After being divorced for three years, the bad husband brought his son to ask for forgiveness

Chapter 40 Madam Liu, long time no see
"Ma'am, we are here."

Doctor Liu walked in cheerfully and saw Yan Chaonian with a big smile on his face. "We heard from the general that you bought a house and can accommodate us, so we came here with audacity."

"I'm glad you're here, but this house is new and there are some imperfections. Please forgive me."

Several guards laughed and said that the house looked very grand. "It's much better than the inn we stayed in. It's not very convenient to talk in that inn. Madam, don't worry. We are all rough people. A bed and quilt are enough."

"The quilt will be delivered soon, and your yard has been cleaned up. It's just that we don't have enough manpower, so you have to do some things yourself."

"I will have someone take you to a resettlement place now. Have a good meal in the evening. There will be plenty of wine tonight."

When several bodyguards heard that there would be enough wine, their eyes lit up. Li Liang came running over to take them to their place. They were all acquaintances, and they laughed and pushed each other for a while before leaving.

The mansion suddenly became lively. The happiest person was Xiao Xun'er. He was hugged by one person and another, taken for a ride on a horse, and held high by another. His excited laughter never stopped.

"Is there someone living next door?"

At the Liu family, when Minister Liu returned to his house, he heard laughter coming from next door. The housekeeper told him that the family of Yuan Shoubei had arrived. "Yuan Shoubei moved in with his people. Madam Yuan from next door sent someone to our house to ask the clerk to help buy a cart of vegetables and meat, and also borrowed our cook to cook."

“It’s quite lively.”

After entering the house, Madam Liu talked about this matter again. Minister Liu sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip. He immediately said, "Did you buy new tea? This tea is good."

Madam Liu said that it was sent by the neighbor next door. "I came to borrow it, and I brought this tea with me. I said it was from my own tea garden. I taste it and it's refreshing and sweet."

Minister Liu sipped the tea on the first floor again and said with emotion, "The southwest is a good place. The brocade industry has been prosperous in the past two years. Many wealthy businessmen have their own mulberry and tea gardens. The Southwest Brocade Industry Bureau presented several pieces of brocade two days ago. I didn't see what it looked like, but I heard that it was extremely luxurious and the Empress Dowager praised it highly."

“Life is getting better for officials in the southwest, too.”

Madam Liu smiled and said, "So he's a wealthy businessman. That explains it. Madam Yuan came to the capital yesterday and spent 6,800 taels to stay in the courtyard next door. This afternoon, many merchants brought carts of goods in. I guess they spent a lot of money."

I feel a bit envious when I say this. I am afraid of comparison in life. Once I compare myself with others, I feel that my life is boring.

At this time, the Yuan Mansion had already set up its preparations. The Liu family's chef was quite skilled in making big pot dishes. The pot was full of braised pork bones, the meat was rich in aroma and the color was beautiful, making people drool when they smelled it.

The stewed mutton is even more mellow. The broth made by frying carp in oil is thick and white. The cooked mutton is sliced ​​and stir-fried, then added to the broth. It is very intoxicating after just one sip.

The two main dishes were cooked on a charcoal stove. The broth of the big marinated pork ribs was soaked with big radishes that had absorbed a lot of oil. It was refreshing and fragrant. The generals rubbed their hands happily, "Tonight's dishes are really good."

"Madam is here, so we can finally have a good meal."

Doctor Liu smiled and told everyone that the marrow of the braised pork ribs was the most fragrant, "It also nourishes the bones. You can poke it with chopsticks and suck it hard. Don't waste it."

When Yuan Shen came over with his son in his arms, the soldiers stood up and said, "The general is here."

"The young master is really strong."

"General, you were not at home when the young master was one month old. Did the young master eat meat?" Doctor Liu laughed and said, "You asked this question. The young master had already started eating chicken porridge and chicken legs. How can he eat meat? Hahaha~~~"

Xiao Xun'er cooperated with Doctor Liu very much. He stared at the pot of braised pork ribs with drool flowing from the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he was very greedy. Everyone started to joke again. Yuan Shen asked everyone to sit down. "We don't have so many rules. Everyone is tired these days. Eat more."

Li Liang carried the wine jar and helped everyone pour wine. The wine was good. The moment it was poured out, the generals' thirst for wine was aroused. Seeing that there were several large jars beside them, everyone felt at ease. After Yuan Shen brought the bowls, everyone couldn't wait to pick them up. Without waiting for Yuan Shen to speak, they hurriedly shouted, "General, cheers."

"Dry."

Yuan Shen laughed and said, "Fuck."

Xiao Xun'er, who was sitting next to Yuan Shen, was chewing on the pork ribs with soy sauce. Seeing that everyone was holding up their bowls, he also raised his own bowl of pork ribs with soy sauce and said, "Cheers."

"Hahahaha~~~"

The little prince is really a living treasure~
Yan Chaonian asked Manager Wu to lead the people from the inner and outer courtyards to eat together, "You have worked hard all the way to the capital, everyone should have a good meal. We still have a few days to go, and it will be fine once everything is in order."

Manager Wu went there happily, and Aunt Wu also went there with a few maids. Yan Chaonian had eaten something first and was now very sleepy.

I didn't feel very tired when I was on the road, and I was in good spirits on the day I arrived in the capital. But after a nap, I felt extremely tired. My legs were weak and my steps felt unsteady.

When he woke up, it was already the next morning. He felt like he was sleeping on cotton and didn't want to wake up at all. There was no one beside him, but he could see signs that someone had slept there. Shuiyun walked in with a smile and said that Yuan Shen and Xiao Xun'er had slept there last night, "This morning, the general still gave the young master the clothes to wear."

"The young master really likes the general. He ate with us last night and was not naughty. He laughed along with us."

"She was well behaved at night, and the general coaxed her to sleep. She was even better behaved in the morning, and she saw the general off and said goodbye. She is now cutting flowers in the garden."

Shuiyun was quite proud when she talked about her little master. "Last night, the generals all praised the little master for being brave, not afraid of strangers, and having a good appetite."

Yan Chaonian agreed with these compliments. Xiao Xun'er had indeed been very well behaved since he was born. "It's a pity that his father has to go to the war. It would be great if he could accompany him more often."

"It can't be helped. That's how military commanders are."

Shuiyun also felt sorry for his young master, and said that the pawnshop would send someone today, "We are short of a lot of people. Madam's courtyard is short of two little girls. I estimate that we need to select thirteen or fourteen people."

"It's not easy to find a chef. The chef Wang from the Liu family is really good at cooking. I gave him a pot of braised pork ribs yesterday after he worked hard for half a day. He said he would help introduce a chef to take charge of the cooking."

Yan Chaonian nodded, "Let's choose carefully today, I hope we can choose a few good ones."

As soon as we arrived at the front yard, Aunt Wu came over quickly and said, "Madam, Madam Liu from Minister Liu's house next door is here to visit."

"Please come in quickly."

Yan Chaonian smiled and walked towards the gate, ready to pick up Madam Liu in person. After taking a few steps, Madam Liu walked in with a smile. The moment she looked up and saw Yan Chaonian, she was stunned and blinked, her eyes full of surprise, "You..."

"Mrs. Liu, long time no see."
