Mrs. Yipin's Farmer's Wife

Chapter 600 Year-End (4)
In the afternoon, Liu He came to see his daughter. Besides discussing the year-end summary of the wine shop and the gourmet shop, shopkeepers from all over the place gathered together. Originally, preparations for this event should have started in October, but such and such things have been delayed until Now.

Now all the shopkeepers have arrived in the capital, and they were arranged to live in Liu's house by shopkeeper Fang and Liu He.

Liu Qiao resolved to forget about this matter, picked it up while feeling annoyed, and planned to start dealing with it tomorrow, and the location was set at Liu's house, but Yi Zhiyun disagreed.

The reason is simple, not safe.

Liu He was puzzled, he still didn't know what happened yesterday.

Yi Zhiyun didn't say anything about what happened yesterday, he just said that he used the Queen Mother's incident as an excuse to let Liu Qiao arrange the gathering place in Yifu.

Liu He agrees.

Liu Qiao sighed and followed Yi Zhiyun's suggestion.

After Liu He left, Yi Zhiyun came to Yu Yang and tidied up the flower hall next to the main hall in the front yard as a place for Liu Qiao to deal with the matter. There were dozens of shopkeepers in each of them, so naturally they couldn't live in Yi House. They lived in Liu's house and came here during the day, Yi Zhiyun agreed.

Originally, he wanted to arrange it in the study room, but Liu Qiao disagreed. With Yi Zhiyun's current status, the study room should be an important place in the mansion.

So it was finally settled in the flower hall.

That night, Liu Qiao resolutely stopped the activities that had already caused her a burden. Yi Zhiyun didn't insist either, but he pretended to be pitiful, saying that he went to the military camp and expected to come back at the end of the month, and would miss her so much. In the end, her heart softened, and the result It was too late to regret the next day.

Gritting his teeth, he got up from the bed and started the busiest day of the year.

Yi Zhiyun really failed to come back at night, but the letters kept coming.

Liu Qiao was so busy that he couldn't breathe, but he still had time to write to him, and he wanted to kick him into the corner, but the reason why he was so busy was because Xiao Yu didn't care about anything this time.

Originally thought that Xiao Yu would show up this time, but he just sent someone to say that the Imperial Academy is busy at the end of the year, and she will be in charge of the summary.

But Liu Qiao also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he probably figured it out, so he avoided suspicion.

In addition to the wine shop and gourmet shop, the land rent collection situation in various places also has to be dealt with.

Review the accounts, make plans for the next season, distribute year-end benefits, summarize various situations, and understand employees' thoughts. Once the process is completed, it will be almost New Year's Eve.

Although the capital is full of flowers and the Chinese New Year is extremely lively, many customs are overwhelmed by the so-called glory. For example, worshiping the Kitchen God is a servant's business. For example, buying new year's goods is also a servant's business. Always the servant can move, and the master will do it with his mouth.

Liuqiao suddenly felt nostalgic for the bustle of the year.

In fact, ever since Yi Zhiyun joined the army, she never got back those excitements.

In charge of affairs in various places, except those who are relatively close to the capital can rush back to celebrate the New Year, the others have to stay in the capital for the New Year. Liu Qiao also knows that it is because of her personal reasons that the delay in summarization is caused. Although these people are her subordinates, they are also Ordinary people, it is only natural for them to reunite with their families during the New Year.

Now that they can't go back, Liu Qiao can only arrange for them to spend a good year in the capital as much as possible.

However, she could only open her mouth, and Liu He was arranging the rest.

Because things on the business side have just been taken care of, things in the mansion over there have also come, the situation of land rent collection, Zhuangzi's production, and the most important thing is the exchange of annual gifts.

Liu Qiao thought for a while, and handed over the most important annual ceremony to Yun Shi. Instead of going to see her, he asked Yu Yang to go to her and tell her about it. The reason was that she didn't understand, and Yun Shi But he spent a year in the capital.

But after Yi Zhiyun went to the military camp, she and the Yun family were very few. One time, the Crown Princess sent someone to deliver things, and the other time, Mrs. Zhongshan Bo Shizi brought the young lady from Weiyuan Hou's mansion to visit. Once the queen mother gave something as a reward, and they went to pick it up.

Yun did not refuse the matter.

Liu Qiao was also thrown away, and other rent collection and production were handed over to Yu Yang, and then he planned to take a rest, but before the rest began, someone from the palace came.

Empress Dowager Mingrui announced her into the palace.

Empress Dowager Mingrui has not been to Xiangguo Temple since she returned to the palace, and Princess Jingyang has been replacing Empress Dowager Mingrui at Xiangguo Temple. Of course, the evil things done in the middle have been covered up.

This can be said to be the longest time Empress Dowager Mingrui has stayed in the palace since the death of the first emperor. Many people think that this has something to do with Liuqiao, so even though Liuqiao has been rejecting invitations from various mansions, there are still people who keep asking questions. send it.

If Mrs. Zhongshan Bo Shizi hadn't had contact with her before, and Yi Zhiyun had a good relationship with Yu Chiyang, Liu Qiao didn't plan to pick her up.

This time, she knew that the person who came to Xuanliu Bridge was the father-in-law of Ci'an Palace, but even so, she still raised her vigilance, and didn't relax until she really saw the Empress Dowager Mingrui.

"Okay, okay, I said that you don't need to be too polite when you see the Ai family." Empress Dowager Mingrui stopped Liu Qiao from saluting, then pulled him to sit beside her, and looked carefully, "You child, no matter how busy you are with business You have to take care of your body too, look, you're even thinner than when you left the palace last time!"

"The Queen Mother knows that I'm busy?" Liu Qiao smiled.

Empress Dowager Mingrui smiled and said: "I originally wanted you to enter the palace to accompany Ai's family, but the crown princess told Ai's family that you have been busy these days. Only after the crown princess said so, Ai's family knew that your business is so good. big."

"I love silver, so I tossed it hard, and it became so big by accident." Liu Qiao laughed.

Empress Dowager Mingrui laughed out loud, "Don't let those men who work hard but remain unknown hear your words!"

"I dare to talk about it in front of the Queen Mother." Liu Qiao smiled.

Empress Dowager Mingrui smiled even more happily, "What? You dare not say it in front of your husband?"

"I won't tell him, lest he come and steal my money!" Liu Qiao raised his eyebrows.

Empress Dowager Mingrui was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Are you reluctant to give him the money?"

"His money is mine, and mine is mine!" Liu Qiao said with a smile, "This way he won't go bad!"

"You..." Empress Dowager Mingrui didn't seem to know what to say for a while, but she was very happy, even happier than the days when she was with her before, "Aqiao, what happened to Jingyang last time..."

"Queen Dowager." Liu Qiao didn't let her finish. The last time Empress Dowager Mingrui sent someone to reward things, she knew she knew about it, but she also acquiesced in this way of handling it. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, it was just one more thing It's better to have one less thing, "Princess Jingyang is young, so she will inevitably make mistakes."

"You don't blame her?" Empress Dowager Mingrui asked.

Liu Qiao smiled and said, "As long as she doesn't come to grab my husband anymore, I won't blame her!"
