Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 543; When to leave?
Chapter 540; when to leave?

Li Yu rode back to the General's Mansion happily. The two aunts had already eaten and went home. Rong Niang and his aunt had already lived here in Chang'an for several days. Today, Mr. Rong came to Chang'an Rong Mother didn't go out on the street, she packed herself in the mansion and waited for Mr. Lang to come back from the palace, now she greeted her and went up to make a ceremony;

"The slave family pays homage to the lord, and the lord is blessed and safe."

Li Yu who had just entered the main hall responded smoothly;

"Excuse me, Mrs. Liu, serve the food quickly, serve the food, but I'm starving to death."

"Thank you sir."

"It's Mr. Lang, come and tell the kitchen to serve the food immediately."

"only!"

Li Yu sat down with a golden knife, Rong Niang and Liu Niangzi stood on the left and right to serve, Rong Niang greeted with a smile;
"I don't know if Lang Jun's trip to the palace will go smoothly?"

"Successful, I think there shouldn't be any problems. It's just that the only fly in the ointment is that I didn't make me a prince. It's a pity, but it doesn't matter. As long as I can clarify the field for raising livestock, I will achieve my goal."

This place is different from other places where Li Yu would definitely laugh his teeth out if he said that the entire county magistrate hadn't come back. People in Li Yu's territory all had regretful expressions on their faces.

Li Yu saw the disappointed expressions of Rong Niang and Liu Niangzi, then looked at the servants in the main hall, and immediately comforted everyone;

"Don't be discouraged, the county magistrate will be a matter sooner or later, and he will definitely come when he gets some more credit. Well, the meal is here, so I won't talk to you."

During the time of talking, seven or eight servants from the kitchen broke the food and came in, and began to arrange it neatly. Mrs. Liu and Rong Niang immediately waited on Li Yu's food and vegetables.

After the incident of poisoning in the prison of the county yamen, the meals in the kitchen of Li's second bedroom are now very rigorous, and no one even serves the dishes through anyone's hands. Opportunities for human contact!

Li Yu was also hungry, he ate and drank a lot and sat in the grand teacher's chair to rest while rubbing his belly. Before he had sat for a long time, a servant came to report;
"I want to report to my lord, the lords of Du Fang's two servants from the She Family are here, and there are also several lords from the families of civil and military officials."

"Oh? Hurry up, please."

"only!"

As soon as Li Yu stood up and went out to greet him, he saw a group of good brothers rushing in.

Du Ruhui's eldest son, Du Gou, came in first;
"My dear brother, you are back. I have sixteen carts of silk cloth and iron pots ready, and I can load them and set off anytime and anywhere."

Fang Yiai sat in a grand teacher's chair with a bluffing voice and took up the conversation;
"Yes, yes, my family is ready, Dalang, when are we going to leave?"

Li Yu quickly made a salute to all the brothers;
"Brothers are here, my younger brother has never met the atonement..."

Yuchi Baolin grabbed Li Yu and pressed on the seat;

"Oh my dear brother, don't be so polite, hurry up and talk about the situation, when are we going to leave? I, Aye, have already prepared it. This spring, everyone in the family, from Aye to the clan No new clothes have been added, and all the fabrics in the warehouse are accumulated, so hurry up and talk about the date!"

Li Yu was about to speak when Cheng Chuliang's voice came from the door;
"Baolin, what are you in a hurry for? I heard from my Aye that Niu and Agui have almost learned, and they will be out of the camp in two days. I guess it should be this month, right brother?"

Li Yu turned his head to see the eldest son and third son of the Cheng family coming in together, and hurriedly greeted him, but he was not very polite;
"Big brother, second brother and third brother are here."

Cheng Chusi smiled and waved his hands;
"You sit in your seat, don't rush to say hello."

"Okay. Brother Baolin, don't worry, since the second brother said that Agui and Aniu have almost learned, we can set off at any time and reopen the Silk Road, but I have to go back and find my father-in-law to pick a good day. It’s good for traveling.”

A group of brothers scrambled to agree;

"That's right, that's right! It depends on a good day. My Aye said that this is all our family's property, so don't dare to be careless."

"Who says it's not? My family is the same. Even His Royal Highness has been preparing for it for two or three months. I heard that the palace has made more than 60 carts of silk."

"Brother, you have to find a good day to go out and make everyone earn a lot of money. Your Majesty has said that anyone from the Tiance Mansion is allowed to participate. There are almost a hundred families. Don't mess it up."

Fang Yiai looked at Wuyuchi Baolin and yelled loudly;
"Ti, old Heizi Yuchi, what are you talking about in frustration? How could you smash it? This is a deal carefully planned by my virtuous brother for a long time, and it must be sure to make a profit!"

"That's right, Lao Fang, you are very meticulous today. You are more particular than me, Lao Hei. You understand!"

"That is, do you really think that Fang Yiai is a martial artist?"

Li Yu couldn't help but feel itchy when he saw the lively scene, he was so lively, of course the more lively the better, Li Yu said to Cheng Chusi;
"Brother, why don't you invite all the brothers from Tiance Mansion over here, so how about we not get drunk today?"

Cheng Chusi has always been very protective of Li Yu, Li Yu said that Cheng Chusi always supported him, and that although Cheng Chusi was very stable, he still carried Cheng Yaojin's bandit-like genes, so he immediately applauded;
"I think, how about this, let's write posts separately, and write in the name of brother."

Fang Yiai immediately stood up and dodged far away;

"Brother Cheng, don't come to me for this kind of writing business. I know many characters but they don't know me."

Yu Chigong stood beside him and laughed;
"I said old boy, do you have times when you are afraid? Your boy beat me up with a pimple on my head when I was not paying attention last winter. Seeing you so cowardly now, brother feels at ease, haha Haha! Everyone, take a look, the eldest son of the house servant can't even write well..."

A group of brothers laughed after hearing this, Fang Yiai gave Yuchi Baolin a blank look;
"Are you going to pretend that someone doesn't know those hundred or ten characters? If you're capable, you can also write two postings so that brothers can take a look at your calligraphy?"

"Look at it, whoever is afraid is not a man! My brother, get someone to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I just wrote a few posts today, and told him to stare at him with a white face. He must be mad at his grandson." No."

Li Yu covered his mouth and laughed fiercely twice, then turned his head and told Mrs. Liu;

"Young lady, send someone to prepare."

Don't look at the presence of a group of gentlemen from the Duke's family, Mrs. Liu is also a person who has seen the world, and she is much more generous than Rong Niang who is serving next to her. Hearing her husband's order, she immediately saluted in a proper manner ;
"only!"

Mrs. Liu got up and squatted Wanfu in front of a group of gentlemen, her posture was meticulous;
"My honorable gentlemen, please wait for a moment, and the servants will make arrangements."

A group of little brothers looked at the plausible, polite, dignified and generous lady Liu who looked like a big housekeeper, and nodded and smiled kindly. The three brothers of the Cheng family and Yuchi Baolin walked away two steps inadvertently, refusing to accept Liu's gift. said politely;
"The lady is free."

"My lady, you don't have to be polite."

Many people began to ask, who is this, Cheng Chubi found a seat and sat down and rushed to explain;
"This is the little girl of the wet nurse in my uncle's genealogy, and she is also the number one steward of my younger brother's inner house of Li's second room."

"Oh……"

"Oh, so the lady is the number one manager of the old county man?"

"It turns out that this is the former No. [-] steward of Li's Second Household. It's really different. After all, he is the No. [-] steward of the family. No wonder this is extremely courteous?"

The brothers who had just started to receive the ceremony stood up quickly when they heard this;

"Young lady, you are welcome."

"My lady, don't be too polite."

"Thank you gentlemen."

Lady Liu turned around and gave instructions to the two talented servants Yueru Yuqin serving in the main hall;

"Prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstone immediately, and bring more pens for the gentlemen to use!"

"It's a lady."

"It's a lady."

Li Yu turned to look at Miss Liu and Rong Niang;

"All the brothers and sisters have not arrived, so you all step back. Manager Liu can arrange affairs in the side room next to him. In addition, let the kitchen start preparations. We brothers will talk first. After a while, all the brothers will be ready. Let's start cooking."

"It's Mr. Lang."

After the two agreed, they saluted a group of gentlemen before retreating.

After a while, people brought pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and the ink was ground again. Seven or eight people sat down and began to divide who wrote the invitations of which family, and then Yuchi Baolin was assigned to write the invitations of Yan's family.

Except for Fang Yiai who stayed away from the side, almost a dozen or so families were allocated, including Li Yu, who also allocated nine invitation cards. Everyone began to work hard, but Yuchi Baolin held a brush in his hand and frowned. I was thinking hard and did not write.

Fang Yiai next to her folded her arms and spoke loudly;
"Hey, I'm talking about Li Dalang, this invitation doesn't seem to be written casually, although I don't understand it, but I also heard a few words from me, Aye, not only must you be respectful, but also write colorfully, you can't just say something casually." You come here to eat and drink with me, Li Dalang, don’t you think so?”

Li Yu knew that Yuchi Baolin couldn't write, and also knew that Fang Yiai was deliberately hurting others, so he suppressed a smile and answered;

"That's right! Brother Fang's words are right. If you just write about asking people to come over for a meal, I'm afraid the world will laugh at you."

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, it's a good thing that Yuchi Laohei knows how to write, and he doesn't need to read other people's writing. It's not good for a rough old man like me. I have to read what other people write and then write it myself. Brother Yuchi, why don't you write?" Writing? You see everyone is busy, hurry up and don't delay things, I'm still in a hurry to drink!"

Yuchi Baolin's face and neck were flushed, and he choked unhappily;
"None of your business? You stand over there, you stand in front of me and affect my writing."

Fang Yiai laughed and walked a few steps to the side, leaning against the wall, sneering and sarcastic;

"This person doesn't dare to talk nonsense. It's extremely embarrassing to brag about it. A certain family is different. A certain family has something to say, yes it will or it won't, honestly, unlike some people, the cowhide It's about to break, and I'm not afraid of people laughing my teeth out!"

Yuchi Baolin gave Fang Yiai a blank look, took the blank post book and moved it to Cheng Chusi, explaining;

"Oh, I think you have to be next to Cheng Jiaxian to be able to think like a spring. Hey, Cheng Jiaxian, your word looks a lot better recently, um, not bad!"

Of course Cheng Chusi knew that Yuchi Baolin could write, but being able to write is one thing, and writing invitations is another. Yuchi Baolin deliberately saw how he wrote and then copied it. It is rare that Cheng Chusi can do it today humorous;

"Brother, hurry up and write. Didn't you also divide into several families? Each family belongs to several brothers. If you don't write any more, do you have to wait until night?"

"Oh, good, good, write it now, write it now!"

Those present are all the little brothers who grew up playing together every day. Who doesn't know what's going on?They all knew it clearly in their hearts, several of them couldn't help writing and laughing, even the maids serving in Li Yu's main hall lowered their heads and tried not to laugh out loud.

Fang Yiai leaned against the wall and kept making sarcastic remarks;

"Brother Cheng Jia, hurry up and write yours, don't just talk about it, it will be bad if you write wrong words, this person needs face and bark, and people don't want face. The world is invincible. Oops, I really can't bear to see a certain family, but with such a little ability, they still say that thoughts are flowing like springs, I really laugh so hard that my stomach hurts!"

Yuchi Baolin is not an idiot either. While reading a post written by Cheng Chusi, he took pictures of cats and tigers, and only changed the names into the names of the couples he had assigned to him. The writing is quite neat, of course, it is limited to neatness, so don't consider the requirements for the shape and flavor...

However, in half an hour, everyone finished writing the posts in their hands, and gathered around Yuchi Baolin to watch his difficult strokes.

Yuchi Baolin's writing was extremely difficult in the first place, and now a group of people would be sweating profusely around him, wiping their cuffs for a while, for fear that they would fall on the invitation and damage the post they were writing.

Fang Yi loved to watch and shook his head, but was persuaded by his brothers to stop talking, Li Yu ordered Li Yi, the steward who served beside him;

"Arrange people to send these posts to the houses of the uncles."

Before Li Yi agreed, Cheng Chusi turned his head to interrupt;
"Don't tell them to go, those who don't know the way, we all have servants with us, you don't need to worry about it, those of us brothers who write posts, just arrange for ourselves and the servants to send them off, come here! "

"Forget it, little brother listens to big brother's arrangement."

The servants of the Cheng family who were waiting in the main hall immediately came over and agreed;

"The villain is here, Mr. Dalang, please give me instructions."

"Send the dozen or so books I wrote to Uncle Zhang's house, Uncle Chang's house, and Uncle Li's house."

"only!"

"Come here, send these written by a certain family to Uncle Cai's house and Uncle Xue's house."

"only!"

"Come here! Send what I wrote to the house of Uncle Su who is in charge of counseling and signing, uncle Yu who is engaged in Zhonglang, and Uncle Su who is in charge of military affairs and sacrificial wine."

"It's Mr. Lang."

Yuchi Baolin finally finished writing the several posts he was assigned, carefully wiped the sweat from his head, dried the ink, and kept his waist straight;

"Oh my brother, luckily, I didn't come here for free for this drink today, and at least I have some credit for it, unlike some people who have their mouths raised on their shoulders and hardly do anything else except eat."

After Yuchi Baolin proudly showed off, he arranged for the servants who came with him to deliver posts, and then happily sat down.

A group of little brothers chatted about reopening the Silk Road again. Not long after, a gentleman arrived at the nearest civil servant and military general's house in Tiance Mansion, and Li Yu's courtyard became more and more lively.

Because of etiquette, some families' lords, three or four years old, eight or nine years old, also came a lot. They were crying and making noise in an instant. Hundreds of men and women came just because of the servants. Qin Qiong's mansion There was a lot of traffic at the door again, with carriages arriving non-stop.

Finally the crown prince and several princes from the palace also came to the gate of the mansion. Li Yu went out with all the brothers to welcome His Highness the crown prince into the courtyard.

"Brother heard that you beat two blind men?"

"That's right, I brought more than 100 catties of Xiong Xiazi's meat. Even if everyone is full today, let go of their stomachs and don't save it for me!"

"It's still Li Dalang who is refreshing!"

"Isn't it? Dalang has a lot of names now. I heard that the people in the workshop are saying that there is another name, and a certain family has forgotten it!"

"Hey! I don't remember so much, I just remember that the people heard that Dalang is called Xiaomengchang!"

"There's more and more, I heard that there is another name called Living God of Wealth!"

"Don't talk about it, the God of Wealth is really in line with Dalang's style. Li Dalang's means of making money should be said to be the second. In my opinion, no one in the world would dare to say that it is the first."

Li Yu likes to hear people's praises the most, he smiled from ear to ear, and said modestly on purpose;

"Everywhere, it's all messing around..."
