Chapter 29 The Elder Gifts

Nowadays, there are also women in the official boudoir who learn cooking, but they only learn a few specialty dishes, and occasionally show their hearts for the elders and distinguished guests. Home-cooked food, daily diet is naturally taken care of. Tea cooking is an elegant skill, since the ladies show poetry meeting, the ladies are indispensable to taste tea and talk about tea.

Yiyi saw that there was no discoloration on the face of the king of the county, so she asked Jasmine to help serve tea, and ordered Xianglan to receive the two things sent to the inner room. I brought my second aunt inside to see Father Lin's condition, and at this time, the doctors discussed the diagnosis for a long time.

"Lin Mingzan, Ling Zun has almost no external injuries, but he has been unconscious for days, and he is afraid that there will be injuries in his skull. At present, the only way to do this is to consider the medication to see the after-effects. "All the imperial doctors were dumbfounded, and they were at a loss.

Yiyi knows that this is the medical skills of this era that are helpless against intracranial injuries and intracranial hemorrhage. Even in modern treatments for severe intracranial injuries, the success rate is extremely low.

"Then I'm bothering you to make a prescription!" Yiyi spoke calmly.

The second lady was very surprised to see that Yiyi was not panicked at all, and she did not plead.

"After Xing Tidian returns to the palace, we will face the saint together, how is Lin Zheng's injury, or you can tell it more clearly." The words of the little county king made Imperial Doctor Xing even more worried.

The more worried the emperor was about Lord Lin's recovery, the greater the pressure on the hospital. "His Royal Highness the King of the County, Miss Lin, please rest assured, the Tai Hospital will do its best to treat Lord Lin, and you will never dare to slack off!"

"I'm sorry for Xing Ti, so please worry about it!" Yiyi knows the kindness of the county king, and can also understand the difficulties of the hospital.

"The prince of the county has bothered, you doctors have worked hard!" Seeing that the diagnosis and treatment inside was over, Ma Shi hurriedly greeted: "For the sake of the uncle's injury, everyone is tired." The little girl specially cooked new tea and asked everyone to move to the courtyard and take a break. ”

"Thank you Madame for your kindness, it's time for Shen now, I still need to rush back to the palace to resume my life, so it's inconvenient to stay longer." There was a middle-aged subordinate officer of medium height and slightly chubby body who looked at the county king's gesture before refusing.

I don't know if it's today, whether it's because of today's son, whether it's because of his good conduct or because His Royal Highness the King of the county is born with a good character, and even the subordinates around him treat people with kind words.

Ma didn't dare to think that he would be able to ask for the face of the prince of the county once, so he hurriedly responded and beckoned his daughter to accompany the uncle and send off the guests.

"Lin Mingzan, I will go back to the palace first to clarify the situation, and you can take care of Lord Lin at home first. When will I go back to the yamen to order something, and I will let you know when I will give you the wind tomorrow night. “

"Thank you! Your Highness has saved me a lot of trouble. "There is a shortage of manpower here, and it is indeed time-consuming, laborious and inconvenient to go back and forth to Honglu Temple to inquire.

When the guests' carriages and horses turned around the corner of Qingyun Lane and disappeared, everyone returned home.

"There are no servants in your garden, and there is a great shortage of daily things and objects. You can use this money to buy something important. On the way back to Songyuan, Lin Zhaoxian took out a silver ticket of two hundred taels to Yiyi.

When I picked up people today, I saw that the clothes of the survivors such as my niece and daughter did not fit well. I think it's all fortunate that I picked up a life, and the money, luggage, and belongings are all lost and clean.

Yiyi has the memory of the original owner, and I was very moved when I saw such a silver ticket. The third uncle will easily sell this money, and he is quite sincere to the long house and to his niece, who has been absent for many years. This third uncle is really a real uncle!

Ma was thinking in his heart that there was a county prince coming to the door, and the uncle was injured and he could still let the Lin Mansion get acquainted with a nobleman, which was really unexpected! Thirteen years old is the best age for a daughter, and she needs to plan carefully. Unexpectedly, when he saw that the uncle took out such a large amount of money to his niece, his face collapsed.

The dynasty is prosperous and stable, there have been no major wars for many years, the topography is acceptable, and about 1/3 of the country's area is suitable for farming. Food and materials are abundant, the people are happy, and prices are low and stable.

In order to cope with the increasing demand for food and other resources, the imperial court needed to stabilize prices and calm the people, which led to this overseas visit.

Today's Daxun's monetary purchasing power is still very considerable. The price of grain, which has risen slightly in recent years, is only 4 wen per catty of white flour and medium white rice in the city, and about 6 wen per catty of white rice.

Daxun has reduced the number of Beijing officials since the beginning of the first emperor, and it is also from that time that his grandfather began to construct the strategy of "Hundred Kingdoms", exporting surplus materials in the country and buying and introducing materials from other countries that are in short supply in Xun country.

Nowadays, in addition to the first product of the Beijing official to the third product still retains the job field, from the fourth product to the ninth product of the lower job field have been converted into silver money. Local officials are subject to local availability.

Yiyi is currently an official rank from the ninth grade, with an annual salary of ninety taels; Lu rice fifty-six stone a year, job fields, domestic servant subsidies, etc., all of which add up to a total annual income of four hundred taels is not enough. The third uncle was converted from the seventh rank to the lower county order for a year, a total of a little more than 600 taels. In addition, there is a seniority subsidy for nine-rank officials according to ten taels per year - according to the nine-grade officials who have been in office for six years, there are sixty taels of annual subsidies; In addition, the official has a labor subsidy for each exclusive retinue and subordinate officials (assistants) in the custom, and according to this level, he can make up for a monthly subsidy of four taels of silver for each retinue and assistant.

In this way, two hundred taels of silver does not seem to be too much. However, today's market is bustling and extravagant. Officialdom must take into account the perspective of the upper and lower people and maintain the dignity of the official, and this atmosphere of comparison in the capital is even worse.

Officials generally need to bear the expenses of the whole house, and the female relatives of the official family are not only not like the women who can make silkworms and embroidery to make money to subsidize the family, but also have a special person to serve them. The officials' residences will be equipped with scholars, maidservants, domestic slaves, mothers-in-law, pulp washing, needlework and embroidery girls, cooks, housekeepers, housekeepers, internal government stewards, concubines, nurses, buyers, grooms, sedan chairmen, and so on.

If such a large number of people are allocated according to the system, their food, clothing, and New Year's festival rewards will basically be consumed, and half of the low-level officials of the ninth to seventh rank will be paid. There are also elders, wives, children, and daughters; Relatives walked, colleagues entertained, and superiors dredged ......

The third uncle has been unmarried for two years, even if everything is simple, two hundred taels is a lot.

"The elder gave it, and he didn't dare to resign. Thank you, Uncle San! "Yiyi is not short of money, but she lacks a reason to use it." Yiyi will definitely honor you well in the future. "At this time, it is not appropriate to pursue the atmosphere of respecting only the family and men, and it is not appropriate to repay the money.

Ma Shi saw that this was not beneficial, and he had to put a large amount of money in it for the uncle's diagnosis and treatment? Ma regretted it very much, and he didn't go to the big house if he knew it.

Hehe~~~ Filial piety in the future? Whoever counts on is a fool!

Yi Yi was relieved to see that the money that should have been put into the deep sea with the sunken ship could be used justifiably. Fighting with my grandmother's house, scolding the heavens and scolding the earth for a few taels of silver to buy a change of clothes or something, it's too bitter!

Yiyi didn't want to look at the second aunt's tangled face anymore: "Second aunt, third uncle, I'll go to the main courtyard." "Now that there is no separation, the next month's payment will be paid, and it will also be paid to the family's public account, and the family's expenses need to be reasonably arranged.

"I'll go with you." Lin Zhaoxian was afraid that his niece would be angry, so he had to take the initiative to go on a trip.

"Don't bother to cook at night, come to the bamboo garden to eat, I'll hurry back and prepare now." Ma Shi avoids the important and does it lightly, as long as he can get rid of the embarrassment of this silver ticket, it is worth it to invite a meal.
