Husband and wife are hot on the kang

Generally, there are mansions with titles, guards and so on, and they are rarely serving officers and soldiers. In Liangji's Qingfenghou Mansion, His Majesty the Emperor sent a guard of 100 people at the beginning, all of whom were fully armed. It's okay to go up the mountain, saying it's hunting, but what he actually does, only the guards and him know.

It's not that no one has ever spied here, but unfortunately, Shi Hongda personally arranged the defense of the Hou Mansion. be noticed.

There are also people who put people in the waiting mansion, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not a vegetarian, and can only be hooked up with others. For example, last time Chuncui was interrogated in secret and quietly dealt with it. This kind of thing was done by Shi Hongda, so Liangji doesn't have to know.

But as Yu Liangji's little nephew, Xiao Xinghuai, who is in retirement, must know!

It doesn't matter if the force value goes up or not, as long as you have enough brains!

"Uncle Shi, Uncle really said that?" Xiao Xinghuai's eyes were red.

"Of course, he even thought about your character, and he will crown you when you become an adult." Shi Hongda sighed: "You also know that your uncle is simple-minded and kind-hearted. Everything is beautiful, in order not to let him suffer, we two have to stand up and protect him, understand?"

"Xinghuai understands!" Xiao Xinghuai nodded.

He has never seen his mother since he was a child, and his father's face is also blurred in his memory, but his uncle has always taken care of him.

I remember that when I was a child, I was afraid of the dark and didn't dare to sleep. My uncle would light the oil lamp all night and night, and he was not afraid of wasting oil.

If he didn't think it was Uncle Shi, the younger uncle might not find someone to form a bond with, let alone get married, because the younger uncle might have his own child, and the aunt would treat him badly, right?

As Xiao Xinghuai grew up, he noticed many things.

The father and son competed in the school grounds, learning how to save their lives, while Yu Liangji was writing and drawing in the study room. The final product had to be in duplicate, he kept one copy, and the other copy might have to be reported to the court through Shi Hongda, but This is a blueprint now. If we want to stand it up, we have to wait until next spring when the flowers bloom and the ice and snow melt. However, he has noticed that the river ahead is very deep. It is probably frozen above, but the water below is still flowing. Every Chinese New Year, everyone will go to the river ahead to catch fish.

Fortunately, apart from Shibalipu, there are no other villages nearby, and all the resources are exclusive to Shibalipu.

Halfway through the painting, I smelled a fragrance, and at the same time, my stomach growled.

It turns out it's time to eat!

Shi Hongda came over with a food box covered with a cotton cloth cover, the smell came from there.

"Let's eat first, the stewed chicken with mushrooms that we made today." Shi Hongda took out the food. In addition to the stewed chicken with mushrooms, there were two big bowls of rice and a plate of refreshing stir-fried vegetables without a drop of oil.

Other than that, nothing else.

This is the meal for the two of them.

"Well, let's eat first!" Yu Liangji put down his pen, sat down at the dining table, and poured two cups of tea.

The tea is fruit tea. Shi Hongda told Madam Cao not to drink tea for Lord Hou in the afternoon, because he was afraid that he would lose sleep after drinking the tea.

"What are you drawing?" It looks like a big wheel, it seems to be standing up, is it a water wheel?Not like it.

"Fan cart." After washing his hands and face, Yu Liangji sat on the dining table and picked up chopsticks to pick up vegetables: "It is driven by water power and saves effort. It is installed on the riverside of our village. There is a platform behind the dam, just right to install the fan cart." , used to select grains such as millet and sorghum."

"Oh, fan cart, I've seen it before, the kind that is shaken by people, it's quite tiring." Whether it's blowing the millet or using a fan cart to shake and sift, it's very tiring.

If it is powered by water power, that would be great!

"Where's Xinghuai?" Yu Liangji thought of Xiao Xinghuai just after taking two bites.

"Oh, I'm in the study after dinner." The child learned a trick after studying for a long time in the afternoon, and continued the next day. He had to do his winter vacation homework in the evening.

"That's good." Yu Liangji was very pleased that the child knew how to study.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and the nights are long and long. Shi Hongda stopped Yu Liangji from writing and drawing. After a walk, he lay on the kang, and the two cuddled and chatted.

It snowed four times in October, but it was sunny the next day.

It did not cause any damage to the greenhouse. The small tomatoes and milk strawberries in the greenhouse are growing well. The people in Shibalipu are diligently watching their greenhouses. This is their hope this winter.

In the blink of an eye, it's November, and it's getting colder outside, and the single matchmaker has also started to communicate with Butler He through the streets, talking about matchmaking and organizing weddings.

There are six couples getting married in Shibalipu this winter month, three couples are from their own village, and three couples are young men from this village marrying daughters from other villages.

After the flat peaches that Yu Liangji raised had bloomed, they finally withered and formed small flat peaches.

"Isn't this too small?" Shi Hongda leaned over to have a look, it's really small!

Still flat, but small!

"It'll be fine when you grow up." Yu Liangji looked at the little pantao with a magnifying glass, only a little bit, and said cutely.

Butler He came in at this time: "Master Hou, my lord, Shan Matchmaker is here."

"Single matchmaker?" Yu Liangji looked up: "She's not with...cough cough, isn't she busy? I'm ready, and I'll be there in person when anyone gets married. Is there anything else?"

"Master Hou!" Steward He's face was full of resentment, why did he pause just now?As if he had nothing else to do, the only thing left was to be with the matchmaker!

"That, hehe, hehe!" Yu Liangji laughed.

"Please go to the living room to drink tea." Shi Hongda had no choice but to make arrangements, and Steward He left angrily.

Yu Liangji stuck out his tongue behind him.

Shi Hongda plucked his hair dumbfoundingly: "Don't be naughty."

"Hey hey..." Yu Liangji shook his head.

After changing into attractive clothes, the two went to the living room to meet Matchmaker Shan. At this time, Matchmaker Shan was drinking herbal tea and laughing while eating what Cook Huang specially made for her.

This is a single matchmaker!

How old are Mrs. Huang's sons?

I haven't found a suitable one, and I'm trying to ask a matchmaker to find a good girl!

I was talking with her at the moment: "My son likes cooking, just like his father, he is good at cooking, and he is honest. In our family, the four members of the family are very harmonious, and my daughter has a good temper. As for me, let's meet up." Craftsmanship, my daughter has also learned this craft, if I have a daughter-in-law, I can also pass this craft on to her."

"That's good!" Shan Matchmaker listened carefully, and then asked her: "Then is your family a servant of the Hou's Mansion or not? This is the key, the daughters of the family are all good family members."

"The contract will be terminated in two years. At that time, after the contract is terminated, we will buy a house and settle in Shibalipu. After buying the house, we will marry our son and marry our daughter. If that time comes, Lord Hou Still thinking about our craftsmanship, we will come back, to be honest, the Hou Mansion is great!" Cook Huang sighed, "There are all kinds of materials, my head of the house really likes the kitchen of the Hou Mansion!"

When Yu Liangji and Shi Hongda came in together, this was what he heard. It took Yu Liangji a moment to realize that he had known the Huang family for almost ten years!

The contract of that year was for a period of ten years.

"Of course I want your craftsmanship!" Yu Liangji answered the call with one kick in and one out: "You don't have to wait until the expiration date. In the spring of next year, I will build a new house, find the village head, and put the family's household registration in the [-]th century. Lipu, if you are willing, you can work in the Hou's mansion, and the kitchen is still left to you."

In the past ten years, everyone's relationship has been very deep. The members of the Huang family are all infatuated kitchen people. As long as they have good ingredients and let them cook honestly, they will be very satisfied. Give them some rare ingredients from time to time , that's even better!

They handle the bird's nest, sea cucumber, abalone, etc. at home, and Yu Liangji is only responsible for eating.

Just do what you want, never point fingers!

So much so that the members of the Huang family are very satisfied!

"Master Hou, my lord." Cook Huang said with a smile: "If you two say that, our family will not leave!"

"Don't go, don't go." It's not easy to find a good cook, and it's even more difficult to find a good cook who can rest assured.

Shi Hongda didn't want to change an unfamiliar cook to take charge of their family's kitchen. Chef Huang's family is still very good, and they are all used to eating.

"Aunt Shan, what are you doing here?" Yu Liangji looked at Matchmaker Shan.

"Yes, it's still an urgent matter." Shan Matchmaker sighed: "The boss of the Sun family, entrust me to ask you for an idea."

The eldest son of the Sun family is the eldest son of Uncle Sun's family. Uncle Sun just built a new house this year, and then separated the family. The old couple lived with the eldest son. He won Juren, and now he is studying in Fucheng, but recently someone came to their house to propose marriage!

"Propose marriage?" Yu Liangji didn't know, so he said, "What does this have to do with me?"

He is not someone from the Sun family, why did you come to him?

"Master Sun didn't dare to tell Sun Da, let alone Grandpa Sun, because the other party is a girl from Fucheng!" Shan Matchmaker told the matter.

It turned out that Sun Wenbin of Master Sun was studying hard in Fucheng. He was favored by his classmates. The classmate had a younger sister. His family had two restaurants, an inn, and a big house with five entrances and east and west yards in Fucheng. It is countless, it can be said that the other party is a lady from a wealthy family!

I heard that there are two mothers, four aunts, four big maids and six young maids to serve the older ones. The young lady is as beautiful as a flower, gentle and virtuous.

It's just that this family background is too high, everyone Sun didn't even think about her daughter-in-law's background like this, she always wanted a woman from a farming family who could work and manage the house, and live a good life with her son in the future. A grandson is enough.

Suddenly someone came to propose marriage, she was completely stupid!

"Aren't you going to talk to the Sun family when you propose marriage?" Yu Liangji asked.

"It's just a message to let the Sun family prepare mentally. Sun Da didn't know it, but Sun everyone was frightened, so they came to me. She was afraid that the Sun family would not be lucky enough to marry such a delicate daughter-in-law. Wife Shan spread her hands: "Da Sun doesn't know yet, but it's everyone Sun's own idea."

Obviously, Mrs. Sun doesn't want such a daughter-in-law.

"The Sun family doesn't know about it yet. Sun Wenbin is your student. What do you think about it?" In fact, he mainly wanted to know what Master Hou meant about the students' marriage.

Yu Liangji was taken aback. So soon, all the boys in the school could get married!

"This matter mainly depends on Sun Wenbin's own opinion. If he likes it, even if his family objects, it's useless. If he doesn't like it, even if the other party backs him, he won't be able to marry." Yu Liangji thought for a while: " Is it going to be winter vacation in Fucheng?"

"It's about these few days." The weather is getting colder and colder, and the colleges in Fucheng don't have classes all year round, unless they decide to take the imperial examination, they will stay in the winter and summer vacations, and ordinary people have winter and summer vacations.

Especially the winter vacation, it will be from the middle of the winter month to the second of February.

"Wait for him to come back!" Yu Liangji felt that he didn't have the right to decide other people's marriages, but it was obviously Wen Bin's mother who didn't like the young lady in Fucheng.

Who knows what Sun Wenbin is thinking?

"That's fine, but, are you going to hide it from the man of the Sun family? I think Mrs. Sun may have already told you about it." After all, it's a big deal. She came to find Lord Hou, and she might not be able to handle it there!

Because Master Sun is not a great one, on the contrary, Master Sun is a very good standard peasant woman.

"It's better to be frank. After all, it's about the eldest grandson of Sun's family." Yu Liangji immediately made a decision.
