Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 440 She Knows
The next morning, as soon as Wen and Liang Jiujiu walked out of the room, they felt something unusual in the courtyard.

The noise was particularly loud coming from the direction of the kitchen.

Seeing Wen's confusion, Liang Jiujiu called over there, "Mancang!"

Mancang poked his head out from the kitchen and asked, "What's wrong, auntie?"

"Who's in the kitchen?" Liang Jiujiu asked.

"Master, Master is making breakfast." Mancang's head shrank back again, and soon he ran to the two of them with an empty bowl in his hand. "Master said that we'll have dinner as soon as the buns are out of the pot. Please wait in the dining hall in front of the yamen."

Liang Jiujiu and Wen's eyes met and they joked, "We are able to eat the breakfast made by Chang Qing thanks to Miss Mo."

Mrs. Wen patted Liang Jiujiu's hand, who was supporting her, and said, "Then let's go meet Miss Mo."

The two men arrived at the canteen of the front yamen, and only Bafang was leaning on a chair and taking a nap. Seeing this, the two men did not wake him up, but found a stool and sat down. Bafang did not notice at all and was still snoring.

After a while, hurried footsteps were heard outside. It was Mancang running over.

"What's wrong?" asked Mrs. Wen.

Mancang looked around the room twice first, "Young Master said, let's see if this is ready. If it's ready, go and invite Miss Mo."

Liang Jiujiu said, "Just wake up Bafang and get ready."

Let’s talk about Mo Lixiao again.

Although she was tired from the journey in the past few days, she finally had a safe place to rest, but she was unfamiliar with the place and woke up early.

He waited until there was some light coming from the window before waking up Xiaojun who was lying on the couch. He then washed and dressed early in the morning, waiting for the Meng family to call him.

After Xiaojun yawned several times, Mancang ran over and said, "Ms. Mo, breakfast is ready. Come with me."

After hearing this, Xiaojun felt that this person was being too harsh, so she stood outside the door and did not ask her young lady if she was ready. Instead, she directly asked her young lady to follow her.

She concluded that the Meng family's rules were too lax.

In contrast, Mo Lixiao didn't care about these at all. She was only worried about whether Madam Meng, whom she had never met, would be willing to accept her disturbance.

She felt uneasy until she entered the dining room and saw the two women sitting at the round table.

She was stunned for a moment. Who... was Mrs. Meng? "Miss Mo." Mrs. Wen spoke first, "Please take a seat."

Mo Lixiao bowed and said, "I am Mo Lixiao, paying my respects to the two ladies."

Liang Jiujiu saw that she was pretty and graceful, with clear features, and the resentment she had towards Miss Mo disappeared immediately. She even stood up and pulled out a stool for her, "Please take a seat."

Just when Mo Lixiao was about to thank him, Meng Changqing came in with breakfast.

Rice porridge, side dishes, buns, and egg pancakes covered most of the round table.

"I haven't been to the stove for a long time, so my cooking skills are a little rusty. Please don't dislike it, Miss Mo." Meng Changqing told the other party in a roundabout way that this breakfast was made by her own hands.

As expected, Mo Li smiled and praised, “I didn’t expect that you have such skills.”

There are necessary procedures for people who don't know each other to go through before sitting down to eat together.

Meng Changqing said, "Mother, this is the daughter of the Mo family, Miss Mo who came to our county official school to study."

Mo Lixiao bowed again.

Bafang stood in the corner and yawned secretly.

Meng Changqing then introduced, "This is my mother, and this is my biological mother."

Just now, when Mo Lixiao heard how Meng Changqing addressed those two people, she had this guess in her heart. Now that it came out of Meng Changqing's mouth, she was shocked.

While paying respect to the two of them, I thought that I only knew that Young Master Meng was the posthumous son of General Meng, but I didn't know that Young Master Meng was not born to Madam Meng.

Such a secret matter was now known to her, and Mo Lixiao felt a little frightened.

With Meng Changqing around, the dinner table would naturally not be dull. She had her own topics to talk about, and she had already prepared a script from the simplest to the most complex.

He first said that the breakfast on the table was light, and then he said that the reason for the list was that Mo Lixiao's body had not yet recovered, so he let the situation take its course and transitioned to the arrangements for Mo Lixiao's life in Beishan County.

After this breakfast, the worries in Mo Lixiao's heart completely disappeared.

From then on, Mo Lixiao settled down in Beishan County. He first recuperated in the government office. After he recovered, he followed Wen to deal with trivial matters in the official school.
