After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

Su Ruanruan put the banknotes away and briefly explained to them the method of writing with onion juice and heating it to make the words appear.

By the way, the method of using white vinegar and carrot peel extract to display words is also mentioned.

Jin Yu sighed, "I have never heard of this. I wonder how Miss Su knew this method."

Su Ruanruan, "..."

She couldn't say that this was learned in later generations, and she was thinking about how to explain it.

Huo Yan touched her head and said, "He is knowledgeable and well-read. Did he tell you that?"

Although he didn't mention any names, she knew who "he" was referring to. When Mu Bai was suddenly mentioned, the smile on Su Runrun's lips froze for a moment, and then she nodded as if nothing had happened, "Yeah."

She stood up and said, "You guys chat, I'll go check the store out."

Su Ruanruan did not go to the braised meat shop. She could return to the alley that she was so familiar with with her eyes closed.

The courtyard gate was closed. She couldn't remember how many times she stood at the door, waving her arms, and watched Mu Bai go to the academy.

She touched the red bean bracelet on her wrist, and his soft whispers filled her ears.

As if something cold was blowing towards her, Su Ruanruan looked up at the sky.

The snowflakes were like cotton wool, dancing gracefully, and soon the ground was covered with white frost.

Su Ruanruan reached out to touch the coolness.

Brother Mu Bai, you said you love white and snow the most. I wonder where you are now. Is it snowing where you are?

You once promised me, "We'll get wet in the snow together, and grow old together."

But now, we can no longer keep this oath.

Feeling someone behind her, Su Ruanruan turned around and looked over. The man, like her, had a thin layer of white frost on his head.

Su Ruanruan looked up at him, her snow-white cheeks a little red from the cold.

Huo Yan looked down at her with calm eyes, "You still can't forget him."

Su Ruanruan turned her eyes away, stretched out her hand, and watched the snowflakes gradually melt at her fingertips.

After a long while, Huo Yan finally spoke, "I have sent people to escort your uncle and his family to Yiyang. They set out early this morning. They are worried about you..."

Su Ruanruan, "Yiyang?"

"Yes, it's Yiyang. General Zhao is stationed there. Do you know the identity of your cousin's wife?"

Of course Su Ruanruan didn't know.

"General Zhao was stationed in Yiyang his entire life. He accidentally saved a rich girl who fell into the water, which ruined her reputation. In the end, he had no choice but to marry her."

"The two of them treated each other with respect for five years, but in the end he fell in love with the general's wife's personal maid. The Zhao family's ancestral precepts forbid taking concubines. The maid didn't want to embarrass the general, but also knew she was being unfair to her mistress, so she left home pregnant."

"Later, the general's wife became ill and passed away, and her only daughter married someone far away."

"He has been looking for them for the past few years."

"You mean... my cousin's wife is General Zhao's daughter? Her mother is that maid?"

Huo Yan said, "Exactly. I saw her when I was a child. When you and your uncle broke off the engagement in that village, I saw her from afar. Although it has been a long time, I still think she looks like her."

"A few days ago, I went to the village and asked her in person, and it was indeed her."

Su Ruanruan smiled, "That's good, my uncle's family will have someone to rely on."

Huo Yan pulled her into his arms and said, "It's better if they leave. At least you won't fall victim to Chu Ran's murder. I promised them that I would take care of you."

"Also, you should fulfill your promise to me."

"Okay." Su Ruanruan smiled bitterly.

That night, a sedan chair was sent from the tofu shop to Huo Yan's home.

Su Ruanruan was sitting on the bed in a peach pink dress, while in the main room came the sounds of Huo Yan and the other three playing around.

Zi Wu stood aside, feeling very lost. She could never have imagined that her master and Master Mu Bai would end up like this.

Although the master has no family background, her appearance and knowledge are in no way inferior to those young ladies from aristocratic families.

Why did she end up being someone's concubine?

Su Ruanruan couldn't help laughing when she saw her indignation, not knowing whether it was to comfort herself or Ziwu.

"So what if I become a concubine? It's just a way to save my life."

When Huo Yan gets married, she will be free.

By then, she should have been able to protect herself.

Ziwu didn't know all this.

Su Ruanruan asked, "How did the incident at the braised meat shop today end?"

Ziwu, "Everyone who came to the store was refunded their copper coins. Some people who couldn't come up with a pattern were taken away by the government officials when they made a fuss."

"only……"

"Just what?" Su Ruanruan asked.

"But those coolies returned all the papers to the store and left without asking for any coins. They also said they were too embarrassed to take advantage of the bargain..."

Su Ruanruan was not surprised at all. She had gone to their place to sell steamed buns before when she dressed up as Su He.

Although they do heavy work, they are a united group of people who are righteous and help each other, and are not a group of scattered people.

The original intention of the braised meat shop was not to make money. She just wanted to use it to do good deeds, as a way to accumulate virtue for Xiaoxi, and hope that he would live happily in the next life.

Since some people don't cherish it, she will give this blessing to those who cherish it.

"Starting tomorrow, the food will be sent directly to the coolie market in the south by cart. We will no longer give out paper. We will lower the price by two cents and only sell it to them. If anyone else comes to buy, we will not sell it to them."

"We only cook one meal a day, and change the menu every three days. If there is any leftover food, we give it to the old and young beggars on the street. Don't waste it."

"Master, how can we make money like this?"

Su Ruanruan looked into the distance and said, "It doesn't matter if I don't make this little money. I didn't expect to make anything from it anyway."

"Now, you just need to manage the hot pot restaurant and the tofu shop. It's better to pick a few smart guys from the waiters to lead them. This place will be handed over to them sooner or later. You don't have to go to the tofu shop every day. Just pick a reliable waiter to look after it. Sooner or later, I will take you away."

Zi Wu, "Take this servant away? Where to?"

Su Ruanruan fiddled with the teacup in front of her, "I'm not interested in this, there is a wider world outside."

Changing the subject, Su Ruanruan looked outside and said, "For example, Beijing."

Now that she has Huo Yan's protection, she can also go and take a look at the capital city.

Ziwu never thought that his master actually wanted to develop in the capital.

When she was very young, she heard her father describe the prosperity of the capital city to her, but unfortunately she never had the chance to see it.

But my master is already someone else's concubine, how can she go to the capital?

"You should go back soon. I don't need you to guard my place."

There is no need to drink the wedding wine, and there is no need to lift the veil.

After sending the purple mist away, Su Runrun waited for a long time but Huo Yan didn't come in.

I felt sleepy, so I went to bed first.

While I was in a daze, someone grabbed me from behind.

There was a tingling sensation on the earlobes, and a strong smell of alcohol penetrated into the nose.

"You are finally mine."

It was a stormy night and the red candles were flickering.

In the morning, the whole courtyard became a world of snow.

Su Ruanruan shrank into the quilt, not wanting to move a finger. She had never seen such a ferocious man.

If she were his prey, she would be eaten alive by him.

My body is very tired, but my mind is very clear.

Huo Yan, who had just finished practicing sword skills in the yard, came in and saw her looking at him with her eyes open.

The beautiful face was rosy, the skin was white as fat, and the almond-shaped eyes were slightly red, showing the traces of crying last night.
