Chapter 104
Beside the Old Matriarch, there are eight first-class maids, such as Yuanyang, Hupo, Boli, etc.
These maids have a monthly salary of one tael of silver.
And beside the young masters and young ladies, there cannot be first-class maids, only four second-class maids.
For example, Zijuan and Xueyan beside Daiyu; Siqi beside Yingchun; Shishu beside Tanchun; Ruhua beside Xichun, etc.
"That's great, this way we are also first-class maids."
Hearing Qingwen was very excited and happy.
You must know.
Bed-chamber maids, first-class maids, and second-class maids personally serve the master's clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and serve tea and water.
Their work is easy and decent, they wear gold and silver, have generous treatment, and receive many rewards; they belong to the second-tier masters of the Jia residence.
Ordinary wives and nannies dare not offend them.
For example, the Liu family fawns over Fangguan; when Siqi smashed the small kitchen, she didn't dare to make a sound, and even made egg custard and sent someone to deliver it. Qiuwen insisted on taking the hot water from the nanny's hand to wash Baoyu's hands.
The most miserable are the third-class maids.
The salary is only one string of coins.
And they cannot enter the master's room to serve; they have to run errands and do miscellaneous work.
For example, watering flowers, feeding birds, carrying water, boiling water, watching the stove, and other rough work.
Xiaohong just poured tea for Baoyu once, and was scolded by Qiuwen: "You shameless, low-class thing, go look in the mirror, are you fit to serve tea and water!"
First-class maids can discipline and scold small maids. Once a little maid arrives in the master's courtyard, she is the master's person; the first-class maid can beat and scold her, and her own mother has no right to discipline her.
Sheyue once said to Fangguan's foster mother: "Even if she is your own daughter, since she has been assigned to a room and has a master, the master has the right to beat and scold her; furthermore, the older girls and sisters can beat and scold her, who allowed the parents to interfere in the middle?"
Hearing Qingwen was fine at the Lai family.
The rank was relatively high.
But it didn't work at the Jia residence.
She was only a second-class maid.
But she still only had the role of being ordered around by bed-chamber maids and first-class maids.
This was truly unbearable for the proud Hearing Qingwen.
But now!
Both of them became first-class maids, with a monthly salary of one tael, and their work was decent and easy, and they could order 397 people around, having power.
Even Xiren was very happy.
"Thank you, Master!"
Xiren and Hearing Qingwen immediately thanked him.
"Hmm."
"You must work hard in the future, otherwise you must be careful about being demoted."
Jia Hui put on airs and threatened.
The effect was naturally excellent!
Xiren and the two women were startled.
They both nodded repeatedly like chicks pecking at rice.
Jia Hui laughed heartily.
Finally, he took Jia Yun to the government office.
The shops worth nearly ten thousand taels contributed by Jia Zhen were completely transferred and renamed to Jia Hui.
Originally, Jia Hui wanted to go see those shops.
But looking at the sky, it was already late.
It was dusk.
They had been running around for a long time.
He wasn't tired.
But Jia Yun and the others were exhausted!
So Jia Hui said: "Today's itinerary is over, let's go, let's all go back."
"Yes, Lord Viscount."
Jia Yun and the others breathed a sigh of relief, their expressions relaxed as they agreed with a smile.
Jia Hui was just about to flip onto his horse.
"Lord Viscount, please wait!"
Suddenly, a seductive and moving voice rang out.
Jia Hui and the others looked in the direction of the sound.
It was a voice coming from the east end of the street.
The person who came was a woman dressed in light orange, with a palace skirt, hairpins like stars and moon, a slender waist, and a beautiful face.
Looking closely, she stepped down from a soft sedan chair with a smile like a flower.
She walked over gracefully.
Her face was full and beautiful, like a peony flower blooming quietly, graceful and still!
Her crystal-clear jade face under her dark hair was like a begonia flower in bloom.
Under a pair of distant mountain eyebrows, a pair of long, narrow phoenix eyes stared brightly at Jia Hui!
She was followed by several servants.
Jia Hui looked at the other party calmly, not in a hurry to speak.
"I, Qin Banruo of the Red Sleeve Recruitment, pay respects to the Lord Viscount!"
Before Jia Hui could respond.
Her expression became serious, and she suddenly said: "Does the Lord Viscount know that you are in great danger now!".
【77】 Qin Banruo: Little brother is easily manipulated! (8)
At the entrance of the government office.
"Lord Viscount."
"The Red Sleeve Recruitment, along with the Miaoyin Workshop, is one of the most famous brothels in Jingcheng."
"Those who come and go are all high-ranking officials and nobles."
When Qin Banruo reported her identity.
Xiren and Hearing Qingwen were both confused.
Clearly knowing nothing about the other party.
Jia Yun had seen the world, after all, he often ran outside.
Jia Hui glanced at this kid; had he patronized it?
After a second thought, he shook his head.
Basically impossible.
This kid was so poor that supporting his family was difficult; how could he afford to consume there?
At most, visiting a low-class brothel was about right.
Don't even think about a high-class brothel.
To put it bluntly, this brothel is a whorehouse.
It's just a more high-class, elegant whorehouse.
Low-class places are called brothels, and prostitutes are called whores.
The difference between the two is.
In a low-class brothel, you agree on a price and go straight to the point without any fuss.
As for a high-class brothel.
The place is more upscale, and the prostitutes have more skills; they must at least light up one skill among music, chess, calligraphy, painting, blowing, pulling, playing, and singing.
To put it bluntly, they are like modern celebrities.
A bit more coy.
