Possessed by Luffy's fruit, I went crazy in ancient times

Chapter 84 Good Cook

Xu Yihuan listened to Magistrate Liu and let Magistrate Xie go, but the incident became so big that it soon alerted Marshal Xue and the three princes who were resting in the county office.

When Vice General Cui arrived with his people, he only saw the bodies of men in black on the ground.

Lieutenant General Cui was not surprised. Wherever King Jin was present, there would inevitably be bloodshed.

Ever since King Jin joined the team to regain Xiaocheng, the Queen's assassinations have not been interrupted. Not to mention the return of the army this time, the blood on King Jin's body has not been dried all the way to the army.

He didn't bother to ask any more questions. He just saw that Xu Yihuan, Jin Wang and others were all safe and sound, so he took someone to ask Magistrate Xie about the situation. After understanding the situation, he left.

Magistrate Xie was assassinated one after another and was questioned by Marshal Xue and others. He was tired and resentful. Finally, he returned to his room in the middle of the night and finally encountered the conversation between Mr. Lu and the man in black in his backyard. Only then did he know that the Queen had been Having contact with his wife, Lu also helped the queen raise a pair of slaves.

Magistrate Xie, who was already frightened to the point of losing his mind, became extremely angry when he found out that Lu ordered slaves to assassinate Yeshang regardless of his own safety.

But then he thought of the collusion between the Lu family and the queen, so he quietly suppressed the matter and pretended that he didn't know about it.

Although there was a fight, Xu Yihuan did not feel that he had gained nothing.

The little girl she saved was a bonus. The little girl was only twelve years old. She was smart and cute. Xu Yihuan liked her very much.

After bringing her back, she became even more sure that she had done nothing wrong. The little girl knew how to cook.

When Xu Yihuan returned to the room, she asked Xiaochun about the kitchen. She went into the kitchen and cooked a dozen dishes for Xu Yihuan to express her gratitude.

Xu Yihuan has never eaten any decent specialties since she came here. However, the little girl is very smart and borrowed ordinary ingredients from the kitchen to make snacks for Xu Yihuan.

"Mutton pancakes, braised pork, steamed seabass, egg custard, multigrain pancakes." Xiaochun couldn't help but drool while watching.

The corner of Xu Yihuan's mouth curled up, and she picked up the chopsticks and tasted it with joy: "It's delicious. I never thought you could do this."

As soon as the little girl heard Xu Yihuan's praise, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed with gratitude and said: "Slave Mo'er, thank you so much for saving me."

Xu Yihuan waved her hand casually, raised her hand and said: "You're welcome, get up."

Mo'er kowtowed twice and stood up happily.

"Why were you arrested in Xie's Mansion? What did they ask you to do? You have been begging them for mercy." At this moment, Xu Yihuan began to wonder, what exactly is the blessing that the servants said?
  Mo'er's face darkened, her eyes became gloomy, and she pursed her lips and said, "They want me to serve Master Xie."

Xu Yihuan just took a mouthful of custard and rolled her eyes and said: "Serving should not only refer to taking care of food and daily life."

Xiaochun's face darkened, and she immediately understood that Miss Xu was being stupid again. He stepped forward and whispered in her ear: "I just want to sleep with Mr. Xie."

When Xu Yihuan heard this, her face darkened, and she turned to look at Mo'er. He could do it to harm a young child. When she thought about this, the anger in her chest rose again.

"Does this happen often?" Xu Yihuan put down her chopsticks and asked.

Xiaochun hesitated for a moment, wondering why Miss Xu looked like she came from an alien?

"this"

"Such things happen all over the country." Magistrate Liu stood at the door at some point.

He walked in uninvited. Xu Yihuan stood up immediately, asked him to sit down and said, "What do you say?"

Magistrate Liu knew that she had lost her memory and had no idea about these things.

He began to explain: "The nobles have the power to dominate the common people, so it is basically impossible for the nobles to marry a commoner as a wife, but they can also be a concubine. Generally speaking, the nobles will only choose a wife whose status and property are not as good as that of a scholar's daughter. "Concubine, or marry a woman whose status and property are higher than your own." He also said: "As for civilian women who are lucky enough to be included in the back house, they are mostly used as objects of fun. Usually, after having fun, the nobles will find a reason to kill the person, or demean the person. Marrying and working for slaves is a unique skill that won’t allow commoners to give birth to children for them.”

After hearing this, Xu Yihuan's face turned pale and her fists in her hands clenched tightly.

County Magistrate Liu saw that she didn't understand much about this, so he continued to popularize science: "If a commoner woman wants to seek stability, she can ask for the blessing of a noble clan and ask her to be by her side. As long as the other party does not overwhelm the other party in terms of status, then she can It’s safe and sound”

"However, if the opponent's status and power are higher than those of the nobles who are protecting them, then the nobles may buy them out and force them to come over. This will become a struggle between nobles."

"Usually, nobles are not willing to offend a noble of the same level for a commoner."

Xu Yihuan was confused after hearing this. This is what is called having to find a backer. Whoever has more backers will listen to whom. If two backers are equally matched, it depends on how tough the other side is?
  "So, how did Prince Jin survive?" Xu Yihuan approached Magistrate Liu and asked in a low voice.

When County Magistrate Liu heard this, his face darkened. He had never thought of discussing Prince Jin's affairs with Miss Xu in private.

Magistrate Liu shouted in his heart: Not good.

He turned to look at the dishes on the table and said, "Miss Xu, won't you invite me to eat with you?"

Before Xu Yihuan could speak, Mo'er stepped forward and said, "I made this specially for Miss Xu. Who are you? You just stood by and didn't help. How can you be so embarrassed?"

Xiaochun froze in embarrassment, feeling a chill on his back, but felt that what Mo'er said made sense.

She had always wanted to tell Miss Xu that Magistrate Liu liked to hide behind her every time.

However, due to the fact that Magistrate Liu took great care of Miss Xu, she never said these words.

When Xu Yihuan heard this, he felt that the little girl was outspoken and a rare centerpiece. She suddenly smiled and said: "County Magistrate Liu gave me some advice, so I must remember Magistrate Liu for his contribution."

She didn't think Mo'er was abrupt, but she thought she was innocent and cute. After a second thought, she gave up asking about King Jin's matter.

Magistrate Liu was also thick-skinned, and regardless of the younger girl's outspokenness, he picked up the chopsticks on the table and tasted it. The taste was unique, but different from the previous cook he had.

"You also know a lot about pharmacology." After County Magistrate Liu tasted the first dish, he could taste its special features.

When Mo'er heard this, her eyes lit up, and her voice was filled with joy as she stepped forward and said, "How do you know?"

County Magistrate Liu put down his chopsticks and said: "This fish is added with clams, Codonopsis pilosula, and wolfberry, which is beneficial to qi and blood, strengthens the spleen and removes dampness."

Then he said: "Miss Xu has a bad appetite recently and has been traveling for days. It is very suitable for her to eat. But how do you know how to eat medicinal foods?"

When Mo'er heard this, she felt like she had met a close friend, and her mouth poured out the beans like a bamboo tube: "My father is a doctor, but I also like to eat, so I read some of his books when I was a child, but later..."

"Later, when my family fell into decline, I was demoted to a good citizen." When he said this, Mo'er paused and his face darkened.

"Then is there anyone else in your family?" Xu Yihuan felt miserable when she heard this. In addition, Mo'er's cooking was very satisfying, so she immediately decided to take her with her.

"My family doesn't know. I haven't seen my family for several years, and I don't know where I was taken." Mo'er's eyes suddenly turned red.

Xu Yihuan calmly smoothed things over and said, "If there is a chance in the future, I can help you find out. If we are still alive, we can always meet."

When Mo'er heard this, the dark clouds on her face immediately dispersed.

Xu Yihuan:
  The expression on his face changed too quickly.
