Qing Palace: Biography of Concubine Shu

Chapter 462 Preparing for the New Year
As the twelfth lunar month entered, Yinzhen obviously became busy, and it was difficult to go home for lunch.

Occasionally, Yinzhen would ask Shu Yun to send the meals to the household department. Of course, most of the time, he would go to Xiaoyaozhuang for meals.

Fujin even started to prepare things for the New Year, and had no time to worry about the female relatives in the backyard. Finally, Shu Yun could live a leisurely life for a while.

"Su Zhu, have you prepared all the things for the New Year?" Shu Yun looked at Su Yan and asked.

Su Zhu nodded: "It's all ready, the dining room is still experimenting with Chinese New Year's candies, and I've brought you some too!"

Every year, the dining room will prepare all kinds of candies for the New Year in advance, and Shu Yun will be the beneficiary of it.

Zhang Desheng came in holding a tray, on which were placed four or five plates of candies, such as Kanto sugar and marshmallows.

"Master, I'm a greedy slave, so I asked for some in the name of master!" Zhang Desheng glanced at Shu Yun, and found that she was not in a hurry.

"Su Zhu, just leave a little for each plate, and give the rest to Zhang Desheng. It's almost Chinese New Year, so let him sweeten his mouth." Shu Yun glanced at Zhang Desheng, and rewarded it with a smile on his face.

"Hey!" Su Zhu saluted respectfully.

"Tomorrow, I can't give you the candy you want again!" Shu Yun said with a smile on his face. "Su Zhu, remember to take it back, give it to those little girls.

Suzhu quickly thanked her, and Zhang Desheng even agreed.

They all went out with candies, Shu Yun sat on the chair, flipped through the ledger with his right hand, and calculated with his left hand. These were all expenses for this month.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, Shu Yun would have a headache. Although Yinzhen would give a lot of money, he was afraid that Shu Yun would be short of money.

"Master, Su Peisheng sent a box of broken silver in the early morning, saying that it was for the master's bounty!" Yinzhen gave it to Shu Yun every month. up some.

When Yinzhen heard it, he just smiled slightly, and didn't take Shu Yun's little actions to heart. He always said that Shu Yun was like a little hamster, constantly storing things in his small warehouse.

"Little boy, what are you doing?" Shu Yun looked at the account book, and used a quill pen to record what could be saved this month on the hand account book he sewed.

"Master, why did you come back so early?" Shu Yun looked at Yinzhen curiously. During this time, Yinzhen basically only returned to the mansion at midnight.

"Tomorrow is the new year, and I must come back early. Is your red envelope ready?" Yinzhen sat beside Shu Yun, looking at the small book that recorded her things in detail. There are still a lot of them.

Yinzhen found that in Shu Yun's private treasury, the classification was very detailed, and it was drawn in the form of a table, written in detail, so that it could be understood at a glance.

"Of course, it has been divided into several classes." Shu Yun reported back to Yin Zhen, "Master, I haven't used up the taels you gave me yet!"

Yinzhen took a look at Shu Yun. Although she didn't have much money to spend, she would try to save as much as possible.

"Little boy, during the Chinese New Year, there will be female family members coming to pay you New Year's greetings, and they will bring their own children. These are all for red envelopes!" I asked you to teach Shu Yun little by little.

Last year, they had just opened the mansion, and no one would come here. When the female relatives came to the door, none of them brought their children.

"Okay." Shu Yun nodded. Last year, more than a dozen concubines came to pay their respects. These people are basically Yinzhen's subordinates. Those people only came back to Shuyun after listening to Yinzhen's arrangement. side.

At the beginning, Shu Yun's family had not been rehabilitated, and the women's family members would rather go to the Song family or the Li family than to come to Shu Yun.

"Master, I think the female family members will definitely not come to my side. Li Gege is still happy this year, so he will definitely go to Li Gege's side." Shu Yun said helplessly.

Yinzhen tilted his head and glanced at her, ": Li Gege's family committed a crime, and may be involved!"

Li Gege's uncle has been involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This year's Spring Festival, Li will definitely keep a low profile.

After hearing Yinzhen's words, Shu Yun murmured inwardly that it was not good, Rui Ou is like this, the only ones who can entertain people in the mansion are Fujin, Song Gege and her.

When the two were talking, Su Peisheng came in from the outside, saying that Fujin wanted to ask Yinzhen to go to the main courtyard, saying that it was something about the Chinese New Year, and he wanted to discuss it with Yinzhen.

Shu Yun saw off Yin Zhen's, and Su Zhu walked in from the outside.

"Master, it is said that Li Gege's due date is after the first month." Suzhu went outside to inquire, and said that Fujin sent a nanny to look at Li Gege in person.

"Should Li Gege's mother be able to enter the mansion?" Shu Yun asked curiously.

"There is a letter from there saying that they will not be able to accompany Li Gege until the Chinese New Year. It is said that there is something at home, and I really can't get away from it." Suzhu said directly.

Shu Yun pursed her lips and laughed, sure enough, a mother-in-law still values ​​her family, and a married daughter doesn't care much about the splashed water at all.

As soon as it was dawn in the young year, Shu Yun was awakened by the sound of cannons, and Yinzhen stood in the corridor, directing the servants in Shu Yun's courtyard to quickly fire the cannons.

In the mansion, Yinzhen's courtyard was fired first, then Fujin's courtyard, and then Gege's courtyard.

It is rare for Yinzhen to know it personally. Shuyun's courtyard has been one of Yinzhen's tasks since last year.

"Master is coming?" Shu Yun heard the sound of the cannon, and knew that Yinzhen was coming.

In other courtyards, only when the master is awake can he start firing cannons.

"My lord said, let the master sleep peacefully. It's so easy to rest more during the Chinese New Year. Just go to Fujin's courtyard to have lunch before lunch!" Yinzhen was very strict with Shu Yun's habits.

A smile appeared on Shu Yun's face, and he fell asleep again in a daze.

"Master, master is asleep again!" Su Zhu walked out of the courtyard and greeted Yin Zhen.

Yinzhen's complexion is not good, this year is considered to be a new year, and it should be a happy day, but it was checked by Li Gege.

Li Gege's fetal gas actually moved, and the imperial physicians were still checking pulse in Li Gege's courtyard. After Yinzhen shot Shu Yun specially, he turned and went to the study.

After seeing off Yinzhen, the little maids outside came over and told Su Zhu that Fujin asked Shu Yun to wait at Li Gege's side.

"Master, Li Gege seems to have activated!" Su Zhu's words made Shu Yun act directly.

"Isn't it time?" Shu Yun asked curiously.

The current due date is basically about eight months, so how can it be brought forward?

"Hurry up and prepare some simple breakfast in the dining room, let's go there after we use it!" Shu Yun will not treat himself badly, and will definitely make himself full before going there.

After breakfast, Shu Yun supported Su Zhu and walked straight to Li Gege's courtyard.
