Chapter 3172 Lively
Yin Huo was used to getting up early. He followed Zhou Man's instructions and rubbed his hands and feet to warm them up before getting up. After washing up, he went out for a walk.
As I walked, I habitually went to Bai Shan's yard, and saw two people sitting on the bench in the yard with confused looks on their faces, and there were some red marks on their faces.
He went in curiously, "What are you doing?"
The two of them looked up at him expressionlessly, their eyes dull. After a while, they said, "Oh, it's you. Are you up?"
Yin Or: "..."
He looked at the two of them carefully and saw that they were wearing clothes but still had their underwear on. He couldn't help but turn his head away and look at them. "Did you just wake up? Why don't you get dressed and wash up?"
Bai Shan yawned and put the cloak that fell on the ground on Zhou Man. Tears were about to fall. "Don't mention it. It's hard to explain. Let's go back and wash up first. See you at breakfast."
After saying that, he hugged Zhou Man and went back.
Zhou Man also waved tiredly to Yin Huo, and dragged himself back to the house with Bai Shan.
Yin Huo watched them return to the house, then looked down at the scattered wine glasses and wine jugs on the table, then at the two empty jars on the ground. He raised an eyebrow and said, "They really have the leisure to drink so late at night?"
Changshou, who was following behind him, said, "Young Master, Lord Bai and the others don't smell much of alcohol."
Yin Huo looked at Wu Yue who was packing up her things, and Wu Yue smiled and said, "It's my fourth uncle who's drinking, and our master and lady are accompanying him."
They wanted to wait for Zhou Silang to get drunk and then go back to sleep, but Zhou Silang was such a good drinker and never got drunk. In the end, the two of them couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on the table. Zhou Silang drank until dawn, then staggered back to have a good sleep. The two of them, who had been sleeping together for half the night, felt numb in their hands and feet and their expressions were numb.
"Why are you drinking so late at night?"
"Fourth uncle can't sleep."
The servants in the yard were not dead pigs. Besides, Wu Yue and Jiu Lan were sleeping in the ear room with Bai Jingxing. They were also awake when Bai Shan and Zhou Man just woke up and went out.
It was just a habit they had since childhood. They knew that Bai Shan and Zhou Man didn't like servants following them when they were doing things, so even though they woke up, they didn't go out to check.
It was only later when she smelled the alcohol that Jiulan got up to obey orders. So Jiulan had stayed up for half the night and had just returned to her room and was lying down.
But Jiulan can rest, but Zhou Man and Bai Shan cannot.
The two of them felt a little more refreshed after washing their faces with cold water, but by the time they had breakfast, their eyelids drooped again.
Bai Erlang kept looking up at them, "I heard you guys drank all night."
Zhou Man said weakly, "Who spread these rumors?"
Wu Yue brought Bai Jingxing up, and the little guy immediately opened his arms and asked for a hug as soon as he saw his parents.
Bai Shan reached out to take it and placed her on his knees. The servant immediately brought her egg custard.
Bai Shan took a spoon and scooped the egg custard and fed it to her.
This was the happiest moment of Bai Jingxing's day, so she leaned on her father's arms very obediently, and chewed the egg custard with her gums and swallowed it as soon as it entered her mouth.
Bai Shan was not in a hurry to feed her the next bite. Instead, he touched her lips with the spoon and said, "Eat slowly. Chew carefully, okay?"
Bai Jingxing kicked her short legs, clapped her hands, and urged her father to feed her the next bite.
Bai Shan scooped half a spoonful and fed her. Bai Ruoyu, who was sitting opposite her, clasped her hands together and watched intently. Her eyes followed the spoon up and down, and her saliva flowed unconsciously...
Princess Mingda quickly wiped his little mouth with a handkerchief, and he came to his senses and pointed at the bowl of egg custard.
Mingda smiled and said, "You've already eaten."
Bai Ruoyu didn't listen and stretched out her hand to grab the bowl, almost falling on the table. Bai Erlang was so scared that he quickly reached out and carried her over.
He patted his butt gently and said, "What are you doing? I almost couldn't hold you."
Bai Ruoyu kicked her legs, pointed at the egg custard and screamed.
Bai Erlang touched his belly and said to Mingda, "I think he can eat a little more."
Mingda: "...It's not good. I have to drink a bowl of it every morning, and I have to drink milk."
"Oh, give him some more. He definitely prefers solid food to breast milk."
Mingda looked at Zhou Man.
Zhou Man thought about it and nodded, "They've grown a little bit, so it's okay to give them more food, but don't feed them too much, be careful of indigestion."
Bai Erlang said happily, "Don't worry, it won't be too much. I'll give him two spoonfuls so that he won't be greedy just because of Big Sister."
He was given two spoonfuls, and he ate the rest himself. Yin Huo, who was standing by, was speechless for a long time, "Who wants to eat it, him or you?"
"Of course he wants to eat it. This egg custard doesn't have a grain of salt in it. It has no flavor at all. How can it be delicious?"
Zhou Man looked up at him and said, "It still tastes good, otherwise you wouldn't be eating it with such relish."
Shirojiro:......
Now even Mingda couldn't help laughing.
After feeding the two children, Zheng sent someone to pick them up. "Madam said she wanted to take the young lady and the young master out for a walk. It's too hot at noon, so we won't go out."
The older the child gets, the less he sleeps and the more he longs to be outside.
Ever since Bai Shan and Zhou Man developed the habit of taking them out for a walk every evening, they are always looking for ways to go out unless they are sleeping or feeding.
Zheng doted on her children very much and couldn't bear to see them making noises and acting like spoiled brats, so she would take them out for a walk from time to time.
But these days they woke up from their naps earlier and earlier, and they always went out when the sun was at its highest, so Zheng decided to change their travel time.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang handed them over to the servants to carry them away, and then they talked about business, "Someone from the capital is coming."
Zhou Man, who had been passively eating his breakfast, looked at Yin He who was speaking, "Someone? Who is coming?"
Yin Huo looked at Bai Shan and said, "The court has established the General Salt Transport Bureau to reform the salt administration. Beihai County has now replaced Jiangnan as the largest salt-producing area, so the people from the Salt Transport Bureau want to come and take a look."
Yin Huo said, "My father wrote to me in a letter home. The official document from the court should be arriving soon."
The prince's letter arrived in Beihai County earlier than the official documents from the court.
He told Bai Shan clearly that if the Salt Transport Bureau took over the salt field, then the operation of the salt field would be handed over to the Salt Transport Bureau in the future. They should handle what needed to be handled and make arrangements...
After reading the letter, Bai Shan threw it to Zhou Man and fell back on the bed. "What can I do? All the money from the salt field is now invested in the dock. As for arrangements..."
Bai Shan thought of something and quickly stood up, "By the way, we need to make arrangements with Li Wei."
“Is there enough money now to build a dock?”
"It's still a little short, but it doesn't matter. The Salt Transport Bureau just said they were here to take a look at the situation. If they want to take over completely, I guess we have to wait until the Jiangnan situation is settled. Who knows when that will be? Maybe after this year, another quarter of official salt revenue will be enough to fund the construction of the docks for the next few years."
Bai Shan had made a very good plan, but he did not expect that the situation in Jiangnan had changed drastically at this time.
