? The sky is not bright yet, and I can smell the moist smell of the early morning mist in the air.
At this time it was less than May, and it shouldn’t be so cold. I don’t know if it’s because of the environmental problems where I am, or it’s too early, and the little flower wearing a jacket feels chilly.
She didn't know how Xiaohua came to this place, nor did she know where she was.I only knew that I was handed over by Qianyao to Renyazi and spent three or four days in the carriage.After arriving in a completely unfamiliar place, just after a night, he was taken away again by Ren Ya, and he was taken here with seven turns and eight turns.
It was very late when I got here yesterday, and a dozen little girls squeezed in a chase shop to rest for a night.Before it was light, I was called to stand in the yard.
She took a look at the surroundings in the dim sky. Because the sky was too dark, the visibility was only around the surroundings. No matter how far away, she couldn't see anything. Only the black wall seemed to be high. Look like.
Xiaohua guessed that they were in a large courtyard now.
The group of them had just stood in line, and another group of people was led over. It seemed that the little girls who looked like teenagers were standing with them.
After standing, the person instructing them to stand disappeared.
Because no one spoke, these little girls didn't dare to move at first, and they all stood honestly and did not dare to speak.
But as time passed, no one came over.Gradually, the crowd began to become less quiet.
Xiaohua always knows how to enter the country as it is, but she hasn't figured out the situation when she first arrived. Since no one has spoken, she stands honestly.Restraining the chill that made people tremble, she narrowed her eyes into calmness.
In my previous life, I was a maid, so I still have this idea.
Xiao Hua can be so calm, but some little girls next to them can't help standing up.Not only because of the cold early in the morning, but also because I feel a little inexplicable.
A round-faced little girl said crisply: "It's not light yet, so what the hell are we all standing in this yard?"
There was a little girl next to her, while others were silent.
Gradually, there was a discussion, some whispered to the person standing next to them, some were looking around, and someone shouted out, calling someone? The answer to her was silence.
Seeing that there was no one, the originally neat formation was messed up, and several little girls gathered in twos and threes to discuss it.
Standing next to Xiaohua, a little girl with a double bun leaned close to her slightly, and whispered: "What are you doing here? Why is there no one? Just asked us to stand and stand. ?"
Xiaohua narrowed her eyes, wondering if she should speak.I'm not familiar with it, but I still didn't speak.
What else did the little girl want to say, there was a sneer next to her.
She is a tall and beautiful little girl. She is thirteen or fourteen years old. The eye shape on Guazi's face is quite outstanding.It's just that the disdain and arrogance between her eyebrows makes her look a little uncomfortable.
"When you think that everyone else is as stupid as you, you ask Dongwenxi and make a loud noise without knowing anything, maybe someone is watching in secret."
The little girl's voice was so small that it happened to be heard by a few girls nearby. After she said, she looked away and stood with her head down.It seems that this little girl knows the rules quite well, knowing that now is not the time to escape.
The little girl with the double hair bun flushed all of a sudden, she didn't want to say anything, she had to lower her eyes aggrievedly.
The sky slowly lit up, the yard became more and more noisy, and the buzzing was all whispering.
Suddenly there was a soft cough, and the little girls standing below realized that they didn't know when a middle-aged woman who was in charge of a mother and a few servants had already stood on the steps, staring sharply at the bottom with a look. Very serious.
It quieted down all of a sudden.
The middle-aged woman in charge didn't say anything, just ordered a dozen little girls to stand up.At first, everyone was a little baffled, but later it was gradually discovered that those who were named were just a few little girls who had acted out of control and talked a lot.
Such a situation caused the little girls below to stand silently, for fear that the woman in charge would point herself out.
The appearance of picking out a dozen people, the original team of more than forty people, suddenly lost a quarter.
The woman in charge waved her hand, and a few maids who didn't know where they came from led these picked out people away. The whole process was silent.
Only then did Xiao Hua realize that the few people she met here were quite majestic, and people couldn't help but dare not speak when facing them.
Where exactly is this place?Xiao Hua began to feel a little uneasy in her heart.
This is not like any big family, the general big family will not be so serious and solemn.
Xiao Hua was thinking this way, and the woman in charge glanced down a circle and spoke.
"My surname is Qi, and I am your aunt in charge. You can call me Aunt Qi. The most important thing is to be cautious in words and deeds when working as an errand. Those just now are unqualified. I hope that the rest of you will continue to be qualified."
Aunt Qi paused, and then said: "I will teach you during this period. I hope your performance in the future will make me admire. Now everyone will have breakfast first, and you will take them with Tweet."
Next to him, a 16 or 7-year-old maid wearing a bright red short skirt and a long green dress, Qi Aunt was blessed, and took Xiao Hua and the others to the side through a small door.
I arrived in a very spacious room with a dozen tables in it, and stools under each square table.
At this time, a few little maids were dressed up, carrying a bucket of gruel and a basket of buns, and one maid began to give everyone a bowl of chopsticks.
Tweety said crisply: "These are the tableware you will use in the future. Wash them after each meal and put them away. There is a cabinet over there for you to put the tableware. This is the dining hall. Every day at Mao, noon, and each. Serve a meal."
Before the voice fell, there were a few little girls who were estimated to be hungry and couldn't stand it.The maid in charge of the meal did not move and ignored them.
Tweety glanced at those little girls, and continued: "The upper-level palace people haven't finished speaking. The following are not allowed to act without authorization. I think you are the first offender. There is no punishment this time. If you commit another crime, there will be no Eat. You have to line up when you have a meal and don’t get in a crowd."
Tweety said this for a while without making a sound. Seeing that the little girl below was standing still and not moving, she nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, let's all go and eat."
At this time, no one needs to explain, everyone will honestly line up.
Xiaohua secretly smacked her tongue, what kind of rich family is this, and the rules are so strict!
Finally, it was Xiaohua's turn to make a meal. The food was very good, the fragrant rice porridge, the fat steamed buns, and each person was given a small plate of pickles.
Seeing these, Xiao Hua actually had a feeling of tears in her eyes. She hadn't eaten such a good thing for a long, long time.Sold from the capital, they are dried noodles and pancakes with white water every day, and they are hungry for a long time.
She carefully carried her food, found a place to sit down, took a bite of the porridge and bit of the bun, and immediately felt that the happy pores were all relaxed.
Xiaohua's habit is to eat slowly after getting food, even if she is hungry again.She can't remember who taught her this behavior. She only knows that it won't hurt her stomach easily, especially when she is extremely hungry and can have a full meal.
"Sit here, let's sit together."
Hearing the voice, Xiao Hua raised her head, only to realize that it was the little girl who was secretly talking to her just now.
"My name is Xier, how about you?"
Xi'er put down her meal, and sat down next to Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua was not used to the feeling of someone coming to her suddenly, but she still spoke her own name.
Xi'er hadn't spoken yet, a familiar voice scoffed beside him, "Such a tacky name."
Xiao Hua followed the voice, and she was another familiar face, the face of Guazi who sneered at Xi'er just now.
Xi'er blushed, "You-" Gu Ji had been standing by and staring at them. She closed her mouth angrily and said when she lowered her head, "It's really annoying." The voice was very small.
Xi'er is very cute, with big eyes and a pretty nose. At this moment, her small face is flushed with anger, making people feel the urge to smile for no reason.
"Don't pay attention to her." Xiaohua whispered, and after speaking, she focused on her meal.
It can be seen that Xi'er is a little girl who likes to talk very much. It is noisy to say a little bit. She has been listening to her non-stop whispering while eating.But Xiaohua felt that she didn't reject this little girl, how to put it, just let her feel a kind of vitality.
After eating, Tweety told them where to wash their bowls, and when everything was cleaned up, she took them to a strange yard next to her.
After entering, they gave everyone a dress and asked them to take a shower and wash themselves.
The bath was washed together in a large pool, and two old women were staring at them.After washing, they checked carefully before letting them put on the clothes outside.
Xiao Hua hasn't taken a bath for more than a month. Before coming here, the toothwoman said that she was smelly and dirty, and she was afraid that people would not want it. She even gave her some water to wipe it off.But how can rubbing be compared with washing, Xiaohua feels refreshed after taking a shower.
Their old clothes have been taken away, and Xiao Hua wears new clothes that have just been sent.
The indigo short skirt and ginger yellow dress are made of muslin. Although the color does not look good, it is particularly comfortable to wear.
Xiao Hua is already very content to take off the dirty and torn clothes and change into clean and brand-new clothes, but some people are full of disgust.
"This color is so ugly." The Guazi face disgusted as he tugged at his clothes.
After everyone was washed and changed into new clothes, Tweety was led out.
At this time, the sky outside was already bright, and Tweet led them through many gates and yards before reaching their destination.Xiao Hua guessed which gate of the mansion it should be, because the courtyard was covered with yards, and there were tall blue-gray walls everywhere.
Aunt Qi was already there waiting for them, glanced at the group of little girls in front of her before she showed a satisfied smile.The smile was fleeting, and soon the face became unwavering again.This aunt Qi looks like the kind that can't be found in the crowd, but it's not ugly. If you want to describe it, it's ordinary.However, the whole body is not vulgar, and people can't help being silent just standing there.
"Since I want to teach you, the first step is to learn the rules." After that, Aunt Qi made a look to the side, and a group of little maids filed up, each holding two wooden basins.
These tubs were handed over to Xiaohua and the others.
"The first lesson of today is to raise the basin. I hope you can master this item soon."
Raise basin?
The crowd was in an uproar.
