Han Zhongyu, who had always been light-hearted, was at a loss when he saw Xie Yushu giving him a red envelope.
"I-do I still have a red envelope?"
"Of course, it's the Chinese New Year! For good luck! Hold it in your shoulder bag!"
"Oh, oh, thank you!"
Han Zhongyu hadn't received a red envelope for many years. He was about seven years old and had never received a red envelope since he moved to the outer courtyard. This year, he suddenly received a big red envelope. He felt a little weird. The feeling was indescribable, so he just took it carefully. I stuffed the red envelope into my sleeve pocket and patted it to make sure I wouldn't lose it!
Xiao Haitang couldn't wait to open the red envelope and shouted with joy
"I have silver peanuts and copper coins!"
Chu Jinyu also followed closely behind
"Mine are silver bamboo knots and copper coins!"
Xie Yushu said
"You keep the silver peanuts and bamboo knots in the small treasury, and you can use the copper coins to buy snacks on the street!"
"Yeah! Great!"
With the two little guys taking the lead, Han Zhongyu also had the urge to take out the red envelope to see what was inside, but thinking that he was a third-rank governor, such behavior was too childish, so he suppressed the urge to open the red envelope on the spot and pretended not to care. Look!
Xie Yushu didn't notice his series of micro-expressions, but said to others
"On this first day of the Lunar New Year, it is the custom to go to the temple to offer incense and worship Buddha. Everyone can go where they like, but don't do it alone. It's best to go together and come back together.
Okay, everyone can leave! Go ahead and do whatever you love! "
"Thank you, owner!"
Everyone received the red envelope, thanked them, and then dispersed, chattering about what they were going to do!
The red envelope given by Xie Yushu to workers on duty was at least six hundred and sixty-six copper coins, a lucky draw.
An ordinary guard is worth eight hundred and eighty-eight copper coins, and a captain is worth one tael of silver.
The people led by Nanxing Zhao Hu and others have seen life and death with her, and they performed very well. Nanxing Zhao Hu received five taels of red envelopes each, and each of the team members received three taels.
Zhou Shuo, Zheng Dacheng, and Sun Chongren each had five taels of silver, and their family members each paid five hundred copper coins.
The Sun family came last and worked for seven or eight days in total, so they gave each of them three taels of silver.
Qu Xiaodie was the manager of the villa, and she alone gave her twenty taels of silver, while Aunt Su and Wang Wu each gave her fifty taels.
A child who had no job and was running around in the mountains had to pack two hundred copper coins each.
Although the villa did not make much profit this year, these people built the villa to a large scale and worked hard. The big red envelope on the first day of the new year is a reward for them!
After a while, more than one hundred taels of silver were handed out. Aunt Su felt distressed and complained that Xie Yushu's hands were too loose!
However, Xie Yushu felt that everyone had been working hard for two or three years since coming here. No matter what kind of work they did, they had to work hard, and the difference could not be less than a few dozen taels of silver. This chilled everyone's hearts. Only with money in hand can hope be seen in their eyes. , to put it bluntly, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it.
Only when you hold real benefits in your hands can you live your life with success.
But in fact, as Xie Yushu said, when everyone went back and saw the silver or copper coins in the red envelope, they were all happy and excited. They thought that the villa would make almost no money this year, so it would be nice if Xie Yushu could give them one or two hundred copper coins. , the results exceeded their expectations by two or three times!
Everyone was very excited and secretly swore that they would serve well here. There would never be such a good master again!
Xie Yushu's operation made the group following Han Zhongyu envious!
"Hey! Look at the same slave!"
"Same people have different fates!"
Han Zhongyu seemed to have noticed something. He glanced over and everyone stood at attention, not squinting. (Speaking of which, although we don’t have red envelopes, the New Year’s benefits are actually pretty good!)
In fact, Han Zhongyu was embarrassed after realizing it. He was only thinking about celebrating the New Year with her and forgot to send out red envelopes. It was also because he had never sent out red envelopes in so many years, so he accepted Xie Yushu's red envelope. When I realized that I didn't return the gift, I was so embarrassed that sweat started to form on my forehead!
Seeing that Xie Yushu had finished her work, she spoke uncomfortably.
"I, I didn't prepare a red envelope, but I did prepare a New Year's gift for you. Today I'm afraid I have to receive the officials below. Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, I'll come and give you a New Year's gift!"
Xie Yushu said hehehe
"It doesn't matter. I'm not short of the red envelope. (I'm short of a lot of money!) You can do whatever you want! Anyway, I'm free before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
"Okay, then I'll go back first!"
After Han Zhongyu finished speaking, he left with his guards.
Qu Xiaodie and Nan Xing both want to go to the temple to worship Buddha and have some fun.
Of course Xiao Haitang and Chu Jinyu also wanted to go.
Xie Yushu thought that it was rare to have such a free time, so she agreed to go with them.
They went to Heshun Temple, the largest temple in Tai'an Prefecture.
On the first day of the new year, many people come to burn incense. From the entrance to the temple, there are sellers of incense, candy, fortune tellers, lottery sellers, various mascots, children's toys and so on. It is very lively.
Nanxing and Qu Xiaodie each bought a Buddhist bead bracelet, and they didn't forget to bring one to Xie Yushu as well.
Xiao Haitang and Chu Jinyu bought some food and fun.
Xie Yushu has no interest in any of this. She didn't believe in anything before, but now, such bizarre things as time travel can happen to her. She feels that she should go to Zhuxiang and ask the original owner to have one too. It's a good place. After all, through his own efforts, his life here is getting smoother and smoother!
She hoped that the original owner could be safe and happy in a place where she could not see him.
There was nothing else she could ask for, she just tried her best and whatever the result was, just let it happen!
After playing for a long time, everyone except Xie Yushu returned home with a full load.
It's not that Xie Yushu has no desires or desires, it's that she wants more than these small things. Thinking that the glass is officially on sale, she has to transport goods out of the country, and she also has to guard against someone coming to cut off her hair. She feels that she needs to add a group of people. Train your hands first.
Moreover, the defense of the villa was a bit weak after all. It would be okay if there were only three or five thieves, but if the business started and a group of robbers were attracted, her few hands would be like meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
Therefore, we must also improve our weapons.
After much thought, Xie Yushu planned to draw Lian Nu and give it to Zheng Dacheng to build a batch.
Just do whatever you want. Xie Yushu came back from the temple fair and didn't leave the house for two consecutive days. Based on her own memory, she drew the improved Fifty Lost Liannu. This kind of crossbow was more powerful than the original Zhuge Liannu. More suitable for defending the city.
I have finished drawing the repeating crossbow and the drawings of the sleeve arrows. When the time comes, I will equip the secret guards like Zhao Hu and Nan Xing with double insurance.
The sleeve arrow is a single shot, and its power is not small. If it hits a human body within thirty meters, it will have the same effect as an arrow. Moreover, each Xiujian quiver can hold thirty small arrows, which is equivalent to carrying thirty hidden weapons. When in danger, even if you are defeated, you still have a chance to retreat.
