Standing at the door of the Han family, Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang were a little bit unbelievable. They had heard that their cousin had a bad marriage. They were still thinking that it must be a rumor. Their cousin was the only legitimate daughter of the second house and even the Su family. How could she have a bad marriage? Now they were standing here. Is this where their cousin lived? It was really shabby.

Su Wenyue naturally saw the expressions on Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang's faces. After all, they were still young, and even though they were making a living under their stepmother, they had not yet fully learned to hide their emotions.

"My two cousins, we're here. This is your cousin's home. It may look a little shabby, but it's comfortable. Don't dislike it. It's too late for you to dislike it now. You have to stay here for a few days before you can go back." Su Wenyue said humorously while standing at the gate of her house. Her place was indeed too 'shabby' compared to the Su family's, not to mention compared to the Beian Marquis' Mansion.

"Don't say that, cousin. I think this place is pretty good. We just didn't think of it for a moment. After all, my uncle and aunt love you so much, and they don't have any other intentions." Su Lanxin said awkwardly, fearing that Su Wenyue would misunderstand.

"Don't be restrained. My parents love me, but this is my own idea. Besides, the conditions are not bad. I am happy to share the joys and sorrows with my husband." Su Wenyue said with a smile. Han Yu felt touched when he heard this. With such a wife, what else could a husband ask for? He swore in his heart to let his wife live a good life and no longer be looked down upon by those relatives of the Su family.

Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang smiled after hearing this, not knowing what to say.

After entering the Han family's house, I found that it was not as bad as I had imagined. At least it was simple and elegant, and the food and daily necessities were not bad. It was even more comfortable and relaxed than living in the Su Mansion. I began to really like this place.

"Cousin, what is this? I've never eaten it before. It tastes crispy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside." Su Lanxin had spent some time with Su Wenyue and knew that Su Wenyue's personality had become more relaxed, so she asked with a smile.

"Yes, there's also this. It tastes refreshing and better than vegetables." Su Lanfang agreed, and picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. She even put aside the etiquette that was taught by the nanny on a daily basis. Her face was full of ease and joy, and she was happy to share the food with her two cousins.

These were all grown from seeds introduced from foreign countries. Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang had naturally never eaten them. Although the Su family also had seeds and would send some to the Beian Marquis' Mansion, the quantity was not large and it was not something that the two concubines could eat. Su Wenyue patiently explained to them.

"This is potato cake, made with sweet potato and rice flour. The sweet potato is grown from seeds introduced from foreign vassal states. It is this big and looks like a lumpy soil. Some have yellow cores and some have purple cores. You will know when you go to the kitchen. This is cauliflower. No wonder you have never seen it. They are all seeds from foreign countries. They were only planted on the farm this year. It is just right for you to have a taste. If you like it, you can ask the kitchen to make it again."

Su Lanfang was still young, and when she heard there was something delicious, she nodded hurriedly. In her opinion, the food at her cousin's house was even more delicious than that at the Su Mansion. She would not have such an opportunity when she went back in the future. The food was delivered by the kitchen according to the quota. Although her stepmother was not that picky, the food made in such a big kitchen would be mostly cold by the time it was delivered to them. How could it taste good?

"This pickled vegetable is better than any pickled vegetable I've ever eaten. Cousin, you have so many delicious foods at home." Su Lanfang exclaimed with envy.

"Yes, and every meal is so sumptuous. Even in our Marquis' Mansion, where times are hard, only the old lady's house can provide such delicious dishes." Su Lanxin looked at the table and saw that in addition to those new and fresh things she had never seen before, there was also chicken, duck, fish, meat, and fashionable vegetables. Only then did she realize that her cousin's family might not be as shabby as it looked. The food here was no worse than that of the Marquis' Mansion and the Su Mansion, and even better. How could they live like this without some family collections?

"My favorite are these vegetables. Now it's winter, and there are fewer and fewer edible vegetables. They are even more expensive than meat. Only at my cousin's house can I eat to my heart's content." Su Lanfang said as she kept putting vegetables into her mouth. She had actually eaten most of the vegetables on the table. It shows how much she loves to eat them.

Su Wenyue had stayed in the back house for so long in her previous life, so she naturally understood the sadness and suffering of being a concubine's daughter. She encountered such a world again. Although the Beian Marquis's Mansion was powerful, it was not as wealthy as the second branch of their business family. The food and supplies were not even as good as those of the Su Mansion. As a concubine's daughter, her treatment was naturally not much better.

However, Su Lanfang's words gave Su Wenyue an idea. There were fewer vegetables in winter, but there was still a way to make a living. She could build a greenhouse and grow vegetables in it. Then she would not have to worry about having no vegetables to eat even in the middle of winter.

Su Wenyue didn't think so before, but now she is so grateful to Concubine Li who was forced to death early by court officials. She has benefited a lot because of Concubine Li. This greenhouse for growing vegetables was also set up by Concubine Li, but it has benefited her instead. She also has many ideas. That person praised Concubine Li at the beginning, and the little girl in her family gossiped a lot about this legendary figure Concubine Li. She can almost recite Concubine Li's life by heart.

This was probably God's favor to her. In the past, Concubine Li relied on this to be successful, and now she can also rely on these to live a good life. Of course, she has to be low-key and cautious, otherwise she will end up with the same fate as Concubine Li.

Su Wenyue was preoccupied with something and had no mood to chat and joke with the two sisters Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang. If this matter could be done well, it would save her a lot of expenses. Moreover, at this age, these food and daily necessities are more rare than gold, silver and jade. She asked the servants to collect a lot of seeds. There were only extra ones, and there was no other expense except the greenhouse and manpower. It was really a great idea.

Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang were both well-behaved and sensible. Having grown up in a marquis's mansion, the thing they were best at was reading people's faces. Seeing that Su Wenyue was absent-minded, obviously busy with something, they were also tactful and did not disturb Su Wenyue anymore. The two sisters went to play by themselves.

"Madam Chen, please ask the guard to go to the farm and ask Xiaoxi to come back. I have something to tell her to do. Tell her to put down what she is doing and come back quickly. This matter of mine is more important." Su Wenyue ordered. Xiaoxi seemed to have become her manager outside. Most of the time, she was not at home to serve, but was busy with things outside.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

When Nanny Chen saw Su Wenyue's expression, she knew that the Madam must have come up with some good idea, otherwise how could the Han family live such a comfortable and prosperous life? They had been worrying about the family's food and expenses for a long time, not only because of the Madam's generous dowry, but also because the Madam was good at managing it.
