All the women stood in the courtyard, waiting in groups of three or five, looking left and right at the corridors around them, but they did not see the ten maidens from the palace. Luhuan comforted Zi Ning and said, "Ning'er, don't think too much, you go to live in the backyard, and I'll go with you." ”

Zi Ning couldn't help but be grateful, but she didn't want to drag down the green ring. Seeing them like this, Xianggui rolled her eyes and said funny: "The maids in the palace are so mysterious, they haven't seen a figure for a long time, aren't they all immortals, let us take a look at them and be afraid that they will melt?"

Zi Ning put the displeasure just now behind him, raised his hand and hugged Xianggui's shoulder, and couldn't help but smile: "You tell a few more jokes, make us have a good time, you look at Manzhu, there are more smiles on your face." ”

Xianggui rolled up her sleeves, raised her hand to pinch Manzhu's face, and said with a smile: "This kind of peugeot appearance makes it even more painful to laugh......" was laughing, when he suddenly heard an angry shout in the room, "Bold!" Manzhu was startled and turned his head in fear.

The two mothers-in-law lifted the curtain of the door, pushed the crying silver cicada out of the door, and said angrily: "This one is actually a sloppy dirty thing!" All the women looked at the silver cicada in shock, and saw that her face was flushed, and she bit her lip tightly, and her face was already full of tears, but she didn't say a word.

Ligu sat on the couch chair, pinched the tea cup in her hand, was silent for a long time, turned her head and said to Zhu Mama: "I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding, Mama ......"

Before she finished speaking, Mama Zhu interrupted unceremoniously and said coldly: "Looking at her demonic tone, Aunt Li still dares to say that she misunderstood." This is a family affair of the palace, and it is inconvenient for the old man to interfere, but he should always let the prince and the eldest princess know. The old body will return to the palace tomorrow morning and explain the matter to the queen's mother, as for this girl, whether she is dragged out and killed, or sold to the match, she must always do it properly and give Master Su an explanation!"

The muscles on Ligu's face twitched twice, her face was as ugly as ash, she hesitated for a moment, and said, "Since this is the case, it's all up to Mama." ”

Zhu Mama narrowed her eyes, the wrinkles on her face were more finely drawn, and she looked at Aunt Li and said with a smile: "What can the old man do about the affairs of the palace? It is better to leave it to the eldest princess, and then choose a decent one to make up for it, maybe you can save some face." ”

Saying that, the sleeves were lifted up, and the two mothers-in-law immediately came out, each with a dustpan, and distributed incense pieces to the maids. He turned his head and instructed an old woman beside him, "Go and call the girls out of the palace!"

The old woman agreed, and the other two dragged the crying silver cicada down. Aunt Li was helpless, so she had to bite the bullet and said: "Lock her up in the firewood room first, and then slowly interrogate her when Ming'er is free." ”

The ladies of the palace are all gloomy, and they are all ashamed of the silver cicada. Xianggui snorted and said: "Just now she laughed at Zi Ning for living in the backyard, and now she herself was relegated to the firewood room and became dumb." The silver cicada gritted her teeth and glared at Zi Ning, and the hatred in her heart was even stronger.

The women of the Tang Mansion let out a vicious breath, and they were secretly proud, with a look of pride and disdain on their faces. Shi Tao's shoulders trembled, her eyebrows raised, obviously very relieved, and said in a low voice: "Say that we are bad goods, she is the bad thing in this yard!"

Zi Ning squinted and saw Aunt Li's eyes giving Mama Qing a look, and the two of them had complicated expressions on their faces. I was secretly surprised in my heart, could it be that there was something hidden in this silver cicada, obviously Ligu and Qing Mama knew about it, if it wasn't for Zhu Mama to have a physical examination, they would definitely help the silver cicada cover up, and they would have been fooled by fishing in troubled waters.

Zi Ning couldn't guess Ligu's calculations, since Ligu favored Yinciao, why did she choose her as a maid?

After the mother-in-law finished distributing the incense pieces, the ten maidens in the palace lined up neatly and walked out of the side hall, all dressed in the same palace clothes. Standing in the middle of the courtyard, each with their hands folded in their sleeves, solemn and unsmiling.

Seeing that they were dressed conservatively and standing motionless, Lu Huan suddenly felt curious, and asked Zi Ning secretly: "Ning'er, you see, their clothes and jewelry are all the same color and style, and this glance is like ten identical siblings." ”

Xianggui clasped her hands lightly, covered the corners of her mouth with her sleeves, and whispered: "Is this a group of wood carvers? ”

Manzhu turned his head and said: "Presumably, there are many rules in the palace, and the grandmothers have trained them, so let's do it in the future." When Xianggui heard her, she didn't think so, pouted and said: "Rules are rules, whoever wants to be a wood carver, no matter how much he trains him in the future, he can't be the same as them." ”

When the ladies in the palace heard the discussion, they did not squint or speak, and there was no expression of joy or sorrow on their faces, and they stood upright and listened to the instructions of the grandmother.

Seeing that there were all the people, Zhu Mama looked around with a pair of old eyes and said, "Since you have entered the East Garden, you are the concubine of Master Su." In the past, you had a sharp heart, and from now on, you have to stop a little, no matter which house you are from, live in this East Garden, and those who are interested in making trouble will not be spared!"

The women agreed, and Aunt Li also turned her head and responded: "Mama rest assured, I will strictly manage them and teach them to learn the rules." ”

Zhu Mama nodded, and said with a smile on her face: "As long as Ligu always remembers the identity of Master Su, the style of this first scholar clan must not be broken by the concubine! Master Su can't rub a trace of fine ash in his eyes, if the concubine causes an accident, I'm afraid it will drag Aunt Li down. ”

The look of horror in Ligu's eyes flashed for a moment, and then she raised her hand to stroke the hair on her sideburns and said, "Thank you Mama for mentioning it, this rule should be stricter." ”

When the women heard the conversation between the two, they were all afraid in their hearts, and the faction of the first scholar clan was also big, and even the queen mother personally intervened in this matter, and the identity and status of Lord Su can be seen.

Ligu also ordered the maids and women who were waiting in the East Garden to come to the courtyard, shouted their names one by one according to the book, and ordered: "A few of you go to wash and chop firewood, those people boil water and cook, and you go to the porch to serve the birdcage water ducks......" After the distribution, let the maids recognize the dress of the maids, and the maids and maids have different identities, each has a hierarchy of dignity and inferiority, and cannot exceed the rank.

The slaves and maids left in two groups, each busy with their assigned tasks. Only then did the maids know that the maid went to work in the backyard and did not come to the courtyard to serve. Lord Su's intimate clothing and consumption are all taken care of by the maid herself.

I only heard Mama Zhu say: "Ladies and gentlemen, listen carefully, in the future, Master Su will eat and dress, and there must be no mistakes." You are all wives, and you must serve your lords properly. ”

Ligu bowed forward and explained: "Among the scholars of the Great Jin Kingdom, those who can serve closely have at least the status of concubines like concubines. But Lord Su came to Beijing this time without bringing his family, so you are lucky to be able to get close to Lord Su. ”

Mama Qing, who didn't have a chance to speak, turned her head to look, and saw that Mama Zhu was smiling and her face was better, so she hit the railroad while it was hot: "Mama in the palace came over in person, this is a lot of grace." Turning to look at the maidens, "If you are serving closely, you will have the opportunity to be favored, who is favored by Lord Su and promoted to a companion and a good concubine, and will have a good life in the future, and stay up to the taste of a concubine, which is a lifetime of creation." ”

The women looked at each other, and then sighed secretly, Master Su is a white-headed old man, who wants to compete for favor, even if he wins, how many years can such favor last?

Zi Ning pondered another thing in his heart, the man of the scholar clan was really like what the history books said, all the wine bags and rice bags, embroidered pillows, and when he saw the horses, he thought they were tigers, and he even had to be fed with a spoonful of food by the maid?

At this time, I heard Xianggui scold in a low voice: "Dozens of people are busy working around an old guy, and he is injured by a thousand knives, isn't he irritable himself!"

Lu Huan was puzzled on the side: "Since Master Su is that age, why did he choose a concubine for him? His age can be my grandfather!"

Xianggui hurriedly answered: "Who said no, I chose young and beautiful." This Lord Su is old, he can't take care of himself well, get some beautiful girls, isn't he an old pervert?"

Zi Ning said in a low voice: "These mansions are befriending Lord Su and sending their concubines as congratulatory gifts, maybe they have other purposes. In my opinion, Sanfu is not well-intentioned, flattering Master Su on the surface, and in his bones he can't wait to let the old man see the king of Hades, so he chooses these beauties for him. "I vaguely noticed that Sanfu's intention to send a maid was ambiguous, and no one could guess what kind of thoughts he had. ————
