Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 325
Mrs. Wang asked people what was going on, and only then did they know that it was the maids who heard that Gu Yin was not feeling well and needed someone to serve, so they all volunteered to come.Â
“It just so happens that you can meet them.” Mrs Wang said, “When you meet them, you can find a way out for them.”Â
Gu Yin nodded and let everyone in.Â
Because the New Year was coming, the maids had already put on the new clothes Mrs. Wang bought.Â
Everyone wore silver red and aqua blue cotton jackets according to their previous grades in the palace.Â
Not to mention, all of them were good-looking and beautiful, and some of the older maids were even more beautiful, and they were not inferior to the performers from the palace like Yuan Xiaoyuan and the others.
Gu Yin first ordered a few older maids to come forward and asked them if they had any skills.Â
They were also raised like half-masters, and they were all good in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and performed for Gu Yin one by one.Â
Gu Yin thought about it and said, “This is good. We still lack a few people on the third floor. Although you are not as talented as the performers of the palace, compared with ordinary people, you are superior. Just follow me. If you go to work there, you won’t be considered slaves in the future, and the deeds of your slavery will also be returned to you. The wages will be calculated first. We will also give you performance appraisals later.”
A few older maids were so happy. Did they want to be slaves and maids all their lives? Of Course not!
They were also moved when they heard that Mrs. Wang was willing to let them leave the house and give them a sum of money to settle down.Â
It was just that they didn’t have any other skills to make a living except for talents that were beyond ordinary people.Â
If they were helpless outside, they were afraid that after going out, their appearance and talent would become the source of disaster.Â
Therefore, they felt blessed.Â
Two older maids came out at the back. One looked a little different and the other was mute, but they also had other abilities.Â
In the past, they were responsible for showing the masters the private treasury and managing the small accounts, and they were clear about the women’s food and clothing expenses.Â
Gu Yin ordered them to work in the account room on the third floor – at that moment the account of ‘Food of Heaven’ was under the charge of Manager Zhou, but he could handle the account on the first and second floors by himself. Since a third floor was added, he was naturally struggling.Â
And what the third floor sold was not food, but a sense of atmosphere, so many women’s things were added.Â
Gu Yin was going to let them look at the accounts on the third floor. Of course, she didn’t have a deep relationship with those two people, and it was impossible to trust them as much as she trusted Manager Zhou, so she decided to supervise them first, and she would also check the accounts frequently.Â
The rest were of course unskilled.Â
Gu Yin looked at them.
Not knowing who started first, the rest of the maids knelt down.Â
“This slave knows the acupoints and is very good at massaging.”Â
“This slave can massage oil on the head and it can keep the lady’s hair in a good way.”Â
 “This slave can massage the feet!”Â
“This slave can… throw the chamber pots.”
They had their own strengths, but in the past few years, they had been doing the errands of serving others, and they were not particularly outstanding.Â
Gu Yin asked them all to get up and said, “I heard what you said, let me think about it.”Â
She sent them away, and in the afternoon, she took a few maids to her restaurant.Â
Xiaoyuan and others had already performed, and Second Madam Wen and the others had all arrived one after another.Â
Just like Gu Yin, everyone’s face was full of tiredness after a hangover.Â
When they met, everyone laughed.Â
Second Madam Wen shook her head and said, “If I knew I would’ve stayed with you last night. After I went back I didn’t feel good when I left, and I almost vomited in the carriage.”Â
“Me too, I almost vomited.”Â
“There are many wing rooms in the backyard of this restaurant, so maybe people can stay there. Mrs. Gu, you don’t have to make it too good, it’s enough to have a bed.”Â
The friend next to her joked, “You can’t let your maid serve you when you sleep. Can you sleep on your own?”Â
The talking woman smiled, patted her and said, “Can I bring my maid out?”Â
Everyone was gossiping, but Gu Yin came up with an idea and said, “The wing rooms are in repair. They are not open for the time being, but ladies, give me a few days, and then I will definitely give everyone a place to stay.”Â
Later, Gu Yin introduced the older maids she brought to everyone, and when they heard that they could play chess, a few women had itchy hands, so they talked to them on the spot.
Gu Yin ordered a bowl of hangover soup for each of them, and then went to contact the workers who she had used not long ago.Â
