Tong Ying's new errand is Luan Yiwei's envoy. This is a very high position, but it is somewhat unexpected for Tongying.

He had thought that if he didn't go back to the military department, he would most likely be sent to the Ministry of Rites again, after all, he had done a good job there before. Even if it's the other four ministries, it's a good errand, of course, if it's not a troublesome place like the household department, it's the best.

When he discussed privately with Shuning, it was very likely that there were two other yamen. One is the Zongren Mansion and the other is the Imperial Domain. The former is because his father, Prince Jane, once ran the Zongren Mansion, and now there is a vacancy in the Zongren Mansion, and this position has always been held by Baylor and Beizi. As for the latter, it is because he is quite familiar with Mongolia, and he can get twice the result with half the effort by doing relevant errands. Both of these yamen were places where he could enjoy leisure, but the only concern was that he was too young and might not have enough qualifications.

It turned out to be Luan Yiwei's envoy.

Luan Yiwei was in charge of the chariot and honor guard of the emperor and empress, mainly to handle the chores of palace etiquette and the safety of ceremonies. Shangguan is the minister of honor and health of Luan, and the military attache of Zhengyipin, Luan Yiyi, is under him, and he is probably about the captain of the honor guard. This kind of errand had to be carried out by someone trusted by the emperor, and the work was somewhat cumbersome, requiring careful and cautious work, but it was easy to make mistakes. The chief officer of the Luan Yiwei has never been able to sit firmly in his seat for a long time. Today's Minister of Honor and Health is said to be an experienced old man who started as a Zhiyi and is very likely to retire in a year or two. The emperor asked Tongying to be a Luan envoy, and I don't know what the intention is.

Tong Ying waved his hand: "That's it, the will has come down, I'll do it." Anyway, I have been working in the Ministry of Etiquette for a few months, and I know a little about the affairs of the army, and this position of military attache is quite suitable for me. Wait for two years. If you can be promoted to the head of Luan, it is best to be the Minister of Guard, and if you can't, then go to the Zongren Mansion or the Lifan Yuan to find a seat. ”

Since Tong Ying said this, Shu Ning didn't think much about it anymore, so she got up early on the day of the business trip, got up early, got some official clothes, shoes and hats for Tong Ying, and accompanied him to breakfast. Send him straight out. Then, she took care of the housework at home, prepared a nutritious lunch, and sent someone to Luan Yiwei near noon. Of course, Feng Guard, Sun Guard, and other entourages should not be missing. Employee benefits are important. Even his attendant Tian Yang also carried a small snack to satisfy his hunger.

At first, she could also think of it as sending her husband to work. Although Tongying has to go to the palace every day to go on an errand, she can definitely go home for dinner before evening, so her life is not uncomfortable. But it didn't take long. The trip to Mount Wutai, which had been postponed due to Prince Kang's funeral, began again, and Tongying had to drive to Mount Wutai with the saint.

In the days of his absence. Shuning felt panicked in her heart. It's strange to say, since the two hadn't seen each other for a year and a half before, and they didn't miss it to this extent, how could they have only been separated for a few days, and she didn't even have an appetite for food? I always fall asleep in the middle of the night at night, and my spirit is naturally not good during the day. As a result, she could only quietly take Tongying's homely clothes out and hold them to sleep, so that the situation was better.

I know that I am like this because I miss my husband. But Shuning knew she had to find something to do to divert her attention.

According to the news from various industries in the prefecture, the grain cultivation work on the Zhuangzi has been completed, and he is currently busy with flowers, melons and fruits. Shuning instructed the people of Zhuangzi to renovate the water conservancy facilities during the slack time. He also specially transferred Friday, who had relevant experience, as a guide.

She also transferred Zhuangzi's previous land accounts to see the current spring and summer seasons. Flowers and melons and vegetables are generally sold, only in autumn and winter, they sell better, probably because when the weather is warm, other Zhuangzi also have these products, and the hot spring Zhuangzi can only show benefits when the weather is cold.

Therefore, she specially asked someone to interrupt the work on Zhuangzi and recruited Zhuangtou to readjust the industrial layout. In spring and summer, in addition to leaving two or three acres of land to plant some seasonal flowers and plants, most of the flower fields are replanted with flowers with higher economic value, such as those that can be used in medicine, tea fields, and varieties that can be made into spices and perfumes. Ornamental flowers can also be planted some, but peony this flower is planted according to the flowering season, autumn and winter are no longer cultivated, so as not to say that it will take a lot of effort to cook other hot springs, Zhuangzi has it, it is better to spend on its head, manpower and material resources on other flowers. In the cold season, more festive and popular flowers can be sold to large families in Beijing to decorate the bottles.

Some flowers that are not marketable and have low practical value are no longer planted at all.

In order to find a sales channel for the product, she also specially went to find her second aunt, Suo Xuan, Luo's Invalian, and the color shop itself uses flowers to make skin care products or perfumes. However, Valerian Caifang is now gone, and it is just a tool kept by the second aunt to make friends with other noble ladies or to befriend the nobles in the palace, so Shuning did not put her hope on it, but through the second aunt, she knew some merchants who did this business, so she asked Manager Yin to open up the way.

On the other hand, she remembered that some of the flowers in Fangshan's garden were sold to tea shops or pharmacies, and she also asked the housekeeper to find a few shops with good reputations. In other places, because Zhuangzi already has a fixed sales path, she will not change it.

However, because there was an occasional lotus root flour workshop, she had cooperated with Changping Zhuangzi, so she told Wang Yin and asked him to negotiate with others, which was to find a place for the production of dozens of acres of lotus ponds in her own marriage.

Tong Ying got two shops and a restaurant from Prince Jian's mansion, most of the people used in them were old people, and Shuning saw that they were doing well, so she didn't take care of it, but now she was busy looking for things, so she could only see what articles could be done.

:// The two shops, one is a silk shop, and the other is a business that sells the four treasures of the study, which is okay, but after careful investigation, there are many problems.

She inquired about the silk shop, and was told that it sold everything from low-quality coarse silk to expensive brocade, but the expensive and high-priced goods were difficult to sell, and they were all accumulated in the shop. When she learned the location of the shop, she understood the reason a little. It was in the outer city, where ordinary wealthy families and Han officials lived, and the location was excellent, but the clothes were too expensive, and not everyone could afford them. However, those who can afford it often have stores where they buy clothes regularly. The shopkeeper had wanted to get all the customers from all walks of life, but he neglected to buy the brocade land, so how could people shop in a store that sold inferior coarse silk? However, the cost of those expensive fabrics is extremely high. The money is pressed there.

So she called the shopkeeper and asked him to figure out what kind of customer business he wanted to do, and suggested that he should only do business with middle- and lower-class customers according to the sales situation he had been doing. You can sell some good materials of high quality, but don't buy those goods that are tens of taels and one horse. The shopkeeper was troubled for three days, and finally agreed that all the expensive clothes would be bought by Shuning at a 20% discount, and used for favors or personal use. From now on, the silk shop will only do the business of ordinary wealthy families or official eunuchs, and no longer hope that any royal palace will suddenly take a fancy to their materials.

The other sells the four treasures of the study. It turned out that Tongying had always made a meager profit for the convenience of painting and filial piety to the teachers, but it was often patronized by people who wanted to befriend Prince Jian's mansion, so it seemed to be maintained well on the surface. Shuning asked the shopkeeper and looked at the goods he brought, and now it may be because the shop does not have an exclusive workshop, so he can only buy the goods of other people's workshops. Then sell it. And some workshops with cooperative relationships have their own backgrounds, and the quality of the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone produced is not the best, which cannot be compared with the Songzhu Zhai in the Liuli Factory.

She always remembers pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. It is the best Songzhu Zhai in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also a paper shop in the south. So he asked his cousin Fu Ning for help, and went to the comprador family to inquire about the good workshops in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and asked Manager Yin to find two reliable family members to accompany the shopkeeper to the south to find a good source of goods. As for the original workshops, after inquiring about the relationship behind them and inspecting the quality of their products, only one paper-making workshop and one pen-making were left behind, and the others were all called. Among them, only one workshop is only engaged in Beizifu shop, and the quality of the business is not good, and Shu Ning learned that their family only has a daughter who is married to the son of the Guerjia clan's companion, so she unceremoniously terminated the cooperation. is already at odds with the Guerjia clan, so there is no need to pay money for the sake of worrying about this relationship.

After cooking like this, she felt that the industry was smoother, and she was relieved. But when I was a little idle, I inevitably thought of Tongying in my heart. Although he sent two letters back from Wutai Mountain, it was inconvenient to go out, and he was on an errand in front of the emperor, so he couldn't keep in touch with Jingzhong often. Therefore, Shuning felt that she really missed him very much.

As a result, after taking care of the housework, she started public relations again.

She wasn't a sociable person, and since she married into Beizi Mansion, the people she has been dating are mainly people who Tongying has befriended. At present, in addition to her mother's relatives, she only has the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother and several clans who have close contacts. It's a pity that the whole family of Prince Kang's Mansion keeps filial piety, lives in a simple and simple way, and has little contact with the outside world, I don't know if it is to let the previous rumors gradually dissipate.

Even Shuning or the big house sent things in the name of Susu's mother's relatives, and in the past, they were brought into the house by a special person, and they talked to Susu for a quarter of an hour or two, and then they were sent out of the house by a special person, and they couldn't stop other places or other people at all. Fortunately, judging from the reply of the person who sent it, Susu is now much healthier, and when the weather is warmer, she will surely recover better.

The third elder brother's mansion is the closest to Beizi Mansion, so Shuning has more contacts with his family Fujin, and Sanfujin has even come to visit the garden twice. While praising endlessly, she wondered why there were several places without names or plaques, and enthusiastically said that if she couldn't think of a good name, she could ask the third elder brother to help her.

Shuning smiled and opened the topic, but she was a little disapproving, why did her garden have someone else name? Before, she didn't think it was necessary, but now she can't stand the criticism of other people.

So she consulted Mr. Shi, and called Xiaobao and Shige to help come up with ideas, and after thinking about it for a few days, she finally decided on a few names. The pavilion in the pine forest is "Breeze and Snow Shadow" by Mr. Shi, the pavilion bridge in the middle of the lake is the "evening wind boat" that Shuning thinks, the bamboo house is also her "Mu Feng Lying Bamboo", the shore with lotus flowers is the "Lotus Wind Creek Language" that is really thought, and finally the "Bijing Pavilion" of Xiaobao is the house on the edge of the Wangge.

All the names were temporarily written on scrolls, and they were hung up, and when Tongying came back and nodded, he went to make plaques.

As a result, when Sanfujin came back, he saw that these places had already been named, and he was a little regretful, but he quipped: "Why is there wind characters almost everywhere?" Why don't you call this garden the Garden of the Winds? Shu Ning had no choice but to write down the scroll, and only said that she would wait for Tongying to come back and then decide.

As for the fifth elder brother's mansion, Wufu Jin Yuanning is still in the palace, and it seems that she has the intention of waiting to give birth in the palace, Shu Ning can only send some medicinal materials and supplements to the Wubeile Mansion, as for whether she can receive it or not, I don't know.

The fourth elder brother's mansion is the most frequent, Shuning is the one who comes because Tongying and the fourth elder brother have always been friends, and she herself has some ideas; second, I have known Yumin for a long time and get along well; The third is for Wanning. After all, they are both traversers and sisters from the same family, and they can't be abandoned.

Sometimes she sent things herself, sometimes she helped Nala deliver them, and of course she had them checked to make sure they were okay before agreeing. As she sent things more often, Wan Ning's attitude gradually became less indifferent, and sometimes she would chat with her about the current situation, and once even invited her to the courtyard where she lived.

The courtyard was slightly larger and more palatial than the one when Wan Ning was at home, but there were many people waiting for it, and it was a little cramped. Qiaoyun has not been here since she got married, and when Wanning mentioned her, she just said lightly: "It's not good for people to go to high places, and it's not good for me to stop other people's Qingyun Road." ”

But Yanyun couldn't hear these words and interjected: "Why did the girl say that again? Sister Qiaoyun is also good for you, didn't you see her send you things twice in three days? We usually eat and wear better than before. A girl with a raw face on the side pouted.

Shu Ning coughed lightly and asked, and the needle and thread on the table tore away from the topic. As a result, Yanyun replied first: "That's the embroidery made for the Dharma, and I will do it with the girl and I will send it to the temple in a few days." Wan Ning glared at her and let her go down, and then said slowly: "I heard that there was a famine in Shanxi, and I wanted to do a ritual to pray for blessings and blessings, and several of them were interested in participating." ”

Shuning paused and asked, "Is the silver enough?" Would you like to help? "It's a lot of money. Wan Ning coughed twice and turned around: "Enough, you don't have to worry about it." It didn't take long for the tea to be served to the guests.

Shuning returned to the Baron's Mansion and told the Nala clan about Wanning, looking at her non-stop chanting Buddha, she suddenly had an idea: "Instead of often sending clothes and property to the past, the eldest aunt should do some good deeds in the name of the second sister, help the orphans and widows, give medical treatment and medicine, etc., if it is inconvenient, you can also donate money to the temple that often does good deeds." "There are several major Buddhist temples in Beijing, and there is a tradition of fixing soup porridge and clothes every ten years, which seems to be an old example left by Yuheng when he served as the governor of Shuntian Mansion. The Tong clan would instruct the housekeeper to send money and goods to the Huguo Temple every quarter, and Shuning herself had a similar practice.

Nala's eyes lit up: "It is said that it is better to have more good karma and Wanning's reputation." With that, he hurriedly went to Zhang Luo.

Shuning sighed and went back to Huaiyuan on her own.

Tongying is finally back. The husband and wife are young, and the newlywed Shuning sticks to him, and he has any requirements at night, and he half-pushes and half-follows on the spot. Since then, the young couple has been like sugar and honey.

In March, the emperor decreed the canonization of the princes, of which the eldest son Yin was named the king of Zhijun, the third son Yinzhi was the king of Chengjun, the fourth son Yin was the king of Yongjun, the fifth son Yinqi was the king of Hengjun, the seventh son Yin, and the eighth son Yinju were Baylor.

Tongying's title has not changed, and he and Shuning are finally convinced that the previous rumors are just rumors.

In the blink of an eye, Hallomy is approaching again.
