After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 202 Silver Reward

"Yes, it is safer to store money in the government treasury than in money houses." What Qi You didn't say was that it was basically impossible for ordinary people to deposit money in the government treasury. Most of the people who could deposit money there were officials and some wealthy businessmen, and those had to go through special channels.

And there is naturally no problem for the mother and son to deposit money into it.

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin nodded and said, "Okay."

In comparison, it is indeed safer to have an official presence.

So, Qiao Rongjin discussed it with his son and arranged the money.

Thinking that his son was now five years old and could not be without money, and that his son was self-consciously intelligent, Qiao Rongjin generously and confidently gave his son 20,000 taels.

Qi You happily accepted it. He liked the feeling of his mother giving him money to spend.

It naturally cost a lot of money to train people for him from Master Zhuying. However, after he came up with the idea, he took the money that his grandfather, grandmother and mother gave him, as well as the pocket money given to him by the Qiao family and others, and asked Master Zhuying to find a reliable and business-minded person to organize a caravan for him. He had met that person in person, and he was indeed a good person, shrewd but also loyal. After all, he was the benefactor who pulled him out of the trough, and he could not afford to offend his own identity. Both parties understood this.

Since the successful establishment of the caravan, it has grown to a small scale. Although it is not as big as those big caravans, it has also made some money. At present, it is enough to feed those people. However, when those people grow up, the current scale of the caravan may not be able to meet their needs. But as the trained people grow up, the caravan will get better and better. At present, they are involved in the textile industry, grain, fruits and vegetables, tea, ceramics, etc., but the scale is not large. You can't get rich overnight, so you have to do it slowly. Therefore, he is not worried about money and can be completely self-sufficient.

He hasn't let his mother know about this yet, but he will find a suitable time to tell her. He is still too young now, and these things are simply not something he can do now. They are not suitable for his age.

Qiao Rongjin was in a very good mood as she had such a large sum of money coming in all of a sudden, but the first thing to do was to store the money well, otherwise she would not be able to sleep peacefully at night. But it was too late today, so she could only deposit it tomorrow. So, Qiao Rongjin told Xiao Yuanzi and Qinglian to cover the lids, and then asked Zhuyun and Qinyun to move all four boxes into the room where she slept and rested. She was worried about putting them somewhere else.

Qinglian and Xiao Yuanzi were more nervous than her. After all, this was more than 200,000 taels of silver. They couldn't remain calm at all.

Qiao Rongjin was very happy today. She rewarded Qinglian, Zhuyun and Xiao Yuanzi with two hundred taels of silver each. Then she rewarded the maids who followed Yunshen Pavilion at the beginning, such as Qinyun, Zhuyun, Hongdou and Fuqiu, with one hundred taels of silver, and Mammy Wu with one hundred taels of silver. The rest of the servants who cleaned the house got thirty taels of silver each. She even remembered Zhuying, who was not around her all the time. However, she didn't see Zhuying often, so rewards were rare. Therefore, this time she gave him five hundred taels of silver directly and asked Qi You to give it to him. After all, he had taught her son martial arts diligently and responsibly.

The original idea of ​​asking Zhuyun to teach her son had long since disappeared, because after she mentioned it, her son refused, saying that Master Zhuying knew it all. Zhuyun also nodded frequently, so Qiao Rongjin gave up the idea of ​​asking Zhuyun to teach her son Qinggong.

These two people are one of the pillars of Yunshen Pavilion and are very useful. Naturally, she treats them differently from others.

Qinyun and the others had the gifts divided among themselves by Madam Wu, while Qinglian's gifts were given as rewards to the maids who came later to Yunshen Pavilion.

Qinglian's authority in Yunshen Pavilion was second only to the two masters, and was on the same level as Aunt Wu. As soon as she came in, everyone became much more well-behaved. However, on weekdays, although Qinglian was a strict person, she was also a good person, so everyone was smiling.

"Ahem, I'm here today because I have something important to announce." Qinglian deliberately became serious and glanced at the people in front of him.

Hearing this, everyone looked at her with confusion and a little uneasiness.

What made Sister Qinglian so serious? Everyone looked at each other.

Everyone held their breath and began to think about it. Could it be that they thought there were too many people in Yunshen Pavilion and they were too idle, so they planned to kick a few out? After all, they all knew that the maids in other courtyards of the palace had a hard time. They were busy from morning till night every day and it seemed that they never had a moment to rest.

As soon as they thought of this possibility, they became more and more uneasy.

They all liked Yunshen Pavilion very much. No matter the atmosphere or other aspects, they were unmatched by other courtyards. Most importantly, the master was generous and would give rewards from time to time. The work here was the most leisurely. Although the servants had some small thoughts among themselves, they were not bad people and it was comfortable to get along with them. Therefore, no one wanted to leave here.

"Sister Qinglian, what we did was wrong. Let's change it. Please don't kick us out."

"Yes, Sister Qinglian, we..."

There were quite a few people who had this misunderstanding, and everyone looked at Qinglian anxiously.

Seeing that everyone had different expressions and was getting a little nervous, Qinglian laughed out loud, "What are you thinking about? I was just teasing you, why are you so easily teased?"

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then said one after another, "How could Sister Qinglian be so mean? I was scared to death."

"It's not good, it's not good."

……

In an instant, smiles appeared on everyone's faces again. The uneasiness they had just felt had long disappeared, and they began to chatter around Qinglian.

"Then what's the matter with Sister Qinglian coming here now?" Usually at this time, Sister Qinglian is serving the master, and everyone knows it, so they are very confused.

Hearing this, Qinglian smiled and raised the bag in his hand, "Of course, I am here on the orders of the master to give rewards to all the beautiful ladies!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at Qinglian with raised eyebrows and smile in shock and joy.

"Another reward! Ah, Sister Qinglian, give it to me first!"

"Send it to me! Send it to me first! Sister Qinglian, me!"

……

Suddenly, the scene was as lively as a market. Qinglian enjoyed the fawning compliments from everyone. When she felt it was enough, she stopped them and said, "Okay, line up, we're going to start giving out the gifts!"

As soon as Qinglian finished speaking, several people consciously stood in a row, staring at her without moving their eyes. The two little maids who usually behaved more calmly also smiled, with excitement in their eyes.

They saw that the bag in Sister Qinglian's hand looked quite big. They wondered how much reward money was in it. Everyone was looking forward to it.
