Passing through the station

Time is accompanied by busyness, and it seems that the Spring Festival will arrive in the blink of an eye.

The civil servants were also on vacation, and after Ruan Bai finished his year-end affairs, he also started to do nothing.

On the contrary, Xiao Zhong and the four assistants who were busy with Ruan Bai were extremely shocked.Even though they were trying their best to suppress their emotions, there was still a little bit of it on their faces.

Ruan Bai watched several people wipe the small study room over and over again, and finally couldn't help but chase them away: "It's the holidays, I got the bonus and go shopping quickly, otherwise the shops will be closed in a few days, I want to buy something. Can't buy it either."

Xiao Zhong had been with Ruan Bai the longest, but he was the least courageous, after thinking about it, he didn't dare to ask more questions.On the contrary, another big maid, Qiaowen, was more generous: "Second young master, slaves and maidservants should do things as they should, how can they ask for so much money?"

Although we didn't get along for a long time, Qiaowen knew that the second young master seemed to have a bad temper, but he was actually easy to get along with.As long as he finishes his own work in time, he doesn't even mind that his servants borrow the books in the study, and even give some pointers.

Of course, this is also because Qiaowen is the quickest and smartest at getting started. Except for Xiaoping, a small servant who was born in a cashier, who is a little better, the others are living in dire straits.

Every class teacher/Ruan Bai likes the top student/Qiaowen.

"From now on, the profits will be summed up at the end of each year, and half of them will be used as dividends to reward the efforts of the employees." Hello, hello, everyone, going hand in hand is the way to prosperity. There is no shortage of everything, but you are still young, and it is not a bad thing to have a little more money around you."

Among the servants who can read and write, their IQ and EQ are not bad.

If the population of the palace is larger, these are the stewards of each house.Even Xiao Zhong, who seems to be mediocre, is actually because his strengths are not in handling internal affairs. Xiao Zhong is calm and experienced in dealing with the outside world, and he knows the relationships and tricks of each family like the back of his hand.

There are actually quite a few cases where servants have reached their level.In addition, most of them are in charge of the purchases of the young masters and girls, and the shrewd ones can save a lot of money.If they meet someone who wants to make a move, they can even earn a lot of gray income.

However, the rules of the palace are strict, and there is no gray income at all.It's just that the owner's family is generous, and the cost of food and clothing is higher than other families.

They lived in the palace since they were young, and suddenly felt that it was wrong to hold such a large sum of money.But the second young master's reward, they are not easy to push, let alone...

All four assistants went out with complicated expressions.

Xiao Zhong remained in the study, hesitating to talk to Ruan Bai in various ways.

Ruan Bai said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, say it!"

Xiao Zhong cautiously looked outside, and after finding no one there, he lowered his voice and said, "Second Young Master, the villain dares to ask Second Young Master to take back his life."

Ruan Bai didn't answer, and motioned him to continue talking with his eyes.

Xiaozhong gritted his teeth and continued: "I heard from the second young master just now that he planned to make this year-end bonus a rule, and the villain thought it was inappropriate. The second young master has many properties under his name, and everyone earns a lot of money every day, even if it is only half of it. It's not small. It's like this all year round, and the villain is worried that some people's appetites will grow, and they look forward to things that they shouldn't be looking forward to."

"Get to the point." People's hearts are unpredictable, who can guarantee a lifetime of loyalty?He can only ensure that he has enough power, so that don't have the guts to give birth to a double heart.

What Xiao Zhong said was just an introduction. The real reason is: "Now there are many people working for the second young master. Many of them are not born in the family, and some of them just signed the contract of sale. Although these people are also people in the family , but their family members are not. Ah Hou, a buddy of Bailifang, was sold into the palace when he was eight years old, and his family couldn't live. It was all given to the family.”

Ruan Bai frowned: "Ahou's family members...are they unbearable?"

Ah Hou knew that he was honest and dutiful, but also quick-witted. He was young, but he was very calm in dealing with things.He plans to train for a while, and when Bailifang opens a new store, he can be promoted to be the second shopkeeper or something.

It's nothing to subsidize the family.Which family's children don't buy something for the family after making money?Even if Ah Hou was sold by his family, but if the family can really live on, who would sell their sons and daughters?What can make Xiaozhong object so much must be that there is something wrong with that family.

"Ahou's parents are both from Beishi Village, Gyeonggi Province. Ahhou's father used to do a small business, and his life was pretty good. But later, Ahhou's father was cheated, and his family went bankrupt. Ahhou's mother also went, Ahhou's father was left behind with Ahhou and Ahhou's younger sister, and the father and son returned to the village. Ahhou's father was introduced by someone and married his current stepmother..."

What follows is a story of a stepmother and a stepfather.Ahhou's stepmother is very fertile, and she gave birth to a pair of twins in her first child, which is a happy event for any family.But poor couples are sad about everything, and there are two more mouths in the family. They can't survive at all by farming.So Ah Hou was sold.

Then Ah Hou struggled, and earned a lot of money as a servant, but he was holding Ah Hou's younger sister, so Ah Hou couldn't do anything about it.

"...Sister Ah Hou is already fifteen years old, and she hasn't talked about marriage yet. The last time Father Ah Hou came to ask Ah Hou for money, he said that Ah Hou would not give the money, so he told sister Ah Hou to the landlord's house in the next village stupid son."

These days, is fifteen a leftover girl?Ruan Bai was shocked in his heart: "There are many such things?" Since Xiao Zhong was asked to speak, Ah Hou must not be the only example.

Xiao Zhong nodded heavily: "Ah Hou is a man, it's not bad. The girls in Die Lian Fang were treated badly. Twice their parents even came to the store to make trouble, but they were immediately dismissed. stopped."

"Come to the store to make trouble? Why didn't I know?" Ruan Bai just felt a little strange, but he wasn't very angry.

"It's the cousin who didn't let me tell you. Second Young Master, you were busy a while ago." Xiaozhong sold Ji Nandie without hesitation.

Ruan Bai nodded, but understood.Die Lian Fang in the capital was jointly opened by him and Ji Nandie.He is only in charge of the product and some planning, while Ji Nandie is in charge of the operation.Someone came to the store to cause trouble, and it was directly related to the employees. That was Ji Nandie's responsibility. Besides, the matter must be resolved, so there was no need to tell him.

Even if Xiao Zhong didn't go into too much detail, he also understood how much risk the girls had to take when they came out to work.Even if Die Lian Fang faced almost all female customers, there would probably be a lot of gossip.

On this point, the capital is not as good as the border.Even Liniang and the others were not so criticized in Xishan City.

"Understood, after the store is cleaned up, you let these people come to see me." Some people are willing to be cowards, and he can't rule by law.If there is still a little bit of thought, the problem that they can't solve is just a trivial matter to him.The universal view of society is not the truth.If he doesn't challenge, can't he do something else secretly?

Xiaozhong left soon.Ruan Bai was left lazily in the study, not bothering to move at all, and fell asleep after a while.

When Chu Hao entered the door, what he saw was Ruan Bai's cheeks flushed from sleep.

There is no kang in the study, and the floor is covered with earth dragons.Last time he took the opportunity to build a glass room, he took the opportunity to change everything that could be changed.As soon as Chu Hao walked into the room, there was a rush of heat.

He smiled, knowing that his second dog would not treat him badly no matter where he went.He squatted on the side of the couch and called softly: "Second brother, it's time to wake up."

Ruan Bai slept deeply this time.After all, his body is not yet an adult, and coupled with his poor background, he still has some losses. He was very busy a while ago, but he didn't feel anything when he was concentrated. When he relaxed today, Lian Xiaozhong, who fell asleep, came over to cover him up. I don't even know the quilt.

Chu Hao yelled several times without waking him up. He couldn't help frowning slightly, bowed his head and kissed him, feeling extremely distressed.

"Hmm." Ruan Bai hummed softly in his sleep, stretched out his hand and softly pushed Chu Hao, but he didn't push him away, his brows frowned even tighter.

"Second brother?"

"Well, don't make trouble." Unable to push away the obstacle, Ruan Ergou twisted, and continued to sleep with peace of mind, without any precautions.

Chu Hao couldn't laugh or cry.He fully thought that Ruan Bai would be excited and happy when he saw him.Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a second dog who was so sleepy that he didn't know what to do.

"Sleep for a while, and get up for dinner later." He murmured softly, and carefully carried Ruan Bai to the next bedroom.The weight in his hand didn't seem to change much, but the flesh was obviously less.

Traveling in the winter is not a matter of human beings.Chu Hao was also a little tired in order to rush to the capital, so he simply hugged Ruan Bai and slept together.When they woke up again, the lights were already on, and it was Xiao Zhong who came to wake them up.

"Hey!" Ruan Bai sat up on the bed, his eyes widened, "Why are you here!" Is he still asleep?Why did Chu Hao appear when he woke up?

Chu Hao had a smile on his face, but he pulled it down instantly: "What do you mean 'why are you here'! My brother travels day and night, and came to the capital to celebrate the New Year with you, just like you!"

Ruan Bai moved to Chu Hao's side, put his hand on Chu Hao's shoulder, pushed him down lightly, buried his face in his neck and rubbed it, hehe smiled: "You are really here."

This stupid dog!Chu Hao lost his temper at all after being rubbed, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and couldn't stop laughing.

The host is happy, and the people at the moment are also happy.The preparations for the Chinese New Year have been tidied up quickly.And this year I have a greenhouse, vegetables are available, and the dishes are easy to match.The second young master said before that meals should be mixed with meat and vegetables, and the egg and milk should be balanced. They all remembered it!

It just so happened that Chu Hao came, and the New Year red envelopes in the palace hadn't been given yet.This is a common practice. There are rules in previous years, and how much money is given for what level.Ruan Bai had already made preparations, and when the New Year came, the servants would kowtow to them one by one to congratulate them on the New Year.

Chu Hao saw that Ruan Bai was impatient with this, and squeezed his palms: "The rules are like this, be patient." Every household is the same.

Ruan Bai nodded.While enjoying the exploitative life of the landlord class, he had to get used to something.

Fortunately, except for a few people in charge, the rest of the people kowtowed together by a dozen or twenty people.

On the first day of Chinese New Year, Ji Nandie brought her husband and baby to the palace.

At that time, Ruan Bai happened to be frying spring rolls.

The author has something to say: Xiaobai <(￣︶￣)>: You need to give a New Year’s gift during the Chinese New Year. Tell yourself, what do you want?

Kitten (⊙▽⊙): Songsong wants to eat cucumbers, vegetables and radishes, and Nest wants to eat eggplants, apples and pears.

Xiaobai (～￣▽￣)～: No!

Persimmon (～o￣3￣)～: I want two dogs.

Xiaobai (～o￣3￣)～: You can have this, okay~ Kitten (⊙︿⊙): Discriminatory treatment!
