Harmful to others and yourself

Wang Po left Chen Yuanyuan's house and did not return to her own house. She turned around and went to Dongjiang Mi Lane.

Dongjiang Mixiang has the official yamen of the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, Huitongguan and other five government offices. As a commoner, it is impossible to know the prominent officials and gentry living in Dongjiang Mixiang.

Wang Po knocked on one of the side doors of the three-entry house, and there were tin nails nailed on the wall door, which was quite gorgeous.

The concierge opened the side door and saw Wang Po standing at the door. She was wearing blue cloth and patched in inconspicuous places.

The concierge frowned and looked down on Wang Po, who always talked about gossip. Due to the orders of her son, she still let her in and stood at the door and waited.

The concierge asked a few questions and planned to send her away with a few copper coins, worried that such a long-tongued woman would filth the Feng Shui of the family.

However, when the concierge learned from Wang Po that the secret recipe of Bai Tofu was found, he did not dare to make decisions without authorization, and hurried to the east gate.

After finding Sun Yifa who was studying in the east and explained the situation, Wang Po found Chen Yuanyuan's secret recipe for brewing white tofu.

Sun Yifa immediately put down the lonely book in his hand, stood up from the Huanghuali official hat chair, and rushed to the front yard.

Sun Yifa asked clearly about the situation, and his first reaction was that he didn't believe it, and soon fell into deep thought: "Lime is a material used to paint walls. I have never heard of it as edible. Have you read it wrong?"

Wang Po was waiting to receive the reward, and said with a 'Ouch': "Old man sat next to the tofu shed of the Chen family's little lady for a long time. She saw her scooped a bowl of lime and put it in the tofu. The smell smelled exactly the same as the lime. When Lao Man left, he pretended to fall accidentally and held his hands on the cloth bag."

After saying this, Wang Po stretched out her hands, and there was a lot of lime stain on it.

Sun Yifa was very disgusted with the old hands in front of him. In order to think about Chen Yuanyuan day and night, he reached out to scrape off some and looked carefully: "It's really lime. Will eating this thing kill people?"

Wang Po was afraid that the reward he received would be gone, so he hurriedly said, "How could anyone die? The Chen family's little lady sold white tofu that had been sold for many days, and now she is selling tofu flowers. She hasn't seen anyone eat it and harm her body."

Sun Yifa nodded, and when he remembered that what Wang Po said was true, he felt relieved: "Go to the account to withdraw a penny to her. Remember not to say it out, otherwise your grandson will not want to study in this life."

When Wang Po heard the word "grandson", she quickly swears and said that she will never reveal it, but no one cares about her behavior.

Sun Yifa said he would give him a penny of silver, turned around and left the door, preparing to find the chef at home to brew tofu.

Just a commoner, what can you do if you say it out loud? You won’t take it seriously.

When Ku Ding heard about the secret recipe of white tofu, he looked suspicious, suspected that his young master wanted to kill others.

However, after lime was mixed in tofu, white tofu was really made.

The cook smiled and said a few flattering words: "With the intelligence of the young master, he should be the Duke of Jie Yuan, who is in the provincial examination in the current year, and the one who has gone the great fortune, is not worthy of carrying shoes for the young master."

When Sun Yifa heard Duke Jie Yuan and Li Mian, he became angry and said to prepare for a tofu feast, and turned around and left the house.

I went to Luyuan and held a poetry gathering in Luyuan in the name of enjoying flowers.

Luyuan is also known as Yuanjiashan. It was built by Yuan Gong’s tribe members, demonstrating Yuan Gong’s achievements.

Not long after Emperor Jiazhen ascended the throne, the Japanese pirates occupied Ryukyu, and Duke Yuan personally led his troops to conquer the Japanese pirates.

He killed all the Japanese pirates, ascended Ryukyu, and led a large army back in triumph.

Yuan Gong’s tribe members built Lu Garden, surrounded by lakes, and the entire Lu Garden looked like a warship with the elegant name of Little Penglai.

Li Mian had long heard that Luyuan was a unique garden. When he was free, he found Sun Chuanting and asked him to recommend it to him and go to see Luyuan.

Sun Chuanting rarely made friends with the children of officials and gentry in the capital, and never heard of anyone he had a friendship with, let alone traveling together.

After receiving the invitation from Li Mian, he happily agreed and went to Luyuan together.

Sun Chuanting stood at the gate of Luyuan, pointed to Luyuan, which looked like a warship from afar and said, "If you want to come, you can come at any time, without my recommendation. Yuan Gong's Luyuan is not like other people's gardens, and you can come to watch at any time when you arrive at officials and nobles, as well as peddlers and barracks."

Li Mian heard that someone provided the hard-built garden for others to watch at will, and there was no misunderstanding. It was reasonable for this person to be Yuan Gong.

The two walked to the gate of Luyuan. Before they could step in, they heard the sound of chatting and laughing coming from behind.

Many officials, gentry and young men came together and walked into the Luyuan together, as if they were going to attend a grand event.

Li Mian looked at the officials and gentry princes coming and going, and asked: "There are many officials and gentry princes coming in Luyuan every day?"

Sun Chuanting looked at the bustling crowd in Luyuan and shook his head: "It is the first time I have seen such a lively scene. I guess someone used Yuan Gong's place to hold a poetry gathering."

"Ha ha."

At this time, a rather dignified laugh suddenly came from the two of them.

Sun Yifa walked to the two of them and saw Li Mian who was disgusting him. He did not look disgusted, but still had a smile on his face: "I said that when I went out today, there were magpies shouting on the bamboo in front of the door. It turned out that I met two distinguished guests, so why not go in together. I found a recipe for brewing white tofu in the ancient books I passed down from home. Today, I held a tofu banquet in Luyuan and invited the two distinguished guests to enjoy it together."

Sun Yifa's reputation in the capital is pretty good. He is a versatile scholar and has made extensive friends among the officials, gentry and young masters.

It is reasonable to invite Sun Chuanting to enjoy a tofu feast together, his family background is extraordinary.

Li Mian, who was a poor scholar, had to make the officials, gentry and princes around him sigh and praise Sun Yifa's heart for being full of great thoughts.

The officials, gentry and princes in the capital all knew one thing. If Emperor Jiazhen had not interfered with it in the current provincial examination, the title of Duke Jie Yuan would most likely fall on the heads of Sun Yifa and Qian Dongjian.

Sun Yifa's possibility is even greater. After all, he is a native of the capital, so Qian Dongjian is different. His ancestral home is in Northern Zhili, and his family has long moved to Jiangnan.

Qian Dongjian did not take the provincial examination in Jiangnan, but instead went to Beizhili to participate in the provincial examination, which caused criticism from scholars in Beizhili, who believed that he was suspected of being a fake.

When Sun Yifa took away Li Mian, who knew the name of Yuan Gong, he could still invite him to attend the tofu banquet with a kind look on his face. After this incident spread, he would definitely gain a reputation of being elegant and elegant.
