Chapter 3110: Involuntarily
Little Qian quickly went to the kitchen to make them something to eat. Zheng was wandering around, and seeing her feet moving briskly and her face full of joy, she curiously approached her and went to the kitchen with her, asking, "Is there any good news?"
Xiao Qian was troubled, so she whispered in her ear, "...it's still young, so it's best not to spread it around. Just keep it to your family."
Zheng was about to become a grandmother and loved hearing about the birth of a new baby. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I won't tell anyone."
Zheng was very envious. The Zhou family was really prosperous, with new members being added almost every year.
Today Bai Shan and his companions were entertaining Governor Guo and others outside, so they would not be having dinner at home. The kitchen didn't buy many vegetables, so Xiao Qian took a quick look and simply cooked noodles for them.
The only difference is that Zhou Liwei's noodles are made with meat. A piece of meat is chopped up and fried, and some dried bamboo shoots are added to make saozi. After it is cooked, it is poured over the noodles.
Lan Xin had an egg beaten into her noodles. Remembering that Zhou Liwei said she wanted to eat light food, she added some more vegetables to her noodles.
Two bowls of noodles were brought over, and Lan Xin's eyes almost popped out. "Where can we get vegetables at this time of year?"
Qian Shi smiled and said, "Your uncle-in-law bought a mountain with a hot spring on it. He had people clear the land near the spring to grow vegetables. Even now, they can still grow vegetables. These vegetables were sent from there."
"It's just far away. They always send three days' supply." Remembering that they were at the seaside, even further away, he frowned and said, "Why don't Li Wei's wife stay in the county? I can take care of her. You...are not feeling well now, and going to Dajiawa would be a pain."
Lan Xin hesitated and looked at Zhou Liwei.
Zhou Liwei said to her directly, "Yes, you should stay in the county. It's so windy and cold at the beach right now. You and I will suffer there too much. And you're also very reactive. There's nothing but fish and pickles there, and you don't like to eat any of them. Look at you, you've lost weight in such a short time."
"Then how will you eat and wear clothes when you're alone there?"
Zhou Liwei said nonchalantly, "I'm just eating from the same big pot with them. How could they let me starve? Don't worry, doing laundry won't be a problem for me."
"Yes, yes, life in Dajiawa is too hard," Xiao Qian persuaded, "You are not feeling well now, I can take care of you if you stay in the county."
Zhou Liwei smiled and thanked Xiao Qian, "Thank you, auntie."
"Alright, we're a family, why bother being polite? Let's eat quickly. By the time you're done, Manbao and the others will have almost picked up their people."
Needless to say, Xiao Qian's cooking skills were excellent. Both of them ate up all the noodles and even drank up the soup.
Seeing that Lan Xin had such a good appetite, Zhou Liwei made up his mind to keep her in the county.
Before, when she was in Dajiawa, not to mention vomiting while cooking or eating, sometimes she would just go to find him, and when she passed by the downwind vent where the cooking was done, she would just breathe in a little bit of the smell and would retch for a long time.
Bai Shan and Zhou Man met Governor Guo and others at the Ten-Li Pavilion.
Governor Guo gave Bai Shan a lot of face. He not only brought Lu County Magistrate, but also brought several free county magistrates, as well as some gentry and merchants from Qingzhou City. He brought them all with him, hoping that they could see the prospects of Longchi Wharf and allow more people and goods to go out through Longchi Wharf.
Bai Shan's eyes widened when he saw the large group of people that Governor Guo had brought with him. He went to greet them with a look of joy. Zhou Man followed beside him, also smiling, but he lowered his voice and asked, almost without moving his mouth, "With so many people, have arrangements been made at Longchi?"
Bai Shan kept smiling as he walked, whispering, "Don't worry, I sent Mr. Cui and County Magistrate Fang over there half a month ago. If there are still any problems, I will replace the County Magistrate and his staff."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them walked to the side of the road and stood in front of Governor Guo's carriage.
Governor Guo got off the carriage and greeted Zhou Man first. Then he looked at Bai Shan, waved his hand to brush away the dust in the air, and said, "Let's go into the city first."
Bai Shan smiled even more widely, bowed and replied "yes", asked them to let their carriage go first, stood by the roadside and greeted the passing horses and the passengers in the carriages, his face almost frozen with smile.
But this is not the biggest challenge; the dust raised by the passing carriages is.
After Bai Shan and the others left, he waved his hand in the air and said to County Lieutenant Dong behind him, "Sprinkle more water next time. Don't be stingy with water. How can our Beihai County still be short of water?"
County Magistrate Dong nodded in shame. He hadn't expected so many carriages and horses to arrive. However, the amount of water sprinkled was a bit small...
Zhou Man had retreated to the edge of the woods long ago. She was better off than Bai Shan, who was covered in dust. She walked forward with a handkerchief covering her face and patted his hair. Seeing the flying dust, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Bai Shan didn't understand what was so funny about this. He glanced at her and supported her, "Let's go back to the county first."
Bai Shan booked a restaurant in the county town. Although there were unexpectedly many people coming, he could ask several nearby restaurants for help and was not afraid of neglecting these customers.
It's just that he looked a little embarrassed at the moment, so Bai Shan got into the car, washed his face and hands in the shaking car, wiped his hair, and changed his clothes, only then did he feel relieved.
Fortunately, he brought an extra set of clothes when he went out today.
Bai Shan followed the team to the restaurant.
When Governor Guo, who had just gotten off the car, looked up, he saw Bai Shan, who had changed his clothes. He said: ...
Governor Guo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Well, he had been away from the capital for too long and almost forgot about these etiquettes. But he didn't expect that Bai Shan was so particular about them here.
Bai Shan, smiling broadly, invited everyone into the restaurant. After they were seated at tables, the food was served. He and Governor Guo said jokingly, "Your Excellency has had a long journey. Let's eat here first and then go to Longchi."
Governor Guo asked, "Are your Highness the Princess and her husband also going to the Dragon Pond?"
Bai Shan smiled and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess and her husband have already gone to Longchi."
Upon hearing this, Governor Guo nodded in satisfaction.
Mingda didn't want to socialize, but he wanted to see the excitement of the launch, so he went to Longchi with Bai Erlang early this morning.
Yin Huo went along with them, too lazy to stay and meet so many officials.
In fact, Bai Shan wanted Zhou Man to go with her so that she wouldn't be too tired, but after thinking about the medical department, she decided not to go and stayed with Bai Shan.
Her reaction to this is, "I have no control over what I do when I grow up. It turns out that the words that adults used to tempt us when we were young were all lies."
Bai Shan nodded in agreement.
They felt that they had no choice, but in the eyes of everyone, this was a great achievement for the two of them. Apart from anything else, the fact that Governor Guo personally brought people to support them was not an ordinary treatment, and he also brought so many people.
When they arrived at Longchi, they saw the governor and his men coming from neighboring Laizhou, and everyone looked at Bai Shan with envy and jealousy.
People are different, and county magistrates are even more so. When they saw the princess and her husband again, they couldn't even feel jealous.
See you at 11pm
