Chapter 21: The Handmaiden
The queen and others walked to the door, and a few monks came out of it, and the abbot headed by him respectfully saluted the queen, as if they were old acquaintances, and they were welcomed in after a few words of greeting each other.
The temple grounds are very quiet, surrounded by trees and flowers, and the clear water flows slowly from top to bottom, giving people a sense of relief.
Mo Changhuan showed curiosity on his face, tilted his head and looked around carefully, and the palace people who followed behind him covered their mouths and snickered when they saw her appearance, but they were stopped by Mama Su's sudden sharp eyes.
Mama Su did not follow the queen to the Buddha hall to worship the Buddha, but took Ah Jiu and Mo Changhuan to a remote residence alone, and she was followed by six slaves and maids, several of whom put on a bitter look, thinking that they were unlucky to take care of Mo Changhuan.
Mo Changhuan and the others walked through the cobblestone path, turned left and right, and arrived at a place called Qingxinyuan, this place looks a little desolate but is in the middle of nowhere, and there will definitely be no one to disturb them on weekdays, and Mo Changhuan's dislike of being troublesome is not happy to do so.
Ah Jiu helped Mo Changhuan into the courtyard, and Mama Su spoke: "During this time, the county lord lives here, and when it is time to eat, the slaves and maids will send the meal over, and the queen mother said, if there is no summons, it is better not to go out, but also for the sake of the county lord's safety." ”
Mama Su glanced at the six maids who came with her, and said slowly: "Niangniang said, the county lord must have the appearance of the county lord, and there must be no shortage of people around him, these people are selected by the mother, and the county lord will pick out and serve whichever he likes." ”
After listening to Mama Su's words, Mo Changhuan's eyes flashed a hint of understanding, she knew that the queen would not let go of the slightest opportunity to monitor, she glanced at a few maids at random, tilted her head and jumped to their sides, two of them especially made her pay attention.
A maid has a graceful posture, her face is also the most outstanding, her skin is delicate, she really doesn't look like an ordinary maidservant, and when Mo Changhuan pulled her arm, her face did not show the slightest disgust.
And the other one is just the opposite, thin and small, with a mediocre appearance, very inconspicuous in the crowd, Mo Changhuan came to her side, she seemed to be a little nervous, her hands tightly grasped the hem of her shirt, glanced at Mo Changhuan timidly, and then hurriedly lowered her head.
These two people were not as disgusted as others, which aroused Mo Changhuan's interest, she took the hands of the two people and smirked at them stupidly.
Mama Su pointed out the two of them to Mo Changhuan because of this: "Since the county lord belongs to the two of you, you can serve the county lord well, and the county lord will be your master in the future, if you dare to do something disrespectful to the county lord, the queen will not spare you." ”
Then he glanced at Mo Changhuan again, bowed slightly, and said, "If the county lord has nothing to do, the old slave will retire." ”
Mama Su left with the rest of the maids, and those people left Qingxin Garden as if they were reborn, and they all let go of the big stones in their hearts.
Ah Jiu looked at the person sent by the queen, she was dissatisfied, she helped Mo Changhuan into the house, looked at the two people selected in front of her, and said in an unkind tone: "What's your name?" ”
The maid with a better appearance had a more humble attitude, bowed her head and bowed to Mo Changhuan: "Slave maid Jinqi to meet the county lord." ”
Seeing this, the other stumbled two steps, knelt down in front of Mo Changhuan with a plop, grinning in pain, but quickly replied: "The slave maid is leaving to meet the county lord." ”
