Fast time travel girl is equipped with a money-making system

Chapter 12 The little maid just wants to be free soon (12)

Not many people were happy after the meal, but Xu Zhiyi could tell that the atmosphere in Duke Gu's mansion was always like this, as he could tell by the calm actions of the maids and servants next to him.

After that day, Xu Zhiyi became Gu Tingyue's eldest maid. Shaoyao also became the second-class maid, and she looked at Xu Zhiyi with resentment in her eyes.

Xu Zhiyi didn't care about this, and felt that since they were just children, he didn't have to fight with her, so he could only take care of Gu Tingyue wholeheartedly.

There are many rules in the Duke's Mansion, many of which Xu Zhiyi cannot find even in the memory of the original owner. He can only guess based on what he heard from the teachers on the set. Fortunately, the author of this book is not very familiar with the rules.

, In addition, Gu Tingyue grew up in the Duke's Mansion, knew all the rules, and could also give some tips.

Probably because the life in the Duke's Mansion was too comfortable, Xu Zhiyi came back from shopping that day and wanted to use the small kitchen to cook a fresh dish for Gu Tingyue. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the gate of the Duke's Mansion, he was stopped by a maid.

Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Since the last lunch break, Aunt Lin had never come to look for him. Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. According to the original book, this Aunt Lin was definitely not someone who would give up.

She is a stranger, which is what she can take advantage of. She should have wanted to take advantage of her a long time ago. Why did she come to find her now, and in such a covert way?

Xu Zhiyi didn't know that Aunt Lin had actually come to see her many times, but she was interrupted or blocked by people arranged by Gu Tingfeng for various reasons.

We were able to catch her today only because she made a spur-of-the-moment extra meal.

Knowing he couldn't escape, Xu Zhiyi carried the vegetable basket and carefully walked into Aunt Lin's courtyard. Aunt Lin's courtyard was called Luoxia Garden. When the courtyard door opened, there was a row of maple trees. It was summer and the leaves had not turned red yet, but it was not difficult.

I imagine the beauty of autumn. There is a small pond behind the tree. One or two fish occasionally appear in the pond, and there are a few lotus flowers blooming in full bloom on the water surface.

A pavilion was built on the pool. At this time, Aunt Lin was sitting on the stone bench of the pavilion. One of the maids next to her was shaking a fan and the other was rubbing her back. The maid who came in with Xu Zhiyi walked over quickly and whispered in Aunt Lin's ear.

He said a few words.

Soon, Aunt Lin's eyes came over and she smiled and waved to Xu Zhiyi.

Xu Zhiyi didn't understand why Aunt Lin was treating her like this, but she still walked over calmly and never put down the food basket in her hand.

She was a little unsure. If Aunt Lin liked poisoning, and her food was accidentally poisoned, wouldn't she have to take the blame?

Seeing that Xu Zhiyi was always holding the basket, she probably guessed what she was thinking. Aunt Lin smiled disdainfully, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

"I heard that you used to be a maid in Master Yan's family. Why did you come to my house to be a maid? Did Miss Yan treat you badly?" Aunt Lin asked directly.

Xu Zhiyi was a little surprised, thinking that Aunt Lin was the type who hides hidden things in her skin, but she didn't expect that she was a straightforward person, which was a bit surprising.

Since she was direct, Xu Zhiyi was not tactful and replied directly: "Ms. Yan has no temper, but unfortunately the Yan family is really poor and the monthly payment is too little. It just so happens that the young lady likes my ability, so I will do it myself."

It’s time to choose a good tree to live on.”

After saying this, her face didn't turn red, and she was very proud of it. Aunt Lin's eyebrows twitched. It was difficult for her to praise herself so directly, but she couldn't say it out loud. It showed that she was not a successful person.

She calmed down slightly and continued: "It's been a few days since you've been with Miss, but are you still used to it?"

"There is no need to adapt to it. I am just a maid who works. As long as I am paid, I will adapt to it." Xu Zhi realized that he could not let go of his previous money-grubbing personality.

It seems that this maid is just as greedy for money as she found out. Aunt Lin is very satisfied. As long as she is greedy for money, if she is not greedy for anything, why bother wasting her time here with a little maid like her.

"That's very good. Come on, Xiaodie, bring me my box and let your sister pick out some beautiful pearl flowers." Aunt Lin said to a maid with a kind expression.

"This... this slave doesn't dare." Xu Zhiyi pretended to refuse, which made Aunt Lin even more satisfied.

"Originally, the Duke of Guo has no wife. I am the only concubine of the Duke of Guo, so I should perform the duties of a housekeeper. However, the old lady is worried about my weak body and is afraid that I will not be able to manage the family, so she

I have taken over the responsibility of being a housekeeper, but if you maids come over, I will reward each of you with something small, so you just have to take it."

When Xu Zhiyi heard this, he was so happy that he said quickly: "Thank you Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin is really a kind mistress."

Aunt Lin was very satisfied when she saw how good she was, so she let Xu Zhiyi go back early.

Xu Zhiyi looked at the beaded flower in her hand and felt it was a little hot. At this moment, a maid from Sashu whom she had met before came over and watched her come out of Aunt Lin's courtyard, her face full of surprise and curiosity.

Xu Zhi's plan came to his mind, and he quickly caught up with the maid, holding the beads and flowers, and said loudly: "Sister, I just realized today that Aunt Lin is such a kind-hearted person. When every maid comes into the house, she is rewarded with something like the one I got.

It’s really good for you to work as an errand in the Duke’s Mansion with things like pearl flowers. Not only is the monthly salary high, but even one reward from this master is enough for my previous monthly salary.”

The maid who was caught up had a puzzled look on her face. The maids who had been around the young lady before had always come and left quietly when they entered Aunt Lin's yard. Who was as loud as him? This maid seemed really stupid.

After that, Xu Zhiyi praised Aunt Lin even more when meeting people. The other servants all looked at her with incomprehensible expressions and did not dare to answer her words. Xu Zhiyi went back to Gu Tingyue's yard with a dry mouth and entered the door.

But she saw the male protagonist sitting in the courtyard, looking straight at her.

Xu Zhiyi saluted him nonchalantly and then ducked into the small kitchen.

Considering the hot weather these days, the old lady exempted her children and grandchildren from the daily rituals and let everyone eat in the courtyard.

After a while, Gu Tingfeng's attendant Zeqi came in. He looked at Xu Zhiyi with some curiosity and asked: "Sister Zhiyi, I heard that Aunt Lin gave you pearl flowers today?"

Xu Zhiyi nodded, his throat was a little dry and he didn't want to speak anymore, but Zeqi kept saying: "All the maids and servants in the Duke's mansion know that you praised Aunt Lin for her kindness. Tell me about it."

!”

Xu Zhiyi cooked boiled pork slices today. She had not been able to eat anything spicy for so many days in ancient times, which made her very greedy. Today, she finally went out and gathered the ingredients she needed. She put the dishes in the pot, boiled them, and returned

He said: "I've talked about it all the way. I don't want to say it anymore. It's pointless to tell you. I don't want to waste my breath."

Zeqi kept pestering him for a while, then he choked on Xu Zhiyi's chili and ran out of the kitchen.

When Xu Zhiyi prepared a portion of boiled pork slices and came out, he found that Gu Tingfeng and Zeqi were still in the yard, so he had to fill two more sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Although the old lady did not allow everyone to eat together, she still asked the kitchen to prepare the dishes, and the maids in each room went to get them themselves. Shaoyao had already brought back a lot of dishes.

After Shaoyao came back, she looked at Xu Zhiyi with a hint of ridicule and gloating in her eyes. She put down the dishes with some pride and stood aside.

"Shaoyao, please step back first." Gu Tingfeng spoke. Shaoyao was a little reluctant, but he still backed down obediently.

"Tell me now, why did you do that?" Gu Tingfeng spoke directly without a subject, but Gu Tingyue and Zeqi who were present both looked at Xu Zhiyi.

The goal of three updates on the weekend was achieved
