The lights were still on in the maid's room next to my mother's room. I walked in quietly. When the maids saw that it was me, they quickly came over to salute.
"You all go out first, I want to talk to your sister Hongyu about something." The maids all left.
"Hongyu has met Miss." Hongyu bent down and saluted.
"Sit down." Hongyu didn't dare to sit down, and I didn't force her. She kept nagging to herself, "I know that you have served my mother for so many years, and you have worked hard without any merit. If she doesn't tell her, I
I also know that she can't bear to leave you. She is old and used to you serving her. It's always a bit uncomfortable if she switches to other maids."
"Although you made a mistake this time, fortunately, it did not cause any irreversible consequences. After the New Year and the wedding, there will be fewer people in the family. Then I will send someone to take you back.
"Hongyu looked at me in disbelief.
"Of course, if you have a sweetheart and get married by then, forget it."
"Hongyu is willing to serve the old lady and never marry for the rest of her life!"
"Silly girl, don't swear so easily! When the third person you are destined to show up appears, I'm afraid you will be in a hurry to marry."
Hongyu blushed with embarrassment, and her shy look was really pretty.
"This is for you." I took out two gold pieces from my pocket and stuffed them into Hong Yu's arms.
Hongyu looked at me blankly, not daring to answer.
"Just think of me as thanking you for serving your mother with all your heart and soul for so many years. When you get married in the future, use it to buy a decent dowry for yourself, and don't blame this beautiful face. After all, it comes from the Prime Minister's Palace.
Girl, don’t let others laugh at you.”
"Miss..." Hongyu looked at me with tears in her eyes, so moved that she didn't know what to say.
"Okay, go to bed early. When you go to the accounting office tomorrow to collect the money, tell the lady that you want to go back to your hometown. Don't say anything else, so as to save them from talking nonsense."
"Yes, miss." The miss was so considerate, and Hong Yu was even moved to tears.
Hey, it’s rare to be a good person once, and it seems like it feels good to be a good person!
"Congratulations on getting rich! Bring me the red envelope!" I stretched out my hand, and Chu Fengyang obediently handed over a red envelope. When I opened it, I saw a banknote worth ten thousand taels, which is not stingy.
"Congratulations on getting rich! Bring me the red envelope!" The thief stretched out his hand in front of his parents.
"Okay, okay! Give it! This kid is really good!" My mother said with a smile and handed me two red envelopes. When I opened them, I saw they were two hundred taels each. It was a little less, but it was not bad. After all, my father was
Unlike Chu Fengyang, the palace was so luxurious and he could easily spend ten thousand taels on it. It is unknown how much money he embezzled.
"Congratulations on getting rich! Bring me the red envelope!"
"Here!" The elder brother handed me two red envelopes. When I opened them, I saw they were fifty taels each.
"It's only fifty taels. Brother, are you mistaken? You are so stingy. Why don't you give me a hundred taels? People like Feng can easily give away ten thousand taels. You can't even get a fraction of Feng's."
…”
"How can I compare with the prince? He is the prince, and he runs banks and brothels across the country, making him the richest man in the world. I am just a captain of the guard, how much money can I have?"
"Isn't your salary quite high?"
"Little sister, you have to speak with your conscience! Before you married Ling'er, as soon as your monthly salary came out, you spent it all before you even put it in your pocket. Brother, I didn't see a penny from it.
With..."
Ling'er glanced over with vicious eyes, "I have such a rich prince, and yet he defrauded my husband of his pitiful salary? What kind of little girl are you!"
I shrank down feeling guilty and muttered: "Where is it? I only get one or two hundred taels from you every month."
"My husband's monthly salary is only one or two hundred taels..."
"Hey, Mei, you're here." In order to avoid being poisoned by Ling'er's fierce eyes, I quickly retreated to the safety line, "Congratulations on getting rich, bring me the red envelope!"
He extended his hand unceremoniously.
Mei hesitated for a moment, then slowly took out a red envelope from her arms.
"Give it to me! Even if you only give me a sling of money, I won't laugh at you." I couldn't wait to open the red envelope. If you really only gave me a sling of money, I would... I would put it away and use it to buy candied haws.
, last time I bought two bunches of candied haws, it only cost ten cents, but I searched all over my body and found the smallest piece of one tael of silver. The seller of candied haws had no money, so I gave him the one tael of silver. He was so happy that he picked up the candied haws.
He ran away with just one tael of silver just because he was afraid that I would regret it. That was his usual income for several days!
I don’t have much idea about money, but I know that my two skewers of candied haws on a stick cost at least 100 yuan, which is heartbreaking! The candied haws on a stick in Changsha only costs one or two yuan per skewer!
As soon as I saw the face value of the bank note, my eyes widened. I was stunned for a moment and shouted at Mei, "It turns out there is a reason why you refused to give me the red envelope..."
"I didn't refuse..."
"Mei, where did you get so much money, ten thousand taels? Tell me honestly, have you done anything outrageous? Did you go rob someone's house in the middle of the night? No wonder I haven't seen you much these past few nights.
, it turns out you really did bad things for my red envelope..."
"I don't……"
"Charming, aren't you setting me up for injustice? I won't feel at ease if I accept the money you got like this..." He shouted, but his subordinates stuffed the banknotes into their pockets without hesitation.
"I didn't do the bad things you think!"
"You didn't? You didn't do anything bad? Then where did the money come from?"
"This is my savings!"
"Savings?" Yes, the profession of killer seems to be quite profitable!
"Then why were you so hesitant in the beginning? Oh! I see! You must be reluctant to let go! If you can't let go, why don't you imitate other people's arrogance? Now that you gave me the money, you still feel distressed. Why are you so imitating me?
"
"Xiao Nuo, I..."
"I'm telling you, you've already given me the money. Don't even think about taking it back. Otherwise, I'll fight you tooth and nail!" I tightly guarded the banknotes in my pocket and glared at Mei.
"Xiao Nuo, the reason I hesitate is because I'm afraid it's too little and you won't like it..."
"Then do you still have it?"
"Yes, I have!"
"There are many?"
"Forty to fifty thousand taels, maybe!"
The beautiful light of countless silver flashed in front of my eyes, "Mei, I know you have no concept of financial management. Although I am also very busy, but as a friend, I am still willing to help. If you are really, really
There is so much money that there is no place to put it, so I will... I will kindly help you keep it, and I will tell you, I will keep it for you for free, and I will not charge you any interest..."
“I don’t have so much money that I have nowhere to put it!”
"Ah?" I rolled my eyes, "I mean... that... that..."
"But if Xiao Nuo wants it, I'll give it all to you!"
