(Transmigration + Slow Romance + Female Side Character) Tong Wen Yao woke up one day to find herself transmigrated as the young lady of the Tong family.
She didn't enjoy the la...
If her family didn't take out silver to exchange for civilians when they arrived at the border, they would have to work day and night! So along the way, even if Tong Wenyao treated her badly at the beginning, she silently endured it.
I also carried my sister-in-law's luggage, hoping that she could redeem her child when we reached the border!
But she said today that we are a family, which made her eyes well up with tears! Here, Tong Wenyao saw that Aunt Cui was not in a good mood, so she did not go over to her. Instead, she continued to flip the shrimps and crabs on the shelf!
After the shrimps were grilled, she took them apart and put them in a bowl. She then tied some more shrimps to wooden sticks and grilled them. Xin'er had been eager to eat them for a long time. When she saw that she had finished grilling them, she couldn't help but reach out and grab a bunch.
"Sizzle, sizzle," she opened her mouth to breathe out because of the heat.
This made everyone laugh, and Xin'er didn't care whether they were laughing at her or not, she just kept expressing herself.
"Ah, sister, this is so delicious!" Tong Wenyao said with a smile: "That's because you accompanied me to the river to catch such a delicious thing!"
Tong Wenjiang, who was standing by, also agreed, "Then I won't go hunting with them next time. I'll go shrimping with Yao'er."
As he spoke, he stuffed shrimp into his mouth. Tong Bo was more polite when eating shrimp. He first peeled the shrimp shell and then tasted it slowly.
Fortunately, Tong Wenyao had told her mother before that she could eat shrimps but not crabs, as crabs are cold in nature and her period was not stable.
Qian's mother also started eating shrimps at this time. The taste was much better than when she was in exile. When Cui's mother saw that the chicken soup in the clay pot was ready, she also poured a bowl for Qian's mother.
"You eat this crab. I can't eat crabs now." When Cui's mother saw her handing it to her, her heart softened.
"Hey!" There was a touch of emotion in her tone. The crabs Cui's mother had eaten before were all specially opened and eaten by the servants, but now she looked at the crab with eight claws and didn't know how to eat it.
Tong Bo, who was standing by, saw this and demonstrated it himself. Finally, Cui's mother was able to eat the crabs she had cracked herself.
Crabs in autumn have a lot of crab roe, which tastes unique. They are also more fragrant when roasted. Tong Wenjiang wants to eat even the claws.
Tong Wen Yao looked at the scene in front of her, and something in her heart seemed to be touched. Her second uncle was a rather dull person, and usually didn't talk much. Most of the talking was done by Cui's mother. But she saw that Cui's mother seemed to have a closer relationship with her mother tonight. Originally, she found that her relationship with Cui's mother was only good on the surface, but now, it seemed that the relationship between the two rooms was even better.
The team also ate black steamed buns with wild vegetables. Fortunately, many people in the team went to the river to catch a lot of shrimps to improve their food because Tong Wen Yao said there were shrimps by the river. Many people were grateful to Tong Wen Yao, except for Mrs. Du.
In fact, Tong Wenyao also had selfish motives in her heart. If only her family ate meat, then her family might become the target of public criticism.
If there were many people in the team who ate meat, no one would pay attention to their family.
Among the officers, Lao Zheng was looking around anxiously, but no one asked him to buy chicken soup. He thought that the group of people didn't want to eat meat, so he had to find out the situation. It would have been fine if he hadn't found out, but once he did, he became numb.
"You said everyone in the team eats meat?"
One of the people in the group answered, "Yes, they all went to the river to catch shrimps to eat."
Old Zheng narrowed his eyes, looking extremely sinister. "Who told them there were shrimps by the river?"
"My wife said it was the daughter of the Tong family who said it." That's right, the person they were looking for was Aunt Du's husband, Zhang Li.
Old Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at the fire in the distance. Tong Wenyao was flipping the shrimps on the grill.
"Heh, you're blocking my path to wealth, and you still want to have a good life in the team? Don't even think about it!"
Many people in the team were envious of the chicken soup cooked by Tong Wen Yao's family. Although they couldn't take it from Tong Wen Yao, they could get the chicken soup from Guan Ye.
Lao Zheng waited until the end, and only two or three people were willing to pay for it. His face couldn't help but darken. He still wanted to make a fortune by selling chicken soup!
I didn't expect Tong Wen Yao to interfere.
The person who got the chicken soup also looked unhappy. The chicken soup he bought for one or two taels of silver only contained two or three pieces of chicken, and most of them were bones.
Those who bought it felt regretful, while those who didn't buy it felt envious. But then they thought about settling down in the frontier and decided to save as much as possible now, otherwise they would be stuck without money when they got there.
At this point, Tong Wen Yao was hated by the police officer Lao Zheng.
Early the next morning, Tong Wen Yao got up early to heat up the leftover chicken soup from last night, and she also took a few tortillas from the space. Everyone drank the chicken soup together.
The sky was just beginning to brighten when they set out. Lord Chen was a little surprised that Tong Wenyao had come to see him, after all, he had heard about the meat feast at her house the night before. He didn't care, after all, those who were exiled from the capital were afraid that they would one day return to the capital.
However, the imperial edict given to him this time was very strange. If it was to exile the Tong family, it would be better to say that the Tong family was sent to the border. However, the Tong family has been generals for generations, so what is the difference between this and sending the fish back into the water.
"Uncle Chen, I came here to ask you something." Officer Chen glanced at her and couldn't help but feel secretly shocked. The daughter of the Tong family had a firm look in her eyes, with a hint of cunning, and acted decisively. For such a person, is she still afraid that she won't be able to return to the capital?
"I want to ask if my mother can sit on the grain transport cart." Officer Chen glanced at her, calculating the benefits in his mind.
If she had been so useless when she was first exiled, Officer Chen might not have let her mother ride on the grain cart. But after observing her for the past two days, he found that this girl from the Tong family behaved in a disciplined manner and had a plan for doing things. Perhaps if he helped her this time, she would be able to save him again when she gained power in the future?
He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Regarding the rules, you shouldn't ride in a cart, but your father died fighting for the people on the frontier, and your mother is pregnant, so I'll make an exception for once."
Tong Wen Yao didn't expect it to be so smooth, but she still did not forget to secretly give him a silver ingot.
"My mother's car fare." Uncle Chen weighed the silver and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. If those people in Beijing saw him accepting bribes, they would probably be shocked!
So, Qian's mother got on the food cart, while Tong Wenyao and the others walked. Many in the group began to feel sore, but Tong Wenyao and the others remained unfazed and continued walking. They even walked behind the men's group, walking with Tong Wenyao, his second uncle, and the others.
Cui's mother calmly approached Tong Wenyao and whispered, "Did you arrange for your mother to take the car?"
Tong Wenyao glanced ahead and said, "Yeah."
Cui's mother's tone was a little excited, and her voice was a little louder. "Do you know that this will make her the target of public criticism?"
