Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 318 Tribute
The west courtyard where the father-in-law lived was originally not big, and there were quite a lot of people around him. Now there is really no room in the inner house. Ning Wan stopped the second aunt and the third aunt to make room for them.

The house where the father-in-law lives in the outer courtyard is now idle. There is a small hall outside and a small side room inside. When you go out the door, you face the screen wall outside the mansion. If you go around, you will find the west gate. She said to Tieshi: "We just live Here, it is convenient for you to come and go in and out on weekdays."

Lu Tieshi naturally nodded in agreement, "I think it's not bad here, the huts on both sides are just for the guards to live in." So he asked people to bring in all the things they brought.

In fact, everything else here is good, but there is no kang.Don't look at the heated kang as nothing, but in winter in Liaodong, it will be very cold at night without a heated kang.But since the daughter-in-law chose this house, it must be reasonable.Therefore, people from the Zhou family came several times to persuade them, but Tie Shi sent them away, and then told the guards and maids, "Go and buy some more quilts and hand stoves for everyone!"

Ning Wan said from behind: "Find a few people who will make the kangs and pay some wages in advance, and come here tomorrow morning to put on the kangs for these houses, at worst we will dismantle them when we leave."

Seeing everyone leaving, Tie Shi asked with a soft smile, "What are you doing?" He didn't understand why his daughter-in-law couldn't live in a good house, but insisted on crowding here, but in front of outsiders, he had to Totally on the wife's side.

Before Ning Wan could answer, Lu Tieyuan ran in and said in a hurry: "Second brother, why do you insist on living here! The Chunxiao Courtyard that your aunt prepared for you, is there anything in it? The maids serving are also very beautiful Hurry up and follow me, you don’t need to bring anything!” Pulling Lu Tieshi, he was about to leave.

Lu Tieshi understood everything, raised his hand and brushed him away, "Since it's that good, go live!"

"Take it as if I don't want to go!" Lu Tieyuan said, "How could they let me live in such a nice place!"

"Then you go where you should go!"

Lu Tieyuan has always been very thick-skinned, and he was not embarrassed to be kicked out, so he sat down on the chair and did not move, "Second brother, they say you made a fortune selling charcoal, give me 1000 taels of silver to use, my brother owes you money outside." The debt has not been repaid."

Now that Lu Tieshi has official authority, he stopped doing it himself, and shouted, "Come on!" Two guards came in and dragged Lu Tieyuan out.While struggling, Lu Tieyuan turned around and shouted loudly: "100 taels is fine, no, then [-] taels, I borrowed it, I can make a written receipt for you, and I will pay it back in two days!"

Seeing Tie Shi's expression of disdain, Ning Wan reprimanded him: "Eunuch is seriously injured, and you are still messing around outside. If Eunuch finds out and gets angry, no matter how bad the wound is, let alone your brother, I will call someone to beat you." You!" Then he waved someone to push him away.

Tie Shi sighed and said, "I just heard that the errand that father arranged for him was dismissed long ago, and his sister-in-law was so angry that he carried the child back to her mother's house."

No wonder I didn't see Mrs. Dong at her father-in-law's just now, Ning Wan said: "Actually, it's not entirely his fault. He, like Baozhu and Baolu, was raised and abandoned."

"I was a little bit close at the time." Tie Shi didn't understand at first, but now he understands it all, but because his father was injured and he couldn't speak ill of him, he smiled to his daughter-in-law: "Wan'er is really clever. Guessing the Zhou family's plan, one move will defeat their trick!"

The Zhou family has always been so shameless, how could Tieshi stop using beauties when he came to Anpingwei?Ning Wan snorted, "Some people are so stupid that they never thought of it!"

Lu Tieshi also felt that he was really stupid. Zhou family arranged a place and he agreed, "I really didn't expect it. Fortunately, there is a daughter-in-law, Zhuge, who reminded me." But he quickly squeezed his wife's hand again, "Although I will Go in the past, but if you see someone trying to pounce on you, you will definitely leave immediately!"

"I believe you too, but your status is different from now on. The people who pounce on you again are not the country girls from the uncle's mother's family and the second aunt's family. They have become ladies from the official family. You have to be careful!" Ning Wan Wan said sourly, "They are all better-looking than me, younger than me, and they are also knowledgeable about books and etiquette, and they can play piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and so on."

Lu Tieshi laughed, pulled his wife into his arms, and took a few mouthfuls of incense, "Actually, daughter-in-law, you are complimenting yourself. You are young and good-looking, and you are well-educated. You can write beautifully and play chess well." Good job!" He said enthusiastically, "It's been a long time since I touched chess pieces, I'll go buy a set of chess tomorrow, and we'll talk about two games when we're free."

Ning Wan nodded, but snorted again, "Remember! You are not allowed to go to the Zhou family's inner house, and you are not allowed to step in!"

"I'm a bit stupid, but with my daughter-in-law teaching me, I won't be fooled even if the Zhou family sets up a net." But he planned for his wife, "From tomorrow onwards, I will add a few more guards to your side, It's more convenient for you to have things."

"That's not necessary. The Zhou family won't do anything. They have people in the court. As long as they find a way to explain the matter of Zhizhou to the past, it will be fine. At this time, they are going to be a man with their tails between their legs. Even if they seduce you, it is not impossible The purpose, if you can submit a statement and say that the son-in-law of Commander Zhou led the rescue, it is reasonable to say that Li'an Pingcheng did not break the city."

For the military officers guarding the city, there is a huge difference between breaking the city and not breaking it, and the attitude of the court is completely different when dealing with it.Although the city wall of Anpingwei was broken, but in the end they drove the barbarians out of the city, it can be regarded as not breaking the city, so it would be easier for Commander Zhou to get rid of the crime.

Lu Tieshi has always been proud of his extraordinary martial arts skills, and he has been invincible since he joined the army, but today he found that he still knows too little about conspiracy, and said with admiration: "I never thought that my wife is really much smarter than me!"

Ning Wan smiled, "It's not your nature to think about such things, but there are people like Commander Zhou in this world."

"But I'm still smarter than you!" Lu Tieshi nodded his wife's forehead solemnly and said, "Because I know I want to marry you!"

Ning Wan was amused by him and laughed, and hurried to point him, "No! I'm the smartest, because I married you!"

The two were arguing very happily, when they heard a "dang" sound at the door, it turned out that Sheng'er came to deliver the hand stove, and he pushed the door recklessly, but saw the two people hugging each other for fun, and wanted to go back, but he missed it. Dropped a copper hand stove to the ground.

Ning Wan blushed, and quickly pushed Tie Shi away and said, "Here, I took out the sand in your eyes for you, so go if you have something to do."

"It's really comfortable," Tie Shi blinked, "Commander Zhou was going to pick up the wind, but I didn't agree, and I will come back after patrolling the city in a while."

Ning Wan also said sternly: "We live in the Commander's Mansion now, but it's not easy to bother about the cost. We can simply open a small kitchen, and it's easy to buy and cook by ourselves. Also, the cost of the father-in-law's cost is also high." We pay for it, as long as people are familiar with it, there is no need to change it."

"That's right, just look at the arrangement," Tie Shi went out, and said, "I'll come back for dinner tonight."

"I know, I'll keep it for you."

Anpingwei was bigger than Hutai, and it took more than an hour after Tieshi came back from patrolling the city. The two first went to the father-in-law's house to greet Anping, and Ning Wan brought out the food, rice for two nights, a plate of radishes, and a bowl Sauce, "I just arrived in Anping today. I went to the butcher's shop late, and the meat was sold out long ago, only the skin was left. The market also left early, and I only encountered a confiscated stall selling big carrots. We will make some .”

The dishes are really simple: wash the carrots without peeling off the skin, cut them vertically twice, then cut them horizontally into three-quarter-thick slices, blanch them in boiling water and put them on a plate, the red skin becomes slightly lighter The pink, snow-white flesh became translucent, and it was just piled up on the plate without any seasoning; a bowl of sauce was fried with the skin of the meat, and the skin was first carefully removed from the hair and fat, and stewed over a low heat After one hour, cut into small cubes, add more oil, and fry the pepper, aniseed, onion, and ginger until they are fragrant, and then fry the pork skin until it turns golden yellow. Eat radish slices that are spicy and only slightly sweet.

Both of these dishes are unrefined dishes, and they are too embarrassing to serve them even when the farmhouse treats guests, but in fact, they are really salty, fragrant and mellow when paired with white rice, and they are the best meal!Especially the pork skin, it was cooked just right, not hard to bite, but also had a springy feeling, even Ning Wan ate a big bowl of rice.

Tie Shi ate three bowls of rice, and finally ate up the remaining radishes dipped in pork skin sauce. He put down his chopsticks and sighed, "Go home and eat the rice cooked by your wife. No delicacies from mountains and seas can compare to it!" He winked at Ning Wan again. With a smile, "And don't worry." Anpingwei's current situation is indeed chaotic, and it's no wonder that his daughter-in-law is cautious, and she has to arrange the accommodation and food herself.

Seeing that he understood her thoughts, Ning Wan smiled and said, "I also boiled a pot of skin jelly by the way. Tomorrow it will be frozen and mixed with garlic and soy sauce as a side dish. I loved it the most when I was a child!" In fact, she Don't worry about who poisoned Tieshi or something, they dare not!But these nasty things might get some medicine in the hook bar, they don't want to be famous, Tie Shi will always ask for more.

In the end, Lu Tieshi didn't know what skin jelly was, so Ning Wan had to tell him, "It's just to cut the skin into small cubes, add water and boil it over low heat, without any oil or salt, until the soup is milky white." , and then put it in a basin, and it will freeze overnight, cut into small pieces and eat with seasonings, I especially like the feeling of slippery and bouncy!"

When the daughter-in-law talked about the delicious food, her eyes narrowed, and her expression was infinitely intoxicated. Lu Tieshi, who didn't pay much attention to appetite, couldn't help thinking, "I want to taste it tomorrow morning!"

The two of them talked for a while about Anpingwei before getting on the couch. It turned out that there was a wooden couch several feet wide in this room, which was actually used for occasional rest. Extra fun!Usually the big kang is at least a dozen feet wide, and you can roll it freely, but now the two people can only stick to each other tightly, if one person moves, the other will know it is not counted, and one must be careful not to fall off the couch.However, it is not difficult for a couple who love each other to live. They only need a little space anyway.

After a while, Ning Wan smiled and said, "Go to sleep quickly, you don't know how many things are waiting for you tomorrow."

"It's the same with you. Many people and things will come to you."

However, what is this? They are all young and energetic, and they have made up their minds to rectify Anping.

When Ning Wan got up early in the morning, her body was warm, she was holding a hand stove, and there was another one at her feet, but the iron stone was nowhere to be seen, only when he went to practice boxing, she got up and took out the boiled skin jelly yesterday and cut it into pieces. After picking up the plate, the man came back, stretched out his head and said, "It turns out that the skin jelly is like this!"

"Try it," Ning Wan dipped a piece of jelly with garlic and put it in his mouth, only to see a trace of hoarfrost on his hair, and suddenly realized: "Did you go out last night?"

"There's still a gap in the city wall, I'll go and have a look." Lu Tieshi smiled and said, "This jelly really suits my taste! We both like to eat the same thing."

Ning Wan then understood that he was afraid that he would come back because he had something to do when he first arrived, and he would leave again when he fell asleep. Thinking about it again, how could Tie Shi's temper allow him to go home and rest even if there was a gap in the city wall!I couldn't help but feel guilty, "It turns out that I really made trouble for you when I arrived."

"Where, if you weren't here, how could I have such a good meal?" Tie Shi smiled sweetly at her, "I'll be busy these few days, and then I'll be fine."

After serving him breakfast, Ning Wan said, "Go ahead, it's only right to close the city wall again." As for herself, she also has things to do!

After ordering to set up the kang and build the stove, she went to her father-in-law to inquire about Ann. Ning Wan put aside all the posts she had received, but went to Zhizhou's mansion first.

The magistrate's mansion is now holding funerals with great fanfare. The street in front of the mansion is full of people mourning in plain clothes. Ning Wan enters through the open door, burns incense in front of the coffin, and is taken into the back hall by Madam Zhizhou. Then he softly persuaded: "Sorrow and change. And the sun is shining, and the court will make a judgment. Since your lord has already ascended the road to immortality, we who remain in this world have to work hard for the country and our family."

Although no one saw it, everyone knew that Zhizhou must have been killed by the commander. Mrs. Zhizhou was already distraught, and what she hated even more was that the commander even slandered her own adult Tongyi, which made her almost crazy, and Anping City All the civil servants here are against her, turning Zhizhou Mansion into a battlefield for crusade against commanders and even military officers—of course, it is only in words and on paper.When Mrs. Zhizhou saw Mrs. Lu, she immediately scolded Commander Zhou, and instead blamed him for collaborating with the enemy, "If he hadn't lured the barbarians into the city, how could Anping Guard be destroyed so quickly? Not at all!"

There have always been many conflicts among civil and military officials, and the disturbance in Anping City was particularly fierce, which made Hutai County Magistrate Qian and Xu Qianhu at odds. Ning Wan even used Magistrate Qian's dissatisfaction with Commander Zhou to instigate Ning Qing sued Liu Wulang in a lawsuit.But she can't tell right from wrong about the age-old accounts between civil and military affairs.

Now all the civil servants in the city are on the side of Zhizhou, and although the military officials don't fully support Commander Zhou, they gloat a lot about Zhizhou's death.

A man has his own position, and Tie Shi was ordered to Anping only to defend the barbarians, so he would not even ask about the case before the city was broken.

But Ning Wan thought that one is that the dead are the most important, and that she, as the wife of Tieshi, could not immediately resolve the two conflicts when she came to Shangxiang, but she also made a gesture of relaxation. After all, Anping was razed. Ruin, now it is completely different from the past, the bustling streets before are gone, funerals are being held everywhere, and the wailing is moving, it is really sad-at this time, no matter civil or military officials, they should actually One way is to defend the city and keep the people safe.
