Chen raised his head and glanced at Qi Yaoyao and said, "The previous dynasties were stipulated in this way, and the family members were not allowed to visit him. In addition, the transportation was inconvenient. The magistrate worked hard all year round. Only the sealing period was the twelfth lunar month to the 20th of the first lunar month of the following year was the sealing period. It was the magistrate's one-month holiday for the magistrate. The county town, chief clerk, clerk, etc. could handle the daily official duties of the county government." Then he said happily, "It has been changed now. I am afraid that the family will rely on the name of the county magistrate to harm the village and are allowed to take office."

"I see that the county magistrate has just arrived and has just taken office, so he has no confidants!" Qi Yaoyao said casually, tearing the quilt.

Chen put down the soles of the shoes in his hand and looked at her for thought and said, "I just came here, my butt is not hot yet! I am not familiar with human affairs!" He curled his lips and said, "The population in this county is small, with only more than 20,000 people, and there are not many people in the county government. Many of them hold multiple positions. Our Lu Ming not only has documents but also has a family! The annual salary is twelve taels of silver!"

After saying that, Chen picked up the sole of the shoe again and continued to accept it.

The most famous disciple, Leng Zixing! Qi Yaoyao said in his heart.

The gate is separated from the second hall of the county government and the courtyard gate of the lobby. This courtyard gate is called the house gate.

The door of the house is the throat that leads to the inner house. There are door rooms on both sides, which are the residence of the gatekeeper.

Menzi takes turns on duty day and night, and idle people are not allowed to enter.

This ovary is both a communication room and a security department.

Although Menzi has a low status, he does have the power of the magistrate's confidant, and it is inevitable that there will be people asking for help from him.

But if you want to meet a magistrate, you must have a disciple. Although the annual salary is not high, many visitors often bribe him for convenience. Otherwise, if you are turned away from him, you will not even meet the magistrate, so don’t mention doing anything.

This is the historical reason why modern people call "going around the door".

In a country with an official position, there are many common features in the officialdom in ancient and modern times.

"Not many." Qi Yaoyao smiled when she heard this.

It is indeed quite a lot. With the ancient standard of living, twenty taels of silver can support the family!

Qi Yaoyao took off all the sides of the quilt, took off her shoes, sat cross-legged on the straw mat, continued to remove the quilt, thought for a while and asked, "Is there a river nearby?"

"What do you want to do?" Chen looked up at her and said, the speed of work in his hands did not slow down at all.

"Catch fish!" Qi Yaoyao's dark eyes were full of smiles and said as expected, "Since the salary is not enough, you have to find a way yourself, right!"

"That fish is not delicious, it's too fishy." Chen curled his lips in disgust.

"How is it possible? Although there are a little more thorns, the fish meat is tender and the fish soup is delicious." Qi Yaoyao looked at her in surprise and said.

Chen Shi looked at her with clear eyes and thought, "That's what you eat. When we ordinary people eat, we should sprinkle salt at most. Of course, the taste is not very good."

"Don't add pepper, star anise, cumin, cinnamon, meat gran, cloves, and perilla." Qi Yaoyao said the most commonly used seasonings in one breath.

"Oh! It turns out that if they are put, the fish will not smell so much." Chen said suddenly, looking at her with great enlightenment, looking at her cute nodding like pounding garlic, and said ruthlessly, "But there are no these seasonings."

"No?" Qi Yaoyao suddenly raised his voice and said in disbelief.

"Why are you so surprised?" Chen looked at her with a funny look and said, "It's not the capital, what do you want? Apart from pepper, ginger, and other expensive ones are terrible, so we can't afford it. In addition, you may not be able to buy it even if you have money."

Chen put down the soles of his shoes in his hand, looked up at her seriously and said, "Qi, you can't ask us for food and drinks you usually eat and drink. Then my son can't afford you even if he sells himself." His eyes looked at her without a moment and said, "We have to do our best to eat, dress and family."

Qi Yaoyao tilted her head slightly and closed her eyes. Now she deeply realized the difficulty of ancient times. This is still the seventh-rank county magistrate!

"What's wrong? I'm a mother-in-law and can't talk about you anymore." Chen said as she looked at her silently.

"No." Qi Yaoyao raised her head and looked at her and said.

"It's really different." Chen looked her up and down and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"Just accept the facts." Qi Yaoyao's round and big eyes as clear as the moon said calmly at her.

"Hey! That's right!" Chen patted his thigh and said, "Stop thinking about it anymore, live a good life. How do you say that? Since you come, you can rest assured."

Qi Yaoyao looked up at the blue sky, without a trace of flowing clouds, clear and transparent, and it was great without air pollution, but when I thought of this inconvenient life, I wanted to cry!

Chen looked at her beautiful and picturesque look, and put on the soles of her shoes. It was not easy for the little girl to fall from her wealthy nest to the countryside, and no one could stand it.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!

Chen watched the quilt be removed, "Qi, please dry the quilt core on the clothesline." He went to the room and took out the clothes that Shen Zhouheng had just changed in the wooden basin, then placed the quilt and the quilt surface on the wooden basin, and then took it away.

He came back soon. Chen looked at Qi Yaoyao with a puzzled face and said, "I washed the pomegranate." Then he realized, "That Qi, you haven't changed your clothes for many days."

He still has a green jacket and a coral red skirt on his lower body.

"That..." Qi Yaoyao pursed her lips and looked at her, "I forgot."

"Forgot?" Chen said, looking at her in disbelief.

I really forgot that Qi Yaoyao still has no sense of reality, so I still have the mood to change clothes.

"I'll go and have a look now." Qi Yaoyao opened the door curtain and stepped on the threshold and entered the house, through the hall, and into the bedroom.

Qi Yaoyao opened the wardrobe and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately there are clothes to change."

The two of them had a clear distinction between their clothes, and the colors on her side were brighter, while his clothes were gray.

There weren't many clothes in the same way, and looking at the wardrobe felt empty.

Qi Yaoyao still needs to study how to wear this clothes?

Put your clothes on the bed and place them one by one.

Qi Yaoyao took off her clothes and remembered the order of the clothes, so she changed all the clothes.

He carried the changed clothes out of the room.

"You are all in silk and you are reminded to wash the pomegranates separately. You cannot use a stick to beat them, as they will be damaged." Chen reminded him as he looked at the clothes in her arms.

"Oh!" Qi Yaoyao responded, carrying her clothes to the well in the backyard, and placed half a circle of pomegranates around the pomegranate.

Pomegranate was sitting on a small bench, holding a stick and Bangbang's clothes.

"What is this?" Qi Yaoyao looked at the foam pounded out of the pomegranate.

Hearing the sound, Pomegranate quickly stood up and blessed her body. "Mrs." looked at her clothes along her gaze, "It's soapy croquette, for washing clothes."
