People have been coming to the Shen family courtyard for three consecutive days, and the scene is as lively as the streets of Kyoto.
Shen Xingqi began to think about returning gifts when Su Zhan was greeting the other party. She received precious medicinal materials, jewelry, silk and satin from aristocratic families such as Wu'an Hou, and various fruit wines. She remembered that her friends had said before that her elders were very kind. like.
Just do what you like, the Shen family has never been short of fruit wine.
In addition, Shen Xingluo has made friends with many students from ordinary backgrounds these days. Most of the gifts he sends are books. The aunts in the neighborhood give them all kinds of gifts, such as a piece of cloth and a pound of sugar. A green onion has everything.
Shen Xingqi had already planned it and cooked a lot of pastries herself and sent them back.
After sending the last guest out, she turned back to look at the gifts in the yard.
“Oh, why are there so many vegetables?”
White radish, water spinach, yam, and eggplant. I didn’t think they were anything just now, but they were all piled together like a small mountain, which was very spectacular. .
“Yesterday I was still worrying about winter vegetables, now it’s better, I don’t even have to go to Zhuangzi.”
These alone are enough for them to eat until spring.
Alas, the "enthusiasm" of the neighbors is really overwhelming~(*^▽^*)~
"It means it saves us a trip."
< br>Cheng Xi answered, paused and looked at Su Zhan aside, "By the way, the difficulty at the city gate How are the people doing? "
"In the past few days, officials and their families have been giving rice and cotton clothes, and officials from the DPRK and China are also discussing how to resettle the victims. Now the situation has stabilized."
" Can the Kyoto granary survive? ”
When Su Zhan heard this, he was not surprised that she asked this question which could be called a highly confidential matter. After all, the hostess sorted out the information collected from various places from time to time and knew exactly what they were doing.
However, it was difficult for him to answer this question.
So Cheng Xi saw the Shen family housekeeper's face darken, shook his head and nodded.
Ah, can I hold this or not?
“You don’t know either?”
"My subordinates know." Su Zhan said: "There is indeed still grain in the granaries in various places. If all is released, it can solve the urgent need. We will definitely be able to persist until the new grain is produced next year. However, now that the court is divided into two factions, each expressing its own opinion, I am afraid it will be difficult to live up to the expectations of the world. I wish.”
In short, if there is food, it is not certain whether it can be eaten by the refugees.
Cheng Xi understood that there are people who work for the country and the people, and there are people who work for life and profit, and this will never change.
I'm afraid it will be another tug of war.
She waved her hand in a bachelor manner, "Let your young master worry about national affairs."
Su Zhan: "."
Young Master is really working hard.
Butler Su put away the brush and handed the registered book to Shen Xingqi, "Do you want the second lady to deal with these vegetables, or should your subordinates send them directly to the cellar for storage?"
" Save it first, don’t rush.”
Shen Xingqi had already inspected her territory, took the book and arranged it in a very orderly manner.
“Yes.”
So Su Zhan went back and forth several times and spent a lot of effort to store the unique gifts for the aunts.
The neighbors who received all kinds of cakes were also very happy at this time. They originally wanted to give a gift to please them so that they could ask for help in the future, but they did not expect to receive such a good gift in return. .
“This Shen Zhuangyuan is really grand. Wow, the pastries are so delicious!”
"What I'm talking about is that my little grandson kept saying it was delicious."
"The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is soft and glutinous. My mother-in-law has been unable to eat it for several days because of her bad teeth. It's good to eat it in one sitting today. A few bucks!" (End of this chapter)
