Walking on the road, the maid looked at her sideways: "Are you really going to the middle courtyard?" ”

"Of course."

The maid is very strange, with her appearance, she will definitely be left behind, and it is an ordinary family, what the princess wants to find is a woman with no background, so she can rest assured, but she doesn't have these wishes.

The two of them arrived in the kitchen of the middle courtyard, even if the maid of the palace was a subordinate, the work she did was not rough work, she originally wanted to let Mu Jiaren be responsible for serving the food and banquet, after all, her appearance was outstanding, and it was more suitable to serve the food and serve the master.

"This ...... Isn't it a maid who just entered the house? Mama looked at her with some puzzlement.

"Everything is the same, I'm not a big family, and I don't know much about those rules." Mu Jiaren walked straight to the backyard and saw two family members chopping firewood, and two others tidying up.

Mu Jiaren found a wooden pier, easily lifted it to the side and put it down, then found an axe by the wall, looked at the blade, flicked it with his hand, and shook his head: "Is there a whetstone?" ”

The sturdy man looked at her and sneered: "Little girl, this axe is no better than an embroidery needle, if you don't get it, you will lack arms and legs." ”

Then they all started laughing.

Mu Jiaren doesn't care, although she is thin, but her strength is naturally great, when she was in the sect, chopping wood and carrying water, and even arranging the martial arts training ground, it was her business, so the other brothers didn't think she was a girl.

Mu Jiaren found the whetstone, sharpened the axe, and put a bundle of firewood next to it, selected a short and thick piece of wood and put it away, held the axe with both hands and lifted it to split, the wood became two halves, and then Mu Jiaren picked up half of the wood and chopped it again, very easily and quickly, just a few times, the wood became a small firewood with the thickness of the wrist.

The housekeeper and the maid were dumbfounded.

"You have so much strength in your small body?"

The family didn't believe it, so she picked up her axe and cut it down, and found that it was still the same as usual, not as easy as she did, but the axe was a little sharper and easier to split.

Mu Jiaren pointed to the firewood pile piled up next to the wall and said, "Is this the end of today?" ”

Jia Ding suddenly turned his head, looked at the five- or six-foot-wide firewood pile by the wall, and said with wide eyes: "This is our three-day amount!" ”

Mu Jiaren raised the axe and said to herself while splitting: "The palace is so economical? ”

When she was in the Tianya Pavilion on the clouds, the firewood needed to be cut down from the big tree on the mountain and then split into wooden sections to bring back, and it was much easier for her to split it directly here.

Several people gasped, and the maid in charge and the grandmother on the side were also dumbfounded.

"In the future, the matter of banquets and meals will be bothered by my grandmother and taught more." The maid Jade spoke.

Mama Li nodded: "Don't worry, girl, I will teach this ...... slowly"

Mama Li didn't know what to call Mu Jiaren.

Jade looked at Mu Jiaren: "Since you have come to the palace to be a person, everyone will call you a beauty, you have to learn etiquette from your grandmother, and know how to serve your master." ”

"Okay." Mu Jiaren shouldered the axe and readily agreed.

It doesn't matter to her what she does, it's just that she is more comfortable in the middle courtyard, and she doesn't want to be the bed warmer next to the prince.

Mu Jiaren was already concentrating on doing things, thinking that she was going to take away a lot of rare medicinal materials from the palace, so she consciously worked hard, although this kind of behavior of cutting first and then playing is debatable, but she is not a person who owes favors in vain.

When it was time for lunch, several other family members were so hungry that they couldn't help but stare at her when they saw that Mu Jiaren was still doing it, why did a woman work so hard to chop wood?

The family members left to go to the outer courtyard for dinner, and Mama Li from the middle courtyard came to call her: "Girl, you can take a rest." ”

"Isn't this done?" When I was in the sect, I couldn't eat without completing the tasks assigned by the master.

"The palace has the rules of the palace, you have finished your morning work, naturally you have to eat with everyone, the palace is not better than the outside, you have to learn a lot more." Mama Li saw that Mu Jiaren was not from a young lady and was pragmatic, but she didn't understand the rules of the compound, so she kindly reminded her.

Mu Jiaren put down the axe and blessed herself slightly, and followed Mama Li to the maid's room in the middle courtyard to change clothes.

The clothes of the people of the palace are also very good, the green silk cloth is embroidered with willow yellow group patterns, because it is the subordinate of the middle courtyard, and the work is also rough, so a silver hollow bell is pinned on the placket, and the beautiful lotus leaves are carved on it.

The lotus leaf takes the homonym of "lotus" "he", which means home.

"Wearing a silver bell is the third-class maid of the palace, the second-class maid wears gold beads, the first-class maid wears a jade ring, and there are other differences between the ornaments worn by the maids in each courtyard, you will slowly understand."

Mu Jiaren nodded, and after Mama Li left, she simply cleaned up the bed, the room was for four people, and there were two beds on the left and right.

At this time, there was no one in the room, and Mu Jiaren was sitting on the edge of the bed and planning.

Is the palace recruiting people so casually? Don't know about it either? She only wrote her name and eight characters before, which made her a little puzzled, could it be that the people in the palace were the black-clothed people who slaughtered Baicao Valley, or the secret guards who saved the third senior brother?

Then Mu Jiaren shook her head, she must have thought too much, the guards of the palace were not those people that day, and in the position of the prince, there was no need to participate in it at all, the prince was injured many years ago, the prince was weak since he was a child, and when the emperor was alive, he asked many people to take care of him, and there was no need to wait until this time to destroy the Baicao Valley.

However, the palace compound is definitely not simple, she still stole the medicine early and left early, at least the women in the inner courtyard are difficult to entangle.

The dinner in the palace was relatively late, about three o'clock in the unitary hour, and after dinner, the princess called a few new women and Mama Jiaoxi to ask about today's affairs.

Ten women dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding silk fans to cover their faces slightly, ringing and dingling, walked into the hall, knelt down slowly with their skirts lifted, and their voices were soft and elegant.

"See the princess."

Teach Mama to present the booklet to the princess, through the water-green bead curtain, Princess Rongjin is wearing a blue gold thread pattern brocade robe, plain and elegant, revealing luxury, a string of topaz beads hanging around the neck, hanging down on the chest, looking more than thirty years old, her eyes are indifferent but proud, at this time she is slowly flipping through the booklet.

After reading it, the princess looked at several people: "All raise their heads." ”

The ten women looked up with a smile, and the princess nodded: "After entering the palace, you must remember the rules of the palace, this palace hopes that you will serve the prince well, and you can get the person who the prince loves, no matter her background, the Rongjin palace will not treat her badly." ”

"Yes."

Princess Rongjin was very happy to hear that her son wanted to choose a maid, for so many years he had never left any women by his side because of that incident, and now he is twenty, but he does not even have a side concubine, and the princess was once worried that the palace is no queen.

At this time, a voice came from outside: "Han Gongzi has arrived." ”
