The new maids are all arranged in the east wing. After they have learned the rules, they can be officially assigned to each master's room or other places responsible for the affairs of the house.
Their rules were taught by Grandma Wang and Grandma Li personally, and Wanyue would go over to take a look from time to time.
When Wanyue saw the name of the new maid who entered the palace, a familiar name appeared in her eyes - Zhang Jiazhuyue. This name made Wanyue a little startled. She remembered that Zhang Jiazhuyue was sent to the palace through a talent show in her previous life.
Yes, how come I was recruited into the mansion as a maid in this life?
And she remembered that it was the forty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign, because at that time only Zhang Jiazhuyue was sent to the palace, but in this life Zhang Jiazhuyue actually arrived at the palace five years in advance.
Wanyue couldn't help but be curious, and planned to go to the east wing to take a look at Zhang Jiazhuyue in person. However, when she saw the group of maids, Wanyue did not recognize Zhang Jiazhuyue. She had to ask Grandma Wang to find out where Zhang Jiazhuyue was standing in the crowd.
s position.
Wanyue walked towards Zhang Jiazhuyue, whose cheeks were a bit tender, then looked down at her and asked her quickly: "What's your name?"
"Reporting to Fujin, my slave's name is Zhang Jiazhuyue. She is thirteen years old this year." Zhang Jiazhuyue lowered his head and responded.
Grandma Wang glanced at her and reminded: "When talking to the master, you can just state your last name. You don't have to say your full name. Also, the posture of saluting is not very standard."
Zhang Jiazhuyue couldn't help but look at her saluting posture again, then slightly bent her legs, and then Grandma Wang nodded to her with satisfaction.
Everyone in the room stared at Zhang Jiazhuyue, and Wanyue's heart was full of suspicion. Zhang Jiazhuyue only gave birth to a daughter for Yinqi in her previous life, but she also died young.
She remembered that Jiazhuyue sang excellent Kunqu opera in her previous life, and Yinqi also treated her specially because she was good at Kunqu opera. She just didn't know what it would be like in this life, so she would definitely find a chance to take a good look at it.
At this time, the guard at the gate of the palace saw a strong man in gray cloth who kept looking towards the gate of the palace. He looked at him with a frown and asked coldly: "You have been standing at the gate of the palace.
What are you looking at? Don’t stand here and get in the way!”
The strong man smiled playfully, cupped his hands and replied, grinning involuntarily: "Brothers, could you please make it easier for me? I want to go in and find someone."
The guard guarding the door became happy when he heard this, and immediately taunted: "Do you think this Prince Heng's Mansion is owned by your family, and you can just go in if you want to?"
The strong man didn't seem to realize that the guards were mocking him, but when he heard the words "I'll let you in if you want to go in," he thought the guards had agreed, and he started to walk in.
Seeing that he seemed to be trying to break in, the guards immediately pulled out the swords in their hands, placed them on the strong man's neck, and said sternly: "This is the palace, and you are not allowed to make mistakes. If you are wise, please step back."
The strong man was a little confused for a moment. He was so frightened that he raised his hand to block the sharp blade, and said with confusion: "Didn't you just let me in if I wanted to? Why did you threaten me with a knife?"
One of the guards sneered and said, "You must be a fool. What we meant is that no one can enter here casually. Do you understand the rules?"
The strong man couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this, and said slowly: "Brothers, just think that I've listened to you, and you can all put away your knives."
The few people shook their heads at each other, put away their sabers, and then drove the strong man ten feet away before giving up.
However, a few people did not expect that the strong man came again the next day, but this time he was not as reckless as yesterday. Instead, he stood opposite the palace and paced back and forth, and looked at the door of the palace from time to time.
In this way, for several days, the strong man seemed to enjoy it endlessly, which made the guards at the gate of Prince Heng's palace helplessly think that this man might actually have someone he knew in the palace.
One of the guards came to see Butler Yan. Butler Yan glanced at the strong man and said that he had never seen him before, so he could only let the strong man continue to stand on the opposite side and look around.
It was such a cold day and the strong man had been here for so many days. One of the guards couldn't bear it. He walked towards the strong man's position and asked him: "What's the name of the man you are looking for? I'll go there."
Call it out for you."
The strong man couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and said softly: "Well, I don't know her name yet."
The guard shook his head and looked helpless: "Then this is not your solution. The palace cannot allow outsiders to come in and out at will. You don't know the name of the person you are looking for. I just want to help you.
No, you'd better go back in such a cold weather."
"Thank you." The strong man breathed out, but did not leave.
The guard had no choice but to walk quickly back to the door of Prince Heng's palace. Not long after he stood still, the palace's coachman drove back with the carriage. He quickly waved to the strong man opposite and pointed at the carriage.
The strong man seemed to understand what he meant, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly ran to the carriage. He glanced at the person who got out of the carriage, and he immediately determined that this should be Prince Heng.
Then he quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Prince Heng. Yinqi was startled by his kneeling and wondered where the common people came from and how they could kowtow to him so politely.
Yinqi looked up at the guards at the door uneasily, but no one came to pull the strong man.
"This strong man, what are you doing?" Yinqi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and asked.
"Back to Master Beile, I was a craftsman who worked in the palace last year. I had a crush on a girl at the time, but when I finally left, I didn't have the courage to admit it in front of everyone. As a result, she cut off contact with me. I just wanted to come.
When I meet her, I beg the prince to fulfill her wish." After the strong man finished speaking, he nodded a few times at Yinqi.
The guards at the door finally understood why he came here every day these days. The guard who waved to him just now had the courage to say to Yinqi: "Your Majesty, this man has been waiting hard for many days to come to the palace. Every day.
As soon as you arrive, you will wait at the gate of the palace for several hours, and please let them see you."
The other guards all agreed, as if if Yinqi didn't agree, he would be the one who beat the mandarin ducks.
With so many people speaking for him, Yinqi really had no reason to refuse, so he nodded and agreed.
When Butler Yan saw the strong man, he was shocked. Isn't this the man who has been sneaking around at the door? Why was he brought into the mansion by the prince?
Butler Yan had no choice but to ask out of curiosity: "My lord, why did you bring this person in?"
Yinqi ignored him, just turned around and asked the strong man, "Who is the girl you have a crush on?"
The strong man said pitifully: "It's embarrassing to say that I have been with her for half a year, but I don't know her name!"
Yinqi couldn't help but frown. He didn't even know his name. How did these two people like each other?
But because he was moved by the strong man's words just now, Yinqi had no choice but to turn around and tell Butler Yan: "Steward Yan, gather all the maids in the house to the front yard and let this strong man take a look.
Look, let’s see who he has a mutual affection for.”
Butler Yan felt baffled by what Yinqi said, but he still did it.
