Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 78 A Gentleman Loves Money

While talking, Mama Liu had cooked a hot meal and served it up.

Crab yellow tofu, Longjing shrimp, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised winter bamboo shoots, and several light and refreshing Jiangnan dishes were served first, and then a pot of sauerkraut and sweet-scented osmanthus fish was brought out.

Zhao Xi smiled and said, "My mother secretly made this fish with pickled cabbage.

The third lady took a sip of the sour soup with a small spoon and tasted it lightly.

Really fresh and fragrant, with a touch of lotus root fragrance.

She took another piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, only to feel that the meat was tender and smooth in the mouth. She couldn't help but praised: "The taste of sour and spicy is just right, even I am a Jiangnan native, I am used to eating it."

After finishing the meal, the third lady asked Zhao Xiwei a few more words, then got up and said goodbye: "It's getting late, I have to go back."

Zhao Xiwei knew that she was going to go back to take care of the two children, so she didn't stay any longer, and only called Mama Liu to see her off.

The maids tidied up the room, and changed the water for a few bottles of jasmine, plum blossoms, and daffodils, and placed them on the pineapple wood shelf.

It is rainy season outside the house, but the inside is more and more vibrant, like spring.

In the sixteen years of my life, it is rare to have such a peaceful and peaceful time.

Thinking that the Qiao Mansion didn't reply so quickly for a while, and there was no need to rush the tea making.

Zhao Xi sat under the green window screen and continued to open and read "The Story of Huayang Kingdom" halfway through.

It was completely dark, and the lights were on in the house.

Yinbao happily lifted the curtain from the corridor and entered: "Miss!"

Yulan who followed behind also narrowed her eyes with a smile.

Jinxiu was folding clothes on the side, and when she heard the movement, she came out, and said angrily, "What are you doing yelling and screaming, so that the little girl outside hears that her studies are broken."

As he spoke, he couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, looking at Zhao Xiwei.

Zhao Xiwei saw that they were all happy, so he put down the book in his hand and said with a smile, "Why are you so happy."

Yinbao's eyes were sparkling, and he held a red purse embroidered with auspicious patterns in both hands: "The monthly money has been issued! You have doubled! Not only that, our Rose Garden is double the difference!"

Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment.

The monthly bill of each young lady in the Zhao residence is [-] taels, and she gets double, that is [-] taels.

Her first reaction was that the old lady wanted to make amends for herself. Since entering the mansion, the old lady's attitude towards her gradually changed from indifference to concern, from rejection to acceptance.

The best way to reflect these improvements is the cost of food and clothing in the Rose Garden, which is more than twice as good as when you came in.

Coupled with these two recent incidents, the old lady felt even more guilty, so she wanted to subsidize her with Yueyin?
But I don't know, this is not a good thing.

It is not a lot of money, but it is enough to make other people in the house jealous.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiwei restrained his smile and asked, "Do you know why I am twice as much as others? Is that what the old lady meant?"

Seeing that the master was not as happy as he thought, Yinbao was stunned for a moment: "Miss Hui's words are what the eldest lady meant."

It turned out to be Xu.

Zhao Xiwei felt even more strange.

The eldest lady has always treated her with a cold face, how could she change her normal behavior and give herself twice as much money?
Giving you various benefits for no reason makes you the object of envy in everyone's eyes. This kind of behavior is not called petting, but flattering.

I thought again, Madam's temperament, hatred is plain hatred, how could she use such a yin method?

Zhao Xi frowned slightly: "Jinxiu, go to the warehouse and return the excess Yueyin. Tell the manager again and say that our Rose Garden doesn't do this kind of special thing. How many other ladies are there? It's just how much you take."

Jinxiu has a sharp mind and understands what Zhao Xiwei means.

It seems that their lady is really a very principled person.

Yin Bao didn't expect so much. She widened her eyes and said, "Miss, do you really want to return the money?"

It's not that she has shallow eyelids, but that a penny really stumped three heroes.

The young lady returned home from the country and basically had few valuables on hand.

If the reward is too shabby from this high gate compound, it will be looked down upon.

The young lady also understood this truth, so she even let her secretly go outside and make two hairpins and a pair of bracelets, which she used to reward those maids and ladies on weekdays.

The four taels of silver that I got now, just return it like this?

Yulan also persuaded: "Miss, since Da Furen has such a kind intention, you can accept it. A month is four taels, and a year is nearly 50 taels. It is easier to do things with more money. You have to plan for the long-term future." .”

There is a sense of planning ahead in these words.

Jinxiu was also a little hesitant: "Miss, if you thank the eldest lady, you will accept her love!"

The three big maids nodded again and again.

Yes, from the moment she entered the manor to the present, how she got such a status step by step, they all know better than anyone else.

But in the final analysis, the young lady's foundation is unstable, and her status as a prostitute is here, these pets are unrealistic.

Only silver is a solid thing.

Although if you take this money, you will make enemies, but so what?
Several people suddenly became a little depressed.

Zhao Xiwei couldn't help but smile and comforted them: "I just don't want to receive the money, how can I see that I don't plan for myself. Besides, Madam Qiao's visit this time is not just to bring us a way to make money. ?"

Several people's eyes lit up: "What is Mrs. Qiao doing here?"

Zhao Xiwei briefly talked about tea making.

Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way.

If you don't deserve it, you will lose it if you get it, and what you deserve should be earned with your heart.

"Really?!"

Yinbao is a money junkie, counting on his fingers: "That's 200 taels of silver!! Miss, you're rich!"

"Yeah." Zhao Xi nodded slightly, "We have the brain and ability to make money ourselves, why should we make the whole government jealous for these two taels of silver? Although money will be a little tight right now, life will always be lived out, as long as You follow me steadily, and I can't make you live worse than other girls."

Several maids looked at Zhao Xiwei gratefully.

I thought that coming to this Rose Garden was an unfortunate fate, but I didn't expect that the young lady didn't let herself suffer at all, but instead treated them as her own and fought for their interests!
Zhao Xiwei saw that they had regained their confidence, so he ordered: "Go and find the others in the garden, I have something to explain."

Since there is a big event to be done, the rules in the garden are going to be up.

At the same time, the palace is also busy cleaning up the rules.

Today's great dynasty, the emperor sits in the golden hall, and the queen mother sits behind the curtain in full costume.

Hundreds of Yulin-lang held halberds and stood in awe outside the gate of the hall.
