Chapter 628 Appreciating the Snow
In the cold winter season, eating hot hot pot and sweating, such a beautiful thing is naturally pleasant.

Everyone had almost eaten, so they started to slow down, chatting with each other.

This year can be said to be the happiest New Year that Shangguan Qiuyu and Shangguan Xiong have ever had.

Because Shangguan Qiuyu was an orphan in his previous life, he basically spent the Chinese New Year alone, so he seldom tried the Chinese New Year.

And because Shangguan Qiuyu's cheap father left home, Shangguanxiong has not enjoyed the taste of family reunion for more than ten years.

Although Nangong Shiluo and Nangong Muxue were unable to reunite with their parents because of the Chinese New Year, they were somewhat regretful.

However, because of the presence of Shangguan Qiuyu and the charm of hot pot, the second daughter did not bring such emotions to the table.

Apart from Shangguan Qiuyu and the others, none was the happiest and busiest among them than the servants in the mansion.

These days, because of the hot pot, the servants of the Duke's Mansion have been quite busy.

Shangguan Qiuyu saw that everyone was too busy, so he sent someone to recruit all the craftsmen, large and small, from Yucheng.

Shangguan Qiuyu produced the map and handed it over to them to create. The interests of both parties are shared equally, and everyone who has money can earn together.

In this way, the fire boiler was naturally built very quickly, and it was popularized to thousands of households in the city in a short time.

Although the work of building the stove has been handed over, the workload of the servants has not decreased in the slightest.

Whether hot pot is popular or not ultimately depends on the hot pot base material. Without a good hot pot base material, no matter how beautiful the stove is, it is useless.

Although the recipe for hot pot base is simple, it can't stop the demand in Yucheng.

A group of servants who originally only needed to serve food and drink for a group of soldiers in the government were directly pulled by Shangguan Qiuyu to work overtime to prepare the hot pot base.

As Yucheng's imperial city, all kinds of materials are piled up like a mountain, and there are only a few hot pot bottom materials that can be gathered together.

It's just that the lack of manpower has become a big problem, which forced Shangguan Qiuyu to bring in a group of soldiers from his own mansion to help.

Of course, this was only because it was too late to make such a bad move.

After a few days of stability, the steward of the mansion had already summoned all the servants from outside the city.

I found a relatively free and large workshop in the city, but the workshop that made the hot pot bottom material moved out of the Duke's Mansion.

After all, the Duke's Mansion is not a workshop, but it cannot be used as a workshop for a long time.

Because after all, the impact is not good, maybe everyone likes this thing at first.Satisfy your appetite during the Chinese New Year.

With short hands and short mouths, everyone will definitely not say anything in a short time.

But once the craze is over, everyone will pay attention to these details. Although Shangguan Qiuyu likes money, the face of the Duke's Mansion still needs to be maintained.

In this way, the Duke's Mansion, which had been noisy for a few days, regained its calm again.

There is a saying that when the top moves his mouth, the bottom runs and breaks his legs, but Shangguan Qiuyu's movement of his mouth keeps all the servants in charge of the mansion busy without touching the ground.

Although everyone is busy, they are full of energy.

There is no other reason, but because everyone earns something for their work. Although they are busy, the rewards are exactly the same.

Shangguan Qiuyu's generosity made them not dare to neglect the tasks assigned to them, and each of them worked hard to repay the gift of their young master.

As a result, the Shangguan family, which had been silent for more than ten years, was revived like stagnant water.

While chatting, Shangguan Xiong suddenly said to Shangguan Qiuyu:

"Yu'er, there is an order from the palace that you need to enter the palace in two days."

"Entering the palace?" Shangguan Qiuyu was a little puzzled. Originally, he planned to go to the National Academy with Nangong Muxue in two days.

Because the National Academy does not participate in any affairs of the DPRK and China, it has little contact with officials of the DPRK and China.

For this reason, Shangguan Qiuyu could only rely on the prestige of the Shangguan family to go to the National Academy in person, hoping to enter the National Academy through self-recommendation.

There is no way, although the National Academy allows people to go through the back door, but that can only be done when enrolling students.

Entering halfway like Shangguan Qiuyu would obviously have a bad influence on the National Academy.

Therefore, if you want to enter the National Academy halfway, you need to have enough talent to impress the teachers and students of the National Academy.

Of course, Shangguan Qiuyu is now on the list of the National Academy, as long as he wants to go in, it is only a matter of words.

However, every place has its rules, and there are no rules without rules. Shangguan Qiuyu had to pass a series of assessments before entering the National Academy.

These assessments may seem unnecessary, but they are necessary, because only in this way can the teachers and students of the National Academy have a general understanding of Shangguan Qiuyu.

After all, hearing is believing, and seeing is believing, so that the mouths of those students who have grievances can be silenced.

Seeing his grandson's puzzled face, Shangguan Xiong was speechless. The other party was able to forget such an important matter.

He didn't know what to say, but when he returned to the mansion, he told him about the benefits of Yulongchi.

At the beginning, Shangguan Qiuyu was also very happy when he heard it, but he forgot because he was too busy these days.

Seeing the speechless look on his cheap grandfather's face, Shangguan Qiuyu suddenly realized, and then he grinned awkwardly and said:

"Grandpa, don't be angry, isn't grandson too busy these two days to forget?"

Shangguan Xiong shook his head and didn't care, he knew what kind of person his grandson was.

So, remind him:

"The Dragon Bathing Pool is only opened once a year, and after two days, you will enter together with a few children of the royal family.

There are many rules in the palace, you should pay attention, you are not allowed to go in these two days, stay honestly in the mansion and learn the rules in the palace, so as not to accidentally get into big trouble. "

"Yes, grandson understands," Shangguan Qiuyu nodded in response.

On weekdays, Shangguan Qiuyu seemed a little out of tune on the surface, but when it came to serious matters, he was unambiguous.

Moreover, this appearance can only be seen by those who are close to them, but ordinary people do not have this blessing.

In this regard, Shangguan Xiong is also happy to see his grandson like this, the majesty is for outsiders and his subordinates to see.

For my own family, it's better to order casually.

However, there are some things that should be paid attention to. The imperial palace is not an ordinary place, and Shangguan Xiong naturally does not want his grandson to be caught in some details.

Although it is clear that the ministers of the DPRK and China seldom trouble the Shangguan family, this does not mean that the Shangguan family has no political enemies.

Some people can't fight on the surface, but they keep making small moves secretly.

Especially this time when Lord Zhen Guo purged a group of lieutenant generals, many of them were implicated. These people did not dare to speak out, but they held a lot of grudges in their hearts.

Shangguan Qiuyu was also aware of this. After all, the Dayu Dynasty had been passed down for thousands of years, and there were countless rules accumulated from generation to generation.
