Chapter 43
"What's the matter, little girl?"

Seeing that Man Yue's expression was not good, Mrs. Chen also knew that little follower.Out of curiosity, he asked, "But what happened? Where is Lord Hou?"

Yang Manyue shook her head, and murmured: "He has entered the capital, and the emperor summoned him, maybe it's a military affairs."

Mrs. Chen couldn't help thinking of what the literati were talking about these days, and couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart, and asked in a low voice: "But is there going to be a war?"

"How can I know this?"

Yang Manyue shook her head, "Mother, don't worry about it. He has a high position and authority, and it's not his turn to charge..."

The voice just fell, but I heard a few literati on the side of the roof discussing in a low voice, "I have a good friend who works as a teacher in Shige's old home. My Ming Dynasty is ready to attack and regain the lost ground in one fell swoop."

Chen's body couldn't help but tremble. Those who have experienced the chaos of war have a deep understanding of war.Once the success is complete, the bones will be destroyed, and the war will start, and the people at the bottom will always be the people at the bottom.

Not to mention that the person who leads the battle is likely to be his future son-in-law.If something happened, wouldn't my daughter have to watch over the widow?

"otherwise……"

Another literati then said: "The so-called soldiers and horses go first without using food and grass. I haven't heard that the imperial court has collected food for service. Maybe it's something else."

"Leng Yun guards the sea, if the war has not started, why did he call to Beijing overnight?"

"It makes sense. Maybe he is going to give the wild boar skin a secret blow."

Wild boar skin is naturally called Daikin.There is this derogatory claim that it is related to Jin Taizu Nurhachi.Gain Nurhachi's name translated into the Han language means wild boar skin.

And this is precisely the reason why the Ming people despise them.

A barbarian is a barbarian, uneducable, and even a name that is so unprofessional.Over time, people in the Ming Dynasty used wild boar skin instead of referring to the Kingdom of Jin, which was extremely dross.

Yang Manyue could understand their thoughts, but she who came from later generations felt that these words sounded a little weird.The Manchus have become part of the big Chinese family. Aren’t all Jin and Han people Chinese?

It's just that she can't say this, after all, she is from the Ming country now, and her position is hostile to the Jin people.If you say this, you will definitely be labeled a traitor.

Thinking of the contents of the letter, she trembled in her heart.

Although she didn't say anything important about the military, she felt nervous from just a few words.

"If I have something to do, I will immediately go to the government office to beat the drum and complain, and state the reasons for your marriage."

Just a short sentence, nothing else, but it made Yang Manyue see the clue.

If it wasn't urgent, or he had foreseen something, why did he send Qingyun to convey such a message to himself?

Emphasizing literature over martial arts, being an extremely human minister, he is always suspected.

Under the seemingly beautiful surface, there are turbulent waves, and every step is cautious.

Her heart felt a little warm, and that face couldn't help but appear in her mind.It seemed that something was about to come out, she didn't know, and she was a little worried because of it.

The discussion among the literati is still going on, whether it is a little different from that of Ming Dynasty.Especially in the Jiangnan region, criticizing the current maladies and literati discussing politics is a sign of progress.

These literati are also quite good at this.Because the drinks in Yang's small shop are delicious, very unique, and clean and tidy, this small roadside stall has also become a new place for literati to meet friends.

Good business is naturally a joy, but with the discussion of these people, her understanding of the world became clearer, and her heart became more and more uneasy.

Although the Ming Dynasty in the other world did not fall in 1644, the situation is not optimistic.

There is the old enemy Dajin in the north, Japanese pirates in the east, and even the southern tip is not in An Province, and the chieftains rebel from time to time.It is also a little peace in the south of Sichuan.

But Leng Yun, who is so good at fighting, was transferred to Ningbo to guard the sea.Among these enemies, the Japanese pirates are actually the least harmful.After all, it was not the behavior of the Japanese government, but the private behavior of some wandering samurai.

Moreover, the weather has been favorable in recent years, and the government is benevolent, so ordinary people are unwilling to follow the Japanese pirates to plunder their compatriots.In addition, there are some pirates, all of whom are red-haired ghosts, who dare not directly attack the mainland of Ming Dynasty. If they can't make a fortune, they can't pose a big threat.

She was thinking wildly, but a voice interrupted her thoughts, "I heard that you are here to process materials?"

Yang Manyue raised her head, her pupils shrank slightly.

The person who came first was a man about 35 years old.Wearing a bunt, the clothes on the chest are also opened, revealing a piece of strong muscles, tattoos are tattooed on the dark skin, and there are several scars on the face, followed by several people who are also carved on the body In the prime of life, it is obvious that the comer is not good.

He Daniu subconsciously put down his work and came forward to protect Yang Manyue.

Wang San is not on duty at night, and there are few people to take care of him. We should be more careful when facing such a person.

Yang Manyue gave He Daniu a look of "Be safe and don't be impatient", raised a smiling face, nodded and said: "Yes, this small shop processes incoming materials, as long as the owner can cook dishes."

After a pause, he bowed politely and asked, "I wonder what this guest officer is going to do?"

Several literati who came here frowned slightly, because they took the little lady's father as one of their own, and the saying "humanity is an article" spread throughout the entire Ningbo mansion in these short days.

Therefore, seeing that these people were not kind, they instinctively wanted to speak out.

But after opening my mouth a few times, I found that I couldn't say anything. Just asking and answering this question is completely reasonable, even if I know the other party has bad intentions, so what?

So I had to press my temper and continue to observe.

"boom!"

The strong man took out a bag of things and threw it on the roof very rudely, and let out a strange laugh, "I heard that there is a cook with a good skill in Chaiqiao Town recently, and our fifth master Liu is also good at food. There is one here." You can take it and do it."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves again, revealing the tattoos on his hands, and said in a deep voice, "Our fifth master will reward you if you do a good job, but if you can't do it well, hey..."

"No reason!"

A literati couldn't stand it anymore, "If you can't do it, you can't do it. Why threaten people? What kind of thing is Liu Wu, but he is just a rascal in the market, and he dares to call him a master?"

The brawny man glanced at the literati, and said with a gloomy face: "Oh... who am I, I am the son of the Ma family. Hey, how dare you stand up for someone here when you are down and out? What? Miss? Tsk tsk, just like you, even a toad wants to eat swan meat..."

"presumptuous!"

That Mr. Ma blushed with anger, pointed at the man and said: "You bastard, you are so rude! I am a dignified scholar, heir to a family of poems and books, how can I have such dirty thoughts..."

"Tsk..."

The man licked his lips and laughed loudly at his younger brothers, "Grandpa took the imperial examination, my father took the imperial examination, and Guizi also failed the imperial examination, but he couldn't even pass the child's birth test. He is not a scholar, what a heir to a family of poets and books!"

That's the end of it, it's like scolding all the ancestors.That Mr. Ma was so angry that his body trembled, his eyes rolled, and he was about to twitch.

Budi Xiucai originated in the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, as long as you have taken the primary examination, you can call yourself a scholar regardless of whether you pass or fail.Ever since, not being a scholar has become the most serious word to insult scholars.

This man scolded him that his grandparents and grandchildren were all inferior talents, which is not to say that they are not vicious.

Yang Manyue lowered her eyes, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The visitor's intentions were so obvious, they were clearly here to make trouble.Thinking about the moment Leng Yun left, this person came to the door, and I don't know how many days he has been holding back secretly. This is because he came here at the right time to seek bad luck.

who can that be?

Ye Qi's face floated into his mind, and there was a coldness in his eyes.

Thieves don't die!

Gotta give this old thing some color and see!
Thinking of this, she suppressed the sneer at the corner of her mouth, looked up brilliantly, gave Mr. Ma a grateful look, and said, "Don't be angry, uncle. Man Yue will cook for you."

"Little lady, the visitor is not kind!"

Mr. Ma said with an angry face: "They are the rascals in this town, so they dare not get involved."

Yang Manyue smiled and unwrapped the bag, looked down, her eyes became colder.

snort!
Sure enough, it's here to mess things up!

Several literati couldn't help it anymore when they saw the contents inside, and they all cursed, "It's unreasonable! Isn't it deliberately making things difficult for using such useless things?"

But the man laughed calmly and said: "I heard that the cooking skills of Yang's small shop are very courageous, and the small miscellaneous fish in the river pond can also cook good taste. My fifth master is quite admirable after hearing that." It is a pity to see that the fish scales are full and Man Jingying is thrown away, and I am specially ordered to ask for advice."

"What a tricky Liu Wu! It's clearly the craftsmanship of the jealous lady Yang!"

"That's right! Doesn't Liu Wu also open a restaurant? What a rascal! My little lady Yang is doing business for the poor, so she can't win Liu Wu's business no matter what. This is obviously making things difficult!"

"Yo……"

The man laughed strangely again, "Are you poor people too?"

Several literati suffocated, they are certainly not poor people.Although they have no fame, those who can read books these days and have a leisurely chat over wine are all from good families, how can they be poor?

"in this case……"

Young Master Ma grimaced, "Are you here on purpose to seek trouble?"

"How did Mr. Ma talk?"

The man showed a sullen expression, "We are here to ask for advice, so don't provoke us. Isn't it common for peers to learn from each other?"

"Just fart!"

A literati couldn't help but swear, "The technique has never been passed on to the outside world, how can you learn from it at will? Besides, you brought some fish scales. Is this a sincere exchange? This is asking for trouble!"

"Yes, yes!"

A group of literati are angry, but after all, they are a group of frail scholars, their families are well-to-do, they have no power, no power, no power, even if they are cursing, they are not the opponents of these rascals.

As soon as others became aggressive, their momentum became a little sluggish.

Yang Manyue took all of this into consideration, took those fish scales, and said with a smile, "Did Fifth Lord Liu ask me for advice? Presumably he is also a man of influence in Chaiqiao Town, so everyone thinks highly of me, Yang Manyue, and I, Yang Manyue, can't I don’t know how to cook, so I’m going to cook, and I invite all the sons and fathers of Xiangzi to be witnesses, Yang Manyue agreed to discuss!"
