Song Wangyue didn’t hide it and told what happened on the mountain, lowering her voice and saying, “Maybe it was because I said the tragic appearance of Gu Yi when she died that scared sister Qi, and that’s why she ……”
The family had never even mentioned the word “Gu” since the Gu family’s accident, for fear that Yue’er would be sad, but that confused old man, not only did he mention it, he even took Qi Ying with him to the mountain.
This is because Lao San is not here, if he were, he would have beaten him with a broom and sent him running around the yard.
“I don’t blame you, she is too timid, let’s not mention her anymore, give grandma what you want to eat, grandma will make it for you.”
In later times, on the fifteenth day of the first month, they all ate dumplings, and to make them you needed glutinous rice, which she had enquired about years ago, but the shops in the county did not sell it, “Let’s have dumplings, with cabbage and meat, with more meat.”
As long as her granddaughter no longer thought about Gu Yi, not to mention eating dumplings, even if she went to a restaurant, Grandma Song would immediately let Song Lin go to the car.
“Good, good, let’s have dumplings, grandma will go and make the noodles now.”
After saying this, she greeted the family and they all came out of the house, choosing vegetables and making the noodles, all busy.
“Old people’s ……”
The first thing you need to do is to go to the house of the oldest one and send him some rice and noodles, and tell them that the workshop will be opening soon, so I won’t have time to go there, so they can hire someone to cook for them.”
Xu didn’t hear what Song Wangyue had just said to Grandma Song. She also lowered her voice and asked, “Is something wrong?”
She had seen her mother-in-law’s face look a little bad when she came in just now.
“Old San, the one with no mouth, mentioned Gu Yi, and Qi Ying didn’t dissuade her, and even followed her to the mountain. As a result, Qi Ying got scared and insisted that Lao San go back today.”
After all, the girl had the right look, the right body and the right martial arts skills, and there was no one else in the whole Qingping County. But she was more concerned about her own granddaughter. Old San was a jerk and had no sense of propriety, but you, Qi Ying, were very sensible, why didn’t you advise her?
Hearing this from Grandma Song, Xu was also a little upset, “I know, we’ll go over and talk to them tomorrow.”
Before it was even dark, the restaurant’s staff brought the carriage and respectfully said to Song Wan Yue, “Dongjia, Boss Jin said that if you are okay, please come over tomorrow.”
“I know.”
The following day after breakfast, Song Lin set up the carriage and rushed to the county town.
At the same time, an inconspicuous carriage also entered Qingping County, the curtain was slightly lifted and the man inside looked out.
A place so poor that he would never have come to such a place in his life if it wasn’t for Song Wan Yue.
“Go to the county office.”
The county magistrate had just changed into his official uniform and was about to go to the back office first to deal with matters when a magistrate hurried in, “Your Excellency, a gongzi has come outside, asking to see you by name.”
For some reason, the county magistrate’s heart jolted, “Has he identified himself?”
“I asked, he didn’t say, he just asked me to come in to report, I saw that he didn’t look like an ordinary person, so I hurried over.”
“Please go to the back court.”
The magistrate answered and turned and darted to meet him.
The magistrate took a deep breath, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, and hurried to the back yard as well, and had just sat down when the magistrate led the men over.
The county magistrate steadied his mind, gestured for the magistrate to go down, and asked, “I wonder if the gentleman ……”
The words were not finished when the guard beside the visitor pulled out a token and held it up in front of him. The county eunuch knelt down in horror, “My humble servant wishes to see the Second Prince.”
The second prince went to the main seat and sat down, “Get up.”
The magistrate rose with trepidation.
The Second Prince’s voice came like a thunderbolt blasting in his ears, “This palace has heard that you and Song Wan Yue are acquainted?”
The County Magistrate’s legs went limp and he almost retreated again as he replied with a trembling voice, “Yes.”
The second prince glanced at him, such a useless person, in the past he would not even look at him, before anything happened, and his head was full of cold sweat.
“This palace wants to see her, you think of getting the person here.”
Song Wan Yue did not know that the Second Prince had come to Qingping County. After entering the county, Song Lin sent her to the tavern first, before she and Xu went to Song San Xiao’s house.
“Dongjia.”
Song Wan Yue was welcomed in by Boss Jin, whose mouth had never closed since the restaurant opened on the tenth day of the first month and was full every day.
Once inside, he personally poured tea for Song Wan Yue and brought it to her hands, sitting down at the bottom, “I’ve been thinking about sending a letter to the Grand Master in the past few days, asking him to send some chefs from Jiangnan over, what do you think?”
He had always taken Song Wan Yue’s words from a year ago to heart, and was always thinking about how to solve the problem, so he came up with this solution. Besides, the people in the restaurant did not have relatives in Jiangnan, and if they invited people here, the name alone would last for some days.
“It’s a good idea, but there’s no need to go to the letter, I’ll accompany my maternal great-grandfather and grandmother on a trip to Jiangnan in a couple of months, I’ll talk to my uncle and grandfather then.”
Boss Jin was about to say something when the mate reported at the door, “Boss, there is someone outside looking for you.”
Boss Jin got up, “Sit down first, I’ll go out and see.”
The person who came was Sheriff Zhang, he had been ordered by the county magistrate to invite Song Wangyue to the Song family village, when he passed by the restaurant he had an extra eye to ask if Song Wangyue would come over today.
“Sheriff Zhang.”
The restaurant had been under the care of Sheriff Zhang, and Master Jin was very polite to him.
“Shopkeeper Jin.”
Sheriff Zhang arched his hand, not feeling in the least that this lowered his status, “I came over to ask if Miss Song will be coming over today?”
“Are you looking for our proprietor?”
“I thought I’d ask if Song Wan Yue would be coming over today, so I’d wait a bit, in case I got sidetracked on the way.”
The gold shopkeeper knew that the county magistrate was looking after the Song family and said with a smile, “You’re really in time, our proprietor has just arrived.”
Sheriff Zhang was also pleased, “That’s really good, it’s free of footwork.”
Master Jin led him to the back to meet Song Wan Yue.
When she heard that the county magistrate was looking for her, Song Wan Yue got up, “Boss Jin, my parents are here, ask them to wait for me here, I’ll be back soon.”
Mr. Jin answered.
Song Wan Yue went with Sheriff Zhang to the magistrate’s office.
When she saw Sheriff Zhang leading her to the back office, she was puzzled and said with a smile, “I can only do business, I don’t know how to investigate cases.”
Sheriff Zhang also smiled, “Don’t worry, Miss Song, you won’t be asked to investigate a case.”
“Then I’ll be relieved.”
As the words fell, when they reached the back yard, Sheriff Zhang stood at the door to report, “Master, Miss Song is here.”
The county magistrate’s voice came out from inside, “Hurry up and invite her in.”
Sheriff Zhang lifted the curtain, but Song Wan Yue was standing still.
She could hear clearly that the county magistrate’s voice was trembling a little, if he could make him do that, it was either a big case or there was someone inside who wanted to see her that he didn’t dare to offend.
