Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 574 Birthday
After dinner, under the threat of Liu Runiang's eyes, Zuo Fu had no choice but to send a certain uncle to the door.

"Come to my house tomorrow to play?"

Sun Xuntang suddenly said: "You can't just immerse yourself in official duties all day long, you have to learn to relax."

"Are you sure I'm going to your house to relax?"

Zuo Fu recounted what happened at the Queen's place today, and said again: "I'm afraid your mother will tear my heart apart now, so I'd better not go looking for trouble."

"Oh, with me here, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid, I'm just too troublesome."

Zuo Fu shook his head, "I'm tired of fighting with people."

"But you must come tomorrow."

He raised his eyebrows, "Tomorrow is my mother's birthday."

"Your mother's birthday?"

Zuo Fu was stunned for a moment, "Is it your biological mother's birthday?"

After thinking about it for a while, the taste came out.

She hooked her lips and smiled meaningfully, "What is Hou Ye going to do?"

Sun Xunting pursed his lips and said, "I don't want to do anything, I just want you to come tomorrow."

Zuo Fu saw that although his expression was normal, but the depths of his eyes were full of loneliness, she thought for a while and said: "I will come over tomorrow morning after I have arranged the affairs of the yamen."

"Then you have to bring a present."

He pursed his lips, "If you don't bring a gift, I won't be happy."

"Hey, you're the only one who can be polite to someone face to face. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know etiquette. I'll take care of preparing a surprise gift for you!"

"Then it's settled. It will start tomorrow morning, but you have something to do in the yamen, so you can just come before the banquet."

As he spoke, he took out an invitation card, "Here, here is the invitation card. I gave it to your mother too, but your mother refused, saying that it would be fine to let you represent it. However, your father seemed a little unhappy, apparently I want to come, you go back and talk to your mother, let your father come to have fun."

"Farewell, you have to drink in such a scene. My father's health is not as good as before, so let's forget about the entertainment. However, the gift will be added to you."

She was grinning, and his brows and eyes were full of joy from the heart, and he said softly, "I'm happy if you can come."

"Then go back early."

Zuo Fu waved his hand, "See you tomorrow."

"Well, you should also go to bed early, so don't read until late."

"Know it!"

The two said goodbye, and Zuo Fu watched the carriage disappear into the dark night before turning around and going home.

As soon as she got home, Liu Runiang came up to her, "Are you going tomorrow?"

"Mother, why didn't you tell me that he was going to celebrate his biological mother's birthday?"

"I didn't know he came today. No, I forgot to prepare dinner just now."

Liu Ru Niang patted Zuo Fu as she spoke, and said, "Don't worry, my son. When I was cooking dinner, my mother asked someone to go to the shop to pick out gifts, and they were all wrapped up. You can take them with you tomorrow."

As she spoke, she clapped her hands, and a group of maidservants spread out and brought out a bunch of things.Zuo Fu was dumbfounded when he saw it, and exclaimed: "So many?! Mother, have you emptied out Grandpa's shop?! This, isn't this something from Huimin Supermarket?! Mother, you don't know His birth mother has already..."

"Know, know."

Liu Runiang smiled and said, "I knew what the child was thinking as soon as he opened his mouth. In fact, why does he want us to go? He only wants you to go. This is treating you as one of his own."

After a pause, he continued: "Since we are our own people, we should also help support the situation. Isn't Mrs. Bai arrogant? Hmph, if you are bullying you with your partner, mother, if you don't embarrass her, how can you stay in the capital in the future?" Walk around? Besides, the child wants you to celebrate his mother's birthday with him, which means a lot..."

Liu Runiang smiled ambiguously, Zuo Fu couldn't help but blushed, and couldn't help saying: "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Yo? Are you blushing? My daughter is still blushing?! Mother, father, husband, come and see, our daughter is blushing!"

"Mom, I'm not a monkey."

Zuo Fu stared at the sky speechlessly, "I washed and went to bed."

"So early?"

"I have to go back to the yamen for work early tomorrow morning."

"Then mother will help you wrap these up, and ask Zuo Da to deliver them to you tomorrow morning."

"Hey, thank you mother."

After a night of nothing, Zuo Fu woke up on time as soon as the sun was shining on the second day. After washing up, he shared breakfast with his family and went to the yamen.

When I arrived at the Yamen, I didn't do anything first.Instead, I opened the TB with my mind, searched on it for a while, and then chose a gold leaf painting of Song Ling He Shou on Taobao as a gift.

Good things come in pairs, although Sun Xunting's biological mother is gone, but he can't go there with one thing.So she chose another birthday noodle gift box.The whole noodles are continuous and placed in the box, just like a Chinese character for longevity. The things are not expensive, but they are expensive because they are innovative.

I prepared the gifts and bought packaging and other things on Taobao.In her previous life, when the materials were still relatively poor, she made roses, pirate ships, wind chimes and other things for her classmates, and the packaging was all packaged by herself, so she is familiar with the way of making it now, but it’s not a problem. No trouble.

The wrapping paper is also selected in retro style. The pattern of hot stamping on the red background looks festive. After wrapping, tie a ribbon, which is both beautiful and easy to extract.

After finishing all this, Zuo Fu took a sip of tea, and then began to deal with the official duties of the day.

As long as you want to do work, you can never finish it, especially when you first arrive at a place.Every time I change places, the first two years will be extremely hard, and there will always be endless work.

Being an official in Nanjing is no different than being an official in the local area. There are more departments to deal with. Although he is the prefect, it sounds like he is the largest local official in Nanjing, but he is at the feet of the emperor. It is still a little different from "covering the sky with one hand" in Qiongzhou, Changzhou .

In order to deal with various departments, she expends far more energy than in other places.Fortunately, the bucket of foot-washing water was not in vain. There are many courtiers among these officials, and they are much better at doing things now than when they first came here.

After reviewing the recent work arrangements, he notified the big and small leaders of the yamen to come to the meeting.

Everyone is used to this boss's behavior of holding meetings and discussing every now and then, even a little bit addicted.

This man is not as arrogant as in the legend at all. Not only is he not arrogant, but he is also a virtuous corporal. He always asks everyone for their opinions on various issues.After more than half a year, they gradually felt that although this boss was their boss in name, they got along just like they did with their classmates when they were studying. They were very comfortable and didn't have to worry about saying the wrong thing.

Everyone likes such an enlightened boss. Although the work is more tiring than before, and all kinds of gray income are gone, life is much better than before.First, the boss is willing to take responsibility and let them try. Second, the boss specially applied for a part of the money to subsidize the officials' households.

The above seemed reasonable, and the money came from the Yamen, so he agreed without much resistance.

This may not be as good as before, but it is solid, and there are actually a lot of subsidies, and there are many other benefits.

Like the things produced in the official fields, their adults will also share some with them. In this way, it is more than enough to support a large family plus the imperial salary.

They didn't dare to play tricks in front of this female devil, and they would talk about corruption every time they held a meeting. If they were caught by her, they would not dare to think about the consequences.

After all, who even dared to beat the head of the country, who would dare to easily commit crimes in her hands?
After a meeting to arrange the recent work, Zuo Fu left the Yamen.

Can't really step on the spot to rub the rice?Since you promised him to go, you have to be a little sincere, right?He took the gift with him, got into the carriage and soon arrived at Sun Xuntang's house.

In fact, Sun Xunyu's family is not far from Sanshan Street where Zuo Fu's family lived, in the old city of Song Dynasty at the confluence of Qinhuai River and Yangtze River.

In fact, this is not surprising. Nanjing was originally the capital of Ming Dynasty, and basically all the dignitaries lived in this area.Firstly, this is an important area outside the city, and secondly, it is close to the imperial city, so it is more convenient for officials to go to work in the morning.

Therefore, not only Sun Xunting's house is close to hers, but Xu Han's, Zhang Jingxuan's and others' homes are also nearby.How else can the nobles in the capital have no secrets?A quarrel at home can immediately spread to the entire noble circle, after all, the homes are too close, they are neighbors!
Zuo Fu's car is a four-wheeled car, which she brought from Qiongzhou, and was directly customized from Taobao. It is not only spacious inside, but also comfortable to sit on.Zuofer has launched four-wheeled vehicles for a long time, and many people will also buy them from Changzhou, but there is only one vehicle like Zuofu made with modern technology in Ming Dynasty.

Made of traffic-friendly metal, although it is painted with black paint, it does not feel oppressive.Inlaid with large pieces of glass, the simple design reflects the taste, just like Zuofer, direct and simple.

The appearance of such a car in the Marquis of Anshun immediately aroused the prying eyes of the servants of the neighbors.This car belonged to Zuo Fu, and everyone in Nanjing knew it.But since the holidays are not in the New Year, this person coming here at this time is considered an official visit?Look, there are gifts.

Shun Yan has been waiting here for a long time, when he saw Zuo Fu coming, he immediately went up to greet him, and said happily: "Master Guo, you are here, our Lord has been waiting for you for a long time."

While talking, he took the gift from Zuo Fu, and then he was dumbfounded.Seeing Zuo Fu's servants going up and down, and carrying many gifts from the carriage one after another, Zuo Fu also felt a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "My parents can't attend, they asked me to bring them."

Shun Yan opened his mouth, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Madam and Your Excellency are too polite, no other guests are invited to the banquet today, the Lord only invited you."

Zuo Fu was a little surprised.

She originally thought that Sun Xunzhen wanted to celebrate Bai's mother's birthday by celebrating her birth mother's birthday, but now it seems...

It seems that I have misunderstood myself?

With doubts, he followed Shunyan into the Hou Mansion.After walking for a while, we arrived at the Flower Hall, which was already full of people.

Zuo Fu was a little surprised, didn't he say that no one else was invited?Then why are there so many people?
As if to solve Zuo Fu's doubts, he whispered softly: "Master, don't be surprised, we have a lot of people. Although the two sons are gone, our old man has nine sons and twelve daughters in total. Now girls They are all married, but today the master held a birthday for Aunt Zhao, so they all came back with their sons-in-law and children. Apart from these people, there are other masters in several rooms. Our wife also gave birth to nine sons and seven girls. Now Those who are still alive today have brought their whole family over here."

Zuo Fuxuan couldn't hold back his anger!
Their family members are pigs?Are they so capable?

Then he realized in a daze: I seem to know too little about him?He actually has so many brothers and sisters?

"Duke Zhen is here!"

Shunyan arrived in front of the flower hall, sank into his dantian, held the gift list received from Chunya in his hand, and began to chant.

"The Duke of Zhen sent a gold leaf painting of Pine Age Crane and Longevity! A pendant of Longevity Noodles! Two boxes of Finch Powder! Six sticks of Fendai lip balm, two boxes of Fendai eye shadow, two boxes of rouge, and a pendant inlaid with gold and white jade Anping buckle ..."

The long gift list sang for a while, and the people inside gasped.

It is said that Mr. Zhen Guo is rich and can make many strange things, and he is even more talented in jewelry design.Three years ago, the jewelry she designed began to be shipped from Qiongzhou back to Nanjing to be sold at her grandparents' house, and every time a piece was sold, it would cause looting. Today, she gave away so many jewelry, what a great deal!

For a while, everyone focused their eyes on Sun Xunting, with envy and jealousy in their eyes.

What kind of shit luck did this libertine have? !
Obviously a bastard, the old uncle hated him the most when he was alive.Bad-tempered and cruel, he lingers in the flowers all day without talking, and sometimes even contradicts his aunt.But it just happened that shit was so lucky, the two sons-in-law died of illness one after another, and the old man also went before he could choose a successor in the future.

In the end, Mrs. Bai didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he had poured into her, but she used the pretext of "establishing a heir and an elder since ancient times" to put this person on the throne of the Patriarch in a daze.

They are all from their own family, and they are very clear about things in their own family.Where is it like the outside legend?Those words were released by Mrs. Bai, because after Sun Xuntang inherited the title, Mrs. Bai found out that he was just pretending, not a fool at all, but a man with a lot of scheming.

If you can't beat them, and they have gained a firm foothold, if you can't fight, you have to pour sewage.So this kid's shit luck is really not so good!A bastard who picked up the title for nothing, and now has the most powerful woman in the world to help him, how many good things did he do in his previous life? !

In the eyes of these relatives, Zuo Fu and Sun Xunting are in love with each other, so they feel that as long as this woman speaks to the emperor, she will definitely marry.But now that she hasn't married yet, she just supports this bastard like this. Although she doesn't look very good, but looking at her power and wealth, she is so jealous!

Sun Xuntang is wearing a smoky blue vertical collar today, with exquisite patterns embroidered on the beanie on the outer cover, his hair is all combed up, and a simple jade hairpin is passed through. The simple dress makes Zuo Fu feel He felt a little strange to himself today.

The usual cynicism was gone, and there was a bit more solemnity. As he walked, he felt a sense of majesty.

He saw her coming, and even went out of his official clothes and changed into women's clothes. He felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, and his nostalgia for his biological mother was also diluted because of the changes she made for him, and he felt a little happiness. Feelings linger in my heart, gradually welling up in my eyes, rippling like a spring breeze, making all the bystanders stunned.

This fierce person actually has such a tender side?
　Thank you for your rewards!Hey, but Jiageng can only wait for the annual vacation...
