A month is enough time to find out, Mu Jiaren pouted, that is, five taels of silver is a bit less, with the background of Tianya Pavilion, whatever you do, it is a hundred taels to start.

But she wasn't in it for the money.

Just as he was about to go forward to register, a team of domestic servants walked out of the palace, led by a man in his forties, dressed like a housekeeper of the palace, and there were more than a dozen maids standing behind him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please put the name tag and tokens on the tray and follow the old slave into the house."

More than a dozen maids came out of the palace and walked to them with a tray, Mu Jiaren looked at the maid beside her: "I'm not here to be a maid." ”

The maid said lightly: "The women here don't just want to be maids. ”

She was going to explain again, but it was useless to think about it, so she simply went in with her.

The palace compound is a total of seven in and seven out of the courtyard, in addition to a lot of guards here, the design of each courtyard is also different, it is difficult to escape if you enter and steal things.

Walking through the corridor through the courtyard, in front of a three-hole arch bridge, the stone pillars on both sides of the arch bridge are carved with stone lions of different shapes, the accompanying women are curious to look at the courtyard of the palace, and a few people who are familiar with each other will also whisper a few words.

Below the arched bridge was a small garden, and walked down the cloister to the western courtyard, which was simply separated by a screen, and they followed the maids into one by one.

"Do you have any talent?" The maid in front of him asked.

Mu Jiaren shook her head: "How to get to the middle courtyard?" I'm going to be a presenter. ”

The maid in front of her was full of doubts: "You are dressed like this, and you still want to be a person?" ”

She also looked at herself, she was dressed very plainly today.

The maid saw that she really didn't want to, so she pointed to the side: "You wait first, someone will take you there later." ”

Mu Jiaren rested in the courtyard on the side, where refreshments were placed, and there were stone carved rectangular pools on both sides, which were planted with water lilies, Mu Jiaren stepped forward to see, and the red and white koi fish were moving under the lotus leaves.

She picked up the dim sum on the table and tasted it, and it turned out to be quicksand cake! This is a famous snack in the capital, I didn't expect it to be used as a refreshment for hospitality here, the life of the palace is really rich, no wonder these women don't do it in everyone's ladies, they want to be maids.

"These refreshments...... Is it OK to eat? ”

Mu Jiaren heard a soft voice behind her, turned around and saw a girl wearing a goose yellow gauze skirt, her face was round, her eyes flashed, staring at the refreshments on the table, and she looked very cute.

"Yes, this is the quicksand cake in the capital, try it."

The girl smiled happily, two dimples bloomed at the corners of her mouth, she quickly stepped forward and sat down, picked up a snack and ate it, just two bites to eat, and when she went to get it again, she suddenly realized that she was in the palace, and immediately looked at Mu Jiaren in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry...... I...... I was rude. ”

She has seen too many beautiful men over the years, and now she likes it very much when she sees such a pink girl.

Mu Jiaren picked up a snack and gave it to her: "What's your name?" ”

"Du Xuanxuan, just call me Xuanxuan."

"You're so cute." Du Xuanxuan is not tall, she looks fifteen or sixteen years old, and her face with baby fat looks like she wants to be pinched.

"What's the matter, sister, this is making fun of me, a look like my sister is the one who can serve His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm just here to go through the motions."

"What do I look like? Is it good-looking? ”

Du Xuanxuan took the snack, took a bite and said: "Of course, my sister is tall, her eyes are big and bright, her lips are red and her teeth are white, her skin is white and beautiful, and the important thing is that her sister has a special temperament, and she looks behind the door!" ”

Mu Jiaren raised her eyebrows suspiciously after hearing this, she really looks so good? Anyway, I haven't felt it for so many years, as for the Jiangmen, there are many generals in the Cloud Tianya Pavilion.

"Everyone will sit so indecently, it really makes us see for a long time."

When the two of them heard the prestige, six or seven women walked in at the door, and the purple-clothed woman led by them looked very arrogant.

"There is no end to learning, and it is my honor to let you grow your knowledge." Mu Jiaren didn't care about her words at all.

The woman in purple stepped forward with a few people and walked to Mu Jiaren's side, Du Xuanxuan saw their momentum and hurriedly got up to give up her seat, but several people did not sit down, but looked at Mu Jiaren condescendingly.

"Little woman Meng Tingyu, I don't know what this young lady is called, where is she from?"

Mu Jiaren poured a cup of tea, drank it slowly, and then raised her head and smiled: "Guess." ”

When the woman on the side saw it, she was immediately dissatisfied: "We asked you your name, why don't you want to say it?" Sister Meng is the daughter of the Meng family in Jiangnan Weaving, no matter how noble your status is, you can't be so rude. ”

Jiangnan weaving, originally one of the four imperial merchants of the Meng family, the new emperor succeeded to the throne when the dragon robe and the phoenix robe when the queen was sealed are from Jiangnan weaving.

Just now I heard someone talking outside, saying that the palace selected maids and asked not to be the official eunuch's house, so it seems that Meng Tingyu can indeed have a sense of superiority.

"Rude? What if you're an imperial merchant? In this palace, you and I are ordinary people, naturally on an equal footing, if you become the master one day, then come to call the next person. ”

As she spoke, she stuffed the red fruit into Du Xuanxuan's hand: "Give it to you." ”

"That's a golden travert! You are so poorly dressed, how can you have such valuable fruit? ”

A woman in pink beside Meng Tingyu looked at her unconvinced.

The corners of Mu Jiaren's mouth hooked, and a smile rose: "I just like your appearance that I haven't seen the world." ”

The woman's face was red and her ears were red, and Meng Tingyu stepped forward to relieve the siege: "Jinxia fruit is a tribute, only noble courtiers and royal families will eat it, since you have been rewarded, and you can easily give it away, I'm afraid you don't know it at all." ”

She guessed correctly, she really didn't know Jin Xia Guo, but she didn't care.

Du Xuanxuan didn't dare to move while holding the fruit, but just looked back and forth with her eyes, and unconsciously hid behind Mu Jiaren.

Mu Jiaren poured another cup of tea and drank it slowly, it seems that the vendor just now will be from the palace, but why did he find her? And give such an obvious hint?

Could it be that his identity was revealed so quickly?

She shook her head, the purpose of her coming to the palace would not be exposed so quickly, Mu Jiaren's identity as a woman has not been used much for so many years, no matter how powerful the palace is, it will not be able to find out her bottom so easily.

After eating and drinking, a maid in charge came to announce the results.

Of the more than a dozen women, only five remained, Du Xuanxuan and Meng Tingyu were on the list.

The maid in charge looked at everyone and asked, "Mu Jiaren will follow me to the middle courtyard." ”

When Meng Tingyu saw her stand up, her face changed from surprise to pride: "It turns out that you are a subordinate of the Middle Court, heh." ”

The two women beside her also taunted, and Du Xuanxuan ran over to comfort Mu Jiaren: "Sister Mu, there must be something wrong, I can stay, you must be able to!" ”

Mu Jiaren smiled and touched Du Xuanxuan's head, and followed the maid away.
