Chapter 96 Annoying

"Father didn't come back with you?" When she returned to the wing, Mrs. Lu was very confused when she saw Meng Renfu coming back alone.

"I followed my brother and sister-in-law back to my hometown." Meng Renfu stroked his beard, as if he was relieved.

"Why did you go back with your brother and sister-in-law so well?" Mrs. Lu poured a cup of tea for Meng Renfu, feeling a little scared. "Does the old man think that we don't take care of you well enough?"

"Madam, you are worrying too much. Father doesn't mean that." Meng Renfu looked around, turned away from the waiter, and then whispered: "I will tell you two, don't tell other people. Father is a student.

I went back because I was angry!"

Seeing that both of them were puzzled, Meng Renfu explained: "Last year, didn't I ask my brother to plant trees on the south bank of the Huihe River? I gave him three hundred guan of money to buy saplings. He took advantage of it and didn't know where to buy it.

I brought back a batch of diseased trees, but within two months of planting them, all the saplings were dead! I asked him where the remaining money was. Wouldn’t it be all spent in two months? But he hesitated and couldn’t tell. Later,

Then I found out that he was robbed by bandits on the road! My father was so angry that he felt that he was just causing trouble for my official career, so he took the whole family back to his hometown."

"Is this what happened last time my father took people to suppress bandits?" Meng Shaoqing opened her mouth wide.

Mrs. Lu was also speechless. The bandit suppression was very dangerous, and it was a strong force that had been there for decades. My husband took three of his men to inspect the area, and they broke through half of it before pulling out the stronghold.

"Isn't that right?" Mrs. Lu thought about it and realized something was wrong. "They were robbed by bandits, but they were still unscathed, with no skin scratches at all, and they came back with a cart full of saplings?"

"It's not like he has cheated too much! The gangsters collected two hundred and fifty thousand coins from them! It's useless for the saplings bandits to ask for it. Besides, they are from the county government, so they also

I was afraid that it would end badly if someone lost their lives, so I let them go."

Meng Renfu almost exploded with anger when talking about this incident.

A fool who never succeeds but always fails! He led his men to suppress the bandits, and when most of his men were lost, he was laughed at by the bandits for a while, mocking him for having a good brother!

He really wanted to do something good for the people and add to his political achievements. The river embankments in the south of Quwo County were all earth embankments with sparse saplings. In order to protect the embankments, he specifically did not go to Jiangzhou to ask for funds, but

I scraped together three hundred guan of money and gave it to my brother to buy saplings, but it turned out to be a mess.

If he didn't go to suppress the bandits and conquer the stronghold, he would probably be laughed at by his colleagues until he vomited blood!

Although the stronghold was removed, the bandit leader was allowed to escape. However, it is said that the bandit leader packed up his clothes and fled to the south of the Yangtze River. This is none of his business. He has no control over the south.

Seeing that her husband's forehead was so wrinkled that it could kill a mosquito, she quickly comforted and said: "Okay, okay. It's easy for my husband to come back and reunite. Don't think about these unpleasant things. Let's have a good meal?"

"That's fine." Meng Renfu breathed a long sigh of relief.

My husband finally came back. According to Lu's wish, he wanted to book a private room in Ding Shi Ji and order a table of dishes for her husband to take care of himself. However, Meng Renfu is not of such a wasteful nature. He goes to Ding Shi Ji on weekdays.

I also eat fish maw soup cakes and never order other dishes. I only order a clove of pickled garlic to go with it.

Mrs. Lu had no choice but to send her maid to Ding Shi Ji to order a few dishes and have them delivered here. It happened to be the season for eating wild boar, so Mrs. Lu ordered her maid to order four dishes of their signature wild boar feast.

Anyway, that restaurant is almost across the crossroads from the County Magistrate's Office, so you don't have much time to go back and forth, so you don't have to worry about the food getting cold.

Dingshiji didn't dare to neglect the order from the county magistrate's office. Steward Ding immediately ordered Chef Bao to arrange this order first, and leave the others' orders later or leave them to the assistant chef.

Soon, the little boy from Ding Shi Ji who specializes in delivering food picked up a large food box, ran steadily to the corner door of the county magistrate's house, and eagerly handed the food box in his hand to the hand of the maid inside the door.

"Sister Guyu, this is the meal ordered by your house."

"You're running so fast, be careful!" The pretty maid took the food box, gently lifted the weight in her hand, and then opened the lid to see if the dishes inside were still in order.

"Where can I sprinkle it?" The little boy slapped his chest, "I have been delivering food in the wind and rain for three years, and it has never been spilled! Sister Gu Yu, don't worry! Hehe, I heard that it is Sister Gu Yu who is here today, I

But it took a lot of effort to get the job of delivering food to the county magistrate’s house, just to see you, sister!"

"Smooth talk!" The maid was in a good mood. She handed over the meal bill with her orchid fingers raised, "Go back to pay your errands quickly. Be careful of your shopkeeper scolding you."

"Sister!" When the boy took the money, he didn't forget to touch a handful of the little lady's catkins. The tender white hands felt like suet and jade, which made him feel itchy in his heart.

The maid's face turned red, and she was about to pull her hand away. The young man was not very strong, but the maid looked shy and couldn't pull her hand away: "Oh, please let go!"

"Sister! When are you going to take a rest? Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, can we go out to watch the lanterns together?"

"Then I will go back to Madam tomorrow. Don't worry, I haven't taken a bath for half a year. It's not difficult to ask Madam for a leave." Seeing that her lover still didn't let go, the little maid blushed and stamped her feet, "Hurry up and let go."

!I’ll be so embarrassed if people see me!”

"Hey, okay, I'll take a leave from the shopkeeper tomorrow and wait for you at Changji Bridge on the Huihe River in the evening!" The boy was so happy to get his sweetheart's promise that he let go of his hands and ran away in a bound.

.

Only then did Guyu carry the food box to the kitchen, and carry the dishes in it to the main courtyard together with a few vegetarian dishes prepared in the kitchen.

Manager Ding arranged the same recipes as those given by Qiao Yun! Sweet and sour pork ribs, stone honey pork ribs, roasted pork with bamboo shoots, and clam-flavored buns with chicken sauce.

When the food was served, Mrs. Lu made a sound and put a piece of ribs in Meng Renfu's bowl: "They have a new dish? Husband, please try this ribs. Ding Shi Ji's dishes are always very good."

During the wild boar feast season in the past, Squire Chi would host a table of wine at Ding Shi Ji and invite the current county magistrate and several other squires. Therefore, Meng Renfu still knew what was served at the wild boar feast in previous years.

of.

These four dishes are indeed different from the past.

Meng Renfu ate the ribs, spat the bones on the plate beside him, and exclaimed: "It's delicious. Why did he suddenly think of making the ribs into a sweet dish? Could it be that his family has changed the cook?"

The tastes of the three members of the Meng family are all on the sweet side, the kind of steamed pork meat topped with apricot cheese. Meng Shaoheng is the only one who likes salty food.

"I know, I know!" Meng Shaoqing was quite excited: "It must be Sister Ayun's handiwork! Mom, have you forgotten? Yesterday, Sister Ayun wrote a letter saying that she sold some food recipes in Dingshiji, Shangyuan

There is no need to set up stalls anymore, you can go play with me!"

"That's true. Yun Yatou has a way of studying food."

"Who are you talking about?" Meng Renfu asked in confusion after hearing the unfamiliar name.

Lu and Meng Shaoqing told each other about Qiao Yun's interactions with the Meng family these days. First they praised the little lady again and again, and finally Lu changed the subject and said: "Sanlang Jun seems to be

What do you think, husband, of being interested in someone else?"

It is a good thing that such a capable and imaginative person has appeared in the county under his rule. When a Jie family appeared in Yangzhou, he made the governor of Yangzhou look so beautiful. Not only did he feel proud, but his political achievements were enough to boast about.

Moreover, a restaurant as big as Ding Shi Ji almost feeds the entire city of Yangzhou in sales tax alone! It’s a good sign that such talented people appear in our own territory now.

Meng Renfu couldn't stop nodding his head after listening to the previous words. She had the impression that this young lady came to him to sign a land deed a few years ago?

He was about to echo that he had seen this little lady before, but the last sentence almost made him angry.

"You just said, how old is Miss Qiao?"

"She is only eleven years old, about the same age as Qingqing!" Mrs. Lu was extremely worried, her brows knitted together, "But I can't blame my little lady for this. It was our son who started it, so what's going on?

good?"

"This idiot who doesn't live up to expectations!" Meng Renfu hated Tie Bu Chenggang and patted the table, "No matter how many kisses you've offered him over the years, he still doesn't like him, but he just fell in love with a girl from a merchant's family! I'm so angry!"

Meng Shaoqing was happily preparing to interrupt and tell her parents about the past few days. She had secretly observed the little affection between the two of them and wanted to ask Sister Ayun when she would become her sister-in-law. When she heard her father getting angry, she said something again.

It was held in the stomach.

What's going on? Dad and grandma don't seem to be optimistic about this matter?

Did she make a mistake by eating candy?
