Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

Chapter 28 Wild boars can't eat fine chaff

Before Du Jiyan went to Huanyi Bureau, the people in Huanyi Bureau got up earlier than chickens.

After Du Jiyan left, there was one more rule in the clothing bureau: getting up earlier than a chicken and going to bed later than a dog.

At dawn, Nanny Li used a feather duster to clean up Du Jiyan.

Aunt Li said, Du Jiyan, you wild boar also wants to eat fine chaff, and you have been reduced to the Huanyi Bureau. You still want to eat well and sleep well. It's been an hour and you still haven't gotten up.

This sounded familiar.

Yes, I used to watch videos of handsome men with eight-pack abs. I thought about recommending them to my best friends, but then I thought, forget it, my best friend is a wild boar and can’t eat fine chaff, so I’d better keep it for myself and enjoy it slowly.

Breakfast was rough.

Aunt Li and other older people with more seniority had fried rolls, yellow peas, soy sauce meat, and fat duck.

The younger one, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old named Papaya, could only eat some pea yellow.

They are also served in the clothing bureau, and they have to wait for meals.

According to Du Jiyan's observation, the nuns had their mouths full of oil after eating the night before yesterday, and Papaya only ate some peanuts.

It was the time when the body was growing, and clothes had to be starched and washed every day. In the morning, they were only given a piece of pea yellow.

If the peas are yellow, then the peas will be yellow.

Du Jiyan went to get the pea yellow, but was knocked to the ground by Granny Li with chopsticks.

"The new ones are just gruel."

The gruel is really thin, with only a few grains of rice in it.

My stomach was already growling.

This is the Imperial Palace of Chen State. If you don’t know, you might think you have joined the Beggar Gang.

"After dinner, hurry up and do the laundry. There are three basins for each person today." Grandma Li left the task.

Whose washing machine can handle three basins a day?

You must know that ancient clothes were woven with gold and silver, and the materials were expensive. You must be extremely careful when washing. The strength of your hands should not be too strong or too weak. If you use too much strength, it is easy to tear the clothes. If you tear the clothes of the ladies of the palace, The ladies have to tear the clothes washers to pieces, but if they are weak, they will easily not be able to wash them clean. If they are not able to wash them clean, they will be punished.

Clothes are washed here using plant ash and soapberry.

Each person had a clothes-pounding stick, distributed clothes, and began to work.

Papaya has been serving in the clothing bureau since he was a child. He was hungry and frightened, so he grew short.

She had to stand on tiptoe in the large laundry pool.

Du Jiyan struggled to carry three pots of clothes onto the washing table. The clothes were made of fragrant cloud gauze, misty purple woven with gold embroidery, and were all very soft and gentle.

"Sister, before you wash your clothes, you have to check them first." Papaya warned in a low voice.

"Check first?"

"Check if the clothes are damaged, otherwise my sister will suffer a loss."

This is advice from a veteran employee.

Damaged clothes should be taken out in advance, otherwise it will be unclear after washing them.

Du Jiyan took out his clothes to check, not expecting that the first piece would be damaged.

There was a hole in the sleeve as big as a bowl, as if it had been burned by fire.

The fragrant cloud gauze with gold threads scattered all over it had burnt holes.

Du Jiyan recognized this piece of clothing. It belonged to Meng Yuzhu. Aunt Li wore it while drinking wine last night. Maybe it was accidentally burned at that time.

Grandma Li has already discovered it: "Why did you wash and torn my wife's clothes? How can I wear them?"

Papaya quickly knelt down and said, "Mother Li, this was not broken by Xiaozhu Du. There is a black edge at the hole. It was burned. It is none of Xiaozhu's business." "She burned it too."

Papaya quickly kowtowed: "Mother Li, I accidentally burned this. Please don't punish me."

Papaya took the blame on himself.

"Come here." Grandma Li called to the two older mothers, rewarded each with a clothes-tampering stick, and began to enforce the rules of the Clothing Bureau.

The two of them pressed Papaya on the laundry table, hit him with ten sticks from left and right, and beat him until Papaya had tears in his eyes but didn't dare to let them out.

Then, Nanny Li couldn't help but keep Du Jiyan in custody.

Aunt Li was used to doing rough work back then and was very strong. Du Jiyan was forced into the laundry sink by her and fell upside down on a green onion. She couldn't use her strength. She drank several mouthfuls of water in a row and felt dizzy. After a while, she would probably have to see her grandma. .

Nanny Li obviously knew the timing and threw Du Jiyan into the pool. Du Jiyan's whole body was like pink duckweed, floating in the pool.

Some of the nuns started laughing.

"Du Jiyan, you can't even wash your clothes well, and you even slipped and fell into the pool. If it were night, no one would know if you drowned. It has nothing to do with us."

After finally getting to dinner, Nanny Li was naturally a fat chicken and a goose, and even the nuns who fawned over her also followed suit.

When Du Jiyan went to get food, Nanny Li threw two moldy papers over.

The moldy roll was hard to swallow, but Grandma Li said: "The ladies in the cold palace can eat, but you two can't? If you don't eat, you will be hungry."

"You can eat it, you can eat it." Papaya quickly stuffed the roll into his mouth.

First of all, she knew about Grandma Li's temper. If she didn't eat this roll, she would definitely have no food at night.Secondly, if you don't take the paper, you will make Grandma Li angry. When Grandma Li gets angry, she may have to enforce the rules again.

In the small clothing bureau, among the dozens of people up and down, everyone followed her lead.

This is how the Huanyi Bureau has come over the past few years.

At night, Du Jiyan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Papaya noticed her movement and secretly pressed her wrist: "Little Master, I also hid some peanuts. You can eat some. I know you are hungry."

"The host is detected to be weak. There is food to choose from in the system space." Xiaodian's screen flashed.

Du Jiyan couldn't bear it and had no choice.

The Queen Mother threw her to the Huanyi Bureau, obviously to make her suffer. If Du Jiyan guessed correctly, it must have something to do with Ming Changzai in the cold palace. When he first came to the Huanyi Bureau, Du Jiyan wanted to be more conservative. , cheating too hard, and then scaring these old ladies from the Huanyi Bureau.I pretended to be a doormat for two days and came out to show them.

"During the day, that dress was torn, why did you have to bear it for me?" Du Jiyan asked Papaya.

"I know that the dress was not damaged by the young master. I saw it the night before. It was Grandma Li wearing the dress while drinking, and the sleeves were burnt by the candlelight. But Grandma will not admit it, she will only let it go. We are being beaten, I am used to being beaten, nothing will happen to me, and I won’t delay doing laundry. Is everything okay, little master?”

"I am fine."

"My master shouldn't throw away the papers that Grandma Li handed out. If Grandma Li finds out, she will be punished." Papaya was a little worried. There used to be disobedient slaves who thought the food in the Huanyi Bureau was not good and were punished. Grandma Li was imprisoned in a small dark room for three whole days without food or water. When she was taken out, she was already dying.

The Huanyi Bureau is far away from the Taihe Palace. In the words of Grandma Li, if it is not close to men, the yang energy will be weak and the yin energy will be strong.She sees women all the time, and she has many ways to manipulate women.

In the Palace of Taihe.

The emperor is having a meal.

The emperor's meals were naturally written on the water sign. Just like turning over the green head sign every day, whatever the emperor wanted to eat, the imperial kitchen would make it according to the water sign.

Duck stuffed with glutinous rice, steamed eight-treasure pig, pot-roasted sea cucumber, canned quail, braised sour swallow, fried crab, all the flowing dishes were served by the little eunuch.A long case was laid out.

The aroma was fragrant, and the emperor seemed to have little appetite.

Gao Rang took out a black paper from his sleeve and held it in his hand.

The emperor was stunned.

"The imperial dining room has a new dish? What dish is this?"
