Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money
Chapter 25: Brainstorming, the master and servants seek a way out
It turned out that he was afraid that she would go to Mr. Lin to complain.
She thought that this sachet had some earth-shattering secret, but it turned out to be a trivial matter.
She thought everyone was like her, who liked to stab people in the back.
Yu Xi curled her lips, she really overestimated them.
This was also what Liu was worried about. Lin Yuhe said it directly, and Liu gave Hongyu a wink.
When Yu Xi saw this look, she naturally understood what it meant.
She didn't give them a chance to attack, and said with a smile:
"Sister, you really misunderstood me. At the beginning, my sister said that she would give me the sachet. The sachet is finely crafted, and I like it very much. That's why I couldn't bear to return it to my sister. Now that my sister has asked for it, I can't take it away from her."
As she said that, she handed the sachet to Hongyu. After getting the sachet, Lin Yuhe finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Yuxi was even more smug. After all, she still couldn't beat him.
Yuxi pouted. She was not afraid of her.
She just didn't want to cause trouble for herself. She wouldn't be able to live in peace until she handed over the sachet.
They would certainly find excuses to cause trouble for her from time to time, but she had serious things to do and didn't have that much time to spend with them.
The courtyard is complex and interpersonal relationships are indispensable. Without some money, it would be difficult to move forward.
Just the two words "gossip can melt gold" and "ashes can destroy a person" are enough to make her suffer.
Of course, if she didn't reward him, no one would dare to say anything to her face, but there would definitely be a lot of sarcastic remarks behind her back.
From talking about one's background to one's appearance, and then from one's appearance to one's character, in short, nothing good can be said.
Yuxi couldn't hear it, but Luyun, Cuizhu and Cuiping heard it many times and got angry with others for it, but in the end they got nothing in return.
In the past she was short of money and couldn't take care of it, but now she has some money and can put a small part of it aside to be prepared.
She was not a stingy person, and giving out a few coins appropriately was a way of surviving in the house by exchanging limited money for infinite peace and tranquility.
"Take a silver note and exchange it for silver. It would be best if you could exchange it for some small change or copper coins."
Yuxi instructed Luyun.
She was a well-known poor person in the mansion, with a monthly salary of only two taels. It was already good enough for her to be able to spend some money to reward the servants.
It can't be too much or too complete, otherwise if Liu hears about it, she will accuse her of stealing.
So she has to be low-key and just spend a penny.
The next issue is making money. Three hundred taels will be enough for her to spend for a long time.
But Yuxi doesn't like to live off the fat of the land, and the only way to go is to make money from money.
It’s a pity that she can’t get away now and there’s no one available. She can’t let the maid run out every day.
It would be strange if people didn't suspect me. What business can make money without leaving home?
As he was thinking this, Cuizhu came in with the medicine.
Yuxi's face fell when she smelled the medicine, and she pinched her nose and refused to drink it.
"I'm already well, why do I need to take medicine? Take it away."
How could Luyun obey her? She was frightened after being sick once.
"How is it better? I was still coughing on the way back. The old lady said that I have to take this medicine for five days before I can stop. Otherwise, if the young lady does something wrong again, I will be held responsible."
When she heard that she had to take the medicine for another five days, Yuxi's face turned as dark as the color of the medicine.
Yuxi poked Luyun's head with her finger:
"Who do you belong to? Do you have to take the medicine for five days just because the old lady told you to? If you take this medicine twice more, I, your master, will either die of illness or suffer a lot."
However, Yuxi was still touched when she knew that Luyun really cared about her.
Lu Yun pouted her lips slightly, feeling quite aggrieved, and said in a low voice:
"There are also candied fruits. If you eat a few, it won't be bitter."
The lady is good in every way except that she is very difficult to serve when she is taking medicine.
Yuxi's lips twitched after hearing this. She really wanted to pry open her brain to see what was inside. Did she think that eating two candied fruits would relieve her bitter mouth?
Cuizhu and Cuiping stood aside and covered their mouths with their hands and laughed. Yuxi glanced at them and they immediately fell silent.
In the end, Yuxi drank the medicine and threw the bowl away because it was so bitter.
He stuck out his tongue and kept shouting "candied fruit". When the bitter taste in his mouth faded a little and his complexion improved a lot, he asked:
"Do you know any way to make money?"
As the saying goes, one person's shortcomings are equal to two people's strengths. More people helping to find a solution means more opportunities.
The three of them looked at each other, not understanding what their master was planning for a moment, and shook their heads. They really didn't dare to make any rash suggestions. If anything went wrong, they would not be able to survive even if they died a hundred times.
Yu Xi rolled her eyes at them. These three girls were too timid. She patiently explained:
"Cuizhu and Cuiping, you two were once the old lady's people. The old lady gave you to me out of pity for me, so I treat you as my own family. You all know my situation. I only get two taels of silver a month. Not to mention buying some things, it's not enough to feed the four mouths in our small garden. What's more, you don't have much money to manage in the deep house. Your life is not easy. Since you followed me, no matter how incompetent I am, I can't let others bully you."
After hearing Yuxi's words, the three of them were moved to tears.
They were all children from poor families who had no choice but to sell themselves as slaves.
Your life is in the hands of its master. If you meet someone who treats human life as worthless, you can only accept your fate and die.
They just want to do their job peacefully and try not to make mistakes. If they are lucky enough to meet a good master, it is also their blessing.
Cuizhu and Cuiping had been with Yuxi for quite some time and knew her temperament to some extent. They were moved and grateful by what she said.
Cuiping is the oldest of the four, the same age as Luyun, but two months younger:
"I can embroider some handkerchiefs and make some lace, and sell them to supplement my living expenses."
When Yuxi heard that she was going to do embroidery, she looked at the needle and thread not far away and shook her head subconsciously.
It's okay to ask her to use her fists and feet, but if you want her to embroider like a lady, just kill her directly.
Cuiping naturally didn't want to sell Yuxi's embroidery work, after all, she was a respectable lady of the Lin family.
Embroidery is something that women keep close to their heart and is very private; how can it be left on the market for anyone to pick and choose?
Yuxi was even more unwilling after hearing this, because she wanted to make money.
But if the maid had to earn money to support her, she would rather not have it.
It was hard enough to serve her on a daily basis, she couldn't exploit them inhumanely.
When the three of them found out, they were moved again.
This is not allowed, that is not allowed, Yuxi hates this kind of restricted life.
He threw himself on the bed in frustration and then let out a muffled cry.
Yu Xi covered the back of her head which was hurt by the collision, picked up the culprit and threw him out. The wooden pillow fell to the ground with a thud.
Yuxi felt that everything was going wrong for her, even her pillow was bullying her. She really couldn't understand why pillows in ancient times were so hard. She really wanted a soft pillow.
