Zhulan felt that something was wrong. Zhou Shuren was Zhizhou, and she was Zhizhou's wife. It is reasonable for someone to inquire about Zhou Shuren's news through her. They have been here for so many days, and she doesn't even know Zhizhou's wife. This is somewhat unreasonable.
Zhou Shuren laughed softly, "Did you forget that I told you that all officials in Lizhou became vegetarian before we came?"
Zhulan really forgot, ever since Zhou Shuren came to Lizhou to open meat, Tongzhi and other prefectures sent people out to buy meat that day. As a result of continuous buying, merchants saw business opportunities, and there were two more butcher shops in Lizhou City .
There are quite a few officials of different ranks in Lizhou City. Although the officials have their salaries and the gifts they receive seem to have money, they receive more gifts and give more gifts. What they spend every time is still their salary and family wealth. Not all official families have the ability to manage their property, and very few have their own farms, and they still need to purchase from outside.
Zhulan laughed, "What do you mean, they are all waiting for me to invite them to a banquet?"
Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yes, the Tongzhi and Tongju are all staring at me. They will imitate whatever I do. I am afraid that I will go too far. In addition, I have basically stabilized the people after I have been here for a month. My reputation among the people is extremely high. Gao, they dare not play tricks with me, let alone invite you."
Zhu Lan stretched out her hand to touch Zhou Shuren's face. This face was skinny and skinny and darkened a lot, and her ordinary appearance was a little lower. In the first five days of the month in Lizhou City, Zhou Shuren was busy distributing food to understand The situation in the entire state, and then the seeds arrived and they were busy distributing grain and planting spring plowing. Although the seeds were not particularly large, they were the hope of the people for a year.
Before the end of spring plowing, he hired extra labor to build roads and ponds. Zhou Shuren did it himself. The office was not in the yamen, and he ran outside every day.
This month was really exhausting, Zhulan's hands touched her body from her face, all she touched were bones, "I've tried to make up your body every day, but it didn't do much, you can toss your bones lightly! "
Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand, looked at the pitch-black roof, and felt overwhelmed. The emperor's stick was smashed down for the inscription on the gold list, and the wedding candle was smashed. Since the inscription on the gold list, he has never felt relaxed. When he arrived in Lizhou On the first day in the city, I saw Tuoer and his daughters receiving food from the common people, how selfish and cold-blooded he was, he felt panicked when he saw it, and stood on one side without moving for a long time, until the people who received the food confirmed that it was true. After the edible food was not adulterated, one person knelt down and all knelt down for him, shouting "Master Qingtian".
His mood at that time was not happy, but more heavy. At this moment, he really realized that he was not here to complete the task, not to live better and keep his head. He also wanted to do something for the people.
The result is that now I don't want to look at my own face anymore.
He also hopes to keep the best side of himself, well, it's going to be postponed again, he really should take a good look at his body.
Zhulan didn't wait for Zhou Shuren to reply, "What are you thinking?"
Zhou Shuren smiled, "I think I'll take you around when I'm free."
He thought it was time to surprise Zhulan, and coughed.
Zhulan felt sorry for Zhou Shuren, "You don't need to show me around, I don't have anything to see. I often go out of town these days, so I've seen everything I need to do."
Zhou Shuren touched Zhulan's hand, he worked hard and Zhulan worked hard, "The family has worked hard for you."
Zhulan, "I don't have to work hard. By the way, all I bought are five-year-old fruit trees. Although the price is expensive, the fruit farmers say that five-year apple trees are a high-yield period. Even if some flowers are damaged due to planting, there will be fruit trees this year." A lot of fruit."
Zhou Shuren laughed, "Then I'll wait to eat the apple."
Apples in winter are a good thing in the north, and he didn't eat a few last winter. Thinking about modern apples, he would not want to eat them, but in ancient times he missed them!
Zhulan said: "When do you think I will invite Tongzhi, Tongju and his wife?"
"It's up to you. When do you have time?"
Zhulan wanted to inquire about the news first, but then she thought that she had just been transferred not long ago, and since there were few shops in Lizhou City, these wives basically didn't go out, so it was difficult to get the news, "I want to choose a date .”
It's okay if she doesn't invite, it's all waiting for her, it's very important for a wife to communicate.
"It's getting late, go to sleep!"
Early the next morning, Zhou Shuren went to the Yamen in a carriage. Boss Zhou took Lichun to the mountains outside the city. The fruit trees were planted, and many people were invited to weed and water them. Boss Zhou was going to keep an eye on them.
Zhulan was thinking of inviting people by what name to enjoy the flowers? Tea?
Hua's family doesn't have it, but there is tea. Zhou Shuren is not willing to drink the tea rewarded by the emperor. Well, this can be leveraged.
Zhulan thought about not inviting the wives alone, but Tongzhi and others should also invite them together. Now it is basically stable, and those who haven't bathed for a long time can take a day off. Wait for Zhou Shuren to come back and mention it to him.
Zhulan is worried again, she needs a tea set to taste tea, let alone a tea set at home, there are very few exquisite bowls and dishes, she bought all the porcelain in the capital and kept it in the capital, fearing that the porcelain would be broken on the way.
And you can't just taste tea without scenery, you still need flowers.
The view of the garden in the house is pretty good, but it's a bit monotonous, um, it's really sad to hold a respectable tea party.
Moreover, there are no merchants who make porcelain in Lizhou City, and they have to buy from Chuanzhou. Zhulan's heart is bleeding, and it costs 5,600 taels of silver, and it costs 3,500 taels of silver to buy land and saplings.
Who asked to buy five-year-old fruit trees, one tael of silver for each, bought 2,000 fruit trees to prevent loss, and paid 3,500 taels for transportation.
Digging an ice cellar is a small amount of money. Two ice cellars cost 150 taels, leaving only 1,800 taels in the family's account. She hasn't bought her shop yet, and she needs to spend another sum of money to buy tea sets and dishes. Wait.
That's right, her Zhuangzi didn't buy it either! The money was spent like flowing water, it was really inexplicable, Zhulan thought of the three houses again, now everyone knows about Pinggang, her house has increased many times, with the income of these three houses, Why did she bother to calculate the money.
Liu Ya knocked on the door and said, "Mistress, the butler is here."
Zhulan, "Come in."
Butler Ding held the letter in his hand, "Mistress, the letter sent by Mrs. Yang is said to be from my hometown."
Zhulan took it over and took a look. There were several letters, each of which was thick enough.
