Cheng Xue felt her satisfaction, patted the back of her hand and said:
"Seeing that you two are on the same page, I feel relieved. In the future, you two will manage the mansion together, with him as the housekeeper and you as the housekeeper. You can work together as a male and a female so that the work will not be tiring."
Bai Wei was so sweet that she felt embarrassed when she heard the last sentence, but she still nodded hard.
"Madam, don't worry. I and Tiandong will do their best and will never let you and the master down."
"You go down and have a rest. Just have white peony root here."
"yes."
Bai Wei understood that she had something to explain, so she handed the wooden comb in her hand to Bai Shao, bowed and went out.
After the door was closed, Cheng Xue looked at the bronze mirror and said:
"Tomorrow, let Shunxi drive and buy some quilts for the big car shop. If there are not enough in the city, go to Linzhen or Linxian to buy them. Be sure to buy them all."
As she spoke, she opened the small drawer on the left side of her menstrual cramps and took out a hundred-tael silver note and the recruitment notice she wrote today.
"There are three in total. They will be posted on the door of the car shop tomorrow. I will buy them as soon as they are posted."
"Then let Bai Zhi and Ging Guo clean the house. I will tell them later."
"Forget it about Ging Guo, she still has to teach Pang Meng and the others to cook. Bai Zhi can do it. Then I will be with the eldest lady and the others, as well as Bai Wei and Bai Shu. You should hurry up and buy the quilt back."
Quilt covers, mattress sheets, etc., had been prepared long ago when they lived in the house behind the government office. They had to find something to do, otherwise they would feel idle and unbearable...
…
After Li Hui and others left Mopan Mountain, they traveled day and night. They were eager to return home, and finally arrived at Fucheng in the north on this day.
Before the city gate was opened, it was Dexi who showed Li Hui's waist badge to the defenders and was then let through.
The carriage went straight to the back house of the government office. Huzi heard the sound and had been waiting at the door for a long time.
They came back too early, plus Dexi climbed over the wall and opened the door from the inside, and the tiger didn't bark, so Tiandong and others had no idea.
Cheng Xue has been busy with the car shop recently and leaves early and comes home late every day, so this is the time when she is sleeping soundly.
The door was unlocked, so Li Hui came in and lit the fire before entering the back room.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he didn't bother her. He just waited for the water to heat up and simply washed up before taking off his shoes and getting on the kang.
Cheng Xue vaguely felt someone beside her, and instinctively frowned and opened her eyes, then moved over to find a comfortable position for herself and said:
"What's going on? The city gate is open?"
The light in the room is still a little dark, so logically you shouldn't open the city gate at this time.
Li Hui hugged his beloved wife contentedly, breathed a sigh of relief, and replied:
"Why is it possible to open so early? I used my badge. Go to sleep and we'll talk when you wake up."
After saying that, he pulled the quilt up and patted her back as if coaxing a child.
Cheng Xue really didn't wake up and fell asleep again with a "hmm" sound.
I didn't sleep for long, only a stick of incense at most.
Turning over to change his position, he suddenly realized that Li Hui was back. When he opened his eyes and saw the man looking at him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"You haven't slept? Haven't slept all this time? Aren't you sleepy?"
Li Hui shook his head, played with her arm with his big hand and said:
"I found a lot of problems when I went out this time. I was just thinking about something."
"What's the matter?"
Li Hui did not speak immediately, but thought for a long time before speaking——
"The population in the north has been losing, but the demand for official salt has neither decreased nor increased. Why do you think this is?"
Why? Something fishy!
"Are you planning to use Fan Tongzhi?"
Chatting with allies who share the same screen can save time and effort.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but there must be something wrong with him."
In Liangyan, salt is very popular, and every colleague in the prefecture is holding it tightly, just like Fan Chengfang. He found it troublesome and gave many things to Shen Jue, but the official salt has always been in his possession. No one can take it away from you, no one can grab it.
