"Scholar Su really doesn't need to go to Jiangxi?"

Liu Qingxin asked with surprise on her face while holding the collected manuscripts.

"Yes, at the last moment when he was about to leave, officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs brought a new appointment and changed his position to Yangzhou."

Ning Fu replied with a smile.

This is his new house. He officially moved in today. Liu Zheng also brought many people to help decorate it.

"It's great. Yangzhou is as prosperous as the capital city, and the distance is closer. Scholar Su also has less pain from traveling around!"

Liu Qingxin said excitedly again.

As a person who loves poetry, she certainly does not want to see Su Shi suffer.

"Son-in-law, did Mr. Zhang say something to the banquet he hosted that day when Master Su was invited? Otherwise, how could Mr. Zhang suddenly change his mind?"

Liu Zheng came over and asked quietly.

"I went there just to cook, so how could I know what they were talking about?"

Ning Fu lied.

"You really don't know?"

Liu Zheng didn't believe it. Now all the civil and military officials were talking about Su Shi. Many people were wondering why Zhang Dun suddenly changed his mind.

"really do not know!"

Ning Fu shook his head firmly.

It's not that he didn't want to say it, but Zhang Dun and Su Shi really didn't talk about anything substantial that day, they just talked about old times.

Of course, Ning Fu acted as a lubricant.

Don't underestimate this effect, it abruptly changed Zhang Dun's thinking, and even changed Su Shi's fate.

But now is not the time for Ning Fu to show off.

He was able to change Zhang Dun's mind just by introducing him to commoners. If word spread, I'm afraid he would immediately be labeled as Zhang Dun's confidant, and he wouldn't be able to get rid of him even if he wanted to.

"Brother-in-law, the servants are waiting outside. Do you and your sister want to go and take a look?"

At this time a young man stepped in and asked.

This young man is of medium build and good-looking. If you look carefully, he looks somewhat similar to Liu Zheng. He is Liu Ce, Liu Qingxin’s eldest brother.

"It's time for you, big brother!"

Ning Fu raised his hands to Liu Ce and smiled and said, the two had a fight before, but now that they are a family, their grudges have long been resolved.

The servants in the family were all prepared by Liu Zheng, including two mothers-in-law and two maids.

When two of the maids saw Liu Qingxin, they also excitedly stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings, Madam!"

Liu Qingxin was also very happy to see the two maids. Apparently they had known each other for a long time.

"They are my sister's personal maids. The fatter one is called Si Qin, and the thinner one is called Shi Hua!"

Liu Ce introduced Ning Fu.

"I have met the master, madam!"

At this time, the two women also came forward and saluted.

She is said to be a mother-in-law, but she is actually about forty years old. She used to work in the Liu family.

"No need to be polite, your wages will remain the same as before for the time being. If anyone does a good job, I will consider giving you an increase as appropriate!"

Ning Fu didn't say any nonsense and mentioned wages as soon as he opened his mouth.

These servants are not sold into the government, but are hired. They work just for money, so just saying that money is more useful than anything else.

Sure enough, upon hearing Ning Fu's promise of a wage increase, the mother-in-law and the maids were also very happy.

As servants, their biggest dream is to follow a generous master.

The courtyard with two entrances is neither too small nor too large, and it is neither too many nor too little to support four servants.

Ning Fu saw that the arrangements at home were almost complete, so he personally cooked a sumptuous meal and entertained Liu Zheng and his son.

In the end, Liu Ce got so drunk that he hugged Ning Fu and refused to let go.

"Brother-in-law, I did look down on you in the past, but I didn't expect you to come out on top in the poetry competition, and even refused the opportunity to go to the Imperial College. Do you know how many people want to go to the upper house?"

Liu Ce was studying at Taixue, and he was only an internal student. If he wanted to enter Shangshe, he had to pass a strict assessment.

"Brother, with your talents and knowledge, it will be easy to enter the upper house in the future. I am an idle person and will not join in the fun!"

Ning Fu tried hard to push Liu Ce away, but the guy smelled of alcohol.

"That's right, I, Liu Cewentao, am good at everything in martial arts. Brother-in-law, if you don't believe it, I'll give you Taizu Changquan!"

Liu Ce was finally broken free by Ning Fu, and then he began to lie on the ground and punch.

If Zhao Kuangyin saw him hitting Taizu Changquan like this, he would definitely be so angry that he would smash the coffin board.

Liu Qingxin was ashamed and angry when she saw her brother acting crazy while drinking, so she immediately asked someone to put Liu Ce on the carriage.

Liu Zheng drank a lot of wine, but after drinking too much, he lay down on the table, snoring loudly, and was finally carried into the carriage.

After seeing off her father and brother, Liu Qingxin immediately took Ning Fu around her new home several times.

In particular, several rooms in the inner house were assigned uses by her.

Not to mention the bedroom, there must also be a study room, and it is the largest room. Everything in the study room must be in duplicate to make it easier for her and Ning Fu to read and write.

Besides the study, Liu Qingxin’s favorite thing is the small garden in the backyard.

Although the garden is now in a state of depression, the fish are also sinking to the bottom of the water because they are afraid of the cold.

Liu Qingxin was already happily planning which flowers and plants to plant.

Looking at the happy and innocent Liu Qingxin, Ning Fu also had an idea in his mind.

Maybe it's a good thing to spend your life simply and happily.

But Ning Fu immediately became alert and put the above thoughts behind him.

He would like to live a simple and happy life, but this era simply does not allow it!

The catastrophe thirty years later seems far away, but it will come one day. If they don't make preparations in advance, sooner or later, their family will become the dead souls of the Golden Man!

…………

In the next few days, Ning Fu accompanied Liu Qingxin at home and held a housewarming party for Aunt Wang, Zhang Tiezui and other neighbors.

Aunt Wang's injury healed quickly and she is no longer in trouble now.

So after the housewarming party, Hutou was kicked out by her to a workshop outside the city.

Ning returned to work after a day of reelection. Although his family had moved, the restaurant still had to open.

Although Ning Kee Restaurant is small, its location is quite good.

The most important thing is that I just paid the rent, and now that I'm moving out, the landlord won't refund the money.

In the first few days of opening, many good-hearted people came to join in the fun every day, mainly to see what the Ning University talent who was the best looked like?

Ning Fu enjoyed the feeling of being a celebrity at first, but then he gradually got tired of it.

So Ning Fu once again hung a sign at the door saying "No entry for idlers". Only customers holding the number plate could enter the store. This made some good people slowly give up.

This afternoon, there were few customers in Ningfu's restaurant.

It's not that business is bad, but most of today's customers choose takeout.

Ning Fu has now figured out a rule.

Officials don't like to eat in restaurants because they are afraid of meeting acquaintances.

Businessmen, on the contrary, like to meet acquaintances the most. Maybe a chat at the dinner table will settle a business deal.

"Xiao Langjun, good news!"

At this moment, Wang Gui walked into the store with a happy face, holding his long-haired cat.

“Where does joy come from?”

Ning Fu looked up with a smile.

"Our first batch of soap has been delivered and the payment has been cleared. Are you overjoyed?"

Wang Gui’s eyebrows were dancing with joy.

During this time, he was soaking in the soap workshop every day, just waiting for this day.

"Good news indeed!"

Ning Fu nodded.

"Since it's good news, shouldn't we celebrate it with an elbow?"

Wang Gui said with an expectant look.
