Xingzhou, Yanfu.
As the end of the year draws closer, Mrs. Li is extremely busy. She has to prepare New Year gifts, attend banquets held by various governments, and calculate the profits of the shop. She is so busy that she just slips out the rice flowers.
"This year your father was promoted to magistrate, and the number of annual gifts this year has increased several times compared to last year." Mrs. Li looked at the annual gift lists sent by various families while talking to her daughter who was settling accounts.
Daohua didn¡¯t even raise her head: ¡°As you become a senior official, there will naturally be more people who fawn over you.¡±
Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter, smiled and scolded: "Don't let these words get messed up outside."
Daohua raised her head, stuck out her tongue, and said playfully: "My daughter is not stupid."
Mrs. Li was not angry: "Yes, you are the best." As she said that, the corner of her mouth curled up. It was really all thanks to her daughter this year, otherwise she would have been so annoyed at this time.
"The more New Year's gifts come and go, the more expenses will naturally be incurred. If it weren't for the watermelons on Zhuangzi that made a lot of money, this year's New Year's gifts would have seemed shabby again."
Thinking of her family's return gifts to each family, Mrs. Li showed a look of pride on her face, and said to her daughter in a cheerful tone: "This year, our family's return gifts include the vegetables and flowers you grew. It can be said that Xingzhou City It¡¯s a big deal.¡±
Things are rare and expensive. There are few vegetables and flowers in winter, and it is difficult to buy them even if you have money.
Although some other people also have greenhouses, the vegetables they grow or the flowers they raise are not as good as their own.
The Zhou family is rich enough, but in order to eat their own food, don't they ask their girls to come to their daughter's side every now and then?
"As proud as Mrs. Li is Yan Zhigao, who is in the Yamen.
This year, their family's New Year's gift gave him a lot of face in the state government. Every day, people thanked him, either saying that the vegetables they sent were delicious or that the potted plants were beautiful, so he and his officials were immediately It closed a lot of distance.
Especially in the yamen, those old-timers who stick to the rules and accept death, but have good connections behind them, because of the New Year gifts and their kindness, they are less obstructive and picky about his work at the end of the year, which makes him feel a lot more relaxed.
At this moment, Yan Zhigao was sitting in the study room in the outer courtyard in a happy mood, admiring the calligraphy and paintings sent by his subordinates.
Suddenly, Butler Sun walked in with a large box in his arms: "Master, this is a new year's gift from Wang Tongpan."
Yan Zhigao raised his eyebrows: "Bring it over and let me take a look?" Qian Tongzhi had secretly told him about the fact that Counselor Du was standing behind Wang Tongpan.
Wang Tongpan¡¯s work ability is pretty good, and he does everything he¡¯s asked to do well. As long as he doesn't stumble behind his back, he won't make things too difficult for him.
Of course, there will be no reuse.
Butler Sun gently placed the box on the table and opened it carefully.
It is a complete set of stationery utensils.
?Brush, ink, inkstone, brush washer, brush lick, inkstone dropper, ruler, arm rest, etc. are all available.
Yan Zhigao picked up the brush and looked at it. It was a good Xuan brush. Then he looked at the inkstone. It was a Duan inkstone: "Wang Tongpan is willing to give it up."
Not to mention how much this complete set of tools is worth, if you want to get it, you will probably have to put in a lot of effort.
Yan Zhigao looked at the study utensils on his desk. They were all newly purchased. This new set will not be used for the time being.
"Dad!"
At this moment, Yan Wenbin walked in.
Yan Zhigao put down the propaganda pen in his hand and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"
Yan Wenbin¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the study utensils on the table. He was still short of a good set of study utensils, and this set was just right.
¡°If it were in the past, Yan Zhigao would definitely have asked his beloved son to take it when he saw his eager look on his face, but this time, he didn¡¯t say anything.
Seeing this, Butler Sun, who was standing aside, felt a move in his heart.
He has been serving the master since he was not yet taking the imperial examination. Over the years, he has also seen how much he dotes on the Lin family's children.
When the fifth master entered the room and his eyes fell on the stationery, he thought that this set of stationery might be taken away by the fifth master. But looking at the look of the master at this moment, he was not prepared to give the stationery to the fifth master!
This is an unprecedented first time!
Are you going to keep it for the uncle?
"That's right, after all, the elder is the eldest son. Even if the elder loves his younger son, he will not ignore the elder.
Yan Wenbin was slightly disappointed when he saw that his father did not say that he would give him stationery: "Dad, my son hasI don't understand some of the contents in the textbook, and I would like to ask you to guide my son. "
Seeing that his youngest son knew how to work hard and make progress, Yan Zhigao was very happy: "Show it to me."
After that, Yan Zhigao explained to Yan Wenbin what he didn¡¯t understand in detail.
The marked questions have been answered, but Yan Wenbin hesitated and left immediately.
Yan Zhigao: "Why, are there still questions?"
Yan Wenbin moved his lips and wanted to ask for the set of stationery, but after thinking about it, he decided to go back and tell his aunt to ask her father for it.
As long as my aunt opens her mouth, my father will almost never refuse.
After Yan Wenbin came out of the study, he went straight to Shuangxinyuan and told Aunt Lin about the stationery.
Seeing her son¡¯s anxious face, Aunt Lin thought it was something. After hearing what he said, she immediately smiled and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a set of stationery? I¡¯ll help you get it, I¡¯ll see how anxious you are.¡±
Yan Wenbin looked embarrassed: "My son really likes that set of stationery."
Aunt Lin smiled: "Okay, okay, wait until your father comes to Shuangxin Courtyard, no, wait for your father to come back from the outer courtyard, mother will go to him and promise to help you get the stationery."
Yan Wenbin was a little worried: "Mom, will dad give it to me? In the past, dad would take the initiative to ask for anything his son liked, but this time, his son stayed in the study for so long, but dad didn't say anything."
Aunt Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's the end of the year and your father is busy with work, maybe he didn't expect it." After saying that, she thought for a moment and called the maid, "I went to the Chuihua Gate to take a look and saw the master coming back from the front yard. Just come and tell me.¡±
Outside study room.
After Yan Wenbin left, Yan Zhigao lowered his head and looked at the stationery on the table. Thinking that he had never given anything to his eldest daughter, he summoned Butler Sun: "Go, give this set of stationery to Daohua. That girl's calligraphy It¡¯s well written and comes in handy.¡±
Hearing this, Butler Sun looked surprised.
"Don't blame him for being like this. Among the five children of the eldest family, in terms of attention, the eldest son should be the first; in terms of being favored, the fifth master and the third girl should do their part.
The eldest girl and fourth master caught in the middle, well, it¡¯s actually a bit embarrassing.
¡°At least, in the past, when the master had good things in his hands, he rarely thought of these two.
Although Butler Sun was surprised, he didn't show it on his face. He covered the stationery with a smile, then carefully picked it up and walked toward the main courtyard.
The main courtyard.
Daohua had just finished calculating the income and expenditure of Mrs. Li's dowry shop for the year, and was about to take a walk in the yard when she saw Butler Sun coming in with a box in his arms.
"Madam, this is the stationery the master gave to the eldest girl."
Butler Sun saluted the two of them and put the stationery on the table with a smile.
Daohua was a little shocked: "Give it to me? You are not mistaken, right?" The cheap dad is actually thinking of her?
Seeing the disbelief on the eldest girl's face, Butler Sun twitched the corner of his mouth. Look, even the eldest girl didn't believe it. So it's normal for him to be surprised before.
"Yes, the master said that the girl's handwriting is good, and it is suitable for this set of stationery."
Mrs. Li glared at her daughter and urged her: "Hurry up and open it and take a look."
Daohua put aside her doubts and opened the box. Seeing all the study utensils inside, she couldn't help but feel happy: "I was telling my grandmother before that I didn't have a ruler or an armrest yet. There¡¯s no need to buy it now.¡±
Seeing that every stationery material was of high quality, Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Then you have to thank your father."
Daohua looked at the stationery without saying anything.
Shuangxinyuan.
Butler Sun took the stationery to the main courtyard, and Aunt Lin knew it immediately.
She was also in disbelief about this.
Why did you give it to an older girl?
Even if you don¡¯t give it to Wenbin, you should give it to the uncle.
The eldest girl often contradicts the master. Doesn¡¯t the master dislike this daughter very much? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
