Chapter 139 Men are superficial
Xiao Lingyun replied, "Master was originally going to be appointed a general when he returned this time. Rumors had already spread, but who knew something unexpected would happen this time."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "He didn't answer the question directly."
Xiao Lingyun gave an awkward smile, "Master is the master."
Seeing that she couldn't find out anything, Su Nuan simply gave up asking. Who that guy was had nothing to do with her.
"Come on, go do what you need to do."
Xiao Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why, but she felt that this sister-in-law put a lot of pressure on her and sometimes even surpassed her master.
She didn't dare to show off and tried to reduce her presence as much as possible.
Su Nuan did not go up the mountain after the New Year, but there was enough meat and grain at home, so the food was not bad.
The greenhouse next door has been built long ago and is ready for use after testing.
Su Nuan planted some cabbage in it, and the space spirit said it was called cabbage.
Chives, sweet potato sprouts, radish, water spinach, onion, ginger, garlic and soybean sprouts.
As for fruits and vegetables, they take too long to grow and the greenhouse is not enough for now, so they have to be discarded.
Because of the river water, the cabbages grow as beautifully as if they were carved from white jade and emerald jade.
The chives were so big that they could compete with orchids, which amazed Xue, who had not had much hope at first.
Because the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is also an important day, Su Nuan collected the dishes, wrapped them in quilts and sent them to the City Guard's Mansion.
The gatekeeper opened the door immediately when he saw Su Nuan, without her even asking, and said with a smile, "Miss Su, please come in."
Su Nuan laughed, "Use it to buy some wine." She threw a purse containing a pound of golden peanuts over.
The guard at the gate smiled broadly, "Thank you, Miss Su, for the reward."
Ten taels of silver was nothing to Su Nuan, but it was a huge sum of money to these guards.
Su Nuan wouldn't give money every time she came. Today was the first time they met after the New Year, so she gave him some sweet treats.
"Help me carry the basket from the car inside. It's not far, but it's very cold. Don't let it freeze."
The guards did not dare to neglect and immediately waved: "Quick, carry them all to the front hall."
Su Nuan didn't wait for them and went straight to the front hall.
Because there were few guests in the City Guard's Mansion, there was no charcoal stove in the front hall. However, the perceptive maids saw Su Nuan coming and immediately went to get a few charcoal stoves.
The maid also served hot tea quickly.
"Miss Su, have some tea."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Qiu Ju is becoming more and more beautiful."
Qiuju looked shy and lowered her head and said, "That must be the vegetables grown by Miss Su to feed people."
Su Nuan did not deny that the dishes grown with this river water not only looked good and tasted good, but also had the effect of curing minor illnesses and reducing major ailments.
However, this dish needs to be eaten for a long time to control serious diseases, and it can be cured quickly with medical treatment.
Su Nuan didn't have to wait long before Zhao Hongxia ran in from outside.
"Sister, sister."
Su Nuan stood up, only to be hugged by Zhao Hongxia, who had lost a lot of weight.
Zhao Hongxia said happily: "Why did you come just now? How long has it been since the New Year?"
Su Nuan gently pushed her away and said with a smile, "You've lost a lot of weight. How's the progress with my elder sister?"
Zhao Hongxia smiled and said, "She's very happy. This is the first time that her brother-in-law is here to accompany her in the mansion."
Su Nuan nodded, "Men are superficial. We need to have our own lives. If a man comes back, we should pay attention to him. If he doesn't come back, let him be."
"After all, this is our first time enjoying the things of the world. Why should we give up our own preferences for a man?"
Zhao Hongxia tilted her head and thought for a moment. She nodded very seriously, "Yes, you are right."
Sun Yu walked in from outside and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Sister, please don't teach your second sister these things. I'm not a lustful person. I don't have those beautiful women."
Zhao Hongxia believed this. She smiled and said, "You don't have any beautiful women, but you have to do business, and sometimes you're away for a long time. I miss you day and night."
She lowered her eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Now I know that I should also look for things that can make me happy, so that when you come back I won't feel resentful, and when you leave, I won't be lonely and have random thoughts."
Sun Yu bowed deeply to Zhao Hongxia and said, "I'm sorry, my wife, but I really enjoy doing business."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Okay, now go and do your business and don't disturb me and my second sister from having fun."
Sun Yu gave Su Nuan a grateful smile, "Okay, okay, I'll go check on the dishes."
After Sun Yu left, Su Nuan patted her bag and said, "I brought some good stuff, but it takes four people to play with me."
She reproduced the Mahjong that was popular in her previous life, but this thing has not yet been introduced to her country.
Zhao Hongxia looked at her with sparkling eyes and asked, "Then can we call my father? Every day, besides accompanying my mother in the backyard, he goes out to visit other people's wives. It's already making those people's scalps numb."
Su Nuan chuckled, "Okay, it would be a good thing if it can help him relieve his boredom."
How bad could a man with such a deep obsession with his deceased wife be? It would be good to distract him.
The two of them left the front hall and came to the small flower hall in the backyard, which was very warm.
Su Nuan looked at the eight-immortal table and asked, "Do you have a square table? This won't work. It's best if all four sides have shields."
Zhao Hongxia was very smart and quick in her work. She shouted, "Someone, go and move the tea table from my father's room."
Su Nuan raised her eyebrows. A tea table wouldn’t cause a rift between father and daughter, right?
Soon someone brought the tea table, but the city governor sat on it and refused to get down, sulking with his arms crossed.
Zhao Hongxia walked over and hugged the thin old man with both hands and carried him away.
"It's just a table. We're borrowing it for a while and will return it to you when we build a new one."
Su Nuan saw clearly the uniqueness of this table. It was three feet square, with water barriers around it, and the table top was a whole piece of natural marble with a landscape painting.
When making tea on such a table, you can pour water on the table, and the water will gather in the corner and flow into the bucket through the pipe.
She touched the marble tabletop and said awkwardly, "No, this thing will break."
Zhao Hongxia raised her eyebrows, "What about covering it with fur?"
Su Nuan continued to shake her head, "No, it has to be smooth, flat, and solid. The sound of the cards colliding with each other and the sound of the cards falling are the highlights of this game."
Zhao Hongxia's gaze shifted from the tea table to the eight-immortals table. "Well, someone, come and change that table into a square with horizontal stripes around it."
Su Nuan touched her nose. Are people in the north so generous and decisive?
When the old man saw that his table was saved, he immediately called out, "Hurry up, carry it back to me."
Su Nuan simply called out, "Master City Guard, I have something I'd like you to clear up. This is related to the overall development of the Northern Frontier in the future."
The old man looked at Su Nuan, his eyes full of scrutiny. "You? What can a little girl like you have to talk to me about? Or are you too tired to endure the hardships and want to live a luxurious life in this city guard's mansion?"
