"Boss, Boss." The gossipy voice of Yu Tao, the shopkeeper of Luyuan Qionglou, rang in Si Chuyu's ears. "Xu Liangxiao was exposed for murdering his brother and sentenced to death. Now Yulanxuan has been returned to Xu Yulan by the government."
Si Chuyu put down the teacup and said, "Then the day after tomorrow I will prepare some money and rush to Luoxia Cottage in advance to order the food for the next month."
Today, I have to return this hundred-year-old ginseng worth six thousand taels to Madam Su.
"Are all the shopkeepers and chefs here?"
Yu Tao said, "Only the shopkeeper and the chef from Huayang County have arrived yet. The others are all here, so they should be here before dinner."
"Okay, once everyone is here, we'll teach you the divine vegetable and fried chicken combo."
…
At the same time, a man dressed as a knight, with two shiny kitchen knives on his waist, was humming a little tune and driving a carriage at full speed on the official road.
"Mo Yunfei, Chef Mo, Hero Mo, my little ancestor, can you please slow down? I'm about to fall apart." Chang Xu, the owner of Qionglou in Luyuan, Huayang County, held the table tightly and cried out in pain.
He wouldn't want to go with Chef Mo if the host hadn't specifically asked him to go!
"Manager Chang, didn't you say you'd get dizzy traveling by water? And you're afraid of bumpy roads. I really don't know what to do." Mo Yunfei glanced back at him, raised an eyebrow, and said, "How about I take you there on horseback?"
"No!" Chang Xu was even more afraid of riding a horse. "Hero Mo, just take the carriage. I can handle it. The shaking won't kill me for a while."
"Really?"
"real."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of swords clashing came from the front, and Chang Xu hurriedly called out: "Hero Mo, quickly take a detour."
When Mo Yunfei saw the face of the man surrounded by men in black, he stepped on the horse's butt and jumped up.
"Mr. Mo, please stop interfering..." Chang Xu clearly saw Mo Yunfei pull out the kitchen knife from his waist and throw it at the group of men in black.
The kitchen knife seemed to have eyes and followed the knees of the men in black. Before another kitchen knife could be used, more than a dozen men in black fell down one after another.
"Wei Xiao, are you okay?" Mo Yunfei picked up his beloved kitchen knife from the ground, wiped it with the black-clad man's clothes, and wiped it again with his own handkerchief. "Hey, I have to disinfect it with strong liquor when I get home, otherwise the vegetables I cut won't taste good."
"Thank you, Chef Mo, for your help." Wei Xiao didn't expect to meet Mo Yunfei.
Mo Yunfei glanced at the shoulder bag on his chest and said, "Grandpa saved my life. I hope he can live a long and healthy life."
"Stop them quickly and don't let them bite their tongues to commit suicide." It was too late for Chang Xu to speak.
Wei Xiao quickly checked the men in black. "They are assassins." He then jumped on his horse and said, "Chef Mo, I'll meet you for a drink some other day. The old man is waiting for help, and we can't delay any longer."
Chang Xu glanced at the dead men on the ground and said, "Chef Mo, should we dig a hole?"
Mo Yunfei thought for a moment and said, "Wow, this is an official road. Let's do a good deed for the passers-by."
…
The carriages and trucks filled with potted flowers appeared at the entrance of the village and quickly attracted the attention of the villagers.
"Who said that Madam Su's extravagant spending would make the children hungry?"
"Alas, the rumors are not true. Madam Su can teach children to read and write, so she must have a way to make money."
"Copying books for a bookstore can make a lot of money. Our Wu Xiucai has been making a living by copying books for many years and has never asked his mother for money to pay his tuition."
"Mrs. Su can also make clothes, maybe she can make money."
"You're right, but it won't be long before our Osmanthus Village is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus. Madam Su bought so many flowers..."
"Why do you care so much? Madam Su is from an official family. Isn't it normal for her to like and grow flowers?"
"Did you know that Wu Xiucai has been coming to the village these past two days to take the imperial examination in Huayang County?"
"It's still early. We have to wait until the whole village is filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus before we can take the exam..."
"I just don't know if I can pass the exam this time."
Xiao Lingyu listened to what the villagers said, and the corners of his mouth rose. The villagers' gossip had changed again. They actually found many reasonable explanations for her lavish spending.
The villagers have a rich imagination, and they can really make money by doing needlework and embroidery.
The royal family invited many masters to teach the original owner, and it was easy to make a living with these skills.
Although the original owner suffered a lot to learn these things, now she has inherited them. To be honest, she is sincerely grateful to the original owner.
If the original owner had come to her senses and not died, and married into the Su family, she would still be able to support herself.
"Mom, why did you buy so many flowers?" Xiao Xier ran over and walked around the truck.
"To make you smell better, of course."
"Mother." Xiao Xier pointed at the large basin of roses in Su Ning'an's hand and said, "What kind of red flower is this? It smells just like you."
Hearing this, Su Ning'an lowered his head and sniffed carefully. It was indeed the scent of his mother. "Xiao Xi'er, it's a rose. The owner of the flower garden told me."
"Be careful of the thorns." Xiao Lingyu took Xiao Xier's hand away in time, "Tonight, mother will give you a rose and goat milk bath."
"So do I smell as good as my mother tonight?"
"right."
"Mom, we also want to take a rose and goat milk bath." The three brothers looked at Xiao Lingyu with eager eyes. Since their sister could take a fragrant bath, they must not be bad boys like other boys in the village. They would rather be their mother's fragrant sons.
"Okay, you all take a rose and goat's milk bath tonight."
Su Xingyi wanted to say that he also wanted to take a shower, as he was sweating all over from practicing walking every day, but he was too embarrassed to speak out.
If he told this to Xiao Lingyu, wouldn't Xiao Lingyu think that she had raised an extra son?
Su Xingyi was still lost in thought when Xiao Lingyu's gentle voice rang in his ears again, "By the way, Boss, give your dad a rose and goat's milk bath tonight."
"Oh, okay."
Su Xingyi's lips curled up unconsciously when he heard this. "Mother, then are we Xiangxiang's family?"
"That's right." Xiao Lingyu then turned his head to look at Su Xingyi, who was sitting quietly in a wheelchair. Seeing a smile in his eyes, Xiao Lingyu had to admit that he looked very handsome at the moment. After a moment of silence, he said, "But this is not enough. I will buy some more the day after tomorrow. At least our yard must be filled with fragrance."
Then the four little ones followed Xiao Lingyu and filled the main room and yard with various flowers.
Su Ningjie saw Xiao Lingyu enter the kitchen and pulled Su Ningan into the east room.
"Brother, please tell me quickly, did Wu Linshun succeed in getting his sentence reduced?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ning'an was immediately filled with righteous indignation and said, "I don't know whether the sentence was reduced or not. I only know that Sister Xu is very pitiful. Her father was killed by her second uncle."
"His second uncle?"
"He's the bad guy who took Yu Lanxuan away."
Su Ningjie frowned and said, "Aren't they brothers? How could this happen?"
