The Li family has few relatives and friends who can move around in Fucheng, except for the Wu family, there may only be the Liu Governor's Mansion.

Zhao Yunlan thought about waiting for Wu Yanwei and them to finish worshipping the New Year, and then come to see Zhu Yue. But before he could go, Wu Yanwei came to the door with Zhu Yue.

"Brother Wu, I wish my sister, please come in." Zhao Yunlan greeted the two happily.

Wang felt awkward when he heard this title, he was both an elder brother and a sister, but he separated the husband and wife. Zhu Yue and Wu Yanwei didn't care, after all, Wu Yi was used to this kind of title when she didn't marry in the beginning. Everyone is also a casual person, as long as they know that there is a relationship.

Zhu Yue: "Today's visit is to pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Li and Aunt Wang. ”

Old man Li nodded happily.

Wu Yanwei followed Zhu Yue to pay New Year's greetings to the two elders, and then followed Li Mingren to the front yard.

Wu Yi learned that her brother and sister-in-law were coming, and she quickly got up and came to the main courtyard.

"Oh, you go slowly. Our brother and sister-in-law are not in a hurry to go back. Li Mingyi followed beside him and helped Wu Yi.

Wu Yi smiled: "It's okay, I'll walk steadily." ”

On the side of the main courtyard, Chunxiang served tea and snacks, and Zhao Yunlan and the others were chatting.

"I also guess that Sister Zhu must be busy these days, and all the houses have to visit."

Zhu Yue held his head: "Hey, I'm busy, I went back to my parents' house in the second year of junior high school, and I came back in a hurry." Anyone who has dealt with this Jinzhou City, and those who have a better relationship have gone to visit the door, and those who have a shallow friendship have also sent New Year's gifts. ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded, there are many high-ranking officials and nobles in this city, and there are many wealthy businessmen, and everyone will be more or less involved.

"Sister-in-law, you're here!" Wu Yi shouted as soon as he entered the main courtyard.

Zhu Yue was frightened by this sentence, and smiled helplessly: "Ouch, you slow down, you have to be a mother's person, and you are still shocked." ”

Wu Yi saluted the Wang family, turned his head and pulled Zhu Yue and said, "I don't miss you!" ”

Zhu Yue: "Then sit down, look at Mingyi's anxious look." ”

Wu Yi looked at Li Mingyi behind him and smiled: "You go to the front yard to find the eldest brother." ”

Although Li Mingyi didn't want to leave, after all, this was a conversation between the ladies and dependents, so he saluted and went to the front yard.

Wang looked at Wu Yi and said, "If you raise it again, you'll be allowed to go out." ”

Wu Yi responded happily, knowing that this was Wang's own good.

Zhu Yue saw that her sister-in-law was doing well at her mother-in-law's house, and she was very comforted, and she only sighed in her heart that this was a good family affair.

Wu Yanwei and his family had dinner at Li's house before returning to their home.

Zhao Yunlan thought that she should go to Liu Zhifu's house to visit, and today she heard Wu Yanwei say that Liu Zhifu went to Qingshui Town in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and only rushed back yesterday evening.

The next day, Zhao Yunlan handed over the post, and Mrs. Liu took the post and invited Zhao Yunlan to come to her house to enjoy the plums.

Zhao Yunlan received the invitation and took Mama Cui to prepare the New Year's gift together. After all, the identity of the Liu Governor's family is there, regardless of how the Liu Governor's Mansion is honest as an official, but the Liu family is not a place where there is a shortage of money, compared with the family businesses created by Zhao Yunlan, no, no~ Zhao Yunlan shook her head, this can't be compared at all.

So in the end, Zhao Yunlan didn't think about taking any expensive gifts, Zhao Yunlan planned to prepare her own specialties.

There are beautifully carved soaps, which are newly made by Zhao Yunlan, Zhao Yunlan found Lao Zhang to make a new soap mold a few years ago, and the mold is carved with landscape paintings and landscape flowers. Zhao Yunlan plans to launch high-quality soap after the year, and she also has to control the quantity.

Zhao Yunlan packed a set of soap, a total of six pieces, and then some family food, smoked duck and various bacon sausages, and a jar of pepper sauce.

When she came to the door with these things, Zhao Yunlan was still a little timid, but she saw Mrs. Liu's sincere appearance and said, "I just thought about this pepper flavor." ”

Zhao Yunlan had a bottom in her heart, and followed Mrs. Liu around the yard, talking about some women's homely things. There were a few plum blossoms in the yard, and it didn't affect Zhao Yunlan's mood to enjoy the flowers.

Mrs. Liu is a lover of flowers, and there are countless flowers and trees in the garden.

"Mrs. Liu, your camellia is really good." Zhao Yunlan looked at the camellia of several colors and liked it very much.

Mrs. Liu is also a generous and cheerful person, and she said that she was going to send a few camellia flowers to Zhao Yunlan, and let Zhao Yunlan pick them herself.

Originally, Zhao Yunlan just simply praised it, which was a little embarrassing. But Mrs. Liu was sincere and wanted to give it to Zhao Yunlan, but in the end, she couldn't refuse, so Zhao Yunlan picked a pot of white and a pot of pink.

When he left Liu's house, the prefect of Liu appeared and mentioned a mouthful of pepper to Zhao Yunlan, and probably the court would reward him after the year.

The reason is that this pepper comes in handy in the Frontier. This winter, the Cangyun Kingdom next to it provoked a small-scale war against Jiaxiang Kingdom, and in the end it was Jiaxiang Kingdom that won. Afterwards, when the generals did a review and analysis, a certain general mentioned the benefits of this pepper, and everyone started to talk about it. In the end, when Qin He sent the good news, he also expressed the credit of this pepper in it.

Of course, these are not said to Zhao Yunlan, but Governor Liu himself will not take this credit alone, and whoever should be there will be whomever it is.

Zhao Yunlan knew that this was Governor Liu's house to inform him in advance, so that he could prepare for receiving gifts.

Zhao Yunlan bowed to Governor Liu and expressed her gratitude, and then took Mama Cui back to Li's house.

Back at the Li family, Zhao Yunlan also briefly told everyone about this, so that everyone was prepared. This incident also made Li Mingren feel a little nervous, nervous that he would not be able to catch up with his mother's footsteps again.

However, after the year, Li Mingren became even more serious, and even cheekily tried to write to Mrs. Liu to seek knowledge. When the first letter was sent, Li Mingren waited for several days and did not receive the letter, thinking that he would not be able to enter the eyes of Mrs. Liu without a lady. Just as he was about to be cheeky again, Yunlan went to ask Old Lady Liu for a begging experience, when he received a letter.

In the letter, Mrs. Liu annotated some knowledge points and pointed out some deficiencies in the article written by Li Mingren. When I got to the last page, I saw a big "Can you stop for the New Year?" ”

Li Mingren thought, no wonder he was always sneezing these days, and it was the old lady Liu who was complaining about himself.

After that, Li Mingren was cheeky and continued his path of knowledge.

After a few days of leisure, Zhao Yunlan began to get busy. Zhang Xia has been arranged to make hot pot with Ye Min. Granny Xiao is too old to go to the store, and Yang is fat and timid, so she doesn't dare to go outside to do things.

What Zhao Yunlan wanted was to let Zhang Xia go for a period of time first, and then summon Zhang Xia back when there was a suitable person. Now Li Shan, Li Chuan and Li He have followed Ye Min to learn the work on the stove, everyone has learned seriously, but the taste made by Li He is the best among the few.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wu Yi can go out. The first thing to do is to go to Jingshan Temple to make a vow. After all, when I came to Jingshan Temple before, I simply asked for a child's wish, although I can't know if the wish was fulfilled, but this ancient, always had some faith.

Wu Yi invited the ladies of the family to come to Jingshan Temple together, and the temple was very lively today. On the day of the Lantern Festival, the temple prepares fasting meals and prays for blessings. Therefore, the number of people who came to burn incense and worship the Buddha increased.

Li Mingmei was the first to buy a lantern, which was made by the temple and sold for only two cents a piece. There is a small note in the lantern where you can write your wishes.

After Li Mingmei finished putting out the lanterns, several people followed Wu Yilai to worship the Buddha in the main hall. Wang also donated 20 taels of silver for sesame oil.

Everyone walked around the mountain and ate fast before going down to the mountain.
