108, Yuan Niang is in charge (1st shift)
Yuan Niang has been in charge for three days.
Nothing has changed.
Nothing came out.
Everything is exactly the same as before.
There was a shower last night, and there were still water droplets hanging on the begonia trees in the early morning, and a few crisp birdsong flew through the treetops.
The maids and mothers-in-law of Huanhuatang have begun their daily routine sprinkling and cleaning.
Meng Qingyun lazily lay on the pillow for a while before he called for washing.
Asakusa paints eyebrows, Bauhinia picks clothes, and embroiders breakfast.
Green Cloud came in with the ledger.
"Today is going to pay the monthly money, and there are only a dozen taels of silver in the public middle school account, and I don't know how the eldest lady is the family."
Meng Qingyun picked up the earrings, didn't raise his head, and said casually: "Isn't this something I have known for a long time." ”
Lu Yun sighed: "It seems that we really have to post the money ourselves, and we can't pay the monthly money for the first month of Yuan Niang's house." ”
Asakusa wore earrings for Meng Qingyun and said: "In fact, since last year, the monthly money has been paid late, and at the latest, it is even almost a month late. ”
Zijing came out with the clothes she had just picked out, and snorted angrily: "It must be the eldest lady who took the money to put the seal outside to eat interest." ”
It's already a well-known secret.
Luyun thought for a while and said: "Actually, people like us have old rules to follow when they should act, Yuan Niang just doesn't care about anything, and the bottom is running as usual." As long as the monthly money can be paid in full and in a timely manner, there will naturally be no complaints. ”
Meng Qingyun stood up and got dressed.
"Since you have changed your family, you naturally have to change the weather."
"You're all set, aren't you?"
Luyun replied: "It's ready, the housekeepers everywhere have already been notified, and I will take someone to the treasury to withdraw the money in a while." ”
Meng Qingyun nodded and said no more.
I calmly finished my breakfast and rinsed my mouth.
The master and servant and his party walked out of the Huanhua Hall in a majestic manner.
Originally, the eldest lady was in charge, and if there was something at home, she went to the courtyard of the East Road to ask for instructions, but now that Yuan Niang is in charge, she must have a place to do things, so she set the Bingxin Hall in front of the backyard of the West Road.
Before Meng Qingyun arrived, the Bingxin Hall was already full of housekeepers, maidservants, and mothers-in-law who were in charge of people or things below, crowding a room full of people.
Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Ma and others were muttering quietly.
"You say, what are you going to do when Yuan Niang called us all here?"
"Isn't today the day to pay monthly money?"
"It's not like the monthly money is going to be sent late, right?"
"The eldest lady is in charge, and the monthly money cannot be paid in time. Yuan Niang is just a little girl, can she be stronger than a big lady? ”
"Alas, if I can't get the monthly money today, our family will scold me again."
"Your family is too disagreeable, you just drink and gamble all day long, you only have a few dollars a month, can he squander it?"
"I made up my mind anyway, if I don't pay the monthly money today, I will make a big fuss. A dignified hundred-year-old family actually deducted people's monthly money, and it was a joke to say it! ”
The person next to him reminded: "Don't talk about it, it's coming, it's coming......"
Everyone raised their eyes and quickly silenced them.
I saw Meng Qingyun coming in first, Luyun holding the account book, followed by Asakusa, Bauhinia, Xiu'er, Cui's mother, and a few little girls, and a few sturdy mothers-in-law at the back, carrying two mahogany boxes.
Not to mention anything else, just this mighty momentum does have the appearance of being a housewife.
"Everyone's here?"
"It's all there."
Meng Qingyun sat on the chair and said to everyone: "Today is the day to distribute the monthly money, and there is no need to summon you to come. However, this is the first time I have been in charge, and it is the first time I have paid monthly money, so I have to change the weather for everyone. ”
"I heard that the original monthly money was always sent late?"
Everyone listened respectfully, and they couldn't figure out what she meant, and no one said anything.
Meng Qingyun didn't think it was wrong, smiled, and said, "I have no intention of pursuing the past matter. Let go of a sentence today, as long as I am in charge for one day, the monthly money will be paid on time, and it will never be a day late. ”
Mrs. Wu is the fastest-talking and the most short of money, so she immediately cheered and said, "That's great." ”
Everyone is also happy, and every time they pay their monthly money late, who has no resentment in their hearts.
Meng Qingyun said: "Our Montessori has been in the past 100 years, the first good family, you have also been in this family for many years, and you have long become one with Montessori. In the past, it was a public problem that wronged you, but as far as I know, no one has ever complained about it. ”
There are people at the bottom who slander them, how can they not complain, isn't it all pressed by the big lady?
"I am very touched by everyone's understanding of the school. Therefore, today, not only will the monthly money be paid in full, but a special bonus will be issued as a condolence and gratitude to everyone who shares weal and woe with the public school. ”
And the rewards?
Everyone was surprised and surprised, speculating how much money they could have.
"The bonus will be based on their respective monthly money, and the total amount will be ......," Meng Qingyun raised a finger, "One quarter." ”
Q1?
Green Cloud reminded: "It's three months." ”
Trimester?!
Everyone was excited. That's three months' money!
Meng Qingyun casually pointed to someone: "You." ”
The one who was hit was Zhou Niangzi, who was in charge of the big kitchen.
"How much money do you have a month?"
Zhou Niangzi pressed the joy in her heart and replied respectfully: "If you return to Yuan Niang, my monthly money is two taels." ”
The large kitchen manages the daily eating and drinking of the whole family, and it is the busiest department when there are holiday banquets and ceremonies. Zhou Niangzi's position is one of the highest levels among the housekeepers, and the monthly money she gets is also the highest among the servant women in the inner house.
Meng Qingyun said: "Then your bonus is six taels." ”
Zhou Niangzi was suddenly overjoyed, that is to say, today, including the monthly money and bonuses, she got eight taels of silver at a time. If it is an ordinary farmer, this is enough to make a living for half a year.
The others were also full of joy, thinking about how much they could get in prize money.
When the eldest lady is in charge, her hands are very tight, the monthly money is always sent late, there are no rewards, subsidies, and rewards, and many people are working in the house, and there is no livelihood outside, and life is inevitably tight.
Now listen to Yuan Niang's meaning, all the people in the house can get bonuses. In those families, the bonuses of the whole family add up to the income of the previous year.
A Mr. Ma once said that there are only two reasons why employees are separated from the company, one is that the money is not enough, and the other is that they are wronged.
Since Meng Qingyun became the family, she has never adjusted anyone's position, even if everyone has grievances, it is not from her; Now he has also given bonuses to everyone, and promised to pay his monthly money on time and in full from now on.
This trick alone is enough to make all those who are waiting, waiting to see jokes, and want to do something obedient.
Then there were four mothers-in-law who opened the two mahogany boxes that Yuan Niang brought when she entered the door, and there were strings of copper coins in them, as well as neat rows and rows of silver ingots.
Then Green Cloud opened the roster and began to call people one by one.
The mother-in-law who had done so counted the silver and copper coins according to the amount she had given them to everyone.
Holding the heavy money in his arms, this kind of real satisfaction is more intuitive and profound than the verbal promise just now.
Everyone received the money and sincerely thanked Meng Qingyun.
Meng Qingyun sat upright and gave everyone a noble and elegant smile in return.
It didn't take long for the entire Mongol house to be filled with a festive-like and joyful atmosphere.
