Early in the morning of the second day, Yundian Shi had a hangover and did not wake up, but his mother-in-law Xiangshi pushed him again and again, "The county lord is back, and he must not be lazy, so don't get up quickly, don't miss the morning ya." Yun Dianshi woke up suddenly, got up in a hurry, washed up indiscriminately, and didn't have time to eat breakfast, so he only told his mother-in-law to go to see Mrs. Xiantai, so he took three steps and two steps out of the door.

He looked up at the bright sky, wrapped his official robe tightly, shrunk his neck, and rode out of the county town against the cold wind, heading towards the riverbank. Half a mile away from the cottage, Yun Dianshi smelled the aroma of sweet corn porridge, and his empty stomach suddenly screamed a few times.

The grass hall is at the foot of the high post where the three rivers meet, and the front is less than two miles away from the Cao River. From a distance, it can be seen that the Cao Gang Yunding, the slender man, and the gate man are only wearing single clothes and horse coats in the cold wind, carrying burdens on their shoulders, sweating profusely, and being busy going back and forth. The ground behind the thatched cottage is slightly higher, and there is a grass roof and a small market on the top, and the four walls of the thatched cottage are surrounded by bamboo strips, and the inside is bright, and most of them are poor families.

At this time, the gate outside the thatched hall was wide open, and several children were leaning against the door, snotty, laughing and peeping.

There are three horses tied to the manger in front of the yard, Yundian Shi knows Wang Xiancheng's mount, and secretly takes a sip, Wang Xiancheng has been fighting with the little powder on the back street of the county for a few days, and he will not leave the house until the third pole in the day, and the county lord will come back at this time, so he will pretend to be diligent.

He hurriedly dismounted, threw the reins at random on the crossbar by the manger, and ran out of breath to the grass hall, and the smell of porridge in the courtyard became stronger and stronger.

The grass hall is very vast, the 20 soap class officials hold the water and fire sticks solemnly stand side by side, the hall is placed in the county platform high case, there are three bamboo chairs on each side, and there are people with official qualities such as Wang County Cheng, Lin Zhubo, and Qian Patrol Inspection. The "quiet" and "avoidance" cards on the county government have not been moved from the county government, which has reduced some murderous spirit.

Chen Yan had already sat down on the high case, and the head of the soap service Wang Zhutou stood beside Chen Yan. Five steps behind Chen Yan, a green bamboo tulle screen was erected, blocking the stone path towards the middle gate. Still according to the rules of the county government, the subordinate officials only discuss matters in the front hall and are not allowed to enter the inner house of the middle gate.

When Yun Dianshi walked up to the front hall and gave a salute to the county lord, he heard a sound of gentle footsteps coming from the back hall, and a tall figure appeared on the gauze screen. The county lord quickly stood up when he heard the voice, turned to the screen, and after a while, walked out with a can of polenta in his left hand and four or five bowls in his right hand. And the figure went again.

Chen Yan glanced at all the subordinate officials and said with a smile: "They are all in a hurry, let's use them together." "All the subordinate officials bowed their heads.

"In the end, it is Xiao Dengke, even a person like the county lord, who has to get up late, but we don't dare to eat breakfast, for fear of being late." Inspector Qian moved the knife on his waist back, yawned quietly, and laughed softly: "Look at this intimacy, the new lady is so spoiled, if the tofu Shih Tzu wants to enter the door of the county lord, without this nod, I am afraid that there is no hope." ”

Yun Dianshi's face sank, and he said lightly: "Don't hurry up and shut up, what is that widow?" is also worthy of being compared with Mrs. County? Be careful to tell Madame to listen. ”

Qian Inspector was obviously very familiar with Yundian Shi, and when he saw him pretending, he chuckled indifferently: "The hour is almost here, as long as the county lord is here, then the tofu Shih Tzu must come, and I don't know where I am." Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the solemn Wang Zhutou, and then at the thin Wang Xiancheng, and snorted: "See, Wang Zhutou has already dragged the three pennies in his hand, just waiting for the tofu Shih Tzu to come to the door, let's see." ”

While speaking, he used porridge, and the figure behind the screen appeared again. Chen Yan took the utensils that Wang Zhutou had packed up and turned to the back of the screen. Qi Su Niang took the things in Chen Yan's hand, and was about to go back to the back house, when she heard a sweet and crisp voice outside the courtyard, and shouted: "Tofu brain, fragrant and soft tofu brain, three scoops for a penny, sell tofu brain." ”

She only screamed twice, and the king of the hall glanced at the screen, and walked out hurriedly, and after a while, he came back with a big crockpot of tofu brains.

Qi Su Niang saw this in the gap of the screen, and understood that Chen Yan had just asked those officials to share the porridge and drink, and was originally waiting for this tofu brain, but thinking that they were used to drinking, they didn't care. The corner of her eyes passed through the gap between the screens, and crossed the front hall, and she could vaguely see the figure carrying the burden at the door, and the long skirt of filial piety was very thin.

Unexpectedly, for ten days in a row, the woman who sold tofu was selling at the door every day, and Wang Zhutou bought Sanwen tofu brain every day. Qi Su Niang found it interesting and was about to look for an opportunity to inquire with Chen Yan, but Chen Yan went to the salt farm on the edge of the county border to deal with some salt disputes with Governor Xu.

At this moment, Qi Su Niang felt something different. Chen Yan went to inspect with money, Wang Xiancheng and Yun Dianshi were in charge of the hall, Wang Zhutou did not leave, but the tofu Shih Tzu disappeared, and I didn't see Wang Zhutou go to her to buy tofu brain. A few days later, Chen Yan returned from outside, and the cries of tofu brains sounded again, and Wang Zhutou was still a crockpot of three pennies, every day.

In the backyard of the cottage, Qi Suniang pondered about this matter while smiling and sending Mrs. Xiang of Yundian Shi and Mrs. Xu of Wang County out with a smile. The backyard of the thatched cottage is only five old tiled houses, and a large courtyard is surrounded by mud walls, but it is also a stove room and a well. Some fields have been planted under the big bamboo shed, and some flowers and plants have been planted, but they have long been scattered in early winter. As soon as the back door is opened, you can see a piece of dwellings behind the thatched cottage, and there is a small market in the middle of the open space, mostly vendors selling vegetables and old things.

After Qi Suniang arrived here, she took off the bright brocade dress she wore when she went ashore, and took off the golden hairpin and cuidian and the jewel bead hoop. She only wore a magpie robe, an old dress in the countryside of Gaoyou, with a ruyi golden hairpin on her head, combed a braid, and nothing else. Because of the love of Hangzhou Guan Yuhe's lotus powder tastes good, occasionally pounce on some.

On the first day, she bought two Luhua hens and two hemp ducks in the yard from the chicken seller Wang Po in the market, and then bought some fresh vegetables every morning.

Most of the people in the market and houses welcomed her ashore, but no one recognized that this woman named "Su Niang" was the new wife of the county lord, watching her come out of the backyard of the county lord to sell vegetables, and her accent was Yangzhou Gaoyou, everyone thought that she was the maid brought by the new lady.

A few days later, Chen Yan was summoned to Huai'an by Zhang Pengxi, the governor of the river, this time accompanied by Wang Xiancheng, and Yundian Shi guarded the house. Qi Su Niang went out to the market early in the morning and bought a handful of green vegetables and put a bundle of bean clips into a bamboo basket. The princess who bought the chicken picked up an old hen with a reed flower from the chicken coop and handed it to the guests, and when she saw Qi Su Niang coming, she beckoned and shouted: "Su Niang, has the little white flower laid eggs?" Did the method I taught you yesterday work? Madame still likes it? Qi Su Niang walked over with a smile, and Mrs. Wang kicked the small bamboo stool at her feet to her, and said, "Say a few words to the old woman." Then he turned around and went back to bargain with the woman.

Qi Su Niang walked over, sat quietly aside, and put the bamboo basket at her feet. She looked up at the sky, silently counted twenty times, and sure enough, she saw the thin figure carrying the tofu burden walking through the back door of the cottage and slowly walking towards the market. I saw that she was plain white, wearing filial piety flowers, a pair of long and charming phoenix eyes on her small melon seed face, deep double eyelids swept straight into her sideburns, and her long eyelashes hung down from time to time, as if she didn't dare to look at people. The weight on her shoulders made her even more delicate. Although the widow who sells tofu is not very colorful, such a demeanor with this plain dress has a different kind of charm.

Mrs. Wang had already sold chickens and was counting the money, when she saw that the tofu Xi Shi walked over, she hurriedly greeted, "Xu Niangzi, where is the tofu sold?" The widow raised her eyes and smiled, and the two narrow phoenix eyes under her long eyebrows gently swept over Qi Su Niang, and called softly, "Granny Wang." And it passed.

Mrs. Wang looked at her back, took a sip, squatted on the ground, and quietly asked Qi Su Niang: "Widow Jiao, will your wife let her in the door?" ”
