Chapter 172 Monthly Money
"Delicious." Shen Kuo finished with a low smile, then leaned over and drank the white rice porridge in the spoon.

When Gu Jiujiu saw that Shen Kuo said it was delicious, he couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips.After feeding Shen Kuo the porridge spoon by spoon, she walked out with an empty bowl.

Back in the kitchen, the food and dishes on the wooden table were already cold, and Gu Jiujiu didn't want to bother to reheat the food.

The white rice porridge boiled in the pot was boiling hot, and there was still more than half of the kimchi jar in the kimchi jar. After thinking about it, Gu Jiujiu decided to grab a small handful of kimchi and drink a bowl of rice porridge, so dinner would be settled.

After a simple meal, when Gu Jiujiu entered the room again, Brother Yan and Sister Yuan had already left, and Shen Kuo lit an oil lamp in the room, holding an account book in his hand to read.

"Xiao Jiu, come here." As soon as Gu Jiujiu entered, Shen Kuo put down the account book in his hand and let her go to him.

Gu Jiujiu took a look at Shen Kuo, then walked to him and sat down.

Seeing his little wife sitting beside his bed, Shen Kuo hugged her into his arms, and gave her five ingots of silver, "This is the monthly money given by the county magistrate yesterday. Xiao Jiu, you put it away."

Gu Jiujiu thought that Shen Kuo gave her a silver note of 1000 taels a few days ago, so she returned the silver in her hand to him, "You should keep this money, I have enough silver in my place , you are doing errands in the Yamen, and you must not lose money."

Shen Kuo didn't go to take the money from Gu Jiujiu, but just smiled and nibbled on her lips, "Don't worry, I still have some money with me, which is enough for me to use in the Yamen. Besides, these few days There are two more inns in the market asking me to help with the accounting, and it is estimated that there are still a few taels of money in the income."

Seeing what Shen Kuo said, Gu Jiujiu hesitated for a moment and collected the money Shen Kuo gave her.

Shen Kuo slept all day during the day, and he wasn't sleepy at the moment, so he hugged Gu Jiujiu and talked to her for a while, "Xiao Jiu, in a few days, Brother Yan will go to the school run by Master Juren in Jin'an City Now, we should also prepare food and supplies for him in the next few days."

"My mother and I think the same way." Gu Jiujiu looked at Shen Kuo and smiled, "Mother said that brother Yan went to study in Jin'an City's school and only came back once a month, so you must prepare a few extra clothes for him. It just so happens that my father asked someone to send us a lot of fabric and satin today, and one of them is royal blue, and this color is perfect for making some clothes for Brother Yan."

"You said that Dad sent something back from outside?" Shen Kuo didn't know about Gu Yuanbao's writing back, but after Gu Jiujiu finished speaking, he couldn't help but a trace of doubt flashed across his face.

"Yes." Knowing that Shen Kuo didn't know about it, Gu Jiujiu explained it to him with a smile, "When you were sleeping in the house this afternoon, an uncle came to our house to deliver a letter, saying It was my father who asked me to send it back. In addition to the letter, my father also sent tea, cloth and so on. My father said in the letter that he followed a Cangyi businessman as an accountant in the Cangyi country. Yes, a lot of money was given to him a month."

"So that's how it is." After understanding, Shen Kuo didn't ask any more questions, but chatted with Gu Jiujiu again, seeing that it was getting late, he let go of her in his arms, and let her go to bed to rest up.
