"My second miss, you are really bold, you are really here, if you are recognized by the people of the county government or Wu Fuzi, your Ma family may be turned upside down."

"Don't worry, I've met Wu Fuzi in the mansion, he definitely won't recognize it, as for the county government, he didn't come at all when he was dressed as a woman, how could he be recognized, but that Zhou Xiancheng saw me twice, but since he didn't speak, he probably didn't recognize me. Today is a thrilling coming. Ma Ruoyan said with a smile.

"And what's next for you?" Lin Mo asked.

"Reading books at home and studying to prepare for the county exam. What about you? ”

"Me? Like you, read books and study, cramming temporarily, hoping to get in. Lin Mo smiled bitterly.

"I didn't expect Master Wu to take such a fancy to you, and he was willing to come out to help you study, he is always very serious in Mafu, even if my father talks to him, he has to be respectful, why is it different for you." Ma Ruoyan said enviously.

"Maybe I think I'm in love, if I don't pass the exam this time, I'm really sorry for his kindness." Lin Mo smiled bitterly.

"By the way, this is for you." As he spoke, he took out a book from his arms, and Lin Mo saw that it was the "Question Book" he bought.

"This book was bought by me to review, and I bought the last two copies of the entire Chennan, just one for you and me."

Looking at Ma Ruoya's somewhat smug expression, Lin Mo took the book and couldn't cry or laugh, there are only two books in the county, what is his own book, this is all an excuse for those profiteers to take the opportunity to raise prices, and it is estimated that Ma Ruoyan is serious.

Lin Mo couldn't say it directly, so he had to thank Ma Ruoya for his kindness, and the two immediately separated, Ma Ruoyan secretly returned to the house, Lin Mo returned to the restaurant and discussed with Zhao En and his wife, "Brother Zhao, then Master Wu is going to live with me for a few days, see if you can rent him a yard nearby, so that he can still guide Zhao Heng and me." ”

Lin Mo asked, and Zhao En quickly smiled when he heard it: "Where do you need to rent a house, isn't there a ready-made house?" Then he explained that the three rooms of the restaurant have been repainted and renovated, plus the rented room adds up to a total of six, during this time, Zhao En and the two lived in the restaurant, Lin Mo, Zhao Heng, Liu Xin'er and Wu Fuzi lived in the rented house. Xiao Mo: Actually, I have already bought that courtyard. Zhao En said with a smile.

Lin Mo was a little surprised when he heard this, Zhao En explained: "The old husband and wife, the old man suddenly got seriously ill and was in a hurry to use silver taels, and your sister-in-law and I also wanted to buy a property here, so they gave me the courtyard, originally said that it was fifty taels of silver, but it was not easy to see the old man, so I gave ten taels of silver more." ”

Lin Mo sighed when he heard it, nodded and sighed that the world is impermanent, the loss is to meet Zhao En, otherwise others will definitely take the opportunity to reduce the price, Zhao En This can be regarded as a good deed, the old couple has no son, and now they are sick again, and they don't even have anyone to take care of, Lin Mo thought of his grandfather, and secretly decided to let his grandfather live a stable life in his old age.

Lin Mo and Liu Xin'er went back to clean up first, Lin Mo and Zhao Heng had one room, Wu Fuzi had one room, and Liu Xin'er had one room, so they could just live in. What Wu Wenyan said about coming out to live for a while was actually to find a reason to help Lin Mo and the others review books and answer questions.

Lin Mo refused to take the county exam as a protégé of the Ma family, so it was naturally inconvenient to continue to go to the Ma Mansion to "skip classes", and Zhao Heng was originally a "borrowed student", and it was above board to go to the Ma family to "skip classes". It was with this in mind that Wu Wenyan came out to Lin Mo under the pretext of helping Lin Mo to study harder.

Wu Wenyan's kindness Lin Mo is remembered in his heart, in this era, the teacher is also close to the family, the teacher is equivalent to his parents, Wu Wenyan can be regarded as caring for himself, and can afford to be called "master".

In the evening, Zhao Heng led Wu Wenyan back to the house, and Lin Mo personally cooked a sumptuous dinner, which surprised Wu Wenyan with all the color, flavor and taste, but he was relieved to think that Lin Mo had a lot of relationship with "food is the sky", maybe it was the cooking skills he learned secretly.

Zhao Heng looked at the dishes on the table and said, "Brother Mo, I read "Mencius" today, there is a sentence in it that the gentleman cooks far away, is it that we can't cook anymore in the future?" ”

Lin Mo shook his head: "Xiao Heng, you are wrong to say this, Mencius's original words are that a gentleman is to a beast, and when he sees his life, he can't bear to see his death; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who cooks far away. It is to keep us away from killing, not to increase the number of evils, and to persuade the king to practice benevolent government, and not to always raise a large army. If a gentleman can't cook, wouldn't they all starve to death if they don't cook? Zhao Heng nodded and understood what Lin Mo meant.

Wu Wenyan showed a satisfied look, "Haha, Lin Mo, you are quite insightful about Mencius, but you don't look like someone who has never entered a private school." ”

Lin Mo looked at Wu Wenyan and smiled bitterly: "How can I deceive my master, but I have never gone to private school, these are just the insights I have gained when I have studied these days." ”

Lin Mo didn't lie, before Lin Mo came to this world in the future, the original "Lin Mo" didn't know a word until his grandfather died because his grandfather had been unwilling to let him study, and he didn't even want him to go out of General Town.

And now Lin Mo is buying books for self-study, and this county examination is basically the Four Books and Five Classics mentioned in the previous life, and Lin Mo is most familiar with the "Analects" and "Mencius", after all, he memorized a lot in junior high school and high school in his previous life, not only memorized but also had to write silently, but also memorized translation, annotations, and even punctuation marks.

This review, of course, Lin Mo started with the two books he was most familiar with, today Lin Mo read "Mencius" and took a look at the famous chapters, especially the "Fish and Bear's Paw" in "Mencius: Confession", this article was read and memorized by school before, Lin Mo read it today and remembered all kinds of knowledge points taught by the teacher in his previous life, Lin Mo had to admire his memory.

After eating, Liu Xin'er took the initiative to clean up the table, and Lin Mo and Zhao Heng followed Wu Wenyan to the main house to start studying nervously. Liu Xin'er, who was outside the house, listened to the reading from inside the house, and her face was filled with a faint smile.

In this way, Lin Mo entered the nervous preparation for the exam, every day during the day, Zhao Heng and Wu Wenyan went to Mafu, and they reviewed by themselves, and in the evening, Wu Wenyan focused on explaining some knowledge points, explaining the topics of the county exam every year, and letting Lin Mo grasp the key points of the questions and how to solve the problems in the most simple way.

This made Lin Mo feel like he was going back to the nervous review before the college entrance examination, and Liu Xin'er took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of Lin Mo's three people's daily life, although Lin Mo was unwilling to let Liu Xin'er do these foul words, but Liu Xin'er insisted on doing it, Lin Mo had no choice but to follow her. In this way, more than half a month has passed, Lin Mo is still reviewing here, and there is a situation in the restaurant.

After work on this day, Zhao En called Zhu Wen and a few helpers together and said with a serious face: "Now those big restaurants in Qiannan have begun to sell our signature dishes except Yuelaiju, sweet and sour fish, braised pork, these have been transmitted, this practice is only our restaurant will, I originally didn't believe it, but today I went to take a look, and it was the same as the rumors." I wondered, how did this get leaked? ”

Sister-in-law Zhao also nodded when she heard this: "The business of the restaurant has indeed been less than in the past few days. It seems to have been affected. ”

Zhu Wen felt a little aggrieved and resentful when he heard this, on the one hand, he was indeed a chef who had never done such an unkind thing, but on the other hand, as a chef, he was also in charge of the kitchen of the restaurant, if the method was leaked, it would definitely have nothing to do with him, either he leaked it or the chefs under him leaked it, and these people were related to him, if they really leaked it, he really didn't have the face to face Zhao En and Lin Mo.

Zhu Wen looked at the few helpers who bowed their heads and said solemnly: "If any of you leak it and stand up now, one person will do things and one person will be a man, if you don't come out, I will find out, don't blame me for not being merciful, and ask the elders of the clan to expel you from the family at that time." ”

As soon as Zhu Wen finished speaking, several people hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright and begged for mercy, saying that they had nothing to do with themselves. Zhao Enjian couldn't ask why, so he had to let them go first and make a decision tomorrow. Zhao Enjian couldn't ask why, so he had to let them go first and make a decision tomorrow.

At night, the husband and wife sat in the room, and Zhao En sighed as he looked at the dim oil lamp. Sister-in-law Zhao comforted: "It's just a few dishes, we can make new dishes, we don't have to be so distressed." ”

Zhao En shook his head and said, "I don't care about these dishes, I'm worried that if someone really leaks it, we can't catch that person, no matter how many dishes we make, it will be in vain, and it will always be leaked out." If I don't handle it well, this restaurant will be lost in my hands, this is Xiao Mo's reputation that he has worked so hard to build, and he trusts us so much and leaves it to us to run it. If I don't deal with what went wrong, how can I deal with him? ”

Sister-in-law Zhao nodded when she heard this, Zhao En thought for a while and said, "Or go and ask Xiao Mo to see if he has a way to solve it." ”

Sister-in-law Zhao hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, now that he and Xiao Heng are preparing for the county exam, you can't disturb him at this juncture." Zhao En nodded when he heard this.

Sister-in-law Zhao thought for a while and said: "I think it's okay, let Zhu Wen and the others stay in the restaurant from tomorrow and don't go out, so that they don't leave, if they are like this, they can also prevent them from leaking, and wait until the Xiaomo County exam is over before making a decision." ”

Zhao En sighed when he heard this, and now he can only do this. The next day, Zhao En told Zhu Wen about this, and Zhu Wen also agreed, after all, he was not afraid of crooked shadows, and Zhu Wen also wanted to find out the person who leaked the practice. In this way, the restaurant also settled down temporarily, and Lin Mo didn't know anything about it.

"Xin'er, you don't have to stay here every day, you can go to a restaurant or go shopping on the street and buy some rouge gouache or something. I'll put the money in a drawer on the table in the room, and you take it yourself. Lin Mo watched Xin'er sitting in the garden with nothing to do, just watching herself read, and said with concern.

Liu Xin'er shook her head and said with a smile: "No, I'm a man now, why do I need any rouge gouache, it's strange for a man to buy those things." ”

"Then you can buy some food, otherwise you will be hungry and thin again, Uncle Liu will think I am abusing you when he finds out." Lin Mo laughed.

Liu Xin'er's face turned red to the root of her ears when she heard this, and she whispered: "These days, I have gained weight from eating Brother Mo's dishes, where have I lost weight?" Lin Mo laughed when he heard this.

Here, Lin Mo was studying with peace of mind, but thousands of miles away in Chang'an City set off a wave because of a letter from Lu Qingya.
