The favorite concubine of the system is in power

Chapter 381 Monthly Money
Cheng Shuang is from Yongxiu Palace, so Xiao Wanwan naturally has to protect her, but she has never forgotten what good deeds this Eunuch Wen has done.

But young girls often don't have a clear head when they fall in love, Xiao Wanwan also has some doubts in her heart, not sure whether Cheng Shuang will rekindle her old love for him.

"What kind of person is he? Bengong believes in your dexterity and intelligence, and has already seen him clearly. There is really no need to miss such a ruthless person."

"Cheng Shuang knows," Cheng Shuang glanced at Xiao Wanwan with gratitude in his eyes.

She really did not follow the wrong master.

----

The embroiderers of the Silk and Satin Bureau have long been miserable. There are many things at this time of year, but this year it has become even worse. Their father-in-law even took the scraps and let them make gorgeous clothes.

Make bricks without straw.

"Sajia, no matter what difficulties you have," Eunuch Wen snorted coldly, glanced at the group of embroidered ladies lightly, and took a sip of tea slowly, "You all know that Concubine Yan Gui is now a big celebrity in front of the emperor. , if you make her unhappy, don't want any of your heads!"

The embroiderers don't understand why such a noble concubine Yan Gui insists on picking up the things left in the corners instead of using the exquisite fabrics tributed from the local area.

"If the empress wears it out in two days, you people should know what will happen to you."

The embroiderers lit the lamps and boiled the oil, racked their brains and tried their best to sew the rough and thin cloth together. They took the most precious and colorful needles and threads, and embroidered colorful peonies on the material.

After three or two days of continuous rotation, the group of embroiderers finally made the clothes. At first glance, it was indeed a gorgeous and exquisite dress.

Eunuch Wen nodded, with a smile on his face, "You did a good job. Today is the day to pay the monthly money. I don't want to hinder you. Go and get the monthly money back first."

For these embroiderers who are begging for life in the palace, receiving monthly money is the happiest thing.

They came in groups of twos and threes, lowering their voices: "I don't know how much money I can get this month?"

"This month's volume is so much larger than usual, and more should be issued."

"I'm not begging to post more, as long as it's the same as last month, I'm satisfied."

……

The aunt in charge raised her head, and after checking their identities, she opened the bottom cabinet, took out a few strings of pennies, and ordered arrogantly, "Line up, come one by one."

When the embroidered mother got the monthly money, the eyes of each of them were widened. They looked ugly but didn't dare to lose their temper. They suppressed their temper and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, have you made a mistake in this account?" ? How come there is only one penny for this month’s monthly money?”

The aunt smiled but didn't smile, her eyes were cold: "Did I remember wrong? If you think I didn't do a good job, why don't I give you this seat?"

"Auntie, that's not what we mean," one of the older embroiderers smiled apologetically, "Originally the embroiderers appointed in the palace received three slings of money every month, but last month they paid one and a half slings, and this month they are even more tired. There is only one hanging in their hands, and the sisters inevitably have some doubts in their hearts, not because they doubt Auntie's ability."

The aunt who was in charge of the accounts sneered, and stroked the hair on her cheeks: "You Xiuniangs usually only use your hands, how do you know the hard work of us people? You are stupid and often do things badly. Those who are useless Don’t you need money to subsidize the lost materials and the broken needles and threads? Besides, we people worry about you day and night, and take some money as your filial piety, don’t you agree? "
