Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 824 Red Envelope (Part [-])
"Geya, I heard that someone in the martial arts hall...chased...chased..." Yu Cheng came to the kitchen and said to Goya who was cleaning the leaves.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Goya pouted.

"Then did you agree to him?" Yu Cheng asked confusedly.

"Do you care about me? It's none of your business whether I agree or not?" said Goya, who took the initiative.

"I... don't you really want to eat stewed duck, I'll take you there when I'm off work in two days..." Yu Cheng said bravely.

"No need," Goya said.

"Then shall we go to the theater?" Yu Cheng hesitated for a moment, then said again.

"No." Goya refused Yu Cheng again.

Da Yuer, Xiao Xiuer and the others secretly eavesdropped outside, they couldn't help laughing.

"Da Yu'er, why did you come up with such a bad idea to let Goya reject Yu Cheng no matter what he said, wouldn't this hurt Yu Cheng?" Although Xiao Xiu'er thought it was interesting, she still felt sorry for the poor Yu Cheng .

"Have you ever heard that the easier it is to get something, the less people care about it? It's the same with men. With Goya's carefree character, if you keep chasing after him, it's not easy to succeed. It's better to hang him first Naturally, it will be easy to win the appetite." Da Yuer said.

"Sister, you are amazing, no wonder you are able to become an official in Liubu." After a long time of contact with Da Yuer, Xiao Xiu'er found that her younger sister, who was only slightly younger than her, had a very high IQ and EQ.

"What's the use of knowing these things." Da Yuer said casually.

"Two sisters, come and help me." Liu Rushi called from the side.

"Okay." Xiao Xiuer and Da Yuer said.

A group of women and servants in the military lord's mansion were busy all the time, preparing for the evening family banquet.

"Close the gate, unless it is an urgent matter, thank you all." Yu Cheng said to several guards standing guard in front of the gate, "This is the red envelope given to you by the military lord in advance."

"Thank you, my lord." The guards at the door excitedly accepted the red envelopes. It is worthwhile to be on duty here on New Year's Eve!
As the night got darker, the household electric lights in Chu Yun's mansion illuminated the interior as if it were daytime, and the smell of food permeated the mansion.

Chu Yun sat in the main seat, and managed to have a more lively atmosphere. Before, he had a relatively deserted life.

His unique status determines that it is impossible to recruit some subordinates to celebrate the New Year, otherwise it will cause some rumors or struggles within the Kyushu Army, and he can only invite others through Ayla's personal relationship.

"This is Dongpo pork." Liu Rushi brought out two plates of brightly red delicacies.

This family banquet mainly relied on Liu Rushi's Jiangnan cuisine, Chu Yun's own mansion cook's northern cuisine, and the more primitive dishes of Xiao Xiuer and Goya's mountain tribe.

"The dishes are all served, you should sit down together." Chu Yun said to the newcomers Xiao Xiu'er, Liu Rushi, Ge Ya and others.

"It's unavoidable, let's go to the side hall to eat." Xiao Xiu'er and Liu Rushi waved their hands again and again.

Yu Cheng moved the chairs over: "The military master won't mind these things. Haven't you seen such a big round table? The chairs have been moved here, but the meals are not prepared in the side hall."

He was Chu Yun's personal bodyguard, and he was also an orphan. He was kept in the mansion by Chu Yun every year during festivals, so he got used to eating at the same table with Chu Yun as a subordinate.

"Just sit down." Ella gave them encouraging looks.

Xiao Xiu'er, Liu Rushi and the others sat down with peace of mind, and found it incredible that this was a family feast.

Da Yuer had also been invited by Ella several times before to attend Chu Yun's family banquet at this time, so she was familiar with everything and didn't feel nervous.

"Before we start, whether it's for public or private, I would like to thank all of you for your continuous contributions. This is a little bit of my heart, please be sure to accept it." Chu Yun took out a stack of red paper, on which each Personal names are given to different people, and the amount is naturally different.

"Thank you, Commander!" Yu Cheng knew that what he got was the year-end bonus, although it was deducted by Chu Yun for some reason.

"I have it too?" Liu Rushi couldn't help being surprised when she received her own red envelope.

"Of course, thanks to your busy work in the mansion during this time, and you haven't received the salary that was given to you before, you can't refuse this time." Chu Yun said.

Liu Rushi stayed in Chu Yun's mansion to take care of Aila until this winter, and she also brought Chen Yuanyuan with her. If she didn't pay her, it really wouldn't make sense.

"Not only you, but also Yuanyuan. This is lucky money." Chu Yun also sealed a red envelope for Chen Yuanyuan brought by Liu Rushi.

"Thank you, brother Chu." Chen Yuanyuan took it obediently.

"And yours." Chu Yun gave the red envelopes to Xiao Xiu'er and Ge Ya again.

Yu Cheng's heart ached like a knife at this moment, part of his year-end bonus deducted by Chu Yunke was deducted by Chu Yun to Xiao Xiu'er, Ge Ya and the others.

"I didn't expect to receive red envelopes in addition to delicious food here. The Spring Festival is really great. There should be more such festivals in a year! Commander, you can order that the beginning of every month is the Spring Festival." Ge Ya didn't know that the red envelope that Chu Yun gave her used part of Yu Cheng's year-end bonus, so she was a little excited.

Yu Cheng wiped his sweat secretly, if he had to give Goya a red envelope like this every month, his salary would not be given up at all.

Chu Yun couldn't help but smile: "Things are rare and valuable. If there is a festival every month, what is the difference from ordinary days? There are no red envelopes on ordinary days."

Goya thought for a while: "You're right, it's better to collect once a year."

"Ahem, where's mine...?" Nelson couldn't help being depressed when he saw that Chu Yun gave it to everyone, but he was missing
"The Ministry of the Navy has its own bonuses, which are formulated and distributed by the Personnel Department of the Military Department according to each person's military merits, ranks and positions. They were distributed years ago. I can't give them to you in private," Chu Yun said.

"But that bonus, I have already deposited all of my previous salary into Kyushu Bank, and it will be fixed for ten years, and I will leave it to my grandson in the future. There is no money for the wine." Nelson said.

"..." Chu Yun felt that this preference was too much.

"Father, I have something for you here." Ella also took out a stack of red paper and distributed it again.

"Why did you take out all your little treasury?" Chu Yun whispered to Ella.

Chu Yun knew that what Ella sealed in the red paper was part of her own salary for the past few years, her only savings.Apart from this savings and an empty yard, she has nothing left.

"It's okay." Ayla shook her head indifferently, teasing the child in her arms dotingly.
