To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

Lin Ruhai was a seasoned official, and the carrot and stick approach was his usual tactic.

First, he expressed his gratitude to the two maids for coming from afar, and then talked about his bottom line principles.

Every word she said expressed her deep love for her daughter, allowing the two maids to experience for themselves how to treat Mr. Lin's beloved daughter.

Being too strict wouldn't do, as Lin Daiyu was the boss's favorite. Being too lenient wouldn't work either, as Mr. Lin was afraid his daughter would suffer in the future.

Then they gave them a sweet treat. What the two maids feared most was being left alone in their old age. It would not be Lin Daiyu who would take care of them in the future, but the Lin family.

This level is very serious. Both of the maids are smart people. Even a fool in the palace can't survive one episode!

The Lin family hired them based on the offerings, and as long as Lin Daiyu was not stupid, they would take the job.

Nanny Qin and Nanny Tao hurriedly expressed their loyalty: "Master Lin, we old sisters have something to say, we two old sisters have no one left in our family, and we will do our best to assist the young lady in the future.

Our future honor and disgrace will be shared by the young lady. Then the two of them bowed to Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai did not refuse these two maids and they would be the Lin family's servants in the future.

Lin Ruhai smiled and pushed two boxes towards the two maids: "This is the money for you two maids to settle down. From now on, your monthly allowance in the mansion will be 20 taels each. There will be additional allowances for the three festivals and two birthdays."

The two maids bowed and thanked him, then took the box and went to rest. Lin Ruhai asked them to rest for two days. After all, they were old and the long journey would make them sick. Lin Ruhai was afraid that they would get sick.

Even a black-hearted boss cannot work his employees to death, otherwise who will work for him?

The two maids came to the small courtyard where they were staying. There were five main rooms and side rooms on both sides.

It looked spacious, bright and clean, and what was rare was that the bedroom and the living room were inlaid with glass, which made the room brighter all of a sudden.

The room was warm with silver frost charcoal burning without a trace of charcoal smoke. The entire set of rosewood furniture was polished to a spotless finish.

The antique display shelf is filled with ornaments depicting good fortune, longevity, and happiness, as well as some Yangzhou-style handmade lacquer plates.

The rosewood bed was covered with a sky-blue canopy embroidered with silvery-white silk thread, and each gourd was cute and plump.

The gourd symbolizes fortune and luck, and this tent looks quite impressive. The bedding on the bed is new and soft to the touch, with the finest Hangzhou satin on the outside and the finest Songjiang twill white cloth underneath.

The two maids touched the inside of the quilt and found it was warm. It was obvious that someone had heated it with charcoal fire.

This isn't a cotton quilt; it's a silk blanket made from the finest double-palace cocoons. The daffodils on the Eight Immortals table exude a delicate fragrance, adding a touch of elegance to the room.

Nanny Qin and Nanny Tao were very satisfied and said to the little maidservant beside them, "This is really a bit too much. It's a bit of a waste for two old ladies like us to live in such a nice house."

Shuang'er and Xue'er, the maidservant who was watching over the two maids, were also very shrewd: "Madam, you are very polite.

All of this was specially prepared by the young lady. The furnishings and utensils were all personally selected by the young lady. Mammy, come here and we're family.

The young lady also specifically told you two elders not to be shy and just treat the place like your own family."

The two maids couldn't help but nod secretly. As expected of the eldest daughter of the Lin family, which had been a noble family for five generations, her conduct and taste were impeccable.

The two old sisters were completely relieved. This was a good job and it would not be difficult for the eldest daughter of the Lin family to teach her.

After the two maids finished washing up, the kitchen in the mansion brought in a delicious meal: braised pork elbow with ham, braised lion's head, stir-fried shrimp, and stir-fried water spinach. Also, a bowl of sour bamboo shoot and chicken skin soup.

The older ones like soft and mushy food, and the two maids are very satisfied with their treatment.

After eating and drinking, the maids cleared the dishes, and the dishes would not be wasted. The serving maids and the cleaning women would eat them all.

This is the hierarchy. Servants have their own set of dishes. Servants are also divided into different ranks. Those who follow their masters can eat their masters' leftovers.

In ancient times, productivity was low, and families would not hesitate to throw away leftover meat and fish. Naturally, they would make the best use of things.

The Lin family is very careful. The dishes are not large in size and the ingredients are strictly controlled, but there are many varieties.

The servants in the Lin Mansion all ate from a big pot, which consisted of white rice, one dish and one soup, and there was some meat with every meal.

The two maids opened the boxes given by Lin Ruhai, and each box contained two hundred taels of small yellow gold bars.

The two maids were completely satisfied. Since their master was so generous, they could not be stingy and would do their best to protect the young lady for the rest of her life.

After a two-day rest, Nanny Qin and Nanny Tao cleaned themselves up and came to the courtyard where Lin Daiyu lived in plain clothes.

Seeing the servants handling things in an orderly manner, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy that this was a promising outcome. The thing servants fear most is a master who is incompetent and useless.

When the two saw Lin Daiyu, who looked like a fairy concubine, they couldn't help but nod secretly. Her appearance would be outstanding no matter where she was.

The two maids bowed to Lin Daiyu, who dodged them. The three of them sat down to talk.

Lin Daiyu found that the two maids were very kind and treated her as their own and taught her seriously.

For example, today when we were learning to bow, two maids took turns saying, "Young lady, you are doing it very well, but it would be better if you put your hand down a little bit.

I'll do it once for you, girl. It's absolutely right. You're a rare insightful person."

The relationship between the three people quickly heated up, and Lin Ruhai was very satisfied with this. Of course, he did not forget to give the loyalty pill to the two old maids.

Under the guidance of the two old maids, Daiyu's every move was graceful, and her actions, sitting and lying were indescribably beautiful.

Lin Daiyu, who is extremely smart and always keeps her words and deeds flawless, has now taken off directly, making a qualitative leap in just three months.

Now the inner house of the Lin family is managed by Lin Daiyu, including the dowry left by Jia Min.

The most important thing for the two maids was to teach Lin Daiyu about the preferences of officials and how to give gifts according to her level.

Who has what relationship with whom, who is at odds with whom, these factions are the experience that the two maids have figured out after a lifetime of immersion in the palace.

Lin Daiyu absorbed the knowledge of the two old maids like a sponge. When she was happy, she would occasionally do some needlework. The less savvy ones would advise her:

"Knitting and needlework are very important to girls. Girls should practice it."

The two maids scoffed at this and said, "We don't need to pay attention to the foolish words of the young lady. There is no need for the young lady to learn those nonsense.

Just sew a few stitches when you feel like it. The girl is a precious person, and you just need to know how to recognize various fabrics and embroidery techniques.

Your maids, big and small, should really learn this. Making this is very demanding on the eyes. We'll have people who can help with needlework in the future, so there's no need to bother with this.

What girls should learn most is how to manage accounts and interact with others. Don't listen to those idiots' nonsense.

My dear girl, you have been embroidering for a quarter of an hour. If other young masters had your enthusiasm, they would probably be the top scorers in the imperial examinations!

"Miss, let's take a break and let Aunt Tao tell you some stories!"
