The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 747 Sentiment
It was not good for Mrs. Xu to send a concubine to Lu Jinkang, and those who had heard the rumors that they wanted to send a beauty to Lu Jinkang all died down.

On the contrary, Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo lived a peaceful life amidst the rumors.

In September, as the wedding of the second girl Lu Yumin approached, Su Yunduo became busy again.

This is the second wedding event that Su Yunduo has organized since taking over the palm of the hand. Compared with the first wedding event that she organized, this wedding seems to be more convenient for Su Yunduo.

This is a wedding celebration for a daughter-in-law, which is much simpler than marrying a daughter-in-law. Besides, the last time a big house married a daughter-in-law, and because she just took over the gift from the hand, no matter how capable Su Yunduo is, if An Shi is not behind her to support her, Su Yunduo felt that it was difficult to do everything by relying on himself and the people around him.

This time is different, after almost a year of experience, Su Yunduo has absolute control over the inner courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, and he is naturally very handy in handling it.

The girl from the third room was married in this marriage, many things were taken care of by the aunt of the third room, Mrs. Yang, more often Su Yunduo retreated behind Mrs. Yang to help Mrs. Yang.

Of course, the arrangement of the wedding banquet needs Su Yunduo to manage it all.

However, the scale of the banquet for marrying a daughter-in-law is obviously much smaller than that of marrying a daughter-in-law, and the duration is not long. After sending the bride out, the house quickly quiets down. The dinner this day is basically a gathering of people in my house. Eat and drink in Zhenghetang.

The person Lu Yumin married was the nephew of Yang's natal sister-in-law. His surname was Zhang Mingli. This new uncle named Zhang Li was a scholar this year.

When the newlyweds returned home for three dynasties, one shyly replied, while the other was refreshed. It was obvious that the newlyweds lived very well together, which made everyone in the mansion heave a long sigh of relief.

After finishing Lu Yumin's three-dynasty back-door banquet, before I knew it, it was the Double Ninth Festival.

The Double Ninth Festival, also known as "Climbing Festival" and "Chrysanthemum Festival", is one of the traditional Chinese festivals for worshiping ancestors.

On this day, Lu Mingyang, as the head of the clan, took a group of men from his family to the Lu Clan's Ancestral Temple to perform sacrificial activities. When they returned to the mansion, Su Yunduo had already prepared a carriage, so those who got on the carriage got on the carriage, and those who got on the horse got on the horse. Go straight out of the west gate.

As in previous years, today the family will go to Xishan to climb high or practice Zen.

Of course, there are also those who are the same as in previous years. This year they will not stay at Xishan Temple.

After ascending the heights and practicing Zen, after taking a vegetarian meal in the Xishan Temple, and resting for an hour, a group of people got on the carriages and horses again, and went straight to Leyou Villa.

Stay at Leyou Villa for one night, soak in hot springs and drink chrysanthemum wine, and return home in the afternoon of the second day.

The Double Ninth Festival has a three-day holiday, and as the weather turns cooler, more people come to Leyou Mountain Villa to play and soak in the springs. Of course, no matter how many guests there are, there are three courtyards that are not open to the public. The main courtyard, the small courtyard where Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo lived, and the courtyard reserved for Su Yunduo's natal family.

Although many people came to the Zhen Guogong's mansion today, it is still comfortable to live in.

It's just that the son and the girls want to live in a wooden house or a bamboo house this time, so I'm afraid it will be a little embarrassing.

Bamboo houses and wooden houses are the most sought-after in this neither hot nor cold season. Although Su Yunduo sent a letter to the villa early when arranging travel and living, can there be wooden houses and bamboo houses in the villa to satisfy the mansion? Ladies and gentlemen, she really doesn't know.

"Sister-in-law, I want to live in the bamboo house." Lu Jinshu, the youngest nine sons in the mansion, has been obsessed with living in the bamboo house once, not only got off the carriage at the villa, but then pedaled to Su Yunduo's carriage, and asked Su Yunduo made a request.

Lu Jinshu started, and before Su Yunduo got off the carriage, he was blocked by several young men and girls. This one clamored to live in a wooden house, and the other clamored to live in a bamboo house, which made Su Yunduo very upset. have no choice.

The commotion here is a bit loud, don't pay attention to Lu Jinkang who has been paying attention to Su Yunduo, even Lu Mingyang and An Shi, who are at the front of the motorcade, have heard the commotion here.

Although he couldn't quite hear what was going on behind him, he could roughly guess the reason from the sporadic voices, and Lu Mingyang was a little unhappy.

According to Lu Mingyang's plan, after climbing the mountain and practicing Zen today, he will bring his attendants to live in the villa for a while, and the others will stay in the guest courtyard of Xishan Chanyuan for one night as in previous years, and then stay in Xishan the next day Attending Zen in the Zen courtyard and listening to the Buddha, the sons and daughters fly paper kites in the open space behind the mountain, and then return home after having a vegetarian meal.

After hearing the words of several daughter-in-laws, Pian'an wanted to come to Leyou Villa to stay overnight.

In the end, the troublesome villa didn't mention it, but they made such and such requests one by one. This is treating Leyou villa as the government of the town, and they don't know how to be polite at all!
With a sullen face, Lu Mingyang glanced at the sons standing beside his carriage respectfully, and then said to Lu Jinkang, "Go and bring those boys over to me!"

This is obviously the fault of several sons. Lu Jinkang handed over the old man to several uncles, and strode towards Su Yunduo's carriage with a cold face. I took it out.

The Eighth and Ninth Young Masters are only eight years old this year, and they are at the age when they are so naughty that people hate dogs. Moreover, the young masters of the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion have been practicing martial arts since they were young. None of them screamed, but they bent their legs in the air and hugged their chests with their hands. They had already prepared themselves for defense. Turning over and standing firmly two feet away from the carriage, Su Yunduo who was coming out of the carriage with his head involuntarily gave a thumbs up in his heart.

The glory of the Zhen Guogong Mansion today is inseparable from the daily efforts and sweat of the men.

This was just a small episode after entering the villa. Although it made Lu Mingyang feel a little unhappy, he was proud of the two little grandsons who won applause from the guests visiting the villa with their good skills. Enter the main courtyard.

Naturally, Lu Mingyang and An lived in the upper room of the main courtyard, and the uncle and aunt of the third room were also arranged in the main courtyard.

Originally, Su Yunduo planned to temporarily arrange the young masters to live in the small courtyard reserved for her natal family, while the girls could be accommodated with their respective parents because they were not very old.

Naturally, the two girls in the first room followed An to the upper room, and were placed in the east and west rooms of the upper room respectively.

Seeing that the young masters and girls were a little disconcerted, Su Yunduo couldn't bear it, so he specially called Shen Bao, who was in charge of Leyou Villa, to inquire about the occupancy status of the wooden house and the bamboo house.

"I know that the young masters and girls in the mansion will like to live in wooden houses and bamboo buildings when they come to the villa, so I specially vacated a few wooden houses and bamboo buildings, but there are not many of them. Only two people can live in one room." The masters had a good time and lived happily, and Shen Bao started to make arrangements after receiving Su Yunduo's letter.

The weather has gradually entered the peak season of Leyou Mountain Villa, and it is the Double Ninth Festival, Shen Bao has really spent a lot of thought in order to vacate these wooden houses and bamboo buildings.

Su Yunduo asked Shen Bao to take him to check it out. The vacated wooden house and bamboo building are relatively large. A wooden house and bamboo building are more than enough for two young masters and girls plus their servants. Can't help but give Shen Bao a thumbs up.

Then he went back to the main courtyard to discuss with An Shi, and re-arranged the residence for the young master and the girls.

Knowing that they can still live in the wooden house and bamboo house they like when they come to the villa this time, the young master and the girls burst into smiles.There is no need for adults to assign them, and they live in wooden houses and bamboo buildings happily in pairs.

Su Yunduo found that the third, fourth and fifth sons, who seemed to have been staying out of their way all the time, also showed joyful smiles on their faces when they learned that they could live in the wooden house, which shows the popularity of the wooden house and the bamboo house.

After everyone is settled properly, the next step is free activities, such as soaking in the spring or playing or going to the mountains to pick wild fruits. The people in the villa will follow and take care of them, so there is no need for Su Yunduo to worry about it.

When Su Yunduo returned to the small courtyard where he and Lu Jinkang lived, Lu Jinkang took him to a hot spring before sitting down to drink.

It was an hour and a half after the couple reappeared in front of the crowd. At this time, the sky had already darkened, and all the people gathered in the upper room of the main courtyard to wait for the farm banquet specially prepared for them by the villa.

On the basis of strengthening hot springs and entertainment this winter, the villa will specially launch farm banquets and pots.

Today's farm banquet is a specially formulated recipe by Su Yunduo, which is very different from the usual banquets. Farm dishes such as stewed chicken with mushrooms, boiled small fish with pancakes, and brazier pot with tofu and bacon are naturally difficult to be elegant. It is very suitable for the occasion in the villa.

What's even more rare is that the new chef hired by the villa has excellent cooking skills. This table of farm tea may seem crude, but it makes everyone feel satisfied.

"This is the upcoming farm banquet? It tastes good! When the farm banquet is launched, the business of the villa may be even hotter than last year!" Lu Mingyang put down his chopsticks, took the mouthwash and rinsed his mouth and praised.

Lu Mingyang's appetite has always been good, but it is rare to add more rice on weekdays, but today he ate two bowls of rice, which shows that the dishes of the farm banquet are very suitable for his appetite.

Not only did Lu Mingyang eat an extra bowl of rice today, even An's, who has always had a bad appetite, also used almost half a bowl of rice. Hearing what Lu Mingyang said, he nodded again and again: "Although it looks rough, the taste is really good. I don't know Before I knew it, I used up half a bowl of rice, no, I have to go out for a walk!"

Anshi stood up as he spoke, not walking around to digest food, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fall asleep today.

The only ones who ate too much today were the two elderly people. Except for Su Yunduo, almost everyone bowed down in front of the delicious food.

As a result, a rare scene appeared in the brightly lit Leyou Villa, and the Zhen Guogong Mansion came to a night tour in a mighty manner from top to bottom.

This rare night tour made them discover that the evening scenery of the villa is not worse than that of the daytime, and the night tour of the villa is also very emotional.

Su Yunduo didn't have such leisure and elegance, because Lu Jinkang dragged her to soak in the spring in the afternoon, disrupting her arrangement, so she had to use this time to invite the stewards of the villa to discuss matters.

"The first batch of baijiu we brewed in our distillery was the first time we brewed it, and we used a new brewing process. We didn't dare to brew too much. We only brewed a thousand catties of sorghum liquor. The brewed liquor can't be regarded as a failure. It’s not that good, but it’s stronger than the previous wine, and after one refinement, it can reach the level of the previous three refinements. After that, it’s brewed three times in a row, and the last one comes out is this wine.” A wine jar sealed with yellow mud was placed in front of Su Yunduo.

Sitting next to Su Yunduo, Lu Jinkang split the mud seal with his palm, and the fragrance of wine immediately permeated the meeting hall.

"Good wine!" After tasting the wine, the well-informed Lu Jinkang couldn't help but praise it.

Compared with the wines of this era, this wine is indeed considered good wine, but Su Yunduo is still not satisfied, because the brewing process is limited and the fermentation time is too short. Fragrant wine is too far behind.

However, Su Yunduo also understood that the food needs to be eaten bite by bite, and the road is walking step by step, and he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he followed Lu Jinkang and gave a heartfelt praise of "yes".

With the successful experience of this batch of wine, as well as master Zeng and his apprentice who are willing to study hard, I believe that it will not be too long before Luzhou-flavored wine and Maotai-flavored wine will be born.

"Our distillery has successfully brewed good-quality baijiu, which is gratifying and congratulatory, but the purification of medical liquor is related to the lives of soldiers in the border towns, and we must not slack off." Su Yunduo looked at Zhang Ping'an and repeatedly urged.

Autumn is the harvest season, and it is also the season when border crossings are most prone to wars.

Once a war breaks out, the demand for medical wine in border towns will increase exponentially.

I don't know what the Holy Majesty thinks, the workshop of Tai Hospital has been built for almost a year, but it still hasn't been completed yet, and Leyou Winery is still the only manufacturer of Dongling Country's medical wine.

Although Leyou wine shop has made some money, the profit from refining medical wine really cannot be compared with self-brewed wine.

Even so, Su Yunduo has repeatedly emphasized that the winery should increase the amount of medical wine refined, even if there is a backlog of medical wine stocks.

After discussing the matter with the stewards, it was almost Haishi.

In the previous life, even if it was a rest day, at this point Su Yunduo would have to read the news, play games or watch TV in front of the computer.

But this world has neither computers nor TVs, not to mention bars, clubs, etc., and naturally there is no corresponding nightlife, so it is time to rest at this time of weekdays.

It's just that today Su Yunduo always felt that there was something unplanned in his heart, and when he returned to the small courtyard with Lu Jinkang, he still looked thoughtful, and even Lu Jinkang seemed a little absent-minded when talking to her.

"What's the matter? What's on your mind? Tell me!" Lu Jinkang hugged Su Yunduo into his arms, and lightly pecked her on the face.

"Husband, do you think we should strengthen the security of our winery? There are so many high-grade wines in the warehouse, if something happens accidentally, it will be a big deal!" Su Yunduo couldn't help but I felt a sudden jump in my heart, and looked sideways at Lu Jinkang in some panic, as if something had happened to the winery.

Lu Jinkang couldn't help but smiled lightly: "You don't have to worry about this, my Majesty has already made arrangements since the Holy Majesty realized the effect of medical wine. In addition to our own people in the warehouse, the Majesty sent another person to protect secretly."

Su Yunduo blinked at Lu Jinkang, and then pushed Lu Jinkang angrily after a while, this person is too annoying!
Since the Holy Majesty had already made an arrangement, why couldn't he tell her earlier, causing her to worry about it!
Lu Jinkang chuckled, and hugged him back into his arms. If he had told her about this earlier, he wouldn't be so emotional now!
If Su Yunduo knew that Lu Jinkang took this as sentimentality, he might beat him to death, but it's a pity that Lu Jinkang would never let Su Yunduo know about it.
