Chapter 67 Promotion
Nurse Qiu hesitated to speak, although the wife was very attentive to the girl, but after all, she was not a mother and daughter, she was a little worried that the wife would dislike the girl because the girl opened her mouth. It's just that the girl didn't meet with the eldest wife, and Mother Qiu didn't want to say too much, for fear that it would have a bad effect and provoke the relationship between their mother and daughter.
Mother Qiu was extra thoughtful. After going to Fuyun Courtyard, she went to see Mother Tian first, asked some gossips, and then said, "Miss got two more shops. In this way, she has four more shops in her hand. The shop and the two villages are just when we need manpower."
Mother Tian hurriedly said, "The two little hooves of pomegranate and cherry can't go back to the girl's house to do things. The wife also said that other things can be put aside first, and the picking of people in the girl's house can't be done for a moment." Delay, we can't let the girl be wronged. The nanny came just in time, to see if there is anyone in the wife's yard who is worthy of attention, move over there first, and then send it to the girl to choose when she looks back."
What the masters are thinking can be seen from the attitude of the servants.
Because of this, Mother Qiu felt relieved, and said, "Because of this matter, the eldest girl also sent a message, and asked to pick two of the eight second-class maidservants. I have already talked to the girl, Bailing is not bad, The other Yuqing is also safe. Turn around and make up two more from the third-class maids, and if there is someone on the wife's side, then go to the third-class maids to make up."
"In this way, the wife is relieved. It stands to reason that people like us, the people around the girl, should not buy from outside, but now, it is difficult to pick out a few good ones among the family's children, so I have to let people buy them." I went to Mrs. Meng to see if there are any innocent ones, and if I can pick one or two, I will be able to get them after noon today. If someone comes, I will definitely stick to the Yizhaoyuan first."
"Don't worry, the two girls who were sent away were forced in halfway. I have already prepared for today, and I can't let the girl take advantage of her."
"That's it."
Tian Nanny knew that Qiu Nanny's trip was definitely not just for the sake of the two maids.
The two talked for a while, and then Mother Qiu opened her mouth to explain the purpose of her visit, "The eldest girl really doesn't have any capable people in her hands now, no, when the eldest girl is in trouble, she can only think of the wife."
Grandma Tian knew Yuan's thoughts on weekdays. She was old-sighted, so she couldn't see through Nanny Qiu's thoughts. She was happy and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid that sister-in-law Qiu will make fun of me. I don't know how happy my wife is. You don't have to see your wife anymore. I will leave this matter to me and I will make an agreement with my wife. There are still a few capable accountants in front of my wife. I will call someone later and let the eldest girl choose one. Pleasing to the eye."
"That's good, I'll thank sister Tian first."
The two talked about their sisters before getting up and going back, naturally relieved.
The long room is already on the decline. If the eldest wife and the eldest girl are not in harmony, not only will the old lady laugh, but it will also be difficult to stand up. Now, the eldest girl is willing to watch and help the eldest wife, which is of course a good thing.
Nurse Qiu went back with ease, and at the same time she returned to Xie Zhiwei, she also told about the candidate for the first-class maid.
Xie Zhiwei was writing invitation cards, and after finishing all three, Zi Mo handed over a hot handkerchief. She wiped her fingers carefully, got up and sat on the pear wood chair beside the bed, and brought an emerald tureen , using the bowl cover to gently shake the tea leaves, the roots of Huangshan Maojian stand up, exuding a faint tea fragrance.
In Xie Zhiwei's yard, Madam Qiu takes care of everything up and down, and she is a good hand at training maids and daughter-in-laws. Xie Zhiwei doesn't need to worry about this.
As soon as Xie Zhiwei said it, Mother Qiu knew what she meant. The maid who bought it is no match for a child born at home. She doesn't know the rules and can't be ordered around rashly. In this case, it is necessary to buy some young ones for training.
For a family like the Xie family, it would be appropriate for the eldest girl to have a son from the family, but right now, neither the Yuan family, Nanny Qiu nor Xie Zhiwei have thought about choosing someone from the family.
Would rather buy outsiders.
Hearing that Xie Zhiwei was relieved, Mother Qiu hurriedly called Bai Ling and Yuqing to come in and kowtow to Xie Zhiwei.
These two maids are second-class maids, and Bai Ling is good at inquiring, and nothing about the family can be hidden from her eyes and ears. Because of this, Xie Zhiwei simply changed her original name and gave her the name of Bai Ling. name.
Xie Zhiwei remembered that Yuqing and Bai Ling came in one day. At that time, she was reading a book, and when she read "Wilds on the bank hang down golden threads, Yuqing and Yingying sing all the time", she gave this maid the name "Yuqing". With fair skin and clear eyebrows, she feels that Yuqing really matches her.
For the maids in Xie Zhiwei’s room, the monthly allowance for first-class maids is two taels, for second-class maids one tael, and for the rest, some cleaning maids only pay five hundred taels a month.
Yuqing and Bailing were naturally very happy, and kowtowed happily to Xie Zhiwei, and heard Xie Zhiwei say, "From now on, you will serve me personally, among other things, loyalty is the most important thing. After serving well, I will benefit in the future, so naturally it is indispensable." You are good."
Both Yuqing and Bailing knew this, the girl had not long ago let Sister Zimo share the money, not to mention anything else, each of their second-class maids had a lot of money, even the maids who cleaned the yard could be stained with it. Fog, what a great thing this is.
"Miss, slaves and servants must handle their errands well." Both Yuqing and Bailing expressed their loyalty.
Xie Zhiwei waved his hand and asked them to get up, "You all know the rules in the yard, you have to lead by example and set an example for the people below, besides, in my room, except for the mother and the four of you, no one else summoned, You are not allowed to come in and out at will. I didn’t need me to tell you about this rule, but I repeat it for you to remember.”
"Slaves, please remember!"
Yuqing and Bailing were about to kneel again, but Xie Zhiwei stopped them, "Go down with Mother Qiu, and do whatever errands you need."
Nurse Qiu divided the errands between the two of them, Bai Ling's errand was a little lighter, and Nurse Qiu gave her another handful of money, asking her to find out more about the family affairs, and if there was any news, she wanted to tell the girl.
Xie Zhiwei took a nap, and Yuan's heard that she got up, so she came over in person and said, "Mei Mei, you have two people out here, isn't there still a vacancy? In addition, there are fewer people on the sweeping table before." Individuals, there should be three people in total.”
After the Yuan family took over, some staff were transferred by Feng and Xiao. Seeing that there was a celebration banquet at home, Yuan planned to add some staff. It happened that Xie Zhiwei was also short of people, so he simply filled the vacancy together.
Saying that, Mother Tian had already brought Mistress Meng over, and this Mistress was really quick at work, leading more than 20 maids, the older ones were no more than twelve or thirteen years old, and the younger ones were only seven or eight years old, uneven.
One more!
