A family of three also has various speculations, none of which are mentioned. It is only said that the Liu family is even busier when they enter Layue. New Year's goods, New Year's gifts are busy.

On this day, Yun Xiang, Zhou and Yun Lian were preparing gifts for Lin Zhifu and Gu Mo. Zhou prepared all the things that the two adults liked, but he still felt that the ceremony was a little thin. "These things in our house are all made by ourselves, which is really a bit light."

When Yun Xiang heard this, he picked up the gift list written by Yun Lian and looked at it, fifty catties of bacon, twenty catties of bacon, two pairs of ham, two pairs of pheasants, two pairs of hares, ten jars of fruit wine, and six boxes of tea are really a lot, but there are no gold, silver, jade, silk brocade. Yun Xiang smiled and lifted the pen, and added two sets of makeup boxes and ten boxes of the best rouge in Hongyanfang at the back.

Yun Lian smiled and nodded, "These ten boxes of rouge are also worth a thousand taels of silver in the capital." Whether it's the new makeup box in your workshop, the workmanship and carving needless to say, but I love your mirror alone, and people see it very clearly. ”

"The one you're talking about is limited in quantity, and it's not so clear what our family sells." Yun Xiang used the mirrors collected in her own space, carefully took the mirror and set it on the makeup box, and she only dared to make ten such makeup boxes. Keep it for your family and those with whom you have better relationships. Others were sold, but they were turned into silver and crossed behind glass, which was much less effective and expensive. It's not that Yun Xiang doesn't know how to make mirrors, but mercury is poisonous, and the protective conditions here can't be met, so she doesn't dare to do it casually.

Yun Lian nodded, "Don't worry." I'll be careful with the one you gave me. But the Lin Governor's Mansion and the Gu Lord's Mansion only send it from the workshop? ”

"Just send the ordinary ones, Zhao Hui's side has already prepared a shop in the capital, and it will open in a few days. I'm going to take one and put it there for the town store. Yun Xiang hopes that Zhao Hui can be a hit, anyway, their palace is hard, so she will hide behind him and collect the money.

Through Gu Mo's matchmaking, Zhao Hui always felt that Yunxiang's family and him were relatives, and besides, he also took thirty percent of other people's shares, how could he refuse? So he paid for a shop in the best area of the capital and opened a shop. It was given an elegant name called Hui Hui Pavilion, and it was intended to open on the eighteenth day of the lunar month.

"Madame, Miss," Qiao Yue, who was beside Yun Lian, walked in and saluted. "There is news from the housekeeper outside, saying that a distinguished guest has come to the door and asked the lady to arrange a table of good meals."

"Distinguished guests? Who? Yun Lian raised her head and asked.

"I heard that it's Lord Gu and our county lord Li is here." Qiao Yue thought for a moment, "His guards said hello as soon as they entered the door. I think it's a good thing. ”

Yun Xiang's mind moved. "At this time, the imperial court should also have something to say about Daddy's promotion of seeds this year."

Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Yunxiang, you can personally order today's dishes." ”

Yun Xiang wrinkled her nose, "I think my mother wants me to cook herself, right?" ”

Yun Lian clapped her hands, "Then I'll also go to help, I've wanted to eat Yun Xiang's dishes for a long time." ”

The life of the family is good, and the Zhou family is reluctant to let Yunxiang and Yunlian go to work again, and there are so many maids and mothers-in-law, and the two young ladies really don't need to cook in person.

Although Yun Xiang personally instructed a few cooks. But everyone always felt that it was not as delicious as Yunxiang's own cooking, so it took a long time. Yun Xiang will also cook to improve the food for her relatives.

Gu Mo is a person who is not spicy or happy, and the new county lord Li is indeed a meat-loving person. Yun Xiang saw that there was everything in the kitchen, and there was pheasant soup that had been boiling for a long time, so she asked her mother-in-law to cut the meat and vegetables, prepared the dipping sauce with her own hands, and planned to eat hot pot.

The new Li County Commander is named Li Jintong, although he has been to Liu's house twice, but it is the first time to eat here. He hadn't eaten hot pot before, so he didn't know how to start, so he just waited to see how others ate before he put down his chopsticks. This chopsticks is really addicted, and he secretly sighs, no wonder Lord Gu likes to dine here.

After eating, a table of people sat together in the living room and drank tea. Gu Mo said slowly and logically, "Lord Liu has made meritorious contributions to the promotion of grain varieties in Qunshan County, and the capital has already given a reward, but this time His Majesty intends to keep a low profile, so he ordered me to convey it, and the officials have also issued an order." He paused slightly and smiled, "Congratulations to Lord Liu for being promoted to the state of Congliupin, and he will be in charge of the promotion of grain varieties in this province in the future." ”

"Ahh Liu Chengshuang was a little stunned, did he rise too fast?

Gu Mo knew that Liu Chengshuang was a little apprehensive in his heart, so he said, "What you are doing now is a big thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and Your Majesty is especially concerned about this part, so you are a little quicker." After all, if your official position remains the same, there is no way to go to the mansion to do things. ”

"That'...... Am I going to do things with Lord Lin? "Since Liu Chengshuang became an official, in addition to staying in the fields every day, he has only been to the county government a few times, when has he been a serious official?

Gu Mo hooked the corners of his mouth, "But he said that Lord Lin will go to Beijing to take up a post in the next year, and the above has already been written, it is to go to Dali Temple." So he was busy handing over official business now, and he really didn't have time to come over, so I took this trip on his behalf. ”

Liu Chengshuang nodded, "But I don't know who the newly appointed prefect is?" ”

"The new prefect An is from the capital, but your immediate boss Guo Yu is the previous state tong, and now he is responsible for money, food, punishment, and prison, you are only in charge of food, and another state is responsible for the rest."

Liu Chengshuang breathed a sigh of relief, and only let himself take care of the food, that's good, he really can't do the rest.

Li Jintong watched it funny below, if it was someone else, he would only be in charge of the same, but people at the same level would be in charge of all other things, I am afraid that he would be indignant, but this Lord Liu is a wonderful person, I am only worried about letting myself take care of it too much!

The news reached the inner courtyard, and the whole family was naturally jubilant. Zhou said happily, "Do we have to celebrate too?" ”

Yun Lian smiled and nodded, "Mother, let's not talk about anything else, didn't you see the big and small girls lying outside the door?" ”

Zhou Shi looked at the door, and sure enough, there was a shadow of people coming and going, so he said generously, "Huayue, tell me to go down, each person will be rewarded with one or two silver, and be happy together, and then ask the big kitchen to make today's dishes more sumptuous, and they are allowed to drink two glasses of wine if they are not worthwhile." ”

Hua Yue hadn't moved yet, she saw Xingyue with excitement on her face and said, "Xingyue, it's better for you to go." ”

Xingyue really agreed, walked out of them in a very regular manner, and shouted happily, "Madame has a reward!" ”

The people in the room couldn't help laughing, and Zhou shook his head, "In my room, the stars and moons are the most lively and young, but I also love her temperament." (To be continued......)
