After Honglian had poured all the swill, it was almost the end of the day, and she was dirty and smelly, and the kitchen door was locked, so she couldn't go in to boil water, so she had to fetch a bucket of well water and carry it to a hidden place to scrub her body.

The temperature difference between day and night in Shu is very large, if it is hot during the day, it is cold at night, and you have to close the window cover.

Finally wiped her body clean with the cold, Honglian ran back to the room trembling, but the door was locked inside, she knocked for a long time, and the girls in the same room didn't get up to open the door for her.

Afraid that her voice would be heard by others, Honglian had no choice but to run under the flower shelf with her cold body.

Squatting in the corner, sour tears gushed out, she missed her mother somewhere, she came here to be a slave, and her mother didn't know it, right? Is she being bullied like herself now?

The burden of life is like a mountain, which weighs her breathlessly, thinking of the indifference of the palace to her these days, the more Honglian thinks about it, the more sad she becomes, and she can't cry.

"Master Jiang, do you want me to go over and have a look?" The two people standing on the tree looked at the crying red lotus not far away, and one of them asked.

"Don't worry about her, if you want to survive in the deep mansion compound, it is impossible to survive with the help of others."

The man glanced at the cold Jiang Jue, did not speak, and after a while, the two disappeared into the dark night.

Honglian cried for a long time before she stood up, she remembered that the door of the firewood room was not locked, and she had to squat there for the night tonight, which was much better than freezing to death outside.

The next morning, she came to the firewood house to see if the red lotus was okay, and found that she had already gotten up and was squatting in the garden to sort out the fallen petals.

The sudden appearance of Su Yi startled her.

"Plain girl!" Honglian pulled off the dew-soaked skirt and smiled awkwardly.

"You haven't slept all night?"

"Sleep, sleep, wake up early in the morning, can't sleep thinking that the sun is not out, tidy up the garden early."

"That's good, don't be too tired, the work can't be done in a day."

"Yes, thank you for your concern."

After Su Yi left, Honglian patted the soil on her hands, and just as she was about to stand up, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and the whole person didn't know anything.

Mu Qingao, who came back from a set of punches in the morning, happened to see the scene of Honglian fainting.

He frowned, remembering what Qingyun had said.

This little girl fainted when she came over, and she was really right, this was deliberately to let herself notice her, and Mu Qingao has always been disgusted with this kind of trick.

"Jiang Jue, go and see what she is doing in the garden so early."

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

Jiang Jue carried the red lotus back to the place where the next person lived, and the little girl who was in the same room with her looked at the pale red lotus in Jiang Jie's arms in panic.

"Take care of her, and if something happens, you go and explain it to the princess yourself."

"Yes!" The little girl replied tremblingly.

In the study, Jiang Jue reported to Prince Jing what happened last night.

"Bullied?"

"It seems that I and Eichi saw her locked out with our own eyes, and Suyi said that she slept in the firewood room all night."

"This incident made Su Yi tell Guo's mother that intrigue between people is not allowed in the palace, and the whole house is smoky."

"Yes!"

Mu Qingao shouldn't have been asked about the affairs of the inner house, but he didn't dare to tell Qingyun, for fear of causing her misunderstanding and making the relationship between the two tense.

When Guo's mother heard about it, she came to Honglian's residence.

Suffering from the wind and cold, Honglian did not have any strength at this time.

She struggled to get up and wanted to salute, but was stopped by Guo's mother.

"You girl too, you are bullied and don't dare to say it, you can ask me to judge you, why bother not to say it in your heart? Now that the prince knows about it, isn't it strange that Mrs. is incompetent in governing the back house? ”

Honglian's face turned pale with fright, and she jumped out of bed in panic and said, "Mother Guo, Honglian definitely didn't deliberately let the prince know, the reason why she didn't dare to trouble Mother Guo, I thought about enduring the calm for a while, and I couldn't get tired of doing more work, and it was definitely not as Mother Guo said." ”

Guo's mother looked at each other and said unhappily, "Anyway, don't do this stupid thing in the future, the princess is a person who knows right from wrong, she hates servants killing each other the most, and the little girl who bullied you has been kicked out of the house, you can recuperate with peace of mind!" These days to give you a holiday, Mrs. pity you for being helpless, give you two more dollars of silver a month, and then go to thank you when you are well. ”

"Thank you, Mother Guo, when Honglian recovers, I will definitely kowtow to the princess in person to thank you."

Soon someone boiled the medicine and sent it to her, Honglian didn't dare to make a gesture to take Qiao, everything was cautious and not noticeable.

"Am I being too suspicious?"

After hearing about Honglian's actions, Song Qingyun couldn't help but complain about himself.

"No wonder Madame thinks too much, why was she seen fainting by the prince so coincidentally? She used to be a young lady from a big family, even if she is now a lowly and bullied by a vulgar girl, how can she have no means of revenge? ”

This time, Song Qingyun did not echo Guo's mother's words, and she began to doubt her sixth sense.

"Tell the kitchen to cook her some nutritious meals and don't treat her harshly."

After this incident, Song Qingyun realized that managing a back house was not an easy job.

Compared with other people's homes, the palace has fewer in-laws and complex interpersonal relationships who have to be asked for peace every day.

If she can't even manage the servants well, then she, the princess, will fail too much.

Let Guo's mother call all the servants together, from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, and re-acquaint themselves according to their positions.

Seeing the black space below, I was easily startled, this is just the house in Pingzhen, I don't know how many people are in the real palace.

"How can there be so many servants?" Song Qingyun asked with a frown.

There are only three masters in the entire Jingwang Mansion, but there are 100 people to support at the bottom, and if this is a company, it is estimated that it will go bankrupt and go bankrupt early.

"Madam, that's how the palace is configured."

"Please bring the housekeeper the roster of all the servants, we are not here in the Grand View Garden, is this configuration too high?"

She likes silver, though

She is never stingy with those who follow her.

The silver earned by the prince and her was not blown by the wind, but was also used on the blade, such as building roads and strengthening the defenses of the periphery of the ancient city, and repairing the city walls.

If there are idlers in the house, they can accept it in one month and two months, one year, two years and three years, and no one wants to be this kind of Yuan Datou.

The housekeeper came over with a thick stack of account books, and every time he called a person, Qingyun asked the housekeeper to explain what position this person held in the house, what kind of work he did, no matter how big or small, he only asked more than 20 people in the morning, and there were still more than 80 people who did not ask clearly.

At lunchtime, Song Qingyun used an extra bowl of rice than usual.

Mu Qingao couldn't help but persuade, "It's better to leave the matter to Mother Guo, let her go through it first, and then you can review it again?" ”

"No, Guo's mother is also old, and it is more appropriate for me to do this kind of laborious work."
