Chapter 467: Bean sprouts
The An family started off by military exploits. They lacked strategy and had few connections. The emperor was jealous of his military exploits and was jealous of others. In addition, he had such an incompetent son. That was enough reason for the emperor to clean up.
When Anjia's role is completely squeezed out, there will be no Anjia in this world.
Cui Wenshuo felt a sigh of relief in his heart, but his face was full of ridicule, "An Leiting, even though he had a good deck of cards in his hand, it was so stupid that he was beaten to pieces."
"The An family It’s nothing if it’s gone. The Cui family hasn’t started to interact with him yet, but they’ve gotten all the benefits, so they don’t suffer any loss.”
"Yes." Xiao Luo'an nodded, "From now on, the Western Frontier Army will only look at Fan Honghui's methods."
"Everyone in the Fan family is an old fox. Although Fan Honghui is young, he is also very deep in the city, and Fan The family has always been loyal to the emperor. From now on, the Western Frontier Army will probably We can only watch."
Cui Wenshuo was very sad that he could not bring the Western Frontier Army under the Cui family. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Speaking of which, this Lu Qiyan is considered young and promising. "
"Indeed." Xiao Luoan nodded.
"It's a pity that we are already married." Cui Wenshuo looked regretful, but then raised his eyebrows, "But this man..."
"Lu Qiyan and his wife have a deep love for each other, I'm afraid it won't work out." Xiao Luoan interrupted Cui Wenshuo, "And I heard that the Xia family has a deep relationship with the He family. Cui Wendong even targeted the Xia family before... So I think Mr. Cui It’s better not to make this idea.”
“That’s right.” Cui Wenshuo nodded.
If this makes Mrs. He unhappy again and offends the He family, it will not be worth the loss.
No need!
Seeing that Cui Wenshuo could listen, Xiao Luoan continued, "Not only can't you have such an idea, but the Cui family and Lu Qiyan should not have too much face-to-face contact."
"Theoretically speaking, the Cui family will not pursue the death of Cui Wendong, and the An family will try their best to calm it down. The matter should be completely suppressed, but the emperor is completely aware of it..."
Xiao Luo An paused and said, "I heard that Wang Yushi's aunt is from the Wen family."
"You mean, there are people from the Wen family here?" Cui Wenshuo raised his eyebrows.
"The second prince sent me here to win over An Jia. Since the second prince has this idea, there is no guarantee that the eldest prince does not. Not only here, but also in the military camp, there are also Wen family informants. . "
Xiao Luo'an said, "So in my opinion, Mr. Cui should not be too close to Lu Qiyan, otherwise if he is targeted by the Wen family, he may not even have Lu Qiyan in the army. "
< br>
By then, all the Western Frontier Army would fall into Fan Honghui's hands.
This matter is not of much benefit to the Wen family, but for the Wen family, as long as it is detrimental to the Cui family, they are very happy.
"Yes." Cui Wenshuo nodded in agreement, but was also secretly worried, "But if not, I'm afraid it would be difficult to win over Lu Qiyan."
"In my opinion, this It's not difficult, and there's no need to win over Lu Qiyan at all," Xiao Luoan said with a smile.
“Why?” Cui Wenshuo was puzzled.
"During my stay in the army, I got a clear picture of his character. Lu Qiyan has a strategic mind, is very calm in his work, and attaches great importance to the word profit in everything."
Xiao Luo An said, "This time he took the initiative to cooperate with Master Cui. All the chips have been placed on the Cui family in order to install An Jingzhong."
"From now on, Mr. Cui only needs to speak for Lu Qiyan in the court, and Lu Qiyan will naturally know what to do. How to do it, when Lu Qiyan can really do it in the west With the power in the army, and the second prince coming forward, everything will be safe."
"Before that, if Mr. Cui doesn't mind, I am willing to contact Lu Qiyan for the Cui family, and I will definitely make him deal with Cui. The second prince Jiahe is loyal." "No. To hide this from Mr. Cui, when I was recuperating in Jinqiu County, I had business dealings with Lu Qiyan's wife, Xia, and she benefited a lot. Lu Qiyan respects me very much and is willing to listen to everything. "
Indeed, it is better to moisturize things silently than suddenly.
Cui Wenshuo thought for a while and then nodded, "In this case, the Third Prince will be in trouble."
"Young Master Cui's words are really polite." Xiao Luo'an said, "These are all It’s my duty.”
It’s my duty.
Xiao Luoan smiled, the light in his eyes dim and unclear.

The twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month passed in a blink of an eye.
New Year's Eve is approaching, and many people are getting busier to prepare new year's goods. The streets are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and people are beaming with joy. This year can be said to be more and more intense.
Guo Kanglai came to the county town again, and when he came he brought two large carts full of things.
Chickens, ducks, geese, and fish are all live animals and can be eaten and killed immediately, which is convenient and fresh.
In addition to the common radish, cabbage and lotus root, garlic sprouts, spinach, coriander... are all picked fresh from the ground with some fresh soil.
In addition, there are sun-dried lotus seeds, dried lotus leaves, brooms tied with sorghum stalks and other items for daily use at home.
When He Chuan went to Xiaji to supply goods, he sent some dried red dates, peeled peanuts, selected clean soybeans, mung beans, etc.
Shopkeeper Ge also came and brought some fresh mutton, mutton chops, pork, ribs and other items for use in cooking during the Chinese New Year.
Shen Shujun also came to help Xia Mingyue, Lu Shi, Yin Lingyou and everyone who worked in Xia Ji write Spring Festival couplets and paint New Year pictures.
Lu, with Zhuang Cui, Yinqiao and others, began to clean the courtyard, clean the house, paste lanterns, make New Year's purses, steam buns, fry fried goods...
Stay in the vinegar brewing workshop for a day After a busy day, Xia Mingyue suddenly realized what she should do to prepare for the New Year, but she found that everything at home had been prepared.
The pot lids and kitchen utensils that are often washed very clean on weekdays are also symbolically brushed with hot water to shine again before a big day like the Chinese New Year.
Even Xia Mingyue’s daily quilt and sheets have been replaced by silver and green orange into red that matches the New Year atmosphere.
Seeing that everything big and small has been prepared, Xia Mingyue, who was eating fried tofu slices and freshly steamed sweet potato buns in the morning, tilted her head, thinking about what she should do in order to Have a full sense of participation in the New Year.
But from food to clothing to use, the home is currently well prepared without any omissions, and the only thing she is good at is eating...
Eating?
Yes!
Xia Mingyue's eyes fell on the fried tofu slices in her hand. After finishing breakfast, she went to find the soybeans and mung beans that He Chuan had sent earlier, washed them clean, and soaked them for a day.
Find two large coarse porcelain earthenware pots, cut two or three holes for draining in the bottom of the pots, wrap the two soaked beans in gauze and put them in, cover them with wooden boards. Then put enough weight on it.
Make sure it is not exposed to light, and pour water once in the morning and evening, so that the beans in the earthen pot can fully absorb the water, and make sure there is no accumulation of water in the earthen pot.
You can try growing bean sprouts, it’s easy to get started with. Remember, there should be no accumulation of water, otherwise they will be damaged. Do not expose it to light, and do not look at it three or four times a day...it will not grow well. . If you want to eat short and fat food, remember to press something, otherwise it will grow too fast and become slender. It can be eaten after three or four days. I think this is the most tender and fragrant time~< br>
