Lin Mengya and Bai Su had been busy all day, and now they just wanted to go back to their room to rest.
There are a little too many guests staying overnight today. After all, tomorrow's banquet is very important. After receiving the invitation, many people were first surprised and then surprised.
They didn't refund their membership fees at the beginning, and they didn't rush to draw a clear line with Mengyuan. Some of them were because of the face of Mrs. Mai, Ye Lingfang and Mrs. Jing.
Some simply think that this is nonsense. They know what is in it better than anyone else, so why should they be bothered by those rumors? ???
Some are just wavering. After all, Mengyuan's services and the things inside are really rare. It would be a pity for them if they can no longer enjoy it in the future.
But I have to say that Mengyuan gave them a surprising reward.
This made many people change their minds.
Perhaps, this dream garden is really extraordinary!
And they are lucky enough to become the first batch of members. After that, maybe they can get more benefits from this?
In just a few days, Meng Yuan's reputation not only reversed, but also became a favorite of many people.
This was also an unexpected surprise for Lin Mengya.
In the evening until just before closing, there were carriages bringing guests back and forth outside the door.
In order not to bump into the guests and to ensure the freshness of tomorrow's lantern parade, Lin Mengya asked the craftsmen to deliver the lanterns in the evening.
On the way back, I happened to pass by the warehouse.
Lin Mengya saw a group of people transporting lanterns to the warehouse.
"Why are they still delivering goods so late?" Lin Mengya took a look and asked Bai Su casually.
The latter immediately explained two sentences.
Lin Mengya nodded and said nothing.
"I'm thinking of giving each of them an extra ten cents in overtime pay. It's hard for them to do it so late."
Because men are not allowed to enter the Dream Garden, all the women who came to deliver lanterns were the female relatives of the craftsmen.
Don't underestimate these lanterns. The skeleton inside plus various mechanisms, decorations, etc. weighs ten or twenty kilograms at least, and the larger ones weigh dozens or hundreds of kilograms.
The bad thing is that most of them have done work at home, otherwise they might not even be able to lift it.
Moreover, although the ten cents Lin Mengya gave them was not much, it was overtime pay for each of them.
In other words, they can hide the ten cents and not pay them home.
The women are very grateful, so they are very proactive when handing over things.
And they rarely have this kind of work, so although they are a little shy every time they come, they will arrange the warehouse neatly and clean it before leaving.
Lin Mengya also asked her subordinates not to be too harsh on them.

I would give them some pine nut candies, shortbread cookies, sugar cakes, etc., and this group of people would be very grateful.
It was late at night, and Lin Mengya yawned.
It's time to go back to sleep.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she turned around, someone came to her to report the news.
"Master, someone wants to see you."
"Who is it? Can you come back tomorrow?" She rubbed her forehead tiredly.
Sure enough, such a busy life is still a bit reluctant for her.
But in my heart, I don't feel how hard it is.
Everything is difficult at the beginning!
As long as Meng Yuan can run smoothly, she will have less and less things to do in the future, but now she really feels a little sleepy.
"It's the craftsman's daughter who came to deliver lanterns. They saw you just now and knew that you were the boss here, so they came to ask me to be accommodating."
In fact, after seeing the exhaustion on her master's face, she regretted it a little.
Bai Su also frowned slightly. He was about to say that this was too ignorant. Didn't you see that the master was tired?
But Lin Mengya rubbed her face and said helplessly: "Since we have met, it may be fate, so bring him over!"
Bai Su disagreed a little, "Master, why do you have to force yourself?"
Lin Mengya walked to a resting pavilion nearby and leaned lazily on a chair.
Most of the chairs in Mengyuan are equipped with soft cotton cushions, so instead of being cold when you sit on them, they are very comfortable.
If it is a hot day at noon, a layer of soft and non-fitting mat cushions will be placed on the surface.
There are countless details like this in Dream Garden, which is why so many people like it.
Bai Su felt a little distressed when he saw her like this, so he walked over and gently rubbed her shoulders, trying to relieve Lin Mengya's discomfort.
When the person was brought over, she patted Bai Su's hand, indicating that she could pause.
In the moonlight, the light was not very bright.
All you can see is that the little girl brought over by the escort is slender and the clothes she is wearing are not new, but there are no patches. It just looks a bit too big and does not look like her own clothes.
What Lin Mengya didn't know was that women like them had no chance to come.
But the wages she pays here are high, so the man in charge of the family, in order not to embarrass the women who go out to deliver goods, will make them change into good clothes at home.
this
The clothes on the girl were the best clothes that her mother could not bear to wear.
But in the eyes of these rich people, she was still as shabby, so she looked a little embarrassed and kept her head lowered.
Lin Mengya didn't want to embarrass the girl, and asked softly: "Little girl, you want to see me, but do you have any difficulties that you need my help with?"
When the girl heard this, she shook her head desperately.
This is strange.
Lin Mengya thought she had scared the little girl, so her voice became softer.
"Don't be afraid. If someone bullies you or you have any difficulties, just say it. I can't help you, but with more people and more strength, you can always find a way."
The guard who brought her here was also a little anxious. He gave her a little tug and lowered his voice and asked, "Didn't you say you have something important to tell my master?"
The little girl then remembered that, indeed, something was wrong with her.
She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment. Just when Lin Mengya was thinking that maybe this girl was just joking with them, she finally spoke.
It's just that the voice was so small that if Lin Mengya hadn't had an outstanding ear, she might not have been able to hear it clearly.
"Reply, my lord, my name is Sun Erya, and I have something to tell you."
Lin Mengya smiled and asked, "Okay, Miss Sun Erya, just say what you want to say, don't be afraid."
The girl still didn't dare to raise her head, but at least her voice was a little louder than before.
"My brother is sick. Fortunately, we received the job you assigned us so that we can afford to treat my brother's illness. So our whole family is very grateful to you and we don't dare to have any bad thoughts."
"Both my father and mother told me that this batch of goods is the life of our family, so they are usually placed in the room where my father works, and I will sleep there every night to watch over them."
"But last night, a distant relative of my father came over to have a drink with my father. He heard that my father had taken on a big job, so he insisted on going to have a look. My father always remembers your instructions and does not dare to let strangers come near.
."
"Originally, I thought all these things were over, but when I came to deliver the goods today, I discovered that the lanterns delivered this time were much heavier than before."
Although the little girl was nagging, she did not forget the key points at all.
Lin Mengya didn't feel anything was wrong at first, but later, her eyes gradually sobered up.
"Heavy? How do you know it's heavier than before?"
The little girl was so frightened that her voice trembled and her head hung lower.
If Lin Mengya and the others hadn't been kneeling here and there when they were not in a mood, this little girl would have already knelt in front of her and trembled.

"I, I am responsible for guarding those things, so every night before going to bed, I will pick them up and weigh them with my hands, for fear that you will break them or lose something."
It turned out to be so, but Lin Mengya continued to ask her.
"Then maybe it's because your dad used more accessories? Or there's more paste, which is common."
But Sun Erya insisted: "My father's making lanterns is a family tradition. And the materials you brought are all the best. My father always calculated and calculated every time he used them, even if he had to do something."
The waste will be collected.”
"The paste my dad used was different from other people's. He made it himself every time, so it only needed a thin layer to stick, even if there was a strong wind."
"My father made all the lanterns last night and put them in the room to dry. I felt heavy when I started to use them today, but I was afraid that you would be anxious, so I hurriedly sent them to you."
In fact, there is another thing she didn't say, that is, if she told her father, her father might not believe her.
In her father's opinion, she is just a girl who doesn't understand her craft at all.
But she has been watching her father make these lanterns since she could walk, and she is already familiar with all the steps.
Although her father did not teach her any craftsmanship, some things were engraved in her bones and she could never mistake them!
Lin Mengya became interested for a moment, stood up, and said, "Then let's go and see together. Why did it sink so much?"
Sun Erya raised his head to look at her with some surprise, only to see a gentle smiling face.
She suddenly became excited.
Because no one has ever believed her like this!
"Can I go with you?"
"Let's go!"
Lin Mengya nodded and led others to the warehouse.
The inside was restored to its previous tidiness. After delivering the lanterns, the women left.
Lin Mengya opened the door, and the inside was filled with the smell of spices.
This is also the special thing about the lantern parade. Many of the materials used in the lantern parade have been processed by her in advance.
When the candles in the lantern are lit, the rising temperature will cause the smell in the material to diffuse out.
When the time comes, the fragrance will overflow and the beauty will be overwhelming, making people feel as if they are above the nine heavens, watching the flying sky dance.
But this also obscures some of the already subtle flavors.
After opening the door, Sun Erya took two quick steps and found the two big lanterns sent by her family in front of everyone.
