In May, the old emperor who had not appeared for a long time finally died, Ah Hao and other important ministers, had to go into the palace to cry again, etc., of course, the ministers' homes also had to hang white vegetarian food, etc., so busy that Geng Qiu had to buy white cloth and other things everywhere, the general's mansion was so big, and there were more than 100 people, just to make mourning clothes, it took a lot of time.

The General's Mansion is no better than other people's homes, most of the people will have done white things in their families, and the family members who have been in the family for many years, where will such items be done temporarily, and they are piled up in the warehouses of others, but when they are useful, they will be taken out. Where everything is like the General's Mansion is temporary, in order not to settle down, it has to be done in the shortest possible time, just buying white cloth has made Geng Qiu run back and forth a lot.

The emperor's funeral is not a trivial matter, and the entire funeral process is quite cumbersome, with many names, and the ministers, clan relatives and others are tossed half to death. Not only that, but the people of Kyoto also have to suffer, not only to ban the 100-day wedding entertainment, but also to mourn, as if the whole country is very sad about the death of the old emperor, in fact, everyone is afraid in their hearts that he will die early and be born sooner. This old emperor has been ridiculous for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that the current prince is powerful, he slowly elevated him, and he is not in good health, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the court, this is good, and the heart that everyone is carrying has finally landed.

When the emperor's posthumous affairs are finished, the crown prince will ascend the throne solemnly, which will have to carry out various activities, although entertainment activities are not allowed during the mourning period, but some ceremonies and ceremonies that should be there are still essential, so busy that the officials in the court and the central government, their legs are almost thin. Geng Qiu sometimes didn't see Ah Hao for a few days. Ah Hao is still a military attaché, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites don't know how many people there are, and they can't even take care of eating.

I finally settled down in the middle of the court, and it was about to take the hospital exam.

In the August college examination, the students of Beixian County School won five more talents, so the matter of transferring Yu Mingyi was re-proposed. This time, after discussion, the DPRK and China discussed that he was transferred to another political and cultural metropolis of the Daqing Dynasty, and Anning Mansion was the supreme governor of the school, and Anning Mansion was only more than 200 miles away from the capital, and the water and land transportation were very convenient, and it was a good place to be surrounded by mountains and rivers.

There are many clans and noble families in Anning Mansion, which are stationed in the royal cemetery, and it is a very lively and prosperous place. There are too many powerful people here, but it has brought a great drawback, that is, the education cause has always been weak, and the government school is almost in name only. Even ordinary people don't pay attention to reading, making Daqing's largest and most prosperous directly under the central government, actually become the most uneducated place, ten years and eight years actually can't produce a show, after the new emperor took office, the first fire burned to Anning Mansion.

Yu Mingyi's reputation is well-known to everyone in Anning Mansion, so no one dares to underestimate the stumbling block behind his arrival. He also had the support of the emperor behind him, and immediately reformed the government and schools in a drastic way, selecting masters and students. This time, he was not as frightened as he was the previous teacher of Beixian County. Now that he has the confidence, support, and experience, the school is in his hands, and it will take on a new look in less than three months.

Anning Mansion is not far from the capital, and Yu Mingyi has free time to go back to the Baron's Mansion in Beijing to rest and rest. At the same time, you can also take your son to get together with Master Zhou, the two have been living a life of less gathering and more separation, and it is not very good. In recent years, Lord Zhou's official fortune has been prosperous, and there are many people who want to tie up with him, and he doesn't have a concubine or aunt, Mrs. Zhou's Fang family has long been a half-crazy woman in the eyes of the world, and Yu Mingyi is not in Beijing, besides, which man is not a group of wives and concubines, so the well-trained beautiful girl and Miss Bianzhi, who was originally a chess piece, were sent to him under various names, and there were always high-ranking officials and clansmen who he couldn't refuse.

Master Zhou is only in his early fifties, not very old, and he looks dignified, and has a very bookish taste, and it is very likely that he will have a few more children if he gets up for a while. There were not many heirs in his family, and Ah Wan still had the surname Yu.

Although Yu Mingyi and Master Zhou are not as affectionate as Ah Hao and Geng Qiu, the two are not all emotionless, and they have become closer over the years, not to mention that there is also a Ah Wan implicated. Therefore, Yu Mingyi didn't want Lord Zhou to really take a few more concubines and make a few concubines out of children, the Zhou Mansion was already chaotic enough. He doesn't want anyone to add trouble to Ah Wan and add trouble to himself, Young Master Zhou is not successful, if Lord Zhou has children, these children will not have to rely on Ah Wan to take care of them in the future. So he can keep an eye on Master Zhou now.

Yu Mingyi was not in Beijing, and Lord Zhou was embarrassed to live in the Baron's Mansion alone, so he had to go back to the Zhou Mansion, although he had been using the excuse that he was too busy with official affairs, he rarely returned to the Zhou Mansion, but lived directly in the Yamen, but he always had to go home to live for a few nights. But as soon as he entered that door, Lord Zhou was in a bad mood. So he likes Yu Mingyi to return to Beijing, and the relationship between the two has become better and better in recent years, and at this time, he can justifiably not return to Zhoufu. In addition, looking at his eldest son, he misses Ah Wan very much, Ah Wan is a smart and clever child, and he was educated quite well by Yu Mingyi. Looking at such a son, Master Zhou felt that the days were a little hopeful, if he was like the fool of Young Master Zhou, he felt that he could die early and be freed. What else do you want to do in this capital?

And as soon as Yu Mingyi comes back, Ah Wan can play with Ah Niu, and the two children have a good relationship with each other, so the relationship cultivated since childhood is quite precious. They can support each other when they grow up, Zhou Daren and Ah Hao actually have something in common, although the two are now in high power, but they do not have the support of the family, they all rely on themselves, if they get off the stage, the family will lose their support, if the future generations do not work hard, they will immediately decline. It is especially important to have people who help each other. This is the advantage that everyone in the world likes to marry each other, everyone is related to each other, and they can be tightly reunited for various interests, making their family more and more difficult to shake.

No, as soon as Yu Mingyi came back, Geng Qiu invited him to the General's Mansion for dinner. Yu Mingyi's Baron's Mansion, although there is a caring chef, and now there is the care of Lord Zhou, it can also make Yu Mingyi live very comfortably. But he also likes to have a good time, and he also has a heart, knowing that after Geng Qiu went to Beijing, life has been difficult, and he can also make Geng Qiu vomit some bitter water and relax quickly.

After all, Geng Qiu's status is too low, and Ah Hao is too high, the gap between the two is not a star and a half, most people in the capital deal with Geng Qiu, but it is only for the face of General Wenwu, in fact, there are a few people who really want to associate with Geng Qiu, in the eyes of everyone, he is just a country boy who can't get on the stage, and he will marry Ah Hao if he doesn't want to be cheeky.

How many people should think of Geng Qiu like this in their hearts, especially those who are not dealing with Ah Hao in the first place, every time they see Geng Qiu, they will not save face for him at all, they are extremely sneering at him, which makes Geng Qiu want to tear up with them, but he only dares to think about it in his heart, and he is even embarrassed to let Ah Hao know. Ah Hao, the general, is not easy, he does a lot of work, and there are many places where others are waiting to make mistakes, and if he is not careful, he may have an accident. The net worth and life of a large family are on his shoulders, Geng Qiu can't help him much, and he can't make trouble for him.

"Great. It's rare to eat the food made by Ah Qiu now. Yu Mingyi said to Lord Zhou with a smile.

"It's not like there is no food at home, I have already asked the cook to cook a lot of dishes that you and Ah Wan like to eat." Lord Zhou said this in his mouth, but his feet followed Yu Mingyi to the General's Mansion. He did not object to Yu Mingyi going to the General's Mansion at all. Yu Mingyi has the most contacts with the General's Mansion in Beijing, and the relationship between him and Ah Hao and Geng Qiu's husband and wife is so good that Lord Zhou doesn't know what words to use to describe them, they are like a family, which makes Lord Zhou a little jealous.

The days when Yu Mingyi came back were very fixed, so not only the two of them came to dinner, but also Liu Zhihua, and even Ah Hao came back early.

"Mr. Yu, Lord Zhou." Liu Zhihua saw the two of them and hurriedly got up and saluted, his official position was the lowest, and he should not have less etiquette, not to mention that Yu Mingyi had a lot of kindness to him.

"Polite, sit down, sit down." Yu Mingyi and Lord Zhou hurriedly said. Although Liu Zhihua has only just entered the ranks and his rank is low, he is very promising, and he is likely to be a high-ranking official in the future.

There were already people who came to wait for tea, and the three of them sat around and drank a cup, and saw Ah Hao coming out of the kitchen, like a child, holding a plate of snacks in his hand, chewing and walking, and when he saw them, he smiled and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, I just stole it from the kitchen." "There is no appearance of the majesty of the general at all.

Liu Zhihua and Yu Mingyi rushed up, snatching a plate of fried lotus root clips from the middle of his plate, Lord Zhou was somewhat embarrassed, he was old, and he was not so close to Ah Hao Liu Zhihua, but Yu Mingyi grabbed it himself, but he also handed him one, so as not to make him look too uncomfortable. This dish can be eaten as a dish or as a snack, and it is not too troublesome to make, that is, it is necessary to have a good pink lotus root and a good meat trap. Due to seasonal restrictions, it is not something that can be eaten every day, although Geng Qiu has taught the cook how to make it, but the taste is that he makes it exceptionally good.

Soon, someone invited them to the dining room, ready to eat, at this time, they don't want people to wait on the side, and they don't pay attention to the rules of eating without saying anything, they roll up their sleeves and grab food, and then drink a few glasses of green plum wine brewed by Geng Qiu himself, sweet and sour and healthy. Geng Qiu didn't like to drink ancient liquor, so he made some green plum wine and fruit wine according to some common sense in his memory. I also drink it with my own family, because I don't get much, and I never spread it.

Geng Qiutuo has lived a good life in modern times, and the dishes he can cook are quite miscellaneous, unlike the cooks in various provinces, there is always a faction, for example, some know northern cuisine, just make northern cuisine, and some can only know southern cuisine. Only Geng Qiu knows a little bit of any dish, plus he created his own, so a table of dishes, there are any flavors, which are much stronger than just eating one flavor, spicy, sweet, salty, steamed, boiled, fried, stewed, everything. The tastes of a table of people can be taken care of. If people who don't know see the dishes on the table, they will wonder if the General's Mansion has raised a lot of cooks, but they don't want to think that this is completely Geng Qiu alone.

There are appetizers before meals, and there are also small desserts after meals, so that everyone can eat very happily, and Yu Mingyi and Liu Zhihua have to pack them back. As for Ah Wan, it was specially made for him, and he could also take it to Anning Mansion to eat.

However, Geng Qiu is busy to death now, and he has very little time to cook, even Ah Hao and they have to wait until Yu Mingyi comes back to enjoy the blessings, and usually Geng Qiu only occasionally adds one or two dishes to them to satisfy their hunger. Geng Qiu's ability to eat, he can't talk about it yet, he will give people jokes, saying that he is just so useful. Waiting for a good Ah Hao wholeheartedly, where did he come from a good day to eat and drink spicy food.

A big man, specializing in cooking, is a ticket for some people, but for Geng Qiu, it is a handle for jokes. Therefore, very few people in Beijing know that Geng Qiu can make food, but those experienced families in Beijing, powerful people, of course, are cooks, and they can also make a variety of dishes, speaking of which, his cooking skills are not unusual.

After eating, Lord Zhou went back to the Baron's Mansion first, Yu Mingyi stayed to talk to them for a while, and Liu Zhihua simply slept directly in the General's Mansion. Anyway, he often does this kind of thing, in Beijing, he has no foundation and no relatives, his only relative, his mother is still in Beixian, and refuses to follow him to Beijing, unless he marries a wife and has children in Beijing, he will come. The General's Mansion was the only place he could come and stay overnight.

Because Liu Zhihua is not young, everyone in the same year has become his own son, and his family affairs have become everyone's heart disease. There are many people in Beijing who want to get him as a son-in-law of Tanhua, but there is the emperor watching from the side, and it is difficult to start with a high and powerful person, and a person with a poor family background does not dare to start, so that he is not low or high, so he is so single.

"Zhihua, what are your own plans?" Yu Mingyi asked.

"Don't worry, fate hasn't arrived yet, look for it slowly." Geng Qiu said that Liu Zhihua is only in his twenties, in modern times, he is a young man, and it is not a problem to get married in another ten or eight years, but here, people who are not married at his age have become a rare thing, and there will be people muttering behind his back that there is something wrong with him.

"While going, what to find slowly, a few years later, Ah Niu can marry." Ah Hao pushed Geng Qiu away and said with a smile.

When everyone heard what he said, they were stunned for a while, and after a while, Liu Zhihua laughed violently: "General, you don't want to hug your grandson, this Ah Niu is only ten years old, or you might as well have another one yourself." After speaking, he still looked at Geng Qiu, and his consciousness was to say, don't you don't work hard, no, it's been so long, and I haven't seen Ah Hao conceive again.

Yu Mingyi laughed out loud by Liu Zhihua's words, pointed at Ah Hao and Geng Qiu, laughed so much that tears came out, and shouted vigorously: "Ouch, I'm laughing to death, Geng Qiu come on." ”

However, Ah Hao also looked at a certain part of Geng Qiu thoughtfully, he wanted to regenerate, but this body had already been recuperated, and the two of them were extremely affectionate, as long as they had the opportunity, they would always linger, why did this stomach have not moved, he is not young at this age, and he will not be able to give birth soon if he wants to, and he will not be able to give birth in the past few years.

Geng Qiu was so troubled by them, he simply didn't say anything, and directly dragged Ah Hao back to the room, anyway, they had been chatting for a long time, and the people sent by Lord Zhou to ask Yu Mingyi to go home had run twice, and it was time to rest.
