Mei Hong explained, "I just recovered from my injuries and didn’t do much work today. I don’t have the face to take this reward."
Mrs. Zhang also said, "I’m just here to help. I’m not a shop assistant. This, this doesn’t make sense. I didn’t do anything."
However, Gu Yundong stuffed the silver into their hands. "Take it. I know how much work you’ve done. Don’t push it around. It’s getting late. Go back after taking the reward."
The two of them looked down at the silver in their hands and pursed their lips. They looked at Gu Yundong gratefully.
It was indeed getting late. After distributing the money, Gu Yundong gave them a few words of encouragement to boost their morale and let everyone go back.
"Go back and rest well today. You might be so busy tomorrow. Be mentally prepared."
Mrs. Yu smiled until her eyes curved into crescents. "We can’t wait to be so busy. With work like this, we can also get paid."
The others nodded vigorously.
Gu Yundong was very satisfied with the atmosphere. These people were all hardworking. As long as they worked hard, she would not mistreat them.
Everyone left New Tea Pavilion one after another. Nanny Xia was the last.
Gu Yundong and Madam Ge looked at each other, then took out a red seal and stuffed it into her hand.
"Boss, you..."
This time, it was Madam Ge who spoke. "You’ve been working the hardest these days. Mei Hong and the rest have been busy all day and didn’t make any mistakes. It’s all the result of your training for the past month. You’re the biggest contributor. You deserve it. Take it. I’ll have to trouble you with the shop in the future."
The red seal was thin, and there should be banknotes inside.
Nanny Xia was silent for a moment before finally accepting it. "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this shop for you."
Nanny Xia had never thought that she would one day become a shopkeeper.
This feeling was very novel. Previously, when she was training the female workers in the Shao family, she did not feel it. Today, after staying in this shop for an entire day, that feeling of reality finally took root in her heart.
She actually felt that it was very fulfilling.
This feeling was even stronger than helping Noble Consort Gao avoid all the schemes and plots in the palace.
She liked this job very much. She thought that agreeing to Gu Yundong’s request might be her last and most important decision in her life.
Nanny Xia put away the red seal and left.
Gu Yundong and Madam Ge looked at the huge shop and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they walked out of the door.
There were two carriages parked outside. Shao Qingyuan and Qin Wenzheng were talking beside the carriage. When they heard the commotion, they looked up at the same time.
"Are you done? Get in the carriage."
Gu Yundong and Madam Ge bade farewell. After they got into the carriage, they drove in two different directions.
Gu Yundong leaned against Shao Qingyuan and closed his eyes in satisfaction.
After returning to the Shao family and having dinner, Gu Yundong could not wait to ask Shao Qingyuan, "Have you asked Qin Wenzheng? What did he say?"
Shao Qingyuan rubbed her head. After lying on the bed, he hugged her and pressed his chin against her forehead. "After all, Qin Wenzheng has just been transferred back to the capital. He doesn’t know much about the Gu family 20 years ago. In the afternoon, he went out and asked someone else, but he didn’t get much information."
The Gu family had indeed been exiled to the Lingzhou Prefecture.
It was a fact that the Gu family had committed crimes, so the decree given by the late emperor was not unjust for them.
