Mu Nanshan looked at her frustrated look, trying not to laugh, but he was so suffocated that he finally managed to hold it back, and said slowly: "What? You girl, you think I can't bear to part with these few taels of silver." ?”
Chun Ya suddenly looked expectant: "Then the general promised to reward the slave? What reward?"
Mu Nanshan was in a good mood, and without calling Lao Xu in, he directly took the silver chopsticks he had just used from the table, wiped them, and then sent them to Chun Ya: "Take your reward."
"Yes! Thank you, General! Thank you, General!" Chun Ya was so happy that she hurriedly took the pair of silver chopsticks and weighed them in her hands. She found two or three taels, which were enough to cover her monthly salary for half a year. She happily put away the silver chopsticks, then kowtowed to Mu Nanshan and said, "Thank you so much, General! I will make crab roe tofu for the General every day from now on!"
Mu Nanshan couldn't help it anymore, and smiled with his lips in his hands: "And then come here every day to ask for rewards?"
"Hehe, it doesn't have to be so much," Chunya scratched her head a little embarrassedly and smiled sheepishly at Mu Nanshan, "General, once a year is enough."
Mu Nanshan said with a smile: "You are not greedy."
"My mother said, you can't be greedy, otherwise it will be a fight between bears and sticks..." Chun Ya continued, and then she was so busy that she covered her own mouth, and kowtowed to Mu Nanshan in panic, "My slave's words are vulgar. , please forgive me, General."
"You are right," Mu Nanshan didn't have any anger on his face. Instead, there was a smile on his brows and eyes, "Get up quickly."
"Hey!" Chun Ya responded crisply and got up from the ground.
…
Mu Nanshan and Chun Ya chatted for a while and were in a good mood. Chun Ya received the gift and left happily. Mu Nanshan sat on the soft couch and looked through the window at Chun Ya running out. In the dull general's mansion, Chun Ya's emerald green robe, which was still old but not new, was unusually bright and dazzling.
~~~~~~~
This was the first time that Mu Nanshan was so looking forward to a meal. He spent the entire afternoon reminiscing about the taste of the bowl of crab roe tofu. From time to time, he looked at the sky outside, looking forward to darkening. There were times when he couldn't help but want to ask Lao Xu when he would have lunch. , after all, he was still embarrassed, but Lao Xu was also very discerning, and he could see that Mu Nanshan was in a good mood. Thinking about the dishes and bowls that he had eaten cleanly at noon, he naturally understood Mu Nanshan’s thoughts. I made a rough guess.
So when Mu Nanshan was leisurely flipping through the book, Lao Xu seemed to casually talk about Chunya's life experience.
"That girl Chun Ya has a really hard life. Her father has died a long time ago, and only her mother is left in the family to depend on each other, but her life is still okay. Opening this small restaurant in the city is, after all, a family tradition. The restaurant is not It’s big, but the business is good. If their business is good, other restaurants’ business is not so good. Naturally, many people are envious of their craftsmanship.” Lao Xu said slowly while pouring tea for Mu Nanshan, “That’s in the small city. The largest restaurant was owned by the prefect's brother-in-law. He was envious of Chunya's craftsmanship and coveted Chunya's beauty, so he thought of taking Chunya as his concubine. However, he was in his fifties and was much older than Chunya. My parents are quite a bit older.”
Mu Nanshan frowned slightly, but his eyes were still staring at the "Qinghai Scenery" in his hand.
Lao Xu handed over the tea cup while looking at Mu Nanshan's face, and then continued: "The old man has always been domineering because of his brother-in-law who is the prefect. Naturally, Chun Ya and his wife have no way to fight against her. It's just that Chun Ya is so difficult and can't follow that." Old man, that old man saw that Chun Ya refused to eat anything, so he had people destroy Chun Ya's restaurant. Someone broke Chun Ya's leg when she was protecting the restaurant. The neighbors couldn't bear to protect Chun Ya. The two of them were beaten and became lame. Later, the old man told her that if no doctor could treat Chun Ya's mother, she would just wait for Chun Ya to come to her door. Chun Ya really had no choice but to make up her mind to find the old man. , but Chun Ya Niang stopped her, saying that if Chun Ya went to find the old man, she would bite her tongue and commit suicide.
