Traveling through the daily life of raising a family in ancient times

Chapter 187 Gift giving is a science

Since the medicine was thrown away by the other party, it is estimated that they will not let it go.

If he doesn't have the ability to settle things but causes trouble, then this person must be a reckless man.

Although Song Yeqing was reckless, she was thinking about how to solve the matter after hitting someone.

In fact, the best way to solve the problem is to trace the root cause and understand why Song Chaolian came to embarrass herself.But the other party didn't say anything.

So Song Yeqing was completely confused.Is there a memory error?In her memory, Mrs. Song and the other party didn't get into a fight.

"What do you want to do?" He Yanxin asked her what she thought after hearing what happened today.

"I want to ask Shen Qinqin if there were any irreconcilable conflicts between them back then. Memories can be deceiving sometimes, and I'm afraid I didn't receive the relevant memories myself."

After Song Yeqing finished speaking, she felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Do you think I'm too impulsive and will bring trouble to the family?"

He Yanxin took her hand, "What's this saying, huh? We are a family, and we have to face any difficulties together. Besides, they break the contract first."

Given the status of the Hu family in Fucheng, as long as there is news that there is something wrong with Song Yeqing's batch of spices, the spices they have worked so hard to bring back from Qizhou will be thrown into their hands.

Although it can be sold elsewhere, this will undoubtedly increase the cost.

Song Yeqing was warmed by his unhesitating attitude of support.

"If my memory is correct, then I have to make other plans. I have to figure out the relationship behind the Hu family and take precautions. I am going to visit a person, this person is called Luo Guanyang..."

Ever since she guessed that this place might be her previous life, she didn't object to getting in touch with her old people.

And this man named Luo Guanyang, he and Song's father were best friends since they were young.

He used to go to Beijing to rush for the exam, but his pocket was too small, and Song's father donated money to help him without saying a word.

In the end, this person won the Jinshi and returned to Zhaozhou Fucheng to become the governor.They also rented a house next to the Song family, and the two became neighbors, and the relationship was very close.

Song Yeqing went to Zhaozhou to inquire about this Uncle Luo, and the other party has now passed the official sentence.

It's just that Song's father had passed away, and she felt that she was an outsider and an ordinary citizen, so she didn't come to visit her.

If Song Chaolian really wants to use the connections behind the Hu family to deal with her, she can only see if Uncle Luo, who was very gentle and kind to Mrs. Song in the past, can help.

But this is the last choice, and now I still want to find out what happened to make Song Chaolian so malicious.

He Yanxin showed a relaxed smile and said, "Leave me to inquire about the relationship behind the Hu family."

If he wanted to have a legitimate glass business, he naturally needed to open up his joints and get to know some necessary people.So he also found a way to make friends with some big and small people in Fucheng.

He can't touch the officials above the seventh rank at present, but he still knows a few of the eighth and ninth ranks.

In addition, the original owner of the previous life came here to stay for a while because Zhaozhou was the place where Lady Song grew up.

So He Yanxin knew a lot about Fucheng than Song Yeqing.

The two talked about some specific details, but they didn't want to understand what Song Chaolian was for.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Song Yeqing thought of another matter and said, "I've already bought the gift for Governor Feng, come and see if it's right."

The governor Feng she mentioned was the one who came to Mengjiazhuang to give a passionate "speech".

The other party was responsible for resettling refugees, and came here several times later.He Yanxin got acquainted with him like this, and then fell into a relationship that could be invited by the other party.

A few days ago, Governor Feng sent a post to his family, inviting them to attend his mother's birthday banquet, which was only three days away.

Giving gifts is a science, especially if the other party is an official.

Things like the pastries that Song Yeqing bought when she went to see Shen Qinqin could not be delivered to his home.

So the gift that the two of them agreed upon was two bolts of dark-pattern chain-link silk cloth, both of which were colors suitable for older women.

Silk is not cheap, these two pieces of cloth cost six taels of silver.It is in line with He Yanxin's general family image, but he can also show a decent gift.

"Are you sure you only want to give this?" Song Yeqing looked at him and nodded, and asked again.

She knew a little about He Yanxin's communication abroad, because he would often tell herself what people he met abroad.

"Just give this as a gift. Governor Feng is a filial man, but his mother is good." He Yanxin explained to her.

"Okay." Song Yeqing finally felt relieved.

Because in her perception, giving gifts to officials in ancient times should be some kind of gold, silver and jewelry, rare and exotic objects.

Mrs. Song learned housekeeping from Mother Song after she was nine years old, but except for Luo Guanyang, the gifts given by the Song family to other officials were basically not very simple.

She also asked Song's mother, but the other party refused to explain because you are still young.

Song Yeqing said these things now.

He Yanxin laughed. "The situation you mentioned is different from ours. We just give gifts normally. If we really give him those, he will be worried."

What is the purpose of giving heavy gifts to officials?Only when you ask for something or get asylum can you return it. To put it bluntly, it is management and bribery.

But he didn't tell Song Ye Qingming.Because now he also has a deep understanding that if he wants to do business well and reduce resistance abroad, the management of officials is really indispensable.

Who is called Shi Nong Gong Gong, one at the head and one at the end.This is the characteristic of this era, and He Yanxin can't change it at present, and even has to obey.

The evil feudal society...

Early the next morning, Song Yeqing went to the city again to visit Chen's house.

"Song Chaolian? Did she come to trouble you?" Shen Qinqin frowned after hearing her question.

"She used to always come to find fault with you. If she doesn't find fault, she seems to be unhappy in her heart. Why is she still like this when she grows up?"

"It's okay, she didn't get any benefits, so don't get excited." Song Yeqing calmed her down.

"That's for sure. You two faced each other before, and most of the time you had the upper hand." Shen Qinqin also remembered what happened at that time, and gradually became happier.

"Then do you remember any big quarrels I had with her, the ones that made her hate me for many years?" Song Yeqing asked.

Shen Qinqin thought about it for a while, and finally shook her head. "It seems that there is no such thing. At that time, they were all little girls, so there is no big festival."

After she finished speaking, she curled her lips and said: "She is living a good life now. She is very arrogant in front of us because of marrying a good husband-in-law. I met her at Zhou's wedding banquet a few months ago. The other end can't wait to look up to the sky.

I see, she just sees that you are easy to bully now, so she suddenly went crazy and ran to you to show off.Just ignore it. "

Song Yeqing wanted to say that the other party's fight was not as simple as just showing off and making her "down and out" self envy her.

But Shen Qinqin's delivery date is approaching, so it's better not to worry her by speaking out.

"That's right, I don't have the same knowledge as her." After speaking, Song Yeqing took out the things she had with her.
