A family of three travels through time together, and the golden finger is turned on
Chapter 457 News from Tongcheng
"Delicious, delicious, your mother's cooking is really good." Liu Fengan said as he turned around and poured himself a large bowl, emptying it immediately. Sitting next to Gu Can, he ate big mouthfuls of food, and now he looked like a larger version of Gu Can.
Both of them ate at about the same pace. They would scoop up a spoonful, open their mouths exaggeratedly wide, and take a gulp, their cheeks puffed up with food.
Gu Can’s action is quite cute even though he is still small. Liu Fengan is already a grown-up, but Master Sun looks confused watching him. When did adults become so childish?
When Ji Xiaoju came out, she saw two people, one large and one small, sitting in a row, eating as exaggeratedly as people in cartoons. Master Sun stood in the back and rolled his eyes. When she walked over, there was nothing left in the pot.
"Hmm." Master Sun coughed.
"Sun...um, sorry, Madam Ji, Zhao Long and Zhang Hu, go catch two more fish." Liu Fengan wanted to ask Master Sun what was wrong, but when he saw Ji Xiaoju looking at the empty pot, a burst of heat suddenly rushed to his face.
"Don't bother, sir. It's just right to finish it, otherwise it will be wasted. It's great that you don't mind my crude cooking skills." Ji Xiaoju waved her hand quickly.
"No, Madam Ji, your cooking skills are really great. I usually cook fish soup with rough pancakes, but how come yours is so delicious?"
"I don't know if it tastes good or not. I just discovered it by accident. Throwing this thing into fish soup can remove the fishy smell. This wild grass is non-toxic and slightly salty. Salt is a rare commodity, so I saw some, so I picked up two and cooked them together to make it a little salty."
"This is the wisdom of life. I'm grateful for your advice." After listening to Ji Xiaoju's words, Liu Fengan realized that there is always a teacher among three people.
"I don't deserve it."
"If you don't mind, I can let you prepare dinner for me," Ji Xiaoju suggested.
"This, this is so embarrassing." Liu Fengan savored the taste in his mouth. Even the rough pancakes could be made so delicious after some processing.
"My Lords, you saved my family's lives. I have no way to repay you. This humble craft is the only way to show my gratitude. Please don't refuse."
"Well, if you need anything, just tell them. I'm watching over you, don't worry."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Cancan. You must listen to me and don't act naughty."
"I understand, mother."
Liu Fengan took Gu Can to his tent and summoned Zhao Long and Wang Zhao. He instructed Zhao Long to take a few men to Tongcheng first to investigate the situation. A small glimpse into the larger picture: the arrogance of Feng Zhubo's servants must have taken more than a day or two to develop. Tongcheng must be facing significant problems.
If they go in rashly, they might not be able to do anything and might even encounter an accident.
He also asked Wang Zhao to take his letters to Fengcheng to borrow someone.
We will stay here for a few days and wait for the results of the investigation before taking any action.
That night, Zhang Hu caught fish, hunted pheasants, and rabbits. Ji Xiaoju found some ginger, peppercorns, and wild onions in the forest and used the limited ingredients to make a delicious fish soup. The pheasant, inevitably, was called a flower chicken, and there was also roasted rabbit. The aroma made everyone in the camp feel dizzy.
Liu Fengan was kind enough to take Gu Can to teach her how to read.
As soon as the smell came out, he could not sit still anymore, so he carried Gu Can out of the tent and sat down by the fire, staring at the roasted rabbit, taking a sip of fish soup and looking at it, taking a sip of fish soup and looking at it again.
"Uncle Liu, your saliva has dripped onto Cancan's clothes." This is really a bit dirty, and Gu Can frowned.
"Hehe, when we get into the city, uncle will buy you a new one." Liu Fengan quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her, fearing that Ji Xiaoju over there would find out.
Master Sun shook his head helplessly, walked forward, picked up Gu Can, and served him a bowl of fish soup.
"Cancan, drink some soup first. Your uncle Liu can't take care of you right now." Master Sun scooped a spoonful of fish soup, put it to his mouth and blew it gently to cool it before feeding it to Gu Can.
"Thank you, Uncle Sun. Cancan can drink it by himself."
"Okay, then you sit here and don't get close to the fire, okay?" Master Sun didn't force her. The little girl was too thin and needed some nourishment.
"Yes, Cancan knows."
"So cute." What a lovely little girl! If he could have such a cute and smart daughter, he would definitely raise her to be plump and beautiful.
"You are an old bachelor, you will never have a daughter in this life." Liu Fengan knew what his old partner was thinking as soon as he saw him.
"As if there is someone who likes you." Master Sun retorted directly. They were both old bachelors, so what did it matter who was more noble than the other.
"········" This guy's words were like poison. Why didn't I think straight and become his partner?
Gu Can drank his soup while listening to the two bickering, the dimples on his face never disappearing from his smile. It was a joy to watch.
The guards also drank the fragrant fish soup. In such weather, a bowl of hot fish soup was so comforting. The twenty or so bound servants ate rough bread with cold water, inhaling the fragrant aroma wafting through the air.
"Wow, wow, wow, this is too much, don't torture me like this!" But no one wanted to pay attention to them. If they didn't want to eat, they would just block their mouths. It would be a waste to give them rough bread!
Gu Liang also woke up at night, and the three of them slept in each other's arms in the tent.
In the morning, Gu Liang personally caught a few fish, and Ji Xiaoju fetched rice and cooked a large pot of fish porridge. Liu Fengan woke up at the smell. The journey was only a few days, but Zhao Long and his men rode quickly and arrived in Tongcheng in two days. They disguised themselves and entered Tongcheng.
What happened that day had already spread widely. They didn't need to inquire about it themselves. They could just sit in a teahouse and hear a lot of news.
Feng Zhubo and Shanming Academy were notorious in Tongcheng. They spent three days investigating the city before returning.
"They're really so brazen!" Liu Feng'an was furious after hearing Zhao Long and the others' report. This small county clerk dared to act so arbitrarily and defy the law. If they hadn't met the three Gu family members, they would have been kept in the dark.
His position as governor is in vain!
"Sir, time is running out. What Zhao Long saw might just be the tip of the iceberg. He has been able to be the chief clerk for so many years and act so arrogantly. Why do those above help him? I'm afraid there is something fishy going on." Master Sun realized something was wrong after a little thought.
"As for Fengcheng, perhaps my arrangements have alerted the enemy."
"That may not be the case. Although Tongcheng and Fengcheng are neighboring cities, they are not very close. Those people in Tongcheng will not brag about what is happening in Tongcheng."
"It's a shame that Gu Liang, who was clearly extremely intelligent and had the potential to be the top scholar, was persecuted to this extent. I've heard of extraordinary people who have photographic memories, but this is the first time I've heard of someone who has an unforgettable memory."
"The three members of this family have been delayed. Madam Ji was able to recite the entire text word for word just by listening to Gu Liang's narration. I don't know how many such talents are buried among the people." Master Sun couldn't help but sigh.
"The most urgent task is to resolve the Tongcheng issue and restore a bright future for the people of Tongcheng. We came too late." Liu Fengan said.
