"Liu Yuan, I'm back so early." Seeing Liu Yuan returning home, Du Sanniang hurriedly walked over and untied his armor for him, and Xiaoniang also untied the horizontal knife for him.

The two of them are happy to do these things for them, and they don't fake their hands on those Yahuan, especially Du Sanniang, for fear that those Yahuan will seduce Liu Yuan to take the opportunity to take the position, and those few Yahuan who look a little more glamorous are arranged far away from Liu Yuan, and they are just looking for some average-looking Yahuan to appear in front of Liu Yuan's eyes, anti-thief, but her personal Yahuan Xiaodie never guarded against it, and sometimes deliberately asked her to heat water for Liu Yuan in the bath.

Du Sanniang's careful thinking Liu Yuan looked in his eyes, and he didn't care, anyway, he was not an animal who thought with his lower body, and there were a lot of beauties that had not yet been developed, so he naturally didn't bother to dig again.

Liu Yuan asked as usual, "There's nothing going on at home today, right?" ”

The little lady who was in charge of managing the finances said in a low voice: "There is a letter from Yangzhou, after deducting all expenses last month, there are still two thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven taels of silver left in the two shops and a tile kiln, and the old housekeeper has sealed the two thousand five hundred taels of silver in the warehouse, and is ready to call the senior brother at any time." ”

Well, yes, Yangzhou is really a prosperous place, I am not there, and I will let people send some samples and drawings from time to time, and now there is an income of nearly three thousand taels of silver a month, which is indeed very good, of course, this is also inseparable from Cui Xiong's care, Yangzhou Jiaofang Division should be ornaments, all purchased in the Jinyu family, many brothels in Qinglou, will also gather to buy in the Jinyu family, just these two, the profit is guaranteed, which is also the reason why Liu Yuan has been reluctant to sell.

"Well done." Liu Yuan nodded, expressing satisfaction.

Xiao Niang continued: "The study opened by Qinghe also had an income of eighty taels last month, and the silver has been sent over through the express post. ”

Liu Yuan sat comfortably on the leisure chair, enjoying Du Sanniang's massage, while closing his eyes and saying, "Qinghe is a Mengyao place after all. The price of the book should not be too high, eighty taels a month is not bad, by the way, who is the shopkeeper now? ”

"Well, that's like a distant relative of Cui Tingshi, who can write and calculate, and his character is quite loyal and trustworthy."

This can be regarded as selling a face to Cui Tingshi, anyway, Liu Yuan doesn't expect to make much money from the study, let alone wait until the highway opens. That is the business of making money every day, Liu Yuan nodded and said: "Open this study, Qinghe Cui's also sent a message, little lady, let someone send a message to Qinghe's Cui shopkeeper." Half of the money earned in the future will be used for local road repairs and bridges, and for helping the elderly and children. It's also a good deed. Give Meng Yao a long face. ”

"Yes, senior brother, listen to you." The little lady has always been obedient to Liu Yuan, and she responded in one bite.

After the little lady finished speaking, Du Sanniang also smiled and said, "Liu Yuan, I also have something to tell you." ”

"Oh. A good thing, or a bad thing? ”

"General Cheng, General Wei Chi, General Li, General Niu and General Qin all sent people to ask for ice cream, saying that their owner likes it very much, and several old generals can't eat this kind of cool thing. I don't have an appetite for food, so I asked you to make more and send them over, by the way, General Cheng said that his family has a large population, so he has to have double portions. Du Sanniang said with a smile.

In her opinion, these big names of the dynasty are not seen like this, which means that Liu Yuan is very popular, which is very good for his career.

Liu Yuan couldn't help but burst into a rude voice: "These old foodies, I know that I can't give them new things, I always treat Young Master Ben as a free laborer, hum, tell them, no, I still want double portions, what is the population, it is clearly two foodies, and they have a big appetite." ”

Last time, I got the braised pork, a few old guys sent people to send pigs every once in a while, and they were not afraid to eat the wild boar, for a while, Liu Yuan was killing pigs and killing them softly, and they were about to become professional butchers, so it was hard to stop, and now it's here again?

It's not long since the summer begins, so it is estimated that the days of working as a laborer will be long, and Liu Yuan is a little depressed.

Du Sanniang said with a smile on her face: "Husband, how can you scold a few generals, you can thank them." ”

"Thank them? No way" Liu Yuan said unhappily: "Next time, if there is anything delicious, I won't bring them." ”

At this time, Xiao Niang also smiled on the side and said, "Senior brother, seriously, you really have to thank a few old generals." ”

"Even you say that, what do you mean?"

Dai Qisi couldn't help but smile and said: "Young Master, General Cheng sent someone to send a precious hundred-year-old ginseng, General Qin sent someone to present a pair of Hetian Yubi, General Li Jing gave three boxes of the best snow clam cream, General Wei Chi's gift list is six large pearls of the same size, General Niu's gift is the most special, a famous horse flies on the snow, you say, do you want to thank them?" ”

What the?

It's a famous horse, it's a jade wall or something, why are these old guys so generous? By the way, Liu Yuan patted his head, he was afraid that he would repeat the mistake of braised pork last night, and told them that it was very troublesome to do this, and the cost was very high, these old generals were greedy, and they were not too embarrassed to take advantage of their juniors in vain, so when they asked their subordinates to ask for it, they also brought gifts.

"Ha Luha, I want Xie Lu Xie, I want Xie Lu Xie to thank a few old generals" Liu Yuan patted the leisurely chair and sat up happily.

Let them take a lot of advantage, and they have to swallow their anger, but now it's good, the ice cream doesn't cost a few copper plates at all, they have sent such valuable things, and they don't even get it back with interest at once? Liu Yuan, who was a little depressed, jumped up with joy all of a sudden.

Ice cream, this can be available.

The ice cream is actually very simple, but if it is done too quickly, it seems that he coaxed them, Liu Yuan first took a beautiful bath, and then finished dinner with the three girls in the inner hall, tossing for nearly two hours, and then distributed the ice cream one by one to those who were in a hurry and sent them away.

When they were all gone, Liu Yuanqiang resisted the temptation of the two beauties, returned to the study, lit the candles, spread out the paper, picked up the pen, and began to plan the things to be dealt with the night after tomorrow.

Liu Yuan didn't see it, and asked for a double copy of Chengfu's subordinates. At the bend, the two separated, one returning to the palace, and the other holding a special pass pass, walking in the direction of the palace

And Li Er in the Lizheng Palace, the whole person was also a little absent-minded, while criticizing the chapter, he looked at the door from time to time, he didn't know what to do, he felt hot in his heart, and said to the two palace maids who were in charge of fanning the wind around him: "Use some strength." ”

"Yes. The Emperor"

Last night, I had been calculating the cost and cost, so that the gong of the second watch rang for a long time, Liu Yuan fell asleep with a tired face, and the next day, it was three poles before Shi Shiran got up.

"Senior brother. Don't you want to see the emperor? Not a little earlier. While waiting for Liu Yuan to dress, the little lady buried and said, "Don't go to bed so late in the future." It's not good for your body. ”

Liu Yuan said with an indifferent face: "It's okay." I just wanted to see the emperor, so I got up late. ”

"For what?"

"It's simple, if you get up early, you have to go to the early court, I don't want to listen to their nagging, anyway, I have to talk about it in private. It's better to wait for him to finish the morning dynasty and go again, so that I don't have to wait too long. Liu Yuan had already made a wishful thinking early in the morning.

Although there are many benefits in the capital, the most unfree is more than five grades, and you have to go to court every day. Before dawn, you have to get up and freshen up, and then go to the court, and you will be impeached when you are late, and there is no freedom, no wonder that Chai Lingwu has such a cool idle job and does not do it, and is willing to go to the field to be an official, which must also have the trouble of going to the court, it is better in summer, and it is torture to forcibly get up from the bed in winter.

After breakfast, Liu Yuan rushed to the palace at this time.

Fortunately, there was no dispute in the early dynasty today, and the imperial dining room in the palace did not need to kill the sheep and cut the meat for the ladies to prepare the food under the corridor, and Liu Yuan also saw Li Er who returned from the early dynasty in the Lizheng Palace.

I have to say that Li Er is dedicated, there are many beauties in the Tang Dynasty, there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, Li Er also has a soft spot for Empress Changsun, every time Liu Yuan sees him, either in the imperial study where he works, or in the Lizheng Hall of Empress Changsun, even Li Er's main bedroom, the manna hall used to spoil the concubine has really not seen.

After a courtesy from the monarch and the minister, Li Er did not give a seat as usual, anyway, he said with a heavy face: "Liu Yuan, how do I treat you on weekdays?" ”

"The emperor treats Weichen like a mountain," Liu Yuan said with his conscience covered.

Li Er, who picks the door, usually takes advantage of himself and deducts his deserved rewards, to be honest, it is really average, but some words can't be said, so he can only open his eyes and say nonsense.

"Make it up, keep making it up." Li Er said angrily: "Do you think I don't know the way? There must be no slander behind the back, hum. ”

What's going on, now I have worked hard for him, contributed to his efforts, and worked hard for him on the battlefield, but the actual benefits have not been much, Liu Yuan's young age is one reason, and another reason is that Li Er doesn't say it, Liu Yuan also knows that he married Cui Mengyao, naturally he was labeled as the Cui clan of Qinghe, the imperial power and the scholar clan are fighting openly and secretly, Li Er has the intention to suppress the scholar clan, and he can't get out for a while, which is also reasonable.

However, Li Er let Changle Princess Li Lizhi and let her cooperate with him and other matters, and also saw Li Er's mind: as long as you are a talent, then I will use it, the premise is, you have to be under my firm control, it can be seen from the matter of leading the troops, in Tubo, Liu Yuan's soldiers were 500 people, and here to bring the mighty army, it is obviously a tactic created by Liu Yuan, but there is also a Cheng Lao Demon King on it, and the soldiers trained are only 3,000 people, of course, Liu Yuan reduced the personnel himself, that was his own choice.

It stands to reason that this Li Er lost his own, and he usually has a smile on his face, so why did he suddenly become unhappy.

Suddenly, Liu Yuan's gaze froze: on the table where Li Er's batch was folded, there was a round-mouthed porcelain jar, and the pattern of flowers blooming and wealth outside was exactly the same as the one he used to serve ice cream last night, looking at it from the inclined plane, it could be seen that the jar was empty, and it was obvious that the ice cream was eaten by Li Er and his wife, by the way, the old boy of Cheng Lao Demon King, specially asked for a double portion last night, and nine times out of ten he flattered Li Er and paid tribute.

Li Er is now blaming himself for not sending him something delicious.

Nima, you are in the palace, every day the mountains and seas, the best silk you wear, the harem has 3,000 beauties, and you don't see me a point?

"No, if there is, there must be a villain who slanders Weichen behind his back" Liu Yuan said with a straight face: "Actually, Weichen has just made a novel summer relief product, and he has been improving the taste, and now he is almost finished, and he will soon be able to surprise the emperor." ”

"Oh, what's the best way to beat the heat?" Li Er's eyebrows moved, and his tone had softened a lot.

"Ice cream, the emperor and the emperor haven't eaten it, it's delicious, I guarantee that the emperor and the queen like it."

Empress Changsun didn't have as many fancy intestines as Li Er, and said with a smile when she heard the words: "Liu Qingjia, the ice cream you made, General Cheng sent someone to send it last night, and the palace tasted it, it is indeed very good, Zhi'er and Chengyang, the two little guys, fought over it in order to eat more, hehe." ”

Sure enough, it was the old boy of the old demon king Cheng, this guy, who seems to be arrogant, a big boss, but in fact, he is bold and careful, and he will not let go of any opportunity to please Li Er, no wonder Li Er attaches so much importance to the Yang Wei Army, and the position of the boss falls on him the most.
