As soon as the grandmother left, the palace maids and girls heard the bell, and went out of the house and the courtyard in twos and threes, and when they came to the gate, they saw that a long iron rod with four edges was hung on a tree with a thick bowl, and a young man who looked like a guard was knocking with an iron rod thick with a thumb, and the sound was very good. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Now follow me to the dining room. Today, Prince Rui and Prince Xuan are going to meet with everyone and have lunch together. The two princes are very kind people. I am a guard from the Rui Wang's Mansion, my name is Gelong, my surname is Shu Mulu, and I am also from the palace. Needless to say, men and women, stand in four rows and follow me, and don't make a loud noise. ”

Under the leadership of the guards of King Rui's Mansion, a team of 1,500 people came to the door of a courtyard house at the backest, and Gelong made a gesture, and everyone stopped. Gelong said: "The men go to the east house to eat, the sisters go to the west house, sit down and wait for a while, Lord Rui and Prince Xuan want to say a few words to everyone." Separate them now. So the two groups parted and went into the dining room, which was very large, and in the east room there were sixty tables, each of which could seat ten people. The Westinghouse was even bigger, with more than 90 dining tables. Each table can accommodate up to ten people. It's all benches.

As soon as he saw the dining room, two doors opened in his heart: the inside was clean, and the guard of Gelong said loudly between the two dining rooms: "Wait a minute, everyone, the two princes will be here soon." ”

Sure enough, as soon as the words of the Gelong guards fell, the eunuch with a sharp voice shouted: "The prince has arrived, and the prince Xuan has arrived!" Everyone quickly knelt down and asked for peace in unison: "The prince is auspicious!" ”

Accompanied by the four personal guards, Wang Ye and Xuan'er entered the restaurant, and when they saw it, they knelt on the ground and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone, hurry up." This king and Xuan Wang Ye are here to see everyone, and there must be a lot of inconvenience when they are newcomers. I have wronged everyone, from the Forbidden City to the Ruiwang Mansion, you may have a little idea. However, as time goes on, you will get used to it. It can be said that you are all friends of Prince Xuan, and you can get your help when he just opened the mansion, so I hope you can work together with Lord Xuan to do things well in the future. What do you say? ”

"Okay. You may think that the king's house is not fun, with barren grass and dead trees, and one poor and two white. However, it is this blank piece of paper that makes it easy to draw beautiful pictures. Everyone, do a good job, I won't treat you badly. ”

"Wow!" The crowd applauded their new master. It was the first time I saw such a young prince, and it was the first time I heard such simple words, and I felt hot in my heart. It is not easy to follow his father to fill the emperor's treasury with silver at such a young age.

Regarding Xuan Wangye, everyone knows that he fought for the emperor's face in front of the envoys of many countries, and raised the national prestige of the Qing Dynasty, and was called "the prodigy prince" by the emperor and the minister. It's a sight to behold. Not to mention how good-looking it is, the big eyes that are a little hanging are still double eyelids, the eyes are black and shiny, and the skin is white and pure, white and red. He has neat little white teeth, and is a little taller than an eight-year-old boy.

"Sit down, everybody, Gron, you tell us to eat." The prince commanded Gelong.

Gelong is a cadre under Tian Liang, and was sent here by Tian Liang to be trained.

Gronn made a quiet gesture, and hundreds of people fell silent at once.

Gelong said: "Starting from the first lunch in our Xuanwang Mansion, the implementation of the meal distribution system, that is, one person has a plate, there is rice and vegetables on the plate, eat your own, and you can take the rest back with a bowl of soup, and eat it at night when you are hungry, so that it will not be wasted, and how many pairs of chopsticks can be saved to eat a dish." The next meal is to stand at the window to receive the meal. After eating, put the plate on the table, and take the leftovers in a bowl, and you don't need to return the bowl when it belongs to you. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand to the kitchen, and a dozen or so cooks with bear aprons on their chests each pushed a four-wheel cart with more than a dozen layers of latticework, and each layer of lattice had four plates. The plates are rectangular, latticed, iron, shiny, and clean.

Gelong brought a plate to the prince and one to the prince Xuan. Each of the cooks was given one, and the big compartment was filled with a grid full of white rice, and the small grid was four dishes, and there was a bowl of egg soup.

"Let's eat." After the prince said a word, he began to take the lead in eating. The food on his plate was the same except for the lack of meat.

The dishes are stewed pork with vermicelli, stir-fried chili with dried tofu, shredded cucumber with cold salad, and eggplant in sauce. There are also soy sauce, vinegar, very fine flour salt, chili oil, pepper and other seasonings and a few small pickles on the table. The mood of the crowd suddenly brightened up: the food here was very good and very affordable. When the palace maids saw the two princes, they began to imagine which master they would serve, and I heard that the master of the house, plus Xuan Wangye, Xuan Wangye's maternal grandparents, a total of nine people, how could they use so many people to serve? There are already so many people serving in the past, who wants to be served by someone they don't know? Let it be up to fate. After lunch, the plates are placed on the table, and the rest of the meal is brought back in a soup bowl. It is said that the Forbidden City is the residence of the Son of Heaven, and the food should be the best. But the food in King Rui's Mansion is no worse than that in the palace.

Regarding the "marriage" arranged by the Queen Mother, Hua Zhi is very unconfident. Mr. Tian and himself do not seem to be fellow travelers. I heard that the guard said that Manager Tian is now a Zhengyipin, his own home, and those people in the family really can't do it. But she doesn't automatically retreat either. It depends on what Mr. Tian means.

The perfect face of a bedroom with Huazhi? Harudy, the conditions at home are much better. Her father was promoted to a fourth-rank official, and there was a big Zhuangzi and two shops, so Huazhi was a little ashamed of himself. But if she is allowed to return to that home without a little warmth, it will never be, so she is very anxious to make it clear to her stepmother that she will never marry the relative arranged by her stepmother. She has to return the bride price she receives from others

Tian Liang had seen Huazhi in the palace of the Queen Mother, but he had never talked to Huazhi. It's not that he has a big official shelf, it's that he doesn't have that mind, and now he has a headache for the marriage that the Queen Mother has put on his head! As soon as Tian Liang thought that he was going to maneuver between four women, he had four big heads.

Hanazhi is three years younger than Caizhu and has never met. Maybe I've seen it but don't have any intersection, but I have a sense of déjà vu. Hua Zhi entered the palace to serve in Cining Palace, from the rough envoy to the current second-class, the reason why she did not have an accident and was not beaten may be lucky, and she has been protected by Aunt Su several times. Once she broke the vase, Su Moer said that she had beaten it, and she passed unharmed. Later, when I grew up and my mind became more and more mature, I knew how to avoid evil.

The girl with colored beads was not lucky enough to have a flower branch, and when she entered the palace, she was assigned to a little lord with a noble position. This little lord was an only daughter when she was at home, and she was spoiled by her parents, and she lost her temper and threw things at every turn. Soon after the election left the brand, he was favored by the emperor, and then he was about to fly so publicly, but the result was that the emperor drank too much and went to the wrong door, and he never remembered to pamper the new little promise afterwards. The position has risen a little, and she has reached the steps of a nobleman, but the emperor has long forgotten about her in the back of his mind. She sprinkled all the fire in her heart on the palace maids who served her, and tortured the colored beads in another way. Punish kneeling on a rainy day, expose to the sun when the sun is strong, and put a copper basin filled with half a basin of water on your head, sprinkle a little and whip it with rattan. The days of dire water were already difficult, and suddenly the little master was poisoned, and the palace maids became unlucky ghosts, and they were sent to the Xinzhi library as washers, and this time it was three years! Caizhu doesn't have a stepmother, but she has a father who was implicated in corrupt officials and dismissed officials, and a gambling brother and a **** shameless sister-in-law. Her heart was slowly dying, because when she was still two years away from the palace, her sister-in-law sold her to one of her sister-in-law's cousins, a scoundrel who smoked sheep's horn. Just so boldly took food from other people's fruit stands, and was caught by others and lay on the ground to smoke. This kind of person can be disgusted to death when he is a husband! But the sister-in-law said that the money from selling herself was for Amma's treatment, of course she didn't believe it! Thankfully, the Empress Dowager gave him to the head of the Rui Wangfu and the newly won the title of Duke of Tian. Caizhu is a little afraid to think about whether it can be realized, but he can stay in the Xuanwang Mansion to work and make money to support himself.

The most confident is to be perfect? Harudai is up. Her net worth is much higher than that of Huazhi and Caizhu, and she is full of confidence every day waiting for Grandpa Guo to marry her.

Among the three people, the color beads are the most beautiful, followed by Harudai, the flower branch is a little flat, a typical baked cake face, except for a pair of apricot eyes, the eyebrows are a little thick, and the mouth is a little big, how can you squeeze into the ranks of beauties, but it looks very kind and not annoying. Thinking of this, Miss Wanyan's face was warm and her heart jumped. How happy should such a handsome first-class man be to do that with himself?

"Hey! Harudai, are you a nymphomaniac? "Ussuri, a palace maid in a dormitory? Yaliqi is a fellow of Wanyan, and he doesn't see anyone outside, so he starts to joke about Wanyan.

"Nasty! You're a nymphomaniac! ”

"You still don't admit it? You don't even know that my hands are waving in front of your eyes, and my eyes are straight and I am thinking about your chief steward, right? ”

Huazhi hurriedly stopped Yaliqi: "You dead girl, you talk for a day, how did Mama Jin tell you to come before leaving the palace?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'll shut up!"

Tian Liang has an office here in Xuanwangfu, even if it is an agent of the affairs of the mansion, he must also have a place to do things. Tian Liang often discusses things with Nalan here, and there are too many things to do!

On the first day of sleeping in the new place, the four palace maids on the kang were a little sleepless. It's all about what the road will look like in the future. This is a major event related to their fate, although they have been "married" by the queen mother to the head of the palace and the deputy head of the palace, but they don't know their future lover at all, the family situation, temperament, and whether the lady of the main room is good or not, I am confused. Although I really wanted to ask an old man from Nanfu (Ruiwang Mansion), I didn't dare. Ask a person by name, who is not a fool. Will the grandmother over there not tell the person? But if you don't ask, you panic.

The palace maids in the courtyard in front of Huazhi and Wanyan are discussing what errands will be assigned in the future, so many people came at once, and the two Fujin can't use them at all, and there are old people who have served for many years around them, who can trust the newcomers? Among them, there are also well-informed gossip sisters who are even confused, plus hearsay and their own analysis: "I heard that the garden in the house over there is very large, and there are seventy or eighty women in the garden who sweep the leaves, all of whom are from the palace. It's not that the master of the house doesn't believe these people, so he sent them to the garden to sweep the leaves, will we treat them like this? ”

"It doesn't matter if it's sweeping leaves or picking up dead branches, as long as you don't get beaten and eat well."

"I heard that Prince Rui and Fu Jin often give marriage to the maids in the house, and those with high status are pointed out to the guards, and the almost ones are the pro-soldiers, and there are also small servants."

"No matter who it is pointed to, it will not be pointed out to the eunuch as a counterfood, it doesn't matter who he is, as long as he has a good character."

I really think about it, but it's really like this, is it okay not to accept fate? Despite this, the palace maid still has to inquire about various news through various channels. The instructive mama who helped them get acquainted with the situation became a sweet and sweet spot, answering all kinds of questions every day. The hostesses know that these palace maids have a lot of confusion, so they tell them what they can tell and what they can't disclose in advance, so that they can also play a role in stabilizing the hearts of the people.

Because the palace has a good environment, the masters are kind-hearted, and they themselves have played an exemplary role. Even if there is no dare to kill people with open fire, there is a provision in the government regulations that after such a person is discovered, if someone is killed, he will be immediately sent to the criminal department, and no one will be expelled from the palace. Therefore, the men in the house, except for the eunuchs, are qualified to be husbands of the palace maids, and it depends on the fate of each person. In fact, marrying a little girl is not a bad thing, at least he can only have one woman, and if he is diligent and studious, he may be promoted.

In the few days when they newly entered the Xuan Palace, the palace maids and girls had almost no errands, and they were all running around looking for someone to inquire about the news. Leading Mama Cao said: "Girls, it's better to kill your heart to do some needlework, in the future you may participate in the clothing processing and ordering of the house, the better the needlework may be more popular, jumping up and down is useless." ”

That's a big message. The palace maid also heard in the palace that the Rui prince of the Rui Wangfu had traveled with the Buddhist master for a year, and the head of the house and the prince's side Fujin also went to the cloud. The three of them learned a lot of skills, bought a lot of goods, and began to do business after returning, and handed over to the emperor a profit of 50,000 taels of silver in a few months.

So the palace maids and girls stopped, and began to sit together in the bedroom to do needlework, and they didn't know what to do, such as handkerchiefs, purses, and foreheads, starting from small embroideries, they were all honest and less impetuous.

Then he led Mama to bring the living materials from Ruiwang's Mansion, all of which were ready-made, cloth, embroidery, flowers, and samples, all of which were not available in the Qing Dynasty. After screaming, I started to work, and there was much less of a phenomenon of going around the door. Because the newly assigned roommates may not know each other, go to find the little sisters you know and are familiar with. After half a month of running-in, I know those I don't know, and there are even very speculative ones, and if I have something to do in my hands, there will be no thorns under my buttocks. That's an afterword. (To be continued.) )
