The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

Jiang Tunan sat in the pavilion, looking at the scenery around her, and suddenly she was full of fighting spirit. Although the Western medical knowledge she learned in modern times was not very useful in ancient times, with what she had seen in modern times, she could not live as well as a fish in water in ancient times, but she would not live too badly.

Come on! Jiang Xiaokui! You are the best!

This situation made her suddenly want to sing a song!

"Listen! The horn of a new journey is blowing! The goal of building a strong army is calling us ahead! If the country wants to be strong, we must take responsibility! The battle flag is filled with iron-blooded glory!"

Xiao Mingrui was walking up the stairs at this moment, and he staggered when he was frightened by Jiang Tunan's shout.

Xiao Mingli, who followed behind him, said: Where is the cow mooing?

"This servant greets the Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Master."

Chunhua bowed hurriedly, not daring to look at the visitor. Miss, you have really lost face today.

"I didn't expect that cousin Jiang also has some knowledge of music?"

Xiao Mingrui said with a wry smile, and he was more and more certain that this woman must be extraordinary. What she just sang seemed to be... a military song? But he had never heard of such a military song in the Daxing military camp.

"I understand a little bit."

Jiang Tunan's toes were digging into the ground, which was really embarrassing, especially since she had just broken her voice.

"I never thought that Cousin Jiang could learn so much even though she couldn't read. Could it be that someone taught her?"

Xiao Mingrui continued to put on a fake smile, while Xiao Mingli also smiled but did not say anything.

"Yes, I had a master when I was young, and he taught me many things."

Good boy, test her?

"Is it the strange man from a foreign country that you mentioned?"

At this time, Xiao Mingli spoke first. He was very interested in the strange man that Jiang Tunan mentioned.

"Exactly."

"I wonder what he taught you?"

Xiao Mingrui still had doubts in his heart.

"Master's secrets, young man, stop asking!"

Jiang Tunan: Damn it! His mouth is faster than his brain. One of these two people might be the male lead! He is the invincible and unkillable male lead!

"Mingrui, if cousin Jiang doesn't want to talk, don't force her."

Xiao Mingli patted Xiao Mingrui on the shoulder.

"Second Young Master, Fourth Young Master, why are you here?"

At this time, Nanny Jin led people and carried food boxes to Diecui Pavilion. Before she got close, she saw the two young masters of the Xiao Mansion and the cousin together. Her mother, her grandmother, her cotton pants and her jacket, why are these two young masters here? If the lady knew that the cousin met the two young masters, she would probably think too much, and when she was blamed, she would be the first to suffer.

"Mingrui and I wanted to come here to have some quiet time, but we didn't expect Cousin Jiang to be here too. What's this, Madam?"

Xiao Mingli looked at the food box held in the hands of the maid behind Nanny Jin.

"This is the lunch prepared for my cousin. Since my cousin is not feeling well, she will eat directly in the Diecui Pavilion."

Jiang Tunan glanced behind Nanny Jin secretly. There were actually three dishes today. It really was different being a cousin.

"Since cousin is going to have a meal, we won't disturb you."

"No, no, how can it be a bother? Why don't you eat something before leaving? There are three dishes."

Jiang Tunan is polite almost instinctively; it is ingrained in the DNA of the Chinese people.

"Okay, then eat something."

Jiang Tunan:?

Xiao Mingli:?

Nanny Jin:?

Xiao Mingrui ignored the confused or shocked looks from others and sat down.

"Mammy, serve the food."

Xiao Mingli coughed a few times to cover up his smile, then sat down with Xiao Mingrui. Jiang Tunan had no choice but to sit down as well.

I was so nervous. After being alone in the modern world for more than 20 years, I didn't expect that on the second day after I traveled through the book, two handsome men would accompany me for dinner.

Jiang Tunan ignored Nanny Jin's twitching eyes as she winked at him wildly, and focused on watching Chunhua open the lid of the food box and bring out the dishes.

The first dish is stir-fried broccoli with mushrooms.

Not bad, not bad, broccoli is rich in fiber and vitamin K, which helps promote digestion and improve blood circulation.

health!

The second dish is winter melon soup.

Winter melon soup is light and delicious, rich in nutritional value, containing protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, and has the effect of clearing heat and reducing phlegm.

Health!

With the third dish, Jiang Tunan felt her heart beating a little faster. Most of the last dishes were hard dishes, and then she looked carefully... wolfberry and barley porridge.

It’s not as good as yesterday. At least there was meat yesterday.

Speechless.

Xiao Mingrui looked at the "exquisite" dishes and silently put down his chopsticks.

Xiao Mingrui: It’s so funny. This food is not enough for three mouthfuls of me.

Jiang Tunan: It’s so funny, do you think I have enough to eat?

"Mammy, has anything happened in the Xiao Mansion recently?"

I can't even afford meat.

"Ahem, cousin Jiang is not in good health, so the food should not be too greasy, but light."

As if seeing through Jiang Tunan's thoughts, Xiao Mingli began to explain, but the meal was indeed too "simple".

Jiang Tunan rolled her eyes silently. She was already too weak due to malnutrition. If she didn't eat any meat, she would really die. Can you treat your illness scientifically?

Jiang Tunan was full of dissatisfaction and said,

"Cousin Mingli, you are right."

Regardless of whether he is the male protagonist or not, his identity is there, and I am not the female protagonist, so why should I attract his attention? I should be a transparent NPC and survive until the end.

Jiang Tunan plucked up his courage, picked up his chopsticks, and prepared to start eating.

"Eat, eat, everyone, don't be polite, just treat it like your own home."

Jiang Tunan slapped himself madly in his heart. What was she saying? She asked others to treat her home as their own. She was really something.

Looking at the lunch on the table, Jiang Tunan couldn't help but look at Jin Mama with resentment. Jin Mama looked up at the sky as if she didn't see anything.

Nanny Jin: Hey, the sky is so blue!

Xiao Mingli and Xiao Mingrui did not move their chopsticks, but Jiang Tunan used chopsticks to create an afterimage.

Jiang Tunan: There isn’t enough food to begin with, and these two seem to be big eaters. If we don’t hurry up, there will be no soup left.

Xiao Mingli was a little dazed. Looking at Jiang Tunan wolfing down the food, it seemed that the Xiao family was really running out of money.

Xiao Mingrui frowned as he watched this scene. He had never seen a woman with such rude eating manners. It seemed that his mother had made the right choice by asking Nanny Jin to teach Jiang Tunan.

"I heard that my cousin has lived in the countryside since she was a child. I just happened to have some questions and would like to ask her for answers."

Xiao Mingrui played with the teacup in his hand and looked at Jiang Tunan intently.

"Ah I?"

Jiang Tunan pointed at herself, and her mind was filled with Aba Aba.

"Recently, I heard a few riddles about crops in the field from my classmates. Unfortunately, I know very little about the things in the field, but I think my cousin should know a lot about it, so I came to ask for advice."

Xiao Mingrui spoke slowly and appeared to be humbly seeking advice.

"Cousin, please speak."

Isn't it just a guessing game? Jiang Tunan often worked in the fields with her grandfather when she was young. She knows some common crops. Besides, there are definitely not as many varieties of crops in ancient times as there are in modern times. It shouldn't be difficult for her to guess. Xiao Mingrui was used to a life of luxury, so he couldn't guess it.

"There are roots but no ground, and there are leaves but no flowers."

“These are bean sprouts.”

It’s so simple, it’s done in seconds.

"The roots pull the vines, the vines pull the melons, and yellow flowers bloom in the clouds for half a day."

“Luffa.”

When Jiang Tunan was a child, her family planted loofahs. Before the loofahs bear fruit, they will bloom yellow flowers. At that time, she liked to stand in front of the loofah rack and count the little yellow flowers one by one.

Those little yellow flowers eventually grew into green melons; each melon held up the hope of a family and allowed her to leave the mountains.

"I didn't expect it to be a loofah. I really didn't expect it. Before this, I didn't know that the loofahs bloom yellow flowers before they bear fruit."

His thoughts were recalled, and a layer of inexplicable sadness covered his heart. Jiang Tunan no longer had the mood to joke, and said lightly,

"My cousin was born into a noble family and has never lacked food and clothing since he was a child. It is normal that he does not know much about farming."

Seeing that Xiao Mingrui had lost interest in chatting, Xiao Mingli spoke at the right time.

"We've almost finished chatting. Mingrui and I have something important to discuss, so I'll take my leave now."

Jiang Tunan nodded and said goodbye to Xiao Mingli and Xiao Mingrui.

After leaving Diecui Pavilion for some distance, Xiao Mingli asked,

"Well, you can rest assured now. She is just an ordinary farm girl."

Xiao Mingrui did not answer, but continued to walk forward. Xiao Mingli seemed to be used to him and continued to tease him.

"You are just too cautious."

Xiao Mingrui stopped and couldn't tell what emotion was in his eyes.

"These are troubled times. I just don't want what happened fifteen years ago to happen to us again."

Xiao Mingli fell silent after hearing this. After all, fifteen years ago, that incident had caused a lot of blood and gore.

"It's always good to be careful."

Xiao Mingrui turned around and looked at Xiao Mingli. The situation in the court was unpredictable and no one knew what would happen next. Perhaps the family was honored today, but their property would be confiscated and they would be executed tomorrow.

"That's right, what did you find?"

Xiao Mingrui's mind suddenly flashed the image of the girl sitting in the pavilion, talking eloquently about "Instead of supporting him in his lofty ambitions, it is better to prove my worth."

"Not yet. If she has a problem, it will be exposed over time."
