Kuaichuan loves you for a lifetime

Chunjing replied, "Three taels of silver per month."

Li Yuanying was taken aback: "Why are there so few?"

Chunjing was a little dissatisfied with Li Yuanying's tone, and quickly explained: "Miss, this is not too little. In our mansion, those third-class servants only have two or three hundred yuan a month, but now one or two silver can be exchanged." As for a thousand dollars, Si Xiu has only been in the mansion for two or three years, if he hadn't become Master Wang's apprentice and was favored by the masters of the mansion, he wouldn't have gotten so much."

Li Yuanying didn't care about this at ordinary times, she even felt that the monthly money of Si Xiu was small after hearing it. Hearing that some people only had two or three hundred cash per month, she couldn't understand what she could do with such a small amount of money.

But from what Chunjing said just now, Li Yuanying could also hear that this is a very normal thing in the eyes of others, so she didn't say anything, but raised Si Xiu's monthly money: "Let's not talk about it for now. Others, Si Xiu usually does a lot of work, and his mind is also clever, such a small amount of money is indeed too little, let me explain, from now on, Si Xiu will spend five taels of silver a month, so that outsiders won't poach this master away."

The others also heard that Li Yuanying's words were a joke, so they laughed a little bit, envious of Si Xiu's salary increase in their hearts.

Chunjing's impression of Si Xiu was not bad at all, because Si Xiu indirectly let Li Yuanying show off his face today, he accepted the matter of giving him a monthly increase well, and said to Li Yuanying: "Young lady is still generous. A few days is the day when the monthly money will be distributed by the government, and the five taels of silver..." Will the distribution start this month or next month?

Chunjing didn't finish the sentence, but it didn't affect Li Yuanying's understanding. Li Yuanying said: "It's just five taels of silver, just give it to him from this month."

Chunjing first thanked Li Yuanying for Si Xiu, how could Si Xiu be her subordinate now, and said that she would announce the good news to Si Xiu in person in a while, so that he could come over to thank Li Yuanying, and she would work harder for Li Yuanying in the future.

This time, Si Xiu came to see Li Yuanying again under the leadership of Chun Jing because of the salary increase. He didn't expect to hear "Master Si" in front of him. Come on, Si Xiu also knew what was going on.

However, Si Xiu still knew how he should behave. Relying on his young age, he immediately turned red-faced, and said in a faltering way: "Miss joked, it's just that other people don't know the inside story, and how can they just joke in front of the lady?" Canada?"

Li Yuanying saw that Si Xiu had a thin skin and blushed like something, so he asked him to back down and didn't continue to make fun of him.

However, because of this incident, Si Xiu has really made a name for Li Yuanying. It turns out that Li Yuanying's attitude towards Si Xiu is just a cook. He is passable, he is still able to read and write, and he has a good relationship with his younger brother Li Jingxing.

Li Yuanying finally knew why Li Jingxing came to his yard so diligently now, and labeled Si Xiu as a half-student in his heart, so he couldn't help relying on him a little more. This attitude was seen by others, not to mention how envious he was of Si Xiu up.

However, this relaxed time did not last long.

During the festival this year, because I knew that Li Yuanying and Ji would have to marry into the royal family after the next year, it would be extremely difficult to go home once in the future. This is Li Yuanying’s last New Year’s Eve reunion with all the family members, so everyone tried their best to raise their spirits , It can also let others see that they are not in a high mood.

The masters are not happy, how dare the servants in the mansion talk and laugh at will?
Therefore, although there is no shortage of red lanterns, fireworks, opera juggling, delicacies from mountains and seas in the Duke Huguo's mansion, there are so many people in the mansion, it is hard to feel the excitement.

Although Li Yuanying's real big day is still more than half a year away, everyone can see their reluctance for Li Yuanying from their expressions.

Even Li Sui, the always serious protector of the country, used his sleeves to cover his red eyes by drinking, let alone others.

It’s just that it’s not advisable to let out mournful voices during the Chinese New Year. It’s unlucky to really cry. These people must endure their sorrow and put on a happy look.

Under the influence of such an atmosphere, Li Yuanying, who had just regained her lively nature these days, couldn't help but calm down. Although no one said it clearly, she knew in her heart what all this was for.

Thinking about next year today, she will not be able to celebrate the New Year with the family who has always loved her, and there will be another person who is not familiar with her, and this kind of life may continue for the rest of her life, Li Yuanying feels very sad Yes, in addition to reluctance, there are also some fears about the unknown future.

The New Year's Eve process went down item by item according to the previous arrangement. During this period, all the people in Duke Huguo's Mansion went out to visit relatives and friends as usual, but when they returned home, their smiling faces couldn't hold back.

It's just the passage of time that doesn't change with human emotions. Everyone in the Duke Protector's mansion felt that the days passed by without doing anything during this festival.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor Zheng Chengyun in the palace also began to write, and all the officials in the court began to work, and they returned to their posts to start working. Those with higher official positions, such as Li Sui, the protector of the country, also started again. Get up early every morning and go to court.

Only this time, after Li Sui went to court, the door of Duke Huguo's mansion opened wide. It turned out that an angel in the palace was about to descend on the mansion. After the old lady got the letter, she hurriedly sent people to each courtyard to inform all the family members, and hurriedly Let's set up the incense table below.

Fortunately, the Duke Huguo's mansion is quite proficient in this business. After a while, the masters of the mansion at home gathered in the courtyard with the servants around them, headed by the old lady, who were dressed in court clothes.

After a while, the angel also brought the Empress Dowager Chen in the palace, who was also Zheng Chengyun's birth mother. Once Concubine Chen's imperial decree arrived, all the people in the house knelt down to the ground in an orderly manner according to the rules, and the eunuch who came to deliver the decree came Unfolding the edict in his hand, he recited the empress dowager's edict aloud.

First, she praised Li Yuanying, the daughter of the protector of the country. Words such as Xiuwaihuizhong, Zhishu Dali, Wenliangxianshu came out together, which made Li Yuanying feel a little blush, but the important words are still behind.

Li Yuanying is about to enter the central palace as a queen. In order for her to adapt as soon as possible after entering the palace so that she can take over as soon as possible, the rules in the palace should also be learned. The empress dowager also thoughtfully pointed to the two nuns beside her. , specially entered the government to teach various etiquettes in Li Yuanying's palace, and hoped that Li Yuanying would study them seriously and learn them as soon as possible.

Regarding this matter, everyone in Duke Huguo's Mansion was very calm.

They have inquired before that no matter who they are, they must go through relevant training before entering the palace. The reason is very simple. Generally, each family has its own rules. No matter where a woman marries, she must obey the rules there. Playing by the rules, let alone the royal family with the most rules in the world?

Some people say that the royal family is the place with the most rules in the world, and it is also the place with the least rules in the world. Although there is some truth to this statement, it does not mean that people in the harem can be punished in terms of behavior when facing outsiders. People criticize and affect outsiders' impression of the royal family.

The empress is the mother of the world. In daily life, regardless of the big things and small things around her, there are countless eyes watching from the front of the harem. Therefore, you must be strict with yourself, start with small things, and gradually establish your own prestige .
