After going to the palace to give thanks, the ten beauties were taken by the chamberlain to the lady of Yue Wang Yayu to listen to the teaching.

Yayu is known as "Mrs. Jun", she loves the king of Yue deeply, and once went to Wu with Gou Jian as a slave, and was bullied, but she has never left Gou Jian, and Gou Jian together to guide the subjects to work hard to develop the domestic people's livelihood, so that the Yue country is strong and prosperous. He is Gou Jian's right-hand man and is quite loved by his subjects.

The people whom Yayu received in the dormitory were dressed in the solemn robes of the queen. After seeing that the beauties had arrived, she got up and said, "My sisters are the best girls in our country, and they should have been under the knees of our parents and spent their lives in Yueguo." However, the king of Wu issued an edict, requiring the Yue Kingdom to offer the most beautiful women, so that you had to marry the Wu Kingdom far away. This is all the fault of me and the king, and our people have to suffer this. However, King Wu is lustful, the country of Yue is weak, and the king has no other way but to rely on the sisters to get one or two favors, for the sake of the grace of the homeland, he always advises King Wu that if there is news that is not good for the country, he can try to be accommodating one or two, and protect his parents and fellow villagers in his hometown. The king and I are grateful. Yayu thanked you in advance. Then he bowed to the crowd.

How dare everyone accept the great gift after a country, and they are busy bowing down one after another, saying that they are born as a Yueguo person, and they are a Yueguo ghost when they die, and they dare not forget the nurturing grace of their homeland wherever they go. It is a personal blessing to be able to do a small contribution to the country. If you can help Yue Guo, you will naturally smear your liver and brain, and you will die.

Yayu said with satisfaction: "In this case, Yayu must do her best to help her sisters get the favor of King Wu, and also avoid the harem from being overturned, and make sacrifices in vain." The sisters must also help each other, and must not fight with each other, hurt their own people, and cheapen outsiders. ”

Everyone only promises.

"In my opinion, a true beauty must have three conditions, one is beauty, the second is good singing and dancing, and the third is posture. You have their own merits, but if you don't do your best, you may not be able to guarantee favor. Therefore, in the next two years, I will personally send my capable grandmother and the Rite and Music Division to teach you singing and dancing, walking, etiquette, etc. I hope you will practice diligently and live up to my expectations and those of the king. ”

All the beauties saluted and thanked them. Xi Shi has always been hidden in the crowd and has not come out.

In his previous life, Xi Shi was betrayed by Fan Li and fell into the hands of King Goujian of Yue, and swore that he would not want to sleep. Gou Jian was annoyed and angry, and wanted to threaten Xi Shi's parents, but it was Yayu who persuaded him. However, then she said to Xi Shi: "The great cause of revenge of the Yue Kingdom has just been completed, but the king has repeatedly moved his liver for a woman. Besides, you have the color of a calamity to the country, and Wu Guogang died for you. The country simply cannot afford to take the risk. So you have to die, and your parents, the state will feed them. ”

Then Yayu coldly ordered the guards to tie Xi Shi with a silk silk, tie it with stones, and throw it into the West Lake.

The original owner didn't hate Yayu. But I was unwilling. There is nothing wrong with Gou Jian's revenge, and it is not wrong for Yayu to start from the country with his words and deeds. But why should you let yourself be a complete victim? Why should you be betrayed after paying for a while? Why can't you live a good life?

Yue Guo is not his own, and Yue Wang and Fan Li and others are not kind to themselves, and all their help and support are completely used. My own life, because I fell in love with the wrong person, was involved in the love and hatred of others, and it became a pitiful tragedy. rose to prominence because he was used, and died because he was used up.

Yayu arranged for them to be placed in a remote palace near the Reiji Division. After the defeat of the Yue Kingdom, the harem never added concubines, and the Yue Wang and his wife cut a large number of palace people, so that there are only a few concubines and a small number of necessary palace maids who followed the Yue King in the early years in the palace, and they live in several adjacent palaces. The other palaces, except for the palace maids who sprinkled and sweeped, did not go on weekdays, and they were gradually desolate.

The beauties live in a remote place close to the Rite and Music Division, which is also for the convenience of management and teaching. The view inside the palace is good. Pavilions and flowing water, strange stones and flowers. The two live in a small courtyard, and the ten beauties live in the left and right side halls, and usually train in the main hall.

In addition to the palace maids who manage their daily lives, Yayu gave each person a personal palace maid, and she will follow them to serve after leaving the palace in the future.

Needless to say, these personal palace maids were all trained and selected, not only to help them, but also to be the eyes and ears of King Yue.

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan's personal palace maids are called Xianglan and Hongguo respectively.

In her previous life, Xianglan accompanied Xi Shi until the end of King Yue's successful revenge, and was her right-hand man in her "spy" career. But after Xi Shi fell into the hands of Gou Jian, he disappeared.

After Zheng Dan's death, Hongguo tried his best to identify King Wu for living up to Zheng Dan's deep affection, and abandoned it from beginning to end, knowing that Zheng Dan was pregnant and sick, he didn't give her medicine and instructed the palace people to treat Zheng Dan harshly and torture him to death.

Obviously, these two people are loyal to the Yue Kingdom, but they are not loyal to Xi Shi and Zheng Dan.

However, Xi Shi Zheng Dan and the others can't express their unease with them now, otherwise it will only arouse the suspicion of King Yue and the queen. Not only that, but it inevitably aroused their vigilance, and they had to rely on them a lot in this palace and after going to Wu.

After that, the ladies practiced singing and dancing in the palace and in the ceremonial music department.

One day half a month later, after the girls finished practicing and dancing in the Lile Division, when they were resting, a gray-clothed attendant came to Xi Shi and Zheng Dan and said: "Two beauties, the nobles are invited, please come down!"

Xi Shi Zheng Dan and the two glanced at each other, and their hearts were clear, so they said: "Tired to lead the way!"

The attendant took them to a secluded palace and withdrew. There was a white-robed man standing in front of him, it was Fan Li.

Xi Shi put on an excited look at the right time, and shouted sweetly: "Brother Young Uncle!"

Fan Li stroked Xi Shi's hair dotingly, and asked, "How are you two in the palace during this time?"

"Brother Lao is worried, it's okay. Xi Shi said, "I just thought of staying away from my homeland, and the future was unpredictable, and I was very worried." He looked sad.

"Don't worry too much, our people will pave the way for you. Fan Li soothed, "I came today to surprise the two of you." ”

"What surprise?" Xi Shi raised his sparkling eyes, and his mind was racing: according to the memory of his previous life, Fan Li should have brought the parents of the two.

"You two can come with me. Fan Li immediately turned around and took Xi Shi and Zheng Dan into a carriage.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the Fan House. The Fan family has been in business for generations and can be called wealthy. However, under the current state shape, it is also a collection of extravagance and luxury, and all the valuable belongings are put away, but the ornamental architecture can still see some heritage, and the whole house looks simple and atmospheric.

Fan Li took Xi Shi Zheng Dan and the others to an elegant side courtyard, where there was also a rockery and a small fish pond to feed a few red carp. Entering the main hall, Xi Shi Zheng Dan saw the four old men sitting in the guest seats.

"Father, Mother!" Xi Shi and Zheng Dan shouted in unison and pounced on their respective parents.

Xi Shi's father stroked his daughter's hair and said in a trembling voice: "Child, you have suffered!"

"The daughter is not bitter, but the father and mother are bothered for the child!" Xi Shi hugged the crying mother and replied, "By the way, father, mother, why are you here?",

"This is thanks to Master Fan. After you left, your mother and I were very worried when we saw the letter you left under the pillow. Later, I discussed with your Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng that they wanted to go to Kyoto to see you, but because your mother was weak and had no money, she couldn't make the trip. Fortunately, Master Fan left a manpower, and he helped us every now and then, and told us the news of the two of you. Half a month ago, Master Fan came to us and said that you fainted because you missed us, and you hope to take us to live in Kyoto, and you two can rest assured. Let's sum it up. Your Uncle Zheng and I have only one girl, you and Dan'er, respectively, and we can rest assured that we are by your side, so we have come to Kyoto. Father Shih Tzu said carefully,

"It's all daughters who are unfilial, dragging down their father and mother. Xi Shi frowned slightly.

"What are you talking about! The coarse linen clothes and rope straw sandals we wear at home, here we wear silk and satin, delicate boots, and good food and drink, that is, we are here to enjoy happiness, and where is it a drag?" said Xi Shi's father with a glare.

Xi Shi knew in his heart that at this time, people had a strong sense of locality, and they were reluctant to leave their homeland. Moreover, the climate of the two places is different, and the journey must have suffered a lot. Although they eat and drink well, they live in other people's homes, even if no one treats them harshly, where can they have their own home? My father said this to comfort himself. The eye circles are slightly red.

Fan Li stepped forward and said: "Two sisters, rest assured, I will definitely treat my uncles and aunts as my own fathers to be filial, and I will not let them suffer any grievances." ”

"Thank you Master Fan!" Zheng Dan said gratefully.

"The two sisters are like my own sisters, your high hall is my high hall, how can I say the word 'thanks'. Fan Li said with a high-sounding sound, "You talk slowly, I'll go to the family banquet, the uncles and aunts have just arrived, and the little nephew will wash the dust for you." Then he stepped back.

Xi Shi Zheng Dan and their respective parents complained to each other, telling them about their own experiences during this time. Of course, he didn't mention going to Wu to be a spy, but he only said that after being selected as a beauty, he was received by the king and queen, and he is currently living in the palace. Fan Li treats them like confidants, takes care of them many times, and asks their parents to live here with peace of mind.

In fact, it doesn't work if you don't live down, Fan Li's move is ostensibly to reunite the two with their parents, but in fact, it is also the meaning of putting their parents by their side.

Naturally, Shih Tzu will not say this. Several old people are simple people, they are not good at concealment, if they are revealed, it is not good, it is better to be confused.

In the evening, several people reunited for a feast, and there was no need to mention the banquet of laughter.
