Chapter 247: Reed
Leng Yue and Yan Yuese asked, "May I ask where is Grandma Wang?"
While he was talking, an old woman came out of the room in a panic. The old woman www.biquge.info a little rich, saw Leng Yue, hurriedly came up, with a body of wine, hiccuped, accompanied by Xiao Shili and said: "The old body is Grandma Wang, meet the Sanjiu girl, the old body is about to send something to the Sanjiu girl, but for a while and a half, I can't pull away, there are too many miscellaneous things, but I didn't expect you to come first, really, let the Sanjiu girl come to the door in person, this is the dereliction of duty of the old body, please forgive the sin." ”
Leng Yue saw that her face was flushed, and she smelled a smell of wine, she couldn't help frowning and ignored it, and walked into the house, and also saw a table of wine and food, which had already eaten a mess, and there were several old women sitting on the left, and when she saw her, she stood up and lowered her head. Accompanied by Xiao Shili and said, "The old man greets the girl." ”
Leng Yue turned her head, looked at Grandma Wang, who followed up, and said, "It turns out that you are busy drinking, but I am disturbing you." ”
This sentence made Grandma Wang kneel on the ground and kowtow with a sigh of panic, saying: "The old body should die, the old body should die." ”
From the reaction of this princess, Leng Yue knew that the disciple of the outer sect of Zhuangshang had a high status, and in front of these servants, he should have a very strong power, so he would scare this person and the mother-in-law who was in charge of affairs like this.
So Leng Yue said lightly: "Where is the medicine boy who was assigned to me?"
Wang Po hurriedly said: "This, this is not decided, the girl chooses it herself, outside, there are more than a dozen maids, and the girl can do any of them." ”
Leng Yue didn't say much, ignored Grandma Wang, who was kneeling on the ground, and stepped out of the door and into the courtyard.
More than a dozen maids stood with their hands down, standing there with their eyebrows lowered, not daring to look at her.
Leng Yue was about to ask them to raise their heads and look at them one by one, looking for a medicine boy, when she saw a weak girl at the back of the house, carrying a huge bucket, constantly exchanging her left and right hands, and staggering over like a flower arrangement.
She was too thin, and the bucket of water was almost full, too heavy for her thin body, and she had to keep exchanging her left and right hands to carry water to move forward.
Suddenly, the girl found that the maids in the courtyard were all standing with their heads bowed, without saying a word, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and when she looked up, she saw the cold moon standing in the field.
She also knew that there was a newly accepted outer disciple in the village, and he was also half of their master, and the outer disciples were all high and domineering, and it was easy and frequent to beat and scold, so she couldn't help but be surprised, and she tripped over the potholed stone road without paying attention, and fell forward with a bang, and the bucket of water was also poured out with a bang, all the way to the feet of Leng Yue.
Seeing this scene, Wang Po, who had already gotten up and followed out, couldn't help but be furious: "You damn girl, you dare to splash water on the Sanjiu girl, you really don't want to live." With that, he grabbed a flat pole next to him, rushed up and hit the thin girl who fell to the ground.
The woman just held her head in her hands, curled up on the ground, didn't dare to cry, and silently endured the hard beating on her body.
Leng Yue said in a deep voice: "Stop!"
Wang Po hurriedly stopped, put the flat burden on the wall, and said to Leng Yue with a hunched waist: "Sanjiu girl, it is the old body that is not disciplined effectively, and I ask you to forgive you Sanjiu girl." ”
Leng Yue ignored her, walked to the girl who was huddled on the wet bluestone slab with her head in her arms, and saw that she was thin and shivering in the cold wind, so she reached over and helped her up.
The girl was obviously frightened enough, her face was pale, her body was shaking, she bit her lip, and looked at him in horror.
Leng Yue gave him a sweet smile and said, "What's your name?"
"Reed ......"
"How do you call it that?"
Perhaps it was Leng Yue's kind attitude and sweet smile that made the girl feel warm, and she became a little bolder, so she said: "My mother said that when she gave birth to me, she was fishing in the reeds, and the fishing boat was surrounded by reeds, so she called this name. ”
It turned out to be a hard-working baby, and her mother was about to go fishing on the lake.
So Yang Xianmao combed the messy hair on her head and said, "Are you willing to be my medicine boy?"
Being able to be a medicine boy is much better than a miscellaneous servant, although when encountering a bad-tempered outer disciple, he may not suffer less sin than being a miscellaneous servant, but he finally has a chance to change his fate, not to mention that with the outer disciple, of course, his status is higher than that of the miscellaneous servant, so they are all looking forward to this errand, but they didn't expect it to fall on this poor little maid who carries water, and the dozen or so maids standing next to him have a jealous look in their eyes.
Lu Wei'er was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, so she quickly nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, of course you are willing! ”
Leng Yue nodded, stood up, and said to Wang Po, "I want her." ”
Wang Po hurriedly nodded in agreement, and instructed the maid to take out a few sets of snow-white robes from the house, personally hold them and send them to Leng Yue and said, "This is the girls' robes, girl, if you want to lack anything, just let the reeds come and get it." - This girl is really good and can be liked by the girl. ”
Lu Wei'er hurriedly reached out to pick up the robe, but was stopped by Leng Yue and said to her, "Go and bring your things, then come with me." ”
Lu Er hurriedly agreed, ran into the side room like a fly, and soon took a blue cloth package and carried it on his shoulder. The wet clothes on his body had already been changed, so he took the robe from Leng Yue's hand and held it in his hand, smiled at Leng Yue, and said, "Girl, there is also an alchemy furnace and some medicinal materials, I will get them later." ”
Leng Yue nodded, and left the handyman room with Reed, returning to her stone house. Take out the robe and change it on your body, the robe is very wide, and there is a seal script on the back and the upper part of the left chest in front of you, which is bright red. It is particularly dazzling against the background of moon white.
There are thirty-nine characters embroidered under the Xuanzi on the left chest. Originally, the robes were numbered so that it was easy to identify whose it was.
After Leng Yue changed into it, she shook her long sleeved robe, thinking that she really looked like a monk.
When Leng Yue was changing clothes, Lu Wei'er ran back to the miscellaneous room as quickly as a fly, and soon carried a large wooden box, and after opening it, took out a bronze alchemy furnace from it. There was also a large bag of charcoal fire, as well as a blower.
Leng Yue didn't expect her to be so thin at such a young age, but she got so many things back at once. But remembering the big bucket of water she just lifted, the bucket was almost half a person's height for her, and it was certainly a little easier to do these things now than to carry a large bucket of water just now.
Inside the big box was a thin book with the words "Alchemy Method" written in seal script. When I opened it, I saw that there were some basic common sense and skills of alchemy engraved printing. It turns out that this is the standard introductory book for outer disciples, and since it is stereotyped printing, it should not be regarded as a real secret book. However, non-Xuanqi Sect disciples can't get it. Bao Erniang also told her to keep it alive.
Lu Wei'er said: "Girl, in the future, you will work hard for yourself, and you will leave the food and drink to Lu Wei'er." ”
Leng Yue nodded, walked out of the stone house with the book, sat down cross-legged on a flat bluestone slab, opened the book, and slowly flipped through it in the sound of the waves.
She had an excellent memory, and she could never forget it, and she had read all the books in half an hour, and she already knew them by heart.
At this moment, a faint bell rang in the distance.
Lu Wei'er hurriedly came out and said to Leng Yue: "Girl, the order for dinner has arrived, I'll go and get it back." With that, he ran like a nimble antelope to Shantang.
After only a few moments, Lu Wei'er came back with a food box and said to Leng Yue, who was sitting cross-legged on the bluestone slab, "Girl, eat while it's hot." ”
With that, he took all the food out of the food box and placed it on the wooden table in the stone house. Leng Yue walked over, sat down on the chair, and saw that there was only a pair of chopsticks on it, so she said, "What about yours?"
Lu Er hurriedly said: "This is the girl's meal, after the slave and maid have finished serving the girl, they will send the dishes and chopsticks back, and then bring the slave and maid's." This is the rule of the sect. ”
It turned out that there was such a particular attention, since the rules were like this, Leng Yue didn't say more, seeing that the meal was two meat and two vegetarian, and it was also exquisite, and the rice was fragrant, so he quickly finished eating. Then he said to Lu Wei'er: "You go to eat, I'll take a walk casually, I want to go to the third sister to have a look." ”
Lu Wei'er hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the slave can go to eat at any time." Accompany the girl to the third girl first. ”
Leng Yue smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry at this moment. That's it, I haven't finished this book yet, I'll read it first, you hurry up to eat, and we'll go back after eating. ”
Lu Er agreed, and ran towards Shantang with a food box. After a while, he ran back and said, "Girl, the slave and maid have finished eating, so let's go." ”
Leng Yue said: "Don't always be a slave and a slave, just call yourself 'me'." Our master and servant don't need to be so polite. ”
Reed nodded gratefully in agreement, "Yes!"
"Why did you finish eating so quickly?"
"I eat fast. ”
Leng Yue thought to herself, this girl must be afraid of delaying her business, so she hurriedly ate the meal. It seems that in the future, it will not be possible to arrange other things at the meal point, lest this honest child be in a hurry and not have enough to eat.
Leng Yue took the reeds and followed the path to the row of stone houses outside the inner house, but she was not stopped by someone like before, until she came to the door of the stone house and knocked on the door, a maid came out, and when she saw her, she quickly blessed her and said: "The slave has seen the girl, the girl must be the new Sanjiu girl, I don't know what to order?"
Leng Yue said: "Leng Yue came to meet the third senior sister, I don't know if it is convenient for the senior sister?"
The maid said, "Our girl went to a girl's place to discuss the matter of the alchemy competition in three days. ”
"Oh, by the way, what's going on with this alchemy competition?"
Lu Wei'er hurriedly said: "The sect has to hold an alchemy competition every quarter, usually at the beginning of each season, and this time it is on the day of the beginning of winter. The disciples have to compete in alchemy skills, and the masters, wives, and elders of the sect have to decide the rewards and punishments according to the performance of the girls. If the performance is particularly excellent, it will be accepted as an inner disciple. Therefore, all the girls are very attentive and hone day and night. ”
