Chapter 8
: Don’t fight or rob
Yueyuan is really a good person. He is willing to support newcomers, provided that newcomers can catch her eyes. Now it seems that Qu Fulan has caught her eyes.
She also personally sent Qu Fulan out and said to her: "Now you decoct medicine for the old lady, this is not careless, and you don't have to do anything else in the future. Even if you have free time, it's better to rest more than to work for others. Do you understand? If you really can't stay idle, it's good to learn some needlework or something."
Qu Fulan hurriedly said, "Haitang remembers her sister to give me some advice, so I will pay more attention in the future."
Yue Yuan nodded and said, "This is a reward. Go back and hide it and lock it up. Don't let anyone with care to see it. Even if our yard is strictly managed, it is difficult to keep some unclean hands and feet."
Qu Fulan was thinking about where the lock came from, but Yueyuan took out a lock and gave it to her: "I know you are new and don't have a lock yet. This is what I gave you. The keys are all here, please take it."
Qu Fulan thanked Sister Yueyuan again and again. Although she didn't need a lock, it was more convenient to have a lock than not.
Otherwise, like Haichun and Haixia before, she could find nothing. At that time, she didn't give much money to her, others would think that she was hiding her money. Now that the rewards have increased, it would be unrealistic to put it on her again.
Back in the eight-person shop, there were only two or three maids inside. Qu Fulan didn't say anything, walked to his cabinet, opened the cabinet and "put" the money in, and then locked it up with a lock.
Others only saw her hiding money, but they didn't see how much she had hidden, and they didn't dare to look at it too much. Moreover, everyone has to reward money today, so there is no need to be jealous of others.
These maids were interested in Qu Fulan's locks.
"Where did Sister Haitang come from this lock?"
Qu Fulan said it was given by Sister Yueyuan, and the maids were so envious.
"Sister is so lucky, we don't have such blessings."
"What a blessing?"
Haixia heard it when she came back from outside and subconsciously answered the conversation.
This is how lively people can integrate into a group anytime, anywhere.
"Sister Haitang got the lock given by Sister Yueyuan, and we are envious."
After seeing Qu Fulan's lock, Haixia also said, "Although it's just a lock, this lock is a good lock. Even if the robber comes, it will take some effort to open it. Sister Yueyuan is so nice to you."
Although Haixia doesn't need to lock her, she will send her home with any good things, and she doesn't have to worry about being missed by thieves. But who doesn't like good things? She doesn't have such good locks at home.
Qu Fulan said: "Sister Yueyuan is a person with clear rewards and punishments. When the sisters do things well, she also rewards them for them."
Another maid said, "If you get a reward next time, can you ask for a lock?"
After saying that, she didn't wait for someone to answer, she knew that this was inappropriate.
Only the master can give me what I want, so how can I take the initiative to ask for it?
One of the maids had some idea of something and looked at Hai Xia and said.
"We all got the reward today. Can Sister Haixia find someone to buy a lock for the sisters? I will send you monthly money in the future, so everyone will feel more at ease when locking it."
As soon as these words were finished, everyone looked at Haixia. They could not leave the mansion casually, but Haixia was different. If she agreed to help buy the lock, everyone would be grateful.
Hai Xia waved his hand: "What a big deal, what price do you want to sign up for, I will bring it in tomorrow."
Even if she can't go out of the house to buy it directly, it would be very easy to find someone to buy it based on her parents' relationship.
Everyone was grateful to Haixia when they heard this.
Then everyone went to do their own things.
Haixia didn't have to do anything, she lay bored in bed. Fortunately, Sister Haitang was there, otherwise she would have to suffocate to death.
Originally, with Haixia's personality, she wouldn't go back to the yard early. Today, the second lady returned to the door. The lights and decorations in the mansion were only more lively than usual. Logically, she had to go shopping until the lights were turned off before she came back.
It’s a pity that she was not lucky. Her father saw her while shopping, and then she ran back in shame.
"Sister Haitang, tomorrow I will ask someone to go out and buy locks for the sisters. If you have anything you want to buy, you can also tell me and I will bring them back together."
The maids in the mansion have monthly money every month. The mansion also manages food and accommodation, and gives new clothes when changing seasons. They also receive rewards for the New Year holidays. The treatment is very good.
But the maids cannot leave the mansion at will, as the monthly money on them seems useless.
In fact, the mansion only has a fixed rule after all. If you want good food and clothing, you must use your own money to make up for it.
For example, if you want to eat something, you can ask someone to go out and buy it, or give it to the kitchen and give it to add food.
It really costs money in every aspect.
Haixia likes the osmanthus cake on Changning Street the most. If her parents hadn’t been strict with each other, she would really want to eat it every day.
Qu Fulan said: "I have nothing to buy, the mansion has enough of it."
If someone else said this, Haixia must question it. She believed it.
Haitang is not interested in the things that are seeking rewards, let alone other things?
"Sister Haitang seems to be unable to use money now, so she is not interested in rewards. However, when she is old, she has to prepare some dowry for herself in advance."
"Ahem." Qu Fulan was drinking tea when he was choking. After a while, he said, "How old are you? Are you starting to think about these questions?"
Haixia looks less than ten years old.
Haixia said: "My mother said that girls' families will get married in the future. When they get married, they must have a dowry. They must start preparing dowry early, otherwise they will be looked down upon by others."
The little girl is still young and doesn't know how shy she is when she says these words.
Qu Fulan knew that Haixia was right. She had normal ancient thinking, but she would not agree with this view. How others had nothing to do with her. She only knew that she was a third-class maid, and it was important to get promoted first.
When she was sleeping at night, Qu Fulan counted the money in the space. She was not as interested in money as Haixia said. She had not yet reached the state of being empty in all four elements. She just knew that the reward would be her own sooner or later, and she would just give her immediate boss a good impression of not fighting or scrambling.
As a servant, you must keep your duty and do things honestly to make your master like it.
She always threw the reward into the space after getting the reward, and never carefully counted it. Now when she looked at it, she actually found that she had a lot of savings.
When she treated the old lady, she got twenty taels of silver, a bracelet and a string of jewelry.
The monthly rate of first-class girls in Pei’s mansion is one or two taels, second-class girls are one dandy, and third-class girls are five hundred coins.
Today, Sister Yueyuan received another two hundred dollars for her.
Now her savings are equivalent to the salary of a maid for nearly two years, not including gold bracelets, jewelry and so on.
Alas, in the days when she lost her freedom, only this money can make her feel better.
