I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Tung Fook Restaurant?

Sun Fujia didn't expect to hear the name of this restaurant from his disciple. Did he remember that his disciple seemed to live in Yi'anfang?After all, it was in Dongshi, not a short distance from Huaizhen Square.

It's fine if it's other restaurants.

However, this restaurant is often heard in the mouths of court princes recently.

His Majesty and servants also often go there.

When his disciple asked him this question, he couldn't help thinking too much.

Seeing the change in his teacher's face, Wang Shouzheng was startled, and his eyes widened. Could it be that the restaurant in his cousin's house is not as simple as it looks?
Sun Fujia considered for a while, and then slowly said: "What are you telling me these things for?"

Wang Shouzheng immediately told his teacher honestly what happened yesterday and today: "My cousin also said that if my teacher is an official in the court, he can ask him for advice, and maybe he will get some surprises." .”

Sun Fujia breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

He also thought that his disciple had heard some rumors - for example, His Majesty, some important ministers in the court would go to the restaurant, and then he had some crooked thoughts that he shouldn't have.

The result is such a thing.

"It's indeed a bit of a surprise." Sun Fujia smiled slightly and said softly, "I didn't expect that you and the store owner are still cousins."

Sun Fujia doesn't go to the Tongfu restaurant very often, but goes about once every five days.

The dishes there are really not cheap. He is different from other officials and has no other way to make money. If he eats every day, his life will inevitably be cramped.

Wang Shouzheng pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Sun Fujia continued: "Your cousin is a capable and courageous man, the son of Chaozhong Ma Shiyu and Liu Jishi, who bullies and wants to steal your cousin's food."

"Your cousin is not afraid of the rich and powerful, and somehow he asked them to send his son to the government office, convicted a robber, and got the tattoo and ransom."

Wang Shouzheng's heart skipped a beat.

Compared with his teacher, he is not a high-ranking official in serving the censor, but compared to his teacher, he is just a poor scholar with no fame, and his father is only doing hard work to earn some hard money.

To him, those two officials were really big shots.

But even such a big man was subdued in front of his cousin.

surprise?

What is a surprise?

That's it.

He couldn't help but be thankful to himself, fortunately he didn't listen to his mother's bewitching, but went to apologize to his cousin, otherwise this matter might not have gone away so easily.

"You are sensible." Sun Fujia looked at Wang Shouzheng with satisfaction. He is not a very smart disciple, but he has a personality like him, otherwise he would not have accepted him as a disciple.

"Although your cousin is a bit cautious, he is just a reasonable person. If you treat him peacefully, even if he doesn't want to see you again, he won't take action against you."

"If there is a chance in the future, make friends with your cousin more. I heard that he is a man of great learning. There is a bad person in Chang'an County who was taught by him, and he is now famous all over Chang'an."

Wang Shouzheng was a little stunned by Sun Fujia's words.

When did my cousin have such a skill?

When the two families were in contact with each other, Wang Shouzheng's only impression of his cousin was that he was a better-looking scholar who could only concentrate on studying hard.

There has been no contact during this period, how can there be such a big change?

Wang Shouzheng smiled forcedly, and complied. After exchanging pleasantries with his teacher for a while, he asked for his resignation.

He hurried home.

The woman greeted her expectantly: "Son, what did your teacher say, is it necessary to severely punish that heartless little thing!"

Wang Shou was stern, and waved his hands: "Mother, do you know that you have caused trouble!"

Get into trouble?

This word made the woman startled, looking at her son, she didn't react.

How did you get into trouble?

"Do you know who my cousin is from?" Wang Shouzheng asked again.

The woman's eyes were full of disbelief.

Wang Shouzheng sighed softly, and said earnestly: "My cousin can make the officials of the fifth and sixth grades in the court bow their heads and admit their mistakes. He just kicked you out yesterday. He is a kind-hearted cousin, for the sake of relatives. I left you a piece of thin noodles."

The fifth and sixth rank officials bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes?

The woman was startled, her face turned pale, and her voice trembled a little: "This, this is a joke, your cousin is just running a restaurant."

Wang Shouzheng shook his head in a serious manner, "Can there be any truth to what the teacher said?"

The woman's face paled a bit, too, could the words of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple be a lie?For those of them who are officials, this is not a pleasant thing to hear.

That family has come up with such a big trick without saying a word?
A strong sense of regret welled up in her heart, and swept through her body in an instant. If she had known that she would have this day, she would have lent some food money to their family that day.

What Wang asked for was nothing more than a bucket of corn.

Just a bucket of corn!

Wang Shouzheng looked at his mother and sighed softly.With this kind of thing done by my mother, I am afraid that it is impossible for me to befriend my cousin as the teacher said.

But that's fine.

I didn't expect that my cousin who suddenly became mysterious could help me.

This incident taught my mother a lesson, let her restrain herself a bit in the future, and stop doing those embarrassing things that follow her power.

The woman was worried for a long time, then said tremblingly, "My son, what do you think we should do, your father and I offended him yesterday, do you think he will take revenge?"

"What if he retaliates against you and prevents you from being promoted in the imperial examination."

Thinking of this, the woman's face became even more miserable, and as soon as the tears fell, she cried, "My son, it's mother who is sorry for you, mother who hurt you"

She dragged on for half a sentence and didn't finish crying.

Wang Shouzheng waved his hand, and said softly, "Mother, what do you think I came back so late for?"

"I went to Huaizhen Square, and apologized to my cousin."

Only then did the woman's face soften a little, and she looked at her son distressedly. She could almost imagine how her son was humiliating in front of his mean cousin.

"Mother, don't blame your son for talking too much, be cautious in your words and deeds, and be more polite to others in the future." Wang Shouzheng said softly as he sat down, "This is Chang'an, maybe you meet someone on the road, he is a person of the eighth or ninth grade. official, or a relative of a gentleman in the court"

The woman nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
