Marrying Mrs. Hou and making a living by relying on her circle of food friends

Chapter 22 Trying to muddle through
Du Rusong looked at Zhang San, whose face was earth-colored and his hands were shaking like a sieve, being escorted by Qifeng.Everyone watched as the county master hesitated and tried to pass away.

"Good uncle, I don't dare anymore." Zhang San's voice trembled, and it was obvious that he was really scared.

Du Rusong also wanted to let him go because of his past friendship, and said vaguely: "It's not like we can't do this..."

"Master, it's not just a day or two since Zhang San used your reputation to bully the people!"

A voice emerged from the crowd accusingly.

Gu Yunyue saw that the time, place and people were favorable, and it was a good time to teach the fanatics a lesson and win people's hearts, so she turned to the county magistrate and said, "As an official, you should benefit one party. Today, my skills as a little girl have been fairly and justly appreciated by you. It can be seen that your Excellency is not a foolish official, but..."

Gu Yunyue pointed at Zhang San who was kneeling on the ground in a long tone, and her words changed sharply.

"This kid has been fighting for his power with his friends for many years, and he deserves to be punished today. If you don't make decisions for the people today, you will not be qualified to taste my dishes in the future! If you win the chef competition because of your blessing, then you will be mine Noble ones, let’s share the glory and wealth!”

Seeing the current situation, the county magistrate couldn't resist punishing Zhang San - not to mention that not being able to eat such good food would kill him.

He had no choice but to kill his relatives out of justice and said sternly to Zhang San: "Zhang San, I have seen you grow up and spared you time and time again out of family affection. But you have gone the extra mile and been pampered and become a local gangster! Today, I have spared you. I will punish you with thirty strokes, and I hope you will learn your lesson and change your ways!"

Then a group of government officials came over to take Zhang San from Qifeng's hand, and took him to the hall to execute the punishment of [-] big boards.

Everyone in the yard heard the screams of the villain Zhang San, and sighed in their hearts to relieve their anger, and their admiration for the courage and justice of the cook at the Marquis's house arose spontaneously.

This is what truly considers the people!
Gu Yunyue felt happy, thinking that she would have a better reputation in the county in the future. From then on, she would become famous, and it would be more convenient to buy vegetables in the market.

Sure enough, a pork seller in a market invited Gu Yunyue: "Girl, come to my stall from now on and I'll give you a [-]% discount on pork!"

Although the meat at his stall is usually of good quality and popular, the business is good.But out of gratitude to Gu Yunyue, she was given a discount.

"Girl, my stall is the same!"

“Come and visit my stall, I’ll leave you the best ingredients!”

Invitations came and went in the crowd, and Gu Yunyue was satisfied.

Du Rusong saw that the crowd's grievances had been calmed down, and he was just about to sneak away while concealing himself from others, when Gu Yunyue noticed his little move.

She flew forward to stop Du Rusong: "Master County, there is one more thing!"

The noisy voices of everyone's applause gradually subsided, and their attention returned here.

"The protection money received by Zhang San should also be returned to everyone! What does the county magistrate think?" Gu Yunyue deliberately asked the county magistrate. Everyone concentrated and reacted.

You took the money and still want to leave?Zhang San's gift of honoring you is also a part of plundering the common people!
The magistrate's face wrinkled together, and he felt secretly bitter.

Asking him to pay back the money is like tearing out the flesh in his heart!

But unless the money is returned to the vendors present, he will be unable to escape from this place now.

He could only bear the pain and give up his love and become a rich man for once.

Hearing Zhang San's screams, he gritted his teeth.

If he hadn't been his nephew, he should have been fined three hundred strokes!When Gu Yunyue saw Du Rusong obeying the instructions, she nodded with satisfaction and mingled with the vendors present.

"If you encounter any villains who bully you in the future, now you have a just county magistrate to make the decision for you!" Gu Yunyue shouted to everyone. She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "just" and pointed secretly. The county magistrate covers up crimes and conducts business according to personal circumstances.

Although Du Rusong felt strange after hearing this, his guilty conscience was reflected in his face, which was as pale as paper.

Everyone also knows that if Gu Yunyue, who is a superb cook, had not presided over justice, their grievances would not have been resolved for an unknown number of years!
She is the real Master Qingtian!

The afterglow of the setting sun shone in the county government yard, and it was time for everyone to go back and do their own business.

Except for the county magistrate and Zhang San, who was screaming in pain, everyone present was in a good mood, and they went back in groups talking about Gu Yunyue's righteous deeds.

Sure enough, Qifeng and Ruofeng were by Gu Yunyue's side, and the setting sun stretched their shadows very long.

Guo'er was chattering and kept talking about how Zhang San's evil deeds were finally repaid, and he couldn't hide his admiration for Gu Yunyue's loyalty.

On the way back to the Hou Mansion, Su Qilin overheard passers-by discussing things in twos and threes, including the words "House Mansion Cook", "Gu Yunyue" and "County Government Office".

Why would a mere cook in the Hou Mansion attract their attention?Su Qilin expressed confusion about this.

Could it be that the woman's arrogance caused some trouble to the Hou Mansion?
It was related to the Hou Mansion, so Su Qilin sent his subordinates to investigate.Soon after, he came back to report what passers-by had said.

"Master Marquis, I found out what the people were talking about and sought justice for Gu Yunyue. He conquered the county magistrate with his cooking skills and asked Du Rusong to severely punish his bully nephew."

When the Marquis heard that Gu Yunyue did not cause any trouble but instead got into trouble with the people, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that this woman would have such a righteous heart besides cooking, and she would become familiar with the people so quickly."

That's good.Su Qilin thought to himself.

The little girl is not only a good cook, but also very talkative, which helps her survive in different environments.

Presumably, if she wanted to enter the palace to meet the emperor and complete the act of recognizing her kin, she might have some potential to do so.

While thinking about Gu Yunyue, he unknowingly arrived outside her hospital.

While the Marquis was thinking about talking to the little girl, what he didn't notice was that the corners of his mouth had already turned up.

The man with cold eyebrows smiled brightly, as light as the crescent moon in the sky.

At this time, Gu Yunyue was spending too much energy on today's events. Although she was happy, as soon as she came back and finished making soup, she told Wan Guo'er to watch the heat and fell asleep on the table in the courtyard.

Su Qilin looked at her. She was sleeping in an awkward position, stretched out on the table.

In the dusk, the light in Gu Yunyue's courtyard became a little dim, and Gu Yunyue's figure also became smaller.Su Qilin gestured to Guo'er to continue watching the fire.

He looked at Gu Yunyue. This woman was quiet and different from usual.Her eyebrows are lightly closed and her expression is gentle, making people want to care about her in the night.

She is such a woman with extraordinary courage and sense of justice.
