After the beginning of spring, the weather warmed up, and the snow on the street gradually melted, making the road muddy, and Fu Yin Yuheng felt that this was too ugly, so he organized a large group of civilians to clean the road, and did not pay a single money, but provided two meals of porridge water that was not too thin.

As the city became cleaner and cleaner, the number of people coming and going in the city also increased. In the spring of this year, the government began to re-establish the special places for activities in the city, such as where to open markets, buy and sell goods, where to set up stalls and live for entertainers, and where to deal with coal, garbage, dung, and other things. No carriages outside the city were allowed to enter the city, but were to be parked at the guards' offices set up near the gates of the cities, and ten dollars were paid for every two hours, but there was a special person to take care of the horses. After entering the city, twenty or thirty large carriages with long boards were also parked in the city gates, each with number plates from one to six, and one was driven out every two quarters of an hour, and the people who got on the carriage were two cents each. These carriages are divided into six routes, passing through various yamen, major markets, scenic spots, downtown streets, residential areas and other places where people go a lot.

After a period of adaptation, these measures were basically approved by the people inside and outside the city, but some people thought that the carriage care fee was too expensive, and the practice of not allowing the carriage to enter the city caused inconvenience to the people, and questioned that the government was taking the opportunity to collect money. But Yu Heng and his subordinate officials have launched a series of measures to help the poor and the weak, so that these people are not good at talking.

The ownerless and dilapidated houses that were open to beggars in the winter continued to be open to them, and the yamen did not charge them money, but required them to keep their houses stable and clean. At the same time, the price of a big broom per person and two steamed buns and a bowl of gruel per person per day was exchanged for these people to clean the streets and alleys. In this way, the beggars will not starve to death, and they will not lie on the side of the road because they have nothing to do. For ordinary civilians, it is to maintain a free clinic day every ten days.

Fu Yin Yuheng was once again rewarded by the Ministry for his outstanding political achievements, and wherever he went, his face revealed a high-spirited atmosphere. He himself didn't expect that he had just reported a few measures such as buses and carriages, beggars sweeping the streets for food, and free clinics to Lord Chen, but he didn't expect that the adult listed so many new policies in his reply, which made him admire. Although he just acted according to orders, he was rewarded by his superiors, and almost all of this credit was his own, how could he not be grateful to Lord Chen to ten points? He was determined to make better results so that he could repay Lord Chen for his kindness. As for those who gossip, it's just jealousy, and he won't care!

The boss's decision directly affects the subordinates. Recently, Zhang Bao has been going home more and more late, and a few times he even went home at the end of the day, he was busy all day, and his face was much thinner. Tong was very distressed, and changed his way every day to make him delicious and nourishing food and soup. Because he was still busy with housework, he simply handed over the marriage of Xiao Tao Xiaomei and Ma San'er to the second sister-in-law.

Xiao Tao still looks like she is talking about gossip all day long, although she is about to get married, she is more stable, but the country is easy to change, and her nature is difficult to change. No, the scholar surnamed Su who met on the street last time was pulled away by something, this mystery was finally solved after Xiao Tao heard from many sources, plus Xiang'er personally got confirmation from her relatives who lived nearby.

The bed was piled with red cotton cloth and cheap satin, and there were three or four sewing baskets, Xiaomei and Xiaotao sat on both sides of the bed, holding the unfinished wedding dress in her hand, and Xiang'er on the other side of the door also came to help, pulling a red rope and wrapping a new bamboo basket. This is used for wedding cakes on wedding days. Shuning sat on the bed and watched Xiaomei's needlework, embroidering with a purse in her hand.

Xiao Tao said the news she heard vividly, and Xiang'er supplemented it from time to time.

Xiao Tao: "It turns out that the scholar last time, who was very good-looking, was called Su Heda, and lived in a house in Nanxiang with a few poor Xiucai, I heard that he was very knowledgeable, and the people around him asked him for help when they encountered problems." The last time he was called away, it was a butcher, and the person who had an accident seemed to be ...... It seems to be ......"

Xiang'er: "It's a cook, chubby." ”

Peach: "Yes, that's right, it's a cook." This cook was going to work, but suddenly his stomach was upset, and his boss didn't allow him to pull it in the store, so he had to go to a friend's house and borrow an iron bucket, and sit on it to pull it, who knows...... Hee-hee......"

Shuning: "Who knows? What do you mean? ”

Xiang'er: "Hee...... Who knew that after he finished pulling, the bucket stuck to him, and he couldn't get it down no matter how hard he tried! Hee-hee......"

Xiaomei: "What kind of nonsense is this?" ”

Xiao Tao: "The cook was so anxious that he couldn't get the bucket down, and when he was in a hurry, he fainted, and his wife and children were frightened." Later, Mr. Su went to see him and told him to be placed on the ground, and then he asked the blacksmith for a sharp knife, which pierced the bottom of the barrel with all his might, and the barrel fell off. ”

Xiang'er: "The contents of the bucket are leaking all over the floor, and they stink ......"

Xiaomei: "I don't listen to this kind of nonsense, and you don't want to talk about it in front of the girl." ”

Peach: "What's this?" It's just a joke, I know you're noble, you're serious, you talk to your man, don't let us lowly people defile you. ”

Xiaomei was so angry that her face turned white, and she was about to get up and scold, but Ma San'er's voice came from outside the door: "Sister Xiaomei, is the girl there with you?" The third grandmother called her over. ”

Xiaomei's face turned red, and Xiaotao snorted: "There are other people in the house, why do you just call Xiaomei?" ”

Shuning went out of the room, saw Ma San'er's blushing face, and probed her head to look into the house. She pursed her lips and walked away with a smile.

When I got to the upper room, it turned out that Ya Po brought a few girls to Tong to pick, to fill the vacant position of Xiao Tao, and Tong had already taken a fancy to two. Because she was waiting for Shuning's maid, she was specially asked to decide. Shuning carefully looked at the two girls, they were both twelve or thirteen years old, one was fair-skinned and had high cheekbones, and the other was a tall, red-faced, and black-haired Northeast girl. Shuning picked the latter one. Tong asked her real name is Sanniu, and she was disgusted, so she changed her name to Chunxing, and first handed it over to the second sister-in-law to discipline, and ordered Xiaotao to teach all the rules of the waiter to the newcomer.

The days passed quickly, spring went to summer, and when the girls all changed into light summer clothes, Xiao Tao got married. The Wang family is a city service villager, so Xiao Tao has to go to their village first to prepare for marriage. The day before the wedding, the relatives of the man's family sent a carriage to pick him up, Xiao Tao kowtowed in front of Zhang Bao Tong's family, and said goodbye to Duanning Shuning and everyone in the family, and saw his deed of sale turn to ashes in Tong's hands, so he shed tears, brought a few large bags of luggage and a box of dowry, got into the carriage and left. Shuning's family will not attend the wedding, only Changfu will go to drink wedding wine tomorrow as a representative. The groom official Wang Da Niu, Shuning has seen it once, tall and honest, he should be a reliable person.

Less than half a month later, it was Ma San'er and Xiaomei's turn to wedding.

Early in the morning, Brother Ma wore a big red flower on his chest, pulled Xiaomei, who was dressed in red and replied shyly, kowtowed in front of Zhang Bao and Tong's, worshiped heaven and earth, received a pair of heavy red envelopes, and was happily welcomed to the new house by a group of servants. It was a newly built small ear room in the backyard, with red letter paper cutouts pasted inside and out, which was very happy.

The main family did not set up a table, so Ma San'er had already asked someone to book two tables in a small restaurant not far from the back door, and invited a few colleagues and a few servants he knew to eat and drink. Children from several nearby families saw him on the street, shouting "Groom, groom", and he smiled and gave them a few pieces of candy. The second sister-in-law stayed in the new house to accompany Xiaomei, Duan Ning and Shuning followed Cheng Kun and Changgui to congratulate her, and saw Ma San'er drinking other people's toasts one after another, as if it was ****, and she couldn't see her eyes with a smile.

Changgui laughed on the side: "Look at him like that, I know, I know that he wants to marry Xiaomei as his wife day and night, and today he finally got what he wanted, so he got carried away like this; I don't know, I thought it was a madman who ran out, and he only smiled at people. Cheng Kun smiled when he heard this: "It is indeed a happy thing to be able to marry his sweetheart, he is drunk and we are there, I am happy today, let him drink two more glasses." ”

Only then did Shuning know that it turned out that Ma San'er liked Xiaomei, no wonder Xiao Tao had a sour conversation when she chatted last time, and she married someone else cleanly, it seems that she knew that Ma San'er couldn't like herself. But the strange thing is this: a monkey-like naughty boy like Ma San'er actually likes a quiet and docile Xiaomei, instead of a lively and cheerful Xiaopeach? This can only be said that radish and cabbage have their own love.

After Xiaomei got married, she was still responsible for waiting for Duanning's daily life, and all of Xiao Tao's work was handed over to the new Chunxing. She is a neat girl, diligent, ingenious, needlework, and a skilled cooker. She is responsible for cooking for the master's family, and for a month, almost every day the dishes are different, and they are all home-cooked dishes, which makes Zhang Bao's family of four amazed, and makes the second sister-in-law Xiaomei ashamed, and Shuning is even more envious, and her heart is ready to move.

This is a great opportunity to become a master chef!! Don't let it go, learn this hand, and even if you make it for yourself in the future, it's good. In the past few years, she has eaten monotonous dishes, either stewed or pasta, or sauerkraut pickles, which is really unbearable for her, who is already accustomed to the wide variety of delicacies in modern society.

It's decided! Starting tomorrow, she will start learning to cook from Chef Chunxing!!
