Yesterday, she got a bag of walnuts, and Zhao Yunlan's first thought was to keep it for Ruiwen. So after eating a few fresh walnuts, he asked Li Mingren to peel off the green shells on the outside of all the walnuts and dry them into dried walnuts.

"This is peeled for your son, think about how happy Xiaobao will be to eat the walnuts that his father has peeled and dried by himself!" Zhao Yunlan was thinking about her son who was far away from home, and at the same time encouraged Li Mingren to peel walnuts.

Li Mingren didn't complain, after all, he was really homesick and missed his son, he looked at the black hands and buried himself in the work!

Early in the morning, the two had breakfast, Li Mingren went to the front hall of the county ya, and Zhao Yunlan was busy going back to the banquet. Just check the menu and set up the venue again today.

The invitation card has been sent out yesterday, and the families are relieved to receive the invitation, and after waiting for so long, they finally waited for the invitation of the county magistrate. The women of each family did not receive an invitation from the county commander's wife, and they could not get a definite answer when they asked their master, so they could only wait.

"Chunxiang, this table is covered with a tablecloth cut yesterday, and the stools are placed according to the spacing of the chess and card tables." Zhao Yunlan pointed to the long table that had been placed and was buttoning the details little by little.

"Li Hua, that piece of land is still a little uneven, arrange someone to fill it in and compact it."

"He Hua, I just saw that the mutton is not enough, you quickly ordered someone to buy some back, and the marinated soup is a little light, you can adjust it again."

"Hey, ma'am, I'll go." He Hua ran up in small steps and went to the kitchen.

"He Wen, the location is all arranged. Have the guys who led the way explained it? ”

He Wen: "Madam, it has been emphasized repeatedly, and they have also been rehearsed. ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "Although everyone in this small place doesn't have any festivals, we still have to be cautious, and the smaller the things, the more we should pay attention."

Chunxiang, prepare some blankets today, in case the wind starts tomorrow, those ladies and ladies are frozen. Eh, let's add a screen over there in the ink garden, and take out the peach blossom screen that I bought back and put it on. ”

Chunxiang responded, and took Xiaozhen Xiaoman to the warehouse to move the screen. Li Hua just put up the screen of Qingzhuyuan, and when he saw a few girls going to the warehouse, he hurriedly called a few guards to follow him.

Under Zhao Yunlan's arrangement, everyone was busy in an orderly manner.

In the front hall of the county government, Li Mingren was sorting out some work problems in the countryside today. Cao Yingfa and Chen Yiqing discussed the record together.

Winter in the north comes early and leaves late, so there is more leisure time, and there will always be diligent people who come to the town and county to find work when everyone is free. But Shiyang County is so big, and the merchants who hire people are also limited, so there will still be a large number of people at home. As soon as this person is idle, he is prone to conflicts and disputes, so Li Mingren wants to see how to pull the employment of this idle person.

Of course, Li Mingren definitely doesn't understand the word employment, but he knows that he has to find something for everyone to do. In the past few days, although it seems to be relatively smooth, but it is inevitable to encounter some disputes, several villages have seen some second-rate people gather to fight, these second-rate children are usually in the village love to recruit cats and dogs, the age is fifteen or sixteen, the family is not rich, and there is no marriage, all day long is to fool around in various villages, engaged in some villages of black miasma, and even excessively affect the daily life of the villagers.

Chen Yiqing: "My lord, I think the roads in some villages are not easy to walk, so let's build roads for everyone, it will take a lot of time to build roads, and you can sharpen their temperament." ”

Cao Yingfa fiddled with the account book and said in a somewhat disdainful tone: "Lord Chen is really a good official who thinks about the people and thinks well, so Lord Chen is going to plan to give out the money for building the road by himself." ”

Li Mingren silently recited in his heart: Here we go again.

"Lord Chen's idea is still good, I haven't heard a sentence, 'If you want to get rich, build roads first', but our Lord Cao is also meticulous, and we don't have much money in our public account. In addition, this road construction also involves conscription, and in the second half of this year, there has already been a conscription for everyone to make up the river, and successive conscription may cause public resentment. ”

Cao Yingfa looked at Li Mingren with a flattering face and said, "It's still thoughtful as an adult." ”

Li Mingren couldn't stand Cao Yingfa's flattering look, cleared his throat and said, "Hey, think of other ways." The main reason is that the county government has no money, and it can be said that it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice! ”

Cao and Chen nodded, and couldn't help but sigh.

Li Mingren's mood was depressed, and he had no intention of working, and when he looked at the sky outside, it was almost time, and said: "Then let's get here first today, let's think more about this matter of the people." Tomorrow, the two adults will be invited to enjoy the drinks in the morning, and we sincerely invite everyone to enjoy them. ”

Cao Yingfa, Chen Yiqing stood up and saluted: "Yes, my lord." ”

After getting out of the hall, Li Mingren hurried to the backyard. At this time, Zhao Yunlan is arranging a place to park and welcome guests, although it is a small place, it is inevitable that some people pay attention to pomp and circumstance to take a carriage, and there will always be some secret competition in places where there are parties.

Li Mingren came over and saw that Zhao Yunlan was training the little ones on welcome etiquette.

"Well, it's really different, this one looks like a descendant from a famous family." Li Mingren praised.

Zhao Yunlan disagreed: "You are the head of a county, our family's momentum must not lose to them." Maybe our family's money is not as good as those big families, but the majesty of our family is definitely slightly better. ”

"What the lady said is reasonable, the momentum of this official lady came out at once." Of course, the second half of the sentence was whispered in Zhao Yunlan's ear.

Zhao Yunlan quietly twisted Li Mingren's waist and said with a smile: "You also have to put away your hippie smile." ”

"Hiss~ It hurts, it hurts."

Zhao Yunlan added some more strength and said: "Where does it hurt, call a doctor to take a look!" ”

Li Mingren frowned, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a smile hard: "No, no." ”

Only then did Zhao Yunlan let go and turned around and walked inside: "I'm going to eat." ”

Li Mingren suddenly remembered that he had said that he wanted to find a doctor to show the whole family, and hurriedly chased after him: "Yunlan, find a doctor to come to the house in a while!" ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Hey, yes, let's prepare a doctor, in case there is any accident tomorrow, bah bah ~ I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case." ”

"Ouch, I'm talking about getting you a doctor. Wasn't there something unusual a while ago? Li Mingren pulled Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunlan: "Yes, let's see when the banquet is over tomorrow, there are still some things that have not been dealt with today." ”

The two of you went to the main hall one by one, He Hua had already prepared the dishes, and he still held the final menu and the number of dishes to be prepared for Zhao Yunlan to see.

"Don't look at the meal!" Li Mingren looked at Zhao Yunlan while eating, and couldn't help but say.

Zhao Yunlan: "It's okay, I'll finish reading it soon, if there are deficiencies, they can still have time to buy." We can't make any mistakes. ”

Li Mingren silently sandwiched a piece of fish meat for Zhao Yunlan, and picked out all the thorns. Zhao Yunlan focused on the account book, and Li Mingren put whatever he put into his mouth, so that Zhao Yunlan could eat a full meal.
