The next day, I arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture and left the station. Everyone discussed which inn to live in. Mr. Kang said to Tsui Hark: "Scholar, I haven't eaten for a night and I'm a little hungry. How about we go to eat something? Kaifeng Prefecture has the most famous snacks."

Tsui Hark asked Wang Xiaozi, and there was nothing to do, so he followed Kang Yuanwai and his wife to a snack shop next to him.

The store is open next to the station, and it is very neat. When a few people come in, a servant quickly stepped up and asked, "What do you want to use if you are a guest? We have the best mutton buns here, which have just been steamed out and are delicious."

Mr. Kang took everyone to sit down in a seat and said, "Then let's have a basket of buns first. By the way, what soup is there?"

The servant said, "There are wontons, tofu brains, and various porridges. What do the guest officials want?"

Mr. Kang said: "I'll give you a few bowls of rotten brains, and this thing tastes smooth."

The servant responded and asked again: "Customer, should the tofu brain be sweet? Or should it be salty? Should it be added with braised or not?"

Mr. Kang said: "Of course I have to be sweet! I have money to you, but it's not that I'm salty, I'm not that I'm not rich!"

The servant agreed and was about to leave, Tsui Hark said, "Wait, I want salty. It's best to have meat braised and some chopped vegetables in it."

The servant responded and went there quickly. The food was ready-made and was taken up in a moment.

Mr. Kang said to Tsui Hark: "Scholar, don't be afraid of spending money. When we arrive in Kaifeng Prefecture, we can't be petty and add some sugar to our tofu brain."

The servant couldn't help but say to Mr. Kang: "Customer, our store, whether it is sweet or salty, the price is the same."

After hearing this, Kang Yuanwai couldn't help but stare at: "Where is there a business like this! How much does a pound of sugar cost and how much does a pound of salt cost? How can it be the same price? In my hometown, you can buy two bowls of salty one with a bowl of sweet ones!"

The servant said, "Customer, there is no way to do this. Kaifeng Mansion sells it this way. The meat braised meat added to the salty ones are made of good sauce and carefully cooked, which is no cheaper than sugar. How do you care about their own tastes?"

After saying that, he left on his own and greeted other guests.

Mr. Kang was so angry that he said to Tsui Hark: "I have never heard of doing business like this. Sweet tofu brains are as expensive as salted tofu brains! If it weren't for the cheap sugar in Kaifeng Prefecture, people in the capital would not live. - Xiucai, the same price, why don't you eat sweet food?"

Tsui Hark said: "Mr. I like this taste. I am used to eating it and can't change it for a while."

Mr. Kang shook his head repeatedly, thinking Tsui Hark was incredible. How good sugar is, why candy is not eaten by people? Tofu brain was not popular before, but Du Zhongxiao launched it in his restaurant and spread it from Xuzhou to Kaifeng Prefecture. Because it tastes convenient and has a smooth taste, it became popular quickly. Du Zhongxiao ate exquisitely. In addition to adding sauce, scallion, coriander, etc., he also made meat braised and poured on it. However, soon, someone invented the way to add sugar to it, which was quickly popular. At this time, the sugar was still a luxury item and was expensive. The staff did not eat sweetness, but the food was spent money.

In Xiangzhou, the price of sugar is indeed more expensive than Kaifeng Prefecture. What is more important is that the salty ingredients are cheaper, and one bowl of sweet is equivalent to two bowls of salty. What is Kang Yuanwai’s identity? Of course, he is choosing expensive food. When he saw that the salty ones were only one idea, he was a poor man.

Mr. Kang shook his head and had to invite everyone to eat buns, drink tofu brain, and feel the sweetness of the sugar inside. Kaifeng Mansion is different from other places. The sugar added inside is sufficient and has a particularly delicious taste.

After eating buns and drinking tofu brain, Mr. Kang said to Tsui Hark: "Scholar, I heard that Mrs. Wang has an uncle in the capital, right?"

Tsui Hark said: "It's true when he returned to the office. Her uncle and aunt cherished her very much, so we came to the capital to join us."

Although these two men and women were husband and wife, they looked a little embarrassed. Mrs. Kang said it was a escaping marriage, which was very likely. Mrs. Kang asked someone not to mention these things, but said: "I heard that the little servant of the Wang Guanren had met a female fairy in his family. I can know the past and the future, but I don't know whether it is right or not?"

Tsui Hark said: "I have heard of this. However, I will not hide it from the outside, this matter is not as magical as it is spread outside. We know the details. The little shepherd was fascinated by ghosts, a little crazy, and often talks nonsense. Some people say that it is a prophecy and can know the future, but not many people are effective."

Mr. Kang was stunned: "Why, isn't everything effective?"

Tsui Hark smiled and said, "How is it possible! To tell the truth to the official, it only works a few times. Sometimes when we chat, anybody talks too much, there will always be a chance to get it, right? But the little shepherd got crazy and was just spreading the crowd outside."

Mr. Kang was a little disappointed: "This matter is so widely spread, I still feel that it is a bit supernatural. I heard from you, but it is useless. I will not hide it from the scholar. My grandson in my family has been married for several years and has never had any children. I wanted to ask a young official to ask if I have no grandson in my destiny or my grandson in my destiny. My wife and I are old, only Dalang has one son, and the rest are daughters, so we can't break the incense. If we ask clearly, Dalang is destined to have no descendants, so I will take a concubine, and the wife does not object. It's better to have another son and grandson to follow the incense."

Tsui Hark said: "Mr. The little shepherd said very well, so I dare not believe such a big thing. If one is saying something bad, he will still have no grandson in a few years. Wouldn't it be delayed? In my opinion, it's better to take a concubine very early and have another son."

Mr. Kang thought for a while and nodded.

At this time, it is not easy to take a concubine according to the law. A man must be over forty years of age without a child. However, there are many solutions. It is not employed by the concubine in the name of a concubine, but in the name of a maid, a maid, a singer, etc., and it is more common to spend money to send it out after giving birth. Although the status of a concubine is not as good as a wife, there is always some legal status. If the master dies, he can divide some property. However, there is no such trouble in other names. The master dies and does not have the right to divide the property. Even if there is a child, the property is distributed to the child, and it has nothing to do with the woman in name. This kind of female hired is actually not a concubine, but people are used to calling him concubines, which is actually different. In this era, hiring is popular, and hiring someone to have a child, which is commonplace. Just like later generations, they are vague in the law, and sometimes the woman does not strongly oppose it.

This is true for Mr. Kang's family. If he is really sure that his son cannot have children, Mrs. Kang will hire a concubine for her husband. This kind of woman hired is different from ordinary people. She does not care about intelligence and ability, does not care about youth and beauty. She wants to be able to have children. Married women who have given birth are the most popular. Definitely establish a contract, how much time, how much money is spent on giving birth, how many boys are, how many girls are not allowed, and how many children are not allowed when the time comes.

In this era, personal sales contracts were recognized, but with time limits, they also stipulate what they were selling. Selling labor is an ordinary slave, and this kind of ability to sell body and have children is another kind. Unlike previous dynasties, the seller no longer has the same property, but is still a people under the rule of the country. If he is beaten, scolded and abused, he has the power to sue the Lord, and the court provides a certain degree of personal protection.

But no matter what, no one can guarantee that no emotional entanglement will occur when a man sleeps with a woman. Once a relationship occurs, the male owner has the right to give wealth to the woman, and the female owner has no means of restraint. It is precisely because of this that Mrs. Kang has been struggling.

Taking a concubine for the sake of having a child is different from sleeping with other women for beauty. Mr. Kang is not keen on. He would rather spend some money to find a little lady outside to sing songs. Those women have the means to serve men comfortably, which is interesting.

Just as Mr. Kang was discussing this with Tsui Hark, a person next to him came over and told Mr. Kang: "This official, if you want to ask yourself the incense of your descendants, why not go to Master Gao!"

Mr. Kang looked up and saw that it was a young man, with his heart open and his body was covered in embroidery. He asked, "Who is Master Gao?"

The man said, "Master Gao is a Taoist monk. He has a magical body of medical skills, he cures diseases and saves people, and does countless good deeds. He has encountered gods and immortals, and his magic is extremely wonderful, and he can know the past and the future."

Mr. Kang thought for a while and shook his head: "I have come to Kaifeng Mansion several times, and I have never heard of Master Gao."

The young man laughed: "Master Gao came to Kaifeng Prefecture not long ago, how could you hear it? This master originally traveled around the world, but only met noble people. For the sake of the welfare of the people in the world, he had to come to Kaifeng Prefecture. I just heard you discuss what kind of officials in the Wang family can travel with gods and immortals. It is all a lie to say that the current officials are difficult to be born in the official family, which means that he met a fake god. There is a prince in the official family who is wandering among the people and has grown up and lives in the shop opposite to Master Gao. How could he have a difficult child!"

After hearing this, Kang Yuanwai was surprised: "The prince is wandering among the people? This is Kaifeng Prefecture. If there is any incident, how can I not be sent to the palace?"

The young man said, "What do you mortals know? Master Gao can figure it out that this prince has some difficulties and must be left to the people to suffer. He will only be able to achieve his merits next year. When he enters the palace to recognize his relatives with the official family, he will be the crown prince of the current dynasty!"

When Tsui Hark heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What crazy words! Where is this kind of thing in the world!"

This young man is Quan Erlang. He has been with Gao Ji'an for so many years and has long believed in this matter. He heard Tsui Ke's questioning and couldn't help but stare at him and said, "Look at you as a scholar, I didn't expect to be so unsighted! Do you know Emperor Xuan of Han? I inherited the Han throne in the Song Dynasty. This prince is the story of Emperor Xuan of Han back then, and everything is determined!"

Seeing that Quan Erlang was speaking seriously and did not dare to neglect, Kang Yuanwai hurriedly asked Tsui Hark: "Scholar, which dynasty Emperor Xuan of Han was the emperor?"
