Su Wan thought about it, felt sympathy, and decided to think carefully about the name of these three idiots, and decided to give him a smart name.
Putting aside the matter of nicknames, it was a happy event that Xiaobai gave birth smoothly and mother and child were safe.
Su Wan said: "Today, I will give two delicious dishes to the people in the house. In addition, I will give each person in the house two red eggs, no... six."
When announcing the birth of a child, red eggs are given to the in-laws and close relatives. The birth of a boy is usually an even number, usually six or eight. Because he is a man, he will marry a wife in the future, so there will be one more person in the family. It's an even number.
If girls are born, the number is usually five or seven.
However, if the family is wealthy and has a new child, the owner will be happy and will distribute red eggs to the family. However, because there are too many servants in the family, it is difficult to do so. Usually there are two boys. A girl will only toss things unless she is too happy.
Xiao Sang felt that it was a bit too much. After all, it was not the madam who gave birth to the young master. If it was the madam, it would not be a problem to divide him into eighteen children. But where is the identity of Xiao Pei? The madam wanted to make a face for her, so the two of them were done. It's good if you have it in mind, but it's bad if it's too much.
So she advised: "Two are enough. There are too many people in the house, and it is difficult to get rid of too many red eggs."
Su Wan thought about it, and then said: "Then two, you go get some money, let the people in the kitchen work harder to help, and then give it to them..."
Suichuan, who had been standing by since the letter was delivered, said after hearing the words: "Since Madam is afraid of troublesome them, why not send someone to buy ready-made red eggs? There are also people outside who make red eggs for people. I will go there later." That’s it.”
Su Wan's eyes lit up when he heard what he said: "This is a good idea. Then go outside and let others do it, so you don't have to make them work hard."
"By the way, what do you think about the cavalry?"
Speaking of business, Suichuan also straightened his expression: "Now Mr. Shang is asking about the handover time. Mr. Shang thinks that we can go five times a year, and the two parties will hand over in Endless City in the future."
"Mr. Xu Jiang purchased goods in Meicheng, and then was escorted to Wuwu City by the people from Yangwei Escort. Mr. Shang's people purchased goods in the Western Wei Dynasty, and were also escorted to Wuwu City. When the time comes, the two parties will exchange goods in Wuwu City. Let’s each return.”
"How did he calculate these five trips? It's cold in winter, and there may be heavy snow, so the road is not easy to walk."
"According to their route, it would take about a month to escort the goods from the Imperial City to Endless City, so a round trip would take two months."
"The ice and snow melted in spring, and the earth warmed up, so we set out in early February. Counting one trip every two months, it would be April, June, August, and October. These four trips, the handover time in Endless City would be It’s March, May, July, September.”
"The weather will get colder after October. We can discuss whether to do this last trip by then. If we do, there will be four months to plan during this period. The time for this handover is uncertain. We will meet in September. It will be determined after both parties sit down and talk.”
Su Wan felt that it was pretty good. Although the winter was cold, there were four months during this period. If he really had to leave, there would be time to rest even if it was snowy on the road.
But if so, these people may not be able to celebrate the New Year with their families at home.
Moreover, it takes a long time on the road and is very tiring.
Su Wan thought for a while and asked him: "What do you think about half a month in advance?"
"If we set off half a month in advance, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, spring has begun to warm up here in the Western Wei Dynasty, and we should be able to cross Wuwu Mountain. Although Dong Zhao is still a little colder, it is not as dangerous as Wuwu Mountain."
"In this way, the last time the goods are sent back is September 15th, and we will leave again on September 15th. The weather is still good at this time, but it may be cold on the return trip."
"But even if it snows, I can return before December."
In this way, I have just made five trips this year.
Su Wan thought of another question: "But if we leave in such a hurry and start over again as soon as we get back to the place, I'm afraid it won't be good. The people in the cavalry may not be able to bear it."
Suichuan said: "What Madam said half a month in advance is better than what Mr. Shang said. As for the cavalry team, Madam doesn't have to worry."
"Mr. Shang plans to raise two teams of people, and when he comes back, he will change to another team. At that time, the people who come back from one trip will take a month off, and the remaining one month will help purchase goods and other matters, and then wait for the next time to change They go."
Is this a shift system?
I worked hard for two months, rested for a month, and then did something relaxing for a month. It took two months to relax.
this is okay too.
It's not like Su Wan can save some money. This horse team will earn a lot of money from one trip. An extra team of people is nothing, and safety comes first. This kind of work requires constant vigilance. It is easy to be tired if you work for a long time. Something happened.
"If it's their turn to take the winter trip, give them more subsidies."
Suichuan nodded: "Then my subordinate will write a letter to inform Mr. Shang and his wife's intention."
"good."
Suichuan took the order and went to do things.
Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief and arranged the handover. From now on, she can be the hands-off shopkeeper of this horse team. From now on, it will be time to sit on the ground and collect money.
In the evening, Suichuan asked someone to pick up two baskets of red eggs, saying they were from his wife.
The people in the mansion didn't know what was going on, so they felt strange.
"Why do you have red eggs, Madam? Could it be that Madam has given birth to a little boy?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I haven't heard that my wife is pregnant. Why did she suddenly have a young master?"
"Is the lady pregnant?"
"But even if you're pregnant, your eggs won't turn red!"
The people below were talking a lot.
Suichuan coughed and explained: "Don't make random guesses, don't make random guesses. One of Madam's previous personal maids got married and gave birth to a child. Madam was happy, so she went down to find someone to make some red eggs and distribute them to everyone. Just be happy."
After saying this, everyone finally understood, but they were also a little envious. After all, if you can do such a good job as a maid that the lady values and likes you so much, that is very impressive.
"Madam has always been tolerant and generous towards others, especially those who serve around her. No wonder that girl Shuxiang wants to leave with Madam."
Shuxiang said she wanted to leave with Su Wan at the gate. Many people heard her, and Shuxiang didn't hide anything behind her. She just wanted to be by Madam's side and serve her, and it wasn't anything shameful.
"That little girl loves to be lively. We haven't had any female relatives come to our Xiyuan for several years. She must be tired of staying here every day."
