There are hundreds of women in the weaving room, there are palace maids and women who come to work nearby, the doors and windows are closed, no one in the room speaks, only the sound of the loom "squeaking", as if the machine is not sitting in front of people, but souls, one by one has no life and only knows the soul of work, and the air has a dull and solemn smell.

Yuehua sat in it weaving, weaving looks easy, in fact, it is far from that simple, the left hand has to play the shuttle back and forth left and right, the right hand quickly pushes and pulls the comb, the force is small and can not be pulled, one hand is actually very laborious, both hands are not good, and they have to cooperate with both feet to pedal, hands and feet have to cooperate properly, they still weave cloth for the army, and do not weave patterns, if the weaving pattern is more troublesome.

Yuehua entered the palace at the age of eleven, she had never woven cloth at all, weaving cloth was learned from the border pass, she was not skilled, and it was easy to mismatch the line if she did not cooperate well, Yuehua was most afraid of the wrong line, as long as the wrong line had to be dismantled to disturb the line, and the fastest line management would take a quarter of an hour to sort out, if you were unlucky for an hour. It is not easy for a skilled weaver to weave a piece of cloth a day, and their palace maids must finish weaving a piece of cloth every day, and if they make two wrong threads, they will not be able to finish the work, and if they can't finish the work, they will have no food, and they can only starve without food. She's afraid of the wrong line! The more careful you are, sometimes you are more likely to make mistakes if you are too nervous.

This work is no lighter than picking soil on the dam, and it is a little bit of a god to distribute.

From the moment she got on the loom, her nerves were highly concentrated, her mind was easily tired, and the repetitive movements she repeated day after day were tiresome. She also recalls the rice in the palace, the white flour steamed buns, the mutton pot in winter, the sweet bowl and the cold sour plum soup in summer, and the pastry and sugar cubes that are appreciated during the New Year's Festival.

She also hates working in the weaving room, hates going to the dam to pick up soil, hates living in a small house of more than 20 people, who wants to do this for the women here! Yan Hong's proposal was not unmoved by her, but she knew in her heart that this army was so strictly controlled, whether they could escape was a question, that is, what would they rely on to live if they escaped!? Yuehua was released from the palace, from Jingcheng, the capital of the country, to the southwest border, and the people's livelihood withered all the way, and the road was full of begging along the streets, selling children and daughters, and there were burning, killing and robbing along the way, and it was chaotic.

The world is so bad, their group of palace maids are alone without a father or mother, and they only have a few taels of silver brought out from the palace, and it is a problem to escape from here and live.

Living a hard life at the border and marrying a military family, maybe the children and grandchildren are all military households, and they are ninth-rate. But after becoming a military household with their backs to the army, no matter how bad their life is, they will not starve to death, they will not freeze to death, and they will not be sold around. They're out there, and they're not even better than they are now, maybe even worse. Yuehua thought in her heart, it was better to be practical, and there might be a way out for those who worked here in a down-to-earth manner.

It is estimated that most of the palace maids who come here also think the same way, otherwise everyone complains every day that they don't eat well and live badly, but there are really few who plan to run away. The big guys are still working honestly, earning performance honestly, hoping to get the blue eyes of Chen Po and Yan Po, who are in charge, and say something good when the time comes. Even, some thoughtful little palace maids have begun to think about who they plan to match them to, how about the man, how about the house, and how many children they will have.

Yuehua didn't know why Yanhong wanted to run away, but Yuehua knew in her heart that Yanhong was annoying and annoying, and this person must have the scheming and brains to grab the position of the former emperor's accountant among a bunch of palace maids. Yan Hong's willingness to come to the border must have been considered, otherwise she would not have a home and would not go back. She wants to escape now, probably because she has found a better way out than at the border pass. Yuehua also knew that she didn't have any good intentions, they didn't know each other, and they didn't get to the point where I ran away and took you with me, and running away and pulling myself was definitely not taking her to live a good life, but playing her calculations. Yuehua is not stupid, don't say that she refuses to run away, even if she wants to escape, she will not go all the way with Yanhong.

The weaving room has two hours of eating and rest time at noon every day, and the lunch is also two buckwheat baba and a bowl of rice soup. Yuehua finished eating the last bite of buckwheat and came over again: "Yuehua! ”

Yuehua hummed and agreed, and continued to weave every time she raised her head, but she didn't want to take care of her.

"What are you doing so desperately!?" Yan Hong stood up to her and smiled.

"I can't compare to your ingenuity, I can't finish the work!" Yuehua was reluctant to fight with her, and she had the intention of driving people away.

"Look at your hands, they are white and tender, and the ten fingers are like shallots, even the nobles in the palace are not so good-looking, and it is a pity that the work has become rough, and the hands are blind." Yan Hong glanced at Yuehua's hands, Yuehua's hands are indeed good-looking, although the perennial work is not as delicate as the hands of those palace concubines, but the ten fingers are slender, slender and white, and the nails are round and full, if they are well maintained, they are definitely better than the concubines in the palace.

Yuehua glanced at her, Yanhong has always been proud of beauty, and she is not a broad-minded person, someone said earlier that Yanhong was not as beautiful as Yuehua when she was unhappy for a day, she would only say good things when she asked for someone, and Yanhong was a good person, most people knew her in their hearts, but as long as she said sweet words, there were still a lot of people who followed her.

At this time, she praised Yuehua for definitely having something to ask her, but at this time she just pulled a smile: "No way, I'm a palace maid, not a nobleman, I have to work with my hands." ”

Yan Hong suddenly leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Let me tell you, there is a road in the back mountain that is usually unguarded, we can walk through there if we want to go, I am going to leave tonight, can you go!?" It is said that this road will be sealed in a few days, and it is still too late to leave. ”

"It's your business if you're going to run, what are you talking to me about!?" With the foundation just now, it is not surprising that Yanhua would think about escaping.

"We are all people in front of the palace, and we are all poor people, I treat you as a sister, and I naturally think of you when there are good things, you are afraid that I will harm you! What am I going to do to you!

To tell you the truth, I met my cousin on the way here, my cousin and I were originally very good, but unfortunately my old son and mother went, I was sold into the palace by my black-hearted brother, we broke off, and it was easy to meet again to know that he took his daughter-in-law a few years ago, and the daughter-in-law died of illness a few years ago, if I went out, he was willing to marry me, and I thought about running away. My cousin now sells goods in this area for a living, and has a house here, and says that if he marries me, he will give me two big yellow gold bracelets, and I will go out to enjoy the blessings.

You and I are finally fated, I always think about you when I'm good, so I talk to my cousin about you, and I want to find a good way out with you! He really got it, he knew a Wang Po, Wang Po is also a trader, now in this area to sell beads, let out money, there is a house in his hometown, there is a shop here, there is silver in his hand, she only has one son, died a year ago, and now the Hun family is looking for a continuation.

The wife in front of this Wang family kid is beautiful, and she wants to find a continuation at this time, and she can't look down on it when she is idle, so she has to find a beautiful one, and her background doesn't matter, so I told her about you.

We came out of the palace, the beauty knows the rules, the hands and feet are diligent, they are very satisfied, when you escape, the Wang family Xiaolang will take you directly to your hometown, there is a big house and a family in the hometown, you enter the door and directly be a young grandmother, there are people to serve you when you eat and dress, you will enjoy the blessings. ”

Yuehua really stopped what she was doing, and thought about it for a while, she seemed to remember that Yanhong met a man when she was on the road, this man was a businessman, and he looked good, Yanhong had hooked up with this man on the road for a long time, Yanhong was shrewd and refused to reveal too much about this man, Yuehua was not a person who got to the bottom of it, so even if Yuehua walked with her all the way, she didn't know who this man was, and now it seems to be her cousin.

Yan Hong hooked up with her cousin halfway through the way, Yuehua is not strange at all, Yan Hong is prodigal and amorous, and the guards who escorted her on the road can laugh a few words, Yan Hong is really good-looking, and the guards are really interested in her and are willing to run with her, but she dislikes that the guards are too poor to look down on, and she just wants to flirt. Now listening to her say this, it is really possible that there is a 'cousin' waiting for her to marry.

Yan Hong didn't have any good intentions, Yuehua didn't like it in her heart, but the two of them had been walking together for two months, Yuehua was still afraid that she would be deceived, so she thought about it and said: "If this is the case, it's good, but I don't have the guts, if I catch it, it's not fun, and it's not good to deal with it by military law." You and your cousin haven't seen him for many years and don't know what his condition is now. Don't let him fool you. I'm not saying you have any bad thoughts about me, I'm saying this! Ugly words are ahead...... "Yuehua paused and said: "That Wang Po's family is really so good, what a good daughter-in-law can't find a palace maid who has to run away like us!" Mo wasn't trying to figure out something else. If you have the leisure to talk to me, you might as well weave a piece of cloth, and if you can't finish weaving, you will starve. After that, he continued to do his own thing.

Yan Hong's face was completely pulled down at this moment: "I told you that I was for your good, but not for you, why don't you think about people for good!" Anyway, I ran away at night, you don't love to come, don't blame me if you regret it when you look back, I'm really that Lu Dongbin, I did a good thing and was bitten by a dog. As he spoke, he said: "It's a pity that you have become a wife for this group of soldiers, and you can't find anyone to cry when you look back." He shook his face and left.
