Julia came out of the inn and counted the money in her hand...... No, silver.

It's only one or two halves.

This bit of silver, it was very reluctant to save money for a month, but she didn't have any more money, and when she left there, she brought all the items that could be exchanged for money, but those platinum necklaces in modern society, the ancients didn't think they were worth much.

She had to get a job, Julia thought, whatever it was, as long as she could survive in the world.

In this Qing Dynasty three hundred years ago, survive.

But until then, she still has something to do.

Thinking of this, she took the burden she was carrying, and asked passers-by about the Eighth Elder Brother's Mansion, and then staggered all the way.

I have too little money, so I have to be frugal. In addition to walking, she couldn't use any other means of transportation, and she felt heavy recently, so it would be a little difficult for her to move, so she walked for most of the day before she found the mansion of the eighth elder brother.

But when she reached the door of the mansion, Julia stopped again.

She looked up at the gate and couldn't help but think, in this way, how can she find the eighth elder brother and pass the news to him?

She hesitated at the door, walking back and forth, and a few idle servants at the door naturally noticed her, and one of the old men stepped forward and asked, "Girl, are you looking for someone?" ”

Julia nodded, she hesitated, "This uncle, I'...... I want to ask, is the eighth elder brother in the house? ”

The servant was taken aback: "You want to see our Lord Belle?" ”

The expression was immediately different, and it was a little suspicious and vigilant. When Julia saw that his face changed color, she knew that something was wrong, so she didn't dare to ask again, so she reluctantly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I ...... I'll just ask......"

She didn't dare to say anything more, so she turned and walked away.

But after a few steps, Julia was embarrassed, and she looked back at the majestic house, and thought to herself. Won't I become Grandma Liu?

It's so difficult for Grandma Liu to see a wife to accompany her. I actually want to meet Lord Baylor, isn't it a dream!

Is it just gone?

Julia thought, although it is not impossible, but ......

Maybe it's selfish. I'd love to meet them. Julia thought. My heart was sour, and tears almost poured out. She deliberately chose the eighth brother's home, but did not go to the closer Yongwang Mansion. In fact, it's also deliberately avoiding, right?

Even if you don't tell them the news, it doesn't really have much impact on their lives.

She turned her back, wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and thought about it, wait another day, if you can't wait for the eighth elder brother here, then forget it.

From then on, it was a good result for each other to die at the end of the world.

Thinking so, Julia simply found a tree near the eighth brother's house and sat down. She looked at the sun, it was already afternoon, and today she waited until it was dark to close. Tomorrow she will come and wait again, and wait until tomorrow afternoon, when she can't see the eighth elder brother, then she will leave.

That night, I waited until the sky was full of stars.

During this period, two or three sedan chairs entered the house, but Julia could not tell who was sitting in those sedan chairs, she was too unfamiliar with the Qing Dynasty, so she could only get closer to see when the sedan chair came, and she could not get too close, so as not to arouse suspicion. It was all a blue cloth sedan chair, and sometimes there were servants in front of the sedan chair, it seemed that it should be a female dependent, and she didn't know if it was possible for the eighth elder brother to ride a horse by himself, if so, there was hope to stop him......

In the middle of the moon, the door was closed, and Julia knew that there was no hope, so she had to get up and leave.

Early the next morning, she went back to her place and continued to wait.

The sun moved up little by little, and no sedan chair came out, only a few people dressed as servants went in and out, and there were officials who looked like officials, because the sedan curtain was slightly lifted, and Julia saw the official uniform.

There is not much hope today, Julia thought to herself, she was a little sad for some reason, it turned out that she and that group of people were so far apart, it turned out that the word "rank" was really not a concept, this was like an insurmountable moat like the Milky Way.

By noon, there were few people at the door, and Julia couldn't sit still, so she simply walked closer and looked in.

Fortunately, the person who asked her yesterday was not there. She didn't see anything, what kind of place was Baylor House? Even if Julia stretched her neck out, she could only see a small area of the front yard.

At this moment, two people came out of it, a slightly older man, who seemed to be a slave with some status, and the other was a young girl, who looked like a decent girl.

I only heard the old man say to the young woman: "The one who came ahead is too lazy and loves to gamble, and he almost let Fu Jin bump into him last time." ”

"I said she couldn't," the woman chimed in, "and the last time I went to the kitchen, there was not a pig's head!" It's all lard! Just know how to steal food! ”

The old man shook his head and sighed: "The character is too bad, you can't be called in to do the work, otherwise Fujin will be angry." Hurry up and find another one, sister-in-law Liu is still waiting for a helper here. ”

When Julia heard this, her heart moved, and she hurriedly stepped forward: "Both, do you need to do chores here?" ”

The two men who had spoken stopped and looked at her together.

"Who are you?" The old man asked suspiciously.

Julia smiled and said, "Oh, I...... I just want to get a job! Uncle, I just heard you and this girl say that your house is short of manpower? ”

The old man nodded: "Where are you from?" What is it called? ”

"My surname is Wei, and I have come from ...... came from the south, and there was an accident in the family, so he went to the capital to join his relatives. When Julia said this, she couldn't help but choke up a little, "But my relatives are long gone in the capital, and I haven't found anyone, and I've spent all the money in my hand." I just heard from you that you are in dire need of manpower, so I thought ......"

The old man looked at her carefully, and then asked the girl beside him, "What do you see?" ”

The woman also looked at Julia, "What will you do?" ”

"I can do anything!" Julia hurriedly said, "I may not be able to do the fine work, but I can do it by sprinkling and sweeping!" I'm not afraid of getting tired! ”

The young woman seemed a little shaken, and she asked, "Are you alone?" ”

Julia held back tears. Only then did he whisper: "I'm alone." Husband...... I can't go back home, and I can't leave the capital, so I want to stay here and get something to eat. ”

The woman reached out and grabbed Julia's wrist, "Let me see your hand." ”

She looked closely, shook her head, and said, "This won't work. You're pampered at home, right? Look at this thin-skinned and tender meat, how do you do things like this? ”

"I really can!" Julia said hurriedly, "Don't look at my hands without calluses, I can work!" You leave me for a day to try, it's not good to try. Just send me away! You don't even have to give me money! ”

She said so. Both of them were moved.

Finally, the old man said: "Okay, this is what you said, we are here in Baylor Mansion, and the rules are very big." If you can't do it, you will let us go. I can't keep you here. ”

"Don't worry. I'm sure I'll do a good job! ”

So with that, Julia followed them into the Baylor Mansion of the Eighth Elder Brother.

It was a huge place, and she hadn't been able to get through the main entrance of the antechamber. Instead, he entered through the corner door next to him, and was taken directly to the place where the slave was staying behind.

The old man who brought Julia in was Lao Su, the housekeeper in the house, and the young woman was a second-class girl next to Bafujin, named Ko Zhu.

Cojou led Julia behind and asked her if she had eaten and if she was hungry.

Julia hurriedly said, "I don't need to eat, I can work here." ”

Ko Zhu laughed: "How can you work as soon as you come in?" This is not the place for small households. I see you've been at the door all morning, and you're probably still hungry. I'll ask the girl to get you something to eat. ”

She also said that this is the rule of the house, and the eighth elder brother has always been very good to his subordinates, like Julia, he will give a full meal before going to work.

When Julia heard her say this, her eyes were wet for some reason, and she said in a dumb voice: "You Lord Belle, you are really a good person." ”

"Of course!" Co Zhu smiled, "Otherwise, why would they call our Lord Belle the Eight Sages." ”

The food was delivered quickly, two hot steamed buns and pickles.

After eating, Kou Zhu asked the girl who brought the steamed buns to lead Julia to the place where she worked, and her job was mainly to wash clothes.

Julia washed her clothes all afternoon!

Because the first day had to be good, she didn't dare to spare her strength, so at dusk, Julia could even feel a faint pain in her abdomen.

Fortunately, Kou Zhu felt that she was indeed very diligent and took care of her, and cleaned up a clean place for her early. At the same time, he told her that the monthly money for a month was 500 copper plates. But food and lodging are free.

That's fine, Julia lay in bed at night, thinking to herself, save money for a month or two, and then pass the news to the eighth brother at this stage, and then she will leave—of course she can't stay here forever.

When she got up the next day, she was still doing laundry, and when she was done washing her clothes, she would water and wipe the floor with a bucket, and Julia was very diligent, only when there was a slight pain in her abdomen, she would stop and rest.

"Isn't it uncomfortable?" Koju looked at her a little worriedly, and Julia's face was sallow at the moment.

Julia quickly smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing, I'm a little unaccustomed to it at first, just do more." ”

Kou Zhu nodded: "At first, when I looked at your hands, I thought you were pampered and couldn't do anything." Now, it seems, it is not. ”

Julia looked down at the clothes in the basin, and after a while, she said in a dumb voice: "I have no other hope, only ...... Able to live. ”

So she washed her clothes for three days in Baylor's house.

Julia knew that the eighth elder brother was at home, and she heard from the mouth of the girl next to her that the eighth elder brother had not gone to the court in the past two days.

However, the two were in the same mansion, and they didn't even have a chance to meet...... It's a shame.

At noon on the fourth day, Ko Zhu assigned her a matter and asked her to follow her, and sent the two baskets of washed clothes to the room of the Beatitudes and handed them to her personal maid.

"When you get to me, I'll send you in, you just stand there and wait."

Julia nodded, took a basket of clean clothes, and followed Joju inside.

At first, she had been in the northeast corner where the slaves lived, and had never walked anywhere else, and the journey was only fresh. Originally, the general appearance of this house is similar to the former residences of celebrities visited by modern tourists, but now that she walks in it, she feels different. The former residence of the celebrity was empty. It's put on a show for people to see, and that kind of house is in a state of "desolation". But the Baylor House in front of you is inhabited, inhabited and cared for houses, with a unique and lively atmosphere, whether it is the magnificent eaves of the verandah or the green trees of the courtyard, they are all vibrant.

After walking for a while, when she arrived at the house where Ba Fujin lived, Ko Zhu told her to wait under the eaves, and she sent her clothes into the house herself.

Julia stood there. Hillbilly like looking left and right. Suddenly, I heard the girl say, "Fu Jin is back." ”

She was startled, and she didn't know where to retreat, but it was too late to hide. I saw a few servants walking from a distance following a palace beauty.

The beauty walked to the door and glanced at Julia, "Where did this come from?" ”

Julia could only stand with her head bowed and her hands down.

Kou Zhu hurriedly came out of the house: "If you go back to Fujin." She had just entered the house two days ago. Specialized in laundry. ”

Bafujin nodded. I didn't ask anything more and went inside.

Even though it was only a glance, Julia could see her face.

The Beatitudes are very good-looking. Phoenix eyes and red lips, bright and shining, indeed a bit of Wang Xifeng's demeanor in the 87 version of the Red Mansion, but she is more delicate and gentle than Deng Jie's facial features back then, not the kind of sharp that is known at a glance, but has a faint taste of coquettishness.

It turns out that the "Zhen'er" in the eighth elder brother's heart looks like this, and it is indeed a combination of Daiyu and Xifeng. Julia couldn't help but think, but she didn't know what that young Fujin looked like......

Her nose was sour, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she only lowered her head and followed Ko Zhu out of the courtyard of Bafujin.

The two of them were walking, but they heard the noisy voices and messy footsteps in front of them, as if a bunch of people were talking and laughing and came in, and Chjou quickly pulled Julia to the side to dodge.

Before anyone came over, Julia heard the voice of the eighth elder brother, and her heart suddenly jumped into a ball!

Although she was pulled aside and bowed her head to avoid it, Julia still couldn't help but raise her head, sure enough, it was the eighth elder brother! I saw him and his two entourages talking all the way and walking inside.

For a while, that excitement rushed out of Julia's heart, and she couldn't help but whisper: "Eighth Master! ”

The eighth elder brother was stunned, he stopped and turned to the two servant women standing next to him.

This voice was so familiar, he thought, and when his eyes fell on Julia's face, the eighth elder brother's look was as if he had seen an alien!

"Julia?"

The eighth elder brother was fixed there, stunned. His expression was like in a dream!

He took two more steps forward, still unsure, and only asked in a dreamy whisper, "Is that you?" Julia? Is that you? ”

Julia had been holding back tears for a long time, and finally fell.

"It's me." She choked up and said, "Eighth Master, I've been waiting for you for many days......"

The eighth elder brother rushed over in three or two steps, and grabbed Julia's arm: "It's really you!" It's really you! ”

His voice was trembling, his face was flushed, and he looked like he was about to cry.

The entourage butlers next to him, including Ko Zhu and others, were all stunned!

The housekeeper Lao Su stepped forward cautiously: "Master, she entered the house to wash clothes two days ago......"

The eighth elder brother was stunned: "You came into the house to wash clothes?" ”

Julia raised her hand to wipe her tears, and then smiled: "I can't see the eighth master, I haven't waited for the eighth master for two days at the door, so I have to ...... I had to come in and do the laundry. ”

The eighth elder brother laughed for a while.

"You're here to do laundry?!" He seemed to think it was funny, "How can you do the laundry?" ”

When Eighth Elder Brother said this, the people around him were even more sluggish, and Ko Zhu didn't dare to speak!

Only then did he realize that his behavior was strange, and the eighth elder brother hurriedly came back to his senses and said to the butler, "Julia...... Oh no, I mean, this Miss Wei is an old acquaintance of mine, and she can't do the laundry. ”

Julia burst into tears and laughed: "It's okay to do the laundry, if I don't find some work, I will run out of money." ”

"Then, you are ...... now" Eighth Elder Brother was full of confusion and didn't know how to ask.

Julia lowered her head: "Right now, I have nowhere to go." ”

The eighth elder brother knew that this was not the place to speak, so he said to the housekeeper again: "Old Su, first ask someone to clean up a courtyard and come out, let Miss Wei stay, what about you, hurry up and inform the ninth master, the tenth master and the fourth master, and ......."

When Julia heard this, she hurriedly said, "No, no, don't tell me...... Don't tell Ah Zhen. ”

The eighth elder brother was stunned, he wanted to ask why. Seeing Julia's sad expression, she had to swallow her words back.

"Okay, then I'll call Lao Jiu and them, okay?"

Julia nodded.

So Julia was taken to a quiet courtyard in the back, and it was still Koju who took her. Along the way, Coju is silent, and Julia knows that she is angry and feels that she is hiding her. She was embarrassed and said, "Miss Kozhu, I didn't want to hide it from you. ”

Kou Zhu sighed softly: "It turns out that you have such a deep friendship with Lord Belle. I've been in this house for 10 years. I've never seen my master like that before. ”

Julia's stomach is full, so she can only swallow it back.

After a while, the eighth elder brother hurriedly changed into civilian clothes and came over, and Julia saw him enter the house. He hurriedly stood up to salute him.

"Alright. Don't pretend to be from the Qing Dynasty. Eighth Brother smiled gently. Looking at your Qing Dynasty dress, I feel awkward in my heart. ”

Julia looked down at her half-worn blue clothes. Dusty cloth shoes, and only a cheap silver hairpin on his head.

"I paid a lot of money to buy it." She smiled, "When I first came over, that look scared the people of the Qing Dynasty, and it was easy to figure out how to dress up like you, so I was stable." ”

"When did you come here?" Eighth Brother asked again.

"Six days ago." Julia said, "I just came here, and I don't know where your brother's mansion is, so I can only settle at the hotel first, and then I found this place." ”

The eighth elder brother was stunned: "Is it the day of Wanshou Day?" ”

Julia didn't hear clearly: "What? Halloween? ”

Eighth Brother laughed: "How can there be a Halloween in spring?" You, you don't know how to learn......"

Julia was about to ask, but she heard a hurried voice outside at this time, as soon as she looked up, she saw the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother rushing in, and the tenth elder brother also said while walking: "Starling brother, who is coming?" What is the Wei girl......"

Before he finished his words, his eyes saw Julia, and the whole person was stunned!

Brother Jiu is the same, like a mud tire, motionless!

The eighth elder brother laughed: "You two have been immobilized by the method? See who's coming? ”

Before he finished his words, the tenth elder brother flew up and hugged Julia!

"Julia! It's really you! It's really you! And he began to weep.

Julia was hugged by him like this, and was grabbed by him and cried, and couldn't help sobbing: "...... Don't cry, why do you cry every time you see me? ”

Only then did the tenth elder brother let go of her, and he looked at Julia with teary eyes: "It's really you!" It's really you! ”

He was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Brother Jiu was also very excited, he wiped his face with his hand, and said in a dumb voice, "Why did you come here?" ”

Julia wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve before she smiled, "What?" The Ninth Master is not welcome? ”

"How so!" Brother Jiu immediately said, "You should say hello in advance!" In that case, our brothers will greet you with the posture of welcoming the Empress! ”

Julia burst into tears and laughed: "If you say this, you are not afraid of being listened to by your Emperor Amma!" ”

"By the way, how did you get here?" Brother Jiu asked again, "Come here for sightseeing?" Coming for a few days? ”

As soon as he asked, Julia sat down slowly, and after a while, she smiled sadly: "It's not sightseeing, I escaped, and in the future, I have to stay here for the rest of my life." ”

As soon as she said that, all three of them were stunned!

"What the hell is going on?" Eighth Brother asked cautiously.

Julia lowered her head, and it took a long time before she raised her head and mustered up the courage to say, "I closed the passage." ”

The three looked at each other, and Brother Ten said in confusion: "What passage?" ”

"From here, the gateway to modern society." Julia said word for word, "I sealed it." ”

"That is to say......"

"In other words, Yu Jin, they can't come over to harm you, and he can't stretch out his black hand here anymore." Julia's voice was hoarse, "No matter what happens here, he can't interfere." ”

When the three heard this, they also sat down slowly.

"Actually, I have been imprisoned by Yu Jin for the past six months." Julia lowered her head again, "I'...... I tried many ways to escape, and finally I thought, just escape to Daqing, I'll come to you. As I was leaving, I closed the passage by the way. In this way, Yu Jin can't come and persecute you, and he can't take you as a hostage to blackmail me back. ”

Eighth Elder Brother nodded: "I see." ”

Julia smiled at this, "Actually, I don't plan to stay here for long. ”

Eighth Elder Brother was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"I ...... I shouldn't be here. Julia's face was clouded by a gloom of shame, "I'm sorry for you, you were caught by Yu Jin, and a large part of the reason is me." ”

Brother Jiu immediately said, "No, it's not your responsibility!" ”

Julia was stunned, and she suddenly said, "Ninth Master, you have the monitor of the research institute on you." ”

Brother Jiu was stunned: "What?" ”

"That wrench in your hand, the green one." "There's a launch positioning system installed in there." ”

In a word, there was an uproar in the room!

Brother Jiu took down the emerald green wrench in his hand: "There's a cat in this?!" ”

"Yes, they want to monitor your whereabouts at all times, and now Yu Jin is watching your every move."

Brother Nine was furious, he smashed his wrench on the ground and stepped on it!

"! Yu Jin, who should be cut with a thousand cuts! ”

"In addition to the wrench, there are also those cats in the Ninth Master's Mansion, as well as ...... There are also the garlic heads around Ah Zhen, I suspect that they all have eavesdropping and peeping devices. ”

The eighth elder brother was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect the net to be arranged beside them.

Brother Jiu finally nodded: "We should have thought of it a long time ago!" It's easy to do, cats and dogs continue to be raised, just don't let them get too close. ”

"That's what I just want to tell you." Julia took a breath before adding, "Actually, the passage is closed, and they can't come back again, even if they see and hear about you, it won't help." But I don't want you to live under their eyes all day long, and let him watch your life as a reality show. Even if they can't do anything to you, I ...... in my heart It's also uncomfortable. ”

Eighth Brother nodded: "You're right, Julia, thank you for telling us this. ”

Julia stood up, "That's all I want to tell you. Now that the message has arrived, it's time for me to go. ”

Eight elder brothers, they all stood up: "Where are you going?!" ”

"The world is so big, where can't you stay?" Julia forced a smile, "I can't stay here, it's not appropriate, my identity is unknown, staying here will cause you trouble." ”

The eighth elder brother immediately said: "It's nothing! You just stay here and don't go anywhere! With such a big Baylor Mansion, can't it afford to support one person? ”

The tenth elder brother said worriedly: "Julia, don't you plan to see my fourth brother?" ”

As soon as he said this, Julia's eyes filled with tears.

She endured it for a while before she said in a dumb voice, "No." I don't want to see him, I shouldn't see him again, and don't tell him I've been here. Eighth master, give me some silver, it doesn't take a lot, ten taels or twenty taels will do. I'll leave tonight, leave the capital, and go anywhere......"

When the three of them heard this, they all refused in unison, saying that she couldn't just leave.

Ten Elder Brother pulled her and begged like a child: "Don't go, Julia, you can stay here with me......"

Julia gritted her teeth: "I really can't stay here!" I...... I also have monitoring on my body! ”

The eighth elder brother was stunned: "What? ”

"Implanted in my body." Julia lowered her eyes, "Actually, I'm an active monitoring device - the reason why Yu Jin knew so many things before was because of my existence." ”

As soon as she said this, the eighth elder brother didn't know what to say, and the ninth elder brother wanted to ask where the monitoring was placed, but he felt embarrassed to ask.

"You told me to leave the capital and go to a village where no one knows me and stay alone, so that it won't cause you any harm."

"Nope." The eighth elder brother refused, "That's absolutely impossible." Julia, even if you have surveillance on you, they can't come over, right? Just let them watch, what can they do to us? I don't care! ”

As soon as he said this, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother also said: "Yes! We don't care! You can't go! You stay here and we'll feed you! (To be continued.) )

PS: Ahem, about Julia's attitude, there is another reason for being so weird, it's not that she is senseless stubborn in her character, the reason is multi-layered, her hidden secrets will be revealed after a dozen chapters, and the remaining part of the secrets may not be revealed until one or two hundred chapters later - so please try to be considerate of her~~
