general lady

Chapter 48

Ordinary beans can no longer be ordinary, but after processing, they can become tender and refreshing tofu, without any beany smell, leaving only the purest fragrance of beans, even those who don't like the taste of beans, can eat various A side dish, made from a dish.

Especially in such a cold day, a dish made of warm tofu, such a novelty, no matter what else, at least most people will choose to accept it.

The second morning when the finished tofu was sent out, the guy sent by Zheng Yanfeng took out a bag of money and a letter.

It was Wang Zeng who delivered the tofu, and he handed over the money and the letter to Su Wan.

After busy these days, the yard next door already has a routine. Wang Zeng filters the soy milk, Wang Da and Wang Er push the mill, Ah Wu lights the fire, Su Wan is only in charge of lighting the plaster, and the finished tofu will be placed in a bucket filled with soy milk.In such a cold weather, the tofu can be kept for several days after it is made.

Ah Chou lay beside the charcoal basin, Su Wan put her feet on it, threw the money aside, and opened the sealed letter.

Song Tusu held a volume of books in his hand, and looked quite serious, but Su Wan just went over to read it, and she seemed to hold it upside down.Ling'er was sitting on a small couch and was helping Su Wan sew a purse. Her hands were very dexterous, much better than Su Wan's.

"Five to five points, we have 210 taels. As expected of Zheng Yanfeng." Su Wan put down the letter, went to get the bag containing the money, looked around, and said with a smile, "Now I have money."

Except for the brief text, most of the letters are simple bookkeeping, so Su Wan found a separate account book and copied them down.

After finishing her work, she put the ledger under the pillow. Su Wan stretched her waist and felt uncomfortable, so she turned her head to look at it before realizing it.Ling'er lowered her head and smiled, but the movements of her hands remained the same. Song Tusu was still staring at the book, as if she didn't hear her at all.

200 taels may not be a big deal to Zheng Yanfeng, nor is it to Song Tusu, but this is just the beginning. At least in the future, the business will expand. Maybe you can get 1000 or [-] taels a day, at least Su Wan There are such ambitions and fantasies.

Unable to resist, she went over to lie on Song Tusu's back, and Su Wan pointed to the book in her hand and asked, "What are you reading? Did you listen to me?"

"I'm thinking about the people behind Mrs. Zhang." Song Tusu said casually. Seeing Su Wan's hand drooping, he reached out to touch it, and frowned, "Why don't you stay by the charcoal basin, your hands are so cold? Be careful all the time." It's so cold, it won't grow taller."

"Who did you hear that the hands are not tall?" Su Wan pouted dissatisfiedly, and did not go along with Song Tusu's words, but said, "I have money in my hand, how about hiring someone to make a kang?"

"How many people do you need? I'll ask them to come. You don't need to invite anyone." Song Tusu put down the book and didn't mention what he just said.

Woke up early in the morning, and after returning from breakfast at Song Qiu's, Su Wan began to plan on making a kang.The tiles are all ready-made, and the bricks and stones are also simple. They can be bought directly with silver, but it is too cold, and it is best to complete the mud kang in one day. It seems that three or four people are almost the same.

"Wang Zeng and the others aren't masons?" Su Wan asked.

"There's a mason in the private soldiers." Song Tusu thought for a while and said, "When will I need it? I'll call him over."

"Let him come over when everything is ready." Su Wan said.

Not only to build a kang, but naturally more materials need to be prepared, but now that money is limited, Su Wan plans to make one in Song Tusu's yard first, and the next door yard, and then go to Song Qiu's yard to make one, and the others will come later. Do it slowly when the money is gone.

Tiles, masonry, etc. are more expensive in the capital than in other places. Fortunately, the money comes quickly, so there is no need to feel too distressed.

To buy these things, Su Wan and Song Tusu asked Song Qiu for help together. When they came out of Song Qiu’s yard, Su Wan suddenly thought of those brothers Song Tusu had mentioned. After so many days, they didn’t see any of them, and they didn’t hear anything. arrive.

This house is very, very big, and Su Wan has never finished walking it. Even so, he saw more than a dozen courtyards, not to mention the front hall, middle hall, back hall, etc. It's a pity that it is so dilapidated now. There are many spider webs.

It happened that Ling'er stayed in the yard, and there was no one around, so Su Wan asked curiously.

"Casinos, brothels, and other places where prostitutes like to go, there are them." Song Tusu said with a blank expression, "I don't see them coming back all year long. If you want to get to know each other, I'll call them back later."

"Ah..." Su Wan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "I don't want it anymore."

I always heard Song Tusu say that those brothers were ignorant and incompetent, but Su Wan didn't expect that they would not come, not even the most dandy one could imagine.

Carefully looking at Song Tusu's face, Su Wan regretted asking such a question, but then dared not speak.

After entering the courtyard, Song Tusu saw someone standing at the door, who should be one of Song Tusu's personal soldiers. She hurriedly stepped into the house, and Song Tusu beside her stopped at the door, not knowing what to say.

Fiddling with the charcoal basin, Su Wan waited for a while, then looked back, Song Tusu and his guards beside the courtyard gate had disappeared, probably went out.

Holding Ah Chou in both hands, Su Wan got up and walked to the door.

"Miss is going out?" Ling'er stood up and went to get the cloak on the hanger.

"Look next door." Su Wan said warmly.

Feeling a little depressed in my heart, I simply came out to relax.In the next yard, a room has been vacated by itself, and the kitchen is still busy. Su Wan came in and saw Ah Wu lighting the fire, Wang Da and Wang Er pushing the mill, and Wang Zeng sitting aside looking bored.

"Ah, Miss Su." Seeing Su Wan coming in, Wang Zeng stood up quickly.

"Let me take a look, have you made so many tofu?" Su Wan walked to the base of the wall and looked at the wooden barrels lined up side by side, thinking for a while, "You can take out some to make dried tofu, spicy and spiced, seasoning I’ll prepare it and send it back later.”

"Okay." Wang Zeng agreed.

After looking around, it seemed that there was nothing to do, so Su Wan had to go back.

Song Tusu hadn't come back yet, and the sky looked very cloudy outside, wondering whether it would snow or not.Thinking about it this way, Song Tusu still didn't come back in the afternoon, but it was snowing outside.

"Take the oil-paper umbrella, let's go out and wait." Su Wan was restless all afternoon, feeling her chest was inexplicably tight, so she simply waited behind the small door.After arriving behind the small door, although it was very cold, I felt much more comfortable in my heart.

There are long ice edges on the eaves, which look extremely dangerous.

Looking up, Su Wan felt a little dazed, she felt very dangerous, subconsciously stood behind the door, turned her head and said: "Ling'er, stand over."

Although she didn't understand, Ling'er still stood up obediently, breathed out, and rubbed her frozen red hands.

It was getting dark, and Su Wan was thinking that if Song Tusu didn't come back, she would go back.But just in time, the small door was pushed open, and Song Tusu came in with a cold air, with unmelted snow on his head and body.

Quickly shaking the snow on his body, he seemed to be able to see the heat seeping out of his body through the thin clothes. Song Tusu breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps inside, and suddenly turned his head to meet Su Wan's eyes.

Walking back quickly, Song Tusu reached out to touch Su Wan's face.

"So cold? How long have you been standing here?" He looked distressed.

Song Tusu's hands were warm and comfortable, Su Wan smiled, "I just came here."

"Go back to warm up." Song Tusu couldn't help but take Su Wan's hands, and walked back to the yard in an awkward posture in the snow.As soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly turned around and went out without waiting for it to warm up. After a while, he hurriedly brought food from Song Qiu's side.

After finishing dinner at the house, Su Wan never left the house.

Going to bed at night, Song Tusu suddenly said: "I can bring someone with me at any time. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the emperor may recruit me into the palace. Then you don't have to wait for me. What should you do?"

Her hands curled up under the blanket suddenly tightened, and Su Wan subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"

"I don't know yet." Song Tusu's voice was very clear in the darkness, as if it was close to his ear, "I heard it from Zheng Yanfeng's side. The emperor was resting at the imperial concubine's side, and accidentally slipped his mouth. It seems to be Baruch Sending an envoy to inquire about the existence of Basuotu, the emperor hesitated whether to let the envoy know, and asked me to enter the palace, perhaps for this reason."

Song Tusu's body is really warm, and Su Wan can't help but get closer.

After listening to her, Su Wan asked: "The people from the Ning family who went to build the city have been here for a few days, right?"

"Well, it's early, I'm afraid I know what I should know." Song Tusu sighed, "The Ning family in the capital probably also knows about Feige passing on the letter. Zheng Yanfeng told me to be more careful when I enter the palace, but how can I be careful?" Woolen cloth?"

When I first entered the base city, I didn't hide my whereabouts. Even if I disguised myself, my face was still the same, and I was a foreigner. If someone really wanted to inquire about something, the locals could easily remember it.Every now and then, as soon as the portraits come out, Song Tusu and Zheng Yanfeng will have nowhere to hide.

The original plan was very good. When the civil and military ministers knew that Basuotu had been arrested in Beijing, the emperor would reward Zheng Yanfeng and Song Tusu again.As a result, the emperor refused to let the civil and military ministers know about the existence of Basuotu, so that Zheng Yanfeng and Song Tusu could only pretend that they did not come to the capital. becomes complicated.

From the emperor's point of view, the more people involved in this matter, the better, and it would be easier for him to balance, but for Song Tusu, it was like a giant ax hanging above his head, which could be struck down at any time.

A long time ago, when she was still in the border town camp, Su Wan thought that most people who play with power are very cold-blooded, and she still can't help but wonder how many interests are involved in it, so that they participate in more and more people.

If she was just a woman who lived in the back house, if Song Tusu was a real man, maybe Su Wan would not know these things, and she was just trapped in the back house to manage her own life, but the two of them They are all very special, so that the things hidden under the beautiful curtain in the front are repeatedly displayed naked in front of Su Wan.

Lying with her back to Song Tusu, Su Wan touched the wooden sign hidden next to her body again. She always thought that maybe she was not really far away from Chaoqian, at least at this time, she really wanted to get Something, can help a group of Song Tusu.
