It seemed that it was no longer possible to hide Lin Jinxiao's secrets. Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to confess obediently: "Indeed, Zhao Taigong's main purpose is to ask me to find out about Xiao Langjun for him."
"I'm afraid you've already accepted money from others, right?"
Lin Jinxiao asked tentatively.
Otherwise, how could she have the confidence to own such a big shop?
"I did collect the money, and I also roped in Zhao Taigong to join the gang."
Chu Nanzhi replied with a smile.
"You are quite smart."
Lin Jinxiao looked helpless.
This girl is really a calculating person. I was originally worried that she would not be able to defeat a cunning man like Taigong Zhao, but now it seems that I am overly worried.
How could such a shrewd woman like her put herself at a disadvantage?
No wonder she dared to reconcile with him so confidently, as she had been fully prepared for it.
But what made him feel heartbroken was that this girl would rather make a deal with an old man named Zhao Taigong than rely on herself.
He kissed Chu Nanzhi's forehead with some sadness, and said seriously: "Chun Nanzhi, I don't have to restrain you in whatever you want, but you have to promise me that you can't show off in anything, no matter you.
The grievances between the Chu family and the Qi family are still a matter between Zhao Taigong and Wu Enrong. The situation in Luyan Port is relatively complicated at the moment, so everything will be settled slowly."
At this point, he deliberately emphasized: "If you encounter any difficulties, I will be there for you."
She was a smart person, and he didn't want to say too thoroughly what he said next.
Zhao Taigong's family has a great business, but he is just a rich man. No matter how bad he is, he is still the parent official of Luyan Port, so how can he not protect her.
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
Chu Nanzhi nodded and replied solemnly: "The Qi family's affairs involve too many areas. In some places, your government can intervene, and in some areas, we can only rely on merchants to compete. As for Zhao Taigong's affairs, he has repeatedly asked for help.
I tried my best to try for him. This is what we agreed in the deed before. Even if it doesn't work, he can't do anything to me. At most, the money will be returned to him."
"Wu Enrong's background is not simple. I heard that his in-law family is a prominent figure in Jinling City. This person will also serve in Pingning County this year and go to Beijing to serve. If you want to move him, you can only wait until you have an official position in the court.
Try to look through old case files and everything will fall into place."
As soon as Lin Jinxiao finished speaking, he heard her stomach growl and couldn't help but frown and said, "You didn't come here without breakfast, did you?"
Chu Nanzhi smiled sarcastically: "How could I care about this? Looking at your posture last night, I thought you would die miserably in the county government office."
"Are you so worried about me?"
Lin Jinxiao curled his lips angrily, recalling her aggressive look just now. She didn't look like she was here to care about someone, but more like she was here to catch someone in the county government office.
"You wait inside for a while."
Lin Jinxiao said and hurriedly stood up and walked out.
Chu Nanzhi also got up quickly and packed up the soft mattress. Then she walked around the inner hall and looked around casually. She unconsciously recalled the intimate scene with Lin Jinxiao just now in her mind, like a spring breeze.
It's hard to describe the feeling.
But in a daze, she suddenly felt that there was something in this world that made people want to miss it.
It turns out that the feeling of falling in love with someone is so wonderful.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Lin Jinxiao walking in again, holding two kinds of food in his hand.
He put the food on the table and hurriedly came over to invite Chu Nanzhi to sit down. He handed a bowl of shrimp and tofu soup to her hand and said in a warm voice: "I made this yesterday. The cellar of the old house is not good.
For storage, I asked the cook to hide it in the cellar of the county government office. It can be kept fresh for several days. You can try it quickly."
Chu Nanzhi took the tofu soup and took a spoonful of it into her mouth. The fragrant, sweet and silky texture immediately filled her mouth. Savor it carefully and the rich jasmine fragrance is really refreshing.
She couldn't help but ask: "When did you learn to make these sweets?"
She remembered that this pretty boy didn't like sweets, but she didn't expect that he could make something he didn't like so delicious.
"When I was working as an official in Jingling City before we got married, Princess Shu bought some ingredients and brought them to my room to force her fiancée to learn how to make medicinal food. I took a look at it and wrote it down. I tried it yesterday and it seemed to be good.
good."
Lin Jinxiao also didn't expect that his unintentional move would actually come in handy now. He said proudly: "You like these medicinal foods for beauty and beauty. From now on, I will bring you some back every day. I happen to have a few little treasures who are very fond of them."
like to eat."
"Um."
Chu Nanzhi felt warm in her heart. He was indeed thoughtful and understood women's thoughts well.
It’s both Zhuse wine and this herbal medicine. When the whole facial mask comes out, it will really open her eyes.
I didn't expect this pretty boy to have a photographic memory. No wonder Dabao praised his cooking skills last night.
I'm afraid that he has already learned the recipes that he gave to Liu Yun and his daughter.
Cough, I was careless.
Later, there was another cheap cook in the kitchen.
She ate a few spoonfuls of jasmine shrimp and tofu soup. Lin Jinxiao pushed another basket of steamed buns over and introduced in a soft voice: "This is the famous soup-filled steamed buns in our county. It is the specialty of the cook behind the county government office."
Yi Jue, in the past, when I was in a low official position, I couldn't afford what I wanted, but now I have this blessing."
Hearing what he said, Chu Nanzhi immediately put a hot bun to his mouth and took a bite. The skin was thin and the filling was tender. The thick soup slipped into his mouth smoothly, and the tangy aroma filled his nostrils.
Before I even had time to chew, I was so greedy that I swallowed my saliva.
As expected, she lived up to her reputation and was worthy of being the cook in the county government office.
If it weren't for the fact that she was the wife of the magistrate of Luyan Port, she would have poached this cook.
Seeing that she was eating with gusto, Lin Jinxiao felt even happier than eating it in his own mouth. He quickly used chopsticks to cool down the steamed buns filled with soup before putting them in the bowl in front of her. He did not forget to tell her: "Slow down."
If it’s not enough to eat, I’ll get more.”
"I don't want to be Peppa Pig."
Chu Nanzhi rolled her eyes at him angrily.
Although these delicacies were indeed irresistibly tempting, she didn't want to become a fat woman.
Now that she has changed her house, the conditions are much better. She also plans to lead the babies to do some exercises every day to restore their physical fitness.
Lin Jinxiao was stunned when he heard this, and asked with a gleaming eyebrow: "Peggy? Who is Peggy?"
"Of course it's the pet name I gave you, your wife."
Chu Nanzhi hesitated and answered seriously.
"A pet name? Using such a weird name as a pet name?"
"The weirder and weirder it is, the more unique my husband will be."
"I see."
Lin Jinxiao raised his eyebrows: "Which one do you think sounds more imposing, the scumbag or Peggy?"
"If we have to compete, I think Peggy is more popular."
Chu Nanzhi covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing, pretending to be calm.
Unexpectedly, he still remembered the scumbag's jokes.
"Yeah?"
Lin Jinxiao nodded doubtfully.
I thought scumbag was a bad term, but since she said it was a term of endearment, it had to be treated differently.
After all, the old couples in the village are also accustomed to using dirty words such as "the one in my family who has no conscience", "a scumbag" and "a bad old man" to praise and derogatory words.
In comparison, he thought "scumbag" sounded more imposing.
After thinking about it, he said solemnly: "Then I will give you a pet name as my husband."
Chu Nanzhi looked at her expectantly, but heard him wave his hand towards her very affectionately: "Come, you scumbag, come to your husband's arms."
