Jingtai's 30th year, spring, Lingnan.

Xing'er got off the carriage and asked along the way, "How to get to Taoli Lane?"

She was good-looking and had a gentle voice. Naturally, she was stunned by the man being asked for directions. He quickly wiped the sweat from his face and said, "It's right in front. I'll take you there."

Xing'er sighed, but didn't dare to move.On a spring day, when farming was busy, there was only one man on the road, so she had to ask for directions.But he didn't dare to follow him.

Women should always be careful when going out.The man saw her hesitation and blushed, "Just turn left ahead, it's not far."

Xing'er thanked him and took a few steps forward. Sure enough, she saw the word "peach and carp" written on the entrance of the alley.

She breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the third house, and knocked on the door anxiously.

Soon there were footsteps in the house. A man in his 20s opened the door and asked curiously: "Who are you?"

Myolie immediately took out the letter that the fifth girl of the Ning family gave her before leaving, "The fifth girl said that she asked me to come to Lingnan to find Mrs. Tangxi."

The man suddenly understood and opened the door, "Come in quickly."

He said: "My surname is Shen and my name is Chi. I don't live here. I'm here to cook for Zhaozhao today."

He smiled sheepishly, "Are you Xing'er? I heard Zhao Zhao talking about you."

It is said that he was introduced by Miss Ning Wu. She was once the roommate of the eldest young master of the Wu family. Now that she has left the Wu family and is desperate, she was introduced by Miss Ning Wu.

Xing'er nodded cautiously, "Yes. Miss Ning Wu said that Mrs. Tangxi had few people to serve her, and I had few places to go, so she asked me to give it a try."

Shen Chi: "Your house is in the east wing. It's all packed up. Go and see if there's anything else you want to buy. If so, I can go to the street and buy it before it gets dark."

Xing'er was new here and didn't dare to pick anything. She just said: "They are all excellent."

Shen Chi saw that she was very reserved and left.

Then go to the fields to find Huang Zhengjing and Zhao Zhao.As expected, the two of them were concentrating on expressing their views on a vegetable seedling in the vegetable field.Shen Chi smiled, walked over and said, "That girl Xing'er is here."

Zhao Zhao reacted for a long time before coming back to his senses, "Oh, is it the one introduced by Xi Xi and Yan Ling?"

Shen Chi: "Yes."

Huang Zhengjing: "Then you don't have to cook anymore, thank God."

Shen Chi: "I don't want to do it either. My martial arts studio is very busy. Who would be willing to cook for you."

He now regarded Zhao Zhao as his own sister. When he saw that her clothes were stained with dirt, he sighed, "I'd better go make you some clothes tomorrow. Don't buy expensive ones this time, otherwise no matter how good the clothes are, they won't be able to withstand you." Such a waste."

Zhaozhao nodded sheepishly, "Yes, I'll just say the normal ones. There's no need to buy silk ones."

If someone comes to the house, she still has to go back and acknowledge him.The three of them walked back, and as soon as they reached the door, they smelled the aroma that made their stomachs growl.

Huang Zhengzheng cried with joy, "I can smell that this is Kyoto cuisine. Finally, finally -"

He has suffered a lot over the years - he can't get used to Lingnan food.But he was too embarrassed to ask his parents to send him a cook. He had been self-reliant in recent years, so he couldn't afford to lose his job because of his appetite.

Then he endured the food cooked by Shen Chi all his life.Honestly speaking, Shen Chi's cooking skills are good, but Young Master Huang Zhengjing still can't get used to it.

He said: "You are Muzhou's taste, and I am Kyoto's tongue. How can it be ordinary? As for Zhaozhao, Zhaozhao can eat anywhere he goes."

So he is the one who suffers the most.

Shen Chi also tried to learn Kyoto cuisine tentatively, but Huang Zhengjing's evaluation was: "It's better not to learn."

He burst into tears with joy. When he entered the house, he saw a man dressed as a girl working hard to lift water from the well.

When he saw them coming back, he was probably stunned, and the well rope in his hand fell down, and the water that he had drawn fell back into the well.

Xing'er was a little panicked.Shen Chi went over and took the rope from her hand. With a wave of his hand, the bucket was filled with water.

He easily lifted the bucket up and said, "It's okay. I'll just fetch water from now on."

Huang Zhengjing: "Yes, he is very strong."

Xing'er quickly took out Miss Ning Wu's letter and showed it to Mrs. Tangxi, saying: "Miss Wu said, please let me... let me take care of you."

Zhao Zhao patted her hand and said, "From now on, I will entrust you with my food."

Xing'er nodded nervously, "Don't worry, my cooking skills are very good."

After dinner, everyone went to the courtyard to enjoy the cool air. Xing'er placed a fruit plate for everyone. Huang Zhengzheng was bored and said, "When you came from Kyoto, didn't my Zhengqi ask you to send a message?"

Xing'er shook her head, "I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything." Huang Zhengzheng smiled and said, "Hey, that heartless one."

He and Shen Chi left after eating the fruit. Zhao Zhao was still busy writing down the growth of the vegetable seedlings today, so he said, "You should go to bed early."

Myolie waited until she fell asleep before she dared to lie on the bed.She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

Although it was her first day here, she didn't know why, but she felt very at ease here.

It wasn't until she woke up the next day that she felt a little dazed and really felt that she had arrived in Lingnan.

She got up to buy groceries and met the man who asked for directions yesterday.He kept looking at her and whispered: "Has the girl found her relatives?"

Xing'er nodded, "Thank you very much for yesterday."

The man blushed, "You're welcome."

His thoughts were immediately noticed when someone came to propose marriage to Xing'er.Xing'er was stunned for a long time, and then said: "I am a widow."

The matchmaker was startled. Looking at the way she dressed up as a girl, he asked suspiciously: "Are you lying to me?"

Xing'er shook her head, "It's true. I don't know the customs here, so I will tie my hair up today."

The matchmaker shook her head and left, "Widow...it's not easy to marry a widow."

Myolie smiled and went to cook again.

The three masters were all very easy to take care of. She could get the money with peace of mind and cherished this opportunity very much.

The climate in Lingnan is also good. She has only been here for half a month, and she found that some of the yellowish air on her face has disappeared.

She worked diligently, and after getting acquainted with Mrs. Tangxi, she began to talk about the past.

She said: "I was not born in the family, but was sold to the Wu family since I was a child. So... these years, I don't even know where my hometown is."

Zhao Zhao was grinding the medicinal ingredients and looked up at her after hearing this, "What happened next?"

"Later, because I looked better, had an honest temper, and didn't talk much, I became Mrs. Wu's maid."

"When I was 12 years old, my wife pointed me to the eldest young master of the Wu family as a maid."

"When I was 16 years old, the eldest young master of the Wu family went on a study tour with Miss Ning Wu after they got engaged. I went with him and became his first-in-law."

"Later, Miss Ning Wu was engaged to the Wu family. Mrs. Wu heard somewhere that it was because of me and because she hated me that the fifth girl broke off the engagement. She took me to find the fifth girl and wanted to sell her on the spot. I."

At that time, she thought her life was going to be over, but it was the fifth girl who interceded for her and saved her.

But Mrs. Wu began to abuse her.There is no good skin on her hands or feet.

She whispered: "At that time, before the fifth girl and the eldest young master broke off their engagement, the eldest young master asked me whether I wanted to stay or leave. I made my choice to leave early. I thought, I am good at cooking. , it will be a good idea to open a candy shop in the future."

"I had everything planned at that time, and I was just waiting to leave, but in the end I couldn't leave."

Zhao Zhao hummed, and seeing her head lowered all the time, he said, "You have done a good job, and the girl with the same relationship will not end well."

Xing'er smiled, "Yes."

"Later, the fifth girl was going to the Duke of Song's house for a banquet. In order to irritate her, my wife took me there specially, and the fifth girl saw the scars on my body."

"She rescued me and asked me where I wanted to go."

"A person like me can't actually go anywhere. She just asked me to work in her grandma's shop."

She went there for two years, worked diligently, and her life became more comfortable, but she was never very happy.She doesn't want to stay in Kyoto.

The fifth girl said: "Then you go to Lingnan. Go there and help me take care of people."

"After you get familiar with it, you can open your own shop there."

Myolie agreed.

She said to Zhaozhao: "Madam, you don't know how happy I am after leaving Kyoto."

It’s not that I can’t live in Kyoto, but it’s a sad place.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhao laughed, "I understand, I understand, I understand how happy it is."
