Several people chatted until late at night before Uncle Da left quietly.
They have their own means of communication, and Uncle Da will not come to the house again unless absolutely necessary, so as not to be exposed and cause unnecessary trouble.
The days go by very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there are still more than a month left before the New Year.
Xiao Muyang and Bai Lao have not returned to Beijing yet.
According to the plan, it will be almost March or April when they come back.
Liu Yue wanted to go back to Kaoshan Village, but Rongguo Gong disagreed. He wanted to spend the New Year at home and wait for Xiao Muyang to come back before making plans.
Liu Anan has been very busy these days. He spent several nights in a row checking all the accounts for the year with the big housekeeper Dafeng.
Cuihua also arrived in the capital a few days ago. After sorting out the accounts of her family's business, she brought them to the capital for her daughter to review.
Everyone has worked very hard this year, but of course, the benefits are real money.
Liu Anan formulated a year-end welfare policy, which Cuihua and Dafeng were responsible for distributing to all shopkeepers and clerks.
New Year's gifts for Crazy Grandpa, Village Chief Zhou, Master Fan, adopted father and adopted mother and others are all prepared.
She herself can't leave the capital at the moment and has no way to visit in person, so she can only wait until she has time to go.
Because Liu Anan implemented a three-year tax exemption for his fiefdom of Qingyu Town, this move made the people of the eighteen villages in the fiefdom rejoice.
Village Chief Zhou took the lead and asked women from each household to embroider a six-meter-long landscape and pastoral picture. The embroidery was exactly the mountains and rivers of Qingyu Town.
Eighteen villages are clearly marked on it.
There are also scenes of children playing, women washing and cooking, men working in the fields, and old people sitting around chatting.
Vivid rural scenes appear before your eyes.
Liu Anan's eyes couldn't help but moisten as he looked at the mountains and rivers of Qingyu Town in front of him.
She has really put down roots here!
Liu Yue looked at her daughter's red eyes, and she felt extremely distressed. No one knew better than her what her daughter had sacrificed.
It is in line with the old saying that if you want to be noble in front of others, you will definitely suffer in death.
On this day, a strong wind came in a hurry.
Seeing Da Feng's solemn expression, Liu An'an asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Girl, someone has been secretly spying on Xiangyangshanzhuang Winery recently. His subordinates are being watched, but this person is very careful and he almost loses track of him. In the end, this person enters Prince Xian's Mansion."
"oh?"
Liu An felt relieved.
The Feng family must have been kicked out, and Xian Wang's money bag has problems. Xian Wang can't sit still.
Apparently Gale also thought of this.
"Wine is very profitable, and the wine in our winery is good. This wise king wants to get a share of the pie, but it depends on whether he has a good set of teeth!"
Liu Anan tapped the table with her fingers.
"Girl, you don't have to worry about the wine shop leaking information. The core clerks are all our own. Some other clerks can't touch the core things. There are secret guards in the workshop watching secretly, and they can't do anything."
Dafeng had this in mind when he first built the winery.
Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.
The profit of the winery is too great, and this wine is a rare wine.
If someone secretly puts something into the wine, Xiangyang Winery will be completely destroyed.
Therefore, there are secret guards keeping an eye on the workshops and wine cellars. Usually the workers cannot see them, but they can clearly see every corner of the entire workshop.
"In a few days, Princess Xian will come into contact with me. If King Xian doesn't want to stand out, Princess Xian will use diplomacy on his behalf."
"How does a girl cope?"
"Of course I'm crying and making trouble! Your majesty, a grown man, and his youngest son is older than me. He wants to steal the business of one of my children. Where is his face? I have to ask the Holy One to make the decision."
Seeing his girl pouting and looking unhappy, the smile in Dafeng's eyes grew stronger and stronger.
Sure enough, the next day, the nanny from Prince Xian's Mansion came in person. Liu Anan was the county head, so the old nanny was naturally very respectful.
"County Master, this old slave, on the order of my princess, invites the County Master to come to Deyi Building to have a talk."
This Deyilou is a very famous teahouse in the capital, and Liu Anan really likes the tea there.
Liu Anan nodded, and then the old nanny left to return to her life.
"Girl, do you want to inform Mr. Hou?" Qing Yi asked worriedly.
Liu An'an shook her head, "No need for that, let me first explore Princess Xian's background and see what she wants to do."
Liu Anan is not someone who goes to her parents when she encounters difficulties. She will solve whatever she can solve by herself.
"Girl, don't worry, the old slave will accompany the girl."
Aunt Jin has seen too many storms and waves, so King Xian will naturally not find his own girl in person, but Princess Xian is a woman, older and an elder.
She must play the family card, gain the girl's trust first, make the girl feel the care from an elder, and then get close to her.
At this time, she made another request, and it was difficult for the girl to refuse.
Aunt Jin really guessed King Xian’s plan.
Liu An Anke has been a person for two generations, how could she not figure this out?
However, when Princess Xian met Liu Anan, her plan was destined to fail.
After lunch, Liu An rested for a while, then took Grandma Jin and Lu Yi to go to the appointment.
Qing Yi left Beijing with his guards and Nian Li.
The carriage from the Marquis Mansion arrived at Deyi Building quickly. When the shopkeeper learned that the Lord of Anle County was coming, he personally invited Liu An'an to Princess Xian's private room upstairs.
Liu Anan has been in Beijing for so long, and this is the first time he has met Princess Xian.
Opening the door, Liu Anan saw a very luxuriously dressed woman sitting in the room. Princess Xian was nearly forty years old, but she was very well maintained and looked to be in her early thirties.
"Anle has met Princess Xian."
When Princess Xian saw the little girl in front of her, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, what a Liu Anan, she looks so handsome.
It's no wonder, Liu Ruyue and Rong Jue are both outstanding people, and their children must be the same.
"No need to be polite, Anle girl, come here quickly."
Princess Xian said with a smile.
With such affectionate energy, if Liu Anan didn't know what happened to Prince Xian and his wife back then, he would really think that Princess Xian was a very gentle woman.
Liu Anan also sat aside generously.
"Good boy, I should have invited you here earlier, but my health is not up to par. I am very afraid of the cold when winter comes, and I rarely go out of the house. Don't mind."
Princess Xian smiled softly.
The nanny on the side also smiled and said: "County Master, our princess has been talking about it in the mansion several times, saying that she wants to see the County Master, but the princess is not feeling well, and the prince is reluctant to let the princess leave the mansion, so it has been delayed for so long."
Liu Anan also smiled: "Princess, you are serious."
Since Liu An'an was made the county lord by the Holy Father, the old prince, the queen and some concubines in the palace have all sent congratulatory gifts.
Among the royal family, only Prince Xian's Mansion, the Queen Mother, Concubine Hui from the Li family, and Concubine Hui's little follower An Bin did not make any movement.
But Liu Anan didn't care.
"I didn't expect that Anle would dare to go to the border at such a young age. It's really admirable. It's difficult for you to live in poverty at the border."
After saying that, Concubine Xian pressed her eyes with a handkerchief.
Huh?
Are you moved to tears?
The villain in Liu Anan's heart was looking up to the sky and laughing.
I really want to award the Concubine Xian with an Okaka statuette. The tears come as soon as I say it. I am really convinced.
"Princess, there is nothing hard to do. I grew up in the countryside and have experienced all kinds of hardships. Being able to do something for the soldiers of Daqi is also a blessing for peace and happiness."
Seeing Liu Anan's particularly sincere eyes, Princess Xian didn't know what to say for a moment.
The room fell silent for a moment.
