Why? Bai Zhanpeng remembered that he had said that he knew his friend's wife, and couldn't help frowning, "Are you really talking to..."

"I am naturally familiar with Mrs. Zhao, and when Mr. Zhao fell ill, I pointed the way to the former imperial doctor's mansion for Mrs. Zhao, and I can barely be regarded as half of Mr. Zhao's life-saving benefactor." Chu Gehuan was half-leaning on the chair, half-lowering his eyes, and there was an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking.

Bai Zhanpeng heard this and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go together tomorrow." ”

The two agreed, and after a long time of telling about the strange things in the cities, they dispersed to rest.

In the Tian Mansion not far from the Chu family's courtyard, Mrs. Tian rarely looked forward to seeing Master Tian stay in her room for one night, pulling Master Tian to gossip, talking about the daytime poetry meeting, the delicious dishes that Master Tian made for tofu, and Zhao Fengnian's poetry, which was really full of praise.

In his life, in addition to studying medical skills is poetry and books, he rarely cares about the family's shop industry, and most of them are taken care of by Mrs. Tian, so when she heard this, the first thing she thought of was business, and she asked a few words on the side, and sure enough, as she thought, the Zhao family held this poetry meeting to give the family's tofu business a reputation, which was really a good means. If her stupid daughter hears such a truth, I wonder if she will be able to wake up from her infatuation?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there were some opportunities, and regardless of the fact that Master Tian had already fallen asleep, she quietly put on her clothes, took two close-fitting big maids, and went to the lotus courtyard, and sure enough, the lights in the main room had not been extinguished.

Seeing that Mrs. suddenly came to the door, the little maid guarding the door was startled, and hurriedly wanted to go in to report, but was stopped by Mrs. Tian, dismissed them, and pushed the door in alone.

Tian He was sad to himself, and suddenly realized that someone had come in, and thought it was a personal maid, so he quickly wiped away his tears and scolded, "Didn't you ask you to serve outside?" ”

When I saw that it was my mother sitting at the table, I was so shocked that I immediately stood up, stepped forward to salute, and whispered, "Mother, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" ”

"With you two uneasy daughters, how can I sleep peacefully." Mrs. Tian sighed, "Your sister has been reckless and domineering since she was a child, and it is not surprising to me that she did that. But you are so well-behaved and sensible, you are about to get married, how can you still do such an ugly thing, if your husband's family knows about it and quits the family affairs, how can you live in this life? ”

Tian He heard that his mother was counting, and knelt down with tears in his eyes, his eyes were full of grievances, "Mother, my daughter is not filial, my daughter just admires Mr. Zhao's poetry, he is such a noble and Qingqi person, I am afraid that my daughter will never be able to meet him again in this life, if I can always accompany him, my daughter is also willing to be a slave and a maid, I only wish to talk to him every day about poetry and lyrics, enjoy flowers and appreciate the moon..."

"You..." Mrs. Tian heard her daughter say such shameless words, and she raised her hand angrily to fight, but saw that her daughter had already taken the initiative to raise her beautiful face, closed her eyes, and looked like admitting punishment and admitting punishment, she put down her hand again and sighed, "Our Tian family, although it is not a wealthy family, but it is also a Xinglin family, you are a young lady, and you want to be a slave and a maid to others, what face will our Tian family have in Lingfeng City in the future?" ”

Tian He stubbornly straightened his back, refusing to compromise with his mother, Mrs. Tian ignored her, and continued, "You like Mr. Zhao's poetry and admire his Gao Hua Qingqi, don't you know that he is just like this on the surface, and in fact he is also a businessman who is full of copper smell, he..."

Hearing his mother's insult and admiration, Tian He only felt like he had been pricked by a needle, and immediately retorted, "Mother, you hate your daughter and don't fight for it, just beat and scold your daughter, don't affect your husband." ”

Mrs. Tian couldn't help it, slapped her daughter in the face, and said hatefully, "What I'm saying is the truth, he held the poetry club today, and won countless praises for his tofu proposition, don't you know that the tofu workshop is his family's industry, he is in the name of the poetry club, and gives his own business a reputation, this is a complete businessman, you hate businessmen the most, and you don't want to marry into a copper-smelling family, and now you don't want to be shameless, you would rather be disobedient and unfilial, but also admire the man who follows is actually a businessman..."

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, mother, you lied to me..." Tian He didn't want to admit that the innocent person who stood under the tree, as if he wanted to ride the wind, was also a businessman with copper stench, she grabbed the corner of her mother's skirt and shook it, hoping that her mother would change her words.

In the end, it was the meat that fell from her body, and Mrs. Tian was reluctant to let her daughter cry, but if she didn't take this opportunity to let her daughter see the truth today, even if she was forced to marry into her husband's family in the future, she would definitely not have a good life.

"If you don't believe it, just wait and see, from tomorrow, the restaurants and restaurants in the city will definitely be busy with tofu, and the Zhao family's workshop will definitely be prosperous."

If his mother said this, Tian He still didn't want to believe it, but when it came to the whole city, her mother couldn't ask all the restaurants and restaurants to lie with her, so this matter... It's true? She slowly let go of her hands and burst into tears.

Mrs. Tian helped her daughter up, carefully combed her unkempt hair, remembered a certain man who had been in her heart when she was young, and whispered comfortingly, "Daughter, every woman has a favorite person when she is not married, but after all, we have to live with the person we are married to, and we will spend the rest of our lives in another mansion." People who admired them like that will forget them after a long time. In a few months you will be married, and you must know that your husband already has two concubines, and if it were not for fear of anger with your father, I am afraid that the eldest son would be two or three years old. If you don't cheer up, after you get married, you won't be able to please your husband and give birth to your eldest son, and your life will be difficult. Listen to my mother's words, plan for the future, don't be stupid. ”

Tian He cried while listening, not knowing whether to mourn the lost first love, or fear and the days of intrigue.

Mrs. Tian patted her on the shoulder, got up and opened the door to leave, and a few maids waiting outside the door immediately stepped forward to serve, she said a few words, and went back.

When Mr. Tian was half-asleep and half-awake, he saw his old wife go to bed, so he asked, "What's the matter, you don't sleep so late?" ”

Mrs. Tian lay down quietly, and only said after a while, "He'er is a little loose there, I'm afraid I won't do stupid things in the future." ”

Master Tian guessed one or two, and also sighed, "It's good for her to understand, if Mr. Zhao is alone, I would very much like to be his son-in-law, but it's a pity..."

Mrs. Tian thought of the woman who always looked faint, but was extremely smart and kind, and sighed in her heart, although she didn't want to admit it, but her two daughters were indeed not as good as others.

On the second day, as Mrs. Tian expected, all the restaurants in the city, since they opened their doors in the morning, there were always people shouting for a tofu banquet every three or five days, and the shopkeeper was confused, because he had never heard of this kind of food.

In particular, scholars and literati like to go to the Sanhe Building, almost every time there is a guest, will order a tofu feast, yesterday went to the poetry of the scholars, at that time, every dish, are only eaten so little a few pieces, completely unsatisfied, today is calling friends, planning to eat again, but was told that there is no tofu, so they all complained loudly, the shopkeeper was anxious, asked all the people in the store, there is really a young man who lives in the village outside the city knows, speaking of this tofu is a new food made by the Zhao family in Yunjia Village, and it is tender and smooth, it is very delicious.

The shopkeeper couldn't sit still, and comforted the guests that the tofu was not available for a while, and he would come to taste it tomorrow, and there would definitely be a tofu banquet at that time.

Then he took a carriage and galloped to Yunjia Village.

Zhao Fengnian got up in the morning, and sent the list to Li Zheng, Li Zheng saw that two of the above three men were the Yun family, and he was very satisfied, so he asked his son to go door to door to report the letter, and then gathered everyone to go to Zhao's house together, the third pot of tofu was being made in the Zhao family's workshop, and the heat overflowed from the doors and windows, which was extremely lively and busy.

Zhao Fengnian invited them into the account room, and briefly explained two sentences, saying that the wages of men and women were 800 Wen, and after a month, if they were diligent and did not make big mistakes, they would increase by 200 Wen. Everyone rejoiced in their hearts, and they all responded together, and they must do their work well.

Zhao Fengnian called Zhang Dahe and Cui Niang to lead people down to talk about the rules, and talked about the private school with Lizheng, preparing to start school in six days, and the workshop was too busy every morning, so he went to class in the afternoon, and he received 200 Wen per month.

Li Zheng was worried that the bundle was too high, and he only heard that it was only 200 Wen, so he immediately put his heart at ease, which was twice as high as the original 100 Wen, but it was too cheap to invite another gentleman, so the old man solemnly saluted and thanked him, and Zhao Fengnian returned the gift, so he sent him out, and then sat firmly in the account room and waited for the business to come to the door.

In the west wing of the backyard, Rui Xue racked her brains to think about the tofu dishes she had eaten in her previous life, wrote them down carefully, and then asked Wu Yu, Da Zhuang and Heizi to take them over and copy a few more copies.

Cui Niang brought her two little daughters-in-law in to salute, and when she saw a few people, she seemed to be buried in a pile of paper, and couldn't help laughing, "These boys are about to become cats." ”

Rui Xue got up and let them sit down in the hall, and she didn't need Cui Niang to remind her, so she laughed with the two.

Two little daughters-in-law one is called Yingzi, one is called Pomegranate, Rui Xue and they are all familiar with each other, both of them have children in the private school, when Zhao Fengnian was sick before, the two also came to send a hundred dollars, and later when building a house, it was even more busy for several days, Rui Xue remembered in her heart that there were people in the workshop, and Sister-in-law Zhang and Cui Niang also said that they had good character, so they could naturally be recruited first.

The two of them also knew a little in their hearts, this must be the good cause planted that day, and they were very happy in their hearts, solemnly saluted Rui Xue, and changed the title to the boss lady, Rui Xue simply instructed a few words, and comforted them to listen to Cui Niang's assignment of work.

Rui Xue is a kind character, and she has a good reputation in the village, so a few words make the two little daughters-in-law even more grateful, and they will definitely do a good job in the future.

The front yard was busy, and Cui Niang led them down after sitting for a while.
