"Okay, both, both." Xu Qilin drew the girl's little face in a doting way. Although this sister is young, she is quite good at dealing with things.

You should know that in history, the younger sister of the Xu family would become the concubine of Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, and was also a very talented woman.

After the girl interrupted this, Xu Qilin didn't want to think about it anymore. After saying that, he was not quick enough, could the elder sister punish herself?

After a while of a delay, the palace servant brought the book, and Xu Qilin said goodbye and went back.

Although I am underage, I don’t have to be too polite in front of my sister, but I am not as relaxed and free as at home.

Xu Hui did not ask about poetry anymore, probably because she was afraid that her younger brother would be embarrassed in front of everyone. She just gave her a few more instructions carefully and took out two small golden cakes and gave them to her younger brother.

You should know that the ninth concubine is the second rank, and he also has a salary. He is nine jin per month and 470 shi of rice per year.

Although it is not like a normal Beijing official who has extra income such as a job field and a literate class, but as an emperor's woman, she also pays for food and drink in the palace. Aren't you wasting His Majesty the Emperor?

Eating, drinking and using food, drinking and using it does not cost money, so I usually give you a small amount of money to the palace servants, and the emperor can also give you a reward from time to time.

So, Xu Hui took out two small golden cakes at once, about four ounces, or more than enough, without any pressure.

It’s better for my sister, it’s easy to get the golden cake! Xu Qilin sighed for a moment, thanked him and kept it.

According to the exchange ratio at that time, one tael of gold can be exchanged for six jin of coins, and one thousand coins can be made of coins, weighing about eight or nine jin.

These two golden cakes are equivalent to twenty-four jin of coins, and multiplied by eight - this, this, almost two hundred jin!

Xu Qilin, the little master, walked out of the palace with 200 pounds, even if he pressed his body, he would become a dead dog!

Xu Hui must have thought of this, that kind of situation is too much. Besides, the concubines did not pay money to get their wages, but they were converted into gold cakes or silk.

After holding the golden cake, Xiao Zhao had already jumped onto the couch, and his calves were bent and stretched out to try.

Xu Qilin smiled and turned his body into a monkey. The little girl was already giggling and jumping onto his back, wrapping her hands around his neck.

Xu Hui smiled and shook her head, not saying harsh words. Although it was not in line with the etiquette, both parents died, and the brother and sister were in love, which made people feel warm when they looked at it.

Xu Qilin walked to the door of the hall with the girl on her back and received the girl's reminder. He quickly turned around and said goodbye to the two little princesses.

The little princess is still just concerned about playing and loves the newly acquired rag doll.

Princess Jinyang raised her pink face and stared cutely. She looked at her brother with her sister on her back and walked away while talking and laughing. Her eyes couldn't help but look envious.

…………………

My sister is a concubine, is she considered the uncle? Is she very awesome?

Don’t be fooled by the things in the play. At least in the early Tang Dynasty, it was not something worth boasting about, and was held and offered to others.

Besides, the true uncle should be the brother of the queen or the queen mother. Like Changsun Wuji, he is the veritable uncle.

As a concubine's brother, a very small number of people who flatter you may call you the uncle, but the most common one is to call your official position.

In other words, Xu Qilin is nothing now and can only be called "Young Master" by others.

Now, Mr. Xu, who convinced his sister and was determined to do a great career, has returned home, namely the Xu Mansion.

Xu Qilin's father Xu Xiaode officially served in the Tang Dynasty around the first year of Zhenguan. He initially served as the magistrate of Brazilian County in Mianzhou and the magistrate of Yique County in Luoyang Prefecture, both of whom were small officials of the eighth and ninth rank.

Later, due to his outstanding work, Xu Xiaode was successfully promoted to the Chief Secretary of the Prince's Mansion, and entered the ranks of Beijing officials. Later, he was appointed as the Chief Secretary.

Shortly after Xu Hui entered the palace, Xu Xiaode was promoted to the Ministry of Rites by Emperor Taizong, and was ranked as the sixth rank.

Originally, with his daughter's favor, Comrade Xu's career was quite bright. But unlike in history, the old Xu and his wife suddenly became infected one after another and died of illness.

The so-called tea is cold when people walk, and the same is true in ancient and modern times.

Although Xu Hui was promoted to one of the nine concubines, the family had no pillars and only the hundreds of acres of land purchased by Xu outside the city after becoming a Beijing official, and his life was not very prosperous.

As for his eldest brother Xu Qidan, he was only seventeen years old. Although he was named Hongwensheng by Li Er, he was only admitted as an exception and could go to Hongwenguan, a noble school, to continue his studies. His future still requires the imperial examinations to enter the officialdom.

Of course, Hongwensheng has no salary, but the requirements for the imperial examinations are lower than that of ordinary children, and that's all.

Therefore, Xu Hui gave Xu Qilin golden cakes not to let him spend them randomly, but to take them back to supplement the household expenses.

However, Xu Hui didn't know that this little brother had already started to make money to support his family and made his first pot of gold.

When he got home, Xu Qilin asked the servant to sew another doll for his sister. As for the one he wanted to give to the little princess, Xu Qilin felt that designing a few new styles would definitely be more effective.

Sitting in the study, he took the paper and charcoal pen, thought about it for a moment, and then a kitty cat jumped onto the paper. After a little modification, he took out another piece of paper and gave a Winnie Bear...

Then, I put on a red short coat and a blue apron, my skin was pale yellow, and my mouth was turned upturned, turning it into a smiling and happy look.

Seeing the cute Winnie Bear on the paper, even Xu Qilin couldn't help but smile.

Then I painted the kitty cat pink. Although the color was not very positive, it could be seen that it was a little girl, and the bow was proof.

In his study, Xu Qilin felt relaxed and comfortable. Tables and chairs were all styles of later generations, also known as high-foot furniture.

If Xu Qilin made some high-foot furniture, or even soft sofas, wouldn’t it be a way to make money?

Xu Qilin thought so at first, but the strength of customs quickly dispelled this idea.

What to sit and how to sit is not a question of whether you feel comfortable or not. It is a ritual system, a concept of etiquette that has been formed over a long period of time.

For example, although the couch is short, you can sit with your legs hanging down. When your legs bend, you can just treat it as a stool or a small stool.

But your relaxed and casual sitting posture may make people feel that they are very close and familiar and unceremonious; but more often, they will be regarded as rude and offensive.

Therefore, Xu Qilin could only feel comfortable first, and in his own small world.

When outside, I can only endure it, feel uncomfortable, and try to pretend to be dignified and polite.

Moreover, after suddenly traveling to the Tang Dynasty, Xu Qilin was really confused for several days.

Xu Qilin felt very inferior after recalling the invincible deeds of the protagonist in the time travel novel and then analyzing himself thoroughly.

How powerful are those time travelers? Ancient poems are available at will, but there are not even 800, but there are one thousand. When writing the book "Three Kingdoms" and "Red Buildings" are memorized like a stream; cement, glass, and steel are shaping, setting off a frenzy of industrial revolution.
