Chapter 005: Go to the palace to work
Xue Lengyu thought in a mess, and after a while, Xue Mu's voice came from outside the door: "Leng Yu, it's time to eat." ”
"Here we are." Xue Lengyu hurriedly responded.
Pushing open the door, Father Xue had already returned, and the food on the table outside had been placed, Xue Lengyu sat down at the table, looked at the dishes on the table, and frowned unconsciously.
On the table is a plate of green vegetables, a plate of shredded potatoes with green peppers, a bowl of steamed sweet potatoes, and a bowl of home-pickled salted eggs. Xue Lengyu knew that this salted egg was only afraid that it was still a meal that Xue's mother had added to herself.
Yes, such an era, such a person. How can it be a big fish and a big meat every day?
Xue Mu saw Xue Lengyu frowning, and couldn't help but panic: "What's the matter, is the dish unappetizing." ”
Hey, my daughter is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea every day in Murong Mansion, but how can she eat these things at home.
"No, no, no." Xue Lengyu hurriedly said, "It's just ...... My daughter is so old, I can't let you live a good life, I can't help it. ”
"Silly girl." Mother Xue put her mind at ease and said with a smile: "You are home, and your father and mother are already very satisfied when they see that you are safe and sound." ”
Xue Lengyu shook his head, no, this is absolutely not possible.
"Daddy." Xue Lengyu suddenly said, "Aren't you doing things in the palace?" Is there still a job to be hired there? Find me something to do. ”
"No, no, no." Father Xue hurriedly shook his head: "The palace is recruiting people, but the recruits are all miscellaneous people, how can you go." ”
Although his daughter was born in a poor family, because of her intelligence, she and her wife are accustomed to not being able to lift their hands and shoulders, so how can they serve others.
"What do the subordinates recruited by the palace do?" Xue Lengyu did not give up. What's wrong with the next person, as long as you have the ability, you can still get mixed up.
"Cleaning, laundry, taking care of the lady in the house or something." Father Xue said: "It's all about serving people. ”
"That's nothing." Xue Lengyu said: "I can do it." ”
"Still won't work." Father Xue still didn't think about it: "What you usually pamper is that others serve you and let you serve others, how can this work." There are many rules in the palace, and if you accidentally do something wrong, you will be punished. ”
"It's okay." Xue Lengyu said: "The family conditions are not good, I am such a big person, I should go and earn some money to subsidize the family." Don't worry, I'm measured. ”
Father Xue and Mother Xue glanced at each other, and Mother Xue said: "Dad, it's really not good, you will take Leng Yu to see it tomorrow, if she is too hard or something, then we will come back and not do it." ”
"Okay then." Father Xue sighed. Now that Xue Lengyu is back, the expenses of one more person in the family are a little unbearable. What's more, Leng Yu was retired like this, and if they find someone to marry, they are afraid that they will not be able to marry any good people, and they will have to save some dowry for their daughter. In the future, when the daughter marries, she will no longer be angry with her in-laws.
Xue Lengyu achieved his goal, picked up the bowl and beckoned Xue's father and mother to eat. She is more open than Xue's father and Xue's mother, what a big deal, isn't she just going to be a maid in the palace? Be cautious, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find the big tree and turn over.
This is her bad luck, Xue Lengyu has already been swept out of the house when she walks through. If she had taken a step in the morning, she might have been in the position of the young grandmother of Murong Mansion. That Murong Haoxuan, aside from his temper, is still good in other aspects.
Xue Lengyu fantasized all night, and the next morning, before dawn, he got up to freshen up and dress up, and followed Xue's father out of the door amid Xue's mother's advice.
Of course, along the way, Father Xue inevitably had to say a few words.
"Leng Yu." As soon as Father Xue spoke, Xue Lengyu said, "I know, I know." When you enter the palace, you must obey the rules, do more things and talk less, don't offend people, don't meddle in your affairs, and go home if you can't do it. ”
Father Xue was robbed of white for a while, and he had nothing to say.
Xue Lengyu said: "My mother has spoken hundreds of times in the morning, so don't worry." I won't have a problem. If I don't think I can do it, go home immediately. ”
Father Xue shook his head helplessly, his daughter was really sensible, and she was really uncomfortable for a while.
It's still that familiar street, Xue Lengyu has come to this place for the third time, and sighed as he walked, this is the so-called rich area, it seems that dignitaries and dignitaries all live in this area. This Mu Wangfu, I don't know what kind of family it is, and it doesn't seem like Father Xue to inquire carefully, because in Father Xue's opinion, Lord Mu is a well-known figure, and Xue Lengyu doesn't know, so it's too strange.
Father Xue didn't know what Xue Lengyu was thinking, he was just worried about his daughter getting into trouble all the way, or he kept babbling. Xue Lengyu knew that Father Xue was worried, so he listened with a smile. No rebuttal.
King Mu's Mansion was closer to the Xue family than Murong Mansion, and Xue Lengyu and Father Xue had been gone for more than half an hour, and Father Xue stopped and said, "It's here." ”
"Here?" Xue Lengyu looked back and forth, left and right, but it was just a high wall, and he didn't see any decent gatehouse. No, could it be that Prince Mu is a thrifty and loving prince, and he is so low-key.
Father Xue pointed to the alley beside him: "To enter from here, we can only go through the side door of the palace." ”
Xue Lengyu nodded and remained silent.
Sad, when you go out of Murong Mansion, you go to the wrong door, and when you enter Muwang Mansion, you still go out of the wrong door. When would she rather be cocoa, so that she can raise her eyebrows once.
After entering the alley, you can only walk a few dozen steps, and there is a small door. Compared with the regularity of Murong Mansion, there were also two Tsing Yi Xiao Si standing on both sides of the small door, and when they saw Father Xue, they smiled and said, "Uncle Xue, come to work." ”
Father Xue has been in the palace for a few months, and he is also familiar with these subordinates in the palace, so he said: "Two little brothers, is Mr. Wang in the palace now?" ”
Tsing Yi Xiao Si thought for a while and said, "Yes, at this point, Manager Wang should be inspecting the construction site." ”
"Thank you, little brother." Father Xue said: "I have something to find him." ”
Tsing Yi Xiao Si saw Xue Lengyu following behind Father Xue, and said, "Uncle Xue, is this your daughter?" ”
"yes." Father Xue said: "It's called Leng Yu, I heard that the palace is looking for someone, and I want to try it." ”
"Oh, that's it, then you go to Mr. Wang to have a look." Tsing Yi Xiao Si Dao.
"Then I'll go in first." Father Xue greeted Leng Yu and entered the door.
Xue Lengyu lowered his head and followed behind Father Xue, he was not familiar with life, so it was better to be low-key and cautious.
Behind him, I could hear the discussion of Xiao Si in Tsing Yi: "This old man Xue, I didn't expect his daughter to be so beautiful." ”
"yes." Another person quipped, "If you become a maid in the palace, you beg the king's steward to allow her to be your daughter-in-law." ”
Xue Lengyu broke out in a cold sweat, wouldn't it be like in the Dream of Red Mansions, after being a maid in the palace for a few years, the master would pick a random boy to match?
