Chapter 32: Bonding
He Yuying's father is a court official, and his family is also well-off, and He Yuzhu's father is He Yuying's uncle, who is a businessman who opened a tea house in Tianyang City.
"Yuying's father is an official, it's so good, our family can only count on me." After listening to He Yuying's words, Zhang Lian'er showed a look of envy in her eyes.
Zhang Lian'er's family is naturally much worse than He Yuying, she is not from the capital, but from a small town in the southwest of Tianyang overnight, the family has been farming for generations, and the harvest at home has not been good in recent years, hearing that the emperor wants to choose a waiter, he rushed to Tianyang City overnight to participate in the draft, and after entering the palace to become a waiter, he can receive some monthly silver and send it back to his parents at home, but he does not have to worry about food, clothing and housing in the palace, and he can also reduce some burden on the family.
Li Anyue didn't say much, just said that she was Ke'er's distant cousin, and she also came from other places.
"Oh, how can people sleep in this crowded room?" While a few people were chatting, they saw two women walk in with a coquettish voice.
"Oh! Miss, aren't these the two ducks in the morning? Kerr's glasses widened when she saw the two men, and she said that these two people were more annoying than quacking ducks.
"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense. Li Anyue frowned slightly and hurriedly interrupted her.
"Chunyan, go and tell your father-in-law, I don't want to live here!" The girl who walked in front glanced obliquely at the people in the room, and her face was even more reluctant after seeing Li Anyue and Ke'er.
"Miss, Miss, I'm afraid my father-in-law has already gone back." The woman who was called Chunyan looked at her and said in embarrassment.
"Really! Daddy has to ask me to come to this kind of place! You! I'm going to sleep here! ”
"Me?" Li Anyue looked at the fingers that came inexplicably and was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, and you, let's squeeze with Chunyan." She gestured to Kerr next to her.
"Why, this is my bed!" Ke'er quickly reacted, and couldn't help but be angry when she saw her arrogant appearance.
"How dare you yell at our young lady?" Chunyan also shouted when she saw Ke'er like this.
"What's wrong with Miss! I just yelled what's wrong! "Ke'er is a little girl in front of Li Anyue, but once she opens her voice, not half of them can stop her.
"Bold! Our young lady is the daughter of Lord Yuwen! ”
"That ......"
Ke'er looked disdainful, in her opinion, the eldest lady of the family, so she didn't care about the others. But before she could fight back, she was interrupted by a thud. "I heard you arguing from afar! Where should you be? Vegetable market! ”
"See Aunt Lian and Aunt Wan." Several people saw the people coming in at the door and quickly stopped.
"It's noisy in the palace, if it weren't for the fact that you didn't understand the rules when you first entered the palace, you would have been waiting to be kicked out of the palace!" Wan Xiu glared fiercely at the few people in front of him.
"Auntie, I don't want to live here!" Yuwen Jiaojiao didn't care, so she directly sprinkled coquettish to Wan Xiu.
"What's your name?" Lian Qianxi frowned at her, and Wan Xiu whispered to her.
"It turned out to be the daughter of Lord Yuwen." Lian Qianxi smiled slightly.
"Yes, Auntie." Yuwen Jiaojiao saw that the expression on Lian Qianxi's face had changed, and the momentum of the eldest lady was taken out again, with a proud face.
"Why don't you live here?"
"Auntie, the room here is so small, I haven't lived in such a small place since I was a child, and there are some people who don't like it." Yuwen Jiaojiao said and glanced at Li Anyue and Ke'er.
Lian Qianxi followed her gaze and looked at a few of them, "Why is there one more person?" ”
"Auntie, Chunyan is the maidservant girl I brought, and she wants to enter the palace with me."
"Nonsense! What kind of place are you in the palace, allowing you to be so presumptuous! Lian Qianxi, who had been silent, suddenly snorted at this time, and Yuwen Jiaojiao's face turned white, and then turned red because of shame.
"Outside the palace, you are the eldest lady of Yuwen Mansion, and I naturally respect you as a subordinate, but in the palace, no matter what your identity, you are only a mere servant to be selected now, what qualifications do you have to take a servant!"
"But, auntie, didn't she also bring a handmaid?" Yuwen Jiaojiao blushed and pointed at Li Anyue and complained dissatisfiedly.
"Oh? What's your name? Lian Qianxi walked up to Li Anyue and asked.
"Back to my aunt, Li Anyue." Li Anyue raised her head and looked at Lian Qianxi, there was no fear in her eyes, but a little more respect. Listening to what she said just now, at least she is not a person who tends to be inflammatory, and this is also very valuable in the palace.
"Li Anyue, did you bring a maidservant?" Even Qianxi could see that the ordinary-looking woman in front of her had a pair of pitiful eyes, and the feelings in those eyes were so clear.
"That's not the case, Ke'er is actually my distant cousin, she is also a waiter, and she usually jokingly calls me a young lady, maybe Miss Yuwen has some misunderstanding because of this." Li Anyue replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"You're a liar! Before, it was clear that ......" Yuwen Jiaojiao wanted to distinguish when she heard it, but was stopped by Lian Qianxi, "The inner courtyard of the palace, how can you allow you to make noise here!" For the sake of your rules, don't care, don't do it again! ”
"Yes, Auntie." Several people bowed their heads in response.
"Okay, you guys have a good rest tonight, and gather at Xiuyuan Hall tomorrow morning." Wan Xiu glanced at Li Anyue and them coldly, and then followed Lian Qianxi out.
"Miss, that Chunyan is going back first." Chunyan could only leave under the eyes of her aunts.
"Chunyan...... You guys! Yuwen Jiao glared at Li Anyue squeamishly. Li Anyue shrugged her shoulders and stopped paying attention to her.
"Hey, I said I'm going to sleep in your bed!" Yuwen Jiaojiao chased after her relentlessly, wanting to snatch the quilt from Li Anyue's hand.
Li Anyue frowned, flashing her movements, "Miss Yuwen, I believe you should have not forgotten what Aunt Lian said, since you are also a waiter, please quietly return to the bed that belongs to you." ”
"My dad is Yu Wentao! He is the constant king of Tianyang Kingdom! Yuwen Jiaojiao was annoyed and angry and wanted to take it again.
"Please respect yourself! Is King Chang more noble than the emperor? You are just one of the emperor's attendants now, please pay attention to your behavior. Li Anyue looked at her coldly. The so-called people don't offend me, I don't offend others, if it is really bullied, I am not easy to bully.
"You, Li Anyue! You'll regret it! When Yuwen Jiaojiao heard her mention the emperor, she could only grit her teeth and give up, planning to take revenge in the future.
Li Anyue didn't pay attention to her anymore, so she continued to clean up the bed, and the others dared to be angry when they looked at her, so Ke'er came over to help Li Anyue clean up the bed together, and said, "Little, sister, you don't have to worry about her!" This kind of person is spoiled. ”
"Nothing, I don't care." Li Anyue returned to her usual gentle appearance and smiled at her.
"Our young lady is good-tempered and kind!" Seeing this, Ke'er happily attached to her ear and whispered.
"Alright, go pack your things." Li Anyue smiled and opened her.
Early the next morning, there were really palace people with bells to call people, and after a while, they were collectively taken to the so-called Xiuyuan Palace.
Xiuyuan Hall is a broad, simple but also solemn hall, there are three big red pillars on both sides of the hall, carved auspicious clouds, there is a sign hanging in the center of the hall, there are several big characters that are said to have been written by the emperor himself, "virtuous and virtuous", which is a common requirement for women. This is where the waiters are trained, and the selection of the waiters is also carried out in the temple.
Just a palace of the Chosen Servant Palace is so splendid, I don't know what the legendary Jinluan Palace looks like. Li Anyue admired the realistic and delicate carvings, thinking about when he would have the opportunity to go to the main hall to open his eyes.
"As I said yesterday, I will train you to be a qualified servant from today, no matter what your status is outside, but inside this palace you must remember that you are a servant, so in the palace you must call yourself a slave in front of everyone except for ordinary maids. Maybe one day you will become one of the masters of this harem, and we will be the ones who will call ourselves slaves, but now it depends on whether you have the ability to do so. Lian Qianxi condescendingly looked at the people in front of him who were wearing double buns, pink ribbons, and pink and white palace clothes.
"Yes, Auntie."
"Next, Aunt Wan will teach you the basic etiquette in this palace." Lian Qianxi nodded to Wan Xiu beside him and left.
Wan Xiu gave her a salute, turned around and said to the people below without a smile. "Next, divide into groups of ten and line up in a row, and follow my instructions."
"Yes, Auntie."
The grouping was arranged according to the number plate they got at the beginning, so the six people in Li Anyue's room were still arranged together, and the other four were the four girls in the next room, one of whom had been attracting Li Anyue's attention. She has an attractive aura on her body, and she used to think that the sentence "out of the mud and not stained" was just an exaggeration, but now she feels that this sentence is not too much to use on her body, all the women wear the same clothes, but they can quickly recognize her in the crowd, not because of how beautiful she looks, but because of the temperament revealed between gestures. Her face belongs to the dignified and generous type, there is a faint smile on her lips from beginning to end, she looks calm and calm when talking to others, and the whole person feels like a fine silk, smooth and gentle, and she also has a gentle name, Shen Yueyin.
Shen Yueyin also felt Li Anyue's undisguised gaze, her eyes flashed with doubts, and she changed to the same smile as always.
"Li Anyue, what are you doing in a daze, don't drag us down." Yuwen Jiaojiao said dissatisfiedly opposite her, because before, Wan Xiu said that if anyone in a group fails to keep up with the progress, then the whole group will be punished for this, the purpose is to help and supervise each other in the group, so as to improve the speed of learning.
Li Anyue turned her gaze to her and said lightly, "Don't worry, just take care of yourself." Yuwen Jiaojiao heard it and was inconvenienced, so she just snorted heavily and stopped looking at her.
