[Qing Chuan] Have a meal in the harem

Two days after Qingmei left, Yimin has been honestly praying for blessings in the Buddhist hall.

But not for the sake of Ama, but for raising her and teaching her sister-in-law!

Just the night before the palace came to pick her up, my sister-in-law came to her and gave her a box of gold leaves and two silver notes, a total of 1 taels.

When the sedan chair picked her up, the whole family came to see her off. Before the curtain was lowered, Yimin saw sister-in-law's red eyes and Ama's complicated face.

The sedan chair stopped at the gate of the palace, and Yimin was carrying the bundle, and was led to the palace where she lived by a serious old woman.

Yi Min unskillfully stuffed a purse for her.

After that, the old mama still had no expression on her face, but her pace slowed down a bit, and occasionally she would introduce in a low voice who lived in the palace.

Yi Min carefully wrote it down.

On the way, she also saw a few girls she met during the draft, among them was the famous concubine Yi Guo Luoluo Lanjin in the future.But at this time, the future Yifei Empress is just a nervous little girl.

"Little master." The serious tone interrupted Yimin's emotion.

"In front is Yongshou Palace. The young master lives in the back hall, and the house has been tidied up in advance."

Yimin was taken aback, and quickly thanked the old mother.

"Don't dare, the old slave sent the young master here. Now there are only the young master and concubine Su Shu in this Yongshou Palace. The young master will be guided when he enters the door, and the old slave will leave first."

"Mommy walk slowly."

Yimin looked at the figure of the old nanny leaving with some helplessness, insisting on saying, in fact, the three generations are stacked together, Yimin is not too old, let alone experienced anything, usually can't see it, but when something happens , it is easy to panic.

Fortunately, I have been making mental preparations for the past few days, so I quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, quickly adjusted my expression, and walked into the gate of Yongshou Palace with my luggage.

Qingmei had been waiting at the gate of the hall early in the morning, when she saw Yi Min, she immediately went up to meet her and took the burden from her hand.

"The young master is finally here. The slaves have been counting the time with their fingers for the past two days, so they are looking forward to seeing the young master soon!" Qingmei said happily.

Seeing Qingmei, Yi Min breathed a sigh of relief at first, she didn't know that she still had social fear, even her heartbeat was abnormal just now.

Standing aside, the eunuch Xiao Linzi silently looked at the two master and servant, and scrutinized the master who was going to serve him in the future.

Undoubtedly good-looking, Xiao Linzi doesn't know a few words, and can't find adjectives. In his opinion, this Dong Xiaozhu is at least ranked in the top five in this palace just because of his appearance. At first glance, he doesn't look like a difficult person Master, let go of half of this hanging heart first.

That bag of silver is not in vain!

The life of the little eunuch in the palace is worthless, and the maids still have a chance to leave the palace. The eunuch has really been suppressed in this palace all his life. If he follows the right master, he will naturally feel proud, but if he follows the wrong master, it will be difficult to get up again. .

So when the two of Yimin had finished talking, Xiao Linzi showed a pleasing smile and leaned forward, "Slave Xiao Linzi, please greet the young master!"

"My lord, it's very windy here. Miss Qingmei has already cleaned up the house. Why don't you go and have a look first. If you are not satisfied with it, you can clean it up again, so as not to miss lunch."

It was only then that Yimin noticed Xiao Linzi, she avoided his courtesy first, and then took a closer look, her appearance was ordinary, her clothes were also ordinary, she looked younger than Qingmei, and her demeanor was calm, since she came to welcome her with Qingmei, then It should be the chief eunuch in her room.

Thinking of this, Yimin gave him a friendly smile, and said kindly: "Alright, let's lead the way."

Xiao Linzi was taken aback by her smile, thinking that this little master has such a good temper!

Yongshou Palace was originally the place where Concubine Jing lived after the abolition of Emperor Shunzhi. Most of the concubines in the harem felt a bit unlucky, but Yi Min thought it was good.

The place is spacious and there are few right and wrong people.

The room allocated to Yimin was the back hall of Yongshou Palace. She was only entitled to be a concubine, but she was not a concubine, so she was not eligible to live in the main hall.

However, the apse is not small, and I don't know what happened to the neighbor Concubine Su Shu, but there are three big rooms and half a warehouse on Yimin's side.

The room on the right was separated by a wall, and it was the residence of the court ladies and eunuchs.

On the left is the study room and the living room. The inside and the outside are separated by a screen. The inside room has a large bookshelf, but there are not many books. Instead, there is a row of heated kangs by the window, with a square kang table on it. .

The most conspicuous thing in the outside room is a round table of huanghuali, carved with lotus patterns and four matching embroidered piers, two landscape paintings on the wall, a few armchairs on both sides, and a set of white porcelain on the table. The tea set is a bit empty.

The middle room is Yimin's bedroom, which is also separated by bead curtains and screens.

Inside is a huanghuali babu bed and a dressing table, a wardrobe and some small furniture. The bed has been covered with quilts, and the dressing table is already full of bottles and cans.

Blankets were spread on the floor in the outer room, and there was a chaise longue, a round table, and two multi-treasure shelves, where large and small ornaments were placed in an orderly manner, and the matching was pleasing to the eye.

While Yimin looked at her, Qingmei had already packed her clothes and jewelry, and Xiaolinzi also led the eunuchs and maids to pay her respects.

Concubine Concubine has two maids-in-waiting, one eunuch, and two maids-in-waiting, Qingmei naturally occupies one of the maid-in-waiting places, and Xiao Linzi is the eunuch.

Yimin's eyes fell on the remaining three people.

"Let me introduce myself, what's your name, how old are you, and what do you do?"

The two little maids looked at each other, but the delicate maid standing at the front with a small comb on her hair and a blue velvet flower was not stage-frightened, and replied respectfully: "Returning to the young master, the maidservant's name is Luliu. She is 16 years old and will Comb a dozen hair accessories."

Yimin's heart moved, and she admired her calmness and self-confidence. In terms of this alone, at the same age, neither she nor Qingmei was as good as her.

Someone took the lead, and the remaining two little maids became more at ease, and they all replied:

"The servant girl's name is Xiaotao, she is 15 years old, and she is in charge of cleaning the yard."

"My maidservant's name is Xing'er, and she is responsible for fetching water and cleaning the house."

Xiao Linzi also said beside him: "Slave Xiao Linzi, 17 years old, running errands and picking up meals on weekdays is the job of a slave."

Qingmei smiled slightly: "The servant girl usually takes care of the storeroom for the young master and matches her clothes."

Yi Min had an idea in her mind, she made a gesture with her eyes, Qingmei went into the room, and came back holding a tray in a moment, on which were five purses, each with two small silver coins inside.

Yimin looked at the crowd quietly, until everyone who was watching lowered their heads, and then recited the lines in a low voice:

"It's the first time we've met each other, and I don't know what your temperament and ability are, so I don't make any changes, and each of you can lead the original errands. But I think that we will spend a long time together in the future, and there is only one point for me. If anyone has a better place to go in the future, just say one word, and I won't stop him, but if I have some intentions, no matter what happens in the future, I still have the ability to deal with a few people!"

"Slave/servant, don't dare." Everyone knelt down in unison.

Yi Min turned her gaze around, and smiled softly: "Why are you so nervous? I'm just saying something ugly. I just entered the palace, and I still need you for many things. Naturally, I don't want any mistakes."

No one spoke.

Yimin laughed again and said: "Okay, I'm a little tired, so I'll go to rest first, and each of you go to Qingmei's place to receive a reward, so let's separate!"

It was not until Yimin left for a long time that everyone got up to get their purses.

Among the newcomers, Xiao Linzi, who had the most contact with Yimin, was speechless secretly. He looked gentle and gentle at first, but he didn't think he was quite machismo, and he became more and more happy in his heart. The master is more powerful, so the people below can get the honor!

……

Yi Min was really tired, mentally exhausted, but instead of resting, she went to see Qing Mei's packed luggage.

He brought three sets of coats and underwear, which looked empty in the closet.The jewelry boxes were placed on the dressing table. They were all exquisite and small. There were more than ten pieces, which were enough for short-term use.

The rouge, face cream, and face powder on the dressing table are all top-quality.

Yimin nodded slightly.

The box containing the banknotes was put by Yimin herself. It was in the small drawer of the Babu bed. After thinking about it, Yimin took it out and took out five 5000 taels of silver tickets and put them in the interlayer of the jewelry box. .

Although the possibility of thieves is very small, the ancestors said that eggs cannot be put in one basket.

Caution is the boat.

A box of gold leaves given by her sister-in-law, Yimin was reluctant to spend it, so she locked it in the small compartment on the bed closest to the wall, drew four more 100 taels of silver tickets, and put the box back in the drawer.

After going out, I first handed Xiaolinzi 200 taels of silver bills, and asked him to go to the bank to exchange for some silver coins, and then gave Luliu 200 taels of silver bills, and asked her to go to the satin warehouse to choose a few pieces of cloth and send them to the needlework bureau. Make some clothes and shoes.

Yimin reminded: "Remember, go back quickly! Don't argue with others."

Thinking about the newcomer, some people will bully you if you don't have enough security, so you add another sentence: "It's okay to give some money."

……

Xiao Linzi came back soon, with dozens of silver ingots wrapped in cloth bags, five taels each.

You know, Yimin's silver nudes are all one or two, delicate and small.

She looked at Xiao Linzi in disbelief: Are the prices in your palace so high?Silver ingots are used for rewards?

Then her annual salary of 200 taels is not as high as some court ladies and eunuchs!This concubine is too rude.

Xiaolinzi successfully received the message from Yimin's eyes.

He smiled wryly and said: "When the servant went, Concubine Guo Luoluo's people had just left, and half a box of silver nudes was exchanged. A while ago, Concubine Ma Jiashu found out that she was pregnant, and Zhong Cui Palace rewarded them, and exchanged a lot. The steward said that one tael of silver can only be finished tomorrow.”

"The slave thought that the young master would go to see the empress tomorrow morning, so the young master would be useful tomorrow, so he changed the silver ingot on his own initiative, thinking that he could use the scissors to get through tomorrow."

He knelt down again and pleaded guilty, "The slave is not doing well, please punish the master."

Yimin gets a headache when she sees people kneeling down.

"Get up! What am I punishing you for? It's not your fault, it's because I reacted a little slower."

She picked up the purse and said to Xiao Linzi: "You can find Xiao Tao Xing'er to cut up the silver together. If there are more people, you can move faster. After you cut it, you can take two taels of silver and go to the dining room to get your lunch back early. go."

Yimin didn't have the nerve to say directly that she has a big appetite, and said euphemistically, "Take more!"

Xiao Linzi didn't know if he understood or not, but he agreed resoundingly.

Yimin pressed her forehead, thinking that the silver nude in the palace was also freshly punched.

At the same time, he exclaimed: "Is Guo Luoluo Lanjin so rich? I didn't see it before!"
