Naturally, it was impossible for Guanshi Meng to come alone to send the monthly silver and annual gifts. He was accompanied by a coachman and a few nursing homes. At first glance, people who were not familiar with him thought he was the master.

Sending a steward that the master needs to use in front of him to give gifts to Ji Xuanhe, the eldest son who was separated from the family, others thought how good Ji's mansion treated Ji Xuanhe!I really want both face and face, how can things be so beautiful, Yunzhou government knows everything that should be known, but it has not been spread to Yangjiabu.

Those who can be favored by the master must have some ability. Manager Meng has good etiquette, and he also looks respectful towards Shao Yunchen, but he doesn't know how to despise him in his heart.

"Boss Meng, please take this trip, why don't you rest and leave tomorrow?" Shao Yunchen said politely.

"Second young master, I don't want to trouble you anymore. Thanks to the love of the master, the house is busy, and there is still room for the servant, so the servant must go back quickly."

"Since this is the case, then I won't delay you. This is the list of annual gifts for this year, and I'd like to trouble Manager Meng to bring along the annual gifts for the Shao Mansion." Shao Yunchen asked people to put the prepared annual gifts into the carriage, and Manager Meng Indeed, he didn't stay for a moment, and as soon as the New Year's ceremony was moved, he boarded the carriage and drove away.

Shao Yunchen couldn't help laughing, even a manager looked down on them so much, I really don't know where they have such courage.Don't look at it from the outside, but look at what he did, who doesn't know what he thinks.

It's not the first time we've met, there's no need to be upset by such a trivial matter.It's just to watch people order food, he has seen a lot in Shao's mansion.

"Boss Meng, the second young master is a sick child, and the family property he gets is small, which is probably only enough for him to see a doctor and take medicine. Why do you have to be so respectful to them?"

"This is why I am in charge and you are still a follower. In the future, remember to keep three points in doing things, and just greet people with a smile."

"Hey, Manager Xie Meng for your advice. Today I ate the tea from the Second Young Master's house, and the taste is not as good as the one that Manager Meng usually uses. Hey, it seems that the Second Young Master's family is not well off!"

Meng Guanshi: "As long as they don't get overwhelmed and embarrassed, they are capable. It's not easy to raise the second young master. You see, the second young master came forward to receive the annual gift today, so the second young master must be in poor health. Now, let me take a look at the gift list, hehe , It’s no different from last year. The food they send is common food. They also have some brains. There are a few of these food that they can use. "

"Yeah, who in our mansion has already married young and old, who would give such a shabby New Year's gift? They really want to do this, and they won't be laughed at? Even if they have children and grandchildren, they won't be like this. It's only the second young master's ability, Don’t swell your face to pretend to be fat, and if you don’t have any money, you will send some products from the village, plus some worthless dried seafood, which looks decent at first glance, and others think it’s a good gift.”

"Don't say that. Dried seafood is not very valuable here. When it comes to Yunzhou Prefecture, the price will at least double, and it's not something ordinary people can afford." Meng Guanshi is right, dry goods, in itself It is more expensive than fresh goods, and it is shipped to Yunzhou Prefecture more than 200 miles away. The price is really unbearable for ordinary people. Only ordinary people who really like it will grit their teeth and buy one and a half.Besides, not every family has a good cook. If the fishy smell of the seafood is not suppressed, the taste will not be so good.

Manager Meng and his party drifted away while chatting and laughing.

"What did you give away, the same as last year?" Ji Xuanhe was sitting on the kang reading a thousand-character text. He could read a little more, so he didn't have to hide it anymore. It was a bit difficult to pretend that he had just learned all day.

"Here, see for yourself, it's about the same as last year."

"Well, let me see, my monthly silver is 60 taels a year, and yours is only 36 taels. The mansion gave me an extra four taels, so I made it up. Why don't you add an extra 100 taels? That's all, except There are only a handful of real annual rites except for the yearly exceptions." Ji Xuanhe didn't have anything to think about, "I think if it wasn't for the pressure from the clan, the eldest lady would not even give the annual allowances."

"Well, it looks like you are better than me, but in fact, you are worse than me. At least Mrs. Wang is just my stepmother. There is a saying that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. You are a real father and a mother." , why do you look like a stepfather and stepmother?" Shao Yunchen is not curious, but Ji Xuanhe was always sick in the past, but now he has improved, so he happened to be talking about this topic, and asked without thinking .

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted it. Isn't this adding salt to Ji Xuanhe's wound?He looked carefully, and found that Ji Xuanhe didn't show a sad expression, so he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm also wondering. It seems that I was not liked by the eldest lady when I was born. After the fourth brother was born, she couldn't tolerate me. Whatever, it's good here. There is no shortage of food and clothing, and you don't have to deal with the elders. I'm much more at ease."

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, Shao Yunchen took out a pen and paper, and began to draw up a list of necessities for the New Year.The population of Ji's family is simple, with two masters and sons, and there are only thirteen people including servants, so there is no need to buy too much.

Compared with last year's list, it's almost enough to add some more.After the ink was dry, Shao Yunchen handed the list to Ji Xuanhe, and asked him to see if there was anything else he needed to add.

Ji Xuanhe took the list and thought for a while: "We have two Zhuangzi, let's choose a name to distinguish them, otherwise it will be difficult to call them, so we can't call them Dazhuangzi and Xiaozhuangzi, right? What do you think?"

Shao Yunchen also agreed very much: "Okay, the younger one is called Anzhuang, and the older one is up to you."

"Since there is Anzhuang, the older one should be called Ningzhuang. You can tell that we are together." Ji Xuanhe took advantage of the situation and didn't need to bother thinking about the name at all. For the food we eat, we can grow some of the food that can be grown locally, and the same is true for vegetables. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive to buy in Kangping County, and it is not very cost-effective.”

"Okay, but this will consume more manpower, it's too fragmented." Over the past year, Shao Yunchen has gradually become familiar with farming.

"It doesn't take much work, and we don't need to plant a lot. We can eat for a long time by planting a few cents and a half of each species. The rest will remain as before."

"Okay, just do as you say."

"Buy more sweets, pastries, candied fruit and so on. Last year, because I was sick, I didn't open the door to welcome guests. This year, since I'm in better health, I will inevitably go to the village to do as the Romans do. I heard that the same is true of several other landlords in the village. We Do the same, and it won't cost a lot of money. As for the others, you and Uncle Qiu can watch and buy them. We didn't think of it for a while, and we can remember things when we arrive in the county." Ji Xuanhe didn't want to walk too much with the villagers , but I don't want to be special.This is the case for New Year's Day, but not for other festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival and Laba.

Early the next morning, Uncle Qiu took Shao Yunchen to Kangping County.Not only Shao Yunchen, but even the servants of Ji's family were afraid that Ji Xuanhe would get sick again. Ji Xuanhe would not be allowed to go out in such cold weather, so he had to stay in the room alone.

These days, his energy is better than when he first came here. Taking advantage of no one disturbing him, he simply entered the writing system and started to code like a little bee.

Up to now, the outflow of the system currency is still greater than the inflow. Fortunately, with the original foundation, it should be able to cover the consumption.

Ji Xuanhe looked at the comment area first.

"Qiu Da, please update. It takes three to five days to update three thousand words. My hair is turning white after waiting. ╭(╯3╰)╮"

"Scattering flowers, update, update, autumn leaves are big, why do I think the more you write, the better? Is it just my illusion?"

"It's not an illusion, I think so too, please update +2"

"Scatter flowers, please update +3"

……

There are not many people commenting, and most of those who persist until now are loyal readers of the work, and some are even his personal loyal fans.For an author like him who doesn't update frequently and keeps updating from time to time, Ji Xuanhe is also very pleased that there are so many readers who keep following his novels.

With his second-rate writing level, but his subscription results are only third-rate, there are actually a few alliance leaders, and there is even a small bronze alliance. The readers seem to be quite hardworking.Just for these readers, Ji Xuanhe will not give up writing.

Ji Xuanhe did not reply to the readers one by one, but only informed Xiao Bing, the person in charge of the comment area and the only reader group administrator, about the latest developments.This is the only Bronze League in his current serialized novels. The person in charge of the comment area and the reader group manager were all proposed and assumed by him spontaneously.

Xiao Bing sounds like a girl's name, but it's actually a big boy.He started following Ji Xuanhe's first novel, and by the time of the third book, he had become a die-hard fan of Ji Xuanhe.Xiao Bing is young, he has been chasing articles for more than ten years, and he is not yet 30 years old.Currently working, I manage the book review area and readership in my free time.

Any reader who can follow the article to the present has a relatively high degree of loyalty to the novel. For example, when Ji Xuanhe suddenly disappeared for 20 days when he traveled to the Jin Dynasty last time, he did not lose many readers, which is the best proof.

The passage of time in the two worlds seems to be synchronized, and the customs there are also similar. It is the end of the year, and Xiao Bing seems to be on vacation.As soon as Ji Xuanhe sent the message, there was a quick reply.

Xiao Bingv: Qiuye Da, let’s not talk about breaking updates, but in the past at least the update was every one or two days, why now it’s three or five days, are you very busy?

Akiba: Well, there is something wrong with my body. I need to recuperate. I can only type a few hundred words a day. It’s better now. The update period was even slower after the last update, and there will be more and more updates in the future. Yes, when my body recovers, I can’t guarantee too much, and it’s still no problem to change [-] words a day. o(n_n)o Xiao Bingv: Akiba is big, pay attention to your body, it is better to update slowly than make the condition worse.

Then the comment area was occupied by a page full of sticky tipping red letters, and the comment area suddenly became lively.
