Chapter 135: Blending into the Cold Courtyard
"Hurry up and get in the car, don't delay the hour." The father-in-law urged, and then the coachman got in the car and drove the carriage to Nangong Gate.
I walked inside for a long time, and then stopped.
"Get out of the car, get out of the car." Then I heard the urging voice of the father-in-law. And Mu Jing got out of the car with those people.
"Why is there one more?" The father-in-law counted the number of people and frowned strangely. Could it be that he just made a mistake, forget it, it's nothing to have one more anyway.
At this time, the door creaked open, and Mu Jing looked over, it was Mama Lu. Mama Lu counted the number of people.
"Father-in-law Li, why is there one more?"
"I didn't think it was less just now, so I found one more, and that one was given to you." As soon as Gonggong Li saw Mama Lu appear, he immediately said respectfully.
"Come in with me." Mama Lu pointed at them and said.
Then the coachman looked at Mu Jing closely, and when Mu Jing passed by him, he stuffed a pill for her where others couldn't see, and then walked into the cold courtyard.
"This is where you live, and I will call you up tomorrow morning to work." Mama Lu led them to a room with more than a dozen bunks. There are only eight of them here, which is enough.
Seeing that Mama Lu left, Mu Jing frowned, it was dark now, and Mama Lu didn't recognize who she was, but she would definitely recognize her during the day. Looks like she wants to paint her makeup.
Mu Jing found a bed alone in the corner, and when he was asleep in the middle of the night, Mu Jing walked out of the door.
I took out a mirror from my sleeve, took out a paintbrush, and first filled my face with pockmarks, and then from the bottom of my right face to my neck, I made a big birthmark.
Then Mu Jing put away the things, heard something by the door, Mu Jing was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look over, and found that the person came out and looked left and right, and then slowly approached her position.
Mu Jing immediately pretended to be confused and stood up, and then walked slowly towards the house, ignoring the person who suddenly stopped in front of her.
"Girl, girl." The man opened his mouth and called Mu Jing.
Mu Jing's face changed, why was this voice so thick, but she pretended not to hear and walked into the house, and he followed behind her, Mu Jing ignored it and walked in, climbed directly on her bed, and put on a dreaming look.
"Delicious, delicious." The bar chirped a few times, then rolled over and continued to fall asleep.
"It turned out to be a dream."
Then he heard that the voice was even thicker, how could there be such a woman's voice?
Mu Jing turned around and hugged the quilt again, and looked over with slightly raised eyes under the cover, only to find that this person had walked out.
Then I was so sleepy that I fell asleep.
Early the next morning, I heard Mama Lu's shouting.
"It's all up, it's up."
Mu Jing opened his eyes with difficulty.
They came here early yesterday morning, and they got up before dawn?
Seeing that they all got up one by one, Mu Jing also knew that he couldn't rely on it anymore at this time, so he also got up.
Eight people stood side by side in front of Mama Lu.
"From today onwards, you will be the handymen of the cold courtyard, and your main work is to wash clothes, chop wood, cook, and carry water."
Then he began to roll call, Mu Jing was stunned for a moment, roll call? Her name doesn't seem to be on the list.
Mu Jing suddenly rolled her eyes, and after the roll call, Mama Lu nodded her name and found that there was a name missing.
"Who was the one who didn't name just now?" Mama Lu shouted at them.
Mu Jing immediately raised her hand, there were originally seven people, but now she has one more, it is estimated that she didn't have time to add her name at that time.
"What's your name?"
Mama Lu looked at Mu Jing and was suddenly startled, and the person standing next to her was taken aback. At that time, the hair covered the face and I couldn't see the face clearly, but now I can see it clearly, the whole face is even pockmarked, and there is a big birthmark on the face and neck, and I am cautious when I look at it.
"I ...... My name is Xiaozhu. Mu Jing's dress said in a trembling voice.
Because of Mu Jing's appearance, Mama Lu couldn't help but take a few more looks, and then assigned work.
Mu Jing and a person named Pu'er were assigned to work in the kitchen, the others were assigned to two to the water room, and the rest followed Mama Lu to other courtyards.
Then Mu Jing followed their chef to the direction of the kitchen and walked to the backyard kitchen.
"You go chop wood."
As soon as she arrived at the yard, the kitchen aunt asked her to chop wood, Mu Jing frowned, looking at this Mama Zhu. The tall cow next to him didn't scream, why did he ask her to go?
"Look at what, recruit you in, don't hurry up and go to work." Aunt Zhu looked at Mu Jingdi's eyes and said impatiently.
Then Aunt Zhu walked into the kitchen with a maid named Pu'er.
Mu Jing looked at the pile of firewood on the ground and was speechless.
Why is it that in such a big kitchen, only the three of them can be seen?
It's just chopping wood, but it's hard for her. Mu Jing picked up the axe and began to chop.
After a while, I found that people came one after another, but they were all elderly people.
An old woman chopping firewood walked up to Mu Jing.
"You're not in the right position." The old lady looked at Mu Jing and said.
Then he took Mu Jing's axe and chopped two of them very accurately.
"Do you know how?" Then he said to Mu Jing. Mu Jing nodded.
"Take your time and don't rush, I think I didn't do well when I first came in." The old lady looked at Mu Jing and smiled.
"Mama, you've been here for a long time." Mu Jing asked while chopping wood, thinking about her.
"I've been here for as long as this cold courtyard has been open." Mama then stood beside Mu Jing and followed her to chop wood and replied.
Mu Jing was stunned for a moment, then she must know the whereabouts of the crazy mama, but it was not good for her to ask directly, she got acquainted with it first.
"What's your name?" Mama asked Mu Jing.
"Xiaozhu. What do you call Mama? Mu Jing replied.
"They all call me Mama Chai, you can call me that." Mama Chai said to Mu Jing, and Mu Jing nodded.
Then Mu Jing didn't speak, and followed Mama Chai to chop wood seriously, and not long after, she saw Mama Lu at the door, and she said to Mama Chai.
"Did you see the crazy mama, the crazy mama ran away again."
"Why did you run away for her again, I didn't see her come here, will she go to the West Courtyard again?" Mama Chai said with her mouth, and continued to work in her hands, as if she was not nervous at all about this crazy mama. It is in great contrast with Mama Lu's anxiety.
Hearing what Mama Chai said, Mama Lu immediately hurried her subordinates to the west courtyard.
"Who's Mad Mama?" Mu Jing frowned and asked Mama Chai curiously.
"Mad Mama, she's a slave to sin, and she's been relegated here." Mama Chai replied, and then continued to chop firewood.
Mu Jing looked at Mama Chai for a while before replying to her, as if she didn't want to talk about her, so Mu Jing was silent. Sooner or later, she'll find out.
