my wife is queen

Chapter 49
Wang Po left Chen Yuanyuan's house, did not return to her own house, and turned to Dongjiang Mixiang.

Dongjiang Mixiang has five government offices and six government offices, including the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and Huitongguan. As a commoner, it is impossible for her to know the nobles and gentry who live in Dongjiang Mixiang.

Wang Po knocked on the side door of one of the three-entry houses. There were gilt tin nails nailed on the wall door, which was quite gorgeous.

The concierge opened the side door, and saw Wang Po standing at the door, and saw that she was wearing a blue homemade cloth with patches on the inconspicuous places.

The concierge frowned, looking down on Wang Po who was always gossiping, because of his young master's orders, he let her in and waited at the door.

The concierge asked a few words, and was going to send her away with a few copper coins, worried that such gossip women would pollute the Feng Shui of the house.

However, when the concierge learned from Wang Po that he had discovered the secret recipe of white tofu, he didn't dare to make decisions on his own, and hurried to Dongshaojian.

I found Sun Yifa, who was studying in Dongshao Room, and explained the situation. Wang Po found Chen Yuanyuan's secret recipe for brewing white tofu.

Sun Yifa immediately put down the lone book in his hand, stood up from the Huanghuali official hat chair, and hurried to the front yard.

After Sun Yifa asked about the situation, his first reaction was disbelief, but soon he fell into deep thought: "Lime is a material used to paint walls. I have never heard that it can be eaten. You may have misunderstood it."

Wang Po was waiting to receive the reward money, and said with an 'ouch': "I sat for a long time beside the tofu shed of the young lady of the Chen family, and watched her scoop out a bowl of lime and put it in the tofu. It looks exactly the same as Lime. When the old man left, he pretended to have accidentally fallen and put his hands on the cloth bag."

After Wang Po said this, she stretched out her hands, which were stained with a lot of lime.

Sun Yifa was very disgusted with the pair of old hands in front of him. For the sake of Chen Yuanyuan, who was thinking about it day and night, he stretched out his hand and scraped some off for a closer look: "It's really lime. Eating this thing won't kill people?"

Wang Po was afraid that the reward money she got was gone, so she hurriedly said: "Where will people die? The young lady of the Chen family has been selling white tofu for many days, and now she is selling tofu flower. I haven't seen anyone who ate it and hurt their health."

Sun Yifa nodded, remembering that what Wang Po said was true, he felt relieved: "Go to the cashier and withdraw a penny for her, remember not to tell it, otherwise your grandson will never want to study in this life."

When Wang Po heard the word grandson, she quickly swore that she would never let it out, but no one cared about her behavior.

Sun Yifa said that he would give one cent of silver as a reward, turned and left the door, and was going to find the cook at home to make tofu.

It's just an ordinary person, so what can I say, I won't take it seriously.

When Pao Ding heard about the secret recipe of white tofu, he looked suspicious, suspecting that his son wanted to kill others.

However, when the tofu is mixed with lime, white tofu is really made.

Pao Ding smiled and said a few words of flattery: "Young master's intelligence and intelligence should be Xie Yuangong in the Jinke Township Examination. That lucky Li Mian is not worthy of carrying shoes for you."

Sun Yifa got angry when he heard Xie Yuangong and Li Mian, said to prepare a tofu feast, turned and left the house.

I went to Lu Garden, and held a poetry fair in Lu Garden in the name of appreciating flowers.

Lu Garden, also known as Yuanjia Mountain, was built by Yuan Gong's clansmen to demonstrate Yuan Gong's achievements.

Not long after Emperor Jiazhen succeeded to the throne, Japanese pirates invaded Ryukyu, and Yuan Gong personally led troops to conquer the Japanese pirates.

Killed all the Japanese pirates, boarded the Ryukyu, and led the army back in triumph.

Yuan Gong's people built Luyuan, surrounded by lakes, and the whole Luyuan looked like a warship, with the elegant name of Xiao Penglai.

Li Mian had long heard that Lu Garden was a unique garden, so he found Sun Chuanting and asked him to recommend one or two to visit Lu Garden.

Sun Chuanting seldom made friends with the sons of officials and gentry in the capital, and it was never heard that he had friendship with anyone, let alone travel together.

Received Li Mian's invitation, but readily agreed, and went to Lu Garden together.

Sun Chuanting stood at the gate of Lu Yuan, pointed at Lu Yuan who looked like a warship from a distance, and said: "If you want to come, you can come anytime without my recommendation. Yuan Gong's Lu Yuan is not like other people's gardens. From high-ranking officials and dignitaries down to traffickers and pawns, they can come and watch at any time."

Li Mian heard that someone offered the hard-built garden to other people to enjoy at will, and he didn't understand anything. It was reasonable for this person to be Yuan Gong.

The two walked to the gate of Lu Yuan, and before they could step in, they heard the voices of talking and laughing from behind.

Many officials and gentlemen came together and walked into the Lu Garden together, as if they were going to a grand event.

Li Mian looked at the officials and gentry coming and going, and asked: "Are there many officials and gentry coming to Lu Garden every day?"

Sun Chuanting stared at the bustling crowd in the Lu Garden, and shook his head: "It's the first time I've seen such a lively scene. It must be someone who used Yuan Gong's place to hold a poetry gathering."

"Haha."

At this moment, a generous laugh suddenly came from around the two of them.

Sun Yifa walked up to the two of them and saw Li Mian, who disgusted him, and he didn't show any disgust, but still had a smile on his face: "I said that when I went out today, there were magpies calling on the bamboo in front of the door. I met two distinguished guests, so why not go in together. I found a recipe for brewing white tofu in an ancient book handed down by my family, and held a tofu banquet in Lu Garden today, and invited two distinguished guests to enjoy it together."

Sun Yifa's reputation in the capital is not bad, he is a well-rounded scholar, and he has a wide range of friends among officials and gentry.

It is reasonable to invite Sun Chuanting to enjoy the tofu banquet together, because his family background is unusual.

Li Mian, who was born as a scholar from a poor family, was invited, and the officials and gentry around him couldn't help but sigh with emotion, praising Sun Yifa for his generous mind.

All the officials and gentry in the capital knew one thing. If Emperor Jiazhen hadn't obstructed the Jinke Township Examination, Sun Yifa and Qian Dongjian's names would most likely have been awarded Xie Yuangong's title.

Sun Yifa is more likely, after all, he is a native of the capital, Qian Dongjian is different, his ancestral home is in Beizhili, and his family moved to Jiangnan long ago.

Qian Dongjian didn't take part in the provincial examination in Jiangnan, but instead went to Beizhili to take part in the provincial examination, which aroused the criticism of the scholars in Beizhili, thinking that he was suspected of impersonating his nationality.

In the face of Li Mian, who took away the title of Lord Yuan, Sun Yifa could invite him to the tofu feast with a friendly face. After this news got out, he would definitely gain a reputation for being generous.
