Twenty-eighth: Prepare for the New Year

Zhen Ying frowned, instinctively felt that something was wrong, Chao Wen saw that her mind changed, and quickly understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "Chen Da is a careful person, otherwise it is impossible for the palace to hand over the gold shop that entered the gold to you this day, right?" In previous years, there were more and fewer of these tricks, and I never heard you complain. ”

Chao Wen deserves to be a qualified mouth substitute, first brought a high hat to someone, and then kicked the ball back roundly.

When the shopkeeper Chen heard this, he thought that the little girl was just a little girl, but he didn't want Ziyu to open his mouth and solve the problem easily.

"It's just Laba now, and it's still growing in the New Year's Festival, so I just cast a few more, if there is anything left, it's the grace of the county lord, and the big guy has worked hard for a year, and he also asks for a lottery."

"If you don't have enough time, then it doesn't hurt to transfer the prince's batch. Anyway, the prince's friend is also a friend of the county lord, so naturally he doesn't care about these small sections, and when he sends them when he is complete, it doesn't matter, just say that the county lord is here, there are many things, she is young, and the concubine spoils her again, and no one will care about us. ”

Two paragraphs, giving two schemes.

First, it is to show the steward that the county lord is now in charge of the financial power of the palace, and she can make the decision as much as she spends. Whether it is a reward or a punishment, it also depends on the heart of the county lord.

Second, it shows that the county lord has the support of the prince, and the county lord can interfere in the prince's social contacts, not to mention the personnel transfer?

Enwei and power, even knocking and beating, acting thoughtfully and properly.

Before and after Laba, many matters in the shop were sorted out, and the steward in Zhuangzi came to deliver things again.

Because it was for their own food, they did not spend a lot of gold and silver, but the caravan in Quanzhou sent two truckloads of dried seafood, and there were game and livestock, live chickens, ducks and geese, mountain delicacies and dried fruits, fine firewood and other things from the nearby grange, which were parked in the backyard waiting to be counted and put into storage.

Although the royal family generally worships the Taimiao, there are also ancestral halls in the major fiefdoms, in addition to the royal families, they also select the local civil and military generals, doctors and knights who win the hearts of the people, and enjoy the incense together.

Zhen Ying set aside sacrificial supplies according to the examples of previous years, and took care of the dividends of each housekeeper and account room. I counted the maids in the backyard again, wrapped red envelopes according to grades, and specially grabbed a handful of gold bills of "safe years", and divided them for Tanxue, Tingshuang, Xiwu and Chaowen.

He also instructed the account room, took the list of gifts from previous years, and prepared it, and according to the preferences of several good sisters, he sent some flowers, fruits, childhood vegetables and other things - fresh vegetables are rare in winter, and small households such as the An family, where the lord is not there, are unwilling to spend money to buy them, Zhen Ying specially ordered it to be given to the sister of the An family, and asked the housekeeper girl of the An family to come and count it in person, because she was afraid that the aunt who was in charge of the back house of the An family would be deducted.

The Su family has a high family and good looks, but Master Su married Xu Xian, although the noodles are flat with a bowl of water, in the end it is still an eccentric daughter, and the diet on weekdays is also according to Su Minqing, Zhen Ying took care of both sides, and gave Su Minxiu a few melon and fruit pastries, Su Minqing's share is a few volumes of folk tales, quietly entrained in it, and picked a clever female envoy to send it in person, and told her: "Don't be seen by others, be sure to give it to Miss Su Er." ”

Fang Jinzhi's family has no owner, she relies on her to be a housekeeper, the income is good and bad, and the children do not necessarily eat meat at once, so they simply took a gold ingot of "Five Sons Dengke", wrapped it in red cloth, and sent it over with the Boxing Ceremony.

As for the time-honored girl of the Shi family, it was too late for the whole family to hold it in the palm of her hand, there was no shortage of food, and her family style was open-minded, Zhen Ying really couldn't think of anything extra to give, so she dealt with a poem indiscriminately, and sent it with the gift.

It was written: "The broom swept away the dust of the jade steps, and the flowers came to the door with brocade." It is said that the good situation in the sky is not as good as the spring of ten thousand households on earth. ”

Zhen Ying swears that there is nothing more painful and joyful than writing a gift list.

The sisters want to fight, and the monk temple can't be left behind, but she and the son of the family really can't fight together, and the head can only be attached to the old lady. This part is mainly under the control of the concubine, but it is signed to her in the end.

It is a subordinate official of the royal palace, because it is an errand under the prince, it is neither as easy to send as a servant in charge, nor as easy to understand as a maid. In addition to taking care of the rituals like the ladies of the back house, Zhen Ying also takes into account the acting position of the current supreme leader of Wu County, and even the sacrifices are under her control.

In addition to the New Year's ceremony, they also have the reward of the spring festival, the absence of the prince's son, Zhen Ying bears the title of "the daughter of the county lord of Chengyi" back then, everyone is looking forward to showing their faces in front of her, and the sacrificial supplies of the subordinate officials are also particular.

If it is a Beijing official, the Ministry of Etiquette will evaluate it according to the performance of the year, and the degree of face in front of the emperor will be carefully considered, and the headache will be handled by the Ministry of Etiquette.

When she arrived at the palace, Zhen Ying didn't even ask about the old routine, after all, the concubine was only in charge of the back house, and it was inconvenient for the subordinate officials of the palace to interfere, so as not to have a suspicion of the mother and son fighting for power. In previous years, Jiang Che was in charge of Wu County, and whether the subordinate officials were competent or not could be seen at a glance, and most of the sacrifices and rewards were also done by himself.

Fortunately, Zhen Ying is a smart person, with the experience of the director of the back house, and the cat and tiger are not bad.

First of all, I found Wang Fu Gong Cao to get the results of this year's assessment, and then found Hu Cao to find the account books of previous years, found Cang Cao to point the details of the treasury expenditure, and Bing Cao counted the number of troops, and I had a bottom in my heart.

I found a few more chief bookkeepers to participate in the discussion and verify the information obtained, and finally a few people had a small meeting and drew up a list carefully, so that the affairs of the prince's subordinate officials here were finished, and at this time, it was almost time for Xiaohan.

At this time, Zhen Ying only got a moment of respite, and began to deal with the movement of all parties, because the things purchased before were sufficient, and he did not show timidity, and a few days later, the female official who passed the word in the palace also came, in addition to the New Year's gift, and specially made up for Zhen Ying's birthday ceremony for the twelfth year, but it was a finely carved head of the twelve flower gods and moon orders, one set a year.

Zhen Ying especially likes April's "Peony Flower God" set of heads, which is both luxurious and festive, thank you and dress up on the same day. The main flower is a large red peony tied with velvet flowers, bordered with gold leaf, which is more rich and festive. The temples are simply braided into small braids, and they are inserted separately with a pair of red gold inlaid eight-treasure combs. After dressing up, Zhen Ying made a difficult mistake with the remaining three pairs of shell flower hairpins in the box, a Jin Bu Shao, and a Jin Huasheng.

was in the room, and a few more distant Zhuangtou came, talked, and waited outside.

Tanxue and Tingshuang had just made a book of Zhen Yingde's jewelry, and when they heard this, they tacitly put down the curtain left and right. Xiwu didn't know much about the things in the Zhuangzi outside, but it was strange, and he only asked: "The library that was just ordered a few days ago, where is this Zhuangzi, and why is it so long?" So saying, he went to open the door.

But I saw that the person who bent over and saluted outside was not the Zhen family's room, who is Zhen Zhiwen, the current head of the family?
