Chapter 690: It's Not What It Used To Be
Seeing the team in front of him walking away, Na Zhixian simply regretted his death. "Go, ask me which village chief is the village chief of these fifteen ditch villages. Why didn't you report such a big thing? ”
If someone had reported this before, wouldn't he have come earlier? How can you rush to come, but only have time to give people and see them off? It's really infuriating to miss such a good opportunity like this.
The chief bookkeeper beside the magistrate stepped forward, "My lord, there is no need to ask. The village chief of these fifteen Daogou villages is the second eldest of the Zhao family. Their family is nothing, just an ordinary person, but his father was the village chief at that time. ”
"However, this relative of the Zhao family is more powerful. The daughter of Zhao Laoer, married to the San Lang of the Zhong family. The old lady of the Zhong family is the nurse of today's saint. The younger generation of the Zhong family is the commander of the guards, and there are many outstanding talents. In addition, the Zhong family is related to Uncle Zhongyong's aunt's family, and at the same time, he is also related to Jiang Tanhua, who returned to his hometown to visit relatives last year. My lord, fifteen ditches, now there are a lot of capable people, here, it's not easy to offend. ”
The master is the locals, and they are very dedicated to local affairs. What's more, he is even more concerned about the frequent officials of the fifteen ditches, so he has some understanding of the situation of the Zhao family and others.
When the magistrate heard this, there were so many people involved behind the Zhao family. Yes, this is not something he can afford to offend, so forget it, he will have to talk to others in the future.
"Let's go, go back to the county office. In the future, on the side of the fifteen ditches, let people keep an eye on it, and report it to the official in time if there is anything. The magistrate had no choice but to take people back.
Don't say how Nazhi County will go back, just say that on the other side, Yun Zhen and his party are heading towards the state city.
Yun Xue fed her son and handed him over to Hongjuan to hold, while she closed her eyes and thought about what would happen after she came back.
At the workshop, there's basically nothing going on. Yun Xue has already told Qi Hu that when the workshop harvests fruits this year, the price will be raised appropriately. But don't go up too much, or the cost will be too high. Moreover, the price increase is also to gag some people's mouths, and this kind of thing cannot be completely solved by price increases.
With the matter of the school, in fact, most people in the village are still grateful to the Han family. Only some people have to mix and gossip, and everyone knows what they are like, and they don't need to pay attention to it at all.
It's still early spring, and there's nothing to see in the field, but Yun Xue deliberately asked Qi Hu to take her to her own mountains and fields for a spin.
Wild fruits from the autumn of the previous year, Qi Hu began to ponder, mountain grapes are the most easy to get, cuttings can survive, now there are several acres of land.
Tang pears and mountain reds, which are squeezed out of the seeds when making jam, are now also cultivated into small saplings. However, this Dianjube and Dianguo have not yet been mastered by Qi Hu. I tried some last year, but only a few seedlings came out, and it seems that it will take a little more work.
Now it seems that honey-stained fruit and fruit wine are more profitable. Yun Xue also told Qi Hu that she would find a way to do more of these two in the future. The second is jam, as for the fruit cake, make less, that thing is the most expensive raw materials, and the price of selling is not equal to the cost of materials.
As for the restaurant in charge of Gu Chengye, Yun Xue discussed with Jinxiu and decided to give Gu Chengye another two percent. After all, they can't manage it here, it's all Gu Chengye who is worrying, and they should give more benefits to others.
In addition, Wu Chunsheng's rice and grain shop, Yun Xue has sold the shop to Wu Chunsheng according to the price she bought the shop at the beginning. Judging from the current situation in Changbai County, that shop is worth at least four or five hundred taels, and Yun Xue only asked for one hundred and fifty taels. At first, Yunxue and Jinxiu said that they were given to the Wu family, but the Wu family did not do it, and later sold it at the original price.
Right now, it's all left on the state city. If Mrs. Tong's dim sum shop really can't do it, then Yun Xue has to plan early. It just so happens that they will stay in the state city for one night today, and then they will talk to Mrs. Tong.
Yun Xue thought about it, and felt that her eyes couldn't open a little. She is really tired these days, the house is always full of people during the day, there is no chance to rest, and she has to serve her son at night. The little guy always has to get up twice a night, and it takes nearly half an hour to feed and change diapers each time. Yunxue doesn't sleep well at night, and she doesn't have time to sleep during the day, so these days, it's really hard to stay up.
Hongjuan hugged Shen Fang, and saw Yun Xue with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep. hurriedly pulled over the thin quilt and covered Yun Xue's body. In this early spring, the wind is relatively strong and the cool air is very heavy, although it is in the carriage, but you have to be careful.
The carriage was swaying, but Xiao Shen Fang slept very soundly and never woke up. In this way, the mother and son slept for a long time, and it was not until noon, after the carriage stopped, that the mother and son woke up leisurely.
The dry food specially prepared yesterday, at this time, there were girls and mothers-in-law, who lit the charcoal stove and boiled some hot water, and everyone dealt with it and ate some and it was over. Everyone found a place to rest and eat, and Yun Xue hurried to feed the child.
When they were almost rested, the group continued to walk towards the state city. At the end of the day, the group came to the east gate of the state city, but they didn't expect that Lord Tong was already waiting here with many officials.
It turned out that Shen Hongjun had sent someone over early to take care of it, so many people were eating and living, so they couldn't be unprepared. When they came from the capital, they didn't know that they would meet Lord Tong, and when they left, Lord Tong knew that he was naturally remorseful.
Lord Tong originally wanted to go to Shidaogou to meet Yunlin, but was later persuaded by others, saying that it was too deliberate, and it was not good for the court to know. Anyway, when the prince and his entourage return to Beijing, they always have to pass by the state city, so it is better to inquire carefully, and when the time comes, it is enough to entertain them.
So, Lord Tong asked people to pay attention to the movement of the other courtyard at all times, and it happened that someone came to report yesterday, and then a lot of things were prepared in the other courtyard. Lord Tong guessed that Yunlin and his entourage might be passing through the state city today, so from noon, he took people to wait at the east city gate.
Sure enough, after waiting for such a long time, it was not in vain, and the prince and his entourage really came. Lord Tong hurriedly came forward to greet the officials in the state government. "The lower officials are in Jiangzhou Prefecture, leading the state officials and waiting for the prince."
Yun Lin was stunned for a moment, then he figured it out, and couldn't help but shake his head. They traveled so low-key that local officials knew about it. "Lord Zhizhou, please get up. This king travels only for family matters, and adults do not need to make this big gift. ”
All the officials got up, "Lord, the banquet has been prepared in the state ya, and the prince and the marquis of Jing'an are invited to appreciate the glory." ”
Yun Lin shook his head, "This king, Jing'an Hou, and Zhongyongbo traveled this time, which is a personal matter, and it is not appropriate to go to the state government. Why don't you all go to Jing'anhou's courtyard together, it is also very spacious. ”
Yunlin is a cautious person, and he resolutely refuses to put any tricks on these matters. If you don't pay attention at this moment, he will be participated in by someone who cares about it every day, then he just can't eat and walks around.
When Lord Tong and other officials heard Yunlin's words, they were stunned for a moment, and then they understood. So Master Tong hurriedly said, "It's the lower officials who are not thoughtful." The prince's order, the lower officials and others should obey it, and let the state government banquet also be sent to the other courtyard. In this way, the other courtyard of the province is bothered. ”
Yun Lin looked at Shen Hongjun, "Cousin, what do you see?" ”
Shen Hongjun nodded, "Okay, although the other courtyard has prepared something, it is just to prepare some food for us." If you can't entertain these officials, I'm afraid it won't work, so let's rely on them. Anyway, those drinks and dishes are prepared, and if you don't eat them, you can only pour them out. ”
"Okay, according to what Lord Zhizhou said. In this way, this king will first bring a group of family members and others to settle in the other courtyard, and then Lord Tong will bring people to come. "You've got to have some time for these people to settle in.
Lord Tong can be Zhizhou, naturally he is not the kind of blind, hearing this, he hurriedly took someone aside, "Xiaguan and others send the prince to the king." ”
So, the group entered the city in a mighty way, and then came to the other courtyard. The guards left on the side of the courtyard hurriedly stepped forward to help and welcomed the group in. The crowd only took down what they could use tonight, and the rest was still on the carriage.
Yun Xue, Yun Ni and the others all settled down, and the girls laid out all the bedding and other luggage they needed for the night. Especially Shen Fang and Shen Yuewen, these two must bring a lot of clothes and clothes, so they have the most luggage.
Yun Xue breastfed her son, and then found someone to deliver a letter to Governor Tong's mansion, asking Mrs. Tong if she had time, she wanted to see Mrs. Tong.
A kid hurriedly went out to deliver a letter, and came back after a while, saying that Mrs. Tong and others would come with Master Tong and them later. Yun Xue immediately understood that these ladies had discussed and wanted to come over together to join in the fun.
Yun Xue hurriedly found Yun Ni and Jinxiu, and several people discussed it together, and assigned all the people they brought, and the place of the banquet was also cleaned up.
The courtyard had just been cleaned up, and the husband and wife of Lord Tong led the officials and wives of the state government to come over. The Luoxia Pavilion is the largest, so men and women are separated from each other and have their own banquets.
When the ladies saw Sister Yunxue, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Everyone met again, but their identities were a big drop. Yun Xue was only able to intersect with the ladies of the Decree by relying on Shen Hongjun's support. Now, Yun Xue has become Mrs. Hou, and Yun Ni has become a princess, and the changes in the world are embarrassing.
