The whole family had a rest while having a tea and had nothing to do after a while. The whole family first went to Lianji Department Store, then took a carriage to Lianji Restaurant, and then went to Shundefang, which was being decorated. They had seen their own shops, and the whole family also went to the pawn shop in Shenyihao, and the silver house that Manager Wang mentioned.

As the two shopkeepers said, the locations of these two shops are good and quite large. After the market is completed, you can open it with just a little adjustment. They are truly two very good industries.

In the evening, the family ate at Lianji Restaurant. After dinner, they returned to the house in Liushujing Hutong to rest.

I had a good night's sleep. After breakfast the next day, the family set out again, passed through Fuyuan and other three counties, and arrived at the Fucheng in the evening.

They have been here several times, so they are naturally not as fresh as the first time they came. However, after entering the city and feeling the bustle and prosperity of the cold winter and the strong New Year atmosphere, the fatigue along the way almost dissipated.

The carriage stopped in front of the house in Songshu Hutong. There were already people in charge of the outside house and the aunts in charge of the inside house waiting at the door. The family got off the carriage and walked into the door surrounded by servants.

The carriage walked a long way forward and entered the yard through the corner gate. There were stables where the carriage could be placed. The servants and friends brought from Sanshiliyingzi also had to rest in the yard.

The whole family entered the yard and sat down until the front hall. The managers inside and outside brought people to the same class to pay tribute. Because it was getting late, even Man'er and Goro only arranged what they were about to do, and did not ask about other things in detail, so they all retreated. If there is something, I will talk about it tomorrow.

The kitchen had prepared a sumptuous meal, and the whole family went back to the room and washed a little. Then they gathered in the front hall to have dinner together. After a day's journey, the whole family went back to their room to rest.

Wulang lived alone in the study room in the front yard, Lian Shouxin, Zhang took Xiaoqi to the east room in the back yard, and Lian Man'er took four girls to the west room in the house.

I knew that the owner had been cleaned up today, and the house had been cleaned up long ago, so the kang was naturally burning hot and there was a smoke cage placed underground, and a faint fragrance radiated from it.

The room is already tight. Thick curtains are hung on the glazed windows, which keep the cold outside firmly. Because the room is so warm, not only can't wear big clothes, but also only wear jackets and skirts inside, it's a bit hot.

Lian Man'er entered the inner room and took off her coat and skirt outside. Several girls brought water to serve Lian Man'er to wash up. Lian Man'er then sat in front of the dressing table, Xiao Xi came forward, gently untied Lian Man'er's hair, took out an ivory comb and double-layer bamboo comb, and slowly helped Lian Man'er comb his hair.

"The girl's hair is getting better and better." Xiao Xi said with a smile while combing Lian Man'er's hair.

It is completely different from when I first arrived in this world. Now Lian Man'er has long black and thick hair. This long hair has been praised a lot, and Lian Man'er himself likes it quite a lot.

Of course, being pretty is just one aspect. Such black hair also shows the health of the owner.

"The girl's hair looks like a wife." Xiao Qing continued with a smile, "It's just that wife's hair."

Lian Man'er smiled and didn't say anything. In fact, not only Zhang had good hair, but also Shuxin's hair was black and thick. The couple didn't say anything else. They all had a good body. Therefore, the sisters benefited a lot.

"Girl, which balm to use today?" Xiao Qing took out three bottles of balm from the dressing box and asked Lian Man'er to choose.

The three bottles of balm are the best products from Lianji Department Store from the south, and are also the most popular products for rich ladies and girls in the city today. They are all white fine porcelain bottles. When the bottle cap is opened, a faint fragrance will be emitted. The balm inside is white, smooth and delicate, and it is indeed the best.

Lian Man'er doesn't like to apply makeup, but as cold as today, it is necessary to apply some skin care and moisturizing balm.

"Marlin's," Lian Man'er said.

The three bottles of balm are jasmine, rose and osmanthus. Among them, jasmine has the lightest fragrance and osmanthus fragrance has the strongest fragrance. Lian Man'er's favorite is jasmine fragrance.

Xiao Qing gently rolled up Lian Man'er's sleeves, dug a large ball of balm from the porcelain bottle, applied it from Lian Man'er's hands to his arms, and then applied a layer on Lian Man'er's calves.

"Girl, are you still using roses on your face?" After finishing all this, Xiao Qing stood up and asked Lian Man'er softly.

"Yes." Lian Man'er nodded halfway with his eyes closed.

Lian Man'er actually doesn't like this rose-scented balm because she thinks that the rose-scent is not pure enough. However, this balm is the least greasy among the three balm. Therefore, Lian Man'er usually uses this balm on her face.

"That day, a wife in the village saw our girl. Later, she told me that our girl was frugal and had nothing to do on her face. I laughed at her for being unaware. Don't look at our girl without having to use powder, rouge, hair oil, etc., but she doesn't save money at all..." Xiao Qing said with a smile again.

Of course, she didn't save money when using facial fat as body lotion, Lian Man'er thought to herself.

"Who said I'm not frugal?" Lian Man'er opened her eyes and pretended to be angry, "You don't know what I'm the frugal one yet?"

"I know, I know, the girl is the most frugal." Xiao Xi and Xiao Qing hurriedly smiled and agreed.

In fact, whether to be frugal or not is not a problem. When Lian Man'er turned off the lights and went to bed, she was still thinking that when she was free, she had to think of ways to get some skin care products she liked. Although she is young now and does not need these things, she will always be able to use them in the future. Prepare early, and maybe she can create another treasure pot for this.

The next day, Lian Man'er got up on time. She had the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. However, she was not as good as Lian Shouxin and Zhang. The couple still maintained the habit of farmers. Although they had no work to do for them now, they always had to find something for themselves.

Even Xiaoqi got up earlier than Lian Man'er, and he had already gone to the study room to study with Goro.

After Lian Man'er washed up, put on her clothes and came to the front yard.

"The master went to the front yard to see people work, and the wife took Jixiang to the kitchen and said she wanted to make some buns by herself." On the way, Ruyi told Lian Man'er.

The virtue of hard work seems to have penetrated into Lian Shouxin and Zhang's blood. Lian Man'er thinks this is OK. Compared to those who have become lazy due to the improvement of living conditions, Lian Shouxin and Zhang are undoubtedly cute. And their qualities also have a subtle influence on several children.

Lian Man'er arrived at the front yard and went to the study first. When she saw Goro and Xiaoqi studying, she didn't bother her, but just sat next to her and took a book and read it slowly.

During breakfast, the family gathered at the dining table. When Goro came back from the capital before the New Year, he brought back a chef who was good at making Huaiyang cuisine. This chef was from Mr. Lu's hometown and was given to Goro by Mr. Lu.

The breakfast table, the exquisite porridge and snacks, have a very good flavor of Huaiyang cuisine. The snacks of Huaiyang cuisine are called Sudian, which are as famous as Guangdian. In addition, there are of course the meat-filled buns made by Zhang for his family on the table.

The family is not the kind of person who is not diligent in four bodies. In addition, the food is delicious, so they have a good appetite. After breakfast, the family sat next to them and discussed the itinerary for the two days.

The first thing I did when I came to Fucheng was naturally to send a post to the Shen family. Because they had already set a date for coming to Fucheng, the post had been sent to Shenfu two days ago.

"...Sixth Master has not been at home these two days, and he said he would have to wait for the Lantern Festival before he could come back. Today we go, mainly to meet Mr. Chen San." Wulang said first.

"We have to meet the Sixth Master once. Anyway, we have to live in the city for a few days. When the Sixth Master comes back, we can meet you no matter how hard it is." Lian Shouxin said.

Goro nodded.

"Will Brother Xiaojiu be at home?" Xiaoqi asked.

"I'm here, I'm here, I don't necessarily see you today." Goro said, "I heard that the master and wife of the Shen family have been at home these days, and the eldest wife is very strict with her."

"Yan is not afraid," Xiaoqi thought for a while and said, "Brother, you passed the scholarship with Brother Xiaojiu. Brother Xiaojiu and I will follow Mr. Chu to study. The eldest wife of the Shen family will not let Brother Xiaojiu meet others, but there is no reason not to see us."

Xiaoqi is smarter than children of the same age and has a guide from a famous teacher. He reads many more books and speaks seriously, with reasonable and more convincing than some adults.

"Sister, do you think so?" Xiaoqi asked Lian Man'er.

"You're right." Lian Man'er said with a smile.

In addition to visiting the Shen family, Lian Man'er's family has many other things to do when they come to the city this time. First of all, of course, it is about socializing. The family has to prepare a drink and go to the banquet everywhere.

Other families invite them to the banquet, and they don’t have to worry about it. They want to invite a drink and drink, and this day has been decided.

"The opera troupe has been decided." Goro said, "I'll hold a banquet at home at that time."

As for the menu for the banquet...

"Roasted duck is definitely indispensable," Lian Man'er said, "and there are also Sudian made by our own chef. These two are enough to make people cheer. For other dishes, it's enough to arrange some."

Everyone nodded, called the kitchen staff again, and set the menu.

In addition to socializing, they also plan to buy some industries in Fucheng. The first thing is to buy a farm near Fucheng.

"...It is better to send ducks here from Luojia Village to send them a duck to a nearby farm and send them directly to the city of the city." Lian Man'er said.

Later, the ducks raised in Luojia Village were specially supplied to Shundefang in Jinyang County, while in addition, the ducks raised in Buy Farms near Fucheng were specially supplied to Shundefang in Fucheng.

Of course, this farm is only used to raise ducks, but it is combined with the farm in Luojia Village and Sanshiliyingzi, fields, lotus ponds, fish ponds, duck farms, pig farms, etc. With a large market like Fucheng, there is no need to worry about production sales at all.
