The piano likes a low-temperature environment, but it is not allowed to have a heater or oven, otherwise it will easily crack and deform when exposed to heat. Once the back arches or collapses, the piano will be destroyed. Oily smoke is also the most avoidable thing, especially if the strings are contaminated and the tone will be damaged.

It will change, so wipe it frequently to prevent dust and dust and keep it clean.

Obviously these pianos have not been taken care of seriously and comprehensively for some time.

There are also specialties for pianos in the north and south. Due to the different climate and temperature differences, deformation and cracks may easily occur if not properly maintained.

The environment and internal facilities of the piano room are in good condition. At least it was a specially built piano room a few years ago with skilled craftsmen. There are anti-corrosion facilities on the top and moisture-proof lime around the bottom. Therefore, although no one takes care of it here, the piano is still there.

It's not bad at all.

Jiang Mei found a soft cloth and brought hand oil. She dipped a little hand oil into the soft cloth and gently wrapped the strings. She wiped them from Yueshan to the end of the piano and then to Yueshan. She went back and forth about ten times for each string.

times, then wrap the strings with a clean cloth and wipe them ten times until they are clean.

She wiped each of the more than a dozen pianos carefully. For some dirty areas, she specially poured warm water, dipped a soft cloth in a little water, and wiped the piano body bit by bit.

It wasn't until Xiao Xin called her to have dinner with her at noon that she finished playing the six pianos. She wanted to come back after dinner.

After working all morning, she felt a little tired. She didn't usually have such a high workload. When she was at home, she could only clean her piano, and there were maids nearby fetching water and delivering things.

Today, everything is all about herself, and she still feels a little sore in her limbs.

The neck is also not very smooth. In short, I just don’t get used to it.

She rubbed her arms gently as she walked. Xiaoqin looked at her and thought she was squeamish, so she reminded her: "Walk well and be careful about hitting the boards."

You have to behave properly when walking in the Prince's Mansion. You can't twist, show your teeth, or laugh or make noises. There are rules for how big or small you are. Jiang Mei almost forgot, thinking that she was free at her own home.

Thanks to Xiaoqin's reminder, she quickly straightened her posture and endured the pain.

After eating in the afternoon, she returned to the piano room before she dared to rub her arms again. After taking a break, she went to get warm water and started to clean the piano. She must finish the work today, and the piano will no longer be scratched tomorrow.

Even though they were dirty, she wanted them to be as clean as new. She cherished Qin especially.

After doing the work for a long time, Jiang Mei felt as if she was wearing too many clothes and it was too hot. The heat made her sweat on her vest. She thought for a moment and took off her coat. Fortunately, no one usually came here.

Cotton coats can also be worn outside.

However, not long after, she heard a stern scolding: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Mei took a look and saw that it was Ming Zheng beside the Crown Princess. She was taking two nuns to inspect the work.

Jiang Mei didn't know the reason, "I'm cleaning the piano."

"What is mine? I don't call myself a slave in the palace. This is the first crime. Wearing private clothes without permission and stripping off in public is a breach of morality. This is the second crime. Do you know the crime?"

Jiang Mei quickly put on her palace clothes and prepared to explain: "I didn't do it on purpose. I just felt a little hot, so..."

"Confronting your boss and making excuses are three crimes."

Seeing Ming Zheng's unquestionable serious expression, Jiang Mei didn't dare to say anything anymore. The more she said, the more likely she would be wrong.

"Kneel down."

Jiang Mei struggled with her thoughts, and finally had to kneel down, lowering her head and saying nothing.

"This is your first offender, and you will be punished by kneeling for an hour." Ming Zheng's unquestionable words determined Jiang Mei's first punishment.

For the first time, an unprecedented sense of humiliation arose in Jiang Mei's heart. Is this the only way to become a slave? She lowered her head and cried uncontrollably, but she didn't dare to disobey her.

Ming Zheng led the people away, and Jiang Mei just knelt on the ground. After a long time, the warmth from her body was gradually lost, and she was replaced by waves of coolness.

Jiang Mei, who had never knelt before, felt the taste of corporal punishment for the first time.

Feeling that her knees were uncomfortably tight, Jiang Mei wanted to move. After kneeling for a long time, her knees felt like pins and needles, like a heavy hammer, and the pain was very severe. She did not move much, but only moved a little, and then she was left to supervise her.

Grandma stared.

"The palace has its own rules. No matter who you were before, now that you are in the East Palace, you are a slave. Do what a slave should do, don't make mistakes, don't make mistakes, and when the age is up, you can naturally get married safely out of the palace.

. Or receiving a favor from the master, getting married, being matched with a servant or a steward in the palace, it is all a blessing. Don't think that you have a foxy look and just imitate those cheap hooves who do some seductive tricks. In the eyes of the Crown Princess, you can't

It can't be rubbed into sand."

She wanted to argue that she didn't, but seeing her arrogant face, she didn't want to. No, that was no, she straightened her body, her eyes were firm, and she stopped crying.

When she was on duty in the afternoon, Xiao Xin and Xiao Qin came to call her to eat. At the door, Xiao Qin watched from a distance as Jiang Mei was forced to kneel down. Xiao Xin wanted to go in again, but Xiao Qin pulled her away.

Xiao Xin became unhappy during the tug, and threw away Xiao Qin's hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you doing this? Ji Jiang belongs to the same room as us, so I can help her beg for mercy."

Xiaoqin looked unhappy and said sarcastically: "Who do you think you are? How can you get the face to plead for her? Who would plead for us when we were punished before?"

Although he knew what Xiaoqin said was true, Xiaoxin still felt unhappy and quickly walked to the cafeteria.

The meal tonight was good, with two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge per person. The dishes were fried large white radish and two pieces of meat.

Xiao Xin was delighted when she saw it. Before she could sit down, she put a piece of meat in her mouth. The smooth and oily feeling made her very satisfied. She even added more to her mouth with her tongue. Then she picked up the steamed bun and bit it hard.

One mouthful, and then the restless Xiaoqin groaned.

Xiaoqin ignored her, and slowly ate her steamed buns, drank porridge, and ate a piece of meat. There was one steamed bun left, and Xiao Xin ate it quickly. Seeing that Xiaoqin hadn't eaten the steamed bun, she stretched out her hand to take it.

When I went to eat, I was slapped by Xiao Qin.

"If you eat so much, be careful you'll gain weight and be punished by cleaning the latrine."

Xiao Xin felt that she was stingy, so she pouted and said, "Then give me that piece of meat."

Xiao Qin refused to do it and said to her: "Palace ladies should not eat too much meat and fish, and be careful to be arrogant and angry in front of the masters. Even a slap in the face is not enough."

"Why are you such a mother-in-law?" But Xiao Xin didn't dare to eat anymore..

Xiao Xin finished the porridge with fried shredded radish, then looked at the lentils in the distance with envy and said, "Look at the lentils, I just counted them, there are four pieces of meat."

Xiaoqin glanced at Lendou without saying anything.

Now she has transformed into a palace maid, and she is serving the prince. She still doesn't know how to control herself, and will be disliked by her master sooner or later.

Xiaoqin carefully moved away the remaining steamed bun and sandwiched the piece of meat in the middle. Xiaoxin's eyes were hot, but she saw that Xiaoqin didn't eat it herself and carefully hid the steamed bun in her sleeves, then pinched the cuffs and said: "
Chapter completed!
