Chapter 240: Don't accept the toast and drink the penalty wine
Little Tangbao carried his own little basket and went to the big house to deliver the braised beef.
County Magistrate Zheng praised the braised beef on the table highly.
"Brother Su, this braised beef with wine is absolutely amazing!"
County Magistrate Zheng took a sip of wine and put a piece of braised beef in soy sauce into his mouth.
The more you chew, the chewier it becomes, and the more delicious it tastes.
Old Man Su smiled happily after hearing what County Magistrate Zheng said.
He had heard that this braised beef was made by his own precious daughter.
As for the fact that it was the eldest daughter-in-law who did the work and the second daughter-in-law who lit the fire, Old Man Su simply ignored it.
Anyway, the little girl spoke, so it was the little girl who did it.
"Brother Zheng, if you like it, then eat more. This is made by Tang Bao."
Old man Su said this with a smile on his face, his pride written all over his face.
"Did Fu Ya do this?" County Magistrate Zheng's eyes suddenly widened.
Then, he picked up several slices of food and put them into his mouth with his chopsticks flying.
Fu Ya made it, he must eat more!
Seeing this, the village chief and Mr. Wang, who were accompanying the guests, no longer felt restrained by the presence of the county magistrate, and joined in the fight for the braised beef.
The county magistrate may often see it, but the braised beef with soy sauce made by Fu Ya is harder to come by than the county magistrate.
To put it bluntly, in front of the braised beef with soy sauce made by Fu Ya, the county magistrate was their enemy - an enemy who was trying to steal their meat.
As for how Fu Ya, who was not even as tall as the stove, made the braised beef, it was not within their consideration.
In the west room, the county magistrate’s wife, Mrs. Ye, took a bite of the braised beef and her eyes lit up.
"The meat tastes really novel," Ye praised.
Mrs. Su smiled and said, "This was made by my sister-in-law."
As for the fact that she had done it herself, Mrs. Su chose to forget about it.
"It was actually made by Fu Ya?" Ye said in surprise, "Then I must eat more."
Similarly, Ye did not delve into the feasibility of Xiao Tangbao actually doing it.
In the big house, the old general ate braised beef in soy sauce and praised it highly.
It’s a pity that there is meat but no wine.
The old general couldn't help but wonder how he could eat this kind of delicious braised beef again after his injury healed, accompanied by strong liquor.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at Xiao Tangbao and said earnestly, "You are still young, don't always think about getting engaged. Even if some people seem good when they are young, they may not become useful when they grow up."
When Xuanyuan Jin said this, he snorted, not knowing what he was thinking about.
He added, "It's okay if he's not a good person, but if he has bad character and bad morals, wouldn't you be dragging him down with you? Even if you regret the engagement, you'll be blamed. You won't be able to tarnish your reputation for nothing because of someone who's not worthy..."
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
I was completely confused after hearing this.
When did she start thinking about getting engaged?
She's still a baby, okay?
Besides, who are you referring to as “some people”?
Why does she feel like she is implying something?
"Little brother, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Little Tangbao blinked his big eyes, which were clear and black, and said with an innocent face.
Xuanyuan Jin, "..."
A stagnation.
"Hahaha..." The old general laughed out loud, "Jin'er, Fuya is only a few years old. How can she understand what you are saying to her?"
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Tangbao and said loudly: "Don't worry, my dear granddaughter, grandpa will definitely find a good marriage for you in the future!"
The corners of Xiao Tangbao's mouth twitched.
"Grandpa, I'm not your granddaughter yet." Xiao Tangbao said helplessly.
"You already call me grandpa, so why am I not your granddaughter?" The old general said helplessly.
He decided that in order to be able to eat braised beef with soy sauce again after his injury healed, he would also make Xiao Tangbao recognize him as his grandfather.
Little Tangbao felt helpless in the face of the cheating old general.
**
County Magistrate Zheng had a delicious meal at the Su family, and then returned to the county town with his wife Ye.
On the way back, Ye listened to County Magistrate Zheng's story in shock and completely confirmed the identities of the old general and Xuanyuan Jin.
"This matter is of no trivial importance, especially the identity of that young master. It must not be leaked to the outside world!" County Magistrate Zheng carefully instructed Ye.
"Of course! Don't worry, sir. I know the seriousness of the matter."
Ye agreed readily, but in her heart she was extremely envious of the Su family's good fortune, as they could even get close to such a noble person.
"Then...the Duke of Ying's Mansion?" Ye asked tentatively.
County Magistrate Zheng showed a smug expression on his face and said, "Just tell that Duke's wife that the Su family declined the offer because their daughter is still young and they don't want to get engaged so soon. If the Duke of Ying's Mansion doesn't understand and wants to cause trouble for the Su family, no matter who offends Fu Ya, there will be no good end. With those two protecting the Su family and Fu Ya, the Duke of Ying's Mansion will be in big trouble!"
After hearing what County Magistrate Zheng said and thinking about the fate of the cow-selling scammer today, Ye felt relieved.
After returning to the county town, I went straight to the inn without caring that it was late.
"What? Rejected?" The old lady of the Duke of England's mansion's face changed.
She never imagined that the grandson of the Duke of England would be rejected when he asked to marry a little country girl!
Ye looked at the old lady's expression and said carefully, "It's been a while since the Su family had such a daughter. We're afraid she'll melt if we hold her in our mouths, and we're afraid she'll drop if we hold her in our hands. The whole family treats her like a treasure, so we don't want to arrange a marriage for her too early, and we're reluctant to let her marry far away in the future..."
The old lady looked over with a sharp gaze before Ye finished speaking.
"If they reject it, then they reject it. I guess the Su family feels that the grandson of our duke's family is not worthy of their daughter!" said the old lady in a cold voice.
The Su family's refusal to marry was like a slap in the face.
It was especially ironic when I saw the various betrothal gifts displayed in the house.
Because she was anxious to arrange the marriage, Mother Wang spent most of the day busy arranging the betrothal gifts.
Although the other party is just a country girl, this is a matter of reputation for the Duke's Mansion after all.
Even though the betrothal gifts were prepared in a hurry and had many shortcomings, they were still many times better than those of ordinary families.
Now all of this has become a silent irony to the old lady.
Ye looked at the old lady's expression, didn't dare to say anything more, stood up and said goodbye awkwardly.
But in my heart I felt that it would be fine if the old lady just stopped here.
Otherwise, the outcome of the confrontation between the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion, as well as that young master, might not be so good.
After Ye left, the teacup in the old lady's hand finally broke to the ground.
The crisp sound of "Pa!" seemed to herald the old lady's temper.
"Humph! This is outrageous! A mere farmer is so ungrateful! I am the legitimate grandson of the Duke's Mansion, am I not worthy of a little girl?! You are really asking for trouble!" The old lady was furious, her face ashen.
Mother Wang quickly squatted down and carefully picked up the debris on the ground.
I also feel that the Su family is too ignorant of their own limitations.
The Duke's Mansion only needs to move its little finger to destroy the Su family and leave them with no place to stand!
