The road is long and mountainous, and it is only for the king's call for thousands of miles......

Jin Zangjiao pinched a thin silk handkerchief and looked at the long string of draft teams through the crack in the car window. He sighed and read two sentences in a low voice. Although the voice is small, she can't help the maid with good ears.

A crisp and sweet voice rolled into the sedan like a bead: "Lady, are you hungry and thirsty?" Embroidered apricots will buy you snacks. Listening to Brother Quanfu, there is a family in the capital that has the best dim sum. This journey has been tiring, the lady didn't eat anything good, and now that she has finally arrived at the place, she can't be wronged. ”

The girl embroidered apricot, small and handsome, smart and capable. This is the most powerful maid by A-Niang's side. When she came to Beijing, A-Niang still didn't let go, thinking that the girl next to her was too wooden, so she forced the embroidered apricot force to her.

"A-Niang and embroidered chrysanthemums and plums, it's enough, your father's official is small. A-Niang and your brother are at home all day long, how can there be a place to go. Embroider apricot cleverly, let her accompany you, A-Niang rest assured. The draft is a rule that I have to go, and if I lose the draft, I will come back quickly, as long as my good girl is okay, A-Niang will be happy. ”

Yin Yin's words are still echoing. Zangjiao suddenly felt a sour heat in her eyes, but the tears couldn't stop flowing. Xiuxing couldn't hear an echo for a long time, so she was so panicked that she wanted to lift the curtain and come in.

Zang Jiao hurriedly reprimanded: "Don't make trouble, on the street, I'm fine, I'm good to follow the carriage and horses of Shangfujun, there are many people in Beijing, if you get lost and can't find the post house for a while, you will be in trouble." ”

Yes, Daddy is just a small county under the rule of the state capital. It is also a loss to draw camps on weekdays, and the county is rich. Fang saved some surplus money. Only then did she and her mother's brother have plenty of food and clothing.

If it weren't for the new emperor's accession to the throne, in order to fill the harem, this would be a large-scale draft. All the daughters of officials of the seventh rank or above, who have reached the age of 14 and are innocent and beautiful, must run for election. If the old emperor was there, her little daughter of Qipin County would not be able to enter the forbidden door.

It's just that his own family has such ability, hundreds of miles to send the Beijing Division, Daddy managed to ask the governor of the palace, so he was attached to the prefect's daughter's tail, and went to Beijing with the Fuzhou show team.

Before leaving, Daddy entrusted him with a lot of money and the chief of the guard, and his brother Quanfu drove and embroidered Xinghe'er with him. Transition every water, rest at night, and finally arrive in the capital as scheduled.

Embroidered apricot is playful, as soon as she enters the capital, she sits in front of the car with He'er and watches and laughs, the girl is fine, but the lady can't be looked at. Seeing that the lady was responsible, she stuck out her tongue and stopped talking. The two girls obediently hid behind Quanfu and watched the prosperous scenery of the capital.

The sedan car went on and on, and finally stopped. Someone came to spread the word, it has arrived at the pavilion, and when the lady of the mansion is settled, the daughter of the Cheng of Jinxian County can go to the west side of the house to settle. After the general election the day after tomorrow, someone will come to the palace.

By the time everyone is properly settled, it's already time to hold the lamp. After Zangjiao bathed, she changed into her old clothes, pulled her hair and leaned on the bed to rest. Xiuxing was busy making He'er go to the room to urge food, and she and Zangjiao gently pinched her sedentary calves.

The lights are like a halo, shining on Zangjiao's bare legs and ankles as smooth and delicate as jade, Xiuxing smiled: "Lady's skin is similar to the master, not like Da Langjun, although he looks like a lady's fair-skinned." But it doesn't have such a lustrous complexion. ”

Zangjiao snorted and scolded: "This girl, why does she talk so frivolously, Daddy also uses it to talk." Xiuxing said with a smile: "When the slave maid is serving beside the lady, she has to fetch water and wash her feet with the lord every day, so she can naturally see clearly, the lady's skin and complexion are like the lord, Mother Ye said, the lord was also a first-class beautiful man when he was young." The girl looks like him. ”

Zangjiao pursed her lips and smiled softly, Mother Ye is her nursing mother since she was a child, and A-Niang's dowry maid takes care of her like a daughter. A-Niang often said that if Mother Ye had a trace of attachment back then, she would let her have sex with her. It's a pity that she only wants to serve her mother faithfully all her life, so she gave up, and promised her father to follow Zhao An.

When she was born, Mother Ye's youngest son was already one year old, and he never put on the milk, and became her nurse. The family is sparsely populated, and the nurse and the brother are as kind as a family, even the father has never been cold, and often laughs with them. Mother Ye did praise her for her beautiful complexion, just like her father.

Although the mother is fair-skinned, she is not very beautiful, with light eyebrows and crooked eyes, and a dough face full of kindness, which makes people feel warm. But the younger brother is quite like his mother. I ran for election this time, but I couldn't see that my younger brother should be a boy who tried.

Eyebrows flowed, there was a faint sadness scattered, Xiuxing saw that the girl was homesick, and said in a panic: "Don't be sad, the lady is not good, it causes the lady to be troubled, and she should be beaten." ”

Zangjiao shook her head slightly, sighed lightly with a worried face: "That's it, Xing'er, I want to run for election, my father and mother are bothered." I don't know how much effort it took for me. The second elder said that our family has no wealth and no power, and the money is just for me not to be wronged this time. If you lose the election, go home and choose a lover to marry, it is better than entering the palace, and the deep palace is not a place for us to stay. ”

Xiuxing tilted her head and said: "What the lady said, and what the old lady also said." But with such a lady's appearance, it is enough to be a queen's mother. If you are selected, you will inevitably be favored by Your Majesty, as long as the official family likes the lady, it will not be. The slave maid also went to secretly look at the lady of the Fujun family, which was very far worse than the lady. ”

Nodding a little embroidered apricot's little head, Zangjiao couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't criticize others behind your back, the daughter of the prince is noble, how can you talk nonsense behind your back." What a silly girl. ”

The master and servant were laughing when they heard a soft noise outside, the door opened, and He'er walked in with two food boxes and put them on the table. Xiuxing said angrily: "Why did you go for half a day, you have to starve the lady." ”

The two of them were used to talking and laughing, and He'er glanced at her and said while putting food on the table: "Fortunately, I went, if you go, I'm afraid I won't quarrel with anyone." When I arrived at the room, there were also a few other maids and sisters-in-law, who were very arrogant.

The road is a big kitchen diet her girl is not used to eating, took the silver and asked the cook to make another one, the mother-in-law saw the silver and her eyes lit up. Leave us to cook with her mother-in-law. It took a long time to get our food out. ”

Zang Jiao saw a bowl of white rice, two side dishes, two plates of vegetables and a bowl of mutton soup on the table. In the other food box, there are only two large bowls of commonly used white rice, two kinds of vegetarian dishes, and a bowl of tofu soup, which is obviously embroidered with apricot lotus.

Xiuxing served her and sat down at the table, and Zangjiao ate half a bowl of rice, used some vegetables and a small bowl of meat soup. After cleaning his hands, he returned to the bed and leaned on the pillow and said to the two of them: "I'm full, your food is too plain, and it's been very hard all the way, just eat all this." ”

The two girls are known to have a soft temperament and are extremely lenient. Xiuxing smiled even more, and hurriedly made the spoon drink a mouthful of meat soup and said: "It's really delicious, there is meat soup at home, but the taste is not as good as this, it seems that the chef in the capital is unusual." ”

Ha'er laughed; "It's only been seven or eight days of driving, look at the way you are greedy, it's all your wife's usual use of your delicate life. In the future, the lady will enter the palace and become a mother, and you will be rewarded with marrying a royal cook. ”

Xiuxing was teased, laughed and scolded and reached out to pinch He'er's mouth, the two made a mess, Zangjiao smiled and watched the two girls pinch their mouths, thanks to her two worries and boredom, a lot of homesickness was reduced. It's just that the palace, the mother, the royal kitchen. It's just a yellow beam. From the seven-grade petty official's family like this, how many beauties are beautiful in the whole country. How can it be your turn to be the master.

That's it, that is, to come to the capital to see the world once. After the primary election the day after tomorrow, he will return to his hometown early, and his grandmother will be in charge, marry a husband who knows how hot and cold is hot and cold, gentle and considerate, and give birth to a pair of children.

Thinking about it, he gradually smiled at the corner of his mouth, stretched his eyebrows, and covered the starry eyes with soft long eyelashes. After days of toiling and fatigue, he slept soundly. Embroidered apricot and He'er tiptoed up, and Zangjiao hung down the Luo tent cover and embroidered the quilt. I went to lay a rest on the low couch and didn't say anything for a night.
