Chapter 45: Companionship
Zi Ning went back to the Huanyi Bureau, first went to Aunt Tao in the pulp washing room and kowtowed, and then went to her house to get her luggage, she actually didn't have anything, but two clothes, a pair of cloth shoes, and some head ropes, as well as handkerchiefs, face towels and washing, etc., rolled up the cover and left, it was really destitute.
Aunt Tao is still a conscience, Zining didn't deduct half a cent of the monthly case this month, and she also gave her a few days of silver, a total of twenty dollars of silver. Don't look at the small amount of silver, it can be very useful in the palace, and the palace people are entrusted everywhere to do things, why don't you want silver to dot it? If you have silver taels in your hands at that time, you will not worry about the lack of medicine to cure the disease. The eunuchs in the palace often help the palace maids bring some hair oil and rouge from outside the palace to collect benefits. There are also some palace maids who save the silver and take it home, Zi Ning only has a second sister left outside the palace, the second sister naturally does not need her to take care of it, Zi Ning carefully put away the silver, and it will be useful everywhere in the future.
She first went to the ruined garden to take a look, and silently muttered a few words in front of her mother's mound, which is close to the sewing room, and she can come to see it every fifteenth day of the New Year's Festival, but it is also to see, it is impossible to burn incense and paper for sacrifices.
She carried the futon out of the house, and the palace maids who washed the clothes in the courtyard all looked up, all of them were envious, fortunately, there was Xiaochunzi waiting outside the courtyard, and everyone didn't dare to say anything, only when they passed the courtyard, Ziqing snorted coldly, with a contemptuous look.
Zining didn't care what others thought, she sat upright by herself, and walked straight to Ziqing with her things in her arms, ": Thank you for your sister's care these days, if he has something to do, come to the needlework room to find me." ”
Ziqing looked at Zi Ning, shook the water in his hand, smiled and nodded, "You are a good girl, you must not be reckless in the future." ”
Zi Ning nodded, eat a trench and grow wise, most of the palace maids here are not concerned with themselves, and the eunuchs are also insensitive, if there is no Ziqing to beg Aunt Tao this time, and Aunt Tao went to find the five princes, and just happened to meet the binding adult, she would really die this time. Ziqing can also be regarded as her great benefactor. Not long after entering the palace, he owed so much kindness, Zi Ning smiled bitterly in his heart.
Say goodbye to Ziqing, and then turn her head to look at Ziyan who is struggling to wash her clothes, she is the same age as herself, and she has suffered the same as herself, the hand of washing clothes is estimated to be unbearable at this time, Zining is also a little sympathetic, and even more unbearable, Ziyan is timid and afraid to speak, and he can only swallow his anger when he is bullied, but fortunately, there is still a person in the house who will take care of him, and he will not be bullied. Ziyan secretly looked up at Zi Ning, blinked, Zi Ning also smiled at her, and after the two nodded silently, Zi Ning went out of the hospital with her things.
"Everything?" Koharuko asked.
"Well, it's all ready." Zi Ning nodded, even if something fell, the two courtyards were so close that she could come back and get it after walking for a while, and she didn't have anything valuable.
"Then come with us."
As soon as Zi Ning and Xiao Chunzi arrived at the door of the needlework room, before they stepped into the house, they heard the aunt inside setting rules for the palace maids, ": I have clear rewards and punishments, you don't have to be afraid but you can't ignore it, if you do things well, we will be safe, and you won't be treated badly by eating and living, if anyone wants to be lazy and has bad intentions, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." I've always eaten soft rather than hard, and if anyone dares to disobey me, don't stay in the courtyard, do you understand? ”
"Understood." "Understood."
Aunt Qiao nodded with satisfaction, and wanted to continue, but she heard someone outside.
"Aunt Qiao is really a new official, our family brought someone here, but it disturbed my aunt's talk?"
Xiao Chunzi took Zi Ning into the house, Zi Ning put down the things in his hand and kowtowed to Aunt Qiao to say goodbye": Slave Zi Ning, I have seen Aunt Qiao. ”
As soon as Aunt Qiao looked at the girl kneeling on the ground, she knew that this was the palace maid specially explained by the master, she nodded and said, "Get up." ”
Everyone in the house also looked over, Zi Ning had come to the needlework room before, caused some trouble, and was almost beaten by Aunt Chun, everyone knew that they thought that after Gonggong Wei took her away last time, it should be more auspicious, but they didn't expect that it was the nobles who blessed her, and even Aunt Chun was replaced, this Zi Ning really has a great background.
Among these palace maids, Wen'er is the happiest for Zining, and now Zining is fine, and she doesn't have to be afraid under Aunt Chun's hands anymore. In the future, the two of them can work together, and they can also have someone to talk to and take care of, which is really good......
Luo Yu sighed in her heart, she is really capable, it is estimated that she relied on that seductive face, but it is a pity that her parents failed to give birth to herself, otherwise in this palace, maybe she would be able to turn a sparrow into a phoenix.
"Since the person has been delivered, then our family will go back, Miss Zining has to ask Aunt Qiao." Koharuko said with a smile.
"I will protect the girls in my yard, as long as I do things well, I will never let them suffer half a point, father-in-law, don't worry."
Haruko nodded in satisfaction and left the house.
"Xiuzhi, take Zining down to choose a room and settle everything first." Aunt Qiao commanded to a palace maid.
"Aunt Qiao, the slave has a reluctant request." Zi Ning hurriedly knelt down.
"What?"
"The slave wants to share a room with Wen'er."
When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised at first, there had been a death in Wen'er's house, and no one wanted to live in that house, even Luo Yu begged Aunt Chun to move out, and now someone took the initiative to ask for it, and then everyone thought that the one who died was Zining's mother, and there was nothing to taboo.
"There is a spare shop in Wen'er's house, if you want to live there, go there."
With Aunt Qiao's consent, Zining thanked her gratefully, took her luggage and went to the house with Wen'er.
"This house faces north, it's a little colder, but a few days ago the house added a carbon basin, and it can still live in people, if it's summer, it is estimated that our house is the coolest!" Wen'er can also think about it, and if she lives with her, she probably won't be depressed.
Zi Ning glanced around, the room had no windows, it was dim and dark, the whole room was cleaned up by Wen'er, and there was no musty smell and peculiar smell as it should be, ": It's good if we can live in one place, if it's really cold at night, it's okay for us to squeeze into one bed." Zi Ning smiled at Wen'er.
Wen'er also laughed, and when she came over, she took Zining's hand: "It's good that you're here now, I've always been alone in this house, and the night is weird and scary, so I don't dare to get up at night." ”
Zining took Wen'er's hand and turned her around, "Your injuries have all healed?" ”
"It's been a long time ago, I had a high fever that day, I really thought I was dying, and no one cared about me when I was lying in the house, I stayed up for two days, and then someone sent me with medicine, I was still strange at the time, and now I want to come, it must be the person you begged for, right?"
Tears dazzled her eyes, Zi Ning nodded, and her hand tightened, "Those who have no heart and liver, no one cares about you......"
"Anyone else? Just don't hurt me anymore, then Luo Yu saw that I was dying, and begged my aunt to move out of this room the next day, I only heard someone outside say that I was dying, so I quickly carried it out, don't die inside, I was so angry that I was about to get up from the bed, if I really died, I wouldn't let her go! As soon as she thought of this, Wen'er hated her teeth so much, that bitter and hateful appearance, although she sounded pitiful, Zi Ning was inexplicably laughed at by her.
"It won't be like this in the future, we can talk to each other in the future, don't be angry with those people, come, hurry up and help me spread the mattress."
Wen'er's temper was also very fast, and when she heard Zining say this, she sniffed, and she was so happy that she helped clean up the bed.
