Song Ya originally thought that she would be able to see Jiang Nianjiao again after she came over, but the maid directly introduced her to the steward of the inner courtyard.
"Manager Zhou, this is Miss Songya. The princess said she would keep her in the house." The maid only whispered and introduced Songya to a woman wearing silk and satin, with a fleshy body and a rich face.
The woman named Zhou Guanshi only glanced at Songya lightly, and then asked coldly, "What do you know?"
Song Ya immediately raised her head with a smile and said, "As for the manager, I can do everything, wash and cook, chop wood and feed the horses!"
Hearing Song Ya's words, Manager Zhou only said with a cold voice, "That means he doesn't know anything."
Hearing what the other party said, Songya almost choked.
Mrs. Zhou only continued, "There is a priority in learning the Tao, and there is a specialization in skills. If you know everything, it doesn't mean you don't know anything."
Hearing Mrs. Zhou's words, Song Ya felt angry but didn't say much.
Then after the maid left, Mrs. Zhou said to Songya, "Hurry up and follow me in. I will arrange a good place for you."
After hearing what Mrs. Zhou said, Songya could only follow her.
Mrs. Zhou led her to a shed. Under the shed was a pile of hay, and next to the hay was a huge stone mill. This kind of stone mill is usually pushed by donkeys, but I don't know why, here Not a single donkey.
There was not only one person in the courtyard. Seeing Songya come in, they all secretly looked at Songya at the same time.
Here comes another one!
Everyone knows that Prince Jin's Mansion is a good place to go. But what kind of place is this? Those who want to work seriously and have the ability are all assigned to do dirty work underneath.
On the contrary, those easy jobs are only controlled by the old people in this house.
Although other courtyards also have this rule, other courtyards still have to save face and not make their masters look too bad. Now that the masters have not said anything, they just assign all the dirty work to them, and sometimes they are even malicious. They deduct money from them, make them do hard work and then take credit for it. In addition, they are sometimes deliberately embarrassed.
The new girl was given a hint of power at first glance, and the embarrassment was increased.
After all, in the past, the stone mill was still pushed by a donkey. Mrs. Zhou unloaded the donkey and let others push it. It was still a girl's house.
Isn't this deliberately embarrassing or something?
Mrs. Zhou only looked at Songya up and down, and then said something to Songya.
"The work in this shed is a bit dirty and tiring, but everyone who enters our Prince Jin's Mansion has to suffer a lot. I know you were personally selected by Princess Jin, but even so, there is no exception for us. If you can't bear this hardship, we won't stop you from leaving immediately. Of course, if you can't bear this hardship, then I will naturally arrange a better place for you in the future."
The mother-in-law was really shameless in what she said this week, but after hearing that the other party was personally selected by Princess Jin, they seemed to understand why this girl was treated like hell as soon as she came in.
This week the mother-in-law is not going to deal with Princess Jin secretly.
Previously, her sister had dirty hands and feet, and was caught by the maid named Lianying who was next to Princess Jin and took away the stolen goods.
After that, Princess Jin took the initiative and kicked her sister out of Prince Jin's Mansion.
It stands to reason that the princess's behavior is considered kind. After all, in some courtyards, if such a maid is encountered, she will be severely beaten, sent to an official, or directly sold.
But it was no coincidence that the person who was directly kicked out of the palace was targeted by Paihuazi after leaving the palace that day, and he was abducted and trafficked to no one knows where.
And this also made Mrs. Zhou secretly hate Princess Jin, and she followed her in secret.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but wait to see the girl's reaction. If the girl was a little arrogant, she might not be able to bear the work of a donkey. If the girl was weak, she might not be able to push the stone mill.
A wise person should probably leave the Jin Palace directly.
However, Song Ya did not choose to leave.
She only said in a low voice, "What you said is true, but I don't know what this stone mill is grinding?"
"Of course it's for grinding grass!" Mrs. Zhou said loudly.
"Fodder?" Song Ya was a little in disbelief.
"Feed this hay directly to the horses, and the horses will eat it, so why bother?" Songya couldn't help but say.
Mrs. Zhou looked at Songya with a sneer and said, "Other horses will naturally eat hay, but can the horses in our palace eat hay directly? These are all precious breeds donated by the country in Qiangmo that is rich in precious horses. You If you feed the horse to death by doing this, your life will not be worth the life of a horse."
After hearing what Mrs. Zhou said, Songya couldn't help but say, "But what's the difference between that horse and ordinary horses? Besides, eating more hay is more beneficial to the horse and makes it more resistant to hunger."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou became angry and said, "How many horses have you raised and are you just pointing here? Is the master in the stable more ignorant than you?"
After hearing this, Song Ya still had an unconvinced look on her face. The masters in those stables probably had never raised horses, but she had raised them, especially their so-called tribute horses. She had no shortage of them. Raised.
Even before she came to the capital, there were dozens of horses in her stable.
But now I don’t know where those horses were assigned or whether they died.
Thinking of this, Song Ya's face just felt sad. But after a moment, she took this emotion into her eyes again.
Nowadays, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
What's more, her purpose is not to raise a good horse.
Thinking of this, Songya finally whispered, "That's what the steward said."
"Now that you know it and you can accept it by staying at home, then go to work quickly. Later I will find you some clothes to make it easier to work." Manager Zhou then added.
Song Ya only responded in a low voice.
After Manager Zhou left, Songya began to grind the hay into the mill.
While she was grinding the stone, a man who was also working in the yard saw her and couldn't help but come over and ask, "Girl, Princess Jin personally arranged for you to enter this yard."
Hearing this, Song Ya only nodded slightly, "Yes."
"How did you meet Princess Jin?"
"Now that you know the princess, why didn't the princess arrange for you to enter the inner courtyard?"
Once someone opens his mouth, there are eight doors to ask questions.
Na Songya didn't mind the trouble and just answered one by one, "I sold myself to bury my father. The princess saw that I was pitiful and gave me some money, but I refused to take it, so the princess recruited me into the house."
Hearing Songya's words, the others just asked, "Aren't your hands tired from grinding this?"
Song Ya shook her head, "I'm not tired. I usually do heavy work."
After hearing what Songya said, the others just laughed and said, "Girls can do so much hard work. If you say you are not tired now, you will know if you are tired when you get up tomorrow morning. I am not telling you, girl." Ah, since the princess gave you the money, why don't you use the money to find someone to marry outside, or even if you want to be a maid, why would you come to a place like this?"
"Don't look at how grand Prince Jin's Mansion looks, but if you don't have any connections, you'd better not come here. The reason for hiring new people here is simply because the old people don't work, so they hired new people like us who don't know the inside story to work here. ."..
"There are only three apparent masters in Prince Jin's Mansion. I think there are masters everywhere in Prince Jin's Mansion, and we are the only slaves!"
"That's right, girl, just listen to our advice and don't stay in this kind of place."
Song Ya did not respond to their words. She only continued, "But the princess buried my father for me. I can't forget this kindness. My father often taught me not to forget my roots as a person, let alone be ungrateful. If I am ungrateful, wouldn't I be with him?" Kingly."
Hearing Song Ya still speaking seriously and speaking some righteous words, the others just shook their heads.
Good words can't persuade a damn ghost.
When they talk to this extent, they can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous people.
Therefore, when they saw that they could not persuade the girl, they immediately started to do their own work.
Songya also grinded in this mill for the whole day. Finally, it was not until almost evening that the clothes that Mrs. Zhou mentioned were brought over by a servant girl.
At the same time, he also brought a deed of betrayal.
Song Ya first put her red fingerprint on the deed of sale, and then went to pick up the new clothes.
The new clothes were said to be new clothes, but in fact they were more like dirty clothes. The coarse cloth clothes were stained with oil and all kinds of dirt. These things have made it difficult to tell what color the clothes are, and they are still full of dirty smell.
If he hadn't actually taken over such clothes, no one would dare to believe that there were servants in the Jin Prince's Mansion wearing such dirty clothes.
Although the clothes Song Ya wore were torn and made of poor quality, at least the clothes on her body were not that dirty.
Moreover, if you wear this kind of clothes, let alone others, you are probably going to be smoked to death first.
Seeing Song Ya's troubled look, the servant woman said, "What are you looking at! Why don't you quickly change your clothes and start working?"
"If you do such heavy and tiring work, your clothes will get dirty anyway! Why wear them too cleanly!"
"What? If you don't want to change it yourself, why don't you ask me to change it for you?"
After saying this, the maid suddenly grabbed Songya's clothes. The clothes were already in great tatters, and the maid's strength was so strong. Then there was only a tearing sound, and Songya's clothes were ripped from the cuffs to the front. Only torn.
Although there are clothes outside this deep garment.
But anyone who is treated like this will probably go crazy or feel ashamed and angry.
Songya is naturally no exception. After discovering that her clothes were torn, she was so angry that she almost shaved the servant girl's ears.
She even thought about what poison she would use to torture these dead old women.
But the Jin Prince's palace was now heavily guarded, and she was afraid that someone would find out her identity before she completed her mission.
So she just stared at the servant girl fiercely.
Seeing her staring at her, the maid sneered, "What are you looking at? Why? You still want me to change it for you?"
