Wash the red beans and put them into the pot, add water and a small amount of rock sugar, and boil over high heat. When customers place an order, serve some of the cooked red bean soup separately, add glutinous rice dumplings and boil again.

Finally, guests can decide whether to add more sugar according to their taste.

simple.

The soup is sweet and refreshing without being greasy, and the glutinous rice dumplings are chewy. These red bean dumplings are Fengling’s favorite dessert.

However, more than a decade has passed and things and people have changed.

After hearing the news of Feng Ling's father's death, Uncle Wu also lamented.

"Back then, your father was a good official, an honest official! Even our neighbors couldn't stand it. A local governor of the fourth rank, everyone knows, is a lucrative job, but Lord Feng is incorruptible, supervising all matters in Gouwu City. Alas, he still couldn't resist the exclusion of the powerful. Miss Feng, you should not know these old stories. When you were born, Lord Feng was no longer an official."

If Feng Ling hadn't found this information when investigating herself on Rhodes Island, she really wouldn't have known that her father had such an experience.

Moreover, when you are young, you don’t understand a lot. For a child, being able to understand some of the ways of the world is already a great thing.

At this point, finding your old home is naturally not a difficult task.

After chatting with Uncle Wu for a while, Feng Ling said goodbye.

"Ms. Feng, are you going to leave again after coming back this time?" Uncle Wu asked.

During the chat, Feng Ling spoke in an extraordinary manner and was quite well-mannered and polite in her every move, which left a very good impression on the old shop owner.

"I no longer belong here, although I will remember that my roots are here." Feng Ling said with a smile, "Fallen leaves may not return to their roots. They may also be blown away by the wind, flying to the stars and drifting to the sea. This time I come back just to take a look and visit my friends. I won't stay for too long."

"Good, good! The greedy girl back then now has great ambitions! Lord Feng, you really have a good daughter." Uncle Wu nodded repeatedly, even with some nostalgic tears in his eyes, and bowed to Feng Ling.

Following the somewhat familiar road, Feng Ling finally found her old home.

Gently touching the familiar door panel, there is only a light layer of dust.

More than a decade of wind and rain have not caused this house to fall into disrepair.

It was obvious that someone was helping to maintain these houses.

He took out an old key from his bag and opened the door effortlessly.

Pushing the door open, the not-so-big courtyard still looks the same as I remember.

"At least I don't have to clean up weeds or anything." Feng Ling sighed.

The condition of the house was much better than expected, but it also showed that it was often taken care of.

Just maintaining the old appearance will require some manpower and resources.

Since there was no need to clean, Feng Ling went straight through the front hall and came to the backyard.

There are some carefully designed bonsai, rockery and ponds in the backyard.

There are some koi fish swimming in the pond.

The small scenery is as beautiful as a painting.

This is probably the place in the entire Feng family mansion that cost the most money.

Next to the pond is a small nameless tombstone.

Just like the one that is currently in Longmen.

"You don't even want to take my name. You two... Sigh."

The couple adhered to this belief throughout.

The tombstone is nameless, but some things will be engraved in the hearts of other people.

Feng Ling brushed off some dust on the tombstone, lit the incense she brought with her, placed it quietly in front of the tombstone, and leaned over to kowtow three times.

"Mom, Dad isn't here, or... you may have been reunited. I came to see you."

Feng Ling could not leave any deep impression on her mother.

Sitting in this picturesque and exquisite scenery, Feng Ling was stunned for a while.

Chapter 144 Overturning the verdict

Feng Ling returned to Gouwu City just to take a look at this old house.

After watching it, you will go to Niweng Town and climb Huiqi Mountain to find your friends.

But the current state of the house made Feng Ling decide to wait a little longer.

"Calculating the time, it should be almost done."

Sitting in the reception room, Feng Ling didn't have to wait long.

"Boom, boom!"

There was a gentle knock on the door of the mansion.

After opening the door, Feng Ling smiled politely, but that smile seemed far away.

"It is a great honor for the prefect to come to my humble home. I am truly flattered."

There are two people outside the door.

One of them was a middle-aged man, wearing official uniform, with a stern face and neatly groomed hair and beard.

Feng Ling will never forget this face.

Gou Wucheng's prefect has remained here for more than ten years.

From a macro perspective, given his achievements, he should have been promoted long ago.

The other person is an old man with white hair and beard, dragon horns on his head and a dragon tail behind him. Under his black official robe, one can see a red official uniform with dragon patterns. The sword hidden at his waist also looks quite extraordinary.

Perhaps it would have been a good choice to slip away earlier.

Feng Ling sighed inwardly.

With a physique that easily gets involved in trouble, I thought that in Da Yan, where there would definitely be no accidents, there would be no room for me to play a role.

Feng Ling was not aware of this. To Dayan, her existence itself was a trouble.

And it's a hassle worth some big shots stepping in to trouble you.

Feng Ling bowed respectfully, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply.

"Master Taifu is here in person. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope you can forgive me."

Feng Ling certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to not recognize the current Grand Tutor of Dayan.

In particular, this Grand Tutor often visited some areas inadvertently to deal with troubles in Yan State.

Naturally, his appearance had long been recorded by various intelligence sources.

To be honest, Feng Ling was sweating profusely at this moment.

Feng Ling really didn't expect that a big shot of this level would appear in front of her.

Feng Ling had never been so nervous when facing Lady Sicily.

The sense of oppression from the superiors of Da Yan is not as pure and straightforward as the violence of Lady Sicily.

This is a heavy, vicissitudes of life feeling that makes others feel insignificant.

"This girl is quite interesting. She doesn't pay much attention to you, the local prefect, but is very polite to an old man like me."

Although the Taifu's face was solemn, the atmosphere between his words was not so stiff.

The prefect of Gouwu City smiled bitterly and shook his head without explaining.

When it comes to serious business, we still have to be serious.

Waving his hand, he rejected Feng Ling's invitation to come in, and the Grand Tutor said loudly, "Girl, do you have any objection to the expulsion of Feng Qingzheng from Gouwu City thirteen years ago?"

"I dare not have any objection." After Feng Ling answered, she raised her head and looked into the eyes of the old man in front of her.

The events of the past came to mind and Feng Ling was no longer nervous.

Originally, she came back to ask for an explanation. Even if the other party was the current Taifu, the emperor's teacher, Feng Ling would not back down on these matters.

This kind of personality is naturally somewhat inherited.

"But, just because I don't dare to object, I am naturally indignant in my heart."

Such words, dared to be said directly in front of the Grand Tutor, according to the tradition of Yan State, can be regarded as "high treason".

There is no problem even using this as a direct punishment.

"What are you dissatisfied with?" There was already a sharp murderous look in the Taifu's eyes.

"I'm just a young child, and I feel very sad about leaving my hometown, the destruction of my family, and the separation from my best friends without saying goodbye. How can I accept such things calmly?" Feng Ling asked loudly without any fear.

"Feng Ling, don't be rude!" the prefect scolded.

If this is not stopped, Feng Ling’s life may be in danger at any time.

"Rude? If you need me to put on a hypocritical laugh and laugh off what happened back then, I can do it. But is that the result you want? Is that the result I want? The great Yan state shouldn't allow people to bow their heads like that!" Feng Ling raised her head and looked at the person in front of her. Even if the other person wanted to kill her, she would just nod.

Facing the highly respected Grand Tutor in the court, Feng Ling remained calm.

"Humph." The Grand Master snorted coldly, but his expression was slightly relieved. "Such a strong girl is rare nowadays. She has the character of our Great Yan!"

"What happened back then was an order from us. If you violated the iron order and had any contact with the fragments of the Year Beast without permission, you should be executed immediately according to the law. However, considering that Feng Qingzheng has been honest and upright throughout his life, I will change it so that Feng Qingzheng will be punished on my behalf. Feng Qingzheng will be expelled from Gouwu City and is not allowed to set foot in Gouwu City again. Other officials in the court are not allowed to have any contact with him during the punishment period."

"The punishment for Feng Qingzheng has been completed. Gou Wucheng has also tracked down the group of despicable people who persecuted Feng Qingzheng and forced him to retire. Now Feng Qingzheng is posthumously awarded the title of Deputy Chief Censor, a third-rank official, and a statue of integrity is erected. His daughter can enjoy the treatment he deserves."

The Master announced in a loud voice.

That was the situation back then.

Now, everything has been resolved.

Feng Ling felt mixed emotions.

She doesn't care too much about the treatment now.

It cleared his father's reputation, and it was announced personally by the Grand Tutor of the time.

That's it.

The wind chimes put my mind at ease.

"I am back now, and will go to look for the fragments of the Sui beast you mentioned. What do you think?" Feng Ling asked.

The Grand Tutor just looked at Feng Ling calmly and seriously without saying anything.

A little silence.

Feng Ling understood.

"I, Feng Ling, formally apply to the Grand Tutor to go and visit my good friend, Xi."

"You have good comprehension." The old man smiled slightly and nodded approvingly. "Iron laws cannot be violated. This is one of the important reasons why Da Yan has been prosperous until now. But as the iron laws have developed to this day, there are naturally many ways to act according to the laws, allowing you to do things properly."

As long as there is a formal registration application, some exceptions are acceptable.

What's more, the existence of the wind chime itself is a special case.

"Go ahead. The little sister of the Sui Beast family has been waiting for you for more than ten years."

After paying respect to the Grand Tutor, Feng Ling looked at the prefect of Gou Wucheng with a complicated look, and then paid respect as well.

This time I really mean it.

"Thank you, Lord Prefect, for maintaining my family's residence for so many years."

The situation of the house is not difficult to guess.

"Brother Feng's spirit tablet... is it still in Longmen?" the prefect asked with a sad look on his face.

Now that the punishment has been completed, everything should return to normal, but things and people have changed, and those who have left are left with only posthumous titles.

"Just like my mother, we are both nameless monuments, with clean hands and no money, and we don't even want to take our names with us." Feng Ling replied.

It was not until this moment that Feng Ling finally understood why her father chose the nameless monument for her.

Although the monument has no name, everyone has kept it in mind.

The Grand Tutor and the Prefect were both somewhat moved.

When they parted, they bowed again, then Feng Ling turned around and headed towards her next destination.
