Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

It was the first time for Yan Qixing and Yan Zheng to grill meat like this. They cut the meat into slices and skewered them, and brushed them with seasonings while grilling. They had never heard of these seasonings. It was not their fault. Although they knew how to grill meat, they could not cook, and the only seasonings they knew were oil, salt and sugar.

They had never thought about cooking in the future, so they were not very curious about the seasonings. They just applied whatever Hua Murong taught them to apply, except for chili salt, as chili was irritating and they needed to avoid it.

It was the first time for them to eat such rich-flavored barbecue, and their eyes lit up as if they had opened the door to a new world. Upon learning that these seasonings were Xin Ye’s exclusive secret recipe, they tactfully did not ask any more questions.

They had all eaten hotpot before, so they didn't need Hua Murong to teach them. While they were eating barbecue and chatting happily, the kitchen sent over roast duck.

"Is this the roast duck that Brother Hua recommended?" Yan Qixing looked at the golden roasted duck meat cut into pieces, with layers of skin, meat and bones.

"Yes, this is roast duck." Hua Murong invited them to start eating.

It was the first time that Yan Zheng heard of the dish of roast duck. After Yan Qihong picked up his chopsticks, he followed suit. The roast duck was so fragrant that even the bones were flavored. If the bones were not hard, they would have wanted to chew them and swallow them into their stomachs.

The roast duck tasted amazing and was definitely worth his anticipation during this time.

After eating and drinking, Xin Ye and Yan Yiyi did not stay. They said they wanted to go shopping and see if there were any new seeds in the shops in the capital. After their eldest brother finished the imperial examination, they would set off back to their hometown to continue farming.

After the two left, Yan Zheng asked curiously, "Brother Hua, is Sister Yan still following her brother-in-law back to her hometown to farm?"

Yan Qixing looked at Hua Murong. He was also quite curious. Instead of letting her return to Shacheng to settle down, with the Hua family's wealth, wouldn't it be great to let her move to the county and not have to work in the fields?

Hua Murong met their gazes, understood what they meant, and smiled: "My sister has been interested in farming since she lost her memory. Along the way, the couple found a lot of fresh seeds, or seeds that they were interested in, and planned to return to the countryside for research.

After all, she is a married woman. Her brother-in-law's father is in the countryside, so she has to go back to take care of him. In addition, we have already had someone build a new farm for her in the countryside of Dashan Village, and have also arranged for servants to go there, so she won't have to work too hard."

Yan Qixing and Yan Zheng understood that everything had been arranged in Dashan Village. Yan Yiyi liked to live there, so they could only try their best to satisfy her.

Although they don’t understand why Yan Yiyi made this choice, who can blame her for liking country life?

"Also, I also plan to go to Liangguan County, preferably to serve as the magistrate of Guyang County." As Hua Murong spoke, she smiled with anticipation on her face.

Yan Zheng looked puzzled: "Brother Hua, you want to be sent out?" They were selected for the palace examination, no matter whether they could make it to the top three or not, they had already been confirmed to be officials in the court, but there was a difference in the career arrangements for the top three.

Hua Murong smiled calmly and said, "Yes, my parents hope that I can take care of my sister."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two brothers understood instantly. Well, they were talking about why the Hua family didn't force their only daughter to return to Sand City. It turned out that Hua's parents sent their eldest son to take care of her. With an older brother who is an official around, who would dare to bully her?

Yan Qixing: "Brother Hua, are you sure you can go to Guyang County?"

Hua Murong shook her head: "No, but we have to try. The current emperor is a wise emperor. In order to fill the stomachs of the people of Zhaoguo, he should agree to my small request."

Yan Qixing realized instantly that once the emperor did not agree to Hua Murong going to Guyang County as magistrate, the Li couple would not report to the court even if they discovered any high-yield grain in the future.

Yan Qixing: "This... Brother Hua, threatening the Emperor like this, aren't you afraid that the Emperor will bear a grudge against the Hua family?"

Hua Murong smiled and said, "Your Majesty is not such a petty person."

Mu Xiong pretended not to know and cooperated: "Murong's application for exile is reasonable and logical. Why does the emperor hate the Hua family?"

"That's right. We also want to apply for a transfer abroad. It doesn't matter where we go," said Zhongjing.

Fei Yuning: "We all want to do practical things for the people in the local area. Mu Rong only wants to go to Guyang County for his sister. The emperor is wise and should understand their friendly brother-sister relationship."

Yan Zheng glanced at him secretly and said nothing.

Yan Qixing: Haha, if you think he is easy to fool, the abacus beads will break on your face.

However, one has to admit that his demands are not high. If they want to stop them and detain him in the capital, this guy will probably resign and run to the mountain village to take care of his sister as the eldest son of the Hua family.

Alas... I thought I would have good friends around me and we could talk often, but it turns out that being an emperor is destined to be accompanied by loneliness.

"Brother Yan, Dashan Village is a good place, suitable for recuperation. Why don't you also go to Dashan Village to settle down for a while and let your brother-in-law take good care of you? How do you do that?"

Yan Qixing didn't expect Hua Murong to invite him to Dashan Village and take his illness to heart. For a moment, he felt warm in his heart.

He was right about the person. Hua Murong was someone worth making friends with.
