Chapter 40: The Daughter's Secret

If Cheng Suqing just felt a little weird when the wives and concubines of Ximen Mansion sat at the same table, then Cheng Suqing could only be described as shocked when faced with seven or eight unheard of but extremely delicious dishes on this table.

In this era, because of the prevalence of commerce and trade, the Great Song Dynasty at this time can really be described as a dynasty of ten thousand foreign countries, and Tokyo Bianliang is a collection of various products from all countries in the world, whether it is the ginseng of Goryeo, the good horses of the Liao country, or the spices of the Nanyang countries, and even the swords of the great food country thousands of miles away are also sold.

Tokyo Bianliang, in this era, is the largest and most prosperous city in the world, there is no one.

Because of this, from the officials and ministers to the common wealthy, all of them focus on pleasure, which is why Cai Jingna and other "Fengheng Yuda" are said. For Ximenqing, who came from later generations, such a scene can only be said that if you want to make it perish, you must first make it crazy.

Since Cheng Suqing, who grew up in Bianliang, is from a family of scholars, he naturally understands the truth of never getting tired of eating, but even so, the chic and delicious dishes of Ximen Mansion are still unexpected. In this era of steaming and cooking as the main cooking method, Ximenqing refers to the various dishes made by the Chinese food of later generations, for the people of this era, it is naturally different, just for the application and understanding of sugar, wine, salt and other spices, even the famous chef of this era, I am afraid that it is not as good as an ordinary third-rate chef in later generations.

After dinner, Ximenqing went to the front yard, it seemed that when he was not at home in the past two days, Cangzhou Chai came to the house, saying that the first batch of Yandi white salt had crossed the border, and Ximenqing needed to arrange people to go to Cangzhou to take over.

Originally, there was a steward in charge of this matter, but because it was the first time, there was no precedent, and the steward needed to report it in detail. What's more, in the future, this white salt will be sold in various states and counties on the two roads in Shandong, and it will be necessary to take the waterway of Liangshanbo, which will inevitably have some matters, and Ximenqing will also have to explain carefully to the steward.

Ximen Qing, who went to the front yard, did not mention it, but the three-room wife and concubine in the backyard opened the card game in a side room on the right hand side of the main hall. A delicately crafted rosewood box containing a pair of mahjong tiles made of white jade.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, whether it was the folk court, there were already leaf cards popular, which was the earliest prototype of mahjong in later generations, and the mahjong in front of him was composed of 136 cards, which was specially ordered by Ximen Qingren to go to the jade shop in Dongping Mansion. Although the women of this era were not in the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were not as free as later generations. In order to let the wives and concubines in the backyard kill time, so as not to be too boring, Ximen Qing made out the mature mahjong in the future.

Needless to say, once this kind of card play came out, it was loved by all the women in the backyard, Ximen Qing was not at home on the day, Wu Yueniang and others had already developed the habit of playing cards after dinner, and now there is one more Cheng Suqing, and only one more card friend to make up the game.

Cheng Suqing is already smart, although the rules of this mahjong are a bit complicated, but the number of big cards can't be done at leisure, so under the guidance of other maids next to him, he has understood the gameplay of this new game after playing a few games.

Mahjong is a thing, like that Go, easy to learn and difficult to master, Cheng Suqing is the first time to get started, naturally not as good as others, but after two rounds, the chips in front of him are completely lost.

"It's almost time, everyone has rested, and the officials should come over later!"

Wu Yueniang glanced at the leak next to her, and estimated that the time was a little late, so she persuaded everyone to disperse, but before leaving, she said to her eldest maid Pang Chunmei, "You keep the chips, and the sisters have to settle the accounts!" ”

Cheng Suqing's bedroom has its own maid to lead Xiaoru to clean up, I'm afraid it has already been arranged at this time, Cheng Suqing is about to get up and leave, but she doesn't want to be stopped by Chunmei who is cleaning up the table.

"Third lady, the eldest lady has orders, tonight you should be the loser on the card game to sleep, you have been in the dust all the way, the slave maid will take you to the bath room!"

When Cheng Suqing said such words on the boat, in fact, Ximenqing had not touched her body when she stayed in the suburban field shop the night before, and she thought that the person would definitely stay in Wu Yueniang's room today, but she didn't expect such a turn, and her face showed a little shame for a while.

"I'm tired of Miss Chunmei!"

Look at this Pang Chunmei is the big girl next to Wu Yueniang, when she just played cards, this Chunmei was also on the table, and she also had a certain status in the house, Cheng Suqing had just arrived, and her words were a little polite.

In fact, this matter was completely arranged by Wu Yueniang in private, thinking that the two were "newly married", she and the Pan family would not come to mix.

"The third lady lost miserably today, and the slave maid won the same money alone!"

On the way to the bathhouse, Pang Chunmei smiled and chatted with Cheng Suqing, not wanting the number of wins and losses to really scare the other party. Thinking that his father was the prefect of the imperial court, the five-grade officials of the imperial court, and the monthly income was converted into silver only more than 100 times, and the game between the women in the backyard was actually four or five times, which was really a bit terrifying.

"The second lady's monthly money is hundreds, and I think the third lady is the same amount."

Seeing that Cheng Suqing's face changed a little, Pang Chunmei hurriedly explained. Speaking of which, after coming back from Cangzhou last time, my lord gave monthly money to a group of family members in the backyard, just like Pang Chunmei, a big girl who has a house, and there are five times a month of silver, and the daily food and clothing are still the accounts of the public middle school. It's no wonder that now those maids are smiling like flowers when they see Ximenqing, which is completely different from the previous restraint and carefulness.

The monthly money of a concubine is worth more than a five-grade official of the imperial court, I don't know whether to say that Ximen Mansion is too luxurious, or whether to say that he is good at money.

The richest man in Yanggu County is not simple!

Cheng Suqing was a little absent-minded along the way, until she entered the bath room, and after Pang Chunmei closed the door behind her, she was shocked to realize that there was still a man in the bathtub in the room.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and covered his mouth in time and didn't really scream.

The only man who can come in the backyard of this high-gate mansion is Ximenqing, and now he is his concubine, and it is within his duty to wash up the officials.

Behind the man, Ai Ai was wearing a skirt and straight pants with only a belly pocket, but he didn't want Ximenqing, who was originally closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, heard the movement behind him, and just turned his head, but at a glance he saw Cheng Suqing's beautiful appearance.

At this time, the woman's pants were already open, and with the angle of Ximenqing lying on her side, she suddenly saw the woman's embarrassing place, which was actually a small white and tender steamed bun, smooth and delicate without half a variegation.

is so alive and fragrant, even a saint is unbearable, but after a lot of tossing in this bath, Cheng Suqing, who was new to history, was soft and numb, and finally just fell into Ximenqing's arms.

"Officials are not afraid of the white tiger?"

The secrets of this daughter's family are difficult to tell, even the parents do not know.

"Such a gift, there is no one in ten thousand, such a bastard said, what should he do!"

Ximenqing felt that he had picked up a treasure at this time, and for a while, there was spring in the bathroom......
