Then he asked, "His sister-in-law came, why didn't his brother come?" ”

Jiang Manchu said: "Don't mention this, my niece's brother-in-law is also gone." ”

Fei Shi was stunned: "Then there are two sisters-in-law and brother-in-law in his family?" Well, okay, in the future, Yuan Niang has a child, and his sister-in-law will help bring it, and the child will be able to support her in the future......

Jiang Liniang listened to it with black lines all over her head - mother!

That's the Emperor and the Queen Mother!

You should be sitting on the kang and saying, "What about the neighbor's three aunts!"

Thanks to her brother calling her back, otherwise if her father and mother had met Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yuanzhang and his sister-in-law, Jiang Liniang, in this state, they wouldn't have dared to imagine what development would happen in the future!

Jiang Liniang entered the front hall without a mouth, and when Fei saw her daughter, she stopped: "Didn't you meet your sister on the road?" She was taking inventory and saying to come back later. ”

Jiang Liniang shook her head.

Over there, Jiang Ning came over with a hot meal, and also asked, "Hasn't Yuan Niang come back yet?" ”

He wiped his hands and said, "I'll go out and greet you." ”

“…… You stand there for me! ”

Jiang Liniang was trembling, but also a little majestic, and stepped forward to slap the table: "While my sister hasn't come back yet, I have something to say!" ”

……

The guy in the store drove Yuan Niang back, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the rest of the family sitting around the dining table.

Yuan Niang was stunned: "What's the matter, what do you see me doing?" Didn't you say that you should eat first? ”

Fei: "......"

The rest: "......"

Non-stills.

Yuan Niang was a little confused: "Is something wrong?" ”

Fei Shi suddenly called out in a fluttering voice: "Yuan Niang." ”

Yuan Niang: "Huh? ”

Fei: "How did you know the emperor?" ”

Yuan Niang was stunned at first, and then came to her senses: "Hey, you know." ”

She washed her hands, sat down at the dining table, touched the chopsticks and held them in her hands, looked at the circle of people staring at her, and said slowly: "I met ...... when I went to the city to sell tofu brains."

That was last year.

Liniang was sick, and she was the only one who went out of the stall, and she wanted to make more money, so she added some more weight to the flat shoulder.

But she overestimated herself too much, and walked to the gate of the city with her burden, but she stepped on something under her feet, and her body lost its center of gravity.

At that time, Yuan Niang knew that it was not good, but at this time, someone rode past her, and finally made the shoe in mid-air fall to the ground.

She fell to the ground.

The two baskets of tofu brains were shattered and flowed to the ground.

There are so many people coming and going at the city gate, even if she has been sharpened by life early, she also feels embarrassed at this time, and she feels sorry for those two baskets of tofu brains.

After a tiring and tiring life, in the end it was all empty.

Yuan Niang sat up.

My foot seems to be twisted, and it hurts a little, but it shouldn't matter.

She straightened the pole and the basket again.

A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes half-squatted down, looked at her sideways, and asked her a little strangely, "Why didn't you cry?" ”

It was the young man who had just passed her on horseback.

He had a horse, and his clothes did not look like those of a plain-headed man.

In short, it's someone Yuan Niang can't afford to mess with.

She sighed and said, "It's no use crying. ”

He suddenly laughed, and after laughing, he went to the messenger guarding the city gate to ask for cleaning tools, and cleaned up the surrounding area with her.

Then he said to her, "I'm sorry I bumped into you." As an apology, I invite you to eat persimmons, right? ”

Yuan Niang didn't expect to get an apology.

Especially when she herself actually knew that she was about to fall, and it had nothing to do with the other party's insignificant push.

Her face softened, her eyes swept over the young man, and then she glanced at the horse he was tethered to by the city gate: "Where is the persimmon?" ”

The young man said, "I'm going to pick it, are you going to pick it?" There's a lot of it in the garden, and you can't sell it anyway...... Hey, what are you picking? ”

Yuan Niang told him: "It's a delicious tofu brain, only our family can make it." ”

The young man continued: "Since you can't sell tofu brains, why don't you go and pick two baskets of persimmons and sell them?" Are you okay with your feet? ”

He wasn't actually very handsome, but he was upright enough, his eyes were bright, and he was very sincere and honest when he looked at people.

Yuan Niang couldn't help but avoid his gaze: "It's nothing." Is the persimmon picking place far from here? ”

The young man told her to get on the horse, and he carried the burden and the reins: "It is not far, a few miles out of the city." ”

Yuan Niang followed him out of the city, went to a certain garden, picked two baskets full of persimmons, and asked him to help him go to Liushi and sell the two baskets of persimmons.

I make a lot more money than selling tofu brains.

As the sun sets, it's time to part.

Yuan Niang opened the money box: "Half of the money from selling persimmons will be shared with you." ”

The young man shook his head: "I said that it was to make amends, how can I ask for it?" ”

Yuan Niang insisted on giving, but he resolutely didn't.

After a stalemate for a long time, he sat on horseback, scratched his head with his knuckles, and asked, "Is your tofu brain expensive?" Will I be able to eat for nothing in the future? ”

Yuan Niang pursed her lips and smiled softly, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on her face.

She nodded slightly, "Yes." ”

……

Jiang Liniang listened to her cousin say that after her acquaintance with the emperor, she felt like watching a rural innocent movie, Tofu Brain Love.

When it was time to sleep, he quietly asked Yuan Niang: "Sister, are you afraid?" I'm going to marry into the palace and ......."

If she changes places, she wants to marry into the first family and become the first lady, not to mention such an ancient society, even in modern times, she is very generous!

Yuan Niang was very calm: "What is there to be afraid of? If you don't marry in the palace, you have to marry in the village, in this case, isn't it a good thing to marry someone who knows the roots, and you can also get a wealth and prosperity?

Jiang Liniang realized the rarity of her cousin very much.

She whispered, "Aren't you worried that you won't be able to adapt?" Whether it's the habits of life or the rules and regulations in the palace......"

Yuan Niang's tone was a little happy: "So everyone reads well—have you forgotten what the sage said?" 'Even if such a person has not studied, I say that he has studied', and if the sage still talks like this, what strange things can others say? ”

In the dark, she held her sister's hand and whispered, "Liniang, I'm real...... I really like him, and I care about him, because I know that he treats me the same way I treat him. ”

"After I got along with him, he never said that he wanted to help the Jiang family, and after he became the emperor, he did not rush to publicize the affairs between me and him, but asked the teacher to accept us as disciples and teach us knowledge, compared to the queen's throne, his heart is the most precious."

"If he doesn't think that I am just a peasant girl from humble background and treats me as a wife, then I will not just regard him as an emperor, but as a husband who wants to spend my life with me through thick and thin......

Jiang Liniang has always boasted of being smart, thinking that among the three juniors of the Jiang family, she is clever, and although her cousin is also smart, her intelligence is mixed with a bit of simplicity that is almost loyal, which neutralizes that intelligence.

However, looking back today, the difference between her and her cousin is precisely between intelligence and wisdom.

……

When Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to visit, Jiang Ning and his son took leave from Shaofu early, and with Shi Yun's face and his diligence, Shangguan happily approved it.

Yuan Niang, on the other hand, confessed to the guys in the store a day in advance, and she and her uncle Fei Shi ran the banquet at home.

Jiang Liniang went to Shi's house and asked Shi Yun and his wife to come and accompany her.

Mrs. He also asked, "Do you want to bring some servant meals with you?" I was in a hurry, and I was afraid that I would not be able to prepare in time. ”

Jiang Liniang said: "My sister said, it's not that people don't know what kind of people we are, so if we have to slap our swollen faces and become fat, we look nondescript, and we do it with all our hearts." ”

Mrs. He was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then bowed her head, and thought deeply: "Yuan Niang is open-minded." ”

When Shi Yun and his wife arrived at Jiang's house, Jiang Manchu had never sat so close to the Confucian scholar in his life, and after stammering a few words, he couldn't stand it anymore, called Jiang Ning to accompany him, and went into the kitchen to cook.

In the countryside, there is no rule that those gentlemen cook far away, and when his wife is not idle, he has to cook the food at home.

Fei went to the market early to buy fresh fish and meat, and Yuan Niang went to get wine.

When I poured a spoonful into the fish, the fragrance was instantly stimulated, and without the guests tasting it, Fei Shi was so beautiful that he smacked his lips: "The emperor has never eaten such a good fish!" ”

By the time Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Dowager Dou arrived outside Jiang's house, the meal was almost ready.

Since the Empress Dowager Dou was beaten out of her mother's womb, this was the first time she had entered such a small house, and it was also the first time she had seen a family without a servant.

The Jiang family is also the first time to receive guests with such high status.

That's the emperor and the queen mother!

Can you treat it like an ordinary in-law?

Fortunately, one side is simple, the other side is amiable, and there are Shi Yun and his wife in the middle of the lubrication, wine and food are served, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious, which can be called the joy of the guests and hosts.

Jiang Liniang sat at the bottom of Mrs. He, and secretly looked at the Empress Dowager Dou who was sitting at the top by drinking.

This is the highest-status woman she has ever seen since she crossed over.

In terms of appearance, the Empress Dowager Dou is not stunning, and because she is widowed, she does not dress up gorgeously, but her demeanor is dignified and elegant, and she is really graceful and elegant, which is very different from others.

Yes, too.

Jiang Liniang thought to herself: This is Mrs. Liang's daughter!

Today's wine was indeed a good wine, and she drank a few glasses, and in the second half of the feast, she could not help but feel a little drunk.

After the guests were gone, the rest of the Jiang family rolled up their sleeves and cleaned up the cups, but Jiang Liniang was drunk and soft, lying on the table motionless.

Fei Shi kicked the drunk cat aside with a disgusted face, and suddenly remembered something, and asked Yuan Niang: "What did you say to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother at that time?" How can I see her wiping her tears? Hey, don't really say it, everyone who comes out of the scholarly door is different, and it looks good to cry, wipe your tears with a handkerchief, not like us, just wipe it with your sleeve and it's over......"
