101 New Year’s Day

When the villagers saw it, they all had their own thoughts. They found out that the cost of spicy hot soup is not expensive, so some people gritted their teeth and paid for the materials to make it themselves. Some people were unwilling to pay so much money and worked together with other families. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jian Qingqing saw that there were so many people who wanted to do it, so she gave them some training and started to make spicy hot soup.

Not to mention, the overbearing aroma of spicy hotpot attracted many customers. Even if they were all gathered together to do it, the business would still be booming. It did not matter if people had money, everyone wanted to have a taste. Just smelling the aroma and eating black steamed buns on the side was fragrant.

This era was not like the modern era. People who did not have money would not eat on the street. Jian Qingqing let them sell spicy hotpot soup too. It was ten wen a bowl, and they could take it back and cook it themselves. This way, many people who did not want to eat here would also buy a bowl back in order to have a good new year.

!!

These days, the Jian Family villagers left early and returned late every day. Even if the weather was cold, they were not afraid. All of them earned enough money to fill their pockets.

These few days at the end of the year were the busiest. Jian Qingqing got up early every day to make new year food to eat. Fried sesame seeds, pastries, baked cookies, dragon beard candy, new year cakes, fried pine nuts, and so on. she also took some potatoes and sweet potatoes to make sweet potato jerky and french fries. She made a lot of them and took a portion to the store as a small gift for the customers who came to buy things. The rest was placed in woven bamboo baskets. Xiao Lang stared at that place every day and drooled.

Now that Xiao Hu and the others were all on vacation, they played crazily in the village every day. Recently, the sun had risen and the weather was not so cold. There was a pond in the village that let out water to catch fish. After those big fish were caught, it was the village children’s turn to go in and catch the small fish, Xiao Hu and the others went in to catch fish every day.

Xiao Ye loved cleanliness, so he did not participate. The most annoying thing was Xiao Lang. Every day, he rolled back with mud all over his body. Jian Niang was so angry that she chased after him all over the village with a mallet.

However, every time Xiao Lang rolled down the pond, he would bring back about ten catties of small fish. The kind that did not even have hard bones.

Jian Qingqing divided them into two ways. One was to fry them in a frying pan. After frying, she would sprinkle some salt on them and sprinkle some chili powder on them. They could be used as snacks or dishes.

The other way was to first dry them in an oven, then marinate them with onion, ginger, and garlic. Finally, they would be fried into spicy dried fish. This was also very delicious. The whole family could not stop eating it.

New Year’s Eve soon arrived. The family cooked a very rich dinner.

Old Man Jian sat at the main seat. His eyes were moist as he looked at the sumptuous dinner. He sobbed and said, “Who would have thought that last year, our family’s New Year’s Eve dinner was to eat chaff and swallow vegetables? It has only been a short year. Our family started a business and built a big brick house. There was meat on the dining table. All of this was thanks to Big Sister! Even if I die now, I still have the face to meet my ancestors!”

Jian Dalang immediately spat twice and disagreed, “Father, what are you saying during the New Year? It’s too unlucky.”

Mother Jian also said, “Father, your body is still so healthy. You’ll have a lot of fortune in the future!”

Old Man Jian also knew that he had said the wrong thing. He said guiltily, “At my age, I already have a long life. If I can enjoy the good fortune, then I won’t live in vain.”

Jian Qingqing picked up some food for him and comforted him, “Grandfather, this is just the beginning. Your grandchildren haven’t even grown up yet. You have to live a long life. You have to watch me earn a lot of money and watch Xiao Hu and Little Ye become famous officials. The real good fortune lies in the future.”

102 New Year’s Eve

Old Man Jian burst into laughter. Tears streamed down his face as he laughed, and he sighed. “I’ve had a good life, but I pity Erlang. He hasn’t had a good life since he was born. I couldn’t even afford to buy meat on the day he joined the army.”

Everyone’s hearts felt heavy at the mention of Erlang Jian, and Xiao Ye even began to cry silently.

Two years ago, Great Wei and the neighboring countries started a war. Every family had to recruit one male. The Jian Family had two males, and Old Man Jian did not want any of them to go. No matter how unwilling they were, one of them still had to go.

Old Man Jian asked them to draw lots, the last one to go was Jian Erlang. Xiao Ye was only three years old at the time, and he cried so hard that his heart was breaking. Less than half a year later, the news of Jian Erlang’s death came, and Xiao Ye’s mother could not bear the blow and followed him to her death. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Jian Qingqing helped Xiao Ye wipe away his tears. “Be good, Don’t cry anymore. Your father and mother will definitely be watching you from the sky. They will definitely feel sorry for you if you cry.”

Xiao Ye sobbed and asked, “Really? Can father and mother really see me?”

Jian Qingqing nodded seriously and said, “Of course. They love Xiao Ye so much. They will definitely be watching you to see if you have eaten, or if you have grown up properly, or if you have studied hard. They did not abandon you. They just changed to another form to protect you by your side. If you are sad, they will also be sad.”

Xiao Ye held back his tears, he said to the sky seriously, “Then I won’t cry anymore. I will grow up properly and live a good life. Father and mother must also live a good life.”

The cold moon shone in the courtyard. The candlelight cast the happy shadow of the whole family on the window.

In the most remote mountain col of Jian Family Village, there was a shabby and simple thatched cottage. The interior of the cottage was simple. There was only a wooden bed and a stool that lacked legs. However, there was a spiritual altar placed on the wall facing the door, the spiritual altar was filled with rows of seats.

An old woman was kneeling under the spiritual altar. The burning sandalwood incense and candles on the table shone on the old woman’s face. The old woman’s scarred face could be vaguely seen in the half-light and half-darkness. It was terrifying and strange.

The old woman’s hoarse voice sounded like sandpaper rubbing against each other. “Lin Clan, please bless that everything goes smoothly. Old Dog Song will be struck by lightning… He will die a horrible death!”

As she spoke, the old woman’s voice was filled with surging hatred. The scars on her face moved like ugly maggots.

…

On New Year’s Eve, Cairo City was brightly lit and the crowd was surging. The streets were filled with the joyful conversations of adults and the laughter of children.

Outside a slightly dim alley, a boy was picking up something with his head lowered. The moment he raised his head, his eyes seemed to have seen something, and his eyes lit up. He shouted excitedly to his parents who were standing at the side, “Father, mother! I saw someone who can fly!”

The parents did not take it seriously. The father patted the boy’s head, “What nonsense are you talking about? How can a person fly?”

The boy grumbled unhappily and persistently, “But I really saw it. It was a black person. With a whoosh, he flew over the wall.”

The boy’s parents were frightened by his serious tone. The two looked into the dark alley at the same time. There seemed to be nothing but a pair of eyes staring at them in the darkness.

The two shivered violently. They looked at each other and quickly left with the boy.

A group of men in black stood outside a hidden wall of a high gate. The leader of the men in black stood quietly, as if waiting for a certain moment to come.

Suddenly, a heavy banging sound came from the quiet Aalley. The man made a hand gesture and said in a low voice, “Follow the plan.”

103 Saving People

It was New Year’s Eve, and in a certain dungeon, the guards on duty relaxed quite a bit.

A guard lazily leaned against the wall and yawned, dragging his voice, he said, “Sigh, every household is drinking and eating during the new year. Only we are still bitterly guarding this door. That prefect must have been enjoying his pretty girls a long time ago. I don’t know what’s so good about guarding this lousy dungeon. No one dares to come in. Those bastards are locked up and can’t get out. I was even thinking of going to the Yihong Courtyard to look for Miss Yan’er.”

His words attracted the approval of many guards, “That’s right, that’s right. We’re the only ones who are unlucky. If we were to reincarnate as the son of the prefect, Hehe, our Lord is the local Emperor of Cairo City. At that time, not to mention Miss Yan’er, it wouldn’t be too much for us to have all the girls of the Yihong Courtyard serve us!”

The head guard came back from his patrol and saw that they had gathered together to talk. He frowned and said angrily, “What are you doing? All of you, be more serious!”

The guards were shocked and dispersed to return to their posts. The guard who had just spoken snorted disdainfully. What was there to be angry about?!

He continued to lean against the wall and nap while thinking about the girls of the Yihong Courtyard. Suddenly, he sniffed with all his strength. What was going on? Why was there such a fragrant smell in the dungeon?

Before he could figure it out, he had already fainted.

The guards at the side saw that he had fainted and were shocked. They wanted to go over to investigate, but before they could take a step forward, they had all collapsed.

Two men in black suddenly appeared at the dark entrance of the dungeon. The leader had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and there seemed to be unbreakable ice in his eyes.

He did not even look at the person lying on the ground and walked straight in.

There was a thick smell of mold and rot in the dungeon. The dried blood had covered the floor with a layer of black paste.

The man in black walked straight to the innermost torture chamber and raised his sword to cut open the lock.

A middle-aged man covered in wounds was locked in the torture chamber. He was hanging on the wall with two large iron chains through his shoulder blades. It was impossible to tell if he was dead or alive.

The leading man cut the iron chains and said coldly, “Take him away first.”

The man following behind immediately took the man and ran out quickly.

After the man left, the man glanced at the dungeon with disgust and threw a torch on the grass on the ground. In an instant, a raging fire rose up and quickly swallowed the wooden fence. The rotten wood started to burn one by one and the dungeon became a sea of fire. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The man strode away without looking back.

The singing and dancing in the prefect’s residence were peaceful. Song Yuancheng was lying on the couch drinking a little wine. A few maidservants dressed in cool clothes were lowering their heads and massaging his shoulders and legs. He glanced at the dancing girl and gave a strange laugh, his thick hands reached into the clothes of the maidservant who was massaging his legs.

He drank until his face was red. He burped with a foul-smelling wine and impatiently bit the neck of the maidservant. “Beauty… serve me well. I… Will take you as my concubine!”

He was drunk, and he was stuttering with his words.

The maid’s eyes flashed with surprise, and she approached him with a charming smile.

Just as the two were about to reach the last step, a flustered voice called out, “Sir! It’s bad! The dungeon in the manor is on fire!”

Hearing this, Song Yuancheng suddenly pushed away the naked beauty, stood up, and shouted angrily, “What did you say?!”

104 Fire

The servant who came to report again knelt down in fear and explained, “Sir, the ground and the dungeon are on fire. I’m trying to save them, but the fire is too big. It’s already too late.”

Hearing this, Song Yuancheng sobered up. He casually put on a coat and swung his sword at the servant who came to report. He angrily walked out, “Who did this?! I’ll never forgive him!”

The private dungeon in the prefect’s mansion was built under the front yard. It was used to lock up some disobedient people. Usually, there would be guards patrolling.

Now, the dungeon and the front yard were burning. The servants and servants were frantically splashing fire with water.

!!

Song Yuancheng looked at this scene with his eyes wide open. The front yard was his office. He had put many important things in it, but now, there was nothing.

Was this an accident or was it man-made?

Ads by Pubfuture

The housekeeper in the manor came late. He knelt at Song Yuancheng’s feet with his body trembling and said in a trembling voice, “Sir, I will do my best to save everyone.”

Song Yuancheng gave him a fierce kick and asked sinisterly, “What’s going on? Where did this fire come from?”

The housekeeper was kicked to the ground. He did not even dare to cry out in pain. He quickly knelt back down and said in panic, “This fire rose from the dungeon. When I found it, it had already burned into the yard above.”

Hearing this, Song Yuancheng turned around a few times in frustration. The fire had burned the courtyard in the front yard to the point that almost everything was burnt. The servants poured water on it back and forth like drops of water falling into the sea.

He was not a stupid and ignorant person who could become the prefect of a city. He understood the crux of the matter with a little thought.

The fire started in the dungeon. It could not be an accident because so many people were guarding the dungeon. Therefore, there was only one possibility. Someone wanted to save the people in the dungeon.

Recently, only one person was imprisoned in the dungeon. That person was his former advisor, Li Baode. Li Baode stole a very important letter from him and was imprisoned in the dungeon. He was already half-dead from torture, and he was still unwilling to reveal the whereabouts of the letter.

Now that the dungeon was on fire, it could only be the person who had saved him.

Who was it?

Ads by Pubfuture

Who was the mastermind behind Li Baode?

Those letters definitely could not fall into the hands of others. Otherwise, the lives of his nine clans might be lost. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He was thinking about the people who had a hostile relationship with him and had the ability to save people from his residence. One by one, he eliminated them and finally locked on to one person.

“Ming Zhiyan!”

He spoke in a sinister tone like a venomous snake staring at its prey.

Ming Zhiyan had caused him a lot of trouble during the past half a year that he had been here. First, some of the small clans that had sought refuge with him had been exterminated.

At first, he did not think much of it. If they died, so be it. After all, he had so many people. Losing one or two people was not a big deal, he just needed to let others take over.

However, he did not expect that more and more people would die. When he wanted to take back the resources in the hands of those people, he realized that they had all been killed by Ming Zhiyan’s people.

After losing so many people and resources, he felt that his prestige had been violated. Just as he was about to teach Ming Zhiyan a lesson, he realized that Shifeng County was completely out of his control. His hands could no longer be inserted, even the people he had sent to investigate had all been killed.

This made him extremely furious. He did not expect that bastard to dare to sneak into his residence to save people now.

When he thought of the things that Li Baode had stolen, he was furious and afraid. If that thing fell into Ming Zhiyan’s hands, his head would definitely be lost.

He did not expect that he had underestimated him in the past. If he had known earlier, he would have killed him before he reached Shifeng County!

105 Insult

At this moment, the women in the backyard rushed over. Madam Song glanced at the burned-out front yard and the butler kneeling at the side and asked solemnly, “What happened?”

Song Yuancheng said expressionlessly, “Ming Zhiyan did it.”

Madam Song was shocked and said angrily, “It was Ming Zhiyan who killed my son? Why isn’t he dead yet? How did you do it?”

Song Yuancheng glanced at her irritably and suppressed the resentment and dissatisfaction in his heart. He said, “Ming Zhiyan is the Emperor’s nephew. Is it that easy to kill him? If something were to happen to him, even your father would lose his head!”

Madam Song was the daughter of a high-ranking official whom he had asked to marry after high school. His father-in-law had contributed a lot to his later promotion. Now, even if he was the prefect of a city, his official position could not be compared to his father-in-law. Therefore, even if he had a lot of dissatisfaction with Madam Song, he tried his best to endure it.

Madam Song was shocked by his words. She had always been a woman of the rear residence. She had not thought too far ahead and only wanted to avenge her son. However, now that the meaning behind this was exposed by Song Yuancheng, she felt that she had lost face.

She could only throw a tantrum and say, “I don’t care! The person who killed my son must die! If you can’t get rid of him openly, can’t you just do it secretly? The Emperor has no evidence to prove that you killed him, so how could we be in trouble? You are also a prefect of a city, why can’t you even do something like this? How can you be so useless!”

Song Yuancheng clenched his fists. Sooner or later, when he killed her father, he would cut this old woman into pieces!

However, he could not do it now. He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing a few times to suppress the anger that was about to burst out of his heart. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a sincere and honest manner.

He smiled apologetically and said, “Madam, I understand. That bastard killed our precious son. How could I let him continue living in this world? However, all of this needs to be planned. Wait a little longer. I will definitely make him pay with his life for our son.”

Madam Song snorted in dissatisfaction.

At this time, Song Yuancheng’s daughter, Song Yunfeng, smiled and went forward to hold Madam Song’s arm. She said, “Mother, we have to believe in father. He will definitely avenge Third Brother.”

Song Yuancheng hurriedly nodded and said, “Yes, yes, Madam. Heng’er is my favorite son. How can I let him die in vain?”

Madam Song then slowly glanced at him and said, “I’ll give you another chance. Otherwise, I’ll write a letter to tell my father.”

Song Yuancheng said with a smile, “I’ll definitely kill him next time to avenge our son. Don’t worry, Madam!”

Madam Song snorted and turned to leave. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Song Yuancheng glanced at her back darkly and turned to look at Song Yunfeng who was standing at the side, deep in thought.

He pretended to smile gently and said, “Yunfeng, are you willing to avenge your Third Brother?”

Song Yunfeng smiled gently, she said, “Father, as a girl, I don’t have the ability to avenge my Third Brother. You are the father. You should be the one to do this. Moreover, Mother asked you to do it. If she knew that you asked me to go, she would not forgive you if something happened to me.”

This b*tch! Sooner or later, he would have to kill her with her b*tch mother!

He gritted his teeth, when he spoke again, he was already calm and collected. “Yunfeng, Father doesn’t want you to do anything, but aren’t you a little bored staying at home all the time? Do you want to go to Shifeng County to play with your little sister? I heard some scholars say that there are many new interesting things there.”

106 Rescued

Song Yunfeng pondered for a moment. She seemed to have thought of something and chuckled. “Alright, Father. I’ll go play with my friends after the Lantern Festival.”

There were indeed many fun things to do in Shifeng County, but what was even more fun was the county magistrate of Shifeng County. Her parents had a grudge against him, but she did not. When her Third Brother was still around, he had always looked down on her. It was good that he was dead. He was finally no longer an eyesore to her. Speaking of which, not only did she not have a grudge Ming Zhiyan, but she also had to thank him. When she thought of that peerlessly handsome youth, she giggled.

Song Yuancheng did not know why she agreed, but this was a good thing for him. He quickly agreed, “Okay, okay. When that time comes, Father will send someone to send you there. When that time comes, you have to communicate with Father more often. Father will miss you.”

Song Yunfeng said perfunctorily, “Of course, Father.”

!!

After saying that, she turned around and left, leaving Song Yuancheng alone on the spot.

Song Yuancheng clenched his fist and gave the butler a vicious kick. “Get up!”

The butler hurriedly got up and bowed respectfully. “Sir, do you have any orders?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Song Yuancheng ordered, “Call all the officials here. Tell them that an important criminal has escaped. I will have them search the entire city!” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At this time, the city gates had already been sealed. They were definitely still inside the city!

The butler nodded and bowed, “Yes, I will definitely give the order!”

…

The black-clothed man brought Li Baode out of the city through the tunnel without any obstruction. There were already carriages waiting outside.

The person leading the horse quickly took Li Baode and placed him onto the carriage. He asked, “Where’s Master? Why hasn’t he come out yet?”

The man in black replied, “Master is at the back. He asked me to come out first.”

After waiting for a while, he finally saw Ming Zhiyan, who had arrived late.

He got on the horse and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go.”

Ads by Pubfuture

The group of people quickly rode back to Shifeng County. The doctor was already waiting. Li Baode, who was riddled with injuries, was sent into the inner room. A few doctors went in and worked for a few hours. When they came out, the sky was already slightly bright.

Ming Zhiyan asked, “How is he?”

The doctor shook his head and said, “His injuries are too serious. His life is temporarily saved. It’s hard to say if he’ll be able to come back to life. Even if he can save his life, he might not be able to wake up.”

Ming Zhiyan nodded. “I’ll have to trouble you doctors to take care of him.”

The doctors nodded in unison. “That’s for sure.”

Ming Zhiyan went in to take a look. The wounds on Li Baode’s body had already been bandaged, leaving only his two eyes exposed.

He looked at the person lying on the bed with a heavy gaze.

Two days ago, he had received news that Li Baode had evidence of Song Yuancheng’s rebellion, but Song Yuancheng had found out, and locked him up in prison. He could not find out who had sent the news. After two days of deployment, he decided to rescue Li Baode tonight.

The evidence of Song Yuancheng’s rebellion was too important. It was enough to capture him in one fell swoop.

The previous embezzlement of disaster relief funds was actually just a list. If Song Yuancheng wanted to shirk it, it would be very easy. Therefore, if he wanted to bring him down, he still needed irrefutable evidence. He needed to make it impossible for him to turn the tables.

…

After the Lantern Festival, the weather gradually warmed up. The farmers who depended on the land for a living would have to start working for another year.

Before the villagers moved the soil, Jian Qingqing planned to go to the county town and ask Ming Zhiyan to go to the countryside to mobilize people. Otherwise, a nine-year-old girl like her would go to someone’s house and ask them to stop planting traditional crops and plant her high-yielding grain instead, it would be difficult. Even if they were from the same village, she would still be chased away, and they would think that she had mental problems.

107 Finding Fault

The Lantern Festival had passed, and the streets of the county town were no longer as popular as they had been during the New Year. However, there were still some signs of the New Year. The spring festival couplets on the door were bright red that had not been weathered by the wind and rain.

She followed the little wolf into the county office without any obstruction. When the officers saw her, they greeted her with a smile, “Miss Jian, Happy New Year!”

Jian Qingqing smiled and replied, “Happy New Year.”

Seeing Jian Qingqing arrive, Ming Zhiyan put down his pen and went up to her. He asked, “Miss Jian, what’s the matter?”

!!

Jian Qingqing smiled and asked, “Sir, don’t you think you’ve forgotten something?”

Ming Zhiyan looked at her in confusion. “Hmm?”

Jian Qingqing reminded him, “In a few days, we’ll start digging the land.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ming Zhiyan suddenly understood and explained, “I was thinking of going tomorrow, but I didn’t know Miss Jian was in such a hurry.”

“It’s good that you remember. The main thing is that many people have started to move the soil these few days. They’re afraid that if it’s too late, they’ll plant their own crops.”

After saying that, Jian Qingqing said her goodbyes. “Then I’ll wait for Lord Ming to come tomorrow. Goodbye, Lord Ming.”

“Miss Jian, wait a moment.”

Ming Zhiyan suddenly called out to her, Jian Qingqing turned around in confusion. “Lord Ming, is there anything else?”

Ming Zhiyan was a little hesitant. He said, “A few days ago, the Emperor sent an army to help Miss Jian grow high-yield grain. What does Miss Jian want to do with them?”

“Ah?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Jian Qingqing looked at him in a daze. Her mind seemed to be unable to process what he was saying. What did he mean? It should not be as simple as it seemed… right?

Ming Zhiyan explained again, “I told His Majesty about the high yield of grain. He was very happy and valued the high yield of grain, so he sent a team of 200 people to help.”

Jian Qingqing finally understood. She was a little speechless.

No way! Why did he send such a big army? If he sent an expert who knew how to grow grain, she would still be able to accept it, but a whole army? Could they help her farm?

She refused, “No, I don’t think so. If you arrange for them to work in the county office, I don’t the space for so many people to live. Feeding them is also a problem. Besides, with the officers and soldiers here, the villagers will feel uncomfortable.”

Ming Zhiyan said gently, “These are not problems. The county office can hire people to make meals for them. As for the accommodation, just let them come back and live here. They can do any kind of work. If Miss Jian needs anything, just tell them. If you don’t accept it, it might be hard to explain to His Majesty.”

Hearing this, Jian Qingqing could only helplessly say, “Alright then, ask them to change into casual clothes before they come. When the time comes, I will tell the villagers that they are the workers that I invited.”

Ming Zhiyan nodded in agreement.

After leaving the county office, Jian Qingqing planned to go to the food stall to arrange some work. Today was the first day of work after the new year, and there were many jobs that needed her to preside over.

Just as she arrived outside the food stall, she heard a shrill voice shouting from inside, “You bunch of lowlifes, do you know who I am! How dare you stop me! Be careful that I don’t lock you all up in jail!”

The shopkeeper Jian Qingqing invited replied in a neutral manner, “Miss, no matter who you are or what your status is, you have to make an appointment to come to our restaurant to eat hotpot. Today’s appointment is already full. If you want to eat, you can make an appointment for three days later.”

The girl was flustered and exasperated. “Let me tell you, this sister beside me is the daughter of the prefect of Cairo City! If you offend us, you will not be able to bear the consequences! Quickly invite us in!”

108 Argument

Jian Qingqing could not bear to listen any longer. She walked in calmly and shouted loudly, “I am the owner of Jian Food Shop. If the two ladies have anything to say to me, please let me know.”

After entering, she realized that the extremely arrogant girl was wearing a gorgeous red dress. There were many precious accessories on her head, as if everything she wore was valuable. Her eyes were always looking up.

Next to her was a girl wearing a crescent-shaped white dress. She only wore a plain pearl flower on her head, which was many times simpler than the red-dressed girl’s vulgar dress. She had an indifferent temperament. However, it also faintly revealed her arrogant attitude.

Seeing Jian Qingqing enter, the red-dressed girl looked at her arrogantly from the corner of her eyes, she said sarcastically, “Oh, so it’s the owner of this shabby shop. I thought it was that big shot. He actually dared to stop the young lady of the prefect’s family from entering for a meal. People from poor places are simply ignorant. They don’t even know that they have offended someone.”

!!

Jian Qingqing could not be bothered to argue with such an uncultured person. She sneered and said, “So what if she’s the young miss of the prefect’s family? So what if she has high status? The rules of my shop were like this. No matter who came, even if the prefect came personally, it wouldn’t change. If you’re not happy, go and report it to the authorities. See if the authorities are on your side or mine.”

“You!” The red-dressed woman could not win and was about to go up to the prefect.

At this moment, Song Yunfeng pulled her back and smiled apologetically at Jian Qingqing. She said, “I’m sorry, Boss. My friend is just a little anxious and wants to eat. She’s a little anxious and has no ill intentions. This is really our first time in Shifeng County. I heard that this restaurant is very famous for its food, so I thought of coming here to try it out. I have absolutely no intention of using my status to pressure others. If you really don’t want to make an exception, then forget it. We can come back in a few days. It’s just that when I came to Shifeng County, my father asked me to write a letter to tell him about the interesting things here. My father is very interested in the hot pot written by scholars. He asked me to come here at the first opportunity and then write a letter to tell him. In that case, I regret that I can only write a few days later.”

Jian Qingqing sneered. What did she mean by not using her identity to suppress her? Didn’t she just say that if she didn’t let them in, she would write a letter to her father? This official’s daughter was really hypocritical. It seemed that this girl’s father did not teach her well.

Although she had not met the prefect, Jian Qingqing’s first impression of him was not good.

She did not look like she was suppressed by power at all, she said indifferently, “Then do the young ladies want to make an appointment for three days later? The food in our food shop is not bad, but everyone has their own tastes. The young ladies can try to see if it suits your tastes then.”

The red-dressed woman saw that she was so stubborn and was about to say something fierce, but Song Yunfeng pulled her back and said with a faint smile, “Then it’s troublesome. Let’s make an appointment for three days later. Ling’er, let’s go first.”

Although she was smiling, Jian Qingqing let them see the viciousness in her eyes. She was not a kind person, and she was not afraid.

Jian Qingqing raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, “Aunt Zhang, register them. Then, ladies, you are welcome to come back and taste them three days later.”

Song Yunfeng smiled and pulled the woman in red away.

After leaving the shop, Song Yunfeng immediately shook off Liu Ling’er’s hand with a cold face.

Liu Ling’er was angry but did not dare to say anything. She fawned over her and asked, “Sister Yunfeng, why must we go there to eat? What good food can there be in this poor place? Moreover, that shabby restaurant looks so dirty…” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her words gradually quieted down under Song Yunfeng’s cold gaze.

109 Rejection

“I don’t want you to talk too much about what I do!”

Song Yunfeng left with the servant girl after saying this, leaving Liu Ling’er standing there with a face full of hatred.

Sitting in the carriage, Song Yunfeng recalled the way Jian Qingqing looked when she first saw her. She had actually arrived two days ago and had inquired about many things. She heard that Ming Zhiyan treated Jian Qingqing very differently. Not only did he teach her younger brother martial arts, but he also taught her a lot of things. That woman often went to the county office to look for Ming Zhiyan. She also heard that Jian Qingqing was doing business with the county office. Jian Qingqing provided many of the county office’s dishes.

After hearing about these things, Song Yunfeng became interested in this woman who Ming Zhiyan thought highly of. That was why she could not help but go over to take a look.

She had thought that it was some special woman who could win the favor of that unattainable heir-son lord. So it turned out that she was nothing more than a plain-looking girl. She was just a little girl. She was dark and thin.

There was nothing special about that shop. It was said that the food inside was very delicious, but who knew if it was because the people in this poor rural area had never eaten good food and bragged about it.

It seemed that there must be other reasons why Ming Zhiyan was special to her. Song Yunfeng thought about it thoughtfully. She knocked on the carriage and said, “Go to the county office.”

In the county office, the official knocked on the door when Ming Zhiyan was dealing with official documents. “Sir, a woman is here to see you.”

Ming Zhiyan did not even raise his head. “Report to the county magistrate.”

The official explained, “A woman is here to see you. I heard that she’s the daughter of the prefect.”

Actually, the official was a little nosy. The daughter of the prefect looked like a fairy. Lord Ming had not married yet. Now that the daughter of the prefect was here to see him, was something good about to happen?

Hearing this, Ming Zhiyan paused for a moment and said, “I’m not going to see her.”

“Ah… Oh…” The official was stunned for a moment before he reacted. “I’ll go and report back now.”

After the official left, Ming Zhiyan’s face turned completely cold.

“Wang Li.”

Wang Li suddenly appeared in the room. “I’m here.”

“What has Song Yuancheng’s daughter been doing these two days?”

Song Yunfeng had known from the moment she stepped into Shifeng County. However, he did not care about it. He just wanted to know what she was doing here.

Wang Li reported the situation of Song Yunfeng for the past two days. “She didn’t go out the day before yesterday. Yesterday, she sent someone to inquire about you. Those things are not secrets, so I didn’t stop her. This morning, she went to Miss Jian’s shop and even had an argument with Miss Jian. However, she didn’t eat anything good.”

Wang Li had just learned this news.

Ming Zhiyan said with a cold face, “Don’t let her get close to Miss Jian in the future. Also, use some tricks to get her to leave Shifeng County.”

After the official went out, he looked at Song Yunfeng apologetically. “I’m sorry, Miss Song. Our Lord is on official business and can’t see you.”

Song Yunfeng smiled gently. “It’s okay. Can I wait for him here?”

The officer was stunned for a moment. His Excellency did not ask her to wait here, but when his eyes met Miss Song’s smiling and gentle gaze, he subconsciously said, “Of course!”

Song Yunfeng said in surprise, “Then thank you, Officer!”

Only then did the officer realize what he had said and was a little annoyed. However, His Excellency did not that Miss Song could not wait here. It should be fine. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He said guiltily, “You’re welcome.”

He looked at Song Yunfeng with some pity. Sigh, such a good girl. It was a pity… He really did not know what kind of girl Lord Ming liked.

110 Negotiation

Song Yunfeng waited outside the county office for a long time, but no one came out. It was already past noon, and the officers who had gone to eat had all returned. She could not help but feel a little angry and ordered the servant girl, “Go, ask why Lord Ming is still not out.”

The servant girl went to ask the officer on duty, and in a moment, she came back nervously.

“Miss, that official means that the Lord has already left through the side door.”

“What!”

Song Yunfeng angrily clutched the handkerchief in her hand. It seemed like he was avoiding her. However, it did not matter. There was still a long way to go, and Ming Zhiyan would not be able to escape from her.

Thinking of his god-like handsome face, Song Yunfeng’s heart wavered.

In a good mood, she said, “Let’s go. Let’s go back first.”

The next day, Ming Zhiyan rode to the Jian Family Village. He and Jian Qingqing went to see the village chief first.

When the village chief saw them, he said in shock, “Aiya! Why is the county magistrate at my house!”

He hurriedly pushed the door open. “Come, come, come. Please come in! Wife, quickly boil a pot of tea and come over!”

The village chief’s house showed great surprise at Ming Zhiyan’s arrival.

The three of them sat on the stools. The village chief asked nervously, “County magistrate, Qingqing, why have you come to look for me? If I can help, I will definitely help!”

Ming Zhiyan glanced at Jian Qingqing and realized that she had no intention of speaking. He could only say, “Village Chief Jian, I really have something to say today. This matter concerns the future of the entire village.”

The village chief was stunned. was she giving them money? Last time, Jian Qingqing had said the same thing, and in the end, she brought them a medicinal herbs business.

Thinking of this possibility, he could not stop smiling. “Sure! I’ll agree to anything!”

Seeing that he was showing great cooperation, Ming Zhiyan also nodded with a smile. “Alright, then I’ll be straightforward. You should know that Miss Jian’s family grows quite a few new crops, right? What I want to say is that I hope that every family in the Jian Family Village can plant those crops.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The village chief still smiled and said, “That’s not a problem. We originally wanted to plant those fresh crops. I heard that there will be a lot of them.”

Ming Zhiyan looked at him quietly and said slowly, “What I mean is that the entire village will have to plant those crops.”

The smile on the village chief’s face suddenly stopped. He looked at Ming Zhiyan in a daze and then turned to look at Jian Qingqing. When he realized that they were not joking. He lowered his wrinkled face and did not say a word.

After a long while, he then let out a long sigh. “Sir, you know that we farmers rely on farming for a living. Our family depends on the small amount of harvest in the fields to survive. If you ask us to plant a few acres, it doesn’t matter. If you want us to replace all of our crops… The risk is too great!

“What if we can’t eat the things that we grow? What if we can’t grow them? Only Qingqing’s family has planted those things. We don’t know what the future will be like. If we can’t grow anything at all, won’t we be sending our entire village to hell?!”

Ming Zhiyahd waited for him to finish before saying, “I’ve thought about these things that you mentioned, and I’ve already come up with a solution. If you can’t grow these things, the government will bear the losses. When the time comes, we’ll supply you with the amount of grain per acre. If you manage to grow them, the government will also give you a fair price for all of them.”

This seemed to be a good idea, but there was no proof. The county magistrate seemed to be a good person now, but who knew how long he could stay in Shifeng County? What if he left midway? What if the county magistrate later refused to pay up?

The village chief was silent.
