"Maosheng, you don't have any sense of humor.

That uninvited guest is your third cousin Qi Jiang's wife, Li!

Two days ago, she went to greet Mrs. Xu and met me and Fang Shaoqin.

Li was going to go out of the house with Fang Shaoqin, but later heard that Fang Shaoqin was coming to me for breakfast, so he smiled and said, It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, ninth brother and sister, I will also ask for a guest to do it today.

Of course, I smiled and agreed.

Mao Sheng, I just found out that you are ranked ninth among the brothers of this generation, and Qi Xiao is ranked eleventh, can you call Qi Xiao to be Xiao Eleven Lang in the future!

Li is a cheerful and lively person, she introduced herself and said that she was born in the Baishui Li family of Guanwai County, although I don't know what this place is, but when she said this, a look of pride flashed on her face, I believe it should be a famous scholar in Yandi!

Fang Shaoqin is much better than me in this regard, she immediately talked to the third sister-in-law about the ancestor of the Li family, and the third sister-in-law immediately looked at Fang Shaoqin's gaze a little different.

We had breakfast together in the pear orchard, she was very interested in a mixed pickle made in the small kitchen of the pear orchard, so I wrote a recipe for her, and the next day, she brought her mother's brother-in-law Li Shishi to greet me, according to the third sister-in-law, her younger brother is Li Shishi's husband is a general soldier under you.

Two days later, Qi Qi's wife Cui Shi also came, she came with Zheng's family, and brought me fresh hosta flowers, so I naturally had to receive them warmly. And then you can imagine it.

They come every once in a while, every time they come, they are a large group of mammies and maids, not only I feel tired, but even the maids and grandmothers in the pear orchard are too tired.

Also, this month, the food cost of our pear orchard exceeded the 200 taels mark for the first time. And, I have reason to believe that this record will be broken again one day......"

"Maosheng, you have to be a talker, as soon as you come back. and give me any money that is overspent.

The floor heating pavilion of the pear orchard has been decorated.

I asked people to inlay wooden boards on the walls around them, and then chiseled lattices of different sizes and shapes, which can be used to put books, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and some gadgets, and then put a bed of fine workmanship on the east, south, and west sides, and laid out autumn-colored cushions, and made a lot of large pillows for everyone to lean on when resting.

Everyone said yes after reading it. It's just that the texture of the window curtains is quite controversial. (Jun's son' hall 'first' hair)

Fang Shaoqin said that the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei is good. The sister-in-law in the lobby said that the bamboo curtain with red lacquer was good, but the sister-in-law in the third hall thought that it was not good to hang the bamboo curtain, so she pasted the soft yarn of azure color.

Everyone asked me what I meant, and I vaguely answered.

The Xiangfei bamboo curtain is a pair of silver taels, but the bamboo curtain of gold silk rattan red lacquer is a pair of silver for one tael or eight coins, and the soft yarn is even more expensive. However, if these factors are removed. Personally, I just think soft yarn is better. There are a few banana trees planted in front of the warm pavilion, and in the summer. There must be small mosquitoes, and with soft yarn, it must be translucent and clean.

Now that you are willing to make up for me with the money you have overspended, I have decided to use soft yarn, which is more expensive, but it can protect our tender skin, and I believe you will not object!

Fang Shaoqin gave the Warm Pavilion a name, called Zhuji Pavilion. Also said. It is necessary to set up a Zhuji Society, and in the future, everyone can play the piano and paint together. Drink and chat.

The lobby sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law and Li Shi's family, Zhen Niang all said that this name is good.

Zheng is a silent woman, she rarely expresses her opinions, and when everyone is talking, she always sits by with a smile and asks her anything, and only responds in a low voice. Even she agreed with Fang Shaoqin's proposal, and said that if she really wanted to establish the Zhuji Society, she was willing to pay fifty taels of silver.

I was the only one who tactfully objected.

Places are provided free of charge, refreshments are provided free of charge, and servants are also provided free of charge.

But now it is five votes to one, and my objection is invalid.

Therefore, under the auspices of the lobby sister-in-law, our Zhuji Pavilion opened on June 28.

With Zheng's preface, forty taels, fifty taels, sixty taels, everyone contributed a few parts, Li Shi's came out the most, took a hundred taels out, I thought she was mistaken, but the third sister-in-law said that Li Shi's mother's family is in the money business, and the land is money, so let me accept it with confidence.

Shaoqin and I both came up with a middle number, forty taels.

In this way, we received more than two hundred taels of silver together.

I handed over the silver to Mama Min next to my sister-in-law in the lobby, and asked her to set up a separate account to manage it, and in the future, the expenses of the Zhuji Society will be drawn from above, and everyone will praise it.

Despite this, the chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea in our pear orchard are estimated to be in vain!

That day, Hongyu made a table of wine and food, and we brought the girls from each family with her, Hongluan was very happy, and Gardenia ran around with her on her back, and accidentally collided with Cailuan of the sister-in-law in the lobby, and the children made a coax and quarreled. I was also worried about what the adults would think, but who knows, they only care about talking to themselves, and no one notices at all, and the grandmothers naturally don't dare to say anything when they see me present. It's not good to be more frank with Hongluan, but when it comes to Hongluan, I'm afraid of dampening her enthusiasm to play with her sisters, and I'm worried, and a few children are playing together again.

No wonder people say that children are angry, come quickly, and go quickly.

White worries me!

It's just that the flower garden of Wanqingxuan is pitiful, and it is ruined.

The most interesting thing that day was the Zheng family.

Just drank two or three cups, his tongue was a little straight, and when he saw Fang Shaoqin stroking the qin and singing, he staggered up and shouted with his throat, what he sang, we couldn't understand a word, it might be Gaochang's folk songs or something, but the tone was high-pitched, the timbre was long, and everyone was stunned, I didn't expect such a shy person to make such a loud sound.

Zheng's excitement led to the atmosphere.

Fang Shaoqin sang Liangdi's Xiaoling, Zhenniang sang Jiangnan's minor tune, Cui's sang Yandi's long tune, and everyone rapped and sang. Drinking order, all happy.

It's just me, and I'm going to care about tea and snacks for a while, and I'm going to go to the flower garden to see how the children are doing.

Why can everyone let go of everything to play, as long as me. Like an old mother, after worrying about this, worry about that......"

"Mao Sheng, I received a thick stack of letters from you, and I was excited for a long time, but when I opened it one day, it turned out to be a copy of the treaty you signed with the Gaochang people.

Do you want me to store him for you? Where do you think I put it in my house......"

"Maosheng, it's not that I misunderstood you, it's that you never want to talk to me well!

Honestly. For tax matters. I don't know much about it, so I can't make any substantive proposals for that treaty. But I'm sure you must have thought it through before you list these terms.

The only thing that worries me a little is how the two sides will abide by this treaty sincerely, after all, without a treaty governing mechanism, it is impossible for any treaty to ......automatically enter into force. We were found out by Mrs. Xu when we did the local affairs of the Zhuji Society!

Early this morning, Shaoqin and I still have a sister-in-law. We were all called to Xianji Courtyard by Mrs. Xu, and before we could stand firm, Mrs. Xu reprimanded us with a head and brain, what is not thrifty, vassal elegance, and arrogance, and I was buckled on our heads, especially me, not only extravagant and wasteful, but also aiding and abusive. Finally, we are asked to immediately stop those frivolous acts that do not abide by women's morals.

There are not many people who participate in the Zhuji Society. Except for Zheng and me, there is no mother-in-law to control them. Mrs. Xu of Songzhenin cannot come. Even if Mrs. Wei knew, it was impossible to tell Mrs. Xu, and the Zheng family had Mrs. Zhou's consent, so who leaked the news?

As soon as we got out of the Xianji Academy, we began to check on our respective people.

It may be that our side is making too much trouble, and Mrs. Xu has heard about it. But in the end, what made her confirm the news was a grandmother next to Shaoqin.

I secretly rejoiced in my heart, fortunately it has nothing to do with the people of Liyuan, otherwise, I would really be going to kill!

However, Shaoqindi's methods are ruthless enough, and I heard that as soon as I returned to Peanut Hutong, I immediately made a mistake and killed the grandmother.

In the afternoon, my sister-in-law came to discuss with me, saying that the Zhuji Society was dispersed like this, and she was really reluctant. She has a small manor for the wedding, which is less than two miles outside of Yongzhou City, and if we agree, we might as well change the location of the meeting in the future.

I'm a little unsure, and I'm going to discuss your reply later. To be honest, Duan Yingluo is sick, and I don't think anywhere is as safe as at home.

The others were very excited, everyone said a word, and I said a word, and they all agreed with the proposal of the sister-in-law in the lobby.

But I looked at Shaoqin, who was smiling like a flower and generous and cheerful, but I felt that it was inappropriate from time to time.

She's staying in Qi Mansion for too long......"

"Maosheng, the letter has arrived. I think it's good to know that you are going to erect a monument at the junction of Gaochang and Yandiyuan, and that the responsibilities and obligations of both sides should be written on the monument, as a testimony to the treaty. I just don't know what Mr. Ding's opinion is? Will this attract the attention of Xizhao?

As for whether to go to the lobby sister-in-law's manor, you let me make up my own mind, then I'll watch Shaoqin act. In any case, the blame will not be punished!

Hongluan has been much better during this time, although he still doesn't speak, but sometimes he plays with his sisters and sisters, and when everyone doesn't let each other grab things, he is in a hurry, and he will take a step or two. I think it's good that this is good, everyone has the same status and status, and they are all noble daughters, so that no one will always spoil her and spoil her. And with the faithful Gardenia by her side, I believe she will get better and better. You don't have to worry.

Rong Yang ointment, I think it's better not to be in such a hurry to break, and you don't have to bargain with that Lu Qin, sometimes, people buy a mood, you have to let Hongluan have a spiritual pillar!

Besides, as Zhenniang often nags, it's not that we can't afford to eat!

Let's talk about it later.

Listening to your tone, the matter in Gaochang has been almost handled, when will you leave for Yongzhou, I miss you very much......"

"Maosheng, Liu Mei'er came to see me today!

This is the first time we have met since we got married, she is more beautiful than before the wedding, and the whole person is full of the shy joy of the new bride.

I was glad to see her, and accompanied her to greet Mrs. Wei, and wanted to keep her in Liyuan for the night, but she remembered her husband, and finally had dinner at my place, and went back to Wang's apartment in Qingping Hutong.

She told me that this time she was accompanying her husband south to participate in this year's Xizhao Autumn Festival passing through Yongzhou, and she came to see me, and said that if Wang Gongzi successfully passed the examination, then when the spring of next year is over, they will turn back to Yandi; If Wang Gongzi fails to make the list, they may live in Xizhao for two or three years, and wait for the next year's scientific examination.

It's a pity that I have no one to trust in Xizhao, so I have to ask Shaoqin.

Shaoqin was very enthusiastic and wrote a letter to her cousin Fang Shaochang, and said that Fang Shaochang was a warm-hearted person, and now he was in the ministry.

Liu Meier was naturally grateful and grateful. I took the time to ask Liu Mei'er and asked her if she had enough money.

Liu Meier secretly told me that they had brought a total of 50,000 taels of silver tickets, and if it was not enough, the family would send it over again. He also said, let me rest assured that when I go to visit Fang Shaochang, I will not take money and smash people like a rich man.

I sweated when I heard this, and joked with her, saying, "Am I the one who takes money and smashes people!"

She giggled silently.

I asked her, when did you learn this?

She said that it was Wang Gongzi who said it.

No wonder some people say that women are like strings, and when they meet a bosom friend, they will tune a melodious tune......"
