"While it's still early, why don't you tell me about my grandfather's family again?"

Su Hengyu suddenly spoke.

Of course, Mama Qin would not refuse, and told her the origin of the Wang family with a smile: "Our Jinyang Wang family is a big family in Taiyuan County, and its ancestors can be traced back to Ji Jin, the crown prince of Zhou Ling, and it is a big family that has gone through several dynasties without falling. Your mother is the third sister of the current head of the Wang family, and she was very much loved by the elders in the family when she was not married. ”

"Originally, your mother should not have married the prince of Zhongyong Marquis, but the first emperor took care of the military exploits of the ancestors of the Su family at that time, and specially gave your father a marriage to show the kindness of the royal family. Your mother met your father and asked to marry. ”

"Fortunately, your father has not lived up to the friendship of his wife, he has never accepted a concubine for so many years, let alone a concubine or daughter."

Mama Qin's words faintly brought out her disdain for the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, and also made Su Hengyu realize the power of the Wang family.

She was thinking at the beginning, why didn't there be anyone from her grandfather's family in Beijing, and her father, who didn't look at his wife to the bone, how could the backyard be so clean, and there was not even a concubine's room.

It turned out that he had climbed the marriage at all, and he was a person who had no real power, but only benefited from the shadow of his ancestors, so he naturally didn't dare to do something half-hearted.

Speaking of which, this Mama Qin is the person who the Wang family helped her find to manage Zhuangzi, and Su Hengyu originally thought that the Wang family would help her choose a suitable person in the capital.

Unexpectedly, she actually wrote directly to her mother's family and found such a powerful grandmother.

But doesn't the Wang family know that her daughter has been given up by the Marquis of Zhongyong?

Su Hengyu thought so, so he asked.

No, Mama Qin laughed directly when she heard this: "Miss is too worried, after the things that happened in the Hou Mansion spread to her hometown, the head of the family was angry for many days, and kept saying that the third lady and the third aunt were dizzy. You are not only the Miss of the Hou Mansion, but also the Miss of our Wang Family. ”

"The third lady has been away from home for too long, and her mind is all occupied by trivial matters at home, I am afraid that she has not read for a long time, and it is possible that she has been affected by the third aunt. But don't worry, as long as the Wang family is in one day, we are your backer. ”

Mama Qin's tone was soft, but Su Hengyu was shocked when she heard it.

It seems that the people of the Wang family actually know very well about the affairs of the Hou Mansion, and listening to the meaning of Mama Qin's words, I am afraid that they can no longer tolerate the actions of the Hou Ye and his wife, and they have the intention of beating the two of them.

However, Su Hengyu doesn't care about these, she has already left the Hou Mansion, and her tone cares about others, it is better to live her own life.

This conversation was only known to Su Hengyu and Mama Qin, and in the days that followed, she never asked about the Wang family, but threw herself into the small kitchen.

In ancient times, food was still a bit monotonous, and in this day and age, many good things such as peppers, potatoes and corn have not been passed down. Most of the people's staple food is rice and wheat, while the people at the bottom eat more bean rice.

Nowadays, the output of grain is not much, although the Great Wei Dynasty is prosperous, but because the border Xiongnu have not been destroyed, a large number of garrisons still need to be supported by the imperial court, so the taxes levied are not low.

There are no peasants who have starved to death near the capital where Su Hengyu is located now, but there are also many people who can't eat and sell themselves to work as slaves and maids in large households.

Su Hengyu is really poor, she knows what it's like to be hungry, and the feeling of wanting to grab a handful of dirt to fill her stomach is really uncomfortable. So she wants to make farm tools, and she wants to increase the production of heaven and earth.

But now it seems that this wish will be a long time away.

"Until then, let's make the tofu first." Su Hengyu muttered in a low voice.

Ziyun, who was busy in the kitchen, looked up at her: "Miss, what were you talking about just now?" ”

"Nothing." Su Hengyu shook his head, "I'm asking you to quickly ask someone to press the stone on the tofu." ”

As soon as she spoke, the others in the kitchen immediately got busy, and the cook Ru Jun and the little girl Su Er, who helped to light the fire, obediently helped.

Everyone pressed the stone mill on the freshly made tofu, and water immediately came out from under the white gauze.

Ziyun curiously approached Su Hengyu's side: "Miss, is the thing that comes out of this really as delicious as you say?" ”

In the past, people on their side only knew that beans could be cooked and eaten bean rice, but they had never heard that beans could be used to make tofu, and it was the first time they had even seen soy milk ground with a stone mill.

Even if Ziyun has great trust in Su Hengyu, he still has no bottom in his heart at this moment.

Su Hengyu only said: "You will know if it can be done later, now come over and drink a cup of soy milk first." ”

This soy milk was specially asked by Su Hengyu to stay, wanting everyone in Zhuangzi to taste it.

The two cups handed to Mama Qin and Ziyun, Su Hengyu specially asked Ru Jun to put some sugar. Sure enough, after Ziyun took a sip carefully, his two eyes instantly lit up.

Even the well-informed Mama Qin couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Miss, this soy milk is delicious!" Ziyun exclaimed in surprise.

Mama Qin also smiled and said: "The taste is very peculiar, even the fishy smell of the beans is gone, just add a little sugar to make it delicious, it is a good drink." ”

Su Hengyu is also very satisfied with the results of this attempt, although the tofu has not yet been done, but the soy milk has been successful, and it should not be too late to think of the mapo tofu she has been waiting for for a long time.

In modern times, Su Hengyu only has a soul wandering in the world, but fortunately, she can taste it, but only a little bit at a time.

It was this little bit of flavor that made her slowly forget the fear of being in another world, and then blended into that era and began to learn what was there.

Satisfied, she put down her cup and announced to the people in the kitchen, "When the tofu is ready, I'll take everyone to a tofu feast!" ”

Ziyun and a few young Li Ke cheered, and Mama Qin and Ru Jun also looked at them with smiles.

For a while, the atmosphere in the kitchen was extremely harmonious, and these people who had just come together from all over the world finally began to become close at this time.

While waiting for the tofu to take shape, the steward in charge of the manor's defense suddenly came to the mansion and said that there was something important to report to Su Hengyu.

Su Hengyu hurriedly took Mama Qin out and met with the steward He Lei:

"Master, a team of people came outside, saying that their wife was seriously ill, and if it was late today, the city gates were locked, and they wanted to borrow a room in our Zhuangzi for urgent use."

Su Hengyu asked: "Can you find out which family it is, how many men and girls are in the team?" Did you say how long you want to stay in our Zhuangzi? ”

He Lei replied one by one: "I've seen it all, there are only ten people in total, of which there are only three men, and the rest are maids, the sick one has been staying in the carriage, and he can't see clearly, they said that they are the people surnamed Xie in the city, and they came out to enjoy the plum blossoms today, but they didn't expect the housemother to suddenly relapse from the old disease." ”

"Master, do you think we should stay or not?" He Lei asked cautiously.

Su Hengyu: "Let people in, let Ziyun and the others quickly clean up a clean room for this lady, and then call Qiao Meng and a few of them over, and stay in the house." ”

In the past few days, most of the interior of the house has been repaired, and Mama Qin has led people to thoroughly clean this place more than a dozen times, and it is still possible to barely accommodate a few guests.

As long as this group of people has no malicious intentions, Su Hengyu is willing to give them a convenience, but if any of these people want to make it bad, the thirty-person escort team she specially set up is not vegetarian!
