"How's it going? Is it done?"

Huang Lao stretched his neck and saw a group of people staggering around.

"It's done, we'll get rid of them tomorrow."

Ji Changying clapped her hands and planned to go home to fulfill her promise and prepare a table for the two of them.

The reason why the time is set to tomorrow is because she also needs to prepare.

You have to at least tell Zhong Lizhou the news and get the team out, right?

Otherwise, if he suddenly went to Liangzhou, it would be suspicious.

It's easy for her to say that when the time comes, she will pad her shoulders and height, fix her hair and put on make-up, and look like a man!

It's not like I haven't pretended before. Unless I take off all my clothes, I wouldn't be able to recognize him at all.

While she was thinking in her mind, she quickly mixed a pot of flour with her hands and placed it next to the stove fire to ferment. She waited for the aunt to come back from buying meat before starting to cook.

Mr. Hu was also generous. Hearing that Ji Changying was going to treat Mr. Huang and Ren Dongnan to dinner, they didn't bother buying meat or vegetables at all. They couldn't even lift the items before they came back.

After getting the food, Ji Changying started to show off her skills. While the braised pork was stewing, she cooked another pot of stew, stir-fried baby greens, and steamed tender stewed eggs.

The food in the north is very large, and almost every household eats in pots.

Over the past few months, Ji's family has become accustomed to cooking this way, and it is more than enough for five people to prepare four dishes and one soup.

Huang Lao immediately stared at the red-colored, fat but not greasy braised pork. He tasted it while eating: "Huh? Why does it still taste like cinnamon when I eat it?"

As expected of someone who has been dealing with medicinal materials all year round, even though Ji Changying had thrown away all the aniseed ingredients before serving the pot, Mr. Huang still ate it in one bite.

"Just tell me if it tastes good or not!"

Mr. Huang couldn't stop talking: "It's delicious!"

Hu's face was also filled with relief: "I was originally worried that you didn't look like a girl, but now that you have this cooking skill, I'm not worried anymore. I'll have a talent that I can show off when we get married in the future."

Ji Fengshou suddenly felt that the meat in his mouth was choking: "Ah Ying's body has only been healthy for more than half a year. If you ask me, I would rather stay for a few more years..."

Mrs. Hu rolled her eyes at him: "Aying will be fifteen after the new year. Now that we are looking for a good candidate, preparing the dowry, and going through the process, she will be seventeen. Don't worry about it now. Wait until you are old and rush to give her a gift." Are you married?"

Ji Fengsheng was suddenly speechless.

Ji Changying gets a headache when talking about this: "What about that? My three brothers haven't looked at each other yet. I'm not in a hurry."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Hu looked melancholy.

The eldest child broke off the engagement and now she doesn’t know how to deal with this situation, the second child has disappeared again, and the third child looks taciturn and doesn’t seem to be able to please girls.

She was so worried that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night!

Mr. Huang smiled at Ji Changying as if he were watching a good show, while Ren Dongnan didn't care about the other people and his chopsticks flew up.

Seeing the expression on the aunt's face, Ji Changying wanted to give herself a slap in the face, and she didn't want to open any pot.

She quickly changed the subject: "I have something to go to the city in the afternoon. Is there anything you need to buy?"

Mrs. Hu adjusted her expression: "The weather is getting warmer. I made clothes for Mingxuan, Minghao, Xiaochuan and Gou'er. You can take them with you."

"Okay." Ji Changying agreed immediately.

Ji Fengshou also chatted about other things: "We, the Ji family, have ten people following the crown prince this time. Those people on the mountain have also been settled in the village. If you have nothing to do, you can go and visit us."

Ji Changying nodded: "It's quite fast for so many people to settle down. It seems that the prince's move is unusual."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? How can you still delay the things the prince ordered? Even if the little old man like the village chief is dissatisfied, he doesn't dare to say anything. By the way, I have already paid back the rent our family owes the village chief."

Ji Fengshou watched the two people keep stuffing things into their mouths in silence, and quickly picked up the bowls and started grabbing the food.

"It's better to pay it back earlier." Mrs. Hu nodded to show that she understood.

After Ji Changying finished her meal, she wrote a letter to Zhong Lizhou and released the carrier pigeon. She went into the city with the things given by Hu.

Pearl didn't come out for a long time. When it came outside, it was like a gust of wind. It ran happily. Ji Changying's mood gradually lifted.

"Good Pearl, I am wronging you by being in the stable every day. When spring comes, I will give you the entire racecourse!"

"咴咴~~"

Pearl raised her head and chirped, as if answering her.

With the waist card, she can travel smoothly without having to carry her household registration.

When they arrived at the county school, the gatekeeper was still Old Deng. Ji Changying dismounted and said hello. Unexpectedly, the other party immediately thought of who she was: "Isn't this Mr. Ji's niece? Come here to see Mr. Ji?"

Ji Changying didn't expect that the other party would remember her after only meeting her once. She was surprised and waved her hand: "That's not true. I'm here to visit my brother today. Please let me know."

Old Dengtou replied with a smile, "Okay". He didn't even ask Ji Changying who her brother was.

However, Ji Changchuan ran out with a cup of tea covered in sweat. Seeing the surprise on Ji Changying's face, he jumped in front of her in a few steps: "Sister! Why did you remember to come see me?"

Ji Changying threw a baggage on his horse to him: "You and your two brothers share in the clothes sewed by my aunt. Please pass them on."

Ji Changchuan's face suddenly fell: "I thought you came to see me out of kindness! After doing this for a long time, I still miss us."

The half-grown boy stood there still pouting dissatisfied like a child. Ji Changying's hand suddenly covered his forehead: "Study hard! I'll come see you when I have time."

After she delivered the things, she had to rush to rent a carriage! There is no time to talk here. After a few brief explanations, I got on my horse and ran away.

When she arrived at the martial arts school, she was even more unstoppable. She went directly to the martial arts training ground to call the dog out of a door that no one else could enter.

Seeing her coming, the dog's tired face showed indescribable surprise and happiness.

"How are you doing?" Ji Changying looked at the dog and saw that he seemed to have lost some weight.

The dog nodded with a big smile, indicating that he was doing well.

Ji Changying was in a hurry and didn't say much. She touched his head and handed him the prepared clothes before riding away.

As soon as the teacher from the martial arts school said he wanted to rest, a group of half-year-old children gathered around him. Several of them, who were older than dogs, pointed condescendingly at the baggage in his arms and said, "Hand it over."

The dog hugged her a little tighter, lowered her head and said nothing.

"I told you to hand it over! Can't you understand human language, little mute?"

The movement here quickly attracted the teachers nearby. One frowned and was about to stop him, but was stopped by another teacher: "Don't worry, the beasts we teach are going to the battlefield, not kept at home." Dog! Each of them should learn to protect themselves. Being cowardly is of no use."
