The dressing lady who spoke was the most popular among the ladies, and it was precisely because of her popularity that she had the confidence to argue with the Zhou family.

Zhou Shi was not angry at all, glanced at the man with a smile, and said: "The Gold Powder Society is open to do business, and what it seeks is to make money in harmony, and it will not commit robbers." This contract is the same as before, it is still willing to sign, and if you are not willing to sign, we will cooperate again in the future. ”

"However, you also have to think about it, other than the Gold Powder Society, where else can you offer four or five new hair looks every month. People who come and go only a few tricks are destined to not go long. ”

After a few words, the pros and cons were all said. Most of the dressing ladies are from poor families, and there are not many literate people, and most of them feel that Zhou's words are reasonable, and happily press the handprint.

The remaining half of them tasted the sweetness of taking private work in the name of the Gold Powder Society during this period of time, and they were unwilling to give up the money that had gone into their pockets.

Especially the most popular hair-combing lady, she was sought after by all the ladies in the gold powder club, so she felt that she had the ability to go out and do business alone. In front of Cui's and others, he tore the contract in his hand to shreds, and then casually left the villa.

As soon as she left, a few ladies who couldn't make up their minds also embarrassedly returned the contract back to the handmaid: "Zhou Niangzi, you know me, my men are not useful, there are old and young, and I rely on me to dress up and feed others, I can't help it......"

After some turmoil, everyone looked around and found that only seventy percent of the dressing girls left behind, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy: "Zhou Niangzi, the Gold Powder Society wants to enter the new members, but there are fewer of us who serve people, how can this be good?" ”

The dressing lady who stayed behind did not necessarily have a deep relationship with the Zhou family, mainly for the sake of making ends meet. Their contract has been signed, and if the business of the Gold Powder Society is damaged, they will make less money, so they are very worried and sincere, and even a few have secretly regretted not leaving with the popular dressing lady.

Bathed in the worried eyes of everyone, Zhou was very calm, raised his hand and patted it, and immediately more than twenty pleasing-looking maidservants walked out of the room on the side, standing in front of everyone in a proper manner: "I've seen the lady, I've seen the ladies." ”

The dressing lady looked at it fixedly, these maidservants are very familiar, and they are the maidservants who have served them in your house since the opening of the society.

Zhou and the others put away their surprise before explaining: "These maidservants are all apprentices that I specially asked the master to teach, and I have been practicing with you in the garden for a long time. Although she is not a first-class dressing lady, it is more than enough to be a second-class lady. ”

When the dressing lady witnessed this scene, she reacted: these maidservants have been serving tea and water in the garden since they opened the garden, serving the noble ladies, and have been learning the art of dressing with the master, so they have been waiting for today!

Even if they all follow the leading lady to walk cleanly, this gold powder club will not be affected much. Maybe with their fast-changing hair and makeup, they can steal all the business in their hands!

Thinking about this, all the combing girls, you look at me, I look at you, and they all see the happiness in each other's eyes - fortunately, they didn't tear their faces with Zhou Niangzi for a little money, otherwise I'm afraid that there will be no place for them in Kyoto.

"Hehe, how else to say that Zhou Niangzi is the boss of the Gold Powder Club! With such a long-term vision, we can't catch up even if we ride a horse for a few years. A clever lady came back to her senses, and her flattering words poured out as if she didn't want money.

The other ladies hurriedly nodded yes.

These maids were all proposed and cultivated by Jiaojiao'er, and they have little to do with the Zhou family. Therefore, Zhou was not stunned by the sycophants of the dressing girls, and waved his hand lightly: "Let's save the flattery, let's get back to business." ”

Soon, Zhou threw out the second 'bomb': "These handmaidens are not as skilled as you, and it would be unfair if they took the same money as you." Therefore, from today onwards, the company will implement a commission system. For every lady served, he received thirty dollars, which were paid monthly. ”

This is completely different from the previous situation where you were paid the same amount of work no matter how much work you worked. Among the ladies, some are happy, some are worried, and their looks are different, as if they have opened a dyeing shop.

Zhou didn't care, just like Jiao Jiaoer said, silver money is the best introduction for everyone to work hard.

A dressing lady can almost dress up five ladies in a day, and in a month, it is a small five taels of silver, which is enough for ordinary people to live for half a year.

With such a high salary, no one is tempted.

Of course, in order to ensure that these dressing ladies will not deliberately fool things for the sake of quantity, Zhou still added: "Our ugly words can be said in the front, the salary is high, but if the effect of the dressing makes the ladies dissatisfied, not only can they not get the thirty yuan, but they will also deduct twenty yuan as a punishment." If you accumulate five penalties, you will be dismissed. ”

The dressing lady's expression was more complicated, but in the end, it was the temptation of Qian Bao that was greater, and soon they regained their smiles: "Look at what you said, how many other good employers can be found in the capital?" How can we let you down? You can rest assured! ”

The dressing ladies in the gold powder club gathered together and talked about the new wage system and the opening of the club on the second day. The dressing ladies who had left the Gold Dust Club were also getting together at this time.

The most favorite lady of the dressing lady is surnamed Luo, known as the skillful Luo lady. She was originally a palace maid released from the palace during the Xiantong period, but because she was too old to have children, she found an honest man with children as her husband.

But this honest man's life is not good, and within a few years of her marriage, she died of an emergency. left three sons and coaxed her to empty her family to handle the marriage for the three of them, so she changed her face and refused to recognize her as a stepmother.

Fortunately, she still has the ability to comb her hair with one hand, so she didn't starve to death. Because of this experience, she now believes in no one but in real money.

The Gold Powder Society has money to make, but it has to be shared by the Zhou family, where is it all up to you to make money? That's why she tore the contract to shreds and turned around and left the Gold Dust Society.

As soon as she stepped out of the threshold of the gate with her front feet, another lady with a combing hair behind her chased after her: "Old sister, my sister has an idea......

This latter combing lady surnamed Ma, although she only started to learn to comb her hair after her husband died, but she is clever and her craftsmanship is barely passable, and her business was not bad in the past.

When she was working in the Gold Powder Society, she was not very settled, and secretly probed the business of the Gold Powder Society. After a few months, she consciously grasped the key points, and she thought about pulling people to work alone, and Roche, who was good and popular, was the first object she wooed.

"Your craft is to comb the queen's hair and comb it, how can you succumb to it in the small gold powder club? After all, we have figured out the method of operation of the gold powder society, why don't you and I partner to start a new stove? ”

Luo Shi listened to her words, and thought about it in turn: Yes, I have the ability and there are so many guests, why don't I learn from Zhou's and build another club? In this way, not only the money earned by yourself belongs to yourself, but also the money earned by other ladies under your command can also be shared!

The two hit it off, and immediately turned around and guarded the door of the gold powder club, gathering those ladies who refused to sign the contract together: "We might as well form another club, there is no rule that you can't take private work, everyone works together to play the signboard, and you can make more money by attracting more guests!" ”

On the second day, the Gold Powder Society opened, and the carriages of the most noble ladies in the capital poured into the villa.

Although it is necessary to expand the number of members, adding too much at a time will still cause dissatisfaction among the original members. Therefore, Du Baozhu suggested that Zhou implement an invitation system and give the power to select new members to the ladies.

In this way, the ladies were given enough face, and the ladies were happy to choose a potential member who they felt was suitable to come to the meeting.

Former Prime Minister Lu Xian was stripped of his position as secretary of the military department because of his backing to Tian Lingzi, but his status in Kyoto has not changed much. His wife Jiang was the first batch of members of the Gold Powder Society, and she faintly became the leader of the ladies.

She carefully selected for a long time and decided to take the eldest daughter-in-law of Yan Guogong Gao Yu to the banquet, but before the carriage left the house, Luo Niangzi came to visit.

"I was just going to the Gold Powder Society, why are you here?" Jiang asked Luo Niangzi to comb her for her every time in the Gold Powder Society, and the relationship between the two was quite good, and as soon as they met, they smiled and took Luo Niangzi's hand, and boasted: "Your hand is really coincidental, my hair-combing maid can't learn the hairstyle you comb for me." ”

"Mrs. Jiang, I just wanted to talk to you," Luo Che made an embarrassed look and said, "Now I don't work in the Gold Powder Society anymore. ”

"Why is that?" Jiang couldn't help but be surprised: "You're not in the Gold Powder Society, who will comb my hair for me?" ”

This was exactly what Luo was in his heart, and he hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, I have formed another club with a few sisters who are familiar with me, and you don't have to go out of the house next time you want to comb your hair, just call me to the door." ”

Jiang has always been enthusiastic about good deeds, and frowned when he heard this: "How can you be so good and want to form another society?" But then the Zhou family was mean to you? ”

"It's not mean...... Luo Che made a look of embarrassment, and said: "Mrs. Zhou doesn't treat us badly in terms of wages, but she forces us to sign a contract, and we are not allowed to work outside without permission in the future." I was alone, and I had no savings, so I couldn't bear such a domineering request, so I quit the company. ”

"Isn't that mean?" Jiang's two thin eyebrows were raised high, and his face suddenly turned cold: "Zhou's is used to being smooth sailing, and he regards himself as a king?" That's not going to work, I've got to teach her a lesson. ”

After that, the Gold Powder Club didn't go either, and sent a few maidservants to deliver a message to the members who knew each other: "Come to the house quickly to discuss important matters." ”

In Zhou's villa, the officials and wives who arrived first were already chatting enthusiastically. In order to expand the recruitment this time, Du Baozhu and Zhou spent a lot of thought, the hair and makeup they prepared were all the latest, and they also specially asked the studio to send the latest dresses to match.

The ladies ate soft and sweet snacks and had their nails and hair done, and if it weren't for the antique decorations around them, the noodles would be almost exactly the same as a modern salon.

The effect is naturally very good, and both new and old members are very satisfied with this activity. However, Zhou's face was heavy and he pulled Du Baozhu aside: "Jiaojiao'er, Mrs. Jiang hasn't come yet, but you are not satisfied with the addition of new members to the Gold Powder Society?" ”
