Wealth and glory seek stability

There will be rewards?!

This benefit package is so good!

Jian Xi still maintained a calm expression, but the smile at the corner of her mouth could not be suppressed at all.

She remembered that when she was at the dock, a bun cost two cents each, and five hundred cents could buy two hundred and fifty buns, which could last for more than a month if she only ate buns every day.

I think the purchasing power of 500 Wen is still good.

"These books are what the Madam likes to read. She is old and her eyesight is not very good. The former student Bihen was granted grace, and the Madam released her indenture and married her out of the house. The Madam likes the maids around her to wear bright and pleasing clothes. Here are two silk flowers for you to wear."

Seeing that Jian Xi was dressed simply, Qiangwei casually pinned two light pink silk flowers on Jian Xi's head, looked at Jian Xi for a moment, and said:

"You have beautiful features and are still young. You will definitely be a beauty when you grow up."

"Thank you, Sister Qiangwei, for the compliment."

"Well, there's nothing to do today. Go and see the mother who manages the courtyard to see if there's any work you can do. Although the Madam's courtyard is free, she can't just sit there and do nothing."

Jian Xi kept Qiangwei's words in mind.

She understands this principle. It's just like at work. You can slack off but you can't slack off blatantly.

"Don't worry, Sister Qiangwei. I won't be lazy."

"I see that you are not stupid, so I will give you a few more words of advice. As long as you serve the lady in her courtyard honestly, you will have a bright future in the future."

Jian Xi nodded obediently. This was just like the pie in the sky that leaders often painted in the sky in the workplace in her previous life. She could still tell the truth from the lie.

Do your own job well, but don't rely on your leader for everything.

"Yes."

In the evening, Jian Xi returned to her residence.

The third-class maids' quarters were originally intended to accommodate eight people in a room, but this corner room was relatively small, so only Jian Xi, Caixia, Caiyun, and Lai Xi, four third-class maids, lived there.

"Sister Jian Xi, you see, I followed Sister Ding Xiang, and she gave me a pattern and an embroidery frame, and asked me to embroider a flower to see my skills."

Caixia, formerly known as Yadan, showed a flower to Jian Xi.

Within a few days, Jian Xi had already taken the dominant position among the new maids.

There was no other reason. Jian Xi was the oldest among them and was very opinionated when encountering things. Gradually, everyone would involuntarily ask Jian Xi for her opinion when encountering problems, and Jian Xi would also be very kind to offer useful suggestions.

Jian Xi took a look at the pattern and said, "This is a peach blossom. You should embroider it well. This craft will be useful to you once you have mastered it."

Caixia nodded seriously and continued to study the pattern.

Lai Xi and Cai Yun were assigned to the tea room, and they were very envious when they saw this.

"Your job is good. The two of us have to boil water all day. My waist is sore from sitting all day."

Lai Xi lay on the bed, rubbing his waist, and said in a sad voice.

Caiyun is better, but not much better.

"The elder sisters said that since we are young, we don't need to be on duty at night. We only need to be on duty during the day."

"Let me help you rub it."

Jian Xi walked to Lai Xi's bedside and massaged her with moderate force, causing Lai Xi to moan.

"Sister Jian Xi's skills are really good. After a few presses, I felt much more comfortable."

In her previous life, Jian Xi moved out of the orphanage after she became an adult and had been struggling in society for a long time. She could only take care of herself, so simple massage techniques were no problem for her.

Jian Xi sincerely comforted her:

"Since we are all together, we should help each other. In fact, your job is quite good. You can live peacefully every day. When we are old enough, I heard from Sister Qiangwei that the old lady will show mercy and allow us to leave the palace."

The first rule of the workplace: You must build good relationships with your colleagues.

The king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.

Often, the little-known people around us can be of great use at critical moments.

When it comes to small matters that don't involve issues of principle, Jian Xi's principle is to try to maintain kindness towards the people around her.

This rule has saved her many times.

Lai Xi didn't want to go out at all. "I don't want to go out. I can't even get enough food at home. I can have enough food in the mansion, and no one will bully me. If I go home, my father will still sell me."

Seeing this, Jian Xi didn't know what to say. She would definitely not stay in the mansion. The human relationships in such a large mansion were complicated, how could they compare to the freedom of the vast world outside.

But at the age of ten, staying in the palace is the best option.

After all, he was a child, and Lai Xi fell into a deep sleep after a while.

Caixia was still studying the patterns of the candles, and Jian Xi couldn't help but say:

"At night, when the candlelight is dim, you must protect your eyes while embroidering. My mother is an embroiderer. She said that the most important things for an embroiderer are her hands and eyes. If you do this, your eyes will be damaged easily."

The original owner, Jian Xi's mother, was an embroiderer from Suzhou. In memory, Jian Yu was able to study with peace of mind because she relied on her mother to sell embroidery to make a living.

Caixia was so frightened when she heard this that she immediately put down the embroidery frame in her hand.

"Thank you, Sister Jian Xi, for your advice."

Jian Xi lay on the bed and closed her eyes, as memories of her past and present lives flashed through her mind all at once.

I never thought that she was alone in her previous life, and she was still alone in this other world. From now on, she will be the real Jian Xi of this era.

She will definitely live well with this identity.

As the days passed, Jian Xi gradually became adept at her daily work.

In fact, there is no technical requirement. I just follow Qiangwei and do some errands when I have free time every day.

Delivering a message or picking up something is just one errand.

The housekeeper said that Jian Xi could read the account books, and Qiangwei would usually take Jian Xi to see the world when she was calculating the account books in the lady's room.

The Madam's room takes inventory of the storeroom every six months. Jane Xi saw boxes of gold and various porcelain and jewelry in front of her.

She had never seen so many treasures in her two lifetimes combined.

As a modern social animal who only gets a fixed salary every month, Jian Xi shed tears as wide as noodles in her heart.

Will she die if there is one more rich person like her in this world? !

Jian Xi smacked her lips but looked very calm, knowing that Qiangwei was testing her intentionally, and she would not let Qiangwei think she was shallow.

However, she has never thought of using modern knowledge to make a name for herself in this era. There are always people better than you, and people of this era are no stupider than people today.

On the contrary, in ancient times when technology was not well developed, people there were actually smarter than people today.

The original owner, Jian Xi, was the daughter of a sour scholar. It was not easy for her to recognize words. If it was revealed that she had other knowledge, it would definitely arouse suspicion from others.

Jian Xi is just an ordinary person. In the modern environment, she worked hard with her own hands and feet, and only bought a house of her own at the age of 29.

She had already made up her mind not to reveal her true identity.

The second rule of the workplace: Don’t reveal all your cards at once. Remember, those who drown are those who can swim. Keeping a low profile is the hard truth.

She is now just an ordinary third-class maid, receiving only 500 coins a month. Living safely until she grows up is her top priority.
