Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

Two seconds later, everyone started laughing and said happily, "Looks like we're going to have meat tonight."

"Yes, yes. Mrs. Song's cooking is not only delicious, but also contains a lot of meat dishes."

"It smells like meat."

Listening to what the women said, Mrs. Song smiled and began to look forward to dinner.

When Xiao Lengyue saw that the time was almost up, she put the potatoes in, added some salt, and simmered for another ten minutes before serving.

As night fell, Old Lady Song came back with a group of children. After preparing water for them to wash their hands, she began to take out bowls and chopsticks with the old woman.

After the child washed his hands, all the villagers came back.

Seeing this, Xiao Lengyue asked Leng Haoxuan to take the pot away, then changed to a big pot and started stir-frying the cabbage.

After a while, it was done.

After all the villagers were seated, the meals made by Xiao Lengyue were served on the table one after another.

Everyone looked at the chicken soup, braised pork, stir-fried cabbage, and a cold cucumber salad on the table, and their hearts began to beat.

Looking at Old Chen, his eyes were full of questions.

Old Chen felt everyone's gaze and rolled his eyes speechlessly, thinking, he was not a worm in Xiao Lengyue's stomach, so how could he know what she was thinking.

Xiao Lengyue didn't know what everyone was thinking. After washing her hands, she came back and saw that no one was eating. She was slightly stunned for a moment, "You don't want to eat? If you don't eat, it will get cold."

After hearing this, everyone started eating.

The next day, after Xiao Lengyue got up, she heard Old Lady Song say, "Xiaoyue, Ye'er said they are waiting for you at the house."

Xiao Lengyue nodded, washed up and went over.

When I got to the house, I saw a group of people waiting for me.

When Old Chen saw her coming, he introduced her: "Yue Baoer, this is Ding Jian, who used to work in the official kiln."

Xiao Lengyue understood and nodded, then took out the drawing he had drawn last night, handed it to him, and asked, "Take a look first, can you understand it?"

Ding Jian took it and put it on the table and started to read it. When he saw it, he was stunned.

He followed the steps drawn and walked through them in his mind, then asked curiously, "Mrs. Song, is this a heated kang?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "Yes."

"But the heat generated by one stove shouldn't be enough to spread to all the rooms, right?"

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she laughed and looked at Ding Jian with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

She nodded and said, "Yes, one stove cannot supply multiple rooms, so my idea is to just make a big bunk bed.

Or you can build the stove between the two rooms and let the generated heat go to the kangs in the two rooms.

But in this case, more firewood will be needed.”

Ding Jian nodded, "Yes."

After saying that, he thought about the structure of the house and pointed to a location, "This location is most suitable for a stove."

Seeing that he had chosen the same place as hers, Xiao Lengyue smiled and said, "When I came to see it yesterday, I also liked this place."

After that, Xiao Lengyue asked curiously: "Ding Jian, with your ability, you can have a good position in the official kiln, why were you exiled here?"

When Ding Jian heard this, he said bitterly, "Madam Song, once someone sets their sights on you, no matter if you are guilty or not, you will not be able to escape the trap set for you by those powerful people."

After he finished speaking, he sighed softly and looked up at Xiao Lengyue, "I'll go measure the dimensions first. After I finish drawing, please give me some advice, Madam."

After saying this, Ding Jian walked into the house, took out a wooden stick, and started measuring.

When Elder Chen saw Xiao Lengyue looking at Ding Jian, he said, “Ding Jian developed colored glaze in the official kiln.

His apprentice, who is now the boss of the official kiln, tricked him into handing over the recipe and then falsely accused him of stealing his recipe, which is how he was brought here."

Hearing this, Xiao Lengyue did not say anything, waiting for what Old Chen would say next. Sure enough, after a while, Old Chen said, "In order to get promoted, his apprentice presented the recipe to the prefect at that time.

The prefect presented the colored glaze to the late emperor. After seeing it, the late emperor not only rewarded him with gold and silver, but also promoted all the people involved by two levels.

His apprentice was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he framed him and exiled him here. "

After hearing this, Xiao Lengyue pondered for a while and looked at Old Chen, “Old Chen, when you have time, write down all the people who have been wronged.

If these people are truly innocent, I will clear their names in the future."

When Elder Chen heard this, his eyes instantly turned red. He nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Lengyue looked at Ding Jian's back and thought a lot for a moment.

These people are lucky to have met me, but I don’t know how many people in this world are left with no way to seek redress for their grievances or have died unjustly.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lengyue suddenly realized that if she wanted to clean up the court again, she had to go around and see the sufferings of the people first.

We also need to see how many grassroots officials are still sticking to their original aspirations and their conscience.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lengyue spoke up, she said in a cold voice: "Find someone to inquire about the officials in various places.

Don’t ask merchants or government officials, ask the common people instead.”

After hearing this, Old Chen was still curious about who Xiao Lengyue was talking to, when suddenly, a man in black appeared in front of him.

Looking at the token on the man in black, Old Chen was stunned.

It is rumored that the Golden Dragon Guards beside the emperor all have a token with two dragons entangled on it.

Seeing the token is like the emperor himself, but no one knows how strong the Golden Dragon Guard is or how many people are in it.

The man in black bowed and said, "Yes." After that, he disappeared from their sight.

When Old Chen saw this, he quickly looked at the people around him. Seeing that they hadn't noticed anything, he murmured, "He really came and went without a trace."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Mr. Chen, didn't you detect their aura?"

Elder Chen shook his head, "The martial arts of the Golden Dragon Guards are not something we can see through."

Xiao Lengyue didn't know much about the Golden Dragon Guards, so she asked curiously, "Mr. Chen, tell me, what are the Golden Dragon Guards like?"

When Elder Chen heard this, he coughed lightly and whispered, "Your Highness, if I'm wrong, please don't be angry."

Xiao Lengyue nodded to show that she was not angry, and then Old Chen said, "Rumor has it that the people of the Golden Dragon Guard practice different martial arts from us.

In addition to being highly skilled in martial arts, they must also have a strong ability to conceal their aura.

The most important thing is that once you become a Golden Dragon Guard, you can no longer have the thought of betrayal."

Hearing this, Xiao Lengyue asked curiously: "Why?"
