Time is busy, and it seems that the Spring Festival is coming in the blink of an eye.

The civil servants were also on vacation, and Ruan Bai began to have nothing to do after finishing his year-end business.

Xiao Zhong and the four assistants, who were busy with Ruan Bai on the side, were extremely shocked in their hearts. Even if they were already trying their best to suppress their feelings, they still brought a little bit out of their faces.

Ruan Bai watched a few people wipe the small study over and over again, and finally couldn't help but rush people: "It's all over the holiday, take the bonus and hurry up to buy something, otherwise the store will be closed in a few days, and you won't be able to buy it if you want to." ”

Xiao Zhong has been by Ruan Bai's side for the longest time, but he has the least courage, and after thinking about it, he didn't dare to ask more. On the contrary, it was another big girl who was clever and generous: "Second young master, slaves and maids should do things, how can they still ask for so much money?" ”

Although they haven't been together for a long time, Qiaowen knows that the second young master seems to have a bad temper, but in fact, they are easy to get along with. As long as he finishes his work in time, he doesn't even mind that these slaves borrow books from the study, and even give some pointers.

Of course, this is also because Qiaowen is the fastest and most clever, and several other people are living in dire straits, except for Xiaoping, a small guy who was originally from the account office, who is slightly better.

Every homeroom teacher/Ruan Bai likes honor students/Qiaowen.

"In the future, half of the year-end profit will be used as dividends to reward the efforts of employees." Hello, I'm hello, everyone, going hand in hand is the way to prosperity, "I know that you are in the palace, and there is no shortage of food, but you are still young, and it is not a bad thing to save a little more money around you." ”

Those who can read and write among slaves are not bad in IQ and EQ.

If the population of the palace is larger, these are the stewards of each house. Even if it seems to be a mediocre Xiao Zhong, in fact, it is because his strength is not in dealing with internal affairs, Xiao Zhong is calm and sophisticated in dealing with the outside world, and he knows the relationship and cats of each family well.

Slaves have achieved their rank, in fact, there are not many monthly cases. In addition, most of them are in charge of the procurement of the young masters and girls, and the more shrewd ones can cut off a lot of money. If they meet some people who want to go out, they can even have a lot of gray income.

However, the rules of the palace are strict, and there is no gray income. It's just that the host is generous, and the degree of food and clothing is higher than that of other houses.

They have been in the palace since they were children, and they felt that such a large sum of money was wrong for a while. But the reward of the second young master, they are not easy to push, let alone ......

The four assistants all went out with complicated expressions.

The rest of Xiao Zhong in the study stopped talking to Ruan Bai with all kinds of desires.

Ruan Bai said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, say it!" ”

Xiao Zhong looked cautiously outside, and after finding that there was no one, he lowered his voice and said, "Second Young Master, the villain dares to ask the Second Young Master to take back his life." ”

Ruan Bai didn't answer, and motioned with his eyes for him to continue.

Xiao Zhong gritted his teeth and continued: "I listened to the second young master and planned to make this year-end bonus a rule, and the villain thought it was inappropriate. The second young master has a lot of industries under his name, and all of them make money every day, even if it is only half of it, the amount is not small. This is the case all year round, and villains worry that some people's appetites will grow and look forward to something they shouldn't expect. ”

"Getting to the point." The human heart is unpredictable, who can guarantee a lifetime of loyalty? He can only ensure that he has enough power to make others dare to have two hearts.

Xiao Zhong said that those words were just an introduction, and the real reason was: "Now there are many people working for the second young master, many of them are not born in the family, and some of them have just signed a deed of sale." Although these people are also from the house, their family members are not. A Hou, a partner from Bailifang, couldn't live at home when he was eight years old and was sold into the palace. As far as the villain knows, Ah Hou's monthly monthly case and this bonus all changed hands to his family. ”

Ruan Bai frowned: "Ah Hou's family ...... Unbearable? ”

Ah Hou knows that people are honest and responsible, and there is no lack of cleverness, and they are not very old, but they are very calm. He plans to cultivate for a while, and when Bailifang opens a new store, he can be promoted to be a second shopkeeper or something.

Supplementing the family, this was originally nothing. Whose children don't buy something for the family when they make money? Even if Ah Hou was sold by his family, if the family really wants to live, who will sell his son and daughter? What can make Xiao Zhong so opposed, it must be that there is something wrong with that family.

"Ah Hou's father and mother are both from Gyeonggi North Stone Village, and Ah Hou's father originally did some small business, and his life was not bad. But later, Ah Hou's father was deceived and went bankrupt. Ah Hou's mother also went, leaving Ah Hou's father to take Ah Hou and Ah Hou's sister, and the father and son returned to the village. Ah Hou's father was introduced and married to his current stepmother......"

What follows is a story of having a stepmother and having a stepfather. Ah Hou's stepmother is very capable of giving birth, and she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in her first child, which is a happy event for anyone to change her family. But the poor couple mourns everything, and there are two more mouths in the family, and they can't survive at all by relying on the little bit of farming. So, Ah Hou was sold.

Then there is Ah Hou's competition, and he makes a lot of money as a servant, but people are holding Ah Hou's sister, and Ah Hou can't help it.

“…… Sister Ah Hou is fifteen years old, and she hasn't talked about her family yet. Last time, Ah Hou's father came to Ah Hou to ask for money, saying that Ah Hou would not give money, so he told Ah Hou's sister to the stupid son of the landlord's family in the next village. ”

In this year, will fifteen become a leftover woman? Ruan Bai was shocked in his heart: "There are a lot of such things? "Since Xiao Zhong is allowed to speak, there must be more than one example of Ah Hou.

Xiao Zhong nodded a little heavily: "Ah Hou is a man, it's better." The girls in the Butterfly Love Workshop were said to be ugly. On two occasions, their parents came to the store to make trouble, but they were stopped immediately. ”

"Trouble in the store? How did I not know? Ruan Bai just felt a little strange, but he wasn't very angry.

"It's my cousin who won't let me say. Second Young Master, you were busy some time ago. Xiao Zhong sold Ji Nandie without hesitation.

Ruan Bai nodded, but understood. The Butterfly Love Workshop in the capital was opened by him and Ji Nandie. He is only responsible for the product and part of the planning, while Ji Nandie is in charge of the operation. Someone came to the store to make trouble, and it was directly related to the staff, which was Ji Nandie's responsibility, and besides, the matter must have been resolved, and he couldn't sue him.

Even if Xiao Zhong didn't go into too much detail, he understood how much risk the girls had to take when they came out to work. Even if the Butterfly Love Workshop is faced with almost all female customers, it is estimated that there will be a lot of rumors.

In this regard, the capital is not as good as the border pass. Even Liniang and they are not so criticized in Xishan City.

"Got it, when the store is cleaned up, you let these people come to see me." Some people are willing to be cowards, and he has no rule of law. If he still has a little bit of thought, the problems they can't solve are just small things for him. The universal view of society is not the truth. If he doesn't challenge, can't he secretly rub and do something else?

Xiao Zhong soon left. Leaving Ruan Bai lazily in the study, he didn't bother to move at all, and fell asleep after a while.

When Chu Hao entered the door, he saw Ruan Bai's cheeks flushed from sleep.

There is no kang in the study, and it is paved with a ground dragon. Last time, he took advantage of the opportunity to build a glass house, and he took the opportunity to change everything he could. As soon as Chu Hao walked into the house, there was a slap of heat.

He smiled, knowing that his second dog would not treat himself badly wherever he went. He squatted on the edge of the couch and called softly: "Second brother, it's time to wake up." ”

Ruan Bai slept very deeply this night. After all, his body is not an adult, coupled with his poor background, there is still a little loss in his foundation, he was very busy a while ago, and he didn't feel anything when he was concentrated.

Chu Hao screamed several times but didn't wake anyone up, couldn't help frowning slightly, lowered his head and kissed him, very distressed.

"Hmm." Ruan Bai snorted softly in his sleep, stretched out his hand and softly pushed Chu Hao, but he didn't push it away, his brows furrowed even tighter.

"Second brother?"

"Well, don't make a fuss." Unable to push away the obstacles, Ruan Ergou twisted and continued to sleep with a wide heart, without any defense.

Chu Hao couldn't cry or laugh. He was full of thought that Ruan Bai would be excited and happy when he saw him. Unexpectedly, it was a second dog who slept without knowing anything.

"Sleep a little longer, and then get up for dinner later." He muttered softly and carried Ruan Bai carefully to the next bedroom. The weight on the hand doesn't seem to change, but the meat is noticeably less.

The rush in the winter is not a human work. In order to rush to the capital, Chu Hao was also a little tired, so he simply hugged Ruan Bai and slept together. When they woke up again, they were already in the early days, and Xiao Zhong came to wake them up.

"Wow!" Ruan Bai sat up on the bed, his eyes wide, "Why are you here!" "Hasn't he woken up yet? Why did Chu Hao come out as soon as he woke up?

Chu Hao's face, which originally had a little smile, was pulled down in an instant: "What do you mean, 'Why are you here'!" Brother traveled day and night, and specially came to the capital to accompany you for the New Year, you are like this! ”

Ruan Bai moved to Chu Hao's side, stretched out his hand to put it on Chu Hao's shoulder, fell down with a light push, buried his face in his neck socket and rubbed it, hehe smiled: "You are really here." ”

This stupid dog! Chu Hao was rubbed so that he didn't have a temper at all, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and couldn't stop laughing.

The host family is happy, and the current people are also happy. The preparations for the New Year were neatly cleaned up. And this year, I have a conservatory, and the vegetables are open to supply, and the dishes are also easy to match. The second young master said that the meal should be a combination of meat and vegetables, and the eggs and milk should be balanced, and they all remember it!

Chu Hao happened to come, and the New Year's red envelopes in the palace had not been given yet. This is a convention, in previous years, there were rules, what level to give how much. Ruan Bai had already prepared, and when the New Year came, the people would kowtow to them one by one to congratulate the New Year.

Chu Hao saw that Ruan Bai was impatient with this, and pinched his palm: "The rules are like this, bear with it." "It's the same in every household.

Ruan Bai nodded. While enjoying the exploitative life of the landlord class, he had to get used to something.

Fortunately, except for a few in charge, the rest of the people were ten or twenty people kowtowing together.

On the first day of the New Year, Ji Nandie took her husband to drag the baby and came to the palace.

At that time, Ruan Bai happened to be frying spring rolls.
