Without the big kang by the window, Chen Muqing was very uncomfortable.

After washing up, she hesitated for a while before she sat on the Grand Master's chair in the main hall.

Mingxia walked in with a smile: "Grandma Qi, I heard from the mothers of the Zheng family that they have bamboo beds here, so it's best to cool down. We might as well ask Manager Pang to buy one, so you can sleep more peacefully at night."

The autumn wind in Kyoto is cool when it blows on your body, but I didn’t expect that the autumn in Huding Prefecture is still very hot.

Chen Muqing was very interested when he heard this, and smiled and said "Okay".

Mingxia ran to Pang Debao to buy a bamboo bed.

Chen Muqing was wondering how to see Xiao Sa.

Before coming, she had inquired that the exiled officials would go to the county government or garrison every once in a while to report... But Xiao Sa had been to Yanzhou garrison for more than half a month, and he asked Pang Debao to bring 1,000 taels of silver that day, but there was no sound at all...

She is most afraid that Xiao Sa will not speak to her when encountering difficulties.

The county magistrate of Huding County is called Peng Lingxun. His political achievements are rated as "excellent" every year, but he has been in Huding County for twelve years and has not moved to the place. His background is conceivable. Because neither Chen Zhen nor Mr. Min, he was unable to find a way to get in touch with Peng Lingxun.

Or, just look for relationships in Huding County?

Chen Muqing was thinking, Ningbi hurriedly walked in: "Grandma Qi, Young Master Qi is back... and brought a few colleagues from Yanzhou Guard to make a table of good food and entertain you."

Chen Muqing was happy when he heard Xiao Sa come back, and was shocked when he heard him bringing his colleagues. He hurriedly asked Ningbi carefully: "Do you know who they are here? But did you bring your servant with you? Who is receiving it outside?"

Ningbi smiled and said, "Manager Pang and Sister Mingxia went out to buy bamboo beds. People rested in the flower hall, and Jin Liang served. They said that there were Lord Zheng from Yanzhou Guards, and the people were in charge of Lord Fang. Two generals, one surnamed Wang and the other surnamed Liu. Lord Zheng and Lord Fang each brought a servant, and Yinliang accompanied him in the wing room of the outer courtyard. Lord Wang and Lord Liu came alone."

Chen Muqing thought while listening. After Ningbi finished speaking, she had an idea in her mind: "Go and find Mom Wang."

Mother Wang is the one who invited Pang Debao from Zheng’s family to work on the stove.

Ningbi was slightly stunned and said, "Since it's the boss who is invited to the young master, you have to come up with something new. Why not let the laurel go to the stove? Her braised yellow wings are deeply rooted in Lin Jincai's true teachings. Not only is the juice strong, but it is also soft and smooth... It just so happens that some of the third grandmas have given them good shark fins. They must have never eaten them."

She came out of a poor environment. In recent years, she followed Chen Muqing to know what the real wealthy family eats and uses... So she thought of taking the shark fin that opened her eyes to entertain Xiao Sa's boss, so that they dare not look down on Xiao Sa in the future.

Chen Muqing didn't know Ningbi's thoughts - the two of them happened to think of blocks.

"The Zheng family acted like this for the young master, so they naturally knew that the young master wanted to establish his power in Yanzhou Wei. I am afraid that the mothers on the two stoves sent were extraordinary." She explained with a smile, "What is the rare thing about making famous Beijing dishes? If there is a stove who can make authentic Sichuan dishes, it will be a high-profile look!"

Ningbi immediately understood.

They came from Beijing, with abalone and shark fins. But if their family could buy a stove that could make authentic Sichuan cuisine for banquets in such a short time, the manpower and financial resources would be astonished by those people.

Thinking of this, she immediately went to invite the mother Wang with a smile.

Chen Muqing asked Wang's mother with a smile, "I don't know what my mother's specialty is?"

During this period, the people Chen Muqing brought herself were responsible for the food in the inner house. Wang's mother and another mother Qian only served as the food for the guards of the outer courtyard every day. She was worried these days, but she didn't expect that Chen Muqing would ask her what she was good at cooking.

She hurriedly said, "I can make abalone, shark fin, and deer antler, and I can make dumplings well. What do grandma want to eat?"

Chen Muqing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Unexpectedly, the Zheng family actually gave her a man who made Beijing cuisine.

But Wang's mother was a person who was observing her face. She smiled and said, "If grandma wants to eat Sichuan cuisine, I am good at it. Kung Pao chicken, boiled beef, and Mapo tofu are not a problem."

Chen Muqing was still a little worried and emphasized the importance of this matter: "The young master's boss came to his house for dinner..."

When Wang heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I was also in charge of the errands on the stove when the guests came in the flower hall... You can leave it to me with confidence!"

Chen Muqing nodded, and after Mama Wang left, he thought about it and called Yue Gui: "You go to the stove to watch. If it doesn't work, you can prepare some abalone and other things to deliver it - it doesn't taste good, it's expensive at least."

The laurel left in response.

Chen Muqing asked Ningbi to take out the Jinhua wine brought from Beijing: "... Let them choose themselves, and drink which one they like!"

Ningbi listened to the order to prepare a banquet, and Chen Muqing asked the little maid to call Jin Liang in: "You can treat a few followers well, don't neglect."

Jin Liangzheng was worried that Pang Debao was not here, afraid that his grandmother would not know the importance of these followers. Now that Chen Muqing said these words, he naturally responded happily.

Chen Muqing took about five taels of silver from his purse to Jin Liang: "Reward to those entourages."

Jin Liang continued to go with a smile on his face.

Chen Muqing went from Jiaxiang to a small ear room next to the flower hall and poked the paper on the inner fan to peep.

Xiao Sa was a little darker and stronger when she parted with her. But her eyes were bright, her manners were upright, and she had a confident style that stood out from the crowd.

He was talking to a thin man in his thirties beside him: "...What Mr. Zheng said makes sense. Although Huding County is located in a remote area, its folk customs are simple and it is a good place!"

A strong and 40-year-old man opposite Xiao Sa burst into laughter when he heard this. He said to the thin man called "Master Zheng": "I first heard that he was exiled to us by the top martial arts scholar, and I was worried that he was a difficult person to get along with. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiao was not only full of knowledge, but also a generous person... He was extremely tempted to me - before I saw my wife, I invited us to visit our house first."

"Mr. Fang is right." Two other men in their thirties smiled, "We ran over like this rashly, and it's really embarrassing to say it!"

"The inner man is a very virtuous person." Xiao Sa smiled, "If a few adults look down on me, Xiao Sa, just come in the future."

Four of them laughed after saying a few words.

Ningbi came in and bowed and saluted: "Young master, the wine and food are ready. Look, where is the best place?"

Lord Zheng and his wife looked at Ningbi with his eyes. When Xiao Sa asked Lord Zheng, "How is the wine and food in the flower hall?", Lord Zheng and his wife sat upright and nodded in response.

Chen Muqing frowned when he looked at it.

Ningbi's appearance among her maids is not the best... I didn't expect it to attract the covetousness of these people. It seems that it's better to let Ningbi show up less in the future. Xiao Sa doesn't have the ability to protect the people around him now... But at this time, the replacement will probably attract a few more attention again...

She thought that Ningbi had already brought the little maid to arrange wine and food.

Lord Zheng and his friends opened their eyes wide when they saw the crystal clear red oil ear pieces in the sweet white porcelain plate.

Xiao Sa was also a little surprised, but he remained silent and pointed to the two bottles beside him and asked Master Zheng: "Would you drink Jinhua wine? Or should you drink Jiannan Shaochun from our Sichuan?"

Lord Zheng sat upright, showing some reserve, and looked at Lord Fang: "Or what if we can drink Jinhua wine?"

Lord Fang nodded repeatedly: "Of course I listened to Lord Zheng!"

After hearing this, Ningbi hurriedly poured Jinhua wine for you.

During the meal, Lord Fang asked Ningbi: "Is that your concubine?"

Xiao Sa smiled and said, "Where is the personal maid of the insider."

Lord Fang nodded, but President Liu smiled and said, "The close-fitting maids are so beautiful, my sister-in-law is probably the same as a god!"

Xiao Sa nodded with a smile.

Then Lord Zheng scolded Mr. Liu: "They came from Beijing, not like us... I don't talk nonsense."

When Liu Bashang heard this, he used the drunkenness to put Xiao Sa on his shoulder: "Brother Xiao's inner fellow is my younger brother and sister. When my uncle meets his younger brother and sister, how can he have so many rules?"

Lord Fang laughed as he heard this.

Lord Zheng laughed a few times when he saw him, and turned to talk to Xiao Sa about other things: "Our garrison and county government office are not in trouble... If someone causes trouble for you in the future, you don't have to pay attention. Just tell me."

Xiao Sa hurriedly thanked Lord Zheng.

Seeing that they had almost eaten, Chen Muqing turned around and returned to the house. He happened to meet Mingxia who came back from going out with Pang Debao to buy a bamboo bed.

She hurriedly saluted Chen Muqing and said, "I heard that the young master's boss is coming, so General Pang is rushing to send his entourage."

Chen Muqing just smiled and asked her how she bought the bamboo bed.

This was the first time Mingxia saw this thing when she was so old. She excitedly pulled Chen Muqing to take a look--the bamboo bed was carried to clean by a thick mother.

As soon as the two of them got off Taiji, Pang Debao walked in quickly.

Chen Muqing thought something had happened and went up to meet him.

But Pang Debao stopped in the middle of the yard and looked at Chen Muqing with a smile.

Chen Muqing was stunned by the strange expression.

"Grandma, Lord Zheng will leave later. Do you want to send something?"

"That's natural." Chen Muqing said, "I'm going to give every adult a bag of scallops."

After hearing this, Pang Debao smiled slightly: "I'm relieved to leave the family matters to you!"

*******

In the evening, Chen Muqing said this to Xiao Sa: "He wouldn't have left the matter with his hands, right?"

"No," Xiao Sa smiled, "He is a person who can't let go, otherwise why should he work hard to follow me like this?"

Chen Muqing nodded and pondered: "Did you get married?"

"What? Do you want to be a matchmaker for him!" Xiao Sa jokingly.

Chen Muqing slapped Xiao Sa's arm coquettishly: "What? I want to keep him for you. See what he needs the most."

"No need!" Xiao Sa sighed, "He is very filial to his mother. Since the death of Old Lady Pang, he has no longer cared about it!"

As the two were talking, Mingxia walked in with a blushing face: "Grandma, the hot water in the kitchen is ready!"
