Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 32 Too Long a Time for the Brain
"You wouldn't have replaced my top scholar position just to win, especially since Gu Yunyi is Elder Shen's disciple, would you?"

Huang Boyang looked at Magistrate Huang with suspicion.

"Insolence!" Magistrate Huang's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said sternly, "The imperial examination is a matter of great importance to the country. How could your father do such a thing? Do you think your father's head has been sitting on the wall for too long?"

Huang Boyang immediately quieted down, pursed his lips slightly, and said in a low voice,

"You claim to be innocent, but those people aren't. If..."

"Watch your mouth! What business is it of yours what other people do? Keep your mouth shut." Magistrate Huang glared at him.

Huang Boyang finally shut up.

As Madam Huang looked at the scene before her, she realized that whenever they met, the atmosphere was always so tense. Just as she was about to say something to ease the tension, she smelled a tempting aroma.

"What new dishes did the kitchen make tonight?"

"Replying to Madam, it was brought back by the young master from outside. He said it was braised food, both meat and vegetarian. I just heated them up separately, and the aroma is extremely strong. It smells incredibly fragrant," the butler said.

Huang Boyang also remembered and said, "Mother, this was made by Gu Family Restaurant, by Gu Yunyi's wife. Not only this, but they also make different ones in the morning and at noon. They say there are always a lot of people queuing up to buy it every day, so I bought some of everything so I can try it out."

Magistrate Huang already had a very good impression of Old Shen, even though he had never met him. Upon hearing that the food came from Gu Family Restaurant, he started eating before Huang Boyang could even finish explaining.
He picked up a piece of pork intestine with his chopsticks and exclaimed, "Hmm, this pork intestine is soft, chewy, and has no fishy smell at all!" After taking a bite, Magistrate Huang praised it highly.

I then picked up a piece of pig's trotter. The skin was a soft, glutinous brown color, but it wasn't mushy or lacking in chewiness. Instead, it had a firm yet tender texture, and one bite was bursting with the flavor of the sauce.

"This tastes absolutely wonderful!" Magistrate Huang exclaimed, praising it highly.

Seeing this, Huang Boyang also became interested and picked up some to try. It was indeed delicious. The braised meat and pig's trotters were not greasy and were very tender. The chicken and duck were not dry either, and the vegetarian dishes also had a different flavor. It was very good.

Of course, in the end, only one thing was left: pork intestines, which was eaten by Magistrate Huang alone.

"Father, I've heard that this fatty intestine is made from pig's large intestine, cleaned and processed. You really dare to eat it?"

When Madam Huang heard the word "pig intestines," her expression immediately became somewhat uncomfortable. By the end, she couldn't help but look at Magistrate Huang.

However, after hearing this, she was still hesitant to try it. It wasn't that it tasted bad, but the image that flashed through her mind was a little... disgusting.

Magistrate Huang, however, calmly picked up another piece of food with his chopsticks. "Don't judge a book by its cover. If you won't eat it, I will."

So the two men watched as this magistrate of Quan County stuffed small pieces of fatty intestine into his mouth, his expression unreadable, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
But even the closest people could tell that it must taste amazing, otherwise they wouldn't have kept eating it without transferring it.

Huang Boyang looked at his mother and asked, "Want to try some?"

Madam Huang glanced at her son, then at her husband, and thought, "That's fine too."

Anyway, someone has already tried it, so the taste shouldn't be too hard to accept. Some things, once you start, are easy to get used to.

A moment later, three pairs of chopsticks devoured a plate of braised pork intestines in no time.

Madam Huang, still feeling unsatisfied, gave her son a reproachful look and said, "Why did you only buy this little bit? You should have bought two or three more pounds."

Huang Boyang read his mother's complaints and thought to himself, "I didn't go there to buy food."

Magistrate Huang took a sip of tea to wash away the taste in his mouth before speaking.
"What you see is not necessarily the truth. Gu Yunyi was previously unknown, but he was still accepted as a disciple by Elder Shen. He must have his own extraordinary abilities. Now that he is known to everyone, he will be surrounded whenever he shows his face. It is not surprising that he used the excuse of studying."

"Then does that mean I'll never see him?"

Magistrate Huang glanced at him sideways and said, "You lost the bet. Instead of preparing for the prefectural examination and trying to prove yourself to Elder Shen, what are you thinking, always looking for trouble?"

Huang Boyang muttered under his breath, "I just wanted to secretly see what kind of person Gu Yunyi is, and what he has that makes Yunyi so attached to him."
"Stealthily observing? That's despicable!" Magistrate Huang's face darkened, clearly displeased. "A scholar should have an upright character; how could he do such a despicable thing?"

"Okay, okay, I get it."

Magistrate Huang snorted coldly and said nothing more. In fact, he had already learned about this Gu Yunyi from Elder Shen. Elder Shen's newly accepted disciple was from a poor family, and Elder Shen had revealed that he would marry Yunyi to him.

He knew his own son well. He had always regarded Yunyi as his own sister since childhood. Even if she were a noble young master from the capital, he felt that she might not be good enough for Shen Yunyi, let alone this farmer's son. Now, not only did he fail to get the top score in the exam, but he also learned that Gu Yunyi was getting married. He must be feeling very upset.

Old Shen had this idea because he was confident in Gu Yunyi and felt that he would definitely achieve great things in the future. In addition, he was Gu Yunyi's teacher and would treat Yunyi well in the future. If he had known that Gu Yunyi was getting married, he would definitely have given up this idea.

The appearance of Gu Yunyi is just right to temper his son's arrogance and make him more composed.

Gu Yunyi was unaware that Magistrate Huang, whom he had never met, held him in such high regard. Meanwhile, the Gu family had finished their dinner and were preparing to rest.

Just as Xu Qingmeng was about to go back to her room to sleep, Yun Sheng suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law, will you be sleeping in the same room as my brother tonight?"

The three adults were stunned.

Xu Qingmeng couldn't help but look at Madam He. Could it be that Madam He taught her?
However, when she looked at Madam He, Madam He was also confused. She looked at Gu Yunyi again, wondering if it was him. Then she thought it was impossible, since Gu Yunyi was avoiding her like the plague.
Xu Qingmeng saw that he was also taken aback, then squatted down and asked,

Why would Yun Sheng ask that?

"It's just...it's just..." Yun Sheng stammered, not daring to say it.

"What is it? What happened?" she coaxed softly. "Sister-in-law is so good to Yun Sheng, but Yun Sheng has a secret from her? Sister-in-law is so heartbroken!"

Yun Sheng glanced at Xu Qingmeng, then pursed her lips. "Grandma Wang said that other people's brothers and sisters-in-law sleep together. If a sister-in-law doesn't sleep with her brother, she's destined to leave and won't want us anymore."
