In early autumn, the breeze is gentle.

The three of them sat in the courtyard to eat, which had a unique flavor.

Chen Xi made fish fillet and lean porridge, of course, the fish was brought back by Yang Tinghan early in the morning from the river, and after Chen Xi's processing, the whole yard was filled with a strong fragrance.

Although Chen Wan had no appetite, when she really tasted the aroma of porridge, she couldn't help but drink a big bowl.

After the three of them were full, Chen Xi was racking his brains about how to get rid of Chen Wan, and then entered the county seat, but he didn't expect someone to hand him a pillow when he was sleepy.

The two carriages of the housekeeper of the county government came to Chen Xi's house.

"Please go and see the old lady, there is a lot of trouble in the house now, the old lady has no appetite, and now the adults are dying, and I have been hoping that you can let the old lady eat something!"

How so?

Chen Xi's brows tightened, and the kind old man flashed in his mind.

"Let's go now!"

Without further ado, Chen Xi quickly got into the carriage, and Yang Tinghan followed.

Chen Wan also wanted to get into the carriage when he saw such a good opportunity, but he found that there was no place in the carriage.

"I'm sorry I've been in a hurry these days, so I'm only using a pony carriage!" The butler looked embarrassed.

Chen Xi snickered in his heart: "Sister, you can help us take care of the house at home!" ”

After finishing speaking, he looked directly at the butler, and the coachman in front of him went down on one side, and the horse galloped on the country road.

Chen Wan stood at the door with a jealous expression, watched the carriage go away little by little, and scolded loudly: "It's just a white-eyed wolf, if it weren't for your mother, you would have starved to death a long time ago!" ”

Scolding and scolding and dissatisfaction are dissatisfaction, but things still have to be done.

She looked around, but there was no one around.

When she returned to her room, the smile on her face was gone, replaced by a face full of calculation.

She searched all the places in the house where she could hide things, but still couldn't find the legendary recipe.

"Where will the little slut put his things?" She muttered and flipped as she flipped through.

Because she was doing things too seriously, she didn't notice that there were other people in the yard.

……

Ahh

Along the way, Chen Xi kept sneezing.

Yang Tinghan was very worried, and wanted to take off the clothes on his body to Chen Xi, but he was refused: "It's not cold, I guess someone is talking to me behind my back, don't worry, I'm fine!" ”

The two men glanced at each other, tacitly.

Yang Tinghan has already sent someone to guard him at home, and he believes that people will never be able to make waves.

Half an hour later, Chen Xi appeared in the old lady's courtyard under the leadership of the housekeeper.

"Child, I'm really embarrassed for you, I've become like this, and you're still coming to see me."

The old lady's pale face was full of love, and it was distressing to look at.

Especially the full head of gorgeous hair, there is not a single black hair.

Chen Xi's nose was sour, and he subconsciously sniffed: "Your old man will definitely live a long life!" ”

"You kid is talking nonsense, you live a long life, aren't you an old monster! I don't want anything other than peace at home! ”

The last four words express an old man's expectations for his children and grandchildren.

It's a pity that except for the county magistrate who understands the old mother's thoughts, everyone else is confused, and of course there are a few vicious eyes.

Chen Xi felt like a man's back, but he didn't look around, but focused all his energy on the old lady.

"I heard that your old man has a bad appetite, I'll go to the kitchen and cook you something to eat now!"

People are iron, and rice is steel.

The old lady's body is so fragile now, if she can't eat anymore, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive this winter.

Chen Xi walked into the kitchen under the leadership of a little girl.

Seeing everything familiar, she counted the ingredients and quickly had an idea.

Chen Xi was busy in the kitchen alone.

And Yang Tinghan sat in the garden and waited patiently, his face was cold, he was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of him, but was attracted by a figure.

He looked at the butler who was in charge of entertaining him: "What did you just pass?" ”

The housekeeper glanced at it, and then explained in a low voice: "That is Miss Zhang from the capital......"

The housekeeper is over half a hundred years old, and his granddaughter is about the same age as Zhang Xuening.

The tragic things about the little girl he talked about were all about him, and they were mixed with personal feelings.

He sat aside and said this, because he was too involved to ignore Yang Tinghan's deep eyes.

Miss Zhang's family, when she was just born, her father was just a poor student, not even a showman, and later because of the preciousness of the eight characters and the son of Houmen, but unfortunately the son of Houmen died, and she also fell into the reputation of a Kefu.

Lord Zhang is also the elder brother of Mrs. County Ling, the biological father of Miss Zhang, who has been prosperous in the officialdom all the way over the years, and has risen steadily, Zhang Xuening has already unknowingly become a model for all nobles in Beijing, but unfortunately because Kefu has never married.

When the two of them were talking, Zhang Xuening seemed to notice that someone was looking at her, and turned her head as if she had some feeling.

Seeing that scarred face, for some reason, I felt that those eyes were a little familiar.

She walked over with a smile and said, "Uncle housekeeper, this son is good!" ”

The standard lady demeanor reveals extravagance in every gesture.

Yang Tinghan raised his head and looked stunned, and then took a deep look: "Hello Miss Zhang!" ”

Just four words make people feel obscure and difficult to speak.

The butler looked puzzled and looked deeply.

Zhang Xuening felt more and more familiar with the person in front of her: "I wonder if the son has been to the capital?" It always feels a little familiar! ”

Yang Tinghan shook his head very neatly: "I'm just a poor boy in the countryside, and I've never been in the capital!" ”

"Well, maybe I recognized the wrong person." Zhang Xuening's tone was thick with loss when she spoke.

After the three of them exchanged a few words together, men and women did not kiss, and Zhang Xuening soon arrived in front of the old lady.

The old lady is seriously ill, and as the younger generation of the family, of course she has to stay in the yard.

As soon as she walked in, she greeted everyone, but when she saw a few unhappy faces, she was a little puzzled: "I'm a little late, is something happening?" ”

Mrs. County Ling snorted unceremoniously: "It's not that the little lady is here again, with her superb cooking skills, she coaxed the old lady to almost not even want her own granddaughter." ”

Gu Wanhua thought of the days when she was chanting scriptures and praying for blessings in the dilapidated temple, and her face was cold: "Mother, my grandmother doesn't like me at all, why do you want to stay here, I can't even see anyone every day, I want to go back!" ”

"You bastard, it's getting more and more excessive now, bring you back, this is the old lady is seriously ill, if you dare to leave now, you will be spurned in this life!"

Speaking of the cause of the old lady's illness, the people present lowered their heads one after another, not daring to say more.
