The queue for applicants is long and long.
There will be so many people rushing to the position of a maidservant, which Meng Luo did not expect.
Fortunately, she came early, so it was her turn after waiting in line for a while.
Because she was applying for a handmaid, she changed back to women's clothes in advance, or the coarse linen skirt given by the boss, and the proprietress was originally kind and let her not be eye-catching in the crowd, so as to avoid the pursuit of officers and soldiers.
But at the moment, she seems to be a little too blind, so that a fat old woman who led her in, when she looked at her, her eyes were full of disdain throughout the whole process, Meng Luo was very frustrated by this, but when she thought of her family members who were still suffering, she felt that it was nothing.
After all the formalities for the servant girl were completed, Meng Luo received the silver on the spot, and then he was taken to another place with the other servants.
Compared to where the caravan lived, this place was much more rudimentary, and it should have been specially used to house the people.
After changing into the clothes of the maidservant, everyone stood in a row in the house, and Meng Luo also stood over.
After a while, I saw the fat old woman just now walk in step by step, with her chin raised high, with a posture of a superior, walking slowly in front of everyone, looking every girl up and down.
When she walked in front of Meng Luo, Meng Luo was not like others, either with her head down or looking ahead, but staring at her mother-in-law, in fact, Meng Luo didn't think so much at that time, but when someone looked at her, she looked at others as she wanted, that's all.
But her abrupt behavior obviously made the mother-in-law look at her twice, but only twice, and then continued to walk towards the next one.
After a look, the mother-in-law began to speak.
"Stretch out your hands."
Everyone raised their hands, and the mother-in-law looked at everyone's hands separately.
When passing by Meng Luo, the mother-in-law stopped.
"Are you literate?"
Meng Luo looked at her, nodded inexplicably, "Yes." ”
Hearing this, the mother-in-law's eyes were a little more appreciative, no longer as pure disdain as before, she said to Meng Luo, "Then you come with me, the others stay in the house first, and someone will come over to assign work soon." ”
Such a sentence made Meng Luo suddenly become a place of attention, and the other maidservants watched her being taken away by her mother-in-law.
After Meng Luo followed her mother-in-law out, she had been following behind her mother-in-law, and she couldn't figure out what was going on in the house just now, so she cleared her throat and boldly asked her mother-in-law, "Excuse me, how do you know that I am literate?" ”
The mother-in-law didn't look back or speak, Meng Luo thought she didn't hear, so she raised her voice and asked again, "Excuse me, how do you know that I know how to read?" ”
The mother-in-law was still indifferent and continued to lead the way.
Just when Meng Luo didn't give up and was about to raise her voice again, when she asked the third question, the mother-in-law finally replied clearly when she spit out the first word, "Don't be so loud, my wife is not deaf yet." ”
Seeing this, Meng Luo immediately smiled, "Hehe, you can hear it." Then excuse me, are you ......"
"How do you know you're literate?" The mother-in-law didn't wait for her to finish, and directly grabbed the conversation, but still didn't look back, "This is simple!" She said proudly, "I have looked at everyone's hands, but your hands are thin and smooth, and there are no calluses at all, which proves that you were born well before, and it is very likely that you can read and break words, so in the end I asked you if you are literate in order to confirm it." ”
While listening to his mother-in-law's explanation, Meng Luo looked down at his hands, and was about to admire his mother-in-law's amazing judgment, so he heard his mother-in-law suddenly say, "It's here, you can go in." ”
Meng Luo stood outside the door of a side room with his mother-in-law, the door was open, and there was a faint fragrance wafting out inside, Meng Luo rarely used rouge gouache on weekdays, but he also smelled that the fragrance in the house was not the fragrance of fat powder.
She looked outside the door, but she didn't see anyone, and her heart was a little hairy, so she smiled at her mother-in-law and asked, "Excuse me, what am I doing inside?" ”
I didn't know that this sentence seemed to be asked something that shouldn't be asked, and the mother-in-law pushed her in fiercely, and said very politely, "If you want to enter, you will enter!" ”
Then, the mother-in-law dragged Meng Luo to the table inside, and pointed to the silk books on the top, "From today onwards, the transcription of these silk books will be handed over to you." ”
Then she pointed to two other places, "Here is the paper for transcription, there are the four treasures of the study, what else is missing can be asked for me, don't run around in normal times, what is done every day must be handed over to me for a look, don't think about being lazy or slippery, once I find out, suffer from flesh and skin, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance!" ”
Meng Luo listened to her mother-in-law's explanation, swallowing and swallowing her saliva, and it was not until after her mother-in-law left that she gave her a breath.
But how dare she slack off for a long time, she took the four treasures of the study, studied the ink, and after the paperweight flattened the paper, she began to transcribe.
Write casually, and write it to the twilight, if it weren't for her stomach voice reminder, maybe she would have forgotten the time.
Stretching my waist and just about to go out to find food, unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, the food had already been placed on the ground at the door, and the silent bowl was still hot.
That fierce lady is really thoughtful, I will open the door at this time.
Meng Luo's impression of her mother-in-law was that she admired and feared her, and she couldn't tell what kind of person she was.
However, the food sent by the people was still good, and it was the best meal since Meng Luo came out.
For the sake of the meal, after eating, she continued to immerse herself in the transcription.
This was written in the evening.
I don't know what time it was, but my mother-in-law came to check the results.
Meng Luo respectfully transcribed the books he had written, neatly folded them, handed them in, and then waited for his mother-in-law's reply.
I saw that the mother-in-law hastily flipped through it a few times, then nodded with a smile and praised, "Not bad~Not bad~"
After receiving the affirmation, Meng Luo let go of the big stone in his heart.
In fact, when it comes to writing, she is still quite confident, in the past, she didn't like anything else, that is, she likes to copy the calligraphy, she is best at hairpin flowers, Meng Qin used to say, her words are smart and clear, the most suitable for this kind of writing, and her own temperament is very consistent, so since then, Meng Luo has been writing in this font.
The next day.
Meng Luo was still copying in the room, and the mother-in-law came a little early today, and the face that had always been rigid actually had a smile, which scared Meng Luo so much that he almost slipped his hand and ruined the page.
The mother-in-law said, "What you transcribed yesterday, the master was very satisfied with after reading it, so today I specially asked you what you want to eat for lunch?" ”
Looking at the mother-in-law who was like the two of them yesterday, Meng Luo only lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, and then told her with great certainty, "Roast duck!" ”
I watched my mother-in-law leave with a face full of embarrassment, and I thought there was little hope.
In fact, she just said casually, but she didn't expect that at noon, there was really roast duck!
After enjoying the whole roast duck beautifully, Meng Luo really couldn't sit down, so she put the book she had written in advance yesterday on the table, and then she planned to go out for a walk, and then ask when their caravan would leave the city.
When she came out of the room, she stretched her waist greatly, "The feeling of seeing the sun again is just right~"
When her eyes adjusted to the light outside, she saw a man standing in the courtyard in front of her.
