Song Wan Yue didn’t dodge and accepted both of their salutes, smiling and teasing, “You two, coming over so early to pay your respects, you don’t want me to give a big red envelope, do you?”
The owner smiled broadly and was about to say no, but changed his mind when the words came to his lips, “That’s natural, we’d also like to ask for a favorable thing, good luck for the new year.”
Lu Xing echoed with a smile on the side.
Song Wangyue was not stingy either, she turned around and went inside, took two red envelopes out and handed them to the two of them, they took them with a smile, not thinking how much money there would be, after all they had just received a big red envelope yesterday.
The others also heard the commotion and greeted the two men as they went to sit in the house, while Song Si also came out of the house.
When he saw him, Lu Xing stopped smiling and took a big step over to him, arching his head in the end, “Brother Song Si.”
Song Si gave him a hand, waited for him to stand up straight and led him to Song Shu’s side of the hall.
Just after he stood, Lu Xing gave another big salute, “Brother Song Si, I have come here today especially to say thank you.”
He thanked him for putting in a good word for him in front of the dean, so that he could still take the examination two years later; he thanked him for not stopping Song Wan Yue from using him, so that he could earn silver and spare the family’s worries.
Song Si knew about his work as a bookkeeper in the restaurant and gave him another hand to sit down, “Although you will only be able to take the exams again after two years, you cannot fall behind in your studies, I will go to see the dean the day after tomorrow, I will give him a word then, if you don’t know anything you can ask him, hopefully we can meet in the capital in two years.”
Lu Xing wanted to get up again to say thank you, but was stopped by Song Si.
The two stayed for two quarters of an hour and then left. After they got into the carriage, Boss Jin smilingly took out the red envelope and opened it. All these years he had only given red envelopes to people, but this was the first time he had received one. When he saw the silver tickets inside, he was shocked for a moment and was busy saying to Lu Xing, “Look at yours.”
Lu Xing also took out his own and opened it, and inside was also a silver cheque of a hundred taels.
“This ……”
The two looked at each other in surprise, and it was only after a long time that Boss Jin said, “If you are fine today, let’s go to the restaurant and work out what we can do in the coming year so that the proprietor can make more money.”
Once they had left, Song Wan Yue went back to the house and took the pile of red envelopes she had prepared, and without resting, she greeted Song Shen and went to set up the carriage, “Let’s go to the workshop.”
Song Shen understood that she was going to pay her respects to Master Chu, so he nimbly set up the carriage, dragged her to the workshop, opened the gate, drove the carriage inside, and closed the gate again.
The workshop was silent, and the clattering of the horses’ hooves was particularly loud.
Some of the guards from the Xiao residence heard it and came out to see, and when they saw that it was Song Shen coming, they said respectfully, “Good New Year, Second Young Master Song.”
Song Wan Yue opened the carriage curtain, and the guards immediately added, “Good New Year, Miss Song.”
“Good New Year.”
Song Wan Yue smiled and said back, gesturing for Song Shen to stop the carriage, she got off the carriage and handed over the pile of red envelopes she had prepared, “It’s New Year’s Eve, it’s a festive occasion, one for each person.”
The guards happily took them and shouted towards the courtyard, and a host of guards ran out, happily thanking them.
There was so much commotion here that Song and the others heard it and came out to look, just in time to see one of these guards holding a red packet in each hand, and they were envious, asking boldly, “Dongjia, do we have one?”
“Have what?”
Song Wangyue asked rhetorically.
Song Yi didn’t dare to answer.
On the contrary, Song San swallowed a great deal of saliva and fried his guts to answer, “Red …… red packets.”
“Why do they have?”
Song San’s brain turned quickly, immediately understood the meaning of Song Wan Yue, immediately shouted, “East home New Year’s good, wish the East home this year day into the gold, make a lot of money.”
As soon as he shouted this, the crowd followed suit.
Song Wangyue turned around and took down another pile of red envelopes from the carriage and gave them to Song San, “One for each of you, take them and share them.”
The rest of the men ran in with him, shouting as they ran, “Song San, the proprietor said one for each of us, you dare to swallow ours, see if we don’t fix you up?”
Song Wan Yue laughed and shook her head as she went to Master Chu’s courtyard.
The courtyard door was hidden, so she pushed it open and entered, and as soon as one foot hit the ground, she cheerfully said, “Master, I’ve come to pay my respects to you.”
With those words, she did not wait for Master Chu’s reply, so she entered the house with light footsteps.
The room was a little cold without a charcoal pot, but Master Chu seemed oblivious to it, sitting on a chair and wondering what he was thinking.
It was only when he heard Song Wangyue’s voice that he came back to his senses.
“Master.”
Song Wangyue walked to the table and extended her hand, “Get rich in the New Year, bring the red envelope!”
She smiled with her eyebrows and her voice was cheerful, Master Chu had a momentary trance, he was like this when he was her age, or more carefree than her, the king treated her more than his own sister even though he was not her real brother, if not, if not ……
“Master?”
Master Chu closed his eyes, opened them again, the monstrous hatred in his eyes had been completely suppressed, got up, walked to the cabinet and opened it, took out a box from it and put it on the table and opened it, “What do you like, pick it yourself.”
Inside the box are all jewellery, there are gold, jadeite, ruby ……, exquisite workmanship, high quality materials, a look at the value of a lot of money.
Song Wan Yue is also not polite, picking a meal, picking out a pair of ruby beaded flowers to wear on their own head, bright eyes, “Master, good-looking?”
She was wearing a big red dress today, with a big red cloak outside, and with the red beaded flowers, she looked like a fortune doll, very festive.
“It looks good.”
Master Chu finished his reply and frowned, closing the box and putting it back in the cupboard, and taking out another porcelain vase from the cupboard and placing it on the table, “It’s for you, you’ll need it later.”
That day when Song Wan Yue came over, Master Chu smelled the medicine on her body, after a few days, the smell of medicine was still there, so she must have been hurt badly, if she didn’t say anything, Master Chu would just pretend he didn’t know.
“This ……”
Hearing the wrongness in her tone, Master Chu looked at her.
Song Wangyue pulled out a porcelain vase from her arms and placed it on the table, exactly the same as the one Master Chu held out.
Master Chu’s scarred face changed for a moment, “Who gave you that?”
“Sister-in-law’s brother, when Sister-in-law was injured, his brother gave me a bottle of medicine, I thought it was good and I kept it after Sister-in-law didn’t need it, but Master, where did you get this bottle from?”
Saying that, he picked up the take a bottle given by Master Chu and opened it, smelling it, “The medicine is the same, this is too much of a coincidence, Master where did this bottle come from?”
Master Chu had returned to his normal self, “A friend gave it to me, I’ve never been able to use it.”
Song Wan Yue nodded, as if she believed her, but suddenly the conversation turned, “Master can you introduce this friend of yours to me, the golden wound medicine he makes is very good, I would like to give him a lesson, and also make some to sell, it will definitely make a lot of money.”
