Chapter 22 Combined into One
Yue Xi's words made several women who cried silently laugh, Xilai was only four or five years old, if she got married, it would take ten years to say the least, but wouldn't her hair have already grown! But now the dozen or so people in the palace are all hungry with their hearts against their backs, and they are shivering with cold, and no one is in the mood to play poor with her.
Looking down and seeing Xilai staring at him with a pair of dark eyes, Yue Xi bared his teeth at her: Aren't you afraid of me?
Every time she twitched her cheeks and showed a mouthful of eerie teeth, she was actually smiling. It's just that there is no meat under the thin skin on her face now, so her smile falls in the eyes of others, and she is grinning and trying to eat people!
No...... Be. Xilai tilted her head back vigorously, and almost reached out to push her away, Queen Mother, you ......
How is it? Yue Xi waited for her to say the following.
You stink! One mouth stinks to death! Xilai closed his eyes and covered his mouth and nose with his little hands, looking like he was at home.
…… Yue Xi opened his mouth to say something, but now he quickly closed it again. There is a little fever on the face.
Xilai was picked up by Su Jinyan from the bottom of the mountain, and although everyone was already poor and didn't have a meal, they still kept this little thing.
It's a life.
The concubines and ladies are all women, and they are originally soft-hearted, if they throw her down the mountain again, there is a good chance that this child will be gone for a long time. So everyone, you save a mouthful, I save a mouthful, and there is a lively little girl today
Children often say embarrassing facts when they speak.
For example, now, she said a fact that everyone smells: when the mother doesn't speak, it doesn't stink so much, and when she speaks, it ......
Hi Come!
Hi Come!
Gao Gonggong and Su Jinyan stopped her words at the same time, and then the two looked at Yue Xi together, with very embarrassed expressions on their faces, as if it was the two of them who had bad breath.
Hey! Looks like they're not afraid of me anymore. Yue Ximian did not change color, as if he liked to say someone else. She reached out and rubbed her scalp, which felt like she was touching sandpaper, prickly.
Xilai opened her eyes and turned her head to look at her, Yue Xi immediately opened her mouth wide and blew on her first, and after the child quickly covered her mouth and nose, she said idly You can bear it. It's warm inside the quilt, but now it's cold outside, and when you go out bareheaded like this, the little doll is very easy to get sick.
In his previous life, Yue Xi was a child who grew up in an orphanage.
There are always older children with smaller children, Yue Xi is the most patient when she takes care of those younger brothers and sisters who come later, she likes children, and with them, even she can become scheming.
…… Xilai looked at her with a small face, her eyes were exploring, and she felt the kindness in the eyes of the queen mother, and finally stopped struggling.
Although she is young, she is sensible early, and she can still distinguish between good and bad.
Thanks to you, stay tuned, I'm going to talk to everyone. After Yue Xi finished speaking, he took her in his arms again, and even wrapped her head tightly, leaving only a slit to gasp.
Grandpa Gao, it will be even colder in this courtyard in a while, let's talk quickly if we have something to say.
Be. Gao Wen saluted to Yue Xi and said: I sold the hair of the two of us for a hundred yuan, bought some miscellaneous grains, and a little salt.
Yo! There's salt! Several women didn't know how long it had been since they had eaten a delicious meal, and when they heard that Gawain had bought salt and returned, their eyebrows fluttered with joy.
Yue Xi's face was expressionless, he only sighed secretly, and said in his heart: These are all the women of the old emperor, what kind of life are they living.
As soon as this thought passed in her heart, she was immediately thrown away by herself, and it would not be bad to be alive. Who lives easily these days......
How long will this burden of food be enough for everyone to eat? Yue Xi has never been a home for so many people, and he doesn't know how much food this guy has for men and women, so he had to inquire with Gonggong Gao first.
Boil porridge, boil it thin, sprinkle a few grains of salt, and these people in the palace estimate that they can resist for three or four days. Father-in-law Gao lifted the burden in his hand again, and held his baby-like hands on his chest.
Now we're not just going to do these few people in the palace. Yue Xi looked at the beggars piled up at the gate of the courtyard and the donkey Nunu who was spewing white smoke out of his nostrils: plus them, they are all full, how many days can this grain be eaten?
Eat like this, only two meals. Father-in-law Gao checked the food in his baggage again, knowing that he was afraid that he would not be able to keep it.
Let's eat two meals. Yue Xi spoke.
It stands to reason that the queen's position in the palace is the most noble, she is the absolute master, since the master has spoken, he will do it, even if he has a business trip in the future, he will not be blamed.
But the problem is that the queen master has not done anything serious for so many years, except for thinking of ways to toss and make trouble!
Originally, after she 'died' a few days ago, it was a great relief to the people in the entire palace, although the days here were difficult, fortunately, everyone except her was reasonable, and everyone was just surviving for a long time.
Now it's a good thing, before the joy in everyone's hearts has passed, she has come back to life, and she has eaten with one more mouth, and has brought back more than a dozen people and a donkey......
Alas! God don't open your eyes, damn it! , Gao Gonggong muttered silently in his heart, and reluctantly handed the food in his hand to the cloud painting: Just do what Niangniang instructs.
All the people's eyes moved from the hand of Gonggong Gao to the hand of Yun Hua with the burden. But no one spoke.
They all knew that they should listen to Grandpa Gao at this time, save food, and endure for a few more days, but the hunger in their stomachs crushed their reason.
I just thought: Since it is the master of that woman, a full meal is a meal.
Empress? Yun Hua has a steady temperament, and knows how to advance and retreat, she took the food handed over by Gao Gonggong with both hands, and still persuaded cautiously: The slave knows that you are distressed and wants them to have a comfortable meal. But now our life in the mountains is too difficult, and we have to calculate and use it when we have food......
Don't calculate. Yue Xi sat more and more cold, her body was too thin, she was not resistant to frost at all, and she was a little warm when she held Xilai in her arms, if she could have any wish now, it was to drink a sip of hot porridge to let her body slowly freeze.
Just listen to me, divide the food into two meals, and deal with the past today. Tomorrow's will be talked about tomorrow. As she spoke, her eyes swept over the heads of the concubines, as if to see who had more hair.
Don't worry about eating a few meals, Queen, don't beat us by the hair! Jiang Lan couldn't hold her breath, she was seen by Yue Xi as having no bottom in her heart, she usually didn't beat around the bush when she spoke, and she would say it when she had something to say.
Hey! Or is it still a concubine, you really reminded me. Yue Xi rubbed Xilai's bald head with his hand and said badly: All the concubines and mothers are all in the peak of spring and autumn, and their hair is black and thick......
Empress! Su Jinyan saw that she really had the idea of the hair on other people's heads again, and hurriedly took a step forward to persuade her to extinguish this idea.
Veterinarian Su, you have a share in this matter. You take off your hat and let me see if it's okay with my hair. Yue Xi looked at him with a smile, waiting to see his reaction.
Ahem! Su Jinyan closed his mouth, blushing in embarrassment, he didn't know what to say to her, and he felt faintly molested in his heart.
When this bit of food is eaten, let's take off the plaque of the palace, change 'such a mountain villa' to 'such a Zen temple', and then shave everyone's hair, I will be the abbot, you will follow me down the mountain to make fate...... Hehe......
Yue Xi said a serious matter, especially the last few laughs were creepy, and he only made everyone present stupid.
Niangniang, there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the temple, and our villa is not a temple after changing its name. Xilai poked her head out of her chest and stretched her neck long, avoiding her chin.
Oh, I know a lot! Yue Xi fished her back and put it back in his arms: It's easy to do without a statue of Buddha and Bodhisattva, when the time comes, let's find a brightly colored quilt for your master to put on and sit on the incense table. Then place an incense burner in front of him, and someone will burn it!
Xilai opened his mouth and turned his head to look at Gao Gonggong, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the master with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks was not as solemn as the Buddha and Bodhisattva in the temple, but it was really the same as what Niangniang said, the master was white-faced and beardless.
Mother, this can't be helped! The old slave doesn't dare to blaspheme! Gao Gonggong threw himself to the ground in fear, lest the woman opposite had something wrong, and forced himself to do it tomorrow morning, it would be terrible!
Alright, alright, get up. Yue Xi glanced at Xia Ran, and motioned for her to help Gao Wen, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing: Isn't this just a joke, I scared you.
A cold wind blew, and the ground was cleaned clean, and nothing was rolled up, only making people feel cold in front of their faces.
Yue Xi looked at the blank expressions on everyone's faces, and he was no longer in the mood to laugh.
Xia Ran, let's go cook porridge, everyone is okay and go to the dining room to stay, where the fire can be warmer.
Be. Kasumi took the burden from Yun Hua's hand, gave a salute and walked towards the dining room.
After listening to her nonsense for a long time, she finally said a serious word, and everyone gave her face, and followed together, and then dragged and dragged in groups to follow Xia Ran to the dining room.
Go along. Yue Xi opened the quilt wrapped in front of him and released Xilai: Yunhua, go back and look for it, see if there is anything else to cover this child's head, don't freeze frostbite.
Well. Yunhua was stunned for a moment, but he hurriedly responded, and his voice was full of joy. Such a young lady is the young lady of the past, who is so good to everyone and cares about everyone......
Let's go back to the dormitory and rest. Seeing that Niangniang wanted to stand up with the door frame, Yun Hua hurriedly pulled her up with great effort.
Gao Gonggong. Yue Xi stopped Gao Wen, who was walking in the direction of the dining room in a dejected manner: arrange a place for them to live.
She pointed to those who were still stunned at the door and said: In the future, when the two of us are in one place, we will be a family.
