"This is the clothes of the palace maid in front of you, even if you know how to needlework, you may not have fabric, if you feel embarrassed, I will help you find someone."

"Who?"

"Jin Qiao of the manufacturing room, we all call her Sister Qiao, she has a very good temperament, and her sewing skills are also very good, you promise her to make a new one."

"And how should I thank her?" Mu Jiaren thought, you can't let others pay in vain just because they have a good temperament.

Tao Ran thought for a while: "She doesn't have any preferences, she doesn't like to eat or wear, and she doesn't save much money, she will agree to everyone asking her for help, otherwise, you can make some snacks, anyway, I haven't seen her collect money." ”

"Okay, I got it."

In the morning, Tao Ran helped give the clothes to Jin Qiao, and after lunch, Mu Jiaren made pastries and sent them to the manufacturing room, and saw several palace maids sewing clothes.

"Excuse me, is Sister Jin Qiao here?" Mu Jiaren asked.

One of the women pointed to the northernmost corner: "She is Jin Qiao." ”

After finishing speaking, several people began to chat and sew clothes again, as if Jin Qiao did not exist.

Mu Jiaren is a little strange, their attitude towards Jin Qiao is not kind, since she has a good temperament, why should they isolate her?

"Sister Jin Qiao." Mu Jiaren stepped forward to say hello.

Jin Qiao looked up at her, put down the clothes in his hand and immediately got up: "It's Sister Xia Zhu." ”

Her voice was small, she was in her early twenties, her body was thin, her face was not very good, and she looked very haggard.

"My sister is unwell?"

"No, no, I was meant to be." After speaking, she hurriedly pulled a chair for Mu Jiaren to sit.

"It's a little bit of heart, and I don't know what you like to eat."

She opened the food box, and Jin Qiao waved her hand again and again to refuse: "It's just a few stitches, my sister doesn't have to be so polite." ”

Mu Jiaren smiled and brought out the dim sum: "You just accept it, so that I can ask you for help in the future, and I can speak." ”

"I'm clumsy, I can't help my sister with anything."

"Why, aren't you sewing clothes for me?"

She saw that the sleeves on the table had been cut and sewn a short section, and Mu Jiaren could also needlework, and it was not bad, and when she saw the stitches sewn by Jin Qiao, she knew that her ability was very strong.

"If my sister is not in a hurry, you can sit down, I will sew it quickly, if you have something, I will send you to the dining room later."

"It's nothing, now that lunch is done, everyone is resting."

Mu Jiaren watched her sew, the technique was very skillful, the stitches were clean and neat, and it was very hidden.

In less than half an hour, the clothes were mended.

"Sister, look at it, do you need to change it again."

"No, my sister sews well."

Then she folded her clothes and prepared to leave, and Jin Qiao put the snacks into the food box.

"Sister, take it and eat it yourself, I'm not hungry."

Mu Jiaren was about to speak, but the palace maid in the division room next to her suddenly laughed.

"Yes, Sister Qiao eats very well every day, so you don't have to worry about her."

Mu Jiaren didn't understand, with Jin Qiao's face, how could it be good to eat?

"You use the fabric of our company's room, I should be grateful for being in charge, we are not like Sister Qiao, someone hurts."

Jin Qiao didn't refute them, but just whispered, "Sister Xia Zhu, go get busy." ”

Mu Jiaren put the food box in front of the palace maids.

"If the sisters don't dislike it, I'll give you a taste."

One of the palace maids opened it and saw that it was a golden silk jujube cake, which was a snack eaten by the little masters.

"You're Xia Zhu."

Mu Jiaren nodded.

"Sure enough, the cooking skills are very good, and you can tell us anything in the future."

The people in the division room also heard that there was a palace maid with good cooking skills in the kitchen, and Linglong was worried that she would steal her position.

Seeing that they accepted it, Mu Jiaren politely said "thank you", and then pulled Jin Qiao out of the door.

A few people were a little strange, but they didn't pay attention to them.

After Jin Qiao was pulled out, he said in embarrassment: "Where is my sister going to take me?" ”

"Go to my place to eat, and I'll make you whatever you want."

"No, no, I still have something to do, my sister will go and get busy first." Jin Qiao broke free of Mu Jiaren's hand, and when she let go, she saw that there was a bruise on her wrist.

Mu Jiaren stepped forward and pulled her sleeves, and sure enough, her arms were injured, no wonder on such a hot day, Jin Qiao's underwear was still wearing cotton clothes.

Seeing that she didn't plan to say it, Mu Jiaren didn't ask.

"You wait for me."

She went back to the dining room and took a bottle of medicinal wine and a few pills, which Beichen Ye had prepared for her before.

"You take it, wipe it sooner or later, and it will be fine soon."

Jin Qiao still refused: "No." ”

"Are you worried about the smell? Don't worry, this medicinal wine will be wiped off for a while, and it won't taste good. ”

It is actually indecent for the palace maid to have a medicinal smell on her body, and she is the palace maid in the master room, so it is also very troublesome to get other fabrics.

Jin Qiao accepted it and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Mu Jiaren nodded and smiled, and when she turned around to leave, Jin Qiao stopped her.

"Sister Xia Zhu."

"What's wrong?"

"Will my sister's clothes also be smoked with this spice?"

Mu Jiaren shook her head: "I don't smoke clothes much, this one belongs to someone else." ”

"Oh, that's good, you're working in the Imperial Dining Room, and this aroma is going to be brought to the meal."

"Thank you sister for reminding me." She also felt that the smell was too long-lasting, and after taking it off yesterday, she still had this aroma on her body today.

It's not a strange taste, it's a very sweet and mellow taste with a little coolness, and this palace maid must have put a lot of effort into blending it.

The competition for favor in the palace is everywhere, and every piece of clothing shows scheming.

Back in the dining room, Mu Jiaren saw Bai Shao, and she happened to be about to return her clothes, so she also helped her change them.

"Sewn up so quickly?" Bai Shao looked at the clothes and felt that there was nothing wrong.

"Yes, the palace maid who found the master room to sew it is much better than my craftsmanship."

"Divisional room? Who? ”

"Sister Jin Qiao."

"Jin Qiao? She...... She doesn't talk much, her personality feels a little different, did she say anything to you? ”

Mu Jiaren shook her head: "No, she didn't ask for the snacks I sent, and her personality is indeed more withdrawn." ”

Bai Shao nodded after hearing this: "She is the palace maid, it is better for you to have less contact." ”

Mu Jiaren was stunned, to the palace maid? Jin Qiao is eating against the eunuch?

When she met Tao Ran in the evening, Mu Jiaren asked her about Jin Qiao's food.

"Well, Sister Qiao had already eaten with the eunuch before I entered the palace."

"So early?"

"I don't know the decisions made by the master, and it's not a bad thing to eat, they always think that Sister Qiao is not good, and they will isolate her, in fact, Sister Qiao is a good person."

Tao Ran said unconvinced.

Mu Jiaren nodded in agreement: "She is very good." ”
