Chapter 1 Crossing

Next Chapter

"Sister Da Lin, will your family come to pick you up tomorrow?"

Big! Forest! Sister! What else can Lin Yu say? Who let himself take the big train at the age of twenty-nine, and also crossed over to the sad palace maid of the same age?! After thinking about it for many days, Lin Yu didn't even understand whether he was calling himself a soul or a body! Why are the appearances, ages, and names all the same! Aside from his background and the job he was about to lose!

In the middle of the night a few days ago, Lin Yu woke up in a dry well with a splitting headache, and many clips came into her mind like a movie, and she realized that she should have crossed over.

It is said that this former lord is also a miserable person. She is the palace maid who entered the palace in the ninth year of Tongzhi of the Tianzhe Dynasty, and her home is in Linjiagou Village, a suburb of Liyun County, Yuzhou in the north. In the nine-year draft of Tongzhi, fifteen-year-old Lin Yu was among the candidates because he had not yet decided on a marriage and was innocent in family affairs, and because he had no money to dredge, his appearance was too mediocre, and he finally became the palace maid of Jiang Cainu in the same county.

Later, this Jiang Cai's female position continued to rise, and she became a beauty all the way, and Lin Yu lived a good life for two or three years. However, after that, Jiang Meiren somehow offended the emperor and was sent to the cold palace, and she, as a close palace maid, was also punished. Later, Jiang Meiren went crazy and died, and she was arranged to the Huanyi Bureau again, and it was not until this time when the number of places out of the palace was counted that she was found to have passed the age of leaving the palace.

A palace maid who has passed the age of twenty-five, if she is not a female official of high rank, is not allowed to stay in the palace. So no matter how much the former lord dredged and begged, he was not allowed to stay. The former owner considered that he was old, there were many brothers and sisters in the family, and Lao Ziniang didn't know that he was not there and many other factors, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was no way to live when he left the palace, so he couldn't think about it for a while and threw himself into the well.

Fortunately, it's a dry well! Good thing there is a thick layer of silt in the well! Otherwise, how could Lin Yu still be able to pass through!

Lin Yu is a teacher in a private school in modern times. Because the growth is not beautiful enough, the family affairs are not good enough, and the work is not good enough, and it is left after coming and going. The terrible thing is that she was bombarded by her parents' phone calls every day and forced to get married, and finally was hit by a motorcycle rushing out of the alley in the process of answering the phone. Then, I crossed over here.

"Help! Is anyone there? I'm the palace maid of the Huanyi Bureau, and I fell into the well! Lin Yu shouted at the top of her voice, and finally when she felt that her throat was broken, she was rescued by the guards who patrolled the night.

Injured and cold, Lin Yu lay in bed for five days. In the past five days, this little palace maid named Xiao Wu has been taking care of her.

"Sister Da Lin, will your family come to pick you up tomorrow?" After Xiao Wu finished his work, he came to Lin Yu's side to talk to her.

"No, I don't know who is in the family." Lin Yu said lightly while packing up his poor luggage.

"I've been in the palace for two years, and no one in my family has come to see me." Xiao Wu said sadly.

"Your home is on the outskirts of Beijing, so I didn't come to see you because I didn't have anything special. If you think about the benefits, there should be no shortage of money at home, and the body is healthy, which is to let you save money with peace of mind. Lin Yu comforted.

Xiao Wu still wanted to say something, but when he thought about it, Lin Yu was twenty-nine, and he didn't know how hard it was to be released from the palace, and it would be too hypocritical to talk about it himself, so he kept his mouth shut.

Lin Yu picked a gilded begonia hairpin from the baggage and handed it to her, saying, "Thanks to you for taking care of me these days, I'll give you this begonia hairpin." ”

"Sister Da Lin, how can I ask for your things? There are many places where you can use money after you leave the palace. Xiao Wu waved his hand again and again to refuse.

"It's okay, you can take it, I'm not bad for this one. It's not worth much, and besides, I'm too old to wear such a fancy style. Lin Yu grabbed Xiao Wu's hand and put the hairpin in her hand.

On the second day, the sky was bright, and Lin Yu and the three palace maids of the Huanyi Bureau walked towards the palace gate amid everyone's farewell. Lin Yu looked back at the majestic palace step by step, until the heavy red lacquer gate behind him slowly closed. At that moment, Lin Yu was full of emotion in his heart: How many fourteen years of life are there? The youth and life of the former Lord remained here. However, Lin Yu's life has just begun.

Out of the imperial city, the palace maids who came out together were hugged by their families one by one, holding hands and walking together.

Looking at the happy reunion of their family, Lin Yu's eyes were a little hot.

The former lord has been in the palace for many years, and the people in the family have never come to see her once. She can even remember that on every day when her family was allowed to visit, the former lord went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a low voice to ask if any family members came to see her this time, and every time, it was a disappointing result.

Later, the former lord entered the cold palace and could no longer come and go at will, and I don't know if the family has ever come to see her again. I don't know, when she was twenty-five years old, did the family wait for her like this with full expectations?

Thinking of this, Lin Yu, who originally felt helpless and at a loss for the road ahead, suddenly felt that she should go home for the former lord to have a look.

Although the former lord finally decided that her family would not come to see her again, she always had a hope in her heart. Now that Lin Yu occupies her body, she should fulfill such a wish for her.

After making up his mind, how to return to Yuzhou has become a difficult problem.

At the beginning, she was sent by the government's carriage and horse to Beijing, and now if she wants to go back, she has to inquire.

The former lord was a dead eye. When I was in the cold palace, most of the money I saved was taken away by the little eunuch who delivered food, and the few who were left were accommodated by the Internal Affairs Office a few days ago. What is left on his body now is two plain silver hairpins and a gilt bracelet, which is the reward of ten taels of silver issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs yesterday.

Lin Yu didn't dare to spend more, so he only found a single room in the inn to live in, and asked Xiao Er to help contact the caravan back to Yuzhou.

Xiao Erda heard that he would not be able to leave until the day after tomorrow when he returned to Yuzhou, and he would have to walk for about twenty-five days, and he would need two hangings of money.

After all, he wanted to go home, Lin Yu felt that he had been away from home for many years, and he should buy some things for his family, but he didn't know who was more and who was missing in the family, so he could only buy some special products in Beijing such as caramel candy. She felt that she still needed to buy two books to learn about the history, geography and humanities of this era.

On the third day, the caravan to Yuzhou set off.

Lin Yu sat on the bumpy mule cart and quietly read the book.

From the book, Lin Yu learned that the Tianzhe Dynasty is the tenth dynasty in history, and the hierarchy is quite similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, but the clothes are like the Song Dynasty, and the folk customs are like the Jin Dynasty.

The Tianzhe Dynasty is near the sea, and there are three state capitals on the coastline, with a total of seven state capitals and 32 counties in the whole territory. The Tianzhe Dynasty is bordered by the sea in the east, Xiqiang in the west, Nanyue in the south, and Hushan in the north. And Yuzhou is the north gate of the Tianzhe Dynasty, and Liyun County is at the most border.
