"Are you all right? Come and have a look."

Zitan came in a hurry, and after leaving in a hurry, Tong Shaoxuan saw Tang Jianwei leaning on his waist and staring at her. He was not afraid of being beaten, so he took the initiative to ask for a check.

"It's okay, it's just that you screwed my flesh when you were nervous. Why are you nervous?" Tang Jianwei didn't hit her, but he still didn't forget to say, "We're serious here, and we're not doing something shameful." thing."

"Well……"

"Besides, in the eyes of others, we are a serious couple who have become close friends! You don't need to panic even if you do something."

"Oh."

Tong Shaoxuan lowered his head, accidentally pinched her, and obediently received the scolding, and did not refute with a clever mouth, which made Tang Jianwei even feel uncomfortable in the scolding.

"why do not you talk?"

"Didn't I humbly accept Madam's education?"

"I see that you are refuting in your heart, so just don't say it."

"Madam is wise." Tong Shaoxuan did go through Tang Jianwei's argument about "sister and sister" in his mind.

"..."

"Madam, do you still want to press?"

"Well, let's do it again, I can't stay too long, or I'll be too busy to cook and turn into a ball of batter."

In fact, Tang Jianwei should go out now, but she is really greedy for Tong Shaoxuan's embrace.

I want to lean in her arms effortlessly and be held by her for a while longer.

"Okay, come on."

Tong Shaoxuan, who was also enjoying it, opened his arms again, and Tang Jianwei leaned forward. This time, before Tang Jianwei could say anything, Tong Shaoxuan took the initiative to lift up her clothes, and his strength gradually increased from a young age...

"It's so comfortable, Anian..."

Tang Jianwei sniffed the citrus scent on her body, pulled her skirt, the pain was slowly relieved, and almost fell asleep in her arms.

Tong Shaoxuan's heart was beating extremely fast, and she was a little afraid that Tang Jianwei would find out that she was actually nervous under her calm tone when they were so close together:

"This room faces north. It's too cold. I'll add a charcoal basin later. Let's add a small bathroom so that you can take a comfortable bath at any time."

"Really?"

"Really, it's the same as our bathroom. Don't you like it?"

"Well, I really like it."

……

After inhaling Tong Shaoxuan's fragrance for a while, even if he couldn't bear it, Tang Jianwei would go back.

Tong Shaoxuan followed her, with an appearance of resolutely guarding the end, and discussed with her about continuing to recruit workers.

"You can't be the only one in the back kitchen. You can't be exhausted if you work alone."

"I also want to accept apprentices, but apprentices are not so easy to accept. Especially the ones passed down to me by my mother-in-law.

Tong Shaoxuan was very reasonable after hearing what she said, nodded in agreement, and brought the side dishes she needed by the way.

Tang Jian stir-fried the lukewarm oil in a wok: "I really want to take in apprentices, but I have to choose a good one."

Song Qiao and Tong Shaoqian came, and the entire Tong family helped out in the shop, barely coping with the first day's business.

"Our daughter-in-law is really amazing." Song Qiao was so busy that his hair was crooked, "Look at this person! How much money did you get in one night?"

Tong Changting helped her straighten her bun: "Look at you, you can see that Yinzi's hair is all messed up. Who said before that Ah Shen would spend money, and building a latrine is more grand than our front hall? If you can make money, you will naturally spend it." .Money is not saved, it is earned.”

"Shhh!" Song Qiao took a look and saw that no one had heard their conversation, then pinched Tong Changting, "What are you talking about outside! People thought we were greedy for money from our daughter-in-law!"

"...You didn't say it first."

"Talk back, don't you? Hey, Ah Shen's waist hasn't been cleared yet, we are busy with the shop, we can't stand by and watch. I'll ask Dr. Wu to come to her door early tomorrow morning to have a look at her waist. There are problems with her waist. Don’t be ambiguous. Here at the shop, if we have nothing to do, we will come over to help out more, and continue to recruit workers when we need to, so we can’t let Ah Shen be exhausted by himself.”

"Okay, okay, everything is arranged by Madam."

Seeing that Tang Jianwei had returned to the back kitchen, Song Qiao felt a little anxious. He wanted to help but he didn't know anything about cooking. Elsewhere, anyway, Song Qiao thought he couldn't cook delicious food, and he wouldn't be able to make a table of pig food.

How to do it?

When Song Qiao was in a hurry, Tong Shaoqian rolled up his sleeves and said:

"I'll go to the back kitchen to help."

The eyes of everyone sitting in the box immediately turned to her: "You?!"

"...What do you mean? Why can't I help?"

Tong Changting wondered: "I've never seen you cook before, why did you suddenly have a whim?"

Ge Xunqing and Shi Ruzhuo both forgot to eat a skewer in their hands: "Sister Ah Shen and cooking don't seem to go well together..."

Tong Boyi chuckled: "I don't know how to cook, but when it comes to eating, you are really No.1. You don't mean to go to the kitchen to steal food?"

Tong Shaolin also stopped her: "Don't make trouble with Ah Shen, just stay here and don't make trouble for Ah Shen."

"Hey!" Tong Shaoqian stood at the door of the box with his hips crossed, "So in your hearts, I'm just a piece of mud that knows nothing but food?"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes."

Tong Shaoqian: "..."

Erniang Bai, who was holding a cup of fried drink in the corner, whispered, "Well, I think Sister Ah Shen can give it a try. Sister Ah Shen is actually very smart, so it should be fine."

Tong Shaoqian laughed, pointed at Erniang Bai and said, "Only Ah Bai has eyesight! See that? You Tong surnamed all have no conscience, or my god-sister understands me! I'm going now!"

Ge Xunqing looked at Bai Erniang curiously: "Damn sister? When did you recognize her?"

Bai Erniang's heart turned cold when she heard this title: "I didn't promise it?!"

Could this be the punishment for knocking her mother into the ditch? !

When Tong Shaoqian arrived in the back kitchen, Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan were too busy to notice her. When they came back to their senses, they found that Tong Shaoqian had already cooked a plate of hot lamb.

Tong Shaoqian took a piece of mutton with chopsticks, raised his eyebrows, and turned to feed Tang Jianwei:

"Come on, Shen, you have a taste, and after you taste it, justify my name."

Tang Jianwei hid back, not daring to eat directly: "You made this?"

"……yes."

"Who is better at cooking than your elder sister?"

"Comparing my cooking skills with my eldest sister's, I'm looking down on anyone... It's really delicious, it's no different from yours, you'll know it after you eat it!"

Tang Jianwei never thought that Tong Shaoqian could cook. He glanced at the appearance of the hot mutton on the plate. It was shiny, but at least the color looked normal, which seemed to be the same thing.

But with Tong Shaolin's deep impression in front of her, she was still a little apprehensive.

Tong Shaoqian sees that Tang Jianwei, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, dare not take a bite of the dishes she cooks, and he doesn't know whether he should be proud or sad...

"Let me eat and see." Tong Shaoxuan came up and swallowed the mutton in one bite, and said while eating, "If Tang Jianwei's cooking is not delicious, I will give you all the pocket money that Auntie gave you next month."

"Who said that?! I don't agree!"

Tong Shaoxuan smiled triumphantly, and as he ate, his expression gradually became strange.

Seeing her appearance, Tong Shaoqian hurriedly put his hand under her mouth: "Okay, okay, if it's really not delicious, spit it out quickly, don't eat it badly."

Tang Jianwei was also a little worried: "What's the matter, Anian? Don't scare me!"

After Tong Shaoxuan was stunned for a while, he suddenly came back to his senses, took the chopsticks from Tong Shaoqian's hand, and took another bite.

"Hey!"

After eating, I was sure: "It's delicious..."

"..."

Tong Shaoxuan turned back and said to Tang Jianwei: "It's really delicious, and it tastes similar to what you make."

Tang Jianwei let out a "huh" and went to taste it too.

Tong Shaoxuan is not talking nonsense. This plate of hot mutton is tender and tender, the heat is excellent, and the ingredients are precise. It is a masterpiece that can be served directly on the table.

Tang Jianwei was shocked: "It's too delicious, third sister, when will you learn to cook?!"

"I didn't realize that I could cook before, but didn't I always eat your cooking a while ago? Now you are busy with other things outside and have no time at home. I am so greedy, so I try to cook by myself. , I found that it tastes good. In fact, I have a talent for cooking, but unfortunately, I have never been discovered."

Tong Shaoqian had never been praised directly by anyone like this, and she was praised by someone like Tang Jianwei who was at the pinnacle of culinary skills. She was a little embarrassed, so she said boastful words, trying to defuse her shyness.

Tang Jianwei took her hand and said, "That's great, Anian and I were still worrying about the back kitchen. I couldn't handle it all by myself, but when I was recruiting people outside, I was afraid that I didn't know what people knew. We have a master chef in our family!"

Tang Jianwei boasted sincerely, and a shy expression floated directly on Tong Shaoqian's face at the moment:

"The master chef can't... I just imitated it according to the gourd painting..."

"Great, we will have someone capable in the back kitchen to help us in the future!"

"Wait a minute, Shen, do you want me to come directly to the back kitchen to help?"

"What worries does Third Sister have?"

"I have to discuss this with Ye Niang. After all, I still have to go to the academy."

Hearing Tong Shaoqian's word "academy", Tang Jianwei was even more surprised: "Third sister, are you studying?"

"...does it surprise you that I'm reading?"

Tang Jianwei thought of the "Zhong Ni's saying" that Tong Shaoqian had forgotten in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile: "No, no, I'm not surprised at all."

With Tong Shaoqian's help, Tang Jianwei felt much more relaxed, and the diners also felt that the food was served much faster, but there was no big difference in taste. At least Zitan heard all praises at the cash register without any bad comments.

The Tong family members and Tong Shaoxuan's classmates who were still eating and drinking in the private room were all jaw-dropped when they heard that Tong Shaoqian was actually cooking in the back kitchen.

Song Qiao and Bai Erniang excitedly went to the direction of the kitchen to find out. Bai Erniang almost knocked her into the air again, so she quickly slowed down and let Song Qiao go first...

Song Qiao and Tong Changting both shed tears when they saw the heroic figure of the third daughter who was not very proficient but devoted herself to cooking.

Heaven has eyes, I didn't expect their daughter to have such great skills!

Everyone surrounded and booed, laughed and made noises. Shi Ruzhuo stood at the outermost part of the crowd. Although she couldn't see the scene inside, she was so happy that she didn't want to leave just hearing everyone's laughter.

There was a person standing behind Shi Ruzhuo, she didn't pay much attention at first, until something wrapped around her wrist, she turned her head inexplicably.

A ribbon tied her wrists at some point, and the other end of the ribbon was wrapped around another person's wrist.

"Huh?" Shi Ruzhuo looked up at the man, and when she saw the man's face clearly, her face changed drastically.

"You...why!"

"Keep shouting. If you want your little friends to know that I'm coming to Su County, just shout. I just want to see if the Tong family sister can sleep peacefully tonight."

The person behind him was a head taller than Shi Ruzhuo, his chest was pressed against Shi Ruzhuo, and his wrist was around her slender waist.

If other people saw that person's actions and didn't hear the conversation between the two, they would only think that this was a pair of loving lovers.

Shi Ruzhuo no longer looked back, his pale face faced the front, his lips trembled, and he whispered in a voice that almost disappeared: "What do you want..."

Lu Lanxin took a hard bite on the tip of her ear.

Shi Ruzhuo endured the pain and didn't make a sound.

"Good." Lu Lan touched her chin and said, "Come out."

After Haishi, the number of talents in the shop gradually decreased, and Tong Shaoqian was not interested in cooking, so he asked Tang Jianwei to go out for a rest.

Tang Jianwei came out to drink tea and chat with everyone, and Tong Shaoxuan followed suit.

But I saw Ge Xunqing wandering back and forth in the store, as if looking for something.

"What's wrong?" Tong Shaoxuan stepped forward and asked her.

"The Jade Attacker is gone." Ge Xunqing wondered, "He was by my side just now."

"Did you go home? It's so late."

"It's possible." Ge Xunqing thought for a while, and then felt that something was wrong, "If she comes home, she will definitely say something, and she won't leave without saying a word."

West Market has a bustling main street, but also a secret door that few people come and go.

The wooden door behind Shi Ruzhuo hadn't been opened for a long time, Lu Lan pressed Shi Ruzhuo's hands behind his back and tied them to the wooden doorknob.

From time to time, the sound of footsteps and conversations came from the main street more than ten steps away, from far and near, and then far away.

Only some distant lights and the silent moonlight illuminated their place.

"So indifferent, I thought I came all the way to find you, and you would be happy to see me."

Lv Lanxin was wearing a simple Hu suit today, her hair was tied up neatly, but her make-up was also beautiful, and she was wearing a luxurious robe, she did not look like a native of Su County.

Shi Ruzhuo's face was as cold as ice, he looked at other places without saying a word.

Lu Lanxin's eyes fell on the tip of her ear that was bitten red by him, raised her hand to touch it, and asked:

"Does it hurt?"

Shi Ruzhuo still didn't say anything, his whole body was like a stone sculpture without a soul.

Lu Lan wanted to untie the belt of her skirt, and acted mischievously, but she didn't respond.

"Hey, it's really boring." Lu Lan pulled his hand out heartily, "I'll go and play with Sister Shaoxuan."

Before Lu Lan's heart left, Shi Ruzhuo spoke:

"You promised me that I would not come to Su County, nor would I trouble Tong Shaoxuan again. You did not keep your promise."

"That's right, I'm the one who broke my promise and got fat." Lv Lanxin smiled and narrowed her eyes like a cunning cat, "You will get to know me better and better in the future."

Shi Ruzhuo sneered: "You brazen pig and dog."

"Well, this is just like the little hero who threw stones at me in Yunyao Mountain that day. Actually, I came here for no other reason than to know what your name is in small characters. For the sake of my hard work, Tell me, okay?"

"You are sick."

"It's not that you made me lovesick, you are naturally responsible."

After a short conversation, Shi Ruzhuo fell silent again.

Lu Lan pinched her chin to force her to look up, and forcefully opened her lips to kiss her.

Shi Ruzhuo bit her mouth forcefully, she let out an "ouch" and stopped the forceful kiss.

"Why are you so rough? It's not like you haven't kissed me before. You didn't bite me last time in Yunyao Mountain."

On a certain night in Yunyao Mountain before, Shi Ruzhuo was stopped by Lu Lanxin when Shi Ruzhuo came out of the cold shower alone in the dark. When she touched her waist, she felt that half of her body was numb, and she couldn't even shout. He made a sound without any strength to resist, and was taken away by Lu Lan's heart.

This woman actually knows how to tap acupuncture points?

Shi Ruzhuo was carried into her room by Lu Lanxin, she didn't do anything, just looked at Shi Ruzhuo's face quietly, waiting for her to move slowly.

"What do you want!" Shi Ruzhuo moved away from her as soon as he could speak, and wanted to open the door to escape, but found that the door was locked, and there was no possibility of escape.

"I miss you." The wound on Lu Lanxin's forehead is bright and eye-catching. "Every time the wound hurts, I will think of you. I find that my heart is occupied by you, and I really want to talk to you."

Shi Ruzhuo looked at her like a monster.

"Come here."

"..."

"If you don't come, I will follow you back to Su County."

"You, go to Su County if you go to Su County, can you still do evil in Su County?"

"Don't say such things. I am an official of the imperial court. How could I do evil? But the dean of your academy has a good chat with me. He asked me if I had any thoughts on the candidates for this year's tribute students of Bailu Academy. I'm not familiar with the students here, but what about my sister Shaoxuan... she should be taking the exam in two years, right? I will remember to come back and give my opinion to the dean at that time."

Hearing her words, Shi Ruzhuo was furious, stepped forward and grabbed her:

"You want to hinder Changsi's career?!"

Looking at Shi Ruzhuo's red eyes, Lu Lan said happily:

"Everyone has their own destiny, who knows when the turning point that determines their own destiny will happen?"

Shi Ruzhuo was trembling with anger, his knuckles were green and white: "You can't do it!"

Lu Lan laughed heartily: "If you don't believe me, just try it. Anyway, Boling has not had much fun recently, so I feel flustered, and I have more time to play with you."

Lu Lanxin could make fun of Tong Shaoxuan's official career, but Shi Ruzhuo didn't dare.

She knew that the Tong family and even the entire Su county had high hopes for Tong Shaoxuan, if she ruined Tong Shaoxuan's life because of her impulsiveness, Shi Ruzhuo would be the scourge of revenge, and she would hate herself to death.

"What do you want to do?" Shi Ruzhuo asked hesitantly.

Lu Lan's eyes sank, her lips suddenly approached.

Shi Ruzhuo was startled, he didn't expect her to do this, so he backed away immediately.

Lu Lan watched her dodge with interest, but she didn't run away anymore, but stood still and clenched her fists, and was silent for a long time before asking:

"Is this what you want?"

Lu Lan raised her eyebrows heartily, as an answer.

"If, me, cooperate...will you not trouble Tong Shaoxuan again? Won't you go to Su County?"

Lu Lan thought for a while and said, "Really."

Shi Ruzhuo gritted his teeth and stood still.

"come over."

She walked slowly to Lu Lanxin, who patted her leg and told her to sit down.

Shi Ruzhuo could only follow suit.

That night was her first kiss. She had never thought about such a thing before, but it came so suddenly and inexplicably.

Since then, Lu Lanxin did not bother them again. On the way back to Su County, Shi Ruzhuo paid more attention to whether Lu Lanxin followed behind than Tong Shaoxuan.

Thinking about it now, Shi Ruzhuo hated himself for actually believing what this scumbag said!

Lu Lan touched the blood on his lips, sighed and said, "Why are you so rough every time? Look, I saw blood again."

Shi Ruzhuo struggled with both arms, and said viciously: "If you come closer to me again, I will bite your throat off."

Lu Lan was not afraid of her at all, and took out something from her bosom.

It was a talisman with the word "Su County" written on it.

Shi Ruzhuo's eyes were attracted by the talisman for a moment.

"I'm so stupid. I thought you liked her when I saw you standing out for Sister Shaoxuan."

"...Don't talk nonsense! Chang Si is kind to me and is married, I just regard her as a benefactor!"

"Yeah, I know now that what you like is not her, but someone else."

Shi Ruzhuo looked at her suspiciously.

"Ge Xunqing, is that your name?"

Lu Lanxin's words shocked Shi Ruzhuo, and hurriedly lowered his head: "I don't know who you are talking about."

"Ge Xunqing, Ge Yangguang, the daughter of the county magistrate's family, your classmate. Is the shy and happy look she hugged before me the same person as the one in front of me? I'm so envious."

Shi Ruzhuo panicked completely, struggling hard, and even wanted to shout.

Lu Lanxin stepped forward and squeezed her chin hard, preventing her from speaking, and slapped the talisman on her face:

"I know that country people like you don't know what this is, so I kindly tell you that this is the talisman of your Su county magistrate. I just made up an excuse, and he personally delivered the talisman to me. I am also in a dilemma. With it in hand, the entire Su County is now mine. Do you understand what this means? That Ge Xunqing’s county magistrate’s father, I can find any trouble for him to carry on his back, and the whole family will be exiled Exile into the army. Let me explain to you the meaning of exile into the army. The men of the county magistrate’s family go to work as coolies or go to the front line as a substitute for dead ghosts. Women can also work as coolies, but they are more likely to be sent to the army to become military prostitutes. Military prostitutes You should understand, you can imagine that day. At least [-] people are greeted and sent every day, and a normal person will be useless in about a month. Huh? This is crying? Hey, I just said that it is possible It's just sex, and it's not that you've really done it, but it scares you like this, it's obvious that you like her very much."

"It's my fault... I provoked you, you can do whatever you want." Shi Ruzhuo's tears flowed down the back of Lu Lanxin's hand, and she slid down the back of her hand, "Don't hurt her..."

Lu Lanxin stared at her crying face for a moment, then kissed her.

This time Shi Ruzhuo didn't hide and didn't dare to bite her again. Because of crying, it became very difficult to breathe, and her mouth was blocked again. The feeling of being about to suffocate made her extremely uncomfortable.

"Your small print?"

"Small characters..." Shi Ruzhuo's neck hurt from being bitten, and he took a deep breath, "The small characters are, Ah Qi."

"Oh? It's cuter than I imagined. Why do you say you have to, tell me earlier why you have to suffer this kind of crime? Look at the rouge on this lip, it doesn't suit you at all. I wiped it off for you."

Shi Ruzhuo sobbed in a low voice, being tortured, he still had to devote a little energy to pay attention to the movement in the outer street, not daring to make a sound, fearing that Ge Xunqing, who came out to look for her, would find out.

Lu Lan Xinhui is an important villain on the main line from Su County to Boling.

This article is generally relaxed, but the girls always go to Boling and enter the officialdom one day, which can be regarded as a warm-up.
