Reborn Nongmen Merchant Concubine

Chapter 362 Seeking Proof

No matter what it is, it will only be good for the Ling family, and of course, there are also disadvantages.The Ling family has been a scholarly family for generations, and if they absorb too much money, some jealous people will be detrimental to the Ling family.

What Ling Xiaotian didn't know was that on the surface, Ling Xiaoyu was only doing business for the Ling family's livelihood. In fact, he was doing business for the country to earn high profits to fill the bottomed-out treasury.

As soon as the dishes were served, Ling Guocheng and his youngest son Xiaoyu also came to the dining room. Li Tian gave up the main seat to Ling Guocheng, and he himself sat under him.

"Master Xiang, the dishes are ready!"

"Well, Mr. Li, thank you for your hard work, let's all have dinner! There is still something to do tomorrow, so go back and have a good rest after dinner."

The ancients paid attention to not talking when eating, and not talking when sleeping.Apart from the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding on the table, there is the sound of chewing.Maybe it's because they were on the way and didn't have a good meal, or maybe Li Tian cooked meals that they hadn't eaten before. Not only did they taste good, but the appearance also aroused their appetite. Eighteen dishes, one thick soup and one clear soup.

Although the portion of each dish is not very large, less than ten of them can eat all the dishes on the plate for a total of [-] dishes.

"Hi, um, Uncle Li, I haven't seen you for a while, it seems that your old cooking skills have improved?"

Ling Xiaoyu rubbed his stomach, um, for more than a year, he had been dealing with affairs in Daewoo Kingdom, and he ate casually, and the people there ate casually, a little It doesn't pay attention to delicacy and deliciousness.It seems that the food is cooked and edible, and it looks delicious.

Therefore, after Yue Fulou opened in Dayu Kingdom, except after closing at night, no matter what time of day it was, the restaurant was full.

"The second son was joking. The old man's success today is due to the second son meeting a capable person like Miss Meng."

Ling Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows: "Of course, as a senior foodie, I don't even have this ability, how can I dare to support the foodie? However, the girl's cooking is really, not ordinary delicious , I don’t know who she learned this cooking from at a young age.”

"You can't stop your mouth when you're full? Mr. Li, thank you for your hospitality today, and I have to trouble you to cook for us yourself."

"Master Zuo, regardless of my previous identity, I am now just a chef under the second son, you don't have to be so cautious! Besides, I am a cook. When a distinguished guest comes, do I have to personally cook for you? What's the point of cooking?"

"Uncle Li, the food you cook is so delicious, don't you worry that I will stay here?"

Li Tian laughed: "Young Master, you are saying that the old man's cooking is delicious. When you go to Meng's house to propose marriage tomorrow, Miss Meng will definitely cook and entertain you. By then, you will have eaten authentic dishes. I I think you are the ones who don’t want to leave the dream house.”

Zhu Zhu picked out the fishbone, and then fed the fish meat into the daughter's small mouth: "Uncle Li, look at what you said, you are the imperial cook. Even if Miss Meng is a good cook, she has learned it. She is just now. Ten years old, cooking is all about practice."

"The eldest young lady doesn't know that the dishes that Miss Meng knows, I have never seen any of them, and the dishes that Miss Meng cooks, even if the old man tastes them, I can't make them taste like that."

"Sister-in-law, there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. Meng Yuan is a little younger, but the things she does are not trivial. You are a daughter raised in a deep boudoir, so naturally you don't know how poor people live! "

"Her uncle, sister-in-law, I don't like to hear what you say. It's not up to us to decide whether to be born in a poor family or a rich family, and my sister-in-law has never been in touch with this, so I won't be clear about it!"

"Zhu'er, don't say a few words, let's talk after feeding the girl!" Ling Xiaotian felt uncomfortable seeing his favorite wife choking with his beloved brother.

"Are you full? Let's leave when you're full, Mr. Li, let's drink a pot of good wine and chat?"

"That's a good relationship, ouch, I can't remember how long no one accompanied me to ask Mingyue about wine!"

After Ling Guocheng sent his wife, son and daughter-in-law away, he asked his servants to cook some side dishes for the two of them, and set up a stove beside them so that it would not be too cold.

"Master Xiang left the old man alone, so he must have something to ask the old man?" After drinking a glass of wine, Li Tian asked Ling Guocheng's question.

"Oh, you are indeed the royal chef who serves the emperor. His ability to observe words and demeanor is admirable! Yes, the truth is that I want to ask Mr. Li something, but I don't know if Mr. Li can tell the truth?"

Putting down his wine glass, Li Tian asked: "If the old man's guess is correct, Xiangye wants to ask about Miss Meng, right? If Xiangye can trust the old man, then listen to the old man's words: Miss Meng and Second Young Master are really the best couple." A perfect couple."

Ling Guocheng stared at Li Tian: "Old Li, you have been an imperial cook in the palace for most of your life, and I believe you are famous. As for the Meng family girl, to be honest, apart from her family background, no matter what Her personal self-cultivation is still her family, these are not a problem, but I heard from other places that the Meng family girl is not very good to her own grandparents, and she even returned a marriage, is there any This matter?"

"Snapped"

"Master Xiang, I don't know where you heard such slanderous things? Yes, Miss Meng is not good to her own grandparents, but there is a reason for this. In such a position, If it was on the old man's head, the old man might do something worse than Miss Meng!
If Mr. Xiang misunderstands or doesn’t understand Miss Meng because of the rumors he heard, you can go to Qiushui Village to find any villager and ask what is the relationship between Meng Zhai and Lao Zai over there. .

If you think it's too troublesome, of course, you can also ask Zhao Liang, the parent officer of Buyang Town, what is the reason here, Mr. Zhao is very clear about it! "

Zhao Liang: Can I not understand?He is the one who takes the lead in arresting people, and no one knows the ins and outs of the situation better than Meng Yuan herself!

"Mr. Li, don't be so excited. Master Ben is just asking casually. If you don't want to say it, then I will go to the county magistrate of Buyang Town tomorrow morning."

"Master Xiang, the old man hasn't drank for a long time, and this drink is a bit too much, so I'll go back to the room to rest first, and Lord Xiang, please go back to the room earlier to rest!"

Ling Guocheng heard the news about Meng Yuan by accident, but he didn't expect that such a situation would appear when he wanted to find out some news from Li Tian.

Forget it, tomorrow he will get up early to find the county magistrate of Buyang Town, and ask him what he doesn't know about.

Regarding Mengyuan's resignation and her quarrel with her own grandparents, from as small as Qiushui Village to as large as Buyang Town, everyone knows a little bit about it, but everyone adheres to the idea that it has nothing to do with themselves Attitude, I don't care that much.

"How? Did you ask? What's going on?"

Ling Guocheng shook his head: "I didn't ask, and judging by Mr. Li's attitude, it seems that the question I asked is very unfair to the Meng family girl. When I get up early tomorrow, I will go to the county magistrate to ask for clarification! Go to sleep and make a fuss." It's been a day, and there are still many things to do tomorrow!"

The whole family happily came over to be hired by the girl, but no one expected to hear the common people talking about Meng Yuan's deeds after tea and dinner after going to Buyang Town.

They can accept that Mengyuan is a child who grew up in the village, and they can also accept her as a businessman, but their Ling family can't accept a girl with a stain on her body as the daughter-in-law of the Ling family!
In ancient times, very few women who retired from marriage were able to remarry, let alone the first one like Meng Yuan who was bestowed a marriage by the emperor!

The next day, at dawn, Ling Guocheng recruited a servant who was sweeping the yard to take him to the county government office to find Zhao Liang. I have figured it out, if there is really something in it that I misunderstood, if my son finds out, he will have to chop his old bones with a knife!

"Knock knock, knock knock"

In the Zhao Mansion, the servants of the Li family brought Ling Guocheng to Zhao Liang's mansion and hurried back.

"Who is it? It's so early in the morning that you can't let people sleep?"

"This little brother, if I have something to meet with you, I would like to ask you to pass it on for me. Oh, tell Mr. Zhao, I'm from Fucheng!"

The doorman rubbed his sleepy eyes. Although he was not fully awake, it did not prevent him from seeing the luxurious fabrics on his body.

"Just wait, I'll go in and ask."

After Ling Guocheng stood outside the door for a quarter of an hour, the boy came back and opened the door to invite him in and led him all the way to a place similar to the living room.

"My lord, please wait a moment, my lord will be here in a while!" The servant took him to the living room, then turned around and asked the little maid to serve Ling Guocheng a cup of tea and a plate of snacks.

In his sleep, Zhao Liang wanted to get angry in bed or something, but after hearing that he was from Fucheng, he lost all sleepiness, so he hurriedly called someone in to change his clothes.

As a result, after a lot of tossing, I came to the living room and found that the person sitting in the living room was not recognized by me at all.

"Hmm, I heard from my boy that you are from Fucheng? I don't know what your name is?"

Ling Guocheng took a sip of the tea and put down the teacup: "This tea doesn't taste good, but it can moisten the throat. The old man's surname is Ling, and I came to disturb you today. It's because the old man has something very important to ask Mr. Zhao for proof, so he came early Some."

"Ask for proof? Your boss came all the way to my remote village just to ask for proof, so what does Master Ling want to ask for proof?"
