After many days of hard training, during which several people were eliminated, Xiaohua and the others were officially qualified to become Xiaogong people and stepped out of the training department.
The servants of King Jing's mansion are not called maids, but palace servants. There are big palace people and small palace people and stewards. The big palace people are like little maids and second-class maids. The big palace people are like big maids, and the steward aunts are the steward mothers. This is not called steward mothers. , but called Auntie.
This group of Xiaogong people were taken to a place called Sasao and settled down.
It is worth mentioning that the four people who were in the same room as the Disciplinary Director came to the Sweeping Office and also lived in the same room. This has to be said to be a kind of fate.
After staying at Sasao for a few days, only Xiaohua, a group of new small palaces, knew how majestic and expansive the King Jing's mansion was.
King Jing's mansion is very big, how big is it, at least the group of small palace people who are currently working in the sweeping office can't see the whole picture.
Especially the Xiaogong people in the sweeping place have no freedom at all. On weekdays, when they go out to sweep and sweep, they are all led and watched by the Ogiya people. When they are not on duty, they can only stay in the houses of the people in the small palace of the sweeping place. At other times, they are not allowed to go out of the sweeping place.
Every day before dawn, I would go out to clean the courtyards and alleys after breakfast, and come back around noon. If I had work in the afternoon, I would be taken out to work. rule.
But this didn't stop the inquiries of some small palace people with a positive nature. After going to their respective summaries, everyone could be considered to have some understanding of King Jing's overall structure.
The size and layout of King Jing’s mansion is similar to that of the imperial palace, and it regulates the son of the emperor. The center of the mansion is a mansion with city gates and walls on all sides, and a moat outside is fifteen feet wide. A mansion of this size can already be called a royal city, but in order to avoid it, it is generally called a mansion.
The main gate of King Jing's Mansion is Duanli Gate, the east gate is Tiren Gate, the west gate is Zunyi Gate, and the north gate is Guangzhi Gate. There is Chengyun Gate in the Duanli Gate, and there are three halls in front of Chengyun Hall, Yuan Hall and Cunxin Hall, which is where King Jing worked. After the Hall is King Jing's bedroom, Jingtai Hall. In addition to the Middle Road Palace, there are also three east and west courtyards, book halls, retreat halls, as well as Dianshan, Dianbao, Chengfengsi, six bureaus, and internal envoy rest rooms in the Wangcheng, occupying an extremely large area.
The front and back of King Jing’s mansion are bounded by the lane behind the Cunxin Hall. The front yard is where King Jing handles the affairs of the palace, and the back yard is where King Jing and his wives and concubines live.
Xiaohua's class of Xiaogong people today's job is to clean the West Third Courtyard.
It is said that it is a courtyard, but it is actually many times higher than the courtyard. At least Xiaohua sees that there is no such high-level building in Jinyang Hou's mansion. Today Xiaohua and the others have cleaned the second place. You are not allowed to enter the house, you can only clean outside.
The West Third Courtyard is one of the residences of King Jing’s wife and concubines, but King Jing’s mansion is too large, so there are people living in the East Third Courtyard for the time being, while the West Third Courtyard is vacant. Because no one lives there, people will be sent to clean the courtyards and alleys with fallen leaves every once in a while.
Xiaohua silently sweeps the floor with a big broom, while Xi'er, who has a lively nature, sweeps for a while, then runs to talk to a few other Xiaogong people, look around, and then comes to sweep again.
"Xiaohua Xiaohua, look how beautiful it is. I took a look at it from the window just now. It's really luxurious." Xi'er grabbed Xiaohua's arm and pointed at the building in the middle of the yard excitedly.
"Rare and strange!" Qiaolian rolled her eyes and sneered, "What a bum! Do you know what the size of the palace is? Don't look at the yard here. In fact, the specifications are built according to the palace. Only a few masters in the palace can live in such a place. house."
They stayed together in the Department of Discipline for more than half a month, and then they were divided into another room when they arrived at the cleaning department. Several little girls of the same age go in and out together, eat, drink, and live together, and it is inevitable to show some friendship.
After Xiaohua, Xier and Xiuyun became familiar with each other, sometimes they could sit and talk together. Only that Qiaolian, because of her choking temperament, the few people in the room were not very willing to talk to Qiaolian.
However, Qiao Lian is very familiar with the other Xiao Gong people. Those Xiao Gong people are the kind of people who are good at digging into the gossip. Qiao Lian is mixed with them and knows more than others. Including some of the things Xiaohua and the others sometimes know, they all heard from Qiaolian.
Although Xi'er usually doesn't like Qiaolian very much, she still likes to listen to some gossip from Qiaolian's mouth, and this time is no exception. She smiled and leaned over to Qiaolian.
"Qiaolian, you know a lot, tell me how many masters there are in our palace."
Qiaolian gave Xi'er a sideways glance, as if she wanted to show off her 'knowledgeable and knowledgeable', she rarely spoke with respect, "Of course the master of our manor is His Highness, as well as the concubine and the concubine, and two ladies."
"Did he just live in the East Third Hospital?"
Qiaolian sneered angrily: "You are really a pig head. Your Highness must not live in the East Third Courtyard. The East Third Courtyard is for His Highness's wife and concubines, and His Highness lives in Jingtai Hall."
Xi'er snorted and said, "There are really not many wives and concubines for His Highness. There are only four in total. The rich master I served before had a lot of concubines and concubines in the house."
"His Royal Highness doesn't have many wives and concubines, it's none of your business. We are just little palace servants who sweep the place, don't think about some things that you don't have." Qiaolian snorted again, and walked away angrily with her broom.
Qiaolian is a little irritable today, and her words are particularly choking, but when is she not choking when she speaks
Xiuyun glanced at Qiaolian's back, then lowered her head again, her hands kept moving.
"What's wrong with her today? She has such a big temper?" Xiuyun asked in a low voice.
Xiuyun is a thin girl, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she has a demure taste.
Xiaohua herself has a physique that is easy to lose weight. When she was in the Jinyang residence, she was very thin and thin. However, after coming to King Jing's Mansion, although it was very hard to learn the rules, the food was good. Gradually, some meat was raised, and it returned to its previous color.
Just because she came back to life and was accustomed to hiding herself, few people noticed. Xiuyun is a girl who speaks less, and she sees more when she speaks less. She also slowly found out that this little flower who didn't grow up very well at the beginning, gradually showed some color. But she didn't take it to heart. The group of small palace people who came out to clean every day were all good looking, and a small flower was not very conspicuous in it.
"Who knows." Xiaohua also glanced at Qiaolian's back and lowered her head again.
Xi'er knew one or two of them, and Xiaozui kept saying, "I heard Zhi'er say that Qiaolian is flattering to Sister Sulan and wants to change her errand, but it doesn't seem to be going well."
Zhi’er is one of the few Xiao Gong people that Qiao Lian is familiar with. Xi’er has a lively nature and is very familiar with the group of Xiao Gong people who have entered with her. The relationship with Zhi’er is also good on weekdays.
Xiaohua and Xiuyun looked at each other, but did not speak.
During the time when they were on duty at the sweeping office, this group of newcomers to the Xiaogong also learned what royal style is. It was completely different from the environment they were in in the past, and it was indeed a palace that could be called a royal city.
At the beginning, this group of people from the small palace was full of joy when they qualified to enter King Jing's mansion.
The outside world is vast, and the outside world is magnificent.
King Jing's mansion is very big and has a lot of errands, and the sweeping errand that they thought was not bad was actually the lowest and most difficult errand in the mansion, so many people thought of changing errands.
As time passed, some Xiaogong people who were good at drilling camps would go to court some Ogiya people after they figured out the situation, hoping to help them change their jobs sooner.
It seems that Qiaolian can't sit still.
It was only recently that Xiaohua discovered that Qiaolian also had other faces.
When facing them, they rarely have a good face, either their nostrils are upturned or they are cynical, but when facing other Omiya people who are 'useful' for her or who are in charge of them, they are full of smiles and flattery. Very neat.
Xiaohua didn't know what to say about this. Human beings have a tendency to seek profit, and they are the same everywhere, and they are unavoidable. They are just a few honest little palace people who are not good at drilling camps, and they can't get to the point where Qiaolian will please.
It can be seen from the way they get along on weekdays that, like her and the honest Xiuyun, Qiaolian doesn't take much care of her. In the same room, I can talk to Xier a few words. Xiaohua can also see the reason why she talks to Xier, but it is because Xier occasionally has her own gossip, and everyone can exchange information.
So Xiaohua still believed what Xier said.
"Xiaohua, don't you want to change your errand?" Xi'er swiped a few times and asked suddenly.
Xiaohua shook her head silently, Xier asked Xiuyun again, Xiuyun and Xiaohua were acting the same.
Xi'er seemed to hate that iron was not steel: "How can you be so unsatisfactory, staying here on weekdays has no freedom at all, and it's hard work, and the control is so strict on weekdays that you are not allowed to enter and leave freely, I see Xiaogong elsewhere. People can come and go freely.”
I also know about this little flower, maybe it's because they have just entered the government to be so strict.
Of course, she also knew that Xi'er was not only so irritable because of the so-called 'freedom'. After all, these days, it's not just Qiaolian who can't sit still. Just from hearing about it, I know that there are a few Xiao Gong people who have this sign, and it seems that Xi'er can't sit still.
But it is true that the errand of sweeping is not very easy. Especially at this time in June, although the weather here in Jingzhou is not hot, but doing all the physical work, it is inevitable that you will sweat profusely and your face will be flushed from the sun. The little girls all love beauty at this age, and no one wants to be roughed by the sun all day long.
In contrast, for the same people, some Xiaogong people have easy errands, but they need to work hard, and people are psychologically unbalanced.
But these impetuous hearts do not include Xiaohua. She feels that it is good to be in the sweeping area, the work is very simple, and it has nothing to do with other places. Although the days are dull and boring, the victory lies in the absence of disputes.
King Jing's mansion has strict rules, but Xiaohua doesn't believe that there are no disputes. After all, where there are more women, there will be more right and wrong. She had been in so many places before, and the closer she got to the central area, the more strife.
As for the sweeping place, it looks like a marginal area at first glance. Xiaohua thinks it is not bad when he is out of the house on the 25th.
These days when she came to Sasou as an errand, although the errand was hard, Xiaohua felt an unprecedented peace in her heart, and even had a feeling that it would be good to stay here for a lifetime.
Of course, few people can agree with her mentality, and she won't shout it out on her own.
Seeing Xi'er jumping, Xiaohua persuaded: "It's useless for us to think about it ourselves. The aunt in charge has the right to handle the change of errands. It's useless if you are in a hurry."
Xi'er also understood this, but it was inevitable that she would be impetuous, and she was so angry that she stomped her feet and ran away. But Xiaohua knew that she would come back after a while, Xier's character has always been like this.
Sure enough, Kung Fu Xi'er came back after a while, picked up the broom and started sweeping the floor. After swiping twice, the mouth began to chatter again. Even though Xiaohua and Xiuyun didn't talk much, they kept talking.
Xiaohua and Xiuyun both smiled helplessly.
