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

Zhang Hui was a little worried. Those books were full of her brother's opinions. If someone bought them...

Zhang Ming knew her worries, so he comforted her: "Don't worry, Uncle Xu will keep the books for me for my father's sake."

Zhang Hui wanted to say something, but Chunxiang's voice came from outside the door.

"Zhang Hui."

Zhang Hui recognized Chunxiang's voice and hurried out of the house, and Tianming followed her out.

When Xiao Lengyue saw them coming out, she turned to look at Chunxiang and said, "Take him to redeem the books."

Chunxiang nodded and looked at Zhang Ming, "Let's go."

Zhang Ming wanted to refuse, but when he saw Xiao Lengyue's expression, he obediently followed Chunxiang away.

Seeing that he was so tactful, a smile flashed in Xiao Lengyue's eyes.

Zhang Hui watched her brother leave with Chunxiang, and quickly looked at Xiao Lengyue, "Sister Benefactor."

"Don't worry, this month's salary is an advance payment from the restaurant to you."

After Xiao Lengyue finished speaking, she walked straight in. Seeing that Zhang En was not there, she asked curiously, "Where is Zhang En?"

Zhang Hui: "En'er went out to look for his friends. He should be back soon."

Zhang Hui was still a little nervous when she saw Xiao Lengyue, but thinking of her job, she bowed to her and said, "Thank you, benefactor, for giving me a servant so that I can support my family."

"That's your own skill. It has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Lengyue saw that the house was almost tidied, and turned to look at Zhang Hui, "Is it tidied?"

Zhang Hui nodded quickly, "It's all packed, and we'll go to the restaurant tomorrow."

Xiao Lengyue is not a talkative person, but Zhang Hui is a little nervous and doesn't know what to say.

After she poured a cup of tea for Xiao Lengyue, she sat beside her obediently.

Xiao Lengyue looked at the tea in the cup and took a sip without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the tea tasted very fragrant.

"Did you do this yourself?"

Zhang Hui didn't expect Xiao Lengyue to taste it. She nodded and said with a smile: "This is the wild tea I picked in the mountains."

"Wild tea?"

Xiao Lengyue had drunk wild tea before, but the taste of wild tea was very astringent, and it was not like this at all.

Zhang Hui saw Xiao Lengyue's curiosity and explained, "Wild tea tastes a bit astringent, so after processing it, and adding the flavor of wild chrysanthemum, it becomes fragrant."

Xiao Lengyue nodded when she heard this, "No wonder I tasted a hint of chrysanthemum, and I thought I tasted it wrong."

The two chatted for a while, and then Chunxiang and Zhang Ming came back.

Looking at the books that Chunxiang and Zhang Ming brought back, Xiao Lengyue's eyes flashed with surprise, "So many?"

Zhang Hui nodded and said, "My second brother has loved reading since he was three years old. My father's income was not bad in his early years, so he would give him some pocket money every month.

Other children would buy candy as soon as they had money, but Ming'er would buy books."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

When Zhang Hui saw Chunxiang and the others had bought some vegetables, she quickly took the vegetables and started busying herself in the kitchen.

Chunxiang knew that Tianyi was around Xiao Lengyue, and seeing that the yard could be seen from the kitchen doors and windows, she went to help Zhang Hui.

Xiao Lengyue looked at the little boy in front of her and said with a smile: "Just say whatever you want to say. Why are you looking at me like that?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ming took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Lengyue and said, "Sister Benefactor, it shouldn't be a coincidence that you are here today, right?"

Xiao Lengyue shook her head, "No."

"So, do you want to be like those people and fund my education, and then..."

"Will you be loyal to me from now on and let me control you?"

Xiao Lengyue looked at Zhang Ming with amusement and spoke out his real thoughts.

Zhang Ming did not deny it, but looked at Xiao Lengyue, waiting for her answer.

Xiao Lengyue picked up the teacup, looked at him and said, "No need."

Zhang Ming didn't expect Xiao Lengyue to answer like this, but from her expression he knew that it was really unnecessary.

Zhang Ming didn't know what Xiao Lengyue was thinking. For others, it was quite difficult to meet a talented student.

What they like most is to sponsor those poor students and take them as their disciples. In this way, when they pass the exam, they will have an additional force.

But for Xiao Lengyue, it had no impact at all. They would all work for her anyway, so there was no need for her to spend money to help the students.

Seeing Xiao Lengyue put down the teacup, Zhang Ming quickly poured him a cup of tea.

Xiao Lengyue sat on a chair, looking at Zhang Hui and Chunxiang who were busy in the kitchen, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to find your grandmother and second uncle?"

Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, then shook his head after realizing what was happening, "I don't want to.

When they decided to abandon us, it was no longer the case.”

At this point, Zhang Mingwei paused and said, "Actually, it's good that they left us behind."

"Hmm?" Xiao Lengyue looked at Zhang Ming suspiciously.

"My second uncle was idle all day long, and my grandmother favored him, so he became arrogant and domineering.

If my father hadn't been suppressing us all these years, we wouldn't have been able to live a life of ease and comfort.

My grandmother always thought that my father looked down on my second uncle, so he favored him in everything. But she didn't know that if my father hadn't suppressed my second uncle, he would have ruined the family long ago.

Now that my father is gone, my grandmother can’t control my second uncle at all. They won’t have a good life if they follow him.”

Xiao Lengyue listened to Zhang Ming's analysis and nodded, "You are right.

Your grandmother has been sold by your second uncle and is serving tea and water to people in the restaurant."

Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, and after coming to his senses, he looked at Zhang Hui in the kitchen and said, "Please don't tell me about this, my benefactor."

"I had no intention of telling her."

Zhang Ming laughed when he heard this, but thinking of what Uncle Xu had just said, he looked at Xiao Lengyue and said, "Sister Benefactor, who are you and why are you helping us so much?"

Xiao Lengyue looked at the child in front of him with amusement, "Why do you think it's because of that?"

Zhang Ming shook his head. He couldn't think of anything. He had tried to inquire about the identity of the man in front of him, but couldn't find out anything.

But thinking of what Uncle Xu said, he looked at Xiao Lengyue, "Is Jin Man Lou yours?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "It's mine."

Zhang Ming asked curiously, "People say that the owner of Jin Man Lou is not a simple person. Are you a daughter of an official family?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded. "Since I got rid of the county magistrate, shouldn't you have guessed that my identity is not simple?"

Zhang Ming did not deny it, but he could not figure out why she helped them so much.

Seeing his worry, Xiao Lengyue said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you.

The last time I met you was purely accidental, and I introduced you to the restaurant staff because your sister learned to cook very quickly and has great cooking skills."
