Xiaoji answered honestly.

"Oh, I got it. By the way, Xiaoji, my aunt has prepared a gift for you. I forgot to give it to you yesterday. Come on, let me put it on for you."

Yan Xia took out a small jewelry box from the cabinet. After opening it, she took out a hollow gold bracelet and put it on Xiaoji.

"Auntie, this is too expensive, I can't have it." Xiaoji was a little scared.

"It's necessary. This is a blessing from the elders to the younger ones. I hope my little one will be healthy and happy every birthday in the future." Yan Xia smiled and touched her head.

"Aunt...Thank you." Xiao Ji's eye circles instantly turned red.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. It won't look good if you cry. There are two gilt hairpins here. They are very beautiful. You can take them to Xiaoqing and the others later and tell them they are mine. I forgot to give them their birthday gifts yesterday."

Seeing that Xiao Ji was about to cry, Yan Xia quickly changed the subject. She took out two hairpins from the inside of the jewelry box and handed them to Xiao Ji.

It's just gilt. No matter how well it's made, it's not as valuable as a hollow pure gold bracelet.

Xiaoji was moved, but also a little excited.

Aunt Yan was only kind to her!

(????)

"Okay, Auntie, I'll go get it for them right now." After Xiao Ji finished speaking, he jumped away like a cute little rabbit, without any of his usual poise.

Yan Xia raised the corner of her mouth, watched her leave, and said to herself. "That's right. At this age, he is still a junior high school student in modern times."

...

The whole Yan family is happy and happy, the master is kind and the servants are loyal. Flowers, herbs, green trees are flourishing in the house, and everything is full of life.

Even if you meet a maid from Sashu, you will find that her expression is very relaxed, without any tension.

It's like being at home.

The food in Yan's house is good. You can eat rice as you like. When you get tired of it, the cook will change the pasta and make some buns, steamed buns, noodles and the like. They are all made of the most expensive refined flour. There are six uniform dishes, three meat and three vegetarian dishes. Like other houses, the servants can only eat the master's leftovers, or they may eat everything vegetarian.

After the meal, you can also receive fruits, sometimes watermelon, sometimes peaches.

After all, they are all fresh fruits in season.

During festivals, Yan Xia will give everyone a festival fee.

Basically one tael of silver per person.

There is also one day off every week. You can go out to play, go shopping, etc., or you can lie in your room and sleep in. Even if you sign a death contract, you will still get monthly money. The higher the level, the more monthly money you will get. For example, Xiaoji, The monthly salary of a first-class personal maid is as high as two taels of silver.

Even the lowest-ranking maidservant who poured the royal buckets had half a tael of silver a month.

That's not all. When Yan Xia's servants enter the house, he will ask Xiaoji to write down everyone's birth date. If someone doesn't know his or her birth date, then it will be calculated based on the day when the servants enter the house, and they will start their life again.

Every servant will receive a gift on his birthday, usually clothes and shoes for men, and jewelry for women.

The birthday banquet like yesterday happened to be celebrated by three maids together, and one of them was Yan Xia's favorite girl, so it was so lively.

The servants who can be bought into the mansion are basically orphans, so even if it is a day off and the mansion is busy, they will be willing to help. No one will be arrogant and pampered. They regard Yan Mansion as their own. Love and care for your home.

"Xiao Su, You You, you each have one of these two gilt hairpins. This is a birthday gift from my aunt. Remember to wear it on your head every day. This will make your aunt happier when she sees it. Do you understand?"

Xiaoji looked at the two hairpins. One was a peach blossom hairpin. The flowers on the hairpin were round and large. They would definitely be bright and beautiful when worn. Xiaoji felt that it was suitable for a lively and cheerful personality like Youyou.

The other one is an orchid hairpin. The carving is delicate and elegant. It is relatively low-key and more suitable for Xiao Su.

each has its own Hobby.

After Xiao Ji finished speaking, he put the corresponding hairpins in their hands. As expected, both of them liked it very much.

"Thank you, Master, for the reward. Sister Wangji, should we go and kowtow in the Master's house?" asked Youyou, who had only been in the house for twenty days.

"There is no need to deliberately thank her. Auntie doesn't like to see us kowtow to her. Just be nice when you meet her. You didn't know it when you first came here. You will understand after waiting for a long time. Okay, go and bring breakfast to the table Well, my aunt drank too much yesterday and doesn’t like meat and fish, so just make some vegetarian porridge with some refreshing side dishes in the morning.”

"Okay, thank you sister Wangji for your teaching." After hearing this, Youyou raised a bright smile.

"Thank you, master, and thank you, sister." Xiao Su also said.

Xiaoji is actually only fifteen, and both Youyou and Xiaosu are older than her. However, Xiaoji has a higher position. She is responsible for all the servants in the house and even the two shops. Even Jinyu is on the same level as her, just one person. The Lord is outside, but the Lord is inside.

Moreover, I have not signed the deed of betrayal.

So everyone calls Xiaoji sister.

"You're welcome. Go and do your work. I'll help the master wash up."

Xiao Ji carried the water back to Yan Xia's room. Yan Xia had already dressed herself. She had nothing to do today and didn't plan to go out, so she casually put on a thin gauze dress. It was too hot in the summer, so Yan Xia didn't want to go out. Xia wished she could be shirtless.

"Auntie, brush your teeth."

Xiaoji put expensive toothpaste on his toothbrush. This toothpaste contained pearl powder and various medicinal materials. A jar was worth eighty taels.

Only dignitaries can afford it.

But who is Yan Xia? She is a rich woman, and she will not take her money with her until death.

She was so stingy in the first half of her life, now she wants to have some extravagance, just use it!

Use whatever is expensive.

Not only does she use it, her son, daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law all have a jar in their room, so they all need to use it. Even the servants all have toothbrushes.

It's just that the toothpaste I used is not that expensive. It only costs one tael of silver per jar, which is quite sufficient. It can last about half a year even if you brush your teeth twice a day.

Yanfu's teeth are clean up and down, and his breath is fresh.

This was rare in ancient times. Not everyone could afford a toothbrush. At most, he could poke it in his mouth with a willow branch, or simply rinse his mouth with water, just like Yan Xia looked like when he first came here.

"GuluGulu——"

"Ho, bah——"

Yan Xia rinsed her mouth five times. She didn't put down her toothbrush and water glass until all the foam in her mouth was spit out.

After brushing her teeth, she picked up a soft cloth and washed her face, then applied fragrant cream.

"Auntie, do you want to do your hair in a bun today? If you want, I'll call Xiao Su to come in." After all, Xiao Ji is from a peasant family. Even if he is currently learning, he can only do a few simple buns and cannot be used on the stage, so on weekdays, if Yan Xia When she wants to go out, she will ask Xiao Su to come in and help her comb her hair.

"No, I'm not going out today, I'm just staying in the house. You can just give me a hairpin. By the way, the sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard is blooming and it's very fragrant. Go get some sweet-scented osmanthus and eat it at noon. I have nothing to do during the meal, so I will make some sweet-scented osmanthus and red bean soup, and if it tastes good, I will add it to the shop and sell it."
