Liu Ying gently looked at Yun Qingshi, who was sitting on the chair a little uneasy: "Your surname is Yun?"
Yun Qingshi nodded lightly: "As for my aunt, my daughter-in-law's surname is Yun."
Liu Ying didn't say anything, and gently moved the tea lid with her soft fingers. She didn't know what she was thinking. Suddenly Liu Ying put down the tea cup in her hand, stretched out and smiled with her eyes narrowed: "Xiao Mingming, sister is tired today.
I’ll see you again in a few days. My sister likes your gift very much and loves you.”
"Auntie, we are preparing meals at home. Why don't we get something before we leave? My nephew, I can't let you go back with an empty stomach."
Liu Ying chuckled, rubbed her belly and shook her head: "Forget it, sister needs to maintain her figure. It will look ugly if she eats fat. Let's talk about it later when we have a chance."
"Forget it, my nephew follows my aunt's instructions. I must say hello first when my aunt comes again, so that my nephew can prepare in advance."
Liu Ying stood up and said, "Let's go. Your cousins are all impatient. They must have been impatient for a long time."
Yun Qingshi stood up and saluted: "My daughter-in-law sends my aunt off."
Looking at the two figures of Liu Ying disappearing into the corridor, Yun Qingshi scratched his forehead in confusion. Was he a sister or an aunt? Could it be that I called her by the wrong name?
"Miss, how are you? Is your lordship's aunt satisfied with your performance?" Chun'er stared at her young lady expectantly.
Yun Qingshi bit her lower lip and shook her head blankly: "I don't know either."
"ah?"
"Mother, cousin."
The Yun family brother and sister who were resting in the pavilion immediately stood up and saluted when they saw the two.
"I've been waiting for a long time, and I forgot to prepare some snacks for you."
"Cousin, Miss Ying'er has prepared it for us. The day lily will be cold when you think about it." Before Yun Xiaoxi could finish her words, she stared blankly at the dressing mirror that was moved by the servants in the corridor, and walked over absentmindedly.
He couldn't help but raise his hands.
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the tea and candied pastries placed on the stone table. Ying'er knew how to be considerate, otherwise his cousin would be really rude.
Before Yun Xiaoxi touched the full-length mirror, she was photographed with a snap. Liu Ying pinched her waist and stared at Yun Xiaoxi angrily: "Xiaoxixi, what do you want to do? This is a gift from Xiao Mingming
Sister’s dressing mirror, don’t break it. You can’t afford to pay for it. With a dressing mirror, you no longer have to worry about wearing the wrong clothes when the maid is away.”
Yun Xiaoxi looked at her mother pitifully: "Mother"
"Call me sister."
Yun Xiaoxi struggled for a long time, but she really couldn't call her sister. Her mother could be shameless and let her call her sister, but she was not that shameless. She sniffed twice and turned her head to the side with reluctance.
A hint of cunning flashed in Liu Ying's eyes as she raised the five mirrors wrapped in her hands: "Xiao Xixi, look at what's in sister's hand?"
Yun Xiaoxi looked at the mirror in Liu Ying's hand with envy, and looked at Young Master Liu with a resentful look: "Cousin, Xiaoxi also wants a full-length mirror, and you still charged me five hundred taels of silver."
Liu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment and then remembered that he had indeed collected 500 taels of silver from Yun Xiaoxi before when he didn't know her identity: "Xiaowu, take two people to Ying'er's room to bring her dressing mirror to Xiaoxi.
Walk."
"yes."
"Xiao Mingming, you are partial, and my sister won't follow you."
"Auntie, pull your ears again and pluck them off."
Liu Ying leaned into Liu Mingzhi's ear and whispered: "Little thing, pigeon meat is very nourishing. If you have nothing to do, I will ask my servant to stew two for you. Do you understand?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Ying in confusion, wondering what she meant by what she said. Why did the topic of mirrors suddenly turn to pigeons while they were talking about mirrors.
Seeing Xiao Wu and two servants moving the full-length mirror in Ying'er's room, Liu Ying waved her sleeves and said, "Little one, come and sit at my sister's house when you have time. My sister will stay in the capital for a long time.
"
"Yes, my nephew knows."
"Dahai, let's leave first. Your cousin has business matters to deal with. We'll chat later when we have time."
"My nephew gives it to you."
"Don't let go. This unfilial girl Xiao Xixi has snatched your little lady's dressing mirror. If you don't comfort her, you won't be able to get into bed at night."
Looking at the retreating figures of Liu Ying's family, Liu Mingzhi looked puzzled as to what his aunt meant by speaking in a fog.
Liu Mingzhi, who was looking around blankly for some inspiration, narrowed his eyes and looked at a few pigeons preening their feathers on the roof of the side courtyard.
When did my family start breeding pigeons? Could it be that the passing pigeons stopped here to rest? No, pigeons are very home-loving and rarely stop at other people's homes to rest.
Liu Mingzhi touched the stubble on his chin and narrowed his eyes: "Could it be a homing pigeon? Pigeon meat, pigeon meat! Liu Si!"
Liu Si appeared out of nowhere and suddenly appeared in the pavilion: "Master, what are your orders?"
"Forget about the roof. It's okay. You can step back first."
Liu Si didn't ask any more questions and disappeared into the pavilion again. Liu Mingzhi looked at the pigeons on the roof and licked his dry lips: "I'm too thin and I can't seem to eat anything. If I keep it for two days, maybe
There will be more meat.”
"Sir, the officials are here." Xiao Wu stopped the carriage and shouted.
"Well, so fast?" Liu Mingzhi got out of the carriage and looked at the majestic buildings in front of him. Although he had never been to the Imperial City, the six departments relied on the Imperial City for their construction, so naturally they could not lose the Imperial City's reputation.
Among the six departments, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Household Affairs are more powerful than the other three. Although the official positions of the six departments are the same and there is no distinction between high and low, a discerning person can tell at a glance which step among the six departments is the most important.
The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the promotion, appointment and dismissal of officials, and the storage of records. From the princes and ministers to the common people, the Ministry of Personnel has records. Especially the civil and military officials are in awe of the Ministry of Personnel. Although there are imperial envoys and officials to supervise the officials,
The imperial censor only has the responsibility of reporting on rumors and reports, but the situation in the civil service department is different. The position of the imperial examination officer may be considered big or small, but for officials, it is like a knife hanging over their heads.
The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the world's finances. Gold, silver, food and clothing are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue. As long as there is no imperial edict from the emperor, if the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue says he has no money, the officials may not even receive their salaries. Although all civil and military officials have their own
In terms of industry, it doesn’t mean that a little salary can play a big role, but the Ministry of Revenue’s say is the most important in major matters. Everything needs money. Without money, you can’t use your great skills.
The Minister of the Ministry of War is in charge of the army and horses of the world. Although he does not have the right to mobilize without authorization, as long as there is no war and another commander is appointed, the soldiers and horses of the world must obey the arrangements of the Ministry of War. Civil servants aside, the one military generals dare not offend is the Ministry of War. Who else can
If we don't run into some trouble, if the Ministry of War stumbles and reinforcements are delayed, then we will end up with our body and head missing.
As for the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Punishments, their powers are somewhat less prominent in comparison. The Ministry of Punishments is controlled by Dali Temple, the Ministry of Works is controlled by generals and supervisors, and the Ministry of Rites is controlled by Honglu Temple.
The Ministry of Punishment can hear cases, the Dali Temple can review cases jointly by the three departments, the Ministry of Works is in charge of instruments and tools, the generals can also make tools and tools, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of various interests, and external affairs have to be handled by Honglu Temple.
In comparison, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of War are the top departments among the six.
Liu Mingzhi held the imperial edict in his hands and walked towards the official office. Go to Baidu to read the latest chapters of "Jie Zhong Literature" for free as soon as possible.
