The bearded leader nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Xiao Jiu and said, "You can watch the selection, or you can take it into battle yourself." "It's not your word yet."

Xiao Jiu smiled quite flatteringly.

I crouched down the wall, silently down the tree, and then followed to the front yard, where I went up again to watch.

Xiao Jiu went out and came back after a while.

I waited at the head of the wall for about half an hour.

During this time, I have been observing the movements of the group of people in the small courtyard, and it is still the same as what I saw before, each doing his own thing, and some have time to chat with his companions.

Although this is a busy place in charge of chores in the palace, it seems that the life of this group of people is not bad.

I hid among the branches and leaves of the big tree, pursed my lips, and watched Xiao Jiu enter the courtyard and calmly walked to the middle of the crowd.

He looked left and right in the crowd and interrogated several people who were idle in the courtyard.

I could tell from his expression that he didn't seem to be very happy with everyone who answered!

After some selection, in the end, Xiao Jiu finally selected an attendant from among them.

He pondered for a while, and then dragged the man over: "I heard what the female official said, people will not come until the afternoon, you go to work first, and then come back when the meal is served, and rest for a while after lunch." ”

"I'll pick up the new arrivals on the way to the second half of the day," Xiao Jiu told him carefully, "and then take them to the old place." “

The attendant nodded frequently, with a deferential expression on his face, and after a while, he pushed the door and walked out of the courtyard by himself, and walked all the way up the path!

Seeing that the door was closed, Xiao Jiu walked under the tree and lazily moved a chair and sat down.

The people in the courtyard are still busy with their own work.

I poked my head out of the branches and leaves, observed Xiao Jiu, looked at his posture, and found someone to go in his place, and I didn't plan to go to the backyard to resume my life for a while.

If the bearded leader saw it, he might blame him for not going by himself, but blaming others for the matter.

I was stunned at the wall for a moment, and suddenly thought of the conversation between the two people in the backyard just now, especially the part mentioned in the conversation between the bearded leader and him.

I decided that I might as well take a gamble.

At this point, it's worth taking a risk!

I immediately jumped off the wall and ran through the woods, intending to cut my way ahead of the squire!

I looked at the person who came out of the small courtyard from a distance, his expression was ugly all the time, and he was still muttering something as he walked, and he couldn't hear it clearly from a distance, which was not a good word after all.

In a short time, he passed by the path in the woods, broke off a branch from the tree, and whipped the grass on the side of the road as he went.

Looks, a hundred are unwilling to do this!

Think about his situation and empathize with what you can understand.

In the winter, I went to the lake to salvage those floating debris, and I had to bring two new people who didn't know anything, and I was depressed if it was me.

Besides, this errand was not originally my own, but was shoehorned in by others.

I know that the bearded leader who assigned the task in the backyard originally asked the attendant named Xiao Jiu to take a trip, but after being clever and inquiring about the news, he immediately found a replacement for him.

Easily gave up a "good errand".

As for the attendant in front of me, he must be at the bottom of the miscellaneous attendants, and he belongs to the forefront of doing things.

He couldn't find anyone who could top the bag, so he had to go into battle himself.

I drove a little further, this time actually ahead of him.

I looked around in the woods, spotted a large tree, climbed up, tied the baggage I was carrying between the branches, and hid it with the leaves.

When you get under the tree, raise your head and look at it from all angles so as not to attract the attention of people passing by.

Stopping on the road, there is still time for me to tidy up my clothes and pat off the fallen leaves on my shoulders.

I patted the dust on my clothes, and my heart moved, so I smeared a little dust on my face, bent my back slightly, and put on the clothes I had specially found, with a cautious expression, so that people who didn't know thought it was a little squire who was doing miscellaneous work underneath.

My heart beat faster, but my face didn't show it, and I took a dozen steps forward and stopped at the passage that the man had to pass.

The footsteps moved slowly, and in a short time, the scolding man appeared in front of me.

"Hey!" His eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand and waved at me, greeting me, "You're new here?" ”

I hurriedly stepped forward, saluted him and lowered my voice: "Yes, this big brother, what do you call it?" "Brother Jiu's news is unreliable, didn't the female official say that she would only come in the afternoon?" The attendant touched his head and said. "You're in a hurry!"

I looked away, afraid to look at him.

He grinned and said, "It's just right, why are you the only one?" Since it's ahead of schedule, what about another person? "Didn't Brother Jiu say that there were two people coming?"

The attendant didn't see someone coming behind me, he was slightly stunned, his expression became a little strange, he scratched his head, looked at me fixedly and asked.

I had an idea, and answered, "With me there is a companion who has a bad stomach this morning. ”

I found a reason in a hurry, and immediately lowered my head and said, "He can't even get out of the hut." ”

"I asked the female officer, and she asked me to come to the courtyard to find you first."

I tilted my head and thought about it, and explained to him seriously.

"That kid is really backing!" The attendant looked at me and said, "New here, I have a good errand for you." ”

"Ah," I said, with some trepidation, "what are you going to do?" ”

"You know we have a lot of things to do every day, and the female officer didn't tell you? I should have talked about it before I came. "We have to go to the lake every once in a while to catch something, and the boat stops at the dock around the bend."

The attendant chatted with me, looked up at me, and said, "Didn't tell you?" “

"Oh, that's what you're talking about, I know, I know, the lady sent me because I know how to water." "There isn't much water in the palace," the attendant's expression became even happier this time, and he patted me on the shoulder and looked at me again before asking, "Do you know how to sail?" ”

"A little, a little." "My hometown is on the south side of Zealand," I nodded, "and I've watched my father sail the boat since I was a child, and I've spent most of my time on the boat." ”

"I don't have a lot of time to test drive, but it doesn't sink."

"You come with me." The attendant led me to the lake, and before I got there, he began to signal to the two small boats docked on the edge of my dock, "Both of them can be driven." "You come closer and pick it yourself, there is a fishing net on the boat."

"It's a coincidence, there is a palace banquet in the palace, the people under your monarch asked us to clean up the lake, you did a good job, and when you return to the courtyard, maybe there will be a reward."

The attendant didn't blush when he lied.

"On the first day, I met such a good errand, and I gave you a chance to watch the kid."

I was terrified, and I couldn't help but hesitate: "Big brother, you always have to take me with you, but I'm the first day here, what if I don't do well?" I'm afraid of being reprimanded from above. ”

"Who is going to ask you! Stupid! ”

Standing on the shore of the lake, the attendant reached out and knocked on the door of my head, "As long as you know how to sail a boat, you can use a fishing net with your hand!" "If you change to the work that anyone can do, you can't do it?!" He glared at me.

"Shiro has grown so big!"

I stroked my head and said aggrievedly: "I'm timid, the female official said that the first day I came to do things, I had the eldest brother in the courtyard to take me." ”

"That's it! Don't be crooked, you kid! I still have serious business, so you can start the boat and fish on the lake first. "When it's noon, you will call it a day and go back to the small courtyard, and I will take you to see Brother Jiu."

"Big brother, who are you talking about the ninth brother?" I asked in a whisper.

"Brother Jiu is the leader of our brothers, but he is not the biggest, that is, he is in charge of us."

The attendant explained to me the name of this ninth brother, and he was the second-in-command in the small courtyard, and I understood it this time.

The bearded leader is a big sesame official, and there are several waves of people at the bottom.

Thinking about He Yanzhi, he is really not good at using his privileges, I always feel that he does everything himself in the Lin De Palace, and he has to do everything by himself, even sending me a sign to leave the palace.

A little steward under the family is lazier than him, and he will give himself a holiday when he has the opportunity.

He Yanzhi's face flashed in front of my eyes in an instant, and I sighed in my heart.

"Listen carefully, have you learned the rules under the female officer?" The attendant saw that I was distracted, and was a little dissatisfied.

"I've learned, I've listened carefully, and I've been studying for a few days." I quickly came back to my senses and stared at him.

The attendant led me one after the other to the nearest part of the lakeshore, and leaned down to look at the two small boats moored on the water, which I had not seen for the first time.

Most of the time I watched from afar, and the only time I had dealt with him, this person was not among them.

But even if he had seen me and changed his clothes and dress, no one would think of the black-faced palace maid with me in the clothes of a waiter in front of him.

When I was salvaging those strange leaf lobes on the lake, I often saw these people driving boats back and forth on the water.

And Xiao Si, I know that he spends no less time by the lake than these people.

The attendant pointed to one of them and said, "I've been on this boat, it's better, you can use this." "Remember, fishing on the surface of the lake, not to the bottom of the lake." The attendant lowered his voice and joked, "This water is very deep, although you can swim if you are a child, but you can't go down casually, be careful not to capsize the boat." “

I frowned and said, "The water is cold in winter, I will definitely be careful, big brother." "Did you hear the news when you came?" Today, His Majesty held a banquet with the nobles for the sake of the war in the north. ”

The attendant rolled his eyes and emphasized to me: "In case something goes wrong with you here, it's better to leave it on weekdays, this stall is not pleasing and unlucky." "Okay, I understand, big brother, then I'll get on the boat."

I glanced appreratively at the boat, wondering whether to walk up or jump on it.

Which way to look more like a veteran? "Hey, boy, wait, I haven't asked you what your name is?"

The attendant grabbed me by the sleeve and asked. "Big brother, my name is Xiao Lin, and I will follow my eldest brother in the courtyard in the future." I glanced at him and said in a flattering tone. "You kid, your mouth is so sweet," he said, putting his hand on my shoulder, "all right, go up and sail well, and just fish around the lakeshore!" "The water in the middle of the lake is very deep, don't go too far from the shore."

"This lake was full of leaves a few days ago," the attendant squatted down, stretched out his hand on the steps to brush the water, and his body trembled, "It's so cold, it still looks clean these days." "You're lucky, I guess you'll be able to salvage it in half a day." "I'll go back to the small courtyard when I'm done, there is a banquet in the palace today, and there should be additional dishes in the morning and evening."

Su Hyun led the palace maid Fu out of the small courtyard, and deliberately chose a secluded path, he walked in front, Fu was about a foot away from him, and always followed behind him.

Su Hyun walked out for a while, stopped on the hillside and looked back at the courtyard where he lived, and saw the people who came and went frequently at the door, as well as the busy crowd by the water pavilion not far away, his eyes were a little cold.

He looked at the landscape, and Fleur kept looking at him.

She could sense that after Guijun moved here from Qingsi Palace, his mood had changed.

Fu could vaguely guess a few points, but she didn't dare to think deeply, she was a person under Su Hyun, and she was looking forward to the smooth progress of her master anytime and anywhere, if there were a little twists and turns, I didn't know what kind of situation she would fall into this time.

I remember that the days in the Qingsi Hall are completely different from now, the people in the palace will be the most inflammatory, once the grace is gone, there will always be people who are eager to try to press up

In broad daylight, the lamp is still lit in the study room of the main building of the Lin De Palace.

The curtains were open, the windows and doors were not closed, and the bright light of the night had little effect at this moment, but the man sitting in the light and shadow had not been able to sleep properly for two whole days.

He Yan was the only one sitting in the study of the entire Lin De Palace, and he lazily leaned his back on the wooden couch, but his eyes turned from the window to the bookshelf.

Getting up from the couch, He Yanzhi walked over slowly, stopped at the bookshelf and took down a booklet at random, flipped through it, and then put it back as it was.

Compared with the faint sound of the sound through the wall in the room a few days ago, the current study room of the Lin De Hall is inevitably a little too quiet.

He Yanzhi's gaze turned to the cage stored in the flower garden on the shelf, frowned, and coughed lightly.

In an instant, a figure flashed at the door.

He Yanzhi looked at the hidden guard who knelt on the ground when he heard the sound, and said in a low voice, "Send someone to send this box back to the flower garden." “

The hidden guard rarely showed his face, and he couldn't help but be stunned. "At the beginning, she was afraid that someone would snatch it, so she sent the box to me and asked me to keep it for her."

He Yanzhi paused in his tone and said, "Now that she has gone to the Northland, the box will be sent back to them directly." ”

A look of hesitation flashed on the guard's face, and he asked in a low voice, "The box is for the flower garden manager?" ”

He Yanzhi lowered his eyes and bowed his head and did not speak, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

(PS: When the annual leave comes, I will open the manuscript storage mode again, and I will have to save the manuscript for more than ten days in order to go out of the country, and then I can only watch him play with many projects, and the whole person is not good!) 555）R1152
