In the whole month of Layue, the maids and servants in the inner courtyard were tossed enough, because of the matter of Yuanchun Province, the masters of the house took turns to show their ability, and commanded the people below to go east and west for a while.

Originally, Yunzhu planned to have a vacation to go home around the New Year, but in the end, he gave up in Qifei's complaining eyes.

Without it, the 'second generation' is really immobile, and a little white flower like Yunzhu without a background has become the primary target of the housekeepers' ladies to order strong men.

"Good sister, I'm done after the New Year, and my sister will give you a five-day vacation!" Qi Hail couldn't, after thinking about it, he had to put a big cake on Yun Zhu's face, and rewarded several big bucks in a row, and under the double offensive of money and big cakes, Yun Zhu was defeated.

I want Yunzhu to say that everything that can be busy in the month has long been done, and now the rest of the work is on the masters. And the more urgent thing than the provincial relatives of Yuanchun is to open the ancestral hall to respect the ancestors.

The big deal is in Xifu again.

But, since he can't take a holiday, Yunzhu is happy to follow the run before and after to get some rewards, and he is idle anyway.

On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, Yunzhu put on a brand-new cotton gown and waited in the old lady's courtyard.

Today, the masters of the two provinces will gather together to greet Jia's mother. Because she was afraid that there would be not enough manpower, a little girl like Yunzhu was arranged to listen to the shouts on the periphery, waiting to run some errands.

After the mandarin duck nodded his head, he changed into a gentle face and greeted: "The old lady went to the palace early in the morning to congratulate, you also come in and sit, eat some fruit and hot tea, warm your body, and be busy for a while." ”

The crowd was noisy, Yun Zhu followed into the house and drank a hot ginseng tea, grabbed a handful of snacks made of sorghum rice, and regardless of the others, he bit his ears in the west hall with the pearl nest.

Pearl touched the color on Yunzhu's sleeve, and said casually: "You look at the old lady's new gift, so you made clothes so quickly?" ”

"I saw that although it was not a fashionable color this year, this cluster of flowers looked festive, so I cut my own clothes, just in time for the New Year, and used it for five nights!" Yun Zhu smiled and nodded, and stretched out a palm to gesture towards Pearl.

The masters all love to be pleasing to the eye, Yun Zhu has worn this dress, and when he walks, some people recognize it as the New Year's reward in the old lady's room, but if he is not the master of the search, in the face of the old lady, he will more or less give Yun Zhu a decent reward.

was immersed in the joy of counting money, when he heard Pearl say gently: "I know that you are tired in the Baoyu room, but there is no shortage of children in the old lady's room now, so don't be too wronged yourself." I still have a few feet of satin from the old lady, and I don't wear the magenta well, but you are skillful, and I will bring it with you in a while. ”

She is older than Yunzhu, and she looks at Qingwen's face, and she also takes care of Yunzhu, and now she looks at Yunzhu who is smiling like a little sister in the family, patting her head lovingly.

Yun Zhu listened, knowing that it was so easy to serve by the old lady's side. Even if the old lady is not mean, the eyes of the master of the house are staring at Jia's mother's courtyard, such a high-profile place is not as convenient as Jiang Yunxuan.

So he shook his head softly and said, "There is no grievance." I made a few clothes, and now I have my sister's satin, so that my sister can repay the favor and make a few little clothes for my sister. ”

"Old lady love, where do you want you to make me clothes?" Pearl diverted the topic and smiled evilly at Yunzhu: "Baoyu loves to be pretty, you are making a few more bright ones, and ask him to pour more reward money for you, a wealth fan." ”

"Don't worry about it, I'll look for you for a size when it's empty in two days, and I'm not making ordinary clothes." As he spoke, Yunzhu leaned into Pearl's ear, chattered for a while, and gestured twice, until Pearl's cheeks were red, and she stammered even when she spoke.

"It's... These are also Qingwen teaching... Teach you? ”

"Don't worry about it, I've figured it out myself." Yunzhu leaned in on the pearl with a grin, blinked his eyes, and walked quickly outside.

She walked as fast as she could, for fear that Pearl would catch her and ask her where she had come from, but in an instant her back disappeared in front of Pearl's eyes.

It's just that her feet don't stop, Yunzhu is a little dazed, and a little strange, and there is no one chasing behind her, what is she doing running so fast?

Pearls are not tigers.

But she didn't have much time to think about it, because someone was already summoning that Uncle Zhen from Xifu was here.

Not long after, the old lady who entered the palace to congratulate came with the support of Mrs. Wang, followed by a mandarin duck leading more than a dozen maids, carrying boxes of New Year's money.

The purse woven with gold wire is beaten into a variety of auspicious patterns, and the gold and silver bills are beaten into various shapes, among which there are seventeen or eighteen sets of gold and silver bills of the zodiac alone, and the eyes of the clouds are straight, and the hands and feet almost do not obey the call to walk.

Gold and silver are good.

It's all very cute.

And the zodiac signs or something...... What a monument!

Then he sighed again, if only Jia Baoyu had been so generous to them.

The palace was sealed on the twenty-seventh, and the old men in the family did not have to go to the court or go to the yamen to do things.

Yunzhu stood by the corridor under the window, listening to their chat.

She has also been walking in Jia's mother courtyard for more than ten days now, and in previous years, she had seen those concubines come to greet the old lady, but this year, she was extremely eager and flattering, and even Mrs. Xing, who had a lot of things, spoke a lot more tactfully.

"I heard that His Majesty intends to ask the prince to enter the imperial study to listen to errands." Jia Zheng is a relatively serious person in the inner house, and it is rare to mention the pattern outside, these things are not something that the girl in the inner house can understand.

But Yunzhu has an adult core, of course she knows what kind of person is sitting on the dragon chair in feudal society, which is directly related to the difficulty of most people in the second half of their lives, which makes her can't help but prick up her ears.

"Into the study?" I don't know who exclaimed.

"Bacheng is a matter of wanting to ask the prince to supervise the country after the year, if so, wouldn't the concubine Niangniang be able to help us." Although the Jia family has always followed behind the prince, in the end, the nephews of the Jia family have withered, and the prince has always watched with a lukewarm attitude, and he has never interacted with the Jia Mansion on the surface.

Now that there is a rumor of the crown prince in the palace, everyone in the capital who has some ears, eyes and brains has already moved.

"Come to think of it, if Your Majesty wants to support the prince, it is natural to establish authority for the prince first and collect the humerus, but who will be the Taibao?"

The crown prince Taibao said that he was the future emperor, not only having a prominent position in the first grade, but also having the right to spur the prince to assist the East Palace, which can be described as the Jerusalem of civil officials, and the ultimate pursuit on the official road.

However, in addition to being talented and characterful, such a person must be an important confidant in the heart of the emperor of the current dynasty. The pillars of such a country are not something that the Jia family can come out of, and everyone in the house knows it, but they are all silent.

Yun Zhu sighed in his heart, the destruction of a family really started with no successor.

The silence didn't last long.

The old lady came out with a smile, a new dress from the inside out to fit and atmospheric, the mandarin duck and Mrs. Wang helped her left and right, sat in front of the hall in the upper room, very kind and happy, the children and nephews in front of the hall stepped forward one by one to say auspicious words, just like the children and grandchildren painted in those years are full of wealth and wealth.

A year has passed, although she is a year old, but looking at the people in front of her Ding Xing, where is the blessing of the four generations in the same house? The old lady became more and more energetic in her heart, cared for the past one by one, and then distributed the New Year's money, from noon to dinner.

Jiafu, as the emperor's 'Yue family', also wants to enter the palace on the first day of the Lunar New Year to congratulate, one is to congratulate, and the other is to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Yuan.

Yunzhu and the others stood under the corridor for most of the day, and the mandarin duck pulled out a basket of copper coins after everyone dispersed, and asked everyone to grab a handful of New Year's money and have fun together.

Looking at his fist, which is not much bigger than Xiaolongbao, Yunzhu wants to cry without tears, can't it be fair? Do you hold it for everyone!

In the end, if Amber hadn't cheated and caught a few of them twice, wouldn't it be a big loss today.

When he pinched his purse and returned to Jiang Yunxuan, he saw that the courtyard was unusually quiet, Yun Zhu was stunned, and tiptoed towards the bedroom, and when he pushed the door, he saw Xiaohong sewing something under the window alone.

The wooden door creaked, Xiaohong turned around and saw the pink cloud beads on her face, hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand and slid down to the bed, and poured a cup of ginger tea from the small stove, "It's freezing today, right?" Use some ginger tea to dispel the cold. Second Master Bao is happy today, he is drunk and drunk, he is confused, and now Huixiang and Musk Yue are waiting together. ”

Tonight, the two of them slept on their own.

That's nice.

Yunzhu sucked ginger tea, her face flushed and smiled, "Although it is colder, the reward is also a lot." As he spoke, he spread out his palm, revealing a large handful of copper coins, mixed with two or three grains of broken silver, about six or seven coins.

Seeing this wealth fan, Xiaohong snorted, but she didn't say it and asked her father and mother for a word, so that she didn't have to go out in winter.

"Second Master Bao also rewarded the New Year's money today, your share is in the hands of Sister Qi, and there are more than one or two!"

"Really?!" Yunzhu's eyes are brighter, this day is worth three months, how many times is this overtime pay?

She couldn't help but squint her eyes with a smile, and she couldn't even notice the coldness on her body.

Chinese New Year's Eve is the family to meet the old lady.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Chaohe returned, it was the decent housekeepers and maids in the house who went to kowtow to the old lady, and I heard that there was also a heavy reward, but unfortunately Yunzhu did not have the blessing and qualification to get this reward.

I had to nest in Jiang Yunxuan to make bubble tea for myself.

The milk is boiled with honey and flower dew, which removes the fishy smell and adds sweetness, and then takes the remaining tea leaves and honey to bake caramel, and the two phases collide so much, which is really very catchy to people's taste buds.

"Okay, you treacherous one, you are hiding here!" As soon as Qifei pushed the door, he saw Yunzhu and Xiaohong drinking something fragrantly, looking at the two satisfied and sighing faces, "I smelled the aroma from afar, and I guessed what Yunzhu was doing." ”

Xiaohong smiled and said thoughtfully: "Sister Qi is here, come in quickly and warm up, it's snowing early this morning, don't freeze." ”

Yunzhu smirked, got up to give up his seat to Qifei, and took a new cup to hold a bowl of milk tea.

The tapioca flour mixed with pumpkin puree made of tiny "pearls" floated in the brown milk tea, and the hot and sweet appearance was the first to capture three people.

"The small kitchen is the old lady's, you see the sky to get things, and you are not afraid of asking people to sue you for being black!" Qi Fei squinted his eyes, his mouth was damaged, but his expression couldn't be faked, obviously he was very useful for this milk tea.

"It's also Aunt Song who is kind, she took these leftovers and made a share of the food for her, and the small kitchen couldn't ask for it." Tinkering with some fresh food from time to time is also an important means to adjust life, Yunzhu sighed in her heart.

When Qi Fei heard this, she didn't bother anymore, and only said, "Although it's all milk, the cake is still delicious." You don't know yet, do you? The recipes that the second grandmother got from you have already been passed on to the Beijing Palace! A few days ago, Baoyu also said that if anyone in Beijing does not have a chef who makes cakes, it will be less decent! ”

"Oh, the New Year's money is the same as the reward, Baoyu said that you can ask him to raise his face outside, but this name is not good for you to bear, so I will give you more reward."

As he spoke, a lotus-colored purse fell into Yunzhu's arms, and when he opened it, he saw two strings of big coins threaded together, and a peony-shaped gold bill.

Without waiting for Yunzhu to come back to her senses, Xiaohong said in surprise: "Oops, I've made a fortune!" ”

"The second grandmother has already given the reward for this ..... cake recipe, and it is not appropriate for the second master to give it again." Yun Zhu glanced at Xiaohong, and pushed the gold coin forward in pain, Jia Baoyu rewarded people with silk and satin cloth or calligraphy and painting ornaments can be taken out of the private treasury, but the real gold and silver are to be accounted for in the house.

As long as the wives and grandmothers pay attention, they will definitely know, if she accepts it with peace of mind at this time, won't she fall into the impression of insatiable greed? Will there be any rewards in the future?

Thinking so, Yunzhu felt that she needed to be humble.

"Then I'll take it back to the second master?" Seeing her reluctance, Qifei deliberately took the golden bill, and couldn't help but tease her.

Yunzhu seemed to be crying and laughing, and said with a smile: "It should be, it should be." ”

For the sake of longer-term interests, timely positive feedback should be, it should be, I hope Jia Baoyu will get acquainted with each other and appreciate things that are not recorded in the account in the future. But she didn't know that her attribute of being a wealth fan had already been put on Jia Baoyu's heart.

Qi Fei glanced at Yun Zhu deeply, and left with a cup of milk tea and a cup of maple dew tea.

"Why don't you take the reward? Since Baoyu has rewarded you, it means that he feels that he should be rewarded in his heart. Xiaohong was very puzzled, although she was not short of money to spend, she could see that the gold coin was pushed out, and something vaguely flashed in her heart, but more at a loss.

No one wants the maid who serves the young master to be a shallow-eyed frivolous person. As a part-time worker, don't miss a cent of the money you should collect, and naturally you can't touch the money you shouldn't ask for.

But how can we talk to people about such thoughts? So I had to break up the words I had just said to Qifei again, and say it to Xiaohong again.

Who knew that after Qifei sent Jia Baoyu's tea, he didn't tell Baoyu about Yunzhu's resignation and reward, and secondly, he went to Wang Xifeng's courtyard by visiting the door.

When Ping'er saw it, she didn't say much, so she directly led Qifei to Sister Feng'er.

Wang Xifeng listened thoughtfully, and his eyes were much gentler.

After Qifei left, Sister Feng patted Ping'er's hand and said with a smile: "It's rare to be so stable at a young age, neither pampered and spoiled, but also served Brother Bao for so long and didn't give birth to any fancy intestines, which is a good one." ”

Ping'er remembered the appearance of the wealth fan, and it was not good to poke her grandmother's words, so she had to cover her mouth and laugh, and said in her heart that this girl didn't know which way to worship the right fairy, so she called the second grandmother to fall in love.

Isn't the spring of money fans coming soon?
