Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

Xie Xian was busy writing a plan for the sake of her future money. Qingdai informed her that a maid from Shiqi Niang's side came to deliver an invitation.

This was Ji Xiang's first time to come to the inkstone washing pool. In the past, little girls like them were not allowed to enter. But since the second wife returned, the rules of the inkstone washing pool have been relaxed. Xie Xian didn't want to trouble everyone, so she opened a side door from the orphanage. As a result, people didn't go to the pool very often.

Magu didn't say anything, but only asked her to burn a stick of incense on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.

Ji Xiang followed Qing Dai through the corridor and felt that this courtyard did not have the elegance of a girl. She and Shiqi Niang had planted quite a few plum and chrysanthemum trees in the courtyard, and the ladies often made appointments to go to the garden and play. This inkstone pool was really not a place for a young lady to live!

"Qingdai, you're very happy living in this courtyard. Those people in Dadang have made a lot of arrangements." Ji Xiang is a generous person. He is in charge of external affairs in Shiqi Niang's courtyard. He is familiar with the heads of each courtyard, so he has no reservations when talking about them.

"Sister Ji Xiang, everyone has their own fate." Qingdai had known that these female servants in the inner courtyard wanted to find out the news about the second house, so she didn't try to avoid them. It was nothing more than some monthly salary, food, and the master's temper, which had always been a perennial topic in the inner courtyard.

Seeing Qingdai speak so frankly, Ji Xiang also smiled and said, "Really, there is a bonus in this monthly salary, isn't it the same as the reward given by the master before?" She asked in surprise with her eyes wide open.

"Of course. Our wife said that she has a bad memory. Some big guys who deserve rewards or punishments should follow the rules. She is tired of following the master's temper in everything." Qingdai chuckled when she talked about this. In fact, neither she nor Xie Miao had expected that other masters mostly relied on rewarding and punishing servants to establish their majesty and control the right to speak, but their wife, ah!

In Zhenniang's words, "lazy to the core." Xie Xian just nodded in agreement, leaving them speechless.

"Won't those who are cunning and dishonest be able to cause chaos?" Ji Xiang frowned. She really couldn't understand how anyone could respect the rules under such a management.

The two were chatting happily when they suddenly heard a clear female voice coming from the west side room: "Everyone, although you are old, it is not a reason for you to be lazy."

"Why did I pay you to come here? Don't tell me you can't do it. My second house is not a place for idleness." Although he didn't speak directly or harshly, his words inspired awe.

Xie Xian nodded slightly, her voice lazy: "It is natural to do things for money. If you can't do it, there are talented people to fill it. Tomorrow I will post a recruitment notice in Shuzitang, and fill the vacancies for me." As long as the treatment is appropriate, why worry about not having people? However, everything needs to be done step by step. As she spoke, her speed gradually increased.

Having said this, although Xie Xian had a smile on her face, a sharp look flashed in her eyes. She opened her red lips and said, "You don't have to worry. Just do your job well and we will treat you fairly." The implication was that if you are unwilling to do your best, you will be dealt with according to the law.

"If you don't cherish the opportunity, don't blame me for being ruthless. From now on, matters concerning the accounts must be strictly supervised. I will not allow anyone to break my rules. What is needed is concerted efforts, not disunity." At this point, Xie Xian's tone was already impatient.

Ji Xiang was shocked. Although she maintained a smile on her face, she couldn't help thinking to herself: The character of the second lady is indeed not as simple as the rumors say. I need to be more careful in the future.

In the past, the mistress of the main compound was always polite to the accountants, but she started to scold the second house. When there is no one to do the work, you will understand the difficulties of being the mistress of the house. It seems that the rumors in the sect are not without reason.

Seeing the flushed faces of the accountants below, they walked away with angry expressions. Qingdai sighed, her mistress was good in every way except that she had no patience with people, except children.

She saw Ji Xiang stop and turned back: "?"

Ji Xiang whispered, "Your mistress is angry, how about I go away first?" Ji Xiang hadn't recovered from Xie Xian's fierce roar. In fact, the mistress of the house didn't act so rebellious. She changed the manager as she wished. Although she didn't understand the account, she heard from her wife that the accountant had many tricks. If the manager was angry, it would be the master's purse that suffered.

Seeing Qingdai coming back, Xie Xian put down the tea in her hand. She had been really anxious and irritated these past two days. She was already busy, and then several heads of the second house and accountants of several shops on South Street in the city came to make trouble.

I had thought I would free up my time to tidy up everything after I was busy for a while, but I didn't expect that the free school training and night school for the orphanage would cause opposition from these accountants, saying that the ancestral etiquette and laws should not be taught lightly.

I'm your uncle, the people below have to count with their hands, and if that doesn't work, they have to use their feet.

Only a few people know how to count, so how can they be efficient at work? How can you read the employee code of conduct if you can't read a single word?

The employee handbook that was written with great effort has become a blank piece of paper. Those managers take advantage of their subordinates' illiteracy and misinterpret the facts to gain benefits for themselves, deceiving their superiors and subordinates.

Xie Xian exploded when she thought about this. Don’t ask why she cares so much. Everyone who has worked in the workplace has experienced this kind of humiliation.

In order to be lazy in the future, she doesn't want to be bothered by these trivial matters every day and become an employee of the second room. Let me start by refusing to be 007.

"Qingdai, you're finally back. These people are going to make your wife mad to death." Xie Xian softened her voice and said coquettishly.

Seeing the Hedong Lion suddenly turn into a little white rabbit, Ji Xiang didn't know what expression to put on...

Xie Miao put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his wrist and said: "My wife just moved her mouth, but Miao wrote it all down!" Xie Xian felt guilty and tired Xie Miao for half a month. But who made his handwriting too ugly!

Seeing Xie Xian looking at her, Ji Xiang bowed and said, "Greetings, my lady. Madam Seventeen has received an invitation from the Yu family to enjoy the flowers, and has invited all the girls in the family to go!" She lowered her head and presented the invitation.

This was a gold-stamped post with a thin piece of scented wood sandwiched inside. The prints on the surface showed that the owner was very particular about it. Xie Xian looked at Xie Miao in a daze.

Xie Miao took a quick glance and said: "This is Yu Bohou's family. Remember that several girls in the Yu family are about to reach the age of marriage!" She has been asking her aunt about this a lot these days. Since she has become a female official, she has to repair the relationships with various families.

Ji Xiang nodded gently: "Mrs. Miao is still so smart, she guessed it right away." She felt sorry that Xie Miao had worked as a maid in the courtyard when she was young. If it weren't for the later... She should have had a good future.

When Xie Xian saw the pretty girl with a melon-seed face in front of her, a smile appeared on her face. She just liked looking at beautiful women to refresh her eyes.

After a few jokes, Xie Xian agreed. She was just there to make up the numbers. Going out to see other ladies' daily lives would also help to relax.

In the evening, several people packed up and went to the kitchen of the orphanage. Several children were eating in the hall, but there was a long line at the door. This was all at Xie Xian's request. At the beginning, it was said that they would teach them to read, but not many people came. Later, Qingdai suggested that they should provide a dinner, and then forty or fifty people came.

Seeing Xie Xian and the others, the team moved slightly and lined up straighter, and everyone bowed their heads to greet them.

Xie Xian said nothing, but frowned as she looked at the crooked team.

Siji leaned over and shouted, "How are you guys lined up? Look at your feet. The pebbles are lined up vertically. As for you, where are you looking?"

Several people from the property management office who had lost their bowls came rushing over to maintain order. When they first arrived, they couldn't even arrange the food properly, but after being punished a few times, they became well behaved.

It was not until the next day that Xie Xian set the rules for learning calligraphy, and seats were arranged in line from lowest to highest.

"My goodness, isn't it said that the master of the second house has less control? Why are there so many rules even for a meal?" The new big man propped his head up and looked forward.

"Then you think this meal is for nothing, if you don't learn well, hehe."

The young man behind me has been here for two days. "Have you seen that notice board? I heard that if you can read, you can do more work on it than we can do in a month of hard work."

"Oh, we really have to take an exam! Isn't that what students and scholars do?"

"Then how can we determine who's better if we don't have a competition? If you study well, maybe you can even pass the exam and become a clerk." Another person interrupted.

"Is this true? What is a registrar? Why do I have to take an exam?"

"I'm lying to you. Now every manager is promoted to have two deputies called recorders. I heard that if the manager does not do a good job, the recorder will take over." Looking at the excited people in front of him, the young man looked at his open-toed straw sandals. He originally just wanted to make a living, but a fire gradually burned in his numb heart.

Xie Xian walked slowly forward from the door. The crooked team seemed to be smoothed by an invisible big hand. It only took a glance from the lady to make it straight. People straightened their chests and heads intentionally or unintentionally for fear of being outdone by others.

Xie Xian looked at the servants of the second house calmly, and sighed in her heart that there was a huge gap between them and the first and third houses. The expressions on their faces varied from numbness, reverence, to fear, but what made her happy was that there was no resentment.

Several children playing nearby washed their hands under Qingdai's guidance, took their own small bowls, and followed behind her in an orderly manner. Surprisingly, they lined up very neatly, and after more than half a month of training, they were already very skilled in stepping on the pebbles under their feet with their right feet.

At this time, no one in the queue was talking, and they felt that this useless queue was suddenly given a different meaning.

Seeing this, the reluctance on everyone's faces gradually disappeared, and Qingdai had a new understanding of the rules that the queen had mentioned in the past.
