Nanny Zhou had a loud voice, and when she shouted, not only the yard became quiet, but also outside the gate became quiet.
The old women outside the door put their ears to the gate, trying to hear how the people inside were going to deal with them!
Song Mingli spoke softly, "Jingyou fell into the water, and the mother-in-law protected the wet nurse and didn't care whether Jingyou lived or died... I went back to my parents' home in anger. Unexpectedly, the prince smashed my storehouse and stole my dowry...
"You all know about these two things. I won't hide it from you. I am really heartbroken. Therefore, I have handed over the household expenses of the Gu Mansion to my mother-in-law. I have not asked about it since I last went back to my parents' home."
The servants in the yard nodded one after another.
Not only was the young lady heartbroken, but even the servants felt disheartened!
But Sun and the prince were the masters after all, so they didn't dare to say anything.
"I don't know if the prince and mother-in-law had some misunderstanding with the servants. Now people are falling on us.
"I heard that the Gu family owed their servants their monthly wages last month, causing panic among the people. In order to reassure you, I went back to my mother's house and borrowed some money from my brother."
Zi Su on the side was holding the account book and the cash box.
"Today, I will pay everyone the next three months' salary in advance, so that you can put your mind at ease and work without worrying!" Song Mingli smiled gently, "If you get paid for your work, you won't be worried, I understand.
"My life won't always be hard. You see, I'll use my money to do some small business with Her Royal Highness the Princess. When the Princess gets the money back, I'll naturally have more money on hand.
"If your business is good, in addition to the rewards you deserve, I will give you an extra month's salary during the New Year! How do you think?"
When the servants heard this, they immediately looked at each other.
They want to give more money? Who wouldn't be happy about that?
"Thank you, miss! Thank you, miss!"
"Master, you are so kind!"
"Master, you are considerate of us and understand our difficulties! You couldn't be more kind and righteous!"
"You are a good master! We know your difficulties!"
"No need to pay it three months in advance! The master is considerate of us servants, and we should also be considerate of the master!"
"Yes Master! We believe in you!"
Song Mingli smiled slightly and nodded to everyone.
She would not be stingy with the money that should be spent. It was better to give the money to the servants than to feed it to the ungrateful wolves of the Gu family.
Besides, it’s just paying the monthly salary in advance, which is the salary they deserve.
"Everyone, line up and come over to collect your monthly allowance. Once you've collected it, please put your fingerprints here." Nanny Zhou greeted everyone skillfully.
Zi Su gave everyone money and asked them to put their fingerprints on the document. In addition, each person was given a small bag of snacks.
"This is a gift from Her Royal Highness the Princess. She said it was the work of the royal chef. I want to give it to everyone to taste."
"Wow! It's made by the royal chef! Oh my god, you can't buy this even if you have money!"
"Miss, whatever good things you have, you always think about us, the people below. It's so reassuring to follow a master like this!"
"Miss, please rest assured. We won't listen to rumors from outsiders! We are in the right in this matter!"
The servants received three months' wages and a small bag of snacks made by the imperial chef, which made them feel at ease.
The maids outside the door couldn't hear clearly what Song Mingli said.
She is a young lady, and speaks softly and quietly.
But they heard the jingling of copper coins and the voices of the servants cheering and thanking.
"Where's the money?"
"Giving out money? Let me see! Let me see!"
The old women no longer cared about shouting and leaned over the crack in the door to look inside.
The door was bolted tightly, so they couldn't see anything.
Several people were crowded at the door, not expecting it to suddenly open.
"Ouch..."
Several old women at the door staggered and fell into the courtyard.
"Hey, what are these maids doing lying at the door of our Qi Chi Courtyard?"
Several old women, relying on their own strength, immediately stood up and tried to shout.
But when I looked up, I saw about 10 to 20 people from the other side standing at the door, and each of them had a shining eye and a happy face.
If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid we women won't be able to gain any advantage, and we may even suffer losses!
“Did you give out money?”
"Yes! It was sent three months in advance!"
"Did you see that? The princess gave me some snacks, but the master couldn't bear to enjoy them all by himself, so he shared them with everyone to have a taste!"
"This is the craftsmanship of the royal chef. Money can't buy it! What is this? This is honor and favor!"
No matter young or old, everyone in Qichiyuan had a look of pride on their faces.
The old woman in the outer courtyard suddenly became even less arrogant.
"No... Why should we give you money but drive us away?"
"When the old marquis was still alive, he said that we should work hard for the Gu family, and when we get old, the Gu family will take care of us!"
The old women talked at once.
There were many people in the yard, and they immediately started to yell at them, "The Gu family is providing for your retirement, why don't you go find the Gu family! Why are you looking for our young lady?"
"Hasn't our young lady suffered enough from the Gu family? She also has to suffer from you?"
"Our young lady has long since stopped caring about the Gu family's finances! When my young lady was in charge, she never owed you any monthly payments, right?"
"Even when things were tough, my young lady pawned her dowry, but she didn't chase you away, did she? Oh, my young lady doesn't care about the family anymore! Someone wants to chase you away! Are you blaming our young lady?"
"Is it so unreasonable?"
"Our young lady gave us the monthly allowance in advance because she was implicated by the Gu family! She was afraid that we would feel uneasy! She borrowed money from her parents' home to pay us the monthly allowance in advance!"
"You guys are being used as a gun, yet you are so stupid as to come and make trouble with our lady!"
There was a lot of noise at the gate of the yard.
Song Mingli brought Zi Su and sat in the house sipping tea.
"Why is the tea that big brother gave me so fragrant this time? It's almost as good as the tribute tea that father was awarded back then." Song Mingli took a sip and savored it carefully.
Zi Su's mind was not on tea. She looked out the window, "Tsk tsk, Miss is really amazing. I can't win an argument with them! But there are so many mouths in our yard!
"Look, those maids were so embarrassed that they couldn't say a word!"
Song Mingli smiled and said, "If you want the horse to run fast, you have to feed it well. The people in our courtyard have just received their money and snacks made by the imperial chef, and they are in high spirits.
"Just this 'righteousness' alone is enough to overwhelm them, not to mention that there are more of them, there is no argument that cannot be won."
The old women were so ashamed that they left the gate of Qichiyuan in dismay.
She was pointed at and scolded by a group of maids and old women.
They gradually came to their senses and realized that they seemed to be used as pawns.
But since they couldn't get any benefits from the young lady, who should they go to and how should they go to complain?
"Old sisters!" Nanny Zhou caught up with them from behind.
Several people turned around and looked at Madam Zhou. "The maids in your yard are very quick-witted and have already scolded us."
"Look, the spit on my face hasn't dried yet, Sister Zhou, you're not going to scold us again, are you?"
Nanny Zhou is popular and well-informed and popular both in the inner and outer courtyards.
She chuckled when she heard that, "What are you talking about, elder sister! How could I scold you? My young lady has a gentle temper and a kind heart.
"She saw you guys making such a fuss and was afraid that the girls in our yard would panic, so she quickly distributed the money she borrowed from her mother's family to everyone!"
Several old women showed envy in their eyes.
Why don’t they have a master like this... Oh, that’s not right, the young lady is their master!
They quickly raised their heads and looked at Aunt Zhou, "Sister Zhou..."
