Chapter Ten Grace

During lunch break, Huilan was lying on the bed with her eyes wide open.

Once, her biggest dream was to have a car, a house, money and leisure.

It's only been a few days, and everything has been realized in this morning?

Huilan bit her nails and felt like she was in the ninth heaven. It was too fantasy, wasn't it?

She rolled around on the bed and didn't know when she would fall asleep.

When she woke up, Huilan was stunned for a few seconds, and then she sat up like a carp.

The normal reaction to getting rich overnight is like Fan Jin's winning the imperial examination. Didn't she act like a fool before?

Forget it, calm down, money is an external thing.

This is not like modern times. If you really win a big prize, you can collect the prize, pay taxes and deposit it in the bank without fear of being stolen or robbed. After that, you can buy a house, a car and travel around the world. This is the winner in life!

It's a pity that this is an ancient feudal society, and even a thousand acres of fertile land cannot support a single person who confiscates the family and exterminates the entire family.

The medical conditions in ancient times were not good. If she had a disease or a disaster and she was gone, that much money would belong to others.

So although she has a lot of money now, whether it really belongs to her depends on many factors.

What she should do is to ensure that she grows up healthily and lives a long life. She should keep a low profile in everything and don't offend or harm others casually.

The reason why an ancient tree can survive for thousands of years is not only because it works hard to grow, but also because it is useless and harmless!

Huilan brainstormed until the end and finally calmed down. She decided that her life goal from now on would be that old tree. Her life goal: to live hard, to be harmless to humans and animals, and to be worthless...

With her hands clasped in fists, Hui Lan encouraged herself.

The next day was February 7th, and my aunt's family came early. After paying tribute, my uncle and two cousins ​​went back.

Her aunt stayed and talked with her, making sure she was in good health and eating well. They had lunch together before leaving and going home.

In the afternoon, Huilan invited the four chief stewards Li, Zhou, Wang, and Liu to speak, and they agreed to start work tomorrow.

Then Huilan said one more thing, "After listening to my aunt's reminder, I have an idea here. You can give me some advice to see if it can be implemented."

"Girl, please speak." Butler Li spoke on behalf of the family.

Huilan smiled cutely, "That's right, there are a lot of manpower needed to pack things, and the servants at home are barely enough. But they have to work more than before, and it's still heavy work. Why not give them double months in February, March and April?"

Money, don't let their hard work go in vain." None of them had any objections and kept echoing.

Huilan continued: "Besides, we are afraid that we will have to move after our father's funeral. We can't move just in time for the Qingming Festival. It would be too hasty. Your Majesty has been kind enough to give us a house with two entrances for ten people to live in."

A few people are enough. But our family is a bit large, and I'm afraid we won't be able to live in it. Moreover, after I was born, my aunt took me to the Zhenguo Palace. There may not be many opportunities to live in the imperial-given house.

"After speaking, he took a sip of honey water to moisten his throat.

She spends a lot more time using her voice here than before, so she needs to drink more water!

Several people looked at each other, and Butler Li took the lead, "What do you mean, girl?"

Huilan put down the cup, "I think, while there is still some time, it's better to ask the stewards everywhere to ask. If anyone wants to go out, we will give them a bond to let them go free."

Then she added: "Not only do those who want to go out not have to pay for their lives, but they are also allowed to take away the things they have saved in our house, and we will also give them two months' monthly payment. This will also accumulate blessings for my father, so that they will not have to worry about anything in the future.

Just report it."

"The girl was thoughtful and asked the stewards to tell the people below that in order to bring blessings to the master, he would let a group of people out after the funeral. The girl was compassionate and did not want to ransom the body for money, but also allowed them to take away the things they had saved in the house.

In addition, we will reward them with two months' monthly payment to help them settle down. If they want to leave, I will let them do so once they are sent away smoothly." Butler Li added.

Blinking his eyes, Uncle Li was still able to talk. In the name of accumulating blessings, he asked those who were leaving to express their gratitude to their father and daughter. He also mentioned that it would be done after sending off his father smoothly, just to remind them that they must work hard before the funeral.

Have a bright future.

It would be more honorable for her to just say that the family is in ruins and doesn't need too many servants, but to let a group of people go out.

Well, I learned it again, Hui Lan wrote it down in her mind.

"Just spread the message as Uncle Li said. It will be spread to all the houses in Zhuangzi. Don't miss anyone. In addition, those who don't leave will also be rewarded with two months of monthly payment. Our family will not treat them differently. But no matter who it is

, Those who want to stay must go, and the errand in hand cannot go wrong. If you miss my father's important event, not only will you not be rewarded, but you will also be punished." Huilan emphasized with a small face.

"Yes." All four people stood up and bowed in response.

After a busy morning, seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Huilan asked them all to go back to eat, except Mrs. Wang who stayed a little longer.

The two of them and the three maids chatted about the home cooking, and then the food was delivered from the kitchen. Huilan asked Mother Wang to take Liu Ya back to eat, but Mother Wang wanted to stay and serve her.

Huilan firmly refused. She asked Mama Wang to go back to eat because she was afraid of this. Finally, after persuading her again and again, she acted coquettishly for a long time before letting Liu Ya go back to eat with Mama Wang.

Not to mention that she is an adult inside and is not used to being served. Even if Mother Wang has been busy all morning, it is too unkind to let people serve her hungry. Not to mention that Mother Wang is still her nanny, so

It's an elder.

It doesn’t matter whether it counts here or not, as long as it counts in her mind.

In the afternoon, they were busy. Manager Zhou led a few capable subordinates to check and register each shop and house, focusing on the farms and gardens given by the emperor.

By the way, I would like to inform the elder girl about the grace given so that they can prepare in advance.

Over there in the warehouse are Mother Wang and Mother Liu. They are checking and packing the boxes against the booklet. One is packing the gifts given by the emperor, and the other is packing the Li family's personal belongings.

Butler Li took the lead in catching up with the boss, and while dealing with the daily chores of eating, drinking, and eating at home, he also provided logistical support for them.

There was a funeral in the house, and no one came to visit. The door was closed and everyone was busy except Huilan and the three maids in front of her.

But they also had things to do. Things in the main courtyard and the side courtyard where Huilan lived had to be registered and packed separately.

The workload of the two places was not large and it was not suitable for outsiders to do it, so Huilan took charge personally.

The main courtyard is filled with the relics of her parents. As a woman, Hui Lan should certainly do her part.

Butler Li assigned a female accountant to come over and be responsible for registering and making books.

Qingguo took Willow Buds and Willow Leaves to clean up, and they only had to pack small items. Large items only had to be registered in the register, and then Butler Li would naturally handle them.

Hui Lan nostalgically wandered around the east room where her father lived during his lifetime. There was almost only furniture left here.

All the small items that my father often wore and liked are always with him.

Da Qin did not advocate excessive extravagance in funerals, so apart from the personal belongings, only a small number of funeral objects were prepared.
