At the end of the year, the newspaper office was also busy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the 26th, two batches of movable copper type returned, and the workshop began to prepare for the expansion of the new year, and the distribution department quickly recruited a group of people to conduct training and expand the distribution team.

Although so far, the newspaper's income has been limited to advertisements for temples and Taoist temples, but the calm and calm performance of the president Jia Wei has made them full of confidence in the coming new year.

According to the arrangement of the newspaper, the publication and distribution of Yanjing Morning Post this year will end on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month until the sixth day of the first lunar month, a total of seven days off, which is unimaginable in the world of Jia Wei's previous life, and no newspaper of the nature of a daily newspaper will be suspended during the New Year's Festival.

But for the Yanjing Morning Post, it doesn't matter.

So far, the Yenching Morning Post is still the only modern newspaper with no competitors, so the decision to suspend publication was made without considering external factors.

If there is a competitor in the coming year, it will naturally make corresponding adjustments according to the actual situation.

In addition, now the Yenching Morning Post is only distributed for free, there are no paying users, and it is not inappropriate to suspend publication for a few days during the New Year's Day.

The newspaper office is on holiday, and the people in the house are no exception, everyone is on duty during this period, and everyone has a holiday of four to five days.

The people who were transferred from Rongfu to this side, including Musk Yue, Amber, Jin Chuan, Yu Chuan, etc., these big girls around Jia Wei, are all born in the family, and they are all elated when they learn that there are four or five days of New Year's holiday, although everyone will occasionally go back to Rongfu once or twice on weekdays to visit relatives and friends, but the meaning of the four or five days of vacation is different after all, but it can be a good reunion.

Of course, the holiday is on the one hand, on the other hand, whether it is a newspaper employee, or a house of people, before the New Year's Festival, there is a lot of reward, in the newspaper staff side, called the annual award, in the people's side, it is the year.

Whether it is an annual bonus or an annual example, in short, it will be paid according to the standard, which is twice the monthly salary or monthly salary of each individual, which can be described as generous.

For example, the year on the Rong Mansion side is only a month more, while here it is two months more, which is twice as high, and everyone is satisfied when compared to it.

……

The Jade Lion Hutong Mansion where Xiangling's master and servant live.

It was breakfast time, and the master and servant ate in the hall of Erjin, each with a bowl of gruel and a plate of pickles.

Since he came out of Xue's house that night and was left in this house by Jia Wei, breakfast has always been like this, lunch and dinner are slightly better, in addition to green vegetables and tofu, there will be occasional fish and meat.

This kind of food, not to mention compared with when they were in Xue's house at that time, is also shabby compared with the neighbors in the alley, but the two of them are used to it now, and they eat unhurriedly.

“…… Auntie, I got the letter today, and the old Song mother said that the work of pulping and washing clothes will be stopped at twenty-seven, and it will be sent over after the New Year's Eve. Zhen'er, who was sitting opposite Xiangling, said with big eyes while drinking porridge.

The old Song mother in her mouth is also a person in this alley, who has been contracting pulp washing and needlework outside for a long time, and then assigned to neighborhood women to do it, so as to earn some difference in wages.

After Xiangling's master and servant came, he also took it from her hand to do, although it was not every day, but it was a lot, so the monthly food and clothing were all pointed here, and saved more than one or two silver coins from it.

"Oh." Xiangling raised her head and smiled at Zhen'er, "Twenty-seven is almost the same, if you don't stop, it's the New Year...... Well, let's take advantage of this free time to live and dissipate our fatigue. ”

"Huh...... Aunt and Grandma don't say that they are tired on weekdays, but now they say it by themselves......" Zhen'er pursed her lips and smiled, and then said in a paused tone, "...... My aunt didn't know if I had heard that next year would be the emperor's 400,000th birthday, so this year's New Year's Eve was also very lively. ”

"Yuan Xi go out......" Xiangling was stunned, a little undecided.

It's not that she can recall that she was abducted when she was a child, or that she left a knot in her heart on Yuan Xi.

I was so young that I couldn't remember it at all.

She just isn't used to showing her face, speaking of which, since she arrived at Xue's house, she has stayed in the courtyard of the deep house, and the door has become a part of her upbringing, and she was thrown here by Jia Wei this time, it is still the case, she just stays in the courtyard, everything is run by Zhen'er, the personal maid, and now Zhen'er is talking about the difference of Yuan Xi, although she is not unmoved, but after all, she still hesitates.

"Auntie, you just go together, we don't stay in the deep house, and we are not restrained." Zhen'er pouted, on the day of the big festival, as a personal maid, if her aunt and grandmother don't go, she can't go alone.

“…… That's fine. Seeing Zhen'er looking at her, Xiangling couldn't help but relax and nodded.

Zhen'er breathed a sigh of relief, and her face was happy.

Then the master and servant talked about some other things, and talked back and forth, and now outside here, life is difficult, and there are not many rules of the past, as if eating at the same table at this moment, it is like a pair of sisters.

"Grandma, I'm done eating, you can use it slowly, I'll go out to buy meat." After a while, Zhen'er put down her chopsticks and got up and said to Xiangling.

"Buying meat?"

"Yes. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the price of meat will be several pennies more expensive, it is better to buy it now, it is cold and cold, and it will not break down there. ”

"It's true, then let's buy it, if there is anything missing, let's buy it together, so we still have more than four taels of silver."

"Hey."

Zhen'er answered, walked out of the threshold with a bamboo basket, and then turned around and said, "...... Auntie, it's almost the New Year, and Second Master Bao didn't come to take a look at you, does he really care about you? ”

"No, it won't."

After a moment of silence, there was a short response, and the sound of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks rang out in the room.
