Yang Xun had other things to do this trip, so he stayed, Su Shuqing found an officer and sent Li Qingwen and the others out of the inner city.

Before leaving, Su Shuqing told Li Qingwen that Su Haoyuan might bother him for a while, and Li Qingwen nodded repeatedly.

When the carriage carrying Li Qingwen and the others left, Su Shuqing turned around and hurried back to work.

At this time, Yang Xun no longer had the serious appearance just now, leaning against Yu Shilang, waiting for the documents requested by the Ministry of Punishment, while looking at the warehouse, he said: "Shi Bo, why did you move here?"

"Isn't it forced by these people asking for money..." Yu Shilang said with a bitter face: "I didn't dare to go home for two months. A group of people gathered around asking for money, so I had to find a way to hide my ears." .”

Although Yu Shilang has a high official position, his family background is worse than that of the Yang family. Yang Xun called him uncle, but he couldn't call him nephew.

Yang Xun smiled, "Wait a little longer, there should be money in the warehouse soon."

Yu Shilang understood, lowered his voice and said: "Your Ministry of Punishment is going to ransack your house?"

Yang Xun just smiled and responded, but the expression on his face didn't need to be asked.

The new emperor is a man of means. The previous emperor had many sons, a prince who was established early, and several princes with powerful wives and uncles. Sooner or later, the accounts of Qiuhou have to be settled.

Yu Shilang was not as well-informed as Yang Xun, and was wondering if the wind would blow to him, when he heard Yang Xun ask: "Shi Bo, I came to ask about the Hongzhou case last year, and your household department didn't let go. Just open the net?"

Yu Shilang sighed and said: "When you asked, the pressure on the top was so severe that we gritted our teeth and had to hold on, now..."

Now those people in the royal family can't protect themselves, and no one can care about this anymore.

"Do you know the background of those soldiers?"

When Yang Xun heard this, he raised his eyebrows. When the teacher came to him, he didn't say these things.

"Bachelor Yang, the prefect of Zhu and General Qu have been asking about this case, you should know about it." Yu Shilang said: "The governor of Hongzhou and the former governor of the military, Du Jiqing and Du Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Industry, Zhou Fengnian and Zhou Shen General, General Biancheng Lin, and Master Hong Yihong are also inquiring about this matter."

The two governors of Hongzhou were concerned about the case of the government soldiers under their jurisdiction. Zhou Fengnian and Lin Tan were in charge of the exiles in the border town. It made sense for them to inquire, but the other two...

Hearing the last name, Yang Xun looked surprised, "Hongyi?"

Hongyi is the commander of the imperial army, the new emperor's nephew, and a knife covered in blood. He doesn't think this person has anything to do with Hongzhou soldiers.

Hearing these two words, Yu Shilang's head started to hurt. The commander of the imperial army has not long since taken office, and he has many lives in his hands.

Yang Xun frowned and was speechless for a long time. He didn't have much contact with Hongyi, and he only knew that this person never did anything irrelevant. So why did he care about this case?

On that side, when Li Qingwen and Li Qingrui arrived home, more than 2 taels of silver were exchanged for a thin piece of paper, and the two brothers couldn't hide their smiles.

For this reason, everyone in the family didn't go out to work in the restaurant, and just waited at the door and in the room. Looking at Li Qingwen's face, he knew that the matter was over.

Li Qingzhuo looked at the document carefully and asked Li Qingwen to keep it carefully.

The thoughts of these years finally came to fruition, and everyone's mouths couldn't keep their mouths closed, but they stayed in the capital for too long, and they should go back after a while.

Of course, the restaurant still has to be busy for a few days before going back.

After more than a month of decorating, the restaurant has almost been tidied up. The outside has been scrubbed and cleaned, and the thin window paper has been replaced. There were originally two rows of flower pots under the windows, but I dare not do these during the funeral. Now those flower pots are at old man Du's house.

Before they were allowed to go out, Li Qingrui and the others went to the old man Du's house, which was just a few doors away from the small courtyard where they lived. His house was very big, but there was no place to stay. There were shelves everywhere, and the shelves were full of flower pots.

Growing flowers is the only hobby of old man Du, the other is eating.

These flowers are not very expensive, most of them are common. Old man Du waited on him like a baby. During the Chinese New Year, he climbed the wall and went home to check these flowers every day. Afraid that he would fall, Li Qingrui followed him back a few times .

In the empty room of the small building, there are neat tables, chairs and benches. The brown wood looks stable and dirt-resistant. The kitchen at the back is connected with the sundry room, and several stoves have been added. It takes a lot of time to cook sheep and scorpions. , The pot can only be prepared more, not less.

The second floor is also similarly arranged, with tall screens still used to separate places of suitable size, and two walls were built at the corner to cut out a room, where Li Qinghong and the others slept.

After Fang followed Li Qingwen and the others to the north, and Li Qingzhuo was preparing for the exam in two months, the yard on the Wisteria Alley might be withdrawn.

Li Qingwen put more thought into this room than anyone else. He felt that the place to sleep must be comfortable, and only when he sleeps well can he work energetically.

Therefore, others said to use wooden boards to divide it, but he refused. Not only did he hire craftsmen to build it out, but he also forced a large circle outside.

The space occupied by this room can accommodate several tables, but Li Qingshun and the others felt very distressed, as if they saw that the customers had no place to sit, and the shop lost a lot of money in vain.

Not only that, Li Qingwen also asked the carpenter to build a double-layer solid wood bed. The upper and lower layers are very spacious and strong, and two grown men can lie down and turn over without shaking.

This house costs a lot of money, because the money is in his hands and no one else can control it.

Of course, what Li Qingwen said made sense, he said: "Third Brother, Brother Qingjiu, it's not easy for you to live far away from home in the capital. In such a big shop, you must work hard. Eat well and sleep well. Work hard."

The sheep scorpion hot pot must be kept on fire. There is a stove under each table, and the mouth of the stove is facing the iron pot above. Li Qingwen is very satisfied when he sees the iron pots he bought.

He has been busy for more than three years, and now he still has to use clay pots to cook and stir-fry. He has a strong desire for the convenient big iron pot, and he feels elated just looking at it.

Li Qingrui was busy with the layout of the two-storey buildings. Li Qinghong dealt with the vegetable and sheep sellers in the nearby square market every day.

For sheep and scorpion hot pot, sheep is the most important thing. There is a cattle and sheep market a few miles away from here. Many of them have been in the cattle and sheep business for generations in the square market. The most important reputation is brought by old man Du. , They will not bully Li Qinghong, a young man who has just arrived.

The new shop cannot be opened during the funeral, and Li Qingwen and the others will not wait for a few more months, preparing to warm up the pot and stove in advance.

There is a custom of hot pot when moving in Bingzhou. Neighbors, relatives and friends are invited to have a meal in the new home, which is lively and lively.

This is also popular here in the capital. Before the new shop opens, the neighbors in the neighborhood are invited to eat and drink, hoping that the neighbors will patronize and take care of the business in the future.

After choosing a date, Li Qinghong and others specially changed into new clothes, and went door to door to invite people and neighbors to show their respect.

Li Qingrui went to the Forbidden Army Yamen to inquire about how the prisoner's interrogation was going and when Li Qingzhuo would be able to leave the house. Now, he didn't want to delay reading at home, but the academy was about to open, and the exam was due in two months. These two things couldn't be delayed.

Li Qingwen had just finished counting the seasonings when Su Dazhong and Su Haoyuan, master and servant, came. Now that he knew, he couldn't call this baby Su Haoyuan, he had to call him Yuanbao, or he thought he was calling someone else.

Su Yuanbao threw himself on Li Qingwen, but as soon as he hugged him, he started to sneeze one after another. His little head was dizzy from the shock, and he buried his face in front of Li Qingwen, rubbing his nose on Li Qingwen's clothes.

Li Qingwen hurried to wash his hands and change his clothes. Many spices had a pungent smell. He had been cooking for a long time, and his body smelled very strong.

After Li Qingwen cleaned it up, Su Yuanbao came up again, his red nose was still itchy, but he stopped sneezing.

Li Qingwen picked him up, and Su Dazhong wiped his young master's eyes and nose with a handkerchief with a distressed expression.

Su Shuqing helped a lot this time, and everyone knew that when they saw someone from the Su family, they immediately drove Li Qingwen out and asked him to play with the child.

Li Qingwen took Su Yuanbao to the shop, accompanied him, and bought other things at the same time.

Warming the pot the day after tomorrow, if there is no accident, they will leave the capital the day after tomorrow, the road is long and the water is long, so they can't miss anything that needs to be used.

When passing by a bow and arrow shop, Li Qingwen became cruel, emptied his pockets, and bought a heavy bow that was said to be made from the tendons of sea beasts and made of yew wood.

The storekeeper naturally felt that his own things were good everywhere. Li Qingwen had seen too many trees in the forest, including yew trees, but he didn't know how precious yew trees were in the store's mouth.

He thought that next time he would make a bow, he would get the wood and pay for it by hand, otherwise the money would not be able to withstand the burning.

Su Yuanbao was very curious about this big thing, but he couldn't hold it, his eyes kept wandering between Li Qingwen and the heavy bow.

Seeing his cute appearance, Li Qingwen's teeth felt a little itchy, but he didn't hold back, and opened his mouth to bite.

Li Qingwen rubbed a tender piece of his face with his teeth, and asked, "Does it look good?"

Su Yuanbao nodded with half of his face drooling, "My dad also has this, it's better looking than this one."

Li Qingwen probably guessed by now that Su Shuqing was not an ordinary official, and it was not unusual for his family to wield guns and arrows.

Li Qingzhuo still understood his younger brother very well. When he saw Li Qingwen's eyes were agitated and vacillating after he came back, he knew he had run out of money, so he took out the 20 taels of silver he had saved.

Li Qingwen said "hehe" twice and accepted half of it.

Kill sheep, chop sheep bones, prepare seasonings, try various sesame juices, prepare vegetables...

After two full days of busy work, it finally came to the day of warm pot.

At the instigation of old man Du, more than 20 tables came from the neighbors, and the upstairs and downstairs were almost full.
