"Master Zhao, it's getting late and it's almost time for lunch. I asked my wife to prepare lunch. You and Chen Jingcheng can have some simple meals at my house." Wang Houde said with a smile.

The king's wife also said quickly: "Yes, yes, although we have a simple diet in the countryside, the advantage is that the ingredients are fresh and the taste is not bad. There happens to be Xiaohe Xian, a unique fish here, and the soup is extremely delicious.

Because it grows in the crevices of big rocks, it is very difficult to catch it without someone squirting water under it. It happened that my eldest son’s in-laws sent a pound. I will clean it up with my own hands soon, and it will definitely be clean. Okay.

Let the adults know that we also have good things in the countryside."

Chen Kang laughed at the side and said: "You don't know, this wife of Wang Houde's family is a chef in the capital. She has good cooking skills since she was a child, and she is also very particular about cleanliness in her work. In the past, whether it was the adults of Linjiang Prefecture,

Even when the adults from Nanyang Prefecture came here to inspect, they would come to his house to have dinner. Mrs. Wang’s cousin-in-law is the governor of Linjiang Prefecture, so Mrs. Wang’s superb cooking skills are also known in Linjiang Prefecture.

Everyone knows it.”

After Zhao Ruxi arrived in Nanyang, what he did was often beyond expectations.

This time when he went to the countryside, he didn't expect to encounter Wang Dazhu. Chen Kang was unsure about her attitude and couldn't help but reveal the Wang Houde family's trump card.

Zhao Ruxi went to the countryside these days and never ate at Li Zheng or other people's homes. Instead, she went back to her carriage to eat solid food. The same was true for her entourage. Chen Kang didn't even know that she was complaining that the food was not cooked well.

, she still thought it was unclean, so no matter how those people left food, she refused to accept it.

If she was willing to eat here, Chen Kang felt that his heart would be relieved.

Although the governor of the government office is only a ninth-grade official, he is still a member of the government office, and the Wang family can be regarded as someone above him.

Zhao Ruxi's senior brother Wu Zongzhong was new here and had to rely on local officials to do things. Maybe Zhao Ruxi saw this and was willing to give the Wang family some face.

Thinking of this, Chen Kang had a headache.

This aunt is really tough in the background. If she doesn't give the Wang family face, neither he nor Cai Yaozong can do anything about it.

"No." Zhao Ruxi waved her hand and refused, "We are here to inspect, just to act impartially. If I eat at your house, even if I deal with you very fairly later, the villagers will feel that I am partial to you. This is not good.

."

After hearing what happened next, Wang Houde and his wife, who felt heartbroken because Zhao Ruxi refused to eat, felt a little hopeful again.

Maybe this new Mr. Zhao is particularly concerned about his official reputation, and even if he goes through the motions, he still has to go through the motions without being criticized at all?

After Zhao Ruxi finished speaking, she stood up: "I'm going back to the carriage first. If Chen Jingcheng wants to eat here, he can do it himself." After saying that, she cupped her hands towards Wang Houde and walked outside.

Lu Yun quickly followed.

Chen Kang, who already knew Zhao Ruxi somewhat, was not as optimistic as Wang Houde and his wife. When he was thinking about how to plead for mercy, he saw Zhao Ruxi leaving him and going out. He quickly followed him out, saying: "No, no, sir."

Eating solid food, how can there be any reason for a villain to eat here?"

Zhao Ruxi ignored him, left the Wang family's house, and went straight to the village.

Their carriage was parked in an open space at the end of the village.

Chen Kang wanted to catch up and say a few words of love to Wang Houde, but firstly he didn't know what was going on with Wang Houde, and secondly he wasn't sure whether Zhao Ruxi would burn him after he confessed his love.

Come.

Although he valued Wang Houde very much because of his relationship with Mrs. Wang's cousin-in-law. However, Zhao Ruxi was too powerful and had a bad temper. He only followed his own temper when doing things and did not pay attention to the rules of the world. He really didn't dare to take advantage of him.

adventure ahead.

Just think about it, if he made Zhao Ruxi unhappy and this aunt lost her temper and wanted to remove him from his post, who could stop him from Fucheng to the state government?

He said he was a local snake with a deep foundation. But Zhao Ruxi removed him and picked someone from the local area to replace him. Anyone who refused to accept the order would be removed. It was guaranteed that the people below would be able to adapt to the changing circumstances better than anyone else.

After thinking about it like this, Zhao Ruxi didn't dare to say a word until he walked to the village and got into the carriage.

When Zhao Ruxi went out, she not only brought the three guards Xiao Lingyan gave her, but she also brought out Luo Shi. However, Luo Shi did not follow him, but stayed in the carriage waiting.

Zhao Ruxi's carriage was brought from the capital, and it was the one she usually used when traveling between the capital and Beining.

At that time, he was running around every day. For comfort, Zhao Ruxi modified the carriage inside and out.

There was no heat island effect in ancient times. It was still May and the weather was neither hot nor cold. When they set out in the morning, Mrs. Zhu specially asked the kitchen to make some pies and pastries, as well as a few cold dishes to bring to Luo Shi.

superior.

At this time, Luo Shi had already brewed tea using the small stove provided in the car. These pies and cakes tasted great when eaten with hot tea.

Zhao Ruxi asked Luo Shi to send a portion to Chen Kang as usual, and sat in the car and ate it with relish.

While eating, she also thought about whether she should copy instant noodles. Isn’t there a heroine in a time-travel novel who won the love of an emperor or a prince because of the copycat instant noodles that allowed the soldiers to win the battle? For the sake of her title, she could do that too.

It's just a copycat.

During this period, the king's wife even brought a maid to deliver food to Zhao Ruxi, but Luo Shi directly stopped her and sent her back.

After Zhao Ruxi had eaten and rested for a while, the guards who went to inquire about the news came back and reported the information they collected to Zhao Ruxi one by one.

Because of the difference between men and women, Chen Kang did not dare to park his carriage next to Zhao Ruxi's carriage, but stayed more than ten meters away. Now seeing Zhao Ruxi's nursing home returning one after another, he made up his mind to ignore Wang Houde.

I don't really have much anxiety in my heart.

After hearing what the last guard said, Zhao Ruxi ordered the guard: "Take a gong to the village and knock it to get them to come here."

Hearing the sound of the gong, Wang Houde, who had been paying attention to the goings-on here, finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He avoided Zhao Ruxi's sight and went to Chen Kang in person to inquire about the news.

Chen Kang was so troubled by him that he couldn't help it, so he came over to Zhao Ruxi and said, "Master Zhao, how do you want to deal with Wang Houde?"

Zhao Ruxi glanced at Wang Houde who was standing far away, then looked at Chen Kang and said, "Do you know what he did in the village?"

Chen Kang's heart skipped a beat.

Although everyone in Wangjia Village is surnamed Wang, they are not members of the same clan, and are divided into two or three factions. Wang Houde has done many unethical things since he became powerful. For example, he wanted to connect his fields into one, and used various means to force

People in the village sold their fields and used strong methods to suppress people from other forces. Many people in the village were extremely dissatisfied with him. But because of his wife's cousin-in-law, Cai Yaozong and he turned a blind eye to this matter.
