Chapter 214: The Boiling Chinese New Year's Eve

In a blink of an eye, three days have passed, and today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the most lively place in the entire capital is not Jiang Xinyi's Jiang Mansion. However, she is definitely the most festive place here.

From the gate to the inside, there were red lanterns hanging all the way, and the couplets of the entire Jiang Mansion were written by Jiang Xinyi herself. She was busy writing and writing, Xiao Ai and Ping'er and they posted and pasted, and the masters of other people's families might be interested in writing a few pictures and pasting them on the main gate, but who is like Jiang Xinyi, not only wrote it personally, but also had a share in the door of the house.

Last night, the tailor shop delivered a cart of new clothes and boots. There are also strips of cloth nailed with thread, and there are names on the strips, and there are large and small parts of the house.

This is because, when I first customized clothes for them, I didn't measure their figure, so that several special ones such as too short, too tall or too fat would not fit well.

This time, Jiang Xinyi learned to be smart, and invited the tailor into the mansion to measure each of them. The tailor worked overnight to catch up.

"Sister Xiaoping, what do you say our son-in-law wants so many purses?" Xiaohuan asked Xiaoping, who counted the purse in the package. Jiang Xinyi gave them the task to be sent to her before the thirty meals. So, a few girls and Xiaohuan's mother, Yanzi's "milk", "milk", and Xiaohui, were busy with their own work and hurriedly sewed.

Fortunately, when it was time to hand it in, there were more than a hundred, more than a dozen more than Jiang Xinyi said, so Xiaoping relieved herself to tie up the baggage skin and hurriedly sent it to Jiang Xinyi.

After lunch, the workers of the entire Jiang Mansion gathered outside the main hall, and all of them consciously stood in a square line, looking at the closed door in front of them with anxiety.

They all know that no matter what they do in that mansion, the day of the New Year's end is very important, because the owner will make adjustments to the subordinates in the mansion.

The old ones, those who can't do it, are directly rewarded with copper coins and sent out of the house. The little girl becomes beautiful and arranges it by her side. The mistake was either sent to the laundry room or taken out for resale.

Now, all of them love it. It's good to eat and live here, and I really don't feel like I'm a slave. So they all secretly made up their minds to do a good job, and they couldn't be kicked out, and it didn't matter if they didn't have a salary.

An Pengfei and the four of them also stood aside, not knowing what Jiang Xinyi wanted to do.

At this time, there was a squeak, the door of the hall opened, and Jiang Xinyi sat on a Taishi chair, looking at the people outside very seriously.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have been in this house for a few days, and this is thirty. I have gathered you here to say to you that you have worked hard. I remember before you came in, you said that the probationary period was one month. Now, it's not even a month, and in order to have a fresh start in the new year, I decided to shorten the trial period. During this time, I am very satisfied with everyone and want to keep you here to help me take care of it. But I don't know your opinion, if he finds a suitable place outside, then please tell me today, otherwise, after tonight, you will sign a contract with me for half a year, and you will not be allowed to leave within half a year. Well, if you think about it, just raise your hand. Jiang Xinyi asked confidently.

After a while, no one raised their hands, "Childe, we have all discussed, just do it here for you, you don't have to say anything about the contract or not, as long as you don't drive us away, no one will leave." Haizi stepped forward and said to Jiang Xinyi.

"If you leave me to do this, you won't get paid, so what do you plan to use to marry a wife in the future?" Jiang Xinyi pursed her lips and asked.

"For poor people like us, it is already difficult to marry a wife, so it is better to stay here happily." Xiao Ai said in the back.

"Okay, let me ask again, who wants to leave the house?" Jiang Xinyi asked again.

"We're willing to stay and serve Childe." They spoke in unison, in a loud voice.

"Well, that's good, then I'll call the name and come over for a moment." Jiang Xinyi picked up a post on her lap and said to them.

In fact, she is very touched at this moment, these kind people can feel their love for them.

"Haizi." Jiang Xinyi opened the post and read out the first name, then reached out and lifted the red cloth beside her, revealing a touch of red.

"I don't have any wages for you, but for the New Year, I have to reward you." Jiang Xinyi said, picked up a purse from the basket + passion and handed it to Haizi.

Haizi took it hesitantly, and after saying thank you, he turned around and retreated.

The second name was Xiao Ai, and he also walked over.

"Haizi, what did Childe reward?" Haizi stood back in the crowd, and someone asked in a whisper of curiosity.

"I don't know, it's heavy anyway." Haizi replied honestly.

"Let's take a sneak peek, maybe it's a copper plate." The other whispered.

Haizi actually wanted to know very much, seeing that Jiang Xinyi was talking to Xiao Ai, she turned around and secretly untied the silk thread on the purse, and a few curious heads took a look, hehe, there is really a copper coin, but what is the white "color" thing under the copper coin? Haizi buckled it out curiously.

Mom, I'm not mistaken, it's actually a big ingot of silver, a full ten taels. Haizi and the people around him were frightened, "Wait a minute, you also have it." Haizi Mumu comforted them.

"No, you are the housekeeper, that's why you have this silver ingot, and we have this purse of copper coins." One said enviously.

Haizi didn't dare to say more, he just wanted to hold the silver ingot in his hand like a dream, as if he was afraid that it would run away. He thought about it, if this silver ingot was really only his own, then he would exchange it for copper coins and divide it equally with everyone.

"Xiao Ai, hurry up and see how many copper plates Gongzi rewards you." They hurriedly asked Xiao Ai, who had just returned to the team.

"I don't know." Xiao Ai said, and opened the purse in his hand.

"God, Xiao Ai also has silver ingots." Those people were almost screaming and shouting, looking at what Xiaohuai had in his hands. Now it's fried, and the people in the yard can't be calm anymore, isn't this called not paying wages? Who's house gives ten taels of wages for the previous year, let alone rewards. Unless it's a nurse who has been invited, or a gentleman who teaches, or something.

Next, when I heard Jiang Xinyi call her name again, some people even straightened up nervously when they walked, and after getting the same purse as everyone else, no one suspected that their own would be less than others'.

Even Liu Xiaohu's brothers were called by name, and they walked in together to receive the reward, and when they came out, they not only had a purse in their hands, but also a silver chain around their necks.

"Dad, the son said that this is to be saved up for us to marry our mothers." Xiaohu said to his father very seriously and happily. He also handed over the purse in his hand to his father.

He doesn't need to look at it, he also knows that his two sons' purses contain as many things as himself! The weight was counted, and as soon as he weighed it, he counted it.

Liu Tent wanted to lead Haizi to thank Jiang Xinyi, but seeing that she was still busy handing out the reward, he couldn't help it.

The ladies have the same purse, but they have a few more things than the men.

That is, Jiang Xinyi customized a set of silver jewelry for each of them, with a pair of silver bracelets, a pair of silver earrings inlaid with pearls, and a silver bead flower. It's just that Xiao Huanniang and Xiao Ai's "milk" and "milk" styles are more old-fashioned.

Xiao Ai ran to his "milk" and "milk", and handed over the purse to "milk" and "milk" with Yanzi. Hehe, looking at the three heavy purses, the three of their ancestors and grandchildren were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

Xiaohu's father also looked at Xiaohui, and Xiaohui quickly turned her head away, embarrassed to look at him.

The last one to get the purse was Shangguan Hong, he didn't care how many there were, what made him proud was that An Pengfei, Wei Yi, Luo Ke and the three of them didn't get the purse.

"Okay, from now until the seventh day of the new year, you can move freely, if you want to go shopping, watch shadow puppetry, you can go, but you must return safely before closing, and you are not allowed to cause trouble outside. I've already bought a lot of vegetables and meat, so if you want to eat something, go and say hello to the chef in the kitchen. Or you can do it yourself, and the eighth day of the new year officially started. Jiang Xinyi waved them away after announcing this.

Jiang Xinyi saw that there was also a purse in the basket beside her, and a silver chain wrapped in a handkerchief, which was prepared for Xiaohuai, but early last morning, Wen Yuxin personally picked him up.

Seeing that Xiaohuai didn't want to leave, Jiang Xinyi was very distressed, but she couldn't stop it, after all, it was also his family!

"Yi Xin, they all have it, even the old Shangguan you have given it, why don't I have a share of my brother?" After those people dispersed, An Pengfei walked over with a smile and asked.

"yes, why don't we have any?" Wei Yi also came to ask.

"Brother Shangguan is a security guard in the house, of course you have to have his share, are you, it's my second brother, you should give me New Year's money, why do you want me to give it to you? And the two of you, who are guests here, and you see, your names are not on the roster in my house at all. So, you three, get rid of it. Jiang Xinyi stood up and said very reasonably.

"That's not good, when our brothers go out to do some errands, and when we come back, you should quickly fill in our names." Wei Yi protested dissatisfiedly, and then regardless of what Jiang Xin Yizha said, he and Luo Ke walked out.

"Xiao Jiang, you are really interesting. I'm on patrol, you two talk. Shangguan Hong said, squeezed his eyes with An Pengfei proudly, and left.

"Yi Xin, you really have good intentions for them." An Pengfei stopped talking nonsense and said with emotion.

"Alas, they are all poor people, and I want them to live happily and have hope for the future." Jiang Xinyi looked at the empty courtyard and said.

"Yi Xin, you are really thoughtful." An Pengfei said with a smile.

"Second brother, it's just the two of us now, let's go, brother, I'll fry a few dishes, let's have a few sips." Jiang Xinyi looked at An Pengfei and said.

She really wanted to take this opportunity to tell him everything about herself, so that starting tomorrow, everything would be a new beginning. ”
