It's an unusual job in the palace. You can do it if you don't want to do it. If an official wants to stop doing it, he must get the approval of his superiors.!
Chen Jiu, in any case, can be regarded as the ‘general manager’ personally appointed by Empress Bingyun. If he gives up the choice like this, wouldn’t it be just a matter of words?
Therefore, under Bing Chunhan's strong request, Chen Jiu had no choice but to agree!
"What's wrong with sweeping the floor? With three hundred and sixty skills, if you are the number one scholar, even if you are a sweeper, you can still get ahead!" Chen Jiu has never been a person willing to admit defeat. After being depressed for a while, he quickly became excited again.
Fighting spirit.
After bidding farewell to Bing Chunhan and the others, Chen Jiu took the manager's order and came to the remote cleaning hall, where hundreds of cleaning staff were already waiting. "Meet Manager Chen!"
"Do you know me?" Chen Jiuhao also looked over. These cleaning staff were half and half male and female. They wore special light-colored clothes, giving people an inconspicuous feeling.
"Mr. Chen's achievements make us look up to him. I really didn't expect you to take over as the new manager. It would be a real honor for our house of cleaning staff!" Hundreds of cleaning staff were full of admiration.
"Since you are so honored, please briefly tell me about the responsibility of the Cleansing Hall!" Chen Jiu wants to do a good job as a cleaning lady, so he must understand it clearly.
The Cleansing Hall is mainly responsible for the cleanliness and hygiene in the palace. It is not easy at ordinary times, but once there is a banquet or the weather is bad, it will be completely overwhelming!
After all, it is simply unrealistic for only a hundred people to make the 1,800 palaces spotless.
"One thousand eight hundred palaces? You can't live them all. Is it necessary to clean them all?" Chen Jiuzhi felt a little overwhelmed.
"It must be clean, Mr. Steward. You don't know that the Empress loves to be clean and never see any dirt. The Steward was opportunistic and did not lead us to clean up those idle halls. This made the Empress angry, so she was relieved of her duties. Now
He's still being held in jail!" Hundreds of cleaning staff looked terrified.
"Holy shit, sweeping the floor is so risky, who would dare to do it?" Chen Jiuyi was stunned when he heard this, and secretly muttered, "Doesn't this empress have mysophobia?"
"Although there are some risks, it is not easy to serve in the palace. As long as you work hard, the rewards are much better outside!" Most of the housekeepers came from poor backgrounds. Although they complained at this time, in general they were quite good.
Satisfied.
"Okay, I'll talk to the Empress if I have some time. We need to add more manpower no matter what!" Chen Jiu understood everyone's sadness.
"Thank you for your understanding, manager. I wonder if our work schedule needs to be changed?" Hundreds of cleaning staff then asked again.
"Come on, first tell me how you arranged things in the past!" Chen Jiu came to a map from Yang, where the locations of each palace were marked, and major events in some time periods were recorded.
Before and after such important events as court meetings, banquets, and sacrifices to heaven, cleaning and sanitation work often have to be carried out in advance and then finished. Cleaning staff can be said to be exhausted and no one cares about it!
Working from five to nine, getting up as early as possible and sleeping as late as possible, the palace position that others envied is far less glamorous than it seems on the surface.
"Just to be honest, the Imperial Master's Palace has just paid homage to the ancestors, and now the palace is full of fire and ashes. Please send someone to clean it up quickly!" Chen Jiu was just listening when a woman outside started shouting.
"Oh, I got it!" Chen Jiu was unhappy with the other party's attitude, but still responded.
"General Manager, it is difficult to sweep away the ashes of the fire. The Imperial Master's Palace is too big and must be wiped with a wet cloth. This requires at least fifty people to be sent there!" The janitor below looked sad.
"Half the people are coming? Okay, fifty of you come with me. I want to see how dirty the Imperial Master's Hall is!" Chen Jiu personally took the lead and led fifty people to the Imperial Master's Hall.
Tall and empty, the Imperial Master's Hall enshrines a god, dressed in blue and wearing a long gown, soft yet strong, giving people a feeling of neither male nor female, and this is none other than Bingyun Immortal Ancestor!
'Puff...' Walking on the surface of the Imperial Master's Palace, the layer of fire ashes stirred up, and the air became filthy.
"Fuck, how long will he have to clean up?" Chen Jiu couldn't help but cursed and used some magical means to form a tornado to clean up.
"Master Manager, you must not do this!" But at this moment, the faces of the cleaning staff changed drastically and they quickly stopped Chen Jiu.
"Why not?" Chen Jiu didn't understand.
"Spells are not allowed to be used in front of the ancestors. This is a rule set by the emperor and must not be broken!" the cleaning staff said in panic.
"The magic can't be used?" Chen Jiu was dissatisfied. The cleaning staff had already wetted the rags with water and started to kneel on the ground to wipe the ashes.
This touch, by the time the ground was illuminated again, it was already dead of night!
After returning to the Cleansing Hall, Chen Jiu took a short nap. Under the urging of the cleaning staff, Chen Jiu came to clean the road in front of the Chaoden Hall.
After the road was cleaned, Chen Jiu immediately had to send many cleaners to clean the halls. Not to mention once a day, but they couldn't go without cleaning for too long!
The work is not heavy, but it is almost impossible to stop. After such a long day, Chen Jiuxin is extremely tired, because the palace is dirty here and there, but as the general manager, he cannot ignore it. This is really annoying.
.
Finally, Chen Jiu couldn't stand an open-air worship event in the Imperial Master's Hall, because tens of thousands of kilograms of paper money were burned during this worship ceremony.
Good guy, the fire ash has filled most of the entire palace, which makes it difficult to clean.
Unable to bear it, Chen Jiu was also releasing spells to help the cleaning staff, but after all, in the palace, he could not release them on a large area, and could only clean them piece by piece.
"Chen Jiu, you have practiced your sweeping skills well!" Bingli finally showed up again. She looked at Chen Jiu arrogantly and happily, making it clear that she was laughing at him.
"Bingli, your Imperial Master's Hall has worshiped three times in seven days, are you still finished?" Chen Jiuzhi felt that the matter was not that simple, and was deliberately targeted.
"Chen Jiu, is it wrong for us to worship heaven and ancestors?" Bingli had a very good reason.
"Bingli, what do you want?" Chen Jiu asked.
"Chen Jiu, are you begging me?" Bingli was extremely proud. "If you are begging me, I might consider interceding for you!"
"Bah, expecting me to beg you is simply wishful thinking!" Chen Jiu was unwilling to bow his head at all.
"Chen Jiu, I really don't understand, what's so good about Bingying? As long as you cooperate with me, I guarantee that she will treat you better. Why are you so stubborn?" Bingli really couldn't swallow this breath.
.
"Is cooperation still possible? Bingli and Bingying are no longer disciples now. You should recognize the reality!" Chen Jiu's kind-hearted advice did not resolve Bingli's jealousy and hatred at all.
Hey, it seems that we have to find a way to solve it once and for all. When Chen Jiu finally sighed, looking at the sight of the tornado sucking up dust, a spiritual light suddenly flashed out, and he was greatly surprised!
