Yin You had dinner at Zhou's house before returning home. Liu Huan, who had agreed to come over for dinner, was nowhere to be seen. No one took it seriously. The next day, Liu Huan appeared at the door of Zhou's house with a melancholy look on his face.
.
He followed Yin You into the door and kept mumbling: "If I don't come, you won't ask anyone to see me. I was thinking that you could send someone to see me so that I could find an excuse to go out."
Bai Shan and the others were looking at the accounts of Xiaozhuangzi in Qili Village and Pucun Village. When they heard this, they asked without raising their heads: "You were fine when you left the palace. Why didn't your family let you go out?"
"My grandfather said that an angel came to your house to announce the decree. He is busy at the moment and doesn't want me to cause trouble." When Liu Huan said this, he came to Bai Erlang curiously, "In this case, you really want to be the prince consort."
?”
Bai Erlang nodded slightly reservedly, but his face could not suppress his happiness, "Yes."
Liu Huan didn't understand what he should be happy about. When he saw his success, he said: "When Wei Yu was selected as the consort, you sympathized with him and I sympathized with him. Why are you so happy when you want to be the consort?"
Bai Erlang said: "Can it be the same?"
Liu Huan: "Why is it different?"
"How can it be the same? The princesses are all different." Bai Erlang said: "Princess Mingda is well-educated, smart and alert."
Liu Huan let out a long "Oh——" and whispered: "So you are saying that Princess Changyu is unruly and willful, and also clumsy?"
Man Bao and Bai Shan on the side:...
The two coughed lightly and raised their heads to look at them warningly. Man Bao even said: "Princess Changyu and Princess Mingda are both my friends."
Liu Huan immediately stopped daring to arrange people.
Yin You on the side smiled, put down the book in his hand and asked, "Is there anyone I need help with?"
Bai Shan unceremoniously handed him an account book and said, "Help me calculate the balance."
Yin You then saw the record on it, "On the fifth day of March, thirty-eight eggs and twelve duck eggs were collected... What is this?"
"Some of the output of Zhuangzi in Qili Village," Bai Shan said, "check the accounts to see if they are correct, and finally check the money. By the way, we have a lot of eggs. We usually sell three eggs for two cents.
."
Liu Huan, who had nothing to do, was surprised, "Eggs are so cheap?"
Man Bao glanced at him and asked, "How expensive do you think it is?"
Bai Shanze said: "It's not cheap. How many eggs do you need for a family meal?"
Man Bao said: "If my family had too many eggs, it would cost more than twenty eggs per person, not to mention that one person would definitely eat more than one at a time."
Yin Huo calculated for them, while Bai Shan looked at the account book in his hand and was silent for a while, then said to Man Bao: "I think the summer harvest in Pucun this year is pretty good. We don't need to worry too much about the seeds, but we still need to add some farm tools.
Do you add it or not?"
What he means is, don't you want to resign?
Do you still need to work hard?
Man Bao hesitated for a while and then nodded and said: "Add more, add less."
She sighed and said, "It's better to be a monk and hit the clock every day." After all, the matter of resignation has not yet been discussed, so you can't delay hundreds of families in Pucun because of yourself.
Bai Shan made a record and nodded: "The autumn harvest is about to begin. When the autumn harvest is over, we can count this year's harvest."
At that time, it will be clear at a glance whether it is a loss or a profit.
Bai Erlang, who was on the side, also calculated the expenses. After writing down the account book, he put down his pen and said, "I'm really tired. It's not easy to make such a small amount of money."
Man Bao said: "Shut up, it's just a matter of settlement, I haven't asked you to go to the ground to plant."
Bai Shanze turned to ask Man Bao, "How is the rice in the experimental field?"
If it can be effective, maybe the cost they invested will come back faster.
Man Bao: "...I was just about to tell you. My eldest brother said that the front was still growing fine, but for some reason the back gradually became uneven. Some ears were quite long, and some were branched.
Yes, now it’s time to harvest, some of the shells are still empty.”
Bai Shan: "The grouting was not filled properly?"
Man Bao nodded, "In short, there are many problems. My elder brother also said that the rice in the experimental field is also more attractive to insects. There are obviously crops next to it, but the insects like to eat the rice in that field. My elder brother is worried about that experimental field.
I almost have as many hearts as the entire Zhuangzi."
Although the situation in the experimental field was not optimistic, Manbao still told Zhou Dalang to take good care of it. Later, she would also select seeds to continue planting, and also give Dr. D a copy so that she could have a reference for the experiment.
At the same time, Dr. D will also give her a new experimental seed.
Man Bao kept this in mind, and after Bai Shan and the others had settled the accounts, she put them away after confirming that there was no problem.
Liu Huan was very surprised, "You are still in charge of Zhuangzi's accounts? Are you busy enough?"
He said: "Shouldn't this kind of thing be managed?"
Man Bao said: "My second niece is not at home, so I take care of it myself. It's just checking. My nephews have done all the accounting and other things."
After talking about this, she paused and asked Liu Huan, "Your family's accounts are all handed over directly to the manager and are not checked?"
Liu Huan thought about it and stopped talking. Seeing that the four of them were very calm, he couldn't help but turn his head again, "No, Bai Er, you just arranged to get married yesterday, are you so calm today?"
Bai Erlang raised his head and asked: "Otherwise, I want to be excited, but they don't go out with me. Can I be excited by myself?"
Liu Huan rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll accompany you!"
Bai Erlang looked at the big sun outside and said, "Forget it, it looks so hot. Let's stay at home. There are still a lot of sauerkraut that Sister Zhou made yesterday. We can continue to eat sauerkraut noodles."
Man Bao said: "It's the dog days of summer, don't go out if you have nothing to do."
So the four of them really didn't go out, and Liu Huan had no choice but to stay in Zhou's house and spend the day with them.
When he left in the evening, he was still a little surprised. He just spent the whole day like this? But after getting on the carriage, he thought about it carefully. Although he didn't do much or go out to play today, he still had a good time. The most important thing was to relax.
.
He opened the curtain to see Yin Huo and got into the carriage before leaving. He immediately leaned on the carriage window and talked to him, "Shall we enter the palace together tomorrow?"
Yin or refused. Now every time he enters the palace, his father takes him through the back door. Otherwise, it would be too hurried to walk from the palace gate to Chongwen Pavilion in the morning, and he needs to walk very fast, which would be too much for his body.
Liu Huan watched his carriage go away in confusion, and then he quickly asked the coachman to catch up, and the two of them left one after the other.
Liu Huan was not the only one who wanted to take the opportunity to make fun of Bai Erlang. When they entered the palace the next day, they met many people at the palace gate. Everyone teased Bai Erlang and called him "consort".
It was rare for Bai Erlang to be called out and he was a little embarrassed, and his face turned red, neither Ying nor Ying.
