The King of Jin asked Shen Dong to deliver the things to the villagers of Taohua Village.
Every household had a bag of rice, a piece of cloth, and some delicacies from land and sea. In addition, every child in every household had a silver bracelet.
As for the New Year gifts to the Xingnong family, the King of Jin personally pushed a cart to deliver them.
When the King of Jin pushed his cart over, he found several carriages leaving from the gate of Xingnong's courtyard.
The king of Jin pushed the cart into the yard and found that the small yard was full of things, all of which were New Year gifts from others.
He secretly felt lucky that he happened to be giving the New Year gift today!
He happily pushed the cart in and said, "Auntie Gu, I'm here to give you New Year gifts!"
Gu was overwhelmed when she saw the cart full of things filled with the king of Jin. There was no place to put so many things in the house.
She waved her hand: "We are all neighbors, you are too polite, there is no need to give it to us! Just take it back!"
With so many things, she couldn't sleep well at night because she was afraid of attracting thieves!
The King of Jin put down the cart and said, "These are just some food, not worth much money. My whole village has given them away! Aunt Gu, please accept them! I have to go to other places to deliver New Year gifts, so I'm leaving first!"
The king of Jin was afraid that Gu would refuse, so he put down the cart, turned around and left.
Gu: “… .”
Gu felt overwhelmed looking at the things filling the yard.
The New Year gifts in this courtyard were sent by Shopkeeper Zhao, who Chu Tiankuo had arranged in advance. Some were sent by Ren Zilin, some were sent by Elder Kong and Elder Tang, and some were sent by the Zhang family and the shopkeeper. No one knew if they had agreed to come together today to send New Year gifts.
Each of them was given a large carriage.
Xing Nong said, "Move all the things into the house first, I'll register them so I can return the gift."
This was the only way, Gu nodded and said, "Let's all move in! Remember not to mix up the gifts from each family."
Xing Nong saw a gift list on the box and said, "No, there are gift lists!"
So the whole family worked together to move the New Year gifts into the house.
The gifts they sent were similar: 100 kilograms of grain, rice and flour each, several kilograms of dried seafood such as abalone, bird's nest, shark fin, scallops, etc., as well as tea, cloth, fur, porcelain, and jade ornaments.
The most shocking thing is that they even gave a box of gold!
It can be said that except Ren Zilin who did not send a box of gold, the others all sent a box of gold nuggets of various shapes.
Gu was dumbfounded: "This, this can't be accepted! Xingnong, you must return the gifts to everyone tomorrow!"
The King of Jin also gave a set of headgear to Gu, Chen Ruoxi, Xing Nong, and Xing Qing, and a famous inkstone to Xing Hui.
When Gu saw such expensive jewelry, she shook her head and said, "It's too expensive. We can't take it! We'll return it to him tomorrow!"
Xing Nong nodded: "Okay."

At night, after the family had dinner, Xingnong went back to the house to write a list of return gifts.
As for what gift to give in return, she had already thought about it and was ready.
One is the various snacks in the snack workshop, ten kilograms of each, filling a basket.
The second thing is the fresh fruits and dried fruits in the creation space. There are not many fresh fruits to eat in this season, so they are also rare things. These things make up two baskets.
The third is a pot of requiem grass. Priceless treasure!
The fourth item is a hundred-year-old ginseng.
Xing Nong had resurrected ginseng before. Every day that ginseng grows in the creation space is equivalent to one year of growth.
This thing is valuable, so she planted a few pots, and a while ago it was exactly enough for a hundred days, or a hundred years.
The next morning, Gu reminded Xingnong again to remember to return the boxes of gold to the other party, and then she went to the workshop with Xingqing to work with big dark circles under her eyes.
There were too many valuable things in the house, and she was so worried that she couldn't sleep well all night!
Xing Nong naturally agreed, but she did not send them off. Instead, she put the boxes of gold nuggets into the space.
Xing Nong is going to deliver New Year gifts today, so Shen Ruoxi stays at home to do housework.
Xingnong arranged for Songbai to help deliver the New Year gifts to the county town to Ren Zilin, Kong Lao and others. She herself carried a basket and went up the mountain to personally deliver gifts to Tang Lao, and also delivered clothes to Chu Zijun.

The King of Jin and Shen Hanyu were very surprised when they received Xingnong’s New Year gift!
He pointed at the pot of requiem and asked his son across from him, "Is this requiem?"
Shen Hanyu leaned in to smell it, nodded, and then said, “Dad, is the gift you gave too shabby?”
“… … .”
The King of Jin glared at Shen Hanyu and said, “Your royal sister needs those magic pills in the hands of the Zhao Kingdom’s magic doctor. I’ll leave this to you!”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes widened when he heard this: “Those pills of Zhao Guo’s divine doctor are more important than his life, how can I get them!”
The King of Jin stood up and said, "This is what you should think of! You haven't given your sister a New Year's gift yet!"
Shen Hanyu: “…”
Before the King of Jin walked out of the house, he left a message: "Your sister has been poisoned by a mandarin duck snake and needs those pills to cure the poison. Just borrow them and take a look!"
He had to fetch water for his wife to water the vegetables, and by the way, give her the hairpin he bought yesterday.
Yesterday he bought a white jade hairpin alone, intending to please his wife today!
Shen Hanyu's face changed when he heard this: "I heard that the genius doctor from Zhao State came to Chu State and is treating the son of the Prime Minister of Chu State in the capital! I will send someone to find him now!"

Courtyard patio
Shen Ruoxi is pouring water on the dishes.
The King of Jin came in carrying a load of water. He took a look at the water tank and saw that it was full. He pursed his lips. That Zhao Yong didn't show any respect at all!
Fortunately, he was only doing some work like fetching water!
After all, he has been busy sending goods from the workshop to the city to sell, and he doesn't have as much time to spend with Ruoxi as himself.
Shen Ruoxi saw the King of Jin greet him politely: “Brother Shen, Brother Zhao has already filled the water tank, so there is no need to trouble you.”
The King of Jin placed the bucket in the vegetable field and said: "It doesn't matter, I can use this water to water the vegetables."
He put down the bucket, but did not immediately water the vegetables. Instead, he walked to Shen Ruoxi, took out the white jade hairpin from his arms, and inserted it directly into her bun.
Shen Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, she put down the water scoop, reached out to touch it, and touched a hairpin, she wanted to take it off.
The King of Jin held her hand and said, "Don't move. I saw this hairpin yesterday and I think it suits you very well."
He took out a peep show from his arms, opened it, and motioned for Shen Ruoxi to take a look.
Xing Nong also had such a clear peep show, and Shen Ruoxi was not surprised, but she looked at the white magnolia hairpin in the black hair and fell in love with it at first sight!
But it’s too expensive!
She took it off anyway and handed it to him: "It's too expensive. I can't have it."
The New Year gift he gave me yesterday included a set of ruby headpieces, which was too expensive.
The King of Jin took it and inserted it into her hair again: "No matter how valuable something is, it is not as precious as you. Besides, the money Xingnong earned for the Guest House is nothing compared to this hairpin. Wear it! It looks very beautiful. I also bought some for Xingnong, Xingqing, and Aunt Gu. I also bought some for all the children in the village."
It's just not a hairpin.
Shen Ruoxi: “…”
The whole village
Isn't this person too rich? !
God knows, the King of Jin specially gave silver bracelets to all the children in the village so that she could get the hairpin he gave her!
