Chapter 11 For the Servant

After the girls had slept for two nights and eaten and drunk three times during the day, the carriage entered a tall gate early in the morning.

There are three complicated big characters hanging on the lintel, and Xiao Jiu guesses that it should be the three words 'Anyang City'.

The roads in the city are wide enough for ten horse-drawn carriages to travel side by side.

The road is crisscrossed by many small lanes, and on both sides of the road are many houses and pavilions, which look exquisite and distinctive, and some early risers are opening some doors as if they are ready to start a busy day.

The carriage went on until the wide road branched into two equally wide roads, as if to divide the city into three equal parts.

This is obviously a three-way intersection, and there is a stone tablet standing in each of the three directions on the edge of the three-way intersection, and each stone tablet has a character of a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing.

Behind the stele, there are streets and alleys lined with houses in three directions.

Looking behind the criss-crossed houses, the hills stretched far away and disappeared into the clouds.

The carriage turned to the right, and after another long journey, turned again into a path on the right, and finally stopped in front of a small stacked building.

There was a sign hanging on one side of the small building with four big characters written on it, but Xiao Jiu didn't recognize it.

After a while, the car door opened, and the voice of the older woman came.

"Girls, we've arrived at the place, now get out of the car and follow me into the inn, and we can eat after we have freshened up and gone to the dust."

Fifteen girls and eight rooms, except for the bold girl in green, who occupied one room by herself, the others were two girls in one room.

Xiao Jiu was in the same room as a girl in red, and the girl in red was the girl who seemed to have some insight into the world of cultivating immortals, and from their conversation, Xiao Jiu knew that this girl's name was Chunhong.

The two of them came to the door of room 12, to which they were assigned, and Chunhong unlocked the door of the room.

Then the two pushed the door in, and saw that the four large wooden basins with hot water in the room were placed on the left and right, and the hot steaming in the wooden basins made the two people who had passed through the wind and dust feel relaxed when they looked at it.

However, there is only one wooden basin on the left, but there are three wooden basins on the right, and next to the wooden basins are trays for soaphorn powder and other toiletries.

The left and right walls of the room are respectively a set of neat beds, and the gauze tent and brocade quilt are also bright and tidy.

At the end of the bed were placed dry cloths and a set of dresses on each of the low cabinets.

The color of the dry cloth is white, but the color of the clothes is different: the one with only one barrel has a white undershirt with a red coat, while the one with three barrels has a white undershirt and a light blue coat.

The two people who walked into the room glanced at each other, and Xiao Jiu consciously walked towards the side where the three wooden barrels were placed. I heard Chunhong next to me laugh out loud.

I don't know if I'm laughing at the person who arranged the accommodation is too prescient, or if I'm laughing at Xiaojiu for being too conscious!

Xiao Jiu's body was covered with a layer of black and swarthy, a bit like some greasy black mud mixed with the burnt skin.

She took off her animal skin garment and went into the barrel, poured some soaphorn powder from the wooden box next to her, and scrubbed it vigorously on her body and head.

After washing the first basin of water, the second basin of water was washed, and soon the second basin of water was muddy again, and then the third basin of water was washed.

After washing the last basin of water, she only felt relaxed, as if she had fallen under a heavy burden.

After Xiao Jiu dried the water droplets on his body with a white cloth, he twisted his hair half-dry, and then quickly put on the dress that was ready to be on the bedside table.

When she looked up, she saw that Chunhong on the other side was already dressed neatly, she used a red hairband to loosely tie her half-wet hair, and she was sitting on the edge of the bed staring at herself. Xiao Jiu immediately smiled at her and nodded.

Chunhong's face was stunned, and she saw a pair of bright eyes shining on the fair and ruddy face of the girl opposite, like a hundred flowers blooming, full of vitality!

"Hey, you're not ugly! How did it do the way it did? ”

Xiao Jiu opened his mouth, and it took a long time to pop out two words: "Not ugly!" ”

Chunhong looked at the girl opposite and popped out these two words seriously, and laughed again.

Xiao Jiu ignored her and tied her hair with that blue hairband as she looked.

Chunhong spoke: "Anniang let us go down to the lobby for lunch after we freshen up, let's go down." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the door first.

Xiao Jiu followed Chunhong downstairs, and saw that in the hall, except for himself and Chunhong, the rest of the personnel had already arrived.

There were a total of three tables of food below, and the three people who were said to be immortal cultivators sat at one table, and the rest sat at two tables.

Seeing Xiao Jiu and the two coming down, the eyes of the team all turned around, and then skipped Chunhong, who was walking in front, and fell on Xiao Jiu's body.

I saw the girl in the light blue shirt, with a gesture and a gesture, the charm was pervasive, just looking at the facial features, far less exquisite and outstanding than the spring red in front, but the overall view, but it was not lost half a point. That indifferent demeanor made the originally delicate face with a hint of mystery!

The thin man looked at the bearded man, with a suspicious and questioning expression on his face, and then, after seeing the bearded man nodding definitely, he breathed a sigh of relief: As long as you are sure that you are just a mortal, it will be easy to deal with, what I am afraid of is that I will inadvertently provoke the advanced immortal cultivators!

The young man's eyes showed a hint of amazement, and then a look of disdain: just a mortal!

An Niang and the young woman couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both showed joy: With this kind of style, it seems that it is easier to make an errand to the Li family!

The little girls also showed a look of surprise or jealousy or surprise, and finally calmed down: Chunhong was the top among their group of outstanding girls, but she didn't expect that the momentum of this new girl was not half a point, but she was a dumb person, and she didn't have the capital to earn with them in front of the future master, so it was not a big deal.

"Come and sit down, I'll be waiting for you two." An Niang smiled, her eyes flashed slightly, and she stood up and pulled away the two chairs beside her.

After lunch, An Niang told them about the trip to Li's house tomorrow and some things that should be paid attention to.

"Girls, the place where you will be on an errand in the future is the Li family as a cultivator. And being able to go to the Li family on an errand is really a blessing in your life, you don't have to worry about food and clothing in the future, and you don't have to worry about life like these days.

If you have that blessing and marry a good husband in the future, future generations will be able to enjoy the blessings! If you can give birth to a descendant with spiritual roots, and follow the Li family's immortal cultivators to cultivate immortals in the future, it will be even more edification!

So, all of you have to be in good spirits and not make the slightest mistake! If you can't let the Li family stay, you will be far from a good life! "In the end, it's all over the place.

When his gaze swept over Xiao Jiu, he stopped, as if he didn't know how to speak. In the end, he asked, "Can you say your name?" ”

"Ah、、、 Wang 、、、 Jiu、、、" After a few days of observation and silent practice, Xiao Jiu has been able to say some syllables.

"Ah Wang Jiu?" An Niang asked.

"Wang Jiu!" Xiao Jiu's answer this time was crisp and concise.

A hint of surprise flashed on An Niang's face: Why did it suddenly make sense? Maybe it's because of my name!

Turning her head, she motioned for the young woman to add Xiao Jiu's name to the list of writers.

The next afternoon was spent training the girls on their manners and manners.

In the evening, the girls dragged their tired bodies and fell asleep with anxious anticipation.

Early the next morning, a group of people got back into the carriage. The carriage continued its way down the path, passing in front of a large house and stopping at a smaller side door.

Someone opened the door from the inside, and the carriage went in. Inside is a wide and delicate yard, with flowers, trees, rockeries and flowing water. Xiao Jiu could hear An Niang's voice in front of him greeting people:

"Ouch, isn't this Steward Li? Why so early? I didn't expect us to be able to meet you just after we arrived! ”

"Oh? It's the one who walks in the breeze, right? You have come just in time for a time when there is a shortage of people in your family. It was a neutral male voice.

"Ouch, I didn't expect us to be just in time for the trip." An Niang flattered without a trace, her voice was bright and enthusiastic, she turned her head to a coachman and said, "Why don't you let the girls come down and let Steward Li pass by?" ”

He turned his head to Steward Li and said enthusiastically: "Steward Li, we have left you fifteen of the most outstanding girls according to your instructions!" ”

"Why are there only fifteen, aren't there many of them that you can choose from them?" There was a faint question in Steward Li's voice.

"Ouch, look at what you said, it's not the best, how can I leave it to you, these fifteen girls are all carefully selected, this time you have to be in a hurry, we will send it to you as soon as we pick it up, thinking that we can't delay your big event." Besides, we haven't met any better girls than these fifteen along the way. Believe it or not! As he spoke, he pointed to the girls who got out of the carriage one by one.

I saw a group of little girls waiting to be released, all brightly dressed, and very energetic. From the sparkle in their eyes, it can be seen that they are all clever and agile people. It's just that the last one is a little older, but he has a quiet temperament, which is a little different from the style of the girl who was sent by this Qingfeng Yaxing before.

An Niang looked at Steward Li's gaze on Xiao Jiu, and said with a smile: "When I came last time, I heard you say, 'It would be nice if there was a bigger one', and I don't know what you mean, thinking that it would be good if I could solve your troubles, so I took it to heart." So this time I sent this bigger one, so that you can also have someone who can do rough work to choose from. This girl is not very neat and illiterate, but she is a good qualification to be able to work without causing trouble.

Of course, the meaning of the details is still up to Li Guan you, lest those of us who have no vision to get up and have a good mind will help us again, and it will not be beautiful to miss your business. "Actually, the last time Steward Li said that sentence to a wooden box, An Niang just borrowed an excuse to introduce Xiao Jiu.

Steward Li was a middle-aged man with a full forehead and a handsome face, and at this time he frowned slightly, and then nodded slightly.

"Then leave it all and give me the roster, and someone will come and settle the bill with you in a moment." I don't know if I really accepted An Niang's words or what kind of thinking I did.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and get your own baggage, and wait to listen to Steward Li's orders!" While scolding the girls, An Niang took out the piece of paper that added Xiao Jiu's name earlier、、、、、、

The girls listened to An Niang's words and turned back to the carriage, and after a while, they stopped again in the courtyard with one person and one burden.

Xiao Jiu's baggage was a leather bag made of the animal skin coat, and all that was covered was a leather pants and leather skirt, a stone, and a bamboo strip coiled in a circle.
