After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Next year he will definitely be different from this year. After more than half a year of memorizing and memorizing, coupled with the advice from his teacher and senior brother, he really has a few drops of ink in his stomach now.

Qin Yao opened her eyes and stared at him for a few seconds to make sure those eyes were not deceiving. Then she nodded with satisfaction and said:

"It just so happened that I had to go to Fucheng to settle accounts. The road was not peaceful on New Year's Eve, so I escorted my husband and the others to Fucheng. You come with me and pay a visit to Aunt Qi's family so that the parents can know where their nephew is. What a safe place."

Qin Yao said it as if she was going to meet a relative of an acquaintance. Liu Ji nodded subconsciously, and then realized what he was doing. His eyes widened in shock, and his mind exploded.

"Meet, meet the prefect's wife?" Liu Ji asked weakly, suspecting that he had just heard wrong.

Seeing Qin Yao nodding, Liu Ji was so nervous that he quickly wiped the fine sweat on his forehead from the hot water steam. He had never been to an official's house in his life, so he went to the magistrate's house as soon as he came. It was too exciting. !

"Madam, are you willing to see us?" Liu Ji asked anxiously.

Qin Yao glanced at him suspiciously, "Weren't you very active in clinging to powerful people before? Why are you still timid now that you have a great opportunity in front of you?"

Liu Ji thought to himself, "On weekdays it's all just talk. Why don't I really panic if you come here!"

Besides, he had never dared to think about the biggest powerful people, namely Fan Xiucai and his like, the prefect's family.

and!

"Why are you clinging to powerful people? Madam, don't say it so harshly. I just want to find something serious to do," Liu Ji said in a low voice.

Qin Yao chuckled lightly, seeing through it without saying anything, and lifted her feet from the basin. Liu Ji subconsciously handed over the foot wipe. Qin Yao took it and dried it, put on her shoes, stood up and said:

"I'm not good at this. I'm only responsible for showing you the door. You can do the rest by yourself. I don't ask you to leave a good impression. I just ask you not to screw up."

After saying that, seeing that Liu Ji was so nervous that his breathing was disordered, Qin Yao sighed softly, pulled him up, patted his arm and said:

"Don't think of her as the prefect's wife, just think of her as your little senior brother's biological aunt. We are not here to ask for help. We just want to visit you out of courtesy to give you a new year's gift. By the way, we are here to treat your little senior brother. Just take it wherever you go."

The only people in this world who can help him unconditionally are his biological parents.

If others actively help, there will definitely be bigger traps waiting for you to jump.

So before asking someone to do something for you, first think about what you can offer in exchange for the other person.

But if you don’t have any purpose, don’t take shortcuts, and the kernel is stable, you won’t panic.

Liu Ji watched Qin Yao enter the bedroom and took a deep breath. Sure enough, he thought less and stopped panicking.

The next day, Qin Yao personally went to the Lotus Courtyard with Liu Ji to confirm the date for Qi Xianguan's return.

Since the heavy snowfall will make it difficult to travel, I plan to leave on the third day of the twelfth lunar month.

There were only two days left for Qin Yao to prepare. It really gave her a headache to think about what to prepare for the New Year's gift.

Go to every house in the village, just bring some candies and meat strips. What was delivered to Ding Yuanwai was only some farm specialties, fresh fruits and vegetables, or snacks, chickens and ducks.

Qin Yao didn't have much memory of the details of social gift-giving in Shengguo. He had no choice but to ask Liu Ji to find out about it from his senior brother and teacher.

Knowing that Qin Yao was going to prepare a new year's gift for his aunt, Qi Xianguan didn't say any polite words and wrote a list directly to Liu Ji.

Later, Gong Liangliao added that after all, Qi Xianguan rarely encountered this kind of work. He was now in his ancestral homeland, but his parents in the capital would help him prepare the annual gifts for each family and send them over from the capital.

In order not to be late, the stewards responsible for the New Year's rites usually have to leave in mid-November in order to return to the capital in time for the New Year. The list of gift specifications that was finally passed to Qin Yao was complete from top to bottom and could be bound together as a reference document for gift giving.

"You are a very good teacher and senior brother." Qin Yao put away the list with satisfaction and asked Liu Ji to remember to make arrangements for the substitute teaching in the literacy class. The literacy class could not be suspended for a few days just because they were away for a few days.

Of course Liu Ji knew that and signaled Qin Yao to rest assured that he would arrange his own affairs.

But it is not easy to arrange it. The reason is simply because he has too many students!

Qin Yao didn't care how he arranged it. She knew the specifications of the gift list, but there were still many things to consider in the actual preparation.

When giving gifts to officials and aristocratic families, they often choose tea, leather, cloth, mountain treasures, precious medicinal materials, etc. If there is a farm, they will also prepare some fresh fruits and vegetables, but this is just embellishment, and the main event is the first.

However, for these important events, Qin Yao looked at her savings of two hundred and eighty taels. It was better not to make a fool of herself.

Local eggs, local chickens and local ducks in the countryside are relatively new. Qin Yao bought two baskets of eggs and four chickens from Granny Wang.

The transportation of live animals was troublesome, and Qin Yao had already put the four chickens on the line.

The fabrics and leathers others had were better than the ones she bought, so Qin Yao didn't intend to add more rags to others.

She was thinking about whether to go to the county town to buy two cans of high-quality tea to start over, when she suddenly heard the workers from Xiahe Village chatting in the cafeteria about the good guys the Yang brothers had hunted.

Qin Yao's heart moved and she hurriedly went up and asked, "Have the Yang brothers entered the mountains this year?"

When the workers saw it was her, they all called Manager Qin to give her a seat.

The workers from Xiahe Village replied: "Yes, they went into the mountains twice this year, and they didn't get anything good the first time. But when they came back yesterday, they heard that they shot two deer and picked a big bunch of Ganoderma lucidum. .”

Deer are valuable, their hides are useful, their horns are used in medicine, and their meat is as delicious as any other wild species. There is also wild Ganoderma lucidum. The price in Panda is not particularly expensive, but it is difficult to find. There is a price but no market.

Qin Yao stood up immediately, "Then I have to go and take a look!"

She was worried about the New Year's ceremony and was about to fall asleep when she came to pillow. Qin Yao was afraid of missing it, so she immediately rode on horseback to Xiahe Village.

When they arrived at the Yang family, they were already carrying the deer into the city. Qin Yao hurriedly rode after him and stopped the two brothers halfway.

"Ms. Qin, what are you doing?" Brother Yang, who was stopped, asked in confusion.

They didn't think Qin Yao, who could hunt tigers, could take a liking to these two deer.

The weather is cold, and the deer is not afraid of being released even if it is dead, but if it is taken to Fucheng, it will definitely not taste good. Qin Yao said: "I want to buy these two pairs of antlers and the Ganoderma lucidum you picked back."

The two brothers were stunned for a moment, then laughed again. Yang Da teased: "You are quite well-informed."

Qin Yao also laughed: "Of course, don't look at how many workers from your Xiahe Village are in my factory."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, cut it for me, and it won't delay your entry into the city." Qin Yao urged.

If it were anyone else, the brothers might not be willing to sell it if they dislike the trouble, but since it's Qin Yao, it doesn't matter if they delay for a while. (End of chapter)
