The lady may not be human

Dongnuan has recently promoted Uncle Qin, who followed them all the way from the capital, as a housekeeper.

In fact, Uncle Qin is quite capable, but he hurt his leg before, and when walking on one leg, he was a little limp, so he was not willing to do these things, fearing that it would be bad if he would lose face to his master if he had to socialize or something.

You don't need to worry about these things when driving a carriage, and you don't need to meet those masters very much, so the driver is very good.

After Dong Nuan discovered his ability, he was directly transferred to the inner courtyard, and began to take care of the big and small matters of the house.

Now they don't have much to do, Uncle Qin can handle it completely, and it's easy to get started.

To give year-end bonuses to employees, and to give gifts to bosses, Dongnuan is going to discuss with him.

Of course, everything that needs to be purchased is also prepared.

Dongnuan discussed with Uncle Qin, and in a few days, Uncle Qin took people to Fucheng to purchase.

Of course, by the way, I also sent the annual gifts from Fucheng.

There are also several officials of different sizes in Fucheng, and the ranks are different, so the gift lists are naturally different.

Prefect Xu's things were the heaviest, and the other adults didn't give too light ones.

Uncle Qin has been busy with the New Year's ceremony these few days. He has already met Dong Nuan with the gift list, so he can arrange for someone to send it over.

The deliveries in Fucheng are over, and there are also those in the county.

Of course, there is also the dormitory in Huiguang Village.

Dong Nuan originally wanted to improve the food, but after thinking about it, they are young, and their construction is not bad these days, and there are still necessary holidays.

Therefore, from the beginning of the new year, all workshops stopped working, and the mountain opening team and the roasting kiln also stopped. Except for the necessary on-duty personnel stationed, everyone else can go back to the county office for the New Year.

For the left-behind staff, Dong Nuan was not stingy, and directly sent two pigs and two sheep.

In fact, most of the staff are still in Huiguang Village, because there are a lot of things that need to be taken care of. In addition, the flowers in the flower field are not on holiday, so people are still needed.

Shizhu didn't stop there, Dongnuan must have sent more things.

In addition to these things, Dongnuan also sent a deer, and other items were also sent.

Anyway, the employee benefits are good, and there is a big pie made of carnations, everyone is working very hard.

What New Year's Eve? It's not necessary for Chinese New Year.

Most of those who can follow Dongnuan all the way from the capital have no family members, so what are you thinking at this time?

Facing the lights of New Year's Eve, do you feel sorry for yourself?

No need!
It's better to work and make money.

Enriched and rewarded!

Dong Nuan also gave New Year's gifts to the few petty officials under his command, and he was not stingy.

Everyone is a pig at the bottom.

Dongnuan bought a lot of pigs from Fucheng. Looking at the consumption, Dongnuan fell into deep thought.

She is already preparing to open up a piece of open land next year, which will be mainly used to raise pigs and sheep.

In order not to need to use it, you have to buy it now, and sometimes it is not easy to buy it.

Liu Xiancheng and the others probably didn't expect that the newly appointed magistrate would be so grand.

Cloth, candy and cakes are not counted for the time being.

this pig...

And it's quite strong, more than a hundred catties, and it weighs dozens of catties without the bones. If you have a small family, save some food, and you can eat it for more than half a year.

Some people can even eat it for a year!
"Master Han!" Even the most cunning Zhang Dianshi couldn't help but sigh softly.

His mother-in-law is tough, and she has made a lot of money with Dongnuan in the past six months.

Now who dares to tell her that the new grand master is not good, or the princess is not good, she can go forward and tear him apart.

At this time, when she heard her man say this, the woman proudly puffed her chest out and said, "Of course, the princess's man will definitely not be bad!"

Zhang Dianshi: ...

He didn't know what to say for a moment, and his expression was a little complicated.

Seeing him like this, the woman was unhappy at the time, her eyes widened, and she shouted angrily, "What's your expression? Do you disagree?"

While speaking, the fire stick was picked up.

Zhang Dianshi was so frightened that he ran all the way without his shoes on, screaming as he ran, "Mother, mother, save me!"

The old lady was looking at the pig, and when she heard her son screaming, she couldn't help turning around, trotting all the way back to the main house, and at the same time whispering: "Can't hear, can't hear, can't hear..."

Zhang Dianshi: ...! ! !
You are my mother!
In the end, Zhang Dianshi received two sticks, and he assured again and again that he was completely satisfied with the Elder Master and the princess, and he couldn't say anything bad, which made his wife satisfied.

Other people's homes may not be as noisy as theirs, but they are also surprising enough.

A pig!
This year's ceremony is really real!
After Xu Zhifu heard about this incident, he went to ask his wife what the New Year gift was given to him by Hanjiang Tower.

He was afraid of being a pig.

However, what's the matter with some vague expectations in my heart?
Mrs. Qiao didn't quite understand his thoughts. She had read the gift list from Hanjiang Tower early in the morning.

The etiquette in Kochi Prefecture is similar to that of previous years, and the occasional adjustment of a few things is nothing special.

"It's almost the same as when Kochi County was in the past, what's wrong?" Mrs. Qiao asked in a low voice, puzzled.

Xu Zhifu couldn't believe it, and asked uncertainly: "No pigs?"

Qiao Shi was even more at a loss: "What kind of pig?"

Xu Zhifu couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or what, he muttered softly: "So there are no pigs, why are they treated differently?"

After other people heard about this incident, they felt a little bit disgusted in their hearts, but in the disgust, they also had dark expectations, and they didn't know what kind of mentality this was.

Anyway, the mood is complicated.

Lizhou is too far away from the capital. If there is no holy will, the magistrate Xu does not need to return to Beijing every year to report on his duties.

But the New Year gift or something must be given to the capital.

Maintaining the most basic relationship, maybe one day I will be able to go back.

Although he actually thinks that the life here is quite good, except for being poor, there is nothing wrong with it.

At least, at ease.

However, the ambition is still there, always thinking, if there is a chance, how about climbing up?

The prefect Xu's annual gift had already been given out in mid-December.

Dongnuan's delivery was a bit late, and it is estimated that the Lantern Festival will soon be over in the capital.

However, she is now closer to Cao Xinyao, but the road is not easy to walk, and she will not be able to reach Cao Xinyao in eight or nine days.

Moreover, the weather in the northwest is not good, and there will be heavy snow this year to block the roads, so it may be easy to get lost.

Furthermore, Dongnuan is really busy now, and there is no time to pass.

Therefore, I only paid more attention to the annual ceremony.

Not only did they prepare a set of items for Cao Xinyao, but they also prepared for her children.

In addition to Cao Xinyao, there are also Cao Manor in the capital, and all the good friends and friends from the eldest princess' mansion gave them away.

As for the Dong family in Xiaowan Village, Dong Sanchun naturally had to worry about it.

Dongjia Dongnuan can be ignored, but the contact with the patriarch must not be left behind.

But this matter is actually easy to handle.

All the taxes in Xiangshui County belong to her, and some of them will be taken out and sent to the patriarch with Gou Qingyun's help.

This money is not for the patriarch, but for the clan.
