Chapter 173: Differential Treatment
Zhong Yuqi said: "To send happy money, it is natural to send it together." Call the other people into the house! ”
"Yes!"
Chunhua answered, and went outside to order.
On the morning of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the subordinates in the Ruiwang Mansion would go to the front yard to congratulate Xiao Yulin on the New Year, and then Xiao Yulin would order people to distribute the happy money. In the evening, King Rui's mansion will distribute New Year's money again. On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the people of Ruiwangfu went to the front yard again, kowtowed to Xiao Yulin to say goodbye, and sent a red envelope again.
After a little grooming, Zhong Yuqi got up, walked out with Qiu Shi, and sat down on the chair outside.
There were more than a dozen people standing in the outer room, and soon, the guards at the gate of the courtyard also hurried and stood at the end of the line.
Everyone sang: "Rui Xue Mei is a generation of Ji Xiao, and it is another year to welcome the new year." The paper-cut couplets are red and gorgeous, auspicious and happy to the side. The dust inside and outside the room is sweeping, and the new look is smiling. New Year's fortune and good luck come, all the best and auspicious stars. ”
Who doesn't like to hear good words?
When Zhong Yuqi heard such a congratulatory message, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Borrow your auspicious words!" Qiushi, give everyone happy money, so that everyone can go to the front yard to receive the prince's happy money. ”
"Yes!"
Qiu Shi answered, knocked out a box from the inner room, and distributed the money to everyone.
Joy money is the same amount of money, and New Year's money is distributed according to status. Moreover, the New Year's money is not issued together, so that others do not know how much reward money is given to others, so as not to be unbalanced.
Yu Huizhi said with a smile: "Now that we have another master, we can get two rewards for saving energy every year!" ”
Everyone laughed and agreed, "Yes! Yes! ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "I have been in the Ruiwang Mansion for less than half a year, and these days, it is all thanks to your careful service that I can sit back and relax in the Ruiwang Mansion." Usually, I went out of the house to buy some things, and today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, so I will give some to you, and you will also be happy. It's not worth much, but that's some of my heart. ”
Everyone hurriedly bowed down and said: "It is my duty to serve Sister Zhong, Sister Zhong is rewarded, and we are grateful to Dade, how dare we dislike it?" ”
Zhong Yuqi waved his hand, and Qiu Shi distributed some items to everyone. It's all packed in a bag, so they don't let it know on the spot, don't let it go.
A few years old, naturally worse than the older ones. Otherwise, those old rao will be unconvinced.
Yu Huizhi got two good pieces of jewelry, which came out of the palace. But others won't ask Yu Huizhi what reward she has received.
Everyone received the things and thanked Zhong Yuqi for the reward.
Zhong Yuqi waved them away and asked them to go to the front yard to receive the money.
The person on duty could not go, so someone else took it for him.
Chunhua and Qiushi did not pass either.
They are just servants, and they shouldn't share this reward, but Zhong Yuqi gave them double the happy money. In fact, they don't care about the bounty.
Xiao Yulin didn't sleep well last night, so he got up late this morning and asked everyone to wait in the front yard for a long time. However, it was not unheard of for Xiao Yulin to sleep lazily before, and everyone was not surprised.
Xiao Yulin's face was a little not good, his eyelids were a little puffy, his lower eye sockets were a little blue, and he was even sitting on a chair in the front yard hall and yawning constantly.
It's just an occasion, and everyone didn't pay too much attention to Xiao Yulin's attitude. The good things that should have been said, the happy money that should have been received, and the good money that should have been received have also been received, and they are all gone.
Just when Xiao Yulin was still yawning with half-lowered eyes, Ma Liu said to Xiao Yulin: "Lord Wang, the happy money has been distributed." ”
"Huh? Done sending? ”
Xiao Yulin was still a little ignorant, glanced at the empty hall, then stood up and walked outside.
After walking a few steps, Xiao Yulin stopped again and said suspiciously, "Huh? Are the people from the North Courtyard coming? ”
Ma Liu replied: "Back to the prince, most of the people have come." ”
Xiao Yulin said: "This king doesn't seem to see Chunhua and Qiushi? ”
Ma Liudao: "Back to the prince, maybe it's because they are all Sister Zhong's people, and Sister Zhong is a guest of Rui Wang's Mansion, so it's inconvenient to come here to receive the reward, right?" ”
Xiao Yulin flicked his sleeves with some displeasure and said, "Who's?" Since the people are in the Ruiwang Mansion, they are the people of the Ruiwang Mansion! Why do you have to treat them differently? ”
Ma Liu hurried: "Lord Wang, stop your anger!" Steward Zhao also followed this matter before, and the prince was busy with other things at that time, so he thought that this matter was just a matter, so he didn't report it to the prince. and Steward Zhao, first prepare Chunhua and Qiushi's happy money, and if they come, they will be sent to them. If they don't come, they don't have to send it. ”
Xiao Yulin said angrily: "Nonsense! They want to serve Sister Zhong, how can they come here? If they don't come, won't you have someone to bring them there? Everyone else in the North Courtyard has given out happy money, but Chunhua and Qiushi's happy money have not been paid, what does Sister Zhong think? ”
Ma Liu hurriedly responded: "Yes! Be! Then he ordered someone to send him to the North Courtyard! ”
"What does it mean to send wedding money alone? Is this the king who has missed their happy money, and now he is making up for them? ”
Ma Liu explained: "Lord Wang, if you ask the people from the North Courtyard to bring the happy money over now, wouldn't it be clearer, didn't we miss their happy money?" If it is a separate person to send the happy money over, it is the importance that Prince Ming attaches to Sister Zhong! ”
Xiao Yulin frowned and thought about it, as if this was the case, and said, "That's right! Why didn't this king think of it? ”
Ma Liu is not good, about Sister Zhong's affairs, you mess up every time you are in a hurry.
However, this is definitely not possible, Ma Liu only said: "The prince just didn't think of it for a while!" It's okay, it's just a thing, the prince doesn't have to bother. ”
Xiao Yulin said unhappily: "What's the matter?" If you let Chili have any opinion about this king, I see what you should do! ”
Ma Liu didn't dare to say much, so he had to say: "Yes!" Be! The wrong words, please forgive the prince! ”
Xiao Yulin asked again: "Is everything done in the kitchen?" ”
"Back to the prince, when I sent the money before, I asked, it is still steaming, and it will take a quarter of an hour."
"Why is it so slow?"
"There are many kinds of things ordered by the prince, and they have to be fresh, and the cook gets up early in the morning to start preparation, and they have to be steamed separately, which naturally takes some time."
"Won't you tell them to send the good chat first?"
