Grandma also told Han Qiao to eat quickly.

The wontons bought on the street actually tasted nice.

It was not as good as the ones Aunt Zhao had made.

However, Han Qiao just wanted to eat, so she ate a fewwontons, a small steamed bun, and two bites of sesame seed cake.

Then, she couldn’t eat anymore.

The three children were very full in the morning and could not eat more either.

Grandma was not a gluttonous person, so she didn’t eat much.

In the end, Heng Yi sat beside Han Qiao and finished everything. Nothing was left behind, not even the soup.

He was a person who cherished food and would never throw it away.

Furthermore, he loved eating Han Qiao’s leftovers.

After breakfast, Han Qiao went to the kitchen to make some dry food for Bai Cha to eat on the road.

“Make less and bring him two more cotton jackets, cotton pants, a few more pairs of shoes, and a straw cape and straw hat.”

Bai Cha rode out on a horse. He did not need to pull the carriage as the horse ran fast.

It would take more than ten days to reach the wasteland.

Han Qiao gave Bai Cha fifty taels of silver as travel expenses.

“When you’re out, eat what you want to eat. Don’t be stingy.”

“Before you pass, change the silver notes into silver scraps. It’s best if you follow the escort agencies and caravans.”

“Be careful and return safely.” Han Qiao warned.

Bai Cha nodded.

“Don’t worry, Madam. I will return safely.”

Heng Yi sent Bai Cha outside the county town.

He didn’t say anything and just patted Bai Cha’s shoulder.

“Stay safe.”

“I will!”

Bai Cha mounted his horse and rode away.

Heng Yi turned around and drove the carriage home.

Meanwhile, Han Qiao also met the newly bought servant.

Initially, she had a good impression of Butler Hu’s family, but after what happened last night, Han Qiao felt that she should reconsider his family.

Han Qiao redistributed the work.

Butler Hu had very little to do.

Auntie Zhao was basically in charge of the kitchen, including buying vegetables and food.

Auntie Hu arranged for people to clean the yard and pack up. Occasionally, she would need to go shopping.

“Since you have come to the residence to be servants, 1 hope you understand that you have to do whatever 1 arrange for you to do. I will not leave behind those who cheat.”

“There will be monthly money and rewards.”

“Of course, you have to be diligent, hardworking, and obedient.”

“If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you don’t do well, you will be punished.

I won’t beat you up, I will directly only sell you back.”

When Han Qiao said this, everyone responded in unison, “Yes.”

There was a monthly fee between the gatekeeper, the servant girl, and the old woman. How much was the monthly fee?

An old woman stood up and said, “When I was in the squire’s house, the monthly salary for a servant girl was three hundred coppers, and the monthly salary for a senior servant girl was one tael of silver.”

Han Qiao felt that the cost was feasible.

However, she only needed a senior servant girl by her side, and this senior servant girl had to be chosen from one of the six servant girls.

It was also a chance for them to compete.

The maids and old maids who took care of He Cheng were bought separately to take care of He Cheng.

Han Qiao gave them five hundred copper coins a month in hopes that they could take good care of He Cheng and bring him to the courtyard to play and sunbathe

The manservant had to do a lot of work, which would also cost five hundred copper coins a month.

If the child didn’t eat or drink like this, the monthly expenses spent on him wouldn’t be as high.

Grandma felt sorry for the money. After returning to the courtyard, she leaned on the bed and cried out a few times.

Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke were even more dumbfounded.

Before July, they only earned 100 copper coins a month and couldn’t even bear to eat a bun.

Now, the monthly salary of the servant girl, old woman, manservant, and Butler Hu was close to ten taels.

There was also Lady Lin.

Han Qiao was very calm.

The maids and old women were all good at needlework, so Han Qiao asked them to hurry up and make the clothes for the New Year.

In the main courtyard, there was an old woman who was in charge of boiling water and a servant girl who was in charge of serving tea, pouring water, and cleaning the house.

Each of them had three days, and Han Qiao would choose one of them to be her maidservant. The monthly salary was one tael and one month.

Therefore, the few maids worked hard to show off in front of Han Qiao.

Heng Yi also took some time to report to the government office.

Although he was only a bailiff in the government office, the Feng family had made arrangements for him, and the county magistrate had even personally met Heng Yi and summoned Constable Qin.

“This is Heng Yi. You can take care of him in the future.” County Magistrate Wu said.

“Yes, sir!”

Constable Qin agreed.

He glanced at Heng Yi.

He knew of Heng Yi. He heard that he was strong and could hunt tigers alone.

He never entered the mountains empty-handed.

Moreover, he had a good relationship with the Feng family.

He had used his connections to get Heng Yi to come to his side.

“Constable Qin, please take care of me in the future.” Heng Yi cupped his fists.

“Alright, alright!”

County Magistrate Wu asked Constable Qin to bring Heng Yi down to familiarize himself with the others.

“We constables are paid two taels of silver a month. We will have a few sets of clothes and a sword.”

“I can’t.” Heng Yi said.

“Silly boy, if you push me down and make me a constable, won’t I be promoted?”

“…” Heng Yi paused, then nodded.

He wanted to get used to how he should communicate with others.

He couldn’t go hunting in the mountains for the rest of his life.

He wanted to take a different path.

Scholars, farmers, and businessmen, he wanted to be an official, but he couldn’t be a high-ranking official.

There was no case today, so Constable Qin and his team were all here.

They had heard of Heng Yi for a long time.

They mainly wanted to follow him into the mountains to hunt when they were free to earn some extra money.

Two taels of silver a month sounded like a lot, but the family needed to eat, drink, and wear. They also had to communicate with others. They had to live on a tight budget. If they fell sick, it would be difficult.

What Heng Yi didn’t know was that Constable Qin and Constable Wang had almost fought over him.

“Coming, coming.”

They were all young people in their twenties, and they were all very enthusiastic.

Heng Yi looked at the six men in front of him.

“Lin Dabao.”

“Wen Yu.”

“Bai Jihang.”

“Gu Jiu.”

“Zhao Yiyi.”

“Deng Guoqing.”

Heng Yi watched them introduce themselves.

He said, “Heng Yi.”

These six people were easy to remember.

Lin Dabao was fat, Wen Yu was thin, Bai Jihang was tall, Gu Jiu was short, and Deng Guoqing had two dimples.

After they were familiar with each other, Constable Qin took Heng Yi to get his official uniform.

No matter how unpresentable a constable was, he was still a small official.

“There are four seasons in a year, and there are two sets of official uniforms in each season. You’re lucky, kid. You get two sets before the new year and two sets after the new year.”

Because of the cold weather, the official uniform before the new year still had a cotton jacket, official boots, belt, sword, and waist tag.

“You must take good care of your waist token and sword. If you lose them, report them immediately. Do you know how to use a sword?”

“A little.” Heng Yi replied.

Constable Qin smiled and said, “Let’s spar sometime. If you’re good at martial arts, you’ll be the one to catch the criminals in the future.”

“We all have some martial arts, but if you ask whether we’re strong, well… We can’t kill anyone in the world.”

Heng Yi nodded.

He hugged the items in his arms.

It was a little heavy, but he didn’t think it was heavy.

It was because the meaning of this gift was different.

From then on, he bid farewell to Bai Ding and became an official.

Naturally, it was also the beginning of a new chapter in his life..
