my wife is queen

Chapter 46
While Chen Yuanyuan was happy, she also looked sad. She didn't know how to thank her for the recipe of white tofu last time.

This time he took out the secret recipe of tofu flower again, but he still didn't know how to thank Li Mian.

Chen Yuanyuan looked at the wing room of the exquisite small building, and through the opened mahogany door, one could see the pipa hanging on the white wall.

The only thought that could repay Li Mian was to let him choose a piece of pipa at random and play it to her one by one.

If the dignitaries in the capital knew what Chen Yuanyuan was thinking, they would suspect that Chen Yuanyuan had been replaced by a civet cat for the prince while feeling sour in their stomachs.

As the most sympathetic person in the capital, ordinary officials and businessmen can only hear about Chen Yuanyuan's pipa music in rumors. If they want to hear it with their own ears, it is a luxury in this life.

The dignitaries in the capital often need to spend a lot of money to hear Chen Yuanyuan play a piece of pipa. They invite her to participate in the poetry collection and are fortunate to hear Chen Yuanyuan play a piece of pipa.

Even if the invitation was made as a vassal king, it still depends on Chen Yuanyuan's mood, and he dare not force him in the slightest. Sometimes even if he spends thousands of taels of silver, he may not be able to invite No. 1 in the capital to take pity on Chen Yuanyuan.

Now, Chen Yuanyuan asked Li Mian to choose pipa pieces at will, and played them all one by one.

The dignitaries in the capital dare not even dream about it, as long as they can hear Chen Yuanyuan play a piece of pipa, they are willing to spend no matter how much money they spend.

"Boom!"

Li Mian stretched out his palm and knocked on Yunniang's hanging cloud bun, and said with a smile: "Little lady is different from you. She gets into the eyes of money and spends all day thinking about how much money she can earn. For a little lady, earning The amount of money you receive is not important, only a stable job is what you want.”

Chen Yuanyuan smiled lightly. She didn't have much contact with Li Mian, but she was guessed right.

It seemed that he was born to be an official, but it was a pity that he was a scholar from a poor family, so he was inevitably squeezed out by the sons of officials and gentry in the officialdom.

Chen Yuanyuan made up her mind that if Li Mian encountered trouble in the officialdom, as long as she opened her mouth, she would go against her will and seek out the former dignitary.

Now that she has redeemed herself, it is impossible to get in touch with those dignitaries, and she can't do it with her virtuous and virtuous disposition.

However, over the years, Chen Yuanyuan has gotten to know some imperial wives and some official ladies, and at the price of teaching a piece of pipa, she should be able to ask them for help.

As long as it's not too much trouble, most of the cases can be solved by ordering Mrs. Gao to go out in person, and if it doesn't work, you can also blow the pillow.

Li Mian glanced at the sky, it was getting late, and he was about to leave with Pheasant and Yun Niang.

Before leaving, Li Mian walked into the wing room of the exquisite building, and wrote some key points of the salty and sweet tofu flower on the mulberry paper with a brush.

Leaving behind a prescription, the three master and servant left the delicate building.

Chen Yuanyuan was washing dishes in the kitchen, and she thought Li Mian was drinking tea in the side room, but when she heard the sound of the wooden door being pushed open, she realized it.

It was getting late, and Li Mian left with two interesting maidservants.

Chen Yuanyuan hastily put down the blue and white glazed porcelain bowl in her hand, wiped it on the silk cloth, and hurried to the wing.

When she walked into the wing room, there was no one there, only a piece of mulberry paper was left on the half-moon table.

Chen Yuanyuan walked over, subconsciously thinking that it was a poem left by a gifted scholar, thinking that Mr. Li is rare to be arty.

When she picked up the mulberry paper on the half-moon table, she smiled for no reason, it seems that she misunderstood Mr. Li.

There is not a word on the mulberry paper that is related to poetry, and it is full of vernacular words about salty and sweet tofu flowers.

Chen Yuanyuan stepped back and pushed open the wicker pane of the wing room, and saw the three master and servant leaving together, and looked at Li Mian's leaving back, showing a faint smile.

Li Mian left the exquisite building, instead of rushing directly towards the mansion, he stopped when he passed the Yinding Bridge.

Not surprisingly, I ran into Sun Gong and Yuan Gong at the Lengtao stall again.

The two of them didn't eat Leng Tao all the time, but the scenery near Yinding Bridge was unique, and they often came here to sit and chat.

Borrowing a peddler's little man, and using a charcoal stove to make tea, the two sat by the Jinshui River and chatted about the situation in the court.

Sun Gong and Yuan Gong saw Li Mian approaching, they didn't pay attention, and continued to chat about the two people's recent interest in abolishing the water and transforming the sea.

Every time he passed Yinding Bridge, unless he wanted to eat a bowl of Lengtao, he hurried past to say hello.

Not staying here, there is no intention of trying to curry favor with Sun Gong and Yuan Gong.

It is precisely because of this that Sun Gong and Yuan Gong were happy to get along with him, and even called out "boy" and "little friend".

When Li Mian passed by the Yinding Bridge this time, he left without saying hello, and sat on a small tree beside him.

Grandpa Sun was surprised: "Your boy has changed his sex today. Instead of leaving directly from Yinding Bridge, he accompanied us two old men to enjoy the scenery here. It's a bit abnormal."

Yuan Gong twirled his beard and glanced at Li Mian, he was also surprised by his behavior sitting by the Jinshui River.

Not long after Li Mian sat down, he turned his head and asked, "Pheasant slave, how does the tofu flower taste like just now?"

The pheasant slave stood next to the uncle, took out a candied fruit, and ate it sweetly.

When she heard her aunt asked about the taste of tofu flowers, the candied fruit in her mouth lost its taste in an instant, and she said happily: "My aunt, aunt, let's go to Sister Yuanyuan's house tomorrow morning, and the maidservant can still eat it for three hours." A bowl of tofu flower.”

Sun Gong and Yuan Gong heard two new words from Li Mian's mouth one after another, and each time they were quite meaningful and memorable.

This time, the word "tofu flower" appeared again, which immediately caught the attention of Sun Gong and Yuan Gong. They speculated that it might be a flower carved from tofu.

Sun Gong and Yuan Gong were almost drooling when they heard the pheasant slave talking, and they couldn't help being very interested in the tofu flower she said.

After several months of contact, the pheasant slave can be said to be a little old gourmet, having tasted all kinds of food in the capital.

As a female official next to the eldest princess, she not only tasted all the folk food, but also tasted all the meals in the palace.

It can make the pheasant slave so impatient that he doesn't even eat the meals in the mansion, and only wants to go to what she said is sister Yuanyuan's house to eat tofu flower, or three bowls.

It seems that the taste of tofu flower is unusual.

The conversation between Li Mian and the pheasant slave caught the attention of Grandpa Sun. He glanced at the pheasant slave's belly and said with a smile, "What kind of food is it that can make you, a little girl, eat three bowls in a row? Don't give your body away. It's broken."

Li Mian didn't respond directly, but stopped the pheasant slave who was jumping up and down and wanted to chatter, and said, "Mr. Sun will find out tomorrow."

Li Mian left an inexplicable sentence, lifted the hem of the round collar robe, and left Yinding Bridge with Jinu and Yunniang.
