Chapter 63: Take care of your own people
"Okay, don't think about this matter!" The old lady looked annoyed, although she asked others not to think about it, but she couldn't help but always think about it, especially when she saw the flowing clouds and floating brocade just now, her heart stirred.
Mother Cui watched from the side, and naturally felt the old lady's thoughts clearly, and to a certain extent, she was still a little unbearable for Qiao Nianxi.
Everyone put their thoughts on Qiao Nianxi, she didn't care what others thought, she returned to the courtyard, put everything away, and handed over the rest of the tasks to the moon, and she lay down on the soft couch like no one!
The weather in early autumn was still hot, and Qiao Nianxi just lay down for a while, and his whole body was uncomfortably hot, and he couldn't stay in the house, so he could only get up and go to the pavilion to stay for a while.
"I really want to have a bowl of cold ice cream!"
Qiao Nianxi muttered as she walked in the direction of the gazebo, and around the corner of the garden, she caught a glimpse of a thin figure in her spare eyes, and her footsteps stopped.
Qiao Nianxi walked over lightly, and when she got closer, she saw clearly that it was Bai Ke, the second-class maid in front of the Lin family, who was now hiding in the flowers and crying!
Bai Ke didn't notice Qiao Nianxi watching her from the side, stopped crying for a while, reached out to wipe a handful of tears, and eased his emotions and walked in the direction of his room.
Watching Bai Ke leave, Qiao Nianxi's mind quickly turned.
"Miss, what do you want!"
Just when Qiao Nianxi stood stunned and thought about things, Saiyue came over from behind, followed Qiao Nianxi's gaze between words, and saw nothing, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Qiao Nianxi retracted her thoughts, and her eyes were still looking at the direction Bai Ke left: "Check Bai Ke, I want all the information about her." ”
"Yes!"
Saiyue responded, although he didn't understand, he didn't ask more, just looked at Qiao Nianxi's slightly serious expression, and was a little more vigilant.
Qiao Nianxi followed the moon to the pavilion, maybe because she was distracted by thinking about things, and she couldn't feel the heat just now.
Knowing that Qiao Nianxi likes to eat grapes, he deliberately took a plate of ice from the ice cellar when he came over, and when the gazebo took it out of the food box, Qiao Nianxi's eyes lit up.
"Miss's body is already a little cold, it's okay to eat a little of this thing, not too much. This is what Saiyue explained, Zhihua kept it in his heart, and as he spoke, he put the grapes on the table, and Saiyue reached out to pick one up and was ready to peel it for Qiao Nianxi.
However, before the two of them had time to make a move, they saw Qiao Nianxi directly take one and throw it into his mouth, even swallowing all the belt cores.
"Little ......"
Zhihua Sacrifice Moon was stunned in unison, but he didn't stop Qiao Nianxi's sharp action, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
Between the two of them, Qiao Nianxi stuffed another one into his mouth, raised his eyes to look at them, and said disapprerovingly: "Grapes are used to eat, grape skin contains anthocyanins, which can beautify and nourish the skin, grape seeds and grape seed polyphenols, and it is an extremely precious health care product, the most exquisite way to eat is like me, don't care about those details!"
As soon as Qiao Nianxi's words came out, Saiyue was stunned again, they didn't know anything about anthocyanins and grape seed polyphenols, listening to Qiao Nianxi's words, they seemed to be good things, but she had followed Guiyun to learn medicine for more than ten years, why hadn't she heard of it?
"Does Miss also understand pharmacology?" Sai Yue came to her senses, saw that Qiao Nianxi had already eaten several pieces, reached out and poured her a cup of tea and handed it over.
Qiao Nianxi swallowed the grapes in his mouth, took the tea and took a sip: "I don't understand, I just know a little bit about it." ”
The painting of the moon took a look at each other, didn't ask again, and changed the topic.
"This month's monthly case has been brought back, our yard is full of newcomers, Zhen's mother didn't dare to distribute it directly, I want to ask Miss what she means. ”
Saiyue said as he saw that the fruit bowl had bottomed out, and reached out to put it back in the brocade box.
Zhen's mother was a first-class mother who was brought up later, and Qiao Nianxi saw that she was loyal and careful, so she was relieved to hand over the matter to her.
Qiao Nianxi paused and nodded, but she was very satisfied with what Mother Zhen did.
"Go and prepare some money bags with the names of the people in our yard on them, and I will distribute the money myself. ”
After saying a word, Qiao Nianxi picked up the cup and took a shallow sip, and a fine light flashed between her clear and translucent eyes.
After noon, Qiao Nianxi gathered everyone in the hall.
These people, except for Zhihua, are all maids and mothers newly bought by the old lady, and they should have been sixteen, but Qiao Nianxi didn't like the crowd, so he only picked eight.
There are few people, so one person has to take on two jobs for the same job, which is also a bit hard to say, and now these people are more or less unsightly.
Qiao Nianxi's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and the corners of her lips hooked slightly: "It's been a while since everyone came to Mellow Fragrance Garden, but what do you have to say to me?"
While speaking, Qiao Nianxi took the tea brought by the sacrificial moon, seemingly drinking tea, but his eyes lingered on everyone's faces.
......
Didn't speak.
"It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, I just want to hear what you think, not against anyone. ”
Qiao Nianxi's face was sunny, the corners of her lips were hooked, and she brought out a faint smile, like a gust of wind, which seemed to blow away the low dark clouds in an instant.
Everyone glanced at each other, and they didn't understand what kind of medicine Qiao Nianxi was selling in this gourd, but they all heard about what happened after she came back, and they were worried and didn't dare to speak in vain.
Mothers have experienced a lot of things, and they are full of hearts, but a few little maids are high-minded, and there are not enough people during this time they come to Mellow Xiangyuan, and they are tired and tired every day, and they have long had opinions.
"Miss, I, I have something to say!"
One of the handsome-looking maids walked out, and after saying a word, fell to her knees with a thud.
Qiao Nianxi was stunned for a moment, her eyes lingered on the maid, and asked, "Are you Qingluo?"
Qingluo was stunned for a moment, she was Qiao Nianxi's second-class maid, usually with Zhihua Saiyue beside her, she almost couldn't enter the house, and was only in charge of some guys in the yard, but she didn't expect Qiao Nianxi to remember her name.
"Yes!"
Qingluo responded, I don't know if it was because she was nervous, or because Qiao Nianxi remembered her name and was moved, so she kowtowed on the ground.
"Get up and speak!"
Qiao Nianxi waved her hand, and when she saw Qingluo stand up, her eyes fell on her face.
Qingluo is young among the people in the same yard, Qiao Nianxi mentioned her to be a second-class maid, not because she worked neatly, but because this girl had a wit and stubbornness in her eyes, to put it bluntly, she was very similar to herself.
Sleek and obedient people who know how to look at their eyes, this town and country Houfu grabbed a lot of them, Qiao Nianxi wanted someone who really followed her, for example, dared to tell the truth in front of her!
Qingluo stood up, looked up at Qiao Nianxi, wrung her handkerchief a little nervously, calmed down, and said: "The people in our yard are half of the people in other yards, but there is a lot of work at all, it's not that slaves and maids are tired, but one person is really too busy to do things for two people!"
The people who were hesitant just now, when they heard Zhihua's words, they couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement, no matter how much they live, there are few people anyway!
Qiao Nianxi still pursed her lips and smiled, the tea in her hand was drunk to the bottom, and she put it on the table, and the bottom of the cup made a crisp sound on the edge of the table, and the distant sound shook people's hearts.
Qingluo lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Qiao Nianxi, and nervously twisted the silk handkerchief.
Qiao Nianxi looked at the changes on everyone's faces, but instead hooked the corners of her lips: "I have seen everyone's hard work these days, so I asked the old lady for double the monthly case for everyone." ”
"Ahh......h
"Thank you, Miss!"
"Miss is really the best master!"
When everyone heard Qiao Nianxi's words, they were stunned for a moment, and when they reacted, the little grievance on their faces instantly turned into excitement, and they knelt down and kowtowed to Qiao Nianxi.
Qingluo was also stunned, unlike other people's excitement, she seemed to be a little embarrassed to pick this head.
Qiao Nianxi waved his hand to let everyone get up, and added a few more words: "You are working in the Mellow Fragrance Garden, you are my people, I will give you benefits, but whether you can get double or not depends on yourself." ”
The smile on everyone's faces froze, and they looked up at Qiao Nianxi, not understanding.
Qiao Nianxi put down the cup in his hand, stood up, met the puzzled eyes of everyone, and explained: "The basic monthly routine is still given to you as usual, and I will give the extra part according to your usual performance. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces showed colorful expressions, and even a few subconsciously dodged back, lowering their heads and not daring to look at Qiao Nianxi.
The performance of everyone these days, Qiao Nianxi knew very well in her heart, and she also saw everyone's performance in her eyes, and between speaking, she turned around and glanced at the sacrifice moon, and the sacrifice moon walked over with the tray that slowed down the money bag.
"The money in the money bag is your monthly routine for the month, and the amount of money is kept secret from anyone else. ”
After Qiao Nianxi finished speaking, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he was still sitting on the chair just now, with a look that everyone couldn't understand between his clear eyes.
The money bag was distributed in the hands of the corresponding people, and everyone looked at the money inside, with different expressions on their faces, especially Qingluo, whose eyes were red when they saw it, but everyone bit their lips and didn't let the tears fall.
There was more money in the money bag than in her two months! It turned out that Qiao Nianxi was all in her eyes!
Qiao Nianxi probably guessed their thoughts from everyone's expressions, and his face was still calm, but the words he said added a sense of majesty: "This month's monthly money is like this, if you want to get more, you have to work hard yourself, and those who get less should also think about it yourself!"
In one sentence, a few unwilling people lost their temper in an instant, and looked up at Qiao Nianxi's eyes that almost penetrated people's hearts, and inexplicably felt a sense of weakness, and they didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Qiao Nianxi retracted his gaze, casually towards everyone, and continued: "Everyone is doing things in Mellow Fragrance Garden, I will treat you as my own people, as long as you come to me for anything, I will do my best to do what I can, but if anyone has any thoughts, I will definitely not show mercy!"
Everyone was trembling by Qiao Nianxi's words, especially a few sneakers and tricksters, and now their heads are about to fall to the ground!
