Chapter 375 The treasury is full of spices
"Dongmei said this, the emperor should still have this palace in his heart, but it is just because of the current situation in the court, so he is so close to this palace, isn't it?"
Jing Chuchu sat outside the door, holding a feather duster in his hand and hearing the conversation in the house clearly, only then did he know that Concubine Xian was about to fall ill with lovesickness.
But even if he knew that he was not feeling good in his heart, it was impossible for him to let the emperor out of sympathy for others.
"What are you doing here?" Jing Chuchu was listening to it with relish, and was suddenly startled by someone shouting.
"Oh, I'm wearing a lot of them, and I really think I haven't cleaned them in a long time, so I want to wipe them clean." Saying this, she wiped here and patted there with the feather duster in her hand.
"Okay, don't be busy here, Concubine Xian is not happy and in a bad mood now, you have been found here, and I think you are eavesdropping, maybe I want to be angry with you, then you go to the warehouse with me to sort out things."
The little maid didn't even have doubts, Jing Chuchu was a little suspicious.
"Sister, I have just been transferred to Lanyue Palace, and there are still many rules that I am not familiar with, I hope my sister will mention more."
"It's not worth mentioning it, you just need to remember what to do, don't mess with the virtuous concubine, although our mother is not favored by the emperor, but on weekdays, I always think about when the emperor will be able to see her, like the concubine Niangniang, she suddenly gained favor, so you have to be careful when you talk in the future, don't say something that you don't have."
The little maid is also very bold, why she will answer anything.
"Doesn't my sister think I'm embarrassed?" It is precisely because the little palace maid treats her like an acquaintance that she is a little jealous, and she talks to her in a dignified manner, without any defense, which makes people even more suspicious.
"What's this? Concubine Niangniang has a bad temper, sometimes she doesn't like people, so she sends it away, after all, Niangniang is a concubine, and it is indispensable for someone to take care of it when she goes to the mountains and countryside in Lanyue Palace, so there are often newcomers coming in here, and it is no wonder for a long time. ”
When the little palace maid saw that she looked very modest, she immediately felt a lot more pleasing to the eye.
"Seeing that you are so well-behaved, then I will tell you a few more words, our mother is good at making incense, few people outside know about this matter, when you take things in the future, don't touch her things, otherwise it will ......"
She made a gesture of wiping her neck with her hand, and Jing Chuchu had already understood everything.
"Sister, don't worry, I came to the palace to beg for a living, who will have nothing to do for myself? Then I'll follow behind my sister, with you, I will make fewer mistakes, so as not to mess around, if I offend Concubine Xian Niangniang one day, then I just can't eat and walk around. ”
"Okay! It's also fun to see you doing things with you, and here's the warehouse of our Lanyue Palace. ”
"Sister, what's your name?" Jing Chuchu finally knew that it was not strange to have many people, she was sweet and close to others, and she didn't see anyone embarrassed herself.
"My name is Xia Hua, and I have been here for two years, and I have seen many sisters coming in and out, and I am half an old man."
Xia Hua took the lead and walked in, moving the things on the floor of the warehouse.
"Sister Xia Hua, are these all rewards from the emperor?" Jing Chuchu casually opened a box, which was full of incomprehensible things, but the taste was very pungent.
When Xia Hua turned around, she saw her open the box, and hurriedly walked over to cover it: "I told you not to touch things, have you forgotten?" You must not open these boxes, if you are seen by the mother, you will have to be fined, we are all here to beg for a living, why bother to find trouble for yourself? Keep your life and see the outside world when you leave the palace in the future. ”
Jing Chuchu didn't expect to be reprimanded, but he pretended to be very scared: "I'...... I opened it casually, I haven't seen anything good since I was a child, and I thought that the things in the mother's treasury must be rare treasures, so I couldn't hold back just now......"
"Then you have to endure Niangniang's things next time, but you must not touch them casually, otherwise you will really lose your life, I am not scaring you, some time ago, a little palace maid accidentally knocked over a box of spices in Niangniang's house, and I haven't seen anyone since."
Jing Chuchu hurriedly nodded in response: "I know, I know, I will definitely not come here again in the future." ”
Although I just glanced at it just now, I also knew that it was a box full of raw materials, probably used by Concubine Xian to make sachets or other things, right?
But when will all these spices be used up?
Jing Chuchu helped move things all morning, and his tired back hurt.
"Sister Xiahua, I can't do it, I can't stand up with this back pain, I want to rest, or you can sit down and rest your legs!" So many things are left for the two of us to do, and we can't do it all at once for a while, and we have to be exhausted. ”
She pounded her back with her hand, thinking that she hadn't worked for too long, and it was really unbearable to suddenly do so many things.
"Come on, I guess you've only been in the palace for a short time, so I'll rest for a while when you're tired, but you can't rest for too long, we still have to go out to clean the yard, we can't delay things here, if we can't finish our work, at night, there is still no good life."
Xia Hua took her like a big sister, busy and busy.
Although Jing Chuchu has been moving things for a long time, he has also noticed a lot, and the Xian Concubine's treasury really looks like a treasure pavilion, and I don't see many gold, silver, and jewelry, but there are a lot of things that make spices.
She didn't use it that much by herself, and she didn't see her send it out, so what was so much spice used for?
At lunchtime, they found a place where no one was around, and the two of them sat down to eat.
"Eat it! It's going to be cold for a while, we can rest for a while after eating and then go to work, there is not much work in the palace of Concubine Xian, it's all trivial things, so let's finish the work, and we can rest early in the afternoon. ”
Xia Hua instructed her while eating.
Jing Chuchu was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, big fish and prawns, and watched the palace maid eat simple vegetarian dishes, not even an egg.
"Sister, I'm afraid that the food in the palace can only be eaten by rich families outside, right?"
Xia Hua couldn't help coughing when she heard her say such things.
"Ahem......"
"You are still curious about having a meal, it can be seen that you have also lived a lot of hard times outside, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, whether you enter the palace by yourself or your parents send you in, since you have come, you have to talk less and do more, and you have to remember that especially outside, if someone asks you about things, you don't know anything, and the battle between the masters will always affect us innocent people for no reason."
Xia Hua felt that if she hadn't mentioned her herself, she might be sent out again soon.
"By the way, Sister Xia Hua, when you go out in the future, have you ever thought about what to do? Have you found a good family to marry? ”
Xia Hua suddenly smiled: "Heh, even if we are old enough to leave the palace, we are all half-old, who would want it?" ”
