Tian's little cook

Chapter 676 Allocating Accommodation
Except for the eunuchs and maids who are exclusive to each palace, other people who have no fixed service objects live in a special place in the imperial palace, similar to modern collective dormitories, where men and women live separately.

Lin Zhimo carried his luggage and followed a young eunuch to a large courtyard.

A woman walked out of the main hall facing the gate. She was about 35 years old, with a serious expression and a serious expression.

"Aunt Hua." The little eunuch immediately greeted her with a smile, thinking that this Aunt Hua had some status.

Hua Gu took a look at Lin Zhimo, "Are you a new court lady? You haven't chosen a court lady recently, have you?"

The little eunuch replied: "Aunt Hua, this is the royal chef selected today."

"Imperial chef?" Hua Gu seemed a little disbelieving.

Lin Zhimo immediately introduced himself: "Aunt Hua, hello, my name is Lin Zhimo."

"How old is it?" Hua Gu's eyes gave a very sharp feeling.

"I'm 16 years old."

Hua Gu suddenly smiled: "Sure enough, I just entered the palace, there are no rules at all."

Lin Zhimo didn't know what he said that offended her, so he didn't dare to say any more, and lowered his head slightly, this Hua Gu seemed difficult to get along with.

"Aunt Hua, you can arrange a place for her to live in, and I'll take her to learn the rules in the afternoon." The little eunuch had other things to do, so he took her with him and left.

"Follow me." Hua Gu glanced at her again, then walked away.

Lin Zhimo hurriedly followed, looking around.

After walking for a while, Lin Zhimo discovered that the inside is very large, consisting of courtyards next to each other. Except for the main entrance, each courtyard is composed of five rooms on the other three sides.

Hua Gu led her to the innermost courtyard and pushed open a room in the middle, "You will live here."

"Yes." Lin Zhimo walked in. The room was not big. There were two wooden tables on the left and a row of bunks next to it. At a glance, there were about six bunks.

There are shelves nailed to the bunks, and a lot of things are placed on them.

Inside are several simple wardrobes.

Lin Zhimo walked in, not knowing where he should sleep, Hua Gu said, "I am the steward of Xiyuan, and I am in charge of all affairs here."

Lin Zhimo stood upright and listened to her.

"People in Xiyuan get up at [-]:[-] Yinshi and go to bed at [-]:[-] Haishi. In Xiyuan, you are not allowed to fight, steal, or change rooms at will. Violators will be punished severely."

"I see." Lin Zhimo nodded quickly.

"Xiyuan doesn't provide food, you can eat wherever you work." Hua Gu said a few more words, "Put your things away first, and follow me to get daily necessities."

"Yeah." Just as Lin Zhimo put his luggage on the table, two court ladies walked in, "Aunt Hua, why are you here? Please sit down."

Both of them were dressed in dark court maids, and their rank could not be seen.

"A newcomer has arrived, and she will live here from now on."

Lin Zhimo met their eyes and smiled friendly, and the two of them also smiled.

"You can sleep here, there is no one here." One of the shorter maids pointed to the middle bed.

"Okay, thank you." Lin Zhimo nodded, and then followed Hua Gu to another room to collect the necessary items such as bedding and basins and head back.

It was already noon at this time, and some court ladies returned to Xiyuan one after another, and they all looked at Lin Zhimo curiously when they saw Lin Zhimo.

All the small courtyards here are similar in size, and Lin Zhimo searched for a while before walking back to the small courtyard where he wanted to live.

As soon as he reached the door, Lin Zhimo heard a noise coming from inside.
