The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 29 (One more)
Chen raised his head and glanced at Qi Yaoyao and said, "The previous dynasties stipulated that family members were not allowed to visit, and the transportation was inconvenient. The magistrate worked hard throughout the year, only in the twelfth lunar month every year, but on the second day of the first lunar month of the following year. Ten is the seal period, and it is the magistrate's one-month vacation, before the magistrate can go home, and the county seat, the chief clerk, the official, etc. will handle the daily official affairs of the county government." Then he said happily, "It has changed now. I am afraid that the family will rely on the county Ling's name is Calamity, and he is allowed to follow him."

"I see that the county magistrate has just arrived here, he has just taken office, and he has no cronies!" Qi Yaoyao said casually while removing the quilt.

Chen put down the soles of his shoes, looked at her and thought for a while, and said, "I just came here, my ass is still hot! I'm still not familiar with personnel affairs!" She pursed her lips and said, "This county has a small population, only 2 There are more than 12 people, and there are not many people in the county government, and many people hold several positions. Our family Luming is not only a clerk, but also a doorman! The annual salary adds up to [-] taels of silver!"

When the words fell, Mrs. Chen picked up the sole of the shoe again and continued to take it up.

door!The most famous family is Leng Zixing!Qi Yaoyao muttered in her heart.

The gate is separated by the second hall of the county government and the first courtyard gate in the main hall. This courtyard gate is called the house gate.

The gate of the house is the throat that leads to the inner house, and there are gate ovaries on both sides, which are the residence of the gatekeeper.

The door is on duty day and night, and idlers are not allowed to enter.

This ovary is not only a communication room, but also a security section.

Although the position of the door is not high, he is indeed a close confidant of the magistrate, and the magistrate has the power in his hands, and it is inevitable that people will ask for it.

But if you want to see the magistrate, you must have a doorman. Although the salary is not high, many visitors often bribe them for convenience. Otherwise, you will be closed here, and you won't even be able to see the magistrate, so don't talk about doing business. .

This is the historical reason for what modern people call 'walking the door'.

An official-based country has many things in common between ancient and modern officials.

"A lot." Qi Yaoyao smiled when she heard the words.

Indeed, with the standard of living in ancient times, 20 taels of silver could support a family!

Qi Yaoyao finished dismantling the four sides of the quilt, took off her shoes, sat cross-legged on the straw mat, continued to dismantle the quilt, and asked, "Is there a river near here?"

"What do you want to do?" Chen shi looked up at her and said, the work in his hand did not slow down at all.

"Catch the fish!" Qi Yaoyao said as she looked at her with a smile full of dark eyes, "Since the salary is not enough, then you have to find a way yourself!"

"That fish is not tasty, it's too fishy." Chen shi pouted in disgust.

"How is that possible? Although there are more thorns, the fish is tender and the soup is delicious." Qi Yaoyao looked at her with surprise written all over her face.

Chen Shi's clear eyes looked at her and thought for a while, "That's what you eat. When we little people eat it, we should sprinkle salt at most. Of course, it doesn't taste very good."

"No pepper, star anise, cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and perilla." Qi Yaoyao said the most commonly used seasonings in one breath.

"Oh! It turns out that they don't have such a big fishy smell." Chen shi looked at her suddenly and said, looking at her cute nodding like garlic, and said ruthlessly, "But these seasonings are not available."

"No?" Qi Yaoyao suddenly raised her voice and said in disbelief.

"Why are you so surprised?" Mrs. Chen looked at her amusingly and said, "It's not the capital, so what do you want? Except for peppercorns and ginger, other expensive ones are going to die. buy it."

Mrs. Chen put down the soles of her shoes, looked up at her seriously and said, "Ms. Qi, you can't ask us with your usual food and drink, then my son can't support you even if he sells himself. "He looked at her for a moment and said, "We have to do what we can."

Qi Yaoyao tilted her head slightly and closed her eyes. Only now did she realize how difficult it was in ancient times. This is still a seventh-rank county magistrate!

"What's the matter, I can't talk about you as a mother-in-law." Chen shi looked at her silently and said.

"No." Qi Yaoyao raised her head to look at her and said.

"It's really different." Chen shi looked her up and down and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"Just accept the facts." Qi Yaoyao said calmly as she looked at her with her big, moon-like eyes.

"Hey! That's right!" Chen shi patted his thigh and said, "Stop thinking about it, and live a good life. How do you say that sentence. As soon as it comes, it's safe."

Qi Yaoyao looked up at the azure blue sky, there was no cloud, it was clear and bright, and there was no air pollution, but thinking of this inconvenient life made me want to cry!
Chen Shi's black eyes looked at the beautiful and picturesque her, and she took up the soles of her shoes. It was not easy for the little girl to fall from the rich and noble nest to the countryside, and no one could stand it.

From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult!
Mrs. Chen watched as the quilt was removed, "Mr. Qi, put the core of the quilt to dry on the clothesline." She then went to the room to put the clothes that Shen Zhouheng had just changed into the wooden tub and brought out the quilt. Put the lining and quilt on the wooden basin, carry it and leave.

Soon after returning, Chen Shi looked at Qi Yaoyao with a puzzled face and said, "The pomegranate has been washed." Only then did she realize, "That Qi Shi, you haven't changed your clothes for many days."

He was still wearing a green jacket and a coral red skirt.

"That..." Qi Yaoyao pursed her lips and looked at her and said, "I forgot."

"Forgot?" Chen shi looked at her in disbelief and said.

I really forgot, Qi Yaoyao has no sense of reality until now, where is she still in the mood to change clothes.

"I'll take a look now." Qi Yaoyao lifted the curtain and stepped over the threshold into the house, crossed the hall, and entered the bedroom.

Qi Yaoyao opened the closet and let out a long sigh, "Fortunately, there are clothes to change."

The clothes of the two of them are clearly distinguished. Her side is brighter, while his clothes are gray.

There are not many clothes of the same kind, and looking at this wardrobe feels empty.

Qi Yaoyao still has to study and study how to wear this dress?
Put on the jacket and the skirt, put the clothes on the bed, and unfold them one by one.

Qi Yaoyao took off her clothes and remembered the order of the clothes before changing them all.

He left the room with his changed clothes in his arms.

"Mr. Qi, your clothes are all silk and satin. You should wash the pomegranate separately. You can't beat it with a mallet. It will be damaged." Chen said, looking at the clothes in her arms.

"Oh!" Qi Yaoyao replied, carrying her clothes to the well in the backyard, where the large and small wooden basins were placed in a half circle around the pomegranate.

Pomegranate is sitting on the small bench, holding a mallet, Bang Bang's thumping clothes.

"What is this?" Qi Yaoyao said looking at the foam that came out of the pomegranate.

Hearing the sound, Pomegranate quickly stood up and blessed her body, "Young Madam." She followed her line of sight to look at the clothes, "It's saponin, it's for laundry."
