Ministers made me a male queen

Tao Wuzuo ran into an empty room in the county government office, and when the door was closed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Walking to the table, and carefully opening the wooden cover again, suddenly, a scent filled the room.

The room was a little dark, with only a faint light coming in, and a ray of light just hit the food in the wooden box. In the wooden box, which was bigger than his two palms spread out, five kinds of food were stacked neatly.

On the far left is steaming steaming rice, snow-white in color and crystal clear; followed by small fried pork, pressed tightly, followed by a vegetarian dish, followed by stewed fragrant Dongpo pork, and finally two braised eggs .

With all the aromas rushing towards his face, Tao Wuzuo gulped down his saliva.

It had been a long time in Changyang County, and it was the first time he had such delicious food again. The Tao family sent him here, and he shouldered a huge responsibility.

He was so busy that he didn't even want his life, and he even dealt with it casually when eating.

But looking at these now, he inexplicably felt that his eye sockets were a little hot, and there was a place in his heart that seemed to be stuffed with cotton. It was warm and numb, and he couldn't land on it with his feet.

In his mind, there were only Jiao Yun and Wanniang's beautiful side faces, and his fingers couldn't help rubbing the wooden box.

"Mr. Tao, do you still eat? If you don't eat, let us!" A sudden voice brought Tao Wu back to his senses, and he quickly looked over.

At some point, I found that a few yamen servants were leaning against a crack under the window sills and looking in sideways. From their perspective, they couldn’t see the food, but it was delicious, so delicious...it was obviously all meat. You can eat a meal every day, but how can it be so delicious?

That's all, holding these delicious food in his hand, but just being in a daze, reckless!

Tao Wuzuo twitched the corners of his mouth, carefully closed the lid, walked over, smiled at the faces exposed under the window lattice, and then, under their gaze, closed the window lattice with a bang.

Several yamen servants: "..." Do you want to be so mean and angry? !

It's fine if you don't let it eat, but you don't give it to see?

On the other side, Wanniang led Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang to the tailor shop.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw Wanniang and the three of them: "It's you, little lady, and this is taking the children to buy new clothes? Pick whatever you want, they are all regular customers, and I'll give you a cheaper price."

Naturally, Wanniang had never been to a tailor shop, and the regular customers the shopkeeper referred to referred to Jiao's stewed meat stall.

The stewed meat stall is on this street. The shopkeeper often goes there to eat, and his wife is also happy. He is in business, so he can see it more clearly. inestimable.

Wanniang waved her hands again and again: "Just take a look." She walked around, but she didn't see what she wanted, so she asked softly, "Shopkeeper, don't you have any Qingjin?"

"Huh?" The shopkeeper was taken aback, "Little lady, is this sending the child to the academy?"

Wanniang agreed.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper became even more enthusiastic, "Yes, there are, young lady, wait a moment." He quickly went to the inner room, and when he came out, he was holding several sets of green purses neatly folded in his hand. Not placed outside.

His tailor shop is not big, and there are generally two types of people who can be sent to the academy. One is quite wealthy in Changyang County, and those who generally don’t come to his house; If you can save major expenses, you can save as much as you can, and you may only wear that set for a few years.

The few sets that the shopkeeper took out were too big, "No way, the ones that are usually sent to the academy are older."

He didn't go on to say, generally speaking, the two children brought by this little lady are relatively young, and the one who comes to their small tailor shop is really the youngest.

Wanniang chose a set that was a little too big for Nie Baichang to try, and the big one wasn't too big, so the belt won't be obvious when the time comes.

Wanniang wanted to take Nie Baichang to a better tailor shop, but she was afraid that it would be more expensive and the clothes would not be worn by children.

At first, he just came to buy new clothes. Nie Baichang didn't want to buy them at first, but he heard Jiao Yun say that all the colleges have uniform clothes, and he can't be special, so he came here, but when he saw the Qingjin that the shopkeeper held out, he knew it was very expensive.

Jiao Yun simply took him inside to try on the clothes, "Here you go, try it first." After trying it on, buy it directly!

Wanniang waited for Nie Baichang to come in before asking about the price. The shopkeeper gave a figure. Wanniang didn't expect the ready-made clothes to be so expensive, so she gritted her teeth and ordered in a low voice.

Jiao Yun quickly came out with Nie Baichang who had changed his clothes, and Jiao Yun ran out next, beckoning: "Nie Xiaobai, come out quickly, let mother see, it's so beautiful!"

Nie Baichang lowered his eyes and walked out slowly.

As soon as he appeared, the sporadic people who were still shopping in the tailor shop stopped their movements. The child was already white and delicate, and because he could read and write, he developed an aura like a noble young man. Looking up, his eyes were full of timidity, but when he saw another child's admiration, his tense nerves relaxed.

Standing there, it makes people feel that this child is a scholar.

Wanniang was also stunned, and almost immediately made a decision: "That's it."

She thought about it, fearing that there would not be enough to change and wash, so she simply bought two sets.

A set of two taels of silver is more expensive, but it can be worn for two or three years, and she can study in an academy. She can't let Bo Geer be bullied because of the clothes.

Jiao Yun was overjoyed, and hurriedly pushed Nie Baichang back who was about to refuse.

When Nie Baichang arrived in the room, he quickly took off the quilt, "Brother Yun, it's too expensive." He's not stupid, the fabric is so good, absolutely...

"You're stupid, expensive is expensive, you forgot that I get [-] Wen for helping that uncle connect the Li family every day, besides, you will pay back when you are successful in the future. You dress so nicely, mother also has face. "Jiao Yun poured chicken soup for the soul, coaxing Nie Xiaobai into a daze.

When he came out again, his eyes were red and he was holding his little hands. He would definitely not disappoint Brother Yun and Aunt Wanniang.

Wanniang took another look, and signaled Jiao Yun with her eyes: What the hell are you, Brother Bai?

Jiao Yun grinned: "Help you coax people."

Wanniang: Really?It made people red-eyed again.

Jiao Yun spread his hands, there is no way, the child is not easy to coax, he has to take strong medicine.

Wanniang just handed over the new clothes she chose for him, "You should try it too."

Jiao Yun's clothes are much easier to buy, as long as they are new clothes, it doesn't have to be the green skirt that students wear.

Jiao Yun quickly changed it out, it was a darker blue color, and the color was deep and dirt-resistant, so as not to be too embarrassing with the yamen's errands.

Wanniang also bought two sets, and deliberately asked in front of Nie Baichang: "Shopkeeper, how much is the total?"

The shopkeeper said in a neutral voice, "A total of two hundred wen."

Wan Niang: "It's so cheap? When I come to eat in the future, it will be cheaper for the shopkeeper." She said, and handed over four taels of silver.

The shopkeeper took it with a smile and was about to see off the guests.

Jiao Yun knew that the real price hadn't been revealed. He and Nie Baichang were short and couldn't see the counter clearly, so they simply said, "Mother, since Uncle's sale is so good, why don't you buy one too? You haven't bought new clothes for a long time. .”

Wanniang was taken aback for a moment, and then her eye circles felt hot, she patted his head: "Mother has clothes, so you don't need to buy them."

Jiao Yun pulled Nie Baichang: "This is not possible, I have a relationship with Nie Xiaobai, how can mother not?"

Nie Baichang nodded quickly: "Aunt Wanniang, you buy it too."

Wanniang looked at the two children, and gritted her teeth: "Buy, buy them all." Probably because money is not tight, Wanniang thought that she would send Bo Geer to the head of the mountain tomorrow, and she couldn't go there in patched clothes.

Wanniang chose a set to try.

During the period, Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang were guarding the counter, and a group of people came in again, and the shopkeeper hurried forward to say hello.

There were three people who came, a lady in her thirties with a man and a woman who looked like her children.

The girl looks thirteen or fourteen years old, and the boy is younger, only seven or eight years old.

Jiao Yun was standing with his back to the counter. Originally, he just took a bored and curious look, but this time, he felt that this woman looked a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

At first, Jiao Yun thought it might be a regular customer who often came to his braised meat shop to buy meat, so he quickly turned his eyes away.

It's just that the woman who was planning to point to a Luo skirt to ask the shopkeeper accidentally saw Jiao Yun, she frowned, with a strange expression, and looked carefully at Jiao Yun several times.

Soon he felt that he must be thinking too much, and turned his gaze away again, "Shopkeeper, try that brightly colored skirt with one suitable for my true sister."

The shopkeeper responded repeatedly, and just about to get it, the curtain was lifted, and Wanniang had already tried on her own clothes inside and came out with the new clothes. She was about to speak, but she was taken aback when she saw the people outside. Somewhat subtle.

Jiao Yun has been paying attention to the situation here, and seeing Wanniang's reaction, the premonition in his heart has come true.

He immediately brought Nie Baichang to stand in front of Wanniang.

Seeing that Wanniang seemed to have seen a ghost, the lady stared wide-eyed: "Wanniang? It's really you, then this is really brother Yun? Tsk tsk, why are you here? Why, you are the only one with me How long has it been since I climbed up and down the house before I can afford to buy ready-made clothes?"

The way she looked Wanniang up and down with disgust made Jiao Yun's face turn dark.

Nie Baichang also clenched his fists: "You are not allowed to call me Aunt Wanniang."

In the past, Wanniang would show timidity when she saw this eldest sister-in-law who married to Changyang County a few years ago, but after this period of time, she has practiced a lot, took a deep breath, and ignored the surprise when she suddenly saw Qian Fengfang, Holding the two children in his arms, his expression was not gloomy: "There are two things you said wrong. First, it's not the reconciliation, but that I, Jiao Wanniang, divorced your second brother. I believe I dare to say that even when I go to the county government office; secondly, don’t say that I haven’t found a family, even if I did, I’m single now, why can’t I marry someone else?”

Wanniang blocked Qian Fengfang with a few words, she had an ugly face, and said mockingly: "Hmph, another marriage? Which old man did you find as a concubine? He even brought you a bottle of oil to buy money New clothes?"

Wanniang is really thin-skinned, she didn't expect the former elder sister to be so shameless when she spoke, she ground her teeth and was about to speak.

Jiao Yun, who had been silent all this time, imitated her and snorted: "Look at the sour words. Back then, you were sold to a half-old widower to fill in the house. Do you think other people are like you? Don't talk about us. I have always been self-supporting, and the money is still given by your Qian family."

Qian Fengfang was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered what the kid said about the money given by the Qian family. She glanced at the girl beside her, and was about to frown to stop it, when Jiao Yun made a sound.

"This is still the betrothal gift from your Qian family back when Husband was married. Speaking of which, I would like to thank your Qian family for selling their second son for 200 taels as a married man. Otherwise, my family would not return the betrothal gift, right?" Jiao Yun's words made the shopkeeper And the people who heard the movement couldn't help laughing.

"Isn't it? This lady looks like the Sun family who fills in the house. Isn't the Sun family a big family? Why did you let your younger brother marry?"

"Tsk, you don't know that, do you? She's just filling in the house. The money is all in Mrs. Sun's hands. She looks at the scenery on her face, but in fact..."

"Speaking of which, isn't her stepdaughter visiting her? At this time...she didn't do it on purpose, did she?"

He started to think about the bloody storm in the back house of the big family. The girl next to Qian Fengfang heard these words. She suddenly turned around, gave her a cold look, shook off her hand, and grabbed her half-sister. Brother went out.

Qian Fengfang's maintained expression cracked, "Sister!" and hurriedly chased after her.

Jiao Yun shrugged, he still had a lot of fun, why did he run away suddenly?This sister-in-law is just fighting five scumbags.
