Chapter 367: Return
And the emperor in the palace knew the news from the northwest, and he was relieved.
Everything was unpredictable before things were done before, and he didn't dare to let himself relax, but now it's okay.
These days, the emperor has gone to the harem diligently, and all the concubines are squeezing their heads to compete for favor, those who have sons don't want the emperor to have a few sons at this age, and those who don't have children want to get pregnant as soon as possible, nothing can make people worry about food and clothing in the second half of their lives than having children by their side.
Before the middle of the wax moon, all the radishes in the grape field of the Zhou family have to be harvested, and the cycle of radishes is short, it only takes more than three months, just in time to harvest the radishes before the snow.
After the radish was harvested, the Zhou family was busy again, but fortunately, there are more people in the family now, and there is no need to recruit additional people.
It's just that in this way, there are fewer and fewer people in the palace of Kyoto City and County, and in the end, only a few sprinklers are left, and there are guards who act as facades, and everyone else, regardless of men, women, and children, has come to Jinjia Village.
This group of slaves heard that in the following days, they would wash turnips, cut turnips, pickled turnips and dry turnip leaves, and at first these subordinates really didn't care, didn't they just cut and wash turnips, who would not do these jobs, but everyone would do them.
But when they heard from the first batch of subordinates that there were more than 400 acres of radishes waiting for them to harvest, they began to weaken their legs before they began to work.
But this is what the king of the county ordered, and they had to do it again, but fortunately, after doing it for a few days, they got used to it, and there were not as many problems as when they did it at the beginning.
The most important thing is that the county king's family really does not treat the food of the subordinates, they eat three meals a day every day, and there is meat every meal, not the kind of minced meat in the dish, but big meat every meal.
One by one, their mouths were full of oil, and they became more and more energetic when they worked.
You must know that the Zhou family wants to make bacon, and there is no shortage of all kinds of bits and pieces of meat, which were not easy to solve before, and most of them went into the mouths of the two tiger girls.
But I really can't eat it all by relying on my mother, and the rest is only sold to the villagers at a low price.
But now it's okay, even if so many people in the family eat meat at once, their family is not afraid.
Although the work of cutting and washing radishes is simple to say, the Zhou family has more than 400 acres of grape fields to harvest radishes, and this is busy for more than ten days.
The snowflakes fell one after another, and Zhou Yu's frozen red hand was holding a cup of hot spring tea, sitting in front of the window and drinking.
The past few days have really tired him, don't look at what county lord he is now, but when the family is really busy, what kind of county lord slaves, all have to be done, they must catch up before the first snow of the year, all these radishes are pickled, otherwise it will not be good to do snow at that time.
It's snowing, and the happiest thing in the village is the slaves of the county king's mansion, and the county king's family won't work so hard when it snows, and they can have a good rest, and they can be tired during this time.
And after the snow, Zhou Yu was even more reluctant to go out, and he stayed at home all day to roast the fire, otherwise he would lie in the quilt and read a book, and he would not want to go out.
The husband and wife were also idle, and a few days ago, because the family was too busy, the Lian family did not go to the workshop again, but went home to help.
Originally, after finishing the work, the Lian family planned to go back to the workshop the next day, but this time Zhou Yu said that he didn't agree to anything, and insisted that the Lian family stay at home and rest for a few days.
Lian's daughter agreed.
On this day, Zhou Yu was roasting in the house, and Qinglin came to the door, this time he came to give Zhou Yu a gift for his master.
Zhou Yu saw Qinglin and saw that the box he brought was opened and looked at. Inside was a lake blue dress.
"The county lord. , My master said, this is for the county lord to prepare for the banquet of the palace in the Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
Along with the clothes, there was also a set of jewelry.
"County lord, these are all drawings drawn by my master and ordered in the shop in person, which is unique in this world."
Qinglin said it very thoroughly, but Zhou Yu looked at the dress he brought and the matching head jewelry, but he was not interested at all.
She didn't think of that dream when she was busy a few days ago, but when Qinglin came over today, she remembered the dream she had a few days ago when she saw Qinglin, and she was a little prejudiced against Yu Zheng.
But since the clothes were delivered, she must have to accept them, don't do it in vain.
"Go back and thank your master for me."
Qinglin didn't get the answer he wanted, and left disappointed. If the county lord can tell him that he will wear this suit to the banquet on the thirtieth night, then it is better for him to go back.
But the county lord didn't say whether she would wear it that night, so how could he tell the master when he went back?
When Qinglin returned to Yu Mansion, Yu Zheng was not surprised when he heard Zhou Yu's reaction. Anyway, Zhou Yu has always been like this to him, and he is used to it.
In fact, the Zhou family also attaches more importance to the palace banquet in the palace of the Chinese New Year's Eve, because this is the first time they have entered the palace to participate in the palace banquet, so the clothes are all made by the family.
However, because the family was too busy, it was just a measure of the size, and it was sent to the best embroidery workshop in Kyoto City.
On the third day after Yu Zheng delivered the dress, the family's custom-made clothes also arrived.
The clothes are good-looking, but Zhou Yu still feels that they can't be compared with what Yu Zheng sent.
After putting away the dress she made at home, Ye Er was also very interested in not asking her girl which one she would wear that day.
And on the twenty-eighth day of the year, the Zhou family came to a man and a woman, and on this day, the whole family went to Kyoto City to buy New Year's goods.
When he went home in the afternoon, Zhou Yu saw Wang Gang and Bai Mo waiting in the courtyard.
Looking at the weather-beaten appearance of the two, Zhou Yu couldn't help but redden.
Wang Gang Bai Mo saw the Zhou family, especially Zhou Yu, and hurriedly took a few steps forward. gave the family three heavy kowtows.
If it weren't for the girl that day, the two of them would have died early, and the general's revenge had been avenged, so they would have no regrets.
"Get up, it's cold on the ground."
Zhou Yu knew that the three heads were not allowed to kowtow, and they were not sure, so after the three of them kowtowed, she went up to help the person up.
"It's good to come back, and you won't leave in the future, right?"
"If you don't leave, we will stay with the girl to protect the girl and the old lady."
The two of them were closed to news in the army, and they didn't deliberately inquire when they came back, so they still don't know that the Zhou family has become relatives of the emperor.
