Chapter 176: Monthly Examples
At that moment, Fang Dongqiao smiled lightly: "Not long after Miss Ben arrived in the capital, some unpleasant things happened some time ago, she was busy copying the female ring, and she was confined to the Bamboo Lotus Courtyard, but she almost forgot that Miss Ben came to live in this courtyard with two guards. It's good that you're here now, Miss Ben just has something to tell you two. ”
Speaking of this, Fang Dongqiao glanced at Qingluo beside him.
"Qingluo, go to Miss Ben's box and get twenty taels of silver."
"Yes, miss."
Qing Luo responded and went to Fang Dongqiao's dresser to take out a wooden box with silver taels, took out ten taels of two silver ingots from it, and put them on the small coffee table next to Fang Dongqiao.
Fang Dongqiao looked at the two ingots of silver on the small coffee table, and said to Ah Niu and Rong An with a smile: "These days, I have been working tirelessly every day to protect Miss Ben's bamboo lotus courtyard. Due to Miss Ben's negligence, the list of the two was not reported to Madame, so naturally there is no way to get your monthly silver, but you have been wronged. ”
"The twenty taels of silver were given to each of the two guards as compensation for Miss Ben's negligence. Miss Ben will ask Qingluo to send the list of the two of you to the lady and the bookkeeper, so that next month you will be able to receive the monthly money on time like everyone else. ”
When Qingluo heard Fang Dongqiao say this, she divided the twenty taels of silver and gave ten taels of silver to Ah Niu's guards and Rong'an's guards.
"Miss, that's too much." Ah Niu's guard received ten taels of silver ingots and said bluntly.
"It's not much, compared to letting the two of you be wronged, this bit of silver is really nothing. Miss Ben knew that the two of you could lead the two of you to eat, but because of Miss Ben, the two of you were wronged, and Miss Ben had no way to compensate you in other aspects, and she could only do a little bit of Miss Ben's efforts in this regard. ”
As soon as Fang Dongqiao's words came out, the Rong'an guards had already pulled Ah Niu to thank Fang Dongqiao, and didn't let Ah Niu's guards speak, and after thanking Fang Dongqiao, they directly pulled Ah Niu's guards out of the courtyard.
"Uncle An, even if we rely on Yulu to eat, we used to only have ten taels of silver a month, and we have to be deducted from the top layers, but in fact, when it comes to us, it is only three or four taels of silver a month. What's more, now that we have become a nursing home, the leader of the nursing home is only five taels of silver a month, and this young lady gave us so much at once, and the lady must say that young lady. We can't let the young lady be scolded by the lady. I'll go and return the silver to the young lady, Ah Niu only needs three taels to be enough. ”
Ah Niu's guard said that he was about to rush back to the Bamboo Lotus Courtyard, but was kicked by Rong An.
"You rushed back so boldly, you want to ruin Miss's reputation. What's more, the young lady said so, if you and I don't accept it, with the kindness of that young lady, we will definitely be restless and guilty because of our affairs, do you want the young lady to be restless for our affairs? Since she wants the silver to make up for us, so that she can feel better on her own, why do you have to let the young lady not be able to get off the stage. When Rong An said this, Ah Niu was silent.
"That's a little too much."
Ah Niu still can't accept it with peace of mind, not to mention that that matter has nothing to do with Miss Fang at all, it was their own bad luck that they bumped into the hands of Prince Zhong's prince, can this be blamed Miss?
Seeing Ah Niu like this, Na Rongan sighed.
"Silly boy, it's rare to meet such a kind-hearted young lady, we will try to protect her in the future. It's just that this silver tael can't be returned, firstly, it will lose the face of the young lady, and secondly, your mother is in a hurry to grab the medicine with the silver taels, and she can't delay it, how can you be too much silver. Ah Niu, let's go, go back and catch medicine for your mother, we came this time, isn't it just to beg Miss to be merciful and send some silver taels to your mother to catch medicine, at this time Miss took the initiative to mention the matter of wages, which just solved your urgent need, you better stop being so tough, after all, your mother's life is important. ”
Ah Niu heard Rong An say this, but he was silent, and let Rong An pull him away, and Fang Dongqiao heard the conversation between the two outside the courtyard clearly in the house.
"Qingluo, catch up with Ming'er, you go and inquire, that guard named Ah Niu, what is his mother's illness?" Fang Dongqiao lightly commanded Qingluo.
Qingluo was slightly stunned, how did this young lady know that Ah Niu's guard's mother was sick?
However, the master said this, and naturally there was a reason for the master, and Qingluo should go down now.
"Yes, miss, Qingluo will ask Uncle An tomorrow."
"Hmm." Fang Dongqiao responded lightly, and Kapok came in with a curtain outside the door.
"Miss Hui, the flower pots you want, the slave and maid have already sent them over, there are a total of fifty flower pots, Miss, but is it enough?"
"It should be enough for the time being, and when the flowers are cultivated, we have to prevent them from coming and snatching them at that time, so we should prepare more appropriate points."
Fang Dongqiao took the green radish and kapok to the outside of the yard, and fifty large and small flower pots were lined up all over the place.
Looking at the color of those porcelain pots, elegant and generous, Fang Dongqiao had a smile in his eyes and nodded with satisfaction.
"The color of this pot of kapok is well chosen, and Miss Ben is very satisfied. So, how much money is left over from buying pots? ”
"If you go back to Miss, there are still five hundred dollars." Kapok back.
"Well, the craftsman who is looking for this thing about selecting flower pots, and the two things will be rewarded together, and the remaining five hundred yuan will be rewarded to you." Fang Dongqiao said with a smile.
"Miss Xie's reward." In the Bamboo Lotus Temple, the young lady said that the reward had to be taken.
"As for the green radish, hibiscus, and Mulian, when everyone is ready, Miss Ben will also have a reward."
Rewards and punishments are clearly the most basic rules set by a master, Fang Dongqiao smiled, give benefits while giving grace, don't worry about your subordinates being disloyal to you.
At dusk, Mu Hibiscus returned from the Yun Clan, and after Fang Dongqiao had dinner, he immediately called Mu Hibiscus, Qing Luo, and Mu Lian to him, and asked Mama Yu to reward each of them with a reward of 500 big coins for each of them, as a reward for their performance over the past few days.
As for Mama Yu, after all the maids around her withdrew, Fang Dongqiao gave Mama Yu a three-tael red gold bracelet.
"Mama, these days, the bamboo lotus courtyard up and down are fortunate to help Miss Ben with everything, this bracelet will change some tea money for Mama to drink, hard Mama this run in and out, busy in and out."
Mama Yu saw that this bracelet was full of three or two, and felt that it was too valuable, so she excused herself and said: "Miss, this object is too valuable, the slave maid should do things, the young lady is satisfied with the slave maid, the slave and maid are already very satisfied, and I dare not expect Miss to reward her." ”
"Mama, take it, all the maids in this bamboo lotus courtyard, they are good on errands, Miss Ben has been rewarded, could it be that Mama dislikes Miss Ben's reward is too little?" Fang Dongqiao looked at Mama Yu with a smile.
When Mama Yu heard Fang Dongqiao say this, she didn't dare to shirk anymore.
"Where does the slave dare to dislike the young lady's reward, the slave and maid just accept it."
Mama Yu took Fang Dongqiao's red gold bracelet and put it on her wrist.
When Fang Dongqiao saw it, Fang smiled sweetly.
"That's good. It's not early now, Miss Ben has nothing to do here, and Mama can go to rest early, but she will have to get up early tomorrow to be busy. ”
"Yes, the slave will step aside, Miss should rest well."
Mama Yu respectfully withdrew from the room, and Fang Dongqiao immediately called Qingluo and Hibiscus in.
"Qingluo, hibiscus, Miss Ben is very tired today, it is estimated that she will sleep very deeply all night, you don't let anyone come in to disturb Miss Ben, Miss Ben will call you when she gets up early." Fang Dongqiao commanded carefully.
That Qingluo, when Mu Ge heard it, although he was a little confused, he still nodded and went out in obedience to Fang Dongqiao's wishes.
Fang Dongqiao saw that there was a green radish outside, and the hibiscus was guarded by two people, and it was estimated that no one would come in to disturb her, but for the sake of safety, she still went to the bed and put down both sides of the bright blue brocade tent, which was tightly stuffed, so that people could not really see the scene in the tent.
In this way, Fang Dong Qiao dared to flash into the space of the medicine field.
At this time, in the space of the medicine field, the fruits and vegetables, grains and medicinal materials planted yesterday can be harvested, Fang Dongqiao harvested them once as usual, and went to the top of the mountain to look at the fruit trees, and found that all kinds of fruits on the branches, including apples, longan, lychees, pears, cherries, strawberries, loquats, etc., were already ready to be harvested, so he moved his mind and swept all these fruits to the fruit warehouse and placed them properly.
The watermelons on the sand, one by one, were emerald green and large, and their fingers were gently tapping on them, making a joyful knocking sound.
Fang Dongqiao knocked a watermelon, cut a piece, bit it in his mouth, and ate it with crooked eyebrows.
This watermelon is really delicious, full of moisture, not to mention sweet, it is refreshing to eat it, but it feels cooler than eating ice cream in the previous life.
It seems that when the summer is hot, the watermelon in this space is enough to quench the thirst of the family, and then make some cold powder paste out, it will be more beautiful, but it is much better than those cold ice cream smoothies and the like, those cold things eat too much is always hurtful to the stomach, where can it compare to the natural summer relief products produced in this space.
After Fang Dongqiao solved a piece of watermelon, he continued to eat the second piece, and waited until he ate half a watermelon before he felt that his stomach couldn't hold it anymore and let go of his hand.
"Such delicious and fresh watermelons, after the one-month lockdown, I have to take a few large watermelons out for the family to taste."
Fang Dongqiao harvested a bunch of big watermelons on the ground, looked at the big watermelons lined up on the floor of the warehouse, and muttered with a smile.
After harvesting the watermelon field, Fang Dongqiao saw the flowers all over the ground in front of the rows of houses, and his smile became more and more pleased.
Outside, you can see bergamot, lilacs, junzi orchids, spring cuckoos, arrow lotuses, orchids, melon leaf chrysanthemums, and pampas flowers in this season.
