A few days later, on a gloomy day, the three brothers of the Li family had arrived at the gate of Shiyang County.

"It's really desolate the further north you go, third brother, the city gate of Shiyang County is too small."

Li Mingming's eyes showed obvious surprise, when he was at home, he listened to his mother and third brother's story, and he already had a general imagination of the northland, and he was ready in his heart, but along the way, there was still too much gap between what he saw with his own eyes and what he heard from others.

The three brothers entered the city gate with a group of people, and today they just met Xie Changwang to inspect the city gate, and Mingyi and Mingli showed the road guide according to the process.

"Brother Mingli, you're back!" Xie Changwang went to attend the family banquet held by Li Mingren and met Mingli a few times before, and the two could chat freely every time, so their friendship was not bad.

Li Mingli smiled: "Eh, Brother Changwang, I'm back again, this time with my second brother and fourth brother." ”

The two brothers beside him gave a fist salute and a scholarly salute.

"Two brothers, four brothers." Xie Changwang replied:

"Hurry up and go back to rest, it's very uncomfortable to think about coming here to rush all the way."

Li Mingli: "Well, I can still hold on on the road, but now that I have arrived at the place, I suddenly saw the tiredness of my head." Brother Changwang, let's go back first, and drink some wine with my brother another day. ”

"Okay, go back and get some rest." Xie Changwang watched the group enter the city.

As the vehicle entered the main street, Li Mingming kept lifting the curtain and looking out.

"Third brother, didn't you say that the streets here are small and dirty? He also said that there was a smell on the street from time to time, and I saw that it was a little narrower, but it was quite clean. ”

With that, Wise sniffed again, "Well, it doesn't smell bad!" ”

Li Mingli also poked his head out and looked at the street: "It's really not as dirty as before, this change is quite big." ”

"Okay, you two talk a little quieter, this looks like the eldest brother has been rectified, you see there is a team of officials in front, all with brooms, dustpans, tongs and barrels in their hands, presumably this is the reason why the street is clean." Li Mingyi quietly analyzed the reason.

Li Zhizhi nodded: "Well, it seems that the eldest brother's rectification efforts are quite large, otherwise it would not have improved so obviously." ”

"It's almost here, I'm ready to get off the bus." Li Mingyi, as an elder brother, naturally has to worry about it.

"Hey, I don't know if my sister-in-law has prepared a room, I'm so tired, I just want to lie on the soft bed and relax." Li Mingli said.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law is such a thoughtful person, she must be ready."

Before the chatter in the carriage had ended, the carriage had stopped.

"It's finally here."

Li Mingli got out of the carriage first and knocked on the door, after all, he had to be familiar with it after a trip.

The concierge was a sixty-year-old man, and he was a little surprised when he opened the door and saw the person who came, and then he saluted: "Third master, you are back!" ”

"Uncle Niu, yes! I'm back again. Li Mingli responded with a smile.

"Is my sister-in-law in the house today? My second brother and fourth brother came together. ”

Speaking of this, the carriage got down one after the other, and the old man saluted again and again: "Second master, fourth master, well." The lady is in the house, and the small one is called to pass it on. ”

Li Mingyi nodded, and followed wisely: "Uncle Niu, call someone to unload the luggage!" ”

"Yes, Fourth Master." Uncle Niu instructed a small servant to report, and he called a few strong servants to unload the carriage.

Seeing this, the group behind the car hurriedly got out of the car, "Let's just come by ourselves." ”

Zhao Yunlan came out soon, and the things on the carriage here had not been unloaded.

"Why did you arrive so many days earlier?" Zhao Yunlan was puzzled, she shouldn't have miscalculated the time.

Li Mingyi: "Let's go faster. ”

"I must not have rested, okay, let's go rest first." Zhao Yunlan saw a little girl behind her, and knew that there would be a little girl in Lijia Village this time, but she didn't expect it to be Caixia.

"Caixia, I'm tired all the way, I'm going to wash up in a while, I'll have a good meal tonight, and I'll have a good rest and settle down these days!"

Li Caixia was a little flattered, and the people in front of her now saw that they had changed their identities again and became the county magistrate's wife, and among this large group of people, they were the first to care about themselves.

"Sister-in-law, madam, I'm okay, I'm used to doing rough work, but I don't have to work every day, so I'm not particularly tired."

Zhao Yunlan hurried over, of course, knowing that being tired from work and being tired from rushing was not an analogy, and besides, this group of people could arrive so early, and they must have sacrificed part of their rest time.

"It's okay to call me sister-in-law, but don't be a lady, if you're really embarrassed, you can call the owner the same as you did in the workshop before, but you can't be too outside." Zhao Yunlan smiled kindly, and no longer greeted Li Caixia, and turned her head to look at the few little maids from home.

"You guys are also working the road, Chunxiang will take you to rest in a while, and then arrange work for you after three days of rest."

A few little girls were naturally happy in their hearts, and they knew that Chunxiang was a powerful maid beside Mrs. in Lijia Village, and now that they were here, Mrs. did not treat everyone harshly and did not immediately give everyone a prestige, but instead sent Chunxiang to receive them, and everyone was relieved.

The maid who chose to come here is somewhat cautious, the life in Lijia Village is too comfortable, and there are few opportunities to jump up, and it is rare to have an opportunity, and people with ideas will naturally take the initiative.

Zhao Yunlan didn't care about these careful thoughts, after all, the group of little girls in front of her were all teenage girls, and she was naturally distressed to follow these men all the way without a word of complaint.

Besides, when there was a shortage of manpower on his side, as long as these people could be used, Zhao Yunlan would only be concerned about his deeds. As long as you don't betray the Lord, no matter how everyone tosses, now Chunxiang can be reliable, and she will naturally manage these little girls.

"Brother Deng, Brother Dashan, Master Zhang, you go in and rest for a while, just leave the unloading to them, I didn't have a good meal all the way, let Mingren accompany you to have a few more drinks tonight."

After a few people saluted, they didn't refuse, and Zhao Yunlan led everyone inside.

"Your eldest brother is still busy in the front office, and he should come back in a while." Zhao Yunlan said.

Mingyi: "Well, let the eldest brother be busy, official business is urgent, let's go wash our faces and rest for a while." ”

"Well, I'm starting to get sleepy when I get there, sister-in-law, my house is still the same one, right?" Li Mingli said.

"Well, yes. You take Mingyi and the little brother to rest together, the house is all cleaned up, I will arrange it here, and I will send someone to call you after dinner. ”

"Okay, then it's troublesome sister-in-law."

As soon as the three brothers left, Li Dashan came over.

"The owner, this time the bill for the soap and wine sold in the north, the second master said to let me hand it over to you......"

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Yunlan took the bill and said softly: "Brother Dashan, go and rest for a while, and talk about this matter when you are rested, don't worry about it." ”

"Hmm."

"The house is all cleaned up, I'll make do with staying here tonight, and I'll send you to Zhuangzi tomorrow, the rooms over there are more spacious, and it should be more comfortable for you to live."

Li Dashan returned the salute with a fist: "Then it will be more troublesome for Zhao Dongjia." ”

As soon as Li Dashan went out, it was raining outside.

"Howen." Zhao Yunlan shouted outside.

"Madam, what are you looking for?" He Wen hurriedly came over to respond.

"Is all the luggage in the car in order? Is it raining? ”

"Mrs. Hui, they have all been settled, and the villagers are also changing in the house."

"Well, let's go and give the master an umbrella!"

He Wen saluted: "Yes." ”
