The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Although I came here halfway, and I have only lived in the manor for two years, I really hope that the people in the manor can live a good life."

"Man proposes, God disposes, I will work hard." Li Fu smiled and poured himself a glass of wine, raised it: "Come, I'll drink first to show my respect, and as I said, you should also work hard."

Thinking of the locust plague next year, Li Fu has already started thinking about rolling up all the dead.

After chatting with the tablets in the ancestral hall, Li Fu left the ancestral hall, and Lao Zhao and Xiao Tao were waiting respectfully outside the ancestral hall.

Li Fu looked up at the night sky.

"It's almost done, let everyone take a seat, and the kitchen is busy, it's almost done, this is the only meal in the whole year, and they can't be neglected." Li Fu said.

"Don't worry, my dear, everything has been arranged." Lao Zhao responded.

"Well, have you carried the reward money for the people in the house?" Li Fu asked.

"This is not available yet, it is still in the warehouse, but it is ready, just take it over when the time comes." Lao Zhao said: "My dear, do you need someone to carry it over now?"

"Well, carry it over now, give them a reward first, and let everyone be happy."

Put happy things first, then this happy moment can last for a long time. The things you actually get are different from the expectations. Expectations make people happy, but when you get the real things, you will be happier than when you expect to get them.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to go to the warehouse and carry all the boxes over." Lao Zhao responded: "You and Xiaotao go first."

Li Fu nodded and responded, and took Xiaotao to the banquet.

After Li Fu entered the hall, the originally noisy hall was briefly quiet, and everyone stood up, facing Li Fu, bowed and saluted.

"Greetings, Sir, I wish you good health."

"Everyone, I wish you good health." Li Fu smiled and looked at everyone: "Everyone, please sit down. You have worked hard for a year. Let's relax today."

"Thank you, Sir." Everyone bowed and responded.

After Li Fu took his seat, everyone in the hall sat down one after another.

Not long after, Lao Zhao came with his people and stopped at the door.

"Sir, the things are here." Lao Zhao stood at the door and bowed.

"Carry it in, bring it in." Li Fu smiled and waved to Lao Zhao.

Lao Zhao stood at the door and signaled to the people behind him to carry the things in.

Everyone in the hall saw that what was carried in were large boxes tied with red silk, and cheers broke out in an instant.

"Give money!" Li Fu waved his hand.

He stood up, came to the middle of the boxes, and asked people to open the boxes.

The boxes were full of copper coins, and four people had to work hard to lift a large box.

Seeing the copper coins in the box, the eyes of the people present all burst into dazzling light.

Money, real money.

"I won't say more. In the past year, our whole family has been smooth and safe. I hope it will be the same next year!" Li Fu said: "Old Zhao! Come, distribute the money according to the list."

"Yes." Old Zhao's face was also red, and he bowed his hands in response.

Who doesn't like a master like his own husband when working in a big mansion? He gives money as soon as he disagrees, and doesn't say any long-winded words. It's just so straightforward.

The maids and servants in the mansion, plus Li Fu's guards, add up to more than 70 people.

Even if each person gets one string of money, it's only more than 70 strings.

For Li Fu, who earned money this year, it's just a drop in the bucket.

Besides, who gives an odd number of lucky money during the New Year?

Two strings per person! Pairs are for luck!

So this year, Li Fu gave everyone two strings of money as a reward, all copper coins, heavy.

Two strings of money, two thousand coins, even more than what ordinary people earn in a year.

Li Fu never mistreats people who work for him. When he was poor, he thought that when he became rich in the future, he would never be like that middle-aged bald, pot-bellied, stingy and troublesome boss.

You must never live like someone you hate.

Isn't it just money? He earns so much, but he eats meat and doesn't give soup to his subordinates. Is such a person afraid of being struck by lightning?

No wonder he was thinking about finding a Feng Shui master all day long...

If you don't have any guilty conscience, you can't spend a lot of money to hire a master...

Just like me, even in this situation, I didn't think about asking Yuan Shoucheng to exorcise the evil spirits for me. How upright he is, how kind and upright, how outstanding, how... awesome...Old Zhao was looking at the account book, the accountant was recording the names, and the servants were distributing money from the box.

"All are available. Don't be anxious. Come in groups. Don't crowd." There were servants maintaining order.

People in the hall lined up to receive the money.

Li Fu found a place to sit down, and the servants who received the money came to Li Fu and bowed.

This is a generous reward.

Li Fu kept smiling and nodding.

He felt that he was very amiable.

This feeling, the seniority is going up.... He is just ~19~ years old~~

The reward money was distributed very quickly. In just two quarters of an hour, the box was empty. Someone carried it directly to the yard and waited for tomorrow afternoon to clean it up.

"Let's have dinner!"

At Li Fu's command, everyone went back to their respective positions. The reward money they just received was put aside, and there was no need to worry about it being stolen.

Who would lose the big picture for the small?

The atmosphere in the hall was very lively, everyone was toasting and chatting happily.

Li Fu sat on the cushion by himself, with Lao Zhao and Xiao Tao beside him.

Liu Niang brought Tie Zhu, Wu Liangye and others to sit at the same table with Li Fu.

Except for Wu Liangye and the other six, the others were all people who had followed Li Fu from the village in Jingyang County from the beginning to the present.

And Wu Liangye and others, since they followed Li Fu, have really worked hard. Compared with other people in this house, they are also the most qualified to sit at the same table with Li Fu.

"Come, let's toast to the young master together." Lao Zhao, as the housekeeper, took the lead in picking up the wine glass and raised the glass to toast Li Fu.

Li Fu naturally drank less.

Today Li Fu still drank sake. After all, there was a big court meeting early tomorrow morning, and he couldn't delay it because of drinking.

After drinking a glass of wine, Li Fu put down the wine glass, looked at everyone, and took the chopsticks.

"Don't just drink, eat the food." Li Fu said with a smile.

After Li Fu took the lead in picking up his chopsticks, everyone at the table started to pick up their chopsticks and eat the food.
