The Feast

Chapter 2: The environment is cruel

Views:

Su Nuannuan's name in this superficial era is Su Mengnuan, but everyone is also used to calling her nickname Nuannuan, so it can be regarded as the same name as her modern identity, and the sense of disobedience has been reduced a lot.

Su Mengnuan's natal family was originally a prominent Duke's mansion. She is the youngest daughter of Duke Ping, and her birth status is noble and glamorous. That's why she was able to marry into the Marquis of Anping's mansion three years ago and became the young master Duan Tingxuan. married wife.

Marquis Anping was the only younger brother of the current empress, and Duan Tingxuan was his eldest son. He was liked by the emperor and empress since he was a child, and he had a good relationship with the crown prince and several other princes. Under Duan Tingxuan, there are two younger brothers and one younger sister. One of the younger brothers, Duan Tingye, is the second wife of Lord Hou and the daughter of his beloved cousin, so he is very fond of Lord Hou. His wife doesn't seem to be a good one; the other younger brother, Duan Tingfang, was born by Aunt Lin, who is cowardly and withdrawn, and has not yet married. That younger sister is also Aunt Lin's daughter, and she has been in poor health since she was a child. Now she is thirteen, she is a young girl, but it is more like a medicine jar in the shape of a person.

The relationship between Duan Tingxuan and Su Mengnuan is not good. Su Mengnuan is jealous and extravagant by nature. After she married into the Hou Mansion, even the dishes and chopsticks she used had to be made of gold and silver. Xi, but it is the old lady, Mrs. Fang, because she is considered a noble status, so she is not very disgusted with her.

As for Duan Tingxuan, according to Su Nuannuan's analysis, this is a contradictory combination with a heart as iron as iron and fingers as soft as fingers. You can say that he is affectionate, he is indeed affectionate, he is on a par with Duan Yu's father, besides studying literature and martial arts in his life, his favorite thing is beauties, if it is not limited by his status, I am afraid that he can collect all the beauties in the world, and then he will be rebuilt A marquis mansion is not enough to install it. Even so, up to now there are still three or four concubines, two concubines and two concubines.

But if he is said to be cruel, this person is indeed cruel. He endured Su Mengnuan tossing about in the backyard for three years, and once he was furious, he decisively imprisoned Su Mengnuan in this dilapidated courtyard, and he refused to pay any mercy and the post-marriage love. The tenderness and sweetness in the short years.

Of course, many people think that the reason why Duan Tingxuan dared to "spoil his concubine and destroy his wife" so blatantly is closely related to the disaster that happened to the Duke of Pingguo three months ago. Because of a mistake in the delivery of food and grass, the battle between the frontier and Northern Huns was almost defeated. The emperor was furious and cut off the title of Duke Pingguo. The whole family, regardless of gender, old or young, was sent to Niutoushan as slaves. Only a few were married. The girls, including Su Mengnuan, escaped this catastrophe.

But Su Nuannuan relied on Su Mengnuan's memory to analyze Duan Tingxuan, a scumbag, and thought that the other party's doing such a thing that was inferior to a beast should have nothing to do with the disaster of the Pingguo government. That scumbag is notoriously arrogant, relying on the favor of the emperor and queen, when his temper comes up, he dares to slap the prince on the table and yell at him. Therefore, it can be said that Su Mengnuan is to blame for what she is today.

Anyway, Su Nuannuan definitely looks down on this arrogant, jealous and bad-hearted woman. Looking at her short life, besides her good figure, good face and good teeth, what advantages does she have? Originally, the incarnation was noble, but now this advantage no longer exists. Thanks to the fact that Honglian and Xiangyun are still loyal to her, they brought four dowry girls with them back then, and these two are still willing to stay by her side. From this, it can be seen that Su Mengnuan is a man. fail.

Therefore, Su Nuannuan made a summary of this "golden marriage": a scumbag man matches a poisonous woman, don't say anything about anyone else.

Of course, now that the poisonous woman is dead and replaced by her "eating woman", there is only one impression of the scumbag: what is that? Can I eat it? If you can't eat it, go away.

The road to survival starts from this moment, and the scumbag will not let it go. Well, well, in fact, the guy never came at all.

"I heard that woman committed suicide today?"

"Yes, sir, but it is said that he was rescued later." Siping, Duan Tingxuan's confidant, glanced secretly, seeing that the master had no expression, and then continued with a smile: "I heard that Miss Honglian has spent all her efforts to invite you." A doctor went there, and after reading it, it seems that there is nothing wrong."

"She still loves to toss so much."

Duan Tingxuan sneered, glanced at the brochure he was going to play tomorrow, and then put it on the table: "Okay, then let her go to the trouble, let's forget about it. Hehe, first after the hunger strike Hanging herself, there are quite a lot of serious tricks. By the way, you can tell Ran Yun again, and say that her monthly silver and food and clothing expenses will not be deducted. I am still waiting to see what tricks she can come up with. Well, if she can come up with one hundred and eight ways to die, I will obey her, isn't the Second Prince the author of the book? It just happened to be collected in "The Record of Strange Tales of Ancient and Modern Times."

"Yes, Grandpa."

Siping didn't dare to say more, he thought to himself, that one completely annoyed the master. That's right, you said that you are already like this, and your mother's family is like that, so what are you still struggling with? If you know your mistakes and can correct them, maybe you can change your mind a little bit based on the little affection you had in the past. You have completely ruined this little hope by making such a fuss.

I think so, but she is still a serious grandma. Although the phoenix in trouble is not as good as a chicken, she is still a phoenix, isn't she? So it's not his turn to gossip about the other party's affairs, even if he is the master's confidant.

"Is that what your master said?" Xu Ranyun sat behind the table, smiling and looking at Siping who was standing in front of him with his hands hanging down: "Food and clothing will be distributed as usual, is that so?"

"Yes, Grandma Yun, that's what I said." Siping laughed together. This Grandma Yun is a girl from the Earl's Mansion of Chengming. That one traveled hundreds of miles, just because she was only a flat wife after all, so she couldn't be called Grandma, but Grandma Yun.

Siping is very clear in his heart: Grandma Yun is the most straightforward in her actions, she is quick-spoken and has a lot of eyes. It has not been a day or two for the eldest grandma who is jealous. Now that the eldest grandma has finally come to such a miserable end, of course she can't wait for her to die quickly. , so that the Lord can straighten her up. Anyway, Grandma Lan, the concubine of Duke Zheng's mansion, couldn't compete with her, and she couldn't compete with her.

"Okay, I get it. I'm really concerned about my reputation now. I've committed the crime of jealousy almost all over the place. I'm afraid that if she divorces, she will be accused of making trouble?" Xu Ranyun pretended to sigh, Said to Siping: "Okay, you go back and tell the master, just say that I know, I will cook his favorite duck soup here tonight, if he has a free time, let him come over and have a drink."

"Yes, Grandma Yun, this servant will go and tell my master that I love the duck soup you made the most, and I will definitely come over tonight." Siping said with a smile, which really made Xu Ranyun smile a little more He laughed and scolded: "You monkey can talk, that's enough, go down, hey... wait, Fengxian, give this monkey a bunch of money, it's hard for him to make this trip."

Siping said, "It's not difficult, it's not difficult..." He took the money with a smile, and then withdrew.

As soon as his figure disappeared outside the door, Fengxian bent down and asked: "Grandma, what should I do? I seem to be thinking about Grandma..." Before he finished speaking, Xu Ranyun sneered and said: "You know What? If you really read it, you wouldn’t send her to Meiyuelou to wait for her to die, for food and clothing? Hehe, it’s not that she won’t be paid, just give her two strings of money every month. She is a woman under house arrest. Are you eligible for more?"

Fengxian understands her grandma's temperament, and these two strings of money are probably used to test the master. If the master ignores that woman from now on, let alone two strings of money, even two coins, I'm afraid it won't fall into the hands of the grandma. inside.

And these, Su Nuannuan knew nothing about it.

However, she has also been mentally prepared for the harsh and cruel living environment. Modern women do not have the concept of relying on men to live, so she never thought that she should have monthly money and regular allowances for food and clothing. She just thought: In this situation, everything depends on own up.

Whenever she thinks like this, Su Nuannuan is very grateful that God placed her in this big courtyard. From then on, this is her independent kingdom, and she is confident that she can get a better life in this independent kingdom and continue her foodie life that is completely different from modern times.

"Grandma, you've been wandering around the backyard for two days, and today's breakfast hasn't been delivered to the kitchen, why are you still thinking about wandering here?"

Xiangyun followed Su Nuannuan, and asked curiously, thinking that sister Honglian was going to die of anxiety, why did the grumpy grandma change her temper this time? If it was in the past, grandma might be so angry that she would bump her head to death.

"Why don't you have any thoughts?" Su Nuannuan smiled, reached out and stroked the newly sprouted seedlings on the ground: "Do you know what this is?"

"Chives... Miaoer, right?"

Xiangyun said uncertainly that she remembered seeing this thing at the second aunt's house in the countryside before she was sold into the Duke's mansion, and it seemed to be called leeks.

"That's right, leek, do you know how delicious this thing is? Whether you make a leek box or a fried eggplant box, they are all rare and delicious. You can also make dumplings with three delicacies stuffing, or mince them with meat. Sandwiched in eggplant strips and steamed in a pan…”

Su Nuannuan's enthusiastic narration was suddenly interrupted when she saw Xiangyun Yazi Tinglei's appearance, she shook her head: "Forget it, what can I say to you little girl? You don't understand. Anyway, you just need to You know, we will definitely not starve to death."

Su Nuannuan said this with full confidence. After two days of observation, she was finally able to confirm that this backyard with an area of seven or eight acres should have been used as an experimental field by some senior, except for this bed of leeks in the backyard. In addition, there are lettuce seedlings, spinach seedlings, and radish seedlings scattered everywhere. It is only the beginning of spring now. As the weather gradually heats up, she is confident that such things as cabbage seedlings, radish seedlings, Eggplant seedlings or something.

So there is no unparalleled road, especially for a foodie like her, as long as she can't starve to death, everything is easy to negotiate.
