The newly promoted maids are not available for the time being, and are assigned light tasks. In addition to familiarizing themselves with their future jobs in various courtyards, the most important thing is to learn the "rules" before lunch and dinner every day. .

At each meal, a different mother-in-law will teach them the rules. In addition to the etiquette of walking, sitting and lying, and the skills to serve the master, the training is most useful for the master. The most talked about is loyalty.

Apply both soft and hard, soft grinding and hard soaking...

The old woman with gray hair but meticulously combed her hair stood in front of the dining table, and a group of maids stood under the corridor. They had to stand upright to listen to their daily homework, and they could only go to eat after being asked questions by the old woman.

"My family will save you from being homeless. You will have fruits and vegetables every day, and there will be rewards according to the seasons. There are many young ladies from small families outside who may not live as well as you. Therefore, you must put your own honor and disgrace with the honor and disgrace of the country's government." As long as you are loyal and work hard, the master will naturally remember your kindness."

This is soft.

"If there is such an act of cheating that damages the reputation and face of the Duke's Mansion, don't blame the Second Mistress for her iron fist and hard-hearted heart. If she is unlucky enough to end up in such a dark brothel, the sky will not respond to her and the earth will not work. "

This is hard.

Zhao Liu was noncommittal about this. This process looked a bit like Pavlov's dogs. They were asked to review the rules of servanthood before eating. Over time, even the toughest bones can wear out servility.

She also had several short-term internships during her schooling, and she knew that bosses liked this the most. Part of the boss's job was to be a PUA subordinate, to the point where everyone would be willing to live and die for him without even bumping into a big wall. The degree of blinking.

Feudal society was no less generous.

But now she has no choice but to hope that she can leave here before her servility is tempered. Before that, she can only listen with open ears. Zhao Liu thinks that she has done these wheel rules very well, but it is not that she has much professional ethics. Noble, just because you are getting a salary from someone else, you should naturally do things in a down-to-earth manner.

What's more, how generous is Rongguo Mansion? It's ten times better than those small bosses who only draw cakes without paying any money! She has only been here for a month, and she hasn't even paid her monthly salary, and she has received bonuses twice.

Although he only had a few dozen pieces of writing, he couldn't resist adding up the little and adding up. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Zhao Liu was full of energy.

I don’t know how much money I need to save to get out of citizenship.

After lunch that day, as usual, I carried a bamboo basket to take care of the fallen branches and leaves in the middle of the garden. I heard someone gossiping from a distance.

"It's a lively day today. The old lady's granddaughter, Miss Lin, came to our house. After hearing about it, she stayed here."

Ah, Zhao Liuyi saw everyone busy early in the morning, so she just thought there was some kind of celebration, but it turned out that today was the day when Lin Daiyu entered the Jia Mansion!

Her heart was aroused. As for Daiyu, she didn't even finish reading The Red Mansion. She knew that she was a real rich lady and an aristocratic woman. It was a pity that her health was really bad.

This was the first time he was so close to Miss Qianjin, and Zhao Liu was a little curious about what the Langyuan Fairy Flower in Cao Gong's paintings looked like.

So I took advantage of my small body to pick up dead branches and listen to some women chatting beside the rockery.

"But Miss Min's daughter? She married into the Gusu Lin family?"

Zhao Liuyi was still confused about these names. After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered that Daiyu's mother was the biological daughter of Shi Taijun, the short-lived Jia Min who died a few years after her marriage.

"It's her. I heard that Miss Lin is deeply loved by her parents. How could she be willing to let her child live in our Rongguo Mansion?"

In ancient times, clan upbringing was the most important thing. Daiyu was still young and her parents were gone, so she had to be sent to her maternal grandfather's house, not only to have relatives to take care of her, but also to make plans for future marriages. Zhao Liu cursed in his heart.

"Oh, are you new to the house? We, Miss Min, are here. This is how the old lady shows pity for her granddaughter. She takes care of her children when she comes to her. After all, how can a father personally educate his daughter?"

"Oh, how pitiful, at such a young age..."

Following the creak of the door opening and closing, the servants chatting there dispersed like gulls in a hurry.

"Miss Qianjin wants you to be pitiful! Finish your work quickly, there will be a reward in the yard today!"

reward!

Zhao Liu looked shocked. Xiao Douding, who had eaten enough for more than a month, was no longer the poor boy with a sallow face and skinny muscles.

Although the thick cotton jacket cannot cover his thin body, his face has a lot of brilliance. Zhao Liu has an oval face, almond-shaped eyes and a delicate and straight nose between his lips. If his complexion is slightly better, he looks quite childish.

, very pitiful.

I saw her carrying a bamboo basket and picking up dead branches from a row of flower beds. These flowers and trees were taken care of by dedicated people. All they had to do was daily maintenance. It was almost time to put out the meal.

, she estimated the time and walked back leisurely with the basket.

He dumped the dead branches and leaves in the woodshed, and was about to go to listen to the training first, and then go to collect the monthly payment after dinner.

The salary will not go away.

I was seizing the time to walk to the servant's dining room. After a few steps, I saw Zhang San, who was familiar to me. Zhang San had the same copper dragonfly clip on his head and was standing at the edge of the flower bed, looking around.

As soon as Zhang San saw Zhao Liu's figure, he saw her running over and holding her arm.

"Oh, why haven't I gone back yet? I'm looking for you! Hurry up, my cousin is coming to the house today, and the second mistress has added a reward, which will be given out together with today's monthly payment. Go get it quickly, or you will be late if you get there.

No reward left!”

tips!

Now there was no temptation to even eat. Zhao Liu put the basket on his shoulder and asked, "Seriously?"

After saying that, he lowered his head and looked for his waist tag. The rules of the house require that maids and slaves must bring their waist tags when they are on duty, so that the master will not recognize people and call them by their names. This is also their work ID card, which provides them with basic necessities, food, housing, transportation, wages, and insurance.

The benefits are all based on the waist card.

"Good sister, hold it for me. I'll go get the monthly payment and treat you to a cloud cake tonight!"

"Hurry up, we'll have lunch in a quarter of an hour!" Listening to the voice behind him, Zhao Liu raised his hand and waved it without looking back.

There was no one around, so she broke the rules and started trotting with her legs in full swing.

Workers cannot miss any bonus!

Go out from the Garden Corner Gate, pass through the Chaoshou Veranda, then pass by the South Corner Gate, and enter where the Rong Mansion's warehouse is located.

It is also where wages are paid.

Although servants are often ordered to come in and out, for a handyman like Zhao Liu, the warehouse is a place where the door is only opened once a month.

Stand in front of the door.

I saw maids and women going out together in twos and threes, and only two people were left in line to receive their monthly payment.

When the maid at the end of the queue saw Zhao Liu, although she had never seen him before, she felt extremely friendly. She came over and took Zhao Liu's hand, and the eldest sister welcomed her in.

The maid in charge of the money box next to her was about to put away the small scale used to weigh the money. She was about to leave.

No wonder this person is so kind, it turns out he has such a savior.

There is an unwritten rule among the maids. When receiving monthly payment, the last person is considered as delaying the accounting girls from paying their bills, so they have to spend a little money to treat everyone to tea.

Otherwise, people will scold you behind your back for not knowing the rules.

It's just that today's reward is not enough for tea. Zhao Liu breathed heavily, knowing in his heart that his happiness was in vain.

The maid at the top looked at her waistband and wrote something down on the paper. When she raised her head, she looked at Zhao Liu's appearance with a calm eyebrow, and nodded sideways.

Someone nearby counted a bunch of big money, took it apart, put a handful on it, and handed it to Zhao Liu.

salary!

Fresh wages!

"The master's family is happy today, the old lady is happy, and the second grandma is kind. The monthly salary will be increased by 10% for each person!"

Some people cheered.

Zhao Liu felt like he was holding a bitter melon in his heart.

Why did Zhang San have those long ears? Everyone obviously has a share, but she said it was the same as first come, first served!

No matter how unhappy he was, he still had to show off his dignity in the workplace. Zhao Liu happily counted the money in his hands, then took off another handful and held it in his hand.

"I'm sorry, sisters, I actually delayed your meal! It's my first time to receive monthly payment, I don't understand the rules, and I'm late. I have troubled my sisters to stand in this cold weather for so long waiting for me, so I'll treat you to a meal.

Warm yourself up with some hot tea, and you won’t do it again next time!”

Zhao Liuren is young, fair-looking, and has a playful smile that makes him inexplicably cute when he makes jokes.

She rolled her eyes and saw the five financial people coming in and out. She put 30 cents of the two hundred cents in her hand back into the box and said politely.

The person in charge of finance is a more dazzling existence than the master. Not only must he not be offended, but he must also find ways to build a good relationship with him.

When everyone saw the little girl bowing and giving money for tea, the original displeasure of working overtime was wiped away and they began to laugh.

The maids didn't care about the amount of money. Anyway, it was a reason, and they were getting money every month. After receiving the tea money from Zhao Liu, their attitude towards her became a little more relaxed.

"Look, we have such a smart Dou Ding in our house. In which courtyard are you serving him?"

Zhao Liu was heartbroken when he saw that they had divided thirty copper coins. Originally, the maid in front of her should have paid for the tea, but who would have thought that he was the "Fu Gen'er" who pressed the bottom of the box, but now it seems that he can be in the financial position

Thirty cents is nothing to leave your name in front of the boss.

"I'm not as good as my sisters. I'm currently working as an errand in Huifang Garden and live in a group house in the east courtyard. My sisters can come over and have tea when they are free."

When everyone saw this, they laughed even more wildly. They thought this little bean was very cute when she spoke in adult language, and they all teased her. What kind of tea can she serve them?

Zhao Liu was in great pain now. She had only been in Rong Mansion for more than a month. Where could she have any tea to entertain guests?

It was the first time that wages were paid, because Zhang San, who was lame in ears, had to take ten yuan out of his own salary, not only that the reward was gone.

God knows that what I usually drink is boiled well water.

In an instant, she realized that she was living in a house shared by six people. The space was so small that she couldn't even place a table, and these maids were teasing her.
Chapter completed!
