The night is as cool as water.

In the Xu family's mansion, Xu Chengxuan was bored on a rattan chair with mattresses and tiger skins. After Yan Jiuchao's guards had one arm and one leg, he began to recover from his idle and moldy days.

He is Xu Shao's legitimate son and has two older brothers. Unfortunately, they are both born in illegitimate and their status is not as valuable as him. After learning that he was seriously injured, Concubine Xu Xian invited the best imperial physician and sent the best medicine for injury. His broken arms and legs were already connected, but it was still early to recover.

As soon as he fell ill, the two illegitimate brothers rushed to his father like clowns. This was Bi Nu's absence. If they were there, they would have to suffer a little!

"Three Young Master! Three Young Master!" A servant trotted over in a panic look.

"So what's wrong? What's the monster that my two brothers are?" Xu Chengxuan became a little sarcastic since he became a victim.

The servant said embarrassedly: "It's not the eldest and second masters, it's..."

"What is it!" Xu Chengxuan was impatient.

The servant glanced at Yu Guang, and he lost his strength to report and retreated aside in shame.

"Are you deaf or dumb? Just say something--" Xu Chengxuan turned around cursingly and saw the man strode towards him, and looked stunned, "Cousin?"

Yan Huaijing looked cold and was filled with a terrifying aura.

Xu Chengxuan had never seen such a scary cousin, and he was immediately stunned.

Yan Huaijing's eyes swept: "You all retreat!"

The servant and the maids retreated properly.

"Why didn't he retreat?" Xu Chengxuan glanced at Jun Chang'an who was standing aside and muttered in a low voice.

Jun Changan didn't even give him a look.

Yan Huaijing came to the rattan chair and looked down at Xu Chengxuan who could not get up and salute, saying: "I'm not honest when I've been crippled! Why do I do this?"

"Why did this? Cousin, aren't you here to come to see me? Why do you scold me as soon as you see me like my father?" Xu Chengxuan said aggrievedly.

Xu Chengxuan is the legitimate son of the family and has a good appearance. He is loved by Concubine Xu Xian when he was urinating. His relationship with Yan Huaijing is much more close to others, and he does not have so much rituals from the monarch and subjects when he speaks.

In the past, Yan Huaijing indulged him like a big brother when he saw his cousin like this. However, after this incident, he could no longer treat Xu Chengxuan as the heartless child.

"You don't admit it yet? OK, then look, what this is!" Yan Huaijing threw the small iron tube that he held all the way onto Xu Chengxuan's clothes.

When he saw what this was, Xu Chengxuan's face changed suddenly.

"What? I have nothing to say?" Yan Huaijing asked coldly.

Xu Chengxuan's eyes flashed and he pretended to be crazy and said, "What's this? Where did my cousin come from?"

Yan Huaijing looked at him with a grudge: "You won't cry until you see the coffin! Chang'an!"

Jun Chang'an slowly walked through the moon gate, grabbed Changsui, who was lined up Xu Chengxuan to Tianxianglou, Chang'an Street, and threw it in front of Xu Chengxuan expressionlessly.

Chang Sui's nose and face were swollen, and he looked at Xu Chengxuan in fear: "Young Master..."

Xu Chengxuan saw that he was not good at making trouble, and he didn't understand what he didn't understand. I'm afraid that this guy couldn't withstand Jun Chang'an's methods, and he said everything he shouldn't say!

"roll!"

Xu Chengxuan shouted fiercely.

Chang Sui rolled and crawled away.

Xu Chengxuan turned his face angrily.

Yan Huaijing said coldly: "Why did you do this? Miss Yu provoked you?"

"Miss Yu?" Xu Chengxuan turned his face strangely, "Why are you calling me so intimately? My cousin knows her?"

Yan Huaijing said sternly: "Now I'm asking you."

Xu Chengxuan snorted coldly: "What else can I do? My arms and legs were broken! I'm just teaching her a lesson!"

Yan Huaijing frowned and said, "Your arms and legs were broken by Yan Jiuchao, what does it have to do with her?"

Xu Chengxuan sarcastically said: "I only found out a few days ago that she is a woman from Yan Jiuchao!"

"What are you talking about?" Yan Huaijing's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Xu Chengxuan was angry and did not notice his cousin's strangeness: "I'm not talking nonsense! She went to Tianxianglou the day before yesterday to slander Chef Yang for plagiarizing her skills. The next day Yan Jiuchao came to my house and smashed my Tianxianglou. Does my cousin think this is a coincidence? At first I didn't think about it. It was my guard who entered the palace to deliver snacks to my aunt that day. When he saw Eunuch Wang picking up Yan Jiuchao, he was careful and followed him all the way. But my cousin guessed what? Yan Jiuchao actually moved to the village of that girl! My cousin told me again that this was a coincidence, and I recognized my loss myself!"

Yan Huaijing suddenly remembered the word "Yan" that Yu Wan called before she fell asleep, so she didn't know him, and she was not calling him, but... Yan Jiuchao?

Did she treat him as Yan Jiuchao? Or was it the person who hoped to save her that Yan Jiuchao?

No matter which one... it means that she does know Yan Jiuchao.

Yan Jiuchao smashed Tianxianglou and beat Xu Chengxuan for her? In order not to push her to the forefront, he beat the second ancestor of the capital.

This thought, this thought!

"Cousin, don't believe me. What I said is true. I was so angry that I couldn't swallow this. I learned that she was also here to compare, so I went to ask someone to teach her a lesson." Xu Chengxuan was so hard that he was soft, and pulled Yan Huaijing's sleeve, showing a pitiful look.

If it weren't for the thing found in the ice cellar, Yan Huaijing might have let him deceive: "A little lesson? If you collude with the ghost tribe in the southern Xinjiang, if it spreads, I don't know who taught whom!"

"What kind of ghost clan?" Xu Chengxuan was confused.

His expression didn't seem to be fake. Yan Huaijing pointed to the iron tube on his body: "Who gave you this thing?"

Xu Chengxuan sighed sadly: "Bi Nu, but he has left and has never come back. If my cousin is convenient, let Jun Chang'an help me find it. Without him, I will have more troubles."

"Where did you know him?" Yan Huaijing asked.

Xu Chengxuan told all the experiences of making friends with Bi Nu. He did not know Bi Nu's identity, so he didn't think there was anything to cover up.

Yan Huaijing looked at him for a moment: "He gave you anything else, hand over it."

Xu Chengxuan snorted, "What are you doing? If someone else is gone, I'm not allowed to keep his stuff for you?"

Yan Huaijing asked quietly, "Do you still want to find him?"

Compared to the dead objects left by Bi Nu, Xu Chengxuan wanted this living person more. He gritted his teeth and handed over Bi Nu's "relics" to Yan Huaijing with pain.

"In the future, don't take any messy people back to the mansion, and don't cause trouble secretly. If I find that you are not in a manner again, I will send you back to Xuzhou!"

Yan Huaijing warned Xu Chengxuan and left with Jun Chang'an with the box.

Xu Chengxuan looked at Jun Chang'an's back as he walked away, and a trace of jealousy flashed through his eyes.

...

Master Qin sent Yu Wan and his group back to Lianhua Village.

Mr. Qin had just asked the silver to inquire. The old chefs from the uncle's group praised the uncle's dishes. In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, they would not tell the chef in advance who was the chef when presented. Therefore, it was not like Yan Ruyu suspected that the second prince had entrusted the relationship between the Yu family's promotion.

Of course, the old chef is quite satisfied with the skills of the remaining two chefs, especially Madam Du, who has made great progress in cooking over the years, and has become less gimmick than rumored.

"There is still a tough battle tomorrow." Mr. Qin sighed.

The first day's competition is just an appetizer, and the real chapter will be revealed tomorrow, so you must not take it lightly.

Furthermore, this kind of comparison has a certain subjectivity, so someone can enjoy it. For example, if the chef who praises their dishes is very popular, they can only ask for blessings on their own.

The carriage drove to the entrance of the village and the uncle said, "Just get here. It's getting late, so I won't leave Mr. Qin to use tea. Mr. Qin will walk slowly."

Mr. Qin smiled and said goodbye.

Several people got off the carriage and returned to the old house every day.

After dinner, the eldest aunt and Jiang waited for them to eat, so they accompanied them to eat some.

The aunt cooked a plate of shallots and fried tofu, a bowl of braised bean curd, a pot of bacon and spring bamboo shoots soup and a few side dishes bought from the town. The vegetables in the field were gone, so I wanted to buy them in the town. In order to make a sumptuous dish, the aunt, who was always frugal, actually learned from the people in the town to buy side dishes.

"Auntie, please sit down, I'll do it." Yu Wan went to the stove and took the bowls and chopsticks from her hand.

The eldest aunt pushed her hand away: "You're tired of sitting for a day."

Yu Wan smiled: "It's like you're idle at home."

The eldest aunt didn't say anything, but Yu Wan understood that she was not as easy as they were away from home. The aunt was busy with work and workshop business at home.

Yu Wan insisted on taking the dishes and chopsticks.

"This child!" The aunt gave her a look.

"Zhenzhen, take it." The little girl stood on tiptoe.

The eldest aunt also gave her a bowl, and she took it to the main hall happily.

"Huh? Where is the little Tiedan?" Yu Wan asked. She didn't see the little guy who was getting more and more sticky when she entered the house. This was really strange.

Jiang smiled and said nothing.

The aunt picked up a piece of pork belly for Jiang, which was suitable for fat and thin: "I'm angry with you!"

Yu Wan raised her eyebrows strangely: "Angry at me? Why?"

The farmers had a large appetite. Although they had eaten in the capital, they were on the table and each of them brought a large bowl of rice. Yu Song drank three bowls in one breath and wanted to eat it. He glanced at Yu Wan and put down the bowls and chopsticks very calmly.

Yu Wan was not very hungry, so she drank some soup and went to find Xiao Tiedan.

Little Tiedan lay beside Yu Feng's bed, her little butt was sticking out high, her head was buried in her arms, looking ignorant.

Yu Wan came to him gently and called Xiao Tiedan.

Xiao Tiedan buried her head tighter.
