It's just that the Marquis in front of me is too difficult to serve! You must have plans, records, and summaries when doing things. You must answer everything you ask immediately! You are not allowed to invite a master! In the past, colleagues were not allowed to have fun every day when they were in office.
Everything in the future was done by Master, why did it change when I came to Master Hou! However, they have come to this point, and they have to rely on Wu Ninghou if they want to prosper, so they can only grit their teeth and hold on!
When they crossed the road outside the city and approached Liu Haojia's fiefdom, the houses and people here became denser! The neighing of cattle and horses, the shouts of waiters, and the sounds of people bargaining gathered together to form a magnificent scene.
Picture scroll!
And Liu Haojia's sudden appearance here also attracted everyone's attention! This is the source of wealth, the designer of Tianjin Sea Trade, the father of the navy, a rising star, and the emperor's favorite! Especially one thing, now he
He is the landlord of everyone!彡彡訁凊
The people who have shops and do business here are all people with profound backgrounds, so it is not surprising to recognize Liu Haojia. So they feel that they have a shallow relationship, so they bow to Liu Haojia and say hello from a distance! Those who feel that they have a close relationship
Just walk up and say a few words.
Liu Haojia is kind to these people, because these people are his parents who provide him with food and clothing, and they pay a lot of rent and taxes to allow him to live a life of fine clothing and food, so whenever he greets him,
He would wave his hand or nod in response.
When they arrived at the pedestrian street, Liu Haojia dismounted and led everyone in. At this time, more people came to say hello! After Liu Haojia responded briefly, he found a few familiar shops and went inside to talk with the shopkeeper and learn about the current situation.
situation, and the news he got was naturally satisfactory to him!
Now the whole of Tianjin has become the largest distribution center for materials in the north. The warehouses outside the city have been expanded again and again, but the supply is still in short supply! As for shops, it is even more difficult to buy! Zhang Peijia even set aside a space in the north of the city for storage.
livestock.
Because there are often big customers in the north driving large numbers of cattle, sheep, and horses to trade, and the livestock used by merchants are also stored here. Not only does such a ranch make a lot of money every day, it also opens up an opportunity for local people to generate income.
!
The most important thing for children in nearby villages every day is to cut grass, dry it and sell it to pastures to feed livestock. They can get a lot of copper coins every month! The children's work alone can cover the household expenses.
It was half a day old, but the surrounding villagers were so happy!
Liu Haojia walked around the pedestrian street, but he was sweating on his forehead! Only then did he return home with satisfaction. After seeing all the situations, he was completely relieved. Three days later, he led a brigade of royal guards in a motorcade and rushed to the capital.
.
The first thing Liu Haojia did when he returned to the capital was to go to the palace gate to ask for an audience. Anyway, in the eyes of the world, Emperor Wanli was very kind to him, so he must act like a good minister!
Sure enough, he was taken in by Zhang Jia not long after he arrived at the palace gate. He stayed there until evening before leaving the palace. So far, as long as he asks to see Emperor Wanli, there is nothing wrong with him. And he can see him almost anytime he asks.
To Emperor Wanli.
This made those civil servants very unhappy. They felt that Emperor Wanli had done many deviant things in the past few years, and they must have been bewitched by Liu Haojia. Therefore, they all regarded Liu Haojia as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, and they wanted to kill him quickly!
But this person acted extremely safely, and there was no excuse for them! Even the money they started with was clean, and there was no bullying of men and women, which made them unable to bite the hedgehog! But this made them even more
They all felt that Liu Haojia must have great intentions for doing this!
After Liu Haojia came out of the palace, he went straight to Gu Ninghou Mansion. His parents and others were naturally overjoyed to see him! They had already laid out the meal and were waiting for him to come back from the palace. Now that he was back, they immediately opened a banquet to greet Liu Haojia.
, the whole family is enjoying themselves happily!
The Spring Festival will be here in a few days! On this day all the officials will stop working, and some people with certain status will still have the opportunity to participate in the Wanli Emperor's banquet!
In fact, in Liu Haojia's opinion, Emperor Wanli's banquet was really not delicious! All the dishes were always neither salty, bland, sour, hot, nor cold! But the singing and dancing were quite interesting!
And because Liu Haojia has been collecting money for his underpants in recent years, the palace's expenses have been much more relaxed, so the decoration of this banquet is also much more luxurious! Even the reward given by Emperor Wanli after the banquet was much heavier than in previous years, which was quite disappointing.
The officials were very happy!
When the banquet is over and everyone leaves the palace and returns home, this is the real beginning of the Spring Festival! So Liu Haojia can’t wait to ride back to Ninghou Mansion!
At this time, the Hou Mansion is very lively! Not to mention the lanterns and decorations, everyone is preparing for the evening banquet. Because not only the masters will eat the dinner in the evening, but the servants will also take the opportunity to celebrate! And there is not only a banquet on this day
You can enjoy it, and the master will give you generous rewards!
When Liu Haojia arrived home, the kitchen was already occupied by Liu's mother and several daughters-in-law! According to the Liu family's tradition over the years, everything eaten at home tonight was personally handled by the female family members!
Liu Haojia went straight to the kitchen door and looked around. The first person who spotted him was Zhang Pejia! As soon as she said, "Husband is here!" Liu's mother turned around and said, "Why are grown men hanging out in the kitchen? Come and play in the front.
!”
But Liu Haojia walked directly into the kitchen, picked up a meatball and stuffed it into his mouth and said vaguely: "Mom, why are you going to the kitchen yourself again? Can't you just leave it to the servants?"
He threw a fish into the pot to drain the oil, and said at the same time: "This has always been the rule in our family, right? When your mother and I married into the Liu family, my mother-in-law took me to cook New Year's Eve dinner. Every year
That’s it!”
At this time, Tan Cuiying took advantage of her mother-in-law not paying attention and stuffed a fried radish ball she had just fried into Liu Haojia's mouth. She blinked and looked like it must be delicious, please praise me! Liu Haojia immediately gave her a thumbs up and chewed it at the same time.
Wanzi said: "When did that happen? And our family was not poor at that time and couldn't afford to hire talents to cook for ourselves. Now there are so many servants, why don't you save some energy?"
This was Tan Cuiying who was unwilling to be outdone and quickly stuffed a piece of unknown meat into Liu Haojia's mouth. After chewing it, he knew it was rabbit meat and immediately gave Tan Cuiying a thumbs up! His sister-in-law didn't say anything when she saw this scene, but just stood beside her.
chuckle!
At this time, Liu's mother had already fished out the fish to control the oil. She turned around and raised her hand to pat Liu Haojia and said, "Don't worry about the rich or the poor, this is how this family has to live! Come to the front and play by yourself!"
