She approached in small steps with a tray in her hand, the wound on her chest hadn't fully healed yet, and there was some slight dull pain.

The closer you get, the more clearly you can hear the conversation between Lin Miao and Xie Yan.

Lin Miaozheng said, "I told the cook to add two fish to the New Year's dishes."

Lin Miao just took a sip of tea, and her voice seemed to be much clearer when she spoke.Xie Yan didn't like the smell of fish, so Lin Miao forcibly added fish to the front, thinking about it now, it's better to tell Xie Yan, at least let him have a mental preparation.

In essence, it was Lin Miao who made a mistake, but because of his cautious eyes and careful tone at this time, after listening to Catecha, he felt that Lin Miao would inevitably have to be cautious in front of Xie Yan.

Xie Yan saw catecha coming over from the corner of his eyes, he didn't pay attention to it with his lowered eyes, he just looked down at Lin Miao and said, "Okay, I see."

Lin Miao gave him a look of "you deserve it".

Catechu had already walked beside them at this time, and the hand holding the tea was a little unsteady.Being too close to Xie Yan, catechu was still afraid after all.

Xie Yan had already turned around and walked towards the desk, and said as he walked: "If there is any dish that needs to be changed, you and the cook can discuss it, and don't worry about other people."

Lin Miao originally wanted to say, "I'm not you, why am I so picky." But with Catecha in front of him, it was hard for him to say that, so he just turned around and reached out to take the cup in Catecha's hand , and winked at Catechu again, telling her to leave the things and go out quickly.

Looking at this, Bicatecha was afraid that something would happen to her.

Catechu respectfully put things down and went down without stopping. When he reached the last step on the first floor, he saw a guard walking in from the door, holding a thick letter in his hand, and missed her. Went upstairs.

A guard sent a letter, and it was inevitable to have a few words with Xie Yan. Lin Miao felt that it was not convenient to stay here, so she randomly found a travel book and wanted to take it back to Qingqiu Courtyard to read.

When he went downstairs, Lin Miao saw that the catecha was still waiting downstairs. He had already gone out of the door, but after thinking about it, he retreated. He beckoned to the catecha and asked her to come to him, and then spoke in a low voice. Said: "Catecha, let the steward give you another job, I think your injury is still not fully healed, and the location of your injury is not trivial."

Although Lin Miao felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Catecha to return to Zangshuge to be on duty, it was not Catecha's fault after thinking about it.At this time, the little girl may be pretending to be a slave and a servant girl and has no intention of resisting, let alone blaming her master.

If catecha planned to stay here to continue serving because of this mentality, Lin Miao felt that she should persuade her.

Catecha said in a soft voice: "It's the servant who didn't serve her well that offended the master. It's the servant's fault in the first place, and if I change to another place, I won't have any sisters I know well. I'm a little afraid."

"It's not your fault." Lin Miao told catecha firmly, but if he explained this to catecha more now, catecha probably wouldn't understand, so he sighed slightly and didn't say anything further, just Said, "If that's the case, forget it, I'll go first."

Catechu bowed his knees and saluted lightly.

The day quickly came to New Year's Eve, and since early morning, the busyness in Qingqiu Courtyard has not stopped.

Xie Yan didn't care about these, Lin Miao took over all of them, he was still happy, he could do whatever he wanted, he had to live this year well.

The embroidery room in the palace received the news more than half a month ago, asking them to make some new winter clothes, and basically included all the women and girls in the Qingqiu courtyard, including Lin Miao and Xie Yan is also a set of one person.This cost is not small, and the poor Lin Miao decided to take advantage of Xie Yan in this matter after he calculated the score by himself, and it was all in Xie Yan's account.

In addition, the things rested on the first cargo ship that stopped at the South Gate Wharf this morning were sent to the palace. There were all kinds of fresh fish, shrimp and crabs, and some of them were even seafood, which were still alive.In addition, there are also fresh fruits brought in from the south, all of which are of good quality and sent here. Naturally, everything in Qingqiu Courtyard is the first.

The first thing Lin Miao did when he got up was to call Xiaojiu, first he gave Xiaojiu a red envelope of five taels of silver, and asked him to bring another red envelope to Xiaobao, which was a reward for his hard work for so long.

"It's been hard for you to go back and forth these days. This red envelope is just a little care from me. Next year, there will be many places where you will help run."

Xiao Jiu received the red envelope, although the amount was nothing compared to his monthly salary, but Lin Miao's words and his tone made the red envelope more sincere, which made Xiao Jiu feel On the contrary, the red envelope made him feel more at ease than the monthly salary. At this moment, he had a little understanding of how Xiao Ba could be so happy to be a cook. After all, Lin Miao was really good at coaxing others.

The red envelopes were given to Xiaojiu and Xiaobao, and Lin Miao gave another red envelope to Yuwen and Biru. This time, there were 30 taels of silver.Recently, the business of the food shop has temporarily stopped. There are also shops and decorations over there. Lin Miao's money is constantly flowing out. Now it is inevitable to count the money, and I feel that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month I will make good money in the future.

Before he finished sighing, all kinds of things in the yard were brought in.

Lin Miao heard movement in the house, opened the window and glanced out, and saw various items being carried into the yard, some went directly to the kitchen, and some stopped in the yard first, and when a cover was opened, the inside was exposed. A row of bright red strawberries came, and Lin Miao opened her eyes, as if she could smell the sweet smell from the air.

He simply went out to have a look.

The things were delivered by Li Guanshi himself, and he was still holding the list of items in his hand. When he saw Lin Miao came out, he handed the list to Lin Miao, and said to him with a smile: "Everything is here, please look over it, my lord. If there is anything I will let people prepare for the missing parts.”

Although Lin Miao mentioned a lot of things to prepare for the New Year, generally speaking, what he mentioned were some homely things that could be obtained casually, or things that were often eaten in Qingqiu Yuan.

Lin Miao ate little outside. Although he was familiar with the prices of various foods in the vegetable market, the things sold there were all the common people in the market.

Every month's expenses in each yard had to be recorded, so every expense on the list was clearly remembered, so that Lin Miao knew how much he ate every day.

He was shocked, and felt that his three views had been subverted. At the same time, he felt that he was caught between poverty and wealth, and he didn't know how to react.

Seeing that Lin Miao was silent, Manager Li asked, "What do you think, Mr. Lin?"

Me, me, I think it's so expensive!

Lin Miao looked at Guanshi Li with the list, and couldn't help but ask him under Li Guanshi's kind eyes: "How much does our yard cost a month?"

He didn't have any psychological burden to eat and live here, all he thought was that he and Biru would have two mouths, but who would have thought that even the rice in Qingqiu Courtyard would be made of gold.

Li Guanshi saw a lot of people, so he couldn't see what Lin Miao was thinking. Now he smiled and said cryptically, "The expenses in Qingqiu Yuan have always been stable, so you don't have to worry about it."

It means that they come here with you or without you.

Lin Miao changed her mind and decided to blame Xie Yan.After all, Guanshi Li has already said that Qingqiu Yuan is as extravagant without him, so Xie Yan has to take the blame.

"That's all, there's no need to add anything else." Lin Miao said with a painful face.

Because it was New Year's Eve, Chen Ning and Xie Yan also had a lot of things to do at noon, and prepared to celebrate the new year.

After the new year, Chen Ning was about to leave for the capital. He said that he would go to the capital in the first lunar month, but he guessed that when he really arrived in the capital, it would be almost the first lunar month.

Chen Ning and Xie Yan walked side by side, Chen Ning looked up at the sky and sighed, "This year is also a rare good year."

Xie Yan thought of Lin Miao in his yard, "Yes."

Chen Ning originally wanted to go back to his courtyard directly, but he didn't expect to see the bustling inside the courtyard when he passed the gate of Qingqiu courtyard, which was a bit lively like that of ordinary people's homes.This reminded Chen Ning that when he was still young, when his parents were alive, he spent good years in the palace with his brothers and sisters of the same father and mother.It's just that when I think about how old I am, and when I think about the current situation, the rift between me and my elder brother has gradually grown, and the brotherhood and family relationship back then turned out to be like an old dream.

Chen Ning stepped into the Qingqiu Courtyard, and there was some envy in his eyes that he couldn't hide, but when he spoke, his tone was relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Your place is probably the most lively place in the palace, it's very good, with a sense of the year. "

Lin Miao saluted with the servants. Seeing what Chen Ning said, and seeing the slightly lonely expression on his face, he felt a little inexplicably apologetic.This New Year's Eve doesn't seem to be good either.

Lin Miao simply said, "If your lord doesn't want to come and have a New Year's Eve dinner with us, I'll ask someone to ask Aunt Zhang if she's coming. We'll be more lively then."

Chen Ning was a little surprised that Lin Miao said this, but after thinking about it, he felt that the proposal was indeed good, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, you don't need to send someone to ask, I'm going there right now, and I'll tell her when the time comes That's it."

Then he turned and left, as if he couldn't wait to tell Aunt Zhang about it.

Lin Miao turned to look at Xie Yan and asked him, "Is there nothing wrong?"

Xie Yan shook his head, "It's okay, the Chinese New Year should indeed be more lively."

It was cold outside, so he took Lin Miao into the house, and asked Lin Miao, "Is there anything missing? There are several ships at the pier that are not leaving today. They are all their own cargo ships with a lot of stuff on them."

Lin Miao couldn't help trembling because of Xie Yan's local tyrant aura, and thinking about his earning ability, Lin Miao's self-satisfied mood suddenly turned into a scumbag.

He coughed and said, "I think it's already very good, because I'm a person who is easy to satisfy and likes the life of ordinary people very much."

Xie Yan nodded, followed by saying, "Well, me too."

"You too?" Lin Miao asked Xie Yan.

Xie Yan explained: "I also like the lives of ordinary people."

Lin Miao thought about the usual food and living expenses of Qingqiu Academy, and He Guang sent them here early this morning for the rare treasures of the Chinese New Year, and felt that Xie Yan, a extravagant person, could say what he just said was really embarrassing.

"You better be!" Lin Miao said fiercely.
