The emperor in the palace finally relaxed after hearing the news from the northwest.

Before things didn't work out, everything was changing, and he didn't dare to let himself relax, but now it's fine.

The emperor has been going to the harem frequently these days, and all the concubines are vying for favor. Those who have sons do not want the emperor to have several sons at his age, while those without children want to conceive as soon as possible. There is nothing that can do it. There is nothing better than having children by your side, making you more comfortable with food and clothing for the rest of your life.

Before the middle of the twelfth lunar month, all the radishes in the Zhou family's grape fields must be harvested. The radish cycle is short, and it only takes more than three months. The radishes can be collected just in time before the snow.

After the radishes were harvested, the Zhou family was busy again, but fortunately there were more servants in the family now, so there was no need to recruit additional people.

However, as a result, the number of servants in the Prince's Mansion in Kyoto became less and less. In the end, there were only a few sweepers and bodyguards who acted as facades. Everyone else, regardless of gender, old or young, came to Jinjia Village.

This group of servants heard that they would have to wash, cut, pickle, and dry radish leaves in the coming days. At the beginning, these servants didn’t really pay attention. Isn’t it just cutting and washing radishes? Who do these jobs? If you don’t know how to do it, everyone can do it.

But when they heard from the first batch of servants that there were more than four hundred acres of radishes waiting for them to harvest, their legs began to weaken before they even started working.

But this was something ordered by the king, and they had to do it. Fortunately, after a few days of doing it, they got used to it, and they didn't have as many problems as they did at the beginning.

The most important thing is that the prince's family really doesn't treat their servants poorly with food. They eat three meals a day every day, and every meal has meat. It's not the kind with some minced meat in the dishes, but big meat every meal. .

Everyone's mouth was full of oil after eating, and they became more and more energetic when working.

You must know that because the Zhou family is making bacon, there is no shortage of all kinds of bits and pieces of meat. In the past, these meats were not easy to deal with, and most of them ended up in the mouths of Erhu Niang and others.

But the mother-in-law alone couldn't finish the food, and the rest was sold to the villagers in the village at a low price.

But now it's better. With so many servants in the family, even if they eat meat every meal, their family is not afraid.

Although the task of cutting and washing radishes sounds simple, the Zhou family has more than 400 acres of grape fields to harvest radishes. This work lasted more than ten days. By the time they finished in a hurry, it was already the middle of the twelfth lunar month. It started to snow for the first time this year in Kyoto City.

Snowflakes were falling, and Zhou Yu's hands, which were red from the cold, were holding a cup of hot spring tea, sitting in front of the window and drinking it.

The past few days have really tired him out. Regardless of his current status as the county master, when the family gets really busy, who is the county master and his servants? Pickle all these radishes before a snowfall, otherwise it will be difficult to cook when it snows.

It's snowing, and the happiest people in the village are the servants of the Prince's Mansion. When it snows, the Prince's family won't work so hard, and they can have a good rest. This period of time will make them tired.

After it snowed, Zhou Yu was even more reluctant to go out. He stayed at home and warmed himself by the fire all day long, or he would lie in bed and read a book, but he just didn't want to go out.

The couple also had some free time. Because the family was so busy in the past few days, Mrs. Lian did not go to the workshop anymore, but went home to help.

Originally, Mrs. Lian planned to go back to the workshop the next day after finishing her work, but this time Zhou Yu refused to agree to anything and insisted that Mrs. Lian stay at home to rest for a few days.

Mrs. Lian couldn't resist her daughter, so she agreed.

That day, Zhou Yu was warming himself by the fire in the house. Qinglin came to the door. This time he came to give Zhou Yu a gift on behalf of his master.

Zhou Yu met Qing Lin and opened the box he brought. There was actually a set of lake blue clothes inside.

"County Princess..., my master said, this is for the Princess to prepare for the New Year's Eve palace banquet."

Along with the clothes came a set of jewelry. "County Master, my master drew the drawings himself and went to the shop to order them himself. They are unique in the world."

Qing Lin spoke very thoroughly, but when Zhou Yu looked at the clothes and matching head and face jewelry he brought, he was not interested at all.

She was so busy the past few days that she didn't think of that dream, but today Qinglin came over, and when she saw Qinglin, she remembered the dream she had had a few days ago, and she was a little prejudiced against Yu Zheng.

But since the clothes were sent to her, she would definitely take them, and don't want them for free.

"Go back and thank your master for me."

Qinglin didn't get the answer he wanted and left disappointed. If the county chief could tell him that he would wear this outfit to a banquet on the 30th, it would be easier for him to do business when he goes back.

But the county master didn't say whether she would wear it that night. How could he tell his master when he went back?

When Qinglin returned to Yu Mansion, Yu Zheng was not surprised when he heard Zhou Yu's reaction. Anyway, Zhou Yu has always been like this to him, and he is used to it.

In fact, the Zhou family also attaches great importance to the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, because this is their first time to attend the palace banquet, so everyone in the family has made clothes.

However, because the family was too busy, they just measured the size and sent it to the best embroidery workshop in Kyoto City. After telling them the occasion for wearing it, they left it to their own devices, and the Zhou family didn't care.

On the third day after Yu Zheng sent the clothes, the family's custom-made clothes also arrived.

The clothes were good-looking, but Zhou Yu still felt they were incomparable to the ones Yu Zheng sent.

After putting away the dress she made at home, Ye'er was very sensible and didn't ask her girl which one she would wear that day.

On the twenty-eighth day of the new year, a man and a woman came to the Zhou family. On this day, the whole family went to Kyoto City to buy new year goods.

When Zhou Yu returned home in the afternoon, he saw Wang Gang and Bai Mo waiting in the yard.

Seeing the weather-beaten looks of the two of them, Zhou Yu couldn't help but blush.

When Wang Gang and Bai Mo saw the Zhou family, especially Zhou Yu, they quickly took a few steps forward. He kowtowed three times to the whole family.

If it hadn't been for the girl that day, the two of them would have died long ago, and the general's revenge had been avenged, so they would have no regrets.

"Get up, the ground is cold."

Zhou Yu knew that they would not feel at ease if these three people kowtowed, so after the three of them kowtowed, she went up to help him up.

"It's good to come back. You won't leave again, right?"

"If you don't leave, we will stay with the girl to protect the girl and the master and his wife."

The two of them had no information in the army, and they didn't bother to inquire when they came back, so they still don't know that the Zhou family has become relatives of the emperor.
