After Su Fengnuan was led by Ye Chang into his office, he glanced at the furnishings inside and couldn't help laughing.
Ye Chang took the hand stove in her hand and put it down, helped her untie the cloak, and looked at her with a smile, "What makes you smile so happily?"
Su Fengnuan glanced at him back, and said with a smile, "Do you regard this as my boudoir? Get some things from your daughter's house and put them here. If someone who doesn't know why comes in, you will think you have entered a woman's boudoir No wonder the Minister of the Household Department was so shocked when he saw me, he thought you and I were going to build a nest in this important place."
Ye Chang laughed when she heard the words, and folded her cloak and said, "It's because he has too many ideas. If you build a nest in such a broken place, and the snow, the moon and the wind, don't you feel wronged?"
Su Fengnuan was overjoyed, and said to him, "This is really touching my heart." After saying that, he leaned on the soft couch, picked up a book on the soft couch, waved his hand to Ye Chang, "Busy your business! Leave me alone."
Ye Chang poured a cup of tea for her by himself, and said, "It's almost noon, what do you want to eat?"
Su Fengnuan glanced at the sky, and then suddenly said, "It's almost noon!" After saying that, he asked him, "If the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs don't go back to their homes, where will they have lunch?"
Ye Chang said, "People in the mansion need to do a good job and send the food here."
Su Fengnuan looked at the snow and cold wind outside and said, "It's such a cold day, the food will be cold when it's delivered here."
Ye Chang nodded, "However, when you are not busy, you can go back to the house to eat, but the Ministry of Finance is a place with a lot of things. Throughout the year, the officials here have a limited number of times to go back to the house for lunch. It is the same no matter how cold it is in winter."
Su Feng warmly said, "Why don't you set up a separate kitchen in the household department? Find a cook for the officials of the household department to have lunch."
Ye Chang smiled and said, "The Ministry of Housing is an important place, do you think anyone can easily set foot here?"
Su Fengnuan thinks about it too, ordinary cooks naturally cannot come in here. She suggested to Ye Chang, "Call a cook from your mansion! Come with me every day, and after making lunch, go back to Rong'an Palace. The monthly salary of the cook will be doubled. How about it? No matter how busy you are , you can also eat warm meals, and you don’t need to be sent here.”
Ye Chang smiled and said, "I have this idea. After all, you have to take care of your body now. If you stay here with me, even if you can make Qianhan deliver the food quickly, you won't be able to eat well." After finishing the sentence, he said, "But Don’t worry about today, we need to open up a kitchen in the household department, and we need to prepare for it. Let Qian Han go to Zui Qing Zhai today to order some food and have it delivered.”
Su Fengnuan nodded, and said to Ye Chang, "The braised goose in Zuiqingzhai is the most delicious, order one."
Ye Chang smiled and nodded, "Steamed cod is also delicious."
Su Fengnuan nodded again, "The glutinous rice and lotus root are also delicious."
Ye Chang nodded and said, "Cuihu Drunken Shrimp is also okay."
Su Fengnuan said, "I want one serving of Eight Treasure Soup, and sweet-scented osmanthus wine..."
Ye Chang laughed, "Stop it, you're taking medicine now, you can't drink alcohol."
Su Fengnuan looked at him and said with a smile, "I can't drink alcohol in such a cold day, but you can."
Ye Chang shook his head, "If I drink, how can you bear to be greedy? Don't want it anymore." After saying that, he shouted outside, "Qianhan."
"My son!" Qian Han responded at the door.
Ye Chang reported the name of the dish and ordered Qian Han to go to Zui Qing Zhai.
Qian Han responded and hurried to go.
After Qian Han left, Su Fengnuan picked up the book again and flipped through it. Ye Chang sat in front of the table, flipping through the files of the household department, sometimes frowning, sometimes quietly thinking.
Half an hour later, Qian Han came back with a tightly wrapped basket, Ye Chang put down his book, and called Su Fengnuan to have lunch.
Su Fengnuan put down the scroll, went to Ye Chang's side, and asked him with a smile, "Didn't you find the scroll I just read and put it here for me to read?"
Ye Chang smiled and nodded.
Su Fengnuan said, "Let me just say, how can there be such a book about unofficial history in the household department, and it just suits my appetite."
Ye Chang smiled and said, "The Ministry of Household Affairs is strict. Officials can't understand the files every day. How can there be such a book?" After finishing speaking, he said, "I thought it would be boring if you just stay here. , so I found some idle books for you to read." After finishing the sentence, he casually pointed to a wooden box in the northeast corner, "After you finish reading the volume in your hand, you can go there to find it."
Su Fengnuan followed his gaze and said, "Such a big box contains hundreds of books, right?"
Ye Chang said "hmm", "You probably haven't seen it before."
Su Fengnuan laughed, "It's enough for me to watch it for a few months."
Ye Chang smiled and nodded.
After lunch, Ye Chang continued to work, and Su Fengnuan continued to read the scroll.
All the officials in the Household Department, including the Minister of the Household Department, listened to Ye Chang's movements with their ears pricked up. After noon, it was very quiet for half a day. There was no movement, and the two of them rarely even talked. . They all thought to themselves that Ye Shizi and Miss Su were really two special people. If young men and women were alone in a room, they would inevitably fall in love, but for half a day, they were too quiet.
During this period, the Hubu Shangshu felt that he was not at ease, so he came to Ye Chang's room for an excuse, and saw the two of them flipping through the file, and the other lying on the couch reading quietly, each had something to do, so they didn't talk at all, he secretly I thought, if it was like this every day, it would be fine for Ms. Su to stay in the household department, and it would not disturb the order of the household department.
The day flies by.
When the time came, Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan left the house, the sky was still snowing, but the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the ground had already fallen half a foot deep.
Su Fengnuan held the hand stove and said to Ye Chang, "This year's snow is comparable to the year you were in Lushan Academy." After saying that, she looked up at the sky and said, "I'm afraid this kind of snow will fall. It's been two days and nights."
Ye Chang raised his head and glanced at the sky, the sky and the earth were already white, the roofs of the houses were covered by heavy snow, and the place where he saw was snow-white. He said, "In that year, many places in the world were hit by snow disasters. Many people's houses were crushed by the heavy snow, and the roads were frozen to death. If this kind of snow fell for two days and nights, some places would be affected."
Su Fengnuan rolled up his sleeves and said, "If there is a snowstorm somewhere, you will be even more busy when you just entered the household department."
Ye Chang said, "I'm not afraid of this. I always want to clean up the household department. It's just that many poor people have suffered and died. Relief after the snow is not as good as disaster prevention before the snow."
Su Fengnuan heard the words, "It is true that disaster relief after the snow is not as good as disaster prevention before the snow, but it is really not easy to ensure that no matter how big the natural disaster is, the people will not suffer from it. At least, the state officials in the Southern Qi Dynasty are rich and strong. To such an extent, the imperial court’s policies for governing the country must be popularized by the people everywhere, so that the world will be safe and the people will be in Chang’an.”
Ye Chang sighed, and mocked, "Nowadays in Southern Qi, what do you want the court's governance policy to spread to the people everywhere? It's good to be stable."
Su Fengnuan is speechless. Southern Qi is now a prosperous paper. It is prosperous and rich on the surface, but in fact it is full of dirt. If the government's governance policy is to spread to the people everywhere, it can only be done by the government and the people. less than.
The two of them talked and drove back to Rong An Palace.
There was a Su Mansion's carriage parked at the gate of Rong An's Palace. Su Fengnuan raised his eyebrows when he saw his own carriage.
Seeing the two of them returning to the mansion, the butler greeted Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Su, Mrs. Su is here, and she is now discussing the six rituals with Mr. Ye. people come back, go to him."
Ye Chang nodded, and went directly to Patriarch Ye's residence with Su Fengnuan.
When I came to the residence of Patriarch Ye, Mrs. Su was there. Seeing the two coming in hand in hand, she immediately smiled and said to Ye Chang, "Xiao Chang, I heard that you went to the household department to bring Nuaner today? Yushitai impeached you and Su The girl's notebooks have now been piled up on the emperor's jade table in a basket."
Ye Chang smiled and said, "There are too many cases of impeachment against me over the years, so ignore them."
Mrs. Su said, "Women are not allowed to step into important places, especially the six major places. It is tantamount to being involved in politics. This time it is different from the past when you are messing around. Have you thought about a countermeasure?"
Ye Chang smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, it's fine. I'll take care of it tomorrow morning."
Madam Su felt relieved when she heard the words, and said with a smile, "That's good."
Patriarch Ye said to the two of them, "Today, I have discussed with Lord Wang and reported the six ceremonial days you set to the emperor, the Ministry of Rites, and the clan." After finishing speaking, he said, "The emperor and the Ministry of Rites have no objections, only the clan There, the King of Jin said something was wrong with setting the date of the wedding."
Ye Chang raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What's wrong?"
Patriarch Ye said, "King Jin said that half a year is too rushed and too short. You have just entered the household department, and you have a heavy burden on you. Within half a year, you have to diagnose and treat the household department, and you have to prepare for the big wedding. If you are exhausted, the time can be moved back, and it will take a year anyway."
Ye Chang laughed, "Prince Jin really loves me." After saying that, he shook his head, "Don't pay attention to him, I think it's too long to delay for half a year. Just follow the date we set, and the clan is just a report , he still can’t be my home.”
Master Ye said, "King Jin has been taking good care of you for many years, and his opinion cannot be ignored..."
Ye Chang said, "Grandpa just set the date according to what we have set. When he is there, I will tell him when I meet him."
Patriarch Ye nodded when he heard the words, "I think, with me here, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Su, the few of us can handle your wedding affairs. It doesn't take you to be too busy. Half a year's time I'm not in a hurry."
Mrs. Su took it and said, "I don't think it's rushed, the date is pretty good." After saying that, she said to Su Fengnuan, "Your father wrote a letter today, saying that he will return to Beijing in half a month."
