Xiaojuan called Mouchen, but no one paid attention to her, she turned her head and saw that Mouchen was in a daze.

"Hey?" Xiaojuan walked up and bumped Mochen with her elbow, and Mochen's soul returned to its place.

"Oh... sister! This girl said that she wants to be a maid!" Mou Chen raised her voice.

Xiaojuan stared at Mochen, disgusted that she was always in a hurry.Mouchen received Xiaojuan's disdainful gaze, and his interest also diminished, and he bowed his head and said nothing.Xiaojuan walked up to Mouchen and looked at the girl who was applying for the job—she was really pretty, with an oval face, big eyes, smooth and translucent skin, she looked like someone's young lady.However, Xiaojuan still has eyesight. From the fabric of the clothes the other party is wearing, it can be seen that this person really intends to find a job.

"How old are you this year?" Xiaojuan asked.

"eighteen."

"What is your name?"

"Chun'er."

"Chun'er..." No matter how she looked at it, Xiaojuan felt that this girl had a kind face, but she also felt that if she really met such a beautiful girl, she would not forget it.Probably because she was careless, Xiaojuan asked Chun'er about her life experience. Chun'er said that she was a countryman outside Lanzhou City. She was abandoned by her biological parents when she was a child. A poor couple picked her up and raised her.A few days ago, her father passed away and her mother was seriously ill. Now she is the only one who comes out to find a job with a good family and earn money to go back to treat her mother.

"Can you really work? You have thin arms and legs." Xiaojuan asked.

"Yes, I will do all the work at home, cooking, chopping firewood, and washing clothes." Chun'er said.

Xiaojuan pulled her to her side, originally wanting to see if there was anything wrong with her, but after taking these two steps, she really found out that Chun'er had a broken leg.

Seeing Xiaojuan's strange expression, Chun'er said: "Chun'er has been disabled since her calf, probably because of this she was abandoned."

When Mochen heard about Chun'er's life experience, tears welled up in her eyes - she didn't expect there to be someone worse than her.

"Sister, I think Chun'er is pretty good. Although her legs are a bit sluggish, it's enough to do a good job..." Mochen pulled her clothes behind Xiaojuan, "And I haven't been recruited all day long. A servant girl, seeing that Lord Yushi is coming to the house, if she doesn't take good care of her, she won't be able to explain to the old lady..."

Xiaojuan thought about it, yes, the current situation of the Song Mansion is not optimistic even if they stay in Guanyuchi for a few more days, if they can't recruit a maid, they will die when Lord Yushi arrives.

"Then you can follow me to the Song Mansion for a trial for a few days." Xiaojuan said.

Although Song Mansion hadn't passed the mourning month, the mansion couldn't ignore the visit of First Grade Yushi Young Master.Not only the Song Mansion, but the entire Lanzhou City had to be redecorated, and the common people stood on both sides of the street to welcome them.

Chun'er came to the Song Mansion, was brought in by Xiaojuan through the back door, and walked all the way to the "Xiaohanzhai" where the servants lived.

Chun'er remembered that she was exhausted after walking around the Song Mansion for half a circle that night, and she was even more surprised when she entered the Song Mansion - the Song Mansion was even bigger than she imagined.

The entire Song Mansion is a private garden. When Xiaojuan brought her into the mansion, she said that this Song Mansion was built in the generation of Master Song's father. Tile has its meaning.

Mouchen heard Xiaojuan talk about the Song Mansion, and also chimed in, boasting that the Song Mansion was like heaven and earth.I thought Chun'er would be dazzled by this magnificent and exquisite garden, but Chun'er's expression was calm.

"Chun'er, don't you think the Song Mansion is very grand?" Mouchen asked her curiously while holding Chun'er's arm.

"Well, it's really stylish."

Seeing that Chun'er's response was very flat, Mochen sighed: "Chun'er, you are such a silly child, why are you dumbfounded? There are many people in the Song family, whether it is us servants or famous nobles who come and go here, every day You have to meet a lot of people of all kinds. Don’t worry if my sister didn’t remind you, but you have to be smart when you meet someone, you know? Don’t be so dull, or you will have trouble waiting for you.”

Chun'er laughed when he heard what Mochen said, and nodded his thanks.

Xiaojuan, who was walking in front, said with a smile: "Don't listen to Muchen's alarmist talk here. Most people in the Song family are well-educated and reasonable. Even the master, wife and eldest lady are pure and kind people with no pretensions. Chun'er, you can rest assured Working here, Mrs. Madam will definitely not treat you badly."

Mouchen heard her words and wanted to refute, but was silenced after being stared at by Xiaojuan.

Chun'er's mind seemed to never be on their topic, she only looked at the plants and trees here, as if there was a familiar aura above these plants and trees, and there were lovely shadows in every corner.

Mouchen was pulled to her side by Xiaojuan and whispered a lesson, depressed in her heart, she turned her head to look at Chun'er.

Chun'er was stepping on the wooden bridge at this time, with clear flowing water beneath her.She was facing the sunset, and the afterglow shrouded her face, making her smile softer and warmer.Mouchen's thoughts were lost for a moment, his eyes were only fixed on Chun'er's face and he couldn't move away.

"Hey, it's a pity..." Mouchen sighed.

"What strange things are you thinking about?" Xiaojuan could only sigh frequently at this child who could never think like a normal person.

Xiaohanzhai, the name sounds a bit chilly, but the Song Mansion will not do dishonorable things.Although Xiaohanzhai is a place for servants to live in, it is also brightly built, but it snows a lot in winter, because the flat structure of the roof will have snow accumulation, and it is beautiful from a distance but full of chills, hence the name.Speaking of which, Xiaohanzhai can be regarded as one of the most beautiful scenery in the Song Mansion.

The structure of Xiaohanzhai is like a courtyard. The courtyard is spacious and has a deep well, which can be used for washing clothes and fetching water for cooking.Xiaojuan arranged for Chun'er to live in the innermost part of Xiaohanzhai for the time being.

Mouchen said that the room was too cold, so she helped Chun'er carry a few quilts and spread them on the bed.

Chun'er said that the weather is getting warmer, so there is no need to make such a thick floor.Mouchen said it was okay, she was afraid that the bed would be hard.

"Are you afraid?" Chun'er felt that something was wrong after hearing the situation.

"Yes, I will come here often to accompany you, you won't feel lonely."

"...So, thank you." Seeing that Mochen didn't seem to be talking casually, Chun'er had an innocent face, and didn't know how to deal with her.

Xiaojuan said that tonight, she would teach Chun'er some basic etiquette in the Song Mansion, and she would take her to see the eldest lady tomorrow.

Chun'er asked where Mr. Song and Mrs. Song were?Xiaojuan said that the master and his wife went to Biannan City three days ago, and you don't need to be in a hurry to see the master and his wife, just show your face in front of the eldest lady first.

Speaking of Miss, Xiaojuan seemed to hesitate to speak, and Chun'er didn't ask her, no matter what she said, she just nodded.

Xiaojuan said that the servants of the Song Mansion can't walk outside the mansion, they can only walk from the inside, don't go wrong, otherwise they will be punished if they are seen by the people above.There are several restricted areas in the Song Mansion, and the servants are not allowed to go there casually.You can't go to the master and wife's room in the south, you can only go there when they are arranged to be cleaned; you can't go to the back garden, only the personal maid of the eldest lady can enter; the most important thing is that you can't go to the west, together with the private pond on the west I can't go there either, if I want to get water, I can only get it from the well in Xiaohanzhai.

Chun'er wrote down one by one, Xiaojuan asked her to repeat and she repeated them all.

"I'm tired today, go to bed early, I have work to do tomorrow morning." Xiaojuan said.

"it is good."

Xiaojuan left, and Chun'er closed the door. When it was late at night, and there was no movement outside the house, Chun'er got up again and headed west.

Chun Shui had a strong premonition that among the three taboo places, the west had the most aura of Song Manzhen.She didn't expect to find out tonight, but at least she had to get familiar with the topography of the Song Mansion.She didn't want to stay in the Song Mansion for a long time, nor did she want to be able to stay with Song Manzhen for a long time, she just wanted to see her, even if only for one glance!

The Song Mansion at night is very cold, the mountains, rivers, water, flowers, plants and plants in the huge garden are more like a blindfold made by ghosts, trying to make Chunshui lose its way.The moonlight made the Song Mansion gloomy like hell, white lanterns were always flickering in front of the eyes, and there always seemed to be sounds behind.

Chunshui couldn't walk for too long, today was a busy day, and at this moment, he had already measured more than half of Song's mansion with his legs, and his knees gradually couldn't bear her body, and they began to ache.But she didn't stop and continued to go west.

Chunshui went farther and farther, but was trapped in a peach blossom.

This season is when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. The fragrance of this peach blossom forest is refreshing, and some female laughter comes from the depths from time to time.This laughter is faintly visible, and it has the ability to tease people's hearts and lungs.Chun Shui was not happy to hear this voice, but this ghostly sound was her purpose for coming to this deep house, and she could only move forward.

Pushing aside the clumps of flowering branches, Chunshui realized that she seemed to have strayed into the back garden. Just as she was about to turn back, suddenly, her eyes accustomed to the darkness were fascinated by the light ahead.Chun Shui struggled to open his eyes, and waited until his eyesight returned to normal, only to find that the back garden was full of women, which was the source of the laughter just now.

Confused, Chun Shui hid behind the dense peach trees, looked forward, and saw under the two dense camphor trees in the middle of the garden, Song Manjun, the eldest daughter of the Song family, was sitting on a swing, holding a A half-naked woman, her hand was stroking the woman's smooth back.

"Miss, but also..." The woman shamelessly slipped her blood-red satin dress to the ground, hung it around Song Manjun's neck, and breathed in her ear.

Song Manjun narrowed his eyes, and the smile on the corners of his mouth was even wider. He put his hand between the woman's legs and moved lightly.The sound of groaning overflowed from the woman's mouth, and the other women who were carrying drinks and food around her sighed, showing jealousy.

"Don't worry, I'll pamper you one by one later." Song Manjun said with a smile.
