Song Yaoyao's eyes lit up, this thing was simply tailor-made for Xu Lianhua, she heard Dongmei say that since Xu Lianhua was separated, he devoted himself to business, and he would not rest until three poles of the moon every day, and his energy was inevitably insufficient.

Song Yaoyao asked Shopkeeper Hao to take the things over and show her.

Shopkeeper Hao beckoned, and the young man went to the back to get something.

This is a set of white frosted glass snuff bottles, the spout of the pot is carved into a bud shape with dark red agate, the bottle is a pair of pugs playing around, the dog on the left snuff box is fluttering butterflies, and the one on the right is licking the hair, which is indeed exquisite and generous.

Song Yaoyao was very satisfied and asked, "Shopkeeper Hao, how much does this snuff bottle cost?" ”

"Since Shopkeeper Song is sincere, and I don't make your money, I will buy 50 taels of this snuff bottle, so I will give you a purchase price of 50 taels."

Song Yaoyao hurriedly said: "How embarrassing this is, let's just as much as we should have." ”

The shopkeeper Hao came to a temper and said: "It's only 50 taels, and I won't sell it to you any more." ”

Song Yaoyao was helpless, gave Feng Liang a look, and paid the money.

After a few more greetings with the shopkeeper Hao, Song Yaoyao took his leave.

The two went to the butcher's house again, and Song Yaoyao directly picked the fattest pig and asked the butcher to break it down into ten-pound pieces of meat, and then wrapped it up and brought it back.

The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, the female workers packed the batch of fat powder, and only waited for Xu Lianhua to come in the afternoon to carry the goods.

Song Yaoyao asked them to gather in the courtyard and simply held a year-end summary meeting, after the meeting, Song Yaoyao pointed to the box next to him and said: "Let's make a game together today, this box contains your name, I will draw one of them, and the lucky one will get a bonus of 500 Wen." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people below stared at Song Yaoyao's hand excitedly, and after she took out a note from the box, everyone held their breath and looked at her excitedly, expecting her to read out the name on the paper.

Song Yaoyao deliberately paused for a while before pronouncing the name word by word: "Hu, Su." ”

Hu Su couldn't believe it, shouted excitedly, and hugged Ah Qing beside him.

Song Yaoyao beckoned to him, handed him the note, and said, "I'll go to Su Shan to get the money later." ”

The people who didn't win the lottery all looked at Su Shan with envy, Song Yaoyao coughed twice, attracted everyone's attention, and then named the names of the two people.

Everyone didn't know what she meant for a while, and the people who were named looked at her with anxiety.

"These two people are the annual dedicated workers selected by me and the two team leaders after these few months of observation, in order to show that in addition to the benefits that everyone has, each of these two people will have an additional silver dedication award."

The two people who were originally uneasy were stunned for a while by this sudden surprise, and slowly came to their senses in the joyful voices of the people around them.

Song Yaoyao said: "I see every bit of your hard work in my heart, and every bit of your hard work will be rewarded accordingly." ”

In the cheers of everyone, Song Yaoyao said: "Now everyone can go to receive benefits, twenty catties of white flour, ten catties of oil, ten catties of pork, twenty feet of cotton cloth, ten feet of coarse cloth, and a bonus of 200 Wen per person." ”

The cheers were even louder, and they rushed to the warehouse to collect their things.

Song Yaoyao sent the female worker and his men away, and waited for Xu Lianhua's people to come over.

Sure enough, a while after lunch, the money steward came over with someone.

After Song Yaoyao handed over the goods, he handed over the gift he had prepared to the money manager, and said, "This snuffbox is for your young master, and the red cloth is for Sister Xiuwen, these cloths are for you, you have been here so many times, and you have worked hard." ”

Steward Qian was flattered and thanked: "I have long heard that Shopkeeper Song treats people very well, and now it seems that it really deserves its reputation." ”

Song Yaoyao hurriedly said: "They are not subordinates, but my employees." ”

Naturally, Steward Qian would not fight with her, so he took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Song Yaoyao, and said, "This is a letter from the young master to you." ”

Song Yaoyao probably knew what was written inside, put away the letter, and sent the group away.

When they returned to the house, they summoned Zhu Jingxing over, and the two rushed into the office, opened the envelope, and began to read the letter.

Xu Lianhua's letter said that he had an enlightenment teacher, who happened to be from Song'an County, and was about to return to his hometown to settle down, and the old man was left with only one granddaughter to rely on him, and the girl was seventeen years old, and she had reached the age of saying that she was married, but the old man couldn't bear to marry his only relative far away, so he wanted to find a grandson-in-law who knew the roots and knew the bottom by his side.

Zhu Jingxing hesitated: "The shopkeeper, he is a man, can he take a fancy to me?" ”

Song Yaoyao looked at him and said: "Why don't you look at it, didn't the letter say it, because of the aftermath of the abolition of the prince's case, although Mr. Hu has been on the list for ten years, he can't enter the court as an official, and he has long been disheartened by officialdom. ”

Zhu Jingxing is still a little unconfident, but as mentioned in the letter, Miss Hu is knowledgeable and courteous, and she is weak and weak, which really tugs at his heartstrings.

Song Yaoyao cheered him up on the side and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely create an opportunity for you when the time comes, so that you can get close to the water and get the moon first." ”

Zhu Jingxing showed a smirk and was scolded by Song Yaoyao in disgust.

But fortunately, this matter has an eyebrow, and a stone in the hearts of the two has fallen to the ground, and they can celebrate the New Year happily.

In the afternoon, Song Rong came, Dongmei was overjoyed, the two of them hadn't seen each other for more than two months since they said goodbye last time.

Song Rong went to say hello to Song's mother and Song's father first, and then went back to the house to see his wife and children.

Song's mother was happy, and added two more dishes in the evening, and the family happily had a reunion dinner.

"Brother, you're not going back this time, are you?"

Song Rong nodded and said: "The house at home has been built, but the furniture has not been done, the house is empty, and when the New Year is over, the furniture will be placed, and you will be able to live in it, and then I will take you all back." ”

Dongmei's happy eyes smiled into a slit, although Song Yaoyao was easy-going, and there was nothing bad about living here, but in the end, it was not her own home, and now that she could go home, how could she not be happy.

Song Yaoyao was also happy for them, but there was something she had to mention to Song Rong.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Xu Gongzi wrote today that his teacher Mr. Hu is going back to his hometown to settle down, Mr. Hu is a second-class jinshi in the 16th year of the Yuan Dynasty, I want to ask him to be Mr. Enlightenment for Mao Mao and Yunsheng, what do you think?"

Song Rong and Dongmei were stunned for a moment, and glanced at each other, Yunsheng will be five years old after the New Year, and it is time to enlighten, but if you want to go to school with this Hu Jinshi, I am afraid that you will have to stay in the city, and you will not be able to follow them every day.

But if you take Yunsheng back, won't you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, famous teachers produce high apprentices, whose parents don't want their sons to become Chan?

Song Yaoyao saw that they were embarrassed, so he said: "This is also a matter after the holiday, my brother and sister-in-law think about it, and it will be the same to reply to me after the festival." ”

Song Rong and Dongmei nodded, promising that Song Yaoyao would think about it.
