The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Whether the servants in the east courtyard see them as diligent or lazy, the master actually sees it.

No, they had secretly laughed at the cleaning team and the two maids in the laundry room, as well as Mrs. Jiang in the kitchen who cleaned up the stove ashes and transported them to Bagua Tian.

What's the use of working hard? If they are so ugly, their masters won't let them wait in the house and rise to the third-class maid.

Mrs. Jiang is even more hopeless. She is already old, still hunched over, and there is an ugly burn scar on her face. When the old man passed away, the candlestick in the mourning hall overturned. It was late at night, although she was kneeling. There were many people in the mourning hall, but everyone was so sleepy that they didn't notice that a candlestick in the corner had overturned. By the time they discovered it, the candlelight had spread and was running along the white flags to the beams and the roof.

It was Mrs. Jiang who rushed to put out the fire regardless of the danger, so that the entire mourning hall was not turned into a sea of ​​flames.

But she herself was hit by the burning white flag.

Out of gratitude, the old lady said that no matter whether she married or not, the Xue Mansion would provide for her in her old age.

But as time went by, the old lady gradually forgot about this person. Mrs. Jiang herself was not good at words. She often felt inferior because of the scars on her face and walked with her chest hunched over. She did not dare to raise her head and look directly at people. Over time, her back became Also hunchbacked.

Another person might think of herself as the benefactor of the Xue Mansion because of the matter of putting out the fire, but Mrs. Jiang did not. And because of this ugly scar on her face, she did not like to show her face and would hide wherever it was clean.

After the eldest son fell into coma, young maids with good looks and high aspirations no longer went to the east courtyard desperately in recent years. The east courtyard was short of manpower, so Mrs. Jiang came to the east courtyard voluntarily. In the past few years, she was responsible for washing the royal buckets. Xu Yin After entering the house, they tidied up the small kitchen and sent away the Shaohuo woman who was lazy in cooking and cheating. After consulting with Mrs. Jiang, she was placed in the small kitchen.

The task of cleaning the toilet bowl was given to the stronger boy.

However, this is probably the hardest job in the back house. It is not only tiring, but also extremely dirty and smelly. Therefore, Xu Yin discussed with her mother-in-law. On the basis of a fixed monthly salary, she planned to spend some money herself to give the servants in this position some extra money. money, and an additional cold and heat subsidy will be given in winter and summer, similar to high temperature subsidy and low temperature subsidy.

How could Zhong Minhua ask her to pay for this money? It would be up to her, the mother-in-law, to pay for it.

But giving money is a trivial matter, not to mention adding not much. Compared with the rewards that the maidservant in her house gets from time to time, this little money is really nothing. Zhong Minhua is worried that if this happens, other servants will not Any opinions?

Any comments?

If you really have any objections, just register with her. If there are many people, they will take turns emptying and washing the buckets to earn this "high salary". She welcomes it very much.

Sure enough, when she was assigning tasks to everyone, she took the initiative to mention this matter. Except for the boy who was responsible for washing the bucket, the other servants all looked at their noses and hearts. No one said anything, and they tried their best to hold back their opinions. Hold it back, lest you be assigned by the eldest mistress to pour and clean the respectful buckets.

They are not jealous at all of this high salary!

But when Mrs. Jiang, the two maids who served as messengers, the tall young boy who washed the bowl, and others received the "hard work award" from the eldest mistress, everyone was jealous!

Each person actually had one tael of silver!

The maid who was a rough messenger didn't even have one tael per month, but she actually got one tael in reward!

Altogether, it’s more than the monthly salary of a first-class maid.

The boy in charge of Gongtong is also beaming. With this reward, he can get three taels of silver this month. Who would have thought of it before?

The happiest thing is not only that he gets more money. In the past, he was clumsy and stupid, and was always laughed at by others for being "all tall but not heady." He also worked carefully and was often praised by the eldest mistress. This time he was awarded the Diligence Award, which attracted the attention of many maids, including the one he liked, which made him involuntarily puff up his chest.

The eldest mistress is right: there is no distinction between good and bad types of work, the only difference lies in whether the people who work are attentive. As long as you work hard, blessings will come sooner or later.

His good news is about to come! Not only did he receive praise from the eldest mistress and a reward of one tael, but he also saw "her" smiling at him!

"...The above are the winners of the first Diligence Award selected by our East Campus. If you didn't receive the award this time, don't be discouraged. There will be one every month in the future. As long as you work hard at the job at hand, everyone will have it. Chance."

Xu Yin said a few words after awarding the prize, and then asked everyone to line up for the draw.

Seeing that her mother-in-law seemed to be very interested in the lottery, Xu Yin simply invited her concubine, concubine, concubine, and two aunts to Lanyueju, where the boss and employees could experience the lottery together.

The excitement in the east courtyard spread to the west courtyard.

After the second lady sent someone to inquire, she was so angry that she fell down.

"Okay! This is using the money given by the old lady to please the servants!"

The second lady, who was already jealous of the money, thought she had caught the East Courtyard, and immediately went to Rong'an Courtyard to complain to the old lady.

"Mother, look, isn't it outrageous to do what the East Courtyard did?! Out of good intentions, you agreed to let them build a glazed greenhouse, but the greenhouse didn't even have a shadow yet. Instead, you spent money to coax the servants .Isn’t it their duty for the servants to work hard? Why do you pay rewards just for this little thing? My sister-in-law is really getting more and more confused as she works harder!"

The old lady has also been drinking the herbal tea given by Xu Yin recently, and her sleep quality has indeed improved a lot. She has a good impression of Xu Yin, her eldest granddaughter-in-law. What's more, she doesn't think that her eldest daughter-in-law is such a confused person and would not listen to rumors. It was Yudi who convicted the eldest daughter-in-law and his mother-in-law on the spot, and only asked the person waiting in front of him to go to the east courtyard and invite the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to come and ask.

Zhong Minhua guessed what was going on on the way here. He was afraid that the news of bonuses being awarded to servants in the East Courtyard had reached the ears of the old lady. When he arrived at Rong'an Courtyard and saw his sister-in-law, he became even more enlightened. Mirror, immediately stepped forward to explain:

"Mother, your daughter-in-law will never use the money you allocate for us to build the glazed greenhouse carelessly. Today, we did give some reward money, but it was the dowry money that Yinyin used."

"Ah? Yinyin paid for the dowry? How can this be done! Our Xue family is not that poor."

The old lady was always shy. After hearing this, she immediately had her money box brought to her and asked Xu Yin how much she had paid. She would pay for it.

Xu Yin smiled sweetly: "Old lady, my granddaughter-in-law did this voluntarily, and it's not much. The people below work hard and do a good job without being told. This is what they deserve."

Having said this, she paused and looked at the Second Madam with a smile: "Second Aunt, do you also think this motivational method is good and want to try it in the West Courtyard?"

Not bad!

The second lady complained crazily in her heart:

Want her to use her dowry money to reward her? Don’t even think about it!

As for extending it to the whole government taking out the public servants... for every extra amount the public servants spent before the separation, she would get one less after the separation. Why should she take advantage of those servants?
