Old Zhou Tou and Qian's heard Mrs. Liu's mention of their marriage, their spirits lifted, and after thinking about it, it would be more honorable for Bai Shan to get married after he had an official position, and it would not be long after counting, so they smiled and nodded in response.
Because the adults mentioned their marriage, Bai Shan couldn't help looking at Man Bao.
Man Bao was serving soup, so he hesitantly served him a bowl, "Don't you want to drink soup?"
Bai Shan took it, "Now I think about it again."
After lunch, Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu went to Manbao's room to rest together. The three girls huddled together on the same bed and dozed off, but they still wanted to chat.
Man Bao slept in the middle and was squeezed by them, so he simply crossed his legs to make himself more comfortable, "You don't want to go to Huguo Temple?"
Mingda: "We found other excuses, because the third brother left after the fifteenth day, so we said that we wanted to ask the third brother for a safety talisman, and it was useless to use the excuse of doing things for the emperor's grandmother. We have asked the palace people to get it No, we don’t need to go there ourselves.”
Man Bao: "Is Prince Gong such an easy excuse?"
Mingda just laughed: "Father knows it, he won't blame us for it, and third brother won't blame either."
"During the Lantern Festival, you also said to get the peace talisman for Prince Gong, and I will take you to play that day."
Mingda moved, but still shook his head, "No, we are still in Xiaozhong, it is reasonable to go out of the palace to visit your house, but it is not reasonable to go out to have fun, Yushi will impeach him."
Even if the censor doesn't impeach, they will feel sorry, and the father and mother will have opinions.
The queen mother is their real grandmother.
Man Bao sighed, "Okay, then we can only play by ourselves."
Mingda gave her a push, "You can play as long as you want, and talk about it."
Man Baoji thief said: "I will make you envious."
Mingda burst out laughing, leaning against her head, remembering something, squeezed her and said, "Tell me about your road to the Western Regions again. I heard from my father that the grassland is huge and endless. The fields in Huangzhuang are even bigger, and you can’t see the edge at a glance. The sky is not like a mountain here, but a flat land connecting the mountains?"
Man Bao said: "Some look at mountains, some look at no mountains. But the grassland is very beautiful, especially after autumn, the grass grows as long as the calf of a cow, and as high as the thigh of a sheep, and the sheep gnaw on it. Grass eating, inexperienced shepherds can't see how many sheep there are, anyway, I can't see it all the time, only when the wind blows past, the hidden flock of sheep will appear... "
Mingda yearns for it.
Chang Yu lay on the side outside and counted the gemstones she got this time with her fingers, thinking about what kind of jewelry to wear. After thinking about it, she turned to Man Bao and asked Ming Da, "I don't have much gold in my hands. If you want to make jewelry, I'm afraid it's not enough, can you lend me some?"
Mingda nodded, "No problem, if you want someone to tell you later, I'll have someone weigh it for you."
After speaking, he continued to pull Man Bao to hear about their suppression of bandits and finding treasures.
Changyu made the calculations and became happy, "Then I can get more than ten sets of jewelry."
Man Bao couldn't continue talking with Ming Da, and turned to look at Chang Yu, "You want to make so many jewelry?"
Mingda was also startled, and reminded: "It's still the time of filial piety."
Changyu: "I don't wear it, I just ask someone to do it first."
Man Bao said: "If you want me to say, you might as well choose what you like and keep it like me, and sell the rest. You have gems and spices in your hands, so you can't use them all yourself? Although you are a princess, The food and lodging are all in the palace, so you don’t need to spend your own money, but you also said that you should get married before next year, so you have to prepare more things for yourself. Jewelry and other things are not easy to cash in. When it’s important, gems and Spices are actually worthless, and the most useful things are gold, silver, copper coins and cloth."
Changyu, "But I'm not short of money."
She is a princess, even if she gets married, she still has the dowry from the palace and the care of her husband's family. She just needs to ensure that she lives well.
In Changyu's words, "All the money I earn will be spent on me. If I don't spend Wei Yu's money on me, I'm already very virtuous."
Man Bao and Ming Da nodded, and then said: "But your money must not be enough for yourself."
Changyu was not convinced, "Who says it's not enough?"
Mingda: "Don't you borrow gold from me now?"
Chang Yu was silent for a while, and then asked Man Bao, "When will your fourth brother come back?"
Man Bao said: "After harvesting the spring tea, he will come to Beijing after harvesting the spring tea and some seasonal medicinal materials. He will send the tea and cloth to the grassland to exchange goods. If you want to sell things, you can find my niece. "
She said, "My second niece and two nephews are in charge of the business in the capital now."
Changyu sat up from the bed, "I'll go talk to them."
Mingda held her back, "Lie down first, do you think there is anyone outside now?"
Zhou Lijun and the others also went to rest. The whole Zhou residence was peaceful, but even when Zhou Lijun was resting, he did not lie down, but sat cross-legged on the couch and made plans.
Xiang Mingxue walked in and saw it, he couldn't help but asked with a smile, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Lijun wrote down a number in the account book and said: "My sister's account, the people brought by the princess have been arranged?"
Xiang Mingxue nodded, "I've already eaten, now I'm going to rest."
He walked over to take a look, smiled and said, "Zhou... sister-in-law is richer than the rest of the family."
Zhou Lijun said as a matter of course: "Of course, my sister earns the most."
After Zhou Lijun received the account book, he said to Xiang Mingxue: "The third uncle said that the grapes at home have started to climb vines, and they will bear fruit in two years. I asked my aunt, and she said that the recipe for wine making given by my sister-in-law is not difficult, but It takes one or two years to make wine, but the place where wine is made must be clean, so I thought about building a wine cellar in the village in advance, so that the grapes can be used as soon as they bear fruit, so there is no need to be too busy."
Xiang Mingxue was stunned for a moment and asked, "You want to go back?"
Zhou Lijun looked at him curiously, "Didn't you say that you want to go back to worship your ancestors? Since you go back to worship your ancestors, you can stop at my house for a while when you come back, and then return to Beijing."
The two of them got married last year, but they didn't go back to their hometown. Xiang Mingxue always wanted to go back to pay homage to his ancestors. Now that he is married, although he hasn't had a child yet, it's a big deal and he has to tell his family.
It just happened that Zhou Man was outside the pass, and Zhou's family was worried, so Zhou Lijun went to Xiazhou to sit in town and wait for Zhou Man to come back.
Xiang Mingxue didn't expect that she would still remember this matter, so he couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, "Okay, let's stay for a while then."
He sat beside her and asked, "When shall we go back?"
Zhou Lijun said: "Let's get out all the goods brought back this time, and the gems and spices in my sister's hands are almost sold in the capital, and the rest have to be taken back to Yizhou, so it will be easier to sell." .”
Xiang Mingxue: ... There is always a feeling that she went back to sell the goods in her hand.
