Chapter 017: Rabbit Garden
Before coming here, Ayu also guessed what errand she would get, the little eunuch who led the people before only said to go to the rabbit garden, at that time she just thought that the rabbit garden was the name of a certain courtyard, but she didn't expect that the courtyard was as its name, and they were arranged to raise rabbits.
I don't know why there is a yard of rabbits in the palace, Ayu, she saluted the eunuch in charge, listened to the lecture and rules for a while, and then was taken by a housekeeper named Pearl to settle down first.
The northeast corner of the rabbit garden has a courtyard dedicated to the maids, a small courtyard, the place is not big, there are few people inside, there were only three people, in addition to the pearl there is also a person named Feiyun, and a rough woman who grows vegetables and does chores.
Ayu and the others came over when they went, and several people simply saluted each other, and Ayu found that Pearl and Feiyun were the same as them, both of them were slightly chubby, with round cheeks, apricot eyes, and although they were fat, they were all beauties.
Previously, Ayu had some suspicions that their line was a fat girl who came from the house, and then went to the back yard to think that she thought about it too much, and then came here, the doubt in her heart rose again, and she couldn't figure it out, but she just told herself in her heart to be down-to-earth, not to mess with the rules, and not to make mistakes.
There were three or four rooms in the courtyard that could accommodate people, and Pearl pointed to one at random for them to clean up.
The place here is spacious, so everyone doesn't need to huddle together, the four maids sleep in two rooms each, and the mother-in-law surnamed Niu has a separate room.
The conditions here are better than those in the back yard, although it is easy not to go out, and if there is something, you can only find pearls and report to the father-in-law in charge, but the things before the incident have not been sold, and Ayu is already very satisfied.
The room was not dirty, it should have been occupied by someone before, so Ayu casually cleaned the table and wardrobe, put things away and planned to go outside to find something to do.
"Ayu, why are you in such a hurry, you haven't changed your clothes yet!"
Lu Qianjiao stopped her with a smile on her face.
What clothes?
Ayu looked down at herself, and thought that her clothes were dirty, but she heard someone knocking on the door, and a mother-in-law came in with two little maids carrying clothes trays, saying that they were new clothes for the two of them.
Ayu only then realized that when they came here, their grade had changed, and they had been promoted from the lowest rough little maid to the second class, and the monthly money had also risen to one tael per month, not only did they have new clothes, but the food and welfare were also better than before.
However, Mu Xiu, who Ayu yearns for, still doesn't, those are the privileges that only first-class maids have, but it's a good thing to increase the monthly money, and when you save for two months, you will find a way to take it home.
Ayu took the clothes and thanked them, and sent them outside the door.
That woman is not like those cold eyebrows and horizontal eyes in the back yard, her face is smiling, and she looks very detailed.
Ayu has seen Zhou's father-in-law's smiling face, these smiles will not be taken seriously, and he will not dare to wait for half a minute.
Covering the door, Ayu saw that Lu Qianjiao was already looking through the newly sent clothes, and the usually calm person rarely showed joy at this time, holding the clothes with a happy face.
Ayu also took a general look, it was indeed much better than the little girl's clothes, and more importantly, there were a few simple jewelry, pink juanhua and sky blue ribbons, and a pair of small pearl earrings.
The little girl loves beauty, Ayu touched her earlobe, which has always had a tea stalk inserted on it, although she pierced her ears at a very young age, and she has never had the opportunity to wear anything.
After the two packed up and changed their clothes, Pearl called for dinner outside.
The meals in the rabbit garden are delivered to the door by special people, and then brought in by people.
There's a weird rule here, outsiders can't easily get in, and it's hard for others to get out.
Ayu answered in the house and went out, and Lu Qianjiao followed behind.
When the two appeared side by side at the entrance of the room, Pearl was stunned.
"In the hall, go get it yourself."
Pearl's tone was a little stiff, and Ayu smiled and said, "There is Sister Lao." ”
Her attitude was respectful, and Pearl pursed her mouth, "I won't mention you newcomers today, starting from tomorrow, these jobs will have to be done separately." How big is the face? I'm not in the mood to serve you. ”
Pearl snorted coldly and left.
Her disgusted expression was too obvious, and Ayu was puzzled, and she couldn't figure out how she was hated when she first came.
Lu Qianjiao didn't care, and whispered back, "A housekeeper, see how long you can be proud." ”
Coming here, Ayu obviously felt that Lu Qianjiao's temperament had changed, and it felt like someone who had been hiding it all along.
Sensing that Ayu was looking at her, Lu Qianjiao tilted her head sideways and squinted at her and said, "What are you looking at me?" ”
Ayu shook her head and silently lowered her eyes to the hall.
There were tables and chairs and stools in the hall, and when Ayu arrived, Pearl and Feiyun were there, each holding a meal and whispering something, and when they saw them coming in, they stopped inexplicably, and what they just talked about was self-evident.
Without doing anything, he felt targeted, and Ayu saw the two of them leave and glanced at the food, and he didn't plan to leave, so he sat down directly at the table.
Since she is already a second-class maid, the meal is definitely better than when she was a little maid, with two steamed buns and a plate of vegetarian dishes, as well as a small plate of meat food.
Lu Qianjiao took her share, saw Ayu frowning slightly, smiled and said, "Do you know why they don't want to see us?" ”
She looked like she knew it in her heart, Ayu silently swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth and said, "You think too much." She didn't know what Lu Qianjiao knew, but she wanted to fulfill her usual style, talk less and do more, and be low-key.
Lu Qianjiao was bored, and when she saw Mrs. Niu coming in, she took her bowl and went back to the house directly.
Mrs. Niu is a handyman here, and she looks like she is fifty or sixty years old. She has gray hair, is dressed in gray, has a hunched back, and looks hard to move, but her spirit is good.
"Little girl, where are you here, do you want to accompany my old wife to dinner? Unlike you, I have to bury the filth of those rabbits in the mud every day, and I don't know if it smells on my body. ”
After Mrs. Niu said this, she thought that Ayu would leave, but she saw the little girl smile sweetly and said, "Mama is too worried, I only smell the sweet smell of grass on your body." ”
This little girl smiled very cutely, her eyes were clear and shining.
Niu Pozi smiled and didn't say anything more, picked the braised pork with a bamboo chopstick, and was sandwiching it into the steamed bun, when she saw the little girl pushing her plate of meat over.
"If you like it, eat my plate."
Mrs. Niu was a little puzzled, "Such a good meat girl still has no appetite?" ”
Ayu said "um", "I don't like meat food since I was a child, and I basically fill my stomach with vegetarian food. ”
There are also those who don't like to eat meat, and the cow woman is even more curious, and looks at the little girl seriously and says, "You are the same as the rabbit outside." "Only eat grass.
Hearing this, Ayu was embarrassed for a while, and quickly buried her head in the bowl.
Niu Pozi saw her hanging her head, and her cheeks were drummed and extinguished, and now she looked more like a little rabbit.
