Liang Mingmin took a comfortable shower and fell asleep quickly on the big, soft bed.
So was Liang Mingyu.
He had originally planned to lie down for a while and then go to the county for a walk, but who knew he would sleep until the sky darkened.
The two of them were hungry too.
Recently, there were many caravans coming to the county.
There was also a chef staying at the inn at night. If the guests needed food, he would cook.
Liang Mingyu and his sister went downstairs to eat.
When they were ordering the dishes, they realized that they either had never eaten or heard half of the dishes here.
Liang Mingyu pointed at the menu and asked "What is tofu?"
The owner smiled and said, "This is a dish that our county magistrate's wife taught us how to make with soybeans. It tastes very good. If you have not tried it before, you can try it."
Liang Mingyu asked again, "There are several dishes with this tofu. Which one is better?"
Liang Mingmin said impatiently, "Why are you asking so many questions? Can't you just ask them to serve all the special dishes?"
Liang Mingyu was lost for words, but he still nodded and said to the owner, "Then bring out all your specialties."
The owner was also lost for words. "We have more than a dozen specialty dishes in our restaurant. The two of you shouldn't be able to finish them. Why don't you consider it again?"
Liang Mingmin frowned. "Just do as I tell you to. If we can't finish it, just throw it away. Do you have a problem with that?"
How annoying. It was none of his business whether they could finish it or not.
She had more than ten dishes for every meal in Prince Jin's residence.
She had long been used to throwing the dishes away after taking a bite or throwing them away without even tasting them.
When the owner saw her like this, he also guessed that she was an important person with an extraordinary identity.
"Yes, I'll arrange for someone to do it," he said with an embarrassed smile.
There weren't many customers at the moment, so the dishes were served very quickly.
Seeing that the plates were still relatively new and clean, Liang Mingmin picked up her chopsticks and tried every dish.
It was rare that she ate more than usual.
"This small county is a little run-down, but the food is still okay."
It was her first time eating these dishes.
Liang Mingyu also tried them all and found that they were delicious. "Mmm, very new dishes."
"Are these the specialties in this county?" he asked the owner.
"All these were taught by our county magistrate's wife," the owner replied with a smile, "and it has indeed become a feature of Heyang County."
Liang Mingyu had already guessed it. "It seems like your county magistrate's wife has done a lot of things."
At the mention of Shi Qingluo, the owner couldn't help but smile and praise, " That's right, our county magistrate's wife is very good. Not only does she teach everyone how to cook and make specialty snacks, she also..."
After he complimented her, those at the other table also added on with a smile.
"That's right. The magistrate of Heyang County and his wife are really powerful.
"In the past, when we were here on business trips, we rarely visited places with such good security and unique lodgings.
"Although it looks a little run-down, the streets are cleaned every day. It's clean and pleasing to the eye."
"That's right. I heard that there aren't even any fights, thieves, or ruffians in this county."
"I heard that beggars also went to some kind of sheltered places."
"I heard that the county magistrate's wife is the old immortal's disciple. That's why she's so powerful. I feel like there's nothing she can't do."
"She's pretty too. I saw her from afar the other day. She really looks like a little fairy."
This was the third time their caravan had come to Heyang County to buy canned food, so they had a deep understanding of the changes here.
In the past, they had been afraid that it would not be safe, but now that they saw the yamen runners patrolling the county, they felt a lot more at ease.
In addition, they had earned quite a bit of money from the canned food, soap, and wool.
Hence, they praised Shi Qingluo and her husband as if it was free.
They were praising them happily, but the people who were listening were not so happy.
Liang Mingmin was very annoyed. How could a village girl from the countryside be so good? It seemed that she knew how to win public support.
When she was in Northern City previously, she was the woman with the noblest status, so she didn't like to hear other women being praised.
Even before she had seen Shi Qingluo, she was already instinctively displeased and repulsed.
Liang Mingyu, on the other hand, felt that she was indeed the woman he would take a fancy to.
She was indeed extraordinary.
Liang Mingmin threw down her chopsticks. "I'm full."
After saying that, she returned to her room with a sullen face.
Liang Mingyu was also used to his younger sister's fickleness.
She was probably unhappy that these people were praising Shi Qingluo.
He knew that there used to be two pretty and talented women in Northern City who were sought after by many young masters in the aristocratic families.
However, it was also because of this that they were an eyesore to his younger sister.
She secretly set one of them up and caused the carriage she was sitting in to lose control.
She fell from the carriage and her face was disfigured by the stones.
The other person was molested by a local ruffian when she went out, and her reputation was completely ruined.
She was sent to a convent by her family to be a nun.
Not only did the princess consort not reprimand her, but she also helped Liang Mingmin clean up the mess and didn't let the two families find out.
This was something she had ordered people to do, and it wasn't an accident at all.
But this was just in Northern City, where Prince Jin and the princess consort would clean up the mess for Liang Mingmin.
If this happened in the capital, he wondered if the princess consort could still hide the truth from the masses.
A princess like her was too narrow-minded.
Because of this, Liang Mingmin would probably hate Shi Qingluo.
It was really an unexpected disaster.
The next morning, Liang Mingyu was ready to go out for a walk, and then go to the county office to discuss with Xiao Hanzheng and his wife about repairing the road.
He didn't want to bring Liang Mingmin along, so he went downstairs to have breakfast and then prepared to leave.
Who knew that just as they finished eating, Liang Mingmin came down.
In the past, she would never wake up so early.
"Do you want to have breakfast?" he asked.
Liang Mingmin had eaten a little too much last night and had no appetite now. no need.
"Are you going to find Xiao Hanzheng?" she asked.
Liang Mingyu thought to himself, she was a shameless woman.
If she shared the same mother as him, he would definitely lock her up at home and not let her out to embarrass himself.
He had never seen such a promiscuous woman apart from her.
However, he didn't show it.
"I'm going to take a look at the county first before going."
Liang Mingmin shot him a glance. "Then why aren't you leaving? "
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and left the inn.
Liang Mingyu remained silent, the anger that he had suppressed was back.
He also walked out quickly.
The location of the inn was good.
It was in the center of the county.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the inn, they saw a big black goose in high spirits not far away.
It was walking valiantly on the street with a few other big and small geese, as if they were patrolling.
The people of the county were used to it, but those who had just arrived looked over curiously.
One of them laughed and praised, "This goose looks so energetic. It looks like a bailiff on patrol."
It was the first time they had seen such a big black goose with shiny fur and extraordinary power.
"This is the big goose raised by our county magistrate's wife," a passing citizen said with a smile.
"They're just patrolling. If they see thieves or bullies, they'll do something."
The merchant was stunned. "Ah, they're really patrolling. They are able to identify these activities? "
The commoners said proudly, "Of course. This is the goose raised by Mdm Shi. It's very smart and intelligent. It can understand anything."
"Amazing." Everyone was amazed.
Liang Mingmin, who initially found the goose interesting, heard the conversation and instantly felt that the big black goose was not pleasing to the eye.
She then ordered the guard behind her, "Go and catch that big black goose. Let the inn's kitchen stew it in the afternoon."
