Chapter 241 She is rich and enjoys her life!

First came the married ones, followed by the younger ones. Several of them knelt on the mats on the ground, smiling happily and saying auspicious words. Everyone was so happy that they kept nodding their heads and gave out red envelopes without mercy.

Of course, what they received were not red envelopes, but small gold nuggets made of gold in the shapes of various small animals or plants. In any case, in the end their pockets were filled.

Shu Xiaoxiao touched her bulging purse. To be honest, these were all solid gold. Any one of them might be something that an ordinary person could never dream of.

When we were in Qinglian Village, apart from the red envelopes given by my grandfather, most of the other people only gave one or two cents. They were very happy just to have some good fortune. As for so many silver notes, not only the children but also the adults did not dare to think about it.

The pressure of being rich and poor in this world is so great, but she is rich and she enjoys it!

With so many rich people in the world, isn't it natural for there to be one more?

No matter how much you have, please throw it at her. She can definitely bear it and can endure the hardship of having money!

No matter what the adults are doing today, they children have only one goal: to play!

Everyone filled a bag with firecrackers and ran out happily to set them off. Halfway through, Shu Xiaoxiao was reminded by her third brother and then she remembered that it was embarrassing for Dabai to be alone in Yongle Earl's Mansion.

The Yongle Earl's Mansion was always decorated with lights and lanterns, but since her master was not at home, it seemed a bit deserted. When Steward Lin saw Shu Xiaoxiao, it was no exaggeration to say that he almost burst into tears with excitement.

Shu Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed. She had been in Kyoto and they had seen each other often. Why was it so exaggerated? She didn't expect that Steward Lin was still so sentimental at such an old age. After all, this was her home. She would come back to see Steward Lin more often in the future. He was also very hardworking for running the house so well.

Housekeeper Lin didn't know what her master was thinking, otherwise she would have cried out of grievance. Was he sentimental? There was only one master in the mansion, but she often passed by the door three times without entering.

Take a look at the housekeepers in various mansions throughout Kyoto. During the New Year and other festivals, every mansion is busy as hell, helping their masters visit relatives and friends, welcoming and seeing off guests, and they are so busy that their backs are straight.

He is so bad. His master, who is so close to Kyoto, refused to come back for the New Year. All the housekeepers in his circle began to laugh at him for being incompetent and unable to keep his master. Isn't that infuriating?

They were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink a cup of tea. They even had to take time to come and talk to him about what tasks their master had assigned them today and how busy he was today. He was so angry that he almost threw the sole of his shoe in the old guy's face.

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at Butler Lin who was looking at her expectantly, and thought of the benefits that her mother had instructed to be prepared for the mansion. It was originally said that they would be given in the evening, but she was the most powerful person in the whole mansion, and Butler Lin was so looking forward to it, so it would be just the same if he gave it earlier, and she would be happy sooner.

So facing the housekeeper's expectant eyes, Shu Xiaoxiao ordered generously: "Housekeeper, it's New Year's Day, you should distribute the things to the people in the mansion now, so that everyone can be happy!"

Hearing that there was something to do, Steward Lin agreed loudly and hurried to do the work. He had to show his master that his efficiency was no worse than those old guys.

So Shu Xiaoxiao, who had just appeased Dabai, welcomed the New Year's greetings from all the servants in the mansion. According to the rules, after receiving rewards during the New Year, one must kowtow to the host and greet him/her. This is the norm.

Shu Xiaoxiao sat on the chair, muttering to herself: I am the master, when in Rome do as the Romans do, it is only natural for servants to bow to their masters, I can afford it, I am the Earl of Yongle, I can afford it, this is what I deserve, as long as I don't have to kowtow, I can afford it.

Gradually, she calmly accepted their kowtows. As the beneficiary, she unconditionally accepted this series of services centered on her.

Generally, not all servants in a mansion have the opportunity to kowtow to their master. However, there is only this one master in their mansion, and there are not many servants. If you really have to pick and choose, there are even fewer who can come and kowtow. So the housekeeper called all the servants in the mansion over. Look at how energetic they are. It seems that their mansion is quite lively, right?

Finally, after they finished bowing, Shu Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say, so she just gave some benefits. Everyone would definitely like it: "Everyone has worked hard during the New Year. Today, the kitchen will make a few more tables of delicious dishes so that everyone can have a good meal."

Seeing everyone leaving with profuse gratitude, Shu Xiaoxiao didn't care what they thought. Anyway, her mission was completed and Dabai was appeased.

Shu Xiaoxiao held Xiao Chenxi's hand and waved, "Let's go and visit Senior Brother Yun to wish him a happy new year."

It's not convenient to stay in other houses, as there are too many people there, and the key point is that she is not familiar with them. But how can she stay in one place during the New Year? She should act casually. She can go to find Senior Brother Yun. There is only one person in his house, so it is a good place whether to visit for New Year's greetings or to play.

Shu Tingfei and his two nephews, who were happily teasing Baihu, were stunned when they heard that they were going to Dingbei Marquis Mansion. They smiled and declined: "Uncle Xiao, you and Chenxi can go together. We won't go. We want to find a place to set off firecrackers."

Baihu has sensitive ears and cannot bear the sound of firecrackers. They still have half a bag of firecrackers left to set off. What a pity! They must set off all the firecrackers today. Now that Uncle Xiao is going to Dingbei Marquis Mansion to celebrate the New Year, they will go to another place to play.

I heard that Prince Yun’s cold face can scare children to tears. If they are too scared to cry, they will not make things difficult for themselves.

It's New Year's Day, and Shu Tingfei doesn't want to face Master Yun's cold face. He won't get involved in their fellow apprentice's affairs. He'll just look after his two nephews.

As for Xiao Chenxi, he couldn't set off firecrackers and was very attached to Shu Xiaoxiao, so he followed her to Dingbei Marquis' Mansion.

Under Steward Lin's reluctant look, the few of them walked out of Yongle Earl's Mansion. Shu Tingfei touched his arm which was about to get goose bumps, and said hesitantly: "Why does Steward Lin look so strange, as if he wants to pull us back."

Shu Xiaoxiao touched her nose embarrassedly: "It's nothing, maybe he can't bear to leave us."

Just now, Butler Lin gave her a general account of the affairs of the mansion. Most of the key points were that the mansion was kept very tidy, and she could come back to live anytime, and the servants in the mansion were waiting to serve their master. When asked why she came back, he also said that he was ridiculed by other butlers in other mansions, and asked if he had done something wrong. As long as she pointed it out, he would change it immediately.

Implicit in his words was that he was asking her when she would come back to live with him, and that everyone in the mansion was waiting to serve him, which made her feel embarrassed.

Shu Tingfei sent his sister and nephew to the gate of Dingbei Marquis' Mansion, and then found a place to play with his two nephews.

The people in Dingbei Marquis' Mansion were not very familiar with Shu Xiaoxiao, but they all knew of her existence. Her comings and goings were usually normal, but today, as soon as she entered, she met the butler who had a smile on his face like an orange peel.

Shu Xiaoxiao was completely confused. What happened to the housekeeper today?
