Chapter 731 - Comparison
So the gossip had always been about which other mansion received the largest amount apart from the Min Mansion. However, the Min Mansion was not on the top of the list this year. And…
"It is the Gu Mansion. Then the Min Mansion followed by the Prime Minister\'s Mansion. As for the rest, the amount of food is delivered based on the officers\' rank, so there is not such a huge difference," Sword One said confusedly.
Gu Chaoyan frowned slightly as well.
Gu Zhenkang was still working at Dali Temple, Gu Yunhe was still an assistant to Lord Ling, no one from the Gu Mansion was in any important station, so the reason why the King granted them the largest amount of the food was for the Phoenix Girl\'s sake. And the Gu Mansion would become even more popular after today.
Gu Chaoyan shook her head.
"Just forget it, let\'s eat," Gu Chaoyan said.
Sword One nodded and joined everyone for dinner.
The granted food was just a small thing they talked about. Everyone was in a good mood during the entire dinner time.
After dinner, the Guarding Year\'s End event started.
Gu Chaoyan was awake for a while before going to bed.
Qing and Sword One took turns in guarding the year\'s end.
When she got up the following day, it was bustling in the mansion.
Qing and Sword One had gotten the red packets ready, as Gu Chaoyan had told them to.
After breakfast, Gu Chaoyan delivered the red packets to each one of the staff, who received 30 yuan respectively. Gu Chaoyan was generous to everyone working at the mansion and never gave them a hard time. So when she finished delivering the red packets personally one after another, the staff were really startled.
When they worked for other mansions, even those big ones, they would only get no more than 2 yuan for red packets during the New Year\'s time. So when they worked for this mansion, they had not looked forward to receiving any more than that either, but their lady was extremely generous.
The money was almost the same amount of what they received within a year!
The staff whispered among themselves, saying that they would definitely work hard for Chaoyan.
Sword One looked at the staff in satisfaction.
She said nothing more, but turned to her Elder Miss.
Even she felt that she was lucky enough to serve Elder Miss. She was such a nice person!

New Year already arrived, but Princess Xunyang was still not found.
The King was in a hurry, but he did not dare to spread the news. He had gained grey hair over the New Year\'s time just from what happened with Xunyang. He just did not know what to do.
He did not want to make Zhou Huaijin an important person, so he did not want to have any discussion with him.
Although Princess Xunyang was not found, the time for the Spring Hunt was approaching.
Normally it was Zhou Huaijin and the officer of the ministers who made preparations for the Spring Hunt, and mostly it was the ministers who did all the work.
However, the King arranged for Lord Ling to handle the work this year, together with the ministers too. So when the Spring Hunt was around the corner… They had gotten all the preparations ready.
Zhou Huaijin hurried to the mansion and said to Gu Chaoyan. "Chaoyan, are you nervous about the Spring Hunt?"
Gu Chaoyan looked at Zhou Huaijin and did not understand what he meant.
Zhou Huaijin took hold of her hands and said, "You and I are not married, but we are already engaged.. Now everyone is comparing me with Lord Ling, and I don\'t think that you can avoid being compared to Gu Ruxue at the Spring Hunt."
