Chapter 969: The county master is kind to ask, the prefect gives gifts
Chapter 969: The princess is inquisitive and the prefect gives gifts
The sun was rising! Shen Tang woke up refreshed! He opened his eyes and looked at his wife beside him, and couldn't help but feel his heart surge!
"Husband..." Xiangling murmured, feeling the heat in her husband's eyes. She felt satisfied and happy! Women want to please their appearance, and they can attract their husbands to fall in love. Although it sounds shy, isn't this a good thing?
"My husband looks so shy when he looks at me like this."
Feeling that her husband's body was getting hot, Xiangling quickly refused and started talking about random topics, hoping to divert her husband's attention.
Shen Tang suppressed the anger in his heart and kissed her sweet lips fiercely. He didn't give up until his breath was blurred!
"Then husband, please let you go first! However, this debt must be remembered! Sooner or later, it will be paid back!"
Shen Tang teased!
Afterwards, Shen Tang got up, and Zhu'er also went into the room to help Xiang Ling wash and dress! After Xiang Ling had packed up, everyone else gathered over! The whole room was filled with whispers, and Shen Tang felt as if he had fallen into a daughter's kingdom. .
"Sisters! Why does your skin look so much better than yesterday?"
Zhao Ling looked at the sisters curiously. These girls were already extremely beauties, but now their cheeks were rosy and their eyes were watery, making them even more dazzling and attractive than yesterday!
"Is there any new powder or rouge?"
As he said that, Wanyan Yue, who was still closest to the side, slightly twisted her face! "This is not Rouge..."
Zhao Ling's suspicious look immediately aroused laughter. Qingqiu looked at his young lady speechlessly from the side. Although she didn't understand much, she had also heard the old nuns in the house talk about the affairs of men and women in private. How could this not be the case? Do you know what's going on?
"Xiao Ling'er, this is not a gouache thing!"
Wanyan Yue snickered and said, "If you also want to do this, then serve me well, maybe..."
Seeing that her sister was talking more and more outrageously, Liu Xiangling hurriedly changed the subject, otherwise, she would not know what kind of restricted words this bold sister could say.
"Okay, let's get something to eat quickly. Today is New Year's Eve, and we have a lot of work to do!"
After dispelling Zhao Ling's curiosity, a crowd gathered around Shen Tang and ate some briefly. Then they took out the peach charms, statues, red lanterns, etc. that had been prepared and began to hang them up! The crowd did not let the servants and maids help. Instead, a group of people did it themselves. Although it seemed busy, it was also full of fun!
"Come on, let's go prepare the slots!"
After posting, Liu Xiangling took everyone to the kitchen and personally prepared the food for dinner.
Jiaozi is the dumpling of later generations, and it has gradually become popular in the Song Dynasty! Even at the emperor's royal banquet, this jiaozi is also a very popular food...
In a small alley in the west of the city, the home of Governor Li Tairan is also fully equipped with hangings! Fragrant meat has been stewed in the pot, and the yard has already been cleaned up!
Li Tairan sat in the yard, basking in the warm winter sun, looking at his smiling mother, his busy wife, and his children drooling at the smell of meat. He felt comfortable and a little unbelievable!
This is the day I long for most! Although it is not very rich, I can still live at home! Since the magistrate came, my life seems to have suddenly changed for the better! The whole yamen, whether it is the custom or style, has been the same Things have changed! My colleagues are still the same colleagues, but they are different from before!
It's like everyone suddenly changed their minds. Not only are they diligent in their official duties, but their attitudes towards colleagues and people are also very different! What's the reason for this?
Obviously, the prefect has not been sitting in the government office for more than two months...
"Stop sitting and put the meat out of the pot quickly! I can stew the fish quickly! My mother and I will have to make money later. Look, what else can you two do besides making trouble?"
Faced with his wife's gossip, Li Tairan grinned. His life was indeed enjoyable!
"By the way, as the prefect, you really don't have to go to the Lord's house to walk around?
I have saved more than a dozen taels of silver at home, as well as fish and meat, so don’t let anyone pick on you as a gift! I heard from Uncle Wang before that this year, I have to give Shangguan one or two taels of money."
"What do you, a woman, know?"
Li Tairan shook his head, "Do you think our prefect is the same as everyone else?
Besides, your Excellency personally said yesterday that no one is allowed to visit.
If I really go now, I will make you unhappy!"
"Huh, you have the idea anyway! I am a woman who doesn't know anything. I only know that after the prefect came, our family's life and the people's life became better! Those eyes in the sky
The government officials are now also polite to the people.
To put it bluntly, this is all thanks to the blessing of the prefect!"
"Can Mr. Li be at home?"
Li Tairan walked towards Chaimen curiously, only to see a boy carrying a load waiting at the door!
"Your Excellency is..."
"I have met Mr. Li. The younger one is a clerk in the magistrate's house! The magistrate said that you all have worked hard during this period, so I sent you some new year's goods for the festival!"
As he spoke, he took things out of the burden!
"This is food for the children in your home! This is fabric for your wife! This one is a piece of silver jewelry for the old lady at your home..."
"My lord, I told you, don't forget to ask your mother and children to attend the banquet on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year!"
"The little one is leaving first. There are still several houses that we haven't visited yet. I won't delay the adults..."
Li Tairan was still standing at the door, stunned, but the boy had already put down his things and walked away quickly with his load!
"Where are the people?
Why did you leave without letting anyone in?
Who is coming?
And you brought so many things along with you?"
Li Tairan's wife saw him standing outside the door and walked out curiously!
"It's the New Year's gift sent by the prefect!"
“Ah…” the lady exclaimed, “Have you lost your mind?
Will the prefect give you new year gifts?"
Awakened by his wife's voice, Li Tairan hurriedly looked for the boy, but where could he see the figure at this moment?
"Madam, this is really what the prefect sent here! It's food for the baby, these flower cloths are for you, and that silver ring is for our mother..." Li Tairan said in a daze.
