The time when the people from the Xiao Mansion came to Ganzhou Guard was not coincidental. They arrived near the end of the year. After arriving, Xiao Yeyang was busy patrolling and Daohua was busy cleaning up. In the blink of an eye, it was the Chinese New Year.
After the New Year, we have to raise food and deal with the refugee issues. After the refugee issues are resolved, we have to be busy with spring plowing. As soon as we know it, the Dragon Boat Festival is here.
It was also at this time that Daohua had some free time and energy to think about external relations.
?Obviously, the Dragon Boat Festival is a good time.
The specially customized exquisite bamboo baskets with the words "Xiao Mansion" printed on them were neatly placed on the table. Daohua checked the list of health officials and made sure it was correct. She opened a bamboo basket and checked the contents. .
Several strings of rice dumplings with various fillings, salted duck eggs in bamboo boxes, a can of tea, a pot of rice wine, two packets of snacks, and several sachets.
?According to different official positions, the size of the basket is also different, and the contents inside are also increased or decreased, but the number of items is the same.
After Daohua checked, she asked Guyu to send people to deliver gifts to various health station officials: "Remember, don't send the wrong ones."
Guyu nodded, summoned a few maids, lifted the bamboo baskets to the concierge, and delivered them one by one in front of the list of officials.
Daohua pointed to the bamboo basket on another table and looked at Deshou: "These are for the generals of the border army camp. In addition, I bought several carts of rice dumplings from outside. You can bring them over together so that the soldiers of the border army can eat them tomorrow." You can eat rice dumplings.¡±
De Shou responded with a smile: "I will take care of it right away."
After all the gifts from the guards and border troops were sent out, Daohua called Li Xia and asked her to personally deliver the Dragon Boat Festival gifts to the Dong family.
After doing this, Daohua went to the kitchen.
Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and Xiao Yeyang will definitely come back from the military camp tonight. She is going to make soup with the soft-shell turtle and cordyceps she just bought to replenish him and his master.
?¡
Xia Mansion.
Xia Jianren was greeting his staff warmly while eating the rice dumplings and snacks given to him by the commander. His intention to show off was particularly obvious: "I heard that Mr. Wei did not send any gifts to the people of the Xiao Mansion."
The staff quickly complimented: "Obviously, in Mr. Wei's heart, you are more important than Mr. Xiao."
Although Xia Jianren felt proud, he was still somewhat rational. He shook his head and said, "It's not that Mr. Wei doesn't want to give it as a gift, but he is waiting for Xiao Yeyang to give it to him first, and then he can give him a gift in return."
The staff member was stunned for a moment, seeming a little confused.
Xia Jianren laughed: "Although Xiao Yeyang is the son of the prince, in any case, Mr. Wei is the highest official in Xiliang. If he wants to give gifts to Xiao Yeyang first, doesn't he tell everyone that he is inferior to Xiao Yeyang? "
The staff member had a look of surprise on his face: "That's exactly what your Excellency said."
Xia Jianren then said quietly: "You said that Xiao Yeyang is not staying in the capital, so why does he have to stay in our Ganzhou Guard?"
He can now see that Xiao Yeyang will not leave for a while.
The staff did not answer this.
In fact, in his heart, he hoped that Xiao Yeyang would continue to stay in Ganzhou Guard.
Ganzhou Wei is too poor and miserable. Only people with status, status and assets like Xiao Yeyang can change the situation of Ganzhou Wei.
If we don¡¯t talk about other things, let¡¯s talk about high-yielding grain varieties. If this could be promoted, so many people would definitely not starve to death every winter.
He has been paying attention to Mrs. Xiao's transformation of the hillside. Seeing the greenery growing little by little in the transformed terraces, he was heartened and excited.
You know, it was difficult to grow things on barren mountains in the past.
¡°Obviously, the high-yielding grains brought by the Xiao Mansion are drought-resistant and do not have high land requirements.
There were too many people in Ganzhou Wei who didn't have enough to eat. It was only after he became Lord Xia's staff that his life improved a little. Thinking of the hardship of eating grass roots and bark when he was a child, he hoped that Lord Xiao would stay even more. Intense.
The staff member looked at Xia Jianren. Mr. Xia was kind to him and he was willing to help him all the time. However, Mr. Xia had never suffered from the people at the bottom. He only weighed his own interests in his heart and did not consider the food and clothing of the people at all.
Why
He knew that Mr. Xia and Mr. Wei from Liangdu did not want Mr. Xiao to stay in Xiliang. They were afraid that Mr. Xiao's presence here would attract the attention of the court, which would be detrimental to their dominance in Xiliang.
While the staff¡¯s thoughts were drifting away, Xia Jianren was thinking about the ranch he sold.
Today¡¯s Qingyang Ranch is very lively. Every day, herders come to ask about grass seeds.He opened the lid, laughed and started talking.
Seeing that his men were in a mess, Cao Dan looked at Xiao Yeyang with a wry smile.
Xiao Yeyang shook his head, saying it was okay, and took the lead in picking up a rice dumpling and eating it: "Everyone, let's have a try."
Immediately, there was an argument in the military tent.
"This wine is really good!"
"What's so good about wine? This braised pork is so delicious."
"I think zongzi is the most delicious."
¡°I prefer eating salted duck eggs.¡±
"The food is gone in a moment. I think the sachet is the best. I will give it to my wife and daughter when I go home next time. They will wear it when they go out, and they will be more proud."
"Oh, don't argue, I like them all."
?¡
Xiao Yeyang returned to Xiao Mansion from the military camp after dark.
Knowing that he was coming back tonight, Daohua and Gu Jian were waiting for him to have dinner together.
In the dining room, Daohua was setting up the meal. When she saw Xiao Yeyang walking in, she greeted him with a smile. As soon as she got closer, she was hugged by Xiao Yeyang and then kissed hard.
"What are you doing?!"
Daohua quickly opened Xiao Yeyang's eyes and saw that the maids had turned their heads away, feeling a little uncomfortable. She glared at Xiao Yeyang fiercely and whispered: "Master will be here soon, let him see you." It¡¯s so rude, watch your skin carefully.¡±
When Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua blushing, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.
Daohua glanced sideways at him and looked at the maid at the door: "Go and invite the old man over for dinner."
Soon, Gu Jian arrived.
Gu Jian glanced at Xiao Yeyang: "Are you happy today?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "My uncle is really sharp-eyed." As he said that, he looked at Daohua and said, "There are a few thorns in the army. I was worried about how to conquer them. I never thought that you would send a few carts of rice dumplings today. Let them return home.¡±
Hearing this, Daohua suddenly smiled and rolled her eyes: "Really? The generals of the army are really honest. It seems that I will have to prepare gifts for them during the holidays in the future."
Gu Jian also had a smile on his face: "It's not easy for soldiers to guard the border. They will naturally support whoever treats them well."
