MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 366 Prepare for New Year's Eve

He will definitely be different next year from this year. After more than half a year of memorizing and memorizing, and with the help of teachers and senior brothers, 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 the Qi family's aunt by the way, 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 he reacted. 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 wrongly.

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 there is a great opportunity in front of you?"

Liu Ji thought to himself, "On weekdays, it's all just talk. How can I not 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 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, wiped it dry, put on her shoes, stood up and said:

"I'm not good at these things. 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 mess up."

After finishing speaking, 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, please explain that we are your little senior brother's aunt." Just take it somewhere."

The only people in this world who can help you unconditionally are your biological parents.

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

 So before asking for help, consider what you can offer in exchange for the other person.

 But if you don’t have any purpose, don’t take shortcuts, and your core 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 didn't panic.

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

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

 There were only two days left for Qin Yao to prepare. She really had a headache thinking about what to prepare for the New Year's gift.

 Going 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 did not have much memory of the details of social gift-giving in the Sheng Kingdom. 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 gift for his aunt, Qi Xianguan didn't say any polite words and wrote a list directly to Liu Ji.

Gong Liangliao then added it. After all, Qi Xianguan rarely encountered this kind of work. He was now in his ancestral land, 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 before the end of the year. The list of gift specifications that was finally passed to Qin Yao had complete specifications from top to bottom. It could be bound and used 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 stopped for a few days just because they were away for a few days.

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

However, 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. He knew the specifications of the gift list, but there were still many things to consider in the actual preparation.

  Gifts given to officials and aristocratic families often include tea, leather, cloth, mountain treasures, precious medicinal materials, etc. If there is a farm, some fresh fruits and vegetables will also be prepared, 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.

 with native eggs, native chickens and ducks are relatively new products in the countryside. Qin Yao went to Grandma Wang and bought two baskets of eggs and four chickens.

The transportation of live animals is troublesome, and Qin Yao has endured the difficulty of getting four chickens online.

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

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

Qin Yao's heart suddenly moved and she rushed up to ask, "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 is very valuable, its skin is useful, its horns are used in medicine, and its meat is as delicious as 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!"

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

When they arrived at the Yang family, they had already carried 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 asked in confusion as he was stopped.

They don’t think Qin Yao, who can hunt tigers, can take a liking to these two deer.

The weather is cold, and the deer is not afraid to let it go 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 I won’t delay your entry into the city.” Qin Yao urged.

If it were someone else, the two 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)
