The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 59
Abandoning Xiucai who had done nothing wrong but was kicked, she entered the kitchen, and Su Xiazhi started making lunch in silence without saying a word.

Xiucai went back to the main room and took a book and pretended to peek into the kitchen all the time, thinking that such a lady was very scary, like the gloomy weather in summer, there will be heavy rain and thunder at any time.

It's just that he waited cautiously for a long time and didn't see any further actions from the little daughter-in-law. Instead, he waited for her relaxed voice: "Xiucai, it's time to eat. Let's eat in the kitchen to save trouble."

Putting down the book and entering the kitchen as fast as she could, Min Lansheng's eyes were fixed on the face of the young daughter-in-law: "Young lady, it's hard work."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Su Xiazhi gave him a blank look, then turned around and put the freshly cooked miscellaneous rice on the table: "Am I going to be angry about your little puppet love..."

puppy love?This word sounds new again.However, looking at the lady's face, she didn't look angry, and Min Lansheng's hanging heart also calmed down. Instead of taking the chopsticks she handed to him, she directly grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the wall for a good kiss. , He didn't let her go until both of them were out of breath and looked dazed: "You don't speak, because you are afraid of your husband..."

A muddled past caused Ms. Su to eat a tasteless dry vinegar.Standing by the stove, she figured it out while picking vegetables: "Who is still young, the most important thing is that he chose the most correct me in the end, and that's enough..."

Min Lansheng was startled by the sudden appearance of An Yi, and then kicked by his wife.The unlucky scholar hadn't figured out her little daughter-in-law's detached character after two months of marriage, so she was worried for a long time.

After lunch, the young couple who had nothing to do began to go about their own business.

Xiucai went back to the room to continue reading his sage book, and Su Xiazhi began to pour her pickled eggs.

I fished out more than 300 eggs that were first marinated from the tank, put them in spiced spiced water and boiled them for a few pots, and took up all the pots at home before soaking them in the water of boiled eggs.

Forget it, one pickled egg can earn about four Wen after the cost is taken into account, three hundred is one tael of silver, three pickled eggs a month and wipe off the change, at least three taels of silver can be obtained in hand!

With these three or five silver as a base, the life of the young couple will be much more affluent.

"Xiucai, I'll go to town tomorrow." Tomorrow, the car from Jufulou will come to the house to pull eggs, so she can take the car to the town.

"I'll go with you." Scholar's voice came from the room.

"No, I just want to buy some white flour to think about something. Now we don't care about selling the eggs, and it's easy to make. I want to try to tinker with something." Xiucai is going to take an exam in autumn, and it's no big deal. Miss Su was reluctant to use him.

"Then I will accompany you too..." Xiucai said stubbornly.

Early in the morning, Su Xiazhi had just packed up the dishes used for breakfast when there was a knock on the courtyard door.

After wiping her hands on the floral apron a few times, Miss Su untied the apron and put it on the window sill and walked out of the kitchen to open the door.

A strange young man stood on the steps of the door. Looking down the steps, shopkeeper Li from Jufulou stood in front of a spacious carriage: "Miss Su, it's the end of the month, let's fetch pickled eggs."

"Come in, please!" Both courtyard doors opened, and Su Xiazhi greeted Shopkeeper Li and his staff to enter the courtyard: "I didn't expect you to come here in person."

Shopkeeper Li's trip was not just wandering around for nothing. Even if a restaurant is on the right track, and the daily affairs are endless, how can he have time to go to such a small place as Shanxia Village?

He wanted to find out about Miss Su's situation by visiting the door in a cold-hearted way.I want to know what seasoning she has prepared at home and what method she used to marinate the eggs for 20 days to get the oil and the taste is good, neither salty nor bland.

Su Xiazhi had long guarded against his move, and put all the used shochu stalls in the cabinet in the east room.So watching shopkeeper Li enter the kitchen and instructing the waiter to carry the eggs out, he didn't say anything, so he let him see it openly.

After wandering around in the kitchen of others, and exchanging some pleasantries with Miss Su, shopkeeper Li found nothing except that the cleaning was neat and tidy.This made him feel a little regretful, and felt that his trip was wasted.

He bowed his head and went out of the kitchen. He wanted the waiter to count the eggs, but when he turned his face, he saw Min Lansheng standing in front of the main room with his hands behind his back.Shopkeeper Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked up to him and cupped his hands, "Could it be that this is Mr. Min's residence?"

Min Lansheng returned the gift with a light smile: "It's the humble house." The way he spoke, it was obvious that the two had known each other for a long time.

"Oh, that's true!" Shopkeeper Li slapped his hands, rolled his eyes, and then shouted at the boy who was squatting on the ground cooking eggs: "It's a lot of trouble! What are you counting? The lady of the scholar said as much as she wanted, and the number is constant." Can't go wrong!"

The guy who followed was very discerning. Hearing the shopkeeper's scolding, he quickly apologized to Ms. Su, grabbed the eggs directly into the bamboo basket they brought, and quickly moved all the pickled eggs. out.

"Mr. Min hasn't been to our Jufulou for a long time, but Mr. An often goes to our place." Shopkeeper Li still got close to Min Lansheng.

In his opinion, scholars are superior to others, and Min Xiucai is the best educated scholar in Ping County, so he is naturally a superior person.It's only a matter of time to become an official, so it's time to curry favor as soon as possible...

The Master An he was talking about was An Yi's father, An Huaiyuan, Min Lansheng's teacher.He has lost his official position and lives at home, and it is difficult for others to call him his old position. Most of them still call him "Master An" or "Master Juren" according to the address he used in his early years at home.

An Huaiyuan can be regarded as a great Confucian who is famous all over the world today, but he was on the wrong team when he chose to follow his master.But at that time it was not his choice.

He was the mentor of the eleventh prince of the late emperor. Overtly and secretly, the late emperor hinted several times that he intends to pass on the throne to this direct son born to him and the empress.Therefore, An Huaiyuan took extra care of this prince.

His discipline was even stricter than that of the first emperor.However, the eleventh prince was born at the wrong time, born in the emperor's family but without the emperor's life, and was killed in open and secret battles with Cen Xiangsi, who was still King Xiaoyao at the time, and the army retreated steadily...

In the end, Emperor Hui took the Zen position, and Chuanhuang was located in Cen Xiangsi.
