Chapter Twenty-Five: All or Nothing

"Qiuyun, you hide in your kennel all day long and pretend to be stupid, and the things that the master has explained are a mess. Your hair is gone, don't you want your head? ”

The sun outside the house hung in the sky, but the windows in the autumn cloud room were messily pasted with several layers of thick hemp paper, covering the room in a dim and blurred space, and the table was littered with dirty dishes and leftovers. A sour smell of saying no accumulates in the room, and people want to vomit.

The person who spoke covered his nose tightly with a handkerchief, and he couldn't bear the smell of corruption, and rushed to him, squinting at Qiu Yun, who was kneeling on the ground and disheveled, with a look of deep disgust.

The hair on Qiu Yun's head had just grown a layer of black and fluffy stubble, and at first glance he looked like a wild monk who had just returned to the world. For several days, I was frightened and couldn't sleep and eat, and the horizontal flesh on my face had lost a lot of weight, and my eyes were blue and black, and my face was sallow.

Shaking his body, he said in a trembling voice: "The Red Willow Palace decrees forgiveness, it's not that the slave maid is ineffective, it's really that the slut surnamed Jin is too weird." The slave instructed Guixiang to kill her in the provincial room, but Guixiang died violently in the room. But the slut went back to his place in good shape,

I don't know if the slave's hair has been shaved by a god or something.

There are also the two palace people who the slave ordered to be drugged, and I don't know why, the drugged medicinal soup was poured into several dogs from the Siyuan Bureau to eat, but one of them fell to death on the road, and the other fell into the well in vain. ”

Qiu Yun said with a look of fear and horror on his face, stretched his neck and carefully turned his two flesh bubble eyes to look left and right, for fear that some god and ghost would suddenly come out in a dark corner and cause him to die.

Hongliu frowned, took a few steps back, and shouted in a low voice: "It's clear that someone is secretly helping her, but you idiot is talking nonsense here." If you are afraid of gods and ghosts, you should think about how your master will punish you when he is angry!

Niangniang urged several times, but you missed again and again, and lost a few slaves and maids. The same party of the Jin family is trying to rescue her in the palace, if you don't do it again, I'm afraid that the night will be long and the dream will be too much, and then you will collect your body! ”

Qiuyun's eyes turned, and he looked up pitifully at Hongliu: "It's not that the slave and maid don't dare to do it, it's just that the slave and maid are now robbed of the deacon's palace people who can't manage the Siyuan Bureau, and there is no one under them to use."

The new Lingzhi slave inquired about which lady in the palace had something to do with it, and treated the little hoof quite kindly. The cheap slaves in their room were very protective of the little hooves, and the slaves and maids really couldn't find a chance to do it. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, now Lingzhi has been called to Hanzhu Palace by my mother to find an excuse that the melons and fruits are not fresh, clean up your sloppy appearance, and follow my instructions to discipline that slut to die."

Hongliu approached Qiu Yun and bent down to lower his voice and gave Qiu Yun an order, Qiu Yun stared at a pair of fleshy bubble eyes and said tremblingly: "This, if this slave makes a move, she will kill people on the spot, although she has been demoted to a palace person, I am afraid that someone in the inner palace will stand up for her, and the slave and maid will not be a dead end." ”

Hongliu straightened up and snorted coldly: "Do you say that your life is very valuable?" If you don't do it, you know Niangniang's methods, the Jin family will not die, but I am afraid that you will die today. ”

glanced at Qiu Yun, who had a fierce look in his eyes, and coaxed her with a soft tone: "You just have to rest assured, Niangniang said, as long as you take care of that cheap maid today, I will send you out of the palace immediately, and Niangniang also ordered me to bring you five hundred taels of silver, you see." ”

took out a silver ticket from his bosom and stuffed it into Qiu Yun's hand to continue to induce: "Look, you have this silver, go out of the palace to find a place to hide incognito for two years, and who else in the harem would think of a dead palace person." By that time you have so much money in your hands, and you are afraid that you will not be able to live a good life? ”

Qiu Yun's stubby fingers tightly grasped the silver ticket, licked his dry lips, narrowed his eyes and asked Hongliu: "Niang Niang really said, that slut will send me out of the palace immediately after he dies?" The palace order won't lie to me. ”

Hongliu changed into a kind smile and glanced at her: "Qiuyun, what are you talking about, Niangniang Jinkou Yuya, Lord Song is powerful in the court, will he still treat you harshly?" As long as you are loyal, you will go out of the palace in the future, and the mother will take care of you a lot, just rest assured! ”

"Since Niangniang is a good talker, then I'll go out and give it a go!" Qiu Yun raised his eyes and the killing intent rose, holding the silver ticket in both hands and clenching his fists tightly, his mouth full of yellow teeth creaking.

"Jiao Niang, I have killed a fat pig in the canteen today, and I heard that there are more than 200 catties." Xiao Dong'er's face was red, and she ran into the house with her hands, and reported the good news to Zangjiao, who had returned from serving the melon field to Cai and Yulan.

"More than two hundred pounds? This pig is not small. I had fresh bone broth for lunch today. Yulan is a lover of oil and water, and when she heard Xiao Dong'er's words, she became happy, and answered with a smile.

The official eunuchs or wealthy families of the southern state of Chu only eat fish, sheep, chickens and ducks, and Zangjiao is really not used to eating pork meat, and feels a little fishy. Eat every day, but pick some vegetarian dishes and barely eat. Seeing the joy of the two of them, he also smiled: "Dong'er likes to gnaw on that pork bone the most, and I can eat it all today." ”

"Jiao Niangzi is from an official family, she doesn't like pork, so she has to eat some anyway, I see you getting thinner and thinner day by day." Yulan wiped her wet hands and came over with pity, looking at Zangjiao's emaciated cheeks, shaking her head and sighing.

"It's okay, it's a vegetarian dish, but you two like to go earlier." Zangjiao carefully tied her hair tightly in front of the half copper mirror, changed out of her sweaty cloth clothes, folded them clean, and went to the dining hall with Xiao Dong'er and the three of them.

A large pot of hot pork bone stewed green radish was placed on the wooden table, oily and tempting, Yulan and Xiao Dong'er rubbed their hands, hurriedly grabbed a wooden spoon and added a coarse porcelain bowl, Zangjiao picked up a few radishes and pickled sauce and dried tofu and ate quietly.

After only a few bites, I saw Qiu Yun swaggering in with Li Zhi'er. The palace people in the dining hall were all eating and gossiping, and seeing Qiu Yun, who had not appeared for a long time, was wrapped in a cloth towel on his head, and his strange appearance was very ridiculous. Shut up, you look at me, I look at you, holding back laughter and being silent.

Qiuyun rolled around the canteen with puffy eyes, walked to the table of Zangjiao and a few people with a sneer, crossed his hands and laughed: "A person as expensive as Jieyu Niangniang also eats this sassy pork meat, and it seems that he is also a cheap bone." ”

Zangjiao glanced at her coldly and didn't bother to pay attention to it, and continued to bow her head to eat. Li Zhi'er spoke in a hoarse voice next to her: "Don't you know that Deacon Qiu is a, and she hooked up with the guards in the palace, and was demoted to this Siyuan Bureau and put her mother's score." ”

These words were very harsh and ugly, and Zangjiao's heart sank and became angry, and she put down her chopsticks and said lightly: "Li Gongren and I don't know each other, but I have repeatedly made insulting and provocative remarks, isn't it crazy?" ”

Xiao Dong'er was a little afraid of Qiuyun, but she was not afraid of Li Zhi'er, and said loudly: "Li Zhi'er, are you blinded by eating that fat pork fat oil?" Why is there your business anywhere, and you are looking for a beautiful lady all day long, but I'm afraid it's crazy. ”

Yulan raised her head and glanced at Li Zhi'er, holding chopsticks and only talking to Zangjiao: "Jiao Niang doesn't have to pay attention to this crazy woman, let's eat." ”

Qiu Yun saw that the three of them still lowered their heads and ate by themselves as if no one was around, and when they were nothing, they didn't get angry, but only smiled and shook their eyes at Li Zhi'er.

Li Zhi'er stood at the table in a daze, and suddenly reached out and overturned the table with a bang, only to hear a clanging sound of breaking, the table overturned, and the bowl shattered to the ground. The vegetable juice sewage was dripping and splashed on Zangjiao and Yulan Xiaodong'er.

Xiao Dong'er screamed, and reached out to scratch Li Zhi'er.
