After learning the news of Li Xiuwen's injury, officials from Kaifeng Mansion came to visit with gifts. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info there are not many opportunities for such a good knot, how can you not grasp it?

They may even be thinking that Master Li's injury is really timely.

After sending the little county lord back that day, Zhu Shaoye got the news and came to visit Li Xiuwen.

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the day of the sacrificial stove.

The sacrificial stove is something that only men can do, and women can't touch it. Li Xiuwen's leg was almost better, so he followed his father to worship the Lord of the Stove.

In many places, the sacrificial stove is a small year, but the small year of Kaifeng is the fifteenth day of the first month, the day of the Lantern Festival.

is the so-called: twenty-three, the priest of the stove; twenty-four, sweep the house; Twenty-five, grinding tofu......

In the past few days near the end of the year, the Li family has been busy up and down, full of festive atmosphere. Tedious things such as cutting window flowers, pasting Spring Festival couplets, and sweeping dust are all going on.

Yang Yuxuan and Wang Bing have also returned, and Yang Yuxuan personally led a large group of people to clean up. Li Xiuwen writes well, and the Spring Festival couplets are naturally written directly by him.

Since he went to the capital to become an official, Li Xiuwen has been busy receiving gifts. In the past few days, my father and sister have been busy going out to give gifts.

The family of businessmen is always inseparable from the support of the government in doing business on weekdays. Taking advantage of the New Year's Festival, it is natural to give gifts to the officials and lords.

Originally, those officials in Kaifeng Mansion were very polite to the Li family. Now that Li Xiuwen has returned to his hometown, they dare not slack off.

In addition, he also gave gifts to the shopkeepers of the Li family's storefront, as well as the tenants under his name.

Li Xiuwen had to sigh that the status of businessmen in these years was not high, and it was much more difficult to do business than in later generations.

Seeing his father and sister go out to give gifts every day, but he stayed at home as a master, Li Xiuwen was a little embarrassed.

But his identity is there, according to the strict rank of the Ming Dynasty, how can he, a high-ranking official in the capital, lower his identity at will and help do these things?

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Yang Yuxuan took a dry female family to make dumplings in the kitchen.

Li Xiuwen said that he wanted to help, but let them drive out of the kitchen with the theory of "gentlemen are far away from cooking". Usually you don't care about these things, but now at home, Li Xiuwen doesn't bother to upset his father.

Compared to the previous life, the men in that modern society. Li Xiuwen feels that men in this era are simply living in heaven. I don't have to do anything, just wait for my daughter-in-law to wait.

Chinese New Year's Eve, eat dumplings.

During the Spring Festival of the Li family, in addition to eating dumplings, there are also sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Hey, this thing is not worth much in the later generations, but it is a rarity in this period, and it is more sought-after than dumplings on the table.

Looking at a group of charming women on the table, Li Hongshen was very happy.

Now that his son has a future, what he cares about most is the matter of inheritance. Although Li Xiuwen never said it, what is the relationship between Dong Xiaowan and others. Li Hongshen firmly believes that these must be his daughters-in-law.

A few more is better, and I can pick up my little grandson sooner.

In the sound of firecrackers in Kaifeng Mansion and the lively atmosphere of the family, Li Xiuwen spent his first Spring Festival in the Ming Dynasty.

The next day, close to noon, Li Xiuwen got up.

Because last night there was a New Year's vigil, and most people don't get up too early today.

After taking his wife to pay a farewell to his father, Li Xiuwen ate something and went out to pay New Year's greetings.

Li Xiuwen came to the palace, bowed to King Zhou after the New Year, and followed Zhu Shaoye to his courtyard.

There is no way, there are too many officials who come to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, and Zhu Gongfang is a little overwhelmed.

Li Xiuwen suddenly remembered that Li Zicheng flooded Kaifeng in history. He opened his mouth to remind Zhu Shaoye to pay attention to the Yellow River's water control.

Today, unlike in the past, Zhu Shaoye is still able to speak in Kaifeng Mansion.

In Li Xiuwen's mind, as long as officials pay attention to the management of the river, they should be able to change some things.

Of course, if you find someone digging the embankment, don't blame yourself for being unkind.

Zhu Shaoye didn't expect Li Xiuwen to talk about this, but out of trust in him, he naturally readily agreed.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhu Shaoye suddenly asked, "When does Hengzhi plan to return to Beijing?" ”

Li Xiuwen thought for a while and replied, "If you stay for a few more days, you will almost have to return to Beijing." ”

Zhu Shaoye said with a smile: "Don't you plan to return to Beijing after the fifteenth day of the Shangyuan Festival?" On that day, the literati of Kaifeng Mansion would hold some poetry meetings. ”

Li Xiuwen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The Holy Lord said that I will be given grace for a few days, and I don't dare to stay until fifteen!" After a few more days of delay, it will be the end of the month. ”

Li Xiuwen was originally the head of the Kaifeng Mansion Trial Case. Zhu Shaoye mentioned this, in fact, he also wanted to use his name to win over some scholars at that time. After all, no one knows who will be on the list in the imperial examination next year. It is always easier to recruit the Magi in advance than it is for them to become a leader.

After hearing this, he remembered that Li Xiuwen was now in the officialdom, and it was indeed inappropriate to leave a handle for others. Although it is the emperor's personal permission, you can take a few more days off. But if a month's vacation becomes two months, it's really a bit excessive.

After leaving the palace, Li Xiuwen first went to pay New Year's greetings to Ma Mingda, Zhao Xiong and others before returning home.

Soon after he arrived at home, Chen Yi came over.

Chen Yi and Li Dong, as well as Sun Mingwen, are all considered Li Xiuwen's cronies. But the things he and Zhu Shaoye planned were not easily revealed to others. Chen Yi and the others just knew what he was trying to do, but they didn't ask much.

As for Zhu Shaoye's side, only Yang Zhen is the only one who knows.

When Li Xiuwen returned to Kaifeng, Chen Yi had already come and reported some things in Kaifeng to him.

Chen Yi has the ability, especially in the area of intelligence exploration. Li Xiuwen occasionally wondered how he had this ability?

But these are small things, as long as he is loyal to himself, there is no need to get to the bottom of it.

Now that the home stadium is in the capital, Kaifeng naturally does not need to arrange too many people. After explaining some things that need attention, Li Xiuwen asked Chen Yi to select some more people and secretly accompany him into Beijing at that time.

Today's Hawkeye, although it has some ability, is still not many. Speaking of the brocade guards of Nanzhen Fusi, there are more people than Hawkeye.

But to develop, it also requires capital. Li Xiuwen's subordinates are all preferential. If you join Hawkeye, it's better to mix well outside, why should people be loyal to you?

Thinking of this, Li Xiuwen understood Zhu Youzhen a little.

A large group of people in the vegetarian food corpse position are mixed with money every day, and they also embezzle bribes and occupy people's land. The taxes are not much, and the war requires money, and the emperor is not poor, who is poor? (To be continued.) )
