Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Lady in Charge
When I heard the voice of this palace maid, I felt a little familiar, and when I saw the appearance and name of this palace maid, I remembered the palace maid who came to deliver the word when it was snowing a few days ago. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Isn't that a person from the Queen Mother's Palace?Why is it being pointed out to me now??...... This is what the Queen Mother means?
I pondered, momentarily stunned. Seeing this, Si Kite whispered to me beside me: "Little master...... The little master ...... "I reacted and said to Grandpa De: "Father-in-law De, I am sorry for your hard trip, be careful, please have a cup of tea." As he spoke, Nian Yang escaped from a cloth pocket and stuffed it into the hands of Father-in-law De.
Father-in-law De resigned a few times, and accepted it with peace of mind. He turned his head to Rong Yan and said, "Since you have come here, you naturally have to stay alive and serve your master carefully, but don't have any more moths!" Rong Yan bowed his head and said yes, and the German father-in-law said goodbye and left.
I turned my head and glanced at Nianyang, and Nianyang followed the statue of Grandpa De. Only then did I turn my head to look at the palace maid Rong Yan who was standing quietly in front of me. She is an "old" palace maid. This old man does not mean how old she is, but that her time in the palace is not short. This is the age of seniority, not the age of the individual.
This kind of "oldness" has been clearly revealed in her body. For example, she has become accustomed to standing quietly for a long time without moving, for example, her posture is in line with the rules and does not look dull. This posture is a habit that can only be honed by years of life in the palace, deep into the bones, and cannot be changed. Unlike the little palace maid who has just entered the palace, her feet will be sore, and her feet will be sore, and the master will let her look up, and she will be high or low, etc.
Such an "old palace maid" is the right-hand man that many concubines want. It's just that...... The premise is that her master is me. I looked at her like this, and she could feel my gaze on her, but she still straightened her spine, motionless, neither humble nor arrogant.
I smiled and said to her, "If you come, you will be safe." When you come to this Xianfu Palace, you are a family. I don't have any rules here, but I just have to remember that since you are my palace maid, you are naturally one with me. One is prosperous, and one is lost. The slave who betrays the master has no day to rise in this palace. With that, he fixed his eyes on her.
After listening to me, Rong Yan leaned over and saluted again: "Yes." Since the slave and maid have entered this Xianfu Palace, they are naturally the master's people. We must think about the master wholeheartedly and live up to the master's trust. ”
I nodded with satisfaction and said, "Have you brought the luggage?" The two rooms on the north side are for four girls, and one of the two rooms on the south side is for Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Chenzi. Then he said to Si Yuan: "You go and call Ling'er Dong'er, Xiaofuzi and Xiaochenzi back." We have someone in charge in the palace, so naturally we want to meet it. ”
Si Yuan said yes, so he went to call a few people over, except for Nian Yang, who went out with Father-in-law De, the others came back. I said to them, "This is Rong Yan, the palace maid sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can call her Aunt Rong. ”
At my suggestion, Rong Yan also opened his mouth and said to a few palace maids and eunuchs: "From today on, I will be the palace maid in charge of the little master. In the future, we must support each other and serve the little master together. I entered the palace a few years earlier than you, and you can also call me Sister Sheng on weekdays, but if I find out who is not good for the little master, then don't blame me for punishing you harshly!"
Si Yuan took the lead and said: "If Sister Rong is dedicated to the little master, the slaves and maids will naturally obey. This sentence made her attitude undoubted-if Aunt Rong was dedicated to the little master, I would naturally obey you. But the implication is that if you come up with something that is not good for the little master, I will naturally refuse.
Ling'er and Dong'er saluted and said, "Slaves and maids should obey their aunt's orders." "They are not like Si Kite and Nian Yang, they are my personal palace maids, and they were brought into the palace by me from outside the palace, if there is a dispute, maybe I will still face them, not Rong Yan. For the maids of the sprinkled palace, the aunt in charge has the right to punish them. If the master doesn't care, the aunt in charge can punish them with punishments such as not being allowed to eat, punishing standing, and so on. Therefore, they naturally did not dare not listen to the words of the aunt in charge.
Xiao Fuzi said happily: "If my aunt has any instructions, just tell our brothers." If we can do it, we can't say anything. After that, he also looked at the house on the south side, and said, "After a while, the slave and Xiao Chenzi will clean up the house and let my aunt live." Xiao Chenzi also nodded in response.
Rong Yan listened to their words, and said with a smile: "We are both slaves and maids of the little master, so naturally we have to devote ourselves to the little master." I would also like to thank the two fathers-in-law for helping to clean up the room. ”
I saw that they were getting along harmoniously, so I interjected, "Okay, okay, there will be time for you to get acquainted with each other." You'd better clean up your room first. Otherwise, if it is night, your Aunt Rong Yan will have no place to live. ”
Ling'er stuck out her tongue and muttered in a low voice: "If that's the case, it's okay to squeeze with us all night......" Rong Yan heard it and glanced at her, and Ling'er immediately shut up and didn't speak. I saw this detail and thought to myself, there is a sensible palace maid in charge to help restrain the palace maids below, and it really saves a lot of worry. Otherwise, I have to worry about whether these girls will get into trouble in the future.
I turned around and went back to the room, Si Yuan went back to the room with me, I asked her to find out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and continued to copy the scriptures to be given to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift in the first month, and Si Yuan was grinding ink on the side and waiting.
And Rong Yan and Ling'er Dong'er, Xiaofuzi and Xiao Chenzi went to clean up the room, the two eunuchs did some work that required great energy, and Ling'er Dong'er did some sprinkling and wiping work. Several palace maids and eunuchs worked together to clean up a house, and it didn't take much time.
After a while, Nian Yang returned. Nian Yang is a clever girl, I just glanced at her, just to let her go out with Father-in-law De and see if I can find out any news.
Nian Yang entered the door, first glanced at the few people who were still cleaning up, and made sure that they were all busy and it was impossible to come back in a short time. Then he closed the door, walked up to me, and talked to me: "Little master, the slave and maid followed Father-in-law De out of the door, and gave Father-in-law De a red envelope." When the Duke saw the slave and maid doing this, he naturally understood what the slave and maid wanted. Later, he told the slave a secret. ”
I didn't interrupt her, but Nian Yang paused for a short time before continuing: "The position of the palace maid in charge was arranged by the queen mother to be selected by the Internal Affairs Office. ”
