"Nurse Xu, are all the maids that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is sending over here?" A dignified and elegant young woman calmly put down the teacup she had just taken a sip of, and asked the old lady beside her.

"If we go back to Fujin, we will wait outside for Fujin to go and choose. But just now, the steward mentioned something to the servants, saying that one of them is called Niuer, who is only ten years old this year. According to the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs..." The old woman called Mother Xu stopped hesitantly halfway through her report, and looked up at the young woman.

"What are you talking about? Aren't all the 13-year-old girls in this election? How many things can such a young child do?" The young woman frowned slightly, her tone turned cold.

"I heard that because there is no one in Niu'er's family, she used to beg for food with some relatives. Later, she was met by the wife of Shang Zuoling from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was a pity that she didn't even have a decent life, so she begged her husband to take care of her." She arranged to enter the palace, and Fujin also knew that there were many rules in the palace. Eunuch Chen was worried that since the child entered the palace through a different way, he was afraid that life in the palace would be even more difficult in the future. It happened that the mansion needed more people, so he sent her to the palace. Come to our Baylor mansion to show Fujin, and hope that Fujin will take good care of her and leave her a place to settle down in the mansion, so that she can have a better future in the future." Madam Xu explained respectfully.

"It turned out to be like this, but I hope to pick out some honest and reliable ones, and I can rest assured that these big maids are getting older now, except for those who have arrangements at home, the master will help them to be good friends and prepare for marriage. Then two or three years, soon one year will be out of the house, and at that time, there must be one or two of these people who can be brought up. The elder brother is not in good health, and the people around him have to choose more careful people to serve him. You must know that Baylor Grandpa attaches great importance to elder brother... Forget it, let's go and see first before deciding!" The young woman tugged at her sleeve lightly, and then said again.

Nanny Xu and the two maidservants in the room hurriedly followed the young woman out of the main room and came to the yard. At this time, in the yard, there were a group of little girls standing there waiting to be selected by the master to assign tasks. After a few little girls looked at it, they wondered which ones to keep.

After a while, five girls in their teens were picked out, and the last one was the ten-year-old girl Niuer who was just mentioned by Madam Xu. Immediately, Fujin gave them new names, namely Hongxing, Green willow, spring peach, summer lotus, autumn chrysanthemum and winter plum.

And Niu'er was Jiang Hanyao who was sent here by the stele to practice. Now she has been renamed Luliu. When she first came here, she inherited most of the memories of the original owner. Later, she knew that she was sent to Kangxi for 39 years. Let people be allowed to enter the palace as a maid, because Sibeile Mansion wants to add people, so they are "lucky" to be brought to Sibeile, that is, the palace of the future Emperor Yongzheng. The master is chosen.

Mother Xu saw that the little girls selected by Fujin were still standing upright, she nodded secretly, and then ordered everyone to do their work, from sweeping the yard, tidying up the house, to serving tea and water, etc. Candidates.

"Let the green bamboo teach some rules for the few of them, and let the Ministry of Internal Affairs take back those who are not selected, Hong Ling." After finishing speaking, Fujin returned to the main room.

Hong Ling, who was named by the master, immediately gave a small red envelope to each of the people who were not selected, while Lu Zhu led the six people to the small room in the backyard to allocate beds and ask a tailor to measure new clothes.

The job assigned to Luliu was to clean up Honghui's house, and she and Chuntao were in charge of this job together, because Honghui was actually only three years old, and the nanny was still leading him in and out, so there was no girl close to him for the time being. Serving, but when Honghui gets older, he will probably assign two maids to serve him personally.

Generally speaking, the maid eunuch who can serve the master close to him has many benefits, but the work is not easy. After all, he meets the master every day and does the most delicate work, such as changing clothes, combing hair, taking care of the private house, etc. The affection is different. The palace maids and eunuchs who do handymen outside, even the senior ones can command the other little maids in the room to do things on behalf of the master, and the little maids will respect this kind of maids and eunuchs.

Except for the eldest maid who lives in the side room of the master's courtyard, the maids who work in the palace live in the back room at the end, making people want to do nothing at night, even if they are not in the palace. , there are many rules in this Baylor Mansion. The maids in the inner courtyard are absolutely not allowed to go to the outer courtyard. Their living space is not only the master’s courtyard, but also the garden, kitchen, etc. in the backyard. There are two days a month that they can make their own decisions. Yes, but the master still needs to agree to leave the mansion.

The advantage of this division of labor is that everyone actually does not do much. Luzhu, who taught Luliu and the others, was one of the maids who served Fujin. Later, after Honghui was born, he was transferred to this room to serve Honghui's daily life. I also need to monitor whether those mothers and maids are doing something unclean. I take it for granted that they are people whom Fujin trusts very much, but Luliu once heard her say that sooner or later next year, she will go home and get married. The object was found by the master for her, and she was a small steward of the Zhuangzi who belonged to the palace.

"It's really great. I didn't expect to get this job. My mother-in-law was always worried that no master would take me." The girl whose name was changed to Xia He was a bit lively, but also very rough. She sat on her bed, He collapsed down without a serious image, and said.

"No matter how good it is, it's good to be a handyman. It's serious if you can stay for a few years to be appreciated by the master. Luliu and Chuntao are the happiest, and they must have the best chance to meet the master when they are selected to do the errands in the elder brother's house." We are here." Qiu Ju said enviously.

"Is there any difference?" Lu Liu looked at the crowd puzzled, as if everyone had similar eyes.

"Did no one tell you? Like Hong Xing and Qiu Ju who are sweeping the yard, they naturally have to avoid when the master will come and go. How can they show their faces in front of the master? Hong Xing said that they serve tea and water in the main room. But there are Aunt Baiyu and Aunt Qinglian beside Fujin, how can it be our turn to approach the master? Let alone Dongmei who is in charge of boiling water." Chuntao looked at Luliu contemptuously, as if she knew Luliu My family background is not so good, but I still do the same job as myself, and I suddenly feel that my level has been lowered.

"So that's the case." Lu Liu suddenly nodded.

It's just that when Luliu looked at the crowd again, no one paid attention to her. They each packed their own things, and the hand holding the rough cloth bag suddenly became a little stiff. Have a fight?

But this is what Luliu is not good at. Although she lived to be more than 30 years old in her previous life, because the formula of longevity focuses on calm cultivation, even though the steles often give her some very strange tasks, forcing her to contact outsiders, but doing Tasks are different from living a life. She can't force herself to cater to those people's selfish and weird ideas, but she is also doing tasks now... as long as she can live her life safely, it will be fine.

When cleaning and tidying up Honghui's room, Chuntao would chat with Luliu if she was in a good mood, for example at this time...

"I heard from my Ama that Lord Belle is only in his early twenties this year, and there are not many waiters in the house. Although we are from Baoyiqi, we are still superior to others. If we can get Lord Belle Favor, you might be able to be a half-master in the future, you can tell from Song Gege that although his status is inconspicuous, he still has a servant girl to serve him. How nice it is not to have to do chores by himself? Alas! I was assigned to this job He said he had the chance to meet Lord Baylor, but it has been several days, and he still can't even see him?" Chuntao sighed while wiping the table.

Luliu looked up at Chuntao silently. Chuntao is 14 years old this year, just at the age when she is about to bloom. Looking at her current appearance, one can imagine that in the future, she must have a pair of shoulders and waist. Beauty, it's no wonder she has such thoughts.

"Don't you believe it, how many people here are looking forward to the opportunity to fly to the branches. What our daughter's family is looking for is a good home. If we can enter the palace, who would be willing to be a slave?" She is not ambitious, so she smiled again.

"Sister Chuntao has such an ambition, it's a good thing. If something happens, don't forget to take care of her." Lu Liu smiled faintly.

"That's a must, otherwise, looking at your dumbfounded appearance, I'm afraid you'll be kicked out of the house before you're old, hey! You'd better do things carefully." Chuntao smiled and agreed without pretense .

Lu Liu smiled, and lowered her head to inspect the little master's clothes carefully. Aunt Lu Zhu taught her how to look at them, and the two of them talked for a long time that day.

"Brother's clothes are often changed and washed. He is now at an active age. He must change several clothes a day. Luliu, you'd better take a closer look at the clothes they brought back. Those clothes that haven’t been washed clean or got something that shouldn’t be there must not be worn by big brother.” Green Bamboo carefully pointed out a few places, and taught Green Willow how to see if the clothes have been tampered with.

"I know, but these clothes, there are many places where the threads are not taken in, won't big brother feel uncomfortable?" Lu Liu looked at Lu Zhu's movements, suddenly pointed to a certain place in doubt, and asked.

"Hey? Really! This... These are not big brother's clothes. Every piece of big brother's clothes, Fujin has repeatedly instructed not to leave threads outside." Luzhu picked up the things that Luliu said in surprise clothes, and hurried out.

After a while, Luzhu came back again, the dress was no longer in her hands, but there was a small purse, which she stuffed to Luliu as soon as she entered the door, and said: "I've returned the matter to Fujin, and she still praised you Sharp eyes and careful attention, this is a reward from Fujin."

"Really?! Thank you, Aunt Luzhu." Luliu touched her purse in surprise. She thought it would be difficult to get the reward from the master, but she didn't expect to get a reward just because she discovered such a trivial matter.

The author has something to say: two tips:

1. Because of the reason of [-]+[-]=[-], the servility of the heroine in the article is quite strong...

2. As soon as a certain Rou typed the word '哔', he felt uncomfortable all over~~ So whenever the word must be used, it must be replaced by 'Yes', children's shoes, please replace it by yourself.

PS: This chapter has been revised seven or eight times before and after, but I just can’t find the feeling I want, so let’s make do with it anyway, it’s a transitional chapter anyway.
