Dongqu went out to buy the things the Bai family needed.
Liang Tian'er was packing up her belongings for Niantao Village.
"Please bring some osmanthus cake with you; Little Juanjuan likes to eat it."
There's nothing I can do; Liang Tian'er just likes little girls.
and……
Liang Tian'er thought of the little guy's slightly droopy puppy eyes and long, thick eyelashes, and thought he was so cute.
A figure appeared at the door, and Liang Tian'er looked over and saw Manager Liang.
Liang Tian'er quickly went to greet her, knowing that Manager Liang would not come to see her outside of the appointed time unless it was something important.
"Miss."
Manager Liang bowed and then said, "There's been no movement in Kang'an, but the magistrate's second son left town today. According to our men, he should be heading in the direction of Niantao Village."
Liang Tian'er: "If I remember correctly, the second son of the county magistrate's family seems to be a regular customer of the Zhenxiu Restaurant?"
Manager Liang: "Yes, Miss, but this second young master is not on good terms with Zhenxiu Restaurant. He just... simply likes to eat."
“Although Kang’an is in our town, he is still a member of a prominent family in the capital. Some of the rare dishes from the capital can be made at their Zhenxiu Restaurant, but our chefs here have never been to the capital, so…”
Liang Tian'er understood: "So, this second young master is actually after the Beijing cuisine of Zhenxiulou, not because he wants to befriend Kang An."
“Miss is absolutely right.” Manager Liang nodded and continued, “The secret-recipe roast meat from a few days ago was almost entirely ordered by this second young master, but there was just too little seasoning, and it was gone after only a few meals.”
Liang Tian'er instantly grasped the key words in the words.
"Zhenxiulou, Er Gongzi, Diaoliao, Baijia, Niantao Village..."
Liang Tian'er pondered for a moment and said, "The Second Young Master went to Niantao Village, probably for barbecue seasoning, but why would Kang An do that?"
If you want barbecue seasoning, Kang An is smart enough to know that the Bai family certainly doesn't have any.
Otherwise, Shiwei Restaurant would have brought it out long ago.
Was it simply because he disliked the Bai family that he sent the second young master to cause them trouble?
Kang An is a man who enjoys bullying ordinary people in the capital. If he wants to gain pleasure from bullying the Bai family, it would be the best choice for him to do it himself.
“Miss, a waiter said that he saw Wang Maquan and his men limping and looking flustered as they returned to town from outside. Shortly after, one of Kang An’s bodyguards also returned injured.”
Manager Liang clasped his hands in a fist and bowed his head, then continued, "Because there has been no news from the Bai family, I haven't mentioned it to you, Miss, for fear of troubling you."
Faced with Manager Liang's unauthorized actions, Liang Tian'er remained calm and composed.
"You should have told me."
Manager Liang nodded apologetically and said, "Yes."
"So, Kang An doesn't not want to go to the Bai family, but rather he's afraid of them?" Liang Tian'er speculated. "But what is it about the Bai family that he's afraid of?"
Thinking about how the Bai family behaved differently from ordinary farmers, how many rare things they possessed, and the precious boxing techniques that Dongqu had mentioned today.
Liang Tian'er had a bold guess.
The Bai family is very likely descended from a once-powerful but now-declining aristocratic family.
Niantao Village, Wang Family.
The wind rustled the grass, and Juanjuan watched the large hammer catching ants on the ground.
"Big Hammer Brother, it's time for you to go to school."
All the chores at home were done by her family today. After collecting the eggs and feeding the rabbits, she had nothing else to do.
Just then, her brother Big Hammer came looking for her, and her father kicked her out, along with her second brother who was at home.
