my wife is queen

Chapter 20 Money and Grain Account Book
At this age, Yuan Gong will not easily get angry because of the junior, but he just regrets Li Mian's talents and learning.

His talent lies in poetry and songs, that's all. Yuan Gong doesn't value this way very much. From seeing through the ills brought by the eunuchs of water transport and the remarks of abolishing water and reforming the sea, it can be seen that he is a capable official who can govern one side.

It may be a beautiful thing to serve as an official and benefit the people of one side.

Li Mian repeatedly shied away, unwilling to come out to be an official, and lived a life of retirement ahead of time.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a difficult problem for a son-in-law not to be an official, but in the eyes of Sun Gong and Yuan Gong, it is a trivial matter, and there is room for various changes.

Yuan Gong was in a bad mood because he failed to recommend practical talents for the imperial court, and he lost the mood to drink tea: "As a little friend, I have already stood in Vanity Fair. There are some things that you can't avoid if you want to, forget it." .When you meet him, you will understand the meaning of the old man's words."

Li Mian still has a calm and leisurely look: "Let's talk about it, I just want to live a leisurely life without worrying about food and clothing. I also met a friend recently. It's good to chat with her when I have nothing to do. After all, Getting along with good-looking people is also a kind of enjoyment.”

Regardless of whether it is speculative or not, Sun Gong and Yuan Gong are about to leave today, and they still have things to deal with in their respective corridors and courtyards.

Li Mian looked at the two people who stood up, and suddenly thought that he was only busy chatting and forgot to talk about business.

If white tofu wants to open up the market, it needs to be effective. Sun Gong and Yuan Gong both agreed that white tofu will become a trend of eating white tofu in a short time.

Li Mian asked, "Grandfather Yuan, have you ever eaten white jade tofu?"

White jade tofu?

Just hearing the name is not bad, it should be a rare delicacy.

What's more, Li Mian said it himself, let's not talk about other aspects for the time being, just talking about the food, he almost tasted all kinds of restaurants in the capital.

Sun Gong and Yuan Gong were also quite delicious. They stopped and turned to look at the white-soled black-faced official boots.

But he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Mian seemed to have finished speaking with emotion, and his question was not heard, he shook his head and sighed, and took the pheasant slave away from the Lengtao stall at Yinding Bridge.

Sun Gong and Yuan Gong walked a few steps, and they were not far apart, so how could they not hear them.

The two are not blind masters.

I could see his hastily leaving footsteps, obviously worried about getting a response.

Asked something, but didn't want to get a response, obviously trying to whet the appetite.

Sun Gong found Li Mian more and more interesting: "Don't tell me, he really whetted your appetite and aroused the glutton in your stomach. Next time you see him, you must ask him clearly what is white jade tofu. "

Yuan Gong stroked his beard and smiled: "It's rare for him to pay attention to one thing. It seems that he wants to try white jade tofu."

The sun is setting to the west, and the province is fixed in the morning and evening. According to the rules, Li Mian will go to the palace with Princess Changping to settle the province. However, the queen mother has been abolished and has gone to live in the imperial mausoleum in Jinling. The relationship between Emperor Jiazhen and Princess Changping It's getting colder, so there's no need to settle down.

Saved a hassle.

Going to the palace and being stared at by pairs of eyes, there is no comfort in wandering around with a pheasant slave.

On the way back, Li Mian happened to bump into a green woolen sedan chair blocking his way, and he pulled the pheasant slave out of the way.

At the entrance of the quite wide alley, there are two curtained sedan chairs.

One is a sedan chair with green wool curtains, and the other is a sedan chair with cloisonné curtains.

Normally, the green cloth curtained sedans avoid the road and let the cloisonné curtained sedans on the opposite side pass first.

In the end, the opposite happened quietly, the cloisonné curtained sedan chair stopped aside, giving way to the lower status green woolen curtained sedan chair.

"Stop the car."

When the green woolen official sedan passed by Li Mian, it stopped suddenly, opened the curtain, and came out an eunuch wearing a black gauze gilded cap with curved feet, and a flower collar with narrow sleeves.

No wonder the officials in the cloisonné-covered sedan took the initiative to avoid them. At best, they were modest, but at worst, they could not be provoked.

Under the amazed gaze of the officials in the cloisonné curtained sedan chair, the eunuch saluted Li Mian, who was not wearing any official uniform, and said respectfully, "Servant, I have seen the son-in-law."

When the official heard the word son-in-law, he was taken aback and confused again.

There was only one son-in-law named Li Mian who came from a humble background, how could the snobby eunuch treat him so respectfully.

Being polite is hard to come by.

The scene in front of him was as respectful as seeing Princess Changping.

Li Mian nodded: "Eunuch Ma has to go back first, and the pheasant slave and I will return to the mansion later, it should be a matter of front and back."

Ma Yun is quite self-cultivated. It is said that he was a scholar before entering the palace. He respectfully said: "Without the good words of the concubine, it is impossible for a servant to serve as the tax supervisor and eunuch of Chongwenmen. In front of the concubine, there is no place for a servant to sit in a sedan chair."

The officials were lost in thought. Could it be that the news that came out of Princess Changping's mouth was true, criticizing Liu Jin's introductory duet before the emperor, which was polished by Li Mian.

The respect of Ma Yun, the companion of Princess Changping, cannot be faked, it seems somewhat real.

The official waved his hand and signaled the bearers to leave, ready to go back and discuss the matter with his colleagues.

Li Mian saw that he wanted to follow him, so he asked him to walk all the way to the mansion, followed by a green-clothed sedan chair.

Ma Yun walked a few steps, and said with a wry smile: "The princess has long said that she will hand over the money and food accounts of the mansion to the son-in-law, but she has not seen the son-in-law to investigate the accounts. Qiao has already approached the slaves several times, and deliberately talked about the money and food accounts, the slaves are really wronged."

The pheasant slave originally followed behind angrily, and didn't want to pay attention to Ma Yun who always brought her candied fruit.

She also thought it was Ma Yun who deliberately made things difficult, but she didn't expect that it was the son-in-law who was unwilling to take over.

The pheasant slave thought that Ma Yun, the big companion in the mansion, was kind to her in the past, and chirped to help her with good words: "Ma Yun is a very nice person, he has been diligent and diligent since he joined the princess, and he often brought candied fruit from other places to the servant, ah. Wrong, the servants helped him speak, not because of the candied fruit."

The sun is very warm, and the sun is warm on the body.

Li Mian turned his head and glanced at Ma Yun who was full of embarrassment, swallowed back the words to continue handing over to him, and sighed: "Okay, turn around and hand over the money and grain accounts to Chinu, there is no problem in handling those accounts with her intelligence."

The pheasant slave smiled and rolled her eyes, the uncle said she was smart.

Ma Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and finally handed over the money and food account book. Seeing the foolish smile of the pheasant slave, he couldn't help shaking his head.

No wonder Hongqiao entered the palace a little later than her, but became the eldest lady in charge.

After Li Mian finished speaking, he was worried that the pheasant slave would react, so he got into the green baize sedan chair shortly, and ordered: "Go back to the house."

Why did my uncle run away?

The pheasant slave stared blankly at the green baize sedan chair that was leaving in a hurry, and suddenly realized that my uncle wanted to hand over all the money and food account books to her.

"Uncle!"

The pheasant slave was carrying a goose-yellow skirt, and angrily chased after it.
