Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

At noon, the streets began to become noisy. A group of students poured out from Songhe Academy, all wearing blue gowns, square scarves on their heads, and the Songzhu logo on their chests.

Scenes like this remind Li Haitang of later generations of students leaving school.

The scholars walked together in twos and threes, talking quietly.

She didn't eat much for breakfast, and Li Haitang was also hungry now. She saw a restaurant in front of her, named Songhe Restaurant, so she took a group of people to eat.

Eating is one of them. Take the opportunity to examine the dishes, taste and prices, so as to know yourself and the enemy.

Xiangli always followed behind, with her head lowered, and her mood was complicated. She was wondering, when Yang Xu was alive, was he as high-spirited as these scholars?

He walked on the same street and probably went to the shops on both sides to buy food. Unfortunately, she would never see him again.

In the days after receiving the news, Xiangli forced herself to smile, but it was difficult for Li Haitang to notice her. If she cried all day long and ruined other people's mood, it would be just plain annoying.

"Xiangli, if everything goes well, we will be able to meet Mr. Jingzhaoyizhang tomorrow."

After Li Haitang finished speaking, she felt uncertain. She and Zhang Ruyi were sworn sisters, but they had always been at odds with Zhang Zheng. However, Zhang Zheng was able to return to Beijing because of his political achievements in resisting smallpox. This political achievement still depends on She made it.

After all, they are also former partners. Isn’t that too realistic?

"Sister Haitang, I know you worry about my affairs."

Xiangli shook her head quickly. When she thought of Yang Xu, she felt distressed and sad.

Not to mention the marriage contract between the two families, even with the friendship between the two of them growing up together, she did not want such a tragedy to happen. What's more, up to now, the case has really turned into a big deal and a trivial matter.

Songhe Restaurant is the most magnificent restaurant on Songhe Street. It is three stories high and stands out from the crowd.

Scholars in Kyoto always eat three meals a day. When it's time to eat, many students from well-off families come to invite their friends.

Li Haitang didn't like noisy, so he asked the waiter to find a private room on the second floor for the group, so that it would be more convenient for a few people to talk.

The waiter wanted to refuse, but seeing that there were many female relatives among them, he thought Xiangli was here to see her, so he immediately understood and led the group to an adjacent private room on the second floor.

In the private room, there is a small fish tank and several pots of bamboo, which just block the dazzling light outside. The ice basin in the corner makes the temperature drop sharply, making it very comfortable.

After Li Haitang came in, he understood where the waiter's ambiguous eyes came from.

Against the wall, there is a mural hanging. There is a flower-like protrusion in the middle of the mural. If you pull off one of the small flowers, you can clearly see the situation next door.

Songhe Tower is really smart. If you do this, you can look at each other without looking obtrusive. This is the best strategy.

"Sir, would you like to order?"

The waiter wore a white cloth kerchief around his neck and greeted everyone enthusiastically.

He gave Li Haitang a recipe book with the restaurant's features and prices. Looking at some strange dish names, she suddenly felt a little pain in her head.

The pines and cranes are evergreen, the bamboo forest reflects the snow, and the sun sets by the river...

Li Haitang had a dull look on his face, but he could not be seen as uneducated, so he calmly ordered a few dishes.

When the dishes were served, she almost fell down from her chair, and her face became even more numb.

The bamboo forest reflects the snow, which sounds perfect. The waiter brought a plate of green bamboo shoots with a pinch of salt on top. It was very good and reasonable.

The sunset by the river is even more outrageous. A plate of salted duck eggs with green skin is indeed as yellow as the sunset.

"Man, here are two meat dishes, eight-treasure duck and braised pork!"

If you want to eat well, you can't pretend to be reserved. It's not that she is uneducated, but that the scholars are so pretentious! She waved her hand and closed the menu, and you could see the contempt in the waiter's eyes.

Li Haitang silently thought to himself, despise it, when his down-to-earth self-service restaurant comes out, Songhe Restaurant will be crowded, and everyone will look down upon others!

Fortunately, the food was served fairly quickly, and while everyone at the table was using their chopsticks, a few people also came to the private room next door.

Li Haitang was halfway through eating the dishes when he heard slightly louder voices next door.

"You're sincere, right? You know I can't eat meat lately, yet you still order chicken thighs!"

Li Haitang picked off the flowers and saw a fair-skinned scholar yelling depressedly, "I discovered Yang Xu's thigh, and you didn't see it, tsk tsk..."

The scholar looked grim, but when he mentioned Yang Xu, even Xiangli stopped his chopsticks and moved closer to the partition wall to listen.

"Oh, that kid offended someone and has been dead for half a year. Is it possible that you have to be a vegetarian for the rest of your life? Then you might as well become a monk!"

Another scholar laughed, and the others agreed, saying what he said was reasonable.

They weren't the ones who committed the murder, and they didn't do anything wrong. What does this have to do with eating meat?

"You didn't see it, so of course you said something sarcastic."

The white-faced scholar was very angry and felt that he was being looked down upon. He said it as if they were very brave.

If you are so brave, why haven't you come to the academy for a while?

"Yang Xu died unjustly. He was not a bad person."

I don't know who said something. Everyone stopped arguing and fell into a long silence. Someone could vaguely hear sighing.

Xiangli covered her mouth and her eyes dropped, but she held it in and didn't dare to say anything. This was another comment she heard about Yang Xu from others.

"What's the use of being a nice person? If you have bad luck, you have two devils next to you." The white-faced scholar thought that he hadn't eaten meat for half a year and was not the cause of the murderer, so he became angry and said, "Who are Chen Chun and Du Ruohe?" Background? After the incident, Chen Chun could continue to study in the academy, stay with Du Ruo and Su, pretending that nothing happened, and not afraid of being slaughtered in the middle of the night

Are you going to end up like Yang Xu? "

"Are you stupid?"

The rest of the people couldn't bear to listen and said, "Chen Chun is Du Ruo and his mother-in-law Chen's natal relative. The two of them have been together for a long time. Otherwise, in order to keep the secret, Yang Xu could be killed?"

Yang Xu's death was really unjust, because Du Ruo and that girl had a guilty conscience.

"I used to think that Du Ruo and Wen Jiewei were swaying their buttocks when walking, but it turns out they are really sissies with hearts like snakes and scorpions!"

Some people were dissatisfied and spoke too loudly, but were later reminded that they did not dare to talk nonsense. If there were rumors before, they would be reported to the mountain chief, and the person who talked nonsense would be driven off the mountain.

It is a stain for a scholar to be kicked out of the academy, and it will also affect his official career after the scientific examination in the future.

People are selfish and think about themselves. If the relationship between a few people is not good enough, they would not dare to say anything together.

"If it was you and me who killed people, I'm afraid we would have been executed long ago." After the white-faced scholar finished speaking, everyone fell silent again. After the waiter served the food, the food on the table was not touched for a few bites, and he was obviously in a low mood.
