The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

After breakfast, Mu Qingcheng went back to take a nap.

Yun Qing called Zijin and Zipei and asked them to clean up the west ear room and move over to take care of Mu Qingcheng.

The two of them happily went to pack up their things. There were many beds in the back room, all left by the previous owner. There must have been many servants living there before!

Zijin and Zipei picked out two beds that looked new and scrubbed them clean. Although the beds hadn't been used in twenty years, the wood was good and after scrubbing them clean they looked like new.

Mo Yu helped the two girls carry their beds to the west wing. Seeing that the two girls had already moved into the inner courtyard, he thought his master would definitely ask him to move to the east wing. Should he clean up the east wing as well? If he moved there, he could be closer to his master.

"Mo Yu!" The master was calling him, and Mo Yu came over rubbing his hands.

Yun Qing said, "Go and seal up all the holes in the yard, even the rat holes."

Mo Yu: “…” He is only fit to do this kind of rough work.

"Yes."

When Yun Qing heard Mo Yu's reluctant answer, he remembered that Mu Qingcheng had told her yesterday not to enslave Mo Yu, but there was no one else here. Was he supposed to do this kind of work himself?

Should we hire some servants? It’s really difficult to let Mo Yu work alone in such a big yard.

He suddenly remembered that there were still three people locked up in the back room. He now regretted cutting the tendons of their hands and feet. Otherwise, he could have kept them to do some work. What a mistake, what a mistake.

However, it wasn't like they couldn't work now. So, Yun Qing asked Mo Yu, "How are the three people in the back room?"

"Master, I applied medicine to them last night, and their wounds are not serious. Except for Xu Laoer who has broken ribs and can't move, those two are in good spirits today."

"Just treat it as waste and let them fill the holes. Tell them that if they do a good job, they can live until night. If they don't, just bury them in the garden and use them as fertilizer. From now on, only those who can work deserve to live. We don't support idlers here."

Mo Yu became excited when he heard this. He thought that this was a good idea of ​​his master.

Mo Yu came to the back room and threw a steamed bun to each of them, conveying Yun Qing's words to them.

"Your lives are in your own hands. Whether you survive until nightfall depends on whether you are still useful."

The three people couldn't speak, but nodded vigorously, their desire to survive was very strong, indicating that they could do it and they were useful.

Even Xu Laoer, who was lying unable to move, raised his hand to participate in the labor.

Moyu left without even looking at him, and the two men crawled after her. Only Xu Laoer lay on the ground, crying silently.

It was almost noon when Mu Qingcheng woke up. Zi Jin, who was guarding the door, heard the noise and quickly pushed the door open.

"Miss, you are awake."

Mu Qingcheng hugged the quilt and was a little confused: "Zijin, why are you here?"

Zi Jin smiled happily and said, "It was the young master who asked us to move to the adjacent room. We will live here from now on so that we can take care of you nearby."

Mu Qingcheng listened to Zijin speaking in a very professional manner, which was completely different from the first time she met her. She knew that this was due to Su Qingyan's good teaching.

"Zijin, come here." She beckoned the little girl to the bedside and asked her to sit down. Zijin didn't dare to sit down, so Mu Qingcheng directly pulled her over to sit down.

"Zijin, I'm going to ask you a few questions. You must answer me honestly and not lie to me."

Zijin nodded seriously, and Mu Qingcheng really wanted to laugh when she saw how nervous she was.

"Okay, then let me ask you, you wanted to be a maid so much before, and now that you really are a maid, do you regret it?"

Zi Jin was frightened when she heard this. She thought she had not done well, that Mu Qingcheng did not like her and did not want her anymore, and she shook her head like a rattle.

"Miss, I don't regret it. I really don't regret it. I want to be your maid. Please don't drive me away."

Mu Qingcheng: “…” Look how scared the child is.

She sighed secretly. She understood how difficult life was for women in ancient times. Many families drowned their daughters after giving birth. Those who could survive and grow up were the lucky ones.

"So do you like the name Zijin?"

"I like it. It's a nice name."

Mu Qingcheng: "Okay, since you like it so much, then stay. But if one day you suddenly don't want to be a maid anymore, you can always come to me. You have the right to pursue a better life."

Zijin shook her head and said, "Miss, the days we have now are so good that I never imagined they would be. Before this, I had never worn such beautiful clothes, never eaten white flour buns, and never knew there were such delicious things as dim sum in the world."

Zijin cried as she spoke, "In the past, our family only had one bed, and only my father and stepmother could sleep on it. Even my three younger brothers could only sleep on the earthen kang. And I could only sleep on the straw in the woodshed. In the winter, I was too cold to sleep, and in the summer, I couldn't sleep because of the mosquito bites. But now I sleep on a comfortable bed and cover myself with a warm quilt. Miss, you don't know how happy I am. This is all given by you, Miss. I will never leave you for the rest of my life."

Mu Qingcheng almost cried when she heard this. She was born in a modern metropolis, and her parents were both rich. She had lived a life of luxury for more than ten years, and the biggest hardship she had to endure was getting up early to go to school.

She couldn't even imagine the suffering Zijin was talking about. At this moment, Zipei came in with red eyes. She had been listening outside for a long time.

"Miss, I beg you not to drive us away. We are willing to do any work, no matter how hard or tiring it is, as long as you don't drive us away."

Mu Qingcheng also took Zipei's hand and said, "Look at you two. When did I say I was going to drive you away? Don't worry, as long as you don't want to leave, no one can drive you away."

"Really?" the two asked in unison.

Mu Qingcheng nodded sincerely. How could she bear to reject such a job-seeking employee?

She got out of bed, put on her shoes, walked to the table and sat down, asking the two employees to sit down as well.

"There aren't so many rules here. You just need to do your part."

Zijin and Zipei sat down nervously.

"Since you're following me, I won't let you suffer any more. Let's get rich together. When we have enough money, the three of us will travel, see all the mountains and rivers, and eat all the delicious food in the world. When we get tired of visiting the Great Qi Kingdom, we can go to Nanyan, Dongyou, and Jiuli. Then, we can find the most beautiful place, build a big yard, and live a happy life. How about it?"

Mu Qingcheng's promise was really too big, and the two of them would have trouble digesting it for a while.

Seeing them staring blankly, Mu Qingcheng wondered if her starting point was a bit too high. Why not try Su Qingyan and Mu Yao? There must be someone with the same aspirations!

"Then, what about the young master? Miss, won't you take the young master with you?" Zi Jin, who didn't know how to respond for a long time, asked an irrelevant question weakly.

Mu Qingcheng was exhausted! It was like they were talking at cross purposes. "Yun Qing, of course he went back to where he came from."

"So, where are you going, sir? Shouldn't we go with you?"

Mu Qingcheng: “…” Hehe!

"Why would we follow him? I mean, men should do great things, like study hard and become the top scholar. We should just live our own lives."

Zi Pei asked worriedly, "Don't you plan to marry Miss in the future?"

"Ah!" Mu Qingcheng was stunned: "He will marry me? No, no, no, your lady doesn't want to get married yet."

"But!" Zijin also began to worry: "Young lady and young master are living together. If he doesn't marry young lady, then young lady's reputation will be ruined. What should young lady do?"

Mu Qingcheng felt even more exhausted. She was only seventeen, why was she in such a hurry to get married? Besides, she wanted to be an independent, single, wealthy woman, living a free and easy life. Who would want to marry an ancient man, take care of the family, fight with concubines every day, and live with a man who had many women?

Oh my god! She has mysophobia. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle. Is she tired of living and wants to live like this?

Mu Qingcheng emphasized again: "He and I are just friends. Besides, I never care about reputation. Anyway, I will not marry him. Let's talk about marriage in the future! If I meet someone I really like, I will marry him once. If I don't meet someone else, I will never marry again."

In the future, she will make a lot of money. With money, she will have confidence and a backer. Even if she meets a scumbag, she will not be afraid. She can just leave and she can also save her father and her son!

Outside the window, a figure stood for a long time!
