Wealth and glory seek stability

The Preserved Fruit Bureau was in charge of purchasing all kinds of preserved fruits and dried fruits in the palace. Two taels of silver could buy ten plates of fruit, and some people could still be rich, and the rest was what was commonly known as hard work pay.

No matter where you are, as long as you have money you can live well.

The palace is a small society and it is not as sad as one might imagine.

Jian Xi's days are unusually idle every day.

Her regular job was to read storybooks, and since she had a good relationship with Qiangwei, there were always people assigned to do the rough and odd jobs in the yard.

In her previous life, she worked all year round to buy a house, so her life in this life is abnormally idle.

Is she really a bitch? !

Do you feel uncomfortable if you don’t work for a day?

According to her observation, the maids in Yulan Courtyard did not have much work to do on a daily basis, and everyone seemed to be accustomed to this comfort. Although the maids in her room had fixed hours on duty every day, she had asked Caiyun and Laixi, and they spent most of their time chatting while on duty.

Caixia followed Dingxiang and learned embroidery skills in the compartment in the inner courtyard every day. When she encountered something she didn't understand, she would often ask Jian Xi for help.

Taking advantage of today's free time, Jian Xi followed the original owner's touch and began to sew summer clothes for several people.

The clothes that third-class maids usually wear are simple, without complicated patterns, and they only need to be pieced together from cut pieces of cloth.

The pieces of silk that Qiangwei picked out were silver-red in color, with faint patterns flowing on them, which looked very beautiful.

It also saves Jian Xi the effort of embroidering.

Just after sewing two sets of clothes, Caixia came back with a sewing kit.

"Sister, are you making clothes?"

"Yes, today the Madam gave me a lot of fabrics. I saw that these two pieces of fabrics were bright and shiny, so I thought of making a set of clothes for the four of us. It just so happens that you are back, so come and help me."

"Okay, I'll come right away."

Caixia has been trained so much that sewing simple clothes is no problem for her now.

With Caixia's help, the two of them quickly sewed four sets of clothes.

The hem is specially made longer for beauty.

"Here are some pieces of cotton material. Let's make a lining. This way it's simple and beautiful."

Jian Xi took out a piece of moon-white cotton cloth and gestured, the costumes of the characters in the TV series in her previous life emerged in her mind.

Normally, they wore clothes that were uniformly made for the maids in the courtyard, and the little maids all wore short pants.

Only the slightly wealthier maids had the money to make themselves some nice dresses to wear.

"Great! Lai Xi is a girl who loves to show off. When she comes back to know that her sister paid for her skirt, she will be so happy." Caixia laughed while covering her mouth.

The clothes that Jian Xi made for Shen Nanxing were delivered to the military camp, causing a commotion.

"Shen Nanxing, there's your package!"

"coming."

There was no fighting in the military camp on a daily basis, and the families of the soldiers would often send some clothes or letters.

Shen Nanxing didn't expect that he would also receive a package from his family.

Baili Yanhua changed his name to Bai Hua and was assigned to the same camp as Shen Nanxing. The two were inseparable and looked like good brothers.

"Of course! My family hasn't sent me anything since I came here. When you come here, you get letters from time to time. There's such a big package, will there be something delicious? Open it and take a look."

Baili Yanhua's eyes were almost glowing green. Ever since he came to the military camp, he could only eat steamed bread and wild vegetables every day, and his mouth was almost dry.

Shen Nanxing felt a warm feeling in his heart. It felt good to be thought of by his family when he was away from home.

When I opened the package, I found two sets of clothes with fine stitching, socks made of soft cotton cloth, and two pairs of boots with thousand-layer soles.

There were also two large oil paper bags and a letter inside.

Baili Yanhua smelled the fragrance emanating from the oil paper bag and snatched it away to open it.

“It’s pork jerky!”

"good to eat."

The pork jerky is made from top-quality pork that Jian Xi bought herself. It was marinated, fried over high heat, sprinkled with spices, and dried in the sun for a full half month.

Thinking that Shen Nanxing probably didn't have much meat to eat in the military camp and that he was in the period of growing up, I gave him two big bags.

"Is it that delicious?"

Before Baili Yanhua could swallow the food, he grabbed two more handfuls and said incoherently, "What a good thing Zeng did. You are so unruly."

Shen Nanxing picked up a piece of dried meat and put it in his mouth.

Fragrant!

An extremely overbearing smell of spices mixed with the aroma of meat rushed straight to the top of my head.

too delicious!

The two men were both teenagers, eating happily together, and soon everyone else in the tent was attracted over.

"What smells so good?"

"Bai Hua, Shen Nanxing, what are you two eating?"

“It’s not good to eat alone.”

"Yeah, there's something delicious."

Shen Nanxing and Baili Yanhua froze.

Forget it, I’m afraid we can’t keep these foods.

Shen Nanxing smiled innocently and said, "My sister missed me so much that she sent me some clothes and dried meat. Brother Wang, you guys should try some too."

They lived in the same tent, but when they were on the battlefield, they were brothers who would go through life and death together, so he was willing to give up a little food.

It’s just that the jerky is so fragrant that I can only try to eat more.

Baili Yanhua on the side didn't care about so much. His mouth was full and his hands were full.

Before, Shen Nanxing hadn't agreed, and everyone was too embarrassed to ask for food, but now that they had permission, all ten people in a tent joined in the fight for the dried meat.

The two large bags of dried meat were eaten up by the gun.

After eating, Liu Wu couldn't help but suck off the remaining spices on his fingers.

"Shen Nanxing, you are a righteous man. When we go to the battlefield in the future, we will definitely take good care of you two."

"Thank you very much, Brother Liu Wu."

Shen Nanxing took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, divided the clothes and socks in the package into two parts, and handed one to Baili Yanhua.

"this is for you."

When Baili Yanhua arrived at the military camp, Xia Shi really did as she said at the beginning and did not take any care of him at all. Even the clothes he wore were the same ones he brought with him at the beginning.

"Thanks, brother. It's great to have a sister. It's a pity that I don't have one. Don't worry, your sister will be my sister from now on." Baili Yanhua said as he took out new socks and boots and put them on. Fortunately, Shen Nanxing and Baili Yanhua had similar body shapes and feet, so the boots fit them perfectly.

Baili Yanhua stood up and stepped on the new boots. "Not bad, your sister has good skills. The soles of these boots are thick and strong, better than those made by my family. The boots I wore before had a big hole in the soles." The army received military pay every month, but Baili Yanhua used all the money he was paid to buy food. He couldn't even afford a pair of decent boots.

Shen Nanxing simply couldn't bear to see Baili Yanhua's silly look.

Open the only envelope inside:

Dear Brother Shen Nanxing

I wonder how you are doing lately, brother. I bought a house in the capital, the third one on Songzi Lane, and registered it in your name. If you need anything during your rest period in the army, you can come to my house for a small gathering. I also made two sets of clothes for you to wear during your daily training. I have money on hand, so you can keep your military pay and buy some food for yourself. You don't have to send it all to me. Other snacks are not easy to store. I will send you some dried meat and candied fruits every month. If there is anything you need, you can ask someone to send me a message and I will send it to you next month.

Don't think about it

Sister Jian Xi pays respects to you

It turns out that his sister Xier is so amazing!
