Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 242: Rich and powerful!

"Oh, what a distinguished guest! Master Ye is here to see my young master, right? Please come in. My young master just finished practicing martial arts and is in the study."

Steward Wei led the way enthusiastically. Shu Xiaoxiao: ? ? ?

What's going on? Why are the housekeepers a little abnormal now? This isn't her first time here, why is she so unusually enthusiastic this time?

What Shu Xiaoxiao didn't know was that the housekeeper of the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion was in a similar situation to the housekeeper Lin in her own mansion. In the entire Kyoto, they were the only two mansions with only one master. When the New Year came in other mansions, it would be as lively as possible. Not to mention the masters of the various courtyards in the mansion, the interpersonal relationships alone would keep them busy for a while.

Only in their two houses, the housekeepers live a leisurely life, almost like an old man. Master Ye is in another house, and the master in their house has a cold personality and doesn't care about these things.

If it weren’t for the decorations in the mansion, there would be no New Year atmosphere in their house!

The prince has a cold personality and doesn't like making friends. The relationships in the mansion are all with the same few families, and they haven't changed for years. He can sort them out in an hour, and all the gifts in the mansion can be delivered in two hours at most. The rest is just waiting to receive gifts. Anyway, no one will stay in the mansion for dinner.

When he is free, he is comparable to Butler Lin. Butler Lin is laughed at by others, but he doesn't even have the chance to be laughed at by others.

He has been serving the princess since he was a child, and now he follows the prince. He even has some face in front of the emperor. Not to mention the butler, even their ordinary butlers are only respectful when they see him, and no one dares to mock him.

But no one dared to do so, and he felt bored!

To put it bluntly, he may be more anxious for the prince to get married than the emperor and the marquis and princess. By then, with a mistress and a young master, the mansion will be lively and he won't seem like he is about to retire at any time.

It is definitely not his turn to interfere whether Prince Yun gets married or not, but this does not stop him from liking children!

Master Ye is one of the few people recognized by their prince. They usually welcome him very much, let alone now.

Look at how festive this red outfit is, it's obviously Chinese New Year. He's also bringing a white, tender, chubby little red dumpling with him. These must be the big and little fairies who have come to their house!

If he wasn't afraid of scaring Master Ye and the young master, he would have kissed, hugged and lifted the little fairy boy up high. He was so welcoming to Master Ye and the young master that, not to mention being enthusiastic, he even wished he could carry the little kid over there himself.

As soon as he reached the door, the housekeeper shouted excitedly: "Prince, Prince, Master Ye has brought a young boy to play with you!"

The old butler welcomed the two into the study. He was a little disappointed to see the prince in a dark brocade robe, so he had to look at the two young masters more to comfort himself.

Yun Qinghan was also somewhat helpless. Uncle Wei used to be the eunuch who followed the emperor and protected him since he was a child. Later, he followed him out of the palace and was often not at home. Uncle Wei was not willing to rest all the time, so he became the housekeeper of the mansion and helped to handle the affairs of the mansion.

He has always regarded Uncle Wei as his elder. Uncle Wei usually abides by his duties and is unwilling to overstep the mark. Only during festivals would he be a little more outgoing.

When he saw the bright red brocade robe this morning, he knew it must be Uncle Wei's idea, but he was already grown up and could not accept this color.

Seeing that Uncle Wei liked this little kid so much, Yun Qinghan directly asked Uncle Wei to stay in the study. If he liked the kid, he could watch him more and not focus his attention on him.

Shu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the butler acting like this in front of Senior Brother Yun. It seemed that Butler Wei was like this all the time, and that was normal. Maybe there was some happy event in the mansion?

Shu Xiaoxiao let go of Xiao Chenxi's hand, clenched her fists together, bent over and greeted him: "Happy New Year, Senior Brother. I wish you all the best in the new year, and may all your wishes come true and everything goes well."

After saying this, he put his hands together, palms facing upwards. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. After two days of extra training, Xiao Chenxi followed suit and said, "May all your wishes come true, and everything goes well. Happy New Year!"

After saying that, he chuckled and raised two of them, saying the same thing as his uncle.

Before Yun Qinghan could react, Butler Wei walked briskly to the antique shelf and took out a box. From Butler Wei's hand, it was obvious that the box was heavy.

Yun Qinghan looked at the box of little golden pigs. Well, no wonder Uncle Wei said that he might not be able to use them when he took it. Now he finally knew what was in the box.

The little golden pigs in the box are as big as half of Xiao Chenxi's hand. They are probably the largest little golden pigs in the silver shop. You should know that these little gadgets are given to the younger generations by the elders of wealthy families, like red envelopes. No matter how much, they are all for the sake of happiness.

Generally speaking, even Xiao Chenxi could grab a few of the golden melon seeds and golden beans, and the little golden pig was the largest, usually about the size of a quail, just for fun, but the one in front of Senior Brother Yun was definitely the largest. In terms of wealth and power, Senior Brother Yun was the best!

Yun Qinghan looked at the little golden pig in front of him and was a little skeptical. Was it because he hadn't used it for a long time? He remembered that the little golden pig was not so big, or was it because their family was particularly wealthy?

Steward Wei raised his eyebrows slightly with pride, he thought that these little gadgets made this year would have to stay in the warehouse and suffer losses, but this year their young master had a new junior brother, so he went to the silver shop specially to ask the master craftsman to make them according to the biggest mold. Their Dingbei Marquis Mansion was not short of money, so wouldn't this come in handy?

In the end, I can only say that the purse I carried was too empty. I had put away all the various small gold bars I had received at the General's Mansion before, but I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to play with them. Now my purse was empty. Uncle Wei had to fill it up slowly and even gave them a box.

Shu Xiaoxiao twitched her lips: "Uncle Wei, Uncle Wei, you don't need so much! This is too much!"

The little golden pig on Xiao Chenxi's body made him feel two inches shorter. He had to hold one in each of his two hands, and he couldn't hold the third one!

Steward Wei said with a smile: "Not much, not much, you can take it and play with it. Our prince doesn't like these things. Alas, this purse is too small now, it can't hold anything!"

Steward Wei thought for a moment, then covered the remaining little gold pig box and handed it to Huo Feng who was standing beside him. Huo Feng looked at Steward Wei's smiling face and took it in shock. This box is not light! It must be as much as his annual salary. Steward Wei is generous! This is a windfall!

"Guard Huo, when you send Master Ye and Master Shu back later, remember to bring this box of little golden pigs with you. Children love to play with them!"

Huo Feng: I knew it! I knew there is no such thing as a free lunch!

This is gold. Not only children like to play with it, adults like it more, especially adults like him. Well, he should wait for the reward tonight. That is what he deserves.

Seeing the prince nod, Huo Feng said respectfully: "Yes!"

Shu Xiaoxiao felt even more embarrassed. What should she do? They came empty-handed, which was fine, but they also brought things to take. Although they didn't eat or take anything at the same time, it was still embarrassing.

One or two of these things are tokens of love and joy, but if there are too many, people would think he is trying to get something for free!

Seeing that Shu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed, Steward Wei explained, "Master Ye, just take it with confidence. The Marquis and the Princess are not here. We don't have many people here. You can come over and play more often, and bring some popularity to our mansion."
