Changchun Palace finally became lively, no longer as deserted as before, and six palace maids and two eunuchs came at once, all of which were rewards from Concubine Xi.

It stands to reason that one can promise to have two people around him, so how can he use eight subordinates? But Aunt Yiyi said that it is also a palace, no matter how many concubines live there, more talents should be arranged, and dignity must not be lost. The cuttlefish is naturally happy, how can there be a reason not to accept this gift sent to the door, and she is short of manpower, so it doesn't hurt to have a few more.

The cuttlefish spent most of the day, quietly observing these new palace maids, trying to pick out two of them to take with him. If you want to survive as a master in the palace, you have to cultivate a trustworthy henchman as a helper, and this so-called confidant must not only have a good character to stand the test, but also have a flexible mind and act steadily.

Among the six maids, two are too young but only thirteen years old, and they are not reassuring, and one is clumsy and can't look at people's eyes, and he is a stupid fool who can't be reused. Among the rest of the people, the cuttlefish took a fancy to the calm and clever Ruyi, and the smart and clever Haruka.

Cuttlefish and Chunxiang had a relationship, in her impression Chunxiang is just an honest little palace maid, who doesn't talk much and understands the rules, but now that she looks, Chunxiang is a little more clever than before, which makes her feel more satisfied.

Inside the Chengxi Hall of the West Side Palace.

The cuttlefish called Haruka and Ruyi into the house one by one and questioned them individually.

Since Su promised to pass away, the cuttlefish moved out of the main hall of Changchun Palace, where she and her master lived together, but now it is a thing or a person, and if she stays any longer, she will inevitably feel sad and sad.

Chunxiang walked in first, her small body was wearing a slightly wide plain flag suit, her ordinary appearance looked very well-behaved, just from her appearance, she couldn't see anything extraordinary. But people can't look good, the sea can't fight, and Haruka can be called a diligent and quick worker, more capable than other people who are older than her.

"What did Su tell if he promised to summon the slave and maid?" Haruka lowered her eyes slightly, and asked in a crisp voice.

The cuttlefish smiled in his eyes, carefully looked at the Chunxiang in front of him, and always felt that she was just a child, and her voice was unconsciously softer, "There are a few little things to ask you, just answer truthfully, don't be too nervous." Haruka, are you fifteen years old this year? How long has it been in the palace? ”

Chunxiang replied fluently, "Back to the master, you are really good eyesight, the slave maid has just turned fifteen, and it has been more than two years since he entered the palace, and he has been doing some rough work in Jingren Palace, and now he has the opportunity to serve you, which is the blessing of the slave maid Sansheng cultivation." ”

Not only is the answer fluent, but the mouth is also very sweet.

The cuttlefish pondered for a moment, and then asked, "I don't know if you have ever served the masters to freshen up, if you can, you will do the grooming errand that I am close to me in the future." ”

Chunxiang was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times to show her loyalty, and just handed over this job to her, indicating that she had won the appreciation and trust of her master, and intended to reuse it.

Chunxiang's eyes flashed brightly, and she thanked excitedly, "Yes, the slave maid did this errand, and in the future, the slave and maid will serve you wholeheartedly, never be lazy and lazy, and live up to your grace." ”

The cuttlefish nodded complacently, and told Haruka to go out and get busy, and call Ruyi in by the way.

Ruyi and Chunxiang are different, if Chunxiang is a little girl who doesn't understand the world, then Ruyi can be regarded as a mature and sensible girl, looking at the situation of about ten ** years old, it should be three or four years after entering the palace.

Just from Ruyi's gait, you can see her steady and dignified, slender posture, delicate face, Fan Dai is just right, and her posture is very good.

The cuttlefish sighed in his heart, no matter how beautiful the beauty is, it is a pity that she still has to spend her good youth in the lonely deep palace.

The cuttlefish's gaze swept over Ruyi's body and landed on her face, and her tone was indifferent, "What did you do in Jingren Palace before?" ”

Faced with the cuttlefish's sudden and unprovoked question, Ruyi was not very surprised, she replied word by word, "The slave maid is just a rough maid, and she is in charge of miscellaneous labor in Jingren Palace. ”

The articulation is clear, the attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and she is not as timid or attentive as other palace maids, which makes the cuttlefish admire her a little.

It's just that with such a degree of advance and retreat, how can the Ruyi of the square only deserve to do some rough work? The cuttlefish wanted to ask clearly.

She pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Miscellaneous servants?" You've been in the palace for so long, have you done anything else besides miscellaneous servants? Now that you have just come to my Changchun Palace, if you are asked to pick an errand by yourself, what do you want to do? ”

There was a depressed look in Ruyi's eyes, she thought for a moment, and then replied softly, "The slave maid was originally a servant of the pen and ink by Concubine Xi's side, and she was considered a close palace maid, but the slave maid was stupid, and it didn't take long for her to be punished for doing something wrong." How can the slave and maid have the right to pick the work, or should it be distributed by you, and the slave and maid must do it with all their hearts. ”

The corners of the cuttlefish's mouth pulled out an arc, and said approvingly, "If you can serve the pen and ink at Concubine Xi's mother, then you must have read and read and read, if you are really stupid, you must not be able to enter the eyes of the mother at first, and you don't have to be too modest." ”

Answering the words with a degree of advance and retreat, and a peer who has read books, such a maid is needed around the cuttlefish, and she plans to get Ruyi and Chunxiang to her side, and intends to promote. But of course, you can't see the character on the surface, and the cuttlefish feels that it is better to pay attention for a while before making the final decision.

Don't trust anyone in a special period.

"Otherwise, you can be by my side and take care of some daily chores for me." The cuttlefish commanded, "The other people in the Changchun Palace, you also help me take care of it, I usually don't want to move, and the big and small things in this palace will be handed over to you and Chunxiang for the time being." ”

Ruyi never thought that she would be so reused, she couldn't help but feel surprised and happy, she looked at the cuttlefish in surprise, and after a while, she hurriedly responded happily, "The master looks down on the slave and the maid so much, the slave and the maid are really grateful, and they will not let you down." Chunxiang is a smart and capable girl, who was quite liked by Concubine Xi in Jingren Palace before, although the slave maid is not as good as her, but she will do her best, and she has no dissent. ”

The speaker had no intention of listening, Ruyi just casually praised Chunxiang, but it made the cuttlefish mutter, since Chunxiang was the right-hand man of Concubine Xi, why was she sent to her. Although Concubine Xi looks graceful and generous, she may not be so generous as to give away the handy maid lightly.

It seems that you will have to pay more attention in the future.
