Dong Nuan has recently promoted Uncle Qin, who followed them all the way from the capital, as housekeeper.
In fact, Uncle Qin is quite capable, but he injured his leg in the past and had a slight limp on one leg when he walked, so he was reluctant to do these things for fear of losing the face of his master's family if he went out to socialize or something like that.
You don't need to worry about these things when driving a carriage, and you don't need to meet the masters much, so the coachman is very good.
After Dong Nuan discovered his ability, he directly transferred him to the inner courtyard and began to take care of all the affairs of the house.
They don't have many things to do now, and Uncle Qin can handle it completely, and it's easy to get started.
Dong Nuan was ready to discuss things like giving year-end bonuses to employees and giving gifts to bosses.
Of course, all the items that need to be purchased are also prepared.
Dong Nuan negotiated with Uncle Qin, and after a while, Uncle Qin took people to Fucheng to purchase.
Of course, by the way, I also sent over the New Year’s gifts from Fucheng.
There are also several officials, big and small, in Fucheng, with different ranks, so the gift lists are naturally different.
Prefect Xu’s gift was the heaviest, and the other adults didn’t give anything too light.
Uncle Qin has been busy with New Year's gifts these days. The gift list has already been contacted by Dong Nuan. He can just arrange for it to be delivered.
The ones in the prefecture have been delivered, 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, he realized that it was already the new year, and their construction was not bad these days, so they still had to take necessary holidays.
Therefore, at the beginning of the Lunar New Year, all workshops stopped working, as did the mountaineering teams and baking kilns. Except for the necessary personnel on duty, everyone else could go back to the county office to celebrate the New Year.
The people left behind were not stingy in the warm winter, so they gave away two pigs and two sheep.
In fact, most of the staff still stay 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 manpower is still needed.
Dianthus has not stopped there, and I will definitely send more things for winter warmth.
In addition to these things, Dongnuan also gave a deer and other items as a gift.
Anyway, the employee benefits are pretty good, and with Dianthus painting a big cake, everyone is working very hard.
What's New Year's Eve? It's a Chinese New Year celebration. It's not necessary.
Most of those who can follow Dong Nuan all the way from Beijing no longer have family members, so what are you thinking about 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.
Fulfilling and rewarding!
Dong Nuan also gave New Year's gifts to several minor officials under her, without being stingy.
Everyone is a pig.
Dong Nuan bought a lot of pigs from Fucheng. Looking at the consumption, Dong Nuan fell into deep thought.
She is already planning to open up a piece of open land next year, mainly for raising pigs and sheep.
This prevents you from having to buy it now when you need it. Sometimes it is not easy to buy it.
Liu Xian Cheng and the others probably didn't expect that the newly appointed magistrate would be so grand.
Fabrics, candies, pastries, etc. are not included for the time being.
This pig...
And he is quite strong, weighing more than 100 kilograms, even if the bones are removed, he weighs dozens of kilograms. If you have a small family, you can eat sparingly, and you can probably eat him for more than half a year.
Some people can even eat it for a year!
"Hello, Master Han!" Even the most cunning Zhang Dianshi couldn't help but sigh.
His mother-in-law is a tough woman, and she has made a lot of money in Dongnuan in the past six months.
Now who dares to tell her that the new eldest master is not good, or that the princess is not good, she can go forward and tear him apart.
When she heard what her man said, the woman puffed up her chest proudly and said, "Of course, the princess' man will definitely be good!"
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 that expression on your face? Do you disagree?"
While he was talking, the fire sticks were already being picked up.
Zhang Dianshi was so frightened that he ran away without even wearing any shoes. He screamed as he ran, "Mom, please save me!"
The old lady was watching the pigs. When she heard her son's screams, she couldn't help but turn around and trot back to the main house. At the same time, she whispered: "Can't hear it, can't hear it, can't hear it..."
Zhang Dianshi:......!
!
You are my mother-in-law!
In the end, Zhang Dianshi received two sticks and repeatedly assured that he was completely satisfied with the eldest master and the princess and could not say anything bad about them. Only then did Zhang Dianshi satisfy his wife.
Other people's homes may not be as noisy as theirs, but they are still surprising enough.
What a pig!
This New Year’s gift is really real!
After Magistrate Xu heard about this incident, he went to ask his wife what the New Year's gift from Hanjiang Tower was to him.
He was so afraid of being a pig.
However, I still have some expectations in my heart. What's going on?
Ms. Qiao didn't quite understand what he was thinking. She had already read the gift list from Hanjiang Tower.
The etiquette in Kochi Prefecture is similar to that in previous years. There are occasional adjustments to a few things, but nothing special.
"It's almost the same as in previous years when Kochi County was here. What's wrong?" Mrs. Qiao was puzzled and asked in a low voice.
Magistrate Xu couldn't believe it and asked uncertainly: "There are no pigs?"
Mr. Qiao was even more confused: "What kind of pig?"
Magistrate Xu couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or something else. He muttered in a low voice: "It turns out there are no pigs, so why are we treating them differently?"
After others heard about this incident, they felt a little disgusted in their hearts, but in their disgust, they also had secretly frustrated expectations, and they didn't know what kind of mentality they had.
Anyway, I have mixed feelings.
Lizhou is too far away from the capital. Without the holy will, Prefect Xu does not need to return to the capital every year to report on his duties.
But New Year's gifts and so on must still be sent to the capital.
We maintain the most basic relationship, and we may not be able to go back one day.
Although he actually thinks that life here is quite good, and there is nothing wrong with it except for being poor.
At least, comfortable.
However, the ambition is still there in the end. I always think, if there is a chance, I can climb up again?
Prefect Xu's annual gift was given out in mid-December.
Dong Nuan was delivered a little late here. It is estimated that it will be almost the Lantern Festival when we arrive 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 him in eight or nine days.
Moreover, the climate in the northwest is not good, and there will be heavy snowfall this year that will block roads, so it might be easy to get lost.
Furthermore, Dong Nuan is really busy now and has no time to pass.
Therefore, I only put a little more thought into the New Year's gifts.
Not only were items prepared for Cao Xinyao, but they were also prepared for her children.
In addition to Cao Xinyao, there are also good friends and friends from the Cao Mansion in the capital and the eldest princess's mansion.
As for the Dong family in Xiaowan Village, they naturally have winter and spring to worry about.
The winter warmth of the Dong family can be ignored, but the contact with the clan leader cannot be left behind.
But this matter is actually easy to handle.
All the tax revenue in Xiangshui County belongs to her, so she will set aside part of it and ask Gou Qingyun to help arrange it and send it to the clan leader.
This money is not for the clan leader, but for clan leaders.
