Chapter 47 Start Selling Tofu Flowers

The spring river is warming up, and the weeping willows are twirling.

As the cold winter receded, the porters and pawns coming and going near the Yinding Bridge changed their heavy jackets and wore green clothes and trousers, talking and laughing in the wide streets and narrow alleys.

In order to keep out the cold wind, the curtains hung on the cruise ship painting boats were taken off one after another, and replaced with thin gauze curtains.

At the corner not far from Yinding Bridge, it turned out to be a small wharf for water transport left over from the previous dynasty. The Yudai River in the capital became the Jinshui River in the inner city of the capital.

Most of the small piers on the Jinshui River have been demolished, because a lot of peach blossoms are planted on the small piers near Yinding Bridge. He was deeply loved by officials, gentry and scholars, so he stayed.

The weather is getting warmer, and before the time to appreciate the peach blossoms, there are more pedestrians coming and going nearby than usual.

It's not because it's the time to eat Lengtao, but because there is a stall selling tofu flower next to it.

After Chen Yuanyuan redeemed herself, she didn't want to entertain people with sex any more. When she brought the little donkey over to set up a stall, she replaced her curvaceous Ru skirt with Wengong clothes.

Chen Yuanyuan wore a large cloth undress, a piece of blue summer cloth, covering her face and fair neck, so as to avoid showing her face in public.

The guests around only felt that Chen Yuanyuan's demeanor was good, and they couldn't see her true face. They were not attracted by her beautiful features.

They were all attracted by the freshly eaten bean curd flower. The small scorpions prepared in advance were not enough, and more than a dozen guests stood near the stall with blue and white glazed porcelain bowls and started eating.

Sun Gong and Yuan Gong also tasted the tofu flower, which was smooth and delicious, which can be said to be a rare delicacy.

Compared with the tofu flower that is the only one in the entire capital, Sun Gong is more interested in the relationship between Li Mian and this little lady.

When Chen Yuanyuan brought the little donkey over, he took the initiative to greet the grandson and Yuan Gong, and they knew that the sister Yuanyuan that the little maid pheasant was talking about was actually Chen Yuanyuan, the No. 1 actress in the capital.

Chen Yuanyuan has always been known for her cold temper in the past, and she has never favored any official or gentry. It has always been the benevolent relationship between the official and gentry who pays her money and sings her songs.

After redeeming her body, Chen Yuanyuan suddenly disappeared. Many officials and gentry in the capital inquired about her, but they were still unable to find Chen Yuanyuan's house.

I can only harbor regrets, regretting that I will never hear Chen Yuanyuan's pipa music again.

Scholars in the capital have lost their taste for flirting, and their romance has lost their elegance.

Who would have thought that Chen Yuanyuan, as a frequent visitor in the vassal's mansion, is now selling tofu flowers like a virtuous lady to subsidize the family.

Sun Gong had already eaten the third bowl of tofu flower, and Sun Chuanting next to him had his eyelids twitching, worried that Grandpa Zu would be overstretched, so he stopped the disciple who was going to bring the fourth bowl of tofu flower.

Sun Gong also knew that he couldn't eat any more, so he let go of the idea of ​​continuing to eat a bowl of tofu flower, took out nine copper coins from his sleeve, and handed them to Sun Chuanting to put them in the money box of the tofu flower stand.

Sun Gong glanced at the busy Chen Yuanyuan, his face full of confusion: "Li Mian mentioned white tofu and tofu flower twice, and these two fresh foods are only sold at Chen Yuanyuan's stall. Chen Yuanyuan's relationship is not shallow. This is strange. Many officials and gentry in the capital have tried their best to pursue Chen Yuanyuan. Among them, there are even a few sons of vassal princes. They have never had much friendship with Chen Yuanyuan, and often they will only be alienated and rejected. Thousands of miles away, how can there be a lot of friendship with Li Mian."

A son-in-law from a poor family, and a No. 1 actress in the capital, the inconceivable identities brought about by the two parties are even more bizarre than the biographies written in miscellaneous novels.

Yuan Gong just ate a bowl of tofu flower and put it down. He tasted it lightly, no matter how delicious it was, he would not eat more, and he always insisted on the Confucian self-denial.

Yuan Gong was also puzzled by the life experience of the two people. They were two unrelated people, but they had a deep relationship, thinking about what kind of extraordinary ability Li Mian had.

Not far away, on the second floor of a courtyard, Sun Yifa was watching the situation of the tofu flower stand, and beside him stood the green-handed shopkeeper Zhao who was helping him.

Sun Yifa looked at the figure in the man's coat by the Jinshui River, and fell into deep thought. Ever since he was lucky enough to meet Chen Yuanyuan, he was immediately astonished.

From then on, it was difficult for the officials and ladies in the capital to catch his eyes, and there was only one figure in his heart.

Sitting upright behind a bead curtain, she still embraces Chen Yuanyuan, whose face is half covered by the pipa.

Holding the Jinling folding fan, Sun Yifa kept beating his palms, and suddenly said: "Last time, because of Li Mian's interference, it didn't work out. Wait until there are fewer people around the tofu flower stand, and then you can bring the green hands to the place." Let’s make a fuss. Qingshou collects floating income from peddlers, which is in accordance with the rules, and no one dares to say anything wrong.”

Shopkeeper Zhao had a bitter face, showing a look of embarrassment, but he was retreating in his heart, and didn't want to continue to waste time with this official and gentleman.

He always draws cakes to satisfy his hunger, but I haven't seen him take out any benefits.

So what about the eldest son of the Langzhong family of the Ministry of Rites, he still has the military commander of Wucheng standing behind him, so he won't be too jealous of Sun Yifa.

The real reason why shopkeeper Zhao didn't dare to act rashly was the young man standing behind Chen Yuanyuan.

Shopkeeper Zhao smiled wryly and said: "It's not that the villain is unwilling to help the young master with his work, it's just that Sun Chuanting is near the young lady of the Chen family, lending the courage to the villain, and dare not ask for filial money in front of him."

If you want to stand firmly in the officialdom and sit for a long time, most of the officials protect each other and exploit the common people together.

Including officials and gentry, people are treated like crops in the field, only to be harvested one by one.

In the whole capital, only Sun Chuanting is an exception, he is jealous of evil, and he can't see the officials and gentry bullying the common people.

He may have a good reputation among the common people, but it is completely different among the officials and gentry. To say that he is a second minister among the officials and gentry is to be taken lightly.

As one of the sons of high officials and gentry, Sun Chuanting's paternal grandfather is Sun Gong, and his teacher is Yuan Gong.

No matter how dissatisfied Sun Yifa and other sons of officials and gentry were with Sun Chuanting, they had nothing to do with him. Who made Sun Gong and Yuan Gong stand above him.

Furthermore, he couldn't figure out what was going on in Sun Chuanting's mind. Squeezing the common people was the rule of the officialdom for thousands of years. As a beneficiary, he just wanted to dig his own foundation.

Sun Yifa can only temporarily give up the idea of ​​making things difficult for Chen Yuanyuan, as long as she sells tofu flowers near Yinding Bridge for a day, she can't make things difficult for a day.

Sun Yifa thought about it, and there was only one way, which was to force Chen Yuanyuan not to sell the tofu flower.
