The food was already on the table, and Yun Qing and Yuxi arrived.
Zaozao said after seeing the two of them, "Father, mother, I have been back with Liu'er for a long time, and neither of you knows to come and see us. It's so sad." He said sad, but his face was sad. With a smile.
Yun Qing glanced at Zaozao and said, "What did you say before? Let you take care of your mother and Liu'er. What happened? How did you take care of it?" If Zaozao hadn't kicked off the quilt, Liu'er would not get cold. .
The jujube was deficient and bowed its head.
Upon seeing this, Qiyou changed the subject: "Second sister, I will take you out to eat delicious food in two days."
Brother Xuan nodded hurriedly after hearing this, "Yes, second sister, the pig's feet and crucian carp in sauce are so delicious. You will definitely want to eat it when you eat it."
Zaozao smiled and said: "I don't look at the price. A pig's feet costs a dozen silver. Who buys it if it doesn't taste good?" A pig is only three or four silver at most.
The dishes at Deyuelou are delicious, but the problem is that the prices are not cheap. Her monthly salary is enough for one meal.
"Fu Ji Restaurant will open soon." Fu Ji Restaurant has recruited two more chefs. In a place with rich people like Beijing, there is no need to worry about no business.
Qiyou's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed: "That's great." When they go to Fu Ji Restaurant for dinner, they can keep the bill without paying. All his money has been spent in the past few months.
Zaozao scolded with a smile: "You foodie."
Yuxi smiled and said, "Just like you, that little monthly bill is not enough for you." People have to be a little interested, so she never said that Qiyou is delicious before.
Qiyou said with a bitter face, "Yes! I'm always stretched. Mother, do you think it's time to increase the monthly bill!" Twenty taels of silver are really not enough! The New Year's Eve money received during the holidays and the rewards received are all used up.
Yuxi laughed and said, "If you double it again, it won't be enough for you." The capital is expensive, and forty taels of silver are not enough for a big meal in Deyue Tower.
Qiyou asked bitterly, "What should I do? If this continues, I will soon have a deficit."
Zaozao was inexplicable: "The deficit?" What did this mean, why she didn't understand.
Qiyou glanced at Zaozao, shook his head and said, "Eldest sister, you should read more!" It is also very worrying to have an illiterate older sister.
Liuer softly explained in Zaozao's ear.
Zaozao snorted at Qiyou after hearing it, "I originally wanted to support you a little bit, but now it seems to be forgotten." She even dared to ridicule her. If her parents were not here, she would definitely have to beat up this stinky boy. .
Qiyou didn't expect the three melons and two dates: "Mother, I want to do business to make money, do you think it's okay?" In Qiyou's perception, doing business makes money faster.
Before Yuxi could speak, Yun Qing refused: "No, what is your business as a kid? Your first task now is to learn things."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Yuxi smiled and said, "The dishes are all on the table. Let's eat first, and talk about the rest later."
Qiyou said obediently, "Okay." His mother had the final say on the family affairs. If his mother didn't refuse, it meant that there was something to be done.
The dinner is very hearty, and the dishes are everyone's favorite. On weekdays, Liu'er eats at seven points full, but he has eaten a little bit even if he didn't control it just now.
Zao Zao said cheerfully: "I said before that eating too much dry food and drinking cabbage soup are delicious in the world. You still don't believe it, do you believe it now?"
Liuer smiled and nodded.
Yuxi looked at the two sisters and said: "Let's go for a walk in the imperial garden." By the way, chat and talk.
Qiyou hurriedly said, "Mother, what about me?"
Yuxi said, "I have no objection to you if you want to do business, but doing business is not that simple. You have to give your mother a charter? There is nothing, what do you ask your mother to say."
When Qiyou thinks about it, it is indeed: "Mother, then I think of a good project, will you give me the principal?"
"No, you have to solve this by yourself." After a pause, Yuxi added: "You can't do business by yourself, and you can't use your name. You need to solve it yourself."
Hearing this, Qiyou suddenly became bitter.
Yun Qing heard that Yuxi mentioned so many restrictions, so he didn't object.
As a result, as soon as the couple arrived at the gate of the garden, they saw Si Bonian coming over and replied: "The prince, the princess, and the Lord Tan, please see you." Something must have happened to the meeting this night.
Without any hesitation, the couple returned to the Imperial Study Room.
Liu'er looked at the back of the two of them and couldn't help shaking his head: "Daddy and my mother don't even have time for a walk, and they are too busy."
Zaozao said with a smile: "If you want to keep your parents busy, you can only hope that Qi Hao can grow up soon." Before this, parents will definitely not be easy.
The garden is very beautiful, but the two sisters were also tired, and went back to sleep after walking around for a while.
On May 30th, the Qiu family and his party arrived in Beijing. When they arrived in Beijing, it was already night.
At the gate, everyone got out of the carriage. Qiu's pointed at the door and smiled and said, "It's exactly the same as when I left." The only difference is that the four characters of'Korea Gongfu' have been replaced by'Hanfu'.
Thinking of this, Qiu's is a little sad.
At this time, Lu Xiu walked out with brother Shun and the Liu family. Seeing the Qiu family, Lu Xiu said with a smile on her face: "Mother, I look forward to your home day and night. I finally look forward to it today."
Zhong Minxiu bowed to Lu Xiufu: "I have seen my second aunt."
Lu Xiu pulled Zhong Minxiu and praised: "My mother has the foresight and found such a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law for Brother Chang."
Qiu's face is also full of smiles: "Just your mouth is sweet." Daughter-in-law and grand-daughter will coax her into happiness, which is also Qiu's blessing.
After finishing speaking, Qiu Shi pointed to Xiang Zixin and said, "This is your sister-in-law and Ye brother."
Lu Xiu smiled and called out: "Sister-in-law." Xiang's age is about the same as her daughter-in-law Juanjuan, but she is in the same generation as her. It was Lu Xiuzao who was mentally prepared, but it was still a little unnatural at the moment.
After entering the gate, he looked at several small sedan chairs. Qiu Shi shook his head and said, "Don't sit on the sedan chair, just walk in." After leaving for more than ten years, she wanted to take a good look at the house.
Lu Xiu smiled and said, "Mother, after driving such a long way, I'd better go back to the house and rest. I'll wait for two days with you to take a good look at this house."
Xiang Shi and Zhong Minxiu didn't know what this house was like before, so they couldn't remember the past with Qiu. The only candidate is naturally Lu Xiu.
Zhong Minxiu was also tired from riding in the carriage. Hearing this, he said hurriedly: "Grandma, the second aunt is right. Let's go back to the house and rest. We will watch when we are free." She couldn't bear it and wanted to go early. rest.
Xiang held Brother Ye and said nothing. Since the incident with the water bandits, her words in front of the Qiu family became less.
The group went to the upper courtyard first.
Looking at the furnishings in the room, Qiu's eyes were a little red: "It's still the same as when I left." When Lu Xiu arrived, the yard was empty and the ground was dug into potholes. In order to restore the appearance they were when they left, Lu Xiu has tried her best.
Of course, there are still subtle differences in some places. Like the previous furniture carved with bat patterns, now these are carved with begonia or auspicious cloud patterns.
Lu Xiu said with some regret: "It's a pity that the previous cook can't find it, or it would be better." At the beginning, many servants couldn't take care of it. These people were also scattered all over.
Speaking of this, Qiu asked: "It's okay, I brought the chef back from Jiangnan." The chef's surname Xiao was found by Han Jianming with great effort. This lady chef cooks very well vegetable dishes, and she cooks a good soup. In recent years, Qiu's family has become accustomed to eating the food she cooks, and she is not used to changing people.
Lu Xiu smiled and said: "Then I'm relieved." I was worried about the cook, but Qiu's did not expect to solve it by himself.
After a few words, Qiu's saw Zhong Minxiu and Xiang's tired faces, and said, "You all go back and rest!"
Xiang lives in the main courtyard. As for Brother Chang, he lives in the courtyard where Han Jianye and Lu Xiu lived. Of course, it is impossible for Lu Xiu to bother to restore these two yards, and there is no need for that. She arranged it, and the two might not like it.
Lu Xiu personally took Xiang to the main courtyard: "Sister-in-law, this house has not been occupied for ten years, so it was renovated. Because the time is too short, many places are unsatisfactory. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me. ."
Xiang said with a smile: "Why? It's all mine. It should be my own business, but it makes my younger brothers and sisters tired."
Grape frowned.
Lu Xiu had a lot of things, so he sent Xiang to the main courtyard and said a few more words before turning away.
Except for the bed, the house had nothing on Duobao Pavilion, and there were no other decorations, which made it very empty. Xiaocao said dissatisfiedly: "Is this too crude?" Xiaocao is the newly selected maid of the Xiang clan. He is very clever and his father is the younger brother of Han Gao's son-in-law.
Dafang had nothing in Gaocheng except for the things of the Qiu family and the Ye family. Han Jianming gave Lu Xiu a sum of money before, but these were all used to repair the house. Lu Xiu has children and daughters, so how could it be possible to show them his things. No matter how hard it is, it is impossible to spend money and materials.
Xiang also felt that it was too simple, frowning and said: "Forget it, we will do it ourselves when the things arrive."
Xiaocao said angrily: "Ma'am, the master gave the second wife such a large sum of money, and he turned it into this way. This is too greedy." She thinks it is necessary for the Xiang family to follow up on this matter. Said the master.
The futon just walked in and said with a cold face when he heard these words: "How do you know that the second lady is greedy? If you let the old lady know this, even the lady will have to eat and hang it." Without proof, I dare to say something. Really bold.
Xiaocao shrank his head and dared not say anything.
Xiang said to Xiaocao, "I'm hungry. Go to the kitchen and see if you have something to eat."
Xiaocao knew that this was to send her out and the two of them wanted to talk, so they ran out hurriedly.
The futon lowered his voice and said, "Madam, this girl really can't stay by her side, or she will get into trouble sooner or later." Dare to say anything, this is a hatred for Madam!
Xiang was silent and said, "Let it go first, then take a look." It was mainly because of Xiaocao's identity that she was reluctant to give up. Her dowry is not strong enough, and the news is lagging behind. Therefore, I am eager to win some people for her use.
The futon nodded and said nothing.
On the other side, the lotus looked at the empty house and felt very simple.
Zhong Minxiu looked at the question very thoroughly: "All the things accumulated in the Guogong Mansion before have been raided. There are no more things in the Gongzhong. What do you want the second lady to display for us?"
The lotus hesitated and said, "I heard that the princess has a reward every year and festival. In addition, the old man bought a lot of things in Gaocheng a few years ago, right?"
"Instead of you, would you put these things in our house? It must be impossible." Put them in their house, that's their stuff. She didn't want to change to her. It doesn't matter if you work hard, you can still post it, unless it is the Virgin, it is impossible for a normal person to do this kind of thing. And those who are in charge of the feed, don't get a bit of hard work from it, it's less.
Zhong Minxiu's butler also took advantage of it, but Zhong Minxiu didn't make a lot of fish, and her skill was not obvious. Although Xiang heard the wind, he couldn't grasp the handle.
After sweeping the empty room, Zhong Minxiu said: "It's good to do this, we can arrange it according to our own hearts." If the second aunt does it properly, she won't be able to rearrange it if she doesn't like it. In this case, I thought there was any dissatisfaction with the second aunt!
Han Jianming escorted things behind, so this meeting hasn't arrived in Beijing yet. However, the impeachment to impeach him came to the imperial case the next day.
After reading Zhezi, Yuxi smiled and said to Dr. Yushi Chen Lei: "Of the eight boats my elder brother brought, six of them are the dowry I bought for Zaozao and Liuer."
Chen Lei asked suspiciously: "Really?"
Yuxi laughed and said: "I don't have to lie to you. In addition, I brought these things into Beijing with gothic intentions to attract water bandits."
Chen Lei also knew about the imperial court's suppression of a group of water bandits who had been entrenched in Beijing-Hangzhou shipping for more than 20 years.
Although Yuxi explained this way, Chen Lei did not think that the impeachment of Han Jianming was wrong. When Han Jianming went to Jiangnan, he was empty-handed, but now he has two big boats when he returns to Beijing, either embezzling or taking bribes or using power for personal gain. But Yuxi obviously didn't intend to investigate, so he wisely didn't worry about it anymore.
Yun Qing knew Han Jianming's details a long time ago, but he didn't comment on the matter, but he was puzzled by another question: "How can the Yushi news be so well-versed?" Everything was still on the way, and Chen Lei actually got the news.
Yuxi smiled and said: "It has been four days since my eldest brother arrived at Tianjin Port, and Chen Lei's speed is considered slow." It took almost a day for the eight major ships to unload. This number can't help but make people think that Yushi would be impeached in Yuxi's expectation when he got the news.
Yun Qing suddenly remembered something: "The three-foot-tall red coral that the eldest brother Tao bought will be for jujube or willow?"
Yuxi smiled and asked, "Give to whomever you want?"
Yun Qing meant that no one would give it to anyone: "You often say that you don't have to worry about being scarce, but you don't have to suffer from unevenness. I think it's best not to give it to both of you, and it's good to keep it in Kunning Palace."
"Zaozao and Liuer are not such prudent people." Besides, she would not favor one another. If Red Coral gave Zaozhao, she would definitely compensate Liuer. But since Yun Qing spoke, she didn't veto: "Then stay and put it in Kunning Palace then." Living in Qianqing Palace is very convenient, and Yuxi doesn't want to go to Kunning Palace. It's just that she has no intention of breaking the rules.
