Xingtie smiled and said: "If it's just you two little kids who go to beg the old woman, of course you can only go directly to avoid being suspected by her. But with me going all the way to intercede, you can't do that."

Li Hao said proudly: "I didn't expect that being young can have such benefits. It's better not to grow up."

Xue Yue'er teased: "Do you want to be this big forever? You are thin, short, and ugly as hell."

"My pleasure"

The three of them talked and laughed all the way and walked for nearly half an hour before arriving at the old woman's residence.There are several green brick houses, which are old but still spacious.

Xingtie approached the door that had peeled off the paint, grabbed the copper ring on the door and knocked it gently a few times.

"Who is it?" A middle-aged woman asked from the door.

"Xing Tie, the fine blacksmith from Quanzhou, is visiting."

The thick wooden door opened with a creak, and a nearly 30-year-old woman came out. Her appearance was pretty and pretty average.

"I don't know what's wrong, Master. I don't seem to have any equipment at home that I can entrust your shop to make." The woman looked at the two rural girls behind Xingtie and nodded suddenly, "You are here to see my mother-in-law."

"Exactly."

The middle-aged woman let the three people into the room, closed the door, and called into the inner room: "Mother-in-law, there are several guests coming to see you."

"Who, who would come looking for a bad old woman like me?"

An old woman with gray hair and a childlike face walked out of the hall. Her head was full of white hair, and her face was wrinkled like dried orange peel. However, she was still mobile and did not need a cane.

The woman received Xingtie's gift and opened it to see that they were two little dolls' satin robes. She couldn't help but be overjoyed. They could be used as birthday gifts for her own dolls.There were several sprigs of ginseng and other medicinal herbs beside her. She handed the tonics to the old woman and said, "Mother-in-law, look at the many tonics I have brought to you."

The old woman said: "Put the things away and go pour a few cups of tea for the guests."

Turning to Xingtie, he said: "Master Xingtie wants to beg the old lady to intercede and send these two little sisters to the palace to be maids. I'm afraid it's been a long time since they left the palace, and what the old lady said won't hold much weight."

Xingtie said: "It doesn't matter, as long as the old lady does her best. These are two little girls of my distant relatives in the countryside. Suddenly something happened in the family, so they had to be entrusted to me to take care of them. But I have no family, how can I take care of others? I had no choice but to ask the old lady for help. I sent these two little girls to the palace to work as maids for a while and learn some etiquette. After a few years, I could find a richer family to marry, which fulfilled my relative's wish. .”

The old woman nodded, turned to look at the two little girls with thin faces, looked at their palms specifically, and asked: "Both two little girls must have done housework, so they have endured hardship."

Li Hao and Xue Yue'er nodded at the same time and said, "We can endure any hardship."

The old woman still asked about their family backgrounds in detail.

Li Hao suddenly said: "I heard that those royal palaces are very strict in recruiting girls. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to strip people naked and inspect them?"

Xue Yue'er blushed and lowered her head at Li Hao's words.

The old woman smiled and said: "What's the matter? Do you think this is the palace recruiting maids? They usually check the family background and see if the person is available, then they sign a contract of prostitution."

Xingtie interjected: "This contract should only be signed for five years. There is no need to sell yourself. If you are favored by the palace, please trouble the old lady to bring the contract back. I will ask someone to come and get it tomorrow."

The old woman nodded and said, "That's good. Then I'll take you two little ones over and ask."

Xingtie nodded and said: "Xingtie will leave it to the old lady. I still have something to do, so I won't follow. I have rented a carriage for you outside and can take you back and forth. Also, don't talk about these two little ones." The doll is related to me so that they don’t get suspicious.”

The old woman said: "Of course I understand this. I would say they are the people in my rural village. The old woman has been bored at home for some time, and now it is good to go out for a walk. I don't know if those people still remember the old woman."

After parting, Xingtie discussed with Li Hao and Xue Yuer for a while before sending them off to the carriage.

Looking at the carriage going away, Xingtie shook his head and said with a wry smile: "These two little devils, it's best not to cause any big trouble."

"Little sisters, why did you agree to work as maids in the palace? The rules in the palace are very strict, unlike in the countryside where you can do whatever you want."

Sitting on the carriage, the shrewd old woman asked worriedly.

Li Hao: "Just be strict. I heard from Uncle Xingtie that there are a lot of delicious food in it, including chicken, duck, fish and so on. It's just right to make you fatter."

The old woman was amused by her and said: "That's right. There is indeed a lot of fish and meat there, more than in the countryside. But you may not have the opportunity to eat it. Only during the holidays, there are some silver rewards. With wine and meat. If you go in, you are not allowed to steal those things, otherwise you will be caught and spanked."

Li Hao said: "Oh, we have to wait until the New Year and the holidays, but it's okay, at least there is delicious food."

"However, the food you usually eat is much better than what you eat in the countryside. You two little sisters remember, when you go in, you must not steal anything."

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped and arrived at the palace.

The three people jumped out of the carriage. Li Hao looked at the tall and majestic palace gate and walls in front of him, as well as the stone lion squatting there angrily, and the armored guard with a sword standing motionless like the stone lion.

Li Hao also saw that the thick door panel inside was covered with gleaming yellow copper nails. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "My dear, there are still people guarding the door, just like those guarding the city gate. There are two more here. The stone lion looks so domineering, much more powerful than the Wangcai we had before."

Xue Yue'er said cooperatively: "Sister, be silent. Uncle Xingtie said you can't talk nonsense when you get here."

Li Hao stuck out his tongue and shrank behind her in fear, which made the old woman smile and shake her head. After all, he was a little kid from the countryside and would only hide when scared.

The old woman walked to the door and said to the guard with a sword: "Thank you for your hard work, two little brothers. Can you please bring a message in? The old woman is looking for Mi Yunxiang, the steward of the backyard."

The guard didn't even look at the old woman and was about to chase her away. When she mentioned the name of the backyard supervisor, he immediately became alert and said, "You still know Manager Mi? What's the matter?"

"I have a relative from the countryside who had trouble at home and asked me to take care of him, so he had to be sent to the palace as a maid. I would like to ask my former partner if he can help take care of her."

The soldier said: "It just so happens that the palace is busy with some things recently. You wait here and I'll ask Manager Song to come and take a look."

The old woman quickly bowed and said, "Thank you so much for this brother."

After a while, a fair and fat butler came out, wearing a rich hat on his head and a Chinese jade ring on his hand, and he was quite imposing.

 

When Li Hao and Xue Yue'er saw him coming out, they didn't salute and even shrank back in fear.

The old woman quickly said: "The little girl from the country is not very sensible. Don't blame Mr. Song. I wonder if Mr. Song still remembers the old woman."

The old fat man laughed loudly and said: "It turns out to be Sister Mei. What kind of wind has brought you here? Let's go, take these two little kids in and meet our old friends. You really have time now. At that time, the palace happened to be recruiting people, so you sent them over."

As Butler Song entered the gate, the winding pavilions and alleys were like twists and turns on a mountain road. The famous flowers in the elegant buildings were much more magnificent than Xue Yuer's home, which made Li Hao and Xue Yuer'er stunned. , the eyes are not flawless.

From time to time, they would inadvertently turn around to look at their housekeeper, and nod reassuringly. Sure enough, he was just a country boy who had no experience in the world, so there should be no problem.

Butler Song took them around for half a stick of incense and passed by a large kitchen in the backyard. He saw maids and servants coming in and out, all busy.

Before entering the room, Butler Song shouted loudly: "Yunxiang, your old sister is here to see you."

An old-looking woman walked out of it, wearing a purple satin robe and gold and silver, with a vague aura of superiority.When he saw the old woman in front of him, he said happily: "Sister Mei, I never thought you would come back to see my little sister."

The old woman Zhai Xiaomei said: "Oh, the palace is very strict and the road is long. My sister is fine now and she doesn't dare to go this way. I have nothing to ask you for this time."

Turning to point at Li Hao and Xue Yue'er, he said: "Something happened to my sisters in the countryside, so I entrusted these two little sisters to the old woman to help find a husband. But let me think about it, since we are looking for it, of course we have to I need to find someone better, but I'm afraid that these two wild girls from the countryside will be looked down upon because they don't know etiquette, so I specially sent them to the palace for training. I want Sister Yunxiang to take care of me, and don't worry too much about my face. What should I do? Just follow the rules."

"It just so happens that the palace is recruiting people. Sister Mei sent the people here just in time. Otherwise, my sister would not be able to accept them."

Mi Yunxiang looked at Li Hao and Li Hao carefully, asked some more questions, nodded and said: "There shouldn't be a big problem. I'll ask Butler Song to open a contract later. It's only for five years, right?"

Zhai Xiaomei nodded, and Mi Yunxiang added: "It's a rare time for me to come here, so I'll have a few drinks with my little sister. After a few years, I'm afraid my little sister will have to go home, and there won't be a chance to see each other again." too much."

"No, the rental carriage is still waiting outside. I don't want to wait for a long time."

Mi Yunxiang said: "What's going on? We must have a small drink. Let's do this. Ask Xiao Yang to take you back later, and call someone else in the carriage outside to ask him to go back first."

"Okay, it's rare that sister Yunxiang still remembers her old sister, so let's have a few small drinks. I really miss the time we used to be together."

As Butler Song presented two pieces of white paper with black writing, Li Hao and Xue Yue'er put two bright red fingerprints on it. The matter of entering the palace was settled easily.

After Li Hao and Xue Yuer signed the contract document, Mi Yunxiang said: "You two will help in the kitchen for now and get familiar with some rules. Then I will let you be the maids serving the master and get familiar with some etiquette rules." .Remember, you must not hit the master, you know."

He called a middle-aged maid and led the two of them to the place where they were staying, and also picked up the uniform of the palace's servants.

Li Hao and Xue Yue'er received two sets of servants' clothes, and while they were changing clothes, Xue Yue'er sighed sadly: "I didn't expect that I would leave such a good young lady alone, but I would come here to be a young lady. Maid, it’s really terrible to serve others.”

Li Hao laughed a few times and said: "Only those who can bend and stretch are extraordinary. Didn't the play say that even those famous heroes would still play beggars or something in order to solve crimes? How about that? It won’t be worse. So, let’s just pretend to be little maids, so that’s okay.”

Xue Yue'er said aggrievedly: "What's more, the last time you asked me to strip the bloody clothes of a dead man and wear those smelly and fishy clothes, you almost tortured me to death."

Li Hao said awkwardly: "Isn't this to escape? If you refuse to change your disguise for the sake of false face, you will lose your life. Maybe someone catches us and doesn't give us a quick blow, but cuts us one after another. It's so miserable, isn't it? Let's get over this difficulty first and get rid of that damn old man, and we will definitely be happy and happy in the future. It's getting late, hurry up and change your clothes and go out."

Just move, Li Hao and Xue Yue'er only took a few breaths of time to put on the clothes of the palace's servants. The skills they had learned through the disguise technique were very fast when used here.

The middle-aged maid watched the two little girls put on their clothes in a very polite manner, nodded and said: "Two little sisters, remember, from today on, you are a member of the palace, and you will be less Talk and do more, even if the master is not around, don't talk nonsense, you know?"

Li Hao nodded with sudden enlightenment, tilted his head and said curiously: "Why is this?"

"Don't ask so many whys. Remember, you just need to be obedient and don't talk nonsense."

The middle-aged woman explained clearly to them one by one the rules of how to salute the master when they met them.Hearing that she had to kowtow when she met her master, and couldn't get up until he walked over or greeted her, Xue Yuer couldn't help but stick out her tongue with a grimace, and grabbed Li Hao bitterly, until Li Hao choked. He grinned, regaining some balance.

The middle-aged maid led the two people to the kitchen, pointed to the pile of vegetables in front of them, which looked like a hill, and said to them: "You two little sisters, you have always washed the vegetables at home. This morning, you will put these vegetables into the kitchen." Finished. There have been a lot of guests from the palace recently, so there are a lot of things going on."

Xue Yue'er exclaimed: "No, you have to wash so many dishes."

The middle-aged maid frowned and said, "What, is there a problem?"

Li Hao pulled Xue Yue'er, shook his head and said: "No problem, I just didn't expect that you have to wash so many dishes once. When I was at home, you only had to wash a few dishes, but you can do it once." So many washes, that’s why my sister was surprised.”

The middle-aged woman then smiled and said: "You only have a few people in your family. Do you know how big the palace is? There are hundreds of people in total, which is more than the people who usually get married and make wine in your village. How many dishes do you think we need?" That's enough"

Under Li Hao's pull, Xue Yue'er said in surprise: "It turns out there are so many people, no wonder they have to wash so many dishes. I saw the banquet made by the neighbor next door when he married the bride, and the dishes were the same. It’s like a mountain of piles.”

Li Haodao: "Then let's start washing now."

The middle-aged woman said: "The dishes must be washed more cleanly. Even if the washing is slower, the dishes must be washed cleanly. If the dishes are washed too dirty, you will suffer."

Li Haodao: "I know, the dishes we wash at home are always very clean."

The middle-aged woman watched the two men washing the vegetable leaves in the water. After looking at them carefully for a while, she nodded and went to do her own business.

Along the way, Xue Yue'er and Li Hao learned to clean the entrails of beasts and so on, and she was almost used to these things. This is why Li Hao dared to let her come in as a maid.
