Chapter 547 New Year Supplies
Every employee can receive five pounds of pork, a piece of cloth, two jars of Weizhiyuan snacks, and an extra month's bonus as a year-end bonus. Such benefits are really enviable!
When the employees learned the news, they were very excited and grateful. This was a generous reward they had never expected, and it was also an affirmation and encouragement for their hard work.
Everyone expressed their willingness to work harder to repay Zheng Sisi's trust and care.
Zheng Sisi's actions not only won the hearts of the employees, but also made several other people look at her with admiration.
They realized that Zheng Sisi was not only a smart businessman, but also a leader who knew how to care for employees and was good at managing a team.
In this highly competitive business environment, gaining the support and loyalty of employees is the key to a company's success.
After paying out the year-end bonus and benefits, Zheng Sisi could rest for a few days. After returning home, she asked Butler Chen and Nanny Li if there were any employees in the mansion who wanted to go home for the New Year. They could also take a few days off and return to work on the fifth day of the first lunar month.
The two asked around and found out that all these people said that they were bought into the mansion and didn't want to go back home. They might even cause trouble for the princess if they went back, so they all wanted to stay in the mansion for the New Year.
Zheng Sisi didn't expect this result. Nanny Li didn't want the princess to think that everyone was ungrateful, so she helped explain to everyone.
"This is actually quite good. They are all grateful to the princess for buying them. Some families were forced to sell their children, while others did it on purpose. After leaving home, they have been resold many times and have seen the cruelty of reality. It's okay if they don't want to go back. I have also inquired about it. Those who have found their homes have brought back some money, so the princess doesn't have to worry about them."
Hearing what Li Ma said, Zheng Sisi was relieved. Aren't there many people in the same situation as her? Just like when she left Xie Mansion, although she was no longer the original owner, the actions of Xie Mansion were indeed very hurtful.
The reason why Zheng Sisi is close to her maternal grandparents is that she remembered how good her maternal grandparents were to her in the original owner's memory, but she was hurt by the original owner. She repaired this relationship for the original owner and also gave herself a place to stay in this strange world.
Zheng Sisi didn't want to recall the unbearable past, she said: "Okay, since everyone is willing to celebrate the New Year in the mansion, then let's celebrate the New Year happily. Prepare more food, and Nanny and Butler Chen help me prepare more red envelopes so that I can give out New Year's money."
Nanny Li happily agreed, saying that the princess was good at making money and was generous, so she would give everyone a big red envelope during the New Year. She hurried to find Butler Chen.
Zheng Sisi brought a few maids back to the courtyard. Chuntao and Xiahe were still sorting out the account books. Zheng Sisi shook her head and lamented, "What a miserable life! What a toilsome life!"
Rose and Lily covered their mouths and laughed at the back. The princess acted like a hands-off boss and laughed at others.
On New Year's Eve, the emperor held a palace banquet, and all third-rank ministers had to bring their families to attend. Zheng Sisi was a princess, so she was also invited, so she didn't have to have the reunion dinner at home.
Zheng Sisi instructed the kitchen that today's reunion dinner must be sumptuous. It was the first New Year's Eve dinner in the mansion, and they must eat well and then wait until she came back in the evening to stay up together and give out red envelopes for New Year's gifts.
Everyone was very happy to hear this, and they were busy cleaning the house the whole day, pasting up couplets, cutting window flowers, hanging red lanterns, and decorating the house to create a Chinese New Year atmosphere.
In the afternoon, Zheng Sisi entered the palace with Sheng Zhen. This time Sheng Zhen also brought Rose and Lily with him. Zheng Sisi was very puzzled and asked Sheng Zhen what was going on.
Sheng Zhen smiled and said, "Palace banquets are very dull, but there are also some people who do small tricks at palace banquets and bring maids with them just in case."
Zheng Sisi thought of the palace banquets described in novels and TV dramas. It was indeed true that some people did a lot of small tricks for some purpose. She didn't want to be the target of other people's calculations, so she accepted Sheng Zhen's kindness.
At the gate of the palace, carriages from various mansions lined up in a long queue waiting to enter the palace. When everyone saw the third prince's carriage coming, they all made way to let his carriage go first.
Emperor Yongshun is still young and strong, so he has not yet appointed a crown prince. The three adult princes have been granted residences outside. The eldest prince and the second prince were both born to concubines and are also unknown.
The third prince Sheng Zhen was born to the former queen and is the legitimate prince. He also has military merits. Although he handed over the military power to the emperor after returning to Beijing and did not seek a position in the court, he is also the emperor's most beloved prince.
Regardless of anything else, just because of his status as a prince, these people have to give way to him.
Their carriage had just arrived at the palace gate, and before they found a place to park, the guards came forward to salute.
