Sui Dynasty, the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Yangzhou Mansion.

Yangzhou was originally a prosperous city, but because Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was about to make a southern tour, it became lively.

Since Emperor Yang Guang of Sui succeeded to the throne, he was still a generation of Ming monarchs at the beginning, but since the failure of the three expeditions to Goryeo, not only did he lose his people and money, but also dragged the huge empire left by the first emperor to the point of declining.

After the failure of the three expeditions to Goryeo, Yang Guang began to go against the grain, not only spending millions of people to dig the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to connect the north and south, but also touring the south many times, building temporary palaces in various places, costing huge sums of thousands.

When the first emperor reigned thirteen years ago, what he left to his descendants was a prosperous country, and even if Yang Guang was lying down as an emperor, it would be enough for a lifetime.

It's a pity that Yang Guang was not greedy enough, and he just wanted to be the first emperor of the ages, but instead dragged the Great Sui Dynasty into a catastrophe.

Today's Great Sui is embattled, with constant internal and external troubles, external Turkic eyes, internal rebellion, and various ringing horses led by Wagangzhai to ignite the flames of war.

The court was not calm inside, and Yang Su, the prime minister of the Great Sui, gradually became unsubservient, if it weren't for the four major lords to contain each other, he would have killed the monarch and seized the throne.

Since the Jin Dynasty has grown and grown, the family gate valve is resolutely the emperor of the soil, and gradually listens to the central court and does not listen to the announcement, and the discerning people know that the Great Sui is no longer able to buy and sell, and many people with lofty ideals have voted for the Ming Lord, and the world is becoming more and more wonderful and turbulent.

Although the country was in a mess, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty ignored it and devoted himself to fun, which was quite a bit of a broken can.

However, no matter how chaotic it is outside, Yangzhou is very stable and calm, because there is a Zijin beam of the Sui Dynasty and Yang Lin, the king of the mountain.

Yang Lin, one of the nine founding elders of the Sui Dynasty, the uncle of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and the half-brother of the first Emperor Yang Jian, is now the general manager of the Yangzhou march of the Great Sui Dynasty, responsible for the construction of the temporary palace of Yangzhou.

As the uncle of Emperor Sui, Yang Lin not only has a high seniority, higher ability, a prison dragon stick, invincible opponents all over the world, few people can be defeated, known as the first master in the court, he sits in Yangzhou, and the ringing horses around the country dare not approach Yangzhou one step, but also make Yangzhou a rare prosperous place in the Great Sui, has surpassed Luoyang, Chang'an and other capitals.

To say that the most prosperous place in Yangzhou City, it is none other than the South Gate Market, which is full of traffic in the morning, and there is an endless stream of vendors, which also makes this small place have countless shops.

Since the opening of the Grand Canal in Yangguang, traders from the north and south have communicated with each other, and Yangzhou, as the largest city along the Grand Canal, has naturally gradually prospered.

There is a Lao Feng vegetable meat bun at the south gate of Yangzhou, which is famous all over the city, not only because Lao Feng's vegetable meat bun is affordable, delicious and cheap, but also because he has a beautiful daughter-in-law who solicits business.

Lao Feng's daughter-in-law is called Zhen Sister-in-law, and she is also a hard-working person, because the old father in the family is in debt, and ruthlessly sells her to Lao Feng as a concubine, but unfortunately before she passed the door, Lao Feng's original wife Li was jealous, and she actually cut off her beard and directly married her Zhen sister-in-law to Lao Feng's son Feng Daoqian as a child daughter-in-law.

At that time, Feng Daoqian, the son of Lao Feng, was only ten years old, and he has been five years now.

Although Lao Feng was reluctant in his heart, he saw that the concubine in his hand had become a daughter-in-law, but he also had suffering, so he simply became an adult, and he was cheap for an ignorant child, and he was also a sister-in-law.

When she got married, Feng Daoqian was only ten years old, and her sister-in-law was six years older than her.

Because Feng Daoqian was too good to her.

To say that the old Feng couple has been bitter and mean all their lives, but they gave birth to a good son who is polite, righteous and benevolent, although Feng Daoqian is not big, he is very good, not only filial piety to his father, but also to his sister-in-law, even if the old Feng and his wife bully his sister-in-law, as long as it is reasonable, Feng Daoqian will argue with his parents and stand up for his sister-in-law, so although the age gap between the husband and wife is large, they are very affectionate.

Over the years, Feng Daoqian has not disliked his sister-in-law's mother's family, but actively helped his father-in-law repay his debts and help him borrow his gambling problems.

Today, Lao Feng's steamed bun shop is open as usual early in the morning, and the sister-in-law is selling steamed buns in front with a red light, and Lao Feng and his wife and their baby son are making steamed buns in the back.

After a while, Lao Feng's bun shop was full of people, most of them were buying buns, and some of them were coming to see the stunning beauties.

The stall owner is a 60-year-old mother-in-law, who has long been jealous of the business next to her, but has no means to rob the business.

"Hmph, Lao Feng is really a fan of money, such a beautiful daughter-in-law dares to swagger through the market, be careful of being caught by the bully Xiangma!" Granny Wang whispered sourly, but was unexpectedly heard by a young scholar who happened to pass by.

The scholar lives in the village outside the city all the year round, and this is the first time he has entered the city, and he saw that Lao Feng's bun shop was crowded with people, so it was not lively, so he was curious to come and see, but he didn't expect to hear Granny Wang's self-muttering.

"Old man, what's so special about this old Feng bun shop, so many people are vying to buy buns!" The young scholar walked to the cake stall and asked Granny Wang.

Granny Wang saw that the scholar was a fresh face, but she didn't answer his question immediately.

The scholar thought that Granny Wang saw that he was not patronizing the business, so he didn't reply, took out a few pennies from his arms, and handed it to Granny Wang.

"Old man, have some cookcakes!"

Granny Wang didn't see the money, but pushed the money back.

"This guest, if you really want to buy cooking cakes, the old woman is welcome, if you want to inquire about the old Feng family, please find someone else!"

"Oh!" Now it was the scholar's turn to be curious: "Why doesn't my mother-in-law make any money, isn't it too little?"

The scholar was about to take out another money, but he was stopped by Granny Wang.

"Where did you come from, you dare to buy my princess, tell you, although I can't see the old Feng and his wife's personality, but I watched the Feng family grow up, if you want to beat his daughter-in-law, the old woman will fight hard to pull you to see the official!"

Wang Po spoke quite loudly, which had already alarmed the people around her, and many people who heard Wang Po's words had been pointing at the scholar and gossiping.

The scholar was so ashamed that he covered his face with his sleeves and left, for fear of being embarrassed again, but the princess still stood in place angrily and shouted at the scholar who was far away.

The little farce did not cause much turmoil, and the sister-in-law sold her buns as usual.

At this time, two children came into the crowd, thirteen or fourteen years old, ragged, but clean, and did not look like Hanako.

The two children crowded to the front, and when they saw their sister-in-law, they cried out in unison:

"Sister-in-law, here are ten vegetable and meat buns!"

When the sister-in-law saw the two children, she said angrily: "Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, you are here to make steamed buns on credit again!"

The child on the left smiled and said to his sister-in-law: "There is no arrears, when I Kou Zhong becomes a general, I will definitely pay it back a hundred times!"
