Chapter 156 Bean sprouts storm

The gong-beating crew walked through every street in the village, and was invited by Wang Juren's housekeeper to have tea to read the full text. There were two prestigious Wang clan members who also went to Wang Juren. Everyone stood at the door, but they didn't go back to the house, they were waiting.

After listening to the big guy's discussion, Lian Man'er realized that the gong was sent by the county government to inform the villages and towns that the empress was dead. In the countryside, except for three meals a day, food, food, oil and salt, they rarely care about national affairs. Of course, they have no channels to know about national affairs. Only when major events happen and every common person needs to know about them, the county will send a messenger to inform the full text in this way.

In this way, the more important thing is that county officials should express their importance to the matters notified. Ordinary people do not have much knowledge. They usually listen to the right people, taking the right people and the big gentry as examples.

Lian Man'er thought about it carefully. When the queen died, there should be strict etiquette rules, such as how many days to mourn, banning banquets, etc. However, it should only be aimed at those who serve as officials and the people in the capital. The mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, and they are ordinary people. Not to mention the queen, even if the emperor dies, the impact on them should not be great.

After about two cups of tea, Li Zheng came out of Wang Juren's house and everyone surrounded him.

"...Don't wear colored clothes. This month I'm going to marry my daughter or wife, I'll push my life..." Li Zheng raised his voice.

"It seems that I didn't have such strict requirements before. My daughter won't let her marry a wife?" said an elderly man.

"It's not that I won't let you go, I'll let you push it back for a month." As Li said this, he lowered his voice. "This queen's surname is Shen, and she is the aunt of Shen's mansion in our city."

Lian Man'er's heart moved. The newly-dead queen is from the Shen family. I don't know what Shen Liu and Shen Xiaopang are called. Perhaps because she has watched too many palace dramas, Lian Man'er couldn't help but worry. There is no inside story about the death of this queen, right? Will it have any impact on Shen Liu and Shen Xiaopang? What about Hulala Buildings and the like.

"Man'er. Don't stand in the wind, let's go back to the house." Zhang said in his voice.

Lian Man'er looked up and saw that although there were still many people on the street, most of them had already returned to their own houses. Lian Man'er shook his head secretly and thought to himself, Lian Man'er, are you just eating carrots and worrying about it? The capital, the government, the queen, the Shen family, Shen Liu and Shen Xiaopang, the distance between these is 100,000 miles away from you, but what does it really have to do with you, and what can you do. Living the life in front of you is what you should be most attentive.

"Man'er, why are you still standing there?" Zhang saw Lian Man'er standing still, so he walked over.

"Mom. I'm worried, will this have any impact on our selling of sauerkraut?" Lian Man'er followed Zhang back to the house and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay." Zhang said confidently, "When I was a child, you heard your grandfather say that it was your grandfather's grandfather. At that time, if the emperor, empress, and empress dowager were gone, they would have to be on the market for three days. Later, the emperor thought about the people and said that the market would be over, and it was inconvenient for everyone, so he canceled this one."

Lian Man'er was talking to Zhang when he saw Goro and Xiaoqi running in from outside.

"What are you doing? In the blink of an eye, you two are gone?" Zhang asked.

"Mom, let's go to the door of Wang Juren's house to check it out." Wulang said, "The red lanterns at their doorstep were picked, changed to white lanterns, and the red couplets were covered with white cloth. I saw their family busy back and forth, and they took a lot of white cloth, as if they wanted to bring filial piety."

The Wang family had the reputation of a juren, and Empress Chen came from the Shen family. It was not surprising that the Wang family made such a move.

…………

Lian Man'er didn't think well, and this matter seemed to have little impact on their daily lives. Many people in rural areas have simple food, coarse clothes, listening to operas, and entertainment every day. They just need to live as usual.

On this day, Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er placed a table on the kang, prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and were writing big characters attentively. When he heard the footsteps outside, He brought a small basket to carry the curtain and walked in.

"Oh my god, Man'er and Zhi'er are preparing to take the exam for scholarship, let's learn from your uncle." He laughed at Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er.

Everyone knows that women cannot participate in the imperial examination, and He is laughing at them.

"Second uncle, do you have something to do with my mother? My mother works in the workshop." Lian Man'er just pretended that she couldn't hear the ridiculous meaning in He's tone.

"Don't look for your mother." He walked over and sat on the kang, "Zhier, haven't your family sprouted bean sprouts? Get some for me and add some vegetables at noon."

The weather was getting colder and the only vegetable that could be eaten was cabbage. Lian Man'er complained privately and was heard by Zhang. When Zhang was at her parents' home, she learned how to produce bean sprouts from Li. She scooped some soybeans and gave her a few kilograms of bean sprouts at home. Lian Man'er was overjoyed when she saw that Zhang's bean sprouts were neatly produced. A plate of bean sprouts, either stir-frying or cold-salted, were all excellent dishes. After a few meals, the family finished eating them. Zhang then gave her a few kilograms.

When Mrs. He smelled the smell, she often asked for it, saying that she was adding vegetables to Mr. Lian. In private, she secretly sent the bean sprouts to Xicun several times.

"Second uncle, my mother gave me bean sprouts in the morning, at least it would take several meals. Why are you here to ask for it again?" Lian Man'er said.

"You are so tough, your sister didn't even say anything. What's the point of a broken bean sprout? You can't bear to leave it? I'm your elder." He gave Lian Man'er a blank look. It's their local dialect, which means stingy.

"Second uncle, you mean Man'er," Lian Zhi'er said.

"You..." He rolled his eyes when he was choked.

"Second uncle, you said that our bean sprouts are 'a little' and broken, so why do you always ask for them? Second uncle is an elder, and we are not stubborn. We have never seen Second uncle order anything, and they are all taken by Second uncle. This elder is like this. Second uncle always extends his hands to others, which is called undeadly?" Lian Man'er smiled and fought back.

He was speechless by Lian Man'er's words.

"Yo, is the second sister-in-law here?" Zhang walked in from outside and saw He, and said hello.

"Oh, you're back. Listen to your daughter's mouth, like a knife, and almost ate me." He complained to Zhang.

When Zhang saw the basket in He's hand, he glanced at Lian Man'er. Lian Man'er pointed his chin at the clay pot where they had bean sprouts in the corner of the wall. Zhang knew what was going on.

"The children are having fun with you." Zhang said, "Zhier, stop and make some beans first. I gave you all the bean sprouts in the morning, so I won't eat them myself. Soak some beans and mom sends them to you."

There were several kilograms of bean sprouts in the clay tank, so why was it gone? It seems that Zhang learned to resist smartly after He's repeated requests.

"Oh." Lian Zhier agreed happily, then got off the kang and went to the outer room.

"Mom, you have a glass of water to warm up." Lian Man'er took the kettle that was hot on the kang and poured Zhang a bowl of ginger and brown sugar water.

Zhang took the bowl and started to warm his hands while drinking slowly.

"Second sister-in-law, haven't you gone out to visit today?" Zhang casually spoke to He.

No matter how thick-skinned He was, he still looked down at this time. She came to ask for bean sprouts. She was scolded by Lian Man'er first, and then Zhang's trick made her want to ask for bean sprouts, so she couldn't say anything. She didn't believe that the bean sprouts were gone, but she didn't dare to search in the clay pot.

He's face changed a few times and he laughed dryly.

"I'm going to go out. I'm going to go to his uncle's house in Xicun. Seeing that you have bean sprouts, you are planning to bring some over there." He said.

Even so, He could still say something about asking for bean sprouts. She didn't blush, but Zhang felt a little embarrassed. She was not reluctant to give up bean sprouts, but He just wanted it too hard. The family discussed behind their backs that He couldn't let what He wanted.

"What's the matter with his uncle's house?" Zhang said. With a family background like the He Laoliu family, ordinary rural families often don't want to eat bean sprouts, so Zhang asked this.

"It's not a treat. Isn't it? His uncle's hundreds of kilograms of wine sold? I'll cook a few more dishes at home and invite me and his brother-in-law to have a meal." He said proudly.

Lian Shouyi said that it would be best to hide this matter from the truth, but He felt that he was angry today and she wanted to get back the scene. Aren’t you helping us sell wine? We don’t need you, and we also sold the wine. He thought so.

"This is a good thing." Lian Man'er smiled and said, "Second uncle, who did you sell the wine from Uncle He's family? Is it a lot of money?"

He was not a scheming person. When Lian Man'er heard that the wine from He Laoliu's family had been sold, she changed her smile to her, and she became even more proud. As soon as she was proud, she even let Lian Shouyi's instructions go away.

"It's Mr. Xu from the city. He runs several big trading houses at home. That money is so profitable... My brother is a cheerful person, so he said, Mr. Xu, please give me a price. Mr. Xu gave me three cents of silver, three cents of silver per pound. My brother is not greedy for money. My brother said that three cents of silver are too much. Master Xu is so friends, so he made a friend of Mr. Xu and asked for one cents of silver..." He's balabala said, "It's so swollen."

Lian Man'er moved backwards. How much water is there in He's words?
