There were guards in the middle of the second and third courtyards. When they saw Aunt Xu coming, they stopped her. A servant-looking man with a fierce look in his eyes said, "What are you doing? This is not a place where you can come in as you please."

"Young man, we're here to see the manager. I've introduced another person to us. He was just brought here, so the manager needs to take a look at him," Aunt Xu said in a flattering tone.

The servant glanced at Du Mingxian and said, "Alright, you all stay here. I'll go in and report."

"Okay, okay, we'll wait here."

The servant turned and left. Aunt Xu, still a little excited, turned to Du Mingxian and said, "See? This is a lucky place. Just now, that servant spoke with such authority."

He's just a servant, but he's skilled in martial arts.

Du Mingxian's first impression.

She kept smiling and pretending to be stupid in the face of Aunt Xu's words.

After a while, a woman came out with a servant. The woman was about forty years old and had a sharp look in her eyes. She looked Du Mingxian up and down as soon as she came out.

"She looks quite capable. Alright, take her to the front today and tell the person in charge there to see how well she does. If she does well, keep her."

"Yes, yes, thank you, steward." Aunt Xu was very happy.

Du Mingxian didn't speak, but just nodded slightly, looking very honest and not very clever.

The manager waved his hand, "Alright, hurry up and go to the front, don't waste time."

"Yes." Aunt Xu replied and led Du Mingxian forward. Once they reached the front, she began to introduce them.

"These areas are divided into sections; some are for cutting, some for sewing, and everyone's work is a bit different. When you see the supervisor, be a little sweet-talking. They don't have particularly high requirements for needlework, but they're not completely without requirements either."

"Okay, Aunt Xu, I understand."

Aunt Xu was still a little worried. "You must remember to do your best and try your best to stay."

"Auntie, what are the benefits of me staying?"

Aunt Xu seemed to care a lot about whether she could stay, which made her suspicious that she must be getting something in return. Why would Aunt Xu be so enthusiastic in introducing her if there was no benefit in it?

"Yes, I can get five hundred coins for each reliable person I introduce."

That's a considerable amount of money.

"Okay, Auntie, I will definitely do my best. With such a good job, how could I not do my best? Don't worry."

"That's good." Aunt Xu said as she led Du Mingxian inside.

Finally, they met the manager. Everyone was in the second courtyard. Those who sewed clothes were all in the east wing. When Aunt Xu led Du Mingxian in, there were already several people sitting in that room.

At a glance, there were about twelve or thirteen people. And this was just one room. Everyone was busy, focused on their own work. Even when Aunt Xu led her in, no one looked up.

The person in charge happened to be in this room, and he knew what was going on as soon as he saw a new face.

"You've been inside?"

"Yes, the person in charge said to keep an eye on how the people are doing."

"Alright." The person in charge didn't say anything. "Find an empty seat and sit down. I'll bring out a piece of clothing and see how your needlework is."

"Yes," Du Mingxian replied.

Aunt Xu pulled her to the innermost part of the courtyard. "This is our place. You can stay here. There are many people in this courtyard, and there aren't many empty seats."
