Li Yu sat in Gu Lin's courtyard, drinking tea slowly.
"I opened the skylight to speak frankly. In the future, there will be no more incidents of foreign workers neglecting their masters. You can find out what happened to those girls."
"Take care of me and get money from me every month. If you are not convinced, you can try my methods. I am not a mother. I have a good temper and a kind heart, huh!"
"yes."
Everyone lowered their heads and no one dared to respond.
Yesterday, when the women entered the door, they tore up the girls, their noses and faces were bruised, and the master didn't do anything.
"I won't say much else. I know how to serve you. If you can't do it well, I'll continue to replace people until they are useful. I've made it clear that if you can't do a good job, you'll sell them to a kiln. I'm not easy to bully of."
Li Yu stretched out his right hand to look at his palm, and chuckled, "My hands hold knives. I walked all the way here from the capital and killed many people, and they were covered in blood. If you want to fight me, just let your horse come here. I'll take the offer."
The expression is domineering and majestic.
"Here."
"Take good care of my mother, I can't do without your benefits, and I won't treat you badly."
"I've always been a straightforward person. I can consider whether I do a good job as a dowry money or if my children want to come in and do things. If I don't do it well, I'll kill you."
Don’t talk about what you’re doing, think about it for yourself, if you have to ask me to order you to move, then you are unqualified.
It's not that the little girl just came here to learn skills, she doesn't know anything, she has been serving for many years, and she still doesn't know what she should do, you should die.
"Okay, I'm done, Aunt Yan, Aunt Xu, watch them and report to me anytime."
"yes."
Li Yu walked away.
Nurse Yan stood up and spoke, "My master's rules are very simple. Serve the eldest lady well and don't let the master worry about it. It is our fault as slaves that make the master feel uncomfortable."
"Then you can imagine what will happen to you. What should the three big girls be responsible for? Discuss it yourself, don't let the master bother. Others are responsible for cleaning the kitchen and assigning it themselves."
"Mother Xu, if there are any disobedient people in the yard, just come and tell me. From now on, the monthly bills of this yard will be taken from the public account, and the rewards will be paid from the young mistress, and every transaction must be recorded."
"To be clear, your monthly money will not be given by the eldest lady in the future, but by our young lady. Your future and life will also be controlled by our young lady. If you can't take care of it, you will sell it to Mobei Red Tent."
Nurse Yan is a stern person, with a serious face, and her stare is quite scary.
Everyone responded immediately.
"Okay, let's go."
Nurse Yan doesn't assign work, she thinks on her own, just to see who takes the initiative to work and take the initiative to serve Gu Linshi well, then she will be promoted and given money to Qiancheng, and if she doesn't do well, she will be dismissed.
Li Yu has always done this, he learned from the old lady and Mrs. Wang.
Slaves don’t need to teach hard, they only teach the rules of the family, the rest has to be learned by themselves, learn to take the initiative to work first, and let the master be satisfied that you can’t do without you, and praise you, this is what a servant should be.
It is the slave's fault to dissatisfy the master, whoever serves whom.
Your wealth and life are in my hands.
Those who will come to things and want to have a future will strive for performance by themselves, show their strengths, let others learn from them, let the master use her, and you can't do without her, so you can stand firm.
The three big girls saluted Mother Xu.
"Nurse Xu, the three of us are in charge of a stall, and I am in charge of embroidery and tea in the house."
"I'm in charge of making small snacks and desserts, and serving tea in the house to serve the master."
"I can read and write, so I can calculate accounts and record expenses, give rewards to servants, and serve my master when I travel."
"Okay, if we make any mistakes, you just beat and scold us, we are juniors who listen to you."
"It's nothing else. Madam eats vegetarian food and can't see meat, so I will definitely add an extra egg."
"We remember."
The three maids were selected by Madam Yan. They were the second-class maids in front of Li Yu. Now they are promoted to the first-class, and they come to serve Gu Lin. This is face and flattery.
Naturally, it is necessary to serve them well. The monthly payment is higher than before, and there are also many good rewards for serving them. It is indeed flattering them.
"I will settle the accounts, you will record the jewelry and re-register the register."
The three maids all do old jobs in front of Li Yu and know how to work.
When Mammy Xu saw that the three girls and the two nanny did not need to be reminded by others, they took the initiative to work, organized and smooth, and felt at ease.
Gu Lin came back, and at first glance, everyone changed.
"Are you new here?"
"Back to Da Furen, the three slaves and servants are the second-class maids in front of the young mistress, and they have been here for six years. This time, Da Furen is in need of someone to take care of her. The master promoted us to a higher level. From now on, we will serve in front of Da Furen. You just do what you want." We, the master said, if we are not good enough to serve, we will sell them all to the kiln."
The three girls knelt on the ground without saying a word and spoke thoroughly, leaving no way out for themselves.
"That's not enough. I don't have any important work. I just need to take care of the house. Don't talk nonsense outside. The mouth is important. I don't allow gossip. We are the family of generals, so we can't talk nonsense."
Gu Lin knows this very well.
"Mrs. Xie, this servant is a year older. The maidservant's name is Peony. This is Shaoyao, and she is Green Plum. Madam, you are tired. I will serve you to rest. Why don't you drink some green tea in hot weather? Today, the young mistress took Biluochun to give you a green plum." Try it, there is a lot of work in the yard, so the master left first when he was busy."
Peony got up, Shaoyao immediately handed over the wet handkerchief, she wiped her hands, and then stepped forward to support Gu Linshi.
Gu Linshi saw that it was really different, and his speech and attitude were different from before, but it was like the rules in the capital before.
"I still haven't finished drinking white tea before, drink that first, and save the good tea for entertaining guests. The house is no better than before, and we can't waste it extravagantly."
Gu Lin has already started to be frugal, saving money on food and clothing on weekdays, and consciously and quietly changed many extravagant habits.
"Okay, then don't leave it for too long, I'm afraid it will lose the fragrance of the tea."
"Ma'am, the young mistress brought two pots of flowers, and the servants put them in the main hall, okay?"
Shaoyao came up to ask with a flowerpot in her hand.
"This camellia is so beautiful, put it in the house."
Gu Lin smiled happily.
"Okay, I'll put it on for you, do you think it's suitable?"
"well."
Gu Lin's first impression of the three girls was very good.
Peony tea was served, and Gu Lin picked up the teacup and blew on it, taking a sip, and immediately showed a satisfied smile.
Nurse Xu came in with a cup of dessert. Gu Lin was a vegetarian and was prone to hunger. He ate two meals a day, with desserts and snacks in between.
"The young mistress arranged for two mothers to make vegetarian food and snacks. Today is a new product. You can try it. We will have good luck in the future."
"The child is too tired, but I am a fool, and I am burdening her. The people in our yard are not allowed to mess with Yu'er. If I know, I will tell my father-in-law and punish you severely."
Gu Lin is grateful for everything Li Yu has done for her.
"Don't worry, the old slave is grateful to the young lady, and will never do such a thing."
Nurse Xu smiled.
