restaurant and ask him if he could come and have a banquet. Of course, he also thought about whether he could directly hire a chef at a high price to be his private chef.


    I just raised it hastily, fearing to offend the shopkeeper, so I settled for the next best thing.


    It turned out to be this matter, ¡°Sorry, we don¡¯t come to the door, if guests want to entertain friends, it¡¯s the same as coming to our restaurant.¡± Jin Jiaoyue said. On this matter, Jiang Yunzhu had said earlier that Shi Shi Restaurant does not accept door-to-door banquets.


    How could it be the same? Boss Luo was anxious, and invited people to the restaurant for dinner. Who could not invite them, and the Bai family and others would laugh at him for no reason. Even though he is not his own private chef when he invites someone to his home, he still looks decent.


    He also expected that this might be the case, so he didn¡¯t give up, ¡°Everything is negotiable, your restaurant has just opened, not many people know, if you come to my house for a banquet, maybe you can make a name for yourself, won¡¯t it be like a cloud of customers in the future?


    Also, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price.


    Or¡­¡± As expected of a businessman, Boss Luo gave five or six reasons and the conditions he could offer, which made Jin Jiaoyue a little tempted.


    Finally, Jin Jiaoyue said, ¡°I can help you ask the shop owner what he means.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Boss Luo said immediately.


    Jin Jiaoyue went back to the backyard, got rid of one, and there were two left. She told Jiang Yunzhu about the situation of those two.


    Jiang Yunzhu was surprised that it was Yang Sheng¡¯s mother. She and Yang Sheng are friends, and her friend¡¯s mother is here, and she should go see her because of emotion and reason.


    After thinking about it, Jiang Yunzhu got up and went to the box in front.


    ¡°Come in.¡± Mrs. Yang had almost finished her tea, and said casually when she heard someone knocking on the door.


    Jiang Yunzhu entered.


    Today she was wearing a long aqua blue dress with layers of skirts, like waves flowing in layers between her movements. Coupled with her smooth skin and beautiful eyebrows and eyes, as soon as she came in, she had a feeling of eye-catching, and she couldn¡¯t take her eyes off.


    Mrs. Yang had never seen any kind of beauties in the capital. Some beauties were beautiful, but they only had skins. The girl in front of her was different.


    ¡°The guest wants to see me?¡± Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know what Yang Sheng told Mrs. Yang, so she didn¡¯t mention her acquaintance with Yang Sheng.


    Mrs. Yang looked at Jiang Yunzhu carefully, and the more she looked, the more she admired in her heart, such a good girl, I don¡¯t know whose family it is.


    ¡°Are you the owner?¡± she asked.


    ¡°Exactly.¡± Jiang Yunzhu replied.


    ¡°Where is the girl from?¡± Mrs. Yang heard Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s accent, which seemed to be from the south and also from the capital, but she couldn¡¯t tell the difference for a while.


    ¡°Changfeng Mansion.¡± Jiang Yunzhu left Luzhou, for the safety of Jiang Cheng and others, and also for the sake of not attracting attention, she decided to only say that she was from Changfeng Mansion in the future. Anyway, this is also true.


    Isn¡¯t Changfeng Mansion Luzhou?


    ¡°By the way, I want to see you. I want to ask about the chef in your shop?¡± Mrs. Yang asked again.


    Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°I am the chef in the shop.¡±


    Mrs. Yang was very surprised. She is the owner and the chef of the shop?


    It¡¯s just that it¡¯s not Luzhou¡­ Maybe she¡¯s thinking too much.


    Mrs. Yang smiled, ¡°I like your cooking very much.¡±


    ¡°The lady will come here often in the future.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°I want to come here often,¡± Mrs. Yang said.


    Mrs. Yang asked the servants to settle the bill, and left with a couple of children.


    After driving a few streets, he came to the main street of the capital. Time Restaurant is in the east of the city, and Yang¡¯s family lives in the west of the city. To go back, they must pass the street in front of the palace.


    Suddenly, a servant outside the carriage reminded in a low voice, ¡°Madam, it¡¯s Princess Danyang¡¯s carriage.¡±


    Mrs. Yang¡¯s feeling for Princess Danyang is a bit strange. Princess Danyang is the younger sister of the current emperor, and her son is Yang Sheng¡¯s immediate boss. No matter how you look at it, Mrs. Yang should greet her with a smile.


    However, some people said that Shen Fengming¡­


    Mrs. Yang doesn¡¯t know what Princess Danyang thinks, but when the two meet in front of outsiders, they usually don¡¯t show too much affection.


    Therefore, Mrs. Yang just opened the carriage curtain and said hello to Princess Danyang.


    Princess Danyang didn¡¯t care either.


    The two carriages quickly staggered, each going to a different place.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu went to see Boss Luo, and she was very tempted by two of the conditions that Boss Luo told Jin Jiaoyue before. First, Boss Luo has several large ice cellars in the suburbs, and it will be summer soon, and it is time to use ice. Jiang Yunzhu had been thinking about where to get ice.


    Second, Boss Luo made his fortune by shipping. His fleet often brings back all kinds of seafood and various things from overseas. If Jiang Yunzhu needs it, he can provide her with some.


    Boss Luo also took great pains to impress Jiang Yunzhu.


    Knocking on the door, Boss Luo has been waiting for Jiang Yunzhu, and he was very surprised when he really saw her.


    ¡°Is the girl the proprietor of this restaurant?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yunzhu replied.


    Her calmness made Boss Luo believe her words instantly. This girl is a businessman.


    The two quickly talked about the past. Since Jiang Yunzhu came, he actually agreed to Boss Luo with all his heart.


    Boss Luo understood, but he was not arrogant, and talked to her in detail.

 Chapter 103

    In the end, Jiang Yunzhu negotiated with Boss Luo, and she came to make a banquet for him. The materials for the banquet were provided by Boss Luo, and Boss Luo gave her two large cellars of ice, and if there was anything new about the things brought back by his fleet , can be sold to Jiang Yunzhu first.


    The second item is actually very flexible, mainly the first item, according to Boss Luo¡¯s description, the ice in the two cellars, each cellar has Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s attic size, and the two cellars are very valuable.


    The key point is that things like ice are almost all in the hands of wealthy people, and they may not be able to buy them even if they have money.


    Jiang Yunzhu was very satisfied with this, and Boss Luo also solved a major matter on his mind, which made him feel much more relaxed.


    The two agreed that the banquet would be held five days later.


    Jiang Yunzhu originally wanted to spread the reputation of Time Restaurant slowly through word of mouth, but since she had the opportunity to become famous in advance, she didn¡¯t intend to miss it. Besides, taking Boss Luo¡¯s benefits, she should have done her best, so she immediately thought about the banquet, hoping to make a big splash.


    It was already dark, and Jiang Yunzhu sat at the small table, writing and meditating.


    At this time, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng knocked on the door and entered.


    The restaurant opened, and the two of them would come to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s place for dinner unless they were very late in handling the case. Of course, they don¡¯t want to bother her all the time, Xue Jing already has seven of her skills, and eating what he cooks is the same.


    ¡°Xue Jing is waiting for you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled when he saw the two of them. There was no business in the store for the past two days. Xue Jing saw Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s new dish and wanted to learn it, but was afraid of wasting ingredients, so he was anxiously hoping that someone would come to eat.


    Shen Fengming and the two came, but they couldn¡¯t understand his urgent need.


    Yang Sheng laughed, why does it feel like they are not here to eat, but they are here to be the test subjects.


    But it doesn¡¯t matter, just eat something.


    The three chatted briefly, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng went out to the dining room for dinner, Jiang Yunzhu continued to think about the banquet.


    After an unknown amount of time, the door was knocked again.


    ¡°Come in.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said without raising her head.


    Shen Fengming entered the room.


    His footsteps were very steady, and Jiang Yunzhu quickly heard that it was him who came in and looked up at him.


    When she raised her head, her eyebrows and eyes raised slightly, revealing her slender and fair neck, which matched her moist eyes and bright red lips, making Shen Fengming in a trance for a moment.


    ¡°Still busy?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Well. If you are tired, go back and rest early.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Shen Fengming sat opposite her.


    This is the private room that Jiang Yunzhu left for herself after decorating. There is an Arhat bed on the east wall, and a small table in the middle. Jiang Yunzhu is sitting here and writing, and he can see the night sky outside when he looks up.


    At night, the stars are twinkling, very beautiful, and it also makes people feel peaceful.


    Shen Fengming sat opposite the small table, his tall figure blocked some of the starry sky, but his eyes were brighter than broken stars.


    ¡°I¡¯ll just sit for a while.¡± Shen Fengming said. Jiang Yunzhu was busy, and he was also busy. This was a rare time for him to see her.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu was thinking of the key point, so she agreed and lowered her head again.


    Shen Fengming looked at her, her delicate skin looked very soft under the warm yellow light, just sitting there, it was as soft and beautiful as a summer lotus swaying in the water.


    Jiang Yunzhu could feel that Shen Fengming was looking at her. At first, she felt a little fluctuating in her heart, but when she threw herself into her own world, she forgot everything around her.


    After an unknown amount of time, she finally thought about it, raised her head, thinking that Shen Fengming had already left, but saw him leaning against the corner of the small table, seemingly asleep.


    ¡°Shen¡­¡± Jiang Yunzhu wanted to call him, but stopped again. He must be tired too!


    She gently put away her things, got up, and stretched herself.


    Looking at Shen Fengming again, he was wearing a black official uniform, it seems that he came directly to her after he came out of Qilin Guard. This official uniform is unique to Qilin Guards, with dark patterns embroidered on the chest, shoulders, etc. It is a fierce and mighty Qilin with teeth and claws.


    He wears a wide belt around his waist, does not have a saber, has straight eyebrows, and a face with clear water chestnuts and graceful lines as if engraved.


    At this moment, he closed his eyes, and the aura on his body seemed to be restrained, but it also made people dare not look at him closely.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at him in a daze, her room was softly furnished, and he was like a beast, breaking in and entrenched here.


    The night wind blows, and it¡¯s still a little cold.


    Jiang Yunzhu regained consciousness, took a thin blanket from the side, and wanted to cover Shen Fengming with some.


    Because he was leaning against the bed, she had to half kneel on the bed to cover him with the blanket.


    In this way, she is also closer to him, and she can clearly see his overlapping long eyelashes, the high bridge of the nose, and the red lips.


    Wrapped in a blanket, he seemed to be a lot less cruel, and even a little more beautiful, making Jiang Yunzhu unable to move his eyes away.


    At this moment, Shen Fengming opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other.


    Jiang Yunzhu blushed suddenly, stepped back quickly, and said, ¡°It¡¯s a bit cold at night, I think¡­¡±


    A hand wrapped around her waist, making her even unable to retreat.


    ¡°Master Shen.¡± Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s waist was a sensitive place, and being pinched by a strong hand made her heart skip a beat, her voice was short and soft.


    But that hand didn¡¯t let go of her, instead it pinched her waist tightly like a punishment. With a little force, she fell onto a flexible chest.


    ¡°Master Shen?¡± Shen Fengming asked in a low voice.


    He asked this sentence almost close to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s ear, and the voice carried his breath into Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s ears, and she felt smoky in her ears. Well, she decided not to call him that next time.


    No, who asked him to come to see her in an official uniform, she saw that she didn¡¯t want to call him Mr. Shen.


    Thinking of this, she pushed him away with her hands and looked up at him.


    Her hand touched his chest, and she could feel the strong beating there, which made her go limp again.


    ¡°I won¡¯t call you Lord Shen anymore, let me go.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Her waist was only slightly wider than his hand, and it seemed that it would break if she pinched it. Shen Fengming really didn¡¯t dare to use any force, but he didn¡¯t want to let go either. There is something that seems to be addictive.


    In fact, he wanted to use more force.


    He let go of her a little bit and looked down at her.


    The two were so close that they could feel each other¡¯s breath.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt that her heart was beating too fast and her breathing was not smooth, ¡°Let me go.¡± She whispered, her voice was full of coquettishness that she didn¡¯t realize.


    Feeling that the hands on the waist were getting stronger, Jiang Yunzhu glared at him, what is he going to do?


    Shen Fengming¡¯s lips moved closer to hers, but he did not continue.


    Jiang Yunzhu was blessed to the heart, he seemed to be really waiting for her to kiss him. It seems that it was the same last time.


    Shen Fengming really wanted Jiang Yunzhu to get close to him and know her heart.


    The two confronted each other for a while, but Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t kiss in the end.


    Sending Shen Fengming away, Jiang Yunzhu went back to the house, wiped his face with a cold towel, and then let out a sigh of relief, feeling tired, and hurriedly washed and slept.


    When Yang Sheng returned home, Mrs. Yang gave him a rare good face, ¡°I went to that restaurant.¡± She said.


    ¡°How is it?¡± Yang Sheng asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡± It¡¯s just that they are too far away, and she wants to eat at night, but she feels that time is a bit tight. Thinking of this, Mrs. Yang glared at Yang Sheng. He came back so late, so he wouldn¡¯t go to that restaurant for dinner, would he?


    Eat by yourself, don¡¯t you remember my wife?


    Yang Sheng was seen through, embarrassed, the Zhenfu Division was not near the restaurant.


    ¡°Brother, it¡¯s delicious.¡± The young man beside Mrs. Yang praised.


    ¡°I want to eat.¡± The little girl next to the boy said with a flattened mouth.


    Seeing the gluttonous appearance of a pair of siblings, Yang Sheng smiled and patted their heads, ¡°I can eat tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°I also met the owner of that restaurant.¡± Mrs. Yang said suddenly.


    Yang Sheng became alert, ¡°Oh?¡±


    Mrs. Yang looked at his reaction carefully, ¡°That girl is really kind, if you can invite me to our house¡­¡±


    Yang Sheng was wilted, so there was no need to think about it.


    Seeing his reaction, Mrs. Yang felt that she might really be thinking too much.


    When Shen Fengming returned to Shen¡¯s residence, it was already very late, the housekeeper said that Princess Danyang and Master Shen had already rested, so he went back to his own residence, washed and slept.


    In fact, Princess Danyang and Master Shen didn¡¯t sleep at all, if Shen Fengming didn¡¯t come back, how could they sleep.


    It¡¯s just that in the inner room, one is reading a book and the other is reading accounts.


    After a while, a nanny came to report that the young master had returned to the mansion.


    The two of them put away their things and lay down.


    After a sweet sleep, she woke up the next day feeling refreshed. After Jiang Yunzhu washed up and had breakfast, she went to Boss Luo and told him about her banquet arrangements.


    Boss Luo knew that Jiang Yunzhu had put his heart into it as soon as he heard it, so he couldn¡¯t help nodding.


    ¡°By the way, Boss Luo, your fleet often travels overseas. What interesting things can you bring back? Maybe it can be used in banquets.¡± Jiang Yunzhu suggested.


    Boss Luo thought about it, and took Jiang Yunzhu to a warehouse of his own, where there were all kinds of exquisite tableware, which was very Western.


    ¡°How about these tableware?¡± Boss Luo asked, pointing to those tableware. They were mostly silver, shining and very rich, and he liked them very much. He also thought about using these tableware to entertain Boss Bai and others.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡­ fell silent. These tableware are very beautiful, and can be placed on a Chinese-style dining table, no matter how awkward it looks. Unless, she gets a table of western food. I¡¯m afraid that everyone will not be able to accept it.


    Boss Luo coughed in embarrassment. In fact, he didn¡¯t feel well, so he didn¡¯t use these tableware all the time.


    ¡°Are there any ingredients?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid the sea goods will not be available until the fleet returns. The latest trip may take half a month.¡± Boss Luo said.


    It might be too late, Jiang Yunzhu felt very regretful, at this moment, she glanced, but saw something, and reached out to pick it up.


    ¡°This is?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°This is a kind of thing that my fleet mainly sells, glass cup.¡± Boss Luo explained.


    Glass cups are actually glass cups. Xia Chao¡¯s glass firing technology is already very good, and Boss Luo has innovated again. He let the craftsmen integrate the glass firing technology of some overseas countries, and burn better glass according to their preferences. Cups, and then sold to them, very popular in those countries.


    This is also the reason why he became one of the wealthy businessmen in the capital so quickly.


    Speaking of this glass, he was very proud.


    Looking at those glasses, Jiang Yunzhu had an idea in her heart. After the banquet in a few days, her dishes should be fine, but the wine¡­ the twenty-year-old pear blossom brewed by Boss Luo is very good, but it¡¯s not brilliant enough.


    Now, with this glass, it can be refreshing!


    The author has something to say:


    The glass cup is a reference to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty really sold glasses overseas.

 Chapter 104

    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to make a cocktail.


    Cocktail originates from foreign countries. It is a kind of wine made from one base wine and two or more materials. It has bright colors and refreshing taste.


    Dishes are all about color, fragrance, and taste, so is wine. Who wouldn¡¯t want to try a glass of wine that looks very attractive.


    For example, the wine that has always enjoyed a high reputation, the ¡°Grape Wine Luminous Cup¡±, the wine and the beautiful utensils, even the emperors of all dynasties fell in love with it. For example, the bilingxiang that Jiang Yunzhu drank last time, that jar costs several hundred taels, and you may not be able to buy it with money.


    This cocktail has a unique color and taste. Jiang Yunzhu feels that in this place where the capital gathers, as long as the choice is good, it is not too exaggerated like Boss Luo¡¯s silver tableware, and it is made to suit everyone¡¯s taste. like.


    In fact, Jiang Yunzhu had done this in her dream, and it was quite successful, but she had been in the Marquis of Anping for a long time, and sometimes, these things were useless at all.


    And to make cocktails, you need to use base wine, and baijiu is actually fine. In modern times, there are many cocktails made with baijiu, which are very Chinese and even popular overseas. Of course, not all liquors are suitable, so you should choose light-flavored liquors, such as sorghum liquor, Zhuyeqing, etc.


    ¡°Boss Luo, can you come to my restaurant for dinner tonight?¡± Jiang Yunzhu invited, and she wanted to show Boss Luo the cocktails she made. Facts speak louder than words.


    Boss Luo readily agreed, the food at Time Restaurant is so delicious, he is fine tonight, he wants to go if she doesn¡¯t invite him.


    Jiang Yunzhu bought some glasses from Boss Luo, and then went to the market to buy various things for making cocktails. Of course, most importantly, Bing, she hoped that Boss Luo would pay a little in advance. Boss Luo agreed and took her to the ice cellar in the suburbs.


    In the afternoon, everything was ready, and Jiang Yunzhu started to mix drinks.


    She was busy all day, making juice and ice cubes. Xue Jing followed her for a long time, and immediately knew that she was going to get some novel food, so she immediately stood by her side.


    ¡°I won¡¯t cook food today.¡± Jiang Yunzhu smiled at him.


    Then, she took out a glass and put it on the counter, and then she took out a round jar, put bamboo leaf green, peach juice, and almond syrup into the jar in turn, shook it well, then added three ice cubes, and shook it up and down.


    The sound of crashing ice cubes mixed with wine hitting the inner wall of the jar was clear and loud, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the store.


    There were no guests at the moment, Jin Jiaoyue and the others were curious about what Jiang Yunzhu was doing, so they all gathered around.


    ¡°Just wait, there will be something good to drink in a while.¡± Xue Jing said to Zhang He and others familiarly.


    Everyone looked at Jiang Yunzhu again, and saw that her movements were chic and reckless, and she was indescribably beautiful.


    There are actually various tricks in making cocktails. Jiang Yunzhu has only learned a little bit in modern times, so she can barely fool them.


    With a ¡°snap¡±, the jar fell on the table. Jiang Yunzhu opened the jar and poured the wine and ice cubes into the glass.


    Boss Luo¡¯s glasses come in several shapes and colors. Jiang Yunzhu chose a wine glass similar to a modern red wine glass, except that there are not so tall slender pillars underneath, which is a bit like a dwarf wine glass.


    In terms of color, this wine glass is not as transparent as modern ones, but it still works.


    I saw the white apricot-colored wine mixed with ice cubes falling into the glass, and in an instant, a sweet scent of wine wafted out.


    ¡°Taste.¡± Jiang Yunzhu stretched out his hand to signal.


    There was only one glass of wine, Jin Jiaoyue and the others licked their lips, but decided to give it to Xue Jing, who made him spend the longest time with Jiang Yunzhu.


    But Xue Jing pushed the glass of wine to Zhang He. These days, when the two get along, he admires his knife skills very much.


    Zhang He¡¯s ice-like face was tense, he was not good at words, since Xue Jing gave him up, he would write down his affection and just drink it.


    Picking up the wine glass, he took a sip of the wine.


    In an instant, the ice layer on his face seemed to melt. How could this wine be so sweet and soft, like, like¡­ He glanced at Zheng Liniang, and his face flushed instantly.


    ¡°This glass of wine is called Bingtao.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. In fact, this wine is called Sweet Kiss, and the taste of this wine is like a girl¡¯s light kiss, as well as countless sweet longings, but because this era is relatively conservative, she changed the name of this wine.


    ¡°How is it?¡± Xue Jing immediately asked Zhang He.


    The suspicious blush on Zhang He¡¯s face increased even more, Xue Jing didn¡¯t notice it, but Jiang Yunzhu, Jin Jiaoyue and others did.


    Jiang Yunzhu followed his gaze and looked at Zheng Liniang, amused in her heart. Unexpectedly, a glass of wine made her discover something different. It¡¯s just that one of these two people is cold and the other is indifferent, and they really don¡¯t know how to be together.


    Jin Jiaoyue and the others were even more curious about the taste of the wine, which made Zhang He show such an expression.


    They looked at Jiang Yunzhu expectantly.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t talk nonsense, and quickly mixed a few more glasses and handed them to everyone.


    Everyone got the wine and drank it, with different expressions on their faces. Some people drank the wine in small sips, feeling melancholy in their hearts, while others drank the wine in one gulp, feeling overwhelmed.


    ¡°Wine can be so delicious.¡± Jin Jiaoyue pinched the wine glass with her white fingers, her eyes blurred, as if recalling something from the past.


    ¡°Boss.¡± Xue Jing was more straightforward, giving Jiang Yunzhu a thumbs up, and then looked at Zhang He and the others, a little complacent. He said there is something good to drink, sure enough.


    Several people all looked at Jiang Yunzhu, their expressions were stunned, they seemed to understand why their Governor Shen ran here every day.


    Living a simple life with Jiang Yunzhu in this restaurant, eating delicious meals, is really happy.


    Happy, they almost forgot this feeling. It turned out that it was like this.


    Several people took another sip of the ice peach, the corners of their mouths slightly raised.


    Jiang Yunzhu was also drinking, and for a while, the room was quiet.


    After drinking together, everyone seems to be closer than before.


    ¡°Boss, can I have another glass?¡± Jin Jiaoyue asked softly, she felt that she really liked this wine.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    This time she mixed a glass of wine with bamboo leaf greens, soda water, and watermelon juice.


    ¡°Red makeup.¡± She said, handing the wine to Jin Jiaoyue. The overall color of this wine is bright red, very gorgeous. After drinking it, the mouth is full of fragrance, and it really feels like a stunning beauty.


    Made a cup with bamboo leaf green, mint, green juice, and honey.


    ¡°Yao Chi.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. This glass of wine is light green in color as a whole, it really looks like fine nectar from Yao Chi.


    Finally, Jiang Yunzhu first mixed half a glass of wine with Fenjiu and soda water, poured it into the glass, then mixed half a glass with bamboo leaf green, mint and a little orchid juice, and poured it into the previous glass.


    The wine under the glass is transparent, and the top is ice blue. When the glass is shaken, the blue is dense, ¡°ocean¡±. The taste of this wine is just like its color, with a mysterious sweetness, which attracts people¡¯s imagination .


    Everyone drank a glass of each dish, but they still couldn¡¯t get enough.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to open for business soon.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, no more drinking.


    Everyone was drinking happily, and when they heard this, they all felt like they were being slapped in the head.


    ¡°In the future, I will teach Zhang He the method of mixing wine. If you want to drink, you can ask him for it. However, you can¡¯t drink too much, and getting drunk will cause trouble.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said again.


    After hearing this, everyone became happy again. They are all strong-minded people, and of course they will not get drunk.


    In a good mood, they open the store and get ready for business.


    Unexpectedly, the first guest to come to the door was Mrs. Yang, and she still brought a couple of children here today.


    The three of them couldn¡¯t forget the dishes cooked by Jiang Yunzhu at noon yesterday. They wanted to come here at noon, but unfortunately they were delayed by something. At night, they didn¡¯t care too much and came immediately.


    Mrs. Yang is Yang Sheng¡¯s mother, Jiang Yunzhu treats her like an elder, when she sees her, she makes a glass of Yao Chi and asks Jin Jiaoyue to bring it to Mrs. Yang.


    ¡°The owner specially gave it to the guests. The name of the wine is Yaochi.¡± Jin Jiaoyue put the wine in front of Mrs. Yang, and said to her with a smile.


    Mrs. Yang was surprised, firstly, the color and aroma of the wine, and secondly, the owner gave her wine?


    ¡°Thank the owner for me,¡± she said.


    Jin Jiaoyue saluted and withdrew.


    Mrs. Yang picked up the glass of wine curiously, took a sip, and felt sweet and fragrant in the mouth, just like fine nectar and jade dew.


    ¡°Yaochi?¡± Looking at the wine, she felt that the name was really correct.


    Good food, good wine¡­Suddenly, she remembered the agreement with Mrs. Li and the others the day after tomorrow to go to the White Horse Temple to offer incense and eat vegetarian food.


    What¡¯s the point of eating a vegetarian diet? The food and drinks in this restaurant are delicious!


    She had an idea in an instant.


    After a while, Boss Luo came. He ordered food, and Jiang Yunzhu made a glass of Yaochi and a glass of Ocean, and asked Jin Jiaoyue to bring them to him.


    Soon, Boss Luo will see Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu went to see him.


    As soon as he entered the door, Boss Luo pointed at the two glasses of wine and said excitedly, ¡°Boss Jiang, what is this?¡±


    ¡°I mixed the wine.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Boss Luo noticed that she used ¡°tiao¡± instead of stuffed. But it didn¡¯t matter, anyway, he hadn¡¯t had this kind of wine anywhere else before.


    It is both refreshing and refreshing. The key point is that this wine is also very beautiful.


    Especially, in the glass he is most proud of.


    This wine was tailor-made for him. He could already imagine everyone¡¯s expressions when they saw the wine.


    ¡°Boss Jiang, can I use your wine for my banquet?¡± Boss Luo asked nervously. In fact, Jiang Yunzhu invited him here today and brought him these two glasses of wine. He could already guess what she meant, but he had to hear her promise with his own ears so that he could feel at ease.


    ¡°Okay. However, Boss Luo has to prepare wine glasses and ice cubes.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°No problem.¡± Boss Luo immediately agreed.


    Afterwards, the two discussed again before Jiang Yunzhu left.


    In the next few days, Time Restaurant gradually had some customers, including wealthy businessmen, and several wives brought by Mrs. Yang. The restaurant¡¯s business seemed to be slowly getting on the right track.


    On this day, it was finally time for Boss Luo to entertain the guests. Jiang Yunzhu took Xue Jing, Zhang He and others to Luo¡¯s house early to get busy.


    Boss Luo was busy greeting everyone, and Boss Du asked him quietly, ¡°Why did you cook the banquet so quickly? Did you find a famous chef?¡± them.

 Chapter 105

    Boss Luo smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯ll find out later.¡±


    ¡°Did you really find a famous chef? Where did you find it?¡± Boss Du asked dubiously.


    Boss Luo didn¡¯t want to say more, but Boss Du wanted to ask. At this moment, someone said, ¡°Master Bai, Master Li, and Master Qin are here.¡±


    These three people are the leaders among the wealthy businessmen in the capital, so when they came, everyone stood up.


    Boss Luo and Boss Du also hurried outside to greet them.


    Master Bai is a middle-aged man with a bit of a fat figure, wearing a crimson brocade embroidered with clouds, and those who are familiar with it can immediately recognize that this brocade is the famous Yue brocade, every inch of brocade is gold. And looking at the embroidery and workmanship, it must be produced by Caisheng Pavilion.


    Master Li is a man in his thirties with a gentle appearance. He is wearing a light blue gown, the material of the gown is considered expensive, but it is not as good as Master Bai¡¯s Yue Jin, but the embroidery is exquisite, the tailoring fits well, and there is an inconspicuous flying phoenix pattern on the lower right corner of the gown.


    Immediately someone exclaimed, ¡°Master Li¡¯s clothes are made by Zhu Yuniang?¡±


    Zhu Yuniang, the wife of the prefect of Lincheng, has superb embroidery skills, and one of her embroidery is hard to buy. Master Li is wearing a dress that she embroidered and cut?


    Master Qin is an old man in his fifties. He doesn¡¯t wear anything special, except that he occasionally raises his hand to reveal the rare dzi bracelet on his wrist, which is amazing.


    That is the Xiangxiong Dzi Bead, the first of the seven treasures of Tibet. It is said that it can attract good fortune, block evil spirits, cure diseases and save lives. A piece of this quality is hard to find in the world. Master Qin actually made it into a bracelet.


    Boss Luo and Boss Du looked at each other with a sore heart. Sure enough, compared with Boss Bai and others, they still had too little knowledge, no wonder they looked down on them.


    For a while, the two even felt a sense of waning interest.


    The three of Master Bai had already entered the hall.


    Master Bai said with a smile, ¡°It was just a joke last time. I didn¡¯t expect Boss Luo to take it seriously. It¡¯s okay, let¡¯s try together today. Boss Luo is a master cook. Presumably, we won¡¯t be disappointed.¡±


    He spoke very politely, but everyone present was smart, and no one could tell that he was speaking ironically.


    Some responded, some smiled, and some worried for Boss Luo.


    From the front, it looked peaceful, but in fact, there was an undercurrent. From the back, Jiang Yunzhu had already prepared everything, and was just waiting for the dinner to be cooked, so there was nothing to do at this time.


    ¡°Boss, didn¡¯t you see that those people in the front hall heard that there are people who are worth a thousand taels of clothes, or gold, and there are people who have a bracelet worth a hundred thousand taels of silver.¡± Xue Jing was idle and went to the front. After a circle, come back and sigh with Jiang Yunzhu.


    He felt that just at this moment, his perception of rich people was completely subverted.


    Compared with these people, the richest household in Wuling County is simply a pauper.


    Jiang Yunzhu was not surprised. These people were the richest merchants in the capital city of the Great Xia Dynasty. How much money did they have in their families? bracelet, what¡¯s wrong?


    Of course, Jiang Yunzhu still felt that they were a little burnt, this kind of comparison¡­


    At this time, everyone in front had already sat down, and everyone chatted for a while, and soon, a dancer came up to sing and dance.


    This is also an inherent item when wealthy businessmen have banquets, to see which one has a beautiful Meiji.


    Boss Luo bought these dancers from the south at a high price. They are all beautiful and graceful, and their dances are even more graceful and moving.


    It¡¯s just that in the eyes of Master Bai and others, it¡¯s not worth mentioning. Nothing special!


    Master Bai and the others didn¡¯t go to see the dancers, they chatted with each other.


    This is what it means to be dissatisfied with the dancer. Everyone saw it and talked and laughed.


    This is equivalent to hitting Boss Luo in the face, Boss Luo looks ugly.


    ¡°Brother Luo!¡± Boss Du sighed softly, he knew this was the case, so he never dared to hold a banquet for fear of being humiliated.


    Boss Luo decided to advance the following projects, and he gestured to the butler next to him.


    The butler immediately went to the back and said anxiously, ¡°Boss Jiang, let¡¯s serve some snacks and drinks!¡±


    ¡°So fast?¡± Jiang Yunzhu was surprised. It stands to reason that one should drink tea first, enjoy the dance, and serve snacks and drinks, which means the banquet is about to begin.


    ¡°That¡¯s what the master means.¡± The housekeeper said.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu agreed.


    After a while, a group of beautiful maids came to the guest¡¯s table with trays of dim sum, and respectfully placed the dim sum on the table.


    As soon as the dessert came up, it attracted everyone¡¯s attention.


    This snack is so beautiful!


    There are four desserts in total, the first one is Hequ. I saw the lotus leaf fields painted on the fine white porcelain plate, and in the water waves next to it, there were eight lifelike water birds the size of a thumb.


    This waterfowl is a snack. They are white and fat, with gorgeous tail hairs, and even have eyes and mouths. They have different expressions, and they are as vivid as real birds playing in the water waves and lotus leaves.


    Being able to make dim sum so compact and realistic, this dim sum, not to mention the taste, is eye-opening just because of the workmanship.


    The second dish is lotus cake. Some people know this dessert. This dessert has a long history. According to the records of ¡°Mengliang Lu¡±, this dessert was the favorite of Emperor Guangzong of Song Dynasty. However, after the invasion of foreign tribes, this imperial dessert was lost. up.


    Why, shopkeeper Luo¡¯s chef actually knows how to make this dim sum?


    Is it a counterfeit? not like. The appearance of this dessert is exactly the same as that recorded in the book, it looks like a pink lotus flower in full bloom. The most difficult thing about this dessert is that each petal is layered on top of each other, as thin as thin paper, but not sticky at all. Many people have wanted to imitate this dessert, but they can¡¯t make it like this.


    Now that I look at the petals of this dim sum, I know that the records in ¡°Meng Liang Lu¡± are true.


    The third dish is the snow lotus root and pumpkin cup. For this snack, the small pumpkins are only the size of plums, and the color and shape are the same as real pumpkins. The most ingenious thing is that the pumpkins can be opened, and there are some snow-white and sweet things inside, which are very attractive.


    The fourth track, lotus flowers reflecting the sun, under the lotus petals, pieces of crystal-like snacks and lotus petals set off each other and reflect each other.


    That¡¯s right, the theme of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s banquet today is lotus.


    After the four dishes of dim sum were served, even Master Bai stopped joking and focused on the plates of dim sum.


    ¡°Please, let¡¯s watch while eating.¡± The hall became quiet, Boss Luo finally felt elated when he saw this, and invited everyone with a smile.


    Then he put a lotus cake in his mouth.


    He has only heard of the name of this dim sum, but he has never eaten it before. When he eats it now, he feels like layers of lotus petals are blooming in his mouth. Don¡¯t let people applaud.


    Boss Luo felt that it was worth it to invite Jiang Yunzhu to the banquet for two cellars of ice. If nothing else, he would earn money if he could eat such delicious dim sum.


    The host started to eat, and the guests also started to move their chopsticks.


    Some people ate lotus cakes, some ate the waterfowl in the lotus fun, and some people wondered what was in the pumpkin cup¡­


    No matter which dim sum they ate, they only had one thought, how could this dim sum be so delicious.


    This time, no one watched the singing and dancing, and everyone was busy eating snacks.


    There are very few snacks, and each one is the size of a child¡¯s fist. Soon, everyone ate up the snacks, and then suddenly stopped, a little embarrassed.


    Going out to a banquet, dim sum is just an appetizer. Everyone used to eat a symbolic one or two yuan and forget it, but now¡­ all of them are eaten, it¡¯s too embarrassing! As if they hadn¡¯t had dim sum.


    There was still one or two pieces left on the plate, so I quickly put down my chopsticks.


    But this dim sum was really delicious, the chopsticks seemed uncontrollable, so he picked up the remaining dim sum and put it in his mouth.


    Some people are thin-skinned and can¡¯t help but blush.


    They are all people of status, what delicious food has never been eaten, why is this!


    Master Bai and the others also ate a lot. Although they didn¡¯t want to admit it, the snacks were really delicious.


    Boss Du¡¯s jaw almost dropped at this time, where did Boss Luo find the chef with such superb cooking skills.


    He bumped Boss Luo with his arm, with a resentful look on his face, he made a lot of fun in such a quiet way, but didn¡¯t take him with him, he wasn¡¯t quite a friend.


    Boss Luo smiled embarrassedly. He also received Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s invitation, so he didn¡¯t seize the opportunity himself.


    After the snacks were finished, the singing and dancing continued. This time, everyone stopped chatting and watched the singing and dancing absent-mindedly. In fact, they were waiting for the feast. They just ate a few pieces of snacks, which completely hooked the gluttons in their stomachs. Now they want to eat and see what surprises they have.


    The dishes began to be served, and at the same time, the drinks were served.


    It turned out to be a glass of wine with a transparent bottom and a blue top, which looked very mysterious and beautiful.


    ¡°Boss Luo, what is this?¡± Someone couldn¡¯t help asking Boss Luo.


    Boss Luo picked up the wine glass and explained, ¡°This is a glazed glass. I have someone improve the original method to make it.¡±


    Everyone complimented him twice, but they were eager to listen to what he said next. Liuli has been around for a long time, and it was cherished in the Han and Tang Dynasties, but it is nothing in this dynasty. They are curious about the color of the wine in the wine glass, and how it is layered up and down.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try it first.¡± Boss Luo said to everyone, as if he was trying to whet everyone¡¯s appetite.


    If it was before, everyone would have ridiculed.


    But now, it¡¯s good to try it first, in case the wine doesn¡¯t taste good!


    Everyone picked up their wine glasses and took a sip. They have never drank wine with this taste, it is refreshing and sweet, and because there is ice in the wine, this feeling is deepened, and it seems to permeate the whole body after one sip.


    Tasting it carefully, the wine seems to be mixed with other lingering flavors, and the aftertaste is endless.


    ¡°Good wine!¡± Boss Du praised first, and then said, ¡°With this kind of wine, it seems that this summer will be much better.¡±


    When he said that, everyone secretly thought, no.


    It¡¯s already June, and it¡¯s almost the hottest time of the year. Every summer, everyone will be bitter and hot. If you can drink a glass of this wine in the hot summer, you will feel comfortable.


    Everyone is more concerned about what the wine is called and where it comes from.


    Can¡¯t Boss Luo¡¯s chef still brew bars?

 Chapter 106

    Boss Luo has never been under the spotlight like this before, and he is a little proud, ¡°Have you ever seen the sea?¡±


    Some have seen it, some have not.


    ¡°What does Boss Luo mean?¡±


    ¡°The name of this wine is ¡®Ocean¡¯. If you have the opportunity, go to Hai Hai to see the origin of this wine¡¯s name.¡± Boss Luo sighed. He has seen the sea before, the blue and mysterious sea is not like this wine.


    Everyone knew that he was in the maritime business. Hearing what he said, some people felt that he was showing off on purpose. If it was before, they would have ridiculed him immediately, and then left with a shake of their sleeves. Now¡­ they are still waiting for a feast and wine, and let him be proud for a while.


    There are also people who have seen the sea, and after hearing what he said, they feel that the wine is called correctly.


    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s drink this cup together.¡± Boss Luo raised his glass and said.


    Everyone picked up their wine glasses and drank the wine inside, feeling happy and sweet.


    At this time, the maid of the Luo family began to serve wine, but instead of pouring wine into everyone¡¯s cups, she served another glass of wine.


    This glass of wine is green and transparent, clear and sparkling.


    ¡°The name of this wine is ¡®Yao Chi¡¯.¡± Boss Luo introduced with a smile.


    Another new wine? Everyone was surprised.


    Boss Du didn¡¯t believe it, and took a sip of the wine in the glass. The taste was completely different from just now. This wine was sweeter, just like Yuchi Yulu, with a honey fragrance and elegant aftertaste.


    Others also took a sip of the wine, and some immediately liked it, while others felt that the ¡®Ocean¡¯ just now had more charm.


    ¡°Brother Luo, there are other wines, why don¡¯t you bring them up and let us have a good drink.¡± Boss Du couldn¡¯t help but said.


    After hearing this, everyone immediately echoed.


    ¡°Of course.¡± Boss Luo said.


    Really, ¡°Boss Luo, how many new wines do you have?¡± Someone asked in amazement, and they were all incredulous. These two new wines are amazing enough, but there are still more? Since when is it so easy to brew good wine?


    ¡°Only five kinds are prepared today.¡± Boss Luo said casually, as if this was normal.


    Everyone was surprised, five? And from what he said, it seems that there are more than five new wines!


    Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all speechless. They have been compared, all of them have been compared, just for these new wines, they are not as good as Boss Luo.


    Master Bai, Master Li, and Master Qin were a little confused. They didn¡¯t believe that Boss Luo, who didn¡¯t know where tofu was sold ten years ago, could come up with so many good wines at once. Unless, the wine is from overseas.


    But it¡¯s not like, they have also drank wine from overseas, which burns their throats and has no taste, it is not as delicious as this wine.


    They affirmed that this wine was native to the Xia Dynasty, with that lingering and fragrant taste.


    Why? They were puzzled and their faces were gloomy.


    Seeing them like this, the corners of Boss Luo¡¯s mouth almost turned up to the sky, and finally, he also made them deflated once.


    At this time, the dishes were already set, and he said, ¡°How can we have wine without dishes? Let¡¯s try this dish and see if it suits everyone¡¯s taste.¡± When he said the last sentence, he looked at Master Bai and was obviously responding His previous provocation.


    Everyone looked at Master Bai.


    Master Bai smiled, and looked at the table.


    This table dish is also based on the theme of lotus, which is in the same line as the dim sum just now. This is rare. You know, those are the best dishes of a chef. Once the theme or ingredients are limited, there will be fewer special dishes that can be served on the table, and sometimes they can only make up a few dishes to make up the number.


    It is said to be a lotus feast, but it is not.


    But what about the table in front of me?


    There are a total of 18 dishes including cold dishes, hot dishes and soups, all of which are related to lotus flowers and are extremely exquisite.


    What does this mean? It shows that the chef¡¯s craftsmanship is far beyond the level shown by this table dish.


    Take a closer look at those dishes, the lotus pod fish bun, a delicacy recorded in ¡°Shanjia Qinggong¡±.


    Lotus pod mandarin fish lion head, in a thin porcelain soup bowl, there is clear soup, in the soup, a small green lotus pod and a white meatball the size of a baby¡¯s fist roll in it, it looks very attractive.


    Shrimp with jade seeds, the crystal clear shrimp and the lotus seeds complement each other.


    The lotus bag is wrapped with lotus petals, and then placed in the shape of a lotus, just like a lotus flower waiting to be released.

    In June, the lotus is blooming, and the table is full of lotus dishes, which is very suitable for the occasion. And because the dishes were exquisite and lifelike, and the fragrance of lotus wafted in, everyone suddenly seemed to see the lotus blooming on the table, and with the cups of green fairyland wine, they didn¡¯t seem to be in the world.


    Boss Luo was also stunned for a moment. Although he already knew that Jiang Yunzhu would have a lotus-themed banquet, he really didn¡¯t expect that she could do this.


    ¡°Try it, everyone,¡± he said.


    Some people couldn¡¯t bear to eat these dishes anymore, but some people started to eat those dishes, and the rest of them all stretched out their chopsticks, fearing that the dishes would be eaten up by others.


    Lotus pod fish buns, the perfect combination of fish meat and lotus pods, is indeed a delicacy that Lin Hong is full of praise for.


    The lotus mandarin fish lion head is the same fish meat and lotus pod, but it has a different taste, smooth and delicious.


    Shrimp with jade seeds, the shrimp is elastic and full of umami taste, and it has an unexpected taste when eaten with lotus seeds.


    Lotus flower buns, it turns out that the lotus petals are filled with fish roe. The golden fish roe has no fishy smell at all, and is soft and delicious.


    ¡­


    No one was talking at the dinner table, everyone was enjoying the delicious food.


    After a while, another drink was changed, this time the wine was bright red, it was called Hongzhuang, and it matched perfectly with the lotus feast.


    Then ice peach, amber.


    Amber is a kind of honey-colored wine. After drinking it, everyone is full and full.


    At this time, the dishes on the table have basically been eaten up, so there is no need to say more about how well the dishes are prepared.


    ¡°Good wine, good food.¡± Master Bai said in satisfaction, this time he praised sincerely.


    Everyone was also amazed.


    Then, here comes the question, ¡°I don¡¯t know which chef makes such delicious food.¡± Master Bai asked, his eyes gleaming. What kind of future does such a chef have in Luo¡¯s house? When he comes to his house, he is satisfied with the terms he offers.


    Master Bai asked everyone what they thought, and everyone looked at Boss Luo.


    Boss Luo discussed this matter with Jiang Yunzhu and asked her if she would come out to meet everyone.


    Of course Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t want to, she just wanted to be behind the scenes now.


    So, Boss Luo smiled, looking unpredictable. All the people sitting here are businessmen. He knows the character of a businessman too well. If you tell him directly, he might still doubt it. That would be a completely different outcome.


    Sure enough, the more he kept silent, the more itchy everyone felt, and they had already started planning how to find out the identity of that chef.


    This also cast a layer of mystery on Jiang Yunzhu.


    Everyone was talking in low voices, but one of them had a strange expression. It was Jing Chengyan, as soon as he ate it, he knew that this dish was the chef¡¯s handicraft of Time Restaurant.


    In the past few days, he went to Time Restaurant to eat every day. Of course, he knew the rules of the restaurant. Every day at noon and night, he received twelve tables of guests. The chef decided on the dishes for each day.


    There aren¡¯t many customers in the restaurant these days, so every time he goes there, he always has a place.


    But now¡­ Jing Chengyan is panicking. Boss Luo can¡¯t hide the identity of the chef. It won¡¯t be long before everyone knows that the chef is from Shi Guang¡¯s private restaurant. When the restaurant is overcrowded, can he still grab a seat?


    Suddenly, he remembered the invitation that Jin Jiaoyue sent before, when she said that as long as she took this invitation to the restaurant, the owner would sweep the couch to welcome her. He didn¡¯t know what it meant then, but now he does.


    This invitation is the passport to enter Time Restaurant!


    Thinking of this, he stood up abruptly.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Master Lian glared at his son angrily, and scolded in a low voice. His son, who is ignorant and incompetent, really broke his heart.


    Jing Chengyan couldn¡¯t control much anymore, so he ran out of Luo¡¯s house in a hurry under the excuse of being respectful, called his servants, and told them to go to the homes of rich merchants, no matter if they bought it with money or whatever, they must get the invitation card .


    It was six days ago that Jin Jiaoyue sent the invitations. Some invitations were thrown away, some were left by the gatekeepers, and some were in the pile of sundries of rich merchants.


    Jing Chengyan went out in person, where was the invitation that was thrown away? Tell him that there is a reward of ten taels of silver.


    Wherever the servant puts it, give it to him quickly, and give him twenty taels of silver.


    Fifty taels of silver in the heap of rich merchants¡¯ sundries, no, one hundred taels.


    ¡­


    It was getting late, and Jing Chengyan really got more than a dozen invitations. He hugged those invitations and laughed excitedly.


    Here, the banquet was over, and Master Bai and others left.


    Immediately after they boarded their respective carriages, someone whispered that it turned out that it was the chef of Time Private Restaurant who was cooking the banquet and bartending at Boss Luo¡¯s house today.


    No one knows the name of the chef, except that the restaurant opened six days ago. At that time, they sent invitations to the masters, saying that whoever came to the door with the invitation, the owner of the restaurant All are welcome.


    ¡°Time Private Kitchen Restaurant?¡± I seem to be a bit impressed, so there is also a menu attached to the post, including ¡°Yangfang Tibetan Fish, Song Sao Fish Soup, Shili Ginkgo, Taibai Duck, Clear Soup Chicken, Luoyang Jelly¡­¡± etc. At that time, they didn¡¯t believe that someone could make these dishes, and they thought that person was just trying to please the public.


    Now, ¡°Go home quickly, and show me the invitation.¡± In different carriages, there was the same urgent cry.


    At this time, Boss Luo brought a young man to the backyard to meet Jiang Yunzhu.


    The young man is his son. Boss Luo has seen Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s craftsmanship today, and he also expected how priceless a meal at Shiguang Restaurant will be in the future. He wanted to keep Jiang Yunzhu, after pondering and deliberating, he felt that the general conditions would definitely not work. Suddenly he thought, if only Jiang Yunzhu could take a fancy to his son, everyone would be happy.


    Jiang Yunzhu and others were packing their things and preparing to go back to the restaurant.


    Boss Luo explained some things to her, and mentioned his son intentionally or unintentionally, the meaning couldn¡¯t be more obvious.


    Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t laugh or cry.

 Chapter 107

    The young man is handsome and talented, he is a good businessman, and he has a good impression of Jiang Yunzhu.


    Unfortunately¡­


    Jiang Yunzhu declined, and left with someone.


    ¡°Hey!¡± Boss Luo was heartbroken, seeing a golden phoenix fly away, missing a good opportunity, it was more uncomfortable than never seeing it. Thinking of this, he squinted at the young man, blaming him for not being up to date.


    The young man touched his nose, what does it matter to him? He has tried his best, but people look down on him, what can he do.


    When Boss Luo and his son came over, Xue Jing and others were there.


    Leaving Luo¡¯s house, Xue Jing quietly looked at Jiang Yunzhu, worried for her. In fact, he thinks Boss Luo¡¯s son is pretty good. Boss Luo also climbed up from the bottom, similar to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s experience. If Jiang Yunzhu married into his family, the Luo family would only treat her well.


    Of course, he also knew why Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t agree, that Mr. Shen¡­he really looks good.


    Xue Jing felt that his limited brain was not enough to think about these things, so he let go after thinking about it for a while. He believed in Jiang Yunzhu.


    Unlike him, Jin Jiaoyue and the others were worried for their Dudu Shen, Dudu Shen was always so cold, how could he embrace a beauty? In case Jiang Yunzhu likes someone else¡­ They dare not think about it, and they don¡¯t want to think about it.


    Everyone returned to the Time Restaurant, and the front of the restaurant was full of people. After Master Bai and the others returned home, some found the invitation, some did not, and some were shocked to find that someone bought the invitation before them.


    Everyone was in business, so they immediately thought of a lot, so they hurriedly sent people to Shiguang Restaurant, some wanted to invite Jiang Yunzhu to the mansion for a banquet, some wanted to dig Jiang Yunzhu into the mansion directly, and some simply wanted to eat Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s cooking. Many, noisy.


    Jiang Yunzhu was very tired after a busy day, ¡°I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± She said to Jin Jiaoyue.


    Jin Jiaoyue smiled all over her face, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, boss.¡± She likes doing this kind of thing the most.


    Jiang Yunzhu went back to the room to rest through the side door, while Jin Jiaoyue raised her chin slightly and walked towards the people in front of the door.


    Immediately, someone recognized that she was the person who sent the post, and surrounded her.


    ¡°I¡¯m the shopkeeper of Shi Guang Private Restaurant. If you have any questions, you can tell me.¡± Jin Jiaoyue stood on the steps in front of the restaurant, looking down at the crowd.


    Everyone didn¡¯t feel that there was anything wrong, and immediately started asking questions.


    ¡°Is the banquet at Boss Luo¡¯s house organized by your restaurant?¡± someone asked.


    Jin Jiaoyue nodded.


    Everyone is frying the pot, really.


    ¡°Our master would like to invite you to a banquet in the mansion.¡± Someone said first.


    ¡°Sorry, the restaurant is not accepting banquets now.¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you pick it up? We didn¡¯t go to Boss Luo¡¯s house to do it today. How much Boss Luo pays, our master pays double.¡± The butler-like man hummed.


    ¡°Our master also means the same thing. Our master pays three times the price.¡± There was someone next to him who was rich and powerful.


    ¡°Our master pays four times.¡±


    The few of them almost got into a fight.


    Jin Jiaoyue didn¡¯t even look at them, and answered other people¡¯s questions.


    ¡°Our master wants to meet the owner of your restaurant.¡± The man said.


    ¡°Sorry, our boss doesn¡¯t see outsiders.¡± Jin Jiaoyue replied.


    ¡°Do you know who our master is?¡± the man asked, their master¡¯s surname is Bai.


    Jin Jiaoyue almost rolled her eyes, whoever he is, can he hold her back? Can¡¯t stand it, just come.


    She looked at the person next to her again.


    ¡°When does your restaurant open? Our master wants to come over for dinner.¡± The man asked.


    Everyone quiet down.


    ¡°It opens at noon and You hour every day. The daily menu is decided by the shop owner on that day. Every day at noon and evening, we receive twelve tables of guests. You can make reservations three days in advance.¡± Jin Jiaoyue said.


    ¡°I want to make a reservation.¡± ¡°I want to make a reservation.¡± ¡°I want to make a reservation too.¡± Everyone hurriedly said.


    Soon, all the reservations for the three days were fully booked, and there were still many people who hadn¡¯t booked a seat.


    Then someone asked, ¡°With that invitation card, can I come to eat at any time?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Jin Jiaoyue replied.


    Those who had invitations were overjoyed, and were about to say that their master would bring the invitations to dinner, but Jin Jiaoyue said calmly, ¡°Please think it over, the invitations can only be used once.¡±


    Those who have invitations are silent, they can only use them once, and of course they have to wait until the critical moment.


    At noon the next day, the first wave of customers came to Time Restaurant for dinner.


    Today, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s menu is still ten dishes, including Taibai Duck, Luoyang Yancai, Fish Fillet in Milk Sauce, Babao Rabbit Ding, etc. Among the ten dishes, seven of them are impossible for everyone to eat outside.


    And today she mixed a new wine called Piao Piao. This wine seems to have clusters of green light floating on the surface of the cup. After drinking it, it makes people feel fascinated.


    It seems that the chef of Shiguang Restaurant is indeed the one who helps Boss Luo organize the banquet. The Taibai Duck and Luoyang Yancai he cooks, no, all the dishes he cooks are unique. And this wine, I don¡¯t know, he still has several new wines.


    The customers who have eaten can¡¯t wait to live in the store for a long time, tasting the food and drinking fine wine in the restaurant every day.


    It¡¯s a pity that it can¡¯t, they didn¡¯t make a reservation for the back seat.


    ¡°Keep an eye on me, and make an appointment for me.¡± Everyone ordered the housekeeper.


    The housekeeper was miserable, and they also wanted to make a reservation, but it was too difficult.


    Overnight, Time¡¯s private restaurant became very popular.


    In two days, the wealthy businessmen in the capital will not host any banquets. What¡¯s the point of hosting a banquet? No matter how good their chefs are, they can sometimes be as good as the chefs of the private kitchen restaurant?


    It¡¯s not as good as others, so what¡¯s the point of hosting a banquet?


    If you really want to entertain everyone, you might as well reserve a location at Time Restaurant and invite them there, it will be more face-saving.


    The invitations that Jin Jiaoyue sent out at that time also became the new favorites of wealthy businessmen. I heard that now a single invitation has been sold at a high price of one thousand taels of silver.


    Then, everyone was very angry with Jing Chengyan, and he bought their invitations.


    Jing Chengyan didn¡¯t care at all, the Jing family was also one of the richest merchants, and he wasn¡¯t afraid of them. Even, his father praised him two days ago! This was the first time his father praised him this year.


    But it¡¯s okay to praise him, and I want to take the opportunity to get an invitation from him, but I can¡¯t.


    Time Restaurant became popular among wealthy businessmen, and gradually, more and more people knew about this restaurant.


    Mrs. Yang has something to do these few days, so she couldn¡¯t come to Shiguang Restaurant, and she has been thinking about it all the time. On this day, she brought a couple of children to the restaurant, but was told that there was no room?


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± she asked.


    Jin Jiaoyue was a little confused, so she told Mrs. Yang about the rules of the restaurant.


    ¡°It needs to be booked three days in advance.¡± Mrs. Yang was a little disappointed, which meant that she would not be able to eat the food in the restaurant until three days at the earliest?


    ¡°Mother.¡± The little girl next to her tugged at her hand and looked at her eagerly. She wanted to eat something delicious inside.


    Mrs. Yang stood there, hesitating. If she revealed her identity, the owner of the restaurant would welcome her, but for a meal, it didn¡¯t seem to be worth it. It spread like she was bullying others.


    At this time, Jin Jiaoyue who was next to her was also hesitating whether to tell Jiang Yunzhu about this matter.


    Jiang Yunzhu seems to have a good relationship with their deputy commander. If she knew that Mrs. Yang was coming, she should let her stay.


    At this moment, a young man in brocade clothes came in with a few yamen servants.


    Seeing Jin Jiaoyue, the young man in brocade clothes sneered and brought people over.


    Jin Jiaoyue remembered him. That day a wealthy businessman surnamed Qin invited him to dinner. After eating the food in the restaurant, he repeatedly praised him. The next day, he came to the restaurant again and wanted to eat.


    But there was no room left in the store. This gentleman in Jinyi revealed his identity. It turned out that his surname was Liang, and he was the son of Jingzhaofu Yin.


    Yin of Jingzhao Mansion is in charge of the internal and external affairs of the capital. If he changes a store or a different shopkeeper, he has to obediently invite Mr. Liang into the store for dinner. But is Jin Jiaoyue, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, very powerful? It was his son¡¯s turn to bully others here.


    She didn¡¯t give Mr. Liang any face.


    Mr. Liang was annoyed, so he thought about how to let Jin Jiaoyue know how powerful he was when he returned home.


    So today he brought the Yamen servants from Jingzhao Mansion.


    ¡°The things in this store are not clean, search for me, if you find any suspicious things, show me.¡± Mr. Liang ordered.


    When the yamen servants heard this, they immediately picked up the knives in their hands and were about to rush back. Don¡¯t care if you find suspicious things or not, as long as they make such a fuss, the restaurant will not be able to do business. At that time, they will have to come to ask for their son.


    The smile on Jin Jiaoyue¡¯s face faded, they dare!


    Thinking of this, she touched the dagger at the back of her waist.


    Most people in Qilin Guard are good at using knives, but they don¡¯t all use long knives. For example, Jin Jiaoyue used to be a secret agent, and she used a short knives long in the palm of her hand. The whole body of this knife is pitch black, without light, but it cuts iron like mud. Swinging it, the enemy may have died under the knife without even seeing what it was.


    Jin Jiaoyue is no longer a spy, but this knife still follows her.


    At this time, Zhan Changchuan held her arm and shook his head at her. They are no longer the Qilin Guards, and they can¡¯t handle weapons without authorization. They should leave this matter to the Qilin Guards.


    Mr. Liang has no position, but arbitrarily mobilized the servants of Jingzhao Mansion. He has violated the law by bullying others. I believe that the people of Qilinwei will deal with him.


    Jin Jiaoyue bit her lip, feeling a little regretful, but sure enough, she was still too impulsive.


    The two of them thought so, but in the eyes of Mr. Liang and Mrs. Yang, they looked differently.


    Jin Jiaoyue looked aggrieved and helpless, Zhan Changchuan wanted to comfort her, but there was nothing he could do.


    Seeing this, Mr. Liang¡¯s expression became more and more complacent. If he knew this earlier, why bother.


    ¡°Where is your shop owner, let her come out to see me.¡± He shouted. He has heard that the owner of this restaurant seems to be a very beautiful girl. Today he is in a good mood and just in time to meet her.


    As soon as he said this, even Zhan Changchuan wanted to draw a knife, he dared to have such an idea!


    Beside, Mrs. Yang frowned. She had a good impression of Jiang Yunzhu, she was generous and not arrogant. Moreover, it is really not easy for her to open a restaurant in the capital as a girl.


    This young man in brocade clothes is obviously a bully.


    ¡°Stop it.¡± She said in a low voice.

 Chapter 108

    Mr. Liang squinted at Mrs. Yang, why, she wants to meddle in her own business?


    Mrs. Yang really doesn¡¯t like him, how dare a son of Jingzhao Fu Yin be so arrogant? Is there no one in the capital?


    In fact, Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion is really not young, he is equivalent to the mayor of the capital city, and he is also an important figure in the Six Princes¡¯ party. Mr. Liang certainly has the capital to be arrogant, but it is a pity that he met Mrs. Yang today.


    Without Mrs. Yang¡¯s nonsense, the servant next to him directly took out a token with the words ¡°General Zhen Guo¡± on it.


    Yang Hong, the great general of Zhenguo, the **** of war in the Xia Dynasty, sits at the border all the year round, holding 200,000 soldiers. It is also because of him that Xirong and Beidi have been making small moves all these years, but neither of them dared to violate the border again.


    The border was bitterly cold, and Yang Hong stayed for more than ten years, spending less time with his family and leaving more, so Emperor Qinglong gave Madam Yang special treatment, and also developed Madam Yang¡¯s current aggressive personality.


    The prince and the sixth prince fought fiercely, but they seldom took Yang Hong¡¯s idea. First, Yang Hong was far away at the border, and he could not quench his thirst for the situation in the capital. Second, they also counted on Yang Hong to help them guard the border.


    What they want is the thousands of miles of land and mountains of the Xia Dynasty, but they don¡¯t want to be the king of subjugation.


    Therefore, when Mr. Liang saw the token, he broke out in a cold sweat, ¡°Yang, Mrs. Yang.¡± He stammered. Immediately, his legs gave way, and he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Mrs. Yang.


    ¡°Get out!¡± Mrs. Yang said.


    Mr. Liang didn¡¯t even argue a word, so he left with his people.


    At this time, Yundu had already told Jiang Yunzhu what happened before, and Jiang Yunzhu immediately came forward.


    ¡°Thank you Madam Yang.¡± She solemnly saluted Madam Yang. If it weren¡¯t for Mrs. Yang, this matter could have been resolved, but Mrs. Yang has a kind heart, and she is grateful to Dade.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to be so polite, I also can¡¯t understand him bullying others.¡± Mrs. Yang said.


    ¡°I still want to thank Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Yang, please come inside.¡± Knowing that she was here for dinner, Jiang Yunzhu invited her to sit in the box inside.


    Mrs. Yang hesitated, she helped her, not to eat her food.


    ¡°Mom!¡± The little girl next to her tugged at her sleeve, she wanted something delicious.


    Mrs. Yang glared at her angrily, took a pair of children, and entered the box with Jiang Yunzhu.


    When the three of Mrs. Yang sat down, Yundu brought Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s newly mixed drink ¡°Piao Piao¡±. Jiang Yunzhu held up the wine glass, served first as a respect, and then said, ¡°Thank you, Mrs. Yang, today¡¯s meal is my treat for Mrs. , to repay Madam for her saving grace.


    If Madam wants to come to my shop for dinner in the future, she can come anytime. ¡°


    When Mrs. Yang heard her words, there was nothing wrong with the previous ones, but the latter sentence was of great benefit, which made her wonder if she knew her identity and wanted to curry favor with her.


    But Jiang Yunzhu was neither humble nor overbearing when she spoke. After saying this, she quickly withdrew, not intending to curry favor with her.


    This made Mrs. Yang puzzled.


    After they finished their meal, Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t come back. Mrs. Yang was finally convinced that Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s promise was really just to repay her.


    This girl is really kind and righteous. Moreover, knowing her identity, but not flattering, even complacent, her evaluation of Jiang Yunzhu was even higher.


    Perhaps, only such a person can make such delicious food, Madam Yang lamented.


    On the third day after this incident, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture was punished for several crimes, and was removed from the post of governor and transferred to other places to be the magistrate. His son was beaten eighty times for bullying others by arbitrarily mobilizing the servants of the Jingzhao Mansion, and the blood was dripping from the beating.


    Jingzhao Mansion Yin is in charge of the internal and external affairs of the capital. This position is very special and crucial. Now there is a sudden change of people. Some people are happy, some are depressed, and some are puzzled. What¡¯s going on?


    Some people said that it seemed to be related to Mrs. Yang, and the son of Jingzhao Fu Yin offended Mrs. Yang.


    When the Sixth Prince and his party heard about it, they were naturally furious. They wanted to beat Mr. Liang to death. It would be bad to offend anyone. He would offend Mrs. Yang.


    When the princelings heard about it, they were very happy.


    In fact, Mrs. Yang is very inexplicable. She couldn¡¯t understand Mr. Liang¡¯s actions. In addition, Jing Zhaofu Yin must be responsible for indulging his son. She didn¡¯t have a good impression of him, but she really didn¡¯t do it.


    Who is that, Yang Sheng? That kid never took her matters to heart, it must not be him.


    Then Mrs. Yang couldn¡¯t think of who it was. I want to explain, saying that she didn¡¯t do this, but there is a word called ¡°more and more black¡±.


    In the end, she didn¡¯t bother to explain, so be it.


    She couldn¡¯t figure it out, but someone noticed something strange. Princess Danyang, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture was demoted to a foreign prefect. This is not a trivial matter. She paid attention to it, and then she heard about a restaurant, Time Private Restaurant, where Mr. Liang was said to have offended Mrs. Yang.


    Ever since Shen Fengming personally brought back the sausages, and later sent someone to deliver those snacks, she found that the snack jar was written by a woman, so she paid special attention to eating.


    At this time, the name of Guang¡¯s private restaurant was very strange, it was related to Mrs. Yang, which hit Princess Danyang¡¯s mind.


    Ask again, the owner of this restaurant seems to be a pretty girl? Moreover, this restaurant was newly opened shortly after Shen Fengming returned to Beijing¡­


    She immediately asked someone to find an invitation card that Jin Jiaoyue had sent before. Now this invitation has been sold to five thousand taels of silver, and it is still priceless. Of course, Princess Danyang was not troubled by this, and soon she got the invitation.


    The design of this invitation card is very elegant, and the hollow lotus flower on it is ingenious, it looks like it was handwritten by a woman.


    Opening the invitation card, there was a menu, including ¡°Yangfang Tibetan fish, Mrs. Song¡¯s Fish Soup, Shili Ginkgo, Taibai Duck, Yue Chicken in Clear Soup, Luoyang Jelly¡­¡± When she saw Taibai Duck, her eyes paused.


    Half an hour later, Princess Danyang got into the carriage and went straight to Time Private Restaurant.


    When she arrived at the restaurant, someone lifted the curtain, she got out of the carriage and looked at the restaurant.


    In late June, the white lotus in front of the restaurant was floating in a pool of clear water, set off by green leaves, looking graceful and graceful, just like this restaurant, although it is also a restaurant, it is completely different from ordinary restaurants, extremely elegant.


    Princess Danyang liked this restaurant three points first, if the food in this restaurant is really so delicious, she would also like to come to such a restaurant to eat.


    After Mr. Liang¡¯s incident, now everyone thinks that Time Restaurant has something to do with Mrs. Yang, so no one dares to make trouble anymore, and the front of the restaurant is very quiet.


    Jin Jiaoyue had been guarding in front of her. She saw Princess Danyang as soon as she got off the carriage, and felt a sense of anxiety.


    Dudu Shen¡¯s mother is here¡­is she here?


    Hesitating whether to inform Dudu Shen, at this time, Princess Danyang had already stepped into the restaurant, so she had to go to greet her first.


    ¡°This guest, welcome.¡± Jin Jiaoyue said with a smile, the expression on her face was flawless.


    Nanny Chang next to Princess Danyang took out the invitation card, ¡°Our master wants to eat.¡±


    Jin Jiaoyue took the invitation, looked at it, and took Princess Danyang to a box upstairs.


    ¡°This is our menu for today, and here are the drinks.¡± Jin Jiaoyue handed the menu to Princess Danyang.


    Princess Danyang took it over, and today¡¯s menu is ¡°Yang Fang Tibetan Fish, Yue Chicken in Clear Soup, Southern Fried Eel¡­¡± and so on. There are ten dishes in total.


    Jin Jiaoyue was afraid that Princess Danyang would not know the rules of the restaurant, so she explained to her that the dishes in the restaurant were decided by the owner on the same day, and there were only ten dishes.


    ¡°All of them.¡± Princess Danyang put down the menu and said. Ten dishes are really too few.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jin Jiaoyue poured the tea for her and backed out.


    Those who come to Shiguang Restaurant are not short of money. Usually, they will order all ten dishes, so Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t care when he received the menu, and immediately started cooking.


    Jin Jiaoyue stood there and did not leave.


    Jiang Yunzhu noticed, ¡°What?¡± she asked.


    ¡°The guest upstairs is Princess Danyang.¡± Jin Jiaoyue lowered her voice.


    Jiang Yunzhu was startled, Princess Danyang, the current emperor¡¯s younger sister, and Shen Fengming¡¯s mother.


    But it was only for a moment, and soon she said, ¡°Yeah.¡± Then she continued to cook.


    Jin Jiaoyue was a little dazed, was that how she reacted? That¡¯s Princess Danyang, Dudu Shen¡¯s mother! She looked at Jiang Yunzhu carefully, and found that Jiang Yunzhu had really devoted herself to cooking, so she suddenly smiled.


    Sure enough, her boss is different. She has been a secret agent for so many years in vain, and she is not as good as her in terms of composure.


    Jin Jiaoyue felt a lot more relaxed, turned around and went out to greet the guests.


    Soon, Princess Danyang¡¯s dishes were served.


    Yangfang Tibetan fish, as the name suggests, is made by putting fish into large pieces of mutton and stewing together. Legend has it that this dish is related to Peng Zu. The fish and mutton are stewed together. It is very delicious, which is also the origin of the word ¡°xian¡±.


    There are many chefs who can cook this dish, and they claim to make it the most authentic.


    Princess Danyang had eaten this dish several times, but she didn¡¯t think it was as delicious as the legend said. She guessed that Peng Zu might have exaggerated the taste of this dish.


    Today, the Yang Fang Tibetan Fish¡­ She smells quite delicious, but I don¡¯t know how to eat it¡­


    She picked up a piece of mutton first. The mutton was made from the belly of the mutton. The mutton there was fat and lean, and after being stewed, it was crispy and soft.


    As soon as the mutton entered her mouth, Princess Danyang was stunned. Is this mutton?


    Chewing again, this is indeed mutton, but how can it be so delicious, the soft and smooth taste, and the umami taste that has surpassed the taste of mutton.


    She quickly picked up a piece of fish under the mutton, which had a umami taste unique to fish, but it was fresher than fish.


    Princess Danyang ate three or four pieces of mutton and fish in a row, and finally realized why Peng Zu called this dish ¡°fresh¡±.


    The next dish, chicken in clear soup, has been lost for hundreds of years. Some people say that the essence of this dish lies in Yue chicken, which is a kind of chicken specially bred by the royal family of Yue. After the Yue Kingdom was destroyed, this dish disappeared.


    Princess Danyang sandwiched a piece of chicken in the clear soup.


    ¡°Shi Zhenlu¡± records that the clearer the chicken bones, the clearer the soup, the later people can¡¯t make the bones crisper, so they think it¡¯s because of the chicken.


    But when Princess Danyang ate this dish, it was really as recorded in ¡°Shi Zhen Lu¡±, the chicken was white and the bone broth was fresh.


    Followed by southern fried eel, box tofu¡­


    Nanny Chang saw that Princess Danyang, who usually seldom eats in order to maintain her figure, ate one dish after another, and she was very surprised.

 Chapter 109

    Princess Danyang felt that her stomach was a little full, so she stopped the chopsticks. At this moment, she suddenly realized that she had eaten so much.


    ¡°Master, are you alright?¡± Nanny Chang asked worriedly. She had heard that some chefs would put something addictive into their meals, and diners would keep eating those meals after eating them. She was afraid that Princess Danyang would be caught off guard.


    Princess Danyang has also heard of that kind of thing, ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± She was sure that this meal was normal, but it was really delicious, so she couldn¡¯t help eating so much.


    As long as it¡¯s okay, Nanny Chang is relieved and at the same time curious, is this dish really so delicious?


    Princess Danyang smiled when she saw her expression, ¡°Try it,¡± she said.


    Nanny Chang has served her since she was a child, so she naturally treats her differently.


    ¡°master¡­¡±


    ¡°Let you taste it and you will taste it.¡±


    Nanny Chang picked up the chopsticks. There were ten dishes on the table. In fact, Princess Danyang only ate two or three bites of each dish before she was full. Nanny Chang took a piece of mutton from the mutton fish and put it in her mouth. In an instant, her eyes flashed in disbelief, why is this dish so fresh!


    She was reluctant to swallow what was in her mouth, she just wanted to taste its taste.


    ¡°You know now.¡± Princess Danyang said.


    Only then did Nanny Chang regain her senses, put down her chopsticks, and stood beside her.


    Princess Danyang looked at the drinks next to her. There were three glasses of wine, one was gorgeous and magnificent, the other was like fine nectar and jade dew, and the third was even more peculiar, with green smudges.


    She picked up the third cup and took a sip. The name of the wine was fluttering.


    After a long while, Princess Danyang put down her wine glass.


    Soon, Jin Jiaoyue was called into the box.


    ¡°I want to meet your chef.¡± Princess Danyang said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go and ask for you.¡± Jin Jiaoyue replied.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Princess Danyang nodded.


    Jin Jiaoyue got out of the box, and her steps became faster and faster, and she came to the backyard.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu had finished cooking the lunch and was resting.


    ¡°Boss.¡± Jin Jiaoyue called out, whispered about Princess Danyang, and then looked at Jiang Yunzhu, what is she going to do?


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t plan what to do. In fact, the day Mrs. Yang came, she thought about what to do if Princess Danyang or Master Shen came to the store one day.


    It¡¯s just not how, just let nature take its course. She didn¡¯t want to please them, and there was no need to avoid them on purpose.


    Thinking of this, she stood up and walked to Princess Danyang¡¯s box.


    The sound of knuckles knocking on the door was very crisp, and it could be heard that it was a girl knocking on the door.


    ¡°Come in.¡± Princess Danyang was a little nervous.


    Jiang Yunzhu pushed the door open, ¡°Guest, do you want to see me?¡±


    The moment she came in, Princess Danyang felt her eyes light up. Jiang Yunzhu is wearing a sky-blue skirt today, without any accessories on her body, and her black hair is slanted, but her skin is pink and her eyes are bright.


    Especially her comfortable temperament, people like it.


    Princess Danyang really didn¡¯t expect Jiang Yunzhu to be like this. She had thought that if she had something to do with her son, then she might be a charming little woman who was good at making soup, so she had captivated her son. Full of amorous feelings, so let the cycads bloom.


    Not at all.


    She looked Jiang Yunzhu up and down, not missing any details.


    Jiang Yunzhu let her look at her, neither humble nor overbearing, as if she was just a restaurant owner, waiting for the guests to speak.


    Her attitude made Princess Danyang uncertain. Could it be that she was thinking too much? Or she didn¡¯t know her identity, that¡¯s why she was so calm.


    ¡°Are you the chef of the restaurant?¡± Princess Danyang asked.


    ¡°Yes, he is also the owner of the restaurant.¡± Jiang Yunzhu replied.


    Princess Danyang wanted to ask her if she had anything to do with her son, but she stopped. She didn¡¯t want to have any more unpleasant troubles with Shen Fengming.


    After thinking for a moment, she asked, ¡°Can you be a Taibai duck?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yunzhu replied.


    ¡°Can you make a copy for me? I¡¯ll take it away.¡± Princess Danyang said. In fact, she saw this dish on the invitation before, and she was moved.


    Jiang Yunzhu was surprised, she called her here just for this matter?


    Princess Danyang said, ¡°My mother likes this dish very much, but I have changed many chefs, but none of them can make that kind of taste.¡±


    Princess Danyang¡¯s mother, the empress dowager? She¡¯s not¡­ no, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart skipped a beat, she suddenly remembered that the Queen Mother seemed to have died this summer in her dream.


    According to the ancestral system of the Xia Dynasty, after the death of the empress dowager, the empress will exchange the sun for the moon and hold a one-month national mourning. During the national mourning period, officials are not allowed to have feasts and feasts, nor are they allowed to marry, but the common people have no such taboo.


    Marquis Anping is a court official, so he naturally had to abide by this rule. No banquets were allowed within a month. At that time, Jiang Yunzhu was practicing cooking skills in Marquis Anping¡¯s mansion, so she had an impression.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought carefully about when the Empress Dowager died. She remembered that it seemed to be the end of July.


    It¡¯s the end of June, isn¡¯t that fast?


    Her complexion changed a few times.


    Originally, a high-ranking person like the Queen Mother had nothing to do with her, but she was Shen Fengming¡¯s grandmother. Although the royal family has been ruthless since ancient times, it is not uncommon for brothers Yan Qiang and father and son to kill each other, but Princess Danyang remembers that the Queen Mother likes to eat Taibai duck¡­


    Princess Danyang saw her strange expression and asked, ¡°Why?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu came back to her senses, ¡°There is no duck in the kitchen today, should the guests wait a while and I¡¯ll send someone to buy it, or come back tomorrow?¡± she asked.


    Princess Danyang was about to chat with her, ¡°I¡¯m fine, just wait a while.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu calculated the time, Taibai Ya took a lot of time, ¡°It may take more than an hour.¡±


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu got up, called Yundu, asked him to buy ducks, and told him the skills of picking ducks.


    Later, she wanted to go to the kitchen to prepare related things.


    ¡°It¡¯s not in a hurry. My mother must have had lunch by now. Just make the duck before dinner.¡± Princess Danyang said, beckoning Jiang Yunzhu to sit down.


    Jiang Yunzhu sat on the chair next to him.


    Her demeanor is calm, Princess Danyang is curious, her previous experience.


    ¡°Where are you from?¡± she asked.


    ¡°Changfeng Mansion.¡± Jiang Yunzhu replied.


    Isn¡¯t it Luzhou? Princess Danyang was slightly startled, but continued to ask, ¡°Are you new to the capital?¡±


    ¡°yes.¡±


    ¡°Who did you learn your skills from?¡±


    ¡­


    The two chatted for a while, and Princess Danyang seemed to understand Jiang Yunzhu better, but she was still not sure if she had anything to do with her son.


    At this time Yundu came back, and Jiang Yunzhu immediately stood up and became Taibai Duck.


    Taibai Duck is a famous dish in Tang Dynasty. You can tell from its name that this dish is related to poet Li Bai. According to legend, during his tenure in Sichuan, Li Bai especially liked to eat a local stuffed duck. Later Tang Xuanzong announced him to the court, and he thought that he would meet the Ming Lord, so he improved the way of this boring duck and dedicated it to Xuanzong.


    After Xuanzong finished eating, he was full of praise and named this dish ¡°Taibai Duck¡±.


    It¡¯s a pity that Li Bai was unhappy all his life, and later he resigned from office. This Taibai duck only left its shape, but few people knew its taste.


    Jiang Yunzhu also made the Taibai Duck she was satisfied with after many experiments based on ancient books and Li Bai¡¯s experience.


    Prepare the duck, put it into the altar together with aged Huadiao, Panax notoginseng and other ingredients, seal the mouth of the altar with tissue paper, steam for an hour, and the Taibai duck is ready.


    For this dish, it is best not to uncover the tissue paper on the mouth of the jar before eating, so Jiang Yunzhu put the jar directly into the food box and handed it to Princess Danyang.


    It was getting late, Princess Danyang asked someone to carry a food box, and went directly to the palace to meet the Queen Mother.


    Jiang Yunzhu was not sure whether the queen mother would like the Taibai duck she made, old man, sometimes all he misses is the old feeling.


    But she¡¯s done her best, so that¡¯s good.


    She picked up Simba and went to the back to rest.


    Today Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng came earlier than usual.


    Yang Sheng was still eating, and after eating and drinking two more glasses of wine, he left.


    When Shen Fengming was left, Jiang Yunzhu happened to have something to say to him.


    Simba seems to like Shen Fengming quite a bit, often when he comes, it will squat next to him, such as now.


    Jiang Yunzhu watched it interestingly, and said to Shen Fengming, ¡°Your mother came to the shop today.¡±


    Shen Fengming was about to hand Simba to Jiang Yunzhu, when he heard that, he paused, ¡°What¡¯s the matter with her?¡±


    ¡°Dinner, and then asked me to make a Taibai duck, and she took it to the empress dowager.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Shen Fengming frowned slightly, just eating?


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t continue to talk about it, but asked, ¡°Empress Dowager?¡±


    ¡°She has forgotten a lot of things, especially the things that happened recently, she often forgets quickly, but it¡¯s the things in the past, she sometimes remembers them very clearly.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu listened, why did it look a bit like Alzheimer¡¯s disease, ¡°Did you see the doctor?¡±


    ¡°The imperial doctor has seen it. There is nothing wrong with my body, but I often forget things.¡±


    ¡°Where is Wu Yixian, what does Wu Yixian say?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°Last year, I was seen by Medical Immortal Wu. He used needles and prescribed medicine, but it only slowed down the symptoms. Later, the emperor¡¯s grandmother said that she was not sick and didn¡¯t want to take medicine and needles. Everyone could only rely on her.¡± Shen Fengming explained.


    But Jiang Yunzhu remembered the dream that the empress dowager would die at the end of July this year. It stands to reason that Alzheimer¡¯s disease would not kill people so soon. Is that¡­a sudden illness, or some kind of accident?


    Seeing her worried face, Shen Fengming looked gentle, ¡°The emperor¡¯s grandmother is very kind to me. My father and mother often quarrel, and the emperor¡¯s grandmother often calls me into the palace, saying that she wants me to accompany her, but she is actually worried about me.


    She often told me not to blame my mother. ¡°


    Having said this, Shen Fengming stopped. In fact, he later understood why his mother married his father, to win over the Shen family, and to Qinglong Emperor¡¯s throne.


    He lowered his long eyelashes, raised them again, and looked at Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t have time to ponder his thoughts, so he asked directly, ¡°Do you know where Wu Yixian is now?¡±


    Her idea is to ask Wu Yixian to help the Empress Dowager to have a look, that¡¯s all she can do. Of course, when Wu Yixian came, she would discuss with him to find a safe solution.


    ¡°I know.¡± Shen Fengming replied.


    At this time, Princess Danyang had already entered the palace with a food box and met the empress dowager.

 Chapter 110

    The empress dowager was very happy to see Princess Danyang, ¡°Rong Xin.¡± Princess Danyang wanted to salute, she immediately called her name, beckoned her to pass.


    Princess Danyang got up and came to the Empress Dowager.


    The Empress Dowager held her hand, looked her up and down, and said, ¡°It seems to be a little haggard, and it must be because of Feng Ming¡¯s marriage. He doesn¡¯t like Princess Huining, so let him go.¡±


    Princess Danyang¡¯s complexion is getting uglier, Princess Huining, that was four years ago. No wonder she said she was haggard, and she was four years older, but in her eyes, it seemed that one day had passed, but she was not haggard.


    ¡°Mother¡¯s queen.¡± Princess Danyang wanted to say that Princess Huining is already married, and even the child is two years old. Seeing the empress dowager¡¯s concerned eyes, she swallowed back the words and only nodded.


    The Empress Dowager was a little surprised to see her like this, didn¡¯t she force Feng Ming to marry Princess Huining yesterday? Why, she figured it out?


    ¡°It¡¯s good if you figure it out.¡± The Empress Dowager said relievedly, ¡°Actually, I have always felt sorry for you and let you marry into the Shen family. That child Fengming has ideas, and it¡¯s useless if you force him, but it will make your mother and child more separated.¡± further away.


    Then you will regret it as much as I do, then¡­¡± The Empress Dowager couldn¡¯t continue, because she saw Princess Danyang covering her nose with her hands, with tears in her eyes.


    The empress dowager hugged her into her arms. Princess Danyang was not young anymore, but in her eyes, she was still the little girl who surrounded her, her daughter.


    Her ashamed daughter.


    Princess Danyang really wanted to cry. She was really unhappy after being married to the Shen family for so many years. Moreover, what the empress dowager said seems to be right. For so many years, she forced her son to marry like a demon, but he became more and more cold, and he didn¡¯t even say a word to her except to ask for peace.


    for what? For the good of my son, in fact, also to prove that my choice was right back then. Marrying into the Shen family brought supreme power to the emperor¡¯s brother, mother, and herself.


    There were a lot of thoughts and feelings in my heart, but Princess Danyang still didn¡¯t cry in the end. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, broke free from the empress dowager¡¯s arms, and said with a smile, ¡°Mother, I brought you a Taibai duck, do you want to try it?¡±


    ¡°Oh? Taibai Duck, but Chef Feng made it? If he made it, I wouldn¡¯t eat it.¡± The Empress Dowager said.


    Chef Feng was the royal chef in the palace four years ago.


    ¡°No, you will know after you try it.¡± Princess Danyang said.


    Nanny Chang immediately opened the food box, and saw a white porcelain jar inside, covered with tissue paper. The tissue paper was tightly attached to the mouth of the jar without a single gap.


    Nanny Chang carefully lifted the lid, and suddenly, a smell of wine mixed with the smell of duck meat rushed out of the altar.


    ¡°It¡¯s Song Guang, he¡¯s cured?¡± the Empress Dowager asked pleasantly after smelling the fragrance.


    Princess Danyang smiled wryly, Song Guang died five years ago, where could she find her.


    At this time, a palace servant brought bowls and chopsticks to serve the Empress Dowager.


    The Empress Dowager took a bite of the duck in the bowl. It was soft, glutinous and smooth. She scooped up a spoonful of the soup, and felt that the soup was delicious and mellow, which seemed to whet her appetite.


    While eating, she admired, ¡°Song Guang¡¯s craftsmanship has improved again, and I will reward him with more money later.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Princess Danyang agreed. Seeing that she was eating to her heart¡¯s content, after a while, a bowl of soup and duck meat was exhausted, and she helped her fill another bowl herself.


    ¡°You can eat it too. This Taibai duck is the best he makes.¡± The empress dowager laughed.


    ¡°The empress dowager hasn¡¯t been this happy for a long time.¡± Nanny Qi, who was serving the empress dowager next to her, said happily.


    Princess Danyang is also happy, but she really can¡¯t eat this too white duck. She ate too much in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s shop today, and she hasn¡¯t finished digesting it yet.


    It was like this in the palace. Outside the palace, Jiang Yunzhu wrote a letter to Wu Yixian and asked Shen Fengming to deliver it to him.


    That night, Princess Danyang lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She wondered for a while whether her son had something to do with Jiang Yunzhu, and then wondered, if so, what was the relationship, did her son finally like the girl?


    It doesn¡¯t feel like it again.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Shen Dashi asked because she couldn¡¯t sleep.


    Princess Danyang wanted to discuss it with him, but when she saw his serious face, she didn¡¯t want to talk to him.


    She turned over and turned her back to Grand Master Shen, thinking for herself.


    At Sishi the next day, Time Restaurant was packed and ready to open for business.


    At this moment, two fast horses came from the other side of the street.


    Jin Jiaoyue frowned when she saw it. These two horses¡­why do they feel like something is going to happen.


    At this time, the two horses had already arrived in front of the restaurant, and the riders on the horses were dressed in vigorous attire, exactly the attire of the Imperial Forest Army.


    ¡°Are you from Time Private Restaurant?¡± the man asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m the store manager.¡± Jin Jiaoyue said.


    But the man took out a token, ¡°The emperor ordered the chef of the restaurant to enter the palace.¡±


    Jin Jiaoyue¡¯s heart sank, ¡°But what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    The man was a little anxious, and only urged, ¡°Where is the chef in your shop, follow me into the palace quickly.¡±


    Jin Jiaoyue had no choice but to go in and tell Jiang Yunzhu about it, but she secretly signaled to Zhan Changchuan and the others that if the situation was wrong, they would immediately protect Jiang Yunzhu and escape.


    Zhan Changchuan and the others understood, and while quietly staring at the two people, they held the weapons on their bodies.


    The two imperial guards felt inexplicably cold. But this is summer! What are they cold.


    When Jiang Yunzhu heard that the emperor was going to call her into the palace, she also panicked. What¡¯s going on, did something wrong with the duck yesterday? No, if something goes wrong, she should have been arrested yesterday.


    ¡°Boss, otherwise you can go through the back door and go to Governor Shen.¡± Jin Jiaoyue said.


    She believed that Governor Shen would protect Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu shook her head, she didn¡¯t know what happened, she ran away first, and then became unreasonable.


    She thought about the recent things carefully, and there was nothing wrong with it, so she didn¡¯t have to worry so much.


    Thinking of this, she walked out.


    ¡°Boss.¡± Jin Jiaoyue said anxiously.


    Soon, Jiang Yunzhu came to the door.


    Seeing her, the two imperial guards were a little surprised, ¡°Are you the chef of this restaurant?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yunzhu replied with a voice like spring water.


    Seeing that she was a beautiful girl, the two imperial guards softened their voices, ¡°The emperor called you into the palace.¡± Then they added, ¡°The empress dowager doesn¡¯t want to eat or drink when she wakes up this morning.¡±


    Did he call her into the palace to cook? Jiang Yunzhu heard the meaning of his words, and her heart dropped.


    ¡°Girl please hurry up.¡± The man said anxiously, the emperor is still waiting!


    A few days ago, Jiang Yunzhu bought a carriage, which was just in use now. Zhan Changchuan drove the carriage, and Shiliu followed Jiang Yunzhu to the palace.


    All the way was unimpeded, and soon, the carriage entered the palace and stopped, and the two imperial guards got off their horses, and took Jiang Yunzhu to the empress dowager¡¯s bedroom.


    And here, Jin Jiaoyue hurried to deliver a letter to Shen Fengming.


    At this time, the emperor, empress dowager, and princess Danyang were all in the empress dowager¡¯s bedroom.


    What¡¯s going on? This morning, the palace people served the empress dowager for breakfast as usual, but the empress dowager didn¡¯t want to eat it when she saw the meal.


    The empress dowager didn¡¯t have to eat breakfast, that¡¯s okay, this matter soon alarmed the emperor.


    When the emperor came, there was nothing he could do. Later, Madam Qi guessed whether the empress dowager wanted to eat yesterday¡¯s duck. According to her recollection, last night the Empress Dowager ate the Taibai Duck brought by Princess Danyang, and she liked it very much. She ate two bowls in a row, and even muttered something before going to bed at night.


    Of course, everyone didn¡¯t care. What happened today, when the empress dowager woke up tomorrow, she would usually forget about it.


    But this time¡­she was just guessing.


    As long as there is a guess, Emperor Qinglong immediately sent for Princess Danyang and told her about it.


    Princess Danyang was very surprised and asked the Empress Dowager, ¡°Queen, do you want to eat Taibai duck?¡±


    ¡°Taibai Duck? Song Guang is not sick.¡± The Empress Dowager said.


    Princess Danyang is not sure either.


    Emperor Qinglong didn¡¯t let go of any possibility, and immediately sent someone to pass on the chef who made the duck yesterday, so the previous incident happened.


    Jiang Yunzhu stepped into the hall and saluted the emperor, empress dowager, and Princess Danyang.


    She behaved well, her expression was respectful but not flustered, she bowed gracefully like willows blowing in the wind.


    She lowered her head, Princess Danyang couldn¡¯t see her expression, but she was so calm and calm, Princess Danyang liked it in her heart.


    Emperor Qinglong was also looking at Jiang Yunzhu. He didn¡¯t expect that the chef was such a beautiful woman. He was condescending, and he could see half of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s face, and he felt very soft and charming.


    Although Princess Danyang was not sure about the relationship between Shen Fengming and Jiang Yunzhu, she definitely wanted to help Jiang Yunzhu, so she immediately said, ¡°The empress dowager doesn¡¯t like to eat, but she likes the Taibai duck you made yesterday very much. Would you like to help the empress dowager?¡± Do it once?¡±


    She spoke softly.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. Just cooking.


    ¡°Then you go.¡± Princess Danyang said.


    Jiang Yunzhu went down.


    Emperor Qinglong and Princess Danyang remained in the palace.


    Emperor Qinglong frowned slightly, how could he feel that Princess Danyang treated this chef unusually.


    ¡°She was suddenly called into the palace because of me. A girl must have been quite shocked.¡± Princess Danyang explained.


    Emperor Qinglong nodded.


    Jiang Yunzhu went to the imperial dining room. At this time, the imperial dining room was preparing the lunch meal, busy but in order.


    Jiang Yunzhu once visited the imperial dining room in her dream, and also learned and discussed with an imperial chef named Dong here, and benefited a lot.


    Now that she came here again, she looked around, wanting to see if that Dong Yuchu was there.


    There were so many people, she didn¡¯t see them at a glance.


    ¡°Girl, just tell me what you need.¡± Nanny Qi said to Jiang Yunzhu.


    On the way here, Jiang Yunzhu had already thought about what to cook. Taibai Duck was for cooking, but the Empress Dowager didn¡¯t seem to have eaten in the morning. For an old man, eating Taibai Duck on an empty stomach was a bit greasy.


    ¡°I need¡­¡± She was not polite, and said what she needed one by one.


    Nanny Qi immediately asked people to prepare, and soon everything was ready.


    Jiang Yunzhu washed his hands and started cooking.


    At this time, Shen Fengming also got the news of her entering the palace, so he immediately got up and rode his horse into the palace.

 Chapter 111

    Here, the empress dowager¡¯s bedroom is getting more and more lively, the empress dowager doesn¡¯t want to eat and drink, even the emperor is alarmed, the empress naturally wants to visit and serve around.


    Not long after she arrived, Concubine Wu brought her daughter.


    When the two met, there were smiles on their faces, and no one knew what was going on in their hearts.


    ¡°Imperial Grandmother, how do you feel?¡± Concubine Wu Guifei saluted the Empress Dowager, motioned for Xiao Liyu to step forward, and Xiao Liyu immediately asked the Empress Dowager with concern.


    ¡°You are?¡± The Empress Dowager did not recognize Xiao Liyu. In her memory, Xiao Liyu was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, which didn¡¯t match up with the one in front of her.


    Xiao Liyu¡¯s face froze, ¡°Grandmother, I am Liyu!¡±


    ¡°Liyu, are you Liyu?¡± The Empress Dowager seemed to be in disbelief, and looked at Xiao Liyu carefully. Then she put her hands on her head, looking very troubled.


    ¡°Princess Ten, don¡¯t back down yet.¡± The queen said at this moment, her voice was slightly cold. Then she said to Concubine Wu, ¡°Grand Concubine, you should know what¡¯s going on with Empress Mother, aren¡¯t you deliberately embarrassing Empress Mother!¡±


    This is such a big hat, and Concubine Wu immediately said, ¡°The imperial doctor said that it is good for her to let the queen mother see the old people and old things from the past. Liyu grew up in the palace, and she is filial to the queen mother. Shouldn¡¯t she be allowed to serve the queen mother?¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you see her come to serve the queen mother before?¡± The queen retorted lightly. Does that mean that when the emperor comes, she comes?


    ¡°How does the queen know¡­¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Emperor Qinglong shouted in a low voice, arguing in court and in the harem.


    The queen and Concubine Wu bowed their heads to plead guilty, and Xiao Liyu also stepped aside.


    At this moment, the palace servants reported, and Shen Fengming asked to see him.


    ¡°Let him in.¡± Emperor Qinglong said. He thought that Shen Fengming came to visit because he heard that the Empress Dowager didn¡¯t think about eating, so he didn¡¯t think much about it.


    Princess Danyang next to her was shocked, her son came, did he come to visit the empress dowager, or?


    Shen Fengming entered the room and saluted.


    When he saluted the empress dowager, the empress dowager pulled him up and motioned him to sit beside her.


    ¡°Why are you free to enter the palace today?¡± She asked.


    ¡°I heard that the imperial grandmother didn¡¯t eat in the morning.¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal, it¡¯s worth your trip. It just feels like you forgot something and lost your appetite for a while.¡± The Empress Dowager smiled, ¡°Have you eaten yet? If not, stay for dinner.¡±


    Then she said to Emperor Qinglong and the others, ¡°I have alarmed so many of you.¡± That meant, it was time to see off the guests.


    But she still held Shen Fengming¡¯s hand, which shows her preference for him.


    Concubine Wu was annoyed in her heart, but her face was full of smiles, she joked, ¡°As soon as Fengming came, the Empress Mother wanted to have a meal, as expected, the Empress Mother still loves him the most.¡±


    The queen glanced at her and said nothing.


    Concubine Wu turned her head and said to Emperor Qinglong, ¡°Your Majesty, it¡¯s time for lunch soon. The concubine¡¯s small kitchen has made your favorite stewed ham with fish maw. Would you like to try it?


    For the queen mother, let Liyu stay and serve, and let her do her best. ¡°


    Concubine Wu made a good plan when she said this, one, she invited the emperor to her palace, and two, if Xiao Liyu stayed, wouldn¡¯t there be a chance to get close to Shen Fengming?


    It seems that she is not dead yet. The heart of marrying Xiao Liyu into the Shen family is also true. Once she has the help of the Shen family, of course she will be even more powerful. The queen gritted her teeth secretly, it¡¯s a pity that she didn¡¯t have a daughter to marry, otherwise it wouldn¡¯t be her turn.


    But soon, she laughed again, she had a good idea, but would Shen Fengming marry? Just bring shame on yourself.


    Emperor Qinglong stood up, the empress followed suit, and Concubine Wu also left, leaving the empress dowager, princess Danyang, Shen Fengming and Xiao Liyu.


    Xiao Liyu looked at Shen Fengming, thinking about how to go and talk.


    It just so happened that the palace servant brought in tea at this time, she immediately stood up, took it and handed it to Shen Fengming, ¡°Cousin, drink some tea.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Shen Fengming took the tea, but put it aside without drinking it.


    Xiao Liyu looked at the cup of tea and tentatively said, ¡°Cousin, I recently got a good horse from the Western Regions, when you are free, help me to have a look.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m busy with business, I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t have time. The Sixth Prince is an expert among them, the princess should ask him for help.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Xiao Liyu bit her lips tightly, her face full of grievances. What on earth is he thinking? She has already put down her figure so much.


    Princess Danyang is drinking tea, she knows what Concubine Wu Gui and Xiao Liyu are thinking, and wants to emulate her when she was young, but is the current situation the same as they were then?


    She also didn¡¯t want Shen Fengming to marry Xiao Liyu, so she just watched and didn¡¯t speak.


    The empress dowager was talking to Shen Fengming, while Princess Danyang was enjoying herself, only Xiao Liyu seemed redundant.


    When had she ever had this before, puffed up, and she stood up.


    Princess Danyang looked at her.


    ¡°Grandmother, Aunt, I¡­¡± Xiao Liyu¡¯s face was pale.


    ¡°You are not feeling well, just go back and rest, the queen mother has me here.¡± Princess Danyang said empathetically.


    Xiao Liyu gritted her teeth and left.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu had already prepared the meal, and Nanny Qi came in and asked the empress dowager if she wanted to eat.


    ¡°Set the meal.¡± The Empress Dowager ordered, she was just hungry. Then she said to Princess Danyang and Shen Fengming, ¡°It¡¯s rare that you are all here, and have dinner with me.¡±


    ¡°yes.¡±


    After a while, the rice was served, and the one in the middle was the Taibai duck, and there was lotus leaf porridge and a few side dishes left, which were just right for the empress dowager to eat.


    ¡°I just want to eat this Taibai duck. Song Guang¡¯s illness is cured?¡± The Empress Dowager said happily when she saw the Taibai duck, as if she remembered something.


    ¡°Queen, this Taibai Duck is not made by Song Guang, but by a chef surnamed Jiang.¡± Unlike yesterday, Princess Danyang decided to explain it to the Empress Dowager today.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t Song Guang make it?¡± The Empress Dowager took a bite of the duck, ¡°It seems to be better than Song Guang¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°Let Miss Jiang come here.¡± Princess Danyang ordered.


    After a while, Jiang Yunzhu entered the hall and greeted everyone.


    ¡°It turned out to be a girl.¡± The empress dowager waved at Jiang Yunzhu, beckoning her to come over, and looked her up and down.


    Jiang Yunzhu replied a few words from the empress dowager with ease and courtesy.


    ¡°The dishes are good, and the people are good.¡± The Empress Dowager finally said.


    Jiang Yunzhu backed away winkingly.


    Princess Danyang paid attention to Shen Fengming¡¯s expression as soon as Jiang Yunzhu came in, but he usually had a cold face, and it was too difficult to see something from his face.


    When Jiang Yunzhu left, Princess Danyang was still suspicious.


    After the meal, the Empress Dowager wanted to rest, and Princess Danyang left with Shen Fengming.


    Under the long palace wall, Princess Danyang finally couldn¡¯t help asking Shen Fengming, ¡°What do you think of that Miss Jiang? I think she has very good looks and character. How about taking her as a concubine for you?¡± Yes, concubine She felt that with the family status of the Shen family, accepting Jiang Yunzhu as a concubine¡¯s room was not wronged her.


    Shen Fengming heard this, but looked straight at Princess Danyang, ¡°Don¡¯t bother mother, if I like someone, I will definitely marry her.¡±


    He spoke loudly, and after finishing speaking, he turned and left regardless of Princess Danyang¡¯s reaction.


    Princess Danyang stood there, annoyed for a moment, did Shen Fengming actually want to marry a cook as his wife? Didn¡¯t their Shen family become the laughing stock of everyone? For a moment, he felt that Shen Fengming might not mean that.


    Here, Jiang Yunzhu left the palace in a carriage. Suddenly, there was the sound of horseshoes behind him, and then Zhan Changchuan said, ¡°I have seen Dudu Shen.¡±


    he came? Jiang Yunzhu raised the curtain of the carriage, and the one sitting outside immediately was not Shen Fengming.


    Today¡¯s Dudu Shen still has a handsome face and a handsome demeanor.


    ¡°How about I ask Grandmother to give us a marriage order?¡± Shen Fengming suddenly asked.


    Jiang Yunzhu originally wanted to say a lot to him, but he suppressed them all with this sentence, is he serious?


    Shen Fengming was naturally serious and thoughtful.


    ¡°Can the empress dowager agree?¡± Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart was pounding.


    ¡°You agreed?¡± Shen Fengming only asked her this sentence. As long as she agrees, he will persuade the empress dowager.


    Jiang Yunzhu choked, do you want to agree? She doesn¡¯t seem ready yet. Moreover, she seems to prefer life in Time Restaurant.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you back.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at him, there was no displeasure on his face.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± she said.


    After they left, three people came from the street next to them. They were Lin Ting¡¯an, Lin Qing and Jiang Yunxiu.


    Princess Danyang was not the only one who noticed Shi Shi Restaurant because the governor of Jingzhao was demoted. After Lin Ting¡¯an entered Beijing, he had actually been secretly looking for Jiang Yunzhu, but for some reason, he never found it.


    After inquiring about the situation of Time Restaurant, he was almost certain that Jiang Yunzhu must be there.


    When he came out today, one of the things he did was to meet Jiang Yunzhu at the Time Restaurant, but it was a pity that Jiang Yunzhu had entered the palace, so his trip was in vain.


    However, he met her and Shen Fengming here, and the two talked very intimately.


    Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s eyes darkened.


    Jiang Yunxiu also saw Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Fengming, she was both surprised and terrified. Surprised that Jiang Yunzhu also came to the capital, terrified, she followed Lin Ting¡¯an these days, and found that after he came to the capital from Luzhou, there was an extra painting in the study, and the painting was Jiang Yunzhu. She stood under the sky full of fireworks, Amazingly beautiful.


    ¡°Master, Dudu Shen is investigating our people recently.¡± Lin Qing noticed Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s expression, and reminded him boldly. In his opinion, it¡¯s not worth fighting against Shen Fengming for a woman.


    Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s voice was cold, ¡°After you go back, go and receive the punishment yourself.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Qing quickly knelt down.


    Jiang Yunxiu was there stupidly, Dudu Shen, she followed Lin Ting¡¯an these days, and learned a lot of things that she didn¡¯t know before, Xia Chao can be called Dudu Shen, only Qilin Wei Dudu Shen Fengming.


    Based on what Lin Ting¡¯an and Lin Qing said just now, it was not difficult for her to guess that the one just now might be Shen Fengming.


    He and Jiang Yunzhu¡­ She knew about it, but they didn¡¯t know about it when they were in Wuling County.


    She was angry in her heart, since Jiang Yunzhu had already climbed a high branch, why did she provoke the eldest son!


    It is said that Shen Fengming is vicious and violent, killing people like hemp, she must have a hard time, so¡­ After making such malicious guesses, she finally felt a little more balanced in her heart.


    At this time, Lin Ting¡¯an was going to the palace. He was going to the palace to meet the sixth prince.

 Chapter 112

    Xiao Liyu returned to Chonghua Palace, smashed things all over the floor, and then lay down on the bed and cried.


    At this time, the emperor was still in the Chonghua Palace. The palace people were afraid of alarming the emperor and did not dare to go to Concubine Wu, so they called the sixth prince.


    The sixth prince is the one who most resembles Emperor Qinglong among the many princes. No matter in appearance or talent, it is no wonder that Emperor Qinglong loves him so much.


    He entered the door, let the maids and eunuchs retreat first, and then came to Xiao Liyu¡¯s bed.


    ¡°Why, that person didn¡¯t bully you again?¡± the sixth prince asked. The person he mentioned naturally refers to Shen Fengming.


    Xiao Liyu raised her head and said with red eyes, ¡°Brother Huang, do you think he doesn¡¯t like women at all?¡± That¡¯s why he always treats her like this.


    The sixth prince tapped the table with his fingers, it was indeed rumored so.


    While the two were talking, Concubine Wu sent Emperor Qinglong away and came to the side hall.


    As soon as she entered the door, she saw the debris all over the floor, and her face darkened, ¡°What is this for? If you feel wronged, you smash things, and you will smash them in the future!¡±


    It seems that I spoiled you too much before. ¡°


    ¡°Mother Concubine.¡± Xiao Liyu threw herself into her arms and began to cry.


    ¡°Mother and concubine, it seems that the way to marry the Shen family is not going to work.¡± The sixth prince said.


    Concubine Wu was depressed, and she also felt the same, but she just didn¡¯t want to give up.


    ¡°What are your plans?¡± she asked.


    ¡°As I mentioned to you before, Prince Qinghe¡¯s young master is about the same age as the imperial sister, and he looks very talented.¡± The sixth prince said eloquently. There is another thing he didn¡¯t say, King Qinghe is also one of the few people in the court who have not yet stood in line, and marrying him can draw him into his camp.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to marry.¡± Before Wu Guifei said anything, Xiao Liyu said in surprise. She knew that Prince Qinghe¡¯s son slept in flowers and willows all day long, and lingered in brothels, it made her sick to think about it.


    ¡°This matter is beyond your control.¡± Concubine Wu Gui said in a deep voice. If not, Xiao Liyu can only marry Xiao Xun, the son of King Qinghe.


    ¡°Mother Concubine.¡± Xiao Liyu couldn¡¯t believe it, ¡°Don¡¯t you love me?¡± Marrying her to Xiao Xun is to push her into the pit of fire.


    ¡°I used to dote on you too much, which made you like this. You didn¡¯t learn any skills, and you would smash things to vent your anger. This matter is related to the fate of the three of us in the future. Think about it, if your emperor brother fights But the prince, when the prince ascends the throne, will he be able to accommodate us?


    It doesn¡¯t matter who you marry at that time, they will all end up being torn to pieces.


    On the contrary, you bear with it and help your imperial brother. When your imperial brother succeeds, you can do whatever you want. ¡± Concubine Wu said.


    Xiao Liyu kept shaking her head, ¡°No, no, I won¡¯t marry, I won¡¯t marry.¡±


    ¡°Then you let Shen Fengming marry you. Otherwise, you have to marry.¡± Concubine Wu Gui seemed to have finally made up her mind.


    ¡°Mother Concubine!¡± Xiao Liyu begged.


    Concubine Wu was unmoved at all.


    ¡°Brother Huang, brother Huang, please help me, you love me the most, you should know that Xiao Xun is romantic.¡± Xiao Liyu suddenly turned to the sixth prince and said aggrievedly.


    The sixth prince frowned, ¡°Liyu, you are my imperial sister, after marrying Xiao Xun, he dare not do anything to you. You can do whatever you want with those women.¡±


    Xiao Liyu looked at the sixth prince with wide eyes, what was she doing with those women, she didn¡¯t like Xiao Xun at all.


    ¡°Brother Huang, I beg you, I really don¡¯t want to marry Xiao Xun, please help me, except for this matter, I will obey you.¡± She cried.


    The sixth prince avoided her eyes.


    ¡°You, you¡­¡± Xiao Liyu couldn¡¯t believe it. These two people are the concubine mother and the emperor who love her the most. Didn¡¯t they all obey her before? Why are you forcing her to a dead end now?


    Did they treat her well in the past? It was all fake? Just want her to marry that Xiao Xun, in exchange for power for them?


    Xiao Liyu suddenly stood up and rushed out.


    ¡°Liyu.¡± The sixth prince stood up, wanting to chase after her.


    ¡°Let you calm down and figure it out.¡± Wu Guifei said, ¡°It¡¯s time for her to recognize her identity.¡± Princess, this identity not only represents glory, but also has corresponding responsibilities.


    In the past few years, Xia Dynasty has not made peace with Xirong or Beidi, otherwise, all the princesses would be sent there, and none of them would come back alive.


    Compared with them, Xiao Liyu is considered lucky.


    The sixth prince sat down again, feeling a little unbearable.


    At this time, the palace people came to report that Lin Ting¡¯an, the son of Anping Hou, asked to see him.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be right there.¡± The sixth prince said. Afterwards, he was about to leave with Concubine Wu, when suddenly he said, ¡°Concubine Mu, what do you think of Lin Ting¡¯an?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Lin Tingan, Concubine Wu had met once, but she was quite a character. But isn¡¯t he already on their side?


    The sixth prince snorted coldly, ¡°Marquis Anping has never shown up. Lin Ting¡¯an seems to want to help me, but in fact he is still holding back. The concubine mother also knows that some people, who appear to be loyal, have actually secretly communicated with the prince.


    The last time about the Wulingshan Iron Mine¡­¡± Speaking of this, he became annoyed. He did it flawlessly, but he was betrayed by someone, so he went to the emperor, and finally fell into Shen Fengming¡¯s hands.


    Just a little bit, he is doomed, so now he doesn¡¯t dare to trust the people below.


    ¡°What do you mean, Lin Ting¡¯an is¡­¡± Wu Guifei asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t mean that. However, if Liyu marries Lin Ting¡¯an, many things will be resolved.¡± The sixth prince said.


    ¡°Where is King Qinghe?¡± Concubine Wu hesitated.


    ¡°Lin Ting¡¯an wants to marry Liyu, so he has to show some sincerity.¡± The sixth prince said.


    Concubine Wu understood what he meant, and this is a way. Moreover, Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s character and appearance are far superior to Xiao Xun¡¯s, and Xiao Liyu¡¯s marriage to him can be regarded as a good destination.


    ¡°You just go and do it.¡± Wu Guifei said.


    The sixth prince resigned and went to see Lin Ting¡¯an.


    The two went to the hunting grounds in the western suburbs to hunt together. When they were free, he mentioned Xiao Liyu.


    How clever Lin Tingan was, he immediately guessed what he meant. Marry Xiao Liyu? He immediately thought of Jiang Yunzhu. But Jiang Yunzhu is just a restaurant owner, even if he likes her, he will not marry her as his wife, and he believes that Shen Fengming will not either.


    See now you know, he kept her outside, just like the outer room.


    But, if he really married Xiao Liyu¡­


    Thoughts in his heart changed, but his face didn¡¯t show it, he didn¡¯t refuse, he didn¡¯t agree.


    The sixth prince didn¡¯t continue this topic, but invited Lin Ting¡¯an to go for a lake tour tomorrow, and he would bring Xiao Liyu with him then.


    Lin Tingan agreed.


    Early the next morning, the sixth prince brought Xiao Liyu to meet Lin Ting¡¯an.


    Xiao Liyu¡¯s eyes were a bit swollen, she didn¡¯t want to come at all, but the sixth prince said that if she came, maybe she didn¡¯t have to marry Xiao Xun, she just came. Seeing Lin Ting¡¯an, she turned her face away.


    What she cared about in her heart was still Shen Fengming.


    Lin Ting¡¯an has already inquired about Xiao Liyu¡¯s affairs, so he naturally knows why she is like this.


    She ignored him, and he was so happy, chatting with the sixth prince.


    The three seem to be in harmony.


    By the lake, Jiang Yunxiu stood there, devastated. She already knew that the sixth prince intended to marry Xiao Liyu to Lin Ting¡¯an, and Lin Ting¡¯an came out to swim the lake with the two of them today, which could explain something.


    Jiang Yunxiu didn¡¯t understand why Xiao Liyu appeared again. In the dream, didn¡¯t Lin Ting¡¯an marry Jiang Yunzhu as the young wife of the Hou Fu?


    Xiao Liyu, that is the daughter of Concubine Wu, the tenth princess of the Xia Dynasty, how can I compete with her?


    For a moment, Jiang Yunxiu was wronged and resentful again, why, why everything seemed to have changed after she changed lives with Jiang Yunzhu!


    The empress dowager seemed to have forgotten the Taibai duck that Jiang Yunzhu made with her the next day, and she didn¡¯t think about eating anymore. Princess Danyang had a lump in her heart, and she never went to the Time Restaurant or mentioned Jiang Yunzhu in front of the Empress Dowager. Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s life seemed to have returned to normal.


    Boss Luo¡¯s fleet came back today, bringing back a lot of seafood. Five hundred miles northwest of the capital is Bohai Bay, where Boss Luo¡¯s fleet docks.


    In order to build a good relationship with Jiang Yunzhu, Boss Luo sent people to transport the seafood to the capital overnight on an ice truck.


    So the next morning, Jiang Yunzhu saw two carts of very fresh seafood.


    There are crabs that are ¡°majestic and majestic, with tongues, swords, lips, and guns.¡± There are also sea urchins covered in thorns, octopuses crawling around, and sea fish of various colors and shapes. Some sea fish Jiang Yunzhu knows, and some she knows. I haven¡¯t even seen it.


    Seeing Lie Xinxi, Jiang Yunzhu said to Jin Jiaoyue, ¡°Today¡¯s menu is seafood, you can inform those who have reserved seats, if they don¡¯t want to eat seafood, they can change the date for three days later.


    By the way, some people cannot eat seafood, so ask them whether they have eaten seafood before and whether they have any discomfort. If not, you can come to eat today. ¡°


    Jiang Yunzhu knows that some people are allergic to seafood. In this era, medical skills are backward. If someone has a severe allergy, they may die, and it will be troublesome, so it must be confirmed.


    Jin Jiaoyue actually saw someone in Qilinwei who had rashes all over her body after eating seafood, so she knew the seriousness of this matter and immediately agreed to do it.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at the seafood and moved her index finger.


    For the big swimming crabs, the female crabs are not full of roe at the beginning of July, but the male crabs are already fat and suitable for eating.


    In the morning, cook a pot of seafood porridge with crabs. The rice porridge is bubbling in the pot, and the crabs gradually turn from green to red.


    Xue Jing had been in Wuling County before, and he had only seen small river crabs. It was the first time he saw such a large sea crab, and he was amazed.


    After smelling the smell, Yundu and the others also came outside the kitchen, looking inside while swallowing.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu started to make sea urchins, steamed eggs with sea urchins, she likes them!


    It¡¯s just that this sea urchin is quite difficult to handle. It has a lot of thorns on the outside, which will **** your hands if you are not careful.


    ¡°Boss, I¡¯m coming.¡± Zhang He said. He was very interested in this strange looking thing.


    Jiang Yunzhu was very happy and told him how to deal with sea urchins.


    Then she saw that the knife was flickering, and the sea urchins were handled neatly and neatly.


    ¡°Amazing.¡± Jiang Yunzhu praised.


    Zhang He¡¯s face turned reddish.


    ¡°Boss, is this really edible?¡± Jin Jiaoyue came back at this time, looking at the dark sea urchin full of spikes and asked. She has eaten crabs before, but this thing looks too weird.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, and will know later.

 Chapter 113

    After processing the sea urchin, I saw some golden flesh in the shell full of spikes. At this time, beat a few eggs, add an appropriate amount of water and stir well, then pour the egg liquid into the sea urchin shell and steam it until it is cooked.


    Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Yunzhu fried a few white cured fish, and breakfast was ready.


    I saw a pot of thick and crystal-clear crab porridge, sprinkled with chives on top, and gave off bursts of tangy aroma. The sea urchin steamed egg has been out of the pan, and the light yellow egg liquid has solidified. Put a few drops of sesame oil on it, and the sharp spines set off it, but it has a very attractive feeling.


    The fried white fish is golden and crispy.


    Xue Jing also made several cold side dishes, and the breakfast for the table was extraordinarily sumptuous.


    ¡°Let¡¯s eat together.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. That day the emperor called her into the palace, and Jin Jiaoyue and others protected her like that, which moved her heart. She not only regarded them as shop assistants, so she invited them to have dinner together.


    ¡°Boss.¡± Jin Jiaoyue and the others had bright eyes.


    ¡°Sit.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°The boss asked us to sit, so let¡¯s sit.¡± Xue Jing knew Jiang Yunzhu, knew that she was sincerely inviting everyone, and immediately smiled and said.


    The atmosphere immediately became relaxed. Everyone took bowls and bowls, filled rice with rice, and enjoyed the delicious food on the table.


    Xue Jing was very curious about what the sea urchin steamed eggs tasted like, so he took one immediately, and got stuck in his hand when he took it. But he didn¡¯t care, he just took a spoon to dig the steamed egg.


    The steamed egg is mixed with the sea urchin meat, which is tender and slippery. After scooping it up with a spoon, it trembles as if it will slide down at any time.


    Putting it in his mouth, Xue Jing couldn¡¯t believe it, how could it be so delicious!


    ¡°Boss, this thing¡­¡± He opened his eyes wide and was a little incoherent.


    ¡°The sea urchin is delicious, and the steamed egg is also extremely fresh. Putting the two together is naturally delicious. This dish doesn¡¯t even need to add salt.¡± Jiang Yunzhu explained.


    Tsk tsk, you don¡¯t even need to add salt, which shows the beauty of its own taste.


    Xue Jing nodded like a good student, only hated himself for being illiterate, otherwise he would have recorded these well.


    Jin Jiaoyue and the others also ate sea urchin steamed eggs, it was really delicious, it was a taste they had never tasted before. The moment the tender steamed egg slides into the mouth, it is addictive.


    Before they knew it, everyone ate up the sea urchin steamed eggs on the table.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked amused, ¡°This crab porridge is also delicious.¡±


    Everyone went to drink the crab porridge again, and it was a completely different umami taste. Xia Dynasty¡¯s maritime affairs were developed, and people in the capital often peddled sea crabs, but Xia Dynasty people still prefer hairy crabs, thinking that the taste is authentic.


    Jin Jiaoyue and others thought so before, but after eating the crab porridge made by Jiang Yunzhu today, they realized that sea crabs taste like sea crabs, and they are not inferior to hairy crabs at all.


    After sweeping away everything on the table, everyone sat on chairs to relax.


    At this time, Wu Yu suddenly remembered something, pushed Zhan Changchuan¡¯s arm, and made a silent gesture.


    Zhan Changchuan glared at him, why didn¡¯t he say anything?


    However, someone asked him to ask.


    Look at Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Yunzhu is okay, he didn¡¯t eat that much, and he has left his seat at this time, thinking about how to make those seafood at noon.


    Zhan Changchuan stood up and came to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s side, ¡°Boss.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Jiang Yunzhu turned her head, and saw his embarrassed face.


    ¡°What?¡± she asked, Zhan Changchuan had a resolute personality and rarely showed such an expression.


    Is something wrong? Thinking of this, she concentrated.


    Zhan Changchuan hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious, but someone asked me to ask you, does the restaurant still hire people?¡±


    As soon as he said this, Jin Jiaoyue also stood up and looked at Jiang Yunzhu eagerly. Someone also asked her to ask about this matter, but Zhan Changchuan took the lead.


    ¡°You don¡¯t want to ask about this too?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked Jin Jiaoyue.


    Jin Jiaoyue nodded.


    ¡°Boss.¡± Zhang He¡¯s glacier face was slightly cramped.


    ¡°Are you asking about this too?¡± Jiang Yunzhu was surprised.


    Zhang He nodded.


    ¡°You wouldn¡¯t ask for someone, would you?¡± Jiang Yunzhu found it interesting.


    Several people shook their heads quickly.


    Jiang Yunzhu inquired carefully, only to realize that she was really not alone.


    It turned out that Zhan Changchuan and others were staying at the Time Restaurant these days, and felt that the sky seemed to have turned blue, and the leaves seemed to have turned green. Every morning when I woke up, I felt full of energy.


    When I came to the restaurant, cleaned up, drank two glasses of wine in my spare time, and sometimes had meals cooked by Jiang Yunzhu, I felt relaxed and comfortable, like a fairy day.


    Then their former colleague Jane, found that they seemed to be different people.


    After hearing their description, those people asked them to ask Jiang Yunzhu to see if the restaurant was still hiring.


    They also want to come and see if the wine is so good, if the food is so delicious, and, that day.


    After Jiang Yunzhu heard this, she couldn¡¯t laugh or cry, she was a restaurant, not a resort, what did they think?


    ¡°For the time being, there should be no need for manpower,¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Jin Jiaoyue and the others showed regretful expressions. Their friends, those whose lives were intersected, actually wanted them to come to the restaurant very much. Whether you make money or not is secondary. The main thing is that everyone is happy when they get together.


    At noon, Shiguang Restaurant has a seafood banquet, including peacock fish, fried squid in sauce, sea urchin steamed egg, white snail soup with thyme, etc. Everyone enjoyed it, and Shiguang Restaurant added a lot of private dishes that people talk about.


    In the evening, Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming came to eat seafood, and they both ate less.


    After eating and drinking, the three chatted. Jiang Yunzhu mentioned that Zhan Changchuan asked her if she was still recruiting, and wanted to hear their thoughts.


    Speaking of this, Yang Sheng was very distressed. Some people came to him these days, saying that Jin Jiaoyue and the others had arranged a place to go, so what about them? They are all old people from Qilinwei, so it is really hard for him to answer.


    ¡°Did a lot of people retreat?¡± Jiang Yunzhu was curious. In her heart, Qilinwei seems to be similar to Jinyiwei, who should be showing off his might, but why did he come to Yang Sheng¡¯s place and become like this.


    Yang Sheng explained that there were quite a lot of people.


    The Qilin Guards are very demanding, and generally perform some highly dangerous tasks. Go to the Zhenfu Division to see that there are very few people over the age of thirty-five in the team, and almost none over the age of forty. They¡¯re either dead, or they¡¯re injured, and all sorts of things can go wrong.


    Qilinwei is such a place with a very low retention rate.


    After retiring from the Qilin Guard, some people taught newcomers, but how many people are needed, and most of the rest received a sum of money and left helplessly.


    What about after leaving? Some people marry and have children, but many more are misfits around them.


    Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng had also discussed how to place them before. They wanted them to go to Jingzhao Mansion or to work in various places. With their talents, they would definitely be able to do it.


    However, the ministers of the court and the central government objected with one voice, and even Emperor Qinglong disagreed.


    ¡°They think we want to put people everywhere.¡± Yang Sheng mocked, ¡°That¡¯s why they disagree.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t answer. She knew that the two of them might have good intentions, but the concerns of the ministers of the court and the central government did exist.


    They were already afraid of the Qilin Guards. If the Qilin Guards were sent to various positions, no one would dare to sleep.


    The room became quiet.


    Suddenly, Yang Sheng said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Miss Jiang, otherwise, if you open more restaurants in the capital, your business will be booming, and you will be able to hire more people.


    No, if you hire them, we can subsidize you a sum of money. ¡°


    Yang Sheng¡¯s words are very sincere, but Jiang Yunzhu doesn¡¯t want to open so many restaurants! What¡¯s more, those people have real abilities, and being waiters in the restaurant also buried them.


    In the future, rumors spread that the retired Qilinwei all went to work as waiters in restaurants, which is hard to say.


    Who would want to go to the Qilin Guard? He worked so hard, but he didn¡¯t even get a good result.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu saw the unfinished seafood on the table, and suddenly had an idea, ¡°Have you ever considered, overseas.¡±


    ¡°Overseas?¡± Shen Fengming knew about Jiang Yunzhu planting mulberry trees in Wuling County before, and immediately remembered a lot. He also investigated later, and there are indeed broad prospects overseas.


    Hearing this, Yang Sheng regained his energy. He had heard and seen a lot of overseas things in Qilinwei, and he was really curious about those places.


    ¡°I heard that there are many robbers at sea, and there are still many deficiencies in the management of maritime affairs in this dynasty.¡± Yang Sheng suddenly asked Shen Fengming excitedly, ¡°You said, how about we tell the emperor to create a new mission and arrange our people?¡±


    If they are not allowed in this dynasty, they will not be hindered overseas.


    Shen Fengming shook his head, the emperor would not agree.


    Yang Sheng leaned back on the chair angrily, looking for them when he had something to do, fearing them when he had nothing to do, they are really good!


    ¡°Actually, we can try to build a fleet first.¡± When Jiang Yunzhu said this, he thought of the East India companies in Britain, Portugal, and Spain hundreds of years later.


    a bit far. But she knew that in the next few years, Xia Dynasty¡¯s maritime trade would have a big development.


    It would be good for them to build a fleet and make some money.


    With money, are you afraid that you won¡¯t be able to accommodate those people? If there is still no way, then the money is not enough!


    What¡¯s more, the fleet needs all kinds of talents to go everywhere.


    ¡°Building a fleet? Doing business?¡± Yang Sheng asked.


    ¡°You can do business first,¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°What about in the future?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    This¡­ Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°It¡¯s still business.¡±


    The corners of Shen Fengming¡¯s mouth are slightly raised, isn¡¯t it?


    ¡°I¡¯m not good at doing business!¡± Yang Sheng looked at Shen Fengming, then at Jiang Yunzhu, if Shen Fengming could do it, so could Jiang Yunzhu.


    Yang Sheng suddenly fell silent, so he is the only one?


    ¡°Do you want to do this business together?¡± Shen Fengming suggested, of course, he mainly asked Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu is also very interested in maritime trade, and has formed her own fleet. Does she want them to bring back what she wants? Also, if she wants to go to sea to see in the future, it will be very convenient.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have much capital,¡± she said. It costs a lot to build a fleet. Her restaurant is very profitable now, but compared with the money needed to build a fleet, it is a drop in the bucket.


    The author has something to say:


    This article should be over in September, thank you for your continued support

 Chapter 114

    ¡°I have.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Of course he has. The Shen family has stood for hundreds of years. Although they are heirs of poetry and books, they have accumulated a lot of money.


    ¡°Bring me, I¡¯ll tell my mother to let her take the money.¡± Yang Sheng hurriedly said. He felt that following Shen Fengming and Jiang Yunzhu would definitely make money.


    In fact, the Yang family is just looking at the scenery. In fact, the family is not rich.


    Military generals spend more money than literati. Literati buy books and pay more for repairs. A good horse costs thousands of taels for a military general, and a few hundred taels for a good weapon, not to mention the usual food. There are more people than literati, so there is a folk saying ¡°Poor literature and rich martial arts¡±, which means that only those who have money can learn martial arts.


    General Yang was very sympathetic to his subordinates, and Shen Fengming was worried that those who retired from Qilinwei were actually better than those who retired from the army.


    At least the Qilin Guards have fewer people, and the monthly silver is high. Even if they retire, they can still receive a generous amount of money.


    But those people in the army, they are just ordinary soldiers, and they only get one tael of silver every month. If they are injured or leave the army, they can get ten taels of silver at most.


    What¡¯s the use of ten taels of silver? If the injury is serious, it is barely enough to heal the injury, so what about their future life?


    Therefore, General Yang often subsidizes his subordinates, and the Yang family is naturally getting poorer and poorer. Now, it is only relying on some stores under Mrs. Yang¡¯s name to maintain the status of General Zhen Guo¡¯s mansion.


    ¡°In these years, Xirong and Beidi haven¡¯t violated the border on a large scale, but they keep making small moves. There are wars at the border, and many soldiers have retreated. Fengming, Miss Jiang, how many people do we need this time? If there is a shortage of manpower, can we hire them? Are they here to do something?¡± It was rare for Yang Sheng to show such a sad side.


    Jiang Yunzhu had no problem, since anyone was hired anyway, she believed that the soldiers brought out by General Yang must be good.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Shen Fengming also said.


    ¡°Great, what are you waiting for, get the fleet up quickly. I¡¯ll tell my dad then, he will be happy.¡± Yang Sheng said.


    Once the funding problem is solved, the fleet will basically be in place, and the rest is what business they want to do and where to do business.


    Now the most profitable maritime trade is selling silk, tea, and porcelain. By the way, there is another thing, colored glaze, they can also sell these.


    As for where to go, the known places now include Java, Indonesia, and the western mainland. The routes in some places have been found out and are relatively safe, but most of the routes are still unknown or full of danger.


    These dangers include pirates, storms, local forces, and more.


    ¡°Pirates? Pirates are good. I heard that they are very rich. Isn¡¯t our Qilin Guard just for catching thieves? If they don¡¯t come, then we have to stay.


    And we are a fleet, not belonging to the imperial court, the seized property¡­ hehe! ¡°Yang Sheng suddenly realized that it would be nice to have his own fleet instead of setting up a new mission. Maybe he could make a fortune just by exterminating those pirates.


    Shen Fengming and Jiang Yunzhu looked at each other, thinking it made sense. The Qilin Guard led the team, and the soldiers under General Yang served as the crew. Their fleet is the highest combat power of the Xia Dynasty. Who can stop it?


    Then the second aspect is determined, they will go to those unexplored routes, high risk, high return.


    In this regard, Jiang Yunzhu still has an advantage. She is not very good at geography, but she still knows the distribution of several continents in the world. As long as she follows the direction she pointed out, finding a new land is not a problem at all.


    At that time, they can sell porcelain and silk there, and get back real money!


    Thinking about it this way, Jiang Yunzhu was also a little excited, wishing to go on adventures with the fleet and make money.


    And to set this policy, in fact, the first aspect, what to sell, is not a problem.


    Then there is the budget, how much money to invest, and how to distribute dividends.


    Yang Sheng reckoned that his mother would be able to spend 20,000 taels at most, and he would have to sell a lot of things at home.


    For the first batch of fleet, Shen Fengming planned to get 30 big ships, the ships were fully armed, plus the purchase of supplies, it was estimated to cost 500,000 taels.


    Yang Sheng¡¯s 20,000 taels is a bit small compared to this money.


    The money that Jiang Yunzhu could come up with was even less, and she could only come up with three thousand taels.


    She is poor and feels like she can get out of the business.


    In the end, the three of them discussed and decided that Shen Fengming would hold 60% of the shares, and the Qilin Guards would hold 12%. The 12% would be distributed mainly to the Qilin Guards who lead the team, as well as the Qilin Guards who will retire later. placement.


    Yang Sheng accounted for 6%, and 10% was given to the crew of the fleet, and part of it was reserved for the retired soldiers in the army.


    The remaining 12% is for Jiang Yunzhu, the plan she proposed this time, and she may have to do many things in the future.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s too much for me.¡± Jiang Yunzhu waved her hands again and again, 12 percent, that¡¯s a huge profit, she didn¡¯t dare to think.


    ¡°What¡¯s more, it¡¯s not much at all.¡± Yang Sheng said with a smile.


    Shen Fengming also nodded.


    Jiang Yunzhu still made too many decisions, Qi Linwei and those crew members ventured out to sea, and that¡¯s all they got.


    She also ran errands in the early stage, it is not good to take too much.


    In the end, she gave Qilin Wei and the crew each 1% of the shares. Qilin Wei got 13%, the crew got 11%, and she got 10%.


    In fact, she still wanted to share more, but Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming disagreed, so they decided.


    ¡°I wish our fleet will overcome all difficulties and make a lot of money.¡± Yang Sheng picked up his wine glass and laughed.


    Jiang Yunzhu also picked up the wine glass.


    Shen Fengming originally didn¡¯t want to talk to Yang Sheng, but seeing Jiang Yunzhu pick up the wine glass, he picked it up too.


    The three of them drank the wine in their glasses and were all in a good mood.


    ¡°Should we give our fleet a name? At that time, as long as we mention our name at sea, they will be intimidated.¡± Yang Sheng said excitedly.


    The Qilin Guard was also intimidating in the Xia Dynasty, but there were the emperor and the ministers who were sloppy and crooked. It was not happy enough. Going overseas, meeting gods and killing gods, meeting Buddhas and killing Buddhas, is exciting enough!


    Thinking about it this way, Yang Sheng wanted to quit Qilin Guard and go to sea.


    ¡°Name?¡± Jiang Yunzhu felt the need.


    What¡¯s a good name?


    ¡°Qilin?¡± After Yang Sheng finished speaking, he even hated it. He actually didn¡¯t like the name Qilinwei. Suddenly, he saw the two people on the opposite side, with a sly look in his eyes, he smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s better to call Mingyun Trading Company.¡±


    A firm is the same as a company, but it is called a firm in this era.


    Mingyun is naturally Shen Fengming¡¯s ¡°ming¡± and Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s ¡°cloud¡±.


    Jiang Yunzhu glared at Yang Sheng, saying it was business!


    ¡°It¡¯s better to call it Yunming Trading Company.¡± Shen Fengming said suddenly. His voice was cold and he didn¡¯t mean to be joking at all.


    He put Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s ¡°cloud¡± in front.


    Yang Sheng stroked his palms, ¡°This name is good, so let¡¯s call it this name.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu: ¡­No, are you serious?


    Yunming Firm, the name was settled under such circumstances, and Jiang Yunzhu always felt like it was a joke.


    When he went back that night, Yang Sheng almost broke his mouth, and told Mrs. Yang how their firm would make money in the future.


    Mrs. Yang disagreed at first. There is only so much money in the family, and I invested it all. If I can¡¯t come back, the family will drink northwest wind in the future!


    Later, Yang Sheng had no choice but to ask Mrs. Yang to promise to keep it secret, so he told her the specific situation of the firm.


    Now Mrs. Yang is in good spirits, Shen Fengming voted 500,000? Jiang Yunzhu in management? The Qilin Guard leads the team, and the retired people from the army are the crew? To develop new lands and destroy pirates¡­ Pirates are rich.


    No matter how you look at it, it is a very profitable business.


    ¡°Why did you just invest 20,000!¡± Mrs. Yang blamed Yang Sheng in turn. The family had no money, but she could still go out and borrow it.


    Yang Sheng was speechless, that¡¯s not what you said just now. Besides, he was just a hitchhiker in this business, Jiang Yunzhu came up with the idea, Shen Fengming took the money, and they will run it in the future. He took so many shares for nothing, and they are already taking care of him.


    What¡¯s more, I gave my father so many shares to the retired soldiers of the army. In the future, my father will not have to worry about the livelihood of those soldiers. Didn¡¯t it solve the big trouble at home?


    As a human being, you can¡¯t be too greedy.


    Mrs. Yang thinks about it too.


    Suddenly, she thought again, no, how did Yang Sheng, Shen Fengming, and Jiang Yunzhu get together? They acted as if it didn¡¯t matter before.


    ¡°Say it quickly.¡± Mrs. Yang patted the table.


    ¡°What should I say about other people¡¯s affairs.¡± Yang Sheng retorted.


    Then, he also realized that he had slipped his tongue.


    Mrs. Yang was very shocked. Yang Sheng liked saving girls, she thought he was with Jiang Yunzhu, but who would have thought that it was Shen Fengming and Jiang Yunzhu?


    Does Shen Fengming like girls?


    The two of them¡­


    ¡°Mother, my mother, don¡¯t go out and talk nonsense or get meddled, I have worked so hard to bring them together.¡± Yang Sheng recalled the days when he let Shen Fengming recuperate and he carried the Qilin Guard by himself. I feel bitter.


    Madam Yang looked at him meaningfully.


    ¡°Mother, don¡¯t you really think I¡¯m with Fengming?¡± Yang Sheng frowned.


    It was all rumored by others, he likes girls, and so does Shen Fengming, they have nothing to do with each other.


    Mrs. Yang waited for a long time before accepting the news. She has a sense of proportion and won¡¯t talk nonsense. It¡¯s just that she also likes Jiang Yunzhu very much, but it seems a bit difficult for her to marry into the Shen family.


    It wasn¡¯t Jiang Yunzhu who wanted to marry, it was Shen Fengming who wanted to marry, and Yang Sheng wanted to correct him, but in the end he just said, ¡°Mother, don¡¯t worry about it, hurry up and make money.


    By the way, I¡¯ll write to Dad later about the crew, do you have anything to tell Dad? ¡°


    ¡°Tell him that the son has finally grown up and knows that he has taken care of the family. Just say I said it.¡± Mrs. Yang said.


    This is clearly praising Yang Sheng, and Yang Sheng smiled happily.


    ¡°Also, what, the iron trees are blooming, and I haven¡¯t hugged my grandson yet, let him say, what should I do!¡± Madam Yang said again. Shen Fengming already has a girl he likes, she doesn¡¯t want to, when Princess Danyang hugs her grandson, she hasn¡¯t hugged her yet.


    The smile on Yang Sheng¡¯s face froze, no, can you forget the last sentence?


    In the end, Yang Sheng¡¯s letter didn¡¯t mention the following things, but only told General Yang about the fleet, and asked him to select a group of wounded or retired soldiers to make money.

 Chapter 115

    The next day, Shen Fengming brought a box to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu opened the box, and saw that it was neatly filled with bank notes, the bank notes of Jinheng Bank, the largest bank in the capital, which can be exchanged anywhere.


    ¡°This?¡± Jiang Yunzhu took a rough look, the bank note was probably worth 200,000 taels, so Shen Fengming just handed it to her?


    ¡°If you want to buy goods, you need money. For Yang Sheng¡¯s money, let him collect it slowly. Spend it first.¡± Shen Fengming said. He spoke casually, and only explained the matter of Yang Sheng¡¯s money, as if he had never considered whether it was appropriate to hand over so much money to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Looking at those bank notes, Jiang Yunzhu felt mixed emotions in her heart. She seemed to want to ask Shen Fengming a lot, but she felt that it was pointless to ask.


    ¡°Okay,¡± she said. Since he trusts her so much, she accepts it.


    Yesterday, the three of them had already discussed the division of labor and cooperation. Shen Fengming was in charge of purchasing the fleet, Jiang Yunzhu was in charge of purchasing the goods to be sold, and Yang Sheng was in charge of manpower.


    In the afternoon, after tidying up, Jiang Yunzhu went out and went straight to the Risheng Chamber of Commerce.


    Like Jiang Yunzhu, who wants to buy large quantities of goods, he must not go to the market to buy them. The Risheng Chamber of Commerce in the capital is a place for bulk goods transactions. The decoration is luxurious and the environment is elegant. It seems that there is not a single piece of goods here, but the goods traded here every day account for more than half of the total transaction volume in the capital.


    Turning to the left, it is the place where the Risheng Chamber of Commerce is sitting. There are people coming and going here, but it is not noisy at all.


    The people who come in and out here are all wealthy people, so it¡¯s not like a market.


    Jiang Yunzhu got out of the carriage and was about to go in when three people came out.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, what a coincidence.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an said in surprise when he saw Jiang Yunzhu.


    But Jiang Yunzhu felt that if he didn¡¯t read the almanac when he went out today, he could meet him like this?


    Actually, it¡¯s not a coincidence. These days, Lin Ting¡¯an often comes to Risheng Chamber of Commerce. If Jiang Yunzhu also comes, he will meet him sooner or later.


    Jiang Yunzhu went out to meet guests today, wearing a light purple crepe dress with exquisite workmanship, a pearl tassel bu yao on her head, and a white jade bracelet on her hand, making her look even more glamorous.


    Standing behind Lin Ting¡¯an, Jiang Yunxiu, seeing Jiang Yunzhu like this, suddenly seemed to see the young lady of Anping Houfu in her dream. At that time, she was so radiant, but she was ashamed.


    Jiang Yunxiu clenched her teeth tightly and stared at Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt her gaze, but didn¡¯t look at her, ignored Lin Ting¡¯an, and walked straight into the chamber of commerce.


    ¡°Girl Jiang!¡± Lin Ting¡¯an said in a deep voice.


    Jiang Yunzhu pretended not to hear.


    Lin Ting¡¯an turned cold, and reached out to grab her wrist.


    At this time, Shiliu blocked Jiang Yunzhu at an incredible speed, with a pair of round eyes and pupils slightly erected, staring at Lin Ting¡¯an like a beast. At the same time, she held something around her waist with her hand. As long as Lin Ting¡¯an dared to step forward again, she would be rude to him.


    Lin Ting¡¯an sensed something was wrong, stopped his hands, and looked at Shiliu.


    Lin Qing behind him immediately stood in front of him and confronted Shiliu.


    The two sides are at war.


    Jiang Yunzhu had already walked over.


    Lin Ting¡¯an knew that Jiang Yunzhu had made up his mind to ignore him, so he withdrew his hand and looked at her back with a cold expression.


    ¡°Sister.¡± Jiang Yunxiu said suddenly at this moment, she hated Jiang Yunzhu, but she knew that if she could stop her at this time, Lin Ting¡¯an would definitely look up to her.


    Jiang Yunzhu heard her call, but didn¡¯t stop at all, and went straight into the chamber of commerce.


    Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s face twisted together.


    Shiliu followed Jiang Yunzhu, only Lin Ting¡¯an and the other three were left in place, and all three had ugly faces.


    At this time, a carriage came across the street, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted, Xiao Liyu¡¯s eyes were red, as if she had just cried.


    ¡°Go back to the palace.¡± She said to Lin Ting¡¯an.


    Today she went out of the palace with Lin Ting¡¯an. In name, they went to the White Horse Temple to offer incense. In fact, Xiao Liyu went to the Zhenfu Division. Lin Ting¡¯an knew about it, but he didn¡¯t care. He came to the Risheng Chamber of Commerce by himself.


    The two agreed to meet here, and then return to the palace together, as if they really went to the White Horse Temple today.


    Seeing Xiao Liyu like this, one knew that her side was definitely not going well. As for Lin Ting¡¯an, why not.


    Lin Ting¡¯an nodded, and then returned to the palace with Xiao Liyu, neither of them spoke.


    Jiang Yunxiu followed behind, thinking of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s radiant appearance just now, and looking at Xiao Liyu¡¯s luxurious carriage for a while, feeling extremely resentful in her heart.


    What happened just now was just a small episode for Jiang Yunzhu. At this moment, she has put it aside and concentrated on chatting with those merchants, asking them about the condition and price of the goods in their hands.


    Soon, she had a certain understanding of the current market.


    Just then, ¡°Boss Jiang?¡± A male voice asked in surprise.


    Jiang Yunzhu turned around and saw that it was Boss Luo.


    ¡°It¡¯s really Boss Jiang, I thought I was wrong just now.¡± Boss Luo said. This day, Risheng Chamber of Commerce couldn¡¯t get in without certain strength. Although the restaurant opened by Jiang Yunzhu was booming, it didn¡¯t seem to be qualified enough, so he was surprised to see Jiang Yunzhu here.


    Jiang Yunzhu brought Shen Fengming¡¯s 200,000 taels of silver note, so he was naturally qualified to come in.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°Boss Luo.¡± She was about to find him.


    ¡°This is my friend, Boss Du, who is in the tea business.¡± Boss Luo introduced Boss Du to Jiang Yunzhu, and then introduced Jiang Yunzhu to Boss Du, ¡°Boss Jiang, the owner of Time Private Restaurant.¡±


    ¡°So it¡¯s Boss Jiang, I¡¯ve known him for a long time,¡± Boss Du said.


    ¡°Boss Du¡¯s reputation is too high.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Hey, now everyone in the capital doesn¡¯t know your restaurant. It tastes amazing. It¡¯s a pity that I want to eat, but I can¡¯t always be ranked.¡± Boss Du said half-truthfully.


    ¡°Next time I¡¯ll book a seat, I¡¯ll bring you one.¡± Boss Luo joked.


    The three of them smiled, and they knew each other.


    The three chatted for a while, Jiang Yunzhu asked Boss Luo¡¯s colored glaze products, and seemed to intend to buy colored glaze products from him.


    ¡°If Boss Jiang wants it, I¡¯ll give you some.¡± Boss Luo thought that Jiang Yunzhu was only used in restaurants, so he said generously.


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to borrow a word from Boss Luo.


    When the two came to one side, Jiang Yunzhu expressed her thoughts. She wanted to buy a large number of glazed products. As for the purpose, she didn¡¯t hide it from him, she planned to build a fleet to sell those glazed products overseas.


    But Boss Luo can rest assured that the place where her fleet is going is some new land, and it will definitely not affect Boss Luo¡¯s business.


    Boss Luo was skeptical. According to what she said, this is a good business delivered to your door. But Jiang Yunzhu, get a fleet, and go to new land to sell?


    Does she have that much silver? Besides, the sea is extremely dangerous, and going to a new place is extremely dangerous, even if you have money, it is useless.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t explain too much, just said, ¡°Boss Luo just needs to sell the things to me. As for how to sell them, that¡¯s up to me. We can write a contract, and I won¡¯t steal your current business.¡±


    Boss Luo was very moved, but he let out a long sigh.


    ¡°Is Boss Luo in trouble?¡± Jiang Yunzhu saw the clue and asked.


    Boss Luo hesitated to speak, and finally said, he thought about it.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t have to buy Boss Luo¡¯s colored glaze, she just thought his colored glaze was better baked, and it should be easier to sell after buying it. He said so, but she didn¡¯t force her, she said goodbye and left.


    After she left, Boss Du came over and asked Boss Luo what was going on.


    Boss Luo hesitated and said a few words.


    Boss Du was also quite surprised why Jiang Yunzhu suddenly wanted to buy so much colored glaze, ¡°It¡¯s a good business, but our workshop may have to change its surname, so how can we sell her things?¡±


    Speaking of this, Boss Luo was very angry.


    Lin Ting¡¯an planted so many mulberry trees in Wuling County, and when he came to the capital, he also wanted to build his own fleet. However, he didn¡¯t have Qilinwei and General Yang¡¯s soldiers as crew members, and he didn¡¯t want to rush to open up new waterways, so he planned to directly buy the business of Boss Luo, Boss Du and others, and even the workshop, people and ships to buy together, and then sell the business Go big, easy and fast.


    Now the prospect of maritime trade is very good. Of course, Boss Luo and Boss Du don¡¯t want to sell it, because they spent countless efforts to get it.


    But not for sale, Lin Ting¡¯an is the eldest son of the Marquis of Anping, and I heard that he has contact with the sixth prince. They are just ordinary people who suddenly made some money in business, and even those old rich businessmen look down on them, so why talk about Lin Ting¡¯an.


    It is precisely because they have no backing that Lin Ting¡¯an dared to do this!


    He seems to have gone to those old rich businessmen, but he cooperated with them. For them, it is acquisition.


    Obviously bullying them, this made Boss Luo and Boss Du very angry.


    But it¡¯s useless to be angry, the people don¡¯t fight with the officials.


    ¡°Brother Luo, did you mention that Zhang Yushi last time?¡± Boss Du asked suddenly. These people are also actively looking for asylum, and this Zhang Yushi is one of them, and he has already seen it.


    ¡°He costs one hundred thousand taels per mouth. Besides, he is just a censor, do you think he will offend Lin Ting¡¯an for us?¡± Boss Luo snorted.


    Hearing what he said, Boss Du was also discouraged.


    The two were silent for a while. Could it be that they really want to give up the good business to Lin Ting¡¯an?


    Suddenly, Boss Luo said, ¡°Tell me, can Boss Jiang help us?¡±


    Boss Du didn¡¯t know where he came from. Jiang Yunzhu, a restaurant owner, can he help them?


    Boss Luo¡¯s eyes brightened, ¡°There are some things I didn¡¯t tell you just now, Boss Jiang told me just now that she is going to open up a new channel.


    I don¡¯t quite believe it.


    But what if it is true? Think about it, what kind of power dares to open up new waterways on the sea! ¡°Boss Luo became more and more excited as he talked, and wished he could find Jiang Yunzhu immediately.


    As long as she can help them, they are willing to sell things to her cheaply.


    Or, cooperate with her, or give her a share in their business, as long as she doesn¡¯t want to annex them like Lin Ting¡¯an.


    Hearing what he said, Boss Du felt that it made sense.


    ¡°Brother Luo, take me with you.¡± He hurriedly said. Boss Luo didn¡¯t take him with him last time, which made him regret for a long time, and he can¡¯t be left behind this time.

 Chapter 116

    The two immediately looked around for Jiang Yunzhu, but Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know where to go at this time, which made them very anxious.


    After searching around for a long time, finally, Boss Du saw Jiang Yunzhu sitting on a tea table drinking tea, so he hurriedly called Boss Luo.


    The two took three steps and two steps together, and came to Jiang Yunzhu.


    The weather was hot in summer, and the two of them were anxious, and now they were sweating profusely. However, the expressions of the two were extremely excited.


    ¡°Boss Jiang, just now you said you wanted to buy my colored glaze and go overseas?¡± Boss Luo asked directly.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Jiang Yunzhu nodded, she turned around a lot, and still thought Boss Luo¡¯s glass was the best, no wonder he made so much money so quickly.


    Boss Luo and Boss Du exchanged glances.


    Jiang Yunzhu saw that they seemed to have something to say, and invited them to sit down.


    ¡°Boss Jiang, this is not a place to talk, can you change the place with us?¡± Boss Luo asked cautiously.


    Jiang Yunzhu doesn¡¯t care.


    Boss Luo leads the way. The Risheng Chamber of Commerce is a place to discuss business, and there is a box next to it, and the three of them entered a box.


    Sitting down, Boss Luo said, ¡°I want to sell you something, but someone wants to buy my workshop and fleet.¡± He looked at Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s expression while talking.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled so hard that people couldn¡¯t see her thoughts clearly.


    Boss Luo gritted his teeth, ¡°It¡¯s the prince of the Marquis of Anping, he wants to buy my workshop and fleet. No, he not only wants to buy mine, but also Boss Du, Boss Zhao, and Boss Feng.


    In fact, I don¡¯t know if there are any. ¡°


    This time, Jiang Yunzhu finally changed his face. She stopped smiling and frowned. Lin Ting¡¯an, no wonder I met him at the door just now, it turned out that he also took a fancy to this overseas business.


    According to what Boss Luo said, he has a big appetite! Buying so many fleets of workshops at once and integrating them together, won¡¯t he be the only one in maritime trade in the future?


    She was thinking about this, but Boss Luo thought that she was scared when she heard the name of Anping Hou Mansion, and couldn¡¯t help feeling cold. It turned out that she couldn¡¯t help them either! It seems that they really can only sell the workshop and fleet.


    It¡¯s just really not reconciled.


    Seeing Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s reaction, Boss Du next to him also thought so, and immediately became dejected.


    ¡°Boss Luo wants to buy a workshop and a fleet? As far as I know, this is a profitable business.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Of course I don¡¯t want to sell it, but this is something I can decide?¡± Boss Luo said.


    ¡°Business is all about your love and my willingness. Since Boss Luo doesn¡¯t want to sell, no one can force you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Boss Luo raised his head suddenly, what does she mean?


    ¡°Am I wrong?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    Yes, but, ¡°That¡¯s the Marquis of Anping¡¯s Mansion. It¡¯s said that it¡¯s still related to¡­¡± Boss Luo pointed upwards and made another six gesture, ¡°It¡¯s related to that one.¡± What he meant was the sixth prince.


    The sixth prince, who is the most favored prince in the Xia Dynasty, may even become the emperor in the future. To Boss Luo, he is really like a figure in the sky.


    If someone wants to crush him to death, it¡¯s not the same as crushing an ant.


    ¡°The Xia Dynasty has laws, and no one can go beyond the laws.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Boss Luo looked at Jiang Yunzhu in astonishment, not knowing that she didn¡¯t understand anything, so she said this because she had the bottom line in her heart and was not afraid of the sixth prince at all.


    Jiang Yunzhu thought for a while, ¡°Boss Luo, can you allow me to think about it, let¡¯s talk about this business tomorrow.¡±


    Boss Luo couldn¡¯t understand what she wanted to do, but that was the only way she could do it.


    Jiang Yunzhu went back to Time Private Restaurant, thinking about what happened in the chamber of commerce.


    In the evening, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng came, and the two of them handled things neatly, and soon, the fleet and manpower would be in place.


    Jiang Yunzhu has a problem here. She told Boss Luo and Boss Du, and wanted to hear their thoughts.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s a bird! Sixth Prince, he didn¡¯t figure out what happened at the Wuling Mine last year, so how dare he use his power for personal gain?¡± Yang Sheng immediately snorted angrily. He is very excited about building a fleet, and he will have a good fight with anyone who stops him.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at Shen Fengming.


    Shen Fengming noticed Lin Ting¡¯an more, he said, ¡°No one can break the law.¡±


    What he said meant a lot. He will not be a backer for Boss Luo and Boss Du, but if Lin Ting¡¯an and the sixth prince want to coerce Boss Luo and the others, they can¡¯t do it either.


    Jiang Yunzhu understood what he meant, ¡°I think so too.¡± However, if the Sixth Prince was really involved in this matter, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng would have to deal with it, so she didn¡¯t talk too much during the day.


    ¡°Miss Jiang, don¡¯t worry about this, just let it go, we haven¡¯t been afraid of anyone yet.¡± Yang Sheng said, poking Shen Fengming, ¡°Isn¡¯t it?¡±


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t bother to talk to him, and only said to Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°I trust you, so you also trust us, okay?¡±


    He believed in her decision, but what about her? Does she trust that they will be on her side, that they can fix these problems?


    The two looked at each other, and Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart was churning. She really didn¡¯t believe them that much, so she ran back and asked them about it.


    So, can she trust them?


    Shen Fengming¡¯s attitude said everything.


    Jiang Yunzhu lowered her head, and said softly, ¡°Yes.¡± She would try to believe him.


    Shen Fengming really wanted to hold her in his arms, but Yang Sheng beside him was still speaking fiercely, so he could only stand there and listen.


    The next day, Jiang Yunzhu met Boss Luo and Boss Du, and said that he wanted to do business with them.


    ¡°What does Boss Jiang mean?¡± Boss Luo asked tentatively.


    ¡°Boss Luo, don¡¯t worry, Xia Dynasty has laws. If you don¡¯t want to sell the workshop, no one can force you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu affirmed.


    Boss Luo was both surprised and delighted, ¡°Boss Jiang is serious?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu nodded.


    Boss Luo stood up excitedly, and bowed towards Jiang Yunzhu in disrespect, ¡°Thank you Boss Jiang, then we can talk about the glass business.¡±


    ¡°And me, and me.¡± Boss Du was afraid that Jiang Yunzhu would forget him, so he hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯m in the tea business, and there are several tea gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. Boss Jiang, you can take a look at my tea. What do you do? Maritime trade should also need tea, right?¡±


    Of course, Jiang Yunzhu had already inquired about Boss Du before meeting him today. At this time, I looked at his tea again, and it was indeed of high quality.


    No wonder Lin Ting¡¯an would find these two people, these two people have the best products!


    The three began to talk about business. Boss Luo and Boss Du were grateful to Jiang Yunzhu, and the price they offered was very favorable.


    Jiang Yunzhu directly bought one hundred thousand taels of silver, which made Luo and Du two more confident in her.


    After discussing the business and writing the deed, Boss Luo asked Jiang Yunzhu again, ¡°Boss Jiang, do you still want to buy silk and porcelain?¡±


    ¡°Yes, does Boss Luo have any suggestions?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    ¡°Boss Zhao¡¯s silk is the best, and Boss Feng¡¯s porcelain is extremely exquisite,¡± said Boss Luo.


    Jiang Yunzhu remembered these two people. Boss Luo said yesterday that Lin Ting¡¯an would also buy their workshops and fleet.


    Boss Luo didn¡¯t hide anything, and said directly, ¡°Boss Zhao and Boss Feng are just like us. They both have good things, and they have made some money at sea in the past few years.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu understood that Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s purchase of the workshops and fleets of Luo, Du, Zhao, and Feng was after careful selection.


    Now, it is cheaper for her.


    ¡°Boss Luo, can you help me lead the line? I really want to buy some silk and porcelain.¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    Boss Luo couldn¡¯t wish for more. He felt that, as long as he and Boss Du followed Jiang Yunzhu, they still lacked confidence, and if they brought Zhao and Feng over, they could discuss it if something happened.


    He immediately went to make arrangements, and soon, Jiang Yunzhu met Zhao and Feng, and saw their silk and porcelain, which were really good and suitable for her to buy.


    Zhao and Feng listened to Boss Luo¡¯s explanation of the whole story. They were both happy and skeptical. If Lin Ting¡¯an and even the sixth prince took action against them, would Jiang Yunzhu really help them? Who is behind her?


    Jiang Yunzhu wouldn¡¯t tell Shen Fengming, so she just smiled and said nothing.


    Boss Luo and Boss Du were determined to follow Jiang Yunzhu, and immediately began to persuade Zhao and Feng.


    The two of them were not willing to give up their good business to others, so they just slapped the table and said, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll try with you.¡± It was done, they could keep their business, and they could make a deal with Jiang Yunzhu, but they lost , Big deal, they are together and have a companion.


    Like Luo and Du, they both sold silk and porcelain to Jiang Yunzhu at 80% of the market price.


    Jiang Yunzhu each bought 50,000 taels of silver. So far, the 200,000 taels of silver have been spent, and the problem of the goods has been resolved.


    She was in a good mood, but Luo, Du, Zhao, and Feng were still worried in their hearts, fearing that the person behind Jiang Yunzhu would not be able to help them.


    Going back from here, they tossed and turned, full of worries.


    Lin Ting¡¯an has been persecuting Luo and Du little by little, trying to get them to accept his acquisition conditions, and they are about to succeed. On this day, the four of them all sent a message, saying that they would not sell it.


    Lin Ting¡¯an was so angry that he laughed back. They said they wouldn¡¯t sell it, so they wouldn¡¯t sell it?


    However, he also noticed that this matter did not seem to be simple.


    He immediately asked Lin Qing to investigate.


    It was soon found out that this matter was related to Jiang Yunzhu, and she seemed to want to build a fleet, Luo and Du were all following her now.


    In other words, he worked hard for more than half a month to make a wedding dress for Jiang Yunzhu!


    Lin Ting¡¯an suddenly stood up and walked outside.


    Jiang Yunzhu was resting at this time, Yun Du came in and said that Lin Ting¡¯an wanted to see her.


    ¡°No.¡± She refused directly.


    Lin Ting¡¯an ate the closed door, and his heart became more and more angry.


    In the next few days, he made several moves, but Shen Fengming counterattacked them all.


    ¡°Shen Fengming!¡± He was extremely ashamed.


    Luo, Du, Zhao, and Feng were overjoyed at this time, Jiang Yunzhu really helped them. In the past few days, they encountered various urgent matters, but they were all resolved invisibly.


    They didn¡¯t even know who that man was.


    But the fact that that person was able to achieve such a level shows his foundation and ability. They guessed whether it was the prince. Only the prince¡¯s people dare to do this to the sixth prince and Lin Ting¡¯an.


    But there are indications that it is not.


    Who the **** is that? They can¡¯t guess, or, they haven¡¯t guessed in that direction.


    In their eyes, Jiang Yunzhu also became more and more mysterious. He was someone who could deal with the sixth prince and Lin Ting¡¯an!


    They also made up their minds to follow Jiang Yunzhu. Backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade, they couldn¡¯t find a tree when they tried to find it before, but now they have one, of course they have to grab it.

 Chapter 117

    Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s acquisition plan has completely failed, and his desire to develop maritime trade has also stalled.


    Jiang Yunzhu and the others went smoothly, and everything went in an orderly manner.


    One day, Xiao Liyu went out with Lin Ting¡¯an, but when he came back, he found a note in the carriage. When he opened it, his expression changed. There were only eight words on the note, ¡°Shen Fengming is in love with Jiang Yunzhu.¡±


    ¡°Stop!¡± Xiao Liyu shouted coquettishly.


    The carriage stopped immediately.


    Xiao Liyu lifted the curtain of the carriage, and asked everyone with a white face, ¡°Who has entered my carriage?¡±


    All the guards and coachmen shook their heads, they had never entered, nor had they seen anyone entering Xiao Liyu¡¯s carriage.


    ¡°A bunch of waste.¡± Xiao Liyu cursed, put down the curtain of the carriage, and looked at the note again, startled and angry.


    Is the note true? Shen Fengming has someone he likes, and judging by the name, it turns out to be a woman?


    Impossible, she doesn¡¯t believe it, she would rather believe that Shen Fengming likes men, or he can¡¯t, otherwise why would he always speak coldly to her.


    But she couldn¡¯t help thinking, what if it was true? Thinking of this, she felt that her eyes were dark, and her heart was full of anger, which was mixed with various emotions such as ups and downs, almost driving her crazy.


    Who is Jiang Yunzhu? Also, who put this note in her carriage? She was sure, when she went out today, the note was not in the carriage.


    She didn¡¯t care about the latter, she just wanted to know if what was written on this note was true!


    ¡°Come here,¡± she called.


    Someone stepped forward immediately.


    Xiao Liyu gave orders.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu was looking forward to the person she had been waiting for.


    ¡°Grandpa, you seem to be much more energetic.¡± Jiang Yunzhu saw Mr. Wu coming, and immediately greeted him, smiling.


    ¡°Where is the energy, it¡¯s because I can¡¯t eat the food you cooked, and I lost weight.¡± Mr. Wu snorted.


    ¡°Then don¡¯t leave this time.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Mr. Wu was a little moved, but in the end he shook his head. If he stays with her, he will cause her to get into all kinds of trouble.


    ¡°As soon as I received your letter, I came. I didn¡¯t bring anything. Here, I¡¯ll keep you as jelly beans.¡± Mr. Wu changed the topic and handed Jiang Yunzhu a bottle.


    ¡°What?¡± Jiang Yunzhu took the bottle, opened it, and a strange medicinal fragrance wafted out immediately. After taking a sip, she felt refreshed.


    ¡°I went to Huashan this time. I was lucky. I came across a Jiuquling ginseng and made a bottle of medicine. It didn¡¯t have any effect. If you eat one when you are dying, you can live for at least three more days.¡± Mr. Wu said casually.


    It¡¯s not working yet? This is clearly a life-saving miracle medicine! Jiang Yunzhu was dumbfounded, and looked at Mr. Wu, he wants to give her such a valuable medicine? And let her eat it as a jelly bean¡­


    Seeing her surprised look, Mr. Wu¡¯s eyes flashed with pride.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, old boy, little boy, this is absolutely true. Mr. Wu is so arrogant.


    ¡°Thank you, old man. Since the old man gave it to me, I will accept it.¡± She said.


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Mr. Wu said.


    Jiang Yunzhu invited the old man in, and the old man looked at her newly opened restaurant, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.


    Afterwards, the two chatted about what happened during these days apart.


    Mr. Wu¡¯s experience is also very legendary. He went to Huashan this time, and then went to Changbai Mountain, and encountered many interesting things.


    Compared with him, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s experience is not bad. In just over half a year, she opened a restaurant in the capital and gained a firm foothold. Even, she has to go to sea for trade.


    Hearing this, Mr. Wu became interested. He was worried about where to go next, otherwise, he would also go overseas for fun?


    Maybe you can meet a merman. Legend has it that merman meat can also be used as medicine. It is also possible to meet the big pearl, and he will just give Jiang Yunzhu a bottle of nourishing pills.


    ¡°The old man wants to go to sea with our fleet?¡± Jiang Yunzhu was surprised.


    ¡°Why, can¡¯t you? Don¡¯t think I¡¯m old, I don¡¯t have any health problems at all.¡± Mr. Wu said.


    Jiang Yunzhu was really worried that he couldn¡¯t stand the wind and waves at sea, but considering that he had been to so many famous mountains and rivers, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem.


    ¡°It¡¯s too late for me to be happy! The fleet is at sea, if there are people with such superb medical skills as you, everyone will not be afraid of getting sick.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said sincerely. This is true, various things may happen at sea, with Mr. Wu accompanying, everyone¡¯s lives will have an extra layer of protection, which is something no one else can ask for.


    The old man nodded. Well, when this matter is over, he will go overseas to have a look.


    Speaking of the matter here, Jiang Yunzhu said, ¡°Old man, you should read the letter I wrote. I am more worried about the empress dowager¡¯s health.¡±


    The old man became serious. He had seen the empress dowager¡¯s body last year. She had a very complicated illness. With his medical skills, he could not cure her completely, but could only slow down her condition.


    The last time Jiang Yunzhu went to the palace to see the empress dowager, she felt more and more that she had Alzheimer¡¯s disease. There is still no effective treatment for this in the modern age of advanced medicine. Mr. Wu can slow down the empress dowager¡¯s disease, which is already very powerful.


    But that¡¯s not what she said, she was worried that the empress dowager would die at the end of July in her dream, but now it¡¯s already mid-July.


    She discussed this matter with Mr. Wu. What she meant was to find a chance to let Mr. Wu take a look at the Empress Dowager. If her body was normal, then something else might have happened. She could only remind Shen Fengming to take a closer look. Pay attention.


    Since Mr. Wu is here, there is no problem. He just wondered why Jiang Yunzhu cared so much about the Empress Dowager.


    At this moment, Shen Fengming came in with Yang Cheng, he saw Shen Fengming, seemed to understand something, and was annoyed.


    He regarded Jiang Yunzhu as his granddaughter, seeing that she was really about to be abducted by Shen Fengming, how could he not be annoyed.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s business as usual, or rather, he doesn¡¯t care what Mr. Wu thinks, he only has Jiang Yunzhu in his eyes.


    Jiang Yunzhu really wanted them to get along well, so she let them all sit down. Today, she cooks by herself and cooks some delicious food to clean up Mr. Wu.


    Although Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng often come to the restaurant, they usually come very late and rarely eat dishes cooked by Jiang Yunzhu himself.


    Hearing that Jiang Yunzhu was going to cook in person today, Yang Sheng immediately became happy.


    Jiang Yunzhu got up and went to the kitchen, only Shen Fengming and three were left in the room.


    Shen Fengming sat there, his mind was not here at all, but looking towards the direction of the kitchen.


    Yang Sheng wanted to chat with Mr. Wu, but Mr. Wu turned his head to the side, and Yang Sheng could only sit back on his seat resentfully.


    When Jiang Yunzhu entered the room again, the room was so quiet that it was a bit weird.


    As if he had been pardoned, Yang Sheng immediately stood up and helped Jiang Yunzhu get a bowl of food.


    The atmosphere in the room seemed to change immediately with Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s arrival.


    Jiang Yunzhu first served a bowl of soup for each of the three people, ¡°Flower Mushroom and Egg Soup.¡±


    There was light yellow clear soup in a thin white porcelain cup the size of a tea bowl, and in the clear soup was a fat mushroom, next to it was a whole peeled egg, and next to it was a tender green cabbage heart.


    White eggs, flower mushrooms with beautiful patterns, and green cabbage heart, this dish looks pretty good, but it is too simple. It seems to be a peeled boiled egg and stewed mushroom?


    Shen Fengming glanced at the boiled egg in the porcelain cup of the four of them, and soon found the difference in that egg, it seemed that the egg had no yolk. Ordinary boiled eggs, after peeling the shell, can always see the yolk inside from an angle through the white, but the egg of the four of them has no yolk no matter which angle you look at it from.


    Yang Sheng also found out, ¡°Girl Jiang, you picked it specially, is the egg yolk hidden in the middle of the egg white?¡± So they couldn¡¯t see the egg yolk. However, can Jiang Yunzhu do it? She still picked a lot of eggs to pick these four.


    ¡°Everyone will know after a taste.¡± Jiang Yunzhu decided to keep it a secret. In fact, she made this dish specially for Mr. Wu, he likes such interesting things.


    Sure enough, Mr. Wu was very interested, and he took a spoon and cut directly at the egg.


    The eggs are very tender, but after being cut open, the middle is still white.


    ¡°No egg yolk?¡± Mr. Wu asked.


    Others also cut the eggs in their bowls at different angles, all without yolks.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t an egg, is it?¡± Yang Sheng said. He has seen a lot of vegetarian dishes, which look like meat dishes and can almost be faked, but when he eats them, he knows they are vegetarian dishes.


    As he spoke, he put the egg from the spoon into his mouth.


    In an instant, he had a look of surprise on his face. He was pretty sure it was the egg. It¡¯s just deliciously made.


    ¡°Really eggs?¡± Mr. Wu also ate, and immediately asked Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Eggs, of course.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    ¡°Then why is there no egg yolk? Is there really an egg without a yolk in this world? What kind of egg is this? Take me to see it.¡± Mr. Wu said excitedly.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, ¡°Old man, how can there be such a chicken in this world.¡±


    ¡°Then why don¡¯t your eggs have yolks?¡± Mr. Wu asked urgently.


    Jiang Yunzhu told the recipe of this dish, crack the egg a little, pour out the white first, and then pour out the yolk.


    Egg yolks are not used, put the egg whites in a bowl, add chicken broth, and stir well. Be careful, don¡¯t stir vigorously, otherwise the dish will be useless if there are bubbles.


    Then pour the egg white back into the egg shell, cover it with a vegetable leaf, and steam it in a steamer.


    It must be steamed slowly over low heat so that the protein is heated evenly and cannot be exploded.


    After steaming, take out the egg and peel off the shell, and now there is an egg without a yolk.


    This dish is just to make everyone laugh.


    Of course, the eggs are really delicious too.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± Mr. Wu laughed. This dish is really interesting. What is even more commendable is Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart for him.


    Yang Sheng also laughed.


    There seemed to be a smile in Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes.


    The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and happy.


    After dinner, Jiang Yunzhu discussed with Shen Fengming about asking Mr. Wu to diagnose the empress dowager¡¯s pulse.


    Shen Fengming knew that she did this for him, and his heart was moved.


    The next day, Shen Fengming brought Mr. Wu into the palace.


    Jiang Yunzhu could go or not, but she was worried about Mr. Wu, so she decided to follow him to have a look. She didn¡¯t follow into the Empress Dowager¡¯s bedroom, she just waited outside for news, no one paid her any attention.


    When she was about to leave, she stood up, and suddenly saw a small bottle on the table. It was the elixir given to her by Mr. Wu yesterday, which was said to be life-saving.


    After a pause, she put the medicine into her sleeve, and then she went out of the house and joined Shen Fengming and Mr. Wu.


    The three of them went to the palace.


    Shen Fengming had already made arrangements, when he reached the gate of the palace, he paused for a while, then continued to walk in, to the Empress Dowager¡¯s bedroom.

 Chapter 118

    The carriage drove through the long alleyway, and the three of Shen Fengming dismounted from the horse, and those who got off the carriage got off the carriage. From here, they could only walk to the Empress Dowager¡¯s bedroom.


    Shen Fengming led the way, and the three continued to move forward.


    Walking through the corridors and gazebos all the way, I saw that I was almost at the queen mother¡¯s bedroom.


    At this time, ¡°Cousin!¡± A hoarse female voice said. Immediately, Xiao Liyu appeared from the side with the palace servants, blocking the way of the three of them.


    Shen Fengming frowned slightly.


    His displeased expression hurt Xiao Liyu deeply. Could it be that he hates seeing her? Or, she looked at Jiang Yunzhu. Yesterday, she sent someone to find out everything.


    Jiang Yunzhu, the owner of Time Private Restaurant.


    A chef who cooks, how can she be able to win Shen Fengming¡¯s liking!


    She is pretty? is very beautiful. But there is no shortage of beautiful girls in Beijing. Even Xiao Liyu felt that she was no worse than Jiang Yunzhu in appearance.


    Does she cook well? Even more ridiculous. I¡¯ve never heard of anyone falling in love with a cook because the cook¡¯s food is delicious. At most, it would be fine to invite her home to cook.


    Then what else can this woman in front of him confuse Shen Fengming?


    Xiao Liyu couldn¡¯t see it, nor was she willing to believe that Shen Fengming liked Jiang Yunzhu.


    She stared at Jiang Yunzhu, as if she wanted to dig out a few holes in her body.


    At this time, a figure blocked her view, it was Shen Fengming.


    ¡°Princess, I still have something to do, please get out of the way.¡± He said.


    His obvious action of protecting Jiang Yunzhu made Xiao Liyu¡¯s heart feel cold, and his anger surged even more, ¡°What if I don¡¯t get out of the way! Who are these two people next to you? Why don¡¯t you kneel down when you see this princess!¡±


    Old Man Wu went to the palace before, and Xiao Liyu knew him. Now she just wanted to make it difficult for Jiang Yunzhu, so even Old Man Wu was involved.


    Mr. Wu is not good-tempered either. He raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°Kneel? When the emperor comes, do you think I will kneel? Besides, you are just a princess.¡± He really didn¡¯t talk big. Emperor Long, just stand instead of kneeling.


    Emperor Qinglong knew that he had a weird temper and was not afraid of death. He considered himself a wise king, and if it was because of this, he would not tolerate Wu Yixian, as if he had no measure. Besides, he is not young anymore, and often has some minor problems, but he doesn¡¯t want to be like Cao Cao, killing Hua Tuo, so that no one can heal his illness.


    What¡¯s more, Wu Yixian has taken up the word ¡°immortal¡± and is not a mortal.


    Emperor Qinglong laughed it off.


    On the contrary, this helped Emperor Qinglong¡¯s reputation, and it became a good story, and many people knew about it.


    Xiao Liyu also knew about this, and was suddenly robbed by Mr. Wu, and her face was not very good-looking. She didn¡¯t want to get angry with him, so she directly pointed the finger at Jiang Yunzhu, ¡°Why didn¡¯t she kneel?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to kneel, but was held back by Shen Fengming, unable to move.


    ¡°Princess, we are in a hurry, if the etiquette is not proper, I hope to invite Haihan.¡± Shen Fengming said, pulling Jiang Yunzhu straight forward.


    ¡°You! What do you want to do.¡± Xiao Liyu was forced to take two steps back.


    ¡°We have urgent matters, we are going to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.¡± Shen Fengming¡¯s voice was captivating.


    Xiao Liyu subconsciously took another step back and made way for a path.


    Suddenly, she realized why she gave way to them. She is the princess of the Xia Dynasty, what is Jiang Yunzhu, she is just a civilian girl!


    ¡°Come on.¡± She shouted.


    Hulala, dozens of guards immediately surrounded him.


    ¡°This trickster is rude to this princess, quickly arrest her.¡± Xiao Liyu pointed to Jiang Yunzhu and said.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know at this time that she was targeting her.


    Those guards immediately surrounded Shen Fengming and the three of them.


    Shen Fengming showed no fear on his face, he just protected Jiang Yunzhu behind him, and glanced at the crowd, ¡°I brought this man in, I will report to the emperor personally what the situation is like.¡±


    All the guards recognized him, they stopped immediately and looked at each other, what should we do now?


    Rush up? Then there would be a conflict with Shen Fengming. They really have to weigh in, whether they can do it.


    back down? The princess is still watching.


    The more Shen Fengming defended Jiang Yunzhu, the more he proved that he was different from Jiang Yunzhu, Xiao Liyu almost fainted from anger at this moment.


    ¡°Get her up for me, don¡¯t you hear! Get her up,¡± she yelled.


    The guards wanted to step forward, but they seemed a little hesitant.


    At this time, the Compassion Ning Palace was in chaos. Some palace people hurriedly ran around.


    Someone went to call the imperial physician, and someone went to inform the emperor.


    Not long ago, the empress dowager was drinking tea in the palace when she suddenly passed out and became unconscious.


    The Empress Dowager was not in good health, and there was an imperial physician serving in the palace all year round. After the incident, Imperial Physician Zheng immediately helped the Empress Dowager to diagnose and treat him, but he was so frightened that he was out of his wits. The Empress Dowager had a stroke.


    ¡°Quickly, report to the emperor quickly, and then invite Imperial Physician Chu to come.¡± Imperial Physician Zheng said with cold hands and feet.


    The Imperial Physician Chu is the best imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital.


    Seeing that he was so frightened, the servants immediately knew that the situation was not good, and immediately became flustered.


    Nanny Qi is an old man who serves the empress dowager, and she is loyal to the empress dowager. At this time, she was anxious and didn¡¯t care much, so she asked Zheng Taiyi, ¡°How is the empress dowager?¡±


    Imperial Physician Zheng didn¡¯t want to say it at first, but Nanny Qi became cruel, and then Imperial Physician Zheng muttered, ¡°It seems to be a stroke.¡±


    ¡°Stroke¡­¡± Nanny Qi felt that her eyes were darkened, and the world was spinning. At the age of the Empress Dowager, with this disease, she almost¡­


    She fell limp to the ground.


    Emperor Qinglong soon got the news and came to the Palace of Compassion.


    Seeing the empress dowager was still lying on the ground, he was furious, what a bold slave, he didn¡¯t take the empress dowager seriously.


    At this time, Imperial Physician Zheng said tremblingly, ¡°The emperor calms down, the empress dowager seems to have suffered a stroke, it¡¯s best not to move until she understands the condition, so as not to aggravate the condition.¡±


    After Emperor Qinglong heard this, his anger didn¡¯t diminish at all. He suffered a stroke. The Empress Dowager actually suffered a stroke. How did these people serve her? Damn it all!


    All the people in the Palace of Compassion and Peace fell to their knees, not daring to show their breath, for fear that the emperor would execute them all in his wrath.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t treated the empress dowager yet.¡± Fortunately, Emperor Qinglong didn¡¯t care about dealing with them at this time, so he forced to ask the doctor Zheng.


    ¡°The empress dowager has a noble phoenix body, her illness came too fast, and my minister¡¯s medical skills are not good, so I¡¯m afraid that the empress dowager¡¯s illness will be missed, so I¡¯d better wait for the imperial doctor of Chu to come and replace the empress dowager¡­¡±


    ¡°Trash.¡± Emperor Qing Long kicked him down and said angrily.


    Doctor Zheng was trembling, not daring to argue.


    At this time, Imperial Physician Chu came, and seeing such a scene, he cried out inwardly. But when he thought of seeing that person just now, his heart settled down again.


    He wanted to salute Emperor Qinglong.


    ¡°Quickly treat the Empress Dowager, if it doesn¡¯t work, I will kill you!¡± Emperor Qinglong said anxiously.


    Physician Chu hurriedly treated the Empress Dowager. He had excellent medical skills, and he knew that the Empress Dowager¡¯s disease was very dangerous as soon as he checked the pulse, and he could not cure it at all.


    ¡°Back to the emperor, the empress dowager¡¯s illness, I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s nothing I can do.¡± The doctor of Chu said, before Emperor Qinglong got angry, he continued, ¡°I¡¯m afraid only Wu Yixian and his old man can cure it.¡±


    Emperor Qinglong came from the Zhengde Hall, and he didn¡¯t see the scene where Shen Fengming and the three were surrounded. Hearing this, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. Wu Yixian, he doesn¡¯t know where he is. When he comes, the Empress Dowager will soon¡­


    ¡°Your Majesty, when I came, I saw Wu Yixian was at Shuiyue Pavilion, and a team of guards seemed to be about to arrest him.¡± Imperial Physician Chu explained.


    Emperor Qinglong was very surprised, and then he was ecstatic, Wu Yixian came? Could it be that God helped him? As for the matter of the guards wanting to arrest Wu Yixian, he sees, who would dare!


    ¡°Quickly, invite Wu Yixian.¡± He said.


    ¡°Your Majesty, I want to invite you personally.¡± Nanny Qi said immediately. She knew that Wu Yixian had a weird personality, and she was afraid that the people who went would offend him, and if he got angry and refused to treat the empress dowager, it would be bad.


    It¡¯s safe for her to go in person.


    Emperor Qinglong nodded, and Nanny Qi was still reliable.


    ¡°You go and come back quickly.¡±


    ¡°yes.¡±


    As Nanny Qi said, she withdrew and walked quickly to Shuiyue Pavilion.


    Here Shen Fengming and the others are still confronting each other.


    When Nanny Qi saw Wu Yixian, it was like seeing a fairy Bodhisattva. She walked over and said, ¡°Wu Yixian, please follow me.¡±


    Wu Yixian glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and snorted, ¡°Someone doesn¡¯t want to let me go!¡± He said, of course, it was Xiao Liyu.


    Nanny Qi looked at Xiao Liyu, ¡°Princess Ten, what¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°They were rude to this princess.¡± Xiao Liyu gritted her teeth.


    Wu Yixian snorted again, looking very angry.


    Nanny Qi wished she could slap Xiao Liyu twice. At this time of year, she could not get along with Wu Yixian, or the empress dowager!


    She immediately said in a deep voice, ¡°The empress dowager is seriously ill, and the emperor wants to see Wu Yixian.¡±


    As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was taken aback. The empress dowager was seriously ill, that was a big deal.


    Recalling Shen Fengming¡¯s urgent matter just now, everyone fell to their knees in fright. They have committed a serious crime, preventing Wu Yixian from treating the Empress Dowager. If the emperor pursues it, their heads are not enough to chop off.


    Xiao Liyu also thought of this, her face turned pale with shock, she never thought that what Shen Fengming said was true.


    Shen Fengming was a little surprised, and then became anxious, the Empress Dowager¡¯s illness is unknown.


    Now, he directly led the people to the empress dowager¡¯s bedroom.


    No one dares to stop it!


    Soon, everyone came to the empress dowager¡¯s bedroom.


    Before going in, ¡°Master.¡± Jiang Yunzhu worried about Mr. Wu and called out in a low voice.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Mr. Wu waved his hand. For Jiang Yunzhu, he will also heal the empress dowager.


    Later, Emperor Qinglong discovered that Wu Yixian seemed to be very talkative today, and he even saluted him when he came in, which was unprecedented before.


    He was even more delighted, and asked Wu Yixian to get up and quickly treat the empress dowager.


    Wu Yixian took the empress dowager¡¯s pulse, checked her eyes, and shook his head.


    ¡°How is it?¡± Seeing him like this, Emperor Qinglong became worried again.


    Wu Yixian¡¯s unconscious eyes glanced at Jiang Yunzhu. The empress dowager¡¯s illness is too urgent, and she must be stabilized before she can be cured slowly. The medicine he gave her yesterday is useful, but he has already given it to her. Naturally, there is no reason to want it back, so he Just shook his head.


    Jiang Yunzhu was blessed to the heart, took out the bottle of medicine and handed it to him, the most important thing is to save lives!

 Chapter 119

    Everyone saw this scene, but they didn¡¯t know what was in the bottle.


    At this time, Wu Yixian opened the bottle, and a scent of medicine wafted out instantly, and the spirits of those who smelled it were shocked. Everyone still doesn¡¯t know that what is contained in this medicine bottle is a life-saving panacea.


    But why is this elixir in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s hands.


    Everyone had doubts in their hearts, and they didn¡¯t dare to ask at this juncture, they all looked at Wu Yixian.


    Wu Yixian poured a purple-black pill from the bottle, put it in water, and let the empress dowager take it.


    Then he asked someone to help the empress dowager to the bed.


    The Empress Dowager¡¯s complexion was originally dark red and purple, but after taking this medicine, her complexion obviously improved a lot.


    At this time, Wu Yixian gave her another needle.


    After half an hour, Wu Yixian pulled out the last needle, heaved a sigh of relief, his face and body were covered with beads of sweat, and his clothes were already soaked.


    ¡°How is it?¡± Emperor Qinglong asked.


    ¡°A few more needles, nothing serious.¡± Doctor Wu said.


    Only then did everyone let go of their hearts, and only then did everyone realize that they were also covered in sweat.


    In mid-July, the weather was hot, everyone was tense and naturally sweated profusely.


    Well now, it¡¯s raining and sunny.


    At this time someone came outside, it was Princess Danyang, she was outside the city, when she heard that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, she rushed back immediately, and only entered the palace at this moment.


    She came in to check the situation of the empress dowager first, and she was very happy when she heard that she was fine, and then she noticed Jiang Yunzhu and Wu Yixian on the side.


    ¡°Brother Huang, what¡¯s the matter?¡± she asked.


    Emperor Qinglong also wondered why Wu Yixian came to the palace just by chance. In today¡¯s situation, if it weren¡¯t for him, the empress dowager would have been in trouble. By the way, there is also the elixir.


    All eyes were on Wu Yixian.


    Wu Yixian snorted, and emptied the medicine bottle in front of everyone. There is only one medicine in it, and it has already been used, so no one needs to use this medicine anymore. As for why he is here, ¡°Someone invited me here.¡± Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t come to this place to wade through the muddy waters. When he said this, he glanced at Jiang Yunzhu.


    Everyone followed his gaze.


    Jiang Yunzhu knew that there were some things that had to be made clear. She blessed her with a gift, and said, ¡°Report to the emperor, it is the daughter of the people who is bold enough to invite Immortal Wu to come.¡±


    What¡¯s going on, she didn¡¯t say anything about her relationship with Shen Fengming, she only said that the last time she came to cook for the Empress Dowager, she didn¡¯t seem to be in good health. It happened that she knew Wu Yixian, so she wanted to invite him to treat the Empress Dowager , Who would have thought that it happened to happen today.


    As for the medicine, it was originally given to her by Wu Yixian, and it was also the empress dowager who was blessed with great blessings. Wu Yixian happened to get the Jiuqu Lingshen when he went to Huashan this time.


    What she said was impeccable.


    After hearing this, Emperor Qinglong praised and was overjoyed. He praised that Jiang Yunzhu had a heart. Everyone in the palace knew that the empress dowager was in poor health, but who would have thought of helping the empress dowager to seek medical advice? Even he was slack, but Jiang Yunzhu remembered this when he entered the palace for the first time.


    He looked at Jiang Yunzhu again and nodded slightly.


    Princess Danyang¡¯s heart was twitching. After the incident last time, she deliberately put Jiang Yunzhu aside. Unexpectedly, she kept thinking about the empress dowager¡¯s illness.


    Nanny Qi feels similar to Emperor Qinglong, the more she looks at Jiang Yunzhu, the more she likes her. If it wasn¡¯t for her today, she wouldn¡¯t dare to think about what would happen to the empress dowager.


    If something happened to the empress dowager¡­ Nanny Qi felt that there was no meaning for her to live.


    Thinking of this, she felt that she should seek justice for Jiang Yunzhu.


    So she said, ¡°My Majesty, Miss Jiang is very kind, but when the servants went to invite Wu Yixian just now, someone prevented them from coming to treat the Empress Dowager.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Emperor Qinglong was annoyed when he heard it, who is so bold!


    At this time Xiao Liyu was entering the palace with Concubine Wu Gui, when she heard this, she turned pale with fright, and quickly knelt down to apologize. She didn¡¯t know that Wu Yixian was here to treat the Empress Dowager, otherwise she wouldn¡¯t dare to stop her if she had some courage.


    Concubine Wu Gui didn¡¯t know that this happened before, and secretly scolded her daughter for being so confused, but at this time, she could only kneel down quickly and intercede for Xiao Liyu.


    Emperor Qinglong reprimanded Concubine Wu and Concubine Xiao Liyu a lot, I don¡¯t know if it was because of today¡¯s incident, or he used the topic to play, reprimanded Concubine Wu for being arrogant and rude, and Concubine Wu for being incapable of raising children.


    In the end, he punished Xiao Liyu for three months as a punishment.


    Where there is punishment, there is reward. Jiang Yunzhu invited doctors and donated medicines for the empress dowager, which saved her life. Sincerely, she was named the head of Yunrong County, and she was given five hundred shi.


    The county head, the daughter of the county king of the Xia Dynasty can generally be named the county head. The Xia Dynasty implemented a feudal system of vassal kings. The royal family members of the Xia Dynasty were all feudal vassals, but the land was not divided. Therefore, there were many vassal kings and clans in the Xia Dynasty. Jiang Yunzhu was only named a small county head. This capital city where princes gather is nothing at all.


    All the people in the field were extremely noble figures from Xia Dynasty. If they saw a county magistrate, they would probably not give her a look. But now, everyone looked at Jiang Yunzhu, thinking in their hearts.


    Jiang Yunzhu was a little worried, she didn¡¯t think about being the county head, she just thought about whether the empress dowager could avoid the bad luck in her dream.


    At this time, she noticed a gaze, it was Shen Fengming, he was looking at her.


    Although he didn¡¯t say anything, Jiang Yunzhu seemed to feel his heart, and his heart gradually settled down.


    After returning from the palace, Xue Jing opened his mouth wide in surprise when he knew that Jiang Yunzhu had been made the head of Yunrong County. He found that his boss always had something unexpected.


    Jiang Yunzhu laughed, he was just a county lord, except that the five hundred stone township was real, but he had no power or influence.


    Of course, one thing is good, when she sees all the nobles in the future, she doesn¡¯t need to kneel down, all she needs is a blessing.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t pay too much attention to the county lord¡¯s affairs, and continued to build a fleet, which was a big money-making business.


    Soon, interested people found out about it and had mixed reactions to it.


    The four bosses, Luo and Du, feel more and more that it is right to follow Jiang Yunzhu. A few days ago, Jiang Yunzhu was just like them, an ordinary citizen. Now, she is the county lord of Yunrong.


    Although this position is not high, it is of great significance.


    After thinking for a long time, they offered to reduce the price of the goods sold to Jiang Yunzhu by 10%.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t agree, she knew that the price was already very low, and she didn¡¯t want Luo and Du to lose money. We can make money together for a long time.


    Boss Luo and the others were convinced, and they became more determined to follow her.


    Lin Ting¡¯an also found out about this very quickly. Jiang Yunzhu knew Wu Yixian, and he knew it, so today¡¯s matter was nothing.


    Just a small county head.


    Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s reaction was relatively big. The note in Xiao Liyu¡¯s carriage was actually thrown in by her. That day, seeing Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s radiant face like in a dream, and Xiao Liyu¡¯s superiority, she was always resentful in her heart.


    Later she thought, if Xiao Liyu knew that Shen Fengming liked Jiang Yunzhu¡­ there would definitely be a good show.


    According to her guess, Jiang Yunzhu was just a commoner girl, but Xiao Liyu was the most honorable princess in the Xia Dynasty, so Jiang Yunzhu would definitely end up miserable. Then she can still smile.


    It¡¯s just that the result was beyond her imagination, Jiang Yunzhu was named the county head, but Xiao Liyu was grounded?


    Impossible, Jiang Yunxiu couldn¡¯t believe it at all, but it was true.


    She stood there blankly, not knowing how to react for a long time.


    In Chonghua Palace, Imperial Concubine Wu wanted to slap Xiao Liyu as soon as she came back, but luckily the palace people next to her stopped her.


    ¡°Kneel down.¡± Concubine Wu said with a livid face.


    Xiao Liyu knelt down, still very unconvinced. Today is just Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s luck.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Wu Guifei asked.


    Xiao Liyu didn¡¯t talk about it at first, but later she told about Shen Fengming¡¯s liking for Jiang Yunzhu.


    After hearing this, Concubine Wu Gui was also amazed.


    Shen Fengming, would he like women? She is different from Xiao Liyu, she thinks more. For example, since Shen Fengming likes women, why does he keep rejecting Xiao Liyu? Is it because he really doesn¡¯t like Xiao Liyu, or is Xiao Liyu¡¯s identity¡­


    If it was the latter, her heart sank.


    At the same time, she was even more annoyed at Xiao Liyu¡¯s presumptuous assertion. This matter, of course, needs to be considered and planned carefully, but now she has ruined it all.


    ¡°I used to spoil you too much. From now on, you should stay in the palace well and learn to manage palace affairs from me.¡± Concubine Wu said.


    Xiao Liyu felt aggrieved, Shen Fengming liked girls, isn¡¯t that¡­ She wanted to argue, but seeing Concubine Wu¡¯s expression, she swallowed her words back.


    From this day on, no matter what Concubine Wu does, she always brings Xiao Liyu with her, so that she can know that it is not so easy to survive in this harem.


    On the first day, Concubine Wu just said a few words, trying to find out that a new maid in the palace was actually sent by the empress.


    The next day, the court lady slipped and fell into the well, and died.


    Day three, day four, day five¡­


    On the eighth day, Concubine Wu had a charming appearance. When she was young, she was so beautiful that Emperor Qinglong loved her so much.


    Even now, she gave birth to a pair of sons and daughters, who are still dazzlingly beautiful.


    It¡¯s just that she is getting older, no matter how much she takes care of her eyes, fine lines begin to appear at the corners of her eyes.


    There is a new Sumerian in the palace, who looks very similar to her when she was young, and she is also extremely beautiful. As soon as she entered the palace, Emperor Qinglong was attracted by her and often stayed with her.


    It didn¡¯t take long for Su Meiren to be promoted to Su Jieyu.


    This Su Jieyu was actually arranged by the queen to enter the palace. She is younger than Concubine Wu, more beautiful than Concubine Wu, and more understanding than Concubine Wu, of course she is in Emperor Qinglong¡¯s favor.


    This is also a thorn in Concubine Wu Gui¡¯s heart.


    However, on this day, Emperor Qinglong saw a picture of lotus flowers on the wall, and thought that the lotus flowers in Su Jieyu¡¯s palace were the best. disheveled, **** with a guard¡­


    Emperor Qinglong was furious, and directly killed the two of them.


    Regarding this, Concubine Wu¡¯s original words were, ¡°No man can accept that his woman has someone else.¡±


    After everyone dispersed, Xiao Liyu took out a small box. It was precisely because of the contents of this small box that Su Jieyu was so presumptuous.


    Xiao Liyu looked at the small box for a long time, then put it in her sleeve.

 Chapter 120

    At the end of July, after half a month of treatment, the empress dowager¡¯s stroke was healed, and even the disease of forgetting things before was relieved a lot. She even remembered that it was Jiang Yunzhu who asked the doctor to offer her medicine for her, and also remembered that Jiang Yunzhu was special in cooking. tasty.


    Therefore, Jiang Yunzhu often went to the palace to help the empress dowager cook.


    Every time she enters the palace, Shen Fengming will definitely accompany her, fearing that she will encounter any embarrassing things in the palace.


    The imperial palace is divided into the outer palace and the inner palace. The inner palace is the place where the harem concubines live. Ordinary people and even some unfavored princes are not allowed to enter for nothing. Of course, the Empress Dowager loves Shen Fengming, and Shen Fengming can walk freely.


    It¡¯s just sixteen but he is not allowed to enter the inner palace, and can only wait in the outer palace every time.


    It was already the beginning of August, and the empress dowager¡¯s body became stronger and stronger. Jiang Yunzhu knew that she had avoided the bad luck in her dream, and felt relieved.


    On this day, Shen Fengming gave Jiang Yunzhu a bracelet. This bracelet looks like an ordinary silver bracelet, but it is actually a delicate hidden weapon. As long as you press the yellow gemstone on the bracelet, a flying needle will be shot out of the bracelet. The flying needle is coated with anesthetics. Those who are hit by the flying needle will faint within a few breaths.


    And if you press the blue gemstone, the flying needle shot out is highly poisonous, and those who fall into it will soon die of poison.


    Having experienced being **** that night, Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t refuse his kindness and put the bracelet on her hand.


    Not to mention, this bracelet is actually quite beautiful, she likes it.


    Two or three days later, the empress dowager wanted to eat Taibai duck made by Jiang Yunzhu, so Jiang Yunzhu entered the palace early.


    Shen Fengming rode a horse and accompanied him.


    When the two arrived at the gate of the palace, they happened to meet Lin Ting¡¯an.


    Xiao Liyu was grounded and could not leave the Chonghua Palace. Now Lin Ting¡¯an could only enter the palace to see her.


    ¡°Shen Dudu.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an saluted Shen Fengming.


    Shen Fengming just nodded, not paying attention to his meaning.


    Lin Ting¡¯an lowered his long eyelashes to hide the emotion in his eyes.


    Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Fengming went to the Empress Dowager¡¯s Cining Palace, while Lin Ting¡¯an went to the Chonghua Palace.


    An hour later, Jiang Yunzhu had finished the meal, and Nanny Qi came over and said, ¡°The emperor is here today, and he is having dinner with the queen mother, Dudu Shen is with him, and the county magistrate¡­¡±


    Every time Jiang Yunzhu came, Shen Fengming would follow, and both of them came and walked together, Nanny Qi and even the empress dowager could vaguely see something, the empress dowager became more and more kind to Jiang Yunzhu, and sometimes even let her eat together.


    But when the emperor is here, it is different.


    Jiang Yunzhu understood that she was hesitating whether to leave first by herself, or to wait here and wait for Shen Fengming to join her.


    ¡°The county lord is hungry too, why don¡¯t you take a rest first, I¡¯ll ask them to prepare some food for you, and we¡¯ll talk after you finish eating.¡± Nanny Qi thought about it.


    One, Jiang Yunzhu has been cooking for so long, the weather is hot in summer, she is sweating all over her body, she really should take a break and have some food, otherwise even if it is already evening, the sun is still shining, it is too hard for her to go back like this.


    Second, maybe after the emperor leaves, the empress dowager still wants to see Jiang Yunzhu.


    After she said that, Jiang Yunzhu nodded in agreement.


    Nanny Qi asked a young **** to come over and lead Jiang Yunzhu to rest in the side hall, while she was going to serve the Empress Dowager.


    Jiang Yunzhu followed the little **** to the side hall, where ice was placed, and as soon as he entered, there was a cold air, Jiang Yunzhu sighed comfortably.


    The little **** was very good at doing things, first brought Jiang Yunzhu a pot of hot water, then brought her towels and other things, and finally brought her hot tea, and then stepped back.


    Jiang Yunzhu put the towel into hot water, soaked it, then wrung it dry, and wiped the sweat off his face.


    At this moment, someone knocked on the door, it was a court lady, who came to deliver food to Jiang Yunzhu.


    So fast? It was estimated that it was the meal time, and the imperial dining room had prepared meals, Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t think much about it, and let the maid in.


    The palace maid held a tray with four dishes and one soup on it.


    ¡°Put it there.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said before she finished wiping her face.


    ¡°Yes.¡± The maid agreed, put the tray on the table, and quietly looked at Jiang Yunzhu while laying the food on the table.


    Seeing Jiang Yunzhu bow her head and twist the towel, she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and shook it lightly.


    Jiang Yunzhu smelled a sweet fragrance, that fragrance¡­ no, this fragrance is good¡­ she lost consciousness before she could think of anything more.


    Seeing that she had fainted, the palace lady hurried over to pick her up and went outside.


    Jiang Yunzhu only felt hot, so hot, so uncomfortable, she opened her eyes impatiently, but saw a bunch of flowers, and a man?


    The man looked very ordinary. He was wearing the clothes of a guard, but he was taking off his clothes at this time.


    Jiang Yunzhu turned pale with shock, her heart was much clearer, looking carefully, it seemed to be behind a bush of flowers, it seemed to be still inside the palace, but she didn¡¯t know where it was.


    Seeing that she was awake, the man on the opposite side looked guilty at first, then gritted his teeth, took off his shirt, and walked towards Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± Jiang Yunzhu wanted to stand up, but felt that her body was very soft, and with all her strength, she just stepped back a little.


    The man didn¡¯t speak, and grabbed her arm.


    Jiang Yunzhu hurriedly said, ¡°Shen Fengming, Governor Shen, do you know that I belong to him, if you hurt me, you know the result.¡± The situation is urgent, she knows that talking about it is nonsense, so she can only talk about Shen Fengming , I hope his vicious name can deter the opponent for a while.


    Sure enough, fear flashed across the man¡¯s face.


    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Yunzhu seemed to be struggling to stand up again. In fact, she had adjusted the direction of the bracelet. If the other party still refused to let her go¡­


    Of course the man would not let Jiang Yunzhu go, he came here with the determination to die.


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to press the gemstone button on the bracelet, but at this moment, a rush of enthusiasm surged up, and she felt her head was dizzy, her hands had no strength, and she didn¡¯t know if she pressed the button, or which button she pressed.


    The man was already close at hand, and Jiang Yunzhu felt sick and flustered, and couldn¡¯t even call for help.


    Seeing that the man had reached out to tear her clothes off, she used up her last bit of strength to press the button on the bracelet again.


    The man suddenly widened his eyes and fell to the side.


    If Jiang Yunzhu was conscious, she should know that the flying needle she shot before had already worked, but now her mind seemed to be in a mess, subconsciously, pressing the button on the bracelet until she saw the man fall to the ground.


    She was limp there, her mind was blank.


    Suddenly, there was a tingling pain in her arm, and she regained consciousness for a short time. It turned out that her arm touched the flowers next to her just now. There were thorns on those roses, and the thorns scratched her skin.


    Jiang Yunzhu seized this opportunity and reached out to hold the rose thorn.


    More tingling sensations came, and she became more awake. She knew that her condition was not right, and she should have been given some kind of medicine.


    She has to leave here quickly and find Shen Fengming or Shiliu, only then will she be safe.


    She tore a branch from the rose, held it in her hand, barely stood up, and looked around.


    This is a garden, it doesn¡¯t seem to be an imperial garden, I don¡¯t know where it is.


    There was no one around.


    While she was anxious, she caught sight of the sparkling lake in the south, and hurriedly staggered towards it.


    At this time, in Chonghua Palace, Lin Ting¡¯an and Xiao Liyu were admiring the flowers together, but their minds were not here, so neither of them spoke.


    Suddenly, a court lady came in a hurry, seeming to be in a hurry.


    ¡°I¡¯m not feeling well, I want to rest.¡± Xiao Liyu said to Lin Tingan.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an said empathetically.


    Xiao Liyu left quickly, but Lin Tingan did not.


    After eating with the Empress Dowager, Emperor Qinglong got up and left.


    The empress dowager was getting old, and she wanted to tilt her head after eating.


    Seeing this, Shen Fengming got up and said goodbye.


    ¡°County Master Yunrong is in the side hall.¡± Nanny Qi waited for the Empress Dowager to lie down, and said to Shen Fengming in a low voice.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Shen Fengming left, went to the side hall to find Jiang Yunzhu, and wanted to go back with her.


    Who knows, the side hall is empty. There are still meals on the table, but no one has eaten the meals at all.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s face immediately changed, ¡°Where¡¯s Yunrong county master?¡± His voice was as sharp as a cold knife.


    No one answered, and no one saw Jiang Yunzhu.


    Shen Fengming was about to go to Nanny Qi, at this moment, a **** said tremblingly, ¡°The slave saw that County Master Yunrong was in the house, and after a while, a guard knocked on the door.


    The head of Yunrong County asked, ¡®Who is it? ¡®


    The guard said, ¡®It¡¯s me. ¡®


    County Lord Yunrong opened the door and left with the guard. ¡°


    Anyone could hear what he said. He meant that the guard had something to do with Jiang Yunzhu, and Jiang Yunzhu followed him and left.


    Shen Fengming grabbed his neck and almost strangled him to death, ¡°Where did she go?¡± He didn¡¯t believe that Jiang Yunzhu would go with others, but he knew that Jiang Yunzhu must be in danger.


    Extremely angry, it took him a lot of effort to control it, and he didn¡¯t break the eunuch¡¯s neck immediately.


    The **** was so frightened that he peed on his pants, unable to speak, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the west.


    Shen Fengming squeezed him a little harder, and he passed out, ¡°Watch him, don¡¯t allow him to commit suicide, otherwise you are all accomplices.¡± After leaving this sentence, he jumped westward.


    The look in his eyes before he left scared everyone into silence. In the summer, everyone actually felt cold.


    After he left for quite a while, all the people hurriedly bound the eunuch¡¯s hands and feet, and removed his chin, for fear that he would commit suicide, Shen Fengming came back and let them enter the Zhenfu Division.


    In that place, few people who went in came out whole.


    The place where Jiang Yunzhu was located was Xiyuan, not too far from the Palace of Compassion and Peace.


    It seemed that there was no one in Xiyuan, but in fact someone was watching from a distance, waiting for Shen Fengming to find out that Jiang Yunzhu had left with someone, so he came to look for someone, and came across that glamorous scene.


    It¡¯s just that there was no movement behind the flowers for a long time, logically speaking, it should be¡­


    Someone went to check, but only saw the man¡¯s eyes wide open, falling to the ground. Jiang Yunzhu disappeared.


    ¡°Where¡¯s the person?¡± ¡°Look for him!¡± Several people immediately looked around for him, but they didn¡¯t find any trace of Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Don¡¯t look for it, Dudu Shen is coming soon, then¡­¡± The speaker shuddered.


    A few people didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer and left quickly.


    After they left, a person came out from behind the big tree, it was Lin Ting¡¯an. He looked at the back of the flowers thoughtfully, suddenly, he picked up a piece of fabric from a rose next to him, his pupils shrank slightly, if he remembered correctly, Jiang Yunzhu was wearing this Qibaolian blue dress when he entered the palace today.


    He took the cloth, looked around, saw the lake in the south, and immediately remembered the last time Jiang Yunzhu escaped under his nose, she walked by the waterway at that time.


    Unexpectedly, she fell into his hands again.


    Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s heart skipped a beat, he held back his excitement, and looked at the lake. Immediately, he quickly headed towards the southwest corner of the lake, and he concluded that if Jiang Yunzhu was really in the lake, he would definitely come ashore from there.


    Not long after he left, Shen Fengming came to Xiyuan and saw the dead body.


    He immediately recognized that this person died from the poisonous flying needle on Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s wrist.


    Jiang Yunzhu has been here before, and the situation must be bad.


    There were a few drops of bright red blood on the nearby flowers, and the blood color stimulated Shen Fengming¡¯s nerves.


    He stood up and looked around. Soon, his eyes also fell on that lake, and then jumped towards the southwest corner of the lake.


    Jiang Yunzhu was indeed in the lake, and she knew that she must have been drugged with a love potion or something, and getting into the water would keep her awake for a while. Moreover, following the water, she can also leave this dangerous place first.


    In midsummer, even the lake water seemed to become warmer. After Jiang Yunzhu entered the water, she felt comfortable for a while, and the suppressed heat surged up again.


    Not daring to delay any longer, she swam towards the southwest corner of the lake.


    Seeing that it was about to arrive, suddenly, she saw someone on the shore, and hurriedly dived into the water.


    Lin Ting¡¯an has already seen Jiang Yunzhu, she is like a fish swimming in the water, agile and beautiful.


    And he was about to catch this fish!


    He stopped and stood on the shore, waiting for Jiang Yunzhu to show up.


    Jiang Yunzhu also vaguely saw that the person on the shore was Lin Ting¡¯an. She was anxious, and the heat in her body became more and more intense. The strength in her body also disappeared, and she was unable to support her to swim elsewhere.


    The more anxious I became, the more I couldn¡¯t hold back the breath in my belly.


    She had no choice but to surface.


    As the sun sets, the warm sunlight shines on the lake, and the lake sparkles like gold.


    Jiang Yunzhu slowly emerged from the water, her delicate face was flushed with blush, her eyes were watery and her skin was crisp.


    A head of beautiful hair stuck to her body, outlining her graceful figure.


    Today she was wearing a long skirt embroidered with Seven Treasure Lotuses in blue and blue, and now that the long skirt was attached to her body, the alluring peaks and waist were undoubtedly revealed as she moved out of the water.


    And because her body was covered with water droplets, when the sun shone on her, her whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of broken golden light.


    Gorgeous and holy, Luoshen came out of the water, which is not enough to describe the beautiful scenery in front of him. Lin Ting¡¯an only felt that his blood was throbbing, and only the person in the lake was left in his eyes.


    And Shen Fengming who rushed over from there also happened to see this scene, he lost his mind for a moment, then fixed his eyes on Lin Ting¡¯an, his eyes were full of killing intent.

 Chapter 121

    Lin Ting¡¯an also saw Shen Fengming, and before he had time to react, Shen Fengming had already attacked him, with a fatal move.


    Lin Ting¡¯an was furious and wished he could kill Shen Fengming on the spot.


    The two immediately fought.


    Lin Ting¡¯an has been taught by a famous teacher, and he himself has practiced hard for many years. His kung fu is really good, but opposite him is Shen Fengming, the man who survived countless fights to the end.


    Soon, Lin Ting¡¯an was at a disadvantage.


    Jiang Yunzhu also saw Shen Fengming and swam to the shore with his last strength.


    When she finally came to the shore, the evil fire in her heart could no longer be suppressed, and her whole body was limp without any strength.


    ¡°Shen Fengming.¡± She called.


    This was the first time she called his name, not Young Master Shen, nor Lord Shen.


    Because of the medicine, the voice was charming and tactful, and it contained some small animal-like grievances, which directly hooked people¡¯s hearts.


    Shen Fengming stopped immediately, turned around and saw that Jiang Yunzhu could no longer hold on, and fell into the water.


    He didn¡¯t care about Lin Ting¡¯an anymore, and immediately jumped to Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s side, put his arms around her, took off his coat to cover her body, then picked her up, and quickly went out of the palace.


    He has already seen that Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s condition is not right, he wants to take her to Wu Yixian to see what kind of poison she has.


    Lin Tingan stood there in a daze. Just now, if it wasn¡¯t for Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s soft call, he would have died. Shen Fengming, really want to kill him!


    He didn¡¯t die, but he couldn¡¯t be happy at all when he saw the backs of the two of them going away. It was as if a block of iron had been crushed in my heart, and I felt uncomfortable.


    Here, Shen Fengming was very fast, and soon came to the outer palace, and met Shiliu.


    ¡°Lord Governor.¡± Shiliu asked nervously, and she also noticed Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s abnormality.


    ¡°Go back and find Immortal Wu, and ask him to get ready to see a doctor. Then prepare a basin of cold water.¡± Shen Fengming quickly ordered, then carried Jiang Yunzhu in his arms and continued forward until he came to the carriage.


    ¡°Lord Governor.¡± Zhan Changchuan was in charge of driving the carriage.


    ¡°Go back to the restaurant.¡± Shen Fengming carried Jiang Yunzhu into the car and ordered.


    Zhan Changchuan immediately drove the carriage and rushed out.


    Sixteen also acted.


    Shen Fengming had already guessed what kind of medicine Jiang Yunzhu contained at this time.


    Jiang Yunzhu was hugged by Shen Fengming, and he smelled the unique fragrance of the moon in his nose, and the last trace of rationality disappeared.


    She wrapped her arms around his neck, her body was weak and boneless, and climbed onto his body.


    Shen Fengming took out a medicine bottle from his waist, poured out a medicine, and fed it into Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s mouth.


    With a cool mouth, Jiang Yunzhu regained some consciousness, ¡°Shen Fengming.¡± She murmured.


    ¡°I¡¯m here. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Shen Fengming hugged her tightly, he promised to protect her, but failed to protect her, which made him feel guilty and angry.


    ¡°I¡¯m uncomfortable.¡± Jiang Yunzhu looked at him with blurred eyes and said.


    ¡°I know. I gave you a Qingxin Pill, which should relieve your symptoms. When you get back to the restaurant¡­¡±


    After Shen Fengming¡¯s words were gone, Jiang Yunzhu suddenly kissed him.


    This was the first time she kissed him actively.


    Shen Fengming only felt a bang in his head, and the thing called rationality almost disappeared. He struggled for a long time before pushing Jiang Yunzhu away.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at him, seeming aggrieved.


    The red lips parted slightly, and the eyes were moist and misty, which seemed to be seductive, especially the aggrieved look, which made people want to love her fiercely.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know how attractive he looked now.


    ¡°You are poisoned.¡± Shen Fengming said in a hoarse voice.


    ¡°I want you.¡± Jiang Yunzhu approached again.


    Shen Fengming hugged her into his arms, holding her tightly so that she could not move.


    ¡°I know, wait a while, wait a while and go back to the restaurant.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t move, felt uncomfortable physically and sadly. Because she couldn¡¯t think normally, she felt that Shen Fengming didn¡¯t like her at all. Disappointed, wronged, and mixed with various emotions, she bit his neck very hard.


    There was a **** smell in the air, but Shen Fengming didn¡¯t feel any pain at all. Compared to his original suffering, the pain on his neck was nothing at all.


    Zhan Changchuan¡¯s carriage was driving fast, Shi Shi Restaurant was not too far from the palace, and soon, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.


    ¡°Here we are, Commander,¡± he reported.


    Shen Fengming got out of the car with Jiang Yunzhu in his arms.


    Wu Yixian got the news early and was waiting.


    Shen Fengming took out one of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s wrists, Wu Yixian checked the pulse, and immediately jumped up, ¡°What a poisonous medicine! Who is it, who¡­¡±


    ¡°How to treat it.¡± Shen Fengming interrupted him, he would find out whoever gave the medicine, now let¡¯s cure Jiang Yunzhu first.


    How to heal? Wu Yixian looked embarrassed. The most direct way for this medicine is of course for men and women¡­ Doesn¡¯t he know?


    ¡°Is there any other way? Also, will this medicine harm her body?¡± Shen Fengming asked.


    Wu Yixian was a little surprised, he knew what he thought about Jiang Yunzhu. At this time, he actually asked if there was any other way?


    Did he not want to take advantage of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s danger?


    Wu Yixian thought so, and glanced at Shen Fengming, and found that he really seemed to think so, he finally had a good impression of him in his heart, and hurriedly said, ¡°This medicine is called ¡®Chun Ri Tang¡¯, and its properties are fierce and strong. If a person is not with the opposite sex¡­ it will hurt the body and mind.


    But you should give her some antidote, that medicine is very good, you can give her another one.


    I¡¯ll go and make her an antidote. After drinking it, she should be much better.


    As long as you get through tonight, you¡¯ll be fine.


    There is no harm to the body. ¡°


    ¡°Trouble.¡± Shen Fengming said, trouble Wu Yixian to quickly dispense the medicine.


    He could even say these two words, Wu Yixian felt weird, and snorted, ¡°You don¡¯t need to tell me, I will also go to dispense the medicine. You take good care of her.¡± After speaking, he went to dispense the medicine immediately.


    Shen Fengming watched him go out, took out another Qingxin Pill from the medicine bottle and gave it to Jiang Yunzhu.


    After a while, the medicine was boiled, and it turned out to be a bowl of red medicine, exuding a strange smell.


    Shen Fengming looked at Wu Yixian, as if he was asking, is he sure, is this medicine okay?


    ¡°I don¡¯t want her to have an accident even more than you do.¡± Wu Yixian was suspicious and said angrily.


    Shen Fengming took the medicine bowl and fed Jiang Yunzhu to drink it.


    A quarter of an hour later, the bowl of medicine took effect, Jiang Yunzhu improved a lot, and his eyes became more focused.


    ¡°Mr. Wu.¡± She said.


    ¡°Who gave you the medicine?¡± Wu Yixian asked through gritted teeth, he dared to give her medicine, and he would fester and die to see if he was not poisoned.


    There is no separation between medicine and poison. Wu Yixian can cure diseases and save people, and he can also poison and kill people invisible. It¡¯s just that he doesn¡¯t want to do this usually, but now, he is very angry.


    Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s mind was in a mess, and he couldn¡¯t answer it.


    ¡°I want her to rest.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Wu Yixian could only nod his head.


    Shen Fengming hugged Jiang Yunzhu and went back to her room, trying to put her on the bed.


    Jiang Yunzhu did not let go of his neck, ¡°I¡¯m so hot.¡± She choked up.


    Shen Fengming picked her up again.


    But in midsummer, he was also hot, and the two of them hugging each other made him even hotter.


    ¡°Captain, the cold water is ready.¡± Sixteen said.


    Shen Fengming hugged Jiang Yunzhu and went to the next room, there was indeed a big bucket of cold water there.


    He wanted to put her in cold water.


    However, Jiang Yunzhu seemed to recognize him and held him tightly.


    In the end, Shen Fengming hugged her and immersed her in the cold water.


    The coolness hit, and both of them felt better.


    At this time, some people are not so happy.


    Lin Ting¡¯an sat in front of the desk, furious. His mind was full of the beautiful appearance of Jiang Yunzhu coming out of the water in the evening, and the appearance of Shen Fengming holding her away.


    He knew that Jiang Yunzhu had taken that kind of medicine.


    You can also guess what they are doing now.


    The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.


    At this time, Lin Qing came in and reported to him what he had found.


    Lin Ting¡¯an raised his sword eyebrows after listening, ¡°Call her over.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Qing replied, then went out and called Jiang Yunxiu over.


    Jiang Yunxiu was making pear soup for Lin Ting¡¯an. These days, she wondered if it was because she couldn¡¯t cook that she didn¡¯t get Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s favor. So she also started to learn cooking.


    However, cooking is not something that can be learned overnight.


    It was hot in summer, and she was sweating all over after standing by the stove for a while.


    At this time, when she heard that Lin Ting¡¯an was going to see her, she was overjoyed and felt that it was worth the hard work of cooking.


    With pear soup, she came to see Lin Ting¡¯an.


    ¡°My servant has met the eldest son.¡± She saluted Lin Ting¡¯an with a charming figure and a soft voice.


    Lin Ting¡¯an slapped him across the face.


    He never hit a woman, but today he was so angry that he made an exception.


    His slap was so powerful that Jiang Yunxiu was slapped and flew upside down, spilling a bowl of pear soup on the ground.


    Jiang Yunxiu covered her face and didn¡¯t realize what happened for a while.


    Until the pear soup flowed to her side.


    She looked at the broken porcelain bowl, and then looked up at Lin Ting¡¯an.


    ¡°You asked someone to write that note.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an stated the facts directly. He wondered why Xiao Liyu suddenly attacked Jiang Yunzhu, it turned out that she was the one who provoked him.


    Hearing his question, Jiang Yunxiu was a little flustered, she was indeed the one who did this.


    But soon, she was sullen, did she do something wrong? Jiang Yunzhu robbed Lin Tingan¡¯s fleet, obviously, she was going to fight against Lin Tingan, she borrowed Xiao Liyu¡¯s hand to deal with Jiang Yunzhu, not just right!


    Seeing her like this, Lin Ting¡¯an became even angrier. She didn¡¯t care about his affairs. What he wanted to deal with was Shen Fengming, not Jiang Yunzhu.


    Now¡­ Thinking of what Jiang Yunzhu is doing now, he is furious.


    ¡°Drag her down,¡± he said. He was afraid that he would not be able to bear it and killed her.


    Lin Qing immediately dragged Jiang Yunxiu down.


    On the side of the Compassion Ning Palace, Shen Fengming made a fuss, and the Empress Dowager soon found out about it.


    Jiang Yunzhu left with a bodyguard, and Shen Fengming told him to keep the eunuch¡­ When the Empress Dowager was young, she assisted Emperor Qinglong in ascending the throne. She had never seen or experienced anything. It¡¯s just that now that she is not in good health, the people in the palace have gradually forgotten how powerful she was before.


    After listening to it, she remembered a lot.


    ¡°Someone has reached out to the Compassion Ning Palace.¡± She said leisurely.


    Nanny Qi shivered, lowered her head and said, ¡°Indeed, someone¡¯s hands are too long.¡±

 Chapter 122

    Jiang Yunxiu was thrown into the firewood room. She sat there blankly, staring at the firewood on the ground in a daze. Just now, Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s slap wiped away all her hopes and fantasies. She felt that she might never be the young lady of Anping Houfu.


    His face hurts, but compared with the despair and pain in his heart, it seems nothing.


    She was leaning against the pillar, her eyes glazed over.


    ¡°Miss Yunxiu, Miss Yunxiu, are you there?¡± At this moment, a middle-aged female voice asked in a low voice outside.


    Jiang Yunxiu didn¡¯t respond at first, but suddenly, she raised her head and listened carefully.


    ¡°Miss Yunxiu, I¡¯m Nanny Xia, are you there?¡± The voice from outside said again.


    Grandma Xia, Jiang Yunxiu remembered something, her eyes became bright again, she came to the door, ¡°I¡¯m here.¡±


    Lin Ting¡¯an didn¡¯t say what to do with Jiang Yunxiu, so Lin Qing locked Jiang Yunxiu in the woodshed with only one lock.


    Grandma Xia pushed the door lightly, opened the door a little, looked inside, but saw that it was dark inside, and nothing could be seen.


    At this time, Jiang Yunxiu had already arrived at the door of the firewood room, and by the moonlight outside, she had a clear view of the situation outside.


    Nanny Xia bent over and carefully stuck it on the door, as if she was afraid of being discovered.


    ¡°Nurse Xia.¡± Jiang Yunxiu said eagerly as if grasping at a straw.


    Madam Xia took out something from her sleeve and handed it to Jiang Yunxiu, ¡°Miss Yunxiu, this white porcelain box contains anti-swelling medicine, and the oiled paper bag contains two cakes, you can make do with it first.¡±


    Afterwards, she took out a box and handed it to Jiang Yunxiu, and said solemnly, ¡°This is the moonlight pearl that the prince gave you. Miss Yunxiu, look, the prince is sincere to you and has never forgotten you.


    It¡¯s still the same sentence, if you figure it out, tell the prince at any time, and the prince will immediately carry you into the mansion. ¡°


    Maybe what you can¡¯t get is the best. After Huainan Wang was dismissed by Lin Ting¡¯an with two maids, he has been thinking about Jiang Yunxiu all the time. Later, when Jiang Yunxiu and Lin Ting¡¯an went to Beijing, the King of Huainan saw Jiang Yunxiu twice, and his heart became more and more unbearable.


    It¡¯s just that he and Lin Ting¡¯an are important people, and Lin Ting¡¯an has never let go.


    So he bribed Madam Xia and asked her to give Jiang Yunxiu a gold hairpin or a bracelet from time to time, hoping that Jiang Yunxiu could go to the palace. When he was in the palace, he would be in the palace and cook rice. Lin Tingan had to let him go if he didn¡¯t want to up.


    This greatly satisfied Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s vanity, but Huainan Wang was really too old, and she liked Lin Ting¡¯an, so she never agreed. However, she didn¡¯t completely break Huainan Wang¡¯s mind, she just dragged it.


    This happened tonight, King Huainan felt that the opportunity had come, so he took out a moonlight pearl from the warehouse and gave it to Jiang Yunxiu.


    Jiang Yunxiu opened the box, and saw a pearl inside that was the size of a plum, shining charmingly under the moonlight.


    ¡°Hey, Miss Yunxiu, quickly cover the box, it will be terrible if someone finds out.¡± Nurse Xia said anxiously outside.


    Jiang Yunxiu hurriedly closed the box, but the light of the pearl just now shone into her heart.


    ¡°Miss Yunxiu, what is this pearl? As long as you enter the Huainan palace, there will be nothing good. You also know that the prince has no heirs. If you get a man in one fell swoop after entering the palace, then you will have the final say in the palace?


    Even if you want to be a princess in the future¡­¡±


    Madam Xia snorted and continued, ¡°Your Highness is a bit older, but old age knows how to hurt people! Mr. Lin is handsome and suave, but what¡¯s the future with him.


    If he wants to marry his main wife in the future, he might marry the tenth princess. The tenth princess has an honorable status. If she can accommodate others, that¡¯s fine, but if she can¡¯t, Miss Yunxiu, you are so beautiful. Think about it yourself, can the tenth princess allow you to stay with the eldest son?


    It¡¯s different with the prince.


    This woman, marrying a man, marrying a man, dressing and eating, eating is the most important thing. For a man, it¡¯s the same when the lights are turned off.


    You have to plan for yourself. After entering the Huainan Palace, if you can really bear a son for the prince, then you will have a lifetime of glory and wealth.


    Maybe Mr. Lin will even salute you when he sees you in the future! ¡°Nurse Xia can really tell the truth with her mouth. According to her, it seems that Jiang Yunxiu can have a son and become a princess as long as she enters the Huainan Palace.


    Jiang Yunxiu doubted the latter very much. King Huainan is already so old, can he still have a son?


    But it was undeniable that she was tempted. A lifetime of glory and wealth, and Mother Xia¡¯s words, ¡°Maybe Mr. Lin will salute you when he sees you in the future!¡± really moved her.


    She clenched the box containing the pearl in her hand, making the last struggle.


    Mother Xia saw that there was a door, and continued, ¡°Miss Yunxiu, you have to make a decision early, how many people are waiting to enter the palace and can¡¯t get in. If someone snatches it first, give birth to the little prince¡­¡±


    ¡°Nurse Xia.¡± Jiang Yunxiu interrupted her.


    ¡°Ok?¡±


    Jiang Yunxiu paused, and gritted her teeth, ¡°If I agree to enter the palace, what is my identity?¡± She doesn¡¯t want to be a maid anymore.


    What she meant was that she agreed, and Mother Xia said happily, ¡°The prince said that when you enter the door, you will be a noble concubine. If you can give birth to the little prince, you will be promoted to side concubine immediately.


    Miss Yunxiu, this position is quite high, and you also know that in your capacity, it is impossible to directly become a side concubine. ¡°


    ¡°Noble concubine.¡± Jiang Yunxiu read, a little disappointed, in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s dream, she was the young wife of the Hou Fu, so why can she only be a concubine.


    But she also knew that Madam Xia was right. With her status, it was impossible for her to be a concubine or concubine.


    ¡°I see that you are blessed, girl. After you enter the mansion, you will definitely be able to continue the heirs for the prince. When the time comes¡­¡±


    ¡°Okay, I promise.¡±


    ¡°Sure¡­Miss Yunxiu, you agreed?¡± Nanny Xia said in surprise.


    ¡°En.¡± Jiang Yunxiu felt a little regretful, but quickly made up her mind.


    ¡°Okay, girl, hurry up and take medicine to heal your face. I¡¯ll report to the prince. I will definitely take you into the mansion in the next two days.¡± Madam Xia said.


    Hearing this, Jiang Yunxiu quickly took out the ointment and applied it on her face. Her only capital now is her young and beautiful body. Before she conceives the heir of King Huainan, she must not lose the prince¡¯s favor.


    The ointment was a royal secret medicine, after she applied it, the hot feeling on her face was immediately replaced by a cool feeling.


    Moon Rabbit Dongsheng, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s body finally eased a lot from the medicine, she was sleepy and tired, and fell asleep directly.


    After Shen Fengming found out, he carried her out of the bucket, called Shiliu, changed her into clean clothes, and put her on the bed.


    This night, Shen Fengming didn¡¯t leave, just guarded her by her bedside.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t sleep well this time, and she woke up just after dawn. The body is still a little dry and hot, but it is bearable.


    She saw Shen Fengming sitting beside the bed. He hung his head, as if he had fallen asleep, with a trace of exhaustion between his brows.


    And there was a wound on his left neck. The blood there has scabbed, but the surrounding skin is red and even slightly swollen, which shows how hard Jiang Yunzhu bit down yesterday.


    All the memories of yesterday came back, Jiang Yunzhu remembered how she pestered Shen Fengming yesterday, begging him to help her, also remembered how she bit his neck, and how he would rather soak in cold water with her than take the opportunity Belittled her.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked straight at Shen Fengming, and carefully described his appearance. His eyebrows are long and straight, his eyelashes are thick and curled together like a small fan, his nose bridge is high, his lips are beautifully shaped, and his face is well-defined and heroic.


    In the past, when she looked at him, she just thought he was good-looking, but now, she felt a sense of peace of mind.


    At this time, Shen Fengming¡¯s eyelashes trembled slightly, he slowly opened his eyes, and met Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s gaze.


    His eyes were full of worry.


    ¡°Shen Fengming.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said in a low voice.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯m here.¡±


    With just this sentence, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart was soft and warm, she stretched out her arms, hooked Shen Fengming¡¯s neck, and kissed his lips forcefully.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s eyes gradually widened, he stretched out his hand to embrace Jiang Yunzhu, but hesitated again.


    Jiang Yunzhu let go of his lips, blushing and said, ¡°The effect of the medicine is over, I know what I¡¯m doing.¡±


    This sentence exploded in Shen Fengming¡¯s mind like fireworks.


    He wrapped his arms around Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s waist and pressed her lips.


    After being obsessed for a while, Jiang Yunzhu was a little out of breath, and stretched out her hand to push Shen Fengming.


    Shen Fengming let go of her, looked at the beautiful person in front of him, his eyes were like water.


    Before it was bright outside, Jiang Yunzhu moved into the bed, signaling him to come up and sleep for a while. After guarding her all night, he was also tired.


    Shen Fengming was lying on the side of the bed. He was tall and had long legs, so the bed that was originally not too small suddenly seemed a little cramped.


    The two snuggled together, Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t resist the drowsiness, and slowly fell asleep again.


    Shen Fengming was not sleepy, he held her waist and just looked at her like that.


    After a long time, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead lightly before closing his eyes.


    When the sky was bright, Jiang Yunzhu opened her eyes and felt much better.


    As soon as she moved, Shen Fengming also opened his eyes.


    His hand was still on her waist, and the heat made Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s body hot.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to get up.¡± Jiang Yunzhu got up and moved back to avoid his hands.


    Shen Fengming sat up and looked at her, a little unsure of what she was thinking.


    Don¡¯t blame him, in fact, Jiang Yunzhu always ¡°lost memory¡± before.


    Jiang Yunzhu blushed slightly, leaned forward and kissed him on the forehead, showing her attitude.


    That light kiss, as soft as a feather, suddenly filled Shen Fengming¡¯s heart with infinite joy.


    This feeling has never happened before, but Shen Fengming knows that he likes this feeling.


    He didn¡¯t recover until Jiang Yunzhu got out of bed.


    Jiang Yunzhu was about to wash up.


    After a while, hot water came from Shiliu Duan, and she was helping Jiang Yunzhu comb her hair with Shen Fengming also in Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s room, without any abnormality.


    A head of black hair poured out, and was quickly combed into a beautiful slanted bun.


    Shiliu looked at Jiang Yunzhu, wanting to ask her what jewelry she was going to wear today.


    At this time, Shen Fengming came over, holding a box in his hand, opened it, and inside was the white jade hairpin he carved before, ¡°Let me put it on for you.¡± He said to Jiang Yunzhu.

 Chapter 123

    Jiang Yunzhu was taken aback when he saw the white jade hairpin. Has he always kept this hairpin with him?


    Indeed, Shen Fengming kept carrying it with him and wanted to give it to her, but he was afraid that she would not accept it.


    So now, does she want it?


    He was a little nervous. Yes, he is indeed tense, like a kid.


    Jiang Yunzhu hesitated, ¡°Yes.¡± She agreed.


    When the summer wind blew, Shen Fengming¡¯s face was full of smiles, and he inserted the white jade hairpin into her hair.


    The warm white jade hairpin complements the blue hair perfectly.


    It looks good, the hairpin is good-looking, and the person is also good-looking, Shiliu was thinking by the side, if Dudu Shen wasn¡¯t by the side, she would have cried out a long time ago.


    Shen Fengming also thought it looked good, and raised his eyebrows and eyes lightly.


    He had breakfast with Jiang Yunzhu before leaving.


    After leaving the restaurant, his expression immediately became cold and severe. He couldn¡¯t imagine what would have happened if Jiang Yunzhu hadn¡¯t escaped yesterday. How happy he was just now, how angry he is now.


    ¡°Captain!¡± A group of Qilin guards had been waiting for him.


    Shen Fengming immediately got on his horse and went to the palace. He would pry open the mouth of that **** yesterday.


    Soon, he arrived at the Compassion Palace.


    ¡°Master Shen, the Empress Dowager asked me to hand over these four people to you.¡± Nanny Qi had been waiting for Shen Fengming at the gate of the palace, and when she saw him coming, she pointed to the four people who were **** next to her.


    All four of them had their jaws removed and their hands and feet bound, making it impossible for them to commit suicide.


    One of the four was the **** from yesterday, and there was another court lady. If Jiang Yunzhu was there, she would be able to recognize immediately that she was the court lady who brought her food yesterday.


    The four of them were scared out of their wits. Some exchanged tears, regretting what they did yesterday, while others were full of despair, wishing for a quick death.


    It¡¯s a pity that when they entered the Zhen Fusi, they wanted to die, but they couldn¡¯t die.


    The empress dowager was indeed still an empress dowager, even though she had neglected the palace affairs for so many years, she took action and quickly caught all the spies in the palace of compassion.


    ¡°Mommy, thank the imperial grandmother for me.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    ¡°Yes. The empress dowager also said that if there is a result, tell her that the palace has been peaceful for too long.¡± Qi Nanny said.


    Shen Fengming immediately understood what she meant, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Afterwards, he referred the four to the Zhenfu Division.


    In just the time for a cup of tea, the four of them explained everything. They are the ones that Concubine Wu placed in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Xiao Liyu asked them to do what happened yesterday, and it doesn¡¯t seem to have anything to do with Lin Ting¡¯an.


    He was there by chance.


    Coincidence? Shen Fengming got up and went into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager.


    In Chonghua Palace, Xiao Liyu didn¡¯t sleep last night, and now she is depressed. She thought yesterday would develop as she expected, Shen Fengming saw Jiang Yunzhu having **** with another man, and then killed her in a fit of rage. Or, no matter how bad it is, it¡¯s okay to dislike her.


    But who would have thought that Jiang Yunzhu, a woman, could kill a strong guard and escape.


    The plan failed completely.


    It¡¯s fine if it¡¯s just like this, but after yesterday¡¯s incident, the Compassionate Ning Palace saw that everything was normal, but there was no news about it, so it¡¯s not worrying.


    What happened yesterday, Xiao Liyu did it without telling Concubine Wu Gui, what if¡­ Xiao Liyu became more and more uneasy the more she thought about it.


    At this time, the empress dowager had already understood the whole story, she still said peacefully, ¡°Please come here, Your Majesty.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Nanny Qi withdrew and invited Emperor Qinglong.


    After a while, Emperor Qinglong came to greet the Empress Dowager.


    The Empress Dowager ignored his greeting and said directly to Shen Fengming, ¡°Fengming, tell me.¡±


    Emperor Qinglong knew immediately that the Empress Dowager was angry. Who is it that made the empress dowager angry? He stood up straight and looked at Shen Fengming.


    Shen Fengming presented yesterday¡¯s incident together with the confessions of those four people to him.


    After Emperor Qinglong read it, it was actually Xiao Liyu¡¯s design to frame Jiang Yunzhu. He had a good impression of Jiang Yunzhu, but it was far from the level where he would be angry because of her. However, after reading the case file, he remembered an incident before.


    His favorite Su Jieyu a few days ago, he went to her palace that day with great interest, but saw her having **** with a guard, he was so angry that he immediately killed her with a stick.


    Now look at how similar that incident is to this one.


    Emperor Qinglong also came through the storm, and when he thought about it again, he immediately remembered a lot of suspicious things, and he didn¡¯t understand, he was being plotted against.


    Dare to plot against him! Emperor Qinglong immediately became angry and shouted loudly, ¡°Bring that **** and the ten princesses here.¡±


    Concubine Wu Gui felt her eyebrows twitching since yesterday, as if something bad was about to happen. She carefully recalled the events of these days, and she didn¡¯t think there was anything missing.


    Just then, the guards came to arrest him.


    ¡°Why did the emperor arrest me, what did I do wrong?¡± She said calmly, full of aura.


    Until she saw Xiao Liyu being brought out, her face was full of panic, her heart skipped a beat.


    The two were quickly taken to the Compassion Palace.


    ¡°My concubine pays respects to the emperor and the empress dowager.¡± Concubine Wu was worried, but she didn¡¯t show it at all.


    Compared with her, Xiao Liyu is far behind. She was also saluting, but trembling, with a guilty conscience.


    ¡°Bitch.¡± Emperor Qing Long slapped the table and scolded.


    With this sentence, as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling, Concubine Wu Gui¡¯s face instantly turned from red to white. For so many years, Emperor Qinglong had never said harsh words to her, but today, he called her a ¡°bitch¡±, which made her not startled.


    ¡°Your Majesty, I don¡¯t know how I have offended you, I am really terrified.¡± Concubine Wu quickly fell to her knees and said aggrievedly.


    ¡°You don¡¯t know, I think you understand it in your heart!¡± Emperor Qinglong said angrily.


    Concubine Wu still looked wronged.


    Of course, Emperor Qinglong would not say that he was being calculated, as it would damage his dignity, he threw the case file presented to him by Shen Fengming on Concubine Wu, and let her read it by herself.


    When Concubine Wu Guifei saw it, she was shocked. At this moment, she finally understood why Xiao Liyu had such an expression, and why Emperor Qinglong was so angry. She really regretted and hated, regretted that she loved Xiao Liyu too much, and hated how Xiao Liyu was so stupid.


    The same trick was used twice, for fear that others would not suspect you!


    But it was too late to say anything at this time. What Xiao Liyu did was irrefutable because of the witness and material evidence.


    She immediately admitted her mistake, saying that she had not taught Xiao Liyu well, and she was willing to accept any punishment. But never mention anything about Su Jieyu.


    Emperor Qinglong didn¡¯t want to mention it either, but those who should be punished must be punished.


    Concubine Wu, who has no way to teach her daughters, removed the position of concubine and was demoted to Concubine Wu.


    Xiao Liyu, as a princess, did such an absurd thing. She was demoted from Princess Yuyang to Princess Yuxin.


    Princesses also have ranks. According to the Xia Dynasty¡¯s practice, the princesses born by the queen are extremely noble, and there will be a ¡°Yang¡± in the title.


    Concubine Wu was favored. Although Xiao Liyu was not a direct descendant, Emperor Qinglong made an exception and granted her the title of Princess Yuyang, but now she has been demoted to Princess Yuxin. At the same time, she was fined to be grounded for half a year and to copy the ¡°Woman¡¯s Precepts¡± every day until she corrected herself.


    This punishment is not insignificant, especially for Concubine Wu, who was demoted from a noble concubine to a concubine, and her treatment was worlds apart. In particular, this seems to be a signal that Concubine Wu is about to fall out of favor, so the sixth prince?


    Concubine Wu Gui panicked now, how could the emperor be so heartless! She worked so hard for so many years to sit on the imperial concubine¡¯s position, but she disappeared overnight, how could she do it.


    She wanted to intercede with the emperor, but Emperor Qinglong didn¡¯t want to listen to her anymore and kicked her out directly.


    Concubine Wu Gui returned to Chonghua Palace and slapped Xiao Liyu on the face. She stared at her bitterly, if she wasn¡¯t her own daughter, she would definitely kill her.


    Xiao Liyu covered her face, also lost her mind, how could this happen.


    ¡°Starting tomorrow, you will stay in the palace and copy books for me,¡± said Wu Guifei. She no longer expects her to help, but just waits for an opportunity to marry her off and let her fulfill her obligations as a princess.


    Xiao Liyu feels wronged in her heart, but dare not speak.


    This matter quickly spread throughout the palace and the capital, and everyone wondered why the emperor suddenly disliked Concubine Wu.


    Some people said that it seemed to be related to Qilin Wei.


    Governor Shen, everyone thought to themselves, but no one dared to say it. If it is related to that person, it is really possible.


    Thinking of the **** storm in the capital city last year, everyone shuddered. Is the capital city going to have another turmoil?


    At this time, in the Palace of Compassion, Emperor Qinglong had already left, only the Empress Dowager and Shen Fengming were left.


    The empress dowager asked Shen Fengming to sit down, and said slowly, ¡°Yesterday, you and Yunrong County Lord¡­¡± She knew that Jiang Yunzhu took that kind of medicine yesterday, and it was Shen Fengming who took her away in the end, then he and Jiang Yunzhu¡­


    Shen Fengming knew what she wanted to ask, and said directly, ¡°Grandmother, I don¡¯t want to belittle her.¡± Then he solemnly knelt down, ¡°I beg Grandmother to be the master and give us a marriage.¡±


    He already knew Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s intentions, so he wanted to ask the empress dowager to marry him and be with her forever.


    When the empress dowager heard the first sentence, her face was still calm, but when she heard the latter sentence, she frowned. Jiang Yunzhu invited doctors to offer medicines for her, she liked her very much, if Shen Fengming wanted to marry her as his concubine, she would immediately agree.


    But the wife¡­selfishly speaking, she felt that Shen Fengming deserved better.


    ¡°Grandmother, you know, I don¡¯t care about status.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    ¡°I know.¡± The empress dowager stretched out her hand to support him. She knew that he didn¡¯t like those rights and interests, so she loved him very much and liked him. But it was also because of this that she felt¡­


    ¡°Imperial Grandmother, I only like her.¡± Shen Fengming said to the Empress Dowager word by word without getting up, letting her know his thoughts.


    There may be many good girls in this world, they may be beautiful, they may be beautiful, but what does it have to do with him, he just likes her and wants to be with her.


    When you see her, you will feel joy, and feel that life seems to have glory.


    Thinking of Jiang Yunzhu, Shen Fengming¡¯s expression changed unconsciously, it was no longer so cold, and there seemed to be stars shining in his eyes.


    The empress dowager had never seen him like this before, and was stunned for a moment.


    Shen Fengming never begged her, nor told her that what he wanted was like a cold knife.


    But now, he wanted that girl.

 Chapter 124

    ¡°Let me think about this matter for a few days.¡± The Empress Dowager finally said. When she said that, she actually meant to agree.


    ¡°Thank you, Grandmother.¡± Shen Fengming said happily.


    The empress dowager waved her hand, this matter is still a bit troublesome.


    After finishing his work in the afternoon, Shen Fengming went to Time Restaurant again. What happened yesterday made him worried about Jiang Yunzhu.


    In fact, Jiang Yunzhu was fine. When he arrived, she was eating ice cream.


    Make ice into a smoothie, put raisins, walnuts and other dried fruits on top, pour a spoonful of her homemade jam, and finally add a spoonful of freshly fermented yogurt, and a large bowl of ice cream is ready.


    In the height of summer, who can resist the charm of sorbet.


    Mr. Wu, Jin Jiaoyue, Zhan Changchuan and the others, including Shiliu, were each eating a bowl of ice cream.


    It was a scorching summer day outside, but everyone in the house felt refreshed and at ease.


    Shen Fengming came in and saw such a scene, he was silent for a while.


    It seems that his worries are a bit unnecessary.


    Seeing beads of sweat on his face, Jiang Yunzhu brought him a bowl of ice cream as well.


    The sweet and sour yogurt mixed with the smoothie was so refreshing that Shen Fengming couldn¡¯t stop eating it.


    Jiang Yunzhu had almost finished eating, so she sat by and watched him eat.


    Suddenly, she remembered something, got up and went to the back to get a box of ointment.


    ¡°To reduce stasis and swelling.¡± She said.


    Shen Fengming looked at the ointment and didn¡¯t understand what she meant for a moment.


    Jiang Yunzhu pointed to his neck, feeling embarrassed, she bit too hard yesterday.


    Shen Fengming took the ointment and put it aside. In fact, it was just a minor injury. If she didn¡¯t tell him, he would have forgotten about it.


    Seeing him like this, Jiang Yunzhu was afraid that he would not apply it, so she picked up the ointment again, opened it, dipped it in her hand, and got up to come to him.


    The wound is prone to inflammation in summer, so it is better to treat it well.


    Bai Run¡¯s fingers dipped in the ointment and dabbed on Shen Fengming¡¯s wound, Shen Fengming immediately concentrated all his energy there, even his body tensed up.


    The wound was not big, Jiang Yunzhu quickly applied the ointment.


    Shen Fengming suppressed the restlessness of his body, and told Jiang Yunzhu what happened today. It has been found out that what happened yesterday was done by Xiao Liyu. Today, the emperor punished the two of them.


    Jiang Yunzhu was very surprised after hearing this. Punishment Xiao Liyu, she understands, but the grade of Concubine Jiangwu?


    Shen Fengming told the story about Su Jieyu again.


    Needless to say, Jiang Yunzhu has already guessed something.


    This will offend Concubine Wu, no, Concubine Wu has been severely offended, Jiang Yunzhu thought.


    At this moment, Shen Fengming said again, ¡°I asked Grandmother to give us a marriage, she said to think about it for a few days.¡±


    It¡¯s strange, Jiang Yunzhu should have been shocked when she heard the news, but she looked at the person opposite, opened her mouth, and finally didn¡¯t say any words of rejection.


    Shen Fengming¡¯s heart was racing, and he pressed her lips.


    What happened yesterday was not glorious and there was no rumor about it, so many people only knew that Concubine Wu Gui was demoted and Xiao Liyu was punished, but they didn¡¯t know why.


    The six princes were panicked, those who knew were afraid that Shen Fengming would continue to retaliate, so they all became cautious, and some people ran around, trying to reverse the current situation.


    The next day, a small sedan chair was carried into Chonghua Hall.


    The sedan chair curtain was lifted, and inside was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, wearing a lotus-colored gauze skirt and a flower crown, her beauty was not enough to describe her beauty.


    This girl is the niece of Concubine Wu. The Wu family has beautiful women, and this girl seems to be better than Concubine Wu when she was young.


    Concubine Wu stood in front of the Chonghua Hall with a calm expression on her face. Fading and loving, she had expected such a day, but she didn¡¯t expect it to come so soon. Fortunately, she hasn¡¯t lost yet.


    With such a big event happening to the sixth prince, Lin Ting¡¯an also left early and returned late in the past few days.


    And this day, not long after he left, King Huainan suddenly brought a group of servants here.


    The servants, like wolves and tigers, entered the door and went straight to the backyard.


    There were guards in Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s other courtyard, trying to stop them, but Huainan King took out a Golden Dragon Token.


    Lin Ting¡¯an was not there, the guards saw the token and did not dare to stop it.


    Soon, Huainan Wang¡¯s people found Jiang Yunxiu in a woodshed in the backyard.


    Jiang Yunxiu knew early on that King Huainan would be here today, so she washed up and changed into a lavender tulle gauze dress. She looks charming, and wearing this color makes her fair-skinned, charming and attractive.


    When King Huainan saw it, he was overjoyed immediately, went straight to pick her up, and put her on the sedan chair.


    In the sedan chair, he couldn¡¯t wait to caress her body. That young body made him addicted.


    Jiang Yunxiu felt disgusted, that old face, that skin that had begun to sag¡­ However, she couldn¡¯t show it, and even tried to flatter her.


    From time to time, one or two panting sounds could be heard from the sedan chair. The person who carried the sedan chair knew what happened inside.


    Soon someone reported to Lin Ting¡¯an what had happened in the other courtyard. At this time, Lin Ting¡¯an was busy, and he still had to form a fleet to conduct maritime trade, otherwise those mulberry trees in Luzhou would not be white.


    He could not buy the workshops and fleets of Luo, Du and others, so he was going to settle for the next best thing.


    After hearing the guard¡¯s report, he frowned slightly, then put the matter aside and continued to work.


    Originally, he didn¡¯t intend to let Jiang Yunxiu stay by his side, but he hadn¡¯t figured out how to deal with her.


    The king of Huainan wants it, just take it.


    Of course, King Huainan took his things, so he will have to return some things in the future!


    This night, the Huainan Prince¡¯s Mansion was hit by red waves, because it was ¡°a pear blossom crushing a crabapple¡±.


    In fact, Jiang Yunxiu has been thinking about Lin Ting¡¯an, wondering if he will be distraught when he finds out that he has escaped with the Huainan king, and whether he will come to the Huainan palace to ask for someone, but no, nothing.


    The next day, the King of Huainan rewarded her with many things, such as a valuable ruby head face, a high-quality emerald jade bracelet that she had never imagined before, and many exquisite brocades.


    Jiang Yunxiu looked at this one, touched that one, wanted to laugh, but couldn¡¯t.


    She seemed to get what she wanted, but there seemed to be a fire in her heart.


    Especially thinking of serving Huainan King at night.


    After sitting for a while, she sat in front of the mirror and asked the maid to help her dress up.


    Wearing bright pearls on her head, emerald jade earrings, and the person in the mirror looking very luxurious, Jiang Yunxiu finally showed a smile on her face when she saw herself like this.


    ¡°Go to Time Private Restaurant.¡± She ordered. She is going to see Jiang Yunzhu and let her see how rich she is now. She has been waiting for this day for too long.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu was going to the vegetable market to see what fresh dishes were there today.


    A carriage blocked her way, and then two servants came over, one servant lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the other kneeled in front of the carriage.


    Jiang Yunxiu in full attire stepped on the servant¡¯s back, got out of the car slowly, and looked at Jiang Yunzhu carefully, hoping to see envy or surprise on her face.


    ¡°This is Huainan Wang Xinna¡¯s concubine.¡± Zhan Changchuan whispered to Jiang Yunzhu.


    After that incident, Zhan Changchuan and others became vigilant and took the initiative to protect Jiang Yunzhu. They have good ears and eyes, and they naturally know a lot of things.


    Jiang Yunzhu did not expect that Jiang Yunxiu would become the concubine of King Huainan.


    But there was nothing on her face, as if she didn¡¯t see Jiang Yunxiu, she wanted to go out to the vegetable market.


    Her ignorance annoyed Jiang Yunxiu.


    ¡°Sister.¡± Jiang Yunxiu called her to stop.


    Jiang Yunzhu ignored her, did she really think she was her sister? It didn¡¯t happen before, and probably won¡¯t happen in the future, they are worse than strangers, she doesn¡¯t need to waste her mind for her.


    ¡°Sister, as I said before, if you can¡¯t make it through any day, you can come and beg me.¡± Jiang Yunxiu stopped Jiang Yunzhu and said. This is what she said to Jiang Yunzhu the day they were sold.


    Jiang Yunzhu looked at her, so she felt that she couldn¡¯t make it through?


    Behind Jiang Yunzhu is her time private restaurant, the restaurant is making money every day, of course she is living well.


    Jiang Yunxiu was also aware of this problem, and put it another way, ¡°Sister, if you want anything, you can tell me. Gold, silver or silk is fine.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to laugh, would she just give it if she wanted it? She just wants her to beg her.


    Before she could speak, Shiliu was about to explode with rage. Where did this annoying woman come from?


    ¡°Then it¡¯s better to get 10,000 bolts of silk and satin and 100,000 taels of gold first.¡± Sixteen said.


    Ten thousand bolts of silk, one hundred thousand taels of gold, she dared to speak, Jiang Yunxiu glared at Sixteen.


    ¡°Not at all, you can say whatever you dare.¡± Sixteen said with disdain.


    ¡°You!¡± Jiang Yun¡¯s face flushed with beauty.


    Shiliu opened his round eyes, and didn¡¯t feel that his request was too much. As far as these things are concerned, not to mention Dudu Shen, his girl, when the fleet is built, they will soon be able to earn money.


    Jiang Yunxiu was ashamed, glared at Jiang Yunzhu, and left with a flick of her sleeves.


    Inexplicably, Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t take this matter to heart at all, and went out to buy vegetables.


    After Jiang Yunxiu got into the carriage, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Originally, she was supposed to go back to the palace, but when she reached the intersection, she told the driver to go east, and she wanted to meet Lin Ting¡¯an.


    She is now the concubine of King Huainan, has he ever regretted it?


    Lin Ting¡¯an was not there, Jiang Yunxiu waited for half an hour before Lin Ting¡¯an came back from riding the horse.


    Jiang Yunxiu lifted the curtain of the carriage and said softly, ¡°Young Master.¡± She still used the address she used to call him when she was beside Lin Ting¡¯an, just to provoke Lin Ting¡¯an on purpose.


    It¡¯s a pity that Lin Ting¡¯an didn¡¯t care at all, he just said, ¡°The Huainan Palace is not that easy to treat. If you have the ability, you can really give birth to a little prince for the Huainan King.¡±


    He is very sensible, Huainan King only accepts her as a concubine for a while. If she is smart enough, she should think about how to please King Huainan and gain a foothold in the palace.


    He hoped that she would win a man in one fell swoop, and then he would have a way to handle King Huainan.


    His words seemed to be for Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s benefit, but they fell on Jiang Yunxiu¡¯s ears like sharp knives. He didn¡¯t care at all that she followed Huainan Wang, and he wanted her to give birth to Huainan Wang?


    Furious, she wished she could kill Lin Ting¡¯an!


    No, she wanted to make him sad and make him regret it. Suddenly, she had an idea.


    At this moment, Lin Ting¡¯an didn¡¯t want to talk to her anymore, and got off his horse to go to the courtyard.


    Jiang Yunxiu suddenly said, ¡°Eldest son, do you know that Jiang Yunzhu was supposed to marry you as his wife?¡±


    This is her biggest secret, and she has always been afraid that others would know it. But now, she wants to tell Lin Ting¡¯an to make him feel uncomfortable.

 Chapter 125

    Sure enough, Lin Ting¡¯s expression changed immediately, ¡°What did you say?¡±


    ¡°Haha.¡± Excited, excited, and a little bit disappointed, Jiang Yunxiu suddenly laughed, laughing until tears flowed out.


    But soon she couldn¡¯t laugh anymore, Lin Ting¡¯an grabbed her neck and almost strangled her to death.


    ¡°What do you mean by what you just said?¡± Lin Ting¡¯an asked with a livid face.


    Jiang Yunxiu was out of breath, the fear of death made her calm down, and she began to regret what she said just now.


    But Lin Ting¡¯an would never give her a chance to regret it.


    A quarter of an hour later, Lin Ting¡¯an learned that Jiang Yunxiu had a dream when Jiang¡¯s family was selling people. In the dream, Jiang Yunzhu got the short branch, so she was sold to Anpinghou¡¯s mansion, and then married him. .


    But in reality, Jiang Yunxiu snatched the short branch, and it became what it is now.


    As for Shen Fengming, he might have met Jiang Yunzhu in his dream, but the two of them had no fate.


    Jiang Yunzhu was supposed to be his, and she was his¡­ This thought swirled in Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s mind, swallowing him like a giant python.


    He only felt that his chest was stuffy, his throat was sweet, and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.


    Jiang Yunxiu was terrified by his appearance. Taking advantage of his loss of consciousness, she broke free from his hand, climbed into the carriage, and left in a hurry.


    Lin Ting¡¯an didn¡¯t care about her, he had to think about what she said now.


    In the study, Lin Ting sat quietly for a long time. Dreaming is illusory, and he himself had many dreams, but he thought about it day and night. But what Jiang Yunxiu said was very realistic.


    Could that dream be true? Or is there really a past life in this world?


    What happened that day, Lin Ting¡¯an wanted to give up Jiang Yunzhu, but now, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Jiang Yunzhu should belong to him.


    She would make his favorite tea, and her presence by his side made him feel like she was supposed to be there.


    Maybe people really have reincarnation¡­ Lin Ting¡¯an looked at the portrait on the wall next to him, with a different look in his eyes.


    He wants her.


    Since she was his wife in the dream, he wants to marry her now!


    What to do¡­ He tapped the tabletop lightly with his hands.


    On the fourth day, a major case occurred in Changzhou, and Emperor Qinglong asked Shen Fengming to investigate it quickly.


    Shen Fengming took the order to go to other places to investigate the case, which was nothing to him at all. He used to just walk away. But this time, he was worried about Jiang Yunzhu.


    I can¡¯t wait to bring her with me all the time, but I know that it won¡¯t work.


    ¡°I asked the emperor¡¯s grandmother for Yizhi. If you enter the palace, no matter where you go, you can take Shiliu with you. If something happens, she knows what to do.¡± Shen Fengming told Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu agreed.


    ¡°This time Yang Sheng will stay in the capital. If you are outside the palace, you can find him if anything happens, and he will help you.¡± Shen Fengming said again.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    ¡°This bracelet, I¡¯ve already had someone fill it with a flying needle, remember to use it when it¡¯s dangerous.¡±


    ¡°it is good.¡±


    ¡°No matter what happens, you can wait until I get back.¡±


    Listening to his instructions, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s heart was touched. He was probably the person who cared about her most in the world.


    ¡°You also pay attention to safety, come back early.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said. In fact, she was also worried about him.


    ¡°I will.¡± Shen Fengming got closer to her while speaking.


    He wrapped his arms around her waist, unwilling to let go.


    She gently wrapped her arms around his waist, listening to his beating heartbeat, and didn¡¯t want him to leave for a while.


    In the end, Shen Fengming let go of Jiang Yunzhu, and when he came back, he would definitely ask the Empress Dowager to give them a marriage.


    He wants her!


    After Shen Fengming left, Jiang Yunzhu still opened restaurants, cooked dishes, teased Simba, joked with Mr. Wu and others, but she always thought of him unconsciously, and then wondered when he would come back.


    On this day, Emperor Qinglong saw an excerpt, which was submitted by Lin Ting¡¯an. He analyzed the current situation of Xia Dynasty, Xirong, and Beidi in detail. Difference.


    If the Xia Dynasty had another 50,000 cavalry, it would be no problem to wipe out Xirong and Beidi.


    His exposition was well-founded, and it went straight to Emperor Qinglong¡¯s heart. Xi Rong dared to send someone to assassinate him last year, if it wasn¡¯t for Shen Fengming, he would have died long ago, he wanted to kill Xi Rong long ago, but he had no chance.


    Of course he wanted 50,000 iron cavalry, but Xirong and Beidi always regarded their war horses as treasures and never sold them to Xia Chao. Xia Chao¡¯s own horses were indeed inferior to others. Where did the 50,000 iron cavalry come from?


    Lin Ting¡¯an really has a solution. He has already contacted several businessmen in Beidi. He can buy a batch of good horses from Beidi and hire someone to breed them. In a few years, the Xia Dynasty will have 50,000 cavalry.


    Emperor Qinglong was overjoyed after seeing it, and immediately recruited Lin Ting¡¯an. If he could accomplish this, he would definitely reward him heavily.


    However, Lin Ting¡¯an knelt down and said that he didn¡¯t want any big rewards. He only hoped that Emperor Qinglong would help him marry him and give him the county master Yunrong as his wife.


    ¡°County Master Yunrong.¡± Emperor Qinglong really remembered Jiang Yunzhu, and he was mainly involved in that incident. At that time, he lost his temper and demoted Concubine Wu.


    He still remembered that Jiang Yunzhu seemed to have taken that kind of medicine at that time, and seemed to be taken away by Shen Fengming.


    Shen Fengming and Jiang Yunzhu¡­ If Jiang Yunzhu had already become his, this marriage could not be granted.


    ¡°Your Majesty, I really fall in love with County Master Yunrong, and I beg His Majesty to help you.¡± Lin Tingan acted as if he wanted Jiang Yunzhu.


    Emperor Qinglong immediately understood why he had taken this book suddenly, and he wanted him to give him a marriage. If he didn¡¯t give it to him, would the horse buying business still be possible? It may or may not work.


    It means that if you give Jiang Yunzhu to him, you can exchange 50,000 cavalry?


    Emperor Qinglong wanted to agree immediately, not to mention Jiang Yunzhu, as long as he had 50,000 cavalry, even if Lin Tingan wanted a few princesses, he would give them to him.


    But Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s way of asking for repayment is too obvious. Emperor Qinglong wants to delay him, otherwise everyone will do this in the future, what majesty does he have as an emperor.


    ¡°Let me think about it.¡± Emperor Qinglong said.


    ¡°Thank you, Your Majesty.¡± Lin Ting¡¯an withdrew.


    In the main hall, Emperor Qinglong was sitting there, thinking of Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Fengming. Suddenly, he thought of Shen Fengming¡¯s departure from Beijing when a big case happened in Changzhou two days ago. As soon as he left Beijing, Lin Ting¡¯an came to propose marriage, everything seemed too coincidental.


    Also, Shen Fengming¡¯s character is also very stubborn and stubborn. If Jiang Yunzhu is really his, Lin Ting¡¯an wants to ask him for a marriage, but he can only do it when he is not around.


    But Shen Fengming will come back sooner or later.


    Emperor Qinglong became uncertain again, he wanted fifty thousand iron cavalry, but he also valued Shen Fengming very much, so what about this marriage?


    He got up and decided to discuss it with the empress dowager.


    In the Palace of Compassion, Emperor Qinglong had finished his meal with the Empress Dowager, so he found an excuse and chatted about Shen Fengming and Jiang Yunzhu.


    The empress dowager was also about to tell him about it.


    Emperor Qinglong wanted to ask if Jiang Yunzhu had become Shen Fengming¡¯s person.


    The empress dowager knew that the two of them were innocent.


    Emperor Qinglong was surprised and pleasantly surprised, Shen Fengming didn¡¯t even want Jiang Yunzhu like this? Maybe he really doesn¡¯t like women.


    The empress dowager¡¯s face sank, her grandson is a gentleman, how could he take advantage of others¡¯ danger.


    ¡°Fengming begged me to give them a marriage. I am going to discuss this matter with the emperor, what does the emperor think?¡± the empress dowager asked. These two days, the more the Empress Dowager thought about it, the more she felt that Shen Fengming should be fulfilled.


    It was the first time he begged her, no matter what, she should agree.


    Emperor Qinglong looked embarrassed, and told about Lin Ting¡¯an begging him to marry him. And emphatically, that is 50,000 cavalry. With these 50,000 cavalry, Xia Dynasty has nothing to fear.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t give him a marriage, won¡¯t he be able to do this?¡± The empress dowager asked angrily.


    It should be possible, but in case something goes wrong¡­ Emperor Qinglong doesn¡¯t want to have those accidents. Besides, if Lin Ting¡¯an really did it, he should have been rewarded heavily.


    The empress dowager also pondered.


    In the end, neither of them came to an agreement. Emperor Qinglong definitely wanted to give Jiang Yunzhu to Lin Ting¡¯an, especially after he knew that Jiang Yunzhu was not from Shen Fengming.


    The Empress Dowager was a little shaken, she was not reconciled to giving the person Shen Fengming liked to someone else. However, she also knew that the imperial court needed those horses.


    After Emperor Qinglong left, the Empress Dowager thought for a moment, and said to Nanny Qi, ¡°Let Danyang come to see me.¡±


    Half an hour later, Princess Danyang entered the palace to meet the Empress Dowager.


    ¡°Do you know that Fengming asked me to give him a marriage. He wants to marry Yunrong county master.¡± The empress dowager directly asked Princess Danyang.


    Princess Danyang was startled, but quickly calmed down again. She still understands her own son. He will do what he decides.


    ¡°Today, the eldest son of the Marquis of Anping, please ask the emperor to give him the wife of County Lord Yunrong.¡± The empress dowager said again.


    This sentence was far beyond Princess Danyang¡¯s expectation.


    The Empress Dowager talked about Lin Tingan¡¯s purchase and breeding of war horses, and finally said to Princess Danyang, ¡°I called you here to ask what you mean.


    It was the first time Fengming liked a girl, and it was also the first time he begged me, he is not in Beijing now, if he comes back, he finds that the person he likes is given to someone else as his wife¡­¡± The Empress Dowager was silent, she didn¡¯t know, when Shen Fengming How would you react.


    Sad, or¡­ His personality is cold, and he can do anything.


    She didn¡¯t want to make trouble like that.


    Princess Danyang also felt nervous. If that was the case, she was afraid that she would really lose her son. Especially, if he knew, she knew about it, but she didn¡¯t stop it.


    As for Lin Ting¡¯an and those 50,000 cavalry, to her, her son is not as important.


    Fifty thousand cavalry is just a plan, who knows what will happen in the future.


    Besides, I heard that Lin Ting¡¯an is very close to the sixth prince. Even if there are 50,000 cavalry, it is not certain whether the cavalry will charge in or out!


    Of course, Princess Danyang didn¡¯t say this, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn¡¯t give Jiang Yunzhu to Lin Ting¡¯an.


    What her son likes, it¡¯s no one else¡¯s turn.


    ¡°So, what do you mean, give Fengming a marriage, and ask Yunrong County Lord to give him a wife?¡± The Empress Dowager laughed.


    Princess Danyang suddenly felt that she had been fooled. As soon as she agreed, Jiang Yunzhu would become Shen Fengming¡¯s official wife.


    However, she seemed unable to refuse.

 Chapter 126

    ¡°Actually, I think this is pretty good. The Shen family is already high enough. Would you like to marry the tenth princess to him?


    The county master Yunrong is actually very good.


    It¡¯s rare, Fengming likes it. ¡°The last sentence, the empress dowager sighed leisurely. People of the royal family, whether she or Princess Danyang, have no freedom in this life. They had no choice but now, they have stood at the pinnacle of power, and they still want to let their children Repeat your own mistakes?


    Princess Danyang was speechless. In fact, she doesn¡¯t hate Jiang Yunzhu either. Well, guest off, she thinks she¡¯s not bad.


    ¡°Besides, you didn¡¯t always want Feng Ming to get close to the girl. Now he has finally found someone he likes. If you miss this time, when will you be able to hug your grandson.¡± The Empress Dowager said again.


    The grandson awakened the dreamer with a single word, and Princess Danyang immediately became anxious, no, Jiang Yunzhu cannot be allowed to marry someone else.


    She immediately begged the empress dowager.


    The mother and daughter found Emperor Qinglong.


    They hoped that Emperor Qinglong would give Shen Fengming a marriage and marry Jiang Yunzhu to him as his wife.


    The reason is that Yu Gong and Shen Fengming have served the court for so many years, how many times they have escaped from death, and even saved Emperor Qinglong¡¯s life. Could it be that his contribution is not as good as that of Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s 50,000 iron cavalry who has not seen the shadow yet?


    Even his infamy, how much of it was carried on behalf of Emperor Qinglong.


    Yu private, he is Emperor Qinglong¡¯s nephew, don¡¯t relatives help relatives?


    The mother and daughter were hard and soft, and Emperor Qinglong couldn¡¯t even refute.


    After the mother and daughter left, Emperor Qinglong only felt a headache.


    On the sixth day, Shen Fengming came back and went to the palace to report the case to Emperor Qinglong immediately.


    Emperor Qinglong read the case files, and then looked at Shen Fengming, who was obviously thinner in the dusty world, and he already had a decision in his heart.


    On this day, Emperor Qinglong issued two imperial edicts.


    The first way is to point the Lord Yunrong to Shen Fengming as his wife, and the second way is to promote Lin Ting¡¯an as the servant of the household department and point out Princess Yurou to be his wife.


    When the decree came out, everyone was amazed.


    Lord Yunrong, who is it? Does Shen Fengming like girls?


    Those who gritted their teeth in the past and hoped that he would die alone and have no children and grandchildren may not be able to sleep today, such as Huainan Wang and his ilk.


    It¡¯s just that this time the marriage was bestowed by the Holy Majesty, and no one can stop it.


    As for the second imperial decree, Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s official promotion is nothing. He has been very active in the capital recently. Shouldn¡¯t the tenth princess be given to him as his wife? Why did he become the eleventh princess?


    Boss Luo and the others had already prepared the first batch of goods. Jiang Yunzhu went to check the goods, and just as soon as he returned to the restaurant, he was hugged by a man in his arms.


    She almost exclaimed.


    ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Shen Fengming whispered in her ear.


    The tips of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s ears turned red instantly, and her pink ears were already very beautiful, but now they are even more attractive like jade.


    She was a little ashamed, and wanted to push him away, but when she looked up, she saw his exhausted appearance, and her heart softened again.


    ¡°Let me hold you for a while.¡± The voice was deep and low, without any sensuality.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t move, and let him hold her.


    At this time, a **** came to deliver the imperial decree, Jiang Yunzhu got up quickly, and received the decree with Shen Fengming.


    It was the imperial decree of bestowing marriage, and Jiang Yunzhu accepted the imperial decree in a daze.


    At this time, the **** who delivered the decree also arrived at Lin Ting¡¯an¡¯s mansion.


    Lin Ting¡¯an knelt down respectfully and accepted the order.


    It¡¯s no surprise that he was promoted to be the servant of the household department, he just waited to listen to the latter and give him a marriage.


    Indeed, Emperor Qinglong granted him a marriage, but it was not County Lord Yunrong, but Princess Yurou.


    Lin Ting¡¯an suspected that he had heard wrong, so he didn¡¯t get up for a long time.


    ¡°Lord Lin, accept the order.¡± The **** who delivered the order reminded.


    Lin Tingan regained his senses, snatched the imperial decree, and read it carefully. It was indeed Princess Yurou, not County Lord Yunrong.


    How could this be, he stood there blankly.


    At this time, Concubine Wu and the sixth prince also knew about the emperor¡¯s gift of marriage to Lin Ting¡¯an.


    ¡°Mother and concubine, didn¡¯t you tell father and emperor about promising the imperial sister to Lin Ting¡¯an?¡± the sixth prince asked Concubine Wu.


    This time, Lin Ting¡¯an suddenly made such an offer, and the sixth prince found it very strange, and what was even more strange was that Emperor Qinglong knew that they wanted to marry Xiao Liyu to Lin Ting¡¯an, so why did he point the Eleventh Princess to Lin Ting¡¯an.


    The mother and concubine of the Eleventh Princess is Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu¡¯s father, Lu Yushi, is upright and rigid, and he is one of the few people in the court who has not participated in party struggles.


    ¡°Your father is guarding against us.¡± Concubine Wu said with a serious face. Only now did she understand how ridiculous her idea of marrying Xiao Liyu to Shen Fengming was, not to mention that Shen Fengming would not marry, even Emperor Qinglong would not agree to their marriage.


    Just look at this time, when Lin Ting¡¯an didn¡¯t mention the 50,000 cavalry before, she mentioned to Emperor Qinglong that she wanted to marry Xiao Liyu to Lin Ting¡¯an, but Emperor Qinglong didn¡¯t say anything.


    But now, he regretted it, obviously because he was afraid that Lin Ting¡¯an would be on their side.


    ¡°Lin Ting¡¯an!¡± Concubine Wu hated Emperor Qinglong, but hated him even more. He has such a method, why didn¡¯t he say it earlier.


    ¡°I have long felt that he is not of one mind with us.¡± The sixth prince said.


    The two were silent for a while, both felt that something had to be done to reverse the current situation.


    ¡°Let Liyu marry Xiao Xun.¡± Concubine Wu suddenly closed her eyes and said. With King Qinghe as an in-law, they also had an extra help.


    Xiao Xun¡­ the sixth prince wanted to say something, but in the end he didn¡¯t say anything. Xiao Xun is indeed not a good man, but if they lose, no matter who Xiao Liyu marries, the result will be the same, so it is better to seek some benefits first.


    Recently, there are three marriages in the capital, one is Shen Fengming¡¯s marriage, everyone is most interested in this marriage, and they are all curious about what kind of person this Governor Shen is going to marry.


    Princess Danyang was eager to embrace her grandson, and set the wedding date very close, just one month later.


    The second marriage is Lin Ting¡¯an marrying Princess Yurou as his wife. The date of the marriage has not yet been determined.


    The third marriage is that Xiao Xun, the son of Prince Qinghe, is going to marry Xiao Liyu as his wife. This marriage seems to be very urgent, and the wedding date is set in two months.


    Jiang Yunzhu soon heard about the marriage of the latter two. In her dream, Xiao Liyu married the son of Prince Qinghe, but it is the same now. Lin Ting¡¯an is going to marry Princess Yurou. She has never met Princess Yurou before, but since she is a princess, her status is naturally noble.


    Of course, she didn¡¯t care about these things at all. Yesterday Yang Sheng told her that the crew of the fleet had already arrived, and he just went to see her today.


    Shen Fengming, Yang Sheng, Jiang Yunzhu, and Wu Yixian left the city and went to another hospital in the suburbs of Beijing.


    After they saw these people today, these people would **** the first batch of goods to the pier, wait for Shen Fengming¡¯s big ship to arrive, and get acquainted with the weather at sea before setting sail and embarking on a journey.


    ¡°Old man, do you really decide to go to sea with them?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked Wu Yixian again, she was worried about him.


    Mr. Wu didn¡¯t want to stay in the capital for a long time, and every day when various people came to him, he would be annoyed to death.


    The only thing he was worried about was Jiang Yunzhu.


    ¡°You really want to marry that kid?¡± He asked Jiang Yunzhu in turn.


    Jiang Yunzhu finally nodded, she could feel Shen Fengming¡¯s affection for her, she wanted to try. If it doesn¡¯t work, he promised to let her go.


    Mr. Wu snorted, ¡°I¡¯ll leave after attending your wedding banquet.¡±


    Calculate the time, just about the same.


    In the other courtyard, a group of retired Qilin Guards and those who retired from the Yang Family Army were already waiting there.


    The two groups of people are distinct, and standing there are also two kinds of aura.


    Qilin Guard¡¯s people are all carefully selected and cultivated after rigorous training. Everyone has extraordinary skills. They stand there like a group of tigers.


    The people in the Yang family army are like a pack of wolves. They were just ordinary people. After entering the Yang family army, they experienced repeated fights and became what they are now. They are different from the Qilin Guards. Thousands of people fight together on the battlefield. They pay more attention to teamwork.


    They may not be able to defeat the Qilin Guards alone, but what about ten, hundreds, or thousand?


    Qilinwei¡¯s leader is a young man named Chi Zheng. He looks handsome and has a faint smile on his face.


    Yang Jiajun¡¯s leader is a middle-aged man with rough skin and a resolute appearance. Most conspicuously, he was missing a right arm. The man¡¯s name is Han Kuo.


    These people have already met Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng. Today, I will mainly introduce Jiang Yunzhu to them. Yunming Trading Company, Jiang Yunzhu is in the front row. In the future, the trading company must listen to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Yang Sheng introduced the two parties.


    Chi Zheng and the others had heard of Jiang Yunzhu a long time ago. Zhan Changchuan and Jin Jiaoyue showed off to them their happy life in the Time Restaurant when they had nothing to do. In addition, Jiang Yunzhu was the wife of Governor Shen who had never been married, so they respected Jiang Yunzhu.


    Han Kuo and the others were a little hesitant, Jiang Yunzhu is a girl¡­


    ¡°What kind of eyes do you have? Be careful if you get sick in the future, I won¡¯t treat you.¡± Mr. Wu couldn¡¯t see it, and said angrily.


    Everyone looked at him again, who is this old man?


    ¡°This is Wu Yixian, and he will go to sea with you this time.¡± Jiang Yunzhu calmly introduced as if he didn¡¯t see their suspicious eyes.


    Wu Yixian, this is Wu Yixian, everyone was surprised at first, and then they all became happy. The ship is far away from the land, there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine, and many people will die because of it. If Wu Yixian goes to sea with them, wouldn¡¯t they be guaranteed.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu began to talk about her plan for going to sea this time.


    First of all, safety is the first priority when going to sea this time. They must ensure their own safety first, and then consider trade matters. If something happens, you can lose the cargo or wait for rescue.


    As soon as this article came out, everyone¡¯s hearts were churning. They used to be Qilin Guards and soldiers, and they were used to the mission first, but now Jiang Yunzhu told them that their safety is the most important thing.


    Second, Jiang Yunzhu talked about how to distribute the profits if the fleet is profitable.


    Chi Zheng and Han Kuo have already heard about this, otherwise they would not actively come here. Especially Han Kuo, the brothers in the army are all from poor people. Many of them died, and their families couldn¡¯t even afford a coffin. They came here because they wanted to make a living for themselves, and secondly, for those who couldn¡¯t come. Get some money and live.


    As Jiang Yunzhu spoke eloquently, the more they listened, the more excited they became, and without realizing it, they also put away their contempt for her.


    Third, fourth¡­Jiang Yunzhu continued to speak one by one, and the eyes of Chi Zheng, Han Kuo and others became brighter and brighter.

 Chapter 127

    After Jiang Yunzhu finished speaking, she looked at everyone, ¡°Do you have anything to say?¡±


    What else did everyone have to say, Jiang Yunzhu had already considered it for them, and they had to swear to die.


    Everyone knelt down together, ¡°I will live up to my trust.¡± The voice moved the sky.


    The summer is scorching hot, and Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s white dress in yellow colors seems to be more dazzling than the scorching sun.


    Yang Cheng and Shen Fengming stood behind, the two looked at the scene in front of them, Yang Sheng suddenly smacked his lips, a little envious of Shen Fengming.


    Why is it always him who is unlucky, Shen Fengming doesn¡¯t marry a wife, his mother wants to miss him, and suspects that he has something to do with him. Now that Shen Fengming was going to marry a wife, his mother pushed him even harder.


    When will this day be the end, no, he is really going to sea.


    Yang Sheng was complaining about himself here, while under a long corridor over there, a man was twirling his beard with his hands, smiling all over his face.


    ¡°My lord, this is the son¡¯s other courtyard.¡± Shen Fu reminded Shen Dashi in a low voice.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with his other courtyard, can¡¯t I come to his other courtyard?¡± Shen Dashi said with a serious face.


    Shen Dashi didn¡¯t know that Shen Fengming was going to get married until the imperial edict of marriage arrived at Shen¡¯s residence.


    No one told him about such a big matter, no matter how good-tempered he is, he would be annoyed.


    Immediately, he quarreled with Princess Danyang again. Of course, he didn¡¯t win either.


    He was sullen for a long time, but he didn¡¯t see Shen Fengming coming back, so he came to look for him, just in time to see this scene.


    ¡°Of course the master can come.¡± Shen Fu hurriedly said, and then he asked, ¡°Do you want to call the young master?¡± He was a little worried, but the master came over angrily, so don¡¯t make a fuss.


    Master Shen thought for a while, ¡°No need, the child is grown.¡± He turned and left.


    Shen Fu was stunned, the master left just like that?


    This was just a small episode, even Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t notice that there were two people here.


    At this time, Chi Zheng, Han Kuo and others began to pack up the goods and rushed to the dock.


    Jiang Yunzhu and others also returned to Beijing.


    Back at the Time Restaurant, there were already eunuchs waiting there, and the empress dowager rewarded him.


    ¡°A pair of jasper-chan phoenix hairpins, a pair of emerald jade bracelets, a pair of red emerald and golden step rockers¡­¡±


    ¡°One hundred bounty gold silk brocades, one hundred silver silk brocades, fifty cloud gauze¡­¡±


    ¡°Admiration of white jade with eight handles, two pairs of green jade mandarin duck round boxes, and a pair of agate three-goat pots¡­¡±


    The voice of the **** passing the decree was high-pitched, and it took a full cup of tea to finish reading the reward from the empress dowager.


    Those things almost filled the entire restaurant. There is red silk on everything, and it looks like it is specially prepared for the big wedding in a month.


    Looking at the red in the courtyard, Jiang Yunzhu realized that she was going to get married in less than a month. To marry¡­ She looked at the person next to her.


    Shen Fengming held Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s hand tightly, ¡°I will take you into the palace to thank the emperor¡¯s grandmother.¡±


    The empress dowager rewarded him, and he must go to thank you, Jiang Yunzhu nodded.


    The two entered the palace together, this time the empress dowager¡¯s attitude towards Jiang Yunzhu was obviously different, she looked at the eyes of the younger generation, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became.


    Coming out of the palace, the divorce period is less than a month away, so everything has to be prepared quickly.


    The empress dowager knew that none of Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s family was in the capital, so she sent Nanny Qi to help her sort out these matters.


    ¡°It¡¯s time for Nanny Qi.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said to Nanny Qi.


    Nanny Qi is all smiles, this is a happy event, she loves to do it. Besides, Jiang Yunzhu saved the Empress Dowager¡¯s life, she saved her life, and she wanted to repay her a long time ago.


    ¡°I have already sent someone to pick up your parents, and they will arrive in half a month.¡± Shen Fengming said at this time.


    Jiang Yunzhu was thinking about this just now, but unexpectedly, he had already done it for her.


    In fact, it¡¯s not just this matter, Shen Fengming has thought about everything, but there are some things that need Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s opinion.


    Nanny Qi acted vigorously and took care of everything.


    The empress dowager rewarded Jiang Yunzhu with a house, which is located on Changsheng Street, Wujin¡¯s mansion, which is now newly decorated, and Jiang Yunzhu is waiting to be married here.


    The next day, the Shen family sent someone to accept the lottery, that is, to propose marriage.


    Her son is finally getting married. Princess Danyang is happy and decides to make the marriage a splendid one, so that everyone will know that her son has a girl he likes.


    As for Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s low background, she also figured it out, she has nothing to fear from a low background, as long as the Shen family is high, she will be a member of the Shen family after she gets married, who would dare to underestimate her.


    There were thirty boxes of Nacai gifts alone, all tied with red silk, and sent to Jiang¡¯s house.


    Followed by Wenming, Najib, and Nazheng.


    Nazheng is giving a betrothal gift. On this day, the whole capital was a sensation, and the long gift-giving team couldn¡¯t see the end at a glance.


    Everyone is envious, whoever said that it is good to have a boy and a good daughter will still enjoy the blessings.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t expect the Shen family to take this matter so seriously. In the dream, she married Lin Ting¡¯an, and Lin Ting¡¯an finally persuaded An Pinghou to do the marriage. But maybe because of her background, the marriage was done hastily.


    Now¡­she felt the sincerity of the Shen family.


    Among the dowry gifts, there was a box that Shen Fengming specially asked someone to give to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu opened the box, and inside was a piece of paper. It was written by Shen Fengming himself, and he had already stamped his fingerprints on a piece of peace and separation letter. As long as Jiang Yunzhu signed his name and put his fingerprint on it, this peace and separation letter would take effect. From then on, she would have nothing to do with him.


    He remembered that he had promised her that if she was unhappy, he would let her go.


    Jiang Yunzhu held that and Li Shu, feeling overwhelmed.


    In this and Lishu, his handwriting is still neat and orderly, but there is a pause at every writing and finishing point, so that there is more ink. It can be seen that he was in the mood when he wrote this and left the book.


    Jiang Yunzhu stuck the letter of Heli on his chest, and it took a long while before he calmed down.


    She suddenly had some expectations for her future married life.


    Two days later, Mr. Chen and others arrived in the capital.


    When Shen Fengming sent someone to pick them up, he had already explained everything.


    Mr. Chen and others were in a daze on the way to Beijing. That businessman from the capital who stayed at their house turned out to be Commander Shen Dudu of the Qilin Guard? Isn¡¯t it rumored that he is very violent, and You Xi kills people? Why don¡¯t they think so.


    Also, is Jiang Yunzhu going to marry him? They are so different from each other, how can they marry!


    They couldn¡¯t believe it was real.


    It was only when they arrived in the capital, saw the five-entry mansion, and saw the dowry piled up like a hill, that they finally believed that Jiang Yunzhu was indeed going to marry Shen Fengming.


    ¡°Grandfather, father, mother¡­¡± Jiang Yunzhu was very happy to see them.


    ¡°Yunzhu.¡± ¡°Sister.¡± Chen and the others were also very happy.


    ¡°Come in and sit down.¡± Jiang Yunzhu took their hands and entered the room.


    The family reunited after a long absence, and Jiang Yunzhu was about to get married again. As Chen talked, tears fell.


    ¡°What are you crying about on the day of great joy?¡± Jiang Cheng said to Chen Shi with gestures. In turn, his eyes turned red, and he asked Jiang Yunzhu how he was doing after entering Beijing, and whether she would like to marry Shen Fengming.


    He was afraid that she was forced, after all, she was just a civilian girl, Shen Fengming had a high position and authority, if he forced her to marry, she would have nothing to do.


    But then again, even if she was forced to marry, he couldn¡¯t help her.


    Thinking of this, of course he felt sad.


    Jiang Yunzhu smiled, she married voluntarily. Also, she is no longer a civilian girl, she is now the head of Yunrong County. It hadn¡¯t been long before she had written to tell them.


    ¡°Master Yunrong? What is that?¡± Chen asked. County owner, is it the same as the county magistrate?


    Jiang Lin quickly explained to her what the county lord meant.


    After listening, Chen became happy, and she suddenly felt that she might not have to worry about Jiang Yunzhu, as her daughter had a good idea.


    Although Mrs. Chen and the others have come, they are blind to the affairs of the capital, so Nanny Qi is still in charge of the marriage.


    For this, Chen and the others were very grateful and felt that they had met a noble person.


    Nanny Qi didn¡¯t dare to be a noble person, but their attitude made her nod secretly. She has seen many people who are arrogant and rude when they gain power, but the Chen family and others have no such intentions at all, and they are even more cautious, which shows the character of this family.


    In the evening, she told the empress dowager about these things, and the empress dowager also smiled.


    Three days before the big wedding, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s auspicious clothes were finally ready. This auspicious costume is as bright as fire, which makes Jiang Yunzhu bright and not like ordinary people.


    ¡°It¡¯s beautiful, it¡¯s beautiful.¡± Chen said two things in succession, but couldn¡¯t help but get red eyes.


    On this day, Qin Yao and Lin Yubai came to the capital to attend Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s wedding banquet. At the same time, they also brought Gu Qifeng who had just come out of prison.


    Now that the matter of the victims in Luzhou has finally been dealt with, Qin Yao plans to stay in the capital for a long time when he comes to the capital this time.


    ¡°Boss.¡± Gu Qifeng bowed to Jiang Yunzhu, walked around the prison, he is much calmer now.


    Seeing them, Jiang Yunzhu thought of Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen. Ever since they became officials, they have been walking less and less with her. This time the Holy Majesty bestowed a marriage, they only sent someone to send a gift in private, and they didn¡¯t seem to want to attend her wedding banquet.


    Are they trying to break up with her? Is it because she and Shen Fengming are getting closer?


    Jiang Yunzhu guessed so.


    She has always been unwilling to force others, if Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen really think so, they can only do so.


    Qin Yao, Lin Yubai and Gu Qifeng didn¡¯t know this yet, they talked and laughed with Jiang Yunzhu.


    Especially Qin Yao, since Jiang Yunzhu left, she almost misses her.


    Well now, they can be together again.


    However, she actually married before her!


    The two girls had a lot of whispers to say, and the day went by very quickly.


    After another two days of busy work, this day is Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s wedding day.


    It was only the fourth watch, and Jiang Yunzhu had already gotten up to take a bath, and there was even more chatter outside.


    Sister Qi was on the sidelines, and everything was going on in an orderly manner. There is a makeup girl who puts on Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s makeup.


    Just after taking a bath, Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s skin was as fine as white porcelain, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and the makeup lady was tsk tsk in her heart, she was indeed the person that even Dudu Shen could fall in love with, such a beautiful person, even a man would want to touch her.


    In particular, Jiang Yunzhu now only wears underwear, so she can see her tall peaks and her waist like a spring willow at a glance.

 Chapter 128

    Just at a good age, you don¡¯t need too much powder at all, just a little smudge, the bride is already amazingly beautiful.


    The makeup girl skillfully painted a half-open peony on Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s forehead, adding to its beauty.


    The bright red wedding dress was unfolded, and the phoenix wearing peonies on it was shining brightly. Putting it on the bride, everyone held their breath.


    At this time, the sound of gongs and drums outside, the groom came to welcome people.


    According to the customs of the Xia Dynasty, Jiang Yunzhu did not cover her head, but covered her face with red coral tassels, revealing a graceful chin and a fair neck.


    Sitting on the red silk bed, through the coral bead curtain, Jiang Yunzhu could faintly see the situation outside.


    A tall man in a red dress walked in surrounded by the crowd.


    It was Shen Fengming, and Jiang Yunzhu had always been curious about what he looked like in red.


    It¡¯s just that I can¡¯t see clearly through the bead curtain.


    Chen and the others saw it clearly. Today¡¯s Shen Fengming wears a jade crown and has black hair like satin. He was dressed in a red auspicious suit, which made him look a lot less cold. His phoenix eyes and red lips were like jade mountains, like clear snow, and like cold plums on snow, giving him a burning feeling.


    The groom is so handsome, and thinking about the beauty of the bride just now, everyone feels that this is a match made in heaven.


    At this time, Shen Fengming had come to the bedside, bent down to pick up Jiang Yunzhu, and walked out.


    He walked steadily, and with Jiang Yunzhu in his arms, it seemed that he didn¡¯t have to worry at all.


    Walking through the long corridor, stepping over thresholds, passing through layers of roof ridges, just when Jiang Yunzhu thought she would go on like this, he put her on the sedan chair.


    Shen Dudu got married, and the capital became lively very early that day. Everyone stood by the roadside, watching eagerly, wanting to see what kind of person he married.


    The long welcoming line seemed to be endless, and suddenly someone said in surprise, ¡°Here we come.¡±


    Looking towards the end of the street, a bright red wedding sedan chair seems to be in the clouds.


    The wedding sedan chair has a red roof, with red gauze hanging around it, and outside the red gauze, there are layers of bead curtains. People on the street can¡¯t see the people inside clearly, they can only vaguely see a person in a red dress sitting in it.


    But looking at her graceful figure, everyone can imagine how stunning she must be.


    Everyone was chatting and laughing, and one person stood among them, looking at the people in the sedan chair, but his heart felt like a knife was twisted.


    It was Lin Ting¡¯an, he was not reconciled, the person in the sedan chair was supposed to be his bride, but now she wanted to marry someone else.


    It¡¯s just that he is unwilling and has nothing to do, there is no room for maneuver in the matter.


    Turning around, he disappeared into the crowd.


    Along the street, there are still people looking at this wedding sedan chair.


    Gu Yanzhou let out a sigh of relief.


    Across the street, Xie Chen and Qin Yao stood there.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you go to Yunzhu¡¯s wedding banquet?¡± Qin Yao asked angrily. Also, he was very indifferent to her when she came this time. Has he changed his mind? I also forgot the friendship with Jiang Yunzhu.


    Xie Chen really wanted to walk away with a cold face, but he finally said, ¡°I have an extremely dangerous thing to do.¡±


    Qin Yao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly hugged his waist, no matter where he went, he would take her with him. Even if it is death!


    The welcoming team came to the west city.


    In the northeast of Xicheng, there is a magnificent mansion, which is the mansion of King Huainan.


    The people serving in front today are all cautious, the prince is not in a good mood recently, they are afraid of accidentally offending him.


    But the ones in the back are much more relaxed, especially those in the remote yard, the prince will not come here anyway, they should talk.


    At this moment, they were discussing the big wedding that caused a sensation in the entire capital outside.


    ¡°Before the sixth prince¡¯s marriage was not so big.¡± A round-faced maid said, her face was full of envy.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­ Dudu Shen, who will kill people at every turn. If I ask you to marry, do you dare to marry?¡± Another maid said.


    ¡°Marry, why don¡¯t you marry. I met him once on the street¡­¡± Speaking of that time, the round-faced girl looked at her, and her heart burst into spring. For such a man, it is worthwhile to marry today and die tomorrow.


    What¡¯s more, there is such a grand wedding, which is enviable.


    ¡°You want to marry, but others don¡¯t. Don¡¯t be like the one in the room, thinking of good things.¡± Another maid said.


    Speaking of the people in the room, the round-faced servant girl snorted, ¡°That¡¯s right, it made us suffer together.¡±


    In the house, Jiang Yunxiu also heard the sound of gongs, drums, and noise outside, which seemed to be the sound of welcoming a relative, but she didn¡¯t know who was getting married.


    Hearing the two maids say ¡°Dudu Shen¡±, she suddenly raised her blank face and opened the door.


    ¡°Who is married?¡± She asked the two maids.


    The two servant girls gave her a blank look and didn¡¯t bother to talk to her at all.


    As Lin Ting¡¯an said before, King Huainan was new to Jiang Yunxiu for a while. After getting her, he only pampered her for more than half a month before getting tired of her and leaving her aside.


    In the Huainan Palace, there are many younger, more beautiful, and more lovely girls waiting for his favor.


    Of course, there are many people like Jiang Yunxiu who have fallen out of favor. If they have status, it¡¯s better, if they don¡¯t, they will be thrown in a corner of the palace like garbage, and let them fend for themselves.


    Jiang Yunxiu is one of them. She has been living in the other courtyard of this side courtyard for almost half a month.


    At the beginning, she couldn¡¯t believe it, and thought about seeing King Huainan again and regaining his favor. But Huainan Wang didn¡¯t want to see her at all, if he was bored, he would be bored.


    Later, she wondered if she was pregnant with the heir of King Huainan, and as long as she was pregnant, she could be a side concubine.


    But a few days ago, she had her period.


    Helpless, she gave the round-faced servant girl her valuables and asked her to send a letter to Lin Ting¡¯an, begging him to help her.


    Lin Ting¡¯an failed in his marriage proposal and was trying to settle the score with her. If it was true as she said, it was because she changed Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s branch, which caused her not to enter the Marquis of Anping¡¯s mansion and married Shen Fengming, how could he let her go.


    Originally, he had already thought about how to deal with her, but after knowing her situation, he gave up his previous plan.


    Let her fend for herself in the side courtyard. She should bear the consequences of her own choices.


    Jiang Yunxiu was completely hopeless, staying in this courtyard was worse than going to jail.


    ¡°Is Governor Shen married? Who is he marrying!¡± Jiang Yunxiu asked the round-faced maid as if she was going crazy.


    The round-faced servant girl was frightened, ¡°It¡¯s Governor Shen who got married, and I heard that the one she married is County Master Yunrong.¡±


    The county lord of Yunrong is Jiang Yunzhu!


    It was Jiang Yunzhu who got married in a beautiful way outside, and she was going to be the young wife of the Shen family.


    The Shen family is even more powerful than the Anping Houfu.


    Jiang Yunxiu wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, so she changed her life, what did she get in return?


    Taking advantage of her loss of consciousness, the maid next to her pushed her to the ground and pulled the round-faced maid over.


    The round-faced maid came back to her senses, turned into anger from embarrassment, and raised her leg to kick Jiang Yunxiu, but in the end she didn¡¯t dare, and spit on her.


    But Jiang Yunxiu grabbed her leg, ¡°Help me send a letter to Yunrong county master. I am her sister, her own sister. She will come to save me if she knows.¡± She seemed to be grabbing at straws General said eagerly.


    ¡°Crazy!¡± The round-faced maid didn¡¯t believe it at all. Last time she helped her deliver a letter to Lin Shilang, but he ignored her.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you money.¡± Jiang Yunxiu said, groping around, but after staying in this remote courtyard for so many days, it costs money to manage food, and it costs money to send letters to her. How can she still have money now.


    Suddenly, she touched a round object. I took it out and saw that it was a moonlight pearl. It was because of this pearl that she agreed to be a concubine to King Huainan. Seeing this pearl again now, she regretted it endlessly.


    But the round-faced servant girl¡¯s eyes lit up, and she reached out and snatched the pearl.


    At this time, the welcoming team had already returned to Shen¡¯s house, Shen Fengming hugged Jiang Yunzhu, and carried her to the bed in the wedding room.


    Someone handed him a jade ruyi, and he used the ruyi to lift the coral tassels on Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s phoenix crown, revealing her face.


    At this moment, all the female guests of the Shen family were in the new house. They had been wondering what the bride looked like for a long time, and they were all taken aback by seeing it.


    The bride¡¯s skin is as crisp as snow, her eyebrows are full, her bright red mouth is beautifully shaped, and her whole body is as delicate and charming as the peony between her eyebrows. Coupled with the brocade tents and costumes, the phoenix crown and the xiapei, it seems to be shrouded in a halo.


    At this time, Jiang Yunzhu also saw everything around him, as well as Shen Fengming.


    He looks good in red.


    With her light glance, Shen Fengming felt his heart was hit by something, and his mood was agitated.


    At this time, someone brought a cup of wine, Shen Fengming took a glass and handed it to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunzhu took it.


    The two crossed their wrists and drank the wine in their hands.


    Congratulations from everyone around.


    Both of them had some blush on their faces.


    There was another round of etiquette, after all was done, Shen Fengming would go out to toast and entertain the guests, while Jiang Yunzhu sat on the wedding bed, waiting for him to come back.


    ¡°Girl, no, Young Madam, let¡¯s have something to eat.¡± Only Jiang Yunzhu was left in the wedding room, and Shiliu hurriedly took out a pastry for her to eat.


    In fact, there are various pastries and dried fruits on the table in the house, but they all have meanings, such as those dates and lotus seeds, because Jiang Yunzhu doesn¡¯t like them.


    Jiang Yunzhu was indeed a little hungry, so he ate some and drank some tea.


    Afterwards, there was a long wait, I don¡¯t know how long I had waited, and Nanny Chang came in, ¡°Young Madam, the young master is going back to his room soon, do you want to take a shower and change?¡±


    Although Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s body looks good, it is very heavy and not suitable for sleeping.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yunzhu agreed.


    Immediately someone came in, untied her hair, took off her phoenix crown, and took off her auspicious clothes.


    A head of black hair flowed down like a waterfall, wrapping around the slim body.


    In the next room, hot water has been prepared.


    Jiang Yunzhu submerged her body in the water to wash away the fatigue of the day.


    Two quarters of an hour later, she came out of the water, dried herself, and changed into pajamas.


    The pajamas are also red, but they are very soft and outline a seductive curve.


    Jiang Yunzhu felt much more relaxed, sat on the bed and continued to wait for Shen Fengming.


    At this time, it was already night outside.


    A bright moon slowly rose, and suddenly, there were footsteps outside.


    ¡°My lord has returned to his room.¡± Nanny Chang said happily. Then he winked at everyone, and everyone left the room, so as not to disturb the wedding night of the newlyweds.

 Chapter 129

    At the beginning of September, the night in the capital is already a bit chilly. The stars are dotted, and the clear brilliance of the cold moon sprinkles the earth.


    The door opened with a ¡°squeak¡±, and Shen Fengming walked in.


    He was dressed in red, as if he had just bathed, his hair was like ink, and his eyes were bright.


    There was hangover soup already prepared on the table, Jiang Yunzhu stood up, wanting to pour him a bowl.


    At this time, Shen Fengming had already closed the door and came to her side.


    Jiang Yunzhu handed him the hangover soup, ¡°Would you like some drink?¡±


    Shen Fengming drank a lot of wine, but he was not drunk. He didn¡¯t look at the hangover soup, but stared at Jiang Yunzhu with burning eyes.


    Jiang Yunzhu blushed, of course she knew what would happen next, they were already husband and wife.


    ¡°Yunzhu, can I¡­¡± Shen Fengming grabbed her hand and asked.


    At this time, his hands seemed to be hot, and Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s whole body became limp from the heat, and his snowy skin was stained with a blush, as attractive as spring cherry blossoms.


    Shen Fengming couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, threw the hangover soup on the table, bent down and picked her up directly, and pressed her on the bed.


    Shen Fengming didn¡¯t dare to kiss passionately and intensively like this before, he was afraid that he would lose control and treat her lightly. But now, she was his, his wife in name, and he could kiss her wantonly.


    Jiang Yunzhu only felt hot, why was it so hot tonight, it was so hot that she couldn¡¯t breathe.


    At this time, she heard the rustling sound of undressing, and opened her eyes slightly, like a blooming flower, waiting to be picked.


    There are many scars on Shen Fengming¡¯s body, those scars are big and small, new and old.


    Jiang Yunzhu caressed his scar unconsciously.


    Her behavior unintentionally provoked Shen Fengming, he hugged her tightly and sank down.


    Then Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t feel sorry for his scars anymore, and even wanted to grab him twice. It¡¯s just a pity that she didn¡¯t even have that strength, so she could only let him get whatever he wanted.


    In the corridor outside the door, Nanny Chang only heard a coquettish cry, followed by intermittent low moans as if she had been bullied hard. The voice is mellow and beautiful, and it touches people¡¯s hearts, and people can¡¯t help but want to hear more.


    The bride is like this, I¡¯m afraid she will suffer a lot tonight¡­ Nanny Chang walked back with a smile while feeling emotional.


    Princess Danyang was drinking tea at the back, of course, her attention was not on the tea at all, and her eyes flicked out from time to time.


    At this moment Mammy Chang came.


    ¡°How?¡± she asked. To be honest, she was really worried. She is very sure that her son is very talented and can do it. but¡­


    ¡°Mrs. will have to take pity on the young ladies tomorrow morning.¡± Nanny Chang said so.


    What she means is that it has been done, and, moreover, it is very¡­


    Princess Danyang smiled, ¡°Let them not have to get up so early tomorrow morning.¡± Of course she has to take pity on the bride, who is as delicate as a flower, the more she looks at it, the more she likes it now.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Nanny Chang smiled.


    Princess Danyang stopped drinking tea, put down the tea bowl, and went back to the bedroom.


    Master Shen has already gone to bed, holding a book in his hand and seems to be reading.


    Princess Danyang snorted coldly, with a dignified face, did he really read the book?


    ¡°It¡¯s done,¡± she said.


    Master Shen coughed lightly, and he knew that his son was fine.


    sleep.


    The next day, when the sun was bright, Jiang Yunzhu suddenly opened his eyes and wanted to get up. As a bride, she was going to offer tea to her in-laws the next morning. She was still thinking about it yesterday, so why did she sleep until this hour.


    Just when she moved, she felt sore all over. YouQi¡¯s waist was still being hugged, and he couldn¡¯t get up even if he wanted to get up.


    Shen Fengming opened his eyes, ¡°Let¡¯s sleep for a while.¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu gave him an angry look and blamed him. Also, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you wake me up?¡±


    Shen Fengming knew what she was worried about, ¡°Mother told you to rest well, don¡¯t be in a hurry to serve tea.¡± He said, he clasped Jiang Yunzhu¡¯s waist, and pulled the belt into his arms.


    The two were skin to skin.


    Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t feel anything at first, but later, she noticed the changes in his body, and hurriedly wanted to break free.


    ¡°I won¡¯t do anything.¡± Shen Fengming held her down and said. Last night, he experienced the ultimate bliss in the world, and his body tasted and tasted, so of course he would respond. But he knew that her body was not used to it yet, and she would have to take care of her for a few days.


    He always kept his word, so Jiang Yunzhu relaxed his body and lay down.


    But she couldn¡¯t sleep either. Especially, his body was hot.


    ¡°Otherwise, let¡¯s get up and serve tea to father and mother.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said slowly.


    ¡°Your body¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Jiang Yunzhu got up as soon as she said that, she felt that if she lay on the bed again, something would happen sooner or later.


    Shen Fengming had no choice but to let her go.


    The two got up and dressed, then opened the door to let the waiters in.


    Jiang Yunzhu brought He Ying and Shiliu here, and she was still used to them being around.


    Shen Fengming agreed to whatever she liked.


    After a while, the two dressed and went out.


    Outside the pavilions, Jiang Yunzhu didn¡¯t know how to get there, Shen Fengming held her hand, interlocked her fingers, and led her to the main hall.


    There are many servants in the Shen residence, they were surprised at first when they saw the young master and the young madam walking hand in hand from a distance, and then they were filled with envy.


    Nanny Chang saw Shen Fengming and Jiang Yunzhu from a long distance away, and said to Master Shen and Princess Danyang, ¡°Master, madam, the young master and the young lady are here to serve you tea.¡±


    As soon as Master Shen and Princess Danyang looked up, they happened to see their fingers intertwined.


    The always cold-faced son seemed to have a smile in his eyes, and he looked more handsome and handsome than before. And the people around him are as delicate and beautiful as apricot blossoms after rain. The two came hand in hand, and everything was as beautiful as a painting.


    The smile on Princess Danyang¡¯s face could not be stopped no matter what.


    ¡°Nurse Chang, tell me, is it better for the husband¡¯s grandson or the husband¡¯s granddaughter.¡± She had already thought of this point.


    Nanny Chang knew that she was happy, and she seemed to have smeared honey on her mouth, ¡°Young master is handsome, and young lady is beautiful. The boy born must be handsome, and the girl born must be beautiful. She will bloom first and then bear fruit. Sister, everything is fine.¡±


    ¡°You can say it.¡± These words made Princess Danyang even more happy.


    She has only given birth to a son herself, but she actually likes her little granddaughter. However, she also likes her grandson.


    Master Shen was listening beside him, with a smile on his upright face. Today, it was rare for him and Princess Danyang not to quarrel.


    At this time, Shen Fengming and Jiang Yunzhu came in and saluted the two of them together.


    ¡°Get up, why don¡¯t you take a good rest.¡± Princess Danyang said.


    ¡°Family, you don¡¯t have to be so polite,¡± said Grand Master Shen.


    Before coming, Jiang Yunzhu was a little worried, afraid that Princess Danyang would not be easy to get along with, and that Master Shen would not like her. Unexpectedly, the two of them were so kind to her.


    Throwing them with papaya and repaying them with Qiong Yao, Jiang Yunzhu also treated them as his own parents.


    While talking, when it came to the issue of offspring, Princess Danyang asked Jiang Yunzhu to go back to rest quickly, and ordered Nanny Chang to cook some good soup for nourishing yin and beauty for her at noon.


    The idea of Princess Danyang and the University of Shenyang wanting to have a grandson is almost written on their faces.


    Coming out of the main hall and returning to the room, Jiang Yunzhu was sitting in front of the dressing table in a daze.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Shen Fengming hugged her from behind, he sensed that she had something on her mind.


    Jiang Yunzhu really had something on her mind. Last night, she actually took medicine, the kind of contraceptive medicine. She doesn¡¯t want to have a baby so soon. And she has always believed that being a parent means being responsible to your children. If you can¡¯t guarantee that your child can grow up safely and happily, don¡¯t give birth.


    But just now Princess Danyang and Master Shen had such a strong desire for a grandson, and they treated her so well¡­


    ¡°Tell me.¡± Shen Fengming kissed her forehead.


    He raised his head and met Shen Fengming¡¯s gaze.


    She can trust him, can¡¯t she?


    Jiang Yunzhu took a jewelry box and opened it. There was a hidden compartment underneath. From the hidden compartment, she took out a small medicine bottle.


    ¡°I asked Wu Yixian to prepare this for me.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said.


    Shen Fengming looked at her, then what?


    ¡°Yes, to avoid pregnancy.¡± Jiang Yunzhu kept looking at Shen Fengming, trying to see his reaction clearly.


    She doesn¡¯t want a child of her own! This thought suddenly appeared in Shen Fengming¡¯s mind, his mood changed from overjoyed to lonely, such a gap made him unconsciously change his face.


    But he quickly controlled himself, ¡°Did you take this medicine last night?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu suddenly didn¡¯t dare to look him in the eyes, she looked away and nodded.


    ¡°why?¡±


    Jiang Yunzhu expressed his thoughts.


    Shen Fengming let out a sigh of relief, so it turned out that it was actually his problem, he didn¡¯t let her feel at ease.


    He considered his sentence, and said slowly, ¡°Actually, I used to doubt why my parents and mother gave birth to me, so I understand your worries.


    I also once thought that I would never marry a wife or have children.


    But¡­¡± Shen Fengming looked at Jiang Yunzhu, but he met her, he wanted to be with her, and thought that if they had children, he would make him grow up happily.


    Shen Fengming paused, then suddenly said, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to have a baby, then don¡¯t.¡± He really wanted a child belonging to the two of them, but he knew how difficult it is for a woman to have a baby, and he didn¡¯t want her to suffer that kind of pain. Kind of bitter.


    Just the two of them, together forever.


    Jiang Yunzhu raised her head, ¡°Where are the father and mother?¡± They would not agree.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry, I¡¯ll go and tell them. If it doesn¡¯t work, just say it¡¯s because of my health, and they won¡¯t make things difficult for you.¡± Shen Fengming said. Anyway, he was often talked about before, and he didn¡¯t care at all.


    Jiang Yunzhu glared at him, wanted to laugh, but didn¡¯t.


    He really doesn¡¯t care about his reputation at all.


    ¡°Don¡¯t take this medicine in the future.¡± Shen Fengming took the medicine bottle. It is three-point poison, she is weak, he should eat it, or use some methods.


    Jiang Yunzhu knew what he meant, and suddenly hugged his waist.


    ¡°I won¡¯t eat.¡± After a pause, ¡°You don¡¯t need to eat either.¡±


    ¡°Ok?¡±


    ¡°Actually, even if we want it, we may not be able to have it right away.¡± Jiang Yunzhu said, she decided to let it happen.


    Shen Fengming pecked lightly on her forehead, in fact he could have worked harder.


    On this day, the two rested at home, like glue.


    The next day, Jiang Yunzhu wanted to visit his restaurant. After preparing for the wedding for so many days, she hasn¡¯t been to restaurants very often, and now that she is free, she is a little worried.


    Shen Fengming immediately went to talk to Princess Danyang and Bachelor Shen.


    I don¡¯t know what he said, anyway, in the future, Jiang Yunzhu can run restaurants, fleets, and do what he likes.


    Jiang Yunzhu kissed him happily, he was really kind to her.


    Then she was hugged on the desk.


    Her body was still not recovering, Shen Fengming just kissed her and let her go.


    Jiang Yunzhu went to the restaurant, and the restaurant was very lively. It was only a few days ago that Xue Jing knew Shen Fengming¡¯s identity, and he was both surprised and worried.


    ¡°Boss, I thought you would never come again!¡± He looked at Jiang Yunzhu, almost crying with joy. Jiang Yunzhu married the Shen family, a wealthy family, and he was really afraid that he would never see her again.


    Jin Jiaoyue and others also surrounded Jiang Yunzhu. The restaurant was still comfortable without her, but it always felt like something was missing. Now that she is back, it¡¯s great.


    Back at the familiar place, Jiang Yunzhu was also in a good mood and chatted with everyone.


    It was almost noon, and she was so grateful for the generosity of Princess Danyang and Master Shen, she personally cooked for them and asked Shiliu to send them back home.


    At this time, in Shen¡¯s residence, after Jiang Yunzhu left, Shen Fengming also went to work, only Princess Danyang and Shen Dashi were left in the residence, and the two sat at the same table to eat, lonely and deserted.


    At this time, Shiliu brought the food. All made by Jiang Yunzhu himself, steaming hot.


    ¡°Master, Madam, Young Madam is thinking of you.¡± Nanny Chang said to Princess Danyang and Master Shen while putting the food on the table.


    Taibai duck, Mrs. Song¡¯s fish soup, dragon and phoenix balls¡­ every dish is full of color, fragrance and taste. Nanny Chang looked at it, almost drooling.


    Princess Danyang¡¯s complexion improved obviously, and after she ate a piece of Taibai duck with chopsticks, a smile appeared on her face.


    It was the first time for Master Shen to eat the food made by Jiang Yunzhu. The sausages that Shen Fengming brought back that time and the snacks he sent back later were nothing compared to serious meals.


    As soon as he ate it like this, he was immediately conquered.


    Why is this duck so delicious, and this fish soup, which almost loses its tongue, and this dragon and phoenix ball¡­


    The more he ate, the happier he was, and the atmosphere in the room immediately changed.


    Nanny Chang watched from the side, and let out a sigh of relief, the young lady¡¯s craftsmanship is really good. How nice it is to have such a friendly family!


    When the masters were happy, she was also happy.


    In the afternoon, Jiang Yunzhu was going back home.


    Just after leaving the restaurant, a person who looked like a maid came over.


    ¡°But County Lord Yunrong?¡± The round-faced servant girl glanced at Jiang Yunzhu nervously, and quickly lowered her head. As expected of the person Dudu Shen likes, she is so attractive that people dare not look directly at her.


    The round-faced maid came from the Huainan Prince¡¯s Mansion. Today, she has been guarding outside the Shen Mansion, thinking about how to deliver a letter to Jiang Yunzhu inside.


    Who would have thought that Jiang Yunzhu, the young lady of the Shen family, would leave the house.


    So she decided to tell her those words herself.


    ¡°You are?¡± Jiang Yunzhu asked.


    Sixteen looked at the maid vigilantly.


    The round-faced maid briefly explained her identity, then talked about Jiang Yunxiu and what she asked her to bring to Jiang Yunzhu.


    Jiang Yunxiu fell out of favor and was abandoned in a side courtyard. Do you want her to help her?


    Jiang Yunzhu thought for a while, ¡°Ask for me, ¡®If it were you, would you help?''¡± After speaking, she ignored the round-faced maid and left.


    The round-faced maid looked confused, what did Jiang Yunzhu mean by that sentence? I wanted to ask again, but there was no trace of Jiang Yunzhu.


    Forget it, anyway, what she promised has been done.


    The round-faced servant girl returned to Huainan Palace.


    Jiang Yunxiu had been waiting for her, and when she saw her come back, she immediately stepped forward, ¡°How is it? What did she say.¡±


    The round-faced servant girl said with a cold face, ¡°I was asked to bring you a sentence, ¡®If you were you, would you help?''¡±


    She didn¡¯t understand the meaning of these words, but Jiang Yunxiu immediately understood what Jiang Yunzhu meant. She asked, if she was the one who fell out of favor and abandoned, would she help her?


    Jiang Yunxiu stayed there, asking herself, if Jiang Yunzhu was abandoned, would she help her?


    No, definitely not, she will only be happy, watching her jokes.


    If I don¡¯t know how to help her, how can I ask her to help her? This is what Jiang Yunzhu meant.


    It was so true that she couldn¡¯t refute it.


    Jiang Yunxiu suddenly laughed, laughing desperately. She regretted it, maybe she shouldn¡¯t have snatched that short branch, maybe she shouldn¡¯t have thought about being the young lady of the Houfu, and even more regretted that she shouldn¡¯t have been the concubine of King Huainan¡­


    The round-faced maid was frightened by her appearance, she must have mental problems!


    When Jiang Yunzhu returned to the Shen Mansion, Princess Danyang and the Grand Master Shen saw her, and there was no change in their faces.


    The four of us had dinner together in the evening, and it was indeed much more lively than at noon.


    On the third day of their marriage, Jiang Yunzhu was going back home, and Shen Fengming accompanied her.


    Chen Shi and the others have been very worried about her for the past few days, now seeing her and Shen Fengming coming back together arm in arm, a happy young couple, everyone is relieved.


    After chatting and laughing, Jiang Cheng suggested that they would return to Wuling County tomorrow.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it good to just live here?¡± Jiang Yunzhu couldn¡¯t bear them.


    ¡°It¡¯s very good here, but I want to go back.¡± Jiang Cheng said.


    ¡°He is reluctant to part with his business.¡± Chen said with a smile.


    Jiang Cheng¡¯s face turned red, he was indeed reluctant to part with his business, but there were other reasons as well. Although the capital is good, it is not a place for them to stay. Here, they are like duckweed floating in the water.


    It¡¯s better to go back to Wuling County, down-to-earth and down-to-earth.


    Jiang Yunzhu wanted to keep her, but Jiang Cheng and the others had already made up their minds. They preferred life in Wuling County.


    In the end, Jiang Yunzhu stopped persuading them. Everyone has his own ambitions, and no one can force others.


    Early the next morning, Jiang Yunzhu sent Jiang Cheng and the others away.


    ¡°I¡¯m leaving tomorrow too,¡± said Wu Yixian. The fleet to go to sea was actually ready a few days ago, but everyone wanted to attend the wedding banquet of Shen Fengming and Jiang Yunzhu, so it was delayed until now.


    It¡¯s time to set sail!


    Jiang Yunzhu had just sent Jiang Cheng and the others away, but he was actually reluctant to leave Doctor Wu.


    But there is no way.


    The next day, she and Shen Fengming sent Wu Yixian to the pier.


    Twenty large ships have already docked here, and they are fully equipped. Chi Zheng, Han Kuo and others are standing at the bow of the ship, ready to go, majestic.


    Wu Yixian stepped onto the front ship.


    ¡°Grandpa, take care.¡± Jiang Yunzhu urged.


    ¡°You have to be well, wait for me to come back.¡± Wu Yixian said, then he looked at Shen Fengming and snorted, ¡°If she suffers a little bit of wronged¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Shen Fengming said.


    Seeing them standing side by side, Wu Yixian finally chose to trust Shen Fengming and boarded the big boat.


    The big ship raised its sails and broke through the waves.


    Jiang Yunzhu stood there, unable to calm down for a long time.


    At this time, Shen Fengming hugged her, she and him.


    Jiang Yunzhu hugged his waist back, the sunlight shone on the water, and reflected on the two of them, warm and beautiful.


    The author has something to say:


    It¡¯s over, and I will write a postscript later, that is, life after marriage, having a baby and raising a baby, as well as the current situation between the DPRK and China and the situation of the fleet


    Because these time spans will be relatively large, so count them in the postscript
