Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 193 Vegetable Farmer

"Row!"

Luo Yanxing agreed immediately. Now she could make decisions on many things at home by herself. Buying pens, ink, paper and inkstone was no problem at all. Her parents would at most scold her for being wasteful and would not dare to do anything to her.

Song Ying had to rush back in the afternoon. Time was tight, so she quickly got down to business: "Have you investigated He Tianyu's case?"

When talking about this, Luo Yanxing couldn't help but sigh, "We investigated, but there was no result. We asked several girls from Wutong Village, but they didn't know about this beforehand and were very curious about why He Tianyu knew about us.

Unfortunately, after He Tianyu returned home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, she went to stay at her grandparents' home the next day and has not returned since. They couldn't find anyone even if they wanted to ask. "

"She went to her grandparents' house the next day?" Song Ying frowned. It sounded like she was avoiding them.

When talking about He Tianyu, Luo Yanxing unconsciously gritted his teeth, "Humph, you can't hide from her parents. Her home is right here. I don't believe she can hide in her grandparents' home for the rest of her life!"

With He Tianyu's attitude, Song Ying felt that it was difficult to get the truth out of her. He still couldn't give up his own investigation, especially on Song Yuan's side.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but regret that she was so busy arguing with Li that she forgot about the important business. At this moment, Song Yuan had already gone to school.

Hearing this, Luo Yanxing comforted him, "It's okay. I'll find a chance to ask Xiao Caiyuanzi later. I'll go to Shen Mansion to find you when I have news."

"Row!"

Song Ying also informed him of Tang Tingbin's escape. As it was getting late, she hurried back to the ancestral home to wash the sheets, took them to Uncle Song's house, and then rushed to the city without stopping.

Doctor Lin has been worried about the illness of Princess Shunan recently, so he is considerate of his apprentice by allowing her to take leave and go home to restore her reputation.

As an apprentice, she naturally has to care about her master, so she should hurry back to prepare the medicinal meal in the afternoon.

Song Ying calculated the time and had some time to spare when entering the city, so he went to Zhang's and bought Doctor Lin's favorite Yunpian Cake before returning to Shen's house.

As soon as she entered the Shen Mansion, she felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was very strange.

The big kitchen was located near the back door, far away from the masters' residences, so there was no need to be so particular. In the past, the maids and old women would come and go and chat, and it was very lively. But today, Song Ying did not hear any lively conversations.

She first returned to the courtyard where she lived. Doctor Lin was not there, so Song Ying placed the Yunpian cake in the main room, then went back to the room to put away the ink that Yuan Qing had sent her, and then hurried to the kitchen.

From a distance, she saw Mother Fang talking to a middle-aged man dressed as an old farmer at the door of the big kitchen.

Song Ying walked over and greeted her with a hint of curiosity, "Mother Fang."

Some of the Shen family’s ingredients are produced on their own farm, and some are purchased from several specialized farmers, but most of the farmers deliver the ingredients early in the morning.

Mother Fang turned around and saw that it was her. She immediately smiled and said, "Miss Song Ying is back. How is everything going? Is everything okay at home?"

Before Song Ying answered, the old farmer asked curiously, "Mother Fang, which master does this girl serve?"

Mother Fang shook her head and introduced Song Ying with a smile on her face: "This is Miss Song Ying, Doctor Lin's new apprentice. She may be doing something! Although she has been in our house for a short time, she has never made any mistakes when making medicinal meals for the old lady!"

"Doctor Lin has accepted an apprentice?!" The old farmer was surprised and curious. "Oh, the girl is amazing! Doctor Lin has high standards. Many people wanted to help her before, but she refused."

Song Ying smiled and said, "It is my blessing to be favored by the master."

The old farmer smiled more and more cordially: "No wonder Doctor Lin accepted you as his apprentice. You are smart and good at talking. If my two granddaughters had half the intelligence of you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

Song Ying had heard such compliments since she was a child and was very skilled at responding with a smile.

When you don’t know what to say, just smile politely. This is the experience she has learned.

Mother Fang introduced her with a smile: "This is Cheng Zhuangtou. His family grows very good vegetables. Most of the people on our street buy their vegetables from him."

"So you are Mr. Cheng. Your food is really good."

It turned out to be the vegetable farmer who cooperated with the mansion. Song Ying suddenly realized and immediately became more curious. Since he was an old farmer who had cooperated for a long time, he naturally knew the time to deliver vegetables to the Shen Mansion. At this time, it must be that the mansion had additional requirements.

"What vegetables does Miss Song Ying like? I'll send more next time." Cheng Zhuangtou said attentively.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Cheng. I'm not picky. I'll eat whatever the kitchen cooks." Song Ying couldn't stand his hospitality, so she said quickly, "I'll go in first. Mother Fang, you guys can chat first."

Before he could finish his words, the man had already entered the yard.

Seeing this, Fang's mother hurriedly sent Cheng Zhuangtou to catch up, "Miss Song Ying, what ingredients do you need today?"

Song Ying told her the ingredients she needed, looked at the maids in the courtyard who were exchanging glances but rarely speaking, and asked curiously, "Mother Fang, what's going on today?"

Mother Fang pulled her aside and beckoned her to come closer. Then she lowered her voice and said, "The old lady is in a bad mood today. If you go to the main courtyard, be careful and don't run into someone you don't want to be used as a punching bag."

"Thank you, mother, for telling me." When making a living in a deep house, the mood of the host is very important. Even if Song Ying is the person in charge of Shun'an County's medicinal diet, if he really runs into trouble, he may be used as a punching bag.

Since Fang's mother had pulled her over here, she naturally intended to tell her the whole story. Song Ying asked politely, "Why would the old lady be in a bad mood for no reason?"

Mother Fang pointed to the side and said, "In this mansion, apart from the people over there, who else can make the old lady so angry?"

Song Ying looked in the direction of her pursed lips and whispered in the same tone, "Feng He Yuan?"

Ever since that medicinal meal, Feng He Yuan hasn't done anything naughty for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that they always made double portions of medicinal meals, Song Ying would have almost forgotten about this person.

Mother Fang nodded. "This afternoon, Prefect Shen and the new county magistrate came to pay a visit to our master. The old man sent some crabs over."

Song Ying thought to herself that Aunt Lian was really unruly. She was even trying to win favor in front of the guests. Isn't this making a fool of herself?

It is no wonder that Princess Shun'an was angry. She was a member of the royal family, and she was bullied by a concubine. If this got out, the royal family would lose all face.

Then, she thought of County Lady Shun'an's health and couldn't help but frowned. The weather has turned cooler in recent days, and County Lady Shun'an's health has been much worse than before. She didn't know what would happen to her after this anger.

Master is busy again.

She sighed and asked again, "What did the master say?"

This incident not only damaged the reputation of Princess Shunan, but also that of the Shen family.

Which respectable family would have a concubine come out to take care of the entertainment when entertaining guests? If the news gets out, Shen Zhuangyuan's reputation will be affected.
