The entire Lu Mansion is filled with the smell of busyness, everyone has a job to do, and there is no idle moment.

Pearl Xianglan and the two of them held the list of purchases in their hands and carefully checked them.

Su Xiaoman looked at the ledger in her hand and was worried, she felt that she might have a grudge against the ledger.

She has sorted out a lot of ledgers in the past year, and she may have to sort out the treasury in the future.

Huang Fengyi looked at her with a look of scratching her head, so she flipped through the expenses in the mansion and said.

"It's almost the New Year, why are you sad, you should be happy."

Su Xiaoman was helpless, she didn't want to be sad, she was quite idle when she wasn't an official before.

But first of all, I have to do things in the court every day, so the management of things at home may not be perfect.

Besides, there was Lu Li before, how could it be the same.

Su Xiaoman adjusted his state, then looked at the incoming account, and said casually.

"It's not that there are too many things, if it's the New Year, it's a good meal. Wouldn't it be nice to omit those who don't? ”

Everyone present shook their heads, very unwilling to admit that she was the wife of their own family.

Huang Fengyi chuckled, the movements between her fingers were already very skillful, and she comforted.

"It's beautiful, but it's nothing, there's no need for the amount, the matter is arranged for the next people, isn't it okay to check this account?"

Su Xiaoman also knew that it would be better to give it to scares, but she just wanted to check it together.

After all, she is in a high position now, what if some unscrupulous people are doing something to her?

Su Xiaoman carefully checked the accounts, accidentally read the wrong item, and then responded to Huang Fengyi and said.

"That's right, after checking this account book, I'll buy some delicious food in the neighborhood."

In the end, when I found that the accounts could not be reconciled, I started to calculate them again.

After discovering an item that I didn't calculate, I compared the two items with each other, and I also knew what the problem was.

After verifying it clearly, Su Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, although it was not a large amount, but it was also dirty money in the imperial court.

Lu Li was also here at this time to check on Donglan's situation in the past year.

But Lu Li was by no means looking at things like account books, he checked the year-end summaries of various departments in the DPRK and China.

In addition, there are summaries sent by the prefects from each province.

Because it was too much, he called the eunuch next to him to check it together.

The end of the year is approaching, everyone is busy, although the positions are different, but they are not idle.

In the evening, Su Xiaoman and the others had already sorted out most of the accounts.

In less than a day, the things in this house will be sorted out.

At this time, Pearl Pandan had already finished sorting out the things she had purchased, and was standing beside Su Xiaoman to help her clean up the account books.

Before they could get up, they saw Lu Li coming in from outside the door.

Lu Li looked at the three people who were busy, they all looked up at themselves, then walked up to sit down, and then asked.

"What's wrong? Surprised to see me? ”

Pearl Xianglan, Xiao Tong and others respectfully saluted Lu Li.

Su Xiaoman also got up slightly, gestured, and then said.

"Of course I'm surprised, this is a busy time, you don't work in the palace, what are you doing when you come back to the Lu Mansion?"

In fact, Lu Li had already worked very hard to sort out the twists and turns, and as soon as he looked up at night, he found that it was not early.

Thinking that a minister said today that he would take Xiao Man to pray for blessings, so he wanted to come to the Lu Mansion to tell Xiao Man, so he spoke.

"There's something I want to tell you about. Prepares you. ”

In addition to informing, the most important thing is, of course, to see her.

Although the two have always met, they have met on official business, and they still miss it in private.

Huang Fengyi is also a discerning person, thinking that the two of them haven't been alone for a long time, so she got up and said.

"You two talk first, I may be tired today, so I'll go down and rest first."

When she said this, everyone present was clear-minded, and it was not to create space for the two of them.

Pearl Xianglan and the two of them will find a reason, and when they saw Huang Fengyi get up, Pearl said.

"Madame, it's not too early to get hot. The two of us sent Miss Fengyi back to the courtyard. ”

Su Xiaoman knew that they had good intentions, so he also approved them and asked them to send Huang Fengyi.

Lu Li watched their performance while drinking tea on the couch, and from time to time his eyes swept in Su Xiaoman's direction.

Of course, Su Xiaoman noticed his gaze, and he didn't pay attention to it, so he instructed Xiao Tongdao.

"Take these ledgers with you, and you can sort out the rest and show it to me by tomorrow night."

Xiao Tong looked at the ledgers on the table, although he scratched his head a little, but he also agreed quickly.

Seeing the messy appearance of the desk, Pearl and a few people kindly stepped forward to help and said.

"Let's help too! You may be struggling alone. ”

Seeing Pearl Xianglan and the two tidying up the table, Xiao Tong was very pleased.

Whenever this happens, he feels how lucky he was at the beginning.

Now I have food and drink, and I still have things to do every day, and although I can't go out, I am very happy.

After Su Xiaoman finished explaining, he bypassed the desk and walked straight to Lu Li's side.

After Huang Fengyi and the others went out, Lu Li put down the teacup in his hand and motioned for Su Xiaoman to come to his arms.

There has been no intimate contact for a long time, and Su Xiaoman is not a person who twists, the two of them are old husbands and wives, so they blushed and crashed into his arms.

Lu Li was hit and almost opened up without holding on, but fortunately he had some skills here.

The study was quiet, and the fire in the brazier was burning, making the whole room warm, not at all as cold as in winter.

"Lu Li, do you think this room is a little hot?"

Maybe it's because of the stove, so Su Xiaoman will feel hot.

Lu Li didn't think so, looking at the hot stove, he pulled out the person in his arms.

I saw that Su Xiaoman's whole person was flushed, too

I don't know if it's shy or if it's really too hot.

Lu Li stretched out a free hand, fanned Su Xiaoman, and then said.

"Maybe the fire is too strong, and I will order someone to press it in a while."

After Su Xiaoman calmed down, he kept his distance from Lu Li and asked.

"You said you had something to discuss with me, what is it?"

Lu Li looked at Xiao Man sitting beside him, and had already thought about how to say it, so he said.

"Isn't this a blessing arrangement? I want you to be there too. ”

Su Xiaoman was puzzled, this prayer for all civil and military officials will be present, why did he come here to find him?

Lu Li looked at Su Xiaoman's puzzled expression, and then said.

"It's not as a scholar, but as a queen."

Su Xiaoman frowned a little when he heard this, the last time he met with the envoys, he had already broken the rules.

At the moment, I am afraid it is not appropriate to let her attend as the queen.

No matter what she thinks, the ministers in the court are forcing her to return to the back seat.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoman's brows furrowed even more, and then he stumbled and said.

"No matter how you say it, it's a little unreasonable, and it may damage Donglan's image if it is spread out."

Lu Li, who didn't affect it, didn't think about it, he just thought about it as long as Xiaoman was happy.

Besides, after she was sealed, it was also an early thing, and after Donglan became strong, Xiaoman would definitely be by his side.

Because of this matter, the ministers have already discussed with him, as long as Xiaoman attends, he will never be forced to return to the posterior position.

With reliable information, Lu Li was relieved to preach to Xiaoman.

"Xiao Man, rest assured, those ministers don't mean to embarrass you, it's just that this prayer is equivalent to a sacrifice, and the lack of the main position may really damage your image."

That's right, in general, large-scale national events are attended by the emperor and queen, so there is no laughing stock.

"If this prayer spreads, the current emperor is praying alone, wouldn't it be a laugh for the people of the world? What do you say is the face of the emperor who is the emperor? ”

Su Xiaoman looked at Lu Li's appearance, and burst out laughing, he didn't expect this man to be so cute.

At the same time, I heard that the ministers had no intention of threatening her, so they agreed to this arrangement.

After the two finished chatting about serious things, they began to talk about family life, and the night was slow, in fact, one or two sentences could be explained.

The cold wind outside the house is bleak, and the house is also full of spring, and the warm tent is a spring night.

Seven or eight days later, the day of prayer quietly came.

Seeing that tomorrow is the day to pray for blessings, the embroidered girl's clothes were sent to Lu Li's hands.

It just so happened that Su Xiaoman was still in the palace at this time to help check the folds, and after the clothes were delivered, he asked her to take a look.

In fact, the embroidered ladies have been preparing for the emperor's dress, and the embroidery on the fabric has been prepared a long time ago.

After receiving the task, the embroidered fabric was carefully spliced together.

Similarly, the queen's costume is the same, and the pattern of the headdress has been designed a long time ago.

So although the task is urgent

, but the workmanship of the clothes is not a trace of roughness.

The two stuck together, looking at the clothes in their hands, two sets of dark red dresses.

All the embroidery is embroidered with gold thread, and the dragon and phoenix embroidered on the clothes are lifelike.

Su Xiaoman touched the phoenix with wings spread behind the cloak, and was ashamed of himself, but he didn't expect that the embroidery girl in this palace was indeed a good craft.

The golden-pink phoenix was on top of the dark red fabric, and it had the appearance that it was about to fly out in the next second.

It's so smart that it can't be expressed in words, which makes Su Xiaoman very fond of it.

Looking at the amount of gold wire, Su Xiaoman thought of the person who embezzled before, and used gold wire to make door and window stickers, so he sighed.

"It's really exquisite, the color is atmospheric and not popular, and it's very durable. The gold wire is also extremely luxurious. ”

Lu Li was now behind Su Xiaoman, and he didn't look at the clothes at all, but stared at Su Xiaoman tightly.

Because his Xiaoman looks good no matter what he wears, such a dress matches her temperament.
