She Doesn’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

  Chapter 621 New Year's Eve

  Lu Wanjing has already made the news of Lu Man’s death public, so Hua Manman now no longer needs to wear the vest of the princely prince, she can wear women's clothing and be free to be herself.

  She carried her skirt and ran down the city wall quickly.

  No matter how cold it is, the cheerful smile on her face can't be blown away.

  When she ran to Li Ji, Li Ji bent over to pull her on the horse back and embraced her.

  The two entered the city on the same horse.

  The people stood on both sides of the road, they were here to welcome the triumphant return of the army.

  When they saw the regent appeared, they cheered.

  All the 40,000 troops cannot enter the city. Only some people can follow the regent into Lingxi City, while the rest are temporarily stationed outside the city, waiting for rewards.

  This time they captured many enemy captives, and they were all taken into Lingxi City this time.

  Seeing the embarrassed prisoners, the people's emotions were pushed to a climax again, and the cheers were also wave after wave.

   There were originally many little ladies who longed for the regent to throw embroidered sachets on the regent. After seeing the regent holding a beautiful little lady in his arms, they could only shift their targets to the generals behind.

  Many generals were lost with embroidered handkerchief sachets all over their bodies, and even Li Liao, who was full of face and beard, was not spared.

  When they returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, these generals had already got a lot of powdery fragrance on their bodies.

  Flower Manman is just a little closer, you can smell the fragrance of them.

  Compared with the excited and proud expressions of other generals, Li Liao looked very low-key. He looked for a chance to go back to the house and change his clothes.

  The war is over, the next most important thing is to reward soldiers and deal with prisoners.

  After all these things are handled properly, Li Ji and Hua Manman and the others have to prepare to return to Beijing.

  At this time, the Chinese New Year was approaching, and Lu Wanjing invited them to stay for the New Year together, but Hua Manman politely declined.

  Gougdan is still at home alone, she can't worry about it, and wants to hurry back.

  On the second day after Xiao Nian, Hua Manman and Li Ji and Li Liao said goodbye to Lu Wanjing and left Lingxi City.

  Hua Manman and Yueniang ride in the same carriage.

  There is a small stove burning in the car, and it’s not too cold. Just keep the windows open for ventilation to avoid carbon dioxide poisoning.

  Although Hua Manman has now changed back to women's clothing, Li Ji still feels uneasy. He will get close to the carriage from time to time and take a look inside the car through the gap in the window.

  This scene fell in Yueniang's eyes, and she felt a little funny.

  But due to the identity of the other party's regent, Yueniang didn't dare to laugh out, so she could only hold her lips together.

  She quietly said to Hua Manman.

   "Your man is so jealous."

  Small tabby cat lay down beside the small stove and dozed, and heard that she raised her hair to make a meow.

  That's right! He is a jealous monster!

  Flower Manman: "His mind is only so small, you can get used to it."

  She gestured with her index finger and thumb.

   Yueniang covered her lips and chuckled.

  Seven days later, they left the boundary of Longdong County smoothly.

  Go all the way to the north.

  The temperature is getting colder and colder, the mountain roads are almost freezing, and the roads are slippery and difficult to walk.

  Their driving speed is forced to become slower and slower.

  The motorcade entered Fushun County and found an inn to stay.

  According to Li Ji’s identity, they can live in the inn directly, but Li Liao suggested to conceal their identity to travel in a micro-service, which is safer and more secure.

  So they are wealthy officials dressed as visiting relatives, and outsiders don’t know their true identities.

  Today is New Year's Eve, red lanterns are hung at the door of every household in the city, and people on the street wear red and green, all of them are beaming.

  Since everyone went home for the New Year, the inn could hardly see other guests, so Li Ji simply paid to cover the entire inn.

  The shopkeeper is naturally willing to make this money, but he still reminded truthfully.

   "Our cooks and buddies have also gone home for the New Year, so I am afraid that you can only take care of the meal tonight."

  Flower Manman means no problem.

The shopkeeper also has to go home for the New Year. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to tell them that they can use the ingredients in the kitchen at will. They don’t have to clean up after cooking. They will clean up when the mate comes to work tomorrow morning. The only thing to pay attention to is Just close the doors and windows and don't let the thief get in.

  Flower Manman naturally responds one by one.

  She and Yueniang went to the kitchen to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner, and Xiaohuamao followed along, wanting something delicious.

  Li Ji brought a lot of guards, and the number of them was a hundred small. In addition, Li Liao also brought a lot of people. It is certain that Hua Manman and Yueniang alone would not be able to cook so many meals.

  Li Ji also reluctant to let Manman work so hard, he let the people under his hands prepare dinner by themselves.

  The guards often go out to do errands, cooking and everything is a piece of cake.

  They set up a fire and a pot in the yard and prepared a lively New Year’s Eve dinner.

  Li Ji and Li Liao can't just sit and wait for food, they also have to come to the kitchen to help.

  Li Ji is responsible for choosing dishes and washing dishes, and Li Liao is responsible for burning the fire.

  Yueniang was originally terrified. She felt that these two people were from aristocratic origin, and they must have been out of the sun since they were young. If they were asked to do their jobs, they might not be able to do their jobs.

  The result was unexpected.

  Whether it is Li Ji or Li Liao, they are very awkward in their work, and they are very obedient to the command.

  Yueniang’s impression of Li Ji has changed. It seems that although this person is a little less minded, he is still good in other aspects.

  The guards didn’t know where they got a suckling pig, and they were setting up a fire in the yard to roast suckling pigs, making the yard full of the smell of roasting suckling pigs.

  Little tabby cat squatted on the windowsill and watched, drooling.

  Hua Manman also prepares pork dishes, such as dried prunes and vegetables, as well as braised pork knuckles.

  The pig's feet are marinated and boiled soft and rotten, and then braised with corn and chili. The taste of pig's trotters is dipped into the corn, so that the corn is stained with meaty flavor. At the same time, the chili adds a little spiciness to the pig's trotters, making this dish richer and more fragrant.

  When it came out of the pot, Hua Manman couldn't help but pick up a piece of pork knuckle with chopsticks and tasted it.

   Then she gave Li Ji, Li Liao, and Yue Niang a taste.

  All three of them said it was very delicious.

  Humanman also made steamed sea bass, braised lion head, garlic shrimp, large plate chicken, pearl lotus root and other dishes.

  A table was set up full.

  Of course, there are also essential dumplings for the New Year’s Eve dinner!

  Hua Manman deliberately cooked a big pot of hot dumplings.

  The four of them each served a bowl, and the rest of the dumplings were all distributed to the guards outside.

  With these dumplings, they can be regarded as having a decent New Year's Eve.

  Everyone toasted and drank together.

  Hua Manman didn't have any big dreams, only smiled and said something.

   "I wish everyone a safe and successful new year."

  The wine glass and the bowl touched together, making a crisp sound.

  Everyone shouted in unison.

   "Safe and smooth!"

  ……

  This article has actually come to an end, but it will be finished in one and a half months.

  Recently, I am sorting out the plot outline. I have to dig out all the foreshadowings I have buried before. There are many things to worry about, so it will be very difficult to write, and the update will not be a problem. Please forgive me, bow~
