General's Lady + Fanwai

It was Wang Zeng who delivered the tofu, and he handed over the money and letter to Su Wan.

After busy these days, the yard next door already has a routine. Wang Zeng filters the soy milk, Wang Da and Wang Er push the mill, Ah Wu lights the fire, Su Wan is only in charge of lighting the plaster, and the finished tofu will be placed in a bucket filled with soy milk.In such a cold weather, the tofu can be kept for several days after it is made.

Ah Chou lay beside the charcoal basin, Su Wan put her feet on it, threw the money aside, and opened the sealed letter.

Song Tusu held a volume of books in his hand, and looked serious, but Su Wan just went over to read it, and she seemed to hold it upside down.Ling'er was sitting on a small couch and was helping Su Wan sew a purse. Her hands were very dexterous, much better than Su Wan's.

"Five to five points, we have 210 taels. As expected of Zheng Yanfeng." Su Wan put down the letter, went to get the bag containing the money, looked around, and said with a smile, "Now I have money."

Except for the brief text, most of the letters are simple bookkeeping, so Su Wan found a separate account book and copied them down.

After finishing her work, she put the ledger under the pillow. Su Wan stretched her waist and felt uncomfortable, so she turned her head to look at it before realizing it.Ling'er lowered her head and smiled, but the movements of her hands remained the same. Song Tusu was still staring at the book, as if she didn't hear her at all.

200 taels may not be a big deal to Zheng Yanfeng, nor is it to Song Tusu, but this is just the beginning. At least in the future, the business will expand. Maybe you can get 1000 or [-] taels a day, at least Su Wan There are such ambitions and fantasies.

Unable to resist, she went over to lie on Song Tusu's back, and Su Wan pointed to the book in her hand and asked, "What are you reading? Did you listen to me?"

"I'm thinking about the people behind Mrs. Zhang." Song Tusu said casually. Seeing Su Wan's hand drooping, he reached out to touch it, and frowned, "Why don't you stay by the charcoal basin, your hands are so cold? Be careful all the time." It's so cold, it won't grow taller."

"Who did you hear that the hands are not tall?" Su Wan pouted dissatisfiedly, and did not go along with Song Tusu's words, but said, "I have money in my hand, how about hiring someone to make a kang?"

"How many people do you need? I'll ask them to come. You don't need to invite anyone." Song Tusu put down the book and didn't mention what he just said.

Woke up early in the morning, and after returning from breakfast at Song Qiu's, Su Wan began to plan on making a kang.The tiles are all ready-made, and the bricks and stones are also simple. They can be bought directly with silver, but it is too cold, and it is best to complete the mud kang in one day. It seems that three or four people are almost the same.

"Wang Zeng and the others aren't masons?" Su Wan asked.

"There's a mason in the private soldiers." Song Tusu thought for a while and said, "When will I need it? I'll call him over."

"Let him come over when everything is ready." Su Wan said.

Not only to build a kang, but naturally more materials need to be prepared, but now that money is limited, Su Wan plans to make one in Song Tusu's yard first, and the next door yard, and then go to Song Qiu's yard to make one, and the others will come later. Do it slowly when the money is gone.

Tiles, masonry, etc. are more expensive in the capital than in other places. Fortunately, the money comes quickly, so there is no need to feel too distressed.

To buy these things, Su Wan and Song Tusu asked Song Qiu for help together. When they came out of Song Qiu’s yard, Su Wan suddenly thought of those brothers Song Tusu had mentioned. After so many days, they didn’t see any of them, and they didn’t hear anything. arrive.

This house is very, very big, and Su Wan has never finished walking it. Even so, he saw more than a dozen courtyards, not to mention the front hall, middle hall, back hall, etc. It's a pity that it is so dilapidated now. There are many spider webs.

It happened that Ling'er stayed in the yard, and there was no one around, so Su Wan asked curiously.

"Casinos, brothels, and other places where prostitutes like to go, there are them." Song Tusu said with a blank expression, "I don't see them coming back all year long. If you want to get to know each other, I'll call them back later."

"Ah..." Su Wan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "I don't want it anymore."

I always heard Song Tusu say that those brothers were ignorant and incompetent, but Su Wan didn't expect that they would not come, not even the most dandy one could imagine.

Carefully looking at Song Tusu's face, Su Wan regretted asking such a question, but then dared not speak.

After entering the courtyard, Song Tusu saw someone standing at the door, who should be one of Song Tusu's personal soldiers. She hurriedly stepped into the house, and Song Tusu beside her stopped at the door, not knowing what to say.

Fiddling with the charcoal basin, Su Wan waited for a while, then looked back, Song Tusu and his guards beside the courtyard gate had disappeared, probably went out.

Holding Ah Chou in both hands, Su Wan got up and walked to the door.

"Miss is going out?" Ling'er stood up and went to get the cloak on the hanger.

"Look next door." Su Wan said warmly.

Feeling a little depressed in my heart, I simply came out to relax.In the next yard, a room has been vacated by itself, and the kitchen is still busy. Su Wan came in and saw Ah Wu lighting the fire, Wang Da and Wang Er pushing the mill, and Wang Zeng sitting aside looking bored.

"Ah, Miss Su." Seeing Su Wan coming in, Wang Zeng stood up quickly.

"Let me take a look, have you made so many tofu?" Su Wan walked to the base of the wall and looked at the wooden barrels lined up side by side, and thought for a while, "You can take out some to make tofu, spicy and spiced, seasoning I’ll prepare it and send it back later.”

"Okay." Wang Zeng agreed.
