"Dad, I will study hard and strive to become a great general in the future." Ma Zhi clenched his fists, and made up his mind to tell Magistrate Ma, that in order to become a Great General, he would give it his all.

Magistrate Ma comforted him from the bottom of his heart as he patted Ma Zhi's head.

With his father's support, he believed that he could do it.

After settling the matter with his eldest son, Magistrate Ma looked at his second and fourth sons and asked them what they wanted to do.

His second son Ma Shu swallowed his saliva and carefully looked at Magistrate Ma as he whispered to him. He wanted to earn money, so he earned a lot and a lot of money.

He didn't like studying, nor did he like being a general. He wanted to earn money and live the life of a rich old master.

When he thought about the pile of maidservants, who didn't even need to do anything and had their carriages delivered to his mouth, Ma Shu became excited.

That was the kind of life he wanted to live.

Earn money?

Magistrate Ma frowned as he looked at his second son, asking him if he wanted to do business?

The most despising of all were the industry and commerce. Thinking of this, his expression turned ugly.

"This won't do. What are you doing? Why are you going to do business? Aren't you trying to put our Ma family's face on the ground?"

The moment Magistrate Ma voiced his objection, Ma Shu's face immediately turned pale. He lowered his head, not daring to make a sound, as he knew that his father would not agree.

He didn't steal or rob, so why didn't he agree to do business?

Those four families in the county were still not in the business world? What kind of life did they live? He was extremely rich.

Father was too respectful, and was afraid that he would lose the Ma Clan's face.

Hu Juanjuan glared at Magistrate Ma, her eyes then turning pale white, she lowered her voice and said: "Who said that if you want to earn money, you can do business, look at those rich families, those families do not have any businesses, managing their businesses, does not belong to business." Her husband's brain really was ..

She helplessly shook her head and told him about the business and industry separately.

When Ma Shu heard, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Hu Juanjuan excitedly. He asked her if she agreed to let him earn money.

Hu Juanjuan did not think Magistrate Ma was against it. She nodded and said, "I agree, why not?" Seeing her son's happy face, she added another sentence, "It's just a book. If you don't study and read, how are you going to settle the score? Others might have lied to you, but you don't even know that you might be foolish enough to help them count the money! " She felt that these methods of provocation were good enough to motivate these children, forcing them to study.

Ma Shu looked at Hu Juanjuan in shock, then looked at Magistrate Ma. In that case, he had to read seriously too?

He .. He was just gloating in his heart towards his big brother, but who would've thought that words would offend him.

"Then I'll start studying and reading seriously. Do you agree to let me manage my family's businesses?"

What was the family business? It was only a few acres?

Hu Juanjuan looked at her second son speechlessly. She said that as long as he studied seriously and could read, he would be able to do what he liked.

Upon hearing this, Ma Shu cheered up. He earnestly expressed that he would no longer skip classes and would be diligent in his studies.

His eldest son, his second son was done for. Hu Juanjuan looked at Magistrate Ma complacently, then looked at his fourth son, Ma Li, in a blink of an eye. "Li'er, your big brother, second brother. What do you want to do? "

Ma Li was only eight years old, and it was the time when he liked to eat. He did not hesitate to shout loudly, saying that if he wanted to be a chef, he could eat a lot of delicious things just by being a chef.

The dessert his mother brought back today was very tasty. He had never eaten such a tasty dessert before and still wanted to eat more. Unfortunately, his mother didn't let him eat it, so he ate only that little.

Ma Li licked his lips, reflecting on the taste of the dessert that he had today.

Chef?

His youngest son was going to be a chef?

Then how could they persuade him to learn more?

Hu Juanjuan and Magistrate Ma looked at each other, both of their eyes had a helpless look, four sons, four personalities, the path they chose was also completely different.

"Father, mother, I don't need to learn when I become a chef, right?" Ma Li's round eyes turned and looked at Hu Juanjuan and Magistrate Ma smilingly.

If only he didn't need to learn, he wouldn't like learning and only liked to eat.

When he had money, he would definitely eat a lot of delicious things.

Hu Juanjuan and Magistrate Ma's faces darkened at the same time, both of their eyes narrowed slightly, looking at their youngest son affectionately.

Ma Li's heart trembled from their gazes as he smiled at them, pretending to be stupid, hoping that they would let him go.

"Is that all you want? Just want to be a chef? " Magistrate Ma asked Ma Li sternly. The ambitions of his other three sons were still valid, but just the ambition of his youngest son was not something he could agree with.

What was the point of having a grown man as a chef in the back kitchen?

A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, you know?

Ma Li shrunk his head. He felt that being a chef was pretty good, to be able to eat so many delicious things everyday, wasn't that good?

"Li'er, why do you want to be a chef?"

"Eat .." Ma Li replied Ma Qiaojuan quickly. His eyes were shining as he looked at her, "If I become a chef, I'll be able to eat a lot of delicious things everyday."

Hu Juanjuan: "..."

Magistrate Ma: "..."

The three brothers were speechless. They felt that their little brother was hopeless and had run off to be a chef in order to eat good food.

Didn't he know that as long as he had money, he wouldn't be able to eat anything?

Ma Shu could not watch any longer and poked at Ma Li's head, "You idiot, what are you thinking? If you were rich, what wouldn't you eat? When that time came, would he even need to do it himself? If you move your mouth, someone will do it in front of you. " How could he have such a stupid brother? This was too embarrassing. Luckily, no one else knew. If they knew, they would definitely laugh out loud.

Ma Li read Ma Shu and then blinked his eyes and scratched his head, "That's right, why didn't I think of that? Then I .. Then should I also go and earn money like second brother? "

"Alright, you're still young. You can slowly think about it when you're older." Hu Juanjuan let out a silent sigh. They had gone too far, her youngest son was still so young and had not settled down. She shouldn't have asked such a profound question.

"Alright then!" Ma Li could not think of anything else and obediently nodded his head.

Ma Da looked at Hu Juanjuan, telling her to definitely find a chance to test Magistrate's Wife and see if they could learn from him.

Hu Juanjuan nodded her head, she said that she would ask Magistrate's Wife about it in a while, but do not hold too much hope on this matter, Mr. Luo was not an ordinary person, and would not casually teach others.

Even Mr. Luo, who didn't even want to teach the crown prince, was he really willing to teach his son? She didn't dare think about it.

Mr. Luo who was completely unaware of this, raised his thumb towards Li Qingling, and continuously nodded his head, saying that it was delicious.

It had been a long time since he had eaten the food Li Qingling cooked, and now that he had finally eaten it again, he was so excited that he almost cried.

If it wasn't because he was afraid of burdening Li Qingling, he really wished that Li Qingling could cook everyday.

Eating the food made by Li Qingling and then eating the food made by others were incomparable.

His mouth was being spoiled by Li Qingling, and he looked down on others.

"Xiao Ling, when are you going to cook next? "Remember to tell me in advance that I'll get someone to buy two bottles of good wine for us to drink."

How could he not drink wine with such delicious food?

He went out today, so he didn't know that Li Qingling had personally cooked today. Otherwise, he would have bought wine long ago.

"..."

He hadn't even finished his meal this time and was already thinking of the next time?

Li Qingling smiled as he looked at Mr. Luo, and then said indifferently: Grand Master, you cannot drink alcohol.

"... I'll just drink a little, a little. " Mr. Luo pointed with his fingers, hoping that Li Qingling would agree to let him drink a little and satisfy his craving.

Being controlled by Li Qingling, how long had it been since he last drank a cup of wine?

Every time he saw others drinking, he could only look on at them with jealousy and envy. He was always a little suspicious of whether Old Man Xue had done this on purpose to stop him from drinking.

"I'll write a letter and ask Grandfather, and see if you can drink?"

"..." "When I write back and ask Old Man Xue, when will he be able to drink again?" I know about my body. A little alcohol is fine, but it might be good for my body! "

Li Qingling put down his chopsticks, crossed his hands, and looked at Mr. Luo with a serious expression. He said with a calm voice: "Grand Master, do you still want to see Little Yan and the others get married and have children? Do you still want to hug your great-grandchildren? " After asking a few questions in a row, Mr. Luo was stunned.

He swallowed his saliva and raised the white flag. "Fine, fine, fine. I don't want to drink anymore." For the sake of being able to see a few children get married and have children, for the sake of being able to hold his great-grandchildren, he had no choice but to endure his craving.

Think about it. He sacrificed too much.

Seeing that Mr. Luo had compromised, the corner of Li Qingling's mouth rose. He picked up a piece of Red Braised Meat that Mr. Luo liked to eat, coaxed him as if he were a child, "In order to reward you, I've decided to cook for you tomorrow. If you want to eat anything, just say it." Old child, old child, if not coaxing, a certain old child will be sulking.

It was easy for her to get rowdy with those old men.

When he heard Li Qingling say that he would be cooking tomorrow, Mr. Luo instantly became happy. What do you mean by drinking wine or not, he had already thrown it to the back of his mind. He smiled merrily at Li Qingling as the names of the dishes slipped out from his mouth.

Li Qingling nodded, he said that it was fine, I will make it for you tomorrow.

"Alright, alright, alright. Then I will wait." To be able to eat so many delicious things, it would be fine even if he didn't drink alcohol.

The other young masters were also very happy. After they had taken advantage of their grand-teacher's glory, they would be able to eat delicious food again tomorrow.

After this meal, their stomachs were all full. If they ate like this every day, they would soon become fat.

Li Qingling saw that they were lying on chairs without moving an inch, smiling as he chased them away so that they could go for a walk and eat less.
