That’s right, in Aunt Chen’s heart, she always believed that a plump and round figure was a sign of good fortune. The mistake she realized before was that she shouldn’t talk about physiognomy in front of other people.
Although he said that he shouldn't say that, he still firmly believed in the "lucky face theory" in his heart. Yang Yuanzu was amused and helpless when he saw Aunt Chen asking the servants to eat more to improve their appearance.
The servants of the Yang family have been very distressed recently. They thought the food was good enough before, but now there are many more meat dishes on the table and they can't finish them.
But seeing these unfinished meals being thrown away made my heart bleed. Before I came to work for the Yang family, I never had enough to eat. After working for the Yang family, I could eat until I was full.
After everyone gained six or seven pounds, the servants finally found Lin Ting'an and asked her husband to reduce the amount of food on their table.
After understanding the whole story, Lin Ting'an found Aunt Chen to talk to her. Aunt Chen now regarded Lin Ting'an as the person in charge of the family. She listened to everything he said and no longer interfered with the meals of the servants. She only concentrated on raising the chickens, ducks, geese and pigs she brought from her hometown.
When she was in her hometown, she had a mountain behind the house for her to graze. Although there is no mountain behind the house now, fortunately her family has enough land, so Yang Yuanzu built a small pen in the corner of the yard far away from the house for her to raise the livestock.
There is a pond in the yard, which is now used by Aunt Chen to raise fish. She raises crucian carp, grass carp, carp and other fish for eating.
Lin Ting'an also planted some water lilies in the pond. Yang Yuanzu felt that such a beautiful pond should not be without goldfish, so he bought a few goldfish from his colleagues and put them in the pond.
Goldfish are beautiful in appearance, rare in the market and expensive.
There was a shortage of goldfish in the market but there was enough for the ministers in the imperial court. Most of them liked to show off their taste by raising some pretty goldfish, so Yang Yuanzu simply bought some from them. Of course, he also gave them gifts in return, which were handmade flower soaps from his home.
Handmade fresh flower soap is a hot commodity in Changjing City. Lin Ting'an has not opened a branch in Changjing City. The small amount of fresh flower soap sold here was also transported back by Boss Hao and his group from Shunxing County in the south.
This flower soap is originally sold in limited quantities in the south, and even less in the north. It is harder to find than goldfish. Yang Yuanzu took the flower handmade soap to exchange for goldfish with them and they were naturally happy to do so.
Yang Yuanzu did not tell others that this flower handmade soap was his own business. No one knew who the owner of this flower handmade soap was, not even his last name. People living further south knew that the owner's last name was Lin, but no one knew his specific name.
Probably the only people who know who the owner of the fresh flower handmade soap is are the locals of Shunxing County and a few suppliers. The suppliers in Changjing City are mainly Boss Hao. Boss Hao has never said anything about the owner of the fresh flower handmade soap, so naturally no one else would say anything about it.
While Yang Yuanzu was recuperating at home, he guessed the changes in the court from the few words brought back by the servants. The emperor fell ill on the day of his birthday banquet, and now no one knows whether he is dead or alive.
Others took out the imperial edict written by the emperor himself and declared themselves to be the legitimate heir.
Everyone had a decree of succession, so they began to criticize others for holding forged ones. Everyone criticized each other and refused to give in.
In this situation, no one can retreat. Retreating means not only losing everything, but also death.
If you meet a good opponent, he will spare your face and kill you with one blow. If you meet a vicious opponent, he will humiliate you first and then torture you.
The princes and nobles can use the trick of issuing an imperial edict of succession, but the ministers cannot. When the imperial edict doesn't work, they fish in troubled waters behind the scenes and stir up fights. The more fierce the fight between the princes, the better it is for them.
As an ordinary person, all Yang Yuanzu had to do was to wait. No matter who won or lost, it didn't mean much to him as a small official. However, he still hoped in his heart that the Eighth Prince's faction would not be the final winner, because he and the Eighth Prince's minions had a connection in Liucheng because of the theft of Tiger Boy.
"Daddy, can we catch some fish?" Hu Wa held the small fishing rod specially made for him by Yang Yuanzu in both hands and sat on a small stool by the pond.
Yang Yuanzu was sprinkling fish food he had mixed himself into the water. The fish food was made by mixing sorghum wine, sesame oil, rice and flour in appropriate proportions. Of course, he had searched for the mixing methods on the Internet.
In the past, when he lived in modern society, he worked all day except for work and overtime, and had no time to enjoy life. After the fish nest was built, Yang Yuanzu took out the earthworms. When Hu Wa saw the earthworms, he shouted excitedly: "Little bugs! Maomao!"
Maomao is the caterpillar doll that sleeps with Tiger Boy on his bed.
"This is not a hair, this is an earthworm. It can survive even if it is broken in two."
Yang Yuanzu put the earthworm on the fishhook, swung the rod and threw it into the pond. There are so many fish in this pond, he should be able to catch a few today, right?
"Become two? How can one become one? Can Tiger Boy have two little daddies, two fathers?"
"No, if a person is cut in two, he will disappear, he won't become two."
Xiao Fan, who was carrying oranges, heard the cruel topic between the father and son and couldn't help but interrupt and whispered, "Son-in-law, isn't it too cruel to discuss the topic of breaking people into two with Hu Wa now?"
"It's okay, just treat it as normal science."
"Then I don't want two fathers and two daddies." Hu Wa said to Yang Yuanzu and then said to Xiao Fan: "Brother Xiao Fan, I want to eat cakes."
"Okay, Brother Xiaofan will get it for you. The kitchen just made new osmanthus cake today." After Xiaofan said that, he walked towards the kitchen.
Yang Yuanzu thought of the two eunuchs whose lives were uncertain in the well, and shouted to Xiaofan, who had not yet walked away, "Save more osmanthus flowers this year and dry them in the sun!"
"Don't worry, son-in-law. We will leave osmanthus flowers in the mansion every year!" Xiao Fan turned around and shouted loudly not far away.
Yang Yuanzu was lying on the rocking chair. He looked sideways at Hu Wa who had just eaten two oranges and said, "Oranges can cause internal heat, so eat less."
"Okay, father." Although he agreed this verbally, his hands were not slow at all in peeling the orange. He was exactly the same as Lin Ting'an. He expressed obedience verbally, but still insisted on his own way in his actions.
Yang Yuanzu kept looking at the floating head on the water. He made this floating head out of dry wood, and asked Lin Ting'an to dye it white to make it more conspicuous.
When it comes to color dyes, Lin Ting'an is an expert. He can always extract the color he wants from various plants or minerals. Of course, there are also pigments on the market.
