pampering wife

Chapter 175

When the news was reported to the palace, the emperor was very happy to hear it, and immediately granted Junli Fu Qingmei's request to be a noble concubine, and was registered in the registry, followed by an imperial decree, conferring the newly born baby as the princess of Roujia County , can be regarded as giving enough honor.

On the day of the Little County Mistress's full moon wine, the Palace of the King of England was bustling like never before.The news that Qingmei became a British prince and concubine has already spread, so this small banquet can be regarded as a double happiness. The emperor was busy with government affairs and had no time to get away, so he sent the head of the inner court to personally deliver congratulatory gifts. Naturally, you have to be hospitable.

Fortunately, she has opened a tavern for several years, and during the few months at the Plum Tavern in the capital, she did not lose her dealings with noble ladies.She may not like this kind of occasion, but it is not difficult to deal with it, besides, she is a person who has just given birth, as long as she leans on the beauty's couch in the pagoda, when someone comes in to congratulate, it is enough to be polite, even if it is not thoughtful No one dares to criticize.

After becoming a mother, after a period of pregnancy and childbirth, the whole person has undergone some changes.Most of the time is spent on the baby every day, and there are always several wet nurses to take care of them, but they still have to accompany the baby baby all the time.

In this way, the time to go to the wine cellar is much less.The wine cellar was originally set up to pass the time, and there were waves of fine wine brewed in it, which could not be used up by hundreds of people in the palace.So she discussed with Mrs. Xu, allocated half of them to the Plum Tavern, left a few people to obey orders in the wine cellar of the palace, and released the rest.

These people are not servants of the palace, they come from different backgrounds, with Qing Mei's permission, some of them really have the idea of ​​opening a tavern.However, there is already a well-known Plum Tavern in central Beijing, so I had no choice but to go elsewhere.

However, the storefront of this plum tavern in Beijing is obviously smaller, and there is not enough wine.For Xu Huaiyuan's plan, Qingmei persuaded Xu to build a large wine cellar outside the city, and set up a bigger store on Hede Street, so it would not be too troublesome to transport the wine into the city every day.However, under such circumstances, the more employees are hired, the Xu family can't be busy, so he finds an experienced manager to handle these things.

This manager was personally selected by Qingmei, he has a honest personality, but he is quick-witted in handling things.He came from a low family background. He was originally employed as a shopkeeper in a restaurant in the capital. Later, the owner of the restaurant moved his family south. Because his wife's cemetery was in the suburbs of Beijing, he didn't want to leave the capital, so he stayed idle.Now that the tavern is just short of a manager, Qing Mei inquired about his background and made a decision immediately.The affairs of the tavern and wine cellar are all handed over to the steward, and Xu's side has to take care of housework.

When the tavern opened again, it was bustling like never before. More than [-] bartenders were not enough to greet the customers, and some people were transferred from the wine cellar to help.

This tavern is now under Xu Huaiyuan's name, she is still very happy when she sees the bustle.When the Plum Tavern opened in Wancheng, it was small and deserted. Later, the business gradually improved, and she also had the dream of opening a big tavern and making the fruit wine famous.It's only two or three years now, all of this happened suddenly, and it's surprising when you think about it.

That night, a small celebratory banquet was held in the courtyard of Huazhi Lane, and a banquet was held at the Xianliu Mansion on Hede Street, where the deeply respected Xu and He families ate and talked together.

Qingmei's side obviously didn't want to miss such excitement, so she brought Luzhu over. Junli is not a person who likes to put on airs, so she brought Danqing to join in the fun.On the He family's side, He Zimo's recent move into the Ministry of Officials was considered a happy event, and Wu Yujian, who was two months pregnant, came to celebrate together.

The weather in early October was getting cooler, and I was sitting in the yard wearing jackets, and it happened to be neither hot nor cold.The begonias in the yard have long been ripe, and the leaves are still dark green at the moment, and the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance from the yard next door is wafting over.There is no need to be particular about such small gatherings at home. Sitting in a circle without identity, there is a homely warmth.Both families have been busy in the past two months, and this time it can be regarded as making up for the lack of Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. He sat together, Qingmei and Junli sat side by side, He Zimo and Wu Yujian sat together, and the rest Xu Huaiyuan and He Zilian happened to sit together.When they were young, they talked and laughed freely, Xu Huaiyuan often abandoned his friends because of He Zilian, but now that he is older and has other concerns, and he has studied in the academy for a long time, he is a little more cautious when he treats He Zilian.Although he is not as ignorant and naughty as he was when he was a child, the boy's thoughts are still clearly revealed in his eyebrows and eyes.

Everyone here is a discerning person, and the two childhood sweethearts have similar personalities. That night, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. He were able to make an appointment and got married.
