"Hey, don't mention it, it's my bad luck." A Chou was poked in the heart. Sitting on the bed, while cutting Zhong Mingwei's beard, he talked to Zhong Mingwei about his unlucky experience in these years.
A Chou is not a born slave. Speaking of which, Ah Chou's background is not bad, at least she is the eldest daughter of an official family. It's just that this eldest lady doesn't have a happy life. In the 20th year of Jiasheng, when Ah Chou was four years old, his father, who was a speech officer, spoke aggressively. Offending the big shots above, Ah Chou's good luck ended, not to mention his parents were executed. She, a milk doll who just learned to talk and walk, became a court lady in a day. The hard journey of washing clothes in the Huanyi Bureau began.
But what kind of clothes can a four-year-old girl wash? Fortunately, the aunts and aunts in the Huanyi Bureau took care of her, a poor child with no parents, so Ah Chou grew up to be thirteen years old in the Huanyi Bureau.
At the age of thirteen, Ah Chou had a rare good luck. Relying on her sweet mouth, she can speak. She was recommended by the maid in charge of the Huanyi Bureau to go to the Yanxi Palace of Concubine Zhao, who is most favored by the Long Live God. Although she is still a court lady in lavender clothes, she has a grade after all. From then on, there is also a monthly salary to receive, although there is only a small amount of money every month. But the life of Yanxi Palace is much better than that of the Huanyi Bureau. Not to mention the higher cost of food and clothing, but there are rewards on every New Year's day. After a year, Ah Chou can save the money of Xiaoer Erliang. Although she has no use for spending money, who wants her to be a little stingy
It’s just that Ah Chou is used to being unlucky, and this time the good luck didn’t last long. After washing clothes in Yanxi Palace for two years, on the New Year’s Eve of Jiasheng’s 30th year, fireworks will be set off in the palace as usual, according to the ancestral system. , on this day, all the servants in the palace, regardless of their rank, can come to watch the fireworks, so all the palace people who usually only know how to do things with their heads down, rush to watch the fireworks at this time. Ah Chou didn't go, she stayed in the palace It's been eleven years, and she's tired of watching fireworks, so instead of going out to make trouble, she might as well take over the night watch and earn two dollars a night.
What's more, she didn't have the thoughts of other palace maids, she was dressed so beautifully, and her identity as a sin slave would be carried for a lifetime, so she naturally didn't have the extravagant hope of becoming a master once she succeeds.
It was too late. That night when Jingren Palace was flooded, Ah Chou dozed off in the wing room. He was awakened by the sound of "crackling" fires. The Palace of Yanxi Palace was separated by a wall, so she couldn't just sit idly by and was so busy carrying water that she passed by.
An hour later, the fire in Jingren Palace was finally extinguished with the efforts of all the guards and servants. Ah Chou's right arm was burned, from his right wrist to his arm to his shoulder and neck, and even his chin was licked by the flames. Next, the skin was really burnt and the flesh was torn apart. Ah Chou gritted her teeth and endured the pain and went back to the Palace of Yanxi Palace. It was excruciatingly painful, but thinking of the man who was dragged out of the sea of fire just now and dressed like her master, she still fantasized about this If you can get a blessing in disguise once, maybe you can get some rewards.
The next morning, Cuiping, Concubine Zhao's personal maid, came as expected, but she was not rewarded, but rather praised her for her sincerity and daring to be the first. Turn away.
Later, a little sister in a room secretly told Ah Chou, Ah Chou, you have caused trouble.
