Chapter 404: Brain Burning
Shen Xingnan was named the Beijing official of the second grade, and he needed to be busy with many things, he had to go to Gyeonggi Wei to hand over, take his cronies to officially take over Gyeonggi Wei, sort out various affairs, and put his own manpower in the right position, which was enough for Shen Xingnan to be busy.

In addition, the emperor's birthday is approaching, and the envoys of various countries have come to Beijing to congratulate, and the entire capital will celebrate day and night for three days, and the burden of guarding the safety of the capital will naturally fall on Shen Xingnan's shoulders.
At present, Shen Xingnan is busy every day, and these things at home are handed over to Li Yunbao to deal with.
For example, Hou Hai, Zhang Dali, Ge Juju and others, because they fought with Shen Xingnan, there was no shortage of seized booty and money, and because of their merits, the emperor rewarded a lot of gold and silver property, so although they could not afford to buy a house in the west of the capital, they had no burden to buy in the east of the city.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the east is rich and the west is expensive, and the east is full of rich people or officials with poor official status, while those who live in the west of the city are all nobles, of course, Shen Xingnan and Li Yunbao live in the west of the city and live in the big mansion of the former Weiguo Mansion.
Speaking of the Patriotic Mansion, we have to mention the recent period of busyness.
The avant-garde Guogong Mansion is too big, think about the previous Guogong Mansion where the masters lived are still spacious, it can be seen how wide this Guogong Mansion is.
At the moment, I live with a family of four, even if I bring a maid, a mother-in-law, a small servant, a guard, and a few lightning special teams that need to stay, that place is more than enough.
Because he was in a hurry to move in, Li Yunbao had no choice but to let his subordinates selectively repair and clean, first repair the front door project where everyone wants to live and the front yard hospitality, and then slowly find someone to repair it in batches.
As the rightful owner of this house, Li Yunbao obeyed Shen Xingnan's wishes, and lived in the main courtyard with him.
As soon as Li Yunbao moved in, he felt that the entire mansion was empty, thinking of the people who lived in the mansion before, and couldn't help but think of Shen Xingxi and Shen Xingbei.
Speaking of these two people, Li Yunbao asked Shen Xingnan when he was cleaning up the house, and learned from him that these two people would not live in the current Auxiliary General's Mansion with Shen Changyi, Li Yunbao was relieved.
There's no way, she's also scared in her heart, she just wants to live her little life quietly, and she doesn't want to get involved with Shen Xingnan's father, although they split up on the way to the extreme north, it doesn't mean that Shen Changyi can be left alone when she returns to the capital now.
Even if it is for Shen Xingnan's career to go smoothly, this face-saving effort has to be done.
In the end, Shen Xingnan told himself that there was no need to worry, the division between the two rooms was already very clear, and he had already reported to the Ministry of Rites, and he was not afraid that someone would make a fuss about this matter.
It is determined that the people in the two houses will never merge into a fast life, and Shen Changyi will be supported by Shen Xingxi and Shen Xingbei in the future, and his family only needs to pay some money every year for the sake of Shen Changyi is Shen Xingnan's biological father.
After Li Yunbao learned about it, he couldn't help but praise his previous actions, fortunately, he had never been short of Shen Changyi's pension money, and Li Yunbao knew that no matter how much money he loved, the problems that could be solved with money were not problems.
They have never delayed the share of money they should pay, and now that they have returned to the capital, even if Shen Changyi wants to do something again, they don't have to be afraid.
Taking advantage of Shen Xingnan's time, the couple asked someone to calculate a good day, repaired the tomb of their grandfather and grandmother, and invited the tablet back to the ancestral hall in Fuzhong to be enshrined.
Although the house was suddenly raided, but the tablets in the ancestral hall were not destroyed, everyone took great pains to confiscate the property, where will care about these wood, so these tablets were fortunate to be preserved, but a thick layer of ash accumulated.
Speaking of the emperor's birthday, Li Yunbao had to work hard to find a birthday gift a few days in advance.
As for why she bothered so much, it was because she learned from Shen Xingnan that on the emperor's birthday, there was a special link to offer birthday gifts on the spot! It's going to die! I can't embarrass my husband!
Li Yunbao is really worried about this matter, I don't know how many brain cells have died, it's too brain-burning!
There are many taboos to give birthday gifts to the emperor, you still have to offer a heart, you can't find a few valuables to offer and it's over, not to mention anything else, the emperor is rich and not bad for money! And the emperor's vision and appreciation, needless to say, is spicy.
Gold and silver jewelry? Excuse me!
Antique calligraphy and painting? No way!
Strange stone monsters? Someone must have sent it already!
Or do you want to make an auspicious fortune? Look for trouble!
All kinds of ideas didn't work, and Li Yunbao was also irritable, so he had to take advantage of Shen Xingnan's time at home to discuss with him.
"Anan, what kind of birthday gift do you think we should be looking for! It's really embarrassing, why do you say this year is suddenly going to hold a big birthday banquet? Ahhh......h
Li Yunbao looked at her husband with blank eyes, and the resentment in her mouth couldn't help but be reborn.
"Don't worry, there's still time, let's find out slowly. Don't want to be a blockbuster and stunning four, but it is enough to be error-free and decent. ”
"Well, do you want to take the bland route and not seek to get ahead?"
"Hehehe, isn't my husband afraid that you will hurt your brain!"
Li Yunbao glanced at her husband, but her mouth was talking about her thoughts in fragments.
For example, she thought at the beginning that she would simply take out one of the Western clocks they had seized together, but then she thought about it, isn't this sending the bell to the end! Then Li Yunbao was cowardly, and he was afraid of causing trouble for Shen Xingnan, so this idea could only be abandoned.
Then she thought of the musket again, she thought that the gunpowder had come out, and it was not difficult to make a musket, not to mention that there were references in the space.
But this road was also vetoed by Shen Xingnan, and Shen Xingnan couldn't stand it, and what Shen Xingnan said was right!
This gunpowder is rare and similar to something, and it won't be taken out casually at all, and the craftsmen who made artillery earlier were all wrapped up by Emperor Shengde, and now he suddenly made out the musket again, and the emperor's face was small, which led him to suspect that his family had a big heart of disobedience!
Rainbow Dash thought of something else, otherwise she would have worked hard and made a three-tiered cake for the emperor.
As a result, as soon as Li Yunbao said this idea, Shen Xingnan directly rejected it, and according to his explanation, Li Yunbao understood the reason.
That's the Emperor! How strict the supervision of what the emperor eats, Li Yunbao knows a thing or two after watching the TV series, and he has also done it in this Great Holy Dynasty.
You said that you offered a big cake, not to mention whether the emperor could eat it or not, even if the emperor was happy and liked it, and ordered it to be cut and eaten on the spot, but what if someone wanted to poison it? After all, there are many people in the palace, and there are so many processes to enter the palace, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will use this to do tricks!
If that's the case, then they really can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River!
So when all the ideas in his mind were vetoed by Shen Xingnan, Li Yunbao was also full of resentment, and he bit him on Shen Xingnan's chest with hatred, and he didn't forget to mumble and complain.
"So what do you think we're going to do? What kind of gifts?"
