During this period, the house behind the government office was completely in order.

The house is no longer ventilated, the kitchen has been cleaned up, and the cabinets and cabinet doors have been repainted, making everything look clean and clear.

Baking mooncakes in such an environment makes you feel so comfortable.

There are two kinds of fillings in the mooncakes, five kernels and red bean paste.

Except for soybean oil and meat oil, everything else is produced by the Li family.The adzuki beans are cooked, pounded, peeled and sugared one day in advance.Walnut kernels, hazelnuts, pine nuts, etc. are also prepared one day in advance, so you can get twice the result with half the effort.

Since it was the first time I used the oven here, I didn’t control the heat very well, so the first batch of mooncakes came out a little too hot.But this did not stop the children from eating. Li Yue, Li Tian, ​​and Li Huai ate deliciously, and Shunxi and Shuangxi also ate several pieces.

I originally planned to skip cooking at noon and simply eat moon cakes and take a bite. Who would have thought that I would go out to exchange goods and actually come back.When Cheng Xue heard the news, she thought she was hallucinating. After confirming it again, she put down her work and went out with Li Yue and her brothers.

"Sister - look!" Li Heng raised the fiery red fur in his hand like a treasure.

The red color looks like fire from a distance and is particularly eye-catching. If you wear this in the snow, it will definitely be the most eye-catching.The three Li Yue siblings ran very fast. Cheng Xue followed behind and looked at the woolen materials the two girls were holding. To be honest, she wanted it too.It's a pity that her current age no longer allows her to wear red or green.

Bai Shao walked up to her in a few steps, held her arm affectionately, and said:

"Madam, we are lucky today. We met several Beiqi people selling firefox wool. It's really cheap. Twenty pounds of dried vegetables and fifty pounds of whole grains can be exchanged for two sheets. We exchanged six sheets in total, which is enough for two The young lady is making a cloak. The eldest young master also gave the madam and the master some sable skins, and the slave will start making it after this busy period."

Looking at the two carts full of wool, Cheng Xue touched this and pinched that. It felt really good.

"Mom, those Beiqi people who came to the mutual market are so generous. They exchanged such good leather for food, and they didn't ask for much. We didn't even bargain with them, and the exchange was quick. If these things were transported back to the capital, it would be terrible I’ve made a lot of money.” Li Heng said while eating mooncakes.

The mooncakes were brought to him by Li Huai when he came out of the house. They were filled with five kernels and were fragrant and sweet.

Tiandong scratched his head when he heard this and said with a naive smile:
"I didn't think much about it when I changed it. I waited until the villain reacted and wanted to increase the price, so I stopped rushing."

"Mom, you can't blame Tiandong for this. The main reason is that there is no caravan passing by today, so we can only fumble around." Li Heng helped explain, "I spent money to buy a few people from our city, so they didn't suffer any loss. ."

Cheng Xue has no doubt about this.

The children of the Li family have been sensible since they were young. In addition, she and Li Hui are able to guide, have upright views, and are warm-hearted.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. It's better than anything else if the things are not lost. Keep our share and send the rest to the warehouse. Once everything is replaced, it will be sent back to Wanghe Village."

Cheng Xue gave the order and everyone started to move quickly.The back house is now made of copper and iron. No mole or thief can enter, and even rats dare not come in because rat poison has been sprinkled all around.

After dinner, Cheng Xue led others to bake two more batches of mooncakes.Just after it was over, Li Hui and Yan Yixin came back from the Yamen.I usually make something to eat for the two of them, and today there happened to be freshly baked mooncakes, paired with two bowls of hot oil tea noodles, which were fragrant and stomach-warming.

Seeing that Yan Yixin was almost finished eating, Li Yue asked softly:

"Brother Yixin, would you like some more?"

"No, I'm full." After Yan Yixin finished speaking, he turned to look at Cheng Xue and said, "Auntie, I'll go to the porridge shop outside the city with Tiedan and Tangtang tomorrow morning. Don't worry, everything is ready there. alright."

"Do you have time tomorrow? I'm so busy, I won't bother you anymore."

"It's okay. I'll go to the Yamen after I'm done with the porridge. I've already agreed with my uncle." Yan Yixin responded with a smile.

Seeing Li Hui nod, Cheng Xue simply stopped insisting.He told the child to rest early and asked Bai Wei to send Li Yue back to his room, and then he and Li Hui got up and left.Even though the matter between the two children was tacitly understood, it was still inappropriate to be alone in the middle of the night.After returning to the east room and closing the door, Li Hui did not rush to change clothes. Instead, he sat on the Taishi chair under the window and held Cheng Xue in his arms.

"What's wrong? When you're tired, go to bed on the kang. It's so heavy when you hold me in your arms."

"Are you still heavy?" Li Hui disapproved, gently pinched her slender waist and said, "Those four spit."

Cheng Xue stared in surprise, doubting her hearing again.A full seven days have passed since the four people were taken there.Wen Tian and Yong Xi took turns asking questions. She thought it would take three days at most, but she didn't expect...

Sure enough, the deadpools trained by rich families are very good.And apart from cultivating Gastrodia elata, they will not have another one.

"What are you going to do? Are you going to write something to impeach the Marquis of Zhenbei?"

Liang Yan has always had a clear distinction between civil and military officials. Now that Lord Su has stretched his hand so far, she believes that Li Hui will not tolerate it.

Who would have thought-

"It's not Old Su, it's the deputy commander of the Northern Army - Gu Quanming!"

Gu Quanming, the second son of the Gu family in Beijing, is also the brother-in-law of Mrs. Gu, the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei.After Zhenbei Hou left the northern border, Gu Quanming was responsible for everything in the military camp.It can be said that the relationship between the Gu and Su families is deeply entangled, and as long as the monarch is not a fool, he has to be on guard against the fat garrison in the north.

Therefore, based on the principle of "beating the master to death with random punches", Li Hui was sent.Now, no matter what Qiu Hong and the other four people said, as long as Li Hui handed over the information, Gu Quanming would have to leave.Lord Su is determined to come back in a hurry, but the lamb who entered Beijing still wants to run away?

Cheng Xue looked at the old god Li Hui, smiled and tilted her head in his arms, saying nothing.

The next second, he picked her up completely and placed her on the kang.

"My wife is tired, let's go to sleep."

Seeing that it was a lie that he was sleeping and that he was noisy, he quickly pressed his hand and reminded him:

"Don't make trouble, you have to go to the Yamen early tomorrow."

Li Hui kissed her on the face, smiled evilly, and said:
"I have three days off on statutory holidays, don't you understand?"

"Shit, there's no law here...well..."

Before Cheng Xue could finish her words, he was completely blocked and unable to make a sound.

After the clouds and rain in Wushan, Cheng Xue lay tiredly on the kang, closing his eyes and panting.Li Hui was like a satiated leopard, with one hand behind his head and a smile on his face.

"Daughter-in-law, I didn't lie to you when I told you three days. I really gave the government office three days' leave, but there are people on duty for these three days. My rotation is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I will be at home tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"What about Yixin? Is he on duty tomorrow?"

"Yes, that's really smart." Li Hui kissed her as a reward, feeling secretly moved.

I have been busy since I arrived in the North. Recently, I have been so busy that I have to take off in order to arrange a three-day holiday. I finally have a rest tomorrow, so I naturally have to treat myself...
