The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Fu thought of what Cheng Yaojin said, and that he was about to get married...

Xiao Tao's words were only about brother-sister love...

Although it is common to have one wife and multiple concubines these days, as expected, even though he is rich and powerful, this little bit of morality still exists.

He can't do anything to an underage girl next door who has been with him since childhood...

If Xiao Tao doesn't want to, it's okay if she wants to stay in the mansion. The family is big and it's not like they can't afford to support one person.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is nothing to worry about.

After his wife gets married, he can just make it clear.

The next morning, before dawn, Cheng Yaojin packed up and left. He still had to go to the palace to attend court.

In summer, the daytime is long. If you go out to the palace at this time in the morning, the sky is bright, and the sun is not that scorching.

In winter, going to the palace to attend court at this time and moving people out of the warm bed is very torturous.

When Li Fu woke up, it was already dawn. Xiao Tao brought clean water into the room and put it on the copper basin stand.

The two did not mention what happened yesterday.

"Where is Lao Cheng? Has he left?" Li Fu asked.

"Yes, Duke Lu still has to attend court." Xiao Tao responded.

"Having to get up before dawn to go to work, this kind of hard life is really for anyone who wants to go." Li Fu muttered.

When he was in the palace, Li Erfeng wanted him to attend court and participate in politics, but he didn't even think about it.

Look at the weather outside.

I don't know how long the wind and snow yesterday will last.

After Li Fu got up and washed, he dressed neatly and grabbed a cloak to put on himself before going out.

When he opened the door, the snow in the yard had been cleared away long ago.

"When did the snow fall yesterday?" Li Fu asked.

"I don't know about that. When I got up this morning, it had stopped. When it was slightly light, the people in our mansion had already gotten up to clean up the snow in the house. However, there was still a lot of snow. It fell on the ground, forming a thick layer. It took a lot of effort just to clean up this yard."

The servants of Jingyang Palace took wooden shovels and piled the snow in the yard into one place, and then transported it out with a wheelbarrow to keep the yard clean.

They had to give priority to cleaning the places where Li Fu had set foot, the yard where he lived, the yard of the study, including the front hall, and the road from the front hall to the gate.

In the morning, when eating in the front hall, Lao Zhao came in from outside in heavy clothes, panting as he spoke.

"My dear, I just went outside to take a look. People were still cleaning the streets outside the door. I don't know what the situation is outside the alley. I'm afraid our New Year gift will have to be postponed for a day or two before sending it out."

Li Fu nodded.

"Well, it doesn't matter. In this weather, every family is like this. Let's wait for two more days. Anyway, it's fine to send it before the New Year, even if it's New Year's Eve." Li Fu said.

When it comes to gift giving, in this weather, there is snow outside, and it hasn't been cleared up yet. Even if you try to go out, it's hard for the carriage to move.

It's estimated that in two or three days, the snow outside will be cleared up, at least on the main streets, a road will be cleared in the middle.

"It looks like it snowed a lot last night."

"Yes, I went out to take a look. The snow on the roadside is quite thick. I guess the houses in Chang'an may have collapsed. I went out for a long time this morning and didn't see the Jinwu Guards patrolling the city. Although the weather is not very good, the Jinwu Guards' patrol schedule will not change. I guess the Jinwu Guards received orders from above to help the Chang'an people whose houses collapsed, clear the snow, or rescue people."

"When it rains and snows, and the weather is a little bad, people will suffer disasters. This kind of thing is inevitable." Lao Zhao said: "Wait a few days, the farm will send news. I wonder if the farmers in the farm have experienced this situation."

Houses collapse on rainy days. Although houses will not collapse on snowy days, the roof may not be able to support the weight of the snow. If the roof collapses, even repairing the roof is a difficult task.

"The new houses on the farm have to be built in the spring of next year. This autumn, we asked the farmers to change houses. It was just a test. I didn't expect that there were so many people who wanted to do so." Li Fu smiled.

"After all, we have money in our hands. Who doesn't want to live a good life? Those houses were built by the people on the farm. Everyone knows the labor and materials. They know that they are good houses. How can they not be happy to live in them?Are you positive?

In the past, it was for the nobles who came to the manor to live in. "

"Then the second phase will be built according to the first phase. Those who did not win the lottery last time will be given priority in this house exchange." Li Fu said: "In the next few years, we will strive to let all the farmers in the manor live in new houses, so that when it rains and snows, the people in the house will not worry about whether their houses will have any problems due to disasters. "

"Houses are people's livelihoods, and they are the most basic things. If even the most basic things cannot be guaranteed for the farmers, how can we expect them to live well in the manor."

If they have to worry about the most basic things, how can they farm or work in the future?

Birds know to build a nest before laying eggs.

If you want to increase the population of the manor, the nest must be built firmly?

"What you said is right, young master. "Old Zhao responded repeatedly.

In the past two years, the changes that have taken place in the manor are undoubtedly earth-shaking, which was unimaginable before.

Now, no matter what Li Fu said, Old Zhao firmly believed that Li Fu was right.

Originally, if what his husband said was not right, would life get better and better?

What's wrong with the royal family? What's wrong with the reward from His Majesty? Compared with the family business created by the Jingyang Palace, the reward from His Majesty is not enough to support the manor for two months.

"If there is nothing else to do in the next two days, just stay at home." Li Fu said: "It's just right to prepare things for the New Year. New Year's Eve, once a year, is also prepared for everyone in the house. Pay attention to what everyone thinks. "Li Fu said.

It's better not to snow before the New Year, otherwise it will be inconvenient for the village to communicate with Chang'an City. After the New Year's Day, it will be inconvenient for families to visit each other and attend banquets.

There is also the Lantern Festival in more than half a month. It is hard to have a day without curfew in a year.
