Mingyue's brain was moving quickly, and it didn't take long for her to finalize what she was going to send.

Yu Jiayan immediately guessed her plan, "You want to make dim sum yourself?" ”

Mingyue nodded, "If you go to buy it, it's boring." ”

Yu Jiayan patted her arm, "Then I'll go buy tea now." ”

Mingyue grabbed Yu Jiayan, "Doesn't our family also have good tea sent by others, just use that top." ”

Yu Jiayan nodded, "Then I'll let Ping An go and talk to the eldest brother later." ”

Mingyue was just about to nod, but suddenly remembered another thing that was placed in the warehouse and dusted, "I remember that our family has a set of celadon vases of the four gentlemen of Meilan, Zhuju, and Ju?" ”

Yu Jiayan nodded, "Are you going to give that set of bottles to Gu Zhixian together?" ”

Mingyue bowed slightly, "Do you think it's okay or not?" ”

"It should be okay, after all, although that set of bottles is beautiful, it is not a valuable thing, and it will not involve corruption and other issues."

Yu Jiayan didn't have any superfluous emotions such as distress or reluctance, he was a farmer's child in the end, and he didn't like this kind of purely ornamental thing as much as those who loved vassal elegance, so he and Mingyue coincidentally put it into the warehouse and fell into the dust.

The two discussed it slightly, and finally decided to give the tea and bottles to Gu Zhixian in the name of the two families, so that the pressure on Gu Zhixian to receive gifts would undoubtedly be even more meager.

Everything was ready, and the two of them washed up and rested on the kang together.

This night, Yu Jiayan was very restrained - after all, his little daughter-in-law will go to see the daughter-in-law of the county lord tomorrow, and it is inevitable that it will be out of place if the toss is too much.

The next day, Mingyue, who had rarely slept well for several days, got up early in the morning, and after breakfast, she washed her hands and began to make jujube cakes and egg rolls.

These two small snacks, one soft and sweet, the other crispy and delicious, are the two favorite flavors of children.

***

"The student has met the magistrate."

"I've seen Lord Zhixian."

Inside the county office, in the small courtyard where Gu Zhixian's family temporarily lived, the Ming family, Mingyue, and Yu Jiayan all bowed or bent their knees in front of Gu Zhixian.

"Hurry up and excuse me." Gu Zhixian smiled very happily, he stretched out his hand to pull up Ming Xu and Yu Jiayan, who were closest to him, and then gave Mrs. Ming a junior salute after Ming Xu introduced his family, and even made a gesture to Xie and called her "sister-in-law".

The two hearts that Mrs. Ming and Mrs. Xie had originally hung high were suddenly put back into their stomachs, and the fear born because of seeing officials quickly dissipated in Gu Zhixian's bright smile.

"Husband." A crisp and hearty female voice sounded in the main room, and everyone heard the voice, and then they saw a young woman in a muslin garment walking out with the curtain open.

Although the woman's complexion was ruddy and her spirit was very vigorous, the skin on her hands, face, and neck was slightly rough, and she looked like she had worked in the fields herself.

"This is the Humble Jing Liu." Gu Zhixian first explained the identity of this woman to the people of the Ming family, and then introduced the people of the Ming family to her one by one.

Liu's smile is hearty and sincere, and when he meets Mrs. Ming, he is also a junior courtesy.

After everyone finished greeting each other, she affectionately took Mrs. Ming's arm and invited the ladies to sit in the main landlord's house, "My mother is not in good health and couldn't come out to greet you in person, please don't be surprised." ”

How dare Mrs. Ming blame the county magistrate's mother-in-law, she waved her hand again and again to show that she didn't mind these at all, "No blame, no blame, I'm a lot older, can I still not know that once this person is old, his body is not as good as when he was young?" You let the old lady just rest. ”

In fact, to be precise, Gu Zhixian's mother does not belong to the level of "lady".

In this era where Mingyue is now, only the wives and mothers of officials above the second rank can be named "Mrs."

As for the wives and mothers of officials of the third rank and below, the rule followed by the imperial court was that the third rank was to seal the lady, the fourth rank to the Gongren, the fifth rank to the pleasant person, the sixth rank to the Anren person, and the seventh rank to the widow.

Of course, Mrs. Ming's calling Mrs. Gu "old lady" is not a violation, this is just a common name for officials and dependents.

Everyone gossiped and entered the main landlord's house, and successively saluted Mrs. Gu, who was supported by Mrs. Gu Liu to sit on the kang table, and then withdrew from the main landlord's house where Mrs. Gu was recuperating.

At this time, the two mule carts that pulled the gifts given by the Ming family and the Yu family were parked outside the courtyard of the Gu family by a small servant of the Ping An and Ming families, and everyone went to the gate of the courtyard together.

"What's this?" Seeing the little guy who followed him moving things bag by bag, basket by basket, basket by basket, bucket by bucket, Gu Zhixian almost thought that there was something wrong with his eyes.

He wanted to ask Ming Xu and Yu Jiayan, "Didn't you already bring a gift here?" ”

But because this is the gate of the courtyard, and not far from the courtyard, there is still an old man who guards the door of the Cheng family in the next county, and he still hasn't said the next sentence.

However, Ming Xu and Yu Jiayan deliberately raised the volume of their own speech, and Ming Xu was the first to speak, "They are all local specialties of our own Zhuangzi, don't believe you, this is artichoke, this is sweet potato, this is frozen persimmon, this is salted duck egg..."

While the little servant of the Ming family was moving things inside, Ming Xu motioned to Gu Zhixian to look at the baskets, barrels and baskets that had been moved.

He skilfully skipped the relatively valuable lotus roots, fresh fish, live shrimp, and vegetable oil in this season and this area, and the old man who was the janitor of the Cheng family in the next county listened to Ming Xu from a distance, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching again and again.

When it was Yu Jiayan's turn, the corners of his mouth twitched even more, why do you say? Of course, it is because Yu Jiayan has completely inherited Ming Xu's way of speaking that avoids the important just now.

Listen to what he has reported, "... A bag of sweet potato vermicelli, a bag of artichoke vermicelli, a bag of Yumai noodles, two versions of frozen tofu, two small jars of bean curd, two boxes of dried fruits, a basket of dried mushrooms, a basket of small greens, a basket of raw chestnuts, a basket of frozen pears..."

The old man couldn't listen any longer, turned around and went back to the small courtyard where his adults lived next door.

"What are they?"

In the small study room belonging to the county lord in the courtyard next door, the old man who was guarding the door was bowing down to salute the county lord, and when he heard his question, the old man was busy and lowered his head slightly, "I inquired, all the water is produced in their own Zhuangzi, I heard that there are sweet potatoes, artichokes, eggs, duck eggs, vermicelli, noodles, bean curd, mushrooms, vegetables, chestnuts, frozen pears, frozen persimmons and so on." ”

The more he listened to it, the more strange his expression became, and it took him a while before he waved his hand to let the old man go down.

When the door of the study was carefully closed by the old man, the direction of the inner room of the study slowly turned out of a person, who was the head of the county government.
