Zhulan and the others went to the eldest yard, so they got up and took Liu Ya to the kitchen, and chatted with Xue Han as they walked: "The big goose I bought yesterday hasn't been stewed yet, and it happened to be stewed at noon, no, I'm going to take a look, and I've gone to buy something in the kitchen today." ”

Since Zhou Shuren decided that Zhao and Zhou Lao Er would go to Sichuanzhou, Zhulan took back the rights to the kitchen, and Zhulan handed it over to Xuehan.

Xue Han estimated the time and said, "The purchaser should be back." ”

Zhulan said: "Your sister-in-law's father and mother came overnight. ”

If you rest at night, you should go to Lizhou City in the evening, not in the morning, these two people did not go with the convoy, in order to save money directly with the four eldest grandsons, along the way only spent the money to rent a carriage and sleep in the open.

Zhulan took Xuehan to the kitchen, bought it back, the benefits of the border city Lizhou City will not lack mutton, this time I bought half a sheep back, and also bought chickens, ducks, fish, etc., Zhulan counted eighteen dishes, and explained to the kitchen, "The dishes are all salty, and there are stewed rotten ones, by the way, the staple food at noon is steamed buns, and what snacks have you bought today?" ”

Steward Ding's eldest daughter-in-law, Lixia, said: "Mastermother, I bought dim sum from Ruyi Shop today. ”

When Zhulan heard Ruyi Shop, she thought of Shi Qing, and she didn't know if Shi Qing was admitted to the show this year.

Having said that, there was no wishful shop in Lizhou City last year, and the newly opened one this year, Zhulan said: "The second room, the third room and the young lady's yard each leave a plate, and the rest are sent to the big room." ”

Xue Han said: "Mother, don't you and your father eat?" ”

Zhulan, "....... I won't eat it this time. ”

Can she say that she has eaten enough?

There are still frozen pears in the ice cellar of Zhulan's house, and Zhulan asked Liu Ya to bring some to the big house, and Li's father and mother must not have eaten breakfast.

In the courtyard of the big house, Li Xu watched his daughter show off, it was already winter, and the girl turned out her cloak.

Li put them on one by one, "Mother, do you look good?" ”

Li Xu didn't dare to reach out and touch it, "It's beautiful." ”

Li smiled, "This is given to me by my mother-in-law, mother, this cloak is fifty taels!" ”

Li Xu quickly retracted his hand, and his voice was very loud, "What, just a cloak?" ”

Where is this cloak, this is several acres of paddy fields!

Li smiled, "Yes, mother, don't ask me how I'm doing, you look at the cloak, and then look at my jewelry to know how good I am, and my mother told you, my mother-in-law bought me a dowry, and I am also a person with a shop." ”

Li Xu's knew that his daughter had made some money, but they were all made in the Zhou family, if there was no support from her mother-in-law, her daughter really couldn't make a prescription, and her daughter-in-law got the money to her mother-in-law, and now she listened to her daughter's meaning, her mother-in-law didn't ask for a penny, and it was recorded in her daughter's name, Li Xu sighed with emotion: "Your mother-in-law is really good to you." ”

Li Xu smiled, "Mother, my mother-in-law is good to everyone." ”

Just don't step on your mother-in-law's bottom line, your mother-in-law is actually very talkative.

At noon, Li Xu didn't change the ready-to-wear clothes that Boss Zhou bought, her own situation is like this, she doesn't feel that the family background will become thicker after changing clothes, she packed up all the clothes, these clothes can be worn when she goes back, and she can generously say that this is the son-in-law's filial piety.

Li Xu looked at the sumptuous meal, not to mention how happy he was, and said politely: "My mother-in-law is too polite, we peasant families can eat anything." ”

She was dazzled by the food on this table.

Zhulan took Li Xu's hand and sat down, "We are in-laws, you are distinguished guests, how can you be casual, come and taste whether it suits your taste." ”

At the men's table, Rong Chuan and Mingyun went to study in the academy, Chang Lian was at Mengju's house, and only Boss Zhou entertained his father-in-law at a table.

Zhulan really doesn't know what her mother likes to eat, because the conditions of the Li family do not allow Li Xu's to have preferences, anyway, the meat is right, and only two of Zhulan's eighteen dishes are vegetarian.

Li knew that his mother was embarrassed, so he personally served the vegetables to his mother, "Mother, you eat more." ”

Zhulan smiled, "My mother-in-law should treat this as her own home, don't be polite to me." ”

Li Xu didn't know what to eat, "You're welcome, you're welcome." ”

Zhulan is happy here, Zhao has no appetite to eat, mother-in-law's attitude towards her in-laws is completely different, when her mother came, her mother-in-law has not seen it in the kitchen herself, and when she thought of what her mother had done, Zhao's face turned red again, and she suddenly found that she was like her mother, she was not welcome.

Now the third brother and sister and the sister-in-law are getting closer again, the third brother and sister have not been in the courtyard of the second room for a long time, Zhao thought of what his daughter said, and ate silently, but fortunately, his mother-in-law gave him a chance.

There are no steamed buns left in the men's table at noon, and the four young men can eat it specially, and there is no oil and water in the stomach all the year round, and the stomach is empty and full of big stomachs.

Li Xu was a little embarrassed, glared at his grandchildren a few times, and Zhulan smiled, "It's a blessing to be able to eat." ”

In the afternoon, Li's father and mother rested for an afternoon, and in the evening, Zhou Shuren came back and found the master to cook the whole sheep in the evening.

Zhou Shuren said enthusiastically: "I must stay for a few more days this time, and when I take a rest, I will take my in-laws to take a good look around Lizhou City." ”

Li Cong's heart, flickering, in his eyes, the county lord is a big official, and when his in-laws came back in official uniforms, he looked stupid, and now he didn't come back to his senses, so he could only accept it with a dizzy brain.

Zhou Shuren, like Zhulan, likes the Li family very much, he looks at the four eldest grandsons of the Li family, it is indeed the genes of the Li family, they are all simple, he and Zhulan can rest assured.

The Li family was warmly welcomed by the Zhou family, and the Li Xu family was completely down-to-earth.

Early the next morning, Zhulan was not in a hurry to talk to the Li family about things, but personally took her mother out of the city to go around the orchard.

In Beijing, the list of children from all over the country was also sent to the capital, and the emperor would not look at it every year, and this year he looked at the list from all over the country, to put it bluntly, the emperor just wanted to see how many people in Lizhou City referred to Zhou Shuren's subsidy policy, and how many people took the high school entrance examination.
