The two of them were about to enter the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion, only to see a group of people blocking the door, some of these people had a basket in the crook of their arms, which contained either eggs, or sweet potatoes, or some lychees...... Some of them carried cloth bags with what appeared to be some rice, or peanuts, or chestnuts or something like that. There are also www.biquge.info pen "fun" pavilions, holding a chicken, or a duck or a goose in their hands.

They were stopped outside the door by two sergeants guarding the door, and they were not allowed to go in, seeing their anxious appearances, Nan Jian scolded in his heart:

"What a hateful general soldier, these must have done something at his hands, and now he thinks that what they have brought is slight, so he blocks them from the door, alas!

Seeing them coming with their burdens, the two sergeants politely asked:

"Two guest officers, but are they from the tofu shop on the other side of the heavens and earths?"

"Yes, two military masters!" Yang Ziyan smiled at them and said, "Lord Commander, let's send some tofu over!"

"Got it, our lord has already sent someone to explain!" said one of the older sergeants, in his forties, with a sincere smile, "Please two inside!"

So they were about to go when suddenly the sergeant said:

"Two guest officers, the kitchen of the chief soldier, go in from here, walk along the road on the right against the courtyard wall, until you reach a small stone bridge, don't cross the bridge, and then follow the stream, walk through two small gardens, and see a row of chimneys!"

"Okay, thank you!" Nanjian said.

Walking into the courtyard, they found that the space inside was indeed very large, and a magnificent building was the General Military Palace; its stone steps were wide and long, the stone pillars were thick and high, and the stone lions on both sides were majestic and majestic, as if they really had the ferocity of sucking blood and grinding their teeth, and they were eyeing everyone who came in and out.

Around the building, the trees are towering, the flowers and plants are shaded, and a natural and fresh smell of flowers and trees comes to the face, but everyone who enters and leaves here is very light, like those birds that look up and jump away, moving quickly, but not chaotic.

They followed the path indicated by the doorman and walked along the road on the right against the courtyard wall, and in a short time they met five men and women who were talking and laughing. Some of them carried empty baskets, some twisted empty cloth bags into a roll and held them in their hands, and some of them were empty-handed, talking and laughing, all the way.

Among them, an elderly woman said:

"My old man said, he doesn't want it today, tomorrow he will go to our house, and we will ignore him!"

"Not really!" said another young woman, who had a floral apron around her waist, giggling, "no matter how many things there are, it's also our heart!"

"But also," said the last skinny middle-aged man with wrinkles on his forehead, "and there are enough things in his kitchen, so how can they finish eating!"

"You don't have to worry about that," said the young woman with a smile just now, "they have so many sergeants in their house, and one person is too little!"

Hearing this, the two of them were about to pass by them, but Nan Jian muttered in his heart:

"What a dog official, even a sweet potato, half a bag of rations has to squeeze the people, how can people live!"

Therefore, he stopped abruptly, and asked the old woman who had spoken in a kind way:

"Grandma, how do you get to the kitchen of the chief soldier's house?"

So, the gang all stopped, and everyone rushed to point fingers and say:

"Go all the way from this road, and when you see the bridge over there, don't go over it, just follow the path by the stream, and then go through two small gardens, and you will see the row of white-walled houses with chimneys!"

"Okay, thank you!" Nanjian said.

"What are you sending?" asked the young woman with a smile.

"Let's send some tofu, sister-in-law. Yang Ziyan immediately said with a smile.

"Is it for sale or for gift?" asked the young woman again.

"Selling. ”

"Hey, he likes tofu," said the young woman in surprise, "and I'll make him some fresh and good tofu next time!"

Hearing this, Nan Jian was puzzled! Therefore, he hurriedly asked them:

"Sister-in-law, are you giving this for free to the chief soldier?"

"What do you say!," said the young woman, who became more and more energetic as she spoke, and said with a smile, "we really want to give the adult some of our own specialties to taste, but he insists on stuffing some money with us, and we are also kind!"

"Oh, I see!" Nanjian said, "Okay, thank you!"

At this moment, both of them muttered, and Yang Ziyan suddenly said while walking:

"Brother Nanjian, have you noticed it, this chief soldier Lord Yankui seems to be a little weird!"

"Well, it's a good idea. Nan Jian nodded and said, "Such a person is called an old fox, with a deep tail hidden and not easy to be discovered!"

"Yes!" Yang Ziyan sighed, "Who would have thought that he was a murderous demon back then!"

At this moment they had come to the little bridge, and so they went along the brook, and when they reached the first garden, they heard a laugh from inside, and it seemed that a group of men were playing in it.

When he entered the courtyard gate, he suddenly saw an object whistling towards him; Nan Jian was taken aback, and he didn't want to think about it, so he stretched out his hand and copied it, and then took it in his hand! Immediately, a young man came up with a smile and clapped his hands, and said:

"Brother Tai is so skilled, I really didn't expect this ball to be caught by you!" As he spoke, he stepped forward, arched his hand towards the two Nanjian, and said politely:

"In Xia Yanqing, dare to ask Brother Tai and the girl's honorable name!"

"Nanjian. ”

"My name is Yang Ziyan. ”

"Oh, the two of you must have brought vegetables to the back kitchen," Yanqing said again, "I won't delay you, when we come out later, can Brother Nan and Miss Yang play squatting with us for a while!"

"Yes, brother, let's play together," said several sweaty youths in the field, who were also smiling at them, "the more people there are, the more interesting it is!"

"For now, let's send things in!" Nan Jian said, "Brothers, you play!"

Farewell to these young people, Nan Jian actually laughed and said:

"He's Yeonkyu's son!"

"Yes!" Yang Ziyan said, "I didn't expect that he is a very easy-going person!"

Nan Jian nodded silently, but did not speak.

When the refuge of the General Soldier's House arrived, a woman in her thirties and a girl of seventeen or eighteen, dressed nobly, and with a quiet countenance, were talking, and the girl stood with one foot on the next step, and the other on the upper stone, facing a woman in a white apron around her waist, leaning against the doorframe, and another woman crouching on the ground, facing the door, talking with a celery leaf at the same time.

Seeing Nan Jian and Yang Ziyan coming over with tofu, the girl immediately turned around, walked down the stone steps and said to them with a smile:

"Thank you two, it's a blessing! Is it the tofu that we ordered from Steward Cao?"

"Yes," said Nanjian, "what is the girl's name, can I leave it to you to see?"

"Yes, she's the eldest lady of our family!" Immediately, the round-faced woman who was squatting on the ground and pinching the celery leaves stood up with a smile and said, and let Nanjian pick up the tofu burden.

When I went inside, I saw that the kitchen was large and steaming, and there were five or six cooks busy around the stove, and the smell of dishes came to my nose. As soon as the burden was put down, the woman with the white apron at her waist brought two cups of hot tea, handed them to each of them and said with a smile:

"The two guest officers are fortunate, drink a cup of tea to quench their thirst, I am the head chef here, have you ever paid for the tofu Qian Cao?"

"It's paid!" Ms. Yang said.

"Oh!" said the woman, "in the future, we will be more fortunate for the girl and the son, our house has a large population, and we need ten plates of tofu every day, I wonder if you are willing to send it?"

"No problem!" Nanjian said immediately.

"Your tofu is very well done, the whole Qujing is a sensation!" Miss Yan walked over and said to them kindly, "Can I go to your workshop to have a look?"

"Yes," Yang Ziyan said with a smile, "However, the workshop is very messy, so I'm afraid of soiling the eldest lady's skirt!"

"That's okay!" Yan Qian said with a smile, "Sister, you are not afraid of being busy in there every day, I am still afraid of getting dirty clothes!"

"Yes, our Miss Yan is very easy-going," said the woman with an apron around her waist, "she is enthusiastic, active, curious about everything, and eager to learn!"

"Then it's decided!" Yan Qian said excitedly, "I'll come to play with you in the afternoon-sister, what's your name?"

"My name is Yang Ziyan. ”

"What about you, big brother?" she asked enthusiastically towards Nan Jian again.

"Nanjian. ”

They came out of the kitchen, and Yan Qian insisted on putting two large watermelons in the basket where they had placed the stones. However, when they reached the gate of the garden, they were greeted by Yanqing and a few partners, who insisted on pulling Nanjian to the field, and they asked him for a kickball.
