Moreover, he had just been transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he probably couldn't be bribed so quickly. After all, there were so many slaves who had just entered the palace, and no one knew where they would be assigned. Who would have the time to bribe people?
Since the father-in-law said so, I believe these people must have a clean background and it is safe to use them.
However, the specific situation will depend on what happens in the future. After all, human nature cannot remain unchanged. Maybe you are not bribed now, but you may be bribed in the future.
So it’s always a good idea to be more careful.
However, since her father-in-law reminded her like this, she had to express her feelings in some way.
Wen Mianmian took out a purse from her arms and handed it to the young eunuch.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it."
The young eunuch happily accepted it and quickly thanked him: "Your servant thanks you, Miss Wen."
This is quite a lot. I didn’t expect Wenger to be so generous.
After the young eunuch left, three servants from Zizhuyuan came over.
They all knelt down and kowtowed to Wen Mianmian.
"This servant pays his respects to the princess."
Wen Mianmian was still a little unaccustomed to this, so she quickly asked them to get up, "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Gege." The three of them stood up.
"What are your names?"
Wen Mianmian looked at them, a young eunuch and two little maids. Their faces looked very childish, so she thought they should not be very old.
"We servants don't have names, please give us some, Princess." The three of them knelt down again.
"Hey, all of you get up. There won't be so many rules here in the future." It's quite awkward to watch others kneel down to you.
When they stood up, Wen Mianmian asked curiously, "Don't you have names?"
"Once servants enter the palace, they can no longer use their previous names. If they are assigned a master, the master will give them a name." A little maid took the lead and replied.
Seeing this, Wen Mianmian didn't point at them and said: Okay, there's nothing more to say. You can't tell them that I don't mind and you can use your old name again.
After looking at them, he thought for a while and said, "Then from now on you will be called Shancha, Shannai, and Wang An."
After hearing this, the three of them were overjoyed and knelt down again to kowtow and express their gratitude.
"Thank you for the name."
If the princess gave them a name, it meant that she recognized them.
Wen Mianmian: “…”
Forget it, they are people of this era, and kowtow and bowing have long become their way of expressing gratitude.
"Everyone get up."
The three of them stood up. Shancha, the maid who had spoken at the beginning, saw that the princess was not difficult to get along with, so she bravely stepped forward and said softly, "Princess, please go into the house first. The servants have already packed up."
Wen Mianmian nodded, and the four masters and servants walked into the house together.
Wen Mianmian looked around the yard as she walked.
The yard is not big, with several illuminated lanterns hanging under the eaves. There is also a tall peach tree planted in the yard with peach blossoms in full bloom. There is also a stone table and stone chairs under the tree where you can sit and rest.
There are also pots of beautiful flowers placed against the wall, including chrysanthemums and orchids.
When she came in, she smelled the fragrance of orchids, which made her feel better.
If he remembered correctly, when he came here again, there was a medium-sized pond nearby, full of lotus flowers.
It's just that it's getting late today and I can't see clearly.
The master and his servants returned to the inner room, and Wen Mianmian gave each of them a purse as a gift.
After receiving the reward from the master, he naturally kowtowed to express his gratitude again.
Wen Mianmian hurriedly called out and helped them up one by one.
"Princess, are you hungry? How about I go to the kitchen and get dinner?"
Although it is a bit late to get dinner at this time, after all, the princess has just entered the mansion, and the wife must have given some instructions.
After hearing what Wang An said, Wen Mianmian was indeed a little hungry.
Although there were still a few cakes in his small bag, it would be foolish not to eat the food.
Besides, it’s dinner time now, so we can’t skip it.
So after Wang An said this, Wen Mianmian nodded.
"Okay then. I'm a little hungry too. You can go get the food first."
After Wang An left, Shancha and Shannai helped Gege pack up her things.
"Chaya, Shannai, how long have you been in the mansion?" Wen Mianmian asked these questions, actually with the intention of finding out.
"Princess, we were just assigned here from the Ministry of Internal Affairs two days ago," Shannai said truthfully.
"Yes, Princess, we just entered the palace this year. We followed the nanny to learn the rules for more than two months and were assigned to serve in the Fourth Master's mansion." Shancha also said.
Wen Mianmian chatted with them for a long time and also carefully observed their expressions while they spoke.
What they said should be true, and seeing the two girls with innocent looks on their faces, it doesn't seem like they are lying.
Soon Wang An came back with a lunch box.
"Princess, I brought the meals back." Wang An took the meals out of the lunch boxes one by one.
"Really, there's something delicious."
"There are three dishes, and they are all still hot." Wang An said with a smile.
Wen Mianmian stood up and walked to the table. When she saw the dishes on it, her face immediately drooped. Why was it stew again?
During the time in the palace, all I ate was either steamed or stewed. Did people in the Qing Dynasty have such bland tastes?
When Wen Mianmian saw that the last dish was steamed duck, the sky suddenly cleared up.
Fortunately, fortunately, there was still a meat dish. Wen Mianmian couldn't wait to sit at the table and prepare to eat.
When she picked up the chopsticks, she seemed to think of something and paused. When she looked up, she saw the three of them standing by and staring at her blankly.
Wen Mianmian put down her chopsticks awkwardly, sat up straight, looked at them, and said softly, "Ahem... well, I'm not used to being served when I eat. You guys should go down and eat first."
"I'll call you when something happens."
"Yes, Madam, I'll take my leave." The three of them didn't say anything after hearing this. They responded respectfully and then bowed and left.
Now they were unsure of their master's temperament, so naturally they dared not disobey.
After they left, Wen Mianmian picked up the chopsticks again, picked up a piece of duck meat and started eating.
Well, this duck is well cooked, the meat is tender and tender, full of fragrance and tastes great.
Wen Mianmian ate the rice and meat with great relish, and she also ate the two stews with gusto. She soon finished all three dishes without leaving any soup.
When Shancha and the others came in, they were shocked to see that the plates on the table were clean, without any soup left.
"Princess, you..." Shancha didn't know what to say.
The princess actually finished all these dishes. She must have been very hungry.
Wen Mianmian felt a little embarrassed when she saw their looks.
"Princess, are you full?" Wang An asked worriedly.
It would be bad if you eat too much.
"Haha, no, no, I've always had a big appetite. Since you're mine, you can't tell anyone about this."
So as to avoid making a fool of yourself.
