Chapter 303: The Li Family's Purpose

It was also the magistrate, Duan showed a hint of a smile, gave Quan's mother a satisfied look, and motioned for her to continue.

Quan's mother continued: "The old slave inquired again, Taiping County belongs to Fengzhou, and the current governor of Fengzhou is called Fan Yuan, this Fan Yuan and his uncle are the same Jinshi, the old slave remembers that in the early years, Fan Yuan often came to our house to drink and write poems with his uncle, by the way, Fan Yuan's family affairs seem to be drawn by our old lady."

The children of the Yancheng family who are not widely friends, Duan Zilang has made many good sons from childhood to adulthood, such as carp crossing the river, those who only stay in the city for a while, and slowly become estranged when they go to other places, especially after becoming officials, most of the people they make friends with are purposeful, and those who can help each other will come and go, and those who can't will be estranged, but in general, they will have a little affection.

A magistrate, it's too easy for a sesame petty official to get hold of, it's really iron-faced, selfless and honest like a mirror, there must be many enemies, a little hint, someone will come out to clean up, if it's a corrupt official, it's full of handles, the only thing to consider is who is the backer behind this magistrate.

It's easy to get a magistrate, but it's worth the loss to get into trouble with an opponent for this matter.

Duan's secret plan in his heart, he had to notify his mother's family, thoroughly investigate this cousin-in-law of the Guan family, if it was really just a small fish and shrimp, contact Fan Yuan.

……

Since the last time she changed her attention, Su Yiqing learned about the situation of the Li family in Dengzhou from the side and the Li Gongzi who proposed her marriage to learn how to behave.

Listening to the information collected by Green Vine, she couldn't help but have some understanding of Mrs. Meng's desire to marry this family affair, as far as the family style is concerned, this Dengzhou Li family is really good, and has a strict family style, strictly preventing the children of the family from being contaminated with all kinds of vices.

They are not like ordinary big families, they will hide and only solve the problem internally, they will tell others in the light of what crime the family has committed and be expelled, and also give the clan a chance to justify, if necessary, they can even ask the government to intervene, under such strict family rules, there are really few people who dare to take risks.

Therefore, many families are vying to marry the daughter of the Li family, and those who feel sorry for their daughter are also willing to marry their own girls into the Li family.

Mrs. Meng herself came through a tragic house fight, she only hopes that her daughter will not repeat her mistakes, in this case, the Li family is undoubtedly a very good choice, no matter how Li Gongzi is, at least the daughter can live in a relatively stable environment, even if she can't be a husband and wife love Qin Se and Ming, respect each other should be able to do it.

As for this Li Gongzi, Lu Teng said that Zhou Zhengcai is also a good student, and he is very popular among the students in Yancheng.

But Su Yiqing believes that if the water is clear, there is no fish, she doesn't believe that the Li family is really that perfect, but it's not her to marry.

Now I don't know what the Li family is asking for.

On this day, Lian Yufeng finally had free time to accompany Su Yiqing to visit the garden, taste tea, and chat.

Since it's a chat, there has to be a topic.Su Yiqing doesn't like to sing poems.,I like interesting things about the local customs.Even Yufeng has been to a lot of places.And well-read.The two have a lot of common topics.

At the beginning, we talked about interesting things, and then we talked about local snacks.

Just right, the maid brought up, a few plates of dim sum, one of which was tofu skin vegetarian stuffed buns,

Lian Yufeng tasted one and said with a smile: "This tofu skin bun is well done, you can taste it."

Su Yiqing also picked one up, took a bite, chewed it slowly, and said: "It's good, it's very fragrant, but the spices seem to be heavier, but all the things with vegetarian fillings are light, the freshness of the tea raw materials, the spices are used too much, covering up the smell of the main ingredients, but there are writers."

Even Yufeng tasted it again, and nodded after tasting it, "You are right, but the tofu skin does not even have a trace of tofu taste, and it can't be called a tofu skin bun."

Su Yiqing said: "I don't like cumbersome dishes very much, which destroys the original taste of the food, and I feel bored when I can't eat any ingredients."

Lian Yufeng said: "This can only be a personal preference, the clever chef makes the taste of bird's nest from tofu, so that people who can't afford bird's nest can also taste the deliciousness of tea, isn't it also very good."

Su Yiqing smiled, "I really made the tofu into the taste of bird's nest, then this bowl of tofu is only afraid that it is much more expensive than the real bird's nest, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it, these are still for the powerful people who can't eat certain ingredients, but they have to satisfy the appetite of the tongue, such as the old man who can't eat too much meat makes the vegetarian dish meaty, or some people who pretend to eat fast but refuse to grieve their tongues."

"Yes." Lian Yufeng nodded, "I'm not a chef, I don't know much about the world of cooking, it's inconvenient to judge other people's practices, but I also like that kind of simple thingsIt's a pity that I can't even remember the name of the place at the beginning, and it's not easy to find it.

"The kind of bun you're talking about isn't necessarily so delicious." Su Yiqing smiled faintly, "Hungry is as sweet as honey, full honey is not sweet, maybe you were too tired and hungry when you were in a hurry, and you got one. [,!] Steamed buns just happen to be a little special in this bun, and I haven't been able to eat them again, so I feel that the best product in the world, if you really want to eat it again, you may feel that the taste is mediocre."

Thinking about it, Su Yiqing has also been to many places and tasted various delicacies, and there are indeed a lot worth recalling, but behind these delicacies, there is a hard experience, such as the osmanthus cake in the Dajing stable, every time she eats it, the sweetness always seems to be mixed with a trace of bitterness, so that she doesn't dare to eat more, and she doesn't want to eat it anymore.

Back then, she thought that she was going to die at the hands of Queen Xu, and she felt a little regretful in her heart, feeling that she didn't eat a few more pieces of the most famous osmanthus cake in the stable, but later she got out of danger, but she didn't want to eat osmanthus cake anymore, and even other foods containing osmanthus were a little taboo, because these things would remind her of that experience.

"What about you, what do you think is the best thing to eat?" Lian Yufeng saw that Su Yiqing seemed to be in a hurry, so he smiled and opened the topic.

"I think it's the best, it doesn't seem to be there, some of the things I liked to eat when I was a child, I don't like it very much when I grow up." Su Yiqing thought about it seriously and said, "If you want to say that I like it the most, it seems to be steamed buns, when I was in Yunzhou, I ate the most home-made steamed buns."

"Have you lived in Yunzhou?" Lian Yufeng asked casually.

Su Yiqing became a little vigilant and said vaguely: "I've been here once, and Yunzhou buns are also very famous...... I also like to eat Qiongzhou mille-feuille near Yunzhou, and many of the snacks on the streets and alleys are distinctive."

She didn't want Lian Yufeng to know that she was involved in the Battle of Yunzhou, although she didn't do anything wrong, but after all, the Great Zhou suffered heavy losses in that battle, maybe there were Lian Yufeng's subordinates or friends in that battle.

"Yes, I also taste local snacks whenever I go to a place, and it is said that the taste of local snacks can judge the character of the locals, and the strong taste is also relatively strong, and the temperament of liking to eat light is mostly mild." Even Yufeng didn't seem to notice that Su Yiqing was unnatural.

"One side of the water and soil raises the other side." Su Yiqing didn't want to continue this topic, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Speaking of local customs, do you know anything about Dengzhou?"

Dengzhou, even Yufeng groaned slightly, and said: "It's a good place, the climate is mild, the products are abundant, and it's a rich place."

"How's the people there?" Su Yiqing asked again.

"There are more people reading in Dengzhou, they are stricter, and there are a lot of rules, which is a bit boring." Lian Yufeng said, looking at Su Yiqing, "What are you asking for?"

Su Yiqing took advantage of the situation and said: "Someone proposed to Sister Yan, mentioning the son of the Li family in Dengzhou, and my mother was a little moved, but Dengzhou is far away from Yancheng, and my mother is afraid that Sister Yan will not adapt."

Dengzhou Li family, Lian Yufeng groaned for a while, took a sip of tea, and said, "Is it Li Yushi's nephew Li Chunzhi?"

"You know?" Su Yiqing asked rhetorically.

"I guess." Lian Yufeng explained, "The Li family in Dengzhou is a famous family, but only Li Yushi is an official in the stable, and Li Yushi's two sons are still underage, but there is a nephew who studies with him, and he is quite famous at a young age.

"What do you think of this family business?" Su Yiqing simply asked directly.

"Not bad." Even Yu Feng didn't want to think about it, so he said, "Judging from the current situation of the Meng family, it is very good that Meng Yan can marry a family like the Li family."

"But I think the Li family has ulterior motives." Su Yiqing said honestly, "Do they want to slap you?"

"It should be." Lian Yufeng nodded, "To be exact, it can't be regarded as a stammer, do you remember the last time the Mingjiang River burst the embankment, the first to jump out of impeachment was Li Yushi, but I intervened slightly...... The goal was not achieved."

"But I heard that the Li family has a strict family style, why is this so?" Su Yiqing was a little disdainful, but anything that was famous was really not a good thing.

Lian Yufeng said: "If my mother-in-law really thinks that this is a good family, it doesn't hurt to agree."

"Why?" Su Yiqing really didn't want to say a word more this time. (To be continued)
