The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 53: Meeting a Warrior Again

Tang Peipei cleaned the fish that Lu Lifeng had forked and marinated it with salt and chili oil.

I took Yuan Mingkang and Lu Xinyu to pick up some dry branches, lit the fire, put the pot on the stove, and boiled some hot water for everyone to drink to warm themselves up.

Due to lack of time, the fish were only marinated for a cup of tea. Then several fish were skewered with branches and roasted over the fire.

He lit another fire, set up a pot, took out the pancakes he had bought in the morning, brushed oil on the bottom of the pot, and spread them one by one in the pot to heat them.

Soon, the aroma of food wafted out.

This caused everyone's stomach to growl after having been traveling for the whole morning.

Tang Peipei put the baked pancakes in a casserole and cooked a pot of vegetable soup in the casserole.

After the soup was cooked, Tang Peipei saw that the fish was almost done, so she put the fish on a plate and distributed the cakes to everyone.

"It smells so good, sister. This grilled fish is so delicious." Lu Xinyu said while eating.

"Yes, sister, this fish is the most delicious fish I have ever eaten." Lu Zidong also said.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Especially now that the weather is cold, eating this spicy fish makes them feel warm.

Tang Peipei thought that the grilled fish would lack a lot of flavor without cumin and pepper.

"If you like it, eat more. Next time I see fish, I'll cook it for you." Tang Peipei hadn't grilled fish for a long time and missed the taste very much. When he found all the ingredients in the future, he would definitely make them authentic grilled fish.

Just as everyone was eating with gusto, two horses galloped past.

Because it was far away, it didn't have much impact on Tang Peipei and others, but when someone passed by, everyone still looked up.

Lu Xinyu was stunned when she saw two people riding horses passing by. By the time she reacted, they had disappeared.

Lu Xinyu stood up and wanted to chase after him, but after running two steps, she stopped again, turned around and pulled Tang Peipei up, wanting Tang Peipei to chase after him.

Everyone looked at Lu Xinyu in confusion. What happened to this girl? Aren't they just two people passing by? Although they were riding fast, it didn't affect them. Why was she so excited?

Seeing Lu Xinyu's anxious face, Tang Peipei asked, "What's wrong? Do you know those two people just now?"

Everyone was even more curious. Lu Xinyu had never left Qi County and had always been by their side. So how did she get to know someone they didn't even know?

Everyone looked at Lu Xinyu, and only then did Lu Xinyu realize that she was too anxious.

He coughed awkwardly and said, "No, nothing, I don't know him, I just thought the guy running in front of me was so handsome. Hehe~~"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

"Xinyu has good eyesight. We didn't even see what that person looked like. But, you are a girl, you should be reserved." Liu Yeling said.

She always felt that she gave birth to a tomboy. Look, how could a girl say that a man is handsome in public?

"I got it." Lu Xinyu had something on her mind and was in no mood to argue with her mother, so she said perfunctorily.

Seeing her like that, Tang Peipei became even more curious. Who was the person who just passed by? Why did she feel that Lu Xinyu looked absent-minded?

Before Tang Peipei could figure out what was going on, the sound of horse hooves came closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of them.

Tang Peipei looked up and saw, oh, I don’t know him, but I have seen him before.

When the man saw Tang Peipei, he was stunned at first, then smiled awkwardly.

How did he meet a creditor? But he had no money now. Thinking about the instructions from his master just now, he said with a stiff upper lip: "Well, do you have any food? Can you share some with us?"

I don't know what this master was thinking. He just passed by and smelled the fragrance of other people's food. He insisted on eating it and had to ask for it.

How could he, a deputy general, fall to the point of begging for food?

Just when he was feeling extremely depressed, a sweet voice interrupted him.

Looking at the extra grilled fish in his hand, he raised his head and looked at Lu Xinyu who was smiling brightly in front of him.

Yang Tingzhen was a little embarrassed, "Well, I don't have anything on me right now..."

Tang Peipei knew what he was going to say. It was just a little food, so she didn't care. She said, "Take it. It's not worth much."

Yang Tingzhen looked at Tang Peipei and nodded gratefully.

Tang Peipei handed him two more pancakes. For a man this big, one fish might not be enough.

Yang Tingzhen was even more grateful to Tang Peipei.

After Yang Tingzhen left, Tang Peipei and the others had almost finished their meal, so they packed up and prepared to set off.

Lu Xinyu strongly requested to drive the carriage with Tang Peipei, and Yuan Minkang got into the carriage.

The group started their journey again.

Yang Tingzhen rode on horseback to meet his master and handed him the fish and cakes.

Mu Jintang took it and handed one of the pancakes to Yang Tingzhen, who smelled it and started eating it with big mouthfuls.

After Mu Jintang and the other person finished eating, they both felt a lingering aftertaste. The food in this family was so delicious, even the cakes were so soft and fragrant.

As the two were preparing to set off, they saw two carriages approaching in the distance.

Yang Tingzhen said quickly: "Master, the food is for this group of people."

Mu Jintang nodded, "Did you ask them where they were going?"

Yang Tingzhen touched his head awkwardly, "That young lady driving the carriage is the one who lent me money to buy medicine for your injury last time. I forgot to ask this just now."

When Mu Jintang saw the carriage approaching, he bowed to the people in the carriage.

"Thank you all for the meal! Where are you going?" Mu Jintang asked.

Tang Peipei noticed them early in the morning. When he saw Mu Jintang coming forward to ask, he stopped the carriage and replied, "You're welcome. It's not worth anything." But he avoided answering his question about where he was going.

Although she was kind enough to lend them a hundred taels and gave them food, she still had to be on guard against others.

But she was able to defend herself against others, but not against her own family.

When Lu Xinyu saw Mu Jintang, she had already forgotten everything. Seeing that her cousin did not answer other people's questions, she happily said: "We are going to the capital. I wonder where this brother is going?"

Tang Peipei turned around and looked at her cousin, who was usually very smart but now seemed a little silly, and warned her with her eyes not to talk nonsense.

But Lu Xinyu would not listen and jumped off the carriage directly. "Brother, if it's convenient for you, you can go with us. The food my cousin cooks is delicious."

Mu Jintang thought Lu Xinyu was just enthusiastic, and smiled, not knowing whether to refuse.

But Tang Peipei knew that her cousin looked carefree, but she was definitely not a kind-hearted person.

Judging from her positive attitude when she saw the man behind her and the flash of surprise in her eyes when she saw the man in front of her, Tang Peipei was sure that there must be something wrong here.

She discovered early on that her cousin had many secrets that no one knew, but she didn't tell anyone, so she didn't ask.

Judging from her behavior today, is it time to ask her?

Although she had a guess, she wasn't sure.

Mu Jintang had a mission to accomplish and had to set off in a hurry. It was definitely impossible for him to move slowly like their carriage.

Then he said politely, "I want to go to the capital too, but I have to go to Yu County first. If we are lucky enough to meet in the capital, I will definitely play the role of a good host and entertain you all."

Lu Xinyu said happily: "Okay, I will definitely go find my brother when the time comes. My brother, please remember what you said."

"Of course." He said, and politely made way.

Lu Xinyu got into the carriage reluctantly, which made Tang Peipei think that she was bewitched by beauty at such a young age.
