It was closed here for eight days, and this morning the door was finally wide open. Zhang Yapo asked the seven little girls to stand in the courtyard, briefly taught them some rules and distances, as well as the taboos of large families, and drove everyone into an old carriage.

This is ready to go to the place, everyone is crowded in the car and is inevitably anxious, only Ayu is sitting in the back of the car, leaning there with a wilted expression, and all she thinks about is the situation at home.

It's been so long, and I don't know if Daddy woke up.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at a small side door.

Zhang Yapo led everyone in, reminding all the way, "Hang your head and keep your mouth shut, whoever doesn't listen will lose their heads." ”

As soon as he heard this, he lost his head, and the few people who were about to move quickly tightened their necks.

Zhang Yapo led people to the courtyard dam not far from the Moon Gate, and when she saw the mother-in-law pointing to the place, she smiled brightly, "There is Sister Lao." ”

The mother-in-law didn't reply, wearing gray clothes and green pants, she could see that she was just guarding the small door, but her expression was very arrogant.

Zhang Yapo didn't care, bent down slightly, and after she left, she lined up the people she brought over, and soon left.

There were originally people standing in this small courtyard, Ayu glanced at it quickly, there were almost twenty or so, plus them, there must be thirty, all of them were little girls, basically fat.

Everyone just stood and waited for a while, and it didn't take long for two more people to come, so that forty or fifty people were almost there, and most of the small courtyard dam was standing.

Those people who lined up their own people would leave, except for the two rough women standing under the porch, and the whole courtyard was so quiet that it was terrifying.

The youngest of these little girls was in their early teens, and the oldest was fifteen or sixteen. Everyone didn't have anything at first, they stayed honestly, and they couldn't stand it after standing for a long time, and when they saw that the two mothers-in-law under the porch were like wooden stakes, some of them couldn't help but look around and whisper.

Ayu stood in the back position, and some voices came to her, saying that this was not a big family, nor was it an ordinary official's house, but the Liangwang Mansion.

No wonder the doorkeeper just now had her nostrils facing the sky, and everyone said that the prime minister was a seven-grade official in front of the door, not to mention this palace.

Ayu listened silently, still maintaining the standing posture just now without saying a word, and Zhao Miao, who was beside her, heard those secretly happy and excited voices, and let out a cold snort in her nose.

The group of people had been standing for about a quarter of an hour, and there was a slight sound of footsteps under the porch, and it felt like there was more than one person.

The courtyard was quiet, and everyone immediately lowered their heads and stood solemnly, for fear of colliding with the nobles.

The leader of the comer was a white-faced and beardless eunuch, with white hair, thin eyes and thin lips, looking at a mean look, not very tall, and slightly blessed.

"Father-in-law Zhou, everyone is here."

The two mothers-in-law under the corridor finally moved, and the closest reported the situation to Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin swept his eyes at the courtyard dam, and his sharp voice sounded, "If there are any irregularities, let's eliminate them first." ”

The two mothers-in-law bowed their heads and said yes, strode into the crowd, and took out the people who were talking and looking around just now, and directly let the people who didn't know where to get out of the tooth take them away.

A group of little girls directly lost one-third, and the atmosphere left behind did not dare to come out, and they were glad that they had just endured it, thinking of the wealth in the palace, in fact, everyone wanted to stay.

Zhou Jin walked over, and the head of the person left behind was pressed even lower, for fear of being accidentally pointed out again.

"Look up."

There was a little eunuch following Zhou Jin and giving orders, and everyone had to raise their heads again, but they didn't dare to look at anything at all, and lowered their eyes silently.

Zhou Jin's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and after a circle, the original number of people was reduced by half, so that there were only about twenty left.

Among these people, you still need to pick again, Zhou Jin walked again, looked carefully, and chose slowly.

In the end, there were only ten out of forty or fifty.

Ayu was stunned throughout the whole process, she was an obedient and honest girl, since she didn't move, she kept standing obediently, until she was finally called to the corridor by her mother-in-law, she didn't know that she was picked, and among the seven people who came over, there were Zhao Yu and a person named Qianjiao.

Zhao Yu didn't mention it, when she was in the house before, she talked the most and was the most arrogant, and Ayu named Qianjiao didn't know much, because she was usually more boring than herself, and she was like an invisible person when no one mentioned it.

Zhou Jin hadn't left yet, sitting on the pear wood chair brought by the little eunuch, drinking tea and sighing.

There were two young eunuchs standing behind him, and when they saw this, one of them flattered and said, "This group of people is not bad, and they look brighter than the previous color." ”

Zhou Jin ignored it, let people take the teacup, waved the dust and walked over.

The remaining ten little girls were already standing in a row, and when everyone saw that the father-in-law surnamed Zhou was coming again, their breathing couldn't help but tighten.

This time, Zhou Jin paused in front of each little girl for a while, and his gaze was more detailed than at the beginning, sweeping the ten people from head to toe, back and forth several times, without missing anything.

As soon as they slipped down, two more little girls were taken away, they were obviously lost, but they didn't dare to say more.

"Take the rest to the Discipline Division, and let Aunt Ye train it well."

Zhou Jin spoke, and the eight little girls stayed like this.

Ayu breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly opened the hands hanging by her side, because of nervousness, her palms were wet just now, and she needed to let her palms breathe, so that the little bit of strange fragrance produced quickly dispersed.

In fact, Ayu is not easy to sweat, unless it is really too hot or nervous and afraid, otherwise she rarely sweats even if she stands under the scorching sun.

To say that in the past in the village, she rarely went out, and with the deliberate concealment of the Liu family, only the Bai family knew about this.

The eight little girls were about to leave with the two mothers-in-law, when a little eunuch came running in the cloister.

"Father-in-law Zhou, His Royal Highness is looking for you, and he is already coming over."

The visitor gasped, apparently panicked.

When Zhou Jin heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly gestured to the two mothers-in-law to ask them to take someone away. But it was too late, and the group had just turned to the bottom of the steps, and the king of the cloister came with four guards.

Now that the master has appeared, the subordinate has a reason to continue to leave, the two mothers-in-law took the lead, and the eight accompanying people followed and crawled on the ground.

"Your Highness, how did you get to such a place?"

Zhou Jin greeted him, smiling, deliberately blocking his vision from a distance of two steps, not wanting him to see the group of people kneeling on the ground.

King Liang's footsteps did not stop, and it took a while before he lightly spit out a word, "Out." ”

"Yes, the minions deserve to die."

Zhou Jin followed, it turned out that His Royal Highness was going out, looking for himself to come here, so he simply left directly from this gate.

The group descended the stone steps, and the prepared carriages and horses were already parked outside.

Seeing that Wei Li, the good king, had already stepped out of the threshold with half a foot, he stopped inexplicably.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
