Chapter 249 The Great Wedding
Since the target group of the soap is husbands, it is natural to do things according to their preferences. Thanks to the fact that he accompanied Li Xiu to make a lot of head flowers, his understanding of flower shapes is still in place. According to his description, the two carpenters The effect of the mold made with the drawing is not bad.
Lin Xiazhi plans to make several series of shaped soaps, such as the rather elegant plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum gentleman series, as well as the spring flower series, summer flower series, autumn flower series, and winter flower series according to seasons. A series of incense powders are currently available on the market, so there is no need to think of a way to make them alone, only bamboo needs to be studied.
The rest of January was busy making soap, and Lin Xiazhi didn't have time to go back to Linjia Village to ask if the Doufang in the village recruited more brothers to work.
Lin Xiaodong was called back several times by him to inquire about the news. Judging from the information Lin Xiaodong found, there is still controversy about more brothers going to work in Doufang.
Although some brothers have called out to work in Doufang before, they hesitated when they actually recruited workers in Doufang, and some men who originally wanted not to work in Doufang and were going to go out to do business also made a decision after persuasion from their family members Continue to stay in Doufang.
Only a small number of men really left Doufang, and the village only recruited a few brothers to fill the vacancies, and others were still watching.
Lin Xiaodong also said that the Doufang in the village has proposed maternity leave for husbands, and posted it under the big tree where the village holds a meeting. Everyone in the village can see it, and everyone has mixed opinions on maternity leave.
In addition, Lin Chengyun voluntarily resigned from his job as the manager of Doufang, and signed a confidentiality contract that he would not reveal all the secrets of Doufang. His behavior made the villagers who supported him continue to work very puzzled. Now that Doufang has already had maternity leave , there is no need for him to leave because of pregnancy.
As a result, when everyone knew that Lin Chengyun jumped to work as an intern shopkeeper in Piaoxiang Tenli and managed Piaoxiang Tenli together with Zhou Xiaozhu, they all envied Lin Chengyun's good luck.
This year, I spent Chinese New Year out of town. When I returned to Jiangning County, it was almost the tenth day of the lunar new year. It seemed that January passed very quickly. Cheng Diexi’s family was sent away. Lin Xiazhi’s research on soap has just begun, and February is coming. .
As soon as February arrives, the weather is obviously warmer, and I can’t wear thicker robes on my body. It’s colder when I wake up in the morning. It’s enough to wear a normal-thick outer robe. At noon, when the temperature is the highest, the young and strong Some men even took off their coats to work.
At this time, an imperial decree from the capital passed through Lishui County to Jiangning County, and finally arrived at Linjia Village.
The Cheng family received the news before the imperial decree arrived in Lishui County. Lin Xiazhi was worried that telling the Lin family would make them too nervous, so he asked Cheng Wenliu to tell him when the imperial decree arrived in Lishui County. Then he would go back to the village .
The so-called imperial decree is the imperial decree of the capital, and it can be said to be the highest honor in Jingguo. Even Cheng Wenliu felt honored when he heard that the imperial decree praising the Lin family was coming. The summer solstice here seems to have become normal all at once, Cheng Wenliu felt like he had punched the cotton with his fist.
Not only Cheng Wenliu, but other members of the Cheng family were also a little surprised by Lin Xiazhi's attitude. Was it too calm?
They thought it might be because Lin Xiazhi and the others were too far away from the emperor and they didn't have such a strong sense of awe, which was understandable.
Just like the isolated farmers in some places, if you tell them about the county magistrate, they are indifferent. If you change to the county magistrate, the attitude of these people will change immediately.
Because the county magistrate often appears in their daily chats, in their view, the county magistrate is very powerful and can decide people's life and death, but the county magistrate may never have heard of it, and they have no concept of the word magistrate, how can they be in awe? stand up.
In fact, most businessmen don’t actually have much respect for imperial power. No matter how powerful the emperor is, he would never give them money, but instead kept taking money from them.
However, Cheng Fulang took Cheng Wenliu alone and told him to tell Lin Xiazhi not to be too calm when facing the imperial decree, and to pretend to be extremely excited, otherwise he would be used by someone who wants to say that he despises the authority of the emperor. trouble.
Cheng Wenliu told Lin Xiazhi these things in private, reminding Lin Xiazhi, and also conveying such meaning to the Lin family through Lin Xiazhi's mouth.
Now that the Lin family has the imperial decree, even the county magistrate will not dare to move the Lin family easily. The power of the imperial decree is still not small in such a place far away from the political core.
"Okay, I got it, I will tell my family when I go back." Lin Xiazhi agreed.
The imperial decree represented the emperor, and the guard of honor along the way was not easy. By the time they arrived in Lishui County, it was already the third day that Lin Xiazhi had heard about the imperial decree.
Although it was possible to run back and forth from Lishui County to Jiangning County or the Lin family in one day, in order to show the emperor's dignity, the governor of Lishui County had to personally receive the guard of honor who delivered the imperial decree, and had to stay in Lishui County for a whole day.
Lin Xiazhi took advantage of this day to go back to Linjia Village and told Lin Chengzu and Yang Yusheng the news that the imperial decree was coming.
"Chengzu, pinch me, I'm not dreaming." Yang Yusheng took Lin Chengzu's hand and put it on his arm, with a dreamy expression on his face.
Lin Chengzu was not willing to pinch Yang Yusheng, he only squeezed Yang Yusheng's palm a little bit harder: "You see, I feel it."
"I'm really surprised." Yang Yusheng covered his lips, his palms felt swollen and painful, "Brother Xia, do you know what the imperial decree commends?"
"It should be a commendation for the rice and potatoes that our family has researched twice a year." Lin Xiazhi guessed.
The only two things that their family dedicated to the court can be widely advertised, and the new paper prescription is estimated to be hidden for a while.
"Isn't that all due to you, Brother Xia?" Yang Yusheng knew that these two things were inseparable from Lin Xiazhi. Without Lin Xiazhi, there would be no two crops of rice and potatoes a year.
"I don't have any credit. Those who go to the land are all fathers." Lin Xiazhi waved his hand, "Brother, brother, the imperial decree will arrive at home tomorrow, you should prepare wedding money in advance, and then give it to the adults who pass the decree. Clean up the house a little today, don’t need to make it extra clean, just look clean, I don’t know if the adults who pass the decree will eat at our house, I heard that there are a lot of guards of honor, and the kitchen should be prepared in advance.”
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away." Yang Yusheng nodded.
"It's very likely that the adults who pass the decree will visit our village. Brother, you and dad will accompany you when the time comes. Anyway, our family has also received adults from the capital before, so it will be the same as how we received before."
"Okay, big brother knows."
The reason why Li Xiu and Lin Huzi didn't tell Li Xiu and Lin Huzi about the imperial decree in advance was because Lin Xiazhi was worried that their two honest people's behavior would not be true enough.
As for Lin Chengzong who is still studying in the county academy, don't bother him to study, and he will naturally know when Muxiu comes home.
Anyway, it is impossible for their family to know the news of the imperial decree in advance. It is normal for the students to not be at home when they are not in Muxiu, not to mention that Lin Chengzong is still famous as a child student. I believe the adults who passed the decree can understand.
It should be said that Lin Xiazhi, as a married brother, can't show up tomorrow. He looked around the Lin's house and left after lunch without finding anything wrong.
Before leaving, Lin Xiazhi left Lin Xiaodong at Lin's house, and told Lin Xiaodong that he would be at the official road outside Lin's village tomorrow, and if there were any special circumstances, he would go outside to find him immediately.
After Lin Xiazhi left, Lin Chengzu and Yang Yusheng could hardly restrain their excitement. In the afternoon, Lin Chengzu didn't go out, and stayed at home with Yang Yusheng to take care of his millet dumpling.
In fact, both Xiaomi Tuan and Xiao Nian Gao have asked Uncle Lin to give them nicknames. Xiao Nian Gao is called Lin Sinian, and Xiaomi Tuan is called Lin Pengyi. Now that the children are still young, they are still used to calling them by nicknames.
"I didn't expect our family to have such a great fortune. Brother Xia said something to make us be more excited tomorrow. He doesn't need to say anything. I think I will be so excited that I won't be able to sleep tonight." Lin Chengzu picked up the millet ball and put He took out the hand that kept stuffing his mouth, "You can't eat your hands."
Yang Yusheng took out a soft cloth and wiped off the saliva from Xiaomi Tuan's mouth and hands: "You can't sleep, if we receive the imperial edict with big dark circles under our eyes, wouldn't that be disrespectful to the emperor?"
Thinking of this, Yang Yusheng was a little worried: "We must perform well tomorrow, and we must not dissatisfy the adults from the capital."
"Actually, it's okay. Our family received adults from the capital city last year, and I don't think it's difficult to get along with. It's just that there is an imperial decree this time, so we should be more cautious." Lin Chengzu thought about it, and decided to find something for himself to avoid falling asleep, " I'll go to the backyard to chop wood later to exhaust my energy, and I should sleep well at night when I'm tired."
"You can go if you want." Yang Yusheng couldn't help laughing at Lin Chengzu's appearance, and Xiaomi Tuan beside him opened his mouth when he saw his father smiling happily.
"Oh, our millet group laughed, don't you also feel happy? From now on, our family will be protected by the imperial decree, and our village will have honor." Lin Chengzu stood up with his son in his arms, and played with the millet group. game.
"Giggle——" Xiaomi Tuan laughed even more happily.
"Slow down, the child is drooling, wipe him off, or there will be pimples on his face." Yang Yusheng saw the father and son having fun, and quickly stood up and picked up a cloth towel to wipe Xiaomian's mouth.
Xiao Nian Gao didn’t like to drool since he was a child, and he stayed quietly in the crib. The millet ball was smaller than Xiao Nian Gao, but he was very active. After learning to crawl during the Chinese New Year, adults dared not put him alone in the crib He was afraid that he would crawl out by himself.Yang Yusheng had no choice but to ask Carpenter Tang to order a crib with a higher fence and a larger area to prevent this active little guy from crawling out of the crib without paying attention.
