331 To each his own reward
Chu Liangrao smiled slightly and said, "I have it." As he spoke, he handed the purse embroidered with the peace of the year to Zhou's mother.
Zhou's mother is a cheerful person, but she didn't shirk, she took the purse with both hands, and she thanked her and stuffed it into her arms.
Chu Liangrao waved her hand, signaling that she could go down.
And Chu Liangrao asked Ding Xiang to call Ding Lan, Zhen'er and Zhu'er together, looking at the four maids in front of her, Chu Liangrao said: "There is no program for the Chinese New Year this year, I made a pair of earrings for one of you, see if you like it or not." ”
The four maids were all stunned, and they took a lot of rewards on weekdays, although they were not very happy to accept it at this time, they also knew that Chu Liangrao's least favorite thing was that people refused, so they took it over with a hard face.
Lilac is a pair of lilac 'flower' earrings, the 'color' is bright and 'bright', the carving is 'fine' and beautiful, and it is not an ordinary thing to look at.
And Ding Lan's is two orchid 'flowers', accompanied by a silver pendant, which looks very in line with her quiet and elegant 'sex' personality.
Zhen'er is two strings of tourmaline, and the colorful 'color' is beautiful.
The pearls are two round beads, although they are not big, but they are excellent in 'color' and have no flaws.
These four gifts, any one of them is not something that ordinary people can appreciate, but Chu Liangrao doesn't care.
Glancing at each other, Lilac took the lead in thanking him, and then said, "County Lord, this gift is too valuable." ”
"It's not precious, you have also done a lot of things by my side this year, and I know them all." Chu Liangrao said, "Now that my lord is not at home, I can't say many things alone, but I was lazy and gave your dowry and red envelopes together." ”
These words made Lilac Hongxia's face flush, she lowered her face slightly, and said embarrassedly: "County Lord, Lilac doesn't marry, Lilac still has to serve you." ”
Chu Liangrao shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that if I want to keep you, some people won't." ”
"Yes, Sister Lilac." Jane quipped.
Lilac was a little anxious, biting her lip and shouting, "Zhen'er......"
"Okay, let's all go down, Lilac, let Mother Du come in."
"Yes." Lilac thought about it, led a few maids to retreat, and called her mother into the 'door'.
Seeing that the four maids were holding the reward purses in their hands, Mother Du guessed what Chu Liangrao was going to do, in fact, she really didn't care about money. After all, she eats from the house and uses the money from the house, and she still has monthly money to get every month, so she doesn't want to accept this reward.
"Happy New Year, Mom." Chu Liangrao took out the bracelet that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to Mother Du with a smile.
Mother Du stood in place and said in embarrassment: "County Lord, aren't you making it difficult for your mother?" ”
"Why, Mom, don't think about it, it's not a valuable thing." Chu Liangrao said, "Mom should be good-looking." ”
Mother Du still refused to take it, and said: "County Lord, if you give it to us, then the rest of the people in this mansion are afraid that they will not be able to look at it, and if everyone takes care of it, it is not a small expense." ”
"Mom, don't worry, they have it too." Chu Liangrao said, "I know it in my heart." ”
As soon as she heard that Chu Liangrao had prepared other people's, Mother Du was even more stunned and asked: "County Lord, even if this store makes money, it shouldn't be used like this, they all say that there is food in stock, and they don't panic, but ......" Speaking of this, she couldn't continue, even if she served by Chu Liangrao's side for a long time, she still knew the difference between this master and servant.
But the old lady said that she didn't do things properly, and she didn't know how to stop the county lord from doing things.
Chu Liangrao also knew her concerns, and said: "Mom, you are the people next to me, so I will specially prepare a purse, and the rest of the people are rewards, after all, the New Year is over, and people have to have something to look forward to." ”
Knowing that she was just giving money, Du's mother's heart was half relieved, but she still couldn't help asking: "County Lord, how much should everyone be rewarded, have you thought about it?" ”
"I've thought about it." Chu Liangrao said, handed the bracelet forward again, and said, "If my mother doesn't like it, then it's better to cheapen others, and it's a big deal to buy it again." ”
"Where will my mother not like it, what the county lord gives, my mother is happy." Du's mother said and took the bracelet.
Chu Liangrao said: "Mom put it on for me to see if it fits?" ”
Du's mother put the bracelet on her wrist, and this set is really suitable. But Du's mother was uncomfortable and said: "Mom is used to doing work on weekdays, but wearing it doesn't look like doing things." ”
"How so? I don't have a good eye. Chu Liangrao beckoned, let Du's mother walk in for a few minutes, raised her hand to look, she said, "Ben is thinking about the earrings that a few maids do a lot of hands on weekdays, so I made earrings for them. ”
This is said easily, but Du's mother is not easy, she said: "County Lord, Lilac and a few maids are indeed diligent in their hands and feet, but they are going to leave the house, what is the matter or Mother to do it, if they are not there one day, then the county lord will not have anyone to serve?" ”
When Chu Liangrao heard this, she had no choice but to stop insisting and said, "That's what my mother said." ”
This gift was given, and Chu Liangrao didn't give much instructions, but Ding Lan came looking for it again, saying that she had something to give her.
Look at Ding Lan doing needlework again, Chu Liangrao was very interested, took it and looked at it, it was very useful.
Seeing that Chu Liangrao likes it, Ding Lan is very happy in her heart.
On this day, the people of Huo Mansion were very happy, but the princess's mansion was dead silent.
Seeing that it was dark, there was no light in the room, only the jewel exuded a ghostly light, but it added a bit of coldness. And Princess Yin Hua, who was wearing jewelry, seemed to be blending into the darkness, not saying a word, not moving, which made people worried.
"Mama, did you still ask the county lord of Ning'an to persuade you?"
"You forgot what the princess ordered, you can't go to the county lord for this matter, and don't say that it's late, and the county lord of Ning'an is unable to move......" The voice was lowered a little, and the grandmother said, "Go to the kitchen and take a look, if the dish is cold, let them wait before cooking." ”
"Yes." The palace 'girl' bent her knees and retreated.
Mama sighed, pushed open the 'door' and walked into the house, and finally lit a lamp.
The drunken yellow light brought a bit of warmth, shining on Yin Hua's face in brocade clothes, but it made her close her eyes.
After sitting in the dark for a long time, such a light actually made her feel a little dazzling, and her dry eyes were a little more watery.
Her hair was full of pearls, and she was already panicked, and after being out of her mind for so long, she only felt that her neck was sore as if it was not her own. Raising his eyes to look at the worried grandmother, Yin Hua lightly ordered: "Let people come in and dress the palace widely." "Yes, princess." Mama answered, and hurriedly ordered the palace 'girl' who was in charge of changing clothes in Ping Suri to come into the house to serve the 'serving'.
