After having fun at my grandfather's house for a day and playing with my sisters, the busy Zilan also relaxed and rested, and only returned home after taking the carriage in the afternoon.

After returning to the house, Song Zhengtian was still taking the school entrance exam in his study. He was about to go to the spring exam for the children and students in the spring exam, so it was necessary to tighten it.

Zilan changed into homely clothes, greeted Yang, and then went to the study room. She could read for a while while dawn.

Early the next morning, Mu Xiang took out her new clothes, and there were guests coming to the old house today.

I specially chose a regular red jacquard double-breasted outer jacket for Zilan, paired with an ink-colored Yuan forging jacket skirt. The embroiderer's ingenious thoughts and simple sketches. The embroidery looks like an ink painting, which is very artistic.

The red is too bright, and it really complements each other with ink pressure. The ink painting looks very elegant, so Zi Lan will not look too bright when wearing it.

Madam Qi smiled beside her and said, "Miss, this color combination looks very good. Your demeanor is particularly suitable for this ink dress."

"It looks good. I also like this dress, which makes people admire the embroiderer and take care of it."

Zilan smiled and thought about it and gave a reward.

"Yes, a note of agarwood."

"Yes, on the morning of September 16, the 25th year of Runde, the master rewarded Li Dani for two taels of silver in the sewing and thread room, and the rest of them had always been copper."

Chenxiang immediately stopped the work in his hand and took out the notebook in the small drawer and took it down with notes.

Nowadays, Zi Lan is in charge of most of the affairs of the Song family. Yang only asks about it regularly and spends most of his energy on clan affairs. The Song family has many trivial matters, and sometimes dealing with disputes will waste time.

All rewards and punishments are required to be recorded. How much rewards are received in a certain year, month and day?

Any records can belong to your own. You can take them away and spend them as you like. Even if you don’t have records, you can steal them. If you can prove that you have forgotten the record, someone will pass it.

This will greatly prevent the servants from sneaking or even making secrets. Their monthly routine is fixed, and there are not many rewards. Once you calculate, you will know if you have external intentions.

Zilan will check the people who give a lot of rewards based on this book and must be smart and good at work. When asking about the impressions of Madam Qi and others, he will not miss the promotion.

If you punish too much, you don’t have a good impression of people around you, then you have to consider whether there is any problem.

You can't talk bad about you when you work in a company. There are always two or three colleagues who can speak well. In fact, this is the same thing. EQ and IQ are also indispensable at work.

Madam Qi took it over and flipped it out. Everyone in the sewing room had a single door record. Zilan specifically asked for the record. It can be regarded as employee files. It can be counted as people from each department and it is convenient to view it.

"Li Xiuniang has made great progress in the past two years and her craftsmanship has also made great progress. Why don't you mention it?"

After seeing it, Madam Qi asked Zilan for his opinion.

Zilan thought about it and thought that she was very concerned about making clothes for the mother and daughter. She was amazing every time and was honest and not good at attracting favors.

"How much does she have?"

"The second-class money is one or two taels of silver per month."

This amount is worth the money of the maid, mainly because they are technical workers and those with abilities should get more, and they make money by relying on their skills.

"Well, let's get to the first-class embroidery girl. The monthly rate is to leave for two taels of silver for one month."

The first-time embroiderer's money doubles, of course the requirements are relatively high.

This Li Xiu Niang was specially asked by Yang from the Song family. She was an embroidered girl from Jiangnan. She was specially kept for Zilan as a dowry. There was no way, so who made her daughter not have a good embroidery work?

Moreover, the embroiderer's monthly income is really quite large. In addition to the monthly routine, she usually has good clothes, or rewards during festivals. With the rewards for a month, it is at least about three or five taels.

Therefore, there is an embroiderer at home who holds them all. The embroiderer does not do rough work or cooks food. Because his hands require softness and meticulousness, the master's fabric is very expensive. If you cut a thread, you can't use the whole piece.

For example, the brocade sent to my grandfather's house yesterday was of high value. Any piece of cloth was very expensive. This was not considered as woven gold. It was made into gold foil and used to draw silk with a machine. When using it, it weighed and collected. It was not worth it even if it was sold by the embroiderer's family, so it was naturally cautious.

Their hands are soaked in milk regularly and bought balm for maintenance. If they can’t drink them, they should protect their hands first.

There are very few people who drink milk here because cattle are used to plow the land. In ancient times, people were not good at raising cows and were not used to drinking them. Instead, there were many people who drank goat milk with a strong smell of sheep, and almost all those who had the conditions were drinking goat milk.

No one wants milk but it is cheaper. Poor families sometimes buy some for mothers and sick and weak people to drink.

"Yes, I'll inform you now and start taking the first-class monthly bill next month."

Madam Qi smiled and nodded.

"Well, I'm not worried about having a nanny. It's cold. After a few days, we'll go to the farm to take a hot spring. I still have a few medicinal herbs that you can use and take good care of your cold legs."

Zilan respects and is close to Madam Qi very much, so she will not be stingy.

"Okay, the old slave is in great health. The old cold legs have been stubborn for many years, so the eldest lady is worried."

"Everyone said that there is an old man in the family, and I am reminded by you, and I feel very at ease."

Madam Qi laughed happily. This child was grateful, smart and strong, and she could have a stable future with her.

After washing up, I went to the main room for breakfast, and Zi Yan was already waiting.

"Why is it so slow? Don't delay the morning class."

"No, I'm ready, why can't I delay? Mu Xiang, Cui Hao, came today, bring a gift?"

"Don't worry, Miss, I'll bring it."

"He is not an outsider either, what gift should he give him?"

Zi Yan said something unhappyly.

"Don't be stingy. He has been admitted to Lushan Academy this year. I heard that the master is very good. I hope you can get into the exam."

Zilan gave his brother a blank look, greeted his parents and sat down for breakfast.

A bowl of mixed grain porridge, with buns and side dishes made of meat.

"What do you have to go to Lushan Academy? I'm different from my clan studies? My uncle and dad regularly go to guide us in learning, which is no worse than any other family."

When Song Zhengtian heard this, he raised his head and smiled gently, "They are all the same. What your sister is looking at is not about the level of knowledge.

But as the disciple of the Master, the personal resources of these brothers and classmates can be regarded as a small friendship in the future, and this connection cannot be given to the Song family."

Zi Yan thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, my sister said it's good to go to Lushan Academy, so I'll go to the exam even after I pass the Tongsheng."

What my sister said is right, and she does whatever she wants, without any doubt.

Zi Lan then squinted her eyes and smiled, "When you pass by the juren, I hope you can go to Jiangnan and other places to study for three years and increase your knowledge. Do you read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles? Don't the saints say that, it must make sense."

"Well, you're thinking too far, why are you anxious? I'll definitely get back from taking the exam for you, otherwise how can I support you?"

Song Ziyan had already thought about it. He must have a place for the first three, and this is his goal.
