Chapter 160 Good Things

"Thank you!" Hyman thanked the maid of honor. Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, he knew that she was going to be paid. He quickly took out a piece of broken silver and stuffed it into her hand. "It's a small matter, I'll treat you to tea!"

"What's the matter!" The maid of honor was polite, but there was no hesitation in her hand. She put the silver into the sleeve. "If you have any other news to inquire about, just come to me. I will go to the palaces of the Empress every day!"

Hyman smiled and said, "Okay." Sure enough, as the old medicine head said, it is difficult to walk without money in the palace. It costs money to ask for some information!

According to the maid, Huang Yuejiao was awarded as a talented person, which was also fulfilled. She was also happy for Huang Yuejiao. That girl has no other luxury. She just wants to have enough food and clothing. If she is talented, she is the fifth grade, which is enough!

"Hey, what are you standing here laughing at? Why don't you go to work?" An elderly maid passed by her and stared at her unhappily, "Don't you see that everyone is busy? Go quickly and wash all the clothes over there. Don't make any mistakes, do you understand?

"Yes." Hyman restrained his thoughts, rolled up his sleeves and began to wash the mountains of clothes.

As the name implies, the laundry room is the laundry room. The dirty clothes of the masters of the palace, the top maids, the chief eunuchs, and the bill cover used will all be sent here. Every day, the eunuch on duty will go to the temples to collect the clothes to be washed, and then the whole car will be transported to the washing room. The maids here wash, dry, iron and label. When it arrives, the eunuch on duty will come to pick it up and send it back to each pavilion according to the labeling.

There are thousands of clothes to wash every day, and there are less than 100 rough maids in the washing room. The amount of labor can be imagined. Especially the maid in charge of washing is too busy to have any leisure.

"Those are the clothes of the Empress Qin Guifei in Huixi Palace. Please be careful. If anything goes wrong, you can't bear it for your life. Do you understand?"

"And over there, can you wash your hat? The hat needs to be cleaned slowly so that it won't deform. How long have you been washing the room? Why don't you even know this?

"You, and you, how can those clothes be exposed to the sun? That should be dried slowly in a cool place, otherwise it will fade. Didn't I teach you on weekdays? What are you still doing? Why don't you move away? Also, you don't have lunch. Really, if you don't pay attention, you will make mistakes?"

The elderly maid of honor holds a shiny rattan in her hand and shuttles between the maids of honor. If anyone does something wrong, she will take a few times, and if she is serious, she will be punished. It is common to have no food for one or two meals.

She is the maid of honor here, and everyone calls her aunt. It is said that she entered the palace at the age of ten and has been in the palace for more than 40 years. Maybe after living in the palace for too long, there seems to be an unpredictable shadow on his face, which makes his face a little gloomy. In addition, she is very strict with the palace maids, and the palace maids call her ghost aunt behind their backs.

Jing's aunt turned around and came to Hyman and checked her washed clothes one by one. She didn't find any problems. She stared at her and went to another place to inspect.

Haiman's bitter lips smiled bitterly. In the past few days, Jing's aunt always sneered at her, as if she had a great predetermination with her. She doesn't remember when she offended the plague god. Maybe the words didn't match!

"You two be careful not to break your clothes, or no one will want to eat at noon!"

The aunt roared, and everyone hurriedly softened their hands. They have half an hour to eat at noon, but most of them don't take that long to eat. They can take a nap. If someone makes any trouble before this, my aunt will check it again and let everyone eat until there is no problem. So near the meal time, everyone is more careful for fear of making trouble and wasting that little rest time!

"Okay, we can go to dinner!" Aunt Jing checked around and found nothing wrong. She issued an amnesty.

The maids breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly dispersed.

Hyman is not a spoiled person, but he hasn't done much heavy work. He washed more than 20 clothes in the morning, and some of them can't stand it. His back hurts. It seems that it will take some time to get used to the rhythm of life here.

He moved his body a little and brought the food back to the room. Seeing that Lin Ziqin was sitting at the table in a daze, he couldn't help sighing and came over and patted her gently, "It's time to eat!"

"I'm not hungry!" Lin Ziqin shook her head, and she had no appetite.

I thought that if I stayed in the palace, there would always be a chance to meet Jiang Shize, but when she came to the laundry room, she realized that the so-called Si Wan was just a false title. The female official of Zhengliupin has a good view. She has no power in her hands. Without the summons of the palace bureau, she can't leave the raccoon washing room. In this palace, anyone with a little status will not set foot in such a place as the washing room.

She just sits in Si Huan's exclusive room every day, eating, sleeping and in a daze, which is no different from being under house arrest.

Haman can understand her mood and know that she can't listen to it now. He deliberately found some relaxing topics and said, "I just inquired about Yuejiao from a maid of honor, and she has been awarded the title of talent!"

Is that right? That's not bad, exactly what she wants!" Lin Ziqin reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "What a simple request!"

"Yes, it's not bad to live simply like her. You don't have to think too much, and you won't compete with others for anything. It's also a blessing to live like that!"

Lin Ziqin heard that there was some admonition in her words, smiled and said nothing. She also wanted to let go, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't help feeling sad when she thought of Master Lin's coming, and the anger and hatred would surge.

Hyman looked at her and said, "Have you... heard about Mrs. Lin?"

Lin Ziqin shook her head, "No..."

"Why don't I ask Yi Yun to help find her..." Maybe finding Mrs. Lin can divert her attention.

"No!"

Haiman's eyes flashed. Since they met in the palace, Lin Ziqin only mentioned Master Lin and never mentioned Mrs. Lin. In the past, when she was in Lin's house, she could also feel that Mrs. Lin did not seem to like Lin Ziqin, and the feelings between mother and daughter were very weak.

But no matter how thin it is, it's mother and daughter, and there will always be some concerns, right? But listening to her tone, she didn't seem to care about Mrs. Lin at all.

"I wanted to ask a long time ago, is there anything between you and Mrs. Lin? Maybe... aren't you her own?"

"How do you know?" Lin Ziqin looked over, and her eyes were full of surprise.

Looking at her reaction, Hyman knew that he had guessed right, and that's true!

"Actually, my surname is Lin. I'm the child my father picked up!" Lin Ziqin's surprised expression dissipated and lowered her long eyelashes. "I was abandoned by my parents not long after I was born. They didn't leave any information about my background. It seems that they don't want me at all. It was my father who picked me up and raised me up."

This surprised Haiman a little. She thought that Lin Ziqin was the same as the original Haiman and was a child born to other women by Master Lin, but she didn't expect that she had no blood relationship with Master Lin. In this way, Mr. Lin is indeed a rare kind-hearted person, and the children picked up can be regarded as himself.

However, when she thought of the division of the family property, she couldn't help but wonder, "Don't you know the Lin family?"

"Only my father and mother know that if those people had known, I would not have been able to gain a foothold in the Lin family." Lin Ziqin smiled bitterly, "When I was picked up by my father, my mother happened to have a difficult delivery and gave birth to a dead baby, and my father used me to replace the child's position. After all, she is not biological, so my mother has always been indifferent to me. When I was a child, I envied the three brothers who could act coquettishly with their mother, play with them, and sleep together. But I can't. When I get close to her, she will show a very impatient and disgusting hungry expression. She has never smiled at me.

I was very sad at that time. I don't know why my mother hated me. Whenever I cry, my father will come to coax me, take me out to play, buy me delicious food, and tell me a lot of stories. Now think about it, if I didn't have a father, what would I have been like in the past ten years? I don't know if I can live so much. I didn't have time to repay such a kind father, but he was killed by the indiscriminate emperor..."

Seeing that she was talking more and more excited, Hyman hurriedly reached out and covered her mouth. "This palace, you can't talk nonsense. Be careful to spread it out..."

Lin Ziqin was stunned and regained a little reason, but tears couldn't stop flowing down, so she simply hugged Hyman and cried loudly.

For her, Master Lin is both a benefactor and her parents. No wonder she can't let go of Master Lin's death. Hyman didn't know what words to comfort her, so he could only gently stroke her back and give her some comfort.

"Qin Siwan, Qin Siwan, are you there? Come out!" Someone shouted loudly outside, which was a woman's voice.

"Are you calling me?" Lin Ziqin stopped crying and asked with choking.

Hyman nodded, took the veil and handed it to her, "Wipe your face, and I'll go out and have a look." When I pushed the door and came out, I saw several maids surrounded by a woman in gorgeous clothes in her thirties walking this way quickly and hurriedly asked, "What do you want to do with Qin Sihuan?"

"What's the matter? Humph, look at what you have done!" The gorgeous woman stretched out her hand, grabbed a dress in the hand of the maid beside her, and threw it fiercely on Hyman's face...
