In less than half a month, a new county order came to Liaoyi County, which was in the rear, and the willful and reckless Lian eldest girl was imprisoned in Dexin Shantang by Princess Qi, and she was not allowed to leave half a step in this life. He also ordered her to chop wood for food, and if she did not finish the day's work, then she would have no food for a day.

As for the huge family business that Master Lian once left, Shen Qiutan ordered the new county order to establish a public notice board after finding out that the Lian family had no blood relatives.

All the remaining materials of the family are used to supply Dexin Shan Tang and Dexin Academy, and every expenditure must be recorded and written on the notice board.

I am afraid that this is the first time since the founding of Daning, and the people of Liaoyi County have never seen this kind of thing, everyone is surprised, and they are competing to see the jokes of the eldest girl and at the same time begin to explore this princess of Qi.

And Princess Qi Shen Qiutan has already left Liaoyi County.

She wants to go south to Jibei.

I don't want to delay for a moment.

The dream of memory retrospection did not appear again, but Jibei is the place where her life began, the place where Shen Yanfeng and Lian Jingxing still intersected in addition to the capital, the place where it is possible to keep the clues of the jade seal, and the place where her father and mother died.

The group passed through Luoye and arrived in Lingze County.

There are not many people, no less, and it is a little eye-catching to live in the county seat, Zhu Siwu commanded the men and horses to camp outside the county seat, and Shen Changzhen came to Shen Qiutan: "Sister, let's go south, can it be safe?" ”

"There is no safe place anymore. Jibei, Jizhong and Huainan are not far away, and they have long been controlled by Wang Chengzhu, so I dare to take you and Xiaoyou south. ”

Changzhen nodded, and the young man's face was filled with understated sadness and expectation: "After so many years, I should also go to the grave of my father and mother to put a pillar of incense." ”

Shen Qiutan nodded, needless to say, worshipping her father and mother, she actually had other considerations.

She originally wanted her younger brother to take her son back to Guning, or go to the direction of the capital to find Li Chen, but she always remembered the previous dream.

Now that the grass has dried up and the cold winter has arrived, the reeds in the dream should not appear, and the scene where the younger brother and a child fled for their lives in the reed field may not be happening now. But Shen Qiutan didn't dare to bet, what if?

In case there would be such a moment of crisis after separation, she would rather not be separated.

"Mother, I want to eat fish rice." Xiao You woke up, muttered a few words, turned over and wanted to sleep.

Shen Qiutan kissed her son, she has been on the road for the past few days, the child must be tired, and of course she doesn't mind satisfying the small request for food, so she ordered: "Cardamom, someone will go into the county town to buy a few live fish, and ask the cook to make fish rice tonight." ”

"Hey!" Cardamom responded and hurriedly went out to order.

When the bonfire was lit, the fish rice that Xiao You wanted to eat was also served.

This kind of fish rice is not Chaoshan fish rice in the traditional sense, but it is also steamed with fresh river fish.

"Mother, today's fish are different from before." Xiao You took a bite and stopped gnawing and moving the chopsticks.

"What's wrong? Not in the same mood? ”

"It's not delicious, it's weird, I can't say it."

Shen Qiutan put down his chopsticks and gave Cardamom a look, Cardamom hurriedly walked out of the tent, and came back after a while: "Niangniang, Chef Qian, who is used to fixing fish and rice, is sick, and this meal is made in Chef Luo, who is newly found in Guning." ”

Shen Qiutan frowned, when she married Li Qi's grandmother and accompanied two cooks, although it was a marriage, it was mainly because of Shen Qiutan's years, and many dishes were made at Shen Qiutan's request, including a Qian chef. Before leaving, she remembered that her son loved to eat fish, so she also instructed Mama Chang to arrange for Mother Qian to accompany her, but she suddenly fell ill without thinking about it.

"What disease? But does it matter? ”

Cardamom replied, "I heard that I drank cold water and broke my stomach, and now I can't get up from bed." ”

Shen Qiutan looked at the mandarin fish in the white porcelain plate, the plate was white, the soup was bright, and it didn't smell wrong, she picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, the fish was smooth and refreshing, and the fragrance was overflowing, and she really didn't feel anything strange.

But...... It's a little too delicious, isn't it?

She looked at her son, and then at her younger brother, Changzhen was also a little inexplicable, he stretched out his chopsticks to move the fish, Shen Qiutan suddenly stopped: "No." ”

Changzhen wanted to ask, but Shen Qiutan directly ordered: "The new cook, bring it to me." ”

Shen Qiutan didn't know why her son said that this fish was not delicious, but she tasted it, and felt that the taste of this fish was not only not unpalatable, but also extremely delicious, and I don't know how much better than the fish that Qian Chef Niang had renovated before.

I just took a bite and wanted to take the next bite.

After a while, a middle-aged woman with her hair wrapped was brought in, she was a little excited and a little uneasy, and rubbed her hands back and forth, but there was nowhere to put it.

Shen Qiutan's brows furrowed more and more tightly, could it be that he was thinking too much?

"You did a good job, this fish is a little more delicious than Chef Qian's."

Under Shen Qiutan's praise, he saw that the new cook was even more at a loss, and she was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

"Mother, obviously ......" Xiao You's aggrieved pull Shen Qiutan's sleeve, Shen Qiutan comforted him slightly, and said to the cook: "If the dish is well done, it should naturally be rewarded, but I have always loved to get to the bottom of food, and I don't know what method Chef Luo used to make this fish so delicious." ”

"Yes......" Chef Luo was about to say excitedly, but she took it back when she kicked the door: "Yes......"

"But you're worried that I'll covet your skills and want to keep a hand?"

"No, no, no......" Chef Luo hurriedly waved her hand, Princess Qi smiled, but why was she always a little stunned in her heart.

As a chef, cooking skills are the foundation of her life, of course she doesn't want to be stolen, but if you get a noble question, and you don't say it, isn't it shameless?

She hurriedly said, "It's an extra raw material." ”

…………

At the same time, Li Xuan, who had been fighting for days, was finally able to stop and take a look at the portrait of Xiaoyou that Shen Qiutan sent him.

The latest letter is to learn that Qiu Tan changed his plan and went directly south to Jibei from Luoye, and Xiao You's portrait was also sent together with this letter. On the white paper, the charcoal is thick and light, and a child with a drooping hair sleeps soundly in the carriage.

Li Qi put away the painting properly, picked up the pen, and wanted to reply to Shen Qiutan.

"Lord Wang, this is a supper in the room, please take care of yourself." The voice is a little sweet and a little soft, not like a man in the barracks.

"Hmm." Li Qian lifted his sleeves to polish the ink, and said lightly: "Go down." ”

As a result, the man listened, but came over: "Where can the prince and your body work?" Let the villain grind ink for the prince. ”

A burst of rich plum blossoms rushed into the tip of his nose, Li Qi's eyes turned cold, but the man came over unconsciously, and touched Li Qi's arm with his soft wattle intentionally or unintentionally.

Like a dragonfly dotting water, the "little soldier" wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier blushed and wanted to touch Li Xuan's grinding hand.
