Chapter 009: Errand
The next day, Aunt Ye, who already knew about the incident, did not beat the reprimand, but her eyes were more fierce than before.
A few little girls were extremely scared, and in the following days, they became more and more cautious in their words and deeds, even if Tang Man hated Ayu in his heart, he didn't target her, but occasionally gouged out a few unfriendly eye knives.
Ayu should only be invisible, work hard to learn the rules, and only do what she should do on weekdays.
After nearly two months of hard training, the seven little girls finally qualified and officially stepped out of the Discipline Division.
On that day, Ayu and the others packed up their little baggage and were sent to the gate of the courtyard by Aunt Ye and Xiuzhu.
The group bowed their knees to them, and the housekeeper who came to receive them was taken to the back yard to settle down.
In the back yard lived the lowest-class little maids, from the clothes shop, embroidery workshops and other miscellaneous rooms.
Ayu and the others came here to repair for a long time, and then they were arranged to repair and clean the garden and assigned to a place called Sanfeng Temple.
The back cover courtyard is not close to the Sanfeng Courtyard, and the group of seven people was led over by the little eunuch after lunch.
How many lanes and corridors she walked along the way, how many courtyard gates she crossed, Ayu couldn't remember clearly, and she couldn't peek at the whole picture of a little maid who had just come out of the training department, only knew that the Liangwang Mansion was majestic and vast, and the courtyard was deep.
According to Xiao Tailin, Sanfeng Courtyard is just a library in the west corner of the palace. Why is it called the three peaks, because there are three small slopes in it, and the book pavilion is built on the slope, divided into large, medium and small three places, staggered, far into the peak. There are also a lot of ancient pines and flowers planted in the courtyard, and it is early summer at this time, and there are many green trees and birds singing and fragrant flowers.
Ayu came here in a trance, feeling like returning to the mountains and forests of her previous life.
The group of little girls were dazzled, and a few of them stood there without moving with bamboo brooms in their hands.
Luo Man was the most fascinated, she was originally a maid from a big family, but she had never seen such a majestic and elegant courtyard, which was very different from the rich mansion she served before.
The little eunuch who walked to the front saw that someone didn't follow, frowned and coughed lightly, and said in a raised voice, "I just came out of the Discipline Division, and I forgot all the rules I learned?" ”
Luo Man came back to his senses a few times and quickly apologized.
The little eunuch remembered their first offense, but only mentioned a few sentences, and then asked them to remember the rules.
The place to clean and take care of the flower garden is only outside the second corridor, and you can't step inside, and someone else will clean it up.
The work was arranged above, and the group didn't say anything, but the little eunuch also mentioned that if they were lucky enough to meet His Highness in Sanfeng Courtyard, the little maids needed to avoid going to the trail to salute, and they couldn't occupy the main road.
Hearing that he might meet King Liang here, except for Ayu and Lu Qianjiao, the others in the group were obviously excited.
To say that the last time they were selected in Xiaoyuanba, although King Liang also appeared, no one dared to raise their heads at that time, and they didn't even look at the corners of their clothes.
If you want to see the dignity of the king of Liangzhou, you can only hope that in the future, even this requirement is a bit harsh, after all, there are few roads in Sanfeng Courtyard, most of them are green trees and flowers, and most of the parts they need to clean are also the main roads.
"Father-in-law Xiaofu, if the palace comes and we happen to clean the main road, what should we do?"
Tang Man couldn't help but ask in a whisper, at this time her heart was beating like a drum, thinking of the most noble man in Liangzhou, that feeling was beyond words.
Seeing a lot of girls who want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, Xiaofu Gonggong squinted and smiled, "If you can't avoid it, kneel down to the grass and the forest, in short, the maids, eunuchs, and little servants in the palace know that our Royal Highness is not allowed to get close to us except for Zhou Gonggong within three steps, and rough people like us are not allowed to get close, without exception." ”
Luo Man was obviously bored, her face was not very good-looking, and she was a little bored when she stood there after sending away Xiaofu's father-in-law.
At this time, Ayu had already begun to move, sweeping the fallen leaves on the road and picking out the leaves in the flowers with a long bamboo clip. There are so many trees in this place that you can't pick them up from sunrise to sunset.
Of the seven, she took the lead, and the others moved in succession.
Zhao Yu glanced up after sweeping twice, and saw that Tang Man was still pestle like a goose, and said, "Hey, everyone here is a maid, what are you doing there?" Think of yourself as a lady! ”
Zhao Xuan's choking problem has already offended everyone, and everyone in the Discipline Department used to say that they liked to hear some news from her mouth, but now when they come to the back yard, they are full of girls and mothers-in-law, and there is no need to make a special trip to take out any news from her mouth.
Tang Man no longer let her like before, and sneered, "I'm not a young lady, someone is, but now I am like everyone else, and I came here to be a subordinate." ”
She was talking about Zhao Hua, when she was in the Discipline Department before, Zhao Hua once said that she had leaked her mouth, she was originally a young lady from a wealthy family in the town, but because she was a concubine, she was sold to the housemother due to a sudden change in the family.
"Do you have the courage to do it again?"
Zhao Yu pointed at her, so angry that he blushed and his neck was thick.
"There are already those things, are you still afraid of others saying?"
Tang Man continued to ridicule, this time Zhao Hao was angry, she dragged the broom and was about to step forward, but her arm was grabbed by Ayu.
"Someone's coming this way." Ayu reminded in a low voice, and then continued to work with his head down.
Someone?
Zhao Yu glanced left and right, but he didn't see a single ghost.
But she was still silent, and dragged the broom to the front sweep.
Tang Man became more and more proud when he saw her leaving, and he made a gesture with a broom, but the person smiled and said, "In the past, others served you, but now it's the other way around, are you used to it?" ”
Her laughter came into the forest, crisp and tactful, but she pulled the hem of Shen Zhaodi's clothes halfway through.
"What?"
Tang Man hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he turned his head and asked, but saw that everyone was half-squatting and began to salute.
The person who came was Zhou Jin, and Lao Yuan waved the dust and asked with a smile, "Yo, the first day is on duty, I can see that I am very happy!" ”
This person is the head of the palace's internal affairs, Tang Man has long known that he dared to reply, and his legs were weak with fright.
This time it was Zhao Hua's turn to be happy, and he stood by the stone steps after the salute.
She secretly glanced at Ayu two steps away, she really didn't know how she saw people, obviously it was still so far away.
Zhou Jin approached, looked at a few little maids, and then put his eyes on Tang Man, "I don't know how to silence a place like Shuge, how did Aunt Ye teach you, is she old and confused." ”
I made a mistake, and I dared to blame it on my aunt, Tang Man was frightened into a cold sweat, and immediately prostrate on the ground, and muttered, "Slave, slave and maid, damn it, I am too happy and forget the rules, please punish my father-in-law." ”
"You're quick to confess." Zhou Jin sighed, as if he was a little disappointed, "Since you can't keep your mouth shut, I'll punish you for fasting for a day, be hungry, and make your mind clearer." ”
Zhou Jin quickly took the two little eunuchs and left, and went to the library inside.
After he left, Ah Yu and a few people moved, and when he saw Tang Man paralyzed there, he didn't dare to say anything, don't laugh.
