On the first day of the new year, Wang Tuiguan and his family said goodbye. Although Wang Yingxiang was reluctant in every possible way, she really could not find any reason to continue living in Xiao Mansion.
She looked angrily at Zhang Yunqing, who was gloating about his misfortune, and muttered angrily: "Why can she continue to live here?"
Only the wife of the Wang family who was closest heard her muttering and couldn't help but sigh.
"Xiang'er, Miss Zhang's father is Mr. Xiao's partner, and they are sworn brothers. With this relationship, Miss Zhang is just visiting relatives, and no one can say anything.
But our family and Mr. Xiao’s family are just neighbors, and if we live there for a long time, we will be laughed at.”
"How can it be that we are just neighbors? I have a contract. Mr. Xiao bought me."
The wife of the Wang family really couldn't bear to listen to her daughter's remarks, so she pinched her hard, causing Wang Yingxiang to burst into tears.
Xiao Feng sent the three of them to the gate and took out the red envelopes he had prepared.
"It's Chinese New Year, let's think of this as lucky money for Miss Wang."
Wang Yingxiang blushed and wanted to say that she had grown up and was the same generation as Xiao Feng, so she shouldn't give him lucky money.
Wang Tuiguan coughed: "Xiang'er, Mr. Xiao's kindness, please take it."
Wang Yingxiang took the red envelope and opened it. There was one tael of silver and a piece of paper. She took out the paper and unfolded it, and it turned out to be the deed of sale.
The deed of sale of the wife of the Wang family and Wang Yingxiang is in duplicate. They have one copy in their hands and Xiao Feng has one copy.
This is the rule of the deed of sale. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether the seller has the share, because the buyer’s share is what is necessary to claim rights.
As long as the contract of sale is in Xiao Feng's hands, even if Lao Wang becomes prosperous and becomes the first minister of the dynasty in the future, the Wang family's wife and Wang Yingxiang will only be the slaves of the Xiao family.
This is the rule of this era. It may seem absurd, but it is recognized by everyone and must not be broken.
Lao Wang had already expected that Xiao Feng would not hold on to the sale contract, but he was still very excited when he saw Xiao Feng returning it to him so easily.
"Your Majesty's great kindness and kindness will never be forgotten by the Wang family. If there is anything I can do for you, Wang Shun will go through fire and water, even if I die."
Mrs. Wang's wife also wiped her tears excitedly, and a stone finally fell to the ground in her heart.
To be honest, in the past few days, although Xiao Feng had been comforting them not to be afraid, she was still a little uneasy.
If her husband cannot come out, she and her daughter will have nowhere to go, and they will have no choice but to be slaves in the Xiao Mansion for the rest of their lives.
Wang Yingxiang clenched the piece of paper tightly, and suddenly looked up at Xiao Feng. Her big, fluffy eyes were filled with tears just like her mother's, but the nature seemed to be a little different.
"Mr. Xiao, don't you want me anymore?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked. Zhang Yunqing, who came to see him off, opened his mouth wide, as if someone had pinched his neck. He looked nervously at Wang Yingxiang and then at Xiao Feng.
Qiao Niang suddenly raised her head and looked at Mrs. Wang, wanting to see how she would face this situation.
Qiaoqiao has been selling cloth on the street since she was very young. She is very clever, but she is very slow about matters between men and women. She looks at Wang Yingxiang stupidly and comforts her.
"Sister Yingxiang, how could this be? I will never abandon you. When did you miss us? Come and play with us at any time!"
Wang Tuiguan thought of ten million ways to express his position in an instant, and finally felt that there was only one that was most appropriate, which was to pretend to be confused and not hear.
As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed, so Wang Tuiguan remained unmoved as he bid farewell to Xiao Feng.
The wife of the Wang family did not have such good acting skills. Her face turned red and she quickly pulled her daughter to her side and smiled awkwardly at Xiao Feng.
"Master Xiao, Yingxiang, Qiaoqiao, and Miss Zhang get along well with each other. When they are separated, they will inevitably feel melancholy and excited, and they will speak indiscriminately and messily. Don't be surprised."
Xiao Feng is not a fool, he just doesn't think about it. Seeing Wang Yingxiang like this, how can he not know what is going on?
However, he chose a similar plan to Lao Wang. Lao Wang pretended not to hear, and he pretended not to understand and just followed Qiaoqiao's words.
"Yeah, how can you say we don't want you anymore? You just go home with your parents. You can come and live whenever you want.
That room of yours is reserved for you and no one should touch it."
There are many houses in the Xiao Mansion, and each guest is assigned a room. However, although the three of them have a room each, they always sleep together and take turns causing trouble in those three rooms.
Wang Yingxiang blinked, feeling that Xiao Feng seemed to have agreed to something, but it seemed that he had not agreed to anything. The Wang family's wife breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to change this embarrassing topic.
Lao Wang's family left in a hired carriage, and the next to leave were Liu Ruyun and his father, who had made a great show last night.
That's right, when people mentioned Liu Ruyun before, they might still say: This is Chen Zhonghou's daughter.
It is estimated that in a few days, when people mention Chen Zhonghou, they will say: That is Liu Ruyun's father.
The fifteen dishes that Liu Ruyun had tried many times, with the blessing of MSG, actually allowed her to learn new skills and reach a level similar to that of her mother.
And the five dishes that she was already good at have reached new heights with the addition of MSG.
Last night was just a small test, the real battle will take place at the God of Cookery Competition. So Xiao Feng told everyone last night not to reveal Liu Ruyun's great improvement in cooking skills before the God of Cookery Competition.
Although Zhang Tianci made his mouth water after eating last night, he expressed his opinion that even if it was not kept secret, with Miss Liu's current cooking skills, she could definitely beat Shi Zhenxiang. But Xiao Feng shut him up with just one sentence.
"Being prepared but not distracted is always the guarantee of victory. If the outcome is not decided, an arrogant soldier will be defeated. Even if a lion fights a rabbit, he must use his full strength."
Qi Jiguang muttered this several times, then suddenly started clapping the table, startling everyone.
"Zhan Yu, Wu Xin, yesterday we discussed how to win in battle against the enemy. I said there is no sure way to win, but with the right tactics, the winning rate will be high.
What Brother Xiao said today is from a strategic perspective and will be of great use to our march and war.
First of all, we must show weakness and make the enemy proud. Secondly, we must ensure that our military strength is superior to that of our opponents, and we must act like a lion, not a rabbit!
Even if the victory is not decided, an arrogant soldier will be defeated. Even if a lion fights a hare, he will use all his strength. Wonderful words, wonderful words, I want to write them on the first page of my military book!"
Xiao Feng remembered that Qi Jiguang wrote several military books in history, and he didn't know which one he was writing now. He never thought that his casual sentence could still be on the front page of his military books.
This feels like Xiao Feng copying famous quotes on the cover of his book when he was a child. The format should be similar to the following.
Even if the victory is not decided, an arrogant soldier will be defeated. A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength - (Ming Dynasty) Xiao Feng.
The conscience of heaven and earth, not a single sentence in this is original to him.
If it wasn't nondescript, Xiao Feng would have liked Qi Jiguang to write his poem about complaining in the middle of the night on the front page, at least it would be his original work.
Chen Zhonghou was waiting for his daughter at the door with his ancestral kitchen knife. Liu Ruyun walked up to Xiao Feng and blessed her.
"Mr. Xiao, the elixir you refined has inspired me to master the essence of my mother's recipes. I cannot thank you enough for this great kindness, and I will repay it later."
Xiao Feng smiled and took out a red envelope and handed it to her.
"This is the New Year's money for you."
Liu Ruyun's face turned red. Xiao Feng had just given Wang Yingxiang new year's money, which seemed a bit nondescript. He was only five years older than Wang Yingxiang.
However, Xiao Feng and Wang Tuiguan were considered equals, so it was reasonable to give Wang Yingxiang new year's money.
But he was eight years older than Xiao Feng, so it was logical that Liu Ruyun should give him a red envelope, but he gave it to himself instead.
Seeing that Xiao Feng had already handed it over, Liu Ruyun had no choice but to accept it. He took it and opened it. There was also a tael of silver in the red envelope, as well as a small porcelain vase.
Liu Ruyun felt as if she had found a treasure and quickly stuffed the small porcelain bottle into her arms.
"You have been studying the dishes during this period, and they are probably almost used up. I am more proficient in this bottle, and the purity is better than the last one. You can save it for the Master of Cooking competition."
Liu Ruyun nodded repeatedly and said shyly: "Actually, I should also prepare a red envelope for you. After all, I am older than you."
That picture flashed through Xiao Feng's mind and he couldn't help but laugh. A beautiful girl sent herself a red envelope.
If there was a dubbing for this scene, it would definitely be in a Hong Kong and Taiwanese accent: "Hey, I can't tell, you're still a virgin, take it, this is the rule."
Liu Ruyun didn't know why Xiao Feng was smiling, but she just thought his smile was so warm, so kind, so... well, a little handsome.
She couldn't help but smile infectiously, turned to leave, then stopped, and whispered to Xiao Feng a secret she had discovered.
"Mr. Xiao, you may not have noticed that Miss Wang may like you!"
