The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

Chapter 69: Yuwen's Cousin

After the autumn harvest, farmers began to have some free time. Once they had some free time, they started gossiping. For example, the Cheng family had become the subject of gossip.

"Have you heard? The cousin named Zheng from the Cheng family has returned to the capital. Even Cheng Zhiwen and the others have gone to the capital!" said an aunt of the same generation as Old Lady Cheng.

"That's nothing! I know that the three brothers of the Cheng family have passed the provincial examinations. What's so strange about them going to the capital to prepare for the palace examination?" Tian Xiaocao said under a tree with her little granddaughter, while cracking melon seeds.

"Hey, how did you know?" asked an aunt.

"My sister Mu Qiu told me! And Zhiwen and the others didn't stay in Lord Zheng's house when they went to the capital. They lived in the house that the Zhao family gave to the old lady of the Zhao family!" Tian Xiaocao was so proud. It was Old Lady Cheng who told her personally.

Cheng Yu thought that it was better to guide than to block. A lot of things happened in the Cheng family during this period, so naturally he had to give everyone something to talk about.

But which direction the wind blows, that's up to the Cheng family! Tian Xiaocao is the best candidate, she's talkative but kind-hearted, and she's also a good sister to Old Lady Cheng.

"Besides, do you know? My three brothers are very promising. With the recommendation of Lord Zheng, they have passed the examination and are now studying in the Imperial College. Their future is limitless!" Tian Xiaocao kept talking.

Everyone couldn't help but praise Cheng Yiyu and his two brothers, and then started to discuss their marriage plans!

"Hey, stop talking. Cheng Shang is also an official. How can you talk about his family? Go away!" Seeing that the few people were talking more and more excitedly, the village chief's wife immediately interrupted them.

Their family's Tiesong had repeatedly warned them not to offend the Cheng family. Even if the agricultural official was a sinecure, he was still a ninth-rank official.

"Hey, who is this? Why is your village chief's family accepting gifts? And they are even speaking for the Cheng family!" said Liu Ping (the fourth daughter-in-law of the old Cheng family).

She was the one who started the discussion this time, but in the end no one said anything bad about the Cheng family. What made her angry was that some people even praised the Cheng family!

Since the breakup, Cheng Tielin's family has been living more and more comfortably, but they are getting worse and worse, with their income unable to make ends meet.

It’s all the Cheng family’s fault, otherwise my sister (Liu Hua) and her family would not have been exiled!

"Aunt Liu Ping, don't just say that! I'll report you to the police and say you're slandering our family and the village chief's family!

After all, if you slander an official of the imperial court, you will be sent to jail!" Zhao Yunniang originally wanted to ask Aunt Xiaocao for peas, but she heard Liu Ping say this about their family.

"You...you are talking nonsense!" Liu Ping was also frightened.

"Nonsense? My husband was an agricultural official appointed by His Majesty himself. At least he has an official position!" The Liu family is really disgusting. After Liu Hua left, here comes Liu Ping!

"You...you..." Liu Ping pointed at Zhao Yunniang with trembling hands.

"Shut up and come back with me! Nephew and wife, I'm so sorry for you!" Cheng Tieniu slapped Liu Ping. This old woman came out to cause trouble before she finished her own business.

Don’t they even think about it? They can’t afford to offend Third Brother’s family now. Even his father Cheng Zhong doesn’t dare to cause trouble easily!

Ever since Cheng Yiyu and his family became successful, Cheng Tieniu has been complaining that the wife Cheng Zhong and his wife married for him was not virtuous, and gave birth to a son who couldn't understand what people said, and his two grandsons were the same! His great-grandsons were not smart either, and none of them had any future!

This Liu Ping, he didn’t dare to beat her when my mother was around, but now he beats her whenever he’s not happy!

"Uncle Cheng, since we were once a family, I will not report it to the authorities this time. But you have to keep an eye on my Aunt Cheng! Otherwise, be careful about what you say!" Zhao Yunniang had not intended to report it to the authorities, she just wanted to scare Liu Ping.

"Okay, I'm really sorry to have caused you trouble! I will definitely discipline her!" Cheng Tieniu pushed Liu Ping away while cursing.

This unfortunate thing, don’t let her go out anymore in the future!

"Brother, I think my manure is fermenting quite well, quite good!" Cheng Shang lifted the straw curtain covering the manure fermentation pool!

The weather has been good these days, so the three brothers put some straw mats on top of the composting pool and found that the effect was quite good.

"It's fine as long as it's fermented well. Hurry! Cover it!" Cheng Jin covered his nose with one hand and held the wooden board with the other! Does this fertilizer have to be fermented? The smell is so good that it can be smelled for miles!

"Okay, let's ferment it a little more and our fertilizer will be ready!" Cheng Shang said happily as he covered the wooden board.

"Second brother, do we still need to continue working on that greenhouse?" Cheng Tian asked.

Yesterday, the second brother came to him and the eldest brother happily and said that he had a new way to make money! It was to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, and he also explained to them what a greenhouse is!

"We must do it. This is the way to make a fortune that Nannan found for us!" Cheng Shang raised the drawing in his hand and said excitedly.

This is because Cheng Yu was thinking that winter was coming soon, and the hot pot they sold required fresh vegetables. At this time, the greenhouse technology was only in the hands of a small number of wealthy families and households.

There will definitely be no one to supply them by then, so she wants her father and others to do some research. If they have it themselves, they won’t be too passive!

The three of them got together to look at the blueprint in Cheng Shang's hand, then carried their axes and went up the mountain. They had to move faster as the weather would soon turn cold.

"Congratulations, the three young masters have passed the palace examination. Cheng Zhiwen is the top scorer, and you can go back first!" Eunuch Pan said to the three brothers of the Cheng family with a smile.

The palace examination system this time was very strict. It was reviewed on the spot by the emperor and other officials, and the questions for the palace examination were also set by the emperor himself.

If the three brothers of the Cheng family hadn't had such weak backgrounds, the top three would probably have come from their family.

Cheng Zhiwen was the top scholar and Cheng Yiyu was the third. Some ministers were originally against it, but Lord Zheng stood up and happily thanked the emperor for his grace on behalf of Cheng Yiyu.

The Cheng family really needs to change their ways!

Cheng Yu didn’t know whether the door lintel would be changed or not, she just felt like she was about to explode!

She went out with Yu Wenjue and the others to visit the food court. Someone had picked trouble with her family's restaurant, and her grandmother was now sitting in the kitchen, looking angrily.

"What is this! It's so disgusting. The countryside is just the countryside. There's nothing good there!" Cao Yuan said to the two maids with a look of disgust on her face, but her hands never stopped moving.

Old Mrs. Cheng didn't know how a three-year-old child could say such vicious words!

Murong Xueer and Murong Fenghang, along with their maids and guards, carried their meals and sat far away from Cao Yuan.

Why did uncle and mother let them come with this stupid and uneducated Miss Cao? It's so annoying. She keeps complaining about this and that, just because she eats a lot.

Whenever they had to pay, they started crying, saying that her family was not as prominent as theirs and that she didn't have much money on her. She wanted to wait until she found Yuwen Jue and ask him to pay them back!

Wait? What is the relationship between her and her cousin? It's so ambiguous. If they were not just three or four years old, they would have thought she was the future wife of the head of the Yuwen family!

"Silly boy, big brother, let's ignore him!" Murong Xueer stretched out her soft little hand and grabbed Murong Fenghang's hand. She also wanted to throw this embarrassing thing away.

"Hello, sir, here is your meal, please enjoy!" Cheng Xiaowu (Cheng Yihua) brought the meal to Murong Fenghang's table.

During this period, Cheng Yu made a schedule and divided it into morning and evening classes. Today happened to be a day off for the private school, so they came to the restaurant to help after finishing their homework.

Cheng Yu asked Tian Youwei to keep good accounts and pay them their wages every month. Although it was not much, the three brothers were quite satisfied.

"Waiter, why is this so unpalatable?" Cao Yuan started to make a presence of herself again, and immediately pointed at the bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge that she had already finished.

"Even if it tastes bad, you don't eat less!" Cheng Yihua retorted.

It was this three-year-old girl who made her grandmother so angry that she is still in the kitchen!

He looked at the Murong brother and sister again. They must be either rich or noble, and definitely not children from ordinary families. Then he looked at the girl, who came here to eat and drink for free and talked a lot!

When Cheng Yihua saw Murong Fenghang and the others shook their heads at him, indicating that they would not care about the person who was looking for trouble, he became bolder!

"What did you say? A servant actually talked back to me. Chunhua, slap him in the face!" Cao Yuan didn't expect that the waiter would dare to talk back.

"Ms. Cao, that's enough!" Murong Fenghang saw that she was going too far, so he stopped her.

A daughter of a wealthy family, she was using the power of the Yuwen family to bully others. She didn't even check if Cheng Yihua was wearing the coarse linen clothes that a servant wore! And the young man didn't offend her. It was totally unreasonable!

"My cousin from the Yuwen family, can't you beat up an inferior person? Come on, Chunhua!" Cao Yuan became even angrier when she saw Murong Fenghang helping the waiter.

She and Murong Xueer are both cousins of the Yuwen family. Why do all the people dote on Murong Xueer, but treat her coldly? Now they are even speaking up for an inferior person!

Yuwen Jue came in holding Cheng Yu's hand and just heard these words. Yuwen Jue directly asked Cheng Yu to sit aside, not letting him interfere, and promised that Cheng Yihua would not suffer any loss!

I received a letter from home saying that my aunt's son and daughter were coming. Could it be that this uneducated girl was my aunt's daughter?

Murong Xueer: Don’t involve me in this!

"You said you were the cousin of the Yuwen family, but how come I didn't know that I had a cousin? Someone, catch that maid for me!" Yuwen Jue saw Chunhua was about to meet Cheng Yihua, and immediately said nervously to the servant.

"The old lady of the Yuwen family is my great aunt, so how can I not be the cousin of the Yuwen family! Who are you? How dare you offend me? I am the future mistress of the Yuwen family!" Cao Yuan said without thinking when she saw Chunhua being caught.

She didn't care what her aunt said and asked her to endure it. She was going to suppress Murong Xueer.

"Greetings, young master!" The servant standing next to Cao Yuan immediately saluted to Yuwen Jue!

"Throw this future mistress of the Yuwen family out of here. She is such a disgrace! She bosses an official's son around. Is this the upbringing of the Cao family?" Yuwen Jue looked at the nanny standing next to Cao Yuan and his tone became a little heavier.

That old hag caused him to be poisoned and had to stay in bed to recuperate since childhood, and also caused his parents to become alienated. Now she wants to place this unpresentable person by his side!

"Young Master...your grandmother asked you to take her with you!" said the nanny, who could only use the old lady to pressure him.

A servant whispered something in Yuwen Jue's ear, and Yuwen Jue went into the Cheng family's kitchen. After a while, he came out and agreed to let Cao Yuan stay, but asked Chunhua to slap Cao Yuan ten times.

"Cousin, I'm Xue'er! This is my brother Fenghang!" Murong Xue'er and Murong Fenghang had just been standing aside watching Yuwen Jue handle things. As expected of the next head of the Yuwen family, he was decisive and efficient in his actions.

"Hello, cousin!" Yu Wen Jue looked at the two people in front of him saluting him, and he also saluted politely.

"What does uncle want to do?" Murong Fenghang took the opportunity to help him up and whispered in Yuwen Jue's ear.

"It's okay, just cooperate with us when the time comes!" Yu Wen Jue didn't say anything, just let them wait and see!

"Hahaha, I will definitely cooperate!" When Murong Fenghang saw his cousin running to Cheng Yu to ask for praise, he knew that Cao Yuan was in trouble!
