Chapter 263
Most of the people who entered the palace had poor backgrounds or other means, and were sent to the palace. There were also some wronged people here.
Leng Xiaobai walked on the road, looking at the palace maids, eunuchs who were working, and their clothes were the most ragged. Where could a palace maid be as bright as a magnificent as a palace maid? This is probably the back of the palace.
Those people had a pale face and were thin. They could think of malnutrition at a glance. Coupled with the daily hard work, it was not easy to have a better face.
On the road, some people standing in the distance and watching bowed to Fan Xiaowu beside Leng Xiaobai. The respectful look on their faces was not completely disrespectful because they were younger than them.
"Mr. Fan, everyone here has done something. I don't think they have done anything bad."
Fan Xiaowu walked up and looked at the palace maids and eunuchs who were still working and didn't even think of looking up. He had no look at people at all.
"How can bad people see it with their eyes? No one will write those two words on their faces. Most of them violated the rules of the palace and were sent here."
Leng Xiaobai continued to walk forward and looked at those who couldn't even bear to raise their heads. This would not look good at them. Although they couldn't look at their faces, they always had to look not too exaggerated.
It cannot be too beautiful or too ugly. This is the standard in Leng Xiaobai's mind.
"Mr. Fan, it's really bad to look at them with their heads down so much. Can they all look up? They always have to choose some kind people."
Leng Xiaobai said, handing over a look you know. Fan Xiaowu is also a person who often hangs in places of all sizes. If he was not for the special status of the Shangren Mansion, he would also want to do something.
"Put the work you have in hand for a while. Lord Leng came over and chose a few people to serve you at the mansion. You are here to make a comeback, so what are the miscellaneous work there?"
Listening to the words of Lord Fan, who is the best official here, the people then looked up at Leng Xiaobai. However, they had been doing something for two hours, and their eyes were mostly exhausted.
"The people in the palace are indeed in good looks, but the fatigue on their faces seems to be less beautiful, but they lack a little bit of beauty."
"The adults are not right. These people have made mistakes in the palace and are unruly people. Even if such people are a little pretty, it is better to do more work."
Leng Xiaobai took a few more steps and came to a woman. The man looked just twenty-three or four years old. He was older and the fatigue and numbness on his face were the most people here.
Leng Xiaobai squatted in front of her, looking at the numb face, not only with pity in his eyes, but also with one hand gently caressing the haggard face. The women in the Shangren Mansion were not decorated with the female official Furong.
They don’t have the money to buy rouge and water, nor have the chance to go out here. Even if they dress up beautifully, they are just for those who beat themselves.
There are also some rules here. Most of the women here are virgins. If something goes wrong, the officials on duty and the responsible person will be beheaded.
Chastity is taken very seriously here, and even a sinner cannot be lost at will. This is done very well by those eunuchs. In order not to attract a certain female official to the eyes of a tiger and wolf, they have long lost the ability to do this.
"Your name and origin and age."
This is the only thing to consider when choosing a person here. It is also the only thing to consider. It is easy to call them up by name, and it is easy to know where they are from. The age is just a casual question.
"Liang Moqing, a native of Yangzhou, will be twenty-four years old in two days."
The woman's eyes were still not shining at all. Not only did she ask this, but she only asked in the end.
“Can you cook?”
Fan Xiaowu didn't expect a surprise question to come here to find a chef?
“Good Yangzhou cuisine and Kyoto cuisine.”
Leng Xiaobai stood up and continued walking forward. When he reached the door, he stopped, looked at Lian Moqing three times, and said.
"Would you like to come to my house to cook for me?"
It was not only the female official who said that strangeness was not only the female official, but also Fan Xiaowu, a twenty-four-year-old woman. Although she was still very young, she was always worse than those of the seventeen or eighteen. She could only take such a person back as a maid.
"I...will."
Lian Moqing's eyes were very excited, his voice was trembling, and tears of joy couldn't help but flow down, dripping into the water in front of him, splashing water.
It is naturally willing to be able to leave this place. No one wants to be in such a place for the rest of his life, and he cannot see the sun with hope. I heard that those who are here will die here before they are thirty years old.
Those people are exhausted here, and they have no way out.
Even if the sun in the sky is gorgeous, it can only be a kind of melancholy and will not become the expected target.
Leng Xiaobai was about to walk through the door when he heard a shrew cursing sound from behind him.
"Why are you crying? Don't think that after you leave here, I dare not treat you. I am just a little Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple. Could it be that he will make a fuss?"
The female official guarding this yard looked at Lian Moqing with a very happy look and felt very unhappy. She could have given her preciousness this day and brought out a lot of treasures, but her years were no longer there, and she was in her thirty years and had no qualifications.
The whip was about to hit Lian Moqing. Looking at the figure who had gone away, it was not the first time that such a thing had been experienced. Every time, I could only accept the pain of the whip with my eyes closed.
A gust of wind caught the whip, but the female official Furong's hand did not hit her. She was frightened by Leng Xiaobai who suddenly rushed over in front of her. She looked at the whip that she had caught her empty hand, and she was frightened.
"She is now mine, so you'd better be polite to her. Otherwise, not only will you lose your beautiful years, but your face covered with makeup will be very dangerous."
Leng Xiaobai said viciously that he had been bullied like this more than once, and he almost died at the hands of those people several times, so what he hated the most was such a person.
"Follow me, there are some things that still need your help. Find a piece of clothing from there and put it on first."
Lian Moqing closed his eyes and didn't see how Leng Xiaobai suddenly appeared. He just thought that his face was very ordinary and very handsome.
From the unwashed clothes beside him, I took a pretty good piece of clothing and put it on my body. I followed him, looking at the not-so-wide shoulder, I suddenly felt the urge to lean on it.
I thought to myself: Can a young minister of the Honglu Temple have such ability?
Obviously, it is not possible. Lian Mo Qing is very clear about this. Although he doesn’t leave the palace, he also knows some things outside, and it is not that simple.
