After wearing the book, I spoiled the powerful minister

Chapter 70 listen to you

Luo Lishi didn't expect to be able to come to a conclusion now, to agree on a marriage, and what she wanted was Chen Xiuyan's words.

"Wen Qian's daughter-in-law has troubled you." Luo Li apologized, "If my son or nephew wants to talk about marriage today, I will definitely go to your house to mention it in person, but my daughter's house will always..."

"Aunt Cuizhi, I understand." Chen Xiuyan replied, "Before it happened, the reputation of my daughter's family was very important. I also suffered from this loss back then. Fortunately, I met Wen Qian."

Talking with Chen Xiuyan, Luo Lishi also noticed that she was different from the rumors. She spoke generously, without arrogance or impetuosity. Sure enough, the rumors were all exaggerated, "Daughter-in-law Wen Qian, take some of the fried fruits I fried back home to taste."

"Thank you, auntie."

Tao Ya has already cleaned the earthen jar Chen Xiuyan brought and put it back into the basket, along with fruits.

"Mother, it's Laba porridge, but I see that there are more types of beans than in Laba." When Chen Xiuyan left, Tao Ya came out with the porridge, which smelled sweet and fragrant.

The portion is quite a lot, a big jar is enough for each person in the family to share more than half a bowl.

"It's someone who knows the relationship."

Carrying the basket, Chen Xiuyan reached out for the fruit in the crock pot while walking. They were fragrant and crispy, sweet but not greasy. Chen Xiuyan stopped after eating a few. After all, there was someone in the family who loved sweets more than herself.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. For dinner today, Chen Xiuyan made noodles and noodles with fried sauce.

Zhajiang Chen Xiuyan first fry the oil with fatty meat, add soybean paste from her mother's house, stir fry evenly, then add a little sugar, add a little salt, Zhajiang is ready.

Noodles Chen Xiuyan only cuts noodles in the simplest way, cut them up for later use, then cut some cucumbers and green onions, and fried a few poached eggs.

As soon as Luo Mingqing's donkey cart entered the door, Chen Xiuyan began to serve noodles. When the noodles were cooked, pick them up and put them in cold water. Each person took a bowl, scooped up fried sauce, put in shredded cucumbers and green onions, and put a poached egg on top for dinner. That's it.

Those who don't have enough to eat will have a bowl of eight-treasure porridge and fried fruits, and everyone will be full.

"Little aunt, what snacks will you make for us tomorrow?" Luo Mingnian is thinking about tomorrow's after dinner. During these days, he eats snacks every day. Luo Mingnian is used to it. Since he brought snacks every day, the relationship between him and his classmates They're all a lot closer.

"Do you have anything you want to eat?" Chen Xiuyan asked, "How about making snow jade dumplings?"

"Little aunt, do you know how to make snow jade dumplings?" Luo Mingnian has eaten Granny Su's, and he still can't forget it.

"The craftsmanship is not as good as Granny Su's, so I plan to make different flavors." Chen Xiuyan soaked glutinous rice, mung beans and red beans.

Before going to bed, Chen Xiuyan grinds the soaked glutinous rice into a slurry and puts it heavily in a large basin. The next day, she can get moist glutinous rice flour.

After returning to the room, Luo Wenqian had already prepared bath water for Chen Xiuyan, and only after lying down on the bed did Chen Xiuyan talk about Mrs. Lizheng talking to him today.

"Aunt Cuizhi made a marriage proposal for the Ming and Qing Dynasties, she said she was her natal niece, what do you think of this?" Chen Xiuyan asked.

"Let's decline it." Luo Wenqian replied without thinking.

"You didn't even tell Ming and Qing to make the decision?" Chen Xiuyan half got up and looked at Luo Wenqian in surprise.

"Then you should ask him tomorrow." Luo Wenqian sighed.

Chen Xiuyan sat up straight now, "Why are you sighing, is there something I don't know?"

"In Ming and Qing Dynasties, he liked Cai Jiaoyu's daughter." Luo Wenqian put his hands behind his head.

"Cai Jiaoyu was the county school the year before last. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he drove me to the county school in a donkey cart. I don't know how he met the daughter of Cai Jiaoyu's family. No matter how I ask him, he won't tell. "

"Ms. Ren went back to her grandmother to fulfill her filial piety last year. During those days, Ming and Qing were like losing her soul. I thought it was because of her young age. It would be fine if the matter passed. I don't think he still cares about it." Luo Wenqian was very excited. powerless.

"How do you know he's still thinking about it?" Chen Xiuyan asked curiously.

"A few days ago, the Ming and Qing Dynasties did not go to see the situation of our family's grain cultivation. Our family only has eight acres of land in the village, and the remaining 52 acres are in Linxian County. Together with Zhuangzi, Cai Jiaoyu's hometown is in Linxian County." Luo Wenqian sighed again.

"I went to Cai's old house in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although I didn't visit the house, I did not know about the melons and fruits produced by Zhuangzi. I didn't know it until Cai Jiaoyu thanked me personally. It was a letter from Lin County."

"This doesn't explain anything, Ming and Qing may be thinking of you." Chen Xiuyan asked doubtfully, "Did Ming and Qing admit that they like other girls?"

"I didn't say it personally." Luo Wenqian smiled wryly, "I didn't ask either, I was afraid that asking would make him feel more uncomfortable. The so-called marrying a daughter-in-law with one's head down and marrying a daughter with one's head up, Cai Jiaoyu's rank is not high, but he is still an official, so he just A daughter, even if she doesn't care about her family status, she still wants to find a scholar as her son-in-law."

"If you have a good future, as your eldest nephew, Ming and Qing will definitely get extra points. You should do well in this provincial examination." Chen Xiuyan said seriously, "As for whether Ming and Qing like him or not, I will try to observe and see. Aunt Cuizhi mentioned the matter, listen to his opinion, and I will also inquire about it."

"Let me tell you that it is one aspect of a woman's family background to marry. The most important thing is to find a confidant. No matter how high the family is married, what's the point if her husband is not a caring person." Chen Xiuyan said, "As long as you work hard, we It’s not much different from others.”

Luo Wenqian smiled, unknowingly the burden on his shoulders seemed to be heavy, but seeing Chen Xiuyan fighting for his family made his heart warm.

"By the way, I wrote a play, do you want to read it?" Chen Xiuyan asked with her eyes shining as she thought of her script.

Luo Wenqian lit the oil lamp again, carefully read the story written by Chen Xiuyan, and listened to her plan.

"You are really brave." Luo Wenqian was really taken aback, "You still think about cooperating with Hongyuelou. Usually women just want to stay away when they meet. After all, there are people behind who can open a brothel."

"Who?" Chen Xiuyan asked, "Is there any power behind Hongyuelou?"

"The largest salt merchant in Shandong." Luo Wenqian replied, "The reason why the salt merchant can become big and rich is that there are officials behind it. I have heard people say that all the brothels in Shandong are backed by salt merchants."

"Wang Dianli told you?" Chen Xiuyan asked.

"No, it's Ning Youjin." Luo Wenqian thought that Ning Youjin approached him to talk about this matter a few days ago, mainly because he had seen Chen Xiuyan come out of Hongyue Tower.

"The person with the highest achievement in the Ning family now works as the servant of the household department. The household department is in charge of the money bags of the whole country. It is the household department that businessmen are most willing to deal with. The Ning family is the most well-informed about businessmen." Luo Wenqian He explained, "I also heard about it from Ning Youjin a few days ago."

"Then can I sell this play?" Chen Xiuyan tilted her head and muttered.

"Don't take a share, if you want to sell it, sell it all at once." Luo Wenqian suggested.

"Listen to you."
