The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1061

Chapter 1061: Chapter 886, Giving Gifts

People from the Xiao Residence arrived at the Gan State Guard not at the most opportune time, nearly at the year’s end. After arriving, Xiao Yeyang got busy with patrol duties and Daohua was preoccupied with arrangements; before they knew it, the new year had arrived.

After the new year, there were grains to be gathered and refugees to be dealt with. Once those issues were resolved, they had to hurry with the spring plowing. In no time, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived.

It was around this time that Daohua finally had some leisure to think about diplomacy.

Clearly, the Dragon Boat Festival was an excellent opportunity.

Baskets delicately customized with the mark of the Xiao Residence were neatly arranged on the table. Daohua checked them against a list of officials from the guard, assured nothing was amiss, and then opened one to inspect its contents.

Several strings of dumplings with various fillings, a bamboo box of salted duck eggs, a jar of tea, a kettle of yellow wine, two packages of snacks, and several sachets of fragrances.

The size of the baskets varied depending on the rank of the official, as did the contents, though the amount of items remained the same.

After inspecting everything, Daohua had Guyu dispatch people to deliver the gifts to the officials. "Remember, don’t deliver them to the wrong person."

Guyu nodded, summoned a few maids, and carried the baskets to the gatehouse to coordinate the deliveries based on the officials’ list.

Daohua pointed at another table with baskets, looking at Deshou, "These are for the commanders at the Frontier Army Barracks. Additionally, I’ve bought several carts of dumplings from outside. Pull them over so that the soldiers of the Border Army can have dumplings to eat tomorrow."

Deshou responded with a smile, "I will get right on it."

Once the gifts for the guard officials and the Border Army had been dispatched, Daohua then summoned Lixia to personally deliver the Dragon Boat Festival gift to the Dong Family.

After all was set, Daohua went to the kitchen.

Tomorrow was the Dragon Boat Festival, and Xiao Yeyang would certainly return from the camp tonight. She prepared to use the recently purchased softshell turtle and cordyceps to make a soup to nourish him and her master.

...

Xia Residence.

Xia Jianren was enthusiastically engaging his staff in eating the dumplings and snacks sent by the Commander, clearly showing off, "I’ve heard that Mr. Wei did not send a festival gift to the people of the Xiao Residence."
