Daily Life of a Family After Confiscation

Song Mian worked overtime until she dropped dead. When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated into the daughter of a disgraced official. Her whole family was crammed into a dilapidated thatched hut.

Winter was approaching, and they had no cotton clothes or quilts. The kitchen only had a little food donated by others, clearly not enough to last them. She looked at the empty hut, distressed, unable to even produce a single copper coin. Song Mian: “...” What a desolate transmigration.

She planned to first fill the rice jar, starting with making delicious food to sell at a stall. Later, the imperial court changed, and a new emperor ascended the throne. The top priority was to clear her family's name. Many people thought that after years of decline, the Song family might not recover its former glory.

Who knew, the Song family was rather reluctant to be reinstated. They had built a farm in the outskirts of the capital and were living a joyful life, "planting beans beneath the southern mountains, picking melons in the western fields." Song Mian even enjoyed a life of "awning, fish pond, pomegranate tree, white cat, fat dog, and a handsome husband." Having gotten used to such a relaxed life, who would want to risk their neck in a 996 grind again?

Song's Farmhouse Fun became popular in the capital, with dishes like bobochicken, bridge-ribs, fried chicken, oden, pastries, and sponge cakes... They were so delicious that people suspected something illicit might have been added. This alarmed the Dali Temple Minister.

He disguised himself and infiltrated, determined to sweep away all darkness. However, he met several familiar pairs of eyes. "Your, Your Majesty? Grand, Grand Secretary? Gen, General?" The few people who were already drooling from the delicious food: "..."

PS:

1. This is a very daily, homely farming story, a feel-good novel.

2. The setting is entirely a fictionalized Ming Dynasty, with many personal embellishments. Some characters have prototypes.

3. The male lead is a gentle, virtuous background character.

4. I am a revision maniac. Updates are at 9 AM daily; any other time is for revisions.
