The hall was very lively, and there were no outsiders anyway, so the tables and chairs were all replaced by upholstery and blankets, and the two stoves were burning warmly, providing a constant stream of heat.

Rong Qingqing and Qin Yuwan and Jiang Yun sat together to play flower cards, and unexpectedly lost again, and later after Zhao Qin's joined, Rong Qingqing could finally win one or two times.

Bai Qing and Li Meng were playing chess, and Lu Zhen was the judge.

Lu Chengyan and Yao Yan Gu Sheng and others played pitchers and darts, and later attracted Lu Er and them to join in, and then directly began to fight in groups, and the losing side was responsible for washing dishes today.

Uncle Fu looked around, and finally sat next to Lu Zhen, because this place was the quietest.

After playing around for a while, it was noon, and just in time for the snow outside, everyone sat together, and there were several stoves lit, ready to eat pots.

Sister Qin's craftsmanship is unique, a bone broth, a spicy taste, and a three-fresh one, all based on personal preference.

The small stool that was originally used for footing has now become a simple small table, and everyone sits on the soft cushion and eats happily while shabu-shabu......

Yin Sheng and Master stood outside the gate of the Lu Mansion, looking at the closed gate for a long time, before Yin Sheng said, "What's the matter?" Is there not a single gatekeeper? ”

"Lord Prefect, it snows heavily today, who would have thought that we would come to the door." The master said with a wry smile.

Yin Sheng said and tapped the door again, but no one answered.

The master persuaded and said, "Lord Prefect, let's wait in the carriage first, it's too cold outside." ”

Yin Sheng frowned and said, "When will it take to wait in the carriage?" With that, he looked left and right, picked up a stone, and then pulled down a piece of red silk cloth from the evergreen tree outside the gate of their Lu Mansion, tied it, and threw it directly into the house.

"Lord Prefect, if they eat in the backyard, they won't be able to see it if we lose it so much." The master said.

Yin Sheng was stunned for a moment, then estimated the time and said, "No, this time should have been over a long time ago......"

At this moment, the door of the Lu Mansion was slowly opened, and Lu Er scratched his head, grabbed a stone in his hand, and looked at Yin Sheng and Master with an innocent and blank expression.

Yin Sheng was embarrassed for a while, then looked at Lu Er and said, "Well, none of you are guarding the door......"

The master pursed his lips and chose to shut up.

After a while, Yin Sheng and Master were invited to the hall, and Zhao Qin immediately prepared two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, invited them to Lu Chengyan's side, and warmly entertained: "Come, eat the pot." ”

The master waved his hand and said, "We have already eaten." ”

Yin Sheng directly took the dishes and chopsticks and thanked him: "I've eaten it, I've eaten it, people are hospitable, how can I refuse." After that, he landed next to Lu Chengyan, and then began to shake the mutton.

The master lowered his head slightly, Lord Prefect, this is really a habit of rubbing rice, it was a little cramped at first, but now he has done it himself, could it be that Mrs. Prefect didn't give her food today?

"If it weren't for Lu Er to get the vermicelli, I guess I wouldn't know that you were outside, with such a heavy snow, could it be that someone would report to the official and ask you to avenge your grievances?" Lu Chengyan asked curiously.

Yin Sheng waved his hand and said, "You wait for me to finish eating, and we'll talk in detail after eating." ”

Lu Chengyan: "......"

Master: "......"

I have to say that the grain reserves of Lu Mansion are really very rich, only what you can't think of, and there is nothing that he doesn't have.

According to Lu Chengyan's words, this is too much hard life, so there is more surplus food in the house.

But in fact, according to Uncle Fu, there is a place to store it anyway, of course, it is stored while the price is low, and in the current snowy weather, some meat can even be hung directly outside the kitchen and frozen.

After lunch, then Lu Er and the others put away the pot and firewood stove, and everyone had to go back to rest, Jiang Yun also helped Qin Yuwan back to the room. After a while, only Yin Sheng, Master, Lu Chengyan and Rong Qing were left here.

After Rong gently brewed a pot of hot tea, he sat next to Lu Chengyan.

"The prefect has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so it won't be any trouble." Lu Chengyan asked.

Rong looked at Yin Sheng lightly with a little apprehension, it won't be that the New Year will not make people have a good time.

Yin Sheng waved his hand and said, "No, don't worry, it was the prince who asked me to come to you." ”

Lu Chengyan immediately asked vigilantly, "What's the matter with the prince?" ”

"That's right, His Majesty the Emperor wants the crown prince to govern Song'an County after the year, several counties around Song'an County are relatively poor places, and the disaster of the previous year has not been fully recovered until now, even if the imperial court has been exempted from taxes, but it still can't be recovered. But fortunately, the place was only poor, and there was no epidemic of epidemics. ”

After Yin Sheng said a long paragraph, he first opened the lid of the cup and took a sip of tea, and then continued: "The crops in that place seem to be a little weaker than other places, and they grow very slowly, but there is no problem in terms of water quality or soil quality, so the prince wants you to go with you after the new year, of course, you can take your wife with you." ”

Lu Chengyan's first reaction after listening to it was, what does this matter have to do with me?

His Majesty the Emperor asked the crown prince to govern that place, probably to train him, and also let him see the suffering of the people with his own eyes, and to be a Ming monarch in the future.

And he Lu Chengyan, doing business in Kyoto, why did he go all the way to that place and take his little wife to endure hardships with him?

"I'm not going." After thinking about it, Lu Chengyan directly rejected it in one bite.

Rong glanced at Lu Chengyan lightly, and then looked at Governor Yin, who was directly stunned on the spot, and understood everything in an instant, and immediately pulled Lu Chengyan's sleeve and said, "This is recruiting talents." ”

"What?" Lu Chengyan frowned and asked.

Yin Sheng put down the cup in his hand, exhaled helplessly, and said: "I said it directly, the prince thinks you are very useful, so he wants to include you under his command. ”

Lu Chengyan heard it very clearly next time, and immediately refused: "Don't go." "He is doing well in business, living a good life, he still has to run to endure hardships, and he has to be swept to the court, who wants to go, who goes, he won't go anyway.

The master was stunned, glanced at Rong on the side, and asked softly, "Young lady, ...... is Young Master Lu?"

"He doesn't want to be an official." Rong said apologetically. To be precise, although they are in the camp of the crown prince, if they can not get involved in court disputes, they still don't want to be involved.

After hearing this, the master suddenly realized.

No wonder, it turned out that this Young Master Lu didn't want to take a career at all from the beginning, so he didn't pay attention to the olive branch handed by the prince at all.
