Huanhuaxuan's life was better than expected.

The clothes and jewelry you wear are all issued by the public, and if you have money, you can buy or make it separately. The fat powder head oil is distributed every month, and Chunying didn't catch up this month, so she only used the hair oil she brought from home, but the fat powder was useless at all. She looked at other people's clothes coldly, and found that she thought that her sister Qiuyu and Manru were already dressed very gorgeously when they came home, but compared to the others in Huanhuaxuan, they were nothing at all.

Among the two first-class girls, Mei Xiang's style is relatively simple, but the clothes are all good things appreciated by the owner's family. Lan Xiang is more fond of dressing up, with a tired silk gold flower ornament on her head, and two rose-red gems on the earrings swaying one after another, which is the size of a peanut kernel.

The second-class girl also wears gold and silver, grease and powder, because she is worried that she will be too gorgeous and obstruct the eyes of the old lady and the ladies, or be targeted by the sisters above, they are all working hard in unnoticeable places, such as hiding a chic gilt hairpin in the hair, looming, or embroidering fresh patterns on the sleeves, neckline and corners of the sweat towel, and the color matching of the dress is also trying to move closer to the direction of elegance, as for the effect, it is another matter.

Chunying is in the ranks of little girls, because she came late, and the things she got were all "leftovers" by others, but they were already very good in her eyes. According to Shi'er, in addition to the two sets of clothes made by the third-class girls every quarter, there are also the "sisters" who wear out and don't want them, and each person can get two or three pieces a year. Shi'er had a good news last year, and she got a pair of gold bracelets in two or two, and she was very happy, but there were other little girls who joked that the bracelet was "heavy and cheesy", and the pattern was the year before last.

The new Rouge was arranged by Lanxiang as a second-class girl, but the old lady made it clear that the four beauties all enjoyed the treatment of first-class girls. She was originally a girl from a good family from outside, although her family was not very rich, she was also considered to have a head and face in the place, and the clothes and jewelry she brought were not as good as those worn out of the palace, which were not as good as those used by Chunying and these little girls, so she was laughed at by Qing'er and them in secret. The wind reached her ears, and she herself was unbearably angry, and she had to quarrel with other girls a few times a day, but the third young master always helped her speak, so angry that Qing'er jumped to her feet, and when she turned around, she looked for the little girls to vent her anger.

However, Chunying looked at it coldly, the little girls were afraid that they didn't put Qing'er in their eyes, and naturally bowed their heads respectfully in front of them to be taught, and turned around, they should play and make trouble, and they discussed with great interest what dishes will be made in the kitchen today, and what new kinds of snacks and so on. Chunying carefully looked back at Qing'er, whose face was blue, and secretly smiled.

Speaking of food, the treatment of the girls is also very good. The big girls can order food, and the second-class ones take turns, or eat the rest of the third young master, which is all delicious food. The little girls have a fixed ration of two meats, one vegetable and one soup for two meals a day, and the meat or chicken and duck meat come in turns, and the fish is rarely eaten, because it tastes too fishy and will leave a peculiar smell on people. In addition to that, there is a snack every other day.

I don't know if it's because I'm used to eating meat, when Chunying sighed for the rare all-you-can-eat meat, a few little girls complained that the kitchen stew was too much, and they were tired of eating, and discussed asking the kitchen to make a stir-fried bean sprouts at night.

Chunying saw them leave after dropping less than half of the meal, and somehow, she suddenly felt a little itchy at the root of her teeth.

The conditions of accommodation in Huanhuaxuan are also very good. The little girls live in a room for three people, the second-class girls live in a room for two people, and the big girls have their own bedrooms, the latter two of which live in the backyard. There is a common bathroom in the front and back yards - of course, they are all for the maids-in-law, and the third young master has his own private bucket - the bed utensils are also good, I heard that every three years, the public middle school will make new quilts for the maids.

After Chunying learned this information, she couldn't help but sigh. The conditions here are so good, it's no wonder everyone wants to squeeze in. However, do the maids in the Hou Mansion have such good treatment? It's going to cost a lot of money, right? How many industries does the Hou Mansion have? How much can I earn each year? She remembered that her father and mother had mentioned that the Lu family had been mixed in the Hou Mansion since her grandfather's grandfather, so it would be a hundred or two hundred years, right? Usually the family of wealthy dignitaries is passed down to the third generation, and it is difficult to continue to maintain the dignity of the past, is it really okay if the Hou Mansion is so luxurious?

Chunying remembered the Jia Mansion in "A Dream of Red Mansions", losing power and raiding homes, people dying, selling and selling, even if it was a housekeeper who was once in power, he had to be picked on the street. She couldn't help but shiver, and once again strengthened her determination to redeem herself. She has been wearing it for more than half a year, except that the second young master is very perverted, and she has not heard of any illegal acts in the Hou Mansion, and the eldest lady is a prince and princess, so there should be no problem in a few years. She just needs to find a way to get out with her family during this period. In the future, even if something happens to the Hou Mansion, it has nothing to do with her!

Looking back at the little girls who were still arguing about whose hairpins were chic, whose yarn flowers were good-looking, and so on, Chunying's mood was a little complicated. They are actually quite innocent, after all, it is the owner of the Hou Mansion who has a luxurious style, which makes them develop a bad habit of being picky and wasteful. But didn't they think that most of the maids would have to leave the house when they became adults, or marry a small maid, or marry outside, and at that time, how could they, who have become accustomed to a luxurious life, adapt to the poverty of the outside world?

Thinking of this, Chun Ying secretly told herself to be vigilant, never to be hit by the sugar-coated cannonballs of the Hou Mansion, and forget her original intention of wanting to be free.

"What are you doing!" A pair of slender hands knocked on the table in front of her angrily, Chunying woke up and looked up to see that it was Qing'er, and she was also angry: "What's the matter?!" ”

"You're still asking me what's the matter?!" Qing'er sneered, "Let you come into the courtyard, it's not for you to eat and drink for nothing, hurry up and give me work!" ”

Chunying glanced at her, and after picking up the last bite of rice in the bowl, she put the dishes and chopsticks back into the basket containing the dishes, washed her hands, picked up the broom, and walked out in front of her. Qing'er stared at her for a long time, but she didn't receive any response, grinded her teeth, turned her head and scolded the other little girls: "What are you doing sitting still?" Get to work! ”

She had been serving the third young master with Meilan Juzhu Sixiang since she was a child, and since the latter moved to Huanhuaxuan, she has grown up day by day, and she feels that compared to Meilan and the two, she may still have shortcomings, but compared to Juzhu, she is not bad. After Juxiang and Zhuxiang both had an accident and were driven out of the house in disguise, she thought that she was the first person in the second-class girl's ring, Mei Xianglanxiang was old, and in two years, who else in Huanhuaxuan could cross her? Who knew that there was Manru who was personally promoted by his wife, and then there was the rouge of Princess Jing's speech, although people didn't say it explicitly, but in their hearts she was already ranked behind these two, and now she didn't even put the new little girl in her eyes, so how could she swallow this breath? ! In any case, she had to find a way to regain her lost prestige.

Chunying didn't know anything about Qing'er's thoughts, she just thought she was very annoying, so she just finished lunch, and the autumn sun was still quite fierce, what kind of work did she do at this time?

Speaking of her work, she mainly cleans the corridor on the side of the inner courtyard, which is about 20 meters long, including the railing on the corridor. However, the doors and windows on the side are taken care of by someone else, and they are not under her control.

As is customary, she gets up every morning at dawn, sweeps the floor with a broom, and then wipes it back and forth with a dry or damp cloth depending on the weather conditions until the floor is spotless. This work must be completed as soon as possible, and the third young master greets his grandmother and parents every morning at two o'clock, and ensures that he does not see a single trace of dust when he walks through this corridor. When he left, she could start cleaning the railing, which she also carefully wiped with a cloth.

At the beginning, she muttered in her heart, would it be too exaggerated for twelve little girls and four mothers-in-law to share the sanitation work of the two small courtyards? As a result, I realized that it was not an exaggeration at all. She finished the set, went for a long time, and in the evening, she had to sweep the floor again.

She thought about switching to a mop, so that she could save some effort and not bend her waist so hard, but she was refuted by Lan Xiang, on the grounds that using a mop is not as clean as a rag, and it is too far from the ground, even if there is something on the ground, it will not be visible.

Chunying had no choice but to continue to mop the floor with a cloth, but fortunately she was accompanied by Shi'er, and it was not boring.

Shi'er is responsible for the work of the doors and windows in her corridor. Although ice cracks are already simple, it is not a trivial task to wipe every wooden frame every day. Shi'er herself was very satisfied, she smiled and said: "This life is very easy, you didn't see the old lady and the little girl in the wife's house, the doors and windows they cleaned are tiring!" Last time, I went to the wife's courtyard to find Sakura and Little Peach to play, but they were pulled together to wipe the carved windows of the Ruyi pattern, but it took a lot of effort, I heard that the old lady's window carved is the Eight Immortals across the sea, and each time two people have to wipe it for a long time! ”

Chunying was stunned when she heard this, and looked back at the ground and railing she was responsible for, and felt that she was actually happier. I don't know what the eldest sister Qiuyu does in the old lady's house? God forbid that she doesn't need to wipe the window of the Eight Immortals.

After finishing the work, there is still some free time, and the lively little girl can go to other yards to hang out, or find an excuse to play in the garden, such as claiming that a certain sister ordered her to fold a few flowers and go back to insert a bottle. People who are more calm are more likely to stay in the room and do needlework. They can apply to the big girl in charge, receive the material and needle and thread, and finish the work assigned to them, and the rest of the thread and cloth will be their own.

Chunying was very happy at first, although her needlework was still mediocre, but after practicing a lot, there would always be progress, and when she learned to embroider well, she made purse sachets with those good materials, and sent them home to her mother to sell, it should be worth some money, right? But soon she was poured cold water.

It turns out that in addition to doing needlework on the bright surface, the little girls also have to help the first- and second-class Yahuan sisters do private work, clothes, shoes, and when they are done, they have no time to do anything else. And the transfer of items between the inner courtyard and the outside is very strict, even if something is done in Huanhuaxuan, it can only be brought back when you go home, if it is known by others, it is easy to become a handle, and the deduction of monthly money is still light, if you hit it hard, maybe you will have to be beaten up.

Huanhuaxuan is Mei Xianglanxiang in charge, they have always been decent in the house, and they have high requirements for everyone in Xuanzhong, not only to go out and dress neatly, but also to act without mistakes, under their noses, it is not easy to hide something. Not to mention that the room where the little girl in the front yard lives is not locked, anyone can enter as long as they want to.

Chunying gritted her teeth and took over a few uppers thrown by Qing'er, and pedaled back to the room.

She should have known that even if she has a good material life, Yahuan is still Yahuan, and there can be no human rights and privacy...... She must resolutely raise her vigilance, resist the confusion of sugar-coated shells, and keep in mind her goal of pursuing freedom!
