food color and fragrance

Chapter 109
A lot has happened in the past three years, even though there are not so many bumble bees buzzing around, Sanskrit has not been idle.

Fang county magistrate was transferred to Beijing, and the new county magistrate was surnamed Cao. He was an old man in his fifties and three years old. He was a pedantic nerd. He escaped a catastrophe, because County Magistrate Cao found that nothing could be done without Master Yang's coordination, but County Captain Zhang was completely incompatible with this county magistrate.

The reason is very simple, Zhang Xianwei has a bold and unconstrained personality, and looks down on the poor calculations of sour literati;

County magistrate Cao is full of words, and he is a literati, and he can't look down on the arrogance of Zhang Xianwei's open-mouthed Laozi and closed-mouthed Laozi.

Therefore, in the past three years, Zhang Xianwei has been rectified by Cao County Magistrate repeatedly, and Zhang County Lieutenant has also picked up his son one after another. At critical moments, Cao County Magistrate is always unable to come to Taiwan, and his father can't coordinate among them, so he simply ignores it. Let the unreliable county magistrate and Zhang county captain make trouble.

Although the county magistrate also has one, but this person is basically sent to provide for the elderly. He is sick for three days and two days. It is said that he is the uncle of some official wife. He only takes two taels of silver and the welfare of the county government. Just live, without any wishful thinking.

In this way, Yang Zhiyuan was in charge of all the affairs of the county government. On the contrary, the official reputation was quite good, and the days became more and more prosperous.

Qing Miao has already been confiscated and became the first aunt, but apart from hiring a woman and two servants, the family has not added any more people, so Qing Miao often helps with housework, and does not care about her. Treat yourself as a half-master.

Caiyun has never left the Yang family. Three years later, she has grown into a girl in her teens. Apart from the occasional slow brain response, she has learned kitchen skills, writing and arithmetic, and sometimes helps Calculate the expenses at home.

Sanskrit is busy with the noodle shop. Before that, she changed the noodle making into an assembly line. Zhao Yang and the others became more and more mature in their craftsmanship. They also trained two batches of staff, who worked on three shifts in turn. The noodle shop became a celebration It is the first city in the city and county that does not sleep at night, so business is booming day and night, and the shop has expanded five times before.

The money was whizzing into his pocket, and Fanyin was not in a hurry to do other things, because his father had been working for almost four years, and it was time for the official examination.

Originally, Yang Zhiyuan didn't care much about this matter, as long as he kept his position as chief bookkeeper, he would be satisfied, but just a few days ago, Fang Qingyuan suddenly sent someone from Beijing to send a letter, asking Yang Zhiyuan if he would like to come to Beijing. The younger brother is willing to help him with all his strength!

This letter was like throwing a small pebble in the calm lake of the heart, and the rippling water splashed continuously, which made Yang Zhiyuan lose sleep for several nights.

Fanyin once asked, why did County Magistrate Fang suddenly think of Dad after more than three years?

Yang Zhiyuan's answer was very intriguing. The reason why Fang Qingyuan sought him out was very simple. First, Fang Qingyuan lacked people in Beijing, and second, there was no one behind him.

Sanskrit curled her lips. For her, there was nothing attractive about going to the capital except to find out about the whereabouts of Mr. Wu Nan.But his father was obviously ready to move.

Sanskrit didn't ask any more questions, but just started to prepare money for his family. Although going to Beijing is not considered a bribe, the gift that should be given is indispensable for leaving. If there is less money, why should we go?It's better to live happily in a small county town.

When it was time for dinner, Yang Zhiyuan came back from the county government office. Qing Miao stepped forward to help him change his clothes and clean his hands. Yang Zhiyuan took a sip of tea with a smile and said, "Wen Gu's status as a child has been taken down. Alas, if I had known this would happen, I would have done it back then." It's better to ask Zhang Xianwei to save face and ask for one directly from Fang County Magistrate, how can it be as troublesome as it is now!"

"Father would say that, and I'm not afraid that Magistrate Cao will criticize you for disrespecting a saint!" Sanskrit deliberately teased, but Yang Zhiyuan didn't take it seriously, "I really can't afford to make trouble, not to mention that Wen Gu already has the level of a child. Saints are not to blame."

Qing Miao sang tea for Yang Zhiyuan without saying a word, Fanyin couldn't help sighing when he thought of Zhang Xianwei, in fact, the child's birth only needs to be approved by the county magistrate, but the county magistrate Cao made things difficult for Zhang Xianwei, so even the second fat man fell in love with him. Being implicated, he could obviously get the status of a child, but the county magistrate Cao refused to give it.

Now this time I can get it smoothly, maybe what kind of price it took.

Yang Zhiyuan was also full of emotion. Putting this matter aside, he watched the Sanskrit sound for a while, "Do you know that Zhong Xingyan came back a few days ago to perform the anniversary ceremony for General Huaiyuan and his mother?"

Sanskrit's mood dropped. Last year, General Huaiyuan passed away from a serious illness. Zhong Xingyan had just sent away his biological mother. Now he has to keep mourning for General Huaiyuan for three years. What kind of fate is this man?

He also nearly died in the previous battle with Xixia, and managed to return to Beijing alive. Although he had received higher titles one after another, General Huaiyuan's serious illness was intractable, and he couldn't get over it. Before he died, he asked to be buried with his wife, so it was A funeral held in Qingcheng County.

Now there are only him and her eldest sister in the Zhong family, and two uncles. It is said that the relationship is extremely bad.

"How would I know that now people don't step out of the gate, if they were young before, they would show their faces all day long, but now their hair is growing, and they are getting older, and the eyes of the county magistrate Cao are staring at us. At home, my daughter seldom inquires about things outside." Fanyin was telling the truth...

Yang Zhiyuan sighed with emotion, "I saw him once, and the County Magistrate Cao deliberately dragged him to kowtow to General Huaiyuan. He...has grown up too."

"No matter how old you are, you still have that heartless appearance." Fanyin paused, "Has he left?"

"I've already left, and I asked my father to tell you that he misses your Su Zhai." Yang Zhiyuan smiled, and Sanskrit curled his lips and stopped mentioning this person.

Early the next morning, the second fat man brought Liu An to Fanyin's place early.

More than three years later, the little chubby dun'er has become a middle-fat dun'er, with two front teeth lost, the wind leaks when he talks, and the dew drips when he eats soup, but he still grinned happily and shouted loudly: "I'm pregnant!" Sister Liu, I am a child!"

Fanyin looked at him and smiled, this boy was tall both horizontally and vertically, he was only half a head shorter than her at the age of eight, it was very convenient to play his head before, but now he still raises his hands.

"Tongsheng is nothing special, anyway, you have to earn a reputation as a scholar to dare to go out and brag about it!" Fanyin asked Caiyun to pour him two cups of warm drinks. Although it was spring, the spring breeze was biting, and this little guy was afraid cold.

Er Fatty raised his head and said: "Father said, this time I can get the name of a child by relying on Mr., I want to buy Mr. a drink. I was originally asked to bring it, but it is too heavy for me to carry."

"Smelly boy, it's too heavy to carry wine, and you don't even look at this fat man. Vegetarian dishes are the main dishes today, so you should give up meat!" Sanskrit Yin told Caiyun, "Let's have lunch at noon today. Vegan!"

Er Pang's little face drooped immediately, and after being depressed for a while, he followed Sanskrit into the room to read and write. While writing, he suddenly stopped writing, "Sister Huailiu, my elder brother is coming back!"

Zhang Wenqing?Fanyin remembered that he had met him a few years ago, but it was only in a hurry and he was in a hurry to return to the army.

What's the matter coming back now?

"Is there a vacation to take?" Fanyin looked at Erpang, who shook his head, "I don't know what's going on, I just heard what my mother said in the morning, it seems to be for some kind of marriage?"

"You talk about marriage at such a young age, you really know a lot!" Sanskrit pinched his ear, Er Fatty smiled slyly, turned his head and continued writing.

Fanyin couldn't help sighing, even she has more than half a year to reach her birthday, and she has already started to be targeted by all the matchmakers, let alone Zhang Wenqing?He is already full this year, and it is time to get married.

Zhang Wenqing quickly returned from the army, and rushed to Zhang Xianwei's house as soon as he entered the door.

He was about to open his mouth to ask why he was engaged to marry him, but he could hear Zhang Xianwei coughing and wheezing, as well as the white hair on his temples, Zhang Wenqing reproached him and stopped him, standing at the door and staring blankly.

Zhang Xianwei hadn't fully woken up from the wine last night, he shook his head and looked up, and said in a low voice, "I'm back."

"Father," Zhang Wenqing sighed, looked around for a while and poured a cup of strong tea, "I don't want to be engaged to the captain's daughter."

"This matter cannot tolerate you." Zhang Xianwei said in a muffled voice: "I am your father, and I have the final say on this matter!"

"I like Huai Liu!" Zhang Wenqing was a little excited, "You already knew about this, why did you force me to marry another woman? At the beginning you said that Huai Liu and I were young, and my son went to the army, and then you said that I If I have no achievements, I will do my best to gain merits, and now I am no longer a soldier who sticks to the border, what do you want from me?"

"Then what's so good about Yang Huailiu? A little girl can cook some delicious dishes, which doesn't meet the standards of our daughter-in-law at all. You still have to give up this idea. The captain also appreciates you and is willing to share with us. If you get married at home, you can be regarded as climbing a high branch, what more do you want?"

Zhang Wenqing was completely shocked by Zhang Xianwei's words, "Father! My son has obeyed you in everything, can't you let him choose a wife he likes?"

"Stinky boy, you are so courageous that you dare to bargain with me. You have to marry whoever I ask you to marry. You still want to be satisfied, but I am not satisfied yet. Get out!" Zhang Xianwei waved his hands, and the table The teacups and wine cups on the table all fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Zhang Wenqing backed away again and again in shock, his heart was filled with indescribable sadness and bewilderment, he couldn't understand why his father refused to allow him to marry Yang Huailiu, why?
Mrs. Zhang listened at the door for a while, and saw her son retreating from the room, her tears also fell down, "Son, don't blame your father, you can't blame him for this, huh?"

"Why? Why is this? Why don't you say it?"

Zhang Wenqing suppressed the hysteria in his heart and ran out crazily. Mrs. Zhang chased after him for a few steps but did not call him back.

Back in the house, Mrs. Zhang tidied up the desk case for Captain Zhang, and complained: "Master, why are you doing this?"

"Yang Zhiyuan is going to Beijing!" County Captain Zhang said sadly, "He is going to Beijing..."
