Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 329
After listening to Ning Wan's detailed description of Princess Dongping's words and expression when they broke up, Luo Bing and Tie Shi couldn't help being surprised, "Princess Dongping is not as simple as it seems on the surface!"

Ning Wan then realized: "It is the real ability to make everyone say that the Dongping Palace is simple and honest!"

Luo Bing also said: "I used to think that everyone's rumors were good, but now I realize that I am still superficial."

Tie Shi persuaded: "But since eldest brother doesn't even care about King Jing, there is no need to worry about Dongping Palace."

Ning Wan thought for a while but said, "Why do I think Princess Dongping is actually showing favor to us?"

Luo Bing and Tie Shi both looked at her, "Why do you think Princess Dongping is showing favor?"

"After all, we have been together for half a day, and we can feel that she is not a bad person from her words and demeanor, but she is very tolerant to me." Ning Wan was upset when she heard Princess Dongping mention Luo Yan, but it was actually because of respect for the king, but Now think about it calmly, one dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the nine sons are different, so if it is not good to respect the king, what is the matter with the King of Guandongping?And they are not even brothers, they are just cousins! "The second thing is, Princess Dongping is usually so cautious, why would she tell the story that she knows that Tie Shi will stay in the capital for a longer time? In fact, she still thinks that we are willing to marry Yan'er to the King of Dongping County because of this!"

Seeing that Luo Bing and Tie Shi didn't understand, Ning Wan laughed again: "Brother Luo wants to marry his younger sister, so naturally the first thing he wants is to hope that she can marry into a wealthy and stable family and live a long life. And Dongping The palace has always given the impression of being too honest and incompetent, so Big Brother Luo is worried, thinking that Yan'er will definitely live in a very uncomfortable life in the palace, so I don't even want to think about it, right?"

Luo Bing nodded, of course he wanted to marry his younger sister to a reliable family, and he really would not consider such a doormat as Dongping Palace, "Needless to say, I never thought of letting Yan'er marry into the royal family, even if I wanted to, I would think that Dongping Palace It's also really weak. You must know that King Dongping was born by the late emperor's concubine in his later years, and he almost had the potential to seize the throne. The emperor has never liked this young brother, so I thought that the Dongping Palace was precarious when I took the scientific examination. I don't know why. will perish.”

However, the other princes of the former emperor have long since disappeared, and the precarious Dongping Palace is still in good order. Princess Dongping even secretly hinted to the Luo family that the Palace is actually capable. Know everything.

Luo Bing said: "I used to think that my younger siblings were talented, but now I realize that I still underestimated them. If my younger siblings are men, and they take the imperial examinations to become officials, I would be willing to bow down!"

Tie Shi laughed, "My daughter-in-law's small brain, I'm not boasting in front of Brother Luo, it's really amazing. It's nothing more than making a lot of money in business before, but when the barbarians attacked the city, she made a lot of trouble. What a good idea, even the county magistrate Qian admired her very much, and when we arrived in Anpingwei, the officials and wives from the capital still admired her and did a lot of great things!" Then he brought Ning Wan with the officials and wives of Anpingwei They said a few things about running a charity bureau and labor force.

Ning Wan glanced at Tie Shi before he finished speaking, "Is there anyone who talks like that?"

"Brother Luo is not an outsider, so what if I tell you what's on my mind?"

Luo Bing had been with them before, so he knew it all along, so he smiled at this time, "What Tie Shi said was originally good, and I also agree that if he can boast of your good points, I will be much worse. Wei Shi needs to praise him more."

Ning Wan hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Luo is also very kind to my sister-in-law, caring and considerate." Her gaze caught Tie Shi looking at her eagerly, and the words she didn't want to say in front of others couldn't help but flow out, "Of course You are not bad too!"

Luo Bing said solemnly: "As long as a loving couple is very similar, or they complement each other, the two of you are also somewhat similar and complementary, it can be called a match made in heaven."

Ning Wan blushed, "Brother Luo is here to tease us again!" She quickly changed the subject and said, "I thought that since Princess Dongping has shown us that the Dongping Palace is actually capable of living a good life, then the reason for inviting me over is to let us go." I have seen the character and appearance of the King of Dongping County and so on. There is only one thing that I am very puzzled about. There are so many families in the capital, and there are quite a few people who are familiar with the Luo family. Princess Dongping can just ask any family member of the family to help make peace No? Why did you choose me as the matchmaker?"

"It's not that I'm underestimating myself, it's just that I just came from Liaodong, I'm not familiar with the capital, I hardly know Dongping Palace, and since Princess Dongping has a shrewd heart, she should know that I'm partial to Yan'er."

Brother Luo laughed and said: "Dongping Palace has never been in contact with outsiders, especially civil and military officials. It is the first time I heard that she is going to invite guests to hold a flower show. And Dongping Princess picked you, it is precisely her shrewdness."

Ning Wan understood right away, "It's no wonder that everyone in the capital was deceived by the Dongping Palace. No one can match this thought!"

Tie Shi also understood, "Concubine Dongping is like this. In fact, the emperor and queen feel that Dongping Palace never interacts with officials. Even you, you only met in the palace occasionally, and happened to be acquainted with the Luo family. The king of Dongping County is the same age, so he helped to make a match."

"There's more than that!" Ning Wan said again: "I'm an old friend of the Luo family, if I said in front of Brother Luo that the King of Dongping County is very good and is a good match for Yan'er, how can Brother Luo not believe it?"

"Besides, the king of Dongping County has a lot of benefits in marrying Yan'er! One thing is that the Luo family has just recovered, and my reputation is not obvious. I am only a small official from the fifth rank, so the emperor and queen of this family will not know it at all. However, Princess Dongping is actually optimistic that the Luo family will rise in the future. At that time, the king of Dongping County will have a good Yue family, and the future descendants will have an excellent relationship with Shilin after the blood relationship with the royal family fades. relation."

Ning Wan sighed again: "You guys praised me before, but now you know how amazing Princess Dongping is!" Then she sighed, "It's a pity that her mind can only be used for this!" If she can walk out of the house, If you display your talents, you should be able to accomplish many great things.

Luo Bing also said: "With such a mother, it wouldn't be too bad to come to Dongping County King. If I didn't want Yan'er to marry into the royal family, I would really be tempted." After all, he is a child of a Jiangnan family. In my heart, I would rather my sister marry back to a scholar's family in the south of the Yangtze River, even the Liaodong Army doesn't like it very much, let alone the royal family.

Ning Wan could understand, so she said with a smile: "Since brother Luo wants to find a scholar's home for Yan'er, why wait until after the Spring Festival? When we entered Beijing, we met some scholars from Liaodong who were rushing to take the exam. There are talented scholars from all over the place gathered in Lizao, and they can be seen in advance."

"It can also save nights and dreams," Luo Bing nodded and said, "That's right, it happens that students from Jiangnan often come to visit me recently."

Several people have made plans, so they put down their worries.No matter how smart Princess Dongping is, she can't grab a daughter-in-law if she wants to marry her son. Even if she doesn't care about the Luo family, she must take care of the emperor. With the embarrassing status of King Dongping, the Dongping Palace still has to hide its strength and bide its time until the next emperor. Ascend to the throne, until the blood of King Dongping is further away from the royal orthodoxy, and no longer attracts the attention of the world.Since Princess Dongping is shrewd, she will never become enemies with the Luo family if they are not in-laws.

Another point is to make everyone more relaxed, that is, if Princess Dongping doesn't care about King Jing, it means that King Jing really can't inherit the throne, just as Luo Bing expected, and it is excellent news for the Luo family. Even Tie Shi and Ning Wan will benefit accordingly.

In the following days, Tie Shi and Ning Wan became idlers.In fact, going to Beijing is the best time for ordinary officials to interact with high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China. They should send greetings widely and entertain guests every day, but they don't want to do this, and just wander around the capital every day.

Luo Bing has to go to the ministry to do business every day; Mrs. Wei is raising a baby and has family affairs; Luo Yan returns to the nunnery, and even if she doesn't have to go back, she can't play around with them, so only the two of them go out alone.Luo Bingyuan had sent a servant for them, but even though that servant was originally a soldier under Tie Shi's men and they were very familiar with each other, they still preferred to just walk around together, what they saw was second, the most important thing It is rare for them to be so leisurely and alone.

So they went out in the morning like Brother Luo every day, and only returned in the evening. They went out of the city twice and stayed outside.Mrs. Wei was afraid that her greetings were not good enough, so she once whispered to her husband: "Why don't I take my younger siblings to some old friends' homes in Beijing? Or ask some wives to go to the temple to offer incense?" Luckily, Brother Luo knew about them. He only smiled and told his wife, "Leave them alone. Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated. Most of the women go out to work, and they are not afraid of what people say to show their faces. Moreover, the barbarians have invaded in the past two years, and the Lu family has many things. Where are they?" How can I have such a leisurely time? I’m afraid I’ll be busy all day after I go back, so just do as you please.”

Tie Shi and Ning Wan have money in their hands now, not to mention that the gold in the treasure has not been moved, even the profit of coal and the money generated by several shops and workshops at home are inexhaustible. Business, don't you have fun?
This day falls on the ninth day, which is the opening day of Longfu Temple on East Street, because I have heard that it is the only temple in the capital where Pan Lama and Zen monks reside together, and it is also the imperial court's incense house, and the temple fair is special. lively.The two of them went out early in the morning without riding a horse or taking anyone with them. They walked over talking and laughing all the way, and saw crowds of people from a distance, stalls doing various businesses, and a stage set up to set up the temple. The door is completely blocked, only revealing the tall archway.

Ning Wan smiled and said: "After all, it is the capital city, there are only so many people, Beining Mansion can't do it, let alone Anpingwei."

"It is said that there are 80 million people in the capital, plus officials, businessmen, and military households, there are at least a million to 10 people. How can it be compared with other places?"

As we approached, the first thing we encountered was row upon row of food stalls, because we had found out in advance that Ning Wan and Tie Shi each only drank a bowl of porridge this morning, and their stomachs were empty when they came here, so they just started eating from scratch .

There are many things in the capital, even the types of snacks are particularly large, such as fried belly, sheep's head, rice cakes, pies, pea yellow, tofu brain, cheese... I don't know how many, some have opened small shops next to Longfu Temple, some Just set up a few small tables, the smallest one only has a pair of burdens, but all of them are full of color and fragrance, which are coveted.The two of them were dressed in cotton clothes, and even Iron Stone, who was always attached to his body, only put a short dagger in the boot shaft, which could not be seen from the outside at all, just like ordinary people, it happened that no one here recognized them, even in You don't have to worry about standing by the food stalls to eat.

Although she is not afraid of spending money, Ning Wan still knows how to live. She only buys one portion of each snack and shares it between two people. Saving money is secondary, but she doesn’t want to waste things for nothing—just look at this long story Snacks, they will never wait until they reach the gate of the temple!
Suddenly, Ning Wan pulled Tie Shi and smiled, "Look! The donkey is rolling! Our Liaodong snack."

A small white flag with red teeth hung on one end of the small stall, on which was written in black characters, "Liaodong Characteristics - Donkey Rolling", and the bean noodle rolls were neatly arranged, which made Ning Wan feel very friendly.It is said that there is no less food in Liaodong, and there is no need to taste it again, but she still stepped forward and said with a smile: "My fellow, have a piece!"

Sweet or not? Hometown water, kiss or not, the peddler selling donkeys turned his head after hearing the local accent, picked up a roll and wrapped it in oiled paper and handed it over, "You really are from the same hometown! No need to pay money, I treat you!"

Ning Wan accepted it with a smile, and took a bite. It was made from Liaodong’s big yellow rice and soybeans, and it was sticky and fragrant. Try it, how is it better than ours?"

Sure enough, Tie Shi tasted it, "It's really the same taste." He said and threw a handful of money into the peddler's half-open money box.

Hawkers are small businesses with small capital and low profits, so how can they not ask for money as soon as they meet fellow villagers.It's just that he saw that although this pair of Liaodong fellows were dressed in ordinary clothes, the woman was as beautiful as a flower.The man was tall and handsome, and his imposing manner was absolutely extraordinary. He knew that he must be a rich man, and he said so especially because his money would not be missing.Now that I have received a lot of rewards, I laughed early and said: "My yellow rice and soybeans are all shipped from Liaodong. Yesterday, I washed the yellow rice and ground it into powder, then fried it, then ground it into dough and steamed it. Let it cool down." Woke up early this morning, rolled it into large slices, sprinkled it with bean flour and rolled it up, and added homemade fried bean flour, how could it taste bad!"

The conversation between the three of them actually attracted several people, all wearing square scarves and Cheng Zi clothes, dressed as scholars, but they talked in different accents. They asked around the bean noodle roll, "Why is this thing called donkey rolling?"

The peddler smiled and pointed at the rolled bean noodle cakes, "Does this roll look like a donkey rolling on the sand? That's why it's called donkey rolling!"

"It really couldn't be more like it!" Everyone laughed, and they all took out their money, "Buy one and try it!"

Ning Wanfang was about to leave, but someone called her, "Madam Lu, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
