The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Chapter 123 Attracted by the Scent

"Madam, what should we do with those three people?" Ergou pointed at the three officers who came to find him and asked.

"Let them work in the fields with you."

Ergou and Sanniu were stunned and looked at each other.

Although the three men were dressed in official uniforms, they had distinguished temperaments and were obviously not ordinary people. If they were asked to do farm work, I'm afraid they would not be willing to do it.

"Madam, this... they are government officials. If we ask them to do farm work, I'm afraid..." Ergou said hesitantly.

Lin Congyun glanced at him calmly, "Why? Do you think they shouldn't do farm work?"

Ergou shook his head quickly, "No, Ergou just felt that they were special and was afraid that they would not agree..."

"You won't agree?" Lin Congyun sneered, "You have to agree even if you don't want to. They don't have the final say here. I, an old woman, have the final say."

She looked at the three people in front of her, with a stern look in her eyes, "If they are unwilling to work, you will teach them a lesson and let them know who is the master here."

"Yes, ma'am, we understand." Ergou and Sanniu responded with their heads down.

"Go to work." Lin Congyun nodded, turned and walked towards the thatched hut.

Ergou and Sanniu responded and left with the three officers.

When I returned to the thatched hut, a faint smell of cooking smoke wafted into my nose, mixed with the fragrance of firewood and the aroma of food. It seemed that Zhang Liucui and Zeng Xiaoyu had already started making breakfast.

"Thank you both for your hard work!" Lin Congyun walked to the stove, looked at the two people who were busy, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Zhang Liucui looked up and saw Lin Congyun coming back, and said quickly, "Mom, you're here. Breakfast will be ready soon."

Zeng Xiaoyu also put down the firewood in her hand and walked over, "Mom, it's the sister-in-law who's working hard. I just helped out and didn't do much."

"We are all family, there is no need to talk about how hard it is or not," said Zhang Liucui with a smile.

Lin Congyun looked at the busy figures of Zhang Liucui and Zeng Xiaoyu and smiled.

Although these two daughters-in-law have different backgrounds and personalities, they get along very well with each other, which is what makes her most happy.

"Mom, the meal is ready, please sit down." Zhang Liucui brought the food to the table and asked Lin Congyun to sit down.

Lin Congyun nodded, walked to the table and sat down.

Zeng Xiaoyu also sat down and handed a bowl of hot porridge to Lin Congyun, "Mom, drink a bowl of porridge first to warm yourself up."

"Okay." Lin Congyun took the bowl, took a mouthful of porridge, and immediately felt a warm current flowing through his body, making him feel very comfortable.

"Mom, please try this dish. I just learned how to cook it." Zhang Liucui picked up a piece of dish with chopsticks and put it into Lin Congyun's bowl.

Lin Congyun took a bite and nodded in praise: "Not bad, it tastes very good."

"Then just eat more, mother." Zhang Liucui said with a smile.

"Mom, it's only after all these years that I realize how good my sister-in-law's cooking skills are!" Zeng Xiaoyu gave her a thumbs up.

At this moment, a tiger roar was heard outside the house.

Zhang Liucui and Zeng Xiaoyu were just about to wake up the children when they heard the tiger's roar and their faces turned pale.

They looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.

"Mom, it's...it's a tiger!" Zeng Xiaoyu said in a trembling voice.

Lin Congyun also heard the tiger's roar, but she was not panicked at all. She just said calmly: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."

After Zhang Liucui and the others moved into the thatched hut, Lin Congyun did not let Baihu come over, for fear that he would scare them. He wondered why Baihu was howling outside today?

Lin Congyun, who was about to go out to check the situation, was stopped by Zhang Liucui and Zeng Xiaoyu.

"Mom, don't go out."

"It's dangerous out there."

Lin Congyun looked at the two of them nervously and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you two will be fine. I raised that tiger, it won't hurt anyone."

"You...you raised it?" Zhang Liucui and Zeng Xiaoyu looked at Lin Congyun in surprise and said in disbelief.

Lin Congyun nodded, "Yes, it is very obedient and will not hurt anyone casually."

Zhang Liucui and Zeng Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still a little nervous.

Although they believed what Lin Congyun said, they couldn't help but feel scared when they thought that there was a ferocious tiger outside.

Lin Congyun asked the two of them to wake up the children for dinner, and also told them not to leave the yard.

After walking out of the yard, Lin Congyun looked at the white tiger. It was lying at the gate of the yard, staring ahead with its bright eyes.

"What's wrong?" Lin Congyun walked to Baihu and asked softly.

The white tiger turned around and saw Lin Congyun. A hint of intimacy flashed in his eyes. He growled as a response, then raised his head and looked towards a place not far away.

Lin Congyun followed its line of sight and saw that it was the officials and bandits standing there.

Walking forward, Lin Congyun looked at the group of people in front of him and frowned slightly.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Congyun's voice was not loud, but his aura was very majestic.

"Madam, we are here..." One of the officers was about to say something.

But he was interrupted by Ergou, "Madam, they...they came here by smelling the fragrance."

As soon as Ergou finished speaking, the officials and bandits lowered their heads.

They were indeed attracted by the smell of food coming from the thatched hut.

Although the place Lin Congyun arranged for them to live in had a place for cooking, they were all grown men and were lucky enough to be able to cook, so they didn't care about the color, aroma and taste.

But at this moment, the fragrance made them all swallow their saliva.

Therefore, the white tiger's roar just now was to prevent these people from getting too close to the thatched hut.

Lin Congyun wondered what had happened.

"Hurry up and get to work. I will make arrangements for those who perform well."

Lin Congyun's words shocked the officials and bandits.

"Madam, don't worry, we will do a good job!" Ergou was the first to express his opinion. He knew in his heart that if he wanted to be appreciated by Lin Congyun, he had to work hard.

Other officials and bandits also echoed.

After watching them leave, Lin Congyun also returned to the thatched hut.

Of course, Zhang Liucui would definitely not be asked to cook for them. At most, the food from the imperial kitchen could be shared among them.

The children also got up. Lin Congyun gave them some more instructions and then left and returned to the inn.

After a busy night, I was thinking about taking a nap when Wu Jinjie came over.

Wu Jinjie's face was full of anxiety. "Grandfather, it's not good. The martial law in Yong'an County is getting more and more serious."

When Lin Congyun heard this, his heart skipped a beat. "Tell me in detail, what's going on?"

Wu Jinjie sighed, "Since last night, not only have more soldiers been patrolling, but the city gates have also been guarded more tightly. Anyone entering or leaving the city has to go through a strict inspection."
