Chapter 273 Windfall
"Alas, I knew you were unreliable, I'll do it myself!"
Ji Yunqing shook his head in disappointment, and prepared to make the announcement himself.
At this time, Ruyi, who had been looking for an opportunity to show her ability, suddenly brightened up. Finally, she found the opportunity.
"Master, the voice outside sounded like the voice of Sister Zhaocai, no, Zhaocai's voice.
Why do you need to come in person? Isn't this giving Zhaocai face? Why not let me help you make the announcement? "
After Jing Ruyi said this, everyone suddenly woke up. Isn’t that the sound of attracting wealth?
Zhaocai was originally a maid in Guihuayuan.
It has been a long time since this maid was asked to go by Concubine Li in public.
When she heard it was Zhaocai, Juhong's heart tightened. The reason she was able to enter this courtyard was because she was filling the position of Zhaocai!
Everything is fine now, why did she come back?
Although the Guihua Courtyard is no longer favored, it still has this little prince.
In addition, the master is not too generous, but not stingy either, and has a good temper. He will not be punished for no reason. This has already surprised Juhong, and he plans to work well here.
Everyone had different thoughts. Ji Yunqing thought for a moment and simply nodded: "Then you go and tell her. The most important thing is, don't even think about seeing me if you don't pay me!"
Ruyi knew this of course. She cleared her throat, walked forward and came to the gate of the yard.
Through a tightly closed door: "Our master asks, who is outside?"
Zhaocai gave the money and, in an anxious mood, leaned against the door to listen to the sounds in the yard, but unfortunately he heard nothing.
The two old maids guarding the gate took the money and pretended not to see what happened.
However, there was no movement inside the door, which had another meaning in her eyes.
Her eyes lit up, her master's guess was correct.
This concubine of the Ji family hid herself and dared not see anyone. There must be something fishy going on!
Thinking back to what he had just overheard outside the wall, "It hurts so much," Zhaocai bit his lower lip.
The last time Concubine Ji was under house arrest, she unexpectedly gave birth to a child. What about this time?
Could it be that Concubine Ji is using the same old trick again and is pregnant again?
If this important news could be confirmed, then there would be hope that her master would agree to let her become the prince's concubine.
Although Concubine Ji was her former master, she was very stingy. She would not even give soup to others when she ate meat herself, and she never mentioned the matter of a maid helping her to consolidate her favor.
He is ambitious about making money and doesn't want to marry a servant when he gets older, so he can only take care of himself.
Thinking of this, Zhaocai barely suppressed the slightest bit of guilt he felt.
At this time, a voice finally came from inside the door, asking her who she was.
As soon as Zhaocai heard it, she knew it was not Concubine Ji's voice. Her guess became more and more certain. She raised her voice slightly:
"I am here to visit Concubine Ji on the orders of Concubine Li. Concubine Li has something important to say to Concubine Ji."
The two old maids guarding the gate outside looked at each other.
Concubine Li?
At first, the maid only said "concubine", and they thought it was Concubine Xu or Concubine Lou!
Why is it the Concubine Li who has been under house arrest for a long time?
What does it mean to send a maid to my house for no reason?
Could it be that the concubines who were under house arrest were planning to share some experiences with each other?
But they took the money, a lot of it, and the two maids didn't think of stopping them.
Here, Ruyi was full of energy and shouted out the true teachings of his master: "If you want to see our master, you must show some appreciation. You can't just show your appreciation to the two old maids.
When facing our master, you just want to offer your face to be chopped off, right?"
Everyone who heard it felt a little embarrassed.
Nanny An couldn't bear to look at it and wanted to cover her face.
On the contrary, Ji Yunqing had no sense of shame at all, and encouraged Ruyi: "Yes, that's what I said, you are a great maid!"
Ruirui leaned softly on her mother's legs, nodded her chin, and said in a clear childish voice: "Good job!"
Ruyi listened to the praises from both the master and the junior master, and her spirits became even more excited. She was ready to respond to the other party.
She can then try harder to perform in front of her master.
结果
There was a voice outside the door.
"Then...Is the servant throwing the silver over the wall?"
Ruyi turned and looked at Ji Yunqing.
Ji Yunqing said calmly: "Silver?"
Ruyi got the instructions and asked hurriedly, "Silver?"
The person outside the door quickly changed his words: "Silver note, it's a silver note"
Zhaocai was extremely confident about this. Before coming, her master told her that she could give a small bribe if necessary, and Zhaocai was very obedient.
Soon, a ball of paper was thrown over from the outside of the wall. When it was opened, it was found that there was a small snowball inside, but the paper wrapping the snowball was a silver bill.
The face value is one hundred taels.
Zhaocai waited, but the door still didn't open.
She was not disappointed, but continued to throw it into the yard.
Ji Yunqing was surprised at first, but later he calmed down.
She wanted to see how many surprises (banknotes) the other party could give her!
A snowball wrapped in paper soon fell on the ground.
It was not until no new paper balls were thrown over the wall that Ji Yunqing heard a voice coming from outside the wall: "These are all I have, are they enough?"
"Waiting"
Ji Yunqing raised his chin and motioned for the maids to pick it up.
The maids quickly picked up all the snowballs, and Hongdou, the only one at the scene who could count so many numbers besides Ji Yunqing, figured out the answer.
"Master, a total of two thousand three hundred taels of silver."
When this number came out, the maids present couldn't help but gasp in shock.
This fortune-bringing thing will really make you rich when you go out!
I actually have so much money in my hand.
Maybe because there was no movement here, two more snowballs came over there.
Ruyi quickly bent down and picked it up.
"Master, this is a fifty-liang note, and two ten-liang notes, wrapped in three pieces of silver, and ten copper coins."
It seems that he really gave his all just to see Ji Yunqing.
Ruyi asked: "Master, what should we do now?"
Ji Yunqing smacked his lips and distributed benefits to everyone first: "This money, each of you will get ten taels, and the rest will be collected first"
Hongdou quickly put away all the banknotes and said, "Yes, Master."
Then he said to the other maids: "I will exchange it for silver and give it to you."
For a moment, the maids in the yard looked excited.
There is another reward to be won!
This is simply fantastic.
There were even maids who were already looking forward to Zhaocai's next visit.
The clever maid was the first to thank: "Thank you, Master."
The other maids also responded: "Thank you, Master!"
Listening to the voices of thanks, Ji Yunqing's lips curled up slightly, and finally showed mercy: "Okay, open the door!"
Zhaocai finally saw his former master.
As soon as she saw it, she heard the maids standing in the yard thanking Concubine Ji.
What are you thanking me for?
Zhaocai’s doubts were soon resolved.
Guihuayuan just got an unexpected fortune, so it gave rewards to the maids in the courtyard!
As for what kind of windfall it was, Zhaocai shouted in his heart: That was all the money she brought!
