I don't know which one brought the duck goods into the gambling house first, but inexplicably, there are more and more customers ordering duck goods in the gambling house.

So the manager of the gambling house came to the duck shop and signed a supply contract with the duck shop.

With this supply contract, the business of the duck store has reached a new level.

Fortunately, the Han family and the Xin family helped raise ducks in advance, so the supply was not a problem, but the manpower was really insufficient, and more people had to be recruited.

It's just that with the boom in business, Li Ershan is getting busier and busier.

If it goes on like this, I don't know when this kid will get married.

Worry about.

Before going to bed, Li Qiao did not tell Tao Zhu about his conversation with Sheng Hong today, as before, he was afraid of scaring Tao Zhu.

Sheng Hong came here coldly, it was indeed quite scary.

However, why did Sheng Hong ask this?

Sheng Hong obviously praised the three princes, and the various measures of the three princes are indeed very good, what does Sheng Hong mean by this?

This kind of problem must be solved by the Seventh Prince.

However, the Seventh Prince is busier than usual, at the end of the year, all cases should be tried, and the verdict should be judged, he wants to let innocent people go home for a good year, and he also wants to let people with sinful hands not be able to spend this year.

The Seven Princes are busy, Li Qiao is also busy, and the New Year is about to begin, and officials from all over the country who are qualified to go to the fold have handed Sheng Hong an excerpt to greet him, and sent some New Year's gifts by the way.

Before, the heavy snow blocked the road, and the excerpts were trapped on the road, but now the heavy snow has melted somewhat, and these excerpts have entered Beijing.

In addition, each yamen must summarize this year's work and then present it to Sheng Hong.

Li Qiao, as Sheng Hong's ghostwriter, immediately entered overtime mode after the snow disaster, and had to approve a lot of excerpts every day.

After entering the lunar month, officials can ask for leave, if they don't want to ask for leave, then the fifteenth day of the lunar month is also officially on holiday.

In previous years, these excerpts Sheng Hong waited for the officials to take a few university scholars to deal with it slowly, and the annual leave was one month.

But now, those folds that are full of flowers but have nothing but sycophants, he doesn't bother to look at them, and pushes them all to Li Qiao.

He didn't bother to read the work summary of the various yamen, anyway, isn't that all there is to this year?

Leave it to Li Aiqing for approval.

Even said that the performance list of Dasheng officials handed over by the ministry, sometimes when he was tired, he would ask Li Qiao to go through it for him first and refine the most surprising ones.

Li Qiao's workload has increased dramatically.

It was dark when I went out every morning, and it was still dark when I came home.

The donkeys of the production team are not called like this!

What made him even more tired was that after Laba, Sheng Hong received more than a dozen letters asking for the crown prince.

The lowest part of the upper fold is also a five-rank official, not only a Beijing official, but also a prefect in charge of a government from other places.

Li Qiao understands that these dozen or so letters are just a temptation.

After Sheng Hong's illness recovered last time, someone went to the excerpt and hoped to establish a prince, but at that time, Sheng Hong just pressed the excerpt down and did not approve it.

In addition, the third prince and the fifth prince were fighting hotly at that time, so this matter was over.

Now that the five princes are finished, and the three princes are becoming more and more famous because of the disaster relief, at this time, the upper prince asks for the crown prince, which is speaking for the three princes.

The three princes had a wave of blood, and they wanted to see the return immediately, but the three princes couldn't even wait for this New Year.

After the year, there will definitely be a large number of courtiers on the fold to let Sheng Hong canonize the crown prince, recently the three princes can be active, the wine banquet continues, I can't wait to put the Manchu Dynasty civil and military capital in his arms.

Thinking of Sheng Hong's behavior of praising the three princes in public above the early dynasty, Li Qiao was a little anxious.

The Seventh Prince forced the Three Princes to take over the task of disaster relief, because they wanted the Three Princes to make mistakes after hemorrhaging and then collecting money, would the Three Princes make mistakes? The third prince did not bleed at all this time......

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, all officials are officially on holiday.

But Li Qiao didn't have a holiday, and he hadn't finished dealing with the folds that Sheng Hong pushed him.

After the holiday, he still wears the stars and wears the moon to go out early and return late, even a blind person can see the weight of Li Qiao in front of Sheng Hong.

Tao Zhu receives many posts every day, either wanting to visit the door to give New Year's gifts, or inviting him and Li Qiao to a banquet.

Tao Zhu simply called Zhao Shen home and asked Zhao Shen to help deal with these, Zhao Shen was clever and the most suitable for doing this.

Zhao Shen was very happy to get this errand, and his Uncle Zhu finally reused him!

In fact, before his Uncle Zhu said that he would open another hot pot shop to be managed by him, he was very happy at that time, and now, his happiness has doubled.

Because of the interpersonal relationship with the foreign government, this work can only be done by the big housekeeper and the housekeeper next to Mrs. Zhao in the Zhao Mansion.

Now that Uncle Zhu has put him in charge of this, this is starting to trust him, and this is starting to treat him as a family member.

Very good!

To be honest, he was only in charge of the dim sum shop before, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, even if he married Xia Xia, his Uncle Buckwheat and Uncle Zhu didn't worry about him.

It's uncomfortable for anyone.

Only Xia Xia, a person with a simple mind like a stream, can't see his Uncle Zhu and Uncle Buck's defense of him.

Xia Xia can't see it, he naturally won't sow discord with his mouth, at least, after getting married, Xia Xia, the husband, really treats him as a family, and he is no longer like a rootless duckweed like before.

He has a home, a family.

It's a lot better than it used to be.

Right now! That's even better!

Zhao Shen was happy when Tao Zhu planned to put him in charge of the branch of the hot pot shop, but the reason couldn't be told to Li Xiaming, so he could only toss Li Xia on the kang.

With his daily efforts, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, when Xu Ying, Shen Hua, Meng Yue, and Zhuang Wen all gathered at Li Qiao's house to drink, Li Xia suddenly vomited.

Call the doctor to take a look, Li Xia is pregnant.

The month is still shallow, only one and a half months, but Li Xia reacted so much that he vomited when he smelled the greasy smell.

Li Xia is pregnant, coupled with Zheng Qianqian, this is a double happiness.

Shen Hua was envious, looking at the two little cubs of Li Qian Taozhu who were wearing parent-child clothes, and then at Zheng Qianqian, Li Dashan, Li Xiaorui's family of three, and when he went home, he couldn't help but lead Xu Ying to the kang.

Don't work hard night and night, work hard during the day!

By the way, I will go to the bad luck of last year's prison, and it is best to get pregnant today!

Xu Ying couldn't cry or laugh a little, but she also followed him, and after some warmth, the room was dark, Xu Ying got off the kang and lit candles, and let people carry hot water by the way.

Shen Hua was lying on the hot kang, lazy, feeling that the kang was a little hot, so he exposed his hands and feet, and only covered his upper body with a futon.

Xu Ying turned her head to see him like this, and hurriedly walked over: "Beware of catching a cold." ”

As he spoke, he was to cover him with the futon.

Shen Hua's whole body was red, and one turned over, and directly rolled up the futon and moved away: "I'm hot!" ”

"It's uncomfortable to catch a cold." Xu Ying simply went to the kang and wanted him to lie down.

Seeing this, Shen Hua's mouth suddenly pursed: "This year, we must change the big house, and then build a warm house too." ”

If it's in a conservatory, then you don't have to worry about catching a cold.

"Okay." Xu Ying hugged him with a smile, kissed him on the lips, and then moved him to the middle of the kang, and said while covering him with the futon: "Brother Li is also going to change houses, you can go and see with Brother Zhu'er, so that we can live close again." ”

"Hmm!" Shen Hua replied heavily.

This year, someone is coming from Sanliu Village, and the house in which he enters Brother Zhu's house is not enough to live in, so he has to change to a bigger house.

He tilted his head to look at Xu Ying, from this angle, he could only see Xu Ying's chin, but his cousin's chin was also extremely good-looking!

He raised his hand and scratched Xu Ying's chin lightly, and said curiously: "When you came out of the study just now, I saw that your brows were slightly furrowed, what's wrong?" ”

Xu Ying had already sorted out the futon for him at this time, and when he heard this, he first stuffed his exposed arm back into the futon, and then hugged him through the futon, and said: "Yesterday, we received a post from the third prince, inviting me to go to Yunxiao Tower to eat wine the day after tomorrow, I thought he only invited a few people from our dinner and silver office, it turned out that he also invited Brother Wen and Brother Meng." ”

He was an unpopular five-rank official of the yamen, and he was not worthy of the three princes to give him a seat alone, so he thought that the three princes invited their entire rice and silver office.

It turned out to be not.

The three princes opened a separate seat this time, and they went to Li Qiao.

"Moreover, Brother Li has been worrying about the saint in the palace a few years ago, he ran to the palace diligently, caught Brother Li and said a lot of things, not only invited Brother Li to drink, but also said that he has a lot of fields and shops in his hands, if Brother Li wants to buy, he can sell them at any time."

“…… How can there be Meng Yue? Meng Yue and the Seventh Prince are getting closer. ”

Shen Hua blinked, his red face full of puzzlement.

"But who made Meng Yue have a good relationship with Brother Li, you have to try to win it over."

Xu Ying sighed slightly.

Vexation.

Although he is not interested in being promoted, if the third prince really becomes the crown prince, then the three of them will be begging for a living in the hands of the third prince in the future.

There is also Li Qiao, although Li Qiao is quite sacred, he can only raise a smile on the three princes at this time, and he dare not offend or refuse thoroughly.

Now the four of them are hillbillies from small places, and they can only count on the Seven Princes.

Alas.

The author has something to say:

This New Year is the seventh New Year after Li Qiao's crossing~

Chapter 166: The Li Family's Trivia, Tao Zhu's Life Plan Help the weak

Li Qiao's attitude towards the three princes is very simple:

Dragging.

The attitude of the seventh prince towards the third prince is similar to that towards the fifth prince, it can be seen that the third prince is also cannon fodder, so let's drag it out.

Let's see if the three princes can make a big drama when they go to work after the year.

As for Meng Yue, Zhuang Wen, and Xu Ying's worries, he couldn't hint at anything, he could only make the same sad face as these three people, looking forward to the guidance of the Seventh Prince.
