Tuoba Xian said: "Last time, Fengtang took command at Yanmen Pass to conquer Tuobaling. Will Tuobaling recognize Fengtang?"

Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment and said: "Logically...it won't happen."

"Because they withdrew their troops before they even met Tuobaling."

"But Tuobaling should know that Tang Yazi led a thousand huts in the pass to annihilate the two thousand cavalry elites from Daliao who sneaked into the pass."

"So Tuobaling should know the name Luo Fengtang."

"I suggest that we call him Tangyazi as much as possible, and don't mention the military camp or his full name, so that Tuobaling will think that your godson is just an ordinary businessman."

"But if he is serious and finds out from the villagers Tang Yazi's identity as a general, we will beat him face to face."

"After all, this is Changping Village, not a battlefield. We live our lives at home, and he also went south in disguise, without telling Tuoba Yu. He did not come here with troops to fight."

"So, if we really know Tang Yazi's true identity, we will speak openly!"

…

"Mr. Ling, I have brought your dinner to your room. Is it convenient for you to come in?"

Yang Ruoqing was holding a food box and stood at the door of Tuobaling's house, raising her hand and knocking on the door a few times.

"Squeak!"

The door of the room opened immediately, and Tuobaling stood inside. When he saw Yang Ruoqing, a smile appeared on his face.

"I'm really sorry for bothering you at home and bothering you to deliver food in person," he said.

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and said, "You are my mother-in-law's guest and my family's guest. You're welcome."

Then, she carried the food box directly into the house, went straight to the table, opened the lid of the food box, took out the bowls of food and placed them on the table.

"I heard from my mother-in-law that you come from a big place. Haha, there isn't much to eat or do in our small country place."

"However, these vegetables are grown by our farmers themselves. They are clean and safe to eat."

After Yang Ruoqing put the food on the table, she turned around and said to Tuoba Ling, who was following behind her.

Tuobaling smiled faintly, raised his hand again and made a fist and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Thank you sister-in-law for your hospitality."

"Sister-in-law?" Yang Ruoqing was startled.

"I am twenty this year and my husband is twenty-four. May I ask Mr. Ling how old you are?" she asked.

It's a little weird to be called sister-in-law by someone who looks older than me and is so arrogant.

Tuoba Ling said: "I am also twenty-four this year."

"How old were you born?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Tuoba Ling said: "My adoptive father said that I was born in October."

Yang Ruoqing smiled with relief, "Although I am younger than you, my man is one month older than you. He is in September, so you can call me sister-in-law."

Tuobaling smiled and said, "I've been here for a long time, but I haven't seen your husband yet. I would like to ask, is he not at home?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "My family also runs a small business. He went out recently and came back in the past few days."

Tuobaling said "Oh" and his eyes fell on the dishes on the table.

Chestnut roasted chicken, braised crucian carp, cold cucumber, and scrambled eggs with loofah strips.

A bowl of crispy white rice, and a small plate with a few pieces of spicy fermented bean curd on it, topped with glistening sesame oil.

The Five Zang Temple was immediately hooked and turned upside down.

"Eat it while it's hot." Yang Ruoqing noticed Tuobaling's state at a glance and greeted with a bright smile.

Tuobaling nodded and sat down.

As soon as he raised his chopsticks, Yang Ruoqing asked again: "We farmers don't understand those etiquette, but everyone just goes straight and says whatever they want."

"I would like to ask, Mr. Ling, how long do you plan to stay at my house this time?"

"Haha, I don't want to drive you away or anything, I just want to get to know you and make arrangements. After all, you brought a caravan with you!"

After hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Tuobaling put down the chopsticks he had just raised.

He raised his head and glanced at Yang Ruoqing, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but there was a hint of disgust in his heart.

A village woman is a village woman. Even if she looks good, she is still vulgar.

"I came here to visit Mrs. Xian. I saw that the scenery here is quite good, and I plan to stay for about ten days."

"Ah? Ten days?" Yang Ruoqing pretended to be surprised and subconsciously raised two fingers to make a gesture.

This small-minded attitude immediately made Tuobaling's eyes flash with a hint of astonishment, followed by disgust.

"Don't worry, you won't eat and drink for nothing." Tuobaling said with a faint smile, took out a gold ingot from his body and placed it on the table.

Yang Ruoqing was startled for a moment and then laughed.

He stared at the gold ingot, as if he couldn't take his eyes away, but he stood there without taking the gold ingot.

"Oh, Mr. Ling, what are you doing? Although we are from a farming family, we still don't lack money for a few meals."

"However, as for the clothes, beds, etc. for the dozen or so of you, I have to arrange them..."

Tuobaling raised his hand and interrupted Yang Ruoqing.

He took out another banknote from his body.

The denomination on the bank note is one hundred taels.

"On the way here, I also learned about some of your customs and price levels."

"For your six-member household, usually three taels of silver can meet the entire year's expenses."

"I will give you one hundred taels of silver, and we, a group of fifteen people, will stay with you for ten days."

"Please bear with me during these ten days," Tuobaling said patiently.

I never thought that a young daughter-in-law who looked so delicate and energetic could be so greedy for money, and her family spirit in her heart would not change just because of her appearance.

A bit disappointed.

Yang Ruoqing smiled with a lingering smile on her face, "Oh, Mr. Ling is really generous. This is the first time I have seen such generosity."

"Since Mr. Ling is so concerned about the livelihood of the people here, and he knows exactly how much a family spends in a year, I am not very talented, so I have to come and settle the accounts."

Yang Ruoqing clasped her fingers and began to calculate for Tuobaling: "One hundred taels of silver is enough to cover food, drink, and toilette for ten days, and that day is ten taels of silver."

"Fifteen people eat, drink, and defecate every day. In other words, each person's daily expenditure is less than one tael of silver, or six hundred yuan, right?"

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's account, Tuobaling was stunned for a moment.

Yang Ruoqing pulled out a small and exquisite abacus from her lower back like a magic trick, lifted her skirt and sat down directly in front of Tuobaling.

The delicate, thin fingers dexterously fiddled with the abacus, making a series of rhythmic, crisp and pleasant sounds.

"Pork is currently priced at 15 cents per catty in Wa, and local chickens are raised at home. A hen weighing three jins costs 30 cents per catty, and crucian carp costs 7 cents per catty."
