A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 20: Chapter 20
An Chuxia stopped Gu Fangmiao who was about to leave, "Wait a minute, Brother Runsong, who is working in the yamen, said please go back after dinner."

"Oh!"

It didn't take long for Runsong and his companions to change shifts and walk up to them.

"It's you!" Gu Fangmiao looked at the person in surprise.

Run Song gently rubbed his big hands, as if the soft and waxy feeling just now was still in the palm of his hand.

An Chuxia stood aside and looked at the two leisurely, not knowing when they met.

Runsong raised his hand and coughed lightly, "Let's go! I'll take you to Yunkeju Restaurant for dinner!"

"Yunkeju! That's the largest restaurant in Lushan County. I heard that the sweet-scented osmanthus fish, eight-treasure duck, and many other signature dishes are delicious.

I also only heard that my grandfather and classmates came here for dinner and went back to talk about it. "

Gu Fangmiao thought of something, and put away her greedy look on her face, "I heard that the food there is very expensive~"

Run Song saw the little girl in front of him showing such a cute appearance, his heart skipped a beat.

"Let's go! Let's go to Yunkeju for dinner!"

An Chuxia and the others came to the tea shed on the street, and saw An Jinchen and Runsheng already under a big tree beside the tea shed.

It must have been too long for the two of them to occupy their seats, so they walked out of the tea shed and sat there.

"Brother! Brother Runsheng!"

An Jinchen and Runsheng who were chatting turned their heads and saw them, stood up and patted the dust off their bodies and walked over.

"Big brother?"

"Brother Runsong!"

"Why did you come here together?!"

"Stinky boy! You don't look for me when you come to the county seat. If I didn't meet Xiao Xia at the door of the office, I wouldn't know you were here."

Runsong's face no longer had the softness that he had relaxed as much as he could when facing the two little girls, and he glared at his own younger brother and the younger brother who grew up in the same village with a tigery face.

Runsheng shrank his neck, and An Jinchen's handsome face was full of smiles, "Today I just sent Xia Xia and Miss Gu to hug each other, and it's okay, so I didn't bother Brother Runsong!"

After finishing speaking, An Jinchen touched his nose nervously. They were most afraid of this elder brother who protected them and was not good at speaking, and had a serious face since they were young.

Run Song snorted lightly, but said nothing.

"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner!"

An Jinchen and Runsheng looked at each other, led the ox cart, and obediently followed behind.

A few people came to Yunkeju Restaurant, and the shopkeeper inside obviously knew Runsong, so he quickly asked Xiaoer to pull the ox cart to the backyard to feed, and ordered someone to take them to the private room on the second floor.

It is indeed the best restaurant in Lushan County. The private room is clean and elegant, and there are several pots of flowers and plants in it that emit a natural fragrance.

Everyone in An Chuxia knew that the food here was not cheap, so they just ordered a few vegetarian dishes casually.

Even Gu Fangmiao, who has always loved to eat, only ordered one Furong tofu.

When Runsong saw the dishes they ordered, he knew that they wanted to save money for him, so he took the menu and ordered all the signature dishes that Gu Fangmiao mentioned just now.

What sweet-scented osmanthus fish, eight-treasure duck...

During the time of serving the dishes, Runsheng still couldn't help asking his brother why the shopkeeper was so polite to him just now.

Runsong's resolute face relaxed and showed a slight smile, "No matter how big his restaurant is, he will occasionally encounter troubles, and at this time, he needs to be dealt with by the Yamen.

And we detectives are often on duty on the street, and basically know everyone on the street.

This is the shrewdness of the people who do business!
Build a good relationship with us, they will not suffer! "

"Oh! That's how it is!" Only then did everyone understand why the shopkeeper greeted them with a smile.

After the dishes were served, everyone ate them with gusto, but An Chuxia, who had eaten real food, thought it was just average.

The smell of the fish has not been completely removed, and the taste of the eight-treasure duck is also a bit burnt.

An Chuxia secretly sighed, if it wasn't for An Jinchen's elder brother who was obsessed with letting her take the imperial examination.

Cook some delicacies or open a small restaurant or restaurant in this world by yourself, maybe you can live a leisurely life.

The premise is that in the ancient times when the laws were not perfect, no powerful people coveted the gourmet recipes she made.

If you encounter it, don't talk about a leisurely life, it's hard to say whether you can live freely.

It was precisely because of this understanding that An Chuxia finally followed An Jinchen's wishes and chose to take the imperial examination.

After dinner, An Chuxia and the others bid farewell to Runsong and went back to Qingshi Town. After all, it takes about two hours to travel from the county seat to the town.

Runsong sent them to the street corner and told his younger brother Runsheng: "You have to work hard for Ah Chen who earns such a high salary. If you let me hear that you are lazy, let me see how I will deal with you when I go back." !"

Runsheng dodged his eyes and nodded heavily, "Brother, I understand."

He has been afraid of this brother since he was a child.

Run Song went to be a soldier for a few years and went to the battlefield to kill people. After returning, he became more aggressive, and Run Sheng was even more afraid of him as a big brother.

An Jinchen saw that it was getting late, so he said to Runsong, "Brother Runsong, let's go."

Runsong silently glanced at Gu Fangmiao with deep eyes, and waved to them, "Let's go, it will be late if we don't go back."

An Chuxia saw Runsong peeking at Gu Fangmiao with a hint of comprehension in his eyes.

Turning around and seeing Gu Fangmiao who had started to get confused after eating without realizing it was full, she couldn't help but feel amused.

At first glance, Brother Runsong is a man with a plan, coupled with himself as a foodie junior, An Chuxia shook his head.

I'm afraid that the teacher and the others will look down on Brother Runsheng as a headhunter.

The ox cart drove slowly out of the county seat, and Run Song stood there watching them leave until the ox cart turned and could no longer be seen, then walked towards the Yamen.

Gu Fangmiao, who had the habit of taking a lunch break in the bullock cart, was already leaning on An Chuxia, closing her eyes and taking a nap.

It was still very cold in January, An Jinchen picked up the thin quilt from the bullock cart and handed it to An Chuxia, "Wrap it up, you two, don't freeze."

An Chuxia took the thin quilt and wrapped herself and Gu Fangmiao who was leaning on her body.

An Jinchen moved behind his younger sister and asked her to lean on his back, so that it would be more comfortable on the road.

An Chuxia pulled out some corners of the quilt and covered An Jinchen's legs, so that his legs would not freeze after being coiled in the car for a long time.

Runsheng in front had already put on the big padded jacket for driving, and a pair of padded gloves that An Chuxia made for them.

An Chuxia was able to think of making gloves because last winter she discovered that An Jinchen and Runsheng were selling stewed meat at the pier, where the humidity was high, and the wind by the water was cold and cold, and both of them had chilblains on their hands.

The sun in the afternoon is not as warm as in the morning, and the gentle breeze makes people's faces hurt.

An Chuxia shrank her face into the thin quilt, and Gu Fangmiao was already shrunk into her arms.

Because today is the registration day for the county test, there are quite a lot of horse-drawn carts and ox carts on the way back.

An Chuxia sat on the bullock cart casually looking at the scenery on the road, when she heard a cold snort of contempt from a carriage passing by the bullock cart.

She looked up subconsciously, and met Dong Linlin's mocking eyes from the carriage window.
