Xiao Shi's birthday banquet was originally planned to be happy with his family before the Spring Festival, and also let the little guy relax. Lest before the exam, this baby candidate at home is too tight, and he combines work and rest!

Xiaocao plans to invite Grandpa Zhao's family, Godmother's family, and a few good sisters, plus Xiaoshi's master Yuan Daru, and several of his classmates and friends. But her only mistake was to save trouble and set the venue of the banquet in the medicinal food workshop.

Originally, the room in the medicinal food workshop had to be booked a week in advance. Xiaocao simply calculated the number of people and reserved three rooms. The family members and Grandpa Zhao and godfather were at the same table, she and Zhu Junyang entertained a few good sisters and their husbands, and Xiaoshi greeted his husband and classmates, and the position was more than enough.

Unexpectedly, the news spread in Guozijian. Now the gentlemen alone have gathered a whole table, and those students who have received invitations have filled the three boxes, and there are also friends who have nodded to Xiaoshi uninvited, and they have gathered another table.

Somehow, the news of the Yu family's banquet in the medicinal food workshop reached the ears of the Emperor Taishang and several princes. These old men and beautiful uncles who love food also brought gifts to come over. There are also a few families that have a good relationship with the Fang family, and they all gather in Yufu without landing. caught the people of the Yu family and the Fang family off guard.

Fortunately, Xiaocao took back all the private rooms in the medicinal food workshop in advance, otherwise this banquet would have been a big joke!

The birthday of his master and younger brother is celebrated, and there are so many big coffees, and the medicinal dietetics of the medicinal food workshop have made great efforts to achieve excellence and perfection in every dish. The meal was a feast for the gourmets. It can be described as a joy for both guests and hosts. Before leaving, each person also brought a box of pastries as a return gift. Don't underestimate this box of pastries, in Yu Ji West Pastry Shop, this small box can't be bought back without a few dozen taels of silver!

Western-style dim sum, whether in the capital or in the whole Ming Dynasty, is unique. A time-honored shop like Daoxiang Village, which sells traditional dim sum, is extremely glad that "Yu Kee" does not involve Chinese dim sum for the time being, otherwise they would really have no way to live.

The shopkeeper of Daoxiang Village once euphemistically asked Yang Liu if Yu Ji was interested in getting involved in traditional Chinese dim sum, and reported to Xiaocao, who gave them a reassuring decision - within 20 years, they would only make Western-style dim sum, which greatly relieved the time-honored brands. In 20 years, there have been too many changes, and in 20 years, who knows what will happen!

Since the birthday banquet, Xiao Shi found that his popularity was really good. In the Guozi Prison, both the husband and the student smiled kindly when they saw him, and some self-acquaintances came to greet him! When the students were debating, many students would find him and collide with him in thoughts, which gave him a lot of inspiration. In the Guozi prison, he grew up rapidly.

When Yuan Sinian was admitted to the school as a junior apprentice, he found that his thinking was more mature and his articles were more rigorous. If it is said that before entering the national prison, Yu Fu was a young eagle that had just left the nest, full of momentum, but slightly immature. At this time, he has grown into an eagle fighting thousands of miles in the sky, with this broad mind and long-term vision, waiting for the opportunity to soar into the sky.

Yuan Daru didn't show anything outside, and returned home to talk to his son. Prime Minister Yuan said he was helpless. Be! You've got a good apprentice! There are top talents! It is expected to create the myth of the three elements and the first! What's the matter with him? For the sake of you, a good apprentice, his good junior brother, he even resigned from the position of chief examiner, so don't show off in front of him again, okay? Dad, have you forgotten that you have a grandson who will also participate in the Spring Festival next year? You are your precious disciple in your eyes, in your mouth, and in your heart, where do you put your little grandson? Where will you put your grandson's father??

Fortunately, the youngest son's character followed him and he was not shocked. Every day, I went to Guozijian to study, returned home to review my homework, and asked Yu Xing, a little genius, for advice from time to time. Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and he believes that his son will be able to achieve good results in the spring!

The days passed, and in a blink of an eye, the capital had entered the season of snowfall. Since the beginning of winter, the atmosphere of the Yu family seems to be slightly different from previous years. This is the last Spring Festival for the youngest daughter to spend at home, and Yu Hai and his wife began to get busy as soon as they entered the wax moon, wanting to give the youngest daughter a perfect memory.

As the eldest sister-in-law, Liu. Huifang also came to the capital with the Yu family. In the past, at the invitation of Xiaocao, the future sister-in-law and best friend, she came to Beijing to play once. The Yu family's house in Beijing has not changed much from the layout of Dongshan Village, but the furnishings inside are more exquisite.

Liu. After Huifang entered Beijing, she followed her mother-in-law and her little sister's godmother, and learned to be a housekeeper, and in the birthday banquet of her little uncle, she grew a lot of knowledge and came into contact with many beautiful ladies in the upper class of Beijing. Although there is still some rustiness and restraint in dealing with people, it is also slowly improving learning. During the period of preparing for the Chinese New Year, she has been helping her mother-in-law with detailed information and giving a lot of useful advice.

Liu. Huifang and Xiaocao grew up together, and witnessed the process of the Yu family from decline to prosperity. She is well aware of the rise of the Yu family, and Xiaocao has made great contributions. It can be said that without Xiaocao, there would be no current Yu family.

After getting married, the man mentioned it more than once, saying that all the industries in Beijing are the hard work of the little sister, and he, as a brother, can't help much, so naturally he won't be cheeky to share the little sister's industry. Seriously calculated, even the Yu family's property in Tanggu is the foundation laid by Xiaomei. Tanggu's breeding farms, vegetable and fruit bases, and those prosperous shops in the port, which one does not have the shadow of a little sister?

As the eldest son, he must stay in Tanggu to guard the ancestral house and foundation of the Yu family. No matter how prosperous the capital is, no matter how much gold is everywhere, he is not greedy. How big a head is and how big a hat is, Yu Hang has a clear and correct understanding of his ability.

He was afraid that when it came to money and interests, people's hearts would change, so he would reveal his words in front of his daughter-in-law from time to time. Liu. Huifang naturally knows the value of those "Yuji" industries in Beijing, and each industry can be described as a daily gold fight.

But so what? Without the little grass girl who is the lord of the county and has the grace of the saint, even if such an estate is in her hands, how long can she keep it? It is no exaggeration to say that on the streets of the capital, you can still beat three or five nobles with a stick. So how can no one be jealous of a money-making industry? Isn't it just because the little sister's backstage is hard enough that she can always be safe? Try someone else?

Besides, people are content. Huifang is already very satisfied with her current life. She also suffered when she was a child, and she still remembers the days when she was hungry and full at home, and she couldn't let go of eating coarse grain cakes. If it weren't for Xiaocao Girl, her father, the pillar of the family, might have disappeared long ago in that long winter. Without the leadership of the Yu family, even if the family raises chickens and ducks, they may not be able to find a market......

Now, in the envious eyes of the little sisters in the village, she married the eldest son of the Yu family and lived a life like a young grandmother. Why should she bother with mediocrity and let greed blind her?

Therefore, when the mother-in-law took the dowry list of the little sister and gathered the family in her room to discuss the dowry of the little sister, looking at the long list of data, she could still be right.

"Mother, this brewing workshop, I'm going to leave it to my eldest brother, cross it out! This preserved fruit and canning workshop is reserved for Xiaolian! This newly bought Zhuangzi is all planted with off-season vegetables and fruits, and there is a large refrigerator, which is for the younger brother...... And, this, this one...... It's all crossed off the list! ”

Yu Xiaocao saw that all her properties in Beijing were written into the dowry list, as well as some good things collected by the family in recent years, and the property in the Yufu treasury was estimated to have moved into the dowry.

Liu took the dowry list from her, and did not cross out anything as she had hoped. Instead, he thought for a moment and added a few more valuable things.

"Head jewelry or something, Ming'er, let's go to a few famous gold and silver shops in Beijing to see if there are any new styles to add some to the grass. The four seasons clothes set in the Linglong Weaving and Embroidery Workshop, you should be able to take them these days, right? Oh, by the way, Zhenhao Cloth Village seems to have entered a new batch of silk satin, and your godmother said that they should leave some cloud brocade satin......" Liu Shi babbled a lot, and asked the younger son to write them down one by one, so as not to be busy these days ago and forget.

"Mother! Did you listen to me? Yu Xiaocao was ignored for a long time, and reluctantly spoke again.

Liu Shi raised his eyes and glanced at her, sighed lightly, and said: "Those industries were all founded by you with hard work, although they all bear the title of Yu Ji, who in Beijing doesn't know that they are the property of the county lord of Jin'an?" Your intentions are good, you want to add some money to your brothers and sisters, but if they accept it, what will others think of him? Especially your younger brother, who is going to be an official in the future, can his colleagues look down on him? ”

Yu Hai also echoed: "Don't worry about your family!" Thinking of you at a young age, you took on the responsibility of supporting your family, and it is not a taste in my heart to be a father. In a blink of an eye, it's time for you to get married, and the situation at home is very different from back then. No matter how good the relationship between brothers and sisters is, after they start a family, they eat according to their abilities, what is the matter of always relying on others? Listen to my father's mother, the industry in Beijing, except for this Yu Mansion, you take it all away!! ”

"Second sister, the Yu family has me and my eldest brother! You just have to live your little life comfortably, if King Xu is angry with you, you can go back to your mother's house to live, and the door of the Yu Mansion will always be open to you. Before he could finish his words, he was slapped twice on the head.

"Stinky boy, why don't you say a few nice words?" Yu Hai and his wife withdrew their slaps and glared at the kid.
