Sure enough, after Fengcheng, in less than half a day, I arrived at Beikaicheng!

What surprised Du Ziwu was that before the team entered the city, he was greeted by His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty and a large group of subordinate officials of the Beikai County Government.

Speaking of which, Du Ziwu is just a four-grade prefect, and it can be described as a supreme honor to be greeted by His Royal Highness King Tang in person, but Du Ziwu's face is not very good-looking, he turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and made a big salute with King Tang, King Tang hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which are all their own people, Lord Du is so polite, won't he see the outside?" ”

Du Ziwu insisted on finishing the salute, then got up and said: "Although everyone belongs to the courtiers, but in private, His Royal Highness is the respect of the prince, the emperor of heaven, and the lower officials are just a mere jinshi, the so-called noble and low are different, and they should not be reckless." In the Gong, His Royal Highness is the Great Cheng of Qincha, who is in charge of all disaster relief matters in the three northern states, and the lower official is only the governor of Lianzhou, which should be under the jurisdiction of His Royal Highness, and the difference between the upper and lower should not be confused! Although His Royal Highness has compassion, this gift cannot be abolished! ”

As soon as Du Ziwu said this, the faces of several people present changed slightly, and Tang King Yang Quan laughed twice and said: "Lord Du is really an eloquent man, this king is impressed!" ”

Yi'er was in the carriage, she didn't dare to lift the curtain, and naturally she couldn't see what Tang Wang Yang Quan looked like, but listening to the voice, when she was a middle-aged man in her thirties, his tone was calm and full of alto, and he expected that this person must be an energetic and well-chested person.

A group of people at the gate of the city for a while, set off into the city again, Du Ziwu because there is an urgent need to discuss with people because of official matters, so he led people to go with the Tang King, Li and Yi'er in a group of servants and entourage, went to the prefect's yamen, the carriage entered from the side door of the backyard, straight through the second gate, then stopped, when Li and Yi'er got off, there were already workshop wardens waiting on the side, saw the two get off the car, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Li waved his hand and exempted him from the big gift, the warden began to introduce the situation in the backyard of the county government.

The Li family has always been serving outside with Du Ziwu, and the general pattern of these prefectures and counties is still clear, so he asked the warden to pick up the key points, and after saying a few words, he rewarded and sent the warden out, and then took Yi'er's hand and went into the backyard.

It's the first time I've arrived, and there aren't enough people, so I can imagine that there are too many things to deal with next.

Of course, the backyard of the government is not as big as the mansion of a wealthy family, it is not big, there are only two entrances in total, but there are not many of them in the family, and there are only three serious masters, so it is more than enough to live.

The main house in the backyard is, of course, the living place of Du Ziwu and Li, and the place where the main house came out of the east wing was built a partition, and a moon gate was built, so that it became a very exquisite independent courtyard, and I don't know if it was the previous prefect who mentioned a name, called the East Warm Pavilion, Yi'er liked it very much when he saw it, and the Li family immediately asked people to clean up the East Warm Pavilion for Yi'er to live.

Yi'er's own things were almost left on Yang Mill's carriage at the beginning, and she was already empty when she was washed away by the water to the deserted village, and now the clothes she wears are all new clothes that Liuying has not yet put on, but she is thin and small, and Liuying's clothes are a little big on her body, and there is a feeling of looseness, so she cleaned up the gap a little, and Li immediately sent someone to invite the shopkeeper of the embroidery building to come over.

The new prefect makes new clothes at home, where does the embroidery building dare to slacken? Within half an hour, the female shopkeeper came to the door with the embroidery girl.

To Yi'er's surprise, it turned out to be the shopkeeper of Tianwailou, surnamed Yun, but he was about thirty years old, and he only had a simple bun on his head, which seemed to be in good spirits.

The head office of Tianwailou is in Jingshi Yundu, and Beikaicheng is only a branch, but it has to be said that as we all know, Tianwailou is the industry of the Yun family in Lianzhou, and the ancestral home of the Yun family is Beikai, and the family temple and ancestral hall are also in Beikaicheng. Therefore, the branch of Tianwailou in Beikai is by no means comparable to ordinary branches, and naturally, the person who can be the shopkeeper of Beikai Tianwailou is by no means a simple character.

Later, Yi'er learned that the cloud shopkeeper's name was Yun Yi, who was the young lady of the second room of the Yun family, and had married the eldest son of the Ouyang family in Yongzhou Mansion earlier, but unfortunately after less than a year of marriage, the Ouyang prince was seriously ill and died! This Yun Yi is also resolute, unwilling to be widowed in the Ouyang family and wait for death, so he reached an agreement with the Ouyang family, and returned to his mother's Yun family life on the condition that he will not remarry for life.

Of course, these were all things that Yi'er only found out later, and when Yun Yi came to the door for the first time, Yi'er was more interested in the embroidery girl she brought.

The embroidery girl's surname is Tong, needless to say in embroidery skills, she can follow Yun Yi to the door to tailor clothes for wealthy families, how can she not be perfect in embroidery skills? It's just that Yi'er is not interested in the embroidery skills of the young lady, but the young lady who is actually a close disciple of Wei Niangzi.

In Wan County, in the Mingfeng Embroidery Building, Yi'er was very grateful to Wei Niangzi for all her care, but then the incident happened suddenly, and she didn't know how Wei Niangzi was now, so when Tong Niangzi was at her discretion, she pretended to ask casually, and Tong Niangzi only said that she was curious, so she informed Wei Niangzi of the recent situation.

The catastrophe must have had a greater impact on the business of Mingfeng Embroidery Building, but Wei Niangzi itself was in Beikai during the flood, and later His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince Xiangwang made a decision at the mouth of the gorge and kept the embankment, thus resolving the crisis of the embankment bursting and flooding the city, and Wei Niangzi returned to Wanxian!

Knowing that Wei Niangzi was fine, Yi'er was also relieved.

Seeing off Yun Yi and the others, Li looked at Yi'er up and down a few times, and said: "No matter how fast this new clothes are, it will take several days. ”

Yi'er said with a smile: "My daughter is arranged by her mother!" ”

Li grabbed her hand, patted it gently, suddenly remembered something, stood up suddenly, and said, "Look at my memory, Iris, go and clean up and go out with my mother!" ”

Yi'er was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Patronizing the new clothes, as well as the head, if this is customized, it is also a time-consuming job, I thought about it, why don't we go to the jewelry store first, see if there is a suitable style, buy a few pairs of emergency first!"

Yi'er couldn't help laughing: "My mother doesn't look at what time it is, and she still goes to the jewelry store, I'm afraid that before I go, other people's stores are closed!" ”

Li Shi looked at the sky and saw that the hour was indeed not early, so he sighed and said: "Then let's go early tomorrow morning, by the way, you have to find a tooth woman to come over, and you have to buy some more people there and everywhere in the courtyard." Kite, my mother thinks so, this mansion is not big, it is not as good as the Qingxiang Hou Mansion in the capital, as for the manpower, it can't be compared with your sisters in the Hou Mansion, your Dongnuan Pavilion is exquisite, but it is too small, and it is a little urgent to add two more people, so I am going to add three more big maids to you in addition to Liuying and Mama Wang, and add three big maids who are close to you, four rough little maids and two rough mothers-in-law, what do you think? ”

Yi'er was stunned for a moment, and said a little cowardly: "Mother, will there be too many people?" ”

"Where's the more?" Li waved his hand and said, "The four big girls look like a lot, but your future dresses and jewelry, money, silver, and so on have to be taken care of, and those who usually serve and comb their hair are indispensable, not to mention that someone has to watch the food, all kinds of things, and my mother is still worried that the four are not enough!" It's just the rule of the Qingxiang Marquis Mansion, Miss Yan is four close-up second-class girls, so it's not good for your mother to add more to you, so as not to be gossiped about when you return home, and this close person is the most fine, and you have to train slowly, and it won't be able to come in handy for a while! ”

Yi'er's head was a little big, she remembered that Jiang Jufang was the only one who was close to her and another girl at most, and now, she was a little speechless for a while, even if she was surrounded by seven or eight people who were waiting at every turn.

Li Shi was still saying: "In addition to the big girl who is close, the rough maid and the mother have given you half less manpower, if you feel that the manpower is not enough in the future, you are mentioning it to the mother!" ”

Yi'er pouted: "I know, so many people, where can it not be enough?" ”

Li continued: "That Mama Wang is an old man who follows her mother, she is careful, you let her take care of food first, and it is said that illness comes from the mouth, and this food is particularly important, but you can't be sloppy!" ”

"Got it, mother!" After thinking about it, he asked, "Will my father come back for dinner tonight?" ”

Li shook his head and said: "He just sent someone back to reply, saying that there is something serious to deal with, and His Royal Highness King Tang has set up a reception banquet for him, although he doesn't want to go, but King Tang's face always has to be given, so if he doesn't come back for dinner at night, it is estimated that he will come back a little late!" ”

Yi'er sighed, and said with a smile: "Mother, what do you want to eat tonight, why don't I go to the kitchen to fry a few dishes for you, and my mother can also try my skills?" ”

Li quipped: "Why, my kite can still cook so well?" ”

Yi'er said seriously: "It's just that it's not doing well, if your father is not there, let your mother point out first, so as not to show her stuffing in front of her father!" ”

Li Shi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "You little hoof, dare to let your mother be a companion to eat, so as to please your father?" ”

Yi'er snuggled into Li's arms and said, "Who told my mother to love me?" It's just that the things made by the kite are really hard to swallow, and my mother won't laugh at me! ”

Li spread his hands a little helplessly, and then said: "Forget it today, after a day's road and clean up this and that, you are also tired, and when you have time in the future, my mother will have a good taste of my kite's craftsmanship!" ”
