Chapter 41: The Mountain Rain is Coming
Yiyi nibbled on sweet roasted sweet potatoes and had a delicious meal with fragrant and juicy tomatoes. Completely ignoring Chiqiong's enjoyment, he was deliberately, deliberately showing super intoxication, and diverted his gaze with indignation.
After thinking about it, I went to harvest and sow a round of my own land, and every time I harvest the crops I planted with my own hands, Yiyi has the joy of a bumper harvest, not to mention that these fruits are exceptionally beautiful and delicious.
"Eat your meal, and accompany you around the mountains?" According to Chiqiong's original temperament, where would he be impatient like this, but Yiyi's face bewitched him with pleasure.
The next thing was to eat and fall asleep again, Yiyi woke up and saw that the boy's hair color had turned red again, so he gently helped him to lie down from the back of the back, and only then did he get out of the space, and it was only a moment before the outside world moved his sore shoulder blades and back. You should have yourself a bed in the space, or a cabin.
With the oil lamp, Yiyi saw that his complexion seemed to be a little whiter.
In the quiet alley of "Tu~Tu~Du~Du", the sound of knocking wooden fish came from far and near.
Yiyi wore the long skirt of amethyst embroidered peony and a green cage smoke shawl. The peony is pink and delicate, the leaves are strong and light and dark, and the embroidered color is natural and realistic, just like blooming on the dress. Between the footsteps, the petals and leaves tremble slightly in the wind, which is particularly vivid. Yiyi came to the open space in the inner courtyard and stretched her body. Xianglan and Jasmine, who were boiling water and cooking in the front yard, heard the sound and hurriedly came over to wait for washing.
"Liu Yapo is here, remember to spread it immediately." Yiyi helped go to the kitchen to cook breakfast.
“…… Milk, goat's milk, fresh mare's milk, milk, goat's milk ......"
"The pickles of the new altar, the crisp and delicious pickles~"
"Sell glutinous rice cakes~~~ Vegetables picked up early...... Sharpen scissors and kitchen knives......"
After a short while, all kinds of voices gradually sounded. The sound of pedestrians, cars, horses, and hawks gradually became mixed from clearly recognizable, and the capital woke up in a new morning.
"Miss, Liu Yapo has arrived, waiting outside the gate." Xianglan, who was fetching water in the courtyard, came to report.
"Well, how many people are here?" Yiyi fried a few dishes and put them on a plate: "Jasmine will send it to Meiyuan first." ”
"Liu Yapo came by herself." Xianglan had already asked who was coming.
"Then take her to the courtyard to talk." Yiyi helped send me to the Mei Courtyard early, asked how everything was okay, and told the third uncle Liu Yapo that she was here, so she immediately went back to the courtyard.
When I arrived in the courtyard, I saw an old woman in her fifties and nearly sixty years old standing beside the stone table, very shrewd and capable.
"The old woman has seen the eldest lady."
"Granny Liu doesn't have to be polite, let's talk in the house." Yiyi takes the lead
After entering the house and watching the tea again, Xianglan was ordered to go to the bamboo garden to see if the second aunt was up.
After drinking two sips of hot tea, Ma entered the hospital, and Yiyi welcomed her in. Ma brought a shrewd and neat and well-dressed daughter-in-law with him, it was Lin Xue.
When the three of them sat down, Yiyi said that Songyuan was currently going to add two people, and they wanted a maid who could keep accounts and settle accounts; Then I want a delicate cook who cooks the food.
The people in Liu Yapo's hands are quite complicated, and it is said that there are also official dependents who sell, so it is not difficult to find a few people with expertise. It is reported that the pen and ink maid is eighteen taels; Twenty-three taels of young maids and twenty-three taels of cooks who are good at rice, noodles and dishes are good at the whole stove.
Yiyi didn't expect it to be so cheap to buy people, but the division of labor in ancient society was not detailed, and most of the people's living needs were self-sufficiency or bartering. Cash money is easy to earn by people with skills, not to mention those who are in trouble and wait for money to save their lives, and there is no shortage of goods, and the price is naturally not high; The children of peasants and small handicraftsmen with little land and little land, when disaster befell their families, selling themselves into slavery was their way out.
Lin Xue talked about the price of fifteen taels of Wenmo maid and eighteen taels of cook, and proposed that Yiyi buy a few rough little maids and maids, only three or four taels of silver. You only need to provide three meals and accommodation, four seasons of clothing, and do not need to pay monthly silver.
Yiyi was startled when she heard this.
Liu Yapo didn't dare to have a detailed discussion with Lin Xue's family, so she told Ma's family: "Second lady, your house is a famous poet and calligrapher in the capital, and I can't bring it into the door if it doesn't look neat, and the four taels of silver with a good appearance are the bottom price." I will definitely bring the dexterous Peugeot to you two to choose. ”
As he was talking, there was a rumor that Mrs. Lao had come to the house. Liu Yapo hurriedly said goodbye and agreed to bring someone to Lin Mansion to choose Yi Yi when she went back.
Yiyi took Mrs. Lao to the hall to watch tea, and accompanied the guests to eat refreshments to satisfy their hunger. First thanked Mrs. Lao for her precious medicinal supplements, and then asked Lord Lao's body, knowing that the fever had subsided and he was awake, he was busy saying joy. Mrs. Lao also asked Lin Zhengcheng about his injury, and when she heard that she was still unconscious, she hurriedly comforted Yiyi.
"There are very few people who can survive such a catastrophe, and our two provinces can be said to be deeply blessed." Yiyi nodded and said, "Today, Mrs. Lao came to visit her, and I asked Lord Lao for me first." My father and daughter have been away from Beijing for many years, and there are many things to do here, so they are thinking about buying people and adding things to the house, and they can make the guests sit down, so that they can go to the close mansions to invite you. My father is still recuperating from his injuries in my third uncle's hospital, and I don't have enough people to take care of and serve in my hospital. I'm not afraid of you laughing, and I'm a little busy and I don't even have a person to pour tea and water. ”
Mrs. Lao looked at the situation in Songyuan, and naturally knew that Yiyi was too busy at home to take a break, and she also knew in her heart that she should go to the house to visit first, regardless of the severity of her injuries and the level of her position.
While the conversation was still being spoken, a holy decree came from the lord's house. The father-in-law of Qi, who passed the decree, was slightly blessed in middle age with a fair complexion, looked quite kind, and inquired about his father's recovery with Yiyi.
When all the family members of the family had cleaned up their clothes and dressed up, and the incense table was placed and knelt on the ground of the main courtyard, they all lowered their breath and greeted the holy decree.
"The inspection made Lin Zhaode's eldest daughter, Lin Yiyi, come forward with a holy decree."
"The next official takes the order." Kneel before receiving the decree.
The decree of the Holy Decree is too brilliant, the rhetoric is gorgeous and profound, and it takes great effort to understand that the emperor's decree is to commend Lin Zhaode, who has been circulating overseas for many years for the interests of the country, and has encountered strange dangers. He was specially rewarded with purple lingzhi, 100-year-old ginseng, formed Polygonum multiflori, high-grade cordyceps, blood swallow and two doctors stationed in the house for nursing until the injury was recovered. This is a rare honor, according to the order of thanksgiving.
The royal medicine and medicine are to comfort Lin Zhaode for many years of hard work; There was not a single reward of gold, silver and jewelry......
As the right deputy envoy of the mission, Yu Yongcheng is more familiar with the shipping lanes and climate of the inland sea. As a Jianghuai transit envoy, there was nothing wrong with directing navigation in the inland sea. But the accident of the destruction of the fleet was too big, and the Lin family was angry. Thinking of this, Yiyi hurriedly cheered up.
waited for a bulging purse to be given to Gonggong Qi who delivered the decree, and sent Gonggong Qi and Mrs. Lao to leave. The supervisor of the mutual market came to visit his father, and Yiyi directly led the person to the plum garden and accompanied the third uncle.
He Shi looked at the chaos of the long room, but sneered in his heart. Lord Dong brought news that the bodies of the victims of the main ship had been transported back to Beijing.
While talking here, Liu Yapo brought someone over there. Yi Yi hurriedly apologized to Lord Dong, and said, "Since Lord Dong is here, let's have some lunch at home later." ”
