Thinking of this, Xi'er, who was secretly shocked in her heart, hurriedly knelt down, her eyes flashing with crystal tears and promised: "The Queen is kind and forgiving, and she treats Xi'er with kindness like a mountain. With her golden words just now, Xi'er will remember it in her heart, and no one dares to forget it. From now on, Xi'er will definitely serve His Highness the Crown Prince wholeheartedly and will never dare to be arrogant and domineering."
We have no choice but to prevent the queen from finding any big problems. In a few years, the relationship between the two of them will soar from a master-servant relationship to a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. If they are lucky enough to be pregnant with the prince's flesh and blood, their status will also rise.
After seeing off his beautiful biological mother, Yaoji marked and inserted a bookmark in the bound book he created. Then he washed himself under Xi'er's service and got ready to go to bed. He had to go to bed early today and review it tomorrow afternoon. Lao Suntou's troops can't let those foot-picking men see a yawning little prince. It would be embarrassing for the blame-saver!
*************************************************** *****
Gao Yiyue spent a whole day working in the house of Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen. Although he was a seventh-rank Xiaoqi and could only be regarded as a big official in the strict hierarchical Jinyiwei organization, he could still manage more than ten people under his command. Number person.
You don't have to do trivial things yourself, you just need to direct the brothers to work carefully. However, Cheng Guogong's belongings are piled up in mountains, counting them is extremely tedious, and the workload is very heavy, which still makes Gao Yiyue feel numb.
After joining Jinyiwei, I realized in the first month of high school that this job is just a glamorous job. If you don't do it privately, the monthly salary is no better than other jobs. There is no way to talk about big fish and meat. rise.
He is a small flag, his monthly salary is only seven shi of rice, and he still gets old rice. Even if the price of rice is now 2 taels of silver, the old rice can only be discounted at half price, which is only 3 taels of silver. This is what the rice merchants think of him. Jin Yiwei paid a high price for his sake.
The Holy One cares about his subordinates, so the Jinyiwei received full salary, but it was not silver, all converted into official warehouse rice. The entire Jinyiwei, except for the high-ranking adults, from the general banner to the warriors, received monthly salary. You have to go to the market to sell rice, otherwise you will have no money to spend.
Looking at the vegetable dishes such as stewed cabbage, green onions, and tofu on the table, Gao Yiyue really had no appetite. He was almost tired of eating them every day. Duke Cheng Guo was very pleased to attach those white coins. He had never touched them. Greed.
It's a pity that his eldest brother has repeatedly told him not to get into trouble with others, and not all of his brothers know the truth. It's hard to guarantee that someone is a spy planted by the superiors and is secretly monitoring him, so he can only "bear the pain and give up".
I don’t know how long this kind of hard life will last. Thinking of my parents who died young, Gao Yiyue feels sad. Her name was given by her father. Because she was born in January and her surname is Gao, she is called "Gao Yiyue". moon".
Although it sounds very simple and even has the connotation of a girl's name, when you think of it, it still makes sense. At least it is much better than the names like "Li Ergou" in the same village, which is a rare comfort.
"Yeah..."
When Gao Yiyue was sitting on the kang, meditating alone, the door to the courtyard suddenly rang. Someone must have pushed it open. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to open the paper window and took a look. It turned out that his second brother was back, and he immediately went out to greet him.
"Second brother, this..."
Seeing the roasted chicken and sauced meat in the other person's left hand and the wine jar under his right arm, Gao Yiyue was stunned for a moment, and then his face became happy, which meant that there was something delicious to eat and drink in the evening.
A roasted chicken on the market costs seven to eight hundred Wen, which is something that poor people like them can afford. If they can eat a chicken every month, it is a toothpaste. If you are really hungry for meat, just buy a fish. Stewed, raw fish is at least much cheaper than cooked chicken.
The second brother is the general banner of the seventh rank, but his monthly salary is only half a stone more than his own. As a martial arts practitioner, he does not have the nourishment of meat and fish. If he wants to maintain his strength, he can only eat more.
It is normal to spend fifty or sixty pennies just for food every day. Add in some living expenses, and by the end of the month, you will not be able to save any money at all, which is no better than ordinary people.
"Bar the door and tell the house!"
Shen Lang entered the courtyard with a calm expression as usual. When he saw his younger brother coming to greet him, he just gave instructions and went into the house with the best wine and food.
When Gao Yiyue came back, he saw meat on the table and a jar of extremely fragrant Sanbai wine. The dinner was so delicious that his whole body seemed to be cheered up and he immediately became energetic.
"Slice the elbow!"
Shen Lang spread out the paper and took out a huge elbow. Although it has not yet been deboned, for martial arts practitioners, this process is just the enjoyment of wielding a dagger.
"okay!"
Gao Yiyue pulled out his one-foot-long knife with unusual pleasure. The blade was sharpened to an extremely sharp edge, and it shone brightly even under the light of an oil lamp.
Pick up the big bone stick at the elbow with one hand, place it on the oil paper, and then start to carve out the meat piece by piece easily and comfortably.
Unlike the housewife, Gao Yiyue does not need to remove the bones from the elbow first and then slice the meat into slices. She can just slice it from top to bottom.
Not only that, the sliced meat must be of approximate size and weight. One piece cannot be thin, one piece thick, one piece large, one piece small. If you don’t even have this ability, then don’t use a knife or a gun to avoid embarrassment. .
After seeing his third brother cut off the elbow and tear the roasted chicken into pieces, Shen Lang, who was sitting cross-legged on the kang, touched the beard on his lips and said, "Okay, let's eat together when eldest brother comes back!"
"Um!"
Gao Yiyue wanted to feast immediately, but since his second brother had given the order, he could only wait together. Besides, I and my second brother are both living in the eldest brother's house. It's really rude to start moving without waiting for the eldest brother.
Looking at the food on the table, even if his nose smelled the strong aroma, he could only swallow his saliva and wait patiently. However, out of curiosity, Gao Yiyue still asked: "Second brother, is the eldest brother not being cheated?" Do you want to go to dinner?"
The implication is that the eldest brother has been so full that he can't eat much when he comes back. All they need to do tonight is take care of themselves.
Shen Lang naturally understood what his third brother meant. He hugged his shoulders and said earnestly: "Yes, the wine is good wine and the food is good food. But in that kind of situation, who dares to eat when full?"
At official dinners, even the same level can use chopsticks more. The superior invites subordinates to eat. Which subordinate dares to put things in his mouth frequently, unless that person is the superior's brother-in-law...
Gao Yiyue was so touched that he knew that his question just now was inappropriate. He couldn't continue to ask further, so he had to open another topic: "Second brother, you bought so much food, what will you do at the end of the month? I still have five taels here." Scattered silver..."
As brothers, the elder brother is embarrassed to ask for a loan from his younger brother when he is not very rich. The younger brother has to be more proactive, so that the older brother can live well in terms of face.
