Chapter 8: Where to Stay

"Come in with me"

Hua Mian followed the woman into the courtyard, the courtyard is a circular building, a three-story building in the center, a two-story building around the perimeter, composed of a small room connected to each other, a spacious yard in the middle of the courtyard, planted with all kinds of flowers and plants.

Entering the courtyard, the woman walked straight into the small building in the center, and Hua Mian walked a few steps quickly and followed in.

After entering the side room on the first floor, the woman sat down at the table next to her.

"Let me introduce myself first, I am the head maid of Sikong Mansion, in charge of the housekeeper in the backyard, and everyone calls me Aunt Juan"

"You don't have to be so restrained, although our Sikong Mansion has many rules, it is excellent for the people below, but you must understand the rules that should be observed"

"The one who brought you here is the steward of the nursing home in front, and when I see him in the future, I can call him a steward."

"Okay, tell me about yourself, what your name is, where you come from, and who else is in the family"

Do you want to tell her that you crawled out of the ditch? Hua Mian thought about it, after all, he was not the protagonist in the story, and there was a cover of crossing the identity, and making up an identity to live in this world was the highest priority in front of him.

"Home is in the countryside outside Shaoyang Town..."Thinking of the place where I met Sikong Xiao, I vaguely remember hearing him mention such a place name.

"My surname is Xia, and my name is Huamian... My family calls me Huamian, there was a disaster in my hometown a few years ago, and now I am the only one who is here..."I didn't make it up, I heard Xiao Er talk about the disaster in the inn, and I really only have myself in this world."

"Well, well, I know some words, but my appearance is below average, I don't look clever enough, and I'm a little old, so I'm not suitable to be a personal maid for young ladies."

Aunt Juan looked Hua Mian up and down, "It's still white, let's stay in the yard to do things first" After speaking, she walked to the door and greeted "Xiaocui, come here"

"Aunt Juan"

With a crisp voice, a little girl walked in, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing an emerald Luo skirt covered with a moon-white coat, with a pair of double buns on her head, wrapped around the back of her head with the same emerald cloth belt as the skirt, her facial features were very delicate, and the corners of her eyes were crooked with a smile.

"This is the girl who sleeps, from today onwards she will start working in the yard, you take her to the vacant room next door to you to settle down, it's not too early, first take her to familiarize herself with the environment and rules in the yard, and then send her something to do when Ming'er arranges work."

"Got it, Aunt Juan"

The girl named Xiaocui jumped in front of Hua Mian in two steps, took Hua Mian's hand, "Let's go, I'll take you to the room"

"My name is Yincui, everyone here calls me Xiaocui, and I am also called Huamian, okay?" The little girl seemed very happy after receiving the acquiescence.

was dragged all the way by Xiaocui to a room, Xiaocui pointed to the next door, "Oh, I'm in the next room, you can ask me anything about the house."

As he spoke, he pushed open the door, Hua Mian walked into the room and looked at it, about a dozen square meters, the size of a standard bedroom, with a bed and a wooden cabinet inside, a table and a chair near the window, and other pots, candlesticks, and copper mirrors are all available.

Xiao Cui opened the cabinet, took out a set of bedding and laid it out, and beckoned Hua Mian to put the bag in her hand into the cabinet.

"Your clothes don't fit well, it's still too late, let's go get the clothes first, and come back just in time for dinner"

Without waiting for Hua Mian to speak, he pulled Hua Mian up and ran out.

Out of the courtyard where the maids lived, Xiaocui took Hua Mian around the mansion and glanced around, which also upgraded Hua Mian's understanding of the Sikong family from "local tyrant" to "super local tyrant".
