On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family gathered again for a meal, and Shen Qinglan was already very sleepy when she returned to Wenlan Courtyard.

"Miss, the little girls and servants in our courtyard will wish you New Year's greetings later, do you want to take a bath first or wait?" Yan'er asked.

Shen Qinglan yawned, "Forget it, let's skip this process, you send them all the red envelopes I prepared, and come back tomorrow, I'm really tired."

"I stayed up late last night, and I went to various courtyards to pay New Year's greetings early this morning. It's really embarrassing for Miss." Yan'er said distressedly.

"What's so difficult about it? It's nothing, your lady is not so delicate." Shen Qinglan grabbed Yan'er's hand, leaned into her ear and whispered: "Guess how much money I took in total when I went to kowtow in each courtyard today?" New Year's money?"

"It must be no less than a few thousand taels." Yan'er said.

Shen Qinglan had a laugh, stretched out her hand and gestured for a "three", Yan'er was surprised and said: "3000 taels? I remember that miss still had 8000 taels last year!"

"What 3000 taels, there are 3 taels!"

"so much!"

"Probably because my family felt that I ran around for the family last year. It was very hard work. I was also poisoned and became seriously ill. In addition, I was divorced by Meng Jingming, so this year they felt very sorry for me, so they gave me more. The eldest uncle and aunt gave 1 taels, the grandmother gave 1 taels, the elder brother gave 5000 taels, the second brother gave 2000 taels, and the parents gave 3000 taels.

"And something else!"

"Yes!" Shen Qinglan counted on her fingers again, "The uncle and aunt gave 800 taels of gold, the grandmother gave 500 taels of gold and a small box of pearls, and the elder brother gave ten pieces of gold silk brocade and a lot of gold. For jewellery, my second elder brother gave me the Four Treasures of the Study, worth a thousand taels, and my parents also gave me a few rare porcelains.”

"Miss Wow! You've gotten rich!" Yan'er sighed.

"So this time, I gave everyone in Wenlanyuan 80 taels of red envelopes each. Ji Fan and Tao Guan'er, who worked hard, gave 100 taels of red envelopes, and other people in the mansion received 20 taels of red envelopes each. .”

Yan'er was even more surprised, "Miss, you are really a big spender. If you make such a move, the small 1 taels will be gone. We servants will never earn so much money in our lifetime!"

"What is this? I have prepared 300 taels of gold for you! How about it, isn't your lady interesting enough?"

Yan'er quickly waved her hand, "Forget it, miss, you still have to pay back the money, so don't spend it on me. Besides, I don't think you should give everyone such a big red envelope."

"Why?" Shen Qinglan was puzzled.

"Everyone is from poor people, and they have never seen so much money. If everyone has eaten and seen it, and some unscrupulous people use the money to squander and gamble, how can they have bad thoughts? Later in the day With such a big gap in the monthly schedule of a few taels of silver, everyone is unwilling to work hard. The lady has been doing housework for so many years, and she has much more money than you. She is not a stingy person, but I've never done this before." Yan'er said.

Shen Qinglan nodded, and patted Yan'er on the shoulder again, "I didn't expect you to be a good housekeeper, what you said makes sense."

"Miss is kind-hearted. I just want to do this because I am afraid that everyone will suffer. In fact, everyone in Shen's residence has enough food and clothing. If something happens to everyone in the future, it will be all right to help."

"Well, then...how much is appropriate?"

"In my opinion, in previous years, it was eight taels per person. This year, the young lady has added the title of township monarch, so I should give more. In our courtyard, each person is ten taels. Brother Ji and the others are really hardworking. They are 20 taels per person, and some things are sent out. For the others, three taels per person is enough. Da Furen must also reward, which is not a lot."

"It's reasonable and reasonable, so let's do this, but your 300 taels of gold must be accepted!"

Yan'er nodded with a smile, it's fine to accept it, it will come in handy in case of any emergency in the future.

"By the way, you and Yi Feng..."

Before Shen Qinglan finished her question, Yan'er hurriedly said: "Miss, don't talk about him, that guy is really crazy!"

"What's wrong?" She pretended to be ignorant.

"He! He, he, he..."

Yan'er's face was red to the ears, Shen Qinglan smiled and asked: "You and I are still secretive, talk quickly!"

"Miss, don't ask, that guy Yi Feng is a disciple at such a young age!" Yan'er said angrily.

"Huh? Disciple? Could it be that he... he has ulterior motives for you!?"

Yan'er touched her hot face in winter, and nodded embarrassingly.

"Oh... I just said that guy must have malicious intentions, why don't I hand him over to the little prince, and let the little prince send him to the palace to castrate him!" Shen Qinglan made an angry look, and said I want to go to the ink poetry hall.

"Don't, don't!" Yan'er hurriedly pulled her back, "Miss, he...he should just be joking, I only think of him as my younger brother, I never thought of anything else, he is still a child!"

Shen Qinglan couldn't help laughing, "What child, he is only two years younger than us. But I feel that he should not be joking, but sincere."

"Miss, why do you say that!" Yan'er let go of her hand and turned her head away.

Shen Qinglan turned to her, "Is Yi Feng okay?"

"It's not bad, but... I've always treated him like a child, and never thought about anything else."

"Yi Feng, I'm too impatient."

Shen Qinglan lay down on the warm couch, Yan'er pulled up the quilt beside her and covered her, sighed: "He thinks like that, I don't know how to get along with him in the future..."

"I think with Yi Feng's temperament, if you want to fall in love with someone else or marry someone else in the future, he will definitely fight that person desperately. Since you have met such a guy, you must be prepared mentally." Shen Qinglan said.

Yan'er nodded, she also agrees with this statement, Yi Feng is indeed such a person.

"If you really have no interest in him, you can continue to treat him as your younger brother, and wait until a few years later, he is still young anyway. But, do you really dislike him? Why do I think...you haven't awakened yet ?”

"Wake up?"

"Well, I think you haven't awakened to love and love between men and women. Maybe it's because you developed too late in this aspect. After another three to five years, you'll probably be fine."

After Shen Qinglan finished speaking, she glanced at Yan'er's very flat area and nodded.

Yan'er didn't notice her gaze just now, she just sat there upset.

"Okay, don't worry about it. Yi Feng must be a handsome guy when he grows up, and he can be called the most beautiful man in the world. You should be happy! You should hurry up and give out red envelopes. I'll sleep for a while." Shen Qinglan said.
