I traveled to a very nice farm, and I was so happy to fight evil with evil

Ji Songbai was very surprised.

"How could Lu Shao have a hand in this matter?"

Then the smile in his eyes became even more intense, "Then I was right about him."

The Ji family and the Lian family are the two largest families in Mayu County, and they also have the biggest rivalry.

But in recent years, their family has been suppressed by the Lian family.

Before they decided to take action against Magistrate Lu, their family was just waiting and watching, with a neutral attitude.

Now it's time to change.

After all, the Lian family's hands are getting longer and longer, and their family is almost reaching the limit of tolerance.

He now suddenly understood why Lu Shao, who had not been in contact with him for a long time, would give him a gift.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Lian Chunyi once wanted to plot against his sister, but was pressured by his family and driven out of the county town and back to the town.

Now, because of Lu Shao, he was directly deprived of the qualification to take the imperial examination.

I have to say, it's well deserved and very satisfying.

He continued to keep friends with Lu Shao.

Ji Zhepeng does not interfere with his son's friendships and believes in his son's judgment.

After all, this is the heir that their Ji family has focused on training.

He did not mention it again, but pointed at the small wooden box on the table and asked with a smile: "What is this?"

Ji Songbai also opened the small wooden box curiously.

The father and son reached out their hands at the same time, picked up a small tower and took a look at it.

Ji Songbai took it in his hand and played with it. "This thing is really exquisitely carved."

Ji Zhepeng observed it carefully with shining eyes, "The carving is really good."

He asked, “What is this?”

Ji Songbai said: "Lu Shao said this is mosquito coils. After lighting it at night, it can be used to repel and kill mosquitoes."

"I don't know what it tastes like, I'll try it."

As he spoke, he lit a small tower with a tinderbox.

Ji Zhepeng was very surprised, "There is such a fragrance?"

Although there are curtains in their room, sometimes one or two mosquitoes will accidentally let in, which is very annoying.

If this kind of fragrance can really repel mosquitoes, it would be a good thing.

Just as I was thinking about it, I smelled a faint and cool cedar scent.

He couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this really incense?"

Ji Songbai shook his head and said, "It's really not incense."

"But this scent is really special, light and cool. I like this cedar scent."

There is a "song" in his name, and he has always liked things related to pine trees.

"He said this kind of mosquito coil cannot be used as incense, after all, it is something that repels mosquitoes."

“Just order one in your room before going to bed at night.”

Ji Zhepeng held the small tower with eyes full of admiration, "That's a pity."

Ji Songbai said, "Dad, take some mosquito coils back and try them out tonight."

"I'll send a few more mosquito coils later so that my grandparents and my younger brothers and sisters can try them too."

Ji Zhepeng said, "Let me take you there."

Then he blew out the burning candle, placed the bamboo candle in the large wooden box and closed it.

He took out three small towers from the small wooden box, placed them on the table, and closed the lid.

Then he left with two wooden boxes.

Ji Songbai was confused, "Dad, what are you doing?"

Ji Zhepeng said: "I'm going back to my room!"

Ji Songbai reached out and grabbed the two wooden boxes. "This is a gift from my good friend."

Ji Zhepeng pulled it back with all his strength, "Just think of it as you honoring your father."

After saying that, he hurried away holding the two boxes.

It would be a waste to keep such an elegant bamboo candle for a son.

It would be better if he invited a few friends over and ordered it while eating and drinking, which would create an elegant atmosphere.

Ji Songbai was very upset when he saw his father's back disappearing with the wooden box in his arms.

He had originally planned to hold a small literary gathering at home in two days, inviting a few close classmates to come over and write poems, paint, and appreciate wax candles.

Who would have thought that his father would do this? He was really careless...

Changping Village.

Lu Shao and Qiao Ye didn't know yet that both families of County Magistrate Lu liked candles and mosquito coils very much.

Both continued to tinker with the candles.

Except for those who worked in the fields, even the children of the Lu family were helping to make mosquito coils.

Mrs. Lu and her companions went to the mountain several more times and cut a lot of elm branches.

Qiao Ye finally got the color combination of the orchid to his satisfaction.

Lu Shao came over with a carved chrysanthemum candle.

"Ma'am, do you think this is okay?"

Qiao Ye looked at his hand and saw several layers of yellow chrysanthemums blooming.

Each flower is different in size and shape, and looks lifelike, as if it were real.

She buried the thread of the chrysanthemum candle in the pistil.

It blends perfectly with the yellow wax, and if you don't tell me, you can't even tell it's a thread.

Her eyes sparkled as she said, "I'm satisfied. Your carving looks just like the real thing."

She pointed at the candle she had just made and said, "You can carve a few petals on this orchid as well."

Lu Shao smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

Next, Qiao Ye leaned on his hands and watched Lu Shao carve an orchid. The handsome man working hard was very pleasing to the eye.

After he finished carving, Qiao Ye took it and looked at it, and was very satisfied.

"Look among the Lu family's peers recently to see if there are any good carpenters and engravers. Train them well."

"In addition to candles, mid- to high-end mosquito coils also need to be carved, but if you do it by yourself, you will be too busy to do it."

Lu Shao had a similar idea, "Okay, I'll find time to teach them in the next few days."

He added: "After this month's work, I have to go back to school next month."

Qiao Ye nodded, "Studying is important, you really should go to school."

"By the way, do you want to transfer to the school in the county?"

The teaching by teachers in the county should be much better than that in town.

Lu Shao replied: "No, I am confident in passing the examinations for Tongsheng and Xiucai."

"Going to school is just to consolidate it."

"I want to show my father and stepmother that even if they send me to the countryside, I can still pass the exam and become a scholar, or even a juren."

"Also let the Lu family members decide how to bet in the future."

He still has to fight for this dignity.

Qiao Ye thought about it and it made sense. If the young husband studied in town, he would eventually pass the exam higher than Lu Zhoujin and the scumbag eunuch.

The family in the county town must be very angry and feel very uncomfortable.

They are happy when the other party is disgusted and angry.

She smiled and said, "I believe you."

He added: "Do whatever you want to do, and I support you."

Her husband supports her in everything she does.

Then she would naturally support him no matter what he did.

Lu Shao's eyes were more cheerful, "I will definitely live up to my wife's high expectations."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Just then, a fragrance wafted in from outside.

After hearing this, Lu Shao smiled and asked, "What delicious dishes did my wife make today?"

Qiao Ye replied: "I made braised pork before, and the aroma will be stewed out now."

"This dish goes well with rice. Eat more at night."

My husband looks a little thin and needs more nourishment.

Lu Shao liked to hear Qiao Ye talk about these homely things and show his concern for him.

His handsome face was full of smiles, "My lady, eat more too."

Since having a young wife, not only him, but the entire Lu family has become different.

Then Qiao Ye went to the kitchen.

The other people in the Lu family smelled the fragrance and became a little absent-minded in what they were doing.

I can't wait to eat.

They never knew before that meals could be so varied and so delicious.

I heard that Wulang's wife was cooking some braised pork, and I started drooling.

Sure enough, they were not disappointed.

At dinner, everyone looked at the braised pork on the table.

It is bright red in color, crystal clear, and exudes an enticing fragrance.

Put a piece of meat in your mouth, the rich soup wraps the soft meat.

It is fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, slightly sweet and soft, and melts in the mouth, with a delicious and rich taste dancing on the tip of your tongue.

The potatoes in the braised pork absorbed the soup and became plump and soft.

This tastes so good!

The people of the Lu family buried their heads in eating, taking a bite of meat and a bite of rice.

The smart ones even mixed the soup with rice and couldn't stop eating it.

Qiao Ye didn’t cook any other dishes today, just a big pot of braised pork.

The Lu family members were all satisfied after eating, with smiles that were full of aftertaste.

Old Mrs. Lu felt that her previous life had been lived in vain, and now she had hope in her life.

Just to eat a few more meals like this, she wanted to live a few more years.

While they were busy working on their meals and feeling happy, their neighbors next door were suffering.

Ever since Qiao Sanya entered the Lu family, all kinds of aromas would waft out at mealtime every day.

They were so greedy that they couldn't eat their own food at all.

Every day when I eat at the Lu family’s restaurant, I look forward to smelling the aroma I have never smelled before.

But I also feel that it is too torturous to only be able to smell it but not eat it.

I heard that Qiao Sanya also brought people from the old Lu family to make candles and mosquito coils to sell.

It seems that Qiao Sanya is really a lucky star.

If they had known earlier, they would have proposed a marriage for their grandson and married such a lucky girl into the family.

Not only can you make money, but you can also eat delicious food every day.

Regret!
