Wei Li stopped suddenly, and everyone was slightly stunned.

Zhou Jin bent down and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

Wei Li was silent, took a light breath, frowned, and then quickly left.

He left, and the two mothers-in-law in the courtyard stood up and beckoned the eight little girls behind him to get up.

The group all stood one after another, but only one was still lying there, as if paralyzed by fright.

"What's going on?"

One of the mothers-in-law opened her mouth to ask, and Qianjiao, who was walking at the end, saw Ayu lying on the ground, and reached out to pull her.

Ayu already knew that she should get up, but her feet were soft.

I don't know if it was because she had just stood for too long or something else, but after she knelt down, she felt an invisible pressure.

Besides, her ear power is more sensitive than ordinary people, and the cool and low-alcohol voice of Liangwang may not have been heard by others, but she heard it, and the voice that came into her eardrum made her have a chill that she couldn't help shivering, and she couldn't get up at all for a while.

"Are you alright?" Qianjiao saw that her face was pale, and it was rare for her to speak.

Ayu shook her head, "Thank you." ”

"Nothing." Qianjiao answered her casually, and then moved her nose and began to move closer to Ayu, she obviously smelled something.

Seeing this, Ayu was alarmed, and quickly took out the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the thin sweat that had just been scared out on his forehead.

The scented liquid seeped into the cotton handkerchief, and the smell immediately faded.

Qianjiao sniffed again, without the smell just now, and silently followed behind everyone.

Ayu also followed closely, but secretly reminded herself in her heart that she should not only pay attention to the problem of sweating in the future, but also stay away from others.

The Discipline Department is a place dedicated to teaching the people of the palace, and several of the housekeepers and aunts in it were brought out of Beijing, and they look rigid and serious and majestic.

When the little girls first came, they wilted when they saw this formation, and they dared to be disobedient.

Fortunately, these people look serious, but they all follow the rules.

Aunt Ye first asked a housekeeper named Hideyoshi to take them to the courtyard, and each of them was given two sets of light cyan spring shirts, including shoes and socks and ribbons to tie their hair.

The material of this set of clothes is fine cotton, and if it is placed in the countryside, it is rare for ordinary farmers to buy it.

There are two little girls with happy faces, and they want to try them on after taking them, but they are scolded by Xiuzhu, the clothes are sent to you, but you have to wash them before you can wear them.

Sure enough, it's a palace, and the rules are very big.

The group in the back was led to the bathhouse, and the bath beans and hot water were used, and they were washed from beginning to end before they were allowed to come out.

After some tossing, it was almost noon when everyone pulled the little girl's uniform bun.

At noon, there were other housekeepers and maids who led the little girl to bring it over, two steamed buns and a bowl of vegetarian dishes per person, which seemed to be very good, and I heard that they could eat meat once in three days.

This life is rich, at least Ayu thinks so, the white and fat steamed buns are fine grains in their village.

Ayu lined up to receive the meal, and saw that the place in the snack shop was almost full, so she found a window sill to stand and eat.

There are more than eight of them in the little girls in this discipline department, there are always twenty or thirty of them, but except for them, everything else is normal, thin and small, just by looking at it, you know that it is a child sold by a poor family.

Ayu stood by the window for a while, Zhao Yu came over, put the vegetable bowl on the windowsill, held his steamed buns, and smiled at Ayu while picking up vegetables, "You are very eye-catching." ”

There were other things in her smile, Ayu didn't answer, and sure enough, she paused and said, "It's much brighter than the kind of dirt bun before." ”

When Ayu came, she wore the same clothes as she usually did farm work, and her hair was also tied with a blue cloth.

She has always kept her mother's words in mind, low-key and unassuming, but her face and figure are here, and she can't hide it casually, Zhao Yu has already compared, Bai Yu is the best looking in a group of eight people.

Ayu didn't want to pay attention to her, took her bowl to the small corner under the eaves, and squatted there to eat.

Zhao Yu pursed his lips and said "hiss", turned his head and went to find a few other little girls.

After she left, Qianjiao, who had been watching from a short distance, slowly walked to Ayu's side, and the person also squatted down and said, "Don't pay attention to her." ”

Ayu shook her head, "I ignore her." By the way, what's your last name? ”

Someone took the initiative to approach, Ayu wanted to know more, although everyone knew each other's names in Renyayu, but Qianjiao was just her name, after all, she hadn't heard of the surname Qian.

"I, my surname is Lu."

"It's good." Ayu tilted her head and looked at Lu Qianjiao seriously for the first time.

Before, she only thought that this girl's temperament was very elegant, and her face was also good-looking, and her eyes were even more good under a closer look, and the tails of her eyes were slightly upturned.

The two squatted together and ate a meal, which can be regarded as cooked.

After lunch, everyone will have a short break, and then Xiuzhu will lead them to the education center and follow Aunt Ye to learn the rules.

Aunt Ye is the teaching aunt designated by Zhou Jin, and she looks more detailed than the others, but when she speaks, it is not like that.

"I don't need to tell you what kind of place this is, everyone knows it. Many people feel lucky to come here, because of the wealth of the palace, the degree of food and clothing, and the monthly silver after leaving the Discipline Division. I want to tell you that it may be better than you think. Your Royal Highness is merciful, not only will you be fed and clothed, but the big girl will have a rest every month, and she will be fortunate to be released on the twenty-third day, and you will return home if you have a home, and if you don't have a home, you can also help you settle a good family in Liangzhou......"

The conditions of such generous treatment are not comparable to other meritorious people, and when the little girls heard about it, they couldn't hide the joy in their hearts, especially Ayu, although twenty-three is already an old girl, but it is always an opportunity to return to freedom.

Mrs. Su didn't lie to her, although she didn't mention the palace before, the conditions she said were not bad at all.

Under the impact of joy, Ayu felt that it was not so important why the palace made a special trip to find the fat girl, anyway, they were all working and serving people, doing their part in the rules, saving more silver, and waiting for the day they were released from the mansion.

A few little girls were obviously about to move, Aunt Ye glanced at them, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, not angry and arrogant.

"But don't get too happy, if you don't get out of here, everything just now will not only be empty talk, but will be returned, and I don't know where it will change hands.

Moreover, to be a slave and a maid, you must keep the specifications, and only when you do things can you be promoted. Everyone's monthly silver is distributed according to the quality of the extreme, and only the big girl has the qualification to Mu Xiu, in addition to other people, others only have to think about it, even if the mother and son die, it also needs the master's nod to go out of this courtyard. ”

"Also, I need to remind everyone that this is the palace, and the master is His Royal Highness, the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty. Messing up the rules and frowning the master's brows, is it so simple as beating and scolding. There is a special punishment center in the house, in addition to removing ears and tongues, selling pickled and dirty land, the more serious ones are death, shrouding, mass burial......"
