Chapter 34 The Library Building

The nameless courtyard is like a forgotten corner, in addition to ignoring them, and the subordinates of the palace deduct their daily life, eating, drinking, and wearing, the nameless courtyard is transcendent, but also unrestrained.

Under normal circumstances, Lige has to follow Mama Lu to read and write during the day, do manual work, and learn martial arts from Lao Zhangtou, all kinds of flowers, medicines and vegetables. Occasionally, they would follow the wooden women out of the palace, and take the handiwork they did or the plants they planted to sell or barter.

Some places where there are only people, there are rivers and lakes, and no matter how clean the nameless courtyard is, it can't resist the bear children. Yes, that's right, regardless of the rules of the adult world, bear children who can break into whatever they want.

After Lao Zhangtou learned that Mama Lu had a fever, he took Lige to the backyard to pick some herbs, and taught Lige while picking them. So she forgot all the knowledge she had learned on weekdays for a while. At this moment, he had calmed down, and he was going to the kitchen to decoct the herbs in his hand.

When Lige went back to the front yard, Granny Mu had already come back with water and filled the water tank, she was packing up some handkerchiefs and embroideries that Lige and Mama Lu had made in recent days, and planned to go to the embroidery village to sell them for money, and by the way, she grabbed two pills and came back. When she saw Lige coming back, she hurried out of the house, "That black fat boy from the Song family is here again, I think he will definitely come to you again in a while." ”

This kid of the Song family is the maiden nephew of Concubine Song of the palace, and Concubine Song's maiden family is in Yancheng, but I heard that she also lived with her grandparents in the capital Qitai when she was young, and she is also a childhood sweetheart with King Qi, and she has known each other since she was a child. In this palace, except for bringing Lige back with his own hands at the beginning, the prince no longer paid attention to it. Princess Qi instructed her subordinates to deduct the daily necessities of food, clothing, and shelter from Lige, but she did not show up for a confrontation with her own identity. The other side concubines and concubines have nothing to do with themselves, only Song side concubine is an outlier, I heard Mama Lu say that Song side concubine is holding a grudge, so she can only hide and can't resolve it. Only Concubine Song deliberately blocked the song in the back garden to embarrass her, but the child is very flexible and flexible, and often runs away from anyone as soon as he slips through the smoke.

Concubine Song's two daughters and one son are also very bad for Lige under the influence of their biological mother, but Lige rarely goes out of the courtyard, and the masters don't go to the back garden every day, so there are not many opportunities for everyone to meet.

Only the black and fat nephew of the Song family, who was deeply influenced by his aunt, every time he came to live in the palace, he personally brought people to the nameless courtyard to block people. Therefore, every time I hear that the little yaksha of the Song family is coming, Lige hides out in advance, and the left-behind Granny Mu, Lao Zhangtou and Mama Lu can pretend to be weak, no matter how angry they are, anyway, as long as it is not an unexpected encounter, Lige can always hide, and they can't find it even if they run all over the back garden.

Usually she hides in a corner of the back garden that no one else can find for a day, and waits until it gets dark and the corner doors are about to be locked, and then Shi Shiran goes back to her nameless courtyard. As for how to go back after locking the door after dark, there are naturally many ways to leave the song who has lived here since childhood.

Lige watched Mama Lu once, and told Granny Mu to decoct the medicine at home and feed Mama Lu to drink the medicine. After that, if you want to go out, let Lao Zhangtou help jump over the wall to open the door and lock in and out. Then Lige carried two steamed buns and a gourd of water, so he quickly locked the yard door and ran to the hidden place in the back garden. When I ran to the vicinity of the rockery, because I heard the human voice, I quickly hid in the rockery group, walked around, and listened to the sound of the arrogant Song Heipang squeaking. Lige pouted, a man (little boy) has eyes smaller than the tip of a needle, he can really do it.

There is a library building in the northeast corner of the back garden, and the caretaker here has a relationship with Granny Mu and Lao Zhangtou, and pretends to turn a blind eye to the entry and exit of Lige, as long as Lige does not take the books out of the library, they are all blind and blind.

Leaving the song and familiar with the door, he flashed into the library building, shook his hand with the old man guarding the door, and automatically ran to the third floor, smoked a book that he had read for a long time, and climbed to the attic like a monkey, closed the attic door panel, opened the skylight, and began to read in the daylight.

This attic is a very private place, there is no stairs to go directly, there is only one entrance, you need to open the door panel, climb up and you will find that there is a small room here, there is a skylight, clean and comfortable, and not afraid of being seen. Lige moved the wooden ladder of the library pavilion, climbed along the bookshelf, climbed to the beam, pushed the door panel, and climbed in. This secret hideout was told to her by Mama Lu.

The library building is a treasure trove in the eyes of Lige, there are a large number of books, but it is a place where few people have set foot in the attic, you can also look into the distance on the attic, there is no one in the back garden to walk in the direction of the library pavilion, at a glance, when no one comes, this is her small world alone, when someone comes, she will hold her breath, and others can not find her.

At this moment, when Lige hid in the attic, he could see a group of people led by Song Heipang walking towards the nameless courtyard. Lige has been hiding in the dark and staring at the movement of the nameless courtyard, and sure enough, after a while, they who couldn't find Lige left with a hula la, leaving a small guy to wait for the rabbit at the corner gate, so as to facilitate ventilation and reporting.

He hid under the window, read a book and recited it, and took a stick and wrote on the floor or windowsill or simply on the wall. The sun was just right, and I was in the attic, and I was a little drowsy from the song, and I looked at the people in the back garden who were looking for them everywhere like headless flies, and I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart, and I slept sweetly with the book in my hand.

In the middle of the day, Lige woke up rubbing his eyes and lying on the windowsill again, where two birds were jumping and chirping. Lige has had a special ability since she was a child, she can understand the language of animals, and what she says, animals can also feel and understand. At this time, listening to the song, the two birds were complaining that there were too many people in the back garden today, and many of their friends flew outside to play, and they were too lazy to fly away, so they found a relatively clean corner to be comfortable. Lige laughed and rolled his stomach when he heard it, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the end of the bamboo path leading to the library pavilion, where three or five young boys were talking and laughing and walking over. Lige secretly screamed "Oops", she quickly stuffed the books that had been brought from the shelves of the library in the morning into her arms, opened the door and flipped it down.

There is a rule in the library that all books cannot be taken out of the library, which means that no matter who comes to the library, they can only read and copy here. Lige was worried that the visitor just wanted to find the book in his hand, and if he couldn't find it for a while, it would cause trouble to Uncle Ding, who was guarding the door. So every time I saw someone coming to the library from afar, I quickly returned the book in my hand. Fortunately, this situation is very rare, as soon as the masters want to come to the library pavilion, they will notify Uncle Ding in advance to prepare for the reception. Seeing the little guy who hurriedly rushed to the library in front of the young masters, he must have hurried over to greet Uncle Ding as much as possible.

Lige is very flexible, and the book itself is also taken from the bookshelf on the third floor, so it is quickly put back in place, and then returned to the attic to hide it, and the attic window remains open, just in case, you can climb out of the skylight. How to climb these roads, how to jump, hide in hidden places, Lige from childhood to adulthood, I don't know how many times I have done it, after all, when a person is bored, he will spend a lot of effort to turn over and over his living environment to be familiar with, otherwise it is too boring to rarely go out. This game of hide-and-seek with herself, she is still addicted to it.

The guests of the palace, some of them are scholars, some are people who have practiced martial arts, and they are deaf and clear-sighted, so they often dare not act rashly when they encounter this situation, and obediently hide by the windowsill, while listening to the chats of the animals outside the window, while looking at the situation in the back garden outside the window from time to time.

It was a bad coincidence that two of the five young people who came stayed downstairs to look for their favorite books, and three actually climbed directly to the third floor, looking for books while looking at the scenery of the back garden by the window. Lige heard an unfamiliar voice say, "Today's back garden is really lively." Although he was raised in the outer courtyard by the prince of Qi at the age of three, he has always studied with famous teachers, and occasionally needs to go to the academy to study for a period of time, so he rarely sees him in the mansion on weekdays. It is estimated that the guests who came today are really distinguished guests, and the prince was actually sent by the prince of Qi to accompany the guests to visit the back garden.

Shizi's immature voice replied, "Song Zeran has always been domineering, he was spoiled by his family, and his aunt never controlled him. In and out of the words, he looked down on the Song family.

When the third person's voice sounded, it was someone who knew Lige, he should be the companion of the prince of Qi, Huang Furui, this guy is a side branch of the Wei Xingguo royal family, and his parents came to Zhaozhao Kingdom with the princess of Qi and Huangfu. Because of a bit of kinship, he has always been a confidant of Princess Qi. Huang Furui is fifteen years old this year, seven years older than the prince of Qi, and has been by his side since the prince of Qi was three years old, growing up together, and the relationship is very close.

Lige was very curious about the identity of the stranger, so he pricked up his ears to listen to their chat, only to hear Huang Furui introduce Song Heipang's life experience to this person in a very respectful voice, but he was vague about Song Heipang's troubles in the back garden, just saying that he was naughty and liked to make trouble every time he came to the back garden to play.

Hearing that Shizi and Huang Furui called this stranger Brother Jin, it can be seen that this person's surname is Jin. Lige recalled the genealogies of various families that Mama Lu asked her to recite, there are no more and no less surnames in Jin, it just so happens that one or two big families in each country are surnamed Jin, I don't know if this Jin Shi brother is from Zhaozhao Kingdom.
