Qianqianjie, kidnap a reborn prince back to the modern era
Chapter 14: Competition for a Job (2)
“Whoever is qualified for this position can step forward.”
The five people looked at each other, with unspeakable embarrassment on their faces.
Qiao Nan stood straight and took a big step forward.
"Okay! Qiao Nan, stay and stand over here."
"There are three more positions left. You better listen carefully."
"The courtyard cleaner is responsible for keeping the Yingyue Residence courtyard spotless and watering the flowers and plants to ensure they are able to survive. The guest room cleaner is responsible for always paying attention to the hygiene of the guest room, cleaning and washing at any time to prevent any odor. The work of fetching water and chopping wood is relatively simple. It is just like what everyone thinks. Just replenish the dry firewood needed in the small kitchen in time and keep the water bucket full at all times."
"Now, please compete for these three positions."
"I work carefully. I can sweep the yard and take care of the flowers and plants."
Just as everyone was looking at each other in twos and threes, a little maid took a small step forward and spoke in a low voice.
"Okay, you stay and stand over here."
The little maid quickly lowered her head and stood over.
The four of them no longer hesitated, and rushed out of the line, saying hastily, "I have the strength to carry water and chop wood."
The four of them stared at each other, refusing to give in.
"All four of you think you are qualified for this position. All right, roll the dice and see who gets the highest number. Whoever gets the highest number will stay."
Yun Qianyou stopped their meaningless quarrel in time.
"Qiao Nan, bring the dice over here."
"Yes."
Qiao Nan entered the room and took out four small cubes with numbers engraved on them.
Several people were at a loss and no one dared to step forward.
"Qiao Nan, tell them how to play."
"Ok."
As he spoke, Qiao Nan picked up a dice, demonstrated it, and then handed it to the four people, one for each.
The four of them were undecided and nervous. They threw the dice in their hands carefully and watched the numbers rolling down, their faces filled with tension and panic.
"You stay and stand over here." Yun Qianyou pointed at the servant who threw the biggest number of points.
The servant lowered his head, walked quickly to the side of the maid who had stepped out of the line earlier, and stood beside her, then he let out a long sigh of relief.
"There is another position. Are you going to compete for it yourself, or will you also roll the dice to decide?"
Yun Qianyou asked the remaining three people.
The three of them hesitated for a while, silently picked up the dice, and threw them out gently.
"Okay, you stay." Yun Qianyou pointed to an old lady.
The old maid walked slowly to the servant's side and stood still.
"Okay. Now that the positions have been decided, let's talk about the rules of Yingyue Residence."
Yun Qianyou took a few steps and stopped under the old pear tree. Her slender figure was wrapped in a white cloak, making her look elegant and ethereal.
"No matter what kind of work you do, your original wages will not change. There is one thing I need to explain. The mansion has the same standard for Yingyueju and other courtyards. If the monthly allowance is paid on time, I will give you an additional equal amount of wages on top of your original wages, which will be considered as an extra reward from Yingyueju. Of course, I will only pay the same amount to those who have done the work. Those who don't have a position and have not contributed to Yingyueju will naturally not get extra wages. Of course, if the mansion cancels the monthly allowance for Yingyueju, then you won't get the most basic share. Did everyone hear this clearly?"
The three people competing for the position couldn't help but feel happy.
If the mansion pays monthly wages to Yingyueju according to the rules of each courtyard, they can get double the wages.
The other two had bitter faces at this time, worrying about what their ending would be.
There was no work to do in Yingyueju, and according to the rules, one could only stay in the house and was not allowed to go in or out at will.
They knew very well the Madam's attitude towards Yingyue Residence. She wanted to stay away from it and it would be impossible for them to pay the monthly salary. Then they would have no wages to get and would not be able to find out any news to report back. Now they did not dare to go back on their own, as that would be tantamount to asking for a beating. They felt very cold in their hearts.
Several people on the roof of the neighboring yard were stunned to see a frail little woman fooling the spy sent by the Prime Minister's wife as if it were a game. She had forgotten that she used to be a person of respectable status in the mansion and now she was scrambling to do a job that even the lowest servants despised.
"Cousin, this woman is extraordinary. She is truly a genius! And she is definitely a business genius! You must introduce her to me."
Sheng Xiaoge's eyes were shining at this moment, and he wanted to pull Cangyu and jump into the yard right now.
Cangyu watched Yun Qianyou playing tricks on a few servants as if it were a game. He felt like he was just trying out his skills and looked very proud of himself.
These days, he was worried about the difficult problems posed to him by His Majesty the Emperor.
The new appointment seemed to value him very much, appointing him as the commander-in-chief of the Gyeonggi Defense Camp, but in fact it was putting him on the fire.
Although he had been away from the imperial city for three years, it did not mean that he did not know who was in control of the five camps of the Capital Defense Camp.
The Xibohou Mansion controls the three camps and is a very difficult to shake existence.
My father gave him this tough task, probably because he wanted to use him to break the situation.
However, the power that had been built up over more than ten years was as solid as an iron barrel. As the chief governor, it would be harder than climbing to the sky for him to gain real power.
In his previous life, he was unable to solve this problem. He served as the governor-general in name only for less than two years. Later, he was demoted by his father, left Kyoto, and never returned.
It was precisely because of the constant internal friction in Dongcang that the country was eventually destroyed and the family was ruined within a few years.
In this life, today, he seems to have found a solution to this problem.
There was an unconcealable heat in his eyes as he looked affectionately at the figure in the next yard.
What kind of person is she?
How many more surprises will she bring him?
He couldn't wait to get closer to her, closer to her.
"Xiuzhu, stay. I want to know every move of this courtyard. Let's go to Beibohou Mansion now." Cangyu said.
After a short while, the news of the competition for jobs in Yingyueju spread throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion. The servants talked about it in a low voice, and were surprised that several second-class maids were scrambling to do the dirtiest and most tiring work. However, they were also glad that they were not chosen by Nanny Liu, otherwise they would have to rush to do such a job, or they would have nothing to do and no wages.
"What? Aunt Hua and Xiao Cui didn't get any work at Yingyue Residence?"
Mrs. Li listened to the servant's report and her eyes widened in shock.
"Madam, the second young lady organized a competitive job competition and put forward specific requirements for each position, allowing everyone to compete on their own. As a result, none of the people we sent got the job in the house." Chunyu said uneasily.
"Also, what is the name of the dish she mentioned? Who in the Imperial City has heard of it? Isn't that just embarrassing? How can there be such a dish?"
Yun Wanqing also heard about the arrangement made by Yingyueju more than an hour ago. She trotted all the way to Jinghua Pavilion and started complaining.
"Oh my! This little bitch is always up to something. She's only been here for two days, and she's already made the people we sent useless. We really underestimated her."
Mrs. Li rubbed her headache-inducing brow as she spoke, feeling vaguely uneasy again.
"Mother, please think of a way to make her live so comfortably in this mansion."
Yun Wanqing was so anxious that she was about to cry. She hugged Li's arm and shook her, which made Li even more headache and anxious.
"Notify Aunt Hua and Xiao Cui to come back. These two are useless."
"Yes!" Chunyu replied quickly.
"What about the other three? They just do odd jobs and have no access to the inner workings of Yingyue Residence."
She asked cautiously, not daring to look at the lady's face which was so dark that ink seemed to be dripping out.
"Let them stay for now, give them some instructions, and make them more active, so that they can be of some use."
Li said helplessly.
She didn't expect that she was just a little girl from a mountain village, so who taught her all these tricks?
"Mother, it seems that she can make a living on her own. This little bitch should have some savings, but how does she earn the money?"
From the details passed on by the maids, Yun Wanqing deduced that Yun Qianyou would not be like she thought, and would not give in after a few days of hunger. They opened a small kitchen in Yingyue Residence, and they also wanted to eat all kinds of dishes, which would only make her fat!
"Send someone to Anji Village in Anxi Town to inquire about her. She is now very different from what we knew before, both in terms of her temperament and abilities. Tell them to expand the scope and inquire more carefully to find out as much as possible about her background."
Mrs. Li pondered for a moment and added, "Send some smart people to go, more people."
Li rubbed her brows impatiently. Nanny Liu hurried forward, stood behind her and helped the lady press gently on her head.
In the past two days, she saw her wife frowning more often, and she felt really sorry for her.
Alas! How can I put it? Yun Qianyou, the second daughter of a concubine, has been back in the Prime Minister's Mansion for two days. The trouble and annoyance she has brought to Madam is more than the dirty things in the Prime Minister's Mansion's backyard for more than ten years combined. She is really worried about Madam.
