Chapter 1436 Famine and Natural Disaster 594
"Master, may the servants come in?"

Madam Zhao and Madam Rong estimated the time, walked to the door and knocked gently to ask.

Mingyi gathered her clothes together. Fortunately, it was summer now, so she wouldn't feel cold wearing them. "Come in."

"Yes."

Two men pushed the door open and headed straight towards Mingyi; one of them waited on her until she left the house, while the other stayed in the bathroom to clean up the mess.

Wedding dresses should be properly washed and stored.

Return to the new house.

Chunmei came back with a group of maids, carrying several dishes of hot food.

"Master, have you finished washing?" Chunmei smiled happily and asked, "Master, I'll serve you your favorite soups and dishes. Today is a big day, so the food we sent is a bit limited. Do you want to eat it now or wait?"

"Now, Chunmei, let Aunt Rong help me stir my hair."

Mingyi sat down directly at the dining table.

The maids served the food respectfully and carefully.

Chunmei brought the soup in her hand to her, and Rong Mama brought a coat and put it on her shoulders, "Master, it's cold at night, please put it on."

"Yeah." Mingyi didn't comment.

Following Rong Mama, everyone took a new towel, untied the master's bunted black hair, and spread it out behind her; the coat blocked the moisture from the hair, and the clothes underneath did not get wet.

"Master, you use it, and the servants will wipe it for you."

Mingyi nodded slightly and let them do what they wanted; she picked up her chopsticks and started eating slowly. There was also a bowl of noodles on the table as the main course for tonight.

However, it is not a strong-tasting noodle, and is similar to plain noodles; it is made with chicken soup, poached eggs, vegetables and noodles. It has a light salty and fresh taste, and there are no unnecessary ingredients.

Looking at other foods, although they were her favorites, they were all light; just as Chunmei said, light ones were fine.

With her stomach full, she felt energetic again; her hair was now dry, and the night was gradually darkening.

"You guys go eat something too." She stood up and stretched her limbs. "You've been busy all day and haven't eaten anything. Now is a good time to eat first. The maids serving in the yard, go too."

"Master, the servants have left. No one is here to serve you."

"It doesn't matter. I'm in the new house and can't go out." After she said that, she walked nonchalantly past the screen and into the inner room.

Chunmei looked at the two maids and didn't dare to act rudely.

She did want to go, as she was indeed hungry; but what the two maids said was right, as soon as they left, there would be no one to serve the master.

"Let's go." Madam Zhao looked at the dim new room, smiled, and called Madam Rong, Chunmei and others to go together. Before leaving, she took away the remaining pieces of the game on the table, "Listen to the master."

Chunmei's eyes were filled with joy, and she followed the two maids out of the Summer Palace.

She was the only one left in the yard, and the bustle in the front yard could only be faintly heard in the back yard, but it was not very obvious.

Mingyi took out the booklet that her mother had stuffed into her the night before her wedding from her dowry box, walked to the bed and sat down, feeling nauseated.

"." The curse on the tip of his tongue never came out. The bed of the newlyweds will be covered with red dates, longans, peanuts, lotus seeds and other dried fruits, which represent good meanings such as early birth of a son, wealth and prosperity, and a happy reunion.

He tucked the booklet into his waist, climbed onto the bed, and pulled at the quilt to shake himself.

"Crash, boom, boom."

The dried fruits rolled off the bed, making a dull sound on the footstool.

After shaking herself off, she sat cross-legged on the soft bedding, opened a book, and swayed sideways with her legs crossed, looking attentively.

Not to mention, the ancients' fire-avoiding diagram is truly unique.

Don't say that other people's paintings are not clear, that's just a hazy beauty; the steps and everything are clearly stated, there are words next to the booklet to describe the feelings, it's absolutely amazing!

The text is in classical Chinese, which is a bit tongue-twisting.

As for what I wrote, I’m embarrassed to say it because I’m afraid it will be blocked if I reveal it.

She watched with great joy. When Madam Zhao and the others came back from dinner, the yard was quiet. They brought hot water into the house. She glanced around and didn't see anyone in the flower hall or the small guest room, so she walked around the screen and saw Mingyi lying on her side, crossing her legs happily.

Madam Zhao quickly stopped the maids except Chunmei and Madam Rong from coming in, and she stood in front of the screen and said.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Master, I've brought you some hot water. Do you want to wash up?"

Mingyi was reading with great interest. The description was so detailed. Although she had been through many battles, it was rare for her to find an excuse to read this kind of booklet. Moreover, it was a legitimate and reasonable excuse. She was a little unhappy to be interrupted. After all, she didn't rinse her mouth after dinner, so she felt a little uncomfortable. She could only put down the booklet, climb out of bed and wash up.

After washing, he handed the basin to the maids and sent the people out.

Madam Zhao whispered to Mingyi, "Master, please be careful. Crossing your legs is unsightly."

"It's all right in my own room."

"The maids are watching. You are the master, so they can't say anything. However, it does undermine your dignity."

Mingyi raised her eyebrows and glanced at Zhao Ma, "If they can't adapt, then they can go work somewhere else. It's just a small matter, but if you can't be at ease in your own yard, what's the point of being a human being? Aren't you tired of being a human every day? Your own yard is for relaxation, you can do whatever you want."

"You're right." Nanny Zhao nodded solemnly and stopped persuading her.

Rong Mama accepted this well and only said to Zhao Mama: "They dare not gossip outside. If they dare to gossip, their tongues will be twisted."

Can the master's tongue be chewed? If he is tired of living and wants to die, he deserves it and is not worth pitying.

"That's the truth." Nanny Zhao changed her mind and only wanted to strictly discipline the maids and servants in the yard; not a single word of the masters' affairs were allowed to be revealed, and they should do their jobs well and behave themselves.

"That's right." Mingyi was satisfied, and returned to the bed to sit cross-legged, saying to the three people: "You should relax a little too. If you follow a master, you have to adapt to the master. They understand better than anyone that only servants can adapt to the master's rhythm, and how can a master accommodate the servants?"

Madam Zhao and Madam Rong nodded repeatedly, that was the truth.

Chunmei said with a smile: "Master, you are right. I feel the same way. Master, if you can't be more casual in your own home, is it still your home? Aunt Zhao is too concerned. It's all for the good of the master, but she used the wrong method."

"You see things clearly." Mingyi chuckled and nodded at her twice. "It's good that Madam Zhao can change her mind. They are paid monthly wages and have signed a slave contract. They have to adapt to any bad behavior of their master. The palace is not a place without rules. Anyone who dares to gossip will suffer a bad end."

Madam Zhao and Madam Rong nodded repeatedly, but Madam Rong still said, "Master, you are right. The rules of the palace have been very strict in recent years. Eight years ago, the rules of the palace were also good, but because there were too many concubines and illegitimate children, the princess, although the mistress, could not be too willful. We have seen too much when serving the princess, so we are not afraid of being caught. On the contrary, we have never thought that the palace is not the same as before."

Those illegitimate children and concubines no longer have any status; even concubines have no place to stand and can only live quietly in their small courtyards.
