The next day, during the morning court session, the Emperor rewarded Gu Chengrui, King Xian and his son, Zhou Huaiming, and the others for their efforts in eliminating the traitors and settling the bandits.
King Xian, his son, and Zhou Huaiming got gold, silver, and jewelry. When it came to Gu Chengrui, he directly gave them the original King Rui’s residence.
After Zhou Ying received the news, she asked in disbelief, “Did you hear wrongly? King Rui’s residence is a five-entry mansion. It has nine large courtyards and a total of more than 600 rooms.”
“I didn’t hear wrongly. It’s probably because of Tiger and the others.
“It just so happens that it’s not far away. I want Tiger and the others to move a group of people over first. Firstly, it’s to look after the house there. Secondly, it’ll be more spacious for them to live here.”
“Alright, then you decide. Buy a few more maids to clean the house; don’t let the house fall apart.”
“Okay, I’ll go over and arrange it myself. Do you want to come along?”
“No thanks. I have to do the accounting for the restaurant and the manor at the end of the year. I’m busy these two days.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she gave him 10,000 taels of silver and let him make his own arrangements.
Zhou Ying continued with her accounts.
On the afternoon of the 30th, the total income of the restaurants and workshops in the countryside was also out. The total income was 1,080,000 taels of silver.
Sun Hongliang’s cake shop also gave her 333,000 taels of silver.
This made Zhou Ying feel as if she had suddenly become rich.
With a stroke of her pen, she gave Niu Fugui and Sun Hongliang a thousand taels each.
As for the managers of the various restaurants, the heads of the various villages, and the main technical staff like Uncle Nian, they received a hundred taels each.
The waiters in the restaurant and the long-term workers in the manor (including Tiger and the others) received ten taels each.
The maids and servants in the manor received two taels each.
Everyone was naturally satisfied with the reward, especially Niu Fugui and Sun Hongliang.
They didn’t expect her to reward them with 1,000 taels of silver, equivalent to their monthly salary for a year.
After Gu Zheng heard the news, he was also amazed by Zhou Ying’s generosity. However, this also made him more determined. At least, she would not exploit him for nothing.
Gu Chengrui came back and asked with a smile, “Miss, do I get a reward too?”
“You’re not working for me. If you want a reward, you’ll have to ask the Emperor.
“However, I’ve prepared a red packet for you during the new year.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she handed it to him directly.
Gu Chengrui took it curiously. He opened it and took a look. There were 2,000 taels of silver notes inside. He immediately smiled.
Zhou Ying rolled her eyes at him and gave him another red packet. “This is for Cheng Lin. You can give it to him.”
“You’ve thought it through. I’ll go over now.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he carefully put away his red packet and went to Gu Chenglin’s courtyard.
He saw him cleaning his room in his courtyard and asked, “Why are you doing it yourself?”
“I would also do it myself when I was in the academy. I’m used to it.”
“That’s good. You can take care of yourself. In the future, you can live without servants.
“You can also learn to cook a few dishes you like to eat when you’re free. That way, you can make them yourself if you want to eat them. You don’t have to ask for help.”
Gu Chengrui handed him a red packet. “It’s the new year. Your sister-in-law and I are giving you some money.”
“Thankyou, cousin and sister-in-law.”
“You’re welcome. Change into new clothes later. We’ll stay up for the New Year tonight.” Gu Chengrui turned around and left after he finished speaking.
After he left, Gu Chenglin opened it and took a look. There was a banknote worth 1,000 taels inside.
Although he did not lack silver, he still treasured this banknote and kept it carefully..
