"Concubine?"

Pan'er was stunned for a moment, she never thought that Qi Mu would have such a big courage, although Qi Chuan is a champion, but in the end he is still young, if it is not for Prime Minister Xu Cheng these years, if he wants to be a household servant, I am afraid it is not an easy task, and now he has not yet established himself, he wants to do something to cross the river and demolish the bridge, and make such a moth, which is really eye-opening.

After not hearing Pan'er speak for a long time, Lin glanced at her up and down, lowered his voice and asked, "Son, don't you still have thoughts about Qi Chuan?" ”

Hearing this, Pan'er's face rose like a blood peach, and she couldn't cry or laugh, and if she didn't kill the Lin family in advance, she said that the pickled things that Qi Chuan had done in this life were very disgusting.

Pan'er didn't know what her mother thought, and she even thought that she had any feelings for Qi Chuan, so she hurriedly retorted: "What thoughts? I can't wait for him to die soon, the Qi family almost forced our mother and daughter to death before, Xu Qingling has resorted to means again and again, and her daughter's memory is not so bad, if you still have any thoughts about him, isn't it a brain in water? ”

Upon hearing this, Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Qi Chuan is not a good one, the skin is good, I don't know how many little girls in Beijing are obsessed with him and call him "Jade Face Langjun", but as long as you look at the things done by the Qi family, you know that Qi Chuan's character is not very good, plus Pan'er has already married Chu Liang, and the couple gave birth to Xiaobao, once they are involved with Qi Chuan, it is not a good thing.

Seeing that Pan'er's eyes were firm, not at all like a lie, Lin didn't continue to ask about the matter, but just asked the nurse to bring the little stone over, as soon as the child entered the house, he straightened his arms and made a fuss for Pan'er to hug, even ignoring Lin's mother-in-law.

Lived in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion for three whole days, Pan'er accompanied the Lin family during the day, sometimes holding a small stone, feeding him the spiritual spring water, the child's body and bones are much more delicate than the adult's, Pan'er was afraid that he couldn't stand it, and he didn't dare to feed more, so he dipped some water with chopsticks and rubbed the lips of the small stone.

Probably aware that the spiritual spring water is a rare good thing, even if the small stone can't open its mouth now, it is willing to stick to Pan'er.

Pan'er is also a habitual child, holding the little stone and not letting go, when Chu Liang came to pick up Pan'er and left, the little daughter-in-law was still a little reluctant, making the man's face gloomy as the bottom of the pot. Lin went out with his son to send it off, and the little baby still cried for a while, but it was a pity that the thunder did not rain, and it could not make the hard-hearted Dingbei Hou soft-hearted, and finally brought the little daughter-in-law back to the abandoned village.

After returning to the abandoned village, Chu Liang was busy with his feet not touching the ground, and sometimes he even left the capital, and he didn't know where he went.

Even if Pan'er doesn't know anything about the things in the court, she obviously feels that something is wrong, although there are a little more things than usual in the New Year, but it is not so noisy, there are hundreds of guards in the abandoned village, who live near the small courtyard, led by Luan Ying, and guard the small courtyard with a good eye.

I was uncomfortable in the Zhuangzi, Pan'er couldn't go anywhere, so I simply started to make bacon with Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Wu, her method of making bacon is very simple, as long as you take the good pork belly, wipe it layer by layer with salt, and hang it in the kitchen near the stove to smoke, or it won't be long before the bacon can be done.

The smoked bacon is covered with a layer of gray shell, and it is sticky and greasy when washed, but it is cut into thin slices, and it is steamed in a pot over high heat, or it will not take long for the fragrance to come out.

People in Beijing don't like this way of eating, but Pan'er used to be in Shiqiao Village, and every household in the village did this, at that time, Lin's body was not as good as before, and the mother and daughter had no input in their hands, even if Pan'er was greedy, she couldn't taste the taste of steamed bacon, and now she can do it herself, and she won't be treated badly.

Pan'er was busy with her own affairs, and she didn't forget to mention it to Chu Liang, who went out early and returned late, saying that she would take both the Ling family and the old marquis over.

When the man heard this, he didn't say anything at the time, and after a day, he sent the remaining two masters of the Hou Mansion directly to the abandoned village, and there were many repaired courtyards in the Zhuangzi, although they were not as exquisite as the Hou Mansion, but they were not very simple, and the mother-in-law cleaned up a little, it was much stronger than the blue brick and tile houses in the homes of ordinary rich families, and the Ling family was a little unaccustomed at first, and after a few days of adaptation, there were not so many words of complaining in the mouth.

As Chu Liang's grandfather, the old marquis has a clear view of the current situation in the capital, probably seeing it, and he is not worried about panicking, drinking Nanguo pear wine hidden in the cellar every day, teasing and teasing the little grandson, idle and idle, and even according to the recipe in the book, together with Ge Zhichuan, made honey wine with wolfberry honey.

The honey in the beehive was eaten by the slow loris, which was very cold in winter, and it should not produce honey, but Lao Qi moved the beehive to the flower room, which put a lot of flowers and plants that the old man Shi liked, and the house was connected to the earth dragon, which could also bloom in winter.

In addition, these flowers have been watered by Pan'er with spiritual spring water, which grows more luxuriant than the flowers and plants of the season, and the bees are already very diligent.

The cooks of the Hou Mansion came to a few, and the craftsmanship was much stronger than that of Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Qian, the two of them were not good at making hot dishes, but the white case kung fu learned well, Xiaobao's teeth have not grown together, the bun is not soft enough, and it is very laborious to bite, so Mrs. Wu came up with a good way, stirring it with goat's milk and egg white, adding some honey, kneading the dough, and then steaming it in the pot, so that the steamed milk noodles and dry food are soft and delicious, and with a faint sweetness, Xiaobao loves to eat very much.

Seeing that it was almost the end of the year, Luan Yu brought goat's milk over, covered his mouth and smiled:

"Madam, I heard that the Qi family is in trouble!"

Luan Yu is also a clever person, knowing that her wife doesn't want to see that Qi Shilang, today she was shopping for some things, and happened to hear others talking about it, so after a little inquiry, she came back to say.

"What's wrong?" Pan'er is not a person with a good heart, Qi Chuan and Xu Qingling are not good people, there is a mess in their family, she can naturally listen to it as a joke.

"Qi Shilang raised an outer room in the north of the city, that is, the Xu Juan'er who came to our Zhuangzi to make trouble before, and I don't know how she got acquainted with Qi Shilang, she still has the blood of the Qi family in her stomach, Xu Qingling has been married for so long, and she has not given birth to a son and a half daughter, and now she is preempted by the woman outside, I am afraid that the nose of the anger is crooked, but there is no charm of a talented girl.

Qi's mother is not a good child, regardless of her daughter-in-law's face, as soon as she knew that Xu Juan'er was pregnant, she was eager to take her back to the house, I heard that she also had wine in Qi's house, and she had to give Xu Juan'er a name, and now the whole capital has spread all over the capital......"

Pan'er couldn't help but be speechless, holding the warm goat's milk in her hand, she drank it gently, and it took a long time to recover.

Qi Chuan wanted to take a concubine, she had heard the Lin family say it before, but she didn't expect that the candidate for this concubine room turned out to be Xu Juan'er, Lin Sanniang's mother and daughter are the masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, even if Xu Qingling is the main house and the daughter of the prime minister's house, she will not care about her reputation.

Regardless of whether Xu Juan'er is really pregnant with a child, and whether the baby can be born, Qi Chuan must have touched someone else and ruined the innocence of the girl's family, so he must be responsible, otherwise he will force Xu Juan'er to die.

The people of the capital didn't know Xu Juan'er's nature, and they were afraid that they thought she was a good person, even if Xu Qingling didn't want to, he could only pinch his nose and welcome her to the house.

Some schadenfreude smiled, Pan'er is not the kind of person who repays grievances with virtue, put the porcelain bowl in her hand on the table, she really hopes that the child in Xu Juan'er's belly can be born safely, so that the Qi Mansion will be lively.

Although there are many more people in the abandoned village now, it will not affect the business of Rong'an Fang at all, and even because the New Year is approaching, there are more customers than before.

Recently, two new foods have been added, salted duck and Songhua eggs, and Mrs. Zhao is a good one, and everything is placed in front of regular customers, so that they can taste it first and then buy it.

The price of the things sold in Rong'an Fang is not too high, but everything is very delicious, and there are almost no people who don't like to eat this bite in Beijing.

Seeing that the business of Rong'anfang is getting better and better day by day, other shops are red-eyed with jealousy, and they are thinking about stealing the secret recipe, but the reason why pickled vegetables and other foods can be made delicious is that one is relying on the spiritual spring in Pan'er's hand, and the other is that Mrs. Zhao made the powder by herself, plus the ingredients are delicious, which is much stronger than ordinary vegetables and vegetables, which can make Rong'an Fang make money every day. No matter how jealous they are, they can't do anything about it.

Mrs. Zhao sent this year's account book to the waste village, Pan'er glanced at it, and thought that there was so much silver stored in the bank, she couldn't stop smiling.

At night, Chu Liang finally went back to the small courtyard, lying on the couch with his little daughter-in-law in his arms, his handsome face was flushed, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing the man's appearance, Pan'er thought that Chu Liang had relapsed from an old injury, her little face turned pale in an instant, she took his hand, and said in a panic: "Is there something uncomfortable?" ”

"It's not." Holding the little daughter-in-law's hand, Chu Liang showed a strange look on his face, and said in a sullen voice: "Rong'an Fang has been open for such a long time, and there is probably some silver, and the military expenditure has been consumed very fast recently, I ...... Alas! ”

Hearing this, Pan'er sat up directly, stepped on embroidered shoes and walked to the front of the wooden cabinet, rummaged through the drawers, and finally found the account book sent by Mrs. Zhao.

Picked the wick with a hairpin, the room was a lot brighter, Pan'er sat on a round stool with a coat, turned out the income of Rong'an Fang this year, there were 100,000 taels of silver, and walked to the bed with the account book to show Chu Liang, the man saw the bright numbers, and his thick eyebrows were still tightly twisted.

Pan'er asked, "Isn't 100,000 taels enough?" ”

"Your Majesty has cut off the military salary, there are 50,000 soldiers without rice to cook, 100,000 taels of silver seems to be a lot, if they all change the food, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive even three months."

Chu Liang was busy during this time, just to worry about the military salary, Zhao Wangfu was surrounded by water, even if the prince had silver money in his hand, but could not send it to the barracks, Chu Liang could not watch his soldiers starve to death, so he led people to go around to suppress the bandits' dens, and sold the gold and silver treasures hidden by those bandits, and exchanged them for food and distributed them to his soldiers.

100,000 taels of silver is indeed a lot for ordinary people, but for 50,000 soldiers in the prime of life, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Chu Liang originally didn't plan to spit on his little daughter-in-law about this matter, but at this moment, seeing Pan'er's little face wrinkled, he couldn't bear it for a while, and said:

"Grandfather should still have some silver there, if he really can't do it, he will sell all the fields and properties of the Hou Mansion in the suburbs of Beijing, and exchange some grain with the rice shop owner in the capital to come back."

Pan'er nodded, and couldn't think of any other way.

Although a lot of grain can be grown in the abandoned village, the grain is already growing slowly, and now it is freezing outside, where can there be a harvest?

The big palm patted the slender back of the little daughter-in-law, and Chu Liang said in a low voice: "It's not early, let's rest early." ”

After waking up, Pan'er reached out and touched the already cold futon, knowing that the man was afraid that he would have left a long time ago.

There was something hidden in her heart, she was in a trance all day, even the Ling family saw a little bit, hugged her grandson by herself, went to sit at the table, and read a thousand words to Xiaobao.

Ge Zhichuan has always lived in Zhuangzi, and the matter of the imperial court cutting off military salaries must not be able to hide from him.

At noon, Ge Zhichuan and the old marquis came out of the cellar, one of them carried a jar of wine in his hand, and his face was flushed, and he happened to meet Pan'er.

Ge Zhichuan saw her sad face, so he guessed that his wife was worried about the military salary, so he said:

"Madame, don't worry too much, the 100,000 taels of silver you gave to the general have solved the urgent need of the army in the north of the city, as long as you tighten your belt and endure it until the summer, Ge will have the idea to prevent the army from starving."

"What's the idea?" Pan'er couldn't help but ask.

The old marquis couldn't see Ge Zhichuan's pretentious virtue, so he said it directly.

"Old man Ge put a lot of spring potatoes in the yard, that thing is brought to our great cause by the fan, ordinary people don't recognize, but it is a rare good thing, planted in the ground than the harvest of grain is several times better, planted in February, it can be harvested in June, and a batch of grain will be harvested at that time, although it is not as good as rice, but it is much stronger than hungry."

"That's 50,000 people!" Pan'er couldn't help but say.

"If there were only spring potatoes, Ge wouldn't dare to boast about Haikou, but isn't there a spiritual spring there in Madame? As long as a little spiritual spring is used when sowing, the growth of spring potatoes will not be bad at that time, and there are many granges in the Hou Mansion, all of which are used to sow this thing, and they can always afford those military men. ”
