Lunch is still a while away, let's take a break.
Xiu He understood in her heart. Although Song Gege was the first person among the gege, however...
She crossed the bottom line of Fu Jin, and it's impossible for her to get along with Fu Jin from now on.
Yun Gege is indeed a Fu Jin's person, but her seniority is not enough, and Master Zhai doesn't like her very much.
Only Geng Gege and Xiao Yuezi were there. Fourth Master didn't go, but he rewarded them several times, it seems that he values them highly.
Nowadays, she takes the lead, and there's nothing wrong with it.
Geng Geng immediately understood what Fu Jin meant.
Whether to pull or not is secondary, the implication of squeezing Song Gege is already clear.
"I understand now, thank you for telling me, Xiuhua." Geng said with a smile.
After coming out of confinement, Geng's family also officially returned to everyone's sight.
Actually, it still needs to be raised for about ten days, but with the Golden Week approaching, it was released ahead of schedule.
However, for now, I still can't serve in the bedchamber.
On the day of the Golden Festival, Fourth Master and others got up in the middle of the night. Furen and Ce Furen went to the palace together.
Fourth Master didn't call Second Brother and Da Gege that day, the reason being that Second Brother was ill, and Da Gege wasn't at ease.
The situation in the palace is not good, the children have gone and if they get scared, they will really fall ill.
As for San Ge's child who is not yet a month old, of course he won't go.
Getting up at the time of ye zao doesn't count as early, it's just a bit earlier than usual.
After getting up and dressing, there was no hurry. Lunch was eaten in one's own room, while dinner was served as usual in the Pavilion of a Hundred Flowers.
The leaves were gathered and tidied up by themselves, then they called their own people in.
"Today is a holiday, I don't dare to say that I'm rewarding you, my family situation, you all understand. Just consider it as between sisters, giving each other gifts." Ye Zao smiled and said.
Everyone said they didn't dare, she was of low status, but no one dared to look down on her because of her low status.
The girl is capable, talented and clever.
Ye Zao smiled and handed two bundles to A Yuan and A Ling respectively.
A purse containing five taels of silver.
He also gave two pouches of rouge and amber, which were five taels each.
"You follow me, it's a bit harder. Take care of yourself, if there's something you can't solve, come find me. Remember, I don't like to see my family's children looking pale and thin. Eat well."
The little pavilion knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you so much, miss. I'm... deeply grateful."
"Get up." Ye Zao said with a smile.
Xiao Tingzi stood up: "Actually, I'm full, Miss has been treating me very well." This was the truth, since he came to Jin Yu Ge, he had never gone hungry.
Although eunuchs have rules that they are not allowed to eat their fill, they generally eat until they are about 80% full.
"That's good. Don't envy him either, he's still young and needs to be taken care of." Ye Zao said.
Everyone says they don't dare and really won't envy a child.
Song Danniang gave Ye Zao three taels.
Song Daigne doesn't have much to do these days. Although there is no one specifically in charge of cleaning here at Ye Zao's place, someone always takes care of it.
Everyone thanked Ye Zao and went busy with their own affairs.
Rouge and amber went to the kitchen, the girl wants to bring some glutinous rice back to brew wine.
On the road, two people whispered: "The girl is really generous."
The implication is that the girl has a lot of money.
Although they also served beside her, they didn't know much about the young lady's things, nor did they dare to know.
Now, four maidservants, one eunuch and one old woman have gone for thirty-three taels of silver, which is not a small sum.
In Dream of the Red Chamber, when Liu Laolao came to Rongguo Mansion to beg for food during the autumn wind season, she was given 20 taels of silver, which was enough for a common family of four to spend in a year.
Those girls, one of them got five taels of silver, which is enough to buy things for a year.
"It's better to live a good life than anything else." Amber said with a smile.
She seemed to have figured it out, and the girl had a plan in mind. Serving well, even as a concubine, didn't necessarily mean she couldn't live a life of luxury.
She just nodded with rouge on her face, and she didn't mean anything else.
Although it was busy in the kitchen, Ye Gongzhu just wanted some glutinous rice, which wasn't a big deal at all.
Two eunuchs didn't even need to lift it, and a young eunuch was called to send over two bags.
A bag of ten kilograms.
Amber handed the silver to Little Shunzi: "Can't take it for nothing, Uncle Shun will collect it. And this, this is our daughter's intention, saying that it's a festival gift, buy wine for Uncle to drink."
The importance of the Dragon Boat Festival for the Manchu people is no less than that of the Spring Festival, and in the early days it was even more serious than the Spring Festival.
In a year, Ye Zao sends gifts twice, which are during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year.
This time for Xiao Shunzi, it's another ten taels.
Xiao Shunzi's hands were all received softly, and it was quite embarrassing to receive them.
Of course, there were also small osmanthus trees in front of the house, and flower pots in the needlework room.
She also gave five taels to Auntie He.
Ye Zao indeed spent a lot of money, but she didn't feel any pain.
It's just these four places giving silver, Amber doesn't know, they only know about the kitchen.
The rest will be handled by A Yuan and A Ling.
Ye Zao is not worried about the silver being unhandy, it's not lacking now, and if it's lacking in the future, those accessories without internal structure can be melted down.
Besides, looking at her uncle's attitude, it's clear he dotes on her sincerely.
It's really hopeless now, so I had no choice but to swallow my pride and beg for help from my uncle.
The worst idea is that Uncle would be willing to give five thousand taels at once, and thinking about it... he might even be willing to give a bit more?
Coughing... this is quite shameless, but days have to be spent somehow, right?
Take advantage of Fourth Master's favor towards her, and get as many good things and silver as possible.
That's right, you have to take the initiative!
However, looking at it now, Fourth Master is quite generous. He gave several times this year, and during the Spring Festival, he even gave 200 taels of loose silver.
Also gave five golden peanuts, one weighing two taels each.
Then don't waste it, just save it.
The rest, apart from fabrics, also includes accessories, with gold and jade available. They can't be considered top-notch, but they're all very good.
There is also a can of good tea, two cans of honey and two cans of white sugar.
Don't think this is cheap stuff.
In the Qing dynasty, unless you were a beekeeper, honey was also a luxury. White sugar was even more so; in the imperial palace, not to mention the concubines' allowance, even princesses could hardly see it a few times a year.
There are also three big bags of brown sugar, which is what Ye Zao wants. She sometimes has stomach pain when she gets her period.
Fourth Master knows this can relieve it, definitely won't be stingy.
Three big packages, I'm afraid they weigh thirty kilograms...
From a modern perspective, these are things that cost little money, but for Ye Qian's identity and the social environment he is in, these are all good things that are hard to come by.
So, Fourth Master's reward was truly thoughtful of her.
What's more, Fourth Master had never complained about her spending speed.
It's even as if it feels ordinary.
"Miss, what would you like to wear tonight?" Ah Yuan asked as she came back from the front yard.
"Whatever, as long as it looks good." Ye Zao didn't intentionally show off in front of the few women, but he also didn't mean to be low-key.
"That's easy, a girl looks good in anything." Ah Yuan covered her mouth and smiled.
