Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Xu Jingyi has been feeling uneasy ever since he left the city.

Although Duke Dingguo sent two aides to accompany him, he still felt uneasy.

He had never been involved in the Ministry of Revenue's business, and he never knew what the Ministry of Revenue was responsible for doing.

From the time he entered the Ministry of Revenue to the time he left the city to carry out his business, it took less than half a month in total. He was now completely in the dark and had no idea where to start.

Fortunately, Xu Jingyi was able to discuss things with the seniors from the Ministry of Revenue who came with him on the way, and if he really didn't understand, he could ask the staff of the Duke's Mansion.

Along the way, Xu Jingyi also understood most of the work done by the Ministry of Revenue.

Xu Jingyi was worried and angry, and he couldn't tell anyone around him. Finally, he thought of writing a letter to Zhou Chenli.

He had to report everything to Zhou Chenli in detail if he messed up his job that day.

I hope that the Duke will give him a chance to save his life because he writes letters and reports every day.

Xu Jingyi thought: He not only has to write a letter to Zhou Chenli, but also to the Minister of Revenue.

However, as his immediate superior, the Shangshu should just send him a letter asking about his well-being every once in a while.

Zhou Chenli is his last straw, so he has to write to him frequently to prevent the Duke from forgetting him.

So, Xu Jingyi started to send a letter to Zhou Chenli every three days to ask about his well-being on time.

In Xu Jingyi's opinion, it doesn't matter what he writes. What matters is that the Duke can think of him and remember him.

Therefore, Wen Anxin wrote a diary of events, as if he was treating Zhou Chenli as an old friend.

Zhou Chenli read two letters in a row, both of which were meaningless nonsense.

He threw the letter away and told the servant, "Next time you see a letter from Xu Jingyi, ask the doorman to deliver it to the front yard staff. I don't have time to care about his nonsense about what he eats and drinks."

The servant quickly replied with a smile, "I understand, sir. I'll tell the doorman in a moment. It will save you from having to worry about these letters."

Xu Miao has been living a fulfilling and happy life recently.

After these days of recuperation, Zhou Jiyuan's body completely recovered. After the imperial physician came to see him, he stopped all of Zhou Jiyuan's medications.

The story of Sun Wukong had been told in restaurants and teahouses for more than a month. One day, housekeeper Qian gave Xu Miao and Zhou Jiyuan one hundred taels of silver each.

It was said that this was the dividend from telling the story of Sun Wukong in restaurants and teahouses for a month.

Steward Qian probably wanted to please Zhou Jiyuan, so he didn't send any banknotes.

Instead, he neatly stacked the silver ingots on two plates, one for Xu Miao and one for Zhou Jiyuan.

Looking at the whole plate of shining silver, Zhou Jiyuan was so happy that he went crazy.

Pulling Xu Miao into the house, he told Buwang Yang Pozi to stand guard outside the door: "Mother Yang, no one can be let in, not even my mother."

Mrs. Yang was also happy to coax him, and quickly responded with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, I won't let even a fly go, haha."

Zhou Jiyuan and Xu Miao were like two happy little mice, sitting on Zhou Jiyuan's bed and happily counting the silver.

Zhou Jiyuan also lowered the curtains around the bed, isolating it from the outside space and turning the bed into a small private place.

The two people held the silver and counted it happily over and over again.

Zhou Jiyuan didn't know whether it was because of excitement or because the bed was too hot after the curtain fell, but a thin layer of sweat seeped out of the tip of his nose.

Smiling with eyes curved, she said to Xu Miao, "Sister, this is the first time I've earned money on my own. It feels so good."

Xu Miao was also excited: "A Yuan, this is also the first time I make money. I am happier than Yuan."

Although Xu Miao had received some silver before, it was all given to her as a reward by others, a bit like alms.

But this time it was different. She earned it legitimately, and Xu Miao was really happy.

I found the feeling of earning my own salary for the first time in my previous life.

Zhou Jiyuan continued excitedly: "With this money, I won't have to ask my mother for money when I go out."

"You don't know, every time I ask my mother for money, she talks to me in a lot of nonsense."

"She said my father worked hard to earn money and told me to save money. She didn't even know how to save money herself, she just told me to save money."

"With this money, I can buy whatever I want in the future."

Xu Miao looked at Zhou Jiyuan and asked, "What does Yuan like? Tell me about it."

Then, Zhou Jiyuan excitedly counted on his fingers and told Xu Miao.

"The sweet-scented osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake made by Yi Fu Tang is really delicious, but it's very expensive. I heard it costs three taels of silver to buy one. And they only make a few every day, so you have to queue up to buy one."

"My mom bought me one before, but she stopped buying me one later, saying it was too expensive and too troublesome to queue up."

"I've been wanting that taste for a long time. I have my own money this time, so I'm going to buy a few more and eat as much as I want."

After Zhou Jiyuan finished speaking, he pursed his lips, as if savoring the taste of the pastry.

At the same time, he took out four silver ingots from the plate and placed them aside.

"These are for buying pastries. I have to queue up myself tomorrow morning."

Xu Miao laughed so hard that she covered her mouth with her hands. "Yuan, wipe your mouth quickly! Your saliva is about to flow out. Besides cakes, what else is there?"

"Also, I saw a very beautiful large palace lantern a while ago. There were many flowers and birds painted around the lantern. When you light the candles, the birds start to spin. It's so beautiful."

"It's so big, it looks very expensive."

After saying that, Zhou Jiyuan gestured to Xu Miao about the size of the palace lantern.

"I've always wanted to buy it and hang it in my house. Now that I have some money, I'm going to ask the palace lantern how much it costs."

Xu Miao: "Okay, I'll go with you to see the palace lantern and ask the shopkeeper how much silver he wants."

"If the money this time isn't enough, there should be more next month."

Zhou Jiyuan got even more excited when he heard this: "Oh, yes, there will be money next month. Hehe, that's great, I can buy that cake next time."

When Xu Miao heard this, he realized that it was all about eating and playing, and he was only thinking about eating, drinking and having fun.

Speaking of next month's money, Xu Miao thought of what happened when Butler Qian found her a few days ago.

He asked if there were any other Monkey King-related toys that he wanted to sell at the restaurant along with the picture albums and dolls.

Xu Miao suppressed his greed and didn't tell Butler Qian that he could also add a popular theme song.

Xu Miao always told herself to stay calm, because any extra greed would be her death warrant.

He told the story of Sun Wukong and taught Zhou Jiyuan to draw a picture album and make a doll.

If he could come up with another song, Xu Miao would feel that he was very capable and very eye-catching.

This is absolutely not possible.

Seeing Xu Miao was silent, Zhou Jiyuan thought she was thinking about how to spend the money, so he quickly asked, "Sister, how do you want to spend this money?"

Xu Miao pulled himself back to his thoughts and replied.

"Of course I have to send some to my mother, and also to my grandfather."

"Also, I want to buy a gift for Yuan, but I can't afford the palace lantern he likes. What should I buy for him?"

"Also, I want to buy something for Madam. Steward Qian and Mother Yang as well."

Xu Miao really wanted to buy a gift for Zhou Jiyuan. Now she treated Zhou Jiyuan as her own brother and loved him from the bottom of her heart.

When Zhou Jiyuan heard that Xu Miao was going to buy him a gift, he went up to Xu Miao, hugged her arm, and rubbed his face against her arm like a good little cat.

"A Yuan, thank you Sister Xu. Otherwise, Sister Xu would buy Yuan that steamed chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar."

"I saved the money for the cakes and used it for other things. This cake is a bit expensive, and I feel a little sorry for the money."

Xu Miao smiled and patted Zhou Jiyuan on the head: "You are plotting against me."

Zhou Jiyuan smiled with his eyes curved and nodded, and the two of them started giggling together on the bed.

Xu Miao suddenly thought of having a drink, so she said to Zhou Jiyuan, "A Yuan, I suddenly want to have a drink to celebrate."

When you are so happy, it would be great to have a drink to cheer you up!

After hearing this, Zhou Jiyuan lifted the curtain, walked to the table under the bed, poured two cups of tea, and handed one to Xu Miao.

His face was tense, and he said to Xu Miao seriously, "Sister, Yuan swears. When Yuan grows up and can drink, he will definitely give you this glass of wine."

"Now let's drink tea instead of wine to commemorate the occasion."

Seeing Zhou Jiyuan so serious, Xu Miao quickly got off the bed.

He walked over, took the teacup, and held Zhou Jiyuan in his arms.

"A Yuan, I've made a note of this. I'll wait for you to grow up and treat me to this glass of wine."

Many years later, when Xu Miao and Zhou Jiyuan recalled that day, they both felt very warm.

But this warmth did not last for a few days and was broken by Zhou Jiyuan.

The reason is naturally because of the goblins.
