my wife is queen

Chapter 44 Future Plans

Chen Yuanyuan gave her a strange look, and saw that she was wearing silk, so she should not be short of money.

Why did she ask about growing vegetables and raising livestock? Now that she asked, Chen Yuanyuan told her everything.

Yun Niang nodded frequently, worried that she had forgotten some details, she took out the account book and pen and ink from the small box of Duanmu Liangjin, and wrote them down in detail.

Her behavior made Chen Yuanyuan feel even more strange, so she didn't think much about it, but just regarded her as the lady in charge of Li Mian's house.

Li Mian's appetite is not too big, even when faced with the delicious food in the mansion, he usually just eats a bowl of rice.

Today, after eating the meal made by Chen Yuanyuan, I suddenly had a big appetite, and I ate two big bowls in a row.

It's not that her culinary skills are more exquisite than those of the cook who has a salary in the house, and for some reason, there is a smell of smoke in Chen Yuanyuan's meals.

Li Mian thought about it, probably because of the difference between the restaurant meal and the lady's meal.

When Chen Yuanyuan saw that he liked to eat the meals he cooked, a smile appeared on his cheeks, and he was indescribably happy.

For some reason, seeing that Li Mian loves to eat the meals she cooks, a feeling of good life arises in my heart.

When the lunch meal was over, Chen Yuanyuan busily began to wash the dishes and chopsticks. The unfinished meal was placed next to the stove and covered with other blue and white glazes.

I have no intention of throwing it away, and I am going to eat it at night.

Li Mian did not return to sit in the wing room, but still sat on the eight-legged round drum stool under the eaves, watching Chen Yuanyuan's busy figure.

The scene in front of me is even more pleasing to the eye than the Shili Fireworks Resort by the Jinshui River, and it makes people feel refreshed.

Li Mian couldn't help saying a word in his heart, the ordinary life of each other.

After Chen Yuanyuan cleaned up the dishes, she wiped her hands with a silk cloth and walked out of the kitchen.

Her Qiushui eyes looked at Li Mian under the eaves. Seeing him staring at the kitchen with a smile on his face, a trace of nervousness suddenly appeared in her heart. , I will give it to the young master to eat at the servant's house."

Noodles are just a common food eaten by the common people in the market, and they are far worse than the noodles in the mansion that use various spices and delicacies from mountains and seas.

Li Mian was already full, and when he heard the sentence, let him eat, he almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

Chen Yuanyuan started from shopping for vegetables before noon, cooking meals in the kitchen, busy cleaning up the dishes.

Li Mian waved his hand, and couldn't bear to let her continue to work hard: "Little lady has been working for a long time and hasn't rested yet. She doesn't need to make a bowl of ginger noodles, and her stomach is already full."

Chen Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but still said blushingly: "There is not even a table for the Eight Immortals at home, and it is my family's rudeness to wrong you to stand and eat."

"It's okay." Li Mian stood up from the eight-legged round drum stool and began to walk around the yard: "Eating meals standing up is better for your health, but what is your plan for the future, little lady?"

When mentioning the future plans, Chen Yuanyuan's face was full of sadness, and he was speechless.

She picked up the water ladle, walked to the courtyard wall, and watered the vegetables in the vegetable bed.

At the same time, thinking about his future plans, he might not be able to go to Qipan Street to sell white tofu.

Chen Yuanyuan is a smart person. Hearing that the shopkeeper Qingshou gave her surname, she already had a guess in her heart that she must have been targeted by others.

As for who it was, she couldn't think of it.

In the past, he had a great reputation in the capital. While being sought after by officials and gentry, he also attracted the hatred of officials' wives and young ladies.

Among the nobles by the Jinshui River, there are also people who hate her. As long as she is around, there will never be a day when the nobles come out.

Now that he has redeemed himself, without the protection of his past identity, he is easily targeted by others.

Not to mention the officials' wives and young ladies, even some well-known noblemen by the Jinshui River can take advantage of her relationship with benefactors to target Chen Yuanyuan, who has always been disliked in the past.

In addition, some officials and gentry knew where she lived after she disappeared, so they couldn't help but have crooked thoughts.

Use coercive means, wait until she is completely desperate, and then come out to help.

If you are more ruthless, you can directly force Chen Yuanyuan to marry an official and gentry son.

After Chen Yuanyuan finished watering the vegetables in the vegetable bed, she still didn't think of a way to continue to make a living. She sighed and said, "My family has finally found a way to make a living. Seeing that I have earned the city tax money in arrears, I encountered difficulties at this time. Could it be possible? There is no place for the slave family in the capital, and only by leaving the capital can I live the ordinary life I have always wanted."

Li Mian shook his head, disapproving of Chen Yuanyuan's statement: "The situation in the capital is not bad. After all, there is still the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate watching over him. No matter how corrupt officials want to steal money from the common people, they will always restrain themselves. It’s different in different places. Take the county magistrate as an example. In the county, most of them are local emperors, and no one is watching. It can be said that it is unscrupulous to search for ordinary people, and there will be no taboos.”

Chen Yuanyuan stroked her blue hair, and agreed with Li Mian's statement. She came to the capital from Suzhou Mansion, and knew the virtues of local officials.

In today's world, ordinary people have only to be squeezed, especially the faction of Yan Party, Donglin Party, and Qingliu are constantly fighting in the imperial court, and the life of ordinary people is even more miserable.

Chen Yuanyuan heard about the court situation from the mouths of dignitaries in the past, and had no opinion at first, but after redeeming her body, she personally experienced the influence of the party struggle in the temple on the common people in the market.

Seeing that she was silent and speechless, Li Mian continued, "Do you know Sun Gong and Yuan Gong."

Chen Yuanyuan's sad face showed a rare lightness: "Sun Gong and Yuan Gong are well-known among the common people for their integrity. Everyone knows that Sun Gong and Yuan Gong are rare and good officials, but unfortunately, they have long been Resigned from office."

Li Mian heard her tone as if she knew Sun Gong and Yuan Gong. Thinking that Chen Yuanyuan is the most pitiful person in the capital, it is not surprising that she knows Sun Gong and Yuan Gong.

It's easy to get to know each other, Li Mian continued: "Sun Gong and Yuan Gong often go to the Lengtao stall near Yinding Bridge to eat Lengtao. In the future, it is better to put the stall near Yinding Bridge instead of selling white tofu. Selling tofu flowers. As long as Sun Gong and Yuan Gong like to eat the tofu flowers you made, just for this food, if anyone dares to make things difficult for you, Sun Chuanting will immediately ask Sun Chuanting to slap that person in the mouth."

Li Mian mentioned Sun Chuanting, although he was very dissatisfied with him always thinking of making himself a master of money and food, he still couldn't help laughing.

After staying in the capital for a long time, Sun Chuanting is the only one who dares to be the first among all the people he has met.

No matter how many officials are offended, they still do things for the country without fear of power.

Teach a few officials and gentlemen who make things difficult for the common people a lesson, and they will also be obliged to speak for the common people.

Chen Yuanyuan was confused: "What is tofu flower."
