Mou Haibin also immediately paid for it and asked the Yamen to buy some fruits.
I can't eat anything until the end of my drinking, so I rely on fruits and mixed vegetables to enhance my taste buds.
Seeing Li Hui keep staring at him, Mou Haibin laughed innocently and said:
"I've made you laugh, can you indulge me once today?"
After all, I went out on patrol, so my words and attitude were bolder than others.
Li Hui waved his hand carelessly and said:
"There's nothing wrong with it. I'm going to eat just to let everyone relax. Everyone has worked hard during this period, so you can do whatever you want."
"That shouldn't be too indulgent. Let's stop ordering and go to my house on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year to indulge more." Shen Jue reminded boldly.
After all, it is a government office. Even if no one comes to report to the government at this moment, they are still drunk and are not in compliance with the rules. If he were not a colleague, he would not even mention these things. But it is different now, he has everything to do. To maintain the image of the governor, one must also consider the yamen at all times.
Seeing that Li Hui was not unhappy, he raised his hands and said:
"Sir Li, would you be kind enough to bring your family to your residence on the fourth day of the new year? My wife has always admired your wife's skill in raising children, and she always talks about it in my ears."
Facing Shen Jue's warm invitation, Li Hui nodded without hesitation.
"Master Shen has been promoted, so our family will naturally go to congratulate him. It is scheduled to arrive on the fourth day of the new year."
Shen Jue, who had no expectations at first, heard Li Hui's words and immediately raised his hands in joy.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for the honor. You are coming here with your family. Mr. Mou, please bring your family members as well. Your wife also wants to learn from Mrs. Li. Everyone, come and enjoy the fun together."
"Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I will definitely go." Mou Haibin also agreed.
Needless to say, the others all nodded.
No one expected that Li Hui would suddenly let go. After they came to Beijing Mansion, Mrs. Li was indifferent to anyone's house and did not go to any house. It seemed that Mr. Li was not difficult to get along with, but just Because they were on the wrong side at the beginning, people were too lazy to pay attention to them.
Now that they understand the situation and take a stand promptly, it will be easier for others to speak.
Especially the six-room officials were all happy now, otherwise they would have been imprisoned like Bai Dian, waiting to be executed by the Empress.
To put it bluntly, who in the entire government office can withstand the investigation? Except Mr. Fu Yin who just came!
Three large copper pots were placed in the center of the three tables, with mutton, beef, louvers, tripe slices, etc. placed around them. The only vegetarian dish was two plates of thinly shredded pickled cabbage.
Bai Shao mixed the dipping sauce and put it aside. She and Tian Dong all exited the room.
While waiting for the pot to boil, the yamen bought wine and sold fruits to wait for their return.
It's cold in the north, so there are no fresh fruits at all, only frozen grapes, frozen pears, etc. Slowly drink it with cold water, and eat two when it's almost done, to relieve tiredness and relieve fever.
The people drinking here are all strong drinks, mainly to keep warm. Bowls of wine are poured, and the yamen is suddenly filled with the aroma of wine.
Soon, everyone was changing cups, eating meat and cooking vegetables, and it was a lively meal. Thinking about starting to rest tomorrow, everyone's face was very happy.
After a few glasses of wine, some were blushing, some were grinning, and some were not as reserved as before, chatting more openly.
Li Hui saw that the atmosphere was almost gone, so he put down his chopsticks, looked at everyone and said:
"After finishing this meal today, we will start from scratch after the New Year. We will keep the old sesame seeds and rotten millet today, and next year will be brand new. Everyone must be strict with themselves, fulfill their duties, and touch what should be touched and what should not be touched. Touch. Don’t get caught by me and get hurt. Do you understand?”
Shen Jue's heart was shocked, and then she stiffened her neck and nodded.
"Don't worry, sir. I have asked my wife to make arrangements a long time ago. I will take things out of the city to deliver New Year's goods to the people early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Mr. Li, I have also made arrangements here." Mou Haibin said hurriedly.
"And me, Mr. Li."
"And I……"
"..."
None of them are fools. They can't pretend to be confused when others ask for it.
Since people here have already said that they will write it off, why not use some of your money to avoid disasters?
Li Hui saw that everyone was on the right track, so he picked up his wine glass again and said:
"Now that everyone has one thing in mind, next year will be a turnaround for our state capital. Don't worry, as long as next year goes according to our expectations, you will be indispensable for the salary renewal at the end of the year."
Liangyan's salary continuation is equivalent to modern welfare. Rich state capitals will provide a lot of it, but it is difficult for people like the northern border. At least none of the people here have received it in recent years. Even the salary has been twists and turns. Otherwise, we can't take risks and ourselves Think about it.
The meal lasted for an hour and a half, and it was already late at night when the meal was dismissed.
Li Hui was a little hot after eating, so he took the opportunity to come out for some fresh air.
"Big... Hiccup... Sir, we have agreed that there will be a competition on the 24th, and whoever loses will treat everyone to a drink... Hiccup..."
Liu Yuliang only drank three drinks and had nothing to do in the house, but when he came out to see the wind, he got sick.
The sober yamen officials tried not to stop him, but when they saw that Li Hui was not angry, they relaxed.
"Okay, whoever loses will buy a drink. Don't act like you're not admitting it when the time comes."
"That can't...hiccup...I don't...can't. Let's go now, Mr. Li, hehe...you are such a nice person."
After Liu Yuliang finished speaking, he directly hung on his subordinates and kept muttering in his mouth.
The voice was very low, nothing could be heard clearly, and no one wanted to know.
After watching everyone leave, Li Hui returned to the government office to see Bai Shao. Bai Zhi and the others were cleaning up, so they went behind the screen.
Picking up the New Year's plan that I had written, I strode back to the back house.
In the main room, Cheng Xue had finished washing and was lying on the kang reading the account books.
Although the business in the capital has been open for more than half a year, it has made a lot of money. After all, it is under the emperor's feet, and the profits for most of the year have caught up with those here for three to five years.
After taking a bath in the ear room, Li Hui entered the house. After taking off his shoes and getting on the kang, his head kept pushing into her arms. It was as sticky as a coquettish golden retriever.
"Hey, are you ready to drink?"
Cheng Xue put down the account book as she spoke, and put her hands on the back of his neck, squeezing it gently.
He is very busy these days, with few opportunities to exercise and he is always at his desk writing, so his wealth bag is a bit prominent. After being proficient in Chinese medicine, he naturally knows that this thing is not necessary, so he presses it every day whenever he has free time, just waiting for this seal.
Rest and he can have time to exercise.
Li Hui waited for a while before raising his head and showing her the new year's plan he had brought back.
"Just take a look, okay?"
It's just them as a couple, so there's no need to worry.
After Cheng Xue picked it up and read it, she pointed to the column about martial arts masters in the school and said:
"Can we add more doctors?"
"You want to go?" Seeing her shaking her head, Li Hui said again, "You can go if you want. We will recruit some five or six-year-old children and you will teach them."
