Yangcheng

When he came out of the front hall, Tang Jianwei found that the servants of the Tongfu were all gathered in the small garden. Those who carried the water basins in the house took the water basins, and those who carried the water buckets looked like they were going to work, but in fact they were all dawdling in place. , looking in the direction of the front hall.

Seeing Tang Jianwei come out, he immediately turned away his probing eyes, like a puppet suddenly got a soul, quickly started to move, and scattered away.

Tang Jianwei: "..."

Tang Jianwei casually stopped a little maid who was passing by in front of her, took her arm, restrained her movements, and made her impossible to escape.

The little maidservant who was caught upright exclaimed, holding a freshly washed bowl and chopsticks in her hand and almost knocked over to the ground, looked up guiltily, and murmured softly:

"Miss Tang San."

She was ready to be scolded, but Tang Jianwei not only didn't scold her, but also took out a milky white pancake from the cart at the stall and handed it to her mouth.

"Try it."

This little maid is named Qiu Xin, she is 14 years old this year, she is growing up, even if she eats pickles every day, she has not lost her flesh, and her round face has already turned green from fright, I am afraid that what Tang Jianwei gave her was adulterated. Poison cake, this is killing your life.

"Tang Sanniang... I, can I not eat?"

Qiu Xin trembled, like a little fat badger in a wolf's den.

"It's very delicious, you'll know when you taste it."

Tang Jianwei's arms were vigorous, and he firmly fixed Qiu Xin by his side. The two looked like sisters with deep affection, but they were actually kidnapped.

Qiu Xin couldn't break free, she didn't know why Tang Jianwei wanted to feed her, but at the moment she could only follow the instructions of the big tail wolf and took a bite of the pancake.

After taking this bite, the frankincense quickly melted in the mouth, thick but not greasy and soft but not mellow. Qiu Xin, who is used to eating pickles and hard cakes, can't imagine that there are such delicious snacks in the world!

"Is it tasty?"

All the subtle expressions of Qiu Xin failed to escape Tang Jianwei's eyes.

Qiu Xin could only nod obediently.

"It's all for you." Tang Jianwei pushed the remaining half of the piece into Qiu Xin's mouth, and Qiu Xin's small mouth was full, and she chewed excitedly.

This small piece of milk cake was made by her in the past few days, and she took it with her as a snack for her stomach.

Selling at the stalls or preparing materials at home is exhausting work. In the past, servants did these things for them, but now she has to do them by herself.

When you are hungry after working, it is the most delicious to take out a piece of milk cake to satisfy your hunger.

Tang Jianwei forcefully stuffed a small milk cake into Qiu Xin's mouth, the implication was to warn Qiu Xin to eat more and talk less, especially the master's private affairs, and not to spy on things that have nothing to do with you.

If this was the Tang Mansion, Tang Jianwei would have brought these people to the backyard to give lectures and teach them the rules they should have.

Now she is just a lodger and an outsider, so naturally it is inconvenient to say too much.

It's just that Tang Jianwei couldn't bear his temper, so he still had to hint.

Seeing Qiu Xin stunned like a tether after eating the milk cake, Tang Jianwei knew that his goal had been achieved, and the little maid must have understood her secret words.

Let go of the restraining arm, and when Tang Jianwei was about to leave, Qiu Xin called her:

"Tang...Tang Sanniang. Did you make this pancake?"

"Exactly."

"Then..." Qiu Xin bit her lip, and the color of sunset appeared on her green face just now, "If I still want to eat this pancake in the future, can I ask you for it?"

Tang Jianwei: "??"

Seems like the focus is off a bit?

Finding Tang Jianwei's eyes were puzzled, Qiu Xin immediately added:

"I won't eat your pancakes for nothing! I can exchange them with you! I can wash and smoke for you, and I can also comb your hair and make up for you! As long as you like it, I will be respectful! I only hope I can... have another bite of this pancake."

Qiu Xin licked her lips: "Really, it's so delicious..."

Tang Jianwei: "..."

I never expected such a development.

It's just a small snack cooked at will, but it can still buy people's hearts?

Tang Jianwei couldn't help sighing that the Tong family, who served guests with eight dishes of pickled vegetables, probably hadn't tasted serious food from top to bottom...

"The foundation of one's life must be funded by food. Those who don't know what to eat are not enough to survive."

All poor people.

He suggested to Song Qiao that it would be better for Tong Shaoxuan to rest at home today, Song Qiao agreed, and sent someone to the academy to tell the husband to ask for a two-day leave, and then took Ji Xue to take care of Tong Shaoxuan.

Tang saw that the microcart was out of the stall, it was really late today.

When Tang Jianwei pushed the cart again and came to the entrance of the workshop, he saw a group of people standing in the place where she had set up a stall two days ago from a distance, looking anxious, as if they were waiting for something.

One of them is her first guest, a fruit farmer who bears the burden.

Tang Jianwei greeted her generously, and seeing Tang Jianwei finally arrived, everyone rushed up and urged her to fry fried dough sticks quickly.

"Miss Tang, where have you been, let us wait!"

"If you don't come, I will leave! I will be late for work!"

"Come here, here are two pennies. I made the soy milk myself!"

……

I didn't expect to come here for a while tonight, but it made the old customers feel uncomfortable because they had no money to spend.

A group of people scrambled to throw the copper coins on Tang Jianwei's cart, almost throwing them on the white dough.

Tang Jianwei quickly picked up the copper coins, she really couldn't see such sloppiness.

Putting the copper coins away, Tang Jianwei skillfully folded the dough pieces, stretched them long, and attached several fried dough sticks.

After the white noodles are put into the oil pan, they float in a piece of boiling and gradually change color.

She is a little too busy frying fried dough sticks by herself, and the guest officer is willing to make soy milk by himself, which saves her trouble.

The eyes of the guests waiting for the fried dough sticks around the cart almost fell into the frying pan, and they swallowed while listening to the sound of the frying pan.

Looking at this scene, if the oil pan is not hot, I am afraid that there will be no shortage of people who directly fish for fried dough sticks.

Tang Jianwei flipped the fritters in the oil pan with special long chopsticks to fry them evenly.

"Boss Tang, how long will it take? Is this one ready?" The fruit farmer pointed to the first fried dough stick that was put down from the pot, ready to move.

Tang Jian smiled and said: "Stand farther away, otherwise the oil that jumps out will burn you, and you will have to soak it out. Just count it by dozens."

The fruit grower silently recited the number ten, and when he counted to "ten", Tang Jianwei scooped up the fritters and put them on the net bag.

As soon as it was put away, the fruit farmer reached out to grab it, but was stopped by Tang Jianwei.

"hot!"

The fruit farmer announced loudly: "I'm not afraid of being scalded, this oily fruit just needs to be scalded to taste! It's so crispy and delicious!"

The fruit farmer couldn't wait to grab the deep-fried dough sticks, and bit down on them, which made him pant and wheeze, his lips couldn't close, and there was space in his mouth, willingly being burned.

When the other guests heard the familiar crisp sound, they immediately remembered the taste of fried dough sticks, and couldn't hold back any of them, urging Tang Jianwei to start cooking quickly.

"Okay, all the guests, wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

Tang Jianwei was frying deep-fried dough sticks, and the guests were waiting.

During the waiting process, everyone was idle, so they began to talk about some anecdotes on the streets and alleys.

Tang Jianwei's breakfast was spread out at the gate of Jingyangfang, and the topic easily started from Jingyangfang.

In Jingyang Lane, the most topical people are Tong Changting's family.

"...It is said that Tong Changting's youngest daughter was married by the emperor? Is it the daughter of the Boling family?"

"Hey! This is really a fateful encounter! You don't dare to write like that in the scriptures! Do you know who the daughter of Boling who the emperor refers to as marriage is?"

"who is it?"

"It was the Tang family who repented of the marriage back then! It was the third lady of the Tang family who was going to marry the youngest son of the Tong family!"

When everyone heard the words, they were frightened and confused: "Is there such a coincidence in the world?"

"At the beginning, the Tang family wanted to marry Tong Siniang to Boling in order to celebrate the third daughter who was seriously ill. Who would have thought that Tang Sanniang would be cured before the wedding team arrived in Su County, and she would be alive and kicking. The Tang family didn't want to marry her. The small households in our small county got married, and with a flick of a pen, they wrote a letter, and the engagement was about to be annulled."

"The lord of Boring is really tyrannical."

"You're right. The nobles of Boling look down on the local people. There are rumors that the outside of Boling Mansion is a barbaric land, saying that we barbarians don't ride horses, but pigs! "

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Every word and every sentence fell into the ears of Tang Jianwei, the client.

Congratulations for the seriously ill third daughter?

break off an engagement?

Me and Tong Shaoxuan?

I had an engagement with her?Then my mother repented?

Tang Jianwei naturally remembered that when he was nine years old, he had suffered from a serious illness that almost threatened his life.

I heard from family members that in order to save her, Ye Niang searched all over the famous doctors in Boling, and drank countless medicines, but she didn't get better.

In the end, he got an expert to help him, and he saved his life.

After Tang Jianwei recovers from her illness, she vaguely hears the family servants and schoolmates talking about getting married and having a good time, but she had stayed in the house for too long at that time, and it was time to go out to have fun, so she didn't care about these things.

Looking back now, it seems that such a thing happened...

This eloquent middle-aged man was originally a storyteller in the restaurant, and after winning everyone's support, he spread his fan in front of him, and began to talk unreservedly, pouring out the old stories of the Tang family and the Tong family.

Rubbish nonsense about how Tong Shaoxuan would seek death and life after his marriage was divorced, that the head of the Tong family was seriously ill, and that the mistress almost went to Beijing with a knife...

The storyteller eats people's ears, and he can teach people to be in the scene at his fingertips. Occasionally, he exaggerates, which makes the listener even more worried.

The more Tang Jianwei heard it, the more frightened he became.

But he was right about something.

"If you want to say that Tong Siniang, she was really cheated by the Tang family. Everyone knows that marriage is not a child's play. People who have been divorced, regardless of gender, want to find another good marriage. It is wishful thinking. Even if you are like Tong Siniang Such a beautiful woman with a peerless talent has reached the age of Ji, have you seen someone to propose marriage to her?"

Everyone shook their heads sadly.

The storyteller lamented: "Time is fate. It's a pity that Tong Siniang, a peerless beauty, has fallen to such a state! I don't know if it's a joke from God or the fate of Sansei III, huh? Then Tang Sanniang was accused of marrying her!" Gave it to Tong Siniang! Tell me, is this strange or not?!"

The crowd joined in.

The more the storyteller talked, the more excited he was, he just reminded the judges that those who have money should make money, and those who have no money should make money.

The long chopsticks in Tang Jianwei's hands have not been moved, someone reminded:

"Boss Tang, the fritters are fried..."

Calling "Boss Tang", the neighbors who listened eagerly to the gossip suddenly realized something.

Don... Boss?

Someone was curious and asked, "Boss Tang, where are you from and why did you come to Su County to sell fried dough sticks?"

Tang Jianwei met everyone's gaze and said, "I'm originally from Boling. I liked cooking since I was a child. Now that I'm married in Su County, I want to earn a little money with my skills."

"Married to Su County? Whose family's lord and lady will be so lucky to marry our Fried Tiao Xishi?!"

"Huh? People from Boling, married here, could it be that you are..."

The matter of the emperor's fingering marriage was actually quite a commotion in Su County, but it was one thing for everyone to know that there was a noble daughter in Boling who was going to marry, but it was another thing to be able to quickly associate the fritter Xi Shi in front of him with this matter. thing.

Tang Jian smiled awkwardly, and the fan in Mr. Storyteller's hand fell to the ground with a "click".

"It's really you!"

"You are that Tang Sanniang? No wonder, no wonder..."

……

I came late today, I didn't expect the sales to be faster than the previous two days.

Food and gossip can make Tang Jianwei's business more prosperous.

About half an hour later, the dough and soy milk had bottomed out, and the number of people on the morning shift gradually decreased, so Tang Jianwei pushed the cart back to Tang Mansion.

Preparing materials at night and opening the stall in the morning, Tang Jianwei lacked sleep for three days, and often fell asleep after closing the stall.

A large pot of noodles was placed, and after the juice was drained, pork and stewed sauce were added.

This stew was fried by her yesterday, and she made a big pot of it.In addition to diced pork and sauce, Jianzhou old wine is essential, and Sichuan pepper is still used to enhance the taste.

Shujiao is about to bottom out, Tang Jianwei has to take the time to go to the market in Su County, wondering if he can find Shujiao.

After the staple food was prepared, he insisted on frying a handful of celery and steaming a sea bass. After finishing the sumptuous lunch, he called Zitan to come over and bring it to the yard.

Meng Qiuqiu from Su County is breezy, even outside.

Tang Jianwei then planned to move the table for eating to the courtyard.

In this way, not only the dining space is open, but also the vegetable smell and oily smell can be prevented from soaking into the bedding, killing two birds with one stone.

Perhaps it was because he didn't have to travel around, and his life was quite smooth these days. After Tang Guanqiu took a few medicines, his headache got better, so he helped Zitan move straw mats and desks together.

Zitan received Tang Jianwei's cooked meal, and the three of them sat together. Zitan mixed the rosy stewed noodles and took a bite. There is a scent of fried chopped green onion hidden in it, and the red sandalwood has no time to praise it after one bite, and immediately eats a second bite.

If it were in the past, Tang Jianwei would definitely teach her a lesson with Zitan's food appearance.

But today Tang Jianwei was worried about something, Zitan swallowed most of the bowl of noodles, and Tang Jianwei didn't even mix it well.

After eating up a piece of noodles in his mouth, Tang Guanqiu asked:

"Ah Ying, what's the matter with you? But what's on your mind?"

Even if the headache is gone, my sister should recognize her as Shen Yue.

Tang Jianwei asked them: "Do you know that I once had an engagement with Tong Shaoxuan? When I was nine years old."

Zitan: "When you were nine years old, I hadn't entered the mansion..."

Tang Guanqiu said, "I remember."

Tang Jianwei and Zitan looked at her at the same time.

Tang Guanqiu's eyes were heavy, and he seemed to be lost in memory: "My sister is nine years old and is seriously ill. Ye Niang is coming, saying that she is going to marry a woman from Su County..."

Tang Guanqiu's words were stuttering, and Zitan didn't quite understand them, but Tang Jianwei understood them.

Basically the same as what the neighbors said.

My sister is suffering from dementia, but Tang Jianwei found out earlier that my sister is not completely insane, it is more like a memory flashback, back to a few years ago.

So my sister remembers this!

My sister spoke, and it was basically consistent with what the storyteller said. It seems that this matter cannot be faked.

There is such a thing...

Tang Jianwei didn't think that Ye Niang was capable of such inconspicuous things as regretting a marriage, but at that time she was ill, and Ye Niang loved her so much, so maybe she was really impulsive in order to save her.

Unexpectedly, this sudden impulsiveness ruined Tong Shaoxuan's good marriage.

If it wasn't for the regret of the marriage at the beginning, maybe Tong Shaoxuan would have made a promise to a good family, or someone who was in love with her, how happy and smooth would she be in the rest of her life?

Tang Jian felt slightly sorry.

No wonder Song Qiao was on the verge of slipping his tongue when he first came to Tong's Mansion, and once scolded the Tang family in front of her.

It turned out that the Tang family that Song Qiao scolded was Tang Jianwei's family...

Now that the truth is out, Tang Jianwei doesn't think Song Qiao is wrong at all.

If this matter were replaced by any one person, I am afraid that they would not be able to let go of it.

And the Tong family actually let her, who was not married, live in the mansion directly with her family.

Even if the family is poor, they still entertain with hospitality.

It's impossible for Tong Shaoxuan not to know about this.

No wonder Tong Shaoxuan was annoyed and afraid of her from the very beginning, it was the result of repenting the marriage.

Tang Jianwei asked himself, if she were Tong Shaoxuan, she would probably hit that repentant person once.

How could he risk his life to save him?

Too stupid, the Tong family is too stupid...

Zitan finished eating the whole bowl of stewed noodles, but Tang Jianwei saw that the noodles in the bowl were almost lumpy, and she still didn't put down the chopsticks.

If you don't eat it, you can't eat it...

Zitan was heartbroken, and Tang Jianwei's eyes straightened.

"Sanniang..." Zitan couldn't help reminding her.

Before Zitan finished speaking, Tang Jianwei handed her his braised noodles:

"you eat."

"Hey? Why don't you eat Sanniang?"

"I'm full." Tang Jianwei stood up, "I'll take a walk in the yard to digest my food."

Zitan looked at her blankly: "I haven't even eaten a mouthful of food, what kind of food are you eating?"

Tong Shaoxuan won the amnesty that he doesn't have to go to the academy, and has been sleeping at home with his head covered for the past few days, as if he wanted to make up for all the energy he had exhausted a while ago.

She didn't want to go out, she just wanted to stay in the bedroom, read a book and study the flying wheel.

Song Qiao was also used to her, and would not go out if she didn't want to go out. Tong Shaoxuan liked to stay alone since he was a child, and grind things that others couldn't understand at all.

Tong Shaoxuan has the root cause of the disease and does not know how long she can live. Song Qiao only hopes that she will be safe and happy, and do some things she likes in her lifetime, without putting any pressure on her.

Ji Xue would bring meals into the house every day, and it was still the familiar dishes of Tong's family. Pickles, seasonal vegetables, and fish marinated in sauce were placed in several small dishes, surrounded by a bowl of clear porridge.

Her father, Tong Changting, had always wanted to become an official, and he also claimed to be a scholar. Unfortunately, he was born without the brains of a scholar. He also went to Boling to take part in the imperial examination, and finally lost his name in Sunshan.

Before Tong Shaoxuan was born, several children in Tong's family were all similar to him, and no results were seen even in the past.

Until Tong Shaoxuan's birth.

Tong Changting was overjoyed by Tong Shaoxuan's intelligence and ability to never forget since he was a child, and regained his confidence in studying.

In his opinion, the most important thing to read to break through thousands of volumes is to have a pure heart and few desires.

If there are too many other desires, I am afraid that it will affect the practice of being dedicated to learning and seeking knowledge.

Therefore, the three meals a day of the Tong family are mainly light food, and only during the festivals will they cook gold and jade, and the whole case is fat fish and meat.

Tong Shaoxuan didn't have a good appetite at first, so she didn't have too many requirements for food, as long as she was full when she wanted to eat.

But sitting in front of the desk today, the bland and oilless dishes in front of her made her mouth feel astringent and she lost her appetite.

Ji Xue saw that she was absent-minded: "What's wrong, Si Niang? Doesn't suit your appetite?"

Tong Shaoxuan nodded.

"Then what do you want to eat? The chef still has some soup cakes, may I serve them for you?"

"I don't want to eat soup cakes, they are all gnocchi soaked in water."

"That……"

Tong Shaoxuan held the chopsticks, his big eyes sparkled: "I want to eat roast chicken. The roast chicken from Fool Liu's house!"

It's rare for her to have this appetite, and she was injured before, so Ji Xue will satisfy her no matter what.

It was still early at this time, and Liu Fool's shop might not have opened yet. If Ji Xue went to line up at this time, he might be able to catch up with the first wave.

"Si Niang wait for me, I will go back as soon as I go."

"I'll go with you!"

Tong Shaoxuan didn't know what was wrong with him, since the last time Tang Jianwei had eaten the fool Liu's roast chicken that Tang Jianwei gave her, she couldn't forget it.

Thinking about it now is still very hungry!

She was obviously not such a greedy person before...

When the two arrived at the gate of Bei'anfang, there was already a line of people at the door of Liu Fool's roast chicken shop. The two of them quickly occupied the back of the line and counted about ten people in front of them. Liu Fool was ready to open the door. It is not estimated that the time for two incense sticks will be there, so it is guaranteed to be their turn.

After successfully buying the roast chicken, Tong Shaoxuan couldn't wait to eat it on the way home.

Ji Xue laughed at her: "Si Niang since when did she become a greedy cat? Look at you, she ate it all over her face."

Tong Shaoxuan stopped eating and felt something was wrong.

Ji Xue: "What's wrong?"

"It doesn't taste right."

"What's wrong? Could it be that the chicken is not fresh?"

"No..." Tong Shaoxuan was thoughtful, "It's not delicious. It's not as delicious as last time."

"Not fragrant? Don't they all belong to Liu fool's family?"

It's all roast chicken from Fool Liu's house, but it doesn't have that unique smoky taste.

The chicken skin also seemed to be a little softer, without the thin texture of onion wings.

what happened?

Is it possible that fool Liu is really stupid, he doesn't even taste like roast chicken?

After running so far on purpose, but returning disappointed, Tong Shaoxuan was particularly disappointed.

Will I never have that bite again?

Tong Shaoxuan and Ji Xue complained and went back to the bedroom, and Tang Jianwei, who was separated from them by a wall, heard all their conversations.

Want to eat roast chicken again?

After finally earning some money, Tang Jianwei always wanted to give her some compensation when he thought of Tong Shaoxuan being harmed so badly because of his regretful marriage.

It's just a roast chicken, it's just a hundred coins, it's just a smoky face, give it to her.

Tang Jianwei immediately went out to buy three yellow chickens.

When the curfew was approaching, Ge Xunqing came to her and helped her bring today's homework.

Tong Shaoxuan thanked Ge Xunqing, and Ge Xunqing looked around and asked her:

"Hey, where's your wife? Quickly let me see what the world-renowned beauty looks like."

Tong Shaoxuan said mercilessly: "No, no."

"Why not? Didn't she already live in your child's mansion? Don't be so stingy. Could it be that you want the golden house to hide your beauty, and even I won't let you see it? Hey, thanks to me sending you homework all the way, you actually So unfeeling to me."

"Yes, the ones from all over the world are actually sending homework. Is it unethical? Can't you let me stay at home and stay away from homework?"

"I can see that you are stingy."

"You can't get along with stingy, but you can't deal with her."

Ge Xunqing asked suspiciously: "How could it be, you two are a godsend, why don't you deal with it?"

This classmate is really difficult to deal with, Tong Shaoxuan just wants to quickly dispel her desire to see Tang Sanniang all day long.

"You said it all. It was given by the emperor. I didn't find it myself. Naturally, I won't deal with it. She won't come if you call her. Go home quickly, there is a curfew!"

The two were talking, when suddenly a sweet call came from the garden:

"lady."

Tong Shaoxuan shuddered suddenly.

Who would call her that, only Tang Jianwei.

At the same time as Tang Jianwei's voice came, there was also a scent that touched Tong Shaoxuan's soul.

Tong Shaoxuan turned his head in surprise, and saw Tang Jianwei walking from the depths of the garden, his slender figure was even more beautiful and moving reflected by the gauze lantern that had just been lit in the garden.

She was holding a wooden plate in her hand, and there was a roast chicken nestled on the plate. It was the same style of roast chicken as Stupid Liu!

Tong Shaoxuan'er was hooked by the fragrance, and Ge Xunqing was disturbed by the sudden appearance of the beauty.

"Changsi..." Ge Xunqing sighed, "Not only did she not call her, but she came here on her own initiative, and she also came with your favorite roast chicken. It seems that you two have a very good relationship, just because of the eyes." I'm just a lonely woman."

Tong Shaoxuan: "..."

It's really hard to explain.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tang Jian Wei Hu Mei (cross out) the third style of a good wife
