Chapter 1276: Weak and easy to bully
However, the addition of dishes only once every three days has moved the people below very much, and they are even more convinced and respectful to Mrs. Xia Er, the mistress.
The maids and women all signed a contract to sell themselves. Not to mention the money they earned from doing needlework, even their lives belonged to the Xia family.
Mrs. Xia Er asked them to use their free time to do needlework to earn money. Logically speaking, this money belonged to the Xia family, but not only did Mrs. Xia Er give them half, but Mrs. Xia Er also didn't keep the other half, and used it to They added dishes, how could they not be moved?
Not only can you earn more money, but you can also have a rich meal from time to time, which is something that even the maids and wives in other people's houses can't enjoy.
Therefore, while the maids and wives are grateful, they will also take the initiative to do some needlework for the masters within their ability.
In addition, after the maids and women made money, they would go out to buy some snacks and pastries, and then divide one portion among the masters.
Therefore, the maids and wives of the Xia family all get along harmoniously with their masters, and there are no gossips, gossips, quarrels and disputes like those in other houses.
During the time they had to talk, they might as well immerse themselves in doing more needlework to earn money.
Mrs. Zhuo ordered her maids to send the shoes to various courtyards according to their sizes, and then said to the housekeeper in charge of New Year's gifts, "Next year's New Year's gifts from our family to the Xia family will also have to be increased. According to this year's New Year's gifts, Double preparation.”
"Yes, Princess." The stewardess knelt down and responded. After a moment's hesitation, she decided to tell the Princess about the Crown Prince's payment for the New Year's greetings.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhuo had a look of surprise on her face, but she was not displeased. She nodded and praised, "Your Majesty, you did the right thing. We were negligent in this matter before and we should make up for it."

As for the money, because Xia Zihan had agreed with her before that Yu Qiongyuan would pay for the New Year greetings for the Xia family, so she didn't mention giving the money to Chu Jingqi.
On the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month, the maid below came to report, saying that she was responsible for the matter and asked to see him.
"Invite people to the Bajiao Pavilion. I'll be there right away." Xia Zihan ordered.
The maid said yes and went down. Xia Zihan got up, changed into the clothes for visiting guests, and went to the flower room with Chu Qingyun and Chu Qingyun.
The Bajiao Pavilion is the middle pavilion on the grass of the flower house. It is transparent and warm as spring. The servants working in the flower house can see the people in the pavilion from a long distance, but cannot hear what the people in the pavilion say. Therefore, Xia Zi Han is used to receiving the stewards of Zhuangzi's shop here who come to report business.
Guanshi Bao was sitting in the octagonal pavilion, drinking tea made by the maid. When he saw Xia Zihan coming, he stood up and saluted, and then stood aside, respectful.
Xia Zihan pointed to the stone bench he was sitting on just now and said, "Sit down and talk."
"I don't dare." Bao Guanshi bowed and did not dare to sit at the same table as Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan saw that he advanced and retreated in a controlled manner, and was sensible and polite. He nodded appreciatively, and ordered the maid to bring a stool and a high table over, let him sit at the bottom, and moved his tea to the high table. A few on.
Bao Guanshi bowed solemnly and thanked her, and did not refuse.
After sitting down, the manager guaranteed to report the fruit shop and fruit wine shop.
"The shop used to sell tea. When the previous owner left, he left behind a few old shelves. We happened to be able to use them, so we repainted them and put all kinds of fruit wine... It happened to occupy half of the shop..." "Wang The deputy head of the village has delivered a total of six carts of fruits to the store in the past two days. There are a total of fifteen kinds of fruits, all of which are freshly picked and sprayed with water drops. They are all arranged and waiting for the opening tomorrow. "
Then, Guan Guan hesitated and said, "Princess, on the first day of opening, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people. Can you... transfer a few boys from other places to help?"
Since the last time Xia Zihan returned the deed of betrayal to Bao Guan, the next day, Guan Guan and his wife brought his son over and asked Xia Zihan to take his pulse, write a prescription, and even He asked the maid to find some medicinal materials from the warehouse and bring them to him.
After taking the medicine prescribed by Xia Zihan for two days, the Bao family's son was more than half cured. After seeing that his son was recovering from his illness, Bao left his wife at home to take care of his son while he went to do the things Xia Zihan had asked him to do. thing.
His ability to take care of things was really good. Xia Zihan only asked the maid to introduce him to the head of the hot spring village, and then left him alone.
From shop repairs, to writing paperwork, to entering official circles, to hiring shop boys... everything is guaranteed to be done in person.
In just half a month, everything in the shop was ready, and it will open tomorrow.
Because it was just before the year before, there were no shops specializing in fresh fruits in the capital. Even if there were, there were few types. It can be said that Xia Zihan's shop was the first shop specializing in selling fresh fruits in the capital. There were many types, so, Guanshi Bao estimated that there would be a lot of people in the first few days of opening. He was worried that he would be too busy with only two servants, so he thought of reporting to the owner about the shop and borrowing a few servants to use it.
Hearing this, Xia Zihan agreed happily, "People will be there early tomorrow morning. When the time comes, you can make arrangements."
"Thank you, Princess." Guanshi Bao stood up and bowed.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "On the first day the shop opens, I should send a few more people to help. Even if you don't ask, I will do it."
After hearing this, I was very moved both physically and mentally.
Although he works for Xia Zihan and opens a store for Xia Zihan to make money, there are not many bosses who can sympathize with the people below.
It was because of his good luck that he met Princess Chu Yu.
Xia Zihan recruited Chu Meng again and introduced her to Guanshi Bao, "This is Chu Meng. From now on, after the fruit wine and fruits are separated, she will be in charge of the fruit wine shop. However, for now, let her learn to be a steward from you." .”
Xia Zihan had told Guanshi Bao that the fruit wine and fruit stores would be opened separately. He also said that the fruit wine shop would be managed by another steward. Guanshi Bao thought that a steward would be sent there, but to his surprise, a steward was sent. maid.
This maid looks like a weak and easily bullied master. How can she show up and manage a shop?
Bao Guanshi couldn't help but frown.
It's not that he dislikes Chu Meng, it's that Chu Meng looks too young. She is almost in her twenties. Because she is not tall, she looks like a fifteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Moreover, look at her. She's cute, soft, and delicate, and she looks like an easy bully.
Bao Guanshi is worried that she will suffer a loss if she meets some cowardly people in public.
