Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

Before today, Gu Yanshu never knew that he was such a person who was easily satisfied.

Just half a dumpling can make him feel like a treasure, so much so that one or two hours after dinner, as long as he thinks of that half dumpling, the corners of his lips can't help but start to rise.

Of course, apart from Gu Yanshu, the servants in Prince Li's mansion are also in a happy mood at this time.

After all, they received a big red envelope from the princess not long ago.

Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu usually don't let people serve them very much. Tonight is New Year's Eve. After dinner, after giving out the red envelopes, Gu Yanshu directly gave everyone a short vacation to let them have a good night's rest.

And the servants who received the red envelopes are gathering in twos and threes to exchange ideas:

"How much did you get?"

"It's a whole three taels of silver! What about you?"

"Me too! When I first saw it, I thought I took it by mistake! I was taken aback, hehe."

"Hey! Hearing what you said, you have only come to the palace for a short time, right?"

"It's true that I haven't been here for a long time. Last month, Steward Xing said that there was a shortage of people in the mansion, so he transferred me here. How did you find out?"

"It's only three taels of silver, so I thought it was a mistake. What else can it be if it's not a newcomer?"

"That's right! Do you know how much Team Leader Qian received today? It's five taels of silver!"

"Hey! What is Team Leader Qian? Director Wang's is a whole lot!"

"Li Wang's mansion is so generous in giving red envelopes? Last year, I also had a fellow from my hometown who was an errand in Li Wang's mansion. How come I never heard him mention it?"

"Of course I didn't have it last year. This is the treatment only available after the princess entered the mansion. You boy, luck is much better than your fellow countryman!"

"After the princess enters the mansion?"

As soon as Gu Yanshu was mentioned, the servants in Prince Li's mansion seemed to be opened up.

When you glanced at me, I began to talk about the various benefits of Gu Yanshu with the newcomer:

"Yes, you don't know, the princess is so generous! Since the princess entered the mansion, our monthly ratio has doubled compared to before!"

"This is more than that! You have been in the mansion for a month, you should know the rules of our palace, right? This is not found in other places! This is also after the princess entered the mansion, there are more rules!"

"exactly!

In addition, the salary is doubled during festivals and birthdays, which is also a rule set by the princess! "

"It's more than that! Didn't you make a suggestion half a month ago, and then it was adopted by the supervisor, and the supervisor gave you [-] copper coins at that time, do you remember?"

"Is this also the rule set by the princess?"

"It's the rules set by the princess!"

"I thought it was the original rules of the palace..."

"My lord didn't even go back to the palace much before, so how could he bother to make these rules?"

"Then the princess is so generous to us, won't the prince have any objection?"

"Can I have any opinions? The prince can say it. All matters in the backyard of the palace are up to the princess!"

"Besides, who doesn't know now that the most profitable shops in Beijing are all owned by our princess?"

"Let's not talk about Guiyuanju and Yaoyue Pavilion, shall we? Look at Taoranju, glass is a rare thing that has a price but no market! The princess is so capable, the prince is too happy!"

"Besides, you don't think that the red envelopes given by the princess are so generous every time, do you?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not! Today is New Year's Eve, it only happens once a year!"

"And the supervisor also said just now that this money is not only the red envelope given to us by the princess, but also our year-end bonus!"

"Year-end bonus? What is this?"

"It probably means that the princess feels that we have worked hard for the palace this year, and this is an extra subsidy for us!"

"The meaning of the words is that every new year in the future, we can get this year-end bonus?"

"I don't know that, but the supervisor did say so!"

"Then I hope I can always work in Prince Li's mansion in the future!"

"Who doesn't want to? Speaking of which, you know the team leader of the third team who works in the kitchen?"

"You mean the one with inconvenient legs, right? Why don't you know? It is said that he went to the battlefield with the prince, and his leg broke at that time!"

"Then you must know that his family originally proposed a daughter-in-law for him, but because of his broken leg, they refused?"

"I've heard vaguely about this, saying that his wife's family thinks that he won't be able to make money after his leg is broken, and they are unwilling to marry their daughter to him."

"Then do you know that he is engaged again?

It is said that the work will be done after the first month! "

"I've never heard of this! Can you explain it carefully?"

"This has to start with the rules set by the concubine after she entered the mansion! Aren't those in our palace who have gone to the battlefield with the prince and ended up with problems being promoted by the concubine to be group leaders?

You must know that the monthly duty of this group leader is twice as much as ours!Coupled with the extra bonuses given during the holidays..."

"Hiss... It makes sense to say that, the salaries of the group leaders in our palace are the first in the capital!"

"Isn't that right? The more wages you get, the more smooth the marriage will be. I heard that the group leader's former fiancée's family found out about his current monthly salary, and they regretted it so much!"

"I would regret changing it to me too! Let alone the team leader, even if our team members save a little at ordinary times, if they save for two years, it will be enough to be called a daughter-in-law!"

"That's right! We still have to thank our princess for all of this!"

"Isn't that right? Now that the sky is full, who else is more generous than our concubine?"

……

There are many rules in Prince Li's mansion, especially after Gu Yanshu entered the mansion, the rules in all aspects are even more comprehensive.

If it were placed in an ordinary time, these servants would never dare to discuss such a topic.

After all, no matter whether they are saying good things about Gu Yanshu or not, talking about the master in private like now is a taboo.

But today is something special.

On New Year's Eve, I just got such a big red envelope, and it is human nature to be unable to restrain the joy in my heart.

Not only them, other people more or less said the same thing, even the hidden guards in the palace couldn't help it.

Since they are secret guards, when they choose this path, they are already dead in the eyes of outsiders.

Few people care about their inner thoughts any more.

Not to mention other people, even they themselves think so in their hearts.

It is conceivable how they felt when they received the red envelopes and dumplings sent by Gu Yanshu today.

There are too many people talking about it, so naturally they can't escape the ears of Zhi Ge and Xing Ren.

"what are you doing?"

Seeing Zhige getting up with a frown, Xingren didn't even want to stop him directly.

Zhi Ge glanced at Xing Ren:

"Didn't you hear what they were talking about?"

"since

However, I heard that my martial arts are no worse than yours. "

At the beginning, the reason why the prince chose to let him stay in the mansion to take care of the housework was because he was more thoughtful than Zhige.

"Since you heard it, why are you asking me?"

Of course, it is to beat those people. Are the prince and princess something they can talk about?

"Look at you, isn't this boring?"

Xingren shook his head and smiled, then stretched out his hand and pushed Zhige back on the seat:

"They didn't say anything bad about the princess. Besides, it's Chinese New Year, and the princess has given the people below a holiday. Don't spoil the fun."

"But..." Zhi Ge frowned slightly, as if he didn't quite agree with Xing Ren's words.

"But what?"

Xingren didn't even let Zhige finish his sentence, so he interrupted it directly:

"It's the two of us who occasionally exchange a few words about the prince, it's human nature."

"Can we be the same? We are..."

Zhi Ge still wanted to refute, but Xing Ren didn't give him this chance at all, and continued:

"Besides, the princess also said that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Sometimes, don't stick to the rules too much!"

Hearing this sentence, Zhi Ge really had nothing to say.

Seeing that Gu Yanshu has made so many rules, others may think that Gu Yanshu is a person who attaches great importance to rules.

At first Xing Ren and Zhi Ge also felt the same way.

But as they got along more and more, the two discovered that this was not the case at all.

Sometimes, their concubines are indeed very strict with the rules, Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao.

But sometimes, even if the people under their hands violated the rules, their princess would choose to turn a blind eye.

At that time, Xingren also raised doubts about this.

Said that since the rules have been set, why do you pretend that you haven't seen them?

At that time, Gu Yanshu's answer was that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Rules are dead, but people are alive.

If everything in the world can be stuck with the word "rule", then there will be no human emotions.

For example, after the work in hand is completed, there is no need to be too concerned about such things as taking a short break during working hours because of being too tired.

At that time Xingren knew about it.

Their princess, she seems to be more stern and selfless than anyone else, but in fact she is softer than anyone else.

In contrast, it is Zhi Ge who often follows the prince and goes in and out of the three armies.

Can't knead a little sand.

Seeing that Zhige's brows were still slightly raised inward, Xingren persuaded him again:

"Don't think about it, if you think you can't see it, it's the same if you knock it tomorrow."

Coincidentally at this time, there was another piercing sound from outside the courtyard wall:

"call out--"

Hearing this voice, Xingren raised his head and looked into the sky:

"Let's watch the fireworks first."

"boom--"

As soon as Xingren finished speaking, a gorgeous spark bloomed in the night sky, which was extraordinarily gorgeous and eye-catching in the dark night.

Although this gorgeous firework was only fleeting, but with the disappearance of the first firework, the sound of breaking the air outside the courtyard wall suddenly sounded one after another.

There were more and more flames entering the sky, and then, one after another, fireworks bloomed, covering the entire night sky immediately.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhige finally accepted Xingren's suggestion:

Since the concubine has already had a holiday on New Year's Eve, let them be happy for one night first. As for the beating, let it be tomorrow.

At the same time, Gu Yanshu also saw this huge fireworks show.

Seeing Gu Yanshu looking at the night sky with a smile on his eyes, Qin Lu also looked up to the sky:

"Does the princess like this?"

"Ah."

Gu Yanshu nodded slightly, although compared with the colorful fireworks shows of later generations, the fireworks blooming in the night sky at this time are much simpler.

But in Gu Yanshu's eyes, it was still pretty.

Maybe it's because the person watching the fireworks with him is different now?

Qin Lu didn't know what Gu Yanshu was thinking, after a moment of silence, he spoke softly:

"Today's fireworks are actually not the best."

"Huh? Is there anything better than this?"

Gu Yanshu turned his head to look at Qin Lu.

"At the time of the Lantern Festival, the imperial court will set off specially made fireworks in Beijing, which will cover the entire night sky of Kyoto."

Qin Lu nodded slightly, and after he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then continued:

"In the Zhaixing Building, you can see the entire fireworks show. If the princess likes it, she can go to watch it then."

Gu Yanshu always felt that Qin Lu was slightly nervous when he said this sentence.

At first, he thought it was his own illusion, but just at this moment, there was another round of fireworks blooming in the night sky. With the light of the fire, Gu Yanshu clearly saw Qin Lu's slightly red ears.

At this time, Gu Yanshu just

Suddenly reacted:

The Lantern Festival is also known as Valentine's Day. This is a tradition that has existed in China since ancient times, and it is also said in Tianqi.

During the Lantern Festival, Tianqi will hold a Lantern Festival, and it will be rare for Beijing and China to lift the curfew.

Not only that, many daughters who live in the boudoir will also be rarely allowed to go to the street to participate in the Lantern Festival on this day.Because of this, on the day of Lantern Festival, there will be many lovers who fall in love with each other at a glance.

If you are a couple, participating in the Lantern Festival together will also be considered as loving couple.

Even the Zhaixing Tower mentioned by Qin Lu just now is also known as the Land of the Old Moon.

According to legend, if two people can watch the fireworks of the Lantern Festival together in the Zhaixing Tower, they will be blessed by Yuelao, love each other for a lifetime, and grow old together.

So what Qin Lu wants to say is probably not to ask him to go to the Star Picking Tower to watch the Lantern Festival fireworks.

This person is still as sullen as ever.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanshu couldn't help laughing a little, and finally, under Qin Lu's slightly anxious and apprehensive eyes, he slowly opened his mouth:

"It's too boring to go alone. I don't know if the prince is willing to accompany me to see it?"

Gu Yanshu could obviously feel that Qin Lu's face immediately relaxed a lot after his words fell.

Afterwards, Qin Lu's lips were rarely bent upwards:

"Is there any reason why the king should not invite the princess? I am willing."
