After Xiuyun went back, she had been restless all day, completely different from her usual taciturn appearance.
It took a whole day for Xiuyun to fully digest Ru'er's words.
Both Xiuyun and Ru'er are from Jingzhou, and their family is a poor farmer's family. There is a father at home, but unfortunately my mother died early, married a stepmother, and gave birth to two younger brothers, so these two sisters became an eyesore at home.
When Ru'er was about to get married, her stepmother sold her instead of betrothing her. The excuse is that the two sons are going to a private school to study, and they will honor their ancestors in the future.
If you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather. This sentence is not wrong at all. Originally, the daughter was a loser, so her father listened to the instigation of the stepmother and sold the eldest daughter without saying a word.
There is no need to mention the sadness and panic during the period, but Ru'er was lucky, and the person who sold the teeth was the one who was responsible for importing servants into King Jing's mansion. By coincidence, Ru'er entered King Jing's mansion.
After coming here, the world is different.
It's a pity that although Ru'er is good-looking, she is a country girl after all, and she doesn't have enough eyes and eyes, so she missed the opportunity. She is also a conscientious person, and her popularity in the mansion is also good. She has seen a lot of things in the Jingwang mansion for the past two years, which moved her sister's mind.
The servants in King Jing’s mansion, if they are from Jingzhou, can go home once a year, and Ru’er will take time to go home. The situation of the younger sister Xiuyun, Ru'er can guess without looking at it, it is estimated that she was sold, or she would end up marrying someone and getting a few taels of silver as a betrothal gift.
As soon as the two sides were compared, Ru'er decided to encourage her father to 'sell' the girl into King Jing's mansion.
Of course, the RBI in the meantime is also indispensable, but also depends on luck. But Ru'er also thought about it, it's better than being at home anyway, but she saw that the stepmother was going to marry the girl to the silly son of the small landlord in the village, but she changed her mind because the betrothal gift was not much money.
Now that Xiuyun successfully entered the mansion and was lucky enough to enter the Jingtai Hall, Ru'er felt that everything was ready, just to see if her sister had that good fortune.
Of course, taking 10,000 steps back, even if there is no such good fortune, it is not bad to stay here, at least you don't have to worry about being married to a fool.
Xiuyun is a smart girl, of course she understands the reasoning. Before she came in, she always followed what her sister explained, she kept talking less, observing more, and learning more rules.
It's just that this incident was so surprising that Xiuyun couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning.
And Xiuyun also thought that she had made a mistake today. She didn't know the situation at the time, and she was afraid that it would be inconvenient to find her sister, so she thought of asking Xiaohua to help cover it up. Who knew that her sister was better than she imagined, and she directly I told So Yeon to take her away.
The only thing that didn't match was that she was talking about her elder sister, while Ru'er was talking about her fellow villager at the time. But when Xiuyun saw that Xiaohua didn't show a strange expression, she thought it was because there were so many people at that time that Xiaohua didn't hear it.
It was late at night, and everyone in the room was asleep.
Xiaohua was close to Xiuyun, and of course she heard the movement of her turning over.
Thinking of what happened at noon, and the weirdness in it, and seeing Xiuyun, who has always been calm, having trouble sleeping and eating, Xiaohua thought that there must be something in it.
Maybe it's also about changing errands
But she is not a prophet after all, and she doesn't want to care too much about others. She can only think about it in her mind, and then forget it.
…
Everything is the same as before, and Xiuyun is no different from before.
Originally, Xiaohua was still thinking about the possibility that the two sisters were discussing changing errands for Xiuyun, but she didn't think about anything else after seeing Xiuyun's silence.
During this period, a few of the Xiaogong people at the sweeping place had already left.
Some people who could not hold their breath in the first place became even more anxious, but they had no choice but to suffer in secret.
During the period, Xiuyun had a fellow villager who was in the Dianshan restaurant and was known by others. Qiaolian's face to Xiuyun immediately improved, and Xier was heartless and dragged Xiuyun to various roots Bottom line.
Xiuyun tweeted that she was only a fellow countryman, and her friendship was not deep, let alone helping to change errands. If she could change her, she would not continue to stick here.
Hearing this, Qiaolian and Xi'er were both angry. Xi'er no longer bothered Xiuyun, but turned her head to find other people to play with. Qiaolian's face returned to her usual acerbic expression, and she sneered a few words.
Seeing this dramatic scene, Xiaohua was very helpless, but a little uncomfortable in her heart. Such a scene reminded her of many past experiences, and slowly began to distance herself from Xi'er. Even Xiuyun's strangeness caused her to drift away from Xiaohua.
The gears of fate turned slowly, and suddenly came on a windy day in the afternoon.
On this day, Aunt Qi suddenly came to the sweeping place.
Aunt Chen, who has always had a stern face, accompanies her in front of this group of small palace people with a somewhat flattering attitude.
After this period of time as an official in the mansion, everyone already knows some of Aunt Qi's deeds.
It is said that Aunt Qi is one of the several steward aunts in King Jing's mansion. The most powerful thing is that she does not come into the mansion from the people like the ordinary palace servants in the mansion, but comes out of the palace. The qualifications are very old. It is said that when King Jing was in Jingzhou, she followed.
The people in these small palaces have similar experiences, they are not the maids of a wealthy family, or they are the commoners who sold themselves as slaves for various reasons. With limited vision, I feel that those who can come out of the palace are extremely tall.
Including Xiaohua, she is considered the richest person who has stayed here, but she has no knowledge in her two lifetimes. The best one is the auntie of the young master of Hou's residence, or the auntie who can never go out and can only stay in the backyard. For her in the palace, she could only look up.
Therefore, when these people in the small palace saw Aunt Qi, they inexplicably felt a sense of awe. All of them tightened their faces and looked up at Aunt Qi who was standing on the steps.
Aunt Qi's appearance was not different from what they had seen before. There was still no expression fluctuation on her face, her eyes were very calm, and her appearance belonged to the kind that can't be found on the street. I don't know if it's a psychological reason, even such an ordinary person has an indescribable sense of majesty out of thin air.
"Aunt Qi, all the people from the small palace are here." You can tell from the title that although Aunt Chen is also an aunt, her level is obviously much lower than that of Aunt Qi.
Aunt Qi nodded, and standing beside her, a palace servant wearing apricot red shorts and lotus-colored long skirts held a piece of paper and walked to Xiaohua and the others.
"The people I called by their names below stood up."
The palace man paused, then began to call his name.
Among them, Xiaohua, Xiuyun, Xi'er, and Qiaolian were among them, as well as several other Xiaogong people, a total of twelve came out and stood in one place.
"Okay, you all come with me." After Aunt Qi finished speaking, she took the person in charge of the palace and left, and Xiaohua and the others followed.
The head is slightly lowered, and the small steps are lightly moved. The speed is adjusted according to the speed of the palace people in front. The middle distance is kept three steps away, but the hair does not move and the skirt does not sway. This is the walking posture stipulated by the palace. In terms of form, these little palace people learned to walk well when they first learned to walk.
But the half-drooping eyes exchanged glances, but most of them were surprises. Because they all know that this is to change their errands.
Only Xiaohua has some thoughts, she doesn't know whether this change is good or bad.
After walking for a long time, she was confused, and Xiaohua said that she had a good memory, and she was also confused at this time.
Entering a courtyard, Aunt Qi led them to a stop, and after a while came out from the inside, a man wearing a small Usha top hat and a dark blue embroidered shirt with a white face and no beard. old people.
"Eunuch Fu, I brought you here, can you take a look?" Aunt Qi had a rare smile on her face, and the two of them looked very familiar.
The man named Eunuch Fu, with a helpless smile, stepped forward and looked at them all.
Everyone has to look at them for a while. These little palace people are young, and they will inevitably feel cramped after being looked at for a long time. Especially looking into the eyes of Eunuch Fu, he couldn't help but lowered his head in a panic.
Eunuch Fu shook his head when he saw one, and shook his head again when he saw another, Aunt Qi's heart became more and more heavy. The atmosphere at the scene was very strange, and everyone seemed to be able to hear their own 'bang bang bang' heartbeat.
Xiao Hua kept her eyelids half-drooping until she was enveloped by a dark shadow.
She could feel that Eunuch Fu was looking at her, and his eyes were extremely uncomfortable, as if he was going to cut the appearance inch by inch. Xiaohua couldn't help but raise her eyes, and just hit the other's eyes.
She wanted to lower her head, but after thinking about it, she still kept this posture, but moved her eyes down, her eyes and face half-drooping respectfully.
After a while, the dark shadow covering her moved to the next place.
Twelve people have finished watching, and it is time for a meal.
"How is it?" For some reason, Aunt Qi, who had always been calm and composed, had a hint of unease in her tone.
Eunuch Fu shook his head, until he saw the disappointment in Aunt Qi's eyes, and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's choose a few to serve first, it just so happened that I was dispatched there too."
Then, with a few flicks of his finger, he chose four, Xiaohua, Xier, Qiaolian, and a little palace man named Zhier.
Xiuyun, who was standing below, could not help clenching her hands.
Eunuch Fu looked very strange, he hesitated for a while, then looked again and again, raised his hand and pointed at two people. Among them were Xiuyun, and there was a little palace man named Mei Er.
"Just six."
Aunt Qi breathed a sigh of relief, her tone was obviously a little happy, she nodded to Eunuch Fu, and she was rarely in a good mood to appease the remaining few.
"Okay, don't be sad if you weren't selected, I'll arrange another errand for you." Then he turned to Xiaohua and said, "You all go with Eunuch Fu, do your job well, and don't make mistakes and be sent back. ."
"Yes."
