Xiaowan had already thought about it, don't lie easily for the role of the ring, and try to solve similar trivial things by yourself, so she was in full swing in the back kitchen.

However, it took longer than noon, and the dishes were less than noon, so no chicken just saved a dish, and finally served a plate of mapo tofu and back pot meat.

Ling Chaofeng looked entangled in the two dishes, Aunt Zhang raised her eyebrows, pulled a mouthful of rice at the bottom, and then dared to send the dish to her mouth, but it was still salty, so salty that she sent a few mouthfuls of rice in succession.

The noon meal, Aunt Zhang looked at it and smelled a little greedy, but at night, the taste was also poor, it was hard to imagine that it was for General Wei to eat such a thing at noon...... was about to open his mouth to ask Xiaowan what was going on, but saw Ling Chaofeng pick up the chopsticks and silently began to eat.

Although only a few pieces of tofu were delivered for three or four mouthfuls of rice, two slices of meat could eat most of the bowl, no matter what, the shopkeeper silently eliminated a large bowl of rice.

Xiaowan was going to add food to him, Ling Chaofeng said that she was full, so she served her own rice to eat, just stuffed it into her mouth, and almost spit it out, the tofu was salty, did she forget to put salt before and after, and put it twice? Three times?

Naturally, Xiaowan didn't know how to cook at all, but she was too nervous and in a hurry.

"Xianggong......" Xiaowan looked at her husband who went upstairs and said guiltily, "It's good that I'll bring you tea." ”

"Don't drink tea, I'll go upstairs to write a letter, and I'll come down in a while." Ling Chaofeng said in a good voice.

Downstairs, Aunt Zhang and Xiaowan finally flushed water in the dish and ate it reluctantly, and they were reluctant to waste food.

Xiaowan didn't understand why Ling Chaofeng could eat all the food so calmly; Aunt Zhang was curious, the lunch meal looked very good, General Wei and several guards outside ate it very well, why did it become like this at night? Having said that, when the dishes were served at noon, she was also very surprised that Xiaowan's cooking skills were so sophisticated.

"Late ......"

"Auntie, I'll make breakfast tomorrow." Xiaowan made up her mind and said, "I'll do it." ”

let his father-in-law eat such an unpalatable thing, Xiaowan was really distressed, and hated himself for not being capable. The men in the village would even beat their wives because the food was not ready, but Ling Chaofeng had no complaints, Xianggong was so considerate, she became more and more determined to learn to cook hard.

As for Ling Chaofeng, he didn't blame Xiaowan for his poor cooking skills, he was just curious, Wei Tengfei really ate something like this at noon?

He can endure it, because it hurts Xiaowan, what about Wei Tengfei?

Inexplicably aroused a little jealousy, fortunately, Wei Tengfei is about to leave, he is the general of Sichuan and Chongqing, there is nothing to do in the future, should he not come to this small place again.

Right now, what Ling Chaofeng is worried about is that he has formed a bond with the prefect Meng Kun, if he is at peace in the future, he is afraid that this old fox will be dissatisfied and want to pester him for more.

was sitting at the table thinking about things, Xiaowan came in with tea, her timid appearance was pitiful, Ling Chaofeng smiled and said: "Just put less salt next time, no one is born to cook, but don't dare to use such skills to entertain guests, don't be stubborn, just don't do business." ”

Xiaowan asked, "Xianggong, then do you still eat the food I cooked?" ”

Ling Chaofeng smiled: "Eat, why don't you eat." ”

Seeing that the letter paper was empty, it had been a long time, but her husband had not said a word, Xiaowan was concerned: "Is there anything that can't be written?" ”

Ling Chaofeng bowed: "I want to get rid of Meng Kun, so that he won't get entangled in the inn in the future." ”

Xiao Wan nodded again and again: "Such a bad thing is not worthy of being a parent official." ”

But Ling Chaofeng said: "What should Miss Meng do, I know that Ershan is moved, and it must be unusual for Miss Meng to come to see him again, there is a love between them, if Meng Kun knows, it is a handle, he will definitely use his daughter to blackmail us." ”

Xiaowan also understood: "It's easy for us to rob Miss Meng, but if it is publicized, how will Ershan be an official in the future, the court must feel that this young man is very restless." ”

When Ling Chaofeng heard this, she was very pleased that Xiaowan was smart and sensible, but this shouldn't have made her worry about it, so she said, "Don't worry, I will figure it out and how to do it is the best." ”

In this way, Ling Chaofeng didn't finish writing the letter until midnight, and Xiaowan had already fallen asleep, but when he felt her husband lying down, he rubbed up in a daze, and the two snuggled up to each other for the night.

The next day, Xiaowan got up very early, made breakfast in the kitchen, did not rely on the jade ring, fried a plate of eggs and dried fragrant dried eggs by herself, and boiled a pot of sticky millet porridge, simple but decent, seeing Ling Chaofeng eat two large bowls of porridge, she was finally happy.

Today is the last day of the scientific examination, Xiaowan and her aunt cleaned the house in Ershan together, took the bedding to dry in the sun, and when she was done, Aunt Zhang stuck her waist and said: "Right now, it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law in Ershan, it is not difficult to find a little girl in the village, but if you want to marry the prefect's daughter, even if the prefect Meng nods, Ershan himself will not dare." Everything he has now is given by the inn, is it possible that the bride will live in a small room in the backyard? ”

Xiaowan thought to herself, Ling Chaofeng has so much money, even if it is not difficult to buy a piece of land for Ershan, but as Aunt Zhang said, everything is given by the inn, and Ershan himself has not the ability to support a family and a daughter who grew up in fine clothes and food.

Aunt Zhang sighed lightly: "It depends on whether there is fate." ”

In the evening, Ling Chaofeng and Uncle Biao came back with Ershan, as soon as Uncle Biao saw Aunt Zhang, he hugged and hugged her, and she was so ashamed that she scolded people, and Ershan went back to the house to put down his things, and changed back to the old little brother who ran the hall.

The family finally got together, and when they had dinner, they discussed early how to arrange the township test in August.

The results of the hospital examination will only come out in March, and if you can show your talents, you can directly go to the township examination in August, and it is such a level and level of examination, so that ordinary people can have the opportunity to enter the court and become powerful, and even pass it on from generation to generation.

Aunt Zhang said: "How happy your own parents would be if they knew that you were so promising, and they didn't know if they had been looking for you for so many years." ”

Ershan smiled faintly, buried himself in eating, and Aunt Zhang said: "You were six years old that year, how could you not remember your family." ”

"I don't remember it then, and I can't remember it now." Ershan said, "I was blindfolded by human teeth, and I didn't know how many miles I walked, even if I knew it, I was scared stupid at that time." ”

Aunt Zhang smiled: "Yes, when I first came, I was thin and small, and I trembled when I saw people, and I wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, for fear that we would beat you." It took me a few days to understand that we were treating you well, and we gradually got better. ”

Uncle Biao also recalled: "When I came, I was only so big, and now I have to take the exam." ”

Xiaowan said casually: "Xianggong, why don't you go to the scientific examination, can't you pass the exam?" ”

Everyone laughed, and Ling Chaofeng said angrily: "I'm going to be an official, who will open the inn?" ”

After eating a meal lively, everyone is tired these days, so they go to rest early, Xiaowan asked if the minister's letter was sent, Ling Chaofeng said: "I still decide, take him away." ”

The person he wants to pick up is undoubtedly Meng Zhifu, but Meng Kunjiu has been in officialdom for a long time, and he is not a vegetarian. On this day, I was finally busy with the hospital examination and could take a breath, and several officials had a meal together before they dispersed.

He staggered back to the official residence, his wife, concubines, and children were waiting in the door to greet him, he swept his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, etc., and asked coldly: "Why don't you see Lian Yi?" ”

Mrs. Meng hurriedly said: "She is weak, so she has already rested." ”

Meng Kun sneered: "My body is weak, and I still want to run out when I see the sky." ”

The little concubine on the side added fuel to the fire: "Master, the girl is too old to stay, so she naturally has a heart for outsiders." ”

Although Mrs. Meng was annoyed, she didn't dare to raise the shelf of the main room in front of her husband, so she could only listen to a few words of complaint and watch her husband go to the concubine's courtyard.

She was unhappy, so she came to the boudoir to find her daughter, and insisted that Lian Yi go to her father to say goodbye.

Meng Lianyi was reluctant, and slowly came to his aunt's yard, and just walked to the door, he heard his father say inside: "Although Yue Huaiyin didn't deceive me, Ling Chaofeng is bigger, but I don't believe in evil, and the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, he is under my rule in Lizhou, can he still disobey me?" In the future, I will think of a way to cure him. ”

Lian Yi didn't recognize Yue Huaiyin, but she heard a lot of such nonsense, which shouldn't be unusual, and Ling Chaofeng was the shopkeeper of Lingxiao Inn, she knew that if something happened to Lingxiao Inn, Ershan would inevitably be implicated. In the final analysis, it was because she broke into the inn that caused all kinds of troubles later, and the inn was full of good people, not only did no one complain about her, but they also helped her everywhere, as well as Ershan......

Lian Yi was warm in her heart, relieved and guilty, glad that there were still people in this world who cared about her, and the guilt might make them uneasy because of her. She had to go to the inn as soon as possible and tell them about it, so that she could beware of her father.

But just as she turned around to leave, the aunt inside came out and said loudly: "Second girl, why are you here, come to ask the master for peace?" ”

She shouted loudly, and even said, "Master, I don't know if I heard what we just said." ”

The half-drunk man came with the smell of wine, and when he saw his daughter, he pulled down his face: "Evil animal, you don't stay in the house, what are you doing here to make me angry?" ”

Lian Yi said coldly: "Mother wants me to come and ask my father for peace." ”

Governor Meng sneered: "You are only afraid that you are looking forward to my early death, so that you can go outside to hook the man." ”

Meng Lianyi's heart was cold, why should he expect anything from his father, he can say whatever he likes.

But the concubine whispered in the old man's ear, Meng Zhifu frowned, and waved his big hand: "Come on, take her back to the house for me to take strict care of, and then tell her to run out secretly, I will pick your skin first." ”

He smiled coldly at his daughter: "Good girl, you can wait at home with peace of mind, Daddy will definitely find you a good family." ”

Meng Lianyi was full of fear, not that he would be "sold" by his father, but that no one would give the shopkeeper Ling a wake-up, worried that his father would harm the inn and not be peaceful. And all of this is her fault.
