Xiaowan had already thought about it long ago, not lying easily because of the use of the storage ring. She wanted to solve all the problems herself, so she braced herself and went to the kitchen.

But it took longer than noon, and the food was less than noon, and there was no chicken to save a dish, and finally a plate of mahogany tofu and a pot of meat to go back to.

Ling Chaofeng was at a loss while looking at the two plates of food. Aunt Zhang raised his eyebrows, scooped a mouthful of rice up to the bottom, then dared to bring the food into his mouth.

For lunch, Aunt Zhang looked like she was hungry, but at night, the difference in taste between them was too. It was hard to imagine giving General Wei and the rest lunch like this … Just as she was about to ask Xiaowan what was going on, Ling Chaofeng grabbed her chopsticks and started eating silently.

Even though he only sent a few pieces of tofu with three or four mouthfuls of rice and two pieces of meat that could eat half a bowl, the shopkeeper had no choice but to silently eat the whole bowl of rice.

When said that she was full, she scooped up the food and stuffed it into her mouth. Just as she was about to stuff it into her mouth, she almost vomited. Three times?

Of course, it wasn't that the Xiaowan didn't know how to cook at all.

"Hubby …" Xiaowan looked at his husband who was walking upstairs and said guiltily, "How about I bring you some tea?"

"No tea. I'll go upstairs and write a letter. I'll be down shortly." Ling Chaofeng replied nicely.

At the bottom of the building, Aunt Zhang and Xiaowan had washed the dishes with water and ate them with difficulty.

The Xiaowan did not understand why Ling Chaofeng was able to eat all of the food so calmly. On the other hand, the Aunt Zhang was curious. Speaking of which, when the dishes were served at noon, she was very surprised that Xiaowan's culinary skills were so old.

"Grandson …"

"Aunt, I'll make breakfast tomorrow." Xiaowan calmed herself down and said, "I will do it."

For his own husband to eat such a horrible thing, Xiaowan felt extremely pained, and hated herself for not being able to do it. However, Ling Chaofeng did not complain at all. Her husband was so considerate, she was even more determined to learn how to cook.

As for Ling Chaofeng, he didn't blame the Xiaowan for her lack of culinary skills, he was only curious, did Wei Tengfei really eat such a thing in one bite?

The reason he could endure it was because he was in pain for the Xiaowan, but what about Wei Tengfei?

It was a good thing that Wei Tengfei was about to leave. As a general of Chuanyu, if he had nothing to do in the future, he wouldn't come to this small place again.

At the moment, what troubled Ling Chaofeng was that he had formed a feud with Meng Kun, if it was settled in the future, the old cunning fox might be dissatisfied and want to pester him and ask for more.

As she sat at the table thinking, Xiaowan brought in a cup of tea. Her timid look caused people to love him, and Ling Chaofeng laughed: "Next time, just put less salt, no one is born to cook, but no one dares to use such skills to entertain guests, don't try to be brave, just don't do business."

Xiaowan asked, "Hubby, then are you still going to eat the food I make?"

Ling Chaofeng laughed: "Eat, why aren't you eating?"

Seeing that the letter was empty, it had been a long time but the husband still did not say a word, Xiaowan asked with concern: "Is there something that you can't write down?"

Ling Chaofeng nodded his head, "I want to kick Meng Kun out, so that the tavern won't become tangled later on."

Xiaowan nodded her head repeatedly: "That kind of bad thing is not fit to be a parent official."

But Ling Chaofeng said: "What about Miss Meng, I know that Ershan is moved, and it is definitely not normal for Miss Meng to come and see him again, they have some feelings for each other, if it is Meng Kun who knows about it, he would use her own daughter to threaten us."

The Xiaowan also understood this: "It's easy for us to snatch the Miss Meng away, but if this were to spread, how would Ershan become an official in the future?

Hearing this, Ling Chaofeng was very pleased with Xiaowan's intelligence, but she should not have worried about it, and said: "Don't worry, I will think about it, what I should do is the best."

As a result, Ling Chaofeng only finished writing the letter in the middle of the night. Xiaowan had long fallen asleep, but when he felt his husband laying down, he sleepily crawled over and the two of them cuddled up with each other for an entire night.

The next day, the Xiaowan woke up early and made breakfast in the kitchen. Without using the Jade Ring s, she fried a plate of eggs and dried meat herself and cooked a pot of viscous millet porridge. It was simple yet decent.

Today was the final day of Imperial examinations. Xiaowan and her wife cleaned Ershan's room together, and took the bedding and basked it under the sun. After finishing their work, Aunt Zhang stuck her waist and said: "Just based on Ershan's current situation, wanting to marry a wife is not easy, but finding a little girl in the village is not difficult. If you want to marry a Prefect's daughter, even if Prefect Meng agrees, Ershan himself would definitely not dare. Everything that he has now is given by the inn. Could it be that the rear courtyard is just a small room for the bride to stay in? "

Xiaowan thought, with this much money, it would not be difficult for Ling Chaofeng to buy a plot of land. But it was just as Aunt Zhang had said, everything was given to him by the tavern, and Ershan himself did not have the ability to support a family.

Aunt Zhang sighed: "It depends on fate."

In the evening, Ling Chaofeng and Uncle Biao brought Ershan back. When Uncle Biao saw Aunt Zhang, she hugged and hugged him, making her embarrassed to the point of scolding him. On the other hand, Ershan went back to his room to put down his things, and changed back to the previous boy.

When the family finally got together, they had an early dinner discussion about how to arrange for the country exam in August.

The result of the Academy Competition was announced in the third month. If one could become an Elementary Scholar, August would be the time to participate in the hometown examination. This was how the commoners would be able to enter the imperial court and become nobles for generations to come.

Aunt Zhang said, "If your own parents knew that you were so promising, they would be extremely happy. Even after so many years, I wonder if they have been looking for you this whole time."

Ershan smiled faintly as he buried his head into his food. Aunt Zhang muttered, "That year, you were already six years old, how could you not remember your family members?"

"I don't remember that time, but I can't remember now." Ershan said, "The man's teeth were covering my eyes, I don't know how many times he walked, even if I knew, I was scared silly at that time."

The Aunt Zhang laughed, "That's right. When we first arrived, you were so skinny and small that you would shiver whenever you see people. You wanted to cry but didn't dare to, afraid that we would beat you. It's only after a few days that we understand that we are gradually getting better because we treat you well. "

Uncle Biao also recalled, "I was so young when I was young, now I have to take the High Scholar examination."

Xiaowan casually said, "Hubby, why don't you take the Imperial examinations? Are you sure you can't take it?"

Everyone laughed, Ling Chaofeng retorted: "I'm going to be an official, who wants to open an inn?"

After finishing their meal, everyone was tired, so they went to rest early. Xiaowan asked if the letter had been sent out yet, and Ling Chaofeng said: "I still decide to kick him out."

The person he wanted to kick out was undoubtedly the Prefect Meng, but Meng Kunlun was also not an easy person. Today, they were finally done with the Academy Competition and were able to catch their breath. The few officials had a round of drinks together before dispersing.

He staggered back to his residence, where his wife, concubine and children were waiting to welcome him. He swept his son, wife, grandson along with them and asked coldly: "Why are you not seeing Lian Yi?"

Mrs. Meng hurriedly said: "Her body is weak, he rested for a long time."

Meng Kun sneered, "His body is weak and the heavens are trying to run away."

The concubine at the side pouted and added fuel to the fire, "Master, when young lady is too old, she can't be left alone. Naturally, her heart is devoted to outsiders."

Although Mrs. Meng was angry, he did not dare to put on airs in front of his husband. He could only listen to a few complaints and watch his husband walk towards his concubine's yard.

She was unhappy so she came to the pavilion to find her daughter and ordered Lian Yi to pay respects to her father.

He had just walked under the door, when he heard his father speaking from inside: "Although that Yue Huaiyin didn't lie to me, but Ling Chaofeng's origins are even greater, but I don't believe that a strong dragon can't pressure a snake, under the influence of my Li Prefecture, can he still disobey me? "In the future, think of a way for me. I must treat him."

Lian Yi didn't know anything about Yue Huaiyin, but hearing so much nonsense talk about him, Lian Yi should not be surprised at all. As the shopkeeper of Ling Xiao Inn, she knew that if anything happened to Ling Xiao Inn, Ershan would definitely be implicated. In the end, it was because she had barged into the inn that caused the trouble in the future. The inn was filled with good people, and not only was there no one who blamed her, they had helped her everywhere, and even Ershan …

Lian Yi's heart felt warm, gratified and guilty. She was gratified that there were still people in this world who cared about her. Guilt … She wanted to go to the inn as soon as possible and tell them about this. She wanted to be on her guard against her father.

But just as she turned to leave, the inner aunt came out and loudly said, "Second Miss, why have you come to pay respects to the old master?"

She shouted loudly, and even said: "Master, what we said just now, I wonder if Lian Yi heard it."

A half drunk man walked over with the smell of alcohol. When he saw his daughter, he immediately lowered his head and said, "Evil creature, why are you not staying in the room to make me angry?"

Lian Yi said coldly, "Mother wants me to pay respects to father."

The Prefect Meng laughed coldly: "I'm afraid you wish for me to die quickly so that you can go out and hook up with the men."

Meng Lianyi's heart was cold. Why would she need to count on her father for anything?

Prefect Meng frowned and waved his hand: "Men, bring her back to the house for me to take care of. If you tell her to sneak out again, I'll skin you first."

He smiled coldly at his daughter, "Good daughter, just wait patiently at home. Your father will definitely find you a good home."

Meng Lianyi's heart was filled with fear, afraid that his father would 'sell' him out, afraid that no one would warn the Manager Ling, afraid that his father would cause chaos in the tavern. All of this was her fault.
