Although I walked slowly, I finally walked out of the cloister. Helian Wangbei suddenly took a breath and slowly stopped. Murong Yuxin was puzzled why, because she asked, "Hey, why don't you leave?" ”

"Well, the palace is arranging the selection of candidates for the second lady these days, and I already have a list here, but I haven't had time to hand it over to you yet." Helian Wangbei's words surprised Murong Yuxin. But she quickly came back to her senses and grinned, "That's good, but I don't know if I can choose you?" ”

It was quiet for a long time, and Helian Wangbei was just silent. Murong Yuxin seemed to sense his unhappiness, and hurriedly said, "That, I may not mean that, after all, you are a housekeeper, well, that, but I think if ......"

The housekeeper of the Huainan Palace's mansion did feel a little unhappy, but he still suppressed his feelings and explained in a gentle tone, "The selection of the young ladies is usually selected from the low-level attendants, if they are successfully selected, the rank will be directly raised by one level, and from then on, it is the close follower of the young ladies, and they are rarely replaced." ”

"Oh, that's it." Murong Yuxin obviously didn't look very interested.

"On this list for the second lady to choose, there is an attendant named Jixiang, he has entered the palace since he was a child, and the conditions are very good in all aspects, but because he accidentally broke his leg when he was a child, although he was treated, it was fine, but he left a small disability, that is, he walked, little by little, and it was not very convenient......"

"Yes, yes, you don't have to go into such detail, do you want me to keep him with me?"

The butler's face couldn't help but be a little scornful, and he had no choice but to answer honestly, "Yes." I hope that the second lady can be fulfilled. Auspicious people have always been refined, but because of that little flaw, they have not been able to be looked at by the masters. But now that he was of the age to be transferred, if he couldn't be taken in, he had to wait to be sent out. ”

Murong Yuxin said strangely, "What is sending out again?" ”

"It's the expenditure of the palace, if you're lucky, maybe you can marry into a small family, be a houseman, and live a dull life. What I'm worried about is that Jixiang has a disability and no serious people will want him, so he will have to be sold to the men's market. In that case, it would be so miserable that he would be resold until no one wanted it anymore. ”

Alas, isn't this all a copy of the slave society of the world from which I came? Murong Yuxin thought in her heart, it seems that there are not many problems in this female world, and it is still in the barbaric era of human trafficking and trading men as goods. In this context, as a man, especially a man with a disability, his tragic fate can be imagined.

In this case, as a civilized person from a different time and space in the future, you can still help if you can. However, then again, this favor can't be in vain, right? Therefore, Murong Yuxin nodded and said, "Okay, I promised to keep him with me, but, in exchange, you must also agree to my request!" ”

The housekeeper hesitated slightly, but still agreed, "Okay, if you need help with anything, please don't hesitate to ask for it." ”

"Well, you don't have to be so serious, like a great enemy, right? Hehe, listen carefully, Miss Ben's condition is ......" Murong Yuxin smiled lightly, "Hey, Helian Wangbei, do you remember my words, which is my nickname?" ”

"Uh......" The butler said in his heart that he remembered it, but it was inconvenient to call you a straight call. He thought for a moment, didn't pronounce the two words, but nodded.

"Good!" Murong Yuxin said, "It's decided." Listen carefully, Miss Ben, my condition is that if there are no outsiders in the future, you will have to call me by my nickname! ”

Helian looked at the north for a moment and said, "This-"

Murong Yuxin let him hesitate any longer, "Okay?" Helian Wangbei, I can tell you, if you refuse to listen to me, then you don't want me to promise to help you! Hey, since I said goodbye to my dad, no one has called me that for a long time, it's so empty, lonely and cold. ”

What kind of person is this, is there such a coercion of others? But the housekeeper couldn't help but compromise with her, "Okay, Second Miss, I'll just listen to you." ”

"Well, that's what it sounds like!" Murong Yuxin tilted her head, "Butler, there is no one else here now, how can you call me?" ”

"Uh......" The butler stretched out his tongue and moistened his dry lips, and it took a while to hold back those two words, "Shallow......"

Murong Yuxin smiled brightly and said, "Well, Helian Wangbei, according to me, you might as well surrender your identity and become a low-level attendant." ”

"What do you mean by this, Second Miss!" Helian Wangbei was a little breathless.

"Wouldn't it be nice that you could be on that list, and I could choose you to stay with you?" Murong Yuxin was playing with her wishful thinking.

The housekeeper didn't answer, and he felt more and more that this second lady's idea was too strange and inexplicable. How could a normal person have so many strange thoughts from her. Although she had just promised to help him think she was very human, it didn't stop him from having such thoughts.

"Oh, yes," Murong Yuxin suddenly muttered to herself again, explaining to herself, "Mother must have spent a lot of effort and energy to train you to be such an outstanding person, she will definitely not approve your demotion." In this way, my approach is not working. ”

Speaking of this, the second young lady with the honorable surname Murong Daming Xin sighed lightly, "Of course, I also know that you must be unwilling to be demoted, how can you let go of the housekeeper and be a little attendant?"

However, Helian Wangbei, I can tell you that if you follow me, it is not such a simple and boring day to stay in the palace every day, serving tea and water, and arranging the family. When I'm old enough, I'll take you out into the open sky. Let's appreciate the vastness of the world's rivers and lakes and the wonder of the wind and clouds. We can go wherever we want, and do whatever we want. Free and uninhibited. The world is big, and it crisscrosses the four seas! ”

Listening to Murong Yuxin's eloquent speech, Helian Wangbei's heart seemed to move, but he immediately shook his head again, with a faint bitterness on his face.

"Why, are you equally fascinated by this kind of life?" Murong Yu was pleased to see that the housekeeper seemed to be moved, so he asked him with a smug face.

Helian Wangbei shook his head gently, "Second Miss, what you said does sound good, but unfortunately, I, Helian Wangbei, was born with a man's body." ”

"Hey, it's a boy? So what? Murong Yuxin disagreed.

Helian Wangbei sighed softly, "Since you are a man, you should naturally be a wife and a child, take care of family affairs, and abide by the husband's way in the boudoir." How can you just run around outside and show your head? ”

"Look at what you're saying! Who dares to say that men are born to marry and have children when they grow up, and serve the stove from now on? If you think about it, didn't the emperor issue an edict recently, and men in the world, as long as they have something to learn in their chests, can also participate in scientific examinations. Doesn't this mean that both men and women have the same opportunity and the same obligation to earn fame and make meritorious contributions to the country? ”

What the second lady said, Helian Wangbei naturally knew. It's just that he sees something else that the other party has overlooked. After Murong Yuxin finished speaking, the housekeeper Fang smiled slightly and said, "Second Miss, the emperor's edict can't be said to have been promulgated recently. But since it was issued, how many men have taken the exam?

Instead of encouraging those men who dared to take the exam, they ridiculed and made things difficult from many sides, so that many people who were eager to take the test retreated. What's the use?

Besides, if a man is an official and holds authority, the powerful of the country will have to worry about the changes and the wives will be depressed. Therefore, these people will never sincerely pursue the emperor's new policy. ”

"Well, there seems to be some truth to what you're saying. But whether it is a man or a woman, do you have to tie yourself to the stereotypes that have not been changed for thousands of years? ”

Murong Yuxin thought about it and said, "A thousand-year-old custom can bind your future, but it can't bind your own heart. Helian Wangbei, no matter how much society puts all kinds of obstacles on you, but your fate is always in your own hands. As long as you have a heart that desires to fly, then these three thousand red dust, how can the future stop you from being free and uninhibited. Since the temple can't let you show your ambitions, then why don't you put your feet in the rivers and lakes and swim between heaven and earth, it's not a good thing! ”

"Well, in that case," Helian Wangbei said slowly after pondering, "maybe that's a good choice, but it's a little too far away for my current life. ”

The long talk between the two finally came to an end, Murong Yuxin thought about it, and felt that she had nothing to say for a while, so she shook her head lightly, shook his sleeve, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, you better lead the way comprehensively." I've spent so much time with you just now, I'm sleepy. ”

Chapter 4 Doing Favors

The day when Murong Yuxin chose to serve soon came. The twenty or so low-level attendants who had entered the candidate list in the Huainan Royal Mansion lined up in order early in the morning, waiting for the selection of the second lady.

Huainan Wangfu is a famous family of military generals, almost all dynasties have had a decisive party of the famous generals, is to be given by the emperor to seal Huainan, hereditary inheritance, is the dynasty in the prestige of the famous nobles. One hundred years ago, the empire was in turmoil, the rebel party was huge, sweeping half of the world, the Huainan royal family was ordered to be in danger, and took command of the rebellion.

However, the Murong clan also suffered heavy losses because of this, and more than half of Murong's children slept forever and did not return to their hometowns. After this battle, the Huainan royal family withered and lost the glory of the heyday. In this dynasty, the only one who has influence in the government and the opposition is Murong Chengxuan, the king of Huainan. Although the daughter Murong Xu is heroic and has the demeanor of a mother, after all, her qualifications are still young and she is not expected by the public.

Since the Murong family lacks people, it is natural for Murong Yuxin to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Although the subordinates in the mansion acted recklessly, the second lady, who was always a little confused, didn't treat her very well, but she still didn't dare to have any collision. For the things that are elected to her room, she also has a certain enthusiasm.

But Murong Yuxin didn't have any interest in the matter of the attendant at all, but since he had already agreed to help Helian Wangbei, he had to bring the attendant named Jixiang over.

Looking at these attendants lined up on standby, Murong Yuxin was thinking crankily in her heart, coming to this world of female dignity was really confusing enough. These attendants are too much of a mess, such a big man sticks to his side all day long, it's enough to think about it. Besides, I came here in a daze, maybe when will I be able to go back? So, you don't need to be too careful at this time, you can just deal with the past.

The second lady slipped back and forth in front of the attendants a few times, and casually beckoned a maid on standby next to her and asked, "There is a little maid called auspicious, do you know which one?" ”

The maid looked out into the crowd and said, "Good luck is not there. ”

"Strange thing, don't I have his name on this list? What's going on? ”

"Maybe you're still busy with something." The maid bit her lip and said, "His legs and feet are a little inconvenient, so he has to do things a little slower than ordinary people." ”

"Well, where is he now? I'll go and see him. ”

"Huh?" The maid was obviously surprised by Murong Yuxin's decision, and she didn't know what to do for a while. An elderly woman who had been listening to it for a long time hurriedly walked over and said, "Jixiang is just a stupid person, where is it worth the second lady to condescend." Since the second lady wants to see him, I will just call him over. ”

Murong Yuxin listened to her tone and knew that this person must be a family member with some authority. So he nodded and said, "Okay, you can call for him." ”

The woman ordered someone to call Jixiang, and then asked Murong Yuxin, "Second Miss, the attendants are all here, you can start choosing." ”

The attendants in the room of the young lady of Huainan Wangfu can be arranged to a maximum of four, Murong Yuxin thought, I heard Helian Wangbei say that the fate of the unsettled attendants is so miserable, I might as well accept as many as possible. It doesn't feel very useful, but it's better than letting them be sold and bought.

Since Murong Yuxin had made up his mind, he immediately chose a few random among the young men. Just after the selection was made, the maid who went to shout auspiciousness led a person over at this time.

But I saw that the man was walking high and low, and he stopped little by little, and his legs and feet were indeed very inconvenient. As soon as the woman who was accompanying Murong Yuxin saw the man walk in, she immediately stepped forward, took his hand, and walked quickly towards the second young lady. The man couldn't keep up with her, and his heart was in a hurry, and he just hurried forward one by one, looking very funny
