The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Lu Yanyan looked at Erlin who looked exhausted and nodded.

"I understand. You go back and rest first, and we'll talk about the Yuezhou Prefecture matter later. I'll arrange the marinade right now."

Erlin nodded, walked to his room in a daze and fell asleep.

Lu Jia didn't know Erlin, but he knew that he was the attendant who went out with the young master.

Without waiting for Lu Yanyan's instructions, he led Erlin's horse into the stable.

Seeing that Han Qingyun had already left the room, Lu Yanyan asked him how he did in the exam.

Han Qingyun nodded and replied, "Not bad."

Lu Yanyan went to prepare the ingredients for the marinade.

Purchasing such large quantities of uncommon seasonings and medicinal materials will definitely attract attention.

If you happen to meet someone smart, you won’t be able to hide the marinade recipe anymore, so you’ll have to think of a way to conceal it.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yanyan called Chi Nai and others.

She asked everyone to go to different vegetable markets and pharmacies, buy some materials first, and then send them to the courtyard of Baiyun Village and the Lu Mansion here.

Only then did Lu Yanyan begin to understand why the protagonist of the novel, who traveled from modern times to ancient times, could accept the concept of buying and selling slaves so quickly.

There are not enough people and we don’t trust outsiders, so we can only be protected by holding a contract of sale.

But this is not the time to be entangled, she has more important things to do.

After Lu Yanyan explained a few things to Chen, he called Qin Yuru and Lu Liang to go to the farther Mingyuan County to buy some key materials.

Mingyuan County is rich in star anise, cinnamon and cumin.

Moreover, there are many pharmacies in Mingyuan County, so if they purchase goods from different places, it will not attract much attention.

However, Mingyuan County is quite far away, so we probably won’t be back until tomorrow night at the earliest.

By the time Lu Yanyan had finished making the arrangements, Han Qingyun had already told Lu Youtian and Yan Shian about the exam.

After speaking, he followed Lu Yanyan to Mingyuan County.

When we arrived in Mingyuan County, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.

Lu Yanyan and others purchased some goods before the pharmacy closed, and then booked three guest rooms in a nearby restaurant.

In the evening, Han Qingyun helped Lu Yanyan massage his back and shoulders.

This was the first time the two of them were alone at night since they traveled through time.

Even in the Lu family's house in the south of the city, there was a small door connecting their room and Han Huaian's room.

Han Huaixi, on the other hand, either slept with Chen or with Han Huaiyu.

During this rare time together as a couple, Han Qingyun lost his usual serious demeanor.

"Wife, why are you working so hard? Just leave this kind of thing to me. You came all the way here and look how tired you are."

Seeing Lu Yanyan's rolling eyes, Han Qingyun quickly changed his words.

"My wife is a strong woman and will never be a woman behind a man. It seems that I will have to rely on my wife for support in the future."

Thinking of this, Han Qingyun felt a little depressed.

Thinking back to his previous life, although his wife was a glorious people's teacher, she didn't earn much.

Here, his wife earns money to support the family, while he becomes the one who lives off her.

Lu Yanyan couldn't help laughing when he saw Han Qingyun's depressed look.

"If you don't want to be supported by me, who else do you want to be supported by? You little white face."

Han Qingyun quickly put on a pretentious act: "The person is yours. If I don't let you raise him, who will?"

"Ha ha……"

The two of them stayed together for a while and then started talking about serious matters.

"Let's also go buy a carriage. Once the house in Baiyun Village is finished, it will be convenient for us to go to the city. It will probably take a little over half an hour to get there."

"it is good."

"I'm still thinking about whether I should buy Huaiyu a maid. Today is her first day of school, and we're both away. I wonder what she'll think when she gets home."

"Huaiyu is a sensible girl. Unlike Xiaoxi, she won't get angry."

"You can't treat the child unfairly just because she's sensible. You have to apologize to her when you get home."

"Okay, you just said you'd buy Huaiyu a maid?"

"Well, Huaiyu has made two friends recently. One is the granddaughter of the director of the Imperial Hospital, and the other is the granddaughter of the legendary doctor Ye Jianan. Both girls are only twelve years old. The maids around them are about the same age, but from what I see, they handle things very considerately and appropriately."

"Are you worried that Huaiyu will be bullied in the academy because he's young?"

"Well, I want to find someone older, preferably someone who has worked in a wealthy family. Sometimes, the ancient management methods cannot be disobeyed. Among the new women in our family, the one named Chi Nai is obviously more knowledgeable than the others and is also very considerate."

Chi Nai used to be a cook in the home of Fan Tongzhi in Shangyang Prefecture.

Because of her good looks, she was teased by the drunk Fan Tongzhi.

The wife of the Tongzhi sent Chi Nai back to Wuping County to serve Tongzhi Fan's mother.

When the Jiyang army entered Wuping County, Fan Tongzhi's mother took the servants and guards in the mansion and fled to Shangyang Prefecture.

The maids and servants in the house were thrown into Wuping County.

Chi Nai was smart. She took the opportunity to find her indenture, took some food, and fled to Luocheng with the fleeing people.

Unfortunately, as a weak woman, she came to Los Angeles and had to sell herself to a human trafficker in order to survive.

Han Qingyun knew what Lu Yanyan was worried about.

He himself had recently thought about buying someone.

It's such a pity that someone as capable as Lu Liang can only be a permanent attendant by his side.

But now, it is impossible for him to be without someone around him.

He hugged Lu Yanyan tightly and comforted her softly.

"Times have changed, and buying people is inevitable. Hiring workers isn't entirely reliable either. We have Da Hu and the others, so that's all we need."

Although he was talking about buying people, Han Qingyun still felt a little uneasy.

They had only been here for four months, but they had already been assimilated, which made him feel that his previous persistence was pretentious and ridiculous.

Han Qingyun sighed again, not knowing whether he was trying to convince Lu Yanyan or himself.

"Huai Jin and I will definitely enter the government in the future. It's impossible for us to not even have servants and attendants around us. Not only do we need these people, but they also have to be in life-long bonds."

Lu Yanyan nodded.

"I know, I just feel a little emotional."

"Although we don't uphold the principle of equality for all, we are good masters and won't beat or sell slaves at will. Following us is much better than being controlled by those with serious class-based thinking."

"Well, that's the only way I can comfort myself."

"Leave Huaiyu's affairs to me. I'll ask the Yan family to help find a foster nanny. Don't think too much and go to bed early."

Han Qingyun kissed Lu Yanyan's forehead, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next morning, Lu Yanyan and three others went to several villages under the jurisdiction of Mingyuan County.

They bought a large amount of star anise, cinnamon and cumin, and mixed it with some other things, and asked the villagers to help deliver it to the restaurant.

Whether it was Chi Nai and the others or myself, the materials we bought were not purchased according to the weight ratio.

It also contains a few ingredients that are not needed for making marinade.

This way, even if someone discovers the clue, they won't be able to determine the specific formula.

This time they bought much more than the 3,000 kilograms of marinade.

One is to confuse people's sight.

Another reason is that if Lu Fugui still needs her, she won't have to come to Mingyuan County in the short term.

As for whether it will be unused and wasted?

impossible.

Even if he doesn’t make marinades, Lu Yanyan can still use these things to make other things.

Because there were so many things to buy and there were four of us, one carriage was obviously not enough.

It just so happened that the two of them mentioned buying a carriage yesterday, and they are going to take action today.

Han Qingyun went to buy a carriage, and Lu Liang was looking at the goods on the carriage in the restaurant.

Lu Yanyan went shopping with Qin Yuru.

When passing by a cloth shop, the two suddenly heard a familiar female voice.

"No, I'm not their servant. They're talking nonsense..."
