my wife is queen

Chapter 50 Tofu Feast

If it were an ordinary scholar from a poor family who received the invitation, he would have been overjoyed to agree. After all, the person who invited him was an official and gentry son with a hairpin for generations, which was a kind of recognition.

Under the surprised eyes of many officials and businessmen, Li Mian did not respond to Sun Yifa, and walked past him.

Sun Yifa, who had a kind smile on his face, was left in place.

Li Mian had seen Sun Yifa's hypocrisy for a long time. When the pheasant slave came back from the Lantai Poetry Association, he chattered about the situation at that time. Sun Yifa took the lead in criticizing him for his lack of talent and learning, and he was not worthy of the title of Duke Xie Yuan.

Overtly and secretly, he was talking about one thing, that a scholar from a poor family is not worthy of the noble Princess Changping.

Sun Yifa's sentence that there are no noble sons from a poor family aroused the enthusiasm of the poor family scholars, but it fell into the ears of the officials and gentlemen, but it was full of praise.

Sun Yifa's face was swept away, and this person was still Li Mian, who he hated deeply, and he gritted his teeth instantly.

He still had a calm look on his face, he laughed and revealed the matter.

Sun Yifa's generosity aroused the praise of officials and gentry sons, secretly thinking that only scholars who were born as officials and gentry would have such generosity.

The officials and gentry looked at Li Mian's leaving back and shook their heads one after another, in line with their impression of poor scholars with small bellies.

The official gentleman quickly looked at Sun Chuanting, and the two came together, obviously having some friendship.

Facing the current situation, Sun Chuanting, as a member of the officials and gentry, has seen Li Mian's small belly, so he probably won't make friends with him again.

He would only agree to Sun Yifa's invitation and stand with the official and gentleman.

Sun Yifa also looked at Sun Chuanting with anticipation, and at the same time he was sure that Sun Chuanting would accept the invitation.

Li Mian, who came from a poor family, was not on the same side as them after all. Sun Chuanting, who was born as an official and noble family, would only stand with him who was also an official and gentleman.

What's more, even if he didn't know his background, Sun Yifa has a lot of tolerance, and it is worth Sun Chuanting to make an appropriate decision.

In the expectation of all the officials and gentlemen, Sun Yifa was full of confidence.

Sun Chuanting turned around and left without even looking at Sun Yifa, leaving him with the back of his head, and chased in the direction of Li Mian.

"This……"

The official and gentry couldn't understand, and really didn't understand what was going on in Sun Chuanting's mind, and he actually lost face for a mere scholar from a poor family.

Sun Yifa gritted his teeth even louder. In order to maintain his dignity, he could only reveal the matter with a laugh again.

The Lu Garden is surrounded by lakes, which symbolizes that Yuan Gong ascended to the sea of ​​Ryukyu. In the middle of the Lu Garden, there is a Pavilion of Eight Immortals, which looks like the mast of a warship, standing in the Lu Garden.

Near the Eight Immortals Pavilion, there are many mahogany round tables inlaid with marble, surrounded by mahogany incense tables.

Xuande stoves are placed on the mahogany incense table, the smoke curls up, burning Yingge green agarwood.

Sun Yifa originally wanted to put the main table of the tofu banquet in the Eight Immortals Pavilion, but he had already discussed it with Lu Yuan's steward in advance, and prepared all the utensils.

Just because of Sun Chuanting's words, Sun Yifa lost face again and could only move the main table out of the Eight Immortals Pavilion.

No way, although Yuan Gong has opened the Lu Garden, anyone can come in and watch it.

But Lu Yuan is Yuan Gong's private property after all, others can't yell and drink in Lu Yuan, and dare not shout and shout at Yuan Gong's steward.

Sun Chuanting was different, he was Yuan Gong's disciple, and his status was closer than ordinary sons, equivalent to the eldest son.

The steward Lu Yuan, who was respected by others, was nothing more than a domestic servant by Sun Chuanting's side.

The son of the family, Sun Chuanting, had an order, and the steward followed everything, and quickly arranged for someone to move the main table prepared by Sun Yifa.

Afterwards, the Eight Immortals Pavilion was cleaned, and a new tea, Xiaoxianchun, was served, and some tea and food were brought, placed on a bean green glazed algae plate, and placed together in the Eight Immortals Pavilion.

Sun Chuanting and Li Mian sat on the embroidered pier of the Eight Immortals Pavilion, leisurely, watching the tofu feast not far away.

Sun Chuanting did all this on purpose, and asked with a smile: "This time I helped you sweep Sun Yifa's face in Lu Yuan, should I pay you back?"

Li Mian picked up the pine flower glaze teacup and took a sip: "Your Sun Chuanting is a well-known gentleman in the capital, and a gentleman never asks for anything in return, so saying this will inevitably affect your reputation.

reputation?

Sun Chuanting laughed loudly, and said solemnly: "Sun has no reputation in the capital, and he doesn't need the so-called reputation. He only wants to do something practical for the country. I don't want your money either, just go and give it to Sun." Someone who has been a master of money and food for a few days will also offer a screen silver."

Li Mian was helpless, and he was still determined to be a villain, so he only wanted to drag him to Daxing County to be a coolie.

If it can be effective if it goes there, it can be considered.

only……

There are too many interests of officials and gentry involved in abolishing the water and reforming the sea. The implementation of the New Deal cannot be said to have little hope, and it is impossible.

Seeing that he was silent, Sun Chuanting roughly guessed what Li Mian was thinking, that he didn't want to go to Daxing County to live a busy and dark life.

Sun Chuanting glanced at the tofu banquet that was about to start, and had an idea in his mind: "According to Sun Yifa, white tofu is his family's secret recipe, and there should be an official with enough weight to come over later, as long as white tofu is promoted as a The Sun family’s secret recipe, steal your white tofu secret recipe and make it into the Sun family’s property, from now on, others will not be able to brew white tofu.”

After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, Sun Yifa and the officials and gentry all stood up to greet him, and just as he said, they invited an official with sufficient weight.

Sun Chuanting gasped in surprise: "Censor Wan'an? He is a member of the strict party. Sun Yifa's father is a member of the Donglin party. The two sides fought bloody battles in court. How could Wan'an come to Sun Yifa's tofu banquet?"

Li Mian said casually: "The relationship in the court is complicated. Sun Yifa can invite Yushi Wan'an, not just to see which crony they belong to. In addition, there are fellowship, same year, classmate relationship, etc. Being an official in the court is not black and white. That is to say, in addition to crony relationships, there are other kinds of relationships involved, just take classmates as an example, do you not agree with a teacher because one has joined the strict party and the other has joined the Donglin party."

Sun Chuanting suddenly turned his head to look at Li Mian, his eyes were burning, and his desire to hire him as Master Qian Liang was so urgent that it was written on his face.

Sun Chuanting said sincerely: "With your unique views on officialdom, if you don't treat Sun as a master of money and food, you will fail your talents."

Li Mian just said something subconsciously, but he didn't expect to attract Sun Chuanting's hunger and thirst.

Ugh.

Talking too much again.
