After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

When the old acquaintances met each other, Ergou leaned on the door with his arms folded, feeling a little complacent.

"The Gu residence does not keep the master, but has a place where the master stays. Let me tell you, this Zhao residence is a hundred times better than the Gu residence."

Ergou used to be a bastard who liked to gamble, but since he came to the Zhao Mansion, he was determined to restrain himself, and gradually saved money in his pockets, and with the generous food in the Zhao Mansion, he looked rosy at the moment.

The servant of the Gu Mansion took a closer look, and said 'tsk tsk tsk': "Could it be that the treatment in the Zhao Mansion is better than that in the Hanlin Mansion?"

"Heh." Er Gou made a mocking sound, and said disdainfully, "What kind of thing is the Hanlin Mansion? It beats and scolds us servants, and also likes to deduct wages."

While speaking, Ergou raised his chin, almost tilted to the sky.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ergou went to Gu's family and said, "Daniu, let me tell you, not only the salary in Zhao's mansion is twice that of Hanlin's mansion, but also the owner and wife are friendly and approachable, and they have lunch every day." All have meat."

"Is there meat in the stew?"

Daniel's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and his innermost saliva proliferated.

You must know that ordinary people can only eat meat during the Chinese New Year. Although the Gu family is a big family, the servants eat simple food.

And this Zhao family actually feeds the servants every meal, it is really rich.

For a moment, Daniel was envious, thinking back to the last time he ate meat, he picked up the meat that Gu Hanlin dropped on the ground.

At that time, he washed it several times with clean water, and he was reluctant to chew it in his mouth. It took more than an hour to taste it before he was willing to eat it.

"Ahem." The butler's voice came from behind Ergou, "Ergou, who are you talking to?"

Ergou heard the steward's voice, turned around with a smile, and took out a letter from his pocket.

"Gu Hanlin's residence sent a letter, and I saw that you were not here, so I accepted it."

When Daniel saw that the housekeeper had arrived, he waved his hands and said hello, then left with a sigh.

The butler took the envelope and stuffed it in his sleeve, sent Ergou to chop firewood, and then went to the backyard without haste.

In the space of consciousness, Shen Xian hit the steering wheel with his small fist angrily, and his mouth was pouted, very dissatisfied.

The system that just won No.1 looked at Shen Xian unconvinced.Constantly replaying the picture of himself crossing the line and winning on the screen on his face.

"Damn it, it's almost there, come again."

Unwilling to admit defeat, Shen Xian planned to play another game, insisting on suppressing the arrogance of the system.

The system played a 'weak explosion' emoticon package, making Shen Xian furious.

"You can't start yet."

Shen Xian's little canine teeth rattled, since this ghost system has been updated a few times, it is getting worse and worse.

Humming a nursery rhyme, the system sent itself and Shen Xian back to the starting point, and when it was about to play another game, it suddenly stopped.

"Host, it seems that someone is looking for you in the real world."

Shen Xian, who was suffocating in his heart, was immediately discouraged when he heard the news.

"Wait for me, and I'll teach you a lesson about this ignorant pumping system when I'm busy."

"Hmph." The system put on the attitude of a boss, and said with disdain: "How dare a defeated general be so rampant!"

"quit!"

Shen Xian turned out of the kotatsu angrily, and opened the door with a bang.

The housekeeper saw that Shen Xian's expression was not very good, and thought he had disturbed her rest.

"Did the old slave disturb Madam's rest?"

Only then did Shen Xian feel that he had not restrained his emotions, and shook his head repeatedly.

"Nothing, I just thought of something unhappy."

Hearing this, the old housekeeper heaved a sigh of relief, and took out the letter from Gu Fu from his sleeve.

"Ma'am, this is from Gu Hanlin's residence, please have a look."

From the Gu family?Shen Xian frowned subconsciously.

Gu Lanshu in Gu's mansion would not send letters in idle time, if she thought about it, she would come here directly.

It was Gu Hanlin who sent the letter at such a short distance.

Every time Gu Hanlin appeared, nothing good happened, now that he suddenly sent a letter, Shen Xian felt very unhappy.

After tearing open the envelope, Shen Xian poured out an invitation card from the envelope.

On the red invitation card was written the word 'longevity'. When I opened it, it turned out that it was Gu Hanlin's birthday card, and the date was tomorrow.

After closing the door, Shen Xian sat back in the kotatsu, tapped the table with his fingers, and smiled slowly.

Shen Xian felt that Gu Hanlin would not invite himself and Zhao Shun for his birthday. After all, Gu Hanlin lost a lot of face in the God of Wealth Pavilion incident last time, and he was very dissatisfied with himself in his heart.

But Gu Hanlin still sent someone to send invitations, Shen Xian boldly guessed in his heart that Zhao Shun must have done well in the test this time.

Gu Hanlin works in the Hanlin Academy, and the exam papers are also graded by the Imperial Academy. Now he ignores the past, it must be because Zhao Shun has shown his worth.

As the saying goes, don't hit people with smiling faces, Shen Xian plans to go to Gu Hanlin's birthday gift, if you can make good friends, don't make bad friends.

Although Gu Hanlin was old and his working time was short, Shen Xian felt that he might be able to help Zhao Shun that day.

No matter how bad it is, it's better than this old guy stabbing a knife in the back.

It's just that after participating in the birthday banquet, a headache came, Shen Xian held his forehead in distress.

In this era of etiquette, gift giving is very particular, especially such birthday banquets and wedding banquets.

Shen Xian was reluctant to part with the gold, silver and jade objects, and felt that giving them to Gu Hanlin was like beating a dog with a meat bun.

But it's too cheap, and I can't afford it.

"Alas." Shen Xian sighed faintly, and muttered while lying on the table: "It's better for modern people to save trouble, just buy a cake and give them some wine."

As soon as the words fell, a gleam of brilliance flashed in Shen Xian's mind.

"Yes! Cake!"

Making cakes does not require any complicated modern techniques, and the materials are also very simple.

Nothing more than flour, milk, eggs and the like.

As long as you add a little creativity when making it, you can come up with a unique gift.

It may not be worth mentioning in modern times, but in this era, it is definitely eye-catching.

In this world, it is rare to see things that you have never seen before.

Shen Xian glanced at the water leak in the room, it was already noon.

Making a cake from scratch is not an easy task, time is tight and the task is heavy!

Although Shen Xian still wants to compete with the system, but the priorities are very important.

Reluctant to turn out of the kotatsu, Shen Xian went straight to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for the cake.

In the kitchen, the cook was preparing lunch, when she heard footsteps, she turned around and saw Shen Xian coming in, she quickly exclaimed.

"Madam, if you have nothing to do, don't come to the kitchen. If you have anything to eat, just ask me to make it."

The cook has worked in a rich family for many years, and she has never met a lady who likes to cook. Every time Shen Xian runs to the kitchen, the cook feels that her wages are not secure.

"You may not know what I made this time." Shen Xian smiled slightly.
