Leng Lanzhi glanced at Aunt Feng expressionlessly. After looking away, she completely opened the package on the table, revealing the contents, and then took out a box: "Cousin, I will live in the county this time." It was a complete surprise for Shougu, so he didn't prepare any gifts in advance.
I just went out because I just wanted to prepare some gifts for my cousin, nephew, and daughters. "
As she spoke, she opened a box and saw that it was a box of pure white and mellow facial ointment. As soon as the box was opened, the rich fragrance of roses hit her nostrils.
Jia was surprised: "This is... the rose ointment from Four Seasons Tower?"
The rose ointment of the Four Seasons Building is the favorite ointment used by the ladies of Tianhai City. Not only does it taste good, but it is also very effective. It is said that if you insist on using it, it can continuously improve facial skin and make a woman's face look smooth and delicate.
The price of such a good ointment is naturally very considerable. A small box as big as a palm costs five taels of silver.
Although Tianhai City is one of the richest cities in the Sheng Kingdom, most of the people are very rich, and the previous county governor was also very fat...
But Li Changlin was an upright official, and he only relied on his small salary to survive.
Even though he was promoted to the position of county governor not long ago, he has not learned the skills of the previous county governor in amassing money. Now he has nothing. The monthly expenses of the entire county governor's mansion are only fifty taels. This is because Jia's family management is good. And he also runs a clothing store outside, and the clothing store can make some money every month.
This little money is not enough to maintain household expenses and favors. How could she dare to buy such expensive ointment?
Li Tian'er smiled and said: "Mom, look at this hairpin!"
Jia looked in the direction her daughter pointed and saw that the hairpin was exquisitely made. Although the small pearls used to make the beads were not very good, twenty or thirty small pearls added up were worth a lot of money. Plus the sterling silver hairpin body plus the craftsmanship fee...
Li Tian'er introduced: "This is Xiulifang's hairpin. I saw Xiulifang put it in the store before the heavy snowfall. It sells for fifteen taels of silver!"
Jia: "!!"
She looked at the other items in the package.
The other items are nothing unusual, they are two sets of the Four Treasures of the Study Room.
She doesn't like writing, so she can't see the significance of these two sets of four treasures of the study.
But when her son was in elementary school, she personally went out to prepare these supplies for her son. She clearly remembered that the lowest quality inkstone cost two taels of silver each!
Paper is very rare these days, so many children from ordinary families cannot afford paper when they are starting school. They can only use branches to practice writing on the ground. Some families who are more particular will get a sandbox for their children and put them on the sandbox. Practice calligraphy.
The rice paper in the package was actually two large piles as high as teacups!
How much does it cost?
Jia was shocked and changed her tone unconsciously: "Cousin, these are too valuable, we can't accept them..."
She was so shocked that she forgot to ask where these things came from.
Leng Lanzhi shook his head: "You're welcome, cousin. I'm still going to bother you in the house for a while. These are just ordinary things, and they can't be compared to disturbing you."
"Don't bother me, don't bother me!" How could Mr. Jia still have any dislike or resistance?
She glared at Aunt Feng for a day: "You old slave, you dare to gossip about your master, it's really outrageous! Someone, sell this old thing!"
"I know I was wrong, madam! Please forgive me! I never dare to do it again!"
"Cousin, please let me go! Let me go!"
As she spoke, she wanted to grab the hem of Leng Lanzhi's skirt.
Leng Lanzhi frowned, lifted up the hem of her skirt, and the skirt slipped from Aunt Feng's hands.
Two servants entered the house, took Aunt Feng's arms and pulled her out.
"Shui Linglong, you are so cruel!"
"I just said a few words, but you actually want to sell me out! You vicious woman, you will die a good death!"
"You must die a happy death!"
Leng Lanzhi said indifferently: "I will definitely die, but you will never see that day."
A cold light flashed in Gu Zhan's eyes and he silently retreated.
Jia didn't think much and took Leng Lanzhi's hand: "Cousin, just treat this old pious woman as a fart and don't take it to heart!"
As she said that, she sighed heavily: "It's also my fault. I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and kept her in the first place. Who can be a good person if he can get along well in the previous governor's house?"
Leng Lanzhi asked curiously: "How do you say this?"
"This old godly woman was a steward of the previous governor's back house. After the previous governor's Dongchuang incident happened, the court was generous and did not sit together. It only dealt with the previous governor and his family. As for the servants in the mansion, Then it was handed back to Yahangli for sale.
This Aunt Feng was not a long-term servant. She only signed a short-term contract, but she used this ability to get into the position of the aunt in charge.
After the house was searched, she found me, knelt down and cried out how pitiful she was. As soon as I saw that there were indeed elders and younger children in her family, and her family was disabled, and all the burdens of the family's life fell on her, I kept her. Unexpectedly... Hi! "
She held Leng Lanzhi's hand tightly and said apologetically: "Cousin, it's all my fault for being blind and being blinded by Diao Nu. Don't be as knowledgeable as me!"
Leng Lanzhi wanted to take out his hand, but to no avail after trying several times, he had no choice but to give up and said with a smile: "What happened in the past is in the past. My cousin was also deceived by others. Besides, you didn't really do anything to apologize to me." matter, don’t dwell on it anymore.”
"Hey!" Mrs. Jia happily let go: "Whatever you want to eat, I'll let the kitchen cook it for you!"
Li Changlin and Wu Shangshu were busy all night and didn't come back.
"Miss, Governor Li has issued a new disaster relief order."
Gu Zhan entered the house holding a notice.
Leng Lanzhi nodded slightly when he saw the content on the notice: "In this way, we can ensure that the victims have food to eat."
The new decree stipulates that each household will receive food based on their head count. Each person can receive one bucket of rice based on their ID card, and can only receive it once.
In this way, anyone who wants to claim falsely or claim more than they should can no longer fish in troubled waters.
As for the beggars in the city...
The vast majority of beggars are refugees, or gangsters who have had no one to give them status since they were born.
Although they are not considered good citizens, the government cannot really care about their life or death.
For this group of people, the government made special number plates for them. After receiving the number plates, these people can use the number plates to receive food. Each number plate can only be received once.
These two decrees can ensure that everyone in the city will receive enough free grain without any accidents.
As for after eating all this food...
At that time, the impact of a sudden blizzard will be minimized, and life order in the city will gradually be restored, and there will no longer be a need to rely on the court for relief.
In the next few days, Li Changlin and Wu Shangshu were busy distributing food without touching the ground, and ate three meals a day outside.
Jia couldn't see her husband, but he came to chat with Leng Lanzhi every night.
Leng Lanzhi, who was used to being quiet and always waiting for new news: "..."
"Cousin, I'm telling you something new, but don't spread it out!" That night, Jia suddenly said mysteriously.
